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

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

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

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

Among others: • Errigo, one of the tournament's favorites at his weight class. lost 6-5 in his quarterfinal match after leading for most of the contest . "Joe sustained a gash over his eye with about 45 seconds to go in the match," explained Michael. "He was winning at the time. but the match had to be stopped so we could stop the bleeding. I think that affected his composure because he was taken down twice in the last 45 seco nd s and lost." • Irving, an All-American last year, lost in the semifinals after leading his Ithaca opponent late in the match: " Steve was winning by two with four seconds to go when he was taken down and put on his back," recalled Michael. "He ended up losing by two." • Capone. wresliing in his first championships, probably suffered the toughest setback of any wrestler, from any team, in the tournament. "Jim tied his man 3-3 in regulation and then I- I in the overtime period," explained Michael. "lf a match is tied after overtime, then it goes to criteria" which is akin 10 a tie-breaker system.

"These types of things happen in all tournaments,". said Michael , " In order for you to won , though , they have to hap~en to the other guys.

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

That's how the space on the south side. of Baldy Hall looks today. All that will change on April 20-24. Those arc the dates sched uled for the construction of a new playground at UB's Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC). The new Cbristine Cataldo Memorial Play Area won't look hke the average playground. according to James Hoot. director of the ECRC. The planned new play area, . a "creative play space." IS des•gned with children's development in mind . The des ign stems from research indicating that children's cognitive development is linked directlv to their play, Hoot explained . He adds that the first eight years are especially imponant tn thts development. Most playgrounds emphasile building bodies. Hoot said . But a creati ve play space also emphasiles building mind s. It docs zhal by offering choices for children, explained Ernie Bayles. a representative of Robert S. Leathers and Associates. the architectural firm that designs such cu•tom-made play areas. ''Traditional playground activities are geared toward specific stimulations. such as spinning. moving. and sliding," Bayles said. "They offer only one choice at each station. The concept of a creative play space is to enco urage a wide variety of activities." Lumber, ti res , and slides are fashioned into an interconnected series of spaceships, castles, turrets, ships, bridges, or whatever children want them to be as they spend their play time. "The focus is on the child as decision-maker," he said . In fact, children had a say in the design of the space. Leathers and his associates met with children from the center last spring to determine what they wanted in their play space. T he play area will be built through a concerted effort of parents, staff, Playground by the same designers at Windemere Elementary School. tools and other equie,ment. plus an enormous amount of fund-raising and planning effort on the part of those involved . students, and a host of others. On construction weekend. a group will descend on the area and put the pieces together, he said. This assumes that enough help shows up. More voJunrecrs a~ welcome. "Th is i not one of the b1ggest creative play areas we've built . but it has been one of the more difficult ones." Bayles added . M . Attempting to co nstruct a communtty· built playground on State-owned land is tricky ," he said. first because pe op le perceive it as not available to the communit y at large. and second because the perception outside the Unive rsity is th at UB has plenty of money, so they should be able to foo t the bill . · "'We've met with greater success than I would 've guessed" on that score. Bayles said . . . That's partly because the Umvem ty did pick up some of the expense. The new play space would cost nearly $75,000 if it were built by an outSide firm , acco rding to Chris Bogan, administrative assistant at the ECRC. Instead the total cost will be approximately s'2o,ooo, which is the cost. of materials plus the architect's consultmg costs. The difference is made up by the free labor of parents, students, and staff, donations of money and loans of Those efforts have included candybar sa les. a bake sa le. a buy-a-board campaign (big boards cost S8. little ones S3), and the collection of cash regISter receipts and returnable cans and bouJes ar the cent er. II this has raised a co ns iderable amount of support for the project. The center is still approx imately S4.000 A short of its goal, however. Acco rding to Hoot, that may mean. regrettabl y. cutbacks in the design of the pia) area. Volunteer!t are welcome. 3.!t are donations. Bogan noted . Those with warm bodies and or too ls may contact Rosemary Van Domclcn. project volun- teer coordinator. at 838-5626. or the center direct!y at 15 Baldy Hall. 636-2379. Cutbacks would mean settling for a second-rate structure and the original rationale fo r the old play area, Hoot said. Why the upgraded space? The previous playground was dangerous , wi th an asphalt surface and large, cumbersome chunks of precariously stacked wood .

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

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

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

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

"Without exception, all those we apprehended for theft were non-students. All were high school youths f~om the City of Buffalo, Wttb the excepuon of a group of young adults fro!" Rochester." Director of Athletics Nelson Townsenp said "we have to malr.e the building secure." At the same time, Town· send hopes area youth and community groups can occasiOnally use the building, in the form of "organized and supervised" activities. There are no 0 concrete plans as yet, be said. �Even after a person has been at UB for several months, or even years, there are bound to be things about the place that remain puzzling. In fact, the confusion may increase as the years go by. At the very beginning, the major puzzlement involves geHing lost. Students who have classes in Clemens show up at Clement. Visitors enter the EllicoH Complex and come out days later, disoriented and incoherent. After people learn their way around, puzzlements of a more subtle nature remain. Many report that they are embarrassed to ask questions about things that seem to be obvious to everyone else. To help diminish this problem, the Reporter offers answers to the ten _j questions most commonly asked by newcomers to UB. II What does "provost" mean? ,-. -.., Freshme n arc especially confused by this one. The idea of a dean is difficult eno ugh. but at least people have seen a dean o r two in films like Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds , and Bock to School. None of these movies featured a provost. Not only do we have a provost, there's an associate provost, an assistant provost, assistants to the provost, vice provosts, associate vice provosts, and assistant vice provosts. The list grows, changes, and goes on and on. So what does it mean? You tell us. Is a provost: A) the chief dignitary of a cathedral chapter? B) the chief magistrate of a Scottish burgh? · C) the keeper of a prison? D) a high-ranking university administrative officer? Actually all four choices are correct definitions of tbe word. In the case of UB, we would like to suggest "D" as tbe most appropriate. • .t .. r.1 1 ••,.. • • ,. , ·, • fl What is signage?

Actually, just as you would expeet, this is where the water for all the campus drinking fountains is chilled. At night, cold water is obtained by melting snow brought down from the Adirondacks. This water is then bottled and carried by pony can to the various buildings around campus. Kidding aside, the Chilled Water Plant is an immense operation that oversees various aspectS of the physical plant including air-<:~c1rtioning, plumbing, and the natatt>ri um.

If you've made a mistake, you then have to get back on the elevator, $0 down to the first floor, go mto the other part of the building, and back on the other elevator. lsn' that easy? Perhaps this situation could be improved with beller signage. II Have you ever noticed that no two ) clocks in Cary tell the same time and that half of them aren' even working - and haven' been for a couple of years? No explanation was available at press time. II What does "proactive" mean? Oh yes. This one is very important. Perhaps it's confusing because proactive used to be an educational term meaning interference between old learning and new learning. Not any more. According to legend, before the 1980s people never thought ahead. We were reactive - responding to events after they happened and just trying to make the best of it. Then •somebody came up with the clever idea of anticipating events and preparing for inevitability and contingency through prior needs assessment, prioritizing, feasibility studies, and lots of interfacing among the concerned parties. This is being proacti~, and it's guaranteed to . optimize your chances of facilitating the eventuation of a copacetic scenario. What is a natatorium? Accon:ling to informational signage, there's a Dll8torium 'kept in the Alumru Aii:na. Many have gone in to the .creature only to find a swtmmmg pool. Actually, as disappointing as it may seem, t~at swimming pool is the natatonum. If you say it in Latin it becomes much (ancier. . Th~ natatorium is very !lear the wrecuonal signage for the egress. As =. What is a "kiva" and why do we have a special room for it? A lc.iva is a Pueblo Indian ceremonial structure that .is characteristically round and partly tlnderground. So's the room in Baldy by tbe same name. lf you don' believe us, look it up. 0 �March 10, 1988 Volume 19, No. 20 10:30 Lm.

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

" But in the long run it should save a bundle." The facility saves !be University money on more than just thermostats. Almost no work is contracted out. Fixing things on campus allows the work to be done faster and more cheaply, explained Halstead. In addition to !be vandalism problem, Halstead lamented !bat people are not safety-conscious. "There are m volts in a beater," he warned. "People will sticlt a screwdriver down in there - they don't lcnow what they're monkeying around witb. I've seen a screwdriver burned off in one of !bose. "A light has 277 volts running through it !1f<1 if the box happens to have two circuits, that's 480 volts. That will charbroil you real fast." be Chilled Water Plant itself has an T outstanding safety teeOrd. · lmoughout the tbere are ~uilding railings; and potentially dangerous equipment is chained down. The building is isolated from the rest of the campus. U somebody wants a doughnut, he has to wait for !be coffee truck. The shuttle bus doesn't go tbere. It bas its own locker room, complete with showen. The solitude has made the staff a community of its own. Or perhaps it would be better to call it a distinct neighborhood in the University community. H~tead takes pnde in the camaraderie and in tbe abilitt of the team. "I try to create a friendly · atmosphere," he said. "We try to "be lilr.e a family." A tour of !be plant reveals that it's much llirF !ban it appears from the road. Ins1de everything is built for function, and is immaculate. Halstead apologized for a little mud on the floor of the room !bat houses the enolll!OUS 4000 _hora;ejiOwc;r,: 13,890 voJ.t chillers. . He poinle4 .10 a ~ tbe<aize of a house. ~we've been •.~ tbele.

"U somebody doesn't show up for the next shift, a guy could be dead tired, but he's got o keep working."

VA hospital reaches out to women veterans T q try to get more women veterans to we: the Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. the hospital wiU hold a health fait from 9 LDL to I p.m. Saturday, March 12, in Room 301 oft~ ho~ital . Female veterans we the hospital at a lower rate than male veterans do, said Joan SuleW~ki, M .D .. associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UB and gynecology section chief of \Urgtry at the Buffalo VA MedicaJ Center. Tht' wo~n may not rea.J.iz.t that the VA offers !Oervicts for them, said Sulewski. who is developing a new women's health care program at the hospital. The program includes the latest equipment and techmquc:s, she said. There is laser surgery: mammography, an examination of the: breast: ultrasound, which can pick up abnormalities in the uterus and other organs, and a densitometer. .,.,hich can asKss bones for osteoporosis. The hospital will also offer infenility services. Sulewski noted. Legislation passed in December linally allows not just the veteran, but 1M . veteran's spouse, to be tested for infcnility at the VA. (The fertility evaluation isn' complete without t he wife's evaluation, she explained .) Any veteran can get treatment at the VA Medical Center. she said. And it's inexpensive. For instance, it costs S2S for outpatient services, no matter how many tats the patient receives that day.

As its name implies, mail an is in essence a postal art gallery, staffed by a world-wide network of artists who circulate th eir works. tho ughts, ideas. and social co mmentaries through th e mail. Its roots arc in the post-World War I Dadaist moveme nt , which utilized form. word. and shock val ue to im part its message. Usi ng the printed word in a varie ty of media, these artists chose humor. parody, and outright no nsense as a means of criticizing bourgeois attitudes, war, and the negative aspects of lcchnological profiteering. Likewise, mail art, which began lo develop as a form of expression in the late '50s and early "!iOs. carries on th is genre of visual metapho r, provid ing social comment by taking a traditional veh icle - co rrespondence - and looking at it from a different point of view. chalski became involved in the rt network as a st udent at U B a visiting professor of sculpture introduced him to the medium. ·· 1 just sort of started writing to peo- ple and il took off from there," he said .

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

Manens , associate vice president for computing and information technolog y, told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week. · Last summer, UB became pan of a "regional high-speed" network that gives it access to six supercomputer facilities across the country. Supercomputers can process data at a rate of hundreds of millions of calculations per second, comp3fed with dozens of millions for the next range of machines. Not surprisingly, they are the fastest available general-purpose scientific computers. The power of these supercomputers "will likely grow one hundred-fold in the next three years, .. said Martens. " They are just phenomenal. " The supercomputers have become so impor~ tant to UB that Manens has assigned two staff members to their coordination. They are Geraldine Sonoesso and Dr. Jay A. Leavitt, formerly the director of academic computing. There are UB researchers, he said, "who are very sophisticated users of the supercomputer. There are some whose livelihood depends on the supercomputer." The University also has about 55 devices are Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, and ComP.uler Science. Manens also descnbed the University's networking service, which currently suppons an electronic mail system . He said the Computing Center hoj>es to put the University phone book in a data base that all could access. He hopes this will take place next year. Through the network, he continued , faculty and administrators can now transmit files from a microcomputer to a larger computer, and vice versa. eanwhile, miol <lCOmputing itself "is growing by leaps and bounds." There are now about 2800 microcomputers on campus that the ·university owns. As a general goal, Manens said, the University hopes to have a terminal in every faculty member's office within the next two years. Many depanmeots are now completely outfitted. These include Management, Engineering, and Computer Science. As for the other depanments, the range is anywhere "from ten to 70 per cent." The IBM system and the VAX cluster are ""in good shape." However, :? annual adjustments are needed to keep ~ up with the expanded software avail- ~ able. It is Martens' view that ""the same ~"> type and quality of software should be ~ available on both (VAX and IBM) systems." Manens also said the Computing M higher performance microcompurers in Cenler .. is supporting a limited number use. "These are fantastic devices, marvels of technology," Mancos said. They can process I0 million instructions per second and are panicularly useful in computer-aided design, desktop publishing, and other "graphically intense" activities. Among the depanments making use of ~hese "amazmgly powerful" of software packages ," thereby saving the University money by avoiding unnecessary prolife ration. The center also has a purchasing checkpoint so that faculty and administrators don' buy "oddball" equipment "that we can' suppon." Martens said the center is searching for a new director of academic computing. "We hope to have some kind of resolution by the end of March." Finally, Manens reported that the Computing Center bas a new FAX machine that f~ty and administrators may use by calling 636-3081. 0 By FRANK BAKER omputers. They're everywhere.

In shon , computers are a part of all C our lives. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here to stay. So, if we're all forced to interact with the confounded machines. why not make it the most pleasa nt experience that it can be? That's exactly what Martin Helander, an associate professor of indust rial engineering at UB. th ought when he became chairman of the United States Technical Advisory Group to the International Standards Organization (lSO). B esides having a mouthful of a title, Helander's position is one in which he, and colleagues from across the country, can come up with standardizations for any of a number of things. Included in that generic term "things" is a design for the computer workplace that is most beneficial to the employee. According to Helander, his group's study is the first in which "human factor eogineerio!!" - his specialty - has been t'lkeo mto consideration with • regard to computers ·o the workplace. Thd means his panel looked at what factors made a computer work area the most uncomfortable for employees and least productive for management and zeroed in on ways to make things better for both groups. They did so by compiling data on computer workplaces that they received from hundreds of different companies from across the nation. What they found was so interesting that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has adapted the group's policy .as a guideline that may be vol~ntanly followed by any state in the uruon. W Among other things - enough to fill. a 100 page repon - Helander's hat were the group's revelations? gtoup looked at different designs forchairs to belp posture, at image quality for various video display terminals (the dreaded von. at bow much noise in the office is. conducive to good produc.tivity, and at ~ow keyboards can be designed to limit errora. · ~The study is very detailed and took four yean to compile," said Helander. "We studied many things" among which was bow "VDT image quality affects productivity." For instance, whether or not the screen is easy to read will either enhance or deerease productivity for the worker. "Studies have shown that productivity is bun by a poor screen quality," noted Helander. grol!i"- also studied the use of T color d!Jplay on . tenoi'!als and came up With some toteresuog coobe elusions . For example, Helander said comput- l)B is linked to Cornell University's computer center and to five other superconductors throughout the nation through two networks. er companies should not make software that uses blue characters on a dark background because that color doesn' show up well. He also discovered that graphics can be greatly emphasized by using different colors to illustrate specific points. However, there is a Jimit to tbe use of colors, he said. "Seven different colors are the most that should be used for a color display," said Helander. "More than seven and the points cannot be emphasized as well." These findio~s wii L now be sent to the ISO where It .will ~oted on to see if, indeed, the whole world should standardize · computer workplaces in lbe ways elander's group found were most agreeable. Besides helping the beleaguered worker who must sit in front of a VDT for eight hours a day, Helander's study can also prove beneficial to manufacturers. "Manufacturers will also be helped because they can look at the standards and say !bat their product fits the ANSI guidelines,~ said Helander. elander noted that his grolij), made up of 20 experts from across the H U.S .. works on many different areas of resear<:b and then sends its findings to the ISO in Geneva. · If the people in Geneva deem Helan!!er's current study to be the one which all countries should voluntarily follow, UB will have a small pan in making the world a better place for all office workers.

Nat ural radiation exposure in Denver, Colorado. is seven times greater than that in New York City, said Gale. The lowest dose of radiation con tamination at Chernobyl was equal to the natural dose in New York Citv. The worst evacuee at Chernotiyl received less radiation than Denver residents do in a lifetime, he explained. Gale also put mortalit y rates from nuclear accidents into a unique perspec-tive. The highest antici pated number of deaths from the Chernobyl acciden t is 25,000. This compares to 70,000 people who are expected to die from medical radiation and the 350,000 who will die from natural radiation exposure over the next 70 years. In the same period , one million fossil fuel industry employees are expected to die in the U.S.S.R. Some four million Soviets will die in automobile accidents. and 10 mi llion will die from smoking to bacco. he said . Gale said he was not trivializing nuclear accident deaths. Howe ver. he believes a comparison between nucl ear accident dea ths and common preventab le deaths from lung cancer and heart di sease gives •·a yardstick for j ud gment. " P cering into the fu ture. UB President Steven Sample had an opUm!Stlc prognosas: Buffalo has an edge ove r cities of co mparable size. Also, the University and other research insti tuti ons will have an important role in the city's future . Sample spoke last week at the Albright-Knox An Gallery as pan of ""Buffalo 2000: Visions of the Future." a lecture series sponsored by the gallery and the Friends of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design. F n a different note. Gale demonst rat ed th e stag gering heal t h impact of nuclear war. Today. one nuclear missile is equal to all the fi re power exchanged during Wo rld War II . said Gale. A limited exchange of nuclear a rm s would create 3.000 times the fi re power of both World War II atomic bombs th at killed 193.000 and injured I 55,000. A full exchange would be 18 million times as powerful. 0 A cartoon caption, -My docwr told :ne to cu t down on guns ... not butter," tllustrated Gale's key point: Physicians are the only ones _who fully understand th e health impact of nuclear war. He later told re poners that to be defenseless is not the sol ution . However, "we need fewer weapons:· Nuclear energy and nuclear arms are amo ng many complex technologies that do not have ..1..ero risk ," said Gale. His patients are proof of what medical scie nce can and cannot do in the wake of nuclear accident: • ·An 11-year-old Braz.ilian boy was exposed to radioactive cesium 137 after he played with a discarded radiotherapy machine in a razed clinic. Uneml'loyed townspeople stripped its protecuve lead encasement to sell for scrap metal. This yo ung patient is alive. But because he is highly radioactive, he is isolated from society. • In the same accident, another little girl w)lo died had to be entombed like a reactor. Her remains will be radioactive for 300 years, said Gale . • One of the 250 affected Brazilians received an experimental recombinant growth stimulating factor, granulocyte (GM-CSF). It -boosted bone marrow regeneration, and Gale's patient survived. He escaped infection and suffered no side effects from the innovative therapy. • This Christmas a Chemobyl victim sent Gale a family photo. The once pale, bald patient now sports a full head of hatr, looks robust , and has returned to a normal life. He signed the greeting, "Thanking Americans for their help." The human elements and statistical data of Gale's talk stunned more than one in the audience of 300. Commented Dr. K.hushi Matta, bio-organic chemist at Roswell Park: It tells you what " the reality of life is" in a tec hnological age. 0 allowing the ci ty's post-war decline. Sample said, "there bas been an almost explosive growth in the interactions between the academy and industry , especially in the last decade. " In this respect , th e U. S. differs from ma ny other nationr, w.rhere research is often centered in ilatio nal research institu tes, not necessarily connected with a ny universi1y. " Sample described various economic develo pment agencies or programs U 8 has started or is planning. These include the Western New York Technology Development Center on Main Street. The agency has spawned 20 new companies. most of them still q uite small . The University's goal. he said. is to bring about 100 new companies by the year 2000 as a result of the Main Street cente r and a new high fechnology incubator set to open in June on land near the Amherst Campus. In formi ng the Calspan-U B Research Ce nter (CUBRC). UB sought to "bring to_gether the resources of the Universit y wlfh !hose of our larges t private ~esearch . instit ute (Calspan). The idea tn formtng CU BRC is that we co uld win ce rtain kinds of grants for unclassified resea rch that neither partv could bring in on its own. CUBRC nOw does over S I million a year in business. I would think that it might grow to so mething like S4 to $5 million a yea r over th e next couple of years ... Also promising is the Health<are Instruments and De vices lr. :ni tut e ( HID! ). Commented Sam p ii:: '"The pu rp ose of HIDI is to develop Western New York as a center of technology in health care instruments and biomedical devices. HIDI is funded in part by the State as one of its nine centers of advanced technology. " In the case of HIDI , we get almost $3 million a year in private contracts to match the $1 million a year from the State. The interesting thing about HIDI is that it represents an avowed attempt by the State to bring abou t the closer marriage between academic research ce nters and private industry. That represe nts quite a reversal from past policies of the State government." ample also described the Cen ter for Indu strial Effec t iveness. a joint project with the Western New York Economic Development Corporation . "This is aimed at existing companies, particularly companies of lower technology ... which may fi nd themselves in shrinking markets or faced with increasi ngl y stiff competition. So far this center, with the help of the WNYEDC, can be fairly credited wi th saving several thousand JObs. " UB"s China Trade Ce nte r will also help the local economy, Sample maintained . " We operate very strong and extensive programs in the People's Republic of China. The School of Management said, let's see how we can ex ploit that relationship to benefit not only Western New York ind ustry, but also the State's industry in ge neral. "Through our programs in Beijing and Dalian. we can perhaps provide acce~s fo_r Am~rican ~om panies to key offictals tn Chma. Thts wilT help them develop programs or eve n estab hsh factories in the PRC." SamP.Ie also pointed to the " nearly S80 mtllion a year" in outside grants and contracts awarded to UB faculty. "The money is important to the economy. It creates both primary and secondary jobs . But I think this research money is even more important, because it attracts some of the best graduate students , researchers, and faculty members from a round the country to this area... He added: " In the area of ea nhquake engineering research, we're becoming t he world center. I thin k that over the years to 'come other countries will constantly be co ming to Buffalo, as they are now, to participate in th is research ce nter. Also, other companies from around the world wi ll want to have projects carried out here. We hope they eventually locate small research groups here. which might lead to spin-off industries of considerable employment." The Western New York Health Sciences Consortium, he said , "allows S us to achieve in our minds what geography has not dict ated already, wh ich is to thin k of that array of teaching hospitals and research hospitals with its attendant medical school, as though it were a medical center such as that in Cleveland , Pittsburgh. Indiana po lis, or Cincinnati." Sample a lso pointed to the State "s centers for superconductivity research and hazardous waste management , both located at UB; the Sidney B. Pfeifer Theatre ("an anchor piece in the theatre di strict'"), and the Fi ne A rts Center, sc heduled for complet io n in 1992. S ample said Buffalo has several points in its favor. These include the State's rich ness ("there is a lot of money in the public sector"); the waterfron t, skiing, housing ... a st rong cultu ~ raJ infrastruct ure," Niagara Falls. the prese nce of hydro-electric power. clean air, and proximity to Canada. The Canadiarf connection may be our biggest selling point, he insisted . "Canada and the U.S. have the biggest bilateral trading relationship that's ever existed between two nations. We're not the southern anchor but we have the poten tial to be." He co nt inued: " We have good transponatton and by far the best inner city school system compared with those of any other city in the United States. Also. most cities our size don't have a researc~ university. In addition, R oswell Park Memorial Institute has the potential for becoming the premier center for its field. These institutions attract some of the brightest a nd most ambitious young people from around the country and around the world. .. How do we fit .c.hese advantages together? We're doing some th1ngs right. These include the Empire State Games, the improvement in the Buffa lo Philharmonic's financial picture, the Eanhqu ake Center, Winterfest and th e supercond uctivity center.

There are no si mple answers that will make it possible for Buffalo to reasse rt itself nationall y ... " I th in k we have to move ahead together.

The agreement reaffirms the institutions' 'shared educational and research missions and outlines a space-reimbursement plan that is expected to increase the hospital's income by approximately $750,000 in 1988. Among those present at the ceremony were President Steven Sample; George McCoy, chief executive officer of ECM C; Erie County Executive Dennis Gorski; John •P.

The agreement, which updates an affiliation agreement signed by the two institutions j n 1962, funher defines the role of the University in relation to the hospital. Specifically, ·it brings the relationship betwe~n ECMC, the UniverSity and the School of Medicine into line with those between the University and its other major teaching hospitals. Sample said the agreement "defines and reinforces our institauonal relationship with the Erie County Medical Center and generally defines the ground rules by which we pursue our shared goals. " ECMC is a major panicipant in our Medical School's research and educati~mal cictivities. The new agreement wtll . help lh~ school fulfill its ,!!Oals, pantcularly m the fields of medtcine, psychtatry, trauma, and rehabilitation medicine." Kevin I. Sullivan, chairman _of the • Executive Ed itor. ~~~~~~~::~~~ ECMC board of managers, indicated that he ts pleased with the agreement, whtch he said, "replaces one that is badly out of date." He noted that the ECMC board of managers was interested in developing a more closely defined working rela· uonshtp between the Medical Center and the University. The new alftlialion agreement, e said, "more accurately reflects our current relationship and designates the Medical Center as a major academic center for reimbursement purposes beginning Jan. 1. 1988." Erie County Executive Dennis Gorski noted that under the terms of the uj>daled agreem~nt, the ho~pital will tdentify space used by the University exclustVely for research and teaching activi!ies and UB will reimbu~e the hospital for each use. "We expect," he said, "that in 1988 alone.

Weibel, particularly if he accepts any job offers here, risks losing his girl· friend in Switzerland, "the best woman I could ever know." Presumably the sacrifice is offset in part by the career opponunity. and by the chance to be involved in the Geo· graphy Depanment at a panicularly language. Csillag sees the limited access to high tech in Hungary as both an advantage and a disadvantage. excumg ume . UB's Center for Geographic lnforma· tion and Analysis has recently applied for a National Science Foundation grant of $6,245.000 in cooperation with the University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Maine. "For Geography, this would almost be the equivalent of the National Earthquake Center," noted McConnell. "Our ability to attract the best people is just another indication to NSF of the strength of our program." erko Csillag is from Budapest, Hungary's capital city. The city rests on the Danube, and has a popula· Lion of over two million people. "Almost any Hungarian you'd meet in the United States probably carne from Budapest," exflained Csillag, "because one fifth o the populaiion lives in the capital city." Csillag repons that he did not al~ays plan to be a geographer. As a umver· sity student he, bad completed four semesltrs in English literature before he decided to round himself out with some hard science. He took some math and some physics, one thing led to another, and be never looked back. His early interest in the English lan· guage explains his fondness for American slang.

C sillag is teaching two courses here. The first is in remote sensing, which he describes as "the means by which you collect information about an environment by means of electromagnetic radiation - that's a narrow definition Are we looking at high tech Hungary?

R obert Weibel charges down the hall. "Sorry I'm late," he says. He's only one minute late. He wears a Swiss wrist-SM·aich. and his fingerlips are blue and red.

Like Csillag, Weibel comes to geography by way of the humanities. Originally he'd planned to study history and German literature. "It seems as if everyone in geography comes from some other field," · Wetbel observed . "They come from civil engineering, or from anywhere." That's because geo_Braphy is not taught in high schools, and people don' really know what it is, he said. Weibel grew up in Hallau, a small Swiss town near the Rhine Falls. "The Rhine Falls ar<: kind of like the Niagara of Europe," Weibel explained in term s an American can understand . Weibel has tr•velled in the Uni ted States. but has ne ver seen Yellowstone, or New York City, or even Disneyland. Instead, he bought one of those Delta unlimited night tickets available only in Europe and toured geography depanments and organizations. A t UB he is teaching a class in geo- graphic information systems (G IS), one of geography's current hot topics. GIS involves maps in computers. Csillag would be quick to add that it's not just number crunching. Usually a software system is used to map spatial data on anything from the number of televisions in an area, to population - . anything that can be attributed to a geometric shape. Weibel explained . Data is put into digital form. which makes it possible to analyze it and then to determine things like the suitability of land for road construction, or the best location for a nature preserve. We ibel shows one example, a map showing the accessibility of areas to public transponation. It looks like a colorful scene from a video game . Another example looks photographic. The effect is impressive. Does Weibel like to have his work mistaken for a photograp..,.-"1 would be even more proud if 1 could draw it by hand ." Weibel is a man with an apparent sensitive nature. He is at the forefront of t<:<hnological advances in geography, but ts not one to vtew htgh tech uncrit- ically. He's not completely comfortable for instance, with terms like ... natural resource, .. when discussing the use of GIS in land conservation. "That's really a technocratic approach," he said. · "With computers we get maqy more opt!ons, much greater flexibility,"' said Wetbel, "but you don' get the artistic aspect. That is what I am particularly working on. 1 would like to see a com. puter program produce what a canographer does intuitively." __ Weibel also cautions that no mauer ho~ attractive a map may be? it is not realtty. Even a map that looks like a Polaroid picture can be based on error. 0 �March 3, 1988 Volume 19, No. 19 She's come a long way from the Mississippi Delta By PATRICIA DONOVAN he world of " From the Mississippi Delta" is one of cruelty and charm, ribald humor, and a sassy rejection of Southern wo rking-caste mores.

She was in her teens then, a member of what was considered "the worst family in town .... As a child she never knew of any accomrlis hments by black people. The star o her uni verse was Miss Candy Quick who danced at the local fair. Holland remembe rs that -"her pictu re was on the tents, in color a nd bigger than life, and the men would chant her name. To me she was so great. ... When civil rights workers descended upon Greenwood in the early '60s, they seemed to yo ung Ida Mae to have come from another dimension.

Twenty yea rs lapsed between th e time she began her academic work at the uni versi ty and the day in 1985 when she received her Ph.D . By that time, her presence had been felt throughout the Twin Cities area in everything from social services to theatre arts. Her doctoral dissertation had con· sisted in part of an autobiographical play in dialect. In a series of onewoman shows and lecture-performances, she began to tell the story of Greenwood and its people to audiences throughout the m1dwest. •. Along the way she founded the Lor.raine Hansberry Writers' Workshop and saw Women Helping Offenders .become ·a national organization.

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

The photos give a glimpse of the Larlcin Company during its paternal-istic heyday. Writes Quinan: ~Pic­ nics, weekly concerts, educational incentives , and profit-sharing schemes were some of the benefits that made the Larkin Company, in the words of a former secretary, 'a class place to work in Buffalo . . . . They took care of you.' ~ A 1903 in-bouse publication tells of a glee club, a bowling club, YWCA membership and rewards for helpful tips on improving productivity. The magazine also bad self-improvement articles, inspira- tional message s and company news. Capitals of piers surrounding the light court at fifth level. The dining facilities served as many as 2,000 people in shifts of up to 600 during the lunch hour. Writes Quinan: ~wright designed eight-person dining tables with swivel tops that converted into benches for meetings; more than a . thousand people could be seated. The dining spaces opened into tbe main ball and seem to have shared the spirit of f&milial unity.~ In an elTon to understand the building's many functions, Quinan began to interview members of the LarlciJ! family as weU as former employees. ~I also began to scrutinize the eri~ and scholarly literao tell the story of Frank Uoyd Wnght's ture on the Larkin Administration Building, which, to my surprise, now vanished Larkin building, Jack Quinan rarely ventured . beyond summary became a hard-nosed appreciations of its bold forms and detective and sensitive progressive mechanical equipmenL ~ biographer.

He also tallr.ed with Evelyn Heath Jacobsen of Buffalo, who is the daughter of William Heath, the office manager and later vice president of the Larkin Company. Mrs. Jacobsen had grown up in a bouse designed by WrighL She also remembered the famous architect's visits dwin& periods of his bitter personal problems. She worked in the Larkin Administration Building for about a year. Mrs. Jacobsen, said Quinao, was not big on Wright's personal style. Even so, she expressed wonder at the contoun of the buil~Witb its famous •kylit court. -sbe (Mn:. Jacobsen) never understood bow so many people could be working in the space. She is very articulate and was my best find." Other wttoesses recalled the quiet bum as some I ,SOO persons worked in the huge open space. Writes Quinao: "Floors, desk-tops, and cabinet-tops were covered with magnesite for sound absorption .... For the floors magnesite was mixed with excelsior and poured over a layer of felt to impart resiliency." Another former employee, Mary Burke, bad been a sea-etary at the company in 1916. "She tiJ,Iped me off to the company's Oll!:aruzational system." In 1903, the company was receiving S,OOO lettcn in six separate deliveries daily ineluding Saturdays. Mail was sorted into "state groups," a system the company had devised in the 1890s. 1be book's ftnal chapter centers on events leading to the 19SO demolition. The company had been losing money steadily since the 1920s and 1930s, when Buffalo began to decline as a Great Lakes port and railroad center. These were also hard times for mail-order catalog companies. In I 939, the Larkin Company, in order to avoid hankruntcv. formed new corooratioos and sold off properties to pay off its debts. In l94S, the City of Buffalo took over the building in a $104,616 tax foreclosure proceeding. This was followed bf a brief but spirited - campaJgn ,to save the building. 1be effort failed, and the building continued to decay. According to one newspaper account, "everything. removable has been stripped by vandals. Lighting fixtures, door knobs, -plumbing, and ·even part of the copper roof have been tom away systematically by thieves." Still, Qv.inan reports, there ~ offen to buy the building. But lheae ......, turned down beeauae the -.eel value of the property -llliiCb biaber than the amounts beiDa teQdered.. In a last-ditch effort, Council- man Joseph F. Dudzick proposed that the building be used in the city's program of civic improvements. He wrote: "1be Building could be altered to house a baskethall and tennis court, gymnasium equipment, and facilities for var- · ious other types of recreation.... " 1be resolution was defeated. Meanwhile the &iffGJO Evming Nno~s decried the pending demolition in an editorial entitled "A Sliame of Our•City." The paper recalled another sugestion that had failed. This would have converted the building into the "Buffalo Conservatory of Music." Because of the unusual nature of WrigbCs constructi011 , , uinan writes, the wrecking company of Morris & Reimann had to dismantle the building almost by hand. In l9SO, Wright was 83. According to Quinan, when the architect learned of the demolition, "he reportedly said that the building had ser.-ed its purpose and deserved a decent burial. He had long been aware of the unfortunate alterations to whicb bis building ' had been sub~.· In Quinan's view, Wright bad the last word. "He could take solace in the fact that bis building occupied a special 2,lace in that more enduring reaJJb he cbott to call 'the th~t of the world.' " Quinan's lwldsomcly illllltrated boot bas sold out its fust printing. 0 View of • light court from second floor balcony. �1- lll8rch 3,19, No. 19 Volume Women's Studtes Prognm and SA Women's Affairs in honor of International Women's Day.

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

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

I don't lead an inactive life. I'm busy all the time, but it's not the kind of activity that gets your heart pumping - it's more the kind that starts your stomach churning. So when our new go-getter associate editor decided I might be able to give people a better idea of what to expect from the Health· Related Fitness Initiative if I'd undergo fitness assessment myself. I had mixed feelings . First of all, I W3.'o hesitant because I didn) really know what to expect. Our photographer predicted that they'd be connecting all kinds of wires to my body. They didn't. I thought they'd work me until I dropped. They didn) do that, either. Actually, the fitness assessment was interesting, and even kind of fun. I ..

Baker and his staff of three T he evaluation is divided into th ree parts. Fim, Jack Baker, director of the program, asked me questions about my health and life-style. "Have you ever been told you have high blood pressure?" "Do you smoke?" "How often do you eat red meat?" "How much stress are you under on a daily basis?" "How much exercise do you get?" He also had me sign a consent forrn . I \\'as given time to read the forrn, and Baker explained it. Throughout the evaluation, Baker was patient, and answered all my questions. He even joked. "Do you get much exercise? I know, you push the elevator buttons every chance you get," he quipped . I was interested that Baker considered an activity like walking my dog to be significant physical activity. Jack Baker measures skin- fold on Tony Chase's arm. interns never made me feel awkward, or as if I were a laboratory animal. The women left the room while Baker measured skinfolds on my arms, back, and stomach, to determine percentage of body fat. . The staff was panicularly ·encouraging durmg the last pan of the evaluation. t this point, I was required to cycle for • nine minutes while the staff recorded heart rate and blood pressure at regular intervals. The resistance was increased depending on these readings. Although the exercise was strenuous, I was not taxed to the limit. Baker called it "submaximal"' exercise. . Finally, I was tested for nexibility with the Sit-and-reach test. Sitting on the noor with my feet nush against a small step, I stretched my arms out toward my feet as given three tnes - only the best of the three counted. After the evaluation was over, Baker discussed the results with me. Had the assessment revealed an unknown medical problem I would have been referred to the medical director, and then to my family phyS1c1an. . As I anticipated, Baker told me I would benefit from "to use the jargon~" as Baker would sa~, an aerobic program of walking and then JOggmg. I was fine in areas of body fat, nexibility, , and at-rest heart function. However as is characteristic. of a sedentary person: I would benefit from mcreased exercise. I. left the evaluation with a better understanding of physical fitness and with a more positive attituiie toward ex~rcise. The Health-Related Fitness Initiative is open to all faculty and staff.

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

It will ~pen up opport un ities for exchange with the Chinese medical system, he said. The UB group can find out what 's going on in China and what health-care problems the Chi ne se experience. It will also allow the Chinese to spend time \\lith UB scientists and allow them to become competitive with our medical system, Naughton noted. T M "Entering into the agreement will be UB, Buffalo General and the Capital Institute of Medicine, Beijing." he Chinese really have two-medical T systems, he explained: their own cultural system, of which acupuncture is a part, and a Western system~ Their Western system ... has a way to go to catch up with Wo;_stem medicine," Naughton srud . "Theirs is much more limited - during the Cultural Revolution , there was no real progress.... China is a relatively poor country. It has to. serve a billion people and doesn' have the tech nology we have, he added. The exchange agreement is imponant because of the increasing ties between Jhe two countries, Naughton pointed out.

Bernadette Braun. 21, of Richmond· ville, N.Y., was pronounced dead on arrival at Erie County Medical Center. Braun had attended UB for three and a half yea rs before transferring to D'Youville College at the beginning of the semester to pursue her bachelor's . . . and master's degrees in physical therapy. She had planned to graduate in 1991. Norma Shatz, librarian at the University Learning Center, remembers Braun, who worked for her as a student assistant a few years ago. "She was a ve.ry capable and competent person," Shatz recalled. "She was not a frivolous person. This was a gal who had worked hard, and who took her studies seriously. We enjoyed her ~e'::foaJ{. o?:Jr .•much. I have fond 1:! ~ g g ·0 ~ Braun's t oommate, Stacey Langer, 21, a founh year architecture and design studies student at U B, suffered a broken left leg and bruises. She was listed in serious condition when admit- led to ECMC on Saturday. By Monday her condition had been upgraded to fair. Langer plans to graduale in May. 1989. A third housemate, Joan Strancey, was not injured . Apparently the women walked into the path of an oncoming car, reponed Lt. Dubiel of the Buffalo Police Department Accident Investigation Bureau. he driver, Michael Smith, 19, of T 327 Westmoreland Road in Amherst, was charged with three minor traffic "T. violations: failure to wear a seat belt, a corrective lens violation, and a license violation. Dubiel was not immediately able to determine the precise nature of the license v.iolation because of an apparent typographical error on the report . However, he suggested that Smith might not have been able to produce his license at the scene. Smith was tested for blood alcohol content, but no charges were filed on that count. Dubiel stated that no further charges would be leveled against the driver, unless the district attorney decides that an investigation is warranted . Information would then be passed on to a grand jury. Such a scenario is unlikely, he said. In December 1986 a similar accident left a UB studeqt with permanent brain injury. That accident also happened on a rainy night when the student tried to beat the traffic, that time in front of the University Plaza. S uch tragedies prompt discussion on campus. Among students, stories of near misses and minor bumps while crossing traffic on Main Street and Bailey Avenue abound. "Just this fall I saw a girl get hil by a car outside Third Base," reported a senior humanities major. "She just went nying - we thought she was killed. That's a bad area if it's snowy or rainy - and all the drivers are speeding up to try to beat lights." " People just wander into the stree1 as if traffic doesn't exist," another senior Mated ... It's as if there were a direct pipeline between the parking lot at Ponderosa, and the beer at Mickey Rats." (Police had no evidence that the women involved in Saturd ay's accident had been drinking.) "I know I've taken some preuy stupid chances," admitted another student. "People are generally impatient, I think. They hate waiting. The traffic lights aren't well synchronized, so sometimes people just race across with cars coming in both directions." Some students, following the safety in numbers theory, report that they are more likely to take a risk while in a group . ... don't know, sometimes it seems like fun (racing across the street with friends) - you don' even think about the danger," said one student. " I know "A person hit by a car could be killed even if the car is traveling at less than 10 miles per hour . . . . You just don 't think it can happen to you. " k1lled b1• cars, but that close calls and minor serapes probably go unreported . In such tncidents, he continued, the law tends 10 favor the driver.

On the other band, motorists should be aware that in the rain pedestrians with umbrellas have impaired visibility. fast lhat they'd never be able to slop if they had to," said one student. Delective George Dougherty of the Accident Investigation Bureau stated t~at very few pedestrians are actually traffic;., and crossing a street on a diagonal lS forbidden unless the street is o1herwise marked .

"So metimes packs of kids cross injury. "You could fall where you are standing and kill yourself," he said. In most accidents involving pedestri- 10 together anywhere there's a street even if there's no signal," he said. "I've also seen people get halfway across and then stand waiting on the double yellow line in the middle of the street." Given the road design and heavy traffic around the campus, neither of these would seem to be a wise practice . "(Drivers) race up Main Street and pass on the left or on the shoulder in order to be first at the ri~ht band turn onto the Bailey access road. They go so ans there is primary impact in which injuries like broken limbs ordinarily occur. "Then there are what are termed secondary injuries in which a person's head strikes the ground or a hard spot on the vehicle after impact.

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

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

After first thanking everyone who made it possible for him to speak here, Gregory launched int<Wl tirade against the CIA, who, he says, is the reason Jimmy Swaggan fell from grace.

"Right here on the front page is a story about good old Jimmy. "You know what it says?" he asked. .. It says here that Jimmy Swaggart said 'God bless Daniel Onega.' " Swaggan wasn' brought down by his sexual liaison with a prostitute, said Gregory; it was because of his connections with Nicaragua. Gregory then moved right into an auack against the media. "The press in this country is not a free one," be said. "Who owns NBC? General Electric does. Who's the number one defense supplier to the U.S. government? GE is. "The media is owned by those in P.OWer," insisted Gregory. "Money is n' Power, information is. You've got to use yo ur God-given intelligence to figure out what goes down. Don' he fooled so easily." fter that tirade, Gregory spoke about the dangers of the C IA . "When they (CIA) can take him (fo rmer CIA head William Casey) out of his car and cut his head open to get the secrets out about Contra-aid , none of us is safe," said Gregory. "Casey died the day the Contra-aid debate staned. · "Doesn' that bother you?'' he asked. "You've got to stan listening," he continued. ''There are two governments here. The one you know about. and the one not too many folks know about. "Did you know that four weeks ago the CIA admitted that the Russians knew they had made a mistake when they shot down (Korean Airliner) 007? "Did you know Dick Nixon was on that plane when it took off from Kennedy Airpon and that they (CIA) got him off in Anchorage? "They didn't take Congressman McDonald off the plane because they wanted to kill him." Gregory added that with a name like 007, how could the plane be safe? Once he finished with the C IA , Gregory took issue with the U.S. inva- A ~ 0 2 < sion of Grenada. "We invaded an island that doesn' even have Girl Scouts," said Gregory. "And it still took us two weeks of fighting to get it. "Did you know that we bombed a mental institution and killed 117 people? We were doing the same type of mind testing there as the Nazis did." insisted Gregory. Next on the Gregory hit list was the United States' system of higher education. ..This is a white racist institution, .. Gregory told the predominantly black audience. "As long as you black folks sit here in this institution, something's wrong. ..The highest suicide rate in the country is among blacks who were educated at white institutions," said Gregory. "Doesn' that bother you?" he asked.

This is another in a series of debafes-in-print on the controversial issue of the ethics of Bllima/ experimentation, prepared by Philosophy undergrad Gary Ketcham and Dr. BOfl'!i Albini, professor of Microbiology. These~· as was the case m the init1at exchange between the two, are reasoned, delibef4te arguments of opposing vievtlpciints lhal move away from the shrill and the confrontational. Ethical aspects of "animal research ... and involvement of animals in teaching of biology, medicine, and psychology caught the attention of t!te general public me years ago: many of the issues and solutions proposed _ however, remain controversial and are far from being settled. Unknown areas of yet unexplored continen~s on old maps used to be covered w1th represe ntations of fabulous beings; thus it is not surprising that in the current discussion on our topic, monsters lurking menacingly behind the thick foliage of a jungle of emotions and vested interests roam through th e picture. Introduced by Dr. R ichard Hull. Mr. Gary Ketcham and I had ven tured last May into this sometimes frig htful landscape . It seems to me that education is the increasing recogn ition of our ignorance. Such a conclusion must be frustrating to those who always know what the right decision to make is - possibly even without knowing about what they are making the decision . With my weak and limited abilities to understand and to convince myself that I am in possession of absolute truths, I am happy when able to formulate meaningful questi ons and to pursue answers laboriously. possibly not as concerned for expediency as for honesty. This is why I feel encouraged to continue this joint exploration. In his essay published in May 1987. in the Reponer, Mr. Ketcham pomts out that we indeed know that a dog can experience pain and that we should not be bothered by our lack of understanding of how pain and suffering in animals compares to those in humans. He points out that our experience suggests that a dog yelping after being. hit has pain as we do, and that the leg1t1· mate and overruling response is that of compassion an~ prever:tion o.f this pain. Compasston obvtausly ts a noble and essentially human experience. However, I see some problems with letting compassion, as an emotiOn, rule supreme. Experience and observation have to be scrutinized using our reason; as known to everybody, experience can easily deceive us. A monkey can tum the pages of a book; he may seem to . read just like us. But we know that h1s use of the book is different from that of a literate human. This conclusion in which reason plays some role does not exclude analogies between human and monkey intelligence; but the reasoned conclusion based on the experience seems more reliable than the experience by itself. It seems obvious that it is advisable to know more about a d og's pain before making conclusions and decisions depend!n~ Qn such conclusi~f!S· When comm~tung ourselves to mmtmizc pain in sentient beings, we should better know as much as possible about pain and about sentience. Taking shortcuts may lead to the achievement of the opposite of our first tntenuon. A glaring example of a well-meant but unsuccessful attempt to affirm animal rights was the passmg of pound laws prohibiting the use of uncllum~ stray animals for research. Whereas m the past, several thousand. dogs - ou.t of 15 million "termmated each year m pounds - had been used in research, after passing of restnct1ve pound laws, several thousand dogs are bred every year specially for use in research.--: to perish in addition to the 15 mllhon collected in pounds. The net result thus is an increase of animals .. tenninated"' each year obtained in exchange for the purely e~otional satisfaction that "my" pet can never end up to research. hat is it that usually raises compassion? It seems that the emotions and thoughts that feed into compassion crystallize around three concepts: death , pain, and suffering. Pain usuall y is defined as a sensation that ph ysiologically alerts the organism of harm done and danger approaching: pain makes us retract the hand from hot water. By itself, it has positive val ue for survival but seems neutral in the context of ethics; and obviously it does provide a basis for much torture W "Few would suggest permitting a b'a by to die of pneumonia to prevent the mass murder ot millions of pneumococ ci.... " and distress. The latter, however, more properly belongs to suffering. Suffering can be described as anticipation and reflection of pain and death. It is char· acteriz.ed by anxiety, alarm, terror , insecurity, paralysis. On the other hand, suffering - but never causing suffering - has been viewed as possibly a benefit. Sometimes a cathartic effect is attributed to suffering. We may perceive the biblical story of Job to express such or similar notions, as do many of the initiation rites studied by anthropology. Very much simplified, pain may be considered as a reflex mechanism made conscious, and suffering as the inttgrated conscious experience of pain. Death, as the unavoidable companion of life (at least in the biological sense of life), is familiar to us all. Still, recent debates on death in relation to organ transplantation have underlined the problems inherent in its definition. It seems quite acceptable to consider death occuring without pain or suffering in the dyin!l: for e>;ample, death under anesthesia. Death obviously always means the termination of "biological" life, and inflicting death , the shortening of the life span. "Nature" seems to depe nd more or less on elaborateTood chains, on the predator-prey relationship, on life being destroyed for life's sake. Diminishing pain and suffering and prolonging life seem generally accepted as goals for ethical human conduct. Understanding "life" as subsuming all living forms immediately shows the problems in acceptin!l this statement as an absolute prescriptiOn. Even vegetar· ians depend on living organisms to feed upon; and we will have confrontational and competitive relationships with animals. A child may be attacked a nd mutilated b~og; rats infest houses and cities and transmit diseases poten· tially fatal to whole populations; and microbes infect human beings and k•ll them. Few would suggest permitting a baby to die of pneumonia to prevent the mass-murder of millions of pneumococci. Thus, again, we need some acceptable modus of grading life forms as to their .rights fo r exemption from pain, suffering, and death; and we can subscribe to the first sentence of this paragraph as the ideal for which we strive even though we know that we will never be able to RIIICh it "in his life."

In its autonomous vacu um it sifts and sons through the imperatives of compassion, selecting those th ings that compon comfortably with its own par?Chial designs. When compassion is stramed through the rationalistic sieve -ALBERT EINSTEIN Dr. Albini has asked : if compassion is not an emotion and is not an aspect of reason, what is it? In answer to this question I shall refer to a statement made by Supreme Coun Jus~~~~~~~IM tice Potter Stewan when he was con· I task of CSlaDIISnmg pornography. In case of v. Ohio his response was: "I can' tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it, and .t his is not it." Poets, pundits. possible to accept the death l oft .seems an animal that is associated with no or minimal pain, reasoning from- the ~natural" way of life of animals. If mdeed we primarily attempt to free ammals from ... unnaturaln intrusions in to their lives by humans, then we have to consider that animals in the wild usually have rather shon and usually violently terminated lives, and that many animals violently terminate other life. Thus, the intrusion of man into animals' lives in the framework of the use of animals in science does not seem appreciably to diminish animal life; on balance, it seems likely that the majorIty of animals used in science expenence less pain or suffering than ani!"als in tbe wild; it would indeed be of mterest to determine the average life spans of wild animals and of those used in research. The question of sentience in animals, or of the vari9us forms and degrees of sentience in various animal species, • See Pro, Page 13 . . and phtlosophers have, at bes1, managed only a hazy silhouette in trying to lay bare the nature of compassion. Although it is linguistically unapproachable and indeterminate, in the field of human experience it is neither of these. It is linguisticaJJy inaccessible precisely because it is not an aspect of reason. 11. is not an emotion precisely because it is not reasoned or self-centric. I believe Dr. Albini would agree with this statemen" that with the vast amount of scientific knowledge we have, it is quite often not capable of telling us what a "thing" is, but only how it behaves. Thus the predicament is not only a familiar one, but it is a functionally valid one as well. Let us see how it behaves. The question before us now is whether compas· sion should compon with tho dictates of rationality, or whether rationality should conform to the imperatives of compassion. when the two offer connicting accounts of how we should proceed. One "animal rights" position is that reason must be anchored in compassion, and further, that compassion is the steward of rationality when all is in situ (in its proper place). This is necessarily so because it is the only reliable, fixed reference point there is, just as navigation relies on the fixed reference point of a star. With this understanding, compassion establishes the parameters within which rationality is fJ;CC to operate. Animal experimentation tr3l!Sgresses these parameters because our understanding of compassion's preeminence is invened. This results in the truancy - ammal experimentation is a horrendous luted, highly inflected caricature of the pristine original. This we call ethics or morality. It represents compassion in its compromised, modified form . Remnants of the original. We have a copious menu of ethical/ moral schemes that represent the variegated degrees of compromise that compassion has been subjected to. The Nazi regime is an example of an utterly complete, total subordination of compassion to rationality, with no compromise whatsoever. The current U.S. mallei is what could be called a "selec- but necessary practice. It requires an anagogic cognizance. These are purloined benefits. Compassion does not lend itself to the ranking scheme of hierarchies of signification. It is all em bracing. Hungry children are hungry children wherever they may be, whosever they may be. Pain is pain regardless of who lS experiencing it. It does not cease to be pain just because it is someone •lse's. This is the equanimity of compassion. But we imp ugn the legitimacy of compass.1on by m1sc~ara~terizing it as an emotion, by labehng 11 as spurious, by suppressmg 11 as mferior, by a flimnam JUXtaposing of its preeminence, by mductmg II and subord inating•it to the tive acquiescence" ethical system in which compass ion's preeminence is ~omply in this manner, we are left with a di- A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in lime and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a t.Jnd of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. can be achieved by repugnant means. We would do well to remember this the next time we find ourselves saying that acknowledged on a "pick-and-<:hoose" basis. achiavelli is credited with popularM izing the idea that the end may justify the means if the end entails a significant benefit. We shall call this the "means doctrine." Hit le r took it all the way, no holds barred . We have chosen the .. selective" route. Compassion serves a sextant function . It gives us our bearings. It is anamorphic. The "sad eyes" of humans and animals which Dr. Albini refers to are apprehended through compassion (not as pity, but .as love). But for animals it is nuionaHstically suppressed pursuant to the .. means doctrine" and ..selective acquiescence ... The selectivity becomes species distinction. I have said that when we ask the question: ... Why is human experimentation proscribed?," the answer we get is: "Because of the pain and suffering it would entail." Obviously, if no 'f>ain or suffering were involved, we wouldn' have a problem. This dismantles the species distinction categorY as irrelevant, and puts animals in the same sphere of protection and concern as humans. since they. too, experience //Pain is pain regardless of who is experiencing it.

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

It is the execution of the argumen t for animal experimentation that compas- sion proscribes, and 9uite frankly, the reasoning must be gnevously contoned in ord~r to tender such a disfigured argument. . John Morley gives us a different view of the "means doctrine." He writes, "The means prepare the end, and the end is what the means have made it."

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

Life-scientists and especially healthrelated professionals are interested in obtaining bette.r insight into this question, not the least because their lives primarily are dedicated to alleviating pain, mitigating suffering, and increas~ ing the quality of all life. In his earlier essay, Mr. Ketcham addressed the relation of rationality and compassion. The statement was made that compassion is not an e"1_otion, but apparently, as presented in the essay. it also is not rationality; what. then, is it? Compassion could mean an emotion tested by reason and weighed against other emotions: defining compassion as not being purely emotional must a)low some panicipation of rationality. In addition, Mr. Ketcham speaiCs of "unbridled rationality." To me, this seems a contradictio in adjectis. Reasoning by itself is a bridle, its own bridle. "Unbridled rationality" can be conceived only as devoid of all relation with emotion and reality; as one track of reasoning uncoupled from the integrity of our personality, memory. and outlook. Reasoning never can reject a priori any statement or judgment; it is against the nature of reason to limit available Input into reasoning; "(only) when reason sleeps, monsters awake ... Goya wrote on one of his etchings. WithouJ contradicting itself, rationality cannot be authoritarian or unconcerned. Only truncated rationality, applied to one train of thought , but not to others, leads to inflexible ideological .._ systems. "Unbridled rationality" is cold. inhumane; it does not arise from too much reasoning. but from the prostitution of reasoning to greed for power or money, to misunderstood miss1onary zeal, to defense of one's own unreasonable position . True rationality is qot the enemy of emotion, but of those who use emotions to achieve their selfish goals; rationality is emotion's sublimer and educator. r. Ketcham also has explored the concepts of .. vertical .. versus .. latM eral" differentiation. He agrees that life forms differ from each other, and I concur with him that such differentiation should not include generalizing value judgments. Such generalizing value judgments indeed have poisoned much of our past and , I am afraid , will continue to poison our future. On the other hand , there is nothing wrong in grading apple trees according to their productivity, or designating temperatures as high or low, as long as we clarify the specific and restricted aspect in which grading is attempted. Jbus, if there is a variety of degrees of sentience among living beings, a gradation can be legitimately proposed - obviously, a gradation as to sentience and not overall value. Mr. Ketcham, in his earlier essay, cites me as writing that "animals do not have the one right 'not to suffer';" bat he does not cite the full statement. What I had suggested in my statement was that animals perhaps did not have one right, but more than one: namely the rigbt not to suffer and the right to improve the quality of their lives. Since these rights sometimes clash - as, for example, in medieally oriented animal research - neither can reign aboolute. Our judgments pertaining to these two rights have to be made in the force field of which they represent the poles. Thus, decisions about animal experimentation have to be made withm this field of opposite forces, and decisions have to be made for each individual case on the basis of reasonably flexible guidelines that do justice to both principles. Some animaL rights activists still condemn medical research as useless: "Run, eat carrots, avoid s'!ll. and cho- Iestero!, and you don't need medicine." Unfortunately, reality does not attest to the truth of such statements. Obviously, a "healthy lifestyle" has more to offer than to rally people into some "accepted~ way of social belonging and fashion ; it is of utmost importance. Past records and our quite incomplete knowledge of life processes and health and disease suggest, however, only a limited value for preventive medicine; and even progress in preventive medicine depends to a large extent on scientific experimentation. often including animals. We need medicine and the other life-sciences; and animal experiments have been shown to contribute essentiaJJy to the improvement of health care and life quality. Donald Barnes stated a year ago that animal experiments are useless: he knows it. he " The sad eyes of dogs, monkeys, and rabbits looking at us from behind the bars of their cages in our laboratories must not make us forget the sad and imploring eyes of patients in our hospitals . . . . " said. from his own experience. Mr. Barnes had done experiments on rats for years, and h~ now feels that these experiments were completely senseless. I cannot contradict Mr. Barnes' assessment of his experiments. However, individual failure cannot justify generalized statements about animal . experimentation. W ell being of animals and minimizing pain and suffering are widespread concerns among physicians, psychologists, and scientists interested in medicine. Indeed , the fir.;t guidelines for a humane treatment of animals came from an asSociation of scientists in Great Britain as early as the 19th century. Current regulations of animal use in research and teaching are stringent. In our Univer.;ity, all use of animals in teaching and research is reviewed by a rather large committee including non-scientists. and community representatives. Funhermore, all applififions for research use of animals that pass the scrutiny of this committee are re~wed by the grantin$ agencies. Finally, all research proJectS active at our Universit~ that involve animals are monitored regularly with respect to animal welfare by the institutional committee (Laboratory Animal Care Committee). On the other hand, advances in medicine and public health as well as veterinary mediCine and ecology easily can be inhibited by overregulation. This could lead, in the nearest future, to deterioration of the life quality of our nation. As I have suggested already a year ago, tbe 'sad eyes of dogs, 1nonkeys, and rabbits looking at us from behind lhC: bar.; of their cages in our laboratory facilities must no~ make us forget tbe sad and imploring eyes of the patients in our hospitals. The debate with Gary bas been a most rewarding experience for me; l have confirmed my old conviction that a real friend is the one with whom it is a pleasure to disagree. 0 �February 25, 1988 Volume 19, No. 18 Shouts, • s1gns( ana • The Student Association livened. things up at Saturday's 65-64 UB Cage victory over PaC!3 by _sponsoring a sign contest and an open hoop shoot at halftime. . which a couple Cit cheel1eaders teamed up for, going literally one-on-one.

Heimlich characterized the research as "a needless experiment that must be classified as cruelty. n 3) Also halted by that protest was a proposed research project that was to study the effects of weightlessness on bone growth. In this experiment cats were to be placed in body casts and suspended with their hindquarters off the floor. Some of them would remain on their front paws for 90 days. Necessity is not the "mother" of these inventions. At the heart of this k.ind of research is the absolutist argument that man has an "absolute n right to acquire any kind of k.nowledge, by any means, and at any costs where animals are concerned. At the very least, any circumscribing principle is too dim to be perceived. There seems to be little point in discussing "degrees of sentience" and purported uncertainty about the "comparability" of a dog's pain and suffering when these values ultimately are whittled away by some rationalistic scalpel that presupposes the absolute right of human autonomy with regard to animals. he U.S. Supreme court has · established a litmus test which it T uses to proscribe invidious discrimination against blacks. While this model, as applied to animal experimentation, •Would fall short of the stand~ embraced by some animal rights activists, it would at least be far . superior -to the standard being employed now, which is something less than stringenL This Supreme Court Model is a workable substitute that can at least be used to establish minimum criteria for animal research. All animal research would be subject to a .. strict scrutiny" inquiry that presents a four- pronged standard that must be met: I) All experiments that cannot be conducted humanely, in terms of pain and suffering inflicted , must be precluded ; 2) The research must be addressing an issue that reflects a grave and compelling social imperative for such inquiry; 3) All possible alternatives for such research must have been demonstrabl y exhausted ; 4) It must be demonstrated that the research has a significant possibility of producin!l a substant ial impact on the problem 11 claims to be addressing. No smgle standard can fairly claim to represent every "animal rights" posttton.. There is diversity in the amma_l r:~~hts community just as there is dtversuy m the research community. However, if this standard was established as a minimum standard a vast amount of animal cxperiment~tion would be precluded or curtailed. Most if not all, animal experimentation in the private corporate sector would be proscri~ by this standard. It is here, m the pfivate sector, where some of the most flagrant, repugnant violations occur with nothing more than the profit motive as a justification. Many of these practices are anachronisms that grew from an impertinent set of circumstances, from a less conscious period in human history. If we cannot manufacture and market nail polish without exacting these tremendous costs from animals in product testing research, then we are obliged to relinquish our claim to that product. It fails all four requisites of this standard. What claim can it make to necessity? The research profession is a coterie that shares responsiblity for its . practices. It is an amalgam of scientists who learned their trade in the academic institutional cauldron that inculcates these values in the scientific community, and subsequently in society. By curtailing the viable options of antmal research, we can bring a force to bear on the scientific community to accept its obligation to explore other alternatives in a wholesale, expedient, and _exigent manner. Rtght now there ts no sufficient impetus for prodding researchers into abandoning their dtlatory tendencies and inertia in advancing toward the goal of eliminating reliance on animal expe~~ntation.

He hung out \ol.rith people like future BealS Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs., annoyed the authorities at Coll!mbia Universiry with his anarchist activities, and rrav· eled around the world meeting other poets and reading from his work at coffeehouses and colleges. Howl is what many people think of when they hear the n ame Ginsberg. The 1956 epic poem, Ginsberg's first published work,. is perhaps one of the most widely read poems of the century. h dwells on the destruction by insanity of the "best minds of (his). generation." Now a distinguished professor at Brooklyn College, Ginsberg has recently traveled and taught in several cou ntries including Yugoslavia, where in 1986 he received the Struga Poetry Festival's, "Go lden Wreath." A member of the American Institute of Ans and Leuers, Ginsberg is cofounder of the Jack Kerouac Sehool of Dilembodied Poets at Colorado's Naropa Instirute, the first accredited Buddhist ~ in the Western world His numerous volumes of poetry iodude KJJddislt, E"'i*J Mimw, Rmli:y StmduN:hes, PfaM NtUJS, and Mind Bmulu.· Pcx.s 1972-1977. Recent worts include White Shroud, a coUeclion of poems from 1980-8.5, an annotated Howl, and Co1J«;UJ Poenu, which covers the years 1947-1980. Ginsberg will deliver this year's Charles Olson Memorial lectures at 4 p.m. on March 10, II , and 18 in the Poetry/ Rare Books Collection area, 420 Capen.

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

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

Vice Pro vost for Undergraduate Education John Thorpe, who is the dean of the unit , said he hoped "the senate would cast its blessing on the new college ... He said the bylaws have been recast several times over the past four months. Michael Cowen of Mathematics argued that "'it was too drastic a step to establish an und ergraduate college after only one reading of the bylaws. What we're really doing is establishing a new academic unit. •• But Senator Thomas Headrick of Law coun tered that recent changes in the bylaws are the direct res ult of previous comments f rom senators.

The cou nci ls would be from Arts and Letters, atural Sciences and Mathematics. a nd Social Sciences. In addition, Goodman's amendment would have expanded the number of non-voti ng members of the college's executive committee.

Dentan has studied and lived with the Semai people in Malaysia for man y years. According to Dentan, the Semai have similarities to other peaceful societies, such as the bushmen of Africa and the various Menn o nite gro ups in America, including the Hutterites and the A mish. Dentan also compares these gro ups to the me mbers of Alcoholics An o nymo us, wh ich co uld be called an other peaceful society. The Semai are no mad ic homtt rs , who use blowgun s to hunt fo r small game, and gatherers of wild roots and fruits. •"M ost peaceful societies have a refuge area in an ecological sense," · Dentan said . The refuge area is the place where the society lives, hunts, and gathers. In the case of hunters and gatherers, this area can be penetrated by predato rs who subject the peaceful society to slave raiding. The Mennonites maintain a separate community with exclusive attitudes which disco urage contact with people .outstde the community. In a similar Executive Editor, University Publications ROBERT T.

The peaceful socth eties also do not drink alcohol, whte has a tendency to increase aggress,vc behavior. Many peaceful societies undergo a period of violence, such as the pc rsecu~ tion of the Anabaptist Mennonttes 1 the 16th century, from which the{ emerge as societies lhat avmd conOJc with individuals witbin their o wn society or outside the group. . . Dentan said that the Sema1 wtll light . but only if their refuge area is ta ke n away. "They would rather run away. but if they have no place to run to. they feel they don't have a choice b~ to light," he said. Associate Editor ANN WHITCHER ~~~~:~ERN STEIN Weekly Calendar Editor JEAN SHRAOER Assistant Art Director REBECCA FARNHAII �February 18, 1988 Volume 19, No. 17 Death &dying How does the physician cope? "There are two By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO T parts o physicians. sickness is the enemy and the archenemy is death. But doctors must realize that when a patient is dying. the nature of their work changes, contends Rev. Lewis Bigler, a senior chaplain at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Instead of trying to cure the patient, doctors should try to make the patient comfortable and help him or her experience a high quality of life. Bigler. a minister at J onh Presbyterian Church in Amherst. worked with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the author of On Dtarh and Dying, early in her ca reer. He recently talked to UB medical students about -Pre paring for Your Patient's Death." There are two parts to the Hippocratic oath. he reminded the students. The first says that you shouldn~ withhold helpful treatment from you r patients. But the second, which is often overlooked , says that you shouldn't prolong death. You have to remember both pans to be an ethical physician, he said. to the medical oath: . patient 's actions will often let you A know that he has begun to integrate the idea that he's dying, Bigler "I think a lot of prolonging of dying is done in our culture,~ Bigler stated. -That's inappropriate." Death is a process in our culture, he explained. It starts when a pe11ion isn~ feeling well. He eventually goes to the doctor, gets a diagno sis, is treated , and at some point a prognosis is made that he is terminally ill. It's at that point that physicians should change the type of care they provide, he said. Medical treatments that cause patients pain, make them miss work , and keep them from social events are justifiable only when the patient will get well in the long-term. If the patient has been identified as terminal, -you're fooling yourself if yo u think you're giving (the treatments) for a cure," he said. Instead , physicians should be working to find ways to make the patient comfortable and promote the quality of life. "You have to recognize that there's a point where the good work you're doing changes from curative to caring, ... Bigler said. Learning how to talk to a dying patient is crucial. Bigler emphasized . It starts when the physician has to break the bad news. "You can~ drop the bomb and run ," he said. Don't co nfront the denial because it won~ work, he advised. It's like trying to tell an alcoholic or drug addict that he has a problem. The patient he"" only what he wants to hear. Denying his imminent death may be the patient 's way to fight the illness, one student noted. You don' want the patient to be comfortable with the idea of death if it means giving up the will to live. A balance has to be found, Bigler agreed. A patient may say, " I'm going to fight this thing and win , Oy around the wo rld , and marry again ... You want that fight there if the patient wants it. You don~ have to tell the patient he's wrong to believe he can actually accomplish all of that. But at the same time, don~ play the denial game with the patien t - don' buy ai rl ine tickets and make plans to travel with him. You ca~ gently bring him back to reality, Bigler said . Ask him what he would have to do to accomplish his goals. First he'd have to get well, and in order to do that he might have to follow a certain regimen. You'll be busy physicians. Bigler told the students, but you must take time to talk things through with your patient. That's the secret to any good physicianpatient relationship. but it 's especiall y important when you 're delivering emotionally charged news like -You have cancer" or "You have AIDS" or "You're going to die." It takes a while for the news to sink in . An hour later it may really hit the patient that this means the end is really co ming. · t first. patients will often deny that they're dying. Denial is healthy and appropriate, Bigler said. It becomes a problem o nl y if it gets th e patient in to A a medical crisis because he turn s to a quack -method or wo n't come in for treatment. Denial may be subtle. The patient ma y look at death in a childlike way as if he 's falling asleep. Or the denial can be as strong as th at experienced by a mentally ill person. Bigler gave th e example of a schizophrenic who thought she was dead. which is a fairly common delusion. A resident physician was convinced he could prove to her that s he was alive. Since she said that dead people don' bleed. the resident pricked her finger. She stared in amaze ment at the red drop forming on her fingertip. "My God. dead people do bleed! " she exclaimed . sai~ . Fo~ instance. he may begin to wrue a w11l. When speaking with d ying patients. Bigler advocates the use of metaphors. Using anecdotes, the physician can communicate in a way that the patient understands. Bigler said he probably has 200 or 300 metaphors that he has ga th ered over 15 years of hospital work , and he's always adding more. A metaphor could be something as simple as telling about another patient who just happens to be experiencing a similar problem. He used this technique with one woman and "for her. it spo ke." Bigler said . Rhymes work well for children and co ntemporary mu sic co mmunicates well with ad o lescents. "I also see well-planned prayers as metaphors." he added . The prayers are said for the patient and to them as well. Another metaphor he uses comes from escapist science fiction he read as a boy . . In the mystic east was the Room of a Thousand Dragons. used to test the mettle of those who aspired to be like the great Dalai Lama. The aspirants would enter the pitch-black room and hear the door lock behind them. To escape, they had to find their way to a · door on the other side of the room . Blocking the way were a thousand snarling dragons - the dangers. thoughts, and fears of their lives. The Dalai Lama offe red the aspirants only o ne clue on how to pass the test: once inside, keep your feet moving. "That's a beautiful metaphor," Bigler said, noting that life can be filled with pain and horror. -I've had patients on their death beds grasp my hand and say, ' I kept my feet moving.'" 0 Law School convQcation to focus on hiring-& firing urrent issues in employment relations will be the focal point of the Centennial Law Convocation being presented on Saturday, March 5, by the Law School·and its Alumni Association .

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

Performing-creative arts scholarships being· offered By ANN WHITCHER new scholarship program in the performing and creative arts has been established as part of UB's successful honors program, in operation since 1981. Ten students in the arts will be ad mitted as part of the program in the fall of 1988. They will receive unrestricted scholarships of S2,000 a year, renewable for four years of undergrad· uate study. According to Josephine Capuima, administrative director of the honors program, the arts scholarships are an attempt to attract students with out· standmg ability in art, theatre, dance, music,otand medi'a studies. Winners of the scholarships will be University honors scholars and will receive all benefits awarded to members of the regular honors program. In addition to the unrestricted schol- A arships, these "perks" include early reg· istration, guaranteed housing in Governors 'Residence Hall, faculty mentors, special honors seminar courses, and participation in the .. Evening With Faculty" programs. Admission criteria for the performing and creative arts program differ slightly from those used for the regular honors program, says Capuana. Students must have a high school average of 90 or beller, and combined .SAT scores of 1150 or better. Additionally, they must show evi· dence of exceptional talent. They must also be seriously committed to a field , says Capuana. Students applying for the scholarship must submll a portfo· lio, a film, video work, or digital arts composition, or must audition, depending on their intended field of study. C apuana says the University's h1ghly-regarded programs in engineering and. science at(ract many of the Unive rsity's honors students. The new arts program, she says, is an atte mpt to fos ter a broader image of UB. "Stu· dents who have outstanding promise in the performing and creative arts are ofte.n encouraged by tllei? guidance counselors to go elsewhere, when we can offer similar programs of very high quality." Clyde F. Herreid; professor of biological sciences and a member of the honors program council, comments: "Once in place, we expect the arts honors program to attract fine fine studen~ in large numbers. In a' very short llme, we ·sl!ottld' have one of the most outstanding groups of students in • the arts in the country." Richard Mennen, chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance, calls the ne.w scholarships "a terrific idea." He 1ldds: " It comes at a time when we• are developing an outstanding faculty in acting. It will enable us, especially within New York State, to identify t ~e nted performance students one should have when developing a ~re-professional program. In short, it he1ghtens the overall visi tiility of our program ." ylvia Dimiziani, associate professor of music, adds: "The establishment S of an honors scholarship in the performing arts will have a strong impact on the Music Department, · placing us in the position to recruit top students. Competition among conservatories and universities . to recruit top performing students is very keen, indeed, and UB is usually at a di•advantage due to the lack of scholarship support for the . truly gifted performer." A~ ptance letters for the arts scholarships will be mailed on April I. Additional information on the arts honors ~rogram may be obtained by tele phomng Capuano at 636-3020. 0 �February 18, 1988 Volume 19, No. 17 Harold Noah He looks and acts like a teacher I By FRANK BAKER W hen Harold Noah enters the room , you know you're going to get an education. He looks like a teacher. Maybe it's the glasses . Or the distinguished-looking beard. Perhaps it's his British accent. However, more than likely, it's Noah's demeanor. He not only looks like a teacher, he acts like one. Noah uses words that flow and strategic movements of his hands to add an embellishment wherever he deems one necessary. So, who is this Harold Noah? or starters, he is a professor of economics of education and a new addition to -UB's comparative education program, having just arrived last September from Columbia University where he held the prestigious Gardner Cowles Professorship at Teachers College. He also is the recent recipient of a $350,000-plus grant from the Chicagobased Spencer Foundation to be used to investigate national systems of secondary school examinations in China , England , West Germany, France, Japan, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and the U.S. Working with Noah on the study will be Max Eckstein, who holds appointments at the Columbia Institute for Philosophy and Politics of Education and the City University of New York. The countries chosen for the study were picked bc;cause "each exemplifies a particular aspect of secondary education examinations, ... noted Noah. F H e added that he hopes to be "able to say something sensible about three things" once the three-year study ends. First, Noah wants to see if, in fact, nations are becoming more similar in their approach to educational examinations. "I think we11 find that things are, indeed, becoming convergent," he said. Second, do the exam systems contribute to the inertia of education? "I believe that exams are powerful obstacles to change," noted Noah. "I think we11 find that to be true of all the nations we look at." Finally, Noah would like to find out what employers and admissions officers think about the usefulness of exams. Are they helpful in predicting fiow a person will tum out, or are they simply a measure of one aspect of a person's aptitude? R egardless of what he finds out about other systems, Noah will still probably hold his strong views on edu- "I think we've gone overboard in the use of multiple choice, quickie tests. We need to restore a balance." cation at home. To begin with, Noah feels lhe U.S. gives its students opportunities to further their education in a way that other countries do not. Take Great Britain, for example. .. The British are more restrictive and seleCtive about their education,.. said Noah. "Secondary schooling is not the mass enterprise m England that it is here. In the U.S. there is a good mix of uniformity and diversity in education." .However, just because he feels there are more educational opportunities in the U.S., don' get the idea that Noah believes the U.S. has a perfect system. He feels some definite improvements are in order. " 1 do think that we have gone overboard in the use of multiple choice, quickie tests," be said. "We need to restore a balance. 1' think a good test would include some multiple choice questions, but also a substantial fracllon of essays and problems where the student must show his work." oah used the Soviet Union as an example of how other countries emphasize different aspects of testing. "The Soviets place a tremendous emphasis on oral testing," he said. "For instance, a chemistry exam in the Soviet U ni9n consists of questions on a group of cards placed face down on a table. The student then chooses three or four cards and retires to another room. "After contemplating the questions for a certain amount of time, he is brought back into the other room_ and is asked to tell his answer to the instructor. Nothing is ever written." N !though that example clearly illustrates a major divergence from our system of education, NOab insisted there are actually . many similarities in education in all countries. For instance, ... all nations want to expand the role of women in education and to expand compulsory education itself." He added: ".All nations also want to use their schools for the promotion of good citizens and citizenship ... Because of these similarities, Noah said, all "schools are starting to look the same. To paraphase Gertrude Stein, 'a school is a school is a school. • " Noah was born in England and eame to the Uni ted States in 1958 on a Fulbright Scholarship. He received a B.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics and Politieal Science, an academic diploma in education from King's College, University of London, and a doctorate in comparative cduca· tion / econ~ts of education from Columbia in 1964. The author of eight books, he is a research associate in Columbia's Harriman Institute. He hopes to write a book on the 0 findings of his current study. A Multi-faceted Susan Howe is a visiting prof in English P ainter, poet, and writer Susan Howe, (!:Cognized for her work on Emily Dickinson, has lieen named a visiting professor of English here for the spring semester. Howe revolutionized the study of Emily Dickinson with her book /dy Emily 11Dickinson, a critieal look at the 20th century American poet that concentrates on the untitled Ninth Poem in Fascicle 34, which begins, "My Life has stood-a Loaded Gun." "It makes arguments for Dickinson that rescue her from the typical view of a retiring virgin ,.. said' Neil Schmitz, Ph.D., professor of English. Instead, he said, it shows her as an ambitious, bright, and powerful poet. Howe has recently participated in a series of workshops and readings on Emily Dickinson m Vancouver, B.C., as a guest artist of the Canadian government. Last summer she participated in a Robert Louis Stevenson po-" etry festival in Saranac Lake. She is currently worlting on ·a book of essays on· writings from the 19th century and pre-19t-h century, to show how early narratives influenced later texts of authors including Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau. A native of Boston, Mass. , she lived in -Buffalo briefl~ as a child when her father, Mark DeWolfe Howe, served as the sixth dean of the UB Law School. Following in the footsteps ·or her mother, an Irish actress and playwright, she worked as an actress and assistant stage desig'ler in Dublin for 'wo years. Howe returned to the United· States in 1957 to st ud y painting at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts. Her artwork has appeared in several galleries, including Komblee, Paley and Lowe, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. In 1971 she began writing, poetry which has been published in the books, Hinge Picture, 7ht Western Borders. Cobblige Gardens, The Secret History of the Dividing· Line. The Liberties. . Pythagorean Silence. Defenestration of Prague. and Articulation of Sound Forms"' in Ttme. Her interest in poetry led her to produce, edit add host..

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

Always straightforward, Sparkle has never bothered triOing with temptation. She's always had a bold way of accomplishing exactly what she wants. The Clifford Cook Furnas Memorial Conference Room is only one example. Even in co~rtship she demonstrated that quality. Sparkle was attending a church picnic in Happy Hollow Park in West l:.afayette, Indiana, when she spotted a handsome young man. He turned out to be Clifford C. Furnas, a Purdue University undergrad who would one day be the chancellor of the University of Buffalo. Furnas bad just returned from _ the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Belg~um, where be had competed in track and field events. Fascinated by the stranger, Sparlcle ignored the crowd of admirers that surrounded him, and zeroed in to engage Furnas in conversation. The fascination turned out to be mutual. ~we both came to the picnic with other people," she recalled, "but' he took me home. I don' know what became of our original dates."

"I'm really quite proud of the biography," admits Mrs. Furnas. She adds that she's run out of copies of the genealogy, and that she's had "many, many" requesrs for it. "It might be time to print some more ... Sparkle spent most of her married life in the public eye.

Despite all this activity, she thinks the Colorado altitude may have slowed her do,wn a bit.

Trained by the Quiche Maya of Guatemala, be knows bow to interpret illnesses, omens, and dreams. He knows 'now to keep time according to the Mayan calendar. And as a diviner, he is by profession an interpreter difficult texts. Back in the "real" world, Tedlock holds the UB English Department's James H. McNulty Chair. A distin· guished anthropologist, translator, and writer, he has written prolifically on anthropological and literary topico is the author or editor or four books. Among those books is Popol Vuh: Denn1s Tedlock IS a o1v1rler an 1nlerpreter of or The Mayan Book of the Dawn ·of Life, the Bible of the Mayan people. Tedlock"s widely acclaimed translation wOn the 1986 PEN (Poets-Essayists-lilovelists) Translation Prize for Poetry and the 1986 Elsie Oews Parsons Folldore Prize. P.opol Vuh tells the story of the creation or the world . It begins with the deeds of the Mayan gods, describes the development or the Quiche kingdoms in the highlands or Guatemala, and ends with the Mayan lords. diffiCUlt rJiayan texts order to understand what is being descri.bed in tbe story, I have to stu.dy the movellltnts or the planet Venus 10 various astronomical tables." edloek went much further than that T with the Popol Vuh. He took the ancient text into the field in Guatemala and read through it with contemporary Quiche priest-shamans or diviners. By hen Tedlock decided to translate W Popol Vuh, he moved to Guatemala with his wife and collaborator, B'arbara, now an associate professor or anthropology at U B. They spent more than a year among the half million speakers or the Quiche language. That's where daykeeping came in. Tedlock had visited the sacred places and listened to prayers and chants. He'd learned the rhythms of ~he Mayan calendar, and he'd asked a lot or questions. But he was running into problems trying to get answers. Then, the daykccper who had guided him through the shrines of the town or Momostenango offered to take him on as an apprentice. Four and a half months later, Tedlock was a trained day keeper and could start answering some of his own questions. It's not unusual for Tedlock to start out studying one aspect or a culture and find himse lf doing extensive. research in quite another area in order to understand what he started out to study. · "To understand one single story, you might have to learn something about astronomy or zoology or botany or look up some historical documents, • he said. "One wl!ole section of the Popol Vuh, for example, gives the mythology behind a part or the .hieroglyphic book that deals with the planet Venus. So in An illustration by filmmaker Patricia Amlin for her animaled film based on Popol Vuh. ... getting input from those who understand the language and history or the culture, certain passages o r even words that had always escaped translators would, iqeally, be elucidated. "No one ever realized that there were any hum orous aspects of the Popol Vuh ... for examp.le , Tedlock said . "There are plenty of them. You 11 be read ing through a passage with a Quiche, and he11 suddenly start lau~h­ . ing. So, he11 explain to you why tt's funny, and the passage might turn out to be an allegory. • 0 ne of Tedlock's primary inte rests is in narrative storytelling, especially in non-literate or oral cultures like that of the American Indian . . His translations" reflect that interest. They are not like traditional literal render- . ings which may focus on such things as getting the correct spelling or words; or writin$ in complete sentences. The extensive commentaries included in his translation of Popol Vuh, for example, give attention to what The Vii/Dge Voice calls "the cadenct'S of living speech underlying its ceremonial utterance." When he goes into the field , Tedloek makes sound recordings or contemporary · narratives, prayers, s peeches. chants, and songs. But these are also recordings of the voices that communicated those stories. "If alphabetic writing could speak aloud it would sound like a voice on a video 11ame, a computer voice stnpped of all 1ts musical d1mensions," Tedlock -said. " When I study narratives, I study them as performances. 1 try to make translations that are performable scripts. So when you read them aloud according to the instructions, you are giving the same kinds. or emphases, nuances: tones of voice, and pacing of I e original performers - all of which contribuJe to the meaning of a story and all o( which used to be ignored. "What storytelling is quintessentially all abolll-'fs creating mentlll pictures ·in people," be said. "Storyt.ellers are not so much trying to remember the words ru; describing the story as they see it. If it works, the membC:rs of their audience will be staring into space or closing their eyes or knitting just as ~ople used to do when they listened to radio dramas. It's basica lly a process ·or visualization." T he Zuni Ind ian·. of New Mexico, another society Tedlock has studied extensively, even ea1 a cc:rtain k..ind of nut similar to popco rn when they listen to stories. But th l ·e probably aren' many more s t o rytelling si milarities between New World and Western cultures. " In this society, we generally don' allow somebody even a five minute narrative," Ted lock said. "If I measured this society on a world comparative scale, we'd be at the extreme.,. end of shutting people down, of- not allowing them to tell stories. • Tedlock pointed to the development · of the joke. Our society's jokes have gotten shorter and s.horte r . Long shaggy dog stories were once popular, Tedlock noted, but that was 25 yean; ago.

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

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

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

And with more people taking shon holidays throughout the year. rather than th e t radition al, single block of time in the summer, the regi o n could inc rease tourism significantly by promoting "minivacations,"" it says.

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

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

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

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

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

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

J had to �February 11, 1988 Volume 19, No. 16 The opinions exptessed m "Vrewpoints" Pteees are those of the writers and not necessarily those of the Reporter. We welcome your comments I Korea Had Its First Open Democratic Elections in 17 Years Rob Tae Woo won the Presidency this past December in the first openl y held democratic elections since 1971. While Rob was not the most popular candidate because of his mihtary ties to Chun, the opposition leaders could not agree on a smgle candidate, and their vo te was fragmented. Rob won the election with just 35 per cent of the popular vote. But the riots have quieted , and Seoul will be a wonderful host for the 1988 Olympic Games. I The Olympic Facilities Are Mind-Blowing The Korean government and people ali ke are determined to stage the mos1 tmpressive Olympiad in the h.istory of the Games, and tt loo ks like they will do so. The Olympic Stadium is not o nly massive, but its architecture and the use of colors are brilliant. The running tracks are all being fresh ly cut alongside the Han River, and the Veladrome (with its banked walls for bicycling) is brand new and beautiful. In readiness for Olympic visitors, most of the subways in Seoul have color coded stickers that correspond wi th particular events and clear diagrams differentiating boxing from tennis, track & field, etc. The tax i drivers (Korean cab drivers are more reckless than New York City cabbies, but not as mad a:s cabbies in Bangkok) listen to English language tapes and will try to get some practice in with you as you ride. The average cab fare is equal to about S I U.S. There is generally no . tipping in Korea. Exactly one year before the openmg of the games, the traffic circle in front of Seoul's City Hall was closed to pedestrian traffic for a great celebration. There were huncireds--of dancers and singers, and a Tae K won Do (Korean martial art) demonstration performed by scores of children who we re each about six years old. The Korean people are psyched for the upcomi ng Olympics, and there will be plenty of hotel space. The People of Seoul Are Most Often Friendly I o be honest, I must say that I found the people and pace of Seoul to be the most aggressive l have ever seen, by far. This includes Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, New York, Los Angeles, Newark, etc. If the average pe rson in Seoul decides he is going to board the bus or subway before you, th at is exactly what will happen. If it takes physically moving you out of the A butcherin Kowloon (Bcljacent to Hong Kong) 1 S bringing his QOOdS into a smol<ing house. It 'na y 1101/ook appetizlnQ, but the slleets smelt 1000 - excellent food is being preparBCI. way, so be it. The city of Seoul is so full of buses that it seems like some kind of experiment; at any given time . you can see 60 or 70 buses. The buses are numbered , and the numbers begin at one. I have seen up to number 757. Each of these numbers represents a coute, of course, which was breathtaking in October at the height of its autumn colors. For novice climbers like me, there is a cable car which pulls people up the mountain top. It feels like the top of the world . Since Korea is over 5,000 years old, there are scores of museums, and folk and on each route there are I 0 or 12 villages around the country and in cities other than Seoul. Off the southern buses. The buses never seem to come to a complete stop. You arc: either runn ing tip of the nation lies a tropical island to catch one, or jumping off one. It is a pretty intense experience, but not up to the level of th e Tokyo Subway where it is so crowded that professional pushers have to squeeze you into the trains. One time whe n I was in Tokyo, the subway car was so crowded that breathing itself was an exercise:. Even thougb To kyo's public transit system is more crowded , it somehow seems more organized and efficient than in Seoul. The Japanese wait for people to exit the train at each stop before boarding, whereas boarding a busy train in Seoul is more like a football scrimmage. Actually, Seoul's public transit system is well developed and seems to run quite efficiently. It is very inexpensive to get around Seoul, or even out to the beautiful countryside. For instance, a magnificent swimming and suriing beach called Tae Chun is about two hours out of the city by train. The roundtrip fare is about $6 U.S. The beach itself, of course, is free. Being physically close to others does not seem to bother the people of Seoul. I have had strangers walk under my umbrella to keep themselves out of th e rai n, and very many people, women and men alike, hold hands .as they walk down the street. In almost aJJ nontransit situations, Korean strangers will offer you a cigarette. or if in a bar. to buy you a drink. Soju, the most famous liquor in Korea tastes like vodka and is as strong, but costs about 50 cents a bottle. Men, especially young ones, get together all the time and drink it in a ceremonial fashion in shot glasses. After a person takes a shot, . he passes the shot glass to the person snting to his left; they fill each other's glasses and then do it again. It is considered rude in Korea to fill your ow\\ glass when you are drinlc.ing with another person. I had some of my best times with buued people in Seoul because they were less scared to make mistakes when speaking English and really let it rip. I guess the same was true with me and my Korean. called Chedu Do. Some parts of the island are sharp and volcanic-like, and yet other parts have fine white sand along crystal clear beaches. The people in Chedu Do seemed even fnendher than Koreans from the mainland . The local people spoke a little different dialect, and even looked different than the mainlan<tt:rs. The men were taller, and the women more buxom . Chedu Do was wonderful , somewhat reminiscent of Hawaii . Korean People Are Competitive I Very On almost every street corner in Seoul there is a machine in which you place a 100 won coin (abo ut eight cents) and then punch a padded arm. The harder you punch it, the higher the score that is registered on its lights. Whenever the noise from that punching machine starts to ring, an instant crowd of Korean men gather, read y to challenge the user. To earn (or lose) a quick buck, all l had to do was to put myself in arm wrestling position at one of the open markets. In minutes, there would be chun won " (a bout S2.50). Very many young Koreans play "takoo," or table tennis. They hold the table tenms paddle upside down and arc horrifically spinning balls at one ~nother. In ':'lrtuallv every town and vtllage. there as at Ieist o ne teble tennis house (there are thousands of them in Seoul). Unless you are really good, you wiU probably I I There Is Plenty To Do and See Outside of Seoul As Korea is abou t 70 per cent covered with mountains, th!re is plenty of trekking and climbing to do. One parttcularly beautiful mountain is Sorak San, 10 I lived in three different places; the best was my hassuk in Tongnimun. near Soedaemun. There I lived with several Korean guys, each of a different age and background. We aU slept on our own "yos," futon-type pads that rest on a heated floor. It's good for the back . In my hassuk , and in most Korean homes, the "ajoma" did everything. My ajoma prepared , cooked, served, and cleaned all meals; she dtd laund ry. pressed shirts and ties, and scooped cold bowls of watermelon on hot summer nights. After the first few meals, I went to clean my own d ~hes. but my roommates became hystencal with laughter and the house mother looked at me as if I were crazy. I decided not to disrupt the local culture any longer, and I let her ~erve ~d c~re for me like a k.ing. All thts servtce wtth rent, cost only 160,000 won, or $175 per month.

S he might be 6' 1", but she plays like a smaller girl would play" with rega rd to running, shooting. and dribbli ng. This yea r. Hofer has had to use all her skills just to ge t the same resu lts of earlier years. That's because UB's women , just like the men, are now playing a Division II, rat her th a n Ill . schedule. Despite the higher - both literally a nd figuratively - caliber of he r co m· petit io n. Hofer has res pond ed by aver· aging 14.8 points and 8.2 rebo unds per game. Both are to ps for the Royals , who a t the begin ning of the season looked any t hing like last year's SUNY AC cha m pions. Record setter Hofer has chance at several more By FRANK BAKER hen Ca roline Hofer came to U B fou r yea rs ago, she had no idea that she would go on to set school records for women's basketball. After all, she was just a gangly freshman who had not been recruited and had only two years of basketball experience. What a difference a few yea rs can make. Now. as a senior. Hofer has become o nly the second woman in UB's history to record be tt er than 1.000 career points. That mileslOne came last Sunday in the Royals' 70-67 overtime loss to Queens College in which Hofer had 14 points and 19 rebounds. · With her 7-point tally in Monday's 59· 52 loss to Ca nisius, Hofer needs to score just 11 5 points in the next eigh t games to become UB's all-time leading women's scorer. If she does so. she will pass Janet Lilley's ca reer standard of 1.127 points set from 1977·81. Hofer established a U B record for career blocked shots - 101 - with the two rejections she recorded Monday. In addition to that. the 6'1" center has a chance to set career records in five other areas including career field goals and W "Caroline is the captain of the team and the nucleus of its inside game." However, after a dismal 1-8 start. the team has come back to win four of its last seven games and has improved its record to 5·1 I. ofer is one of th e main reasons for the improvement. .. Caroline is the · captain of the team and the nucleus of our inside game. " said Harvey. "As she goes. so goes the team. On nights when she's played well. we'Ve played well. and vice-versa." Hofer admi ts that at times this year. it 's been bard fo r her to get psyched about playi ng. "It's hard to get motivated to play when yo u know you ca n ' go on to the post-seaso n," she said .

"I had no idea this co uld happen to me when I firs t came here, .. she admitted . " I really did n' think I wou ld get to play much." That's because she was told by her coach, Ed Muto, that he didn' expect to use her all that much her freshman year. As it turned out , Hofe r staned that year. And she has never looked back . "Caro line was n 't a t op rec r uit." recalled present head coach Nan H arvey, who was an assistant coach when H ofer en tered U B. "' But she has imp roved a grea t deal. "Knowing he r limi ted experience in D Caroline Hofer sinks one against Queens. high school and what she has accomplished he re - really shows how much potential she had," Harvey says. Hofer agrees wi t h her coach's evaluation. " I knew I'd have to develop more if I wanted to play a lot." she said. ""But I really haven't put in that much ext ra work. Everything I have done (in bas· ke tball) has just come natu rally." Last year. all her natural talent came together as Hofer was named the State University of New York Athletic Con· ference (SUNY A C) Player of the Year and was selected t o the AII·New York State Team f~r the Upstate Region. ust a few years ago, whe n she was a stude nt at James E.

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

Then the -up ply from the Old World was tntrrru ptcd by the Revolutiona ry War •nd the War of 1812. • I h,, forced Americans to make their ov. n. though the medicines were considl!'r\'d forge ri es because the Americans d1dn 't own the licenses. ~mcnca n pharmaCists sometimes rcltlled emp ty patent medicine bonles •nh thei r ow n preparations. Or. they'd tmpon em pt y bonles from Europe and r.nth<m themselves. '-'~111cc there was a high illiteracy rate , p<oplc recognized the shape of bonles a_, more than they recognized the wording of labels. Godfrey's Cordial was known by its long, thin bonles. Bateman 's Drops carne in a bonle shaped like an invened cone. The bottle for Turlington 's Balsam of Life was expensive to produce. It had a complicated and irregular shape in an ancmpt 10 protect against forgery. Unfortuna tel y . Harr is said. glassblowers could get away with slop'pv imitat io ns. If a bottle had irregula·r sides, people assumed it was Turlington's. I t wasn 't until the C ivil War that Americans fully broke away from European manufacturers. At the sa me time. American preparatio ns. wh ic h had been regi o nal products up to that time. were able to expand their sales territories. Transponation had been slow and expensive. With the adve nt of the rail road, transportation became fast and cheap. Faster presses made the printing of ads, brochures, and posters cheaper, too. Some manufacturers staned spending a small fonune on ads. Harris said. Some went so far as to bUy the newspaper company so they could run their ads free and make sure there were no articles that might damage their product. And so ldiers coming home fro m the war brought preparations that had worked for them. There were possi bl y as many as 100.000 or 200,000 patent medicines in the U.S . at the end of the 19th century, Harris noted . "Anybody co uld make and se ll a patent medicine. " he emphas1zed . Y ~lll didn' need federal approval or studtes to see if it was safe or effecuve. although so me early manufacturers were very ethical and tri ed to get feedback on deleterious effects. It was a way to make a living - if yo u got hurt -on the railroad or your business failed. you could always sell patent medicines. T he traveling salesmen often prepared the medicines in their hotel rooms . They'd buy the ingredients from the local pharmacist and use a dresser drawer to coat the pills to prevent them from sticking together. In the 19th century , there was no clear dividing line between patent medici ne and prescription medicine, Harris said . A prescription was merely a conve nience between the ph ysician and pharmacist . In the 19th century, anybody could order mo rphine. he explained. They just had to sign the poiso n register book which listed who bought the item and th e reason for the purchase. Some would list reasons such as diarrhea. but o thers would M: ho nest and write "habit." Drug abuse -was a problem of the 19th century, Harris noted . He told of a family in Delaware who recently remodeled their house and found 3,000 bollles buried in the basement. A previous owner probably was affiicted with an alcohol or opium habit over a period of SO years, Harris said. Paten medicines often con tai n ed ingredien we consider shocking roday. Cocaine was used against tuberculosis because it relieved the pain, he said . Mother Hunt's Baby Syrup contained opium. It would relieve colic and teething pain by pulli ng the baby to sleep. "The trouble was that it would put the baby to slee p permanently when used in excess." Harris noted . pium was popular because people didn' have drugs such as aspirin then , he explained. Morphine became favored over o pium around the time of -the Civil War. Then it was disc ove red that morph ine is just as addicting as opiu m . Then heroin. an even more potem opiate, became popula r at the end of the 19th century. Harris said. h was used in cough sy rups and was conside red a beuer. safer opiate . By the 20th century . it was realized th at anythi ng in that chemical family would be addictive. "We still think we can have drugs without si de effects," H a rr is commented . " We want to believe it and it's being pro mo ted by the manu fac turers." 0 P atent medicines also were often high in alcohol. Perry Davis Pain Killer. on display in UB's Pharmacy Museum. claimed to relieve cram ps. colic ... diarrhoea ," chills. colds. muscle strains and sprains, insect stings and minor injuries. lt contained 5 I per cent alcohol - that's 102 proof!

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

By FRANK BAKER D onald Henderson's curriculum vita looks a little like some· one accidently dropped a pile Henderson was also impressed wit h the attitude he saw here.

Currently. he's the chairman of the Communicative Disorders and Sciences Depanment at UB. Although the mild-mannered Henderson is as much at ease talking about his days playing football at Western Washington State College as he is talking about his expenise in the field of hearing-Joss study. it is the latter that has earned him more than a dozen grants and awards and brought him to this University. "Dr. Henderson is an international leader in the field of audiology." said Ross MacKinnon , dean of Social Sciences .... He has given the depanment international recognition . For starters, Henderson. along wi th his p_anner. Richard Salvi, Ph . D. , has received a grant from the Centers for Disease Control to continue their research on the effects of impulse noise on the auditory system. The funding. worth over S 160 ,000. will enable Henderson to continue the work he Henderson is a "real catch for UB," the dean of Social Sciences submits. ... He was looking to come home and we were eager to have him. staned with Salvi in 1970. The stud y explores the interaction of noise and certain drugs, such as aspirin. and their effect on hearing. "We already know that large doses of aspirin can lead to a ringing in the ears and some hearing loss:· said Hend erson . .. We want to see if there's more loss when noise is combined with the drug." Henderson and Salvi have been working on the drug experiment for two years and plan to continue it for "ano ther couple of years... said Henderson . In addition to that grant. Henderson has four others - two each from the federal government and the private sec- opment," said the graduate of the University of Texas-Austin. "UB has been honorable and competent in providing me with what they said they would . "UB has thought about and has a plan to accommodate the ne xt 10 10 15 years of growth." he added.

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

Taipei is also a very inexpensive city in which to eat, sleep, and be merry, not necessarily in that order. In Japan, I was in Fukushima, Kyoto, Sendai, and Tokyo. Japan was the most expensive country I traveled thro~. A simple lunch in Tolcyo cost over $25 -and a 12ounce can of beer was over $5. I saw a few Lambborginis, Ferraris and Pentaras, among'flundreds of Mercedes and BMWs aU over Tokyo.

U B has afforded Henderson the opportunity to do what he does best : study hearing loss. "We need to make people aware of the hazards of noise on the auditory system," said Henderson. One way he bas done this is through a study he and his colleagues did for the Army on the effects of gunfire on hearing . Among other th ings, the scientists found that shon bursts of gunfire can be more hazardous to hear- about crime. Amazing . Conclusion The countries of the Pacific Rim have become powerful economies and will continue to be so througbout' the foreseeable future. This provides and will continue to provide -opportunities for many of us. Even for those not looking toward international careers, Asia is a fun and interesting place: through which to travel.

For the future. Henderson said that. "I also want to expand the research base here." added Henderson. I n addition to those goals, Henderson said he is working on a center for augmentative communication at the University. "Many people who have had an accident or have cerebral palsy have the intellectual capability to comm unicate. but just can't get the output," he said. By establishing a center for research into that problem not only would UB be able to help many Western New Yorkers. but it could also become "a national leader in the area." predicted Henderson . A more current plan of Henderson's is 10 work with UB .tudents who suffer from this disorder. " I would like to see us establish a clinic."' he said. "There's already a proposal into the State to work with 10 students so we can try to develop improved ways for them to communicate."' • Finally. in an attempt to attract some of Western New York's top high school students to UB. Henderson would like to develop an internship program · for them on campus. " Instead of having top students earn minimum wage flipping hamburgers. why not have them earning minimum wage at an internship in a lab?, .. asked in addi tion to continuing his research. Henderson. "That way the kids get he would like to funher develop his depanment. · "I have a five-year plan for the depanment." he said. "Currently there some experience and the University gets some connections with some of the most promising students around ."' As it stands now, it seems UB made itself a pretty good connection in is mainly just master's training. I want to develop more Ph.D. training.

"He said he'd call a friend to come help us. Who showed up with the JUmper cables, but his old girlfriend! " He knew she'd be good for a favor because she was still in love with him.

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

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

It must connect to the Cary-FarberSherman addition a nd that poses some problems on where to locate it. There's it up to 234,000 net square feet. That significant increase IS needed to address the needs of the academiC departments and to house externallyfunded research, lnnus said. Research has grown dramatically in the last several years. The complex should be done toward the end of 1992 or beginning of 1993. This complex will be located between Cooke-Hochstttter and Fronczak. That's not a lot of room for such a almo~t "The FNSM Complex will now be 44,000 net square feet larger than was first planned. Total cost will be just under $60 million." no vacant land nearby.

The entire addition will cost $18.2 million. • Baird Research Partt. Construction should be completed in late June on an incubator to house fledgling businesses and UB researchers, the first project in the Baird Research Park. The park is located on land owned by the UB Foundation at Sweet · ~orne and Chestnut Ridge roads, just northwest of the Governors Residence Halls. The first floor of the two-story. 40,000-square-foot build!ng will be leased by the University as research space. The second floor will be used as incubato( space for fledghng busrnesses. The UB Foundation has contracted with the Western New York Technology Development• Center. which manages the University•s incubator at 2211 Main St.. to also manage the Amherst incubator space. said Joseph J . Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation. The buildiog itself will be managed by UB Foundation Incubator. Inc., Mansfield said. The S3.4 million facility is being funded with S2.9 million from the New York State Urban Development Corp., the New York Stale Science and Technology Foundation, and the Western New York Economic Devtlo.pmc:nt Corp.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The consortium consists of the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Roswell Park M~morial Institute, and the University of Rochester Medical Center and School of Medicine and Dentistry. The initial focus of the group will be on bone marrow transplants. Sharing of resources in areas outside transplant medicine is also being explored . "This cooperative agreement is a good indicator of further interinstitutional cooperation in the two communities of Buffalo and R ochester," said John Naughton, M.D., vice T president for clinical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine here.

Cuomo has recommended that S I mill io n in State fund s be allocated to the Cen ter for Management of Toxic Substa nces and Hazardous Wastes at UB. The recommendation is subject to approval liy the New York State Legislature. · President Steven B. Sample said the ce nter is pooling tbe Stale's resources to investigate methods of reducing the hazardous .effects of toxic waste. "The research center represents the first time that scientists in the State have collaborated on research to clean up toxic waste. The center is bringing together the tremendous resources of the State's univ.c rsities. research inStitutes, and industries to address that critical problem;" Sample said. Last year, Governor Cuomo urged the formation of the center in his "State of the State" 'address. Leadership for tbe bill was provided by Assemblyman Joseph T . PiUittere and Senator John B. Daly, whose districtS are in Niagara County. In last year's DEC budget, the i:enter was aUocated S I million as "seed money" to start the research program. According to· the governor's recommendation, $890,000 in unspent funds G from that yea r will be reall oca ted to th e center. That commitment is expected to attract additional grants from the federal government and industry , acco rding to Dale M . Landi, UB vice president for sponsored programs. Ralph Rumer, Ph.D. , director of the center and professor of civil engineering, said that the long term research and development efforts of the center include: • Developing cosH:ffective technologies for neutral izi ng, recycling, or otherwise securely containing hazardous substances. • Developing new technologies to minimize the production of hazardous wastes or to produce sucp wastes safely. • Devel'oping improved methods of safely storing and transporting toxic substances. "The- center will pursue these objectiVes*oii'"U -inkdlisciplinary basis with the participation of Roswell Park Memorial Institute, the Great Lakes Laboratory, Arvin/Calspan Corporation, and the State's universities and industries," Rumer said, - adding that industries will be allle to . increase the effectiveness of research in waste management . by pooling · their efforts with UB and other universities. 0 exc hange in research and educaiion. t first, the interchange will involve A faculty visiting neighboring institutions to work on joint research, according to Naughton . Later, th e exchange could involve the exchange of senior reside nts and special fellows from the two medical schools. It is proposed in the consortium agreement that a joint program for bone marrow transplantation be established at Roswell Park and Strong M~morial Hospital of the Universi ty of Rochester Med ical Center, enabling phySICians to perfo rm allogeneic (donated) bone marrow transplants for pauents suffenng from leukemia aplastic anemia, and related diseases. ' The bone marrow transplantation program at Roswell and Strong Memonal wtlt serve patients in Western New York as well as the Finger Lakes and Central New York. Tomasi said Roswell currently offers autologous bone marrow transplants m its clinic . Autologous transpla nt !! involve drawin g marrow fluid from the patient, trea tin g the fluid , then retu rning the marrow to the patient. T h1' procedure is less complicated than alh)geneic transplants. which requ ire spt·· cial facilities. .. Research is needed in the bone mar row transplant area, including gent: therapy," Tomasi said, adding that gene therapy, now an experimental procc· dure, entails inserting genetic mat enal into the .cells to replace missing gene>.

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

The cente r would undert ake basic and ap plied resea rch on trade a nd investment problems related to bilateral trade. It would also provide support services, such as se minars and workshops. marketing studies, and technical tramin& pt.ograms for corporate executives and for go_vemment and private groups interested in the economic relat io nships 0 between the two countries, he said . Women playwrights will hold international event here omen pla ywrig ht s from throughout the world will gather in Buffalo next fall for the First International Women Playwrights Conference, sponsored by UB. According to Anna Kay France. project director and associate professo r of theatre and dance, the conference will showcase the work of women playwrights, many of whom have had little chance to meet and dtscuss thetr plays. About 1,500 persons are expected to participate. Also, several thousand wtll attend performances of plays by women presented by local professional theatre companies - the Studio Arena, the Kavmoky the Ujima, the Alleyway, UB's Sid~ey B. Pfeifer Theatre, and others. Participating playwrights will include Alice Childress and Megan Terry (U.S.), Micbelene Wandor (Great Britain), Sharon Pollock and Pol Pelleuer (Canada), Griselda Garobaro (ArJ!entina), Bai Fengxt (Chma), and Fatima Dike (South Africa). . A group of prominent critics and scholars will also take pan m the public sessions. Most of the panel discus- W " sio ns will include short readings or performances by the playwrights or other actors, or brief videotapes of staged productions. France notes a growing interest in the work of women playwrights. "Yet, "We seek responses to basic questions from the diverse vantage points of women from a variety of races, classes, cultures and countries." women playwrights often work in isolation, with meager production resources and . little critical support. Even now their p~ofessional survival and their place in history a re fa r from assured."' Today, in the major English-speaking countries. plays by women acco unt for only about seve n per ce nt of the professional theatre season. Still, b,Y the mid - 1980s, nearly a third of the members of the Dramatists Guild were women . Women pla ywrights have received the Pulitzer Prize, along with Dramatists Circle and Obie awards and other important honors. "Women playwrights of substantial reputation and achievement are now to be found in countries throughout the world," says France. "AU of the invited playwright s have achieved prominence in their respective countries. " place Oct. 18-20. Public sessions begin on Oct. 21. Registration for playwrights is limited to 200.

The bridge started galloping all over the place. and at the bottom of one of the support columns water and sand were shooting up in the air a couple of feet like there had been hoses under the ground.

(The abov~ is a hypothetiral scenari. of what might occur in almost any eastern U.S. city subjected to a moderate size earthquake. Such an event will occur, if most of the scient isiS are correct. within our lifetimes. The question then is not whether. bw when, and K'here. and wh01 can be done to mitigate again.ft 1his most destructive of all natural hazards.) 0 n Oct. I , 1987, an event of this type and size did occur in Whtttier, California. The following is a quick overvie" of what actually happened. (It is to be understood that this is an extremely abbreviated, preliminary overview. A number of reports have already been written, and others are in the planning stage. The National Science Foundation anticipates the preparation of a comprehensive document detailing the lessons to be learned.) The Whitter Earthquake - or as it is now being called, the Whittier-Narrow s Earthquake - struck at 7;42 a.m. (P.T.), OcL I , 1987. It measured 6.1 on the Richter Scale. Based on Cal Tech measurements and measurements of otber seismological stations, the epicenter was located between San Gabriel and Rosemead Blvds., and between Pomona and San Bernardino Freeways, near tbe Whittier Narrows recreation area. It was followed by several aftershocks, tbe strongest measuring 5.5, whicb occurred at 3;00 a.m. (P.l t.) on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Disaster field offices were established. Rapid damage assessment the built-up portion of the metropolitan area of Los Angeles. The maximum intensity of the earthquake has been estimated at VIII (on the Modified Mercalli Scale). which means "steering of ca"' affected , falling of some stucco and masonry walls, twisting and falling of some chimneys, factory stacks, monuments, elevated tanks. and the breaking of branches and limbs of trees." It covered a small area of about four square miles. A larger area of slightly less than 200 sq uare miles, which included all or pan of 16 municipalities and the eastern portion of Los Angeles. experienced varying degrees of lesser damage. The total number of buildings in this larger affected area approximate one-half million with about 10 per cent being non-residential. The total replacement cost would be in the neighborhood of SSO-S70 billion. This earthquake, which lasted only about I0 seconds. affected a large provided sufficient information for Gov. Oeukmejian to declare a disaster in the affected area on Oct. 2. The President did the same on Oct. 7. It ts est•mated that about 12,000 family and individual households. or approximately 30,000 people. were made homeless due to thi earthquake. As of November II . direct damage to structures was estimated at S358 million. As costs associated with interruption of business operation. practice before 1971 also sustained heavy damage. Many masonry foundations failed. anticipated that the total losses associated with the Whittier-Narrows Earthquake will exceed one-half billion dollars. In California. only about IS per cent of the homes are insu red against The various jurisdictions responded needs , without relying on mutual aid. However, actual losses surpassed the long-term recovery capability of affected communities. The Governor's and Presidential declarations of disaster paved the way for establishing federal and state mechanisms for assistance in recovery and reconstruction. (This section was based on a confidential report of rhe Narional Cenrer for &lrthquake Engineering Research tilled "The Whillier- Narro ws &lrthquake of October, 1987. "J The major causes for losses , however, transportation, and commumcauons - 100.000-square-mile area experienced an Intensity of VIII or greater. (In the Whiuie r-Narrows Earthquake. four square miles had an Intensity of VI II ). Within an 800.000-square-mile area. the earth shaking was felt by all, and many were frightened and ran outdoors. Another large eastern earthquake occurred in 1886 in Charleston. South Carolina. It had a magnitude of 7.7 and caused structural damage as far away as Kentucky, Indiana. Illin o is. and Misso uri. The probability of an earthquake measuring 6.0 or greater o n the Ri chter Sca le occurring in the eastern part of the United States within the ne xt 25 years is nearly 100 per cent. The probability of recurrence of a magnitude 8 or greater \11 the Cent ra l Mississippi valley is in the order of I to 2 per cent. B seismic hazard , and, in fact, the probability of a major earthquake T he prospect of a large earthquake striking a major metropolitan area of the country is a frightening thought. But as was clearly demonstrated in the preceding section, certain areas, and certain cities are beuer prepared than others to respond to such events. While not as large as the one which occurred on Oct. I, 1987, Whiuier has had earthquakes before ( 1812, 1878, 1903, 1907, 1927, 1933, 1952, and 1971 ). Whittier knows what to expect. It had a disaster plan in place, had an organizational structure that was prepared to take charge. It had carried out mock drills. Not to be minimized is the fact that Whittier is located in California which, on the average, experiences a significant earthquake about once every eight to ten years. The causes for these western type events is more or less relatively well unde,.tood. F'liSt attempts at prediction · are under way. ln short, earthquake preparedness is part of the normal day- Coping with an earthquake threat requires an atypical degree of interjurisdictional and interagency coordination of effort. All levels of governments have roles and responsibilities to exe rcise. preferably not totally independently. Rather than limiting earthquake emergency management to preparedness and recovery, mitigat io n of the effects of an earthquake is a vigila nt action . Mit igati o n is acco mplished through c ~ n s truction of earthquake-safe facilities . Earthquakes destroy buildings. parts of buildings. highwa y structures, o th er transportation systems. dams. water and sewer lines. electrica l lines. environme ntal co ntrol facilities. recreational facilities. and o ther system s. The destruct io n ma y re uh in en dan gered li\'eS and ca use great social an d economic disrupti o ns. By improving the qualit y o f co nstructed facilities. it is possibl e to reduce th e lo of life . to reduce injuries. and to red uce property loss. Construction is co ntrolled by regulations. codes. zoning ordinances, siting evaluati ons. and design practice. Earthqu ake mitigation must be accomplished through all of these r:o ntrols . In addition to mitigatio n thro ugh improved construction. th e destruct ive o f earthquakes ca n be reduced by locating structures in low risk area~ . effec t ~ Earthquakes generally impact la rge areas. and the ir effects ca nn ot be entirely avoided. Even so. proper si ting of structures can result in fewer pro blems. and can significantly reduce earthquake losses. To reduce the risk of earthquake ecause no large earthquakes ha ve occurred in the east in the memory of its present inhabitants, the general occurring is quite low . But moderate to severe quakes have occurred in the past and will certainly recur in the future . chimneys and concrete towers were performed well with only minor damage. Concerning emergency response: 90 fires were reported. AU of these were local incidents, and were soon contained. Traffic was interrupted on one interchange because of structural damage to a support column, and in some affected areas of uptown Whiitier, because of building debris, or because of danger of further collapse. Many high-rise buildings were on that fault system during that sa me period of time. Eighteen of these were felt as far away as Was hington. D.C. A public thinks of the region as free from were due to non-structural damage. In many instances the building "survived" but the contents were "lost." Masonry severely damaged, parapets and facades collapsed, suspended architectural ceilings, lighting fixtures, and heating and air conditioning duets fell. Sprinkling systems broke, resulting in excessive water damage. Improperly anchored mechanical equipment broke loose causing major damage. Fortunately, most of the buildings which had nonstructural damage were not occupied at the time of the main shock or the aftershock. Many injuries were avoided. In general, the lifeline systems water supply, electrical power, . occurred not -in California but in so uthern Missouri on the Mississi ppi moderate-to-large earthquakes occurred weU to the post-earthquake emergency constructed according to engineering imagination. In fact , the largest kn o wn earthquakes in the Uni ted States clientele start to become available. it is damage seemed 10 be a function of the type of structure, its age, che local soil rehabilitation had been undertaken. Unreinforced. load bearing masonry fared the wo"'t. Tilt-up structures, where the precast walls and the ceiling are poured on the ground, allowed to harden, tilted up into place, and then connected by anchors, also had difficulty. Several reinforced concrete buildings, bridges, and other structures known to the public. Earthquakes are strange, and suspect. But when they occur, they can be destructive beyond River at New Madrid in 1811 -1 8 12. Three very large quakes occurred (8.6, 8.4 and 8.8). More than 200 additional early estimate was that about 10,000 dwellings were damaged, as well as many commercial and industrial facihties. As would be expected, the conditions, and whether or not seismic occur much more often and are better displacement, and potential loss of earthquake damage, and approximately 20-25 per cent of the small businesses . It is estimated that out of the 12,000 homeless households which did have earthquake insurance, only a small number will be able to collect on their policies, because of the large (10 per cent) deductible. number and variety of structures. An to-day vocabulary of the average Californian. Earthquakes of major size occur only infrequently in tbe eastern part of the United States. Other natural hazards (e.g. hurricanes, floods, fires, etc.) The problem is compounded by a high population densit y, many old buildmgs, a high degree of modern industriaJization , and a lack of concern in the current building codes and zoning ordinances. The potentiaJ threat to people and property is sufficientl y high that it cannot be ignored - in spite of its low frequency of occurrence. With the exception of California. the state and local governments of the United States rarely set specific public policy aimed at earthquake hazard mitigation. State and local policymakers are unconvinced of the need for earthquake codes. • Government, the private sector, and other elements of society must deal with an earthquake threat with beuer preparedness planning than has been the case in the past. Those plans should include engaging in nonstructural hazard mitigation activities, by preparing and practicing coordinated emergency responses by various entities, and 'pfe'":planning the recovery and reconstruction phase which will follow the actual emergency response. losses in the future. imple mentatio n of mitigation measures and activities must take place. Most decision makers in the public and private sectors. however, are reluctant to involve build ing regulation reform , without some incentive for doing so. One set of primary incentives for sti mulating action invol ves information rewards and penalties: I ) insurance requirements based on informed actuarial rate making, 2) liabilities which may result from not taking/ or inappropriately taking certain mitigation measures, and 3) regulations on what and how to invpke certain mitigating activities. But the major need for earthquake hazard reduction is education. When each participant in each activity affecting seismic safety unde,.tands the problem and how it should be treated, seismic safety can achie,..·ed . Seismic safety rarely is the sole, or even the major concern of the person to be ed ucated, whether it be the public administrator, manager, professionaJ., laborer, homeowner, or housewife. Thus, for it to be effective, knowledge of seismic safety must be integrated with the main education source for each audience, and placed in that audience's frame of reference. It is this knowledge that will become the vehicle which will move government, industry, and emergency management agencies "· toward protecting the people of the 0 United States_and their interests. �February 4, 1988 Volume 19, No. 15 Group in Ma rxist Studies will be held in 4700 Park Hall at 4 p.m. UUAB GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL • • Brok-en Juc.

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

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

However, even with this proud past, not one of Coach Ed Mtchael's teams has enjoyed as high a national ranking during the season as this year's Bulls. This i' 'vl ichael's 18th season here and he ha; compiled a 235-88-4 record. At last check, Michael's 1988 matmen were number one nationally in Dl\i>io n Ill. · I he team now stands at 7-2 in dual mccb after last weekend's sweep of the llulls' double dual meet with Cortland and RIT. UB easily defeated the two opponents 27-8 and 36-5, respectively. Michael's grapplers were led by junior Steve Irving's {134 lbs.) technical lall win against Cortland and by co,·ap tain Dean Salvaggio's {142 lbs.) pin and freshman Bill Stanbro 's { 177 lbs.) technical fall win against RIT. Tuc;day they lost to nationall y ran~~d Division I power. Edinboro. nfonunately, even last weekend's lopsided wins couldn' erase the disap pointment of narrowly losing to the mighlJI Syracuse University Orangemen at Alumni Arena last week, 19-17. The loss snapped the Bulls' nine-match U winning streak. "Never before have the Bulls been ranked so high in the polls." Ironically, the last time UB lost a Jual meet was to Syracuse, exactly one '·" to the day ot last week 's defeat. .. We haven' had a big win yet this car ... lamented Michael.

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

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

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

He won a scholanbip and studied economics and history in Ger- : many for two years. • · He ilid his graduale worlt at Harvard aJiil in 1895 became fint IIIKk in U, S. to~ alloclonlle in Iristory. His~ 1Jie~on :: i A. Silverman Undergraduate Library, continues through Feb. 12. It is on loan from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. For many of the people who visit the exhibit, this will be an Introduction to Du Bois. Though he has a lengthy list of accomplishments, tbey may never have even beard of him. very ignorant of a lot "AU of us of things," Davis satd philosophically. " As individuals, we can all survive with a modicum of knowledge. But there are persons and ideas that enhance our lives. •Du Bois is one of those persons." The ideas he foun4ed or fostered are still pertinent to us today, Davis said. For instance, Du Bois insisted that the world's development and the development of industrialized nations must not be at the expense of less developed nations. This is a powerful concept today as we reckon with the Third World and Third World debt, Davis noted. Domestically, Du Bois preached that one group should not succeed economically, politically, or socially at the expense of others. He was a staunch advocate of women's rights, Davis said. Particularly later in life, Du Bois became a staunch pacifist. In 1950, he led a campaign to ban the atomic . bomb. ~He was a staunch betiever that the horror of World War II could not be repeated if mankind was to survive," Davis said . • are E0 reason B~is ne that Du might not be well known today is beCause of his Communist connections~ i ~:fu~.~v~~~ f:'ai~~tten,.:: the the 19SO of lire....,._ sr- JhMt-trifM Urif.. : tUI'ned a do i caused by unbridled individWilism. : Though be admitlcd 1hele.,.were : ' : In 196 I, be joined tbe Communist Party.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

" Part of my job was to absorb some of _the shock end hostilit y over that. whtch was appropri ate because it was also IllY responsibility in large part to make those recomme nd ations to the provost and the president," Albino observed. addi tional financial support wit hin the and from alumni.

MARLETT Associate Editor CONNIE OSWAlO STOFKO Art Director REBECCA BERNSTEIN Weekly Galendar Editor JEAH SHRADER Assistant Art Director REBECCA FARNHAM �january 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 14 The Bulls Eve_n t~o ugh the team is eligible for the DIVISIOn Ill playoffs this year Bazzani doubts his team will be select~d . "We do n~ have a good enough record," he said . "We have to be realistic. We're not going to go 17-10 the rest of the way and a 15-12 or 14-13 record just won~ make it." Despite the difficulty of the remaining schedule - games away at Gannon and Philadelphia Textile and home dates wi th LeMoyne and Pace - Bazzanl still feels the team can reach its goal of a .500 season. They're consistently inconsistent By FRANK BAKER I A s he looks toward next year, _Bazzani seems enthusiastic, yet cauttous. On the positive side, Bazzani will finally be able to offer scholarships to his recruits, will lose only one player to grad uatio n. and has a nucleus of three or four returning players who know his system and can contribute heavily. Unfortu nately, every silver cloud has a gray lining. The Bulls' mentor also knows he needs help in three specific areas: a trut center who can ease the team's troubles with rebounding. a quick. outside·shooting forward . and a guard who can shoot the three-point shot consistently. "We haven~ had a true center all year," lamented Bazzani . "Billy (Smith} and Darryl (Hall) have played there. but they aren~ real centers. Also, "we haven't had an vone shoot the three point shot consistently," he satd . .. Those are our two biggest weak· nesses ... As a result of the team's doughnut look - nothing in the middle - Bazz.ani has now $Witched to a three guard offense. The addition of the sharpshooting Coleman this semester. who joins Brace Lowe and \Vashington in the backcourt. made the move possible. may be a contradiction in terms, but the best way to describe the UB Bulls' ( 10-9) basketball season thus far is to say that it"s been cont sistently inconsistent. For example, take last wee1c 's 91 -85 loss to little University of PittsburghBradford . "That loss was the toughest one to swallow this year," said Head Coach Dan Bazzani. "We should have won. We had better talent. but we showed no effort on defense. " We took them too lightly," he added . " We aren~ good enough to take anyone lightly." That frustrating loss came less than two weeks after what could possibly be called UB's biggest win in years. a 7570 defeat of Potsdam College on their home 'Court . The win snapped the Bears· 53-game home court winning streak and was only their second loss of the seaso n. C urrentl y, Potsdam is ranked ninth nationally in Division Ill. "This team has teased me. " noted Bazzani. "We've played well in spots, but then come right back down to earth the next night. It's been a real rolle r coaster ride, but that's typical of a yollng team." A s he lo ok s bac k o n rhe y ear. B az· T an up and down performance by his young cagers, one needs only to o ill ustrat e Bazz.a ni's contention of look at the stat sheet. On one hand , the Bulls boast foor of five starters with scoring averages in double figures - a sure sign of good balance, patient offense, and, yes, consistency. But, on the other hand , only one of the first nine players on the team is shooting better than 50 per cent from the field - a mark of poor shot selection, hurried shooting, and, yes. inconsistency. Despite those two polar opposites, the Bulls have managed to string together some impressive outings, for instance their four out of five wins from January 3-12. However, just when the team seems ready to shed its mediocrity, another losing streak comes alo ng, such as the three in _a row from January 13-2 I. H owever. with the ir two victories . both on the road, in the Bulls most rece nt outings, perhaps the team has finally turned the corner and is on its way to respectability. In last Saturday's meeting with Pace University in New Yo rk City, the Bulls gave a gutsy performance to come back from an eight-point halftime deficit and defeat the highly touted home team, 71-{)9. The Bulls, who were led by forward Darryl Hall's 21 points and 16 rebounds, used a pressing man-to-man defense to hold Pace ( JO-{l) to a dismal 30 per cent shooting percentage in the second half. Freshman Ricky Coleman added II points and co-captain Michae l Washington II assists for the Bulls. who continued their poor shooting from the field ; this time averaging just 40 per cent for the game. On the following night, the Bulls once again turned their play up a notch in the second . half and went on to defeat Adelphi University 81-{)9. UB was led by Ed Jones' strong play off the bench and Michael Washington's complete performance at point guard. Jones · finished with 8 points, while Washington added 17 .points and 7 assists. and Hall chipped 111 with 13 points and I I rebounds. The Bulls' victory not only put them over .500 for the season, but also evened their record in the Mideastern Conference at 3-3. urprisingly. Bazzani said that it was the Bulls' good start at the beginS ning of the season that has led to the team's overall inconsistency. "When we scored 120 points against St. Anselm (a 125-120 overtime loss in the opening round of the Keene State Classic) and then blew out Queens College the next night, we thought we were an offensive team," he said . "The truth is, we don~ shoot the ball very well. " The team 's overall average of 45 per cent from the fie ld seems to bear out Bauani's assess ment. Even with ~theinconsistency. Bau.ani remains opti is c about his team and the future of s basketball program. "All in all. I th ink we're about where I ex pected us to be." said Bazzani. " I don't thin k anyo ne really expected us to win this year. The truth is, we're a zani said he could see both positives and negatives. " We had hoped for a few more wins," he said . " But , we did steal a couple games which we had no right winning. "The effort has been there all year ... he continued . " It's been a great team to work with."' The Bulls return to Alumni Arena February 2 for a game with LeMoyne College. 0 good. no. an outstanding Division Ill team that is playing a Division II schedule.

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

Last year Time magazine named her one of the nation's 20 best college 11 ude nts. She was recently one of two fi nalists nominated by New York State lor the Rhodes Scholarship. :-low she's done it again. Daphne Bascom has become the first SUNY ,tuden t ever to be awarded the presti"ous Marshall Scholarship. The award pays full tuition for two or three years at any British university she chooses an d includes a stipend for living c\penses. The Marshall Scholarships were e,tablished by the British government m 1953 to honor the late U.S. Secretary of State, George C . Marshall, "hose " Marshall Plan" helped rebuild furo pe after World War H. Although she was obviously a gl>od contender, Bascom did not expect to "m the prize. She had narrowly missed "mning the Rhodes Scholarship, and had actually entered both contests, ..JUSt to see what would happen," she S said. Winning the Marshall Scholarship has taken a lot of pressure off Bascom. She is a biology major, and until the prize was announced, she had been planning to go straight to medical school. For the moment, she can forget about those stressful medical school interviews. What has she been doing instead? " Recl!perating," she sighed. She's been spend_ing time with her famil y wht.eh at Urnes, she said, has taken a back seat to her studies. She's been reading, or going to the library, which she loves. And she's been playing with her computer. B Daphne Bascom: headed for Britain. ascom 's successes have brought her a great deal of celebrity. How does she feel about that? "YUK!" exclaimed Bascom. She is ve ry modest about her ~mplishments, and prefers to stress the~r tmponance to the UB Honors Program and to future students. An important benefit of having won the scholarship, said Bascom, is that it proves SUNY students can compete for the most prestigious awards. For Bascom herself, the award means postponement _of her plans to attend medical school, and the chance to travel abroad for the first time. · " Medical school will always be there for me," said Bascom. The award will also enable Bascom to do something that many students in the sciences miss out on enurely - study the humanities. It's not definite, but Bascom is thinking about studying the classics while in Britain. She is an avid reader, has enjoyed undergraduate cotirses in the humanities, and would lilr.e to learn more about issues in literature, history, and art. Bascom never has been the stereotypical nerd whose only joy in life is a good report card. In high school she ran track as a short- to middle-<listance runner, and went to both the State championships and the Empire State Games. "Nobody can learn everything," Bascom noted, but when people in medicine get together, they often talk about anything but that. Bascom is already well-rounded enough to avoid that fate - the Marshall Scholarship is just the icing on the cake. 0 can' AIDS incident elsewhere doesn't alarm UB researchers By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO A careful worker in a National Cancer Institute lab became infected with the AIDS virus he "as working with. But that repon doesn't alarm UB researchers because they don't work with the live A IDS vi rus, explains Marie-Louise Hammarskjold, M .D., Ph.D., assistant profe sor of microbiology. Even hospital workers shouldn't be alarmed by the report, she noted. The mfccted lab worker bandied solutions that we re 1,000 times more concentrated than the bll>od or semen of a person who bas AIDS. Hammarskjold emphasized that the co ncentration of the solution makes a big difference. People working with co ncentrated solutions get exposed to a higher number of virus parttcles more ofte n. The re hasn't been a single case of a la b worker contracting the illness from carefully handling only dilute solutions of Vtrus, she noted. T he recent report of the infected lab worker is believed to be the fmt instance in which a researcher was infected · by the AIDS virus he was working with, d.Spite having followed all recommended safety precautions. The incident was reported m the journal Sc~nce. A research team made the discovery in the course of a two-year srudy of I 5 labs in six nates. Of the 99 workers studied who handled highly concentrated virus, only one was infected , Hammarskjold pomted out. "So the risk is very low," she said . Researchers at UB don' have to be fearful of a similar occurrence here because "as far as I know, nobod y at the University works with live virus," Hammarskjold said. She is one of . the UB researchers working under a number of AIDS grants, including a $4 million; threeyear grant from the National lnstitutc:s of H~alth . The research uses recombinant DNA technology and doesn' need the live AIDS virus.

That message comes from Getald R. Shields, assistant dean of the UB School of Information and Library Studies (SILS). In years gone by, librarians were perceived to be somewhat passive, perhaps uttering an occasional ~shhh ..." to noisy patrons. But in their present day role as custodians of information, they are apt to say loudly, ~Get a court order! ..

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

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

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

"Just about anyone can get a subpoena," he noted, ~but to get a court order, the applicant must show cause."

Besides the incident here, Shields said be knew of only two other recent incidents in New York State - at Columbia and New York University. from Iraq.

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

Shields is""''':Tin in his belie( that access to libruy materials, under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, must be available to all ·Americans, including minors. He holds to tbe American Libruy Association's stance that, in tbe cue of minors, only parents cao restrict• ihcir children - and only their own children - from access to tibrary materials. He says it's not up to librarians to monitor what children see or read. · Shields reminded that the contents of a school or pubtic tibrary usually are determined by an administrator or administrative body, such as' a school board, that authorizes acquisition of books, videotapes, newspapers, magazines, and other informatJonal items. Legislative...bodies, be continued, set the moral and ethical standards, and courts, when called upon, determine whether tibraries are adhering to the standards. Nowhere in this process, Shields asserted, should librarians be called upon to "censor, ban or classify" a library's informational resources. In reference to classifying information, Shields recalled· the stocy, many years ago, of a youth who described in a scholastic paper how to construct a hydrogen bomb. The Y!'Uth ~osed at the time that tbe information be needed to create such a bomb all came from unclassified libruy materials. The Atomic -Energy Commission . tried, IIJIIUCCCSSfully, to censor the youth 'I ;paper. "lt aefinitely wasn't up to a librarian to mooitor this or any other penon's activity," Shields commented. "It would be an endless wk." 0 �January 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 14 ....--- Dr. Kornel Terplan, noted pathologist, dead at age 93 D r. Kamel Ludwig Terplan, 93, former chairman of the Pathology Depanment in the School of Medicine, died Nov. 21 at his new home in Sonnma, Calif. He taught two generations of medical students and was renowned for his studies of children's brain development. He had lived in Buffalo from 1930 to last June and had continued his brain research and pan-time teaching until a little more than a year before his death. Dr. Terplan was attracted to UB in 1930 by Dr. Carl Cori (then a young UB faculty member; later a Nobel Prize laureate). He, in tum, recruited several of the medical luminaries who led the University to prominence in bacteriol· ogy and microbiology. He attracted, for example, Ernest Witebsky and Erwin Neter to Buffalo, and that put UB "on the map" in those fields. This distinguished tradition that Dr. Terplan helped establish has continued. Until well into his 90s, Dr. Terplan continued to contribute his talents to the medical community. He remained the director of the Brain Pathology Lab at Children's Hospital and was consultant pathologist to several hospitals. In the Brain Lab, which be operated for 55 years, he spent his later yean; establishing a Pathology Museum for Children's Hospital and UB, working to catalog a collection of 120,000 slides.· Born in 1894 in Austria-Hungary, Terplan earned his bachelor's (summa cum laude) in 1912 from the. Humanistic Lutheran Gymnasium in Transylvania. He received his M.D. from the German University of Prague in 1919, one year before Carl Cori graduated from the school. He stayed there to become associate professor of pathology. "My first II years in the worldfamous pathology depanmeht were in relative isolation doing research," he used to say. One of his leisure activities then was mountain climbing and skiing in the Austrian Dolomites. In 1930, he recei>ed two invitations, one from Buffalo and another from "a very good university in Germany." "I was interested in the German position and they liked me, too." But the German chainnan, interestingly, recommended tbo.t the young Terplan go to the U.S. " B'ad times are coming soon," he told Dr. Terplan. That was enough to change his mind , "and so Terplan accepted UB's invitation. "I wouldn\ have lasted long in Germany because of Hitler. I would have left anyway. Besides, I felt much more at home teaching in Buffalo than in Prague." erplan first became known for his T research on TB, initiated in Prague. Among his several dozen TB anicles, autOimmunization.

Among his other achievements, be was: the most imponant work followed his bout and recovery from the disease in 1938, after which he gained international attention by being the first to determine and analyze the pathogenesis of recurrent TB in children. Terplan pioneered not only in TB, but also in Hodgkin's disease and thyroiditis. His dozen or so articles on Hodgkin's disease are widely quoted. He was proud .of being coresearcher with Witebsky on chronic thyroiditis and • discoverer of the detrimental effect on the intestinal tract of antibioticresistant staphylococci, caused by overuse of antibiotics, • first to describe exactly how brain damage in children with congenital hean disease can result f rQm catheteriation and su,rgery, • widely quoted for original work on genetic abnormalities trisomies 13, 17, and 18, • one of the first to describe fatal hypoglycemia in children due to insullin shock., • one of the first to describe the effects of laetrile intoxication on the brain, and • founder of the Buffalo Society of Pathologists. In addition to his research, Dr. Terplan 's leadership had a great effect on pathology in Buffalo. He was chairman of UB's Pathology Depanment for 26 years (1934-1960) and chief pathologist for Children's and Buffalo General hospitals for 30 years. During those decades he promoted the idea of full-time Medical School appointments ... so professors could devote time to teaching and research.... 0 94 from UB named to 'Who's Who Among Students' he 1988 edition of Whos Who Among Studmts in Am~rican Univ~rsit~s and CoUeges will include the names of 94 students from UB who have been selected "" natio nal campus leaders.

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

Friday - Soundprint - A new half-hour documentary se rie s, hosted by NPR's John Hockenberry , which will investigate, illuminate, reflect and celebrate subjects and places that make up our national experience. Soundprinr presents a special two-pan documentary, " Remembering Anne Frank," based on the book titled ~nne Frank Remembered: The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide rhe Fnnk Family, by Miep Geis with Allison Gold. Miep Geis protests that she is not specia l, that she was merely one of more than 20,000 Dutch people who helped hide Jews and others in need of hiding. Miep Geis is one of the last survivors of the small group who conspired to save Anne Frank and her companions. Besides their shared affection, Anne a'nd Miep shared a profound experience, and now Miep Gies has told that story from an aduk perspective. This two-part program includes BBC news dips of the period, and features d ramatic readi ngs from Geis' book by Anjelica Huston, as well as interviews with Miep Geis and her husband, Jan.

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

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

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

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

That was not the case with the boat lift. tiad Cheati11g: there's a lot of talk; not much hard evidence By ANTHONY CHASE t seems as if 'everybody knows somebody who has cheated on an exam. Especially now, at exam time, cheating seems to be on a lot of people's minds. Apparently, no formal study has been done on just bow rare or widespread cbeati~g is at UB - at least ~ot recently. Still, there are those like Dori. a U8 sophomore, who believe that cheating is common enough that "'in a large class you can assume that people will cheat. and they11 usually &et away with it." ~oh sure," said another student, ~A lot of times a whole group will sit around one smart kid, and just copy answers." Often the techniques are more sophisticated. Barbara Sherman, a lecturer in Engineering and Applied Sciences, found out about cheating the hard way. She caught a "ringer" taking one of her exams. A ringer takes . an exam for someone else either as a favor or for cash. As a result of this experience, Sherman · now assigns seats in the exam room, puts names on each exam ~ in advance, and in some cases requires lltudeots to provide identifiCation. She bas also established a cbed.out ~ dare to ensure that tbe same ~~ ' I who took au exam is the one wbo hands it in. As the clean of Undergraduate Academic Services, Walter Kunz &ets involved wbenever a complaint about cheating becomes formal. K unz confirms that most of the information "Most of the information about cheating at UB is anecdotal. In fact only about a dozen cases of cheating are pursued formally each ye?f .... " tal level. Perhaps cheaters are just not being caught, or cheating is being ignored. here are some, like Howard Foster, associate dean in the School of T Management. who are in cl ined to believe the latter. Foster feels that University policy does nothing to discourage cheating. When the issue is formalized , Foster noted, the committee usually decides that "the student has suffered enough." Failure, said Foster, is usually the only punishment. ... There is effectively nothing you can ·do beyond faj ling the student," said Foster. Students undoubtedly cheat because they are already failing, he notes, so Umversity policy makes cheating worth a try. Foster questions the not io n that students who get caught have suffe'!'d enough. : It becomes a game," says Foster. "First of all, they are surprised when we choose to pursue the issue. ' My God, you're taking this so seriowiJ;_,' tbey say." Foster opined that if the cheating were liD isolated act of desperation, tbe lltudeots would be more contrite when ~1. Instead be finds that students become indignant. -rbey. set lawyers.- W.e &et fought tooth and nail,- FOSler said. Foster conteods that. for many, cheating is a loo&time behavior. Don' students wbo resort to cheating as a way to avoid failure feel humiliated by the experience? Their_ classmates think not. "No way,- says Allen, a UB sophomore. "'They bra& lbout it.

A committee of the Faculty of Natu ral Sciences and Mathematics not the college, as in your anicle - has worked on proposals for courses in the sciences and mathematics for students who would not necessarily be expected or req uired to take additional courses in the sciences and mathematics. The Curriculum Committee of the College has not yet received their report and recommendation ~ . but the preliminary indication that I had received (thus it is not so me tightly guarded secret that wou ld have been kept from you) is that there would be two math co urses. above and beyond competency ( requirements. designed by math emat icia ns to be max imall beneficial to students wh o e x-p~ct to take no more math th an that. Wh o kn ows, they might include a curriculum broad enough to go also int o mat hemat ics other th an calculus. I would ho pe so. Wh at review might such pro posal s be expected to ex perie nce? How can we kn ow'? We ca n. at least. educate a guess by ta king the exa mple of the proposed course called Wo rld Civilization. A committee of fac ulty who might be ex pected to teach the course prepared the concept of the course and explained its rational e a nd developed detailed versions of the course syllabus (a ll in a nice and widel y ci rculated lOb-page repon). This was discussed with and approved by the College Curriculum Co mmittee. It was brought before the College General Assembly. It is then to be brought to the Faculty Senate. In other word s, we all know that all road s lead to the Faculty Senate; there's no escape, nor even an y desire to avoid the Faculty Senate. So why should you dream that other curriculum pro posals that the College sees as a pan of its effons to establish improved undergraduate ed ucation on this campus would seek to avoid the Senate? Did you not ice th at word "establish" in the preceding se ntence?' So, don' rush to fright , Nic. Check to find out if your recollections of conversations accord with what is happening. Don't dream up the worst of all possible worlds and then convince yourself yo u need to be threatened by those dreams. Don' assume that those of us who have indicated a willingness to work within the framework of the Undergraduate College wo uld reject you or others of our colleagues if you or they told us of an interest to join us. Don't ass ume th at an y of us wants to avoid or circumvent the Faculty Senate. Try moving arou nd the campus and getting a view other than the one you're getting from Diefendorf Hall. You may discover that some of the "exotic confections" that you are seeing from th ere are, in fact . impossi ble to fi nd . You will also find that yo ur throat is in much Jess danger th a n yo u see m to 0 fear. I -PAUL H. REITAN Department of Geology s_one who never formall y progressed beyond high school mathematics, I take issue with Dr. Goodman's assertion th at there is no need nor reason fo r an Undergraduate College course in mathematics for non-maj ors. Even if inability to learn mathematics is because one is unable to use formal rigor and Quantitative precision, I do not believe this deficiency is a bar to understanding the concepts in volved in applying formal rigor to analysis of a particular sit uation. As a dental clinician and scientist I have found t hat if one understand s how mat he matician s th ink one is able to consult with colleagues in that discipline. to see whether the ir ex pertise ca n help o ne solve clinical pro blems.

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

There was a ume not so many decades ago when yo u co uld no t get a degree from a reaso nable university witho ut taki ng so me co llege mathematics. If the Undergraduate College recomme nds that all undergraduates should take so me course in the " mathem atical sciences, " then that wou ld, rightl y. I think , be putt ing the cloc k back to a better time in undergraduate educauon. I find it sad that Professor Goodman espouses the opinion that some students, ot herwise wonhy of a colkgc educatio n, just can"t pass a cou r:sc m_ college mathematics. I don"t believe tt. What may be true is that, given the parlous state of high school mathematics education, some, eve n many students arrive here unable to pass a college mathematics course without prior remedial (and , I wo uld hope, non-<:redit) courses. A beltef '" the inabili ty of students to learn mathematics is really nothing more tha n a desire to accept the misera~l e state of precollege education in th1s country.

"We try to help the students make a smooth adjustment. •• These efforts have been aided recently by a grant from the U.S. Information Agency (U .S.I.A.) that helps provide "enculturation .. programs for intematioilal students. • T UB became a part of the SUNY system he committee has been offering assistance to foreign students since in 1962.

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

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

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

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

Soon, however, the same student was asking more renective questions: .. Con- trast water hitting hard rock with waves rolling up on a beach of sand. Contrast the difference between waves which hit a beach straight on and those which hit at a particular angle." Slowly, students begin to probe, analyze and stretch their intellects. They also begin to anticipate the questions that the discipline is asking and will ask in the future, say LTL proponents. The program is not akin to tutoring, which does not have the long~term "regenerative" power LTL claims to have for motivated students. This is because it builds a self-<:onfidence tha:t lasts, say LTL officials.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still others have no idea of what th e colleges were or arc. The colleges were formed in 1966 as an opportunity to integrate lcarnmg into daily living. The programs. whi ch were de sig nated by letters of the alphabet. did not lead to maJ ors o r degrees. Instead . th ey enabled stud ents to ex:ami ne an iss ue or theme. such as health or environmental issues. through interdisciplinary stud y.

For a lo ng time. the program was very successfuL By 1983, however. in response to the colleges' loss of energy and d irection. a Colleges Task Force Committee pro· posed that each college find adm inis trative sponsorship.

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

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

The members of the collegium are con~erned ~ however , that the public lf!lpresston that the college system is in dtsarray gives Jhe University community a negative view of the individual units •. said Roben Arciere, academic coordmator of the mathematicaJ sciences program. The Clifford Furnas program, after an initial dive. is at last beginning to make strides under Student AITairs. Two colleges have not fared well thro ugh reo rganization . According to th ose involved. Rachel Carson College is in danger of extinction . The Black M o untain Program has lost its performa nce se ri es a nd its faculty has been diSpersed.

D,.Yden does not sec the decline of the colleges as something sudden. ·•starti ng in 1976 we had annual budget decreases. We eliminated programs on an annual basis."

The colleges did not transform the entire undergraduate curriculum . though their contribution has been enduri ng and significant. "The colleges cannot exist as they did in the '60s," says Dryden.

Noble Jr. . Ph .D .. who served as an expert in a recent federal court case challenging the quality of care for mentally retarded members of soc1ct y. believes that the da ys of mental institutions arc numbered . A professor of social work and reha- bilitation medicine at U B. Noble vie ws the traditional mental institution as a place where patients are ··given a bed" and are stripped of their right to function as members of society. "Mentally retarded children arc placed in such institution~.·· Noble observed in an interview. "and arc all but forgotten as the y reach adulthood. still without hope or help ." Noble went so fa r as to observe that every mental institution recl!iving federal financial supp ort is a ··sitting duck" for forced closure if "j udged by the letter of federaJ law and regulations . .. A former assistant commissio·ner of the Department of Mental Health a nd Mental Retardation in Virginia, in charge of policy and research. Noble joined the School of Social Work here as a faculty member in 1985. It was in this capacity th at he served recently in Tulsa. Oklahoma, as a court-appointed expert in a federal case known as Homewa rd Bound vs. the Hi ssom Memorial Ce nte r. In a ruling July 24. Judge James 0 . Ellison of the U.S. District Court fo r the Northern Dist rict of Oklahoma ruled that all 450 resident s of the Hissom Center. near Tulsa, must be removed from that mental institution over a four-year period and be relocated in the comm uni ty, with the state providing specific programs of support . T he sta te is appealing the decision . T he Ellison d ecision specifies that 75 of the residents be rele ased from Hissom the fi"t year and 125 in each of the s ucceeding three yea rs. The deci sion also calls upon the state to provid e needed services for an estimated 1,500 fo rmer Hi sso m resident s living in nursing homes , private ho mes, and elsewhere. Noble was o ne of four experts who provided co nsu ltati o n to the court over a two-week period. The ot her three experts represented each of the three principals in th e case Homeward Bound . the group of parents which brought the laws uit to have their ch ildren removed from th e Hissom Ce nter on grou nd s of inadequate care: the State of Oklahoma. which d efended "Those institutions receiving federal funding are sitting ducks for closure. " th e Hissom o pera ti on. and a group of paren ts opposed to the closing of Hissom. All three panies agreed with the se lection of Noble to serve as the financiaJ expert in the case. The Hissom verdict was announced by Judge Ellison following the twoweek period of consultation involving himself and the fo ur experts. The co nsultation period climaxed the trial itself. and, earlier, months of joust ing in the co urtroom. In announcing his verdict. Ellison said he was "very pleased" with the process o f consultation with the experts. .. The experts ... the judge commented. .. were non-partisan in the expression of their opinons and often spoke of issues in a manner that did not reflect their clients' views . They were totall y honest with me." The Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP}, which assisted the plaintiff in the case. noted that the judge's findings o n conditions at the Hissom Center ""recite a litany familiar to all of us." Cited were human regressio n and deterioration; denial of adequate food. clothing and medical care; lack of necessary habilitativc programs; dangerous feeding practices: lack of adeq uate sanita tion; injury and abuse. and what was termed the pervasive harm of segregation. T he remedial pl an, as developed by the court, calls upon the state to provide supportive programs in carrying out these goals: • H issom children will li ve with natural or adoptive families or. if necessary. with a foster family. • Adults who are incapable of Jiving by themselves will live in group homes con taining no more than six resident s with mental disabilities . • All child ren will be educated in public schoo ls and aU adults will be trained for employment. no matter how severe their handicaps. S tat e su pport mandated by the court includes payment for: • Aides who work in the home to help care for persons with mental retardati o n. • Training and cou nse lin g for parents. • Specialized baby-sitting services to allow parents or other caretakers time off. • Provision of wheelchai" and other adaptive equipment needed by persons with mental retardation who also have physical disabilities. • .. Reasonable" architectural re novation of family homes to accommodate wheel chairs and o t her s pecial equipment. • Physical therapy. speeial educatiOn. and ~ any other therapy or training for a person with mental retardatio n who needs such assistance to li ve as independent ly as possible. • Transportation to school. work. and recreational faCilities. • Assignment of case managers with no more than 10 assigned cases each. • A sys tem of checks to insure that there is nO abuse. s the designated financial expert in the Hissom case. Noble advised the court that the 'recommended state assistance program would cost less in the long run than the cost of ope rating the Hissom Center. More specifically. Noble presen ted figures showing that the cha ngeo ve r - closing H issom and esta blis hmg state assistance programs - would cost the state an additio nal $2 million in each of the first two years. but would save S2 millio n each yea r thereafter. As for any dangers to socie ty in a non·insti tmional setting. Noble pointed o ut in response to an inte r view question that person s classified as mentally retarded. or developmentall y di sabled. pose no more risk to society than persons who might be rated as "normal. .. Such individua ls. he added. "'sometimes just can't look after themsel ves socially unless they receive the proper assistance ... On the other hand, he further explained. persons with mental illness. as opposed to retardation, may develop "dist urbed thinking" which could put them .. o ut of touch with reality ." Schizophrenics and manic-depressives are in this category. Noble pointed o ut. and such individuals require somewhat different .kinds of treatment and care than persOns wi th mental retardation . Care for mentally ill persons. he explained, must be determined on an individual basis. with short -term hospitalization offering relief in times of acute crisis. The Hi ssom case .

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

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

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

D Hair today, gone tomorrow: officers have to shave By FRAI\IK BAKER air today, gone tomorrow is fhe most appropriate way to describe a new directive from SUNY headquarters to Public Safety officers at UB. As of Nov. 25. any UB Public Safety officer sporting a beard was expected to shave it in order. to comply with a new policy prohibiting beards. ..

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

Kreger added that "some agencies have even filed law suits over the same so rt of policy and won. I don"t know if we 'd go that far. though.'" Regardless of which course of action the union takes, Kreger doesn' want to see a lot of hair-splitting over the policy. In fact, he has come up with his own solution to the problem. "l"d like to see a policy that allows those officers who have beards now to k""P them, but forces new officers to comply and not have beard s .'" he said. · D �December 3, 1987 Volume 19, No. 12 Hanlon named to task force on life and law D enise Hanlon. a clinical instruc!or in Graduate Nurse Education. has been appointed by Governor Mario Cuomo to the New York State Task Force on I 1fe and the Law.

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

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

Rather. it's in what Food Service Associate Director Donald Bozek calls "a holding pattern .· In other words. don't try to get a beer at the Rat on a Friday until after Thanksgiving break . That's because the Faculty Student Associa ti on, Food Service's parent organization. has run into problems involving the sale of alcohol. .. It's a technicality, .. noted Bozek . .. FSA was making money at an event where alcohol was being served - even though FSA wasn\ the one selling the beer." FSA thought they had legal problems far behind them when they started the Friday afternoon "happy hour" at the Rat Oct. 2. Earlier, they had created an entire co rporation in an attempt to get around the red tape associated with obtain ing an insurance policy to cover sale of alcohol. Instead of FSA selling alcohol. and not being able t o obtain enough insUTance to cover its assets, the association decided to form a separate non-profit organization, the Center for Tomorrow Corp. (CFT), with limited assets that could be covered. Unfortunately, that's where the technicality comes into play. It seems that although FSA in no way handled the sale of alcohol in the Rat , they did make money , albeit a small amount. off the happy hour. The law says that smce FSA was doing the advertising for and sellin,~: food at an event at which alcohol was being served. then they were indirectly making money off the sale of alcohol. said Bozek - a technical violation. However, there is good news for beer drinkers . Bozek said FSA has 'lound yet another way to get around the red ta~ involved in selling beer. .. lf we can get an organization to sponsor the happy hou r each week, then we can continue to serve alcohol,"' said Bozek . .. That way it's a customer U Alan E. Gober Not all his work appears in print, illustrator says "I By JIM McMULLEN Ve done thousands of covers for Time magazine. Only one has run . But , what the hell ," remarked illustrator Alan E. Cober in a reunt public lecture in Baird Recital Hall. Cober. an internationally renowned illustrator, is currently visiting profes- sor of ilJustration ar UB. Cober cited Pablo Picasso. ToulouseLautrec, and George Grosz, among others, as influ ential in th e development of his style. " I was once described as 'a little sketch artist- joked Cober. whose illustrations have appeared in Life, Newsweek. Time. Sports Illustrated. and Rolling Stone magazines. His most recent assignment was covering the Pope's tour of America for Rolling Stone. Nearly 300 othe r traveling writers, photographers. and illustrators also followed the Pope. In Los Angeles there were over 2.000 members of the press. Cober didn\ do many sketches there. "I'm getting too old for that stuff," he quipped. His talk was illustrated with numerous slides of his work. The slides displayed an incredible diversity of styles in Caber's work. His trademark, however, is a unique style that sets him apan from other illustrators. "When I sketch a person. it's like I'm from Mars and have never seen a person before. I stan with the head. and then the head gets too big. so I stan pushing up from the feet in order to fit the whole body in." After one politician saw Cobe r's drawing of him, he said ''You can't use that. The public's going to think I'm a midget. Now. I know ir isn'r true, and y ou know it, but they don't know it. .. Asked whether he tries to present a panicular message with his illustrations, Cober replied, .. Not always ... "What is the message supposed to be. anyway? How is it defined?"' he asked . .. 1 consider myself a visual journalist. but , hey. I'm drawing. You do ideas very often. and, yes. at times you do have to convey a message. "I do art when I can do an . Tht rest of the time I make a living. Sometimes you have to do shit for the shitskies. Lots of times you have constraints placed on you by your clients, but it happens less and less to me nowadays . "A lot of illustration is done from the heart . That's how I approach it," he added. Asked what his future plans are, Cober replied, "I used to set goals for myself, but lately I've become complacent. I guess 111 have to set myself a project and work o n it one of these days." 0 2222 Public Safety5 Weekly Report The following Incidents..,. reported to the o.p.rtment of Public Safety botwHn Ocl 30 end Hoot. 6: • A woman reponed that while stK was on the third floor of Lockwood Library Oct. 3 I. a man exposed himself. • Two bap, containing clolhing, cash. credit cards, and personaJ papers, wt=re reponed mW:ing Oct. 30 from AJumni Arena.

" Bozek said that in order for a group to sponsor an event, they must pay fo r a S35 alcohol catering permit and do all the advertising. .. Any time we have a sponsor. well hold the event," Bozek said. ... We've basically been covering costs so far," he said ... We never intended it lO be a big money-maker ... just a break..:ven type of thing. Despite that rather bleak history. beer at the Rat did show some signs of life on the one recent Friday when a group did sponsor the event. In the future , Bozek said that Friday beer sales at the Rat will depan a bit from its previous form . For instance . instead of selling beer only from 4-{, p.m,, CFT will leave it up to \he organJz.atton sponson ng the eve nt to set the timetable. .. We don't want to have anything that will get o ut of hand ," noted Bozek . "Beer may be back after Thanksgiving, if sponsors for happy hour can be found. .. But we're perfectly willing to provide the service anytime after 3 o'clock. and go unt il whenever the organization wants us to ... Bozek added that FSA 's policy of providing groups with alcohol and food at other sponsored events. such as Talbert bullpen concerts and wine and cheese parties, will continue to exist in its same form . Any groups interested in hiring either FSA or CFf to cater their next event should co ntact Bill Regan at CFT, Dawn Brannan at the Rath skeller, or Bozek . 0 AIDS from page I termed , .. The most serious questions any university - SUNY and its sister campuses across the nation - must address" and offered his answers. Haffner said the Universit y's role in dealing with the AIDS epidemic should not be limited to interaction with students. .. We are dealing with a world-wide crisis of unparalleled proportions that defies even the best of eptdemiologicaJ projections, .. he warned . . ...Therefore, ~n addition to emphasizmg the necesstty for chan~ed lifestyles among its st udents, the Umversity must reach out to all and underscore tho need for compassion and tolerance to ~hose who have been stricken, because. m the final analysis, a lack of compasston and lack of tolerance may be as dangerous to society as the AIDS virus itself." Other points raised by Haffner: • On the metter or students and faculty who teat "aero-positive," or who actually have AIDS: "If students are capable of being educated, o ur obligation is to teach. If a faculty or staff member can perform his or her work, that should be our only concern. This is not a disease that is transmitted by casual contact. Nor is it airborne. As a matter .of practicality, a .person who is seriously ill is not ~otng to be at college. Therefore, there as no need to bar persons who are seropositive or who have AIDS." • On dormitory accommodations: .. The student may elect to have a separate room or live: off campus as an individual decision , but the Universit y shou ld not attempt to separate him or her arbitrarily because there is no danger from casual contact." • On the University's being proactively Involved In testing lor AIDS: "'"Except at University hospitals, the University should not be involved in pro-active testing for AIDS. The reason is that existing testing stations are quite competent and are sensitive to the need for counseling before testing and after the tests are received and communicated to the individual." • On the reason AIDS II so lundamentally different from other aerlousd~Man: "Because it attacks young adults, beeause it kills everyone it attacks, and because we know bow to prevent it but we don't k.now how to cure it ... Haffner concluded, ... there is a need for university leadership across the country to speak. out on this great isiue. Universities always have had a role in helping to define what great societies should do and how they should behave. "When this period of history is written, wben this crisis has ended, this society will be jud$ed in pan by what tlS leadership and tts intelligentsia had advised it to do." 0 �November 19, 1987 Volume 19, No. 11 Senate asked to tackle phys ed issue again Edward Fine of Neurology suggested that C PR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) be a required part of physical education. Michael noted that 20 years ago. first aid was part of a health requirement that has si nce been abolished. He said he su pports the idea of req uiring first aid instruction. By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he Facully Senate should tackle the issue of the physical education requirement one more time, said John Boot. chairman of the senate. At Tuesday's meeting. Boot called on the senate to pass some sort of a resolution next semeste r on whether the physical education requirement should be abolished. He leans toward doing away with the requirement, he said. which is what sister instit utions are doing. He will invite Nelson Townsend. the new athletic director. to discuss the issue with the Faculty Senate. Boot said. Last year, the provost suggested that the requirement be dropped since UB no longer has an undergraduate physical education degree program. There is a high demand for courses and l n inadequate number of staff. If the req uirement were dropped, the teachin g staff could be reallocated to coaching. intramural, and recreation supervision. Instead , two Faculty Senate committees recommended that the University keep the requirement and add extra resources, specifically four more job "lines," Boot said. However, th e Faculty Senate as a who le was unwilling to support either adding more resources or abolishing th e requirement, and left the situation as it was. Boot explained . T listed _many problems with the H• ecurrent sttuauon: Students often get into phys· can~ ical ed ucation co urses until they're seniors, which defeats the purpose of the requirement. PhysicaJ educa tion is supposed to whet st udents' ap~tites for recreational skills th at they can carry through life. so mething that is better done in the earlier years of college. Boot noted . • When students can get into classes. they take whatever is open, which may not be the course they want. • If students know the ropes and get hold of a good advisor, the requirement is waived . .. Since available places in ph ysical education classes are at a premium, such waivers are often in the interest of the ins titution as well." Boot said ... T o be sure. waivers are not automatic. but the y can be obtained rat her more easily than annulments from the Catholic I Senate Chair John Boot (left) and Ed Michael (above) of Athletics at Tu esday's Senate meetin g . C hurch ." Boot said he was told that in so me cases, the University denies a wai ve r and will actually delay graduation. • Adding lines won~ solve the problem ; facilities are al so at a premium . E d Michael of the Division of Athletics said four extra lines we re specified beca use that many peop le would be needed to provide the co urses to students in the ir first two years. The problem with waivers is mm imal. he contended . About 10 student~ a year have a pro blem fulfillin g the requ irement. They're allowed ,to fulfill the '"philosophy .. of the requirement and graduate on time. It 's no differen t than what oth er academic departments do . he contended . Whether student s can complete the requirement is only one point that need s to be co ns idered , said William Miller of De ntistry . The seco nd is whethe r th e physical education req uirement should be part of an educat ional program . Miller contends that whether yo u participate in sports depends more on peer pressure than on what you're taught in school. He gave the example of hi s so ns. One wouldn't touch sports. though it was required in sc hoo l. Now he cycles co mpetui vcly and run s. Another son had a 4.0 ave rage 1n college excep t fo r a grade of 2.0 in bowling. If ph ysical educatio n 1s req uired . it should at least be taken pass fail and not affect one's academic reco rd . Miller said . Calvin Ruch1e of Chemis trv asked whether it's true that co urses ar~ taug ht by professio nals wi t h a co mmercial in terest in the class . Michael of the DIV ISion of Athlet ics said that the onl y case at thi s time is in a sc ub a course. - but th at t he situation has been rcctif1cd . T he professional wanted th e: studen ts to bu y onl y th e eq uipment he sold. n other business : • Boot complained about ticketing of parked cars. In one case, a car parked legally was given a ticket. It 's costly to fig ht a ticket, he noted . In anot her case, a visitor to an evening poetry reading at Baird parked ou tside the white lines and was ticketed . Boot argues that there was no real harm to t raffic mobilit y. and the visitor s h o uldn~ ha ve been ticketed . It's hard to get visitors to th is forbidding campus in the first place. he said . .. The ultimate aim of ti cketing is not that no one ever parks in violation. but tha t socie ty moves smoothl y:· he said . No purpose is served by tic ketin g cars at locations and times where no harm is done. Michael of the Di vision of Athletics noted that si nce parking is allowed in front of the Recreati on and Athletics Co mplex only unt il 8 p.m.. atldetes have recei ved tickets if an eve nt took longe r than expected. Fine of Neurol~ gy pointed out that people with conditions such as arthritis find swimming helpful, but that a long walk to the parking lot in the cold night air defeats the purpose . • On the issue of the Statistics Department. Boot noted that some people say 1ha1 proced ural e rrors mad e- by ad mini strawrs do not take away from the substance of th eir case. But the procedure and substance arc Inext ricabl y linked . he argued . Wrong informat io n was prese nted at a closed meeting on April 8. Since th en. the errors ha ve been acknowledged. though quietly. Boot said . But so me still belie ve th e information was correct - it has poiso ned minds. The admission of Ph .D. stud ents was sto pped for a year. and if the process of re viewi ng the department is dragged o ut. adm issions will be stopped for another year. he said . • There was a moment of silence for Milton Plesur. professor of history. 0 who rece ntl y died . Undergrad college headed for failure, Goodman feels he Undergraduate College is viewed as si mply a reincarn ation of the old general education commi ttee and it will fail for the same reaso ns general education failed. Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics feels . His statements were prompted by a discussion of the proposed bylaws of the Unde rgraduate College at last week's Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. The Undergraduate College has very little support in Natural Sciences, he said. The college creates an .. in-group" or clique of people who feel that they're more co ncerned about undergraduate education than the rest of the University is, Goodman said. The senior members of the college choose their own successors. There's nothing in the bylaws that says the senior members must consult with the rest of the University, he said. Whatever programs th e senior members attempt will be seen as an imposition, Goodman predicted . People will feel as if they have no sa y, even thqugh the y c.ould become senio r members if they chose to. "The departments are really funda· mental to the Unive rsity," Goodman said.

"There is, by golly, a perceived ineq· uity .... Goodman said ... Those who are devoting less to fres hmen education are getti ng the goods. It promotes resentment." This happens because the plan didn' come o ut of the depanmental st ructure. Goodman insisted. " You11 get participation if it comes orga nically out of the grass roots, and that means tbe departments." he said . The flaw in Goodman's argume nt is that departments are not the grass roots, said George Hochfield of Eng· lish, though he isn't sure what is. The structure of the Undergrad uate College may produce friction, but that's not necessarily bad. he added . .

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

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

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

Juvenile Offender Law ineffective in curbing crime By MILT CARLIN ew York State's Ju ve nile Offender Law has been less successful in curbing crime by yo uth s th an its creators envisioned. That assess ment comes from Simo n I. Singer, Ph .D .. a UB sociologist, who took a long, ha rd look at the law with a fellow resea rcher and found th at it has fa iled to do what it was supp osed to do - serve as a deterrent to juveni le cri me. Besides. Singer observed in an intervi ew. the law, under any ci rcumstances, is fa r too harsh. Assessment of the law as a crime deterrent is based on an 18-month study conducted by Singer a nd David McDowall, Ph.D., a faculty member tn the School of Criminal Just ice at SUNY -Alban y. A grant for the st ud y was provided by the Natio nal Inst itute of Justice, an extension of th e U.S. Justice Depanment. N r ior t o imp lementation of t~e State 's Juvenile Offender Law tn 1978, all accused juvenUe offenders under the age of 'i 6 were sent to Famtly Coun. . .. Singer related that pubhc optn1on at that time questioned the effecttveness of the Family Coun system's dependence on "treatment• rather than .. punishment." The JO Law, it was believed at the time, would effectively put the P brakes on j uve nile crime by ex posing accused offenders to adult-type pun ishment. Noting that 45 other states and the District of Columbia also allow some juveniles to be t ried as adu lts. the researc h repon o bserved : .. New York's law is th e first n o1 to reqoire an ini tial hearing in juvenile co urt." Singer and McD owall al so observed in their repon that New York's JO Law provides "among the most severe penalties for juveniles in the Uni ted States. a nd specifies that all se ntences be served in secure facilities ." The law lowers the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for murder and 14 fo r such cri mes as assault . arson. burglary, kidnapping , and rape. Before the law was enacted. crimi nal res ponsibil ity began at age 16. If co nvicted under the JO Law, the research repon points out, a juVenile offend er is subject to penalties si milar to those for adults . For example. a juvenile convicted of murder faces a minimum sentence of nine years and a maximum of life impriso nment. Under Family Court j urisdiction, the same juvenile could be committed to State eustody for up to only five years maximum. The repon also assesses the .. waiver process" under the Juvenile Offender Law. Although the law provides that accused juvenile offenders can be waived to Family Cou~ Singer and McDowall o bserved. "the ci rcumstan ces in which th is is permitted are very narrow. "The waiver process invo lves a complicated set of cri teria which emphasize public protection. and it leaves the waiver dec is ion with the c rimin al coun judge. "Oth er states a llow serio us juve nile offenders to be 'waived ' upward from the juvenile to the criminal court. In co ntr ast, th e JO Law require s a 'do wnwa rd' waiver, creati ng a heavy p re sumptio n that accused juvenile offenders sho uld be tried as ad ult s ... o assess the effectiveness of th e JO Law in dete rrin g crime, Singer and McDowall analyzed juvenile arrests on a monthl y basis for the 12-year period from January, 1974 , to Decem be r, 1985. Because they fou nd that the law was invo ked to a much greater extent in New York City than in the rest of the State, the researchers pointed out that thei r evaluation of the law stresses its impact on New York City crime. While the study analyzed crime patterns in the entire State, the researchers made clear that less weight was placed upon the upstate data tban on tbe New York City material. · To keep the study from falling victim to any undue surges in crime patterns, arrest records of two control groups T were wove n ant o the final New York Ci ty analysis.

Not necessaril y. h'f said. But he stro n~l y believes that the State's Ju venile Offender Law needs changi ng. For one thing. Singer would reverse th e waive r system. He favors a system, practiced in ot her states. whereby aU JUvenile offender cases begin in Family Co un. Singer conceded t hat j uve nile coun "may be inappro pria te for some teens, .. pan_icularly in cases involving homicide a nd other serio us crimes, but even in such cases he rules o ut any need for maximum securi ty. Terming the JO Law "too harsh" and .. too bureaucratic... he favors revision _ of the stat~.te to allow " discretionary pl a cement of young offe nders in prison.

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

That's because this is the 13th year of the group's existence and may just be: the year that a plan is formalized tL have the University offer a Ph.D . in neuroscience. Neuroscience is defined as any of the branches of science dealing with the embryology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, etc., of the nervous system. H "I'm hopeful that this year will be the one that a framework is formulated for a Ph.D . program that is acceptable both locally and to the State," srud Koenig. "The graduate group adds ao enrichment to each studeoCs program, but there is still the need for a formaliud program." Since its inception, tbe group has afforded a number of graduate students, who have an interest in neuroscience, the opportunity to work in the field with professional neuroscience fa jiulty while still pursuing their intended departmental majors. The group's professors are drawn from the faculties of health, natural, aod social sciences. Members serve as faculty-at - large, representing diverse Edward Koenig interests and expertise in many areas of neuroscience research.

For instance. he has been wo rking on the attempt to get a he an f lung transplant center in Buffalo. That is. in large pan . a patient care lated the graduate group concept. The following year. the Interdisciplinary Graduate Group in Neuroscience received group status. " We were o ne of the original groups." said Koenig. "The idea was to make it easier for students to cross departmental boundaries so they could do thesis work in neuroscience . •• Presently thc_re are three principal ~ethods by whach stude nt s participate tn the group. They take formal courses in !leurobi!llogy, participate in a semmar senes entitled "Horizons in Ne~robiol.ogy ," and partici pate in proJec t -onen ted labora tor y tutorials and / or thesis guidance arranged on the basis of individual neeQ. The se minar series affords the students a special option, noted Koenig. :'Th rough the se minars, which meet twtce a month, students are introduced to le~ders in the field of neuroscience, .. he srud. A uniqu e aspect of the series is that the st udents, as a group, are able to take each speaker out to lunch.

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

Can a person send your res ume or curriculum vita to a third officials are Carole Smith Petro, executive assistant to the president; Charlie imprimatur to proposed proce- and other de ans. He must seek to build dures on the deactivation o r a consensus for his actions in party without yo ur knowledge?"There are deans who do it, Malone said . Judith Hop kins of the Uni versi ty Kaars, assistant vice president for sponsored programs, and Cliff Wilson, be Faculty Senate Execut ive Committee last week gave its discontinuance of academic programs. The procedures ace contained in a report from the Faculty Senate's Academic Planning Committee. The report will be a starting point from which representatives of the Faculty Senate and representatives of the provost's office can form a set of official procedures, said John Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate. The report comes in the wake of the controversy centering around whether programs in tbe Statistics Department should be discontinued and who has the authority to make such decisions. Under the Faculty Senate's proposed procedures: • The dean startS the deactivation or discontinuance process, but must get the advice or approval of a myriad of the affected department. • The recommendation to end a program then goes to the vice provost and provost, who also must consult with various groups. • It finally goes to the president who would .send the recommendation to Albany. • The Faculty Senate would verify that the proper procedures have been followed. Also, the president should get an advisory vote from tbe Faculty Senate Executive Com.mittee and the Faculty Senate that should form part of the documentation the president conveys to Albany. nother topic was brought up by Dennis Malone of Electrical and Computer Engineering: who owns a A Lib1=aries said her resume was included with a grant proposal without her knowledge, and she didn' like it. It implied that she would participate in t~ e grant, but she knew nothing about it. Joan Sulewski of the Sehool of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences said that when she was testifying in a case for another physician, her curriculum vita was sent to the lawyers involved. She believes it bad to have come from the University. The inCident was brought up to the president and tbe only result was a memo to chairs to keep personnel ftles private, Sulewski said. • Three UB offtcials said tbey don' know of any policy on tbe matter. The assistant vice resources. president for human Kaars noted that it wo uld be unethical to submit someone else's resume without aslc.ing. Wilson pointed out that the Personnel Department doesn' release any information from its files on employees. However, tbe resumes of people looking for jobs are circulated at their request. The ~e is not who owns a resume, but what the procedure regarding resumes should be, K.aars and Wilson agreed. In otber business: • Claude Welch of Political Science asked for suggestioos on information that should be included in an updated version of the Faculty/ Staff Handbook. 0 �TOUGH YEAR AWAITS 1 Division Ill team faces a Division II schedule; modest results expected By FRANK BAKER A t this time last year, UB men's basketball coach Dan Bau.ani (55-46, 5th season) was in an enviable posttion. He knew be bad tbe talent to compete with the best Division Ill teams in the State; all he had to do was mold the talent into a team. He was, to some extent, able to do that, and the Bulls finished 15-10. This year he again finds himself in the same predicament. He knows he can beat almost any Division Ill school., but unfortunatel y, the Bulls are going to play an almost exclusively Division II schedule. " l don 't want to dwell on the negative, ~ said the Bulls' mentor, "but this is the toughest schedu le I've had in my five years here. I just hope we11 be competitive." Those are not the words Bull-backers want to hear, but they are the grim reality. UB faces a schedule which includes Gannon, the second-ranked Division II team in the nation last year, 1986 Division III national champion Potsdam, St. Anselm, 25-5 last year, and, of coun;e, arch-rival Buffalo State. With that kind of a schedule, what can the Bulls' faithJul expect? Read on. RECRUITING will be illl ouuuoding player," pre- With only two retu rning lettermen. this should have been the strong point ·~£ the Bulls' pre-season. It wasn, _ As was the case with all of U B's sports teams, Bazzani and his staff were caught in the decision to upgrade on hold for a year. Originally, said given the go-ahead middle when the ath letics was put Bazzani. he was to offer scholar- ships. When that privilege was taken away, he was left in a predicament. How could he play a Division II schedule without scholarship players? .. Recruiting could have been a disas- d.icu:d 8azz;uoi.. ·ue.. a great talent."

Chris Walter, another freshman , from Sy<acusc. is slated to be the first guanl off tile bmch . Two ot..ba lliCWCOmers at guard arc junior Todd Banasz.alr. and sophomore Mite Cross.. Up front, UB will be considerably lackins in tbree areas: siu, strength , and expc::rimcc. However, Bazz.ani does have four n:cruits on hand who will lO fin tbc occds.

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

Heading tbe list of returnees is a beefier Bill Smith, a 67• sophomore who averaged 6.9 points per game (ppg) and 4.4 rebounds per game (rpg) last season. Smith, who bad knee SIJI&CI'Y in the off-season and bas been ~ampercd by soreness in his koees during the preseason, should start at one forward slpt. •Bill has worked harder in the offseason than any player I've ever bad,• commented Bazzani. "He's been tifting weights and bas put on 35 pounds of muscle. If anyone deserves to have a great, injury-free year, it's Billy." Bazzani added that he- expects Smith to be the team's "horse" under tbc basket. "Bill bas been going strong to the basket in practice and bas made some of his teammates mad because be gets so physical," laughed BazzanL "He's a .vcry good player with a great attitude who's just going to get better and better.• Another player wbo Bauani sa;r.; bas a great attitude and who will be counted on heavily is 57•, junior point �No tw 11, 11187 v--.1t,No.11 THE .BULLS A--- then transferred," recalled Bazzani. " He can play forward or guard and is a great shooter. How mudt be plays will depend on the situation." The Bulls also wdcome back Kun Jute, a 6', sopboDJCJR: guard who averaged 1.3 ppg and 1.3 rpg last year. KEY LOSSES As has been the .,_ in recent years, the Bulls are ap,ain farad to rebuild because of the los. of key ~- This year, because c i the ball in the upgrade, the problem is evm mon: xute. " We were boor:st with the guys last year," said Bazzani. "I bad each one come into my office, anoll 1 old them that they were wdcome to try out for the team, but that it would be hard fof them to stay ben: and play with the upgrade. "'Some of the guys aren' playing because of grad<s." admitted the coach, "but most tramlan:d because of the upgrade. We wen: awan:: that many of the players would leave for vario us reasons.· The Bulls have lost three staners fro m last year, four olhcr players who saw considerable or spGit action, and their captain, Derek SumiDtirs. Gone are starti.o& forward Anthony Miller (14.6 ppg and 8. 1 rpg), first-team guard Kyle Givem (9.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg), and starting guard-forward Nick O'Neil (8.5 ppg and 3.3 rpg). Also depal1cd -Joe Etonio (9.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg). Jaazie F.ic:bd d .6 ppg and 1.3 rpg), Alex Scpi (2.8 ppg and 2.0 rpg), Chris Mathews (2.8 ppg and 4. 7 rpg), Guilio Co~aDFo (2.1 ppg and 2.5 rpg), and SWIUIICIS (3.7 ppg and 1.6 rpg). Division II), most of o ur ga mes arc away. T hat"s only going to make it tougher fo r us." And the games that are ho me aren't much easier, conceded Bazz.ani. " Us uall y you can look down a schedule and see a few games th at you..-know you11 win big at home," he said . .. There aren't any this year." "The best thi ng we can do is play well at home. be competitive on the road , and get to the second semester when we can use Coleman ."' If UB is to be successful. they wi ll have to get off to a good st art. T heir first game, tomorrow in the opening to urn a ment, could give the young Bulls the co nfidence tbey will need when they face G a nnon in the home opener ·on Nov. 27. On the oth er band, two blow-ou ts on the road before the Gannon game co uld spell disaster. O ne thing that is on the Bulls' side goi ng into this campaign is the team's attit ude. Acco rding to Bazzani, they're one of the most likable and hard working teams he has ever coached. They also get along well individually, be said. How long that friendsh ip lasts when the losses start piling up is an yone's round of rhe Keene Sta te Classic is against St. Anse lm. A good showing g uess. there, and in the next round of th e Our Prediction: 7-2t 0 OUTLOOK is an excellent leader," said Bazzani. ~He runs the show out there and knows exactly what I want from him. He's very exCiting to watch." According to Bazzani, the sometimes out-of-control Washington is also a much improved player this year. . ~ Mike has much better range on his Jump shot," noted the coacb. ~, bave confidence in him taking three-point shots this year." One plus for both Bazzani and Washington is the team's added speed. ~we dido' have anyone who could stay with Mike on the (fast) break last year," lamented Bazzani. ~This year we do." Gene Glenn, a 6Y guard-forward who .sat out last year because of academic problems, should also see time off the bench this season. ~Gene is the best defensive player on the team and will be ou~ defensive specialist," said Erik Berg, a 6'4", sharp-5hooting guard, is the . team's only senior and returns to the Bulls after a two-year s-am. absence. ~ Erik played here as a freshman but With the loss of virtually all of their scoring and rebow>ding tale nt , thi s yea r's hoop team could be in fo r a very long winter. Because the Bulls were caught in the shuffle when the upgrade was put on bold - and thus could not recruit the type of !alent needed to compete effeCtively at this~ - there are some players on the team who should not be playing at Division II and are just filling praclice space. The Bulls will have to make d o wi t h a team that lacts the size to co mpe te night-in and ni&ht-<>ut with teams in the Mideast Confen:uce (the co nference UB will compete in on the D ivisio n II level). Bazzani acknowicd&<s the pro ble m. ~ we:re not physical and we 're not experienced. It's tough to win with freshmen." In order to win, or at ~t be competitive, this year, be said ~ Bulls will have to run and pra:sun: more. They will also have to bit the three point shot in order to opcu thing:s up underneath for their hi& mm. ~we should baYC a balanced scoring attack," said Bazzani, adding that players like Wasbin&to~>. Hall, Jones, Smith, Lowe, and 11crz will have to contribute on a ID&hdJ basis in order for the Bulls to lllay cloee. Reboundin& an an:a when: the Bulls have been notorioasly weak, will also have to i.mprow: ~y if they -are to stay with tbc biaF teams, such as Gannon, wbidl lias a T4", 6'11",-and 6'8" front Line. This barden will fall squarely on tbc oboulden of Smith , Frederick, and H.n.

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

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

The Canadian-American Studies Program at UB is an interdisciplinary effort directed by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. says Marilyn B.

The program, which Hoskin says has been supported by the Canadian government since 1981 . currently is sponsoring a lecture series featuring prominent schol.a.n discussing topics such as Canadian trade relations , immigration policy and human rights.

I ~ Prio r to passage of the Ch~ r in 1982. the wntten protection of .ng~ts tn Canada was very limited , he explarned . In 1947, a Provincial Bill of Rights was .drafted in Sasl<atcbewan; it was fol· lowed in 1967 by the Canadian Bill of Rtghts. But a crisis began to evolve in the late 70s and early '80s, which was brough t about by Quebec's desire for a cha nge in the basic constitutionaJ order th at wo uld recognize the uniqueness of that provi nce as well as by other regio nal challe~ges to the constitutional order. he said. The crisis came to a head as a result of the threat that Quebec would separate ftom the coun· try and form a semi-autonomous stale. ''That was the trigge ring point th at reall y led to th e enactment of the Char· ter ... Pentne y said . "I n order to defeat the forces of the Quebec government. the federal government and others engaged in a campaign that was b~ed on the promise of renewed federahsm . They prom· ised to make fundamental changes to accommodate the strong desires of Quebecers for a new place within Canada." When it came time to move from this general commitment to a new federalism to thinking about what we would do. Pentncy said, we ~new from the outset that o ne of the thmgs would be to write down a list of rights in the true pQst-war tradition . P.art ca me from the Canadian Bill of Rtghts. part from so me unique Canadian nc:eds, and th e remainder from the Amencaa and international systems. .tThc examples that were draw~..upon were both positive and negat~ he noted . · ··some specific procedural gua.i\ntees are there only because o~ the A~~rican ex perience." Pentney satd . For "txample. the Canadian Charter drew bn the U.S. Bill of Rights regardmg the nght to counsel and to be: informed of that right. However, U.S . precedents related to exclusion o f evidence were percetved as being too wide-reaching and were modified . The Canadian Charter offers "the usual guarantees yo u 'd expect in. terms of fundamental political ri_g hts," mclud· ing freedoms of expression! rehg~on. assembly, association, _and tn3;1 protections, Pentney notci:l .. Al!d . t.n many instances, the language ts stmtlar to the American equivalents. . But the document also offers pr~tec­ tions that are ."~q_ue!Y. . -~ld~," suc h as freedom of th o ught, belief, o p ini o n, and expressi o n. including freed om of the press and freedom for other media of communication . "(The U. S.) Bill of Rights tends to be shoner. but the doctrines that it protects parallel the guarantees we have quite closely," Pentney said. " We have guarantees of collective ri gh ts that are unique as well, .. such as protections surrounding bilingualism . and th e rights of minorities to have "The government has been given an opt-out clause; it can revok§__rights." education. for the ir children in the ~an­ guage of their choice. he Canadian Charter, Pentney said , guarant~s citizens of that count ry four kinds of equality: equality before and under the law, a nd equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. But, he noted, the Charter takes non~iscrimination a step further than the American standard. MWithout discrimination based on race. eth nicity ..or national origin, color. religion. sex, age, or mental or physical disability - it is something that goes far beyond anything you contemplated in the 14th Am~ndment," Pentney said. The Canadian Charter also includes an equal rights amendment that says that "rights and freedoms are guaran· teed equal to male and female persons." Another important difference between T th e Ca nadian Charter and the U.S. Const itut ion is "we have an o pt-out provision ... Pentney said. nder Section 33 of the Canadian Chaner, the government can raise a Charter challenge, and revoke any rights that it deems necessary. For example. striking government workers in Saskatchewan were ordered back on the job, despite the fact that such an order violated the workers' equal rights and right to freedom of assembly. "This law can apply notwithstanding the Charter. That kind of declaration can be made by a legislature with an ordinary majority and will survive for five yean .... lt is a profoundly dangerous section, l think, because it seems to me we need these rights most when they are least likely to be protected by a majority. And Section 33 is most likely to be used by an innamed majority to take away fundamental rights just when the minority most needs them." U.S. legal cases have had a "lre· mendous, almost impossible to overestimate" influence on interpretation of the Canadian Charter, according to Pentney. "l did a rough count of the first 15 cases that I had in my office on Supreme Court of Canada rulings on the Chaner. International sources were cited six times, U.S. cases were cited in II of those 15 cases, and a total of 50 U.S. cases were cited. Many of them were cited as illustrating a broad doctrine." These numbers point to a ..dramatic reversal" in the previous view of international sources, particularly American sources, which are now being taken more into consideration in Canadian Supreme Court rulings. And that tendency, Pentney says, is both "a boon and a burden." 0 U �November 19, 1987 Volume 19, No. 11 Milton Plesur: One of our favorite own being." He pursued this interest through more than 90 interviews and encounters with stars and moguls of Hollywood ( man y of whom were his friends), collecting data for a projected book o n the attitudes and opinions of movie-makers of the era between 1920 and 1940. He made History 'come alive' Among his other inte rests, which he shared in an annual average of over 30 speaking engagements. were such topics as "Eros in the White House," "How Sic k Were Our Presidents?.

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

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

Plesur earned an M.A . in history at UB in 1949, then took his Ph.D . at the University of Rochester in I 954. His formal professio nal association with UB began in 1955. He was actin~ director of the old Division of General and Technical Studies from 1956-59 , then served as assistant dean of University College (the undergraduate college of its day) from 1959-1966. In 1965, he was acting dean of that unit. Those positions, which brought him in close, daily contact with students Universi ty ~wide, were his favorite assignments at tbe University. Later, ·from 1968 to 1975, he was director of the Master in Social Sciences program. Throughout these years, he remained close to the classroom as well. ven o n your first visit with Plesur. another former student recaUed . ··you could get to know a lot more about him than would be possible with most other professors - just by listening to him talking about some movie he just saw. or abou t why he 'd never go back to Wendy's. or about the way the University used to be."

MANNERS' QUICK COMEBACKS TO RUDE THANKSGIVING QUESTIONS: D A PRACTICAL GUIDE By ANTHONY CHASE h. how Miss Manners would scowl. A rude question does not warrant a rude retort. One does not revel in clever repartee when besieged by the question that is a bit too personal or strikes a nerve. We do not live in a Neil Simon play And when irs one's family. there's all the more reason to be charitable. But during the holidays irs tough. People have time to sit back. Relax. Chat. Interrogate. And what's the unwary scholar. home for the holiday to do? The rules of etiquette dictate that one respond woth such lame answers as. "My. what a personal question!" Then stew. We can'! preven! the rude ques!ions. bu! we can help you avood flimsy and unsa!isfyong answers. We've proviGed comeba cks I hal are so sharp. you can slice lhrough lhe rudesl ques!ion as if it were made ot warm cranberry sauce. Of cour~e. if your parents are paying .your tu~ion or you don't want lobe cut out of Aunt Hilda 's will. it might be better 10 stock 10 I he excruciatingly correct: Meanwhile. however. you can silently fantasize about lhe glorious and clever put -downs you moghl have uttered It's better than stewing aboul it. 0 Why would a nice boy like you want to wear an earring? I don't think you college kids study at all. It's just party party party all night long. It's actually a tiny elec!ronic device !hrough which my roommate can !ransmit the answers 10 exam ques!ions. Can we doscuss lhos later? I'm exhausted' 0 0 What are you going to do with a degree In ______? What do you mean you're a vegetarian?

You college kids are so out of touch. When are we going to meet this boy1riend we hear so much about? Well. he prefers to spend the holidays with his wile. If's true. I haven 't watched that show in weeks. Did Victoria Principal really quit? 0 So how's the dissertation coming? 0 Pass the cranberroes. Go easy on the pie, dearyou've put on a little weight at college. 0 Why did you dye your hair purple? It can't be helped. We learned in Nutrition 101 that dessert is the fihh essential food group. BuHalo is very near Love Canal - this is now my natural color. il In my day education much more difficult to come by. Yes, but I just can't see myself apprenticed to a blacksmith. Why can't students be IIOCi8lty committed Uke In the '60s? What do you mean? Hands Across America was just three years ago! Weren't you working on fto..at- book last ye.? Wbo's going to read It anyway? The promotion and tenure committee. Well, let's have the college student show off some education - what do you think about the situation In the middle eat?

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

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

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

Tbe Faculty Senate Executive Committee was to vote on the proposal for review yesterday. The _Speeial Talent Admission Committee started out as tbe Individualized Admissions Committee in 1974 when be was chairman of the Faculty Senate, Hqchfteld said. The intent of that committee was to consider students who were talented in art or music, but didnl meet tbe standard admissions criteria. He said that athletic talent wasnl to be considered a special talent. He conceded, though, that athletes were admitted through tbe committee in its ftnt year. MBut I donl believe that because we ba-..e s1nned for 10 yean we should continue sinning,MHocb!ield said. e also noted that the University was having trouble filling its cluses at tbe time, aDd tbe committee seemed l.ike a good idea. But now the number of athletes H being screened has shot up and constitutes one-third of the cases, be said. "That' a lot, Mhe noted. Hochfield criticized the special treatment athletes get. Coaches give preceded application forms to athletes they want to recruit. lf the athlete isn l accepted through regular . admissions, the encoded application signals the admissions office to suppress the rejection letter and forward the application to the committee. "The Athletic Department simply has a different end from thf;J rest of the University-success _ on the field." -GEORGE HOCHFIELD Any other student would receive a letter denying him or her admission and instructing him that be may apply again through the committee. Tbe admissions office implemented the procedures to enhance recruitment of athletes, said -Durkin. That's something the Faculty Senate supported in its vote for upgrading intercollegiate athletics.

As the members of the committee examine the credentials of an applicant, they arenl thinking about the future of athletics at UB, Durkin said. They're deciding whether this real-life student has the potential to make the grade at UB. "The debate isn l usually about the talent, but whether the student can withstand the academic rigor, MDurkin indicated . Hocb!ield said his call for a review of the committee isn l an attempt to undo the Faculty Senate's vote in support of upgrading intercollegiate athletics, though he would undo that vote if be could. MSince I can' undo it, I'd l.ike to keep it honest, Mhe said ~ In order to do that, the faculty must take extreme care and establish clear academic guidelines. Last semester, faculty members were once again named to the Special Talent Admission Committee after years of neglect by the faculty. The faculty always forget about these programs and let them fall into the bands of the professionals and erode, Hocb!ield said.

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

Behind him . a liquid phase epitaxy syste m for growth of high quality semi-conductor layers. Landi explains. The office either mak<> links between faculty researc'hers and sponsors, or refers the sponsor to other universities that may be capable of handling a project outside of UB·, interests. For example, if a sponsor . w ~n t s work done in printing and pubhshmg. there might be instances in wh•ch RIT would be a more likely candidate. "Some large-scale projeets require multi-year, multi-<lisciplinary involve· ment," says Landi . "The Nauonal Earthquake Center is a good example of this. ft Landi relates that arrang. ng this project required ~ many, many people." The Office of the V1c< President for Sponsored Programs got the necessary people together. "Very often the sponsor requires matching funds, ft Land• continued. "We arrange for University commitment. "If a faculty member has an idea, but needs seed money to do a good proposal, the office will arrange for that.ft he office takes on any number. of tasks to make the administration T and funding of rcsean:h more efficient. Aniong these, Landi notes that the office informs faculty of fund~ng opportunities, it assists in tbe preparauon of grant proposals, and it will even leod a hand in typing. . . . The office is involved .Pnmanl~ '" ~behind tbe scenes" activiues - ~gs ' that faculty and staff often don\ thiDk about. This, says Landi, is the whole 0 idea.

Pfe1fer Theatre, 681 Main Street. The play is a production of the Theatre and Daooe Department. Performanoes of "The Good Woman" will continue at 8 p.m., Thu!Jd@ySaturday; and 3 p.m. on Sunday, through December 13. There will no performances, however, on November 26-29 bocause of the Thanksgiving holiday. Directing the production will be Kazimicrz Braun, head of the UB acting program. Braun last directed a production of "The Good Woman of Sctzuan" 20 years ago in Torun, Poland. He also saw productions of Brecht directed by the playwright in Poland and at the Berliner Ensemble, Brecht's famous theatre company of the 1950s. Written in 1943 while Brecht was at the beigbt of his powers, "The Good Woman of Setzuan" is a parable play ~~ in pre-war China. In Braun's view, 11 IS a masterwork by "one of the greatest artists of the 20th oentury. • The play centers on Shen Te.- a pen- "The work is Brecht's way of telling us that it is often difficult .

Shen Te escapes their demands by disguising herself as a man - her ruthless and imaginary cou- . sin Shui Ta. After much travail, Shen Te tells the .gods that their insistence that she be good while living in a harsh world, "was a thunderbolt. It has tom me in two." The play, says Braun, is Brecht's way of telling us that "it ·is often extremely difficult to be good given the harsh circumstances of life." Like the medieval morality play, he adds, "The Good Woman" is conoemed with "the fight within each of us between good and evil." tauo says the play is a good of Brecht's desire to create B example effect for the audience. a ~distancing" In this way, comments critic Peter Jelavich, Brecht positioned th~ " 'magic' and emotionalism of the traditional theatre," against "the clarity, simplicity, and objectivity of a didactic stage." In this work, as· in so many other Brecht works, the playwright "is not trying to recreate life," says Braun, "but rather to create an artistic structure that is. based on his theories of how theatre should work." Braun says it is important for American audieooes and UB student actors to be exposed to Brecht. For this reason, he has included lectures on Brecht's theories during the rehearsals. "It is such a great opportunity for them to work with Brecht." It is not always advisable for acti"ng students ,' says Braun, ~to be stuck w1thm _the framework of (the usual) psycholog•cal realism that dominates the American theatre." Despite the didactic impulse, the play bas "enormous hUman potential," says the director. "It is a warm, attrac~ive and touching work.

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

Job opportunities for graduates shift. according to economic, technological, and political trends. The petroleum industry bas Ira· ditionally hired most geology graduates - 75 per cent or more of them - but opportunities in that industry have diminished as companies have cut back on exploration . Environmental geology is now the biggest area of employment for graduates, as waste eology has grown in size and focus since 1927, wben its ftrst chairman G Reginald Pegrum - who was also its only faculty member for many years began its development as a department.

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

Her department, located in the Ellicott Complex, bas a lot of gond teaching space and a large collection of specimens. Several cold storage spaces, an inheritance from tbe old Spaulding cafeteria, are now occupied by monkey parts seai<Od in plastic bags. "We have incredibly good facilities in physical anthropology," ~be said. "They rank rigbl up there with (those at) the top 10 universities." Physical anthropology is by no means tbe main focus of tbe department; it is in fact a smaller subfield at UB who a r e human biologists. It's a wide range within one depanment and it takes some effon to keep those people integrated and to provide an integrated training program. , "We're very actively trying to make sure that a student who specializes in physical, for example, knows cultural and arcbaeulogy," Sirianni continued, "that that person is well-balanced intellectually and can incorporate skills of other subfields." The depanment, unique among tbe social sciences in its laboratory orientation, sbe added, is not only concerned with internal integration. .. We're very enthusiastic about making research links with other departments; we're a depanment that is seeking to make connections. And I'm looking to facilitate that as much as possible." D US-1$raeli relations seen as healthy, despite problems By FRANK BAKER espite recent problems, Israel and the United States still enjoy a very healthy and . mutually beneficial relationShiJ?, Ys>ram Pen, visiting professor of political science at Dartmouth College, sa.id bere last week in a speech on U.S.Israeli relations.

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

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

We do research here to fi nd ou t how Jh ings d o and don) work in membranes." Yeagle suggests that because of its size and the ex tent ~f its research, t he biomembrane graduate group co ul d so meday be an A~eade m ic program. "The group is highy interdisciplinary and is one of the larger gr ad uate grou ps on cam pus. We have about 100 st ud en ts a nd fac u lty fro m seve r al institu tions." The gro up. wh ieh draws its panicipants from areas such as biochemistry. micro biology, pharmacology, medicine, and biophysics, utilizes ·not only UB fac ulty, but also professionals fro m Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Institute a nd Can ada ·s Mc M as ter a nd Brock univers ities. , " We have a very wide variety of peo- · pie and d isciplines." · adds Yeagle. " I believe that has to d o with the history a nd re putat ion of b lo me mbr an esrelated. work at UB.'" That history began in the 60's with Jall'es Danielli. " Dr. Danielli was a giant in t he field before biomembranes even became a field ," says Yeagle. "Our graduate group is a direct descendent from bis work. ··The field really took • off a bout 1970. • says Yeagle. "UB had its graduate group in place only a few years later. .. eagle. an associate professor of biochemistry. has been head of the group for Jhree years. He notes that st udents take courses and indepe nde nt studies fro m the group·s fac ult y, but, more impor1antly, that everyone in the group meets once or twice a year for an all-day seminar on biomembranes. .. We can provide a year's worth of semi nars in o ne day," says Yeagle . .. The workshop focuses on o ne to pic and we11 have six or eight speakers come in and discuss it. " The speakers. adds Yeagle. come from all over the world and gi ve students an opportu nity 10 ex pand their knowled ge beyond the expertise available in the Buffalo area. " Everyone invo lved gains valuable knowledge." says Yeagle. " We have very informative discussio n periods and interaction between participants. This is very valuable to research because many ideas fo r projects co me fro m the discussions and meetings ... The group's first seminar this acade mic year - " Biology of Membrane Lipids" - will be held Feb. 22. Aside from co ntinuing the bigbly successful one-<lay meetings, Yeagle bas some definite plans fo r the group 's fu tu re. First of all, he "wants to keep the grou p the same size. .. The gro up exists to se r ve it s membe rs and showcase their expertise." he says. " If it gets any bigger. we won't be able to d o that as well. " Yeagle adds that his pri mary goal is to help build UB's reputation nationally in the area of biomembranes. "The grou p is very pragmatic, it benefits many people," he says. "Those looking fo r grants have a better chance of gett ing them because u o ·s reputation is so good. The seminars imp rove that reputation and, consequently, as that reputation· gets even better, the chances for grants will also improve." 0 Y �November 12, 1987 Volume 19, No. 10 Curriculum Center is unusual resource for educators Kathy Kerner (left) and Kathy Gross look over curriculum materials. By ANTHONY CHASE idden in the basement of Bald y Hall , there is an unusual resource for educators and education students. Let's say, for instance, that you're a teacher who yearns for some of those flashy classroom materials that really get kids excited about school - posters of foreign countries , calendars with facts about dinosaurs, · activities to complement a science class on insects. Without any budget, yo u might be forced to reach into your own pocket, or to do without. There is an alternative. More and more area teachers come to the Curri culum Center, a resource available through the Department of Learning and Instruction m the Faculty of Educational Studies. The Center, housed in Baldy 17, boasts a large collection which includes elemeotory and secondary school textbook's, posters, ma~;a­ zines, newsletters from area school_dlstricts, and activity books. .. One woman came to look for elementary economics ideas and for fifth grade social studies textbooks," says Norma Shatz, library coordinator of the Curriculum Center. "It was easier for her to come to the center than it would have been to call many publishers - one-stop shopping rather than going to six different stores. .. There's a teacher who lives in Greece, New York , who comes here every Saturday to get stuff for the next week of teaching," says Shatz. "She doesn't have a curriculum center like this. She comes looking for teaching ideas, and for ideas for classroom activities .... H eggs," and "activity ideas for Patriots' Day." Shatz adds that since AIDS has been introduced into the New York State curriculum it has become a hot issue for the Curriculum Center. Certain materials would be very difficult to find anywhere but at the Curriculum Center. A curriculum coordinator carne looking for activities about bears to go with a sto ry he planned to read to a group of first-graders on the next day. Shatz relates that he was quite nervous. "These are first-graders," he said . "lf I bomb out now 111 have to face them for the next five years! ... The curriculum center was able to supply him with a file of bear activities. K athleen Kerner, one of two graduate assistants who works under Shau, observes that it's not just a curriculum coordinator who might be nervous about his teaching. ... A new teacher would come to us before he or she would go up to the department chair and say. ' I can't think of something to teach my class.· " she says. Many inner<ity teachers use the Curriculum Center, as do people with an interest in keeping up with changes in curriculum. Thrift is an important ingredient in the center's growth. Shatz and her staff are always on the lookout for freebies. Old publications are scanned for free offers. They are then cut up, and ideas are put into activity books. Shatz goes to publishers' exhibits to convince sales representatives to give her complimentary co pi~ of their texts. "A few years ago when I first started. it was very hard." says Shatz. "Publishers did not want !o give me all th ose free copies. This year it has begun to pay off." Recently Shatz attended a book exhibit where a sales rep walked up to her and said, "Thank you." "For what?" queried Shatz. "You helped me out," he said. A teacher had called him looking for one of his books. He dido' have a copy handy but was able to send her to the Curriculum Center. She adopted the book for her class. · To a large degree, the center has been promoted by word of mouth. ·As people who are familiar with this resource graduate and become teachers themselves, they return to use it, .. explains Shatz. 0 Classroom activiries are easy ro find at the center which bas a good collection of ... activity books, ... or fiJes containing activity ideas for use in the classroom on subjects ranging from astronomy to Zaire. A6 n open house to be held at the center on Wednesday. Nov: 18. from 3 to p.m. is designed to generate greater in terest. The annual open house will feature Ellen Mack Schultz, who wi ll offer a presentation called "The Living Biography of Beatrix Potter." Schultz, a Kenmore resident, is a member of the Beatrix Potter Society. She has traveled to England and Scotland to participate in conferences about the noted iUustrator and author of children's books . ln the living biography she will impersonate Potter, relating details of the author's career and severe yictorian upbringing. Schultz's presentation has been arranged by the Curriculum Center in recognition of Children's Book Week . lthough the center is attracting A increasing numbers of area educators, the majority of its users are the Teacher Education people here at the University. The center can offer them something that other libraries can'· explains Shall. ... Curriculum people are more interested in theory," she said. "The center is geared toward practice." An education student might be faced ""itb the task of putting together a math test. Not knowing bow to go about making up the test, or not being familiar with what is appropriate for a particular grade level, the student might be stuck. The curriculum center could provide informatiop on making tests, as weU as math books for any grac!c level. A teacher who wants to do a classroom unit on pets could easilr. find materials on pel> in a public bbrary, but would probably have to search hard fpr activities on them, says Shatz. The center can save teacben a lot of time. "We don't hesitate to refer peo.rle to other sources nf information, she adds. " Lockwood Library, for instance . has professional materials things more in the th eory or philosophy of how to teaeh. Lockwood does that very well. Buffalo State is an excellent so urce of children's literature."' ecent issues the center has helped patron s with include "helping children cope with death ," "how to plan curriculum, ... .. materials to teach about Africa," "how to hatch chicken R "One curriculum coordinator oame looking for material on bears. He found just the thing."

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

In the so uthern U.S., for example, phrases such as "Mexican work" have replaced the term "Coolie labor" applied to Chinese imm igrants earlier in the century.

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

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

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

D program �NOYember 5, 1987 Volume 19, No. 9 Students, faculty air views on campus issues By CLARE O'SHEA hould students be metcrmaids and metcrmen? The proposal to hire st udents to hand out parking tickets on ca mpus was among iss ues discussed lasl week at the first annual JOin l tudent-faculty government meettng hosted by the: Faculty Senate Executive CommJtttt Other ISSues covered dunng the meet mg mcludcd SC ATF. the Undcrgradu· ate l nillative . the physacal education requirement . and the Undergraduate College. Hiring st uden ts to wnte llcket.!i fo r parking infractions, now a fuqchon of Public Safety officers, could be a pO>J· rive learning experience. said Walter Sarjeant of Electrical and Computer Engineering. ... Tbere's no ed uca tional com ponent to handing out tickets, sai~ Ken Gage . the non-voti ng student member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. "I behcvc there's a big diiTcrcncc in work stud y (jobs) and giving out tickets." .. There's an educational component in any job," said Edward W. Doty, vice president for finance and management. These students would not be hired wtlh work study funds . however. he stres~ : they would be empl oyees o f th< University . .. This is a n educatio nal in5titutl0n and one of ou r functions is to presen t as much employment o pponunily as possible for as many students." Dot y said . "If students don' want to be employed, they don' have to." Granting a law enforcement power to a student can be potentially dangerous. several students and faculty noted. "I think it's absolutel y outrageous." said Bob Chato v of Management. .. The not ion th at so meo ne would delegate a police duty to students is absurd." "We have to consider the safety fac· tor," Gage sajd . ..There have been inci· dents of Public Safety officers being hit. If a st udent sees anot her student writing a ticket, some people may lake advantage of the situation.Hiring st udents lo perform a Pubhc Safely officer function but paying them leu for the job takes advantage of students, several faculty and st ud ents satd . It's cheap labor. There are many students on campus working alongside union employees and gelling paid less than the ir counter· parts, one faculty member pointed out . Doty noted there are nol enough Public Safely officers and thai training students lo take over lbc ticket-writing would not be depriving union members of jobs. And the money saved by hiring a student would be used in pan lo increase evening pa trols of Pub lic Safety officers. "If you employ students during the day, il frees up Public Safety officers for the evening," Dol y said . S CATE, the student -run system of teacher and course evaluation. was also discussed . Th is year. funding for SCA TE was not included in th< under· graduate Student Association budget. said Amy Hcnnisc h. SA treas urer. because S CA TE was determined ineffective. SA is now attempting to fi nd ways lo make SCA TE mo re va lua ble to students in choosi ng courses a nd to faculty in improving their teaching. Gage noted . SCATE suffers a lack of credi bilitv. several facult y members agreed . In o~c course he taught, Dennis Malone of Electrical and Computer Engineering said, st udents filling oul lhc SCA TE form concluded that the course's lab was not ver y well-equ ipped . That course bad no lab, Malone said. Another faculty member pointed to one SCATE evaluation in which students gave conflicting replies to the question: " Did the teacher hand out a course syllabus at the beginning of the semester?" S Oswaldo Mestre of SA makes point at Faculty Senate session . Cu rrently. there's no way of assuring that all of the students m a class will fill out the SCA TE forms and whether they will do so with smcenty, said Cha tov ft would also help if there wen: statiStiCS provtded Wlth SC A Tf whtch would g1ve somt tdea of ho v. \ahd the numbers a~ . Tom Burford of Heahh Behav1oral Sc1ence~ propose-d It m1ght help to havt repre s~ntauves VISit each class at 'the end of the semester and asl seve raJ .. A - and -o .. students to gwc an appra LSa l of lhe course and teacher . sugge sted Ed Strrunchamps of Musrc " It 'd be more appr o pr iate for SCATE to talk about lh< real con tent of co urses inste ad of how effectJve a teacher is on the podiUm," he added . "I learned a great deal from professors who came on time and combed their hair." but those things d o not guarantee effective teaching. Gage pointed .<>ul the tmponance of cstablisbmg one Univcrsi ly-wtdc system of eval uation. Several departments are using their own systems. wh1ch may make it difficult for students to make syste matic comparisons among councs and teachers, he noted .

Although the evaluation instrument used in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics differs in form, he ad ded , the results arc st ill accessi ble t o all students si nce t hey are published with SC ATE.

No matter how inconsequent ial the questions or how unreliable the data may see m, any evaluation system must be taken seriously, several noted .

Dorm rates here may increase even more than 4 per ~nt because U B is one of several campuses that gets a special subsidy which may be eliminated, said William H. Anslow. vice chancellor for finan~ and business and direcJ. o r of budgets. Campuses have n't. set their rates yet, he noted . For rehabi litation of the dormitories. the trustees asked the State for an increase of S3 mill ion, to a total of S8 million. T An alternat ive plan would be to raise S60 million in bond money and pay it back over 10 years, Anslow explained . However. that plan was rejected because it would increase room rates by S200 per bed . (The average rate now is about S I, 760 for a standard double.) "That would be a very high rate co mpared to what students pay at ot her un iversi ties ... he noted. n general. SUNY d ormitories are striving for self-sufficie ncy to charge students exactly what it costs to maintain the room .

Anslow said SUNY doesn' wan! additional debt service fees from the dorm rehabilitation to be tacked onto the bills of current students. There was alread y a backlog of needed repairs when the University moved to the selfsufficie ncy syste m, Anslow said , and st udents in the next few years sho uldn't pay all of the cost. Th< dorms are being preserved for the long hau l and the State has the responsibility 10 maintain them in good cond it ion. he noted he trustees asked for a total budget of about S 1.4 billion, an increase of T 11 .4 per ce nt.

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

Moreover, in December we will welcome to our ranks, Professor David Filvaroff in bis new role as Dean of our Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence. Jlrofessor Filvaroff will sucx:eed Professor Wade Newhouse, who has done an outstanding job as Dean of Law these past two years. - C ''We have created a more hospitable environment for minority students and a richer educational environment for all students by increasing the number ttf minority faculty and staff " losely linked to research is another goal I identified in 1982 - the expansion of our public service role in Western New York, especially with respect to revitalization of the economy of the area. Hen: again it is a pleasure to point out the achievements of the year just past. If the old University of Buffalo was pan of a great center of heavy industry and ship ping. the UB of the present and the future mus1 serve a post-industrial economy in which prosperity will depend on high technology, information processing, and the delivery of expert services based on new discoveries and new knowledge. To that end , U B has established several organizalions over the past few years aimed at giving area busmesses ae«ss to Universily research, encouraging technology transfer. and promoting joint research ventures. For example, the high technology inc ubator at 2211 Main Street, which is a coopt:rative venture between our University and the Western New York Technology Development Center, and which is now in its founb year'""of operation, has helped launch 18 new firms which together employ more than 100 people. We are nuw constructing a new incubator across the street from tbe North Campus on Sweet Home Road which will be four times as large as tb~ original incubator on Main Street. It is hoped that this new £acility will be completed and open by September of next year. I can n:pon similar progress in the Calspan-UB Research Center wbere total revenues more tba~ doubled between 1986 and 1987, and in the Health Can: Instruments and Devices Institute, which attracted more than $3 million this past year in industrial contracts and state matching funds . UB's extremely successful SEFA campaign last year, and our bostin& of tbe New York State Special Olympics in tbe •I!D'D'Cr, demonstrate that our public service role can take many forms, and that -the economic partnership between the University and the region is complex and many~ided . An exciting new dimension of that pannership was unveiled las'. week in the kickoff of UB's first capttal campaign since enteringthe SUNY syste"!. Chaired by a promtnent Buffalo bustness leader, Mr. onhrup R. Knox. the campaign aims to raise S52 million of endowment funds from alumni, local businesses, foundations, and friends of our University over the next five years. As the campaign case statement makes clear, endowment funds provide the margin of excellence that enables great universities to fiounsh . Perma~ nent endovmu~nts from prevtous years are already helping UB in imponant ways - witness the recent recruitment of outstanding scholars to two endowed chairs, as I noted earlier. Besides endowing faculty chairs. income from our present endowments is used to suppon graduate assistantships, operate the University Honors Program. fund research . anitiate ne\1, programs, and acquire additions to the library's rare book collections and the Un1versll) 's fledgling an collections. The S52 milhon which we hope "''II be generated by the capital campaign will provide extra<trdinary opportuni· ties to expand these efforts. For example, we hope to add at least 25 endowed chairs. at least 30 endowed graduate and postdoctoral fellowships . at least 50 undergraduate scholarships. and at least eight endowed professorshi ps in the undergraduate college. We also expect to add $3.5 million to suppon programming and special purchases for our new Fine Ans Center. which is due to open in 1992; S2 million for acquisitions and endowment for the poetry / ran: books collections in the l}B Libr.acy; and finally, m1lhon of. unrestricted . wment funds the mcome from which would allow us to take advantage of unexpected acaderruc opponunities. The challenge ts enormous, but so also lS the opponunity to help put UB tiJDOnj! the best public research universtiJ.es tn the country, and to continue to budd the econonuc pannersbip between UB and the Western New York communny. Tbts lS a campaign that I sun:. you will bear much about in ~ commg months. - A s we tum now to the other goals I set in 1982 - th goals of improving student recruitment" enhanctn)ltbe quality of undergraduat~ student life, and reaffirming the central- it)' of the arts and sciences to the University - we can once again call attrn. tion to some marked successe~o especially in student recruitment. How: ever, we can and must ackno .... ledge serious problems in these areas _ problems which can only be solved through the dedicaled and concened efforts of the entire faculty and staff of the Univenity. To the best of my knowled ge . there is no great research university wh1ch 15 not also known for excellence in '" undergraduate programs. Thus. as 1 tum to the subject of undergrad uat< life and undergraduate education. I am turning to the task wh ich really round1 out and completes the larger proJect of making UB one of the very best publiC research univenities in the counan Let me begin by pointing to· >om< remarkable achievements - the fir 1 '" student recruitmeoL For thl lJ fall\ entering freshman class ~ had mnre applicants than ever befort mnr~ than a thousand above last year\ fi~urc - while the available pool of grad u.t· mg high school seniors was dtc hmn~ Moreover, our entering studenh Jretncreasingly better qualified :n, combined SAT scores of rrgu lar.,. admitted freshmen this year dH"UJ.'t nearly 1100, which is 21 poml!, a!-ltl\t the preceding year's average score,_ an~ far , far above lhe nationaJ aver a~..: :p• college freshmen .

I am particularly happy to report that we have been very successlul IM!, year in recruiting underrepr~ scntnl minority students. Our effons 1n th~> regard have been supponed b) t• o special programs initiated by the Stat< U niversaty System: the Minorit y Grad· uate Fellowship Program and lh< Empire State Manority Honors Schol· arship Program. Of tbe S 1.7 milhon allocated by SUNY to fund the Mtnvr· ity Graduate Fellowship Program. l'B bas rtteived over 25% of the total These funds have enabled us to grana 38 graduate fellowships to outstanding underrepresented manority gradual< students in all fields o f study. In add ition, UB rtteived $45,000 - nearl) 30% of the total - from the S UI\\" Empire State Minority Honors . cho· larshi p Program , which we hal< matched dollar for dollar from our ov.n resources. These funds have helped "' to recruit some of Lbe most acad tm l· cally-talented minority undergradu ate' in tbe State. Both of these new pro· grams an: important additio ns to our other weU<stablisbed and highly effective minority recruitment programs. We have also created a more hosp itable environment for minority students. and a richer educational environmenl for all students, by increasing the number of minority f..:uhy and staff at UB. This past year we added twelv< new tenured or tenure-track faculty memben, and made two major adm inistrative appointments, from underrepresented minority sroups. . To spea.k of efforts to recruit minonties is to be reminded of still another factor that dislinpishes SUNY-Buffalo from the UB of 25 yean ago. For ·~ addition to being l.arJ!er, more competitive, and more visibly prominent as a researeb center UB is also a less homogeneous and 'a less local institution than before. Substantial numbers of UB students oow co.m e not only from outside tbe Western New York an:a. but from outside tbe state and outside the coun!Jy.

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

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

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

"But we\ e al-.• added some more tough teams to th' schedule, so it's hard to say. .., need to recruit some forward s v. htl can put the ball in the net.

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

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

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

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

Yet with its long corridors and expanses of interior walls unbroken by windows, UB's Squire Hall, which houses the School of Dental Medicine, makes an impressive gallery for the enjoyment of staff, students, and clinic patients.

When visitors enter the lobby of Squire, the focal point is a spiralin!! brushed aluminum sculpture, "Continuum ... by Francis J. Toole , commiss~­ oned by the School of Dental Medtcine.

Unexpectedly, and much to our del igh t, one of them told us we were welcome to use his VW beetle to go there. We gratefully a=pted. and began making plans. We invi ted Mike Matsumun yane to travel with us. He did not have to th ink twice before accepting. Mike was particularly excited abo ut the trip because we would be going through Durban. S.A., and he was sure he could fi nd a good used four-wheel-drive p ickup truck there. Mike had been looking fo r such a truck for over a year. They are a necessity in Lesotho for anyone who needs to travel outside the main towns. As noted earlier, the majority of the country is mountainous, and even main roads tend to be windinj:, poorly mainrained, and at times steep. Secondary roads can only be described as tracks. The net result is that four-wheel-<lri ve vehicles are highly sought after and seldom come up for sale. Traveling through South Africa with Mike turned out to be revealing. Mike, being all too familiar with the apartheid mind set and form of government, was very ill-at-<:ase about th is leg of the trip. Whenever we stopped (o r fuel or a snack it was clear he was very apprehensive about dealing with "the Boers .... His usual response upon stopping in a town would be to comment to the effect, "Well, let's see how apartheid is doing in this town ... As t ime went on, we began to see why. There is a myth perpetrated by Pretoria that blacks and whites may freely intermingle in restaurants, hotels, and the like. While this may be true in policy, in practice the situation is quite different. In fact, in the smaller towns and villages open segregation is unabashedly practiced at many levels. In the Orange Free State (the bastion of apartheid), most business establishments have two sets of rest rooms - one labeled simply men and women, the other labeled "nieblank" (non-white) men and Mnieblank" women. Incidentally, the non-white category includes people of Indian descent, as well as those of mixed ethnic origin. And, in the Orange Free State, Indians are prohibited from takin~ up residence, worlcing. or traveling wtthout a penrut. Mike to use the non-white facilities.

Mike immediately took charge of thts task. He had us stop the car at an intersection where a black policeman was standing. He asked the officer where, in Durban, might he be able to secure lodging. We were directed to a short strip one block from the Indian Ocean. The hotels along this stri p were small and non-pretentious. We stopped at several, and Mike always ins1sted on goi ng in as we tried .to register. He did this, he said, to avoid any problems that might arise should we register and then show up with a black man. The hotels we stopped at were all full, and ~.!like once again took charge of the situation. He •topped a black woman who was wearing what appeared to be a maid's uniform, and asked her where we might get a room. She informed us that there was only one place in the area we might try, and so we did. The hotel was old, dirty, run down, and frequented by prostitutes. Several of the staff members were very drunk, and the "restaurant" served only alcohol. We registered and then set about our nex t order of business, getting dinner. We started to feel angry toward Mike as he rejected one restaurant after another. Typically, we would approach an es ta blishment and then look in the wi ndow only to see nothing but whi te diners. Mike kept insisting that we not go in. We. on the ot her hand. could not understand why. After all. we had been to ld that Durban was perhaps the most integrated and progressive of t he major South Afri can cities. Mike. however. insisted that he would most likely not be served in these restaurants. We ate a t a Wimpy's hamburger stand that night. This frustrated us Nf.EBLANK NONWHI .Tt "Mike refused to use the non-white or 'nieblank' rest rooms.

We could not he lp but s:nse his rage and frustration . .Back m the Mountain Kingdom, " whoch he spoke of with ever growing pride a nd longong, · Mike was a n equal among all men. In South Africa, by virtue of the color of his skin, he was a non-perso_n. a seco nd ·dass citizen who was remmded of it at every tum. These situations ace what Mike was avoiding in Durban. For while we may indeed have been served in many of the restaurants we considered enteri ng, we would not have been served as equals. And while we no doubt co uld have found a better hotel to stay in, the prospect of going through the humiliation of rejection, or bavtng to put up with insults and rude behavior, prompted him to work from the bottom up. Mike has never known us as anything but equals, and the hum iliation and pain he suffered in these situations we c~n not begin to imagine. T he humiliation blacks must live with in South Africa is in no way limited to their economic d ealings. In an earlier passing th rough the Orange Free State, we had stopped for gas and a bite to eat. In the parking lot were several older black men working und er the hood of a pickup truck.

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

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

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

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

The committee, composed of people from the school and the hospital, is ex~ to issue a repon sometime this fall, accordinl! to John Naughton, dean of the Med1cal School and vice president for clinical affairs at UB. The panel ~as formed as an outgrowth of this incident and the recognition that not everything that should have been complied with was complied with," Naughton said. The incident was a study performed at Buffalo General Hospital this summer that involved pamful tests called electromyelograpby, o·r EMGs. They n:portedly were performed on gay 1111:n to see whether repeated anal sex is barmfw to rectal ' functions . . he State Department of Health bas cited Buffalo General Hospital for failure to conform with portions of the T State hospital cnde. The health department found that the hospital failed to ensure that the research protocol was presented to the hospital's institutional n:view board. (That board is supposed to review and approve research projects involving human subjects.) The hospital also failed to ensure that the appropriate "Unauthorized, painful studies of gays led to move." format was followed in obtaining informed consent from tbe subj.Cts, the health department said. Buffalo General Hospital agreed with the health department's fmdings. However, it noted that while written documentation of consent wasnl obtained, there were indications that adequate explanations of the procedures had been given to the subjects. An internal recommendation regard- disciplinary action was made, said M1ke Shaw, d1rector of public relations at Buffalo General, but be declined to give details. · The hospital is taking steps to make sure that researchers get the proper approvals, Shaw added. he new committee is not investigating this incident specifically , Naughton said. Instead, it is invC5tigating the whole process of conducting research. The committee will ask whether-the staff is informed of the procedures for conducting human research and animal research, he said. Ip general terms, no human or animal investigation showd 110 on in any university wjtbout followmg all of the current guidelines, he said. There should be a well-<lefined protocol, and the experiment should be approved by all of the prope~ committees. MMy guess is that's where the. committee will come out," Naughton said. The committee will also recommend corrective action where needed. he noted. T The incident is not really a UB incident since nothing was ever broupt to the University for approval and 11 was not conducted at UB, Naughton said. Tbe person who conducted the research bas a voluntary (unpaid) University appointment, but that's by virtue nf his af.pointment to the staff of one of UB s teaching hospitals , Naughton said. (In order to be on the staff at any of six major local hospitals, including Buffalo General, a pbysicixn must atcept a faculty appointment at UB, the dean explained.) H owever, resident physicians from UB app~ntly participated in the incident. The committee will look at whether the program directors of the residents, or the program director of surgery at Buffalo General, were involved. "My feeling, and this is only a feeling, is that they weren l involved," Naughton said. The committee will not censure anyone; that's up to tbe health department, Naughton noted. The committee is simply trying to make sure everybody is doing everything correclly. 0 UUP says it seeks 'excellence' in its next contract Scheuerm.... was at UB recently as embers of UUP are commitpan of a plan to visit all 32 UUPted to excellence, though represented campuses, he said.

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

" We"re really not interested in being friends with Prince, and Brian Adams, and Tina Turner. or MTV. "We're not a group that"s going to go · up the pop charts. The '60s were a time before the record industry really knew how to manage the field . Since the '60s the record companies and talent agents and managers have really learned how to fum music into a business. "The "60s were the last moment of freedom when a person could come out of nowhere and be at the top of the charts," concluded Brown. Referring once again t1> forms of reading, Sanford added, " We refuse the reading of the "60s as hippies, flowerchildren, and psychedelic poster art.

"The groups we nked during the "60s were ignored during the "60s," satd Brown referring to groups like the Stoog~s and Velvet Underground . "lbey escaped the banalization because of their obscurity. "The Velvet Underground is a group that alternated between folk and highl y distorted rock music, verging on noise.·· explained Brown. '"Our music has that same dichotomy." What do Sanford and Brown see as the future of this band? "If the band catches on, there"s a chance that when we finish our dissertations, rather than go look for jobs. wc,l become musicians for five years and then come back to teach," said Brown. In the meantime however, " Beverly and I have spent a lot of time writing about music and culture from an academic viewpoint," said Brown. "'So now we're on another side of it.

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

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

" People have rights for the ·simple reason they are humans," says the UB political science profess or. "The y shouldn l be tortured; they should have the right to a trial, and they should be allowed to be a member of a family for instance.

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

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

The Sacrtnce It's OK to adm~ lhat you may balk at lhe idea of seeing yet another film about nuclear war. But "The Sacrifice." one of lhis weekend's UUAB films . is not just another one of those films. Called • a stunningly beautrtul film." by The New York Time s, "The Sacrifice" was directed by IHe Soviet expatriate Andrei Tarl<ovsky. It was filmed in Sweden by cinematographer Sven Nykvist and stars Ertand Josephson. The film focuses neither on burning Uesh nor on' political issues nOI' on the mundane details involved in surviving a disasler. Rather. it follows one man's confrontation with the threat of the most destructive disaster mankind can imagine, and his desperate anempt to block its occurrence. Unlike any other film , The Sacrifice actually makes palpable the fear of nuclear war. And it does a lot more than that. According to the Times. the film " concerns man's spiritual failures in the nuclear age." After ~s screening at last month's New Vorl< Film Feslival, the Village Voice wrote: '1he film .. . is a story of death and resuttection , in which the horror of personal mortalily blazes into a vision of universal destruction. then subsides, no less affectingly, back into itse!f." The Voice points out lhat "The Sacrifice" is Tarkovsky's most accessible f~m. It is also Tarl<ovsky's final wort<; he died of lung cancer in December t986. Over the period of aboul 25 years. T arl<ovsky produced just eighl films. including "Andrei Roublev" (t966), and " Nostalgh ia" ( t983) . which was made in Italy. " Bul this handful of completed worl<s," wr~es the Voice, "is individually of such weight and vision that each one of them alone mighl have secured him a place in filn\ history. A commentator on our modem conditton. an icon pa inter in film and a man of profound belief, ~ was Tarl<ovsky's aim to bring the inward. spiritual world into a state of harmony with the outward. material world." Convinced yet? "The Sacrifice" is beinQ screened at Woldman Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 29, and Friday, Ocl. 30, at 5 and 8 p.m. Tic~ets for the first show are $t .50 for everyone: second show: $2 for students. $3 general I admission. · · o Aein3 offKZ, Beet H.U, Main Suut Campus.

Unlike previously used evaluation tools, which sum up student reaction to for years have not had any effect on teaching effectiveness. Not the way tliey've been used anyway. That's the conclusion of Maryellen Gleason Weimer, head of the Instruc- courses in a manner that Weimer reasons few instructors know how to use, tional Development Program at Penn- sylvania State Univer.;ity. · TCEP can match the results of teacher I According to Weimer, most of those ass ociated with higher educatio n look at uni versi ty-level teaching as a kind of no n-entity.

TCEP will soon be introduced at UB through a pilot program .

" I do n't mention this at my own Institu tio n. for fear they'll get rid of me:· quip ped Weimer. " We were taught that if y6u know the subject yo u ca n teac h it." Research indicates that this is a false a~~ urnption , Wei mer sai d , as s he The program will be wid_ely available in the fall of 1988. addressed the annual fall teaching confere nce sponsored by the Teaching Qua lit y Co mmittee of the Faculty tion at Northeastern Unive rsity, where ennifer Lesley Franklin, an instructional designer for the Office of JInstructional Develo pment and EvaluaTCEP was developed , outlined the project for the conference. According to Franklin, "the heart of Se nate in cooperation with the Office of Teachi ng Effectiveness. the project .. is that instructors receive not only a list of number.;, but also messages listing ;elf-instructional materials that are available on particular topi<:a, and ideas for suppon services on tbe campus. Tbese mes&aies are aenerated u specifiC responses to areas of weakness revealed by the survey reaulu. ... For some instructors, it is nat· suffi- cient to get a message saying that you should go looking .. . in some journal that may or may not be on the shelf in the library," Franklin added. "These instructors need direct personal consultat ion." Such consultation would be made available through TCEP, and might o f the instructors' social sec ur ity numbers. This might have been a co nvenient tool for the promotion process, but was undoubt~ly psychologically devastating to poorly ranked teacher.;, and did nothing to improve their performance, reasoned Weimer. In a formative model, the evaluations would not be used primarily for promotion and tenure purposes, but to help interested instructors improve their teaching. Such tactics as the command o raids in the classroom in which peer observe rs a rrive unannounced, have no place in such an evaluation process, said Weimer. take such forms as co nferences with trained staff membe r.; in the Office of Teaching Evaluation, and for those who are not squeamish, videotaping of classroom sessions. In the jargon of the conference, the TCEP program is formative, and not summalive. Accord ing to Weimer, most evaluation is designed with institutional conve nience in mind - a way to sum up and pass judgement on what has alread y happened. She described a situation in which the evaluations of 60 professors in an W ei mer stated that a major obstacle to successful formative eval uation is facult y resistance which stems from so me tenacious misconceptions about evaluation. She exploded these myths one by one, declaring that it is false that nobody knows what good teaching is. It is false that the backgrounds of students have more impact on evaluations than does teaching effectiveness. And it is false that stude nts use evaluations as unnamed department at an unnamed university were ranked from best to a type of popularity contest, rat ing highly the instructor.; they like.

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

That's because, for the ftrst time ever the University has integrated an intr~mura l -ty p e competition into a recognized University sports team's tournament. The result of the pairing is the UB Classic women's volleyball tournament (the varsity team event) and the UB Challenge Volleyball Tournament for students, faculty, and staff to be held at Alumni Arena tomorroW and Saturday. Challenge tournament teams must be co-ed and have at least ten members. First round matches will be at 9 p.m., Friday. Second round and semi-final matches will be held Saturday morni~g with the final scheduled to be played at 2 p.m. The champion of the tournament will receive two party pizzas and a bucket of chicken wings from Santora 's. D T his is the first year for the Classic tournament and Bob Maxwell , coach of the volleyball Royals, hopes that the fust time is a charm. .. h will be a good tournament ," he said . .. ,, expect ir to come down lo us and Edinboro (University of Pennsylvania) for the championship." Teams from Canisi us College and LeMoyne College will also be at the Classic, whose format is round-robin with best-of-five-games matches. "I don't expect LeMoyne to give us any trouble," added Maxwell. "Canisius is up and down. If they're on, they could be a problem." · So far this year, as in the past few years, UB's Royals have had little problem with most of their opponents. In fact, including this year's record of 16-6 to date, Maxwell's teams have gone I I J-24 over the past three seasons. "I expected us to go about 30-20 this year," said Maxwell . " But now I'm hoping to win. at least 34." Led by senior tri-captains Maria Perry, Barb Tinus, and Beth Mattfeld, the team has both surprised and disappointed Maxwell. "I've been disappointed by the play of some of the players who I thought would come into their own this year." he said. " But I've also been pleasantly surprised by some of the younger players. " his ye ar 's team, which Maxwell said is playing a much tougher schedule than last year's, will have a hard time equaling the 1986-87 squad's accomplishments. To start with , last year's team finished second in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC), had a 52~ record, and was ranked among the top 20 Division Ill women's volley ball teams in the country. Despite those impressive statistics and the reputation this year's Royals have been forced to try to live up to, Maxwell is pleased with his team's progress. "I was a little nervous before the season started because we had lost three starters with I I years of starting experience among them," said Maxwell . " But the younger players, especially sophomores Kelly Brennan, Karren Goetz, and Cheryl Giese, have done a good job and filled the void that was T left by the three who are gone." M axwell knew that this year 's schedule would be much tougher than last year's. "We were supposed to be a Division II team this year," explained Maxwell. "So we scheduled almost all of our matches against Division II teams ... As we all know now, the University 's plans to upgrade athletics were put on hold and the women's volleyball team is stuck in a catch-22 situation. They have a Division II schedule, but are classified as a Division Ill school, have no scholarship players, and are no longer a member of the SUNY AC. Maxwell said the team has responded well to the situation. "We're pla ying pretty well right now," he said . "If we had played the same schedule as we did last year, we'd be undefeated ." Maxwell's bold statement does not seem to be too far from the truth, given the high caliber of competition the team has played and will play. For example, the Royals have beaten Division II powerhouse Gannon two out of three times this year and still must play the likes of Ithaca College and Albany State. Right now , U B is ranked sixth in the The Royals are ranked 6th in the northeast in women's volleyball. Northeastern U.S. region. The ftrst fou r teams in \h~ region are ranked in the top 20 nationally. "We play the teams that are ahead of us, ... said Maxwell, .. so we can move up if we win." ven though the team is out of the SUNY AC, they could still compete E for the Division Ill national title by receiving an at-large bid to the national tournament. "Because we finished secood in the conference last year, - received an atlarge bid," said Maxwell. "We'll get the same bid this year." MaxweU, in his seventh . year as the Royals' coach, loolcs forward to the day when UB makes the move to Division II. . "We've been getting good recruits the Jut few years and have shown that we can play at that level," he said. Ull's first match in the Classic will be on Friday at 7 p.m. apinst LeMoyne. Tbe Royals will then meet Edinboro on Saturday at noon and will conclude the tournament against Canisius at 3 p.m. 0 UB's Mad Turtles place second in rugby·ch,mpionships By JIM McMULLEN B's Mad Turtles rugby club is a determined group of guys. They're successful, too, fimsh. ing second in the Upstate Rugby Union championships last weekend at Delaware Park. The team 's Oct. 17 victory over Buff State clinched this season's Western Division title (the team's second in three years) and propelled them to the Upstate champio nship games Oct. 24 a nd 25. There they secured the second place title by defeating Cortland 18-10 on Saturday, but missed ftnt place, losing 14-6 to Plattsburgh on Suoday. Rugby, for the uninitiated, is a sport which combines elements from American football and soccer. The game is played with a ball that looks suspiciously like · a squi.shed egg (from a monster-sized chicken). The idea is to move the ball from one end of the field to score a "try" at the other. Some of you may have heard that rugby is a pretty vtolent sport. Well, you heard right. Cuualties from the U weekend games include o ne broken jaw and lots of bruises. Actually, the team loses more players to sickness (rugby is an all-weather sport) than to inju ry, according to Frank Baker, president of the Mad Turtles. What makes rugby different from many other sports at U B is that the team is an SA club, rather than a University-sponsored athletic team. That means a lot in terms of organization, administration, and team spirit, Baker said . Practice goes on every day, with a weekly scrimmage on Wednesday, but to play in the weekend game, players only have to make two days. "Most guys show up four or five days a week anyway," Baker remarked. Practices are run by team captains Doug Flynn and Steve Molloy, because the team bas no official coach. " But we're about as successful as ·other teams with high-powered coaches, and more successful than many," Baker noted. "Playing the game as a club sport means there's a Jot Jess p~;CSSure on individual team members than with n:gular sports teams," he added, "but we play the game just as hard as anybody e lse." Team members don't have to devote all of their spare time and part of their work time to the game. That makes for a good atmosphere and excellent team spirit, all of which have added up to an impressive record in recent years. This year's Mad Turtles have had an 8-2 season, competing both within the Upstate Union of college clubs and in a tournament with other men 's clubs. The team captured the Upstate Uni on ftrst place tttle in 1984. R ugb y clubs are organized and integrated int~ unions throughout the United States. Division schedules are centrally organized within those unions, but beyond that, teams can decide where and with whom they want to play. The team can basically go wherever they want, Baker said. That's provided they have time and can afford the trip. The club was for~J~~. !~ . 1~?~'-bt~t. ~~. .0.'\!Y -~.?.~!.>'.~ recognized and funded by SA. Now they have a budget from SA, supplemented by fund-raisers, which pays for uniforms, equipment, travel expenses, and social events (the home team traditionally throws a party after every game). The Universit y has also recently granted the team access to training facilities in Alumni Arena. "Rugby at UB has really grown in the last five years," Baker said. The rugby club is "very secure" and is starting to get accepted into the University circle. Part of the team's popularity is owing to its composition. "Participants come from a variety of ethnic, geographic, and diacipUnary areu in the Univenity, • Balter noted. "There's team spirit, but ·the group is also like a fraternity - very clote-Icnit. Everyone who comes and sets interested ends up playing. It's addictina. " That llljdtctton and dedication keep players coming back week after week and season after season, pusina their knowledfO on to new P.iayers, and ·for- .~~~g~!?~~~!.e!.•f~J.t?. r!~·..... o �October 211, 1987 Volume 111, No. 8 ·LJBriefs Management namH Gerrity senior development officer The School of Management has named M icha.el w Gerrity senior development officer.

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

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

The effort, which has the · theme, "Pathways to Greatness," will be spread over the next several years. Introduced at a press conference and puhlic reception for prospective donors, this first University capital campaign in more than a quarter century is designed to raise additional endowment funds for enrichment of faculty resources, scholarships and fellowships, arts programs, and other ventures on campus. "State budgetary lines cannot meet all of the University's needs, nor can they provide the flexibility that is absolutely essential for the University to thrive," said UB President Steven B. Sample. "Joining private support with State dollars will permit the ,University at Buffalo to achieve its goal of becoming one of the nation's top 10 public research universities by the end of the century." for'Ihe Unwersity A atB~o Thno In , . _ , ' �October 22, 1987 .Volume 19, No. 7 Q Capital Drive From Page I The campaign would allocate: • S25 millio n to establish 25 end owed facu lt y chairs, • $7.5 million for graduate fellowships and research assistantships, • S5 million for undergrad uate scholars hips, and • $4 million fo r endowed professo rships in the new underg radu ate college. It also would provide : • $3 .5 million for programming fo r the soo n-to-be-b uilt Fine Arts Center, • S2 millio n for acquisitions for the University's art collectio n a nd 20th Century poetry collection. ~nd • $5 million fo r unrestncted endowment . mo ng the contributions so far ar~ a $1.1 mi llion gift fro m the Ba1rd A Fo undation. two anonymo us gifts of Sl million each. $800.000 collected during the School of Pharmacy 's IOOth Anni- ~ ve rsary fu nd -raising campaign last year, ~ and $500,000 each from alumni Mark ~ W.

"' The Baird Foundation gift, made in ~ 1984 and designated fo r th e develop- t ment of a research park adjacent to the Amherst Ca mpus, was the .. ins pi rat i~ n fo r the cam paign," Mansfield ~ s~td . Although not related to the cam pa1gn per sc, the gift was the direct result of the camp aign's feasibility st ud y that ye ar , he added . The pharmacy school fund-raising effort is co nsidered the initial phase of the campai gn. University officials said . The first 18 months of the drive are aimed at on ly those donors capable of giving at least $25,000, cam~aign orga nizers said. About 2,000 md1v1dua ls will be solicited in that category. After that, ot her individuals will be asked for a minimum of S5 ,000 over the ne xt five years. UB's campaige goal of S52 million is relatively modest when compared with those of other major universities currently conducting capital campaigns, including Stanford at S 1.1 billion , Columbia at S500 million, Ohio State at S350 million, Notre Dame at S300 million , and Penn State at S200 million. However, there are several reasons why UB's goal is not larger, Joseph J . Mansfield, .!'resident of the UB Foundation (UB~). said : • As a public university, UB has never had a major fund -raising campaign; the last campaign was in the late 1950s and early 1960s, prior to the University's merger with SUNY . • U B does not have the long tradition of alumni involvement of other universities such as Michigan, Illinois, and Stanford. • UB does not have a strong spons program that attracts suppon from alumn i and others. " It's a matter of image and pride ," Philip J . Brunskill, director of development for the UBF, said . "The fact is, (a higher goal) would never be sustained by our supporters; at th1~t it would ove rwhelm them. A S$2~ mil' lion campaign is do-able with considerable effort on everybody's part. One hundred million dollars is not." Brunskill noted that Penn State includea in its S200 million goal the S30 million it raises each year through the Annual Fund. The UB goal is "over and above" what the University raises each year, he indicated. Further Penn State includes 22 campuses ' statewide, so its campaign would be comparable to the SUNY system conducting a campaign, he said. " It's hard to make .campus to campus, university to umvers1ty compansons," he said. T he U B campaign involves major community figures . It will be headed by National Campaign Chairman Northrup R . Knox , · president of the Buffalo Sabres and a member of the UBF board. Edwin F. Jaeckle, Seymour H. Knox , Sr., and Robert E. Rich, Sr., will serve as honorary chairmen. Jeremy M . Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer or Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UBF; M. Robert Koren, a local attorney and chairman of the University Council; and Robert G . Wilmers, chairman and CEO of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, will serve as co-chairmen. Ross B. Kenzie, chairman and CEO of Goldome, will chair the major gifts division. National chairman Knox noted th at the drive is important because the future of the Buffalo community is " inexorably intertwined with the future of UB. That's it in a nutshell ." Knox noted that private investment in the 1820s supplemented State funds and allowed the Erie Canal to come to Buffalo. "We are now faced with a similar opportunity t o help Bu ffalo through this campaign, a once-in-alifetime opportunity to help create a great university right here in our own backyard." The kickoff of the campaign Monday , the same day the stock market dived 508 points, recalled the university's second fund-raising drive in 1929. That campaign ended the day the stock market crashed, and many pledges were never fulfilled. However. Mansfield does noi foresee the same fate for this campaign. While there may be a temp~rary reacti o n by potentaal donors " th1s week. or th is month," he said he. doesn' see the cur- rent stock market situation having a long-term effect on the campaign. "This is a five-year campaign," he said . "The immediate impact of the fluctuation of the stock market is not apparent in historic fund raising. In the past 50 years, philanthropy bas had steady growth a nd has not been affeeted by wars. depressions or any President Sample (top) with campaign banner at Slee Hall. National chairman Northrup R.

That shows that the patent examiner was aware of those patents, but issued the new patent in spite of them. This is critical because a patent can be overtu rned if it can be proved that the invention had existed previously, or is so close to something that already existed that it would be obvious, Sampie explained . If a certain prior art is listed on a ·pate nt, however, it's harder to use that prior art to ovenurn the patent in coun. The search of the prior C:elied on a ve ry archaic system at hat time, Sample noted. Patents we stored in what looked like shoe boxes. Each box represented a different category, such as timers, d is hwashers, and ovens. The patent examiner would thumb through • the boxes and keep a record or which ones he looked at. s the primary in,.ve nt o r of an elecA tronic d igi tal control syste m used in home appliances. he made possi ble those complicated coo king cycles fo und on microwave ovens. The device makes possible the to uch pads that control cooking, time delays that .allow yo u to defrost in the morning and cook in the evening, even sensors that know when food is done. The invention was conceived in 1967 when Sample was an assistant professo r in electrical engineering at Purdue University. Design and Man ufacturing Corporation (D&.M), a large manufacturer or dishwashers, offered him the "kingly" rate or $20 an hour to find a way to replaa the mqchanical switches that controlled the ..water valves and motor. The compan,y wanted something that w«_>uld cut ~own on arcing, Sample Sa.Jd, and w~eaning toward using liquid switches. Instead, Sample came up with something very, very different - an electronic digital control system. To understand the significance, you have to put yourse lf in a 1960s' mind-set, he told his aud ience - this was before the days or hand-held calculators and digital watches. The first model the researchers built measured about a foot square. .. Obviously, this device was very impractical," Sample said. It was a complicated device contai ning about 1,000 components, and the whole thing was hand-wired . It cost about SIO,OOO. But the researchers had faith that they would someday be able to get rid or the hand wiring and develop integrated circuits that contained 1,000 components and cost only SIO. (An integrated circuit is a tiny complex or electronic components and· thetr connections that is produced on a small piea: of material .) The state or the art is well beyond that today, Sample noted. Now yo u can get 10 times that many components on an integrated circuit that costs less than a dollar. "That was beyo nd our wildest • ~ dreams," Sample said . 3 ft er four years or effort , the researchers came up with a working model of thei r device that could fit ~ into a dishwasher.

In its defense, Amana said That its device was not a custom-made circuit for appliance control like the Sample · device, but a computer. D&M saw it differently. The device that Amana used was called a microcomputer chip by the s'!eplier, Sample • said, because the final manufactunng step could crease something to be used in a personal computer. But what the manufacturer did for Amana in that final step was to create a dedicated, single purpose integrated circuit for a microwave oven. Aild that's what the Sample patent protected.

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

I have begun with the definition from Webster's dictionary so that by the end of this essay yo u may decide whether Mr Rifkin is a demagogue or a re~onable watchdog of science and technology. Who am \'? \ am a visiting \ecl\~re r at thi.s University and a research asslstant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. l have taughr all or parts of four different genetics courses here over the last four years.

I feel that l am in a position to understand tht~ controversy in detail. l am a geneuc engineer. I am also the frustrated , distraught , surly membe r of th~ . aud ience that Mr. Chase menttoned tn his article. T The man & his tactics Does anyone remember Mr. Rifkin's credentials? Of course you don'· because neither the gentleman who introduced him, nor Mr. Chase in his article, took the time to tell us Mr .. Rifkin's background, so that we m1ght judge his credentials. . Mr. Rifkin graduated from. the University of Pennsylvama wtth a degree in economics in 1967. He further has a master's degree in international affairs from Tufts university. He has established a lobbying group called the Foundation on Economic Trends, an~ his job was reported in 1986 to pay h1m $45,000 per year. "Sc:>mehow th is man has emerged as the smgle most influential l"'rson in the country on genetic engmeering. "(I) In spite of this background.: the . Reporter descnbed htm as a. sctenttstactivist." I have sean:bed &:1ence Citation index for some ev1dence that Mr. Rifkin has contributed to the scientific literature over tbe last five yean. His only paper in that period was entitled ~The Other Half of the Computer Revolution" in the JOUrnal Datamation. volume 29, page 260 (1983).

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

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

Maslin& added. that UB has made enormous improvement in appointments - they're splendid, he said.

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

The reclassiftcation is a SUNY-wide atkmpt to creak a sensible series of job titles, Wilson said. No one's salary was decreased under tbe plan. or 556 professional employees at UB, 376 received increases, Wilson indicated . The plan calls for six "PR" ranks iastead of four. As people were moved into new ranks, many were given raises to bring them up to the new minimum salary in their ranks. At UB, 60 per cent of the money went for this purpose, Wilson said. The other 40 per cent of lbe money went to address inequities created by the process of shifting people, he explamed. . if an employee who F orhas example, been ben: only a short time received an increase brings him to that the same salary as a longtime employee with the same rank and title, the second employee could get a raise. Anyone: can appeal any part of his or her new classiftcation. But at a meeting last week, some people were concerned that appealing their salary would be futile if UB has already spent all of its money. There are soun:es of money to cover increases in salaries that result from appeals, Wilson said. One sowa: is through attrition, be indicated. n.e salary increases are retroactive until July, but won't be paid until December. People who le&Ye tbe UniYenity before December wonl get any money. That frees money up for people wbo stay. SUNY has also set aside $160,000 for the whole system to cover apPeals. Also, the money that the otber campuses turned back may be used, be said.

In addition to physical symptoms which c:haracleriz.e the disease, Slater says that diffollties with spouses, and fear of rejection or abando nment can lead to further trouble. A patient may withdraw from participation in life and ultimately deYelop feelings of worthless- A ness. Professional. advice and care from nurses, physic:al and oa:upatiooal therapists, social workers and otben are o(tell --=-ary iJ1 onler for tbe patient to maintain a "wdbbess" rather than a "sickness" outlook, said Slater, consultant on service programs for the National Society. While it is still unclear how the mind specificially influences the body, negaltve attitudes and emotions have been shown to lead to psychological and physical illnesses, Slater noted. Certainly tbe patient with a chronic or progressive d isorder who feels overwhelmed by problems at home. at work, and in daily life can easily feel tbere are no options and giYe in to a feeling of loss of control. On the other band, many patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are able to lead productiYe, uoeful, quality lives beeause tbey have worked at maintaining u positive an attitude as possible while also being realistic. awrence D. Jacobs, M.D., chief of L research at tbe Dent Neurologic lnstituk at Millard Fillmore Hospital and a UB .faculty member, told tbe · audience of encouraging n:sulll from his pionee~ studies with inkneron. He has used tnterferon in studies with patienll who baYe tbe exacerbatingremitting form of multiple ocleroois. An operating budget, Wi~n said. person can appeal his salary on grounds that it's not equitable. But several asked how they can do that. since tbey aren't sure what othen in th< same position make. Wilson sY.,pathized, but said that he won't post a list of everyone's salaries. The union has a copy of everything that was done, be added, lobbing the ball into tbe court of United University Professions. "If there's any doubt, appeal," said Albert Ermanovics, vice president/ professionals for UUP's Buffalo Center Chapter. Appeals can be submitted until the 0 end of tbe month, Wilson said. A MS patients even larger. multicenter study . is planned in tbe near future which will involve trials in which Beta interferon wiU be injected into these patients intravenously as weU as inltathecally (via lbe lumbar spine). His earlier studies, which involved introducing interferon, .a natural substance produced by c:db wben tbey are invaded by viruses, directly into spinal fluid reduced tbe number of flare-ups of the disease in many patients. But, be reported, tbere is aew evideoce that intravenous injections may be similarly eiJectiYe. In addition to Beta interferon, other drugs are CWTellUy being examiDed u pokntial treatmeDIS for multiple ~ roois, said Robei- M. Herndon, M.D., a neurologist with the Univenity of Rocbestcr Medical Center. Among these, ~ said, are Cytoun, lmuran and cyclosporin - all ol wbic:b have been shown to supprea tbe body's immune system, ACTH, a steroid, and syathetic stcroicfs such • pnxlnisone, which have long been used in treatment of acute attacb of M.S. "'There is some evideoce • a result of tbele studies,• Hemdoa -..1, "doat higher doses of these drugs than have been normally used by neurologists may be more effective." C art V. Granger, M.D., head of rehabilitation medicine at Buffalo General Hospital and a UB faculty member, told tbe audieuce that because the bcalth condition of tbe M.S. patient is not stalic, a flexible treatment plan should be drawn up to address tbele chaDp in condition.

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

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

Study and Faculty Studeat Astociation By FRANK BAKER ben there is Ulk of an increase in anything, UB students usually do two things - criii8C and reach for thci:r wallets. But not this time. Instead, students arc smiling because the Univenity in fiSCal year 1986-87 paid out $16,173,887 for its student payroll, an incn:aac of more than $2 million (or 15 per a:nt) over the previous year. · Sound unusual?

In fact, this year's figure is double that of the 1980-lll payroll W fnndiJ!&. Worlr. Study students serve in a number of cap.acitiea.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thorpe, vice provost for undergraduate education. The Undergraduate Initiative is a SUNY-w1de budget enhancement of $15 million. Like the Graduate and Research Initiative, it is to be a five-year plan. UB is ask. _ ing for $1.7 million for 1988-89. In particular, UB's request keys m on the va n ous aspects of the undergraduate college: freshman semmars, a new program that began this fall ; a new approach to general education, including world civi lization courses that may start next year, and an interdisciplinary scie nct course for non-majors, he said. Academic advising and student life for funding under the initiative. �. 'October 15, 1887 Volume II, No. 6 Upgrade Many of these projects, already in the planning stages, will take significant resources. "The timing of the Undergraduate Initiative couldn~ be better," Thorpe said, because it supplies some of these badly needed funds . There are other pressing needs, and it is hoped that they can be addressed in later years of the mitiative, he no~ed. U B is targeting things that are already in the planning stages beca~ there's a strong case for more fundrng in those areas. But the time factor also played a role. The campus was given about a week: this summer to prepare its request, Thorpe said. This campus tried to ask for the money in fairly flexible _categories so t·hat we're not tied to use 1t m a certam way, Thorpe said . .. The ~ore nexibility we have, the better we can use it," he said. Here are the main features of UB's Undergraduate Initiative: like 60 tuition scholarships at an annual cost of $81 ,000. To enhance the cultural enrichment aspect of thts program, $5,000 is requested. . · U B also wants to establish a new dimension of the Honors Program From Page I called the Creative and Performmg Arts Component.

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

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

Would the .li~t coming from behind catch up Wttb him? What would the world look like? Would things in front seem distorted?

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

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

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

University Services EDITOR'S NOTE: Even if you once knew what each vice president s j ob was, the recent University reorganization has probably left you thoroughly muddled. This article is the first in a series that will explain the responsibilities of each vice president and the provost. By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO T he key th ing to ..:member about Robert J. Wagner, vice president for Universi ty services, is that he's now UB's chief business officer. Most of th e student services that used to report to him, such as admissions and student affai", have been transferred to the provost. Wagner does continue to oversee student finances and records. but that's because two of that office's three functions have to d o with money, he ex plai ned . While Wag ner has reli nquished some duties, he has taken on more in other areas. Triuered by the intention of Vice Pr.:s1dent Edward W. Doty to retire, several of the business functions have already been transferred from finance a nd manageme nt to Universit y services. Eventually, the ot her areas under finance and manageme nt will be transferred to Wagner. Another change in Wagner's area is that informatio n technology - a term that encompas se s eve r ything from co mputers to high-tech telephone sys· terns - is now grouped together. There's also a growing .connection between information techn olo~ and the libraries, Wagner noted , so 1t's use· ful to have them both ..:porting to the same vice president. Wagner noted that he wants the people who report to him to exercise a lot of independence in decision-making. Here 's what University services now encompasses: • Financial and Campus Services Leonard F . ·Snyder is associate vice president and controller. He oversees the busi ness offt.ces: payroll, accounts payable, travel, accounting, and tbe Faculty-Student Association. Student finances and records, which used to ..:port directl y to Wagner, now also ..:ports to Snyder. Two of its three functions, student accounts and financial aid, are financial in nature, Wagner explained . The third function is ..:gistratiOn and records. Another change is that a portion of the campus services unit now reports to Snyder, and a portion remains in fi nance and management. Snyder's porti on of campus services includes p"urchasi ng, ca pit al equipment , ce nt ral duplicating, and equipment inventory. • Computing and Information Technology Hinrich R. Martens is associate vice president. His positio n has changed rath er s ignificantly , Wag ner said , betause he has taken on the Educational Co mmun icatio ns Center (ECC) and the Telecommunications Office in addition to tbe Computing Center. The new &{Ouping reflects what is happening at ot her large uni versities. Wagner said. Because of the co mple x technology now being used wi th telephone systems. telecommunications is bein~ grouped with co mput ing instead of w1th the business office. Large un iversities are replacing their telephone systems with their "own telephone compan ies , " Wagner said . They're ..:placing the equipment Ma Bell used to provide with sophisticated equipment that will carry not only voice, but compl.rter data and sometimes video. U B has hi..:d a telecommunications specialist to help plan for a coove,.ion to new equipment that will probably begin in 1990, Wagner said . Office telephones would have both voice and data capabilities and classrooms would be able. to receive video. • Libraries The only thing tha t 's c hanged in ihis area is Barbara vo n Wahlde's title. Beca use of the scope of von Wahlde's responsibilities in this lar~ and com· plex operation, she was g1ven the title of associate vice president. Wagner said . • Resource Planning This a..:a hasn't changed since it was established a year and a half ago, Wagner said. It includes three offices: architectural services, which plans new facilities; the budget office, and space management. Space management keeps an iriven· tory of space, but doesn't assign rooms, Wagner explained. Rooms ar<: assigned Vice President Robert Wagner with rare ·'lolume from the . UniverSity Libr~ries Co11ection . The Cibr'l!ries are one of the several areas that report to Wagner. See story and chart. by the provost o r the vice president who co ntrols the space. • Public Safety Lee Griffin is the onl y di..:ctor ..:port· ing d i..:ctly to Wagner. "That's due to the nature of what public safety . is responsible for," Wagner noted .

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

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

For the same reason , however, the services are not available to every company on demand . ••Local and state government do not want to put money and time and resources into a Company that isn't going to last the year out anyway, " explained Drury. "They want to target companies where a fairly small amount of outside ex~rtise is going to make a significant difference to the competitiveness , and the effectiveness of that company in the world market." he first stage of TCIE involvement T operations. In Western New York, in a company is an analysis of its Drury sees a fairly typical pattern. ""You see the same scenario over and over. again," said Drury. "A company bas been manufacturing a product for a long time - it's a mature product. Something which is available from other manufacturer'S . . .. Suddenly a . small company that nobody's ever.heard of in South Korea comes in with a better quality product at 40 per cent of the price. And this comes as a real surprise." According to Drury, many companies in Western New .York produce socalled "mature products." Part of the TCIE process is to assist a company to forestall trouble before it's too late. "If the cm:npany had a few million dollars lying around they'd be able to modernize," said Drury. Because thiS 1s not likely, a coml'anr must change the production . organua.u on to get control over tbe manufactunng process. . As example, Drury cited an alum- an Wolf spoke about changing attitudes in manufacturing , with particular the world market is never-endtng. years ago , when Trico first faced the need for reorganization. no assistance .. While we are sitting here talking about this, there are lots and lots of workers, supervisors , and m:t.nagers over in Japan working into the middle like that offered by TCI E and WNYEDC was available.

No one knew the purpose of this. but it became apparent when we were re leased into the main sq u~re . Chinese TV had been set up to capture the Tibetan festivities and happy foreigners. Tibetans are very friendly but are not afraid to push and shove , and there was a lot of that to come.

It is for precise ly this . rea so n t~~~ Barb3:ra C hri s t y, presi dent, C1v tl Servace Employees Local 602, is encouraging members to d onate to this year's drive. "The co ntribution t h e University mak es to SEFA / United Way can help to make a difference in th e quality of life of ot hers who might need hel p at so me tim e, fo r so me reaso n. during this co min g year," she said . ' " In addition, generous giving by our empl oyees can help th e' Uni versi ty set a sta ndard to be match ed hopefully by o th er instituti ons and industries in the a rea Last year, U B ranked seve nlh among 57 large un iversi ti es in terms of the amount of money raised to supp ort th e Unit ed Wa y. These co ntributi o ns alSo won the Uni ve rsity the McFarland Cup , a local honor presented by the Un it ed Wa y t o th e di vis ion th a t exceeds its re newable ca rd value by the greatest perce nt age. .. As worke rs who are fairly sec ure in a job with good benefits for tomorrow, nex t month, and the ye ars to co me, we sho uld share some of our good fort une with ou r brothe rs and siste rs who are not so fortunate in th is a rea of high un empl oy ment where so man y have see n thei r life's wo rk and drea ms vanis h a long with th e industri es and plants that empl oyed them." Ch ri st y said . A ~ _ § i7i o ~ Barbara Christy of CSEA. This year U 8 hopes to rai se $4JO,OQO to benefit the· United Way and its agencies and other health and huma n services organizations. Information about SEFA wi ll be available in each employee's department through o ut the campaign , which ends tomorrow. 0 Drive is in home stretch, leaders are optimistic ith one week remaining in the 1987 SEFA campaign, organizers of the annual fund-raiser, which benefits the United Way, last Friday were pleased with the results and op timistic that the University will reach its goal. .. l think it's going very well. We're on the home stretch," said Bonnie Bul· loug_h , dean of nursing and coordinator of this year's drive. " We have a group of dedicated volunteers who are making sure that everyone turns in a card, and that's helping tremendously." She noted that organizers are especially pleased with efforts that have been made to seek contributions from people who previously have not contributed to SEFA. " We've really broadened our University family ." Bullough noted that one of the goals of the 1987 campaign was to re ach o ut to people who work on campu s but aren't employees of the University. " We're getting good response from the bookstore," she said, .. and we're very excited about the student campaign," which includes two fund-raisers, to be held this fall, co-sponsored by the Office of Student Life. The . first will be a chicken wingeating contest, the United Way Wingathon, to be held at noon on Friday, Oct. 23 in Capen Lobby. "We're trying to lay the groundwork for a traditiOn," said Ed Brodka, Student Life Program assistant. "'We're doing this so that fund-raisers will be continued in the future." W C <Hponsoied by the undergraduate Student· ' Association, the United Way Wingatbon will ask participants to solicit pledges for the number of wings they are able to eat during the contest time limit. Local restaurants will be contributing chicken wings for the contest, Brodka said. Wingathon sign-up tables will be set up in Capen Lobby beginning Monday, Oct. 19. A donation box will be available during the fund-raiser for addi· tional contributions. • " We want to emphasize that the Wingathon is less of a competition than a fund-raiser in which the community and students are contributing to the good of the United Way and all the agencies it supports," Brodk.a said. The second event will be a marathon basketball a nd vo lleyball tournament, co-sponso red by Clifford Furnas Col· lege, which will be held from 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 to 3 p.m. Sunday. Nov. 8 in Alumni Arena. Teams, comprised of students, faculty, and staff, will play 15 minute games once each hour throughout the night. The entry fee for each team is a minimum of $75 for both events or $50 for one eve nt, and proceeds will benefit the United Way. Registration forms are avai lable at 452 Fargo Quadrangle and all Help Center locations . Prizes will be awarded. "This type of fund-raiser to benefit the United Way is being done at a number of schools in the country," said Joe Kralcowiak, director, Office of Stu· dent Life.

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

By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he Graduate Student Employees Unio n (GSEU) plans to appeal a decision that ruled that graduate and teaching "'I don' think you can separate them that easily," McGreevy said. • In the beginning of the document. PERB describes how the jobs are releva nt to the degree programs. In the ass istants are primarily students, not deci sio n, however, McGreevy said , employees. The decision by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) stymies the GAs in SUNY in their attempt to PERB rules that whether the 'job and degree programs relate is subjective and should be disregarded. organize a labor union. wllether a job benefits a student academically, McGreevy argues. Students aren' allowed to take the same class twice, but they are allowed to do the same job twice. A student may learn from a job the first semester, but after T 1 The students don' know what to expect from an appeal "because we expected to win this one," said Timothy McGreevy, former vice president of the GSEU who was a teaching assistant at U B for three and a half years. The graduate students had hoped that precedents in other states would sway the decision in their favor. Graduate students have unions at the univers ities of Michigan , Wisconsin , Oregon, and Florida, as well as at Rutgers, CUNY, and the University of Toronto, he said . GAs ·and TAs at the University of California at Berkeley recently achieved the first legal step to ward forming a union. The case comes down to giving graduate assistants the rights they deserve as workers1 McGreevy argues. "When you have a job, you should have some rights ," he said . "T he employers shouldn' hold the entire deck of cards." Graduate students who hold jobs outside the University at places like Burger King ha~e rights, he noted. " It shouldn' be a disadvantage to work for SUNY," he went on. cGreevy sees the PERB decision as political. "(Govenior) Cuomo, who is ultimately responsible, thinks we're more expendable than the groups or agencies that oppose us," the graduate student said. "He doesn' care if we get mad - we're not that effective. We can' vote· him out of office." There are several problems with the decision, according to McGreevy: • - The beginning of the d®ument describes bow the GA /TA system runs and acknowledges that graduate assistants have a dual role: as students and as employees. Yet in tbe decision, PERB statca that one role, the stuc!ent M There are indeed ways to measure four, five, or six semesters in a row, he's "just performing chores." • PERB didn' want to do a cost analysis of who benefits more from the GA system, tbe graduale assistant or the University, because it depends on whom you ask. "But it"s quite quantifiable in dollars and cents," McGreevy contends. He added that he "s critical of the system, not of individual deans or departments. "If you can hire someone at a quarter of the price, that's what you"re going to do," he said. P ERB ruled that graduate assistants are primarily students because: I . assistantships are awarded only to students in good academic standing; 2. academic failure results in loss of the assistantship no matter how good a job the student is doing, and 3. t!le amount the student is paid doesn' depend on how well be or she does the work. "It's Shocking to- me that we dldn' get the minimum - recognition as employees of the State. doing a job for SUNY," McGreevy said. The money GA~ receive is for work they do; it"s not a gift, he added. McGreevy noted that it took almost three years for PERB to reach a decision in this case. The original petition was submitted at the end of 1984. he said. · The idea of a union for graduate students has been kicking around since the early 1970s. An attempt at a USonly union was set up around 1977, but it wun' succcuful 1n negotiating with theo-Ptaident Ketler, he said. 0 In his conClusion, Rifkin insisted that there is notfting inevitable about the direction of our technology. He urged scientists to pursue technologies based on empathy rather than mastery ovc:r nature. In particular he cited possibillties for exclting techno: · logical developments in agriculture, solar energy, preventive health maintence , and nutntion.

March 22-25: Aprll1: There is not a whole1ot to do in Kathmandu besides eating, sleeping, and walking through the shops. It is somewhat of a tourist trap for travelers For the past few days. I have been traveling at a breakneck pace to make it back to Kathmandu in time for the return flight to H.K. Since the 17th I 'have seen the sights in Agra where the Taj Mahal is located. New Delhi is a bustling metropolis unlike any other I have seen in India. It has much to offer •in the way of luxuries and well preserved ancient forts and pavilions, but makes for very colorful trucking scenery.

We finally made it to the Thamel District in Kathmandu at about midnight. Half the group took up accommodations at the Kathmandu Guesthouse at S7.50 per person. one of the most expensive and _respected places to coming from Ind ia. Very few American tourists, many Europeans. The atmosphere here is fascinating as are the sights. The members of the bus tour began to split up after a few days of rest, but before that happened we all got together for a few nights of partying. Some of us had been together smce meeting at the airport in Chengdu. We met others in Lhasa. Kathmandu is where it ends for us as a group.

Thousands of o ne can't avoid being a tourist. In search of some more adventure I am off to Corbett National Park, the largest park in India, in hopes of catching a glimpse of a wild tiger. The guide searched for tigers for about 2 ~ hours. but we had no luck.. Instead, we saw various wild deer, wild boar, and wild elephants. April 3: Yesterday and today were grueling. After another elephant trek the following morning' in hot sun, compounded by a lack of sleep, I promptly proceeded to get sick, and had a truly gutwrenching night on the train from Lucknow to the Nepal border. I think I have been careless in drinking the water. I stopped purifying a few days ago with no Immediate effects.

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

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

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.

B's p.-.,liminary fall semester enrollment total of 27,477 is the largest in the history of the University, figu= ...,_ leased this week by Jeff.-.,y Dutton, Ph.D., di.-.,ctor of institutional st ud ies, ind icate. But it's not the total that's the most significant aspect of the fall enrollment picture, Dutton pointed out. The real news, he feels, is how the inc.-.,ase of 506 students (or 1.9 per cent) over last fall came about even as the University consciously attempted to reduce first-time f=hmen and overall undergraduate numbers. Factors responsible for the increase, Dutton noted, are an unprecedented growth in graduate c:nrollmenu, increased retention of both undergraduate and graduate students (because of ~the .-.,cent .-.,cruitment of proportionally g.-.,ater numbers of highly qualified studentsj, and highly successful minority and transfer student recruitment efforts. Continued on page 2 �OIIIIW I. 1111 V......t,No. 5 class, for' example, increased. by more than 1,000 (a 7 per cent rise) over last fall - the fourth consecutive year that UB has experienced an increase in such applicati9ns.

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

So sharp was the increase that e.nrollment of underrepresented minorities not only surpasaed goals for 19117, but exceeded next year's targets as ~u .

A s an indication of the success being experienced in this direction, fall A 1987 graduate enrollment is the largest in UB history. Since Fall 1984, in fact, Dutton reported, ·graduate enrollments have increaSed by more than II per cent, from 7878 to 8763. · In the general academic program areas, the growth has been even more dramatic - a I 5 per cent rise, from 60!9 to 6933. New graduate enrollments over the same four-year span have moved from 2201 in 1984 to 2551 in this year's preliminary count. The increases have come primarily in . several areas, Dutton •said. Arts and Sciences, Education, Engineering, Management, Social Work, and Medicine have achieved the greatest expansion. but all academic $faduate pr:ograms have grown dunng the freshmen who mrolled bere 'in the Fall of 1984." That's signiflCIIIlt, the institutional studies director suuested , because in any Biven year, the "average academic: performance scores of enrolling freshmen normally exceed .the aver.agc of the total applicat II'OUp." To have the quality o( all today's applicants outstrip the quality of those enrolting just three years 110 represents unprecedented srowth in' quality, Dutton' laid.

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

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

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

Rather than drop the project, the school scrounged funds from anywhere they could, including their dean and' -the resources of faculty researchers who were dedicated to undergraduatc.participation. David DeLapp relates that the MiniRaja project is fortunate to have fundina from Fisher-Price, National Fuel, Calspan, Dunlop, and the Buffalo section of the American Society of Mechaoical Eft&inecn.

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

Triggle, dean of the School of Pharmacy and chair of the committee, said this week. The Faculty Senate and Graduate Faculty, prompted b;y a controversy ove r whether programs in the Department of Statistics should be eliminated and who has the power to make such a decision, last year had urged that such · a committee be established. The committee will not, however, reeval uate or second-guess decisions made by Thomas George, dean of Na. ural Sciences a·nd Mathematics, Triggle said. Instead , he indicated , it will examine where, how, and why the discipline of statistics is taught on this campus. The committee is looking for a model of statistics that fits its service, researph·, and teaching functions. At one extreme, all of those functions might be placed in the Department of Statistics . At the other extreme, none would be there. S The commitee will report to Provost William Greiner. No deadline for a report has been. set, but the committee will try to be timely, Triggle said. The members were appointed through the provost's- office from a list compiled through direct solicitation from the deans. . " It'S fairly representative of the research community and of the several disciplines in which statistics Is involved," Triggle said. There are no representatives from the Statistics Department on the ad hoc co-mmittee, nor are there representatives of the dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Triggle said he feels it's better to have representatives of those areas come to the committee and talk · as "freely as they wish. " If we're deciding something· campuswide, it should be decided by a _campus-wide committee," he ~d . enti~es. here are distinguished statisticians on the ad hoc committee, however, asserts its chainnan. One of them is Saxon Graham of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. · . " No one would disagree with Saxon tatistics is found in many places in this University, ' Triggle said. It's a vital part of health, physical, behavioral, and social sciences. A variety of health sciences, such as dentistry, medicine, and pharmacology, essentially run their own statistics programs, he noted. Personal computers, which allow people to run powerU! I statistics programs without usin~ a large computer, have {llayed a role to this scattenng of statisttcs throughout the University, the Pharmacy dean commented. uGo to any university an<! you11 find a plethora of courses, inside and outside of a statistics department," he noted. · The committee will gather d~ta on how other institutions organize their pro~rams.

It will consult with any interested pllJlies, he noted. I T Graham's knowiedge " and his .use of statistics in epidemiology, Triggle said. • Then there's Robert C. Nichols of the Department of Co unseling and Educational Psychology. His department runs major statistics courses £or a large number of people, Triggle noted. "They certainly qualify as in-house experts," he said. John Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate, had criticized rhe administra" tion for not including ,experts on the committee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You might have been "told to drink milk to make your teeth' strong, or to avoid candy to prevent decay. Unfortunately, that's often as far as a dentist goes when counseUng patients , on diet and nutrition. At the UB Preventive Dentistry Cllg_ic, however . pat ients ieccive thorough diet assessment - and advisement. but would have absolutelY no effect dl:nlally, Palmer explained. · Another milconceptioil, Palmer said, i( tllit .,_ of the dry mouth in ll4ults. · WJllere are over 2SO drugs commonly u,ed by lldults and elderly lldults which cauoe a dry mouth," she said. ~In the old days, they uaed io say that you sur, fered a loss of saliva as a natural p&rt of a&inJ, AlthoiJib it's true that a 10.. of saliva often accompanies aging, it's not cauaed by the qina pro.:es$." Tb!s means 'that a normal diet, which · might not be decay-promoting in a person who hu normal saliva, wiU be decay promoting in one who doesn \ ; Pa1mer explained .

An elderly or infirm person mipt be unable to prepare proper meals. or. tieCause people tend to be creatures of habit, a patien mipt resist c!W.Jes in diet recommended by a nutrillonist. ~Diet and nutrition are very personal," Palmer apees, "but it would be a mistake to say that people ~on\ c'han~~t, because we know that they will - otherwise there would be no television lldvertisina." n an effort to evaluate and improve the program at UB, Carole Palmer, noted diet counselor from Tufts University, recently spent three days at the I preventive clinic. Palmer contends that dentists must become more aware of nutrition as it affects oral and general health because they see people more often than any other health care provider. Dentists must begin to sec themselves as the first line of defense against potential nutritio nal and dietary problems, she submits. Because they sec people so regularly, dentists pave taken on the task of measuring blood pressure. They're often the first to detect cases of hypertension. Because they take medical histories, they are sometimes the first to warn of possible diabetes. Dieticians are interested because both conditions require careful diet control. D inWe is one example. For instance, tt's not the t1111ount of sugar in the diet that creates dental problems, Palmer said, but the freq11cncy of its introduction into the mouth. Bacteria, not sugar itself decay the teeth. That explains the cxa~ple of the coffee and the M&:Ms. The constant wash of sugar in the coffee provides the bacteria with a steady diet . The old advioc to ·cut down on sugar, therefore, turns out to be almost uscless. T.,.cut down from three teaspoo~s to only one-half teaspoon of sugar_ m the coffee would rcduoc the caloncs, almer warns, b.owever, that when~ ever people become interested in a new area of nutrition, they can go off the deep end. At present there is a whole spectrum, fro m dentists who never mention the word nutrition to their patients, to those who say ..don' cat candy." Then there arc those who arc selling vitamins from their"llffi<:cr-- P and doine what Palmer terms, ~some pretty bizatTe things. " .. Part of tbe prohlem," Palmer continued, ~ that we have not carefuJiy bridp:a to dentistry. ometimes the detection of a dietrelated dental problem involves the S undoing of a misconocption. su,ar Indeed, advertisers have ·lately keyo:d into a number Qf nutritional isauea, from fiber in breakfast cereal, to oran110 juice with ·added calcium, to i ~half-tbe-addcd-.uprs" in peanut butter - which would, remember,- bave no · effect dentally. A!though~t peop are unaware of it, diet c.ounselina would not~only help patients avoid the drill, it coufd also save them . enormous amoilllts of money. The techniques can easily . be learned by any dentist or' dental b)'lieftist, require no spccial equipment, and can be performed ri&ht in the office. "Most people aren't aware of it, but diet counseling would not only help them avoid the drill, it could also · save them enormous amounts af money." Problems can be picked up in a few seconds by a dentist who knows what to look for. He can simply ask, "What do you cat in a normal day?" However, dentists do not generally know what to look for, Palmer said. Although dieticians have worked closely with medical doctors for many yean, they have yet to build adequate entists should be interested in•dict because nutrition is especially important in the oral cavity, Pall'f\Cr said. . "The soft tissue of the mouth is replaced every few days," she observed. "It's a vicious cycle in terms of reststancc and tissue repair. " The patient's ability to heal and to resist infection is affected by nutrition. A denttst should be aware, too, of numerous other diet-related oral conditions. Root decay, for inslllnce, has become recogo~ more and more as a serious problem in adults,- especially the elderly, and is an area in which dietary factors can also .play a role. • It is' not un111"" for an elderly patient who hi§, a new dent!"", _or for someone with sore .teeth and periodontal disease, to be unable to chew, Palmer continued. Such a person is likely to switch to a soft diet. If it's a soft nutritious diet this presents no problem - for a while this is even desirable. Too often, however, it's just a soft, mushy, empty-caloric diet. abouteat_!tlg The ·Mouth is the Window to the Body By ANTHONY CHASE be eyes may be the window to the soul, but according to Chester DeLuca of UB's Preventive Dentistry Clinic, ~c mouth is the window to the body." The condition of the teeth and tissues of the mouth betrays vast information which . DeLuca says every dentist should be able to read. "The oral cavity is a filthy place," he observes. "It's like a microcosm. All the dramas of the world are enacted in your mouth, from war, to colonization. to natural selection." Because of these dynamic interactions, some dental microbiologists have begun to refer to their field as oral ccolol!Y. Indeed , although over 200 orgarusms living in the oral cavity have been named to date, it is likely that over / ,()(}()species commonly exist. The natural progression in the mouth which DeLuca describes has been characterized by some as resembling the, development of flora and fauna on a previously uninhabited island. 'l!Wty- ' thing occurs in an orderly manner. \ Colonizing bacteria attach themselves to a tooth. This is followed by what DeLuca terms subsequent "waves" of bacteria. The mature community is what we are ·all familiar with -as the sticky substanoc, plaque. Although plaque was among the first substances to be examined by microscope, researchers have only recently T aspired to an exhaustive understanding of the world inside your mouth. This study opens up remarkable possibilities for preventive dentistry. delineated what the area of responsibility should be for the dental team .~ 'In the beginning, the effort was to involve dentists in the application of nutrition to their dental practiocs, aflllto provide them with the methods to do it. Today it's more a question of determining which patients dentists should be treating, and which patients should be referred. · Palmer summarizes the dentist's involvement as .. the screening of patients for diet and nutritional problems." He or'She should ",provide counseling and ~danae in the offioc on those areas tn the diet directly related to oral condition, and that do not have an underlyin& medical problem. " Dentists should not," she adds, "try to be nutritionists, which they~ not. A dentist would not treat an obese patient, a hypertensive, or a diabetic. They should refer such' patients to a1 dietician." :In addition to bein& a registered di-1 ctician, Palmer is an associate profeaaor· and division C<Khair in nutrition and . preventive dentistry at Tufts University, and a lecturer at the famous Fonyth Dental Center in Boston . She is a nationally known expert on nutrition as it relates to the prevention of dental disease, and trains dental students in the methodologies of clinical nutri!Wn. nderstanding the environment of the mouth is an important step in this task. For example, contrary to popular belief, 'althouah it does play an 1mportant role, suaar does oot actually rot the teeth. The bacteria in the mo11th produce acids which arc what actually dissolve the tooth enamel. Because these bacteria feed on suaar, those foods high in su!!ar arc, not surprisingly, the most likely to initiate the process of decay.

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

For myself, I feel obliged to pursue a course between the rejection of reality, on the one band , and the acceptance of radical scepticism (nwlism) on the other.

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

Local tests are also under way for another device developed by engineer Robert Duthie, Jr., which uses ultraviolet light to sterilize human body implants and medical/ dental tools. Duthie, bead of BUD Industries Inc believes the BUD hone anchoring fi~: tures, 3.5 millimeters long and made of A co-;nm~rcially pure titanium, may revo- luhomze the prosthetics industry. Fea· tunng _a umque thread design, the fix· ture IS compatible with hone and requires. a minim~ amount of support to rem&J.n securely 10 P.lace. Norma.n G. Schaar, D.D.S., notes that preliminary testing suggests the fixture may be a breaktbrough in the field of dental implants. Schaaf, UB pr~fessor of maxillofacial prosthetics, is chtef of the Department of Dentistry and Maxtllofactal Prosthetics at Ros1 well Park. "Most ad ults who lose teeth from A ~ periodontal (gum) disease may still be~ S able to have successful implants using _ the BUD fixture ," Schaaf points out. ~ The fixture utilizes tiny areas of bone ~ still available in many patients who g have suffered tooth loss associated with .2 the advanced bone destruction of peri- t odontal disease. The BUD fixture could be used in two ways to provide a stable base in bone for tooth replacement. When a single tooth is to be replaced, a ppsl • onto which an artificial tooth has been cemented could be inserted into tbe fiXture which baa been implanted into hone. Such posts could also serve as auppo<:U upon which dentures could be plao:ed. ' Schaaf is inlrilued with the further poaibilities of uaiog the fixture to alfut, with aid of ' magnets, prosthetic devices' for patienll who have uoderSOIIC dilftSUrinl IIU'JC'Y in bead .and oeclc areas. research, Mee........, empbames is evident in producttt releaoed ia ' the marketplace whidt have .been the aub- · ject of costly la....Uts.

"Duthie's fixture has already been successfully implanted into bea&ll:s, whose jaw struCture is similar to that of humans," Schaaf explains. He has also received a New York Stale Science and 'Technology Foundation grant to test the device in bairleas pigs, whose smooth outer skin cloaely resembles its human counterpart .• uthie, a mechanical engineer, bas also developed the prototype of a machine which could ulhmately n:place the autoclave for sterilizing surgical iostrumenll and body implants. The device, which uses ultraviolet light, is roughly the size of a small television set and is easily transported to operating and treatment rooms. "Currently, techniques uoed to sterilize iOJtrumeots involv.e a combination of high tieat and pressure which not only kills bacteria and viruses but has the disadvantage of wearing down surfaces of surgical tools over time," Duthie explains. Hia machine, which is currently patent pending, destroys surface microor-. ganisms in eipt seconds, considerably slasJiing· the hme required for sterilization and reducing residual damage to the iostrumenta. The machine may also be used to sterilize and produce a super..:leiti'surface for ,implants used in the human body sueh .. tboae used in the hip, heart, and ortl cavity.

Michael Meenaghan, D.D.S., Ph.D., director of the center, notes that many companies like Duthie's can benefit from tbe .expertise of UB scientists wbo have studied the interface of various materials with human tissue. Although the center is located in the UB School of Dental Medicine, its associated scientists provide a multialSciplioilry approach to the research.

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

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

"During the allocations period , wbicb is generally in April and May, I would say that about 40 hours of each month an: committed to the United Way." It is all time well spent, SheUum noted. "Working on the allocations committee is very interesting and allows you to see the flip side, where the money goes, and that ts a real important aspect of giving," he said. U niversity employees do not face many of the uncert&inties that many Western New Yorkers do, he noted. There is virtually no fear of layoff, and our union contracts provide annual raises. But there an: many jobs that do not offer that sort of peace of mind.

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

Lesniak concurred with Vullo's hypothesis. .. Some software you can copy, some you can't," he said. "The general use of copy protected disks is abating. Tbere were too many complaints from people who couldn't make legal copies to use as backups to the origipal." T he men added that the reasons behind illegal copying are as varied as the possible soluti ons to the problem. "I've found that people who copy a lot don't even use the programs," said Vullo. "They just copy for tl;e -sake of copying." . "Some (II:Ople are 'shoppen,' " added Lesnial<! "Tbey j!JSI go around picking out the programs they want and copy as many pro.,-ms as they can. " Still others, ~ tbe two men, copy just to see if t6ey can break the company's protection on the disk:. "It's an ongoing process ,'' said Martens. "In the .reports and newspaper articles I've seen, almost half of all software programs are illegal. Making copies of books is the same principle. Both co'mputer software and books are protected by copyright laws. "I'm convinced the copying will continue until software is made non.copyable or the laws are toughened," he lthough computer theft is a criminal offense, many students don't real ize the chance they are taking when they decide to copy a protected program. In some cases, they could actually l!O. to jail on char~ of copyright infringement, theft, ot illegal A S&ld. Boot' administration· differ on Statistics By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO J <ihn Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate; doesn't see eye to eye with tbe UB adm~n­ istratton 's decisions concerrung the Statistics Departma~t. Since February, the department bas been the subject of controversy centering around whether programs in the department should be discontinued and who has the power to make such decisions. Reading at tbe September 16 meeting of the Faculty Senate from a single-spaced document tbat is more than three pages lon1, Boot said be disagrees with the choice of a chairman for tbe department . . T.he faculty in the department wanted Kenneth Maaill, an ex-.chair of Mathematics, Boot said. (At one point, the administration h·ad considered merging part of Statistics witb M~t~ matics.) Instead, Jobn Ho, a physiCISt, · is to be appointed. Ho hu "taken a stans:e favoring tbe fastest demise of the Department of Statistics," Boot stated. "Even the administration ..:knowledges that Dr. Ho cannot be an effc;?tive spokesman for the degartment, . and auggesu tbat a spokesman for the departmen( also be appointe?, Boot l&ld. ' . The way the blue ribbon panel studying the .d~parUnent 's si~uation ()as been oet 'up Alio draws Boot's ire. The administration violates its own motion 'by not including statistics experts on the panel, be said. There wu no consult&tion with faculty on tbe cboicc ·of the chairman, and tittle consultation on the selection of its memben. The cbarge to the .panel is unfocused, Boot added.

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.

Townsend will begin serving in his UB post in December, I987. Edwin D . Muto is servmg as mtenm athlettc director. "You could have made a different choice, .. Townsend told University officials at the press conference, " but 1 personally think you could not have made a better choice, because I want to be here. " Asked why he left Tallahassee after such a short stint there, Townsend j:laborated, " I've had dreams of work ing at a Univenity like Buffalo. In co ming here, I'm fulfilling a goal and a dream." He added, " last Saturday night, my team defeated Georgia Southern Col- lege, a two-time national chan~. pion , in the Gator Bowl in Jackso nvi lle. For me that 's an indication that 1t's all right to leave (Tallahassee) now. The program is on firm ground... . .

"One is led to believe,"" he contin~~ · "that in o rder to have a co.mpet1t1ve athletic program you must• he, cheat, steal. forge t~an s~ripts. But th at 's not true. The Unavers1ty need not be con: tro lled by zealots. For every .

We will develop a D1v1ston I program, but not let the tall wag the dog." Asked whether there will be a new strategy for recruiting student athletes, Townsend replied , "You can use the same criteria the University uses for admiuion for all other students and vision I status, Nelson Townsend's leadel"lihip will be the critical f~or m developing a lirst·<:lass ath letic program," Sample srud at the press conference, held in a conferen~ room at the Recreat ion and Athletics Complex .

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

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

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

The purpose of the SUNY-wide initiative is to address problems caused by fiscal constraints of the mid- to late70s and early '80s, said ' Valdemar lnnus, associate vice president for resource planning. UB is in line to receive the largest share of this initiative because UB has the most undergraduates, he no(ed. SUNY is requesting a total of $15. million for this undersraduate upgrad1ng.

UB IS asking for a total budget of $202.6 million for 1988-89, a more than $20 million increase from this year·s $180.4 million, lnnus said. Another new program included in the request is $2 million ' lbr teaching hospital suppon. This would be the first year of a multi-year prosram. Other SUNY medical schoo'" receive funds for program development. These funds come through subsidies for operating their teaching hospitals. UB, which works with alTtliated hospitals instead of operating its own, doesnl receive compvable funding for program development, lnnus said "We·re asking for that missing piece," he indicated. The money would be targeted to develop centers of excellence. he noted . This program is different from the Medical School equity appropriation that UB received for three years. The medical equity question was a staffing issue, lnnus explained. UB received $756,000 i~ 1987-88 to fund 24' pOSlliOnS. ther highlights of additional funding bein' sought indlude: • $1.1 millton for inflation. • $2.2 million for base level improve- 0 ment. • $2.S million for the National Center for Earthquake Enaincerina Research. This is separate from the base budget. • $5.9 million in second-year funding for the GRI, which would include 65 FfEs. • $273,000 for temporary services. • Five positions for information technology. ·uB's budget request is just one step in an involved process. The request next goes· to SUNY where it must be approved by V>e trustees, lnnus said. SUNY's combined request then goes to the State Division of tbe Budget (DOB).

"That's why there's never been any cure or vaccine for any retrovirUs, a_nd AIDS is one of them," Greatbatch satd. His current project involves the use of "designer genes," .manufacture.d by a gene machine (a ptece of eqUipment which makes DNA). These genes are introduced into healthy cells to block the entrance si te of AIDS RNA st rands. The procedure IS known as hybridization interference.

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

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

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

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

We all know this and we know the pressure to keep the money coming in is what leads to overemphasis .and often to abuse anc:J corruption. What is involved in stayi ng ..competitive., In order to win (Chancellor Heyman says). we hlfe coaches who will raise the skill level of our teams to near professional standards. We seek out the very best ath· letes regardless of their academic qualifi· cat1ons. We pay substantial sums lor recruiting trips and for subscriptions to national evaluation services. We invest large amounts in equipmem, weight rooms, travel. hotel accommodations. . .We spend more and more on the most lavish sports arenas and practice facilities - including indoor. winter football practice fields. We hire numerous assistant coaches and other support staff and we spend a fortune in full-expense grants for athletes regardless of their individual financial need. .. We get caught in a spiral. We win in order to cover costs. But we have to spend more in order to win. Then. to cover these added costs. we have to find a way to get an edge over tha competition so we increase the scale and intensity of our programs. We recruit harder, extract more from our athletes and build bigger and bet- When we act accordmg to the values, not of h1gher educatiOn, but of show busmess, we hurt our msmutJOns and our students. At the co nclusion of his speech Chancellor Heyman sugges1ed the kind of refo nns he thinks would return intercollegiate athle1ics 10 health. Some of them are: elimination of grants-in-aid to alhletes, elimination of freshman eligibility for varsity competit ion, and ('."the unthinkablej abolition of bowl games and pon-scason basketball tournaments.

We are a .. major public research univenity" " intending to behave like an Ivy League school. But we are only at tbe beginning of our career. President Sample will soon be gone and his pious avowals will be forgotten . The urge to be in the bi& time, once stimulated, is not easily curbed. Why shouldn't we too try to be number one? Then we will discover that Buffalo is not so different from Georgia after all. Can we not use the in1erval granted us by the rejection of our application for advancement to Division II to reconsider?

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

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

The first play in the series. Ufting Weights. was wr llten by Molly Heller-Wagner, a stu den t 10 UB 's Master of Humanities progra m. and will be directed by I am my Ryan. an alumna of UB's I kpa rtment of Ti)<atre and Dance . lla rlee n Pickering Hummert. pub~ity d1 recto r and asststant to the chairman ol the Department of Theatre and Da nce, will act in the performance. The play concerns a woman traumatiled by the ordeal of a full-term stillll"th . a nd the resultant growth of her mar riage . Playwright Heller-Wagner re marks that the play is about fragmen ta tion of the mind and body, and abou t the process of healing. The · staged reading series was conceived by Ryan, who, with the support ol 1he artistic co-directors of the Caba ret . Erica Wohl and Robert Dow ning. plans to produce the plays at d ra te of one every other month. All of the plays are origi nal works, written by v.o men from Western New York. The readings will be performed script tn ha nd . with minimal props and scenrr~ According to Ryan, who is mounr'"F Lifting Weights in jl relatively short tvdl· week rehearsal period, at times the . . cn pt itse lf can become a prop. The nmum al prod uction requirements of the \l.tged readings facilitate a kind of Jr!t,tH.: freedom a nd , furthermore, she nnte'>. are what enable the Cabaret to rrncnt these plays in the first place. n ad dition to directing Lift ing H"t•tghts, Ryan is playwright in resil.kncc at the Cabaret. In this capacity 'h' has written a fuU-Iength play, Pho,,Kraphs. to be performed in February. and a sketch called Nata.sha goes to I Havana, in which a housewife falls in love with Oliver North, to be featured the Cabaret's season opener, a musi cal and cabaret revue called Here 's Your Hat. Molly H<-ller-Wagner wrote Ufting Wtt!fhts whtle enrolled tn a playwriting semma.r at U 8 , under the tutelage of !'nna Kay France, associate professor tn the Departments of Theatre and English. Previous to Ufting Weights. she had wntten a play called Sis•erly Love. Johnson hopes to make Native American women less 'invisible' By FRANK BAKER 10 Heller- Wagner particularly val ues the opportuntty to have her play produced as an mformal staged reading. She observes that the chance to bear the play spoken by actors will undoubtedly lead to revisions. "A play is never finished," she says. This project also renects an important aspect of her Master of Arts in Humanities degree, which will combine the sludies of Eng~ lish and theatre arts. Heller-Wa-ner, who already holds a Master of Divmity degree from Harvard , sees the M.A. H. as a way to work " in a more creative way." T he reading at the Cabaret provides her with a valuable step toward that goal. 0 N ancy Johnson's goal is to make the Native American woman less "invisible'." Thanks to Governor Mario Cuomo she is getting a chance to make thai goal a reality. _C uomo's role in helping Johnson, a thud-year graduate student in Native American studies at UB. was to name her to the New York State Council for the Human ities a non - profit government agency that gives grants to hu1_11anities projects such as documentanes. conferences, and symposiums. "Native Americans are about the most invisible people that ex.ist in this country," explained Johnson . For example, "on any government form, there are .spaces to fill in if you are black, whtte, or Hispanic. We have to fill in the box marked 'other.' " It's that type of non-classification that has led Johnson, a member of the Onondaga n~tion, to fig ht for recogniho~ of NatlYe Americans through a senes _of ~ectures to various groups and orgamz.auons and at other colleges. It was through her lecture series that a Cuomo aide heard about Johnson and suggesled her appointmeni to the councll . The governor made the appointment on July 21. "I was~\ picked because of my ex_pert1se 10 Native American studies," satd a modest Johnson. "I Waf picked , because I am a' Native American who happens to 6e from upstate.

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

SEFA is a charitable contribution plan that benefits more than J00 non profit local, national, and international organizations and charities, many of them through the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. This year's campaign will run from Sept. 18 to Oct. 16. UB's 1987 goal is $410,000, up a lmost II per cent from last year. And SEFA campaign volunteers are confident that the goal will be met , Buttough sa id , " because the United Way helps so many UB people." Hundreds of UB employees and their families receive assistance through United Way-supported agencies such as C hild and Family Services, Compass House, Neighborhood Legal Serv1ces, the Jewish Center of Greater Buffalo Inc. , YM C A, YWCA, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Campfin: Counc1l, and the Community Music School. "The real reason they give, however, is diffen:nt," Bullough noted. " We have a growing number of people who really care about the United Way, who are really turned on to helping." UB's response to tbe SEFA ~rive . is consistently strong, w1th the UmversttY ranking seventh among 57 large umyersities in the amount of money ratsed last year, she added, ·citing a survey by the United Way of Buffalo and Ene County. By comparison, UB ranked 30th by enrollment and 31st by ~um~r of employees among the umvers111es tn the survey. • we have one of the best records in the country and it is going up," Bullough said . UB's 1986 SEFA campa1gn raised a total of $376,036.84, 101.6 per cent of the Unive·n ity's goal. EFA allows people to choose the method of Jiving - either through payroll dtduction, pledge, or a general ""'' ' one-time contribution - as well as the specific agency or a.r:ncies that ~ll receive their contributions. The U ntted Way also may be specified as the recipient of SEFA funds, allowma those contributions to be made in areas when: the need is the areatest. · The rcsponsc to the need for volunteers also has been ouUtandin&, Bullouab said.

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

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

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

In one of a number of references to the Statistics Department, Boot said the administration "missed the boat" in chopping off what they decided was not excellent. A related issue, Boot noted , is the extraordinary way we rely on reviews from peer institutions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The UB Department of Oral Biology was crea,ted 10 1962 wtth a solitary facility member and headed by Solon A. Ellison, D.D.S . . Since the Ph .D. in oral biology was first offored 10 1965, more than 20 persons hive graduated . Some have remained here to . C<?ntinue their ~ientific .research;_. othe rs have gone elsewhere to contribute to ex1sttng programs 10 oral btology or establish new ones. . Scientists working with UB's Department of Oral Biology have made many Significant co ntributions to research in the past decade. Among those have been identification of certain bacteria instrumental in both periodontal dise~ and de_ntal caries. Further research here has led to enhanced treatment of penodontal diSease wh ich affects some 75 per cent of tltc adult population. . Studies at U B that targeted specific bacteria that cause the under!ymg bone dest ruction leading to tooth loss also demonstrated that ·anti-bactenal. therapy notably oral tetracycline - is a useful adjunctive treatment to root plamog and scaling. The UB scientists also found that, contrary to popular belie~, periodon!al disease does not follow a steady, downhill course, but is charactenzed by penods of exacerbations or " flare-ups , •• during which active bone destruction occurs. An increasing emphas1s O!l immunology over the past decade has led the UB sc1ent1sts to add to the growing body of knowledge, showing that ydongsters w1th juvenile periodontitis and patients with diabetes exhibit neutrophils (a component of the body's defense) which are " lazy" and fail in their role as a protector against microorganisms in the oral cavity. · The quality of the research conducted by the UB Department of Oral Biology researchers and their colleagues in other dental and medical departments have led to a steadily increasing amount of funding during the past decade. In 1977, for example, the department garnered some $1.7 million in research funds - notably through the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR). ---Including partial funding which the new institute grant carries, beginning on September I, 1987, the year's total research funding in the department is $4 million. , In 1977, the scientists' efforts in the area of research led to UB being named one of the three National Periodontal Disease Clinical Research Centers funded by the NIDR . Two years ago, a Salivary Dysfunction Center was created at UB, supported in part' by industry. Robert J. Genco, D. D.S., Ph. D., director of the Periodontal Disease Clinical Research Center and an internationally-known dental researcher, noted that the interdisciplinary expertise of the faculty within the department and other departments in the school bas led lo.the locally expanded research efforts. "We are fortunate to have faculty such as Dr. Micb..,l Levine and others wh!' not only work well together, but are able: to design and impic:ment innovative research projects as a group," Genco said. Serving on the institute's Scientific Review Board are Levine, Genco, Rosemary Dziak, Ph.D.; Alexander Brownie, D.Sc., Ph.D., chair of UB's Department of Biochemistry; Mi~hael Apicella, · M.D., professor of microbiology; and Leon Farhi, M.D ., chair of the Department of Physiology.

"I have had numerous telephone ails from people advising me that they're waiting for pay day (to pur' chase their parking passes}," Ryszka 'said. "Seventy-five per ·cent of the people who have called have been very much in favor (of the paid parking lot), and have complimenred the system and said they wish it had been in effect long ago." At $100 per year, the paid parking fee is ~~ bargain to many who have opted fO purchase tbe pass, Ryszlca · noted. • As many students have remarked, they paid more than that in parlcing fines last year," he said. "Most of the students who have been purchasing the 11asses tbiolc it's an exc;eptionally good t.\ea .... As one j!UY said to me yesterday, •J have to be m class in five minutes and I don l have to sweat where I'm going to park my car.' " Ryszka added that be. expects all 250 passes to be sold by early next week. The new lot, with more than. 500 spaces, is reallr. two lots, dubbed P5E and F, said Chff Wilson, assistant vice president for human resources. (Wilson is involved with parking because t least parts of the parking plan must be negottated with the unions.) Faculty, staff, and students can buy a pass for the new lot for $100 a year. Only 250 passes will be sold . People can buy passes from the auendant at the lot or at the Helm Building from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. People can also park in the new lot for $3 a day. After 2 p.m., the charge is $1.50. There will be an at~ndant in the lot from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. There's no charge when the attendant isn't there, but overnight parking won't be allowed. ' The paid parking is just for the academic year, Wilson said. Since there isn \ a parking problem in tbe summer, all lots would be open then. T he .admin istration contends that it can charge to park in P5E and P5F because it's a new lot, but several unions disagree. That issue is also being decided through the grievance process. Another already enacted chang< in the parking situatton is that holders of "A Permits," which used to be free, must now pay $150 a year. These are held by deans, vice presidents, and the president. · The free reserved faculty I staff lots at Amherst, still considered an experiment The paid parking lot had few customers early Monday, but later busin_ess was reported . • picking up.

However. the administration's longterm plan could make things very different in the spring. But t\le plan m'ust be approved by the unions, and they've come out against it. The plan would be the same on both campuses: • To park in the most desirable spaces, drivers would have to buy a $100 per year permit or pay $3 a day. Facttlty, staff and students could buy permits. • To park in faculty / staff lots, drivers would have to pay $25 a year. These lots wouldn't be open to st_udents. • A $10 registration fee would be required for a)l drivers, except visitors. The permit would be registered to the (lriver, not to the car. If someone has two cars, the pinnit, which is suspended from the rear-view mirror, could be moved between the Volunteer faculty and staff would not be charged the regtstraton fee. cars.

The idea of the long-term plan is to take the approximately 500 paid parking spaces now available in Fronczalc and spread them around both campuses, Wilson explained. All but 175 of the paid spaces in the Fronczak lot wou~"traded" for currently free spot at b h Amherst and Main Street. The, parking and registration fees would be used for additional enforcement of the reserved lots, Wilson explained. More people would have to be hired to tickettbe lots.

"Very few people can go downtown and park for less than $5 a day," be noted. ...There's hardly a major university in the country that doesn l charge for parking," Wilson added. It's not new to SUNY, either; Albany and Stony Brook both charge. UB dnesnl have as much of a parking problem as it has a problem with convenient spaces, Wilson pointed out. There are enough spaces, there just aren' enough convenient spaces. Special parkill& for faculty and staff at Amherst was started a year and onehalf ago because people, especially faculty, complained that they couldnl get to 10 a.m. classes on time because parking was so tight, Wilson noted. I n addition to the proposed regulations for both campuses, here are the specific proposals for each campus: Amhe,.t • The faculty / staff lots, with the $25 annual fee, would be P5A, P6C, and P7A. • The preferred parking, with the $100 annual fee, would be for lots P4C, P7F, and 175 spaces of the new Fron· czak lot. • The north end of the Center for Tomorrow lot (PI 0) would be designated a visitors' lot.

No specific salary has been set, but the new chancellor would probably earn ·more than the governor's salary of $130,000. Also under the plan, UB President Steven Sample· would earn $115,000, up from the current $89,145. President Sample said he is pleased that the Legislature and governor adopted this new legislation to fix .the saJarics of top administrators. "Obviously, I have a self-interest in the matter stnce it allowed them to fix my salary," be said. "But far more important is !be question of the chancellor's ·salary." It was a good idea to put the search forll chancellor on bold, the president said. If it had proceeded, the trustees might have been very disappointed in the caodidates. It was also a good idea not to ftx a chancellor's salary while the search is on, he added. That way, there arc no hidden constraints. If they ftnd someone !bey really want, they can deal with him 'or her. they had announoed a new salary level in advance, it would have narrowed the range of candidates they could negotiate with," Sample said.

On Aug. 18 the tnsstees accepted the plan to set the chana>llor's salary at a level sufficient "to attract the most eminent and highly qualified individual and to reflect the unique duties of the office." The SUNY chancellor's salary, currently set at $93,713, is half that paid to the ~;>resident of the University of Califorrua, according to the repon of the trustees' committee on the issue, chaired by D . Clinton Dominick. "In fact, a l'ecent national survey of 30 public universities Qlowed that the salary of the SONY Chancellor ralllr.ed 24th," the repon stated . "Yet with 64 campuses, 370,000 students and a $2 billion annual bullget, the SUNY job is by any measure the biggest and most demanding in the country." As a result of the severe disparity between the existinf salary and those offered by other institutions that SUNY ..-u must compete with, the trustees · concluded it would be impossible to bring the search for a new chancellor to · a . ~satisfactory conclusion" until a more competitive salary could be set, the repon explained . he plan also rea>mmeads raises for 32 other positions, including thepresidents of the university centers. The changes are: • The executive vi!;e chancellor's salary will be SI~OM , up from $89,964. Thil"is the permanent post of Jerome Komisar, who is currently acting chancellor. • The posts of senior vice chancellor, held by Harry Spindler, and provost, held by Joseph Burlr.e, will be raised to $115,000, from $89,1,45.' • Presidents of the university centers will malr.e $115,000, up from $89,145. The heads of the university centers currently malr.e about three-founhs as much as theiu counterparts at peer T institutions, according to the trustees' repon. • Presidents of the health ~ience centers will malr.e $135,000, up from the current salary of $106,685. • Presidents of the arts and sciences colleges, including the College of Technology at Utica / Rome, will ma ke $90,000, up from the current average of $83,913 .• • Presidents of the agriculture and ' technology colleges will malr.e 180,000, up from the cur.r ent average of $76,5 12. • Presidents of the specialized col· leges will malr.e $90,000, up from the ~urrent average of $80,882. D onald M. Blinlr.en, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said the cost of the salary adjustments (not including the chancellor's increase) will be $380,296 and won't entail any addi· tiona! budget appropriations. The money will come from funds set aside for administrative salary increases over the last three years. . The plan will correct a "serious administrative salary disparity" that·has existed over the lut decade and which was noted in the ddiberations of the Independent Commission on the Future of SUNY, Blilllr.en said. He pointed out thai the action was made possible by legislation enacted this year that delqates salary-sening authority to the trustees. 0 Summer at UB was anything. but slow t was hot and hazy for months i,._ Buffalo, but the lazy days of summer never reached UB.

The pesky Donaldson, Ronald Reagan 's primary press nemesis and author of the controversial, Hold On, Mr. Prtsident, has rubbed elbows with the nat ion's leaders since ABC sent him to the White House in Janua~ 1977. He has covered the daily activities of both Jim_my <;arter and .Reagan, amply prepanng htm to elaborate on the lecture series' theme for this year, "'Power and the Presidency." · · The 1987-88 series will also include former T exas Senator John Tower who led the 1986 high level study of th~ activities of the National Security Council, scheduled for Nov. 19, and the natiol\'S first female candidate for the vice presidency, Geraldine Ferraro, who has been booked for April 12. Tickell' for each lecture in the series will be on sale for general admission; $6 for l!B facJilty, staff, alumni and senior cttw:n!; and $3 for students. Tickeu are available at Capen Ticket Counter and Slee Hall. According to-"ts. Judy Zuckerman director of the University's newly f?rrned Office of Conferences and Spectal Events, the annual lecture series will be a ma~ thrust of her office's - activities. Zuckerman plans to• promote this year's theme with deans. and departments whom she hopes to encourage 'to sponsor seminan, workshops and other speal<en on the topic: of presidential power. That focus, she feels, is especially timely in light 11f DCJ<t year's !'residential elections IIDd the long pnmary season that will precede them. Zuckerman is also at work already on her second· series - for 1988-89. The theme for the second year will be "The State of the Nation: Business, Government, and the Media." Likely speakers include former President Carter, author Tom Peters of In Search of Excel/encr, and CBS newsperson ' Leslie Stahl. attending the Third Conference of the International Federation of Latin Am<;rican and Caribbean Studies. In March, approximately ·500 persons are expected to attend a conference on the Social and Political Consequences of Stereotyping, l>eing sponspred by the Office of the bean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Other events already booked for campus include a symposium on the prevention of nuclear war being set up. for March by the UB Graduate Group on the Prevention of Nuclear War; tbe June 1988 National Conference of the Association of Com- · putational Linguistics (a 500-<lelegate event that has been held in other years at such locations as Berkeley and Stanford), and a meeting of the International Humanist Society and Ethical Union, a live-day conference expected to draw between 700 and 1,000 persons in August of 1988. In addition, the conferences office is working with the host UB Psychology Department on arI'IIIIIICIIICillS for a National Conference on Designing Integrated Mental Health Service Systems, slated for June 2~. 1988, at the Hyatt hotel downtown. Zuckerman's conferenc:-related activities are two pronged, she notes: I. to attract non-UB related events to campus, and 2. to work with campus units to set up arrangements for events they would like to stage on campus or in the community. ·ss I n addition to the lecture series, Ms. Zuckerman's office is charged with working with both campus and community constituencies to bring presti- n the sports world, University Itheplanners have their eyes on briniing 1999 Pan Am Games io Buffalo.

A longer range goal relates to establishing the University as the amateur sports capital of the east. More than 30 conferences have already been lined up and bids .are out for several more, Zuckerman notes.

'A major swimming meet may be in the offing as early next · spring, for example, if all negotiations go well. Zuckerman provides this capsule description of the rationale underlying all 'the diverse actiVities that her office oversees: .. making the University visible as a site for major public events... · Sam Donaldson is just the begin0 ning. as FES plans four-part 'Educationa_ l Forum' series he Faculty of Educational Studies will sponsor "The Educational Forum," a four-part Thursday_lecture series during 1987-88.

Our Porter fo\ir-seater float plane was loaded down with four passengers and a pilot, six oversized packs, two equipment boxes, fishing gear, camera equipment, personal packs, and two canoes tied to the pontoons. From sitting in the water to being airborne, it took less than seven seconds; a miracle! I We were ·the lint baff of our group of eight to fly in to Horton Lake, 1,100 miles northeast of Edmonton, 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle and some 300 miles south of the Arctic Ocean - territory very rarely visited by humans. Our pilot dido' consult the compass. Our proximity to the magnetic North Pole cawed severe compass aberrations. Forty-five degrees was too. much bother. Besides, be could determine where we were by looking out of the window and cbeckina the map on his lap. A forest fore re(jUired some inspection and reportaJO, if not action, so we flew a bit out of our way to see how it was doina. We notioed some ice still floating on Great Bear Lake. Our canoe trip to the polar sea was to start at Horton ·Lake, 370 river-miles and 200 air-miles away from the ocean. The second aroup of four landed the next day. My aroup bad Blready settt6r into a campina routine; we set up- the tents, caught several lake trout, and were attem{'ting to ~;~~ate our peace with the millions of bugs of various species which swarmed everywhere. We field-tested our repellent-impregnated bug jackets. They actually worked; a second miracle! A large White wolf crossed the river and sat down on the other side, watching us. We wondered what conclusions he drew. t took two days to get organized and ·acclimated. , With 24 hours of daylight, we learned to pay attention to our watches so we would get adequate sleep. We had to patch the holes in our second-band canoes. Paddling and tent partners bad to be determined and equipment cbeQ;ed. We held seminars on "birds to look for" and "where these rocks come from." We wanted most to find the nearly- Fxtinct (if not already extinct) eskimo burlew, and everybody memorized the desc;ription and studied · the pictures. It was obvious from tbe beginning that Bill· Hoyt, tbe el<pedition"' oraanizer, had thouJbt of just about everything. He was the most veteran o! the arour, of eisbt , havin& previously padd ed over 2,000 miles in the arctic I watershed. Filling-Out the aroup were Bill Fleming, a Buffalo physician and UB Medical School clinical faculty member; Peter Raymont, a Toronto filmmaker; Jim Magavem, a Buffalo attorney and UB Law. School lecturer; Steve Lundsford, a Vancouver (B.C.) rare book dealer; Eri~ Pogaenpbol, phetographer, and Roger Vaughan, writer. Poggenphol and Vaughan were on assignment from the Wultl11g1on Posl to cover the. trip for the paper's Sunday magazine. Our T -shirts read EBSOA for "Erie Basin Sons of Ahab." The first stretch of river was not actually the Horton, but an unnamed connecting_ stream between the lake .00 the river. ~We promptly named it the EBSOA River. (Hoyt is in the process of seeking official recognition.) This was our fint encounter with what became 200 miles of shallow water and its inevitable resultin& condition - wet feet. The major task was to find water deep enough to float a loaded canoe. Failure was punished by havina to step into 40-dearee water to pull the canoes over aravel beds. . Then there were times when we had a tail wind, and we could tie the four canoes together and "sail" with the aid of a cutdown spinnaker. We were much favored by warm breezes out of tbe south. Our bird list grew rapidly. UB aeo-. grapber and expert birder David Mark had ~old me to expect tona-tailed jqen, meraansen,: blact ducks, scooters, yellow-leg sand j hawks, gyrfalcon peregrines.

This prompted Vaughan, the writer, to say, "I had expected to cover a canoe trip, but this is mucb more like a board meeting at the Ford Foundation.

As we moved down the river, .we ran into several exampl~ of geology in · process. Lorraine Oak, another U B geographer, had told me .about thermokarsts, huae cuts into the bank of the river produced by warm river water melting away the permafrost. In one huae thermokarst the process of erosion was so rapid that loud noises were continually bemg produced by chunks of mud dropping on other mud or in the river. We were dwarfed by the enormity of the undercut bank. For a time. the river seemed less interesting thart before. We sang songs, like this one, written by a friend : Never eat/eft-over lizard, • For it does not keep well at all. It'll rot in a matter of hOUrs, And lead to your aecline and /pll. Now rattlesnake lasJs quite~ / ' time I ' And even roadrunner's o.k., But never eat leftover lizard, You 'll be signing your future away. We soon came to Coal Creek where is was said the cabin of Vilbjalmur Stefansson, great arctic anthropoloaill and explorer, stood. Hoyt had lcanii:d that Stefansson was the first non-native to explore the Horton in 1910-12 and that he had wintered on Coal Creek. It took only a little searching and there it was, the double-walled cabin's foundation, with a solitary living space of only S"by II feet . We mtend to submit a report to Dartmouth Colleae where Stefansson's works liave)>een archived. We left our names and lbe date in a film can tied to the nearest tree. Who knows how many years it will be before anyone comes this way again? We held a brief "funeral" for my guitar. It had fallen victim to too many dunkings, leaks, and rainings-upon. It had collapsed and was deemed trreparable. It became part of the campfire one night, so we said a few words and sang songs for it (and tipped a few). .As we moved north on the H•rton, canoeing became tougher and the days became lonaer. But with only four paddlers, we became more efficient. Our averaae mileage moved from 20 to 26 miles per day. In the end, we fell short of Franklin Bay by a few miles, but did manage to paddle more than miles on one of Canada's areal Arctic rivers. I am often asked why I did it. "Why . would anyone actually pay to be cold · and wet for so long a time?" is amona the more polite forms of the question. Having done some climbina, I think I undemand the answer that 11101111tain climben give, • 'because it-. there·." Would I do it opin?

THE MEO.ICA.L EDITOR AS G.UINEA PIG I By BRUCE S. KERSHNER s the University's medical editor, I spend most of .my time as t~e outSider looking i_n at others' researrh expen ~ ments. But in one case, the situation was reverse~: I· was the insider looking out during one recent experiment when I served as a volunteer subject. The experiment for which I volunteered was the double blind testing of a ragweed nasal extract spray conducted by UB allergist Robert Reisman, clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics, based at Buffalo General Hospital. (See accompany~ article detailing his A ~ research. ) - 1 promptly responded to his public request for volunteers, curious to find out if he WjlS really onto something that could relieve the lifetime of sneezing and mucosal misery I had endured . h was also satisfying to know 1 could contribute in a small ay to medical science. My other strong tivaton was th e curiosity of seeing an from a subject 's view, albeit on would ultimately be relegated to anonymous statistic in a technical journal article. By the end of the first day, my arms .looked like they had been worked over by an inexperienced tattoo anist or an over-zealous 1960s body painter. Both my arms were injected up and down in neat little rows with varioUs allergy extracts, close to three dozen in aU. Each injection ·created its own "body art ,.,. a series of pink wheals with unique shapes and sizes, but all sharing was given a small squeeze ~e and told to spray it in my nose twice a day, starting at tw.o sprays per nostril and increasing gradually to five sprays each. Detailed records of effects had to be written Oil multiple forms. Every two weeks, I was given a brief physical and a new bottle containing a progressively stronger solution. Keeping in line with experimental protocol, neiltter I nor the reSearch fellow knew if I had the control substance or the real polymerized ragweed pollen extract. The twice daily sprays throughout the spring and early summer months resulted in a number of sneezes and blows that always ended ten or I 5 minutes later. The reaction from the earlier sprays was mild but the concentrated sol utions taken only weeks before the ragweed allergy season began felt no different than snorting a pollen-laden ragweed flower. After 20 sneezes in rapid succession, I was repeating :to myself, "Remember, you're doing it for scterice, you're doing it for all those.!eiJow allergy sufferers out there." Fortunately , even these intense react ie ns ended within the first ten minut~ . The experimental spraying coded ten days before the ragweed allergy season was to commence. I waited in suspense for the ftrst day to arrive. On August 12, I experienced my first very mild reaction, a slight watery discharge, and recorded lt on the detailed survey form I had to maintain. Ten days elapsed and I still had only mild, very tolerable reactions, an occasional sneez~ a blow here and there. "•Must be a really mild year:" I thought, "or maybe the expertment is working?" By the time September arrived, I was certain f·bad been given the experimental extract and that it had indeed immunized nie to most of the ragweed reaction. September passed, followed by the ftrst frost of the season, effectively ending my 23rd active ragweed season. Two weeks later, my conclusion · was confirmed when the medical secretary informed me I · bad indeed been given the active ingredient. The nearly symptom-free season made my effort worthwhile. Hopefully, D r. Reisman's ragweed allergy treatment will be marketable in a few years. Now I only have to worry about my grass allergy, my mold allergy, and my tree pollen allergy. 0 the same intense itch . ..Looks like you•re going to be a perfect subject, .. the assisting researcher remarked. With a black marker pen, he highlighted the "art work" by outlining each bulging wheal with an inner and an outer circle. Then he labeled each one with a number and a -letter. By the time he was finished, my arms displayed a curious sequence of black-<Odged, pinkcentej ed concentric circles in rows extendin!! from my wrist to my elbow. . The chmax of the experiment's first day was the nasal mucus sample procedure. ••Just spray this in your nose so we can be sure to get enough mucus for the lab testing," I was t!)ltl. Eager .to donate my best mucus sample, I compressed the spray bottle into my nostrils as vigorously as I could . What followed was an eruption or mucus so great that it instantaneously fllled up my sinus and nasal passages and could hardly be contained in the dozen tissues I grabbed, o ne after another. "You only needed to spray a little bit," the assistant told me. "That was quite a squirt of histamine yo u J!aVe yourself." "Oh, is that what Was m the bottle," I deadpanned. "Well, it certainly looks like you got enough of my sample." While my bead reeled, I reminded myself that this brief "initiation, rite" into the -realm of the research experi- Hal( of nurses surveyed··are afraid of AIDS patients By MILT CARLIN ospital nurses appear to be equally divided on the question of w.hethe'r ihey are afraid of contracting AIDS in their work environment. A study conducted by two UB Nursing School faculty members shows that 50 per cent of the nurses questioned admitted they were fearful of becoming contaminated. The research study, which involved sendirig questionnaires to 1,100 nurses in Erie County, was conducted by Brenda P. Haughey, Ph.D., and Yvonne K. Scherer, Ed .D. Haughey and Scherer also asked questions relating to nurses' attitudes toward caring for b"omosexuals and the terminally ill. A total of 581 nurses responded to the random sampling, the researchers reported. The 1, 100 who received questionnaires .npr.:sent 10 per cent of the 11,000 nurses in Erie County. The questionnaire, in one section, contained 29 questions pertaining to nurses' knowledge about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, more . familiarly known as AJDS. The answers, the two researchers ·related, sbow that nurses, in general, lack sufficient knowledge regarding the H medical aspects of AIDS and related matters, particularly the possible risks involved in providmg nursing care to AIDS victims. Both Haughey and Scherer suggest that the lack of knowledge may be a key factor in the high rate of fear. This information gap is further seen by both as a signal to nursing educators to develop programs of instruction, based on existing knowledge. Regarding nurses" attitudes toward homosexuals , who have b.,n pinpointed as carriers of the AIDS v1rus, the survey - surprisingly in view of the expressed fears of contagion - showed that more . than 59 per cent of the respondents could accept homosexuality as a lifestyle that exists. About 23 per cent were undecided about that. Likewise, even though AIDS sufferers are counted among the terminally ill, there was hardly any attitudinal reluctance shown by the nurses in cari~g for terminally ill patients.uo., , hould health care agencies have the right to refuse care to inwviduals suffering from AIDS? "No," replied a total of 17 per cent of the respondents. Of the remainder, only 9 per cent agreed that health care agenciea should have the riaht to refuse care, while 14 per cent were undecided. Then came this one-s>o-ooe statement S '~ total of 47 per cent of respondents feel they personally have the right to refuse ·care ' to an individual with AIDS." . for individual nurses: "I feel that I have the right to refuse care to an individual with AJDS." A total of 47 per cent agreed with that statement. Thus, more than three-fourths of the respondents would deny health agencies the right tolrefuse care, but almost half said that, individually, they felt they had the right ID do so. At the same time, 61 per cent of the nu~ ·agreed that nurses should be asstgned to AIDS cases on a voluntary basis. . The research by HauJhey and Scherer was supported ftnaocially by the State University of New York (SUNY) Research Development Fund. Realizing there's another side to the coin, the two researchers hope to conduct further studies to determine attitudes of AIDS patients and others closely linked to these patients regarding the quality of nu~ng care in AIDS cases. F.ew empirical studies on this subject have been done, the pair point · out. Only s~ulative newspaper and magazine articles have been attempted. In pursuit of this challenge, Haughey and Scherer have applied for a study grant from the Nattonal Center for Nursing Research, a branch of the National Institutes of Health: ; In addition to using the survey results in developing nurse education programs at UB, the researchers plan to tell nurses from throughout the world about tbeir findings . Both will attend the 2nd International Primary Hetllth Care Conference ' September 21-23 in Loodon, where Scherer will deliver a paper based on their study on nurses' attitudes on AIDS. Haushey received a Ph.D. from UB in 1912 with a major in soc:io)ogy. Scherer received a UB Doctor of Ed~tio.n degree this year, with a maJor 1n health and behavioral science. . 0 �Selltember 3, 1117 Volume 18, No. 1 ometimes it is the little things in life that bother you. It's also the little things that can push a P.erson over the edge, cause major problems, and generally make life unbearable. S An example of one of those big little th ings comes from a wild plant known as the ragweed. When it releases its pollen in mid·August, it affects miUion of people with a reaction called ragweed allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hayfever. Hayfever victims usually suffer from the middle of August until the first frost. The symptoms are familiar: runny nose, congestion, watery eyes; they're shown during every TV commercial for antihistamines. Robert Reisman, M.D., UB clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics, and co-director of the Allergy Researc!i Laboratory of Buffalo General Hospital, has been researching altemauve treatments for the estimated 18 million hayfever victims in the U.S. Besides hoping for a frost by Labor Day, one obvious ti'eatment is avoid- "Hayfever victims usually suffer from the middle of August t.J.ntil the first frost.

Another possibility is use of steroids either as a nasal inhaler, in tablet form, or by injection. While these methods usually work well over the short term, they relieve only symrtoms; they do not attack the cause o hayfever. lmmunizatiOJ\, through the injection of pollen extract, is considered the most effective method of combatting hayfever. It tackles the causes, aod works like a vaccine. The basic concept of immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis has not changed ip any substantial way since it was first introdueed in 1911. But Reisman is trying to bring immunotherapy into the secoqd half of the 20th century. · During the last eight years, Reisman's research has concentrated on the secretory immune system. The (He is now the director of Roswell Park.) This system is usually associated with the production in the nasal pas-· sages of antibodi.es that fight viral infection• such as polio and the Tomasi when he was a UB researcher. influenzas. Reisman's st udies revolve around the use or a nasal inhalant to vaccinate the body against the eff~ of the ragweed pollen. Reisman aod his co-investigators are-the only ones in the country cum:ntly using a nasal inhalant to deliver immunizioa doses of ragweed extract. They are also the first to use polymerized extract in this manner. t the 1986 March meeting of the American Academy of Allergy and A Immunology, Reisman outlined the latest results of his re5earch. For. several years, he has extensively tested local intranasal immunotherapy for use against ragweed allergic rhinitis. "The nasal spray is analogous to giving shots, except we're squirting it into the nose, .. Reisman said. Research was done using the double blind control method. The control group was given a placebo, while the test ~roup was giyen a ragweed extract. In dtfferent tests, Reisman altered the dosing . schedules and the extract sOlutions. From the resull$, Reisman.concluiled 1h41 "the best response came from' large doSes of pollen· solution. And the best solution ·•Was a polymerized extract, in contrast to an aqueous extract. We found that the aqueous extract caused significant side effects in some patients." The advantage of the polymerized extract is that it slowly releases the r.agwecd solution into the system, as · opposed 10 a water solution which releases the extract much too quicltly. This quick release can actually cause stimulation with the response of the people who get the treatment. In other words, some people have a low anti- ' body response and they still get better. and. there are others with a high antibody response who donl get better." The possibility of a greater public availability of the intranasal spray as immunotherapy against hayfever is excitirig. The spray is inexpensive, simple, and it causes no significant side effects. According to Reisman, "it definitely should be considered for more widespread use because of those advantages." Reisman also _commented that he "has no idea when the nasal spray will be available for the general public. It depends when a company would do the marketing studies." In this instance, the company would be Key Pbarmaeeutical, which has bel~ support Reisman's nasal spray studies aod holds the patent on the polymerized extract. The implicatioM ()(~ <Basal spray are staggering. Chronic bayfever sufferers who opt for parenteral immunotherapy typtcally receive injections once a week for three, four, or five months. Injections then continue once a month for an indelinito period. If Reisman's nasal mist is manufactured for consumer use, it will greatly ~mplify bayfever treatment. 0 �==:-3,1117 11, No.1 v. Good. and bad-news More register early, but lines still long By SHAWN CAREY ccording to UB Registrar Sue Eck, there was some gootl news and some bad news about UB's drop / add registration lines this year.

What went wrong'? ·•This year we were using a brand new regtstration program with our computers, and we found this program to be noticeably slower at the drop/ add registration process than the computer program we had used in previous years," Eck said. But, Eck said the registration office had anticipated long lines early in the process even before the problem with the new program presented itself. "Any time students are offered a chance to pick up classes before the majority of students ~ave returned ~nd before the semester actually begmj. there are going to be long lines.

D �welcome the opportunity in · this special Reporter supplement to herald the beginning of a new academic year. As in other years, University Computing Services has attempted to be well prepared to accommodate the service .requirements expected by the University's computing community. During the past year 'J{e have carefully tracked the changing load, which is growing along many existing, and some new directions. We have formulated plans that will deal with anticipated growth as effectively as possible. UCS stands ready to open its cafeteria of computer services with a rich menu of choices. In entering this new year UCS is stronger and better prepared than ever before. For the first time in years, we have added some professional staff to boost our ranks. More staff are required, to be sure, to support our growing user community. • The University now has full access to NYSERNet, which enables 56Kbps da,ta communications access to all national supercomputer facilities . In addition, academic computing service is beginning to develop on SUNY's internal data network. I We are adding a .powerful new VAX 8700 into the VAXcluster. This will, we hope, be upgraded to a VAX 8800 next year, thereby doubling the compute power of the VAXcluster. Data communications are continually being enhanced. There is more DCA acces~ available, and at much higher speeds than ever before. Our ETHERNet backbone is growing; we have a commitment to extend ETHERNet access to any department or research group that has justified need. · The IBM mainframe has received a new release of the operating system which has greaily improved the ~stability of our environment. Two modern laser printers are in active production; a Xerox 8700 for high volume general printing, and a DEC P?ntServer 40 for specialized printing. The University is presently benefitting from an exciting new capability: networked workstations. Last year we bought three clusters of ·six stations each, located in Engineering, Architecture and the Compuling Gen. ter. Providing "high resolution graphics, and substantial computing power, these workstations serve as excellent platforms for graphics intensive computing, such as computer aided llesign. I can report on many other important and interesting developments: desktop publishing, expert systems software, and DECNet service for oncampus users with access to off-campus sites. All · of these developments are being carried out to substantially advance the technology state and the quality and quanlity of computing for UB. The advances in computing service ·are made available through the tireless and enthusiastic efforts of the Computing Center's highly competent professional staff. As a group we continue to pledge our interest and support to provide excellent computing service to the campus computing community. We are interested in hearing from students, faculty, and staff on how we can improve or expand our services, and, in particular, on how ~e can assist individuals with specific needs. - HIIIRICH MARTENS "superminicomputers," since their size, power, and performance place them between minicomputers and mainframes. In addition we have a Sperry 7000/40 minicomputer av;~ ilable to academic users: a Sperry 1191 /SV mainframe available only to administrative users: a Floating Point Systems • (FPS) 164/MAX array processor for scientific computations (vector and matrix operations): and 6 Sun workstations, high -performance bit-mapped microcomputer systems oriented toward applications in CAD (ComputerAided Design), CAM (~puter•Aided Manufacturing), graphics. engineering, and software development. Finally, we have a variety of microcomputers: IBM PCs , AT&T microcomputers, DEC Rainbows, and Apple microcomputers (Apple lie's, and Macintoshes). We can compare hardware in several different ways. CPU speed is a convenient reference point, since the time a single step or instruction of a program takes provides a reasonable basis of comparison for two computers that · will run the · same kind of programs.

We will look first at the systems soflware. • SYSTEMS SOFTWARE AcaComputer Systems consist of . hardware and software. Hardware refers .to the physical components such as the central processing unit (CPU), storage devices known as main memory and secondary memory, and devices used for communication with the computer. The speed of the CPU, the . size or amount of main memory, the number and speed of disk drives and connect-. ing ports or terminals, all set an upper limit on the kind of performance theoretically possible from the system. The software determines how the system looks and performs in day-to-day practice from the user's perspective. PHOTOS: Douglas Levere HARDWARE Our largest and fa~test computer is an IBM 308t -GX mainframe. We also ha~e several DEC VAX computers (VAX 11 /875s, VAX 8650s and a VAX 870Q), ·often referred to as demic Computing provides a variety of operating systems in order to offer a wide range of computing environ· ments. These include VM/CMS Release 4.2 for the IBM 3081 , both VMS 4.5 and 4.3BSD UNIX on the VAX computers, and 4.3BSD UNIX on the Sperry 7000/40. The microcomputers supported by ACS also provide experience with many systems including CP/M, MS/DOS, Apple DOS, the Macintosh Operating System, and the P-system. • APPLICATIONS 'SOFTWARE: LANGUAGE PROCESSORS Although there are a variety of operating systems that create different computing environments, the language processors are similar across the machines. Pascal and FORTRAN-77 are available on all configurations. Additionally, the VM I CMS system provides Assembler, BASIC, COBOL, LISP, and PL/t; VMS . �provides C, LISP, MACA0-11, and MODULA-2; and UN)X provides APL. C, FORTH, USP, and MODULA-2. A complete list of microcomputer languages is available from the Microcomputer Support staft. Pascal and FORTRAN-77, as well as BASIC, are available for all micros. • APPLfCATIONS SOFTWARE: SOFTWARE PACKAGES Library software is an important part of any . computing system. · Software of general interest to the entire user community is purchased and maintained on the appropriate system by Academic Computing. Special interest packages may be purchased and maintained by individual departments. Examples of ACS supported software are: you may depend on many factors. ' including where particular software packages are located, CPU speed, amount of memory, system loads, and job turnaround time. Faculty, researchers, and staft new to our computing environment may want to ask staft consultants and other faculty and staft members for advice in determining which system is best for their needs. Individual irtstructors usually determine the computing environment for classes. ACCESSING THE LARGE COMPUTER SYSTEr'v1S •WHICH SYSTEM ·1s THE BEST? Which system is the bast for Having determined what kind of systems are available, how can you get access to a particular system? All registered students, faculty, and staft can obtain a username (account) on the VAXcluster, where an on-line username assignment program creates usernames based on social security number (SSN) or student number for those students without aSSN. To facilitate the creation of usernames at the start of each semester (when demand is tt'ie heaviest), we set aside one terminpl at each of our · computing sites solely for this purpose. It is usually located close to the consultant's office; look for the sig'ls rnatked VAX/VMS l.JSERNAMES. The username program is interactive and easy to run: you will be asked for your social security number (or student number), your name , and a password for your account. The computer will then display your username (based on your SSN or student number) and indicate when your account will become active (usually the next day). II you find that you need a VAX/VMS account later in the semester, when there is no longer a terminal dedicated to running the username · program at the sites, just ask the consultant Jar instructions to access the username program. Once you obtain a VAX/VMS account, it will . remain active as long as you are reg istered or employed at SUNY /Buftalo. Application forms for UNIX accounts are also available from the User Liaison office. WHAT ABOUT USAGE AND BILLING? Unless you are a faculty member with a billable account set up for a grant, you will not receive a bill for computer usage. Hqwever, all usage is accounted for and monitored. Computer abuse or misuse os not tolerated. II an account has an extraordinary amount of usage, or if we become aware of abuse or misuse, the computer account will be "locked" and the owner will be required to explain or justify his/her actions. This could result in the loss of computing II you decide to use the IBM main- • privileges.

Student accounts on the IBM are deleted at the end of each semester. ' Faculty, staft, and graduate students may obtain IBM account application forms from the User Liaison Office, 2t5 Computing Center. Faculty/staft accounts require the department chairperson's signature; graduate students' accounts require the signature of their departm~IBI advisor. These accounts remain valid unless they show no activity for a six -month period. At that time they will be deleted from the S\(.Siem. ACCOUNT SECURITY AND PASSWORDS Every computer account has its .own password wh.ich is determined by the "owner" of that account This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized persons from togging on with your user-name and gaining access to your files. Obviously, if tt)is security system is to be eftective, you must protect the secrecy of your password. �You should change it occasionally (VAX passwords expire every 90 days), and avoid writing it down or telling it to anyone else. You should also choose a password which is not easy lor someone else to guess: don't use your name Or initials! II you forget what yoor password Is or if it expires, you will have to come to Room 215 in the Computing Center to fill out a Password Change form. Only the "owner" of an account can request a password change, and proper identification must be provid ed wh en requesting the change. Under no circumstances can we look up a previous password, or change a password via a phone call. You may not request a change for a fr iend. Th ese policies have bee n eslflblished for your own protection. LOGGING ON Once your account has been established, you are ready to log on. Information about how to log on to our systems is provided in the introductory guides to the IBM / CMS, VAX/ VMS, and UN IX systems. Stop by one of the public computing sites, and pick up a guide for the appropriate system. Sellpaced. computer-based courses on IBM / CMS, VAX/VMS, and UNIX computing concepts are available. Guides to accessing these courses are also available in the information racks at · the public computing sites. ing system (DCA' which allows many terminals and microcomputers on our campuses to access virtually all of the University's computing resources. Users can access not only the Universily's local computers, but also computers and networks that span the world. With appropriate knowledge and permissions, a user on the DCA network in Buffalo could communicate with a VAX at SUNY Binghamton, the supercomputer at Cornell, and also send some electronic mail or a small file to a colleague at a university in England.

Its speed of communication approaches that of telephone communication. However, in contrast to the telephone, the sender and recipient need not be ' available at the same time. There are no busy signals or unanswered calls; a message waits in the recipient's mailbox. E-mail's utility goes beyond the "mere transmission of messages. Below are some of the benefits that can be realized through the use of e-mail. • Reduces the cost of communic;t· lion. The· cost of sending an average business letter via electronic mail is much less than the cost of sending the same business letter through the post office. • Centralizes and unifies operations. Individuals or offices that are widel)i separaied become less remote and' more accessible to each other. • Increases communications between all levels of a department or office. Information is more easily distrib· uted and feedback more quickly returned. The decision-making process is sped up and teS(Tiwork is en hanced. • • Provides a permanent record of communication between the sender and the recipient. • Allows quick and easy· involvement with a project or problem from many groups or individuals. Results are easily shared. • Eases collaboration on multipleauthor documents. One author may write a draft and send rt to a second author lor additions and revisions. The second author revises the draft and sends it back to the first author. This process continws tPit the document is compfel· ed. • Makes messages accessible anywhere a terminal is located. This may be on campus or through dialups at home or on the road. E-mail is changing the way organizations communicate internally and with other organizations. User Services hopes that users at SUNY /Buffalo will enjoy similar benefits from the use of e-mail. We offer credit-free short courses on using e-mail on our mainframe and minicomputers, and provide introductory guides to the use of email on these systems. We'll be happy to introduce you to e-mail.

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

The idea is to c harge so me sort of an annual fee fo r fac ulty, staff, and slu dents who wish to park there, said T F1 ·nk Bartscheck. director of finance and management systems deve lopment at UB. The fee would be the same for everybody. but it lrasn' been determined how much the fee will be. Permit holden would be allowed to park in the lot. but wouldn' be guaranteed a spot. There would also be a daily rate for visiton. Converting an existing lot to a paid· parking lot would have to be approved by the unions at UB because it would be a change in workina conditions. But this is a new lot and doesn 'l constitute a change in working conditions, Banscheck said. There's no prohibition against charging fees for parking in a lot built with State money. he wd. Other SUNY campuses charge for parking. The mstitu t1on of park10g fee~ o n th1s lot 1s the firs t Jtep 10 puttmg m place the reco mmendati o ns of the Pres· ide nt's Ta."'k Force o n f-»arkl ng. he ex pl ai ned . The umom have been notified that th e reco mmend ati o ns a re bemg p ut mt o place, he added Is there more pai d park 10g down the ro ad '! " I would expect that if you loo k at the parking proposal. it definitely sug· gests that." Bartscheck said . Other recommendations included setting aside a desirable lot for ca.rpoolers; co nsolidating under one administrator everything that has to do with parking; allowing dorm residents to park only near their dorms; setting up infonnation booths or a radio system to tell people when lots are full; building a covered parking'Tamp on the Amherst Campus; publicizing alternate methods of transportation. and oetting aside a lot for smaU cars. The lot north of Fronczak is on schedule and should be ready by the beginning of the fall semester, accord· ing to Harbans Grover, director of architectural services. The lot cost $626,000.

However, to avoid " When you have a large number of volunta7 faculty as we do. they tel)d to run of by themselves , I think ,"" Naughton said . "They don' recognize that they have the same responsibilities as everyone else. I can see how it happened . .. But it's not to be condoned ... There are no spec ific plans to censure Boeh mke , but the matter is being discussed , Flint said . It may be a matter ""of si mpl y telling him not to d o this again , whi c h other colleagues appan:ntly have done, be added .

The Faculty Senate had recom· mended that guns be made available at all times for use in violent situations. then put away when not needed . Sample clearly wove th is suggestion into his pla n. The senate also recommended that o fficers not routinely carry firearms. Even though Sample dido' mcorporatc: that into his plan. "I think he listened to our positi on very well ," Boot commented. Ninety per cent of the people who work during the day won' notice any difference. Boot predicted. and tbe gu ns won"''. be used more than once every ten years.

B Reflects professional l8l staff's vote Arthur Burke , chairperson of t he Professional Staff Senate. noted that his "oup voted in 1985 to support Pubhc Safety"s request that officers be selectively armed. However, be personal!¥ doesn' favor arminjl. Burke said that he realiz.es there ts potential for violent crime and that public safety officers are putting their bodies on the line. " But it"s a difficulty I have admitting all o' this in my own head," he said . ..To agree with it is to admit we\te cOme to this ... He added that he hasn' seen an incident that would have been handled better if officers had guns.

" How thrilled I was. after working on it so long. to finall y be able to teach so meone wh o was paralyzed and unable to speak clearly to operate a telev1~ i o n se t or th e light on the bed sid e tabl e:," he said with a smile.

Davis' system is paradoxical. It has both a broad window and a minimum of falsing. Since the patent is pendi ng for the system's software. which carries the sec ret , he is obvious ly unwilling to tell how it works.

Another may be in inventory control or vinually any job or task which would benefit from control by speech. s.uch as openi ng a door. "'Several Or the largest toy manufacturers have investigated my system and are inte rested in how it could bt ap plied to toys and games." Davis adds. Although the system's software is a sec ret, the tfardware used with it can be purchased now at most comp ut er equipment and electronic· stores fo r arou nd $700. -1 understand that, [rom a marketing point of view, industry and business will probably be the most interested in the system - they can visualize the sales potential O[ products which would incorporate my design ," he says. But eve~ more important to Davis. as the system's Qeveloper. is the device 's ability to give paralyzed persons, even those who have impaired speech, a measure or co ntr ol over ord inary objects in their environmen . increasing their independence. 0 avis ' develop ment of the system is a story si milar to that of man y inventors .

They're tbe tbinp tbat give lemons their astringent taste and make orange peel bitter. The colors of autumn leaves and spring flowers are caused by flavonoids. Their primary purpose seems to be to protect the plant. But scientists in a myriad of fields are excited about flavonoids for their other potential uses. They may be useful as food sweeteners and herbicides. Flavonoids appear to be the active ingredient in many centuriCH>Id fol_k medicines and may be useful as .anhinflammatory, antiallergic, and antiviral a11ents.

The otber organizers of the symposium an: Alain Bcretz of Strasbourg, France and Jeffrey Harbome of Reading England. Harborne is the world's leading authority on flavonoids, Middleton said. The purpose of the symposium _is to bring together scientists from cberms· try, biology, pharmacology, and chnocal medicine who an: working with -flavonoids.

The ftrst cooference drew people from 18 countries· and 30 states. They were clinicians , bioloaists , immunologists, chemists, plant chemiJu, pbarmacol.o gisu, and people who studied bcrbicides. "These an: people who donl usuaUy meet eacJ\ other," Cody noted. She 'was afraid they might be so different from each other that they 'd mix as well as oil and water. But by the end of the meeting, the crowd was a homogeneous solution, she said. M na- iddleton got interested in vonoids through bis work with allergies. He wanted to find out how allergic react ions can be modified so people are less sick with things like asthma, hay fever, or eczema. Cody is a crystallographer whose primary work has been in thyroid endocnnology and anti-cancer drug design. • She has been looking at why flavonoids work in treating thyroid conditions when the flavonoid structures donl resemble the structure of a hormone, which woul~ normally be used . That led to work _wtth ~ drug company in Europe that ~ tryln!j . to make a . medicine for thyrotd condthons. ore M been tban 3 ;000 . flavonoids have idcntiftcd, and more an: bcina discovered every day, Cody aaid.

Amazingly, some flavonotds completely protect against that in laboratory animals, Middleton said. . If we eat flavonoids every day, why an:n l we completely healthy?

The next step tn research is to find active forms so that the body can absorb them. 0 ore than 200 educators, authors and specialists on Latin America from some 20 nat i ons world-wide will attend the Third Congress of the Internat ional Federation of Latin America and Cari bbean Studies ScptembCr 2326 at UB's Qnter for Tomorrow. Jorge J .E.

Robert Allendoerfe r proved this theory to be a myth. myse lf having to sell my subject to students who would probably never take another chem istry course. " I try 10 make gener~l chemistry relevant to their lives. About once a week I give them so me practical application of th e material that's being covered . For instance, show them why wh at they do at Occidental Chemical has the effects that they do. " If I can make st udents understand the practical value that general chemistry has in the 'real' world, I feel I have been su=ssful." Acoording to Joseph T ufariello, chairman o f the Chemistry Department and the person who nominated Allendoerfe r for the Chancellor's Award, Allend oerfer nourished under his new responsibilities. "Dr. Allendoerfer h as rece ived ex tremely positive reviews for his recent involve ment with the general chemistrylevel courses," Tufariello said. "And he scores extremely high on the student evaluation forms banded out at the end of each semester. " Dr. Allendoerfer has also pioneered the introduction of the computer as a learning . tool in freshman-level chemistry." and teaching assistants in the School of Management. In the classroom itself, Perry has established so me guidelines which have made him successfu(there. " A big thing with me is organiza· tion," P~rry said. "Before I even set foot into a class I make sure that everything from . the syllabus to the lecture notes and the examples I will use in class are all planned out. "Once I'm in the class I try to esrablish a learning climate in which people will feel comfortable learning and ask ing questions. Attitude is very important •n being: sua:asful here. "If someone asks a question, you can't say 'Geez, what a dumb question.' No one will ever ask a question again because they'll be afraid of being embarraued. "The third thing I try to do is strive for complete fairness in testing and grade evaluation. You can~ tough. but as long as you're fai r--and up front about it students will accept that and work toward those sandards." Perry find s teaching extremel y rewarding but wants to, and has made. significant contributions in other areas. Perry is currdlfly working with colleagues James Hartigan and Sreenivas Kamma on the trio's second research , paper on "protectionism" in the capital -PERRY market.

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

Muller and his research team discovered a barium, lanthanum, and co pper oxide com· pound that supercond ucted at )5° K. Scientists were skeptical at first, but minds began to c hange when the experiments were reproduced in other labs . At Bell Labs. a research team was able to develop a new co mpound that superconducted at 38' K. Another researcher found an even higher temperature superco nducto r in One reason why that discovery is imJ>9rtant is that the material could he cooled with liQuid nitrogen (with a boiling point of 77". K), rather than the mucb more expensive liquid belium. Since that discovery, scientists ha"" been rushing to produce even hi&J>cr temperature superconductors.

According to Larry Steele. sports information director at UB. the cause for the delay is an NCAA regulation governing the eligibility of transfer student-athletes. ~ The NCAA residency requirement stipulates that student -athletes wh o transfer from one four-year institution to another must sit out a year before resumi_ng competition in a Division II or higher program. This rule doesn 't exist in Division III , but institutions that wanl to move up to Division II must observe the regulations for two years before receiving reclassification. UB , in Division Ill last year and not having made at that point a firm decision to seck an upgrade for this year, permitted transfers to play without sittmg out. Steele said that the UB administra· tion and the provost's office were aware that U 8 was in violation of the transfer-student regulation and filed a petition for a waiver of tbe residency requirement in addition to the request for an upgrade to Division II. .. A year ago we had no way of knowing that we'd bC applying for Division II stat us in 1987-88," Steele said. "It was hoped that because of our situation (an accelerated time-frame for upgrad· ing), the NCAA would overlook the residency req_uirement." However, tt was decided that UB had to demonstrate one year of compliance with the regulation before it could file a petition to have the second year waived. UB will thus remain at. Division Ill in 1987-88 in order to meet the one· year residency requirement. Two students were in violation. "For now we were only ble to submit our Division II appli lion," Steele said. ..The petition for waiving the residency requirement cannot be filed until January. • At that time we will ahow that we have been in compliance with their regulation for one year." When all regulations have been met, it is expected that the NCAA will 1:1.pprove UB's application for Division II status. Because the NCAA still must approve the waiver petition, there is a possibility that the 1988-89 season could also he played out at the Division Ill level but, more probably, the season will he UB's first at Division II . .. It has been a rather routine procedure for the NCAA tp grant a waiver of the second year residency requirc'ment to schools in the same situation as ourselves if they have demonstrated the one year of compliance that is necessary," Steele explained. According to Steele, the delay by the NCAA shouldn' be viewed as a big setback . "The whole upgrad ing plan was projected to take between five and seven years, and this one year won't change that," be said. "It represents only one year in a long process. "The only problem this presents is that we will not be able to provide grants-in-aid this year." Steele said that it has not been determined whether the status of any recruits, will he affected by this beeause U 8 coaches are currently in the process of contacting all of their student-athletes. Although UB will not be able to award any grants-in-aid based solely on athletic ability this year. '-rants according to need wiiJ be avadable for the first time in a few years . ·Although in theorr, and according to NCAA guidelines, we've been able to grant these types of need awards in the past, in actuality we've been unalile to do so because of insufficient funds," UB's Division II bid Steele said.

More details are available; budget picture appears mixed By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO U 8 didn' get everything it wantal in the 1987-88 budget, according to Voldemar lnnus, associate vice president for resouroe planning. . There are three th ings in particular that we 're going to have to deal with. he noted : • There's a n inc rea sed s avings factor. The savings factor (also called frictional savings} forces UB to keep pos itions open for a while before a replacement is hired . This savings fac· tor is bigger tha£1 it was last year. However. no vacancy targets will be assigned within UB. It is hoped th:h some of the sav ings can be generated by new positions that UB is getting thro ugh the Graduate and Research Initiative and in the clinical medicine area.

SUNY's .minori·ty enrol·_......nt higher than m~st By SHAWN CAREY inority student enrollment in the colleges of America has been declining in recent years. Despite this alarming trend , SUNY has actually increased its enrollment of minorily students over' tbe past ten years. "The State University of New York is not showing a decline in enrollment of minority students, although this has been the experience in other areas ~f the nation, .. said Frank Po~ue Jr., v1cc chancellor for student affrurs and special programs. ..Minority enrollment has actually increased by 15.422 since 1976." He spoke during a presentation on minorit y student recruitment and retention in SUNY at the Board of Trustees· June 24 meeting. Broken down into racial / ethnic groups, the prese nt ati o n showed that in 1986: • Black non-Hispanic enrollment was up to 20.96 I . from 15 .236 in 1976. • Hispa nic e nro llm ent was up 9.665 from 4.955 in I 976. • Enrollment o f As1an and Pacific Islanders was up to 7,774 from 2,280 in 19 76 • Ame ri c an lnd1an or Alaskan Native enr ollment was down from 1.437 '" 1976 to 1.200 10 1986. th e onl y mm ont y grou p to decline 1n SUNY enr ollment •H nce 1976 Despite overall gam~ . 11 was emphasIZed that SUNY can not stand back and admtre ll!t accomphshments because: thi ~ success has been relative onl y to the lack of succe ss cx.penc nced by other institutions. · " When thts accomplishment IS co m- M ~~~~~iri::ir;:t ~~! Y!~kJ C.~~n~~! ognize we an: srill q uite a distance from our goals, .. Pogue said . In 1986. minority enrollment represented I 1.5 per cent of total enrollment, up from 7.7 per cent in 1976. But this figure is still quite low considering that min orities make up 20.5 percent of the New York State population. he bigger picture 9f this problem T illustrates that a large percentage of aH minorities does not receive a college ~ducation. degree, and consequent tncreased opponunity. According to Pogue, much of SUNY's success in increasing minori ty -enroHment ·can be attributed to the system's effons during the past few years to recruit, retain , and graduate minor- ity students. To deal with this bigger problem, ;m increase in the recruitment efforts, especially in the areas of retention and graduation of st udents, is necessary. "We recognize that it i•n' enough to simply recruit minority students to our campuses," Pogue said . "Once they are here, we need to make certain that the academic and support activities so necessary to a successful educati,pnal experience are provided. "We are concerned about all phases of this effort, beginning with recruitment and continuing on through retention, graduation. employment, and the alumni years ... Also at the meeting, the board authorized the chancellor to establish guidelines for the State University's Underrepresented Minority Fellowship Program, part of the Graduate and Research Initiat ive . According to Pogue, the progra~ '!. of Minority Popu'-tlon would provide additional incentive for minority students to pursue graduate ed ucation . Pogue also said the University will soon open a special office in New York City specif\cally geared to recruiting students from schools in New York Ci ty where the graduating classes now are comprised primarily of minorities. This office, to be staffed by a director, newly appointed Edward Bell, and three full -time recruiters, win cover all five boroughs of the city and also provide a base for recruiters from other SUNY campuses. SUNY-w1de, a new position of director of SUNY minority access services has been filled by Jacqueline Davis. Davis will coordinate the dfons of existing minority student recruitment and retention officers at each of the 30 State campuses. minority graduate recruitment l?rogram at U B has made. Currently hiS office serves 4,000 students each year. These students can work through 16 programs which arc specifically targeted for minority and disadvantaged. students. Acco rd ing to Palmer, hiS office has been actively pursuing fundtng avatlable through the Federal Graduate and Professio nal Study Fellowship Program . The result of these efforts has been an increase from S84,000 tn 198485 to Sl85 .500 in 1986-87 . Palmer does not focus his overall plan on minority students at the graduate or even undergraduate level. .. Education is a co ntinuous process that begins in elementary school and culminates at graduate sc hool," said Palrqer in his report. _ .. Any realistic attempt to recrult and retain minorities must mclude programs which address the academic deficiencies in elementary and high school preparation. the lack of viable social networks, and the career stereotyping which many minorities experience ... Pogue added that, "we are well aware of the minority drop--out rate in the elementary grades ~n,t--that we simply must begin reac ~g students earher than we arc now. "We have an outreach ~ to fulfill in helping create an iq.terest in higher education among mihority students long before they reach high school." The most disturbin& _ figures were presented by Sherman Iverson, -assistant vice chancellor for policy analysis. According to Iverson, even !bough lbe number of high school age minoril~ is increasing, the number of minority students enrolled in grade 12 in New York State has been steadily declining since 1980. By racial/ethnic breakdown, ihe largest decline bas been within the black and Hispanic. populations. wh1ch make up the maJonty of he total minority population. Only the num ber of Asian and Pacific Island students '" gr~e 12 has· increased since 1980. Palmer suggested lbat SUNY's abd11' to increase its minority enrollme n.t would be enhanced by successful prOgrams to reach elementary and h1gh school age students. ThiS idea gf reaching minont y ~ t u ­ dents as early as possible was endorsed by Darnell Cole, vice president for ara demic affairs at lbe College of l cch nology at Delhi, and Emeterio Ouc"' assistant director of admissi On\ d; Monroe Community College . Cole explained lbat his job at Dclh , was to bring an improved brand ul raciaJ heterogeneity to a small. ru rd college which had previously been nearly all-white. Cole said that he ha ' been ~uccessful at Delhi and that h'' success can be repeated at other s1m dur SUNY campuses. He urged other universities to - t<th some risks" and not to .. hide bt:h md· the rationalization that min ont) ~tu dents will not want to come to thnr respective univenities. Arnold Gardner, a board mcm n..·, from Buffalo, proposed that the board should consider holding those: campu"(' which do not make an effort t1 • enhance minority enrollment account able for those actlons, or lack of act1nn' When advised that substanual ob><l · vation or' the Problem at ind 1v1dud! universi6es would be in SUNY "s be" interests, GardDer said that rather th <tn just "sh oveling smoke:· th e board should attempt to ..rut so me teeth 1nto our stated desire o farther mcrc:<l!t tng minority enrollment and n:lentt on" within the SUN-Y system.

Whitmore said . In 1984. lhc system of colleges that had existed was esse nt iall y disbanded , Whitmore ex plained . Each college was required to become affiliated with a department or facult y.

" Black Mountain was created al a time when there were a whole bunch of collej!CS," he said. "There were philosopblcal al)d administrative reasons for them to exist. But all of those arc gone." The mission of Black Mountain is to se rve the arts interests of non-majors, Whitmore said . He- has decided that dcpanmcnts, rather than a separate college. would better serve those stud.cnts. (He noted that although people have cont inued to usc the word ...college ... lhal name was dropped last year. The Undergraduate Ccftlcgc is now lhc only college al U B.) A department would serve nonmajors better because it has more resources and a broader range of fac uhy, Whitmore said . " If given the responsibility to meet the needs of non-majors. the faculty can and are eager to do it ... he said. Whitmore noted that the academic departments already do offer courses and performance opport unities for nonmajors, but the proposal would give the departments a more all-enco mp ass ing responsibility in th-at area. lack Mp untain will cont inue to offe r its co urses this faiL In the spring. the co urses wo uld be offered by the Arts and Letters departments.

"Three years from · now will the curriculum be exactly the same? .. he wondered aloud. "Who knows? "Curriculum ·changes all the lime. And it should. "But that's up to the faculty to decide.

Students can cam points by doing things like working· backstage durin)! a Black Mouf\lain concen. T?csc pomts earn special privHeges, such as a single room. From this work and other outings and meetings, there's a sense of camaraderie. There were 85 registered .students in 1984. down from · ·a figure in the hundreds, he said. This decline was another reaso n for the proposed administrative change. But the students made it clear that they wanted to keep the residential program.

The Music Department alone offers 2SO events a year. The arts management courses, which gave studenu hands~n experience in things like publici ty and book~ccping. will still be available. In fact . students worlUng in these backstage areas will be ne,cded desperately, he pointed out. Whttmore said that he docsn' expect this administrative change to. affect the experimental. flavor of Black Mountain. The departments of Theatre and Dance. Media Studies.

The comments come in the wake of last week's release of a General Accounting Office (GAO) report that found there was no bias in the award- ing of the grant for the Natio nal Eart hquake Engineering Research Center to a consorti um of universities headed by UB. Howe ve r. the report also found serio us problems 10 the National Science Foundation's (NSF) management of the award process. According to the report, NSF officials' Jack of firm d irection over the process as well as their poor documentaton "'made th e NSF dec1sion appear suspect. " .. It's not New York's fault th e process is flawed ," said Alan Cranston, the Californi a se nator who d oes not want the competition reopened. He said that the New York co nsortium submitted a good proposal in good faith . Reopening the competit io n would create a political issue "that makes the present controversy pale by compari son," Cranston said. Cranston and the other California senator, Pete Wilson, had requested that the GAO investigate last year's · award to the UB grnup. The senators !bought the award should have gone to a group of California universities headed by Bctkel.ey. W1lson believes that there were "serious enough mistakes made that the .. t~~aati~~~s~~~u~~P~Y ~~n~;e::~ fo r Wilson. Will he be able to accomplish that? "He's going to try," Ro)"ter replied. Roben Ketter, · leading professor of engineering at UB and director of the national center, docsn' expect that Wilson's attempt to reopen the competition will cause problems. "Wilson is picking a political boise to ride," Ketter said . "The repon confirms what everybod y else has said- there was no favoritism in awarding the grant and the choice was the right choice." Ketter noted that the GAO sent tbe technical sections of the California and New York proposals 10 four indepe nd· Portion of totem pole is lifted upright .in Ellicott T he to tem pole 10 U B's Marian Wh1tc Anthropo logy Museum is standing a bit ta ller toda y.

For the- pas t seve n years. the totem pole has been undergoing restoration under the careful hand of Jonah D. Marguli s. a re1i red Buffalo Public Schools psychologist and administrator who is now a ~earcher for the Anthropology Department. The raising of the pole is quite an acco mplishmen t considering the obsta~ cles: the age of the pole (about 100 years old) and the lack of grant money, Margulis noted . Volunteers made the whole thing possible. " We had people from all walks of life - students , professors, senior citizens, and industry," he explained in his rapid-fire method of speaking. "They were all heo:e just out of the desire to do it." He· has been aided in the restoration work by Frank J. Dinan, a professor of chemistry at Canisius College, and Sumner C. Nunley, a retired science teacher wilh the Buffalo Public School•. The actual raising of the pole was made possible by Nils Lu!ldgre'n and Ron Worczak of Higgins Erectors and Haulers- who did the work for free Margulis said . And he credited Mead Supply Inc. for their help with the scaffolds. Margulis also said that he is grateful to the Anthropology Ocpanment for allowing him to do the work.

"Some days we ol\ly work IS prinutes, tbcn go home," Margulis \._explained. " We didn't mind 'at first. but now parking is beginning to gel hard ," he quipped . The pole was carved abo ut 1885 by Alaskan Indians, Margulis surmises. Friends of Mau Larkin, the inventor of a juke-box-like machine tliat predated Edison's phonograph, decided it would be the perfect gift for a man who had everything. In 1904, they substituted five oversized replicas of the beads of Larkin· and four friends , apparently in place of five small 1otcms such as frogs or rabbits.

M eanwhile, it's business as usUal at the earthquake center , Stein pointed out. ~ we 've had the center for almost a year and it's been engaged in very lmponant«seareh," he said . In explaining why he docsn' want the corrlpctition reopened, Cranston noted that the New York consonium already has invested in expensive equipment and is plannning a major conference in the fall. HoweVer, Cranston does want some steps taken. There should be a peer review of the center's first 18 months of work (prior to gelling third-year funding), he says. In view of the • dures, he also wants the grant to come from other funds, freeing this money up for other scientific work. He also wanu action taken to restore the integrity of the peer review process. Wilson also bas proposed steps to make the award process clearer. He contends that ~e ~SF didn~ cJ.early establish the objectives or cnlerta in this case. "California, New York, and universities in other stllld which competed for the ·grant have all' been the victim of poor judgement and mismanagemenl by the National Science Foundation .· Wilson said. He acknowledges that the GAO found no evidence of preselection or favoritism, but argues lhat the award must be challenged because the process was flawed . If the process was flawed , Steon pointed .

According to the stu~y conducted by Ge rmaine Buck. Ph.D .. babies who die of SlDS typically. at birth. weigh less than five pounds and five ounces. measure less than 20 inches long, and are delivered earlier than 37 weeks gestation. Buck "s findin$5 were presented June 19 at the meetmg of the Society for Epidemiologic Research in Amherst , Mass. The study, conducted by Buck as a doctoral candidate in UB"s Depart· ment of Social and Preventive Medi• cine, also woo the Society's prestigious Abraham Lilienfeld Award for best student resean:h. She is currently a clinical assistant professor in the depart· ment. SIDS, which swiftly and without warning k.ills, usually within the first six months after birth, has no known cause. SIDS babies are typically nor· mal, healthy infants who are found dead, wually in their cribs. This killer of infanta gives no signs, no s.rmptoms. and it strikes rich and poor alike. "Diaanosis of SIDS at autopsy is N always a diagnosis of exclusioit, it re mains as the likeliest cause of death when all other diseases and disorde rs have been excluded.· says Buck . The UB research«. says reducti on in birth weight and binh length. called proponional growth retardation, which the SlDS infants share. lllay be related to insults which occur to the fetus early in the pre11nancy. These ansults include the mother's consumption of aJcohol: consumption of drugs - ille~al, prescription. or ove r-the-counter~ madequate nutrition. and exposure to chemicals or other substances in the environment which can affect fetal growth. These may be particularly critical in the earliest weeks and months of pregnancy . Buck believes. "We know, for instance, the fetus achieves about 75 per cent of ita birth length by the end of the eecond trimester of pregnancy," abe points out. Then:fon:, it may be during this time that insults which would slow the growth involving length could occur. n general, risk of SIDS decreases I SIDS, with increase in infant size. which was formally recognized during the early 1960s, occurs in two to three live births per thousand in the population of developed nations around the. world, a rate which remains unchanged toda y. It is extremely difficult . says Buck . to estimate the figures ror S IDS m developing nations because infa nts there are likely 10 die within the first year of life from a variety of diseases and problems co nnected with nutriti on and environment. B}.lck 's stud y examined barth weight. birth length. head circu mference and length of time in utero for aJI babies born in New York State in 1974, excluding New York C it y. She then examined ide nticaJ factors for infant deaths in New York State for 1974 and 1975. A total of 148 autopsies con· firmed cases of SIDS, 114 infant deaths from all other causes including trauma and 355 living infants who had reached their first birthday were compared in the stud y. .. Even when I examined factors such as education levels and occupations of the parents of the babies in the three groups, none of these data .. ~u~,te4. socicreconomic, educational or ·· Faeallii status of the parents affected the SIDS risk," Buck points out. The only facto"· she says, which the SIDS babtes bad in common wen: birth weight of less than live pounds five ounces, birth length of less than 20 inches and a gestation period of less than 37 weeks. "This is not to. say that all babies which fit th is pattern will d ie of SIDS." she. emphasizes, .. it only suggests that these factors which are the result of delayed development which occurs in pregnancy ~ puts them at higher risk . than average ... B ased on the results of her st udy , Buck says it would appear that the earlier the mother·to-be receives prenatal co unse lin~ and examination. the better for the mfant. ·· Man y women may believe that it's not important to check in with the doctor or clinic until they ·show' weight gain. Others may not believe they an: pregnant in the first two months. especially if they have a history of irregular menstrual periods," Buck points out. And some physicians have suggested women not schedule their rtrSt prenatal visit until after they've missed two periods. .. The study suggests, however. that the earlier the mother-to-be gets adequate nutrition, abstains from alcohol and tobacco and other chemicals including illegal drugs as well as medi· cations, the less likely she may be to run the risk of the baby dying later from SIDS," Buck surmises. Buck's study was conducted with grant ' monies from the National SIDS Foundation and assistance> from the Ne.w York State Health Department. 0 �July. I, 1117 Sum....,.

Roswell Park is one of the UB Medical School's teaching hospitals. Doctoral candidates obtain their Ph.D.s through a joint program, the UB Roswell Park Graduate Division. The Long Range Strategic Plan for Roswell Park was announced by State Health Co mmissioner David Axelrod , M.D . and Thomas Tomasi. M.D .. the institute director. The long-awaited plan recommend s removing the institute from the jurisdic- tion of the State Health Department and establishing it as a public benefit corporation. The Health Department now· oversees iu operation, but the new plan would 1et up a new board of trustees and give the inStitute director greater executive po,..,n. The report also recommends that RosMH Park strengthen its relationship with the UB School of Medicine by sig ning an agreement tbat would expand and reinforce its affiliation as a teaching hospital. Tomasi wants UB to be more involved in Roswell Park's doctoral, posHioctoral and residency programs. The closer relationship wiU also be renected in changes in the institute's infrastructure; for example, heads of Roswell Park uniu will also 1erve as heads of the same UB uniu, for example, radiation or oncolo~ . Salary enhancement tS another part of the plan that involves UB. Tomasi said that pbysiciaru' salaries at Roswell Park have nol been competitive with other academic institutions, including UB. A stronger affiliation agreement with UB would help remedy the recruiting problems, an d also benefit joint UB / RosweU programs. The plan would develop a faculty practice plan (UB established one in 1984) to correct wage scale deficiencies. Curn:nUy, Roswell Park and UB representatives serve on search committees to ftll key positions at the institute. Those named to fill the positions will have joint U B Jppointmcnts. That joint appointment, Tomasi added, will help supplement salaries. Other major features or the plan al_'e to: ) :.Construct a new clinical facil_ity by • Establish a magnetic resonance imaging center lo meet regional needs and strengthen its radiation medicine program. • Establish a scientific advisory hoard to help maintain quality of research and provide directions for ne" research . • Increase marketing efforts l o retain and attract more cancer patients. 0 �Julyt,1117 ~No.2 Awards he hestlaw stude nt> in trial tcchni<JUC . th ~ yea( , biggest ach1ever in urhan planning. and the num be r one c ho ice of the American Academ y of (;o ld Fo il Operator- were among 1ho'e honored by van ou' U B de· panmenl' 10 May .

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

The JAB rank-ordered the vo Ueyball, and football . Exoept for foo tball, these sports will all be able to provide grants-in-aid to prospective recruits.

To make the process even more com plex . Di visio n II grant-in-aid money can be split up between tnore than one student. Thus 12 grants-in-aid at the Division 11 level could be used to provide partial scholarships for more than 12 players. At the Division I level, no partial scholarships are allowed, so one grantin-aid mea ns one st udent athlete. lthough U B officials say they have no reason to believe the NCAA A will den y the University's application, until it is approved UB coaches will continue to be slightly over a barrel in their recruiting effons. According to Larry Steele, sports information director at UB, coaches in the Tier One spons have in some cases been unable to sign prospective recruits without bein~ able to officially offer them a grant-m-aid. Ed · Muto, interim sports director at UB, is hopeful that the NCAA will all.eviate this problem , with the approv· al of UB's application, by mid-to-late June. AccordJng to Muto, the wajt for a decision has also made the scheduling of games and meets more difficult than in past years. Scheduling should become easier since it has been announced that UB will join the Mideast Collegiate Confer· ence for the 1987-88 season. This will prove a big help, particularly in bas· ketball where, according to NCAA rules, it is necessary for UB to play at least 50 pe r cent of its games against Division II teams. UB will join Ganqon University, Mercyhurst, Lemol"e• Mansfield State, Philadelphia Textile, Poa: University, and Adelphi College in their new con· ferenoe. UB bad previously been a member of the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Confer· enoe).

But UB aluinnus Tanri , Abeng, president director of PT Multi Bintang, Indonesia's largest beer brevicry, shies away from the comparison. .. You can't compare us; lacocca is a businessman in a b1g cou ntry. ~aybe (you can compare us) in terms of what I'm doing in a small place," Abeng says. " I share his management philosophy - basically, business is people. Bustness is organization and organization is peo~le. " Like Chrysler chief lacocca, Abeng, 45, is an infl uential business leader whose expertise in the area of man· · agement extend s far beyond his company. In fact, Abeng. who was at UB last mohth to speak at the School of Management 's co mmencement, estimates he spends about half of his 12-hour workdays on Multi Bintang business and half on his ..extracurricular .. activities. He is president of the Indonesian Management Association: a member of the ad visory board of the Indonesian Institute of Management Development, a lllllllagement school that grants an MBA degree; chairman of the Environmenlal Depanmept of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce; a permanent member ot a government committee on business, manaaement and economic iuuea, and founder, fmt ;resident and cunent board member o the lndone..sian Finaucial Executive Institute. An · avid tennis player, Abeng is chairman of the Indonesian Lawn Tennis Association, and serves as a member of the International Council of the New Yorkbased Asia Society. e also is involved in several personal ventures, including a plantation and a management consulting firm. Although he says he did not have the capilal f(lr these ventures, be was asUd to participate because of his business expertise. .. Particularly in Indonesia and other developing countries, someone with a reasonable educational background and experience always wiU be in tremendous demand ," Abeng says . "I ' m involved in almost every new management activity in the country. It's hard to escape from that; you are in demand. .. It's not nice to say 'no'. I can say •no' in business, but when it comes to penonal favon , I have a. problem saymg ' no ' ... Abeng was one of several prominent businessmen nominated by the GOL- H fo~Rth~r l~d~~!i!',art~arllam~id:,~ Consultative Assembly. The party, which won 75 per cent of the voting tn the January election, bas yet to select those who will actually serve in the government. Abeng . says he would accept a post in the assembly. wpjch is more of an honorary body than tht, parliament. "If N ifficult for business people to . takf both (positions)," be says. "Parliament is a full-time political JOb; that is not my intention. (As a busiDCSSman) I have to have an interest in politics, but I don't want to be a politician. But if an assembly ~st becomes available;, I will welcome 11. • Neither buiiness nor politics were among Abeng's early . interesu; as a youth, be wanled to be a teacher. "While in elementary school ·J thought the most respectful occupation was teaching, • be says, not.ina that teaching •as an occupation where one •could be somebody, be respectful and do 5<1mething for somebody else. • However, a year spent in the United States during the 1960s' as part of the Amer.ican Fteld Service (AFS) program changed his penpective. "I learned about industry, the business sector and the U.S. fmc enterprise system, which appreciates that one Clln contribute to sOCiety and to himself as a private citizen, • be says. pon returning to lndooc:sia, be earned a bachelor of business administration degree from Hasanuddin Univenity while working part time as an administrator at a local company. He returned to Western New York he had attended Clarence Central Higb School while in the AFs program earning his MBA degree from UB in 1968 . .. It w~ratber natural for me to concentrate on business," he says. "I found it to be very dynamic; if anything, business is probably one o( the most dynamic professions. There's always a challenge. You've got to survive, and you're always under pressure to sutvive and perform (financially)," unlike working for the government, which has almost unlimited resources. Three days after graduation, Abeng began work as a management trainee for Union Carbide Corp. He held several positions with Union Carbide's Indonesian and Singapore d ivisions before landing his current positio n with Multi Bintang. When Abeng took over as head of tbe beer company in 1980, it was owned solely by Heineken Internat io nal, the Dutch brewer. Under Abeng's leaden hip, it has gone public, with Heineken owning about 76 per cent of the shares. U H e also has changed the col1'pany's direction. In a cpuntry that IS predominantly Moslem - Moslems are not sup~ to, dilink ak:ohol - a company dlat aelll' ~only beer would serve a very small market, says Abeng, who .penuaded his superion to change the company's name from Bir Bintang to PT Multi Bintang. .. We recog nize the fact that beer continues to be limited in terms of volume, ... he says . .. We're maintaining beer as one of our main products, but arc diversifying to non-beer beverages. We have to minimize the vulnerability of the com pan y ; the com pan y is vulnerable if there is only one product, particularly if that product is beer. • The company has launched two new products, Frezzy Malta, a drink with a malt base hut no alcohol, and Green Sands Shandy, a blend of apple and lime concentrates and beer. Since the drink has less. than I per cent alcoho l content, it is considered a soft drink. Multi Bin tang . is one of the best structured companies in lodonesia in terms of management systems and tbe professionalism of the stall. Abeng says. " In Indonesia, what we call management is still very young," he says. Chief executives usually are directly involved in the day-to-day operations of their companies and normally are unable to ilelegate tbeoc duties, he says. " Managing a business in Indonesia is not as easy as managing in welldeveloped countries, such as the United ~tales, where. everything is structured," Abeng noted. "In Indonesia, the (business) environment changes so rapidly you don't ftnd easily profes.oional managen who have the capabilities _to work individually. They need a lot of highlevel involvement to keep the company functioning. • T be management characteristics that work well for American companie! on Amencan IIIII ba.e haibjlered American multinational comparues operating in developing countries such as Indonesia, Abeng says. Aliterican multinationals held 80 ~r cent ohbe total foreign investment m Indonesia in 1968; that ftpre today has plunged to only 8 per cent, be says. Abeng cites five "weiliesses • of American multinationals that have pre- TanrlAbMg vented the co mpanies from capitalizing on the investment opportunit ies in developing countries : • Bureaucracy, or a lack of speedy decision-mak ing. ..In developing countries, changes take place rapidly. You can 't afford not to h ave speed y decision-making, .. he says. • Managing businesses in foreign countries as if they were American. "I call it the cook book approach to management," Abeng says, noting manage n have to consider the special circumstances of foreign co untne5, such as the culture., • Frequent shifting of employees within the company. " Multinatio nals have a tendency to shift people around so quickly. People perform (in one position) for a short period of time and tn the process (managen) very often sacrUIQC the long·tCflll J nterests of the company," be says, calling~e companies .. bottom-line oriented ... • Fear of risk-taking. "There is a tendency by multinational managen to avoid risk-taking. They want to protect their own interests and in the process lose their entrepreneurial spirit, which is needed, particularly in developing countries."' • Difficulty adapting to chan$•· " Multinationals have a problem wtth tiying to adapt to changes, • Abeng says, adding that the management sys'tems are very rigid. "They have difficulty responding to new things; they have to remember that local COJDpanies and.........ultinationals are competing agailllt tbem. ~What has got to be recognized by the multinationals is that unless tbey can be more 'flexible and recogni%e and ada~t to changes, and be less bureaucrattc, they will continue to find it difficult to take advantage of opportunities in the developing countnes," he says. o Abeng knew they must sell more than beer in a Moslem countryMoslems can't drink.

' he National Ce nter for Earthquake E ngineering Research (NCEER) sponsored a semin ar May 12 at U B on two recent earthquakes - o ne in Ecuador and one in New Zealand . The ce nter sent a team of engineers from Co rnell Un iversity to Ecuador. after the March 5 earthquake there. The NCEER team was the first group dispatched from the U.S . to gather information on the effects of this earthquake. The earthquake has major signifi- T cance for earthquake engineering , acrording to Estaban C=po. a graduate student at Cornell , and Thomas D. O'Rourke, Ph.D., associate professor of civil ens!ocering at Cornell It's significant because of the damage it caused to the Traos-Ecuadorian piJ»Iine and to other structures. Crespo reported that the damage to the piJ»Iine re~rescnts the largest single loss of a pipehne in history. • Two tremors were recorded on March 5 in the Napo Province, one at 8:55 a.m. measuring 6. 1 on the Richter scale and another at I I: II a .m. measuring 6.9. The quakes triggered mudslides aod rock avalanches ncar the active vol- . cano, El Reventador. The mudslides,. in tum , caused rivers to swcU with mud and debris. The mudslides and fl oodi ng caused the death of up to 2,000 people in th e rural area th at was dotted wi th villages. J"he eart hqu ake damaged the 26-inch lfans-Ecuad o rian pipeli ne which car ries o il 260 miles from the Ecuad o rian oil fields eas t of the Andes Mountains to the pa n of Es meraJd as on t he Pacific Ocean. In a ll locations of dam age , the pipeli ne was constructed above groun d , supponed by concrete pedestals or double pipe piles with cross beams. About 6.5 mtles of the pipeline was. com pletely dest royed along the north bank of the Coca River, east of its connuencc with the Salado River. according to Crespo. An additional 10 miles of the pipeline ieast of the Malo River was damagea by mud Oows, se ve ring the pipeline in at least eight places. Othe r sections were defonned with significant distonion and displacement of ~hove­ ground pipetine supports. The Salado Pump Station at th e confluence of the Salado and Coca Rivers was severely damaged. A landslide toppled the main storage tank , spilling 4,500 barrels of crude oil. Other damage was caused by seismic motions. A tank that stored water for fighting fires buck.led and separated from connecting lines, rendering it inoperabk. An eight-inch natural gas ~ipeline. known as the Poliducto Pipeltne. fo iJows the same route as the TransEcuadorian Pipeline, and both were destroyed in the same locations. T he New Zealand earthquake occurred a few days eartier, on March 2. Peter I. Ymev of EQE Incorporated in San Francisco presented some of the dramatic damage cauoed by th.t quake. · His visit was supported by the Eleciric Power Ro;scarcb Institute of Palo Alto, The - z- .,.,..maCN1f1P1et1 - . .n ot018fl" t.nh at • ~plant California. Registering 6.5 on the Richter scale, the earthquake was located i ~ the vicinity "of the town of Whakatane QD the coast of the Bay of Plenty, about 220 ki lo meters southeast of Auckland. Severe deformation s occurred in railways in the town of Edgecumbe. Yanev estim ated that the ground accelerati on wo uld have had to be from 0.5 to I g to cause such deformations. The acce lerations caused a stationary diesel engi ne to tip over at the Edgecumbe train statio n~ and a stationary logging truck was ovenumed oearby. The only known strong motion record was taken at the Matabina Dam and Power Station. The peak horizontal acceleration is recorded at- about 0.33 g.

Circuitous logic EDITOR: The May 7 issue of the Rt!po rii!r carried a debate on animaJ experimentation between Gary Ketchum and Dr. Boris Albini. Mr. Ket-chum took issue with Dr. Albini simply drawing. rather than justifyibg or establishing, the distinction between h umans and animals. Such 1 distinction, ofter all, helps support Dr. Albini's po.ition. Ioterc::stingly, though, Mr. Ketchum employed preci.scJy the same approach. Sounding very much like a student of philosophy, Mr. Ketchum uaened that the species distinction wu irrelevanL Rather. he pr<:fened to fOCUI on 1 hi&her te.el of geoerality (I brooder eon<:<ntric circle) of sentieocc - something anima.lJ apd humans share. • Did he establisb or jUJtify, rather thao simply usert, this new focus?

No - it merely supported Mr. Ketchum's previous position on this issue. Tbe circularity is obvious. He focuses on sentience because it ~uppons h1s position against animal upcri.mentation, which is the neccasary conclusion from the focus on sentieoce, which supports the position aaainst animal uperirneutation.

Baldus. The study, which examined more than 2,000 murder cases in Georgia, shows that defendants convicted of killing white penons received tbe deatb sentence in II per cent of the cases, but per1j>ns convicted of killing blacks received the death penalty in only I per cent of the cases. The Baldus study also found that tbe death penalty was invoked in 22 per cent of cases inv61ving black defendants and white victims; 8 per cent of cases involving white-<lcfendanu and white victims; I per cent of, cases involving black defendan\S ana black victims, and 3 per cent of tbe cases involving white defendants and black victims. Howe suggested that, based on the Baldus Study, · McCleskey more tban likely would have escaped the deatb penalty had his victim been black. As an associate profeuor of sociology at UB and tbe holder of a law degree, Howe has conducted considerable research into the emerging pattern of judicial acceptance of social science evidence as an ingredient in the legal process. A study by Howe and Murray Levine, Ph.D . , a UB psychology pr<1esso~, on "The Penetration ,pf Soctal Sc1ence mto Lc:gal Culture," was published in 1985 in Law cl Policy, a legal journal. The study cites two court decisions as benchmarks representio~ tbe time span involved in the chaogmg Pllttem of judicial thinking. Cited are Muller vs. Oregon, a U.S. Supreme Court decision iuued in 1908, and Hovey vs. Superior Court, a 1980 He wouldn't have' been executed if his victim was black, study suggests. The study, by Charles Winick., a professor of sociology at City Uoivenity of New York, and Alexander B. Smith, professor emerit us of sociology at CUNY, delves into the practice of sequestering a jury following a trial The two researchers examined the outcome of jury trials in New Yoik and Kings Counties. over a two-year period. lDe data demonstrated that there il a 16 per cent greater chance of a guilty verdict by a sequester~ jury than by a non-sequestered jury. Aside from the "fair trial" question, Howe pointed out, the findings seem to contradict a prevailing belief among lawyers that "the longer a jury deliberates, the better the charu:e for acquittal .~ A sequestered jury, she explained, il viewed as a jury that will deliberate over a relatively long period of time. Howe concedes that the "final verdict" on the effects of sequestering a jury will depend upon further resean:h. Howe and Lc:vine wrote in their 1985 resean:h report: .. We can have some confidence that members of the legal profession will learn more about social science and iU methods in the foreseeable future, and, as..U.ey l~am more, there will be more, ralli'er than less, reliance on social science. "The futu re," the report concluded, "will depend both upon the ability of social' scientists to continue to develop systematic bodies of knowledge tbat are penuasive in their own terms, and upon the ability · of members of the legal profession to come to understand the social sciences intimately. • . o : . .. ....Ja.•__ , ________ .. ____ ,.___ __ :_____ ---'- ___._ . .. ��..... 11; 1117 s.-N0.1 Roll 'em Students produce plays written at UB By CLARE 0 SHEA "Roll , roll , roll , roll, rol f.' ...

At the same ti~me. Barsadeh was studying English literature and mass communications full time at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Then he staned writing scripts. One of these, written while Barsadeh was .working for JerusaJem Co mmunicaJ tion s, wa s s ubmitted to England 's C hannel 4 as a possi ble co-production. "All of a sudden I realized that this scri pt was ~oing to be din;cted and hacked to p•eces !" Barsadeh said. "I'm a n auteur at heart - I didn't want so meont else screwing up these scripts.

The studio wasn' ideal - for s ahers, it was about a third of the size t hat Barsadeh would need for a pro~­ sional production.

UB has more training than any other police force in our area." Public Safety officers learn the ropes By FRANK BAKER ith one session cOmpleted and another one well under Office rs. W way, the SUNY Training Acaaemy for Public Safety once looked upon with sus picion. is now receiving glowing vo tes of confidence . The academy. located at the State Pohce Academ y ' " Albany, trains new Public Safety officers during a n mtcnsified 11 -wcek period . C urrentl y three U B officers James Ca puti . John Venditti, and Peter Sabio - are en rolled , and one, J1m Smith. is a training associate, a job that involves the co unseling of other officers. Two other U B Pubhc Safety officers ~.:o mpleted their training last summer . ··1 was suspicious of it at first." admitted Lee Griffin, dtrector of Public Safe ty at U B. ''bu t now I'm very pleased with it." Donald Kreger , unit chairman of Untversity Police Local 1792. agreed w1th Griffin. " I do su pport It now because it IS a )!tJOd academy," h.e said . " I was np po>ed because SUNY has had a bad lr <u.: ~ record with training and becaute ot one o f the reasons given for having the: academy. We (the uni on) were told the reason for having the academy was tn stop officers from transferring to other po lice departments. That's not ng ht." Acco rding to Bruce Mc Bride. the director of Umversity Public Safety who runs th e academy. the 25 or so officers in each class undergo 405 ho urs uf "very IOtl·nse "' training. ''The officers a re tra1ned 1n such aspects of law enforcement as patrol ope rat1 ons. inves tigati o ns. campus Situations . law, crime preventio n. and cns ts interven tion," he noted . Prior to the formation of the academy, UB's Public Safety oflicers were trained at the CentraJ Police Training Academy which serves the Buffa.Jo and surrounding area 's police departments. "This academy is much more demanding because it is 24 hours a day," said Griffin. "One of the officers who completed the training last summer, and whom we lost to the Amherst Police Department. said he thought this training facility was much harder than the local one." "M ost officers don 't like to go to Albany," observed Kreger. "It's eight hours of classroom work per day and I I weeks away from home. While it 's not as physically demanding as the State Police Academy, mentall y it is tougher." (It s hould be noted that while SUNY's train ing academy lS located on the sa me grounds as the State Police Academy, they are separate entities.) Added Griffin: "SUNY requires 60 hours of college credit for their officers. Only the Suffolk a nd Wes tchester Police Departments have the same requirements. The local departments only require a GED (High School Graduation Equivalency Degree) for their officers and they even have openbook tests on the use of deadly physical force . That I can~ believe." Griffin emphasized that "UB has more training than any other police force in the area ... "QUF 19fficers also train becween se~ter{ in water safety, first aid, and the usc of deadly physical force ," said Griffin! Since man y Pubhc Safety officers move on t o various local police departments and still others retire, the demand for new officers is copistentl y high. That , coupled with th<.fact that each new recruit must, by law. attend the academy, means a large back.log of candidates lOr the facility_ - ·.. The training academ y in Albany was originally formed to provide better traini ng for Public Safety officers and to get rid of the backlog of officers who needed ·' training," explained McBride. 0 fficer s mu s t be se nt to the academy within their first year on the job, said Griffin. "They arc on probation for that year and can't work alone Uiltil their training has been co mpleted . Once their academy training has concluded. the y must be field trained by an officer for an additional six weeks," Griffin stated. He also added that if a n officer fails either pan of the training, he or she is subject to a severe penaJty. "They will be terminated if tl.ey fail t o co mplete either part of their training," said Griffin . .. But we haven't had to do that as often in the last few years because we have had a bigger and better crop of officers to choose .'rom. The applicants are more qualified now ... McBride. w.ho has hts doctorate if1 cri minal justice and was a police officer himself, believes the academy is ht aded in the right direction. · .. All of our trainers were impr~sed with the first group of gradua tes. Once we get rid of the backlo~ we have. we will have just one sessto n per year. That will make it much easier for everyone." ... like the academy because ic is headed in the right direct io n," said Kreger. .. The training is better than we e.pccted . There are State Police and Public Safety instructors, as well as miscellaneous personnel such as lawyers. "It's a good operation . We have to make it the best possi ble acade my that it can be." he concluded . D School toasts its anniversary with 'Management Wine' By SUE WUETCHER T he idea was to develop "a bit of gimmickry" for the School of Management'S 60th anniversary, says John H. Shellum, assistant dean for external affairs. And what better way than to join forces with one of New York State's most offbeat entrepreneurs, Walter S. Taylor, owner of Bully Hill Vineyards. The collaboration between the school a'l.d the vintner who developed such lighthearted libations as " Space Shuttle" red , white, and rose wines, and "Love My Goat" red wine has produced the equally memorable "School of Management ~Oth anniversary" . white and red wines. These bottles of regular-vintage Bully Hill table wine bear special labels designed in honor of the school's 60th Anniversary. The wine was unveiled at the school's anniversary · dinner April II. · " I've never seen people leave an event before with empty bottles ·of "'ine as souvenirs," says Shellum, noting that the wines attracted much atteoti,oo. .. ::Jil J Even UB President Steven B. Sample, who offered the University's welcome at the dinner, jokingly congratulated the "individual who had tbe perspective 60 years ago to bottle this fine wine." Shellum says the groundwork for the annivenary wine was laid by Burton Notarius, a member of the board of directors of the School of Management Alumni Association and owner of Premier Center liquors. who contacted Taylor .about bottling a private label wine for th e school's anniversary . Although Tulor. an accomplished anist, designs most of the private labels himself, he declined to design the School of Management label due to personal commitments. However, he offered to bottle the wine if the school provided tbe labels, Shellum says. The labels were Sterling c_ Sommer Inc., of the school's off<ampus printing. and feature artwork by Eggertsville artist Patricia Schneider. The front label highlights a reproduction of a watercolor of Jacobs Management Ce nter. and the back label includes a smaller black-and-white reproduction of a watercolor of Crosby Hail, home of the school until 1985. Both watercolors originally had been commissione4 from Schneider by the School of Management and presented as gifts to Dean Joseph A. Aluuo, Sbellum says. n addition to the watercolor, the top half of the back label includes background information on the School of Management. But the bottom half of the label is uniq uel y Bully Hill. The internationally known red circle-andslash symbol tops a sketch of an oldtime roadster, a wine glass and a bottle. The graphic is accompanied by the warning that "even though wine has been used by humans for over 4,253 years, irresponsible use of this product could be harmful." The label also refers to Taylor's welldocumented legal problems with the Coca-Cola Co., noting that "the anwork on our labels is the work of the owner of Bully Hill who cannot legibly use his name or heritage on these designs because of a U.S. Federal Court action." Coca-Cola bought the family-owned Taylor Wine Co.' in 1977 and has prevented Walter Taylor from using the Taylor name in connection with Bully Hill. The private-label agreement with Bully Hill required the School of Management to -order a minimum of 70 cases of each type of wine, Sbellum says. The school bas been selling the wine to its faculty and staff. "We think: it's a nice thing for people associated with the school to have," be says, aJtliou~ State liquor laws prevent school offiCials .from scllin•.tbe. wine to outaide parties, ini:lud · i'loiiunni.

We took him home from the hospital to love and care for as one additional member of a family that-already numbered six: four children; my husband, also named Bob, and myseH. . Our new son would leam to take his lumps along with the rest of the brood! We all soon found that he was much more capable than we had been led to expect. Special Olympics has played a major role in Bob's development. He has competed since 1980. He has teamed <l spirit of healthy compet~ion and the reward of knowing he did his best. even though his best may not have meant first place. Our family has watched with pride and a feeling of accomplishment as h& collected his treasured mementos. In this article, 1 hope to capture the feelings of other Buffalo families with a Special Olympian who has been involved in the Games for some time . The first person I asked to cOmment was our son.

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

The UB Stadium. an outdoor track and field complex located in the area surrounded by Audubon Pky., Augspurger Rd., and Flint Entrance, is hosting its second Empire State Games competition. The stadium design utilizes the "bowl and berm" technique of scooping out the center .of an existing plateau of earth. The synthetic playing field is encircled by an eight-lane, 440-meter synthetic surface running track. The 4,000 spectator seats are built into the berm of the bowl-shaped structure, with expansion possibilities of up to 40,000 seats. The track's infield will be usea for events such as high jump; triple jump, long jump, and pole vault. Throwing events such as discus. javelin, shot put, and hammer throw will be held on adjacent grass fields outside the immediate stadium but within the same fenced-in compound. THE RECREATION AND ATHLETIC:> COMPLEX (RAG). featuring more than 200.000 square feet of floor space and housing facilities thai 1nclude an Olympic"-size pool and an 1mpressive assortment of playing courts, will host events ranging from water polo, swimming and diving, to judo. The massive facility, built in two stages. is located at the eastern end of the Amherst Campus's "Academic Spine" and ranks among the finest of its kind on any university campus. DeSigned for physical recreation, relaxation, and physical development, the RAG serves the combined needs of infercollegiate and other amateur sporting events as wen-as intramural, club. and Individual sports. Construct1on of Phase I of the E4 RAG, the south wing, was completed in March, 1982. This part of the facility is \lesigned primarilyior court sports and indoor track, and includes locker roqms, training rooms, offices. equipment" checkout facilities, and six . handball a:i'idiiicquetball courts. w•"k on Phase II, the-north wing, was completed in April 1985. It . houses the natatorium, gymnastics faCilities, a dance studio and wrestling room, as well as academic space for the University's intramural and recreation programs and · required physical education cours_:s. ALUMN I ARENA, THE FIVE-STORY field house th at is' the focal point of the south wing, is named in honor the more than 100,000 men and women who have graduated from the University since it was founded in 1846. Jn rec09nizes their contributions both to the University and to society. The 48,000-square-foot arena floor offers a competition volleyball court supplemented by three additional volleyball courts. three basketball courts 1ncluding a competition court. and eight badminton courts. All are surrounded by an eight-lane. 200meter running track considered to be one of the finest indoor ovals in this part of the country. The arena's modern design features a hardwood playing surface that is the largest "free-floating" wooden floor in the world.

"For 95 per el9nt of the participants, this is the biggest sporting event they'll ever go to." Abernethy noted. Because the Empire State Games are tailored to the Olympic format, they can act as a stepping stone tor many athletes. " If we do our jo.l> well, the U.S. Olympic Committee will acquire some very good athletes from us." Abernethy said. Wrestler Jeff Blatnick and baske)ball player Chris Mul-lin both struck gold at the -1984 Olympics aher participating in five of the previous Empire State Games. Nearly 25 per cent of the 1984 men's Olyfl)pic canoe /kayak team was composed of former Empire State Games participants. Further testimony to the gualfty of the athletes can be found : fwo of this year's National Basketball Assoc iation first-round draM p ic ks~o, ' Pearl Washington and Walter BerrY\ were participants in th e t 985 Games; and heavyweight boxing sensation Mike Tyson won the gold medal at lhe t984 Games.

"They altributed the success of the ... Canadian team to the network of · amateur athletic competitions held throughout Canada." Wolfe recalled. "So I thOught to myself, if they can do it in Canada. why can't we do it here in New York State?" And the concept of the Empire State Games was born. The New York State Com m issio~ on Sports and Winter Olympics, a standmg committee whose primary obtective at that trme·was to plan the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, also was asked by then-Governor Hugh Carey to look mto the feasrbility of mountmg the Emlme State Games. Commrssron members met rn Febouary, 1977, to discuss the Games concepl at the house of the president of Plattsburgh College. Margaret Grossberger. a commrssron member. 1eca11s that brarnstormrng session: "II was a cold. wmtry day rn February of 1977 when we gal logelher 10 drscuss the formrng of the games. Some of the people presenl were at first a little skeptrcal about the whole th ing. But. as the meeting proceeded. it seemed to be more and more possible. The rdea fUSI took off that night. It's a mght I'll never forget. " Dr Ernest Rangazas, director of athletics at the State University · College at Plaltsburgh, was instrumental in selling up the games. Rangazas was the one who suggested the event be called the "Empire State Games." The name was well received and it stuck. The concept gained momentum when Carey took a strong interest in the games. he first Empire State Games were finally held in August of 1978 in Syracuse, also the site bf the next six games. . .. ''The games were originally set up . to move to a different venue each year, but no oQe had the kind ot facilities and accommodations that Syracuse had to house and feed so many athletes at one time," said Mike Abernethy, qxecutive director of the Empire State Games. "Syracuse didn't want to lose them once they got them. The Games did a lot for Syracuse." This year's games, as well as last year's. are based at the State University at Buffa lo and other locations in Western New York. "The idea of moving the games to Buffalo started in 198 f. A lot of planning was involved," said Abernethy. Aside from the inllux of dollars and commerce that the games will generate. Abernethy belerves the games will have a great rm pact on UB by making it the exclusive focus of State-wide attention for the week. "The people of Western New York have had the opportun ity to witness the events fi rsthand, something that they had never done before," said Abernethy. The games themselves have changed in their brief, eight-year history. For instance, the first games in 1978 featured an Open Division· and T a Scholastic Division only. In 1981 , a Masters Division was added to enable older participants to compete against their peers. About 10 events have been added to the Scholastic Division since the first games in 1978 and five have been ac;tded to the Open Division. Though they 've changed through the years. the Games have survived. In fact , the event has been emulated by 21 other slates. Abernethy noted. "Many people 1nought the whole · idea of the Games would fall through, bu1 ~ didn't," he noted. " We 're very proud of how well the Games have done. The Games are very good for o the people of New Yark State." UB's Team Steering committee worked for months F or the second consecutive year, UB's Empire State Games Steering Committee has applied a "total team effort" to preparing for th e summer's events.

Wagner ·applauded committee members and their entire staffs, · noting, "this was clearly a Universitywide effort." The steering committee operated on two levels: first . each member 'was in charge of one aspect of the preparation: and th~n the group as a whole met with Wagner and Schmitt to c oordinate interaction of all groups. This system worked so well for the committee at last summer's 1985 Games that Empire State Games E:xecutive Director Micha~l Abernethy called them ·:the best Games ever." For the last two summers, Buffalo and the University have benefitted greatly as hosts to the Empire State Games. and it is hoped they will return here after a two-year term in Syracuse.

Western New York can measure its gain by an economic boost for businesses which figu res to reach $4.5 million during the five days the games are here. o respond to other UB locations. EMTs on duty at a location will have a trauma box and an oxygen unit. Trauma boxes are the "general _store" of emergency medical care they contain material that aids in treating an injury, even the most serious, until the ambulance arrives. If a medical problem needs attention from a physician, corps members will transport patients to the UniversitY Health Sefvice office located fn Porter Quadrangle of the Ellicott Complex where doctors and nurses,are on duty.

"The only thing that's normal about weather is its high variability," commented Donald Wuerch, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service at ttie Buffalo International Airport. In other words, the only thing that is consistent about weather is its inconsistency. Predicting weather conditions. according to 'wuerch, is an iffy and nebulous proposition. For the we~k of the games. Wuerch said, " It's generally a warm part of the August month. Based on past records, precipitation during the period usually comes in the form of scattered showers and thunderstorms at the rate of one out of every three days. "This amounts to a probability of about 30 to 35 per cent ol precopotation every day. We also have a good deal of -sunshine. It's safe to poont out. loa," Wuerch continued. "that the Buffalo area is air conditioned in the afternoon by the Great Lakes' sea breezes and that makes it cooler than surrounding . areas away from the Great Lakes." he meterologist said the average high for Games week is 79 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low. 60 .degrees Fahrenheit. The days consist of 59 per cent sunshine on average with an average wind of 9.9 miles per hour prevailing out of the southwest. he points out. · The record high temperature for lhe week is 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which occurred on Aug. 9, t 9t 4. On the other hand, the record low for the period was a chilly 4 7 degrees Fahrenheit on Aug. 7. 1948. Generally, the weather conditions should be good for the Games. The temperature woll probably range between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a 30 to 35 per cent chance of rain each day throughout the entire week of competition. One thing is certain about predicting weather: you can't predict the u.npredictable. o T �What a week . it Was! The 1985 ·Games were memorable he· 1985 Empire State Games. What a week that was! From the opening ceremonies when the Governor greeted 16,000 cheering individuals in the pristine sfadium; to the 6,000 exuberant athletes kick -dancing to the State's unofficial anthem, "New York. New York;" to the hordes of expectant fans streaming into parking lots and event sites;· to the hustled observers filling the ble.achers in the pool/diving chamber to watch the · graceful practiced falls of lithe bodies off a 10-meter platform; \O IRe grim determination of runners, shiny with sweat, rounding thr; curves of the stadium; to the general aura of celebration and camaraderie with which the campus overflowed - a thousand images reflected the dreams of glory that drove the athletes on. The Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce estimated that the Gafni'S attracted more than 40,000 out-of/ town visitors and injected about $1 million a day j nto the Western New York economy. TM Chamber estimated that more than 100,000 people saw the games. doubling Syracuse's best attendance of 50,000 in 1984. The Western New York weather cooperated by providing clear skies every day and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. The sunny, intense heat prompted some outdoor spectators to employ Jawn chairs, beach umbrellas, thermos bottles. and other weekend outing paraphernalia. Many spectators, looking more like picnickers, were sprinkled across the . grassy hills around the new stadium. Herb Mots. head coach of the Western Team, summed up his impressions by saying, "The city and UB have responded well to the challenge. The Games themselves were the culmination of a dream that I've had for Buffalo .. " I am completely satisfied with the caliber of competition that we h.ad here," he said. "These athletes are top-notch and the best in the State and some will go to be Olympians." The coach made a long-term projection for the future: "The fact that the Games were so successful here is a strong indication of how well we can handle a major, amateur, athletic competition," he said. "I believe we can host any event up to and including the National Sports Fesli~a l' and the PanAmerican Games." Mary Seiler. winner of a bronze medal in judo. spoke for many of the athletes.

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

D. , associate professor in biochemistry at UB. While on sabbatical at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, Rekosh studied how the proteins on the outer shell or "envelope" of the AIDS virus operate. He worked on the project with his wife, MarieLouise Hammarskjold, M.D., Ph.D .. who is now ass1 stant professor of microbiology here. The coup le is applying for a grant to continue the work at UB. The two studied the envelope protein of the AIDS virus and the way it binds to white blood cells (lymphocytes). If that process is understood, it may be possible to develop a vaccine that prevents that binding, they said . " If the vi ru s can't attach to the cell. it can't get into the cell. and you w_on't get the infec tion . •• Hammarskjold explained. The envelope protein on the outside of the virus will recognize and bind with o nly cenain proteins. Recently it has been found. that the virus can invade brain cells and cause symptoms, but generally. it's the T -4 lymphocytes that are attacked. Rekosh said. The T -4 lymphocytes arc th e cells of the immune system that help other cells. called 8-cells. make antibodies . When the T -4 lymphocytes are invaded. the body can't make enough antibodies. wcakenmg the body's defenses against o ther infections. The AIDS patient develops "op portunistic" infections that prove fatal. In thei r work. Rck os h and Hammarskjold have taken a gene out of thl' AIDS virus and put it into an "expression vector." An exp ression vector allows foreign proteins to be made where they normally would not be made. The researchers introduce their ex.p(tssion vector into animal cells rather than into bacteria. · "You use the cell as a factory to Da•ld Rekom and Marle-Loul•e Hammarskjold produce the protein you want , .. Hammarskjold explained . I "If the virus can't attach to the cell, it can't get into it, and you won't get the infection." - HAMMARSKJOLD nstead of manufacturing a whole virus, the cell merely manufactures a protein from the virus. There are many advantages to this. First , researchers can wor~ mo re easily because there's no infectious virus around. Hammarskjold said that people working with the virus must take precautions even though it probat:Hy would take an injc:ction. not just an. open cut, to become infected with it. The manufacture of envelope protein has been accomplished by most other groups in bacteria rather than in animal cells. But envelope protein made in bacteria doesil '1. behave nor- • See AIDS, page 2 �July 31 , 1886 Summer No. 3 AIDS From page 1 mally, Rek osh not ed, and it is not useful for many types of studies. '' We've been able to produce a lot of protein. a nd we 've been able to show that it's extremel y similar, if no t identical. to the protei n mad e by th e actual vi ral infectio n," Rekos h sa id . " It loo ks th e sa me. and in a co upl e of diffe rent tests. it acts th e sa me." In Sweden. resea rchers are testing to see if th e protein bi nds to th e T -4 ce ll.

The two researchers will be able to continue t heir work unfunded· for a short time, but in the long run, they need money. Hammarskjold said . They're applying for .a grant which they hope will come through in November. ..The research we're doing, tlie questions we're asking, and the technology we're using are as good as is being done anywhere, " Rek.osh said ... We're at the forefront. ul've never had any trouble getting grants for research I thought was important,· so rm optimistic we11 get funded." IDS is important because of its impact on our society, he said. It A encompasses mOral , soc1al, political, and educationaJ iss ues. Sexuality in our society ~ changed a great deal by herpes , and 'that condition .isn't even lethaJ. he noted . "AIDS is the best th ing that could have happened as far as the fundamentalists are concerned ," .he said. "'If the disease had cp me into pregnant.women instead of homosexuals, society would have seen it as a threat and done something ~bout it. The gay community is very embittered about that."

Using the who le envelope p rotei n, enhc r in a vacc inia v1 ru s or by llse lf, is a naive app roach to vaccine deve lopment , Rckosh said . Pa n s of a protem . rather tha n a whole pro tein. will p robab ly be needed, he argues. and scientists must understand which parts to use. It's going to take sc1ence. not JUSt technol o gy. to deve lop an AIDS vaccine . "For a good vacci ne. you ha ve to understa nd how the en\lelope protein he lps the virus get into the cell that 's the basis of the sc1ence we want to look at." he explained . "Y o u ca n make a beuer vacc ine if yo u know how the vir us interacts with its host cell." Hammarskjo ld agreed . "Even if a vaccine was developed to morrow. the sc ientific question of how the protein work s would still be there." Rekos h added . "Not only is it a medical problem . but it 's a scientific problem . and it's as inte resting as any other. " Rekosh, who is co-di rec tor of UB's Ce nter for Applied Mo lec ular Biology and Immunology (CAM BI ). hopes to be able to link hi s basic research to eli meal researc h starting at CAM 81. AIDS, or to quarantine even people who are "antibody positive." · A person with antibodies may or may not ever get the disease, and, in a couple of cases, people seem to have cured themselves, Rekosh said. And even if a person has the disease, there's clear evidence that he's not infectious through· normal , casual contact, even with close famil y members. " I'm against usin~ the AIDS antibody test to discriminate against pco!l ple." he stated . Because it touches on topics such as drug addiction and seX the AIDS issue " hits western society-at.! its weak spots," Rekosh said. "It makes us deal with things we don' want to face . Since it has spread to prostitutes, we're going to have nice, ord inary middle-<:lass men bringing it home to their wives. But nobody wants to admit this goes on ... · · He emphasized that one of the keys to battling AIDS is education.

"I think everybQ.dy agrees wnh that.• 0 While the Swedes are " a hundred light-years ahead " of Americans when it comes to dealing with AIDS in a strai~htforward manner, even they have political problems, Rekosh said . An example is the way AIDS is spread a mong drug addicts. The prob· lem is much worse in Stockholm than it is 500 miles away iu the city of Mal mo. People in Stockholm can' purchase syringes legally, but those in Malmo can cross the channel and buy th em legally in nearby Denmark. Government official s d o n 't want to make it legal to purchase syringes fo r fear it will p ro mote drug addiction , Ham marskjold poi nted out, and right now d rug ad d ict ion is a bigger pro blem than A IDS. O ther diseases arou nd the worl d affect more people th a n A IDS does. Rekos h ad mits. Schis tosom iasis, which he is also doing wo rk on, affects 500 million people, mostly in Africa and So uth America. The ram ine in Eth io pia is ki ll ing mo re peop le than A IDS is. " Bu t peop le in the western wo rld are not used to people dyi ng next door. left and right.'' he said . . Rekosh cited statistics p resented at an A IDS co nfe rence in Paris by J . W. Curran, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control. If there is no change in social habits or treatments that are aVailable, by 1991 there will be 174 .000 peopl e in the U.S . with AIDS requiring care. In adduion. 179.000 will have already d1ed . Rek os h related a prediction from Wigzell of Sweden: .. If our resea rch efforts ca use a vaccine to be found one day sooner, it will save at least 500 lives." 0 Hypersonics course to attract engineers from around U.S. fou r-da y short co urse o n the fundamentals of hypersonic aeronauti ca l engineering, ","ill be o ffered at U B starung August 19 .

In what was looked on as an event of sign111cant Importance. the Iroquois Nationals regained their status as international competitors after a 100-yeel exile. The Nationals. founded ·in 1983 by Olen Lyons Jr.. Riel< HIR. and Wesl Patterson. played the Ausllalian. U.S.. and English national teams. The 08'M8 _., Intensely competitive and were highfighted by a dazzling array of shots, ""'-passing, and thunderous body checf<s. The national prid8 of all four teams was evident throughout, but When the dust had settled, good sportsmanship and mutual admiration prJ~Ied. a crosse: More thari just a game for the Iroquois ,, By SIIAWI CAlEY t would be appropriate to say that the Iro· quois Nationals lacrosse team lost the batUcs but finally won the war. The battles took place on June 14, IS, and 16 at UB's Rotary F~eld . The Australian, U.S., and English national teams all walked away with hard-fought victories over the Iroquois. But for tbc Iroquois, winning or losing was not the major issue; the games gave the Iroquois a chance to reclaim a sport they had given to the world over two centuries ago. The 11amcs marked a return to sanctioned international competition by the Iroquois - 100 yean after being exiled for alleged "profession· alism." This exhibition series coincided with the World Championship in field lacrosse held in Toronto this summer. The Iroquois Nationals had hoped t \ y in those Toronto games, but their appli· I cation to the International Lacrosse Federation was not accepted. So the Iroquois decided to host their own games. Buffalo was selected as a site because lacrosse is growing in this area, and it is central to the Iroquois players. . Lacrosse was introduced by Native Americans to European explorers in the 17th century. Three hundred yean later, however, the game has come to be associated with affluent white men and women who take it from prep school to college to amateur club. Conversely, during the last SO years, the Iroquois - a centuries-old confederacy of the Onondaga, Mobawalc, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora Nations, most of whose people live on reservations in upstate New Y.ork and southeastern Canada - have been relegated to playing a scaled-<lown version called box lacrosse. In botb games the object is to catch and carry the five-ounce ball in a woven basket at the end of a stick and then burl it into the goal. When Oren Lyons, Jr., a faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation and a member of the Turtle Clan, as well as an associate professor in the American Studies department at UB, speaks of lacrosse, it becomes clear that to the Iroquois lacrosse is much more than a game to be played . "Lacrosse is our leg"9'. It is a part of our cui· ture. Every summer stnce time tmmemorial our people have played lacrosse," Lyons said. ·Lyons, chairman of thC Nationals, speaks on .the system that hu made the sport somewhat �inaccessible to the peol'le who love it the most. "Tbis team (the NatiOnals) is so important because it's a place where we can prove ourselves without all those rules being ja.nuned at us." Lyons continues, ~When they say you've got to be an American college boy to be an AUAmerican at lacr~. that's a subtle way of controllin~ and directing us." Lyons should know. He llimself was an All-American goalie at Syracuse University. · It was Lyons, who in 1983, with the help of Rick Hill, an instructor in the same department at UB, and Wes Patterson, a Tuscarora lacrosse stick maker, created the Iroquois Nationals. For the Iroquois people, lacrosse is something they can rAlly bellind, and it is something that can give them hope for the future. ~It is a tremendous unifying force. Everyone on the reservation is behind the team," Lyons stated. Lyons feels lacrosse can raise the level of public coDS<;iousness of the Iroquois as a people. But, most importantly, he hopes lacrosse can teach lrbquois youngsters bow to lead a good life. ~Lacrosse is life. It is a stick and a ball, but most importantly, an athlete competing and doing the best be can do. Tlie bnly losers are the ones who llllow inside that they dido l give it everything they bad." Lyons notes "The problems of drugs bas not spared the yo~ng Indians. Lacrpsse could help these youths go back to our traditions of clean living .~ It is the importance of lacrosse to the Iroquois that ba cnmled the Nationals to overcome many obstacles in fielding a team that can be competitive with other world lacrosse. powers. They are UDable to practice as often as other national teams because the Iroquois athletes are scattered, aod getting them together for a weeknight pract.ice is difficuJt. Some are ironworkers who often have ·to drive from a construction site in New York City. And, invariably, there is the problem of funds. ~Money bas always been a problem. We've managed by almost superhuman efforts to gather funds from a variety of sources, but always priv:ate soun:cs,"·Lyons said. t w~ controversy o~er money that originally led to the Iroquois being banned from the ICanadian cba1npionships, which they had been winning, and soon afterward from all international competititon. They were judged, in 1880, to be professionals because they allegedly took money to play. The allegations were misleading. Any money accepted by the IroquoiS was used to pay for trips to tournaments, something which was unnecessary for the wealthy white teams. ot Lyons feels the games in Buffalo have assured a revival of the Iroquois as international competitors. The Australians have promised the Iroquois a in the in.temational Lacrosse Fed- tterth eration Tournament in 1990. The tournament, which is held every four years, will be hosted by the Australians. From now until then, Lyons and the Iroquois plan to keep working, entering as many toumamen.ts as they can in order to be as sharp as possible for the big one in 1990. Lyons feels it is important for the Iroquois to continue to promote the sport itself. "The Federation does not understand that lacrosse is an integral part of our communities; that we livw:, breathe, and die with lacrosse in the Six Nations. They don_\ understand so we're educa1ing them and we!re promoting the game. We believe the game should be played in the world Olympics and in many foreign countries. It's our game, it"s our gift to humanity; and we should promote iL"' Lacrosse's popularity is on the rise; last May's . National Collegiate Athletic Association cb~ pionship game drew a crowd of 35,000 and in addition to the traditional lacrosse powerhouses like Wales, Scotland, England, Canada, Australia "and the United States, Czechoslovakia, Japan. and France have shown increased interest. Rick Hill cited these facts and added that, "I believe lacrosse will be the next major sport." One thing is certain; no matter what the futu~ has in store for lacrosse, the sport will alwa ; ~ hold a magical grasp on the Iroquoi s. Lyons say> it best: ..If everyone else laid down their sticks· and forgot about~sse, we would continue ro play." 0 �July 31, 11186 Sum- No.3 tenure· denial Sharon Leder of Women's Studies By RITA A. HILGENDOAFF haron Leder is an assistant S professor in Women's .Studi.es; she is alsq_ grad uate studies director for the program. She has a future book to her credit and has been nominated for the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, yet she has been· denied tenure and is curre ntly undergoin g a seve nth-ye ar review. " I believe that I am being denied tenure because of lack of knowledge about Women's Studies as a scholarl y field." said Leder. Leder also is questionin~ the proce~s for reco nsiderati on. Currently her own case has stopped at the provost's office, which she claims is contrary to normal procedure for a seventh-year review. She also claims that criteria for tenure are being .. applied more rigidly'' in her case than in others. Originally, Leder was denied te nure during her siXth-year review ..due to a lack of scholarly publications," by a vote by the President's Review Board of two in favor of tenu re. four against, and two abstentions. The a bstentions, Leder claims, .. were because two members of the PRB felt that they didn't have enough knowledge about Women's Studies as a scholarly field ." According to Leder, .Provost William R. Greiner counted those abstentions as negative votes. and therefore L~der did not receive promotion or tenure. "If the Provost had . looked at the abstentions positively, he would have had a strong case for granting tenure," said Leder. As a result, she has ftled a grievance with her union about th at· actio n. According to Qennis Malone, professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departmen\ and fo rmer chair of the Faculty Senate .... there are no set rules in Robert's Rules of Order for counting abstentions." S oon after that decision was passed, Leder received a contract with Greenwood Press for the book Lan- guage of Exclusion:· The Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Christina Rosselli, which made her eligible for reconsideration. She Is going through the process with the support of her students, her dean, and cha1r. The PRB has again denied tenure, this time because " the PRB feels ~hat Greenwood Press is not scholarly enough," said Leder. The Provost has decided not to forwa rd her case to UB President Steven B. Sample, who would have the authority to ovenurn the decision. Outside these. channels, . Leder js appealing her case to the president via letters from studen ts, faculty, and herself. Michael Frisch, chai r of the American Studies Depanment, has written a letter to prove that Gree nwo od Press is scholarly and credible. He states: .. Greenwood is a respected press, though not a major one. across the full range of publishing. It is, however, a . very major press in our field of Ameri- can Studies, a fact that the P RB could not be expected to have known. It was one of the ftnt to publish a monosraph series focused o n in te rd isci p linary American Studies, at a time . when major university presses rarely recognized such work." Leder..feels that there bas been "more stringent" criteria applied to her case. "There have been professors who have been granted tenure with much fewer publit;ations than I have," she said. "In a new field , there are ways of proving scholarly ability other than publications. For instance, building a field professionally, building a field on campus, and making innovations in currtculum development. l n my case I have demonstrated outstanding abilities in those areas and have been punished." Judith E. Albino, assoeiate provost, maintains that "While there are general criteria that apply to all cases, naturally there. are differ~oces in the achievements considered in each . case. We need to ev&!uate their work in their disciplines, as well as scholarship according to the more general standards." · Aside from q"liestioning the PRB's lack of knowledge Of her field and the criteria they used in judging it, Leder also questions the provosCs ability to stop a reconsideratton. She asked the . president in a recent leiter: " Does the provost have the right to suspend a seventh-year review before the dossier reaches yoll for a final recommendation?" A l bino said there are no set procedures for reco nsiderations. u Reco nsid e ra t io n is an exc~ p tional process. It's rare enough t~ say that there is no one way procedurally to handle thcin. They are very ind ividual." She added "reconsideration can be stopped at any point in the process. In this case, it stopped with the provost." • Leder said she disagrees that there is no proced ure 1for reconsi deration. "Th.ere is .a l<ll!Jihistory on this campus for a seventh-ye.a r rC:view. This is the fint tiine, to my k.nowledge, that it has stopped at the provost's office. Why· is this procedure stopped in the case of a Women's Studies professor'! I know the provost will maintain that it's up to him to recommend reconsideration, but by stopping it at his level, he's stopping it midstream. " Aceordiog to Albino, sli~ recalls there have been no more than three· applications for reconsideration in' the' past three years. In one particular case, the process stopped with the dean of that penon's faculty. tkTh~~~~n~n om::.m~~~or~~r~ appeal. The case has been advanced to the Chancellor's "R:eview Board . If tenure is denied at this level, Leder's contract will ellp~ on August 31. " We believe that it's important that any candidate for promotion receive a f~nd fair review and that reconsideration at any level is one evidence th at this university is willing to do that," commented Albino. 0 Faculty-industry projects attract $181,000 in grants By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he receipt of five grants total· T ing S 181,000 "speaks to the growing relationship between the University facult y and local industry," according to Edward M . Zablocki, coordinator of external and industrial relations in the Office of the Vice President for Sponsored Programs. U 8 researchers received the grants from the New York State Science and Technology Foundation's Research and Development Grants Program. A New York State business with a commercial interest in the research must apply as co-sponsor. · The company has to contribute some sort of in-kind services such as materials or time. "This is not a freebie on the compaoy's part," Zabloeki pointed out. "But we still got five companies that were willing to participate because 'the research has value to them . There's some application to their product."' The five businesses, all local companies. range from well-established corporate giants to start-up companies, he said. The grants are: • $43,000 to Vladimir Hlavacek, .. professor of chemical engineering at UB. The sponsor ~ompany is Advanced Refractory Technolog1es, which manufactures ultrafine ceramic powders. The project is called "Synthesis of Nitride, Boronitride and Carbonitride Materials by Filtration Combustion Technology." Hlavacek's .. filtration combustion•• method can be used to create superhard ceramics faster and more efficiently, resulting in a purer product. • $40.000 to Ed mund A.

The sponsor company is ONY, Inc., located in UB's business .. incubator" which is managed by the Western New York Technology Development Corp. (TDC). The project is called "Clinical Testing of Extracted Cow Lung Lipid: An Effective 'Prevention for Newborn Hyaline Membrane Disease." The research will attempt to determine whether there are any toxic effects from a drug used to prevent hyaline membrane disease. The disease results in respiratory failure in premature infants. The drug, an extract from cows' lungs, replaces the lung surfactant which is mtssiog from the lining of the premature infants' lungs. The toxicity testing is needed to fulftll FDA requirements. • $36,000 to Harry K. . Slocum, assistant . professor of pharmacology with the Roswell Park Division of the UB Graduate School: The sponsor company is Buffalo Biotech. The project title is "Feature Specific Assessment of Cellular Proliferation for Prediction of Chemotherapeutic Responsiveness of Human Tumors." The ultimate goal of the resarch is to produce a test that will identify which chemotherapy agents are most likely to work for an individual patient before those drugs are administered . • $34,000 to A. Scott Weber, assistant professor of civil engineering at UB. The sponsor company is Occidental Chemical Corp. The project is called "Enhanced Biodegradation of Chlorinated Organics." The purpose of the research· is to assess whether bacterial strairis that were isolated at Occidental Chemical's Hyde Park Landfill can be used as supplemental cultures lO break down chlorinated organisms at hazardous waste sites. • $28,000 to W.A.

As a resultuf that pro· ject, the Falconer plant was able to reduce its repair aod scrap rate by 25 per cent. . Scheduled to start up in July, the manufacturing cell involves a major chimge in the layout of the plant. UB researchers are assisting the company in finding the best way to relocate the machinery for maximum productivity. "This is a company-wide kind of productivity improvement . " Kleiner said . "In an assembly line, the ·com pany would have different machines in a line. geared toward producing large quantities of parts: But in a manufacturing cell. the company will have the nexibility to produce small quantities of r.ans as efficiently as large quantities. •• Sharpe also said that "a vital part of the cell's s u ~s is training." 8 engineers are assisting '"the co any in training machine aperato to use more than qne machine to · ovide the flexibility needed to a mmodate varying demands for ball arings. The UB productivity team is assisting com pany management with developing instructions and guides for each machine in an attempt to improve the efficiency, even wi th quick changeov,trs. "The Universi ty at Buffalo research team, by standardizing our practices and procedures and then workang with us on training. is provi ding the assista nce we need to make certain the cell meets our g·oals. ··said S harpe. Western New York Economic Corporation (WNYT heDevelopment EDC) identified TRW as one of 35 mature industries in the area that need help in order to compete against foreign companies. The progr~m at tqe Jamestown plant began. tn November 1985 jlDder ~ twoyear grant from various sources. Coor-· dinated through Jamestown Community College, the grant to UB is $200,000 and is funded by WNYEDC, the City of Jamestown, aod tbe Chautauqua County Industrial Delelopment .Agency. Bearings manufacturing is a mature industry. Basic techniq ues were developed in the late 19th century for bicycle manufacture and have been refined over the years without major revolu• tions in technology. TRW Bearings has a stable, highly skilled workforce and a Adrian ~del,.n (left), TR W'a ,.,_ger of tralnlllfl, "with UB grad atudent Tim . Wllfle. • good knowledge of customer requir~ ments. \ Like many U.S. companies, T RW has felt a prqfit squeeze from foreign competition, which is producing many qualuy products at reasonable prices. The Falconer plant produces very high quality beanngs for the aircraft engi ne industry. The Jamestown plant produces low-volume lines of bel~Dirgs, mosliy for trucks, and the first stages of bearings for the Falconer plant. TRW recently transferred the highvo lume automotive bearing lines to other plants. "With the loss of the high volume line and increased foreign competition. both on price ·and quality, a classic profitability squeeze · is being felt." Drury said . "Lower profits lead to a reduct ion in indi rect expe nd itu res, which means less time and money available for the process improvements which would increase profitability." Other companies m Western New York with these problems have closed / plants or moved their operations out of the area, but the goal of this project is to maintain TR W"s eompetiti..,ness and thereby enable the company to remain in the community. TRW has p4rchased some new equipment, but a complete c hangeover to new machinery is out of the question. "The challenge is to increase profitability through increases in productivity without requiring large capital investment," Drury said. · As a result of a task analysis performed before approval of the grant, TRW had begun to investigate the manufacturing tell concept. With tbe grant, UB engineers are assisting In tbe implementation. · Using modern theories of er,onomics, UB researchers are analyzmg the way workers do certain tasks with t}le · idea of improving productivity. " What is being performed is the redesign of the human-machine system to reduce _the mismatch between operator and system," Drury said. Drury believes that ergonomics, engineering, and . management conc:epts could be applied to improving productivity of other industries in the area and throughout the State. "The current project is seen as a pilot project to use available mechanical technology with the latest advances in ergonomics to produce not just increased productivity m the Jamestown plant, but a methodology for revi ving existing industriC$ 0 State-wide." he said. Women in music Clara Schumann had to defy her father c By RITA A . HILGENDORFF l;ua Schumann was trying nothing less than to take step one on the long road to women's rights - namely freeing herself from the power grip of her own father." Erika Mi:tzger, a professor in the Mod- . ern Languages Department. made this observation during the women's music symposium held here July 11 -13. Maria Runfola, chair of UB's Music Department. also spoke to the audience of nationally renowned female musicians. Meuger's lecture was titled "Clara Schumann and her Escape From her Father" and dealt with tlie "typical problems of women artists in the 19th century.· She compared Clara's connict with her father to a typical conflict between any modern middle--class father and daughter. Clara defied her father. Friedrich Wieck, a well-known pian o teacher, by marrying a young student of his, Robert Schumann. Sch umann had · moved into the Wieck trome when Clara was II years old Despite the fact that Schumann v. ., ~ a fa vored pupil of Wieck's, Wieck greatly disapproved of the marriage between the two young lovers. .. One of his •. argumc 'i was that Schumann, in spite of a. inheritance, could not provide Clara with the lifestyle she was accustonu..d to,·· ~ aid Metzger. Clara and her father w ·re fairl y well off, Clara being a famou "' . .: oncert pianist and her father attra<,.ng hundreds of students to his stud io. Schumann, on ,!he other hand, was relatively poor and carne frorv. a poor family. He was u Erika Metzgw (lelf) lelia about the lltbula- of Clara Scllu,_,n (abo ..). Scllu,.nn ., eetfy b-.mrner--. also emotionally unstable, often suffering from severe bouts of depression. Wieck showed his disapproval by withholding money Clara had maqe performing, as well as publicly denying Schumann his permission to marry Clara. Eventually, the· Schumanns had to take Wieck to cou rt for both the money and marriage approva l. .In 19th century Germany wome n could not marry without a fath er's permission or without a do wry. Wi eck had made sure th at Clara bad neither. Metzger related that "Clara confeo,cd to her diary, "I was hardly able to sta nd the fact th at my father bad to be humiliated in such a way. This day has separated us forever.' .. Metzger described Clara at this time at her life as an inde pendc:nt individual who wanted to search for, the answers to her existence on her f)Wn ... . " 06 Although Schumann did not approve of his wife working, Clara eventually found it necessary, as Sc hurrt'ann needed to work on his compositions. "She wanted Robert 's life completely dedicated to art while she was taking over this, at the time, curious, double burden of breadwinner and mother," commented Metzger. Schumann was uncomfortable with the situation, but seemed . to deem it necessary and commented on it this way: ""Clara's devel opment of technique - for that she has no time. The fault is mine, yet there is nothing to be done about it. Clara realizes that I must make full use of my power... Well, so it must be when artists marry .... " Clara never complained about the added burden of raising childrt:n and making a Hving, ..she only experienced profound embarrassment every time she had to ask for money,· at!'ording to Metzger. Despite the difficulties in her marriage that were caused by Schumann's continual bouts of depression and worsening health, the care that her seven children needed, and her performance duties, Clara managed to fmd time to compose. Although her works are re spected , and are still ~erformed today, Metzger stated that they are often compared unfairly to those of her husband. .. I have seen critics who meant it as a compliment when they said that Clara's compositions are good enough that they can pass for those of Robert Schumann," said Meuger. "In my opinion, feminism might have to ehan$0 some of- our perceptions regardmg women's roles m music," she concluded. 0 �July31 , 11M s- ~Ifl 9 No. 3 UB athletes await 'THE Games' W By SHAWN CAREY bile tbe entire Univcnity community eqmy awaits the cxcitemcat of tbe 1986 Empire State Gamea, a number of UB atudenta .&rc expreuin& their own brand of cntblllium u compctiton. Four of tbcac atudcnta bopina to aJwe in !h• Empire State Games' a~t include Mary Jo Bojanowski, a majoring in English; Dave HickSon, a senio_r majoring in finance/ marlcctiUJ; Steven Sawin, ~ junior majoring ·tn psychology; and Martin Mahoney, a graduate student in epidemiology at the UB program at Roswell Park I nstitute. -.or t first sight. weightlifti ng is the last spon one would expect Mary J o A Bojanowski to be competing in." At five-feet five-inches and 107 po unds, Bqjanowski looks more li.ke a runner or a swimmer. The truth is she was both at one time or another. But now at 26, she has turned her attention to wcightlifting. Although Bojanowski has been lifting weights off and on for a few years. she began serioUs training in January. The payoff came on June 2. when she qualified for the Games in the women's 52 kg. Open Division. • As to how she thinks she11 do at the Games. Mary Jo is noncommital. but her coach" Wayne Hunter. is co nfident of Bojanowski's chances . .. She11 take either a gold or si lver," predicted Hunter, adding that .. in two years. if she keeps training. she11 be in the top five in the country... Bojanowski admils tha t winn ing the gold this year would be ··a lot of incentive to continue weightlifting ... For now, though, she is just happy to get a chance to participate . .. Just to be a part of it is exciting" she said . Bojanowski. a native of Buffalo, finds an added meaning in participating in her hometown. "Qf course the fact that ' the Games are in Buffalo means a lot to me," she said, pointing to her ''We're Talking Proud" T-shin. ave Hickson. another Buffalonian. is better able to appreciate how lucky he is to compete before a hometown crowd because of a disappointment at last year's Games, which were · also held in Western New York. Hickso n, a 1985 All-American and a big gun for the UB wrestling team for the past three years, had, prior to last yea r, competed in five Em pire: State Games. all of which were ~eld in Syracuse. During the qualifiers last year, Hickson was in Mexico City co mpeting in th e Augustine Vaiseno Internatio nal · To urnament where he took home two gold medals. Once at home he found out that his dreams of winni ng at the Em pire State Games in Buffalo would be delayed another year. " I had comP< ted in all the o1her Games in Syracuse and then they finally co me to Buffa lo and I co uldn~ co mpete because of a technica lity. We tri ed to petition it , bu1 the best they co uld do was allow me to be an official. It was pretty disa ppoi nting." Hickso n is back with added incentive this yejlr and says he's going to savor the opportunity. For one thing, he doesn't have to worry about making weight as he has had to in the past. " I'm going to go 163-pounds instead of 149. Football season starts about a week after the Games and I'd like to go in as heavy as I can. Right now I'm abo ~t 158 pounds and I hope to put on about another five before the Games." Hickson, who has won two golds and a bronze at the Games . a Iready. will wrestle both freestyle and GrecoRoman this year. In freestyle,. he should be able to parlay his speed and technique into a medal with a solid chance for a gold; in Greco-Roman, where there is more emphasis on upper-body atrc~ tbe road wiU be toupcr. While Hicbon is fit and musc:ular, be will be loin& apinat niiUlrally bca~ opponcnta. , · "'Jbcre are guya wbo are sucking weight down from 190 pounds.

II -:-- DAVE HICKSON ,;Just to be_part S teven Sawin enrolled at U 8 for the fall after havi ng ' t ransfe rred frorn Canisius, where, at last year's S tate diving' championsh"ip, he took first in the one-meter and third in the three-meter. Sawin eagerly anticipates his first Empire State Games. "'I've never been of it is exciting. II D to the Games before a nd it's especially thrill ing to co mpete in your hometown." Wit h a busy work sched ule, Sawin said he regrets not havi ng a lot of time to practice his diving. "I had my best year last year at Cani· sius, but it takes only a few days off to lose your tim ing and in diving, timing is everything." With very little tiJll e to practice, Sawin still managed to qualify in both th e one- and three-meter events. For th e Games, he hopes to be much sharper and should be in th e running for a medal. Sawin is quick to give the Western team· a strong vote of confidence: "'The Western team is going to clean up." "It's time for a medal in water polo ... _ II - MARTIN MAHONEY or Martin Mahoney, th e last five years have seen many accomplishments, but winning a medal in Water Polo at the Empire State Games is not one of them. This year could change that. .. For the first time in five years every· one on the [Western] team has played water polo before, in addition l? being F strong swimmers. This could make a big difference for us this year," he said . Mahoney, who holds a ·master's degree in natural sciences and is work ing toward his doctorate in epidemiol- ogy, has a strong swimming background. He com.peted as a swimmer at the Games in 1979. Mahoney is encouraged by an increase in attention to water polo, si nce the U.S. men's team 's victory at the 1984 Olympics. Enjoyment of the game is what's kept him playing despite five years of Games competition where the Western team has .. pretty much been battli ng for the basement in 1he standings." But Mahoney, originally from Rochester, attended McQuaid J esuit High School, an institution with a grand tradition of· wi.nning, and he readily admits, "I hate to lose." Mahoney would be very pleased if :~~c ~":~~ i.,a'f{ur/'.':~ b~~a~oco~ 0 what the Games are doing for Buffalo and UB.

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

Im ages of loved p nes ;uc sup posed to be used to increase auraction. He said that voodoo , which uses these practices, is still prevalent in Hait i and other pans of the world. "Of course, there i no evidence that homeopathic magic works . " Kurtz aid . "S urely there is no und erlying causal relationship between the spell a nd inca ntations of the sorcerer and what they perfo r m at the targeted individual." He said that there may be some psychological effect on the targeted individual. if the person believes m. the magic incantations. The person m ay believe so strongly in the magic that the desired result actually happens. "A sisistsmilartoday form or magic t hat peris faith healing, .. Kurtz said. As chairman of the Commiuee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. he has conducted investigations of the claims of faith healers. including televis ion evangelists. Kuru said that it is a popular belief that diseases can be cured by . faith and prayer. There is a difference between phySt- ca l illnesses and psychosomatic illnesses. " It is the case that in rnany cases pco, pie with psychosomat ic ill nesses are indeed he lped by intense prayer sessions. I'm -not disputing that point." Kurtz said. Referring to the two studies of faith healing done in England and the United S tates. Kurtz said. "They cou ld find no clear evidence that an overt . organic. physiologic illness had been cured by faith healing ... He added that his committee has confirmed that fact. urt1 said that belief in the paranormal has grown in the last 20 o r 30 years. "A>tro logy is one of the oldest systems o f belief in the world .

A study last year showed that up to 55 per ce nt of teenagers in the U.S. believed in astrology. An ea rlie r study showed th a t 25 per ce nt of adults believed in astrology. he said . . Kurt£ said that these studies indicate that astrology'may be ··one of the most popular syste.ms of magical su persti tion that persists in our culture." One sc ienti st put an advertise ment in a scien tific journ a l for people who would have th eir ho roscope!<. cast and tell him if those horosco pes were accurate. Kurtz said that most of th e people who responded said that the horoscopes were very accurate. The trouble was·. the horoscopes were all the same arid happened to be the horosco pe for a bluebcard murderer! Kurtz a lso pointed out that a recent Gallup poll showed that 56 per cent of the population believes that unidenti fied n Ying objects have an extraterrestrial origin. However. the re is no clear evidence that any UFOs actually came from another planet. .. As I view it, there see ms to be a powerful "transcendental temptation' a te ndency in la rge sectors of people to look for and to believe in and to defin e hidden , mys te rious causes. relationships and associations." Kurt z said. "This is a kind of magical thinking. a kind of magic where yo u arc surprised at the magician. but yo u don't know how he did it.

Sponsored by U B's Ernest Witebsky Center for ImmUnology, the convocati o n is held alternate years and focuses upon different aspects of immunology. Past themes have included antibodies , regulations of the imm u ne response , human blood groups. immuno pathology. and cellular interactions in the immune response.

Other research to be presented includes reports on anti-i d iotype vaccines in parasitic diseases, development of a h~man malaria vacci ne, and mycobacterial antigens and vaccines. A highlight of the convocation is the Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecture, which will be presented by the noted immunologist Jonathan W. Uhr. professor and chairman of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dalllls. His address will be ''lmmunotoxins: New Pharmacologic Agen ts for the Treatment of Cancer and Immune Dysfunction." According to James F . Mohn , M.D. , ~ director of the Ernest Witebsky Center at UB, the convocation will be the first comprehensive, international program to focus upon vaccine~ . " In the 190 years si nce Edward Jenner introduced the concept of preventing infectious diseases by immunization with the attenuated or inactivated agent of those diseases, many illnesses have been prevented· by vaccination," Mohn said . While polio, typhoid fever, and a host of other life-threatening illnesses have been reduced in most parts of the world by immunizing against them, there are still others for which vaccines remain to be deve loped . 0 �VIeyyPoints An education paradox: despite some gains in 'male' fields, women are increasingly over-represented in 'female ' areas. By LOIS WEIS ince the 1960s pressure h3s been put on colleges and uni~ ~ersities to opep up opportunities to women. As a result. proportionately more women haVe received degrees in traditionaUy ma le fields. Yet, paraddxically, proport ionately more women have received degrees in traditionally female fields as well. Many more women enter institutions of higher education and g radua te from thtse institutio ns than CVc.r....b.clore. In 1981 , 50 per cent of bachelor's degrees and 51 per cen t of master's degrees were awarded to wome n. Over I0.000 doctorates were co nferre" upon wo men· as compared to 5.273 ten yea rs earlier. - women arc making Progress. An analysis of data reveals. however. that women remain severely underreprese nted in cenain traditionally male areas and that women are even more overrepresented in traditionally female areas than they were ten years ago. Generally spea king. th e situati o n at (he bachelo r's leve l ha s impr oved for " o men. b ne half o f all deg ree s grant ed 1n th e co unt ry arc nO\\ grant ed to "o men. an d th ere· wa.-. so mewh at less g.e nde r !<.egrcga tion by fie ld in 198 1 than tlh.:rc \l. tt!~lll 197 1.

Computer / info rmati o n sciences g ra nt 65 per cent to men: engineering. 89 per cent: ph ysical sciences. 74 per ce nt ; and agriculture. 69 per cent. Conversely, education in 1981 granted 76 per cent of its degrees to women: foreign languages, 76 per cent ; health pr.ofessio ns. 84 per cent; home economics. 94 per cent; and library science, 86 per cent. Thus we have an interesting pattern at the bachelor'~ level. Most maledominated a reel$ "ha:ve become less so · . but female domin ated areas ha9'e become slightly more so. Even though women have made so me progress in obtai ning degrees in male-dominated a reas, patterns of gender seg regat ion were still very clea r in 1981. Since segregation within higher educati o n tran~lates into tabor market seg regation and, ultim ately. into depressed wages ·for women. the unev~n distribution of women from field-to-field remains a matter for concern. These same trends are apparent at the master's level. Predomin cintly male areas tend to be less so, and predominantly female areas tend to be more so. Women are venturing into nontraditional fi elds at the same time they are ·' expanding their hold in traditional fields. At the master's level , 75 per cent of all degrees in agriculture are granted to men; 67 per ce-nt in architecture to me n; 72 per cent in business management; 73 per cent in computer/ information sciences; 91 per cent in enginee ring: 67 per cent in math ematics (this remains virtually unchanged from 1971); 78 per cent in physical sciences: and 65 per cent in theo logy. Although women received a highe r proportion of master's degrees in nontraditional fields in 1981 than 1971, they made fewer gains at the mast~r 's than at the bachelo r's level. At the same time, women have further entrenched themselves in traditional areas ·such as education and hea lth-related professions, n 1971-72, women earned 16 per cent of doctor's degrees: in 198 1-82they earned 32 per cent of such degrees. The number of female doctorates doubled during the ten-year period. The number of male doctorates went dow n. Again: in which areas did _women receive degrees'! In nontraditional fields, women obtained a higher proportion of doctorates in 198 1-82 than in 197 1-72. In agriculture. 14 per cent of 198 1 degreeS were conferred upo~men as co mpared with 3 per cent tc~s earlie r :.1 T we nt y-se ven per ce nt were earned by wo men in architecture in 1 9 ~ I as co mpared with 14 per cent in 1971. Eighteen per cent went to women in business management in 198 1. compared wit)! 2 per ce nt in 1971 . Cle arl y. wo men I "In such maledominated fields as engineering and physics, late starts are difficult; one is unlikely to prowse around in them." obtai ned a higher proportion of s uch degrees in the ea rly 1980s than in the early 1970s. The proportion of doctorates received by women in nontraditional areas is, fdr the most part. lower than that obtliined at the bachelor's or master's level. In comp uter and information sciences. 8 per cent of doctorates in 1981 we re granted to women . Twent yseven per cent and 35 per cent of mas ter's and bachelor's degrees, respectively, were granted to woinen during this same year. There arc s till seve ra l areas which exhibit extreme di sparit y by gen~er at the docto ral leve l. Onl y 8 per cent of all doctor's deg rees in co mputer and information sciences were granted to women in 198 1: 5 per ce nt in engineering; 9 per ce nt in Jaw: 14 per cent in mathematics: 14 per ce nt in physical sciences: and 8 pe r ce nt in theol ogy. This is not tp say th a t there has been no progress for wo men si nce 1971 , but rather to point o ut that ce rtain field s a re still heavil y do min ated by men. ~n traditionally female areas (ccfuca. tion , foreign languages. health related professions. horne economics, library science women once again .o btained a higher pro po rt io n of degrees than at a n earlier point in time. In eduCatio n. 49 per cent of all doctora tes were granted to women in 1981 as compared with 24 per cent in 1971. Eightee n per cent · of doctor's degrees in healt h-related pro·fessions~e ea rned by wo men in 1971 as compared wi th 46 pe r ce nt in 1981. Fony-four per cent were obtained by women in library science in 1971 as compared with 63 per cent in 1981. This is potentially an important trend in terms of the labo r market. Women appear to be ex panding their position in traditi onall y female fields. The higher proportion o f ad v-.nced degrees . earned by wo men may mean that mo re women arc o n thei r way to o btaining leading pos itio n!-. in th e!-.c areas positi o ns fo rme rl y held d i!-.pto po rti o natel y by men. In educati o n. for exa mple. thC schoo l system pl<.~ ces ma les in pos itions of auth o rit y and wo men in subo rdinat e role . In the earl y 1970,. out of 14,379 distri ct s up e rint e nd e nt ~. 90 were wo men. Less th a n 16 per ce nt o f all principab o r assistant principa ls arc women despit e th e fact that cl o~ c to 6g per cent of teachers are wo men. The high proportio n of wo men o btaining degrees in these traditionally femaledominated areas docs no t necessarily mean that women will be hired in positions of authorit y (and indeed , if they are hired, it ma y mean a decl ine in salaries). but it does mean that women will at least have irlcreased oppo rtunity to obtain· such positions. W omen have made strides in obtai ning professional degrees. Fifteen per cent of dentistry degrees were obtained by women in 1981, as compa red with I per cent in 1971. 'Thirty-three per cent of law degrees were obtained by women in 1981 , as compa red with 7 per cent in 1971. Parity is not yet achieved . however. Seventy-five per cent of medical degrees were conferreH upon men in 1981. Generally speaking. there is less parity in first professional dttgrees gra nted than at any .othcr point in the system . Twenty-eight per cent of first professional degrees were conferred upon women in 1981. This co mpa res with 32 per ce nt o f doct o r's, 51 per cent or master's. and 50 per ce nt of bachelor's. . While wo men have mad e gains in ce rt a in are a~ of high er education, much mo re needs to be do ne . Th ere are still are as o f ex treme male do minance, and oppo rtunities mu st be opened for wo men. In potenti ally lucrati ve areas such as engmeering, architecture. compute r/ information .. scicnccs. agriculture, business management, biological sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics. acti ve steps mu st be taken to recruit a nd to maintain female enrollment. A j ump from I per cent to II per cent in bachelo r's degrees conferred upon women in engineering represents progress, but 89 per cent of all undergrad- uate degrees in engineering are still obtained by men. The sa me holds true for other areas of traditional male dominance in higher education . Parity ha.' yet to be achieved . · While many of these programs rfsult from the anirudes of parents and coun ~ elors at the precollege: level. cenain steps could be taken at the postsecondary level to mitigate these effectS. Those male-dominated fields in which there ha~ been .relatively little o r no g rowth in the number of wo men s t u~ dent s at any degree level (particularl y at th e upper degree level) see m to share a ce rta in ch aracte risti c. In order to become a n engineer. physiciM . o r co mputer scientist. o ne must virtually arri ve on campus ex pecting to majo r in that field . This is true because the curriculum is tightl y organized , making late starts difficult. It is also true because o ne is unlikely to .. browse" in J?hY ics o r engineering courses and dec1dc upon the field as a major as one might in o th er disciplines. Many computer science courses are essentially closed to nonmajors because of overcrowding. Other such areas do not, for a variety of reasons. allow non-majors to take courses. Similarly, at the gradu ate level, women have fared better in M.B.A. and law programs, where students can ofte n en roll with vinually any undergraduate major. Womeit have had greater difficulty in such predominantly male fields as the physical sciences, cOm puter sciences, or engineering, where one usually cannot enroll witho ut a strong undergraduate background in the field . The apparent premium on early choice: in male-dominated fields has two policy implications. At the high school level. bette r counseling is needed . Mo re awareness on the pan of te3chers, stu~ dent s, counselors, an·d parents is esse ntial. In higher education, the opport unity to browse in traditionall y male fields mus/ be provided to potential maJors. and women mu st be e ncouraged to take it. An outreach effort invo lving facult y and peer co un seling sho uld be made by th e ph ysica l scie nces a nd engineering departments. A little ext ra attetiti o n might o pe n up new· opportuni.ties to women in fi elds still. heavily dominated by men.

UB. Alexa nder Vilenkin, Ph.D ., a professor of phys ics at Tufts University (Medford . Mass.), said that the so urce of gravity may be a ..cosmic stri ng" a one-dimensio n•[ mass of matter left over from the ongtn of the umverse. Vilenkin is one of a group of scie ntists who originated the theory of cosmic strings as prim6rdial matter that extend s in one dimensio n - length without end . Physicists began discussing the mysterious gravity so urce afte r astronomers from Princet on Universi ty discovered a twin image of a si ngle quasar in which the two images are 20 times farther apart th an a ny other known twin. Tl)e twin images are believed to be caused by bending of light that occurs when light encounters a gravity force. A sin· could thus cause the twinning effect. ""A number of tests would have t o be made before it is shown that it is a string," Vilenkin commentrd. " One test would be to look for other double images nearby. Another would be to look at the background rad iation." · Other explanations for the twinning effect include black holes - remnants of stars that have burned out and collapsed - and a group o f galaxies that cannot be see n between our solar systern and the quasar. Vilenkin SJ?Oke to the American Physical Soc1ety at its mee ting in Washington about his theory concerning the discovery. as did many other scientists. He also appeared on CBS news and was quoted in the New York Times on May 6.

B. erore th.at, she says, "the rriost famous black woman I knew was Miss Candy Quick who danced in the carnival when it came to town. I thought that it wou ld be a great · way [or me to get out of the Delta. so I begged Candy Quick to teach me how to dance. I wanted to hear the men chant my name the way they did for her."' After persistent coax.ing. tfolland convinced the dancer to teach her the tricks of the trade, eventually learning to blow smoke rings ou t of her vagi na better than Miss Ca nd y Quick. "The men were ycllmg 'P hcl ia. ·~he- . lia! and I just kept blowing smoke rings until I started to look like a chimney." Holland continued with anecdotes of her mother, the "Second Doctor Lady."

" I knew she was goin ', " she said, "she always did with an RC Cola unde r one arm and her medical bag under another." S he also told the story of " the yea r I ' became a woman."

"The bull threw me. I was a grown woman now and I didn\ want to play wi th Rebecca Ann no more," she sa1 d.

The ea rly druggists made their own pills and nostrums, something that the modern pharmacist rarely does. Reiss intend& to assemble the historical materials into new exhibits for the centennial, along with some early druggists' instruments from the School of Medicine's archives, Some of the materials may have formed historical exhi bits in Foster Hall in , the past. Among the materials is the first annual announcemen t of the newly- opened College of Pharmac)l, the second division of the University of Buffalo. This 1886 announcement introd uced the new sc hool, formed by five doctors from the medical school, and located in the medical building, wh ich then was located at Main and Virginia Streets. Perhaps in keeping with the emphasis on herbal medicines at the time, the first dean or pharmacy was a botanist , David S. Kellicoll, Ph.D. Eighteen students, including two women, were ' graduated from the new c~llege in 1888 with two-year Graduate in Pharmacy degrees. · ' As a result of the find at 2211 Main Street, the school now bas a complete &et of annual announcements from 1886 to the present. Reiss said the archives of the school were very incomplete until the "discovery." ccording to the 1886 announoement, tuition was $50 a year for 20 weeks of instruction, and for $100 in advance a "perpetual ticket" was available, entitling the student to as many classes as he or she wished to take at any time, Over the . past 100 years, . the A ,.,,. ~-pu~ are offered in four departments: ones at Buffajo General and Cllild· pharmacy. pharmaceuttcs, bio-- · ren 's hospitals.

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

The proposal also received affi rmation from the Faculty Senate and the Faculty Senate Executiv-e Committee. The concept of opening the d oor to an upgraded sports program, if that is the ultimate campus decision, "raced its first legislative test before the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, and received a unanimous recommendation May 7 that the issue be brought befo re the full Facult y Senate at its fin al meeting of the year. The reso lution, proposed by Dennis Malone, sup ported the principle of campus autonomy for academic and programmatic matters, and recommended that UB be give n the right to decide fo r itself whether to award athletic grants-in-aid. During discussion of the draft before ........., issH ,"lhe to . . . . . . . . .. CN• ·----. selves." them, members of the co mmittee questio ned the effects grants-in-aid co ul d t.ave on academic eligi bility, Title IX, funding, and staffing. UB President Stev<n B. Sample and James C. Hansen, chai rm an of the Intercollegiate Athletics Board, were present to answer quesjions. According to Hansen, UB's general standards for admission are above the ~AA mi~im u m which will go into effect th1s summer: even the standards of US's Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), which Js designed to aid economically and educationally disadva ntaged students, are above the minim um required. for NCAA eligibility. Funding over and above what is b~dgeted for competition in Division Ill will have to come from outside sources. Sample noted four so urces of funding for an upgraded athletic program: monies already supplied by the State budget, gate receipts. private support from the Unive rsity at Buffalo Found.ation Inc. and other business and private donors. and student fees. Hansen assured members of the committee that job lines and departmental fu nds would not be taken away from academic sources in order to provide new coaches. ''To me State suppon is not one of the needs of our athletic program. There will be · no diversion on this campus from the academic budget, .. the president assured committee members. "This is not a program where you add up the needs and then say ' let 's tak ~ the money out of the budget. ' If the S\)urces aren't there. then the program gets cut.., Coaching lines, too, Sample added, will be supported "only if the funds are there. State-supported coaching jobs will remain consistent with the number of lines that already exist in the Division 1H program. "The Chancellor (Ciifton ·R. Wharton Jr.) has made it very clear that he is in favor of having the (SUNY) Board of Trustees delegate th is change in status. with some stipulations," Sample told the executive committee. However, recent controversy in the local media over the campaign to upgrade UB's athletic program has left him in an uncomfortable position, he noted. "I've been caught out on a limb. I went through what I though t was a very lengthy consultation pfocess (to determine campus support of the plan) .... I've made recommendations in good faith." After a resolution calling for postponement of the issue was defeated, the Executive Committee unanimously recdinmended the measure for adoption by the Faculty Senate at its final meetiqg of the academic year, held May 14. assing by a margin of 46-1 with three abstentions, full Senate approval of the • measure did not come without the anticipated arguments. Supporters and opponents offered numerous comments, ques- P lions, and solutions during the debate. Malone ojlened discussion on whether the University should be llllowed to decide · for itself whether to provide athletic grants-in-aid. \O l think the issue is broader than that," be told senators and other campus representatives anending the meeting in Slee Hall. Of .course, the issue of upgrad ing .athletics concerns this issue. But it also concerns the ability To make that decision . for and by ourselves. " Malone note'd that academic standards would not be compromised by awarding athletic grants-in-aid becaUse "it is the (faculty) Senate that sets adm issions sfandards and requirements for graduation." It also is not an issue that the Faculty Senate will lose input on after the resolutio'n is voted on, Malone assured members. "This is not something that we will debate once. It is something we will debate several times. The Senate will continue to be involved with the i5sue of w$ther we should upgrade athletics." Geprge Hochfield, professor o E nglish and o ne of the most vocal op ponents on campus of upgraded ath letics, encou'f.iged members of the Senate to postpone acting on the meas ure, which he called "a motherhood resolution .., ·o7~:~~~n~ ~g.ainst autonomy?~ asked. 0 "The issue is not really autonomy; it is athletics." -GEORGE HOCHRELD "'11e fact •IS, . .• . athletic propams mean enormous publicity." -WIWAM GEORGE _ ' Instead , Hochfield offered what he called the "appropriate context .. of the issue. "This is a resolution that the president wants," he said. 'The point of all this is we come in at the tail end of a very professional and wide-reaching operation. A very well organized campaign has been underway for a very long ume to get the Board of Trustees to do what the president wants it to do." Hochfield added he is perturbed that at the .. last minute" the resolution was presented to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and to the Faculty Senate, "which pretends to us that the campus is going to decide this issue." But, he noted. the issue is not really autonomy. but athletics. "This has been a full scale campaign to achieve the changing of the athletic program on campus. Why now? Why has it turned up at the last meeting of the Senate? It seems to me the president just needs some sign of faculty support," Hochfield said. · ..There's an embarrassment in this. The president just needs something to show the Board of Trustees. This meeting comes just.. in the nick of time." . Hochfield encouraged the Faculty Senate nht to vote on the resolution. .. If you don't vote on the resolution, you lose nothing. There is no need to vote against it either. You don't have to vote yes or no. Just table it," Hochfield said . "Why make you rself useful?" illiam K. George Jr., professor of m~banicaJ and aerospace engineering, argued that an upgrad ed athletic program would bring UB to a level that would "conform with the standards and practices of other major universities... Upgrading UB's athle tic program .would not degrade the University's academic standards, George contended; in fact, it would benefit the institution by increasing UB's visibility, which in turn would help attract students, alumni support, and industrial dollars. . .. The fact is that universities with major athletic programs receive an enormous amount of free publicity, especially during the evening news on television and in the newspapers. One need only observe the attention focused by the media on Canisius during the basketball season, or count the sports pages in the newspaper devoted to college athletics," Geor$e said. UB has built academ •c programs th at are respected by the scholarl y community. Likewise. he added, we have gained the attention and respect of Western New Yor~ W and the State (or the role of the Universify is playing in local economic revival. Despite these successes, UB has noJ achieved the national name recogrution it deserves. "The question before us offers .us a choice," George said. "Shall we continue to stand firm in protest against society'• criteria, knowmg that we will d.o so 'in relative obscurity? Or will we capitulate to society's judgments so that we may be recognized as the great University we are?" Newton Garver, pr ofessor of philosophy, proposed that the resolution be divided mto two parts, the first dealing with campus aut onomy and the second pertaining to athletic grants-in-aid . " It is impossible to oppose autonomy no matter what one thinks of the other issue," he said, noting th at the Faculty had not . been asked yet to debate the issue of an upgraded athletics program. After a short dtseussion, the motton was defeated in a close vote. Edward J . Hovorka, associate professot of psychology, asked that the resofution be amended so that the clause reading "Such programs shall be subject to periodic . review by the Faculty Senate, incl ud ing any steps towar!l possi ble membership of NCAA Division I" be amended to read "'review by the Faculty Senate prior 10 adoption," and deleting the word "'periodic . ., The amendment was passed unanimously. Ronald Hauser, associate professor of German, requested that a final sentence be added to the resolution, stating clearly that the proposal does not necessarily $upport awardi ng grants-in-aid ~o student athletes. Edward S. Jenkins, associate professor of learning and instruction, recommended that the amendment also include the phrase .. or reject" in its language. The amendment was passed , and the resolution was adopted without furthe{ discussion. D UBplan due infa/1 Ftom Page 1 The program would pit U B athletes against Ivy League and ew England teams, he repeated . Admitting that the proposal to award · athletic grants-in-aid and upgrade UB's athletic program has met with some dissent , Sample noted that "with 26,000 studen ts, 3,000 faculty. and 6,000 staff, it's pretty hard to get every si ngle person to suppon any single issue ... However. the move to Division I athletics will rely on the suppo rt of the University, its alumni, and Western ew York. "Quite frankly, if there isn't a lot of support from alumni and the community. then no. we won't go ahead and run the program on a shoestring." Sample noted that UB students already have indicated their support of an upgraded athletic program by voting to increase mandatory fees to provide financial backing for the plan . Financial support from UB alumni and others throughout Western New York will be needed for the move to Division I, bul at this point pinning an exact figure on the upgradmg process is not possible, according to Hansen. "We don~ know of anyone in the last couple years who has taken a program from Division Ill to Division II to Division 1," Hansen said. "We have. no realistic figure (on what the move would cost)." Nor has the Intercollegiate Athletic Board specified yet which of UB's teams will be included in the plan. "'We have not made any determination of sports. Football and basketball get the most attention from people," Hansen noted. "We're looking at moving the women's programs as well." 0 �"'-S.1- ~1 3 s-No.1 Lobbying to vote in these communities and to have a say in the lrind of services that they receive there. Right now, studenu don't have a riatu to vote in the districts they help to ereate." After the briefing session, UB students visited Senator Dale Volker, hoP" ing to convince him to vote for the bill Students seek voting rights Volker expressed two major concerns about the legislation. First, students By RITA A. HILGENDORFF rarely vote in elections, be said, noting ., eo UB students traveled to Albany May 28 to take part in Student Suffrilge Day. Sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), the event's purpose was to give stu· dents across the State a chance to lobby their local representatives for the right to vote in the town ·where tlley attend coll~ge. The UB ~ontingent also was there to attend the Board of Trustees meeting, where Trustees were briefed on a 42-page study on the quality of student life. The report, which took three years to compile,' includd · studies from various SUNY campuses and lists both what students have found to be beneficial within the system and what they consider to be its pitfalls. Professor Thomas M. Barrington from the State University College at Potsdam and chairrnan of lhe task, force, said the ll':oup found "three main areas of dissattsfaction: fond, registration, and advisement." The task force the low percentage of college age regis• tered voters. Michael Rogers, SA director of academic Mfairs, 1poiotcd out that the reason may be "students have T aJso discovered that .. involvement of the siudents is important; students need to first registe·r to vote in their home- study are indicative of the problems they (ace every d ay, but the ad ministration is only interesteCI in the qualityo of student life because of system-wide drops in student retention and enrollment. Two million dollars has been aUocate.d by. the Boar.d_ of Trustees for the betterment of student life; although it has no(~n spent yet. The money will be used ~o\increase retention, counselin~ services. and security, and for mmority affairs, according to Barring- the opportunity for input. " The task force received student input ton. through its student members. However, fter the . Trustees meeting, the UB student delegation met with SASU Legislative Director Justin Hickson to discuss lobbying strategies for a bill that would allow students to vote in the town where they attend college. According to Paul Verdolino, president SASU President and Trustee Jane MpAievey said she felt the "task fqrce may have had gond in tentions, but st udents resigned because they felt that they wcren'i serving any purpose and the task force was a farce." McAievey added she i.sn' sure the repon really addresses the needs of all students. Although none of the UB students questioned the need for the report, they did echo McAievey's feelings . " Does he (Barrington) really think that the board cares?" asked one student who requested anonymity. Students at the meeting said they felt the points noted in the A of the undergraduate Student Associa- tion, New York and Alask:a are the only two states in the country that do not allow students to vote where they attend college . Verdolino called it "completely backwards that students aren' allowed to vote in the district that they are living in for nine to 10 months. People in college communiti- .,_lion - UB Volker. towns, file for an absentee ballot, and then mail it back to the county it originated from before a certain deadline. A lot _of student~ either can' be bothered with the added paper work or else they don' understand the procedure." Verdolino added that the absentee ballot wasn' created ·for people who 111111 S- IDT OM w~re living in another COIJlmunity nine months each year, but is intended for · people who are going to be out of town on election day. ties are concerned that students are going to ·come in for three or four years 11nd turn their Community upside d~n by voting the .' wrong way.' All students really Wilnt tb do is to be able · to participate in the ' community they are living ·in. They want to be able to vote on things that affect their university." · The discrepancy lies with current reUIII:ncy laws that allow each county to~cide whether students can register by setting its own definition of a place of residence. The bill now before legislators would define a place of residence to include a place one lives •~temporar­ ily." A ccording to Hickson, the real prob- lem is that students aren'- allowed to vote in the counties that collect their tax dollars. "Students are being taxed through the services that they purchase there. Students also create jobs for the community by becoming frequent customers of local businesses. Community people hold jobs inside the university." He added, "Students deserve the right · "It's ridiculo"' 't o expect a procedure that .was designed to lit that kind of need to be able to ftll the peeds of students. living away from hOme/' he said. Volker's second point was that students have a_tendency to register twice: once in their hometown and again in their college community. This, he said, is voter fraud. "Students want the privilege of voting in their college commun- ity, but are hesitant to give up the right to vote in their hometowns. Voter registration almost never checks to see if some.one has registered twice. With computers it is easier to keep track of things like that, but it is still a problem," said Volker. Verdnlino and Rogers .:Ssured the senator that students would be willing to make sure that procedures were followed correctly, addihg UB took special measures last election day to insure against voter fraud . Volker told the student constituency that he would vote for the bilL "I was never really against it anyway. I just want to make sure that there is .no more voter fraud ." 0 US still intends to reach for s~ars, NASA, rep asserts By SHAWN CAREY I f the lecture given here recently by Mlnot H. Parker, a representative of NASA's Godard Space Flight Center, is any indicator, the U.S. intends to continue "reaching for the stars."" · · . Parker,.s lecture~emonstration was part of this year's Science Exploration Day attended by mo•e th an 1,000 area high school st udents. The event, titled "Turn o n to Science," was held May 20 at Amherst. Sponsors were U B, the Niagara Frontier Science Supervisors Association, and the Science Teachers Association of New York-Western Division. Before discussing NASA's plans for the future, Parker touched brieOy on the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion by confirming popular speculation on the cause of the mishap. " It was too cold , and the seals on the rocket boosters did not work properly," he said. He also · urged listeners to follQw the developments of President Reagan's committee on the shuttle tragedy. · The co mmittee was due to present its report to the families of the ast ronauts on June 4, and to President Reagan on June 6. "Because of the Challenger incident," Parker continued, "NASA is in a redesign position . This position requires a set back of about 15 months." From that point on, be said,_ the shuttle project will take off agam stronger than ever, with four shuttle launches scheduled inside of one year - the first for July 7, 1987. Three of these launches will original~ from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the fourth from the Vandenburg Air Force Center in California. The West Coast launch differs from the other three in that it will travel north to south instead of east to west and will therefore travel directly over the Soviet Union . "Of course, that had nothing to do with why it was planned," Parker quipped. nother big date on NASA's calendar is still about two years away. This is the projected space A launch of a giant telescope. Other milestones which NASA has in store for the immediate future are send· ing an unmanned satellite into orbit around Jupiter in 1989, and putting a space statton in orbit by 1994, thus keeping up with the Soviet Union. Parker advised those students interested in a career with NASA to keep in mind "that what we're looking for are people with a 3.8 GPA and preferably a master's degree." He reported a ~~ number of openings for qualified tndividuals and . tndicated that the field of science stud ied and th e school attended for undergraduate study are of secondary importance. For those students staying close to home for college, Parker praised UB. "I've got my own rating system. There are many gond schools, and UB is definitely one of them." With strong visual aids in the forro of a dozen model simulations of NASA airc raft and a filmstrip depicting people livi ng in space, Parker provided strong rei nforcement for anyone considering a career as an astronaut. 0 �THE ATHI;E IICS QUESTION Trustees open door for sports upgrades People should be allowed to help in legitimate ways, Holloman .noted. "If this Univenity is going to survive, it needs boosters .. in the best sense of the term, he suggested . From Page 1 Trusfees Victor Marrero and Rosemary C. Salomi>ne on t he boosters issue; by T rustees Salomone and McAJevc:y in purSuing the non-discriminatJOO point; and ... by Trustee Edward ·V. Mete in inq uiring about provisions for the maintehance of academic ~ standards. The debat~ , in addition to culminating in approval of the basic measui-e, led to a series of associated actions. Trustee Chairman Donald M. Blinken called on Chancellor Wharton and his staff to develop a draft of a bill to be presented to the Legislature dealing with illegal and imprr1per acts by boosters; the Trustee.; voted to amend the authorization resolution to preclude use of endowmen t income for grants-in aid; Chairman Blinken called on the SUNY staff to "make every effort'' to secure for the Board's June rri'Ceting a campus-bycampus breakdown of current budgets for men 's and women's athletics; and the Chancellor asked that the minutes of the May meeting indicate that safeguard s concerning the upho lding of cu rrent admissions policies and academic c:Jigibility regu latio ns must be pan of any camp us' five-year plan to upgrade. hile the Chancellor's staff W will draft legislation impos-ing penalties fo r improper booster practices. Trustee Edgar A. Sandman was not in the least sa nguine concerning such a bill's prospects in the Legislature. Such a bill would also affect private institutions within the State which have had big time spans programs for a number of years (the Co rnells, Syracuses, and Colgates. etc.). These institutions and their supporters might be expected to oppose any measure which might encourage the State's interference in th ei r athletic affairs, he suggested. Trustees Marrero, Moyers and Silamone nonetheless championed some sort of legal sanctions, with one suggesting that major college coaches around th e nation would welcome such legislation in their states on the heels of recent, blatant incidences of under-thetable booster payments to at hletes. Both Mayers and Chancellor Wharton decried the present disparity in the severity of punishments impl>Sed under !IICAA r.ogulations. tThe athletes involved suffer most,'·wilh the institutions themselves aiSO Jfacing sanctions. The offending boosters are in the clear, however, they noted. Other Board members offeri ng opinions ques.tioned Whether the threat of legal penalties wou ld have. any real effect. Trustee Arnold B. Gardner championed rJOiying on camp us pr~sident s to impose sanctions and disciplines -that might be harsher than legislation. T rustee Mete agreed . Trustee John L.S. Holloman, however. thought the entire discussion took a too harsh view of ~boosters .. ass uming that .. they're all at odds with the University." .........·CWr Trwt- ............... "We expect tile ..... Presidewt ...... A s originally proposed, Item 4 of the resolution before the • Board stipulated that "grantsin-aid ... will be supported exclusively from non-tax funds, which may include endowmeni income and gate receipts.~ CpiJld this not lead to taking money · away from educational uses? Trustee Mete asked . Current restricted .endowment could not be diverted, Sanford· H. Levine: Univenity counsel offered. Nonrestricted endowment is no! very great in any case, Wharto,n said, and can be expended only with approval of the Trustees. That woul\1 give the Board the opportunity to rule on the question ·every year; the Chancellor said, . but "you may if you wish decide in advance never to permit the use of endowment .. for athletics. · Trustee Marrero thought such a prohibition was a good idea. On some future day, he ventured, a campus preside nt, having "subjected the Board to a carefully organized campaign," might well come in with a plea to use endowment. Buffalo-area Trustees. George L.

"Again, we should use the five-year period to look very closely at this. We should graduate more than IS per cent of our athletes. We should graduate all of them." · The hancellor proposed a statement in the minutes of the meeting - rather than some specific regulation - as the best way to emphasize the Trustees' concerns. Let it be indicated, he directed, that as part of the .review of any campus five-year plan, the campus president will report on his or her consu ltation w1th that unit's intercollegiate athletics board on the matter of a~ademi~ standards.

These so-called ..critical languages .. are the domain of the 20-year-old UB Center for Critical Languages, directed by Peter M . Boyd-Bowman, professor of Spanish language and litera ture. Throughout the academic year, about 250 students struggle with a group of languages that reads like a line-up for a U.N . translators convention: Danish, modern Greek, Haitian-Creole, Hindi 1 Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, and Turkish. As of September 1985, Japanese had the largest enrollment, followed by modern Greek, ~orean, a~d Hungarian. _', A native of Matsue, Japan, BoydBowman pioneered what has become a national program of supervised selfinstruction aiming for a high level of language proficiency. Langua11es taught, at least on a periOdic basis, mclude all of the major languages of Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East, in addition to the minor European languages already mentioned. Each student works for about 12 hours a wee~. using texts and taped course materials. He or she mus( then review current work 1wice a week in small grou_e tutorials conducted by highly qualified tutors, many of whom are recruited from among UB's more than 1,200 foreign students. All tutors, Boyd-Bowman emphasizes, "are educated native;.speakers." Grade determination is left up to the program's outside examiners, all qualified, professional language teachers, often from prestigious colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. They alone are responsible for determining student grades, Boyd-Bowman reports, and often do so through an extended • pre-arranged telephone examination. Evaluator!' test for a range of language I skills, including fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation. idiomatic expression , and elementary reading ability. Outside examiners include J . W . Smith (Dutch), holder of Columbia's Queen Wilhelmina Chair of Dutch; Steven Dandolos (modem Greek), UB graduate student in English and comparative literature and official Greek translator/ interpreter for area courts; Robert Austerbtz (Hungarian), professor of linguistics at Columbia; Sek-Yen Cho (Korean), wife of Professor KahKyung Cho of UB' s Department of Philosophy and the holder of a U B doctorate in speech communication; Yael Paley (modem Hebrew), Israeli wife of Sam11el Paley, head of UB's program in Judaic Studies, and Roger' Savory (Persian), frofessor of Persian at the University o Toronto. T he UB program began with instruction only in Jal1"nese and Chinese, ... and bas been growmg ever si nce, .. says Boyd-Bowman. Students past and present include professors preparing for extensive study abroad; spouses of native speakirs; missionaries; business people needing to learn another language; former exchange students or "Army brats,,. and researchers in the social sciences and humanities learning a critical language for reasons of scholarship. Critical Larlguages does not offer courses already offered in the Department of Modem Languages and Literatures, nor does it offer a major. "We are a service program,,. BoydBowman explains. The program "is chronically underfunded" and operates with only a tiny staff, says the director, who isn' paid for his efforts. Nor does be receive release time from his other duties. "The Center for Critical Languages," he states, .. is one of the most costefficient programs in SUNY." All students take the center's courses for academic credit; some .Ire able to pursue their study for "siX or seven consecutive jects. "This is one of the serious challenges to our· democracy.

The program lacks funds to track alumni progress, but there are: some known success stories. For instance, Danish eval uator Doris Sorensen, wife of Soren Sorensen. U B professor of dental surgery, has successfully prepared several UB students for competitive scholarships offered by the Danish government for advanced study in that country. Dabblers having no real aim are not encouraged to enroll, nor are students who are merely trying to fulfill a onesemester language requirement. ... We don't care what the motivatiOn is as long as there is ·one," says Boyd-Bowman. All students seeking admission to the program must come in for a personal mterview with Boyd-Bowman or his graduate assistant. "The purpose is to establish eligibility, determme stiong motivation and ensure that each student understands his or her responsibilities in a selfinstructional program of this nature." F or .. obvious reasons," says BoydBowman , the Center for Critical Languages doesn't allow fo reign students to work in their own language although there is nothing to prevent them from doing advanced work in, say, the literature of their native land. Interestingly, Boyd-Bowman reports , ... we have Chinese and Korean students taking Japanese, Arabic speakers studying Perstan, Hausa speakers taking Yoruba, and the ~ke .. . ... We always quesiion students very carefully abo.ul their linguistic and educatio nal backgrounds in order to prevent auempls to gain college credit for speaking one's own native language. But we do admit students who are the children of immigrants who were either born in this country or arrived here very young, lacking any formal school- . ing in their language. Many of these individuals are highly motivated io explore their ethnic heritage." Two years before beilll invited to UB to launch a doctoral program in Hispanic linguistics, Boyd-Bowman developed a pilot program of supervised self-instruction m less commonly taught languages at Kalamazoo College in Michigan. Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education, the program was intended to show that crit1callanguages could be taught at small colleges and universities, where enrollment figures could never justify faculty appointments . Under Boyd-Bowman's general direction. participating Kalamuoo students were successfully tested by outside examiners in Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Swahili, Persian, and Brazilian Ponugucse. "T heUniversity specialists of invited from the Michij~an. Michillan State, and Wisconstn were so 1mpressed by the students' performances that when I came to Buffalo, I was invited by the New York State Education Department to be the consultant and general coordinator of a five-year Stale program funded by the Carnegie Corporation and totaling $167,500," he said. Under terms of the grant, BoydBowman helped launch self-instructional language programs at about 20 New York colleges and universities, including UB. . When the five-year project was phased out, Boyd-Bowman became the general consultant aod coordinator for a national program m'odeled after his programs at Kalamazoo and UB. Today, Boyd-Bowman and his team remain active in the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs, headquarters of which were located at UB and are now at Temple University in Philadelphia. "NASILP now has member inslilutions all over the country, each autonomous but aU modeled generally upon the principles first developed at UB, which still has one of the largest programs in the country, both in number of students and number of languages offered," he said. 0 �June5,1MCI Summer No.1 Helping hands Aiding others is ~.· the Muliers' goal By WENDY ARNDT HUNT T wo summers ago , while his wife carried their first child through th e last trimester , Eugene Muller tended to sick refugees hid ing out in Nong Samet, a border camp lyi ng between Cambodia and Thailand .

S_e~en of the undergraduate degree recJptents were the first graduates of the UB School of Nursing's Registered Nurse Satelhte Program at Fredonia. The School of Management conferred 840 degrees at its 59th Annual Commencement. Of those gradu_ahng, 594 received B.S. degrees in business administration; 235, Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degce.es, and II, Ph.D. degrees. The commencement speaker was Paul L. Snyder, ~hairman of the board of Snyder Corporation. · Senator Moynihan was the \feaker~ at the 97th annual Law Schoo commencement. Of 225 candidates for law degrees, about 40 per cent were women. Jaunty in a European style academic hat, Moynihan s4ggested that the 19th cenlury had left the world blatantly unprepared for th e gory Statesponsored terrorism of today. But the very different ·m oods and modes of that era are exactly what offer hope for a better tomorrow, he observed: "I would suggest - and ~would particularly suggest to a graduate class of law students - that little if anything will be done (about the current wave of terrorism) unle ss we recover the memory of the 19th century as a period of sharply superior civilization to that of our own.

Provost William R. Greiner con- · ferred 82 degrees to graduates of the School of Dental Medicine. Richard Powell, D.D.S., professo r emeritus and former associate dean for student and clinical affairs at the School, delivered the commencement address. ~oting that the 1986 class will ~the last to complete their dental educataons entirely in the School's Farber Hall location, Powell pointed out that at the turn of the ce ntu ry in the earliest days of dental education at UB, the School had o·nly a dozen operatories. When the Squire Hall facility opens as the base of operations for the School later this year, it will have some 396 operations for students. "Much is owed to the foresight of Chancellor Samuel Paul Capen and the School's third dean, Daniel Squire, D.D.S., who reversed then-established concepts nationally iil dental education, Powell said. It was under the guidance of 'these two educators that increased education in the basic sciences was ·included as part of the UB dental curriculum - a trend which spread to dental sctiools across the nation and laid the groundwork for dental e~uca­ tion today. For the first time, 10 graduates were hooded by their fathers , all of whom are alumni of the School. • See Commencement, page 14 �This Month THURSDAY•S ORTHOPAEDICS FRACTURE CONFERENCE, • EC MCOhh Floor Confere nce Room. 8 a.m. Abo June 12. 19. and 26, sa me time a nd place .

The evenl will fealure unusual cqmbinations of various keyboard instruments, including the harpsi chord . clavichord, fortepiano, virginal, celesta. modern piano, and organ. The sheer appeal of sound Is likely 10 be a drawing card. as audiences will be treated to sounds largely unknown to the modern ear. Consider the clavichord. ancestor of the modern pia no, for instance. It had man.y disadvantages. said Newsweek music critic Annatyn Swap in her essay for The Lives of the Piano. But, she added, ''lis voice was wonderfully soft and sweet. making_a tender whisper of melody to beguile a sensitive musician's ears; if the player moved his or her finger on the key while it was depressed. a soft vibrato would steal forth lo add a further tremolo of emotion to the performance.'' Comments"Oavid ·Fuller, UB keyboard artist and organizer of the event: "The clavichord is enormously sensitive and would be a popular instrument still if it could be heard lor more than a few yards . .. Nuns used to practice on it in convents. But it is virtually useless in en~embles. as anything louder than a six:year-old girl tota lly dr.>wns it out.'' " Keyboards ConJending" will also explore the differences belween lhe harpsichord sound of different nations: further differences between the genuine antique and the m'od ern copy; lhe various types ollortepiano (merely a name lor Jhe early piano). and the virginal, a kind of liny harpsichord . Fuller adds: ··s o "dilferenl Irom all of lhese as 10 inhabit dilferenl worlds are lhe celesla - usually an orc hestra l instrument played by hammers on metal bars - the positive organ (a lillie one). and lhe monsler Sleinway. which given ils head would gobble all lhe others op in a gulp." Colin Tilney. Engli sh keyboa rd artisl now on Jhe lacully ol ToronJo's Royal Conserva tory of Music, will give two solo recitals, including one on an Italian harpsichord, ca. 1730.

LaMer Pril'c of the American C hemical Soc1cty ( ACS), Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry. Dr. Man.oj K. Chaudhury received his l)h. D. in 1984, working with Professor Robert J . Good . The title of his thesis was . .. Shon-Rangc and Lo ng-Range Forces in Colloidal and Macroscopic Systems ... Five papers ha\~ been published so far on his work . One Or his disco\cncs has been a condi tion in which a film of hydrocarbon several thousand angstroms thick can exist as a stable film bet.,.,·ccn a drop of water and a sheet of•Teflon . He gave a quantitative theoretical explanation fo r this effect, ·in the socalled Lifs hitz theory of forces across an interface: it had not been knnwn before that this theory evc~rcdictcd the ex istence of stable. thick liq~id films . Chaudhury has also found some new interpretations of the type of force that is known as the hydrogen bond, whel) it acts across an interface. These= results are important in biological systems. such as the interaction of proteins with each other a nd with solid surfaces. Some differences between the behavior of DNA and of RNA arc believed to be. due to the asymmetry w}lich Chaudhury h~ discovered in hydrogen bonds.

If victims view the reporting of a crime to University aiuhornies as ineffective, they might decide to take matters into their own hands. Retaliation could lead to more serio us acts of .vjo lence . Consequently, what were initially relatively minor acts of victimization may escalate to more se rious forms of violence so that individuals who were at first the victims become and are labeled as offenders." The best way to deal with the complexities of crime on campus, according to the report. is to initiate projects that would decrease the frequency of violent incidents between persons who are acquainted , while at the same time increasing the probability that such acts would be reported when they do occur. "I n si tuations where serious violence is viewed as a legitimate threal, the potential victim would have to To Your Benefit Question: How m any tuition assistance programs are there for State J _oss• Calendar From page 16 believe tha t the most efficacious first and last resort would be to call police. It is obvious that if the police viewed as ineffective, then it is less likely that they would be called, and mo re likely that there would be a "violent response to any threat of physical injury."' And once police are called to inter· vene in a situati o n, response time is perceived as more imponant than thf punitive actions that may result from a n incident. ''From the students ' point of view, how severely the criminal justice system generally deals with offenders may be less important than the speed with . which the police respond to a call for help," according to the report. "The perception of how promptly campus police respond to situations marked by potential violence would probabl y affect whether it is considered appropriate and effective to contact them."

"This 'limitation is important as the nature of violence on and orr campus mainly involves simple forms of assault .... the report not~ . During the three-year period studied, 46 violent index offenses were reponed , with 24 of these ca ses involving robbery. " As expected. the majority (14 or 22) or the reported violent offenses. not including robbery, were commilled by non-strangers. In three. of the 14 aggravated assaults. the victim and offe nder were roommates. In [al . . . homicide, the victim was involved because he was a frie'nd of the roommate." According to Lewis and Singer. 64 per cent of these crimes, therefore. were committed by perso ns lnown by the victi ms. Howeve r, according to victim-s urvey data compiled by the Departm'Cnt of Justice, in the general population, on ly 42 per cent or violent offenses arc committed by persons known by the victims. Because of the nature of crime on campus. it is suspected that the number of reports does not reflect th e actual rate of incidents. ~tr a significant proportion of violence on a residential campus occurs between perso ns who are acquainted with each other, then it would be expected that the rate or officially reported crime would be substantially lower.

Between 1982-85, the rate or violence at UB was .2 per 1,000 total st udents enrolled at the University, and 1:2 per 1,000 resident ial students enrolled . he rate of reported violence Qn th e UB campuses is eight times lower than that of the City of Buffalo and approximately half the number of simi lar incidents reported in the Town of Amherst. according to a report compiled bY two Sociology Department. However. the rate of property offenses is five times higher than Amherst's and one and o ne-half times higher than Buffalo's, according to Vio- lence on a Residential Campus and the Learning uf Nonviolent First and lAst Resorts. written by Simon I. Singer and .Lionel S . Lewis, and presented before the SUNY Symposium .on Personal Safety held April 29 in Albany. The report studies violent crimes that were reported on the UB campuses between 1982 and 1985. and looks at victim-offender rc13tionships on and off campus. as well as at the concept of violence as a first and last resort. The venue of crime is differe nt on a residential ca mpus than . in a typical community. in part . because of a school's isolation from outside recreational and residential facilities. according to the report . "(F)or · a segme nt of its population. re sidential student s, the ·university nearly exists as a total institution. [Erving] Goffman {author of Asy lums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental PatienJs and Other Inmates] defines a total institution 'as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals, cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period or time, together lead an enclosed. formally administered round of life.' " If a university shares some of the characteristics of a "total institution,·· then , the behavior of its students would be similar to the behaviors of those in other total institutions such CJ5 prisons. menial hospitals, or military, bases, the report contmues. .. From research carried out "in other Ictal institutions, it could be assumed that violence on a residential campus · would occur mainly between persons · who bave had some prior interaction. . . . We suspect that victims of violence 0 During the sar{te period , the rate ~r violent crime was 9.9 per 1,000 for residents of Buffalo. and 2.0 per 1,000 for residents of Amherst. The rate of property offenses such as burglary, larceny, and automobile thefts, on the other hand , was substantially higher than the surrounding communities - five times higher than Amherst and 1.5 times higher than Burfalo. "The small pr11portion or officially recorded incidents of violence on campus is in line with our suspicion that a significant proportion of VIOlence is not reported to police or ·unlversity officials. . . . The lower rate of violent crime . . . is particularly striking i.n light or the fact that unlike the residential campus composed of persons I31J!C'Iy between 18 and 21 (the segmen t or the population with the highest rates or violent offenses), the population or Amherst consists of a large proportion or persons who are beyond the crimeprone years of violence [yet has a higher rate of violent cnme]," the report concludes. In fact, according to Lewis and Singer. because it occurs in a "total institution." violence on campus is mainly hidden from officials. T hi s pattern of minimal reporting of violence between persons who know each other resembles domestic violence. the report notes, where because victims are in close proximity to their orrenders, they are unlikely to report an incident. " In a sense. the IUnds of spouse and child abuse that is found in the general population has an analogue on the residential campus,., the report says. "Besides the simple availability of suitable targets within a residential campus, pcr~ons who use violence as a first resort [rather than as a lasl resort. or self defense] must be impelled to commit their offenses. The frustrations and strains of academic life are an obvious source of campus violence. Instead of auacking the direct source or their frustrations, students displace their aggression.

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

Lee, Ph. D. , dean of UB's Faculty of Engineering and App: lied Sciences, recently returned from a trip to Malaysia to sign the preliminary agreement with the Mara Institute. Lee and tephen C. Dunnett, Ph.D., associate professOr and director of the lntensi~e English Language lnsJitute, are the directors of the program. Malaysiar students will be eligible for associ?.tc degrees from SUNY in either enginccriitg science or management and economics. Both degree programs are offered through Millard Fillmore College and include instruction · in technical and non-technical subjects. In the IntensiVe English Language Institute portion of th e program. Malaysian students will study English, American culture 3:nd society, and orientation to academic life in Arn'trican school" Dunnett feels Malaysian students need to stud y both tht language and the cul,ure of America in order to prepare for srudy in the United tates. "Teaching and learning are very different in the United States, .. he saad. "The Asian student is used .to passive learning. while A.mericans are used to active learning. For instance. the Asian students rarely ask questions of a professor. That is one reason why Asian students have a hard time participating in classes with American students who are used to asking questions... According to Dunnett. Asian students are accustomed to role learning from the professor and a textbook thal suppons what the professor is saying. However. man y American p(Ofessors offe r differing points of view, and the student must choose among them. G he Malaysian education program includes general education subjects such as ccon.omics. psychology, sociology. languages. history, health sciences, mathematics, physics, and chemisuy. Engineering subjects include general T engineering science, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. Managemeiu , economics, and computer languages will ·be taught to the business majors. Most of the graduates of the prp. gram will be expected to apply to American colleges to complete bachelor's and master's degrees. According to Lee. there is no requirement that the graduates apply to UB or even a campus of the SUNY system. After they complete their training, students will be expected to work in their own count ry. Lee said the Malaysian people are .. most interested in training in engineering. "Two-thi rds of the st udents in our program will study engineering, and the remaining third will study business and social sciences," he said. The U B prog(am is part of a national effort of the Malaysian government. The government hopes to prepare 20,000 students for upperdivision overseas studies through .the help of American universities. Three universities (Indiana University. University of Maryland and the University of Texas) have begun instructional programs in the country. The SUNY system, with UB as the leading institution, represents the fourth university to begin teaching in Malaysia. UB faculty will be teaching about 400 students a year for four years on their own campus. located near the campus of the Mara Institute. The Malaysian government is paying the Wagner briefs the - FSEC 8 Vice President for University Services Robert J . Wagner presented the .Faculty Senate Executive Committee with a rundown on the status of about a half dozen programs affectin~ the University at the group's Apnl 30 meeting. Preliminary details on · the Empire State Game>. to be held at UB and · other sites throughout Western New York Aug. 6- 10. are being firmed up, Wagner told the FSEC, and "this year, much earlier. we know what we're doing." He noted tlnll efforts are being . made to minimize scheduling connicts between University programs and the games, especially during opening night ceremonies. The University also will be recruiting about 400 volunteers, about twice as many as last year, Wagner said. noting .. the. volunteers last year made all the difierence." and contrib· uted .. tens of thousands of man hours .... The vice president said he also hopes to have completed by September a list of recommendalions to be given to the Provost's office regarding the future of the Educational Communications Cen.ter. Wagner has received several reports on the opera1ion. "The reports are Oot all in ~reement on all issues. U but I $Uess I would have been surprised tf they had been," he told the FSEC. On the issue of " I" grades. Wagner told the committee that some system of informing students that taking an "'Incomplete" in a course may jeopardize their financial aid, needs to be worked out. The University also plans to expand Welcome Week activities for Fall 1986, "'to provide students return ing in the fall wi th introductory and welcome back activities." A variery of acti vities will be held for dorm students who a re in .. a state of flux" between arriving on campus on Saturday and th e start pf classes on Tuesday. The expanded program will be especially benefi~ial to new students, Wagner said, adding "the first eight weeks of the year are especially.important in retention."' A survey of faculty, staff, and students will be conducted through the end of the semester to gather information on opinions regarding safety at UB and the issue of arming Public Safety officers. according to Wagner. The random telephone survey will contact 2,000 individuals and is being conducted by a professional su{Vey service, ~~ded . . 0 fulf cost of the teachers' salaries, faculty housing, students' room and board , local transportation, a~ any other expenses. Lee said that the governmen t has been se nd ing thousands of studen ts to the United States and other countries to study. '"The attrition rates have been high for students coming to the U.S.," he said ... lristructing the stude~ in ."Two thirds of those in the program will study engineering; the rest, business and social sciences." Malaysia may be the solu tion to the problem of high attrition rates." unnett said that one of the unique aspects of the UB pro~ram is the involvement of the IntenSive English Language Institute. hNo other university is offering . a program like this one," he said. "The real test will be whether Malaysian st udents will be able to complete their studies in the United States. We want to insure the successful transfer of as many students as we can." D benefits of the program will be the development of a curriculum that could be used in training students at UB. "Once we bring tlje curricu lum back. we can use it here.:• Dunnell said. . Malaysia has ..emerged from its status as a developing country, partly because of its ability to extract its rich natural resources. The country now produces 35· per cent of the world outp ut of tin a11d 35 per cent of the world o utput of rubb er. Crud e oil production has . reached 440,000 barrels a day. The country also has a very stable democratic government. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammed is particularly interested in educating the Malays and in . imp...rovi ng the country's economy. He yriginated the idea of orienting young Malaysians to American universities by bringing professors to the country in 1982. T he Mara Instit ute has become a major center of crosscultural educational programs. Malaysia has increased its prod.uction of manufactured goods over the years. Light industry includes electronics and textile products, and heavy industry includes steel, cement. pulp and paper, and cars. · T he people of Malaysia are composed of many ethntc groups. The largest group (about 50 per cent) is Malayan, originating from the Malay Peninsula (bordering Thailand). The national language is Bahasa Malaysia. Most Malays arc adherents of the Moslem faith . The largest minority is Chinese (36 per cent). In addition to peninsular Malaya, the political boundaries of Malaysia include two regions on the Island of Borneo: Sabah and Sarawak. U B has developed several programs that encou rage international exchange, including the Intensive English Language Institute for teaching English to foreign students. a program to teach American-style management in C::hina. and a SUNY-Beijing exchange program for professors. D UB grad invited to USSR tQ aid i"n aftermath of Chernobyl disaster R obert Peter Gale , a 1970 graduate of UB's Medical School who has an international reputation as a leukemia researcher and pioneer in bone marrow transplantation techniques. was invited to the Soviet Union to aid in the aftermath of the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl. Gale left for Ru ssia May I at the invitation of the Soviets. He is ch3irman of the International Bone Marrow Registry which offered its aid. One effect of radiation is that it can kill the cells in bone marrow. Gale will assess the situation, idel)tify persons who may need bone marrow transplants, try to find available donors. and locate where the operations can be performed. Gale is an associate professor of medicine. Division of Hematology and Oncology, at the University of California at Los Angeles. A spokesman there said Gale believes the effects of radiation arc potentially treatable if the dis· ease can be identified and donors found . A fellow 1970 Medical School graduate, Jan Novak, associate professor of medicine at UB and director of the Gl unit at the Erie County Medical Cenler, noted that Gale is very bright and did well here. " He's probably one of th e most prominent graduates in the last 20 years," Novak Silid, addi ng that Gale has written extensively on bone marrow techniq ues. '"He's had an impressive career - he's a superstar. He's somebody UB can be proud of. "The Soviets are going to need his expertise." ovak noted . One of the influenc~s on the Class of 1970 was the outstanding group of immunologists that was gathered here by Ernest Witebsky, said ano ther graduate. Steven V. Grabiec. clinical associate professo r at UB. Witebsky has been called "the Father of Immunopathology" in this country. Probably about 10 of the approximately 100 students in the class went into immunology or allergy specialties. Grabiec said . Gale received his B.A. from Hobart College in 1966. After medical school at .UB. he attended UCLA and in 1978 received his Ph.D. in immunology and microbiology. 0 �...,.,1.

At the same time, they have vastly • increased their exposure and gained nat ional recognition through both their academic and athletic pu rsuits. S urely. these bastion of academic excellence do not view athletic scholarships as ..stupid and wasteful.- nor do they perceive Divi· sion I athletics as crearing an .. atmosphere of pl11y and childishness on campus," as Dr. Hochfield so absurdly claims. The good Doctor's claim that athletics is "utterly irre le\'ant'' to what the university s hould be co ncerned with. is also unfounded . as these othe r Uf'!iversities have proven ..

All of these groups are extremely proud of this Universi ty in vinually every way possi ble - except in athletics.

Birx said. t was during the Miocene era. which occurred 15 to 20 million year. ago. that the break began t<l occur, he said.

"Toolmaking came after bipcdality probably several million years later. We used objec ts, but the making of stone implements came much later." The third factor was modern crania l capacity . .. For whatever reason. the human brain began to expand rapidly." Bir."< -said. According to. Birx. there were four species of hominids - or erect walkers.

The views of Mrs. Langs, especia ll y. came to dominat e and decidedly inO uenced the directi on of her so n's budding career. This rather possessi-ve. and domineering woman, says Bianchi, forced her son 10 qui1 music and s1 udy law. He did so, ·gra· duat,ing from the UB Law School in 1908. I he yeaF-of MacDowell's dealh. For .the next 12 years, Langs prac· 1iced law in Niagara Falls. Though he reserved his greatest passion for music, "he liked being a lawyer," says Bianchi. Hi> father died in 1916, hi> molhe r in 1920. Only lhen did Langs marry May Louise Metcalf, a yo ung woman who in effect, had been "lried out'' as a suitable spouse for Langs, while stayi ng with the family before 'Mrs. Langs' death. Comments Bianchi: " He mus1 not have fell free 10 marry while his mother was alive. " The couple had no .children. Also, "the second his mother d ied ," says Bia nchi. Langs quit lhe law, and embarked on a career of exte nsive travel a nd musical activitY, made possible by a sizeable in herilance. Langs' !rave ls look him 10 Europe, Egy pt, Syria. C hin a a nd Central America. During a 1922 lrip to France and Spain, he purchased dozens of recently published works . by 1he mod ern composers of the day, including Debussy, Rave l, Granados, and Albemz. After examining this beg uiling new world of harm onic inve ntion and lush so und ~ngs'. own ha rinonjc vocabulary, say~ Brancht, began to cha nge dramatically. But his base .rem~ i ned Niagara Falls, spectfrcally ht s fat her 's enchan tin g home "right on I he gorge," Jaier demo I· ished to ma ke room for the Robert Moses Parkwa y. The couple 1hen moved to a nother hou se close by. In 1924, Langs met Harold Bradley ( 1906· 1984), l he Canad ian pianist and com· pose r who ta ught Bianchi and to whom the co ncert is dedicated . Theirs was an especially fruitfu l and long-lived friend· ship. "They played two-pia no works togelher twice a week for 45 years," notes Bianchi. "'And there was a tenyear period when the two of them played to gel her on WH LD every Sunday for 30 minutes." to his work with I Bradaddition ley. Langs conlinued 10 hold' n monthly "musicnles." These wore informal recitals much in the style of 19,1h ceniUry salon ~usic. The musical · quality varied, says Bianchi . For instance, recordings from Some of the musicales show 1hat Langs, .ever tbe ~ccomplished pianist, apparently was contenl to play wilh much lesse r play· . Crs from his socially p-rominent circle. . Busy adminislering hi s family's income... producing property, Langs continued 10 take pan in many other regu· lar musict~l activiti es. includ ing hol idaylime church choral cond uc;i.ng a nd playing regularly wilh a violist. How does Langs measu re up as a composer? The question is difficull to answer. .. He co uld have been more concise in spots, so metimes there is a paucity of 1deas," says Bianchi. " but hal'lnoni,.•lly he was very inleresting." The music has ••a cenam flavor th at takes getting used to." Bianchi is esP.e· cially fond of character pieces like Inland Water Suite for T~·o Pianos and Chinese Suite; both are on Satur· day's progra m. Langs gave the movements of these works suc h 1ypically expressive titles as "The Flu1e al Twi· light," "Tunes from the Mongolian Borde r," "Raindrops Fall o n Pl acid Wa1ers" and "Turbul enl River." The Jas1 move men t, final secl ion of Inland Warer Suite, will conclude SaiUrday's program. perhaps a fitting tribule 10 lhe river which so inlluenced Langs' life. Adds Bianchi: "MacDowell's inOuence is found in many of 1he slow movements of his late sonatas for piano solo and piano and violin. A large portion of Langs' laler works are character pieces that possess lush har· monies. The frequent nature themes also reflect MacDowell 's inOuence." An occasionally amateurish qualily in Langs· music can be anrib01ed to his isolati on from serious criticism and to a seeming lack of confidence in his · ability as composer and performer, Bianc hi believes. One can on ly specu· late wha1 kind of musical career Langs might have e nj oyed had his mother encouraged a professional career in music for her son. But did he want such a life? The evidence poinls 10 a certain self-satisfac tion on Langs' pan; he clearly reli>htid his life as coumry squire and talenled non-professional. Also on lhe program are Violin and Piano Sonara in C Minor. Waltz in E. Waltz in C Minor, Waltz in C, the second movement of the Piano Sonata in A Minor. Wayside Suite.

There is more in- valved than just going to class'. learning ·a routine. and performing it. His training for last year's competition involved not only taking classes at U B. but also taking classe of all forms outside of the Univer it y. These included -ballet to strengthen hi s legs and deve lop a better technique. To prepare for las t year's competition. Zera also trained at the Village Glen Tennis and Fitness Club.

"You spend a lo t of time in the s tudio if you 1,want to be a good dancer." Another rea son for th e dancers' lack of free time is he phy;ically demanding worklmtd they must co ntend with.

"She thinks you arc more mentally and physically prepared that way. which makes you a beuer dancer." Gonz.alc7 believes that if he had accepted the offer and done well. he probably could have advanced to one of Joffrey's re~iden t dance companies. The future looks bright for thi s talented group of yo ung professio nals. Sutter. who performed in l·larh,quinadt; with the New York City Ballet Company at Linco ln Center. hopes to dan ce in a regional ballet com pany. In additi on to her full-time studies here. she teac hes ballet at Terri George's Dance Work shop in Kenmore. Following what s he hop~ will be 3 succes~fu l career a!) a professional ballet dancer. Sutter plans to resu m teaching. Zera hopes to dance professionally i~ a co mpany that draws on all dance forms " because that's what we learned the most throug h the Zodiaque Dance Company." He also plans to audition for Broadway s hows.

With 50 years experience in national and international reportrng, Schorr doubles as the Washington corre- · spondent" _for Weekend Edition, NPR's new Saturday morning news magazine, an<t as news analyst for All Th!ngs Considered, NPR's awardwinning daily news program. D Based in Washington since 1966, when he wound up a 2()-.year stint as a foreign correspondent, Schorr slill 'travels widety for flrst~hand observation. Within a three-mcmth period, he reported lor NPR from Ber1in , from the Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Geneva, and from Israel. Schorr started his career as a foreign correspondent after World War II, writ ing from Western Europe tor 1he Christian Sc(ence Monitor and Th8 New York Times. His coverage of the 1953 flood that broke the dikos tn Helfand brought him to the attention of Edward R Murrow. which led to an offer to join Murrow's team of CBS ne;ws corre-spondents as diplomatic corre-spondent in Washington. In 1955, he went to Moscow to open the CBS bureau. Hia assign· ment in the Soviet capital waa climaxed by the historic "Face lhe Nation" Interview In 1957 with Soviet Chief Nlkita Khrushchev in his Kremlin office that made ~nner headlines around the world. Schorr was excluded by the Russians at the end of ·that ·same year f•r defyin·9" their censorship regulations. After serving in Washington and at lhe United Natlbna, Schorr returned to Europe In 1960 as CBS bureau chief for Germany and Eastern Europe. In the following six years. he covered the Berlin and Soviet harassment of Allied access to the divided city, and ranged widely to Poland, Czechoslovakia. Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Reassigned to Washington In 1966, Schorr bought a house, married {the former Lisbeth Bamberger) and settled down to "become re-Amerlcanized." as he puts it, by plung ing Into coverage of civil rlgAts, urban and environmental problems, health and economics. wan break-in at the Democratic headquarters In 1972 created a new assignment which, in the next two years, developed into the role of CBS chief Watergate correspondent His coverage earned him three Emmy awards. He found himself unexpectedly a part of his own story as the Watergate fnvesti· gatlon turned up a Nixon "enemies list" with his name on It and evl· denca that the Pres ident had ordered him investigated by the FBI. Nixon then tried to cover up that Investigation by stating that it was lor a fictitious White House A pos ition. That "abuse of a federal agency'' became one of the Impeachment charges aga inst Nixon. After Preslctent Nixon's resigna· Uon i n 1974, Schorr moved 10 the spreading Investigation of CIA and FBI scandals- " the son of Watergate," as he called it. That was climaxed by his publication at a leaked copy of the final report of the House Intelligence Committee in . defiance of a House resolution, adopted under pressure by the CIA and the Ford administration, to suppress the report. The House Ethics Committee, ordered to investigate the leak, eventually summoned Schorr in September 1976 to demand that he identify his source. Risking a jail sentence for contempt, he refused with a statement that has become a journalism school classic : " To betray a sourctt would mean to dry up many future sources for many future reporters.. .. It would mean to betray myself, my career and my life.· Showeied with clvll 'fiberties awards lor his historic defense of the First Amendment . Schorr resigned from CBS. accepted an appointment as Regents Professor of Journalism at the University of california In Berkeley, and wrote Clearing the Air, his account of a stormy period spent investigating government scandals for a television network subjected to gove,rnment pressurp:s. In 1980, .Schorr agreed to help Ted Turner create the Cable News Ne.t work, serving as its senior correspondent until1985. He filmed an unprecedented hour-long interview with Justice Harry Blackmon in his Supreme Court chambers . an exclusive interview with President carter, and traveled widely with · Presidents Carter and Reagan for summit meetings. Schorr became noted for. h.is ad lib commentary during crises such as the shooting of President Reaganl and for responding spontaneously to phoned-In questions from viewers of a program he devised called ."Ask CNN." SchQrr had started broadcasting commentarie~ for NPA's All Things Con.aldered in 1978, and insisted bn continuing them all during his em,plo,yment with CNN. When he his role with NPR was and formalized with a dragged from tbe siQelines into the arena, but always. I believe, in defense of doing my JOb as a reporter. I mean, if President Nixon decides to have the. FBI investigate me, and then that becomes an issue, or if my name turns up in a Watergate hearing on the Nixon "enemies list," that's not something I did, but something ttJatsomebody else did because I was pursuing my journalistic job. I've always loved the idea of being not a mover. shaker, maker of events , but the one who describes them to others.. Schorr reflects on his career v1ith Scott Simon Weekend Edition ho!l Scott Simon pulled NPR Nttlonal Affaira Corre$pondfmt Daniel Scho" Into one of NPR's studios to talk with him about his career and his observations ebout news aslt Is reported In print, on television, and on the radio, especlai!Y ~~ N PR. w-4 SIMON: How do you define wMI you do on Edition .. being dl:fferenl from other thlnp you'W done In your cai"MM? SCHORR: It is one of the times when I can sit back and look at the events of a sometimes chaotic and tumultuous and compll~ied week, and look at it not from the point of view of the news junkie who says, "What happened today?" but with a longer view- "'What happened this week and what place may that have taken In history?.. SIMON: You 1tarted In the business 50 years ego, as I Understand It? SCHORR: I knQw, you look lncredu· lous about this, but I w;ube 70years old this year. l was18 when I started In the news business, and so it is something more than SO years ago that I started writing news. SIMON: WeU, can I hetr the beginnlnga? SCHORR: I guess the real beglr>nlng of my joumellstie career was when I was13yearsold,livlng !nan apartment house on the groun~ floor in the Bronx. f heard a big "plop" outside the window, looked out, and saw a dead body lying there i n front of me, somebody who had jumped off the roof. I coolly waited for the pollee to arrive, found out his name. a few other things, and called the local newspaper. which was called the Bronx Home News. and dictated a story for which I got live dollars - the first money I ever earned in journalism. SIMON: When you I - bKk at the time when you were 13, and you hnrdtheplop,haftyou-rul<ad yournlt what impeltad you to Kt that way? SCHORR: A lot. And in fact, when I wrote my book Clearing The Air in 1976, I tried to define the attitude of the journalist, what it is that made me at that early age not be shocked or even saddened, but to look with a totally dispassionate view of, "Here is an event, a story. something that must be covered." I guess it is an attitude. Being a reporter is not only a profession for me, It is a way or life; It Is Indeed an attitude towards life. I am the observer. What it means is that I don't sign petitions, i don't make political contributions. ! don't get my name on various letterheads. I don't get Involved. Some people call that a cop.-out. Maybe it is a cop.-out, but I am ·the quintessential person on the sidelines. Now, some people etll that funny because I have a way of being SIMON: You were there et the llirlual beginnings of broa-t ioumallam. do you that r.pol'ting .... c:hanilad . . . rnuh ot that lnduttry? SCHORR: In the early days, a newspaper was a rather small enterprise In which one person might V!rltea story, set the type and go out and distribute the newspapers. Then the press grew and became rather big. But. as long as it was the printed press. its main tunctron was purveying Information. As news got into broadcasting, :~~~~~i~it:~:e;:· f~~!:~:f~~: the information purveying side became a sideline to a vast entertainment enterprise. The result was that people in charge no longer saw news as their principal function, but as a secondary function, and quile frequently, as a rather irntating function because it interfered w1th the rest. As Ed· MurroW observed, his hard-hitting program "See It Now" presented a problem. What he was doing got in the way of profitmaking. Hera were these people involved with millions - and later billions - of dollars of investment riding on advertising dollars, riding on ratings, riding on entertainment They had togo on doing these news · things partly tor prestige, and partly because of traditiOn, but they could never really function the way newspapers do - a's though news was their principal purpose. And so, for example, i n one of the more traumatic experiences of my life, when in 19761 came into possession of a report of a Congressional Committee Investigating the CIA. which the House of Representatives voted to suppress, 1 regarded myself as being in the position comparable to that of the New York Times when tt was giveo the "Pentagon Papers." That is to say, I had an obligation to iee that it was made available to the public.. But I didn't work for the New York Times. I worked for CBS. And CBS with its affiliates and the pressures of Congress and the awareness of the FCC, didn't react the way a newspaper would react.

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

Backpage State University of New York UB house named 'national landmark' • By ANN WHITCHER U B's Darwin D. Martin House, 'designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1904, has been named a National Historic Landmark by U.S. Interior Secretary Donald P. Hodel. ~Tbe purpose of landmark designation is to identify and recognize oat<onally aiJ!nlficant sites and to encourage tbetr o~ers to preserve them," laid Edwin C Bearss, chief historian fQr the N~ Park Service. Landmarks ~ chosen after careful study by tbc Pm Service\ architectural bistoriaD. CaroiJD Pitts. They are then~ lit' an ad'risory board. Actual ~o COme$ from the Secretall' Of · laterior in accordance with tbc Hiltoric Sites Act of 1935 and 1he National flisloric Preservation Act of 1966. "We are delighted with Secretary Hodel's decision to recognize the archi- tectural distinction of this wonderful building," said UB President Steven B. Sample. "The Martin House has long been reco~nizcd as an enduring trea- sure and nchly deserves the additional attention it will now receive . ., Added Michael P. Brooks, de~n of the School of Architecture and. Environmental Design, which administers the building: "The Martin House is a fantastic teaching resource for the school, and our advisory .board for the house has been working diligently toward its full restoration. The house is already acclaimed as one of Wright's ftllest Prairie School creations. Its designation as a Na!ional Historic Landmark will produce even more visibility - and hopefully financial resources." Deputy New York State commissiOner for historic preservation Julia S. Stokes, who helped secure the designation. said: "We were very pleased to be able to forward the designation to Washington. The Manin Ho.usc is an incredible piece of architecture. It's a beautiful building." The University will hold a community celebration of the designation sometime this fall. uilt for Darwin D. Manin between 1900 and 1904, the house is considered one of the finest of the sprawling prairie residences of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period. Martin was a Lark:in Company executive who commissioned Wright to build a house for him after seeing the house Wright had built for his bro~ber, W.E. Martin. in Oak: Park, Illinois. It was acquired by UB in 1967. According to Wright, who died in 1959 at the age of 91, "a house ... can be a noble consort to man and the trees." He debunked the notion that a house mu t necessarily be a "box." And he stated that a building's colors 8 • See . . . . . - . page 2 • �a..,1,1118 Volume 17, No. 29 wi th lo ng sequences o f wind o ws, unheard of a t the time.

The main fireplace was two-sided and covered with an exceptionally handsome mosaic wisteria pattern. After reducing the number of rooms to a bare minimum. Wright brought the ceilings down and designed intc- ~~bert rio rs so th at .ceilings and walls Oowed toget her as one la rge e nclosure of space. The then-standard 12-foot ceilings were lowered to today's level of 7!11 feet. In line with Wright's belief in "organic archite<;ture, .. in which architecture wasn't ·divorced from the natural envi ronment, all materials shOuld' Interior- ollhe llletlln Houn be natu ral, he stated. Also, plaster was -not to be tin ted wit h eanh tones; rhe brick was not to be covered with stucco or painted. The house's pier and cantllever construction allo~·ed Wright to do away wuh walls enurely.

Letters Sharpen your commands on tests DEAR COLLEAGUES: As examination time approaches, it may be useful to share some thoughts about wriuen exams and term papers. Thc:R ideas are based on sessions with ·studentS who have known 1he course material but -performed badly":' on the exafl)s. · A high percentage of the weak performances can be \raced back to vague or misleading command verbs on the exams. The following clear command verbs arc in an order of increasing intellectual complexity: idtmtify .stat~ the signifirom:e or imponon('(' of . . norrotr or for ... desrriht> ff'( 'ft'OII! and be surprised to learn that the exammer really wished an analysis of the causes and effects. Obviowly the beginnmg command verbs arc more appropriate for timed, closedbook exam.~. while the later co mmand verbs may ccnainl.y be used productively in open· book or take-home finals. It is often a good idea to require that students hand in all drafts of take-home exams and term papers. Such a requirement decreases the likerihood of plagiarism and increases the chances for a productive conference about the prob1ematic essay.

But upon completion of the most comprehensive modern .psychiat ric profile of arsonists to date .. he realized that his initial impression was no more than a false stereotype. For example, the conclusions of h1s study reveal that most arsonists have no particular fascination with fires and do not get any sexual stimulation from them. Dr. Molnar, who j~ also clinical director of psychiatry at Erie County Med ical Ce nt er, is well known for his primary area of resea rch into psychopharmacology and mood d iso rders. Just as the co nclu sions of this st ud y prompted th~ revision of his own idea of the arsonist. he hopes the results will serve to guide and educate the police and the courts to the fact' that arsonists arc not always hard...core criminals, as they arc often depicted and treated. Thi> is panly related to the fact that arson is perhaps the easiest crime to commit. ''O ther violen t· crimes require nerve and perh a ps the use of u gun or · a knife ... explains Dr. Molnar.

B uffalo has had its fair share of problems with the crime of arson. In the late 70s when there were a large number of empty industrial properties and abandoned buildings in Buffalo. particularly in the downtown sectiqn. the growing incidence of arson toget her with the depressed economy posed a severe threat to many formerly thriving neighborhoods. The rate of arson reached such epidemic proportions in Buffalo. New York, Philadelphia, and o ther cities that in 1978 Congress enacted legislation which requi red national reporting of arson by the F.B. I. Arson was at its peak in 1978 when socio-economic conditions in many cities fostered incidents of insurance fraud . and vandalism which commonly used arson as a tool. Since 1981 the frequency has declined . Between 1982 and 1984, for instance. incidents of arson in Erie County decreased from 874 to 662. a 24 per cent reduction. However. today it still remains at a level responsible for the senseless loss of perhaps hundreds or thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars every year across the nation. The profile emerging from this study differs greatly from the popular image of the pyromaniac and instead presents the largest group of aasonists as a group of socially inadequate indi•iduals whose actions are often given impetus by their mental problems. "Most of the arsonists whom I encountered were not o therwise threatening but more often unhappy and depressed individuals," says Dr. Molnar. It is his hope that the conclusions of the study will be useful to those persons who inv~:.Sti­ gate arson and will better enable them to understand the criminal and. thus, the crime. 0 (Mr. Taylor is a sophomore pr~-med, chemistr.... major at UB.

Gale said she hasn't seen any. cases where a student has become physically oolent, but if it does occur, he'd recommend calling Public Safety.

But help can come from friends, family. a resident advisor. or a cler~man. Suicidal behaviOrs, in general. have brief duration, she said. They may be precipitated by a break-up wi th a boyfriend or girlfriend or by failing a crucial exam. The intensity can last a day or two or perhaps a week. During that time arrangemen~ could be made to have the student >tay with friends or go home for the weekend, Gale suggested. The clergymen from Campus Ministries are terrific, she added. Gale told of one facu lty member .. who took an upset student to dinner one night so the student wouldn' be alone.

The Outstanding Service Award is presented by the University at Buffalo Foundation Inc . The two annual winners of the award each receive S1,000 cash and a personal certificate of recognition. "Frequently, members of the professional staff go beyond the normal · scope of thei ,...responsibilities to make T outstanding educational or civic con~ tributions which benefit the University and the community," Dingeldey added.

He talks movingly about the pace of life on his CheyenneArapaho reservation in Geary, OkJahoma. where a yearly dance salutes the beauty of the sun. · · N Such reverence for nature. he says, would never allow a Love Canal to happen. For the ative American, the pervasive symbol of the circ)e implies an inescapable responsibility for one's actions. "The people who made Love Canal were linear thinkers, with no concern for the future.·· Continuing the Love Canal analo~y, he notes that the chiefs of his tnbe , before eating together in the tepee, take some of the food and bury it in the ground outside. "In their perception. they couldn' take something that is harmful to themselves or the land and put it in the eanh." A native of Wichita. Kansas, Heap of Birds moved to the reservation after earning his M. F.A. degree from the Tyler School of An at Temple University in Philadelphia. He had also studied ~ainting at the Royal College of An m Logdon. Though he had never before lived on a reservation, his par· ents. who continue to live in Kansas. welcomed his decision. "I'm really a believer in going where you want to be, andtlearning about things firsthand. I had a commitment to discuss native issues, so I had to know what I was talking about. That is ~ why I returned." · His cd'mpatriots on the reservation see him participating in each summer's sun dance. thus fulfilling his promise to do so for four years : So, he says, there is liltle, if any. resentment, toward Heap of Birds' frequent trips to New York. Paris, London. and Stockholm in pursuit of an ..active an career. In any case. he told the Reporter. the notion that lndian' artists don 1t participate in "the wider culture" is nothing more than a relentless stereotype. W hilt in . Oklahoma, Heap of Birds ·gladly iinparts news of the Ne"'' York-Paris-London an scene to other anists living &n the reserva1ion. And hC also lectures on Native American an everywhere he goes. In 1984, he was curator of •• o Beads o Trinkets, .. a large show of Indian an that originated in Seattle before traveling to the United Nations' Palais de Nations in Geneva. He also took pan in the recent "We Always Come Back on Purpose" show at SU Yf Westbury, in which a group of Native American artists displayed art with decidedly political overtones. Despite the many differences among tribes, Heap of Birds adds "a certain pan-lndianism~· - with common slang anp dances - is emerging across the country. Heap of Birds speaks passionately about the political rights of Indians, especially the land rights accorded them by various treaties. For instance, Indian commerce on the reservation can not be regulated by the government, he says, nor are any non-federal law enforcement officials allowed on the reservation. Yet, he maintains, the threat if not actual violation of these laws and regulations , hangs like a heavy thundercloud over Indian life on most American reservations. "Indian people in the United States have a real special c"ndition compared to everyone else in the country, includ- ing other minorities. This stems to some extent from our world view but primarily it is due to our land rights. which ought to be respected . .. . Most Americans are living on former Indian terri tory. At 1he \'try least, they should know more about their hosts." . But political messages are only a part of Heap of Birds' art. Some of his free-form abs tract paintings. displayed earlier this mont h at Bethune Gallery, reminded Philadelphia Inquirer cri'iic Edward J. Sozanski of tlfe words of Clyfford Still. who added: "Each painting consists of a number of irregular patches of color interlocked like a giant puzzle in which all the pieces look like Czechoslovakia .. .. This is vibrant. Sensual painting that plays tricks on one's depth perception and sense of proportion." The artist . who is in his early 30s, is also fascinated by language. His recent CEPA display included many working sheets for his " language art, •· which plays not only on the literal meaning of words . but also revels in their "abstract•• properties. cspeciaily sound and appearance. Some of the groupings were overtly political: "Native is Pain and You're Part?" and "Oh! Those South African Home Lands You Impose U. S . Indian Re servations.'' Others were lyrical statements about the pathos of love: "Risk Finding Passion." Color. frequently with strong references to traditional Indian lore. is used throughout. Says Heap of Birds: "I want to paint language." The CEPA show also contained photos and a videotaped rendition of "ln Our Language." Here, phrases in which the Cheyenne-Arapaho people were allowed to acerbically comment on their relationship with the White Man •. or "Vehoe" in the Cheyenne language. which also means .. spider," were flashed above Times Square for about 50 seconds every 20 minutes during a two-week show with other artists in 1982. T he American Indian is often seen as the representative of the exotic. a state of affairs that precludes real understanding of native life. Heap of Birds was frank ly "appalled" by local ignorance concerning both Indian culture and the presence of the Turtle Museum in Niagara Falls. which he regards as one of the best reP.ositories of knowledge abou t Indian hfe in the world. He also laments the presence throughout the country of non-Indians •·masquerading as Indians," and also of anthropologists and other scholars who. he says. often prevent the Indian himself from participating in the gathering of Indian scholarship. They do so, he alleges. either through fear of being proved wrong in their factsgathering or perhaps due to an odd form of ego-tnpping. The best solution. he states, would be to allow Indian graduate students to teach more extensively in universities, and thereby participate in the wider dissemination of knowledge about Indian cuhure. He praised UB's Department of American Studies for allowmg such progress. He sums the issue up in this way: "The white man shall always project himself into our lives using information that is provided by learning institutions and the electronac and print media. Through these experiences the nonIndian will decide to accept or reject that native Americans are a unique and separate people with the mandate to maintain and strengthen indigenous rights and beliefs. Therefore we find that the survival of our people is based upon our use of -expressive forms of modern communication. The insu~gent messages within these forms must serve as our present day combative tactics ... D �THURSDAY•1 PIANO STUDENT RECITAL • • Baird Recital Hall. 12 noon.

No. his line wasn't cut by the budget. And he didn't retire suddenly, or die. He just disappeared. So who is this fat guy. you as k. who T no longer workt,. at the University? He's a- figurative pcrsonna. the combined weight losses of 19 men and one woman who entered a fat oghting con'test in January. Eleven weeks later, they all weighed in - a total of 411 pounds lighter - and the fat man was gone. llack at the beginning of the semester, each of the then-fleshier group of 20 tossed S 100 into a pot. divided up into two teams, set their weight loss goals, and embarked on the path of deprivation, One had 14 pounds to lose, another, 20, and the rest vowed to finish the semester 22 pounds lighter. The members of the team with the most goal-reachers, it was agreed , would be. allowed to draw for first, second, and third prizes. To help them meet their goals, the fat fighters consulted with Darwin Dennison, p"rofessor in health behavipral sciences, anti Lynne A. Groeger, a registered dietitian who ass ists Denniw a ·total son with the nutnuon and behavior course he teaches at UB. She is also an employee of Dl E Systems, a microcomputerized nutrient analysis and diet improvement system devised by Dennison. Interim weigh-ins were held to discourage crash dieting. And on Thursw day, April 10, 1986. at the stroke of noon, the moment of truth ariived. Of the 20 participants in the contest, 14 reached their target weights. according to Walter Kunz, dean of Undergraduate Academic Services. and the initiator of the contest. '"Of th~ six who didn't reach their room , along with two other members of his team whose job it was to drag him out before he passed out. Eleventh hour sweating. and lightweight garments aside. he still was ·a pound and a half over. • The '" precision "' award for the contestant who arrived at the weigh-in at exat·tly 12 o'clock. and who lost exactly 22 pounds. including that critical ounce that was lost by taking off his glasses. • The "'citrus growers" award. presented to the contestant who lost 14 pounds in two and one-half days by consuming only grapefruit. targets. two almost did , and everyone Kunz lost at least half of his or her target,'" he said . · received a box of Godiva chocolates for developing the idea of the contesl . ''but 1 made sure everyone ate it before we left the place." he said . · ·And they began to discuss their next challenge - keeping it off. o celebrate their successes and T award prizes. on April 15 the group had dinner at the Brookoeld Country Club, where '"some people had the largest Sleak possible . .. and no one ordered the diet plate," Kunz said. In addition to the orst. second. and third place cash awards. those achieving unique distinctions were awarded special prizes - chocolate trophies from Antoinette's. These included: • The "last ditch effort" award for the contestant who spent the morning before the final weigh-in in a local of 41_1 pounds ·lighter steam N ~ ow, we're not talking about a sim- ple weight maintenance program. We're talking survivors who. having won the Battle of the Bulge, intend to win the war. This newest contest, slated to begin in May, 1986. and end in May, 1987 (that's right, they have to keep the weight off for a year), is open to all those interested in setting a stable weight goal, backed, of course, by cash incentives. All participants will put S50 into the kitty at the beginning of the competition. · "You set a goal v.eight for yourself, which can't be five pounds more than the weight you achteved as of April lOth.'" Kun7 said. "'Anybody can get into this thing. During May we will establish a target wei~ht (for new contestants) and they wtll be allowed to establish that goal."' Participants will weigh in once a month. '"If you weigh more than your maintenance goal. you will be disqualir.ed. However, you can remain eligible by paying a fine of $10 per pound over your goal weight, up to $25." A year I rom now. those still at their maintenance goal will draw for one of four prizes - 40 per cent, 30 per cent, 20 per cent, or 10 per cent of the pot that has accumulated during the year. Kunz recommended that people joining the contest might want to participate in the DINE system; information ts available by contacting Dennison. The main 11dvantage to the weight control system, and to the contest itself, is the "consciousness raising" that both provide. Kunz said. · '"It teaches you how to eat." he said. " You really think before you put that food in your mouth." 0 �May 1, 1986 Volume 17, No. 29 Last chance FES dean pushes for education reform "T By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO his is the last chance we have to reform our educational system," warned Hugh G. Petrie, dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies at UB. " If we don, , in 10 or 20 years the rising tide of mediocrity will have engulfed us." As a member of the executive board of the Holmes Group, Petrie is pushing for some radical reforms of teacher education and the enhancement of teaching as a profession. The Holmes Group is a loosely configured organization of deans from many of America's foremost education schools. The gro up has invited more than 100 research universities from across the country, including UB, to participate in a research consortium to upgrad e the ed ucation and work of America's teachers. The proposed reforms of the Holmes Group include: • · • • Phase out the undergraduate education major and institute a master'slevel progr~ that would include a year-long paid internship in addition to .student teaching. • Link up universities with school districts to establish hprofessional development schools" that are analoj!OUS to thi: medical prof~ion's teachmg_ hospitals. • Develop a career ladder that would allow teachers to advance with· out being promoted out of !.caching. • Develop a program to test people when entering the teacher training program, when leaving, while in the field. and perhaps at other points as. well. • ~ake a significant commitment to increasing the number of minorities in teacher education programs. ctrie said that the universities must work closely with the school districts, state-level policy-makers. certifi- P grams, but U B has only a certification program or teacher education minor for undergraduates.) The next step in teacher training would be a master's-level program. It woukf include an internship to provide a wide range of experiences for the new teacher, he said. The interns would have rotations in different areas with di(Terent experienced teachers. asting a year, the internship would be longer than student teaching. which usually lasts only eight to 15 weeks, he noted . The internship would be paid, although the intern wouldn' be teaching full-time . Student teaching probably would be retained to help people get their feet wet in teaching, he said. but an internship would be more like the real first year on the job. "One of the things research tells us is thai the first year of teaching is absolutely critical," Petrie said. If a 1eacher happens to get in a good chool where he or she is taken under the wing of an experienced teacher, he may do very well. If the new teacher isn't that lucky, he may not do well. As in a hospital internship. these teaching interns would be supervised L '-'If we don't radically reform the system now, . and enhance the ~rr..;-cg~~a~h:~~~~~ ~~~i'cts~ould, be Petrie pointed out. teaching profession, butThisNewcostYorkmoney, State has already made money available for such a program. the rising tide of One of the promising signs is that across the country money is being mediocrity will made available for similar ventures. "There's a chance the policy makers engulf us . ... " see the desirability of these kinds of cation bodies, and teachers' unions. "It will do us absolutely no good to give teachers these ski lls, then send them out to a workplace where conditions are as poor as they are," he said. "Teachers need to be able to do more th iln close the classroom door and do the same thing on the last day they taught as they did on the first day. Colleges of education are saying they can't do this by themselves." The proposed reforms would fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. the dean ex plaiped . "First, a would-be teacher would get an undergraduate del!ree with a liberal arts major in somethang that he would teach in school, for example, math. The ondergraduatc major in teaching would be phased out. (This ste p wouldn' be as radical a change_for U B as it would be for Big Ten schools. Petrie noted . The Big Ten hav<"large undergraduate teaching pro- reforms," Petrie satd. The internship would take place in a "profes.-ional development scho'<ll," similar to a medical teaching hospital. These would be real sohools, not universit y laboratories. Petrie said. Research universities would hook up with interested schoo l districts to rorm working partnerships. W ork ing within this framework would be different levels of teachers. A ··career professional teacher'" would be capable of assuming r<:sponsibility not only within the classroom but also at the school level. Candidates for this level wo uld be those who had been teaching for a number of years and had demonstrated their competence, Petrie said. The univers-ities would provide advanced studies, roughly at the doctoral level. These people~could become mentor teachers and supervise interns. They could become depart~! chairs or do peer coaching and help teachers tmprove their instruccional techniques. At a second level would be the "professional teacher," one who had completed the master's-level training. He or she would be a fully autonomous professional in the classroom. An ''instructor" would be prepared to deliver instruction under the supervision of a career professional teacher. Another reform suggested by the Holmes Group is to develop an extensive performance testing program. "This wouldn) be the multiple choice kind of test you're hearing about now," Petrie said. " It would be based much more on performance. We'll try to work with experts across the country to develop suitable kinds of evaluations." he Holmes Group is also looking at curriculum development for teach'er training. Over the last 10 or 20 years, a significant body of research, some of which is even counter-intuitive. has been compiled on what makes good teaching, Petrie said. · "We want to pull it together in a rigorous and i nt e~rated way anQ make sure that that kmd 9f knowledge is taught to would-be teachers," he said. "The latest research should really be incorporated into teacher training programs." The liberal arts faculties of universities also need to get their houses in order, according to a critical report issued by the group. The liberal arts major often presen ts merely a set of techniques to undergraduates or offers preparation for graduate stud y, he ex plained, rather than focusing on deep fundamental ideas. There is nothing to help the undergraduate sec how specialized disciplines come together, which · is especially important for elementafy-level teachers. The report calls for liberal arts faculties to develop approaches to help teachers put it all together. T t's important to note that the chief academic officers of institutions, not just deans of education, are being asked to jointly commit their institution s to the research consortium, Petrie said, because th e reforms involve the whole insti tuti on. The decision at UB is up to Petrie and Provost William Greiner. Petrie said he anticipates the provost will agree to join. The invitation to UB to join the ~on­ sortium does not mean this University is en tering an adversarial relattonship with other local teachers colleges, such I Dean Hugh Petrie as Buffalo State or Canisius, Petrie sa id . U B was invited because it offers doctoral-level research while the others just do teacher training, be explained. The universities that were invited produce only 20 per cent of the teachers in the nation, he added . Once the research is co mpleted, there's no mandate lhat ot\er colleges must adopt the findings. Petrie said. But if somethin g is found that works , other colleges may choose to usc it. Petrie said the response he has received from virtually every fa.c uhy member, teacher, and school board member he has discussed the proposed reforms with is that they sound great, but will. they work? After all. they've never been tried before. "Well, let's do it then," Petrie said enthusiastically. " If everybody's con- "One proposal is to phase out the current undergrad major in education and replace it with a master's program with a year -long paid internship. " vinced it's a good idea, and that it will radically improve teaching, then just because we've never done it before is no reason not to try. " mea n a very ambitioUs, longItial.ttermwill effort, but it's absolutely essenhe said. Up until 10 years ago, the school system could be run "on the cheap" by exploiting bright women and minorities. "But demographics don' allow us to staff the way we did in the past," he said. While there are good social reasons for that, it's going to damage the educational system if we try to just put warm bodies in the classroom rather than make teaching more attractive. Without refo(tns, Petrie sees the dropout rate worsening and the whole system falling apart. Even though reforms -can be expensive, we can't afford to jusl muddle through. What it comes down to. he says, is ...yo can pay me now or you can pay me later." 0 �Three researchers, including himself, interviewed retired Air Force personnel UFOs independently and were told the same thing: in 1967 ·and 1975.

Hastings claims that retired military personnel have offered sworn affidavits that they were involved in similar recovery operations. He also referred to Victor Marchetti's book The CIA and rhe Cull of Intelligence. According to Hastings, · Marchetti stated in 1979 that while he was an assisf~nt under CIA Director Richard Helms, the CIA was involved in recovering the wreckage of ships that contained non-human bodies. However. the Reporrer could find no reference to such incidents in Marchetti's 1974 book . Has tings also recommended the book Clear Intent by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J .

This COB provision preven ts duplicate payments and over_P.ayments by insurance plans: payments wall never exceed 100% of a charge. For uample, if you or your dependents are covered by an additional group health insurance program, your State Health Insurance Plan will coordinate benefit payments with that other program. One program will pay its full benefit as the primary insurer of the patient and the other program will pay secondary benefits. if and when needed . Question: How would I know who the primary insurer Is tor myself and my dependents? Answer. The primary insurance carrier for you would be the plan that you carry through UB. Your spquse's phin would be your )eCOndary insurer. Your deetndent children's primary insurance earner would be the plan that the father carries (unless the father has individual covcra~e), with the mother~ plan as the secondary msurer. Question: What Is the major purpose of the Coordination of Benefits provision? Answer. Coordinating benefits helps to contain the cost of health care while saving you some out-of-pocket expenses when balances remain after one carrier has made its claim payment. Both the State and the employee benefit trom such manl'gement.

I .t's been referred 'cosmic to as Watergate' a and I tliink that's a highly appropriate analogy,'' Robert Hastings told the audience of about 100 people gathered in Knox J.,ecture Hall. April 22. In a speech sponsored by the undergraduate Student Association, Hastings declared that unidentified nying objects do exist and th at the highest levels of mili1ary and intelligence agencies have been conce rned about them for years. However. these groups have waged a campaign of secrecy about the sightings to av.oid public panic, Hastings asserts. •· Persons at very high levels are being faced with significan t information and deciding th at you and I should be kep t in th e dark about it ."' he said . While not condemning aRy particular agency fo r secrecy, he called the policy "shortsighted." As 'l,n " Air Force brat" in 1967 . Hastings said he was at the air traffic control tower at Malmstrom Air Force Ba.\,C in M ontana when he was involved in a sighting that remains confidential to this day. He ·and the military personnel there saw five objects that 'were clocked at 4.800 miles per ho ur far faster than any U. S. or Soviet aircraft. Hastings said. ·The objects hovered and a..~ ccndcd in u n i ~ on . While being tracked. they maneuvered o ver nuclear silos ncar the base. The incident made qu ite an impresstqn on Hastings. In 1973. he started interviewing retired military personnel and researching the subject of UFOs a~ a very serious hobby. Since 1981. he's been doing research and speaking on the to pic full time. · A media specialist and photographer by profession. Hastings worked at Northern Illinois University from 1973 to 1981. A supervisor in the film library there told the Reporter that Hastings was an everyday type of person who started his UFO work while in Illinois. · I' By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO orate practical joke. I assure yo u it's none of those things." Hastings said his information came fro m declassified government documents. from documents obtained through lawsuit. and from mililary personnel. In 1969, the government and military ·declared that they had no further in terest in the phenomenon of U FOs. But A astings claims that, instead, the information hOb been secret!)' dircl:ted to the CIA, the White House. and the National Security Agency, an agency -so secret that even its charter is classified. • According to the documents, Hastings said. the CIA has conducted a campaign to convince the public that U FOs arc ordinary objects that were misidentified. It 's an effort to minimize. public concern. and possible panic. The documents also revealed that there were sightings around military bases. research and development areas. and atomic energy facilities. he said. "There are enough nuclear-related cases to ind icate (the U FOs) are highly interested in .our weapons capabilities, .. he said . "for what reason they're interested . I don 't know," n the slide presentation Hastings IHistory" produced. he outlined 'The Hidden of UFOs. · . The first wave of sightings came in 1947 when people in every state but Georgia and West Virginta reported seeing UFOs. The objects were disk.shaped. hovered. and moved at incredible speeds. They were seen by the pub- ~~~db~i'e ~~~~~('ffci~ti~n~~;C:tro~ii~ sites. Th<lloflicial word was that they were just natural phenomena. such as solar renections from clouds. But in a rililitary letter wdtten in 1947 and finally decl assified 20 years later. they were ~i~~~~.... real .. an~t visionary or ficti.F.

A n:port written in 1948 concluded th~t UFOs are interplanetary space- W with authority during a well-organized ell-groomed and ·dressed in a . dark suit and tie. Hastings spoke presentation at UB. Even if his claims seem outrageous, as a person he appears quile rational not the crackpot one might expect. ··r•m presenting this on a take-it-orleave-it basis.'' Hasti ngs told the UB audience. ""rm not a missionary: I'm not seeking converts or believers ... He prefaced his slide presentation this way: "What you're about to sec and hear you might think is science fiction, paranoid delusion , or perhaps an elab- ships for investigation of our world for some unknown rea o n. Hastings said. It was di:cidcd that the matter should be kept a secret and a ~ hort time later a press release was is ued saying that UFOs are a h"oax. he charged. . . In 1953, the CIA took over the matter of U FOs. A group. called the Robe.rtson panel wanted a secret campaign .on th e debunking. of UfOs to reduce public interest. The Air Foree &et up formal procedures to report UFO and fo rbade, release of the informa tion to the press. he said. An order called "JANA P.).46" e>tablished a top-sec'ret cha niief foi all military pilots to report on U FOs while they were still in the air. rather than wait until they landed . The Pentagon also decided to impose the order on commercial l?ilots. The pilots protested. but the airhnes agreed · to the order. Under espionage law. violation carries se'erc penalties. n the 1950s. many incidents of , alleged contact with UFO occupants were reported. but were concluded to be hoaxes. However. one incident from the fall of 1961 is regarded by many researchers to be: genuine. H&ting said , Two people named Betty and Barney Ho ll were driving tn rural New Hampshire when they sav. a FO and heard a beeping sound . The ne" thing the~ kncv. , they were mile~ dov. n the road and couldn't account for two hours of time. Through time-regression hypnosis. the couple reconstructed the mb~ing time. Thev ;aid th ey were taken aboard a spaceship by alien being:.. given medical exams. and shown a map of the aliens' home b:lse and other solar systems. The Hills satd they were told by th e aliens that they would not remember their experience. A radar report said that a UFO was spotted at the time and place claimed by the Hills. Hastings said . The largest wave of sigh tings took place in 1965 and included a ew York State incident, he said. U FOs were reported over New York City, a Niagara Falls power plant, and a Syracuse power relay station. · At the time of the Syracuse sighting, a massive power failure occurred which was blamed on a broken relay in a Canadian power plant. But Hastings a~serts that a later inves tigation revealed that the relay was not broken: it had been tripped by a power surge. The only paper that tried to follow up on the story was reprimanded by the CIA.

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

"He'd go down in history as one of the world's greatest peacemakers." Bowman claims the President was sold on SOl by a group of "civilian ideologues," not by people fmm the aerospace industry or from the military. These sam'e people are telling him to " hang tough" o n "Star Wars" at all costs. he said. · ~I Advocating that the American people should stop' SDI by convincing Congress to top funding C1f the testing of · these weapons, Bowman said that would give "some future president th~ ·opportunity to end the arms race. "And. by the way, I'm confident that one day sire will," he added. Star Wars Bowman claims it's an offensive ploy :,s By DAVID C. WEBB tar Wars" critic Robert M . Bowman believes that the proposed Strategic· Defense In itiative is not a defensive shirtd at all, but a group of offensive weapons disg~ised a a defense. Advocates of SOl have presented the space weapons system as a peace· shield thot will protect the United States in I the event of n nuclear first strike from the Soviet U n_ion. President Reagan said that the shield will render nuclear weapons ''impo~nt and obsolete." .Speaking to an audience of about 200 people in US's Knox Hall on April 18. Bowman said that high-energy laser be - u~ed to destroy cities. "Recent Department of Defense weapons might studies h<HC shown that . before a laser battle >tat ion is good enough to be really useful against bttllisuc missilc!s. it will be: powerful enou9h to incinerate cities in minutes. causmg the kind of firestorms that consumed Dresden and Hamburg and Tokyo in World War II." he said·. Kinetic energy weapons (s0 phistjcatcd "rock throwers ') cou ld also be turned against the surface of the earth with dcvast~ting effect. "The Air Force ha.!. done stud ies that show that a few pounds of metal - no explosi"e~ at all. just a few pounds of metal properly shaped fired at the earth (P.crhaps with an electromagnelic rail gun) would be able to impact, causing a crater lilo.e a meteor. with the destructive potential of a hydrogen bomb. and that such sys tem~ can be accura&c enough ilnd powerful enough to de· stroy hardened military targets," Bowman s:.~id . A former director of the Air Force's Advanced Space Program Development , Bowman was the first speaker 1n a series of talks and panel discussions that continu.ed through April 19 on the topic of "Star Wars, the Arms Race and the Universi ty." The conference was sponsored by the National Coali· tion for Universities in the Public Interest and others. The conference focused on criticism of the SD I program that was introduced by President Reagan in 1983.

After 23 years here, th e las t six as chair of UB's well-regarded Psychology Depanment, Katkin will poll up stak.es and head fo r the rolling hills of rural Long Island. T here, he will anempt to "rebuild " Stony Brook's dep.anmenl with a team of new researchers that he will recruit. ' Stony Brook hired him. specifically fo r !hal purpose, he relayed, and promised him that he wo uld .get the necessary funds to attract top level·senio r and j un io r fac ulty - people who could eventua lly propel ~he depan menl into the nationa.l academic arena. As for his replacement at Buffalo, Katkin advised that a number of in- S house candida tes have been scouted, but no official decision has been announced. Katkin, recently promoted to leading professor here and a nationally prominent researcher in the fields of btofeedback and psychophysiology, will gel a heft y raise in salary from Stony Brook. But money wasn't the main attraction, he said. Rather a "combination of factors" led him to accept the offer, not the least of which is Stony Brook's .. commitment to the social sciences" which its administ ration is prepared to back" " ith funding . Says Katkin :. " What I've recei~ed from the admi nistra tion at Buffplo is \cry ih.!.pirational rhetoric about the centrality of the arts and sciences. but not a nickel to hack it up. The fact is that over the 23 yea rs I've been here, the Social Sc1cnces Faculty has become stronger and stronger but has gotten smaller and smaller, receiving limited resources and very shabby treatmenL ·· allows T heKatkinjob toat stayStonywithinBrookthe SUNY system , but most importantlY., it enables his wife, Wendy, to make a significant career mO\'e. Currently she is assistant to the vice provost for research and graduate education here; at Stony Brook , she will move up to assistant vice provost , and like her husband , will receive a sizable pay boost. Last but not least, their relocation down~tale will bring the Katkins geographically closer to their two collegeage children who attend Princeton and Yale. Before commining lo Stony Brook, Katkin turned down a job offer as dean a t a private, well respected research university and an offer from a large public research institution in. the southwest. In interviewing for these positions, he realized he dido\ want to forsake his research and student co ntacts for administrative duties. He subsequently concluded th at being a depanme nt chair is as high up the adniiJ1islrative ladder as he cares to 'go. that his absence is bound 10 hurt the unit 's national visibility. He maintains that any hole he leaves will be adequately filled by the additi on of a ··v~ ry distinguished seniJ'r scholar" wh·ose contract is still being negotiated.

Pulling it succinctly, None of these appointments has been jeopardized by hts leaving, Kat kin says. The reason is th at "the department is solid .. and its national reputation is strong, panic ul arly in clinical, cognit ive, and social psychology. · Tho fac t that UB can attract this caliber of professionals speaks highly for his department, K at ki~oints out , as d oes the fact that an increasing ·number of graduate students are securing highly competitive tenure track posi tion~ at some of the nation·s most prestigious institutions. During the past fo ur ye~rs, fo r example, two graduates i n clinical psyc hology - Debbie Kraeme r and J ack Tebe~ have la nded jobs at Yale. Two others, Dan Klei n and Marie Morell, were hired. ·respect ively, by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and UCLA. "Our clinical program is strongly · committed to' turning out leadership people, not just practitioners, so we can influence the field," Katkin noted. Other psychology grad uate stud~ n ts have fou nd jobs in business and industry, including, such blue chip companies as General Electric and IBM . K "It won 't be a picnic, but the potential is there. The administration is committed to social sciences." the unit is "huning for leadership," Katkin remarks, addi ng that his move there is viewed by some as the department's "last best hope." "I'm not walki ng into a picnic," he acknowledges, .. but my impression is that the department has the potential to be truly outstandin$. Most importantly,· there's an admmistrative com- ... mitment to support the social sciences. which I don\ see here." K atkin denies that his departure will have any adverse effect on the UB department, though others would argue hough Psyc holog y at U B has be proud of, so me T much are necessary, in Katkin's view. 10 chan~es if it ts ev!r to reach its goal of becoming a .. major laborator y science depanment." First, Katkin believes the depanment must be "relie~ed of the burden of tarrying the Social .Sciences with regard to enrollments." He explained that when en rollments in the Faculty were shrinking, Psychology was arm-twisted into launching a large-scale master's degree program. although the department was " phillisophically opposed" 10 t)le notion because it "didn't fit with any logical. or coherent educational goal .. of the unit. Simultaneously, the department accepted larger classes of clinical students than it could adequately suppon. .. But we did it," Katkin said. "and it is costly to u in energy, time, and facilities. we·re doing it in order to keep the Faculty of Social Sciences solvent. My concern · is why; why can' the campus administration allocate their resources differently?" Psychology has lo ng been a drawing . card for graduate students, he ex plained, and is strong enQugh to attract . them without giving financial stipends. The increase in these graduate students bas put a "tremend ous burden" on a · unit whose faculty numbe rs have been severely depleted. Each clinical st ud ent must submi t three researc h papers wh ich are tantamount to .. mini-theses, .. Katki n noted, indica t ing t ha t t he requirement involves a considerable amount of fac ulty ti me and energy. nd Albany can't be blamed for ·the · workload situation, he emphasized. The decis ion·s which created the problem and can rec1ify it - are campus-level decisiOns. · "My impression over the years has been that Albany is always !lie villain when sOmething goes wrong. and nev~r the hero when things go well." It wasn't Albany that decided to "reallocate 13 lines from Psycl)91og_ .. ltver the past decade. Katkin said. And w~ile he recognizes that there were reasons for the reallocations, he can't help but think "there are many weaker departments at the niversity that could have been donors ... So ijow is it that Stony Brook can afford to beef up its Psychology Department. and UB can't? Katkin can only offer an "educated guess:" Stony Brook has no school of manag,ment, law or architecture and only a small program in engineering heavily impacted areas. here that have received additional lines to meet student demand . ; Another barrier that must be overcome for tta e UB department to enhance its national image is lack of floor space, Katkin noted. The space alloned to PsychoiO$Y in its future home. Park Hall, IS "disgracefully inadequate,~· he said. The unit needs twice its allotment, Katkin advises, and predicts that within five years the administration will have either to .. split the department" or remove others from Park to make room for it. Katkin officially relinquishes his job here at the ' end of the semester, but plans to return as an adjunct professor once a month for at l east~ the next year to confer with his fo ur advanced graduate students. Though he is excited about his new challenge at Stony Brook (and his new home located on a nearby harbor), Katkin admits that his departure has bittersweet elements. He leaves behind a host of friends and respected colleagues and even more good memories . He may even come to miss .. the Ridge." 0 A Guide.lines set for complaints about administrators uidelines on handling complaints against administrative officers have been developed by !he provost in con!ultation with the deans and Faculty Senate chairman. · This policy will fill in the gaps left by two other policies. explained Claude Welch, chairman of the Facnlty Senate. The first policy, the Un ited University Professions (UU P) grievance procedure, covers contract disputes, he said. Th·e second , the Faculty Senate's standing orders. covers complaints of one faculty member against ano ther. excluding contract disputes. The new policy covers dispu tes that • faculty . staff, or students may have with a dt~ n or chairm:m, 'iaid Provost G William Greiner. The procedures might be used if a faculty member didn't like something that was put in his personnel file, the provost explained. Or; a student might tum to these procedures if he or she didn\ like the way he was treated by a faculty member and gained no satisfaction through the dean. These procedures would not be invoked in judgment matters, Greiner said . For instance, disagreement between a faculty member and chairman over which piece of equipment to buy is not the basis for usmg these procedures.

The provost shall provide for the review and resolution of complaints against deans and members of the provost's staff. No party may reson to a higher level of review without fitst exhausting remedies available at all prior levels of review.

Or are they? Ability tests SATs. ACTs, GREs, LSATs. MSATs. MATs. and a host of • oth ers - are facing increasi ng debate as critics question the validity of the results a nd what they are supposed to measure. The consensus at UB is that the problem with a bili ty tests is not posed by the tests themselves as much as it is by the way the resul ts of these tests are interpreted . "The tests are not limited . It's how they OjfC used." according to Lawrence K. Kojaku , assistant vice University Services. Standardized . ability testing originated in France in the late 1800s with the Binet -Simon scale of in telligence more commonly known as the IQ test. The theory behind the test was si mple: ability could be measured by testing a sa mple of the ability. .Wjdespread use of stand a rdi zed tests began in this country after World War I. ";hen educators, faced with increasing numbers of students continuing and completing their educations. discovered a need for an "objective .. means of evaluation. Standardized testing increased funher to meet the needs of the pbstWorld War II baby boom . And today. nearly a century after their ince ption, the average stud ent will face standardized ability tests anywhere from six to 12 times before he or she graduates from high school: a child who falls outside what is considered to be the norm in terms of school performance. ~oc ioeconomic status. mother tongue, or who has a handicapping condi- According to the National Research Council report. no.

Tests can provide reasonably good ind ications of whether an individual can read and comprehend ce rta in materials or whether he or she can solve certain types of mathetnatical, mechanical, or other problems.

Coaching is a more co ntroversial fac· tor. Many argue th at coaching is effective only fo r reducing test anxiet y or increasing test-wise ness. Others claim that th eir techniques can raise scores on . for example, the Scholastic Ab il ity Teso (SAT) by as much as 200 points. but say little or nothing abo ut enhanc· ing the abilitic the tests are meant to measure. And. according to the report , ··coac hing effects that inc rease test scores but not the abilitie~ they arc intended to measure .. . affect the validity of a test." Bias is another common cri ticism leveled again~t sta nd ardized tests. The most ardent op pone nts complain th at ability tests are slan ted toward the white male middle clas~ portion of our po pu la tion . ma~ing it impossible for anyo ne ou tside that group to co mpete. Others argue that while differences in tc t scores arc noticeable. the a lso are negligible. · . "' Wh~n ability tests. are oaken by differe nt groups 1n ' the population (e.g .• men, women, children of parents with diffe rent socioeco no mi c statu s. blacks.

In addition, the si1c of the differe nces between group averages is usually s mall compared to the variability among individuals wit hin a si ngle g roup." according to the RC re po rt. S orne of the mo re notable differences cited in the report include: sodoecnomk staws. with children of ONS: ISKI mance on the job as the tests they were intended to' replace, with group differences found to be of a magnitude similar to the commonly-used standardized tests. "The simple existence of group dif· ferences in avera_ge performance on tests is often taken to imply that tests are biased. It is assumed that one group is not inherently les able than the other and that ti\_C tests are su p· r.osed to measure inherent ability. Even tf the first of these assumptions is correct , the seco nd certainly is not. .. . A test can only measure developed ability ar· a given point in time; and the level of de ve lopment depend s on a combina· tion of factor • including heredity and expe rience," says the RC repo11 .

" Wh at is th e (SAT) test for? The test. is to predict perfo rmance in college." said K<>jaku. ''The tes t score says a person's abilities fall into a ce nain range ... "That can be a mixed blessi ng in tl1e earliest testing sit uations. those th at occur in eleme nt ary and . secondary >chool, and mold a child's future academic experiences. "Education has come to be treated . .. as-a measurable. quantitative product. with tests the (avored ins trument of measurcmeru of the product." accoi-d ing to the NRC' repo11 . Ofte n, th e expectat ions placed on the education process, as a result of the ideals of testing. arc: unrealistic. "As a ma tte r of govern men tal policy and public expectation. the Uni ted S tates expects ed ucati on to be a major instrume nt of social change. placing on sc hoo ls. :idministrawrs. teachers, and pupils the task .of reversing t he effects of poverty, disadvantage. and discrimination ," the re port ays. This can place an unfair burde n on the limitatio ns of ability testing, at the worst ex treme. However, these idealistic expectations can. and sometim es do , perfo rm the way socie ty wo uld like them to. "The teacher is as likely to usc cues such as dress, language. and other classroom-linked information as (he or she is to use) test data. Testing see ms to innuencc placeme nt decisions when a score ind icates hig her abili ty oh an the teacher anticipated . Thus, when used fo r grouping. tests occasionally provi de a n 'extra cha nce' for some children." · the RC report indicated. Likewise, the importance of standardized tests as they apply to college students also may be misleading. " Realistically, test scores (and GI'As) are likel y to be a barrier only to th at small group of applicants who want to attend the most selective colleges and universi ties; few students with a high school diploma fail to find an inst itution to accept t·hem. In that sense, public perce ption of the importance of high sco res on the SAT or ACT is mislea~ing: most ap plicants are admitted to the college or university of their choice." according to the report. Here at UB. standardized test scores are only one of a three-part select-ion process. according to Kojaku. SAT scores are given equal importance in comparison with high school grade point average and class rank in determining whether a student will be admitted to the Universiiy. . "The combination of those three is the best predicto r," he said. " I guess the stro ngest is ra nk in class. b.ut th at is somew hat con troversial. too ...

C," contest by margins of 22~ and 4'3 respectively. 0 UB's 'Turtles' ready for upstate tourney By FRANK BAKER T he UB Mad Turtles Rugby Club, the University's most successful team over the past five years and winners of last spring's Upstate Rugby' Tournament (com par~ble to the state championship), returned to their winning ways Saturday in an 18-4 drubbing of the visi ting Rochester l'nstitute of Technology Roaches. The RIT match, played on the Amherst Campus behind the Engineering buildings. started out on a sour note, as lhe visitors marched down field and scored a try, similar to a touchdown in football , to take an early ~lead. However, the Mad Turtles stormed back and evened the score at 4-4 when Sal Savrese bulled his way into the try zorre. U B continued to dominate the tlrst half. but was unable to score. Versatile Scott l..cfko-.~u. a so phomore eightman (a very important position which require th at he step over the ball when it ,co mes out of the pack while still pushing for all he's worth), and senior Doug "Macho Man" Eberle. playing opposi te S"avrcse at prop (a sort of offen sive lineman type of job). controlled the serum tltroughout the half. Jeff Umland, the UB hooker, whose job is to toe the ·ball out of the pack, wa~ able to win most hooks. leading to the Turtles' domination in the half. RIT mounted one threat , but was thwarted when sophomore fullback Tim Burns made a try-s aving tackle. From the outset of the second half. Buffalo was able to· control the now of play. thanks to the crisp passing of sen ior co-captain Sean Perrin at serum· half (a linebacker-like posit ion) to sophomore sensation Steve Molloy at Oy-half (a position re<juiring running. passing, and kicking abtlity). The hardhitting of George "the Animal" $weikert and Mark Wachtel, playing the wing forward positions, where strength is a must, also helped the Turtles put . the game out of reach early in the second half. The two speedy centers combined on On the rugby field, the play Is hard and so's the parlylng. U B's next score. Outside center Steve Juda took a pass from inside cemer and co-captain Jim Walier, made two nifty cuts, and scampered into the try zone. The two-point extra point was missed again, and U B held an 8-4. advantage. Next to score was \Valier, who ran right through the porous RIT backtleld , dodged two would-be tacklers, and touched the ball down. Savresc was good on this extra point attempt , and the score stood at 14-4. FSEC okays appeals system for professional students' complaints he Faculty Senate Executive Committee recently endorsed .new appeals procedures for professio nal sc hool tudcnt grievances. Robert Daly. a»ociatc dean of the Graduate School. explained that an attempt was made to keep the process si mple and direct. .. We tried to streamline th r. process rath er than provide for every possible . co ntingency:· h~ said. According to the preamble of the procedUres. the appeals process is fo.r the rare occasions when all establ ished procedures within a professional school have been exhausted.lt may be ap propriate for the vice provost for research and grad uate education to consider a fi nal University appea l on behalf of the provost. In general. the vice provost will consider appea ls based on a question of the way the process was hand led. rather than on a disagreement over the actual decision that was reached. "This leaves the vice provost out of having to pass on every 'F' and 'D'," Daly explained. "Pebple would appeal them all the way up ... T Lawyers arc not allowed in the process because ''it's against our tradi tion to turn it in to an adversarial situation rig ht at the beginning," he said. It also slowJ; down the process. A bo ut five .or six case!:. have progre.!lsed and ·arc now in the law suit stage, he noted. "'These cases hang around a long time:· Dalv said . "One student has been grieviOg for three years and it lpoks like it11 be good for a decade." An example of the issues disputed is Student who griev~d a grade and won. but was later dismissed from school and feels th ere'!:. a cause and effect relationship. Most of the cases come up in the law and medical schools. he said in answer to a question . Those students feel the stakes are much higher and they sue for what they mig ht have earned. "If we dismiss someone from English. We increase his chances of earni ng a good li vi ng," q~ipped Daly, who is also an associate professor in English . In other Faculty Senate business.

Final score: UB 18RIT 4. The team -agreed that o_ne of the reasons for UB's ability to control the game was that they were able to win many more hooks and li ne-outs than in the previous ,game against the Rochester Aardvarks. Sophomore Doug Flynn, a former Roach turned Turtle. and Ken Bankow, the two second-row players, contributed heavily to UB's winning of the line-outs. U B made it a clea n swee p of R IT by winning both the .. 8 ,.,. or second team n the previo us Saturday, UB travelled to Rochester where they were treated rathe r harth ly .by the host Aard varks, as all th ree UB teams were beaten. The Aard va rks, a highly ranked men's team fresh off a· European to ur, got all they could ha ndle in the "A" game "gainst the T urtJes, but were able to withstand the onslaught and win 13-10. • . A combination of good running, good kicking, and hard 11 itti nt; got the Rochester tea m o ut to a 1 0~ lead, but then the Turtles stormed bacic. Led by senior club president Keh Rocke 's · score, Buffalo cut the lead. to 10-4.Roehester ,addecl a tleld goal to take a 13-4 lead , but •·1as not to get close to another score for tbe rest of the day. UB trimmed the 'lead to 13-8 when Molloy took a beautiful pass f~om • sophomore Matt McCarthy, and rumbled into the try zone. Savrese added the extra points and the score. stood at 13-10. The game then went back and forth with neither team able to grab ' an advantage until Walier broke loose from the Rochester 22-meter line and headed for the try ZQ~nfortunat ely, in a freak plaf, UB's hopes ot victory we re dashed when Walier was hit from behind , thrown into the goal posts. the ball knocked loose, and recovered by Rochester. The final minutes were furious and hard-hitting, but neither team was able to score. Rochester escaped with a hard-fought 13- 10 victory. In o ne of the hardest-hitt ing games of the year that · saw five Rochester players leave t~e field with varioes mjuries. UB's " B" team was defeated 19-14. Rochester's "C" team was also . victorious, winning by a 10-4 count. As is the custom, aJtcr both games the host team threw a party for the visitors, complete with food, beer, singing and general raucous activity. The Rochester party was a bit prudish by rugby standards, but UB's bash for RIT more than made up for it. RIT and UB sang old favorites such as "Chicago," "Swing Low," and "The S&M Man" while downing five kegs of frosty brew. Need less to say. a good ti me was had by all. The Mad Turtles' season comes to a close this coming Saturday and Sunday, whev the "A" a.~d "B" side teams travel to Albany, seeded sixth of 24 teams, to defend their upstate title. According to Sweikert and Eberle, UB is ready. "Turtle-mania will prevail," they chorused. 0 Tests ·From page 9 "Within I0 to 15 years. there is going to be an increase in the number of minority students, and they may not have equal opportunit y in terms of high school preparation," he add ed. o what is a society that advocated Horatio Alger principles to S..Americans. have. on whole, do'! the expected too much of tests and converse ly. have blamed too much on tests. People ha ve wa nted tests to provide social justice. to be •fair' in some absolute sense. And. when disappointed in the results of the testing process. people have charged them with being 'unfair.' wi th producing inequality." lnsteaH , the Nattonal Research Council says. "when people stop thinking of tests as panaceas or using them as scapegoats, when they understand that t estin~ is a useful, but limited. means of es timating one of the characteristics of interest in selecting or asses ing people, i.e., ability or talent, then a good part of the tonnict _about testing will be alleviated." Conven tional ability ·testing requ ires a style that does not show some people and some groups to thei r best advantage. and neglects some skills such as performing cooperative tasks. ahhough the abilit y to work well with others is highly val ued . The shortcomings of ability teSting probably arc not as significant as the problems that are caused by inappropriate test use ...The distance between la boratory conditions and everyday use may sometimes be so great that test users are buying peace of mind rather than scientific selection." the NRC report contends. -Ability test results, unl ike other data, have lim ited depen· d abi lity and significance, yet those who use test results do not always keep the limitations in mind . .. . People who rely on test data as sufficient in themselves often oversimplify eyen more drastically by reducing test info rmati on to a label. " One means of limiting this problem was suggested in an early report by th e College Board, compilers of the SAT. Their rule of thumb recommended that ..test &cores are more certain indi~ of ability than disability. A high score in the test is significant. A low score may or may not be significant.., 0 �April 24, 1986 Volume 17, No. 28 ~ Moynihan will address Law S~hool graduation U.S. Senator Damcl P.

"The audience is wider; it's massive and invisible,'' he says. ''Aad10 is tnstantaneous, 11 doesn't take years to get 'discovered' as it does in print. It's also dtfficult to translate the words I hear in my head and to present them on the radio. A lot has to do with the quality of the sounds which 1s different when I speak them . You have to have a perception of how your voice translates for others." He also recognizes the power of radio as the medium to reach everyone because it cuts across age and special interest boundaries. Twitchell 's commentaries take listeners on a journey Jhrough Buffalo, from chain restaurants to shopping malls, to observing.llfe in the country. Twitchell himself enjoys breaking away from the life of reading ~nd thinking necessary in his role as a professor. and invites listeners to discover a quieter, simpler worid through his words. �ALL THINGS CONSIDERED • Anniversary Chain ·letter ctor/comedian Gene Wilder is kicking off a national chain letter to celebrate th8 tSth anniversary of National Public Radio's award-winning daily newsmagazine All Th ing s Considered. The program is heard on WBFO/FM88 weekdays at 5 p.m. Wilder is an avid All Thi ngs Con- side red fan and a regula ! listener. The chain letter, which takes advant(lge of the old maxim that word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind. marks the program·sanniversary while drawing listeners into the public radio system's campaign to expand its audience. Listeners are asked to send copies of the letter, which describes the prog ram, to ten of their friends, who are asked to send copies of the letter to ten of their friends, and so on . The hallmark of "ATC," as it is called by insiders, is its presentation of in-depth news and analysis, mixed with commentary, interviews, arts features, human interest stories, wit, and humor. " If you already listen to ATC, you're Probably hooked on it," says the leuer •.which is signed by Wilder. "If you don't,'' the letter continues , " you don't know what you' re miss- i ng, and this letter has found its way to the· right person.'' Says Wilder, " I've long been an AU Things Con&Jdered fan and I'm delighted to hel p kick off this national chain letter. All Things Conlldered does a wonderful job of covering the news, but it's also a lot of fun. and this letter is consistent with the spirit of the program."

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

Chodrow contend~ that people in 1 Y PI RG and SA arc sttll m1ffcd by the fact that the Republicans went mer SA'!<~ head to the StudentWide Judiciar) (SWJ) to have the proposition placed o n the ballot for the March election~. According to Chodro". th e SA Senate and A.scmbly resisted putting t h e anti~NYP J RG proposal on the ba ll ot even though those opposing NYP I RG funding secu red the req uired !)ignat ures of 10 per cent of the student body. Chodrow said SA accused . the Committee Against Studen t Exploitation a nd the College Republicans of "deceitful tactics" in obtaining those signatures. SWJ decided otherwise. nstead of barring the Republicans at this point. Verdolino s uggested that the Se nate should more appropriately put the group " on hold" and then investigate them before arriving at a decision on their status.

There has never been real evidence against us. It is just a matter of interpretation of the election rules.

We welcome your comments. President responds to faculty letters about athletics EDITOR'S NOTE: The following let· fer was sent by President Sample in response to two •!elfers he rece1ved from faculty members about the pro· · posed upgrading of the mtercoflegiate athletiC progrf!m. We thought 11 would be of mterest to the Umvers1ty co!'lmumty. hank you for yo ur recent letters rega rding the reco mmendalions !>Y lhe ln1ercollegia1e Alhlehc Board 10 upgrade lhe athletic program at our University. Let me assure you in th e stro ngest po~~iblc terms that I would not tolerate a ny com promise of thi s Universi ty's standard:, of admission. nor wou ld I support any reco mm endation. from any !tOurcc.:. that would undermine tlJc qual ity of o~r undergraduate student body. l-am exlremcly proud of SU Y· Buffalo's reputation rut a leading rc~e arch untversity. and 'the academi~ qualifications of o ur students are an C!<>!<!ential element in tha t rcputatiQ.n. It j, abo a fact that virtually all the firstranked public research uni\'crsi tic ~ in th" countr~ have maJor ~ports prog ram !~ , and ~ nrn not aw;uc of any qud) showing that th e pre!'lencc of \Ul·h program~ impede~ the att:.tinmc:nt of the highc't t.~uality in acadcmi performance. Moreover. almnst all the lv\ League unl\er!<!itles have Dt\'ision I • sport' programs. It is abo \1cry important for rne to clarify the role that faculty representative~ have played in deve lo ping the rc:commcrtdation to upgrade our athletic program. Like you, I a m very proud to'be: an active member of the teaching faculty here at U B. I am also very interes ted in the con tribution that stud ent athlete~ would make to ou r classroom experience. and so I made sure that fac ulty perspl"Ctivcs were promi nently represented on the lntcrcollcgialc A1hle1ic Board . Of I he fifleen member~ of the Board. six are tenured faculty , along with four students. four administrators and one representative of our alumni. The chairman of the board is a tenured professor. as is the Universi ty representative to the NCAA. I >hould also lake I his oppor1uni1y to anform yo u of the status of the lmercollegialc Athlclic Roard reporl and the further consultative actions that I plan to take. The curren t situation is that the Board has delivered their report and made a series· of recommendations. o action has been talcn on tho~e recommctldations. What I have done is to pursue the questio n· of grants-i n-aid. without · which any upgrade 10 Division I would he impossible. Again. I rnuSI no1e 1ha1 all the major public research universities in the cou ntry do offer such grant sin-aid. The funds we·would use to su ppori lhcse scholarships would- he raised by !he Universil y al Buffalo Foundation. and do not represent a diversion of resources that would o therwise suppori non-alhlclic scholarships. Some of !he apprehension yo u indi· ca1e in yo ur leners appears 10 be based upo n a misreading of !he Board's recommendations. The report indicated a lon~·lerm goal of membership in DivisiOn I. wilh our fo01ball 1eam elas· sified IAA. Thus. there b no suggestion whatsoever of a football team that - co mpe1 es in !he Big Ten. In facl. com· pe1i11on a1 Division IA A foo lball would be wi1h various Ivy League Schools. There muSI be a greal deal more dis· cussion and consultation before a.ny actions arc taken to upgrade our alhlelic program. I am sure the Facuhy Sena1e will provide an impor1an1 fo rum for debale and adv1ce, and I would urge you to raise you r concerns wilh your colleagues in the Senate. I am a lso very interested in the views of the other groups in our acadel)lic community. In their recent referendum. the unde rgraduate students have indiculed mong supporl for 11je recommendation to upgrade. There is also evidence of.considerable su pport among alumni and within ·the local co mmunity. All of these constituencies will be. fully consulted before we make a final co mmitmert. D T - STEVEN B. SAMPLE President he says that universi ty athletics is childlike and irrelevant. It is prec isely this reason why athletics belongs in a university. If one is interested only in serious endeavors, then let him leave the un iversity and enter the real world of earning a living on the outside.

The program consisted of lectu res by Cornell facully and former siUd eniS on cu rrent topics in science ranging from the latest m Genetic Engineering to advances in Theoretical Physics. During a half-hour break Saturday aflernoon. I wandered the hundred or so yards to Cornell's stadium where the Cornell-Syracuse Lacrosse game was in progress. As I wa1ched 1he siUdeniS · enJoying a ralher one-sided game. iny mmd called up recollections of my own s1Uden1 days al the J ohns Hopkins Universi1y in Baltimore. The hard work of learning always seemed easier in the s pringtime when the magnolias were · blooming and the Laarossc team was on 1he field . I was struck as I returned 10 1he mee1ing by 1he si milarily of pur· pose of both groups, lhe o ne al mY - meeting and the one at the stadium. Bolh were groups of people involved in getting an ed ucatio n and advancing the s1a1e of our knowledge. Bo1h were al that moment involved in something delighlfully irrelevanl 10 1hcir immediate objectives. And. more imporlanlly, bolh groups were bener pre· pared to carry on as a result of the experience. My colleague from !he Englis h , department is correct when ~e says that ed uca tion is serio us busil}ess. and when endeavo rs. I have long been an advocate for a first-rate athletic program on this cam~ pus (and for firsl-rale anylhing else, for· thai maller) and I strongly suppor1 ·1he present anempl by Presidenl Sample to bring it a bout. I recognize that th is vieW is .not unanimous, and an ticip ate the day when this university can determine its destiny in full and open deba1e. I slrongly rese01. however, lhc efforls of Professor Hochfield and his Gang of 125 10 foreSiall I hal de bat<> by trying to prevent the Trustees from aii<!Wing i1. One could only imagine I he 04tcry which would arise if the Trustees tried to impose a Division I athletics program on us. Just as we do not ask them to do so, neither should we encourage them to forbid it. Whelher it be alhlelics or English. music or engineering. the responsibility for decisions affecting academic life belong> wi1h us. I have never been a member of a varsity team, nor have I ever been an alhlele. Thus, I can speak on ly as a perso n interested in th e impact of athletics on this campus, arUmpact t believe will be overwhelmingly favorable. I will be happy 10 debalc l'rofesso r H ochfield or anyone else on the merits of an enhanced athletics program. if !he op1ion of an a1blc1ics pro· gram is presented to us by a Trustees' decision to permit grants-in-aid to athletes so that the debate is more than just an acade mic exercise.

This situation calls to mind as well the necessity of a University environment iA which teaching is allowed to go on unaffected by similar techniques of intimidation.

T.hcy face trials beginning Aprll 16. We members of the faculty wish to · tx press suppon for these Students who have acted in the worthy tradition of American dissen t agai nst militarism. They follow in the foots teps of Henry Thoreau , who went to jail in I846 for his opposition to the war against Mexico; of the writers and thinkers who opposed the war against $ pain and the taking of colonies at the turn of the cc:n· tu'iy; of the socialists such as Eugene Debs who opposed World War I; of the clergy, student. and oth'C: r act ivists in the I 960s, who o pposed American intervention in Vietnam . During such times in our past a mino~t y of brave dissenters, confronted with ·milita· ris m and mindless bloodshed , elected frequ"e ntly to go to jail in obedience to the dictates of their consciences. Having evaluated the case presented by President Reagan for arming the Contras - o ur proxies in the war against Nicaragua - we are convinced that these st udents, and the others in Buffalo and elsewhere in Nonh America who have also becn·arrested in similar· protests, are correct in their acts ·of opposition. The President's case has fallen apan · when evaluated in the light of evidence by reputable sources, so me of them in the Reagan Administration itself. For instance, our own State Depanment admits that Brazil is not, as Reagan alleged, the target of terrorism from Nicaragua. The President's charge that the Nicaraguan government engages in drug running is disputed by U.S. drug enforcement agencies. The American J ewish Committee rebukes his allegation that icaraguan Jews are being ~rsecu t ed . The public o pinion poll that · Reagan em pl oyed 10 show that Cent ral Amencan:t support his armi ng the Con tras is. according to a re:o.CCHchcr from Costa Rica, a poll taken only among the privileged classes; i1 was a poll 1hat did not seek, nor does il represtnl, the views of ordinary people. So it is not surprising that all ou r sister Latin America n democracies oppose Reagan·s arming the Contras when they see, as we d o, as destabilizing counterrevo lut ionaries Who are merely fro nts fo r American intervention. These same - govern ments ca ll fo r negotiations rather I han for violence and counter-revoluti o n. We agree. The fact that our President has had to resort to bla1ant lies which have been so immediately-refuted suggesiS to us .r.hat he has no case - no persuasive case based upon the truth . Co nsequently, the House of Representat ives has refused his request to arm the Contras. As teachers a nd scholars, we also Wish to address ourselves to the Reagan AdministratiOn's u~ of the charg~ of d isloyalty :t)o!'atnst i~ o pponents in Congress and dmong the American people.

I often answer- " no,"" trying to . gloss over such things as wrestlemania, roller derby , beer chugging contests. mud· or jello wrestling. and toga parties. But after I played splatball last . Friday night at Tona· wanda. 111 have to admit it the next time I go home to Belgium: Americans do sometimes behave like overgrown children. Imagine a dark , 26,000-square-foot warehouse. formerly a steel weldi ng plant , in which 8-foot-high palisadeS' form a complicated maze. Imagine two teams of 20 grown-up men and women. the blue a nd the green. try) ng 10 proceed through the maze in search of the other team's fla_g.

The sport was played in a 20-acre forest a nd the players were dressed in full cam ouflage clothing. The name splatba ll refers to the noise the paint ball makes as it strikes an opponent. Vinnie McCarthy. manager of the recently opened 'Tonawanda Splatshot Center, says splatball is here to stay. " It's like racquetball," he observed. .. It 's starting with a bang, then it will probably stead y down the line." McCarthy pointed out that Buffalo is home 10 the only two splatball cen· ters in the United States. One is located o n Elmwood ; the other (his). at 595 Fillmore Avenue, in Tonawanda, about 10 minutes from UB. A Buffalo State graduate, McCarth y said people appreciate the newl y opened facilities because the maze is movea ble (and can be adjusted fo'r various us.es) and because outdoor splatballer~ can use it to stay in shape dur· ing bad weather.

The opportunity 10 relax after a fruslraling workday is one of the reasons cited by McCarthy 10 explain the sport's anraction ... For students, it's a good way 10 forget about classes," he added. He acknowledsed, too, that the "Rambo-Terminator" craze is pan of it. In fact . a poster of ""Rambo" covers a wall in the equipment room. And the " Miami Vice .. soundtrack serves as background music during "combat." . "People also come to experience the thrill of close combat." added McCarthy. who is also one of three judges looking over the maze and officiating the battles. "One day, when I showed the facili ties to a guy, he started shak~ ing aJI over and couldn't wait to start playing," he recalled . " S plat ball is a sport." insisted McCarthy. "h's a good workout . and although it 's 40° in here, people sweat a lot. But the sport also appeals to people's mental abilities. You never know who's behind the next comer. It also develops reflexes," he added. Because it is a sport, McCarthy noted , some people are bener splatball players than others. "A good player has a good shot, he can hit someone on the move, he unde rstands the maze. he knOW$ when IO Sil back and when to attack." The splatshot center manager said many different people frequent his amusement center. ""We get older peo.. pie who work in offices and want 10 relax ......But most of the center's clientele is made up of U B students, he said.

The participation fee is S 15 which is good fo r three hours of playing. 20 paint balls. and the rental of pistols and face and body shields. Every additional tube of 10 balls sells for $2 each. and on a normal night, an average individual will hoot about 60 balls. Added to that is a S2 charge for each C02 capsule for the pistol. Splatball is not a cheap sport. "But racquetball also is expensive." countered Marabella. In addition to money. prospective players should .consider bringi ng along two pairs of pants. two pullovers, and gloves. The tree-marking guns used by the splatshot center hit their targets as far as 50 feel away and the impact of the bullets on the body is enough 10 cause purple bruises.

Manv of these firms, however, have not been calling on what could be one of their biggest •·customers'' for a variety of reasons, Bacon adds. "Because existing lists of minority and women-owned businesses may be out-of-date by the time they 're printed , it 's difficult for State agencies 10 identify these firms .

T he ad' ant age of the symp osium is that the sales representatives can effectively "call" on more than 30 agencies in one day. Purchasing agents from the agencies will staff booths at the event in order to make themselves easily accessible to the salespersons. Bacon admits that in . the past many small businesses. typical of minorit y and women-owned businesses, . were reluctant to do business with the State because they oft en were not paid promptly.

Yo u ca n dress up. but a tie isn't mand atory. Tickets will cost somew here around S5 and m:ry include all you ca n drink. Wu t7 noted that the Un iversity's lack of liquor liability in's ur ancc and the State's rai~ing of the drinking age to 21 T hi s ·yea r's eve nt is different because it will be si mply a daricc with no plans for dinner. That has u co uple o f advantages: the event will be held no matter how man y - or how few ticke ts arc so ld . Lutz said. and the ticket price will be much lower. · Funding from the Student Alumni Association has already been set aside. so the group doesn~ have to raise a certain amount in ticket reven.ue in order to hold the dance. he ex plained. Whether three students or 500 bu y tickets. Jhe group has a commitment to those students, he added. Another difference between Senior Dance '86 and last year's attempt is ttic location. Last year's event was to be held in a downtown hotel. .. Our location is better, .. Lutz said. " We're on campus. Why have a celebration for seniors held downtown? It's just not the same atmosphere . .. Even though it has a campus atmosphere. the Center for Tomorrow is still a new selling beca use most students don~ go then: often. Lutz no te<j . The dan ce is also a chance to familia rize the new graduates with the Alumni Office. located in the building. . Originall y scheduled for the Student Activities Center, the dance was moved to the Center for Tomorrow because it can acco mmodate more people. Lutz said that with th e courtyard. it can hold 5Q9 to 700 P,COple. This yea r's event also has the advantage of having the structur~· of an establ ished group. the Student Alumn i Association, behind it. The three-yearold group has worked with st udents and parents and has a good reputation on campus, Lutz noted . The Student Alumni Association is • also getting help with the planning and promotion of the event from the Communications Undt!rgraduatc Stu· dent AssOciation, Women in Management. ·Women in Communication. the Engineering Student Association. the School of Pharmacy Student Association , and the undergraduate Student Association. "Well charge a reasonable price and the dance will be o n cam pus." · Lutz. said . " I think well amact a good group of people. " Lutz hopes th e event will expand in future years .. He predicts this year's eve nt is just the beginning of a lon g tradition. -we're setting a trend." he said.

The research wh1ch ~he d1d turned quickl y into a project consi!<lting of observation . interviews. field studies. and attendance at different meetings on the topic. From that project. the idea for a book was spawned . and Levine wrote her hi ghl y acclaimed publication. . "The book shows the way a communit y res ponded to a toxic was te problem:· said Levine. " It deals with how the problem occurred, the people involved, and the gover nment agencies, as well as how socie ty as a whole deals with lhe problem." she added . "The residents living around the waste site were relocated a nd their hom es bought by ' ew York State. The canal itself was covered and remedial measures taken to try to clean up the si te in order to event ually have residents move back io their ho mes," she noted. What's happening now with regard agcncic:~. n~mc a to· the Love Canal situation'! The State of New York, in its infinite wisdom, is contemplating whether or not to move p~opl e back in t o the area . Accordiilg to Levine. a ·panel of scientists is deciding whether or not safety factors will allow such a move. Levine. who keeps in close contact with the si tuation. says that residents of the 453 evacuated homes have mixed emotions about whether they s hould move back to their o ld neighborhood . Some feel it is unsafe and will not move back. while ot hers, so mewhat s urprisingly, say they would co me back beca use that area was ne ver prove n unsafe. T. he State itself has hired an ad hoc ag~ncy to. maintain th e houses so that someday the people can, if they so choose, return . Unfortun a te ly. the harsh Western New York weather a nd a lack of funds have caused maintenance to be far from co mplet e. An article run by the Buffalo News in February add ressed this problem. According to the story. :·Local Love Canal A~ Revitalization Agency officials ar< feud ing with Dr. David Axelrod, state health commi sioner, over diven ing existing home buyout funds to heat and repair \acam homes.

As for the book, it has "d one well," says Levine, and is in it!:. eighth printing. She also no ted that it is unusual for a scie ntific book of this sort to be so successful , which is even more pleasing to her. The book has been rcv1ewed very favorably by everyt hing from engineeri ng to philosophy journals, she added . Besides the book, Levine has completed a slide show presentation about Love Canal that is available in the Educational Communications Center to any professor for his or her class. As fo r chances of a follow-up book about Love Canal. Levine would not rule it out. "The last book started out as a research project , so who knows, ·· she concluded . 0 ·Summer program offers opportunities to top high school students s ummer progn1m for t!J.Iented visi tin g lecturer. seconda ry school students is There is no intention to duplicate being sponso red by UB. what goes on in the high schools.

Bul lhere also are diffi· cull choices 10 be made. For Lee Gu1kind. 1hc realily of o rgan transplants is omnipresent. A n associate professor of English at the Universi ty of Pittsburgh. he has been · researching the effec ts the: transplant procedur~ ha o'n recipien ts. their families and the many others who are involved. and is comp ilin g a book on hi~ research . Gul~ind di>cu.sed "The Transplan1 Ordeal: The Agoni1ing Wail". April 8 in The Kiva. Baldy Hall. Since May. 1984. Gu1kind has been deeply involved with patients and their families awa iting organ transplants in Pinsburgh's Presbylerian and Child· reo's hospi tals. " I am not a medical person," he acknow ledged. noling 1ha1 his· olher books have included s ubjects suc h as his cross~ountry expenences on a mo torcycle a nd his travels with a g roup of Na1iona l League baseba ll umpires. .. , just though t it was time that· !.omeone went up there and saw what palients are going lhroug h ... Presbylerian and C hildren's hospil~ls are amo ng the mqst active centers of organ trans plants, in the wo rld . Gut ~ · kind no1ed. Transplan l procedures being performed - a1 a pace 1ha1 m akes th em relatively routine - inc lud e heart. heart·lung, kidney. and liver. .. Surgeons at Presbyterian are probably doing five liver 1ransplan1S a "eck.~' In addi ti on, he said. Pitts- burgh's medical community also is performing lh e large 1 number of hearl transpla nts in the world, averaging two per week . as well as the " ......--. ·rhe Waiting he concept of an organ trans- greatest numbe r of heart-lung transplants, a procedure 1ha1 has been performed .o n ly 100 limes 1hroughou1 1he world.

They discover 1hey are cri1ically ill and 1hey are go ing 10 die-." he said. "Another thing they have in common is 1ha1 lhey have had one hell of a lime getting anyone to recommend transplantation to them ... Not everyone who ~ccks organ transplan tat ion can be accepted into the program. The eval uation procedure alone com aboul $10,000. and lakes anyw here from IS minu tes to 10 days. depending on how many records the patient b rings and how sick he or she 1s. Gu1kind said. "Then I he doctors decide." Mone y also is a consideration . Presby1erian and C hildren 's hos pi lals will no1 accep1 palieniS as candidales in !heir 1ransplan1 programs unle s 1hey have adequate insu rance covera~e, ''or worse yet. without a cash depos at of at ' least SIOO.OOO,'' he suid . " A lo t of peer pie are co min g from o ther cou ntries. Now I don'l 1h ink 1hey have Blue Cross / Blue Shield in Po land . So 1hese people have to be coming in with money.·· The ra1ionalt behind lhe cash· upfronl policy is. not a matt er of co ld·hearted business practice. but ra ther. o ne of su rvival for lhese hospilals. The average transplant costs S228.000.

A si ngle donor ca n improve - or save - the li ves of as many as six. peop le. For example , Gulkind noted . o n May 2. 1985. a procuremen1 . 1ca m bro ug hl back 10 1he hospilal a liver that was trans p lanted into a woman in her '20s. The d o no r's heart and lungs were implanted in a 42·year·o ld woman. The fol- . lowing day. a 23·year·old man and a 12-year· o ld boy each received a kid· ney . And 1he donor's co rneas were used t o restore the sight of tw o m o re people. E leven mon1hs later, all of lh ese people still arc alive. ''I'm hooked." Gu1kind admit· "" ted. ..1 believe in the transplant process ... But who are lhese people? "The patients go through similar types of experiences initially. They discover they are critically ill and that they are . doing to die. " lion doll ars or more. according 10 Gu1kind. Even when all other criteria for admission to the program are satisfied. success cannot be guar· an teed. First a sui table donor organ must be found. ''Twenty per ce nt., of those on th e transpla nt atio n list die while waiti ng for an organ," Gut ki nd said . Once a d onor is found . time is criti· cal. As a r~su ll, Pinsburgh's hospitals have pioneered a system whereby they se nd one surgical crew to "harvest " a ll th"c o rgans nvailab le from a donor, Gutk ind said . It takes two su rgeons. so metimes thre~ . to go to wherever 1he organs are. perform 1he >urgery, ·and bring lhem back. And lhis mus1 be accomplished in a niatter of a couple of hours. The transplants arc then performed si multaneously in adjoining operating rooms. Four surgeons are required to perform each transplant; compli cations that length en the duration of the opcr· ation mean additional surgical teams will be broughl in 10 spell 1hc lirs1 group of surgeons. A ~inglc tran~plant takes an average of six hours. and ·T\'e seen surgeries go as long as 20 hours," Gu1kind said. w ~~ residen~ was diagnosed in 1983 as suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension. or PPH , and her doctors esti m ated she had two years to live. "She didn 'l gel 10 Pinsbu rgh un1 il August, 1984," Gutkind said. and after an eval uation was accepted as a heart·lung transplant candidate. Gu1kind no1ed 1he risks of heart·lung transp lan tatictn . After a year. th e survi· val rate for recipients is 50 per cent. In other words. one year after receiving a new hean and lungs. half of those patients arc dead. The longest survivor of this type of surgery is the first survi· vor the operation, who received her organs four years ago. PPH patients have been the most succes)ful recip· ients hcart·lung transplan ts; patients suffering from emphy cma. however. .. ha\c been quite unsuccessful." he said. or or Unde1errcd by lhose facos. "Winkle" \\35 put on the li~t of paticnb waiting for a new heart and lungs ... There arc at this time more than 100 people on the list." according to Gu~kind . In November. 1984. she received a call 1ha1 a possi ble donor bad Dcen fQund . An hour and a half laler she was in a jel bo und for Pinsburgh. Bu1 while " Winkle" was being prepped- for surgery, doctors d etermined that the d onor's lungs weren ,t in good enough . shape for a t ra nsplant : they a lso were too _ large for her chest cavity. So .. W ink le .. was se nt back home to wait Another patient. "' Kay."' lived in Aorida. A yo ung womun. her need for a liver transplant was co mpl ica ted by her un comm o n blood 1ype - B. which is shared by only fi ve pe r cenl of lhe population. Because the chance for s uccessful transplantation is greater wilh a n organ of lh e sa me blood 1ype, lhe already limiled pool of polenlial donors was narrowed funher. Almost miraculously, a s uitable d o nor organ was found. However , surgeons were faced with a new problem. ..Eva," another Florida woman, had liver ca ncer. and her condition s ud d en ly had d eleriorated 10 a crisis Slagc. She. loo, had lype B blood . and wilh· out a liver trans plant wou ld die within hours. "Kay ... although ill, was in Sla· ble condili o n. So "Eva" was e lec1ed for the transplant. Late r, after seve ra l mon ths o f wait· ing , a nd as her own co ndi tion wor· se ned; " Kay" co mmented on her frus· 1ra1ion. " I know I'm being se lfish." she told Gulkind.

Aside from se nsational interests that are inspi red by an exhi bit on predic ~ ti ons. the P.rimary purpose of this and other exhtbits that are displayed in Lockwood is to encourage use of the library·s collection. .. In pulling this together, I used a lot of so urces I wouldn't ordinarily touch, .. Hartman said . Non-traditional resources were an importa nt part of pulling together the exhibit. he added . Because of a lack of subject headin gs dealing with predic· tions. word of mouth was vital to his bibliogra ph ic search. B~t after spend ing nearly six months co mpiling predictions and vi~ suals to acco mpany the display, he said •. "the most difficult thing was decidi ng what to put in and, what not to put in ... he exhibit also left him with some T questions aboUl -o ur abi lities to see the fu ture. The most eerie fore~ prcdic~ tion he ran across in his search was an accou nt in J oe Fischer's Predictions rega rd ing an author named Morgan Roberlson. who crafted a premonition of disaster into a novel. "He sat down , possessed by a powerful image of a n 800-foot-long luxury liner speeding through the fog that hung over the iceberg-strewn North From page 16 Atlantic. then typed out these words: " 'She was the l.argest craft aOoat and the greatest of the works of man . . spacious cabi ns . . . decks like promenades ... unsi nkable, indestruc· tible. she carried as few lifeboats as would satisfy the laws . ... •· 'Seventy-five thousand tons - . deadweight - rushed through the fog at the rate of 55 feet per seco nd . . . hurled itself at an iceberg . . . nearly 3,000 human voices, raised in agonized screams .... • .. Robertson called his book The Wreck of the Titan. Thirteen years later, the ' unsinkable· luxury liner Titanic was buill and on April 10. 1912, the pride of the English shipyards sai led from South am pton on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. At 11 :59 p.m. on Monday, April 15, the Titanic ground into an iceberg and sunk at a steep angle, drowning 1,493 of the 2,207 passe ngers a nd crew. So many a re th e si mil a rities between Robertso n's novel and the real-life tragedy that coincidence has to be ruled out. Co mmon to both were the name of the ship, the Atlant ic, the ice· berg, the fog, the liner·s myth of unsi nk.abil ity. the length and tonnage, the number of passengers, the speed of impa.ct, the null)ber of lifeboats and proJl.OIIers, and the unprecedented loss of hfe." · ..

Unknown and seemingly unforeseeable, it represents an amazing frontier. a territory that is vast and unconquerable. Likewise, seers, sages, soothsayers, and other predictors of the invisible, intangible future are awarded a unique respect, the kind of reverence saved for' those with the mysterious ability to tell us what is going to happen before it happens. The magnitude of our belief in · those who portend the future is accented by human nature, that portion of our psyche that forgets the thousands of predictions that are made but never come to pass. "Predictions: True, False, and ?" is the title of an exhibit on display in Lockwood Memorial Library through the end of May. ComP.i)ed by Don Hartman. assistant librarian. the exhibit is a collection of predictions made through the ages, some of them true., some of them false, and some that have yet to be proven or disproven. Lest anyone thirlk we have a clairvoyant in our midst who doubles as a mild-mannered librarian during working hours, rest assured. The exhibit is'" the result of an advertisement that cauglit his eye and tickled his fancy, Hartman said. "I don' have <tny feelings (about predictions) one way or another, .. he said. "The subject really just piqued my interest. .. No wonder. Regardless of their veracity, Predictions have a certain thrill factor. Those that are correct have the capacity to raise the hair on the napes of our collective necks. Those that are incorrect invoke a universal, self-righteous scorn. Regardless, they catch our attention. Not all of what we consider predictions a.re intended to be a peek into the · future. Many are simple statements, or misstatements, Hartman noted , that are afforded mystical status when they come true or elicit ridicule when they don't. Some are separated from us by distance and time. Others are very timely and uncomfortably close. ts.clsi.ev Mad£ reference to 10foot-tal/ robots 30 years ago. 0 a..teshel Sata in 1899 that everything that can be invented has been invented. ne that touched close to home but was not included in the exhibit was 0 published in the January 28, 1986, Exhibit focuses on the true & the false By CHRIS VIDAL issue of the Genera1ion. Hartman said. An article titled "Euture Shock" by Johit Kunz opened with the prediction th at " in the year 1987, the Space Shuttle will crash into a Japanese satellite, killing seven astronauts and eliminating Japanese television for a week ." Coincidentally,· this tongue-in-check prediction appeared on the day the Challenger exploded. Err"oileous predictions that are included in the exhibit can more accura<ely be i:alled misstatements. Hart.; man says. ''Isaac Asimov says that if You say something isn '1 going to happen, you most definitely will be wrong." he noted. For example, Thomas Edison once said he saw no real use for lightbulbs. according to Hartman . Charles Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office, urged President McKinley to abolish the office in 1899, because "eve rything that can be invented has been invented ... Oxford University Professor Erasmus Wilson predicted in 1878 that electrical lighting would never compete with gas. Harry M. Warner, of Warner Bros. Pictures fame, ex~ressed his doubts about -~allting" motion pictures in 1927 when he queried "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" And the Reverend Billy Graham pooh-poohed a group that revolutionized music when he said in 1964 "The Beatles are just a passing phase. They are just a sign of the times." One of the reasons there is such delight in these bold statements that are glaringly wrong when seen in the light of 20-20 hindsight , Hartman said, is that "people like to hear other people being wrong." It is because of sirilar human nature that the first portion of the exhib!t deals with people who pred1cted thm own deaths. Hartman said. be chose that genre as a lead-in "because people are.. morbid, so (the subject) catches your eye." Perhaps the most bizarre example of mortal prediction W";S made by .Robe.rt Morris, Hartman sa~d, and wnuen m Prediclions by Joe Fischer. "Tobacco planter Robert Morris, Sr. - the father of the financier of the American revolution - dreamed IJF'd be killed by the firing of a cannon from a ship be was about to visit. He tried to avoid boarding the vessel, but his fears appeared so unfounded that Predicted lzis life he finally yielded to the captain's would end witli the entreaties, once he'd been assured no comet's next guns would be fired until he'd left. At · d the end of the visit, the captain told - appear.ance- an was. Morris the salutin$ shot would be fired right. only when Morns' party had safely reached the shore. He told !tis $Unners not to fire the salute until he raiSed his hand. But the boat carrying Morris to shore was still within range when. the cartain raised his hand ro brush a fly of his nose. This was interpreted .as the signal to fire, and the gun Was discharged; a fragment hit Robert Morris, wounding him fatally." Harry M. Warner Expressed doubts about t.alking pictures. &rover Oevelancl Noted that 'sensible & responsible women do not want to vote. ' thers have not known how, but when. David WaUencbinsky's The Book of Predictions recalls the demise of Davtd Fabricius. . .. The astronomer and Protestant minister who discovered the variable c;:;star Mira C<ti predicted his death would occur on May 7, 1617. On that gloomy day, he was afraid to go outdoors or see anyone and didn' leave his room. At I 0 o'clock that night, be laid aside his fear in order to get some fresh air. Once outside , he was attacked and killed by a member of his church whom Fabricius had intended to expose as a truer." Similarly, Mark Twain, who was born during an appearance by Halley's Comet, predicted his life would end with the comet's next appearance and was right. Abraham Lincoln dreamed he would be assassinated a few days before he was shot by John Wilkes Booth while attending a play at Ford's Theatre. And Joan of Arc spoke often of the limited amount of time she had to save France from Br itish domination. or course, predictions may have more power than just acting as a forewarning, Hartman said. "Predictions make the future, too. Predictions tend to be self-fulfilling prophecies." For example, he noted, the "technologies'! of science fiction lead to .a "what-if" mentality, and a belief that the technology should · be • possible. Of course when assessing these predictions it is important to keep in mind the technologies of the times from which the predictions come. For example. Hartman said, Isaac Asimov made reference to robots that were 10-feet tall. but that was 30 years ago when vacuum -rubes were high tech, and microchips were just a gleam in a scientist's eye. UB has its own legacy in this collecti on of predictions - Clifford C. Furnas. who in 1954 became the ninth chancellor of the University of Buffalo, and who was the first president of the State University of New York at · Buffalo. "Furnas was quite an optimist with his view of the future," Hartman noted. According to the April 30, 1969, edition of the New York Times. "he created something of a stir in 1941 at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. He predicted the sun's rays would be harnessed to provide industrial power. He cautioned against postponing the necessary research untiJ petroleum resources were entirely depleted. Adequate power facilities , he said. could solve many international prob-lems ...

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

Hi s . rcse<l rch established a significant amount of what has been brought to li ght about the subject. This includes the apparent links between ca rotene. other retinoids (associated with Vitamin A) and fiber and a protective effect against certain cancers. The recent studie~ by Graham and hi s coresearcher~ have al!-.o correlated excessive alcohol. tobacco. meat and fat consumption. as well as obesity, with higher risks for s pe ci fic types of cancer.

Q: If one out of every ten warheads g'ets through, what good is a 90 per cen t defense. Couldn't one warhead destroy an entire city? A: If o ne in ten warheads gets through it !-.till can destroy a ci ty lik e New Yo rk or Washing to n. But in o rd er to do th at. knowing that nine out of ten warheads are going to be knocked down. th e Soviets would have to target th eir who le Mratcgic arse nal against the ci t ic~ of A merica.

Four people arrayed against dozens of tOp· level officials and thou sands of scientists and erfgineers working at the nuts and bolts as~t or this program. Q: It seems as though the most cruoiaf element of this spaoO:.based defenst is the sattllitt. If this is true, donl you tbink that the Soviets will attempt to sjmpfy knock it down? I have read t"e SovietS' have killer llll~llites that un render all of our satellites vulntnoble. A : Those killer satellites aie only useful against completely unhardened, unprotected satellites ·much as we have in space right now. We have not spen t · the money or the effort on harde nmg our satellttes becallst h'b o ne's been shooting at them yet. But before "-C put up our defensive satell ite. screen we will have worked out techniques to make these atellites essentia lly invulnera ble. and .it turns ou t that for a satellite that 's a perfectly straightfor• ward problem. because ate ll ites in space arc weigh tless. You ca n slap u~ much armor and s hielding o n them as yo u "ish at a cos t of ~o much per pound· for getti ng it up there. You cart also put guns on them. and su rro und them with !\pace destroyers. which also · have armaments to shoot down anything th at ap proaches th at seems to be a threat. So we will not put them up until we can protect them. and we arc confident tha t we will be able to do that. Incidentally. yo u can't protect n mi~­ sile, because 1f yo u put one inch of ; hielding on a missile (say the skin of an SS- 18) to give it a litt le protection again~t o ur laser!!, that one inch of 'hielding take> four tons off of the pa) load of the mis!:.ile which wipes o ut i t~ entire abilil y to carry any wa rheads in space. So you make it literally impotent a nd obsole te. You annat pro tect mi s~ ilc~. you ca n protect sa telli tc!l.. and that'~ a consequence or the laws ol gravity. Q: l s n~ it trut that S.D.I. is only effective against ICBMs? And if so. what about the cruise missiles? A: ot o nl y is the S. D . I. effective agai nst cruise m i~ iles. in fact anything that can handle the ICBM threat find• cruise mi ss iles to be a soft snap. but it's a lso effective again st s ubm3rinelaunehed missi les a nd against the SS20s and SS-22> that· threaten Eu rope. The reason is that th e cru i!-.e missile travels through space at the speed of a co mmercial air liner. and a system that i~ si1cd to handle warhead~ trave ling at 10.000 miles an hour ca n knock off a crui!-.c missil e or 'Aarhcad lumbering along at 500 miles an hour very easily.

Sept. 1985). "Such an evaluation," he states. ''can be b,ased o n elementary principles nf phy;ic< and geometry. It seems similar to the problem of judging a perpetual motion r_nachine:· This letter cannot restate atf-\he technical arguments the overwhelming majority of scientists and engineers agree show the president's speech was an illusion. but we can list a few. · • t\11 SOl weapons arc exceedingly complex and complicated. • These weapons ·are fragile and delicate, susceptible. to damage and brea kdown . • T,he SOl system could never be tested under realistic conditions {unless we are prepared to start a nuclear war). • The SOl weapons are tllemselves vuln~rable to attack. . • Counter-measures are 11ow readily available. they are cheap. the technology ex ists. and they would , be extremely effective in neutralizi ng the SOl "defense." • • We would be pulling our~ securit y in the hands of co mput ers. whose software could never be 'realistically tested . 1 Ma.ny compute r scientists believe the software ca nn.Jt be developed . 11!1 The system would be extremely expensive to ·build and service. . • The "shield" docs not protect us fro m midraqge mi siles (SS-IC,.SS-4. 5. 12, -16). submar ine based missi les. cr uise missiles. etc. There are mo re than technical reaso ns for o pposi ng .. Star Wars .. on un iversity ca mpuses. We will now raise five proble ms we see SOl as 'pOsi ng for the un ive rsi ty community. We believe the faculty must cOnsider them se riouoly b<:fore supporting SO l. J'hcse problems are: I) Concentration of iesearch monies. Concentration of funds for academic research in the Department of Defense (DoD) generally. and in SDI. specifica ll y. poses real pro blems fo r the un iversity. Since 1980. DoD funding for. university researc h has grow n fro m . $495 million to S930 million. a n 89 per cen t increase. If DoD fund ing to offcampus affiliates like Berke ley's Live rmore Labs and MIT's Linco ln Labs~ take(l into acco unt. DoD now spends more than the Nationa l Science Foundation on university research. In 1985. SO l. in its first yea r as an academic program. received o nly $28 million . However, it is projected w reach $300 million by I ~K8. This co ncent ration of resea rch in a single agency means that the stability of un iversit y research programs is linked to the po litical fortu nes of o ne organilation. While Do D presently see ms ve ry powerful. "ihe university has suffered in the ' past from being tied too tightl y to this ~gcncy. During the Vietnam war. DoD supplied more than a quarter ol all federal dollars for academic scie nce. When so phisticated research did not aid in decisive military victorie~. Presidents J ohnson and Nixon became cri tical of Pentagon spending o n academic research. When the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam. Congress wi thd rew support from DoD and uni,•crsi ty research. The ''S ta r Wars .. program is as unli kely to co me to a successful conclusion as was the Vietnam war. Aside from its technical problems, o ther hazards abound . The adminis tration might change, agreeme nt with the Soviets o n a rm s control cou ld be reached. a nd accide nt - like th e C hallenger or worse - is possible. Any of these cou ld sharply reduce fundi ng, cutt ing unive rsi ty resea rch ca pabi lit y. as was the case following th e Vietnam war. Instead. uni ve rsities should sec k a diversified research develop ment strategy. 2) What happens when the national science agenda is set by the militnry? A number of prob lems a rc likely to ell)erge when. as in the case of SOl. . military o bj cc ti \~~ dl!tcrm ine the national scic! n~e agenda. "Star Wars" has quite specific' technical objectives which. whether they are possi ble to reach or not. direct scientists - physicists. mathematicians. ~ ngin eers of all varie ti es - toward concrete problems which ma y or may not be enco mpassed by current theo retical pers pectives. If -technical demands are beyohd theo retical reach, "Star Wars., may serious~y distort developing pa radigms. with unforeseea ble consequences for the several scie nces. Concentrating nat iona l resources for the un iversity on SOl creates other · problef9S. Scientists· arc unable to · address a host of other problems - for example. development of malaria or · AIDS vacci nes. or safe and reliable contraceptives. A science agenda set by tfie .military turns reseatch away from the problems faced by the ciiizenry. Eve ntually. this could mean a lack of popula ·su pport for uni versit y resea rch funding. Defenders of ''S tar Wars" ' resea rc h oftert arg\le that the citize nry benefits • from the spin-offs~f military research. especially in terms f high technology economic growth. hilc s pin-offs do occ ur, the ir efficie ncy is increasingly called in~u estio n . Japa n and West German y, it i$ argued. are often a ble to out-design and out-engineer us because they are not building products to wi thstand nuclear blasts o r deep s pace. As a res ult . .they ca n build cheaper. more Oexible anp efficient high technology products than the U.S. a nd co mpete more successfully in glo bal markets. 3) Political Implications of Accepting, "'Star Wars., Monies. 'Many scientists say that they can accept SO l mo ney without accepting "1here en more than technical reaSons for apposing 'Sa Wen' an the cmnpuses." SD I. Some a rgue that SO l will not work, so th ey should take the money a nd pursue their own research objectives. Others argue that fu nding agencies we.rc providing money for the components of "Star Wars .. long befo re there was a progra m. These compo. nent s - lasers. super comp uters. energy stOf'agc. :-.emico nductors wou ld be developed with or without SD I. so why should scientists hesitate because of the "Star Wars" label? These arguments arc somewhat i~en u o u s. When scientists accept •·star Wars" money th ey. at the very least. formally endorse "Star Wars." The Innovative Science and Technolo~ Pfogram, which runs the research co mponent of SO lO. is well aware of this. Indeed , SOlO and the administration sec un iversity participation as crucial to "Star Wars' ·· success. University partici pation legi timates SDI for the wider society. Universi ty scientists. o nce co mmitted to SOl. are likely to become a for mid a ble )obby fo r co nt inual increases. as are the defense contracto,..., "ho ~uppon more monic~ fo r the weapons s~stems they a re developing. 4) S<erecy and Classification. T.p date. Dr. James A. lonson. directo r of the Innovative· science and Technology PrQgram, ha:. stressed that S Ol contracts are not classified . However. unclassified status has little meaning in light of Execut ive Order 12356 (April 1982) and the Preside ntial Direc- · ·tivc o n Safe-guarding Nat i~ nal Security lnfo rmauon (March 1983). In the words of the AAUP. these allow research wh ich is .. bo rn free .. to ..die classified ... Und er these o rd ers_. eXecutive branch agencies are able to halt the presentation. publication or mere sc holarly exchange of papers not classified. nor drawn from any classified so urces. Given these sweeping, powers. ' it is 'highl y un like ly- that researc h as . cent ral to national defeq!)e. aS SD I will re ma in unclassified lo ng after in itial contracts are let. The sec recy that comes wi th clasSified research poses a number of se riOus prob lems for univel'§ity ,,cho lars. O n many ca mpuses. classified research is pro hibit ed. Wh at happen when a contract is classified o n a campus wilh such regulati ons'! Classifica ti on and secrecy di srupt peer review. C lassification makes criticism a nd know l edge~ a ble di sc ussio n of cont r over~ia l prog rams such as ''Star Wars" almost impossib le. Fina lly. the abilit y of the executi ve t6 engage in ell! fac·w classification withou t an y clear criteria ma ke::-. all academic Work- precario us. Scholarly meetings dealing with unclassified work have bee n cance lled in areas . ranging from photo-optic instrumenta tion to bubble memo ry. Publication of unclassified research dealing with crypto logy problems has been prevented. Until the university is able to se parate its interests clearly and publicly from an eve r more broadl y construed concept of nati o nal security, all technical research is s ubject to d e faciO classification . and academic freedom becomes impossi ble. 5) Shifting Resources and Rewards within the University. The large amuunts of mone~ likely to be involved in SD I mean some fields, departments, and schools will have a· great deal more fu nding than others. Those areas most li kely to hcncfit a re the physical scie nces and e ngineeri ng, which are heavil y staffed by .middle a nd upper middle class white males. Whil e these field s have increasing number of fo reign students. it is unlikely that they will be allowed to r.articipate in SO l research. especial!) 1f they are from cou ntries not on the best of terms wit h the U.S. So long a> SO l is o ne of the central research programs in the universit y, those most like ly to have an abunda nce of research reso urces are those who have tradit ionally benefitted from advanced degrees . The groups that struggled so hard to gai n access to higher education in the 1960s and 1970s - blacks, women. minorities. and the poor - are unl ikely to s hare in this largess. For all these reasons we ask o ur colleagues on the fac ult y and ir\ the administ ration to consider their participation in the SOl program carefull y. Do we want o ur univers ity to be as o~ ciated with this program? Is SO l money a ppropriate for the uni ersity'! What are the long and short term con· seq uences to our institution when we acce pt these fund s? These are all issues we cannot take lightly. - JONATHAN REICHERT, Assoc,ate Professor of Physics - SHEILA SLAUGHTER, Assoctate Professor of Educalton.

Karrer, director of Student Finances and Records, has asked the Facult y Senate to c hange UB's policy to conform with the State's. The Faculty Senate Executi ve Committ ee appoi nted a co mmittee to stud y the iss ue, lncludi'ng the possibility of innuencing the State to cha nge i1s poli.cy. The controversy centers around the amount of time a stud ent is all owed to finis~ an incomplete or " I" grade. UB allows students 15 mon th s. For TAP, the S ta te mandates that the ·· J" be finished the se mester afte r it :was incurred. The . problem comes in whe n taki ng an " I" grade causes a stud ent to fall below full-time status or to fall short of the State':, rules on satisfactory progress. ·A student mu>t be full-time (comple ting at least 12 credit hours) to qualify for TAP. Karrer said. In addi-. tion, he or !)he must accumulate a ce rtain amount of oredits. depending on his Incl. each semester. (This affects juniors to a· greater degree because more ,is expected of junior~ than of fre~hmcn and S(lphomorcs.) Taking an 'T' grade 1s not considered cumplcung a course. If a student take~ an "I'' in the fall ~cmc~tcr and it tip~ h1m bc\ow full tima. he or she has unti·J the end or the spring semester, according to State tulcs. tO make up the work. Karrer said. Ouring the ~pring scmeMcr. that student's I A P award is put in to <1 "pending" categor). I( the student completes the work. he or she 1s awarded th e money for the spring semcMtr. If the student doesn't complete the· work. Karrer said. the ~ tudcnt owes th e 'U ni ve rsity the amount he was to get from T t\ P fo r s pring . A "check-stop .. is put o n the student's accou nt. If he or she tries to preregister for the nCxt fall. the registmtion v. ill be reJected because money is owed. Compounding the dilemma is the absence of a procedure to inform the student. Karrer said . The st udent may not knov. until he or she retu rn s the next fall that he owes moncv and isn't registered for classes. · The Universitv tries to collect the amount of TAl; money Ol'ed by the student. If it j!, unable to collect. the ath1rney general's offic~ ~ueo; the student. All th i~ may take the student by surpri;c becau;e he thinks he has 15 month., to make up the 1ncornplete. .. Thc~c ~rc all he a\ y con!,cquenccs not understood by Mudcnts." Karrer sa1d ... PeoPle who do the counseling are nut aware of the monsters the y create by tclhng a Mudent to ta~c an incomplete. h sounds so easy. "The student gets caught in the middle of this misunderstanding of how the grades affect him." Karrer noted that getting an "F" is considered completing a course. However, the State rules on satisfactory progress require a student to maintain a 2.0 average and the ·F· may also jeopardize financial aid. U B's policy setting a 15-month limit was established in i 984. Before that, an " I" grade could exist indefinitely. . TAP's policy on inco mpletcs is not new, Karrer said . but for years it wo.!!.n't e nfoFced . He said he expects federal financial aid agencies to follow su it with tighter controls. Walter Kunz, dean of und ergraduate academic · services. noted that pre~ . viously, students were certified three or four weeks into the !,emester as carrying a full load . A stud ent cou ld· drop below full time later thal semester without financial aid penalty. Npw audito rs are checki ng stud ents at the cnd,..of th e semester. The purpose ·of the State's rules o n smisfactbry progress arc to assure that insti tuti ons don't allow st udents to lin- ger while the sc hool uses their financial aid money. Kun z wants to assure the State that U B does have standards in place and students must -make progress - they can't hang around here .forever. During the dlscusslo n at a recent Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. members questioned whether this is an administrative issue or an academic issue. Who s hould make decisions on the pol icy? ' I (!on' want to ba5e a pedagQgica l decision on a financia l policy," said Dennis Malone. professor of electrical and computer engineering. He argued that as long as s tudents are informed of the potential proble ms. they have a choire. They can choqse to make up the work in om: .semester rather than tak e the 15 month s allowed by-U B. " I don' see how changi ng our academic policy would d o an ything besides being a bit of com munication." agreed Ronald Hause r: associate profe sso r of mod e rn languages and literatures. . · · A change in.. the policy would force all students, nb t j ust th ose receiving firtancial aid, to complete "I" grades in a shorter time, he pointed o ut. $20,000 in aid questj.,oned M ore than 20.000 in Tuition As~istaOl'C PrOgra m (I A I>) payments credited to st u~ dent accounh at lJ R arc being !teriou~ l y questioned by fteld audi""' from !he Office of the State Cumptrollcr. according tn William H .

If it i~ decided that UB was incorrect in making payments to the students, the l·hghcr Education Services Co rp or~ tt ti on. which administe r!!. 1 AP. could ask UR to retu rn the fund~ . This would mean that . in rctro~pcct. the student was ineligible for the aid and could be billed for the amoun t he received. Baumer ex plained. "1 he party at ris~ is the student ." he ~aid. .

The University doc>n't record a student ·~ intended major: it only notes when he or she is actually accepted into a depa rt ment. However. recording intended majors may be sufficient for TAP requirements. although that's no t clear. Baumer said.

Baumer .,aid. 0 "The Faculty Senate has a concern, which is reasonable. that administrative policies shouldn1 override ac;ulemic j1olicy," Karrer noted. "Unfortunately, de facto, the State policy governs." If the Faculty Senhte agrees that in ordinary cases an ··1· must be made up by the following semester, then docu mented e,_.ptions to the policy. such as when the instruc_tor is away on sabbatical that following 'Sem~ter. can be defended. he said. What can' be defended is if the Universi ty blithely ignores the State's policy. he _added. A I the meeting, faculty senators offered a nqmber of alternatives . to changing UB's policy. Kun z contends that technically, OB doesn' have "l's" at all. If the student co mpletes the work, he or she gets a fi nal grad'e. If he docsn' complete the work. l'le gets a default grade which is . also final. , · C harles Petrie. associate professor in com rTl\lnicatio n. suggested that instead of givi ng an " I" followed by a default grade. such as l/ F. the · sequence be reversed t o F { l to a ppease jhe apditors. Karrer said his guess is Yhat if that is seen as an auempt to circum'Vent the State's rule. it would be thrown out. Other uggestions concerned fanc y bookkcepi n~;~. For instance. an "I" could turn mto a default ~rad e at the end of six months . but a dafferent final · grade could be substituted if the work is completed at the end of 15 months. Karrer noted that some of theM: sol utions can't be accommodated on the co mput er now. · "The system could be redesigned. but that's a major piece of work," he said. Petrie saad that trying to co mplete an .. , -in one !temester. on top of carrying a full load, is Joo much wor~. Barbara Bono. assistant profe~so r of English. ;uggested that th~re are sound academic reasoris to go 10 the onese mester limit. A student making up an " I" shouldn't be overloaded because he is supposed to be making up o nly o ne piece of work. such as a paper or test, n~ redoing all coursework. She added. however. that UB students. who are expected to co mplete an average of 5 I J3 credits per semester. are asked to take too many credits to graduate. Karrer said he is trying to work out a co mp romise on the mauer of .. 1". grades with the ew York State Higher Education Services Corporat ion which administers· TAP. "However. the indication is .that they're not the least bit in terested," he said. Their atti tude sccm!l to be that these are the rules that UB must follow if it wam~ aid for its students. "The contention is that everybody else in the sys tem is doing it.'' Karrer said, adding that UB has been accu ed of having a' certain amount of inde· pendencc and arrogance.

By GERALD O 'GRADY 0 n Wednesd_ay evening. April 9. English and Art teachers from alf of the public and private high schools and colleges in the Western ew York region were invited to ~ special Buffalo premiere sc reening of "The Adventures of Mark Twain ... the first feature-length film produced by the new technique of Claymation. The hosts were Dr. Leslie Fiedler, the Samuel L Clemens Professor of Literature, and myself, and we were joined in, a post-screening discussion by Dr. Victor Doyno, a Twain. scholar from the Department of Eng-· Jish. Paul Sharits. the Media Study filmmaker, and Hugh Kennedy Tirrell, a Buffalo native and the Execuiive Producer of the film. Claymation is an entirely new' technique invented by Bob Gardiner and Will Vinton, the film's producer. After a story is scripted, designed and storyboarded with dialogue , a black and white Jive-action 16-millimeter film is shot in which the actors. wh o will provide · the voices for the clay figures. actually appear, having re hearsed their roles as in an ordinary play. Vinton chooses actors trained for the stage rather than film . because they emote better and more dynamicall y project facial expression.s and bod y gestures. This film i> known as the reference film. Once this so und-synch film is shot. a complete musical track. with _many s pecial effects, is created so that on the next phase of production, the singleframe photography of th e claymated figures thei r movements can be orc hestrated 'to the beat. What is entirely unusual about the film is that each of the clay characters, which is now manipulated in accord wtth th~ previo usly recorded voice and _muM, , has 1ts own claymator, one of Vmton s spe- · 11 t ··• ~ed designers , who has served Cia y I a • . · . • :n "the preCISIOn ~n apprenucesh•p "; , - •• , clay mcrements of movement. tH"'" ............... r :c ohnut 12 to 14 inches tall 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' is the first feature of its kind and constructed on a special steel frame with joints in its arms, legs. neck and torso to allow for nexible and variable moveme nt s in three dime nsions. Each claymator alters the facial expression and I or the head and bod y of his character for every frame, that is 24 frames a seco nd or 130.000 times for the 90-minute film . Given the number of characters in any one scene. · and the variations of the set. there are SO to 60 changes mad e befo re each frame is shot. sequence. When all claymation scenes arc shot. the film is given a final editorial ti¥htening and voices are so metimes substituted or added to transiti ons. The film was en!irely shot in a 5000square-foo t studio in Portland, Oregon, although the Mark Twain portio n of the live-action reference film. which features Buffalo actor James Whitmore , who earlier had played two other Missouri cha racters, Harry Truman and Will Roger , was done in Houston. he claymaJion technique is espeT cially suitable for fantasy produc'T like he set is three-dimensional and lit tions. A tear running down a check can a live-action locatiOn, radically separating it from the usual animation film production seen in Satu rday morning cartoons on television. These cartoons, while created in the United States, are executed in the orient where all of the drawing, painting and other processes are done at lower cost. In contrast. each of tbe claymators handcrafts and individualizes his creation. is responsible for· developing the walk and distincti ve features of his character. Six to ten seco nd s is the maximum amount of film s hot in any given day - there are wee klies rather than dai· lies. according to Vinton and a claymator works eight hou rs a day for 18 months before the camera, continually consulting the facial gestures of the refe rence film and rehearsing the movements of his figure before a mirror. The clay characters wear out in the process of production. More th a n 100 Mark Twains had to be built in order to finish the film. The clay is mixed like paint , allowing for hundreds of possi ble colors and tex tures. a nd it never completely hardens. As a ~ l ayma­ tion sce ne is s hot , it j:, substituted for the live-action portion of the reference film and a checkerboard combination of clay 111nd live-action sections gradu=~~Y develops, ru; the film is not shot in change into an icicle. and then into a popsicle and a lollypop as it reaches the mouth. An apple can evo lve into Albert Einstein. A character's colors can change according to mood . A character ca n grow or s hrink at the director's will. Nothing is stable, all is nuid : clay thou art and into clay thou shall return. An animal can play side-by-side with a human , a ro bot. and a combination of all three. In "The Adventures of Mark Twa in," Daniel Webste r. Ho mer the Frog. Injun· Joe. Mark Twain.

In his essay, "How to Tell a Story,". Twain said : "To string incon~ gruiti es a nd absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way .. . is th e basis of the American art.·· The form of claymation is a veritable " myth issi ppi." S usan Shadburn's script took one of Twain's lesser known works, .. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Abroad ," in which a mad professQr has designed a Jules Verne-type balloon to Oy ·around. the world. and is accompanied by Tom Sawyer. Huck Finn. and J im. She has s ubstituted Beck\ Thatcher for Jim and Mark Twain for the mad professo r. He is not off on u plea~urt: trip but to intersect with Halley's comet. Twain was born in the year of Hall e)·~ comet, 1835. and died dunng it; a ppearance in 1910. He i>.:u the hel m of a fantastic rivcrballoon. a eros betwee n a dirigible and a galleon. and the real purpose of his journey is to reunite himself with his dead wife Livia. He stops occasionally to regale hi s young fictional creations with some: of his other fictions. The claymation characters are so realized 'that Adam and Eve are close a na logues for Twain and Livia .and in 1urn resemble Tom / Huck and Becky Thatcher as the swift currents of motion resolve themselves int o patterns of myth. The firs t image of .the film is a river running from a book and flooding the planet; later, Niagara Falls makes a dynamic appearance in the Garden of Eden: and in the final sce ne, river, s ky and the tai l of Halley's comet all merge into one su rging force. as Twain. now immortal. is transformed into an Egyptian Sphinx who blows the s hip along like Aeolus and propels it ahead on a river of eternal laughter issuing from his mouth. It i~ at this point that Tom Sawyer anno un ces that he will publish the film. ~T he Adventures of Mark Twain." as a book. but the authorial signature which appear on the scree n is that of Hu ck Finn. This is remin iscen t of the holograph (handwritten manuscript) o f " Huckl eberry Finn " in the Buffalo a nd Erie County Library which reads: "The End . Yours Truly, Huck Finn." Before claymation, Samuel Clemens had in- · vented n world in which his fictitious character could author the works written by his pen name. The film opens at the H oliday and University theaters tomorrow. 0 Dr. Gerald O'Grady Ia director of the fducal/onat Commun/catlona Center and the Center lor llfed,.

R. But doesnl S.D.I. include nuclear weappns that would serve only to increase proliferation! A: There is o nly o ne varia nt on the S.D. I. tec hnology that involves a nu~lear exp losio n, and that is the socalled X- Ray lase r. Gen . Abrahamson . has stated in testim o ny that we a rc not pursuing that line .exce pt as a hed ge agaimt Sovic;t efforts in thi~ field, "'here they have an acti ve progiam of X-Ray laser antisa tc ll itc weapons. It's definite ly on the back burner a nd not at the forefront of our effort. which ihvo lves smart bullets. lasers. and particle beams. all of which arc non-nuclear. Q: What role will nuclear weapons. such as the intercontinental ballistic missile. play o nce the S tr. tegic Defense lniliative i~ put in o rbit? A: The President has made .it plain that it i:-. hi~ \.o tcnt thill. before we put anything in10 orhit we will sit down wi th the Russians and negotiate th~.: simultaneous deployment s.o 'both sides will have it. They're working so hard on tlu:ir own defense there's no ·chance of t.hcm noi ha ving this techpol.ogy ;rvadablc when we do. So when both sides. have a defense that can s hoo t dov.n nine out of ten of the other guy':-a warhce~ds th en eac h one will find it vcr~ expensive indeed to keep that kind nf a r~cna l in place. When we had a goud air dcfcn~e agai nst Soviet bombers. the So.viets 'topped building bombers in the "60s and in the 70s. When we scutt led our aiPdcfen~c~ in tt'-c late 70s. t he Soviets started building hombcrs again. When we hoth have a defense that makes the other side·~ missile~ mort! o r less ineffective then we will bOLh put those mi~sile~ <.~way. as th~ Preside nt said. and the Russians (will). if they want to pursue these lines of nuclear intimidation. turn to other wavs. But th e ICBM. wliich is th e great threat. will be a thing of the past. Q: Listening to yo u speak about pro· tl!ct ion against nuclear weapons, keeping the potential conflict in space and rendering nuclear weapons obsolete. it wou ld seem that the peace movements of Western Europe and the United S tates would be in fa vor of this project. Why a ren "t they? A: As far as I can tell th cv've been mis led by Soviet propaga nd~ which talks in vague gcnc!ralitics. about barring weapons .from space. although the Soviets have developed ASATs whith arc weapons. and have exploded them in s pace. They have taken the lead in introducing weapons to s pace. But their propaganda doesn"t say that because then they would have to admi t that they have exp loded these wea pons in space. and that they have ASATs. We have actually seen them doing this on radar and have abundant evidence that they have, in fact. run these tests about 20 times in the las t 20 years. The European public does not know· this. and they believe the Soviet propaganda appareQtly. and that's why they"re riled up. They also do not know that the Soviets are pursuing their own .. Star Wars"' at maximum pace. In the late years of th is century, if we do not get cracking on our own S.D. I. with full funding, we wi ll have a situation where the Soviets have a massive first strike arsenal, a full defense to blunt our retaliatory attack. and we will have neith<J ... a nd that will be a very From page 4 dangerous situation for the U.S. and Europe. In fact, that will mean the end of the free world. Q: And where do our "NATO alii.,. stand on this project? A:. They were sJow in coming .around because they are laboring und er the false illusion that th e ABM Treaty has sto pped the growth of the Soviet offensive arsenal. The facts indicate that that arsena l has grown to approximatel y five times its size when the Soviets signed the ABM Treaty. The British and the French thin k th at if we have a missile defense the Soviets will have one too and that will inakc thei r force de frappe useless. wtiich is a misguid ed view because the Soviets are work i n~ on their defense as hard as they can with o r withou.t our ow n effo rt. and the French and British nuclea r fo rces a rc o n their way to becoming useless anyway. This rega rdless of any actio n the U.S. takes. Mrs. Tha tcher said a while ago that they were not go ing to give up the idea of Mutual Ass ured Destruction ·very easily because. ;:tfter all .. .nucl ~a r weap- . ons had kept the peace in Europe fo~ 40 year>. In other words. they like nuclea r weapons. They feel -they've kep Europe out of war and they don't wan t to see the U.S. and th e U.S.S.R. erect defenses that make tbem uSeless because that would only open Europe up to the pressu r~ of Soviet conventional arms. The bottom line on that . the unspoken sen timent. is they don't want to spend that extra per cent or two a year of their GNP that would give Western Europe its convent ional · defense agai nst Soviet weapons. They also believe mistakenly that o ur nuclear umbrell a is a dete rren t to the .Sovicts attacking Europe, although it is clear that if the Sovie ts marched on Europe we would not fire nuclear weapons on Moscow to protect Paris and Bonn since. in turn . the Sovieb would fire nuclear weapons at New York and W a~hi ngton . No American President would ever tnidc Paris for ew York . Q: Can S DI defend Western Europe? , A: The technology that SDI is working on. if put into place to protect the United States from the Soviet ICBM threat , would be ab le to handle SS-20> and 22s (which a re aimed at Europe) very easily beca use these short-range missiles' travel slowe r. which makes it easier to track and destroy them. They spend a la rger part of their trajectories in thC dense air of lower atmosphere, which enab les us to discrimi nate decoy; from warheads because of thf.: air drag acti ng on them. They arc small . mis.s.iles. which means that thCy only carry a few warheads and decoys which tremendously simplifies the defense problem. In every respect th ey arc a much cm,ier th reat to handle and a soft snap once we get our syMem into place. Q: Does S DI violate th e ARM lreaty? A: Not at all. The ABM treaty spe· cifically allows for research. Q: What if S,D .I., like all previous strateg•c nuclear weapons systems, spurred a new and costly round in the arms race? A: A h. b\Jt S.D.!. is not a" strategic nuclear wcilpons system. It is firs t of all non-nuclear and second. it does not involve weapons of destruction . It invo lves on ly defensive weapons which lie Lhere unused unless and until the Soviets unmistakably mount an attack on the United States designed to destroy this country. Only then docs it swing into action. If you talk about a defensive arms race in space I say all the better. If both sides race towards pulling a defen sive sys1em into place. and BOTH SIDES ac hieve tHat defen· sive system, the end result is to mak e nuclear tipped missiles ineffective and end the nuclear nightmare. That is very much the Presid ent"s hope. 0 State finds UB environment C9mplex T he mos t important thing Lhat came out of a recen t S tate Co mpt ro ll er\ audit of SUNY cli nical practice plans is that "the a udit ors have a be\ter understanding of the co mplicated environment here'" at U B. accordin g to Donald Larson. associate vice pre.1i"ident in the Office of Cli nical Affacrs. · The audit .was ge nerally favo rable to both the dental a nd medical schools. at UB. but questioned some a;pects of the medical schools plan. SU Y and U B adm inistrators say those! questions arise ~cause UB is qifferent from the o ther'SUNY centers in that it depend s on a net work of affiliated h o~pi tals rather than owning a teaching hospi tal. The o ri gi n al pra~ice plan was dc.•ig ncd for the three SUNY cen ter> that own · h.ospitals. Larson explained. But UB's faculty arc spread out at a number of affiliated inst1tutinns. "bur implcmenuulon of the plan has been difficult because we're so decen· tra.lizcd:' he s-aid. ··wc·v~Jwd to in terpret the spirit of the piSifat time~.·· The audit rccognites that UB"s plan is different than the others, but the plan is well underway and will continue to move forward. he noted. "Our implementation of the plan has been difficult because we are so decentralized; at times, we 've· had to interpret the spirit of the plan. " "'Even if it nitpicked a little. the audit recognizes how far we've... pro~ gre sed," Larson said. The plans pu t a ceiling on the amount of money that can be earned by medical and dental facultv. Accord· ing to State Comptroller Edward V. Regan. the purpose of the plan i!, to ensure that primary attention is given to teaching duties. "Thi~ is the fifth audit we've done on thb 1md finally - our voice ha~ been heard.'" Regan said. "'All our earlier audits found that SUNY adminis· tr::uors had ignored the policies of the Board of Tru;tees. The boa rd wanted plans in place to assure that SUNY" doctors would be teachers ·first - and making their private pfactice money second ... It was. a good audit and "we're pretty pleased.'" noted Edward Doty. vice president fo r finance and management. By and large. the audit shows that UB is adhering to the clinical practice plan and making the progress it should be making. he sai~. R egan ou1lined several policy provisions which he said require clarifications from SUNY Central. One involves accounting systems. The audit points out that the plans are required to have central accoun ti ng systems. but UB's Medical School has a decentralized system broken down by department. ··The imposition of a central ized accoun ting procedure cove ring the mul· tiplieity of affiliated hospital; and ' the • even greater multiplicity of pract ice sites within the hospilal sys tem would be impr;tctical." re ponded Ha rry K. Spi ndler. se ni o r vice cha ncellor in SU y.·, Office of i\dmin istra ti ve Affairs. · .. The ~a._n calls fo r cen tralization.·· added · La~. "That ·s difficult fo r us to achieve. .. · · UB"s .dental school docsn"t share this problem. Doty noted. because il has a clinic which acts as its own teaching hospital. -. • Anothe r clarificiation concerm the legal sta tus of the clinical practice plan>. Regan noted in the audit that none of the plans is incorporated or · otherwise formally o rgani}ed. pindl,er said he believes th~l status.. as well as othe r issues.~ part of the bar$aining process between ni1ed UniverMty Profe.sions (U Pl and the State. L ar~on noted that officiab arc wailing to sec if the new UUP agreement modifies any pan of the.'ie policies. A third clarification concerns membership. Policies are unclear regarding exemptions from the plans. Regan said. . Doctors whose pnmary job is not with SU Y and who have only a limited connection with Y may be exempted. he said. Ho"cvcr. SU Y has not adequately defined "'primary e mployment ... o r "limited connection ... leaving campuses .to use differing interprclations. S pindler e.plained that at B. faculty members who hold the M.D. and are considered academically full -time. regardless of method of com· pensation. have been included in the practice plan. This includes physicians with full· time or part·time State sala ries. physicians with only hospital salarie . and tho e geographical full-time physicians jointly recruited a nd appointed to a Universi ty department and to an affil. iated hospital .fee-for- ervice pos-ition. The inclusion of geographical fulltime facu lt y members has followed negotiations wilh . the chief executive officers of the major affiliated hospitals and represents hospital endorsement of the practice plan, Spindler wrote. True part-time and volunteer faculty have been exempted from the plan. A final clarification concerns clinical practice income. Clinical practice income is defmed as income from fees for professio nal services rendered in connectiOn with clinical pracrice, incl uding salaries paid by affihate institutions and excluding certain income earned during vacation or following completion of an employee's professional obligation to U Y, according to the audit report. Clinical practice income is supposed to be deposited with the plan rat)ler than be paid directly to the practi· !loner. The audit found that policies governing practitioner salaries paid by affiliated institut ions are not clear or uniformly applied by al l practice plans. Spindler replied that the Trustees' policies assume faculty members are fully salaried wi thin a Universityowned hospital and that affiliated hos· pitals are paying salaries for clinical services. This is not the case at UB"s Medical School. Although the State doesnl fully understand it, SUNY . recognizes that hospital salaries, paid to U B Medical School faculty members are base incomes, not fees-for-service or practice plan incomes. Larson said. 0 �April 10, 1986 Volume 17, No. 26 I II I RIGHIS By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Richard Hull Waller Simpson: animals aren't tor man. "I t's clear to me that most organis ms can feel pa in ," said Deborah Kohl of th e Depart· men t of Psychology at Buffalo State College. '' But pain and s uffering do n't necessarily go hand in hand.'' !( o hl was one of the speakers at a n interdisciplinary sym posi um on animal ... suffering held at Canisus College rcccmly. l'a in and s uffering are psychologically and physiologically separable , Kohl said: humans can have one with· o ut the other.

Kohl reported . l'eoplc "ho ,uffer frontal lobe lcsmm, after a stroke can have ~urfcring "ithout pain . s he s aid.

She indicated th a t the fact they feel pain h. enough withnut debating whether th ey suffer. M ichael Noona n of the Departmen t of Psychology at Canlsous tried to pin down animal suffe ring by outlining six cri teria for recognizing animal suffc rong. The cri teria were presented by Marion Stamp Dawkin~ in her book Animal Suffering. S he had been asked to determine whether chicke ns kept in crowded fac tory farms in England suffered. oonan ex plained . The firs t cri teri on is injury. It is reasonab le' to assume. Dawkins says. that injury ca uses pain and pain is connec ted to suffering. She i~ aware. however, that in humans '\Uf.fering c<Jn occur without pain. Sign~ of stress i~ the !>Ccond criterio n. When an animal suffers stress. it~ bodv -exhibi t ~ an ··endocrine storm" with high level> of 11drenalin. A blood sample can be taken from the animal and it> level of adrcna lin compared to average amoun t ~ fo und in ammals of that species to see if n 's sufftring stress, Noonan said. T~ere are a couple of problems. he poi lfted out. The very act of taking blood can cause stress. If a researcher wants to determine whether living in captivity causes stress to an animal. he may have no average data to use for compa ri son if all of the ani mal s studied are in captivity or recently captured. When animals are under stress. their reproductive cycles ge nerai!y stop, he .. said . So the. high egg production at the fac t ory farm probably means th e chickens are not under stress. A third point to look at is beltavioral stress. This might be something as . obv ious as an animal wri th ing on the gro und. oonan sa id. But it's. hard to ' interpret ani mal behavior. What m6st people interpret as a-grin in a chimpanzee ts actually a fear grimace. he pointed out. Ano th er criterion is making a compariso n wi th nature. Taking away what the animal had . in nature may cause frustration or boredom. For instance. Noonan said. a killer whale who is used to swim-ming very fast in a straight line might be frustrated if Co nfined in a s mall tank. But is a whale fr ustrated .if it is fed rather than havi ng to hunt on its own? It is not clear what causes frustration . he said. The animal's free choice is a powe rful tool to fi nd ou t what causes it suffering, Noona n said. T he animal will avoid what. it doc~ n 't like and go to what it likes. In the ca.-.c of th e facto ry farm. Da\\ kins put a chicken between th e factory farm cage and the field . Surprising!~. the chicken took the Cage. The chicken had lived its whole life in the factory farm and pro babl y found the field frig hte ning. Noonan no ted. T he animal may have learned helplessness. The fina l criterion i~ to put yourself in the animal 's place. Noo nan said. T hi s doesn't mean we !<.hould co mpare anima ls to humans. only that we sho uld trv to thin k as the animal wo uld. • A human , fo r instance. might not like to live in a cave. But it's fine for a bat. ' Someone steeped in the behavior of th at species, the way Jane Go_odall is with chimps. is needed to determine when the an imal is suffering. he said . B e la Babus. d irector of the Aquarium of iag~ Falls. assured the audience that "Tm a real nice g uy. l love animals: I \ 1C spent most of my life around animals." But at the aquarium, he puts animals · in to captivi ty where th ey won't li ve normal lives. He does it. he said. to learn more about the animals and to teach people abou tCI#c'm. The more we know about the ani mals. the more we can avoid ca usi ng them s uffering. he said. The captive anima l ~ are an educatio nal tool to enlighten peo ple about animals and the need to protect their enviro nment. For inslltnce. seve ral dolphins were kept in ca pt ivi ty to film the se ries "Flipper." h made people more aware of the animals a nd th e threat to them from the tuna indu stry. The animals who were filmed as Flipper "gave their live~ in a noble ge ture if they aved thousands of their brethren," Babus said. The idea of cruelty was discussed by Richard Hu ll. a~ociatc professor in philosophy and assistant professor in medicine at U B. A person doc) not have to take pleasure in causing pain in order to be cruel. he said. To be cruel. a person mu~t ~im pl y be indifferent. If you believe a minn ow ~ uffe rs when yo u put it on the hook a~ bait. and you're ind ifferent to th at s uffering beca use your goa l is to catch a larger fish. then yo u're crue l. Hull said . But Noonan. who also actCd as th e moderator, noted that when parents innict sufferin g o n a child by not lt tting him stay ou t jill nig ht . the parent is not considered cr uel. A dog may be · sca red and s uffering if he goes_ to .the veterina ri ao. but we don.'t co nsider the owner cruel: there is a greater good. But as a ques ti oner from th e audience pointed out. is this greater good for the victi m or perpeto:atafl If • dog ~ uffers during housebreaking. it's fo.r the owner's good. not the dog's. A cost / benefi t a nalysis must take place, oo nan said. h must be asked whether the benefit gained by people or the animal ou tweighs potential suffering. nimal s were placed o n canh as tools for man's end s. said Matth ew Smith. director of the ln• titu te of Faith and Ju !J.ticc at Canisiu~. This is the Judc o-C hristian perspective that has shaped o ur cu lt ure. value~. gove rnment . and philoso phy. he said. Smith gave a number o f examples from western philosop hers and the Bible, dating back to the creation story o f Genesis. In that story. God creates the universe and seu, up a hierarchy with man above animal~. But Walter Simp>on. president of the Animal Rights Advocates of WeMcrn New Yo rk . rebulled the idea that animab arc ·h ere for man's usc. "Animals a re sentient creatu re~ who can ~uffcr. They're not here as reso urces fo r humans." said Simpson, who is also an energy officer at U B...., hey're here fo r th c m se lv e~. or th ey're just here." The animal rights movement "challenges human arrogance t hat o ur superiori ty justifies o ur exploitation o f animals." he said . Peo ple have rather selective mo rality whe n it co mes to anima ls. he said. Simpson advocates vege tarianism which makes even people in his own grou p uncomfortable, he admiued. He talked about an expcri menl he was faced with in college in which a frog had to be killed. That experiment could have been don e once and filmed. saving hundreds or thousands of frogs. Simpson said. " Wh at are we tenching, life sciences or death l\cienccs'!" he asked . The anima l righb movement tries to sc n!-.i ti t.c people who have been subjected to "psychic numb ing.'' he said. Describing it as one of th e most. pathetic th ing; he had seen in ~is life. Simp~on related an incident where a yo ung girl cau~ht a fi>h . After it had been Oopping about on land for several minutes. she sc reamed at it. ..Why don) you dieT' "Animal rights groups tend to be militant because they want a fund amental change in society.·· Simpson sa id . His group is affiliated with a national group that has engaged in civil disobedience. Other groups have gone as far as break-ins . and while he doesn' endorse t hat , he said he can understand it. "Animal ri)lhts is more than just an appeal for compassion· it's a fight for justice," he concluded. 0 A �Apr1110, 1986 Volume 17, No. 26 \ Letters 'Spectrum' editor sets· us straight EDITOR: Your article on the Gell(•fation on 3/ 27 thoroughly justifies the Repor1er 's popular nickname the Distorter.

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

Ethical issues forum considers pay equity topics By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO · P ay equit y and comparable worth were two of the topics discussed at las t week's program ·on ''Ethical Dilemmas and Legal Iss ues: Employment in Higher Epucation." Patrici a A. Hollander, an adjunct associate professor in social sciences at UB and a practicing l:twyer, spoke on the legal issues. Thomas M. Mannix, SUNY associate vice chancellor for employee relations and personnel, spoke on ethical dilemmas. When ·there's a dispute concerni ng pay equity, the jobs in question must be shown to be "substantially eq ual" to those that get higher pay, Hollander said, although they don't have to be exactly th'e same. She gave the exa mple of a case whe re a number of female . faculty was discovered that salary was really awarded on an ad hoc basis. The moral is that if your institution says it awards raises on merit , make sure a merit system really ex ists , Hol - lander said. "Market factor.s" had been cited in one case as a reason .. for pay inequity. The argument was that market condition s are such that they permit th e existence of .. men's jobs" and .. women's jobs," Hollander ex plained. But · the judge ruled against th at argument , saying the very reason the Equal P~y Act was passed was to elim- inate that kind of discrimination. The idea of comparable worth ~ reviewing jobs and setting up new classifications and salaries for jobs - is not new. she pointed out. But it hasn't been done regularly. Therefore, jobs traditionally held by women are slipping further and further behind. It's a big . task to review jobs, she members brought a suit agai nst Geor- said, and the government sector seems gia Southwestern College. The women to be leading the way. The private sector is looking at the results and realizing that pay equity · were successfUl in showing that their teaching was substantially the same as -the teaching done by males, but the ma:Jes were pa id more, Hollander said.

Comparing teaching jobs across disci plines, for example, in Eng- will cost companies a Jot of money. ~ women are saying, ·ves, that's what we had in mind '," Hollander noted . "While it's a just thing to do, it requires a lot of financial planning. It's not a min~ event." lish and sociology, might be appropriate. Women do nor have to be paid as much as men if the differences are based on seniority, merit, productiv ity, or any system other than sex, she said . In the Georgia case, the college said its ~s tem was based on merit. But when the evidence came out in cou rt . it M anni x noted that the UUP's Young study on comparable worth in professional ranks in SUNY should be out later this spring or in early summer. Pending the ratification of the UU P contract , there will be $9 million available to implemeQt the study . By the time the union negotiations roll around again in 1988, there should be a redesigned salary program. " My guess is that by 1990, you won't recognize what we had in 1982, if it's done right," Mannix said . Mannix also discussed the ethics concerning rati ng an employee's wo rk . .. If deficiencies become known in an employee's work, does the employee know about them?" he asked. Too often a person goes blissfully through his probation period because he has pieces of paper telling him his work is fine , even if ·the supervisor thinks it's not, Mannix said. The s upervi so r is n't doing the employee a favor since the employee has no chance to improve, he said . Also, at the end of his probationary period, those things not written down are nonetheless remembered by the s upe.rviso~ and the employee isn't given continuatiOn. Mannix noted that there are times when people at a campus insist an employee has to go, but the person's file describes him as a cross between Einstein and Schweitzer. In his opinion, the campus can just suffer with the bad employee "because you created the file ," Manni x said. One evaluation de sc ribed an employee as ··very, very satisfactory." bin~ ork for was W discussed by Hollander. For in tance. if a faculty another topic membe r develops a new comp.uter program, who owns it? It ·s cons1dered a literar\ work and is su bject to copyright . she noted. Traditionally, a book written by a faculty member belongs to that person . she said . Cynics would say that's onl y because traditionally there hasn't been much money to be made on faculty's books. But computer programs might be highly commerciaL If a faculty member gets a reduced teaching load in order to produce a computer program and the arrange- ment is clearly understood through a letter or some kind of document , then the situation is very different, she said. Problems arise when people don1 th ink ahead to clearly outline expectations before a successful product is made. If a student produces a computer program in the classroom or as part of his graduate work, the consensus is that he owns it, Hollander said. That's true even if the student used university equipment, but the university may charge a student to use the equipment on his own time, she noted . If the student is an employee who was hired to create a computer pro- ''I'm still trying to figu re out what gram, the court will look ~t how much the school is paying him.

False on both counts, accordin'g to )ohn E. Carroll, Ph .D . . an international environmental issues expert who has been active in acid rain concerns since 191J:.. . T he term "acid ra in'' was coined more than 100 yea rs ago, When a Brit· ish pollution.. inspector noted Jhe presc_ncc of sulfuric aci.d in the precipita· lion that fell over Manches ter, a highly-developed industrial area that burned coal as fuel. So much for recent and the Great ·Lakes. But the observation made in 1862 has c~calatcd into a se rious concern, both in Europe and North America, .said Carroll. a professo r of environ· mental conse rvation at th e Unive rsity of New Hampshire. His discussion on acid rain was s ponsored here las t week by U B's Great Lakes Program and the Law School's Project on CanadianAmerican Legal Iss ues. with suppon from the Sea Grant Law Program and the Envi ronm ental Law Society. Acid rain. Carroll said. is a public policy and international relations issue that has reached critical proportions in Wes t Germany, Sweden. Norway, and Great Britain as well as in Ca nada and the Uni ted States. A ce ntury after the problem first was observed ,. the ravages of acid rain are 50 se rious that only about 15 yea rs remain before West Germany's Black. Forest will be "decimated.'' Ca rroll estimated . And the forests and waters of the US and Canada are equally threa tened . The West Germans, who also have a region of heavy industry that uses coal for power and produces· large quantitic s of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants , he said, initially did not put much stock in the threat of acid rain. "But when they realized what those emissions were doing to the Black Fores t. they did a 180-degree turnaround in a period of 30 or 60 days." A cid rain' is produced when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides common pollutants ~ enter the atmosphere and return as rain , sleet, snow, any other type of precipitation, or even as what Carroll called ·"dry deposition.'' The results are forests of dymg foliage a nd waters that cannot support life. Coal-burning industry is not the only Culprit. atural causes, including volcanic eruptions and forest tires, are responsi ble for 10 per cent of the pollutants that become · acid rain , Carroll said . Human causes, such as industrial and automobile emissions, are responl;ible for the remaining 90 per cent. ""Here in North America. we have had si nce 1978 an increasingly bilateral problem ... between emitting areas and receiving areas, .. he said. According to Carroll, between 50 and 55 per cent of the acidity in ·rain that falls over Canada comes from so urces in the United States, a fact that the US government is willing to admit. And Canada is aware of its own emissions; but even if Canada manufactured no pollutants that contribute to acid rai~, the country still would ~e faced wtth the effects of substantl31 emissions from the US. On the other hand, "we also receive emissions from Canada - at best 18 per cen t of our problem, and most of that falls in the Adirondacks," Carroll said. Quantity of the emissions is compounded by the comparative geographical vulnerability of the two countries. "'The vast majority of Canada is not geographically and chemically well buffered." Carroll added that the vast majority of the US, on the other hand , is well protected from the effects of acid rain , "or perceives itself to be." The majority of Canada's population and its woodlands lie in the path of atmospheric patterns that bring pollutants from industrial areas including those in the US. ' " In the US, for the most part, where the people are and where the votes are, are well protected ," Carroll contrasted. "Its ravages are so severe that West Germany's Black Forest is doomed. " He added that in some geographica l areas. the natural buffering may be .enhanced· by an alkaline soil that counteracts acid rain. "But buffering capacity doesn) last forever. In some places it could be a couple of centuries before the buffering capacity is worn away." In other areas, there may be only a couple of years' grace. Another factor in the problem of acid rain is a population 's awareness of the problem and of how far-reaching its effects can be. "Ca nada first became aware (of acid rain) when it burst onto the scene in 1978," Carroll said. By 1980, threequarters of that country's population was aware of it. " In 1980, only 15 per cent of Americans had tlic foggiest notion of what acid rain .was about ," and that minimal awareness was concentrated in New England, the Adirondacks ~ and the Minneapolis-St. Paul regions - areas that already had begun to feel the devastation. Today, with about 90 per cent of the Canadian population aware of the effects of acid raih, consciousness has climbed to about 50 per cent in, this country. awareness will continue t o climb," Carroll predicted . ··us I n the meantime, however, the issfle has created diplomatic tension between the two countries. Canadia ns, Carroll explained , are a forest-oriented society, with paper and wood products composing an impor· tant part of their industry. .. We cannot prove acid rain is destroying the forests . . . (but) to make beheve the issue is not a problem is grossly incorrectl" he said. .. We have a whole generation of Canadians growing up with additional reasons to dislike the United States, and we are a~tively feeding that.'' US policies regarding the acid rain issue, Carroll said, have fai led to address the problem in any direct way. .. Frankly, the Reagan administration ·s position has been very consistent," he said. ·:Jt stands foursquare opposed" to doing anything. Last week 's meeting between Ron.ald Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was the first time the president has acknowledged that su lfur dioxide and other pollutants emitted by coal burning can result in acid precipitation that pillages forests and water· ways. Previously, the administration had called for more studies to determine the causes of acid rain and measures to alleviate its destructive effects. However, as a result of the MulroneyReagan discussio ns, the president was expected to go alon~ with recommendations mad e in a jotnt ·report released last January by special envoys Drew Lewis. former secretary of the Department of Transportation. and former Ontario Pr~ mi e r William Davis. The report calls for the US to spend $2.5 billion over the next five years for a clean-coal demonstration program to test technologies th at would reduce sui- here are several means of substa.o\iaiTy reducing the emissions that believed to cause ac id rain, atcording to Carroll. · · .. Wet sulfur scrubbers are . a proven technology. They are good on 90 to 95 per. cent of sulfur dioxide emissions. but they. ha.v.e no effect on nitrogen oxides." He a!lded that a major prob_. lem with the technology is cost. Equipping industrial operations with wet s ulfur scrubbers increases the costs of building plants and producing energy by about 75 per cent. For a coal-burning electrical plant, a common source of energy in the Midwest, this would increase costs to consumers - ......- homeowners.. businesses. and industry alike ~ by abQttt 10 per cent. And while homeown e rs probably t ould absorb a 10 per cent hike in utilities costs, th e effects on industries that consume large amOunts of energy would be felt nationwide, and could be the final blow to the manufacturers themselves. · Carroll noted that the most hard hit would be the automotive and steel manufacturers in the_'"industrial heartland ... of states s uch as Ohio. Indiana, and Michigan. Saddling these plants with th e expense of wet sulfur scrubbers in order to reduce their emissions cou\d be crippling or fatal to industries that are vi taJ to rh e nation. 0 1 ro:~ :~~~d ~r: %o ~~i:! ~o~c~f~~!~ su res that would reduce emissions," Carroll said. · For example, he said, coal pre- · washing wou ld result in a 15 per cent reduction in sulfur dioxide: emissions. Switching the orientation of utilities from least cost dispatching techniques of production now being practiced, to least emission dispatching also would lead to a 15 per cent reduction. Carroll noted this would require a cha nge in federal policies that require utilities to provide their product at the lowest possible cosf to consumers, a regulation that does not take into consideration the social and environmental costs of producing energy as cheaply as possible. Another measure Carroll recommended w~s using a mix of low sulfur and high sulfur coal in coal-burning electrical plants. Most energy at thi< point is produced by high sulfur coal; however, the fuel also produces a higher quantity of su lfur dioxide. He recommended a mix of the two fuels rather than sole reliance on low s ulfur coal in order to avoid different envi. ronmental hazards that would be caused by mining the fuel , found almost exclusively in the western U nited States. Mining low sulfur coal cou ld cause a shortage of water in the West, he said. .. As . YOU know we also could s"wit'ch to nuclear (energy) and have environ men· tal problems of a different type - but nuclear power doesn't contribute to acid rain." But even these measures would not entirely solve the problem of manmade emissions and acid rain , he noted. The real solution lies in a more pervasive social issue. "The real problem relates to. reduc- · tion in demand ," he said. .. Acid rain is p art of a much larger whole . . . and tfiere are many, many more activities than coal burning that are cofitributing to the problem.... It's a broader air pollution problem." ·11 all has to do with tho old saying that what goes up must come down . 0 �v..._ 17, No. 25 lbn:h27,1111 Paid parkin·g at Amherst?

W omen who are unhappy in their jobs are more likely to usc shopping as a form of escape, and women having problems at home , particularly in power relations with their _htUbands, often use shopping to beat the blues, to recapture a sense of power and , at times, as a way to retal iate a&ai_n st tht:ir~ mates. I ntcrestingly, Allesi observed, twothird s of the sample reported knowing at least one woman whom they conside red an "addictive shopper," though nollF of-the women questioned · felt they fit th is category. When ' asked why they thought . th ese women shopped excessively, the respondents attributed ~he behavior to two . main • Those arc the · conc1Us1ons of an exploratory st udy cond ucted by UB. doctoral candidate Bonnie J. Allcsi which involved 93 women from a small upstate city in ew York . As the social class of her ~e· spondcnts rose. Allcsi alSo found that they tended to view shopping as a mQrc pleas urable experien ce. H owcve r . as social class- declined. women were . more likely to think of shopping as a necessary evil, ping fo r ora.om<auc..... reasons fill a family or a . personal need , and for only as long as · it took them to find the best buys. No( su rpri singly these women also experience much more appn;hension about matching availab le products to their specific needs. Working class respondents also s hop primarily for instrumen t al rca- sons. she notes. but are more likely .. to find their social needs filled" through shopping and to find the ac t ivity .. relaxing."" "This makes sense if one considers the limited o pportunities for social recreation that the work schedules and paychecks of work' ing women typically provide," explain s Allesi. a ~rad uate s tudent 1n U B's Department of Sociology whose disse rtation focuses on th e economic, p syc ho social and political implications of women 's sho ppin g behavior. Social class was measured by using an adaptation of Hollingshead 's I.S. P . Index, which quantified the ed ucational leve l a nd occ upational status of respondents and, if they were married. their husbands. The su rvey used mail questio nnaires, with half the respondents subsc;quently interviewed for qualitative data. The sa mple co ntained only women ·who had at least one child in their househOld who was no olde r than 18 years of'agc. sco red by Allesi's findings that more than half of the women in the sfudy confirmed that s hopping gives them a sense of achievemen\ , provides a .. wCIcome change from daily routines, .. " helps them. feel beuer emotionally," and "gives them the satisfactio~ of getting what they want to get." A large perce ntage also admiued that shopping helps the,m "forget' everything else for awhi le," get over d e pression and ' experience furi and · a sense of creativity. Although the majority of the sa mple found s hopping pleasurable , Allesi emphasized that a more._complex picture emc;rged when s he probed the respondents as to what they considered the Qs5t and worst aspec1s of shopping. More than three-fourths of the women .. readily identified aspects of shopping th at need to be changed ," she said , with !heir biggest gripe being ins.uffici e nt numbers of sales personnel to assist with purchases. In . an effort to economize. stores are forcing customers to serve themselves. which doesn 't sit well with women consumers. Allesi advises, regardless of their economic background or why they shop. 0 reasons: a lack of other leisure-time activities and in terests and a strong desire to look attractive, the latter forcing women to s hop frequently for complementary makeup. clothes. and accessories. The younger the respondent. thC more likely this was seen as the cause for com pulsive shopping, Allesi relates. The fact that women turn to co nsu mpti on as a type of tonic is under- lh j< l\ <I 1\1 < II'< l\1 '-I' I ther irritating aspectS of shopping pinpointed by the respondents were misleading or dishonest advertising. pus hy sales people on co mmission , inadequate stocking of stores and poor ' store o rganization, billing ana credit procedures. " I found a dichotomization of the shopping experience, in which its best aspects relate to the fulfi lling or psyc hosocia l and expressive need s not met in th e work or home environment, and its worst aspects relate to the frustration s hoppers experience in trying to meet their economicinstrumental needs ," Allesi explained. Since most of the women in the sample fell between the ages of 18 to 40. Allesi did not expect them to raise such strong objections over the growin g self-serv ice principle in s tore s. thinking that they would be willing to forego the service for cheaper prices. • See Women who shop, page 12 . and Shol?-and Shop and Shop �Men:h 27, 11186 Volume 17, No. 25 'Generation' mag_ azine 'It's the best,' its editors say By JOSE LAMBIET A s shown by the deep financial pro blems at The Spectrum; the lives of campus student publica tions arc .fragi le.

Tammy Baker of The Praise The Lord Club endorses a similar line. • There arc volumes on "Christian weight loss" and "Christian money management." And now there are sex manuals writ· ten by and for evangeliCals. Lewis and Brisseu, who earlier did a content analysis of secular sex manuals which detected a shift in emphasis from sex as work in the 1950s to sex as play in the 1970s, have used the iame technique on 13 "evangelical sex manuals. • Their findings, reponed on in an anicle eniitled "Sex as God's Work, • illustrate · the extent -to which the evangelical movement bas accommodated to the ~ larger society in regud to sexual mat· ten.

A single .common theme is that religion is good for sex and that sex is good for religion; some of the authors invoke Adam and Eve, reporting that the first couple "made love before sin entered the garden." Lovemaking is thus deemed a natural clement in God's plan for the human race. How~vu. Christian sex has to be more than biology. Physical gratification apart from a spiritual content is said to characterize the sexual lives of only the unenlightened . Sex can never be free nor ever totally personal. It is a spiritual relationship between persons and God, one which Lewis B. Smedes in Sex for Christians suggests may con· linue into the hereafter: "If sexuality is what God gave us to reflect bis own note that: • The lr8dJtlon8l IIOijctn ~ .. lelilperecl AI _ . . onlY lo • Hmltecl degree. A husband and wife both have a right to each other's bodies, but this seems more true for the former than the latter. the sociologists point out. What is emphasized most ts a division of labor: a different and unequal model of sexuality. In this regard, one manual informs. " lmpas· sioned love comes naturally to a man because of his stronger sex drive. Most women have IQ cultivate the appetite for passionate loving, but be sure of this - they have the capacity to learn." The divtsion of sexual labor is most accentuated .in discussions of male leadership and female submission, Lewis and Brissett repon. Most manuals concur that male dominance is the natural or<ier of things. In Ducowring th~ lntidulte Marriage, R.C. Sproul 'offel'l a biblical exhonation: "What Christian woman would find it difficult to be submissive if she wen: married to Christ? But that's the •problem no husband is exiiCtly lite Christ.. ...

"The Special Major degree is one that is unique, interdiscipli nary. and involves a large amount of independent study work ," according to Dr. Allan Canfield, chairman of the Special Major Committee. The program gives students the opportunity to plan their own curriculum. choose the courses they would like to take, and preuy much determine their own destiny while at college somethi ng no other major can do. In order to be accepted into the program, the prospective st udent . who shou ld be at least a second-semester . sophomore. must meet certain requirements. First , a minimum grade point average of 2.5 is expected, and mu st be maintained throughout the duration of the program. Next, the student should meet with his or her advisor to discuss a possible title for the major. Some examples ·of majors now in process include everything from journalism to Japanese area studies, music management to neurobiology. sports administration to poe try and technology. a nd everything in between . Canfield empHasized that uniqueness is important because any proposal that'" is not so undl y academic or can be done within a major already offered at UB will be turned down. ·•we will reject proposals if they are not soundly academic," s~·d Canfield. "We don't want students o major in ' How to Get a Job, · for· in a nee . ., After comi ng up with an appropriate topic. the student then should draft a sta tem ent of intent and purpose.

What resulted is a rc'lationship where everyone wins. accOrding to 'Richard Dollinger, associate professor of electrical cngineerlng.Dollinger contacted Michael Dupre, elec trical substation su pervisor, when he needed some help constructing a shield room that WJS needed ior some experime nts. A shield room is like a thertnosfor elect ricity: ii encloses large surges of hot efectricity wiJhin its walls but keeps the cold co mputers outside froni being damaged. The main frame 'tlf the room was purchased and erected by an outside contracto r bL&t the electrical wiring. grounding, and shielding had to be done to complete the job. The sol ution was si mple and cost effectiv~ have UB electricians install the wiring and have Dollinger d~ ~rounding and shielding . .. The electrical shop has a strict electtical code and can do the wiring," Dollinger said. "I'm trained to do grounding and shielding. The combination was perfect." He estimates the University saved anywhere from SIOO,OOO to S250,000 by cont racting within UB for the wiring. .. Building th e room would have been impossible if we didn' have the help of the ele~t~ical shop." Dollinger noted. ElecKicians Steven Brochu and Michael Garguiolo have worked with Dollinger and Dupre. and graduate student s John Shea and Michael Belling for the last yea r assembling and testing the shield room in Bonner Hall. "We were capable of doing the wiring. but because of regulations (the electrical >hop) had to do it," Belling said ... They have been very helpful to us. They have wo rk ed around our sc hed ule whenever possible." Belling. who plans a career in power engineering. said learning about and u~ing shield rooms was important to hi s educa tion. - L-R: EleclrlchJna RlcMrd Smllh, Paul Gomey end MlchHI Gergulolo; grad lfudenla MlcMel Belling end John Shea. ~I think shield rooms will become more important as we deal more and more with computers," he said.

The room. encased in finr. copper mesh. is designed to allow th e 100,000 volts th e experiment requires to be ·generated without disturbing computer analysis being done just a few feet from the room . Shea had done some work on a shield room at the Ridge Lea Campus and has been involved with the construction of the Bonner Hall facility from th e onset. He aid the electrical work was "very professional." The room is capable of a 300,oo0 volt impulse," he said. " If you are anywhere near it you could be ki lled." For.that reason, safety interlocks were installed by the electricians to warn anyone who tries to enter the room while it is being used. l;he electrical .. noise" generated from the experiment, including power pulses, could harm the computers or high speed oscilloscopes being used to collect data. The room was necessary for this kind of operation. .. It would be a shame to have the computer or oscilloscope read the wrong data or need to get repaired ," Dollinger said. He demonstrated the room's effectiveness by ca rrying a radio into it. As he approached the room, the signal weakened; it disappeared as he entered the room. The room did not allow electrical noise into it and will not let noise out. "(Electrical Engineering) would come up with an idea and we'd come up with a circuit," Dupre said. '' It was a challenge. It is ve ry involved control-wise."

And while these unemployed persons may be grateful for th e sup po rt they receive from family and fri~nds , it fails to buffer them from the pSychological pangs associated n•ith their job loss. • The study, co nducted by Robert W. Rice, Ph .D .. Mark A . Bonacci. M.S. W. and Barbara B. Bunk e r. Ph .D., invo lved 48 men and women who were receivi ng counseling and financial and job assistance from a program for th e unemployed in Western New York. All subjects had been without work for a prolonged period. The purpose of the study was to examine if prior job involvement had any bc<~rings on perceived quality of life during a period of uncmp l oxm~nt. Job invo lvement was seen as dasunct from work involvement in that th e former concerns how closely o ne psychologically identifies with a specific job, while the latter refers to the per- :,on~tl importance one may place on ''ork in general. · " We assumed that people hig hl y involved in their jobs would have more to Jose from unemployment than would people with little :,cnse · of job invol\'emcnt," explains Rice, a social psyc hologist in the Department of Psychology and Schoo l of Management. .. Besides the economic and social cost of unemployment experienced by eve ryone during period> of unemployment , highly job involved people are lik ely to suffer a se riou s psychological loss as we ll si nce unemployment can leave them without thi s major so urce of selfesteem and self-definition ... Compared to th e pattern of responses drawn from national probability sa mples. the researchers found that their respondents ··descri bed themselves less positively in their feelings regarding their life accomplishment~, their selves. their lives as a whole, and with regard to respect they receive from o thers." They also described themselves as being "less happy." ontrary to what the team had theorized based on social support studies conducted by othcrs , they C foJ.Jnd that social s upport neither protected the respo ndents from the stressinducing effects of high job involvement and job loss nor helped them cope better with high stress. They originally had believed that the stronger the social su pport network. the less likely people were to experience "'deleterious personal outcomes." .. Agencies scekiOg to serve th e unemployed cannot assume that gene ral emo ti onal support from informa l social networks will provide a iluffer or coping mechanism that limits adverse effects of job los~ ... Rice advises. Because of this finding, t he resea rch team be lieves that the unemployed may better profit from other forms of support, s uch as concrete advice and trainmg in such areas as job sea rch skills and job availability. Moreover, pract.itioners should be aware that they may face a type of dilemma pr "Catch-22" situation when counselin g the unemployed , Rice cautions.

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

"It Wa$ the fir t of its kind ," Dirk Smith. vice president and co-founder of the club, said of the program. "It's good. It's not'just cheap effects. "It's more of a thinking show. It 's not like the later Buck Rogers series where they just go out and shoot." .. You watch it the first time and it's entertaining," agreed Andrew Schwartz. president and co-founder. I . t was "But as you watch it over and over you get a feeling for the characters and the subtleties of the plot." He· pointed to Spock. the logical one: Dr, McCoy, the emo tional one, and Kirk. the leader. The threesome is a classic combination that works in literature. he said. "All the people who watch the show can rela te to the characters in some way," Schwartz Stiid. "They're people yo u'd:like to get to know. That 's why the show works." Chuck Fried. research coordinator for the club. concurred. "They're like rea l people." Fried said . ''It's no t like 'S tar Wars' where yo u don~ care what Luke kywalker was like when he was a baby. ''You know who Ki rk is and who Spock is. You know that Scotty eats, brea thes, and sleeps the ship." T he activities of the club offer members a chance to get to know the characters even better. Every week episodes are shown for free to '"'Star Trek"-starvcd fans . A showing is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. today in Capen 31. Getting a chance to watc h the show is the basic reason the club was . formed, Schwanz said. Back home in Long Island , he watched it every night. In Buffalo. unless you have cable. it can only be seen Saturdays on a Canadian station , Channel 5. While the free showings help attract members, the club is trying to see if it can get permission from Paramount to charge admission as a fund-raiser. The Club is also looking in to showing the .. Star irek"' movies. The 38 members can engage in roleplaying games. structured much like "Dungeons and Dragons." Smith said. Each person chooses a character to play. Following a thick se t of basic rules which cost about SIS, they et out on a mission. The actual missions or adventures are purchased separately and cost another S6 to S 10. Not to be outdone by the Enterprise's computers, the .. Star Trek" Club has UB's mainframe tied into "Trekker,'' an information network, Schwartz said . ''There's ·o much itiformat ion you can't read it all,'' he noted . The network supplies such tidbits as tlie rumor that Paramou nt. which will probably release the mo vie "Star Trek IV" next summer. asked director Leona rd Nimoy (who also plays Spock) to usc comedian Eddie Murphy in the film . The answer was no, Schwartz said. He co mp ared th e proposed ro le for Murphy to Richard Pryor's role in th e Superman movie. " It would have ruined it." Schwartz said. l.j JJ 's group is also trying to build a loose fede ration with other clubs. Talks are alread y underway with iatrek, the Niagara Falls "Star Trek" club. Schwartz said. And UB membe rs are looking for information on the national dub. B's club has connections with a U new group at Buffalo State. Adam Alsilp. who wa. a member here. transferred to that school and is starting a club the re. Schwanz added that Alsop is working on a .. Star Trek'' novel and a "Star Trek " trivia book . . Perhaps next year. u·B's club plans to organize an event along the lines of the "Star Trek" weekend held here two years ago. before the club was formed . The event featured Walt~r Koenig, who plays Mr. Chekov, and George Takc1, who plays Mr .. Sulu. With the impetus of the club behind him. Schwart7 envisions scheduling a grander eve nt . even a convention. with imoy or Willia m Shatner (who pla ys Captain Kirk) attending. ·· In about a month, the club plans to hold a trivia contest. But w:itch out these.lrrekkies are tougher than a Horta moving through rock when it comes to detail. When they unwrapped some new costume shins. the members were aghast to lind that the emblem for the blue shirt had been sewn on the red shirt by mistake. To anyone but a Trekk ie. th e emblems appear almost identical. Where d o the y gel all of this information? The re are plenty of reference materials available, Fried said.

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

A By th e end of the third year of the cont rac! ( 1987-MS). all professionals. librarians. and faculty will be making at least SIM.OOO. sa1d Maria Rudden . assistant director of the Go\·ernor's Office of Employee Relati o ns (OER). All those represented by UUP are to receive five per cent increases in each year of the three-year contract. The first year's increase will be retroactive to Sept. 12 , 1985, for calendar year appointments. and to ov. 7, 1985. for academic appointments, amounting to the equivalent of a four per cent retroactive increase. The raises will work like this: In the first year. everyone will get what amounts to the four per cent retroactive incre:ase. Then if professio nals or librarians ~till have salaries that arc below the minimum se t for faculty · at \arious co rre spon ding ranks . thos e sala ries will be brought up to the minimums for facully. lnMead of having three different sca les for professionals. librarians. and faculty, those three scaleS' will be collapsed into one, Rudden explained. Librarians and professionals some times felt like second-clas~ citizens because they operated on different wage scales. In the second yea r (effective July I, 1986) c\erybody gets a five per cent increase. In the third year (effective July I, 1987) everybody first gets the five per cent increase. The minimum salary for the lowest level of professionals, libararians. and faculty, which would have been $17,622 at that t i \ will be Th e new Emptre Health Plan w1ll be ava1lable Protection for long -term pari-lime employees IS mcluded D increased to 518.000. Rudden said. Those with academic-year appointment s will get a proportionate increase. "Pro rata" part-timers will be eligible fo r this increase in minimum salary also. she said. Most pan-timers arc paid per course. llul "pro rata" parttimers. those who arc harcd to perform a portion of the professional obligation in addition to teaching. would be eligible. · "It still doesn't ma~e us equivalent to what some cw York State teachers in K through 12 without a Ph.D. get, but it's a step in the rig ht direction." said Roy SlaunwHite. president of the Buffalo Health Sciences Chapter of UU P. lso included in the agreement b a A new health plan called the Empire Plan. The State has folded the old Group Health Incorporated (G HI) and the Plan into the new Empire Plan. exp lained Carol Schlageter, spokeswoman for OER . Stat~-wide The core plan involves a list of more than 19,000 health care providers State-wide, she said. Hospitalization , routine checkUps. illness, injury. accidents. and blood test arc covered in full when seeing a participating provider, she said . When an employee sees a provider not participating in the plan, Empire will pay 80 per cent of covered costs and the union member would pay th e other 20 per cent. Routine checkups would not be covered in this event. Schlageter said. Specific enhancements for UU P are still being worked out, she noted . Union members may choose a health maintenance Organization instead of the Empire -Plan. Other as pects of the UUP agreement arc: • A one-time S500 performance award will be paid to professionals who have permanent appointment status now as well as those who achieve that status within the life of the con- tract, Schlageter said. Slat,~nwhite called this award "earnest money." For 12 years. the union has been asking the State to implemen t a career ladder for professionals. Although it was promised in the last contract, the State reneged. he said. This money was intended to convince the union that the StaJ_e is really serious this time. • Protection for long-term part-time employees will be provided. According to Schlageter, part-time employees are now hired as temporary employees and may be terminated at any time. Under the new agreement. a temporary employee can be eljgiblc for a term appointment of not more than three years. Then the employee mu~t be given 45 days notice at the end of that term if he or she is not going to be renewed. If the employee is being ta'minated because cou~ enroll.me.nt is inadequa1e. the 45-day notice· is not required, she said. To be eligible for this term employment, an employee must serve four of eight semesters, not be cotasidere~ a ''casual employee... then serve eagh t more semesters. not counting summer. Schlageter said. • In each of the three years of the • contract, $50,000 will be put into a labor-management committee to work toward correction of affirmative action inequities. Slaunwhite said. • One per cent of the unit payroll will be paid at the discretion of the SUNY Trustees in the form of merit raises. • One per ce nt of lhe payroll in each of the second and third years, a total of S II million. will be se t aside to i~plement the promoti o~ and classi~­ cation study for professaorials that as still underway. • S I million in the seco nd year and S2 million in the third year will be set aside for salary disparity adjustments for academic and proressional starr. The disparity committee of the 1982-85 contract, which had a good track record, ~ill be reco nvened, said Rudden. The committee's first charge will be to look at people who have I0 years or more service and arc below average salary for their rank. • UUP members are not lpsing • See UUP Agreement, page 2 �Merdl13, 11118 Volume 17, No. 23 T he gradu ate School of Social Work , once scheduled for "elimination." has embarked on a rebuilding. program to bring it into line with peer programs at Berkeley, Maryland , Michigan, and Wisconsi n.

Dinner and a ·show with John and Bertell By JOSE LAMBIET ohn LeBoutillicr looks like what the president of Accuracy in Academia should look like. He is tall and skinn~. his short brown hair is- well combed. and his face IS that of an intelligent and StOiC man. His classy grey suit is like James Bond's after a stunt: never wrinkled . To summari1e. he is verv much the con~ervativc Ivy leaguer. · Berte I Oilman looks like "hat a Marxist professor at New York University should look like. He is shoner and stocky. his curly hair is long at the back although absent in front: his face is covered with a greyish beard and adorned wilh thick. round glasses. His tic and the lir~t button of hi .!lhirt are undone; he wears a corduroy suit and a gold miner's hat bought . he said. in Cripple Creek. Colorado. To summari7c, he is very much the liberal Marxist philoso pher. LcBoutillicr, who at 27 was tl>e youngest congressman elected in 1980, v.as formerly the Republican representative for assau and Queens counties. The prc>ident of AlA graduated from Hanard with a master's in hiMory. He b also known for his book. Han•ard /la/e; Amrrica. He was paid S2.500 to appear at the debate. Oilman earned a Ph .D. in politics at Oxford University, England. ''It will be Oxford vs. Harvard." he said about the debate. He currently teaches a class called .. Marxism" at New York University and ha1; written a half dozen books. Left Academy among others. Oilman's fee to debate at U B was $1,500. . "Both have been very reasonable about their fees," commented the SA Speaker's Bureau's Bill Kachioff. SA sponsored the exchange between LeBoutillier and Oilman at the Katharine Cornell Thea{re, March 5. The two men are antagonists in almost everything .. But before and after 1he debate they were as civil to each other as one can be, calling each other "John" and "Berte!." They had nown together from cw York City the day of the debate and their room at a Holiday Inn were next to each other. At the pre-debate din.ner held by SA at Daffodil's, LcBoutlihcr and Oilman . argued as long-time friend> would: Talking about the format of the debate. Oilman jokingly requested a J two-hour opening statement. "It's better than the eight-hour manifesto you and Fidel were working OQ," replied LcBoutillier. And as these diaiQgues were taking place. heads at the table swun g alternately from the left. where Oilman sat. to the right. LcBoutillier's place. During dinner. topics ranged from Star Wars to Bernhard Goet7.. with stops at Ronald Reagan and America's farmers. . About Reagan, LcBoutillier said "he is a man like any other man." The AlA official also told anecdotes from behind ihe scene on Capitol Hill. "Congressional humor is like locker-room humor: dirt y sex joles.• he said. successful politician. LcBoutillier A pleased himself to give a few campaigning tips to the student leaders at dinner Bob Heary. David Grubler. and Kachioff. "It is always helpful to quote Kenned y or Roo sevelt ," he advised Grubler. But LeBoutillier also talked about hi~ pre ent work. "I have been devoting my entire life to POW's in Vietnam and Laos." he mused. "I predict that the problem will cause a big scandal in American politics before the end of the year. Some people in the government ha\e been covering up the fact that there orr POW's left in these countries. and they are not even trying to bring them back," he added. He cited Henry Kissin!er and Vice President George Bush among the main culprits. To Oilman's question as Lo what LeBoutilliu's role in the affair is. he replied si mply: ''I'm very involved." When he had to talk about AlA. LeBoutillier was just as noncommittal. At many times during dinner or at the debate, he appeared to have only vague ties with the Washington-based organization. ''I'm a spokesman for AlA. I represent them ," he said. LeBoutillier. who said he does not know if any material from UB has been submitted to AlA , said that he was asked a few mo'nths ago to become president of the organization.

I. At the heart of the intellectual endeav.ors of the university arc openness in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge and openneSs of discussion and criticism. Hence all fortf!S of covert evaluation of expression undermine the basic spirit of the university community. 2. For academ•c fr~edom to be real, the university must be protected from C;l(ttmal pressures' by self-appointed groups upon the process of evalu ation of its faculty and st aff. The univenity has its Own Jongstandin~. multi-leveled, and multiplyaccountable system of evaluation mechanisms. 3. Professors welcome intellectual challenge and dissent in their classrooms: mdeed. they customarily work hard to evoke it. It i5 pan of the profe.~ional responsibility of the sc ~- teacher to supply a wide range of interpretations and v1ews. to insist that the quest for knowledge will never produce conclusions totally above dispute. and to demand only that the terms of discussion must adhere to the norm~. of reason and logic. Further. the univcrsaty provides many other platforms and manifold opportunities. outside the classroom. for open debate and for the pr~ntation of all idea~. popular or no1. The exchange of ideas in a cri tical spiri t is fundamenta l to the acadc-mic ethos. 4. Given these facts, we reject any a11empt by ~elf-selected. unaccountable, nr Ideologically motivated groups of whatever pcnuasion to interfere in the exercise of academic freedom within the university. We note that such attempts cannot be for academic ends smcc they undercut the essence of the academic prol·ess, bting attuned to s;oa ls that are foreign to the basic purpose of the univcnity. 5. In the pa.u the administrative leaders of SUNY 1Buffalo have steadfastly upheld academic freedom and have indicated that thty will not be swayed from this course by , external forces. We expect this proud tradition to continue. Additionally we, tQ.e faculty and staff of SUNY I Buffalo. "" represented through Uftited University Professions, reiterate our determination to protect academic freedom wherever it is challenged. To the extent that intimidation may be auempted, we stand ready to defend any affected individual through our formal grievance procedure. through legal r.ffons, and through the democratic political process. 6. We conunue to st ress that the tenure ~y~tem •., essential to msurr academic freedom and we will oppose any attempt to v.eaken it. We insist that the entire process of peer evaluation for appointment. promo· tion. and review must be upheld. !tO that ·academ•c freedom and professional stan· dards will continue. 7. Lest there occur any "chilling effect .. on the expression of ideas, we draw particular attention to the provisions in our legally binding contract that insure academic freedom (Article 9) and that prohibit any evaluative use of anonymous and unsolicited statements regarding an individual - or even their placement in personnel files (Article 31.1). These guarantees are also part of the .. Policies of the Board of Trustees"' of our 'university. 8. The university must consistently guard not only academic freedom. but our Constitution's First Amendment right to free expression.

NORMAN SOLKOFF Professor. Dept. of Psychratry MFCSA wants divestment in USSR also EDITOR: Millard Fillmore College Student Association abhors apartheid. In conjunction with Sub Board I. Inc .. we support divestment but feel that divestment from South Africa is not enough. Many other nations are oppressed and suffering in the hands of totalitarian governments. Our Association urges the st udents of UB to give their support not only to divestment, hut also to withd rawing their funds from the institutions that support the liS-USSR Trade and Economic Council. The US-USSR Trade and EConOmic Council and its members lobby to separate human rights from trade policy in America's dealings Wtth the USSR. This is not surprising. since the US members of the Council (such as Archer Daniels' Dwayne 0. Andreas and Pepsico's Donald Kendall) head multinationals which will benefit· from trade deals with the Politburo. It is even less surprising when one notes that the Soviet members are the heads of Soviet trade and industry ministries. i.e. , government officials and members of the Party. The Sakharovs have suffered at the hands of the Soviet r'egime - illegally si nce their 1974 press conference when they urged Western reporters to relay their support for the then-pending Jackson-Vanik Ainendmem. Detente, said Andrei Sakharov, must serve to open up the repressive society of the USSR; without strings, he warned, the West would regret its relaxed policy toward the Kremlin. It is precisely such a relaxed policy that has been consistently promoted by the Trade Council; were such a policy advocated towards South Africa, the public outcry would be deservedly great. In the spirit of' linking human rights and economic activity, we urge the other student governments at UB to join with MFCSA in divesting not only from South Africa's apanheid system, but from the trade group that proposes profits over human rights in Eastern Europe. -·BARBARA L.

"We are here to promore academic freedom and freedom of speech,'' he started, after being cheered by kalf the audience of 150. The AlA official said his group is trying to prevent the political biases of professors from being reflected . in .t'he. grades of their students. He cited the example of some ~classes he attended at Harvard in which students who agreed .with the professor received higher grades than those who didn 't. "Some professors are trying to penalize their students' fr.eedom of ex pres-· sian," he char~ed. ·He also inststed that , although lie is' a Republican, ·he - opposes all types of biases in class. •• we are for fair g rad - :~ ing. Indoctrination is the role of polit ical parties, not 1eachers. The classroom should not be mis used to preach politics." LeBoutillier claimed AlA is not doing anything woi'SC\ than what 60 Minutes does every week. "Some campus groups and publications grade teachers anyway, so why not AlA?' he asked. tHe pronounced himself .. amazed" at the reaction to the country's university professors who .. reacted so violently that they enhanced our stature."

Hi s conclusion was grectCd ·Qy wil<i applause. B oth speakers were th en allowed, by moderator Bob Heary. a tO-minute recapitulation. LeBoutillier called Oilman "a hypocri te."

The chimps preferred 1\elle -as the leader because she would share most generously, and Rock was least preferred , Menzel said. However, Rock was by far the dominant animal. Therefore, the researchers set up a competition to see who would get the bigge r following, he explained. One pile of food was show n to Be)le and another to Rock . Belle always got the bigger follPwiog. Rock, being too timid to go out on his own, would follow Belle, then chase her away from the pile of food. Belle tried a number of taclies. First, she would sit on ·the pile until Rock left. Eventu ally, he caught on and would. shove her aside. Then s he tried simply si tting nea r the food. But as Rock g_a't · close r to the food , s he got restles s. And though she would sit looking , away from the p il ~. her body woukl face- it. Rock would pick up on the se clues. M enzel indica ted. So Belle tried goi ng in the o pposite d irection. When Rock ran ahead, she'd double back and get the food. The researchers then showed· Belle a large pile of food and 'a small pile. Before. Belle w"uld go directly to the large pile firs t. But' when Rbck wa~ there. she led him directly to the s mtl l pile and even uncov!red it for him. ' then zi pped off to the large pile. The anima ls were prett y good at remembering where things were hidden. even if there were seve ral caches. "They could find a Life Saver anywhe..,_ in that field." Menzel noted . They'd also remember what was hidden and communicate th at to the others. If the cac he was a model sna.ke rather than food. they'd move more cauti o usly, thei r hair would stand on end, and they'd throw sticks rather than investigate the spot with their hands, he said. From these and similar experiments. Menzel said, our attitudes have cha nged. Monkey science Do chimps have 'intelligence'? "0 By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ur assessment of animal intelligence has ch anged greatly over the years," according to Emil Menzel, professor of psychology at SUNY at S~ony Brook. uwhen it comes to communication skills and percep tion, we're just beginning to learn about ani mals: We're finding that wasps and bees are doing more complicated things than psychologists 50 ytars ago thought monkeys were capab!e of..:' Mc::n7cl recently gave a speec h here as part of the "U niquely Hu man" series s pon sored by UB's Anthropology Research Museur.n. MenLcl has conducted primate research at Yerkes Laboratories. now located at Atlanta. and the Delta Primate Center in Louisiana. Hi s early interest in monkeys began in India where he was born and lived until the age of 12. Trained as an experimental psychologist. Menzel said he is interested in animals in g roup situa tions, rather than individually. "Are chimps intelligent'" he asked. "In my own experience. some times the thing that's most persuasive is not the formal experimen t, but the cases you didn't expect." ..r To illustrate, he showed slides of things the chimpanzees at the Delta Primate Center cooked up themselves. In their fenced-in enc losure, the chimps would find a branch on the ground. balance it' upright. and climb on it until it fell over. Thn. seemed to be the same type of beh.-·ior the psyc hologi>t Wolfgang Ko hler had observed in monkeys durmg World War I. Menzel said. But what Kohler's monkeys did as a means to get food. Menzel's did for the sport of it. One day, the chimps had broken into the compound building adjacent to their enclosure. "The toilet was jammed. lab jackets were scattered, and one c himp confronted me with a machete ... Menzel quipped. The researchers discovered that the chimps got in by bracing a branch against th e building and climbing up. The chimps had made the tran si tion between using th~ branch as a climbing " pole and using it as a ladder. About 10 days after the chimps had broken into the house , they found their way into the trees. This was surprising since electric shock wires had been placed on the trunks to prevent the chimps from climbing the trc;es and doing damage. They had· accomplished it by using communica tion to set up their branch " ladders ." ne ch1mp called Rock would glance down at a branch on the ground. then at the top of the tree. He 'd then climb onto the long, narrow platform that was built ne~r th~ trees. taking the 10-foot branch With h1m. When Gigi. a chimp whom he had been raised with , walked over, Rock tapped her on the arm. He held the bottom of the branch with his feet while she ~et the top against the tree trunk, past the wires. Another tap was the signal to start climbing. In three weeks , seven of the eight chimps could perform Rock's fea"' They go t so good, the director o rdered all of the branches the chimps used for 0 climbing removed from the enclosure to give the trees a chance to recover. Kohler had a rgued that the type of behavior exhibited by these chimps was a variation of an intelligence test , Menze l explained."'The animals were able to figure out a way around an obstacle. But later studies had questioned that theory. arguing that chimps just have certain manipulative traits, Menzel said. (It was once thought th at toolusing was primarily a human trait , but it has eve n been found in birds and insects. he added.) "My feeling from the way in which the chimps kept expanding on what they knew before is that it's more intelligence than not , .. he said. "What they did. how they acquired it, and how it passed from one individual to another forms a somewhat diffc:reot picture." H intelligence was not involved, they might have figured out one thing. but not adapted it to new situations. This was not a behavior the researchers had trained them to do, but somethi ng the chimpanzees developed on their own. Menzel added. The behavior spread from one animal to the others and the chimps later passed it on to their children . a s nake or alligator. in· the grass. After showing it to o ne chimp, they wanted to see if th at ani mal could lead the others to it. Since the chimps were juveniles, they woUldn 't travel alone, Menzel explained . T he most dramatic signals came at the beginning of the study when the others wou ldn ) follow. The chimp would tap the others on the arm, then n formal experiments. Menzel wan ted to learn about the nature of chimp soc ietal organization , what animals cont rolled the movement of the group. and what determined chimps' spatial relations. The researchers would hide something appealjng, like food or toys, o r so mething frightening, like a model of look back . If the others weren't following. he 'd pull them by the ear, whimper, and grab them by the leg. Eventually the chimps caught on that this hide-and-seek game was done ever) day at the same time. They'd e\1en race ahead of the leader to get to the food first. No leader would keep all the food I "Even after working with chimpanzees for fifty years, one would never run out of interesting things to discover. " ~ " There is more a bility to communica te in non-human primates than we suspected before.'' hc ·said. It was once though t that animals could communicate emotion. but couldn't com municate about their environment, he noted. The zoologist Karl Von Frisch's experiments with bees. which indicated that the insects could communicate about their environment. were viewed as an exception. "Animal comm un ication patterns are a good bit more complicated and so phisticated than we thought some time ago," Menzel said. A set of ex~iments at Yerkes dealt with monkeys trying to reach an object through a hole in the wall. They couldn't see the object directly. but could see its image, and thC: image of .. their hand grop ing for the object, on a television monitor. Sometimes the resea rchers would Oop the image from right to left or turn it upsidedown. The chimps would tend to stan where the object looked as if it should be, but would correct themselves quickly. Working with mirror images is difficult, Menzel po inted out. "They had to learn to correct their actions in mid-course," he said. "It so und s sim ple. but it's much · more comp liCated ." Rhesus monkeys could find an object when looking through clear glass. "But if they could o nly see it in a. mirror, they were at a total loss," he said. "Other tests suggest that they can't recognize themselves in a mirror." Humans, chimps, orangutans, and gori ll as are probably the only animals that can p~rfo rm these mirror irpage tasks, he sa1d. Menzel noted he feels the same way abou t primates a! Von Frisch felt about bees- even after working with them for 50 years, one would never run out of things to discover. "I guess it just depends what beast you become Imprinted on," he concluded. 0 �A chronic Soviet Finding Solzhenitsyn took 15 years t took him 15 years to fully discover his elusi~e .Prey - the. - enigmatic ~lexander · Solzhenitsyn, subject of devilish rumor and ·enduring mystery. His goal was to write a biography of the s 'oviet writet. who had .once dismissed similar. attempts to describe his life as "ill.:.mannered ~nd immoral. " I In tile end, Michael Scammell was successful. finally producing a 1,000page acclaimed biography of the writer of Cancer Ward, The First Circle, and Tire Gulag Arc/ripe/ago. The British author and translator, a visiting fellow at Washingto's Ken.!lAIJ,. Institute for Advanced Russian ~ udies. lectured here March 5 on his detective-like search for th e "real" Solzhcnitsyn. From the start, the sea rch was loaded with difficulty, detours and frus tration . Also , said Scammell ... there arc problems that arise when one is working with material that emanates from a society Hke the Soviet Union which IS closely controlled and manipu¥ lated and which is 1·erv difficult to penetrate and obtain the t-ruth about. .. In 1969, Scammell's editor suggested a Solzhenitsyn biography after noticing parallels between A1y Testimony, a book by Soviet di ss ident Anatoly Marchenko which Scammell had translated. and several of Solzhenitsyn's works. especially A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisoviclr. Marchenko's book. Scammell explained , -was the first book which revealed to the world the size and existancc and nature of a Gulag after Stalin." But, Scammell said, the initial idea was only to produce a ·•quick summary" of Solzhenitsyn's li fe an d work. ~ince a full biography was impossible at the time. In 1969. Scammell explained 4 "Solzhenitsyn was a much more mysteriou s figure than he is today. In 1962, he had burst upon the world scene with the publication of A Day in tire Life of lwm Denisovich. No one had heard of him before. He had no track record and no known past. Over the subsequent years, it became known that he had been A political prisoner, for which reasons were not quite clear. Where he had served in camps wasn't clear, how he came to be released wasn't clear, what sort of life he led. what sort of person he was even. what his marriage situation was , whether he had children. none of this was known. Nonetheless, interest in him was very great." The biography set · in motion. Scammell began to gather material. Despite his knowledge of Soviet polities and Solzhenitsyn's work, however, Solzhenitsyn himself remained impervious to biographic .scrutiny. By this time , Scammell said, Cancer Ward and The First Circle had both circulated in samizdat, defined as Soviet government-suppressed writings that have been clandestinely printed and distributed. Also, The First Circle had been published in the West. "Although here was such a mystery man, such an enigma, I decided very naively that I would be the one to track him down. \ get him to spill tbe beans and give me the scoop that I wan t ed.~ S o Scammell set off for Moscow in 1970, hot on Solzhenitsyn ·s trail, or so he thought. A meeting with Solzhenitsyn never materialized. but he did meet with the writer'$ good friend and fellow dissident, Lev Kopelev. Scammell told Kopelev about the biography and aslced him to intercede on his behalf. plahned biography On' to Solzhenitsyn. Also Kopelev did correspond with :>Scammell when the latter returned home, answering a serie$ of questions with brief, untelling responses. But the letter included a note certain to dash all hope. -Kopelev went on to ex.plain the million reasons w1ay Solzhen1tsyn could not cooperate with a biographer. certainly not with me. "Nevertheless. I decided that I "ould •· make an attempt to write it. an amus· i~ notion as I look back." Scammell's attempt to sequester hil11lielf in a cot· tage, away from wife and children. was a "fiasco.,.. The resulting 50,000 words proved to be of little value. For on thing, what interested Scammell the most "was precisel y the man and this was precisely the area in which I had the least amount of information . ~ N ow it was 1972 and Scammell threw his auentions elseespecially his new magazine Index on Ctn.sorship which examined literary censorship, among other issues. •In 1973. the British writer again traveled to Moscow. th is lime representing his maga1ine and meeting ··with juM about every know Sov1ct literary dis~ident ai the time.

I had not realized quite the danger and delicacy of Solzhenhsyn's situation at this time. It was just two years since he had released his open letter to the Soviet Writers' Union in which he had attacked the Soviet government and the Soviet authorities for the first time. It was less than a year since he 'd been expelled from the Writers' Union, And he had, in fact, gone into hiding. "Also, what I didn ~ realize at the time was that his first marriage to Natalia Reshetovskaya had virtually broken down, that he w.. engaged in acrimonious divorce proceedings and , in fact, was already .involved with his present wife, Natalia Svetlova, who was already expecting their first child. · in other words, I couldn ~ have come at a worse time .~ Still, Kopelev did pass news of tbe • By ANN WHITCHER • The airport incident, though clearly unpleasant, did bring favorable results. Solzbenit.yn, who had learned· of Scammell's air~ort detention through · Kopelev, descpbed it in his autobiographical memoir, The Oak and the Calf. Said Scammell: "Unintentionally, I had come in to his consciousness, I'd even bee n some use to him. This was to prove of some assistance very shortly." Fall and winter of 1973 were "very tense times" for the Russian writer. revealed his biographer.

The conference was sponsored by the Depanments of Modern Languages and Literatures, History, and the Faculty of Ans and Letters. ,4 "'Significant infonnatiQn is squcez.ed between insignificant announcements,., said' Anna Sypula. a native of Kiev, who tived with ncr husband in Poland during mania) law, escaping to the United States with her daughter two years ago.

''What is on the level of world importance they have to publish. but they want to undermine it," she explained . By contrast, information on the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger probably was run on the front page of Pravda. the official Soviet newspaper , and used to point out shortcomings of the US space program, its defense programs. and other US policies th at affect the Soviet Union, she speculated. By and large, information ~s !-.carce in the Soviet Union, not only mformation about the world, but informatiOn about the country. its politics. and its people. Information that we take for granted in the West does not exist in the Soviet Union, and there are no openlv contrasting opinions. '' ln. the Soviet Union, there is only one (source of) information and no po:,sibility to get o ther opinion:..." said Sypula. By contrast, when she moved to Poland with her husband. she discovered that not only were politics openly discu:,sed, they were argued. "I never remembered people in my neighborhood (in Kiev) discussing politic; as they did in Poland." she mdicated. Sypula also became aware of lapses in the teaching of history in the Soviet Union. For example, she noted, even many years after his death. Stalin's atrocities were not public knowledge in the Soviet Unio n, as they were in Poland. Even information on ·current evenb i.s not geherally known·. " " While I was in tbe Soviet Union, I fo und it very difficult to fmd information on the war in Afghanistan. " she said. No information was available on how many Soviet soldiers we re fighting in that coun t ry , or how many troops had been lost. ~ . This deanh of information includes personal knowledge that in this country IS considered a right. not a privilege. "Soviet reluclance to provide infOImatioa extends to hospitals," Sypula said. "Soviet doctors won't tell their patien ts the truth about their diseases." L ack of information on the opportunities availa.ble to women in other parts of the world also keeps Soviet women at a disadvantage. "The sOviet government does nothing for Soviet women," she said. "Only when l got to Poland did I realize how far behind Soviet women are, even compared to their Polish counterparts." These inequalities begin in the home and extend to the labor market. In the Soviet }Jnion, she noted , women perform "'dirty manual labor," such as laying roadways. Appliances Anna Sypula: news Is censored. that a Western woman could not live without are not even available. For example, Sypula said, while in the Soviet Union. she did laundry in a wringer washer; however~ after moving to Poland. she found that women in that count ry had been using automalic washing machines for a decaOc. Even appliances such as automatic dishwashers were available. Basic consumer goods also are not available to Soviet women. '"Non-existent are sanitary napkins. maternity clothes, baby formula, and diapers," she said. "In the Soviet Umon, the only alternative to having a child is having an abortion . . . .

"U'nbeknown st to me or anyone else, the manuscript had been in the US for five years and had been worked on. But it turned out that the translation was still in draft form ~ still very much unready. It needed revisio n. And I was asked to come to New York and undertake that revision. 1 was in New York working on that book when Solzheni!syn was expelled in January, 1974. · . "Interestingly enoughr I spoke with him the .day after his expulsion. He said Something whirh he repeated later in a press confer .:nee and which is worth recalling. Solzhenitsyn was convinced that had the American edition of The Gulag Archipelago· appeared before he was expelled, his exp ulsion wou ld not have taken place.·: 'At the time, Scammell · explained, t~ere .was a great deal of disillusionment with detente in the West. "The statements of Solzhenitsyn and Sak- . .harov were appearing in the ~ tern press on an almost daily basis. The activitits of the Savitt aUlhorities in trying to crush the other dissidents were receiving great publicity. And Solzheni!syn fell that if this book could have appeared in the West, particularly in America, th'a t world public opinion would have prevented hiS expulsio ~ personally doubt that this was the case. But there 's no question that he ferve ntly believes it." fter his expulsion. Solzhenitsyn A and his family went to Zurich. The 6iography remained 'only a slim possibility. There were formidable obstacles, cxpecial\y Soh.henitsyn's previous repudiation of a biography by David Burg and George Feifer, p'ublished in 1972. Announced the Soviet writer: "I understand that certai n biographies of me are due to appear shortl y in the West. including some that will cont ai n information of a mainly non-litera ry cha racter. This information is being co Uected by the authors without my knowledge o r my agreement, often in dark and roundabout ways by inter~ view ing people who knew me at one time o r another, ·but who are often not info rmed at all. Material collected in this manner is supplemented with imaginary facts and motivations which have to. be invented since the true circumstances and motives of my work cannot be known to anyone. " And then , said Scammell, came the "clincher." Said Solzhenitsyn: "The collection of inform8tio n in this wiy i~ no differ nt from police spying. I regard the publication of such biographies during an author's lifetime as illmannered and immoral."' But the project still had ijfe. That yea r, Solzhenitsyn's Swiss attorn~y. Dr. Fritz Heeb, invited Scammell to Zurich for "several discussions," including a review of the memoirs that had been published by Solzhenitsyn's ex-wife. These, Scammell says in his book , had bee n " heavily cut and tendentiously edited. •· In Zurich, Scammell wrote a "detailed analysis" of the typescript of these memoirs, finding that " they had been obviously tampered with, presumably by the K.GB. " The Russian author pronounced himself impressed with Scammell's command of the facts of his life and career. "He showed me and allawed me to make notes on a copy of his ex-wife's typescript on which he himself had made notes. At the time, thf: idea was that l would write a review of the memoirs in so mething like the Times Uterary Supplement or the New York Review of Books, in which l would point out these discrepancies and distortions." There were problems with thi s approach, though. "One was that to wnte about the book at length would also serve to draw attention to it. There was a question whether it was worth dignifying with that amount of attention." Surely, Scammell told the Nobel Prize·winning Writer, .. it would be much better t o confront the memoirs not with a refutation but with an alternative, much more authoritative version of his life, produced by none other than myself with his coope ration." The somewhat fickle Solzhenitsyn finally gave the okay, but only under ce rt'!-in conditions. "When I inquired what these .conditions were, they were that I, or any biographer, should not distort his positions, should not misrep. resent hjs actio~ or his views, etc. I said this was acce ptable but that any writer of a book had to have the last word. In ot her words , he or she could not hand over final judgment to an6ther person. even the su bject of the book." I here was another impediment to Seamniell's quest. After the Moscow ai rport incident, Scammell ·Was unable to obtain a visa to return to the USSR, thus precluding first-hand , onthecspot interviews with Solzhenitsyn 's friends -and assoCiates. He also had to sort through the mass of biographical 1 data that became available while writing the boo k. · T Fifteen years in the making. the biography was published in 1984. It has since been hailed as an objective treatment of Solzhenitsyn's life. John Gross of the New York Tin,tes found it "enthralling," Wrote V.S. Pritchett in The New Yorker: " His excellent book is objective a~ scholarly." The verdict from the Solzhenitsyn camp, however, is apparently' thumbs down. When the book came out, Scammell sent the writer. a copy. No S caritmell left Zurich with matters unresolved. Correspondence foUowed but Solzhenitsyn would still "hesitate and prevaricate. One day he would be hot, the other day cold. I had AO sense ·that he would cooperate in such a venture." ...... Then came an unexpected break: through in the British Museum. While studying British military maps of the area of the' North Caucasus Mountains where Solzhenitsyn 's• paternal ancestors . had lived , 'Scammell found the markings for his grandfather's fa! m which Solzhenitsyn had visited only once. Here. Solzhenitsyn's father had grown up. This was the father who had died in a hunting accident six months before Solzhenitsyn's birth. Not allowed to photocopy the map. Scammell made a tracing ·and sent it off to Solzhenitsyn. There was no immediate reply save for a "friendly note" from the author's . wife. But m June 1977, Scammell was invited to Cavendish, Vermont, where the Solzhenitsyns had. re~ntly moved . The purpose: to interview the famou s writer for purposes of the long-planned biography. There followed a week of extensive interviewing, outdoOrs in the warm summer evenings and often accompan· ied by a glass of beer. Scammell asked Mrs. Solzhenitsyn what could possibly have caused her huSband to change his mind. "She said it was the discovery of his grandfather's farm on the map." Touched by tbe discovery, he reportedly told his wife, "This man is serious. let him come." After Vermont, Solzhenitsyn continu ed to answer Sca mmell's questions by letter. Eventually, however, )le indicated that reviewing his past interfered wi.th his present work. Scammell and Solz.l!enitsyn stopped corresponding in 1979. , Scammell then discussed even more complex obstacles. to his sleuthing. There were the official distortions, for one thing. Writes Scammell in his book: " ln printing the bare facts of his biography, the (Soviet) newspapers emphasized h is distinguished war record and played down the facts of his imprisonment and exile. pointing out that he had suffered from 'groundless political accusations' from which he had since been excu lpated. A year later he was nominated for the Soviet Union's mo st pres tigiou s literar y award , the Lenin Prize, and only nar· rowly missed winning it. When the attitude of the authorities began to change, so did 'history.' Solzhenit syn became •a mediocre writer with an exaggerated view of his own importance,' who had 'abandoned his conscience' and was socially dangerous." Publications in the USSR and elsewhere often took "kernels of truth" and embellished them, so that truth became difficult, if not impossible, to discern , said the visiting lecturer. To make matters worse, Solzhenitsyn himself had indulged in " biographical manipulation," a fact which he admitted to ScammeU during the Zurich meeting. "He would release only a few facts in a certain order. And in tbe interviews he gave to Western correspondents foUowinj! his expulsion, he again released certam facts but suppressed others.

Engineering opens a new facility a ' T I By DAVID C. WEBB he Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences has opened a f~'Fe~~~ ~~F.h.ics laboratory Th~ Computer Aided · Design and Computer Aided Engineering (CAD_CAE) Laboratory has two Prime computers that. can be a.ccessed by 19 termmals dcs1gned for gcaphics applica, tto.ns. The compu~ers also can be accessed _by personal computer through the University"s network . . Estimiued cost of tbe equipment in· the CAD-CAE lab is $600,000, and the laboratory is available to aca~mic as well as industrial researchers investigating computer applications in eAgi- tiecring. -. . ' The computers usc several engineermg software programs, inclUding the l'nme MEDUSA two- and threedimensional drafting and solid . modeling program and Prime Computer's SAMMIE human modeling program. Other software is jlVailable. mcluding the DADS dynamic analysis program, the A SYS finite element analysis ' pac kage. the IMSL mathematics hbrarx. and the Tektronix IGL graphic!<~ Ulllity. . ' B researchers have an ''attractive grant package .. from Prime Computer. Inc., to study its SAMMIE software. according to Charles T . Brunskill. coordinator of engineering computer services. In addition, other granting agencies arc supporting research on other graphics software. he principal computer is Prime's 9750. which has an 8 megabyte memory capacity! and has the potential to be accessed 'by I 00 ports. For now, 32 portS arc being used. Coupled to th iS computer is Prime' 550, which has 4 megabytes of random-access memory. It ~ major function is to provide computer power for special complex programs. so it has minlffial access for users. "The two computers act almost as one entity." Brunskill remarked . The hard <tisk system for the laboratory has a total capacity of 1.2 gigabytes in four units 1300 megabytes each) . The large memory capacity in the disk system and computers is necessary 10 support the relatively complicated programs uoed for graph· ics applications. Connected to the computers are four Tektronix 4109 graphics terminals with digitized pads, wh1ch provide quality ~raphics entry and display. Other graphICS terminals in the laboratory include 'five Prime PT200 business color graphics terminals and ten DEC VT241 graphics terminals. According to Brunskill, the labora. tt?ry is run by. graduate assistants under :;. h1s direction and used by students to complete course \;\'Ork ... Graduate and 'Undergraduate students gain exposure to the facility through the many departmentally offered CAD and computer graphics courses." he indicated . Graduate students in the Manufacturing Systems Engineering program can integrate t e "' D soft ware with software designed for rticular manufacturers. Brunskill said. The computer design facility has applications ir all engineering areas. For instance, electrical engineering student!\ can design electrical circuits. Mechanical engineering students can integMte mechanical systems with the DADS software. Industrial engineering T . he National Science F.i1undation T and Harrison Radiator in Buffalo have also awarded research grants to Neel ·· students can dtsign consumer products or work environments with the SAMMIE software. Local indust ry may also take advantage of this resource. Brunskill said short courses in computer aided design for the working engineer are being planned. ''Companies planning to enter or expand their own CAD-CAE activities are inviied to visit the facihy and to discu s possible cooperative endeavors." he said. The industrial liaison for the laboratory is Charles G. DeWald, Ph.D., adjunct professor of electrical and computer engineering. Coordinating academic instruction and research is Andres Soom. Ph.D .. associate professor of mechanical• and ae rospace engineeriog. ;'This laboratory is competitive with any CAD lab in a major university," Brunskill said. rime's SAMM IE software can be used for designing many different human environments, including ki tchens, automobiles, airplane cockpits, or work places. A model of a human being is drawn in the environment which is to be designed. Programs can be designed to calculate whether the model can reach all the knobs on a control console, for instance. An added feature of the software is tlja! the drawing can be projected as if the operator is looking through the eyes of the human model. The designer can also place a mirror in the model's field of view and see the mirror view from the model's viewpOint. Adjustable parts of the equipment can be made to move, so the desi$ner can check all possible pOSlltOnS. Under a grant from Prime Compu: ter, Samuel G. Schiro, Ph.D., assistant. professor of industrial engineering, and Brunskill are studying ways to add new features to the SAMMIE program. The program can size its human model to represent different statures and body sizes in addition to representing the average human shape.' The program develops the model from data bases of information on arm length, leg length, Prof. Samuel G. Schiro demonstrates new equipment lor Charles Crawford from Cable News Network. overall height, and so on. Schiro is investigatiog the possibi lity of adding different data bases to the model which would be appropriate for different populations that a designer might wish to accommodate. .. Many companies must demonstrate that their products will be usable by mixed male and female operators," Sch~ro said . " By adding this feature to SAMMIE, data on different human dime~sions can be incorporated into the des1gn process much more quickly." Schiro is also studying the addition K. Mani, Ph. D., assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. to investigate applications of fhe DADS (!?fsign and Ana,lysis of Dyna mic Systems) software marketed by CADSI in Oakdale, Iowa. This program assists the designer in building computer models of mechanical systems, which can be made to move. Mani is investigating new methods of doing the simulations... I am look.ing at ways to make the program more practical for normal use,"' he said. One aspect of his researCh_is to per· form ·•design sensitive analysis ... For instance, if an automobile has a suspension that is too rough, the designer will be able to locate factors that . would make the ride smoother. The DADS software can be applied ~o ma!ly differ~nt mechanical systems. 1ncludmg machme tools, manufacturing systems, and ho~ appliances. Under an NSF grant. the engineerin g· school has ordered an Evans and Southerland PS340 terminal, which will improve the animation capabilities of the lab. The terminal has a 3-megabyte memory of its own for· making objects move and rotate in real time without clea_r~ng the screen and redrawing each pOSitiOn. 0 Engineers honor Dr. Soong research for his projects is done on UB's earthquake simulator in the Earthquake Engineering and Systems Technology Center.

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

P11Qe 11 / s~te University of New York lAB punts athletics decision to Trustees U B' athletic future lies squarely in the hands of the SUNY Trustees, following last week's recommendation for upgraded intercollegiate competitiOn made by the presidentially-appointed Intercollegiate Athletic Board (IAB) The Board beli_eves membership in Division l (with the football team classified lAA) is an appropriate long-term goal for the program ~a goal thaf could be realized within five years- IF: I) The SUNY Trustees make it possible for U B to offer athletic grants-inaid· and · i) A significantly increased level of funding is forthGoming from the State, the alumni, students, and the community. Without both of these, the report counsels, Division I status will be impossible, despite the "benefits" it would bring to the University. Among these pluses, the report writers listed, would be enhanced student life, strengthened alumni-university relations, and further improvement of relationships with the community. While the Trustees can open the door, so to speak, large scale institutional and pri\l.ate support will be necessary to keep it open. · • See lAB, page 2 �Men:htl,1818 Volume 17, No. 22 lAB From page I At a press conference last Friday, ., President Steven B. Sample endorsed the report's findings , calling UB's Div· ision III program an .. anomaly" among 1 -!JIC\ior public institutions. But, si nce Division I co mpetition requires grants-in-aid, Sample said , this raises the question with the SUNY Trustees. The Trustees outlawed such gra nts o n the part of the Univers~ty in 1973 and , in· 1975, an administrative decision on the part of SUNY Central Ad ministration extended the prohibition to incl ude suc h Universityaffiliated · agencieS" as campus-related.. fo undat io ns, FSAs, etc. · In Sep tember 1984, the Trustees fail«! to adopt a-pf!l'posal to removt t.he ban on a sys teffi-wide basis. Butl said Sample. several Trustees told him that that action was not meant to in hibit plans that airy cam pus might \\ish ~o make for ,upgrading ath letic programs, e\'en if such plans call for offering g rants-in-aid. Sample said he 'had forwarded the report of the lAB (which was chaired by Prof. James C. Hansen of Co unselmg and Educational Psychology and involved three other faculty, four studerits. three administrators and an a lumnu;) to SU Y C han cellor C lifton R. Wharton. Jr .. asking Wharton to wod. "··itlubc Trustees to make it pos:.lble for l111s campus to offer grants-inaid. "The ball is no" in SUNY's court,·· Sample said. " In transmitting this proposal to Chancellor Wh:uton. we arc reques ting that the present administrative imc rpretatton of the SUNY policy on athletic grants be changed . or that the policy ilself be changed. to permit u~ to proceed with the recommendation to upgrade to Division I status." Sample elaborated . The Prc;ident said Wharton had been "rccepti\e .. in conversations about the repo rt . but would obviously wa nt to talk with his staff or members of the Trustee.:, before offici!Hy reacting. Two local Trustees seemed somewh:it optimistic about the proposal'!t chances. Dr. George L. Collins said he hadn'l seen the report yet on Monday, "but I know that the Trustees will seriously consider the proposal." Arnold Gardner of Buffalo noted that .. , voted in favor of Division I sports at UB last year. ThiS time. if a svstem can be devised so that no State nioney has to be spent. I will also be in favor. The program,should be funded by the community. the alumni. and it should ';trictly follow CAA rules. President Sample already assured us that the program will be in absolu te compliance with the NCAA. It is a big job, but it is worth it. and it will be good for the campus ... lAB chair Hanse n noted that h1s panel i!t prepa red - following a decision on grants-in-aid and a commilment from University officials to find the necessar} financial resources - to lay out a· five-year staging plan to move through Division II to D ivision I athletic sta tus. Hansen reiterate-d his earlier statement rhat an upgtading o nly 'to Division II, in the Board's opi nion. ·•would not accomplish any significant change in quality of campus life. aJumni relations. or community support." Hansen said that the committee had found that other univer~ities stud ied by his panel provided four to 10 times more financial s upport for intercollegiate athletics than t~$68 1.000 from all sources now spent annually by UB. Co mparable institutions also have significant ly more full-time coaChes and support personnel, Hansen indicated. This leads to two important questions beyond grants-in-aid. he noted: I) Can the institution provide the number of positions required to support the development of a Division I program? and 2) Cali long-te rm support be obtai ned from key co nstituents, t.e., faculty, st udenLS. a lumn i, and th e Western New York community? In 1971 , even before SU Y ou tlawed grants-in-aid, the University W<l!) forced to drop its then Divisio n I football program because of a deficit of approximately $400,000 which four yea rs of administrative and alumni efforts had failed to make a dent in. Bob Heary, presidenl_ of the undergraduate Student Association. a member of the lAB, agreed that University students would benefit from an upgraded sports program. "'S pirit and pride will increase dramatically." he noted . In response to media questions, Hansen said the intention is to raise fund ; for athletic schplars hi ps through the Univers ity at Buffalo Foundation. Inc ., and that the upgrad ed programs would apply equally to men and women. The money would be disbursed through the Intercollegiate AJhletics Board and the Provost. The board and Going to Division I could mean a substantial improvement in student life. agrees Provost William R. Greiner. He emphasized that resources will not be taken from intra.rilurals and given to intercollegiate athletics ; Insiead. both programs should be ·upgraded . In no way will academics suffer. he ]greed with Sample and the board. "As chief academic officer, I'm not · going to divert resources from the 1lcademic programs,"' Greiner stated.

B.J. KOEKKOEK Professot of German Gardner applauds Sample's stand on freedom EDITOR: I read with great interest the February 20 issue of the Reporter on the subject of Academic Freedom. In reaffirming principles expressed years ago by Chancellor Capen, President Sample has distinguished both himself and the State University. A university which fails to .. tolerate among its members any views on any subject and ,thC free expression of them" disavows the very reason for its existence. Occasional threats to academic freedom have a perverse vai'ue in Lhat they remind us of first principles. It is not surprising, but no netheless ru.ssuring to see that the State University is still true to that faith . officers. not police officers. Although SUNY Peace Officers possess some po\liers of police officers. such as the powCr to serve search and a~st warrants. for the most part. they are hampered. as peace officeo;, in _performing their duties. Where police officers, regardless of whether inside Lheir geographical area of jurisdiction Or not. retain their authority, Siate University Peace Officers. beCause of their status as peace officers. and restriCtions conlained in the Education Law, automatically lose .their'· peace officer status an<t firfd themstlves acting as citizens in most cases while perfo·rming" routine au'-it! off tlte campus. Although the range of duties performed · by officers and investigators off campus ._ : varies from campus to campU$. Lhey range from "routine medical transports and follow· up investigations to crime scene sea rches and arrests. Naturall)', , the larger urban campuses. such as US. because of their more severe crime problems. would need to act off campus m o ~e often. Rural campuses ~~ face th.eir .own unique problems because of • the lim ~ted number Of police working in those • eas. · For the officers on the street. they find themsehes. when orr campus. based on a recent SUNY legal opinion. acting. many times not only as citi7ens. but also iHegally. While lliligently making attempts to provide services. protect the campus community and its property. and apprehend criminals. they are. as SUNY Central should be. worried about lawsuits and indemnification and workers compensation protection. They know they lack the authority and ceni!in protections. such as -probable cause," necessary for them to properly perform the job expected of them by the public and their superiors. The average person may have a e ifficult time undtn-tanding the need to Perform many of these duties or the need to retain their police powers. Much of this is fostered by a Jack of knowledge about the Jaw or their misconception of the complexities of a functioning campus police depanment . Contrary to many people's beliefs. the change in law would not expand the duties or Public Safety Officers nor would it create an added burden. Officers would not interfere with duties of off campus police, but would gain the potential for gleater cooperation. The ultimate end ~ould be greater protection for the officer performing his job. and, by allowing him more flexibility in tracking down and apprehending criminals. a safer campus. The Bpard of Trustees h3s a decision to make: give SUNY Peace Officers the authorit y ·they need , or not act and cripple the law enforcement effon needed to make our campuses a safer place to live and work . 0 - DONALD S.

Take heart. A they say in physics. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That reaction was apparent at a recent S tud ent Association Assembly meeting. when the UB Greens vo iced op position to a proposal that calls upon the Univefsi ty to publish incourse handbooks informatiol'l that UB student s can cross-register for R0TC cou rses held at Canlsius College. and would provide office space here for dissemi natio n of ROTC information.

The occupants are "not going to have an easy life once this starts." according to Donald Larson. associate vice president in the Office of Clinical Affairs. The sequence of moves ~ill begin later thi s spring when th e CaryFarber-Sherman addition is acce pted by the University and a few departments begin to move in. The moves will end. if everything goes according to plan, so mewhere in the neighborhood of 1994-1995. ··once we get the Cary-Far berSherman ~ddition ope ned up and the Dental s;chool into Squire Hall. there will be a sequence of moving out and turning over older portions of the complex to the construction company. so they can gut and ren ovate them." ,Lar.on said. '"Then we will refill those portions. make sure the next space IS empty, and start to move a~ain." Larson pointed out that &rcat care is being taken to ensu re that offices make the fewest moves possible, and that all moves are as convenient as possible. but he said that some groups may have to move twice. Because of expensive and cumbersome equipment. Physiology and (to a lesstr extent) Biophysics will have to relocate twice during the process. A circular submergenc.e pool. similar to a sw~mming pool used for underwater experiments. and a human centrifuge shifts will continue until 1994 which are housed in herman Hall cannot be moved . Therefore. Physiology must leave during the renovation s and rewrn when the work is completed. ""lt"s not like takin&. baggage from one dorm room to arlbther.'' Larson said. " It is not like the people at Ridge .' "It's not like moving baggage from one dorm room to another, it's not like moving out of Ridge Lea. " Lea who arc moving into a new building" and can do so in one move. arson. who has been working with AI Ryszka, assistant for campu~ purchasing. and Albert Dahlberg. director of facilities management. outlined the projected series of moves. noting that the details "arc ::!11 a matter of L civil rights for people throughout the world. ··we have re'!l radical ideas like war is a bad thing and people shouldn't be hungry," Fisher said facetiously. , " I think in 200 years they will look back Qn (our society) and say, 'wow. barbarism. People dying from lack of he at? Peo ple d yi ng from lack of fol>d?' "Grajeda said . " lt"s like the joke, "Mr. Gandhi, what· do vo u th in~ of Western civilization?' ·oh: I think it"s a good idea,' " Cox' quipped. · Tbe Gree ns· firm· belief in civil right> leads them to oppose ma ny US governme nt policies . Activities are • l being held to emphasize their support for people of oth~r nations who·"the> feel arc being' tre~ted ~ nfairly. The Greens were among the sponsors of the fecent Rally for Democracy in the Philippines here. and Monday"s Pledge of Resistance. held at the Federal Building and aimed at protesting any escalation of the war in Central America. U pcomiqg programs iti~lude a slide · show to discuss the situation in Nicaragua. a rally conce rn.ing icaragua to .be held in C.ape.n Hall, and an anticensorship film festival. An informa-. tionaJ m~ing also. is being pfanned: detail will be availab le in tbe calendar section of the R~porler. "" All our programs are •!med at ge ll ing information out there,.. Fisher sa id . Their programs also strive to emphasin the ways that issues are connected . ··we "ant to get tho>e kinds of ideas into the medta so people can think about ho" they can change their world " by changing their lives," Cox said. The Green~ arc acuve supporters of the Naiive American co nsciOusness. Grajeda empha ized. a feeling of being ··one with the land. A part of na~re instead of being apart from nature. Working with the land instead of concentrating on dominating the land ... For more information on the Green~. call Fisher at 838-3536 or GraJeda at 838-2860. 0 if~· and maybes." • When the Cary-Farber-Sherman addition is completed. sometime this spring. many . teaching programs will begin to mo\'e in o"~Aer the s ummer. Programs in Anatomy. Microbiology, Pathology. Pharmacology. and others will move into the new addition. At the same time. the School.of Dental Medicine will begin to move into the reno\•ated Squire Hall . Except for the office of the dean and vice prc~idcnt for clinical affatrs. ttfls move wtll be made en ma)se. The Dean Vl'"s Office wtll be moved temporarily into another building." ''Moves can't stan until the equi pment i~ in place." Larson said ... Some cages and equipment for the animal unit have to be designed and there arc varying delivery dates." Unti l student lockers and all the equipment are in plocC. there is no reaSon to. lllQVC. he said. ''Any delay in the process. a delay m letting a cont ract, would add to the .. ttme it takes · to move everybody.'' he noted . • After the groups havi: moved into · the addition. a major portion of the origtnal Farber Hall will be emptied and renovated. This is scheduled to take unttl 1989. When that is finished. "people in Anatom y will move back in. a certain amount of Biochemistry" and other groups and equipment will also be moved. Larso n said. • .The rest of Farber •will hen be gutted and renovated . as will pans of Caryfnand Sherman. This brings the proc s up to 1992. "So c people will make one mO\·e. some two. There is an extremely rare possibility that somebody will have to move three times ... Larson said. • Final "ork on the bulk of Cal) Hall. which will be done in two sections. is scheduled for comp1etion around 1994-1995. ""When everybody moves tnto Cal) , (the process) wiU be totally finished."" and everyone will be in their final building, he said . If all goes according to plan . researchers can expect their projects to be interrupted for -no more than a week or two... Larson pointed out. however. that ~ delay in any part of the process will push back the completion date. '" People will be reclusttred and the spatial limit on research will be cleared. We can expect more productive and efficient research,- Larson said. P lans are also being developed to provtde for more efficient removal and transport of office equipment. La.rson said that carts may be made available to allow researchers to break down and transport their machine~ in the manner they think will be eastest. Equipment that is under a service contract will have to be moved by the companies involved, however. The constructiori and renovation will benefit the occupants greatly once all the moves are complete and people can ge t back to a (egular work schedu le. Larson said. Uttli ty shUt-offs and power surges from .the construction being done _o_n the addition have hampered the actiVIties of some occupants of Cary-,FarberSherman for months. Larson sa1d. Increased lab spa~e. a new faculty and staff lounge. and warmer offices are just some of the beni:lits of the renovation , he said. 0 (? �M•n:h 6, 1986 Volume 17, No. 22 THURSDAY•& LECTURE• • S hirlt)' WOO'i, Henan University, Kaifong, China, "China's Developing" Democracy," 213 Old Main March 21.

"To Your Benefit" 15 a biweekly column pre'{:~~d by the Beneftts AdmmisUattOn sectiOn ol '\ersonnel Department. �March 6, 1986 Volume 17, No. 22 - ~ CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO S FTEs everal models for apportioning FfEs in the undergraduate col· lege were discussed • this week ' by the Faculty Senate's Edu- cational Programs and Policy Committee and Jarries Bunn, vice provost for undergraduate education. For undergraduate courses, FTEs (full-time equivalent student workload) are calculated by dividing the nu?nber of student credit-hours by 15. It's widely perceived that FfEs are critical in deciding how resources shoulc( be allocated. noted Thomas Headrick , chairman of the Educational Programs and Policy Committee and a professor of law. Therefore. a department would be reluctant to have one of its facult y members teach in the undergraduate college if that res ulted in the department losing FfEs. In o ne model for the college, the department Would simply get the credit as it dGes now. In a second model. the numbe r of FfE> wou ld be calculated for the col- · lege. as a unit. Headrick .explained: That figure "would be divided by the number of .. senior members .. or faculty in the college. resulting in an average FfE. r\o matter what the ~i1e of his or her course. each faculty member would rccei"c the same average FrE cred it The FfE; >till "ould be orcdited to th e _department. An advantage of thi!<~ ~ystem is that it v.ould gi\'c the college more flexibility, Headrick explained. Instructors wouldn't have to worry as mJ,Jch about teaching smaller classes because they would get the same amount of FTE credit no mauer how smaJI the class. Hov.cvcr. if this average turns o ut to be much !:>mallcr than the number of FrE~ the instructor would have generated in Iu s or her department. the department could be unhappy . third model would treat the college A a department and allot the FTE!:> v.hcre the course!> arc taught. Formula needed for apportioning tbem between departments & new college I three-q uarters, to the dtpartment. That would preserve the department, unless the- department loses a big I"TE generator ....__ someone who teaches a large course, Headrick noted. A fourth model. proposed by Charles H.V. Ebert, pmfessor of geography,. would sp lit the FfEs for each course. There arc two Kinds of cour~es to be taught in the college: existing i•se~ict: " cOurses and new· ..common e)lperience" courses to be developed especially for the college. For e>:.i~ttng service courses, ·the department would get the larger percentage of the FfEs generated by that course. say 75 per cent, while the college would get the remaining 25 per cent. · For new "common experie-;,ce .. · courses. the situation would be reversed. Tlie college would get the la rger percentage of the'O FfEs. and the department wou ld get the remainirig · amount. The advantage of this system, Ebert pointed out, would be a better distribution of the FTEs without having to choose between the department and the ~ ge. Hcadnck noted that part of the problem with FTEs is the pcrcci\cd use of the,m. If these and related figures are only some of the factors used in reso urce decisions. then what the othe r factor~ are and how decisions are made should be explained more clearly so there isn't a misconception of the importance of Fl'Es. he suggested.

Although Spera'> playing career ha,) ended. his coaching career may have just begun because. while no" a dcnt~l student at UB. he is also the men's junior varsity basketbnll coach. Spera had wanted to come to UB C\1Cn before attending Syracuse. but found himself unable to turn down a chance to play basketball at one of the nation's premier basketball schools. "I had been interested in UB before, but I really wanted to play," said Spera. And who could blame him? It's not every 18-year-old who gets to play in front of 30,000 fans and agains( the best competition in the nation ... 1 liked it a lot," noted Spera, "and I tried to enjoy it as much as I could because I knew it would be over a lot sooner than I thought. " Syracuse is a basketball-crazed cit~·. and it is difficult for most players to adjust to ih winning-is--everything attitude and to being looked at as heroes by many people. But thi~ wasn't so for Spera. "The adjustment from high :,chool wasn't too bad for me. Some guys have a lot harder time than other:,. Some just can't do it," he said. And what about being looked on a> hcroc~? "You orr put on a pedestal." Spera admitted. But, there is also a down side to being a Division I basketball player at Syracuse. "It works both ways ," noted Spera. '"there's rescnunent and jealousy by some )tudents and faculty. ot every· body likes you ." -As first year coach of the UB j.v. team , Spera did not have to worry about any jealousy as the team was able to muster only two victories. Nevertheless. he enjoyed the experience. "Coaching and playing are opposites. and I can feel for the players and what they're going through because I was there." he says. ·•11 was hard the first game, going from seeing Division I players to j.v. ones. I even wanted to lace-up the )neakers and go out and bury the other team myself. But. by the second game, I was over that feeling and I just wanted to coach a~d·help the players improve." oo king at the overall athletic prog ram at UB, Spera sees both similarities and differences with Syracuse. "There are study tables, tutoring, and other things for players at both schools," he said. "But the support at OB just isn't there. We have excellent coaching, and the talent gap bet ween Division I and Ill is a lot closer than people think. A lot of Division Ill playe" could play Division I... he added. " People need to think bigger here and to support th e team. People want to sec a winner, but to get a winner you have to build a foundation and that '> wha)'s happening no"," he concluded. Spera also added he think > UB is headed in the right direction with regard to upgrading the athletic program. but that the students and L "At Syracuse, it's what you wear and what you drive that's important.'.' communit) have to show their support for the decision, too. In comparing the two universities, Spera drew sharp comparisons. "At SU. aesthetic:, are a lot more impor- tant . It's what you wear and drive that's imponant whereas here that · doesn \ matter as much." He also added that Syracuse is much more social than U B and thar athletics have much to do with that. "Students here need a common binding. At Syracuse that binding was basketball. Everyone went to the games; it was the thing to do. Here that just ~n\ happen." Despite UB'> shortcomings: pera said he prefe" it to Syracuse, not just because of the academics, but because of the people and the university itself. "The people here are a lot more open." he concluded. As for coaching next year. Spera had a short. enthusiastic answer , "111 be back ....

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

Physio logost leon Farbi thinks "'e have no right to ri>k lives in space if the subjects don 'I k!JoW what they're ~niversi~ of New York he SU Y Trustees at their recent meeting asked for more . information on a proposal that would give the powers of peace officers .to Pub.Lic Safety officers when they pursue tfi!f duties off campus. The officers may now act as peace officers .only while on campus or on roads bordering the campus. said J . Norman Hostetter, associate SUNY vice chancellor for educational services (whose duties include security). He emphasized that it would be up to each president to decide whether to T extend the geographiccl jurisdiction of the omctrs at that campus. The idea is aimed primarily at campuses in rural areas and small towns, . Hostetter explained. But Lee Griffin. director of Public Safety at UB, said he would like to see such a policy adopted here. Hostetter said the idea was brought to his attcnlion by several camP.US presidents and public safety officers. The rural campuses favor the idea beCause their local · police forces may not have the manpower or expertise to conduct investigations off campus of crimes that were committed on campus, he explained . The pohcy would also allow campus forces to help with things like crowd control at what are primarily campus events in town, Hostel1et said. Griffin favors the policy because UB officers routinel y have to conduct investigations orr campus, but have no authority. he said. In addition, UB officers often face situations where the public expects them to act. but again. the officers have no authority. Other law enforcement officers are empowered to act outside their jurisdictions when necessary. but no officer docs it routinely, Griffin said. Griffin, a State Trooper for 10 years. noted that he never exercised his authority in cities or towns that had their own forces. "But it was good to ltnow I could," he added. "There would be no abuses." s much a• 50 per cent of UB's crime is commined by persons from off campus. Griffin said. >:The campus does not operate in a vacu um," he noted. Public Safety routinely must work in the community.. "I think we should have authoruy commensurate with that responsibility, .. he said. Griffin gave the example of an offi'cer investigating the theft of a television from the University. The officer tracks down the suspect and goes to his house in Amherst. When the suspect answers the door, the officer sees the stolen TV in the living room. But he . can'l arrest the suspect.

The "local police officer might a>k th e UB patrol to stay 41nd direct traffic while he takes care of the injured. "We don~ really have the authority to direct traffic. but. we do because it"s the right thing to do." Griffin said. U B can ask the local potice for help. "but we can~ help them," he added.

The Trustees asked for more information on the subject, primarily on what the guidelines from the Chancellors Office would look like. Ho"eller said. The guidelines would have to fit all the campuses. not just the rural campuses. . This propos'~!, has nothing to do with the arming issue, he emphasized.

Chances are, according to Public Safety officials, that you11 leave all your stuff there. Unfortunately, chances also are that your wallet, or your notes, or books, or coat won't still be there when you get back. "You can' be lulled into a false sense of security, •• says Public Safety Investigator Dan Jay. "Don~ leave things unattended . " A recent rash ol thefts has led Public Safety officials to urge students to keep a close eye on their belon~ngs while using any of the University hbraries. On a recent trip through Lockwood Library, Investigator Frank Panek said, one Public Safety officer observed 48 una11cnded study si\eS and 22 people watching the insides of their eyelids instead of their belongings. "It's a pain to have to pick everything ufl""''t:fore you go look for a · book. or go through the card ftle, or whatever," Panek said. "But I don' · know how else to do it.'" Since the beginning of the semester. Public Safety has received 17 reJ>Or!S of thefts from the Univcrsi~y Ltbraries. Books, wallets. and bac.kpaclcs that have been left unattended also have been reported missing from classrooms and offices on both campuses. Missing books aren' likely to renect a fetish of some knowledge-hungry thief. Most wind up on the used book racks of local and University bookstores. "If books are stolen, we automatically notify the bookstore. " Panek said. "We have received good cooperation from the University bookstores and from Laco." "Where we have caught people, we have been able to prosecute," added Jay. He suggested that students make all their books identifiable by writing their name or Social Security number on a specific page inside each book to help identify it if. it is stolen and an anempt is made to resell it. "Something so they can say absolutely, 'that is my book."" P.anek said . "We"ve been catching quite a few (sus· pects) since we began the program in spring, 1985."" Investigator Kurt Herrmann initiated the program and acts as liaison with the bookstores. Panek also urged students to purchase a good l>icycle lock before warm .w eather breaks, and to have an identi· fication number engraved on the bike. "You are responsible for your own well-being because if you give someone an opportunity, they are going to take advantage of it," he said . 0 Booknapper nabbed on bus P ubtic: S•l<ty ha' charged a 34-year·old BufY•Io mao wnh cntDinal pouasion of "0.kD prapert.y in connection with I be theft of a wallel from the UndcrJrilduate libraJY Monday eYCnta&.

But the two men committed human right~ abuses under Marcos. and she wonders whether Aquino can control them or whether they will in fact be running the show. Popular concern over human rights abusC> may also help keep a lid on the !1-ituation. Leary said. In 1984. Leary was part of a mission from the International Commission of Jurists that issued a report on human right~ viola tions in the Philippines. Leary had expected Marcos to comment on the report. .. As far as I know. he neve r did give 8 specific response to this report.'" she said . .. He was beginning to get critici7ed extensively by human rights organizations." There were a number of reports in the last two years, all saying th.e same things. she noted. which had an effect on the actions of the US government and others. "The way tbc US acted this past week may cause further .su~from Filipinos) for ihe ;he said. "But many still identify the US with the s:· M areas regime. "It's never easy to undo history. The US is going to have to live with the fact that it suppo rted Marco< for 20 years." · S orne offenses by Marcos that were targeted in Leary's report may be changed by Aquino. she predicted. For instance, Marcos had given sugar and pineapple monopolies to his friends. Leary said she expects Aquino will do away with this "crony capitalism.·· Aquino may be able to emphasi1c more social development rather than luxury development in the economy. the law professor said. Instead of build· ing five-star hotels. s he could initiate projects for the people. But the economy in general would be a major problem for anyone who would take over. Leary >aid. The sugar market has collapsed. and prices arc low all over the world. Aquino has said that s he won) inter· fere with US bases in the Philippines until the lease runs out, Leary noted . The us. biiSCs arc a major concern of the Leary opposed US •upport of Mar· cos. but caut..ioned that th is country ~houldn't try to place an Americanpicked leader in power. The leader would not be recognized as legitimate. Also. the Filipinos should decide themselve~ who their leaders are, she asserted. " I believe very strongly that the US sho uld support whomever the Philip· pine people have chosen." she said. "A nd they see m to have chosen Aquino." C harito Planas, -who spoke at an anti-Marcos rally at UB last week , told the Reporter Tuesday that she is j'ubilant over Aquino's rise to power. "llut I'm saddened because the two partners in crime are now part of the government," she ~aid. referring to Enrile and Ramos. "It was the people', power that brought Cory Aqumo into power. Hopefull y. she won) forget that." Planas had run with the late Benigno Aquino. in the 1978 National Assembly elections and subsequently was imprisoned by Marcos.

The program. she adds. helps Zodiaque dancers become better actors. since acting skill is required throughout. The Broadway show Dr~culo is the theatrical inspiration for Lynne Kurdziei-Forrnato's "A Town Without Pity," a tongue-in-cheek portrait of the Dracula legend . On hand are characters from the original Bram Stoker novel, along with stock figures from trad itional Dracula lore. "A Town Without Pity" refers both to the havoc created by the vampires in an unnamed Tran· sylva nian town, and the bloody excesses employed by the townspeople in their quest for revenge.

"My individual guess is that it will be three to six. months before they decide to ny again . " Farhi said. "Then the whole schedule will have to be readjusted.·· He noted that some experiments that were scheduled before his. such as those on Halley·s Comet. will be. dropped. With this in mind. he hopes to have his experiment up within a year. In his expcrimcnt 1 Farh i uses a breathing device to measure the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the atmosphere. The rate at which these gases are exchanged gives an excellent idea of how well the heart is functioning. he said. When we breathe. we take in needed oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. In the project . the subject breathes in and out of a closed bag, Farhi said. Since the unit i!. a closed system. the amount of oxygen in the system decreases while the amount of carbon dioxide increases. . The amount of carbon dioxide in the bag is measured by an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Looking at the rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide , we can get an idea of how much carbon dioxide is being eliminate-d by the lungs to the bag. This in turn tells us how much blood goes th rough the lungs. "Since all the blood in the body goes thro ugh the lungs. what wc·rc really measuring is how much blood the heart h pumping," Farhi said . The heart pumps blood out to all parts of the body. But under norm~! conditions the blood faces an uphtll fig ht ~~gainst gravity to no" back to the heart.

C a~c According to information from the vice provost"s omce. graduate groups arc intended to foster inttrdisciplinary research. education, and / or public ser~ vice involving faculty and students. The Executive Committee of the . Gra~uate chool confers recognititm on the group~ (or one calendar year (July 1-June 30). either with or without Graduate School support. Graduate chool support b given for a maxi· mum of five years. Applications for rccognrtion should include a de:,.criptio n of the interdisciplinar) :1rca .on "hich the group v.ill focu~ : a clear. conci~e. scientific statement of objectives (both immediate and long-range): a de•cription of the schol· arty or creative activrues to be .underLakcn: a description of anticipated out~ comes: name s of participants nod criteria for their selection: identification of available rc;Qurces: and a budget reque>ting Graduate School support (where nece sary). A Graduate Groups Advisory Committee evaluates the ap~lications for potential; past success: ev1dence of past and continuing accompli hments in the area by faculty participants: evidence of graduate student interest; and nidence of sufficient resources. Recognition will be recommended for groups rated either excellent or satisf tory by this panel. The 1985·86 graduate groups are Biomembranes. Cell Motility. Cognitive Sc1ences. Genetics, Human Rights. Marxist Studies. Modern German Stud· ie~. ephrology, curoscience, Semiotics. and •Structural Control. 0 �"I f xou can believe there's no sk:tll iovolved, then you can't do anything. But if you believe teaching is a skill that can be learned, you can do something." said orman Solkoff. interim director of UB's Office of Teaching Effectiveness. ''I believe the latter." The purpose of the ne.w Office for Teaching Effectiveness is to set up a service for faculty members who feel they have a problem in teaching. said Solkoff, who is also a professor of psychology in the ·Department of Psychiatry. The concept of the office was endorsed by the Faculty Senate in May and the establishment of the office was announced by the president in the fall. But the unit still doesn't have any office space, Solkoff noted. " It's still a concept - a concept that can be turned into something meaningful," he said. Since it has no secretary of its own, the office's work is being done by secretaries in the offices of the vice provost for undergraduate education or the dean of undergraduate academic services. As interim director, Solkoff is not salaried or being given release time. "But this is important to me," he said. "A lot of people want this help and they have no place to go. That's unfair tO. them and to the student. • he slant of the office is on people and teaching rather than on curricuT lum, Solkoff said. Not everybody who enters a classroom is a.natural teacher, but one can do a credible job if be or she takes the time to develop the techniques. He gave an example of learning when to break during a long lecture. Rather than break at an arbitrary time, watch the facial expressions of the students to see when they need a break. "These lillie techniques go a long way to improve teaching effectiveness." he said. . Solkoff likes tQ use "microteaching," a technique where a teacher gives a sample Teachin teachers to teacli class presentation while being videotaped. The tape might show that the teacher has-annoying tics, avoids looking at the class, or uses language the class doesn't understand. "He doesn't know he's doing it until he looks at himself. • Solkoff •aid. Microteaching was used in the August workshops for new~ the panicipants found it most helpful, he reported. Another project of the office will be to set up a cadre of experienced teachers to serve as consultants. In the next couple of weeks, Solkoff said, he is planning to meet with recipients of Chancellor's Awards to ask them for suggestions on faculty development. As consultants, they might go over a course outline with a faculty member or sit in on a class. They might also give advice in their specialty. For instance, if a physics instructor needed help getting equations across to his class. the office could find a Chancellor's Award winner in a sit~ilar area to offer ~ome tips. oil want to involve as many prestigious faculty members as possible." Solkoff said. "That tells people it's a wonhy enterprise. ·• · Another group Solkoff will work with is the Faculty Senate's Teaching Quality Coml)littee, which he also chairs. Solkoff and the committee have already teamed up with James Anderson of the Educational Communications Center to put together a proposal for an October faculty conference called "Technology: Tool or Tyrant?" The workshop will focus on effective uses of media, such as videotaping. in education. n another project, Claude Welch, chairman of the Faculty Senate; IFrank Schimpfhauser, secretary of the senate. and Solkoff are working on a proposal to the Lilly Endowmenl for a grant to train tenured faculry. In each year of the three-year proposal. eight tenured faculty me_!!lbers, for a total By CONNIE OSWALD STO~KO of 24, would be involved. They could develop new counes... reviM: courses~ develop interdisciplinary courses. or examine nc\\ imarurnents lo evaluate courses. A proposal is also ready for the third faculty development workshop to be held for new faculty in AugusL UUP\ Quality of Life Commitlee and the President's Office have funded the workshop in the past, but it hasn' been decided how it will be funded this year. Solkoff said. Another proposal in the works is one to the Foundation for the Improvement of Post-secondary Education outlining a project to improve undergraduate education. Solkoff is also trying to build a ;maU library of reference materials on teaching for the office. He is visiting other univer..ities to see what kind of faculty development offices . they have .. Harvard, switchin~ from a lecture to a a seminar approuch, IS retrainin~ all of its teachers. Another interesting tw1st is that Harvard also teaches students how to. interact with professors - interaction isn' a one-way street. Solkoff noted. At Syracuse University. Solkoff found a heavily funded program that. he said was a bureaucratic nightmare. He has also visited Buffalo State College and will visit Stanford University. University of the Pacific. University of California at Davis, and perhaps others. Jn addition to gleaning information from other universities, Sqlkoff h.a~ his own experience to fall back on. " I've taught every conceivable kind o( class," he said. T.hrough the Office of Teaching Effectiveness, Solkoff said he h.o pes to develop "a pervasive feeling throughout tbe Umversity that teaching is important to us. It's as imponant as research -you can't negle~ one( for the other. "Some of the best teachers are researchers. They can relate their work to their students. To say, 'I did this' is enormously engaging to students." D �Februuy 27, 1111 Volume 17, No. 21 UBriefs BuiTalo. !\. Y..~l4221.

Instead. the five new positions will be filled b)' one electrical technician and four civilian dispatchers. ~ According to Lee E. Griffin. director of Public Safety. the hiring of civilians to fill the dispatcher's jobs is being done elsewhere and should be an improvement over the officers who now fill those slots. ·"II will be beuer because people hired for a (dispatch) job will be more enthusiastic than an officer who gets it by default." Griffin said. Other police departments. such as Cheektowaga's, must give officers incentives. such as sergeant's pay, to get them to take dispatch jobs. For this reason. many departments now hire civilians 10 tak.c the duties of dispatcher, he noted . The dispatch job itself is "gcuing more complex.·· according to Griffin. Each shift has one dispatcher responsible for three computer syStems and six comp la int phones. The dispatcher also is responsible for sending officers to any one of the 470 zones into which the <:ampus is divided , and for responding to Cach one of the ten contact are~s (consisting of phones. alarms. etc.) 111 each zone. . Griffin said that with the addition of the new dis patchers. four officers couiP be added to patrols on campus. P D onald Kreger. president of University Police Local 1792. Council 82. AFSCM E, agFCcs with Griffin that the dispatch job is complex, but differs with him on the hiring of civilians. "The dispatch job is the most stressful job on the force, .. said Kreger, "and would be bener filled by officers." According to Kreger. many officers not only like the dispatching job, but request it. He believes that officers would be bellcr suited to fill the jobs because '"an 9fficer knows what another officer expects from him in that position ... Kreger also said lhal the hiring of new, you ng officers would help the overall complexion of the force. .. As it stands now. the average age of Public Safety officers is over 40 and we could use so me younger people," he said. Even with the added patrolmen. don1 look for a marked increase in Public Safety visibility. Kreger said. "Officers will still have to dispatch; it's just a maHer of scheduling," he noted. "The one or two extra men on patrol won1 mak~ thai much of a diff- ereOce ... One thing that both men could agree on was the fact that they could use more than five new positions. "We've lost about 15 jobs in the last few years;· said Kreger. Added Griffin. "We could use more, but cuts have hurt everyone. Getting all the personnel . I want would be like asking to win the lonery. We just h~ve to do more with less.'' 0 \ SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ AND THE ~EN I NG by Primo Levi (Simon & Schuster. $19.95).

I walk fast." Judelsohn certainly moves quickly between his career as a pediatrician, his family commitm ents, and his role as a jazz host. His medical and musical interests fused duriAg a trip he took to Europe on a summer fellowship program his third year at US's School of Medrcine. He had the chance to hear abroad his favorite kind of music - modern jazz. "It was an exciting opportunity to ~:c~~~~~d~~~h~ ·~~~::~~ about 1966, andtheywerestill playing straight-ahead modern jazz there. At the time, jazz was changing drastically Into a period somelimes called 'new music' or 'free muSic' and a lot of the temlliar approache~ and structures that many of us liked so much in the 40s and 50s were abandoned. There was no real re·ason for me to continue an interest in jazz radio," something he had enjoyed as a college undergraduate. It was In the spring of 1976 that former FM 88 Program Director Marcia Alvar interviewed him about immunizations and childhood diseases. After, he toured the station and talked about his college radio experience. T'he 1963 Unioh College (Schenectady) graduate recalled, "One of the most Important student activities was the radio station. 1 became a )au disc jockey during my freshman year and as the tour years passed , I became involved in other aspects of the staUon, rising eventuaJiy to become statlon manager. It was a nice opportunity to share music with listeners." Alvar mentioned to Judelsohn that WBFO would start a )auspecialty se~ies In July, 1976, and asked him if he'd like to audition. The offer rek indled his Interest so he went home, did a lot of homework, practiced, and performed a live audition for Music Di rector John Hunt. Judelsohn said , " I got the Monday night slot playing music which 1 felt comfortable with and enjoyed. I' ve been doing it ever since," J udelsohn f irst tfecame Interested In jazz at Bennett High In Buffalo when he and his friends formed a band in which hB played saxophone. At the time record labels such as Blue Note, Contemporary , Prestige, and Pacific Jazz were pressing hot releasesArt Blakey's "Moanin'," Richard carpenter's 'Walkl n'," and Horace ple. Judetsohn's band featured theSe hits. "We couldn't play the songs nearly as well as the original artists," he said, " but sometimes we could get the melody out and we'd even take a rudimentary stab at a solo. 'olfcali the band experience and the exposure to jazz that caught my interest." Since he started at WBFO, Judelsohn has seen the station's cOllection 8xpand tram about 3,000 records to almost 10,000. His own collection includes about 400 albums, mostly originals from the modern jazz era, 1940-1965. Naturally. this entire collection has cuts from the greats as well as from not- a so-well-known anlsts. " Because of my responsibility as a broadcaster, I've come to spend a lot of time ta lking about major ligures," Judelsohn commented . "so 1 say that my favorite art1sts include Charlie Parker. Oiuy Gillespie, Miles Dav•s. Bud Powell, and The-lonius Monk. But also because of my broadcasting interests and the fact that I have to fill 52 hours a year, I've come to apprec•ate less well· known art1sts like p1an lst Sonny Clark. and sax players Uke Cliff Jor· dan and Lou Donaldson. 'rhere'sso much good music that I can't really say I have any part icular favorites." The Flral Twenty Years of Modern Jazz is more than a showcase of musi c. Judelsohn attempts to enlighten listeners by lea rning about musicians, the background of particular recording sessions, or events related to what he Plays.

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

Susan Hamlen, associate professor of management, said that ln the past, notes · for large-section classes were sold at the bookstore. Robert Cooper, associate professor of pharmacy, added that when he was an undergraduate student at Berkeley in the 1950s, independent businessmen sent notetakers into class. They copyrighted the notes and sold them. Heary said that one student suggo;sted that SA ask faculty members for their notes and sell them. There are no plans to do that, though, and Heary said he dido\ know of anyone selling notes on campus now. _ Walter Kunz, dean of Undergraduate Academic Services, questioned whether a faculty member, in order to copyright his own lect=. wouldn l have to determine how much of the lecture is orisiftal work.

University Professors (AAUP) if their attorneys have looked at the question. Dennis Malone, professor of electrical and computer engineeri.ng, said that lecture material can be copyrighted if it's videotaped, but not if it's just tape recorded .

However, the graduate fee increase is contingent upon the adop tion of a dollar· a-semester increase in the Undergraduate Student Association mandatory fee. Undergraduates will vote in a referendum March 12, 13. and 14. The two studen t governments cannot individually provide the funds needed to meet The Spectrum's deb". so both organizations must -approve the increase or neither will increase its fees. The p.lin, which calls for the reorganization of The Spet·lrum's financial operations. is expected to last three years. The situation will then be evaluated.

Jan Goodwm, the editor of the LAdies Home Journal. and Torially Khanjar, an Afghan paramedic / freedom fighter. offered a picture of Soviet beastiality so graphic that it left the mell of burning flesh in the theatre. The hides of such media cows as the New York Times and C were tanned as well. adding to the lingering stench. In an epilogue. David Scanlon of the Young Conservatives Foundation in Washing· ton. D.C., offered a prescription for an .air freshener: put press ure on the SUNY Trustees to divest their stock in compa· nies doing business in the USSR. Otherwise. he warned the 100-or·so in atten· dance. "we, too. havt blood on our .. hands!" Anyone who consider) the Soviet - ... Union a non·threatening state beset by a lackluster ideology and economic stagnation. Prof. Michaels submitted, is either "naive or pre-meditatedly self-servi ng." Those who whine about more for the poor and less for the U.S. military, he warned. had better realize that the Soviets and their East German and Cuban puppets are active throughout the ·world, "bent on destroying competing economic and socia1 systems." The USS R, Michaels charged, is del iberately creating starvation in Afghanistan by destroying food crOP.S: "They want to do there what their puppets did in Ethiopia." Napalm, poison gas, and booby-trapped toys are all part of the arsenal the Russians are using on the defenseless. Fifty thousand Afghan children have been ~natched from their homes and sent to eastern bloc nations for " indoctrination;" one-third of the population have beendispl~ced or killed. Where are the campus actlvtsts who are so concerned about injustices in the world?" Michaels demanded. "Afghanistan shows their hypocrisy; their silence is deafening." "You might well ask what the Ladies /lome Journal is doing in Afghanistan," began Edi tor Goodwin who, before taking over the helm of that women's literary ~nstitutio~, was an investigative reporter. a foretgn corres·· Torlally KhiHI}ar (fell) and Jan Goodwin (holding bulferlly bomb). pondent in Israel and Greece, and a BBC radio reporter. In the course of her career, she noted. she has covered wars in the Middle East, El Salvador, Cambodia and Afghanistan, having just vi ited 10 provinces in the latter during a three· month tour with freedom fighters there. This woman, clearly. isn~ edi)ing the same Journal mother used to read. The Soviets in Afghanistan, she accused, behave like the Nazis of World War ll . rounding up little children and shipping them off for lessons in .. correct thinking." Children are also targets of bombs. she assened, holding up a lethal " butterfly" mine which the Soviets have dumped over Afghanistan by the tens of thousands. " If you touch it, orstep on it," Goodwin said, "it takes off an arm or a leg." Other bombs come in the equally innocent shapes of dolls, green parrots, and balls. "Never have I seen so many child amputees,"she said. Children have been thrown out of flying helicopters and set afire in front of their parents, Goodwin reported. Five hundred people were burned alive in an irrigation canal in another incident. She was tliei'e'when a beautiful, fertile valley was laid waste by three days of constant, 24-hour-a-day bombing: " I know now what the IIIIIOlcar winter will look like," she mused. The American press is burying the story, Goodwin charged. It 's a difficult war to cover, she acknowltdJled- thc nation i the size of Texas with 1mpas able, mountainous ter· rain, broken here and there by valleys. And the Soviets have threatened to kill any foreign journalists they find inside. That threat was carried out to the letter on an American journalist from the ArizO liO Republic. But, said Goodwin, we dido~ read about that here. The U.S. media is more worked up about being barred from anti-apartheid rallies in South Africa than illS about genocide in Kabul. Take The New York Times. In a recent issue, Goodwin said, that media giant found only 6 lines about the Russian aggression in Afghanistan fit to print, while devpting four full columns to a feature on Afghans in the fast food business in New York. Much of the media coverage that has come through, she charged, has been romanticized. Dan Rather, for example, became "Gunga Dan" during his on-the-scene coverage. The Afghan people ask why the U.S. has forgotten them, she noted. K hanjar, who has come to America to help gai)l humanitarian suppon for his people, told of suffering and de~th among young and old. of starvation. and of shortages of medical supplies for the sick and the wounded among the resistance fighters, known as the Mujahadin. He described how one young soldier calmly removed the remaining fragments of his ll)aimed right band by stq,ping on the ravaged flesh and ripping the hanging remnants from his wrist. Those who flee the terror by crossing to Pakistan find only cholera, typhoid, malaria, dysentery. and> boredom, he said. There have even been bombings of the refugee camps. Comfortable Americans cry for the seven victims of the space shuttle, he observed. but "nobody here cries for or helps millions of children and freedom fighters in my country. "A nation 'is dying and the world is sleeping," he lamented . No, his people don 1t want American armed intervention, Khanjar said in answer to an audience question. "We can fight for ourselves with a little outside aid,'.' he replied. Vietnam showed that a small nation can startd down a super· power with a little hefp, Goodwin said. And, as Prof. Michaels chimed in, Af- ghanistan was the only nation 'o repel both Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great. One way to offer help, the Young Conservatives' Scanlon suggested, 3fter the principals had left fQr a radio broadcast. IS to pu! pressure on the nation's colleges and uniycrSities to rid themselves of their stocks in companies doing business in the USSR. U.S. companies doing business with the Russians fuel human·rights vio· tru.ions and underwrite the Soviet arms build-up. They bring in the consumer goods, so the KremHn can concentrate on arms ... We have to raise such a stink that they11 stop," he said. "Stopping that trade with tyrants," Scanlon proposed, "has to become the burning issue on college campuses today." Karl Marx prophesied that when the las capitalist was hung, he'd sell his hangman the r.ope, Scanlon recalled. "We need to take that rope and leash 0 the Russian bear." SUNY won't harm others to push UB, Stony_Bro.ok raduateeducation and research at UB and Stony Brook will not be developed at the expense of the other campuses. Chancellor Clifton Wharton said at a recent meeting of the SU Y-wide Faculty Senate. The 1985 report of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University proposed that the two cam· puses become flagships of research. No allocation of funds will be made at the expense of the other campuses, Wharton reassured the senators. The chancellor did not say where the reso urces would come from, noted Walter Kunz, a SUNY senator and dean of Undergraduate Aca· demic Services at UB. Wharton added that he expects research to be conducted at the other campuses as well, according to Kunz. Kunz also reported these events at the meeting: . • The Faculty Senate called upon Senato r Daniel P. Moynihan and Senator Alfonse D'Amato to help defeat legislation passed by the House of Representatives in December that would take away the tax-exempt status of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association and the College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA / CREF). According to the resolution, the legislation would seriously and adversely affect pension status and retirement sav· G ings plans by imposine unnecessary pension plan rules destgned for profitmaking organizations o~ TIAA / CREF, by reducing limits and flexibilities for tax-def'erred annuities and 403(b) supplemental retirement accounts. and by removing the .tax exempt status. • UB's amendment was accepted for a resolution on transfers. The SU Y senate endorsed the concept that students graduating from parallel programs in two-year schools should be able to follow a program that would allow them to ~rad­ uate from four·year units in an additional two years. The_~;esolution also promotes increased aniculation between tWO· and four·year institutions. • The senators passed a resolution recommending that the chancellor create a Council on Women's Studies to replace the Chancellors Advisory Committee on Women's Studies. The new group would be more active and able to initiate action to a greater degree. • The Faculty Senate .requested that the chancellor send copies of quarterly flexibility legislation reports to local campus groups. This measure tries to el\eure !hat campus groups are notified if there have been reallocations made within the new flexibility legislation. • The SUNY Trustees present dismissed the idea of naming a faculty member to the Board of Trustees. There is a student on the board. 0 �February 20, 1916 Volume 17, No. 19 oints Sample endorseS!, Capen's views on freecfom in the classroom (Editor's Note: Mylea Stalin, professor of Engll•h at t,JS, recently wrote to Sle•en Sampla asking the presldanl lo reaffirm fanner US Chancellor Samuel Capen's statement on the right of faculty to express !heir •lew., lrre-eec· ll•e of unpopularity or prejudlcea.

I am glad to have this opportunity to s hare mv views about academic freedom · with voli. but I offer them as a colleague· and fellow professerr~ot as a policy ~ta tcment. The proper fofum for a debate about academic policy is the Facully Senate. which is, I believe, presently working ~o n a. number of the issues you have raised. It is very important that such fundamenta l principles as academic freedom and responsibility be debated by the Faculty Senate. a!' we\\ as by other groups o n campus that can cont ribulc to our understanding of these issues, prior to any formal pronouncement of policy.

It i!'l importan,t , however, to continue beyo nd that portion of Capen's !'ltatcment quoted in the University's Student Rules and Regulations. and recall ;orne ad ditional points he made when addressing the question of acadCmic freedom in a speech to a Confere nce of Trustees of Colleges and Universities in April, 1935: " Acceptance by an institution of the principle of academic freedom implies that teachers in that institution are free to investigate any subject, no matter how much n may be hedged about by taboos;. that they are free to make lrnown the: results of their investigation,..... and their renection by word of moudl or in writing, before their classes or elsewhere: that ttiey arc frtt to diffe.r wlth their colleagues and to present the grounds of their differenCe in their · classes or elsewhere: that they are free as citiz.cns to take pan in any public controversy outside the institution; tbat. no repreSsive measures. di~ or indirect. will be applied to them no mat· ter how unpopular they may become through opposing powerful interests or jostling establ is hed prejudices. and no maner •how mistaken they may appear to be in the eyes of members and friends of.lhe institution; that their continuance in office will be in aH instances governed by. the prtvailin}, rules of tenure and that th.eir academic advancement will be dependent on their scientific c;ompctencc and will be in no wise affc:Cte<J by the popularity or . unpopularity of their opinions or utterances: that stud ents in the institution are free, in so f:ir as the requirements of the several cu'rrit:ula permit. to mquirc mto any subject that inter· ests them. to organize discussion ~roups o r study clubs for the consideration of any subject. and to invite to address them any speaker they may choose; that censorship of student publications shall be based on preci~Jy the same grounds and shall extend no further than that exercised by the United Stales Postal au th orities. ..

And aespite the fact that Social Sciences has more than 1.800 majors and i~ a significant contributor to pre~ profes!tional programs, general educa· tion. and electives for undergraduates across the University. it has been allowed to recoup only four of the 50 tenured faculty lines it has lot since 1977. and that was done in the last academic year. Social Sciences Dean Ross MacKinnon offered these ligures to the UB Council last week partially. he indicated, to correct any misconceptions regarding workload in his Faculty and also to underscore the problems of an adminis· tratorwho seeks to foster excellence in an area, yet doesn ~ have the resources to do the job the way he'd like. The cuts experienced by, _the Social Sciences have left some .. senous work· load problems" and "programmatic holes" in a number of units, the dean relayed . Communi~ation. for example, has 350 majors yet only seven fao:ulty, while in Linguistics. a s(llall but sohd department, each faculty member must manage two to three doctoral candidatts. At the present time, he continued, there is no faculty member to teach 20th centUI) American history or medieval history; no sociologist to teach the sociology or organizations - a staple in any respectable sociology department - and no formal theorist in Political Science, again a necessity in any "serious" political science unit, MacKinnon told the Reporler. Because he has had to contend with diminished resources and still strive for enhanced quality, MacKinnon said he has· adopted the strategy of "building on quality," meaning that he plans to further increase the strength of his units that are already nationally ranked: Psychology and Geography. while also attempting to "fill in the holes" of the others. The dean noted .with more than a trace of aggravation that sometimeS it appears the "cards ... are stacked" against him. Stony Brook. he noted , whose psychology department "doesn't come close" to the quality ofUB's, will be allowed to hire ten to 12 new faculty to build tfie unit. By contrast, U B·seems to get shortchanged, he lamented. To try to fill the programmatic holes. MacKinnon said he has established a "shared resources plan," in which facult y from one unit teach in another. Cur· rently. faculty from eight units in the Social Sciences are teaching and advising in Communi·c ation and two geographers arc teaching in EconQmics. 0 We'll have a union, but when and how big ....? he issue is not if U B should have a centralized student union. President Sample told U B Council members at a February 13 meeting, but "how big and where" it should be. Sample said he supports the id.e a of turning the current Student Activities Center (SAC) into a bona fide student union by building onto the current facility in phases, with the last phase of construction to be completed no later than the early 1990s. Phase one consists of what is now in place, a 40,000-square-foot center. Phase two, which he hopes to build "as quickly as possible.'' would, consist of an addi- T tional 40,000 square feet. Finally. phase three would bnng the entire facihty to approximately 120.000 square feet. Sample said he doesn't know of any other major public institution without a student union . Almost everybody he speaks to regarding the subject - including officials in Albany and SUNY Central - agree that a union is needed on the North Campus, he indicated. Though the President conceded -that there are .. pros and cons" to the idea of expanding the current SAC, he believes that a "reasonable consensus" has now been reached to do so. At this time, Sample said he can neither"subscribe to nor reject .. the repon received from the Univer5ity House Council regarding how big the proposed student union should be. He did note. however, that the repon called for construction of more than 40,000 square feet during phase two of the build-out. The report still needs to be: discussed with other University groups, he said. SA Pj<:Sid~nt Bob Heary told the Council that h e has no particular objection to the build-out occurring in phases, as long as construction doesn~ stop after phase tWO. "Let's just build the damn thing and put it all be~ind us," he asserted. 0 �Februry 20, 11111 Volume 17, No. 11 Flexible --.. Soong is working on structures-that will . change with lhe wind If By DAVID C. WEBB hat is the s hape of buildings to corrft? · Buildings ·may take on novel shapes that change with differing environmental conditions, according to Tsu-Teh Soong, Ph.D. W The civil ensinecring professor is in·ves~ tigating what IS called ..active" structures that may bend, stretch. or change their posture, like human. beings who bend mto a strong wind or tfex theinnuscles to perform a task . The stf uctures would be designed to with"stil,nd adverse conditions'with their flexible shape~. according to Soong. -In order to stud y these structures. Soong was awarded a o ne-year grant for $30,000 from the· Natign~l Science ..Founda tio n. The grant is one Oft he first a";:irds by NSF under the Expedited Av.ards for •ovel Research program begun in ovcmber. ··Active structures represent a new strain of s tructures which will be fundamentally different from traditional ones in all aspects: shape. volume, weighJ.;lnd utilization of material," Soong"""'""said. "Since a struciUre must withstand ever• changing environmental conditions and varying usage over its useful life, it should be adaptable and responsive to these changes. " The active structu re concept would be particularly important for high-rise buildings, nuclear power plants. deepwater offshore drilling 'rigs. rad io telescopes. and aerospace structures. A building might change its shape in a strong wind to prevent swaying that could damage the building or its content•. These active buildings might bend in response to shaking from earthquakes. Active bridges might bend under heavy loads. such as trucks or freight trains, preventing structural damage. For the past 10 years, Soo ng has been Someday buildings may bend and stretch. studying structures with active control, which are very different from -active structures ... He explai ned that active control can be added to an existing design to help the structure withstand environmenta l stress such as wind or earthq uakes. but active structures a recreated with controls built into their designs. esulting in completely different shapes that may cha n~e. depending on environmental condttions. F or example. Soong has tested a wing-like device that could be added to a high-rise building to prevent swaying caused by wind. This active control device turns by signals from sensors like a flap on an airplane wing. reducing the sway. However. an active sl{ucture would be able to change its shape with retractable flaps that emerge from the outside walls of the building. Other imQginative, changing shapes are possible. Soong has tested a tendon system that reinforces a building to prevent damage during earthquakes. Testmg of this active co ntrol was done on UB's earthquake simulator in the Earthquake Engineering and System• Dynamics Laboratory. In an active tructure. the tendon svstem might actually change the posture of the structure to keep its balance during an earthqua~e . The ne" 'l F grant was created to encourage investigators with highly original, timely. and innovative research ideas to· submit ,proposals. which can be funded without the usual ix- to ninemonth delal. . -This grant was awarded With incredtble speed · only two weeks from proposal ubmtSsion to award,Soong said . The civil engineering professor i! in olvcd in five other research grants at much higher fu nding levels. butt his one he likes the best. "A grant of this type allows one to explore and pursue highrisk research ideas," h~ said. -Also. the fact that one receives nn award on th~ basis says a lot about his or her research credibilny." The -t:rant proposal do not undergo ex ten he peer review in order to expedite the approvals and only two t}pe"rillen pa~es are required for the technical dcscnption. 0 Campaign planning tJjghlights UBF year P reparation for a major capital campaign orga nizatio n of a Sl million c3 t 1paign in honor of the School of Pharmacy's IOOth Anniversary. the drawing of plans for a $900,000 Amherst Camp us observatory, a~d acquisition of land for a UB "Greek Row" highlighted ano th er recordbreaking year for the UB Foundation. Inc. rUB F). its chairman Jeremy M. Jacobs said this week. Total income for 1985, Jacobs said. rcochcd $9.345,439 which excoeded the record stt the previous year by $1.026.979. or 12.3 per cent. Current fund income (income other than endowment or investment revenues) amounted to 57,554,768 of the total, up 15.7 percent from 1984. Endowment gifts totaled $681 , 774 and i nvcsiment revenues. $1.108,897. Most gifts were for restricted purposes, Jacobs said . Perhaps the most satisfying gain. he noted. was a record-setting number of 15.298 donors. 6.2 per cent above the 1984 fi~ure (which was also a record). Alumnt donors totaled 11 ,560; nonalumni, 3,099: corporations, 483; and foundations and organizations, 156. The on-going Telefund campaign accounted for 12,159ofthosedonorsand resulted in $681,150 in income. an average gift of$56.02. The Telefund yield was up $107.21 I or 18.7 per cent. Over 500 student callers were employed throughout the year on the project. Among other details of the year, Chairman Jacobs listed: • Capital Campaign Planning. A formal timetable for a'l:'~iversit,Y capital campaign was approveo~ong wtth a pre- lim inary Case Statement of Univer>ity priority needs as developed by Provost William Greiner. In addi tion. Ja~s 'liaid, a series of initial Leadership Gift solicita tions were carried out by President Sample. "Although these potential sources of leadership support are still open." he said . "the procc;s it•df was most gratifying... The University also completed plans to implement an Alumni Development Information ystem which the Foundation considers a top priority toward becoming -campaign-ready ... Finally in th1s area. procedures were implemented that will allow the Foundation's Board of Trustees to be expanded to accommodate the overall requirements of a campaign. Jacobs noted . • Inauguration of a corporate relations commiHee. Under the chairmanship of Robert E. Rich, Jr., this new support group will foc~s on the mutual goals of the Western ew York business community and the University in addition to its financial development role. • Property acql!lslllon lor a Greek Row. Acquisition of 3.83 acres of property along Sweet Home Road, its subsequent rezoning by the T.own of Amherst. and development of a complete site plan, Jacobs reported, will allow the University to pursue a potential six~ house , 240-student-capacity project on the site in 1986. • Establishment of a campaign lor Pharmacy's 100th Anniversary. A $1 million campaign to establish an · endowed chair and leetureship in honor of the School of Pharmacy's IOOth Anni- versary on September 20. 1986, was organtzed. Its leaders are Mr. Wilfred J.

Jacob said . • Planning lor a campus observatory . .Jn the wake of a gift in the form ola $75,000 telescope from Mr. Miro Catipovic. O\l.ncr o l Tonawanda· Limb & Brace. Inc .. Jacobs indicated . final plan · were drawn for a $900.000 observatory to be located on the Amherst Campus. The facility will be used in the educational programs of the University and will be open to all area educational institutions. scientific organizations, and the public. Potential support sources are currently under consideration. he noted. • SUNY/UBj: - UBF/RF Agreements. After two years of discussion and negotiations. Jacobs said, "a~treements were signed with the State Untversity of New York and The Research Foundation of State University of ew York that will greatly assist the University at Buffalo toward its stated goal of expanded research funding." The agreement define appropriate JTICChanisms and procedures for handling sponsored programs at U B and provide nexibility in the research process not currently available elsewhere iri the State University system, he said. • Incubator Facility. Based on a $700,000 grant from the State of ew . York and the Urban Development Corporation and as 1.3 milhon loan from the , e" York State cience and Teehnolo_gy Foundation, Jacobs reponed. inittal plans for this proposed 40.000 quarefoot facility were developed. The Saratoga Associates of BuiTalo and Economic Research Associates of Boston were employro 1 , , develop a marketing and implementation strategy. and conMruction is expected to begin ·in mid-1986. • • Center lor Tomorrow Expansion. Construction of 2.000 additional square feet of UBF office space was begun. This space will allow the Foundation to centralize its fund-raising sta'ff. streamline financial services. and provide additional space required foraddttional staff and for the requirements of the capital campaign. The architect is Cannon Design, Inc .. and the John W. Cowper Company was selected as the general contractor. Completion is expected by April I, 1986 . • A gaJt! of 560,000 In support of students. One of the most important roles the Foundation plays in support of the University, Jacobs satd, is in the area of direct student aid. During the year, 925 students received varying typos of ft.nancial s upport totaling $836,567. up S57,323 ot 7 per cent.. 0 �Fetwu.ry 20 1986 Vol- 17, No. 19 ton. 11 :30 p.m. Ge(lfral admiuion S3.00: studentS a. m.

Personality problems shouldn\ play a role ideally, but in fact, they do." While Schimpfhauser found certain disciplines, notably psychia1ry, to be quite stable, retainjog most of the students who chose i1 originally, he found that other fields both lost and gained stu· . dents. Certain discipli nes, however, were consistently on the losing end. In 38 ptr cent oft he changes, for example, the dis· cipline r<:jected was family medicine. While this field was a common early choice for students entering medical school, 76 per cent of these student.• rejected 1hat initial choice and selected ano1her specialty. The field auraeted only one student who hadn\ selected it as an mitial choice. By contrast. most of the students who ultimate ly chose internal mcd icine , s urgery. surgical specialties. and medtcal specialties had initially selected a different field. Internal medicine. for ex.ample, received 48 p~r cent of hs students by conversion from another specialty. Schimpfhauser and his associates maintain that for medical educators and those concerned with student career selection, understanding the process of change in. career choice may provide a basis for strategies to influence or support career decisions. If Lhtr<: is a desire to mcrease the proportion of students entering family medicine, for example, recruitmenl efforts would likely be most profitable if directed to the group of stu· dents initially expr~ing a pr<:fer<:nce for that field with carefully designed fol· lowup and retention efforts. 0 �.T HE Game The Bulls blow it The screaming, ·lhe ahoutlng, lhe name calling, and lhe shoving are orer.

Vol- 17, No. 11 ·Maternal behavior Primate research probes social aspects primarily responsible for maintaining contact and proximity . .Over time, how· ever, ff' reversal took place: the infant assumed greater responsibility for maintaining contact apd the mother more frequently rejected it. This finding w4s similar to that of animal behaviDralist Robert Hii\ilc- and his co-workers. who studied captive animals. " In both groups, changes in motherinfant relationshlpS over time were due primarily to Qecreases in the: mothers', rather than the infants•, propensities to seek contact anQfproximity," Berman notes. ,. \ ;, While similarities were great ... small but consistent differences" between colonies were found in the studies. The freeranging mothers had slightly less contact and f'l'?Ximity with their young, and their infants assumed slightly more responsibility for maintaining proximity in all age · groups but one. child has a profound and lasting effect on its initial and later social interactions. T·mothers' cue on social iqteractions he fact that offspring follow their probably is due to Lhe mother's close monitoring of her child during infancy. where she "actively and selectively Lhwarts auempts" by unwanted others tp com~ in contact with hef infant, and vice versa. In other words, only th ose who interact with the rJothcr during the child's early infancy 11et to inletact Wi th1r. But even after the infant has reached 30 weeks of age and is considerably more independent, Berman found its realm of interactions continued to copy its mOther's. · A man's closest ~the monkey. h is there, on Cayo Santiago, where U B anthropologist Carol M. Berman, Ph.D .. collects detailed observational data on free~rangi ng rhesus monkeys, with the goal of developing principles, hypotheses and methods relevant to the study of human behavior. Berman's trips to the island in 1974, 1975 and 1979 produced behavioral data on 39 primates and their infa nts in one social group. She is now engaged in a four-year follow-up investigation th at will render rare longit ud inal data on the effects of maternal age on _maternal behavior, infant survival and infant social development. The stud y is being funded by a Sl47,000 grant from the ational Institute of Mental Health and with funds from the University. The infant macaques Berman stud ied in the 1970's are now mothers themselves and 'their progenitors are older mothers, many of whom are still reproducing. This makes it possible for her to examine the extent to which a monkey's maternal style is adopted by her daughter and affects the way she rears her young, and whether a macaque's style of mothering changes as she gets oldel, The resu lts, explains Berma~ "will contribute to an understanding of whether age, per se. influences mothering or whether social circumstances surrounding older mothers are more important. .. :The study has particular relevance today, she adds, when a growing number of women are choosing not to have children until their 30's, and many grandmothers are rearing offspring of teenage mothers. Her preliminary data indicate that age itself does not directly innuence macaque behavior, bur rather that the circumstances these older mothers find themselves in - such as having other offspring to look after - make demands on them that cause behavioral variations. n Berman's fil5t study in 1980 on social development of infant rhesus monkeys. she compared the social interactions of free-ranging mothers and infants observed at Cayo with captive monkeys she observed at the Madin~ley colony in Cambridge, England. Madmgley had six pens of animalst each contain.ing one ad ult male, two to fo ur females and their offspring. Berman found that in both the captive and free-ranging groups, the motherinfant relationships were "remarkably similar ... both qualitatively and quantitatively." In both colonies, mothers and infants were in almost constant direct frontal contact, with the mother being I A fter examining a number of possi ble explanations fpr the differences, Berman theorizes that they relate to the kinship structures of both groups. The Cayo monkeys, she ex plains, "live in large, naturally formed , species-typical social groups composed of a large core of adult females, the1r immediate offs pring and a number of transient males." Males leave their natal homes after birth to join other groups, while the fema les remain with their natal groups until death and maintain close association with their . maternal kin and offspring. T he gro up of animals Berman studied on Cayo had three lineages that totaled between 53 and 77 monkeys during the course of her study, and included members spanning four generations. Five other social groups also exist on tbe island . By contrast, the captive Madingley ani mals, many of whom were born and reared to adulthood at the colony, did nol have a well-developed kinship structure. " I was left with the hypothesis that free-rangi ng mothers may have been more relaxed with their infants because they were able to raise them among their kin," she says, which probably accounts for their tendency to be more rejecting and encoura,l\ii'ilfbf independence. As infant macaques mature, Berman found, their social network mirrors that of their mothers~ed her to conclude that a- mother's early innue nce on her erman and her assistant were able to recogniu eacft monkey by a number an(! letter tattoo on its chest and '6y special ear markings made by colony staff which distinguished members of each lineage. Interestingly, the tattoos provided only initial assistance to researchers. In time, each monkey became an individual. identifiable by different facial characteristics and traits. E\'Cn Berman·s graduate st udents, who at fir t showed a great deal of sk~pticism about being able to recognize individual animals, were able to do so by the end of their summer o n Cayo. As the animal residents of Cayo becanl'C more familiar with Berman, she was able to observe their action~ unobtrusively from as c_lose H! five feet away. • While there are some limitations to usin-g Cayo as a research tool. Berman feels that its advantages far outweigh any negative features . For instance. because they are given food and have no natural predators on the island, the monkeys'lineages are more elaborate than those typically found in the wild, and may have some impact on their kin-related behavior. Cayo provides a natural sen_ing where detailed information can be collected more easily on a grealer number of ani mals, enabling researchers to better study the natural inclinations of animals wit h respect to kinship or other aspects of grou p structure. In tbis regard, Berman sees Cayo as a "bridge" between wild and captive 0 studies. 8 By JO'YCE BUCHNOWSKI • lush 39-acre island off the east coast of Puerto Rico houses a Primate research center wheie · behavioral scientists hav(.come for decades to stud y the interactions of Berman's data also indicate that lineage has a direct bearinj! on the number of aggressive and defensove social interactions the monkeys experience during infancy, and may serve as a mechanism -through which they acquire rank. Infa nts of high-ranking mothers, she found, tend to be threatened less fre'quently by other group members than infants of lower-ranking mothers, and are also less likely to be threatened by unrelated or unfamiliar group members. Moreover, by the Lime these infants reach 27 to 30 weeks of age, they are more likely to receive proteci'ion from their mothers or close female relatives (CFR 's) when a threatening situation occurs. "In this sense. infants of high-ra'nking · mathers are prgtected roo~~ successfull y and perhaps presented with beuer models to copy," Berman concludes. Her data analyses also show Lbat a mother's rank has a direct bearing on the number of CFR 's that serve as caretakers, she advises. Further, the greater social cohesiveness exhibited .,by highrankin~ lineages allows infants to spend -mort ttme riear their relat ives. Kln1hlp 1tructure alfecta the bonding between primate mother and lnt.Dl "This implies a number of things," she advises. "F1rst, infants appear to function as mell}bers of the ir own lineages virtually from the beginning. Second, the mother's early innuence on the infant's associations does indeed appear to have long-term effects on the structure of the infant's spcial network. Finally, the component relationships making up. the tnfant's network develop through a rrocess resembling d ifferenliation ou t o the mother's relationships.,. �February 20, 1886 Volurne·17, No. 19 The secrets of Uranus UB senior assists in receiving them _J ' -/~----B~~~D~A ~V~IO~C. W~EB~B~---- "It wasn't until Voyager got on tQp of Uranus that it. released all of its secrets." said Paul Steckt a senior in geology at UB. Hewasfonunate enough to he a wit.ness to the ~xci(ement at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pas- . adena, Calif. , as Voyager 2 broadcast pictures of Uranus and its moons to Eanh.

He was asked tb return to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory last rhonth to assist with receiving the data from the ·prohe as it sped by Uranu at 42,000 miles per hour. The !ummer·s work was to reprogram the computers ~ard Voyager to improve the transmission ~f photos frQJll 2 billjon milesl'"'•Y· As the data were transmitted , the student, intern assisted in lindinll needed data and providing it to th~ prmcip!ll investigators. hat was it tike tp rub elbows with W prominent scicrffiSts, including Carl Sagan of Cornell? "They did have solne <jisagreements on methods," Steck said. "It was fun to hear them discuss it." Cheers and cries of amazemen t greeted thelirst picture~ of tho moon Ariel, one of the moons'discovered by William Lassell in 1851. This moon has some mysterio~s pallerns that may have been caused by an unknown fluid that poured down a val- ley, into a canyOn and then into the noors of adjacent valleys. This lcind of detail was not revealed until tbe automated spacecraft photographed it. When this information came in, scientists tended to forget all formalities and scramble for a screen to view it, Steck said. · Because he I'(Orked with the imaging team when the pictures of the moon Miranda were being . broadcasl, Steck was able to bring home some copies of the photographs. " I was pulling pictures out of the oomputer and check.ing the exposure times," Steck said. .-Miranda, the innermost moon of Uranus discovered in ' 1948 by American astronomer Gerard P. Kniper; is ••a hybrid of the most bizarre geologic forms in the solar system," according to NASA. NASA scientists believe' that the features of this rrioon are even more bizarre than the valleys and nows of the planet Mars. the compression faults of the · · planet Mercury, and the grooved tefrain of Jupiter's satellite Ganymede. A large triangular,"chevron "that some scientists dubbed "Circus Maximus " .Jl; one of Miranda's features, something that scientists cannot explain. The close~ ups reveal an extensive network of faults and enormous canyons. A part of Miranda has a huge \Wirhng pallern that was called the "Racefraek" because of its resemblance to an auto racetrack. Other parts of the moon are marked with numerous craters like the ones on Earth's moon. V Paul Steck, UB senior, has his eyes on the stars. and planets. oyager 2 has revealed 10 new moons around Uranus, plus some smaller asteroids that orbit the planet. "11'ost track after 10, ··Steck said. "Some of the objects orbiting the planet are tO O small to be called moons. They are more like asteroids that got caught up in the orbit of Uran us. They .are not over 50 miles across and are cratered and irregular_in size.'' Some of the satellites seem to confirm a theory that they "shepherd" planetary rings. The shepherd satellites orbit the planet in the same orbit as the rings and keep a ring in place by gravitational force. The e·psilon, or outermost, ring on Uranus is believed to be kept'in a thin line by these shepherding objects. Launched in 1977, Voyager has surprised many scientists because· it was designed to explore only the planets up to Saturn, but it may even he able to broadcast pictures of Neptune, the pe><t planet after Uranus. "This is probably the best program that NASA has put together," Steck said. The success of Voyager in photographing so many planets is partly due to a unique alignment of the planets. Voyager . was able to be catapulted by the gravitational forces surrounding the planets as it passed fairly close to them. "This is a once m a lifetimeexperience,"Steck said. "The planets line up only once every 175 years. Without the alignmen t, it would take over 30 years to get to Uranus." · Steck wa_s so inspired by this experience that he would like more. "I would like to get back for Neptune," he said. The stay in California was marred by the explosion of the sp~ce shuule Challenger. in which seven crew members were killed . "When we heard the news. we all ran down to the third floor and watched the broadcast on a large projection screen." Steck said. "'No one said anything fo r a long time.

Schimpfhauser and his specializa~ i~~~~~ry~ed··~~j~~~g~".':~~i A associates compared the method by which students decide on a discipline to that by which a scientific hypothesis is generated and tested . "Initially a choice is made, similar to any hypothesis. The choice is then presumed to be tested by experience, the acquisition of new information. and the evaluation of any new data regarding the choice. If the choice is found to be wanting, it is rejected and a new hypothesis is then generated ." Factors that .contributc to this process can be.seen in some of the responses given by the students in Schimpniause'r's stud y. I n cha nging career choices stude nts also took into account the na ture of the patients encountered in the practice of ·a field. " I cha nged my mind from internal medicine to surgery at the end of my third yea r, just after finishing 12 week o f med icine," remembers one student. .. I found med icine frustrating because of the many chronic problems ~ou have to deal with. It al so seemed as of most of the patients were well advanced in years. The rounds _every day seemed endless at times.'" a ~!tc~r~u: ration in future years dealing with chronic illnesses and poor patient .compliance," agreed another student who switched into surgery from internal medicine. On the · other hand , patient condition was a positive factor for some students who ultimate!~ chose family medicane, pediatrics. and obstetrics/ gynecology. Some mentioned that one positive aspect of these fields is that their contact i usually with generally healthy peOJ>Ie . . IdealiSm and philosophical motives entered into the choice process of some students. Several entered cenain specialties in order to serve specific segments of the population . Love of children and a wish to h~lp them led to some careers in pediatrics, while the desire to upgrade the health of women led others to the fields of gynecology and obstetrics. The wish to help a particular group led to the choice of other careers as well. One black student, for example, responded. •• As a black member or society, I wanted 10 choose a division of medicine in which I could be of particular service. I found there were very few blat:k dermatologists; black ~atients prefer a black dermatologiSt. The dermatological problem in different populations often require ·different or modified treatment from another population, requiring special knowledge or skill."' More practical concerns played a pa rt in the choice of career as well. "How does one lead a family life when involved in family medicine?" asked one student realistically. Indeed, the desire for more stable work hours often led students away from such disciplines as fa. mily medicine and obstetrics and into hospital-based and surgical specialties.

" Said a radiology student, "RadiO'Iogy affords one a more •normal' lifestyle. I have other interests which I wish to pursue and I hould be able to do so as a • radiologist." One of the stronger factors influencing student career changes. however, was the nature of the contact that the tudents had with professionals within their chosen _field. Schimpfhauser found that faculty members provided positive influences if they presented interesting courses, acted in a way that studens perceived as professional and displayed concern for patients. Students also reacted both posatively and· negatively to professionals and institutions in various fields I hat they came into contact with. M any students who chose pediatrics. for example, cited the ~ositive influence that their experiences wnh Buffalo 's Children"s Hospital had on their career choices. Said one student, "I found pediatrics to stand alone in meeting my concept of medicine. The excellent pedi- · alric care that Buffalo offers no doubt influenced me greatly. It was finall)' possi ble for me to be a hurnanitanan., a scientist, and a patient advocate all at one ' time. If I had trained elsewhere.

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

Maybe, just maybe, the year marks , the start of a decline in high tech mania among the nation's college students, an end to rampant what's-in-itfor-me-ism, a return to humanistic and altruistic pursuits, .a move away from waffling on or ignoring political issues. Maybe. 1 Trends from the annual survey of college fr~shmen . conducted by the American Council on Education and UCLA cenainly point in those directions. According to responses gleaned from su<veys ftlled out by 192,453 students entering college last Jail (a little more than one per cent of tbe total freshman clas> of 1.66 million), interest in "engioeenng and computers, tl- " curricular wunderkinds of the past decade or so. is ~~.

Not quite, accordmg to Scott Danford, assistant vice president for University Services. He satd there will be just barely enough room: •Ifenrollment for the fall of 1993 is about the same as it was ii!Jhe fall of 1985, and ' •rfclasses are distributed pr~tty evenly between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. , and • If office space on the second floors of Talbert.

There's no !Ieason ·to 1anticipatt excep- . tiona! grOwth of the University, sornr<)llment will probably stay about th< same, he said. Even though big, new·buildings will be ·constructed, the situation'willlw ti:tht. he sajjj,. ~ore departments will be located on the Spine, but very little centrally . scheduled space will be added. Park Hall, the Social Sciences building which is scheduied to open ino~he fall , will add only two classrooms. One will seat about 40 and the other, 55. Most of the space in the Fine Ary_ Building, scheduled for complet Rf!l sometime around 1990, will be used by the departments housed there. The huge Natural Sciences and t>tathematics Building, to be completed in the early 1990s, will be twice the size of Baldy Hall , Danford said. Yet only lOper cent of the space, or 21 ,000 sq uare feet . wi ll be used for classrooms. That building will have five large classrooms holding 90 peo ple each: two small lecture halls holding 100 each: a !50capacity lectu re hall; a 250-capacity lecture hall. and a 385-capacity lecture hall. Constructing a larger at ural Sciences and Mathematics Build ing is not an option, he added. anford said he is hoping to convert offices in Talbert, Norton. D Capen back to classroom ·space. T.hese an~ are now occupied by the Educational Opportunity Program, Career Planning, Special Programs, st udent offices, and Undergraduate Academic Services (the old DUE). Classroom space. Completion of Amherst buildout won't assure plenty of room When the expansion of the SAC is · done, these student offices..,uld find a home there. Until then, there'w no place for them to go, he said. The Woldman Theatre also could be converted to classroom space and no longer be used as a theatre, Danford said. It's used for both now. . One faculty member complained that it's a shabby •heatre and a disgrace to use for pubUc events. lt's ·also a disaster as a lecture hall, Danford added , and only used as a last resort. Students have' to their laps because balance notebooks there are no tablet arms on the chaifs. The lighting is also too dim for classes. If Woldman Theatre is to be used as a lecture hall, those things need to be fixed : Edward W. Doty. vice president for finance and management, is looking into it, Danford said. ...,__The expansion of the SAC would provide a theatre that could be used for public events, ·he went on. Another p'ossibility suggested by the Quality of lnstrueuonal Space Task Force IS to design the theatre ln the Fine Arts Building with tablet arms and adequate lighting so it can double as a lecture hall, he said. qn he real space crunch will come next T fall on the Amherst Campus, Danford said. He11 know by the end ofthis month whether a plan to evenly distribute classes between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. will alleviate; the problem. The problem is that when Park Hall opens with its two small claSsrooms. there will be 180 more class sections on the Amhe rst Campus. Theoretically.there is enough Space on the campus to seat. all these sections, Danford said. The problem is that most instructors want to schedule classes in the middle of the day. If classes were spaced more evenly, there'd be enough room. To lower the peak demand time at the middle of the day, depa.rtments were asked to distribute classes more evenly between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Classes were broken down by size: less than 30 people. between 30 and 60 people. and more than 60 people, Danford explained. For every class of less than 30 that a department scheduled in a highdemand ume. it was expected to schedule a class that siZe in a low-demand time. This is not unbearable, he commented, noting that even the period from 9 to 10 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is now considered a~emand period. o put ~th into the p.rocedures, departments that did not atttmpt to evenly distribute clas es were seated dca_d last. even after departments that got thetr forms in late. The order of seating at Amherst was: • Course$ that carry five ·or six credithours. (These were seated first because they're difficult to seat, he said). • Standard three-hour courses at standard times. ·a Courses that can be blocked together and scheduled as if they're one course. For example, one course that meets from 2 to 4 :~ p.m. on Tuesday can be blocked with anotherthat meets at the same time on Thufsday . .~ ..,..on-standard courses and nonstandard times. • Departments that handed their forms in late. • Departments that didn \ distribute their courses. In each category, departments tha\ · have offices on the Amherst Campus were seated before those who have offices on Main St .. he said. Evef)'one was ~o seared of not getting the rooms they wanted thai only one department was late. Since it was a small depanment, its impact is insignificant, Danford said. Only one department dido) d istribute its schedule. That was English. n fairly large department. he said. " It's going to pose a big problem." Danford said. "It will impact not just on the faculty, but o n a large number of freshmen and sophomores because they11 have their classes !oeheduled in less desirable pla•: es."

"It was their decision not to distribute their courses." eating the department in less dcsira- T - ble spaces isn \"a punishmeni, it's a decision that the department made," he said. '' one of this was a secret or a surprise to anyone." The provost reviewed the procedures with the deans and scheduling coordinators, he said. " But if they want to make an effort to redistribute courses. we1tmake an effort to help them," Danford offered. "But it still won' be as good as ifthey bad done it on time." ' Since most· departments were very cooperative in distributing Amherst courses, it helped the situation, Danford said: He11 know by the end oft his month if the plan worked. , "If not, we11 have to back up and punt,'' he said. "There's no reason to be pessimistic." I 0 nMain St., space will i>e.tight, but it will be nothing compa.-e;( to the situation at Amherst, Danford said. This . procedure for seating classes does not apply to the Main St. Campus. • In Parker Hall. all the centrally scheduled clas rooms are off-line and oniy being used as an emergency back-up, be said.

'In related maners: • A computer database is being developed to assist. in the assignment of rooms, Danford said. ow. a cumber· some and awkward sy tern with index cards and a filing cabinet is used.

WEBB he Western ew York Economic Development Corporation has earmarked up to $5 miUion to support a proposed proJeCt to establish a national eanhquake research center here. The funding represenLS one year in matching funds for a $50 million project that is contingent on the approval of a grant of S25 million from the ational Science Foundation (NSF). The S5 million pledge represents a dollar-for-dollar matching grant for the S5 million a year from NSF. According to NSF, the project is for establishing the country's first federally funded earthquake engmeering research center to help minimize loss of life and property due to such natural disasters. William Donohue, director of the Western ew York Development Corporation, confirmed that the State agency is committed to supporting the research center here. The University is competing with several universities across the country for the project, and announcement of the award should be made this summer, bet~een T July I and October I. The local proposal is the joint effort of a consortium of institutions consisting of Cornell. Columbia, the University of Missouri. the Lamont-Doherty Geolojlical Observatory in Palasades ( . Y.). Cny College of New York. Lehigh University, and Princeton University in addition to UB. "The research unit would be centered in Buffalo, but researchers from all over the country would carry out projects;· said Robert L. Ketter, Ph.D., leading professor of engineering and applied sciences and director of the Earthquake Engineering and Systems Dynamics Research Center here. "The new center would deal with the problems of lifelines, including communications lines, power lines, and trans~ portation lines, and the problems of the structural behavior of buildings," Ketter noted . " We've already brought in a number of people to work on earthquake research," he said. The University has aS 1.5 million earthquake simulatpr. The simulator is used to imitate the actions of earthquakes for research by members of the earthquake engineering research · center. an inte~nally-funded research facility, and it is available to other researchers both academic and industrial. · T he NSF-funded center also would deal with research into other types of destruction. including firestorms, torna does, hurricanes. and explosions. "State & NSF would co-fund major earthquake facility if we are successful II The economic bc!nefits to the area would be very great, Ketter said . "Most companies would be looking for S I million a year for expansion. but here we are seeking $10 million a year," he said. As with other national research centers in other parts <>f the country, the earthquake center could result in the creation of "spin-off" enterprises, including creation of new businesses and expansion of existing ones. An example would be businesses that would make earthquakeresistant products. These businesses would be able to test products on U B's shaking table and have researchers and technicians available to them from the University. Support for establishing the center at UB has come from a number of researchers, including those at Clemson University (S.C.), Rice University. Re~­ selaer Polytechnic Institute, and the Uruversity of Alaska. · According to Ketter, earthquakes in the eastern part of the United States are different from earthquakes in the West. They are not as common in the East, but they can be destructive over a wider area. Examples are the 1886 Charleston, S.C., earthquake and the 1811 New Madrid earthqua • w~ich caused very extenstve damage over wide areas in the East. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1971 San Fernando earthquake caused damage in much smaller areas.

The federal government expects U8 tr, lo,an about $2 million. from collec.tioos. onner ~ he wasn't familiar with a fede ral proposal to create a new, college-run program of unsubsidized loans with repayments contingent on a student's future income. · The plan calls for undergraduates to be able •to borrow between $2,500 and S4,500. Graduate students would be allowed up to S 10,000 year. No one would have to pay back niore than.l5 per cent of his or her annual inconle in later years, but each individual eventually. would have to retire his or her whole debt, no matter how long that tllces. In his opinion, Coriner said, the p[an seems very loose.·While it might be possible to speculate on a graduate student's future im:ome, that would. be difficult to do with a freshman. He questioned what would happen .if the student dropped out of schoot'or did not graduate. Conner encouraged students to watch the newspapers for developments on !be financial ai<L issue and tQ write to their congressmen voicing their support for financial ·aid. 0 C a oother program targeted for cuts is the College Work-Study Program. Conner hopes Congress will override !bose cuts. "Tb.e congressmen have always favored the Work-Study Program," he said. "I foresee a fight to maintain it." Conner pointed out that many congmsmen held a work-study job while they were undergraduate or graduate students. They lmow it's not a giveaway program and that it affords students work' experience.. At U 8 , about 1,300 students out of the 25,000 total have work-~tudy jobs. That A IRS to join State in denying refunds to loan defaulters he federal government, following New York State's lead, will withhold tax refunds from peo-ple who have defaulted on their student loans, said Cheryl Kishbaugh, coordinator of Guaranteed Student Loans at U8. Though not publiGized much, New . York State's program has been going on for a year, she said. In this day and age wtien more and more financial aid is being taken away, Ki~bbaugh said she is glad for the crackdown. Legislators often point to the high default rate in the loan programs as a reason to cut them. If payment is enforced, the~e ·~iJI ;ontinue to be a future for finaoctalrud, she predicted. In the New York State program, when a person hasn' made payments on his or her Guaranteed Student Loan or contacted the bank that loaned the money in T a year, the bank contacts the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation. That corporation monitors the pro-gram in this State, she explained, The loans are guaranteed by the federal government. The corporation tries to make sure the bank has done everytbing.it can to let the borrower know he or she-is in danger of default. Then the corporation buys the loan from the bank. Obtaining payment from the borrower becomes a matter between the corpo ra~ lion and the borrower, Kishbaugh said. The University is involved only because it ftlls out a form that says the student is no longer in school. (Payment on the loans does not stan until after the student has left school.) The corporation ·then releases to the State the names of people considered to l!e in default. Until the loan .is paid, the State will keep withholding a person's tax refund each year, she said. However, if some sort of ~tisfactory arrangements for payment are made, the tax ·refund will not be withheld, she noted . New York State is one of the few states . that withholds tax refund s. he State started its program because T until the federal government comes through with its guaranteed payment on a defaulted loan, the State, in the forrn of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, bears the brunt., Kishbaugh said. It also looks bad for a stale to have a high default rate. In the federal program, !be Education Department bas referred the names of 657,894 student loan defaulters from across !be country to the I.R.S., according to an article in Tht Chronicle of Higher £ducat ion. Letters were sent to 790,000 defaulters in August, warning them that if they failed to begin repayments in 60 days the I.R.S. would withhold any federal tax refunds they are due t!lis year. About 20,900 responded, sending a total of S7.8 million . Those who failed to respond owe a total of S1.3 biltion on National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) and Guaranteed Student Loans. The Education Depanment expects the I.R .S. tb withhold SIOO million this year. About60 percent of the defaulters whose names were turned over to the I.R.S. received tax refunds in 1984. Collecting money owed on !be NDSL will hclp.U8 <lireclly, Kishbaugh noted. As former U8'studeots repay their loans the money is loaned to other U 8 students: The more that is collected, the more U8 can lend. 0 . �,._,11,1, . . . . 17, No. 11 FES dean questions reported failure rate By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he25 percent failure rateofUB graduates reported on the Buf'falo Public Schools' teacher's examination 64is quite simply . Oatly contradicted" by the' University's more compte\e measures on recent teacher education minors, said Hugh G. Petrie, dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies. On a similar, even slightly more difficult test, 95 per cent of recent ,U B gradu.. ates passed . "That's much higher than the 75 per cent who passed the Buffalo test," he noted. "The numbers.iust don' matc)l." Buffalo uses the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPsn. a literacy aptitude, not achievement. test. Last year, UB graduates were required for the fi..St time to take the National . Teacher Exam (NTE), published by the • Educational Testing Service which-also produces the PPST. . · · The communications skills and mathem;llics sections of the NTE repeat the lcinds. of mat~als contained in the PPST, he said.1 11u ~ince this is a test for those finishing, rather than beginning, • teacher education, the material in the NTE is presumably at a higher level than that in the PPST. ...The major anomaly in this whole issue is that the first batch of U B graduates to take the NTE passed at the 95 per cent rate, rather than the ~r cent rate of passing the PPST on the Buffalo exam," Petrie wrote in a memo to the president and provost. T The figures are "quite at odds with the Buffalo test results, especially in light of the fact that the NTE i•, if anything. slightly more advanced than the PPST, but covers the same ground," Petrie oaid. He also pointed out that a 20 to 25 per cent failure rate on the PPS'r is right at the nation~verage. The PPST i!l only part of the Buffalo exam. Buffalo also requires an interview and a subject matter test, and an applicant may bave failed any one of the three parts, Petrie said. A nother problem, he said, is that he has little information on those claiming to be UB graduates who took the' Buffalo lest. These people may never have gone through UB's teacher training miDDr , program (an education undergraduate degree hasn' been offered here since 1975}. . A person can get State teaching certifiqotion by graduating from an approved program, suZb as UB's minor program, Petrie explained. Or a student can be certified through a transcript evaluation that shows the student bas taken the minimally required courses, not necessarily 0 at a single institution. "Currently, about 50 percent of ceniflcalions arc via the t.ra.nscript evaluation route," he wrote. "Thus, 50 per cent (or more) of .the 'UB grads' who took the Buffalo test may never have been in our · teacher education m.i nor program. and thus not subject to any UB teacher quality control at all.

In addition. the number of UB graduates who took the test far exceeds the number who have gooe through the teacher program in the last five years, Petrie noted. There were 376 UB graduates reported to have taken the test, but only l06 UB graduates have been recommended for certification through UB's · teacher education minor since 1979-80.

Sociology texts mirror this allitude by ·gazing at the world through the lens of 'science," presenting reality as a " photogra phic image of what now exists." forgetting to pro be for future possi bilities. the associate professor of sociology affi rms. Take. for instance, the age-OIQ argument about the inevitability of ineq uality in a society. Because there is no \.. ~mpiricaJ evidence tQ show that a society has yet existed withov.t inequaJity, are · sociologists justified in assuming that one never could. or in creati ng a P.icture of rea lity that excludes that posstbility? Agger has given considerable thought to such issues and. in fact, is so concerned about the way his d iscipli ne is evolving th ~ has examined more than 20 introductory sociology te< tbooks in an effort to expose what he calls "false assumptions .. in the field that dislort the views of o;_;tudcnts and academicians alike. peaking from the perspective of a man who has taught introductory ;ociology off and on lor almost ten years. Agger believes that the texts arc .. fundamentally continuous" with rcM:arch published in the ficld"sjournals, research , he contends. that concentrates on objectively describing the world but fails to take the description "one step further by asking what could be." Because the texts subscribe to the false assumption that sociology is a sciencein the way. for example, that physics is considered a science - they contain .. no moral or philosophical pronouncements ... preferring to leave such valueladen mailers to philosophers or theologians. Agger, for one. heartily disagrees with this stance and argues that by trying to transform the discipline into a science that validates.oonly what can be proved. sociologists lose sight of their role in helping people to better understand the worl<j in which they live. " You can' understand the present without understanding the possible conneclions. evolutions or revolut io ns between the present and the future," he maintains . .. How can students understand what to hope for if they think no other possibilities exist?" Treating sociology as a science reinforces fatalism. he contin ues. tions and to think eritic:ally iDStead of jUSI adaptiD& is especially important now. says Ag:r, durill~ the pnsent conservative trail! in American history where the achicvmoent of yuppie status is the driving force in maoy youog lives. He also conteods that people woufdn' feel so powerlesa or turned-off to politics-in the broad sc:nse of the word-if they thoughtehange was possible ortbat other possibilities exist. Agger, co-author of S«illl Problmu Through Conflict llnd O.dn- and author of Wrmm MarxUm: An /mroduction. feels tl\lv in this regard.

Yes. submits a UB sociologist. As sociologists uy to infuse their discipline with the objective rigor of the natu~ ral scie nces, ·a nd as they follow the na tio n's more conservative swing away from matters of social concern and criticism, they increasi~y portray the .,..arid and its inhabitants m static terms. They ignore the fact that while the universe may be g<>verned l>Ynatural laws. no such forces control the i maginations ~or wills of men and women. Prof. Ben Agger pro- S A C:other false assumption guiding American sociologists is based on the A~ian theory of "truth in balance." Wliit follows from this is the problematic notion that .. reasonable or rcaJistic people are not extreme or extremist, but are more relativistic and understand that all philosophical religious and political teachings are partly true and partly false." This middle-of-the-road stance concerns Agger because he believes it reinforces temperance while disqualifying what might be considered radical thought. Believing that· truth is somewhere on middle ground is safe, he points out, because "you .don' offend." But the downside of this stance is rhat. inadvertently or not. sociologists " perpetuate what exists_ "Students walk out of introductory sociology thinking that you hope for too much; you try to n:form some smalltrungs piece by piece, but you can' ask the deeper questions: Is tbis really ~.~!'we should be doing'! Is this all there can' Urging students to ask the hard ques- till another questipnable ~rea in the.• discipline is' its pnsentation or a "subtext"whicli advoCates a middle class concept of the' family with the man as its head. From Agger's perspeetive, t.he tei'l& • ".preach an old-fashioned ""'rality aboUt the J ntegrity of the traditional partriarchal family." But the problem is that many peopled on' trt U> this mold, choosing, for one reason or a.nolher. an alternate lifestyle. he it single parenthood or . homosexuality. · Writing new texts is not the way to correet lhue false assumptiolls, he assertS. Instead. sociologists mllit begin to "re-think-all kinds aod forms of our intellectual dally lives." If sociology must be treated as a ·scien~ tben Aucr wants it to·be a more: in terdisciplinary-oriented and critical science, not only ca pable of showing reality as it now is. but "figuring out how we might move from what is today t o what might he tomorrow.

Also; in this conscrvatiW: era, Agger notes that it is easier for the universities and pani<:ularly the social sciences to "abdicate their responsibility to ask the hard philosoprucal and political questions" because it's believed "the timt isn' righL" . Though he sees this as a "deadly crippling issue." which puts a shroud of ntegitimacy over social criticism, Agzcr sees no other choice but to forge ahead and , take the ris". ..To takC a deviant critical position now involves risk. but it we don't. we contribute to the passivity and false consciousness of our students, .. he contends. 0 S Bunn invites faculty· to join new college By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO nvitations are going out to all faculty members to become senior members of the developing undergraduate college, according to James Bunn, vice provost for undergraduate education. The plan is to have 30 or 40 senior members chosen during the spring semester. Their Lask is to design , plan and teach the new curriculum of the undergraduate college, Bunn said. About 30 will be chosen from the ArtS and Sciences and 10 will come from the rest of the University. "Normally we're lool<ing at ten ured professors," Buon said. "But assistant pr!'fessors arc invited to apply if they feel I they have a special committmc:nt to or talent for undergraduate education." Tenured faculty are sought because they have the experience to make them .. senior members, .. he noted . Also, he wants to separate the appoimmcnts from the complications of the tenure process. Those who would like to be senior members must have demon strated their talents in undergraduate education in the past and have an interest in the future, he said . They should al o be active in research, not just teaching. Bunn said he hopes to ha..., the group of senior members assembled by the first week in April so it can start planning over the summer. Senior members are asked to sign up for a three-year term. After the group of about 40 is selected this year. 10 to 15 members will be selected next year and a similar number the year after, he . explained . That means that after three yoars. the college will have a steady group of about 60 senior members with staggered terms. T his semester, the senior members will he chosen by the executive council of the college, whlth is/also the Administrative Council of the Arts and Sciences (ACAS). It is composed of Bunn, the three deans of the Arts and Sciences, and the vice provost for grad uate education. Suca:eding groups will be selected by the senior members themsel...,.. In another development, Bunn said it is hoped tbat three endowed professorshi~ will be in' place by April I. The positions would be. funded by a presidential endowment.. . The three people chosen for these positions would be selected from the group of . senior members, he said. Their task will be to lead the design of the common experience courses (for example, a history of idea.< sequence). • The University is also trying to provide some sort of scholarly . incentives for other senior members, Bunn said . These might he things such as travel expenses to scholarly conferences. 0 �February 13, 11118 Volume 17, No. 19 _...

She 'brought three lemons to the "Anyone Can Juggle" workshop be<:ause she could not find any tenni~. Tom and Sharon Sheeliiii'iWere there because they had always wanted to learn to juggle, and a studcnt-mallicoan wanted to pick up a few more tricks for hiS act. " Most of the people come here because it is something they always wanted to learn how to do," according to Sam Wildofsky 1 the Life Workshop instructor. "I have wanted to learn since I was a kid." Tom Sheehan said . "I just never got around to it." Sharon Sheehan had never juggled either, but they were going to sew up sorne bean bags and practice at home. Chuck Corby, a freshman English major, had a different reason to learn. "I learned to use it in my act, • he said. ~ Corby is a magician who ca ers to children and charities, performing at area ospitals and doing panics. · "It's a good part of the act. When I do a trick with balls I like to show them that the balls are real," Corby said. "Juggling the balls seems to convince them." Wildofsky has tau$ht the workshop before and said that most partietpanu just want to learn the basic three-ball or bag "cascade." But the people at this workshop were more worried about collecting the balls or bean bag sacks after they missed a catch. · "Bags are much easier because they don' roll away or break anything when you mess up," be j said. "I saw a juggler on television aod wanted to learn, so I taught myself," Wildofsky said. A member of the UB Juggling Oub, he has juggled eggs, bowling balls, tennis rackeu, and even machetes. The UB Juggling Club is funded by the Student AssociatiOn and provides free entertainment for clubs and organi1 ations that request it. They also do six to 12 workshops a year in the dormitories. . Wildofsky can also juggle clubs, which are similar to bowling pim in shape but much lighter and specifically dcs1gned for juggling. He bas tennis balls. bean bags, juggling balls (wh1ch glow in the dark), and clubs for those who are interested. "Clubs are more versatile than balls or bags," he said. Bags arc easier to catch, though, because they conJorm to your hand, Wildofsky noted. AU jugglers, first-rimers and expert, arc encoutaged to attend the workshop. Wildofsky is prepared to teach beginners or help out the JUgglers who just want to learn a few trickr, such as juggling behind the back or between tbe legs. He taught. Corby 'how to •pass" balls wilb a partner. Wildofsky, wbo will conduct juggling workshops on Feb. 19 and 26 in Alumni Arena, helped the participants through the hardest part. "The toughest part for beginners is getting down the coordination and concentration." he said.

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

D.D.S., M.P.H .. dean of U B's School of Healtli Related Professions. has an nounced that he intends to resign some time this summer from the administrative position he has held for more than six years. .. 1 saw <.tn opportunity fo bring my experience to the School." Sultz said, explaining why he took on the duties of dean in 1979. " I had been working in the UB Schodl of Medicine for 16. 17 years. primarily in the planning and evaluation of health care systems. I was impressed with the increasing role of the allied health disciplines in health care. As dean. I felt I could ~road'Cn the in'v olvement by HRP faculty and students in US's Health Sciences Ce nter. and improve the status of tt\e School by increasing its graduate research acti vity ." . He believe:- he ha s accomptisl~d some of his goals. But he also believes that after several years a dean begins to lose his ' effectiveness. Dean Sul!z.said I¥ has had t~ say no to too many peonJe'R>o many times. ·He is resigning. he said. because·· ... a fresh ncw"dean who can excite the faculty and build on the Qudget stability that now exists will move the School farther ahead than I could if I carried on." Dean Sultzsaid that H R Pis one of the most difficult schools to g,overn because it comprises diver.Se departments with their own disCiplines and "a faculty that Jacks the overriding sense of a common mission. · "After seven years. there are sti ll faculty here that cling to the idea that the dean is an administrative convenience to a set .of autOnomous departments."" P rovost Wiiliam Greini'r said-that the HRP facu lt y, along with others not Yet appointed to a committee. will draft a miss ion s tatement for the School before he selects a search committee for a new dean . Greiner said now is an exce llent opportunity for H RP to examine its past, present. and -future. Recalling that HRP celebrated its 20th anniversary this past fall, he comm~nted that HR P is a relafively yo ung school at UB and that allied health is only now maturing as a field. Surprised at Sultz's intentiOn to resign. ' the Provost c redited the dean with a great sense of humor, which Greiner said an administrator needs. and with setting a high set of standards for the School. Dean Sultz was graduated in 1947 from the UB School of Dentistry. He practU:ed , dentistry befor~ co mpleting requirement.s in 1962 for his master·s degree in public health at Colum bia University. That same year. the Buffalo native ·became a professor here. . A respected epidemiologj~. Sultz has received over $4.5 milliOn in research grants.

The council\ plan request s 34,000 ~quare feet total. but th e $5 million earmarked for the cxpam.ion would cover ' o n!) 25.000 ~quare feet. There\ no guar antee the add1tional 9.000 square feet will be funded . The council recommended that 20.000 ~ quare feet. rather than II ,OOOsquarc feet a~ had been origmall y planned. be u:,ed for a student organitat10 nal activities complex. with1n the extensiOn. Membl.'r ~ fcarl.'d that the original expansion proposal \\ ould be ··relatively inadequate .·· Rill Kachio fr. council chair. ~ <.tid that tht:rc I' "n u way we could fit all the sen ll'e" \\ C nl.'t:d 111 11.000 feet." The cnum.:d \ plan will be revieWed by Jame ~ Gruber. director of student union s. and ~uhmmcd to Dean of Stu· dent Affair~ Anthony Loremetti. Gruber !<laid he had "no idea''how the plan would he recei ved or when the administration would ;:1et on the reco mmendation. The expansion is part of President Ste ven S:.~mple'~ minimal build-out T progr~m . l:,Pe proposal includes a multi-purpose room. a conference theatre. the activities complex and three or more reservation room s. "We arc going to ·go for it' and see what develops." Gruber said . The council expects to get planning approval this year and hopes the project will be complete by 1989. The studen t complex is expected to hou~c the studen t governments and many oth er .student organi1ations- including Suh Board I, Inc., University UniOn Activities Board. publications, and other club~ and services. The council believes that this repre~ents the best current option for the development of a "centralited" ~tudent union . A change in the bus loop, making SAC a drop-off and picli-up location for buses to and from the Ellicott Complex. would shift the majority of students to the area and create a new meeting place. members believe. ..To complement the plan it would be necessary to make a change in the loop." Kachioff admitted . "Students can't be running around all over the Univers ity to get dinner and sec a movie." Locating the student clubs and organi7Ations in the same building ··constitutes the identity, unity , and core of studentbased activities and programs:· Gruber stated . The planned multi-purpose room at 5.~00 square feet is s lightly largerthan the old Fillmore Room in Squire Hall. Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus served as the student union until 1982. Partitions will enable the room to be used in sections and provide for flexible usage . "The atmosphere of the room should be warm, not like a gymnasium," according to Gruber. "It should have high ceilings, functiof!al facilities. and be versatile for large and small meetings. •· The existing multi-purpose room could be turned overto FSA and easily~ converted into a food service facility with a Rathskeller and serve as an overflow eating and dining area, the proposal states. A fully functional conference theatre, which could seat 400 people and accommodate movies. plays. concerts, and lectures. was also included in the recommendation. "The location of this facility in SAC is integral to both the availability and the delivery of programs centralized in the center. .. G ruber said . Members pointed out that this would not be a duplication of Wold man Theatre because Woldman·s acoustics are .. terrible"and because Woldmancpuld be utilized better as classroom space. The conference rooms are planned. members said , because most of the student organizations will be located there and the need for conference space. will increase. Cl.J,w:tent Association President Bob J fleary pushed for the additional 9.000 square feet in the student organizational activities complex and is still worried about "moving just some of the clubs. "If they arc calling this a minimal build-out. ·1 think 20,000 square feet is necessary; it is the minimum·." Hc<'lry said. " It doesn' even include all the clubs in Harriman Hall, and the clubs over there belong here." '"Once we move we have to put all our chips in one basket, " Kac)lioff agreed. fleary also suggested that the existing lobby in the s.eco nd Ooor of SAC be studied to determine if alternate uses are available and called for a "receiving lobby" near the bus loop if that is a feasible option. Kachioff said that the council position is to "take what we can get and push for more." He said that there was a feeling among the council members that if they didn't act quickly and utilize the S5 million the money would trickle down to another :Jtc:a. "We can safely assume that (students) will be giving up Talbert," Kacbioff said. "This plan will consolidate and unify s~udents. " . The proposed Parcel B mall. which may be located between the University Bookstore and Clemens Hall, may have future implications regarding the proposal for SAC expansion. Early plans for the mall have suggested cinemas, stores. and public restaurants be constTucted. I" o ther council action. WRUB, the student operated radio station. was allocated space in SAC to operate. because expenstve phone lines forced the station to discontinue operations in Harriman Hall. The move is temporary and a relocation to the Ellicott Comple,x is being studied. 0 William Borodacz, Polish Collection curator, killed on Thruway r.

Dando has already traveled all over New York State and is plannmg to add Cleveland and Detroit to hb li~t. Dando added I hal he does nol believe there will be more pressure to win now than there was before. "When one takes a coaching job anywhere. there are. always pressures. Nol only from the school. bul also from oneself. I want to be a winner. and I wam as much as a nyone else to have a successful program here." He also cited next season's schedule which in~udes Division II powerhouse Towson State of Maryland as one oft he factors which will help make U B football "t he Oagship of New York ." Baskc1ball Coach Bauani said his recruiting will also benefit from the change in his duties. "Right now, we are much further along in our recruiting than ever before.'' he reported. In basketball. not only will 1he head coach be able to devote all of his lime lo his team. but one full-time assistant coach has also been hired . "Coach Rich Jacob will help this program tremendously." said Bazzani. Bau.ani also agreect with Dando ttiat the pressures will come not so much from the administration as from himself. However, Bazzani commented that .. it is not just because t do not have to teach classes that we will win m ore games. "This move wi ll defin itely help us. lt is a s1ep toward s bcner at hleticnt U B. It is also the fu lfillme nt of a promise I was made when I was pircd." he added.

But no b1g-city paper ever had campus editors who worked crazy hours and lived on submarine sandwic hes and wrote all the headlines for a S400 stipend . We felt we were ca rrying the banner of I he edilors who founded the paper in 1950. chronicling the cultural erup1ions of I he 1960s and I he sludcnt riots of 1970. When we gradualed. our volumes of ye llowed clippings took their place in the paper's morgue. Now, however. the Spectrum is $ 100.000 in debt . fending off credilors and borrowing from future receipts just 10 pay off old prin1ing bills. And when I tried to find out why. some of the editors dodged my phone calls. Richard Gunn, the paper's business manager. finally 1old me I he depressing tale. One of his predecessors somt;,how forgo! to bill the papers deblors. (The paper lost more than S IOO.OOO in 1981 and 1982.) Another former slaffcr raised his own salary by S 120 a week and left town after this was discovered. And emergency bailouts by I he siUdent government had failed to put the paper in the black .

The most recc:nt holder of the editor-in-chicrs job. the coveted office to which I was once elected was forced to resign after local authorites brought drug charges against him. Of course, chaos is routine at a stuc:;;!tcnt newspaper. where each year a new class comes in and tries to figure out how to run the show. But I still had trouble underslanding the SfNclrum S financial plight. In my day, with nearly 20.000 copies given away on campus, it was a marketing gold mine for what was then the pre- Yuppie market. packed with ads for stereos and ski eq uipmen t. t turns out. though, that the i.iscal collapse has its roots in my era. It was then that I he paper. seeking more editorial freed o m , changed from a subsidized venture to an independent corporation. We didn't want to be financially dependent on the college administration or the student governmen!. both of which we frequently criticized. Since advertising couldn't cover all our bills. we agreed to contract with the student government to provide a certain number of issues. But the next generation of editors, seeki ng sti ll more fr<edom. dro pped this s ubscript ion fee without figunng out how to replace the S30.000 it provided . Such problems may be endemic 10 college journalism. At the Michigan Dai~r. 1he respected University of Michigan paper that s pawned such activists as Tom Hayden, circulation has plunged and the editor.; now face the seco nd highest deficit in recent years. I may be blinded by nostalgia. but I think a paper like the Spectrum is important no1 only to lhe 15.000 undergraduates on campus. but to I tants if not for the S{Wrtrum. The uni· versity has no journalism program. so .lolunteering for the paper was the only way to find out whether one could actually make a living at this sort of thing. For me, working on the paper came at a time when I was 'moving from an exclusive preoccupation wilh . bas_kelball and girls to oocas1onaly consadenng other matters, sl,I.Ch as nuclear war.

So was Jarvis. He and his ... crew mates were the first to prove that the exploration of space. as with the exploration of all other frontlers before it. is a high risk venture. As an engineer. who understood perhaps better than most the complexity of the me-=hanical system in which he was riding, Jarvis most certainly would have known the risk . Yet in the interest of adventure and advancing science. he did it anyway. His specific mission: to test ways to improve the space transport system itself so that others might more easily follow.

This new center joins se.ve n others named in the fall . Each receives between S60.000 and $100,000 anntlall~ overthree years to allow it to become self-sufficient; then each is expected to bring in several times as much funding. The latest center emerged from two similar proposals which had been submitted . Rather than fund two competing units. th,r proposals were merged mto this one center. said Donald W.

Participants in the Center for Electronic and Electro-optiC Materials come from the fields of physics. chemical engin~ering, and electrical and computer engineering, as well as chemistry . .Most centers of this nature don't have chellists. 4 he said. "It gives a broader perspective on an overall topic." George said. The formal structure of a research center forces an · assemblage of people that might not happen naturally at this University where Chemistry is located on the Main Street Campus and the other participant ar-e at Amherst~ he noted. "It gives us m6tivauon, .. Anderson. added . T ne funding i> another· advantage. Anderso n aid. It provides money for travel to contact sponsors and money to pay students needed to gather preliminary data needed to develop support fr~m outside. It enables reseachers to bring in speakers and consultants from different fields. The structur< also provides outside recognition and suppon - it gives the center a competitive edge. George said. For instance, It may help in getting grants for expensive ettuipment. Right now. about 30 per cent of. the budget goes for equipment , he pointed out. That's being used as seed money to get lar~er equipment. Equ1pment includes high-vacuum systems for metallo-organic chem~cal vapor deposition and liquid pha.;e epitaxy. There's also sophisticated equipment for various types of electrical and optical measurements, Ander'son explained.

"This new degree is de>i$ned to bridge the gap between enginecnng and theoretical physic~. giving the graduate more ph ysics than can be obtained from an engineering degree," nccording to James H. Bunn. vice provost for undergraduate ed ucation : The joint degre-e program emphasizes elec tronics and is offered through both the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Faculty of a1ural Sciences and Mathematics. Faculty coordinators arc Jonathan F. Reichert. Ph.D., associate professor of physics and astronomy, and Dennis Malone. Ph.D .. professo r of electrical and computer engineering. Studenl> will be prepared for careers in applied physics. physical electronics, solid state electromcs. electrical metrology (the stud y of measurements). laser physics. and related fields. The program gives a combination oft he studyo( ph ysical principles of modern .electronics and training in app lied electrical measure- A ments, electrical design and instrumentation. and electronics. According to Reichert, the two fields of electrical engineering and physics are related. so the combination of the two fields of study is harmonious. "The student may be interested in both fields. He or she may have real knowledge and intereJ,t in electrical engineering. but may be imerested in the way the components work based on the fundamentals of physics." he said. "'Of course. the student of engineering physics has to give up something a1 each end. He or she may have less experience with applied electronics and less statistics and thermodynamics in physics. But the student gains on each end as well. The gradua te in the engineering physics area will have the knowledge of electrical circuit design ana the thcorctjcal basis for how the circuit work s. Most electrical engineers don't know quantum mechanics:· Reich ert indicated. The student may want to explore th e composition of microchips, for inslancc, and the theoretical basis for how they work found in quantum physics . In certain areas. the engineering physics major may have more options such as applted physics and physical electronics. accordmg to Reichert. The engineering physics major could work on developing processes for improving microchips. Reichert said ~me physics graduate is already working on failure rates in microchips ... This graduate is studying diffusion effects in microchips as well as other subtle problems," he said. adding that an engineering physics student would also be prepared for that ~ind of job. • he degree will be suitable Cit her for the student who wants to earn a master's or for someone who will be seeking a job on graduation ... The engineering physics degree will give the student a different set of tools than an electrical engineering degree, preparing him or her for a number of engineering jobs in materials develo pment. clcctricaJ optical systems~ circuit development. materials science. or anything thai a corporation would hire a physics major for," Reichert added. ... It may be easier for the stude nt in this field to gel a job than a student with a standard physics degree, which tends to be a startingdcgrecfor graduate work . In physics. we provide the basic tools that can be applied to systems," he said. T ~on the other hand. in elec1rical engineering. a semiconductor is simply pulled out of a hat. The student is more concerned with the design principles than the physics problems." he said. The engineering physics program would enable the Mudent to combine the two. Four semesters are required in techn ical areas ouLSide elcctncal engineering and physical elcctron.ics. The courses are in thermal and sta t istical physics , mechanical engineering, applied mcchanicst and fluid mechanics. There is also room for technical electives in addition to . required non-technical electives. The graduate could thus be prepared ' for graduate-level study in Ouid mechanics or mechanical engineering in addition to electrical engineering, depending on his or her interest. according tO" Reichert. A few graduates hav.. studied the same basic courses under the special major progr3lll, b•t the engineering physics program w:ls approved as a formal degree program thi fall . "It is a demandingst<luence," Reichert said.

He ex plained the nebulous ierm of .. frictional savings .., .. Frictional savings" are caused bel:ause not every position at U B is fille~ all the time, he said . If SO!llebody resigns. there are elaborate and time-consUming procedu res th at must be followed before the position ca n ·be refilled. . ,. While the positions are vaCant,. the University is saving money on the salaries; these savi nt\S are called "frictional savings." In anticipation of su~h vacan~ies, the State Division of Budget (DOB) has bu ilt a savi ngs factor into.the budget. UB ask"l! for so111e relief from this "frictio nal savings"· factor, so it could have more mo ney to spend. but the gover- nor's budget makes it worse. Greiner siid. · . The problem is that in order to meet the amo unt the DOB has' recbmmended -that U B save, the U niversity will have to . keep lines idle that norma lly wou ld be filled. . " DOB ca n purport to be funding us at o ne level when they're really fund ing us a t another . ~ · G reiner said. "The DOB reports the gross a mount they're givi ng us to the press, but they're riot s~bl ic about reporting this savings factor. "They put it in the top drawer and take it out of the bottom.~ Another sore point in this budget conce rns UB 's strulql!e for equity with other SUNY health sc1ence centers. Unlike the other three ce nters. U B does not run its own teaching hospi tals. It receives lease income to help the arfiliat~d hospitals, and clinical teachers arc usually sup ported by the hospitals. Greiner said. U B wants funding for its program in proportion to what the other cen ters get. But the DOB can' see the difference between funding t~aching and funding health care, he said, and won' provi~e the money. "So we11 go to the fegislature every year until we no longer'*have to make a · case for equitable treatment," he said . If the budget proposed by the governor becomes the final budget, a major proqlem will occur with personal services, Greiner said. The DOB has cut personal service-regular funds bel:ause, based on what was spent last year, it says Ull doesn' need as much . But the rwon UB spent less was because of the large nu mber 'of early retirements, he said. This additional cut ' in funding could mean a reduction of another 20 to 40 lines. In addition,. there 's still another JOUmber loom ing in the background: 228 lines that are to be cut syste m-wid e in .. addition to the UB e<~ts. t.he pro vost noted , . But SUNY hasn't been singled out. All accounts (except perso nal services) for all agenties were chopped, h.e no ted. Last yea r, th~ D.OB f UI temporary services . " It's our belief tbat this i si mply DOD's attempt to fit requests with revenues," Greiner said . S o if the DOB is just going to slash every budget request, why not just pad what you as k for? UB is given targets by SUNY a nd this campus must work within that framewo rk , Greiner explained. In turn. SUNY works within a set of deals it has made with the DOB. A nother reason for not asking for unrealistic amounts is that it will demoralize DOB. he said. "We may not love them. but they are employees. and they expect us to play within the rules.~ he said. Not everything can be blamed on the DOB. For instance. UB has been Biven more for ut ilities in the past than 1t has spent bel:ause the campus has s~v¢ money. Lhrough energy conserval10f4 Greiner ·ex plained. But that utility account will now be cut back. ."We're upset they took it out ," Greiner said. "Perhaps good management isn' rewarded .~ ., But it was SUNY that told UB to budgtJ., for a decrease ia that area. lie noted. . . This version of the budget, prepared by the DOB for the governor, still must be app roved by the State Legislature. So on the matter of fric tional savings, "clearly there will be a SUNY appeal to the Legislat ure, ~Greiner said.·"The DOB knows thk"' . He theorized that some of the cuts by the DOB may be caused by their loss of day-to-<lay control over spending due to the recent flexibility legiolatidn. In the ~ast . the DOB coufd start with a $155 million appropriati.on for . UB. knowing that through its con trols over spe nding, it t:ould limit spendi ng to only $146 million: Greiner said . ~ " I was told very frankly last yoar by a DOB exa miner. ' We can't nickel and diine you during the year [anymore]. so we11 get you up front,' " the provoS1 stated . But there's no ra ncor with the DOB. ·:The people at DOB know th is .n ot a good budget," he said. "They're apologetic. They probably won' be upset if most of this is restored." G reiner said what is rea lly needed is a stable SUNY budget for five years. T hat way. the Unlversitycould use its new flexibility and make so me significant reallocation choices. if 0 n 3nother topic. the provost and facult y seemed to reach consensus on the issue of sabbatical leave. The procedural change of having (o now include a vita _with the applicatjon is what got the issue started. according to Barbara Bono, assistant professor of English aod a 11)cmber of tlie Senate's · Committee on Faculty Tenure and Privileges that examined the issue. Sabbatical should be used for faculty de"l'loplll':nt, not as a reward for pre,vio~ work. she said. Greiner said if the vita revealed a facu lty member hadn' done much for ~vera I years, but the dean recommended the request be approved becau~e it would be a good way to reawaken the mstructor, the provost would approve the request. He noted that sabbaticals in'Ust be seen in the context o f the person applying for them. A lawyer shouldn' be granted a bogus sabbatical to do rcse¥ch in highenergy physics. And sabbaticals sbouldn' be thought . of as automatic after 12 semesters. Greiner explained that he .has the power to approve a sabbatical but only the president can deny sabbatical The prolll'saiS" are screened. by the chairme n a na deans beforl!' comi ng tO the prQVOSl. In the past two years. only one request • was n91 suppqrted by the provost:- , Greine~>ai<!. His j6b IS really ju t to . doul)le-<:heck what the deans have decided. T his system was .)Norked out because the deans said they needed guidance. If a req uest comes through tltat shows the faculty member has bee n carrying only a bare minimum workload in the department, it's reasonable to ask the dean why the teacher should be granted leave when he or she hasn ' been making a full contributio n. Greiner said. Then the deitn can reply that nothing shows on the vita because there's a book in pr..ogress and the ~ave ~ to '4rite the >eq uel. or that the faculty member final!~ has some enthusiasm and should be given the leave. 0 Continuing Ed is MFC once more; DUE gets -new name he Division of Continuing Education has been renamed Millard Fillmore College ( M FC) and the former Divjsion of Undergraduate Education is now the Division of Undergraduate Academic Services, Provost William Greiner a nnounced this Week.

Student retention effort reaches out ByAL BRUNO caching out and helping troubled student s is the mission of the Student Retention Program at UB. The program is an outreach effon designed to help those who are having problems - financial , academic. sociaL psychological, and others. There are two locations: 265 Capen on the Spine and 452 ~"tirgo Quadrangle in Ellicott. "Program staff sit down with a student. discuss the problem and .devisc a. mutually agreed upon effon for resolvang the difficulty," said H. William Coles, Ill. Ph. D .. coordinator of the Student Retention Program. Run primarily by trained graduate stud ents. the program aims to help fresh men who are having difficulty fitting into the large university system. This is done through informal talks. telephone calls, or by direct intervention _if R necessary. . According_to Janet Mather, a graduate tntern, staff of the program have alread y telephoned all freshmen commuters and .many freshmen in the dormitories to determine their perception~. of the Univers ny and to help them wuh any problems they might have. Although a bit tedious for the interns. panicularly at the beginning 9f the sc hool year. this is the best way to reach fres hmen and let them know about the se rvices and programs on cam pus designed to assist them. Coles said . "We have offered brochures. had advcniscmc nt s in 71t~ Sp~rtrum, and have put up posters all over both campuses.

""You're either in one of two positions in a break-u p. You're either the person getting the 'Dear John / Jane' letter or you're the person writing the ' Dear John /· Jane' letter. "Coles said. "The per.;on getting the letter feels very frustrated and experiences a feeling of wonhlessness." What do staff in the Student Retention Program do for students experiencing a rough break-up? "We try to let them know that there is life after separa tion. and that there are mal!)' potential relationships out there. So one girl (1\UY) dumj>ed you. it doesn' mean you fa1led. It's lake taking a 1.000question test - if yo u miss one. do yoU nunk? We also want to make sure that t hey accept the separation as a learning experience and that they are not afraid to love again," said Coles. He advises students U> be aware of the ..rebou nd relationship" because iCs not what it seems to be. • "There arc a lot of you ng people who go into relationships with expectations that are too high. I've talked with young people who go with him (her) for two weeks and already have names picked out for the first three kids."

KERSHNER . he 30 per cent mortality rate for severe multiple trauma patients could be almost eliminated .jf neW procedures for treating these palients were insti tuted in emergency rooms. a UB study has revealed. John R. Border, M.D., UB professor of su rgc{y who is acknowledged as one of' the fathers of modern trauma surgery, has pioneered . and" developtd ground-. breukmg new treatment methods that dramatically improve (he survival of patients wh<tsuffer from severe multiple trauma, often a result of traffic· accidents. tratnn.l\_ These advances in the care pat.ien ts-re .described by Border in an October 1985 Annals of Surgery article: he will r.ublish u book titled Total Care of Se~•erc y Injured Man (Marcel Dekker, :-1 . Y.T Bordtr also spoke about the su bJect in two dozen invited lectures in 1984 and 1985. Although his successful new techniques have been available to the medical community for at least three to four years. physicians in only a few American cities other than Buffalo have adopted · them .. Sinct the techniques consistently reduce the mortality rate of severe multiple trauma patients from 30 percent to 3 per ~nt or less, an estimated five to 10,000 lives per year could be saved if all hospitals employed Border's procedures. In addition, many hundred s of thousands more cou ld lead more ~productive, nor· niallives if Border's treatment were used. In researching reasons for the mortality of trauma patients. Border discovered unexpectedly that .. monalit y rates are more affected by the type of treatment than by the magnitude of the injury ... Except for brain injury, he learned that the mairr factor determining mortality rates was the way the trauma patient is managed on the night of entry to a hospital. Compared .to Borders approach. current treatment of fracture trauma in moderately injured patients results in periods of hospital stays and time on the ventilator which are two to four times longer, a 74-fold increase of bacteria in blood (infection), four times more pul. monary emboli and two to three ti.mes more pain mCdication use. Border has yet to lose a fracture trauma patient to the multiple system organ failure th~t results from traditional fracture management, he reports. Border's approach includ es six basic techniques: I) Aggressive treatment to prevent failure of heart a nd lungs. 2) Aggressive. immediate surgery for all injuries, including bone fractures, rather than the traditional ..conservative" repair of bone fractures several days later. 3) Massive protei.n nutritional support to prevent protein malnutrition, includ· ing oral feed in~~ as soo n as possi ble. High glucose admimstration is to be avoided. 4) Ventilation of the patient after surgery until proven it is no fonger needed. 5) The patient is sitting up on the day after surgery and no traction or casts are used. 6) Removal of all necrotic tissue around wounds and fractures during surgery on the first day. T of B order confidently states that if his approach is used, .. , expect that in the absence of severe brain. mjuries and pre~xist ing. organ failures, the patient will reliably surYive, that he will be on the ventilator two to four days, out of bed ~d si tting up in one to three days, eating in three to seven days. out oft he intensive care unit by seven days, out of the hospital by 21 days. and back to work by four to six months, and that he will have no significant permanent disability." Border developed his new approach because of the unfortunate pattern typical for many accident victims with maJOr multiple injuries. Although they may surVive the original trauma, many die days or weeks later of multiple system organ failure. The Harvard Medical School graduate learned tfiat this organ failure results from a com bination of pro· tcin malnutrition, sepsis, and cardiopul· monary problems. Stgnifieantly, the traditional method of treating trauma patients is what usually leads to these often lethal conditions. The .. secret" of the success of aggressi'vefracture surgery is that, "after you've been severely injured, you donl get better with time, you get worse,'' Border emphasizes. The patient's systen\ is stro ngest immediately after the accident, not days later when traditional surgery on fractures first t·akcs place. " I canl overemphasize the importance of aggressiv.e fracture surgery. Conservative treatment also prolongs the late septic state." Border declares, poinling out that it results in an infection rate 74 times higher and a fracture complication rate two to four times higher than that of aggressive surgery. "On night of admission, there is no suppression of the immune system. the least chance for introduction of virulent hospital bacteria, and there is much less bleeding in the operative wound. The combined changes reduce the risk of wound infection." Border comments. Rather than stemming from external sources of infection, the late sepsis of irauma patients that leads to death, Border dascovered, resu lts from internal sources ... Retained necrotic tissue (crushed muscle, blood , and bone tissue) leads to decreased antibacterial activity. The same changes lead to entry of bacteria from the intestinal contents. By the time conservative surgery removes the dead iissue, sepsis has already begun, .. Border expla1ns. " When immediate surgery is performed, a thorough cleaning of all necrotic tissue is absolutely necessa ry'' to maintain the system's anti· bacterial activity and to prevent entry of bacteria from the gut. T he second source of infection asso· ciated with the traditional apprqaeh is related to inadequate nutrition. Withoul sufficient protein support, the body will draw upon 1ts own.resources of stored nutrients, especially mus.cle pro~ tein. This muscle breakdown leads to malnutrition in the gastrointestinal mucosa which in turn leads to entry of toxins and bacteria. With the gut unable t9 confi ne the intestinal bacteria, they spread to the rest of the body and cause sepsis. Bormr explains th at the problem is worsened by the fact that "when an accident occurs, the intestine stops working. leaving the bowel full of bacteria and toxins which accumulate.·· Furthermore. since the intestinal cells are not being "fed" by oral ingestion of food,_the nor- "Up to 10,000 lives each year could be saved if hospitals used· Border's · procedures. " mally efficient barrier of the gut-liver complex is grossly reduced . This is one reason why Border stresses the importance of immediate to very early ingestion of food. , Independent from tbe prevention of sepsis, massive protein support is an essential part of Border's protocol because the injured body ·needs it to repair its tissue. lt provides four to six times more protein and 25-50 per cent more calories (with glucose) than healthy people require. However, Border cautions that glucose must not be given at levels of 100 per cent.<Jr more in excess of normal requtrements. Excessive glucose will lead to development of fat in the liver. causing th is vital organ to break down. esides sepsis and malnutrition. the third reason for the demise of trauma patients has been cardiopulmo· nary failure. Pl aci ng trauma patients on ven tilators for a§.long as needed preven ts cardiopulmona ry failure (due to fa t emboli). Immediate resection of 'all necrotic tissue is very important in reducing the duration of lung failu re. Border found th a t conservative surgery, which calls fo r traction requiring a supine position,.prevents the lungs from breathing deeply. This causes retention of secretions and leads to pulmonary edema and pneumonia. Aggressive surge ry. on the other hand, permits the patient to sit upright, breathe deeply and cough up secretions. further minimizing cardio· pulmonary difficulties. Also aiding the patients' recovery is the reduction of prolonged pain and anxiety normally ass.ociated with delayed repair of fractures, fears Of successive operations , and inability to talk because of intubation. 'Prolonged pain and anxiety. Border emphasizes, complicate recovery because of their harmful effects on the· central nervous system and upon ingestion of food and protein metabolism. Border hopes his approach will become standard not only for the sake df patients but also for its beneficial effect on society. "We could cut hospital stays and usc of hospital resources in half," he states. Patients are also much more likely to recover sooner and to return to productive lives. B W hy is his approach not more wide- spread? Border speculates that new understandings of old problems are always slow to be adopted:" He also believes that there is inadequate commuriication between orthopaedic and general surgery depanments in the U.S., so that fractures are treated by both disciplines as though there were no other injuries (rather than by using the "total patient" approach). Border thinks tiis approach will be adopted only where hospitals include neurosurgeoos, orthopaedists, surgeons, anesthesiologists; radiologists and rehabilitation specialists as pan of the front line team, working closely together. He sees his titinin~ of surgical resi. dents and medical students as a hopeful sign. Two of his trainees haveestabhshed the approach in Dallas and H'ouston, for e~ample. But despite all his effons, adoption of the technique in other hospitals has been slow. 0 �Februery 8, 11118 Volume 17, No. 18 . e Ie n · [ !ower class black male streetcorner behavior has spread I~ almost every aspect of Amen· can life," according to He~ben L li~~~e~;PUO~ess~~:;f~~~;~.g~~~i~~\~~f; · ' . · ' · n · · • teachers. have to learn to understand it.

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

UB will hold a memorial service in Jarvis' honor at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. ~ in Slee Hall. "He was such a great man," Lee said of .Jarvis, who received his B.S. in electrical engineering from UB in 1967. " He deserves to be remembered and honored. "He's the kind of person our sLUdents hould look to and follow. He was a good role model· for the young."

Lee said he was going to. write a letter to Jarvis inviting him to time his visit to coincide with an Apri l open house. . "I never got to write to him," Lee said sadly. It wasn 'tjust the astronaut's connection to UB that brings on a sense of loss, Lee noted. "He was such a SUJ?er fellow- intelligent and out~oing," Lee said "He had all the important characteristi<;s of a human being. It was just the loss of a good human being and a good role model for the young." . In hi address he!·e at the M,ay 18 Engineering commencement, Jan~s exhorted graduates to "r·each [{)r the stars."

Hughes Aircraft Company. •was assigned two payload specialist 5lots on the ASA mission. Jarvis was selected from a field of 600 applicants. Ironically. Jarvis ·had a long wait for his first space night. He was bumped off' the roster in March. 1985. by Sen. J ake Garn. R-Utah. Jarvis was rescheduled for August of that year. then for Christmas Day. and bumped off the roster by Rep. Bill Nelson. D-Fia. He was rescheduled for Jan. 22. Despite the delays.

Because of weather and mechanical problems. the Jan. 22 night . was rescheduled for Jan .-25, then 26. then 27. and fipally was launched Jan . 28. Jarvis never seemed scared to go into space. according to Mary Beth Spina of the UB News Bureau . "He told me, 'I'm really looking forward to it so much . I never really had any fear about it,· .. Spina related. "I think !he overwhelming magnitude of getting tO do it nullified what ':"Ould normally be a fearful situation ... Still. he knew dangt:rs were involved. she sa'id · " I guess he died doing what he wanted to do," she added. Jarvis was an extrovert, Spina said. the kind of man you feel you've known all your life after talking to him only for a feWminutes. And even though he was one of a handfu l selected to go into space, there didn' SCC!" to be a lot .of clamor around him as a celebrity. "He seemed kind of touched that we M'ted him to speak at commencement ... Spina said. And it was his own idea to carry a U B nag wit~ him on the shuttle. "He said that the University had given him a great deal and he wan"d to make this a unique gift ... she. said. On the shuttle night, Jarvis was to test the effects of weightlessness on nuid in r-anks. It was hoped his .experiments would give engineers new information on the design of liquid-fueled rockets. There has been much speculation ar. to how the 'explosion of Challenger will affect future missions. The program has been temporarily halted until investigators find the cause of the accident. While }he explosion was obviou>ly unfortunate, Dean Lee sees these risks as a necessary evil in seeking knowledge. And everl if Jarvis knew the outcome oi this night, he would have been in favor of continuing the program, Lee speculated. "I hope (the accident) doesn' hurt the effon toward the noble goal of seeking knowledge," Lee said. . 1 J arvis was born Aug. 24, 1944, in Detroit. He grew up in Mohawk, N.Y .. near Utica. After receiving his B.S. from UB. he earned his master's degree in electrical engineering from ortheastern University in Boston in 1969. He also completed courSework for a master 1S in management science at the West Coast UniVersity of Los Angeles. He served as a satellite engineer in the Air Force and achieved the rank of cap.tain before resigning to become a Hughes engineer.

Along with seven other UB student . they are to attend a conservative convention which w1s sc heduled to be highlighted by a dinner with President Reagan . 0 Should faculty debate or not debate AlA? he q·uestion of whether a faculty member should debate the national director of Accuracy in · Academia prompted a debate of its own at last wee~.'s Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. Claude Welch, professor of political science and chairman of th e Faculty . Senate, said he would be willing to participate in such a debate planned by the Student Association for February or March. (Accuracy in Academia is a Washington, D.C.-based organi zation th at sea rches for feftist bi ases in professors.) Charles Petrie, associate professor of communication. questi oned whether debating the group is dignifying it more than it deserves. He sugge>ted that laughing it out of existence might be better. Mar)' Bisson . assistant profes:,or in biological sciences. disagreed. noting that T biologists have had the same sort of problem with creationists for a long time. The biologists found thai by ignoring it, the lssue was taken seriously, she said. If the faculty debate this group, " we're creating a forum for them. " Petrie argued ... It reminds me of the press cover~ ing hijackings.'' Barbara Bono. assistant professor of English. questioned the form of the debate and whether arguing against a group called " Accuracy in Academia " put one in th e position of arguing for inau uracy in academia. ·•Are you worried about being used? .. she asked Welch . While debating the group rna~ overdignify ih academic freedom must have its strong defenders, he answered . Willi•m K. George, profe.sor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, noted lhat just :.'s it would be a tactical error to choose an atheist biologist to debate a creationist , it might be a mistake to choose a liberal to represent the facult y in the debate. The conservatives in the audience would find conservative faculty member more credible than a liberal one. he suggested. a A lso at the meeting. the Faculty Senate Executive Committee voted to suppo rt the concept of a SUNY-wide transfer policy, but only for parallel programs. The concept is outlined in a proposed joint resolution of the SUNY Faculty Senate and the Faculty Council of Communuy Colleges. The resolution says that there ought to be a ~ys tem where students can transfer ca~ily between S NY two~year and four~ year schools. and get a bachelor'>degree 10 four ye::trs. said Walter Kun1, acting dean of undergraduate academic services and SUNY senator. · UB's transfer policy agrees with the particulars of the resolution, he noted. However. the associate of applied science or A.A.S. degree is included along with other associate's degrees in the plan. The A.A.S. is a terminal degree. not intended for transfer. Kunz said. Therefore. the Faculty Senate Executive Committee vo ted that this polic) should pertain only to parallel programs that are essentia lly the same 3S what a student would take here. One facuhy member commented that it's \·ery difficult to figu re out from the Undergraduate Bulletin which of a transfer student's courses v.ould be accepted . Kun7 noted that articulation :.tgrccments arc worked out with several two-year colleges and th o>e >ho uld probably be included in the next printing of the bulletin. 0 Public Safety issues assailant's composite P ubhc Safety investigators have issued a new composite photo of a man involved in a series of a!!.sault!!! on female students in th e Ellicoll Com plex, after receiving a description from a witness who said he saw the man shortly before he a:,saultcd a 19-vea r-old student in Red Jackel Saturday night. ln>ptctor Dan Jay reported that a male ~tude nt !taw a man ·an:,wei-ing the general descri ption of the assailant shortly before --- .. - ... ~ the attack , which occurred at about 11 :45 p.m. Saturday.

Good news: the higher education depression is over Higher Education and the American Resurgence by Frank Newman Carneg1e Foundat1on for lhe Advancement of Teachrng.ISBN 0-931050-28-6 The Future of Graduate Education edrled by Bruce L R Sm~h. T.he Brookrngs lnslllulron, ISBN 0-8157-7995-X T .o judge from these informative volumes. the ..depression .. in American highcli. education is over. and those responsible !or decision-making are looking toward a somewhQ.t more optimistic future. Many imponderables continue, of cqurse. including Jhe government's fiscal situation and the long-term' \ future of·Hte economy. but for the short 'run , higher educatiOn seems' in relatively good health. The states. which provide the largest share of. funding for the publ ic sector of American higher- education. have been fairly ge nero us in the past few years. The enrollment declines which were predicted have not occurred despite a decrease in the si1e of the rele vant age group. and publ ic confide nce in higher education see ms to be relatively high. Of co n.siderable impo rtance. the current ..excellc:nee .. movement in education has had some impact on h\&hcr education and it has strengthened those, such as t~e authors of these two volumes, who are concerned with the overall improvement of post--secondary education, with research, and with advanced degree work in the un iversi ties. Hixht r £duration and tht Amt'rican RtJurg~n ct and 71rt Stolt of Graduate £duration are products of the "Establishment" and have blue-ribbon sponsorship. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is . responsible for Frank Newman's report. while the prestigious Brookings Institution. a Washington think-tank of a relatively liberal bent. s ponsored the co nference which resulted in Bruce L. R. Smith's collection of essays. Both volumes Provide very useful overviews of the current status of American higher education, and also make a range ~suggestions for future policy. :!t; They will both be important in current debates about policy and about the future of American higher education. Frank Newman. former president of the University of Rhode lsland a!'d now head of the influential Education Commission of the States, has written the more complete- and also the more influential of the two volumes. H igher EdU(·ation Dnd the Amerkan R~lurgen'ce is a full blown discussion of the role of post-secondary education in contemporary American society. II attempts to make future predictions and suggest policies to meet future challenges. The main thrust is to link current and future societal and \ economic trends to higher education and to ensure that the universities (there is hardly any mention of the large two-year community college sector) are able to participate fully in these societal and economic changes. The challenges are not surprising- an increased dependence on foreign trade, the new technologies and the computer revolution, the necessity to retain American leadership in research. and the improvement of standards in higher educauon. The solutions are also not particularly su rprimng or innovative. although their implementation would certainly make a difference 1n higher education. There is no detailed analysis of undergraduate education- the focus of some other recent innuential reports, although Newman proposes that the idea of service to soc1ety be stressed and opportunities for community and social service be included as part of the undergraduate experience. This volume is much more concerJled with the provision of high-level technical personnel, with researcb and development, and with linking !Jle universities with industry. There are a range of specific su~estions embedded in this overall analySi s of trends and issues. T he Futurfl of Gracluatt Eclu£·atiun is a collection of essays by establishment figures. Not surprisingly. three out of nine chapters deal · specifically with engineering and computer science graduate education. A few years ago. not so much stress would have been placed in these areas. Despite severe problems i'h American graduate- education during the past decade. the authors of these essay• find it in relatively good shape. There are new challenges. to be ~ure, but the overall situation i ~ not a disaster although careful planning must now take place so graduate education may . respond lo future trends. There has been a dramatk change in the academic labor market in the United States. Graduate enrollmerus have dropped in a number of fieldsincluding even engineering. but 'most "" dramatically in the humanities and social sciences. The number of teaching jobs in higher education has been very limited. although there a re now signs of change- and the possibility is that • there will not be a sufficient number of doctoral graduates to fill these positions. F..Jil:lher. in a field like engineering. more than half of the doctorates are now going -to foreigners, with inevitable coosequences for the " future of teachi1'1g and research in this · field . · There is also a problem of the . maintenance of facilities for research and graduate teaching. University building) and laboratories are now out of date and poorly maintained. During the cutbacks of the 1970s, "deferred maintenance'' was a means of saving money. and little equipment Was purchased. Now, these false economies must be paid for 'with increased bu\\ding. A chapter on minority students in graduate education indicates that. for the most part . minorities. particularly blacks and Hispanics, continue to be underrepresented in virtually all fields. and thetr proportions have not dramatically increased. Only AsianAmericans have increased. and they are now overrepresented. particularly in the sciences. These two books are. in a sense. handbooks for future developments in American higher education. They have the imprimatur of key agencies and both are informative, well documented. and carefully argued. They will be particularly useful for charting how the advanced levels of American higher education will respond to the challenges of the next few years. 0 - PHILIP G.

MARLETT REBECCA BERNSTEIN ALAN J. KEGLER �Jouary 30, 11188 Volume 17, No. 17 Inventions New procedure encourages 'disClosu,res' By CONifiE OSWALD STOFKO larger slice of royalty payments is just one of the incentives that · now exist to encourage researchers to file .. invention disclosures ... said EdW'ard M. Zablocki. coordinator for industrial and external relations in U B's . Office of the Vice President for Sponsored Programs. U8 researchers are supposed to go through the inven tion di'Sclosure process when they discover something that may be patentable or licensable. he explained . (In licensing. a company pays for the right '" use a technology for a limited time.) The researcher submits a form to U B which ls then sent on to the State University Research Foundation's Office of 'Technology Transfer.· .:fhat SUNY office handles the determination · of patentability . .then tries to market the idea to industry. • If the discovery is suCcessfully patented and licensed , the researcher. d1rectly and indirectly. receives most of the royalties generated. Zablocki said. The researcher personally receives 40 per cent of the gross royalties - "a fairly liberal figure." Zablocki commented. The big recenr change is that the bulk of the remaining 60 per cent now comes back to UB to benefiuhe researcher. Zab· locki noted, Under a prior policy, the State University Research Foundation retained 60 per cent of the nel. ow. it keeps only a bout 12 percent of t he net for administrative cosas. The remaining chunk is now ~ pl i t almost equally between the rescarcher"s laboratory, his department. and an account used for research development funds . Zablocki said . A Kung's new drug went through the patent process fa researcher really wants to sec his technology get used in the market· place. he11 take the time to go through the invention disclosure process. said Hank Kun g. Ph .D .• who di ~cove rc:d a drug that has been patented I through the University. Kung. an associate profc:s~o r in the Department of Nuclear Medicine. deve ~ lo ped a drug th at will allow safer. less costly, and often more accurate diagnosis illld management of stroke and other brain disea e~. One of the · rllajor co nsideration~ !'8r Kung .in his decisio n-to pursue the invention d1sclo!<.urc procedure is the tremend- ous cost involved in getting a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The studies required before a drug is approved can cost between $5 million and S 10 million. he sa1d. · A drug conipany \loould not wan t to >pend that kind of money developing a drug if it didn't have patent protection. Otherwise. another com pany could come along and take adva ntage of the work, he expla ined. "So in order to see something applied in the marketplace. it"s the process you have to go through." Kung said. Before tho/State University Resea rch Foundation Office of Technology Transfer was set up, there were federal agencies that could help, but the process was very cumbersome, he said. " ow the State finally realizes there are benefi ts for both the State and the companies." W he n the foundation's Office of Technology Transfer receives an application, it has to make choices. Patent lawyers' fees can cost from S2.000 to $10,000, so the office doesn't want to spend money unles~ it can ex pect that some company will pay for technology once it's patented. Kung said. " We were lucky,"hc said. "Even before we filed for the patent, we were approached by a drug com pany. So the Office of Technology Transfer knew ihey'd recover their money ... The researcher has to take some time to explain to the lawyers, who may not be 1amiliar with the researcHers' field or his terminology. what a new technology invohes. Kung admitted that there were moments when it seemed to be taking time away from his researeh~·ork. ~ But it'~ still wonh it to him: panty because he feels an obligation. and part!) because of th e benefit> of obtaining a patcn1. " A ~ a faculty member workmg for S NY. I feel it's part of my job to go through the effon so th e technolog) can be used." he >aid. There are monetary ad\antages 40 per cent of the royalties are divided between the inventors. ( Kung and Monte Blau. formerly of the UB faculty. "ere named on the patent, he said.) A rc~earc h er may also find that the invention can attract industrial re~earch support. Kung said he wa<. able to get another n:scarch grant because or the patent. A commercial advantage is being able to stake a claim in a particular area. he noted. Kung added a tip for resea rche rs: Be a~are oft he timing when making a public d1sclosure: that is, when publishing a paper or submitting rli<iterial to a national meeting. In the United States, a researcher has one year from th e time of public disclo· su re to file fo r a patent. In Europe. a researcher loses the right'lo file for a pat· ent as oon as he makes the public disclosure, Kung said.. 0 n the 1984-85 fiscal year. UB led the Iinvention SU Y system in both the number of disclosures made and in the amount of royalty inco me generated . he noted . About 52 per cen t of total receipt s, or about Sl23.350 out of $24,9,170. related to UB licenses, royalties. and other related so urces, Zablocki said. U B submi tted 26 of the 66total invention disclosures, or almost 40 per cent. Stony Brook, by comparison. >u bmitted only 13, he reported. While UB is leadi ng the SUNY pack. t~e U~iver. i_ ty is not doi ng as we lin~ pubhe UOIVCrSiliCS or Comparable ~i1e in the Midwest . he said. noting that 16 of UB 's 26 invention disclosures \locre submined by only three faculty membe!">. Ronald. ,SWn, iotpim vice 11ff,1id<JV for spon~o·recTprograms. and hisSlaff are makong an effort to help facu lty realize the potential benefits both to them perso nally and to the public in filing invenuon d1!tclosures. Zablocki said. It is important that r~earchen. file imention di~closuresso a tcchnologv has a chance to sene the public goad:enabling a com pany to use a technology and help the econom). he said. A company u sual)~ needs some kind of protection of its rights to a technology before it will invest money to develop it. Without the protections afforded through the invention disclosure process. the technology isn) usable. F acuity members may shun the inven•tion disclosure process because they are unaware of it or they misunderstand it, Zablocki said. R ese~rche rs may think the process is time-consuming and '~;'ill pull them away from theiT research. Or, they may have heard from ~olleagues that things were not handled very e!Tfctively on the past. That may have bien true around 1981 he admitted. when SU Y was changing from havin~ a private company handle onveniJon doo;closures to handling them itself. But n!'w the 'Office 9fTechnology Transfe r. WJlh four full-tome people, is bet~e.-:s taffed and bentr prepared to assiSt tn the process of patenting and licensi ng S U Y technology. Also, .UB will continue to asslst researche~ in preparing inventiQn disclosure forms. Zablocki said . This is now handled through the Office <If the Vice President for Sponsored Programs and throughlheWestern ewYorkTechnol· ogy Development Center (TDC). (The TDC IS a pnvate. non-profit corporation formed to aid technology transfer on Western ew York.) · Cha nges at the niversity will benefit ind ustry a ' well. Zablocki pred icted . A proposed new patent policy will make licensable tec hnology from Y signif-' tt'"dntl),.more an racttve to corporations. "The former policy was very negati>~t in tone,·· Za blocki explained. "It almost said that patents were an unfortunate byproduct of research that had to be dealt with." If approved .the policy would allow the Office of Technology Transfer to enter in to long-term exclusive relationship~ with compa nie~ more: easily. Those are the kinds of re lationships companies prefer. he added . . ocal companies can benefit from still another recent development. The L TDC has a n agreement with th e SU Y Research Foundation to market inventions from UB t o Western e" York. com panies. . - A technological development can stay sn the area to benefit local companies," Zablocki noted. · Local companies will ge t an e.\ciUSI\C one-month lead time on licensable technol ogies.

In o rde r to read Japanese o r Chinese. th e U B language ex pe rt no ted . one must be able . in either case. to recognize' about 3.000 lingui stic characters . This compare' with the 26-leuer Roman alphabet that makes up the English \an$uage. Another advantage of Enghsh. Dunnett explained. is a syntax form that "all ows for direct expression" - to tell it like it is. D unneu al so extolled the nexibility of English in its role of a "living langu age.·· It allows for borrowing words fr o m otticr languages. he explained. creating new word s and dropping outmoded on es. While English i' the world's mo ·t widely accepted languttge 'for communicating in matter~ of business and technol ogy. Dunnett pointed out. other languages al so tend to lind specialized role~. Fre nCh. for instance, is de~cribed by Dunnett as •·great for diplomacy but too cumberso me for science and business ... He views German a~ ··good for science ... UB 's Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) was founded in 1971. with Dunnett at the helm. to meet the needs of foreign student s who were enrolling here at u growing rate. Tflrough subsequent re ci procal agreement s. I ELl soon · became an English lcci(ning mecca for repre ~e ntatives of foreign governments. compan ies doing business on a global scale and worldwide organizations and agencies. including the United Nations.

F or \i.ngui.sti.c experts. such. as Dun· nell. worldwide use of English comes in two basic packages - native and adopted. A~ a native Language, English reigns supreme in England, Ireland. Scotland. the United States. Australia. and New Zealand'. In other parts of the world - such as India. Malaysia. South Africa. Singapore. and Hong Kong - English is a .. lingua franca ... or .. bridging over"' language. But usage varies. In Japan. for example. it is estimated that 120 million persons have learned to speak English but tend to speak Japanese in their homeland and English while abroad. Dunnell calls I his pallern "English for instrumental purposes" as oppo:.cd Jo "English for integrative purposes." Jn nations where the study of a second language is required, Dunnell observed. "English invanably is the first choice." German and French. he added. are the most popular second choices. particu· larly in European nations. It has been determined. Dunnell related. that one in every seven persons throughout the world has "some knowledge" of the English language. A naturalized American born in London . England. Dunnell joined the U B faeuhv and became director of I ELl after serving as a professor of English at Uni· versitede Montpellier in France. While in France. he also taught English at the IBM-France Education Center i n Montpellier. His educational bac kground includ es >tud y at U B. where he earned both his bac helo r of art ' and Ph.

By investigating the effects of cultural adaptation on second-lailguage acquisition and academic achievement. he strives to improve the total educational environmen t of foreign' students in I ELl progra~s. . Students enrolled an I ELI courses are exposed t o liberal doses of American culture at UB and surrounding areas. hina's emergence as a "waking giant .. in its pursuit of economic advancement also is of s~ial interest to Dunnell as I ELI brings English profi, ciency to the vanguard of Chines~ i~du~­ trial managers and educators e.ntolled 10 UB's recently established Master of .

The relative >implicit y of English is viewed by Dunnett as particularly well suited to computer programming, a vital function ilf"processing business information. What if China emerge as a leader in · global commerce? Dunnett suggested that the Chinese language could vie for some recognition in made-to-order situations.

This is a long awaited move. 4250 Ridge Lea, I he formef' address of UCS, has been the home of the professional staff and all mainframes since 1968. That 's when the Interim Campus was built to last for five years! The 4250 Ridge Lea building had become woefully unreliable, facilities had become worn out, and the machine room floor space was no longer sufficient to keep pace with the growing demand for new computer equipment. Furthermore, the remote location - even though it was jus.t across the Youngmann Expressway - posed an ever increasing problem for data communication delivery to the Amherst Campus and the Main Street Campus. Substantially enhanced computer services will be available from the new Computing Center with far reaching and dramatic changes for every student, faculty, and staff member who uses computers. A large number of electricians, telephone technicians, computer equipment installers, and commun ications specialists have prepared our new headquarters, filling its attractive machine floor room wall to wall with brand new computer equipment leased and / or purchased from many different vendors. BY HINRICH M ARTENS �Located as an attached structure on the west end of Ffonczak Hall. the 36,000-square-foot facility will be the home of. the central computing systems. tfle Offices of the Associate Vice President for Computing and Information Technology, Academic Computing, Administrative Computing, and Operations. The move will be carried out in several steps: 11 began January 13 and ends March 3, 1986. Academic Computing. ucs·administrative offices. and a 'portion ol Operations are already relocated, while Administrative Computing will be moved last. An impressive array of new computing. equipment has been installed in the new center as a result of planning which started several . years ago .. Th.e combined value of all new equipment.-if purchasEjd at curren t list prices, is approximately $12.1 million. The computer · syste~s with the 1)1ost significaflf benefit are the la~ge IBM system and the DEC VAX Cluster. For the first time m the University's history of <' computer development we enjoy full access to the two· cemputel\environments which predominate in"U.&. colleges and universities. Their presence removes barriers which in. the . past have prevented us from using many software packages available elsewhere. There IS about a 99.9 per cent probability that software which is of interest to our University community will run on either the IBM system under VM/CMS. or th e· VA~ster under VMS, or the UNIX computers. T he Changing Role of the Computing Center Four years ago when we knew that we could not build a comprehensive Computing Center we aftempted to read the future of computer development. so that we could make logical priority selections on what functions should be housed in the center. Historically, we were at the tail end of batch computing dominated by large mainframes. The switch to interactive, timesharing computing was just beginning to have an impact on our University, greatly increasing the need for remote access and distributed resource sharing. We concluded that interactive computing would be a major force shaping the future of computing at UB, and thus proceeded to shift computer access from the central facilities entirely to remote sites. This direction has been pursued vigorously in the last three years leading to the esta blishment of many remote sites to support instructional computing needs. To underscore this effort two new computing sites have been opened in the Science and Engineering library. One is equipped with microcomputers to support the new computing m1nor. The other is being filled with DEC VT220 terminals. These terminals will provide access to all the features of tre VAX machines, many of which are inaccessible from other terminals. On the Main Street Campus another microcomputing facility has been opened in Crosby Hall. This facility will serve Architecture. Chemistry, and Mathematics. Today the University is in the midst of another major shift in campus computing - the personal computer revolution. This development fortunately comes as a natural extension of the shift toward interactive terminal access. and all .of our planning assumptions of four years ago regarding remote access remain valid The computer facilities housed m the Computing Center. in addition to providing computer power and access to software libraries. will more and more assume the roles of the campos network hub for personal computer traffic and the provider of information from large centrally maintained file systems T he New Computing Center The build1ng was constructeq over a - p e riod of about 26 months by the Balling Constr.uction Company Bazemore Associates. Inc., was the architect. The interior layout is compact and efficient; however. it provides space only for centralized. and special services. The budget approval for the building took place four yea it ago when the State went through a S'@!vere fiscal squeeze. As a result, frugality was one of the themes guiding the des1gn. Constrained by a limited budget, we were forced to virtually eliminate all student oriented computer support functiOI'Is from the building. and develop remote computer sites instead, to be derived from existing University space. The first floor of our new building has a large machine room and offices for the Operations staff. The machine room will house a new Sperry 1100/91 for Administrative Computing. an IBM 3081/GX for both Academic and Administrative Computing, and a Di9ilal Equipr.-~ent VAX Cluster for Academ1c Computing In addition, two-new state-of-the-art additions will also occupy the machine roor:n, a i<ER0X 8700 laser printe1 and a Floailng ..Point Systems FPS-164 array processor. The second floor has been assigned to the UCS-wide Core Systems Staff and ttle Academic Computing, staff: represen ting User Services and the Microservices group. There will also be a high resolution graphics facility, a microcomputer demonstration area, a consulting room, and an Input/Output (1/0) room. Both impact and laser printing output will be distributed from the second floor 1/0 room. The. third floor will be home for Administrative Computing and the Office of the Associate Vice President for Computing and Information Technology. There will also be a UCS training facility equipped with terminals and advanced audio-visual equipment. S pecial Physical Facilities The utilities servicing the Computing Center are also impressive. Designed with efficiency, bacl<-up capabilities, and long-term reliability in mind, a sophisticated engineermg support system has been assembled Because we painfully learned from our woefully inadequate facilities on the Ridge Lea Carnpus. all foreseeable provisions and precautions have been considered and included. Air conditioning 1s prov1ded by five. 20-fon Liebert units which discharge Chilled a1r under the recessed floor of the 6,000-square-foot machine room. The five units are controlled by a central panel automatically regulating temperature and humidity so they are uniform throughout the room. Two of the mainframes. the IBM 3081/GX and the Sperry 1100/ 91 , require chilled water for cooling. This is provided by two chillers located in an adjacent utility room. One chiller acts as the primary unit, while the other is a back-up and supplementary unit. The heat energy extracted from the machine room air and the mainframes is absorbed by the University"s chilled water system. Dunng the months when the chilled water plant IS not in . ope:ration, the chillers will take over the chilling function through internal refrigeration. and the Computing Center's own pumps will circulate the underground chilled water system which will act as a giant reservoir of cooling water. T-he same cooling concept IS employed in the operation of the air, conditioning units The machine room is equipped with a variety of sensors to detect trouble conditions such as water under the floor. smoke in the air, excessive temperatures or humidity. Various systems will provide appropriate remedies. The most exciting is the Halon fire extinguishing system, which when triggered will d1scharge a gaseous mixture designed to rob the air in the mach1ne room of all oxygen. The Halon system is totally effective within 10 seconds after discharge, ext1nguishing all fire w1th no secondary damage to the computer equipment. The disch11rge of the Halon system is accompanied by an ear deafening noise; naturally, all operating personnel will have prior · warn1ng to leave the area before thiS occurs. E.lectrical power to the Computer Center is Hlnrich Martens. associate vice president-for cpmputlng & information technology (left(. and Dennis Henneman. director of openlions, Uni· versity Computing Center.

In the.case of a power failure there w1ll be a controlled shutdown of all systems. assuring always a troublefree recovery. This will protect both equipment and data stored on the mass storage devices ·N ew Developments in Data Communications The data communications networks that are being installed and maintained are specialized collect1ons of electronic hardware. software. and transmission facilities that make rt poss1ble for terminals, microcomputers. and larger computers to communicate w1th each other 1n an eff1c1ent and 'relatively 1nexpens1ve manAer Ten y~ars ago. there were less than 100 termirtlfs ill UB and most computer users were content with dial-up access to computers at transm1ssion rates of 1 t 0 or 300 bits per second (BPS). equivalent to approximately 10 to �!----....._---------UNIVERSITY COMPUTING SERVICES link to the Engineering Buildings LANs. The coJ]lplete ETHERnet LAN structure will support intercommunication for all VAX computers and · the Sperry 7000 UNIX machine. In addition, all· faculty offices and 80 student terminals and microcomputers in Engineering will have access. Computer Science will have its own departmental ETHERnet. With the growing activities in data communications in the University and hundreds of devices on the two campuses needing access, one might expect substantial and expensive data Unkage requirements between the campuses. This is indeed the case. One of the most exciting network developments today involves the planned installation of a Universityowned and operated microwave radio link between the Main Street and Amherst campuses. The system is a fully redundant digital microwave system that ca n support up to 6 MBPS of data ·or digitized voice tr.affic in bot~ directions at very low costs compared to leased telephone facilities. The microwave ]ink will enable substantially improved netw51'k support on the Main Street Campus. and high speed data access to the Computing Center facilitleso on the Amherst Campus. Installation is expecled to occur in the spring of ttiis year. Intercampus communications requirements extend beyond the UB campuses, and the University will soon b!;l installing the first links of a large network that ~II tie all of the SUNY campuses together by the summer of 1986. Initially, access to the State-wide network will be supported through the new 18M system and its n~work. Eventually all of the UB networks will be interconnected. These facilities will · supplement existing access to BITNET, the international university network for mail and small file transfer, as well as accesS"to NYSERNET, a projected high speed S,tate-wide network with access to the National Supercomputer Centers. 30 characters per second Over the intervening years. however, skyrocketin!,l telephone costs and requirements for ever h1gher transmiSSIOn rates provided compelling reasons for the University to deploy and operate its own data commumcations networks. These networks, now valued at about $2 million, support over 1,000 attached devices with transmission rates ranging from 1200-2400 BPS (120 to 240 characters per second) for terminal-like devices to 10,000,000 BPS (lO MBPS, or mega bits per second) for high performance microcomputer workstations and larger computers. The largest and best known UB network is the DCA network. DCA stands for Digital ·communications Associates. the designer and manufacturer of the-multiplexing and switching systems that are the network building blocks. The DCA network IS designed primarily to support communications between terminals or m1crocomputers emulating terminals and large mainlrame computers. In particular, the network is designed for lhe relatively_low transmission rates and relatively short bursts of trafhc that are characteristic of human operators at typ1cal Interactive terminals. Today, the DCA network has over 1500 ports scattered over the three UB campuses and enables communications . between any connected office or de~ice and any of the University's major computing resources. These include seven DEC VAX's, two Prime computers. two large Con!r()l Data mainlrames and the Sperry admm1Sirat1ve . system. Two major nodes have been a9ded 1n the Computing Center to make the IBM/3081 system.and the VAX Cluster accessible on the DCA network Further into the luture. we expect to be able to support general access to such services as an on-line library card catalog We are also now working on plans to increase transmission rates from the 1200-2400 BPS supported today to at least 4800 BPS and possibly" 9600 BPS. W1th the arnval of the IBM system an entirely new mode of synchronous communication will be introdoced to the University, the so-catted 3270 protocol. This is the primary mode of communication access to an IBM system. Over the next 12 months this mode will be installed in all principaf administrative offices on both campuses. The means of communications consist of a 3044 channel extender fiber optics link attached to 3274 communications controllers and/or 7171 protocol converters. (If you didn't know yet, IBM specializes in four digit numbers to identify its equipment products.) The latter will allow ASCII type terminals to communicate with the IBM system in full screen mode. This mode of comm~nication will also be used·to facilitate access of the growing number of IBM PC's and XT's to the IBM system . In cases like these, the computer vendor provides standard multiplexors and communications processors that form the network building blocks and the University provides the data transmission facilities between the devices. For the most part, these facilities are conventional twisted-pair or coaxial cables that are installed and maintained by the University. Since the DCA network and all of the devices attached to it also need interconnecting cables. the size of the University owned cable network is rapidly grow1ng. II included welt over 50 miles of cable at last count and we plan to install at least another 25 miles over the nrxt six to 12 months. Next to the DCA network the University is also developing several ETHERnet local area networks (LANs) ETHERnet is based on a multiple access protocol running at a speed of 10 MBPS. II connects both computers and VT 100 compatible terminals through terminal servers and facilitates high speed multiple user access to all computers. The ETHERnet IS the principal communications access to the VAX computers. At present two ETHERnets are in place. one in Bell Hall and one in Furnas Hall. Both are linked via .a fiber optiCS repeater system. The Computing Center will bouse the third ETHERnet which will be joi,ned via a fiber optic C hanges in Academic Computing · Instructional computing and research computing wil~undergo many changes in the next few months. The main issues will be the conversion from the two CDC Cyber computers to the IBM and VAX Cluster, and the associated user orientation and training in a large range of new software, laser printing, and· high performance scientific computing. The lease on our two Control· Data Corporation CYBERs will terminate in July, and the lease on our Ridge Lea headquarters expires soon after. There should be no expectation on the part of anyone that th& CYBER lease can be extended. All the funds ·which currently go toward that lease are committed to pay for the new equipment. Furthermore, there is no space left in the new machine room to house the CYBERs. There is a small benefit in not moving the CYBERs to the Computing Center: there will be no interruption in service for the remainder of the CYBER's lifetime. User conversion to the IBM or VAX machines must take place in two phases: first, preparation of data so that it is transportable; second, installation of the data on the new system. Everyone should be preparing his or her data for transportation now. This is the most difficult and time-consuming part of the conversion. We witt be offering many workshops to assist users with their binary and other internally formatted data. Users with SPSS Save Files and tapes with CDC internally coded data should be most concerned. We have developed a number of tools to simplify the process of moving text files to either of the two machines. For those who plan to. compute on the VAXs, the lransfE)r of data to the new machines is possible now. The IBM system will be available for campus access by March 1. For those who plan to be away during the summer and also move to the IBM �~--------UNIVERSITY COMPUTING S-ERVICES Cluster appears to operate like one large system, the window of time will be very short, computer with many processors which can just three months. . . operate concurrently.

Following this strategy a general plan of action has been formulated for the three-)tear . transition. All existing development projects will be completed between April and July 1986. These were started about two years ago with the aim .of implementing clearly structured systems in data base technology. ~!though the major administrative systems..will contim~e to run on tbe Sperry until earJy 1988, staff effprt will t?e restricted to maintenance and criycal need •changes only. Training in the new IBM MVS operating system and ADA database products will be carried out in the March to May 1986 timeframe and involve UCS staff only. Training in end user tools (i.e. inquil)1 report generator capabilties, and microcomputer data downloading) will follow in Spring 1986. Beginning July 1986, 16 members of the Administrative Computing Staff will be assigned to transition activit1es while five others will be assigned to mandated maintenance. The review and reimplementation of all applications will be completed-by December 1988. To achieve this, user task groups will be formed; they will review. update, and approve functions and features; they will also define data elements and recommend the order to be followed in implementation to the Admimstrallve Computing Advisory Commtllee. The advisory comm1ttee will in turn present llheir recommendations to Vice President Robert J Wagner The replacement of Student Service systems Will beg1h in Spring 1987 with Pre-AdmiSSions. followed in order by Admissions, Student Demographics, Registration, Student Permanent Records, Financial Aid, Student Billings, and Housing. the last to be completed by December 1988. Financial systems will be provided as common applications by SUNY Central The first is expected to be Personnel. followed by Payroll , Budget. and Accounting. The target start of installation is not spec1fied yet; however, all of them must be completed by December t 988 as well. All new applications will be developed using data management mellhodology and on-line full screen capability; together these will provide the University with many benefits Data Management will ensure minimal data . redundancy, eliminate data inconsistency, provide better data Integrity, improve applications integration, reduce program maintenance efforts, 1mprove data security, and permit easier report generation. On-line full screen access to data will provide timely access to consistent information, eliminate lhe large volume of batch reports that are presently needed , invest cohtrol of day-to -day operations in !he departments, and eliminate duplication of data collection. The other planned benefits of the transition · include: (1) the creation of local and State-wide computer networks, (2) the ability to upload and/ or download data between all nodes 1n the network whether local or elsewhere in the State. and (3} access to special services such as laser printing and typesetting, word processing, ·and electronic mail. o This article was pre_pared with contributions from Dennis Henneman Director of Operations James Whitlock,Manager of Data Communications Jay Leavitt Director of Academic Computing Charles Molt, Director of Administrative Computing �the Classics Rock .

US's Department Of Theatre and Danae, Niagara University , O'Youville, and Studio Arena Theatre. People are knock· ing themselves out to supply quality theatre, film. and v1deo in this area ; we have a wealth of talented actors, singers, and dancers What we can do is focus on the performmg arts and 1n effect be a public service to people Interested in those arts. be it tllm , theatre. or v•deo.'' B lossom Cohan from the StudiO Arena Theatre comments, " I think WBFO does a fine JOb and • I think Sound&tage is a good program . Bob is p'robably one of the beSt Interviewers I have ever come across because he's always knowledgeable and aware of whom he's Interviewing and who they are. I bring people mvolved in O\Jr productions to SOundstage to give them exposure and build Interest on the part of the audience."' Listeners may wonder how an aural medium like radio can be successful in presenting._ visual performing arts such as Broadway product•ons and films.

The purpose of his· teachings. says Hendricks. is to "acquaint those who don't know jazz; to enlighten those who know something; and to deepen the interest of those who want to know."

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

The executive budget proposal for 1986-87 pr~sented to the Legislature last Wednesday by Governor Mario M. Cuomo not only ignores UB's request for 103 new academic positions, but also cuts last year's level of funding for salaries by over $700.000 and imposes a h1gher savings factor. both of which would restrict the number of jobs that can be filled. Vice President E.W. Doty told the UB Council Thursday that these proposals. if im plemented by the Legislature, would mean that UB would have to operate with -45 to 50 fewer filled positions than we have righ t now. ~ even after 34 new positions approved in maintenance are factored in. rhe current vacancy rate runs between 45 and 50. meaning a total of 90-100 jobs would have to be left vacant. UB has 3,831 "authorized" positions under the budget.plan. SU Y Central. in addition, will have to cut 177 faculty and 51 support positions sys tem-wide if the Governor's proposal becomes law. It remai ns to be setn whether UB will be given any sha re of these. Finally, Doty said. there is a 52.5 mil· lion system-wide reduction to be distributed to the campuses based on early retirements. ··our share of th i~ is probably S300,000 again in salary dollars and again means more vacant posuion . ·· Cuomo's 1986-87 budget propo~al adds ve little, cuts UB's base While UB's h1ghest priority for 1986-87 wa. additional faculty and staff for programs in engineering and medical education, the Governor drafted his fiScal plan wi~h other priorilies in mind. Doty poanted out. Cuomo identified these in the antroduction to SU Y's portion of the executive budget: I. To augment private sector support for programs thdt directly contribute to shared public and pnvate goals: 2. To identify steps that can be taken to reduce costs or enhance revenues for both regular and hospital operations: 3. To provide staff and support necessary to operate facilities scheduled to open during the year: and 4. To improve the securit y of students and State employees on University campuses. Since the priorities didn't match. the fundi ng didn't either. On the positive s-ide\ Doty reponed to the Council. there is Sl million in unrestricted suppon for basic engineering equi pment U Y-wide: UB's share will probably be S250.()ll0-S300.000. "There is $1.5 mi llion for what is called a research and engineering equipment challenge grant program," Dotycon tinued. Details haven't been spelled out yet but , he said, "the ~eneral idea is that for every 52 of contnbution we get from the outside for engineering or research equipment, $1 UB will have to operate with 45 to 50 fewer filled positions. -E.W. DOTY will be supplied from this fund on a I to 2 matching basis."Tbere is also a full $5.7 million in support for the first-yellr increment of a comprehensive upgrade of SUNY's computer systems. "We at Buffalo have a reasonable share of th at fund .'' the vice president indicated. On the capital side, Doty ou tlined, continued equipment funding is recomm~nded for our various construction pro• jectS. "pretty much as needed and hoped for." including S28.7 million for the fine arts building. "This adds to the S3.3 mil· lion already allocated as plannin$ fund· ing and lrrings the total to $32 million." he no ted. Planning for that building is we ll underway wit h Gwa t~m ey-Siegal of New York City and Scaffidi and Moore of Buffalo having been selected as the architects, he said. Despite its omissions. Do1y said. the State budget is a very large one with ·•a very large commitment to public higher ed ucation by the taxpayers of the State." T he total proposed U B budget of S 156.33 1.500 represents an increase of overS 1.59 million 1985-86, but i;some 56.8 million under the $163. 1 million sought for this campus in the . U:-.IY budget request. Overall. t 1 Governor asked for a 7.5 per cent hike ove r last yea r's State budget to a total S41.3 billion. Here's how the University's requesrs were trimmeO: Where U B had requested S4.4 million in personal service satar) adjustments. it received 52.531 million (thi is the area in which the increased savings come into play). For price increases. UB asked for $783,000 and received · S509.500. Increases >ought fo r supplies and equipment, telephones. and postage were cut sharply. SSO.OOO was similar!! slashed from a SIOO.OOO requested increase for busing services: Only a req uested increase ol $211,800 for library acq uisitions was allowed in full. The physical plant received only about hall of $167.300 requtl.ted for operation of ne" facilities. It was in the area of .. program changes ... however. that UB was most significantly cut. In addition to denying all 103 new academic positions that had been requested and trimming last year's pcrsonal services budget by $714.000. Cuomo's budget plan includes o nly 29 of 46 positions requested for maintenance and operation of new facilities. Five addit<onal positio~s sought in Public afety were included. however. The only other increase in program funding requested by the Governor is an additional$125.000 in operating monies for new facili ties. UB had also sought additional operating funds for: several other areas. • See Budget. page 2 A little money for the region 's fXXXUTlt growth would be .helpful. The budget seems to undermine chances for SUNY to ·be more 'flexible.' -STEVEN SAMPLE -WIUIAM GREINER �.l-r21.1- v--. 11, No. 11 Budget From page 1 W hile Doty sees the si.tuation as limiting .hiring, Provost William Greiner told the Council he views the budget document as freezing out any chance SUNY might have for fiscal'nexibility in its first year Of operations under legislation designed to prOvide more freedom of OJl:C'ration. The tight budget ·•undermines flexibility. ·• Greiner said. · President· S teven B. Sample. while acknowledging that the bud get plan is not as bad as some ot hers of recent memory,''llgreed that it . does spell ~t­ tightenmg here. He hopes U B 1; spared any part of the addi tio nal system-wide reductions since these are supposedly. for .... campuses not ·meeting their enrollment· targets. "We have been stable in enrollments,"the President saitl. Although the "new budget calls for~ reduClion or enrollment in the health sciences here. he indicated, there should be no additiolial cuts in that area because UB has been tradi" -\ . tionally understaffed there. ln fact, Sample expressed concern that Phase II of a three-year plan to achieve stalling parity in the health sciences had been ignored in the Governor's budget propo~al. Twenty-six clinical medical faculty and 23 medical staff had been requested this year toward thai end. Last year, Phase I of the parity effort was not ineluded in the Governqr's plan. either, but lobbying by the Western New York legislative delegation helped secure the necessary funding in the final budget. A si milar legislative program is planned this yea r, Sample said in response to a question from Council Chairman Robe rt Koren . This year, however, top priorit y will110 to restorin~ the redu~tion in base. ·the President'.... said. Clinical medicine, engi nee ring, and research group funding will be the nex t priority, he added. Jn add ilion to the increaseS for clinical medicine, UB had sought four engineering faculty and 20 cngi neeriJ!8 staff (including. some for organized r~search). . The President had alsQ requested stan-up fundiqg for leveraged research groups, expected to become sclf-suppoltin"g o~er ' the nex I several years. Sample called the exclusion or th is funding especially "disappointing." "We have undertaken to .be a part of the rebuilding of this area, .. he said. " We had our heart set on increased support for both engineering and these research development groups which ·offer such. great promise, but no support i_s offered. As a State, we put lots of money into welfare and Medicare, and that's importa nt, but a liule money in eco nomi c development would be appropriaJe." In a move indirectly related to UB, the Governor elsewhere in his budget pro· posed a doubling or fundil\g for the Western New' York Economic Development Corporation. citing the Universitfs relationship to the business community as o ne of the promising elements for rc-co very in the region. S t\•eral Council members suggestedthat UB had been "done-in" budgetarily to the benefit of Stony Brook·. but both Sample and Dot y cautioned against this son of "u -them" approach .to the situation.

The University did not initiate the idea: it simply ·responded. President Steven B. ample said this week. "That doesn't mean we're not enthusiastic abou t the idea; we arc enthusiastic about working with all the local school districts.'' Sample told the UB Council. The President's clarification of U B's role in the matter came in response to recent articles and leiters from civil rights and teachers groups. Opponents of the plan have suggested that the University_ is orchestrating the effort to develop two specialized high schools on campus- one for science and anotheremphasrz:ing crit. ical and analytical thinking. Opponents con tend such schools arc elitist and would siphon money and nonminority students away from existing schools, leaving the traditional schools monetarily -.yeakened and more anfl more black. " We don't tell sc hool districts how to run i.heir sc hools, .. the President went on. "Wesupl?ort their initiatives to help them solve their problems .

By JOSE LAMBIET T he presence at UB of students who secretly moni tor soQte of their professo~ for leftist biases and send th'etr findmgs to a Washington D .C.-based organization called Accuracy in Academia (AlA) has caused a controversy on and ~ff campus si nce last November. · •· AlA is an .organization aimed at · insuring students that they receive accurate and fair information in the Classroom, " declared Its natiOnal president John Lc Boutillier. "The type of teacher we have problems"with is the ooe whQ deviates from the coUrse description, or the one who preaches a certain political ... point of view. Other teachers reward students who agree wit h them and punish studenu who disagree wit~hem. That is ..what we ar~ against. ' added Le Boutillier. " If a profess<?r talks about the greatness of Marxism, he should also mention that Marxism is a corrtplete economic failure , We do not pressure anybody.

Of course. we verify the information and we make sure that the students are telling the truth. Then, we get in touch with the professor in question.

GS·A President Rick Mooney said that the resolution was written before the semester. noted that "'"the only thing that would bother me as a professor is the idea that secret tapes or notes arc being made.

" What is really the problem is thi secrecy garbage. Be open. If one has a problem with a professor, then one should bring it up and have an open discussion about it, n he added. The Student Association assembly passed a similar resolution one month later, after an article in the Buffalo Nell's on December 8, 1985, mentioning the presence of AlA on campus.

Reporter: Do you think that AlA is the answer to the probl<m? JOHN: Newsletters such as the ones AlA puts ·out should help students know what they are getting into. AlA does not want to intim.id"tc people, but to i~form students. Reporter: What do you think about the reaction to AlA?

His argument rehashes the enrichment expo~re to ideas, then about personal usual cliches"a nd sinks to depths of ~t lcctual vulgarity uncommon even from ovcrnment officials. Despite his good intentions. the end-result of Bennett's advocacy of the art s is a ' further weak ening of the appeal o f the humanities to our young students. Therein lie!~ an impouant moral. Most educators don't find jt difficult to ex plain to undergradufiirs why Shakespeare's tragedie s arc worthy objecb o f study. This is how our Secretary of Education chooses to make the case: If you ....·am w hr a corporate ruc wh•t>, how can ycm lt'am ahow nut missing tlu.· ri~ht oppurtuniti~s?

Thus Secretary Bennett fulfills the responsibilities entrusted to his leadership. Perhaps he did not read KinK Lear C!lrefully enough. My initial response to this son of vandalism was to extend Bennett's method of analysis to the rest of the world's great literature. Want to learn about the hazards of sea travel? Read Moby Dick. Want to experience the possible career set-bacb of military service? Read War and Peace. or c;vei'l better. The Iliad. Want to learn how to trash a great poet? Read ..The Lure of Learning." But my contempt for Bennett's reduction of great art to the category of cautionary tales for the young executive soOn gave way to troubled questions abou t the plight of the arts in today's educational institutions. Have we actually reached the ·point wherel'f.he humanities must be offered to our students in this degrading manner'! If so. wouldn\ it be better for them to perish outright than to serve such a debased purpose? Or, is it possible the humanities are suffering because of pseud<Hiefende(s like Mr. Bennett? I believe the latter is the case. N ow more than ever the humanities need capable defenders. Bad news arrives almost every day, it seems. describing the deteriorating state of the arts in our schools. A commissioned study appears in Chronicle of Higher Education which reveals that the number of English majors (never very high) has decli ned nearly three· fold in only 15 years. The same repon nr. lliEiiill'~ :~~~~~~,M·······~~··-~ shows an even sharper drop in majors in.Joreign languages. ~nd implies the im ~inenl extinction of such programs in all but the most prestigious schools.

Here at "Buff Tee h.·· of course. the number of entering freshmen planning to major in the literary arts is almost too infinilesimal to measure. Something must be done. ' We cannot, however. afford to leave the defense of the ans tO State functionaries and institutional officials. for that is only ro worsen the problem. Secretary Bennett's patronizing attitude damns Shakespeare with the faintest possible praise and insures his neglect. What young student is going to bother with Macbeth if all he or she can expect is a warning about "the dangers of overweeni ng ambition'! A bureaucrat's first obligation is to the &tate. and so he will limit his defense of the human ities to their supposed . usefulness within a given social context. He will subordinate the arts to some utilitarian function. such as st rengthening -a citizen's patriotism or polishing an engineer's conve~ation . What he won't do is to present the arts as what they so obviously are - a potent and unpredictable force for change in the world, an exploratory power arising from the human spirit that acknowledges no final allegiance to institutions. authorities, or dogmas. T he trouble with artists (from the official viewpoint) is that they· don't always appear to be very good citizens. They have an irritating way of saying unflattering things about ourselves. our institutions, and our aspirations. They tend to be sceptical of the myths we project to stabilize our societies and validate our behavior. It's no surprise that the most advanced states have found it expedie nt to take action against their greatest poets: Jerusalem against Jeremiah, Athens against Socrates, Rome against Ovid. Florence against Dante. Paris against Voltaire, and Moscow against Solzhenitsyn. James Joyce's reward for showing hos fellow Dubliners their spiritual condition was a lifetime of exile. This perennial conflict between artist and state is quite understandable: for it is in the nature of states (o promote stability, cultivate consensus. and insist on a measure of compliance from their Artists. on the other ·hand, are prone to raise embarrassing questions. cause division of opinion. and generally SJir things up. Writers, in particular. possess a power frightful to\lhe state. Bca·umarchais writes 77Jt Marriage of Fi11aro and helps spark the French Revolution. Harriet Beecher towe "rites Unci~ Tom :r Cahin and galvauizes a nation in opposition to slavery. A wary and susp1cious accommodation is probably tbe best working relationship artists and statesmen can hope to sustain. An Important factor in the decline of the humanities in our educational institutions. then. is the faint· heanedness of some would-be defende111. Our students deserve to know the full range and power of the humanities. the ex tent to which the arts have made us what we are and will make u what we are to become. Our young people are ill-served by apolo~tsts such as ~illiam Bennett who, an their pursuit of relevance. emasculate that power and enslave it to some trivial purpose. They need to be told the truth: that the humanities have the capacity to change them in fundamental ways- and not necessarily· into contented and productive careerists. citizen!~ . thty hope to aitract. Bennett' adulterated version of Shakespearean tragedy insult a great anist and (more imponantly) belittles our tu'dents. Reading Shakespeare or Do toev ky or Kafka "ill not make them more uccessful around the office. Reading the Book of Job or Montaogne's Es arJ "'-ill cenainly not. transform them into better citi1en or busines partners. And. anyone who takes up a novel by Tol>toy or Faulkner in the expectation of "enriching" his or her social i111agc is in for disappointment. In fact. the ans may make them more volaule. less predictable. more ill-at-ease wilh reeeived ideas and dogmas - indeed, may cause a measure of alienation or estrangement. Students may suddenly find their energies re-<lirected and their priorities re-arranged. So be it. Our hunger for art is too deeply· engrained to be eelipsed. The humanities will reestablish thm centrality in our educational systems when we free them from the demeaning roles forced upon them by their instiiutional defenders. And students will be receptive when they are told trutltfully what art is. Those of u.s involved directly in the advancement of the humanities have an obligation to make sure that message is delivered correctly and forcibly .

However, U B · faculty are more satisfied with their salar· ies and teaching loads than were their colleagues across the co unt ry . . Those are s<rme of the conclusioos of UB leaders who !'Ompared the Carnegie · survey with thtir estimations of feelin&£1 on this campus. · • . · . · The Carnegie report fou'nd that there's a pervasive uneasiness among faculty members over the state of academe -and the state or their ta~;EeJs. according to an article in the Dec. 18. 1985 issue of The Chronicle of Higher. £dw·ation. The U B Quality of Campus Life Survey . was conducted by Ytctor Doyno. associate professor of English. and Lester W. Milbrath. director of the Environmental Studies Center and a professor of political science. · ~ In the U B study. "We d!tected a kind of listlessness o r malaise," Milbrath ex plained. "Malaise ·is a good word. Apparently it's not just characteristic of this campus, but is nation-wide. I don' understand it fully, but it's there. "Clearly, many- if not a majority, then a significant minority- feel disenchanted with hig,her education and their ro le in it... · The faculty are disappointed because the universities don't hvc up to their expectations, he said. Milbrath noted that about half of the faculty across the country reported being apprehens-ive about the country's future:. "That says something," he stated. "It's not just a disenchantment with our own institution. or higher education. but with society as a whole. " T he data in the Carnegie ~urvey constitut ed worri somr evidence of dissatisfaction over an apparent lack of ·•community'' at the institutions surveyed. noted Ernest L Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation and former SUNY chancellor. "That's strongly apparent here." M<l· brath agreed. "That was one of our major findings." There are .. mini~ommunities" in the professional schools, but the faculty in the "core" campus really miss the feeling of community, he said . A related question on personal faculty relations would find even a higher percentage of UB faculty disSatisfied than was true nation-wide, in his opinion. Milbrath also agreed that most facu lty members feel they don't have an innuence on their institution's policies. Boyer suggested that institution need to invest in the .. human capital" on cam~ pus, spending more money on things such as classroom in no at ion and professional traveL ·"These were strong points here." Mil ~ brath sfi id. "There's not sufficient oppor· Iunity ror rrofessio nal development. .. Lack o secretarial help and travel money were prominent concerns at UB. Faculty feel they arc hampered by lillie frustrations that accumulate into an overwhelming package. Milbrath foun~ . About half of the faculty surveyed tn the Carnegie study said their institution has serious financial problems, and faculty here would agree with that. Milbrath said . When the U B survey was sent out in early 1984, financial problems here were severe he noted . There was much disenchant~ent as well as severe anger with the SUlte Division of Budget. "It has improwed since then , but l~t's not kid ourselves, " he said. "We don) have the help we need." Milbrath referred again to secretarial suppon and travel money. University travel money doesn '1 even cover a quarter of what is needed if a faculty member wants to be professionally active, he maintains. It can be done on a grant, but in some areas, it's nearly impossible to get a grant. B faculty would also agree with faculty U on the state or their libraries, said Claude Welch, chair· oation~wide man of the Faculty Senate. In the Carne· gie survey, about 38 per cent of faculty at research universities say their libraries are the same as they wer~ five years ago. and 26 per cent say they're worse. The library situation was bad here five years ago because of State funding for· mulas. ow, faculty would say it's no bener or is worse because parts of the ·libraries. such as subscriptions to journals that were canceled, have been lost. Welch said. One area where U B opi nion would differ from that nation-wide is in the area of salaries, Milbrath said. About 56 per cent of fat:ulty at research universities rated their salaries fair br poor. "We had few complaints about salary here." Milbrath said. " It's beller here than nation-wide. " Teaching load was also perceived as beuer here than as renected in the Carnegie study, he noted.

Most false alarms are trig~ gered at the pull boxes. However, the Amherst fire alarm office: which dispatches the various volunteer fire companies in the area. will act immeidately to any repon of a fire .it receives over t,he telephone. Until recently, the fire al8rm system on the Am her t Camp us had been connected directly to the Amherst fire alarm office. If the office received an alarm from a pull box. it first would notify UB's Public Safety. Public Safety would then deter- mine if there was. a real fire and. in tufn, notify the alarm office. Now, the delay will be handled at UB, Hunt said. The alarm office asked that the pull boxes be connected directly to Public Safety. The UB officers will check out an alarm, then notify the Amherst alarm office. Without the delay, Getzvilie. the volunteer fire company that covers the Amherst Campus, would be answer-ing more than 100 calls a year if it responded to everv false alarm. Hunt said.

This is the first time in a generation that the shorts have been available in 35nun, allowing Chaplin's comic genius to be rediscovered in a way impossible until now. Film Historian Kevin Brownlow says: "To call this the Coup of the Century r:nay, even in filmcollecting terms, sound an unpardonable exaggeration. But what can compare with it? ... Collectors had hailed the discovery of the occasional lost Keysto ne comedy in which Chaplin played, but nobody had the slightest idea that somewhere in England, somewhere in France, and somewhere in the United States lay three separate treasure troves of silent film that would. for the fU"st time, reveal the working methods of the greatest si ngle figure of the cinema. '" This retrospective was mounted by Kino International Corporation, and was launched on June 10, 1984 at Landmark's NuAn Theatre in Los Angeles and on July 3, 1984 in New York as a nine-week attraction at Joseph Papp's Public Theatre. In addition to Los Angeles and New York , the Chaplin retrospective has played at the Castro TheaHe in San Francisco, the Neptune in Seattle, the Brattle in Cambridge, the Walker An Center in Minneapolis, and 20 other cities during the fall and winter of 1984-1985. q 0 ~· .

The April 5 ce remony will honor Wil· lard A. Genrich. cha ncellor emeritus of the State Board of Regents and a mef'(lber of the board (the guiding agency for the State"s Ed.ucation Department) for 12 yea rs. For II years prior to that. Genrich was an unsalaried director of the Ne\\ York State Higher Education Assistance Corporation. among other public service activities. Genrich is being honored for his "'devotion to excellence ... [which] has had a profound impact on stude nts at all levels of education in this State and even beyond .'" Under his di rection, New York State took a leadershi p role in addressing second ary school deficiencies which have plagued the nation and were the su bject of an explosion of reports earlier in the 1980s. In the wake of the result ing Regents• Action Plan of 1984. the State has begun workirig toward raisiog the sta nda rds of st ud ent competency, improving teac her effe•ctive ness. and strengthening stud ent testing. The plan is considered the most comprehensive one for the improve ment of elementary and seco ndary education in the nation. Equally far reaching improvements have been realized for New York's post-secondary education during Genrich 's tenure, according to the nominatio n for his honorary degree. Among these strides are increased access to college for studenb with limited financial capacities. financial aid for part-time t udents. improved doctoral program~ as a result of a State-wide review of such programs. and an ex t'ensivc investigation of illegal medical practice related to fraudu iCnt credentials. A special pro· gram has also been implemented to pro· vide financial incentives to qualified students who enroll in teacher education curricuht and agree to t.each in the State after completing their educations- this ~a:~~e~~~\~ ~e~~~~:~~ ~:e ~:~~ece and A lawyer by training. Mr. Genrich received both hjs Paccala urcate and law degrees at the private Univers.ity of Buffalo. Being honored at May commencements here are: · Dr: Brian MacMahon (Doctor of Science). considered to be the founder of epidemiology. His resea rch led to metho· dological ad vances in the study of many di sease<. including Hodgkin's Disease and breast cancer, and has set the course of ·expansion of the entire field. Dr. MacMahon is Prof$uo r of Epidemiol· · ogy at Harvard. Dr. John Brooks Slaughter (Doctor of Science), chancellor of the University of Maryland at !=ollege Park. Before accepting the Maryland . post in 1982, Dr. Slaughter was director of the National Science Foundation, where he regulated and upheld standards for scientific research and education. He is committed to expanding minority participation in the sciences. D Back to the books -to-___ Sludentaln drop· lldd .....

JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI he describes herself as "consultative" by instinct; a perso n who wants "'in put" and likes to know the "possi bilit ics" before making a decision. S he is also a firm believer in 1he " Pygmalion effect," meaning th at she feels if you let people know that you ljelieve· in their a bility to do a good job. they often perform according to your expectations. The University Libraries have changed guard . In troducing Barbarli' Von Wahlde, formerly .acting associate direc- • S tor for public services' and 4l$sociate direc. tor for tet hn ical·services at the University · of Michigan. now director of the UB Libraries. Von Wahlde. who arrived in Buffalo during· a deep freeze earlier thi~ mon\h \ but is willing tp_''take it on faith .. that the area has more to offe r than falling temperatures. seems well equipped profe>Sionally and experientially for her new post. Besides her five-year tenure at Michigan. during the past 20 years she has worked at Yale as staff development coordinato r and sr.ecial assistant to its acting university hbrarian; as associate director f..or technical processes at the niversity of West Florida: as head of the Catalog Depanment at the University of Southern Mississippi. and as a bibliographic con trot consultant at the Universi ty of Maine. She also has been an assistant documents librarian at Indiana Universi ty. where She received her undergraduate degree (majoring in education; history and English) and her M.A. in library ~ciencc:, and was a reference librarian in a public library in Bloomington. By her own admission . her expertise and career adva ncem ent have not been the exclusive result of natural talent; staff development prOgrams and mcntoring have played impo nant roles in her progression in a profession, that, ironically, is dominated by females. but where most senior level positions are typically .occupied by males. , The development programs (to which she applied) that have had the mos t significant impact on her career include a 1974-75 management intern program sponsored by the Library Resources Cou ncil in which she worked at the U niversity of Tennessee at Knoxville; a 198384 program sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries/ Office of Man- agement Studies Cons ultant Training. and a Senior Fellow Program held at UCLA last summer. 11te programs were · designed to "train people ' who have admi nist rative talent and give them a closer understandin~ of. admi nistration through working wuh a director or a group of associa\e directors," s he explains. ~ on Wahlde was one of the lirst live participants in the UCLA program. which essen tially studied issues of concern to library administrators, enabling panicipants to be better groomed, so to speak. for higher level duties. B ecause Von Wahlde has been mentored formally and informally by both men and women, she feels uncomfonable with the notion that she- the lirst female director of the University Libraries- should focus on mentoring other women. altho ugh she knows that there are at least two groups of female library administrators who feel strongly about this issue. 14 1 have a divided opi ni on on il," she admits. '' I've known some fema les who are terrific at supJ.>otling and encoura(ting women and givmg them insights mto what it means to be an administrator. And that's helpful: I like that and I th ink it's good. But I'm not sure that it should be so exclusive." As she pursues lhe goals which she has already formulated . Von Wahlde says her administrative style will be "open." " I truly believe that people have good id eas. and tbe more you can learn from others the better. A person is often limited by his or her own experiences and perspectives. Therefore, ~think there's a real value to get comments from others. Thal will be my style in the Libraries. working both internall y and externally. " Von Wah lde guesses th at s he will eventually . gather a small group of special advisors composed of four to ten people from whom she plans to solici t opinions regularly. A willingness to communicate with others has "always been my style." she notes, one that was fostered by previous employers. From a pragmatic perspective. she finds it work.s. .. It's easier for peopl; to understand what is going on in terms of directions and decisions. They may not like what's happening, but they can't say they don' know why they are doing a particular thing. I lind people work better with more knowledge about what you are trying to achieve. That's why it is important to have well articulated and communicated goals." t was not difficult for UB's newest directo r to formulate at least initial goa ls. The intcrvie~ process she experienced here gave her a clear understanding abou t what was expected from her f.y the campus community in general and the Libraries staff in particular. One thing is certain: She will move wi th alacrity to "reaffirm " the Libraries' place and role on campus, at the sa me time making sure that users know the Libraries are there to serve t hei r needs. Michigan's libraries. she relates, are " highly regarded" and are "viewed as cenlral to the role of faculty and students I along with teaching and research. ~ Faculty and students expect a certain . level of quality there and are disappointed if you do not meet their needs. They are often demanding and look for services that other libraries arc only beginning to think about offering." The suppon given to Michigan's libraries was not merely 'lip service, however, but was b~ ed by funding. "It wasnTalways necessarily easy to get money. because there were other competitors for reso urces." (Sound familiar?) .. But there was a tr.ue respect and acknowledgeme.nt of the libraries from the whole uni versity. Consequently. you did not have to do a great deal of selli ng to administration there ... s he notes. This leads to Von Wahld e's tw~ other aniculated goals: to lind out if"resource~ are adequate for the Libraries to su ppori the University in the manner faculty and students de ire." and to ensu re that the Libraries are "moving in a timely. and appropriate fashio n with rega rd to the goals of the entire University." Parallel goals are necessary. she insists, si nce both the University and the Libcaries can profit from the "synergy" that can be developed. In attempt ing""l'd achieve her seCo nd goal, the new director plans to meet with ... librarians who work ciQSely with facu lty ,:.. • a nd students. " We don't have to have eve ry book ever published in th is building,"she elab- .. o rates, " but we must guarantee that users · have at least easy access through groups w\ have reciprocal relationships with ,·· sucft as the Research Libraries Group, Inc. ( RLG ). udging from her background 'and work experience, Vqn Wa hlde1seems ready to tackle her new job. In her former position. for insta nce, she is credited with helping to implement an innovative cataloging program; supervisi ng the installation of an au tomated acq uisitions system~ administering and s uppo rting a new preservations program: reorganizing the libraries' technical services area to use RLIN 11. an automated informat ion retrieval system used by RLG , a nd establishing a locator service. a .. public service" point in technical services to help users locate in-process materials. to name a few accom plish ment s. Von Wahlde also knows the pressures involved in working at a nationally recognized research institution. one considered the "premier" university oft he state syste m in Michigan and o ne touted by the business and financial comm unity for its posi tive im pact on the state. Michigan. in short , is where U8 wan IS to be in the next decade o r two. UB's new director of University Libraries stands waiting to help us get there. 0 J Spectrum seeks fiscal aid from student government By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ht Spectrum. the UB student T newspaper that has prided itself on its mdependence from student governments, is planning to give up its financial independence in return for fiscal help from the Undergraduate Student Association (SA). the Graduate Student Association (GSA), and Sub-Board I.

The parties involved have come up with a three-year plan. SA and GSA have indicated they will support an increase in the mandatory tu~ent fee ofSI per person each semester for a minimum of three years to help the paper. SA will send the question to a referendu·m on March 12. 13. and 14.

" Who knows? Maybe lhen it can be the paper it should be," he said. If anyone has questions about the agreement or referendum. he added, The Spectrum staff would like to answer them. T he Offices of Student Affairs and Finance and Management are invol ved in the agreement because representatives of those offices meet about twice a year with organizations that have financial operations on campus. such as The Spectrum, IRCB. and the Schussmeisters Ski Club. Black said. The two offices try to keep track of these organizations since they use State facilities. B It has been the University's stand that this is a student organization problem, not a University problem, Black said. It was left up to the !ijude'lS to work out a plan. The office replesentatives will simply help monitor it. Whetherthe plan materialize$ depends on a number of factors, including Lhe outcome of the referendum, he added. 0 �.1.-y2J,1Volullle 17, No.11 this tbe socially powwlels group in 19dlcentury IOCiely.lllteme areas. body natching was so prewlent that many peupen and str.ea were acutely awwe that burial in potter's fields (paupen' graveyards) was a mockery whenever anatomy eluscs were in session at nearby medical schools.

But body snatching, as it was called, was indeed engaged in from time to time by both medical tudents and physicians in those days. The early days of medicine in Buffalo are no exception. Contrasting stark.ly with today's orderly and respectful methods of methods of embalming did not increase anatomical knowledge because "mutilation" of the dead was forbidden.

Wh11e today's medical schools rely on body donation (the willing of one's body after death) and . the use of unclaimed bodies from public morgues, yesteryear's methods ranged from the use of bodies of executed criminals and Black slaves, to the once-thriving business of grave- and continued into the modem period.

The students added further pressure by publicly accusing their professors of inactivity or par.;imony when supplies were low. So physicians met their demand for specimens by grave-robbing. At first, the physicians and their apprentices themselves robbed 1he lt would be impossible to imagine medicine being taught today without medical students learning human anatomy through dissection or cadavers. Dissection is a basic discipline nf medicine, and the earliest to which a medical student is exposed. Nevertheless, untill846,the medical schools at Yale. Jeffer.an. Columbia. and the University of Pennsylvania conferred degrees without anatomy courses. In the misty ages before recorded body snatchers, ~urrectionist .sack'em-up men, and bogey men. Clever gangs could resurrect up to 400 corpses a year, bringing in 1500 guineas or S26,000 (in 1985 dollar.;) a year at a rateof$69 a body. Since more was paid for unburied bodies. grave robbers always carefully watched siCk, penniless, and homeless people unm they died . They also joined up with unscrupulous undertakers, who substituted heavy objects in the caskets, and split the fee. even set traps and spring guns. Demand became so great the resur~ rectionist gangs organized into unlicensed guilds that roamed the countryside on dark nigh!$. When the full moon shone, they either stayed home or drastk themselves into a stupor in the taverns. Some guilds even had monopolies on cenain cemeteries. This led to quarrels and even gang wars, including desecration of coffins. vandalizing of physicians' laboratories. violence, and police investigations. By Bruce S.

Dr. Hunter's servant niet the "body" guards in the ale house and fmally convinced them to switch stone for the body for the exorbitant {in 1783) price of $2,500. Thus the mortal remains of Charles O'Brien were conveyed to the doctor's home in the middle or the night for dissection.

With the relatives in an inebriated stupor. the loyal medical students lifted the giant's coffin onto a detached door and triumphantly marched out before the enraged relatives discovered the act.

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

The Senate also requested that the vice provost for undergr..tduate education. currently James Bunn, report regularly to the cnate's Educati onal Programs and Policy Committee on the progress of the college. The vice provost is to pay special attention to a list ot questions and con· cerns submitted by that committee. Now that the Faculty Senate has endorsed the plan, it will go to the President and provo!!.t. Bunn said. tmplemcn· tat ion will start in the fall of 1986. but, because of the complexity of the plan. different parts v. ill be implemented at diffcrcnt time~ . Thoma.) E. Head rieL . chai rma11 of the Educational l'rogram;, and Policy Committce that •tudied the proposal for the undergraduate college. outlined ho'' h~: think• the college "ill develop. Headrick said he sees the VIce provost for undergraduate ed.ucatio~ and the three deans of the Arts and Sctencc. taking the lead for developing the new entity. After that. senior faculty member~ would be enlisted to build a new curriculum. It will be a year before the fruits of that are seen, Headrick predicted. By the full of 1987. there should be a freshman class who will be enjoying a changed curriculum. Whether space can be found for a ccntral location for the college or whether something nc" would haYe to be built can be looked at in the next year or s.c. Headrick said. Another aspect of ' the college that co uld be stud1ed simultaneously would T be the problem of undergraduat e advisement. Headrick noted that since there are only about 13 advisors for about IJ.OOO students now, a solution will require some budgetary input. • H eadrick's committee summarized the plans for the college and outlined some areas of concern that the vice provost for undergraduate education has been asked to pay special attention to. These are: • What specific steps are planned to ~~u~ve;;;;e purpose of the college_ to the • What plans exist to find a central location for the college? • What changes arc planned in advisement? • What mech~tnisms wiU ensure that majors and minors programs won't be sacrificed for non-major programs? • How will college fellows, the core facult~ of the collcget be attracted and recruited" • What plans exis t to develop mot ivation and faculty commitment to the college? • A fund of $2 SO.OOO per year of ~·wa lking around money" will be crucial ~ct~~:;:~Y1 ~~:;~~n~~~~~~i\j ;;:~rf:;~~~ come from? • What kind of academic accounting ~ys tem is planned? How can the college a\ oid gett1ng ca.ught up in th e red Jape of I ·1.E.s? • How will the divided respo~sibilitics of faculty affect discretionary increases, reco mmendations for sabbatical leaves, - accCsj to secretarial support, and other similar matters? · D uring the discussion at the Faculty Senate meeting, one sena tor asked how this college could work while it seems general education has failed. Although the general education committee worked hard , the problem was that they were told to descnbe a curriculum. but weren't the faculty who would deliver it. answered Provost William Greiner. In the undergraduate college, a core . faculty -would not only develop the idea for a new curricull!m. but would develop the actual courses and teach them. he said. The core faculty is one of the key group• for the undergradua te college, he sa id . The others are the Council of Deans and the Faculty Senate with its Educational Programs and Policy Committee. "If the egroups don't buy into the idea, the college won't ny." Greiner said. Cah in Ritchie. professor of chemistry, argued that the draft proposal for the college is so sketchy that . there ·was nothing for the se nate to vote on. The administration could simply appoint a group of faculty members to work on a curriculum without approval from the Faculty Senate. What d oo med general education was that faculty members co.uldn't agree on what co nstitutes a ~>whole person" or what was needed for a liberal education, Ritchie said. "I don) think you've addressed the ba~ic problem, .. he said. . Hunn agreed that tht!re are few details in the draft since it is merely an enabling document. Appointing a committee to work on curriculum woUldn't solve the problems of undergraduate education because it is only. one aspect of undergraduate educa- tion. he said. There should be unity in undergraduate education. · For example. finding a location isn't merely a matter of finding a big con,tainer - for the college, Bunn said. It's finding a central location where there can be unified su pport services so students sec a seamless web of servlc.es. Presiden t Steven Sample commcntdd that while he personall~ would have preferred an arts and sciences college, he accepted· the facul ty's decision not to go that route. But he said h~ would be disappointed. even worried, if there was no undergraduate college. It's important for U B as a research university to have a stron'g program in "liberal, integral ) 'whole person' education," Sample noted. In other business: • The Facu lt y Senate Executive Committee sen t to the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee the I!!SUe of who. other than rcgi~1.ercd students. is allowed to attend classes. The committee is to have a report by the first week in February. · Dennis Malone, professor of electrical . and computer engineering. noted that there is a rule that instructors may eject a diSruptive person. . But the real question is what right an instructor has to know who is attending his class. he said . And a broader issue is whct!>er ab administrator ha>the right to attend a class unannounced . Malone said he can't find guidelines on th ose issues. It was reported recently that some student~ here have been secretly taw recording professors and reporting to Accuracy in Academia, a national group that looks for liberal bias. 0 �December 12, 11185 Volume 17, No. 15 Dry chri_ stmas?

Langway; Nature is always erratic By JILL-MARIE ANOIA A vo lcanic eruption and deadly mudslide in Colombi:r. earthquakes in Mexico, hurricanes battering the east coast of the U.S. and appearing out of season, a rccord~breaking amount of rainfall in ovember here - these natural even ts and other> have claimed headlines in tbe news lately. . That may give you the impression that Molher ature is getting increasingly hostile and subjecting the earth to one brutal di;aster after another,'but that's just not so, according to Chestu Langway, c'1lairman of B's Department of Geo/ogicul Sciences. · "It's just fortuitous. The cahh is puis... ing, and we can predict climate only on the basis of hinorical averages.'' Langway explained ... But eve~verage is the sum of all deviations frorri titat average." ·- It may seem that you:re hearing a lot about volcanoes. hurricanes and earthquake lately. bUt these events arc not indicators of any abnormality. Accord· ing to Langway. they are wuhin an expected range of deviation from global average and are not indicat~of any 1hrcatening change. ..

Since that time. climate has llecn ~ warming globally. However. Lan11way adds. in the la.~t 100 years the earth ha' been in a period of global coo.ling. "But again. we're talking a\·eragc!; that doesn't mean it won~ be hot as hell in Lo~ Angeles next S1.Jmmcr," he noted . ' Langway predicts a slight decrease in tsP)pcrature world-wide over the next 20 to 25 year. and then, near the year2050. a gradual increase. "T!Jis·is the tren,d indicate<f by ice core ~,;,ludi!S . but that doesn't mean that there won't be volcanoes. canhquakel'l . mud>lides. and the like betw~n now and then:· Langway added.

Approximately 30 inches of loose snow that had accumu· /ated on top of frozen Lake Erie was whipped uwny by heavy winds. cau>ing heavy accumulation· and drifting in the city . .. It was a combination of several unusual thmg:. that happened at onc-e." Langwav offered. Langway also insi~ted that the storm was not as unusuul as many believe. Two years later there was a worse storm in Bo>ton. he notes, leaving 15 feet of snow • at Logan Airport. "Here's what I see happening - every 'new~ station in the country takes note of weather item> when they happen.in Buffalo ," Langway said. "Everywhere in the country Buffalo seems to represent a 200to JOO-mile radius - no one knows Tonawanda or Alden. but thev all know Buffalo." He also offered a per>pecthc on a more cmrrent event - the mudslidc in Colom· bia. He notes that the natives must have known of past mudslides in the area and have had warning that the nearby volcano was entering a period of ~ctivity. 8 Dr. Perry gives UB his Shakespeare and music collections .

But part of my t rai n ing as an histo ri an invo lved reading official d ocume nts of the Royal Prussian bureaucracy and this enab les me to understa nd most of the S tate's ''clarification·· document. As a se rvice. the refor-e, I p.£W)ose to tra nslate the State's "claritrcation" into English . .IL is too lengthy to tran!'l late all of it, so I will trans late three examples and the reader can then U!:oe the same technique for the rest of the document. 1 TENURE. The State's • "clarification" says: "Even in its initial dem::mds the S tate never sought the .abolition of tenu re or renewable tenu re. The S tate did seek to·c>tablish periodic peer evaluatio n for tenured facu lty. In this rega rd, tenured faculty arc the only group of employees in the S tate servi_ce who are not already eva lua ted o n a system wide basis . . .. [we! dropped this demand months ago. Translator 's Note: In tra nslating this, the key thing to u ndersta nd is tha t the State wanted u~ to retain the word "tenu re." But it also wanted to be abi\, to fir£• faculty .members. even after they had achie,ed tenure status. To quote from the State's initial written demand (a pho tocopy or the original is available from UU P's Albany office. upon request). what the State wanted was that .. a system of monitoring and periodic peer and superYiisory evaluation of performance of those faculty and staff with con tinuing or permanent appointment must be adopted. A procedure for the rtmo\'al or those mem be"' of the faculty and Stafr who are consistently found to be performing wMatisfm1orily shou ld be included as an in tegral part of the process" (emphasis supplied}. From thi s h is evident they mean ··until you arc fired because a supervisor thinks vou are unsatisfactorv. •• • O\\>, the translmiOn of th is pan of the State 's ..clarification": .. We never C\er wanted to destroy ten ure. People can still have tenure and all we want is to be able to remm•e them if we don't like them. That happe ns in other State agencies [like the highw8)' maintenance crews) so why shouldn't 11 happen to pro fessors? Besides. we .save up thi!'l 1dea [we just didn't tell you about it]." Slwrt translation: .. \ Ve never attacked 'tenure' and now we've >topped." SALARY MINIMUMS. Tfie • "clarification"' says: ..... . For the first time the State has offered to raise the calendar year alary minimums of the professional ranks and librarian~ to 2 the calendar yeq,5- minimums of the facult y.. .(<:alendar year minimums will be reduced by- 16.7% for academic year pro fessional obligations)." Trans/a/or S Nore: We need to kn ow • w~iit. 'he current minimum (usually "starting") sa laries are in SUNY, for which we turn to article 20.2. subs~ction (e. I) of our contract. For a n · assi stant professor it is S 13,625; · or a PR-J or an assistant libr rian i is $11 .445. To put. this i t ivc, the mQst recent survey of startmg sglaries for newly gre:duated college · Students sho ws that they average · approximately $21 ,000 with a BA , $26.000 with an MA , and $30.000 wilh a Ph.

( I d id not incl ude t he part a bo ut how the new minimum starting salary for everybody in SUN Y would then be 1/ 3 lower than the average starti ng sa laries of newly gtad uated stud ent s wit h a bachelor's degree, beca use that was my point and was not me nt io ned in the State's "clarification. '1 " The State isn 't against tenure; it just wants to get rid of professors-like it removes highway workers. RETRENCHMENT. The State'> • "'clarification" says: ~·The S tutc has offered to notify the union in advance of retrenchment units below the level of depa rtment or program and to review at central administration and OE R the app ropriateness or the uniL" The opinrons expressed m ..Vtewpoints" p1eces are those of lhe Wfllers and not necessanty those of the Reponer. We welcome your comments. is fired ." Perhaps better: "anyo~e we want to fire, tenured or not " (see above, #I). Now the 1ranslarion: "!When we fire individuals under our new ' retrenchment' concept (i.e., that an· 'individual' constitutes a 'program1. we w.ill give you a litt.le more advanced warning and if you object, theii ·a higher -level of our bureaucracy will decide whether you or we are right in doing Lhis." When the technique illustrated by these th ree examples is applied to the rest of the State's "clarification" even the rankest amateur should be able to understand everything perfectly clearly. These examples als o show how hard it is for academics to negotiate with the State. ince their use of language is so different from otrrs.

"The Early Assurance Program allowed me to complete the application process at a time when I had a lighter course load than my friends who are just now applying to medical schools," Robenson said. ',' I would hate to have to do what I see my friends going through now... :· For this reason and others. the UB Medical School established the EAP in 1983. To be eligible, students must have at least a 3.5 average and also must have been students at UB from the beginning ·of their college educations. Robertson and two others were the first group of accepted. "The program is a way of expanding our opportunities to undergrads,'' said Peter Nickerson, chair of the dean's committee for the Early Assurance Program and director of pathology. "It's also a way of attracting to the University excellent and outstanding undergrads and developing them in the Medical School program." Peter Ostrow, associate dean for curriculum and academic affairs of the School of Medicine, is responsible for developing and facil itating the EAP. He envisions three goals. The first is related to the students who enroll. The}lAP "enables a student who wants to commit to medicine and is of high quality to gain admission to avoid the negatjve aspects of the pre-med syndrome -grade grubbing, extreme competitiveness~ and so forth. He or she can have a broader undergraduate experience and avoid the hassle and expense of applying to multiple medical schools," he sa ad. The second goal is to benefit the Medical School itself. "We hope to attract the best UB under- ~t udent s ~~~~·rf~~~~~';.'~i~~:~;~~~ ~~~~":~~~?;~ involv'io assisJing a Medical School faculty member on a research project. L Students are paid for this su mmeni me work. Du ring the year prior to beginning medical studies, stude nts in the program become involved in a clinical preceptorship program. For one afternoon every other week, they wo rk with a d octor in the com munity. This semester the students are obs.ervl.ng the work of a genera\ surgeon, an expe rie nce Robertson has enjoyed. "One of the best parts is that I had the opponunity to be at a surgery.! scrubbed and the whole bit: I was right there next to the doctor," he recalls. " It was a hiatal hernia O{Jtration and it was a greatopportunity to sec some of the anatomy. t> The Early Assurance Comtllittee is now developing an advisor sys tem to assist students in making undcr~raduate course choices. "It will be a cross-campus advisory system consisting of a group of interested faculty who will interact wi th stud ents and offer guidance," Ostrow explained. "The program encourages pre-med students to take a wide variety of courses and have a broad range o( study at the undergraduate level." T he program has innuenced the courses RobertSon has selected since his acceptance. ~This semester for an elective I probably would have chosen a science course if I hadn't been accepted to med school, but instead I decided to take a political science course .... Next semester I plan to take two classes outside the sciences, .. he noted. ... Coursewise I'm not as focused on math and science as my friends. I've been taiUng other things that arc also important in. being a doctor, courses that will help me to relate to patients as people." Kathleen Bethin, one of seven UB undergrads accepted into the prograiJI in May, agrees tbat EAP iu positive innuence on her undergraduate course selections. . " In the past I chose courses with the thought 'this would look good to get into medical school.' Now I'm taking courses that interest me ,"' she noted. ~Nex t semester I'd like to take German and maybe even computer science .... Ostrow has not been able to specifically measure the advantages and d isadvantages wruch may be associated with the program because it has such • slion history. But he is able to predict what some of those might be. On the positive side, he notes that lbese students will have a "head sta n ." "On th e day they .enter the school they Wil l have already had a clinical preceptorship which will acquaint them with sqme of the faculi y, they will know [he campus, and they will have had a cou~le of relatively streS$-(ree years," he srud. As for negative as~ts, O~t row cautions th at the administrators of EAP must be careful to ensure tbat enrolling students are nOt prematurely closing out their o ptions. There are ma ny choices avai!able to an undergrad other tban • med1cal school- he notes. The balance. however, is extremely positive, Ostrow said. "'I think the instances where a siUdent in the program will miss out on becomin~ a rock and roll si nger or an a nthropologast or somet hi ng else will be rare ... Will ea rly admissio n prom~t accepted students to slack off in the ar pre-med studies? Bethin notes that the program has si mply substituted her reason fo r performing well. "Being in the program has not a ffected my perfo rm ance in school, .. she said. "Before I got in I was t rying to keep up my grades to get into medical school. Now I try hard because I have a purpose." The deadline for applications to the next round of acceptances to the Early Assurance Program (for September 1987 Medical School entrance) is Feb. I. Applications are available in the Medical School Admission Office, 138 Farber, and in the Undergraduate Academic Advising office, 106 Nonon. For students interested in o ptometry. a new program has been established in cooperation with the SUNY College of Optometry in New York City. Interested freshmen a nd inco m ing stud ents accep ted into this acce lerated program can at tend three years of school at UB to meet undergraduate require ments and then attend SUNY Optometry to complete the seven-year program. Students can choose a variety of undergraduate majors, includirig the special major option.

He hosted a var· tety of JBU programs for the next four years and in February 1981 suggested to FM88 Program Director David Benders that the station add a Reggae program . One hadn't existed in Buffalo since around 1974. " At the tJme 1 came to WBFO , there were no Reggae programs in Bullalo; the only Reggae commg over the ai rwaves was from Toronto Jamaica and Canada are both part of the United Ktngdom . so It was easier for Jama1cans to travel to other U.K. countries to settle down. England and Toronto both have a good-sized Caribbean population.'' Paul expl8ins. He started to build a collection of his own albums that he'd play for Reggae listeners. He remembers: " It was sort of WBIJd - I dtdn't have an extensive hbrary as I should have, so at first it was ki nd of shoe-string . I started buying as many Reggae albums as I could afford. and broad· ened my collection. I tried to keep a high level of listenership so I played a variety of artists." H e currently plays from a collection that Includes over 700 albums, mostly his own. with the remamder from WBFO's library. The collection ranges from Bob Marley to the Heptones, and it mcludes artists from the roots of Reggae. MONDAYS AT NOON Paul Dean brings special touch to this area's premi_er Reggae program . "The rOots are pretty strong," Paul says. "English Rhythm and Blues (R&B) artists picked up on Jamaican Ska (a jazz/R&B evolved style). They did some strange tunes, including a theme tor a 1965 James Bond movie. The style began toevolvewtth a pretty strong beat and some good Iynes. and was called Rock Steady. Then Reggae evolved from Rock Steady and Ska •· Ska developed when Jamaican mustc1ans heard Ame.can (R&B from Miami radio and stat1ons 10 New Orleans At the sameume Elv1s Presley emerged on the Amencan scene in 1956, Jamaicans began lis· tenlng to Ska.

Rock Stead~ evQived when James Brown distinguiShed a style 'll •th an upbeat tempo w1th electric bass and guitar wh-ich superseded the "chug-a-lug" horn sound of Ska. In 1966, Alton Ellis set the pattern with his release. "Rock Steady." By then, Bob Marley and the Wailers had scored their first hits with "Judge Not" (1961) and ..Simmer Down" (1964) . "Simmer Oown" wa!l released on Chris Blackwell's Island label, a record1ng companv that would brmg Reggae to the Amencan public " The Island label deftn1tely helped 1o "bnng Reggae to the attentiOn of America. Other labels that were mfluenttal were Studio One and Tro1an Records," .recalls Paul "ArtiSts like Bob Marley, Burnmg Spear. and Toots and the Maytals were on the Island label. Alter the Wailers broke up, Peter Tosh went to Columbia. But basically, it was the Island label that got Reggae Into American markets." Paul comments. T he term Reggae was presumably fi(St heard in 1968on a disc by the Maytals, " Do tM Reggay." Then Ska's shuffle became syncopated. and the electric bass and guitar remamed promment as on Rock Steady style releases .

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

Jr. Now ho nored as ont of - 1f not the- greatest civil rights advocates in American his tory. as well as a noted clergyman and orator, he has even been commemorated in the Amer~can calendar, his birthday being celebrated as arc those of our most revered presidents. WashinglOn and Lincoln. · This official stamp of approval helps to numb the memory of the reality of Kmg's . struggle for justice: the hatred activated in res poW to his civil rights demo nstrations; h-iS'IP'rests, and his dark: days in the Birmingham J3~ is march for equal housing in the streets of Chicago. where he was stoned and spat upon: the death threats against him and his family; the FBI's investigation of his personal life and J. Edgar Hoover's relentless attempts to discredit him: his struggle to maintain the ,strategy of nonviole nce, especially in the late r yea rs when more -rad ical"' activists scorned it: t he heated op position to his stand on the Vietnam War. and, of f~~~~e. his assassination in Memphis in In the course of his career. during which he was called everything from a communist to the most unprintable of racist epithets. King maintained his vision of justice and stuck by his nonviolent strategy, even when he contended with violence in its ugliest forms: the nonrational hatred of mobs and the insidious racism of those sworn to uphold the law. What sustains a man through such ordeals? What gives his actions and speech a consistency that defies the overwhelming variety of challenges to his efforts? B erkley B. Eddins, Ph.D., sees in King's wr itings and .. actions a foundation rooted in the tenets of natural law and critical liberalism. A full professor of philosophy at UB since 1971. Eddins has specialized in studies on natural law and moral philosophy and has -published articles on the Black American experience and Afro-American philosophy. His most recent presentation was made at Emory University in March at the twelfth annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP) for a special symposium on "Martin Luther Ki ng J r. as Philosopher: Theory and Practice" sponsored by Emory and Martin Lu the r King Jr. Ce nter for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. Eddi ns was one of three members of a panel for which Coretta Scott King served as commentator. The other presenters were Walter G. Mueld er, dean emeritus of the School of Theology at Boston University, and William R. Jones, professor of religion and director of Black Studies at Florida State University. Eddins' paper. titled "Natural Law in the Philosophy of Martin Luther King and Its Implications for Social Action, was meant to, in his words, ...examine and expose Dr. King's doctrine of natural law and compare it with the classical exposition of natural law coming out of St. Thomas and my own interpretation based on the theory of John Wild. Wh ill: much is known abou l King's civil rights activi ties, there has not been 00 00 ~A RTIN L UTHER KING JR , ' :.:J an emphasis on his philosop~ical beliefs. and the way in which those beliefs led to - and justified - his social action. The Emory symposium was one of the first to look at King primarily as a philosopher. "Most debate (about King's activities) centers on the relevance of his social policy and the wisdom of his doctrine of nonviolence as che main strategy for black people.~ Eddins explained . "What I hope to do is to establish the unitrof Dr. King's philosophy so that he is to be thought of as a social philosopher in the mainstream of American philosophy. ~ E ddins ponrays King as a man who thought deeply about the justification for his actions. and not simply as a tactician. although. Eddins concedes, .. Dr. King was a great tactician ... "Most people who 'do' social philosophy do it piecemeal, Ed dins com- . mcnted. "They talk about rights. justice, and all that, but they do not concern themselves with fou ndations: dither, they concern themselves with arranging things so that people can hold each other at bay. We don't see that in Dr. Kin~. He takes very seriously certain questions about human nature. human destiny. and natural law. He takes seriously the question that society is for something. He makes a distinction between the good life and the moral life. 00 00 In reading King's autobiography. Eddins said. he was impressed with the way King would take certain philosophers. such as Hegel. Marx. Nietzche, or Schopenhauer, and .. work on them for two or ~hree weeks. or months. at a time. take thtm very seriously, and give them what creqit he thought they should have, then cull from them what he thought he could use in his own philosophy. · "The scope of his perceptions and the seriousne(s with which he considered these quite diverse philosophies shows he was a profound thmker," he added. In this search for unity in King's philosophy. Eddins is engaging in more than a . mere academic exercise. With t.he liberal programs and goals of the 1960s and l970s now under attack by a. conservative fundamentalist movement sancti~ned by the Reagan administration, there 1~ a need to strengthen the liberal positiOn. As author of a paper titled "Philosophical Foundations of Liberalism . " which will be published by the Journal of the New York Socierr for th• Study of Black Philosophy. Eddms takes the current status - or. more precisetv. non· status - of liberalis~ very serioUsly. He has made. as he puts It, a "lifelong consideration" of the topic . .. I 'm trying to give liberalism some philosophical foundations SQ we won't have to fall'ba~k on the shallow do-gooder emphaSis, he explamed. ''I'm trying to show there are philosoP.hical foundations m natural law which Will support a liberal outlook and programs.. rm strengthened by th e work of Dr. King. I find in Dr. King a valuable ally." E ddins, who is the only black full professor of philosophy in any major Amencan research university, feels that many of the gains made by blacks in the wake of King's efforts have been lost. "The climate for black advancement is definitely on the low end of the social b~rometer, " he commented , adding that some of the setbacks are the fault <If thel black liberal leadership. " l think the net' effect of the War on Poverty was to ad~ance certaan blac.k.s and recognize the1r talents. We have failed to educate the American people to remind them about what the Constitution says. The officral leadership failed to put certain things such as affirmative action in the proper context ... A pessimistic Eddins said, "lt is a rough time forsocial philosophers. intellectuals. and liberals today." He decrie the .. callousness and meanness .. that seems to permeate the Reagan administration. " I think Dr. King would find difficulty in making his 'I Have a Dream' speech in the context of the kno,.·nothin$ness of the Reagan administration,.. Eddtns said. ·•There are two ways to look at society: one. in whifh we say what we do 10 society is to arrange our institutions to hold people at bay and get on as best we can. and two. in which we suggest that we have a common task to work out. to come to a greater understanding and ask questions about what values society should · have. "h appears that Reagan is the fi.rst American president to lack axrand vision of what our society should be," he added. The only public figure who comes close to King's oratorical vision , in Eddins ' view. is New York Governor Mario Cuomo. "who remind us of our mor31 decency." Next semester Eddins will offer for the third time: , a seminar on liberalism. focussing on how it may J:>e strengthened and how it can "serve on~ mr re as a program guide." · B ut why try to tie Manin Luther Kjn$'5 social activism to something asesotenc as the principle of natural Ia". which seems to interest only philosophers these days? Simply to show that what he was fighting for was right and just, and that his nonviolence was more than just a strategy. but rather a reasoned outcome of his belief in the natura order, and the King, page 11. �December 5, 1985 Volume 17, No. 14 WBFO Raises record $46,500, builds new tower By JOSE LAMBIET T his November will be a Novembtr to · remember for WBFO.

"Nov. . we will cover both Niagara and Eric counties:· Sikorski said. "People who are closer to the transmitter will receive a much improved signal." At deadline time. WBFO had just returned to the air and was broadcasting from the new transmitter location: "We had about 1,000 calls from people asking what happened to us. The 'Gosh. we miss yo u' calls are especially flattering," said Sikorski. The station was off 1he air for more than a week waiting for the OK from the Federal Communications Commission to resume broadcasting." The new transmi ssion system used by the U B stati on involves a ~ophisticatcd microwave dish on top or' the Allen Hall studios which sends signals to the new tower. The tower is then used as a relay and broadcasts these signals to Western New Yo"rk radio sets. According to Sikorski , there should be no problem for residents in the vicinity of the new antenna ... Some people whose TV tuners are deficient might have recep· tion problems. But if they <;ome to the station. we will gladly offer them a special filter to eliminate any dif0culty, .. said Si~or s ki. Campus is dry as FSA officials study the . By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO hat the new 2 1-ycar-old drinking age didn 1t do, an insurance drought ha s . accomplished U B ha s become a dry campus. The Faculty Student Association. the: only group authorized to sell liquor at U B. is no longer serving it because the group can't get adequate liquor liability insurance, explained Leonard Snyder. assistant vice president for finance: and management and executive director of W F A. Th~ Wilkeson Pub. Tiffin Room. Cen· ter for Tomorro\\ , lOth floor of Goodyear- anywhere that the F A sold or sened liquor - nrc affected. Snyder said. In the past, FSA carried ba~ic coverage of $500.000 with excess coverage of S5 million for liquor. Thb insurance pro· tectc:d the agency in ca~e a third part¥ was injured, for example, an an. auto accadent by a minor or drunJ.. dnver who was served alcohol by FSA. he said . That insurance: expired Nov. 25. Now. instead of S500.000. FSA can get on ly. SIOO.OOO worth of erotewon. and the excess insurance is sampl)' unavaal- ab le. Snyder said. "One hundred thousand dollars is not adequate unless claims top off at $ 100.000.'' he said. "But th ey're in the millions." FSA. a not-for-profit corporation that handles food. recreati on. vending. and related kinds of activities for U B. has a couple of million dollars in assets to pro- " ~hat drinking laws couldn 't do, the insurance companies did. teet. Snyder pointed out. The FSA tried unsuccc,;fullv to get liquor insurance elsewhere, he said. It i!-1 experient:ing what is a Statc·wide and nation-wide problem in im~urance. This insurance drought is notable in the areas of liquor. medical malpractice. and municipality coverage. :·Many . s.~a!ler taverns and _liquor stores are running into the same prob· km."' Snyder said. T he FSA is stil l examining alternatives to a dry ca mpus. With its attorneys and insurance agents. it i~ looking at ways that alcohol could be served without UB's FSA playing a direct role. One idea is to subcontract the liquor operation to the FSA at Buffalo State College. Snyder said. Buffalo State's insurance was renewed last year before getting the insurance became a problem. That move would hopefully be temporary· just until the insura nce !iituation is resolved, he said. "I wouldn't expect anything in the 30. to 60-day range. but so metime into the s pring. knock. on wood.- he said. The priority in the State Legislature is clea rl y with the malpractice insurance. Snyder said. but he added that the legislators are also aware of the problems with liquor liability insurance and int,urarycc for municipalities. It is still too early to know how the situa tion will affect plans to remodel a portion of the eating area in Norton Hall for a Rathskeller, he said . That will be discussed at an meeting today. , :sA New tower (abon) Ia located ,.., North FoiNI. (AI left) Wortman lnalll/1 the •ntenn•. As for radios near the tower, they should not be affected either. .. A lowe• version of our signal will be heard in the gaps on the FM band, but that i> it."' Sikorski added. In fact. WBFO's old tower at Kimball Tower was in the middle of a highly populated area and problems were rare. he said.. 0 alt~rnatives The inabi lit y to sell liquor on campus may cause FSA to lose some money , but "it's not a crisis by any stretch of the imagination," Snyder said. Alcohol is only a small part of the busi· ness, he noted . While FSA docs about S7 million a year in· food, it does only a couple of thousand dollars in liquor. In addition. while FSA didn\expectto cease sales of liquor, it did expect them to drop when the drinking age was raised to 21 on Dec.- I. he said. Snyder pointed out that FSA 's insurance sit uat ion does not prevent alcohol from being present on campus: it onl) prevents FSA from selling it. 11 is his impression that alcohol could still be served at small office parties and other gatherings as long as the guidelines , of UB's Alcohol Review board are fol· lowed. he said.

On Nov. 27, OER as'ked the Public Employment Relation s Board (PE RB) to appoint a fact-finding panel. This process is the stage beyond mediati o n, Tarwater explained. Much like a trial , each side presents its position in the form of a legal brief. The preparation a lone could take seve ral months, he said. The fact finders can make recommendations. but their decisions are not binding. The rcqueg to go to fact-finding is usually pro forma, Tarwater noted. and a resolution of a contract. stated Thomas "U UP rem ained reluctant to let us know exactly what they needed to settle a contract.

He is a third-year graduate student in linguistics here. McGreevy came under fire for a statement made in the Oct. 24 issue of the Reporter in which he maintained that ' UUP is intervening in the GSEU action . witb the Public Employment Relations Boa rd ( PERB) and attempting t o "accrele .. GAs and TAs into their bargaining unit. He added that this was being done in co ntradiction to a vote of UU P's l own delegate .Ssembly. His allegatio n prompted a statement in a recent UU P newsletter which denies any such action. · "UU P has done nothing since the delegate assembly action. It is still an interested party, an observer, but has taken no positive action ... the newsletter reported. McGreevy maintains that although legalistically the word .. accretion~· may have been improper in his original statement, UUP is still involved as more than an observer. Instead of a .. party pursuing accretion, .. they are more properly called an .. interested party pursuing intervention ... he said . ~ According to McGreevy. intervention and accretion actions are identical in intent but are used in different situations. Both apply to the absorption of a group of people into the constituency of an existing union . "Accretion would be the initiation of a group in to an existing unit before movements to organize a union are made by that group .... This doesn 't apply to GAs and TAs since the GSEU has already been formed," he explained. Bo th accretion and intervention can take place without the 30 per cent show of inte rest required to establish a new union such as the GSEU.' McGreevy outlined the actions which have led to the current difference in interpretation of U UP's involvement. On Jan. 23, New York State United Teachers (NYsun filed a motion of intervention with PERB. YSUT is the parent union of UUP. On Jan. 31 Communication Workers of America (CW .\), the parent union of the GSEU , filed an objection to the intervention motion. Despite this move, NYSUT's intervention motion was accepted by PER B. "They (NYsun arc now panicipants and are invired to all hearings where they .can cross.examine. gain access to evidence. present evidence. and gain access to information on the dealings of PERB and the GSEU," McGreevy said. 0 n Feb. 9, the UUP delegate assembly passed a resolution intended to halt UUP's intervention. ltstates: ~Where­ as an accretion intervention is a legalistic and undemocratic fo rm of acquiring members for a union unlike organizing for a 30 per cen t show of interest. therefore be it resolved that the delegate assembly of UUP instruct its executive board not to intervene by accretion intervention with PER B in the dispute betwee n UUP and CWA concerning union representation for the graduate st udent employees for the State University of New York. " Paul Diesing. president of the UUP Buffalo Cente r Chapter. spoke against the accretion move and promoted the passage of thi s resolution at the UUP delegate assembly. ''Accretion is asking PERB to rule that these people belong in your union regardless of whe1her they wan t to be or not. The executive board has decided that U UP should not do that and we have nbt acted against that ruling .... We would like the GSEU to join us but only bytbeir ~ choice ... he said. " YS UT is another kettle of fish entirely. I can't account for what they're doing .... It may be that they have intervened to pad the rolls and get mon: dues." McGreevy does not accept the distinction between UUP's and NYSUT's actions made by Diesing. "From our point of view, NYSUT and UUP are one and the same.... NYSUT lawyers act on UUP's behalf just as CWA "We feel that UUP isn't concerned with a democratic process: it just wants what's good for them bur.eaucra tically." lawyers act on our (GSEU) behalf." McGreevy said. McGreevy also challe nges the U UP assertion that they have nof acted in contradiction to the delegate assembly resolution . He notes that no paperwork has been filed since th en but also that there has been no need to do so since all necessary documents for an intervention had already been submitted. McGreevy maintains, however. that since YSUThas aa:ess to all information which passes between the GSEU and PER Band is a panicipant in all meetings. UUP is an active participant. "The delegate assembly didn\ instruct UUP to keep silent, just not to make accretion movemen ts ... Diesing offered. B ·oth the GSEU ani!-UUP are asking -to n:preseni GAs and TAs on the basis of being the best, to represent the interest of these groups of people. UllP hold that they are in ari advantageow. position since they have already established a bargaining n:lationship wnh SU Y and GAs and TAs do the same work as their curn:nt constituency. "UU P memben an: our supervisors; they hin: and fin: us," McGreevy said in opp9sition to the UUP positton. He added that the fact that GAnnd TAs arc students and employees at the same time makes their positions unique from others on campus. '"'We want to ensure a democratic process for ourselves - the GAs have organ- • ized, established the 30 per cent sho" ol interest, and petitioned PERB." McGreevy said . " We feel that UUP isn\ co~ed with a democrat ic process: 11 just wants what's good for them bureaucratically. .. All of the argumenu of both sides be heard and a representative chosen at public hearings scheduled for Jan. 1,4 and 15. At these hearings. PERB w1ll make two decisions . First it will be decided whether graduate students and teachinjl assistants are actually employ~:~'> with nghts to collective bargaining. Second, it will determine the mo) t appropriate bargaining unit. McGreevy noted that the GSEU would like UUP to withdraw the intervention motion before the hearings and foster a good relat.ionship bel ween the two Unlb " We really don' want to criticize UUP We'n: behind what they'n: doing as a union but we'd like the executive board and la¥r)'ers to withdraw the intervention ... he said.

Stein when he assumes the new position of interim vice president for spOnsored programs. Stein told th e Faculty Senate Executive committee of a recent competition with Johns Hopkins and other prestigious institutions for a research grant. UB submitted a proposal that was every bit as good as the others. but there was an erroneous perception that the other institutions themselves were better. Stein explained. ..

" ( want to spread the good word about SU Y Buffalo so we don't Jose when We tie." · First and foremost, the new vice presidency is an external marketing operation.· M \ he said. His job will be to ge t funding information a nd bring it bad: to the deans.

"This is happening because we haven't developed a network : we don't have a prominent Washington presence ... Stein said.

Other sta tes rely heavily on their public universities, but that doesn't happen here. Stein said he was told that one State agency actually prefers to go to New Jersey to have its testing done. .

Th e importance of students to many campus organizations is apparenlly one of the reaso ns behind a Sl million increase in expenditures for the student payroll at UB in 1984-85. In 1983-84 , 1hose expenditures were S 11.3 million; in 1984-85, they totalled more. than Sl2.3 million. Marlett, who hires two student ytriters. twp student photographers, and freela nee student artists every semester, declared that students are very important to the R•porter. "Not only do they help us s1ay in touch with campus life, but they also tend to be creative and bring added vitalit y to our publication.- he noted . ··Because students have been so good. there has been a stud ent budget increase here." he said . "I thmk s1uden1S get more than just money when !hey work here. They gain practical experience and get their work published." >aid Rebecca Berns1ein. the Reporter art director. The R~porll'r was just o ne of a large nutnber of campus organi7ation> which spen t a 1otal of$1.6 million on undergraduate "student assistance" in 1984-85. The Cri tt ca l Languages program which uses .seven st udents is anothtr example. Dr. Peter Boyd-Bowman, its director, cmphasi1ed that although the students get "shamefully little money" for their work. the en tire program depends on student s' availability ... We can teach II different languages because there are UB foreign students who tut or thetr fellow student s twice a week ,... said Boyd- Bowman. "The problem is that we do not ha ve any faculty . But with little money, studentS help us realize a lot. We offer co urses in Dutch , TUrk1sh, Damsh, anP Yiddish. nrrlong others. "he added. Many students work not just for the money. Boyd-Bowman stressed. "The workload is not that heavy, and most of them enjoy it.'" Recreation and Intramural Services employ approximately 50 students. "We need football , basketball, soccer, hockey. and softball referees." said Vivian Brooks. the intramurals coordinator. According to graphics consultant Marc Katchay, another 40 students are employed by the computer facility in Bell HalL Katchay, a se nior in computer science. said his job includes "solving the problems faculty and students might run mto using the facilities ." The College Work Study Program is probably the program from which most students benefit. "We help more than 1.000 srads and undergrads, ''said Financial Atd Coordinator Hugh Ganser. The program offers students a work package of up to 20 hours per week that should help them meet their financial needs. "We try to match up the job to the student's interc~~ts as much as possible," Ganser said. "We have people working for public safety, others at the libraries. or some even doing research . Their responsibilities include anything from filing papers to answering phone calls ... Dr. Milton Plesur, History, finds the Work Study Program "a marvelous help for both !he professor and the student." Plesur, to whom two students are assigned, said they save him a lot of time.

It was a thrill to hear that you had been selected for an honor as important as the Nobel Prize. How have things changed for you since then? A. As for changing my career or my job, it's hard to imagi ne picking up and movi ng on at my age (of 68). The prize has certainly changed things, though I hope only temporarily. I'm much busier now and it's hard to get a ny work done. I have so many invita~ tions to speak, I am nearly booked all the way thro ugh June 1986. I_ was wa rned this would happen. This is the co mmon complai nt of all Nobel Laureates- that it takes a year out of your life, in a good way_. One change that I hope it wtll produce is to pro mote the importa nce of pure sc ientific research. which is not sufficiently appreciated by the general public or by com mun ity leaders. Basic research is so important because of its valuable - and often unpredictable benefits to mankind. We need ihe support of tltc enlightened public if we arc to be allowed to · continue such important work using public and private funding. If my research had not been publicly funded. it may ne\ler have been · comple ted and the revolutionary atvance to all hu.mans may not have been rea)ized. Q . I know one mvllal/on you won 't turn down 1s the one.m Stockholm December 10 A. Yes, that's when I go to accept the Nobel Pri7.e in Chemistry. I a lso will speak about my technique in a Icc~ .. Direct Methods and Anomalous Dispersion ... a. That's not familiar to most people outside your field. Can you,_explain to the readl3r what your basic technique is about? A. The mathematical m<thod I \I eve loped with Jerome Karl~ in the 1950s is called the Direct Methods. It is used to determine the three-dimensional crystaJ structures of biologically important molecules such as hormones. vitamins, and antibiotics. To identify the structure. an X-ray beam is projected on a crystal. That beam is scattered in thousands of directions which forms a pattern on photographic film . The pattern appears as arrays of thousands of spots of differing brightness. By analyzing the intensity of the dots, the Direct Method approach calcu lates the angles from which the beams were rcflc~tcd. Using this information. the formula allows us to put together an accurate picture of the molecular st ruclUre. Q . This helps us to understand the technique but what 1s /he reason why the Dlfect Methods 1s considered such a revoltJiionary advance? A. Before the Direct Methods, we could only usc the pattern to guess at possible structures indirectly. The technique is now the primary method to identify the structures of molecules so th8t they car1 be synthesized or manipulated to produce new. drugs and chemicals useful to industry and medicine. I guess that 40 to 50 thousand structures have been found using the tcchntques 90% of all new structures. 5000 nc:w chemicals or drugs each year. Every pharmaceutical and chemical company must apply the Direct Methods to solve the structures they later develop. 0 . Does that mean that all the new drugs that have been developed in recent years to treat disease depended upon your lormuta to be developed? That must mean thousands if nor mil/Ions ot people have benefllled because of the techmque. A. Yes. The contribuiiOn ol your techmque has also made a great d1fference. then, m the development of all the new chemicals thai mdustry relies on tor 1/s technology, not tust in the f1eld ol med•cme Your methOd ha s. mdeed. had a tun~aQ. What about your family's reaction? A. My dau.hter, a research psychologist in WashtnJ.~on ~ D .C., was very happy. The famtl y never expected it. Some of my relatives sent me beautiful letters describing how proud they were. One niece sent me a f5-foot-long computer printout "card" that ~aid "CONGRATULATIONS UNCLE H E RB." Another wonderful letter ca me fro m a relative I've never seen who told me the dee p effect it had on her twin 11-year-<>ld daughters. Q. An Interview wiih Buffalo's Newest V.I.P. ast month. Snyder resident Herbert HauAtman; Ph. D., L received the highest professional honor when he was aw,arded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now one of the rnbst famourr-people in Western New York., be brings great prestige to his Medacal.Foundation of Buffalo, Inc., to U8, and to th~ entire Buffalo-area community because of his accomplishments. Dr. Hauptman is medical and research director for the Medical Foundation of Buffalo, lnc. He bas been with the independent resellrch group since 1970, the same year he joined the UB Medical School as research professor of biophysical sciences. The .following is an interview with Dr. Ha11ptman following the news on October 16, 1985, of his prize, shared with his former co-researcher Jerome Karle of the Naval Research Lab in Washingtt1n D.C. The interview especially illuminates for· the lay reader the tremendous significance of his technique and its beneficial effects on industry, medicine, science, and society. lt also describes the background that led up to his breakthrough research. as well as interesting incidents that followed announcement of his award. Q. What was the reaction from your cotleagties outside~! Buffalo? A. An absol utely terrific response 400-plus ecsta tic letters and phone calls. My fellow crystallographer> were especially proud because this -was the fi rst time in six decades that a Nobel Prize had directly recognized the field of crystallography. I am also the first mathematician tv~r to receive a Nobel Priz.e. w~~~~~~il~'~r· t~;~r~~~~~~~ !~~~~o~~i1f-. ized my technique. My fellow Nobel Laureate, Jerome Karle (whO heard the news oVert he iOtercom while in a jet 30,000 feet up), told me later. "h topk a l~mg time for this to be recogntzed." a. 1understand that in the early days, your fellow sctentists weren't SO quick IO recognize the contribution. A. Yes, Jerome and I got quite a hostile reaction in the 1950s when we tried to• show we had solved the "phase problem" [which had been the barrier to directly solving chemical structures]. Many dido' believe it could be done or thought it was •only a minor improvement, One wellknown told me that if he • See Nobel page 11 menial eflect even when it comes down 10 people 's everyday fives. Can you g1ve us some examples ol drugs developed out ol the technique? . A. I haven) really kept a list in my mind. One that comes up in digoxin, one of the major drugs used to treat heart disease. It was derived from digitalis which was lhe original heart medicine. However. digitalis' therapeutic dose is just below the toxic dose. So the method was used to design a safer variation called digoxin. Also developed out of the technique are artificial steroids useful in treating breast ca ncer. and enkcphalin, a natural pain~ontrol substance rn the brain that may lead to new pain-killing drugs. Others are vitamins, hypertension drugs, antibiotics. and hormones. In the fu ture we hope the technique will be used to determine variations in the structures of D A molecules (the basic molecules that are the basis of genetics). a. Wasn't there another reason why your method was so revolutionary? A. Yes. Twenty years ago, it took two years to determine the structure of even a simple molecule with only 15 atoms. Today. it takes only one or two days to determine structures of 50-atom molecules. With computers. it may soon become possible to do it in minutes. The delay, however. now is in the process of m'akin~ the crystal (a prerequisite to identifying Its structure). That can still take a week or a month. Q , We heard about your reacllon of surprise and disbelief upon hearing about your l!onor. What was your wife's reaction? A. She heard it when I called her during classes at the elementary school where she teaches. 1 said .. Honey, I won the Nobel Prize." She responded "I can) believe it!" and then accidentally hung up. Then she dashed into the hall and shouted the news to anyone who would listen. When I called her back again, ~he realized she had hung up by accident. "We got quite a hostile reaction when our work was first done." �A Tale of s·even Researc ou can't tell a book by its cover, and you can't always tell an 1 Organize<;! Resea rch Center by its title.

Providing the equipment and spcciali!cd personnel needed for re~earch in unusual physical environments is the purpose of this center. explained its director, Claes Lundgren. aho·a professor of physiology. Spccaali1ed equipment. housed in the Hermann Rahn Laboratory in Sherman Annex. includes the human centrifuge and a doughnut-shaped immer~ion pool. The centrifuge can generate a high gravity load while immersion in the pool can ~imulate lower than normal gravity, Lundgren explained. Other special environments examined at the center include C;(trcme~ in temperature. air pressure. and gas density. This research is applied to a wide range of interests including circulatory and lung disease in newborns. space ti--avcl. deep ~ca diving. and the functioning of a d1esel engine. The interaction of people from different disciplines at the center ha~ encouraged new work. better ideas. and more effective instrumentation. Lundgren said. Engineering faculty. physiologists. and clinicians are all involved. Also Important to the center arc pccialized and highly trained personnel such as a diving team and other people who handle dangerous. l)igh.pres!jtlrC equipment. ··Even if I had the money. I collldn"t gn out and buy the trained personnel. .. Lundgren said. Without the center, it might take five or ten years to arrange the necessary specialized equipment and personnel to conduct a single two-month experiment. Lundgren pointed out. The center provides continuity that solves that problem. �December 5, 1985 Volume 17, No. 14 Stamp Show to be held in -Chicago this May. Members will also discuss their rnaterials.

Senate asking that it stop publishi ng the col-lected prayers of the Se nate 's chaplains. T he prayer book. stamped with a gold cross on the cover. is pri nted at taxpayers' expense and is given out free. Publishi ng the prayers violates the constit utiona l ba n on . establishing an > oOicial religion, Kurtz conte nds. ' Kurtz had take n his com plaint to fed eral court. The jud ge in the case, Louis Oberdorfe;·. encou raged Kurtz a nd the Senate"s :awyers to see how the Senate might vote befo re asking the court to rule on the constitutional issues invo lved. If the Senate d oes not act o n the peti· l. King lion. the case will go back to-federal collrt for a ruling. Kurtz said. . "We will appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary." he said . In his pe tition to the Senate, Kurtz. also had the backing of Senator Charles M. Mat hias. R-Md .. chairman of the Senate Roles and AdminislratiQII Committee. Mat hias agreed 10 consider the pe titio n and stated t hat he personally op posed the printi ng of the prayer book at pu blic cost. · In a si multaneous lawsuit, Kurtz has ~ asked the co urt to allow him to offer non· theist remarks in place of prayers offered by chaplains at the begi nmng of Congressional sessions. Thai case is still being conside red and a decision probably won't be ready for a few months. he said. 0 ../. From page 2 unit y of the unive rse. Ma ny people have eo'm pa red the activit ies of K i n~ to those of Mahatm a Gandhi. Eddons will elaborate o n 1hat to pic in a presenta tion in Dece mber. He has been in vited to present a· paper o n the topic by the Ga ndh i- King Societr. whic h is hold ing a meeting in conjuncti on with the Eastern Divisio n meetings of the America q_ Philosophical Association in Was hing(on. D .C. .. Ce rtai nly Dr. King was innue'nced by Ga ndhi 's notion of satyagrah a. bu t th ere was also the Ga ndhi an perspective o n no nvio lence as a tactic. when to use it . o n who m.' a nd in what conte xt." Edd ins ex plained . ··Ga ndh i used no nvio lence to appeal to Christi anize d Britai n. King a lso used no nvi olence in th e co ntext of a Christianized America and an America with quite a reve rence fo r its Co nstitution." In her remarks in res ponse to Eddins' pa per at the At lanta conference. Mrs. King (whose remarks we re "'very graeiou;."" Eddins reported) said that she believed that her late husba nd would have used nonviolence even in t he current crisi~ in South Africa. "We could not challenge her on that."" Eddins said. remembering his own ··unsettling·· experiences in Pretoria two years ago. " Wha t I see there is what one migh t ca ll 1he philoso~hy of co nve nience."' he added . " If it gets ino ur way • .«oe wi ll side· step it o r bludgeo n o ur way through. I lh ink Dr. King co uld count on th at response." Comparing So uth Africa 's .. philoso phy of co nve nie nce .. wilh that of Ihe Reagan adinin istrat io n. Edd ins noted. "There is an al mos t genetic - a congen ital - as pect of res peel fo r what the law is. whic h is o ne of th e savi ng graces of America n socie ty. T hat was the importance of the 1954 Bro wn S upre me Co urt 'dec isio n. wh ich established a legal umb rell a under wh ich o ne eo uld engage in civil di so bedie nce. Even th o ugh the _slemonstrators met with all ki nd s of vio lence. they were always a ble to point to provisions in the Co nstitut io n. Even tho ugh they were put in wit ho ut blacks in mind . we were always able to press fo r eq uality o n I he basis of already es tablis hed co nslitu tio nal provisions. such as the Prea mbl e. lhe 131 h. 14th, a nd 15th amendments."" Ed d ins added. .. Reagan underestimates both the basic decency of the American people and the rega rd in which they hold the Co nsti t utio n. a nd its spin· off val ues of fairness., and individual dignity and wort h." Eddins will continue his studies of King's philosophy by examining the civil rig hts leader's pa pers held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Ce nier for Nonviolent Social Change. Inc .. in Atlanta. 0 Nobel could solve a ce rt ai n co mpl ex structure wi th o ur form ul as, the n he would be convinced. And it did hap pen. But it took 15 years after repeated solving of struclures, before t he fi nal skepti· cism about the me thod was removed. a. Drd you get any unexpected calls from people out of your past? A. Yes. 1 heard from re latives, classmates. and co ll eagues I have n't heard from in yea rs or even decades. One oft he most touc hing was a phone call from my old high school math teacher, now retired in Florida. He waited weeks to call me until he was sure I was the same Herb Hauptman he taug ht at Townsend Harris High School in Manhattan. He told me how proud he was that now ~e has ··a_ thi rd notable person among h1s former students.'" He told me th at he had taught both Jonas Salk (discoverer of the polio vaccine) and a Nubel winner in economics. · a. How do you feel about gettmg all these calls and suddenly bemg in demand now for all kinds of appearances? A. I just acce pl it as part of what just happens. I would be more selecti ve. From page l tho ugh. if it were to beco me a permane nt thi ng. I do really enjoy the nice thi ngs that happen. such as the Oliver Wendell Holmes eleme ntary school st udent who told me how he loves crystals. se nt me a picture of a crystal that he d rew. and asked me for my photo in return. I sent a photo 10 him and lhen learned of the great morale boost I had given the boy . who had had problems at ho me. a. When diet you get interested m math? A. I remember I was a bout 5 or 6 while living in the Bronx. I beca me inter· ested in numbers at the same time I was learn ing to read. a. What kmd of elfect do you thmk thiS will have on the Medical Foundatron of Bulla/a? A. I thi nk it will certainly help us in our research funding and our preStige and visibility both locally :lhd natio naUy. a. Do you have anythmg else you 'd lrke to add? A. Yes. All this that has been happening can be sum med up simply by saying. "This is just GREAT!"' 0 �o-mber 5, 1185 Volume 17, No. 14 Srihari is teaching computers to read better By DAVID C ..

The grant was an awarded as a follow-up to earlier study' v.•hich Srihari and his research assistants completed on identifyi ng the best Possi-, ble electronic sys tem for au tomatic reading of addresses. ~ "The latest project is based on a spe- . cific problem th at came up in the other on character recognition. "Sri hari said . As a result of the preliminary stud y, Srihari ctnd his assistant found that computerized sys tems have a problem d~stin­ guishing the address from the .. noise .. on a let ter or o th er pieces of mail . including magazines ('•flats" in Postal Service parla nce) and packages.

But usi ng lot1iion as a single facto r in address recognition is not a lways accurate. In order to improve the accuracy of the automated systems, Sri hari proposes that the expert system investigate the entire letter with an o pt ica l scanner and analyze all bits or information. then co nclud e which is the address. based on the probability that it is the address. Such factors as the shininess of a window that may cover the address. the texture of the type. the color and location will be co nside red. and a probability number will be assigned to each block on the letter. These assignment s are called "knowledge rules .. in artificial intelligence systems. The computer will then analy1e the block with the highest probability . of being the address. Srihari and his ~project resea rch assistants are also investigating how to improve the computer's abilitylo read the address once it is located: A ri ex p!rt on document image analysis by comp uter. Srihari proposes to use artificial intelligence methods of teaching com puters to read names and addresses without stori ng all cities on the map. for inuance. His researc h assista nt Jonath an J .

Srihari said. "Fifty per cent of this mail is sorted automatically and 85 per cent of it is machine ty ped. That means that 35 per cent of the prepared mail could not be sorted automatiCally ......

Doyno . a member of the English faculty here since 1966. received the award from Governor Cuomo October 21 in Albany. Eight other employees from across the S tate also received 1985 productivity awards. This is the first year of the awards program. which is sponsored by the gover· nor's Office of Management and Produc· tivity. The in ten t is to recognize outstanding S tate em ployees "who have con tribuled in an exceptional way to the State's productivity efforts," said a governor's spokes man ... During the first yea r of the program," the spokesman ad ded, "nominees for the awards produced more than S6 million in savin$S and avoided costs fort he taxpayer, wh•le ot hers found new ways to improve government services and the way in which the State is managed.~ A notice enclosed with all State pay~ c heck s June 12 encouraged State employees to submit nominations for the awards. Doyno was recognized for conducting, with Prof. Lester W. Milbrath of political science, the recent ...Quality of Campus Life" s urvey. Doyno and Milbrath polled faculty members during the winter of 1983-84, and an interim report was prqduced last year. Proposals have been advanced to co ndu ct such a survey every three ye~rs.

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

CLASSROOM CRUNCH Tighter scheduling means more classes at 8 and 4 By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO hile there 11·i// be enough classroom space in the fall of 1986, the opening of Park Hall. the Social Sciences building, will mean tighter scheduling, accord.ing to Robert .1 . Wagner. vice president for University services. Mar< classes will be scheduled during low utilization periods, notably at 8 a.m4 and 4 p.m., he said . Theopeningof Park Hall will mean the addition of 13 percent more class periods to the Amherst Campus, butt he addition of only two classrooms, neither of which is a large lecture hall, he explained. "That's a relatively modest addition of class periods," Wagner said. "On the other hand, we have quite high utilization of classroom space already. We're shrinking our ncxibtlity." Both Park Hall and the recently W opened Jacobs Management Center were designed with the assumption that centrally scheduled classroom space would be available elsewhere on the Amherst Campus. he said . When the problem was analy1cd, it was fo\md that there ~~-indeed more than enough vacant class'l\riods in the fall of 1985toseatthe aditional load expected in the fall of 1986, he said. There are about I ,600 class periods available. (Class periods, not to be confused with class sections, are the chunks of time during the week that classes · meet.) This semester, about I ,300 class periods were used on the Amherst Cam- pus. Wagner said. Next fall, about 1,470 class periods will be needed. That still leaves 130 vacant class periods that can be used for required changes in time or location. ''I'm sure there is going to be less of a choice of times and room locations to change to because more claSses will have . been seated in the existing classrooms," Wagner said. "But it's certainly 'doable'." Wthe provost on the plan, said he will agner, who has been working with also work with the academic units to make sure the scheduling process does not harm the integrity of the academic program. "It's not a major overhaul. just a minor improvement in distribution, .. he said. The space vacated in Ridge Lea and Ellicott by Social Sciences departments doesn'Lfigure into the plan because those moves probably won't f~ee any classroom ·space. Wagner said hi s guess is that . the University wil simply·let its tease run out on the space rented at Ridge Lea. In Ellicott. much of the space used by the Social Sciences is residential space The tighter scheduling plan "allows us to keep support services here (on the ~rr}~~~~ ':'i';~fr'i~~:~~· ;no;.~!~ ~v~:i:~~ which will be returned to bed space in the times of day.

In the move toward self·sufficiency as One alternative would have been to move student support offices, such as housing subsidies are removed , the addi- tional beds would be beneficial because they would produce revenue, he noted. There is also administrative space in Ellicott that will be vacated when Social Sciences units move out. Wagner said discussions are still in the early stages on how best to use that space. This rescheduling plan will work until the Natural Sciences and Mathematics building opens around 1990. he predicted. That building will have enough classroOms to take care of a good 'portion of that Faculty's needs, but there will be some spillover. T Career Planning and EOP, out of the classroom space they occupy along the Spine. The problem is there's no place along the Spine to which to move them, Wagn,er said : Moving the offices to Ellicott would be a possibility, but that would be a significant move that takes time to think through, he said. Without high quality transportation and the right constellation of services. s uch a shift could harm the quality of student life. Because of the logistics involved in moving all of those units to and from Ellicott during one summer, it would · probably be unrealistic to think it could be done, and done well, Wagner said . he Fine Arts Building is expected to If other options present th'emselves, open before then. but much of its space will be assigned by the departments Concerned, so it won't have much effect on centrally scheduled classroom space. they'll be studied, he said.

Sample, in response to recommendation s from the Facult y Senate and the Professional Staff Senate, has authorized the University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF) to conduct a feasibility study concerning a proposed expansion of the Tiffin Room that would allow the facility to be used as a University Club. The study, according to Joseph J. Mansfield, UBF vice president for university development, is intended to test faculty and staff interest in and willingness to support such a facility . The project is being conducted by Ketchum Inc., a New York City-based firm that is contacting abo ut 100 faculty and staff members for face-to-face interviews . Particip ants • chosen fort he stud y, which began Nov. 6, represent ''a good cross-section of potential users," Mansfield said, including faculty and staff who do not sup port the plan. · "If the feasibilit y study says there is . widespread interest on the part of faculty ii nd staff, and '8. willingness to con tribut e to a nd support the project, then plans will proceed," he said. "Once they build it, they have to use it." Th"e proposed hpansion project would add 2,150 square f~et and double th e present seating capacity of the 1.815 sq uare-foot Tiffin Roorri facility, acco rding to Kevin R. Seitz, presiden t, FacultyStudent Association . . Plans call for a two-story glass wall facing th e existi ng inner courtyard on the prese nt Tiffin Room's north wall and use of space immediately above the prese nt A UB club? Feasibility study is under way room. There would be fireplaces on the ground level and first floor, and a bar 811 the first floor. The ground level would be equipped with moveable partitions to allow the Tiffin Room to be divided intq, private roorns__wjth capacities ranging' from 25 to 35 people. Total cost of the proposed expansion has been esti mated at S400,000, Seitz said. FSA would provide $70,000 for the project, and the remainder would have to . come from faculty and staff contributions. Faculty and staff both have shown .a "great deal 'of interest" in the availability of University Club facilities, according to Dr. Claude E. Welch, Jr. . president. Faculty Senate, and Arthur W. Burke. president. Professional Staff Senate. "The Tiffin Roo m is heavily used at :. ·... '. "400,000 would be n"eededto enlarge-&, transform ·the Tiffin " Room tunc~. but bas no facilities for other than dining," Welch said. "The l'roposed location is exceedingly convemr.:nt. There are of course detractors, but I expect the feasibility study will help determine Whether a (fund-raising) campaign is warranted." " I have been approached by a number of people about the desirability of a center where professional staff and faculty can meet," Burke said. "The study will help determine the breadth and depth of that commitment really." Expansion of the Tiffin Room to allow it to be used as a University Club would be~ positive influ~nce on morale, accord ing to Sara M . Cicart:Ui, president , Facult/Ciub. " PI:ople feel somet hing is missing. We should be moving io. a more unified direction,.. she said . · Faculty Club facilities that now exist . on the lOth floor of Goodyear Hall and at 250 Wins pear Avenue are inadequate and inconvement for faculty and st_aff who work at the Amherst Campus, she said . "The people I have spoken with have· been supportive and have indicated a desire for a University CIJb, "sh~ said . " It would improve the spirit of collegiality, and Provide an opponunity to meet w!tch, ~ peak with, and socialize, with -people of other disciplines. It would .make them more aware of what· is going on at th e University... ;.. The feasibility study is expected to end by Thanksgiving, Seitz said, and Universi ty officials expect to know by Januarr.1986, whether the expansion project wtll proceed.

C hodrow, the Young Republican leader. is realistic enough to no1e that implementation of the first of tfte four parts of his proposed resolution would be a lot easier than restoring a f uii-Oedgcd military science department. There are at least 110 schools across the natioil ahead of UB on a waiting list for ROTC progral\lS (which are fully funded by the federal government), Chodrow points out. Many of them like UB are institutions which literally drove the military off their premises during the high-tide of left wing activism in the late 60s and early 70s. restore ROTC by .. some so rt of administrative fiat." · T he Air Force ROTC program which formerly existed at UB was officially abolished on Commencement Day 1971 by then President Robert L. Ketter. While personally not opposed to ROTC, Ketter made the decision in line with campus sentiment which predated his appointment to the presidency in the summer of 1'170. That sentiment had been expressed through a Faculty Senate vote of229-92 (in line with recommendations of a special ad hoc committee on ROTC chaired by the late law professor, David A. Kochcry, - and composed of Prof. Charles H .V. Ebert of Geography, Prof. Carmelo A. Privitera of Biology, and student Andrew Steele). A student referendum on April 15 and 16, 1970. backed abolition of .the program by a somewhat narrower vote. At the time. the UB Council vowed to retain ROTC despite any faculty / student referendums , claiming that the jurisdiction was theirs and not that of radicals "inn uenc ~d by Mao and Castro. •· In the course of general campus hullabaloo in 1he late 1960s, militant leftists had sacked the ROTC office in Clark Hall and burned its files in a display of contempt for the organi7ation and to dramatize its move to have the program removed from campu~. Chodrow speculates that the latter schools are certainly nor among the Defense Department's top priorities for reinstatement. He doubts that Defense would catapult UB to the top of the list just because an official decision is made to ask for reinstatement here. In any event. he no tes. University protocol see ms to indicate that any move for n::instatement would have to go from the Student Ahsociation to the Faculty Senate [which voted to abolish ROTC in 1he first place in March of 1970]. · If he had his way, however, Chodrow would just as soon bypass the Senate which he feels might be a tinge unresponsive on the issue. He would appeal · diPC>Otly to PrcsidentSteven ·B. Sample to C laude Welch. chairman of the Faculty Senate. said this week 'that ROTC was based on a contract between the Department of Defense (Air Force) and SUNY. The contract probably w., ini tially signed when UB was a private institution and it may have simply been carried forward when UB merged with SUNY . He said he believes SUNY had to sign off the contract when ROTC left campus. .. The Faculty Senate vote (in 1970) was close to the final nail in the coffin," he said. ROTC had been challenged by stu· dents and facu lt y and faced declini~g enrollments, he recalled. The power to reinstate ROTC would rest with th e President or possibly with the Cha ncellor and Trustees, Welch said. It's more than a curriculum matter. he explai ned ; it i'nvolves contractual matters such as payment of salaries. as well as en tering into a contract with an offcampus group. Welch said di,cussion of ROTC has been a student initiative up lO this point. No plans hav;_beey made by the Faculty Senate lo study the' issue yet, but nothing precludes discussion. He also noted that ROTC is a program of invitation by a branch o(the military; a university's request for a program doesn't, mean ROTC will be started at that campus. 0 �November 21 , 1985 Volume 17, No. 13 oints State clarifies what it calls 'misinformation ' on contract issues EDITOR'S NOTE: The lollowmg state· ment on the "status of negotiations" _ between the State and Umted Universlly ProfeSSIOns. the collect1ve bargaimng agent lor SUNY faculty and prolessronal stall. was ISSued to SUNY campus presi· dents Nov. 15 by Thomas Mannix, asso, Clate v1ce chancellor, employee relations and personnel.

SAI.,ARY DISPAR ITY In the lasl round of ne&otiations, monies appropriated to correct salary disparities were expended pursuaQt to a plan jointly .developed by SUNY and UUP. Thus ~re is a positive track . record with regard to selling aside. and spending funds targeted towards recog· nized disparities. For this round , the State bas offerell to ex pand upon those cooperative efforts by con tinu ing a salary disparity comm ittee with unex- pended funds remaining from the promotio n stud y. In i1s literature. UUP has claimed that the State is ignoring demonstrated salary disparities. The application of a maximum of several million dollars toward the rectification of demonstrated dispariti~s belies this msutuuonal cruelty meted out to the SO\IC:t refu~nih ilnd d1.~~ldent' whos.e onh -en me ..

Ubelaker"s specially is bones - he gets involved when there's no soft tissue left to examine. ne of only 35 cer1ified forensic anthropologists in the country, Ubelaker is called into a case if no one is available locally. The FBI sends evidence to him in brown cardboard cartons. ""These are a lo1 like Chrislm as presents,'' he told the large audience. "You never know what you're going to find inside." One recent box contained small bits of human bone- al11ha1 was lefl after an oil rig exploded. Anolher packa~eco01ained a mummified hand wilh red hquid oozing from il. The liquid IUrned ou11o be nail polish, and 1he hand was probably broughl up from Peru by lourisls, he said. The parcel had been mailed as someone's idea of a joke. The first queslion usually asked when a bone is found is whether it's human. Up to 15 per cent of Ihe lime il"s nol , Ubela_ker said. Whallooked hke a human hand m a jar of formaldehyde was really a beaver pa~. Bear paws, lefl behind by hunlers. ·are often m1staken for human hands once 0 W Douglaa Ubelaker: forenalc anthropolOgist the claws have fallen off. A not her question investigators ask is how old the person was at the time of death . One method of determining this is looking at the epiphyses or caps on the ends of the bones. These caps unite with I he bone iiSe lf as I he body grows older. The different caps unite with the bones at different rates. These rates arc known by studying baselinecolleclions such as I he Terry Colleclion, Ubelaker explained. The Terry Collection. assembled in 1he early 1900s in SL Louis, co01ains I ,700 skeletons of people, each accom~anied by information on the age at death. sex, medical history, and measurements. Hair samples and even some death masks (casts of the face) are also included. Another method of determining age is to X-ray the mouth and examine the s1age of developmenl of 1he Ieeth. This method is very exact in children, he no1ed. A mel hod Ubelaker likes is 10 examine a piece of bone under the m_icroscope. As the bone grows in width, it has rings like those seen in a cross-section of a tree. But as the person ages. tunnels are bored lhrough 1hese rings and filled in. By age 60. I he bone is riddled wilh 1hese lunnels . The tunnels can be counted to determine age. he said. In determining sex, the best area to look a1 is lhe pubis, lhe an1hropologis1 said. The angle of lhe bone is much greater in females. Race is a trickier characteristic to determine because it is not simply a biological phenomenon, Ubelaker said. In general, whites have narrow noses, juuin$ chins, and receding cheekbones, he sa1d. Blacks have wider noses and intermediate faces. Eskimos and Asians have very forward cheekbones and intermediate noses. Long bones are differenl also. Blacks have straight long bones; Asians, curved long bones, and whites, intermediate long bones. · Height is one of the charcicteristics that can be calculated with relative precisioo, Ubelaker said. There are differen1 formula used for the different races and sexes. N ot so easy to determine is the time elapsed since death. One torso (thought to be the yictim of a chainsaw murderer since head , arms. legs, and genital were removed) was found in a cave in Id aho. h was delermined 1ha1 il had been there for four or five years. but in the wet , isolated environment of the cave. the tissue was remarkably well preserved, Ubelaker explained. "A man reported a horse had kicked his wife to death, but Ubelaker found other evidence. . . ." The clima1e, I he acidity of1he soil, and whelher 1he body was exposed 10 scavengers all affect decomposition, he noted . For example. I ,000-year-old bones found in the arid climate of Peru still had soma soft tissue remaining. But in. the tropical rain forest exposed to scavengers, a body can be reduced to bones in two weeks, he indicated. When it comes to identifying a particular individual, signs of previous m~dical treatment can be helpful. For instance, surgical devices placed in bones can be traced to the manufacturer and physician. That was attempted in the case of a six-inch bone found in Anchorage, Alaska. The resl of1he skelelon had been devoured by carnivores. but the animals couldn) ea1 lhrough a melal plate 1ha1 had been placed in this bone lo repair a fracture. .Try as lhey mighl, !hough, the investigators in I his case couldn) 1race the physician lhrough this plate. The reason, Ubelakerdiscovered, was because a veter- hat investigators hope for in a case is somtthing unique that will enable them to identify an individuaL In examining the skull of one woman who had been in a car crash, he found a small wire in the woman's nose. A detective was sent back to the scene of the wreck and came up with what the wire had indicated- the woman's glass eye. Anbther distinguishing feature was that the bones showed the r~ghl side of the woman's face to have been lower than the lefl. " Jf !nybody was going lobe identified, you'd lhink this would be i1," Ubelaker said . .. But it's been three years and this piclure slill hasn 'l been idenlified." Another method of identification is X'rays of the frontal si nus in the skull. This proved helpful in a case of some ew England prostitutes who were inyo lved in Satanism.jle explained. One prostitute who had tilt:ed to the police was s1oned 10 deai!J,by I he olhers. They disposed of the bo<lr, excrp1 for I he skull from the nose up. Before 1he case could go 10 coun, I he skull had 10 be iden1i£ied as 1ha1 of 1he missing woman. As it turned out, a couple of monlhs before she died , she had been 1roubled by a sinus headache and had gone 10 a clinic where X-rays had been taken. The sinuses, as well as otherskull fealures on lhe X-ray, matched those of lhe skull fragmenl and led 10 a murder conviction. Examination of a skeleton sometimes produces different findings I han had been expec1ed. A recen1 case in New England concerned I he skelelon of an 18-year-old white female who had been missing for two years. She had been in some trouble, and il was 1hough1 she died of a drug overdose. "The body was iden1ified, in pari, by a 1oo1h I hat had been chipped and a mark over her eye where a rock had hit her· when she was a tot. The exami nation also revealed a sufprise-several stab marks on her face. There were 23 over her entire body, Ubelaker said. "'It wasn't a drug overdose, b'ut a murder," he noted. ' Investigators went back to the scene and turned up a weapon that was a com· binalion of brass knuckles and knife, which was probably the murder weapon, he said. Ubelaker pointed oul lhe inscriplion ~~i:::d:;;;;~~":!:ci:cr.r on.. of some of the grimmer aspects of forensic anthropology,'' he concluded.

The delegation of increased campus responsibility for financial management follows last month's Board deciSion to · recommend a 1986-87 dormitory operations budget which will require $5.4 million in added income from room rate increases. · • · As a result, the typical average rate for a standard double room for the 1986-87 academic year will be S1,650, compared. to the current UniYcrsityMwide charge of SI.5SO.

A majo r factor cont ributing to room rate variations is utility costs, which range widely ac ross the State and can cause room rates at given locations to vary upward by over S per cent of the average. . Guidelines promulgated under the plan for local management of dorms provide for a system-wide su bsidy to be utilized as necessary to ensure that utility costs, or otner unusual costs or condiM tio ns, will not require any fluctuation iO the average room rate beyond 5 per cent. Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. Jr .• said that increased management ai the local level "can be expected to offer a variety of residence life educational programs in a · safe and well maintained environment while meeting the requirement to minimize State support of the residence hall program ... The Chancellor pointed .out that if absolute central control of ·rates and bud$elS were continued, "it would contradtct the w.hole trust tqward flexibility and the atJempt to enable campuses to respond quickly and eiJcctively to diverse needs and circumstances." Wharton said that the management plan is designed to insure that all legal commitments with the Dormitory Authority ior bonded indebtedness are met. There will be continued interaction with the campuses and an opportunity for consultation with resident stUdents in setting room rates, he noted. f Overall, the local management guide- · lines are designed to insure that room rates for similar facilities will show only moderate variation amongtamp\JSCS'and not .affect student access or choice, and that differentiation of room rates at a given campus will be permitted only in• accordance with campus plans to avoid student housing assignments on the basis of income. T he Trustees also submitted their capilal co'nstruction budget request . which included a 500,car parking lot, "- S+ I million for health sciences equip\q)j:nt, and planning money for landscaping and flood control at UB . Many large projects at UB, such as the Fine Arts center, aren't listed in this budge t request because money was \ apt? roved in previ?us y~ars, explained-.#'. \rvtng Freedman, vtcechancctlor for capitaJ facilities. The trustees approved $875,000 for rhe 50<T..:ar parking lot to be built near Fronczak Hal l. The $5.1 million item reflects j ust some of the equip ment needed for Squire Hall and Carey-Farber-Sherman, Freedman said . Planning money fo r a lakeshore protectio n project at Lake LaSalle was set at S227,000. Freedman said the project would eventu ally cost abo ut $2 million. The total amou nt of planning, construction and equipment money sought fort he Main Street Campus is $8.87 million, with $2.6 inillion requested fo r Amherst. he said. · Now that the Trustees have made thei r request, the Division of Budget will review it and make recommendations to the governor.

There he learned more aliiiii'fthe SAMS program and MS .and was give n an organizatio nal outline to facilitate setting up the UB SAMS chapter. Smce then, he has selected people to cha1 r the various committees which will help SAMS attain its goal. '' My role is to oversee and make sure things are go ing smoothly," he said. An estimated 35 UB studentS arc now ac tive in SAMS and more are getting mvolved every day. Goldberg reports.

AMS has already s pon~ored several C\'Cnts to begin to meet this ambigoal. Two special nights have been held at local bars and the group worked ~ llh Com muter Affairs to hold a breakla\t. A "David Letterman Night" was rece ntly s taged at Wilkeso n Pub. SAMS .tl\o received 50 cents for each thre e~ d<JII ar bottomless cup of beer sold at Wingfcst. Wasserman reports. Also. the grou p has been th e beneficiary of two spCCJal nights of comedy at Yuk Yuk's. fhrce events planned by SAMS arc manda ted by the national orga nization. One is a "Rock·A-Like" contest, a lip !lynch competition slated for March I . To 4ualify, entrants must pay a S25 fee which · ~ the stan of a S400 sum that each con- S liOU3 ant your MTV? Just help SAMS fight MS testant is required to raise before the night of the event. Contestants are encouraged to enlist a campaign manager to help rai se funds, and most are repre~ se ntatives of a campus group which also helps them raise the necessary amount. '' Already many groups are working to raise money. . . From now until the contest the whole campus will be packed with fund~raising events.... Goldberg comm en ted. On the night of the contest the Univcr~ si ty commu nit y will be invited ..to cast their votes. A S2 admission fee will be charged and two one dollar vote cards issued. ..The contestant with the most money raised, including vote card s, will win, .. Wasserman said. Although they are not yet specifically determined. he reports that big prizes will be awarded for first , second, and third plaees and that all entrants should receive a gift. UB's winner will then compete in a regional lip synch cpntest. There are 22 schools competing in this region, includ~ ing Buffalo State College and the University of Rochester. The winner of that con~ test will be decided on the basis of talent. Finally, winners from the eight regions of the US will compete for an MTV summer internship .. A second event mandated nationally is a February I "Kick-Off• party. This will be the lip synch contestants' first official oUting in costume. Again, an admission fee will be charged' and people will be asked to cast vote cards for their favorite contestant. "We'd a lso like to have President Sample speak and have other important figures at the party but nt>thing is confirmed. ye t," Wasserman added. On February 14 , another event requested by SAMS national will be held. .. The Heart of Rock and Roll."' a simulated giant heart, will be erected for peo~ pic to fill with quarters. " Ideally we'd like to put the heart in Bouleva rd Mall for the day and then bring it onto campus for some type of event that ni ght, .. Wasserman said. Other plans of the organization include a December 6 comedy night in Talbert Bullpen. featuring comedians from Yuk Yuk's. "This was planned as a good alternative to drinking since th e drinking age will have c_h anged by then ... Goldberg noted. Camino Real. both vis~a-vis their problematic position in the " real" world and their necessa rily ephemeral quality. For example, stage left will vaguely suggest the dreamy South American hotel where events more or less take place. Audiences, however, will be able to s~e the building supports as in a Hollywood set, thus rein~ forcing the illusory nature of Williams' creation. In designing Camino Real, Perry says he has been especiall y influenced by the work of Giorgio de Chirico. the 20th century artist whose powerful. disturbing paintings use steep perspec~ tive, mannequin f\gures, empty space, ·and forms used out of context, to foster a sense of mystery and lonel\~es~. Perry i~ also lighting desig ner for th e production. Costume de signer Esther Kling has scoured the New York Costume Collection and other locales looking for mate~ rials needed to construct the many cos~ tumcs needed for the 29 players. She also went to ·an antique clothing store in New York where she ''found the greatest high hee led shoes yo u've ever seen.'' Other items, such as a period pearl necklace. were purchased from New York street vendors. Actors playing the·historical f literary figures have been encouraged to read specific text s or to consult other sou rces in order to come up with a look which meshes with the director's interpre· tat!on, Klio_g said.

A raffle and o ther added attractions are planned. An event which would involve President Sample is also in the works. Wasserman would like to hold a pie auction in Capen Lobby and allow the highest biqder to throw 1he pie at Sample or other administrators, faculty, and stu~ dent leaders. A button~selling campaign.is currently underway. Buttons reading "I helped UB bust MS" are on sale by SAMS ,..vo\unteers. . SAMS would like to expand beyond campus events and get the business community involved. Wasserman is trying for co~sponsored events, donations, product rebates and other things. Another essential element in the campaign is education. The goal is to make people aware of the disease. SAM ·s educational committee has mounted an ad campaign and a lecture series fo r medical and other stude nts. Recently, ads have appeared in The Spectrum which offer facts about MS. "MS affects people ages 18-35. the sa me age as the majority of people at the University so it's important that we get concerned," Goldberg said. "200 people a_re diagnosed with it every week. ''MS is a disease of the central nervous system that inhibits nerve impulses which command everyday functioning. Symptoms vary and no o ne knows the caUse or the cure." · Wasserman asserts that education and raising money to sponsor research are the important goals of SAM S and that the MTV concert prize is only an incentive to excel in those efforts. " Having the MTV concert here would be great, but the important pat=t is raising money for MS to find the cure and the ca use." he maintained . 0 Camino Reai From page 12 doq uen t and rhythmic as a piece of music." Ju st how will audiences react to all thi!!? Elkin says he isn't sure. Older a_udicnces familiar with the heady theat~ neal experimentation of the 1950s and 1960s "may feel a little nostalgic." Younger, college~age, crowds, however, will likely discover a theatre .. which is ava nt-garde all over again, ·• owing to the ge neral dearth of experimental theater in the U.S. today, states the director. .

Lake Wobegon has become a kind of hometown in the hearts of thousands of listeners." Led bywriter/ noweUstlautoharpist Gan:laon Keillor, owr two million people take a fanciful journey to the nctitious town of Lake Wobegon. the " liHietown that time forgot, that the decades cannot Improve, where all the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average," during weekly broadcast& of A Pratrte ltc>fM C-Ion. The program can be heard on FM88 on Saturdays at 6 p.m. and Is rebro1dcast Sund1ys at noon. Opening the show, the &-foot 4inch Keillor sings the Hank Snow song ..Hello Love" in his lofty baritone. What follows Ia two hours of music. comedy, and entertainment, with an eclectic mix of musical styles including folk, gospel, bluegrass, blues. jazz, country, and honky-tonk plano . Regular performers the Butch Thompson Trio are joined by guests such as a Scandinavian folk group performing songs In their native tongue. or people who play mus1c using only their mouths. Jncluded In every edition is a visit to the Imaginary small town via a monologue which Keillor begins apologetically with "Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon , my hometown," signalli ng to seasoned listeners that It's been far from dull there, as he presents the latest perils and deeds of the citizenry. Although Keillor has worked sometimes three days on these monolog ues, he does r:-ot carry notes on stage, nor does he memorize what he has written. He is a natural storyteller and believes that "'In telling a story, a person Is supposed to be carried away." His gilt for spinning tall tales seem·s to have been acquired from his great uncle Lew Powell , who died in 1983at the ageof93. Powell was a salesman who enjoyed just talking to people, and the young Gary Keillor, hiding in the shadows of a darkened room, would watch as the elder tale teller would seem to go Into a trance. His stories took place "about ten years on either side of the turn of the century." Uncle Lew's assemblpge of stories wasn't as numerous as Keillor's is today, but the young;l:y never tired of hearing them, e n though heh~ardsometales up ten.time~. · ~~alin~ wl!~ family and the life of the earty 1900's,· these stories helped devetop 1 sense of plica tor the young novelist. 8 orn in 1942 in Anoka, Keillor Is an· authentic Minnesot'n (as it Is properly pronounced i n Minna-- sota).

They were a very religious family, attending church twice on Sundays. Radio was allowed, however, so it played an important part in young Gary's life.

The distinct musical styles of the city's Christian, Jew· ish, Jslamic, and African peoples emerge individually. thf¥1 blerfd into a complex sound tapestry In which 15 languages are heard. Fragments of traditional songs, and fuxt8posing rhythms and scales are woven throug ~ut the oratorio, wh ich is set to the English poems of the. distinguished Israeli author Yehuda Amichai. The result Is a moving celebration of the ancient religious roots of humankind, as they are deeply felt in a city where so much belief is packed into a small area. ''Jerusalem, " w~ has been staged in Rome, Israel. and New York , was inspired by a trip Ms. Swados took several years ago to the Holy Land . during which Mr. Am ichai acted as her guide. Ust~ ing to the diverging and convefging music all around her, Ms. Swadol decided " Jerusalem is a sound city. I set out nor to depict a naturaltstic, realistic . state ment about lhe Mideast today, or to present a linear dramatic piece. I wanted to create a dream, a musical tour.'' She subsequently developed her idea with a grant from the Ford Foundation. Last year, in a review of a produc~ lion at La Mama Experimentat Theatre in New York, the New York Time5 called " Jerusalem " "an uplifting musical concordance.. performed with "the fervor of a street festival ." "Jerusalem" follows a succession of theatrical triumphs for Eliz.abefh who, at 34. has already created ·a body of work that establishes her as a major artistic force in American musical theater.

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

China's biggest environmental .headache is deteriorating ai r and water quality, particularly in urban areas. The Chinese. he riotes , use high sulphur coal for cooking, and for in,dustrial power.

It's UB's entry in the 1985 International Human Powered Vehicle Associa· tion's contest which was held at Indian apolis Speedway in Indiana in September. One of many designs of a new kind of vehicle that is a modified bicycle, except that this design has three wheels. the vehicle designed and built by students of UB'; Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering averaged 34.35 miles per hour in the 200-meter race. The fastest vehicle reached speeds of 59 miles per hour. Even though this ve hicle; placed only 37th in the speed contest. similar vehicles with linear drives have not been able to exceed 39 miles per hour. The UB vehicle was the fastest linear drive ve hicle entered in the Ind ianapolis· race . Three other linear drive vehicles were entered. Asserting that the vehicle could break the record for a linear drive vehicle, Michael Sobolewski, a UB engineering student, said, "This vehicle cou ld go 4045 miles per hour.·· All whee ls arc 24-inch bicycle tires modified with special bladed spokes. The small wheels have less rolling resistance than standard 27-inch bicycle tires. . "When you are pedaling a standard bicycle. 90 per cent of your effort is to res1st the wind pressure," said Sam T . Wildofsk;t. the engineering student. who drove the vehicle in Indianapolis. The vehicle has a housing that was designed by the current class of engineering students. The linear drive mechanism allows the housing to have a small frontal area. thus reducing the aerod)'namic drag. Other drive systems have a large gear in the front , requiring a taller housing. Designed in airfoil shape with a small spoiler on the bottom. the housing is made from fiberglass with a foaltj plastic underside. The spoi ler reduces underflow· of air and any undesired lift which might pull the ve hicle off the ground. Ronald M . Reit z. one of the UB engi·neeri ng students who worked on the project , has speculated that solid wheels might reduce the drag caused by the wheels. Reitz's paper on the vehicle won secq nd prize in an American ·I nstitute of Aeronautics a nd Astronautics contest for student papers. 0 T ne of the advantages of th e linear drive is that the pedal stroke length is adjustable to any driver.

By PATRICIA M. COSTANZO " W e _have a fellow here fro_m L1ege. He has dev~loped · a method of adding iron nitrate to clays and this seems to result in sqme interesting catalytic properties. Would you and your grad students be interested in coming over to the Chemistry Department to hear this sc;minar?" This simple telephone call from Bob Kurland , professor of chemistry at' UB, to my advisor. Dr. R.F. Gjcso. was the beginning of my adventures irr Europe. Dr. Giese. a clay mint;ralogist in the Geology Department of SUNYBuffalo, along with his graduate st udents (including myself) went to hear'what Professor Pierre Laszlo. from the lnstitut de Chimie of the Universite de Liige au Sart-Tilman in Liege. Belgium, had to say. The things that Dr. Laszlo was doing with clays interested us very much. Because our questions interested Dr. Laszlo we continued our conversation right through dinner. Before dinner had ended Dr. Laszlo inviteO me to come to Belgium to work in his organic chemistry laboratory, but from the clay mineralogist's point of view. On September I. 1984 my daughter Rebecca and I left Buffalo to live in Liege for six month~. While Rebecca. who was 15 at the time. would complete her stud ies via a mail correspondence course and attend a French-speaking "lycee" to make friends and to learn the culture. I was to work. full-time in the labs at the new university, which, because it is located in the little village of Sart-Tilman. is referred to as Sart-Tilman to differentiate it from the old university which is located in ttie city of Liege. The buildings of Sart-Tilman are located on top of a small. elongate, forested ridge that is part of the foothills of the Ardenne Mountains. The academic system in Europe is. in many ways, quite different from that in the United States. The students in the university are called university students. while those in high school are referred to as cQIIege students. University pr:ofs arc required to give mid-term and final oral e ~am inations. and may or may not give written exams. A group of professors. collectively. passes judgement on each student in turn. Performance on the oral exam is the factor that determines if the student passes or fails. The oral finals at Liege are grueling; they may take up to three days per class. The students are not scheduled for their exams, so t.hat all must report each day until their name is.oflfndomly called. The exams start at 8 a.m. and continue until 10 p.m. each day. The cafeterias close at the end of the semester, so for finals each student must provide his own lunch. All of the classes in the Colleges, and many in the university, "'are conducted without textbooks. The stUdents have only their notes to stud y from. The university, which is a liule richer than ·the colleges, is able to provide its students with ladies' and men's restrooms (or simply toilets in Europe). The college my daughter attended provides only one toilet room for all, males and females, teachers and students alike, and fully expects that espite the asthetic appeal of the setting, the buildings are often D phr.sically They are all u~comfortable. bu1lt of reinforced concrete. This gives ~~:u~:tiil~~~~o~~J~~~~r~~~n~:;~ t~o noor, and the rooms are as damp and as cold as those in a castle built from stone. Wood is scarce in Europe, anrl therefore expensive to use for building purposes. The availabilit.y of lumber is not the only consideration when choosing building materials in northern Europe. If wood were available. the extreme humidity would rot it in just a few years. Modern private homes usc steel beams and poured concrete even for upper story noors. Besides a scarcit y of wood in Europe, there is an extreme shonage of money. Supporting research is difficult. Until recently. Lie~e was one of the leaders of Belgian mdustry. Its ~~:t~~~ ~ffs~to~h:~ff~~~o;; :~~~ and depressed coal and steel market, and of the growth of high technology in the north (there is fierce rivalry betwen the Flemish-speaking northerners and the French-speakin~ Walloonese of the so uth), the Belg1an government gave generously to build and stock the new university at Sart-Tilman in hopes of creating a new. self-sustaining economy. Unfortunately, this was a one-time investment and that money is now nearly gone.

Of course this high level of - productivity might be aided by the fact that many of the scientists and technioians have salaries tota)ly funded by grant money, and that in Europe a great deal of obedience and respect is commanded by those who bear the title of Professor. Only <the head of a department is ever a Professor. all the other scientists are referred to as a doctor or simply as a scientisr.. There is a complex hierarchy that must be . strictly followed. Wben ~he . Profess!"< IS in the department there IS httle sOCial contact within the group; everyone works and works in silence. Even the technicians are expected to contribute to the scientific end of things and are expected to do research and publish jus\ as the scientists do_. In Laszlo's lab everyone, including his head secretary, was required to write a twcrthree-page work rtport every two w~ks. Oh! How especially at the 4 p.m. coffee break; a daily ritual attended by all. At this level. there are no class or cultural · barriers. M I grew to know and to love these people I learned many things I had fgrgotten, or had never known, . living in our fast paced America. so distant from Europe. . To add to our discomfort, we soon lear'ned that Americans are not necessarily well thbught of. Most Europeans really do carry an image of the "ugly Amencan." It W8$ always assumed that we were rich- "Aren' all 1\merieans?" Their prototype for the average American citizen comes from television shows such as "Dallas" and "Dynasty," which Are both aired in Europe. I was often asked if all American women are spoiled, selfish, stupid. and concerned only with makeup, hairstyles, fashion. and sex, just as they arc on the American soaps. • Capitalism continues to be thought of as an evil that makes all Americans materialistic. One of the Europeam' deepest concerns is about our aui!ude toward them and our missile bases. Especially the yowrg people think that •He think or the continent and her people as expendable satellites. They feel that the presence of our missiles makes them the prime and principal target for Russian missiles, aod that we, so far away, are nearly immune to nuclear auack. They were genuinely surprised when I explained that not any of the Americans I know share these feelings, and that the American public is very much concerned about the possibilitY. of missiles falling on American so1l. The need for " communication between the peoples of Europe and us is too apparent to me, In France I was given a compliment!'at the expense of my country. a woman said to me .. You are nice, you are not like an American ... W neither .a telephone, automobile or ith over 3,000 miles of otean between us and home and having "The new university in the foothills of the Ardennes is built of concrete; it has a heaviness." we all hated this time consuming chore. but never once did we not hand in ·our reports. In fact . many of 4S would stay glued to an Apple until late at night. The fear of not handing in "The Report " on time was so great that some of the scientists would work until the last bus into the city left. and they had no choice but to sleep on tbinly carpeted cement floors, or take the one and one-half hour walk to their homes in the city. When Laszlo was not in the lab. everyone relaxed by several degrees. One reason for this is that the "Professor" has complete control over their present jobs. and by way of letters of recommendation. over their future employments. One seldom jokes with "the boss." There arc. of course. bright sides to research in Liege. One of the most important is the ability of the researchers to continuously produce results. in spite or difficulties or shortages. Another is the quickl y made. deep warm friend ships among all the workers in the lab. at lunch and Director of PubUc 'Atfairs HARRY JACKSON Executive Ectitor, University Publ ications .ROBI!m•'f!

The weather was no comfon , it was generally unpleasant, cool, grey, and extremely humid, typical of the northern European countries ovor which the Westerlies carry moist air from the Channel. It rains more than 200 days a year in Belgium. and when it isn' raining it is almost always cloudy. Our apartment. built of brick and stone, had windows that faced north and so received only a few moments of sun each day, assuming it wasn't ntining. Because of this. and the fact the Europeans are a much hardier foil. than we and believe that there is no necessity to heat the home (or school or industry) between the end of April and sometime after September. the humidity inside our apartment. frequently, reached the saturation point.' My hand-washed stockingSneeded a minimum of four days to dry. and the only way to prevent my collection of salt crystals from dissolving was to put them into a dessicator in the lab. When the humidity turned to precipitation we learned that our kitchen skylight had no less than six leaks, a nd we had only three buckets.

Volume ,7, No. 12 day for most of us, I would trade my labcoat for a raincoat, arm myself with my umbrella, and walk to the bus stop. On the way there was a large thermometer on the ouiSide wall of the house of the concierge. Most often it would either read a degree or two warmer than the thermometer in the· lab or be the s•me as the interior temperature. This made getting warm a real challenge. , Because of the gracious lifestyle of the people in Europe , you can always find flower shops, bakeries , (boulangeries}, and a few wine and tobacco stores open on Sunday. Alth~ugh we were relatively segregated from the day-to-day social life of Liege, the people's custom of never visiting without bringing Oowe"' or pastries to · their -hosts was soon made viSible to us as we traveled the city's buses. The majority of the citizens of Liege nill do their local traveling by bus and riding buses can give a foreigner .a good picture of the country's life. On Saturdays, Sondays, and the religious holid.ays, people- of all ages would board the buses armed with bouqueiS qf flowers or prettil~ wrapped packages of worl<! famous Belgian pastry to visit . their friends and relatives. 8 ~ausc \ Belgium, qpecially Liege, is predominantly Catholic, it .was honored by a_visit ,from Pope Paul. The Pope, during his visit, had real reservations about the devotion of his Belgian lambs, and the Belgians had ~~~~u~~,e~::~o~~nac~~~~~~ ~::~ much the visit would cost them. To host a per on of the Pope's rank costs a lot of money. A visit such as this demands linancial consideration not only. M the social aspects but also of a high level of securi ty. Many people (church-goers and non-<:hurch-goers) • were upset about their hard earned tax dollars being spe nt in this manner. Some people did benefit from the Pope's visit to Liege - the garbage collectors. A week before the Holy Father was to be in Liege the garbage men went on strike. In liege. it is a law that all garbage must be put out at the curb neatly confined in brown plastic garbage bags. Usually two or three bags a week would suffice an '3verage family. This amount of ga rbage at the curb doesn' sound too threatening unless you realize that .the most popular types of housing in Belgium is high rise apartments. With tens of families at each address the situatiOn soon took on alarming proportions with literally mountains of garbage lining the sidewalks. Although the number of hot, humid-days in Liege that summer were few, three of those days blessed the city just before the Pope's visit. To walk the streets in nasar comfort required conslant adjustment to avoid any breeze that blew from the mountains of garbage that were becoming moie ripe each day. The day before Pope Paul arrived , the city agreed to the union demands and an intensive garbage co11ection was launched. but only along the Pontifical route. Those of us who lived in areas of the city not blessed by His Holiness·s presence spent as much time a~ possible indoors .... One of our favorite pastimes was to frequent some of the thousands of pubs that were found on practically every street in Liege. The amount of beer consumed in Belgium is second only to that of Germany. a much larger country. The Belgians boast of over 500 different kind s of beer: There is light, medium, and dark beer. There is beer made with fruit - cherry. lemon and lime, for example. There. are so me that are referred to as Trapp1st. These beer-like drinks are made by monks in abbeys located throughout Belgium. I was not able to visit any of these · abbeys because, although they are open to the public, women are not all_owed to enter. even to attend the servaces. Each Trappist brew is unique. and they are so powerful thai their alcoholi~ content (up to 12%) is marked on tbe cap so 1hat one can tell what kind of experienCe to ei.pect. This is notable in a country that bas no law requiring content labeling. What I enjoyed most, besides the warm friendliness of the people, was to sip a Belgian coffee (the best in the world) served with a piece of Belgian chocolate. The really elepnt cafes would serve a truffe - a soft milk chocolate in a hard cllocolale shell which is rolled in bitter cocoa - along with coffee. Even Coca-Col~ts royal treatment in Belgium. A small glass bottle (the kind you never see here anymore) of "Coca" and a tall, narrow glass filled with ice cubes and garnished with a slice of lemon was delivered to your table on a tray by a waiter who would pour half of the bottle in the glass for you before setti ng them both on the table in front of you. What elegance! The pa"se that refreshes will never be the same. All in -all, my stay in. Liege" was a rewarding and productive experience. During my visi t I was the co-organizer of the Annual Meeting of the Belgian Clay Contact Group .. Bec~use Liege is the crossroads of Europe we had speakers and guests from England, France, Wales, and Germany; as well as from all parts of Belgium and even from the United States. My research resulted in a paper now in preparation 1 on the Effect of Prebiotic Organic Molecules on the Evolution of Cl~ like Minerals. and in the submissio of a patent. which concerns some of th work I did with clay films. I have learned that there is a large world ou t there populated by wonderful warm people who think , act. and have a philosophy different from mine. Their way seem to work well for them. They are healthy and relaxed and know how to enjoy all parts of . life. I don' know if I could successfully live in their society on a long term basis. but I do know that they have enriched my conce ption of the meaning of life and friendship.

Michel, who was chosen to replace editor-in-chief Chris Shaw at the end of last month, has taken the lead of the editorial board with enthusiasm and a desire to make the paper a prominent influence in the University commu!lity. "The purpose of the paper should be to ex pres$ an opinion, the student opinion," she said. • Michel developed this vi ion of What U B's student paper sho uld become during the two-a nd-one-half years that she has been associated with T/Ie Spectrum ''I'm not here to upset things, but I'm not here to please either ... . I won't compromise editorial policy for advertisers or for fear .that it may upset the administration .. The Spectrum is an important part of US and should keep students informed: .. ." as a writu and minorit¥ affairs editor. Despite this familiarity w1tb the workings of the paper and the desire to make some changes, however, Michel was reluctant to submit her name for consideration for the editor-in-chief position. "Part of me wanted the job but another part of me said that I mar not get it and that it may interfere With my school work," she recalls. • Her ambitions for t.he paper out- weighed her reservations, and one minute before deadline she submitted a statement of purpose which put her in the running for the non-paid position. She subsequently was elected by a vote of the editonal board. Michel is the third woman who has served as editor-in-chief and, a native of Haiti, she is the first black to hold the position. The button she wears which reads " Respect and protect the black woman" testifies to the fact that she is proud of both of these statistics. Michel pointed to her backgro und working for The Spectrum and The Buffalo New• as factors which will influence her performance in the editor's slot. Call· ing The Spectrum her "first love on campus," she has been involved with the stu· dent paper since transferring to U B's Communication Department from Queens College. She first served as a staff writer ana then moved through the ranks to serve as thCfirst minority affairs editor, a position that she proposed be created as part of the editorial board . "Being involved with The Spec/rum has been a great opportunity to have inp ut at UB," she noted . Last summer Michel interned at The Buffalo News. serving as a writer for the "Lifestyles" section. Also during that time she was awarded a S I,000 scholarship from the Buffalo Black Media Coali- tion for "achievement in· collegiate journalism and high potential for professiOnal · jour~illil'lll( she_ add.ell,. ichel ha's several obstacles to overcome before she can begin to bol· ster the paper's prestige. Although she has a full·sized edi torial' staff of 20, there are M office. She commented that past editors have kept a closed door belween them- selves and the writing staff, creating an Another difficulty facing Michel is overcoming a large debt accumulated during past years of misin811agement by the paper's business staff. Michel noted atmosphere of '5uperiority and sub. ordination. " I have an open door policy . .. and try to keep the hierarchy as unstruc,ured as possible," she said. *Like a machine, all of our parts need \0 work together well." Also lO facilitate a cooyerative atmosphere, Michel calls meeungs open to all staff wheneveran editorial decis1on needs to be made. Michel's open door policy is extended to all U B students. The paper is run by stu<lents for students. she maintains, and she wants more people to become · involved. "I want all students to know that The Spectrum is opeD to them - we welcome st udent input and want all students to be involved,,. she said. . Adding that writing for the paper is a good opportunity for professional experience for students of all majors, especially English. Michel said her entire staff is ready to welcome newcomers and show them the ropes. • Michel plans to maintain 't he traditional make-up of the paper, with some modifications. She hopes to eventually decrease the amount of advert ising as the debt becomes more manageable and incre~ the number of "op-ed" and "feedbac1<" pa~es. ' "This is a cucle though," she noted . ..Students have to hand in more for this to happen." She also expects to print more photo essays, like recent backpage photos of Capen lobby traffic and Wingfest. "Students like to see themselves in their paper," she commented, The most apparent contribution that Michel will make, however, will be found in her editorials. This is an enjoyable pan of her new poshion, an opponunity to voice student concerns, which she haS done,.in the past by organizing campus protests on issues like the SUNY change m billing policy. While expressing The '(i{Mctrum stand on an issue in her editorials, she hopes to stir controversy and elicit faculty and student response. "I'm not here to upset things but I'm not here to please either," Michel said. " I won\ compromise editorial policy for our advertisers or for fear that 1t may upset the administration .... The Spectrum is an important part of UB and should keep studeats informed." Among the cumnt student issues she plans to address is a recent change in the age of financial independence. Before a recent resolut(.on was passed, students oould claim independence from their parents at the age of 22; now that minimum age has been raised to 24. Students should also be concerned about impending financial aid cuts propo5l'd by President Reagan, she added. that the business manager is accountable only to the editor-in-chief, who most often has no background in accounting, economies, and financial management. " In 1983 the business manager doubled n her shon tenure as editor-in-chief, Michel has already become aware of · Imany negative and positive as pee oft he few staff writers and reporters working for the paper this semester, making it necessary for editors to contribute articles regularly. Much of the staff shortage can be ·attributed to a change in the requirements of a special s~ction of English 202, an advanced writing class. •The class used to be set up so that the 12 to 20 students enrolled would have to write ei$ht to 12 articles f6r us to pass the· class. Smce then, the instructor has left and tbe new instructor doesn't re~uire that his students write for us." MIChel explained. This change affects the present and the, future of the paper, she added, since most of the editors and staf( reporters tradi· tionally &rl' students wh9 ~gan working for the paper while taking thaf class. The majoritr of Michel's current editorial board, meluding herself, took the journalism class, and the change in class procedures threatens to break this continuity. his salary and we didn't know about it until the end of the year audit was done by the University . ... Last year•s business manager kept reporting that we were getting out of debt but now we're more in the hole than we were lastyear, .. she said ... We have to do something to make the business manager more honest and true to The Spectrum." Currently the business staff is working with Michel to revise the business manager position to prevent the de bt ~ from growing. They are also trying to manage th e deficit. The paper, operated as an independent corporation housed on University property. is funded only through advertising revenue and has no other income from student or other organizations. "In the past we've had to ask for loans from SA and S ub-Board; this year we've just been asl<ing them to pay for their advertising up front and increasing the amount of advertising in the paper in order to get the revenue to publish, .. Michel explained. ichel's first effort as editor-in-chief bas been to create a friendly, cooperative ~.IIJoO~pl_le!" ,in Tht Spectrum ;r M position. On the negative side, her work at the paper has taken away from the time she spends on the work required for the classes she's taking this semester. She is carryin$ a 16-credit course load and gets no credit for her work on The Spectrum. Her position also has detracted from her social life. "Once you become editor-in-chief you're no longer free, you're married to the paper," she said. On a more positive note. the position has given her an excellent opportunity to explore career options. She came to UB with a general interest in the media, but her work with The Spectrum has helped her define a focus. " ow I know that I'm definitely interested in print journalism. After UBI plan to go to.J!rad school for journalism and to law sc6ool. After that I'd like to be a polit' al "\Porter," Michel explained. Despite the temporary stalling of her social and academic life, Michel maintains that the positive aspects of her new job make it worthwhile. "I enjoy what I'm doing so that balances ev~~qi~ pu! 1 ~ sl)e co)lpludq;j; 0 �HAROLD "DMIIE" LATOUR Pesitielt: CJess: THE lorward SP.OIOf Age: 21 lleitlot 6'4 ..... sdoeel: OeW•H Chnton Tbe Bronx.

Friedenberg said in one of a series of lectures he gave · here last · · week. Friedenberg is the feisty, outspoken 1960s youth gu ru whose books \The Vanishing Adolescent and Coming of Age in Anierica were considered "must reading" 15 years ago when he taught here. P Friedenberg left UB in 1970'<fiti'ing the height of campus turmoil over U.S. tnvolvcment in Vietnam for a position at Dalhou~ic University in ova Scotia.

Like American youths. young Canadian!'~ feel that achieving adult status is at lca!l.t partially based on the financial mdcpcndcncc that comes with securing a permanent jo ''This leaves the youth category openended in Can a . "he said. '' Its members arc not nccessa · v youn¥: they'rt; more like the 'corner s' m William F. Whyte's classic Street Corner Society of a half century ago. A youth culture can not form under s uch conditions because there is not enough sense of separateness from ad ult s. and no sense whatever of enjoying a moratorium. You're just put on hold indefinitely. and sometimes under conditions of such privation that there can really be no sense of community.'' hicdcnberg observed. ' What one finds in Canada instead of a you th culture. says Friedenberg, is a plethora of"'issue-orieotcd semi-subcultures" conce rned with suc h issues as the environme nt . women's reproductive rights, gay libera tion. and a host of other causes. In fact. one can find most every kind of special interest group except the "grossly neoconservative celebrants of personal privilege that have established themselves so conspicuously in the environs of Dartmouth College. .. And may God continue to spare us"that. he interjected With a snicker. "To Canadian students. flaunting your conservatism and pride of privilege would be like bragging about being white. It 's not only in bad taste and possi~ bly a viqla tion hf Canada's still rather sq ueak y human-rights legislation, but it suggests yo u fear people wouldn' know what you arc unless you told them." Absence of fi revolutionary spirit also works against development' of a youth culture, he sa id . This doesn't mean that Canadians arc passive, Friedenberg explained. just that rebellion is not part of the Canadian psyche. "A youth cuhure can only develop:· Friedenberg believes, among young people "who share a common, albeit ephemeral, belief in their moral right to assert and, indeed, dramatize their difference from their elders and their elders' culture. anadian youth, in Freidenberg's opinion. do not face the intergeneraC tional hostility that encourages development of a youth culture in the U.S. In fact, he contends that Americans are the onlr social group which Canadians feel free 10 show hostility towards. which only goes to show, he says, .. how hung up on being nice" they really arc. .. Where a hostile American adult would attack the young - sometimes fatally - an equally hostile Canadian would be more likely to patronize. This is harder to deal with. but easier to live with. This is not to say, however. that the level of general hostility is lower in Canada than in t-he U.S. , Friedenberg notes. To the contrary, the celebrated author and educator maintains. it is higher. But Canadians. he elaborates. don't expcrietJCC "peaks of rage and violence that disfigure - and so metimes also ornament - the American way of life. " Where American society tends to be infuriating." he continues, .. Canadian society tends to be depressing. Where Amenca'n society tends to be joyful and passionate. Canadian society tends to be cautious. which also gets to be depressing ... What " oppressive for Canadian youth, Friedenberg says. is not the overt hostility such as American youths face from their elders. but rather the .. caution .. which seems inherent in the Canadian culture, plus the elders· "lack of trust in the future and their consequent lack of hopeful vision... f According to Friedenberg, these traits seem paradoxical in a country so rich in natural and human resources. onetheless it is a .. common conditi on," one he believes is tied io Canada 's "'prolonged and p~deful a~ptance of its colonial status. \ Friedenberg a ·cused the media in Canada and the U.S. of'oflen .. reinforcing and va lidating" images of ado lescents which are • ublly if not blatantly hostile; images. he says, which often portray them as "irresponsible, as vanda ls, and as drug abusers." He thinks it iror 1C that adults criticize adolescents for r <hi biting many of the same skills. rol.:s. and attitudes they would lind app·.aling in other aduhs. yet hold adolesccrts "personally responsible for their defir.1encics and delinquencies. "There is a kind of perverse hypocrisy at work h1..re ... Friedenberg thinks. " We .ignore r"'.! ways in which members of a particul.tr social group arc entrapped by the circumstances of their lives. except insofar as these circumstances mold their characters and personalities. Then we try to improve their characters by education, therapy. and judicial sanction while leaving unchanged and largely unexamined the social forces that have trapped them" to begin with. hat's e ncour aging. Friedenberg finds, is the emergence of a new genre of criti cally acclaimed films. popular in both Canada and the United S tates. that treat you th respectfully; films such as .. The Breakfast Clu b;· .. Vision Quest .. and .. I ~ Candles:· .. The young people in these films arc not patroni7.ed. ridiculed, wept over, or treated as psychological or social problems." Rather. he continued. they are •·preSented just as older characters aJ:e: as persons. constrained by circumstance to live as best they can wi th in the limits set by their social roles ... Anot her hopeful sign. Friedenberg notes. is that these film s suggest that Canadian and American cultu res are experiencing "'a dcdine in the val ue of machismo." Young male protagonists featured in them arc allowed to show their fee lings more readily and "to claim nurturancc and affection from people of either gender when they need it. -Though ·with women the break in tradition is less obv ious. Friedenberg rejoices that there arc "no pom-pom girls" among the female protagonists. Young female leads .. often portray characters that are ··a$&res_sive and correspondingly less bitchyhostile - and more competent." W To what does Friedenberg credit this soc ial awakening? On a basic level. he simply feels that youth are being shown in a more positive light because "they're sick of paying 10 be insuhed.

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

L The Greeks By JILL-MARIE ANOIA ike a phoenix rising from the ashes. fraternities and sOrorities are enjoying new life at U B, a rebirth that follows more than a decade of ba nishment from !he SUNY system . Greek traditions at UB began before the turn oft he century, were stalltd.for 14 years in the '60s and 70s. and now enjoy·a steadily increasingly popularity. More than mere social clubs. soro rities and fraternities offer their members camaraderie. academic encouragement, and an opportunity for community service. The greeks were a real in(luencc on cam pus in the 1950s. and could be again. according to Dr. Richard Siggelkow. professor emeritus of counseling and educational psychology who came here in the late 50s. He estimates that greeks were about 10 per cen1 of the student population then. but took· turns in c'o ntrolling most of the activities - lhe yearbook. The Spectrum. the Student Association. "The· greeks were responsible for a great deal oC student service. They had study and exam services and provided friendship and support," Siggelkow noted ...They made it no_t so easy to get lost in the crowd here .... He feh the system was weak. however, primarily because the organizations. lacked housing. There was no "greek row .. lined with columned houses that the brothers lind sisters could call home. The University fccognite<t that shortcoming and made plans to remedy it. "We actually had blueprints fora series of houses facing Main Street, to be located where the subway station now sta nd s," Siggelkow recalls: "They were going to be for a mix of greek and indep'e-R.dent students. every other house or so mething." The decision 10' become a state university interfered, however. and "the whole idea was junked.~ This was only a minor stumbling block for the greeks compared to the SUNY~Idc ban. on fraternities and so rorities. Imposed m the late '60s. Apparently the work of a cha ncellor who disliked fraternities, the ban prohibited any socia l fraternity or so rority with a national affiliation from operating on SUNY campuses. "II really wasn't fair." says Siggelkpw .. . A long legal battle ensued. Fraternity and so rorit)'members argued in court for th e right to continue as before. but the . They're enjoying new life at UB final ruling upheld the legali!Y of the ban·. Siggelkow suggests the students might have had more success in court if they had argued ins tead for their right to association. · The ban forc;:ed most chapters to resign th~ir national charters: only one UB soronty was abl e tQ thrive off carripus. The C~i Qmega sisters purchased a house .on Ntagara Falls Boulevard and retained th eir o ri ginal charter. For the most part. however. the greeks were gone. Their departure left a void in student le adership. Siggelkow recalls. ''Some stud~n\ s did emerge as campus leaders but organization was missing and there was no continuity any more." . In 1977. almost as mysteriou sly a!\ it ~ad been initially imposed. the ban was lifted. "With a stroke of the pen the Trustees decided greeks were to be allowed back. No one really knows why," Siggelkow said. "but that year they finally paid attenuon to students }who were rallying for the return ... T oday more than 20 grcCk organiza- tions are represented here. The specific number is hard to determine, because the numbers seem to change daily. noted Larry Alperin, president of the Inter Greek Council (IGC). ·:My chart of the active groups is outdated the day it's made." he. addc;d.

All hough the g reek system is growing. no clear agreement on th e cau~e for the increase seems to exist. Siggelkow attributes the growth to' a natural and perpetual cycle in student lifestyles and interests. "Things come a nd. go. the unrest will come back too: it has been obser\'cd that every quarter of a ccn- ···--- --- tury a new movement arises." he observes. Ira Hart, president of Kappa Alpha PS"i, sees the rise of the greeks as the outgrowth of a national trend toward ...conservatism. "People these days are moving back to basics. getting away from the '60s and · 10s feeling that.rou should do yo ur own thmg. : .. Fraternities mean togetherness. good umes. connec;tions. so mething good to put on you r resume, and a chance to be ~ a part of things," he offered. Others view the curroot growth as having more to do with natural momentum on the campus than with any national trend s. .

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

Sample also announced his three '- major objectives for the coming year: • Securing a "firm and. irreversible commitment" to completing a minimal build-out of the two U B campuses by 1989. • Attaining a "much higher" level of externally-sponsored support for research and other academic programs.

Indeed it is only wothin the past few years that the general public have begun to realize what a great asset it i for ew York to have one publicly-supported campu that offers a full range of academic and professional programs. A a conse· quence, more , ew Yorken come from all over the State to tudy at UB at every-level - baccalaurellte, mllSier's,' profesional, doctoralllnd postdoctoral - than come to ""Y other campus in the Sy tern. , S , Y- Buffalo offers nearly 300 registered <Iegree program , of ,.b.ich 3 are at the doctoralle>·el Some 93 of our undergraduate and graduate pTOgram offered onl,o at the Buffalo Center v.uhin the S NY S) In fact there are more of these one-of-a-kind programs oflered at the Buffalo Center than at all of the other nate-op<rated campuses combined. or are these unoque programs concentrated in obscure or esoteric an:as.. For example, this os tht only campu in State Unh-ersity where a otudent CILD. study chemical or ci\·il tnganctrinJ~ or earn a professaonal degree in law, archite<:ture. or pharmacy, or otud)' for a doctoratr in management or hnguisucs or oral b1ology or geography. ) At the doctoral levclthe unique role of the Buf~nter within SU Y i especially pronounced. Buffalo offers more doctoral-le•-el progrants, and grants more doctoral-kvel degrees, than the other three uni>'CI'Sity centers combined. And while SU Y-Buffalo bas the largest undergraduate enrollment in State Unh"ersity, it bas the largest graduate and profewonal enrollment 111'011. Indeed, this campus enrolls a higher p<rcentage of iu otudenu at tbe graduate level, and grants a higher p<rcentage of iu degrees at the doctoral level, thllD any other campus in the System. Post-doctoral programs, while not registered degree programs on the formal sense, are becommg an increasing)} omportant pan of the total pectrum of American higher education.

It should be noted that only thret unive~ities in New York - Cornell, Columbia and S Y-Buffalo - stand among the top 20 onsututoon> nationally in terms of post-doctoral enrollments. h is cntouraging to note that our applicatiens and enrollments at all levels continue to be '-ery strong. Thi fall we exceeded our targeted enrollments for both undergraduate freshmen and beginning graduate tudenu . I was esp<eially pleased that our enrollment at the graduate level increased by nearly 200 students. T he Repon of the Independent Commission was also timely and imponan\ l.ll another respect, in that it emphasized the vital contribution that the SU Y S) tern can and must male to tht economic development of ew York State. The Commtssion empnatically stated that the economic intcre ts of thl~ State arc inextricably tied to SU; Y's graduate education and research mi sions. It challenged ·y and the tate to develop aggressively the immense potenual of the State University in these t\lro domaons, esp<eially at the major doctoral centers. From the perspective of SUNY-Buffalo, regional economic re\iltali1:ation is both a challenge and an exceptional opportunity. UB is now sten throughout Western New Vorl as a leader and key player on the communi ty·widc team that is cooperating to enhance the economic viability of thi area of the State. In fact, in the minds of many political and business leaders, SUNY-Buffalo is thr essential catalyst for the economic rcvita1iz.ation of this region. Several major endeavors now under way iridicate the central role U B is beginning to play in economic developmenL The first high-technology incubator in the SUNY System was established on our campus 18 ~~nth.s ago. This incubator, wh1eh IS op<rated on cooperation wtth the Western New York Technology Development Center (TDC), has spawned 13 ne~ firms in _the past yea~ alone, and is now the most successful mcubator m the State 1n terms of the development of new companies. Because of this remarkable achievement, the New York tate Urban challenge put forth by the lndep<ndent Commis ion. The Unwt'.rsuy at .Buffalo is also collaborating with other orgamzauons in the community to enhancx the general qualit) of hfe in thiS region. Special mention needs to be made of a songular event that was held on our campus thos past summer - the 1985 Em~ire State Games. The largest amateur athletic compeution m the United States. the Games provided a up<rb opportunity for coop<ration among all segment of the local community. The sharing of our magnificent athletic facilnies with Citizens fro around Lbe State, as well as the statewide reco~tion the niversity received, have contnbuted ubuanually to the grpwing feelings of pnde that people have in this camp~ Another acuvity m this same \.'ein is our continuing dose coop<rauon "'ith the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. I am especially pleased that the orchestra's brilhant new conductor. Semyon B}-chko . has accepted an appointment as adjunct Professor of \.tusic at SUNY-Buffalo. This year has also seen th~ ini tiation of a new mini~sc.rics of Buffalo Philharmonic concertS on our campus. A funher demonstration of our commitment to the loca.l community is our upport of the SEFA , United Way Campaign. During the three-year perood from 1981 to 1984, SU Y-Buffalo increased its contributions from SJ35,000 to S274,000 - an oncrease of more than I , and the largest three-year oncrease registered by any major employer on the Niagal'a Frontier. I am very pleased to announce today that SU Y-Buffalo is rapidly approaching its goal of contributing $320.000 toward the 1985 SEFA nited Way Camplllgn, "hoch will represent an'i ncreasc: of more than 135<!T; O\"Or four years. It should be noted on passing that the annual contribuuons from UB exceed by two~hundred perttnt tht combm~d annual contribution of the other three unt\'CJ"\ity ccnttrs. Finally, we have been "orking closely with the Buffalo Public hools durong the past year to explore the possobolity ot establ~hing one or t\\.o new magnet high schools on our south campus. It no" app<ars likely that two such schools, operated b}' the Buffalo Board of Education. will op<n in P~rker Hall in the fall of 1986. Both school will be oriented toward prepar1ng tudents to enter colleges and universities. and both ,.;u draw upon our own faculty for the development of curricu1um and enrichment of inStruction. One of these new schools, tentatively named in honor of Leonardo da Vinci, will place heavy emphasis on integrative 1 instruction in the Lraditional liberal arts and the developmel'\1 of critical 'lhinking. The other school will serve the needs of the city for an honors high school sp<eializing in the science . It is anticipated that this second school will be develop<d in close coop<ration with the faculty of Buffalo State College. I CllD also report progress in the development of the athletics program here at UB. The SUNY Board of Trustees adopted a new policy last year calling for each campus to appoint an athletics board of control in compliance with the rules and regulations of the ational Collegiate Athletic "The passage of the 1985-86 budget was a clear sign of the State's growing recognition of the importance .of public higher education." • "It appears likely that two magnet high schools to be operated by the Buffalo Board of Education will open in Parker Hall in the fall of 1986." �Oc:lobef 31 ' 1M$ VCIMM 17, No. 10 "We must ensure that the last brick will be laid and the last piece of sod will be put in place by the end of 1989 for both North and South Campus b~jilding projects." from the faculty, nafT. and our alumni association. AJ iu first ordC1" of business the Board is formulating a five-year plan for the development a.nd strengthening of our intercollegiate athletics program. Of great interest to all of us usociated with the University is the eKtraordinary succcs.s we have had in attracting new leadership of the highest caliber to lr.ey positio.os. In recent months we have announced the appointmt'ntl. of lhn::e new deans and a new dim:tor of libraries. Each of these academic leaders was tdentified through an aggress.-e national search, and eaeh was the candidate of first ehol<lC. I am delighted to olficially welcome Dr. Thomas F.

M . Barbara Von Wahlde. our new Director or University Libraries. Will be JOining us in January. Our accomplishment in the 19844!5 academic year ha'"' carried u to new heights in our quesffor excc:Ucncc. We arc clearly a university on the: mo..vc. However. to continue: this forward momentum ""' must now look to the future, and to the three objectives I mentioned at the ouuet of this add res . ne major objective in 19 6 is to work actively toward securing a firm commi raut from the Stale for completing. by t end of this decade. a minimal build-out of our north anti south campuses. The acadtmic damage that 0 "This year we anticipate that the total volume of research and sponsored programs will ex<;eed $60 million, but even at that level we are well below comparable campuses around the coun~ has been done by delaying the completion of our two campuses is incalculable. Moreover. it seems iron1c that the SU , Y institution with the largest enrollment and the most comprehensive mission has languished unfinj hed for nearly a quarter of a century. while so many other campuses serving ~o many fewer students have been completed. ow is tbt: time for all of us - students. faculty. administrators, alumni . Council members, Trustees, L..cgislators, and the Governor to pull together and get the job done. A significant step toward realizing this objective was taken bv the . U Y Board of TruSlees in October of 1984. The B·oard at that time adopted a resolution reserving SIJI.6 million of first-sequence funding from within the existing S Y construction cap for the completion of SUNYBuffalo. This amount will not be sufficient to complete the construction of the north and south campuses in acco'rdancc with the 1965 plan. or in accordance with the reduced 1971 plan. or even in accordance with the sull further reducc;d 1975 plan. H owever. this amount is sufficient to complete a mndified, minimal. no-frills build-out of both campu~ in accordance with the following academic prioritirs: I) provide adeqoate facilities on the south campus for all of the health sciences e><cept pharmacy: 2) provide adequate facilities on the nonh campus for all other academic programs of the University. including the rine ans. chemistry, geology. the mathematical sciertccs. architecture. and social work; 3) build an addition to the existing :swdent activities building to conven it into a student union; and 4) provide adequate sitework and ilti1ities to ensure the basic workability of both the north and south campuses. A minimal build-out of SUNY-Buffalo will at long last provide the people of New York with a comprehensive university center that is physically work4bk (which the present arrangement at SUNY-Buffalo clearly is not). More important, tl!is minimal bwld-out can ~ implementod oo within the $131.6 million allocatod by the Trus._ from t~ eJUsting construction eap, and at the Iowen possible COli to t~UCO of ew York State. The critical element is~ ensure that a!lihe Timds-roftliiSbiliJCJ.-ourare rCieaociil during the.JJI86.4!7 fiscal year. iO that the lui brick will he laid and the last piett of .00 will be put 10 pl- by the end of 1989.

After extensive promote excellence in our undergraduate program is to di6CUssion with faculty leaderll, deans, and ihe vice create a University College. This action, which will have presidents, 1 decided it would be best to move all of the great binorical sigpificance, derives from the 1:1:pon two academic aspects of research administration under the Y""" ago by a faculty task force charged to examine our an Provost, and to move all other functions of the Offtee of and 6Cicnces undergraduate programs. 1 am perllonally very Research under a new Olftce of Sponsored Programs. excited by this concept, and believe it 1:1:prtStnts a gre;t I am vety pleased that Dr. Rennie has agreed to serve in opportunity for us to build on our stren8tJ!! as a the ncwly· augmented position of Vice Provost for Research comprehensive univerllity that already boasts exceptional and Graduate Studieo.

Now in the final stages of ~ala anaty;is. he has uncovered some interesting insights. Primarily. Niagara. Erie. Orleans. Gene~ see. Wyoming, Allegany.

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

The statement , written b_y a committee formed by acting depanment chairman John Dings and consisting of Barbara Bono, George Hochficld, laire Kahane. and Roben S. ewman, all faculty in English. maintains that the memorandum rep~nts a change in Uni>ersity policy regarding the granting of sabbatical lea>es. by making past ~tformance a criterion for awarding sabbatical . ..In doing so, the meaning of sabbatical leave· is changed from an opportunity to a reward/' the statement contends.

Y.easel word!~.~ and mcaning.les language," those problems do not apply to s ·s Faculty Staff Handbook. publi hed in August, 1985. according to Dr. Dennis P. Malone. former Faculty Senate chairman who was instrum~ntal m compiling the publication. An article appearing in the Oct. 2 issue of The Chronic/• of Higher Education contends that colleges and universities are running into rough waters in couns of law throughout the United States because faculty handbooks that include information on policies. rules, and procedures are being ruled legal docu- . ments or conlracu. In reality, the article continues. these handbooks were intended only to be a convenient way ~or the institution to provide employees wtth a source of information. "When you publish a faculty handbook like that, then the things in it do have the force of law, .. Malone said. " It is exactly the reason the administration here "as reluctant to pnnt one of these things." According to Th~ Chro11id~. " In today'!~. increasmgly litigiou& !I.OCiety. academics \\ ho have viewed the hand· book 3) ·an innocuoJ,~s informational directory· are finding out sometimes the hard wa~ - that under certain circumslances It is a legal contract and the courts will enforce it as such.'" US's publication howe\•er. was· compiled speciftcally to avoid such a connotation. Th< handbook was designed to fill in and serve onlY. as a supplement to cracks in the United University Professions (UUP) contract and SU Y's Policies of the Board of Trusrees. Malone said, by including "many things that neither of those two publications addresses ... For example, the precise process of evaluation for promotion and tenure is outlined. The handbook also includes information such as faculty bylaws. the Faculty Senate charter, grading po~cies. com menu on academic policies, al\d information on the President's Review Board and how it functions. "We wanted th is lo be one maJor source to \\hlch the faculty ~oulc:J go if they ~anted tO know \\hat the polic1e~ are." Malone aid. In order to accomplish thiS goal. the Faculty Senate appointed a comminee composed of Malone. Dr. Ed,.ard Jenkins. associate professor or learning and instruction~ and Dr. Roben Jennings. professor of educational organization, admini tration. and policy. The handbook took three years to corppile. "I've had one facult)· member call to say this is the single most important publication to come out oft he University in a decade," Malone said. "Some members . or the faculty have called me since this thing carne out to say they didn' know, for example, that they were supposed to have a yearly review with their chairman." P ulli11g together the handbook, which is required by the SU Y Board of Trustees. was not a simple project. ot only had U B never published a formal faculty staff handbook before. but imilar publicauon~ that the commlltet: "auld be able to use as a tantng point "ere rare. UNY at tony Brook·s faculty handbook was the closest to v..hat UB needed, Malone said. but there """ .. no oot publication we could findlhat we thought was an adequate model. • Even after three years of work. UB' Faculty/ Staff Handbook hould not be considered an unalter~ble bibl< of nivorsity policy. Malone said. In fact. it was designed to be updated as necessary. "We llnew there would be things that would lead people to say 'hey, why don' you include .. . . 'And obviou ly, one of the thing> that will change from tim< to time is the grading policy." Malone added the section on grades now found io the handbook will become obsolete next fall when the plus-minus grade system goes into effect. .. It is important that everyone realize that these things have to be updated. You don,just print the>e thing> and say, -..-ell that's done for a decade.'

That \If as one U!lllestion made by L. Pearce Williams during the recent c.ampus conference on 1each1ng quality called "Th<: Making .of a Teacher ... William .the John Stambaugh Professor of tht: History of Sc1ence at Cornell Unh·ers.ity and a master teacher. was. one of two guest speakers at the conference. He received the Clark Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1971. The other spe.aker was Wilben J . McKeachie, author of TeacMng Tips: A Guidebook for 1be Beginning Collegt Teacher. Williams made the su8$eslion about acting becauseh~ gTCW up m a theatrical family. This background provided a natural way to get students~ attention. "'There was no reality in my home, .. he quipped . "Timing, anecdotes, humor, and th.e one-liner were all pan of my tife. When I staned teaching, it all came rather naturaUv. "I would suggest that part of teacher trajnlng should be actor training - get together with the theatre arts depanment. .. Williams religiously collects anecdotes. He admitted that his stuff is corny. .. but you11 never lose money underesti~ mating students• tastes ... When he uses anecdotes, i1's to ge·t Students• anen1ion and make a point, not just to get laughs. Another recommendation was that large introductory courses should never. or only rarely, be entrusted to the younger members of a department. " But that's usually exactly what happens," he noted. The older. more experienced members who still retain enthusiasm should handle these courses. As the instructor learns more and more. -he should be able tD addre5s larger audiences and better handle the vast amount of material involved, WiUiams oxplained. He said be doesn' believe older teachers are necessarilv the victims of burnout. He has beeO teaching since 1952. . "And if I'm anv more enthusiastic, I'll have a heart atiack..'"' he commented. "Thiny years ago I knew exactly 50 minutes of the subject, hut now I can really teach il ... A W illiams outlined several requirements for good teaching.

"Students are looking desperately for · values they can cling to," he noteil. "Teachers ought to be beller people and quietly set standards students can emulate with some pride ... This means contact outside the classroom. too. he noted. How does one know if he's teaching well? Williams SU!lllested using evaluarions from other faculty as well as those from tudents.

In addition to learnipg problemsolving techniques. stu~ must have a base of knowledge. A great problemsolving chemist would not be able to do well in polities if he didn't have the knowledge bas<., he said. The teacher's task is to help students make sense out of infonnation. To do that, Mc.Keachie said. teachers must not only present material, but mu t also learn what structure is already m the students" heads. "They're not tabula rasa." he pointed out. For that reason, he objected to Williams' suggesllon that older people teach mtroductory courses.

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

Med students back blood drive RED CROSS "w BLOOD DIM ASISUI'S By BRUCE KERSHNER e figured that we, as medical students, would demonstrate to tbe com· munity that there is no rea· son to be afraid to donate blood." Eddie Phillips, second year medical student aod president of UB's chapter of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), said. "There's been a serious drop in blood supplies because people think they might get AIDS by donating. That's just false." So he and UB's chapter of the AMSA organized to contribute to the Red Cross' latest campus blood drive between Oct.. 7 and 9 in Harriman and Cement halls. Panicipation rates were at an unusual40 ~nt. After students with colds. high OJ OM--pres ure, and other problems were screened out, 211 units orblood WCfC contributed campus-wide, with 70 of those units fr9m medical students. Because of the explosion of publicity aod fear about AID , the public has unfonunately reduced its contribution of the blood that area hospitals so desperately depend upon. This situation especially worsened with the disclosure that AIDS-contaminated donated blood had transmitted the virus to unsuspecting people. While it i1 true that poorly screened blood donors with AIDS virus can transmit the lethal disease. the reverse is not true. DONORS of blood "Our young people oeed IDOfe than ""ords aod tdeas." be eoatinued.

This, according to Red Cross coo~dinator Paul Kocbmanski, is because all needles arc sterile and discarded after each usc. That is the only instrument that comes into contact with the donor. "A donation is totally safe and no diseases (of any kind} can he passed on,- he emphasizes. Even the fear of a hospitali1.ed pe,-.on receiving AIDS-contaminated blood from donated suprlies will almost certainly be a thing o "the past. Testing for the AIDS antibody in donated blood is expec1ed to eliminate the po ibility of contracting AIDS from that source. Donated blood is one of the most valuable personal contributions an individual can make. UB med students emphasize. It co ts ~mhing except one's Lime, and the donation suppons the lives of thousands who are injured in accidents and afflicted with disease.

While this mcrease IS less than the recent SU Y average, it is higher than the figUre projected for the contract agreement for the next three years, which, of course, has yet to be settled (see separate story). In fact. reponed AAUP, the sharp increase m overall salary levels, from 4. 7 per cent a year ago to 6.6 per cent this year, is auributable almost entirely to UUP calls meetings on stalled contract oth tbe Buffalo Center Chapter of United Ulliv.:rsity ProfessioM (UUP) and UB's Health Sciences Chapter have 5Cheduled open meetings to dilcu.s the cur- B rent impasse in negotiations between that union lll\d the State's Office of Employee Relations. UUP is the bargaining unit that represents faculty and most professional taff on campu. and throughout the SUNY Sf5tem. The Buffalo Center Chapter - which basically reprcsenu individuals working in the academic core - has scheduled a meeting for 4 p.m., October 30, !n the Kiva, Baldy Hall. The Health Sctences Chapter will meet at 4 p.m .• October 22, in G-26 Farber. Both Paul Diesing, Ph.D., and Roy Slaunwhite, Ph.D .. presidents oftbe Buffalo Center Chapter and the Health Sciences Chapter, respectively, hav.: deseribed the State's refusal to discuss certain contract lssues as uncharacteristic. particularly at this late date. Employees represented by the union have been wor:Jting without a contract since July I. Both chapter presidents agreed that negotiators u.ual~y co~e to some son of meeting of the 1111nds m or around September, after they have had time enough to feel eal:h other out, so to speak. and to set a haodle on what issues are particularly ignificaot to each side. According to Di..ing, the State has indicated that the following items are non-negotiable. • Tenure hould be reviewed every five yean, though the State failed to be specific about how the review process would be conducted. • o required promotional procedure "The impasse is uncharacteristic, the union says, particularly at this late date. . II for professional staff, though three years ago under terms of the last contrad the State agreed to appropriate $100,000 for a committee to study this issue. • Required reporting of outside employment. rCreation of a new health plan that would involve at least some fmancial •uppon f~om employees. 0 thtr I.SSUes under conte-ntion include the State's refusal to give employment protection to part-time employees; the right to institute parking fees; elimination of tuition assistance~ a reduced time frame for notice of non-rentwal,lll\d introduction of centralized biUing in clinical practice plans. Salary is also an issue. The State, according to Diesing and Slaunwhite, bas offered U UP the lowest increase in salary of any bargaining unit, including CSEA, which represenu classified staff. In the past, negotiated salary increases forthose represented by UU P have often come Very near to what is given by the state to CSEA. CSEA's current three-year contract, which staned April I, call$ for salary incrcmenu of S per cent, S.S per cent and 6 per cent ov.:r the three years. The fim year's increment, howev.:r, did not stan April I, so it actually c<!JIIli out to lt5s than S per cent, noted Barbara Christy, president of the local chapter of CSEA. Asked why the State is rcfu.ing to discuss cenain items, Diesing speculated that it might be a question of playing hardball because there is a new bead of OER. appointed since the last contract, who wanu to make his presence felt; that the State may believ.: it's "give-back time" for benefits already 'negotiated, or possibly tbat the State wanu to cut SUNY expenses. 0 on.ethelell, AAUP reporu, the gain in the past year was more than mOll observen would have anticipated 12 months ago. Two factoro are at play. low innauon and stron& economic srowth. ln a comparison of faculty lalaries nationwide with fede61 and private ICCtor lalaries for comparable levels of education and tJtpertise, AAUP found the news not quite so good.

Levine, an internationally-known foren ic dentist. assisted in the identification of Mengele's remains earlier thi year at the reque I of the U.S. Department of Justicx. He spoke at the Greater iacara Frontier Dental Meeting. Oct. 12, cosponsored by the ·u B School of Dental Medicine aod that school's alumni. Levine, who bas pro>ided his expertise in famous cases such as the authentication of X-rays taken during the late President J ohn Kenned y's autopsy. has testifted as an expert witness 10 lesser lcnown ones as well. While in Buffalo, be was a WltDe$S in the case of the man accu.ed of being the so-<:alled West Side rapist. The famous "dental detectiVe" told tho.e attending his presentation at the Hyatt Hotel that be was initially skeptical that the remains e><humed in Brazil and which were purported to he Mengele's were, in fact, those of the notorious W physician. Mengel<, after •"· had ~n sought by a.zi hunters sinee the end of World War II.

" But in the end after all the evidence had been examined - and there was a considerable amount of it including Mengele's medical and dental records from 1938-it was unanimous among those on the investigative team that the rem.Uns were ~ ~ Levine reported. Pr.Using the work done by the Brazil- ians who headed much of the elTon, Levine emphasiz.ed that 11 was a joint investigali\-'e: project requiring the expertise of a great many people . .. The conclusiOn wa based on anthropological fmdings, dental and med1cal htstones. and handwriting. 10 addnion to 1nforma11on prov1ded by the Stammers and othcrs who had kno" n MenJ<le after World War II m South menca. • the "'ew York dental expert noted A >fort he dentalev•dence, Le11ne a•d that ..dental restorations known to have been performed on Mengele pnorto 1938 "ere evident in those teeth which "'"'~stilltntact: a noticeable gap bet ween hi front teeth as evidenced in wartime photos and tho.e taken later in South America also matched the e1~dence e><bumed." Mengele's knowa height in 1938 medical records and the fact that one leg was shorter than the other also matched the exhumed remams of the man alleged to be the Nazi physician. But perhaps even more remarkable, the reconstructed skull of the man purported to be Mengele - perfectl y matched ... when early and more recent photos of the Nazi were superimposed over iL -The investigation, conducted by Brazilian, West German and U. . scicnW.u, was done in a painstaking manner. and in such a way that no evidence was ignored 10 arriving at our conclusion, ... Levine said emphatically. And in all the evidence studied throughout the investigation, he said, there is nothing to suppon rumors that the U.S. governmcnt ever bad Men· gele in custody, ever knew definitely of his whereabo uts at a l!iven tim<. or ever p~ovided him with assiStance to keep him htdden.

Born in Vilna, Lithuania, Schneider received hi.-musical training at the Leipzig Conservatory and the Ecole • ormale de Mu ique in Paris. In 1930, he Joined the Budapest String Quartet as its cellist. The ensemble had been founded aroulld 1917 in Budapest by four member> oftbe Budape t Opera Orchestra: Emil Hauser, lmre Poganyi, I tvan lpolyi and Harry Son.

Wrote Joseph Wechsberg in a 1959 profile for Tht Ntw Yorlctr: The Budapest "could easily play to a full house every night of the year. and as it i , its performances are almost always sold out long in ad\ a nee. Chamber-music audiences are ordinarily small, a thousand being considered a largt crowd, but in 1956 the Budapest performed for thirty-fi,e hundred people. at the Tcatro Colon. in Buenos Aires."

Tbe Budapest is never satisfied merely to perform music witb 1 weU-potisbed urface; the four men do not just play music. they make it, which is a different thing altogether.

Marl ro FesuuJ, MIJ'Iboro, \ermont 05344 0 Squire Haskin, UB organist, found dead at his home T qui.re Haskin, organist and choirmaster at First Presbyterian Church for SO years before his recent tragi.c death, also made rich contributions to the musical life of the Univen;ity. A member of the UB music faculty from 1953 until his retirement in 1980. Haskin headed the organ department here for approximately 2S years. S Haskin, 75, was found dead in his Allentown home October 10. An autopsy revealed that the organist, due to retire from his First Presbyterian post on December 31, died of trauma apparently caused by severe blows to tbe head. according to a Buffalo Homicide Bureau ~ublisbed in the Buffalo N~s. Investigaton; have theorized that Haskin may have surprised a burglar. At Reporur deadline on Tuesday, no arrest had been made in the case. Educated in the public schools in his hometown of Theresa, New York, Haskin went on to the Eastman School of Music where be was the first student to pursue a dual performance major. Following graduation in 1931 , he served brieOy as organist for the First Presbyterian Ch11rch in Watertown. and then moved to Rochester where he was appointed organist of First Church of Christ Scientist. He was also staff pianist for radio station WHAM. In November, 1935, when Clara Foss Wallace, organist at Buffalo's First Presbyterian Church, drowned in the iagara River, Haskin was chosen as her successor. Here be remained until his death, except for time spent in the U.S. Army as a fmt lieutenant in an antiaircraft battery during World War II. In an article proftling the organist published just four days befqre the tragedy, Buffalo News mustc critic Herman Trotter wrote: "Nothing. however, is quite so Squl reHftkln closely identified with Squire Haskin as the four-manual, 76-rank oebren organ in Fin;t Presbyterian Church. He was ... part father and part mid-wife to the onstrument, bel pin!! the famous Kenmoreborn organist/ builder Robert Noehren design and install it in 1969 and being its constant comp~ · on and nurse ever since."

He told the ~"• be planned to "become a church nomad. • visttmg other churches to ... what their orgarusu, ministers, and choir dorectors were up to. He also planned a return tnp to France, along with poss1ble journeys to the Soviet Union and the People' Republtc of China. He tntended, too, to continue his hiking and regular workouts at the Buffalo Athletic Oub. In addition to his acttvotoes II First Presbyterian and at the University, Haskin was the oiTtcial pianist fort be BulJalo Philharmonic Orchestra for 20 years. He was chairman of tbe Buffalo Chamber Music Society music commlltee at the ume of his death. And he was one of six founding members oftbe Buffalo Society ofQgJOphilists, said to be the city's oldest associauon of wine lovers. Later this fall, Ftrst Presbyterian Church will issue a record and cassette of Haskin playing some of his Tavorites works by Walther, Bach, Couperin, DuruOe, and Demessieux - on his beloved Noehren organ. A public memorial service will be held Monday (October 21) at 4:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, located at One Symphony Circle. Memorials may be made to the Music Ministry Fund of the First Presbyterian Church. Haskin is survived by nieces, nephews, and a sister-in-law. 0 �October 17, 1MS Volume 17, No. II Catter; Saum11ys, S:OO p.m.: Sunda~ 9:1S and lOJO Calendar From page 9 N OTICES• AIIBIICAN PHYS/Ol OGl' SOCIETY •EEnNGS • N.asara Falls Convention Ce:tttc.r.

By DAVID C. WEBB S pcaki114to a crowd of about 300 people to the Kiva of Baldy Hall at U 8 on October II. Umberto Eco. professor or semiotics at the U~ty of Bologna, focused on a topic whidl bas interested him for many yean- the interpretation of the meaning or a symbol or alqory. Eco baa developed an international reputatl0t1 for his illligbuul contributions to tbc lludy of signs, the theoretical dilciplille wllicb claims to cover aU celtural pbenomeaa that MsignifyM sometbin&, includina art, an:bitecture, and literature. Semiotica is ..,.,aficaJly related to liDJUisttcs, but it obviously touches upon practically allldlolarly endeavor. Eco trxed tbc history of the meaning of the S)'lllbol from the Middle A~ to the Renaiuanct through various tnterpretation by authors living in those times. All a student of philosophy at the Umversity of Turin. Eco studied medieval literature and in 19S6 completed b' thei on MTbe Aeslbetie Problem in St. Thomas Aquinas. "In 1972, be published a lengthy analysis or the commentary or Beatus or Uebana, an~ ·gbth-century satnt, on the Book of Re tion and the eleventh-century illuminati ns that illustrated tbal commentary. HIS 30 years or study on medieval literature and pbil<>sophy led to the writins or the bestselling book of fiCtion, 1M N- of tltt Rou. His trip to New York was to visit SL Bonaventure University to discuss William of Occam. a medieval Franc:isc:&n empiricilt and contemporary of Roger Bacon. Both William and Bacon were mentioned ia Eco ._ bestseller, because the ftctiooal Franciscan detcctive William of Bulterville was a friend to both. Thus, Eco brings ' an impressive amount of medieval scholarship t.o contribute to a brief discussion of one semiotic problem. He defined a symbol as a Mprecise convention." Once a symbol has been defined , it cannot as ume other meanings in the same context. be said, citing a passage from Goethe that says a symbol is a Mtransfer or ideas"tlttough an image. T be Greeks defined a symbol as half of a token. The symbol was explained "by reealling the absent half with which it could be reconnected, • Eco said. Under this deftnition, a symbol was something imprecioe in wbieh, unless completed, ~no one can •t>tU out what one bas understood," be Slld. Eco said that the symbol was something that was unknowable like ~the divine source of all being. • wlto was deftned with many ~live attributes the One with no weight, no location. 110 5ou.l. no mind. no time. and so on. Tbusl the symbol was somtthill( wbicb appears to be something and nothtng at the same time, or truth and falsehood 11 the same time, he said. However, the medieval sdlolastic pbiiosol'ber, Thomas Aquinas argued that MittS true that the One is absolutely transoendent and infinitely far from us," but He is not contrary to us, Eco said. Gnd is totally unimaginable for the medieval tl:eologian, but He is symbiotic with us, be said. Thus, the meaning of a symbol for Aquinas was not a network of inconceivable attributes but a link in the •great chain or being." Eco said the medieval quest for a code extended to tbe creation or great encyclopedias of bestiaries. The medieval pe<r pie "assigned a symbolic meanins to every piece of natural phennmenL" .Depending on the textual interpretation, a lion is a figure of Christ ora figure of the deviL A jewel, a rose, or a daisy can usume manydifftrelll meanings, be said. In the Rcnaiuance, ~ meaning of the word 'symbol' unclerto<:nt a profound change,- Eco said. The-medieval people were strons in their belief of the transcendence of God, the One wltois not only nltnown but unknowable. Th.e medieval thinker made a sharp distinction between extremes. However, the hermeneutic approach to the Bible introduced in the Renaissance was "based on similitude," be said. Thus, symbols an: defined in terms of similarity,and in theScripturesonelhingis sec:n as similar to another. .. A. giVt.1J text ,s symbols an: anchored in the context," Eco said. T be modern notion of symbols, he said, is very diffiCUlt to define. an: as many senses of symbols as there are authors,· be indicated. According to Eco, the "open" or modern thinker s-ays, "'There is no definite truth ill the world, " while the Renais· sance thinker says, "There is no definable meanins in the text with which to elab<r ~There rate about the world. • Eco ._ idea about the "opea" worlt modem writers are aummed up ill Opua apn-14, bi> fii'Sl book on a c:ootemporary subject. published in 1962.

The open work that r=ives the greatest" attention in his book is James Joyce's Finnqani Wakt, in which the "rules. or languase are deliberately broken to convey anarchy. Eco also introduces the ideas of semiotics. including many symbolic representations, in The Nttm~ of tlr~ Rox. After solving the murder mystery partly by accident, a sad Brother William, s~­ ing to bis "Watson." the Benedtctine monk Adso, says, "I have never doubte,d the truth or signs.

Though the last whaling .asc:l embarked from Proviooetown in 1916, wbales are still hunted and slaughtered, primarily by Japan, the Soviet Union and orway in spate of international protests and movements to bait all whalin&. ess than a century ago, America was still a wbaliq nation. The animals were seen as jll5t another God-gi>en resource meant to he exploited by humans for their oil. the maJOr fuel for · home ligbtins in the 19th century, and their baleen, the ftltrous plates atta<:hed to the upper jaws of certain whales used for ftltering food from the sea. Baleen was known as ..,.halebone~ and used for the critical purpose of &ivin~ fashionable 19th century women their ~hourglass fi~­ ures~ by providing rigidity to the11 corsets. Today, Japan argues that whale meat is an important food source; orway and other countries sell the meat to Japan. The oviets hunt sperm whales pnmarily for a high grade lubricant processed from their oil. Cosmetics are also manufactured with whale oils. America is now a wbalewatching nation~ ha,·ing terminated all whaling operations in 1972 with the exception of special permits issued to Eskimos who hunt bowhead whales in Alaskan waten and to !i hermen fort he incidental taking of marine mammals during fishing operations. Enterprises that carry land Iubben out on the ocean for the express purpose of only seeing these mystenou creatures nourish on both coasts. The ownen of the Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown claim to have launched the !irst whalewatch on the east coast in April, 1975. The fleet's boats are made available to researchers. who are on board for every wbalewatch to gather information about the animals4 These researchers name individual whales according to their characteristics. Though the researchers from the Cetacean R..earcb Program log data on all species of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) fouod in Massachuset ts Bay, the primaryfocusoftheirresearch is the humpback whale (M•gapura novoeanglio~). wb1ch is known for its eerie ~song.~ Only !i>e per cent- 15,000 humpbacks - of their original number are left in a world where early peoples worshipped whales as supernatural beings, guardians oft be sea's unutterable mysteries. That sense of loss was pervasive as tbe Dolphin VI headed out to open sea on a bright, chill morning. The passengers were bundled up in parkas and caps, many foni!ied against seasickness with dramamine. The sleek white boat has a heated cabin where passengers can buy food and bot coffee and sit if the weather is too cold. The number of P" cngers is limited to 145 pertriptoallm .veryonea spot at the railings oftbe upper or lower decks. As the boat left the harbor and began its ~mile voyage into open waters, Phillip J . Oapbam, assistant director of the ~an R..earcb Program, gave passenge)os.a brie!ins. , .. Provincetown is one of the few places where we can see up to four different species of whales within miles ofland, ~he explained. "This is because of the wide abundance of food. The ftn whale is the most common. The humpback whale is the one we are most studying; we can identify individual whales. We are using ~e identi!ication ofindividual~to study a population."' The mark.ings on the underside of the whales' tails are as unique to each whale as fingerprints are to humans. Clapham uid. Over the past 10 years researchers u. identified 300 individual humpbacks. L T be right whale, the rarest of all mammals on Earth because it has been most relentlessly hunted, i• some.times seen in these waters. Sigbtin& one of these would he "the ight or. lifetime..

"Another problem," be added , "as that humans tend to lool for comparisons \trilh humans. rc very conceited to as ume that the Wa} humans manifest tbeir intelligence i the only way. Cetaceans are clearly bagb up in order of intelligence in mammals, but """don' k.now if whales are as sopbinicated as dolphins. But no one has ever demonstrated that any cetaceans have a clearly deli ned language. Cetaceans communicate on a highqr level of complexity than, say, dogslo-but we don' know what their communication level is... One of the passen-gers on this whalewatch was Seldon Spencer, a faculty member of SU Y- ew Paltt who was spending his sabbatical collecting data on whales. In his classes on endangered species, be said, "my whole approach is that the andividual species are amponant. but they are basically barometers to what we are doing to the environment. The basic issue is that must protect the enviroPment and establish preserves and habitats so that these species can exist." As the boat continued on. the anxious wbalewatchers hung over the railmgs, eyes scanning the waters. Finally e cry went up: a spout on the horizon! Peop&e ran to one side of the boat; photograr.hers aimed their cameras. We waited unul another spout was seen; we ere closer and could distinguish on the surface of the water the black glossy backs of two Iinback whales (Balamoptrraphysalus). so named because the small !ins on the humps of their backs are the only pan of Ihem human generally get to see. As the boat got t\>en closer to the -whales, one of the crew announced over the loudspeaker that the scitnlists aboard estimated the length of one of them to he about 65 feet, one of the largest whales ever sighted in that area. Fin whales average about 50 feet in length. Now our excitement rose. We had seen- although at a distance-whales! We felt a sense of accomplishment. But there was more to come. Suddenly someone shouted and ev"eryone raced to "c. one sade of tbe boat A humpback •hale known u Reginald bad noiselessly &lJCied Jusl below the urface of tbe water and almOSI skimmed tbe uodenide of tbe Dolphin VI.

The genesi of the coldheanednes that led to tbe wholesale slaughter of the whale - fear that evolved into hatred and greed- became less inexplicable. But the tide turned for the whales. The} have the da advantage now, and their tragic vulnerabnity should make us protective. Ours was a lucky voyage. We sighted nine to 13 andividual humpbacks who came close to our boat. Indeed, before the trip was half over we were ex peru at predicting the appearance at the urface of a humpback.

The phasing technique solves the structures by comparing two or more diffraction pattcros obtained by varying the number and position of atoms not properly belonging to the structure, but mtentionally added to produce small changes in the diffraction intensities. During and before the 19SOs, solving the moleculor tructure or chemicals with as few as 10 atoms was a difficult challenge. Most organic moleculc:s, because or their complex.ity, were not solvable.

Together. audience and panel explored a range of questions and theories about today's political comedy. P .. Political humor in Ame.rica is just about dead ," Carroll noted. · Lewis agreed and added that the type or political material used in modem comedy seems to have the effect of helping the audience know and love their leaders. "The popular comedians today don' auack our leaders, they help us to get to know them. It makes people say 'they're o damn cute'.... It's sickening,• Lewis said. One member ofthe audience SU!l$CSled that television ha5 played a role on the apparent demise of political humor. Cat. roll suggested the two are not necessarily related. ~Monty Python, worlcs that arc literally created in the editing room, are some or the best humor we have today,. he asserted. Comedy clubs, not television, are a major force in the shape or comedy tnday, Lewi> pointed out. He suggested that the recent increase in the number of comedy clubs provides an opportunity · for greater numbers or budding comedians to exercise their craft. "Maybe it doe. give more schl~ps work but there is also a greater chance for good comedians to find work and gain popularity," Lewis observed. Another audience member stated Lbat .the lack of substantive political comedy today is one aspect or an apparent cultur- . al lethargy and a general lack of risk-taking. r Schmiu noted that the ¢mic impulse originates from the famiyYexperience and that this may be tbc reason most modern comedy focuses on tbe family situation and not politics. "The Cosby Show• was offered 85 an example. Lewis concurred. "Like the mow 'Father Knows Best.' comedy today seems to provide a giant breast for America to suck on."'

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

Sample termed the restructuring of the University's research program .. an experiment." 0 HRP warned against 'commercialism' By CHRIS VtOAl he ptvolal role of U D's Sctiool of Health Related Profess1ons in the development of a national social policy of hum.a n services was praised last week by SUNY't vice charocellor for research. graduate studies, and professional programs. Dr. Alden N. Haffner also warned agaimt incru.sing commercialism in health care in a speech at the School's 20th anniversary dliUlCr held October 4 at the Marriott Hotel. Haffner is concerned about two national trends tbat affect the health related professions. The first involves a national5tudy that recommended keeping the health related professions ..static'" until the nation·s excess supply of doctors is dealt with. ... In the two centuries of our national life, the United States has nevrr had a manpower surplus in medicine, and we are not yet fully cognizant of the enormous impact and consequences that that surplus will make," be argued. "Each of the health related professions T has unique and important contributions to make to the well-being of people who are served by them. Their education and training affords them nanding and competence in the public eye. And the recognition of their standing by the public is an important ~asure of their accepta.nc:e. That their cost effective utility to the healthcaresy5tem has been fully justified needs qo elaboration. The (stud y's) recommendation . . . should not be allowed to restrain the development of l. the health related di.SCipli.,.,.." Haffner is also womed about the effects of "corporate and business concerru (on) the &overllat>Ce of health care debvery. "The free use of advcrttSin&by the professions u well as "44'tfocant entrepreneurship tn an mcreas•nalY market phlce envuonment have aU combined to tmpact upon our traditional concepts of professtonalism," he "Saad. Professional behaVIOr and perfor· mance of those mvolved m human ser>'ICCS are tncompauble With the commcrcl&l environment. MlCOrchn& to Haffner. "I contend that we have t-..o s<U of radically inconsi tent forces when the intruston of the Iauer 1mposes tU &oals upon the former . The markeung of health care by corporate and business interests has the potentuil to introduce a market place atmosphere, to substitute busi.,.,.s goals for professional concerns and, finally , to substitute for profess1onal ethtcs those of the 10orld of co11lllltQ% and busiOC55." The risks of compromi in' health care with too strong a bustneSs onentatton are compounded by the chance that public image of the profes tons might suffer as well. "Health professions." he said, "(could) come to be perceived by the public in a business mold, and ultimately, they may not be accorded the same dignity,~ and understandmg as they have bad 10 the past," Haffner said . " In effect, I fear that the decl~ of professionalism may result tn a dechne .o f ~pect and standing accorded to a dtsapltne as a profession . .. T'heK honored and endurincly honorable pnnaples of prol'essionai1S111 are cntocal to the well«ma of the public and the professions alit.e. • T urntn& to HRP's . ana .. enary , Haffner told alumru, faculty and staff attenclin the dt..- tbal.

College student retention was the topic of a conferentt held October 2 in tbe Center for Tomorrow. Ernest T. Pucarella,Ph D.,oftheUnivemtyoflllinoiChicago was the keynote spe.a!<er at tbe program sponsored by Student lnforTnation Services. Student attrition, accordilll! to Pascarella, is a "luge sale problem" for colleges and universities across country; furtherTnore, it i a problttn that is only compounded by the brinkilll! pool of college-age students. "The average institution loses about40 per cent of eacb cl to attrition," he .aid . "These attrition rates have stayed fairly constant for tbout 100 yean .... Tbe only exception was after World War II. when the Gls returned to schoo " For example. at a "selective pri ate univemty,"be noted, bet,.een 90 and 9S per cent of students return after completrng their lim year, with 8010 &S per cent ultimately receiving a baccalaureate degree from that institution. At a "selective public university, "the retention rate is 80-85 per cent after the first year, with 70-75 per cent r=iving a four-year degree. The oumboors continue to fall , with a "typical state .uni>-ersity" retaining 60-70 per cent of each freshman class and awudingdegrees to~ per cent, and a late college retaining 40-50 per cent and graduating 30-40 per oent. Of sludtnts who attend a two-year junior or community college. only 10 to IS percent will persist, continuing at another institution and receivin~ a baoealaureate degree. M W Tbe rtiSt, based on a lludy conducted at tbe University o! Missouri-Kansas City, provided oupplementuy instruction for students who wanted help with "hi&b risk" courses, such as engineering or chemistry, where expectations are high and students who feel they cannot keep uparelikelytodrop out. Asimilargroup of 5ludents who did not r=ive supplementuy instruction also were followed as a control group. At the end of the fall~emester, the retention rate for nudents who participated in the supplementary instruction program wu 77.4 per cent, as opposed to 67.3 per cent for those in the control group. At the end of the spring semester, tbe retention rate wu 73.2 percent for tbe supplementuy instruction group, and 60 per oent for tbecontrol group. Those participating in the supplementary instruction group also had signifacantly higher grades. The study wu not without shortcomings, Pascarella noted. lt was conducted on a volunteer basis, leadilll! to the gatberinJ of a group of students who were mouvated to stay in school The supplementary instruction program also wu of the greatest benefit to students with tbe least academic preparation. Despite these drawbacks, be said tbe intervention program did show significant results in retairling students who otberwiJe mighl drop out. bat this means is that, coupled with declining numboors of I g.. to 22year-oldJ, attrition ultimately ~uld be the demise of a number of smaller tMilutions in this country. Turning the tide of these students who drop out, however, is a task com.parable to the puling of the Red Sea, boocause, Pascarella admitted, "70 per cent of what causes attrition is unknown." The problems of student retention are as complex as ~bing a conclusion on the definition of attrition. "It's very ·aifficult to come ~P wi!)> a definition .... Someone on-ce sa.d, 1t lSn' total attrition until a person dies," Pascarella noted. Dropping out of a particular institution may not mean leaving bigber education altogether. A student may leave college to attend another institution. 10 join the armed forces,. 10 work be sec'ond model involved a "campus and save enough money to conunue purcluster program" implemented at suing an education., or for a multitude of California- State University-Northridge. other reasons.

Two semesters after entering the university, 1S per oent of the cluster group remained enrolled, compared to 68 per cent of the. nonduster stUdents. However, Pascarella noted, "u soon as tbey took tbe cluster group away, the dropout rate became tbe same."' Orielltttion as an e!Tect on persistence/ withdrawal was the focus of a study conducted at Syracuse University, wberet"'o and three-day intensive orientation programs revolvmg around social and intellectual activities were organized. "'rientation had no dwct significant effect on persistence," Pascarella observed. Tbe study did show, however, that people who are likely to attend orientation acti.Wes are more likely to ~rsist in their coDege careers - a signifx:ant indirect effect, be noted. "Not all variables that are going to have an important indket:t effect are going to have an important direcreffect," be concluded. The Hnal model involved a livinglearning residence hall at Syracuse. A wide variety of students were grouped together with faculty, and classes, advisors, and discussion sessions were offeud as part of the program. Participation wu voluntary, and the living-leuning resi- dence ball students were closcl matched with a control group. Pascarella said t be study showed tbe living-leunilll! students bad a ~sipifi­ antly 'realer persistence level" than tbe non-livtng-leuning students. As a resuJ be concluded, "you CtUI structure resid'ence balls in ways that influence student persistence." Regardless of the results of the models, Pascarella said, college and uniousity officials ,should rememboor that even a seemingly suceessful experiment won' work all the time in all places_ "lt is extremely diff'acult to repltcate lindinp aaoss mstitutions, • he said_ " Persistence /wit hdrawal fa<:tors vary by institution.,. Any institution th.a t hopes to s~ fully 1imi:t attrition, according to PascareUa, needs to •organize for retentioo, • by forming a tu~rce to look at the problem. · "You have to oollectively use all tbe expertise and resources on campus.... lt's a student affairs problem tmd an academic problem," he said. Above all else, Pascarella said , remember that all withdrawal is not an institutional failure. D 7 new centers funded U B Presidenl Steven B. Sample this week announced fo.r· mation of seven Organized Research Centers, designed to provide sow.port for faculty-initiated, multi-disciplinary pro..&!JIIns. . Each Organized Research Center will receive from $60,000 to $100,000 annually over a three-year period to allow it to become estabhshed as self-sufficient unitJ. Each is expected to bring in several times as much external funding as the University provides for core support. The seven centers were selected from among 18 proposals, based on the recommendations of Provost William R. Greiner and Vice President for Research Donald W. Rennie. · During July and August a select facuhy review team chaired by Vice President Rennie evaluated each proposal and submitted sealed ratings and comments on each. The ratings and the summary of comments were the primary basis for making the rrnal awards. "We are extraordinarily grateful to all who participated in this 11rocess," said Greiner. "As a result of(thetr)dTorts, our capacity to generate external support for research and graduate study bu been _significantly advanced. In particular, we hope to be able to draw on the results of this effort to develop a strong case for State support for the concept of uveraged Reseucb Groups. • That funding concept, included in tbe •SeeCenton, - 4 �Octllller 10. , voe.-11,No.?

Healey will coordinate information on the major national competitions. and a guide that will list both UB's in-house awards and the national awards wiU be published. "There has been an absolute lack of coordination or information on this cam~ fellowship opportunities for undergrao~es." she said. Tbe chancellor has made it a special point to try to get a Rhodes Scholar from SUNY, she noted. Tbere has never been one in the history of the system. Yet Michigan State alone - not that State's university system, just Michigan State had three last year, she pointed out. SUNY and UB students have the talent, Healey asserted. What they lack is tbe information that these awards are available. or the major national competitions, Healey will coordinate the informaF tion. Students can get applications. rules. and regulations from her office. For each scholarship. a faculty member will be as igned as an advisor to help students through the apP.Iic.ation process. The advisors will idenufy qualified siudents at an early stage and encourage them to apply, Healey said. They will also keep track of bow many from UB apply. "How many students applied for National Science Foundation grants last _ year?" she asked rhetorically. "I hav• no tdea. A student may have happened to see( a brochure and applied. It's so ad hoc." Some of the major grants and their academic liaisons lOr this academic year are: • Fulbright grants - Howard Wolf of English. These I!J1IniS are for study for one year in a foretgn country. Tbe student must have completed his bachelor's before he begins study, but seniors should apply now. • Luce Scholarships Laurence Schneider of History.

One Fo T e By BRUCE S. KERSHNER J heworld'ssmallest thermometer and the world 's smallest heater may soon be entered in the Guinness World Book of Records. The minuscule devices were invented during the last several months in the laboratory of UB biophysicist Frederick Sachs, Pb. D., to measure temperature changes in single cells as part of 1 biomedical research project. The ultra·microthermometcr and ultra-microheater, as Dr. Sachs refen to tbe instruments, are part of hand-held devices that ta~r into a tip that is invisible to the unaided eye. "The sensing tip and the heating element are both approximately one micron in diamcter the associate professor of biophysical sciences relates. For comparison, a single strand of hair is over 50 microns thick (there are approximately 25.000 microns to an inch). Dr. Sachs bas recently submitted a . ~application for the devices. In addition, his article describing tbem will be published this faU in the journal, M.,hods in Enzymology. "The thermometer is a double barrelled glass micropipette with a bole between the two barrels near the tip. It is filled with an ionic solution. The pipette is attached to an amplifier that measures the electrical resistance of the .solution," Dr. Sachs explains. When the pipette is insenod in or touched to a single cell {or any other microscopic object) tbe attached instrument can rtleasure the temperature because the resistance of the pipette solution varies with temperature. The uhra-micro thermometer is capable of detecting temperature differences of T 9" one ten-millionth of 1 degree C, making it one of the most sensitive thermometers ever invented . Dr. Sachs beli<:ves it may also be the fastest thermometer in that tl can measure changes in te.mperature in as little as 100 microseconds. The diminutive heating element is also a tiny glass pipette. It is filled with a bismuth-tin alloy and coated on the outside with gold. Where tbe outside and inside metal layen join at the tip i the heating element. Heat is generated because the ultra-microheater is attached to an electrical current source. The gold layers that produce the heating element are only 100 angstroms. or 50 molecules of ~old thick. Heat can be produced and varied to within one-tenth of a ·degree (centigrade). Up until now, the smallest thermometers were a thermistor, a type of semiconductor used to measure the . heat of chemical reactions, and a thermocouple, composed of two dissimilar metals that generate a temperature dependent voltage. The two devtces are, respectively, 100 times aod 20 times larger than Dr. Sachs' ultra- microthermometer. Although smaUer heaters can be produced by using integrated circuit tccbnology, they are not, for aU practical purposes, useful as general purpose beating elements because -they cannot be easily manipulated or moved from one object of study to another. Dr. Sachs did not invent the minuscule devices to seek a world record. "I just needed a way to measure the temperature of the cells we were ex.perimenting with," he points out. .. No existing instrument was small enough to measure the temperature, so one had to be invented ... It wasn\ until the devices were perfected ecord that 11 occurred to him the~ were the smallest such inst.rumenu in ex1.5teocc Similarly, it never occurred to Dr. Sachs to submit the record to the Guinneu Book of World Record until a •hon while ago. "Yes, it"s a good idea to document the record for them. And. besides my son will really get a kick out of it,"~ adds. T he devices were developed for Dr. Sachs' mvestigauon into ion channels, which are special molecules on cell membranes. They are the smallest units of biol.ogical ~·ci~1bility becaust they transmtt electncallmpulscs. when stimu1~ by touch or .chemical • that are percetved as sensaJton by the brain. Dr. Sach• recenUy d iscovered the first mechanically..ensitive ion channel that may explain th~ fundamental mechanism for the senses of hearing, touch. and body awareness. Dr. Sachs personally invented the ultra-microthermomeler, and had assistance for the ultra-microheater from Research Assistant Professor Tony Auerbach and research technicians Rich McGarrigle and J im t il. His research is currenUy funded by a Nationallnstitutes of Health grant. Sachs is working with the Health-Related Instruments and Device Institute (HID!) and tbe Western ew Yorlc Technology Development Center, two UB-sp1wned high-tccb businesses. They !"" looking to develop manufacturers tn Western New York that wtU produce Sachs_' and othen' devi,ee>. fo~ specific applicauon•.

Co-editors are Ronald H. Stein, Ph.D., executive assistant to the president and Andrew W. Holt, Ph.D., assislant to the vice president for reoearch. The Journal for Higher Education Management, which premiered with the Suml!ler/ Falll985 is ue, is pubU.hed by the American Association of University Administrators. Two issues are planned each year. According to Stein, the journal will A serve as a forum forcurreot ... lSSues. prob-- lems, and challenges facing hi&her ed ~ca­ tion administrators." Refereed artacles will cover original scholarship and ~prac~ tical perspectives" on administration. Book revaews and notices of AAUA activities will also be included. The opening issue offers. compu!er software tips for htgher educataon ad_manistrators many of whom now rouunely use computers on the job. The journal .~- "<C"• H1J.) < l4•;.. '.'-'· • ~~>(..t. will review appropriate software on a regular basis, Stein adds. Also in the farsl iss~ , Ronald M. Brown, vice preoidenl for student affairs 11 the University of Texas at Austin, describes his university's successful recruitment of national merit scholars via a special ~honors colloquium" for prospeetive students, carefully chosen student adVisors, and faculty mentors. n soliciting articles, Stein ·and Holt Icommunity, "not only look to the higher education we also look to the private secto~." Stein notes, for instance, thatthe premaere journal issue also contains an article on coUeae and university marketing techniques by Fred Geo/Ung, president of a New Haml'sbire public relauons farm which specialtzes in higher education. Gebrung urges colleges and universities to plan their marketing campaigns carefully, focusing tightly on a clear, unambiguous message. Also included in the farst issue is an article on "The Marketing Revolution and the New World of University Advtin• istrators" by Georae Keller, senior '\oice resident of the Barton-Gillet Company, f. , • tJ ~·""""'\ ••·~of ~,. .. , r~ • ~ltfol a Baltimore planning. marketing, and communications firm. The author of a widely used book on higher education manaaement, Keller is a former proftS50r and dean at Columbia University. Stein adds th~t colleges and universities across the country now draw heavily on the patterns of successful U.S. corporations. "The thing that's exciting about this journal is the recognition of the importance of management skills for today's colleges and universities," be said. "If they're going,to not only survive, but also move towllfil excellence, it will take special management skills not unlike those oft he successful corporations. This is not to say that all the values of corporations are the same values or institutions of higher education. But it is to say that institutions of higher education can learn a lot from these corporations . ~ The journal is enhanced, Stein adds, by the presence of a distinguished editorial board. Members iBclude Ernest L. Boyer, president oft he Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; John B. Ervin, vice president of the Danforth Foundation; Darline Cluk Hine, vice (~'-KOHl' !HI ........ ~f· A 4~H II -4• provO$! of Purdue University; Roben M. eil, president of the Universiry of Wisconsm sy tem; and Robert M.

Patricia Cross, chair of Administration, Planning and Social Policy 11 the Harvard yraduate School of Education; Barbara W. ewell, chancellor of the State University System of Florida; and William Toombs, director of Pennsylvania State University's Center for Study of Higher Education. In a refereed journal such as this. Stein explains, the board, in effect, "serves as the guarantor of quality." Underwriting the premiere iss~ is the ational Center for Higher Education Management Systems, whose president, Ben Lawrence, as also an editorial board member.

He lived with a Syracuse family while attending hi&b · school. Since the n he bu remained in the U.S., attendin& collqe and plannina hiJ future in A ~ With an understandinJoftbe advan tases and di.sadvantases ofhvin& lll either has natn.-ecou nuy o r here, Lambiet bas deVIsed a plan wblCb should enable him to enjoy tbe best aspecU of both. "I'd lilte to stay here and worlt, and then retu rn to Belgium when I'm 50 , to tea<:h English there- that 'I roy dream.• he said. He explained that this wtU enable him tOenJO} advantqesoftbe . . where"if you'R ..illing to work, you can make money; in Europe if you don\ have family or other conncctJon , you can\ ." Then, after having spent the majority of his working d ays here, be would return to socialistic Bel&~um where "they take care of you ... old people are not ~II treated here (in the U.. )." Lambtet is a senior and expecU to com{'lete degrees in English and communtcation by the end of the spring semester. He traDSferred to U B after a )-ear at t. Bonaventure University. " I got a scholanhit> to play soccer for St. Bo naventure, but 11 was too small and in the middle of nowhere," be explained. "I decided to transfer to UB because I could afford it. • He enjoys attendinaan American university; ll's quite different from the educational system in his native counlly: "The ed ucational system in Belgium iJ too hard: to d o w-eD you must study all the LJme ... : Here there is room for S{'Orts, tnternshtps, and other extriCUmcular activities which iJ geat- that's all pan of education, too.· A "He's an intern on the campus and a stringer for a Belgian paper. " L ambiet takes advanl&Je of this time for outside activities tn 1 variety of ways. Amonatbem, be bu been a !ticker &nil punter for the Bulls football team for t.,l> years. Football, a pon rarely played lJI Europe, i1 very new to Lambiet, b be bas enJoyed playing the game ever since be was introduced to it in Syra<:ose. "I wanted to play 1oocer, but they didn' have 1 team. They told me to kick for the football team,· be explained. He found the spon attracti\-e in several wayy. lnhighschool,anyone inafootball uniform was special and envted, plus, beiq on the team was a great way to attract the girls. Even though at UB "the uniforms don\ seem to be any big deal. and the girls don\ seem to care, • he still enjoys the game. "I tike the spon because it gives you the chance to act as pan of a team and as an individual at the same time," Lambiet said. Although be'$ bad an "on-and-<>ff" career as a member of the Bulls squad, Lambiet finds being pan of the group rewarding. He has also involved himself in a variety of internships to gain experience with the American media. • All the radio and TV stations in Belgium are government-<>wned, and they i<:ally don' know bow to run them wen." be noted. He has completed an internship at WKBW-TV. Channel7,and bas contributed articles to several campuo publications. This semester be is an intern for the Univeroity ews Bureau and a contributing writer for lA M~w~. a Belgian newspaper. "I don' compete with AP or UPI or anytbJRg, but I send them stories about things that I fJRd amazing like Sylvester Stallone and bow much money the movie Rambo made. stories about President Reagan , what concerts or movies are new and bot, what happened on o,·nasty or Dallas .... mostlyentenainment-related things because they are all pan of trends that will reach Europe eventually,· Lambiet said . Related to biJ general interest in spons, Lambiet also acts as an agent for American basketball players who wish to join a professional team in Europe. "College basketball players who grldlllle and are not selected by the pros have the option of going to Europe to play. and I try to find a team in Belgium for them," be explained. A• for the immediate future, Lambiet is considering gad uate school but is unsure of the degce be would lilte to pursue or what institution be will attend. He is leaninJ toward 1 master's degree program in JOUrnalism and law school, where be would lilte to specialize in spnns and entenainment law. Allhou&b not sure of the program or location, be irsure be would like to play football wbile attending graduate school. When he return to Belgium for vllCItion, be is able to explore even more of his interests. He hosts the only bi-w.:ekly American-style radio progam in the country. "Two days a ...,.k for two houro I spin American records and imitate the American OJ style," Lambiet said. He impons his own material, exposing Belgium to the latest American roclt and roll bits.· "The audience loves it - to them I really sound American. They <!J>n \ underotand half of what I say;- be remarked. "It's really funny to get bi&b school kids calling in to make a request using their high school English." This' summer he was also a spons newscaster intern which enabled him to attend a number of major sponing events. One bighli&bt from this was a visit from Jermaine Jackson. "There was a 24-hour car race that he (Jackson) had a car racing in. He came for the weekend and I was with him almost all the time because I was the only one around who ltnew English, • Lambie! recaU . "I got to do several tntervie"" with him.· Most Belgians seem to have the same questions for Lambiet. They want to ltnow ho much money be's malting, what ktnd of jobs are available and if Amencans still drive around "tn those crazy btg cars." Lambiet ,maintains that many aspects of America are ~II reapected in Europe; it iJ only "'hen America is linked to .,.,.pons and aggression that the European' enchantment with the U.S. ends. "Europe doesn\ wan; to deal with American impenalism, but there is respect for its education system and media," Lambiet noted. " Despite a 20 per cent unemployment rate I could Jltl a JOb easily because my American schoohna is respected." · is family is supponive of has decision to stay in the U.S., althouJb his mother does not sba,re the enthusiasm of his father on the subject of establishiqg roots here. "My dad tbinlts it's coot that I'm here. He visited and said he'd stay. tOO, if be was younser.... My mother likes Belgium better because the family ties are ti&bt there,. he said. The only potential obsta<:les to Lambiet's desire to remain in the U.S. are the Customs and lmmigrauon Depanments. He bas been surprised by the paperwork and hassles involved each ume be enters the COUntrY. ~This is supposed to be a land for immigrants, but every time I return from Belgium I have problems coming into ew Yorlt, ~ be maintaiiU. He is required to present several doc- H ~=~~·~:!~~~~~~'i!!ur:: allow him to enter. Lambiet added that this process has made bim late for several connecting Oi&bts to Buffalo. "Ellis Island still exists, now it's JUSt at JFK, • he has observed. Lambiet added that the process of entering the countrY oever t~ as long in Canada or Belgium.

Always active, be intends to continue many projecu that he has already begun. Strauss will work pan-time on one of his favorite professional activities - helping to build an active alumni assoctation for the engineerinc school. "T here was the spirit and enthusiasm of being part of a new elTon, a spirit of 'can-<lo' amonc the faculty," Strauss said, commentinc on the engineering school in the late 40s. "But the university was not wealthy. Administrators wer:: reluctant to commit resources for engineering at the expense of other programs," be said. The enpneering school was supponed by local tndustry which benefited from both the school's graduateS and its research. Buffalo was stronc in manufacturing and basic steel industries at the time. " High technology," as it iJ now called, made few inroads here in the 40s, he noted. Early graduates were mostly from Western New York, Strauss said. "Many wanted to remain here. Today, if we keep 20 per cent in Western New York, that would be high. Lt may be as low as 10 per cent." ExpanSJon of opponunities on engi. neering elsewhere has led_to ~exodus of talent from the area, be tndtcated. Accordin& to Strauss, engineering eduo:,ation has not changed fundamentally) But the fundamental courses have . expanded, or added the UJC of comp "Computers have allowed us to solve problenu we were not allowed to solve, • Strauss said. The UB engineering school iJ amons the top lO in the country out of about 250, be said. Getti~ to this position was not easy. "Up unul about 1962, we dido\ have the resources of other schools. In 2.S years, we've moved from unrated to the top 30." trauss iJ one of many (acuity who have seen the chante at UB fro111.a much •mailer private university to the exganded state univershy center of today. Farfromwilhingtoaoback totbc "&ood old days," Strauss looks forward to the "good old days" that are yet to come. "'The University iJ entering its best days now. I've seen it grow from umallliberal arlS school to a great univtrsity nationally and internationally. To be a part of that is very exciting. It iJ also excitins to be around to watch as it continues to grow and expand." S Tbc cbanf to a state university was good for U , Strauss said. "We gained more than we lost. I don\ believe you can build an instant university. To build the campus in the time allowed was a tough job," be noted. The engineering professor said be is optimistic that the University will continue to expand. With the establishment of the engineering school, some staff were coneerned that too much emphasis would be put on technical education at ibc e"P.Cnse of the liberal ans. However, he satd, the engi- neering school manaced to weather the criticism and conunues to offer balanced educational progams that include the liberal ana. Very popular amonc students, Strauss is a founder of the enpneerins school'5 alumni association and has been its faculty advisor for many years. He iJ active in professional cnpneering societies, such as the Engineering Society of Buffalo, for which be continues to teach refresher courses. He also was an inslruc· tor in the Naval Reserve, retiring with the rank of commander. As associate dean of educational services, he was heavily involved with advisement. He bclped many when they were ready to gi"" up on their careers. Strauss somet.i.mes was a friend when needed, or a "father confessor" to students. • "I've tried my best to treat each student as an individual or treat individual problems or find unique ways of handling problems," Strauss said. He also assisted transfers coming from community colleges and other progams. " We have a pretty cood reputation" in that area, Strauss indicated. "'ne oft be greatest satisfactions of my job has been a gradual~ expressing the fact that 'you were tbctt when I was down,' or 'you pve me the push and incentive to continue'," be recalled. orne of his students have become part oftop management of large corpora loons such as General Electric, Yolk wagen of America, or Linde-Union Carbide. Strauss bas also been advisor to many evening students, who tend to be working engineers who want to keep up to date with changing technology. S orne of the successful programs that Strauss has helped to develop are the Master of Engineering program and the "three-two" dual degree offering. The Master of Engineenng is for those "'ho wish to earn a terminal master's to prepare for a job as an engineer. Tbc decree emphasizes the practice of enaineerin& as opposed to research. The "three-two" progam enables students to cam two degrees - one bachelor's degree in a basic: science and one in enJineenn' - by attending two colleJt:eL St"uss said this progarn enables Ullto "d~op stroDS ties with other state schools such as F"donia, Brockpon. Geoeteo, Conland, and Buffalo State Cofle&e." Dean of the Faculty of Encineerins i.nd Applied Sciences George C . Lee is obviously impreued with Straua' work. " He iJ very fair and firm," Lee said. "Some people may find him inflexible at times, but he has always tried to stick to policy while trying to be fair to everyone. It will be difficult to find a substtlute for him.Lee commented that be strongly supponed Strauss· appointment to associate dean in 1978, sbonly after his own appotnlmentas dean. trauss was named assistant dean in the enpneering school in 1966 and a few montlu later served as actinJ dean for a year. He earned a master's '" mechanical engineerin~ at UB in 1954 while be was teaching. Hts promotion to full professor came in 1971. Strauss was involved in research into hi gh-stren&th carbon mitenals that enabled the development of light and resilient graphite fibers used in tennis ra<:qucts and airplanes, amon& other things. HiJ research provided the experimental and theoretical basil for the manufacture of t.bcse materials.

The revisions notwithstanding, it would be incorrect to assume that Graves wrote laboriously, says B•nboi(. "This is simply how the Muse works for ,·;m."

Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). This is in addiLion to his work as ediLor and translaLOr of Latin, Greek., French, and Spanish sources. ln a 1966 interview in the N- York TinuoJ Magazin~. Graves said he really didn't I< now how many prose works he had written or pubU>hed. "I am a compulsive writer." he told the New York Tin~s. "I can work with children cryin.gjo the bouse, with people Lalking. with masons hammering. dogs barking. The only thing Lhat disturbs me is music. .1 mentally recite my stuff aloud, even my prose, as I write. Music puts me off complelely." In Good-bye to All Thar, his 1929 autobiographical classic of World War l, Graves acknowledged his penchant for heavy revision, recalling an unpleasant encounlh wiLh the headmaster at Charterhouse, "thal most Philistine schooL • "My last memory is the Headmaster's paning shot: 'Well, good-bye, Graves, and remember that your best friend is the waste-paper basl<et.' This has proved good advice, though not perhaps in the sense be intended : few writers seem to send their work Lhrough as many drafLS as l do." Yean later, be added: ~what else can I say, except that my best friend iutilltbe waste-paper basket?" Even with bis vast prose output, Gr:aves considers himse1fprimarilya poet. In 1965 be described his poetic pbiiOIopby Lhis way: "Whenever a poem reads memorably, this is almost always because a living Muse bas directed its need and, however individual Lbe poet's cbo.ioe of words and rhythms, impressed her secret image on them .... My main theme was always the practical impossibility, transcended only by a belief in miracle, of absolute love continuing between man and woman." In general, critics say, Graves' poetry is marked by tension between emolional intensity and a pull toward clarity and order. Remarks Seymour-Smith: "Graves' lalest poems provide, in Lheir explorations oft he possibilities of a world purged of whal he ealls 'the blond ~ports of desire, • and of the agonies of alienation from such a world, a fitting sequclLo those of his earlier yean.

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

The executive committee should be chaired by the provost, with the vice provost for undergraduate education as viee chairman. (lbe vice provost for graduate education will be an ex-officio member, explained Bunn. The acronym ACAS, which stands for the Administrative Council for Arts and Sciences, will be dropped because it Planning of college is underway is confusing, he added. ACAS is com· poled of the tbree Arts and Scicnceo deans..) Tbe vice chairman woukl p!Uide over most meetings, but the provost shoukl bold !be~~ chairoftbat body for both symbolic and pr~ reason&. The prlll:tical reason is that the three deaD$, who will be held responsible for the success of the college, report to the provost, and tbrouah him must be liOCOuntable to Jbe president and tbe Univenity for the proper discharge of their 1pecial responsibilities regarding undergraduate educa- tion.. a The college's academic program and policy struCI.we must involve faculry primarily, but not exclusively, from the Arts and Science&. The p.....,nt Under· lflduate Couocil is one model for a faculty goVCTJWH:e and policy body for the colle!!•· but otltcn may be suggested which will prove more appropriate. ONhing is clu(: the college must have strong fac:ulty sovemance structure, a faculty dedicated to developing and eli vee'.ng exciting undergradu· ate programs. As a first order of business for tbe vioe provost and the three deans, Greiner has charged them to suggest possible fac:ulry governance structures for tbe college. Enough preliminary worl. onplanshas been done that Greiner said be thought be ought to make a state~ on where he stands. "This isn' a final statement, • the provOSt said. "I'm trying to tell people where I stand now. h5 a debatable and open issue~ " s the result of a 1983 report from the A Planning Task Group on the Arts and Sciences, Greiner is to decide in March whether to recommeod to ihe president that he {s>rm a Univcnity-wide College of Arts and Scienoes. Greiner noted that this undergraduate college is not a way to ge1 a College of Arts and Sciences by the back door. "The faculty of this University said they don' want to take that approaclt."

The fund is earmarked to be used particularly, b11t without limitation. to support special teaching and research pro· Jects in William J. Mogavero's field of property law.

Thus. manv of the busing programs of the past.two decades which have been aimed at ensuring a racial balance in the schools are, in the views of the contributors. misguided and ultimately unsuccessful. Most of the authors stress an academically rigorous curriculum that· places emphasis on the traditional sciences, hterature. mathematics, and history. Vocat.ional education and other "frills~ are considered inappropriate for tbe most part. As tbe curriculum bas been compromised, so, too, have buic educational standards so that a degree from a secondary school no longer counts for much. Much is made of the decline in SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) sco~ of college-bound freshmen over the past decade. The scores have declined, it is argued, because ihe quality of instruction has declined and the integrity of the curriculum in primary and secondary edu~ation bas been compromised. Even at the level of the colleges and universities, the willingness of academic institutions to provide remedial courses debases higher education. While the~ are many common themes in these two books, the~ are some important differences.

"Thi library" is the Charles Abboll HaU, home of the Health Sciences Library, which opened Tuesday following more than two years of reoovat_ions and c struction. Formerly known astbe Lockw od Memorial Library, tbe fourstory edifice located in the center of the UB Main Street Campus originally was built in a classic Georgian style, and bas been complemented and enl rged by an adjoining modern wing. The new Health Scien= Library is a paradoxical blend of the old and new. The new wing, designed by Philip R. Scaffidi of Scaffidi and Moore, architects, is a .sharp contrast to the original. which was designed by Edward B. Green, who also built the Albright-Knox An Gallery, and completed in 1935; -despite the 50-year architectural gap, Abbou Hall is not only beautiful, but its new layout makes the library more functional and easier to use, according to Huang. ..

The Media Resource Center ofTen students in the health related professions some of the most current library resource technology available, and the Roben L. Brown History of Medicine Collection, is "one of tbe major rare book medical science coUections in the country" containing volumes dating baclt as far as 1568. Both are located in the basement. The focal point of tbe library and its $5.5 million building project bas been the renovation of the main reading room, designed as a replica of a room built for tbe Earls of Salisbury in the early 17th centu,Y. The ~by-75-foot room's magnificent Englis~ oak paneling is rumored to have been Cf'.!"ed by Kittinger, a company known for its fine wood furniture. The chandeliers that bang from the 20-foot ceilings once graced the Albright mansion, and the buge fireplace features a carved mantel that duplicates one found in Canonbury ToWer m 1468. Although contemporary fumiturt: will continue to be used temporarily, the room eventually will be furnished with matching oak chairs and tables. hile the main reading room is architecturally outstanding, the Media Resource Center represents an equaUy remarkable advance in study opportunities for students at UB.

Another resource "ailable is a tape player that can be speeded up to allow a student to listen to a lecture recording in a shoner lenath of time. Providing informational resources for UB students and f.acuhy is only one facet of lbe Health Sciences Library'• respon•ibilities. According to Huans. community service is equally important. "This library is different because we serve u a biomedical communica.tions center for (bealth related) professionals throughout Western New York, • Huang said. "This is the best University(community service there is, actually.• Among the community-oriented programs offered through the Health Sciences Library is its Information Dissemination Serv~ which provides "information to more than 100 hospitals and institutions in Western New York." Huang said. Other programs include the Interlibrary Loan Service, which receives more than 20,000 requests each year; MEDLINE, which recorded nearly7,000 requests for information searches last year; the Media Resource Center, which was used by nearly 20,000 health care professionals last year; the Regional Medical Library Program,servit~~ nearly half of New York State; and the Local Medical Library Resource Sharing Network. ..-J' "A major rare book medical science collection, the Robert L.

Bloch, 59, is expected to brins stability to a fedctal agency that has seen fout directors come and so in four years. He also brinp a new perspective as the fJTSI du-ector to come directly from industry. After his araduation from UB, which be attended at nisht school while he held a full-time job at Allied O!emical and Dye Compa11y, Bloch joined IBM, where be stiyed until his NSF appointment was approved by Congress after .P residential recommendati.o n. He rose through the ranb at IBM. He was engineerins manascr of its STRETCH supercomputer system; bead of devdopment oftbe Solid Logic T~hnoloay Proaram, which provided microcl~nic t~hnoloay for tbe ystem/ 360 computer (last February, he received a National Medal ofT~noloay for his contributions); vice president of the Data Systems Division and general manager of the East Fishkill facility, which is responsible for the development and manufacture of semiconductor components. In 1981, Bloch became vice president for t~hnical personnd development in White Plains, NY, and served as a member of IBM's Education Relations Board, responsible for the company's contributioru to academic institutioru. He held these positions at the time of his NSF appointment. He also chaired the Semiconductor Research Cooperative, an indusuy group that funds advanced rcsellcl! in universities. A native of Salzbutg, Germany, he became a U.S. citizen in 1953. Asked in an interview during a rccent visit to Buffalo if be found the transition from industry technocrat to federal bureaucrat formidable, Bloch replied, '"'The transition was not as dramatic as people think. The problems arc similar, people arc similar; and 24 hours a day is still 24 hours a day." Bloch appears to take a philosophical approach to the monumental task of determininj! funding priorities for his agency, pnorities that reflect both real · need and po!i~ realities. Earlier this a Erich Bloch He's charting new directions at NSF ye&f, he testified in ConaressionaJ hear- inp to defend a requested S67 million increase in the SF bud~. an incrc~ bedoesnlexpect toaeeappro'-ed because of a budld "freett mentality" be observes in Conaress.

We're i.lldependent and I "'ant to keep it that way. Ho~'i'fcr, we arc part oftbe administration and its poliCies apply to us; we anpport them. Our dealinp with Conaress ~ more objecu..,." Chief among Bloch's oe"' priorities is a his push for enginecting, hiabligbted by the new, "Utre.mly important" Engineering Research Ce~ers pro,ram , funded at $10 million in 19 5, With an additional $1 S million expected . Tbe five uni..,rsities desianated this year represent a ~new tool" in research, Bloch says. a multidisciplinary approach that bas not been utilized fully in the past. Ultimately, the program calls for 25 such centers funded at $100 million. UB is, of course, in the competition with its own proposal for inclusion in the pro~ Other priority areas Cited by Bloch arc biot~noloay and "super computer centers." "We should fut ctnpbasis on the emerging areas o science," he said ... but not neaJect established areas. We can' single out t~ or fout areas to concentrate our efforts in. The world is ootthat narrow a place. "We have a lot of worl< to do in tbe education area," he added. An emphasis on pre..:ollel!" education programs "will help the SOCial structure of the country." "We have to lay the foundations for the next few years, .. be said, ...we must ltve.raae dollars, develop biorc cooperative efforts. We have to looj( at and prioritize proarams in the right .tay. We're in for a new balancing job. We must consolidate programs." _ S ome researchcn have expressed the concern that with · Bloch's obvious support of engineerina and universityindustry COOJ."'ration, the social and behavioral sc1ences will lose funding. Bloch. denies that the "softer" sciences will be downplayed. "In the 1986 budget, that area got probably one of the biggest increases in funding," besaid. "NSFbasaroletoplay in the social and behavioral sciences, but that is so broad a field, wecanl do everything. We must be selective, and look at those problems in research areas that link to other parts of Foundation projects, particularly in quanti!Itive aspccu." Bloch is awan: that many uoiva.itics throughout the country, especially those that - like U B - arc in areas undergoin& economic transition, ~ playinJ critically vital roles in aiding econotruc rcdevelopmenL He is a strooa advocate of university-indusuy cooperation, but sees NSF as indir=l¥ involved in actions for economic revitalization. • The Foundation is playing a prime role in layina the foundation for ~ nomic development in stimidatina and fund ina raearch that can lead to it," Bloch remarked. "Our role is to sponsor basic resellcl! and educate people in basic research so i ividuals can take advantap of iu results." Of umversity-iodustry cooperation, he said, ..That's s;omething that's always soing on, but not to the extent that it should. We wantto do everything we can to make it happen. We're in isting in many of our programs on an industry involvement ... ?~e should place on e~phasis emergmg areas: for example, biotechnology and super computer centers.' Does, be attach any sianificance to his own appointment, as a representative of industry, to the NSF dircctorshipL} He hedacd a bit. "It's a stage in this time period," be remarked. "It's important to have someone in NSF who understands that (university-indusuy) participation, so that NSF sets the beneftt of people who come from different ~as." With the general belt-tightening and increasing numbers of researchers scrambling after available dollara, Bloch advised, "It's important (for universities) to have pr~ms where they can leverage those ( S~) funds, combine them with those from indusuy and other funding agencies. Universities have to do that on their own, though we can help. • With fed~ govem!DIOnl fundin& of research at a 46-4 7 per cent ~I eutrcotly, com_P"!cd with 52-53 per cent five yeara ago, Industry bas a greater role to play in supponing uni•'efSity research, Bloch noted.

"We're essentially providtn& a diffttmt atmosphere for research and equipment badly lackina in the U.S. today. We're bnnging enaiocerins into tbe modem era and linki!IJ industry with tbe education process. This is pointins a way to a different approach to mgineering and engineerina education." Bloch doesnl feel that SF should work directly with industry, however. The Foundation worts through efforts such as the Small Business Innovation Research prosram and the Presidential Scholar program to support individual pro~ and n:searcbers that have linb to Industry, but euentially, "indusuy should find its own way," he advises. Bloch does welcome tbe IJCW universityindustry cooperation he observes in this country, noung that not too long ago there was a mistrusting, almost adversarial, relationship between universities and indusuy in gen~. In tbe late 1960's, many universities, under political pressure from students and faculty members, established policies under which they would undertake no classified or secret resean:h projects. Industries, especially those under contract to the Department of Defense, found themselves the larJ!et.s of protests by college students and were reluctant to es!Iblish ties with institutions where faculty and student senates debated the moral worth of projects in which the companies were investing money.

By the early 1980s, hov.-ever, the "system" had lost momentum. Funds were drymg up, and some of the units that had lasted for more than a decade were dying from both lack of funds and waning interest. In 1983, a Colleges Task Force mittee, chaired by Harold Cohen, professor of d 1 studies, recommended that each survivor find a new administrative home, Gold explained. The colleges agreed 11 was time for a change. Cohen was supported by Robert Rossberg, then vice president for academic affairs. Provo t William Greiner continued the reorganiu.tion proces .

The new affiliations are: Black Mountain College II , Faculty of Arts and Letters; Clifford Furnas College, Division of Student Affairs; College H, Facully o( Social Sciences; College of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of atural Sciences and · Mathematics; Cora P.

Racbel Carson College. with its enVIronmental focus, was on faculty. Rachel Carson Colle&e employs several people from tbe State Depanmeot of Environmental Conservation, i.t>cluding the regional director. ready. Numbers show the interest io the colleges' coui"SCS. "Drawin« for non-majors must be one of the most popular courses on eamr.us, • said Jeanne- oel Mahoney, dim:tor of B IC Mountain IJ. The colle&e offers three sections, each with 25 5tudents. but 180 often apply, he said. It' not unusuatto get • 300 additional requests, she noted. The number of eourses varies from eolle&e to collese. Colle&e H offers 20 eourseo and the Colleae of Ml1bematieal Sciences, only one. Clifford Furnas ColleJC also is offering only one course this semester, said H. William Coles Ill, administrator of tbat unit. But there are 100 5tudents in that • Ascent of Man • cl . Enrollment i bigb beeause it's a @CtlCfal edueation eourae, he noted. Usually. Oifford Fumas College has about 50 students per.semcster. Gold pointed out that college eourses, by design, have low to moderate enrollment, which brings facujty and 5tudents closer. Tk colleges often employ faculty wbo are professionals in West_em ew York. "We'Ve always bad a strong commitment from the eommunity fac:ulty," explained Qryden of College H. "lbey're dedicated. They eome baclc year after year. They teach well constructed, well evaluated courses for very modest eompensation. They're here because they love thcir fields." . These faculty also create a linlc bei ween the Uoivenity and outside eommunity. he onted. For iMta.nce. College H employs professionals in the health and human services. Blaclc Mountain II has a variety of artists including those working in cerami<:s, jewelry, weaving. and drawing. as well as an editor. music critic, vocalist. pianist, and guitarist T be residential program does not duplicate wbl1 tbe Housing Office does, but enriches student life along the theme of each eolleJC, Gold noted. One of the purposes is to create a "sense of being• in Ellicott, said John Staley, direc:tor of Cora P. Maloney. The ~idential programs offer special facilities, academic activities, ~ social activities. For instance, Cora P. Maloney College. geared to inner city citize111 and minorities, has purchased some personal computen to expand the limited time studenu ~ave on such machines. The College of Mathem¥ical Sciences bas not only a eomputer lab, but an electronics lab as well. CoUcge H supplies weight liftina equipment foT fitness. Many of tbe colleges offer activities similar to Cora P. MaTooey undergraduate •ympoojums. They all offer soa.al programs such as dinnen, trips, spons, movies, and parties. Academic and •ocial activiti<:s frequently overlap. as in Rachel Canon Colle&e's Sunday suppers with speakers. The residential paces are usuo.lly near the colleges' offiCeS and the college serves as a focal point for iu tudents. For instance, in Blaclc Mountain Colle(!!' II, the •tudcnts share an interest in the ans. Tberr rooms surround the olfu:es and the college art gallery wblcb have become a meeting aiea. T be colleges provide an informal k.oud of contact with faculty members that is different from the relationship in the clas room. Gold said. Dryden of Colle&e H sees that as an imponant but dwindling asset. Faculty are retreating from student life. he maintains. They don't want to be assigned to teach in Ellicott classrooms far from tbe Spine, and the Social Scienocs offiCeS will soon be moving to their new bwlding along the central corridor. "The faculty of the University have a responsibility to m11ntain a presence in tbe dorms,· Dryden said. "I remain committed to tbe notion that tudenc benefit from informal and formal contac't with faculty over topi<:s of mutual interest. Therefore. the eolleges are an important pan of the University progratO. • He sees the residential programs as a -y to combat the feelmas of alienauon experienc:od by s.tuden sometimes manifested in alcohol abuse and vandaliim. Housmg points are an imponaot part of the col~· residential programs. A certain number of r~ are set ide for each college. de~odinl on its s· Students get poin for their participation with llle colleges. Those with the most points get lim pick of rooms in a lottery run wtside of the &~"neral housing lottery. Most 5tudenu get their lim choice of rooms, said Keith Cunachio, the ~coordinator for tbe CoU.ae of Mllbematieal Scie . Colle&e me.mbers can easily get a single room i their sophomore year, but tudent in the geneTallot!ery find that nearly tmpossible until they're junion or seniors. he said. ·A large percentage of the S1udenu are here for the fuU four years," said Mahoney of Black Mountain II. "That"s rare in tbe <lorms. • Recruitment and retention are other fruits of the colleges, accordina to Gold. In recruiting, it's attractive to students to know tbe program i5 here. It belps retain students by pro,idin& pathways for those who are changing majon. "I tlunk every university needs orne mall flexible equivalent of wbat we know as the colleges, • Gold said. 0 I College of Mathematical Sciences College H LEE DRYDE , master.

The exes: differen approaches to conflic Men favor force and use Females play key role · of arms; so elect more ~ resolving disputes between partners women to office? M en are mol:<' likely than women to favor spending money on nuclear weapons. to upport testing the Cl"lilic Missile and to believe that cold war rather than unilateral disarmament is a deterrent to intema.ltonal conflict. a =nt study bas concluded . Do.Wd S. Kumka, Ph. D., a sociologist at UB. and Jane M. Sil><rman. oflhc lnnitute for Social and Economic Research in Manitoba, Canada, found that.. in lhc aggregate, men arc not only more "pro-foru" than women but they view military defense issues in more "simplistic terms. • Women. in the aggregate, consider the same issues from a complex, "'holistic"' penpecti\'C that includes a ... human dimension ... The results were drawn from a system· atic random sample: telephone survey conducted in Manitoba 10 o,·ember. 1983. Because the vast maJority of Cana· dians live within 100 miles of the United States, and the border between the two nations represents more a geopolitical than ideologieal separation, the •urvey results can apply to the American population as weJ.I, the researcher& believe. The dininct gender differences concerning attitudes about nuclear wu and disarmament may be attributed to the way both sexes are socialiud, Kumb theorizes. Most men, he notes, are brou&ht up according to a "male myth" standard that encourages strength and independence and frowns upon peroonal weakness and self doubt. By contrast. women are reared to be more ...otheroriented," usually develop a network of relationships wilb others and are more apt to consider how their decisions wiU affect other&. While men as a group were found to be more pro-force, women tended to be more pacifistic in orientation. displaying more negative attitudes on military buildup and subscribing to the belief that no one wins or survives a nuclear war. I ntercstingly. the research team found that when men and women were asked their opinions on military and defense issues, they responded from two funda· mentally different orien.tations. 'When we looked to see if males and females could be ebuacteriud by their own set of separate concepts, we found that men and women deflrutely organitt their thoughts differenlly. If nothinJelse, males bad a much lim pier perspcettve on lbtngs and tended to see issues in black and white terms. For instance, they viewed militarism to be just the flip ide of anti-militarism." Kumka said. Women, on the other hand, saw shades of grey. Their support for spend1ng money on developing nuclear weapons was tempered by a feu that the weapons may provok:e a nuclear conflict and was shared with lbe additional concern tbat countries should work toward nuclear disarmament to reduce lhc ebances of confrontation. The K.umka/ Silvermanstudy also confirmed wbat previous social scientists bad lbeoriz.ed: that older people bold mon: conservative political attitudes than younger people. In their study, older men were more militaristic than younger men, though both groups were decidedly more pro-(orce lban women. In the aggregate, older respondents tended to favor an increase in defense pending and a buildup of the nuclear usenal and were lc:ss concerned with civil defense. This is not to.say lbat politieal conservatism is an effect of the aging l'roccss, Kumka advised, but only that allttudinal differences ex.ist between younger and· older individ u~. Given lbat Ltie politieal and military structure of the United States is dominated by older males, K.umka speculates that a de-escalation of military buildup does not look promising. "It's frightening to see that the people in control ue lbose most predisposed to increasing and testing nuclear arms," be remarked. Kumka suggests an antidote for those who may not apprOYe of current U.S. military I defense posture: consider voting for a woman. An increased female presence in the Senate and House chambers, he maintains. could significantly alter the politieal climate of the eountry. "As the theories of gender development. suggest, our survival may depend on greater openness to the •female voice,' .. he concl udes. 0 onfiict in a couple' involved iri an intimate relationsh•p is natural. But how pan nero deal wuh lhcir problems. and particularly what strategies women usc to resolve a con i.c t, may be the ke) to a succcs ful relationship, a UB researcher bas found . Helena Syna, Ph.D., who is doi ng postdoctoral research in social psychology at UB, concluded that while a ...,.oman's perception of a successful rda· tionship appears to be reOected in bcr problem-solvin& bebavior during conffict situation , a man's behavior is not necessarily consistent with his overall evaluation of the relationship." These findings came from a rtudy of 40 heterosexual coupk:s who ...... either Dlllrried or co-habttating. Synatheoriud from investigations of olhcT researchers lbat couples who perceived themselves as "undistressed" or relatively hapey and adjusted would use a more concthatory problem-solvins or avoidanoe trategy to resolve their dtffereoccs. On the other hand, "she speculated, dissatisfied couples would gravitate toward a more competitive win-lose Strategy, with each pointing a linger of blame at lhc other. Positive problem-solving behaviors include assuming some rcspoJUibility for difficulties, using actions or words lbat indicate support foT the other, explaining one's concerns and making attempts at reconcilia'tion. By contrast, more nega· tive win-lose behaviors include verbal at~ks , hostile questioning. coercive tactics and denial of accusations. Syna further theorized that satisfied couples wbo use problem~ng techniques would not tend toexperienc:econ· Oict spirals, or esealation, and would be more able to restore intimacy after lbe disagreement. · The study used both self repon and observation. melbndologies which previously had not been used in a previous study to investigate intimate relation· ships. SpecifieaUy, the self repon section of the study included six questionnaires individually administered which, among other things, gauged the couples' relationship adjustment. or levels of stress, and assessed their peruptions regarding C thetr style of coping with conOict and that of thetr mate. In the obser>ational oecuon of the >tudy. couples were asked to role-play two conflict situat ions which the y belje,.'td to be peroonally rek:vant and whic!, occurred with frequency in tbetr own relationships. ' A conllict resolution coding scheme was then used to measure the LTategies e.xhibtled in the videotaped interacuons. The codin sebemc included three DIOJOr classes of conflict IUOiution stratezjes: prohk:m-solvtng. win-lose and a\loida.ncc. Syna noted that previous studies on intimate couples bad relied on verb reports about potentially embarnssing subJCCU and thus could be "prone to selfpresentation di tortions." Such methodolog>, she adds, also "'ignores lhc styles, of conflict resolution as potential means for dassif)'Utg couples as distressed or non-<lislressed ." As he had hypothesized, Syna found that distressed coupk:s were lc:ss capable of dealin11 with connict situations in a comtructwe manner, and, in fact, recip-rocated one another's win-looe behavior, which led to conflict cscalalion and a diminished capacity to restore intimacy after a disagreement. The opposite was found true for welladjusted couples who tended to use problem-solving techniques. Interestingly and unexpcetedly the results also showed that "problemsolving for women was predictive of positive adjustment. or low distress. as reponed by both men and women." while problem-solving for men was "unrelated to the adjustment of either partner.• In other words, if a woman viewed ber relationship as successful, she tended to use problem-solving behavior and take more blame for the problem. If she viewed her relationship as unsuccessful. she blamed her partner for lbe difficulties. Men. however. did not ex.hibit Ibis degree of consistency. One interpretation of lhc finding, •ays Syna, is lbat women are "conflict resolution spccialists"in intimate relationships.

She described an altemattve interpretation: "The indicators of a successful relationship for women are not necessarily equivalent with the Ont5 for men.

These women were also the partners who made tbe first overtures to res-tore intimacy in the ielatioruhip. The tendency by these women to assume relatively more responsibility for problems al o seems to have an effect on lheir mates' behavior, prompting reciprocal conciliation by them, Syna reports. Their mates were "unlikely to employ win-lose behaviors such as using coercive tactics. and they tended to take responsibility for problems and ask the other for information about feelings, needs and From page 13 priorities.• she notes.

"After the partners understand the impact of biased perceptioru on connict resolution styles and conflict outcomes and the significance of reconciliation acts, they can be taught the skills and tactics leading to corutructive termination of conllict." she concludes. ,_ 0 I-" �ac:w.ra, , .

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

Thefund will permit the school to recruit a prominent scientist who will add a new dame.nsion to research effons. Triggle said. In adduion.the school has de•eloped a ctntenmal logo. The school is in the process of instituting a new computerized graphia facility to e nable faculty to map molecular structures in three dimensoons, he said. An important facility for molecular visuafiza. tion and drug design, it will be operated jointly by the school and the Medical Foundo.Uon of Buffalo. Tri83le mentioned that the School of Pharmacy will be expanding research in D seoetic eJgineering to develop drugs. Genetie·based techniques have been used in the production of hormones and the receptors with wbich hormones and drugs interact. Scientists are able to make a more direct analysis of drug-receptor interactions by osin& FOCtic techniques, aooording to Triggle. "We wish to build bridges with the community, especially alumni," he said, adding that the school will be offerina continuingeducationtbisfallfortbeftrst time in a few years.

Heroic action by engineering student on Brown aided Public Safety officers in apprehending a robbery suspect on Saturday. According to Senior Investigator Frank Panek.

President Steven B. Sample announced this week. The increased appropriation would cover an additional IS6 full-time positions - a major personnc:l expansion. Tbe budget also embodies what Sample referred 10 as "a bold and innovative agenda to move both SUNY and the University Center at Buffalo forward as national leaders in higher education." Even with that, however. almost twothirds of the requested fundingincrease i earmarked for inflation and on-going programs. UB now has the potential to enter the rank of the finest public universities in the country, the President noted - something the recent report of the Independent Commission on the Future of SUNY also emphasized. But, ample said, "the full potential of this campus will ntW!r be rcaltzcd without the wholehearted support of the (SU Y) Trustees and the he greatest•iogle oeed at U B.

A parasite lives on a nother creature. takmg all 1t nouri hment from that creature. The truth as that much of )our life you have been taught to he dependent on people.

It can he very hard for some oung people to learn this. and 1f it i hard for you, there will be counselors, fac ulty membcn. and other students for you to talk to about it in your college or university. One caution: being independent does not mean being alone. It means •baring. And that leads to self-trap two. • Self-Trap Two: The Putdown Trap. Thinl ing that nobod y really cares what you do. mclud ing your parent~ y, ho are miles av.ay. There are. some students who hide from the v.orld even in coli•$•· and yet college life can be very excittng. Why do they hide? Maybe it is more comfortable that way. Maybe they are very shy. or maybe they are afraid . The trouble with this ~If-trap is that the head gets educated but the emotions lag behind. Taking pan in the college or un iversity world means getting yo ur emotions bumped around a bit. but it also means opening up new worlds for you. Makt your~lf take part, maybe not al-..ays. but sometimes. Work at it! You will be surpdsed how the "who me?" thing disappears when you say .... Here I am!" to others. • Self-Trap Three: The Ostrich Trap. Falling to head orr problems before they grow too big.

Warren Perry the ring his father had bequeathed to bim, because he believed that the foundins dean of UB's School of Health Related Profession (HRP) bad · given him the chance to become the university administrator be is today. Yes. Perry acknowledged, he bas molded some of today's allied health leaders. " I thinl:. the most eJtciting thing a person in administrat ion bas the opportunity of doing is to identify people who you know damn well in many wa are much stronger tban you, and you do everything you can to bring out that leadership potential,· Perry said. ~Besides," hesaid , "I always found that the stronger the person was that I found to work for me and with me, well, they made me look so good ." • Perry, who resigned as dean in 1977 to devote his time to teaching. believes that recognizing and cultivating the leaders of tomonow is one of his talents and accomplishments. He pointed out that HRP bas always bcco considered a leadership center. In 1970, while he was dean, the W.IC Kellogg Foundation awarded him1:500,497 to establish the Health Scieni:eo Education and Evaluation Center to prepare faculty and administtalors for allied health programs. At that time, it was the largest individual grant f.rom a private fonndation ever r=ived by UB. P erry, a pioneer in allled health, came to UB in 1966 because he wanted to lead the University'$ effort to he the first in New York State to educate allied health professionals within a school of allied health. "We were the ones who originated the rec:oanizec1 Ilia.

When UB decided to create the School of Health Related Professions, only 12 such schooll existed in the United States. The first was established in 1929 by SL Louis University. Up until then, allied health professionals bad been trained in hospttals. From 1954 until 1966, when HRP wu established here, occupational therapists, physieal therapists, and medical technolo~ts were educated by the School of Medicine. LBJ 's promise of the Great Society ~ated the need for more health workers in .the '60s and the federal government searched for a way to fulfill this . Perry was one of four dean• invited to Washington D.C. to talk tO a Co11gresional committee about the national IT•· lation that eventually beeame the Allied Health Profeuion Training Act of 1966. Before he came to UB, hewu with the Offia: of Vocational Rehabilitation in the U.S. Department of Healtb, Education, and Welfare. He knew that federal legislation concerniR& allied health was in the making. And be was in the mood to move. A good friend of his, Mary Swittcr, whom be called the grand dame of rehabilitation. said to him one day. "Warren. if you're goiR& to stay any longer in Washington, you're goiR& to baw: to decide that it's a federal job f o = . Is that what you wantr "I said, 'Hell, no. I want out. I want to be more creative,· " Perry remembered. He said that Swittcr told him that at the time the most innovative r~ld was allied health. She said to him.

He intends to donate his Shakespeare and music collection to UB someday. He's not sure what to do with the collectio n ofwctoden toys that were once his grandfather's. There are no heirs. There is ccnainly a PelT) legacy, however. From page 6 Joseph Hamburg, M.D., dean of the CoUeac of Allied Health Profeuions at the University of Kentucky, wrote in 1977, "I don' believe the scholarly community of SUNY Buffalo are as fully aware as they might be of the importance of Dr. Perry's contributions to healtll education and services of this nation . .. of the respect and admiration with which he is held in all circles .... of the reflected glory which Buffalo has attained because he was one or them."

A amhro museum in the course of a campus trivia quiz. That's about the extent of most people's knowledge of the Marian White Research Museum of Anthropology, a growing U B resource that serves both campus and community. Located on the second levelofMFAC. the museum has as its purpose ..to curate in perpetuity the material that we hold and to make it aooe ibk f<K any \..met. or learning experience- research, teaching. and / or ind1vidual. The orientation is on learning," explained Dr. Margaret Nelson~ museum director. Although the museum wasn't formally established until 1979, the facility hu roots which extend back to the 1960s when the late Dr. Marian White, a "'ellknown archaeologist in New York State, was a profes or here. "She(White) felt 11 was imponantthat a research institution have a museum so she began acquiring materials," Nelson said. elson never had the opponunity to meet White, but has learned much about her from those who did know her and from the museum itself. "She was such a strong figure that it's almost"" ifsbc'sstill here," Nelson commented. "The place really needs to have a ponrait of her hanging on the wall, she's such an imponant pan of it." The museum now houses all the materials collected by White as well 85 several other resources used by students, researchers, and faculty. The anthropology library is a popular and growing aspect 11f the museum. The majority of the 5,000 volume collection came from two donations - from the White estate and the Dr. Richard Patch estate. elson was instrumental in securing the Patch donation. "The estate had been up in the air for years. I just stepped in at the right time and asked for the collection." she explained. Patch, an economic anthropologist s~ng in Latin America, taught at UB fro~J968 to 1983. Additional books and materials have been added to the tibrary by faculty and students who regularly donate extra and unneeded texts, Nelson noted. Library materials are available for reference use only and are not loaned out to anyone except graduate students, on a limited bMis. "That way everything is here when you need it," elson said.

"Whatever' here will be cared for forever. • While many of the materials were collected and preserved by White, additions have come from other sources, including some donations from amateur collectors. "There are many people who have been collecting anifacts since they were kids and in their older years they want to see t tbings perpetuated, so they give them to the museum." elson said. M an) materials also come from another entity begun by White, a "contract" program based across the ball from the museum. Through that program archaeologists are contracted to investigate areas slated for construction work usina state or federal funding, elson explained. By law, such areas must have an archaeological clearance before they can be disturbed. "Contract archaeologists conduct shovel tests to see if there are any sites in the area: if they find any (sites), they collect the material from the testS and make recommendations as to the signi!IC81la: of the site and the procedures that should be followed," she explained. Among options available are full excavatiqn or protection, she added. "Archaeological sites are a nonrenewable resource - once destroyed tbey will never come back. That's why we collect this material: it's all that's left to record a site,.. elson commented. For each job done by lbese archaeologists and others who wish to have their work recorded at the museum. an entire record of work done in an area is curated incl uding: all anifacts, fteld notes, "Not an open collection, the facility holds its material in boxes with a concern for preservation."

Although he has already invested •a year of contemplation, a year of observation, and rears of work," Margulis estimates 11 Will be another two to three years before be finishes tbeconservationefTon. During the year of observation, Marguli researched the history of the pole. Ht now surmises il was can.·ed in approx· ornately 1885 by Alaskan Indians. "II has been said that it was over 70 feet high, but I have measured it over and over again and the nearest I can come to that is 45 feet," Margulis noted. In 1900. the pole WM brou ' down through Canada and across the Un11ed tates to Albany. It was to he a sift to Matt Larkin. an inventor who made his fortune from a juke-box-like mochine tbat predated &ltson 'l phon"'J"ltph. His friends, who were frequent guest at Camp Gleason, an exclusive lodge established by Lorkon outside Albany on Burden Lake, thought it was the perfect sift for a man who seemingly bad everythins. But before the t()(cm was erected in I~ in front of Larkin'• Burden Lake house, "it was bastardized," accordi!IJ to Margulis. Five carved, oversized r;11hcas of the heads of Larkin and four friends were attached to the pole, apparently in place of five small totems. (A totem is a symbol, usually representing a clan or some social organization.) "Ori&inally there must have been five small totems - frogs, rabbits aod the like - where the heads 10cre put on," Margulis said. Similarly, a larger rabbit totem being held by the ears was removed and a dedication plaque carved in its p~ . It is believed that at the same time a skeleton, outfitted w a top hat and trumpet .. as · added to the top. "It has been said that there was o story at the camp that if a vtrglD walked by. the hom would blow ... and ot never did ," Margulis related. T he pole stood at the camp on its I"C'V1SCd state untit a seve:re torm blew it doWD ill the late 1950s. David Scboenholt, then owner oft be camp, cut the remains oftbe pole into six pieces and stored it on the grounds. Several years later, Schoen holt's daughter, Laura, bocame on anthropol~ ogy tudent here and offered the polt to the department. In 1978,shebro~~gbt it to the Univeroity and it was plated in the museum. The hi tory of the pole esubhsbed, Margulis embarked on a year of contemplation in which he determined bow to proceed with its restoration. He formed a committee to help him make all the necessary decisions. It was determined that be should attempt to restore the pole with materials like those most likely used in its creation - sharkskin (for sandpaper), fish oil, and northwest Pacific Coast red cedar. Making this deci ion was not nearly as difficult as finding the materials, however. Margulis' search for the wood provideo a typical example: .. I wrote to an Alaskan senator and the After several years of worl,the process toll occupies the majonty of bo tune.

Hunt's dedication broU~~>t taos,ible results that clearly benefited Buffalo's quest for civic revitalilation. Simon said Hunt was "one Q{ the major ficures in the Buffalo jau revival, if not major figure in it ... the city ow him an enormous debt."

He made it his point that all forms of music from traditional to tbe most modem were to be jointly presented." Hunt never forgot local jan anist5 or specifically local concel-ns.

The TrusteeS directed that divestiture of University funds in U.S. companies operating in South Africa be"achieved as soon as prudently possible consistent with the fiduciary responsibilities of the Board." but no later than one year from the date of their action. Further, the Trustees said that in oi-der to assure fulfillment of their fiduciary responsibilities, they would continue to review the University's policy on endowment fund investments and, to the extent there may be meanin&ful change in the racial laws and policies ofthe South African government. consider modification or rescinding of the policy statement in the future. The Trustees also directed Chancellor Clifton ·R. Wharton, Jr.• to explore the possibility of developing additionpl educational programs beyond thoS<'-already inexistepccwi.I.IJ4!SU Y,orincooperation wit'h other Universities or institutions, to benefit students who are disadvantaged or unserved by South Africa's higher education system. Tuesday's action, which was passed by a vote of9to 4, followed a meeting ofthe Board's Investment Committee, along with other interested Trustees on Monday where positions for and a&ainst divestiture were discussed at length. Following the discussion, the Trustees recommended a resolution for t he full Board's action to divest current securities holdings of the endowment funds of the Universi ty in U.S. companies operating in South Africa. The T rustccs' decision follows a resolution adopted on April24, 1985, at which time the Board votced its condemnation of the South African practice of apar- tbcid and approved a policy of selective divestment of holdings tn U-.S. companies doing business in South Africa which failed to comply with tbc expanded Sullivan principles. However, the Board noted that since its ApriJ action. conditions in Sollth Africa have grown more grave with intensified violence and without significant reform measu~ T he Trustees said that in the face of a deteriorating economic and political situation, holdings in companies doing business in South Africa may be susceptible to greater risk and downward pressure on their value. The Board proposed, therefore, that effective immediately there shall be ho further acquisition from monies compris· ing the endowment funds of SU Y of any South African-related assets. The assets would include debt or equity securities issued by firms or corporations doing business in South Africa, securities \ issued by tbc government of South Africa, and securities or financial instruments issued by banks or otbcr financial insti tutions extending credit to t~ government of South Africa.· The Trustees also directed tbose firms whose securities are affected by their action be informed it does not constitute a judgment on the inte&fity of any such individual firm, but rather "represents tbc policy of the University determined on the basis of prudent investment criteria and an overriding concern with human values and the negation of such values by the present racial laws and poticics of the South African government." At the present time tbc University·s endowment fund owns stocks or securities in 13 corporations operating in South Africa which have a combined market value of SII ,SI2,994. Overall, the fund 's investment portfolio totals $90 miltion, the vast majority of which is UB endowment. o • / �·=-·117, No. 5 y HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR early evel)one v.ho hves away from home: whole goong to school has at lea t ont "borrtble roomm.a te" tory to tell uke the creep v.bo never washed.

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

By CHRIS VIDAL T here: w a time not too long ago when women were considered quite literally the "weaker sex." when "well-rounded" was a compliment of a woman's figure instead of her penonality, and when muscles and athletic pro,.ess were the territory of a mon, not his "better half." No longer Unbke women tennis playen who 50 yean ago competed against their calflength skirts as much as they did against the playen on the other ide of the net. today female athleies compete against each other's strength and determination to win. More than the standards of garb have changed . Women are no longer stymied by attitudes that restricted their athletic opponu'nities as recently as a decade ago. Women arc not onty compeling as atb~ letes - their athletic ambitions and goals are being taken seriously. And met. t 8 , the number of -.omenathletic program• has doubled tn the past 10 yean. according to Belly Dimmick . whohassel'\~ "'omen· athleuc director throughout that decade. "What really plca~es me is the change tn atutude about women m spons. fhe acceptance, and the recognition that w~ need thiS." she sa1d . ~our program definitely ha Improved O\er the A years.~ Ten yean ago. the Univenll} offered women's vanity teams in lield hockey. volleyball, lenni . basketball, and swimming. Since then, the program has grown, a.nd now also encompa.sses soccer. cross country, softball, and track and lield. The most recentaddition to the women ,s slate - indoor tract - is scbe· duled to begin this winter. The increase in the number of women's athletic programs is due, at least in part, to a Title IX interpretation that requires colleges aod univenn!CS to offer "comparable opponunmcs .. 10 men' or women' srons program In other '\\Ords, if an in lttuuon offers fhe men· athletiC programs, th<y also must offer fi~ for "·omen Comparable opponurut}.

The amount of funding that each program receives is decided by the Student As~ociation's Athletic Go\ernance Board. The women's athletic programs are funded at S64.000 this year.

In the televised announcement on March 23. 1983. Reagan said, "I call upon the ~ntifu: community in our c.ountry~ those who ga\'e us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents nOW tO the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear ..-capons impotent and obsolete.• The scientific community, of cou-, includes university professors, many of whom hurried to sigo up the research grants offered bj' tbe D<:panment .of O.fense.

The -..-.a_pons would be used against missiles to mc:apacitate them before they could do serious barm. These weapons, called rail guns, could be developed easily because 1he technology already exists to build them. according to Graham. Testifying before Lbe Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, in 1983, Graham uid, "If you worry that this(a kinetic energy weapon) is not technically feasible, I would like to call your attention and the attention of your staff to a document re«ntly declassified by the O.pa.r tment of Defense which was Project Defender.

Rennie, vice president for research and graduate education at UB. A unique concept for research reactors at universities. the ,a rrangement calls for the nuclear rea<>tor to be managed and operated as a subsidiary of tbe Maryland company, while UB retains ownership and licensing of the physical plant. Marshal Greenblatt, Ph.D .. president of Materials Engineerin11 Associates (MEA), said that the subs1diary will ..., aggressively promoting the reaCtor's services to professors at other State Un1versity of New York centers, to industrial researchers in the Western New York area, and to [{)reign governments cooperating in the U.S. government's bilateral exchange programs. • Under tbe terms of the contraCt.

"fhe University's Rad1alion Proteclton Depanment will rontinue to handle d.isposal of nuclear wastes. In addition, the new high technology company w1U manage the facility as a teaching and research institution consistent wllh the goals of the State University of New York. A be nuclear reactor will co'ntinue ta do research on materials and equipment· exposed to radiat,ion for government and T industry. The research includes the study of the effects of radiati o n on material;. neutron acti ilation analvsis of trace element for envjronmentafand exploratory studie , and electron beam and gamma irradiation of marerials for chemical studies. One of the reactor's most important funCtions is tosupplyshort-lhed radioisotopes for research , medicine and industry. l.,.ouis Henry, director of the facilit}• sina 1983, said tbat be will continue to work in the same job, but he will become an employee of tbe new subsidiary. "We wiU be able to operate more effectively under this new arrangement," Henry said, addingthal the facility will be abt. to compe\e for short-terrn nesearch projects under the oew management and have the Ouibility of a private company in purchasing and marketing. Engineering students will continue to work at the facility to gain job sldUs in operating a nuclear reactor. Because of dwindling demand, the University suspended adm"issions to its nuclear engineering degree program in 1980. Present demand is grea(est for engineers who specialize in one area - such as electrical engineering - and have some kqowledge of nuclear engineering. Ope~ed in 1961 , the experimental nuclear reactor operates on low·grade six-pec-«nt-enriched nuclear fuel contained in zirconium tubes. Unlike power reactors, us~s reactor is capable of producing only 2 million watts of power. Power reactors prnduce around 2,000 million walls. reac~ major customer of the nuclear A tor's services. Materials Engineering Associates was founded four years ago by scientists formerly with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Wasbinj:ton, D.C.

The UB anist is one of three whose work has been integrated into this station. Following a campaign to publicize the project in the sprinjt of 1981. slides and biographical matcnal were sent to the N FT A by over 500 artists.

Webster died Friday, September I:., and with her went one of the few remaining lin to the old Univtnity ~ Capen's univenity. She knew Samuel Capen well, used to sit at his side during the drawnout, tedious ceremony of 'goinJ the psbns in sheepskins. They bad uaf tho)SC days and each w personally igned and the signatures carefully dried and blotted. Capen "'rote with a bold nouri h while MISS Web ter applied her name more timidly, bn behalf of the Council. · Christopher .Baldy, John Lord O'Brian, the Crosb . George Crofts, the Schoelllopfs, old Judge Babcock , an· cellor onon, Walter P. Cooke, C aries McCormick Mitchell the Goodyears, she "'orled with them all and could tell tales about most-fascinatmg lottie tidbils of institutional tore. She became a UB institution herself: • A summa rum Jaud• graduate in liberal an . Class of 1923 (also class poet), heexpeneoced the move tot he Main St. Campus when the County's poor house was till located in what is now Hayes · Hall. • She w3Soneofthefust women in the nation to become an assistant tf'Q.Surerof a major university. The first woman ever elected by the Alumni to the Council of the University of Buffalo, and the ftrst female to receive the prestigious Samuel P. Capen Award, the hi~t honor an alumnus could then reoe.vt. • She also helped establish the old Alumnae Association and iu scholarship loan fund. TJu: list of accomplishments is long. So were the yean, from her entry u a freshman in 1919 until her retirement August 31 , 1972 and beyond. Throughout that entire span she lavished lovt and loyalty, all her best efTons. on her University, defending it 10 time of need, relishing its triumphs, above all, carrying on its work. Cabbages were growing on the lawn when Emily Webster first came to the Main Street Campus. She had been attending classes in the original home of the ans conege, Townsend Hall on iagara Square in downtown Buffalo. when there wu a lire which forced classes temporarily to the Main Street site. She was nne of 15liberalans graduates in 1923, tbe "largest" class in the history of the University's arts and sciei)CCS program up to that point. When she failed to lind a job as a Latin teacher, 'her major professor. Philip Becker Goe~di her to a "temporary" job with G rge D . Crofts, then Umversity . UB was then in the process of collecting SS million in pledges from its preeedtnt-setting endowment campaign ol'l920. The next year a Latin teaching job did open up, but against the advice of her mother and Prof. Goetz. she opted to stay on campus. She'd been "captivated by .the world of investments and promised a promotion," she told the Buffalo N~ws years later. During her early years in the Treasurer's office, she made a report or deciS-ions on all money invested or spent by lhe University. She wrote a repon on every security purchased for the endowment fund . For decades, before stafT• of pur· Emily H. Webster ::Y chuins agents were hired, he was in close touch with evtry e peoditure. from white mice for the labs to contracts for new buildings. She wu the first labor relations officer, dealing finnly but afTec· tionately with the "deioi ladocs union" on behalf of the m¥Crsity. The ladies idolized her. In 1930, her title .,..as changed from tStant istant to the treasurer to treasurer. The terminology was changed in 19S I to assistant vice chancellor for busines afTairs and amstanl treasurer. In 1962, shew g;vtn responsibility for the Office of Cont...as Administration and from 1969 to her retirement w as•ociate director of the B Foundation. be watched , dealt with and was pan of change. She watched the old fol movt ofT the Main Street Campus. and tbe com and cabbaJe patches give way to lawn which, in tum, wu upplanted by new buildings and parkin& lots. She saw UB grow, at first tentatively and then in S ings and papen, bound in Moroccan leather, were proudly d1 pia~ out to her belo'-ed hakespearecollectton in ber East urora home. At various points in hercarcerwa!Jo performed the funcuo of secretar) (though the utle · tan!) to the U8 Foundation. the Faculty· tudent Association, and the Western ew Yor uclear Researeh Center. M· Webster wu vice president of the Eastern Auociation or Colkfe and niversny B Officera and wrote a history for that oraan11.1.tion on 1ts SOlb anntversary. She and Hortentc Friedman of the University of CbtCIJO were the first two women to become assistant treasurers of major uruvemu.s: ne1ther, however, becamerlwtreasurer because of their gender, M1 Webster noted occas1onally.

Ways of Erie and iagara Counucs and panicipating agencies, lcided off yestOTday. RobertJ . Wagner, vice president for University serviceo, il chairman of UB's 1985 SEFA drive. "We an: a public Universit , dependent on public help and support. SEFA is the most visible way we can show our support to that community," he said. The slogan for this year' drive. ve YourWay,Support EFA,"ismore n a catchword. It is a realistic view of how the campaign works. SEFA is a convenient, dependable, and effiCient emplorce.<Jircctcd procedure for contribuung to non-profit health, service, and recreational ag<n<ies through_payroll d<ductioos, pledges, or one-time donatioos. UB OTDployees can choose specafic recipients or contribute to ) a gen<ral fund, with allocation of the latter made at the discretion of the SEFA commillee. The SEFA committee, which reviews agency prograros and budgets and allocates funds according to where it feels need t greatest, is composed of six State employees empowered with a total of 12 vola. and ~presenlallves of 1hc charitable federations. who are entitl<d to 10 votes. More than 100 agencies: ranging from local concerns to nat io nal and international health and human n;ce agencies, aro anclud<d an the nlled Wa}· partici· pating f«<rrations.

"We hope all U B employee~ "'ill participate in SEFA thas )car because they can up port thtirfa\·orite a.gcncies that way~" he add«! . The United ay gives direct help each year to one in three Western • rw Yorkers through assistance programs that include alcoholism and drug counseling; help for bauered children and spouses through agenc1es such as Haven Houst and Parents Anonymous; help with energy costs; family counseling through organizations such as Child and Family Services, Cen· ter for Young Parents, and Compass House; blood programs such as the Red Cross and Association for Sickle Cell Disease Inc.; special health programs; emergency relief; programs for the physically and mentally handicapped including the iagara Frontier Vocational Rehabilitation Center, Buffalo Goodwill Industries Rehabilitation Center, the Salvation Army, and a variety of other agencies; services for the elderly, in<'"·1ing a number of neighborhood e< and children's recreation pro&ram.. as Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, <.uri Scouts, Camp Fire, and YMCA. ther federations participating in SEF A include 23 health·relat<d agencies that offer community services. public health education, and professional education and research, and 19 international service agencies that pro,;de food , medicine, education. and tools for long· range self-help development programs and emergency survival needs for more than 38 million people overseas. Supporting SEFA is more than contributing to charity -it is a means of insuring programs will be available when they are needed. That need extends beyond the unemploy<d, the dasadvantagcd and the unfortunate; last year. more than S,OOO tate employees in Erie and i•· gara Countaes were served by a~noes supported by EFA .

The three-year plan, organized by EOC Director Muriel Moore and Leonard Holton. head of the center's data entry faculty, is based on a $180,000 computer system designed to gi~~e students and faculty &like bands-on computer experience. The backbone of the program is a Systems 36 mainframe minicomputer that, in addition to expanding data entry opportunities, will streamline a variety of EOC functions, including clerieal and secretarial capabilities, and access to records and information by management, faculty, and staff. "We're uyiog to take a holistic approach so the equipment isn 'l just there for education but for faculty use and student use," Dr. Moore said. The mainframe computer will connect with IBM-PC and Apple computer terminals to be used both in the classroom and by the staff, with software capabilities that include fully automated records and admissions, and a budget system. "The system will allow us to put terminals in all the counselors' offices so they will be able to key into the file," Moore said. . • Because of the increasing role the computer system will play in the center's functions, faculty has been instructed on its use by Holton, who also was responsible for designing it. Members of the current faculty have been trained to teach in the data entry program, also in response to Three-year plan EOC aims for computer literacy for all the increasing role computers will play. "Most of the faculty volunteered time this summer to learn to use the a>mputers," said Holton, who in addition to teaching at the center, attends classes at U B. worts as a computer consultant, and is a computer operator at Brainworks, formerly Automated Systems Design. The computer system that be hu recommended for the center is designed "so that all our students will ba~~e the opportunity to become computer literate," Holton said . "Our goal is to provide every student who comes in some type of computer keyboard experience." Muriel /lloo"' end Leonerd Holton. T he three-year plan will benefit all students atthei::OC. rather than just those enrolled in the data entry prop-am, Holton said. For example, the IBM-PC terminals will ha~~e color monitors to allow the addition of computer graphics to the graphics communications program. Students in vocational programs such as dental assisting will be exposed to tl!t"1nssics of computer use to prepare them for a job market where many denlists' offices already are equipped with word processors and other computer capabilities. And the secretarial science program will reorient and merge with the data entry prop-am. The brunt of m~ students' computer e><perience at the EOC will be limited to the basics of general use. Holton said. aUhough some computer programming maybe studied. Thecenteralsoi~txplor­ ing the possibility of adding a computer repair program that could serve a dual purpose: pro•ide education in a growing area of the high teeh job market. as well u an in-bouse means of dealing with tune-ups and repairs of the system. According to Moore, the computer terminals chosen for student and faculty use were selected on the buis of an already pro~~en track reeorc1. "We chose the IBM-PC's because that is what is mainly being used out in private industry,~shesaid . "And the Apples have excellent business education software." The EOC actually has nearly completed the first third of its three-year program, Dr. Moore said, with the finalization of plans, tbe development of the system design, and securing the majority of the eq uipmenl. The second stage of the plan now is beginning, she noted , with the training of the faculty and utilization oftbe system in the EOC's data entry programs. The final year of the plan will be develed to "more expansion," she said, when tbe "equipment will be able to provide instructional support for all our systems." The primary objective of the EOC is to provide education-related services to persons whose educational and economic situations have limited their access to learning and job s.kill opportunities. Funded by the State and sponsored by UB, the EOC offers programs in basic education, college preparation including high school equivalency, and preparation for vocational and tecbnieal occupations. AU programs are tuitioo-free. - 0 �vs::-r1t.1• 17, No. 4 12 1~ elephant the dedic:atioo fc:suvttiea and pOICIII for a pbotoaraph.

During the mid-nineteenth century, long before the mass media explosion, advertising was limited to newspapers, signboards. business cards, and other printed material. This deartli of advertising outlets in tandem with a booming Civil War economy sent local businessmen and entrepreneurs scrambling for new and unusual ways to attract potential customer&, notes Marie Hewett. author of the article on Elephant Joe and director of education at Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester. Lucky for everyone concerned. presenting the ordinary with flair was second nature to Elephant Joe. His own shop, which ev'<!'tually moved to 46 Exchange Street, tyfified his promotional benL From roo to basement. the facade of the building was covered with removable panels boasting samples of his work, transforming it inlo .. one gigantic sign . ~ His self-portrait hung at the peak, over which Joe managed to prop a cut-out of an elephant.

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

GSEU continues to work while it waits for PERB By JILL·MARIE ANOIA !though still a"'aitinll action on its petition for cerufication as the exclusive bargaining repre· sentati\'t of graduate assistants (GAs) and teaching assimnt (TAs), the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) has a full agenda p180ned for this A (all. The group hopes to "create an awareness" of the benefits a union can bring, according to Tim McGreevy, Buffalo representative to the GSEU State Eaecutive Committee and a third-year graduate students in linguistics here. To date, tbeGSEU bas an active mem· bership and iu own constitution but bas yet to be recognized by the State of ew York as a SU Y-wide bargaining ageqt. The group submitted a petition for that authority to the Publoc Employment Relations Board (PERB) in January but approval is pending while the bolUd ascertains that the signat,ues represent at least30peroentoftbeGAartdTA~ ll1ency, McGreevy explained . ,..; He added that once the signatures are verified and the proper show ol interest in unionizing established, PERB can take two courses of action. The Board could oenify the GS i U as an official bargain· ing representative or it could sponsor a cenification election: If the election option is chosen, the ballot would include the GSEU and any other union interested in representing the GA/ TA interest; also included on the ballot would be a "no representation" choice for those opposed to the union idea. "If the petition is approved, the GSEU will cover all SUNY university centers and coll<:ges," McGreevy added . Whik awalling PERB' decisoon, the GSEU i concerning itSelf with orgaoizational matters. A "steward system" bas been established; each depanment no has a GSEU teward. or representative. for graduate students to contact. "We get the reaction of people from each department through the toward; McGree•1 said. "We're a grass-roots organizauon - we get our ideas from what peopl<: say." Several issues already been brought to the GSEU",-'all of which will guide the workiogs of the group this f . Through a newsl<:tter, advertisong. nyers, and regularly scheduled meetings, the GSEU will attempt to "show what's going on and the reasons to have a union,'"' M'cGreevy noted. h• . ne is$<11: at GSEU has already addressed this semester is "payless payday, • a result of the current payroll system that affects aU State employees. Paychecks are is ued bi-weekly, wub a one pay-perind delay so tbat the check received os actually for work do"" three and four weeks before payment arri\-es. "We'd rather have pay on time instead or gelling an enracheck after classes end in June, • McGreevy said. Payless payday, Sept. 4, was the subject of a GSEU Mwsletter and was also brought to the attention of President Steven Sample through a letter-writing campaign, McGreevy noted . ...The current system is really inconvenient - rent. utilities, books, and transponation expenses aU come at the beginningoftbesemester,"hesaid .

Citon& the current $4,800 {per academoc year) minimum salary for T Ast GAs as too low, McGren-y not01 that hiring a graduate 5tudent hill-time only m.a.kes conditions worse. " We just don' think ($4.800 per )'Cat) is livable, and to plitthat in bill is reaUy not livabl<:." he Slid. "It forces you to get another job so you can have enouab money to live on, yet you're supposed to be a student; too ... McGreevy is aware of systems used at other universities for dcttrminiog the pay and duties of ~aduate studentS, some of "'bicb determone pay by rating the duties done by an indivodual on an e tablisbed university-wide scale. -~~5 schools, lik.e the niversity of Mi~ at Ann Arbor. have fractional appointments - tbe,Y give you a percentage of a line dependtn& on the amount of work you do," McGreevy noted . "We want something lilte that here at UB. something less artibrary. There should be a standardized evaluation of work done." M cGreevy urged that the basic GA / TA salary be increased to $8,000 per academic year. "The disparity between salaries of professors and T As is disproponionate.

Return deadlines also wit be extended to bclp cue the transition. "We are extending due dates so books being checked out now will be due no earlier than the ftrSt of November; Lyonl said . The extensions are intended to diminish the number of books brought to tbe library during the movin& period.

Abbott Hall, originally built in 1935, has been undergoing renovations since March, 1983, and the $5.5 million project includes a 5 l,()()(kquare-foot addition. While there are no plans to enlarge tbe Health Sciences Library's 236,000 volume collection, tbe added space will allow library offiCials to bring back materials that have been in storage, including the pre-1940 journal collection.

Library officials originally had hoJ.>O<I to move the bealtb sciences collecuon from Kimball to Abbott before the stan of lbe School of Medicine's semester on Aug. 19.

Roswell Park iJ already pan of the UB Medical School's teaching hospitals system. "I would like to increase' the inter· change helween the two institutions among the graduate programs," he comments. Roswell Park has a large post· graduate and doctoral program operated by the Roswell Park Graduate Di•ision of UB. All institute scientists in this di- vision are UBresearch faculty members as well Two other areas where Dr. Wright plans to strengthen Roswell Park/ UB ties are in faculty recruitment and residency programs for physicians. He would like Umversity department chairmen and depanments to have greater input in recruitment for new institu~emic otaff, panicularly in the cltntcal areas. A large proportion of the institute's clinicians also have faculty appointments with U D's School of Medicine. "In particular, I would like to develop residency programs (for physicians-intraining) at Roswell that would be pan of UB's system of residency l?rograms," be explains, adding that "tb1s would also apply to post-graduate training programs."

For a while, everyone seemed to ignore the odor of lhcir presence and tbe honktnl at all hours and enjoyed the acesc. but lhcn naiUK got confuted. ln January the geese too lhc roles of nestina mdtller and protecti•-e males. With a round of honkinc and a ettarse for the kncccap, lhc geese would scod any Intruder runninJ. The aecse were not only confused about the season, they also seemed bewildered about choosmg one nesting ite. They left egg in IC\eral places, unprotected from the freczina tempe~a-· tures.

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

Then men stl!fled crying in public, the dollar became as laughable as the peso, and the U.S. lost a war. Teachers brought their A's to the registrar's office in wheelbarrows; there was one for everybody. It was onfy polite. · Now come Rambo, Reagan and their fellow travelers, impolitely restoring "standards." Central America is bearing tough talk: from Washington. Educators are being bushwhacked with indignant reports on how they've botched things. The dollar is trong, and, according to national reports, an A is becoming an A again. PrinCeton is cracking down. Penn State is stabilDcing. · · And what of UB? Are any excesses being squeezed out of the grading ystem here? I he wcr to that, according to T fKUity members and administrators questioned by tbe is easy. Yes. an R~porlq, aa:onling to tnformation supplied by tbe OIT'K:e of lnstitutiOIII] Studieo (sec ...;ompanyingchut), U B is following the nation-wide tn:nd. Fewer bi&h grades and more lo &ndcs have been pven in n:«nt yean. But tbe second part to th.a t question is much banter: Why? Reasons offen:d by one person wen: quietly n:jected b the next. There was a COD.Knsus on a few points. however. Those interviewed said then: probably is no single reason for tbe tn:nd. The data availa.ble an: insufficient to suppon or disprove any of the theories. An intricate study would be needed to lind an answer, and even that might not uneovertbecomplex causes, they reason. A n:«nt anicle in 1M Chronick of Hixh~r EdtKation n:poned a stabilization of grades not only in tbe Ivy l..eaguc and in the Nittany Mountains but also at the Univcnity of Michigan, and Califor· nia State Untversity. C. James Quann. n:gistrar at Washington State. cOnducted a nation-widt study of grading. Grade poin1 averages (GPAs) have fallen at every institution be queried, acconliftg to the Chronick article. 7'h~ Chrbnick attributes~ trend b diverprimarily to reforms mstitu sities since the mid-1970. whe en: was substantial inflation of grades. Grade inflation seems to have ~n tamed by a combination of .stricter evaluations by professors, cutbacks in options sucb as pass/fail grading. and incn:ascd attention to bow student performance i assessed. Is that the story at UB? It depends on whom you tall< to. arbara Howell, professor of physiol· ogy, has held several positions with the Faculty Scnate·and chain:d its grading committee. She drew out several gtapbs based on Institutional Studies data to get a better pictun: of the situation bcrc. B One of the graphs showed that grade dcllation occurn:d in the Faculttes of A ns and ters and Social Sciences as wdl as in atural Sciences and Mathematics. o smgle ftcld seem to be grlldmg banter. "It's a ben! phenomenon," Howell mused. "But wh.a t started the bent in that direction?" She theorized that the math and writin& sldlls ncquin:-nts of tbe General Education program may have pulled grades do'l"'l. Students who would bave avoided math in the past now must face up to it. They may be fmding, too, that how they cxpn:ss their thoughts in writing is considered as imponant as what those thoughts an:. To get 1 wider angle on the subject, Howell n:fern:d to a self~dy done in 1972 at UB. Grades rose from 1965 to 1970, and the present deflation hasn\ yet brought &ndes back down to the 1965 level, she found . Between 1965 and 1970, the trend sumed to be toward taking S f U courses, she said. By 1976. grades A through ~ oonrututcd ollly about 60 per cent of all gradeopven to undergraduates. AltboUJb the number of grades A through F is nsing. it still bas not returned to the 1965 level, she noted. "Maybe one of the reasons the number of A's and B's was lower 10 1965 was because c\lerybody bad to take 1 grade, • she su£J!C$ted. Many people she bas talked to have also suggested that tbcqualityofstudcnts has aooe up. "It may not be 'quality,' bo~r. that can be meuun:d, but attitude, "sbe ~ "1bc studen want mon: despcratelyio · learn." But no &rJU!Ilent for the inen:asc or dec,......aseia tbcquality ofsrudcntscao be made from tbe data available, $be pointed out.

Baier, Ph.D., P.E., an internationally-known biomedical eDJincer scientist, bas been appointed director of the Health~ Instrument and Devices lnstotute (HIDI) at UB. HID I. an advanced technoiO!)' center, was funded iniually in 1984 to develop and evaluate health tnstruments and devices in cooperation with industry. While more than SSOO,OOO in industry· related .-arch bas resulted since HIDI's inception, efforts wiU be intemiflcd to meet the full opponunities available throughout Western ew York and else· where. University pokespersons say. Original funding and subsequent matching funds for HIDI wen: provided through the New York Department of Commerce's ~.cience and Technology Foundation. • Dr. Baier's credentials and past experieoet in the fields of engineering as well as surface cbemistry will pr e rene,.cd impetus in fostering a relatinnsllip between local and University scientists and industry which can result in improvements in lbe Western New York economy," says President Steven Sample. · Baier, a registered professional chemical engineer and a nationally oenified environmental engineer, holds eight patents and is founder of Baier, Joe., a st&ltup company located at lbe Western New York Technological Development Center at 22 II Main SL Other investors, according 10 Baier. are assuming control of that company as he takes directorship of HIDI . A faculty member in UB's Depanments of Biophysical Sciences and Oral Pathology •ince 1970. Baier was a taff scientist at An in / Calspl\n Advanced Technology Center pnor to jo1ning B full-time. His achievements, which lll 1983 earned him the prestig~ousCiemson Award from the oc1etyofBiomaterial .include ,.ork on the interior surface of the anifiCial human bean and developmeot of lbe umbilical cord vein grafts. His research on determining propentes of the urface wn of dolphins, conducted at lbe Aquarium of iagano Falls, were to be featured t · month on NBC's "Today" program. With more than 200 ruean:h publications to his eredtt., ineludiogjoumal anicles, books, tellt chaptas and oudio ousettes, Baier h al o iCVed on the editonal board of the Jount~~l of Bio,.,d•clll MaJmals RUHTC~t for more than a decade. • He has been 1 consultant for American C'-Janamid, Meadox Mcdicals, Cordis Corp., Baxter Travenoi,Science Applications, W.L.

A similar surface, be adds, once existed in the dining room, living room, and library. In his research, O'Hern makes frequent references to tbe often wry, orten poignant correspondence of Wright and Martin, as contained in 250 letters writlen between-the two men from 1902to 1935. These lettas, a gift to UB from the Friends oftbe Darwin D. Martin House, an: housc:l in tbe University Archives. Also available are the letters of contract, letters orifering materials for tbe bouse, blueprints and taped interviews with tbe two Martin children, all of which materials the ,University owns. BeforQO'Hem and his team go about rippinJ! 0111 an; walls, they have "a pretty good tdda" o what they will flnd, by vinue oE-'their research. Recently, for example, O'Hem and his associates "did a lot of .research about what was supposed IQ.bappen in tbe lobby area, befo~ we tore .!Jut a wall. WeU, we tore it out, and~Gnd we found what we ex to fllld, wbicbislbe base oflbe wooden n which used to hide lbe stairs." . · every case, "full documentation of bOth construction and appearance . is req~ before any changes can be made," pndates lbe advisory board statemeDI. Fur-nUhiop, too, add a great deal to the restotation effort. Nearly all furniture in the bouse consists of onginal Wright pieces, if ncit original to lbe house. Tbe original dining room table was apparenlly thrown out, but Martin family photos show a rouncj table (later found in the basement) present in the dining room. SAED student Stephen Koy, who is also completing blueprints of the or.iginal Baier is a membtt of nllmtrous prof an addiuonal SIO million. A majority of theie efforts, Baier potnts out, have involved health/ medtcal related devioces, a cate,ory wb.i.cb, aa:ordin& to federal page 7 fireplace, is restoring that table, along with other furnitun: . In addition 10 ~be few ~Tree of l.ile" windows th6t do remain in situ, two doors from the demolished conservatory are on extended loan. "These are obviously wonderful to have beeause there\ no more conservatory, 70 says O'Hem. He bas obtained bid> to rebuild lbe original windows in one room of lbe bouse. These bids are based on tbe manufacture of tbe windows in the original materials. Tbe information gleaned will be used to apply for add.itional renoration grants.

Benjamin Townsend and his .,.,re Jeanette Townsend, gove the Manm House 1wo 18th century Japanese prints from tbe series "The M1rror of tbe Beauties of lbe Green House" by Hanarubo. Two prints from the same series w;,re among those selected by Wright for the Martin House, O'Rem explains. Tbe C1llator believes such gifts point to an incn:ased public confidence in the University's reotoration effort. O'Hern and the advisory board are also studying the room which once served as M anin 's study as a pouible site for a gift shop. isitors continue to view this imponant piece of American architecture. O'Hern estimates that 25 per cent of Martin Howe visitors are from out of state; many come to Buffalo rpecifteally to see the bouse. Recent tours have been arranged for visitors from the Cleveland Museum of An, !Uinois Institute of TechnoiO!)', and the University of Toronto. "We've bad b!Woads of lcids from Ohio and other states, architecture students, city planners from Toronto and elsewhere, an students and interior designers." Two regular tours are held eacb week of the year and inte~ persons may also telephone O~ern at 716831-3485 to arrange tours at other times. As pan of the renoration effort, O:Hern will travel to Wright's Willits House in Highland Park, lUinois, the famed architect's first "prairie" bouse, built in 1902. This bouse, says O'Hern. "is being tolally restored with adequate amounts of money. I'm going out there to check on their techniques, etc." In addition, be will lecture on Manin House restoration at Wright's Hollyhock House in ~ Angeles, another ~right-designed buJ)d•n& open to the public.

Practice yoga to help develop a body full of health and vigor, and a mind that is sharp; sharp, sharp, but quiet when necessary." Yogi Ram is a testament of whu he preaches. He is; an active. vigorous. healthy, happy man - who incidentally is 12-years-old. A native of India and a retired deputy-superintendent of police. he has practiced yoga for 50 years, and a1 an age when many peof>le are physically infirm. he has the Oexibility of a baby, the energy of a hoy. He has exceeded the average life span of hos countrymen by about 20 years. Ho can bend his body into posl'llros that most college students would find torturous tf not downright impossible, and has such complete control of his abdominal muscles that ho is able to extend his stomach to the right or the left, or to ..churn., it from side to s;ide. These stomach lifts, he says. massage the digestive tract to make it function more efrlcient.ly and to remove impurities that collect there and lead to disease, but learning the technique ...takes time · and determina-tion. "Other p<>Jtures, Yogi Ram says, are Simpler, "but vory effective." V oga is good for the body, the mind and the spirit. It tones the mukles •nd sharpens the intellect. It is more than just a series of postures that limber and stretch tho body. Yoga is a holistic approach to a better life, he says. "Things tate the shape that tho generation gives it.

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

Arts and Sciences pre-major advising program new Arts and ~oes premajor advising program is n<>w underway, saiil Josie Capuana. acting assistant dean of Undergraduate Academic Se.rvices. The new program will not replace. but will enhance the current general Univrrily ad•~sement program. she.explain<d. A pilot project. tbe new program will run this fall a:nd spring, Capuano said . It will use faculty, rather than professional staff. as advisors. "We see it as a bridge between general University advisement and deJl!lnmental ' advisement," sbt said. The office is locat<d in 106 Norton. Advisement will be offer<d on 11 drop-in basis. but it is preferred thai students make an appointment with the recepllonig~ 10 Norton. Or, students may call 636-24 . The ew program is a joint effort of raduate Academic_.Services (formerly known as DUE) • .the Faculties of Arts and Sciences. It came out of discussions concerning UB's a ttrition prob- lem that were held between Richard Jarvis, associate dean of Social Sciences, Barbara Howe. associate dean of Social Sciences; and' Capuana. . .

During general advisement, the professional staff can give information on major requirements. tell students bow to 1 sequence courses, and iive suggestions to undecided students on possible majors.. There is so much available to students it can be mind-boggling, Capuana sai8. There are joint majors, double majors, major may say he or sbe wants 10 work with people, but not in health care, Cap\Jana said. The professional staff advisor may eliminate Health Related Prof..siom and steer tbe student toward Social Sciences. A faculty advisor might then discuss the different aspectS and nuances of that field with tbe student. Or, someone who ba decid<d to be a math major may wish to talk 10 a facult)' advisor about which of the different tracks offer<d in that·depanmenfwould suit the student best. Then lbe stUdent could meet with a prof~sional staff8dvisor and d&:uss requir<d COW'SeS. Some stuilents may be doing poorJy or feel in limbo bec;ause they've been dropped by a department. Faculty ad~;­ sors can counsel tbese students on other options in the Univrrsity so l.bey don't feel their only choice is to transfer, Captiana said .

"U nder my ad ministration, there wool be a dramatic change" in FNSM, he said. wo of George's primary goals arc to work on undergraduate advisement and to increase spo nsored scientific T research actiYlty in hi faculty. "One of the changes I'm conctroed about i to increase awarcnes of undergraduate education," George wd. "I'd like to increase the exa:lleoce of teaching and advisement of undergraduates."

"The potential is here, but the visibihty is not as high as it should be."

Hatchell and Rube were arno the panicipants in e\llOnts sponsored ntl by the Buffa~{) Museum of Scial<:e to coincide with the aonual exhibit of its boomerang collection. Hatchett gave a workshop that coveml the d~ign , construction and testthrowini of boomerangs. A ~ oomerang' competition was also held. He also exhibited his technique at a throwing demonstration.

People who l~row boomerangs, or "boomerangcrs." are "not as flaky as some of the frisbee types," he added. He noted that frisbees are uniform disks mass-produced by a company, but most boomerangcrs make (heir own. " Boomerangs can be e\llOry single possible shape imaginable." Ruhe noted. • A person ~s imagination can rur. berserk." Boomerangs used in competition can have just two .. wings," taking the simple bent shape people are most familiar witiL But they can have three, four, five or more wings. • The wings act as aiTfoils; they're like the wings of an air(>lane, Hatchett explained. The basic pnnciple that governs boomerangs is gyroscopk; action, such as that of a gyroscope or a spinning top. The speed oft he spin,Jorward thrust and changing of air pressure. co r¥ined, with the air foiJs and gyroscopic action~ make the boomerang go forward and come back. • Many boomerangs are made of wood or plastic, but Hatchell is experimenting with metal "It's a field that intrigues me because I'm a metal sculptor," he said. At the throwing demonstrataon. many of the boomerangs had a solid coat of neon orange paint, making the!ll__easy to spot. But they come in all colo~ and many are decorated with stripes and innovative designs. Some people purchase the fancier ones as an pieces rathtr than as sportS equipment. .. Function is by far the most imponant - the w~y you throw it and catch." Hatchett argued . "Aesthetics are secondary. " Boomerangs combine art and sport, explained Ruhf as he dashed aroup.d the 17, No.1 museum fteld, leaping to catcb his boomerang.

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

The case was originally brought to the court by Barbara · Nadrowski, M FCSA director of academic affai rs, and Barbara Kaczmarek, M FCSA director of in!emal affairs, in opposition to President Chuk Mmegwa's interpretation of an MFCSA constitutional amendment.

The l"'!O SWJ justices who heard the case ruled Mmegwa's i nt~rpretation incorrect, thus affmning the voting rights of . Kaczmarek and Nadrowski. "The problem is that the wording of their (MFCSA's) co nstitutio n is wea k and has to be inte rpreted ," Lo reryzett i noted . . An M FCSA internal conflict concerning who is entitled to be a voting member of its executive committee has left all decisions made by that body since the elections last April in question.

PARCEL B y UBF Corj}oration planS shopping mall ·on Amherst Campus "~~ T By t HRIS VIDAL he Unive rsity·at Buffalo Foundation Corp. has unveiled plans to build on the Amherst ·:. { ~... Campus a mini-mall designed to meet the needs of students, faculty, staff and nearby residents. The plan, pr_oposed by Dl Des_ign and Development of Baltimore, Maryland, will be located on the 13.3 acre plot of land known as Parcel B, overlooking Lake LaSalle and adjacent to the John James Audubon Parkway. Follell's Unive rsity Bookstore, which presently occupies 20,000 square feet of the site, will serve as an anchor for t~>,e mini-mall. The main objective~e development. according to UBF Corp. President ~oh~. Caner Jr .. is 10 provide a range of shopping opportunities for people who work at. live on and visit the Amherst Campus. "Foll~tt's University Bookstore is trying to fill this major void, (but) one organization can't be everything to everybody ... he said. "And Folletl'scertainly is doing its best. The bookstore is respondi ng to the needs ot students to the best of its ability... Obviously, though , there are limitations, Caner sa id . For example. a bookstore cannot fill a prescription . "We've got to make the mall sensitive to the market." he said. Of the 10 developers origi nally app roached. five submi lled by the mid-July deadline preliminary paperwork indicating they will compete for the contract to develop the Parcel B mini-mall. The dead line for the · final pro posals is August 16, and a decision on who will develop the land is expected by October I.

The second annual Faculty Development Workshop will be conducted by Dr. Claude E. Welch, professor of political science, and Dr. Frank T . Schimpfhauser, assistant dean, School of Medicine, who co--chaired the Faculty Senate Comminee on Teaching Quality which initiated the program. "'The workshop was begun (last year) because of a sense that we have a fair number of new facult y each year who have primarily research backgrounds,.. said Welch. "'We are helping them _develop hands-on skills in teaching, testing and research." Topics to be covered in the four-<lay workshop in Baldy Hall include: student and University expectatio ns of faculty. components of effecl ive teaching, assessments of teach ing and student performance. and faculty services that are available through the University. Two half-<lay sessions also have been sched uled in the fall to disc uss faculty research and requirements. Participants wiil have an opportunity to present a condensed version of the ir opening class plan during the workshop's small group sessions, which also will be used for mini~seminars on topics such as writing good test items and evaluating the results of testing, writing and grading good essay questions, and assessing stu· dents in clinocal settings. Speakers and group leaders are "distinguished members of the University community," said Welch, and were chosen to participate in the program on the basis of the quality of their teach ing skills and availability. . _ About 50 faculty members who have been' hired by the University since January 1985, areexpected IO participate in the Faculty Development Workshop, . which ;s sopported by a $30,000 grant I from the United University Professions (UUP) Commiuee on Professio nal Development and the Quality of Working Life, Office of the President and Office of the Provost.

Immunization could prevent liver cancer, lecturer says By MARY BETH SPINA rimary cancer of the liver could be vinually eradicated by early and widespread immunization against the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) which research has linked to development of the malignancy. says Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg, M.D., Ph.D ., associate director for clinical research at Philadelphia"s Fox Chase Cancer Center. Blumberg. who delivered the 15th Ann·ual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lec- -'ture in the s pring at UB's Center for Tomorrow. first identified H BV as the agent of Hepatitis Band . with colleagues, subsiquently developed an effective vaccine against · the infectious agent. The agents wh ich cause Hepatitis A and Hepatitis · on "A/ Non B have not yet been identified. Since a persist en t, chronic H BV infeclion appears necessary for developm ent of primary capcer of the li ver, those who expedence an acute bout of Hepati_tis B and recover do no t have increased risk for · the cancer. While primary cancer of the liver is r-elatively rare in the U.S .. h is more widespread in other parts of the world, notably Taiwan, mainland China and pans of Africa. in Taiwan, for instance, it 1s the second most _common cause of · death in "men. P · "'There is a high prevalence of carriers of HBV in areas where primary liver cancer is common," says Blumberg. Further evidence shows the surface antigen is found in the cancer as. well as its surrounding cells: While not every person who is identified as an HBV carrier will develop primary cancer of the liver. the odds are 40 per cent or higher in carriers among cenai,!l populations _studied. While males are more likely than females to be H BV carriers and develop the disease ... it is important that children born to mothers identified as ca rriers be p.rotect~d from the virus immediately after binh with the H BV vacci ne which is now being manufactured around the world," Blumberg told th e aud ie nce. As more countries begin producing the vaccine. its cost will dec rease, he .adds. Vaccine production is underway in mai nland China. fo r instance', where primary liver cancer is more prevalent. and all newborns now rece ive the vacci ne. Inthe U.S., those who appear most at risk fo r developing Hepatitis B infections are those in the health field. such as nurses. ·physicia ns and dentists. who contract it through handling blood and other body Ouids of patients. Also at risk are drug abu sers Who share common needles. Unfonunately. many of those in these high-risk categories have not availed themselves oft he vaccine, says Blumberg. Preceding Blumberg's lecture, Felix Milgrom, M.D., chairman of the UB Department of Microbiology, presented the annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Award s for Proficiency in Microbiology to medical student _DavidS.

Students learn in their creekbank of a classroom By JILL-MARIE AND IA ' w elcome to Anthropology 338, where the classroom is a creekbank and you really have . to dig · to learn so meth ing. Here along the banks of Tonawanda Creek in Pe mbroke from May 28 to July 5, eight graduate and UQdergraduate st u· dents from a variety of majors gathered for a thance to uncover some of Western New York's history and gain. hands-on experience in archaeology. The course, A\f haeology Field Researc h, ls an annu ummer offering of the Anthropology artment that has been responsible for se raJ =ava. tions in Western New York. The Pembrol>s- site was selected by instructors Margaret Nelson. She had several areas to select from while determining the location-of this year's "classroom" but cl!ose the creekside for several rtasonS. . The first was the apparent abundance of material located there. "The whole area is full of artifacts," Nelson noted. "'There arc even some on the surface." Another factor that drew her to the site involves the dynamics of t he area,. which has been disturbed by man and nature. .. The site is in the creek's flood plain there is constant overwashing and flooding in the spring - and people have walked here, .. Nelson said ... It giVes even more importapce to the work we do here since the site may be gone in a few years. •• he class began work in the area by tak ing 140 .. shovel tests.·· a series of small , foot-deep holes that are dug and the content of th e exhu med soil examined. "For each (shovel test) we examined the conten t and density of artifacts ... Areas were grouped together by what was found and we came up with six categories." Nelson explained . With these six categories in mind, class members broke off into pairs and began excavating ••units ... These approximately five-foot sq uare areas were each chosen to represent a different category. Determining the method for proceeding with the excavation of each unit is pan of the educational expe rience. "There's no one set way to proceed ," elso n noted. Despite obstacles of roots and stones. eac h unit was excava ted to a de pth of a foot or more. The stud ents mapped the locati on of th ei r units and the co ntours of the land . "Each pair is res ponsible fo r taking notes on what they find a nd mapping their square,., elson said. Work on a unit was o nly co mpleted when roots got too large or no artifacts T were discovered at the deeper levels. Each group was able to complete at least two units during the.time period of the course. he amateur a.rchaeologists also worked at mapping the entire site using a surveyor's instrument. .. The surveyor's instrument is a technical tool that takes time to teach the students how to use ... Nelson said . "'The course offers the opportunity for each one to take a turn and stay with it until they feel that they can use lhe equipment with a cenain degree of skill." More than 1,000 anifacts were found in this first excavation of the area. Each day's discoveries were brought to UB's an thropology laboratory. where they were washed and described in detail. After this stage. they were c urated in th e ~hropology Museum . Nelson explained. Based on the findings. Nelson da tes the Pembroke site as 1000-2500 B.C. She ex plai ned that the method used during different periods of history to form arrowheads and other pointed instruments ,sives them a uniqu e shape. This makes tt possible to approx_imate the age of the site based on the shape of the points found there. Many of the anifacts found are nakes - pieces of stone that have been c~ipped away fro m a large r stone during a toolmak ing process. Also among the artifacts arc many utilized nakes." " Prehistorically. often they would hit a rock and use the flake as a tool to slice or . scrape," Nelson said. " It is still considered a flake beca use it hasn't been shaped." Unifaccs. stones shaPed o n o ne face, and points arc also amo ng th e fi nd s. T light-colored soil. A. few bits of charred wood fo und within the darker eanh confirmeCJ the fact that it was used as a hean h. The other"featu re"fou nd was the trace Qf a hole which once supp oned a beam or pole for an undetermined purpose. Based on these findings , Nelson has concluded that t~e area was used prehistorically as a site for hunting, fishing. and tool making. "'They could come down here. where there is a limest one so urce, fashion their tools and then fish or wait for the deer to •come down from the woods to ge t water.·· \she said . . She poi nted out that the area is still rich in the resou rces that must have attracted prehistoric man. It f<ills a long the Onondaga Escarpment. a huge ridge of limestone which ex tends from Buffalo he group also d iscovered two "features: .. remnants of the past th at are T immobile . One un it co nta ined the remains of a hearth , a semi~i rcular area of dark soil surrounded by the natural eas tward toward Le Roy. Embedded in this limestone are nodules of che n . "Chen was the stone used for tools because it's easy to n ake a nd shape, .. Nelso n said . • The area a lso has many creeks and a marshy area to att ract waterfowl. Nelson said she is su re that the creeks were loaded with fish for these hunting a nd gathering peoples. elso n hopes to cO nt in ue to bring N summer field course students to the site for at least two more years. TAs Lee Hunt and Kim Banolotta agree that the excavation in Pembroke was an excellen t ex perience for all involved. "This ite is excellent for teaching • techniqu e and finding material." H.un t said. The st ud ents fro m the class a lso agreed that the crcekbank is a good place for .gai ning a very ed ucational ex perience. " It is a great way to decide if this type of thing is for me - I've enjoyed it so far and I think th is is the kind of wo rk I want to d o," said Sue Vi llaco rt a.

Shakespeare's specacula,- and subtle play about revenge and reconciliation, will e staged at 8 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays through ·Aug. I I behind the Rose Ga,-den of Delaware Pa,-k . · The Tempest is the concluding production in the tenth annual season of frC:e ''Shakespeare in DelaWare Park" presented by the UB Department of Theatre and Dance. It will be directed by Peter Clough, formerly with the Royal Shakespeare Company an now with Britain's Guildhall School of usic and Drama. The Tempest is con ·de red Shakespeare's·last play and also o of hinhortest and most finely-crafted orks. It is the story of Prospyo . the banished duke of Milan, whose absorption in books had allowed his scheming brother to seize power in his home city. As The Tempest opens, Prospera is in control of a magical isle, where the play takes place. Serving Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, are the delicate spirit Ariel and Caliban, the monstrous son of the witch Sycorax. By magically raising a tempest, Prospero succeeds in wrecking, on tbe shore of the island, a ship carrying his old enemies, including his brother. A1 first, Prospero is tempted to seek revenge. Eventually he uses magic to effect a match between his beloved daughter and Ferdinand , the son of one of his enemies. T; ecause of its many themes and stirring complexity, The Tempest often elicits awe from audience, actors and directors alike. Yet it must be remembered. says Clough, that The Tempest"is also a very good adventure story. a very good yarn," loaded with opportunities or dramatic conflict. .Though the play is filled with magic, Clough's production will acknowledge he play's factual basis: A series of pamhlets published in 1610 d iscussed the ecmingly miraculous survival in 1609 of shipwrecked pany on its way to Virgiia that escaped to an uninhabited island n the Bermudas. An original recorded core by Ray Leslee will convey the magic nd lush so unds of Shakespeare's island, here individuals from the .. sophistiated world of coun society" suddenly md themselves "in th e most obscure: natraJ surroundings," said Clough. Adds the Britis h directo r: "The themes f the play are common to much ofShakepeare's writing: power struggle, usurped uthority, revenge, violence a nd mad- B ness. But, like the other late plays, it is also about reconciliation. 17re Tempest concerns parents and children, ume, journeys to ~the . sea, loss and recovery. Ultimately, the play deals with nature and art, magic. ritual and the theater itself. It is a leave-taking, both by Prospero and Shakespeare." Directing his firSt open:.air production, Clough said he befieves "the audience in Buffalo is more like the audience Shakespeare would have been used to, than we are used to in the modem theater. In Delaware Park, we're doing the play in circumstances so much more like the context Shakespeare intended his plays to be· performed in_" Like Shakespeare . Clough said he must rel y on the reso urces of his actors rather than on technical stage wizardry to conveY the fantastic events in the play, ils when an entire banquet disappears in the third act. he stage designed by Gvozden M. Kopani is marvelously well-suited to T The Tempest. says Clough. "It conveys the formalit y of an Elizabethan theater. It also resembles both a ship and a village dwelling in a tropi cal rain fo rest. •• Playing the magical Prospero is Saul Elkin.

On display will be works in film , video, photography, creative sound, computer arts and holography - the products or programs offered by the New York State Summer Schopl of the Media Arts, held annually here at UB. Holography is a new program of the school, begun this year be use or the interest of one student, Pamel Wenck of Beaver Dams, New York. "She (Wenck) may be the first igh school woman to pursue holograph ·n her curTiculum, as there are very re opport un ities," nllled·..Or. Gerald O'Grady, artistic director. Over the course oft he s ummer, Wenck has received expert advice from R. Scott Lloyd, director of the Educational Services Department at the Museum of Holography in New York City. Lloyd, author of Introduction to Holography for the Classroom, was responsible for incorporating the holography program into the summer school. Holography, the most sophisticated form of 3-0 imaging known to man and the only imagin~ techni9ue to earn a Nobel ·Prize, is m its .. p1oneer stage, n according to Lloyd. A hologram is a reco rd o f all the reflected light from an object bathed in laser light. Tbe laser light used in mak ing a hologram of an object creates a situation where all the views of an o bject are recorded, Lloyd ex plained . .. The hologram turns int o a window that ¥C~ u look through," Lloyd noted . For her work with th is imaging technique, Wenck built a ..vibration isolation table." Constructed from layers of brick. steel, carpeting, plywood and motorcycle tire tubes, this unique table is designed to · keep any vibrations from Lhe surroundings away from the table surface where the optics used for creating the hologram are placed.

Dr. David WiUbero, 40, a us· faculty inember in the English Depanment , also will be taking pan in the games.

I'm in better shape and I th ink I can do better," said Slade. . · T he UB runner said he has been training vigo rously fo r the games since the beginning of May. His training has co~~; sisted of distance work. run.ning eight to 10 miles four days a week , and s ~eed work, consisting of quan.er-mile sp n fi tS, during the rest of the week . Slade said he feels he's ready for the cOmpetition alfd has a definite strategy in ~ mind. "Last year I sat in the back of th e pack too long a nd) could n't catch up to tHe front runners because they were too far in the front. This year I will concentrate on being in the middle of the pack and within striking d istance of the leaders. I've lc;a rned from my experience last year.·· -s'aid Slade. Ho lding the games a t UB only increases his desire to win , he said. "I "want to do the best as I can for myself, my parents, and for UB, considering that we're compe ting at U Band I am a UB student." He said he would like to even tu ally get involved with collegiate spons afte r graduation and p lans on doing graduate work in exerciSe physiology. T or UB wrestler Shawn Kelly participating in the games is the direct progression of a project he started at age 15. " I started wrestling at Sweet Ho me High School when I was a freshm an. I can see the progress that 1\•e made and that's a really sa tisfying feeling," said Kelly. He said he is determ ined to do well in the games competi tion. "Anytime I go into so mething like this I go to win. You've got to go into it with a positiVe attitude." Kelly will .compete in the 180-pou nd Greco-Roman Open category although his natural weight class is 167 pounds. The higher weight class, he said , won't be a problem. · · · "At 180 pounds, I have to concentrate on. my qUick aggressiveness a nd techniques to compensate fo r the lack of strength, because I've been 180 pounds for only a little over a mont h now," he . said . "The competition is going tQ be big and that .II)eans I have ro be aggressive and not hold back . l'm going to tire them oiit so they WJestle my style." Hosting the games at UB is an added incentive; Kell y said. "Given the fact the games will be held at UB will give me that little ~o methingextra in myeffon . I reall y hal'e to do well."

L �August 1985 Summer No. 3 he Society of the Sigma Xi, a profe-ssional research society, chose a topic for its spring banqhet that you could really sink your teeth into - cannibalism. W. Arcos, a professor of anthropology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, spoke in U B's' Center for Tomorrow about his book, The Man- . T eating My th. · In the book, ·Arens dismisses the )llidespread notion that cannibalism is practiced routinely by some societies ~ little more than ethnocentric slander. Even surviv~ ~nni~alism, where pe?ple eat dead h ans tn order to avmd starvation, is rare, e said. ~ In all parts of the o rld , w.ost people will starve rathe r than t huma n flesh," he said ... The baseli ne of ulture is to not ·eat human ·llesh." Cannibalism is a neat label given to societies that other people feel lack a culture or are suO-human, he ·indicated. .Arens gave an exa mple set in the 16th century Caribbean involving Christopher Columbus and an indigenous people called the Caribs. Through a Spantsh mispronunciation of their name, we our word ..cannibal." • Columbus got his "info rm ation the Caribs were man-eaters neighboring group. the who told him so. Pfivately. Columbus dismissed idea as the notion of a silly group people. Arens said. But publicly, explorer played it up. Columbus had been loo king for riches which he didn ,t find . Arens said, but saw the possibility of gaining wealth by usi ng slaves for agriculture and mining. The idea that the people were man-eaters and that a man-eater was something less than human played well in to this plan. A royal decree was issued that said that the Caribs (o r Cannibals, as the Spanish called them) could be enslaved . Other natives, like the Arawaks. could be convened to Christiani ty. "The expected sc rambl e for the profi t to be made in human bondage followed immediately,•· Arens writes in his book. "Islands once thought to be inhabited by Arawak upon closer inves tigation turned out in reality to be overrun by hostil e cannibals. Slowly but surely greater areas were recognized as Carib a nd thei r enslavement legalized." ..There's no evidence that the people whose. name we use for man-eating had anyth ing to do with it," Arens said . hen there's the case of the Aztecs. Two Spanish .friars, who despised Aztec cuhure and were writing 50 years after the conquest by the SPaniards. gave · us the primary source for tal~s of Az.tec ca nn ibalism, he said. Nei th er friar witnessed ca nnibali m. nor were th ey th ere during the period when it was supposed to have happened. the anthropologist added. ''The basic assumption of-missio naries is that the culture they encounter is inferior to the culture they bring," Are ns said. .. What 's curious is that if two cultures meet, and one-is supposed to be canni bal and the other peace-loving, the cannibals disappear. "Where are the Caribs? Where are the Aztecs? Where is Spa_in? "Where is Christianity? Where is the Aztec religion?" . The notion of cannThalism is always some how intertwined with the established institutions. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the idea was intertwined with T - the est~btished religion, Christianity, he said. The established religion 'of the 20th cc:nt.ucy - science :-- is the institution that has resurrected the idea of eannibal·ism, he saict: Science should be objective, but its practioners have not been, A~ens charges. He gave the exa mple of t he Fore (pronounced for-ray) in the highlands of New Guinea. (It's most myste ri ous how canniba ls get farth er away in time and space, he noted). A fat a l d ise~ffered by the Fore was supposedly transrrutted by canni balism. D . Carleton Gajdusek, an M.D., ("not 'Father' nOw, but ' Doer or'"), received a :-·~~ .• J=-~ *\~T. -.. . ~ ! Nobel Pri ze for his research on · the disease. When Arens began researching his book, he was told by colleagues th at "cannibalism in the highlands of New Guinea is.a proven scientific fact because it was reported by an M.D .. so you ean betieve it," he said. Arens learned from the enormous amount of information availa ble on the· di sease, called kuru , that it was found to btc} used by a slow virus. Yet, after readg the reports of the Nobe l laureate, ~A rens could never find a conclusion that th e di sease iS lransmiu-ed thr ough Cannibalism. "·Yet in every sing!~ article, he said he worked with cannibalS,,. Arens said. Text from an article by Gajdusek said th at children participated in the butchery and handling of human fl~sh . It also described the unhygenic practices of th e people. Two photos were included with the article: the top shows a woman who died of kuru. The bottom shows people eating. . The text a~d photos are transmitting two ideas at once, Arens Contended; that one, kuru is transmitted througl]. cannibalism? and two, that kuru is transmitted by not washjng, then touching the eyes, n o~ and other parts of the body. He dashed off a letter to Gajduse k asking if the people in the bottom picture were eating the woman in the top. " It. seems a reasonable assumpti on," Arens said , showing the juxtapos1tion of t he photos-to his audience. "I -also concluded that he'd photographed cannibalism and had been there and seen it." B ut tha t's not th e case. Arens said he received a perso nal lette r from Gaj- . du sek saying th a t he was so rry if Arens o r other read ers were misled, but th e people in..the bottom photo were eating pork . Gajdusek wrote th at he had no photos of ca nni ba lism because it rare ly if ever took place, Arens said . . Arens added th at laboratory chimpanzees wh o had bee n fed infec ted flesh for years d id not co ntract kuru . They did . howeve r? co ntract it through direcl in noculation .. .. It see-ms the only way yo u cannot get kuru is by eating it," _Arens saiq. " If you sho uld co me across a slow virus. do not put yo ur finger in yo ur nose, your eyes. your ears Or in a n open cut, but immediately swallow it (th e vi rus)," he said to the a museme nt of his audience. Gajd.use k is an honest and nice m3.n who "actually admitted that he had the public," Arens said . " He it because he was a charlatan, he fi rmly believes these were cannibals. It's part a nd parcel way we're bro ug ht up. It works its way into o u.r vision of the world ." We tend to view people as cannibals " until th ey receive the blessings of the Western world," he said. " We should not be debating the issue of why orne people are cannibals, bu t why so many people, including anthropologists and scientists, think other people are goi ng to eat the m." Part of the reason is that o ur society and others are attracted 10 the notion of the society that breaks all the rules, he said . We have no meaningful existence without a society that breaks ou r basic rules. · Et hnocen t rism is another reason for the cannibal stories. "An an t hropologist is a representative of the civilized world who presents acco unts oft he uncivilized world." Arens said . .. That's hot a textbook definition, b'ut th a t's what happens." The anthropologist acts to reinforce the difference.. between civilized a!t$f savage behavior . · .. It ti.,. a perversion of our own mandate," !he anthropologist said . " Instead of being equal, we look on the rest of the wo rld as o ur cultural inferiors.,. This assertion has split anthropol ogists, but there has b6Cft some positive reaction. Some aptllropologists say th at ' ca nnibalism is overreperted and it is not ou r job to feed the myth, Arens said. • See Cannlball•m, page 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

SUNY will be able to reallocate funds among campuses as circumstances require, and campus presidents will have much greater flexibility to move funds within their campuses, said Dr. Clifton R. Wharton Jr., SUNY chancellor. "This will permit much f ster responses, as well as more efficient of funds," Wharton said. . Provost William Greiner noted that the legislation puts the governor, legisla·ture and Division of Budget (DOB) in the role of appropriating money, tb~ performing an annual review at budget time. It's more of a post-audit, rather than preaudit, system. The trustees, chancellor and campus presidents and siaffs ·will have more authority to execute the budget, he said. "There will be a lot less secondguessing durin~ the course of the year by external agenCies," Greiner noted. ·The legislation significantly reduces the number of approvals that have to be obtained from the DOB for financial and personnel matters, said William H. Baumer, assistant vice president and controller. "It expands purchasing flexibility and should make it possible to run the University mo.re effectively," Baumer noted. Under the new system, which is to go into effect in April, 1986, the DOB sets the initial allocations for the flScal year, - be explained. All subsequent modifications arc Staote.lUniversity actions, meaning they neeo approval from SUNY Central. For example, rnpst personnel actions will require only SUNY Central approval; not approval from the DOB or Civil Service, Baumer said. However, that doesn' lake away any rights from classified elnplllyees. "There are no changes whatever in the protections that people in the classified A · Flexibility · New legislation promises to give more -control over purchasing, personnel to campuses service enjoy," be emphasized . here will be more purchasing authority at the campus level, Baumer explamed. Under the new system, most items costing up to $20,000 can be purchased without approval from anyone outside the campus. This is an· increase from a limit of about $10,000. Each campus can now request bids, evaluate bids and write purchase orders itself. Exceptions to the $20,000 limit without outside approval are petty cash, printing and computers. The limit for petty cash has been raised to $250 from $100. The limit on printing has been raised to $5,000, up from $2,500. The longstanding limit of $25,000 for computers remains unchanged, he said. The oP.,ration of the departments remains unchanged, Baumer noted . Departments still will have to fill out the same forms and get the same approvals. However, the legislation dc;creases the number of approvals the business offices must ot>tain. "It will permit the business offices to be more responsive to the academic departments," be said. According to Baumer, the legislarion also: • Changes terms of SUNY trustees to 7 years from 10 years. It also changes the terms of UB Council members to 7 years from 9 years. • Restates the University's mission in more detail. • Prohibits charging tuition based on income level, as had been suggested. • Prohibits changing the amount charged for tuition before the State budget is adopted l;te legislature. • Sets the salary scales fort he diff~rent grades of professiOnal staff and faculty. subject to union con(ract negotiations. he new legislation is lauded by UB officials for the benefits it will bring T to this institution. "As the largest, most comprehensive campus w!thin the State UniverSity, UB will especially benefit from the management flexibility legislation;" said UB President Steven Sample. "The legislation represents a milestone in the history of State U.niversity and will help rec!ify the overregulation that has hampered the system since its inception." It doesn't make SUNY a public benefit corporation, but it's a g~od comproffi.lse between that and the present system. - PROVOST GREINER This overreJ!ulation was discussed in the report of the Independent .Commission on the F·u tureofthe State Universi ty that was released in January. "The legislation responds to the principal theme of the Commission's report and the new flexibility it creates will allow the system and its campuses to respond to the other major recommendaJions," Sample said, "particularly those which encouraged an improved role in gradua~e education, research and economic development. " _, The report had recom!Dended restructuring SUNY as a public benefit corporation, rather tharr allow it to remain a st3te agency, in an effort to rid it of overregulation. ..This legislation is not in any way the full agenda recommended by the commission, but it's a very imponant step in that direction," Greiner said. He noted that it is a step welcomed by the administrative officers at UB as well as at other SUNY campuses. ·The legislationis a good compromise between the more far-reaching recommendations of the commission and the recent system." he said. Chancellor Wharton called the new legislation ~·a very heartening response to problems that have seriously hampered SUNY for many years." When the issue of the public benefit corporation was being discussed, the question arose of whether giving the Univers it y more authority might be nothing more than trading a State bureaucracy fo r a SUNY Central bureaucracy. Before this new legislation was passed, the SUNY Board of Trustees vowed in a resolution to delegate power to the campuses. "... it is the intention of tbe Board of Trustees to decentralize.to the campuses the management nexibility proposed in (the legislative bill) to the maximum extent determined to be consistent with the Trustees· overall responsibility for stewardship·of the University," the resolution stated. Sample gave the chancellor high marks for providing strong leadership in working to implement the recommendations of the Independent Commission. "The governor and the Senate and Assembly leaders, as well as their staffs, also are 19 be congratulated for taking the steps necessary to make SUNY a more efficient and effective system," Sample said . "The Western New York delegation, in particular, was extremely helpful and supportive in the passage of this legisla0 tion." �July 1985 Summer No.2 ·UB won't go 'dry,' ~ays Lorenzetti By CHRIS VIDA!B will face some unique problems as a result of the ne"' State law that raises the drinking age from 19 to 21 effective Dec. I, according to Dr. Anthony F. Lorenzetti, dean of the Division of Student Affairs. Noting that "We certainly will comply to the letter of the law and m8.ke tvery effort to continue to encourage resl'onsible ust of alcohol," Lorenzetti swd· the University will face difficulties that are · different from those experienced by other segments of ociety because "there are so . many people 1 .a _c oncentraled area that · will be affected. . Because the n aw is going to apply to the majorit of dergraduate students, the University "is oing t<o.bave to work harder to provide . on-alcoholic activities, " without bannin drinking on campus altogemer, be said. "When we talk about 21, we're talking about the undergraduate pol'ulation, "be said. "We could ban alcohol m the dorms, · but that would be negative for the older students and the gradl!&te students." Alcoholliu been legal on the UB campuses for in ore than 20 yean, and in that time, Lorenzetti said, the University has not experie~ anr el'~raordinary p~ob­ lems assoctated With tts consumpllon. The new drinking age, howe>:er, could present the University with a different series of problems. "There is no law against drinlcing," Lorenzetti said. "The law is against serving and selling. (Students under age 21) can go to Canada and buy alcohol, which some of tbi:m probably will do." While the new law is expected to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities asSociated with young people who drink and drive, the measure also could U open .up different types of problems, becaust instead of drinking in what Lorenzetti called the "public domain,"students will be drinking privately. "I am concerned that the drinking problem will go more underground, and our own intervention devices won'\ work as well," he said. "The new law could be accentuating the negative aspects." now makes it even more diffocult to intervene at an appropriate time." He explained that because most substance abust referrals come from friends of students with drinking or drug problems, peers may be less inclined to voice their concerns regarding a problem drinker who is under age 21 . "In the zeal for dealing with the prob- . Iem, you create another," Lorenzetti said. "We simply don' have students here long enough to intervene appropriately." be u"niversity is t~gto prevent this problem by provtding special training for resident advisors (RAs) to alert T them to the potential problems the new · king a$" may present. The State also organiztng a program, "Goals and Objectives for Colleges and Universities for the Year 1985-86" through the New York State Division of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abust. While some colleges and universities probably will prohibit alcohol on their campuses after the change in the drinking age, UB has no plans at this time to become "dry," Lorenzetti said. "A lot of people use alcohol very responsibly," he said. "Some institutions are going to go dry and will have problems with that because for some students it is part of their cultural pattern." Changes will have to be made in University policies and programs that deal with alcohol consumption, including activities that range from departmental p~ies to outdoor concerts at Baird Pomt. "The Pub, for example, will have to re-<:valuate its policies," Lorenzetti said. lS "This ,also could be the demist of Springfest, Fallfest and other alcoholrelated activities." While the new law will require more careful proofmg at functions where alcohol is served, it will not, however,lead to banning alcohol on the campus at tbis point. "I can' see the University going dry," Lorenzetti said. "A dry campus would have to be a more gradual, well thoughtout change than can be made in a short time. The University also does not plan to segregate residence halls by age and make alcohollegal only for students age 21 and over. "There is no gray area here. We either go all the way or not at all," he noted. UB's Alcohol Review Board will meet this month to discuss how the new law will affect University policy regarding" alcohol on campus.

The day camp will be offered on both campuses from July 15 to August 2. During the same three-week period. a Computer Arts Daycamp, a program of the Center for the past two years, will also be offe•ed. Both day camps will meet Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m .-12:30 p.m. All equipment and supplies are mcluded in the S159 fee for 45 hours of instruction. The Media Arts Daycamp is composed of four workshops that will expose stu. dents to subjects that are noi taught in traditional schools, noted Dr. Gerald O'Grady, director of the Center for Media Study. He added that the workshops parallel the subjects offered each year when the Center hosts the New York State Summer School for the Media Arts, a program for talented 15- to 18-year-old students from throughout New York State. "We decided to offer students the opportunity to get a sense of these fields early on," O'Grady said. . . O'Grady noted thai the topics covered in the workshops are becoming important aspects of American life. "The combination of technology and T .Iffi®l_P)®Iflr®IT ___ ..,__. the arts happens more and more as the media become an increasingly im ponant part of our culture," he said . According 19 the US Information Agency, the number of film and !elevision productions first exceeded the number of print.ed materials in 1976. O'Grady points to this as a trend that is likely to continue, with the use of film and videotape increasing at a far greater pace than the use of print media. The workshops can provide the first steps in becoming "me<hate" in the sense that earlier Amer¥::-ans were literate, according to O'Grady. The students who are "mediate"' will be able to use new technologies to improve o ur culture, and to pursue a variety of careers in New York State which is itself the preeminent "Center for Media Study" in the woold . .

MARLETT Art Director REBECCA BERNSTEIN ~~~~fi"i:~~~ Editor �July 1985 Summer No.2 Grubler Brooklyn student seeks board seat in Town of"Amherst . D By JILL-MARIE ANOIA · ave Grubler, a UB junior majoring in political science, jokes about hanging a huge sign which reads "Campaign Headquarters" on h.is dorm room door in Porter Quad in the fall. W.hether he's serious about the sign or not, Grubler•s room is sure to become the hub of activ.ity during his campaign to become Amherst town councilman. Grubler, SA vice president, will be runnin~ on the Democratic and Liberal tickets m the Amherst town elections this November. Between now antt then he plans to show res' .ents and student voters that "a stude on the (Amherst Town) Board will bring ew ideas and a lot of innovation."' For November's election, ubler will join f<>rces with D~mocrats Frank Wroczynski and Mary Dimock to compete for the seats held by Republican incumbents William Kindel, Lynn Millane and Harold Collier. "In addition to his duties as SA. vice president, Grubler currently serves as chair of the Speaker's Bureau, recreational coordinator for Black Mountain College and president of the Political Science Club. Despite these commitments, he maintains that he has the iime and desire to serve on the board."111 have more time for community work than those with full-time jobs," Grubler said. Grubler cites his political science background as one reason for wanting to become more . involved with serving the Amherst community. "I've taken a lot of courses that will · help me out," he said. Grubler is originally from Brooklyn but considers himself qualified to handle the duties of Amherst councilman. " I've lived here for two years and my work with SA has brought me an aware· ness," Grubler explained. "Politics all over are basically the same." As last year's SA director of student affairs, Grubler was responsible for creating the "We Care" bus program which provides free bus transportation on week~ ends for students traveling to and from popular bars on Hertel and Elmwood avenues. Re was also involved with the final stages of installing a bus shelter on Bailey Avenue across from the Boulevard Mall. Grubler describes himself as "one of the main student leaders on campus"and is ready to use his enthusiasm to "bring life into the community." He decided to run for councilman at the suggestion of forrner SA president Jane McAlevey. After contacting the campus chapter of College Young Democrats of America, he was· able to get an interview with the Democratic party of Amherst. " I had all sons of statistics and plans to present fo them," Grubler recalled ... 1 think sometimes I come off as too much o( an intellectual for the people in this town.. " Grubler's presentation has resulted in endorsements by the Democratic and Liberal parties. He plans to gather the signatures necessary for securing the Independent slot as well. " For the Independent nomination I have to do a lot of legwork to get signa· tures but many students are registered as Independent so I want to do that," Grubler said . . a candidate, Grubler intends to the perspective of the UmA srepresent versity and· students. "The University is good for Amherst both eultuully· -.od· economically," Dare Grubler Grubler explained. "We should have some say in area politics." Grubler cited the relationship between the University and the Getzville Fire Department as an example of working together toward mutual benefit. "The Getzville Fire Department has agreed to protect the Amherst Campus ... A result of that has been a grant which allowed them to buy a new ladder something they never wou ld ha ve received if it weren't for the University," Grubler related. . Grubler makes it clear that his candidacy stems from the desire to promote this type of"good neighbor" relationship. "Students need to let residents know that we're a force irl the community but we're not trying to take over the town," he said. He added that students are a valuable resource that Amherst should seek to retain. " Many people assume "that students come and leave thC area in five years," Grubler noted . "We're not necessarily leaving - Amherst has some things people will stay for." He emphasized this point by adding that Amherst can wdtk successfull y to achieve the same student retention rate experienced by the Boston community. There, 50 per cent of students not originally from the area decide to settle in or near Boston after graduation. Grubler .plans to work for votes within the University and in the community. He is confident in his abilities to sway both sets of voters and maintains that he has a very good chance for being elected in November. · Grubler is confidenc. that his view· points and style will help him gain community support . "My views are moderate," Grubler said. "I don't want to change everything - just be a part of the community." He plans to do an extensive amount of telephone and d oo r-t<Hloor campaign· in g. He will not approach residents as the vice president of t he Student Association who is also running for co uncilman - ''I will go to them as Dave Grubler, candidate." · To rally student support, Grubler p)ans to bold many of the events of the campaign on campus, starting with a push to get all eligible students registered to vote. The registration dri ve will be the first stage in Grubler:'s work to get students intereSted in the election. -·with polling places on campus, students won 't have a reason not to vote," he observed; s the campaign progresses, Grubler will encourage candidates to speak on campus. He also announced plans for "come-and-vote events" but did not dis close the details. Grubler will also recruit campaign A wo.rkers on campus. The more workers th etter, as far as be's concerned . e rkers are the most important asset of a campaign," Grubler said . "They can make or break the election for· me." Grubler said he has limited funds to cover Campaign costs. He expects that having a large number of stud ent helpers will minimize expenses but intends to hold a number of fund-raisers . "I 'm hoping fp r a lot of free publicity sinCe I am a stutlent," he added. One issue Grub ler plans to explore in his campaign is the need for a flood plan in Amherst. With or without federal aid, · a plan must be developed, according to Grubler. • "Something has to be done soon, " he said. "We (Amherst) have to work to solve our own problems'." Grubler indicated that he would seek the help of University resoucces to devise and implement such a plan. He pointed out that although the Amherst campus is in the middle of the flood plain area, it has not experienced any flooding. · "U B is a huge untapped resource that can be used to help Amherst," Grubler noted. Grubler will also address taxes in his campaign. He will tell voters of the nee~ for a councilman who is willing to work with other state.officials in opposition to President Reagan's new tax plan. The plan calls for the elimination of deductions for state and local taxes on the federal tax ·return. · "This area will be hard hit if Reagan's proposal is approved," Gruble~ said . Grubler saad he. is also in favor of the Metro Rail extension into Anlherst. He supports the idea but only on the condition that construction costs be paid by federal transport.etion aid and not by Amherst. tax revenue. . Grubler has many ideas for the fu tun: development of Amherst. He envisio ns the town developing into a technology center~ with UB as its core. "Amherst has great potential and hasn' reached its peak of development," he said. Moderate cost student housing is another item on Grubler's agenda. This would provide another outlet for students and residents to work together, he noted . Grubler is aware of the overwhelming number of Republican politicians that bold 6ffice in Amherst. During the campaign and especially if elected he promIses to ... be a voice to cjuestion things."' 0 ,Dorm voters could lose privilege he A.mherst voting population may be smaller than Town Board candidate Dave Grubler is counting on if a recent ruling by the US Second Circuit Court · of Appeals affects Erie County. If so, the ruling could even affect Grubler's power to vote in his own election. The court ruled that a provision of the election law that allows counties to require extraordinary proofs'Of residency for "transients" is constitutional, thus overturnmg a ruling of a lower court. However, the rufing also held that discrimination in the practice of voter registration is taking place on the county level. Confused? The Board of Elections and the Studeru Association of the State University (SASU) are both deciding how to interpret the decision and what it means fort he future for students who wish to vote in their college towns. . According to an official at the Board of Elections, the ruling may affect new students and those who have moved since registering last year. According to SASU President Jane r;icAievey, the ruling should not affect students in Erie County or any oth_ereounty where students had secured the right to vote prior to the ruling. • ••The assumption is that counties willing to settle out of court prior to having to (settle by court order) are less likely to go back and change their stance," McAievey said. McAlevey is currently working to have the case reheard or clarified . "If a student lives in an area 30 days and pays sales taxes be or she should be able to vote," she said. · McAlevey maintains that countieS cannot simply return to the policy of rejecting all voter registration applicati ons from students. "They can 't say that just because you're a .student you can' vote," she said. "The Board of Electaons must call and investigate each person before they reject their application." T . ccording to Vicki Scott, assistant deputy commissioner of the Erie County Board of Elections, the ruling has th e potential to affect any student who has moved since registering to vote last year or wl)o is new to the area, if a "challenge" is made. This could affect the eligibility of Grubler who will move into a new dorm room this fall. "A challenge comes from ar, outside sou rce like a registered voter or a politiCal constituency,., Scott explained ~ . If a challenge were made, the Board of Elections would have to check each application before approval. "Students may register in the fall ifthey can prove that they have legal residence in the county, "Scott said. The three main method~ of proof that we us~-:tre that it is their legal mailing address, they file their income tax from that address and get the return there, and it is the address on their driver's licenS(." She noted that last ·year all voter registration applications were approved without question but that next fall there could be a challenge from "the citizens in Amherst. .. Scott also explained that Grubler remains eligible to run even if his voter registration applicatio"n is rejec~~d . Howeve r, if elected, he must become a registered voter ;_ before taking the office. . ~ Grubler said he would be"verydisapp_ointed ~' if a challenge were pursued in the fall. The agreement that SA worked out wath· Erie County last year should also allow students to register this fall, he noted. · "If they reject any appliCations we1ltake them to court," Grubler said. He noted. that the voting issue will add to the importance of his candidacy. :_If I win this thin' i! will show that stu~ents should be able t_o vote in their college towns, .. he saad.

Excellence Six receive Chancellor's Awards / B is certainly a large school, but that fact doesn't necessarily make it a good school. It's the people who work here that make UB one ot the finest schools in New York State. .Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. has recognized six individuals from UB for excellence in the performance of their duties·. These individuals are among 55 people Statewide who have received the 1985 Chancellor's Award. Cited for excellence in teaching are Dr. James Brady, associate professor of Philosophy, Dr. Michael Frisch, chair of American Studies and professor of History, and Dr. Joseph C. Mollendorf, professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Honored for excellence in librarianship -are Judith Hopkins technical services research and analysis officer, and Dr. William McPheron, humanities bibliographer. Awarded for excellence in professional service is June Licence, program coordinator of American Studies . . U Teaching The primary criterIOn for the Chancellor·s Awarils for Excellence in Teaching is demonstrated s!UII in teaching, although serious consideration is aJso given to sound scholarship and service to the University. Nominations were gener· ated by st udents, faculty and administrato,n nd backed by a support file created by a. selection committee on campus. All nominations were reviewed by President Sample and forwarded to a Chancellor's Advisory committee. In his letter of suppo rt for all the teaching award nominees, Sample noted, .. the scree ning commit tee has applied rigorous standards in teaching excellence in selecting ou~ nominees for this prestigious . award. Dr. Joseph Mollendorf The idea to nominate Dr. Joseph Mollendorffor the teaching award came from the students working on an ultralight plane project under hi s supervi sio n. Mollend orf has guided the work on the project si nce April of 1983 when a group of engineering student s approached him with the idea. Mollendorfhas also recveived positive evaluations from the-students in his more traditional classes. ··t teach a heat transfer class that goes very well;· Mollendorf commented . .. 1 ge t so me very favorable comments · from th e students in that class."" tion he worked. at Western Electric Research Center for three years. . "I worked at Bell and Western Electric by plan. I wanted to learn how to be an engineer myself so I could talk from . experience in the classroom," Mollendorf said. Mollendorf's experience in industry has allowed him to tell students how the theories and formulas taught in th e classroom are applied in the workpl acet " I like to teach practical things - show students what elements are used and how, " he added. Dr. James Brady The Philosophy Department has deve loped_i ts own extensive evaluation process which was used to generate nominees for the Chancellor·s .award. Dr. Jam es Brady o utlined an en ti re process of student and administrative evaluation of his work in the classroom as the roots of his no mination.

'Sing-In' to feature Bach Mass I Experienced choral singers who wish to stfetch their vasal chords during the summer doldrums are invited to a "sing -in" of the J.S. Bach masterwork. the Mass tn B Mtnor, at 8 p.m. . Thursday. July 1B. in (the atr-condilioned) Slee Concert Hall. Th~ sing-in. says organtzer Dr. Harne! Simons. associate professor of Music, 1s modeled on successful "sing-ins" held in many cities. The New York (City) Choral Society. for example. annually invites choral music devotees to read through many of the great choral works. AI the University ol Rochester. there a're summer-long sing -ins ol works by composers as different from one another as Brahms and Roy Harris.. The sing -in, Simoo s explains. brings together choral singers who briefly rehearse and read through a masterwork , all in one ev~ning . To add to the enjoyment, Simons t}as engaged four well -known vocal soloists and an orchestra. As a resull. the Mass in 8 Minor, "probably lhe most difficull of the major choral works," will be perlormed in its entirety. ' . Dr. Joseph Wincenc. well -known Buffalo area conductor. has assembled the volunle<;r community orchestra of experienced players, drawn for the most part from the UB Philharmonia, the Amherst Symphony and the Orc hard-· Park Symphony.

Cryns, Ph.D., bas been:al'poinled di~ector; qf the Muludtsctphnary Center for · lhe Study of Aging at the State University at Buffalo. · The center was re<:enlly put under the aegis of the School of Social Work, with hopes that it would contribute to the school's visibility and research potential. Cryns, a professor in the school, who previously served as co.<Jirector of the Western New York Geriatric Education Center at UB, seeks to tum the center into . a leading res~arch institute specializing in the behavioral management of frail and other elders at risk. Since May I Cryns reported that the center has applied for six grants totaling almost $338,000. According to Cryns and Fredrick Seidl, Ph.D., dean of the School of Social Work, the cenler will be evaluated in one year to determine if it has met its proje<:ted short-term goals and if it should continue as a unit of the University. Negotiations are now underway to transfer irn.plementation of the center•s popular CARERS Program to the Western New York Human Services Consortium. The program offers public workshops that aid families in caring for the elderly. If the transfer is completed, however, the center would continue to evaluate the program, which has been used as a model nationwide for heahh care of the A elderly. Gary C. Brice, M.S.W., and Carol A. Nowak, Ph. D., co.<Jirectors of CA"RERS, will retain their positions at the center, both continuing to serve as associate directors. The center's five-year-old Senior Volunteers in the Schools Program, another successful venture directed by Doris B. Hammond, Ph.D. , is now based in the Division of Social Sciences at D'Youville College. Cryns notes that he would like the center to maintain a good mix of research and community service programs, but that the latter would have to be valuable programs which yield precise measures of 1m pact. Because of his association with the Geriatric Edu.cation Center, Cryns anticipates that the two cente rs will be able to work su<XlCSSfully to complement each other S educational and research missions. Ccyns, a member of the UB faculty since 1969, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Nymegen, the Netherlands. He is ·a consulting psychologist who has published extensively in the field of gempsychology with particular emphasis on geriatric health care and social needs assessment. 0 9 Construction of stadium to finish one week ahead of schedule onstructi on of the new track and field stadium is expected to be finished by the end of next week, about one week ahead of !he original targeted completion date of July 26. According to Harbans Grover, director of the Office of Architectural Services at UB, construction of ihe $2. I million stadium is "going very well" and is expected to be wrapped up by July 17 or 18. That will allow the · university adequate time to complete preparations for the Empire State Games, which will be held in Western New York from Aug. 7to I I. Track and field events in the Open and Scholastic divisions will be held in the new facility. Spectator seating for 4,000, constructed in preformed scetions of steel beams with a concrete base and aluminum benches on the south side of the stadium, is about 95 per cent completed, he said, and the \)ase for the facility's artificial turf has been laid out. Remaining work includes applying the final coating of the artificial surface and completing the fences and walkways that will surround the sta'dium. · · The stadium will use -a relatively new synthetic field surface called Omniturf, a sand-filled polypropylene fiber system that . is ~d to provide beuer dr~age C than other artificial turfs and reduce the risk of injury with its cushioning effect. Developed by OmoiSport International of St. Catharines, Ontario,.and Wichita, Kansas, the ~urface requires only periodic brushing for maintenance. The system has been used for several years on soccer fields and tennis co.urts around the world , · but UB's stadium marks only the second installation of the system in this country. In addition to the Omniturf field, the stadium will feature a 400-meter, eightlane "Royal l\thletic. T rack Surface," a combination of rubber and polyethylene dc:Ydpped by Royal Industries Inc., and will include a !()().meter straightaway and a removable insert for the steeplechase water hazard. Areas for track and field jumping and tbrowin~ events will be located outside the stlldium. Site ,l:ontractors of Orchard Park completed $300,000 in site work earlier this year, and, according to Grover, good weat.ber has allowed Sevens'on Contractors of Niagara FaUsto keep construction ahead of, schedule. The current contract includes an irrigation system, electrical system, landscaping and a fence around · the site. Additional landscaping will be completed between the end of the Empire State Games and Dec. 15, the expiration date of~ !"'nlfact. r.>- �~19 July 11185 Summer No. 2 S_hakespeare in Par~ gets historical slant By ANN WHITCHER ayor James Griffin was on band to salute tbe participants as Saul Elkin, founder and artistic director, foodly surveyed the crowd quickly gat he~ on · the hill. The' occasion was opening night for the IG-year-old Shakespeare in Delaware Pl!Ik Festival, proudly sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dana: since The Winter's Tak first graced a tiny park stage in 1976. This year's festival bas a slightly inore traditional slant as Elkin is em phasizing. many of the playing traditions of Elizahc.. than En~and. He bas also engaged two British duectors, both of whom have had a great deal of experience in staging Shakespeare s plays in England. By way of stressing these 16th-<:enlwy playing t~aditions in, Romep and Ju/~t. the openmg prnduct10n, dl ector Evan Parry1Jas asked his players t hat witb the audience before tbe play be · s. The idea is thatthe UB company is toun tbeprovin'ces out of New York, as did Lord Chamberlain-'s Players out of London in the summers before tbe Globe Theatre was built in 1599. From about 1594 onward, Shakespeare was an importan t member oftbe Lord Chamberlain's Company of ·players, later called tbe · King's Men. Parry says the Elizabethan stage was ~ essentially three-dimensional, akin to a 0 pageant or a procession. The modem ~ stage, on the other band, is twodimensional, more like a picture. Also, actors spoke their lines more d irectly to the aud1ence than they do in the present era. · "The Elizabethan stage fo rced the actors to face out on three sides. As a result, they couldn' always face each other when speaking to each other," he M explains. "We're having the characters speak directly to the audience whenever possi- ble. Normally. the approach to a soliloqux)s that the character simply talks out loud , and the audience is privy to that character ... Of cowrse, the Elizabethan theatre was far more declamatory than is the modem theatre. Emphasizes Parry, "The intent is to do the play realistically with no histrionics, in a way that the play is still very accessible to the modern audience. That's extremely important to me. Were we to merely put a museum piece on stage, I think the play would be less approach· able." Outstanding in the UB production of Romeo and Juliet are the Italian Renais· sance costumes designed by Donna Massimo. She has done extensive period research, having looked carefully at reproductions of works by Carpaccio, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci. She also traveled to the Metropolitan -Museum of Art in New York City to view the museum's Italian Renaissance holdings. A recorded score by Composer/ Musical Director Ray Leslee is essentially modern, though it strongly evokes the music of the Renaissance. Stage Designer Gvozden M. Kopani bas fashioned a stage that recallnhe Elizabethan tht!lltre. we/fth Night, the touring production in this year's festival, is being directed by Percy Steven, U B visiting lec- T turer in theatre and pri'n cipallecturer at Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in Sid cup, Kent. In order to bring the touring production to a · wider audience, festival planners hav.c included four Delaware Park performances on this year's touring schedule. Twelfth · Night, an engaging, slightly bittersweet work, is the last of Shakespeare's great comedies. Says Steven: "In the ·play, the very serious and the ludicrous occur simultaneously." Present in the play, he adds, is a sense of the imper·manence of love and the double~gcd quality of human existence. In fact, Steven comments, Twelfth Night CoD· tams ~be-developm;; ~;..m- some-of tbe Tweltth Night, abo•e, Is the touring production In this year's season of Shakespeare In lire Parle: great tragic themes in Shakespeare's later work. "In a sense, Twelfth Night is a bridge from the comedies to the tragedies." Set in the ethereal lll yria . where festi- val, license and _escape prevail, Tw•lfth Night presen ts an intricate series of illusions, often magically tied . to the deft comic touch es of characters like Viola and Feste I he clown. Viola, disguised as a man named Cesario, falls in lOve with Orsino, the Duke of lllytia. He. in turn. has dispatched Cesario to make romantic overtures on his behalf to Olivia, a rich countess in mourning for her lost brother. Viola, too. mourns her lost twin brother, Sebastian, who, in fact, has survived a shipwreck, and will later be mis- taken for Cesari o. Olivia falls in love with Cesario (Viola), and will eventually marry Sebastian thinking he is Cesario! Steven's production stresses the world of 18-a:ntury Italian commedia deii'Arte. the improvisatory thealre I hat nourished throughout Europe from the 16th to th e 18th centuries. Steven has chosen an 18th-<:entu ry brand of the commedia because of the realism and occasional ruthlessness of that era. 1 There is a direct lin e between Twe/flh Night and th e trad ition of commedia deii'Arte, says Steven. "We know that Shakespeare saw the commedia." The touring commedia played before diverse audiences, with no set to speak of. rely- ing instead on the use of gesture to shape the space and costumes to characterize a director at Britain's Guildhall School of Mu~ic & Drama and a former director with Britain's famed Royal Shakespeare Company. As an actor. Clough appeared with the RSC in II productions in Stratford. Newcastle and London. and also with ·several other Briti s h theatre companies. The Tempest represents Clou~h's first direction of a play in the qpen atr. He is .. quite excited .. by the opportunit y. commenting: "the audience in Buffalo is more lik e the audience Shakespeare would ha ve been used to , than we arc used 10 in the (modern day) 1heatre. It has to be said that were doing the play in circumstances so much more like th e con- texl Shakespeare intended his plays to be performed in." nre Tempes1 is Shakespeare's most finely crafted play. and i1s many themes of reconciliation . revenge, and purification. to name only three. often elicit awe from audience. actors and direclOrs alike. Yet it must be remembered , says Clough. that The Tempes1 is also ··a very good adventure story. a very good yarn." . loaded with opportunities for dramat ic connict. Because Th e Tempes1 was only in the early rehearsal stages at the time of this writing. it remains to be seen what themes will predominate in Clough's production. Perhaps no one theme can hold firm dramatic sway. As Mark Van Doren once wrote: "The trouble is that the meanings arc not self-evident. One interpretation of The Tempest does not agree with another. And there is a deeper trouble in · the truth lhat any in~crpretation, even the wi ldest. is more or less plausible ... Any set of symbols. moved close to the play. lights up as in an clecaric field ." Iough says his production will acknowledge the play's factual underpin· ning. A series of pamphlets published in 1610 discussed the seemingly miraculous survival of a shipwrecked party which had been on ils way to Virginia. At the · same time, Clough's production will pay tribute to the play's many magical overtones and modern resonances, though it will nonetheless remain firmly situated in one time and place. The play is a complex work "so full of things to explore," says Clough. "That is the test of a good play, that there is always something new to discover. It is not uncommon for major actors to play Prospera four or five times in their careers ... Shakespeare in Delaware !'ark con· cludts Aug. II.

The Sweet l'lap of Daughterhood. Many women, upon recognizing the patterns that lead to violence. will resign themselves to the inevitability of the beating and may hasten its occurrence so t~at the battering cycle can re ach 1ts conclusion.. "Tension building" will be followed by the second stage, caJJed an "acute battering incident" by Child Abuse and Domes, tic Violence. This will be followed by a ..calm, loving respite;... which some experts feel may contribute to a battered wife's tolerance of her abuse. During the · literal lull between storms, it is the wife who has control Qf the situation, and the husband who is abject and apologetic. This third stage continues until the "ten· sion building" again begins, aCCO[!ling to the publication, and "characte · ically, the beatings increase in severity d . freq uency." Probably the most frequently ask question is why _d o these women stay in an abusiVe marn'age? · ·/ "There are so many factors that go into keeping her there," Bixby said. "A lot of women don\ realize they are being abused. They think it is pan of a relationship." ..... ··As they begin to dale, these girls become victims of physical violence from their boy· friends, perhaps seeing such behavior as inevitable, or even as an indication of · love.·· - Battered Women and their Fami· lies: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs. Unfonunately, ···~· many victims of abuse tend to feel isolated, a syndrome that feeds upon itself and is ·complicated by women's belief that no one can help them. .. It is important for women to know that this happens to other women," Bixby said. "The theory that the woman wants to be abused, that's malarky. n There_also is a tendency toward a "learned helplessness, n a lowered selfesteem. and an inability or unwillingness of police, clergy and other social agencies to properly address the situatio n, she said. "Now, the first response to this story, which I myself think of, will be 'why didn't you seek help?'/ did. Early in our marriage I wentlo a clergyman, who aller a few visits, told me /hal my husband meant no real harm, that he was just confused and felt insecure. I was encouraged to be more tolerant and understanding. Mosl important, I was told to forgive him the beating jus/ as Chris/ had forgiven me /rom lhe Cross. I did· that, too ... I did go to two ... doctors. One asked me what/ had done to provoke my husband. The other asked if we had made up yel. I called the police one lime. They not only did not respond 10 the call, they called several hours later to ask tf things had 'sellled down.' I could have been dead by /hen!" - Ballered Women, Donna Moore. editor. According to Bixby, one of the reasons police agencies may be reluctant to respond to a domestic call is the personal danger it preseQts to the officer. She noted that more police officers are killed while responding to domestic calls than in any other line of duty. Police are instructed to play the role of the mediator when answering a domestic call, to S!llOOth over anger, and restore a semblance of tran9uility. In one case, documented in the collection, police told a husband to take a walk around the block to cool off. When he returned, he murjlered his wife. Pressing assault charges also is disco uraged, in pan, because of low prosecu tion and conviction rates. Aooording to Diffu~ncu in · R~lativ~ Resourus, Familial Power and Spouse Abus~ by William J. Hauser, "Judges are reluctant to impose penalties for usau!~ ~~ . ~~- bands because if incarcerated, there is little or no financial compensation for the wife." Society in general, Bixby said, does not know how to respond 'IPpropriately to the plil)ht of battered women. The problems woth police providing the same protection from an abusive husband that would be provided in an assault by a stranger are compounded by a legal system that may unjustly penalize a woman who has left her home for her own safety, as well as inadequate or inappropriate psychological services. She said that she recommends added counseling instruction.Jor police, clergy, social workers and others who deal with battered women. ••••• "... The traditional female vocatiol')al role of homemaker gives women little control over their own lives. Instead, their welfare and succeSs depend on marrying a successful ma~ ... The more traditionally oriented women who believe strongly in marriage and homemaking have a much IT:ltder time escaping from a battering relationship. Instead of believing themselves capable of finding a good life outside an abusive marriage, /hey struggle endlessly to make the marriage work." - The Hitting Hab~ : Anger Control for Battering Couples. ..... by Jeanne P. Dreschner. Reactions to her literary collection, Bixby said, have been few. She admits sbe had expected "some type of violence" in response to the subject she chose, but so far has received no negative feedback. "One woman came up to me who was very enthusiastic about tt . I see some men go by, and they look like they'r~ studying (the collection), but they never say anything. ..Then again, it's not the kind of thing people adm it to." · . ..... "Marital violence may be kept secret from the neighbors. bur chances are the children know. One mother grimly admits /hal her six-year-old tried to overrule her arrempls to put him to bed by threatening to 'call Daddy lo hit you.· " - Judith Gin- · gold in Ms. magazi~;~ •• Children also suffer in an abusive marriage. If they are not abused along with t hei r mother, they may be a bused by their mother, as an ou tlet for her hurt, anger and frustration . Even children who are not themselves battered are e motionally scarred by the violence of their parents. According to &11ered Women and cheir Families: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs, as cliitdren mature into teenagers, ihey have a tendency to iden tify with one of their parents. • Adolescents frequently will take sides during violent arguments, those siding with the father often behaving violently toward the mother. " 1 As they mature into adulthood, they also have a tendency to follow the abuse patterns of their parents. ..... " I wem to th~rmy chap/am one time. hie told me to try lo work it out.

She advises women who see themselves in her exhibit to ... talk to someone abou t the situat ion. Get some other people's perspectives on the situation. Don' feel isolated.

From 8 a.m. until wrap-up at 5:15p.m., approximately two dozen memberS of the Ripley's crew taped and re-taped a two and one-half minute segmen:) on the accomplishments of world renowned author JamesJoy.ce which will air on the series next fall .

"Every week they do a segment on how a great man or woman overcame great physical difficulties in pursu ·· of their life's work," explained Robert rtholf, curator of the Poetry I Rare oks collection. The segment, narrated by Osmon focuses on Joy.ce's abilitr. ,9Dd desire to write, despite declining VlSlon as a testament to the power of human motivation.

Joyce wal; able to overcome the problems ofpooreycsigbt ~oduced ·writ­ ings whach include Uly<s~s. a novel which the segment 'cites as "a masterpiece of world Uterature." During her discussion, Osmond compares the "tight, scribbled notes" of Ulyssu to t~ ·!'ages of the notebooks Joyce ftlled while composing his later novel Finnqtm :r Wab where only a few words fill each page. This provides visual testament to the decline of the author's ability to see the page before llim. Jed Rasul, head of the research department for the Ripley's series, decided that Joyce would he a good subject for the show and<:ontacted his friend Bertholf about using the UB Joyce collection as the backdrop. · "JedCalled me in January and we dis. cussed his idea, then a scout came to look and previe the coUcction in March," L Bertholf explained. he collection, considered one of the most distinguished in any library, contains a range of items including portraits, personal items such as his eye. glasses, and an array of notes and manuscripts. . In the interests o( pr=rvation, the majority of the Joyce materials are not left out for public display. Items are available for viewing upon request. "Anyone with a legitimate purpose established in advance can see the manuscripts," Bertholf said . The Joyce collection is the product of acquisitions made by the University. In 1948, the initial portion of the c,ollection was ~urchased from the Librairie La Hune m Paris. This icquisition brought portraits of Joyce and his family, T notebooks, manuscripts 'and other items of memorabilia to UB. The purchase was financed by the donation made by Margaretta Wickser in memory of her husband, Philip J. Wiclcser. The second installment came in 1959 through the purchase of Joyce materials from Sylvia Beach, the publisher of the first edition of Ulysses. This purchase was made possible by a gift from Constance and Walter Stafford. The third installment was given in 1951 and 1959 by B. W. Huebsch. publisher · and associat.e of Joyce. The final acquisition was made possible after the death of Sylvia Beach in l96i.

As he walked past Hayes Hall, the residents of the county almshouse (poorhouse) scrambled for the cigarette butt he discarded. On June 19, 1985, McGrath arrived at UB and found himself in the midst of a campus sprung up out of the fields of Amherst. After wandering around for 30 minutes, he was able to fi~d the Center for Tomorrow where he addressed the Class of 1935 on the oc:casion of their 50-year reunion. "You and I ·owe a great deal to this University," said McGrath, who had served as assistant to Chancellor Samuel P. Capen and dean of administration. The 37 members of the graduating class of 1935 were joined by approximately· 40 .graduates from preceding . years. Events of the day included the takJng of class portraits, a luncheon. bus tours of both campuses and several spealcers. £dward W. Braunlich, 1935 graduate and Unitarian chaplain, gave the invocation. He noted that it was a dar "for sharing coinpanio~ship and aljecuon ." The class was welcomed by Benard A. Verrico, president of the General Alumni Board; and Donald Lutz, vice presi~ent of the Student Alumni Association. Dr. Judith Albino, associ11te lfi'O oSI; - ' alsQ addressed the class, acting as stand- W in for President Steven Sample who was in Colorado. She explained that Sample was attending a conference on the importance of the liberal arts in undergraduate education and asked for further contribution on the su bject. "You can share yo ur wisdom . .. what you valued in your education," Albino said . "Tell us what we should he doing that has perhaps dropped by the wayside." Albino also presented the class with a diploma in commemoration ofthe class•s 50th reunion and continued support as alumni. Charles M. Fogel, chairman of the event, presented Albino with a check for $6,500 on behalf of the class. Fogel, a retired UB professor now active in the Emeritus Center, then spoke of many memories of his days as an undergrad. Tuition was $187.50 · per semester. One of the most popular places on campus was the "mixed lounge." "Students today don' know what that means - everything is mixed," he quipped. ogel also revealed a 50-year-<>ld secret. The radi<H:ontrolled car that he and classmates entered in the "Moving Up Day Parade" was actually an elaborate hoax. Fogel pretended to manipulate a series of levers in the car behind the "radio"? car? but it was actually being directed by a classmate in the driver's seat, sunk down below eye level.

" We've (the University) lost· a few things and gained a few but we've only had gond years," he said . University archivist Shonnie Finnegan was able to locate films made by Class of '35 graduate Walter Chappelle, Jr. The black and white footage provided a look at the University of Buffalo from land and air.

"Unfortunately, once a beatmg has occurred. there probably wilt be further battering. Apparently the first mc1dent has the effect of 'breaking the ice.'

Shattered Lives by Kathleen H. Hotelier. Circumstances that lead to wife battering are complex. AcCI)rding to Child Abuse and Domestic ViOlence, edited by Jeanne E. Matusinka, there are ident ifi~ able traits that lead to violence. The pre-battering stage "begins when the couple meets and can last for a few days or several years. During this period some men are violent to inanimate objects. Wh~ they get angry they may • throw or breh lamps, chairs. dishes or tables. In some cases, a man may evl!n ~ake out his hostility on family pets. Although a husba nd may be verbally abusive to his wife, this 'emotional battering' is usually not as intensive or malicious as in later stages." Once ttie battering cycle has begun, it tends to follow a distinct three-stage paltem. · The first stage, tension building, may.be prompted by anything from an accused mfidelity to dissatisfaction with a meal. ''0/fictal tolerance of wtfe beattng has 1ts roots in tradWon and law. Legal historians trace the expression 'rule of thumb' to the ancient right of the husband to chastise his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb, and the hoary notion that a wife ts the property of her husband still entrenched in many areas of law affecting the rights of married women." is - Judith Gingold.

According to Bixby, the severity of the problems of violence against women first came to .her attention in 1980 during a stint as a VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) worker. A recent .graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia with a degree in sociology and English, she found employment with a wome·n 's crisis hotline in Dunkirk. "I became aware of how prevalent the problem is," said'Bixby. "Statistics show that one out of every three to five women are banered, and the effects are farreaching. This problem should be mo.re openly discussed and people made aware of the problem." After a changing economic climate made employment in the field of sociology look less than permanent, 'she enrolled in the School of Information ·and Li!>rary Studi~s (S ILS).

"It's a very popular topic these days among psychologists, sociologists and social workers," Bix by said . " I guess I just felt it was a tjmely topic." , She added that she felt an ex hibit concerning violence against women was a pertinent Subject. " I felt (my collection) was going to be very relevant to most of those people who walk through the doors," Bixby said. "Everyone is involved in some type of relationship with another person." Abuse of spouses is not limited by gender, acco rding to Bixby. Men also are abused by their wives, she said , and for them the stigma is even greater. " I don' want to neglect that there are hus bands who are abused. One ou t of 14 ' men are emotionaJiy or ph ysically battered, and for men , it is even harder to seek help," s he said .

Six of 13 members of the task force eligible to vote approved · the arming recommendation, four cast negative votes, two abstained, and one did not vote. Before making a· decision on whether to arm Public Safety officers, UB President Steven B. Sample emphasized that he wants to get opinions from all \ groups in the campus community. While the Task Force's limited endorsement is not enough impetus for him to change UB's policy of unarmed officers at this time, the issue is still open, he noted Members in favor of the recommenaarion cited such rea- · sons as "potential danger to members of the CaQlpu~ community'' and Pub.lic Safety officers, the existence of controls on armed officers, the qualifications of campus officers to carry arms and "potential delays in the timely arrival of armed representatives of the Amherst or Buffalo police." Members voti.ng not to arm cited these reasons: the iss,ue- of arming has become "political" at this time; armed officers do not "prevent .or deter others from bearing or using arms;" stricLUtes involving bearing or use of arms during "political confrontalions" have not b6en defined, . and "selective arming would be preferable to arming all offic.ers." · Other recommendations made · by the task force involve increased campus awareness and use of existin~ crime prev~ lion prograr¥S bke the AntiRape T~k Force Van and Public Safety Cnme Awareness Programs; improvements in bus availability, especially during evening hours, and lighting on campus; installation of locks on the inside of all dormitory bathroom doors; schedulin~ all evening classe s in a centralized location; the hiring of more female public safety officers; better signage on the South Gampus; establishment of a permanent Women's Safety Committee, and a review of measures designed to improve dormitory security. "The task force is to be commendea for having done a careful and thorough study," said UB President Steven ,B:-Silmple. He also stated that-he w.ould be discussing the report with University officers and various governance 9rganizarions.pcior ~ , to inaking decisions about spe- cific recommendations. The Task Force on Women 's Safety was established by Sample in August, 1984, "to advise the President on issues related'"to the personal safety and security of all members of the academic community .. . with particular emphasis on the personal safety of women." Th e group was chaired by Diane Gale, Ph.D., director of the University. Counseling Service. The task force reviewed crim e reports on campus and noted th at the 1984 calendar year saw an 8.4 per cent drop in crime from the 1983 rate, a drop similar to that reported by surrounding communities. The· rate of crimes per person is reported· as 1/30 on both UB campuses, compared to II 13 for' the City of Buffalo and 1/42 for the Town of Amherst, and 1116 for Buffalo State College. UB has the lowest crime/ student rate of the SUNY university centers; Albany and Binghamton have a 1125 rate and Stony Brook is at 1/14. The task force.report cites a need to educate the campus community -on the actual rate of crime on campus, as opposed to a perceived rate. The report notes that South Campus crimes tend to involve theft, while those on the North Campus tend to be ~sault ·::ndT..iJC ~ports. Another need cited by the report is education about th e stereotypes of rape, and the potential of acquaintance/ date rape. The report emphasizes the concept of campus community watch, in which aware ness of safety issues for oneself and others is practiced actively on a large scale. It also recomme nds more visibility for the campus court system, which deals with student offenders. Dormitory security received special attention, with recommendations for a "dormitory watch" program. In reviewing problem areas, the task force concluded, "Locking outside dorm doors will help but not eliminate crimes. Students must take an a~rive role in protecting themselves and others." The task force recommended yearly training l>rograms for dormitory head and assistant residents in safety and rape awareness. The follo~g is the report of the Task Force on Women 's Safety. Two awendixes were omitted for spac<:_ reasons. One is an article from the Dec. 5, 1984 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education called " 'Date Rape': a Serious Campus Problem that Few "(;tlk About" The other is the brochure on "date/ acquaintance rape that was prepared by the Task Force. 4 l �Women's Safety _Report II Appendix A _ ------__---_.... _ --- Members of the Task Force DL raw.: CW1, Dllwdor ...... tN-..... 0...1 -.unrr IIC CUME" 1*. w&.UAit C:CifiMOY _.......,.....,. ~·....-.~ . iaL&t..GMI"'''ffl,onc.. .,_ ,...._.,,.,..,~ -.lliowlu. &DAIIIIIONU ,_._ --...., IU.TZOWITt. .... ~-....lAf-1 - .

For example, the rate of crimes per person for Amherst is 1142; for Buffalo (city) 1113; for the University at Buffalo (all campuses) 1/ 30 (see Appendix C). The 1984 calendar year crime rate for the University W... down-8.4 cent from the 198!1 riue, a drop simtlar to that reponed by •urrounding oommuniti.es. r.e•· The figures for the University as compared with the other.urtivers•ty center campuses in the SUNY system and with other large urtiversilies nationally are similar (see Appendix D); the University at Bulialo falls about in the middle of available figures reporting crime rates. The number of rapes reponed at the University also is similar to sur-· rounding communities (see Appendix E) and other large, semi-urban.universities (see Appendix F). ln making recommendations to improve perspnal sa[ety on the cam- · pus, a number of thmgs became. clear. there is a definite need for education of the campus community on several issues. One. the ac:wal rate of crime, and that the South Campus tends to have crimes involving theft, while the North Campus is more likely to have assault and rape reports, is 1mponant information that needs to be disse.mi- fna/~!ti;~~r~,~:~c:~~ur campus is very impossible. difficul~ if not There is no one newspaper or place where information can be provided with a reasonable expectation that all will receive iL For that reaso , specific recommendations which fotlow have lried to include as many differen~ and at times o-"rlapping, ways 'of reaching faculty, slaff, and students, as possible. _ Another educational need is related to stereotypes of rape. The rapist is portrayed as a stranger lurking behindbushes who suddenly lunges at an unsuspecting coed Most rapes reponed on this and other campuses fall into the category of acquaintance or date rape. Two people who already know each other are involved, whether an ex-boyfriend, a classmate, or a new acquaintance. ' This means that women must be alert and protective of themselve.s in additional ways than they might have considered in dealing with rhe ster~ typic rapist. Also, men and women need to be aware of sex role attitudes which conlribute toward rape. Acquaintance/ date rape is often connected with alcohol/ drug abuse on the pan of either or both parties, and this information too needs to be publicized Nor is rape usually a sex crime, but rather a crime of power and dominance. And recently male victims a.re beginning to repon rapes. - Yet another educational area is the concept of campus commurlity watch, the notion that one is responsible not only for oneself but for others. Reporting suspicious looltin~ people in classrooms or donnitory bu1ldings, reporting all crimes, and swift prosecution of them is very important in mak· ing criminals aware that the University community will not tolerate crime and will tale an active stance in prevention. In implementing an effective campus community watch, prompt response on the pan of Public Safety, along with swift and fair proserution, is essential. For this reason, the campus coun sys· tern needs to be much more visible. Agai"n, the difficulty of efficient campus--wide communication is high!!ghted Ailimplicit assumption on the pan of many, that we are a community of scholars and, therefore, somehow none of us would hun. ste.al from, or attack another, must be made explicit and examined as the fallacy that it is. Public Safety apprehended twice the number of student offenders as it did non-student offenders in 1984. Although the figure for non-student apprehensions might be down some from previous years because of slaff cuts, much crime is commined by students. ·In general, there are many fine effons already being made to educate the campus commurtity about personal safety concerns. Again, the need for wider dissemination of the information and the communication difficulties were clear. The specific recommendations are as follows: The Anti-Rape Task Force Van is 1• an excellent service. lt provides educational programs and both walk and van escort services. Its use should be even more widely encouraged The Anti-Rape Task Force should 2 • have a van with an automated lif· ter to enable it to provide escon ser· vice to wheelchair-bound students. . This is especially a problem for the South Campus where there is handicapped-accessible housing within one mile of the campus. The AntiRape Task Force currently shares a val) with Community Action Corps, which has indicated that they do not share this need. lf the Anti-Rape Task Force ever has its o~ van, the 3utomated lifter should be pan of its design. . Provide a bus stop at the. loop in 3 • front of AJumni Arena so that building and pan of the campus is more readily and safely accessible at night and on weekends. This wo~ld, hopefully, be done as soon as possible to enable more students-and slaff to make use of that area of campus safely. The shuttle buses now stop by • Clement Hall on the Main Street Campus only after 5-6 p.m. Making this a regular stl>p by all Main Street buses would enhance the safety of those who 4 live in the donns or require access to them. An addilional stop by Michael Hall, perhaps by request only, would be helpful for students who are sick and gn to the University Health Service for treatment. At present, students must walk across campus through construction sites to reach the infirmary. The buses need to operate on • schedule, or as close to schedule as possible. There are numerous hor· ror stories of buses being up to an hour late; several coming at once, 5 arriving (whether on time or late) full, so that students must wai~ perhaps alone at nigh~ for the next bus; buses not arriving at all, etc. The bus stop at Ridge Lea is often cited by students in their concerns. The bus stop has-no shelter and is at a relatively isolated end of the campus, so students tend to huddle in the recessed doorway of the nearest-building, perhaps 30 feet away, or even inside the building when possible (4266 Ridge Lea). Often buses do not come to a full stop, but merely slow down, see no one irhmediately, and drive on. By the time students in the building or its doorway see the bus . and scurry to get i~ the bus is pulling away. " The Task Force suggests that the bus stop be moved toward the Ridge Lea Road end of Ridge Lea, which is more heavily trafficked,. and that a bus shelter be ereaed at the exact location of the stop; or if the stop remains where it is now, the bus driver blow the horn as the bus pulls up, and tliat the buses be required to Come to a complete st.op and wait one full -minute, giving stu· dents a chance to get to the bus from the building. Another trouble SP.Ol is Sherman Road at the Bailey Avenue intersection on South Campus, which isn't wide enough for unresuicted travel, espe· cially during snow season. There is already a "Stop Here" sign, to encourage cars to stop many feet back from the interseaion to e.ase the congestion and the "tum from Bailey onto Sherman,'but many cars fail to heed the sign and thus make the tum imppssible for buses. Th"' Task Force recommends widening Sherman Road. Perhaps this could be incl\l'ded ~ pan of the current construction project. Another bus-related recommendation is to have driVers check boarding passengers for valid University at Buffalo identification. This would help decrease the number of non-students who use the buses to gain access to the North Campus. The Task Force also endorses major bus_~~U~tl_&:!O minimize students walking alone at nighL The recom- �Women's ·Safety Report Ill Appendix D . ~ 'I'IQ.Mf , . . . . , .

This should be a yearly event A date/ acquaintance tape • flyer was prepared and dis• tributed by the Task Force at the Annual Health/ Safety Awareness Week rece9~y. Additional copies should be made available at Information Desk$ around the '?'ffipus. During campus Health / Sllfety • Week, faculty could be encouraged to discuss safety in their classes, invite appropriate speakers, read and discuss safety related anicles etc., and anicles should appear regu- ' larly in all campus publications, flyers be distributed, etc., so that the entire campus ·is regul;trly reminded of the need to be aware and alert to personal safety issues. · In educational effons tQ • increase the University community's awareness of the needs to be • careful, <f positive apl'roach would be h;etter than a list of • don 'ts."

"Safety is everybody's business." We are not automatically safe because we are on a university campus. Each of us needs to act in accordance with the safety suggestions which have been made (walking in twOS or threes at nigh~ locking dorm or office doors during non-busy hours, etc.). And people ·need to cooperate and help others. A dorm watch, as a special pan of the campus community · watch, should be developed in the dormitories, and a general attitude o f taking responsibilil)! for oneself and others encouraaed Locking outside dorm doors wilT help but NOT eliminate crimes. Students must take an active role in protecting the.mse.lves and others. Perceived versus actual crime • is often very different, with errors occurring in both directions, that is, some see the campus as a very safe place and do not take appropriate precautions, while others see u as more dangerous than it actually is, and perhaps stress themselves unduly. There is a great need for accurate information dissemination to the entire campus community about the actual crime rate and appropriate safety precautions. Some of the suggested effons to provide this include a regular column called " Police Blotter" in the &pomr and 77oe Spedrum, the two larger newspapers on campus, which would list incidents from Public Safety records; wee.kly dorm bulletins distril>uteil to resident assistants for posting on hall bulletin boards, etc. Ufe ~orkshops and the Anti• Rape Task Force offer selfdefense l~s. These need to be advenised re. ucation and awareness of • alcohol/drug abuse issues is encouraged ·as alcohol and drugs are . often involved in acquainlance/ date rape. Rape. sexual assaul~ and • harassment awareness training for Public Safety officers, head residents, and resi<knt assistants will make reponing of these incidents easier for. victims, and eventually encourage still more reponing. ln addition, the campus community should be continuously encouraged to repon incidents of actual and attempted rape and assault with swift, appropriate penalties im~sed "": campus couns and com. muruty pofice. Campus community watch will • work if there is a dc~.ar, accurate 5ense that students, faculty, and staff are alert, are paying anention to potential crime, and th~ ar~ calling - appropriate authon es in case something or someone look;' suspicious. 12 13 1.4 ,... ___ .. ____ ....__ .. , ., , E.::.:-.:S=:s.::::.-=--~mendation is that the current shuttles (Ellicou-Hamilton, Main Street-F1int, etc.) continUe. Other buses could circle each campus. On the South Campus, for e.xample, the buses would stop at Clement Hall; the Main-Bailey parking lot across from the Windermere loop (for students who use Metro bus to get to South Campus, then Bluebirds to get. from South to North Campus or Ridge Lea); take Hayes Road to a stop at Townsend (to pick up students who live in North Buffalo within walking distance of the South Campus); agam by Parker; and then th~ current stop at Deifendort: On the No'rth Campus, the bus would circle Putnam Way and stop by Lockwood, F1int Loop, Fronczak, and Bell. Send a letter to all instructors of • ~enin~ cl~ and supervisors of staff working night shifts listing safety su~stions such as not walking alone at mght, but in a group; making certain each one anives at the car/bus safely, etc. Advenise the Public Safety • number, exL 2222, as a resource to repon safety-related maintenance concerns, such as lights out in parking lots. As pan of an Environmental Design class, a sticker with this and other imponant infom:~ation is being designed for classrooms. A rer'Jar check of campus • lighung, especially in parking . lots, with promp1 correction of pro!>, lems already occurs. Once a month the Physical Plant and the Anti-Rape Task Force e>.c h check the campuses. The two groups work independen~y. so there are twO checks every month. This practice has proven valuable and should be continued. It, too, needs to . . be publicized. To the extrnt possible, lighting • problems which came to the atten uon of the Task Force were cor. rected. Ughting circuitry is buried underground and digging is impossible during cold winter mqnths. Also, extremely wet ground may pres.;nt an electrical hazard and result in further delo to 'repair work. Additional advenising of the • availability of Pubtic Safety's Crime Prevention Progr'ims is needed so that even more people are made more aware of the problems and how they can increase their personal safety. These programs include Self-Defense, Rape Awareness, and General Crime Prevention~ .

Campus representatives, Public Safety and muniopal police must communicate and exchange infonnation regularly. Again, court action and sanaions must occur swiftly for maximum effea. Public Safety does an excellent . • job of presenting Crime Awareness Programs. Since acquai-:ttance/ date rape (between two people who already know each other) is so frequent on campuses, the need for makin~ males and females aware of the atutudes and behaviors which conDibme to such incidents is great The Counseling Service 3J.1d the Sexuality Education Center are working together to design a program to be presented · during Freshmen Orientation, Freshmen Colloquia, (perhaps mandatory) donn meetings, etc. ln addition, student government officials, I mer-Greek Council members, student club officers, and other studem leaders should also take part in such programs since these students interact with so many others. ;md help make others more aware. Public Safety h as just com• pleted Rape Crisis Training, as well as formulating a new policy and procedure for rape and sexu.al assauiL victims. Such training should take place at least once a year so that all staff are as effective as possible in working with victims. In addition, Housing and .the • Student Association have just completed a very successful training progrdm for resident assistants. TI1e program covered materials on sexual assault, harassmen~ aQd rape. both educating and increasing the awareness of the panicipants around these · issues. Again, this should be c;lone at least once every year. preferably during August resident assistants' lraim ng, or early io the school year. Student Association members • are also working on a safety awaniness program designed to · increase the awareness of donnitory students about such issues as locking their room doors at all times, especially before going to sleep, locking the bathroom door when taking a shower during times when feW people are about, using the Anti-Rape Task Force van or walk escon service rather than walking alone at nigh~ W..lking in pairs o r small groups at nigh~ locking car . doors, parking in well-lit areas when at all possible, not studying alone in empty classrooms, not stealing ligh1 bulbs from the hallways, etc. Again, this kind of presentation 21 22 23 24 to,answer their doors at all hours of the night The peepholes would provide them protection against opening their doors to unknown people and would be desirable for all doors. Speci6cally, Within Housing, • there is a need to improve the infonnation dissemination following major incidents such as sexual assaults, rapes, weapon assaults, etc. Pan of the difficulty is in the sensitive nature of the material to be released Perhaps.a · joint decision made by Housing, Public ·Safety, and legal counsel could result ·in releases circulated to area coordinators, head residents, and resident assistants for posting. Floor meetings could be scheduled for discussion of the event--and reminders of. safety pre- . cautio ns which might forestall fuwre similar events. 26 While it is suggested that first• floor donnitory windows be ./ equipped with locks which discourage outside entry, Public Safety points out that there have been no reponed window entries; students leave their doors unlocked and thus provide easy and safe access to the.i r rooms for criminals to take ~dvantage of. Stickers remincfinJ! students to lock their doors are bemg made up for each dormitory room door. 27 There is a need for locks on • th e inside of all dom1itory bathroom doors. Some bathrooms in Govemors Hall already h ave such locks. People taking showert very late at night, early in the morning. or other times when there are nqt many others awake or in the area are very vulnerable to someone ente ring the bathroom and harassing or assa ulting them. Housing/ Public Safety have incidem reporu of such occurrences. In addi· tion, students need to be reminded and encouraged to use the bathroom locks, and to lock their own room doors as well, while they arc: in th e bathroom. 28 29.

Student Wode Judiciary (SWJ) has implemented a variety of methods designed to promote greater etticiency in the adjudication of cases. The major changes locus on the process1ng of mcfdents within the dormitories. • Previousty. cases which originated within the dormitories were randomty assigned to SWJ IUS!tces and prosecutors. In order to a11a1n continuity, currentty justices and prosecutors are specaf1calty asslgned to hear dormitory cases throughout the year. This procedural change · allows the JUSttees and prosecUlors to become more cognizant of the problems and issues facmg students Within the dormitory sening • The methods for service of process upon a student reqUire re·examination.

Court calendars become backk>gged and S!QnlfiCantttme delays allow the student to drag out court cases over thfi semester.· One posstble vehtcle to prevent thts SttuatiOn would be tile htnng of a pan· time student process server Once the student tS served. and a Group Legal Serv~ces (GLS) delense atlorney ts appomted, tt would be the burden of the defense anomey to nouty his client of any funher coi!!Yproceed1ngs. At thts ttme Housing allows the AA's to serve process upon the defendant student Thts, however. could exacerbate a Situation. as the RA is usually the ong1nal complainant. Perhaps a Vtable alternative would be to have our dorm patrol serve ~ process after oth~r r.easona~e allempts have been made. By not streamlining the court system. it permits probfem students to remain in the dormttones and on campus This can resuh m the reoccurrence of the dysfunctional behavior and posstble 1njury to other Sludents. Also, tnordinate delays 1n JUstice usually result m the final adJudiCation havng lttUe or no meaning to Jhe offender. A continuing complaint by some depanments who frequently deal with the SWJ is the Court's unnecessary preoccupation With complex legal1ssues both in procedure and evidence. The use of over2ealous law students. at times, can tntimidate the justices. Since the SWJ is ne1ther a cnmtnal nor civU coun of law. bUl more along the lines of an admtntstrahve hearing, more del1nite rules should be drafted concerning the scope of legal arguments. Also. the justices, prosecutors. and defense anorneys must be fully trained to aVOid becom1ng too wound up In legalese. By limiting this. it allows the court more lreedom to · examtne an the aspects of a case Without adherence to the stnct rules of evidence·and procedure. whtch will facilitate full disclosure of all the tssues tnvO!ved. To anract a larger pool of justtces. some form of remuneration must be available The ChiE!f Justtee now IS the onty patd JUstice. If it is not feasible to offer monetary tncentives col · lege credrts should be offered to the justices for 011e semester. By offering college credtts for thetr servtCes. the Universrty and students in return would receive a more knowledgeable and effictent court system akmg w1th a more serious time commitment from the justtees The electiOn of all the JUStices should be held in the spring. This procedure would result in a full court be1ng immed1ately available to hear cases within the f1rst few weeks of the fall semester. Any vacancies would be hUed either tn the general fall election or by appointment Also, the just1ces WOUkJ have a m•n•mum of one year of the Universjty experience. This knowledge and expeuence of campus life wou'd offer the court system invaluable insight into campus issues and prob'ems. wtuch •s lacking with some of the JUstices. To assure greatm expentse and etficteney, a bifurcation of the SWJ is recommended. Ql'\e court should be only concerned with the issues and probtems arising out of the dorm~ories. as this IS where the most voluminous case load appears. All other maners, sttch as off. campus problems occumng on campus (flOC the dormitories), ~ion vio(ations, academic problems. etc. should be handled by the other court. Finally. a concern voiced by many was the ability ol the SWJ 10 impose and recommend '· sancttons The court has the ability to reconimend everything from expulsiOn to ·probation. Whal ts ladung is a midd~ ground. Previousty. campus communjty work programs were utilized as a viable sane1100. Oifftcullies arose concerning the supervision of the defendant student It is recommended that these types of pt'Oglams be reassessed in light of the gap in possibte sentences. In conclusion, i1 is fimlly believed that these recommendatoos. if impkHnentecl, wiU resuh tn a swifter and more logical app<oacflto the hearing of cases befa<e the SWJ, without sacriftcing-the rights and privileges of the accused or the victim. ·aa There is a definite, strong • need for additional Public Officers, especially women.

The caJ!Ipus generally has • good access for handicapped, persons and is relatively safe, although the visually impaired are encouraged to have guide dogs whenever possible to thwan auac!<ers. There is a need for speedy • enforcement of campus rules and regulations. Currently, the University's court system is not weiLknown. lt needs more publicity so that people are aware that there are sanctions for misconduct and that those sanctions will be swiftly imposed. · Sanctions for ntisconduct will act as a dete.r rent to students and nonstudents alike and the campus "unfriendly" to crimit1als. Publishin.g names of offenders, especially students (as opposed to non-students) in the Police Blotter column of the campus newspapers, would also show that the campus community will not tolerate criminals or make it easy for them to continue their activities, at least on campus. Appendix J is a repon on suggestions for improving the Student Wide Judiciary, one of three couns on campus. AJI three couns need to act more swiftly and publicly than they currently do. A Women's Safety Committee, 37 38 39 40 41 • consisting of about six representative students, facuhy, and staff, should be appointed to continue the effons stan:ed by the current Task Force. The campus needs a central, designated group to whom to suggest funher improvements as they become::: indicaled, and lo coordinaLe theahro~~fi~~~rature, speakers, eLC., ready The Computing Center sate]• lite on the South Campus is currently located in the baseme nt of Crosby Hall and is totally isolated from the rest of the campus now that the buildin(! has been vacated of all other offices m preparatiory for renovation. The unit needs speti.al auention from Public Safety because of its isolation. It is recommended that when the Computing Center satellite is relocated that the new locatioh be in a highly trafficked area, since users, operators, and consult.ams are in lhe salellhe until it doses at midnight Bethune Hall needs its secur... • ity alarm system reconnected to the South Campus Public Safety Office. The alarm has not functioned since Thanksgiving. Additional Public Safety Aides could be used here too. 42 43 Abbott Library now closes at 9 • p.m. Students who are accustomed to studying late in that library sometimes now use classrooms which are often desened and isolated, a very unsafe P.ractice. Signs should be posted by the library staff in Abbott remmding students that the Health Sciences Library in Kimball Hall is still open until II p.m. and that studying in a vacant classroom is unsafe and unwise. This should be done promptly. The South Campus needs • more and better signage to guide people through the construction sites. Re.flective signs would enable people to thread their way through the fences and around holes more safely at night The Task force recommends that maintenance inlplement this as soon as possible. . The ~de nt Public Safety _ • Aides are doing a fine job of · being "eyes and ears" for Public Safety. .,.. St~nl volunteer aic!e. gt<>Ups recently 44 45 46 reponed in South Campus dorms, highlight the need for more trained and supervised Student Public Safety Aides. Housing is already working on a plan to provide a single room or priorIty in the lottery for rooms for the following year to volunteers who wish to be aides. The Task fot;ee re<ommends continuing this practice so thal volunteers are screened. properly trained and supervised. Students should not be performing professional peace officers duties; they should be patrolling dormitories to deler crime, noticing people who do not belonl! in the area, or who are behaving susp1ciously, and calling Public Safety when action is indicated. · A ratio of one aide per building per quad in Elli_cott is suggested with a similar ratio for Governors and the South Cargpus dorms. Alumni Arena has already • been reviewed with personal safety in mind. There are no outside door handles except fo r the fron ~ entrance doors. There is controiTed access from 3 p.m. until 'closing. Paid studenl aides check for identification at the front desk. Public Safety Aides patrol the halls and will ask unauthorized people to leave, calling PUblic Safety for backup when needed. Both gyms and locker rooms are patrolled. Nevenhel_ess, some students have requested'lrdditional aides to p,atrol the locker rooms, especially duri ng periods of low use. Perhaps a woman could be on dury at all times in the women's locker room, as one was at Clark Gym. It is recommended that resi• dent ~istanrs not have pornographic or sexist materials displayed in the1r rooms so that students will be · more comfonable in reporting, rape. sexual assault, or harassme nt to them. Every effon to select resident assistants who are sensitive to issues of ~rsonal safety should be made, in addition to the trai ning already mentioned being provided to enhance the awareness. Dormitory locks on South • Campus residence halls which already have them should be conven ed to the dead-bolt-kind.

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

Na ught on points out. The misunderstandi ng of the public, Naught on emp hasizes, is based on a perception that skyrocketing malpracJice premiums si mpl y reduce the already high mcomes of physicians but do not affect any other part of society. The reality, the 51-year-<>ld cardiologist asserts. is th at premiums ultimately get passed on to the co nsumer. Possibly even worse is the danger that needed health care services may be reduced, depriving citizens of the full range an d quality of many of the medical -se rvices they now expect and depend on. Spiraling costs threaten bo~h MDs & the public "T By BRUCE S. KERSHNER he malpract ice insurance controversy is not just a doctor's .problem, but an iss ue t~t affects the average citizen - in the pock.e tbook and in the quality of health care that he or she may need," maintains John Naughton, dea n of UB's Medical School. · The. problem, however, he states, .. is that the average citizen doesn't realize this. If the community-at-large does n ~ perceive the skyrqcketing costs of malpractiCe insurance as their problem, too, then both the average citizen and the physician will share in payi ng for the . ) t consequences ... ThiS is how a ught on, who is also the University's vice president fo r clinical affairs, res ponds to the ongoing Statewide controversy that cul minated in both a n intensive lobbying effort May 21 by local med ical societies in Albany and a protest by 5,000 physicians at the State Ca pitol in late April.

The nearly 100 per ce nt increase in one year led to direct action by area medical societies in Western ew York and throughout the State. Probably over half of th e Erie he UB School of Med icine has been conferred continui ng full accreditation for a period of four years by the Liaison Committee on Medical EducaLion (LCME). This committee is the nationally recognized agency for accreditation. of medical schools. Reaccreditation is a vital process that has fundamental effects on a school's standing and reputation and its ability to ma intai n theq ualityof both its programs and its faculty. •;The reaccreditation report represents a significant improvement over the last visit in 1980," Vice President John , aughton. dean of the Medical School. commented . The 19 0 reaccreditation was conferred for o'nly two_year~ . "At their 1980 'isit. the team raised a number of ques tion~ .

Of the $600-700 million in insurance p~emiums for 1985, aggrieved patie nts are likely to receive less than 20 per ce nt . with ins urance companies rcceivtng most of the rest , UB Med School so urces indicate. Current malpractice premiums translate to $36,000 to $44,000 per year in Weste rn New York and $80,000 to S 100,000 annually in Long Island for the three specjalties with the highest rates: neurosurgery, orthopaedics and gyne- • cology.

Said simply. in Naugh ton's view. the malpractice sy ndrome contributes to spiraling inflation. • Hospitals arc sued for malpractice just as frequently as doctors, and these institutions typically pay $100.000 o r ~ o re an nuall y in malpractice premiums. Their payments are increasing also, another so urce of increased overhead that must be absorbed. • A se rious cu tback in health services • See Malprec:tlc::e, page 2 identified 24 strengths and nine concerns it wants addressed by th e next eval ua tio n in 1988-89. · The most important concern was related to the "fragile financial status of the maj qr teaching hospitals" which th.e accredi tors view· as posing a threat to residency programs and to the -potential fu ture resources for the School."

Decreases in the quality of health care are also possible for other reasons. For instance. the practice of ••defensive .. medici ne by phy 1cians in high risk ~pe- . cialties is a distinct possibili1y. This means that some doctors will choose to be more selective in the practice of surgery or medical treatment, avoiding bot h the highest risk operations as well as elective surgery. Another reason. D r. Leo · Hopkins, clinical associate· professor o( neurosu rgery, explai ns, is that " ew York State, a nd Western New York in p articu. lar, will be losi ng val ua ble health care providers, especially ¥Oung physicians starti ng out and older physicians contemplating e = y reti rement, because' of the ma lpracti risis.

For instance, a o.ne per cent decrease in hospjtal revenue caused by a drop in patient admissions can translate to an annual loss of almost $1 ,000,000. When a hospi.tal's financial solvency is affected, such losses can then translate into job layoffs of nurses and other hospital staff.

The -school's clinical practice plan directs five per cent of faculty / physicians' income earned through private practice back to the Medical School to be used for education and other needs. "It could also seriously affect the training of new doctors through o~r residency programs and may have indirect effects on the University's nursing and other health care training efforts," he remarks. The two bills before t he legislature are good first steps, believes D r. Naughton because they will partly relieve th~ dilemma. They could slightly reduce the rate of increase in premiums, set limits on settlements for some types of damages, amortize awards instead of the present practice of paying in lump sums, and put a cap on attorneys' fees. But more is needed to resolve the problem beyond 1985. The crisis will continue. Naughton points out , unless additional legislation limits both the size of other types of awards and increases in premiunis: He ur~es members of the Universit y community to let legis lators know their feelings on this issue and to support the pending malpractice legislation. . "Better s~lf-policing of the medical pr ofession is a lso impo rtant," he remarks. "Peer review, setting of more effective standards and better · enforcement ofthqse standards by hospitals and ph.ysicians would be effective selfpolicing methods." The remaining approach to solving th e dilemma is the most difficult. Much has been written about .. the American trad ition of litigation" and all its negat ive impacts on society. Whateverit. he merits of these complaints on other pans of society, aughton is clear that h1gh rates of malpractice litigation are hurting society as a whole. "What it really comes down to is that everybody else is paying for the large malpractice settlements of a few. ... .. However it works out, the current malpractice syndrome is undesirable for all aspects of society - the physician, the patient, the public, the hospital industry, and the economy," he concludes. 0 Changes would ease transferring here K T wo proposed changes in policies may make life easier for students transferring to UB.

They will be worked out bet ween a depa rtment at the community college and the correspond ing department at UB. The agreements will spell o ut what a student need s to take at the communit y college and what average is required to be admitted to a certain depanment here. It could work like a dual admission, Kunz said, with the student spending the first two years at th'e co mmunity college and the lasr two at UB. If the student meets the requirements at the communit y co llege set out in the agreement. he would be guaran1eed adm issio n int o h is depanmcnt here. Kunz said .

Siggelkow added to this thought by observing that an estimated 10-15 per ce nt of the work force nationally has problems affecting job performance. Siggelkow earned a Ph.D. in counseling and hasserved more than 26 years as a faculty member and administrator. He became involved with the EAP for a variety of reasons. On the humanitarian side, he sees the program "as one way to help people maintain self-esteem, employment, and health."

She stressed that she will have no con· tact with the record s of anyon e who seeks the help of a coordinator but will merely work to assist in establishing t\es with helping agencies. Mather became invo lved with the EAP at the request of Siggelkow but has personal interest in th e concept. "I worked as a secretary for the Psychology Department and was a member of the CSEA . . . . I think it's a good program that will be very helpful," she said . She added "a lot of people know they have problems but they don 't know where to turn - they're sort of flounder· ing on their own.

Now that the EAP committee has selected the three' coordinators they will begi.n training sessions for administrat ors and supervisory personnel.

Any employee who has a personal problem, whether it be alcoholism, drug abuse, a physical disability, or an emo· . tiona! difficulty, can seek out the services offered by this program.

But others had . high praise for her apparent selflessness and tenderness toward an those suffering and politically oppressed. Despite her docile tones, however, she refused to sh rink before the rigors of her revolut ionary ethic. In fact, she fervently preached revolutionary themes throughout her life, firmly rejecting the cause of parliamentary reform, favoring instead sensatio nal acts of violence in which only a few, rather th an many, would be sacrificed.

Her experie nce in the Commune, in which 20,000 "communards" were killed in the fighting or executed on the spot. left her bitterly anti-clerical and anti-religious.

Hooley ·is optimistic that the controversy will be sell led this week. The election difficulties have been brought to the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) for a ruling. . " I'm hoping that the SWJ will come out with a ruling befole the next board meeting," Hooley said . r he action of the Division nf Student Affairs is the result of student leuers which voiced concern about S ub-Board's problems, Lorenzelli noted. He added that although he recognizes that Sub· Board must solve its own problems, it would be unfair for his office to recognize the signature of Hooley or Wanner as official. ··we're saying that we feel it would be irresponsible for us to recognize anyone whose legitimacy is in question," Lorenzetti said. Although Sub-Board is a corporation, it is funded by studen t governments. Lorenzetti explained th3t the body is recognized as a d isbursing a~ency for the~e groups prov1dmg that II operates m accordance with guidelines established with the University. "The arrangement. has worked well so far," he noted . .. But now we have toques· tion whether or not they are acting appropriately." According to Pearles, Sub-Board is not functioning properly. Pearles added that the controversy sur= rounding the treasury is only pan of the problem. Other divtsive issues include proposals for restructuring th e corporation and the powers of th e student governmem presidents. "It's all related to politics and the desire of some board members to make decisions without having to comprom ise with other points of view, .. Pearles noted . Un til Sub-Board addresses these and other problems, they will not be serving the st udents, Pearles maintains. Cornish agrees with this assessment. He noted that the board of directors has not functioned properly for two months. "They've been acting irresponsibly since it was formed ,.. he said. Cornish added that freezing"the funds allocated to Sub-Board is in tended to serve as a warning. "We want to let the board know that we are extremely unhappy with its con-duct." 0 Students propose shifting traffic from Capen. to SAC . A By CON IE OSWALD STOFKO shift of traffic away fro m Capen and toward the underused Student Activities Center (SAC)' is just one theme in a complex set of proposals for improving life at UB developed by students in the Environmental Design 460 class and unveiled in mid-May. . . . The proposals were the result of a proJect that studied the quality of studen t life as tJ relates to recruitment and retention. Physical, academic, and social aspects of Umverstty life were studied. The students were directed by their ipstructor, Dr. Scot! Danford. A number of physical changes were recommended to draw students to the AC. One proposal was to replace Ha milton .!,.QO.PJ located near Engineering West, _wlfh a parking lot. Lee Road , wh ich runs al ong the Cast side of the SAC and! he west side of the Boo kstore, would then be wid ened and the Lee Loop enl arged . Lee Rd . would come to a full intersection wit h John .James Audubon Pk y., continue across Audubon, and then connect with the Ell icon Tunnel. The area formed by the SAC, Bell and Knox would be developed into a " Fountain Square" for outdoor gatherings. It should include a central fountain~nch seating and more trees, the students recomm.encfed. The SAC itself should be expanded by addition of a glass atrium, the students suggested. The student space now located in Capen an8 Norton would b.e takef! over, as recommended by the plan, by student services such as adm issions. reg.: i~ati on , ttcademic a~v!sing, and stu~ent .accounts, thus centrahZJ ng those servaces. ays to " human ize" the Spine in an allerppl to provide an id ~ ntit y and to reduce vandalism were suggested . They include allowing students to personalize their departmen1al areas and installing a "graffiti wall" in the tunnel between Knox and the SAC. Another suggestion Was to install a clock tower to provide a foc us for the Spine, provide. a sourc~ of. orientation, break up the monotony of the predominantly horizontal architee:ture, and serve as a symbol of the campus in the way that Hayes Hall tower serves the Main Street Campus. . Other proposals concern the development of Parcel B and Lake LaSalle. The students recommend that a retail mall be built on Parcel B that would aurae! shoppers f rqm the surrounding co mmunity. It could include theaters, a night club,· restaurants st'fViifg ethnic W ·rood s, a bank , post office, and ski and skate rentals. Lake LaSalle would ' be an ideal locati on for a park that could be used by both the University and out,side community, the st ud ents said . The..park, near the site of the planned fine ans building, could have a theme similar to Artpark's. One proposal in the academic area is to enhance teaching effectiveness by making rewar.ds for good Leaching equal to those for research. To aid the social as"'cts of stu.dentlife, i~ was recommendtd that an Attiletic Club be created to plan social events centered around athletic events, such as pep rallies and victory parties, helping to spread school spin!. · 1 be class was a~ked to undenake this project by Dr. Lawrence Kojaku , T . • See Capen, page 15 . �June 1985 Summer No.1 II 1.

Graduates were happy, too-glad to be done w~th the grind, glad to get on with the rest of their lives. Some gradujltes of yesterday were equally happy to come back: among them were 1952 Engineering Grad Erich Bloch (now head of the ational Science Foundation) who received an honorary Doctor of Science degree and a 1967 grad from the same faculty, Gregory Jarvis, who 's scheduled to be on an. August Space Shuttle flight. Jarvis picked up a UB flag to take on that mission and gave the Engineering Commencement address. " Reach for the Stars," he urged. Other commencement speakers included Brooklyn D.A . Elizabeth Holtzman, Buffalo baseball luminary, Robert Rich, Jr., who invoked Luke Skywalker of "Star Wars," and the president-elect ofthe American Dental Association. Here is a round-up report: he C hancello r Charles P.

He has a true spirit of compassion·, sacrifice. and endurance." Hon orary Doctor of Science degrees were conferred on Erich Bloch. director of the National Science Foundation. and Pierre Dcjours. internationally respected French researcher in th e field of respiratory physiology. An honorary Doctor of Laws degree was awarded to Ec!win F. Jaeckle. distinguished area lawyer. Conferring the honorary degrees were SUNY Trustees Judith L. Duken, John L.S.

President Sample conferred bachelor's degrees on 2,716 graduates. ll)asl~r's degrees on 873, a,.d Ph.D.'s on 246. _ In his address to graduates and their families, Sample noted that UB's commencement w.as pan of a S U Y-wide celebration of its one millionth graduate. fi e also1hanked the Class of 1985 for its "generous Senior Challenge Gift:' dri ve, - ;:.;;;;:;;~~~.- in_which more thim ~0,000 was pledged by class membe ~, a continuation-of a practioe.initialed .by tbe .aass of J984. • A 1920 graduate of the UB Law School, Desmond was the first person to hold the position of C hief Judge in the state. Amo ng his many awards, he has received a State Bar Association Meda l for distinguished service to his profes· sion, the Brotherhood Award of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. and the Buffalo Club Medal for civic service. Bloch, wlio was appointed to his post as director of NSF by President Reagan in 1983, is a UB grad uate in electrical engineering. Before assuming the SF post, he held the position of vice president fqrtechnical personnel development at IBM Corp. His ci tation for the hon orary degree read: "The impact of your scien tific innovation and foresight in the ' area of se miconductor circuitry has con~ tributed significantly to the development. refinement, and present status of computer technology. [You have demonstrated] a co mmitment to academic research and to science and engineering education which is renected .t oday in the vigorous new leadership you have given to the NSF."

Martin said, bcca.u e it is' more easily accessed. it is easier to update, and it provides more specific information gn a wider range of areas. Although it was developed for industry. UB faculty may find the database helpful in locatmgother faculty with similar and allied re earch interests. M anin pointed out. That's been theca cat institutions with imilar systems. ..S tanford and Michigan found that although it was intended for industry, it was most used by faculty looking for other faculty, •• he said. he com puter program was developed T by Advanced Autom1tion Concepts. Inc., a company which acted as a consultant to the TDC, Manin said. The company is headed by James Blascovich, associate professor in health behavioral sciences at UB. An advantage of the system is that it can co nduct a ..string search"' to pinpoint information wanted . Each faculty member listed submits a detailed description of his or her work, explained Beth Wurl, word processing and database manager at TDC. Key words can be sought from those descnptions, making it possible to find noi only researchers in such vague categories as cellul ar biology or immunology, but also tliose who work specifically on monoclonal antibodies. Wurl gave a demonstration using the word "behavior." The name of anyone who used the word ·•behavior" in the description of his pr. her work was soo n printed on the screen. There were about 40 names in fields such as mechaniC.! and aerospace engineering, physiology, nursing, periodontics, orthodontics, chemistry~ physics and astronomy, and psychology. . If a researcher iopsycho[ogical be haylOr had been sough t, just those names ~ould have !>ten called up. If psychologIcal behav1or, · but not its chemical aspects, w ouglit, any of the psychologists with the word "chemical" m their work description could be excl uded, explained .Jacob W.

Another possibility "would be to New delobate will bring UB reaourcea on-line. he equipment requ ired for retrieving information is simple. Martin said . All a bu~iness client or facu lty member needs is an IBM- PC and telephone modem or hookup. When he visi ts clients, Martin carries a briefcase in one hand and a portable microcomputer in the oth er. With th e portable computer, searches can be made even if the cltent doesn't own th e necesary equipment. · Whether using the portable equipment or his own, the client can view the material simultaneously with the TDC staff. The specific informa tion wanted can then be sent to the client by electronic mail: Manin explained . It has not yet been decided what the charges for the service will be or wh o will be charged. he said . There are about 800 facult y fro m fi ve i nstitutions in the databa~e now a nd Martin hopes eventually to have about 2.000. Faculty in technical areas such as engineering and medicine arc alread y included. and faculty from U B's School of Management may be added . The research capabilities of about 80 Western ew York companies are listed. but Man in said he hopes to increase that number to 500. The goal for listings of grjllltrand contracts is 5,000. There are about 2,000 listed now. Martin said. Only grants and contracts from UB and Roswell Park are · currently listed. The database has no restrictions on how information can be: organized, Wurl said ; the combinations are limirless. Faculty are kept straight by their Social Security numbers because so many names are similar. But no Social Security numbers show up on any printou t, WUrl said. · The TDC has receiVed · permission from each per on listed to use his or her name. The agency had the blessing of the University and the support of deans to solicit faculty membtrs, Manin said. Faculty were allowed to double-check inforl!lation for accuracy. T a an in is interested in the possibility of establishing a State-wide network with the database. Research in areas that ca n~ be pursued industrially here co uld be shared with other areas . .

T-he TDC is looking for someth ing th at has an application to local industry that no one else has cared to develop. he said. .. There would be an arm's-le ngth relationship between the TDC and its for-profit affiliate." Martin explained. The UB Medical School this month is turn ing over an additional6.000 square feet of space to the TDC. Martin said . The TDC uses space in the Medical School"s bu ildings at 2211 Main St.. Buffalo. near Sisters Hospital. With the new space. TDC will have a total of24.000 square feel. Martin said. Of that . 12.000 square feel will be act~al lab space.

Trudeau's CJoonesbury. Is the I . Puliua- Prize- . . often replaced with glib, facile buffoonery which bas no bndy and, narratively speaking, no song whatsOever. The truth of the matter is that, despite the best effons of bigljly artistic individuals over the past 20 yean, the overall product which sac;bcs today's mass audience is extremely shabby, and bas often placed the future of the idiom in question. · ' Looting at the history of comics, one must wonder· why this need be so. With 'an idiom· that bas produced the diverse likes of McGay's liu/e Nemo, Foster's Prince Valiant, Eisner's Spirit, Asterix by Goscinny and Uderzo, and Breathed's Bloom County, it is obvious that the comic page bas produced quite an impressive array of work over the decades. and is capable of nunuring much more. It's also obvious, as long as the need to provoke is stymied by the desire to maintain, that the comics - ~tallyacomic~b bappeils to editorial~ or an editorial which bas crossed the liDe from the "serious• section to .the "funny pap"? What is the streJIIth which bas seen Doonesbury through 15 yean of changing societal temperament, and enabled its author to suspend the daily series for 20 months, only to return more .creative thlln ever? To answer these q plctcly as p<>Kible, it fi omes necessary to eschew any po Jar opiaillns currently held con=n e validity of the comic p&&e; in p nicular, the loJ11-5tanditl'g notion that comics are fit only as a hotbed for gimmicky action, quic;t thrills, bogus JDflN£,/IHAT ~ 'rOll 7RYIN6 10 0/1..

Where current events and timeless issues are concerned, its honesty bas frequently offended varied factions of the popUlace and, in doing so, it bas struct a chord of responsible insight. In daring to be. truthful enough to risk offense, yet playful enough to narratively entenain ourthoughts at all times, Doonesbury bas become a pivotal marriage of journalism and follctale; telling a story which chronicles, personifies, and distills changing times, shifting attitudes, and prevailing emotional constants. This bas been lii:complisbed by Trudeau without the luxury of masking the issues within funny animals (e.g. Walt Kelly's classic Pogo), or cloalcing them within the dubious safety of typecasts (e.g. Capp's li? AbJU!r). Telling his tale through people who ,- for all their distinctiveness - are very hard to pigeonhole, T rudeau has-1:hosen a route which is · our they had vowed to uphold. By the 1980s, it was clear that ideals alone were not, and had never been, enough. Doonesbury bas always conveyed the point that ideals without common sense will invariably place us in line to commit the same basic mistakes, and compound upon the blealr.est trafCdies common to all our preecdang g<!nerations. Whatever the race, creed, religion, gender, sexual preference, or profession. Trudeau has made it clear that "DO one is immune to ignorance. Nor, as we · continue to see, arc: we alwB:YS invulnerable against the threat of intelligence. ..In the vital analysis, Trudeau's Doonesbury must be recognized as a literary masterwork; a 15 year flow of novelistic immensity which bas surmounted the media of print, screen, and stage to become a cultural institution all its own.

The fact that this view bu been upheld by uninformed media and the selfproclaimed intellectuals of today'J "pop" culture scene bas helped to keep the overall idiom of comics light in imp3!'1, safe to swallow, and easy to take for granted. Yet it's also true that much of the comics industry has left itself open for such misconception due to poor assessment of public taste, and .a basic na ivete where the ;ntelligence of its own readership is concerned. Aiming for the new breed of one-shot collectors, honing sharply for mass sensationialism. and i~oring the longrange damage thiS produces within the market, we see results like Secrel Wars, 71le Smurfs, Qr the Superman f S u{X'rgirl films. Here, provocative . caricature, drama, and wit are too in the manner of any other ~reative idiom - will continue to face enormous struggles, wasting preCious time and energy sim ply to prove the integrity of !ts O!"n best endeav ors. H ow, then, does Doonesbury surmount this dilemma? The answer is that Trudeau has boldly chosen to bypass th is maze altogether. Where many authors blindly cater to public whim, or stoically fall into a frustrated rut of the .. look-see-we-are-serious-and-relevant" variety, Trudeau makes the wise choice of letting his work speak its own piece. No preachiness will be found in Doonesbury's message, nor is dangerous because it requires a rare balance of the brusque, the ~loquent. and the plain to make it work. That it not only works but has grown and continuously develops, even now, is' a stark testimony to Trudeau's investigative diligence, speculative shrewdness, and playwnght's eye fu r knowmg how to channel cbaracterizational tension and release, to say nothing of a master cartoonist's ab iht y to juxtapose whimsy and pathos.

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

PH OTOS JIM S IJ I 'f. RJ COUJGH01\. MARC I..EEOS • PHYLLIS C HJUSTOPHFR �How the Games Be.gan The idea came from the Canad ians lattsburgh attorney Lou Wolle was driving in his car one hot, summer day in 1976 when he heard a rad io report describing the success of the Canadians during the Olympic Games in Montreal. "They· attributed the success of the Canadian team to the network of am~­ teur athletic competitions hel_d throughout Canada," Wolfe reca lled. "So I thought to myself. if they can d o it in Canada, why can't we ·do it here in New Yort< State?" And the concept of the Empire -State Games was born. The New York State mmission on Spbrts and Winter Olympi a stand ing committee whose prima objective at that fime was to plan th 198(}' Winter.Oiympics at Lake Placid, as also asked by then-Gevernor Hugh Carey to look into the feasibility of mounting the Empire State Games. Commission members met in February of 1977 to discuss the ga mes concept at the house of the president · of Plat1 sburgh College. P Margaret Grossberger, a commission member. recalls that brainstorming session: "It was a cold, wintry day rn February of 1977 when we got together to discuss the forming of the games. Some of the people present were at first a lit11e skeptical about the whole thing. But. as the meeting proceeded, it seemed to be more and more possible. The idea just took off that night. It's a night I'll never fo rget." Dr. Ernest Rangazas, director of athletics at the State University College at Pla t1sburgh. was instrumental in setting up the games. Rangazas was the one who suggested the event be called the "Empire State Games." The name was well rece ived and it stuck.• The concept gained momentum when Governor Carey took a strong interest in the games. T he first Empire State Games were finally held in August of 1978 in Syracuse and the next six games were also held there. "The games were originally set up to move to a diffe rent venue each year. but no on6 had !he kind of facili. ties and accommodations that Syracuse had to' house and feed so ' . many athletes at one tim.e." said Mike Abernethy, executive director of the ErT)pire State GameS. "Syracuse didn't want to lose them once they got them. The ~am es did a lot for,Syrac use." This year's games as well as next year's will be based at the Stale University at Buffalo and elsewhere in the Western New York area. "The rdea of moving the games to Buffalo started in 1981. A lot of planning was involved."' said Abernethy. Aside from the influx of dollars and commerce that the games will generate, Abernethy believes the. games will have a great rmpacl on UB by making rt the exclusive focus of State-wrde at1ention for the week. "The people of Western New York will also have the opportunity to witness the events firsthand - something that they've never witnessed before," said Abernettiy. The games themselves have changed in their briel , seven-year history. For instance. the first games in 1978 f!lalured an Open Divrsion and a Scholastic Division only. In t98t . a Masters Divrsron wa s added to enable older participants to compete against1helr peers. About nine events have beeh added to the Scholastic Division since th e first games in 1978 and three have been added to the Open Drvrsion. Though they've changed through the years. the games have survrved. In Iact. the event has been emulated by 21 other states, Abernethy noted. " Many people thought the whole I rdea of the games would fall through. but· rt didn't," he noted "We're yery proud of how well th e games have done. The games are very good for the people bf New York State " D The .Beginning is an End Events culminate a year of campus planning he begrnning of the Emp~re .

T he Slate has budgeted $600,000 for the University to use to offset direct costs of th e Empire State Games. Costs to the University will be kept low by utilizing volunteers, Wagner said. " The Empire State Games are costing the University o~ly the time and energy of !Jeople," he noted. "We .don't see any significant added cost to the University. Frankly, the people involved are very enthused." About 700 volunteers will offer their services throughout Western New York. with 200 of them to be located at UB. Volunteers will be used to staff a campus information booth system. assist at activity sites and help prqv•de leisure. recreatiOna l and educational activit1es lor the athletes. Dennis A. Black is serving as Empire State Games volunteer coordinator. Th1s is the first year that the games have been held outside Syracuse. Wagner said, with credit tor the change of venue belong1ng to the Chamber ot Commerce, which "on behalf of Western New York. made the proposal to the Governor." Western New York also Will host the !)vent next year betore the games return to · Syracuse in t 987 . The advantages to holding the games locally are two-told, Wagner said. F~rst . the games will bring large numtiers of people to the area and represent a tremendous economic boost for businesses throughout Western New York. About 200,000 people are expected to spend UniverSity coordinator. between $4 and $5 million from Aug. to 11. Secondly. the event will "showcase UB for 6.000 athletes, their parents and spectators, particularly because the C?mpus is new and lots of people haven't seen 11 yet." Wagner said. o Watch out for that sup! If your day at the games hl!S turned out to be a hot and sunny one, you'll need to protect yourself from possible heat exhaustion. Members of the Baird· Point Ambu lance Corps recommend drinking plenty of fluids and shading yourself from direct sunlight. If you feel nauseous or dizzy, get out of the sun immediately! o The Weather Nothing is certain, but the outlook is good N Louis J. Schmitt: assistant me; treating an injury, even the serious. until the ambulance arrives. The two ambulances used by the corps are also fully stocked with the most modern equipment. One ambulance is a brand new addition to the corps' equipment, picked up from the manufacturer only a few weeks ago. II was custom-made for th e Baird Point volunteers .. If a· medical problem needs attention from a physician, corps members will transport patients to the University Health Service office · · located in Porter Quadrangle ol the Ellicott Complex where doctors and nurses are on duty. If the JJniversity Health Service ~taff feels a problem is severe. ambulance volunteers are responsible for transporting patients to local hospitals.

Lightning •s the only thing that may •ntertere. In that case. outdoor events w111 be postponed and probably made up on Sunday, Aug. t t . Weather forecasters have ruled out the possibility of a llood. earthquake. or tornado imped1ng the games. but nothing is one hundred per cent reliable. "The only th~ng that's normal about weather IS its h1gh variability." commented Donald Wuerch. chief meteorologist for the National Weather Serv1ce at the Buffalo International . Airport. In other words, the only thing that is consistent about weather IS its Inconsistency Predicting weather conditions, according to Wuerch, is an iffy and nebulous proposition. For the week of the games. Wue;ch said, "It's generally a warm pan of the August month. Based on pas) records, precipitation during the period usually comes 1n the form of scattered showers and thun'derstorms at the rate of" ·one out of every three days. "Thi$ amounts to a probability of about 30 to 35 per cent of prec1pita- . lion every day. We also have a good deal of sunshine. It's safe to point out. too," Wuerch continued. " that the Butfalo area is air conditioned in the afternoons by the Great Lakes' sea breezes and that makes it cooler than surrounding areas away from the Great Lakes." The meteorologist said ihe average high for games week is 79 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low. 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The days consist of 59 per cent sunshine on average with an average wind of 9.9 miles per hour prevailing out of the southwest. he points out. · The record high temperature for the week is 95 degrees Fahrenheit. whiCh occurred on Aug. 9, 1914. On the other hanll. the record low for the period was a chilly 47 degrees Fahrenheit on Aug. 1, 1948. Generally, the weather conditions should be good for the games. The temperature will probably range between 60 and 80 degrees F.alt'enheit with a 30 to 35 per cent chance of·rain each day throughout the entire week of competition. One thing is certain about predicting weather: you can't predict the unpredictable. IJ • 1 �T-shirts?

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

The Faculty Senate Tenure and Privileges Committee has recommended in its report that faculty members who<lo not receive a salary from the University should not be included in the University's clinical practice plan. "' It is Faculty's contention that an i ndi~ vidual recruited to engage in research and education in a clinical settin$ should be provided the support amentties (space and personnel) by the School of Med1cine to discharge the responsibilities for which he/ she was hired," said the Committee on Privileges and Tenure in its report. "In addition, an individual should be entitled to the usual provisions of the policies of the Board of Trustees, namely, tenure, sabbatical leave, and a minimum guaranteed salary support. "A member of the clinical faculty working under these conditi~n~ may be expected to live up to the-pohc•es orthe -:- A Board ofT rustees and to devote most if not all of his / her time and energy to an academic career... The committee made four re co m~ mendat ions: • At the time of initial appointment, the responsibilities \ rights and privileges of a'faculty member should be discussed and recorded . An individual should not be appointed to an I!.J)qualified title unles~ there is at least a minimum salary for rank from State University. • Unless a faculty member receives at least a minimum salary for rank from State University, he{she will not be eligible for appointment to tenure. (Cu rrently , so me tenured faculty receive no salary.) • To the extent that certain faculty are not in the professio nal services negotiating unit , membership in a plan for regulation of clinical practice shall11ot be mandat ory unless · that faculty member receives at least a minimum salary for rank from State University. • The Faculty Council oft he School of Medicine i~ requested to re view appointments in the School ~f' Medicine With a"proviso that a minimum number of contact hours with students per year shall be required to maintain yearly appointmentm qualified rank. Those faculty not fulfilling the qualification shall be given adjunct status. au11hton told the Faculty Senate Execut1ve Committee that SUNY is financially obligated only to those clini· cal facult y members it pays directl y. However. geographical full-time faculty who are paid by a hospital come under the clinical practice plan. he said . (See Reporter, 4/ 25{85). t is expected that at the Full Senate Isented meeting, a resolution will be preby Claude Welch, chairman-<:lect, that would ask that the third and fourth recommendations of the roport be considered separately. It would also ask the administration and the Tenu/e and Privileges Committee to clarify matters presented in the report. Questions had been raised on whether or not the third recommendation is an em pll>yment issue better left o United . Umversit y Professio ns (UU P) and the Office of Employee Relations. Anot er ~ argument- was t·hal"fhe reporf lerr~m-e questions unanswered. such as whether. by definition, people employed by the State have to be part of bargaining units. Ross Markello, a professor of anesthesiology and a member of the Tenure and Privilege Committee, argued that those who are charged with the responsibility in the matter are also unclear on the point and that passage oft he committee's recommendations wo uld help resolve the · ambiguity. . The founh recommendation was questioned because it puts the Universit ywide Faculty Senate in the position of giving directions specifioally to the School of Medicine on a matter that so me arg~ed should be handled on a more "local" level. n other Faculty Senate business. the Ireport Executive Committcct, discussed a from the General Education Commiuee. ..

These areas have a good deal of overlap, Bunn pointed out. Having a cen tralized location along the Spine would give st udent s an opport unity to get good. overla pping advice. he said. The proposal is ..designed to improve the qualit y of student life," he said. "There's been a good deal of slippage between the academic advising system of the firs t two years and the faculty adviseme nt in the major program. We want to make it more integrated so there's a con tinuum for the stud ent. "Furthermore, there should be a continuum of different kinds of adviseme nt." Bunn said th e caseload could be lightened by appointing a few more adv isors. Also, more facu lt y involvement could be sought. A Bunn: he has a report for the faculty. Undergrad college Faculty are being asked .to stud y and comment on plans over the summer Arts and Sciences. The vice provost fo r undergraduate educati on would unite the two as pects of th e college. He or she would be the head of the college as well as head of its governing bod y and advisory committee, Bunn said. As vice provost, he or she would have University-wide responsibility for undergraduate education, while as head of the college, he or she would provide leadershi p to the constituency of the college. The vice provost is c)lair of the Administrative Council of the Arts and Sci- he administration of the proposed college is tied in to the college's twoT fold missfon: to direct a coherent lower divisio n program for all U B freshmen and so phomores and coherent upperdivision programs for all students in the ences Dean (ACAS), which would be the governing board of the college. ACAS is composed of the three Arts and Scienc~s deans: Arts and Letters\ Social Sciences and Natural Sciences and MathCJTl atics. The three: deans w.o uld co ntinu e to report individu a lly to th e provost , but through ACAS, they would coordinate budgetary and personnel actions that affect the college.

I have been encouraged to correct this information for fear that studCnts taking our elementary geology coursCs will be misled. Opposed to statements in the article, continental jce sheets take at least a few thousands of years to form; tens of thousands of years io remain as massive ice bOOies; and additional th ousand s of years to retreat, to say noihing of disappearing. The present extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a lingering re~nant of a larger ice bod y which covered the northern hemisphere and has existed fo r at least 1,000,000 years. or more. In addition , geological evidence has shown ttiat the Antarctic ice sheet has been in existence: for the past 3 to 5 million years. The formula· tion of time fram es from decades to hundred s of years for the formation , existence and final disappearance of an ice sheet is in error by many orders of magnitude.

The international affairs coordinator for SttideOt Association, a pos\ traditionally held by an international student, is being filled riext year by a white American male (Brian Hahn). (The first American to hold the post was a · black woman, Debbie Daniels , in 1983-84.) These art but two indications of how far UB students have come in bridging rhe gap between American cind international under&rads since Seyed Mirmiran, an Iranian stud en~ came up with the idea · of havi ng the predominantly American ethnic-interest clubs (U krainian, Polish, German ~ etc.) join the international stu. dent or:gailizations on SA's Internatio nal Affai-rs Council Thaf Council. in turn, . ,.., elects the coOrdinator. More than one student visiting the U.S. has complained of the "separateness" inherent in the foreign student situation as the major drawback of stud ying herel so the recent UB experience might be vieweO as one small step in· the direction of international undcrstan·ding. V. Bede Agocha, 22, a UBjunior from Nigeria,· the outgoiitg SA international affairs coordinator, hopes so. T One of the higli points of his year in the job, he says, was the fact that 1984-85 saw the Israelis and the Organization of Arab Students display a willingness to sit down and talk together ... in a productive manner." . The loneliness and isolation interna:.. tional students experience over breaks wheg they are rooted out of regular campus housing and herded into Red Jacket also commanded the attention of the International Affrurs Council this year. Special Tha:nlr.sgiving, Christmas, and New Yeats meals were arranged (and offered to thos~ Americans also not able to leave campus) and a CAC van was rushed into service to fill the transportation gap left by the Bluebird Bus vacation. There was also a symposium on prejudices ex perienced by international students. The year saw, too, expansion of the traditionaJ International Fiesta int o a three-da y weekend o f international ·eve nts, blending the socio-politica l (a mock UN Assembly on world hunger presided over by former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim), l he academic (symposia on such subjects as tec.hnology transfer and culture shock, one "of the perils ofjetting between nations to pursue educational programs), and the cultural (" Lingmnania.~ a language festival. and the annual dinner and talent show). A major undertaking. to be sure, and one that Agocha admits taught organize rs a major Jesso n for next year: so much in one weekend is too much! 9 successful were the year's activities that initial recommendations for SA funding for 1985-86 included the highest levels of appropriations ever for interna- . tiona! activities - S48,000 fort he funded clubs and $29,000 for the coordinator's budget. The 1984-85 appropriations were , $30,298 for ~3 funded clubs and $19,000 fo r the coordinator. S The increases, alas, fell victim .to the gene ral budget bludgeoning occasioned by the SA deficit. But at least the inten t was there, Mr. t.gocha smiles. Agocha ex plains that the international coordinator's duties are multi-faceted . First, he o r she does precisely what the title says; he coordinates the activit ies pf 30 recognized, au tonom ous clubs (each with a piece of the total club budget and each with its own agenda) a nd he/ she is in charge of the a nnual cross-<:ultural even ts which involve all the clubs. The clubs range in size from a top of perhaps a t housand or more for the Chmese Student Association to Ihose with abo ut 25 active members, Agocha notes. Some of the other larger groups include the Korean Student Association, the Organizatio n of Arab Students, and the Africa n SA. Mr. Agocha does n~ say so in describing his ro le, but the work obviously requires large measures of tact. dipl omacy. and statesmanship in order to JUggle an~ balance such a rich variety of interests extending from th e Middle East to the Mid West. Typical of the growing ethnic-interest clubs populated mai nl y by Americans is the Uk rain ian Club headed by Oskaria R. S towb un e n ko, a first ge ner a t ion Ukrai nian-American who is in terested and active in the entire range of international student concerns. Other Americans have much t o gain from participation in international activities and exposu re to foreign nati onals. Agocha stresses - particufarly th ose who can~ afford to o r do n't yet have any interest in traveling abroad . They are free to join any intern ational cl ubs which attracl them. As coord inator. Mr. Agocha a lso sat on the President's Cou ncil on Intern ati onal Programm ing, now an official committee of the Division of Stud ent Affairs. This panel also incl udes the GSA international coordinatQ.r a nd representatives oft he Intensive English Language Institute (lEU), Housing, the Office of International Educati on and Scholar Services, and the Stud ent Affairs programming office. Thei r function is to address issues that affect the University- ' wide academic communitv. Mary Brown. who represents Student Affairs on 1he panel, is, according to Agocha. pro bably the person on campus most accessible and helpful to foreign students. So famou s IS she for her help, he says, that it udents ofte n come here from abroad knowing only two words about UB: Mary Bro wn! the official go-between for . eing Americans and international stuB dents was a natural assignment fo r Bede V.

Inn Ova ti ve. Ea rth y. These are th e adjectives people usc most commonly when describing Tammy Ryan. Those who know Rya n can\ say enough posi· tive th ings about her, both as an actress C and a writer. The praise for her work is mounting. and dese r"'tdly so. · The 24-year-<Jid und ergrad who transferred from Queens College to UB's Depattment of Theatre and Dance th ree years ' ago has since proven -herself a serious talent. receiving acclai~ for performances in such productions as "Tro~ j an Wo men. '' Waiting for Lefty."' and most recently, "Getting Out." It is Ryan's skill as a playwright , however, th9t has dramatically come into its own. " Flyi ng Pigeons" and .. Connections," her first fully developell plays, have been greeted with nthusiasm by t he Buffalo com munity. University has given her two major hon s: The 1984 Samuel P.. Capen Award fo " P igCQAS," and the Outstanding Senior Ac · evement Awar<J for 'T)leatre th is yea r. Additionally, "Connectioitt' bro ught her an honorable mention from the Earth 's Daughte rs Playwrights Competition. " A yi ng Pigeons," Ryan's first dram3"tic effon. takes a non-tradi tional approach to th~ exploration of a fa ttierso n rdationship. It is a tense. masculine play that streiches beyond conventional story telling. Looking at Tammy R y~n. one must wonder where the harshne s of the play co mes from .

A 'Ryan that in order to dis tance ~ays herself from the work. he made the child a son in the play. Ryan adds that "the fa t her in 'Pigeons' is my father. except he's not as fatalistic as the man up on th e stage. My dad worked in a o n::,~ ruction compa ny. and I gues. his jo b kept him from trying some things that he would have liked to do.

It wasn\ until last semester that she reached her pinnacle performance in Marsha No rman 's "Getting Out. " Ryan acted o ut th e character Arlie, the tortured alter-ego of a woman attempting to live a normal life fo ll owing eight years in prison. " I saw a productio n of'Gett ing Out ' in Peonsylya nia and I knew I wanted to play Arlie," Ryan says. "She signifies everyt hing l,ve always wanted to experience as an act ress.

Meltzer enjoyed work with Senator Bradley rider bills that may or may no I have anything to do with lhe issue at hand . "lt"s hard to deal with because in lhe besl of all worlds it shouldn' happen. But it"s not a matter of should or shouldn,, it's the reality. The idea is lhen 10 make sure the provisions of the riders don 't derogate or gut the original inlent of the legislation. " Meltzer likened his experience as a legislative advisor to I hal of a filmmaker who finds the section of I he film he liked best on the cutting room floor. " Sometimes the things that you mosl care abbut in your sec1ion (of a bill) are left oul through I he process of polilical compromise .., In an attempt lo combal lhe "paral ysis" which frequenlly overtakes the Senate in its quest to satisfy the concerns and compl ai~ts ..9f its members, a blue ribbon panel was formed 10 study 1he feasibility of cenlralizing more of ils ·operations. But like everything else on Capitol Hill, Meltzer said, lhere"s a tradeoff here as well between an open, decentralized system that is prone to ine rtia as opposed to a more closed , cen1ralized but decisive operation. ' Two pieces of research have resulted from Meltzer's sabba1 ical in Washinglon. One is a paper he presenled·at I he lnlernatio nal Studies Association conference on I he General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (G ATT) which direc1ly drew from Bradley"s work with GAIT reform. The .second is a paper he wi ll deliver this summer at the Internation al Political Science Association conference in Paris on I he trade·preference bill for developing nations. Did " Potomac Fever" claim another victim? Not quite, Meltzer responds. " II gets intense in Washington and people bum oul qu ickly. The nice thing aboul coming back 10 academia is thOU I can slep back and see lhe bigger picture." o By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI cademics. whose work involves abstract principles, concepts and theones, often fail to make a comfortable transition to the more p!'agmatic world of the practitioner. Bu1 this presented no problem for UB Polilical Sci~ntist Ronald I. Meltzer, Ph.D., who spenl six months in 1984 on Capitol Hill. Meltzer, who specializes in international trade polU::y. was a congressional fellow in the office of Senator Bill Bradley (D., N.J .), a member oi the Senate Finance Committee and its sub-committee th at deals with international· trade. "It was a good fit ,"" reports Meltzer. Good for I he senator because he was able to capitalize on Meltzer's expertise in the area, and good for Meltzer because his ex perience on the Hill has give n him a better underslanding of the give·and-tal<e nature of polilics and public policy making and has enriched his leaching and research. e olher members of Bradley"s staff with legislative authority, Meltzer spent lo ng days attending committee; hearings, meefing with representatives of special interest groups, and fielding questions, concerns and complaints .from constituents. · His role was not to recommend what position the senator should take on proposed legislalion. per se. but rather 10 make Bradley aware of I he "spectrum of viewpoi nts" on an issue held by business, labor, consumer. gove rnmental and other groups. He also inforrried the sena~ lor aboullhe potenlial problems or questions surrounding a bill so he could address them in committee and have an impact on the reco mmended legislation. ""When yo u write or teach, you deal wilh concepts and frameworks of analysis. It was very enjoya ble for me to use .whal I knew and bring illo bear in very specific contexts," he relayed . While Meltzer believes that legislation should be constructed with the " maximum public in terest" in niind, the prob-lem, he ad mits, is defining j ust what the maximum public in terest is. It can mean 1wo enlirely differenl thi ngs 10 two differen! people or groups. For instance, labor may th ink that the maximum public interest is best served if lhe U.S. limits lhe number of Japanese . cars entering the co untry. That would save jobs, keep plants i n operation, and help maintain a growing economy, in the unions· view. Others may feel the maximum public interest is served byeliminat· ing import restrictions altogether since such restrictions su bstantially increase the cost of autos to consumers. The trick. says Meltzer, is to extract "a fine lhread of public policy" from the warp and woof of numerous and contrasting opinions. A During his six months in Washington, Meltzer worked on domes1ic content legislation, which was an attempt by the United Auto Workers Union to ensure lhal imported cars are produced with a certain amount of American content, whether th ose Ame rican parts be tires or fenders, etc.; reciprocily legislation that mandated I he U.S. get recipro.cal benefits when entering a trade agreement with anolher coun1ry. and lhe Uniled StatesIsraeli free trade agreemen t. In addilion. he also drew fro m his research on trade in developing nations and his experience as a National Association of Schools of Public Affairs (NASPA) Fellow in the Commerce Department 10 advise Bradley on a bill, up for renewal. lh.al would continue to provide slaiUiory authorily for granting trade preference to Third World countries.

Ill ust rat io n makes up a significant perce ntage of the vis ual images wh ic h contribute to the cultural environment , Howell notes. In print. film, and electronic imaging .... illustrators have a strong influence on the lives of most of us .~ That new program, in tum-, has enriched the department with lectures, workshops, and demonstrations by some . of the nation 's top working illustrators, including Mall Mah urin whose arresting works have graced the cover of Time and appeared in Mother Jones, among other na tional publ ication s. ti ha s also auracted large numbers of• students. Where once there was the option of o'nly one in troduct9ry course in illustration; now there are four courses, and just this Tuesday, the program was approved as a majo"r option m the department. Students report that the classes are .enjoyable, informative, rigoro and helpful, that they " benefit the w le department" in the sense that illus tion embraces drawin$, pain~n~, phot rap~ y~culp­ tu re - any artiStic concen uon. Children learn with the help of visual aids created by illustrato rs - in quality te xtbooks. or in th e co mics. The field , in fact , ex tends all the way back to cave paintin gs, ye t is,as modern as co mputer graphics. Illustrat ion is not so mething yo u come to cold .. however.

Howell herself is a profesSional illustrator (o ne recCn't work being an illustrated children's book, Colin 's Fantastic Video Adventure by Ken neth Oppel). A native of Syracuse, .Y., she holds an M.F.A. in gra phic communicati oo and painting, and a B. F.A .. in ill ustration from RIT. She has taught at the University of Vermont and worked as an an director and illustrator for a major prin ting firm. Howell received the Gold Award for illustration from the An Directors/ Commu nicators of Buffalo, and her work ap pears in the 1984 Prin t Regional Design Annu al as well as the 63rd ew York An Directors Annu al. She is one of a new breed of grap hic artists fret:<f by "express mail'' to live anywhere in the country and still do work in San Francisco. New York - wherever the illust rat ion action is. Another of the sa me breed is Philip Burke of Buffalo. a painter and caricaturist whose works have been featured in Vanity Fair. He is anot her of the professionals Howell has enlisted to present info rmation sessions for students: still othe rs whd have come to Bethune include Bob C unn ingham, winner of the prestigious Hamilton King Award (the highest award from one's peers in ill ustration) and papermaker Nancy Mulik. All these successful people, Howell notes, have taken time to interact serio usly wit h students, to share their work and thoughts, and to drive home Ihe message that success and hard work go hand-in-hand . Mahurin, Howell notes. enjoyed a special rapport with students , because he is so yo ung a nd co uld talk on their level. ..

Illustrators are open and receptive, a friendly and welcoming group . " There is lillie resent~en t of illustrator by illustrator, "and "the field is capa ble of a bsorbing any number of movements:· T perhaps is not as " rigid in t hat respect'" as .some ot her branches of th e an world .

Over one million adolescents an d teenagers in this cou ntry alon·e mu st take daily insu lin injections to help their bodtes do what they can not do on their own - convert food to ene rgy. But like diabetic adults, these teens must still pay close attention also to diet and exercise to pre\'ent blood sugar levels from climbing too high or dropping too low. The Iauer ~an lead to episodes of dizziness or faintmg while chronically high elevations can have a deleterious effect on she cardiovascular and nervous-systems. W level. however. is not all that ca~y. espc· cially for teenagers .whose lifestyle~ may not be conducive to moderation or healthful foods . Other factors, such as psychological stress. are also thought to e)evate blood suga r levels, making con-trol even harder. It's no wonderthat of all ·a ge groups, teenage d iabeti cs are more likely to experience metabolic control problems. Deborah L. Kraemer, a d octoral candid ate in UB's Psyc hology Department, has received a Sl4,000 grant from the We ndt Foundation to study what it is like, on a day·to-<lay basis, to be a teen ager with diabetes, and what types o stress these teens experience.

By PAULA DeMICHELE oes the Unil ed States need a nuclear weapons defense system? Approximately 50 people auended a tudenl debate last Thursday 10 hear opposing arguments as to the validi ty oft he nuclear weapons defense system known as the Slralegic Defense Initiati ve (SO l) or .. Star Wars ... The debale, sponsored by the undergraduate Student Association . and the Political Science Club. feaiUred David Chodrow, chairperson of US's Young College Republicans. and Kevin J ones. leader of the newly-formed Coalition lo Question the Strategic Defense lnitfative. Chodrol" defended the SO l: Jones assumed the anti-SO l stance. Very brieOy, SOl is a proposed weapons systems. These ·i lude long-range missi les. manned born rs a nd sub mawould be designed to ne ralizc Soviet nuclear warheads. Both the S. and the Soviet nlon have several offen · vc w'Capons sytems. These include lo g-range missiles. manned {)embers and submarines. SOl would focus on long-range lnt ercon l inental Ballistic Missiles (IC BM "s). ICBM ' are ground-based missiles which carry a designated number of nuclear warheads. D I would include an elaborate ground-and air-ba cd satellite system designed to do one of two things: Des1royeither1he ICBM missiles. ~or destroy the warheads they carry. whne they are in the outer atmosphere. SOl would also include devices to locate shon D and medium range missiles, bombers and submarines. ' Chodrow argued that t he U.S. should be prepared for a possible Soviet fi rst • strike. He believes the Soviets will ha ve this capabi lity by 1995. •. "The Soviet are spending billions on a full-scale defense program 10 gel people out oft heir ci ties in the event of a nuclear auack ." he said. " We have dismantled ours because we realizClthat a nuclear war cannot realistically be fought - why spend money on something th at cannot work? ... The Soviets. on the other hand . . obviously believe that nuclear war is winnable.·· • Citing a second reason for the building of an . SOl .sY,slem, Chodrow said the U.S. offen sive nucleartriad iS vulnerable to attack. That triati consists of minutem ~n missiles.(land based ICB M's), B-52 bombers, and submarines, which make up the core of th e U.S. nuclear arsenal. According to Chodrow. in the event of a fir 1 strike. ICBM"s, which are housed in silos, would be most vulnera ble. .. In a first strike scenario." he said , ··eight thousand ou t of 12 thousand Soviet warheads would be launched at our silos. The megaton power of a Soviet ICBM is grea ter than that of a U.S. ICBM. even though their direct-hit capability is not as accurate ... The third reason for the development of SOl. said Chodrow, is that the concept of Mutually Assu red Destruction (MAD) - the theory that the U.S. and the Soviets have an equal number of nuclear warheads with which to destroy each other ~ is .. immoral and insane.,; "The Pentagon repons that by 1995, we cannot be assured of an eq uilibrium in MAD,•• Chod'row repo n ed . •• Assuming a first launch, th e Sov1ets will be attacking our silos and our weapons. In a seco nd retaliatory strike against the Soviets, President Reagan will have no choice but to launch weapOns against their cities because of the assu mpt ion that all their weapons will be gone." , n countering Chodrow's argument, IdemSOl o pponen t Kevin Jones first anded thai his challenger "not subscribe to Star Wa rs without first saying how it will work." Reading from a recent bipartisan Congressional report , Jones sa1d that the prospect for an effecti ve SOl system is "so remote . .. that it sho uld not serve as national policy. The United States wants its peo ple to acce pt a nuclear weapons defense system without even telling them what it is. I can not accept that. -s""b a defense shield being proposed would have lobe 100 per cent effective," Jones eplphasized . "'Even if SOl· were 99.2 per cent effective, 80 Soviet bombs would still reach American cities ... Citing . what he fell were specific inadequacies in SD I. Jones said the system ··addresses nothing more th an the problem of Soviet ICBM"s. The Soviets also have cruise m1ssiles, bombers and subs ... Also •. nuclear weapons can be made small enough to fit into a briefcase. How are we sup posed to prevent them from being smuggled into the country? "One of th e biggest problems with SOl." Jones claimed. "is that it has 10,000 information codes which scientistS say would take more than 20 years to de-bug. We can't afford 10 play with the accuracy of such a system ... According lo Chodrow. the U.S. "would only need 90 space satellites to take care of Soviet missiles. Jones disagreed with this figure. however. " We would actually need 2400 satellites to begin to effectively neutralize Soviet weaponry." he said . "S tarrace."WarssaidwillJonescreate a new · arms ... Once we stan working on such a system. the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty will be broken. What is 10 slop the Syviels from pulling offensive weapons in space if we put defensive weapons in space?'. However. Chodrow said, a Strategic Defense Init iative is necessary for deterrence. " How can we expect the Soviets to honor any type of treaty when we cannot verify th eir weapons? They can re-targe1., their weapons systems at any time without us even knQwing about it. ·· Chodrow and Jones have vastly different views as to whether or not SDI could serve as a viable deterrent to a nuclear attack . Theirs has not been the first dispute over the subject. nor will it be the last. However. they did manage to agree on one point: uclear war cannot be won. and cannot be fought. 0 History teachers' progra·m will focus on global studies By JOYCE BUCH OWSKI eaching' the relevance of Confucian philosophy or Taoism to high schoolers who think of Boston as .. an eastern culture .. presents a challenge to even the best of ducators. There is an .. an .. to teaching what is now popularly referred to as '"global studies'' or non-western cultures. submits UB historian Laurence A. Schneider an an he hopes lo share with 25 Buffalo and suburban teachers this summer at a month-long History Teacher Institute. The first of its kind 10 be held at the University, the Institute is funded by a $42,000 gran t from the State Council for the Humanities. allowing it to offer a S 1,000 stipend to each teacher-participant. Schneider. an expen in Chinese history, notes th at many local teachers attended college at a time when American and European history took cen ter stage. Consequent~N . some have never had formal course work in non-western cultures. let alone training on how to effect ively teach about these cultures. But teach they must. According to a recent mandate of the Board of Regents. T nimh and tenth graders arc required to ta.ke global studies courses. This revision of the social studies curriculum was containe<f in rhe 1984 Regents Action Plan. To ensure that the Institute satisfies both in tellectu al and practical needs of area teachers, Schneider enlisted the suppon and advice of Samuel J .•Aiessi. Jr.. acting assistant su~rintendent in the Buffalo Public Schools; Raymond J . Fahey. J r .• director of Buffalo's social st ud ies programs. and Anne G. Reagan. chair oft he Social Stud ies Department at City Honors who also doubles as the Institute's teacher coordinator. The Institute's graduate credit-beari ng sessions - which begin July I - will feature morning lectures by' prominent scholars from UB. the University of Rochester. the Universit y of Pennsylvania. and the State University College at Brockport. Afternoons will be devoted 10 workshops where teachers will work in teams to translate the lecture material to model Jesson plans and classroom materials that will be shared. I Teachers will be assigned to one of five topic areas which they can explore in small group settings: religi on and ethical systems of East Asia; social history. including research on the family. education. and everyday activities; language, lite.rature and the arts; East-West contacts and connicts. and 19th-20th century continuity, change. and revolution. To facililatc the panicipan!s'work, UB is giving them free and open access to its Libraries and audio-vi.suaJ aids. hose who enjoy experiential learning will be happy to find thai field trips are part of the Institute's agenda. Panicipanls will be in1rod uced to lh"e East Asian collection at the Royal Ontario Museum and to the firs t-nae Chinese an ifacts collection al l he Buffalo Museum of Science. A special luncheon is also being arranged at a Chinese eatery, where teachers will -hear Chinese chefs discuss the nature of Chinese cuisine. its regional variations. and the social role of cooking and eating. Schneider hopes 10 establish a permanent resoorce center at UB to help local social studies teachers continue to grow in interest and knowledge of nonwestern nations. such as China. Japan, India. and th ose in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. He also hopes to publish T a directo ry of U B faculty willing to guest lecture in high school classes. and to whom local teachers could go fo r assistance if questions on lecture material should anse. · A major reason U B was selected as one of three universities to host an Institut e this year, Schneider advised. is that .. we have a wealth of expertise in non-western cultures and are located next to a large urban center whose teachers could have easy access to the campus.... The others selected are Colgate and the City University of New York Graduate Center. UB stands ready, willing and able 10 assist the Institute, says Schneider, who has received suppon all the way from his depanmen1 chair up 10 the office of the University president. In fact , President Steven B. Sample will officially express his suppon at a reception he is hosting for Institute participants at his home. Schneider sees the Regents directive to expand coverage of non-western cultures as a logical and positive move: "h's a myth 10 think that we can have a se nSe of what makes us the way we are unless we can understand others... 0 US should better utilize foreign students universities.·· Another impressio n of his is that in ternational students are often looked upon as an alien element who might take cenain good things away from American students or compete with them for potential jobs in the future. with research ex periences as a .. think foree.... foi- seminars. forums, or wo rkshops on important topics. • Sponso rship by stud.e m groups of mQre internatio nal activi ties parties. dinners. an shows. theatre to promote a better understand ing of world culture : hou suggests a number o f steps to special columns in student papers for .. foster a more active part icipation of internatio nal report s by fore ign students. foreign students in the education and cui• Publicati on of books which collect tural activities on campus and in the local well-written art icles by foreign st udents community .. in order to reach more o n such topics a " How 1View th e A merAmericans.

And , at least before Herbert's ' death, it i~ likely that sex ual relations were seldom, if ever, involved either, though we have no direct evidence for this. Indirect evidence indicates that Elsie treasu red close friend ships with men that _ did not involve sex. Though so me may find it inconceivable, it would have been entirely in character for Elsie to be capable of long, exciting - but quite platonic · trips with men... But Parsons'famil y was still protective of her reputation. Eldest son John, who aided in the search of the family hom e hat finally yielded a metal box co ntaining more than 3,000 letters which are the primary resource for the book. stipulated that Hare could not write arucles in advance of prod ucing a full-length biography. ·· Herbert., Elsie's second son, was clearly not happy with my book and if I . hadn) been a member of the family, would have vetoed it, I'm sure, ·• Hare commented. "Too, he was an old friend of my fa ther s· - they were classmates at Yale - and he felt he couldn) very well veto a project by the so n of an old friend, even though he didn) like it o ne bit." Elsie's youngest son, Mcil vai ne (Mac). was Hare'sstrongest supponer within the fami ly, but Hare still had to negotiate his way through touchy issues. For instance, Hare originally wrote an elaborate series of excerpts from a " racy" novel of Roben Herrick 's which supposedly describes his relationship with Elsie. This series was shortened, with ·no excerpts. in the final book . Hare believes John would have denied use of the paper> if Hare had even mentioned Herrick, but he died before the book was finished, leaving control of tht papers to his wife, who was more liberal minded . Hare was also thwarted in getting access to family photos now held by one of Parso n~· grandsons who is the president of Chase Manhattan Bank. " When I called him," Hare relates, "he was ve ry cranky about the whole thing. Said he had heard conflicting reports about my project and insisted that I sub· mu my manuscript to him before he would allow use of the photos. Well, I'd be damned if I'd submit my manuscript to a banker! " He had to settle for photos held by o!M_r~ily memb= ,.., "I felt Mead had it in for Elsie, that she might torpedo my book . . . ." "That's a very touchy subject." l)e ex plai ned. ··t had corres ponde nce with Mead before she died , to. see if she would give me any information about her relationshipjNith Elsie. I got word from her secretary that I should se nd my draft. I didn) - I thought it dangerou s to do so. I felt Mead had it in for Elsie. that she might torpedo my book with her own publications. I didn't want to mess wi th Jt. I wanted to avoid discipline gossip ... Uh-oh. Did Hare uncover evidence that these two prominent female anthropologists d id not get along? That "fema!s" jealousy reared its ugl y head? Unfortunately. yes, according to Hare. " In her works. Mead always talks as if the first prominent woman anthropologist was Ruth Benedict, when she knew perfectly well that wasn) true," Hare said . "I speculate th at Mead for va rious reason s resented Elsie. Elsie ne ver financially supponed Mead, as she did Benedict and other women anthropologists ... Hare found a letter Parsons wrote to Boas in which she said that Mead 's Coming of Age was a "potboiler. a popular book, not important," in Hare's words. "1 strongly suspect Mead got the clear impression Elsie didn't think too well of her." Hare co nt in ued. "Also. I th inlt Mead was jealous of Elsie. Mead had to scro unge to get pennies to take liefd trips. Elsie could do anything she pleased. I could understand if Mead- was jealous-r .

Hare speculated . At one time Parsons was his literary executor. While Mead. and presumably others. may have considered Parsons· advantages unfair. Hare says th ey in no way detratt from her accomplishments. "She had independent wealth and social position. but we can't attribute her productivi ty to that. She had to be extremely bright and hard working," he commented. "Boas clearly respected her abili ty. That 's pan of what interested me what was the constellation of co nd iti ns that made her possible?" . Hare describes his ponrayal of Parsons as having a .. 19th century flavor," in that it relies on personal correspondence and ..good old common sense" and d oes not delve int o psychoanalys is or a detailed account of the social milieu. "J hedislike psy.c hobiography intensely... said. "I regard these psychoa nalyt ic descriptions as co mp lete ly illegitimate. ··r tried to keep an informal spirit in the book.·: he continued . .. My object was to prese nt as clearly as possi ble-a personal ity, but didn't want to think of the concept of perso nalit y in a nar row se nse. I have a minimum of sc hola rly trappingS in th e book. I didn't want to give a detailed account of the mil ieu people developed in. The idea that this is needed to understa nd a pe rso n is not really valid. I th ink one ca n best understand a perso n's character in the old-fashioned way. with common se nse psychology. Get letters. reco rd s. etc., so chat the reader can co me away with an und erstanding of what makes this perso n tick ... Hare noted that his research on Parsons and her time relates to his own work in philosophy. One of~is main specialties is late 19th and early 20th century Am erican philosoplly. · " A lot of peopk in American intellec- tual· history overlapped with Elsie." he said . " My interest on philosophy jibes rather well with her · a nthropological interests. In that period. people didn't thinlt of the differences between di sciplines as sharply as they do today." Hare said he has received mix ed reactions to the book . Some people ha v~;: told him his portrayal of Parso ns is unfavorable. othe rs say it is not. One femin ist said it was sexist; another said she did not think it was. Oth ers ha e said he focused too much on Parsons' relationship with her husband, but Hare defends this because he feels it was integral to her life and professional work . Hare admits his is not the defini tive work on Elsie Clews Parsons. "The biography is del iberately selective," he said. " I had a lot of information I didn't use." Some of this includes Parsons' .. f~ci nating " correspondence with Alfred Kroeber, who wrote "charming letters which he illustrated himselr'( Ha re thinks their relationship could have been sex ual), C larence Day, and Mabel Dodge Luhan. He also found correspondence with Arthur Fawcett , the first black professio nal anth ropologist whose field trips Parso ns financed . .. Ha re believes a great deal of scholarly work remains untapped in these leue rs. With the permission of J ohn's widow. he turned over all the Parsons correspondence. including any co rrespondence he had during the co urse of his research for the book, to the America n Ph ilosophical Society in Philadelphia, where they are now accessi ble to ot her scholars. Hare's po rtrait of Parsons reveals that while she did have advantages that minimi zed many d ifficulties other female scientist of her time faced . the fact of her gender - a nd the added demands of wife and mother it added to her role as scientist. in spite of her obstinate refusal to yield to them - placed psychic burdens on her. Wh ile ~are 's surface portrait indicates that Parso ns did not suffer many of the slings and arrows of outrageous sexism that hit her. female colleagues, a more in-depth pict-ure may revea l that she. too. in spik: of wealth and privilege. was not immune. 0 Senate F10m page 3 of the co ~miuee.

For most of us, it means New Orleans, and we envision warm nights, walking down cobblestone streets sur- ~, rounded by peach- and cream -colored bu i ldings with wrought -i ron rail ings. Around us, jazz music wails from open-doorea cafes, and minstrels play on the street, their instrument cases open for passersby to leave coins in. Riverboats cru ise the great Mississippi in the sultry summer night. A But the !ruth of the matter is that no one really knows where Dixieland mus1c really began. According to Ted Howes. host of the " Dixieland " program on Lunch Hour Music, Fr~days at Ooon , " The rea son New Orleans is credited with fhe stan of th1s mus1c is because most of the famous players came ou t o f there - Louis Armstrong , King Oliver. and Buddy Boll. There were a lot of other cihes that had tazz at the same 11me:· Other cities known for theu brassy, upbeat 1au were Ch•cago. New York . and Kansas C1ty "The New Orleans style is a marchi ng style music," explams Howes. " II has a two-beat rhythm and not many solos The Chicago style has a four-beat rhythm, sou nds more like swmg , and features solos. It's easy to identlfy those two JUSt by listening." The development of Dixieland music 1S hard to trace. An evol ution and mergtng of musical styles 'p receded it. Some music historians believe 1!S roots are the work songs of Slaves in the South in the early 1800's. From 1870to 1900, ragtime, brass marching bartds. and minstrels were popular, and thelf rhythm is also-cited as an influence on 'Dixieland. " Some think that brass bands came out of the pa tnotism of the Cw1l War," Howes points our. " We do know that in the late 1800's, mus1c out of Kansas City and the South was fast approaching the st yle we commonly call Dixieland." The term Oix1e Music was applied at the turn of the century to wb;lt we refer 10 today as New Orlea ns Jau. Th~ change in name fro m Dixie to Jazz occur1ed in 191G- 15, when the Original D1x1eland Jau Band (the first band to make a record of jau) appeared. The ODJB was an all white band, like others found in New Orleans, and because -iixieland ,appeared In thei r n-ame, ~s more general meaning was forgot ten as it came to be appl ied to 'W h•te Jazz..

NPR was cited for reporter Gjelten's series, " Population Issues in Mexico: Family Planning and Rapid Urbanization," which aired in September 1984 on the criticallyacclaimed daily newsmagazine All Things Considered. The firSfr.part of the awardwinning program, produced by Patty Neigh mond and senior editor John McChesney, focused on Mexico's commitment to lowering the country's birth rate through education and birth control programs. Gjelten examined the Mexican government's attempts to resolve economic and social prob1ems caused by the snarp increase in population, and the implications of Mexico'S'work on population issues for other Third World countries. The second segment provided an in-depth view of rapid population growth in Mexico City, now the largest Third World urban center with 17 million people. It was highlighted by on-site interviews with Mexico 's government officials , urban planning and environmental experts, and city residents.

One teacher who taught in El Salvador for 25 years shares with listeners her i nsights about the adjustments Salvadoran Child ren must make in a more structmed educational env1ronment. During the program she says. " Children in rural areas don't have notebooks, pencils. furnitu(e, and sometimes chalk . In the countryside, teachers are not allowed to travel through war zones, so children go without classes." • Adds Taft - Morales , " Many schools are closed because of the Salvado'ran c ivil war and 1n some cases by the army. when soldiers come to recru it boys wh ile attendIng classes. But even when schools are opened , classes are overcrowded, and children of many ages and grades are crammed into one classroom.

His jazz-flavored scores for " Mr. Lucky" and the pop- ' ular " Peter Gunn" series brought a new sound to television and films . Although he has ollen been asso· elated with fine jazz players, sitting at two pianos with Marian McPartland was a new~ nd pleasant experience. The team improvises with easy empathy on Mancini favorites like "The Pink Panther," " Days of Wine and Roses," and " Baby Elephant Walk ."

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

A hotly debated one. however .. .. .J Eleven years ago, the New York State ursing Association ( YSNA) suggesteri that all regi tered nurses enter their profession with a bachelor of science degree. The state nursing organjzation also arranged that an .. associate" nurse (which would be com parable to today's licensed practical nurse) could begin employment with an associate's degree. That suggestion. which YS;o.!A hoped would be implemented by law by 1985, has been countered with criticism and complaints from many sources. The issue. here, is personal and political. The oft-quoted argument is that the diploma nurse. the one prepared with three years of hospital train ing_, has more skills. and is a better bed side nurse. It's also said that these R. . 's are more reali stic, because they are well aware of the everyday dealings of their work environment. The baccalaureate nurse, however, is credited with having more knowledge of theory. Also. the different schools do not want to give up their right to educate the registered nurse. As it stands now in ewYork State, a nursing student can sit for the licensing examination after having completed a two-year associate's degree program, a three-yea r diploma program, or a four-year bachelor's degree program. The American Nursing Association. which will meet this J uly in Kansas City ... is scheduled to address the 1985 proposal also. · I he primary re~son YSNA advocates the 1985 proposal. said Martha Kemsley. UB clinical assi tant professor of nursing. who was president of Dist rict #I YS . A in 1980{81, is to standardize nursing education.

R. ., Ph.D .. associate dean of graduate nurse educati on at UB. Nursing. predominantly a woman 's profession. ha!!o always been considered good tra ining for a wife and mother. \Vomcn could work a~ nurses before they married and after they rai!l>ed their children . But now. she ~aid . students view nursi ng as a career. "More than any ot her profcs~ ion." Castiglia said , .. nursing ch:arly rcflccl.!l> what 's happening to women in society." She said her !'l tudcnt s want more autono my. more ability to advance;. more money, and more respect. "Students I deal with want to ad vance themselves. but also their profes~ion. " Castiglia said. During the last 15 years, she said. there • has been a push to develop a theoretical bcise for nursing. Nurses rcali1.c that to develop theory, they must conduct research. And to conduct research. they must pursue: a higher degree. Since 1969. UB's chool of Nursing has been preparing to offer a doctor of nursing science degree. If all goes well. UB should be granted the right to do this in 1986. The first nurse known to have earned a doctoral degree did so in 1927, but her doctorate was in psychology and counseling. It wasn't until 1959 that a doctoral program was offered by nursing schools. By 1983 , there were 27 such programs. T NURSING: The question is: how much education? R.-N.'s to hold a baccalaureate degree until the year 2035. Kemsley said . Because of their numbers - there are over 1.6 million R.N .'s in the United States - nurses have a tremendous potential impact on health care. Kemsley said . ..

In 1873, there were three hospital schools. By 1900, there were 432. BGH's nursing school, which has been open for over 100 years. will close in 1986, unless a court decisio n interferes. The Buffalo News has published stories stating that the school· is closing because of financial'losses, but. some R. N.'s say it's also because of the trC::nd in nursing toward higher education. In Buffalo, only Sisters of Charity Hospital and Millard Fillmore Hospital will offer diploma programs. Many UB nursing professors e nte red nursing as diploma graduates them·~e lves.

Several UB nursing professo rs were trained by Buffalo's hospital schools. Patricia Burns. R.N., M.S., director of the adult nurse practitioner program and project directo r of a $435.451 grant from the ational Institute on Aging to research urina ry stress incontinence. was graduated from the now defunct E.J . Meyer Memo ria l Hospital School of Nursing. Donna Juenker. coordinator of the R.N. track and project director of liB's satellite nursing program. was graduated with her diploma in 1956 from S isters of Charity Hospital School of Nursing. She received her master's degree in nursing education in 1965 from Columbia University. Juenker, like her students, saw the need for more education. She said the R. .'s who are returning to UB classrooms for the B.S. are doing so because they want to move up into better jobs, obtain their graduate degrees or develop their skills and increase their knowledge. Marlene Werner, R.N., Ed.D. , who was coordinator of the R.N. track from 1980-84, said many of the older R.N.'s saw that the qualifications for their jobs had changed ove r the years and that they now need a bachelor's degree to give the best of nursing care. Some. who have -sons and daughters in college, felt they, too, should have the opportunity to receive more education. And others, Werner said, divorced and forced to consider finances, turned to th e B.S. to get a better-paying position. By JILL-MA RIE ANOIA he Association of Council Membe rs and College Trustees of the State Uni versity of New York (ACMCT) announced strong support for the findings of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University in a press conference here last Friday. ''This report describes SUNY. th e nafion's largest public university, as one whose potential is largely unfulfilled one unable to provide ew Yorkers with 'ttie sa me benefits which other states derive fcom their premier public universities, .. said Rose Scoriiers, president of ACMCT. Sconiers also announced the changi ng of the ACMCT acronym to ..

The State Unive rsity Board of Trustees · has proposed legislation to restructure SUNY as a public benefit corporation. According to Sco niers, ACT supports this legislation and is committed to working for its adoption by the Legislature and its ultimate approval by Governor Mario Cuom o. The associat ion's campaign includes distribution of buttons imprinted wi th " ACT on the future ofSUNY." Sconiers T pinn~ o_ne of rhe first of rhese bull o ns on SA Prestdent Bob Heary.

She emphasized that UB, a campus that was singled out in the commission's report as o ne with great unrealized potential, should take the lead in d iscussing the commission's findings and generating support for them. .. Loca l legislators feel we have a good chance for passing so me legislation but no one is willing to co.mmit themselves to the idea of a public benefit corporation they arc afraid of just what such an animal is ... Sconiers said.

Sconiers said. Sconiers stressed the need to get the legislation passed during the current legislative session which will end in June. She maintained that if the commission's findiQgs a re not acted upon immediately. the movement for a restructuring of SUNY will become a lost cause. "Take this campaign a priorit y item, .. she urged. ''Action must be taken now."' 0 as Wang donation underwrites new center sheetfeeder.

We Americans have a tro ng An Open Let.ter: a disturbing cut in Women's Studies __; DEAR PROVOST GREINER AND PRESIDENT SAMPLE, We the undersigned facult y at SUNY / Buf· falo arc disturbed by Acting Dean Henry Sussman's refusal to maintain a full-time faculty position in Third World Women's Studies. Especially at a time when Albany has not cut the University's budget. we feel strongly that the level of suppon for Women's Studies should not be red uced. Acting Dean Sussman's downgrad ing of the present full-time position to half-time disrupts the development of the Third World Women 's St udies component - a vital new dimension of research and teachin_g on Jhis campus. h directl y contradicts the University's publicly announced co mmitment to Affirmative Action and the recruitment of minoritiC:s in facult y and staff hiring. Finally, a part-time position weakens the entire Women's Studies program when it will be initiating a new B.A. In recent years we have been·encouraged by the University's decision to build a q uality Women's Studies program at the graduate a nd undergraduate levels whi ch will have a significa nt impact on the entire _ UniversitY. Women' Stud ies now offers a B.A.. a nd M.A. thrOugh American St udies. and awaits approval of the American Studies Ph.D. from Albany. Yet aU th is growth in Women 's Studies ~as been planned without the allocation of additional resourcts. Moreover, ne,;;t year one of the program 's senior facult y will be away supported by a NEH f.:ellows hip, and anot~er expects to take a sabbatical in the spring. Th'erefore the proposed downgrading of the Third World Women's Studies position comes at a·critiCal time. We are concerned that Women's Studies' loss of 50 per cent of - t heir regular (~cull) ·lhrea tens the- progr:un 's survi,•al. A full-time f<tcu lt ,, in Third World \VomCn's St\ldi~ is. not si mply needed to meet the teaching and research require· ments of a graduate and undergraduate progra m. A rh ird Wo rld Women's Studies professor also pla ys a very speciQc role within the program that can not be a bsorbed by existing facUlty. Th is person develops and coordinates the Third World Women's Sturl'ies com ponent. a se ries of courses on minori ty Women in the U. S. and women internationally. These courses have steady and strong enr-ollments a nd have earned our ca mpus national recognitio n as a pio neer in this new intellectual field . Having a Third World Women's Stud ies com· ponent ensures that we exami ne wome n and ge nder from the vanLage point of different racial and cultural groups. In addi· tion. si nce the re are so few mi nority wo men faculty on th is cam pus (perhaps five in all of Academic Affairs). this Third World Women's Stud ies professor makes an enorm ous co ntritiution to t'l~e University's goal or recru itment and rete.•tion of ma'nority student s. We know from our e,;;pe r ien c~ that having a professor from a minority group acts as a role model fo r min ority women students pursu ing intellectual achievement a nd actively contributes to their academic 'advise ment. She also devcl· ops and mainta ins ties between the Universit y' and thl" minority communities in Bu ffalo. We view this position a.~ in valua ble to Women's Studies and to l.be Uni ve rsit y as a whole:.. We ex pect that in a research universit)• such as o ur own. which is striving for excellence. that it wou ld be retai ned as a full-time position. During this year Chancellor Wh arto n. President Sample and members of the Pro vosl's Office have publicly stated their commitment to Affirmative Act ion and the rec ruitment a nd. retention of minority facu lty. staff and students. It is hard to und erstand how this policy is being impleme nted by t he decision not to fully ·repl ace this Third World Women's Studies facult y A campus community newspaper published each Thursday by the Division of Public • Aff•lrs, State Unlnrslly of New York at Buf- f•lo.

A fu ll-time positi on in Third· World Women 's St udies involves no new reso urces or lines. merely a conti nu ation of existin g support. The gap between stated ·u ni vCrsity policy and actio n fosters cynicism throughout the enti re University and increases frus trati on in o ur minority communities.

Tirnpane. former director of 1he National Institute of Education. was the keynote . speaker at President Steven T Sample's invitational conference on enhancing the professional natUre of teaching. Western New York school superintendents and secondary school pnncipals allended . ...There's nothing worse .than being ignored," Tim pane said. For the past 10 or 15 yeari;, education has suffered just that fate at the hands of state and federal governments - it just couldn't get on the public's agenda, he said . . While a variety of reports d a "whole shelf" full of books that have c e out in the pasttwo·year.; may have see ed !itt just-another round of criticism, the have had the salutary effe,91 of shifting the agenda and putting the focus on education, be noted. Opinion polls in this country reOeet the deehne in the popularity of education from 1974 io 1983, with the popularity. slipping every yeaF, Timpane said . about every state gave new money to education this year. amounting to S l 2 billion across the nation. he noted . . "For once. the Stars arc in the right position for us ... he said. " We'Ve garne red financial dividends from the repons ... Some have said that educators have only 18 months to take advantage of the popularity of the issue. Timpane. however. doesn't expect it to subside. "Th~ window of opportunity will not slam shut." The demographic a nd labor trends contributing to the recent renewed attenti~n are long-term. he master's degree preferred, to serve 150 clients a day, preparing five products a day. Typing, social work, a nd law enforcement skills arc needed . The job is 47 hours a week, with no lunch or coffee breaks. The pay starts at $12.000. with a potential ot $27,000 after only 14 year.;. What the mythical ad points out, he said, is that the teaching job has become more difficult. the constraints are becoming greater. and incentive is lacking. Women and minorities • have been allracted by other fields, meaning that ed ucation "" has lost its shehcred market "But we have made the job unattractive just when we need more and better teachers." ut during 1983-84, the slippage of that entire decade was regained. even B though nothing had changed in the schools. About 280 education commissions, almost six per state, have been set up in the past two years, he said . Almost all of the ..state oft he sta te" messages in the nation for 1984 mentioned education in the fir.;t page or even the first paragraph. .. 1 would have defied you1o find even a mention of education in them two years ago." Tim pane stated. All this attention is coming at an opport une time - at the end of a recessjp n. Money can again be given to educaliOn without having to rai se taxes. Just - MICHAEL TIMPANE noted . Because of the age ot teachers, many wiJI be reliring. A current s honage of math and science teachers may turn into a general teacher shonage. impane discussed the plight of the teacher today using a fictional want ad. The ad asked for a college graduate. T Phi Beta Kappa taps 70 he local Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has elected 70 undergraduate students to membership in Phi Beta Kappa this year.

Edu- e offered .. an array of policies for an array of problems." One is higher pay for teachers. The present situation is onr of low pay with a slow rate of increase. Only by leaving the. classroom for jobs in administration or elsewhere can teachers make more.. Timpane suggested a plan involvi ng both financial and professional incentives that allow teachers to expand their roles. Areas of specialization, such . as ''teacher-men tor, •• "master teacher •., .. teacher-researche r. "' or .. teacher- curriculum developer." can be added to · tCachers' options. This way. an individual wouldn 't have to stop being a teacher to pursue other goals or ..be more highly paid. Another idea ~s to improve pre-service and in-service training... It 's clearly an overlooked and necc ary reform," he said. There's also an emerging sq ueeze on principals and administrators. Timpane told his audience. ... ) regret to r:eport that you're already at risk ... he said . H Cutting back on administrators is far ' and away the most popular choice on the part of the public When it comes to savi ng money in sc hools. tie noted . Combined with trends such as the growing autonomy of the sc hool building and the burgeoning and expanding role of teachers. pressure is lik,ely to increase on local administrators. An-other trend is the new model of mana~ement that's emerging from the Amencan busi ness community. The topdown , self-co ntained manageme nt practices of 20 years ago arc disappearing in favor of deccntraliz.ed authority with calion has 10 compc le wi rh lhe Jabor more market at-large and has the additional di sadva ntage that teachers· salarias are well below th ose of other jobs where a college degree is required . ..

There's more opportunity to place the profession of education on new and higher footing than has been the case in the last 15 or 20 years." Timpane summ~~ 0 dele8aling.

Grants-i n-aid are "pursuant to Congress' broad discretion to spend for the general welfare and co mmon defense.··as stipulated by Article I. Section 8 of the Constitution, Alben reminded , but - he added - legal challenges are beco ming more numerous dUe to restrictive conditions set forth in grant programs. "As a consequence."

"and federal monies under them ~o n stitute about one-quarter ofthe annual ex penditures of both state and local governments." Notwithstanding d iscussion of less directive federal grants. such as revenue shari ng and block grants. most aid programs remain categorical. with narrowly defined undertakings and detailed conditions. It is th e proliferation of categorical grants si nce 1960. Albert observed, "that · has rendered them the principal instru- · ment of federal influence over social services and urban affairs." For many years. tbe UB law professor pointed out. inter-governmental grant relationships were "understood to ba administrative. cooperative , profes ~ sio nal. and donative ... "Consequently." he added, "federal judges declined.to intervene in grievances founded on grant programs. This aloof-. ness markedly changed with the advent of anti-poverty litigation in the late 60s, • when courts acknowledged that private beneficiaries of public welfare programs were ·entitled to relief against state ·and local laws and practices inconsistent with federal grant conditions.- L he resUlting judicial ilecisions, T " wh ile providing a novel and potent injunctive re medy." broadly uphold federal goals and co nditio ns, Albert pointed out .

Congress has further reduced the differe nce between grants and regu lations through the use of new grant-in-aid directives. For instance. he explained, states may be required to su pplement welfare payments in order to remain eligible for Medicaid grants. Similarly: he added, Congress has tied the availability of federally insured mortgages to state participation in flood control programs and has tied highway grants to state adoption of a federal minimum drinking age and to state enforcement of the federal 55 m.p.h. highway speed limit. ..

A s America prepares to observe the U.S. Constitution's bicentennial in 1987, two UB faculty members find themselves ·involved in a project design to serve as a lasting tribute to this natio 's blueprint for dt mocratic government. Richard E. Ellis, Ph.D .. a pro sor of Americao history. and Lee A. A rt, J .D .• A law professor, are among or more scholars, nationwide. invited to contribute mat<rial for what will be known as "The Encyclopedia of the American Constitution." The encyclopedia project is the brainchild of Leonard Levy, a Pulitzc:r Prizewinning historian. Levy, chairman of the History Department of Claremont Graduate School in California, is compiling the four-volume encyclopedia for publication in 1987 by MacMillan. Assisting Levy as editors are Kenneth L. Karst, University of California-School · of Law, and Dennis J . Mahoney of the Claremont Political Science Department. B ~s Ellis related in an interview that his contribution will consist of brief biographies of nine of the nation's earliest Supreme Court justices. including ·both ... important and Insignificant ... jurists. Albert. on the other hand. is delving into federal grants-in-aid as they affect cons!)tutional rights. Meanwhile. in an unrelated development. plans are in the mak.ing for a twoday conference in Buffalo. October 2526, on "Concepts of the Constitution: A Bicentennial Dialogue." U B is one of several sponsors. Ellis makes it clean hat he cherishes the U.S. Constitution as one of the greatest governing documents ever written. But he's equally convinced that the Constitution, as it approaches its 200th birthday, must be rev1sed in some areas to keep pace with 20th Century social changes. Since being submitted to the original 13 states for ratification in 1787, the Constitution has been amended 26 times. The first 10 amendments were attached to the document as America's Bill of Rights for the protection of iodividuals. The newest ratified ameodment, the 26th, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. It was ratified in 1971. A pending 27th amendment, adopted by Congress in 1972 as the Equal Rights Amendment, still lacks the apl;'roval by three-founhs of the ratification. · . While laud in& the Constitution for iu •central set of values," Ellis maintained that constitutional la.w lacks clarity in defining the powers of the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, hesuggested, "the courts tend ' to arrogate more and more power•ut~~ey take it upon themselves to "run tltiop," based on Supreme Court decisions.

He was · impeached in 1805, but never was convicted. · On the "insignificant" side of the coin: Duval is described by historian Ellis as a person suffering from deafness who "sat silently on the bench for 25 years with no impact."

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

In Europe and the United States, there are enormous surpluses of food Waldhe~m said: Some. but at eno'ugh, is sh1pped to th e developin 'countries. But State University of.N ewYork Too hot? Wait ~nother 1,000 years · By tO NIE OSWALD STOFKO f you think the Blizzard of 77 was bad (or '85, for that matter), just wait another one or two thousand years. We'redue for another ice age. Ice ages and a possible method of preventing them are interests of Michael Ram , associate professor of physics and astronomy at UB. He talked about them recently as part of a lecture series on physics in the '80s for high schoo l juniors and seniors sponsored by the Department of Physics and Astronomy. In an ice age, a_sheet of ice grows during a period of 10 or 20 years and remains in place for thousands of years. Then, in another relative ly quick period of a decade or two, the sheet disappears. Knowing that the eanh gets its heat from the sun, the question arises: what could turn the solar heat ing on and off so · quickly? Well, some argue th at a change in the orbit of the eanh could produce such an effect. But Ram rej ects that because it would take much longer th an 10 yea r~.fo r the earth's orbit to change. . Instead, he favors a theory by Sir Fred Hoyle. a famous astronomer and astrophysicist who was a distinguished lecturer at UB in 1969. This relatively unknown theory involves a subs1ance wi th the intriguing name of "diamond dust." . To get an idea of how this whole th ing works. picture a cloud chamber filled wi th water vapor in a laboratory. Ram said. If you shine a light into the chamber, the droplets are dark. If you cool the chamber below the freezing point of water. the droplets don' f reel.e because there is no dust in the chambe'r ar·ound which· ice pan.icles can form. he sai d . The droplets a re su percooled. Lower the tem perat ure all the way to lights up. he said. The crystals arc called "diamond dust'' because they reflect light so brilliantly. ow suppose a very th in layer of dia.mond dust formed in the upper atmosphere. Any sunlight shining o n the eanh would be reflected away from the eanh and the canh would cool. But how co uld such diamond dust be generated? I minus40.degr~c:s<:en t ig"!!)ea~p-\l>~~ lets suddenly freeze and the chamber iamond dust occurs naturaHy Over the poles, Ram noted. Other places don 't get cold enough because of latent heat from the formation of clouds. After water is evaporated from the oceans. it condenses and fo rms clouds. In condensatio n·, heat is given off, helping to warm the atmos)Jhtre. So to create diamond dust . evaporation from the oceans would have to be restricted. Hoyle has calculated that there · is enough heat in the ocean to keep evapOration going for ten years, Ram explained. " If yo u cou ld somehow produce a cooling of the ocean for 10 y~ars. there'd be no l'atent heal from cloud format ion in the upper atmosphere. and . just like that: diamond dust would form." Ram said . .. The idea is simple. Just coo~ the ocean. But hov.1 would nalUrc do that1" Dust that gets into the upper atnlOSphere rcflcci~ light and cools the earth and iu oceans. Volcanic eruptions produce dus t, bul not enough. Ram ~aid . According to Hoyle. it would takr an asteroid that b more than-1300 meten. (about (.000 feet) in diameter tQkick up enough dust. This is a reasonable explanation. Ram contends. Although it doesn't happen often. asteroi d ~ this size have. indeed, hit the earth.

As an example of how politics gets mixed up with hunger, he cited El~iopia . . A relief operation was already gomg .on when it was noticed that the government had reservations about the U and privat.e agencies, The...dispute was on how people should be fed . The government had wanted to move the people to the provinces where th e agricu lture was better, butt he people wanted to stay. Waldheim said .

From page 1 But once an ice age starts, how does' it end? With another asteroid. according to _) Hoyle. This time a metallic asteroid, not a rock asteroid. is needed . Again, the dust would be lofted up into the• atmosphere. But this met allic du st would tend to absorb heat from th e sun and reOect linle. The. atmosphere would heat up, melting the diamond dust. Radiation from th e sun could penetrate and stan heating the oceans. In about 10 years, the ice age would disappear. s there any brilliant idea for preventing an ice age? Looki ng at th e frequency of ice ages, we're due ro r another one in about 2,000 years. Ram poin ts out. Asteroids are dark bod ies that we can't see unt il they hit us , he said. So prevention of asteroid collisions is not et viable I ~ olution . The s olution proposed )>y Hoyle is to slowl y, over a period of abou t 1,000 years, heat up th e oceans. · The top 500 meters (abou t I ,650 fee t) of the oceans have enough heat for ten years of evaporation, Ram -said . Below that, the ocean is cold . If the cold water i brought up to .the surface. the sun could heat it. It would have to be d one slowly because cold surface water courd create havoc with the air cUrrents. he said. Hoyle has calculated that warming a radius of 2 kilometers (about IV. miles) a year, for a period .of I ,000 years, would give the oceans an extra 10-yearsuppl y of heat. This extra su pply of heat in the oceans wou ld allow evaporation to ·take place even when the sun is-blocked by the asteroid dust. Cloud formation would occur, giving off heat, warming the atmosphere, and preventing the formation of diamond dust. To bring the cold water to the surface using a pump powered by oil or electricity would not be pral:tical, especially since there's no rush - we've got 1,000 years. There are. however. machines that can operate on a difference in temperature: wh~.b.~ of cou~s.t, .2£i:urs in the ocean.

Ram said . · Hoyle has calculated that 50 million yea rs ago, there was a 30-year supply of heat in the ocean, Ram said, and that did not disturb the Antarctic ice sheet. So, if we created an extra 20-year suppl y of heat , the Arctic ice might di sa ppear, but it wouldn 't disturb the Antarctic. he said. am highlighted this icc age theory for the high school students because of its simplicity and be(!a use it's easy to understand . l;xplariatiOns of theories on other climate issues such as .. nuc lear winter" are punctuated by words like .. might be, " "could be" and "maybe." R In general, the scenarios pred ict th at fires following a nuclear explosion would send up a plume of sm~e of uniform th ick ness to cover the area from a bout 30 degrees onh latitude to 70 degrees North latitude. Ram said. It would block out the sun in that area. "But will this really happen th is way?" he questioned . " Is this the way the smoke wiU behave? Or will it be ·patchy? If it is patchy, the eanh will get some sunlight." Going back to the ice age theory, Ram pointed o ut that as t-he d ia mond dust blocks out the.sun. the eanh cools more rapidly than the oceans. The diffe rence in temperatures causes a great deal of turbulence and thunderstorms. Some people llrink th is kind of turbulence would work to drive away the smoke in the nuclear winter scenario, he said . He pointed o utthatthe Blizzard of 77 was caused basically by a warm patch of water off the coast of California. These are the kinds of details that are too small to be included in these scenarios, he said. Ram noted that someone stri~ing a match in a dry forest is a small thing, but it can have far-reaching consequences. Or, as Edward N. Lorenz, a meterologist from MIT once mused , is it possible that a butterfly Oappin~ its wings in Peru can cause a hurricaoe .m the Midwest? "None of these things arc simple," Ram summariz.ed. _ "! to his downfall. " Don't expect an immediate change. It will take at least a year before Gorbachev can establish himself as leader of the cOuntry." ·. The Geneva talks afe not an immediate solution to the arms control problems. Waldheim said. The opinions on each side are too fa~ apan. "The US ha decided to go with th e space i niti ~ tive. " Waldheim said . ..The Russia ns are scared . They want to use the talks to avoid the Star Wa rs idea bei ng implemented ." Waldheim said he talked to a scientist who told him that the system co uldn~ be ready fo r 20 or 30 years.

The big powers use their vetoes to para· Jyze actions, while smaller countries often use the · UN to their advantage-, then ignore its resolutions, he contends.

"We should co nt in ue to supp ort the U because there is no b'ettCr alterna0 tive," he advised. Trustees will dispose of holdings in certain companies operating in South Africa Under a new policy adopted Wednesday by the Board of Trustees, the State University of New York will move to dispose of its fmancial holdings in several firms doing business in South Africa that fail to meet acceptable standards of social conduct. At the same time; the Trustees urged the United States Governmen~ to consider imposing economic sanctions on South Africa or to take other actiOns that would clearly demonstrate this country's abhouence of apartheid. The new policy adopted by the Board requires that investments in only those companies receiving the highest ratings in complying with the MSullivan Principles~ be retained in the University's investment portfolio. Companies that do not achieve these ratings would be advised that SUNY intends to divest its holdings. The Sullivan Principles arc a set of gUidelines U.S. companies in South Africa are requested to voluntarily adopt to ensure that wage and employment prac.tices for their black employees are equal to that for white workers, regardless of the severe~trictures of apartheid that apply to that nation's black population as a whole. Signatories to the Princijlles arc evaluated each year on their performance by an independent finn. . MCompanies in compliance should be vigorously encouraged to contmue promotion of racial equality and to enhance coq>orate efforts to oppose all provisions of South African apartbeid policies,~ uid the policy statement reconunend.ed to the-Board by its Committee on Budget, Investment and Capital Program. · Non-signatories, and those firms that fail to show demonstrable progress, should not be continued in the portfolio after receiving due warning, according to the policy, which was adopted by the Board. A review of the University's investment portfolio discloses holdings in 17 U.S. fllltls in South Africa, worth approximately$ I 4,000,000. Under the Board's new policy, University officials s111d 4 companies, involving investments worth $3,100,000, apparently would not meet the new criteqa of progressive com. pliance with the Sullivan Principles. After appropriate notice, they said, SUNY would move to disinvest in the firms unless they have shown that the evaluauon of their cooduct was iti error. The Committee statement went on: Mlbe Committee reiterates the puamountimponance of prudence in making investment decisions. It nonetheless recognizes that investments in compantes doing business in South Africa raise ul)ique concerns becausc.of the substantial influence corporate activities in that country can·have on social co.nditions. The Commi~ee believes the University must act as a responsible investor ~~, .in all appropnate ways, demonstrate heightened concern for corporate actmnes as they affect social conditions in South Africa. -• Mlbe task before us was not to judge the South African government,~ the Trustees report concluded. Mlbat already bas been done emphatically by_ free peoples everywhere.

For every book sold, one dollar will be !liven to th e Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation. By PAULA DE MICHELE here can you get a feeling of warmth, of family, of history, and a lot of great rec1pes in one place? ¥ou11 find them all in Recipes Old And New, a personalized cookbook compiled by -members of U B's Purchasing DepanmenL The idea of producing a cookbook evolved over an extended period; it was a labor of love for department personnel, who have been friends for years_ Rec(pes editor Sandi Russo explained that the cookbook was a well thought-out idea whose ti me had come. "The women in this dep artment are all very close." she says. " We would go to W each other's birthday parties, shqwersthings like that, and everyOne would bring along her favori t ' ish. We'd ta lked about doing a cook boo for years. and now we\'e finally done it. The bob k itself is an eclecll comjiilatron of 198 old-fashioned delicac· s. from appe tiZ:ers and maj.A di shes to desserts and beverages. Russo articulates the pride she and her co-workers s hare in the book . "'\Ve're o bviously not in thecategcry of a Juli a Childs, "she says. "But I th ink th at what makes thi s book s pecial is the fact that we all know each other: the book represe nts an extension of ourselves. Th e recipes have been pas ed around among us for yea rs. and some of them are very old. We thoug ht it would be nice 10 share them with o thers.·· ecipes is not just a cookbook. a it R possesses a s pec ial charm. part of which is represented in the slightly offbeat way the · dishes have been nam~d .

" But we just couldn\ think of anything beuer 10 call it." Anolher unu sually dubbed recipe was passed along by Oklahoma native Vcrgie Oettin~er . It is the mysterious-Aunt Bill's Brown Candy" - I he mys<ery being jus< who Aunt Bill is. " I honestly d o n'! know," s he s hrugs. "My mother jus< always called it Aunl Bllrs Brown Cand y. and a s fa r as I kn o w, ~hat's what everyo ne in Oklahoma ca lls it.She went on to explain that the food editors of the Ladies Hom e Journal. who published the recipe in th is yea r's C hris<. mas issue, were al so at a loss to iden tify the elusive Aunt.

N 'Dry mouth' is the concern of a new clinical effort n some primitive co untries. th e person accused of a crime who exhibits a dry mouth duri.tg interrogation is declared guilty. While more civilized countries don't resort to this crude .. lie detector, "chronic dry mouth or xerostom ia is a common, annoying problem of the oral cavity, says Dr. Ahmed Uthman. · Professor of oral medicine. Dr. Uthman is co-director of the Salivary Dys' function Clinic which has Qpencd.at the School of Dental Medicine to aid diagnosis and treatment of dry mouth. Frequently associated with radiation of head and neck, dry mouth is also a symptom accompanying diabetes mellitus, aging, and an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren "s Disease. Dry mouth can also be an unpleasant side effect of medications used to treat cancer, high blood p~essure, allergies, and Parkinson 's I DtSCase,. "Saliva which is inadequate asacleansing agent because of its quality or quantity can lead to dental decay, gum inflammation. and gingivitis by altering the bacterial population of the mouth." says Dr. Uthman. Differential diagnosi s of the co ndition is especially important so treatment will address the underlying cause and not just the ~ymptom. Patients with dry mouth, no matter what the cause. are encouraged to sip on water or sugar-free, ca~bonated, decaffeinated beverages, and to suck sugarless mints, lemon rind, or cherry. pits . ..The sucki ng action can aid saliva production in those who have a less severecase."says Dr. Uthman. Patients are also instructed to brush theirtccth11t least twice daily , and to usc dental Ooss and a toothpaste containing Ouoridc. ReJ:ul ar visits to the dentist are encouraged . n artificial saliva may also be used by patients to alleviate dry mouth, say~ UB oral biologist Dr. Michael Levine. But. he notes. these products, purchased over-the-counter. are less than ·satisfactory. .. Since saliva's complex co mposi ti on has preven ted researchers from duplicat ing it in the laboratory, substitutes currently on the market hear little resemblance to the real thing," Dr. Levine points out. ~ The tdeal anificial saliva, he notes. should have a protective and cleansing ·function, be long-lasting and affordable, have a pleasant taste. and act locally in · the mouth. · . "There's at least one experimental drug develo~cd for other medical problems which lias the side effect ofinen:ased salivation," he adds.

Tin Han. who serves as associate chief cancer research clinician at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, recently discovered the new condition. He calls it benign monoclonal 8-cell lymphocytosis, or BMBL for sho n . His descri ption of the condition appeared in the July issue of Blood (Vol. 64, No. 1). Of all first diagnoses of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 25 per cent. or approximately 1,700 per year, are identified as having the early stage (Stage 0) of the usually lethal disease. Dr. Tin Han found that roughly half of such patients that he tested actually bad BMBL. This ... ,_, ,,- -~ 22 found in true leukemia , but do not possess any o ther signs of leukemia, such as counts . Physicians do not normally treat patients at this stage. While BMBLresembles the early stage of true CLL, Tin Han has identified certain tendencies associated with BMBL patients, besides the optimistic prognosis. one of the tested BMBLpatients bad abnormalities, while one third of Stage 0 CLL patients whose disease advanced to later stages did .

Serum immunoglobulin levels in BM BL patients were normal or slightly depressed in all but o ne patient (who had slightl y elevated levels).ln contrast, CLL patients tended-to have much lower levels of this su bstance. "To avoid giving a misleading diagnosis, doctors should order a cytogenetic stud y with all StageO ~atient s,"Tin Han states ... If the chromosomes are normal , chances are favorable the condition will have a ben ign course; if abnormalities are found, a poor prognosis and diagnosis of early stage CLL can be given."

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

Accordingly, Kalay is also examining the CAD ossue from the stand· point of geometric modeling, a mathem- atical specialty and the focus of his Ph.D. work at Carnegie-Mellon. He ex plains: ..This is an area in which we try to model real-world artifacts in the co mputer, thro ugh the use of mathemati- cal symbols.

V1evvpoints Academic novels Will no author. every portray profs as they really are? . B By PHILIP ritish and America noveTists have long been wrin g about professo;:s. Saul Bellow, Kingsley Amis. Mary Mcurthy, Vladimir Nabokov and many others have looked at homo academicus. usually wi)h a rather jaundiced eye. In the 1970s. Alison Lune. who teaches 6nglish at Cornell, wrote a series of novels about professors. including o ne rnre War Between the Tates) that was made into a rather unsuccessful motion pitlure. In general. academics have not come off well in these n O\~ ets. They are portrayed as bumblers. spending most of their time thinking non-academic th oughts or. heaven forbid, jumping into bed with students, coHeagues, or the spouses of colleagues. Administrators. when· they appear in fictional form. are similarly dopey and are frequently seen as Philistines as well as bunglers. One wonders why so many novelists have so many bad things -to say about the professoriate. Why are there more novels about professors than abou t plumbers, auto mechanics or corporate executives, although it way well be that advertising executives and corporate officers are catching up! At present, the best fiction about academics comes from the pen of Britis h novelist (and professor of modem English literature at the University of Birmingham in England) David Lodge. His books are amusing, extraordinarily well written, and catch the nuances of aspects of academic life, even if they are portrayed in caricature. Lodge's newest novel. Small Worlds. deals with the stratosphere of international academic conferences - an unlikely topic for a novel. Lodge peoples his conferences with every type of academic jet setter who ever existed , and probably a few who don't exist. Everyone is either lusting after the UNESCO Chair of Literary Criticism (which pays a huge sum for doing absolutely nothing) or after fellow academies of the oppo ite sex (or in a few cases the same -sex). The book startS out at a dreary litera ry conference at one of Britain's more unpleasant new provincial uni\'ersi ties. It ts populated by the usual academic zoo of conference goers - hOlie r-thantho u big name professo rs. sleC py provi ncial acad emics. a few attracti\'c fe m:t.le graduate students. a nd an array of oth ers. The main protagonists are there: Professor"Morris Zapp, a prototypical American jet-set academic from Euphoric State University (Berkeley). Dr. Philip Swallow, a self-effacing and not -too-productive British profes~or and Mr. Persse McGarrigle. a totally innocent young Irish lecturer who engages in a world-wide search for a beautiful American graduate student from conference to conference for the rest of the book . The other conferences are more classy - but similarly amusing. Morris Zapp is always giving papers on "the end of criticism'" and other topics. Philip Swallow goes on :r lecture tour in Turkey, where knowledge of English literature is rather limi ted but enthusiasm seems to be great. Our heroas. perhaps they should more appropriately be called anti-heroes. encoun ter virtually e~ery beast in the academic zoo while jetting around the world . avid Lodge ·s earlier. book about academics. Changin!f Places. features the same two protagonists, Morris Zapp and Philip Swallow. who are involved in an exchange professorship between Euphoric State. where Swallow lands in the midst of the student turbulence of the 1960s and the University of Rummidge in England, where Morris Zapp discovers a comatose English department and proceeds to be offered its headship. Both of our heroes have affairs with each other's wives during the course of their visi tin1 professorships. They also encounter a full array of the academic lunacy of both Britian and the United States. In both of these books. David Lodgt uses slightly_exaggerated aspects of academic life to paint very amusing portraits of academicsljn two coun tri es He plays no favorites - his comments are JUSt as biting about British university life as about American. English un iversities are portrayed as sleepy places where salaries arc low and no one does much of an ything. American highe r education. in contrast. is frenetic. direct ionic s. and the acad emi cs arc in volved in publishing o r perishing. Not only a rc these boo ks amusing. ni<:ely ·writtc.n. and richly nuanced . they also provide some insights into academic life on both sides ofllf'c.~ t lanti c. We can recognize all too many of the -characters we encounter regularly in our uni versities. Their characteristics are exaggerated , but that makes them all the more sill y. Unlike in man y academic novels. the students are not spared .

Confrontations with st ud ent radicals on both sides of the ·ocean ·are more abs urd than serious. In Britain the ' encounters are more civilized and involve s maller numbers. In America. mass demonstrations are the norm. Lodge·s typical British academic is so l~id-back and part of the system that virtually nothing seems to happen. There is little scholarship being done and Lodge ponrays the much praised .. tut orial .. system as nothing more than . a glorified bull-session. Somehow, Oxford and umbridge professors have more status. but do not seem to do much more. American professors seem to be a more productive lo t. but there i~ also a good deal of craziness in the American universities. Zapp is your jetsetting academic. writing a book a year and tossing off articles while o n airplane nights. There are also the usual sta~le of worried assistant profesSors trymg to get tenu're, and of, co urse. a good deal of wife-swapping, etc. For example. Morris Zapp's wife comes out of seclusion to write a feminist bestselling novel. divorce her husband. and join the .. movement." In contrast. Philip Swallow's British wife remains relatively faithful. N?yels _about profcsso~s have a long tradtlaon m Anglo-Amencan fictio n. These are two of th e best, at least in terms of providing a humorous account of Anglo-Ame rican academics. The contrast between Britain and the Unit· ed States adds to the attraction of the books and provides some interesting comparative perspectives. David Lodge is definitely a master of the genre. Hi' portraits are sti nging and his writing .. style amusing. Although the plots aT< slightly fantastic, even by the standard' of modern university life, one is pulled along by the constant humorous si tuations. Perhaps we sho uld reconcile our· selves that ·n o novelist will eve r port ra~ professors as we really are: hard work· mg. serious, sober individuals devoted to the schola rly life and research and totally uninvolved with academic polities or hanky-panky. We need to leave a realistic portrait to the researche rs of htgher education - the}. certainly, can be counted on to treat us as we deserve to be treated - with respect, honor and j ustice. Unfortunately, no one will read their work. 0 David Lodge, Small Worlds. New York: Mac millan. 1984. 339 pp. $15 95 David Lodge, Changing Places.

One is the 'long c:Onfiiu(ment of the infamo us Marquis de Sade to the lunatic asylu m of Charenton, where he staged plays. The other is Charlotte Corday's 1793 lcilling of French revolutionist Jean- Paul Marat. Maratl Sade is not historical drama. but rathe r, as o ne writer puts it, .. total theatre." It is "philosophically problemat ic, visually terrifying, it engages- the eye, the ear and the mond with every imaginable dramatic device, technique and stage picture, even including song and dance." The meeting of Sade and Marat is entirely imaginary. Writes Weiss: " What in terests me in bringing together Sade and Marat is the confli~ between individualism carried to ex treme le ngths and the idea of a political a nd social upheaval. Even Sade knew the Revolution to be necessary: his works are one si ngle attack on a corrupt ruling class. He flinched however from the violent methods of the progressives and, like the modern advocate of a third approach, fell between two stools .... Director Evan Parry says the set and lighting design of Gvozden M. Kopa ni will convey the se nse of a .. uni versal institutio nal environment." In many ways, the patients of Charenton arc "caged animals," subject to being paraded, circus-like, before curious visi tors to the asylum. During the late I 8th cen tu ry. Parry adds, .. insane people were considered animals. In fact , the play within a play in Mara/ I Sade is very representative of events that would take place at that time:· Coulmier, a character in Weiss' play_ and the actual director of the asylum. "was well known for inviting members of the beau monde to 'soirees· at Charenton." As for the play's political overtones, Parry ~ays that Weiss. a Marxist, ... is writing a play about revolution in which the patients clearly represent an oppressed cla:ss. And , to some extent, the play does advocate revolution ... Ye1 , emphasizes Parry, Weiss has also included another poi nt of view. that of the jaded Sade, a libertine and author of licentious novels. who lived fro m 1740 to 1814. Charged with numero us sexual offenses. he spent a total of27 yCarS of confinement in several institutions, including the Bastille, the dungeon at Vincennes, and at Charenton. The re- are hopeful notes in the play, including the umon of previously isolated individuals in raw a nd fre nz.ied community. -More importantly, "for every . character in the play, the re IS a journey of discovery,"says Parry. "This is especially true for the patients ... However, the pessimism of the play is pervasiVe, supporting Weiss· apparent co ntention that "'unless we are led by people of extremely high ideals. the revolution can go very bad , "'in Parry's word s. Marat, one of the ablest and yet most vilified of the Montagnard deputies. was such a figure, says the UB director. a o ensure that the audience docs not lose its concentration, Parry is including only a five-minu te break between the two acts. The set will literally cage the acto rs, and will mirror the horrible enclosure of 20th cen tury concen tration camps. along with some reference to Charenton as a n 18th cen tury locale. Parry hopes to foster the illusion that audiences are actually witnessi ng theatri cs directed by Sade, and not by him. The so ngs in Mara/ I Sade have been set to mu sic by William G,~nta for this producti on. His brother, Thomas Gonta of California, has com- . posed Muzak-like incidental music, in keeping wi th the stark instituli onal setung.

The interest of Charles Garverick, I Ph.D., psychologist in the School of . Dental Medicine, whose son Bryan was injured several years ago, led to the group's first meeting which attracted more than a dozen UB scientists. Represented in the group which met . March 19 were researchers from anatomical sciences; physiology; electrical and computer and industrial engineerin~; pharmacology and therapeutics; rehabilitation medicine; orthopaedic surgery, and physica l therapy and exercise science. Frank Mendel, Ph.D .; who chaired the meeting, says the group welcomes virtually anyone in the academic and industrial communities who has an in terest in fwtbering research in paralytic disorders - whatever the cause. "Few of us actually had had contact with each other prior to the meeting," he says, "but there's obviously a great deal of interest in exploring the possi bility of col- laborative research." · Prospective goals ol the group, says Mendel, an associate prOfessor of anatomical sciences, are to f.cilitate commun ication and resource sharing, and to serve as a forum for development of research ideas and informatio n on fu~d­ i ng sources. The researchers represent .a, wide variety of interests and expertise, Mendel points out. SOme are interested in biochemical, cell u lar or physiological aspects of the nervous system or its components; others are interested in develo pment of electrical or other devices or medications which would stimulate paru oft he nervous system; some may be more concerned with the psychological aspects of the paralyzed patient or therapeutic measures which could be used in treatment of various forms ciJ paralysis. "The list is endless of the-various and separate scientific interests which would be needed, for instance, to plan a largescale mult idisciplinary gra nt , .. says Mendel.

Fox, Willbern run in Boston Marathon John Fox. assistant for University Financial AnaJysis. and David Willbern. associate c:ssor of English. both ran in the Boston Marat hon. Monday. April 15. It was the first run in Boston for both but each had d ifTerrnt moth•atioll'for tntering the 2()..mile. 385-yard race. Fox had three goals: a realistic one based On past experience. a medium goal based on good performance. and a dream goal. The 60-dcgree weather forced him to revise his expectat io ns and ' after seven miles he reponed that ""all proj«ted goals ~rr right out the window.- The crowd s cheered him o n to a 3-hour/ 40-minute finishing time. For Fox. running th~ marathon was the culminat ion of a training program which h~ began in December; His self-designed fitness routine included three stages to build endurance. strength . and speed . Prior t O the marathon, Fo x ran 10..15 mi:es dail)' and 18·23 miles o nce a ·week. Willbern pan icipated in Monday's maratho n to " run through it not to race it ... He was not physically prepared to run the long d istance but he counted on the "'o v.rds to draw him tb the fin ish line. His desire ""'as simply to pan icipate in a big cit)' marathon; he was not concerned about his finishing time. Running is- more about long range timt for Willbern. " While in the race yo u try to run a good time but overall you 're running against the time you have left in your life.- he t~plained . For Willbern the intrigue in running stems fro m a fight with the inev!table; it allows him to attempt to fight the slowing of bodily functions that comes with aging. 0 Phi Beta Kappa asks awards nominations Omicron Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is seeking nominations for iu two annual prizes, each of which carries a cash award of $50.

Although it has had several outstanding individual competilors in the past. Kong feels this years club is ~J:tteras a whole. "Badminton is not as lime-consuming as olhersports; il doesn' connicl as much with school work," Kong said. He added that badminto-n enjoys a popularity in Southeasl Asia similar to that of basketball in the US. The sport is gaining popularity here, he assesses, but . has far to go.

Wh ile varsity teams are often in the news, thesr.. "other" teams would be grateful to be noticed at all. They're the club sports - teams sponsored by SA which are run as clubs with no coaching and no membership restrictions. And minimal fan and monetary Support. Several of these "unknowns." including the Ski, Rugby, Badminton and Lacrosse clubs, compete intercollegiately with success. This year, for example. Ski Club slalom racer Bjorn Olsen was ranked #I in slalom and #2 in the grand slalom and. slalom combined by the ational Collegiate .Ski . Association (NCS A); and the Rugby Club won the Upstate Rugby Union championship. Yet, as Rugby Club spokesman Matthew McCarthy puts it:" ot only do we · have to beat our opponents. we have to beat the system. We have no fans . no press cover.age and nO administrative · su pport." Why? Club sports lea rs fault th e system. T A funds all varsity. club and recreaiiona11!'thletics on campus. Any students who wish to form a team that doesn't alre~dy exist can organize and become a club sport, according to SA Athletic Affairs Director Ed Heim. SA allocates the less than princely sum of $5,000 for all club sports - a total currently d ivided II ways. "A men's team has to be a club for five years and a womcn 's team for wo, before they can petition for varsity status ... Heim said. The system -was set up fOr several reasons. It gives st udents the opportunity to organize and allows time to determine if there is interest to keep the sport active, Heim explained. It also provides an oppOrtumty fors,tudents to participate in a sport' without rigorous requirements for auendance or effort, he added. When a team has met the time requirements. its members may choose to petition for varsity status or can remain a club indefin itely. Gaining varsity status, however. is not as simple as asking. Both budgetary and Title IX considerations come into play. explained Larry Steele, sports information director. "Title IX mandates a balance between the number of women's and men's teams," Steele said . " We've had to drop some successfut programs such as fencing and women 's bowling and we've picked up women's softball, women's track and field , and women's socctr... All varsity sports are funded by the Athletic Department budget which is provided by SA. "We've been on a four-year set budget the Lacrosse Club, the Ski Club has higher ambitions. L"Weike looked into varsity status a few SPORTS S (Abo•e) Ski tum (1-r): John Wile, Bjom Olae.n, Kurt Stoe•er, Oa•e Spillman, Krla flullerburg. (Below) Rugby team In serum. with SA," Steele said. "Costs are rising and we're not in a position to add more varsity sports ... N onetheliss, teams like the Lacrosse Club continue to have varsity status as their goal. Steve Focardi, president of that club, says money is an important reason. . Last year the team's schedule was limited to six games - all it could afford. "This year we have $1000 from SA; that is n't much when you consider that it coSts $120 per referee for . home games." Focardi said. For that reason only five of this -yea r's 14 sched uled games will be played here. To supplement the budget provided by SA, team members have sold bumper stickers and ~ad one fund-raising party each semester at a local tavern. Focardi said. Another reason behind the club's desire for varsi ty recognition stems from membership considerations. ''Since we're a club anyone can join ... at last count we had 52 players!" Focardi said . Only 10 can play at one time. The cumbersome numbe rs combined with a years ago and were told th ere wasn't enough money," said Dave Enck, captain of the skiers. His club competes in the northern divisio n of the NCSA 's Mid-Eastern conference. Enck is not optimistic about additional SA support in the near future so he and club !JlCmbers are seeking sponsorship from local companies. "We're hoping to develop a good program ourselves," he noted. The team co mpleted its season in Febru ary; they placed fifth in regular season competiti on and fourth i11 regional comj!Etition. One member, Bjorn Olsen , qualIfied for th·e national compet:tion in Idaho on March 9 - the only one chosen in the Mid-East to go. · Olsen. a pative of Norway. is a firstyear graduate student in Management. He com peted in six slalom races this season. winning five . He earned a silver medal in the slalom and placed 22nd in the grand slalom at the nationals. As a resu'h of these records. he achieved his top national ranki ngs. , Olse n's achievement at the nationals came at his own expense. " SA said they would sponsor me. but th at didn 't go through before I had ' to leave." Olsen said. " I had to use money from my stu dent loan .... "I was probably the only one there who had to pay fo r himself," he said. Most of the competitors were on full scholarships. "I came to UB and I didn't expect to ski at all. so it 's not too bad ," Olsen said although he wouldn 't mind being reim bursed for the trip. Over.all. Enck notes. stud en t interest in the ski team has increased . •• ex t year we're going to do even better," he predicted. though the bad miOton team meets all the eligibility requirements. E it has no interest in varsity status. The ven reason is simple: badminton is not recognized as a collegiate sport. "There is a movement to establish collegiate teams; and it might happen next yea r, "said Kong Ming Chiang, president of the club. The Badminton Club has existed for at least 15 years, according to Kong. It currently has a $1200 budget. • See Sports, page 11 �PUBLIC RADIO FROM THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO "Alton Hall · State University of Now York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 (716) 831-2555 Non-Profit Org. u.s.

Produced by the FM88 News Department. the Report includes local, national and international news summaries, featu re reports. commentaries , and ttl at day's National Preas Club address. The program is meant to be complementary to All Things Consklered, and we are confident that if you have enjoyed ATC, you will appreciatethe4 P.M. Report. Now, for t he first time, this station will feature informational programming during the entire morn ing and afternoon " drive-time" periods . for your convenience .• John Hunt's Jazz 88 afternoon program now begins earlier, at 1 p.m .. so jau fans will no longer have to wait jlntil the afternoon is half over lor thei r jau. As noted above . the National Press Club broadcasts, prev iously aired sporadically at 1 p.m. now are an important part of the 4 P.M. Report. Ttte station has long had a series of popular specialty music programs: however, because of therr t prev ious broadcast at 1 p.m .. they w ere oft en preempted by the National Press Club addresses. We have heard complaints on the preempt ions from many listeners. Now, the programs will be featured as Lunch Hour Music, weekdays at noon ; i n the i r new timeslot , preempt ions will seldom occur and many listeners should find the noontime timing much more convenient . Please noteth8t a new program on dixieland mu sic . hosted by Ted Howes, is being added to the schedule on Fridays. FM88's midday news effort now begins earlier, at 11 a.m., as the 11 A.M. Report. The 11 A.M . Report now teatures a daily, expanded NPR news and business summary. with local and BBC news plus oth e ~ "i ngred ients" previously heard on Midday. The new 11 A.M. Report also includes such fare as Governor Mario Cuomo's weekly rad io program, the Amerte~~n Debate, Fresh Air, and dramatic presentations previously a part of the Soundstage drama series . We do hope that you will enjoy our new weekday schedule, and we would appreciate hearing your comments on it.

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

' yielded both tax breaks for the public and relatively good news for U B. The bottom line for the campus is that the University (and SUNY} fared somewhat better than it (and they) did in the proposed executive budget unveiled in January. UB, fo r mstance, received additional money for Medical School faculty. SUNY~ widc, a major restoratiOn in temporary service funding was included; more money was appropriated for research equipment; and additional fac ulty positions were provided for Engineering. Not everything. however, was rosy. On the debit side, the "tithe" which SUNY units with research programs must offer .. up to the Research FoundatiOn was increased to the figure originally projected by the Governor, and only a fraction of the hoped-for appropriation was made availa ble for the busi ness ~incubator" fecihty proposed for development adjacent to the campus. The new spehding plan was adopted following what veteran Albany-watchers described as one of the most hectic and ephemeral negotiati ng scssiont in recent memory .... One day you had an agreement for a million d oUa rs: the next ·day nobody remembered it," one s urce related . T · hat was finally pinned dow n, Edward W.

The omissi <II! of any additional funding for this purpose in the original Cuomo budget proposal was cited by UB observers last January as that documen t's major failing.

First, a number of full-time lines originally cut at four-year SUNY units which failed to meet enrollment quotas will be restored; t·he balance will then be applied to the temporary service cut, he indicated . We do know, Doty said, that the restorations will be enough to fully fund Millard Fillmore College and Summer Sessions programs (operated largely on Temp Service monies).

The group is a no t-for-profit o rganizat1on advocating shared custody and creative co-parenting after divorce. In co-parenting or joint custody, both p3.rents retain the responsibility a nd· authority for care an d control of the children. When .Doug was divo rced almost five years ago, he wanted to remain i'n active father to Lisa, now 6. But there were no programs on co-paren · ng, said SusanMa rie Carpente r. Doug wife and Lisa's stepmother. So Doug and Susan, who i sistallLtO th.e director of public affairs at B, went out and searc hed for the informal on they · ·/ • needed . They talked wit h family attorneys, psychologists, sociolo~ists, nuclear families, separated and divorced parents. and parents with and without custody. The more they talked with people, the more they saw a need for a program. They held a Life Workshop in October to share their information a nd 30 people from that workshop formed the nucle'Us of the group. "'The group was under de velop me~lt in our minds for a couple of years," Doug s~id..:- .. We saw a clear and present need for it. People were real glad we did . .. We've invested o ur time and some of our money - the group isn't paying for itself yet." · Doug said that he isn't advocating divorce. .. Divorce is not a pleasant experience for anyone," he understated . "But do you know that saying about what yo u should ....Jdo when life hands you lemons? For me personally, I'm making lemonade." M arent hood is Forever has four prinof co- parenting: P• ciples P3rents can not di vo rce. or be divorced from. their children. • Parenting can be removed from personal differences between spouses or ex-spouses. • Each parent is en titled to respect for his or her privacy and individual paren ting style. • Each paren t and child have the right to call themselves .. family.·· no matter how their time is shared or how their · family is structured . .. You have to separate ·family" from ·marriage' and 'parent' from 's pouse,' " Susan noted. The group tries to d.evelop a background for positive, progressive ways of dealing with custody. "A big part of our workshops focuses on 13nguage to get people tO not icC how many negatives sneak in there," Susan said. · There's a philosophy communicated by words, Doug sa1d , so they. choose words that put things in the most positive light. "I don't have an ex-wife," he stated. "My daughter has a mother." They don't talk about "marriages failing " but "marriages ending." There are~'t .. broken homes, .. just "'homes." Children don't "visit" parents,- but "live" with tfiem, even if it's only for one day. During workshops, concrete strategies are given to help divorced parents deal with one another, Susan saJd . If meetmg at home is too difficult, try a neutral(lace like a restaurant, she suggests. I you can't talk to your child's other parent in person; use the telephone .. If you can't talk long without getting 1nto a~ argument , limit your contact to 30 f!110Utes. . Lisa is conversant on ·the top1c of coparenting and explains it to all of her· friends , Susan said . "She's matter-of-fact about it," Doug said ... It doesn't bother her; this is her life." • Susan and Doug carpenter will! six-year- ut how does Lisa cope with being The next meet ing will be held May 14. B shuttled back and forth between her parents? ' 'Right away you assume she's shuttled. " 'Susan pointed out. That conjures up images of a waif in tattered garments clutching a tauered little suitcase or a paper bag full of clothes, she noted . .. That image is false, .. S1.,1san stated natly. . Every child adapts to changes in his or her routine all day long - first he's at home. then he's at school, then he might be off to gymnastics lessons or to a babysitter's house or Grandma's. Susan ex plained. In Lisa's case. it means that she spends the day in a kindergarten class for gifted students. Susan continued . During the beginning of t he week, she gets off the bus at her mother's house; Thursday. Friday and Saturday arc at her father's. .. Stability co mes from knowing what you can count on, .. Doug said. " No child should be put in the position to ask why o ne parent gave him or her up,'' Susan added . What about those cou4Jies who went their separate ways on less than cordial terms? .. Us ually, the reaction we get right away is 'it's impossible - I can't stand him, I hate his guts,'" Susan said . That's the initial reaction even ofthose who later are happy about sharing custody. ''Th1s is not a disclaimer. but an acknowledgement of reality," Doug said . "Sharing custody is no.tioreveryone. We are .. not · evangelists saying everybody should do it. "But if you want better than you've got, you can have better than you've got," he emphasized. That's one of the three recurring themes of co-parenting. nother theme is that it's possible to share without losing. A"You're not giving anything up by sharing," Doug said . "You're giving something. to your child. The input of each parent is very.unique. The third principle is simply that it doesn't have to be so hard. Parenthood is Forever holds meetings from 7to9 p.m. on the second Tuesday of 1he month an the community room oft he Sample Shop, 1631 Hertel Ave., Buffalo. old u.a. A support group meets every month and a speaker is featured every other mon th . In addition, Doug and Susa n have begun informal suppon meetings in members' homes where people ..ca n curl up on the couch, kick offtheirshoes. and · get 'hings off their chest," Susan said . Those meetings will be held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. The next is sc heduled for April 23. . Social activities include a famil y picnic scheduled for June 30. "The members get to know each other and they want to know each others' kid s." Susan said . It's also a way divorced parents can get togCth er without being very personal. Doug added . It 's a first step for divorced parents to be able to blend together. Several other projects are.on the draw- ing.boan:f. Susan wea rs a large pink button that says "'I'm Lisa's .stepmom and ·proud of it." She'd like to have personalized buttons made for others. Then there's t he 1986 Paren thood is Forever "make tim e" calendar. Each month would be marked with a different chaJJenge. for instattee, to improve yo ur language. Doug said. Another idea i~fflr a family tree board game that could bel>)aycd by traditional. di vorced, foster. or adoptive families. Doug said. . Doug and Susan count among their successes one couple wh o had been Jiving under a sole custody arrangement and decided to turn it into a shared custodv si tuat io n for the good of their dowghtcr. The parents arc pleased with the new arrangement. " If we stopped doing this today. l could rest easy. knowing that I made a difference in that little girl"s life." S usan said .

Thomas E. Headrick. dean of the law school. is chairman of the committee. One recom mendation made in the report is that a departm ent . not the . General Education Committee, should decide which of its cou~ses meet the criteria. Over the years. the committee has wrestled with seve ral criteria incJuding requi rements that a course must : • use methods of investigation and proof appropriate to the material. • relate subject matter to other fields of knowledge. • foster critical thinking ... and independent investigation. • encourage recognitioq of any moral or social problem ... and develop the capacity for informed choi~. While these criteria oUtliric noble aspirations, the committee fo und it impossible to apply them in any sensible way, the report stated. The committee members found that any course can be fit within them. Very f~w courses were in fact turned down on the basis of these criteria. The committee wants to shift responsibility for apP.Iying the criteria to the A departments "whosej udgmenl is far better informed on 1hese mattefs,"according to the repon. ..The committee believes that departments will exercise this responsibility with ca re and concern for the Program as a whole and not use it as a license to add cou rses for the eprollment that they might ge nerate or courses that do not meet the General Education objec1ives implici t in the former criteria." evcrsing a long-standing position of the committee is a new rule that · allows a General Education course to have a ·prerequisi te. In an effon to ensure that all General Education courses would be accessible to all students, the previous.,.-ule slated that no co.urse withm the program could have a prerequjsi te, unless the prerequisite was also a General Education course. Problems cropped up because departments wanted approval for introductory courses so upper level courses could then qualify, the reportexpl~ined . But some of the introductory course sections were so large that the writing requirement could not be implemented. Or, the sections were taught by teaching assistants. thus failing to qualify for Gen Ed credit.

And, in the gent le sport of fishing. she yie lded to no one when it came to snaring the prize small mouth black bass, year after year, at her summer retreat on Unit y Pond, Maine. By the rarest of combinations, she had two other qualities which seemed to transcend all these others- a sensi tive nature, quick in its insight in to the feelings of others. and an understanding heart, ready to reach out and deal with the p'roblems of others as though they were her own.

The influence of her years as registrar is hard to measure. Hu ndreds of yo ung men and women, who sought her advice and guidancey had their lives quickened by the gentle encou nte r with her fine, clear mind, encouraged by the warm , human q ualities of the woman who was never too occupied to listen to problems. and endlessly enriched by the experiences of her friend ship.

Dennis Mal one. chairman of the Senate. not ed th at the president will make the final deci)io n on th e issue. but he is interested in the opinion of the group. Lee Griffin . director of Public Safety. along with three of hi s officers. presented a slide sho w on the i~su e . Griffin repea tedl y stated he was n't suggesting that arm ing would affect the crime rate. It wo uld. however. he said. give the officers th e co nfide nce need ed to handle dange rous calls. In the early 1970s. the officers won the right to not respond to potentially dangerous calls because they're not armed. Griffin explained . When such a call is received. th e Amherst or Buffalo policeare called . It lakes time for those police to get to campus. They. frequently don) know their way around campus, Griffin said. It took 24 minutes for the Amherst Police to respond to last semester's homicide in Governors, he said, because they couldn) find' the building. · " We shouldn) pamper officers inJo not being confident because they're not armed," countered ewton Garver, pro. fessor of philosophy. Arming gives a "false and illusory" sense of well being. He said he deplo res the fact that guns are brought·illegally on campus, but to bring in more arms would simply ma.kc the situation more dangerou . William K. George. Jr .. professo r of engineering, noted that he has worked at other universities and the thing that impressed him most about U B's Public Safety officers is th eir non -<:o nfront atio nal attitude. "Why chan ge success?"' he questioned . Griffin replied that th e non-confro ntati o nal atmosphere is determined not by armi ng. but by the level of performance to which the officer is held. That wouldn't change. . George 5. ugge~ted that if man power is a problem. as Griffi n had indicated brlier. that problem should he addressed directly b) adding more people. A not her o pt ion would be to assemble a SWAT team of highly tra ined officers w~o could be called in on short not ice. George said. The problem with th at suggesti on. Griffin said , is that a n offteer never knows when. he will nc~d a gu n. If it were up to him. Griffin said . he would arm the patrol officers. the lieutenants and the investigators. Dispatchers. ·officers ~iving out traffic tickets, and those ghung presentations in the dorms would not be armed . Tony Conrad, assistant professor in the Center for Media Siudies. called Griffin's presentation ··emotional " and "'strident .. and questio ned the stati sti cs in it. One suggestion Conrad made· was to invi te the Amherst police in to get to know the campus. · Both the undergraduate and graduate student assemblies have voted against allowing Public Safety to be armed.

April 14 , at 8 p.m. a1 th e UB Center Thea1re Cabaret. 68 1 Main S1ree1 . Buffa lo. The show is both wrillen and perfo l1llt:d by Robinson . an undergraduate theatre major at UB. and will primarily feature severa l character sketcheS. both dram atic and co mic. "' People who know me know that I tend toward comedy," says Robinso n. ''I'd say most of the studies arc comic. all hough tht.[C arc some dramatic ones. While all arc tied in witb each' other in some way. there is no overall theme in all the segmen ts - they basically involve the audience getting to know these characters. •• Although Robinson plays all of the characters, each one is different from the o thers. They range from Charlene Lumis. a temporary secretary who talks - more than she types - to a rather demented strawberry shortcake doll who in turn gives children advice on what to do with unpermissive parents. Robinson says, howe ver. that his favorite character is Jimmy. a 14-ycar-old with 1hc mentality of an eight or nine-year old. ··1 developed Jimmy for one of my classes ... he remembers ... Hc·s probably my favorite because he's sincere and kind but if someone only passed him on the street, they'd assUme he was retarded and so not bother with him at all.·· Robinso n's attitude toward Jimm y poi nts o ut best' his message in lmimale Outpatiems. " I guess my message is that people aren't always what they seem to be.'' he says. "You have to take time and you'll rcali1c this with everybody. Instead of audience members going out on the street and meeting these people, I am ~aving ~hem the trouble by bringing the characters in to mccl them." Robinso n's upcom'ing show is pro bably the first one-man show to be put on by an undergraduate student in UB theatre. The 21-year-old se nior co nside rs himself luck y to get such a chance. "My main aspiration is to become a comic actor," he comments. " I am also fascinated with charact er work . I wanted here to create characters that ~rcn't in plays." Rob inso n has appeared on the !t1agc of the Cente r Theatre several tim es previously nnd has acted in several "S hakespeare m Delaware J>ark" productions. He is the directoi;, as well as a writer and a performer for. the UB comedy lroupc "Oral Hyjinx."

I didn' even know that Ankara had become the capita l after the revolution of 1923. I had ass umed that Istanbul was the seat of goverit- I ment. J even may have thought that there were two cities - Istanbul and Constantinople - on the Bos phorus, I didn' know that the Bosphorus. connecting the Black and Marmara Seas, divided Turkey into two land masses: one small, lying to the West. Thrace; the other. larger. to the East, Anatolia. l didn't know that this meeting place of West and East at the confluence of the Golden Hom. Bosphorus. and Marmara Sea represented one of the crucibles and crossroads of global history. 1 didn't know that Turkey was a Moslem country th at looked. by and large. to the West. rather than to Islam. for its cultural identity: that Ataturk ("father of the Turks-) was a figure ~ revered. among schoolchildren. as George Washi ngt on: or th at the hands on the ornate clocks in Dolmabache Palace (the last palace of th e Ottoman Sultans and Ataturk's residence in Istanbul} would stay fixed at the moment of his death in 1938. I didn 't know th at Ataturk. virtually single-ha nded. had banned the Fez. torn off the veil. substituted the Latin alphabet for Arabic. and catapulted Turkey into 1he modern world after driving the Greeks into the sea at Smyrna (now lzmir). I had trace memories about the Young Turks. and I had heard of "'(urkish Delight," but probably assumed it was a close encountCr of a perverse sex ual nature. So. I was tgnorant. and, in some sense. open to new arrangements of time and space. history and geography. · With a received faith in the "broadening values" of travel and beneficial effects of differen ce, with few preco nceptions. man y a pprehensions. too much luggage and less cool. I left Buffalo in September, 1983. I won't recite here my somewhat Thurbcr-likc journey to Ankara, except to say that I discOvered in Paris. racing to make the connection for Istanbul, that the Turkish Airlines co unt er had been blown up by Armenian terro ri sts a month before. and that it was now moved every day . ..

Yq.u. never know where and when you will see life and yourself somewhat diffe rently. I soon discovered that Turkey was part of the same ancient Aegean world that had nurtu red the now better known .. classical'' Greeks (a so re point for contemporary Turks). Troy and Ephesus, to name two of a hundred major si tes, lay on Turkish soil; Herodours was born in Bodrum (then Halicarnassus). an Aegean coastal resort now called -Bed-room" by the Turkish jet-setters and disco set. Turkey was _so old t~at its Byzanti ne capitol , Constantinople, had been sacked by Turkish invaders in 1453, half a century before the discovery of America by European voyage rs. This was old . older th an my Russian grandfather. so I prepared myself imaginatively for teaching in a hoary university like Oxford or Coimbra. I wondered if I would teach in a robe \ pe rhaps one with feathers or fur. and stroll across tiled courtyards with yo ung scholar~ who would , glancing at gilt-edged. illuminated books. ask wise questions. I was looking. after all. for tradition. civili7_ation. the Jamesian sense of accrued tim e. memorable place. I learned on rily fir t day in the Faculty of Language. History. and Geography. Dil Tarih Cografya (our Arts and Le tters. more or less) that my Faculty had been organized and buill in the 1930's. I was as o ld as the Faculty. When l told a colleague that my undergraduate alma mater had been founded in 182 1 and that I had earned another degree from a universit y established in 1754. he asked ,'"What is it like to go to ve nerable instituti ons?" I was speechless; l had come after all as a rep resentative of the New World, loqking for antique ways. Byzantine desi~n . and glimpses of Allie Aegean architecture. I felt this doubleness throughout my teaching experience in Turkey.·! represented an older society, with respect to the organization of higher ed.ucation, the checks and balances of liberal democracy, and the application of science and technology to everyd ay living. Colleagues would often say. if l were critical of sta tic bureaucracy, imperious treatment of stude nts; obsolete Caliphatic pallerns of hierarchy separating junior fro m se nio r faculty, "Give us time. you've been doing this kind of thing longer than we have." Everyone ass umed , nonetheless, that I expected to have the latest .state of th e art technologies as an aid to teaching: video and audi o tapes. electric typewri ter, xe rox machine, personal compute'r, etc. Students. always selfeffacing in Turkey, apologized for the lack of heat in the building, poor lighting, scored blackboard . soot-filled air that wafted in from the railroad track s outside our classroom window.

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

But, accprding to a recent report from the Office of Institutional Studies (O IS), these gains have not come exclusively a t the expense of the arts and sciences. although percentages of students interested in many of th ose fields have ebbed. It's the health professions that have suffered (percentage-wise) the greatest loss in interest, Jeffrey E. Dutton. OIS director pointed out. Indi viduals with intended majors in health fields have plummeted from 20.2 per cent of all accepted UB applicants in 1979 to just 8,9 in 1984. The percen tages of those interested in fine and applied arts declined from 2.8 per cent of accepted freshmen in 1979 to 1.9 per cent in 1984, but those in tendin g to major in letters increased minutely ·- B efforts in these fields .

Engineering is currentl y the field in which U B's accepted applicants most exceed national and state norms among college-bound high school seniors. Last yea r, 26.6 of those accepted here ind icated Engineering as their major choice; amo ng all ew York State college-bound se niors, however. th e figure was o nly 10.6 ph cent. .

Jeremy Blachman, academic affairs director of the undergraduate Student Association, and a graduate representative , Manjeet Singh, the Graduate Student Association's international student coordinator. specific measures to take. The plan was suggested by Dr. Donald W. Renn ie, vice provost for graduate and professional education. Provost Will iam Greiner said the plan seems to be appropriate and has sent it to the deans. He noted that detailed procedures still have to be worked out. Essentially, the plan embodies implementation of three resolut ions passed at a recent meeting oft he Executive Commitlee of the Graduate School: · • Beginning with the fall 1985 semester, all entering non-native speakers who are to be assigned teaching. graduate or research assistantships are. required to take the Spoken Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK Test). The Intensive English Language Institute "!ill adminiSter the test. • The lEU will surve)' peer institutions to find out what thear requiremen ts are. • The UniversitY should determ ine how many current rlon-English speaking graduate student assistants with instructional duties have not met the English language requirements (a Test of English as a Foreign Language{TOEFL] score of 550 and a SPEAK score of 250). The provost should charge the vice provost · for graduate and professional education with developing appropriate and effective procedures to monitor eich department's compliance with the-requirements. A Language Policy Action Committee is to be established to propose specific procedures and any changes in requ ireme.nts or in remedial programs that might be necessary. It would be chaired by Rennie. Members are to include Dr. James Bunn, vice provost for Undergrad uate Educatio n; a dean , probabl y John Ho, ·- interim- dea~f ~atural Sciences and unnett of I Ell said he is pleased with the plan . He has already D started to poll peer institutions. "Everybody is grappling with the same problem." he found . ' Some use the SPEAK Test, he said. Others use the Test of Spoken English (TSE) which is given in the student 's home country. However, the Iauer costs $40 and Dunnett feels it would be a burden to the international TA 's. Still other institutions use videotaped interviews which are reviewed by a panel of judges, Dunnett said. The University of Maryland, which serves as kind of a model in Dunnett 's view, requires all of its graduate stude nts to come two weeks early for testing and a training session. Those deficient in English skills aren't allowed to teach the first semester. but are given a I0-hour per week course in communication and teaching. "Nine;y-nine per cent go on to teach in the spring with no difficulty.'' Dunnett said . The University of Maryland reports it now bas students with higher TOEFL scores coming in and is getting a better student overall, Dunnett said. None of the institutions he polled reported any drop in enrollment when requirements were tightened, he said. Once the students are tested, it's important to have a sufficient remedial program in place for them, he said. .. We've received some assurances froi:n the provost that he would provide the necessary resources for an effective program," Dunnett said. He added that the T A shouldn \be chatged fort he testing or program. · Dunnett would like to revamp the cu rrent ~nglis h program for· international ~ains TA's . . .. We never had the resources in the past," he said. "We knew that what we were doing wasn't enough, but we co uldn \ do more." He added that he hopes to get input from the departments in working out a new program. On testin~ . Dunnett said he would like to co nduct Interviews in addition to the SPEAK Tests. Proficiency ratings would be given after the intervaew, then compared with the SPEAK results to see how the two sco res correlate. On the recom mendation · regarding· surveying the departments for stud ents' TOEFL scores, Dunnett pointed ou t that it is not to be a punitive measure. It'sjust a m~ans to collect missi ng data. Knowing how many TA 's there are who have not met the requirements will help in scheduling for next year, he said . Iachman of the undergraduate Student Association said the plan is B good , but he has concerns about how quickly th e committ~ can act. By May. Blachman would like to see definite. conc rete criteria se t up on S P EAK and TOEFL requirement s. His goal is to bar in ternati onal TA's from teach ing until they meet whatever proficiency requirements are finally set up. "I won\ be happy until there's not bne TA, RA or GA an a reci tati on or lab or lecture section who hasn't met the requirements ... Blachman said . The IELI should be given money to monitor these teaching assistants. he said . In addition. he urged that TA ·s not be required to payforthe remedial course themselves. Tightening ofTOEFL waivers must be accomplished also. he added . .' The graduate school has to get over its attitude that stiffer ""JUirements will decrease its pool of applica nts. Blachman added. If UB is competing with other major research institut ions for tecruits, tbose recruits must be capable of meeting the stiff requirements of t he other institutions, he suggested . • Undergraduate ~ have suffered for some time beca use requirements were too support lax, he con tended . If he has to get more doc umentation of the problem, he will, Blach man said. But more data are not nCeded , he asserted. .. It 's time for actio n, not discu ssion,"' he argued . ingh of the Graduate Student Associati on said the plan is good for undergraduates as well as T A's. The first step now is to gather acccurate data , Singh said. · Decisions on who would have to take a remedial course and what criteria would be used would be made next year, he indicated. "The departments should be involved," he said . "That's whe re the problem will be solved . The department should • be accountable for the TA and provide information. The departments should make sure the international TA is qualified, but not put the international TA 'sin a bind ." Singh said he will talk to students in the lEU's remedial classes and attend some classes to see how they're co nducted. At a recent meeting of the Graduate School Executi.ve Co mmittee, Dunneu ·played tapes demonstrating SPEAK Tests. He played examples of those who did poorly and th ose who did well on the test, Singh said. "Maybe he should have played tapes of average ones. " ingh suggested. Singh is interested in those who scored in the 200 to 250 range because those are the ones: he asserts, who can have instructio nal duties and take a remedial CO urse at the same time. Si ngh ment ioned that a couple of suggestions were made at a meeting last week of international club officers. One comment was that TA 's required to talce a remedial course should be ready to teach by the end of the course. ort\te course is of no uSe. Another suggestion was that, rather than take a spoken test administered by the l EU, the test should be sent back to the Educatio nal Testing Service in New • • Jersey for grading. ·· But the th ree recomme ndations arc pretty good,"Singh concluded . "I think it will solve Lhe problem in the future." 0 S �March 28, 1985 16, No. 24 ~olume These complicated dlrecllons (counlerclockwlae fro_m right of page) 'explain ' lha way to clau In Room C- 127A. lecterns with remote controls for audiovisual equipment and lights should be installed by the end of this semester. "We're doing exactly what the students recommended," Danford indicated. He got quick action on that recommendation because, in addition to his role as assistant vice president of university services. he is head of the Quality of Instructional Space Task Force. He functioned as the class's client. passing along Information to the task force. The task force is considering the students' other recommendations. along with information from still other sources. and will have a report by the end of April, Danford said.

The class has already put in about 9.000 man-hours on it. Danford said . ''That's more than any task force could put in." he noted. They've gotten more mileage out of those hours. too. because pow they've got the experience of one project under their bells and are more productive. The current project aims to see how services affect students coming to - or leaving - UB and how to make the University more attractive, he explained. Subjects include housing. social life, athletics and scheduling. The proje<t inclu3es an update of the master plan. The students may even recommend organizational changes in · D ser·based design is something we teach a lot of in this University, but it doesn't happen in fact" as far as Univer~ity construction is concerned. remarked Scott Danford . assistant vice president for university services. \Vhen it comes to selecting a hitectural firms to design buildings he the criteria do not include asking desig s · whether they think architecture should giant sculptJJre or whether user-based -~:i~~n is amporta.nt to ~hem_,_.....Danford When the user is forgotten. problems can result . For instance, there are classrooms on the Amherst Campus where the sight lines are such that students can't see the blackboard from certain parts of the room : In other instance,,..:the cause of a problem may not be the room itself, but the mis-seating of a certain class in that room . For example, round rooms such as the Kiva in Baldy may be used for large · classes because they hold many people. but the instr·uctorstands in the center and always has his back to someone. These rooms also pose problems for the.instructor who has to write on the blackboard (although one instructor who found him self in that predicament claims he was offered a round blackboard). elutions to 1hese problems may be on the w..ay. An Environmental Design 450· class recently put user-based design theory into practice here. Last semester, the 37 student> looked at the quality of instructional space on the Amherst and Main St. campuses. Under the direction of Dr. Marilyn Reeves, assistant professor in environmental design and planning, the group asked about 2,000 other students, faculty and staff what problems they had encountered because of design. They visited 77 commonly used classrooms, lecture halls, and other instructional spaces, spending about 7,000 to 8,000 man-hours on the project. Danford said. The student s tried to look at a broad scope of needs, Reeves said. While many different campus offices handle pans of the problem, nobody had ever before looked at the big picture. ""For the first time. there was manpower enough to complete an analysis of instruclional space .... Reeves pointed out. The project was divided into several parts: small classrooms, large classrooms. and lecture halls on each campus; the Fillmore classrooms at Amherst. and specialty or multi-purpose rooms on the North Campus. Danford compiled a 29-page report from the students' eight separate studies. "They went into great detail, "he noted . One of the things pointed out is the growing disparity between where instructional space is located and where demand is. There is excess space at Main Street, while demand is high at Amherst. Since the UB master plan is outdated and no longer followed, students decided to assume that the trend to move to the Amherst Campus, with the exception of the Health Sciences. wiU continue, Danford said.

Though my relationship to higher education in thts state A is now relatively remote in time and space, I hoped that a sympathetic perspective from afarmigpt still be useful. Let me identify several roles which the record · Jllay not fully reveal. In the late 1960s, I was Executive Assistant to the President and a law pr!.lfessor at the State Unive·r-· sity of New York at Buffalo. Since that time( have served in faculty and ad'ministrati~posts in several other state un iversity s stems- the University of California, In ·~ ·a Universi ty, and currently the Universit f WiS£llnsin System where I am Preside of a 2kampus statewide complex, sm ler in scale but in other ~ys not unlike the State University of New York. Since mY. academic field is constitutional Jaw, I have also followed legal developments affecting public higher education with a special interest. Finally, I spen t live years as the first chairman of a Committee on Institutional SelfRegulation of the American Council on Education. From these several perspectives. I have what yO'I) may appreciate to be a special interest in the subject before you . extensively regulat~nd constrained than our colleagues i her states like Michigan and Californ· . S tructures of ·State universi ty governance vary enormously from state to state. Since the merger of the two pre• viously separate state university systems in 1971, Wisconsin has 1\lld a single governing board which serves also as its highereducationcoordinating body. Our Board of Regents reports d irectly to the Gover.nor and the Legislature. When it approves (o r disapproves) degree programs, lhat is the end of the matter - save for the unlikely possi bility that the Legislature might second guess the Regents through budgetary actions and that is something that has been done, even indirectly, on only two occasions I can recall since nierger. Thus when the Governor ·appoints and the Senate conflrm s Regents fo r seven-year tenns, th ey_ are vested wi th the whole management res poru.ibility for the Universi ty System within broad statutory guidehnes. The absence of any external body to review programs. personnel and other judgments is a relatively unusual feature "Trust autonomy & flexibility are key issues." which has undoubtedly inhibited the real- · ization of that potential. All of us in American higher education recogni ze the rece ncy of SU Y's creation. We al so appreciate what extrao rdinary strides New York has made in less than 40 years in shaping a public universit y system. In fact, most states have followed precisely the opposite path - first creating a single campus state university and much later moving toward statew1de systems along with coordination through a commission or council in the executive branch of state government. New York. of course, moved in a very different way - having created its coordinaling agency 200 years ago, much later creating universities and S ccond . I would identify the matter of state budgetary appropriations as o ne of marked contrast. Each biennium the Board of Regen ts receives from the Legislature a lump-sum budget for all purposes save capital co ns truction. which is the s ubject of eparate act ion through a State Building Co mmi ssion and eventual legis lative approval. The operatin~ budget does contain a few earm.a rked Ite ms - for example. separate state s uppon for agricultural research or for the Laboratory of Hygiene which the universit y manages - but is for the most part undifferentiated by campus and is target ed for function o r activn y on ly in the broadcast respects. It is then for the Regents to determine, upon our reco mmendation, how much sho uld go to finally bringing them together as but one· which campus and for what purpose. If, of many educational activities for which for example. we wish to spare one campus the conseq uences of a short-term enrollm ent decline or to encourage another campus to reduce enrollments voluntarily, we are largely free to do so the Board of Regents has ult imate responsibility. For most of us, coordination through statewide boards came almost as an afterthought in the wake of dramatic expansion , growth and 1ensions during the 1960s. within th e single, consolidated budget. Our flexibilit y extends also to student fee income. which is essen tially pooled fol- P erhaps it would be most useful if I lowing its collection each semester and is reallocated to campuses on criteria which include but are by no means limited to its place of origi n. It is therefore,' the ability sin (with which I am most familiar). to manage the whole ge neral fund s budget ~ the aggregate of state appro- could not.e briefly six particular areas in which New York condit ions contrast significantly with I hose of WisconIndeed, when Wisconsin colleaSues complain of intrusion or s urveillance by state agencies , I often rem ind them of what our priations and s tudent fees - which really gives .the Regen ts that essential measure colleagues in of Oe>tibility which New York lacks. ew York face by contrast and how much better off we are in the midwest. The particular areas I would identify for com parison are ~truct ure; budget; auditing; inter-fund - transfers; purchasing and pr<Jfessional personnel policies. In each area , the comparison marked by the Independent Commission is dramaucally illustratcx1 by Wisconsin's experience - and eve1 we are more brought within its oversight.) Of course, we d o extensive internal post-auditing and try to keep our own house in sufficient ly good order that external scrutiny of o ur fiscal prac t ices is seldom necessary. Fourih, and fo r much the same reasons, we have brOad latitude regarding inter-fund transfers. Many reallocations during a fiscal year require the approval of the Board of Regents. We must seek a pproval of the Legislature's J<>i nt Committee on Finance if a net increase to approved budget levels is involved - for example, as a result of unexpected student fee income brought about by higher th an planned enrollments. We cannot, of course, transfer funds out of lines that cover utilities, fringe benefitS or certain other earmarked purposes; ability to rebudget. Fifth, in the area of purchasing we have bee n quite successfu l recently in obtaining delegation of authority for all but the most unusual and costly items. F inally, it is the area of personnel which I recall from my SUNY days as being most painfully restrictive. While Wisco nsin does maintain rather tight which we s hare with North Carolina, Oregon. a nd one or two other states. This autonomy carries over also to auditing. - the third area in which my own New York and Wisco nsin experiences reveal marked contrast. ot only are we effectively free of external pre-audit for any purpose; post-auditing is quite selective and is undertaken by the Legislative Audit Bureau only in response to a legislative conce rn or a discovered need. Ralston s idea raises afar worse spectre range of transactions than were in fact control -of the total University System between a partially tapped potent ial for grea t eminence on the one hand and o n the o ther hand excessive regu lation testimony how great a degree of trust we enjoy from an Audit Bureau which has legal authority to monitor a ' far larger allocate is, however, the rule rather than the exception within our general fund The report of the Independent Commission came to me as no s urprise. From my own experience in New Yo rk . 1 recognized the same tension which rhe Commission o carefully defined ~ (By curious coincidence, my first appearance in live years before the Legislature's Joint Committee on Audit took place on Tuesday of this week; I stressed in my position cOunt , we are left quite free to apportion positions to individual campuses and o f course among disciplines or functio ns within the unclassified staff. We do need state approval to increase the total posi tion count - when , for example, an une xpected federal resea rch grant comes during the fiscal year and requires the hiring of additional research staff. Within the unclassified service. however, we are constrained only by the position total s, by state and fed eral laws covering affi rmative action and similar matters. and of course, by the Board of Regents' own rather detailed personnel policies. My reco llection of the ew York expe- rience is dramatically different, with constraints I remember as burdensome and discouraging to what could become an extreme degree. Against this bac~ground and contrast, I h_ope it is clear that I am not suggesti ng New York should be exactly like Wisconsin. Moreover, as I noted earlier, Wisconsin lacks the degree of autonomy that exists in other states like Michigan and California where the stat e university enjoys constitutional Stat us as we do not. Yet it is clear to me that the University of Wi sconsin would not have become the international research university it is without _t~ ~ degree of t~s t , au tonomy and Oextbthty I havedescnbed and which we share with o ther major research un iversities. I do sense in the creative recommendations of the Independ ent Co mmission and the implementing legis~ lation a timely response to an anomalous situation . They offe r the hope of tapping much more full y that extraordinary potent ial which ' New York's State University hold s. If there is any helpful role for th ose of us outside ew York who have such high regard forthe state and its universities, I would be more than happy to help in any way I could. And for such time as yo ur agenda permits this morn- ing, I would be most hai?PYto answer any q uestiOn! or prov1de mformation that might be ~elpful to the Committee.

Surel y if the concept ~ valid that one should only do research of which one's colleagues may appro\'e, such a cOncept should apply eq~ll y well to teaching activities. publ ica· tion and service functions . After all , do we not often expound oo the truly diverse nature of ou r res ponsibilities in the ac'5Ciemy and say that ~ have essentially equal concern with research , as well as instruction, as well as service, etc?

And why hould the acceptabili ty concep t be so nar· rowly restricted to grant or co ntract supported research? We well know th at \'alid research is done within the Unive rsity even if not directly funded by external agencies. but those faculty clearly utilize tax-funded facilities 'to help produce their journal publications, books, works of poetry. an , and philosophy. Clearly such products may ha\•e socie1al implications wh ich desenc examination and approval by such · committees.

Alas, since these poor souls have not availed themselves of th is opport un ity. we need to cease embarrassing them by requiring them to exen such judgment, and instead C·reate that bastion of academic excelleqce and perspicacit y ... a committee! In my opinion, the essence pf a University is its l o la/, co mple1~ rejectioQ. of any limitations placed upon its faculty with respect to teachi ng, scho larly work, research or service, subject only to requirements of law and tenns and co nd itions of employment. with free and open access to risearch results.

MALONE �March 28, 1985 Volume 16, No. 24 Engineers build all-terrain vehi_cles for _B aja contest By WENDY ARNDT HUNT t 's difficult enough to deal with the Pfe§SUre for good gra des from a parent, but when a professor expects a student to perform well ... well, then the heat"s on. And the II ' mechanical engineering seniors who 11 enter the ir aU~terrain vehicle- in the Mini Baja East competition on May 10 and II at McGill University in Montreal sure do feel that they had better do their best: their advisor, Andres Soom, Ph.D., U.B I associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, received his bachelor of engineering degree in 1967 from McGill. . • Soom, defending himself, declared, ··we are out to do as well as we can, but not necessarily to win. The primary purpose," the professor postulated, " is for the student to learn how to design something." · He co · fessed, howe ver, " One )<ear, I told them at everyone would get an •A' if they pi in the top 25 per cent. • Mini Baja c petlt..ens were organized around the . unU)' about 10 years ago under the ausp1ces of the Society of Auto'rrl'otive jj,ngineers. This will be UB's sixth year in t~e Mini Baja East competition and .its second in the Midwest B~ja . Last year, UB placed 4th in the midwestern competitiop and .31 st in the eastern, said So om, wh o has been the ad viso r fo r all the compet itions University stu dents have entered. Those rankin gs. he said, are U B's best and \\'l>rst. Abiding by the rules of the competition, they were to build the vehicle with: an 8 horsepower engine manufactured by co-sponsor Briggs arid Stratton; at least three wheels; a roll cage capable of withstanding impact if dropped from a height of four feet ; a fire wall that reaches the base of the driver's helmett guards to protect the driver from chains and belts; an<J room to accommodate a 6'3.. driver. They were to construct their vehicle so it would cost no more than $1 ,500 if mass produced. During the two~ay competition. the vehicles will t>e tested to see how much they can pull, how well they ca n acceler· ate, brake. climb uphill, and maneuver turns, how fast they can t-ravel a fi ve-mile as phalt trnck, aod hpw long they can endure a three-to-five hour trek into and out of water and mud, over hills, a nd throu,gh forests. They will also be judged for aesthetics. Schoonmaker and Kay said the team designed theirvetticle with the endurance test in mind. figuring that if it performed well in this test, it would do so in all others. They designed it witlo a dual.bra~·. system so it can handle sharp turns, a rudder placed in the front and turbine blades on the inside oft he wheel walls so it can maneuver in water, a front streamlined like a boat so it can enter the wat er without losing too much speed, a nd a . cus tom-built heav y-dut y ra c K a nd pinion. They .a ss ume it will travel25 to 30 mph on land and 5 to 7 in water. The Mini Baja East entry must be able to· travel both on land a nd in water: the Midwest Baja entry. only on land. The former vehicle is fund ed by . Nat io nal Ca r Renta l and the America n Society of Mechanical Engineers: th e la tter by the Student Association. he midwestern tea m, which has seve n. members, is ca ptained by Roben Judd. His team will co mpete June I a nd 2 in 'Milwaukee. About 50 engi neering schools vic fo r the Numbe r I spot in the Mini Baja East competition: about 30 in the Midwest Baj a.

They hope to test it on la nd by the end of March and in the wat ers of Lake l!aSalle in mid- April. " W e are engineers," Kay said , claiming his future title. " We have designed the vehicle to go through mud. wa.ter a nd wh atever else gets in the way." They set out to design an d build a vehicle th at is lightweight a nd stro ng, which wi ll flo at, wh ich will not o nly maneuve r but also acce lerate in water, a nd which will ha nd le sharp tu rns.

By MURIEL HEBERT WOLF he opportunity to educate the artist as a total person makes professional arts training in the university vnique. challenging. and at times. problematic. Professio nal tra ining in the performl rfg arts has as its specific purpose to prepare arti sts; that is. to equip them with skills. knowledge and altitudes required in the· pursuit of caree rs with professional orga nizations. Further. in each field of perforinance the training systems .differ and opCrate under various types of institutional and private .. frameworks ... T when a studcnt·s n c n· o w~ system i::. geared to a major perfo rm ance commitmcnr. demanding long hours of practice and psyc hophysical involvcmenk which is not support ive of t he franic of mind rc4uircd for specific kind s of academic assignment s. The lack of communication between academic and professional areas is one of th e basic problems in developing effective. efficient and viable traimng. In so me institutions specializing in performance programs. scheduling of academic and performance activities is designed to accommoda te such a co nni ct. If this does not exist . the studio instructor sho uld work wi th the student in selfmanagement as related to the requirements of preparation for professional and educational goals. The training/ education phase should lead. if possi ble. to some career level activi ty or advanced stud y, which would eventually co ntribute to the candidate's eligibility to joi11 the mainstream of the profession. Even in this final orientation the studio teacher often plays an important role in providing co un sel a nd professional contacts. not to mention psychological support in career crises. As the singing artist Judith Raskin summarized simply, "Career preparatio n is basically preparing an artist. And preparing an ar.tist stans with identifying talent fi rst. giving the gifted person everything that person need s. by teachers who are well trained themselves ... and know how to teach ." 0 Within the framework of a University sys tem it is also most im portant to include more general educational and avocatio nal objectives . In spite of these differences. regardless of category, it is agreed that quality teach· ing and the highest standard s for preparation are needed. More interdisci plinary relationships, cross--disciplinary train ing and exposure to other subject areas are to ~ be encouraged.

Wiliiam Ryan, Ph.D., a Columbia geology professor who has led three seardl missions, including two in which Farre participated, questioned whether residue from the 1929 avalanche would have been massive enough to bury the wreckage if, in. fact, the Ti\anic settled upon the ocean floor near the Grand · Banks.

Columbia University is conducting the research on behalf of the Bedford Institute of Oceanology at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

The scanner covers a path five kilometers wide, with half that d istance on either side of the slowmoving research vessel. The soundings are translated into diagrams, to show what the ocean floor looks like. As Jacobi put it, the 1929 tid al wave was "the one and only historically recorded tidal wave in that area," but, he added, there have been extremely minor earthquakes in the area since then. According to wrinen accounts, the 1929 tidal wave claimed numerous lives ·as it tossed ships ashore like toys, caused unestimable damage to docks and other shoreline structure$ as far south as Nova Scotia · and severed submerged transatlantic telephone and telegraph Cables.

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

Those being considered for teaching would be required to have a minimum 550 on the TOEFL (taken in their home country). Upon arrival at UB, they would be given the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) Test and would have to score at least 250, Dunnett said. ' TOEFL measures listening comprehension, reading, writing, and grammar. The SPEAK Test t11easures spoken English, he explained. ' A score of 250 to 300 on the SPEAK indicates the student is completely com-· prehensible iri ~rmal speech, with occasional gramma ·cal or pronunciation errors in very co quial phrases. The Educational Testin Service considers the 250 score t he acce able Standard as do at least 25 colleges d universities. . Althouglrthere is some general correlation between TOEFL and SPEAK scores, in many cases there is a large discrepancy between them, Dunnett explained. Because a student level or p'roficiency in passive language skills, as measured by the TOEFL. may be very different from his skill in speaking, it is esse.,ntial that testing for speaking proficiency con tinu e irrespective of TOEFL scores, he added. Another recommendation is that departments assigning ins tru ctional duties to international graduate students must inform the vice president for graduate and professional education and refer these ~tudents to the lEU , he said. :s here are several problems with the present system; Dunnett said. Too many waivers are given on the TOEFL only41 per cent orroreign TAs presented TOEFL scores this semester, he said. It's sort of an unofficial requirement now that the international T A ·s take the SPEAK Test when they get here, Dunnett said. But the lEU can\ compel the students to take the SPEAK , and the students have incentives to avoid taking it. If they do poorly, they may be asked to take one or two remedial courses which may result in course conflicts or delay completion of their programs, he explamed. No one is checking to make su re students who are required to take tile remedial courses are actually taking them, Dunnett said. · "Some don 1t take the test," he indicated. "Some don't take the remedial course. But frankly. the course can\ do that much. It's only three hours a week. That's not enough. It's kind or a Band-Aid." Besides providing more time, the sixweek course could prove helpful ifit contained a cultural component, he said. "It isn\ always a language problem," Dunnett said. "It could be cultural." T A few years ago, he and some colleagues sat1n on some classes taught by international TA's. One Japanese s.t udent, who spoke English well, taught in a Japanese style. The TA was very rigid and had no interaction with the class. Undergraduates complained that they couldn \ cnderstand him, Dunnett said. .. It wasn't for linguistic reasons; it was a pure eultural barrier," he noted. In another class, a TA with less proficiency in English taught in a Latino style. He used "street English," chatted with students and "worked the crowd," Dunnett said. The undergraduates felt they understood him even though his English was poor. A third part of the summer program could bC teacher training, Dunnen said. Every department is supposed to have a program to guide T A's on how to teach. "Every department will tell you they do," Dunnett said . "But the number of departmentS that are really serious is low .'~ Most i~ sponsoring agencies send . SU-pPO~ed~ nts to summer language programs in advance of their entering graduate school. UB's lEU is a trairling center fOr Fulbright scholars. .. Essentially, we provide training for Berkeley, Stanford, and Harvard, but not for our own University students,~ he said. "I feel very sorry for TA's who have a problem. They know they have a problem, but they can't afford to quit and come full-time for intensive language courses. They reel nobody is helping • them." The present system is unfair both to the TA 'sand to the undergraduates, he said , adding that the whole University has to come together to address this issue. The new requirements would not discourage interna t ional students, but would encourage them to apply here, Dunnett maintains. After the TOEFL requirement was raised from 500 to 550, UB got more and better international studen_ts. In a kind of snowball effect, the ·new . requirements would attract quality students to UB because this University would,be seen as having high standards, he said. anjeet Singh, the Graduate Student Association's international student coordinator, disagreed on that point. If students have to wait out a semester to take En$1ish courses before they begin their teachmg, it puts the department in a bind, he pointed out. The depa.rtments will end u~ short-handed and will there' fore avo1d international TA 's, he explained . . Other universities don't require a semester-long wait, he added. He feels strongly that 550 on ihe TOEFL is an adequate measure of' English proficiency. If a TA gets above 550 on the TOEFL but doesn\ do wdl on the SPEAK, the TA should be allowed to take a remedial course while teaching, Singh suggested . If a TA scores below 550 on the TOEFL, he should be required to take a summer course, he said . Singh also pointed out that a new policy shouldn\ be a financial burden to the M TA 's. In the present system, intensive . remedial Enghsli language courses are not co.vered by tuition waiver and stu~ dents have to pay for them out or their own pocket. "lfthe departments pay for the course, that's one way out," Singh said. " But it would be better to allow theTA 's to take · , the language and communication course while they're teaching." Any probkins that come up whi.le teaching co uld , then, be brought out '" the course, he said. "The University has to address this issue; both TAs and undergrads suffer." Another point concerns references to acculturation, he noted. Wording should c;arefully avoid sounding like the international T A's are to be made like Americans, instead the message should be that theTA's are to be made aware or the culture, Singh said . . He objected to letters in The Spectrum from unde~;"graduates complaining about not being 3ble to understand international T A's, "They're dealing with the problem the wrong way," he said. "They should bring it up with their individual TA's and departments ... There might be a small percentage of international TA 's with a problem, but not a majority, Singh contended . eremy Blachman, academic affairs director of the undergraduate Student Association, told the Reporter he was planning to take a particular complaint to Vice President Rennie. · Several studeins in a freshman-level introductory course said they had to drop the course because they couldn"t understand the international TA and couldn"t get into another section, Blachman related. "If they're not being taught at the foundation , it's bad," Blachman said. He said he has received 25 to 35 sj>ecific complaints concerning international T A's. Blachman also noti:d Ule letters in The Spectrufll. When students get to the point of writing a letter, the situ ation is serious. he suggested . He mentioned a University of Pittsburgh case where students successfully grieved for a tuition refund because theY couldn' understand their TA. ·us can' afford a similar incident. he said. "Something has to be done immediately," Blachman said . He said that he would hate to see the issue relegated to a time<onsuming task force. J said ADCAS and the executive committee of the Graduate R ennie School will probably come up with recommendatiOns to be considered by the president and council or deans. One would be very simple, he said: "No teaching assistant could stand up in front or a class without a certifiable command or the English language." The 250 score on the SPEAK Test has been suggested as a measure . "The burden or proof is on Dunnen that the SPEAK score should be 250," Renn ie said. "We have to be very careful we know what we're talking about. It's like advocating a car you haven't dri ven or a book yo u have n't read.'' Dunnett feels that the ETS guidelines and the experience of other institutions constitute compelling evidence. Rennie said he assumes the chairs would be asked to enforce th e new requirements. There might be some objections. he noted, but reasonable change seems in order. Some step~ere taken in the last two or three years, he said. The TOEFL requirement was stiffened, but TA 's were allowed to teach while taking intensive remedial English. Since there were no tuition waivers for such courses, st udents had to pay themselves. "It wasn\ implemented in a gr'lceful or realistic way,,. Rennie said . "It's not supposed to be a penalty for the foreign student, but a remedy for the problem with undergraduate students. · .. We want foreign students here, but we want them to speak passable English, and I'm sure they want to, also.,. he scope or the problem was quesby seve.ral .people. . T-"'I'mtioned not so sure we have a foreagn TA problem; we may have a problem with some foreign TA 's," said Dr. Joseph F. Williams, director of the Office of International Ed ucation Services. Individual assessment by the appropriate faculty supervisor is needed. he said . .. Brian Levin-Stankevich , assistant director for admissions, suggested that some or the complaints about people who can\ speak English well may actually be about permanent residents who are recent immigrants. The system now operates not on ~he basis of native language, but on v1sa category, he said. Although some departments require a TOEFL score or interview if a student wasn't educated entirely in the U.S., it's not a Universitywide rule, he said. Oscar Bartochowslci, president or the Graduate Student Association, poses that part or the problem may stem from the arrogance of the American students. "Is it that they don\ understand, or is it that they don\ take the time to listen to a slightly different accent?" he questioned . The issue has been the number o ne complaint or undergraduates for at least. the last five years, according to Lawrence Kojaku, assistant vice president for University Services. Kojaku, who is responsible for enrollment management, said the situ ation is undoubtedly reflected in the fact that we have a higher freshman attrition rate than 0 many of our peer institutions. ·SUNY A seeking new carrier for its malpractice insurance new insurance carrier is being but with the sa me carrier, may also be sought for SUNY's malprac-. affected, said Lawrence Drake, associate tice policy now that the current dean in administration in the School of earner has announced it won' Dental Medicine. renew, but there are no indications from His understand ing is that there'sa very s!:ght possibility the company will give Albany of any long-rim$< problems in getting new coverage. sa1d Kevin Seitz. the chnical practice plan a renewal. assistant vice president for finance and Drake said. management at UB.

Indirectly the visit s rked -ehina 's new outward looking licy, which brought to an _e.!J:<I the traditional Maoist policy of autarky. This change subsequently precipitated. among other things. a flood of international students from China co ming to study here in the U.S. Their numbers today, rovghly 7000. while in no way approaching the magnitudes characteristic of students from couritries such as Iran. Taiwan, and Nigeria. nevertheless mar.k a historic departure from the norm for international student populations in the U.S. And it is interesting to_note that a U.S. law barring visi ts by communists (which has often been used to prevent socialist and marxist intellectuals from Europe and elsewhere from visiting the U.S.) has not been applied against the Chjnesc - which must surely strike some as a major act of hypocrisy on th e part of an Administration that · . prides itself on being staunchly anticommunist.

Arriving here in 1980. he spent roughly two years studying at the Uni versity of Chicago. Two Years in the Melting Pot is an account of some of his experiences during that period. The book , simply but well written, reveals Liu Zo ngren as a person wh o is deeply sensitive. intelligent. and imme n ~ely perceptive. His insatiable hunger to learn as much abou t Americans and their country as possible led him to overcome his natural Oriental A What funds should we accept and what not?EDITOR: . ccording to Dean George Lee, as quoted in the Reporter of 7 March, the recent grant to the UniVersity from the Department of Defense (DO D) to work on the SDI ("Star Wars') system is "just lik.e any other DOD grant. • Well, not quite. Any grant from DOD has, in the standard parlance, a mission-oriented Oavor about it. But some branches of DOD, most notably the Office of Naval Research. have a long and estimable history of supporting basic research independent of particular weapons systems. This is very different from research aimed at producing science or technology' directly applica)>le to a specific military system like th e Star Wars · system . Should the University community be A aspects and are.as .o f American society - sometimes nskmg senous personal injury in the process. For like many other visitors to the U.S. Zongren discovered that violence here is as. Ameri.can as apple p1e - not revoluttonary violence of course, but criminal violence, ranging from meaningless slaughter of random victims by ·•serial" murderers to the sexual and physical abuse of children and everything else in between: rapes, robberies, mugging, .. · etc. But the book is not only about the ·u.s. It also provides glimpses of China (a nation that is as much alien to Americans as the U.S . .is to the Chinese), as the author makes comparisons. Thus at one point he comments: "Western li.fe is very appealing to many yo ung Chinese today, who think that a better life can be achieved by adopting western life-styles .... Let them try they will soon learn." (p. 127) - ric distinct element about Zongren ·s experiences that international student$ from other pans of the world studying here will find no trouble relating to is that concerning adaptation problems. Problems such as homesicknes ; long bouts of physical and mental loneliness; the generally cold and indifferent attitude of most Americans, often masking a raw animosity that wells out of a misguided sense of racial su perio rit y; and feelings of inferiority (us ually in those moments ·when there is a breakdown of intellectual discipline as responses that should be cerebr31 give way to the visceral). It may be parenthetically noted that man y of these types of experiences chat Zongrcn went through ha ve been vindicated by research. See, for example, Foreign Swdentf in the Un;led S101es of America by W. Frank Hull. Jr. (New Yoik : Praeger, 1978). In Zongren's book. international students will also find many an echo of their own observations of U.S. society. For as discussions with international st udents often reveal. an · important motif in their observations (as in Zongren's) is the replacement of the initial awe at the wealth and ni.aterial prosperity enjoyed by most Americans with .a perception of deep contradictions characteristic of U.S. society. 0 concerned about the prove nance of th is particular g'i"nt? I think so. But not because I have doubts about the value of th e research that will be d one qua research. I assume that my faculty colleagues in the School of Engineering have proposed and will do research appropriate for a universit y setti£lg. And I am su re that there are no prohibitions on ffee dissemination of the results of this research. But that is not enough to make it appropriate to acce pt funds for such research. I am sure each of my faculty colleagues could name organizations from which ·it would not be appropriate to accep t funds because to do so would associate th e university with causes or motivations antithetical to th e intellectual missio n of a uni.versity. The opinions expressed in "Viewpoints" pieces are those of the wri· ters and not necessa-rily those of the Reporter. We welcome your comments. "The cold and indifferent attitudes ·of most Americans mask a raw animosity ) arising from feelings of superiority." ltimately, Zon&ren's book is a testimony, on one hand , to the hollowness of the claims to moral superiority that undergird U.S. behavior vis a vis the rest of the world - especially the Soviets and their a11i es; and on the other to an adage that must be coined for the occasion: "absolute wealth 'breeds absolute arrogance and absolute arrogance breeds absolute ignorance." While international students from China and elsewhere will find this book obviously in teresting, it should also be read by Americans in general, and students and teachers in particular. They will find in it examples o[ views and ex periences of people they see eve ry day in classrooms, etc., but witb whom they usually do not interact socially. At the very least they should read it not because they will find it edifying, but because it may help assuage the curiosity that Americans generally betray as to what others really think of them itself symptomatic of a deep sense of insecurity that pervades the national psyche. 0 U logical extension of anthropopathism. It is disturbing to find that in a society where communications technology has ad vanced to th e highest levels imaginable. and where a high premium is placed on open access to information, a great majority of th e people display profound ignorance of affairs national and in ternational. Moreover, the media with the greatest educative and edificatory potential: prime-time television is burdened with programs that are, more often than not , incredibly banal, vulgar, and cerebrally soporific. Meanwhile the only television channel valiantly trying to actualize - Y. G-M. LULAT Mr. Lulat Is a doctoral student from Zambia. benefit from an attempt tb develop this system. You have probably guessed that I am o n the other side. This does not lead me to argue now that this grant sho uld not have been accepted. But it does ca use me to worry that there are no procedures in place at this university which would result in any significant consideration being given to the proprie ty of accepting funds when there may be· va lid objections from a significant proportion of the community to the underlyin~ purposes for which the funds are intended. When a university is hell-bent to improve its position in league tables of academic qualit y, such as the o ne which records the number of research dollars which now through the sys tem, It 1s not hkely th;u administrative officials will giv'e sufficient weight to the orne would no doubt argue that consideration~ I have raised here. And all funds from the Department of it is with no intent to be cri ti cal of any Befe.nse are in th is category. I do not. specific faculty member when I sugsest But neither do I believe that DOD that the rewa rds which now from obtaining such grants m3ke an unbifund s Tor any project whatsoever should necessaril y be acce pted . Th~ rc is ased judgment pn these issues unlikel y cu rrently considerable controversy by anyone applying for a grant. What about whether Star Wars is technologiis needed is a facult y committee to cally feasible, economically defensi ble advise the administration on whether o r politically wise. potentially co ntroversial gran ts should _ ~_s__g_ught or accc~ted ! ~herP. ~dvise·· Most of i.t~ defe_nders ! cern to be from the mohfaty- mdustnal1 s'hotlltfbc read as tmplyong that' rarely would such advice not be taken ). governmental co mmunities wh o would S this potential is shamefully forced to go out to the public with a begging-bowl in hand, to underwrite its survival. But perhaps among the most disturbing contradictions of U.S. society, that must produce a chilling alarm in the minds of those who perceive it is this fact: The relatively unparalleled and unprecedented materia! wealth and economic well-being enjoyed by the majority of Americans (all the more . remarkable considering that their roots are no more than two centuries deep in a land pilfered from tbe Native Americans) resylt from the activities of a massive, capitalistically voracious military-industrial complex that is unjustifiably fueled by nearly half of the world's key resources, and at the heart of which is the relentless profit driven production of weapons of cataclysmic global destruction beyond the comprehension of the human mind (and the by-production of irreversible environmental damage in realms ranging from the genetic to no,a and fauna) . Contradictions, as Zongren found, that are sometimes amusing. sometimes disturbing, and sometimes alarmingly chilling. Thus, for, examgle it is amusing to find th3t a person will invest some 100 dollars or more in a metal detector to look for pennies. The huge population of cats and dogs, and other pets, (probably the largest in the world) points to another am using contradiction: the' pervilsive anthr.opopathism of a people who pride themselves in being scientific and modem. Even that, however, is funher contradicted by a general aversion to vegetarianism - a At one time it could have bef: n anticipated that the student bod y would push the administration in th is direction. But now it appears that a large majority of the students are more interested in the •• reward s'" alluded to . above than in moral issues. Which . leaves only the faculty to push for such a committee. How many of you, whether you agree with me or not about Star Wars, believe that universities need to guard their intellect ual honesty by attending to the question of what funds to accept, what not? 0 - ANTHONY RALSTON Professor of Computer Science -· and Mathematics 0 Her good will is evaporating EDITOR: Re headline: ..Structure does count: undergrad educa tion here has been run by MEN of good will. etc. .. .

Reducing energy loss by one or two per cent can save tens of millions of dollars. . That"s why the Department of Energy awarded a $325,000 grant to William J. Rae. Ph.D .. fo rmerly with th e Aerod ynamic Research Department ~~ Ca.lspan 0 and now a research professor in mechanical and aerospate engineering here. After two years of testing at Calspan 's Tire Research Facility, the project recently shifted into a concluding analytical stage at UB. Rae and his colleague, Dale B. Taulbee, Ph. D .• have found that tire interiors are virtual laboratories for the study of several fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems. Heat transfer - the buildup and migrationofthermal energy - is the heart of a rolling tire's energy budget. "Cavity air is highly turbulent."' reports Rae. It s loshes, loops, lags, and sp urts as the tire turns. The net effect of the washing and churning is that heat is drawn into the cavity: The tempest cools the tire. Ultimately, says Rae , ti re design is governed by operating ~osts. Though a hot, flexible tire wears rapidly. it reduces the amount of fuel needed to overcome rolling resistance: And for the moment, it's cheaper to burn rubber than to burn gas. Their work represents only a first step toward understanding the unexpectedly complex air fl ow patterns inside a rolling 0 tire, says Rae. Cornell ~eeks· ·independence for .the statutory colleges; .

This can only be achieved. he con tended . "if Cornell has the right of direct access to the Governor and the Legislature regarding ou r annual budget proposals." Cornell operates the "State Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Veterinary Medicine, Industrial and Labor Relations, and Human Ecology. At pre en t, Rhodessaid , and for a century past, these colleges have been defined by law as ··col)eg.. furnishing. higher education operated by private institutions on behalf of the State..... "'Since 1948, though. these contract colleges bav.e come under ...the 'general suPervision .. oft he State University trustees. he recalled. Prior to that. the Commissioners of Education who oversaw these operations confined State involvement to financial and fiscal matters. With th e State University trustees. however. ··financial and fiscal issues cannot be sepa rated from educat ional priorities and purpo cs." Rhodes observed. ·•The present ·ambiguous and complicated relationship must be revised and si mplified."" he said. Cornell accepts the overseer role of the State of New York in relation to the statutory or contract colleges. It can continue to accept the "general supervision" of the State University trustees. "However. in order to protect the excellence of these colleges:· Rhodes went on. "we believe, mostfcrventl y. that the contract should be mod ified by statute to recognize and co nfirm the right and duty of Cornell to present our academic and research priorities and our budget for these colleges to th e Governor and th en ' o explain and defend that budget in the Legislature."' The prese nt arrangement. R hades said. " is not calculated to recognize the unique role 6f Cornell as the land grant institution of the State of ew York . It is not designed to foclJs upon research and graduate programs of exceptional quality. It cannot. It is our experience t hat the internal constraints and pressures of the SU Y syste m. with the best will in the world. effectively exclude that possibility."" Cornell will. he said. ""develop a legislati ve pro posal which extends to Cornell th e necessary freedom of access to the elected represe ntati':CS of the people.- the concept cif recreating SU ' Y as a public benefit corporation. While he welco mes the Governor's recent initiatives toward additio nal fle xibilit y. he said . these initiatives do not " appear to achieve all of the goals reco mmended by the ·commf sian a nd embraced within the University's proposed legislatio n ... yson more ve hement , offering D litany of pe rceived abuses which. in his view. the trustees have meddlesomely "The rationale for the Commission's decision to focus this one recommendation out of29 on specifically named campuses should be obvious to anyone .who reads that recommendation within the co ntext of the repon." Blinken said . " It simply reflects the inescapable fact that gradua te educati on and research activities (except for the health sciences) at SUNY's State-operated campuses just do not match up well when compared to th ose sa me activities at other prominent state universities around the country."':, was a inflicted on Cornell - "scandalous" budget cuts in agri~Jtura l resea rch. "shortchanging·· of the College of Veterinary Med ici ne. and pay scales at the statutory colleges below those at the SU ' Y centers. The SU Y bureaucracy. he said. see ks ··control not quality. They plead for freedom for themselve . but refuse the same freedom which is needed for the very same reaso ns at Cornell. They even promise you th at they will deliver excellence when their own record has been one tnat refused to recogni ze it in their own midst much less to value. protect . and · enhance it. .. This is nm to say," Dyson continued. • ••that Cornell's constituent groups would in any way wish to harm S 1 Y or to delay the achievement of excellence there. It is 10 say that we do not believe that freedom alone will do the trick . SUNY will also need courage to make choices and tenacity in the face of troubles if it is to create ex.cellence anywhere within iis systefT! ... S UNY Chairman Blinken noJed that the trustees support none of thC: alternatives which have been advanced to To~he question of whether sUNY as a public corporation would si mply substitute an internal bureaucracy for an external one. Blinken answered no. He had no .. perfect .. answers to questions of which specific activities should be retained in Albany and which should be delegated to the campuses. But to try to do that now. he said. woUld be futile. "It" si mpl y is impossible to an ticipate each eventuality that may arise." Further. any a11emptto address such specifics thro ugh legislation ··might sim pl y recreate the same so rt of inflexibilities we now arc seckihg to correct. .. He called for a middl e ground between blind faith in the trustees and delegation o( aut hority by statute. · The Commission's recommendation ""to bolster SUNY 's research and graduate education capabilities by energetically developing the University cen ters at Buffalo and Stony Brook. ""lllinken said. has "triggered uncenainty and ske pticism nearl y everywhere within the SUNY system except at Stony Brook and Buffalo! Correction!." he added. "even in Western New York the perception in downtown s ·uffalo may not be quite the same as that in Amherst! " . But, Blinken assured, creating "mega ce nters"" at Buffalo and S"tony Bropk does not mean ..slas!Jing flesh and bone elsewhere." The differential treatment among the four university centers. the Trustee Chairman said. ··also reflects a process of logic if one accepts. as the Commission did . the premise th at it would be a poor use of sca rce State r,esources to try to make all four centers 'all things to all people. "The cen ters at Buffalo and Stony Brook already possess quantitative breadth beyond that of the centers at Albany and Binghamton. This fac tor. coupled with geoecondmic fac tors noted in the Commission's r'port made the Commission's •build strength on strength' conclusion almost inescapa ble. Please remember. - the Commission's recommendation did not suggest differentiating among the four ,university centers or between the centers and the other camp uses ib terms of program quality. The Commission r.eport support s what has long been the !!J>ard of Trustees policy: to strive for the highest possible pro· gram quali ty at all SUNY campuses." · This can be done. Blinken proposed. by contin uing. and perhaps selectively sharpening, budget-building tools commonly in use already.

This general relationship now is recognized through enriched faculty-stud ent ratios at the graduate levels._ in faculty staffing models and through similar weighting techniques for oth er categories of expenditure. The sensible way to implement the Commission's recommendations then is to reexamine and fine tune those techniques.

When our Council members first became advocates for increased flexibility. most of us were not sanguine about the outcome. At times. our frustration at our inability to respond to legitimate educational and economic needs has verged on despair. Howeve r, throughout the State people now are responding. We would not be here today if you did not see the problem and have a clear commitment to address it. The pace has quick- , ened. I am now optimistic that public higher education in the State has the best opportunity it has ever had to realize ils "full potential."'

Lawyer/nun specializes in human rights law By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO l._. athleen. Rimar decided to go to UB's law school to get the skills she neeOed fn l\er work. ow she's a full-time clinical instructor here. That doesn't seem unusual until you considerthe fact that Rimar is a Roman Catholic nun. Why is a nun teaching at UB's law school? • "May e the first question should be, why is a un a lawyer?" offc;_red Rimar. who is a mber of the Sisters of St. Francis, with e molb.erhouse at Stella Niagara. . Some assume he became a lawyer · beea~ the church needs legal representation. But Rimar, who specializes in human rights and immigration law, went to law school to get the skills she needed to help the powerless, she said. The j dea grew out of her involvement With the Center for Justice, 2278 Main St., 'Buffalo. The center, which she helped to start in the early 1970s, was set up to respond to social justite issues such as nuclear disarmament, hunger, corporate responsibility: and the refugee issue, she · said. K imar has had few pro.blcms as a nun teaching in a public institution. For R o ne thing. many don't realize she is a nun "The more .that --'priests & nuns are real people, the better." . - KATHLEEN RIMAR One way to respond to issues is to work on the kinds of systems that bring about problems, she noted. "One way to do that was to go to law . · school and get the skjlls to help people who are ·victimized by the structure," Rimar said. . She explained th at she wanted to get power so she could use it for lhe powerless. "J shealladmitted. sounds idealistic - and it is," Rimar said she feels a t responsibility to do this work, but realizes she is not going to change the whole world by herself. She does think she can make a difference, though. "I think we all can," Rimar said, " if we want to. Wlthin our own worlds, we can make a difference. Hopefully we can say at the end of our lives that the world is a different and beller place because I was in it." . In 1976, she started law school at UB. " Initially, I wasn' crazy about law school," she said . BUI once she got to human tights law, she began to see ways to use law in the future. When she graduated ·in 1980, Rimar never really thought about teaching at a Catholic institution. "Number one, I go t the job offer here.·· •he said: "When the opportunity arose to teach the human rights clinic, I jumped at the chance." The human rights clinic was the first such clinic in a law school in the country, she said . It gives st udents a chance for "hand~-<>n" experierice. Students have done research on migrant farm workers in the United States, sexual exploitation of cpildren in this country, and children who are incarcerated with adults in pris~ ons in other parts of the world. . She also runs immigration clinics. The refugee question is o ne in which she is personally involved, she said. Work with Salvadoran refugees is dif· ficul t because, in her opinion, the process for deciding their status isn't as objective as it should be. ... Ninety-nine point nine per cent of them will be denied legal statu; in the U.S.," Rimar said. "Once the legal avenues are used up. they have two alternatives: They can 'get lost ' in the United States and hope they're never found, or they can go to Canada and hope they get legal status." Canada's system, in her estimation, is more objective. "So we do a lot of work helping them get into Canada," she added. he noted that the sanctuary movement is becoming a real issue in· the U.S. There is no declared sanctuary in Buffalo; the nearest is in Rochester, she said. "I personally support the sanct uary movement.·· Ramar said. "It's a difficult position for a lawyer to be in because I'm supposed to be an officer of the court and uphold the laws of my covntry. " I basically agree with that, but there are times in a person's life when there are more important principles to stand up for. If there's a question of following my conscience or the law, there's no problem; the former would win out. "That's when it gets tough. I have commitments to the legal system, but I have overriding commitments to my integrity and to othec people's integrity." Her co nce rn on international human rights took her to Nicaragua for five weeks this spring. She stayed wi!h a fam· ily in ESteli. a little town in the northwest part of the country. ''I have to say it was one of the best · experiences of my life, b~t it was one of · S since she doesn't .wear a habit. · "( think it bothers some people that I don 't wea r a habit."she said. "But I think the more that men and women who are religious can be real peo ple. the more comfortable people are with us. " I think for a long time priests and nuns were seen as apart from the rest of the world: ' not as real people concerned with real issues. But we experience all the same emotions and feelings and have the same type of life-expe riences th at ot her peo ple do." • Titles arc no indication of her vocation. She said she feels most comfortable if her students just call her .i.' Kathy." The st udents in her _larger. firs1-year sections may not even know that she is a min, though word usually gets arouhd the smaller classes. Most are quite com(ortable. though some who have never met a nun before a re sometimes unsure of hoW to act. Some have actually asked her. " how should I treat you?" "Just like you would anybody else," she replies. Her vocation has affected her teaching, just as anyone's beliefs and background would affect his or her teaching, she said . " I hope my values are reflected in what I teach," she said. " I don't hide them: I don' apologi1.e for them. " I don 't expect the students to have the same values. It's important fort hem to be exposed to people with different values so they can choose their own." The word "Catholicism," how~ver. has never come up. "I don't think the ·religion' a perso n is, is as important as the 'person' a person is." she said ... It's more important that th ~y develop a set of values they live by, rather than bei ng any one particular kind of religion." 0 UBriefs Brunskill to head UBF's major gift program Philip J .

He read one letter from a fellow artist, a victim of child abuse, who loved the nme illustrations. ahurin .urged artists to use a hardease portfolio; employ effective record· keeping proced ures to ensure that interviews with prospective clients, etc., are d utifully recorded, and to precl ude sending a prospective client the same promotional tid bit twice. He also told the UB students to only 'keep items in the portfolio that truly represent the artist's best work; get an answering machine; and don) play "Joe Cool" if a beginner and ignorant of the going rate for a particular illustration job. He also to ld students to begin to keep notes on publications they find appealing, and compile a list of prospective clients. Mahurin kept such a "real world" notebook while still in school. "Keep lists of not just publications like nme and Esquire, but also other publications that you like, so that you understand what's happening in illustratiQn. Begin to know who the creative directors and art directors are," he advised ... and what they have done to shape particular pieces." Also, ·•on inteiviews let the art directo r know that you're aware of his or her work; if they can't hire you,.then ask for referrals. ever leave an appointment without getting a referral."' Mahurin said he has received as many as 20 referrals from a single call to an art director. Give tlients 30 days to pay the bil!, Mahurin suggested. Afte rt hat, " bug" the accounts payable department or similar entity without , however, ever pestering the art director who gave you thejob,'he said . Good art directol'li should be respected and cultivated as the frieads they often become. "Editors," he advised, "are the enemy. " They often fail to unde l'litand th e !lrtistic and producti on ramifications of a piece, he said. Mah urin noted that recently, he illustrated a story on actor William Hurt for Playboy, signing the original " M.M." The art director rather sheepishly told Mahurin that the ini tials would have to be excised. Why? Mahurin said he was told the editor feared the initials might be mistaken for those of Marilyn Monroe; the magazine was incl uding a piece on the late actress in the same issue. Those editors! Mah urin's work has also appeared in Mother Jones. Print. Texas Monthly. among other pub1ications, and o n the 0 covers of various record albums. M AHURIN elf-confidence and bravado flooded the room · as wunderkind illustrator Matt Mahurin addressed a packed gathering of UB student artist at Bethune Gallery March 13. He spoke fo r several hours, mixi ng wh at see med , at times, pure ego-tripping with numerous well-chosen tips fo r the beginning illustrator. S Mahurin is certainly in a position to give advice. At the age of 25. he has ill us- · trated both the cover and inside pages of a recent Time report on wife battering, rape, and child abuse - aS 10,000 job. In 1984. he had l40'ind ividual illustrat ion jobs. In 1985, he has done workfor Time. the Los Angeles Timts (for which he has done so me 200 iUustrations ove r the past four years), nme-l.ife Books. Playboy. the DuPont co rporation, two book covel'li, People magazine, Rolling Stone magazine, and the American Film Institute. His gross earnings for Janu ary alone were a cool $47,000. "This is more than most people make and not as much as some others make," he said. Advertisi ng is particularly lucrative, Mahurin continued. ''The sky's tta~ · limit. It's unbelievable bow much yo u can choke t~ose guys _for." Mahurin, speaking in the Art Department's Visiting Artist Lecture Series, accepts the fact that so me will view him as "conceited ," but is still ready to offer his advice. " I'm going to give you a lot of information," he told the crowd at the beginning of the lecture. '' Information that would have helped me at a similar point in my career ... Mahurin said it's a voyage into nowhere to .. start at the bottom and work up.• The serious illustrator directly approaches those publications, or other illustration markets, which he or she .. respects. " Movingamongsop,hi raicated , have a reputation for being fast. " ~'I knowledgeable art directors 11ls0'--))Rs its own rewards, he said. He believes acceptance by these individuals offers a ;nore valid assessment of one's skills than does starting with "Joe's Paste-Up S hop· in Queens." _ He added : " In terms of being in one place, there is no place like New York," although "75 per cent " of Mahurin's wo rk is done for out-of-town clients. He would have a much less d istinguished career, he said,.without access to Federal Express and its ove01ight delivery services. In fact, at the conclusion of the Bethune lecture, Mahurin began an illustration for the op-ed page of the Los Angeles Times. a bare hour' before the completed graphic (which concerned the lack of political directi on and structural cohesion in the Democratic Party) was due at Buffalo's Federal E)(press office. Mahurin fi nished in time, even signing the delivery slip before the students' eyes. Said Mahurin: .. I have a reputati on for being fast. . .. I generally tum in things as soon as possible . ... I know th is has helped me get jobs." But speed is only part of the picture. Talent, of coul'lie, is indispensible. "If your wo rk is good, and you- have a healthy attitude and you don' smell bad, you11 get the (illustration) job." The heal t hy attitude encompasses selfconfidence; effective and unpretentious marketing techniques; and firm adherence tb one's artistic ethos. Of course, getting in to see the appro- priate art director is no easy task : Mahurin described the admittedly "sneaky" tactics he used to see New York and Los Angeles art directol'li before his cu rrent demand in the graphics world . ••no anything to get in to see someone a lot of viable bullshit is needed . . . You've got to be sneaky, boy." He said lying to counteract the difficulties inhererlt in starting out, diffel'li drastically from lying to mask a fault y talent._He does not advocate the latter. Almost always, an aggressive, imaginative marketirig posture is required, said the New York illustrator, who now makes his home in Manhattan . In the case of the Time job, Mahurin was initially asked to provide illustrations for only one ofthre<; subject areas covered by the magazine's long piece on violence. " I knew Time killed a lot of art." So, he did ten pieces in a week, thereby providing illustrations for all three subject areas (other artists had been asked 10 provide graphics fo r the remaining two segments). Eventually, Mahurin's ideas prevailed . Needless to say, getting the job mvo lved opo rtun ism and moxie on Mahurin's part. Still, "I was really scared. Time. a very conservative magazine, had never done anything like this," Mahurin said, noting the grotesque, violent character of his images. Even so, Mahurin was on target. The work for Time, his first magiz.i ne cover ever, .. was the most piv.otalthing in my career."

He has earned 14 national awards for his work , including several for Bradbury stories he had already produced on his own . " I met Ray Bradbury when I was a teenager," McDonough notes , " so 1 was particularly pleased when he encouraged me to adapt h is stories for radio." Absent the visual effects or movies and TV , aud io drama must use very specific, but very simple sounds to induce a p icture in the mi nd of the listener. When it came time to beg1n work On Bredtiury 13 at Brigham Young University:.S Media Productions studio - where he is employed as an en"gineer - McDo· nough decided he iL¥>1 couldn't use "gunky old sound effects." He got his fi rst tape recorder at the age of eight, and began tapping into the speakers at drive-in movies with alligator clips in order to record the sounCUracks. He spenthours listening to the sound effects i n movies fike "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and the early James Bond films; he became so familiar with By QUINT B. RANDLE cenain effects tha t he could watch an old movie on Tv -and tell which Hollywood studio it came from JUSt by listening to a few sound effects. " It got to the po int where I thought if I heard onol! more Universal Studio's door slam I'd go crazy," he recalls. Another example of a well-worn sound- library 1tem is. a " thunderclap and roll " from the original ver· sion of " Frankenstein.'' recorded in 1931 and used over and over again since, 1n everything from "Star Trek It! " to Disneyland's Haunted. Mansion . It's a cfassic recording, says McDonough , but w1th today 's equipment it's possible to make much more effective sound cues. To illustrate. he plays a thunderclap and roll that blows the listener across the room . He made tape himself. w ith a Nagra 45 -(a mov1e induStry standard for most remOte recording situations) and a pair of Electro--Voice RE-20 microphones, whi le productng Bradbury 13.

Terry got her bachelor's degree· in education in 1972 and later her master's degree at the State Univer· sity of New York at Buffalo. Just after receiving her teachi ng certificate and before attending graduate school, she took a teaching position at one of Buffalo's tougher schools where the job lasted less than six weeks. " !left having no idea of what kind of work I was going to do after that ," she said . " I really d~spaired . I thought: I'm 21 and I'm already a failure at my chosen career! " She spent some time trying out various jobs in the Buffalo area until she heard about an opening at WBFO for a host of a show called Women Power wh ich Terry descri bed as "a magazine of women's issues rang ing from health to relat ionships to politics." That was followed by a show called Signet to Noise. "a program of interviews with artists who worked with electronic mediums:· Finally Terry worked on the magcizine show Th is Is R•dlo which she co-produced . Said Terry, "When I worked at WBFO I really thought it was an extrordinary station. And looking back at it , I S till think it was an extraord inary station .. .Another thing I'll always be thankful for is • that station really taught me high standards." Terry obviously continues in the tradition of hard work ..and a lot of effort , as the results will show. She has one of the most up-and-up shows on the Philadelph ia airwaves. and there seems to be no end in sight. Her plans for the future include a lot more of Fresh Air. "We want to produce a show that people will enjoy listening to!" Fresh Air, will air on WBFO Fridays at 12:30 p.m. beginning April 12.

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

A The group was addressed by Donald S. Kreger. a public safety officer representing University Police Local I 792. Thc>union represents officers and investi ators, he explained. There is a crime problem on campus, Kreger con- tended. Campus officers face the same kinds of incidents that face the Buffalo and Amherst po lice, he indicated. Campus officers are also required to take the same tests and go through the same training - including firearms training - as the municipal officers. he said. · But when it is~uspected that weapons are involved in a call, campus officers won' respond because they don' hav.e firearms and don' feel safe, Kreger said. They will call the Amherst or Buffalo police to respond. "Our officers don' feel safe anymore," Kreger contended. ·•tf we suspect th ere's a weapon involved. we're not going. Where does that leave the general public? "I want to be able to do my job. But I'm not going to risk my life if the University doesn't care about us. It doesn' really app,.ar as though th ey care about us." Earlier appeals by public safety officers for use of weapons both here and at Buffalo State drew no suppan from top campus administrators. · Kreger offered statistics in support of what he called UB's crime problem. There were more than 1,500 crimes on both campuses in 1984, accord ing to his figures. Numbers aren't as indicative as is a look at the type of incidents, he went on. These have included robbery, rape, weapons possession and homicide. Knives, a handgun and a sawed-off shotgun have been used , he said. ..

That suits some people just fine. he said. It goes along with what he calls the -New York Syndrome."" -That"s where Big Brother knows 11est,"' he explained. "'and authority up high is better than individual authority."' People will grouse when someone elst makes the decisions, but it saves them from taking responsi bility- it's safe, he said . In Barry'sylan, there would be a head of the undergraduate college who has the aulllority to bring the college together. The faculties would be eliminated, so departments would have to accept responsibi\jty, he-said. The ro~ of DUE is especially conf mg m both the ADCAS and present systems, he said. "If you try and describe what DUE does, I swear, no one could tell you,'"' he contended. he big problem with DUE is that it dido\ have a budget, he said. It was supposed to have power over all of undergraduate education., but it got its resources through the deans. When funds got tight and the deans didn't want to hand over the money, DUE had no power. Funding for the undergraduate college in Bunn's proposal is not clear, Barry said. Barry noted that it sounds a·s if the college wouldn ~ have its own budget, but when he asked that question, he didn't get a satisfactory answer. ''M-ake the animal sim ple and give it some teeth," is Barry's guideline on the undergraduate college. He thinks it's important for the college to have its own budget. · "Money is teeth," he said. Not everybody would be picked to teach in the undergraduate college, he maintains. Those chosen would be paid out of college funds. Barry's proposed structure doesn't conflict with U B's goal of becoming one T of the top research un iversities in the country he said. His structure is the same as thos~ used at the University of Arizona the University of Colorado, Cal/ Davi~. the University of Florida, the University of Georgia and Texas A&M- the institutions which are descnbed as our aspirational peers, he said. Some people are concerned that teaching will interfere with their research. Those kinds of attitudes are fine in the graduate schools, but not th e undergraduate college, .he indicated. " Resea rch for its own sake that's not linked to teaching is not a concern of the undergraduatecolleg~ ... he said. "It is not an issue if the goal ts student-centered undergraduate teaching." .. Other people s~e his structure as pos!ng problems when tt comes to promotion and tenure, but Barry disagrees. Instead of writing one letter, the department chair would simply write two. One on teaching would go to the head of the undergraduate college and one on research would go to the ~raduateschool. "At last, built into the System, is so mething that says teaching actually counts," he said. "When a good researcher who is a rotten teacher iS denied tenure, we 11 know it's working." said that more than restructuring is needed. B"I arry don't want to create just a new administrative structure, but a plan of action to respond to the community's needs for education,'" he said . This plan would iriclvde '"integrative education" where arts and sciences majors would be required to take a minor in a technical field. Likewise, those majoring in technical fields would have to minor in arts and sciences. Because of demographics, the University will probably be admitting students who need remedial education, Barry said . A remedial education office would be a function of the undergraduate college, not shunted off on the math or English deyartments. The changes he proposed have to be made to make the University attracti ve to undergraduates, Barry maintains. "We have to make it clear to the community that they can get the education they can't get elsewhere because we have more resources," he said, "and that we use those resources for their benefit, not our own"' 0 Arming From page 7 students.

Two unrelated sexual abuse incidents occurred on the Main Street and Amherst campuses during the same week in February, Kreger pointed out. The incident on the Amherst Camp us is believed to be related to a series of similar assaults that have occurred in the past year in the Ellicott Complex. At the beginning of March, a man wanted for the murder of a Westchester County police officer had been on the Main Street Campus visiting a student. The suspect allegedly stole the car of a Mount Vernon woman wh.o has been missing si nce Feb. 25 . It is theorized that the suspect may have worn a .. wig" made from her scalp to cross the border into Canada. He was captured in Toronto. Generally, the serious offenses are not committ.ed by students, but by career criminals, Kreger said. The criminals know UB is "an easy place to rip orr· where they can get expensive typewriters and com puler equi_pment, he said. because we are not armed and we wear brown uniforms," Kreger said. "They don't think of us as real police. People don't understand that we 're already trained."' reger said he can't promise that the crime rate on campus will go down if campus officers are armed. Three SUNY campuses have armed officers. At Oswego, there was a drastic reduction in the crime rate after the arming of officers; a.t Brockport, there was a reduction, but at Albany, the rate continued to rise, he said . Kreger asserts that the ca es campus officers face ·are the same type that Amherst or Buffalo police see. However, since campus officers aren 't 1lrmed, they must call in the municipal police, Kreger said. .. The Main Street Campus~s located in Precinct 16," he said. "That's the largest and busiest precinct in the city. The Buf(aJo Police aren't waiting around for us to call."' Kreger argued that the municipal police often don't know their way around the campuses. Campus officers have to go through the same tests and training as municipal officers, Kreger said. The campus officers must hav.e a college degree before tak ing the civil service test, while municipal officers (except in Nassau County) need only a high school diploma, he reported. · Then the campus officers take the same K enerally. comments at the meeting were sympathetic to Kreger's stand . It was suggested, however. that he get more figures to back up his case. It was also suggested that he work for some sort of compromise of his request for 24-houra~ay arming. John Ellison of the School of Information and Library Studies suggested that instead of having the officers carry firearms, it would be a better idea to have the weapons in the car. Kreger noted that would pose a problem of people breaki ng into the cars. It was also suggested that the weapons could be locked up in some central location and checked out when needed. The problem with that is that the officers never know when guns will be needed, Kreger,said. " Last week we confiscated five knives from people,"' he said. "Until we got there, we didn't know they were armed.'' Richard Siggelkow, professor of counseling and educational psychology, suggested the use of"'stun guns." Kreger said the problem with those devices is that the officer must be right next to the person to use it. It works well for somebody who is out of control because of drugs, but if the person is armed , it's not useful, Kreger said. Bill Barba, assistant dean of the Graduate School, said that he had been assistant to the president at _Canisius College . After several violen t crir:Qes, that college decided to arm its police. He is not aware of any misuse of the arms, Barba said . If a crime occurred in someone 's home, that person wouldn't expect the Amherst Police to arrive with a nightstick. Barba . noted. "We have this mystique of the ivory tower," he said . '"Because we don't want deviant behavior, we lhink it won't happen." • Michael Frisch; professor of history, said that more public safety cars, better communication equipment, _better lighting on campus, and more officers _would help fight crime, but he questioned G whether arms are needed . 'Tm not saying arms will do it all," Krege r answered . "But we can't deal with the violent crimes that do occ;._ur." He added that public safety was promised five more "lines" or employee positions, and now they've heard they may get only one or two. With the campus unrest of 1970 still fresh in several faculty members' minds, the question arose several times on whether arming campus officers might make the campus more dangerous. " I t's an emotional issue as well as a logical issue," noted Faculty Senate Chairman Dennis Malone. "A lot of people think it will build in a potential ·for a Kent State."' Kreger said that New York is the only state that doesn't routinely arm its campus police. There's never been an incident in the nation where a campus officer used a weapon improperly, he said . [The Kent State incident was attributed to national guard personnel.] The strongest criticism by far came from Benjamin Sanders of the Department of Biochemistry. He noted that private citizens, who have no training, will so metimes go into a dangerous situation to help someone in need. If the campus officers don 't answer these kind s of calls, "'you're not doing your job. "' he told Kreger. Calvin Ritchie of Chemistry said that the University must decide what son of a job it wants public safety to do. If UB wants the officers only to give out park- ing tickets, it 's fine to ask them to do that without arms. But if they want the offic· ers to protect people, they should have the tools to do that, Ritchie said . Questions arose on what sort of gun!!. the officers wou ld use and in what situations they would be permitted. Kreger explained that those rules are set out in SUNY -wide guidelines. In addition, the campus would establish its own, more restrictive rules, he said. He feels sure that those rules would not permit firing at "fleeing felons ," but otily to protect the life of the officer or someone else. Some of the SUNY rules are: • When written authorization is given to campus officers to carry firearms on duty, the weapon is to be a state-owned, not less than .38-caliber revolver. • A campus security officer may draw and fire the weapon when all reasonable means for protection of the officer and / or others in his presence have been exhausted and such action is necessary to defend the officer or another person from what is believed to be the use or imminent use of deadly fo rce. (The weapon may also be drawn for training and c lea ning. and another set of rules govern those uses). • · • Firearms are not to be worn while working with crowds, whether or not the gatherings are violent, unless specifically authorized by the chief admmistrati ve officer. • Campus officers may not fire warning shots. 0 REHSED LIBRARY SCHEDULE T he ~ollo~ing list indicates changes in University Libraries' hours in conjunct ton. with the revised academic calendar of Spring 1985.

T Geologists & engineers study how ice affects state's shorelines By MILT CARLl ver hear of an .. ice volcano?" That's one of the many aspects of "nearshore ice dynamics" being st ud ied by a team of research scientists and students at UB . The resea rch project is being conducted under a three-year. $165.000 contract from the New York Sea Grant Institute , which is operated by Sta te University of New York and Cornell University to st udy the state's coastal problems, both inland and along the Atlantic shoreline, and to aid in the development and management of marine and coastal resources.

Ice, of course, is one of the problems. that plague New York State's in land coastal areas, causing shoreline erosion, disruplion of shipping and fishing each winter, and destruction of docks and other shoreline structures in its path.

They svggest that the process might be initiated by a "standing edgewave," with growth of the mounds "maintained by ordinary onshore lake waves."

T he d isplay is in Lockwood Memorial Library , in the second floor reference section. The term ··end paper'' refe rs to the inside of the cover and the faci ng.page as o ne opens a b"'!k. During the ! 9th ce n- tury, it was commqn practice to o~corate these pages att hefro11t and Jw;k of books wit h colorful and qtricate l?atterns known as marbling. Tile marbhng was · o riginally da ne by ha nd, a nd it developed int o a skilled t rade. Each cou ntry created its own patterns, and each artist devised his own styles. T he marbled pa per was made by droppi ng colors onto a gel solution in a shallow vat a nd a rranging the colors into the desired pauem wit h a comb. Paper was gently laid onto the surface of t his solu- tion until the colors trans(erred to the pa per. Each style demanded its own lillie variation in the arrangement of dyes. oils, and che micals. The steps taken to make t he shell pat· tern give a ~ood exam ple of the int ricacies of the enure process. First t he ground colors were chosen and t hen made into rings of circles o n the gel in the vat. Next olive oil was added, then combed and swi rled into the desired finish . Paper was put on top of the gel until the pauern set m. Afte r drying. the paper was ready fo r use and given to the bookbinders. A style known as Stormont originated in Italy·, and is characterized by the impressio n it gives of le avi ng tiny holes in a pattern . The effect was achie ved by sprinkling turpentine on the gel before the paper was d ipped into th e vat. Myth has it that Sto rmont paper was discovered by a wo rker wh o was suffering from a terrible han gover, and with trembling hand s accidentally spilled the tur· pentine into a vat. The nonpareil or comb pattern was used in many countries si nce it was the base pattern for many different styles. A special comb was used to whirl colors in a vat from side to side. Then the full patterns were developed which suggested peacocks, curlicues, and shells. he Lockwood endpapers exhibit was assembled by Associate Librarian Marilyn Haas. Haas explained that each lib ranan is given the opponunity to plan a display for the lobby of Lockwood. Since old books have always been fascinating to her, she decided the marbled endpapers would be an ideal to pic to high light. She emphasized that these books are not of any great value. "All of the books for the ex hibit came right from the shelves of Lockwood. That's how 1 arrived at the title ' Everyday Elegance.' • According to Haas, it was relatively easy to find the boo ks o n the shelves beca use th e s pines of the I).Pol<s.Jt[e.usJl_· ally indicat ive of marOiinl!. ~ Th e demise of the decorat ive endp apers began when the switc.h was mad e from handmade to machine marbling. The mach ine marbling wasn't as attractive as the handcrafted · papers. Also. after the inve ntion of book binding machines, these endpapers became unpop:Jiar with printers. The papers with dyes and pat· terns were much more difficult to machine bind than regular rag or pulp, making it a ·more expensive process. So the changing tastes of the con umercombined with economic considerations led to the decline in the use o f marbled endpapers.

Hts remarks are pnnted below. By BR UCI~.JACKSON asked if I would speak about the Iandwas relationship between my own work Michel Foucaull's and if I would say something about the applicability of Foucault's wo rk to the fields l know. First the persona\ part. We met here in Buffa l o in the l ate 1960s. UB was an interesting place in those years: the faculty was yo ung and energetic and ambitious, th ere was enough money for interesting visitors who found here a kind of conversation that made many of them want to come back again and again. This was. then. one of Foucault's favorite places. II was for him what Rio de Janeiro became for him in the next decade: a place to get away from the clutter of Paris and talk to people he liked about things that mattered , a place that was real and important and full of energy and curiosity, a place to hang out. He was an important thinker whose work mattered to my own, but he was also a frie nd . On numerous occasio ns he provided on his own initiative wonderfu l professional generosi ty. Mi chel wrote the preface for one of my books in the Terre Humaine series and he invited Diane [Christian] and me to the College de France to screen Death Row and to discuss our worlc . He arranged for us to spend a day at Poissy, a French prison not far from from Pans. He accompanied us to and helped us survive a horribly bungled press conference in Place Bastille. The meeting I remember best was one June evening when he cooked d inner for us in his rue Garanciere flat and we talked about writing and teaching and about the difficulty of finding good • translators (Michel's I. Pierre Riviere. having the inside and as an occasion for d iscussing repressive politics from th e outside. My writing about the prison world was bifurcatesf in the American way: in academic pages I was objective and analytical: in public pages I was political and often polemicaL Michel, in a way that may be es pecially French , was able to combine a ll of those modes of discourse. Politics for him was so central an aspect of society it was never separable. Our discussions about our different takes on the sarne structure and process were. I think , mutually informing. Michel kne"" slaughtered my mother. my sister. and the .bistoricallogic of the world of represmy brother... had just been published ill' sio n and control far better than I, and I English and my Leurs prisons had just knew the practical aspects of that life in been published in French; both books : far more detail than he.

We conversations, th at things I considered talked about power in government and . idiosyncratic and specific were perhaps power in the university and power in the universal and paradigmatic. several institutions we knew directly. (We were all professors , su pported by governmen t institutions. Diane had spe nt e told us that he and some friends years in a convent, and she and I had only had been so successful in their work a few weeks earlier done field work in an with prisoners in one French prison that Arkansas prison farm . And Foucault 's the inmates had, shortly after one of their Survei/ler et punir had just been pubvisits, gone on strike and then had a riot. lished by Gallimard.) "A nd what happened to them next?" I In the 1960s and early 1970s we both asked him. were involved with prisons, though for " What?" he said . . differe nt reasons and in different ways. "What happened to them next?" I We both wrote about them. Michel saw asked again. prison as a manifestation of a pa~adig­ "They underswod.'" Michel said, in matic idea of social order and I saw ll as a English. way to examine operative c~l ture from My question had to do with practical H and co rporal mailers: What did the guard s do to the bodies of those prisoners after the famous intellectuals left and took with them their immediate access to the French press? Michel's answer had to do with the utility of discourse: for him next was a state of perception that broke radically with the state of ex perience preceding it. We both knew there was no point carrying this one further, though I doubt either of us knew why. At the time I ascribed Michel's abstract response to h_is naivete. But Foucault was surely not nai ve. Then, a year or two later, I ascribed it to his love of talk. Talk is, after all, as basic a French activity and product as the making or drinking of wine. If an American asks another American, .. What were you doing?" and gets for an answer ..Talking," the first American responds, " Talking about what?" I think few French in tellectuals would see that fo llowup question about to pic as at all . necessary. We Americans need a subject to justify or legitimize or ratify the encounter, but for the French intellectual, talk can be its owrtjustification and quality of discourse its own ratification; a subject is merely th e occasion. Then I decided that wasn ~ it either. I was still trivialiring. If Michel wanted conv~ersation , the cafes of Patjs offered a more convenient ambiance. and if he · ~anted_ merely.to utt.er without interrupuon , h1s salle 10 the College provided a more adoring and atten tive audience. Now I think it was his benign pessimism. He knew that few actS of any Kind and even fewer volitio nal acts change anything ve ry much . The radical discontinuities in human consciousness Fou· cault was so good at revealing were never the result of mere decisions and they were never apparent to the individuals affected by them most directly. The ideas that profoundly intersect our lives make sense later, not before. He wou ld argu.e that o ur individual triumphs are pred1· cated not on mastering the orders that surround and infuse our worlds, but r"ather on understanding them. We always lose the quoti dian baHles; all the manipulators of power in all the fields of power-Foucault examined were th emselves subject to other manipu lators of power; peace and absolute power existed nowhere, and Death, after all, closes all the conversations. But it isn 't the Silences, the denouements of the conversations, that being sensate and thinking_human being 1is all about. Those pnsoners. Michel felt , now beller understood the nature of what he perceived as the~r oppression, what he thought was th~IT condi t ion . Whatever the guards . d1d after the intellectuals went home, the conviets would petforee be happier. If the prisoners saw their condi tion mad~ better. they would understand the'trans!ence and irrelevance of that betterment: 1f the guards became more brutal, the prisoners a �March 14, 1985 Volume 16 No. 22 would better understand the transience ~nd irrel~vance of that marginal increase bru_tahty. Knowing, he said on another occ~wn, may not change what is going on; It. alw_ays changes the meaning of what ts gomg on. tn isto~y is ~n art based on d_iscoverY of H the mevttable, and in that regard , f~r me, Foucault is one of the greatest of htstonans. He provides a wonderful and grand logic for moments of inspiration that are otherwise anomalous o r flukey or idiosyncratic. It is Foucault. for example, more than any historian of nationalism or any scholar of folklore, who makes sense oft he Brothers Grimm . Foucault points out that it is the discovery of a linguistics of language as spoken rather than the reaniculation of a language as writlcn that ennobles the peasant voices the Grimms elected to record. Grimmsian Nationalism is an application of that transition and perception, not the cause of it. Foucault, in the same c,xt rao rd inary essay, likewise provides us cobtexts in which Compte and Marx and 'Freud beco=not only explainable, but probab and reasonable. Scholars in my two fields - criminology and folklore - have made lillie use of Foucault. The anthropologist Clifford Geertz has written intelligently of him, but I know of few other anthropologists who have been ,at all comfortable with or receptive to Foucault's imagination . Perhaps it is because most scholars in those fields are still very much in the Linnaean phase of development: they are so much mvol ved in rtie description of behavior and the discernment of categories th ey have not yet had t ime to examine the character of behavior or acknowledge th e parochialism of categories. The part of Foucault's work I like most and have found most useful is his insistence that we examine things for the o rder of which they are a pan rather than the anomalies they seem to be ... I tried , .. he wrote in the foreword to the English edition of Les Mots et /es chases [The Order of Things]. "to explore scientific discourse not from the point of view of the individ uals who are speaking. no r fro m the point of view of the formal structures of what th ey a re saying. but fro m the point of view o f the rules t hat co me into play in the very existence of such discourse. . . " In social scie nce, in all th e scie nces fo r that matter, limn ing the o dd o r exce ptional or beautiful is easy. Studies that describe murder o r perversio n o r war o r disease are plentiful and unamb iguo us and often boring. Seeing such things or momen ts as one with the o rd inary is no t easy at all. What Foucault did so well was look at things and say "What is the structure or o rd e r in which 1his makes se nse?" rather than "Here's something o dd o r peculiar: sit st ill wh ile I tell yo u ab out it. " oucault is one of th e few socia l an alysts whose wo rk regularly un fi ts readers to continue loo king a t things o r ideas or instituti o ns in the same way. His archaeologies uncove r sensible o rd er in what previously seemed slo ppiness o r incompetence or foolishness o r malevolence or randomness. Foucault insists that the present can never full y explain . itself: each moment necessarily inco rporates and responds to the detritus of the past , howeverdisco ntinJJOUS the relatio nship. If nothing else, as Geertz pointed out, the present mo ment occ upi es the F space carved and shaped and abandoned by the previous moment. ~II ou r instituti ons, however deplorable o r puzzling their current behavior, make sense, but the sec ret _oft he order is not foun d merely ~y watchmg and measuring the institutiOns as they perfonn their daily work. Rather. one must carefully un cover the fragments of thought that have made them _w hat they have become. It is hardly surpnsmg that many scho lars in the human sciences pretend Foucault is opaque but in fact find him in to lerable and dangerous. His subject was not the variou s ways in which we make · sense of the world , though he wrote well of those processes. but rather the processes by wh ich we made the world se nsible. Not what we thought , but how we thought. He is the historian of the architectonics of facts. not of facts themselves. The prison ma ttered for Foucault because o f what it revealed of the order that required us to have a priso n: the disco very o f madnes s mattered to Fo ucault because ~ of what that di sco very implied abo ut the nature oft he civilizat ion that need ed madness to define itself. .

The invest igation , conducted by Rodney L. Doran, Ph.D .• professor of science education at UB, and Willard J . Jacobson of Teachers College, Columbia University, found that boys consistently outscore girls in their knowledge of science, with the greatest discrepancy occurring in the physical sciences area. " It's disappointing, but whether we like it or not the gender gap is still there in science achievement,... Doran remarked. The study, pan of the Second International Science Study, involved tests of fifth and ninth grade students and twelfth graders enrolled in physics and those not studying science. Similar tests were administered by researchers to students in 24 other countries, incl ud ing China, .Japan. England. and Australia. An analysis of how students fared in science compared to peers in other countries should he completed next year. Doran and J acobson found that performance disparity between boys and girls widened as thrir grade level increased, except for twelfth grade physics st udents, who showed the smallest gender difference. One reason for this finding, Doran speculates, is that girls-generally begin to stop taking science courses "as soon as they can," often after biology. However, when girls do continue with their science education and receive the same classroom and lab experiences as boys, they do well. 3](~f··:9:. ·O·p . ·o. t is no coincidence that boys in the fifth grade performed better on questions Iconcerning familiar objects in their high, she will not he_ able to go on to advanced setence studtes Without doing a lot of basic catch-up work. environment. For instance, more fifth grade boys than girls knew about the correct placement of batteries in a flash tight, the reason why a thrown ball comes back to the ground, and how fish get oxygen. Girls, on the other hand, did better on questions concerning a balanced diet, knowledge of seeds, and why a rubbed comb can pick up small bits of paper. At the fifth grade level, boys outperformed girls on 53 items, and girls scored better on four. Ninth grade boys outscored girls on 65 items, versus three for females. Here again, ninth grade girls did better on biology-related questions, such as those dealing with seed germination, heredity, and t he location of human organs, while boys scored higher on all physical science items. Twelfth grade boys scored better o n all core test i tem ~ except one. The gender gap in the sciences worries Doran. He had hoped that since 1970, when the First International Science Study was conducted, girls would have made more headway in science achieve~ ment relative to boys. Instead, the researchers found that while science achievement, in general, is up since the first study, girls still sadly lag behind boys. "Whenever we lop off a portion of the population early on, we reduce their opportunities and we lose their talents,"' he commented. And the problem is not easily solved, .Doran adds, because science, like mathematics, is learned sequentially. This mea~s tha~ when !! youn11 w_o m.an stops taking scu:nce courses m JUntor ust why girl~ fare w~rs~ than boys in th~ hard sc1ences IS a complicated quesuon. It's probably not for a lack of models guesses Doran, since 65 per cent of ele: menta.ry school teachers are women and at least in the last decade, as many females are depicted in science texts as males. Moreover, ec;iucators as a group are str.ongly comrntttc:d to equality of educat1on and are not likely to mtemion· ally discriminate against females in their classrooms. . What may he the problem, he theonzes, IS that elementary school teachers are .not as strong. i~ the scien~es as they are 10 the humamues and soctal ciences areas. Because they are not ··science confident," Doran suspects, they rely on pa>siv~ .. book Iear:ning., in~ea~ of engaging t~eu ~tudents 10 .more acuve learning·• sttuauons such as demonstrations. where they can get hands on experience. A cti'~ learning can be panicularly helpful for gtrls, who frequently lack experience in handling or manipulating gadget and objects. To help elementary teachers become more science confident, Doran sugge!ILs. that schdol districts develop in-service programs that, for example. could show teachers "bow to integrate science into a reading or writing lesson. Instead of reading about Dic:Ic and Jane going to the store, it might he more l!eneficial for students to read about Dick and Jane conducting a simple experiment or doing something in their environment, Doran submits.

Basic attitudes towards science have to be modified, so any change will likely occur incrementally, over a period of years. Right or wrong, society has put science on the back burner, says Doran, and it will take some time before tbat trend is reversed. Meanwhile, parents may be able to belp tbeir dauabters in science achievement by paying more attention to tbe toys tbey buy tbem. Instead oftca sets, parents might consider a flashlight or an aqua- rium, which can serve as info.m I teaching aids. "Perhaps we haven l yet learned that girls can handle and play with the same material as boys, and vice versa,'' Doran asserted. While Doran believes students should be encouraged to take science courses, he isn l convinced that mandating students to take more oftbem will improve science achievement. "If all we do is offer the same kinds of science courses to students who aren't science prone, then it won't work," he ~H,OH fH~ c- - o c IJr H - OH I \ H/ I c----c i H secretarial lines. Rather than wait four months to get a manuscript typed, some professors are now typing the&r own." Other science departments have been able to blunt the effect of similar cutbacks by shifting federal money to underwrite support services. But until very recently the primary granting agency for mathematics research, the National Science Foundation, funded little more than summer salaries. and that only for tbe most distinguished scholars in the country. "The funding reductions hit math harder than any other science," says Coburn. Though NSF has responded positively to the David Report, federal money at U B currently supports the equivalent of only 2.5 math research assistants for a faculty of 41 members. By contrast, the Mechanical an d Aerospace Engineering Dep artm en t , with 25 members. has 15 research assistants. Given th e nature of mathematics and the present low level of fede ral support. Coburn is co ncerned about an ind ex of departmental success th ai' places too much weight on the ability to attract outside funds. Coburn agrees with the David Report that the peculiar nature of mathematics research an<j lack of foresight and political savvy in th'e mathematics community contributed to the problem. "For almost two "decades the attitudes of funding agencies and university administrators bad been 'they11 do it anyway,' meaning that because we don' rely on expensive hardware and student labo r like other sciences, we,l go on with our research With or without financial support," says Coburn. By and large that was true, he admits. Mathematicians remained strangely silent while teaching loads inc reased advises. Instead, Doran would like to see different kinds of science courses developed to attract students, courses that stress knowledge transfer and address the interface between science and technology and emphasize human and ecological concerns. "Educators once assumed that if you taught a student science, the- student would be able to apply the classroom experience to a real world situation. But transfer of learning is difficult. It must be taught and experienoed," he advises. 0 H, /~ -O-C H H I NAZI LEGACY: KLAUS BARBIE AND THE INTERNATIONAL FASCIST CONNECTION h) MagnuJo Lin l..l:uer, ! ~bel Hihun. :aod Neal Aschersnn ( Holt.

" We also were hurt by our aloofness from applications like computer science," Coburn observes. "The computer was invented by mathematicians. The computer age could've done for mathematics what the atomic age did for physics." Instead, mathematics and computer science went separate ways, the latter taking thousands of poteniial math majors with it. "The computer age .could have done for math what the atomic age did for physics." "R ecruitment is now very difficult," reports Coburn: "There aren l enough Americans with Ph.D.'s to fill the available assista nt professorship openings in the country." As a result, salaries have increased considerably in recent years. The job crisis likely will worse_n I H before it improves: a large number of senior mathematicians - including the brillia nt European emigres largely responsible for the post World War II renaissance in .U.S. mathematics will retire over the next decade or so. According to Gerald R. Rising, Ph.D., UB professor of learning and instruction and director of the University's Gifted Math Program, which provides special instruction to seventh to twelfth graders identified as being gifted in math, tbe classroom has been no less affected than research. "We've lost a generation of high quality mathematicians while the actual number of math st udents has increased,·· he contends. Undergraduate education is threatened. A teacher with a Ph.

Both men express hope that NSF will continue to implement the recommendations of tbe Davi\1 Report, that tbe Universit}• will recognize aod support the essential contribution of mathe111atics to all science and technol- · ogy. and that the mathematics community will remain vigilant to prevent the calamity of the last 15 years from happening agam. 0 LIFE AND DEATH tN PSYCHOANALYStS by Jean Laplanchc (Johns Hopkins University Press, S9.9S).

Michii leads an adventure in the learning of Japanese "I - By CONN I E O SWA L D STOF K O think it's kind of an adve nturous co ncept ," said D r.

The program in volves 13 seniors from the district's three high schools who meet from 12:30 to 2:45p.m. each weekday that "s t h ree class period s a day. The emphasis of the program is on culture. " It's a pretty structured way to approach culture, .. Michii said. For instance, students learn that in E nglish, ab out 85 per cent of the message is conveyed by bod y language, whi le only about 30 per cent is relayed that way in Japanese. They learn that the subtleties of a cui· ture can extend to such simple things as getting up from a chair.

She is assisted in teaching by Buffalo· born Patrick Santillo, a grad uate st udent in the economics depart ment at UB. He took Japanese at Georgetown University, traveled to Japan twice, and has degrees from the Asian Studies Program at American University, Michii said. .. American teache rs of Japanese are always scarce," she said. "You can get native speakers, but they're not trai ned to teach.'' Michii feels fortunate to have found Santillo. ·· He's·a superb teacher and the students like him," she said. "They like an American who has been through the same agony learning the language ... Santillo aJso teaches in Michii's Japanese language program at North Tonawanda High School, now in its sixth or seventh year, she said. ern cultures tend to keep the body and head in a straight line and rise more vertically than Westerners do, she said.

An American st udent wh o is taking Spanish, French, or German can transfer some of his or her English ideas to that language and even guess at the meanings of so me words. " But Japanese is totall y different," she said. "The lang uage uses Chinese characters. You need 2,000 to read a newspaper, $5,000 a year for four years for the pro· plus 50 phonetic signs ... JO:.=B:..::S;___ __ paper o n t he topic of t hei r choice. In additi on , each sign has a meaning which st udents are expected to learn. ichii said she made it clear to parents not to expect the kind of proficiency that comes wi th studyi ng other languages. "Japanese is painstaking." she said . .. It takes maybe four times as long to learn." Michii sees the high school program as a chance to wo rk with students when their yo un g minds are flexible and willing to examine another culture and way of thinking. " We want to ex pand the horizo n of consciousness - to have them see things another way," she said. " It 's like an Alice in Wonderland ex perience. You start from nothing. It's a total re-creation of self. " M The students learn lhrough films, gram . Right now the program is being funded by a grant that was originally secured by BOCES (The Board o f Cooperative Educat ional Services). BOCES turned the project over to the Williamsville School District when it became too much to adm inister on such a wide scale, Michii said. Michii commends the Williamsville School District for its part in the Japanese program . The PTA, faculty, and pare nts have all bee n very supportive, she said. "It"s a good advertiseme nt of the schoo l system itself, "'she added . "' It sacri- ficed a lot of things for the program." For instance. the district provides a bus so j ust two of the students can get from one high school over to Williamsvill e orth Higll School where the classes are held. And the school had to rework ti metables so student s co uld fit the class into their schedules. "It's a big commitment on the part of the school system, " she sai d . ··so I feel a heavy burden o n my shoulders."" In addition to helping them learn about Jaanese language and culture, Michii has other goals for her high school students. She would l ike t o make their speakers, and workshops in art, politics, eco no mics and labor st ructure. At the end of the year, they must submit a short education a positive, rewarding experie nce, rather than a discouraging one.

The title of the book renects Davis' tend to follow my dreams to the sweet or bitter end, "said James P. Davis, graduate of UB Law School and author of two oooks desire to reach rginortiy and disadvantaged stu9ents with his message. intended to help others realize the .dream of becoming a lawyer. How to Make it Through Law School: A Guide for Minority and Disadvantaged Students was published in 1982; How 10 Pass 1he Bar Exam is expected to be in print within the next three months. Davis, a native of South Carolina, has a B.A. in French literature from South Carolina State College and a master's in French from the University of Illinois. " I found out about UB's Law School when I came to Buffalo to visit my sister. I was able to find an evening joQ which made it possible for me to go to school in the daytime, and still work full-time," Davis explained. The ability to work full-tqne while attending school was critical fu Davis who has a wife and six children. Davis describes the-law school here as a positive and challenging experience. "Law school is made up of the creme de Ia creme; everyone is bright and the competition is keen from the very fir>t day," he said. · Davis found law school to be quite different from undergraduate study; it requires higher quality work and a greater commitment. "You need to be competent when you come out," Davis said. " You'll be handling the affairs of the people in society." The pressures on the law student are enormous, but Davis did find that help was available . .. Like most law schools UB puts you on yo ur own, but it is unique in the respect that it does give some help through the first year - professors are readily available and some of them will have 'brown bag meetings' where you eat your lunch and discuss law," Davis said. In general, Davis noted that UB professor> were very hel~ful and ded icated to their role in disciplinmg the lawyers of the future. "They want you to deve lop a love for the law and they want you above all to be competent," he said. Desptte the fact that as he puts it, a "disproportionate number of minority law students fail or. drop out," Davis completed UB's law program in 1981. "Law school gave me a tool that some people call a loaded cannon, but I've promised myself, my family, and my God that I will only use it for the benefit of o thers and not for detrimen t or gain," Davis said. intended to motivate the reader; to get the student to analyze his / her reason for being in law school and to make a commitment. The student is told "once you have made the decision, no matter how many slings and arrows try to break yo ur spirit, nothing will ever hurt you. " "Rarely do you have books and especially 'how to' manuals written by minorities for minorities," Davis explained. "The book was designed to fill that gap and. at the same time to show o ther minorities that it is possible to realize your dreams . .. _ It's possible to succeed in law school. .. . This book is designed to be their companion along the way." Davis defines a ..disadvantaged student" as one who lacks educational and social advan tages. This is the stud ent who has little or no.experience with a .. melting pot" atmosphere before coming to law school. "The realistic and practical point is that the disadvantagement has to end if you're going to be a competent lawyer in this kind of society," Davis said.

The book also advises against the indiscriminate · use of "horn books," manuals which are designed to help the student analyze statutes, cases, and legal opini ons. .. Once you become dependent on them it weakens your ability to anal~ze ; use them as an aid ,_ not a crutch , Davis counsels. ) Davis' work is dedicated to Professors Jacob Hyman, J oseph Laufer, Nils Olsen and Virginia Leary. He describes all these individuals as helpful and encouraging during his progression through law school. The book is published by Conch Magazi ne , Limited, and is available through the publisher or at the University Bookstore. The role of writer is o nly an avocation for Davis who has worked for the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) for II years. He currently serves as assistant director for career planning and placement. EOC is a non-degl"!e-, non-credit~ granting institution administered by UB. An average of 900 students arc served each semester. "The EOC was established in 1973 to provide vocational. technica l training and college prep courses for the educationally and financially disadvantaged," Davis explained. Davis practices law on a part-time basis. He specializes in night court - traf~ fie cases. misdemeanors - and limited family coun cases. Davis has accomplished the goals he set ror himself and is proud eno ugh of that fact to want to share his experience with the world. "If! can be successful with my kind of background and family responsibilities and I let others know this, hopefully it will encourage and motivate them to c~n~ tinue to strive, hope, pray . and work," Davis said .

"Ai f>S ," or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a disorder in which the body's natural immune system is damaged, red ucing its abi lity to fight off infect ions and disease. It is a frightening ill ness, leaving most AI DS patients dead within two years of diagnosis. '' As far as we can tell, AIDS first appeared in 1979," explained Hewitt. "Smce then, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of new cases - there were 4.000 new cases in 1984 alone." Hewi tt noted that there are several groups of peoJ!le who have demonstrated high risk of 'Con tracting the disease. "There are a few s~ ll grQiij>s - Haitian patients make up fi per cent of AIDS vict ims. hemophiliacs ake up o nl y one per cent ..while admitted users of intravenous drugs make up 15 to 20 per cent. The largest high-risk group is homosex· ual or bisexual men, who m~ke up 73 per cent of all AIDS victims." Hewitt warned , however, against viewing t he ill ness as purely a disease of homosexuals, isolated only in large cit ies with large gay populations such as New York , San Francisco or Miami . "AIDS is not merely a problem in these cities, it is a problem in the country, "' he warned. " It is here - it is part of Western New York. In the course of two or three yea rs, 17 cases have been diagnosed right here in Buf· falo. When A IDS cases fi rst started being reported i"n New Yo rk State in 1982, there we re 53 new cases per month . This baS rise n to 120 new cases in 1985. New York State has the highest number of AIDS cases in the country." While there is definite cause for alarm in the increased frequency and in the severity of the disease, there is no evidence that AIDS can be contracted through casual contact with an A IDS sufferer. All current medical information indicates that the syndrome is spread from pe rson an 'epidemic' in every sense to person through intimate sexual contact or through the use of shared needles forth ; injection of drugs. AI DS can not be spread through hands hakes, doorknobs, dishes, toilet seats, or showers. "There has been a lot of paranoia which really contributed to the isolation of the AIDS patient ," Hewitt pointed out. " It used to be, There's an AIDS patient here - time for the space suit s or whateve r.' AIDS is a n intimately spread disease- it simply cannot be spread just through casual contact. •• "But it can't be spread just through casual kinds of contact." he transmission of AIDS through blood transfusions has also been a subject of worry. Persons who need blood transfusions , howeve r. should not be unduly concerned about AIDS, Hewitt noted. The New York State Co uncil on Hum an Blood and Transfusion Services reviewed all of the availabl e facts and concluded th at there is no significant risk of contracting AIDS from blood transfusions. Hemophiliacs, though, have a special cause for concern. To get the clotting facto r they need , their transfusions are ob tained from several th ousand donors. thu s raising their chances of co ntracting AIDS. Alth ough only a few AIDS cases among hemophiliacs have been reported. scientists are working on a way to synthesize the clotting factor so as to totally eliminate this risk. Although numerous medical schools and research instjtmes in the United States a nd othe r countries have been carrying o ut studies ai med at conq uering AIDS, the cause is still not known. "It is suspected th at a virus is probably th e cause." explained Hewitt. "Viruses have T support system that they so badly need. There is also a tremendous drop in selfesteem. Many homosexual victims of the disease find themselves terminally ill and feel that God is punishing them because they're gay." In the absence of the su pport network of fami ly a nd friends, many AIDS sufferers have to look elsewhere for help. The New York State Department of Health has recently fund ed a program to help patients with the ill ness. The Western ew York A IDS Program is an all· vol unt eer grou p dedicated. not only to providing ed ucation about the syndrome. but a lso to helping AIDS victims and their families a nd friend s deal with th e disease. "The AIDS program offers not only supportive services for persons with A IDS but also su pport groups for what we call the 'wo rried well' - people in the high-risk groups who are concerned about gelling th e disease," He wi ll explained. " For AIDS patients them· selves, the program provides medical refe rrals and legal services and helps patients deal with the many fina ncial stresses of the illness. The Program a lso provides volun teer companions to help patients at home or to visit them in th e hospi tal. T here is a lso co unselling fo r pat ients with th e illness. "A lot of people with A IDS return to religion ," says Hewitt. "The program has professio nals from vario us fai th s to he lp. as well as regular co unselors. Finally." he concluded, ''the AIDS Program follows t hrough and hel ps fami lies make funeral arrangement s and deal with other post-monem arrangements when the perso n dies." hilc these same problems are faced by most terminally ill patients, lr is indeed srark ro hea r the all-coo Hewitt emphasized that AIDS sufferers face definite prognosis im plici t in this final unique set of problems in addition. service offered by the program .

Many patients are left wi th out th e 0 been known all along to affect the immune system ... As for a cure, researchers are working. among other things, on a method of immunological reconstitution - a way of building up the immune system in patients in whom it has been destroyed. At the present time, however, there is no known treatment that can restart the body's immune system to normal once it has been dam aged by AIDS . Beca use the AIDS patient's bod y is unable to fight off infection . perso ns with the syndrome may devel o p rare form s of ca ncer, pneumon ia, or other serious infec tions which ge nerally d on't affect healthy adults. Hewitt described the problems encountered in trea ting th ese infections. "While we try to treat each infection as it co mes. th e basic problem is that the ~nderlying th ing is still there. Treating diseases usua ll y dem and s an in tact immune sys tem - medici ne works hand in hand wi th th is system. When only one is working. treatment may not be effective." Hewitt pointed out that in addition to the devastating physical effects of the syndrome, AI DS also brings with it a tremendous psyc hological burden. "Psychologically. this is probably the most devastating illness around," he co mmented . ''There is a very real alteration in the quality of life. The patien t may be at th e h ight of hi s career and suddenl y becom termi nall y ill. There is a feeling of absolu te loss of control. With the drastic ~ change often come neurological problems.

Leder, who holds a joint appointment in American and Wome n's Studies. contends th at women are too often portrayed in limited and fragme nt ed ways as the sex object - portraYa ls which ultimately cause harm to the female, the male. and th e male-female relat ionshi p. "When yo u co nsider the ubiquitousness of the media , negati ve images of women arc everywhere.·· she laments .. What makes a bad ituation worse. Leder advises, is that few alternative images exi t that de pitt women a in telligent and thoughtful human beings.

The rub, says Leder, is that thi s type of subtle manipulation .. sets women up to be perpetually unfulfilled ," and allows men to perceive a woman as ··othe r." or an object. What Leder does in her course is to underscore the distinct difference bet~een the image Woman a.s seen in o! advertisements and in th e media and th e realit y of womanhood. She docs this so her st uden ts will never fall prey to th ose who unwittingly. or for profit. confuse the two. s far as Leder is concerned. the depiction of women as sex or fantasy objects is never a positive image a nd has no redeeming social val ue.

"Vanessa Williams was a victim, too- don't condemn her." s fa r as the. Vanessa Williams debacle , Leder is ca uti ous to not co ndem n a woman she perceives as "a victim." " I think it's im portant not to blame the victim because ictims often have the least avai.Jable access to change a situation.·· she relays.

Yet, as confounding and emotionevoki ng as the whole subject seems. it can be explai ned and cou ld have been avoided. believes UB Historian William Sheridan Allen, who uncovered azi correspondence previously thought destroyed, prompting him to write The Nazi Seizure of Power: T1ie Experience of a Single German Town. 1922-1945. The book is an update of one he wrote in 1965 which was translated into almost a dozen languages and remains the most widely assigned book in undergraduate modern German his1ory courses in 1he country. Though the basic tenets of his first volume remain unchanged. Allen says the eight large baskets of Nazj correspondence he unexpectedly found in 1979 have alfowed him both to ex pand the chronological scope of his study by 18 years and to get more detailed information about the inner workings and psyche of the Nazi Party in ' ortheim, a central German town of 10,000 that serves as the focus of his two books. The material. never catalogued or seen by other researchers. also contained about I ,000 forms which evaluated the political reliability of individuals in the town. Ironically, Allen says. the bundles bo re a note from a Hanover archivist who wrote , .. not very interesting." Nonheim. he advises, is typical of small communities in Germany in terms of how it helped finance the Nazi Party and how its local party leaders used propaganda and conlrol techn iques on its citizenry. A microscopic inspection of the municipality can thus help one to understand the larger picture of th e azi ri se to power, Allen suggests. Many theories, of varying degrees of abstraction, have tried to explain the why and how of azism, Allen related , but none has proved adequate. For instance, one popular theory submits that the depression created financial havoc in the German middle class, causing it to be more ieceptive to the Nazi Party. Through scrutinizing bank. statements and other fiscal records ·or Northeim, Allen found this was not the case. By contrast, he discovered the middle class was not all that negatively affected by the depressio n. .. It was the working class that was really hurt, but the middle class went Nazi, •• he points out. Another theory advances the n('tion that totalitarianism is encourageo when intermediate organizations, such as unions and fraternal groups, become weak . But Allen found the opposite to be true in. Nonheim. There, these groups were quite healthy umil Hitler took power. Once he did. however, they were either terminated or brought under Nazi control. ""And this goes right down to the local .. bowli!lgclub and ladies sewi ng circle, ., he observed. Their demise was a conseque nce rather than a cause of Nazism. Still another major theory posits that the German people had a psychological predisposition to Nazism. after hav.in~ suffered through traumat ic experiences related to World War I. Supposedly, this "submerged trauma .. was "reactivated" when the depression hit , making the populace easy prey for the Nazis. gain Allen demurs: "It sounds good. It sou nd s as if it should have happened. but it didn)."" When a trauma of such magnitude does occur, Allen noteQ . all segments of a society should presumably feel its effects. Yet this was not what happened in Nonheim. His investigation showed to the contrary - th at the acceptance or rejection of Nazism occurred along class and religious lin es. ''Only one-eleventh of the working class voted for Nazi leaders during free electi o ns held before Hitler took power. and Catholics consistently and overwhelmi ngl y rejected them."" he sa id . Perhaps the most significant of his findings co ncerns the way in which the Nazi propaganda effort was linked to the party's financial effort - both under control of local Nazi leaders. Despite po pular belief. the Naz.i machinery got its financial grease •·from the botto m up.'' Allen submits. "It was the little people at the bottom in town s like Northeim who built th e Third Reich . Hitl er was more or less a minor factor. He provided a national framework and the general political line. but the day-to-day running of the Party was done at the local level." he explains. "Appro ximately two-third s of all the votes cast in German free elections came from towns with a population of 25.000 or Jess," he adds. "This is where the Nazis got their \jOlts and where they got staned .'' Before Hitler assumed power in 1933, A HITLER? Allen discovered, local Nazi parties raised funds primarily by sponsori ng meetings that featured music, so ng, and patriotic decor. along with a Nazi speaker. The programs, which served as entertainment and quasi-religious experiences , were initially greeted with enthusiasm by ortheimers, who payed an admission fee and then doled ou t more money for a collec tio n taken after the guest speaker was fini shed. Since people's contributions renected their opinions of the speaker, Allen said , local Nazi leaders made certain the audience heard only ·w hat pleased them. Interestingly, Northeimers were ~ot receptive to anti-semitic oratio n so pany heads there rarely scheduled any. What the Nazis said in one town, then , could be radically different from what they said in another. The only commonality in these speeches was that they were against the current government and called for a change in the status quo. Here were all the mechanics of a good propaganda system , Allen observes: a utomatic feedback . local nexibility, and local initiati ve. ut as effective and efficient as the B propaganda was. the seeds of Nazism would never have taken root had there no t bee n _fertile ground. Allen notes. ationalism was high in Germany and. as far as some people were concerned, ••they were still fighting World War I. •· Then. too. there was an extreme class division. The middle class harbored g reat animosity toward the worR.ing class whose acceptance of socialistic principles evoked fear and hostility in those who were better off. Ironically. by the time Hitler was made chancellor. the propaganda system which had worked so well fort he azis up until then showed serious signs of disintegration. Local party officials who knew how to engender enthusiasm in the citizenry were replaced by Nazi bureaucrats who su pposedly had more financial savvy, but less understanding of the public psyche. Then. as part of an effon to bring consistency to the party line, propaganda began to be generated from Nazi headquaners in Berlin. Attendance at meetings became mandatory. and N~ block wardens. responsible for 40 families each. quickly reprimanded o r brought sanctions agai nst those who preferred to stay home. "Ultimately. th e Nazis had to give o ut con tro l tickets which the block warden monitored ," Allen related. "The consequence was that the meetings became like high school assemblies. People hated to go." Allen's thesis that the propaganda system crumbled when the Nazi gained full power is substantiated by records he found that detail the efforts of local party head s to stem the increasing apathy of Northeimers toward s the Third Reich . Eventually. to generate money, the Nazis turned most of their meetings into ... pure entertain ment," offering beer, films, and other amusements. But none of this was enough to keep the Nazi party solvent. By th e time Hit ler assumed power it was bankrupt. In Allen's research he discovered correspondence from o ne azi leader to another which und erscored the seriousness of their financial predicament. It read : ""They have taken ou t my phone. I can"t pay any of the bills. and I've spent my last change for postage due on a letter from you." With amusement, Allen reported he found the letter to which th e Nazi official had referred . It was a bill. li en insists that if the Weim ar Republic had squarely dealt with the problems caused by class division, nationalism, and the depression - the latter not hurting the middl e class as much as "scaring the hell out of th em" the Nazis never would have gained such a stranglehold on the cou nt ry. "The only prevention for such a movement. even a modern-day Nazi-like moveme nt , is for people to be on top of domestic problems and maintain a system of social justice before inju stices can be exploi ted ," he advises. Moreover, Allen maintains that if a coalition had evolved that "stood firm on a platform of decency," the Third Reich wollld have met its demise much soo ner. '" Hitler got into power by playing one group against another," he explains. " It may so uo9 banal, but there is enormous protection when a bottom line consensus can be reached about what is intolerable, and when those who cross that line are exposed."' This was Joe McCanhy·s nemesis, he submits. When the McCarthy trials were A ~~~~i~~~~e;~~~~ese1~;oh~~~~~~:~ ~:: lated basic codes of human decency. Unfortunately. the Germans had no mass media as we know it today, and the Weimar Republic had no newspape·rs people considered jrustworthy. Consequently, the Nazis failed to receive the exposu re and public condemrlation necessary to prevent them from committing their many si ns against humanity.

Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community.

By CON IE OSWALD STOFKO o pre-audit or not to pre-audit? That seemed to be the main question at Friday's public hearing on the proposal to change SUNY from a state agency to a public benefit corporation. The hearing, which lasted five and onehalf hours, was held at Buffalo Sta)e College. It was conducted by Mark Alan Siegel, chairman of the State Assembly Higher Education Committee, and Kenneth P. LaValle, chairman of the State Senate Higher Education Committee. The hearing discussed recommendations of the report of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University, among other reports. Campus presidents assailed the idea of pre-audit, but State Comptroller Edward V. Regan indicated that they might be using the term pre-audit in a "generic~ way. The pre-audit Regan talked about is " part and parcel of check writing," he said. It's a purely technical kind qfreview where two questions are asked: does the law say the purchase can be made and is there money in the bank to cove r it? Pre-a udit "is not a problem in the way co of autonomy." Regan asserted . .Lit 's not a problem that's been cited by SUNY officials." SUNY actually relies on the comptroller's sophisticated pre-audit process with its speedy -computers. he said. Between April I and Dec. 31. 1984. S U Y sent in 73.186 vouchers under $100 that it could have processed on the ca mpus level. .. Our processes have apparently bee n so speedy and efficient that SUNY has not taken full advantage of the nexibility it now.has," Regan said. "When the bill popped up on my desk saying they want more, I was surprised .., The function of pre-audit protects the taxpayers and has to be done someplace, Regan said. And while he supports the idea of more autonomy for SUf\IY. more nexibility might mean there should be a T e nrik N. Dullea, director of state operations and policy managemenl on the staff of Gov. Mario Cuomo. stated that SUNY , and CU Y as well, already have far more flexibilily than other state agencies. "The concept that SUNY is treated by executive agencies in a manner that is indistinguishable from the regulations imposed on other departments of the state - for example, the Department of Motor Vehicles - is quite clearly not the case," Dullea contended. The University is free to hire faculty; set their salaries; and determine the mix of instructors, assistant professors and professors, all without approval by ei ther the Department of Budget (DOB) or the Department of Civil Service, he said. Lump sum appropriations are given now to the Board of Trustees for items such as student computer equipment and enhancement of engineering faculty. A lump sum is also given to the Trustees to a ppropriate for activities such as eve nin g division classes, summer sessions and contract co urses with private industry, he said . Both SUNY and CUNY can generate private support through campuS foundatio ns and usc of those funds is at the discretion of each campus. Pointing to what he called an ··unprecedented level of independence," Dullea noted that campuses can make purchases for under S 10~000. or cont ract for printing services under $2,500, without usin&the competitive bidding process required of oth..er agegcies. Prior review by the DOB orthe Office of General Services (OGS) is also not required in these cases. The governor endorses the goals of the Independen t Commission report. but he may not agree with the specific means to achieve those goals, Dullea said.

Foremost among these issues are the central findings and recommendations of the report. The Commission found that "SUNY is the most over-regulated university in the nation" and that our State Umversity does not rank among the very best public universities, especially in the area of research and graduate education. What is perhaps most significant is that the Commission believes there is a strong linkage between these two fmdings. In other words, the Commission believes that SUNY will never rank among the very best-public university systems unless and until the problem of over-regulation is addressed . The fmding that SUNY is overregulated does not represent any rush to judgment by the Commission. A similar statement was made a quarter of a cen- tury ago by The Heald Commission in a report which was the forerunner of SUNY's expansion as a public university system. The present Commission report cites numerous examples of over- regulation. ranging from the purely rudimentary to the absolutely ridiculous. Indeed, campus presidents throughout the system could regale these hearings for hours with their favorite anecdotes. However, discussions of over- regulation in the past have been very much like the old saw about the weather: "Everyone talks about it, but nobQdy does anything about it." The Independent Commission did not fall into this trap. Its members examined the condition, found t!Je effeets devastating for SUNY '!"d New York State, and recommended a very direct and relatively simple solution. Ironically, the Commission's recommendation would accomp- lish many of the goals that the present system of over-regulation is intended to accomplish, but fails to achieve. According to the CommissioJl, the key element in the solution is to restructure SUNY by statute as a public corporation. What would this accomplish? It would recognize that SUNY differs fundamentally from other State agencies, that the institutions which compose our system of public higher education have different missions, that higher education has different traditions of governance, and that the tasks of our State University can be carried out at the highest levels of quality only in a structure which provides a great deal of flexibility. The le~slation establishing the public corporatiOn would have to redefine some of the relationships and procedures wbich now exist between SUNY and State government agencies. Such cltanges might possibly create. concerns and even apprehensions among some of those agencies. However, the proposed bill that was drafted by Chancellor Wharton and his staff, and endorsed this week by the SUNY Board of Trustees, retains all of the constructive elements of the present structure. For instance, the proposed legislation ensures the continumg role of the Executive and Legislative branches in establishing SUNY's budget and setting educational goals. It keeps the system open to post-audit and retains the current collective bargaining procedures. Moreover, the legislation would continue to respect the authority held by the Board of Regents to establish educational policies and standards. he Chancellor and the Trustees did propose major changes, though, that would remove obstacles to SUNY's ability to compete educationally with the leading public univenities in this nation, and that would permit SUNY to fulftll T the important role it should have in the economic development of New York State. The draft bill proposes expanded authority for the Board of Trustees in fiscal and personnel matters, consolidating budgeting, and freedom from preaudit requirements . . . . - The Commission noted that "state government does not seem to trust SUNY's board of trustees, chancellor, or campus presidents with even the most elementary administrative decisions concerning the institutions they have been asked to manage." The Commission also drew upon a report submitted last fall by a national Study Group on the Condttions of Excellence in American Higher Education. This report points out that "it is a le~timate responsibility of states to audit mstitutiooal practices, to demand evidence of their effectiveness, and to correct abuses. It is quite another matter," the re~ort states, "for them to operate the insutution from a distance oD'Ihe assumption that faculty and administrators are either 'tttompetent or corrupt.'" No one is to blame for the present system of over-regulation of the State University of New York. It did not occur as the result of some diabolical schemes. We simply are laboring under the cumulative weight of years of regulation imposed by statute. The Chancellor and the Trustees have proposed removing the most onerous part of that weight and dispelling the sense of distrust that it has engendered. Their proposals would markedly reduce the cynicism that is bred when campus faculty and staff must devote excessive amounts of time and energy in seeking to cope with an oppressive bureaucratic system. On a different plane the Chancellor's and the Trustees' recommended legisla- would continue to be responsible for determining SUNY's annual appropriation, based · on a detailed analySts of SUNY's past expenditures and future budget requests. Second,the stewardship exhibited by the Trustees in the expenditure of these appropriated funds would continue to be judged rijlorously and publicly through post-audtts conducted by the State Comptroller's Office. The less obvious but more effective method for ensuring· accountability under the proposed legislation derives from the fact that, for the first time, both the authority and the responsibility for various decisions would be established at clearly-defined levels within the University. This would create true accountability, in contrast to the present system in which it is often difficult or impossible to pinpoint within the bureaucratic maze the person or persons actually responsible for a given decision. A SUNY that operates with greater efficiency and increased accou ntability will be able to respond much more effectively to the educational goals established by the Executive and Legislative branches and the State Board of Regents. One such goal has been that the State University should utilize its vast resources to play a major role in the economic development of New York State. One implication of this goal, as the Independent Commission has pointed out, is that greater emphasis will have to be ~laced on research and graduate educatton in the years immediately ahead. Both this goal and its corresponding implication have immense importance to the University at Buffalo and the Western New York community. UB is the most academically compre- tion would ensure that the appropriate hensive campus within the system, espe- goals of gov~rnmental regulation would be actually achteved. Those goals as 1see them are: efficiency; accountability; and cially at the graduate and professional levels. The full-time and afftltated faculty of this campus generate over S55 million per year in funding for organized research and sponsored programs, the largest amount attributable to any SUNY institution. We have more graduate, professional, and post-doctoral pro(!fams and students than any other unit m the system. In addition, we have the largest number of undergraduates of any SUNY campus. AU of these students benefit directly from the experience of working with eminent scholars in classrooms, laboratories, and seminars. ' UB also ha_ppens to be located in the most economtcally depressed area of the State. We are currently very involved in assisting in the economic revitalization of WesternNewYorlr.. Wehavemade major institutional commitments to a number of new entities such as the Western New York Technology Development Center, and the Healthcare Instrumentation and Deyices Institute. We are now planning an mdependent research that will provide incubator space adjacent to the campus for fledgling enterprises. -rytes_e initiatives.represent only a small begtnntng, one that has been achieved with considerable difficulty in the present regulatory climate. Those of us who are familiar with the leading university systems in the nation realize SUNY's potential for becorrung a truly major factor in economic development in this State. We also kno~ that achieving this potential Will requ1re the presence of university centers that excel in research alld graduate education. The Chancellor's and the Trustees' proposalS, especially those dcalmg wtth budget execution, purchasing and contracts, personnel, and selfgenerated revenues, would greatly facilitate the development of such centers to _ much higher levels of quality. 1o 1 understand, just as you do, that the emphasts g~vcn by the Commission to research and graduate education may true value received for the tax monies invested in public higher education. 1 know of no one who would argue that the present system is efficient. The time that frequently elapses between a campus decision and approval of that decision by another State agency or agencies can often render the initial decision meaningless. In such instances operational procedures can dictate policy, which represents a gross distortton of regulatory intent. This distortion is not at all uncommon in the present system; indeed, one can argue that is it required by statute in the existing structure because the statutes legally assign control and approval functions to inyriad bureaucratic agencies external to the University. The people in these agencies are not evil or Incompetent - they arc simply doing their jobs. They are being bureaucratically efficient in an inherently inefficient system. A much more efficient process is one that provides sufficient flexibility to ensure that decisions are made at the lowest practical level by accountable P.,rsons who have the appropriate expertise to make them. It is the intent of the Chancellor's and Trustees'proposed legislation to establish just such a decision-making process wuhin SUNY. !though all of us believe strongly that state universities require a great deal of management flexibiltty, none of us would advocate exempting the University from the demands of strict accountability. Indeed, the Chancellor's and the Trustees' proposals would cr~ate a degree of accountability withirl SUNY that would be much greater thav now exists. The proposed legislation provides two obvious means by which this strict accountability would be achieved. First, the Execu!ive and Legislative branches A generate anxiety among some legislators and their constituent institutions. Frankly, 1 do not believe there is ·any cause for alarm. The Trustees and the Chancellor are responsible for nurturing and maintaining quality throughout the system. This can only be achieved throullh an equitable system of funding, tn whtch the resources allocated to each campus are commensurate with that campus' individual mission. Then too the Chancellor has stated publicly and repeatedly that no campus would have its resources reduced from the current lev~ in order to supplement programs at other institutions. his week the Governor announced a T program that would increase SUNY's management responsibility and flexibility along the' lines recommended by the Independent Commission. This announcement represents a continuing interest and willingness on the Governor's part to create a strong State University. However, to my knowledge the actual legislation that would implement h,is proposals has not yet been released, and thus 1 would not be in a position at this time to comment on the Gover-nor's proposals. Nevertheless, in the context of an atmosphere that is conducive to change, and in which competing proposals may be advanced , I would like to indicate my agreement with a point made at an earlier hearing by my counterpart and colleague at Stony Brook, President John Marburger. He noted that "making SUNY a public corporation is the weakest step that can be taken to ensure the necessary' independence of action." Indeed, I can testify from first-hand experience that the legislation proposed by the Chancellor and the-Trustees would give SUNY much less flexibility than is currently enjoyed by leading public universities in other states. · The strongest and boldest step, of course, would be to enact a constitutional amendment establishing SUNY as a separate branch of government. This is the approach that has been followed in 1 many other states. As you know, the Independent Commisston considered this alternative, but concluded that the public corporation was the most expeditious and practicable route to follow in New York State. However, the key point is that the Commission completely rejected any incremental or piecemeal approach to (!fanting SUNY the managementllexibiltty it needs. The Commission recognized that SUNY 's legal status must be changed 10 a fund~mental way if it is to be able to compete effectively with other public systems and respond to the needs of the people of this State. 1 believe there is a great deal of good will in the Legislature and the Executive Office toward the State University of New York. 1 am convinced that you and your colleagues share our desire to create a system of public higher education that stands among the very best in the nation. We already have built the foundation of such a system. Indeed, the Legislature can take great and justifiable pride in all that it has done over the years to help build that foundation. Now we ask that you make it possible for SUNY to take full advantage of the investment that has been made by the people of New York in their State University. By your actions, and Wtth your help, we can be given the t?ols to complete a great public univerSity system. 1 therefore urge you to tmplement as quickly as possible the fundamental recommendatton of the Independent Commission by adopting the legIS!atton recommended by the Trustees and the Chancellor. 0 Tl1c Independent c :o1n1nission Hcport on Sl ':"\1's Future 1 �M~n:ti7, 1985 13 Volume 16 No. 21 (At left) ""' '-rltlflroom at Bult81o Prealdent Stille.

Hearings From page 1 bills the governor is submitting to the legislature includes an amendment that will permit unlimited interchange of funds within a campus. Approval will be submitted by SUNY (or CUNY) directly to the comptroller. This will, in effect, give each campus a lump sum it is free to manage, Dullea said. The DOB will retain the a bility to establish system-wide expendi ture and personnel ceilings. but the detailed Implementation of those ceilings will be vested in the board of trustees. he said. Dullea listed several other features of the governor's program for SUNY and CUN Y: • University employees, as appointees of the board s of trustees, may be reassigned on campus at the discretion ofthe trustees, subject to collect ive bargaining agreements. • The purchasing flexibility program would be established in permanent law with a three-year sunset provision. • Petty cash purchase authorizations would be increased from $100 to $250. • Development funds generated by the universities through their fo und ations and endowments may be spent without pre-audit and appropriation, subject only to submissio n of periodic reports and annual audits of such activities. • The trustees would be authorized to set the salaries of the chancellor, aU college preside nts and senior central offi<7 managers to make the systems competl- tive in recruiting and retaining talent. The boards of trustees would annually report to the legislatu re and the governor the salaries set -for these positions and the factors employed in their determination. • Presidential housing policy would be turned over to the boards of trustees along with ownership of the properties, where applicable, and rent setting powers. A state subsidy '(o r housing allow- · ance) would be provided to both un iversities to be distributed by the trustees. All state support for the ope rations, maintenance or debt service of such housing would flow from these funds. • The boards of trustees or their designees would be au th orized in law to set salary levels for faculty members within the limits established under the collective bargajning process. • The transfer of funds between campuses would be allowed. "There may be considerable merit in the public benefit corporation approach, but the governor believes that this is a fa r-reaching concept which should be given careful scrutiny prior to adoption," Dullea reported . fter delivering his prepared statement (see full text elsewhere on these A pages), UB President Steven Sample responded to questioning, and the issue of pre-audit came up again. .. The true locus of authority is now external to the board of trustees, in myriad agencies," Sample said, citing DOB and OGS. "Whatever authority the board of trustees exercises, it probably exercises at lhe day-to-<lay pleasure of these agencies." When asked for an example of J>roblems ca used by pre-audit, Sample brought up the ban on o ut-of-state travel imposed by the DOB several years ago. After that, the only thing that was clear on the issue was th at the term .. pre-audit" is fuzzy. Siegel complained that every example of prior approval thar has occurred is being lumped together under the banner of pre-audit. '' Prior co ntrol is not pre-audit," Siegel said. "We have ye t to he ar cases where pre-audit, not DOB or OGS . was the central cause," he said, adding that that kind of evidence is what is needed to make a case for a structural chan ge in SU Y. "To check and sec if there's money in the bank - nobody questions that," Sample replied. "But as soon as it expands beyond that, it moves to a question of judgement very, very rapidly." It opens the door to interminable delays, as has happened in the past, he added. Siegel pointed o"ut t hat Regan gave three examples where money would have been lost without the comptroller's preaudit (the examples saved $400,000, $30,000 and S 15,000, according to a prepared typescript of Regan's testimony. Since he hadn' seen the examples, he could n' prepare a rebutt al, Sample said. Assemblyman Joseph T . Pillittere of Niagara Falls came to Sample's defense . Pillittere said he disagreed with Regan "s examples because none of them. were cases where somebody wanted to spend money that was n' there - the purp os~ of pre-audi t. Instead , they were errors in JUdgement. · Later, whe n giving examples of how more autonomy would help UB, Sample cited a pnntingjob where the cost of staff time spent trying to satisfy myriad req uirements was greater th an the act ual cost of the job. " I suspect there are thousands of examples where staff time is lost ," Sample said. "The net Joss far exceeds the occasional savings of '8 multi-level bureaucracy." eca use of th e con troversy that was build ing over the issue of pre-audit. B Buffalo State College President Bruce Johnstone decided to forego his prepared remarks in an attempt to clear up the issue. The problem lies not wi th audi t and control, but wi th DOB and OGS, and occasionally, Civil Service, Johnstone said . ••The horror stories are real and the memories arc fresh." he stated .

This volume chronicles the growing constitut ional movement which led to the constitutio nal convention in Philadelph ia. and closes with the birth of 1he Consti tuti on and the election of George Washington. - - LaValle, Siegel urge harm· ny in higher ed By ANN WHITCHER rivate and public sectors of higher education must present a united front in their legislative proposals, Kenneth P. LaValle, Republican chairman of the State Senate's Standing Committee on Higher Education. an·d Mark Alan Siegel, his Democratic counterpart in the Assembly, said Friday. The two were speaking to a meeting of area higher education officials, public and private, sponsored by the UB Faculty of Educatio nal Studies and held at D1'ouville College. Until recently, said Siegel. the two higher education camps were almost always engaged in unseemly, even ugly, battle. " It was a personally unpleasant experience for both me and Sen. LaValle <o have to deal with people who had such twisting anger inside them that they expressed such hostility, derision and anger toward each other .. . . Everyone was trying to poison everyon .. else's well .... It really made higher education a subject to which we in Albany were almost unwilling to tum our attention." The two agreed that a mere cooperative approach has resulted in such recent successes as last spring's enactment of a loan program developed under the auspices of the state"s Dormitory Auth ority. In that effort, said Siegel, "we had fort he first time in many years a collaborative effort able to take into account all the (schools') needs, and able to serve the fina nciai needs of all the students." LaValle argued that across-the-board suppon for various financial aid programs, from both sectors of higher ed, "will always be received enthusiastically" among higher education's adherents in the Assembly and Senate. Added LaValle: "If we deal successfully in Albany with your fiscal concerns, (sending) more monies into your institutioos, hopefully you won"t be as uptight in dealing with one another.... Siegel argued: "The question should not be which school in someone else's sector should be for<:ell to close. . . . Instead, we need to have a collective plan to maintain not just the physical infrastructure, but the academic and inteUectual infrastructure as well. lfwe fail to do that, we will be asked to re~laceeach and every One of the educatiOnal supfort facihties at 2001 prices" as the tum o the century approaches. The Manhattan assemblyman added: "And that would most certamly break the back of the State of New York, even with P the tremendous wealth we have. What I look forward to in the relationship among the sectors of higher education, is a common understand ing that we have to work together to support each other to make su re that we are in a position to meet th e challenges that are just on the horizon." . LaValle said more effo rts are needed .. to rnake higher education a priority in the budget process." He implied that legislatorS as a whole need to have their consciousness raised on this subject. .. Let me give you an example. Last year, we increased state aid to elementary and secondary educatio n by $460 million without a blink . This year, we11 probably go to S400 mill ion." But selling fellow legislators on relatively non--tontroversial and less expensive higher ed programs (such as raising the dollar amount of Regents Scholarships at a cost of perhaps SIO or $12 million), would nevertheless " be a tough job" for LaValle and similarly minded legislators, the Long Island Republican contended. "It goes back to getting a mindset that higher education deserves a higher prior~ ity in the budget process." He reite rated that a unified message to Albany would go a long way toward creating that atmosphere of sup port. B oth Siegel and LaValle said New York State offers an impressive array of educational programs. "As far as I'm concerned," LaValle commented, " we have a nationally rated program in every discipline." Siegel agreed: "The system in New York State is un iq ue in that it has a b~ which is substantial in all the sectors. We offer the people who choose to stay in New York State the broadest possible range of academic and social experiences. There is virtually no experience that you cannot seek in higher educat ion - unless it 's tanning - that cannot be obtained in New York State." Both legislators have urged the state"s Commerce Department to develop an " I Love New York" campaign on behalf of the state's educational resources, so far to little avaiL They contended that more needs to be done to retain the many New York State students who go out of state for their college educations. According to the recent report issued by the lndependent Commission on the Future of SUN¥, New Yo rk is a net exporter, in any give n year, of some 64,000 students - a number equal to the total enrollment of 13 SUNY campuses. Siegel argued that '"the retention of even half the currently exported students 1 !.:~~~~r"'~; 7h:-=:: :t'b~:,~ s.. Affairs, te Unlnrsttr of New York •t Bufr.lo.

R eeducation of people whose skills have become irrelevant in job markets, by itself, would fill up the so-called empt y places. We must also st rive to give a n educa tio n t o people who early in their lives had to defend themselves in the economic marketplace and th erefo re lost the opportu nity to be educated irf't he great cultural, et hical, and histo rical traditions of our society. " We must se rve those people and give them the broad type of humanistic liberal arts ed ucation that 1 believe every perso n in this state deserves and from which I believe our culture will benefit. That, too, by itself, would fill up the s upp osed deficit." New York's college-gomg rate IS the highest in the nation, Siegel continued, adding that for several reasons, he believes that "the projections of college attendance as we head toward the third millennium are going to be sharply higher than was thought in the past." Remaining on the state's agenda, said Siegel, is a much needed re-tooling of New York's college graduates with the skills appropriate for today's job market, along with an improved academic preparation for students desiring to enter college in the first place. • Weeks Director of Public Affairs HARRY JACKSON Last On Week Us!

He called the Reagan government "the most antifamily administration in years,'' labeling the proposed cuts "frightening and destructive. Sometimes I think all these people know about education is 'Beach Blanket Bingo' or 'Animal House.'" Responding to another question, Siegel said the state"s lottery "does nothing to support education." For all intents and purposes, he said, lottery receipts go into the state's general operating fund. To say otherwise by way cif promoting the lottery "is garbage," he contended. La Valle offered mo re temperate comments on the administration's proposed financial aid cuts. Though a Republican, the se nator recently sent a letter to the President requesting modifications in the financial aid proposals. " I believe there will be modifications in what has been present~ , " he predicted. Asked about SUNY's future in the State's economic development, LaValle responded that "part of the problem in SUNY IS that you can) move with the sa'me del iberate speed as the independ ent tnstitutions."' 0 CAMP US BESTSELLER LIST 4 3 by Andrew M .

He added that he uses the fees he receives from the debates to invest in his business and .. for my own personal livelihood . A nd there's nothing wrong with that.

And Hoffman is condemning them. He's cut himself off. We as college students and Yuppies have to take responsibility for governing." "Tbe Yuppies are not a political movement," declared Hoffman. " They're a phenomenon. Like flappers, like punks. J don 't give a goddamn what your attitudes toward nuclear weapo ns or the poo r a rc. I'm interested in what you're doing about it.

" Yip/Yup From page 1 success of the university with some other yardsticks besides the size of its research budget and the extent of its contribution to the gross national product. . At least that's bow Hoffman sees it: "Two of the questions raised during the sixties were, what is the role oft he unive~­ sity in society and what is the role of the student in the university? Those two questions must be raised . again . If you stait to look behind the walls of the university you're going to get an education in how power really works. Should a university invest in South African businesses? Should a university be doing war research? Do CIA recruiters belong in an academic community? The administration wants you to believe you'te only here for a diploma, that,you're only here for yo ur career. CampuS!:s today are hotbeds · of social rest. I'm urg~ you to consider yo urselves as citizens, orld citizens. This is not the time to re eat i'mo the complace ncy of the universit anctu ary."' Hoffman's acl.fvism didn' end in the 1960s.

He is using some of his debate income to take Americans to Nicaragua each sum mer to see firs th and what is taking place there. The l ~t goes on and on. Hoffman is still active in grass roots organizing, civil disobed ience, and yes, a bit of guerilla theater now and then. By his own admission he hasn't changed. erry Rubin has. Once he and Hoffman created havoc by showering members •of the American Stock Exchange with one d ollar bills. Today he arranges meetings between businessmen at his networking salons. "You can be in business and not be a heartless Reagan Republican," Rubin began his argument. " A generation with a tremendous social conscience has gone in to the American system to be successful and to change that system ."

These groups do have control over their money M:caUse they can decid e whether they want to spend the money for interCollegiate lthletics. he use of student fee mooey for intercollegiate athletics is not mandated and the undergraduate Student Association is the Only one of the si x stu<Jent governments that chooses to spend its money this way, he said. It spent $205,000 this year, the President noted. Sample also po·inted out that the intercollegiate program is supported in great T part by the state. Direct aid fo r things like salaries is close to a half million dollars, he said. Indirect aid for things like physical plant brings the total up to S 1.5 or S2 million, he indicated. The athletic control board would be the same as, not in addition to, a task force, Sample noted. It would have three major tasks, he said. First, it would develop a Io·n g-range plan for interco~giate athletics at UB. Topics might include-post-season play, conferences, and academic requirements. Second, it would review and monitor recreation policy. Third, the board would review sources of income each year and . prepare and oversee a budget. Administrative control would be through the provost, Sample said. · D �M•rch 7, 1985 Volume 16 No. 21 SDI UB shares in unclassified defense research By EDWIN DOBB B is ·one of five universities sharing a fou r-yearS 19 millio n gra nt fro m the Defense Department's Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, (SD I), Senators Daniel M-oynihan, D-N.Y., and Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y., announced February· 28.

Black began work on the project a year ago.

SUNY lifted its ban on fraternities and sororities in 1976. but for UB the Greeks exactly how the Town Board will proceed," Taulbee said. She added that the proposal will probably be discuss.ed at the March 18 Town Board meeting. The land , located on the west side of Sweet Home Road and north of Chestnut Ridge Road , is properly zoned for the are a trend of th e last few years. .. Fraternities and sororities have been gaining a lot of momentum over the last five years and now they're at the point proposed housing but any co nstruction undesirable for .. political reasons .. so of off-<:ampus fraternity and sorority houses and dormitories in Amherst requires a special permit from the Town Board . The UB Foundation plans to buy the site from the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, if the project is okayed. "If the permit is approved, we will have to work out the specific plans in an ad hoc fashion; the Town does not have any specific design regulations for-fraternity and sorority-type housing," Taulbee sa1d. The UB Foundation is ibterested in buying the land at the.req~est·of the Divi- where they need housing," Black said.

Welch, Jr., as he looks ahead to his term as chairman of the Faculty Senate is revitaliza- T tion of committees . .. It may sound narrow or quaint , but that's the basis of the faculty government," he said of the committees. He's loo.king for faculty members who will volunteer their time and talents , especially people who haven' senied before . .. There 's a tende]lcy toward inbreeding," he explained. "We're bringing new faculty (on campus) all the time. We should be alert to new talent. " The normal term of committees is two years, Welch said. He hopes appointments can be m~e in the spnng so they're ready to go in the fall . Standing commi\lees "In: Academic Freedom and Respo115ibility, Academic PlanningJ/ Admissions and Retention, Affirmative Action, Athletics, By-laws, Computer Services, Continuing Educa- tion, Educational Programs and Policy, . Elections, Facilities Planninj!. Faculty Tenure and Privileges, Gradmg, Information and Library Resources, Research and Creative Activity, and Teaching Quality. Welch has been elected to a two-year term as chair of the Fac\llty Senate. His term will begin in September. Until then, he serves as chairman-elect. Another important task of the Faculty Senate is responding to issues. Welch listed several that might get al!ention from the Senate in the coming year. "The question is, how do we want to use our energy and talent?" Welch said. "The Senate has the right to examine a whole host of issues if it deems them relevant." One issue is that of the general education program, ·he said. The questions on that are: what do we want to do, how should it be done, and what are the existing obstacles? The very important marriage of academic affairs and the health sciences is another issue that needs ongoing evaluation, he noted. Thise areas have a long history of separate development and the Senate ought to be aware of the contrasts that exist, he said. Welch is careful not to use phrases that make it sound as if one is superior or as if health sciences is on the periphery of the University and needs to be pulled in. There should be mutual knowledge and enrichment, he explained. Part of that is clarifying the balance between teaching and research across the University, he said. Still another related, if less pressing problem, is the subject of names. Welch said he'd like to see somebody come up with something other than .. academic affairs" which sounds slightly risque, or "general academic core" which has the brusque-sounding acronymn of "GAC". T he Senate represents all of the full- time faculty. That's a simp le statement that leads to a complicated question. .. What do we do with the pal"t-time faculty?" Welch asked. "And we have a lot. Maybe 25 per cent of teaching is done by part-time people. It's an issue I'm aware of, but I don't know of a solution." large, barren , fragmented. and not especially welcoming to newcomers." How faculty members interact with their colleagues also deserves attention fl"om the facuhy, he said. The message that UB wants to send out is that this is a quality un iversi ty where people can leam a gTeat deal in a pleasant setting, he said. Student issues are another concern, he said. The Student Life Commillee, which Welch proposed in the fall, is just gelling underway and deserves counterparts in faculty are concemed about the need for periodic review of acaM any demic administrators, Welch went on. the Professional Staff Senate and student The faculty themselves are regularly government, he said. There has been some controversy in the Faculty Senate Executive Committee over which issues are student iss ues and reViewed . ... Administrators are our colleagues who, we're sure, would welcome review whether the Faculty Senate should even address them. "If it impacts upon the quality of our teaching and the general atmosphere on campus, it's relevant," Welch said. "Of course, there are degrees of relevance ... It's up to the Senate to decide which issues it chooses to tackle, he said. Demographics is tied to the student on a fair and open basis," he said. The use of support services such as the libraries, computers and the Educational Communications Center m&.k.e up another area the faculty can look into, to make sure the services effectively support the overall teaching effort, he said. The Faculty Development Workshop for new teachers will again be held in August. issue. The Senate has heard many times ''It arose from a Senate committee, that there will bt fewer high school ~rad­ captured the enthusiasm of the faculty and got well timed financial support," Welch said. "It enhanced the quality of campus life. It's the model I just love to uates in the next decade, Welch pomted out, and that there might be uncomfortable consequences for faculty. ... We don't have a large, semi-captive audience," Welch said. "We have to be much more concerned with student life see." Welch: commlltees are the first priority. public benefit corporation will have been srartc:d by rhc:n. Bur realistically, i t pl"ob- ably will still be under debate. It 's an issue that will involve a lot of faculty consideration, he said. Parking is one more topic that will be considered in the fall, Welch predicted. elch is a professor of political W science. He ts currently on sabbati- cal, working on a book to be called No Farewell lo Arms? Military Disengagement From Politics in the Third World. His publications have focused on Africa and the political roles of armed forces. His major administrative posts at UB have included dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, associate vice president fo,. academic affairs, and chairman of the Depanmenl of Political Science.

In short, a cradle of life as lifelike as possible. Among the inorganic materials that would be expected in the ancient environment, argues CairnsSmith, the best qualified candidate for this seminal role ts clar.. Clay is a widely distnbuted stable product of rock weathering, notes Costanzo. Clay minerals are complex structures composed of distinct layers reminiscent of the pages in a book. The reason for this sheet-like appearance, explains Giese, "is that th~ bonds between atoms within a A layer are cry much stronger than the bonds bet» n layers. In addition, many clay minerals are chemically impure and 1everal common elements in the Earth ·s crust easily substitute for one another. Thus, a typical layer in a clay mineral a solid-state information system roughly equivalent to an old-fashioned computer · punch card or a magneti~ tl!pe. "Many of these substitutions unbalance the local bonding in ways that can be sensed by an adjacent layer," Giese continues. "During growth of a new layer, the pattern of substituting atoms in the old layer, at least in principle, can be reproduced by a similar pattern of substitutions." Water and organic molecules fre- of maturity that allows them to replicate independently, the organics part with their clay scaffolds. This transfer of know-how is what Cairns-Smith calls genetic takeover, or "the gradual replacement of an old technology with a new. " Genetic takeover is the heart of his theory. Catrns-Smith reflects: "What has to be passed on between generations of organisms, to maintain the line, cannot in the canal. Costanzo reports that so far there is little direct experimental evidence to support the idea of genetic takeover. But in 1981 a German researcher, Armin Weiss, demonstrated the inheritance of certain chemical properties through 20 generations of smectite crystallites. Clays-first advocates have greeted his results with the same enthusiasm that chemical evolution P.roponents expressed long term be a material: it can only be upon hearing of Mtller's landmark elect- quently migrate into the spaces between information if it is to be transmissible clay layers, causing the layers to separate. indefinitely. And what evolves is not the ric spark experiment. But Cairns-Smith and Costanzo advise that any questions regard.ing specific genealogies - our own in particular - lf the separation is large enough a clay organism exactly, but rather the informa- crystaUite can be divided into two or tion '!'hich they transmit." By saying that early forms of life evolved from clay minerals Cairns-Smith suggests that organic more smaller crystallites. The daughter clays retain the special chemical properties of the parent and act as seeds that generate still further crystallites. In other words, clay is an inorganic system that stores, transfers and elaborates informa- tion while reproducing itself, properties it shares with the living organtsms it foreshadows. Moreover, clay is an inorganic system with strong affinities for organic molecules. A natural chemical symbiosis exists between clays and simple organics. The substitutions in the clay crystals act like templates or scaffolds that hold molecules in stable patterns long nough for orderly chemical reaction sequences to occur. In turn, the organics hel p shape an environment that favors accelerated lie well outside the ken of science. Singular, historical events are impossible to molecules imitated some properties of verify experimentally. Current debate clay crystals - most important, their proto-hereditary mechanism- and by so doing took over functions that had evolved under entirely different, that is, concerns only the more general issue of inorganic or prebiotic, conditions. with bioengineering re sea rch and development.

This means that the food canal might act as a bouyancy device and also as an alternative means of absorbing may have aluminum or magnesium in clay formation.

The heredity know-how that protein may have borrowed from clay and refined over the last 3.5 billion years is presently being annexed by 20th century scientists. Their labs are orderly, efficient, amply equipped. These chemists aren't working haphazardly. They're guided, for better or worse, by human intention. The work they do reminds us that the question of life's origin is now inseparable from the question of life's next destination. 0 Hearings judgement was superior to the president's.

Cairns-Smith of the University of Glasgow. His recipe for the creation of life, considered imaginative but highly speculative when first proposed in 1966, is now attracting serious attention. The theory is being debated in technical journals and dissected in college classn!>oms. People are starting to care about clay. 0 dd to the evidence for respectability a new geo logy course developed by A Patricia M. Costanzo, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow in the Depanment of Geological Sciences at UB. Costanzo taught th e course, called "Mineral Origins of Life, ··ror the first time in the fall of 1984. At first glance, the idea that clay minerals like kaolinite and smectite are our distant co usins seems, to put it kindly, far-fe tched. But our skepticism may be due in part to different views about what co nstitu tes life and to a Jack of appreciation for the similarities between the earliest organisms and complex species that wander the Eanh today. Like Augustine w;eslling with the subject of time, most of us are certain we know what life is unt il the day we 're asked to define it , at which point certainty yields to bewilderment. Go ing back to beginnings is never easy, and pinpointing the origin of plan ts and animals is no exception. Marking the moment when life appeared is especially difficult because it is a classic .. watched pot" problem: The transition from lifelessness to life is precisely the period when differences between the two states are most difficult to detect. This inescapable dilemma notwithstanding, biologists agree on a handful of basic properties held in common by all living things found well this side of that fugitive transition. The principal attributes of life, most would say, are organization, the ability to reproduce, information sto rage, and the fl,bilities to transmit information from one generation to another and to extend the amount and the complexity of stored information (through- mutation). . ·To elaborate: an organism is highly organ ized and its internal structure endures. An organism also grows. Though attended by changes in form and function, growth typically follows an orderly, repetitive pattern . However, in the genetic pool of an entire species there occur variations - mistakes or mutations - which under certain environmental conditions increase the odds that the individual organism bearing th ose mmations will survive. The inheritance of these favorable attributes - and thus the evolution of the species - depends on the organism's ability to retain the newlyacquired information (via mutation) ·and to pass that informatio n to the nex t generatio n. The geological record s u~­ gests that life forms meeting these crite na made their debut long before the appearance of any species we might publicl y acknowledge as kinfolk. anh is believed to have formed 4.5 billion years ago while the age of the earliest known fossils - bacterial microorganisms in layered, dome-lik.e st ructures called stromatolites - appears to be about 3.5 billion years. The mterveningd awn of one billion yea rs o r so has provoked a number of spec ulat ive creati on stories. The most popular version tod ay is that life percolated from a "hot dilute so up .. of chemicals that presumabl y co ndensed as the planet cooled. The chemical origi ns doctrine assumes that basic starting molecules packed with E "We all know what life is until the day we are asked to define it." the ingredients that make up more than 95 per cent of all living things today hydrogen , oxygen, carbon and ni trogen - were present in Earth's ancient atmosphere. Rain washed these molecules in to the oceans where in so me places they conce ntrated. Vigorously mixed and cooked with luckil y Limed jolts of energy - say, from lightning or intense solar radiation - the mole~ules- aggregated and congealed into the first replicating entities. C hemists and biologists admit there are grievous missing links in chemical evolution theory, but have offered tant alyz.ing evidence to suppon the early part o! their case. In 1953, for instance, Stanley Miller, then a graduate student at the Universit y of Chicago, arced an electric discharge through a mixt ure of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water va por. After one week some of the meth ane in his sim ula(ed ocean-atmosphere had been converted into several organic compounds, incl uding a few simple amino acids, the raw materials of pro teins. During the three decades since Miller's classic experiment other organic molecules have been synthesized unde r laboratory co nd itions. These include purines and sugars which are, respectively, constituents and essenti al structural elements of DNA a nd RNA . "' Here we have an exam ple, " co unters Cairns-Smi th in his b ook Genetic Takeover, "of a hypothesis that has become less plausible the more it has been 'confirmed.' .. What he means is that while these successes suggest a number of smaller molecular units co uld have for med in th e "primordial soup," they aJso show that formation of more complex molecules was improbable. Fabricating the simplest proteins, for exam ple, would reqmre a complicated workup comprised of hundreds of carefully orchestrated steps. Numerous types of molecules would have to be present in exact quantities at precise ttmes and under special conditiOns for such processes as purification, filtration, catalysis, and so on. Accordi ng to the clays-first theorY, explains Costanzo, these comple x pr o~edures could not have resulted from random mixing in a primordial ocean. '' Perhaps an even more difficult hurdle," explains Rossman F. Giese, Ph. D .. UB clay mineralogis t, " is the view that has developed in the past decade or so, that the early atmos phere on. Earth was not rich in methane, ammonia and hydrogen, as assume<! by the chemical evol uti onists, but probably was primarily carbon d ioxide and nitrogen, with oxygen following much later as a product of well-developed life forms."

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

Bunn. vice provost fo r und e rgraduate education. He noted in a memo on th e s ubject that the Faculty Senate endorsed the concept in 1-982 and President Steven Sample issued a directive that such reviews take place. A discussion about how to undertake systemic review of all the programs has occupied much of the time of the Undergraduate Council during the past year, he noted. There is no regular review of underg raduat e programs now , he said . The purpose oft he review is to evaluate specific objectives , to examine program coherence and in te rd ependence , to rethink the broad goals of undergraduate education , and to increase the appreciation of the diversity oft he undergraduate program in this institution where the tendency is toward specialization, Bunn wrote. A his is th e pro cess Bunn o utlined : · • Each und e rgraduate dcpanment is to undertake a self- tud y, preferably during the same se mester the graduate or professional revi ew is performed . The self-stud y is no t part of the graduate review process. but s hould t:re easier to accomplish if performed in conjunction with that rev iew. ' • The undergraduate director will perform the stud y with limited direction from the vice provost for undergraduate education regarding genera l objectives and priorities. • Once the self-study is completed, each department will nominate several UB undergraduate directors from adjacent disciplines who might serve as evaluators. The vice provost for undergraduate education, tn consultation wit h t he deans, will select two of the nominees, T plus one senior faculty member. to act as reviewers. • The evaluators will be requested to submit , to the appropriate dean. a repo rt with co mm ent s and recommend ation · ab o ut the pro gra m. The dean will. in turn . forward the report to the vice pro· vost fo r und e rgraduate educati o n with hi s/ her comments. • Once the vice provost has reviewed the evaluators· repon. he will disseminate it to the Undergraduate Council for their commen ts about appropriate action to be taken by the chairman, dean , or provost. • Once each year a forum will be held where all departments who have undergone review that year will present the resu lts of their self-study to interested facul ty in adjacent disciplines. uggested questions which each selfstudy might address includ e: • How might the department's overoll role and ·•fit" within University und ergraduate educatio n best be characterized'! • What are lhe specific objectives of the major a nd how arc they achieved? • \Vha t are the objectives oft he service and / o r general education courses? • What strategies are used in as igning facult y roles in undergraduate educatio n? • Are th e de partment's o bjectives closely relat ed to the actual needs of its student s? • Ho w has the department's ··fit " witHin the overall University undergrad· uate program changed in the last fi ve o r ten years? Bunn indicated that th e departments will be on· a seven-year schedule for program review. Departments that wish to deviate from the schedule can petition the vice provost for undtrgraduate education. Marilou Healey. assistant vice provos t. reiterated that the evaluation schedule will generally follow that for the graduate programs . A schedule should be ready in about a month, she indicated . 0 S Senate hears plans for evaluations, undergraduate college By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO caching evaluatio ns and the pro posed undergraduate college were two iss ues discussed by James H. Bunn , vice provost for undergraduate education, at a recent Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. · An evaluation process for both faculty members and teaching assistants is in place now, Bunn said . The deans have assured him that there will be total compliance by the end of this semester, he added. Afterthe Faculty Senate passed a resolution urging establishment of regular teaching evaluations. President Steven Sample, in December of 1983, approved guidelines. The guidelines mandated that each department should implement its own procedure by the fa ll of 1984 and stude nts should ~ave the opportunity to evaluate instruction in every course. Department c hairs should review, at leas! annually, the results of these student evaluations and other forms of assessment used by the department. the guidelines stated. The principal purpose of the reviews is to provide faculty members with the opportunit y to improve the quality of their teaching. Professional faculty from each department should directly monitor all teaching by graduate teaching assistants and each department should have in place, by the fall of 1984, a mandatory teaching effectiveness pro~ram forT A's, according to the same gutdelines. Raymond Hunt; professor in management, organization and human T resources, was concerned about the evaluations themselves. If the instrument is questionable and the feedback is misleading, that's worse than no evaluat ion at all , he said . acuity Senate Chairman Dennis Malone questioned whether the reviews are taking place. "I'm well aware of facul ty who have nevot heard of any evaluation of teaching - it simply does not occur,'" he said. ""I F another level of bureaucracy. The evaluations differ, ranging from SCATE (Stud'ent Course And Teacher Evaluation), to a question and answer fo rm , to a blank sheet of paper, Bunn said. Some departments limit publication of the evaluations while other compile booklets. " I'm going to encourage the deans to distribute the surveys so students can make an informed decision," he said. Bunn also suggested three ways to aid teaching assistants: courses in good teaching for all TA 's, acculturation prog rams for foreign students, and work in English language for foreign students. He recommended that deans and chairs put in place tbe first line of teach ing improvements. But help could also come from the proposed Office of Instructiona l Development as well as the Intensive Englis h Language Institu te. I ·think it's better to have. some feedback than none at all." Michael Frisch, professor of history, pointed out that the purpose of the evaluations is to get people to think about improving themse lves, not to add n a di scussion of the proposed undergrad uate college. Bunn said th at subcommittee reports will be requested after spring vacation and, hopefully. a model will be approved in the fall of this year. If everything's on schedule, the undergraduate c9llege will begin in the fall of 1986. 'There are three sub-committees, Bunn saiQ: curriculum, advisement and administ rat ive structure. ' The curriculum group is looking first at the Y'3Y the ..de facto core courses" are ta)lght, Bunn said. Those are the courses that are considered building blocks and have large enrollments, such as math economics, psychology and sociology.

The committee is also trying to figure out the ki nd s of cou rses that really constitute a general educatio n, he said . Th ere aren't enough new courses dCsigned for general ed ; instead a number of existing courses are used. " I have in mind aski ng senior faculty members to de sign first-principles courses, .. Bunn said. Bunn said his _persc;mal preference would be to deSign mterdtSctphnary · theme courses, such as a four-semester sequence in civiliz.ation. Malone asked whether Bunn thought the c urriculum co mm ittee could provide a focus now when the general education committeee has studied the issue for about eight years: "They're not desperate, they're in intellectual ferment ," Bunn said . ·"They're looking at parallel issues, but they're not going back to square o ne. " he job" of the adviseme nt sub· committee is to look at the way acaOt:mic ad visement and career counseling mesh, Bunn said . There is a good deal of slipp:!ge between the undergraduate program and the major. . Bunn is head of the th1rd subcommittee , administration. Thomas Barry, chairman of the Department of ~lassia;, questioned whether any changes had been made in the structure smce Bunn's December memo. None had , Bunn replied . The undergraduate college "would be administer~d by ADCAS" and fit mto 1ine under the provostal system, Bunn said.

Hammond, who is also a research assistant in UB's Department of Oral Biology. is refe rring to the status of the ongoing controversy between righi-to-life and pro-<:hoice • Sin'\:,: 1979 Hammo nd has been active in the Pf-q-choice movement. ''I n 1973~Supoeme Court said abo rtions shoul e safe and legal [Roe v. Wade]; my rna n thrust at this point is to ~intain that. I want to be sure that women - young women , minors , poor women - have access to safe and legal abortions," Hammond said. An indicator of escalating violence over the abortion issUe is the bombing of abortion and family planning clinics. "'There have been over 30 att ac ks this year," said Hammond. Clinics nationwide have been su bjected to fire bombings, arso n and the use of explosives. These crimes are the acts of a small faction of the anti-abortion movement, according to Hammo nd . grOill/S. ammond cited one group called the Army of God. ·•It 's a small radical group of the Ri gh t to Life Movement that has taken the law into its own hands," s he said . "Si nce they can't get the law changed they're go ing to sh ut down the clinics in their own way." All investigations in to criminal attacks on clinics have been handled by the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco. and Firearms. The groups th at Ha mm ond works wi th fi nd thi s unsatisfactory. .. We pro pose that these auacks a re ter- H should have the FBI investigate because that is the branch of the government that inves tigates terroris m," Hammond said. She added that Reagan claims to be slro ngl y opposed to all terrorism but seems to have neglected to act to stop the clinic bombings. " He is the most pro-life preside nt We've ever had ; we feel he's being very selective in hi s figh t agains t terrorism.'' Hammond said. Hammond has noted that even legitimate anti-abortion groups have increased their aggressf've ness. J "What they do is what we call'sidewalk harassment. ' They'll stand in fron t of an abortion clinic and try to talk the women o ut of having an abortion as th ey go in." Hamm o nd said. Hammond added that th ese groups feel that they have nothing to lose by being forceful.

A number of myt hs have been in ve nted to make th e co ntac.ts more difficult. say. th at visiting our semina rs by foreig n scientists may do harm to the institution s that host the visitor. or tlrat it may do harm for us etc.. up to direct slanders in our address .

"' We will be lob bying to mak e sure th at a ny j udges c hose n so lely on the basis of th eir anti-a bo rtio n positions will no t be a pproved," Hammond said . Th is possibility aside, anti-abortion grou ps have had little success trying to cha nge the law. "'The right-to-life groups have tried va rio us legislati ve maneuvers to pro hibit abortion but they have not been s uccess· ful. In fact th e Supreme Court reaffirmed Roe v. Wad e this past year by st ri king dow n very restricti ve local and State laws that would have d~mand e d a three.<Jay waiting period befo re havi ng an abortio n," Hammond said . In June of 1980 a Supreme Co urt rul ing gave Cong ress and th e state leg islatures the opt ion \O pay for medically necessa ry abortions. This rul ing gave each state the opti on to provide or deny Medicaid abortions. This is the o nl y legislative issue that Hammond credits to th e benefi t of the pro-life movement. "They're trying to whittle away little by litt le the abortio n rig hts of the yo ung and th e poor. t hose who really can 't s peak for themselves," she said. New York State is o ne of nine states which provide Medicaid ~ bortions. at a cost of $ 17.2 mi lli on per 500,000 a borti o ns. Compared to the $29.2 milli on spen t per 12.500 Medicaid births. this cost is not excessive. Regardless of thi s fac t Ham mond does not look a t th e abor· tion o ption as "cost effective.·· " R egardless of the cost of Medi caid abo rt ions. the point is that poor women should have the sa me access to safe a nd legal abortions as more affluent women. There shou ld not be a two-tiered health ca re system in th is co untry where the affluen t can have the bes t care possible and poor people have to fe nd for themselves." Hammond said. Abortion rights for minors is a battle· grou nd Hammond is preparing for. ''There will b.e a ve ry s trong m ove in Ne\\• York State to pass a law which will mandate parental consent for min ors," she said. Hammond strongly opposes thi s idea. " If you read case histo ries of min ors who have had abortions, you realize t hat their family si tuations are so hor rible th at if they wou ld ha ve had t o ge t parental consent it would have destroyed them.'' she said. .. I do no t think th at the State can legis· late good family relati onships: if we auempt to do that we will only make a bad si tua ti on worse," she said. Hamm ond added that mandatory parem a! consent would lead to more selfinduced and "'back alley" a bortio ns. greatly increasi ng the health risk to minoPS. Hammond will attempt to counteract th is and other actions of the pro-life advocates through th e heighfened awareness of all Americans. "It's basically a matter of counteracting them through education." H ammond said ~'From what I see that 's one of my major responsibilities." 0 Executive Editor University Publ iCations ROBERT T.

Sheila Puffer, of the School of Management plans to use her Individual Faculty Development Grant (IFDG) to study this phenomenon - when she gets around to it. ''Everyone is allowed two procrastina- ~ tion jokes, but that's it!, "said Puffer who is used to being the subject of such jokes. She defines procrastination as "putting off something you know in your heart you should be doing." She added that although it has not been extensively stud ted, IllS a phenomenon whtch has many innuences on organizational behavior. "In managerial journals there are billions of articles relating to time manage- ment , but they mostly deal with how-to methods which don1 ex plain the reasons lor improper time use and are not effec- tive in all situations," Puffer sa id . Puffer feels motivation is closely re lated to procrastination but on a different dimension than has been studied . .. The work on motivation looks at the strength of effon and not the direction of effort: I would like to look at the direction ," she said. Currentl y Puffer is determining what method she will use with the help of ljer research assistant James Brakefield , a doctoral student in the School of Management . "I would like to develop a "lab stud y to look at procrastination m a controlled situation and I would also like to look at the real world through questionnaires and interviews with actual business peo- ple," Puffer said.

Goumain explains that high tech industries , despite their tremendous growt h in the lasi2Qyears, still constitute only a small portion of the nation 's gross natiOna l product. "Neve rtheless. in direct terms. •• says Goumain, " high technology industries have become extremely influential. lndeed,lhey have had a ripple effect throughout the eco no my. and have set new standards for the workplace." Continues Goumain: .. A new building type has aciUally evolved as a sorl of hybrid between the earlier industrial and • office categories. Its characteristics are itill ill-<lefined , though there is much new knowledge which we will draw upon during our conference. This knowledge cenlers on present-<lay demand for high tech production environments and the technical requirements of building and suppl ying these production environments." The UB professor adds !hat high tech- _ nology workplaces. by their very nature, requ ire a close link with the .. brainpower" of a strong research university such as UB. Also, lhe designer musl co nsider the unu sual na ture of the high technology work place. o ne which links "people. process and place" in ways unkn own to traditional industry. Many of the high tech settings (science or resea rch parb and th e like) arc gove rned by strict building covenants intend ed to ensure a ce rtain aesthetic qualit y. Also. Goumain adds. "it is important to desig n these enviro nments so that the highl y skilled white collar and technical e mployees need ed will. indc.:d. be attracted to these work se ttings.

However, the Trus tees, chancellor. and ca m.. pus presidents would be given more authority, responsibility, and nexibility in managing reso urces. This would be accomplished by amending the State Education Law under which SUNY originally was created in 1948 as a conventional state agency. Unde r that law. Universi ty administrators are required to act under regulatory restraints which th e Ind ependent Commission and SU Y agree arc inappro priate to a major educa ti onal institution. In its "statemen t of intent and purpose" in restructuring SUNY as a public corporation, the draft bill said: ''Gove rning bodies of public universities in other states enjoy a greater level of manageme nt flexibility in the administration of their respective instituti o ns th an is available under cu rrent state law by the (SUNY Trustees). As a consequence. these institutions in other states have a greater competitive advantage ove r (SUJI!Y) in recruiting · students and faculty and attracting research and philanthropic s upport." It added that the Board "should be provid_ed greater management nexibility in governance in order to enhance the ability of the campuses of,the University to improve the quality of higher education." . Under the . corporation structure, no basic change is contempl~ted in the manner in which SUNY's annual budget is developed and appropriated.

The public corpo ration concept proposes that th e funds be gra.nted to SUNY as ·a "consolidated budget ," giving the Trustees, chancellor, and campus presidents greater freedom to allocate and reallocate the resources within the established appropriation limits and policy directives.

Currently, purchasing and contracting is subject to prior approval of other state agencies, s uch as the Comptroller and the Office ofQeneral Services. as well as extensive, mandatory competitive bidd ing requi rements. This lengthy process frequentl y preve nts the UniversitY from taking advantage of favorable pricing opportunities or securing the best equipment to meet the specialized needs of the campuses. Under the bill, the Trustees would have the authority to contract and to set bidd ing requirements. With respect to personnel, the Universi ty would continue its current collective bargaining relationships with employee unions, and personnel would continue to have State-employee status for purposes of all employment-related benefits. A Howeve r, in the profess ional se rvice levels, the Trustees would have authority to classify positions, make transfers of positi o ns between campuses, and establish compensation for managerial and confidential employees as well as for campus presidents and the chancellor. The draft legislation would not empower SU Y t o incur bonded indebtedness, nor would it alter the autho rit y of the Board of Regents to set policies and standards for education in New York State. The S U Y system's 30 community colleges would remain an integral part oft he University system under the public corporation structure. However, their operating procedures under which they also primarily are responsible to their local sponsors would be unchanged. 0 A Joint public hHrtng on " Public Education In New York Slate" being conducted by the N- York Stale Auembly Higher Education Committee end the New York Stete Senale HIGher Education Committee . wiH be held Frtday, Men:h 1, In Room 418 Cleveland Hall, Buffalo State College, beginning al 11 L m.

In the hi story Bach. performance practice, and to quicken the musical debate. Landow- ska 's was essentially a romantic interpretation, yet she, along with the organISt E. Power Biggs, did manage to "give back to the world something akin to Bach's original sound, .. says Rich. Since then. of course, musical scholarshi p ~as further illuminated the baroqu"- world, affording an unexpectedly ricft ·nsight into the so unds of Bach's time~For one thing. musicolo- gists have est lishl!l! that these were generally quiete sound s:, in some ways shar_,per and more colorful than today. In Harnoncourt's words, "the individual instruments were much more distinctive in their character than in the modern orchestra which has grown out of the requirements of the 19th century." Of course, as Richard Westonburg of New York's Opera Sacra notes, .. Most of our baroque concerts are in spaces out of proportion to Bach's church in Leipzig, which was not very big. Voices and instruments made an impact there that they can't in Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall." the present as a necessary improvement of art this alti tude has long been ou tdated; the present day is no longer regarded as the climax to which all "i mprovements' have led." Indeed, Harnoncourt continues, .. it was s hown that every •improvement' to an instrument has to be paid for with a deterioration. One s hou ld speak not so much of an improvement as of an alteration, by means of which the instruments were adapted to continually changing taste and continually new demands made by the composers ... But there is a broader question at bay in this thirst for authenticity. Contends Newsweek's Rich: "" In the end , the question ofthe'authentic' Bach can never be resolved: determining the genuine li -cle would require a time capsule containing an 'authentic' audience, one that had heard no Beethoven , no Wagner, no Beatles - nothing from the interven- . ingcenturies - and ready to react to the quotient of daring in Bach as his own listeners had . It is far easier nowadays, however, to locate newly made instruments that closely resemble th ose of Bach's time: vio lins with gut strings. end-blown nutes, high trumpets and the like. Does an orchestra using such instruments guarantee a greater prox- imity to Bach than an intelli~ent use of ' 'normal' instruments? On thts questiOn the musical world stands divided ." In an excellent 1976 article for Commentary. musician / writer Edw~rd Rothstein poin ts to what he perce1ves are dangers in an overzealous quest _for an unsullied "authenticity." "Mus1cal orthodoxy insists that the texts of the past a re primarily hi storical documents rather than artistic ones, and to the extent th at they speak to th e present they must do so with the voice of the past , to th e exten t that they are to be appropriated artistically they ca n be appropriated in only one mode .. ThiS thesis is as misapphed to mus1c as IllS to the exegesis of the Bible." Another danger: ''Thei r interpretations tend to be stylized and ove rdrawn , and so much attention is paid to detail that the drama gets lost." Still, as Rothstein makes clear, it is ridiculous to deny the great worth of the authentic renderings of Bach. ""These record ings (on baroque instruments) are important for the sc ho la rsh ip they reflect , for their resto ration of a "baroque' sound, for their debowdlerization of the text. After hearing therri and living in their world it is difficult to go back to the performances of Karl Richter. or Robert Shaw, witho ut missing the clarity of articulated phrase and audible score which Harnoncour.t and (Gustav) Leonhardt have achieved.·· ne recalls the wistful tone of Charles Sanford Terry. writing in his 1932 "It is a misfortune that Bach's o boe music is so sel<!.om rendered by the instruments for which he wrote it. The modern oboe accu- 0Bach's Orchestra: rately replaces neither his ordinary instrument nor the oboe d'amore, for which it is generally made to deputize." So, despite well-founded fears that the authenticity craze could become pompous, even self-i ndulgent , Lawless and others argue persuasively that so mething had to be done about the stylistic amplifications of the 19th century Bach revivalists. These "stylisms," Lawless argues , " had encrusted the insp iration s of an earlie r age ... Moreover, Lawless considers the concep t of performances using peri od in s trum en ts, .. a vita l, enlivening approach to 18t h century masterworks, rather than an esoteric pursuit." Founded in 1970, Ars Musica won High Fidelity "s "Critics' Choice" award for its 1980 recording, with the Early Music Choir, of Handel's Messiah. The o rchestra also performed the M essiah in a performance broadcast throughout the nation by National Publ ic Radio. Ars Musica has performed to a full house at Washington 's Smithsonian Instit ution a nd unites professional musicians of diverse talents, interests and experience. Several members were introduced to baroque instruments at an early age; one orchestra member has studied the acoustical properties of 18th cent ury performa nce halls in England, France and Ital y.

These units include Arts and Letters. Management, S IL S , Social Work, Health Related Professions, and Law. Priority goes to new faculty or to established faculty who wish to pursue a new direction or a new area of research.

The beeping sound changed little since the tip of the probe was still exposed and was stil l detecting back'ground radiat io n. · But when the tip of the p; obe was placed against the VDT scree n, the beeping actually became slower. The needle on the meter indicated less radiati o n. This was because any X-ray emission from the VDT was negligible. possi bly even non-exi stent. and the casing o n th e VDT actually helped shield the meter from background radiation .

Th e Food and D rug 1\"tlministra ti on"s Bureau of Radio logical Health. which meas ures rad ia tion in VDis. reported that " video display terminals sho uld not pose a-radiation risk to th ose who o pera te them." Hunt noted that there are no radioactive materials in a VDT: any X-rays in th e equ ipmen t are caused by high po wer electricity. Sherman added that the need for high power has been reduced because of the innovation 9f microcircuitry. A represe ntative of t he American College o f Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated that radiation from VDT's "is insufficie nt to cause spo ntaneous abortions. birth defects. or any other adverse effect on reproductive function. ·· acco rd ing to an article in the Occupational 'safety & Health Reporter.

Ars Mu sica, an acc laimed baroque chamber music o rchestra fro m Ann Arbor, Michigan, will play all six Bra ndenburg Co ncertos. using facsimiles of baroque instruments, plus o ne original viola. In addition to vio lins, vio las, nut~ and cellos built to replicate the instruments of Bach's t ime, the Slee audi ence will hear the gamba from the Italian viola do gamba or " knee fiddle ... By the 16th century, gam bas had become highly sensiti ve instruments a nd were built in various sizes (descant , alt o, tenor, small bass, large bass, and contra-bass). In the seco nd Brandenburg Conce rt o, Ars Musica founder and director Lyndon Lawless has indicated the use of the natura l ho rn rather tha n the usual trumpet. Other period instruments to be heard include the reco rder, the threekey o boe, I he five-key bassoon, a "harpsicho rd built by David Sutherland of Ann Arbor, and the viol in o piccolo. a s mall vio lin tu ned a mi no r third higher than a co nven ti onal violi n. Keith Hi ll of Gra nd Ra pids built the majority of the s tring instrum ents, working closely with Ars Musica mu icians in the process. Manha S10kely, th e orc hes tr a's three-key oboist , says facsimiles are used for several reasons. For one thing, originals in good sha pe are ex tremely diffi cult to obt ain, if not prohibitively expens ive. Also. man y technical changes have occ urred , especiall y in the case o f the string instruments. Explains Nikolaus Harno ncourt , founder of the Conce ntus Musicus Wien, a European group which records .. a uthentic" performances of Bach and others. using period inst ruments, origi nal instrumentation , and res tored scores: .. The bowed instruments, the core of every ensemble, look almost exactl y 1he sa me as tho e of 250 years ago, indeed instrumenls of 1his period are still freq uently played . But in the 19th ce ntury these instruments underwent profoun d structural cha nges 1n o rder to adapt them to the new requirements. panicularly with regard to vo lume and tone colour. (The Stradivari violin so unded qui1e differen t at t he time when it was made compared wi th how il ·ounds today. No beller or wo rse. tun fundamentally different.)" The differences in woodwind instruments are more apparent. Today's woodwinds have many more keys and o ther mechanical playing aids. Harnonco urt points out. -whereas the varying tone colours of the se mi-tones produced by cross fingerings on 1he keyless instrume nt s were particularly valued (during the baroque period) - the ' 'arious to nalities thus acquiring dis tinctive c haracters - si nce the 19th cenwry the aim has Deen as s mooth a chromatic )tale as possible and a maximum of dynamics ... As lor the horns a nd trumpets, they were .. purely natural instruments until well into the 19th ce ntu ry, i.e., on ly the C A upper harm o nics o f a fundame ntal note co uld be produced on them." Valves were la1er added , thu s enabling the inst rum en talist to play all the chromatic no tes lyi ng in between the natura l no tes. In playing all six Brandenburg Concenos, Ars Musica will repeat its 1983 concert befo re a sold-out audience at ew York 's Merki n Concert Hall. Writes director La wless in hi s program notes: "'The o rder of the pieces in thi s performance ... has been dete rmined by practical co nsiderations m usicians' e ndurance, va rious changt:s of instruments, and late '20 th ce ntury programming logic. Since I do nol believe that the Brandcnburgs were intended to be performed in one evening, Ch is does not, for me, a t least, destroy a ny logic of ove ra ll co nstruction. But j ust because they may not have been intend ed for a conti nu o us perform~nce, this does not mean we cannot have the happy experience of heari ng them this way." On March 24, 1721 , Bach dedicated the concertos to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenbu rg, whom he had met two years earlier in Be rlin . These concertos, copied out in complete score form by Bach fo r the dedicatory copy. were handed down from perso n to person fo r the next century and were first printed in 1850 in commemoration of the cente nary of Bach's dea th . The late 19th ceniUry Bach scholar, Spi n a. apparen1 ly coined the phrase. .. Brand enburg Concertos" and as such they ha ve bee n an established pan of 1he orchest ral pie). Sometimes the Branden burgs are mixtures of the concerto grosso and the solo co ncert; that is, there is o ne predomin ant soloist agai nst an orchestral selling. Says Horace Wo r k: "'The sco ring is pure evidence of Bach's genius and the six con.c ertos, despite thei r d ive rsity, clearly function together as a g ro up." The Branden burgs were forgotten afte r Bach's death , as was the case with his vast o utput as a whole . Even toward the end of hi s life- time, he was see n as an old-fas hioned compose r, whose baroque co mplexity was so mehow out of ste p with the linear tun efulness of the new classicism. Then came J ohan n Nichola us Forkel's 1802 essay, "On Johann Sebastian Bach's Life, Genius, and Wo rk s, "which stimulated renewed interest in Bach's music. New editio ns of Bach's works we re subseq uently published , and performances by Beeth ove n, Czerny, Zeiter, Schumann and Mendelsso hn led to a true rev ival. After a lapse of over 100 years , then, the Branden burg Concertos were first perfo rm ed for th e general public by Fritz Steinbach and his Mei ninge n Orchestra. 1n de bating the merits of playing Bac h o n period instrument s vs. modern o nes, the musical world stand s divided , wrote Alan Rich in a recent Newsweek cove r story o n the March 21 worldwide o bservance of the tricentenary of Bach's birth . There were lamentable, thpug h understandab le, devi ati ons in the 19th cen tury. Wrot e Ric h: "'The Bac h taken to hea n by the Ro mantics was. of cou rse, an impure product.

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

Wagner, vice president for university services. announced Tuesday. Naylor has been at the University for the past 17 years and has served in several administrative posts, including both associate dean and acting dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. He holds the M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard and did hisundergraduatework at Hamilton College. He was on the Harvard faculty for three years as an instructor before joining J U B as an assistant professor of history in 1967. He was associate dean of Social Sciences from 1978to 1981 and spent two terms in the dean's chair on an acting basis, the most recent being from January to August 1982. He is editor of Britain /919-1970 (1971), an anthology from the New York Times with an introduction. and of the Peerage Bill of 1719 an/J the British Aristocracy, one of seve volumes in an Oxford University P s series called Problems in European · tory: A Dorumentary Collection for hich he also State University of New York nee every four years our nation elects a president. Once every four years people from across the country cram into Washington, D.C. to witness the stan of this president's term in office, to participate in his weekend-long victory celebration. "The inauguration is pan historical and pan hysterical," says one Washington socialite. Dr. Gerald Goldhaber, chairman.of the Department of Communicatioa, would most likely agree with this description. As a political poUster for Congressman J aclc: K.emp and the Republican pany, Goldhaber attended both the 1981 and 1985 Preside~tiallnaug ural celebrations and considers himself a veteran inauguration guest. He sees aspects of the event _in the varying reasons people attend. Being an inaugural guest i.s no incxpenslve propo-sition, Goldhaber points out. He estimates that the average cost o( the inaugural weekend for one couple amounts to at least $3500, a sum which includes airfare, hotel accommodations and the rather pricey tickets for such activities as the Presidential balls and for seats at the inaugural parade. What, then, nlakes people throughout the nation fight for a chance to spend the money? One reason, Goldhaber suggests, is the opportunity to panicipate in an historical event. "It's part power - a chance to feel yourself a pan of history, to panicipate in a famous event, "' the pollster comments. "If you're a big contnbutor to the f>any, an invitation is sort of a reward. Some people attend o ut of pany loyalty or because the networking that takes place at the inaugural iS good for business you can make a lot of good contacts there." Many inaugural guests, though, look forward to the event for a rather different reason. They go for the social contacts, the inaugural parties, because the inaugural weekend is a star-studdl;il string of fast-paced -social events. ··The inauguration ceremony is only a few minutes •.., · says Goldhaber. "The rest is panics, and I like the parties!" he range of inaugural get-togethers provides something to fit just about any cosmopolitan taste. Goldhaber described various panics that he attended . Perhaps the ·most "taste-full" of these took place in the convenlion center outside the inaugural gala that the pollster also attended. Appropriately enutled "A Taste of the USA," this gathering featured the best chefs from America's most famous restaurants who cooked their specialties. It also gave guests a chance to T sample vintage f;...e from the 30 best wineries in the country. "The food was delicious," says Goldhaber. "For just $5 each, my wife and I ate the equivalent of two meals." A more exclusive though less gastronomically fulfilling pany was the one given by former New York gubernatorial candidate Lou Lehrman in honor of Edwin Meese and Jeane Kirkpatrick. Although the guests of honor did not appear until 4 a.m., many. other guests crowded into the house. "There was just oae staircase aod oae- elevator, •• reoaUs Goldhaber. "Getting one strawberry was a major accomplishment!" The pany did have some interesting guests, however. "'I met Estee Lauder - I introduced myself. She replied, 'My name is Lauder, as in Estee•, .. says Goldhaber, imitating the response of the cosmetic empress in the drawl of a society sophisticate. Despite wealth and glamour, many of the inaugural guests did one of the same things that weekend in Washington that the folks back home were doing - they watched the Super Bowl. Finding no other time open during the weekend in which to hold his get-together, N.Y. Senator Alfonse D'Amato held a "Super Bowl Pany.""lt was quite a good pany," remembers Goldhaber. "D'Amato held it in the Folger Shakespeare Library's mini Globe Theatre. At one end of this hall was a buffet and a string quanet. At the other - and most of the people were at this end - was the Super Bowl, projected on a giant TV screen.,. If football proved too tame and unexciting a sport, an inaugurai"'Toga Party'" was also on the weekend schedule. Looking undoubtedly more like characters from Animal House than dignified patricians of ancient Rome, party-goers threw dignity to the winds and donned bed sheets and laurel wreaths for yet another bash ... Everyone had a good time,, muses Goldhaber. "It was quite a sight - all those fat Republicans in togas! " The most famous inaugural paQies a.re, however, the Presidential balls. Nine balls are held, with those invited to attend assigned to them according to state affiliation. The Reagans made the rounds of the balls, staying only a shon time at each one. The President spoke at each and then danced a few dances with Nancy. · "An experienced ballgoer doesnl THE INAUGURAL Its half historical, half hysterical �February 21 , 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 Inaugural From page 1 expect to dance much - it"s j ust too crowded,"' explains Go ldh aber. ··vou get there as early as possi ble a nd ge t as close to the podium where the Preside nt is go ing to speak as you can, so you can get good pictures.

Eve n after the $250 per co up le price tag, though, you still have to pay fo r dri nk~." Goldhaber recourns an unusua l eptsode th at took place at t he ina ugural ball he attended . '' My wife an d I left soon after the President did so we d id n't actually see th is," he comments. " Most people waited until the Vice President Came, aro und II :30. After he left there was a rus h for coats. Of course there was a security check when you wen t to get your coat - they have to check I. D ."s and so );";;"'People so metimes had to wait up to ~o ur.

A lot of mink coats we re stolen.

"'The economic recovery was obvious. More mo ney was spent by those attend ing - and more must have been made by the organizers - because !he en rertai nment was absolute ly no good." Both of Reagan's inaugural celebrations stand out because of thei r elaborate price tags. With a more populist " We the People "theme. however, this year's eve nt was $4 mi llion less expensive than the ~ 1 6 mil lio n ex travaga nza th at launched the President's first term. Perhaps the thing that most distinguished the 1985 inaugural, though , was the temperature. " In 1981 it was 45 degrees," remembers Goldhaber. "This year it got down to 40 below with the wind chill factor. The actual temperature ranged from five degrees above to five below zero. The parade was cancelled and the actual inaugural ceremony was he ld indoors. It was so cold that the politicians actually had their hand s in their own pockets!·· Now that the inaugural pomp and parties are over for another four years, Goldhaber ha returned to the equally chilly climate of Buffalo. He doesn 't 1 expect this to be his last inauguration. however.

On May 18, he will speak at the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences· commencement at 2 p.m. in Alumni Arena and present the U B Oag which accompanied him on the mission. Jarvis, a native of Mohawk , N.Y ., and employee of Hughes Aircraft Company's Space and Communications Group, received the B.S. in electrical engineering from UB in 1967. A payload specialist on the mission, he is the first industry representative in space to participate in launching a privately owned satellite.

The program 's degree proposal has been approved by the State Department of Education. Up to now, students could take undergraduate courses in Women's Studies, but could receive only an undergrad uate degree with a major in American Studies and a concentration in Women's Studie~. she explained.

Jarvis was employed by Raytheon while completing theM .S. in electrical engineering at Nonheastern Universi ty. While wit h that company, he was involved in circuit design of the SA M-D missile. In 1969 , he joined the U.S. Air Force and was assigned to the Space Division in El Segundo, Calif. As a communications payload engineer in the satellite communications program offict, Jarvis worked on advanced tactical communications satellites as well as on form ul at io n. source selection and early design of the FLTSATCOM communications payload. After discharge from the service, he joined Hughes Aircraft Company's Space and Commu nications Group in 1973, first as a communications subsystem engineer on the MARISAT program. In 1975, he was nam ed spacecraft test a nd integration manager for MAR lSAT F-3 which was placed into geosynchrono us orbit in 1976. Jarvis was later a member of the System s Applications Laboratory, involved in the concept definition for advanced UHF and SHF communications for the strategic forces. In )978, he joined the Advanced Progra m Laboratory where he worked on form ulation a nd subsequent proposals for the SY COM / LEASAT program. Prior to his selection for the March mission. Jarvis worked on advanced satellite designs in the Systems Appli ca· tion Laboratory. The personable UB graduate who plays sq uash and racquetball enjoys wh ate water river rafting, cross country skiing, backpacki ng, and bicycling. Fo r relaxation. he plays classical guitar. He is married to- the former Marcia Jarboe. Dr. George Lee, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, says it's an honor that one ofUB"s engineering graduates has been selected as an astronaut. "We are pleased he s pecificall y requested a nag from here to tak~ on t.he mission and look forward to havmg ham deliver our commencement address ... he adds. D Women's Studies BA The und ergraduate program is a building block for the graduate program. Meyerowitz said. The underJlraduate degree program means ··public recognition that this is an important field for undergraduate student s," ~ h e said : .. It 's a fuller recognition of the ume and effort student s put in ." 0 ne of the things that makes UB's program unique is its ve ry strong Third World Women component, Meyerowitz saad. There are onl y about four (i"r five programs nationally with such an emphasis, Kennedy added . Ana Hidalgo, lecturer, is coordinator of that component. Studying the feminist movenle nt in othe r co~":tries gives a new perspect iv~ the f~mamst movement here, Hidalgo explamed: The movement in other countries is based more on economics and human rights than it is here, she said. In addition, the Th ird World Women component gives support to minority women at UB, Hidalgo said. When Women ] Studies wa~ started one or J. wo minority, women wou ld t ake~ course. th en disappear. she found . They came to Wom en' Studies look ing for support as women. But finding they ~ere the only minorities. they again felt aso· lated and left, she said. There is now a lot more retention of minorit y women in Women's Studies because of the component, she said. and it has had at least some impact on the Universi ty as a whole. Hidalgo said that minority women in the typically male areas of the sciences. management and architecture often get strength and support through the component. nother unique aspect of . UB's Women's Studies program IS 1ts practicum . Students can earn academic credit by working in commu-nity agencies, such as fhe battered wo men's shelter or Emma. rhe women 's bookstore.

"The co nstruction causes a problem of changing bo undaries; it's hard to kee p up adequate signs and lighting along the current path ... eve n during the day it's hard to find your way through," Gale said . This problem is o ne that Gale can see a solu tion to. "What is needed is reflecti ve "Sig ns th at point rhe way, and mo re of them than are up now," she said. Concerns were also voiced about the lighting of both campuses. " People don't seem to be conce rned about [installing] new lighting as much as they feel there should be more frequent checks to co rrect lights that ate there but aren 't working," Gale noted. Locking outside doo rs of the dormit ories at night has been proposed several times as a solution to safety proble ms. ••The atti t ude see ms to be that if we lock the do rm doors, everything will be okay. I don't think that 's the caoe. " Gale said .

R I T C H I E t its meeting of December II the Faculty Senate passed a resolution (see the Reporter, Dec. 13 pg. 5) concerning minodty hiring which is repugnant to my moral and rat ional beliefs and is counter to the best interests of the University and society. In the strong desire to dissociate myself from this resolution, and in the hope_that some of my colleagues will be Stimulated to examine their motives for _a~ opting the resolution , I state my 'pOSitiOn. . In an ideal university and society, no JUdgment of a person 's abilities or worth would be based , in any degree , on race· or sex . If this proposition be accepted , our present actions concern-ing discrimination - s h~ould be judged on whether or not they lead us toward th is ideal. The justification, as- I understand it. for favorable consideration of minorities and women as set forth in the resolutiori is that such consideration is necessary to correct the present situation of underrepiesentation of these groups in highly desirable and / or prestigious positions. There is no doubt that sUch underrepreseOtation exists, and that it resulted from racial and A sexual prejudices. In highly exceptional circumstances, even distasteful means might be just ified to achieve highly desirable goals. When such means are considered , however, one should be unusually careful that they will significantly further the goal without serious negative consequences. There are some hard fact s which indicate clearly that implementation of the resolution will no t significantl y advance the high goal and will have serious negative consequences. It is a well-documented fact that new minority and female candidates for University faculty positions are in short overcome by "aggressively" recruiting such people ftom positions already held at other institutions. Again, the supply is short and competition heavy. ven if we can overcome the E competition and hire from this group of people. what have we accomplished beyond a mere appearance of righteousness? Perhaps the proper function of this University will be aided by lhe presence of role models for our minority and female students? Is this_ "advance" worth the price? I thmk that one might legitimately question wheth er or not academicans are such highly desirable role models.· "There are some hard facts which indicate that implementation will not significantly advance the goaL" supply and highly competed for. This is particularly true in the "hard " sciences of chemist ry and physics. In chemistry, for example, there are fewer than 20 Ph.D. degrees awarded to blacks per year in the entire nation. The problem h~re cannot be solved by special recruiting among an already highly sought after group; the solution must be based on increasing the supply. It has been su!lllested that the difficulties which the sc1ence departments. particularly, will experience in successfully hiring minorities and women at the st~rting level might be A Cllmpus community .newspaper published each Thursday by the Division of Public Affairs, State University ol New York at Buffalo.

I ~ is" a fact that fore.ign students, parucularl.y Ja~anese. and Chinese, regard our U_mversny, and especially the · Chem1stry Department, as a desirable source of education. It seems that differences of cultural and racial factors of the students and faculty do not senously detract from the educational process. The Senate resolution , if followed , would reward those departments wh ich .are s~ccessful in hiring minorities. and females. In the zero-sum game, this must me_a n that le~s successful departments will be puniShed by having posi- Director of Public Affairs HARRY JACKSON • See Minority, page 9 tions taken away. Since there are significant differences in the pool of minority and female candidates in various fields, it is ine vitable that some fields will suffer. Unfor· tunately, it is precisely those fields which are needed to increase the supply which will suffer losses. • . Even this might be tolerated in a situation where the adversely affected fields have more than the number of faculty to serve th eir functions. In view of the recent arguments against retrenchment in the University, one must be hard-pressed to maintain that this is. the situation existing here. An extremely bothersome side effect of "aggressive .. minority hiring is the potential for refueling racial and sexual prejudices. The "reverse discrimination" legal actions, which have attracted considerable attention , ma y b e symptomatic of much deeper problems. In recent yea rs, I have talked with se veral young people in competition for highly desirable placements who have . expressed deep resentment at the "unfa1r competition .. of minorities and females. Although my evidence for the existence of this problem is purely anecdotal. the phenomenon is well known in vario us contexts. In summary, the Faculty Senate . resolutign proposes the odious pracuce of judging persons on the basis of ~ace and sex without adequate justification of significant goals or consideration of negative consequences. The ·problem _of racial and sexual inequality is deservmg o~ more rational approaches. D Ca/!tln D. Ritchie Is a Department of Clleinlotry Faculty Senate representative.

Beatrice is a large com~ pany you may never have heard of. yet its products, such as Wesso n Oil, are very familiar. .. We're like Beatrice we've jlrovided all these services for all these years and nobody knows what we are," Hoffman said. Movies, an ambulance service. medical lab tests, concerts. group legal ser- vices. an employment service and a feature magazine are justa few of Sub-Board's offerings. Officially called SubBoard I, Inc., the "company" is a not-for-profit corporation ow~ and operated by lhe SIX student governments, HolTman explained. It reports to a board of directors apj)ointed by the student oo;ver·nn,erus. Services are provided for, and in \many cases, by. students. The executive committee is composed of Bill Hooley, treasurer, who is studying for a · master's degree in comparative literature; Bill Kachioff, lhe Undergraduate Student Association representative who is planning to study accounting, and Hoffman, a law student. While it works closely with SA and the Division of Student Affairs, SubBoard is not pan of those groups. ··we are an entity unto ourselves!"said Gabrielle Miskell, executive director. Sub-Board offers a wide range of services in five divisions, including health care. UUAB, publications and Squire / Amhem. But first and foremos t, it is the accounting and dispersing agent for UB's mandatory fee, Hoffman explai ned. Sub-Board's bookkeepin~ IS . constantly audited, Hoffman satd. Miskell added that the University has the prerogative to perform audits. Sub-Board has a budget of about $2.5 million, Hoffman said. About $340,000 comes from the mandatory student fee and the rest comes from fees for services and sale of tickets. · . The SUNY Board of Trustees dictates that the student fee be spent for education. culture, recreation~ and service, Hoffman said. That doesn\ leave out much but political activities. a physical on-campus through the administration's University Health Service~ they were inconvenienced by havi ng to go off<ampus for accompanying lab tests. So the Sub-Board Clinical Lab was set up. Since the lab works closely with the University Health Service, most students don't re alize they're separate ventures. Hoffman pointed out. The Clinical Lab doubles as a teaching lab and works closely with the Medical Technology Department , providing internships. The same sort of arrangement exists with the Sub-Board Ph armacy. Working closely with University Health Service, it provides medication for students. But it's also a cooperative venture with the School of Pharmacy and provides a teaching ven.ue. Other health care services include the· AntiRape Task Force. which provides an escort service andeducation;theS.U.R.E (Students United for Real Emergencies) hottine, which provides peer counseling and crisis intervention; a health insurance plan: the Sexuality Education Center, which operates a birth control clinic and provides counseling, and the Baird Point Volunteer Ambul ance Corps, Inc. Some of the most visible and well known S~:~Vices of Sub-Board are provided through UUA B. They include films. cultural and performing art programs coffeehouses with folk mu sic. and other ~ncerts. A so und service provides equipment rental and public address systems for groups who have speakers, Hoffman said. Under the Publications Division come Generation. a weekly feature magaz.ine; the Innovative Publications Board , and WRUB. The Innovative Publications Board provides grants for handbooks and other publications. It bas worked with Rachel Carson College in the past and has worked on an art and writing contest with SUB-BOARD Now in its 14th year, Sub-Board I,Inc. - and its funny name - got its start with the Faculty Student Association. When U B became a public universfty in 1962. the FSA took over certain functions including the bookstore, food services, and handling of student fee~. explained Edward W. Doty, vtce preSIdent for finance and management. n the mid to late '60s, students got . more control over student fees, he said. In addition, the economic danger of lawsuits for student newspapers increased because of the material they were printing. Those papers were funded through FSA. "Charles Balkin, who was controller tb'en. and I thought it would be good to create a student group with fiSCal status," Doty said. "And the students wanted it, so there was a meeting of the minds lhat wasn \ very common in those days." FSA had several sub-boards with different purp<>Sd. 'The first one handled I fees. ·ne name was carried forward because the functions were the same," Doty said, hence, Sub-Board I. "By and large it's a very effective and very good thing," he satd, "and I'm not just saying lhat because I'm one of the Like Beatrice, this student ·company' bnngs you more familiar •products' than you ever realized founders. "It's a st udent-run, student-managed corporation. Since it is a corporation~ if they're goin$ to do something illegal or silly,(.hey thtnk twice. The student directors would be held liable, not a group of University administrators. "It's another step in their educationbringing responsibility closer to privilege or authority. It's a very constructive part of their general education." The administration doesn\ plan to limit Sub-Board's power, he said . "If it's not broke, don\ fix it," Doty • stated simply. No other four-year school in the SUNY system gives its students as much - independence as UB students enjoy wi.th Sub-Board, he said. reasurer Hooley would extend that T statement to include most schools in the country. Three or_four years ago, he ·anended a conference in Cliicago as film prop:ammer fort he University Union ActivIties Board, better known as UUAB. UUAB is a division of Sub-Board that providesentertainmeDl and art programs. At the conference, Hoole)' found that the entertainment boards of most of the otlier schools had full-time people to oversee them. "They couldn \ fathom how we could be student-run- not only the film program or UUAB, but the whole corporation," he said .... We're unique in that sense because of the responsibilities we have." -"Sub-Board was a creative risk," added Miskell. "It's flourished. We've proven ourselves." Sub-Board tends to provide services that the metropolitan Buffalo community can\ provide, she explained. For instance. even though students co uld get Ckneration. WRUB 640 AM is the student radio station which, it is hoped , will be upgraded to FM, Hoffman said. Currently, lhe signal is not broadcast, but carried over electrical wires because of the scarcity of broadcast frequencies available, he said. he final division •. Squire / Amherst. provides a number of servtces. The Ticket Office acts as a vendor for CTO Festival Ticket Rack and Ticketron for on- and off-campus events. Like Sub-Board's other servtces. the Ticket Office is not intended to make a profit. The Record Outlet is a service that Sub-Board took over from SA. B~cause -of Sub-Board's business orientatton, tl was better able to handle the outlet, Hoffman said. . The Student Employment Office tnes to locate short-term or part-time jobs and internships for students. It works closely with lhe administration's Career Ptanning Offtee which is geared to more longterm positions. . . The House Council is the coordmaung body lhlll is =ponsible fo~ n~dent acuvity space. It advises the DtvtSton of St_udent Affairs how the space should be used and its advice is usually followed , Hoffman said . . - Group Legal Services is a _counseling agency that gives initial direcuon tn legal problems. Its lawyers do not represent a T �February 21, 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 student: but will tell a studeJlt whether he or she needs to obtain an attorn~. Group Legal Services usually handles matters such as tenant / landlord disagreements. Other services include Off-campus ousing, Browsing Library, Music Room and Draft Education Center. The University administratiOn and Sub-Board often work together on proiects: Usually the University pro vides hys ical serv1ces. Miskell said. For instance, gas and maintenance are rovided to the ambulance corps through ublic Safety. she said . Sub-Board proides cash. insurance, supplies and !Taining. The ambulance corps is an example of ;orne of the odd relationships that form Sub-Board and other group ambullan<ce <:on~s is legally not a part aseparateeotity, HoffThat's because the is one where the risk Sub-Board funds amtbula•ICC"colrns. th,en contracts with For other groups, Sub-Board is the dispersing agent. It does the accounting fort he student newspaper. the Spettrum, and the Schussmeister. ski club, Hooley explained . hile student s are involved in SubBoard to keep an eye on their JllOney, it 's a lso a good place to get expenence. "They're youn g peo ple entering a profession," Miskell said. "Sub-Board offe r. them hands· on experie nce. ·• "The students get involved with some fairly responsible kind s of programs," Hoffman said . "They come out with at least a handfu) of skills." A student wh o works as a counselor in the Sex Education Center will probably W become a better communicator. he pointed o ut. '."If you work in legal services, you get a better idea if you want to be a lawyer when you grow up." he added facetiously. "UUAB was my rude awakening - it '\aught me how unfriendly the entertain- - ment business can be - really vicious." Whenever possible. students are in charge and fill the jobs. Positions are volurlteer~ stipended . pan-time or full-time. Outside people ,are hi red if a license or a time c o mmitment are required . explained Miskell. the highest ranking full-time paid employee. For example, licenses are requ ired for pharmac ists. But stude nt s also work in the pha rm acy thro ugh intern ships in their academic department s. Members o f the ambulance co rps a re all state-certified emergency medical techn icians. yet they're all vol unteers. Hoffm an sa id . The Sex Educa tion Ce nter has a fulltime d irector a nd relies heavily on voluntee r.. While they don' need certification, the vo lumeers· intensive training rivals that of the ambul ance per.onnel. he said: ln U UAB. the only full-time paid employee is a secretary. The director is a student who -rece ives a stipend , Hooley explained . About 15 or 20 people on th e office staff receiVe a student stipend and about 200 are volunteers or receive an hourly wage. ecause it pools students' money, SubB Boa rd can provide services th at no one st ude nt could affo rd, Hoffma n said. For inst ance. no single student could alTo rd to buy a mbu lance service th at's on campus 24 ho urs a day. Undergraduates pay $89 in student fees . That $89 wouldn ' last a day in a lawye r's office, be pointed o ut. and there wouldn ' be any money left for other ser- "Movies, ambulance service, concerts, legal services, a clinical lab, a magazine and employment help are jll;St a few of them." .

Hoffma n said. Unl ike clubs, which could j ust dro p an activity for a year, Sub- Board operates on the presumption that most of 1ts prograins will be funded year after year, be said. "We have a responsibility to o ur fulltime staff and outside contractOrs, •• Hoffman said. "If one program badlY overspends its budget, it could bring down the other programs or the whole thing.:'. Sub- Board is always o pen to new ideas for progra ms, Hoffma Ma id . A co up le of possibilities are a research or survey department run in cooperation with the Department of Communicatio n and a health maintenance organizatio n or HMO. Hoffman would like to see more pel ple become·involved with Sub-Board. " What is important is that students real i7.e that there is a corporation they ha ve an owners hip inte rest in with enormous possi bilities, .. he said ...T hey can get volunteer experience or jobs.

Wharton before e jolnl hei 'Hng of lhe Senate end Assembly Committees on Higher Educ• llon held Febru• ry 12, 1985, on the subject of lhe report of lhe Independent Commission on the Future of Stale Unl•e,.lly. A t the outset, J want to ex press my deep appreciation fo r prompt consideration by yo ur committees of the rep ort of the Indepen dent Commission o n the Future of ahe Saaae Universiay. Such speed is unu sual, given th e extensive and dramatic changes in the structure of th e State Unive rsi ty "that the ·commission recommends. However, I sha re the view expressed by you and your co lleagues tha t conditions addressed by th e report warrant such prompt acti on. Th&-4.1. idesp read positive response that the recommenda tio ns have received from he mcdi~ and the public also is most encou ragmg. The fou r hearings you have scheduled will. I am sure. elici t many helpful views on both the genera l and s pecific directions .outlined in the repo rt and g reatly assist your efforts to devise an appropriate legislative respo nse. Th e Ind epen de nt Commission did an excellent job in the yea r that it conducted its st ud y. Whatever hap pens. we owe a large debl of gratil ude lo I he men and women who gave so unselfishly of their time and talents in behalf of New York's state university. But the Commission's work esse nt ially is done. It has delivered its report to me and to the Trus tees. and now it is our responsibility to present to th e Execu tive and Legislative Branches our best judgment on the import of the recommendation s and how we believe they might most effecti-.ly be imp lemented. The report is remarkably complete in its desc riptions of the priority problems and issues. and succinct in its prescriptions for cures. so I will not take time reiterating the contents or elaborating on them . T o get right 10 the core issue. we fully agree\\ ith th e Commi::,sion that it is imperati\e to the succc::,::,ful future of public higher education in New York that th ere be structural changes of the magnitude recommended. Thi::, i!, not onl y essential to the well being of the State Unher::,itv. it also is crucial to the future heahh and vitali ty of the S tate and its people. SU:-IY must be permined 10 be a more forceful catalyst and asset if New York 's economy, society and culture are 10 prosper. Whaacver I he final shape t~i s new structu re may take. it should not be a piecemeal o r half-hearted measure. The situ<t tion demands no le::,s than bold strokes if we are to truly prove the merits of our case and hasten th e day that the rewards will begin to flow. In saying that, however. I want to stress that l .am not ad\ocating throwing away the current State University and building an entirely new one. That would be foolish and wasteful and unnecessary. Make no mistake abou1 il SUNY is a fine in tltution and it has greatness wi th in its grasp. The Lcgi::,lature and the people of New .York ha ve every reason to be proud of their University. as th e Commission's report made clear. This year, SUNY will produce ias onemillionth living graduate: "' colleges boast excellent undergraduate educat ion: and selected research and g raduate programs meet the highc!)t academic standards. We must be doing ~6mcthing right , and I share the recent observation by Senalor LaValle and Assembly man Siegel that , in comparing S NY .with.t.he accomplishments of swte unl\crs111es decades o lder. the amazing thing is that the d ispari ty is as small as it is. But we can. we must. do better. In achievin g this. objectiVe. howeve r. we must also heed I he philosophy of .. If it ain't broke, d o n't fix it" as we look to the posiaive cha nges ahat can and sho uld be made. Mechanisms th at a re effective should be retained and not be alte red just for the sake of change. Wh at is required, then , is change that will permit us 10 achieve SUNY's full potential, a potential that is now locked away, and that will remain locked away, unless and until we can institute a new generation of institutional responsiveness. This is a big order. a nd it is the thrust of the ce ntral , most crucial recommendation of th e Commission's report. a report which found SUNY to be th c''mos t overregu lated university in the nation." S incc a basic change is recommended in the long-establi hed procedures by which the State nh"Crsity is managed and regulated. I would like first to say what I belie\'e s uch change does 110 t mean. • It does 110t mean that we or the Commission believe any person , office or agency with regula tory a ut hori ty over SUNY has exercised th a t authority capriciously or unfairly. Officials at all levels in S tate government have pride in the State University and want to see it succeed. The problem is thai lhe procedures. accumulated over man y years. and for man y reason s not a lways remotely associated with educatio n. often make that success impossible to achieve. • Recommended changes do twr mean diminution in the authorit y of the Executive and Legislative Bra nches to establish SUNY 's budgel. as I will ex plain in a few mom ents. • • The changes do nOI mean any dilution of accountability on the part of SUNY 's managers, or of its exposure to post-audit or o th er reaso nable measures of determining th at th e syste m is meeting its responsibilities. • They do nur mean any modifica tions in the classification status of SUNY employees or in our collecti\'e bargaining relations hips. • The changes do not mean any lesse ning in setting cd.u cational goah. either by the Gm ern or or the Lcgi!,(ature. • Nor docs change me an any alteration in the authority of the State Briard of Regen ts with res pec t to ~c u ing the policies and !,tandard s of educatio n. • The proposed changes do not mean a radical experiment in dc-rcE-ulation. but allowing the university. as the Neu· York Timt•s headline said , to "get in· step wi th · other !)tate:," cw York will be catching up. I offer th ese reass urance~ because major change always stirs uneasiness and raises question s as 10 whether the public's legitimme interests are fully protected. Needles!) fears s hould be put to re::,t. Let me turn no w to what the changes h·ould do . I sec two essential element~ that are contained in the Commi s ::, io n ·~ chief recommendation to restructure SUNY and to eli minat e unncce~sary or unduly restr ictive regulat ion. The first is to remove SUNY from i's current statuli as a State agency and to restructure it as a public corporation. The second i the concept of what is popularly known as " lump·s um budgeting ... Each is subject to wide interpretation and se rious. misunderstanding. and I would lik~ to s pend a few minutes explaining how q,ur. Trustee::, and I and the SUNY presidents whom I ha\'C con~ulted \iew these t\\0 elemenb. P U BLIC CO RP O RATION The co ncept. of the public benefit corporation Or authori ty has a long and so metimes checkered hi slory in New York S1a1e, and I ha ve nei ther !he knowledge nor ahe desi re to d we ll on that hi story o r to try to find an ap prop ri a ae model for SUNY among those al ready in exis tence. I a m sure the re is no such model because the un ique role and structu re of a university req uires an ent irely different framework for governance, operations and acco unt a• bilily. Ind eed , it was the o riginal establi shmen! of SUNY in 1948 as a S tale agency and the initial failure to recogni ze the unus ual features of a universi ty th at have led, over the years, to the unintended but nevertheless over-restrictive environment in which SUNY exisas today. The objecaive of form ing a public cor· poration 1s clear: to vest the Unive rsi ty's Board of·Trustces with responsibi lity and authori ty more closely approaching th at of well-established public uni versi ties in ot her sta tes - universities that have far sur passed SUNY's ability to be at its most producti ve as a force for State educational. cultural. and economic development. funds would be a ppro priaae d and expended . As does public benefi t co rporat io n or auth ority, the term .. lump-s um budgeting" often carries a negative co nnotation, as iflo imply a lack of conlrol or respo nsi bili ly ove r lhe use of lax doll a rs. The inference is th at one is give n a sac k of money to spend , and when the sack is empay il is relurned lo be refi lled . This completely distorts the true picture, but beca use there is often misu nderstanding, we prefe r another term to lump·sum budgeling. We believe lhal a more accurate descript io n would be "consolidated bud geting" o r .. consolidated appropriations.•• What this means is that the developmem and amoum of SUNY's annual appropriations wou ld be determined in essentiall y the sa me manner. and und er t he same rigo ro us crite ri a. liS is presentl y ahe si au aaion. Through a deaailed budgea submi sian . SUN Y and its campuses would be required. as now. to make their best case to the Governo r and the Legi~la­ ture in each year's budget cycle. TQe major difference would arise in the method of appropriation and expendi· 1ure of lhcse funds by SUNY and ils State-operated campuses. That is whe re ahc concept of consolidated bud geaing comes int o play. I want to make very clea r that we fully endorse the need to account for such expenditures. Where the problem arises is that the leve l of control over t he execution of spending objectives is so pervasi ve and restrictive that the Trustees and administrators are unable to effectively serve as planners and man agers. Consolidated budgeting wou ld permit the Trustees to receive a single ope rat ions budget and to allocate and reallocate the funds , withtn the amoum appropriated, and within general guidelines. It would ly reduce the response time required in me · g emergencies or in making purchases a econom ica lly advanwgcous times. and t wo uld permit greater flexibilit y in ecting unanti ci pated edu cational. csearc h and public se rvice 1s requires a degree o · ,e_m;;e;;;n<:l--t~,.,.- · tunities . xibi lit y 1ha1 SUNY docs no l now pos· s ss. ~ uch as the ability to recruit and A question might be asked as to what r a in to p faculty and administrative would happen s hould economic dcteriolea crship by se tting compensation: to ration in the State requi re a mid-year allo te and expend resources for maxi, adjustment in spending. circumstance~ mum t: ciency: to expand management that ~vc occurred in the past.

OTHER ISSUES In my testimony, I have focused thus far on the issue of management nexibility and the need to move the State University dramaticall y forward in its ability LO serve the need s of ew York State. This emphasis is directly related to the priority attention given to the issue by th.e Independent Commission in its report. We in SUNY share that concern and the sense of urgency. · However, I would like to point out that the reR,ort, in total, presented some 29 recommendations on subjects such as finance, enrollments, academic quality and research. These will receive careful study, and I will not attempt to discuss them in detail here. But because what I have been discussing relates almost entirely to the Stateoperated campuses, I would like to comment on the recommendations concerning community colleges. These 30 institutions , with more than 177.000 students, are an integral and important part of the State University system, and they should continue to be so under any new structure. The Commission spoke hi~hly of the performance of the commumty colleges and urged even stronger ti es between them and the State-operated campuses, a finding with which we fully concur. Two recommendations suggested the possibility of encouraging regional community colleges and establishing Stateoperated community colleges in areas with extremely limited tax bases. After preliminary discussions with Trustees and community college presidents, we cOnclude that these are interesting · options that might later be considered as circumstances warrant. As you know, we are now working out an alternative governance arrangement for Corning Community College, which could serve as a model for the futu re. A third recommendation, calling for clarification of responsibilities among county governments, community college governing boards and the colleges' leadership received strong support and war:rant s vigorous attention. CONCLUSIO N In co nclusion, let me say again how pleased we are at the attention you are giving th e Commission report and its recommendations and how encouraging il is to hear so many voices urging that changes be made to strengthen the State University. We do not ask for special concessions or untried solutions. What we ask for, and will propbse in the legislation we are now drafting, is the same o pportunity to create for New York State the kind of strong, supportive, effective public university that has done so much for other states. New York has too much to offer to willingly or needlessly sacrifice the tremendous competitive edge inherent in SUNY's potential. As Trustees and managers of the system and of the campuses, we ask for your confidence in our abilities to carry out the broad mandate given us by the State's leadership, and we stand ready to be judged on our errors as well as our accomplishments. Some years ago, the motto of the State University of ew York was "'Let each become all he is capable of being." It sUbsequently was changed to the current motto "To Learn - To Search - To Serve,~· as being more d~scri~tive of the brpad mission of the Umvers1ty.

Thank you. 0 future Good Teaching People will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth or a wig _ ... but how many will own up to bad teaching? EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is tho second 1,.. a series of articl es on teaching effectiveness which will appear periodically In tho Reporter In coopenJIIon with tho Faculty Senate CommlnH on Teaching Ettecflveness, headed by Prof. Claude Welch. By C HARL ES H. V. EBERT procedural point of view. Yet. it must be recognized th at certain elements of good teaching arc more ethereal and cannot be "learned" although they may evolve gradually as do maturity and wisdom. It is quite easy to point out so me basic truths that arc a prerequisite to quality teaching, and one of them is thorough preparation. This seems to be t6o redundant to mention; yet, it is amazing how quite a few ind ivid uals. so satisfied with their previously demonstrated knowledge, fai l to hone their intellect ua l blade, fail to ptepa re thoroughly for each class. and strid e into battle with a dulled sword! It may be appropriate, at thi s ve ry point. to stress that research and good teaching go hand in hand and shou ld not be artili· cially separated as two unrelated entities in academia. rank Moore Colby once said, "' Men will confess to treason, murder, arson , false teeth, or a wig. How man)\Dfthem will own up to a lack of humor?" Then, how many teachers will own up to bad teaching? It is difficult to assess the quality of good teaching, although it may be easier to identify bad teaching. One reason why teliching evaluation is so elusive is that it falls into two different , though· related, horough preparation does not only · components: contents and process. extend to the contents of the lecture The first one , contents, can be judged but should include, although obviously to rather easily, but difficulties arise with varyi ngd e~ rees, the preparation of visual process.

Just as the fluidity of speec h acts as a stimulant to the listener so does the ph ysical behavior and enthusiasm of the lecturer carry over to the students. The un inspiring spectacle of a tired-looking instructor. slumping at the lecte rn. easily sho rtens the attention span of a class. A controlled amount of pacing, supporting hand and body language will not only keep the lecturer alive but will stimulate the listeners and maintain their alertness. Yet, gesticulations can easi ly be overdone. Human wind mills tend to look funny! In the same vein. humor can be a great asset to a lecture, but hum or shou ld never be structured, or planned , but should evolve spontaneo usly within the material presented . Students shou ld laugh with you - not at you! he last aspects of gqod teaching to be mentioned here are more difficull to learn, if they can be learned at all. These aspects involve the personality, auitudes, and the human traitS of the mstructor. How can yo u train an instructor to genuinely like students, to enjoy teac hing, to share feelings, and to be sensitive to the moods and sentiments of the hundreds of young persons who <lepend on the total quality of the teaching effort? Moreover, these st udents are of different cultural background, of different age, of unequal intellectual ability, and of differ· en t emo tional fabric. What eve r you say, or do, will tosomedegreeaffect them. for better or for worse. Henry Brooks Adams put it in these words, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where hi s influence stops." Teaching, in the view of this educator, incorporates a range of qualities that can and must be learned by all who aim at good teaching. Yet, there are other, more tenu ous elements which must evolve over time and und er the watchful eye of selfscrutiny and with personal integrity. Above all, a good teacher must be (ully aware of the stupend ous responsibility he or she accepts when entering a classroom. It is here where we can make a mark on the future development of our students who will. in turn. leave their mark on our future civilization and on the pathwals of following-generations. o T �February 21 , 1985 141 ~IT Volume 16, No. 19 UBriefs 7 wrestlers qualify for national championship UB's wreslling team finished second to Brockpon Statr in the State University of New York Athlrt ic Conference (SU YAC) Championships at Alumni Arena last ....ttkend. but the Bulls qualified more: wrestlers. st\'t'n. for the NCAA Division Ill Championship Tournttme nt than any other 1eam. led b)' 177-pound titlist Tom Jobin. and Ed Michael was named the conferc:ntt Coach of the Year.

That's a cri t ical variable fha t the healt h profes- sions reall y haven't ~ d ressed, " advises Dr. David Pende rg~t-~ssociate professo r of physiology at U B. " People '11/ho chro nically exercise add life to years a n.d not yea rs to life," says Pende rgast. "There ·s no doubt that people who are tra ined physicall y live a more productive and less stressful life even if they don•t live longer:· · Pendergast says that th e ··has-been exerciser" often believes wholeheartedly th at he 's done his part in exercise beca use of the time an d energy he once invested .

Pendergast added, research shows that collegiate athletes wh o stop part icipatin g in s po rts whe n they"re 20-years o ld look no different when they're 35 than the individual who never participated in anything. That ad vice ends up httting home. Pendergast says. and the middle.ager (w ho is usually abou t 30 to 40 po und s overweigh t) begins to work ou t o n a reg ular bas is.

And if he misses a runa: ning sessio n. he can't deal with the guilt ~ho w much and what kind of exercismg s ho uld a n adult over 25 do on a regular basis? Pendergast believes th ree to four worko uts per week laSLi ng from 45 minutes to an hour are more than sufficient. "Anythi ng above and beyond that is just not cost-effective, " he ca ut ions. The exercise researcher is convinced that a con ti nu o us, aerobic-like activity is much more beneficial for the individual than we ight training. S ·•for the average person over 25," Pendergast says, .. weight lifting is irrelevant. Weightlifting is a very superficial t hing because you build musculature that yo u need~n(t• fo r weightlifting," he advises. "Yo don't need it for a nything else and it's so ething yo u have to wo r k very hard to mai t.ain and carry aro und like excess baggage. "'I'm not convinced at all that weightlifting is anything more th an amusing and a form of vanity." says Pendergast. "To maintain large. bul ky mu scles. a perso n mu st invest a lot of time and energy. If he doesn·l th e muscles will atrophy (shrink in si1e).'' For the person who insists on u ing weight .t raining as a means of co nditioning, Pendergast reco mmend a light weight with which you can do 12 to 20 repetitions comfortably (for a particular exe rcise) at a quick pace - one repctitioll after the o t her (with no pausing). He explains th e rat ionale behind this kind of training: "As you get older, your speed of muscle co ntractions (known as a fast twitch) deteriorates noticeably. The fast repetiti o ns help prevent this kind of dete rioratin g process from occurring and help tone the mUscle at the same time." On a rel ated matter, Pendergast is opposed to the u•age of steroids - a chemical sometimes used by weightlifters, body builders, and the like 10 stimulate the growth of muscle mass. Research. he points oui, indicates that steroid usage can ultimately lead to severe damage to the kidneys and liver. ..The pany lin-e on steroids i~ that. taken in safe quantities, they hiPVc absolutely no impact in t,>Uilding tnu ~cle m~ss. L Th e reality is that . takcn in un safe quantities. th ey do. in Pdct . st imulate muscle gro,.,h_-· said Pendergast. But " people who use steroids are playing wi t h a time bomb because they a rc trading immediate gains for long-time. disa~trous consequences.·· endergast advocates aerobic-like activities such as brisk walking, hiking, bicycling, running. and swimming for the ave rage perso n ove r 25. " AerObic activities are the best overall forms of conditioning for strengthening yo ur bean and your cardiovascular sys_tem . Weight lifling, on the o ther hand. just shapes a nd gives you very li u le cardiovascu lar wo rk , .. he notes. As is true in any other kind of endeavo r, Pendergast advises, the exerciser must ··know what his o r her limitations are. Overdoing it, whether in running or weight training, can lead ultimately to high blood pressu re. Moderation is the key:· Pendergast wan ts todispelthe old-time myth that if a "lillie is good , ~ lot is better .. in reference to exercisi ng. ·•That just isn't true when it comes to exercising ... it takes eight yc!ars to build an ~thlete, " hf said .

D �February 21, 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 ot too long ago near the Amherst Campus, a trained eye could spot red-tailed hawks swooping down with laser-like precision from telephone.lines to nab unsuspectjng mice scampering hrough fields beneath · them. Now, ho.wever, a fast food resta)irant o'ccuptes that tract of land , and that once common 'Sight is just a memory, laments Paul T. Schnell, a 25year-old fal;:oner who has studied birds of prey for over a dec11de. N ""The biggest threat to wildlife today is not the hunter, trapper, or sportsman," he contends, "but the uncontrolled growth of human population and the consequential decrease in habitation land for wildlife. " Schnell organized the Birds of Prey Exhibit at the Aquarium of Niagara Falls, and, until recently, demonstrated the ancient art of falconry there with "Thor,"" a red-tailed hawk. He is an assistant ani mal techn ician ar UB where he also studies environmental biology. Though kestrels, the smallest falcons in the U.S., and red-tails are the most prevalent of more than 50 native species of raptors (birds of prey), Schnell is concerned that if their habitation lands continue to be converted into parking lots and shopping malls, they may go the way of the black duck. a one-time common species of waterfowl whose salt marsh ho"!.e gn the New Jersey coastline was de_s.(f"OS1ed so condominiums could be developed. Evicted from their ~inter headquarters, the black ducks went back to their summer breeding grounds only to find themselve_s no match foF the more adaptable and aggressive mallards who bred with them, producing a sterile hybrid. Because of his concern for falcons, Schnell now maintains almost two dozen kestrel nesting boXes across a three township area in Niagara County. The boxes, funded by the Niagara County Federation of Conservation Clubs, serve as substitutes for older trees, now cut down. whose cavities previously housed the birds. "There is a great shortage of these microhabitats," Schnell observes, especially since older trees are the ones often felled for firewood. Luckily, he adds, the kestrels are adaptive to their surrogate homes, so "people can do something to help them." Other Jess adaptable birds, such as man.ins or bluebirds, face greater peril when their cavity-type homes are destroyed. are actually on the shy side when it comes to humans. They prefer to leave people alone. Perhaps, he submits, man projects his own predacious nature onto these other crtatures. Raptors and reptiles, chnell points out, provide a valuable service by keeping ·rodent populations down. The average red-tail eats three mice a day, he advises, and alsb an occasionaJ rabbit or pheasant. Kestrels eat large insects through the summer and fall and dine on sparrows during winter. Interestingly, there are ··rules of conduct " among birds of prey, Schnell reports. A pair of kestrels and a pair of red-tails, for instance, will occupy one> half mile square and one mile square, respectively, and will "defend their territory .. when intruders are detected . Even though kestrels are puny compared to the red-tails, they will "div~ · bomb" a red-tail should it encroach on their territory. The red-tail generally retreats when this happens since a 'Chase would be comparable to "a B-52 trying to chase down a fighter jet," Schnell relates. One way to appreciate these and other misunderstood creatures is to study them, Schnell insists. That is how he rid himself of a childhood fear of snakes. His incipient ophiopho bia was nothing that a few trips to the library bolstered by ... hands-on" experience couldn't cure, he reports. PartialJy for such educarional reasons, Schnell takes his boa constrictor and Mingo, his own hawk, on the road cind will do a "show and tell" of sorts for area 4-H clubs, Scout troops, and high school and college audi~ces. His repertoire of presentatigns includes such topics. as wildlife and conservation, hunting safety, trapping, forestry, and area flora and fauna, often highlighted by slide shows from his library of nearly 3,000 slides. An amateur photographer with a flair for capturing the understated beauty of wildlife, Schnell has had his photography published in Ducks Unlimired and local newspapers. He alSo writes a monthly conservation column for the Tonawanda News and, at age 16, published bis first article on New York's colorful wood duck in Conservation Mag~zine. Subsequently, he had articles published in the journal of the New York State Falconer's Association and The Prothonotary, a publication of the Buffalo Ornithological Society. his spring, Schnell will conclude a five-year study he started at SUNY's T Agricultural and Technical College at Morrisville, his alma mater. The study, also funded by the Federation of Conservation Clubs and administered by Cornell University, involves banding ringnecked pheasants given to 4-H members by state gaffie farms to determine mortal· ity rates for pheasants eight, ten, 12 and 14-weeks old and to shed more light on their nesting patterns. After the study is complete, Schnell will give the results to Niagara county and Cornell officials so mine if their pheasant is effective or if the by predators before by sportsmen. For little to do or trapping is necessary to man can continue to ..sustain a harvestable resource ... regardless of what the resource may be. He fears that too many peole are insensitive to the issue and may deplete the earth of its natural treasures without considering the consequences. "Natural resources are here for everyone to enjoy and use," he says, "but we have to be very careful about exploiting them to the loss or extinction of any particular one, be it mineral , wildlife, or Our air and water." 0 eptiles need auention, too, submits Schnell, who ·raised a pair of BurR mese pythons from 21 inches to II feetlong, chartmg their growth relative to th~ amount of food they consumed. Tlie snakes, unwitting participants in ·1 growth study, were double their normal size after the first year because of the feeding techniques he employed. Schnell thinks a bum rap has been laid on both raptors and reptiles. People usually perceive both to be dangerous and aggressive, he says, when, in truth, they By JOYCE BUCHNOWS KI �PUBLIC RA DIO FROM THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO Allen Hall State Un iversity of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 142 14 (716) 831-2555 Non·Profit Org.

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

The· ~'firvey failed , however, to detect the great ti~~f.co nservatism which political pollsters re~rtedly found among college-age voters in last fall's Pre!\\,gential election. To the contrary, more students identified themselves as "far left" or "liberal" than said they were "conservative" or "far right." And higher petthan ever styled themselves as "middle of the road" an assessment borne Out by where the entering dents came down on the survey's so-called litmus-test issues (marijuana, abortion, etc.). On some the trend was to the right; on others, to the left. Among 182,370 freshmen at 345 colleges and universities who participated in the survey, 67.8 per cent (the most ever in the 19-year history of the sampling) said that "to be able to make more money" is a "very important" reason for attending college; 71 per cent said they "hope to be well off financially" whtle only 45 per cent attached importance to developing a philosophy of life. In 1970, at the height of "The Age of Aquarius," nearly 85 per cent of freshmen were in college to find meaning in life; a scant 40 per cent cared about being "well-off financially" in those days. Relative to 17 other percially"has sonal values, being "well-off finan- risen from ninth to second place among freshmen since 1970. "Becoming an authority in my field ," remains the No. I personal value. But then "authorities" are well known to be paid handsomely fo r their expertise. · A t UB (where freshmen tend to be more ethnically d iverse, from less well-off families, and more technically-oriented than those at comparable selective public universities), students have been reflecting higher levels of materialism than the norm for the past several years. But in 1984 the gap was closing. Among freshmen entering UB in the fa ll of 1984, 72 per cent identified being able "to make more money" as an important reason for college attendance; 79 per cent want to be " well-off financially ," and 46 per cent are concerned about developing a philosophy of life. Students at UB continue to be more liberal-to-left (26.6 per cent) than conservative-to-right ( 17.6 per cent) and so mewhat more liberal than in the nation as a whole where 22.1 percent of freshmen place themselves on the liberal-left edge of the political spectru m. A total of 2,642 incom ing U B freshmen participated in the UCLA-ACE survey which was administered during Summer Orient ation here by the Office of Insti tution al Studies (OIS). OIS director Jeffrey Dutto n, in announcing results of the survey this . week , provided co mpariso ns between UB freshmen and fres hm en both at Stony BrookBinghamton and at a wider peer group of highly-selective public institutions - in ..---::;;; �.· February 14, 1985 Volume 16, No. 18 Sample considering appointing athletic board By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS aying that he has been urged b~ many people, including faculty and alumni, to develop a plan to upgrade intercollegiate athletics at U B. President Steven B. Sample announced at last week's University Council meeting that he is ..giving serious thought". to appoin ting an athletics boa rd , wi thou t waiting for expected guidelines from the SUNY · Board of · Trustees. The formation of individual ca mpus athletics boards was proposed by 1he T rustees last October when the board made a controversial decision not to al low campuses to award scholarships to athletes and impose mandatory athletics .. fees on sfudents. At that time, Sample 'Said, the board anno~mced it would issue guidelines on the formation of campus ath e..tics boards .. wi thi n a few weeks ... No~g thauhe guidelines have yet to be rele ed, Sample a nnounced last Thursda that he plans to appoint a -' board that would provide three types of guidance: • The development of a five· or sixyea r p lan t hat wo uld suggest at what level (DtVISto n 1, II , or Ill) teams should play; what sports sh·ould be emphasized, and long-range funding proposals. • Pol k-y recommendations. He cited a need for revision and updating of University policies regarding intercollegiate athletics in the wake of the declaration S earlier this month that two basketball playe~ were ineligible to play, causing the forfeiture of games. This incident was "not the students'fault," Provost Wi lliam Greiner had told the Council earlier, but an "administrative error .. caused in large part because University rules foreligibil- · uy of athletes were created in the mid1970's and now must be administered by a proportionately smaller staff. Greiner said there is a need to simplify some of th e rules and procedures d ea lin g with transfer studen ts. • Guidance and recommendations in the formulation of each yea r's athletic budget. " I will try to structure the board based on what I think will be the directives of SUNY Central and in consonance with NCAA regulations and what 1 think should be the co nstituent groups," Sample said. The primary groups to be represented sho uld be faculty and students, he added, with the administration a smaller number, and alumni the smallest. Faculty and administratiou will constitute a majority of the boara . After asking for recommendations for members, Sample himself will make appointments to the board , which will report directly to him. "There should be a clear line of authority to the president in the area of intercollegiate athletics," Sample said, noting that the board will no1 involve itself with intramural or recreational sports. n other business, the Council passed a supporting the conclusions Iandresolution recommendations of the Independ ent Commission on t he Future of the State University, which called for more autonomy from state government for SUNY campuses. Sample and Af!irmative Action Director Malcolm Agostini reported on af!irmative action initiatives in recruiting fo r new vacancies. Sample said he is urging deans and department chairs to .. take advantage or· opport uniti es to recruit women and minorities and an nounced that additional funds will be provided to department s attempting to recruit members of protected groups. ··we wantto make competitive offers," he commented. A se ries of semi nars to explain how to .. aggressively recruit'' women and minorit ies, especially in areas in which they are not traditionally represented, will be given, he added. Agostini explained that he will work directly with the Provost"s of!ice on a -part-time basis for six mon ths to aid in developing affirmative action strategies. He is also work in~ with SUNY Central staff in a system-wtde recruitment effort. Sample presen ted a brief budget report to the Council, calling the Governor's proposed budget a "good news / bad news·· budget. The good news consists of 27 additional maintenance perso nnel to cover new buildings, a commitment to the North campus buildout, so me new engineering positions, an increase in operating funds, and no tuition or dormitory fee increases. The bad side is reflected in the fact that UB did not get as many new engineering positions as hoped for, or any new clinical faculty lines. A new budget policy has bee n added , in which money for new engineering equipment has been cut to $300,000, with any additional Slate funding to come in the form of matching funds to those raised by individual campuses from private sources. The repayments from the Research Foundation to the state for use of state facilities has also been increased dramatically. The worse piece of bad news, however, is a one per cent cut in every campus' budget for part-time and over-time employees. This cut could be very damaging to faculty in Millard Fillmore College, library staff, and snow removal staff. "We will work hard to get that reduction restored," Sample said. He also reviewed the delay in beginning the semester due to the Blizzard of 1985. " We could have opened on Wednesday of that week ," he explained, " but Mayor Grif!in asked me personally not to open the University as long as the travel ban was on. We try to cooperate with local authorities in situation like that. ·· 0 Reagan's science advisor speaks at research session r . George A . Keyworth , science advisor to Presiden t Reagan and director of the Of!ice of Science and Technology. and William Donohue, president of the newly-formed Western New York Economic Development Corporat ion, were the main speakers at an Industry/ University Cooperative Research Conference held recently at UB·s Center for Tomorrow. Sponsored by the Calspan-UB Research Center (CUBRC), the one-<lay session also included panels and workshops attended by local economic development, research and develo pment and industry leaders, and UB research faculty. Following President Steven Sample's opening comments affirnling UB's commitment to the local economy, Ke yworth delivered an address on the role of science and technology in maintaining the competitivene!'S of American industry. "We have only recently emerged from a period of painful but healthy introspection, during which we realized how directly our economy is linked to the health of technology-intensive industries, and how dangerous it was to take our industrial strengths for gra nted ." said D Keyworth. ··compared to many of our foreign competitors," he advised. "American industries operate at a competitive disadva ntage in many ways." These disadvantages include higher labor costs reflecting a higher standard of living, a strong dollar showing little si~n of weakening, and · higher costs of capatal to finance industrial expansion. On the positive side, stressed Keyworth, are technology and "highly skilled technical talent, factors that should give the U.S. the competitive edge if the research and development being paid for by the govern ment - roughly $55 billion per y"ear - is redirected to serve industry needs. According to Keyworth , the presen t administ ration has established five domestic policies that reflect this shift in focus . .. First, government must su pport the generation of knowledge:· sa td Keyworth. As examples he cited attempts to bridge the gaps between the biological sdences and the agricultural research community and between universities overall and the Department of Defense. Resarding the latter Keyworth said, "We beheve that both the universit ies and national security will be served by restorat ion of the bonds" that existed in the 1950s and 1960s, when "Defense was supporting much of the best university basic researc h and was responsible for the strength of so me of our major research universities. " Large increases in fu nd s for basic researc h and innovative schemes like the Presidential Young Investigator program are aspects of the government's commitment to its seco nd policy - helping create an environment for attracting and retaining high quality faculty , said Keywo rth. ther policies, according to Keyworth , include funding basic research that addresses the most urgent needs of industry; !inding better ways to stimulate the flow of ideas, expertise and people bet ween government research laboratories, universities and industry, and being more respon sive to emerging technological opportunities. "The same government programs that made possible the birth of today·s biotechnology industry, "argued Keyworth, "are eitherfailing to recognize its broad potential or choosing to ignore what they should be doing to help its develo pment. ... We're not yet 0 doing a good enou~hjob of making sure we have a strong scaence and engineering base to su pport this emerging industry." Keyworth summa.ized his remarks by saying that industry should identify pressing problems, the academic community should marshall its considerable resources to tackle those problems, and government should act as a passive facilitator of the entire process. During his luncheon address, Donohue, recently appointed to his position by Governor Cuomo, said that Western New York needs momentum to carry through with its plans for economic recovery. To gather momentum, he noted, the region needs a system for fostering new business; ways to att ract basic research funds to centers like CUBRC: mythologies and images that promote Buffalo as a high-tech area, and ··r.rstclass" features such as a Divisio n I football team that will add "color and emotion f.o the community.. and create financial support for the university. Bot h Keyworth and Donohue received commemorative plaques from Sample and Dr. Charles E. Treanor, director of CUBRC and chief scientist with Calspan, where the CUBRC facility is currently housed . 0 Senate urges Legislature to make SUNY a public benefit corporation ·he Faculty Senate Tuesday passed a resolution urging th State Legislature to mak e SUNY a public bene!it corpora-· tion as soon as possible. No one was opposed. . Givi ng SU Y that staTus was a recommendation of the recent Chancellor's commission report. Faculty Senate Chairman Dennis Malone and Chairman-<Oiect Claude Welch discussed the issue with other SUNY local governance leaders last week. " " My impression is that there seems to be an actual opportunity to impact on the structure right now," Malone said . He em phasized that il would be done only if state lawmakers are convinced of lhe importance. Malone urged faculty senators to discuss the iss ue with their constituents. He said he will write a letter to all of the voting faculty urging them to T - - - o- -· - - - - write to their state senators and representatives. Malone said he has the names and addresses of all of the Jegis l ato~ in the state. "It would be done only if state lawmakers are convinced of the importance" A publi~ hearing on the issue will be held at I I a.m. Friday, March 1, in Grover Cleveland Hall; Buffalo Stare College. Those wishing to speak at the hearing can get the necessary forms fro!Jl' Malone. UB Presiden t Steven Sample. when questioned on Governor Mario Cuol!J.o's slow action on the issue. said that he is actually gratified that the governor is not hostile to the proposi ti on of making SUNY a public bene!it corpo rati on. "Given the long tradition of the $late the heavy, heavy central control and layers of pre-approval - I wou ld not have expected the governor to co me ou t qutckly for it. no matter who was gOver'nor," he said . hat will the University be like if it "' become~ a public benefit corpo ration? One se nat or wanted to know. In his opinion. Sample said. SIJNY should try to be an amalgam of the ~ Y' ­ tems around it. without :1ping 1hem. ..

The University would ben plncc whcr·c decisions, cspcciu ll y -on hnw mnncy is W spent, is decided more at the campus and departmental levels, he said. But he couldn't be more speci!ic. " Maybe the answer is unclear because there has never been a board that's been responsi ble for the development of the Umversity." Sample said. No one - not the trustees, Division of Budget, governor, or legislature - has that responsibil· ity now. he said . Malone noted that there are about 100 public benefit corporations in the state, each structured in ''different flavors ... The struct ure of each is de!ined by the specific law that sets up each one. A broad dc!in ition calls them corporate entities created by special act of t he State Legislature for the purpose of performing :1 particular function in the public intere>t.

The first course will be offered this fall. Students interested in applying should see their DUE advisors well before the • deadline, said Dr. Robert Cerveny, asso'\iate professor of management informal! n systems and cha\rman of the lnstitut on Com puter and Computing Appli!ions._ The i titute is the group charged with developin the University-wide minor. At least initially, a formal a pplication procedure will be required to get into the computing minor, Cerveny said. The institute is looking for student s who will have eno ugh time to complete the minor and who probably won't drop out. Second-semester freshmen are targeted .

Cerveny said the institute is concentrating on de ve loping th e first-year courses now. If the dem and is there, the program will be expanded. he number of stud en ts allowed to take the minor is limited by the amount of equipment available. More equipment will be added for the new minor. said Dr. Hinrich Martens, direc- T tor of Compu ting Services, but if more than 200 students want to sign up, some will have to wait unt il spring. Computing Servjces is planning two more teaching labs for the fall , he said. UB already has three. Each lab will have 24 microcomputers, which will be IBM PC's. Martens said he is not sure where the labs will be located. Some teaching will probably be d one from terminals connected to the VAX or IBM computers, he said . A new VAX , which is a medium-size co mputer. is being purchased. By 1986, the University should also have a new main-frame computer to re place its current CYBER, Martens said. Cerveny said the new computing minor has received acceptance and backing from the various segments of UB. "The University is really willing to do this properly," he said. "It's giving all the support we could possibly need ." The institute will have to meet the constant changes of the computing field , whether it 's new hardware or the fact that more and more students receive training in grade schools and high sc hools. "It's an evolu tionary concept. " Cerveny noted. "Even if we get the program perfec~ for o ne point in time, it's constantly evolving." The prog ram ma y even attract tudents to UB, he said . " It will enhance the quality of educa. ti on and the reputation of th e Univer0 sit y,'' he ventured . seeks suspects in sexual abuse incidents niversity Public Safety investigators are searching for suspects in two unrelated sexual . abuse incidents that occurred on two UB campuses during the past week . The most recent incident occ urred Friday, Feb. 9. on the Mai n Street Campus when a man grabbed a 2 1-year-o ld female stud ent at about 4:30 p.m. on th e th ird n oor of Diefendorf Hall.

Administrative support comes through Marilou Healey, assistant vice provost. Office space will probably be located in the Music Department. The faculty involved are all on loan from their departments, Cerveny said. A number of faculty members have voiced interest in volunteering for the program, he said. They come fro m the diverse areas of music, psychology, biology, geography, computing. lea rning and instruction, counseling a d educational psychology, philosophy, art , sociology, and anthropology. Four secti o ns of the first course will be offered in the fall. They will be taught by instructors from art, geography, biology, and mathematics. The instructors will receive trai ning this su mmer so th ere is consistency in the material cove red, Cerveny said. About 50 ,stud ents will be allowed in each section, Cerveny said.

On view at Bet hun e Gallery, 2917 Mai n St. near Hertel, the Cxhibit is a collection of never-beforeseen studio photographs titled "Still-Life: Hollywood Tableaux Photographs." The star~studded collection has a speciaJ appeal, however - the photographs were compiled by a film star in th e true Ameri· can traditi on , actress Diane Keaton, along with photo critic and curator Marvin Heiferman. In additi on to representing a look at the off-stage in terests of one of Hollywood's current greats, the exhibit also offers a fascinating look at the aesthetic roots of contemporary pho· tography and gives a glimpse into a slice of Atfierican culture. . In the heyday of the movie industry, before TV and videota pes, movies were thought to have only one life. "Our pro· duct spoils like fresh fruit; you get no second chance,·· said one publicist. Elaborate publicity campaigns were undertaken, therefore, with each film being heralded by advertising, promotional novelt ies, gossip a nd always, lots and lots of pictures. Stars had special sessions with a studio-appointed portraitist, trained to capture and market a world of dreams and glamour. Huge quantities of transparencies were shipped around the world and movie stills fi lled the pages of fan maga· zines, newspapers• rotogravure sections,, and such publications as Ufe. Esquire and Vogue. In these publicity deluges, the still pho· togra pher played perhaps the most important part. Assigned to a particular production for the course of the filming, the still photographer was a hard· work ing and unappreciated soul. h was his responsibillty to rush in at the end of a •'take" to capture the act ion of the scene before the actors had time to relax_ Said one observer: "The place of the still photographer has been and still is that of a poor relation. No one wants him, includmg the directo~. electricians, players, makeup people and set dressers, whose relaxed moments between the nervous strain of 'ta.kes' must be interrupted to minister to his wants. He is easy to pick out on any set: He is the tim id soul on the extreme edge of the crowd who rushes busily after a shot is completed, only to meet the withering glances of the director and retire again in co nfusion to his hiding." With increased frequency after World A nother task force on WBFO is not need ed ; the reports of two previous task forces provide enough information to give the radio station direction, President Steven Sample told a recent meeting of the Faculty Senate Executive Co mmittee. The next ste p is to appoint an advisory board for the station, he indicated. " We ought to get an adviso ry board in place that's reflective of the academic commun ity, ... he said. The two task forces were formed after public cont roversy arose about ope rations of the FM station. An external evalua tion team with members from outside UB was es tablis hed by Harry J ackson. He is director of public affairs, the department in which the station is located . A se parate ad hoc committee on WBFO was set up by the Fac ult y Senate . The committee's chairman, Michael Frisch of History, noted th at the two task forces ca me to similar conclusions, wh ich surprised so me people. Both task forces had recommended that still another task force be appointed. But Sample com pared.lhat recommendation to the farmer who kept pulling his corn up to check the roots. then wonde red why it didn't grow. There is enough informat ion in the two existing reports to indicate the general direction the stat ion should t ake, Sample said . Wa r II , color transparencies. in ad d ition to black and wh ite photographs, were shot during filming. The stars' mythical glamour was marketed; not only through movie stills, but also through photos of "stars being just plain folks " in a n effo rt to heighten their appeal by narrowing the di st inction between the public and private lives of screen idols. thousands of these pro motional shots were taken for each film, A hhough only a few of them were ever seen by the public. The rest, rejected by the studio or stars granted picture a pproval in their contracts, were destroyed or stored away to be fo rgotte n. Heiferman and Keaton have resurrected so me of these pictures from the storage rooms of Hollywood studios, picture magazines and private collections and compiled a book titled Still Ufe(N.Y. Callaway Editions, 1983). The Hollywood Still-Life exhibit has been organized in conjunction ·with the publication of this book and has been show n in nationall y prominent museums and galleries, including the Instit ute of Co ntemporary Art in Philadelphia and the Whitney Museum in ew York Ci ty. Andy Grundbe rg, photography critic for the New York Times. observes that "Stiii-Life""manifests all the earmarks of con tem porary art photography. Besides their gestural stilted ness and obvious fabricatio n, but unlike most of today's photography, the pictures are often unintentiona lly hil ari ous." And hilarious they often are with fami lia r stars like Paul Newman, Jane Russell, and Ronald Reagan in often bizarrely posed and very contrived enviro nments. These stills re mind one strangely of a taxidermist's diorama in a natural history museu m. There is somet hing unnatural abo ut the scenes. The artificiality that goes unnoticed in movies is brought out all too clearly in the stills. Heife rm an, however, points to the appeal of these obviously dated pictures. Discussing the task of sort ing thro ugh tho usands and thousands of slides, he says: "Sifting through these pictorial remnants is like trying to reconstrl}Ct a culture from the shards of its artifacts and the associations th ey provoke. The overview from this waste heap of visuals is a lopsided history of American life, defined by images of trysts, ceremonies, fears , fights , love, kisses and death. It 's like a checklist of life's exaggerated mile· stones."' In conjunction with the exhibition, Heiferm an will give a gallery talk <ln Tuesd ay, February 19, at 3 p.m. in Bet hune Galle ry.

Yetttts also supposed to be a full, professional public rado o station. Balancing academia and listenership seems to be the problem. If the station ts just an academic window on th e Unive rsi ty, nobody listens, Sample said . But if it concentrates on listenership only, it no longer carries out its missio n to the University and loses its identity. When the task forces were set up , the fi rst question that had to be answered was whether the re sho uld be a radio stat ion at all Sample said. aAs I've said before. we're not in the dormitory, library or radio business: we're in the business of teaching," the president stated. ·'Are we getting the maxtmum bang per buck?"

LAPIANA hile the School of Management was packing up and making the three-mile journey north to Amherst, another, younger group of students was settling in on a n increasingly quiet Main Street Campus. And although parking remains at a premi um on the olde r campus, these new residents are worrying more about where to put their Big Wheels than where to park their Buicks. After years of planning a nd preparation , the UB Child Care Ce nter has opened its playpens, toyboxes, and classrooms to the offspring of University community members. Despite a bliuarddelayed start, the Center is, accordi ng to Dennis Black, assistant dean of Student • Affairs, "off to a successful start." arents have been th rilled wit h the er so far," ad ded Peg Griffith. Cenector. "The word-of-mouth from th"me involved in the program paren has be xtremely positive ... The path of the Cen ter from conceptions to fruition has not been smooth. For almost a decade, administrators fough t wit h stud ent leaders over the idea, while student leaders fought with other st uden t leaders over funding, th e scope of potential services, and ultimate control. Finally, a coordi nated effort, initiated a nd spearheaded by J im Long, a UB student, and eventually taken over by Black a nd Acting Personnel Director Clifford Wilson sec ured the necessary funding W ~. :E Parents ha .. been thrilled with the Cftnter so tar: servlcer olfered match those at more expensive and eliminated administrative obstacles. The Child Care Cente r is, Black noted, a project sponso red and maintained by faculty, st ud ents, and staff members, all of whtch are represented on its board of directors. Like the Faculty Student Association (FSA), the quasi-governmental litc/1/tles. organization which oversees Food Service and other related Unive rsi ty .functions, the Center is a not-for-profit "business" designed for use by all segments of the UB community. Original funding was s upplied , Black exp lained, through grants from SUNY and various campus bargaining units as well as through individual donations. The Center is located in Annex A, one of the original temporary "t in houses'" set-up on the Main Street Campus in the 1960s to house a quickly expanding University population. " We have spen t over $100,000 to renova te the inside of the building," Black said. Currently, the Center is handling about 65 pre-kindergarten children, but, Black notes, the rolls are expected to increase to 90 by fall. "Right now we have openiogs in the three- to four-yea r-old class,·· he said, adding that next semester the Center plans to expand its day-time, pre-school offe rings while adding a ge neral evening program for children under 12 ... We've even been looking into more expensive because infant care cos ts so much more," Black Said. ··At present, weekly rat es ho ve r around $40, comparable to rates at other ·quality' centers available off-campus." Even at th e "discount rates" offered by the Center, Black ackn owledged that some students may still believe the Center is too expensive. Currently, he said, directors are .. lobbying" various student governments to get them to consider subsidizing studen t child ·care fees through financial aid and scholarships. summer school day care,·· ex plained Black , who serves on the Cen ter's board . " It would be a camp-type operation." To ensure efficiency and stabi lity, the directors have shunned subsidies from the State, the University, and the various student governments. Instead , the Center is expetted to generate its own selfsupporting income through a fee to be-assessed on the basis"of parental income and a child's age. "Younger childre n are oth Black and Griffith stress, howB ever, that services offered at the UB Center match those at more well known and• expensive area child care centers: "Right now we have an excellen t staff of five full-time professionals, none of whom has anything less than a master's degree, and eight part-time assistants." "The staff is outstanding," Griffith ec hoed. "All of them have come from various ce nters, where some were even the directors. " We ex poet to be of higher quality due to our location on the Universi ty's campus," Griffith went on . "In addi tion to cari ng for children of University members, we hope to become a training center for area child care professionals and a resource for academic departments." We "differ from many care facilities primarily because we a re basically a convenience, "she said·. "We have to allow for a va riety of unexpected circumstances." For example, Griffith noted. rather th an instituting rigid scheduling for child enrollment, the Center's staff uses "'variable scheduling," allowing ·faculty and students with work or school commi tments at awkwa rd hours still to take advantage of the Genter's services. Even thouj:h most of the campus' populat ion stud1es and works at Aml)erst, Black said that the Main Street location was a conscious choice, not one fort;ted upon the directors by Amherst space considerations. "We choose Main Street to get a building of our own, since sharing a facility with another depart ment would make a poor teaching/ learning environment," Black said . "The location has qualities that Amhe rst could not offer such as ample window space, easy·access, parking, and nearby heahh services." Renecting the community it services, the Center's population is diverse, with a number of toddlers from a variety of nation s. whose parents either work or study at U Band whose home language is · not English. "Our programs have to be changed to accommodate the number of children wh o do not speak English ." Griffith said. "For them the adjustmen t (to child care) is a little more difficult." To assist the international toddlers. Griffith said language development exercises are geared to various levels of English mastery. "The children's attitudes towa rd one another are marvelous," she said . "They are experiencing people of all national backgrounds." ews of the Center's early success has travelled quickly, jllack said. Already queries have come from the nearby VA Hospital and the University Heights Community Cen ter concerning opening enrollment to those with out an official University co nnection. "This Ce nter was established for the UB co mmun ity," Black emphasized. "We would not co nsider opening it up to outsiders until the need for it on campus is first sati sfied."

Astin, director of the national survey, ""is consistent with changes in students' career plans. The percentage of freshmen aspiring to careers in busi ness reached a recor:d high in the current survey: 22.2 per cent compared to 20.4 per cent last year and only 11.6 percent in the 1966 survey." At UB, just 14 perl:enl of freshmen are attracted to busi ness, but 28.4 per cent list engineering - another lucrative field - as their proba ble professiona l choice. Nationally, only 10 per cent of freshmen project careers in engineering; at Stony Brook-Binghamton, II per cent of frosh want to be engineers while at our peer public institutions, the figure is 14.8 per cent. This is not to say that high-pay, non-arts fields don't predominate also at our sister SUNY centers. Just the focus is di(ferent; at those units, 16.9 per cent of freshmen intend to be physilii~s! In terms of intended majors (as differentiated from career interests), 29 per cent of UB freshmen respondents elected engineering; 16.3 per cent, Health Sciences; 14.4 per ce nt, Manage men t; and 13.3 per cent, Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Social Sciences majors were selectod by 9.5 per cent of the 1984 UB frosh; Architecture, by 4.8 per·cent; and Arts and Letters fields by 4.1 per cent. Ariother 8.5 per cent were undecided about a concentration. Forty-two per cent of all freshmen men have engineering as i n intended major; and, at the other extreme, only 2.8 per cent of men want an Arts and Letters field. Management claims the largest number of freshmen women ( 16.35 per cent) and Architecture, the fewest (2.8 per cent). Almost 10 percent of women listed engineering as their intended major. UCLA ·s Astin said the increasing materialism of students proves th ey're ··no different from the rest of the public.·· Polls fQIIowing last fall's Presidential election revealed that voters had chosen Candidates on .. pocketbook issues," he said. Yet. he sees the trend as posing a challenge for liberal arts faculties: .. Are we going to recognize this and do so mething about it, or just pander to the students' career interests?" More than one campus across America is wrestling with this concern. At U B, recruitment efforts for the 1984 class put T major emphasis on clrts . and sciences fields, but the percentage of freshmen electing arts and sciences majors actually declined - from 31.8 per ce nt in 1983to 26.9 per cent in 1984. At the same time, though , 72.5 per cent of the incoming freshmen judged that UB is equally stiong, if not stronger, in liberal arts and sciences t han in the professionalvocational fields which they c hose. Apparently, one admi nistrator said, The trends pose a challenge for liberal arts faculties: "Are we going to recognize this and do something about it, or are we just going to pander to students' career interests?" "We got our message across, but the students aren' interested."The pool of New York State high school graduates interested in arts and sciences careers is rapidly diminishing. he 1984 UBclassconti nued to be well above national norms in terms of high school grades, but didn 't maintai n anywhere near the grade averages reported by Stony Brook-Binghamton freshmen. Only about 33 per cent of the UB group identified themselves as A st udents, compa red to 52.5 per cent of the freshmen en tering the ot her two SUNY centers and about 40 per cent of those entering selective public universities as a whole. S imilarly, only 56.2 percent ofUB freshmen were in the top 20 per cent of t heir graduating classes while approximately 75 per cent of those at Stony Brook-Binghamton were in that select ci rcle (and 66.8 per cent of freshmen at the peer group set of institutions). Admittedly, the 1984 UBclass is not as good academically as its recent predecessors, according to Lawrence Kojaku, assistant vice president for university serivces, but the class was also somewhat larger than recent entering groups for a variety of reasons (including enrollment shortfalls in several other areas of the University). Kojaku expects much highe r academic quality for 1985 entrants, he said, based on the credentials of fresh men being se nt admission offers this week. 1984 is definitely just a "blip, " Kojaku said. The quality level for next fall 's entrants should be more like that achieved in 1982 and 1983, he noted. National results for 1984 show a general decline in high school averages reported by freshmen - !. dip which experts feel won 't be stabilized . UCLA 's Astin assesses that ..grade inflation that occurred in the public schools during most of the 1970s has ended and may even be start ing to reverse itself. " The perce ntage of freshmen reporting A averages from high school dropped slightly, for the fourth year, while the percentage reporting C averages rose to 21.8 per cent from 17.6percentin 1978. At UB,just4.2 per cent of freshmen reported averages below B(only .5 percent at Stony BrookBinghamton did so). T T oday's students are highly selective in thear a ttatudes on social issues the suryey found. While being more co~ser­ vatlve on matters of taxes, crime and drug use, they are more liberal than ever ~n matt~rs of equality for women, school mtegrallon, and stud ents' right s. UB freshmen generally reOect the same trends. Nearly two-thirds of th is years college ~reshmen ?eliev~ "the federal government IS not domg enough to promote di sarmament.~· As a corol~a'1'•. the percentage who beheve that m1htary spend ing should be increased" dropped to its lowest point since that question has been asked. At UB, 71 percent of thcfri"hmen beheve more should be don e about disarmament and only 27 per cent feel military spending should be increased. These trends appear to suggest that most students reject the Reagan th eon that progress in disarmam ent can be ~ch ieved through a stronger defense. Other survey resu lts show a strong mix1ure of attitud es. On the libera l side. support for busing as a means of aGhiev_.. ing racial balance in the schools reached an . all-time high of 53.6 per cent nalt onally (50.4 per cent here). Similarl1. student supp ort for a national health cail· plan "to cover everybody's medical cm b ·· also reached a zenith of 61.4 per ce nt (61.1 per cen t here). At th e sam e time support for the notion that "the activitic., of married women are best &o nfined to the home and family"reached an all-ti m< low of '{nly 22.4 per ce nt (22 per ce nt here).

Support for abolishing the death penalty dropped to 26.0 per cent nationally (27.2 per cent here), down from a high of57.8 per cent in 1971. The majority of freshmen still support higher taxes for the wealthy (69. 7 per cent nationally and 74.9 per cent here) and champion energy conservation and control of environmental pollution. However, support for such governmental activities is at or near its lowest point in the 19-year history of the survey. [See chan on this page for more data on political auitudes.] The fall 1984 survey also revealed a mixed picture with respCct to computers. While the data show continuing dramatic increases in percentages of freshmen who can program computers (50 per cent nationally and 67 per cent among UB freshmen), student interest in computer careers declined. Only 5.2 per cent of UB frosh, for example. want to pursue computer technologyt "Apparently," concludes the UCLA report on the findings, .. as students develop more first-hand knowledge of computer technology, it loses some of its appeal as a primary career field ." he current classoffreshmen filled out more college applications than any previous class. Nearly two-thirds of freshmen nationally applied to more than one college. Nearly one in six applied to four or more colleges. The largest number of multiple applications occurred among students enrolling at the most selective private colleges and universities, with 57 percent applying to four or more co Ueges. "These trends," the UCLA analysis suggests, " may renect increasing anxiety· among students and parents about gaining adm issio n to the •best 'college or university" - yet another T sign of creepihg materialism . UB had higher percentages of freshmen applying only here or to one other institution than did Stony BrookBinghamton - 11.6 per cent of our frosh applied only here, and 16 per cent to only one other institution. At the other two SUNY units, only 5 per cent applied solely to the camp us where they enrolled; just8.8 percent applied to only one other. At the other end of the con tinuum, over 20 per cent of Stony Brook-Bingham!lln frosh applied to more than 6 instituti ons, compared to 11.8 per cent of UB frosh and just 4.4 per cent of freshmen nationall y. UB ts increasing its percentage of freshmen who apply only here, accordi ng to preliminary readings of 1985 applications. We were the first choice of only 59.6 percent of 1984 freshmen. however. While the Stony BrookBinghamton first choice percentages are relatively he same, the norm for selective public universities generally is slightly more than 7JJ per cent. his ye3r's freshman survey provides evidence of declining participation rates in governmental financial aid programs. The percentage of freshmen rectiving Pell Grants was 19.8 per cent nationally, down from a high of 31.5 per cent in 1980. Participation in the SEOG and College Wo rk-Stud y programs also fell, as did participation in state aid programs. Among all government aid programs, only the Federal Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) registered any gain in 1984, up to 23.4 per cen t from 21.8 per cent in fall 1983 (but still below the peak participati on of26.3 per cent in 198 1). By contrast., this yea r's freshmen appear to be relying more on savi ngs, summer jobs, and part-ti me employment while a tt end- T ing college. T hirty-eight per cent of UB freshmen . for example, expect to get a job to pay college expenses - just about equal to the national norm - but four percentage points higher than at Stony BrookBinghamton. Approximately 75 per cent of our entering class expect to receive some financial aid from parents. a nd about 26 percent plan to dip into savings. Some 20 per cent receive Pell Grants; 4.2 per cent. SEOGs; 36 per ce nt, a state scholarship or grant: and 5.5 per cent, a college work -study stipend. Almost 30 percent of UB frosh have a Federal Guaranteed Student Loan: 7.2 per cent, an NDSL; 5. 1 pe r cent, another type of college loan. and 3.4 per cent. another type of loan. Thirty per cent express .. no concern" about financing college. Nationally. inco me levels of the students' parents continued to show the effects of innation. The perce ntage of families earning $40,000 or more per year increased from 26.9to 29.9 between 1983 and 1984. Over half of the freshmen in the nation come from families with incomes over $25,000. About one-third of UB fres hmen come from families with incomes over $40,000. but st ude nts at our peer public institutions are wealthier (46.4 per ce nt come from fajllilies with incomes over S40,000). About 40 per cent of Stony Brook-Binghamton freshmen report family incomes of more than $40.000. Correspondingly, 36 per cent of U B freshmen come fro m families where the father has not auended college: a high er perce ntage than at either Stony BrookBingha mt on or the selective public institution peer group. A ma rkedly higher percentage of UB frosh also co me from blue collar homes (2 1 per cent) than is true in the two companson groups. he 1984 UB freshman survey reT spo ndents was 86.4 per cen t white. 6.4 percent Black, and 4.9 percent Asian- 86.4 NA 81 .9 74.1 27.0 27.2 81.1 63.7 55.9 22.0 54.5 60.3 92.8 74.9 32.0 50.4 43.610.0 75.1 13.7 17.8 21.5 35.0 64.4 62.8 58.3 21 .8 52.1 61 .1 962 76.7 47.1 46.1 41 .2 , 1.3 77.5 1;!.1 19.0 '33.0 95.0 83.11 NA NA 77.2 2.0 24.9 59.8 12.1 1.3 24.1 55.1 11.5 1.1 u 2.5 81.1 73.8 26.1 25.3 60.4 52.9 56.8 21.4 48.4 52.7 92.5 74.0 28.1 48.3 47.3 8.0 75.2 11.9 17.9 27.0 94.0 85.7 74.5 28.1 27.8 65.8 74.1 562 25.9 59.6 642 90.6 79.5 37.5 50.5 41 .2 16.6 70.5 21.9 21.6 40.3 90.8 82.1 76.3 29.1 26.0 64.3 74.5 56.7 20.9 63.7 72.7 92.6 70.7 36.2 512 40.8 12.2 71.3 16.3 15.3 30.0 93.4 7.8 76.9 9.6 63.0 12.1 81.3 2.9 22.7 57.5 15.6 1.3 22 25.9 52.7 18.3 0.9 2.0 24.1 56.6 16.5 0.9 ... 80.2 75.6 24.9 28.4 55.4 65.8 58.2 182 49.0 52.1 94.5 67.4 , 27 2 49.2 35.6 10.7 74.7 13.5 16.7 29.9 94.0 . 6.4 74.6 1.8 24.1 52.3 20.6 12 American. Stony-Brook and Binghamton had higher percentages of Asia nAmericans (9.2) and fewer whites (82.3). Over half the UB freshmen res ponding are Catholic (53.0 per cent). Nationally, Catholics account for just39.3 percent of all freshmen; at Stony Brook-Binghamton, 42.5 per cent. Jewish students make up 11.6percentofthe UBfreshmanclass (compared to 3.1 per cent nationally and 26.8 per cent at Stony BrookBinghamton). Approximately 45 per cent of o ur freshmen come from Western New York, 12.6 percent from New York City. 18.2 per cent from suburban New York, 21.7 from the rest of New York State, and 2.9 per cent from outside New York. Almost half (48.6 per cent) come from more than 100 miles away; 16.7 per cent from more than 500 miles away. Sixty-five per cent of students entering here picked this University for its "good academic reputation." That's a full 10 points higher than the national norm but less than among freshmen at Stony Brook-Binghamt on where 76.6 per cent cited academic reputation . Approximately 4J per cent of UB freshmen reported that low cost was important to their choice co mpared to only 20.0 per cent of freshmen nationally and 36.6 per cent vf those at Stony Brack . Some 47 per cent noted they came to UB because graduates get good jobs. but only 28 per cent chose us because graduates go to top grad schools. Forty-one per cent picked Stony Brook- Binghamton beca use of their perceived grad sc ho ol connections. UB's size was "attractive"' to 16.5 per cent of freshmen. was co nsidered to have .. so me advantages" by 32.6 per cent. and was of .. no importance"to 11.5 percent. Twelve per cent find the instituti on "overw helmingly huge" and 27.4 percent are of th e opi ni on that its large saz.e •·can have so me disadvantages ... Almost lS per ce nt agree that priva te schools are better than public institutions (but only 10 per cent feel the difference in qua lity is worth the difference in price). Ninety perce nt of thl! entering class assessed UB's recruitment publications and co rresponde nce to be as good as o r beuer th a n those produced by other cdlleges and un ~ve rsi tie s. Finally. this mat erialistic, upwa rdly stri ving crop of freshmen both here and nationally is easi ly wearied. Over 90 per cent of th em report having been bored in class during their last year in high sc hool; 70 per cent hadn 't completed homework on time. a nd one third missed appointments because they overslept. 0 �· February 14, 1985 Volume 16, No. 18 Center. 8 a.m. WRESTLING" • SUNVAC Championships.

Sponsored by the Departmenl of Theatre and Dance, the show will continue at 10:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, through Feb. 23. The student troupe does mostly sa tire, said David G.

I lry not to get too bogged down on social happenings or fads. J"d be happy if just one person in the audience said, "Oh, I remember when I used to do that.'·· Some people may view that as an unsettling lack of social conscience. But what the performance lacks a's a morality play, it makes up in laughs. he material is slightly irreverent, but TOnenot abrasive or offensive. in novative ski t is a cross between Rosemary s Baby and the Dick Van Dyke Show. Another skit presents scenes of American fi lms being shown in China, wit h outrageous accompanying dialogue. Still another ski I is set at a procrastinators' meeting, a situation that is old hat in comedy. But Oral Hyjinx is a ble to avoid the cliche cind bring something inn ovative to the stage. Even the lroupe's name is oddball. It was chosen two years ago when members were searching for a name that would reflect its style, Robinson explain d. No, it has nothing to d o with lhe dental school. • '"When we put this togelher.

'"Somelimes we make a Jist of things people would be interested in; things like, maybe, Trivial Pursuit. Then we expand on those ideas. Some1imes they turn out totally different. ... We do a lot of improvs - improvisational work - a nd build out of that." There are a bou t I 5 skelches in I he show. including one that in volves audience participation. The actors stpp in the middle of a sentence and ask the audience to suggest a word . "The aud ience, in effect , builds the scene," Robinsoo said. At fi rst, everyone in the audience is reluctant to say anyth ing, Robinson noted , but by the end of I he ro ut ine, th e whole audience is shouting out. "'The audience loves it," he said . .. It makes it personal. I like the atmosphere to be very personal; I want them to feel comfortable and glad they're here. "This is the perfect spot for it," he added, glanci ng around the cozy Cabaret of the Center Theatre. "It's a perfect spot timewise, too , performing after the Zodi~ aque Dance Co mpany.

In April, he's scheduled to perform a one-man show at the Cabaret that will feature characters he has created. ··some are dramalic, but lhey":ill have comic touches," he said.

He was at the John so n Spacecraft Ce nt er in Ho uston , January 18-20. to examine current models of the planned permanently manned s pace station. residen t Reagan, in his 1984 State of th e Unio n address, made the permanent manned space stat ion the cornerstone of his com mercial space policy. The President •(lain called for the space station in thas year's S ta te of the Union address, citir:.g its long-term research benefits to human kind. P .. M y task," said Cohen ... is to examine the enviro nm ental design variables that deal with space, behavior. personal comfort , layout. all those thi ngs that make the human being happy. I'll also look at the relation ships among humans a nd . also, between equipment and hum ans." He added th at the unchanging e nviro nment. weightl essness, lack of sou nd . and the need to recycle the urine and feces for growing food in "a completely sealed environment," are only a few of the problems likel y to be enco untered . Cohen explained that NASA has long had its own grou p of space station consult an ts. but recently deemed it necessa ry to get a n ou tside po int of vie w o n a variety of considera ti o ns. Hence the decision of the ational Research Counci l. National Associatio n of Science, to engage the varied teams for their views on physiological and psychological issues. Co hen ex plained ' that he retofore NASA has paid lillie heed to the tremendou s psychological considerations of long-term space travel by individuals who will be. for the most part, civilians. On this sco re , Cohen said. <ASA could take a cue from the Soviet Union , which has long paid ane nt ion to the psychological well-being of its cosmonauts. permitting s uch items as homewo rk help to ea rth-bou nd offspring and other measures designed to mitigate the isolati on inheren t in thi s setting. By A N WHITC HER arold L. Cohen, U B professor of des ign studies and a desig ner ' with extensive training in behavioral psychol· ogy, is one of eight scie ntists advising NASA on space biology, medicine, and psychology ,as they would be affected by life on a space station. Additional panels of consu ltants are advising AS~ on: general strategies. cardiovascular and pulmonary function. gravitropism, developmental biology, metabolism and endocrinology, senso rimotor skills, and bone and mineral metabolism. Co hen is the only designer in the field of 47 scientists from such leading institutions as the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Mt. Sinai Medical School, the Labora· tory of Sensory Motor Resea rch of the National Institu tes of Health , Cornell Medical College, the University of Chi· cago, MIT, Brandeis, t~ e University of Nonh Carolina, The J ohns Hopki ns The iso lation of the space sta tion can be compared to that of sailors at sea for long periods of time , co·hen added . Moreover, the sense of losing the cheris hed mementos of one's past·, so often seen in elderly persons who give up their personal possessio ns to enter a nursing ho me , could easily occ ur in the space stati on, he said . ohen has had much experience recording human behavior over long periods of time; he believes this enhances h·is NASA cons uhancy. In the late 1960s, for example, he directed an experi mental fehabilitatron program at the National Training School of Boys in Washington , D.C. The ex perimen t involved a total, 24-ho ur living and learning environ ment in which initial motivation was provided v!a paymerlts of money for co rrect answers and other academic achievement. Gradually, o ther reinforcements were added, and the immediate payments we re deferred until - the schedule of payment s-reinforcements matched conditions in the out~ide world . Cohen ali.o C developed a method for recording and evaluating the behavior in th at yo uth priso n. In 197 1, the experiment was published , wi th James Filipczak, in book form (A New Learning En vironment), and featuring a foreword by Co hen's perso na l friend. the late R. Buckminster Fuller. and a preface by B. F. Skinner. While he was executi\e d irector of the Instit ut e for Behavioral Researc h. Inc.. in Silver Sp~ing. Maryland , Co hen "did the first major experi ment for envi ronmental con tro l of the hum a n o rganism s ponso red by NASA , in which a yo ung man wen t vo luntari ly into a space where we monitored him for long periods of time in iso lation." And he was associate professor at th e Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. While there. he developed a behavioral clinic for teen-age drug ab use rs. In preparing for his Ho uston trip , Cohen read both U.S. and Soviet reports on various space missions, includ ing those which discuss previous ly unreponed incidents of disorientation, nausea. and the like. Co hen wou ld like to apply so me of his newfound space knowledge to life o n earth . The space station's need to re-cycle hum an wastes cou ld conceiva bl y lead to li be ration fro m plumbing and sewage lines. he believes. .. In terms of human waste disposal," he con tin ued , " we haven't made any progress since the Roma ns, who devel oped the method of flushing wastes wit h water. " He added: " I'd like to make it possible for human beings to move wherever they wish, without having to be tied to plumbing and sewage lines." That is, the necessary techn o logy co uld eventuall y be discovered through space stati on resea rch . he space station is cu rrently perceived as an o rbital base fo r commercial activity, scie ntific resea rch. and th e servicing and repair of unmanned platfo rm s and satellites. The station could also be used for military purposes. NASA has stated that "the national securit y co mmunity" co uld use the facility "should such uses be identified . ''"The station will provide living and workingquaners for a six-to-eig ht-person crew, which will be rotated every three to six months," the New York Times reported last June. S pace stat ion sojou rns, however, could eve ntu ally be as lo ng as .. three to five years,." said Co hen. T The space station would likely involve a numbet of profit-making enterprises, as the whole commercial dimension of space travel and ex ploratio n becomes more pronounced. Already on the horizon is the cheape r, more effective, in-space manufacture of drugs, indust rial materials. high-strength metals and plastics, new a ll ~s. etc. After a period of some doubt, most scte ntists have now warmed to the scientific worth of the space station, the total cost of which could be $12 billion in 1985 dollars, reponed Science maga1ine in September.

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

The report also warns that waste and inefficiency in the use of educational tax dollars will persist unless major changes occur, the Chancellor explained. The following quotation was among those singled out by Dr. Wharton to underline the need for immediate action: ''The state can decide that New York is not going to get a public university of high quality. Or it can change the rules." He also observed that the Commission carefully avoided ide~tifying any "villains" as the cause of SUNY's arrested development in a managerial environ- ment with so many checks and balances "that true accountability has often been difficult to ascertain.·· T he change in structure, the Chancellor predicted, would make it easier to identify more accurately those individuals who are administratively accountable. This is in present contrast to not knowing who is responsible, .. because so many people are dealing with an issue that we don~ know who did it." Dr. Wharton also discussed the recommendation. "'about which there is considerable confusion and lack of understanding,·· that state funds for SUNY should be provided in a "lump sum" to the Central Administration. That body, in tum. would then be free to distribute money in a similar fashion to each campus unit. "A 'lump sum ' allocation is not just an automatic gift of dollars, "the Chancellor explained. Always involved is justification. including a "need analysis." as to why the operational funds are necessary. The new public benefit corporation formal also clearly retains the policy prerogatives of the governor and th e legislature in defining the amount oft ax monies to be made available for SUNY's educational purposes, Dr. Wharton added. It would also grant lhe Trustees the necesc sary authority and responsibility for allocatmg funds to carry out these purposes. · This would satisfy the requirement for greater nexibility in moving and reallocating resources to meet unanticipated changes, the Chancellor said, "eliminating the need to go through 15 appeals to do something that was already approved." The Commission also recommends that the University Centers at Buffalo and Stony Brook should be built up as comprehensive research centers to improve the quality of research and graduate education ... As the Commission looked at the totality of the system," Dr. Wharton said, .. there was concern over the national image of SUNY's competence in graduate areas ... While acknowledging the "reality of differences" between other institutions and such comprehensive units as Stony Brook and Buffalo, the Chancellor reassured campus representatives that he would not, and does not, su bscribe to a "two tier sy$tem." . He pledged that resources would not be taken from other SUNY units to support graduate / ~earch ce nters. This would be " inappropriate," especially since "the system is already underfunded as a whole." He dismissed " major resource shifts," as .. not desirable or feasible. " · In fact , the Chancellor pointed out , the Commission did not - .. as might have been expected" - recommend any campus closings as part of the splution. Such changes were not considered "in light of political and access issues." They recognized, instead, New York's " willingness to maintain dispersed units" on a statewide basis. or the Chancellor, it is not "busi ness as usual," and he is devoting 90 per cent of his time, he said, to take advantage of this ·•window of apport unity" that could result in significant future changes for SUNY. It is "very rare historically" when one has a chance to make a fund a- F at the Feb. 2 business session were the following: • that the University Faculty Senate requests that the Board of Trustees adopt the following policy: To express ns unconditional rejection of the policy of apartheid in South Africa, State UniverSity of New York shall no longer invest in companies doing busi ness in South Africa. • that the State University Senate urges the Chancellor to request a substantial increase in fellowshipS for doctoral stude nts ("from about $600,000 to well over $1 million1 so that the fellowships finally become comparable in value and in number to those given to graduate st ud ents by peer institutions. •that the University Faculty Senate requests the Chancellor to urge College Councils to include local governance leaders in the formal deliberations of Presidential Search Committees. • that the University Faculty Senate requests the Senate President to communicate to local campus governance leaders the Senate's recommendation that local search comminees should discuss the questions of campus governance and bylaws with prospective presidential candidates Juring the search process; that the Senate strongly endorrts the Chancellor's intention to include the topic of governance in the orientation of new presidents and requests that a representative of the University Faculty Senate be included in the discussion of this topic: that the University Faculty Senate urges the Chancellor, in concert with the University faculty, to institute a procedure for the timely resolution of campus bylaws in those cases where a new campus president and the local faculty senate have been unable to agree on rhose portions of existing campus faculty bylaws involving consultation , between the faculty and the president within one year: and , that at all tim es during a period of disagreement between the campus president and local faculty senate o er those portions of existing campus faculty bylaws involving consultation , the remaining articles of the local bylaws remain in effect. D mental impact, he concluded. Dr. Wharton is seeking to insure that the report receives wide review and co~­ ment from internal and external constituencies including campus councils, fac ult y, students, and alumni. He has already asked individual unit pres1dents to involve and utilize campus governance machinery to obtain faculty input and comment, ··as soon as possible." The Chancellor also commended the Commission for its .. unprecedeJ?-ted" action in not disbanding itself officially. All of the members have indicated their willingness to remain available for COf!tinued discussions. They expect to momtor the implementation ofthe report, and review the extent of progress made during the coming year. .. They want to see something happen," Dr. Wharton said . The Commission was headed by Ralph P. Davidson, chairman of Time, Inc .• and Harold L. Enarson, president emeritus of Ohio State University. n informal meeting with four members of the SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman Donald M. Blinken, Vice Chairman Judith Moyers. Ms. Nan Johnson, and Ms. Judy Duken - concluded the first day's session at the weekend SUNY Senate gathering. The trustees uniformly expressed th eir satisfaction over the sta tewad e coverage and support given the report by the news media, and each promised to continue working for the implementation of the findings. Chairman Blinken also emphasized "the importan~ of keeping the issue alive," because "there will be a tendency for the recommendations to slide if something does not happen this year." In response to a questio n about potential reactions to the report from the private education sector, Blinken said. "What is good for higher education in the state is good for all of us. We are not in a threatening mode, but considering a priority that New York has not addressed. ·· Included among the resolutions passed A Libraries to introduce automated circulation n mid February. the B libraries will introduce an automated circulation system which officials vo w will '"tak e the drudgery o ut of borrowing materials." The system. run by a GEAC minicomputer. will allow students. faculty. and staff to take out books without spending time filling out loan cards. lnstea(i . a library employee holding a laser-driven light pen will merely sca n a barcode label on the inside back cover of each item and on student and fac ult y/ staff ID cards. The hassle-free transaction can be completed in a few seconds. explains Steve Roberts, assistant director for systems at the University Libraries. The sys tem. already used by institutions such as Yale. Princeton. Rochester, Michigan, and the SmithsQ.Dian. has other appealing features. Roberts advises. For one thing, 1t can automatically put a book on hold or recall one. and n produces correspondence slips that, when mailed, ask a borrower to return an item o.r. tell a prospective one that his or her desired item is ready for pick-up. The system also can generate a list of on-hold books for library staff. Moreover. library personnel need only glance at computer monitors to find if a patron is ineligible to borrow books because of loss of student or faculty / staff status, or unpaid fines . The syst~m will even indicate the amount of the dehnquent fines. Beca use library staff will no longer have to spend countless hours manually sh ufning through reams of cards to track down a book. Robert says. energies can now be redirected to other work, such tion. In other words, when libra ry staff scan an I D, only basic information about the borrower is given. Selected staff have access to additional informauon. but even th en Roberts assures that .. nothing listed as confide ntial" by an employee on his or her personnel file. such as an unlisted phone number. was entered in the data base. The Libraries have already purchased software (or production of an on-line catalog that will give a run-down ~f library boldings to those usi ng public access terminals located in various umts. The on-line catalog, which should be ready within the· next year or so, wtll essentially replace the Libraries' card catalog. Once the public access terminals are installed, getting information on library materials will be as simple as typmg _a title, author or subject. The computer Will then instantaneously bring up information on all copies the Librarie~ own of a ~ - given title, give their locau~:m, note ~ whether they are in or not, and tf not, tell ~ when they are expected to be returned .

' as geuing the stacks in better shape and enhancing the data base. So far. approximately 900.000 out of a possible 1.1 to 1.2 million bibliogr~phic records have been incorporated into the data base. This represents most of the Health Sciences, Science and Engineering, and UGL collections and the most heavily used materials in Lockwood and the Law Library. Personnel last week sent out new I D cards to faculty and staff that contain a barcode for library use. Students have barcodes on their IDs. All tha! ~-\mains is forth~ user_to be "linked'" into the systetn - Wh1ch Will be done by library staff the first time the card is used . Currently, 5.000 students have already been linked. Until all patrons and items have been lin~ed , Robert s asks that patrons be a bit pat tent because the check-out time will be slower. The new system, Roberts notes. also allows for differential access to informa- "Eventually we hope to have ports available so people can access the catalog through terminals in their offices or homes;· Roberts said. . . "The days of actually having to v1sll a library to investigate a topic o~ to see 1f a particular book is available w1ll soon b~ over," according to a recent L~branes information sheet. .. By dialing mto th e Libraries' data base, you. will be able to conduct a specific item search or a general subject search: you will be able t? locate the items you need and find out 1f they are presently available."..

The anthropology major received a most unusual gift on her binhday in ovember- ~he was notified b) Music Television (MTV) Network> that ~he had \\On the grand pri7c in their latest promotion. a customized hot rod once dr\ven by Paul McCartney. The 1955 Ford; driven by the ex- Beatie in his recent movie ...

The vehicle sports a black fini~h with hand-painted names on the outside and palm tree scenes in the interior. It also features two phones and a computer, all props from McCartnefs movie. Smith was delighted with the prospect of owning a car that McCanney drove. Although just a baby when the Beatles stormed America in the ''Liverpool Invasion," she collected their albums. made Be a ties scrapbooks, and was a member of a Paul McCartney fan club. ~·1 had seen ;Give My Regard s to Broadstreet' twice and was planning to see it again the weekend of my birthday." recalls Smith. The surprise was twice as potent, then, when MTV called, told Smith that she was the contest's grand prize winner. and added an official MTV UHappy Birthday.;; After the excitement came a period of waiting. ··1 had to fill out the necessary papers, 11 says Smith ~ )IMTV received them on a Monday and said that rd get the car the following Thursday - it was su ll in New York City being modified with pollution controls.

"There are some scratches and the radio is missing it might have been stolen when the car was being modified. MTV says it will repair the damage but I'm not sure what will happen with N Smith with her 1955 Fotrl - It hes • telephone, too. car was not ready and the presentation would have to be postponed ; I) The prize was finally delivered just before Christmas vacation. "I was relieved to finally get the car," says Smith. who took delivery at her home in Kenmore. "There wasn't really a formal presentation. A mechanic drove it up from New York. An official from MTV was there with a photographer. There it."' Although Smith posed for pictures in the car. she hasn't actually driven it and is not sure she ever will. "I'd love to drive the car," says Smith. ;;but I don 't think 111 be able to afford insurance and this isn't a car that's really meant to be driven .

Smith intends to keep the car for a while , storing it at least through the win- tcr. and then plans to sell it. ;)It depends on what offers I get; she explained. "I wish J could keep it but I really can't take ca re of a car like that . It 11 need attention." While she doesn't pldn to get collision insurance in order to drive, mith does "ant to insure the car agamst damage while in storage.

This has become another of the all-toopractical complications which have made her view her grand prize as a mixed blessing. Meanwhile. until Smith decides what to do. the car is in storage. '"I really want to see it but I can't keep going back and forth to visit it." says Smith.

But U B personnel arc optimistic. Proposals include a SO per cent cut in the Tno Program as well a!tan inc1case in the amount of time taken to build the :,pace s.tation. '"'hich could affect re!tearch money. While concerned about propo:,ed cuts in Trio, he's not warned. said Roben L. Palmer, associate provost for special program~. Every year since the beginning of the Reagan administration, cutbacks have been proposed but were; fought off by Congres . •·1 try not to get in too much of a panic over the things I hear because of the history of this administration," said Palmer, who is also executive director of Trio. ··congress has not only mai~ed _it, but has made modest increaod:" hi!-srud. "rve been here since 1975 and I can) recall a year there hasn't been some rumbling about cuts. I'm concerned, but there is such broad bipartisan support the administration can't get the cuts W through~~~ One year, it was suggested that the program be abolished, but it survived, he said. Last year, a 25 per cent cut was suggested, but Congress instead gave the program a five per cent increase. The budget now under review is for 1986-87. In past years. parent groups and school system!t have conducted letter writing campaigns demonstrating the grass roots support f1>r the program; Palmer said. For 1984-85, UB has about $350,000 for the Trio Program which includes Upward Bound , Talent Search and Special Sen ices. All three are aimed at lowincome. fir:,t-generation college students. Palmer sa1d. Cuts in Talent Search and Upward Bound especially would have a devastating effect on the Buffalo areal Palmer said. Talent Search. which tries to interest high school students in attending college, serves about 1.200 students and places about 300 students in college each year; he said. Upward Bound works on development of skills uch as writing, math; and reading to help students complete high school and go to college. That serves about 110 students. Special Services is designed to retain students at UB and gives special instruction, advisement, and cultural enrichment. It serves about 375. hen it comes to proposed cuts with the space station, Palmer's attitude is echoed by Daniel Inman, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. "I'm very optimistic," Inman said. "I don't anticipate problems, but there W could be problems. II While stretching the time for building the ~pace station wouldn't take away grants resea rchers already have. it could make money harder to get because the pot of money available would be smaller; he explained . ot only would Univer!tity researchers be competing for less money, but companics. would have less work to do and in turn would have less money to spend on research grants. he said. Since most gran ts are renewable yearly or every few years. researchers arc always taking the chance that the grant might not be renewed, Inman said. " If you do rc!tcarch on ·:,oft' money rather than state money. you play that game all the time." he: pointed out. The propo:,cd cut assoc1ated with the space stat1on "has great potential to impact on our operation In a negati\'C way." he said ... But we survived other things and we'll s.un·ivc thi!t. too." 0 To Your Benefit Question: As a Stele employee, Is II necessary to contact the University regarding changes In my persona/life?

She decided to take an intensive language seminar through the Uni·1ersity of Texas, El Paso. during May and June.

The only limiting factor in this pilot plan was that all personnel and purchasing regulifions imposed through the State's Civil Sen·ice. General Services. and Audit & Control divisions would remain in effect. If th is is, indeed, the legislation the Governor has in mind to reintroduce, it w~mld serve as a sort of halfway step toward the total autonomv the Commission's report recommends: The Commission would have all of SUNY receive a lump sum budget to be spent as it sees fit , but a~ a public bqtefit corporation. its officers could presumably spe nd that money with fewer restrictions. he Governor also introduced and the legislature backed last year another pilot effon to provide a degree of purchasing flexibility to SUNY. Under this program, any unit of SUNY may purchase sup plies, equipment, and printing anP consulting servu::es up to a limit of $10.000 wi thout the restrictions of central T bidding requirements and purchasing limits, if a~ an educational insti tution it is able to secu re a better price for a given commodity than is available through regu lar state channels. Obviously, additional paperwork is entailed in proving that such a price break can be effected. In his budget message for 1985-86 develo ped prior to the release of the Commission report - the Governor takes credit for assisting SUNY "in rapidly responding to emerging technological, economic and academic advances" by affording its mana~ers "opportunities to administer the1r programs · with a high degree of flexibility." He pointed to the 1984-85 purchasing flexibility program as an exa mple of that effort. Although still in the pilot pha~e . the Governor said ... this purchasing flex,ibility program appears to have benefitted individual campuses in terms of both lower prices and indirect savings from reductions in paperwork. This program is recommended for continuation in 198586, and for expansion to include purchase of motor vehacles. Should the early indications of success be borne out overtiml", consideration will be given 10 permanent edactment of the program .~ In the current budget message the Governor also points to management tern, shut off from the outer world. ..They don't have consumer goods and services.

She had hidden addresses and a message from her Russian · friends in a · money bag hooked onto her bra. At the border. Russian inspectors began taking the passengers, one at a time, into compartments where both their luggage and their persons were checked. Goldstein took the money bag off her bra and put it in her bag. hoping no o ne would question what looked like sanitary napkins. Just as her name was called, the compartment doors were thrown open and the inspection was over. Half the passe ngers had been inspected: she was in the other half.

Although his broader lump sum program was rejected last year, Cuomo noted. a number of small SUNY-wide appropriations are available which SUNY can direct wherever the funds are most needed. As examples of these. he pointed to lump sum appropriations for building repairs, equi pment replacement, and studen t computing access. In the coming year he is recommending similar authority for distribution of funds to augment engineering programs and for implementation of SU Y computi ng upgrade programs. uomo cited still anoiher area in which he is championing SU Y discretionary action: .. Additional flexibility in reallocation of faculty and support resources will become available in 1985-86 as the retirement incentive program establi!,ed by Cba(1ter 665 of the Laws of 1985 is implemented," he noted. "Completely self-funded through savings generated by replacement of highly paid senior faculty with more modestly salaried teaching staff, this program will result in a pool of some 620 positions available for distribution to the campuses. Through careful distribution of these positions, the University should be able to bolster academic C 'This was very free of that," she said of her recent experience. There was more emphasis on the love of the Russian language and culture shared by the teacher exchange participants and their Russian instructors. "There were good collegial feelings and friendliness." said Kiedrowski "sad feelings all around when it was time to go. "Family feelings had developed between us ," she said. "You could tell they had gotten kind of close to us." While in Moscow. Kiedrowski met Russians who were friends of her A~er­ ican friends. They would visit irv\he Ru ssians' homes and enjoy food and hours of conversation. joking. and singing. They grew quite clo~e. which is not unusual , she said. Forming immediate, strong friendships is typical of Slavic peoples. With her Polish heritage, she is quite comfonable with it. "For a lot of students. that"s what impresses them most. what they miss most and what they go back for - those very close friendships they develop with people, .. she said. "When you take tours with official meetings. you don't have the chance to get the whole impression of what it"s like." She realizes that her experiences. too. have been limited. She has met with just one seg ment of the population. And even two months didn't give her a complete picture of Moscow, much less all of Russia. er gaze was distant and she stopped talking for a moment. H" I miss it. "she said. rousing herself.

When she went to Russia as a student. she was apolitical and interested only in literature. But people would constantly a~k her about the United States. focusing her attention on why she chose to live here.

SU:-.lY officials have been contending for years that they have been unable to compete v. ith similar public institutions in attracting t~e best administrators. This program wtll cost the state nothing, Cuomo said, and .. will result in levels of compensation that more closely reflect national salary trends for public un·iversity executives.·· The Governor also commented in his budget message that "further flexibility" has been achieved through handling of Income Funds Reim bursable (IFRs) although here again the freedom is ~O! as great as th e Independent C_ommassaon thinks it should be.

An even more difficult task is to try to get a complete picture of a large. com- ' plex country such as the U.S.S. R. UB faculty and staff who have visited there recently have returned wit~ impressions that are often surprisingly different from each other. Their backgrounds, expectations, contacts, and purposes see m to have colored their vtewpoints. Their proficiency in the language or the l~ck thereof is another important fac'tor that affected their opinions. While they realize their visits were limited, five recent visitors to Russia have agreed to share some of their expe riences with our readers. he way th e society handles informati on is one thing that impressed Irving Massey during his May trip to Russia. · The professor of English and comparative literature spent II days in Moscow and Leningrad as part of his sabbatical. He tried to do some research on the English poet Shelley, but was denied access by a number of libraries in both cities not only to any manuscripts there might have been, but to the manuscript cata logs as well. "It seems to be a society that centers on control of information," he said , speculating on why his request was refu sed . "No distinction is mad e between political and other kinds of information." He found he'd have to go to the top for the most trivial request. ••The bureaucratic control , over everything was astonishing, ... he said . Massey.had expected somet hing different. The so n of Russian immigrants, he was raised among Communists -=poor people who held the idea of th e 1920s and '30s that there was hope in Russia. .. , was disappointed," he said. Massey's revision of his concept of Russia began right at the border. He had brought his correspondence, personal work and photocopies of manuscripts from other European libraries he had visi ted . An ex planation was demanded for each and f!"lery piece bf paper. ..They hate paper," Massey commented. Massey was also physically sea rched. "We tend to respect a perso n's body sp;tce," he said .... For them , there's no hesit3tion to lay a. hand on you. That readiness for physical intrusion was striking." because the old people are not watched as closely. The refusenik is a physicist. After being refused exit from the country, he was demoted to electrician. "I heard end less stories of antiSemitism," Massey said ... The minute they know yo u're a Jew, things are more difficult." Jews are discriminated against for jobs and promotions, and things are even worse for refuseniks, he said. "The Russians are caught between wanting to get rid of the Jews and not letting them out at all, .. he noted. Massey found the nation's large military presence disturbing ... It's as if they're at war not only with Afghanistan , but vtith the whole world." Massey caught him self unconsciously block ing out th e military personnel he saw on the streets. ••At first , I was eager to practice my Russia n," he said. "i!ut at the end, I pretended not to know a word . I was so angry and hostile." Massey thinks it's a good op portunity for an American to visit Russia, but is suspicious of the Ru ssians' motives for sending people here . .. 1 can't imagine the Russians doing anythin g without a purpose." Massey said. "If they se nd a librarian here, th ey've go t to have an ulterior motive.'' The angry feelings about the country rem ain with him. "I don't think I'd go back ," he said . "I'm afraid I'd get into a fight." T hen Wendy and Ed Katkin visi ted Russia for tw o weeks this summeJ, they had little contact with the people. "Everything we did was clearly set up for tourists, "said Wendy, special assistant to the vice president for research. Her husband, Ed , professor and chairman of Psychology. attended a conference on behavioral medicine and health psychology in Moscow. He was invited by the Collegium lnternationale Activitas Nervosae Superioris through the auspices of the Soviet Academy of Medicine. He rep rese nted the Society for Psychophysiological Researc h, of which he was president. The Kat kins traveled with a small group of psychologists, a Soviet guide who was '4_ssigned to th em. and an American guide fluent in Russian ... 1 !Vink we agree," Ed aid , "the Soviet government goes out of its way to make it difficult to interact with the people. ot knowing the language put us at a real disadvantage.

"By and large, they don't have access to information;'' he Said. "That's what makes it so val uable to them.

Assembled by actress Diane Keaton and an historian Marvin Heiferman and originally collected into a book, the ph01ographs are now touring galleries in the United States. Their creators would be surprised. The still photographer, according to Mr. He iferman, was. "the poor relation" on the movie set ''the timid soul on the extreme edge ~f the execution. The mathematical principles and design concepts behind this work have brought it to intemational attention.

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

M ... It's the most enco uraging thing 1\.e seen since coming to ew York State;· Sample said of the 78-page report , called "The Challenge and the Chotce," issued last week by the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University. The commission "'as appointed about a year ago by Chancellor Clifton R. Wh arton Jr. , with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The commission is co-chaired by Ralph P. Davidson, chairman of the board of Time. Inc., and Dr. Harold Enarson , president emeritus of Ohio Stale University. The 15-member panel is composed of peo ple from various sectors of the economy. The report supports UB's own goals, Sample said. " I satd we should become o ne of the 10 best public unive rsi ties in the nation in the next decade ... the president stated. ...Thi report is \try sup portive of that goal. The commi.!tsion repon. citing the leadership they have demonstrated in the past. recommended that B and Stony Brook be built into centers competi ti\'e with o th er public umversities in the country. · .. The emphasis on research and graduate education comes out loudlY-and clearl y, .. Sample.continued . "wit h respect to greater dece ntral iz.ation a nd more autonomy, the report gives the ~tro nges t possi ble impetus. And econom1c development pervades every cha pter." If implemented , th e repon·s recommendat io ns would have several effect on B, Sample said. The emphasis on research and graduate education at B v.ould mean .. moving into the \try fi':5 t ranks of resea rch nation ally,'' he said. ccording to the report. SU \'is not considered to be a •·world class" Uni versity or even a leader among the states· public universities, although it ha~ the potent ialto become one oft he greatest of the public uni,er::,it) systems. The present sta.tu!l ot S ~).:..hurts in term s of auractinggrants and contracts and the \Cr) best A s.mp1e IIndo encouraging ,.... In the ,.porl. student • ample a1d . New Yorl State is a net exporter of students.. he noted . What S :-IV doesn·l have IS one ortwo camp uses that rank with the very best in the coun try. he sa1d . That's what makes u different from systems in states such as Wisconsin. CaJifornia or Tex.as. If the re:pon writers are heeded , that co u ld c h ange. Ma rginal additional resources would no longer be allocated across the board. but would be given to B and Stony Brook. Sample said. The New York Times mentioned Berkeley and C hapel Hill as potential models for excellence that S ' Y might look to in developing its two ·nagship" cam· puses. T he second mam proposal of the report calls for NY to be rest rue~ ture:d a.s a .. public benefit corporation ... in an attempt to cut red tape. As a public benefit corporation. SUNY would be subject to governmental O\ersight but empowered to manage its budget, academic and personnel affairs free of many of the restrictions cu rrently 1mposed by state law. S Y would get lump-sum appropriations rather than the minutely dela ile:d, exte rnal determinat ions that now restrict the system's expe nd itures and its ability to allocate and manage its resources . The plan calls for the same lump-sum fund ing to be extended to individual campuses. This would affect budgeting proce· dures. the way in which decisions are made and the way time is spent. Sample said tding that ind ivid uals on campus spen, n inorrnnate amount of ume .. v.orkw~ v.ith - and sometimes around the m~ riad requiremen ts Lhat exist now. The proposed change " ould "gl\c 11> lot more ume to \\Orry ahout c\ccller.cc • in tea hing and research , not about the bureaucra~!c si tua tio n;· Sample S<iid . a The proposed change ~<ould al o allow campuses that generate mcome to keep the funds , he satd .

Sample ~aid . .., thmk 1he report ~~ sa)'ing it should be bottom-up." It could mean a larger role fort he niversit) Council. and v. o uld ttrtainly mearr a larger role for 1he deans and faculty. he said . Decisio ns should be made by indi, idual faculty members whenever pos ible and go up the ladder only when necessa ry. he report call> SU Y the .. most ovc,. regulated university in the nation.·· SUNY i treated like any ot her state agency. causing 1he state to run .. its universi t ies like its prisons.·· as one committee member put it. The corollary ts that unless the siittation is changed . 11 will be impossible to compete with olhe r universities, Sample noted. An example of the bureacracy is the fact that at one time. e\ery travel request by a SUNY faculty member had to be apprt)\·ed by a bureaucrat in Albany. he T ~aid . ..

Regan visited the campus last Friday(Jan. 25) to release results of an audit conducted by his department which found Univc.-sity fiscal S practices- after a few improvements are instituted - to be generally sound . At a press conference called to release his report. he declared his support for the reco mmendations of the Independent CommisSion on the Future of the State University (see separate article) which called for md"re fiscal autonomy for SUNY campuses. ' Major criticisms-regarding US cited by the State audi tors in their sys tem-wide investigati on regard ed student billing _ procedures, uncollected accounts. inventory procedures and cash collections. U B is not billing studcni.S and collecting tuition fees in a .. timel y" manner consisten t with SUNY po licies. the report said . Instead of billing students o n the first day of classes. UB does not bill until three we"eks in to the semester. with payments · Jue fo ur weeks later. State taxpaye rs lost $121.000 in potential in terest during a recent semester as a resuh of the lagged tuition payment plan. Regan said. In his response , also given at the press conference President Sample said the Universi ty will comply with all the recommendations of th e auditors. This September, students will receive thti r tuition bills o n the first day of classes. Sample pointed out, however, that the late fees imposed on laggard feepayers (U B is the only SUNY unit which has them) generate more than $200.000 in revenue each semeSter. whieh more than offsets the lost interest income. He added , "Our delayed billing has had a good effect fo r certain fami lies hit hard by the area economic recession. but we need to get in compliance. with SUNY policy." An01her issue identified in the audit is the "write off' of$536.700 in tuition and fees as uncollectable during an 18-month period ending in September, 1983. Sample said that this amount is less than one per cen t of the $60 million in tuiti on and fees collected d uring th at period ,,a collecti on rate of better th an 99 percent. which "may be o ne of the best in th e country." he audit also noted that a total of S 118.000 in equipment was lost or sto len from campus during a recent ISmonth period and st ressed the need for better inventory procedures. record keeping. and physical securit y. Sample co mmented that in view of the fact that US's inventory includes more than 185.000 items \alued at S210 million. this loss is "astoundingly low.''le ·s than o ne- half of one-tenth .ol one per cent of its equipment.

"\Ve agree with th e Comp troller' tfaat there is still roo m for improvement.·· Sample also sa id o th er recom me ndations for improvement in accounting for cas h collections will be fo llowed. "This Uni ve rsit y is in preuy competent hands." Regan stated . noting that his auditors could fi nd no major s hortcomings in campus financial practices. In explaining the pu rpose of th e audit. he pointed out. "This is no t th e type of state interference that th e Independent Commissio n was talking a bout. This audit and our relati ons hip to the university sys tem through post audits illustrates why the university co uld and should have more autonomy - we're always going to co me in right behind them." Sample concurred: "Thi~ sc:,sio n is demonstrative of how a healthy post audit :,ystcm ope rat es.

Tra veling away from the river the wate rs gro w increasing ly mo re sal ine. shading into salt nats. This natural sal ine gradient is typica l of an estuary where marine life is subject to •frequent, harsh enviro np1ental shifts.

By co ntrast, the ce lls o f estuarine al g ae c o nt ai n vigoro us " pumps" that transport salts back and forth throug h cell membra nes in respo nseto changes in external ma rin e condi tio ns. This salt exchange constitutes a kind of c h e~i cal dia lo gue between o rga nis m and cnv1ro nme nt that Bisso n is tryinl! to decipher. - · . "The first alga I studied ," recoun ts Bisso n, .. was a weed y, strictly mar ine spec1es kno wn fo r its dark s hape as 'dead man 's ha nd ' that grew near th£ Duke Ma rine A �January 31, 1985 Volume 16, Nos. 15-16 AND STONEWORT Labo rat ory on the coast of North Carolina where I worked in the mid-70s." She was interested in how the alga responds to changes in salinity. "But what really intrigued me was the similarity of salt pumps in fres hwater and marine species. If the salt pumps are the same, what accounts for the vast differe nces in the kinds an.d quantities of salt these algae can tolerate?" The answer. Bi s~o n and other researchers believe. is t~e mechanism that regulates salt pumps. The focu s of her research . therefore, has bee n on physiological co ntrol processes -in ·a lgal ce lls. In particUlar, she has exa mined the ·regulation of osmotic prOcesses, an o bjei:t of widespread scientific inquiry si nce Nollet perfor~ h.is crude bladder ex periments 40 ea rs before the French Revolutio n. "In o species do we fully ·understand the mechanisms of information transfer or the way in which the in~onpatio~ alters the cont rolled processes m Q.Smouc regulation, .. notes Bisso n. smosis is one of those delightful natural processes that refuses to be tamed by desc ription. Nevertheless. an attempt at a more precise acco unt will be helpful in grasping what is mea nt by the governance of that process. · Most living membranes permit the 0 passage of wat er (called the solvent) while being less permeable to the passage of dissolved materials (called the solutes) in water. During os mosis - all. other factorS re maining equal - wate r moves from a region of lesser solute co nce ntrati on through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of greater solute co ncentration . Beca use plant cells usually have a higher os motic co ncentration than their environment, water tend s to migrate into th em. This constant movement creates press ure against the interi or of the cell wall , the rigid nonliving strucrure that surrounds pla nt cell membranes but is absent in a nimal cells. lntrace llular water press u-re is called · turgo r and it explains wh y lettuce stored in water stays crisp. Bisso n expands: "When the ex ternal os moti c pressu re varies. cells suffe r a change in turgo r 011- h .1mc. or both. The abi lity of a lgae to regulate turgo r is clea rl y a n advantage in th e marine e[wironmen t where ex terrla i os motic pressure is large and va riatio ns ofte n occur, especiall y in near -s hore: sJlallow regions. An acute decrease o r increase in ex ternal os motic press ure co ul d cause a plan t cell to fat all y shrivel or rupture. if it did not compensate by tak ing up or ex pelling salts." To com pound matters. a number of I ,. /'/ transport mechanisms unrelated to turgor regulation draw materi al into the cell. When this movement occurs agai nst th e e lectroc hemi ca l g radient it requir es e nergy a nd ca rrier molecules a nd is therefo re called active tra nsport. (Osmosis per se is a passive process that needs onl y a co ncen trat io n grarl ient and a se mipermeable me mbrane to tr ans pire.) Many solutes tend to coilcentrate in the sap of th e vac uole. an enclosed space th at clajms most of the volume of th e gia nt a lga l cell and dominates osmoti c re latio ns. These solutes include sa lts like potassi um a nd chloride. which pri ncipally assist osmosis. a nd materials whi ch arc required fo r. or arc the products of. metabolic act ivi t ieS. An y di ssolved substance in the vac uole. howeve r. alters solute concen tra tion, thereby innuencing os motic pressure wit hin the cell. Bisson found that Lamprolhamnium adjusts interna l osmo tic pressu re and thereby maintains relatively consta nt turgor press ure th ough ex posed to sa linities varyi ng from nearl y fresh wmer to twice that of sea water. "Several species of giant-cel led mari ne algae regulat e th eir turgor by controlling the ionic conce ntration of the vacuolar sa p," reports Bisso n. .. A key feature of the regulat io n is a negati\'e feedback of turgor press ure on th e rate of active uptal<e of ions. prese rving a roughly equivalent osmotic gradient dCspite variations in external salinit y." Frc~hwateT species. on the other hand . usuall y respond 10 external salinit y variations by maintaining a cons tan t internal os motic press ure. The res ult ant Joss of turgor is minor since externa l os mo tic pressure in fresh water is low - due to the relative lack of di ssolved •salts and min erals . Bi s~o n explains tha t " th e ions of potassi um ( K +)and chloride (Cn urc the: main ~olute~ in the l...li mprothamnium vac uol e. and are mo~t important in cQntrolling internal o:-.mo ti c press ure." She found that other minerals. salts, sugars and en zy mes. though present in appreciab le amounts. arc inconsequential for turgor regulation. ..The differcnct.• between pl;.mts which regula te turgor directl y. like Lamprothamnium. and t hose freshwa te r spefies that do not. ma y be the presence or ab~cncc of a mechanism to meas ure tu rgor and translate that measurement int o a signa l to alter membrane transpo rt propert ies,'' renccts Bisson. Her searc h for tha t mechanism led her in rece nt years • to a tiny lake o ut side Saskatoon where a sa h-t okra nt Charophyte called Chara burke/Iii clings to th e mud dy bo tt om. joini ng U B as an ass istan t professor in 1980, Bisson has been S ince co nducting com pa ra tive studies of Chara burke/Iii - nicknamed sto newort fo r its motley limesto ne cOat - a nd its fres hwater coUsin, Chara coral/ina.

The cuts, if approved, wouldn't be fell until the 1986-87 academic year si nce the ndingfor 198~6 is al ready in place, he P ~··T of t'-nain proposals are: one, to place ,000 cap on total student aid from all ederal sources, and two, to deny eligibility for Guaranteed Student Loans to any applicant with family income over $30,000 regardless of need . The $4,000 cap would hit grad uate and professiona l.· students the hardest , Conner said. Students living on campus would also feel the crunch. The maxi mum amount of student aid now allowed each person depends on that person's t'Uition a nd fees, room a nd boaFd , books and supplies. perso nal expenses. and transportation. he explained. A B undergraduate who commutes is allowed $4,730 now. If the cap were in effect. a commuter receiving full financial aid wou ld be on ly $730 short. But an undergraduat e li ving on cam pus or who is independen t is allowed $6.130 now. The cap watlld mean .thal a stud em in thi s ca tegory now receiving full financial aid would co me up $2.130 short. (Ma rried stud ent s are a llowed even more - 59.090.) " It co uld be devastating to a student living on campus." Conner said ... And it wbuld really hurt the graduate student." Graduate stud ents who live with th eir parents are now allowed up to $5,820. Campus reside nt s and independent students are allowed $7.220. Married grad st udents may receive up to $ 10.180.

The prese nt system a ll ows studen ts with a family income of up to about $40,000 to receive so me aid if they meet a need s test.

(AT FAR RIGHT) John Grimes (James Bond 111) on the floor of the.Temple of the Fire Baptized in 'Go Tell Jt on the Mountain.' January 31, 1985 Volume 16, No. 15 n January 14, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, WNED-Channell7 presented a powerful adaptation of James Baldwin's first novel, Go Tel/It On The Mountain. King is the first American hero to have a national holiday declared in honor of his birthday since the advent of television. His is the only birthday which is commemorated each year with a television special. Back in 1979, long before Congress had declared King's birthday a national holiday, this effort was initiated by WNED-Channel 17 in Buffalo. Wiley Hance produced A Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. in which opera stars Marian Anderson and Clamma Dale joined with guest conductor Henry Lewis a nd the Buffalo Philharmo nic Orchestra at the Concert / Theatre Hall of Buffalo 's new Convention Center, and in 1980, Hance produced a second Tribute which featured actress Cicely Tyson a nd tenor George Shirley with Julius Rudel and t'he Buffalo P.hilharmonic Orchestra. In 1982, the special was produced by Howard University's WHMM-TV, Channel 32 in Washington, D.C., the only Blackowned PBS stati on in th e country. Martin Luther King: We Shall No t Forget featured interviews with Stevie Wonder and Coretta Scott Kin g, the widow. Other local stat ions played a rol e in other yea rs. All of these programs were broadcast natio nall y to the 300 oth er public stati ons, and helped to gai n recognition for King's birthday. 0 HE ROTHKO CHAPEL. Another institu ti on which has consistently T honored King is The Rothko Chapel in By GERALD O'G RADY Houston , Texas. Last year, it showed The March, a film which my late UB colleague James Blue had made for distributio n abroad by the United States Information Agency. It features · King's speech, "I Have a Dream," made at The March on Washington on Augu st 28 , 1963 when 200 ,0 00 Americans engaged · in the largest peaceful protest in our history. According . to noted film critic Richar<! Dyer McCann, it is the best government "s ponsored . film ever made in this . country. The Roth ko -.Chapel was consecrated for meditation in 1971. In 1964, John and Dominig.ue de Menil, Houston and inter- national art benefactors, had asked Mark Rothko to create a religious environment, a sacred place. Rothko proposed the octagonal plan of th&-Chapel, designed by P.hilip· Johnson, and created the fo urteen paint ings which adorn it in 1965-66, just before his own suicide. The Chapel began the celebration of King's birthday in 1972. According to its Executive D irector, Dr. Thompson L. Shannon, the purpose is "to understand Kin g's li fe and how it came about." Every year, he has invited African am bassadors from the United Nations, U.S . Senators, and other distinguished guests to share their views of King and his mission. This yea r, former President Jimmy Cartertalked on human rights ;md the Harlem Boys Choir performed . Last year, James Blue's film was so po pular that it had to be shown three times , and after each screening, all of those in attendance surro unded the refl eccing pool which contai ns Barnett Newman's "Broken Obelisk," joi ned han ds, a nd sang "We Shall Overcome" an d ot her songs, as is done eac year, no matt er what the event. "The Broke n Obelisk," its tip resting on th e tip of a pyramid, stands 26 feet high and is dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. Wh en ewman made it in 1967, he was thinking of primal creati on and infini ty. In a letter to J oh n de Menil, he wrote: " It is concerned wi th life. and I hope I ha ve transformed its tragic content into a glimpse of the su blime ... The de Menils acquired it Q.ecause it reminded them of King's life which was ab ruptl y cut off. like the obelisk. by death , but transcended itse lf. It s connection with King has always reminded me of the obelisk, designed by Robe rt Mills and dedicated a cen tu ry ago (1885) to George Was hingt on, which stands in our Capitol Gro unds, 555 feet tall, 1800 miles to the nort h of Houston, the site of King's own famous speech. The Rothk o Chapel was erected just ac ross the stree t from the small white house in which I fo unded th e Med ia Center in 1968 and invited James Blue to be it s first faculty member. Memories lin ger there: on the night of King's assassinati on, April 4, 1968, one of my new colleagues at the UniverSity of Buffalo, the late Professor C.L. "Joe" Ba,rber, was lecturing at th e Medi ~ Center on the fi lm versions of Shakespeare's plays. James Blue and the de Menils were in the audience, and we suspended the screening of Olivier· Hamlet to keep a Vigil at th eir home. When I· last visi ted The Rothk o Chapel. on the twentieth anni· versary of John Ke nnedy's assassination on November 22, 1983, "The Broken Obelisk" had been vandalized. and ret urned to the Lippincott Brothers in Connecticut for refabriquion. BLUE. James Blue's fi lm on Martin Luther King was influenced by J ames Bald win's The Fire JNextAMES Time. In 1963, Blue had just returned from France where he had lived for many years, and he had al ready made the firs t of his three filmsset in Africa. He brought a uniquely global perspective of inte rnati o nal brotherho od to his task that yea r, which was to make a film about America's racial problems which could be presented to foreign audiences. Our racism was a black mark against democ racy all over the world. What could be said? While Blue was researching the film, James Baldwin, who had again moved back to France, published The Fire Next Time in March, 1963. Its second part was called "My Dungeon Shook: Lett er to My Nephew James oo the One Hundred Anniversary of the Emancipation," and it co ncluded: .. You know, and I know, that the co untry is celebrating one hundred years of freedom one hundred years too soon. We cann ot be free until they are free. God Bless Yo u, James." , , In April, 1963, Martin Luther King wrote abou t a real du ngeon, and published his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail," addressed to eight fell ow clergy men from Alabama. He quoted Thomas Aquinas, Martin Buher. and Paul Tillich, and said : "Just as the Apostle Paul left his vi llage of Tarsus and carried the gos pel of Jes us Christ to the four corners of the Graeco-Roman world , so I am compelled to carry this gospel of freedom beyond my own home town .... We will re ach th e goal of freed o m in Birming h:\m and all over the natio n, because the goal of Ame rica is freedom. We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.·• l men ti on these writings of Baldwin and King because James Blue bo th wrote and narrated the soundtrack for The March. and the word freedom echoes through every section. He consciously reca lls Baldwin when he says: "If I am not free, yo u are not free." In May, 1963 . the late Ro bert Kenned y held a meeting with Blacks in th e ew York City apartment of Kenne th Clark . James Baldwin was there as were Harry ' Belafont e. Lena Ho rne, and Lorrai ne Hansberry. The exchanges were sharp, and word spread through the country that whites could simply no t grasp the nation's pressing problems. Clark would later write, after Robert Ken nedy's assassi natio n: "The fact that Robert Kennedy sat through such an ordeal for three hours proved that he was ~mo n g the best the white power �.· January. 31, 1985 Volume 16, Nos. 15-16 out to do. As it ·was being completed in the editing room in late Nove mber, President Kenn edy was shot in Dallas. Despite oppositio n from the Prcsadential Advisory Commissio n o n Information Policy, hi s film was s hown all over the world and carried Martin Luther King Jr.'s message (a nd his own) to th e four co rners of what had become known as the American Empire. A M ES BALDWIN . James Bald win's firs t novel wa ~ a se miau to bi og raph y of a 14year o ld Harlem boy's conversion to Jesus. Its setting. th e Temple of th e Fire Bapti zed. is the Harlem sto refro nt coro llary of The Rothk o C hapel. The whole J sto ry take ~ place within 24 hours. from when th e author's surrocatc. J ohn Grimes. ariseS o n Saturday morn ing to when he "rise!<. from th e dead'' o n Sunday morni ng. It s style is remi ni sce nt of Faulkner beca use each of its fir!'lt four sections is based o n th e mc mon of a character whO offers an ove rl ap ping recollectio n oft he eve nt s from a diffe rent point of view. "I HAVE A DREAM" - . - Martin "GO TELL IT ON T·HE MOUNTAIN" structure had to offer. There were no villains in the room - only the past of our societ y." On June 15, 1963, President Jo hn Kenned y wro te a lenerto President Dacko of the Ce ntral African Repubhc , who had questio ned his resolve o n the racial issue, and James Blue received a copy, as he. did of all such co rrespondence at the time. The lale President co ncluded his epistle: .. I wis h to ass ure yo u and the nati o ns of the world , both free and unfree, that the United States Government has made nd" attempt, no r will it make any attempt, to conceal in any way its problems in the a rea of race relations ... W e have met other challenges in o ur nati o nal existence, and we will ove rco me this one.·· On August 28, 1963, James Blue translated all of th is ex perience in to The March and the even Is of that one day, along with his carefully co nstructed narration, which took mo nth s to write, _beca me the film he had se t a nd 1hc evc nl s include th e hi story of the relati o ns h ips between blac ks a nd white!'! i n Ha rlem and th e So uth going back to 1830. th e sex ual struggl~ of th e ncsh again st the s pirit, a nd the singu lar Black religio n wh ich co mbined the Blue s wi th the Old Testament images of wandering in th e wilderness and bei ng impr iso ned in exile.

J o hn experiences hi s co nve rsion thrashing a bout o n th e Threshin g Floor (th e t itl e of th e last secti o n) of the storefront church. Like the boy in the novel , Baldwin himself was training to be a preacher at that age and James Baldwin had undergone a religi o us ex pe rience at Mount Calvary of the Pentacos tal Faith Church, where his father was the preacher, just as Gabriel is in the novel·. The film remains faithful to the novel but has to prese nt t he past histories of the characters in brief flashbacks as they move thro ugh th e action, rather than as sustained co nfessional reveries which all take place o n Saturday night. In some ways, these flujd transitions fro m past to prese nt furth er intensifY the novel's fores had owings and echoings of. eve nts,. a Solyle whi ch Baldwin inherited from the C hristian tradition of inte rpreting the Old and New Testament s as signs of each other, usually called typo logy. We are presented with a moving exposi tion ef a cen tu ry of ex lernal and internal Black history,.ending in 1935. • " When history is what it should be, "said th e Spanish philos opher, humani~t Onega y Gassct , "it is an elaboration of cine ma .... the true historical realit y is not the thing, but the evolu tion formed datum , the fact , t when these mate a It and fluidify." It has gone ~If/ 13 unnoticed tha t all of Baldwi n's wrilings are unus ually cinematic. His scnings in Blues fo r Mister Charley. for exampl e, are superimposilions. Early o n. in hi s ''Autobiogr~ p hi cal Preface" to Notes of a Native Son (1955). he acknowledged his .. mo rbid desi re to ow n a six teen millimeter camera and make experimental movies.·· The best descr ipt io n of his conver ion experience at the end of Go Tel/It On The Mowuain comes at the end of his book o n film criticis m, The Devil Finds Work ( 1976). which is at once a stra nge a utob iogra ph y based on the film s which he has see n ove r his lifetime. a nd a history of th e treatme nt of th e image of Black people.

Training: it's no jolie at UB By Ann Whitcher "T eacher training is perhaps the biggest running joke in higher education ," wrote Newsweek's Jonathan Alter in a recent art icle describing the numero us shortcomings of teacher education in the United States . The article pointed to shoddy programs which , to one degree or another, share a va riet y of negative characteristics. They inc lu d e overemphasis on education courses to the detrimen t of sound training in an academic subject; poor overall student quality, and ineffectual .training for the classro.om itself. . Dean Hugh (Petrie (above) notes that student teachers · here major in their academic discipline while minoring in teacher tducation. PHOTOS: PHYLLIS. CHRISTOPHER how and where to get good I ndced, teach ers is a hot topic in ed ucational circles today. following the nurry of national reports decrying the state of American elementary and secondary education. Educators are now examining the state of teacher training at a time when, according to a report issued by the Rand Corporat·ion , the s uP'PIY of teachers will meet only 80 per cent of th~ demand in just four years. Critics rightly castigate the state of many teacher training programs. Hugh G. Petrie. dean oflJ B's Faculty of Educa.tional Studies. s.aid r~cently. But . they ought also to recogmze that many se r-· vicea ble. even excellent, teacher training programs do exist. There is no o ne form of teacher training, but rather a ··vast· variation of quality of program and in the stude nts ' ability to deal with so me of the problems and professional concerns," said Petrie. In UB's small teacher training program, th e FES dean poi nted ou t. students train as teachers, while thoroughly immersing themselves in a traditi o nal liberal arts di scipline. He explained that student s must maj or in th e humanities: sciences. or social sciences with teacher education servi ng as a minor only. There a re now 40 undergraduate and 20 graduate stud ent s enrolled in th e UB teacher education program. (Graduate students hold the baccalaureate in a traditional academic subject . but have not yet received any teacher training.) The•UB program (which leads to New York State certification) requi res only 24 hours in education and is taken during a two-semester period which includes student teaching. The teacher education minor co nstitutes less than one-fifth of a student's total baccalaureate degree program. In thi s way. Petrie indica ted, st udents don't become education course dro nes, as has happened at so me of th e lesser sc hools described by Neu-.nveek. Even so. Petrie makes no apology for responsible education courses. noting that. here again. a distinction must be made between the good and the bad . H'C elaboraied: "Our co urses a re intended to acQuaint students with the latest in educational research. The professors teaching the cour es are specialists in such areas as educational psychology. and many arc active con tributors to the leading journals of their field s. "Moreover. the courses in education that we offer continuall y reinforce th e relationship between theory and..p ractice. In thi s way. students learn that the theory is not meaningless and the practice is not uninformed." he noted . For example. added Dr. Rod ney Doran. director of teacher education at UB and a fellow of the Science Teachers Associa tion of New York State. in the required field work. students must spend fi ve hours a week in area classrooms, meeting with teachers, student s. and guidance counselors, in addition to th e student teaching they do at a later time. "They are doing more than observing since they are given specific tasks to do, .. Doran said. ''For instahcc. they might be . asked to observe an individual's learni ng style. perhaps illustrating a topic they are studying in a class in educational psychology. They would probably then have to write a report on what they have observed vis-a-vis their readings'. and prepare for classroom discussion on the same." ~ A" other example: "the science teaching methods cou rse is taught by a person who has taught science and has the degree in science education." said Doran. who was named " Out stand ing Science 'reacher" in 1980 by the Association of Teactiers of Science. The combined 1983 Scholastic Apti- tude Test {SAT) score of college-bou nd high school seniors intending to major in January 31 , 1985 Y'!lume ~ 6, .Nos .-1S.1 6 education, Newsweek reported , is only 812 compared with 987 for intended engineering majors and 893 for all senio rs taking the test that year'. But at UB. Petrie said , a number of reasonably good st udents - a few of them very good - have been applying for the teacher education minor program in recent years. The combined SAT score for studen ts entering UB as fres hmen in 1979 - who four years later graduated with th e teacher education minor - was actually sligh tl y higher (1068) than the combined sco re for all freshmen students who entered UB in 1979( 1048).the FES dean added. Un like some of the teacher education programs under attack. UB's teache r education program has respectable admissions requirements and presumes a reasonable level of intellectual rigor on the part of its st udents. Teacher education admission requirements here include a minimum of 2. 7 ove rall grade point average. and a minimum of 2.7 in the academic major. In addition. FES also administers a mandatory writing exam for all applicants (beyond the general ed ucati on one administered earlier by the University). and a con ten t exam for prospective math teachers. Also. all applicants must ha,·e three personal interviews with an admissions committee comprised of FES faculty and local school officials. The interview. said Associate FES Dean Leroy Callahan. "he lps us to determine if the applicant has th e potential for and interest in teaching and. of course, to see if he o r she has a semblance of working well with people ... Once admitted , the academic program of each student is reviewed at the conclusio n of each semester. Students must maintain a B average in teacher ed courses in order to continue in the program, the FES officials said . n the national scene. FES has been active in trying to effec t beiter teacher preparation ·gene{ally. Petrie now serves on a national committee which is examining the role of the liberal art s in teacher preparation. The committee is spo nsored by th e Association of Schools and Colleges of Education in State Uni· versities and Land-Grant Colleges and Affiliated Private Universities. Quite a mouthful. but an important body, comprised of about 100 schools including several outstanding private universities having programs in teacher education. They include Columbia. Stanford. and Syracuse universities. The same commi ttee is assisting in efforts to re-design the accredi tati on procedures of the National Co uncil for Accredita ti on of Teacher Education. the national accreditation body for teacher education programs. Also. B has been mentioned as a po.:,sible new member of t he so-called "H olmes gro up.'' a collection of 20 education deans who take their name from the late dean of the Harvard education school. Henry W. Holmes. This group. too. i!!l in vestiga ting new ways of improving teacher training. In addition. Petrie is a member of S Y Chancclfor Clifton R. Wharton Jr .'~ Task Force on Teacher Education. The group last year asked SUNY units to submi t proposals designed to drastically improve cooperative programs between SUNY and local school district s and to upgrade teacher com petency in these districts. The task force chose 20 plans from 33 submilled . They range fro m a ment orf master teacher progra m at SUNY 1AI· bany. to a com puter training network for scbool systems (t hrough SUNY I Binghamton). to the organizing of education resource teams at UB. Last September, Chancellor Wharton asked the Board of Trustees to approve a total of$827 J75 in its 1985-86 budget request in order to supportthc 20 projects at 17 campuses. ~der the plan, participating campuses would pr'bvide a total of approximately $330.000 in support from their own budgets. The $48,875 in total funds requested fo rthe UB program W!'uld pay resource persons from both th e Universi ty and local schools in addition to funding o ther personnel and administrative costs. The 548,875 would 0 �JllnWiry 31' 1985 Volume 18, Hoi. 15-16 ~Ifl15 be supplemented by a UB in-kind contribution of $2,750. Petrie explained that UR, in formulating its own proposal, wished to help schools meet some of the requirements of the recently-Cnacted Regent's Action Plan. The plan, he explained, mandates that school districts g1ve mort: structure to what has hitherto been a somewhat haphazard approach to in-service education for teache.rs, and also improve foreign language education in elementary and secondary schools. "We thought we could make an especially significant contribution in these two areas ," he said. Discussing other issues in teacher training, Petrie, Doran, and Callahan said they endorse the Educational Testing Service's National Teacher Examination Core Battery Tests, now required in 18 states. In New York, they noted, entering teachers must now successfully complete the core battery tests before they can be provhionally certified. An achievement test in the teacher's field has also been proposed in New York State, and is likely to be in effect in the next two years, said Petrie. Butllie FES faculty members dismiss the uggestion that such competency tests .. predict the master teacher," in Doran's words. Simply put, they are loath to · object to a minimum test of a prospective teacher's competence. Said Petrie: .. 1 think such exams are a good idea. People ought. to have a minimum level of knowledge." Asked how teacher unions have greeted such plans in other states, Petrie said. new teac~ers have been generally receptive to the tests. But veteran teachers have vociferously objected to the use of the tests as a means of reliccnsure in states where this is required. It is · unlikely that competency tests for ve teran teachers will ever be required in New York State, however. "The unions are too strong, .. Petrie opined. In any case, the FES dean reported , the core battery exams test-: I) general knowledge. 2) communication skills, and 3) professional knowledge. The latter is 1he only knowledge 1hat relates 10 traditional education courses. In other words, Petrie said. whether students do well or poorly on the competency tCsts is largely a measure of their preparation in non-education, or academic, courses. Many plans have been advanced throughout the country to revivify teacher preparation . Some are illadvised, 10 the view of Petrie and his colleagues. For example, an open admissions plan at City University of New York ( ew York City needs 4,000 new teachers according to the Newsweek anicle) brought an as10undi ng 3,000. applications. Los Angeles had a similar experience with such an alternative proposal. In all, 32 states are considering similar measures. But the FES faculty members are skeptical. As Petrie put jt, "it's a long way from 3,000 inquiries 10 turning out (thai many) teachers." He explained that many good teachers may in fact emerge from these programs, but this would be largely a coincidental development in his view. s for 'desirable plans, Petrie and · his colleagues said they favor scholarships to attract talented newcomers to .the teaching profession. New York State now offers scholarships for math and science teacher training, they noted . "At UB, we'regetting a relative lot of people who are interested in math and science teaching," Callahan added. There are, said the associate dean, l300 institutions in the country that train teachers. Many are the size and character of UB, he said, basing his comments on a recent survey of 100 comparable schools, all having re(atively high standards. These include a.n appropriate number of required education courses and respectable admission requirements. Petrie noted that "it has been estimated that only one-fourth of all the teachers in the couqtry have attended the. wort~ier schools." He listed three poSSible solutions: enlarge small pr~a~s such A !) as UB's, 2) close down the diploma mills or otherwi se poor schools where graduation comes easy and standards are nil, 3) enact strict approval means for all existing teacher education programs. Petrie appears to favor the latter. On a more optimistic note, the FES faculty members contend that , based on their own surveys of school senior vocational preference. the all-round academic suitability of high school seniors favoring a teaching career. is comparable to that of high school seniors (aboUI 85 per cent) who say "no way to a teaching career, .. Callahan said . "They are just as qualified as the rest," he elaborated . "They are a 'bit idealistic perhaps. They don' talk of money but, rather of the enjoymenlthey expect to get from working with kid s... Added Petrie: "Their attitude is that they will go into teaching despiie the lousy pay." The appeal to ideali ~m.may be one way to an improved state-ofaffairs. Frances Bolin, a professor at Teachers College of Columbia Uniwersity, has stated that students training to be . teachers must "recognize thal most people will not understand their desire to teach ." At the same time, other factors , such as low teacher salaries and the realization that even• the best ' teacher education program cannot .. -.- -:.. ensure a lifetime commitment to the teaching profession. must be considered. Co mmenled Pet rie: "It's probably unrealistic to believe that we could ensure this 40-50-year (occupational} commitment from a four-year program. It doesn '1 apply elsewhere . . .. There definitely needs to be more and beuer inservice education for· teachers, however." FES will continue its soft sell teacher ed recruitment effort. "We're not interested In becoming a Buffalo State (State Unive rsily College at Buffalo has long had a large teacher training program). Rather. we beliCve that we can make our own contribution through a high quality program for a small number of liberal arts majors." -· Pe1rie added : "Eighly per cent of teachers in Western New York are trained locally. In fact , 25 per cent of Western New York teachers are teaching in the same district in which they attended, according to a recent s1udy by Dr. Callahan ... . Western New Yf>rk wil ~ not need excessive numbers of teachers in the near future ; nor does UB seek to train lalge numbers. That gives us the opportunity to choose the very best students who feel they have a calling and who also have the intellectuiol and personal skills to make a contribution to 0 the field." _ __ .Right topAssociate FES Dean Leroy Callahan; immediately above- Rodney Doran, . director of teacher education.

Surprisingly, given iLS size, SUNY is aJso the nation's youngest system of public higher education: the statewide system was ~ated in 1948. While there is much to be done, this Commissio n believes that in just 36 years New York a nd SUNY have accompli shed more than has any o ther state in a cornpar.tble time. Funher, this Commission belie,,es th at SUNY's positive impact upon New York Slate is already greater than New Yorkers gene rnlly recognize. We expect that SUNY will in the fu ture receive greater public recognition as perceptions in the state catch up to the reality o f SUNYs accomplishment In undergr.lduate education. SUNY has managed to aurdct an impressive number of the state's best students. For example: • The average combin ed SAT .scores for freshmen at SUl\'Y·Binghamton, 1.1 23. is nearly identical to the average at the' University of California at Berkeley, 1.1 24. • At the Alban y university center. the average combined SAT score of t.he e nte ri ilg class is 1,108. • Aver.1ge combin ed SAT .scores for enteri ng classes at fiVe additio nal SUNY campuses exceed 1,050. a score highe r than that achieved at a great many of New Yo rk's middle·size private colleges. The fi ve: SUNY's university centers at Buffalo and Sto ny Brook. th e Maritime College. and Lh e ans and scie nre colleges at Purchase and ~neseo. SUl\'Y a lso o perat.e s st au~wide remedial progr.1ms for educationally and economicall )' disadvantaged students: about 30.000 students an nually panicipatc i11 these programs. There is less breadth and depth of accompli shment in SUNY's graduate progrnms. The scale of SUNY's resea rch e nterprise is well behi nd that of other public universi ty systems. Since research capaci ty and grdduate progr.:Uns arc the most common ly used measures of uni\·ersity quality. educators generdlly do not )'CI cpnsider SUNY to be :.t "world class" univ.ersity. Nor is SUNY recognized as a national leader a mong the states' public universities. SUl\'Y has the potential to become one of the greatest of public un iversity systems. but in t~e judgment of thi s Comm issio n. SUNY iJ not ?I good m ough. We hase thi s co nclusion on : I) assessmelll of post·baccalaureate educatjo n and research at SUNY compared with that of le:1d· ing pub lic ut!i"crsity systems in other states: 2) th e fan th at SUNY has not yet become the equal of other leading public universities in auracting industry and enha ncing the tax base of its state: and 3) o ur judgment that the future wi ll demand even more from a ll institutio ns of higher education . More that~ e"er before in its history, the US. is becoming a "knowledge-based" society. Rapid change has become a constant feature o( social and personal deve l· opmenL The ability to learn, and to continue learning throughout life, has today become as imponant as the right to vote in defining citizenship and Lhe pursuit of happiness. In the words of sociologist Danie l Bell, the un iversity has become "the paramount institution" in "post·i ndustrial sociery." - The very well·being of the state - as measured by th e capacities of its f;itizens. the state's prospeas for car nomic growth. and the deve lopme nt of knowledge abow the environment and other state issues and needs depe nds upon th e well·being ofthe state's insti tutions of h igher ed ucation, in cluding SUNY. Given the stakes. it is the clear responsibility of the university's leaders. and the elected leaders of Ne'!'-' York state, to seek quality fo r SUNY commensurate wi th the university's great size and potential for service to the state.

Research Funding. In 1982, the most recent year for which comparative data aR' a\'ailable, federal ~arch and devdopment funding receil.•ed by all four of SUNY's university centers combined totalled $52.7.million, about 64 percent· of the amount recdved, say, by the much older University of Wisconsin at Madison. • No SUNY uni\·ersity center n ·ceived as much federal ~arch suppon as did 59 other public and private campuses. including. for example, Colorado State University, the Uni\·ersir:y of Utah, and OR'gon State University. • In 29 other states. theR' was at least one campus rttei~ng more federal research fundin g th an Stony Brook. SU1\1Y's top campus_. In recent years, dforu by SUNYs Research Fo undation to stimulate research funding for the university have produced encouraging results. Nati onally, Lhe grov.th of fede ral research fun ding has slowed to _roughly 4 percent annually since 1981, but SUNY has shown an a\·erage annual rate of increase in such aid of 8 percent during the last th ree )'ears. At!!!cting Students. Man )' lead ing publiC uni\'ersities attract large numbers of out..of-state stude nts. who pay higher IUition than residents. But New York st:uc loses more students to public in titutions in other states than it attracts from out of state. For example, the most recent!)· 3\>ai lable data show thai 21.000 new students from New York chose to attend public colleges outside th e state in 198 1. while New York public colleges that year am-acted only 4.500 new st udents from elsewh ere in the U.S. In comr.ast. New York's indepe nde nt colleges almost hold their own in border crossings: in 1981, 30,400 New Yorkers became new studentS at independent colleges outside the state, wh ile New Yo rk's independent colleges ~ auraeted 25,700 new students from e lsewhere in the U.S. Out..of-state auendance at all of New York's public colleges is onl y one-fourth the national average. The overall result is that, in any given year, New York is a net exporte r of some 64,000 students--;-a number equal to the total enrollment at I3 SUNY campuses. Minority EnroUmenL One special dime nsion is the need to increase the accessibility a nd utilization of SUNY by me mberS of mino rity groups. Minority enroll ment at SUNYs ..state..operated campuses is presentl y about 10 perce nL There is some controversy about the proper interpretation of this figure. When comparison is made with the state~ide population's minoriry percentage of 25 percent, SUNY's percentage appears woefull y inadequate. Wh en comparison is made with the 9.4 percent minority popul4ltion oulsU:U Nt:w Yor* City (the city is sen •ed primarily by CUNY campuses rnth er than by SUNY), SUNY's minority e nrollme nt appears to be more representative. The Commission believes that far more is at stake in improving minority utilization of SUNY than the numeric question of the represc ntativiry of SUNY's total minority e nroll ment Blacks and Hi spanics constilute the fastest gro~i n g segment of th e state's population. As the New York State Board of Regents has observed, members of minoriry groups presently enroll in higher education in proportion to their numbers in the state's high school graduating classes. But retentio n thro ugh graduatiOn is lower for min ority students. Lower too is the rdte of minoril enro llm ent in graduate and professio na l n. And further. at both graduate and edu undergraduate levels, minorities (and also women) are much less likely to selea scientific and technical courses of study. Strong efforts are required by SU1\1Y t.o reverse these tre nds. which presently amount to a loss in "hum3.n capital" for the society as a whole. Along with such efforts, SUNY must more inte nsely recru it minority students at the high school level in Ne ~· York City and throughout the state. a.s well as nationally. 1982 FEDERAL OBUGATIONS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO THE 100 UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES RECEIVING THE LARGEST AMOUNTS (DOLLARS IN MILUONS) RA NK 6 '8 ' " "" 10 II ll 16 17 18 " ",, 20 21 22 " 26 27 2B " " " " lO ll B l6 l7 ,,'' Jll Jl J' ~' ,, .""' ,."

This Commission believes that New York state has already suffered from its historic delay in beginning to build and maintain a statewide public university system. With regard to the future, the Commission offers a warning: New York state cannot a fford the future costs of fai ling to develop a toP.,rnnked public unive rsity system. Spe<:ificallyo • ew York state cannot afford 1.0 continue exporting So many srudents to schools and subsequent careers in other states. Instead. New York's public university should be a magnet for top students nationwide. • New York state can no longer ignore the attraction to industry of quality research and professional centers elsewhere in public highe r education. Instead. the facu lty and the research achievement of New York's public universities should be magnets for industries in many fie lds. • New York state cannot afford to assume that the high ski ll level of the state's labor force, long o ne ofthe state's ch ie f assets, is a resource that v.ill perpetuate itself. ln st.ead. New York must lead in consta ntly upgrading the skills of its citizens, as is required by the knowledge-based sociery in which we live. Tite record does not show a commitment by New York state to bui lding a leading publi c university system of high quality as a primary duty of government. No such dear commiunent is incl uded in the founding legislation. whi ch makes refere nce mere ly to th e creation of "a university." T his Commission has been unable to detect so basic a nd essential 'l. commitme nt in present pr.tctice or results. Instead, among some offi cials in adm inistrative agencies who exercise controls over SUNY's budget, personnel, purchasing, and auditing. we encountered the view that, for the purposes of these controls, SUNY is 'Just another agency." We detected considerable pride in SUNY an d gener.tl satisfaction with its perfonnance, but little understa nding of how unusual a re the constrnin ts under which SUNY operates, or of SUNY's potential for much greater quality and service to the state. lltese are critical issues for New York's future. not empty generalities. The impact of education is not limited tQ the srudents. As a number of sr.udies h ave shown, advancing levels of educatio n are a key cause of productivity increases throughout th e eco nom)' and a key contributor to the growth of national in come.

In September 1984, the Business Counci l of New York State, a pri\>ate association of business a nd chambers of commerce. released a study of e migration from t11e state. which found that the state was experiencing a "brain drain." As Walter Fa llon, chainn an of the Council's Public Policy Institute and a fonner chainnan of the E.asunan Kodak Company, said when the study was released: "llte state cannot go on losing its trained work • forct·. the life blood of its econo m)'. to the rest of the nation." More than one-quarter of New York's net population loss (650.000 people) between 1975 a nd 1980 consisted of adults aged 20 to 34, according 10 the study. More than 30 percent of those New York lost had auended college. _and more than o ne-sixth were in managerial or professional occupations. The states benefiting most from New York's losses were Florida. New Jersey. and Ca lifomia. An it'lstructivt· example. of altemative possibilities is provided by orth Carolina's "research triangle.'' a 6.300· acre industrial development area. which has auracted $1 ~5 bi ll ion o f capital irwesunent from nationall y rt.-cogni zcd corporntions a nd Lhe federa l govemment since it began in 1959. The Research Triangle Foundation. owned jointly by Duke Uni\·ersi t)', the niv~ity or onh Carolina. and Nbrt.h Caroli na State University, has created a partnership among business, state and local gO\•e mmenl, and both public and priv·.tte universities.

The community colleges cooperate closely with local govern ments and indusuy in providing vocational programs that arc attuned to local needs. Technical assistance centers provide guidance o n exporting and lending programs. SUNY courses are offered to employees on a contraa basis (173 companies and mo re tha n 5,000 e mployees panicipated in this program in 1983). There are 32 business development cente.rs that provide management consulting to small a nd stan-up compa nies. In addjtio n, the fesferal Small Busi ness Administration selected SUNY last year to develop a n upstate netwo rk small business developinent ce nters. TI1 ese e fforts are commendable initia l steps. Btu for SUNY to make the major and highly visible contribution to the state's economy thai it is capable of making will require selective and well-planned enhancemem of the university's academic quality. It " i ll require specific attention to graduate and postgraduate research programs. especially in the sciences and engi neering. but also in economics, business. the professions. a nd the broader array of graduate offerings. includi ng the humanities.

In the imerests of faimess. as well as in tht· econo tic interest of 'ew York and it.s people. it is un acceptable to view the public educational instiauion that serves :~ percent of New York's stude nt.s as a "supple rnemal" or "second best" system. As Mun-ar Finley. president of the Amalbr.mtatcd C.'1othing and Texti le Workers Union, observes: "SUl\l\' is probably tlu..· greatest door of oppol1lm ity for children of the members of Ill)' union-and for other children-in New York state."

To encourage broader understanding throughout New York state of SUNY's mission, the legislation under which SUNY operates Should ~ amended to include a description of SUNY's purpose comparable in nature a nd scope to the official mission swements provided for other leading public universities.

In the Com mi ssion's view. th e re is a clear choice before New Yo rk: the state C..'l n decide that New York is not going to get a public uni\'ersity of high quali ty. Or it can c han~e the rules.

At SUNY, even budgeted purchases must be individually approved - in ad\-ancc - by the state's comptroller a nd Office of Ccner.tl Services, a process tem1ed "pre-a udiL" (Traditi onal audits also take place in the state system: the)' are krlOYm as "post-audits.") The medical ce nter submined a ru·e-audit fonn indicating a cost of approximat~l)' $5.000 Cor operati ng on the kidne)' • donor. But an official in the state's Oepanment of Audit and Control 1·efust>d to autho rize the medical procedure. 1l1e reason : there had bee n no competiti,•e bidding to set a fair market price for the kidney that the Stale proposed to aa:tuil-e. Fonunately. a telephone ca ll to another o ffi cial cleared up this misunderstanding: nevenheless. the episode il lustrates the administrative minutia~' v.ith which SUJ\'Y must contend. Computers Come To Stony Brook New interest in computers led to high enrollm ent in the computer science de!panment at SUJ\tV·Stony Brook in the autumn of 198 1. Enro llrnc nt in the introductory course (a required prerequisi1e for more adva nced courses) was unusually strong. BUL, due to a sho11age of compmer u~ m1inals. man y students had t.o v.-ait in line for as long as rwo hours to complete their coursework: when the tem1 was O\'Cr, roughly half of the -100 st ud ents took in completes or fail ed. -Anxious to prt"vent a recurrence of that disaster in 1he follov.ing a utumn. the department sought. througho ut the winter. to purchase 30 additional compu-ter tenninals. In addition . an emergency schedule was devised thai included keeping t11e computer cemer open until 2 a .m. (later changed to 4 a.m.) and adding a summe r sessio n of the introdudory course. Unfon un a1ely. wh en the Pext school year began, the urgentl)'· needed tem1inals, whose deli"ery had seemed a reasonabl e expectation six months earlier. remained Lied up in the state's purchasing bureaucracy, where the)' were subject to rcvicv.• b)' the central admini st rmion of SUJ\'Y. then hy ""the Division of the Budget (DOB). and then hy the Office of Gcneldl Sel"iccs. TI1 e result: an even worse crisis in th e fall of 1982. During that tenn, two--third s of the students "'·ho signed up for the introductory compUier course either failed. withdrew, or requested incompletes. The te m1inals finall y arri\·cd- in the ~p ring of 19R~\. 4 For Wan t of a R oof. ..

A bid for roof repairs. tota ling $152,000. was appro\'Cd b)' the Division of the Bt;dget in 1976. But., by then. the neglected leaks had caused o ther damage. So in 19i9, the g)'nmasium floor was replaced- at a cost of $53,000. A year later. the ceiling in the auditoriu m and sv.imming pool areas was also replaced - at a cost o f $33.000. In sum , the initial failu re 10 approve roof replacement increased the tOt<d repair bill by SR6.000. SUJ\1\~s That spring. some campuses took no steps to fill vacancies in V""ctrious academic lie lds. in accordance with the hiring freeze. Others made tentative offers. Ob.sel"ring that a campus could not re-assign, say, a specialist in Victorian literature 10 teach electrical engineering, SUNY-CentTal sought to modify the fre eze, and finall y succeeded in July 198.'i- too late to prevent the disruption of summer school staffing. When the new tenn began in the fall , campuses t.hat had made info m1al commitmems to faculty and graduate assista ntS - · in tcchnic-.il violation of the freeze - fared much better than did those that had diligently complied. Cenain l)•. SU IY must accept its fair share of the burden in stalC li scal emergencies like those of 1983. But. in this case, as in the case of statewide tr.tvel bans. it would ha"e l>ecn far less disruptive had SUNY been given an overall finan cial goal to meet a nd then allowed to implement its own finan cia l plan in pursuit of the required fiscal t.arget. Self-help On The Campus Titroughout the U.S.. both public a nd p1ivate in stitutions of higher education have lately sOught to generate supplemcnt.al revenues by deve loping inno\'ative progrdrns, including non credit offerings for adults a nd new uses of the campus. ·n1is is in response to a nationwide cost and revenue squeeze that continues thro ughout highe r education. Elsewh ere in the U.S., vario us campuses are renting domlitories during the summer. selling timber, even co nducting classes in shopping cemers on weekends for working adu lts. Yet at SU state\\ride governmental poli cies actively, if un~""it t~gl)•, discourage such effons. Man y SUI\'Y campuses have o pponunit.ics to generate income from such activities as selling publications at campus ex hibitions, rental of re hearsal and conference spac;e to co mmunity groups, a nd, chieOy, offering noncredit and experime ntal courses to adults in the com muni!)'· Not lo ng ago, for exam pl e, SUNY·Purchase ge nerated $250,000 from such acti\ri tics. The cam pus inte nded to usc a ponion of this revenue to offer mo re pan -time eve ·ng courses sought by area residents in subjects such • s environmental scien ce. th e atu. ~111 d managemcm. Other ponions of 1his reve nue wot~cH>e used to CO\"e r more general ca mpus costs, such as the purchase of cafete ri a food. But in 1983. the Division of the Budget took the positi on, traditional!)' applied to revenues produced hy state agencies. that suc h r~venucs were surplus balances that sho uld l>e retumcd to the slate. They could no t be spc nr at the· di scr~ rio n of rhc c.unpu s. Under sra te policies. the revenues from ongoing campus progrdms. C\'en those th at appear to be self-supJ>Oning or e ntreprcnemial, must be included in the state"'ridc budgeting prOt·ess. TI1ey ca nnot simpl)• rem;1 in eannarkcd fo r the program or the ca mpus that produced them. C\"Cil though that is th e campus' goal. Given the lead times. u ncen ai nty, a nd rigidity of the statewide budgetary process, the upshot throughout SU s syste m has bee n discouragement of inn ovatio n. ine nia in respondin g to com munity interests, and a weakening of mora le a mo ng those who seek (like the ir counte q >a n s elsewhere in hi ghe r education) to help the ir ca mpus soi\"C its own fin a ncial problems. Going Places llmmghout academia, faculty members rely on profe~sional meetings to broaden their kn owledge and to recru•t facuhy members and grnduatc students. During 1982 and 198~. stri ct limits on expense reimbursemcms for OUl-of-state travel were imposed o n all sta te employees.

SUNY'S TRUSTEES: RFSPONSIBILITY NOT MATCHEDBYAUTHORnY By law, and in theory, the state legislature put the trustees in charge of SUNY. For examp l e~ the law gr.tnts them the power to "distribute, expend and administer for SUNY insti tutions such pro1>eny a nd funds as the Stat.e may appropriate there~or." Ime rpreting the law, judicial opinions, including a St:Ue Coun of Appeals ru ling in 1978, have confirmed that tl1 e tn.lstees are responsible. TI1e state lcb,-lslature. said the court, ''vested in tl1 c Board of Trustees of the State Uni\·ersity the same power to admi ni ster the da)'·to-day operations of the State University as trustees of private in stitutions of higher education had been granted." But in praaice the power of S NYs lrustees does not come dose to that of trustees a1 o t11e r universities. public or pri\'3te. It is a common assumption, for example, that in any given year. once the govem o r and the state legislature have dctem1ined th e extent of fundin g fo r SUNY. responsibility for the operation of t.h e universit)'. within its budget, falls to the university itself, under the trustees. In fact. that is not the case. The trustees may bear legal responsibility for SUNY's expenditure of appropriated sums, but, by the mselves. they lack power over how the fund s will be spent once they are appropriated. And if budgetary cutbacks arc required as tl1e yea r unfo lds. the lrustees lack power o ver how and where t11ese will l>e mildc as well. Similarly, because they arc considered pan of a state age ncy, the lrustces of SUJ\tV ilso lack ultimate power over creation of tlll i\'CI_'"Sit)' positions, salaries, educational programs, equipmem purchasing, fellowships. and even the size of their own staff. This situation is "'ri1hou1 parall el in the other 49 stmes. TI1e Commission was shocked to learn how little practical, day·by-day authority can be exercised by llw I>Oard of trustees. an appointive body thought b)' the public to possess authority that it lacks in faCL Va1ious pro\ision s of th e state Finance Law. the state Edut·atio n Law, and reguJ:ujons of the Di visi o n of the Budget, all crafted for im1xmam publi c purposes. nevenh eless product' a result that is at)pical and inappropriaae ''rithin public higher educati o n, name ly. preve nting the lrustccs from exercising final authority over the inst.itutjoil of which they arc lrustees. And. in a classic double-bind. none of these laws a nd procedures e mpower any o thc:r group besides the trustees to take the U1Jstees· place. TI1 e sys1em o ften fun ctio ns adequately on a day-to-day basis, t.hanks to valiant efforts h those iriside SUNY ar1d those througho UI state govemmem wh~ must cope "rith the present stnrau re. But at present. it often appears that no .one has the ultimate responsibili1y for SUNY. At present, for example, once mone}' has been appropriated by the legislature, SUNY. as a state agenq •. is not allowed to spe nd it - unless and until t.he university receives approval of its schedule of f>e rsoml d positions and salaries, and its planned expenditures for maintenance a nd other Of>erations, from the Division of the Budget Nor can SUNY spend money received in tuition receipts, lab fees, o r revenues from the sa le of tickets to campus theauicals unl ess and until the sa me kind of approval is received - in advance, for each particular category- from DOB. To shift a secretarial positjon a1 one campus, say, from the deanJs office to the admissio ns office, is beyond th e power of the campus president., the chancellor of the university, and the university's board of trustees - unless any o r all of thesc: officials have first received the approval of DOB, a process tha"t !ypically requires 30 days and numerous pieces of paper. Other regulations apply to a benumbing number of items: hiring above the minimum salary, addin~ staff, making promotions, printing course listings, plan mng for graduate fellowships, defining .geographic pay differentials, etc. W. Clarke Wescoe, chai nnan of Sterling Drug Inc. a nd former dtancellor of tl1c University of Kansas, offered the following reaction after leami ng of the detailed control exercised O\'er all aspec:ts of the managcnwnt of SUNY: "New York state runs its university like it run~ its prisons." h may be painful for New Yorkers to acknowledge it., but, "'rith only limited exceptions. thai statement is literall y true.

Recently, the campus at Stony Brook and SUl\"}~""s cemral admini stration began an cxtraordinal)' round of consultatio ns with the Oi\ision of the Budget TI1c aim of this trilateral consulmtio n was finding funds for rese;~rc h equipment that was needed to retain the services of o nt• Stony Brook facuh y member who was tempted by o ffers of access to modem equipment from three other in stiiUtions. In that negotiation, a shifl of funds was arranged. But at about the same Lim e, Sto ny Brook lost the chairman of•its depanmem of microb iology and three other faculty members. a lo n g Y.rith their research grants, experime nts, technician s, and. it is like ly. ma n )' o f their graduatt students and postdoctoral fell ows.

The predictable result is that SUNY is weake ned in the NY's competitio n for faculty ta le nt. 1n gen eral. all of unh•e rsiry centers are exposed to a n unusual!)' high ri sk of acade mic .. raids," beca use deans a nd camp us presidents have strict limits pl aced o n the ir negoti at ing fl exibility. It can take 10 or 15 yea rs to build a to p de panment; faculty .depanures can undo much of th e achie\•emcnt in a single year. It is not reason abl e, workable, o r in the interest of SUNY a nd Ne w Yo rk statC to require a trilateral negotiation througho ut a statewide system CVC I)' time a valued faculty member receives a competiti\'e o ffer.

RECOMMENDA'FIONS ON MANAGEMENT FLEXIBiliTY l. Legislation should be adopted to reslrUcturt: SUNY as a public benefit corporation . We are aWare that undertakings of this magnitude can easily be neglected by leaders under the pressures of day to day affairs. In the hope of reminding all concerned of the priority this Commissio·n attaches to the need for a fundamental cha,nge in's.UNY's structure, members of this Commission 9;1~ expressed their readi ness to reconvene as event.s warrant to review steps takeh toward the restructuring o f SUNY. 2 • ~ tests to be met by any new suucture d ~·el oped for SUNY, the Comm ission sets out below four criteria. which a re based on the concepts o f lump-sum budgeting. Lhe priority of educational goals in the ma nagement o f SUNY, local variatio n, a nd management decentralization. A.. The state share of oper.uing suppon for SUNY should be provided in a lump sum, by which is meant that the trust~ should have discretion as to ahe aJlocation of these funds, as well as the discretion to shift funds among budget categories. Upon the recommendation of the chancellor, SUNY's trustees should in tum provide lump-sum funding to the campuses. by which it is meant that each campus should retJUn th<o ability 10 shift funds within a levd of total funding and to expend those funds in accordanc~ with the policies of the trustees. B. The concepl of the lump sum should apply "" well 10 any budget cud>acks that may be required from time to time by shortfalls in state revenues. That is, in the case of such ahortCO:lls, the trusl~s should have discretion to apponion any re.::w.-.<1 cutbacks among budget catqories and among campuses. and, within the D'liStces• apportionment, each campus should have diSC~"etion as to which areas to reduce. C. In accordance with policies established by the trust~es. campuses shall have the ability to generareo their own supplemental revenues and to gen~rate periodic "surpluses" that can be spent on e nnchmem and other operations. so thai rt'ductions in suppbn are not W inevitable. and deadening. consequence of succnsful innovation.

In gene ral, it sho uld be recogn ized that the education , research, and public service provided b); SUNY does not ti\ke place from me top down, but from the bouom up. These acti"ities take place in Lhe individual classroom. in the lab.. and in Lhe community, due to individual effons by faculty members. students, and citizens. Significant benefits often result from viewing the syste m as a whole. and sound manage me nt of scarce public resources requires that resources and needs be balanced throughout the system: Nevertheless, what justifies the entire ap~1ftt41 of SUNY is what happens in ind.i\.idual classrooms, , labs. libraries. and communities. Where choices 1 · must be made. the maximum possible deference should be paid, in ascending order of im_portance,J " to the indi\'idual campus, the single acadeqtic depanmeo~ tho individual faculty 01ember, and, whe re appropriaie.~ the indivi'duai' studenL The ' primary reason this Coaunission has called for the creation of a new SblJcture under the SUNY t.mstees, a nd greater Oex.ibility for the administrators of SUNY, is that we ~li eve that only . by this means will there be continued improveme nt in S~s teaching, research, and community sci'VI.ce. SUNY'S CONFIGURATION: THE UNPLANNED SYSTEM I . r - Dmtald M. Blinltm, ~ SUNY's booni af ,._ t~s ~thin t he; di;enity of campus SUNY·is unique, reflecti ng hi sto rical circumstances more than deliberate, consistent institutional plan ni ng. It is rare to include in the same adrninistrati"e structure cornmunit)' colleges, f~u r-yea r colle,ges, uni\'ers.ity centers, and health scie nces centers. Also un usual is New York's reliance upon fi"e specialized a nd di stinguished "statuiOry" colleges �9 contraaed to i~dependent u ni\·ersities (at Corne ll, colleges of Agnculture a nd Life Science. Veterinary Medici ne, and Huma n Ecology, and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations; at Alfred, Ce-ramics). Alth?u~h su~ began as a dive rse amalgam, the Commassaon beheves that the exiSlencc of the system represents poweliul advantages for New York and SUNY At least potentially, the system provides an opponuniry · for Sl)NY to mo nitor a nd real locate resources based on a statewide assessme nt of needs and strengths in the public sector. l~t provides a much-needed opponunity for SUNY to exerosc educational leadership, to integrate, to balance, and t? make distinctions as required We rejea any effon to dzsmamle SUNY, and we wish to affinn the potential for SUNY, as a system, to play a vital leadership role. SHOULD CAMPUSFS BE CLOSED? Since at least the mid-1970s, as planners have predictc.od striking ~nro llm em declin es, the re ha\'e been persistent concerns over whether SUNY is "overbuih" or has "excess capacity." The college at Purchase, for example. has classrooms and laboratories for 6,000 st udenLS, but enrolls only about half that number. Simi larly. the university's rural residemial campuses han· fo und it harder to meet enrollment Largets than the urban and suburban campuses, which h3\'C a-~any commuting and older students. Several faas suggest that the main issue is less o ne of total r.apacily than an issue of distrilmtion of faci lities. For example: • New York state is a net expon er of college stude nts, as noted earlie r. Were SUNY to reco\'er just one-half of the present net loss of New York students to other states' public uni\'ersities, the number of additio nal students could offset even extre mely pessimistic forecasts of futu re declin e at th e state-operated campuses. • So far, at least, the prediaed e nrollment declin es have been reassuringly small and well within SUNY's capacity to hahdle. In pan. this is due to increasing panicipation by o lder adults a nd part-ti me stude nts. as wel l as an increase in college anendance .among women. • Some individual campuses have see n application s decl ine, bin, for the system as a who le, aggregate demand remains ncar its historic high poinL • While the pool of New York high sc11ool graduates wi ll continue to shrink through the 1980s. demograph y indicates that du ring the; 1990s. the f>OOI of high school gradu a~cs will ag-..tin begin to grow. lim ited. gai n_s could result from closing a small number of SUNY's smaller and less efficient unitsassuming that SUNY could retain and redirect the financia l resources t.o strengthen the rest But a1 present le\'els of e nro llme nt. the Commissi011 considers closing o ne o r more SUl\fY ca mpuses to be a solution whose rosts--;in reduced smdent access, as we ll as in political divisiveness- OUiweigh the benefits !hat could be reali zed. Moreover. to implemem such a solution with v.isdom in Lhe fut ure, New York state will require a decision-making mechanism that gives greater weight to SUNY's Statev.ride needs and agenda tha n is prcsent.ly pro\rided. Nevcnh eless. and entirely apan from the demograph y of the corning decade, the Commission is comrinced that New York state has paid a h igh price for its e xcessive dispersal of small SUNY n mpuses throughout th e state, which creates disecono mi es of sca le. l11e dispersio n imo many sma ll ullits has made SUNY costly tc operJ te in the paSL, and it will make SUl\TY costly to openue in the future. Reconsideration of the issue of campus closi ngs will be appropriate in the future. At present. we believe that the priority need is to impro\'C the q uality, and the e ffi cie nq . of what happe ns wit hin th e buildinbrs. rather than to reduce their number. COMMuNITY COLLEGFS At SUNY. community colleges..a re part of the same statewide system that includes senior campuses. a situatio n unique to New York. State fund s presently average about one-t.hird of the community college budgets; a similar amount is paid by local sponsors, which an: typically county govemme nlS, a nd me balance is provided by student tuition . Responsibility for o ngo ing college management rests prim arily with local boards. under broad SUNY poli c i ~s. More than o nce in rece nt years it has been suggested that it would be "tidier" to reorganize the community colleges as a separate system. Yet. the Commission found t.hat comm unity college admini strators, facu lty, and studen ts all are strongly in favor of remaining under the SUNY umbrella. Both un iversity policy and state law have give n great flexibility to the community colleges. The ~a lleges see a num ~>rr of key advantages in the present struaure, including: 1) bener coordinatio n ofindi\idual cam pu s interests: 2) sharing of resources. facilities. and information \\rit.h SUNY senior campuses; and 3) SUN\r s guarantee that gr.tduates of community college academic programs ca n transfe r (with appropriate credit) to fouryea r SUNY ca mpuses. Most of the community co ll ege students see k vocational, two-rear degrees, but roughly 14 perce nt of the graduates tra nsfer to SUNY fo ur·yea r institutions (and more than :tooo others annuall )' transfer to SUNY senior institmio ns before recei\ing an associate degree). The Commi ssio n bel ie\'es that ties between SU 1Y and the community coll eges shou ld be stre ngthe ned. At prese nt. for example, agreements for the tr.m sfer of community coll ege students to S NY se ni o r ra mpusc:·s a rc negOLiated on a campus-by-ca mpus basis. rather than mo re broadly. The statewide system provides additio na l opportunities for SUNY's academ ic and administrati\'C leaders hi p. a sourc(· of potential benefit to the community colleges in addition to SUl\"Jrs more passi \'e role as the co nduit of state funds. Some loca l community colleges report persiste nt problem s in securin g loca l sponsor finan cial support. In some cases. an appropriate solution ma )' be rtgional commun ity colleges. with spo nsors dmwn from two or more local areas, and with a stre ngtht•ned role fo r a regional board of trustees. ln addition , study should be made of the possibi lity of state-sponsored commUnity colleges in areas with unusually small Lax bases; such colleges would receive an increased proponion of state finan cial suppon. coupled \\ith an ii1creased number of trustees i.tpJ>Ointed by the govemor.

The Commission makes this recommendation because we believe that it is in the interests of the state as a whole for SUNY to maintain a statewide pe.rspecti\·e and comprehensive ~nSlbiJiry for the stat~ 's efforts in public higher education. 2. As e nrollment!, required facilities. and resources change in the future, the mix of SUNY's programs will demand continuing scrutiny. SUNY's board of trustees should have the dear responsibility for achieving ·c ooperation amo ng programs at different campuses and integration of programs as required. 3. The central administration should review campus protedures for the justificatkm of all classes with low enrollments. Such justifications should also ~ revi~ periOdically by appropriate campO! deans in consultation with vice presidents for academic affia.in. 4. To assist the board of trustees' ongoing review of SUNY's con6gur.ation, top-level, professional studies should be made to propose plans for a) more efficient use of existing resourtts; b) downsizing of programs or amp~ whe n: n~ry and eflkienr; and c) ~ng additional practical ways for much greater sharing of specialized facilities among SUNY campuses, incl uding, for example, joinl3ppointments.joint registration, multicampus program sponsorship, and shon ..(et111 exchanges of faculty mem~rs. 5. Where IOC3l suppon or local facilities arr inadequate, SUNY should take the lead in e ncouraging consolidation of oommuni1y colleges imo regional community co lleges. 6. The possibility of state-sponsored community colleges as an approadl for uae in areas with e~mely limited _tax bases should receive continued study. 7. SUNY should worlc. with Slate government. community college tnlStee:s, and representatives of local campus sponson to clarify the differences in responsibility among community college governing boards, county governments, and the colleges· executive and fap1lcy leadership.

This Commission does not believe that the solution to the \'Cry reaJ concerns of ·Cornell lies in creation of yet another state mechanism for dealing with the statutory colleges. Rathe r, the solution lies in an adequate response to the needs of public higher education throughout the 5UJ\rv system. The statutory colleges at Cornell, operated by an indepe ndent institution, are examples that lend added weight to the repeated requests made in recent years by SUNY's board of trustees for additio nal modernization of facilities, recovery of deferred funds for plant mai nte nance, and program en han cement at SUNY's • state-<)perated campuses: • Faculty workloads merit con cern . Bec:\o\·een 1974 and 1983, enrollmem at SUNY"s state-supported campuses grew by 2,800 students (measurro by a full-time equivalen t average).

In the years since 1974, state tax suppon for SUNY has not kept pace with inflation. By 1983-84, th e Higher Education Price index, prepared by Research Associates of Washington , had more than doubled. Yet tax suppon for SUt\'Y's state-operated :lnd statutory campuses had ri se n on l)' 60 percent, and some of those funds were not available to offset inflation since ·they were eannarked for n ew programs. ~ The most reliable state-by-state com parisons of the finan cing of higher ed ucation are published ann uall)' by Kent Ha lstead o f the National In stitute of Education.• Ha lstead's data provide a mixed picture of New York's present level of funding for current operati ons of public higher education. TIH~ average New York taxpayer pa)'S less fo r public higher ed ucation th a n do taxpayers in rough I)• ha lf of the states. In 1983-84, New York's state and local funding-for public higher education a\'er.Jged $ 11 6 per citizen.u a figure that places 1cw York below Texas. California. and Wisconsin (and New Mexico. Mi ssissippi, and Kansas). among Olher states. New York would place C\'en lower if the above ranking were adjusted for cost-of-living differences among states. Yet , New York's rate of e nroll mem in the publi c sector {students prr capita) is about 18 percent below the national nonn. \Vh en scudenc load is taken into account, it is clear that New York spends substantially more than • a\'erage ptT studn'il on public higher education.

Significamly. a comparison of SU 1Y with the respected institutions in the American Association of Universities (AAU) shows that the workload at SUNY's university centers is a great deal higher than the 3\'erage workload in the AAU.

SUNY'S REHABILITATIONIREPAIRPROGRAM 1974-75 THROUGlf 1984-85 (NEED VS. APPROPRIATIONS) Millions 97.8 $100 - r- - - 90 It ---!! NEED APPRC PRIAT D I 80 I 7 f8 Debt Service In compari son with other states, New York's state and local appropriatio ns are not as high as they appear. Th e reason is that SUNY has less tuition reven ue available to cover educational operating costs than does a ny other state system in lhe US. SUNY does collect greater-thana\'erage tuition re\'e nues; net tuition at SUNY's stateoperated campuses averaged $1 ,175 per Sludent in 198384. u But most of these reven ues are used, as required by law, to repay co nstruction debts incurred in the construction of SUNY's academ ic buildings. According to the National Center fo r Education Statistics, New York slate owes 22 percent of the tola.l indebtedness in the nation incurred for the construction of public university buildin~. Curre ntly, the debt sen~ce SUNY must pay averages $1.050 per stude m at SUNY's state-operated campuses. That leaves SUNY only $125 in net tuition revenue per student to cover current operati ng costs-a n a mount lower than th at available in Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia, and every other state S)'Ste m in the U.S. At SUNY. the tuition revenue avai lable for operations is S923 be l o ~o~.• the nationa l average. Including debt sen •icc on academic constmction, the total state and local tax appropriation for public higher education is above th e national average for opemtions that Hal stead computes by $1,324. But at SUNY. much of the incremem-$923 per studem-merel)' offsets the fact that there are atypica l prior claims on tuition receipts. Vinually no other state pays for the constmction of academ ic buildings out of uni\'ersity-gcnerated revenues as d~ New York.*** Scattering the Sites Another unusual cost fact.o r at SUl\1)' is the multitude of small campuses built throughout tl1e state, primaril)• in response to popular and political pressures. Small campuses ha\'e some inherent educational advantages, but they are financially less efficient on a per-student basis. This Commission's review of enrollments in ten large state systems indicates that, in comparable states. the a\'erage enrollment per campus is 9,094; at SUNY's state-operated campuses, the average is 4.710, or just 52 percent of the average for other large states. TI1is helps to explain why SUNY's operational expenditurrs per student are considerably above national averages for public education (al though ~low those of the independent seaor in New York). Both the debt service and SUNY's multitude of small campuses are continuing costs of decisions made by the state as SUNY de\'eloped. While wr recognize the impact of these unusual costs on public education in New York, this Com mission believes it is poor policy to deb it toda)•'s research and educational aaivities to pay for New York's historic delay in creati ng SUNY, and to pay for dispersing SUNY in to many small units. These Y.'Cre decisions of the state as a whole. Therefore, this Comm ission believes that these costs should be home by the stat.e as a whole, not by the present and futu re generations of students and scholars. The path to the future is not traversed merely by paying past debts. Today. th e priority need is upgrading the research and educational programs that take place within SliNY's buildings. These e fforu a re the reason that the high debt senice a nd tl1c dispersed campus stmcture were created in the fi rst place. / 70 6 9· . r--.!.\9-' 60 50 I 40 21 1.9 30 20 84, New York's slate and local appropriations per stude nt for public educationaJ operations, including CUNY, were the sixth highest in the nation, $4,764 per full-time stude nt This is $914 more than the national average. Academic construction costs at SUNY increase New York's tola.lto $5, 164 per student One question that naturally occurred to this Commission is Why is SUNY so obviously in need of additional suppon when New York's per-srudent appropriation is so much gre:ater than the national average?

This cost is at)'l>ical, and the Commission judges it to be substantial j ohn Whitehead, senior panner at Goldman, Sachs & Co .. makes the point as follows: 'The ki nd of restraints that exist now lead to wasteful expendiwres a nd tenible inefficiencies. If these are e liminated, it wi ll save money as well as improve the education" that SUNY provides. Fonunately, the enrollment decl ines anticipated in the next ten years mean that it will be possible to enhance SUNY without the pain of adding a ful l dollar ol appropriations above today's level for each dollar spent on enhanceme nt As long as appropriations do not decline in lockstep with enrollment. SUNY and New York state will have ·a much-needed opponunity to spend more fJt'r studenl without dollar-for-dollar increases in toLal funding levels. academic and support. faci lities, and 5.55 million for residential facilities), enhancement of research, recruitment of o utstanding faculty members, recruitment of outstanding students both in state and out of st.ate, reduction of faruhy workJoads, and en hancement of educational programs. 2. Nationally. the average percentage of state and· l~al tax reven ues devoted to public higher education opera- tions was 10.2 perce nt in 1 ~3-84 . In New York, it was 6.-7 percent. Although use of any single benchmark can be misleading, New York state should seek. as a goal. to equal or exceed the national average in the percentage of state and local tax revenues provided to public higher education for current operations. with appropriate adjustments. The adjusunents we suggest are the fo llowing: a) a reduaion to account for New York's lower than average pan.icipatio n per capita in public highe r edlU:ation ; b) an increase to reflea SUf\'Ys youth and need 10 catc.h up; and c) an inci-ease to reflect the increased costs SUNY ENROLLMENT 6. A "cap" on co nsu-uction debt currently limits SUNY's indebtedness to $3 billion. Outstanding debt now totals $2.2 billion, down from a high of $2.6 bill ion. Sho uld the current prdctice of funding capital investment continue, language defining the "'cap" should be amended to limit SUNYs "outstanding" obligations, rather than its "issued" obligations: the point is to allow SUNY to incur new debt as old debt is retired, up to the limit of the "cap." 7. Projections sho uld be made of funds to be freed over time as academic construction debts are retired. In t11e future. suppo11 levels for SUNY shou ld be defi ned explic. id)' 10 allow such "freed" amounts, or funds that fonne rl )' went to retire <~ C<~dcmic constructio n debts, to be used as additional , supplcmc rual suppon fo r SUNY operations. in excess of preS<' Ill funding le\'cls. 8.

NPR's news staff covers the globe-erage of world events is prov ided by rs a ~mall world - these words are a cliche for most people, but for news organizat io ns , they represent a mandate that is both costly and complicated . For National Pub· lie Radio and its member stations throughout the country, covering news from around the world can be · even more awesome due to restricted budgets and limited personnel. But they have devised a successful and effective system to bring the highest quality coverage from London . Moscow. w Delhi, Johannesburg. or any oth.er point on the globe , into America's homes. offices, and cars. Central to NPA 's foreign news coverage is a team of journalists. headed by Foreign De'sk Editor Paul Allen . wh ich mon itors events around the world from Washington , D.C.. headquarters. Allen. along with Associate Producer Cadi Simon and Assistant Producer Peg Shea (currently filling in tor Simon who is on maternity leave), coord inates all reports about developments abroad tor NPR's two awardwin ni ng newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. For the U.S. view. they call upon their Washington - based colleagues. Diplomatic Correspondent B ill Buzenberg and State Department reporter Katharine Ferguson. For overseas coverage , Allen and Simon are in constant touch with Neal Conan. chief of NPR 's London Bureau. which is headquartered in the British Broadcasting Corporation's External Services facilities. In addition to rece ivi ng Conan 's reports about the United Kingdom and events in Europe, NPR maintains a contractual relationship with the BBC wh tch provides information services . technical support and rebroadcast rights for BBC reports. Much of NPR 's on-the-spot cov- agroup of "stringers," professional I free-lance reporters, in most strategic areas overseas. " We have every im portant part of the world covered by our stringers e,.cept for India and the U.S.S.R.. and we are working on that," says Allen . He adds that NPR plans to send Conan and Producer Deborah Amos to the U.S.S.R. soon to prepare reports on the 40th anniversary of the Yalta Conference. the historic event attended by Winston Churchill , Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin. who decided the post-war fate of Europe. The spe- cial segments will air the week of February 4 on All Things Considered and Morning Edlllon. Allen hopes that this visit will lead to a greater NPR presence there so ..we can help public radio listeners better understand Russia. " Our system for covering foreign news has matured considerably in the past two or three years." says Allen . " We are very fortunate to have a talented group of fu ll-time reporters and free- lancers who love and understand radio . and are able to use the medium to capture the immediacy and flavor of world events."

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

"The Early Ass urance Program allows student s that freed~m of choice. To be eligible for the program, students must have a 3.5 average and mu st have been students at UB from the beginning of their college educations.

Possibly there will be so me type of research program fort he stud ents in their junior o r senior years. Another advantage of Early Assura e is that st udents can skip the Medical College Aptitude Test or MCAT, a day-long test for which man y may prepare for months. Besides removin g the strain of compe tit io n , it also relieves some expense, Craig points out. Many stud ents take an expensive course to prepare for the test. "The burden of the strain of competition is removed by early assurance." said : j o transfers are accepted. Ajlplicants must have completed half of the courses normally required to apply to medical school. (The normal rcquiremenb are a year each of genera l chemistry, organic Chemistry. physics. biology and English.) Once accepted in to the program, students are expected to maintain a high quaJity record , but no specific standards have been set, Guttuso said: .. They're usually sterling candidates to begin with, •• he said . .. We expect them to do very well. They d on't have to kill themselves to get A's, but most will contin ue to get them. It 's a tough group. " .. Instead of taking away the incentive for getttg good grades, there's an added feature, said Craig, a biology major_··1 Combine that with application fees to different medical schools. and just trying t9 get in can get expensive. he said . Even with all of the advantages of the program. however, making a commitment to medical school is a big decision for a 20-ycar-old. How can one be su re he made the right choice? '"You can never be sure, '" Craig said. '"But eve rybody has to make ca reer decisions.·· It's not a decision he made lightl y. '" Being a doctor is not a job, it's your life. "he said . .. It's a very big commitment , but it's what I want to do. I can see it being very hard, but very satisfying. .. Instead of the doubts increasing, the strength of my deci ion -has grown.

C T Informed consent, human subjects are topics of F·D A panel By CONN I E OSWA LD STO F KO he process of obtaining conse nt · and protecting human subjects in scie ntific experiments was discussed at a recent symposium sponsored by the Food and Drug Adm inistration in cooperation with UB. Dr. Will iam T o pper, clinical assistant professor in pediatrics at UB and neonatologi 1 at Child ren's Hospital of Buffalo. discussed conse nt of child ren. He taned off wi th the premise that . research involving children is important and necessar). Ph ysiologically, children are not small ad ult s and infa nt are not small children. he said . Risks must be weighed against possi ble benefits. Non-therapeutic research . that which doesn't provide a direct benefi t to the patient. can be both legal and ethical. Topper .aid . "But if there are no benefits, there ought to be no risks." he pointed out. Non-therapeutic research that is painful or harmful would require a very mature informed consent that a child couldn't give. The parent gives permission for th e child's participation in resea rch , while a chi ld provides assent. Topper said th at the FDA and Federal Department of Human and Health Services e ncourage all resea rchers to get such as en t from children over six. Psychologically. a cliild is not able to give full informed consent until the age of 14, he said. The legal age of consen t in New York State is 18, although you nger people who are called "emancipated minors·· by the couns may give legal consent. If there 's any doubt on that count. the parent is brought in for ~ermission, Topper ex p lained. Dissent from a child under 14 is significan t because it's ex tre mely rare, he said . Parents can override a child's assent, but it's immoral to override a dissent, he said. T eta! research has made progress for F babies and fetuses, Topper said, and o ne type of controversial research shouldn ~ taint three other classes of fetal research. The firs t type is research where the mot'her and fetus are treated together with proper conse nt from th e mot her. and the be n efit!<~ outweigh the ri sks. The second is researc h that directly benefits the fetus, .such as fetal surgery. The third is resea rch on a dead fetus or abortus. Laws already cove r that category, he said. But a fo urth co ntroversial class of research is th at o n a pre-viable fetus where terminati o n of th e pregnancy is inevitable or planned and harm may come to the fetus from the research , he said. Since co ntroversy over abortion still rages. this question is q ite controversial. The questi on of co n nt here is that the mo ther is the o nl y o c to give co nse nt. Yet she has a Iread decided to a bort, so she isn't ac ting on behalf of the fetu s, Topper said. "The point is. this shoufdn't affect th e othe r kinds of resea rch," Topper said. ··only one portion of fetal research is controversial. .. r. J erom e Schentag. associate profes~or of pharmaceu tics at UB. discussed several aspects of th e critical care patient. ··The cri tical care patien t is often elderly and as helpless as the neonatal patient ." he said . Informed co nse nt in research has several bonuses, but there are problems, he said . Informed co nse nt decreases the risk for litiga tio n, opens communication. introduces the patient to the clinical research process, and teaches the patient about his disease and options for trea tment. But in the elderly, comp rehension is difficult to assess and th e abili ty to retain information is questionable. he said. These patients are serio usly ill a nd frightened. They've al ready filled out several co nsent forms . Wh ile the forms protect those doing the research, they scare the patient , Schentag contends. There's a Sll<-pagc co nse nt form just to get o ne of two marketed drugs in .a double-blind stud y. That form is longer and more overwhelming than a standard consent form for surgery, he said . Dr. Dale H. Cowan disagreed. He's the hema.tology-oncoiQgy d irector of Marymount Hos pital and prQ[essor of epidemiology at Case Western Reserve Uni- vcrsity in Cleveland . While he once thought that the long co nsent forms co uld frighten patients, there's no dat a th at they d o, Cowa n said . The majorit y of patients appreciate them and the fQrms d o aid the patient a nd family. But iss ued a caveat: "Consent fo rms do not informed consent make," he said. The consent form is j ust a tool, Cowan said . He suggested that resea rchers try to anticipate problems and work with the family as well as the su bject when o btaining conse nt. He also uggcsted that the ph ysicia n who is conducting th e research be the one "Consent forms do not informed consent rnake... ." D to write the consen t form because he has the information and is potentially the best perso n to explain it to the nonphysician. A lawyer's version often proves unintelligble, he said. D r. Frances Kelsey, a n FDA official whose effbrts helped prevent the drug thal1dom1de from becoming·available in the U.S. , disc ussed th e most common problems of co nsent forms used in st ud ies of new drugs. T he firs t problem is whom· to contact .for answers about the research the subject's rights. and any injury ' that might be related to the research. " We feel it impon ant that the subject knows that. he has rights a nd that he is prov1ded With a contact sho uld he wish to h.ave more information on what these · nght s are ... Kelsey s_aid . A ph~ n~umber and address, along with one or more persons' names, sho uld be given. T-he seco nd most commo n problem b inadequate desc ription of th e research procedures, she said . An example would be failure to include certain lab orator~ tests tha t are required, even if they're standard procedures. Some co nsent forms assure the subjects that their names will not be released without permission, but sometimes th C' FDA need s the information when rcvie"ing the stud y, Kelsey said . Th is \\Oul d includ e cases where the integrit y of the repon is doubted or where followup " needed because of an adverse side effect "You sho uld be aware th at investigators, in signing a n agreement to und ertake investigational new dru g studies. dl' sign a statemen t th at th ey will permit their records to be reviewed by the Fot'ld and Drug Administration. The statcml' nt points o ut that there may be occa~ion.., when the names of the subject mmt bt· iden tified," she told her audience. More freq uentl y now, she noted. conse nt forms inform th e subject that th~ drug company spo nso ring the research may a lso review the! subj ect's records . . The pay ment to the subject. if any. 1' someti mes om itted from the consent form. Kelsey said it's important that the pay.ment not be coercive. There shouldn't be a bonus a tthc cnd oft he tudv and the payment shou ldn't be con tingent on rema ining in the stud y until jt I"' completed. It IS not unusual to have a consent form that indicates th at the FDA or an institu· tiona) review board has approved a stud y, Kelsey said. Such statements ma ~ be misleading. The FDA does not usual!~ approve individual drug stud1es: II onl ~ gives permission for a new drug .to be shipped for clinical stud ies, she satd . Moderators at the symposiUm "ere Dr. J ohn L. S.

That is, the state of the art will continue to advance. but. as he sees it , there is a limi ting fac tor - human input. Thus. he views "artificial int elligence" as a "tool': th at enables computers to "think " like·h uma n beings in performi ng s pecific t asks for which the y arc programmed.

Toxic paint is anot~er thing to watch oul for. · The Toy Manufact urers of America. a large national organ.i zation. and most European manufacturers are safety conscious. but be wary of other foreign companies. she warned. -Toys can have sha rp edges or can splinter. That's more likely to happen with cheap toys. Morrison said. ''If it breaks, what's inside?" she asked - another imponant consideration. For electronic toys. it 's good to look for the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label, Morrison suggested . toys should be sim ple enough that they d on' frustra te a child . Goldberg said. Avoid toys that a child d oesn' have eno ugh motor dexterity to handle. Steer clear of those with many small pieces 1hat have to be assembled befo re they work, he said. A child wi ll lose inte rest in a toy that ·must involve an adu lt. " I always tell adu lts to read t he di rections," Morrison said. For instance, she found a toy mac hine gun that required adult supervision and wasn't recommended for children ol•er three. Generally. the simpler th e toy is. the beuer. Morrison agreed. Children need things they can control. They live in a world in which they have so liule control. Controlling things is how they develop their egos and feelings of self-worth. she said. A wind-up to y or one that rUns on a banery is working all by itself: the child doesn't control it. she pointed out. It limits creativity and imagination.

"'That's what's goi ng to sustain interest." Barbie do lls are too structured in his view. The fashion model-type dolls are nice, but you can't pretend they're grand mas. Toys should be versatile. Morrison agreed. .. Get dolls that can be boys or girls." she said. "They don't have to talk or walk because the chi ld can do th at for them. "'Make sure dolls arc washable so the child can take them into the tub or give the baby a bath. Fancy wigsthal can't get wet limit things. "Manufacturer~ appeal to adults because they're the ones that purchase toys. But if the toy just sits on the shelf a nd is looked at , yo u're depriving the child ." To get their money's worth. people sho uld buy qualit y toys. Goldberg and Morrison suggest. • "Toys arc not cheap." Morrison said. "You should look at th is as an investment." To avoid impulse buying. decide how much you want to spend before entering a store. she advised . Both instructors suggested that people buy a few good •oys, rather than several cheaper ones that become junk in a few months. " lflhe wheel comes off a car. it has lost its play value.'' Morrison said . ''What's more important than investing in you r child ·s growth?" she asked. ''Play is children's work and toys arc their tools." If things are of good quality. they can be used by other children in the family, too , she noted. Some can be used by children for a number of years. ...Infant toys are used for a shorter period . but the y grow faster. "she pointed ou t. "'The teachable moment gets by faster." Buyi ng toys that aren't durable causes all sorts. of co mpl ications. The child knows he's supposed to take care of his toys. Morriso n said . When one breaks, he may feel guilty an~ worry about bei ng punished, even if it is n't his fa \VI. If the child gets upset about a broken toy, parent s may try to reassure him by sayi ng. "That's aka)". we 'll bu y you another." That sends a message about our throw-away culture, she said . not her standard to look at when choosing , a plaything, the two agreed. is the age of the child. One has t o look at not only the "birthday age •.• but also the intellectual. physical. and emoti o nal age. . For instance, even a three-year-old .. genius is not going to be able to ride a bike without t raining wheels. Goldberg pointed out. And a very bright child might be able to handle the concept of t he strategy game "Battleship"', but t he tiny pegs involved may frustrate him if his motor skills are poor. Emotional age will de termine thi ngs like attention ,s pan and staying power needed for ganlcs. Go ldberg said. Ages indicated on toy packages can be helpful. but they're not the last word. "They're good guidelines, bu t every kid is different." be said . .. Not every siK-year- \ old is able to learn to read. ot every five-year-o ld can ride a bike without tra ining wheels." · A child older than three may still be mouthing things. so his parents should watch out for toys with small parts. Morrison added. .. Blocks arc marvelous... she said . ..They span a number of ages . ., They don~t even have to have the alphabet painted on them. "If you're bu ilding with the blocks. who cares?" she said. ''There arc more efficien t ways to teach the ABCs. Let blocks be blocks . ., The toy should also be a ppropriate for the child 's size, she added. Main tenance is another consideration. Morrison said .

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.

Kohle r is a UB research professo r of · microbiology ond di rector of Ros well Park Memorial Insti tute's Department of Molecular Immunology. Up until now, the traditi onal meth od of making vaccines had ce rtain requirements that limited their application. First, the traditional vaccine meth od requires using the disease o rganism itself and a lso req uires t he isolation, purificatio n, and ex tractio n of the di sease organism or its 'antigen. .. It is ofte n difficult t o make effecti ve vacci nes through t he normal process which always starts from the material tha t comes from the act ual ant igen, for example, the flu virus, "Kohler.ex plai ns. "The difficulty is due to a question of technology. Viruses, for example, require very specificcond_itions, such as live cells. It is also a quest io n of price. Purifying a vi ru s beco mes very expe nsive and impractical for mass productio n." · The new vaccine process, like the convent ional process1--enables one to prod uce the vaccine relatively inexpensively and in la'rge quan tities fo r mass- production. Kohler noinLS out that .. the new vac- application will be for infant diseases . .. Most vacci nes d on't work in young infants beca use their immune systems arc . too immature to work effectively," Kohler remarks. The success of the new vaccine met hod was pass able because of Dr. Kohler's co mbining of Dr. Jernc's theory with the ·•high techn ology" of the monoclonal a ntibodies process. Dr. Niels Jcrn e developed his ··immun e network theory" in 1974. '" It represe nts the most elaborate and logical cxpJa nation thus far for the imcractivc proce~se~ by which the body's im mune sys tem rises to the occasion when needed to com bat disease. a nd then falls back int o inacti vit y when it is not needed," stated a . Y. Times article that announced the abe l Prize selection in October. The Nobel Pri1..e winner's theory is that th e foreign substances are the target for mounting an effective imm une defense. According to the theory. images of these antigens exist wi'thin the immune ~ystcm . These images Dr. J ernc calls idiotypcs and they re present internal an t igens. The new idi otype vacci ne method uses th is ~et of internal antigens in~tcad of the actlYd.l disease-associated antigens. "'This wi ll enable us to avoid the risk factors or required purificat io n of conven tional vaccines," Dr. Kohler remarh. " The_ concept of idiotypcs offers opponunities for exploitation," he states. "If t he st ructures _of the a ntige_ns are pre• See Vaccine. oaae 2 �December 6, 1984 Volume 16, No. 13 Vaccine From page 1 existing within the body's immune ne-twork, the logical next step would be to find out if it is possible to utilize these pre-existing structures to createJtew vaccines to use where conventional vaccines are not available or effective. That is what I set out to do." ow is it possible tO develop a vaccine H for a disease in whic)J the structure of the antigen - or even the disease's cause - are unknown? "We scientists may not know these answers," Kohler responded with a gentle smile, ''but the body's immune system knows! "It is like a police department with trained bloodhounds. They locate what the policemen can't," he elaborated .... Our immune system has the capacity to 'sniff out' the"' antigens, recognize them and, like a dog barking, show us, the scientists, how to make the idiotype vaccines. All we have to do then is to isolate the idiotype antibody specific for the undefined or unknown antigens . ., The monoclonal antibodies procedure is what enables laboratories to mass produce idiotype vaccines. This state-of-theart method uses laboratory cultures to literally clone cells that have been specially selected to produce the specific desired antibodies. With the help · of laboratory mice, the antibodies are produced in mass quantities for vacctnes. One of only five central monoclonal centers in the nation has just been established at UB for the purpose of mass producing antibodies. In Kohler's experiment, the antigen used was a vi rulent strain of streptococcus pneumonia. The result was a vaccine that proved effective against that bacteria in mice. Why did Dr. Kohler cltoose this organism when an effective vaccine for it already exists for hUmans? ..This was our first attempt to produce a vaccine applying the concept of Dr. Jeme~s network theory. So we chose an organism which is a well known model and whose immune defense is well known," Kohler explains. Referring to his successful application of the theory, Kohler elaborated, " If you can do it once, you can do it again. T~e ,. same technology for known bactena antigens will work for any antigens. Only some details have to be worked out.., One major.area where Dr. Kohler feels this - or any - vaccine method wtll not be practical is for common cold v1ruse~. ••Even if a vaccine is developed today, 1t may no longer be effective tomorrow. Cold viruses too easily mutate and become resistan t to vaccines,., Kohler comments. Dr. Kohler received his medical training from the University of Vienna and also the University of Munich, where he earned his M.D. in 1965. From 1965 to 1970, he bel~ research positions at the Max Planck Institute in Munich and Indiana University . He conducted research with Dr. Niels Jerne at the Basel Institute for Immunology in 1974 and 1975. He was professor of pathology and biochemistry at the University of Chicago, where he spent 12 years. In 1981 , he joined R<Niwell Park and UB in his present positions . Ni·agara University appointed him research professor in their Roswell Park Division in 1982. Honored in 1978 by the U.S . Public Health Service with their Research Career Development Award, he was elected president of the Chicago Associa- tion of Immunologists for 1978-79. He has served in editorial positions for two immunology journals aild is currently principal editor of International Reviews of Immunology. Besides positions on panels and committees for NIH and the American Cancer Society, he is a member of various professional organizations. He has authored I 00 publications. ohler is excited about the direction his future research. KThefor new approach applies especially we11 to antigens associated with cancer where immune therapy has up to now: failed . The approach applies to all cancers, not just those which are associated with viruses. The immune system can be trained to respond to the abnormal antigenic structures of the malignant ells. ··our ne~ step is to develop an experimental cancer vacci ne for mice and then . .. fo r humans,., Dr. Kohler conclud es. Ot1servers will h~ve to wait a year o r so to learn if he can ind eed produce a mouse vaccine for a specific type of cancer.

" "U ndergrad college possible for 1986" · By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO four-year undergraduate college, which would provide a more coherent way to nurture undergraduates, may be implemented iQ the fall of 19~6, said James H. B~Jnn , vice provost for undergraduate education. All undergraduates, with the possible exception of engineering students, would be admitted t~ the undergraduate college. Then they would go on to the professional sc hools or other majors, Bunn · said. Majors in the arts and sciences would receive a degree from th·e new und ergraduate college. The vice provost for undergraduate education would probably head the college, Bunn indicated . The Administrative Council on Arts and Sciences (ADCAS) would administer the college. · ADCAS includes the three arts and A ig e lasses is another com plaint. "The iss ue is not so much the size B of the class, but th e caliber of the instruc- sciences deans: arts and leuers, social sciences, and natural scie nces. Bunrtsaid. Its purpose is to promote better correla. tibn of undergraduate education. ADCAS would administer the college because the Arts and Sciences deans are those who really have the responsibility for the service co ursesJhat stud ent s take in their first two years, he said. Those a re co urses taught to studen ts who areft:.t majors in that area, as a service to the University, Bunn explained. These are courses such as Engli sh composition. sociology, math and chemistry. In the past, DUE has handled many of the respon ibili ties th at the undergraduate college will have, but there were problems with structure, Bunn pointed out. "DU E was just a bunch of ad visors and a dean's office,"-hc said. "It was an autonomous unit that reported directly to the president - it wasn't in line responsibility with chairs, department heads. etc. It was just kind of out there. "It provided an illusory notion that undergraduate education was the responsibility of DUE, but it never was. It was always the responsibili ty of the faculty members.'' The new college would solve that problem because it would fit into th e line order of the provost a! system. Bunn said. Another problem was DUE's power. '' In the past, DUE didn't have sufficient authority to implement what it might have wanted,'' Bunn said. But the undergraduate college would have "teeth"because it would be administered by the three ADCAS deans, he said. Institutions •can change, and change fast, Bunn assens. He said he hopes that this new college will be something more than a relabeling of an old instit ut ion. " What I like about ADCAS is that nobod y knows what it means.'' he said. ••Jf you ha,~e very traditional names like •college of arts and sciences,' you have a very tr3ditional power structure. "A new power stru cture lets you do different thmgs - it really does. " I'm skeptical about organizational change per se. It 's possible to use it to avoid academic questi ons. But I don't want to do that." The details oft he proposed college will be worked out by the Undergraduate Council Bunn said. The 20-member council 'is made up of a representative from every sc hool and faculty, including the health sciences. he indicated. That council will work primarily with ADCAS, he said . They will also work with the deans. the Faculty Senate, th e Faculty Senate Executive Committee, the Faculty Senate Planning Committee, and other constit uencies. Bunn said he hopes to have something exte~e in writi~g by the e~d f the spring semester, wnh a formal proposal tion," Dunn said . .. There will always be large classes. "But a very different kind of ins tru ctio n needs to take place." For instance. teaching aids have to be i mpeccable ~ an instructor ca n't scribble on a blackboard. he said . It 's also very important to have good labs and recita·tion section s. These issues arc being studied by ADCAS and the Undergradua te Council. Bunn said.

He noted that DUE didn't do a bad job of advi ement, but there were problems with DUE being st uck "out there by itself.

A task group looked at that question a couple of years ago and decided that it would be too difficult to fmplement a college of arts and scie nces because admissions and records , advi se ment and stu.dent affairs were all under separate vice presidents then , he explained.

D By JILL-MARI E ANOIA S �December 6, 198• Volume 16, No.1: U.S. vs Nicaragua: is law the answer? By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS ill lawyers be able to resolve, through the World Court, the escalating U.S.-Nicaragua dispute before it erupts into armed conflict? That was the question Professor Virginia Leary put to a group of second- and third-year law students during a recent session of her Law School course on international law. The timeliness of the question is demonstrated almost . daily in news reports describing the latest round of accusations issued by either the Sandinista ic3raguan government or Reagan administration.officials. Even after ini tial U.S. charges that Nicaragua was accepting Soviet advanced MiG fighter-· bombers proved unfounded, Reagan continued to warn in news reports that .. we are not going to sit quietly by and accept that... Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes told reporters that Reagan believes that the Soviet Union is supporting an effort to enable· Nicaragua to "intimidate" her neighbors into "settling for less .. in Contadora regional peace negotiations, an Associated Press report said last. week. Nicaragua, meanwhile, continues• to charge that the U.S. is whipping up "official hysteria" against it in preparation for a planned military invasion to overthrow the Sandinista government. In April, Nicaragua petitioned the World Court to indicate"provisional measures of interim protection," charging that the U.S. was using military force against Nicaragua and intervening in its internal affairs, "in violation of Nicaragua's sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence, and of the most fundamental and universally accepted principles of international law." After rejecting U.S. objections on jurisdictional grounds (the U.S. contended that Nicaragua had never formally consented to the Court 's jurisdiction), the Court ruled that icaragua's righ t to sovereign ty and political independence should not be jeopardi7.ed by military or paramilitary activity and that the U.S. should cease restricting access to and from that co unt ry's ports, specifically through the mining of harbors which had been done. This provisio nal measure was presented to protect Nicaraguan interests until the Court could rend er .a final judgment on all aspects of Nicaragua's petition. The U.S. continued to object that the Court did not have jurisdiction in the dispute on two grounds: first, the o riginal contention that icaragua had never formally accepted the Co urt 's jurisdiction; the second was based on a legal maneuver. On April 6, three days before Nicaragua instituted proceedings, the U.S. declared it. woutd not accept the Court's jurisdiction in any disputes related to Central America for a period of two years. This change, which was declared ..effective immediately," violated the U.S.'original agreement in 1946 accepting the_ Court's jurisdiction, in W which it stated that six months' nqtice would be given for any change in the ratification. Last week, on Nov. 26, the World Court voted 15-1, with the U.S. member dissenting, that it did have jurisdiction to hear Nicaragua's case. It also rejected ""animously a U.S. contention that it should not hear the case even if it did have jurisdiction; this was based on the U.S. claim that the Court is precluded by the United Nations from dealing with cases involving armep conflict. The Court "Is there any value in having the World Court hear the case?" arg ued that the case does not involve an "''ngoing war of armed conflict but is "a situation demanding the peaceful settlement of disputes. n cary, a respected lawyer who has investigated human rights violations L in Sri Lanka and the Philippines for the International Commission of Jurists, reviewed the history of the World Court and recent U.S.-Nicaragua tensions in her Law School lecture. "Lawyers generally have two attitudes about the World Court," she .remarked. Many consider it "a joke," a court which accepts only a few cases and has no real enforcement powers beyond voluntary compliance by nations that accept its jurisdiction, and many do not. Others have a " naive" perception that the World Court is a sort of glorified appeals court which will accept any case with international aspects, including those involving individuals or corporations. Since it was established in 1945 as the principal jud· ial organ of the United Nations, the nternational Court of Justice, as it · ormally known , has handled 48 contested cases involving such matters as the use and boundaries of the 'co ntinental shelf, th e validity of South Africa's co ntinued occupation of Namibia, and Iran's seizure of the U.S . embassy in Teheran. It has never, however, decill.eGa case involving open hostilities or guerrilla warfare. The 15 members of the court represent countries in Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as the U.S. Forty-seven states have accepted the World Court's compulsory jurisdiction. In 1946, Harry Truman committed the U.S. to accept jurisdiction, except in ''disputes with regard to matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction ofthe(U.S.) as determined by the Quinlivan named All-American . erry Quinlivan, UB's senior linebacker, has been named to the 1984 Kodak All-America College Football Team by the American Football Coaches Association. He is one of only 24 players selected to the Kodak Division II Team, representing the best in the nation from NCAA Division Ill and A I A Division II colleges and universities. Wiucnberg Col- G lege Coach Dave Maurer chaired the selection committee for the division. Quinlivan was a four-year starter and two-season t~am captain for the Bulls. A 6-foo t-2, 220-pound outside linebacker, he made 64 tackles during the 1984 ·season, recovered three op ponent fumbles . intercepted two passes, had two quarterback sacks, and blocked a field goal attcll)pt. D (U.S.)." This qualification, Leary noted , dem. onstrated the U.S.' reluctance to submit unconditionally to the rulings of the Court; it survived several attempts in the Senate to have it del eted from the acceptance agreement. The recent attempt by the U.S. to qualify its acceptance of the Court's jurisdiction to exclude affairs regarding Central America was condemned by the American Society of International Law, of which Leary is a member. At its last meeting, she' said , members voted to "deplore" the action and strongly favored its recisio n .... It was the first time that such a controversial resolution had been voted in 40 years by the society, "she remarked. Ironicall y, Leary told the group of students , it is a yo ung American lawyer who is head ing Nicaragua's legal team in its petition to the World Court. Paul Reichler, a Harvard Law School graduate, was quoted in the New York Times after last week's ruling as saying he hoped it would help convince Congress to reJect Reagan Administration proposals for resuming aid to the "Contr<\5," CIAbacked rebels who are see king to overthrow the Sandinista government. " Is the World Court the right forum to decide this case?" Leary asked her class. " Ifit is a purely political question, is there any value in bringing it before the Court?" One st udent pointed out the difficulty of.putting specific events, like the mining of Nicaraguan ha[bors o r invading of embassies, into a historical context that would put th em in perspective. When Leary asked if political eve nts could be ruled upon under a standard judicial proced ure, another st ud en t pointed out that ot her situations with long and complicated histories, such as marital di s• putes, are settled in the courts. "If wt don't strengthen the courts, we have to go to the other solution, which is war," she commented . hat are Nicaragua's advantages in bringing her case before the World Court? "It had quite a substantial shock v.aluc within the U.S.," Leary noted. "The min· ing of the harbors was going on, and then all of a sudden, the case was brought before the Court. It created a tremendous problem for the government. .. Whil~ Leary, witb the general co ncurrence of her students, does not feel that the basic issues dividing the U.S. and Nica ragua will be solved by th e Court. there is a val ue in bringing such issues before it. .. The international system is so fra· gile," she remarked. " The shock value of bi-inging such cases has tremendous impact. It means the U.S. is exposed to international criticism in a legal forum where it does not have a veto ... Leary is not hopeful that U.S.Nicaraguan differences will be settled peacefully, however. " I didn't think the U.S. would inter· vene militarily until recently," she said. ..But members of the Administration have been upping their remarks about (Soviet arms) going into the country. which would justify their going in. I still th\nk the U.S. will try to defeat the Nicaraguan government by economic and other (peaceful) methods, but U.S. officials have painted themselves into a corner. By saying the cOntinued existence of the Sandinista governme th is a threat . then they have to go in. " Essentially, howeve r, Leary ath iscd that addressing these issues in a peaceful .world forum is important. 0 W Books • CAMPUS BESTSELLER LIST Week of December 3rd _____..

Every international group was participating in the Culturama," Thomas said. "The program was so long that we couldn't start it later. It ended at I a.m. anyway." She added that it is easier for most groups to have an eve nt on Friday and that it is unfortunate that this creates problems for the Israelis. not her charge made in the repdrt is that the OAS and PSA have brought to campus a number of anti- l s~ael speakers. According to the report, the speakers have included Stokely Carmichael (also known as Kwame Toure), leader of the All Afi\ican Peoples Rev olutionary Party, a~d MichaeJ.1lar-Am, who claims to be a former Israeli soldier. Carmichael was not brought to cam~u s by OA or PSA , Sardouk countered. He said that Bar-Am is indeed a former Israeli soldier and he came to speak on ··how Lebanon and Palestine have suffe red due to the Israeli invasion." Sardouk added that "if he was accusing Israel, it wasn't our- fault." Thomas added that SA won't pay for political speakers. '" lnt ernation:..~ l clubs were formed to show th eir cultures." she said. An area of friction between Israeli and Arab students was a program on Lebanon held last year when man y American troops were stationed there. The Palestinians were asked to join in. but wouldn"t sit at the same table as an Israeli. Fernandez said. An Arab Muslim stud ent got up at th e event and asked why th o/.e was no representation. mak ing it look as if they weren't invited. she said . Sardouk said tha t they had planned to participate, the n found out that an ISraeli diplomat would be th ere. He "'id th e doctrines of the Palestinian people will not allow any Palestinian to recognize the authority of any Israeli diplomat. so they i:ouldn~ officially attend. He did go to the meeting, th ough, and said no one asked abou t the representation of Arabs. Another complaint centers around the Brazilian students' carnival. which other international groups were asked to cospo nsor, as is customary. But. Fernandez says, when the Arabs found o ut that they and the Israelis were listed together in publicity information, they threatened to write a Jetter to the Spe('trllm saying the Israelis weren't really sponsors.

Both groups deny national AIPAC report " ontrary to a report published by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (A IP AC), leaders of both Israeli and Arab student sroups at U B contend that there is no sohdly organized campaign here to discredit Israel. While tensions d o see m to exist between the two groups or students, current disputes appear li mited to relatively minor offenses such as tearing down posters. The Washington-based AIPAC published The A I PAC College Guide: Exposing the Anti-Israel Campaign on Campus. It was written by Jonathan S. Kessler and Jeff Schwaher. Research was done from the summer of 1983 to April, 1984. Informatio n was gathered from surveys. Hillel organit ations, and faculty and student contacts on each or the campuses listed in the guide. The report states that at UB, "a solidly organized cambaign to discredit Israel has gone relaiively unchallenged . The Organizatio11 of Arab Students (OAS) and the newly established Palestin~ Student Association (J?SA) work together at SUNY-Buffalo. and both are highly active in anti-Israel programming. •• abbi Paul Golomb, director of Buffalo Hillel, a foundation for general Jewish exp ression on camp us, suggested that the report he taken with a grain of salt. Before the report was published, he received a copy to review. " I wrote back (pointing out) where the thrust was somewhat inaccurate," he said. "They took into account some of my comments and not others ... The report makes it sound as th ough Arab students have had a major impact' on campus thrOugh their programs, while Israeli students have been relatively weak, Golomb said, but that's not the case. This is basically a non-political campus, he noted. The Arabs haven't had a pronounced effect so pro-Israeli response hasn\ needed to he high, he explained. When th e study was done, the sit uation in Lebanon was intense and the report reflects that, he added. But things have quieted down si nce then and the report is a bit out of date, Golomb.said. Ma'r y Brown, Student Activities assista~t director, called the report .. misleading and not accurate. "She said sh~ is not aware of any such campaign to discredit Israel. ••J would hate to see any division created," she said. R "Tensions do seem to exist, but current disputes appear to be limited to minor things such as pulling down posters." . . "When we saw the arttcle (on the AIPAC guide published in the Boston Globe and elsewhere), we were astonished," said Samir Sardouk, president of OAS . "We represent the cultures ·of23 different Arab countries - we don\ have time for politics. " "We arc a cultural group like the OAS . we don't have any antagonism with th...e Israeli groups on campus." said Ayman Radi , vice presi,dcnt oft he Palestinia n Student Association. "All that we have done this se mester is sponsor two speakers, one who presented the Islamic perspective of the PLO . . . Docs that sound anti-Israel to you?'' According to the AI PAC report , "Several other Third World and far-lefJ campus organizations have occasionally par-· ticipated in anti-Israel programming at SUNY-Buffalo, including the Iranian Student Association, the Turkish Student Association, the Middle Eastern Women's Organization, and the Union of Anti-Imperialistic Students." The Anti-Imperialist organization is not a Student Association-recognized group and none of the persons interviewed were familiar with it. Bro wn pointed out that the Middle East Women's Organization wasn't active last year or this semester, but is not a radical group. She said the latter was true for the Iranian Student Association. The Turkish Student Association was not available for comment. Pointing to support the Israelis receive from other international groups, Rabbi Golomb said that there is no coalition of Arab and Third World groups against the Israelis here. Sharon Thomas, director of st udent. organizations for SA, added that there has been no evidence of antagonism during International Student Affairs Council meetings. .. 1 don't think there's a ny plotting goi ng on," she said. ""If there were, it would be apparent at the council. ... Overt anti-Israel activity has died down, agreed Sandi Rossen , president of the Israel Information Center. ~ "But at the same time, I think they do little things to exclude us from certain events," she said, giving the eiamJ?Ie of the recent Culturama. The lsraeh students asked that the event start an hour later so. it wouldn'- interfere with the ir Sabbath, but were voted down by the representatives of the other international student groups. "We're not supposed to he political," said Karen Fernandez, president of the Israeli Student Organization. "But it's hard for people to separate politics from their feehngs. I think the issue of politics got involved in it." There are 20 or 25 international groups sponsored by the Student AS5ociation and it's often hard to the meet the needs of all of these groups at once, Thomas and it's often hard to meet the ~eeds of all or these grou~ at ohcc, Thomas said. nothcr offense ci ted in the AI PAC report ce nte rs on a PSA poster which announced Palestine Day o n November 2, 1982. The report stat es th at the poster had "a graphic or a woman nailed to a cross, her robe in the shape of the S tate of Israel with 'Palestine' written across the front of it." Sardouk admi ts that the poster, whi..:h still·hangs in the PSA ofr.cc. is a representation of the Middle East regi on. but pointed to a comment on the lower left corne r which states th e intent of the graph'ic: .. This picture represents the suffcrmg of the Palestinian people, no rel igio us offense is meant." Problems also stem from the fact that posters arc often torn down. To announce a recent Israeli cultural fair, Rossen said she spent hours putting up fliers from Clemens to Talbert. Hou rs later they were all down, while other groups' posters remained. Sardouk and Radi both maintain that this was not the work of their groups. ··somet i m~ we have posters put up and within a half hour they disappear," Radi said . "It doesn\ just happen to the Israelis and I have no idea who's doing it. We are not involved . ., Fernandez said she would like to work out any differences her group and the Arabs may have: "I'm all for sitting down and talk ing," she said. 0 A �December 6, 1984 Volume 16, No. 13 - 61 ~IT wings, beef on week, or Niagara Falls on the other," Stevens protests.

Even the origin of the name Buffalo is steeped in folklore , he relays. While so me residents believe that the cit y was named for the American bis.on or that the name developed from the mispronounced "Beau Ffeuve." a sesquicentennial volume published by the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society sates that its name like ly came from a half- breest-lndian named Buffaloe who made his perma nent home on the ba nks of a creek.

Generally, folklore is regarded as "the collecting of qu aint customs, beliefs, and artifacts from rural and out-of-the-way areas of the world,'' Stevens observed , areas "'whose residents are more or less bound by tradition and steeped in superstition.

The committee stud ied the topic because of complaints by teachers that they have d ifficulty finding a parking space, mak ing them late for class, and that they often have to carry teaching materials from their cars. The re port was rece ntly presented by Dr- R.J . Good of Engineering to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. The repo rt reco mmended that facult y and staff who have to travel frequently between campuses he given priority parking and that a lot, such as the 130-space Hamilton lot near Engtneenng West, be set aside for them.

Good as ked that the administrati o n set up a system for how people can apply fo r the lot and · how their merits would be . evaluated. Doty in turn asked that the Faculty Senate set up some so rt of committee to decide who wou ld be allowed to park there. Other recom mend ations of th e report a re: • On-street parking should be allowed in a number of low-use areas such as the street leading to Slee Hall, except when eve nts are scheduled there. Perhaps I00 spaces co uld be made available, the repo rt says. . • Enfo rceme nt of a ny parking regulations will be essential. • A fee-<:harging, privately controlled parking lot should he built on Parcel B, south of the bookstore lot.

Close management and control of the registration figures, moreover, will help shape academic policy here for the next decade. The reaso n, according to Dr. Lawrence Kojaku, assistant vice president for University Services, is that current University staffing patterns are based o n an FrE workload of 19,300 students in the · general academic campus. Under the State's budgctjng princtplcs, either that enrollment target will be met or resources may be cut. To simply sit back and ro ll with the punches of demographic trends as proJected by the Office of Institutional Studies would be to watch workload FrE dwindle to 15,3 17 by 1990 with a resulta nt Joss in budgetarily justifiable core FrE facultyofalmost200(from the present 997.22 to 796.93). President Steven B. Sample in his latest .State of the University message called for greater faculty and institu tional emphasis on arts and sciences recruitment at both the graduate and undergraduate levels - for a better selling job. But that is not the panacea for the totalf. problem : other steps have to be taken, Kojaku , who is cha rged with enrollment . management, has indicated. II is the considered judgment of the relevant University officers. he reports, that the 19.300 core campus workload figure can no longer be guaranteed by the existing or projected freshman pool. While the number of high school graduates nationwide is projected to decline 15 per cent between 1982 and 1995 , the numbers in New York will decline by 29 per cent. Within the State, the New York City met- E ropolitan area can expect a decline of27 per: cent, while th e WNY area, traditionally the so urce of almost half of UB's · freshmen, will decrease by\110 per cent. Freshman enrollment in New York fouryear ins tit utions as a per cent of high school graduates would have to increase 15 per cen t by 1995to maintain the 1982 freshman enrollment. . ow present stud ent workload levels can be adjusted to compensate for the freshman sho rtfall is a question requiring considerable discussions. Kojaku suggests. Some of that discussion is underway involving the president, th e provost and the vice president for University Services. DecisiOns could result in a shift in goals and targets amon:zvari us University divisions, among o er alternatives. Before closure is reached on s longrange questions, howeve r, Kojaku notes, one fertile area for increased recruitment_ activity is obvious: community college transfers. Several factors suggest that this is a promising .. market": • State Universi ty maintains o ne of the largest two-year college systems in the Jlation - a sys tem which has recently experienced spiraling enrollment, leveling off at 177,469 this fall after five years of record growth. • It is the policy of the SU Y system - one often ignored in the days of the educational sellers' market - that these community college grads should be encouraged , indeed, that they have a ·•right" to co ntinue their work at senior SUNY insti tut ions. • And it is at the upper division that UB workload statistics have been relati vely below par.

Culminating !he campaign will be th e firs t ever campus-wide Co mmunity College Day, sc heduled for May 3, 1985. Early indications arc that this will be a slightly altered version of the campus-wide open house for prospective freshmen. The major difference, according to Acting DUE Dean Walter Kunz, is. that advisors will be available to do '.!on th e spot'' assessments of a prospective transfer's academic work. here's an imp ressively large pool of two-~ear college grads o"ut there, Kojak u notes - students already well along in the educational pipeline. Take Erie Community College, for example. In the Fall of 1983. 566 students.from ECC transferred to other SU Y units, but only 193 of them came to UB; 312 continued their studies at Buffalo State. Many also enrolled at non-SU Y institutions . iagara Community College which sen t 244 students on to SU Y units sent o nl )l65 here. Thirty-two transferred here from Nassau Comm unity College, 3 1 from Monroe, and 26 from Jamestown, rounding ou t lhe two-year college '"Top 5. •· The largest con tingent • · from any of the Ag and Tech units was from Alfred, 18. The UB yield on this front is no,t ove rly T impressive, caused in part by Lhe fact that the emphasis has simply not been there up to now. As is true wi th regular freshman preference, most of the transfers who have decided on a major in tend to go in to Engineering and Management. But the Social Sciences and Natural Sciences rank th ird and fourth among those who have an intended major. indicating perhaps a po tential that le nd s itself to increased cultivation. Arts and Le tters interest among F.all 1983 transfers was. however, only abo.ut half of that expressed in the other arts and sciences field s (see chart). . The University has to pay close attention to .. manufactured" obstacles to recrui tment posed by prese nt admissions ti~elables in seve ral field s, Kojaku maintains. " We have to change o ur approach t·o be more welcoming to transfer students," he said, citing two a pplica tion deadline dates presently in effect. It i already too late. for example, for a transfer to apply here to enter Occupational Therapy next fall . The applieauon deadline date for that department was December I. In the same manner, Physical Therapy transfers must apply by Jan uary I. These dates are mne and ten months prior lo the time the stud ent would arrive here and arc inordinately earlier than application dates set by ot her colleges and un iversities.

"Rather thaO-rtsi ng wate r, we turned to an oil-base \\hich is heavier and does n't dry out."' ut. the dough wasn 't the only thing drying out in the c_onvection ove ns. The pizza sauce, Larabee explained, was another casualty of the hot air. Initial pizzas, he recalled , tasted .. prett y nasty'' from the dehydrating sauce. " We tried inc reasing the amount of water used in the sauce but that j ust made it watery, " he said. The sauce pro blem was solved by swi tching to an oil-base also and a pano ply of new spices were added to give it a B "well pronounced taste." Even afte r the dough a nd sauce o bstacles were hurdled, and the opening of the An oil-based sauce wllh a panoply of spices helps give Larabee'• pizza a 'well pronounced cafeteria loomed, the pizza experimentation was far from complete. Larabee and his staff began testing how much cheese should cover the pies and the variety of toppings to be employed. "Finding the right amount of cheese to use is very important," he said. ••Putting on too much ca n make the pizza too sloppy. That's just as bad as not having enough .... Finally, he said . after weeks of "yelling and screaming;" tile perfected SAC pizza pie was readied for mass production.

"With our limited area, I cannot underst and why we haven\ peaked yet."

" We know it's the best on campus... ~ In the three months since its open)ng, th e SAC cafeteria is already profitable, Larabee boasted, noti ng th at o ptimist ic forecas ts )tad predicted the food ou tlet would not ••turn a profit before next year."

RUN the Research Libraries Information Network - is the automated information system that supports the programs of the Research Libraries Group (RLG), a nationwide-netwo rk of research libraries which share information and resources. This semester, after more than three years of dis-cussion and·some holdups on the part of the Division of the Budget, the University Libraries became a full member of RLG , making it possible for campus researchers and students to reap the benefits of collections at other member institutions such as Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Cornell, Berkeley, the New York State Public library, Michigan and Johns Hopkins, to name a few. In addition, RLG members have access to collections of the Library of Congress and the Center for Resea rch Libraries in Chicago, which have installed RUNprogrammed video terminals. A collaborative arrangement is also being worked out with the British Library" Lending Divisio n. SUNY Binghamton was the first SUNY unit to join RLG. Since UB·s official entry September I, Alban y and Ston~ Brook have followed suit. This leaves Syracuse University-as the only major research institution in the state that isn't a member. W urrently, RLG has some 12 million records in its bibliographic data base that represent the holdings and acquisitions of its members. When new terminals go o n-line here sofnetime on or before April I, researchers will have access tO information concerning those holdings and can use RUN to borrow books not found in UB's collections. The actual .. hands-on .. computer work will be done by University librarians, though R LG representatives who came to campus in October say they envision a time when faculty will be able to use their own microcomputers to tap the central data base. According to R LG 's 1982-83 annual repon , participation in the group ''opens the door to collections that in the aggregate number 80 million· books and 30 million serials, to which member libraries add over two miJlion volumes each year and for which they spend almost S60 mil: lion annually ...

Four additional terminals are already operational: two in the Music Library and two in Special Collections. Both these Libraries subunits joined RLG as associate members and are using RLIN for catalogi ng and sea rching purposes. RLG was formed a decade ago to "assist members in achieving long-term solutions to the chronic ftScaJ , staffing, and suppor'l problems common to all research libraries," explained Saktidas Roy, director of University Libraries. Technically, it is a non-profit corporation owned and operated by its members; each participating institution designates a representative to sit on its board of directors. President Sample asked Roy to be UB's representative. The partnership comprises SS owner, associate and special members, and two affiliated institutions. Mainframe computers are located on the Stanford University campus, which also serves as the headquarters for RLG staff. Membership cost is $40,000 annually. In addition, UB will be billed each C month [.or computer transactions: Through RLG , which has developed a solid reputat ion for grantsmans.hip, the Unive rsit y has received $25,000 in funding from the Hewlett Foundation to help defray costs associated with joining RLIN.

For example, if one wanted to search the title .. Causes and Results of the Imperial Valley California Earthquake of October 15, 1979," the transactio n could be completed using the key words, " Imperial Earthquake." Membership in RLG also has a positive impact on collection management and development, advises Madeleine Stern, assistant directo r of Lockwood's Collection Development area. Because member institutions sh:ire resources, "li braries will be able to reallocate funds to serve many fields of scholarship in a more ration al and cost~ffective manner," she submits. What this means for UB, Stern explains, is that the Universi ty Libraries can continue t9 build up areas that are already strong, such as Western European and North American cultu re, and not have to dive rt precious resources to procuring materials in more esoteric areas of study. Meanwhile. the researcher will benefit by being able to access information in the collections of other members that may specialize in those a reas.

T uesday, Dec. II , 10 216 Norton, Amherst Campus. Many University employees work with chemicals routinely. Improper exposure could result in one or more physical abnormalities so the definition of exposure, precautions, and safety measures will be d iscussed : The workshop is only one part of the Health and Safety Office"s attempt to educate and inform University personnel who work with toxic chemicals. .. A preparedness a nd preventio n program is in the process of being developed," said Gene Monacell, environmental chemist with the office. This progra m has bee n drafted and is now being revised. "It will outline a contingency plan for a maj o r spill or rele ase, including how to control the chemical involved, a safety program, and a listing of suppo rt age n-· cies available," Monacell said . · • Even tually, a "' Hazardo us Chemical Waste Guidebook will be developed in which a total program will be o utl ined,"' Monacell said. This booklet will inst ruct lab perso nnel about their responsibility in management of hazardous wastes. .. It will also contain a com plete master Ji st of chemicals used o n camp us a nd list t he EPA hazard type and compata bili ty group for each;·• Monacell said. T nywhcrc from 1,500 to 2,000 differ· ent toxic chemicals are used o n UB's two campuses daily~ according to Mon acell. It is the responsibility of Mo nacell and the office to see that they are used and disposed of properly. "A substance has a toxic effect if it can cause damage to living tissue, impairment to th e cen tral nervous sys tem, or seve re illness .... Toxic effect can range from si mple tearing or irritation of the eyes to severe disability or death," said Robert Hunt , director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. The toxic effect of a ny chemical is governed by its concentration and .. with some exceptio ns, nearly every chemical has a reduced sta te at which it will not cause perm anent tiss ue damage, and at which it may eve n be beneficial," Hunt explained. Most of the che micals on campus are A used in laborato ries, or are in the form of art, medical or custodial supplies. "Because of the high turnove r of lab personnel, many substances have collected on the shelves that are unlabeled and unknown in origin," he said. Since the summer, Monacell reports ..a significa nt gai n in clea ning up unidentified chemicals .. . 1,500 chemicals that had been abandoned have been packaged up a nd di sposed of." "'There"s always someo ne dropping a bottle of solven t or acid due to not enough care," Monacell said , but. he added, "we haven 'l had any m"ajor spills. •• (At deadl ine there was a chlorine leak at Alumni Arena . o injuries were reported .) ' UB has its own Hazardous Waste Management System which is full y doc· um ented and follows United States E nvironm ~ ntal Protection Agency (EPA) a nd New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulations. Monacell oversees the di sposal of all chemical wastes foll owing the guidelines of this system. UB is generating 20 to ns of chemical waste a year , 85 perce nt of it from labs, he noted . onaccll or one of his hazard o us waste coo rdin ato rs labels each co ntainer of waste chemicals a nd packages them by co mpatibility group in 55· ga llon drufl'S. Co mpati bili ty groups includ e sets' of chemicals which will riot react if mixed together. "The co ntainers are surro und ed in the dru m by enough vermiculite so t t1at if\he drum were crus hed and the containers broken, all of th e liquid would be absorbed , .. Mo nacell explained. The Uni versity tra nsports and disposes of the sealed a nd labeled drums thro ugh Waste Technology Services, a hazard ous waste disposal firm. .. They make sure the waste goes to a proper and approved waste disposal si te," Monacell said. Bulk liquids are taken to Frontier Che mical Processing for incineration, and other materials are taken to SEA Chemical, a secure landfill. he added . Mon ace ll has a few suggesti ons for those who use chemicals of any type: " If you find a nything unlabeled or of unknown origin o r identity, call the Office of Envi ronmental Health and Safety to ~ave it identified. lfyo u"re deal· ing with a known chemical and would like to disp ose of it, label it and call the 0 office fo r disposal."' M UB assures water au(hority stadium won't rupture mains By AL BR UNO ate last week o fficials from the Erie Co unty Water Authorit y (ECWA) exp ressed grave concern ove r the co nstruction of the new $2.3 millio n track and field / football stadium (o n UB's Amherst Campus) dtrectly over a 54" ECWA water main. ECW A officials were fearful th at exces· sive press ure on the water main would cause a severe rupture of the pipeline. U B officials have now assured EC W A that the matte~ has been taken care of. Constru ction of the new stadi um is continuing on sched ule and is slated for completion in time for the 1985 Empire State Games (which Buffalo will host . ne.xt summer). ""It wasn1 that big of a deal," said- Har· -bans Grover, UB director of architectural services, who charged local media with "overplaying" the ent ire issue. Grover said th e water main is located five feet underground and runs across the north side of the stadiu m site and und er th e nort heast berm (a pile of earth arranged in a slope-like fashion for con- L struction of grandstands). The concern was ove r the: weight of the berm on th e water main. To recti fy EC WA's worries, Grover said, UB revised the origi nal plans forthe new stadium by movi ng the berm in question southward a bout 70 feet to ease the weight a nd pressu re on the water mai n. The berm will be only 330 feet in length as co mpared to t_he original sketches that provided for it to be a bou t 400 feet tn length . . '"The new plans meet (ECW A"s) specifications fort he water main, ... said Steven Englert, UB director of design and construction. "They (UB) have shown us the revised sketch es of their plans and it"s clear th at they're goi ng to move the stadium fro!'l off the top of the water main."" sa1d EC WA executive engineer Robert Bronkie. .. lt"s a good thing the plans were changed because th e pipes (water main) couldn1 hold that amo unt of fill (weight)."" said Bronkie.

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.

Of di rect relevance to the quali ty of the ed ucational program are matters such as quality and distribution of eq uipment and faci lit ies and the quality of the libraries. The Consortium will also develop procedures fo r the periodic review and evaluation of each program. One benefit ofthe Consortium is that it will accelerate the process of integrating the hospital residents into the various discipli nes such as surgery, obstetrics, family medicine, and others. "The Consortium will not affect any non-University associated free-s tanding residency programs," Dr. Larson points out. .. However, affiliation agreements between t he University and hospitals do not always address important issues rei at- r. Larson compares the graduate medical and dental education system in Buffalo to a spider web. " Before · the Consonium, the various programs and hospital relationships were like many individual strands connected to the UmVersi ty but not to each other. The Consonium connects all those strands so that each is affected by and is responsive to the other. If one is pulled, they all pull togeth er." The hierarchy is also linked together .. ..

J usko , Ph.D., U B professor of pharmaceutics and pharmacy. " Only antibiotjcs are used more often as a class of drugs," says Jusko, who for the last seven years has been examining the role of various diseases, drug interactions a nd physiologic factors which determine t he bodiJy disposition a nd clinical effects of conicosteroids. The purpose of the most recent grant will be to study how a~e and disease a(fect the pharmacokmellcs that is the absorption, d istribution, metaboitsm, and excretion - of such widely prescribed drUgs as cortisol and prednisone. 0 Used for treatment of various conditions including blood diseases, inOammat io n . bowel disorders. asthma. allergies. arthritis, tum ors. nerve and liver ailments, s hock, a nd organ transplants, th e ste roids are often dosed by trial and erro r, frequent ly cause side effects and often do nat produce satisfactory clinical responses. according to Jusko. Research has shown, for example, that as many as 16.9 per cent of adult patients treated with prednisone experience untoward effects Such a.s Cushingoid features (a .. moonface .. caused by nuid retention). psychological symptoms, acu te gastrointestinal reactions. hyperglycemia, and loss of bone calcium. . Further complicating the d isposition of conicosteroids, explains Jusko, is the "dive rse array of tissues and organs which are si te s of eit he r direct ameliora t ive effects or ad verse reac tions," causing an unintentionally wide distribution of actions of the steroids throughout the body. The "shotgun •· effect of such steroids as cortisol, a powe rful biological agent that modulates a number of biochemical and physiological processes, introduces an inescapable degree of imprecision into the most carefully calculated and controlled therapeutic applications. Jusko believes that the wav to overcome this inherently hazardous empirical approach is to replace it with a comprehensive systems analysis of all the key factors, factors that weren't recognized or fully appreciated prior t o the st udies conducted by Jusko and researchers like him over the last ten yea rs. · or ex a mple, Jusko and his colleagues have found that seco ndary drugs such as certai n antibi'!tics_. or~l - eoniraceptives and some antt-eptlepuc . F drugs markedly influe nce the metabolism of steroids. In addition , and unlike most drugs. steroids affect their. own disposition by their direct impact on metabolic mechanisms such as blood flow, induction of metabolic enzymes, and shifts of fl uid and protein distribution. Imagine a boat that could alter the direction and rate of the stream that carries it, and you get a rough idea of this cu rious property. Corticosteroid metabol ism has raised several other unresolved questions. Repons J usko: ''O nly a small fraction is exc reted unchanged in· urine as each arms-several metai>olit.es which persist in the body co nsidera bly longer than th e parent compound." It remains to be determined to what degree the prolonged effects of the co rticosteroids are due d irectly to these lingering met abolites or to the ir reversi bility (th ey appear to revert to their parent configuration). Some researchers also have hypOthesized that certain tissues act as reservoi rs, retaining the drug for .. receptor sites of considerably higher steroid affi nity but limited capacity," ·add s Jusko. The net result of these complications is to make interpretation of blOod di sposi tion profiles and clinical measure ments of cort icosteroid responses very difficult. and effects of conicosteroids in the body. '' Receptor si te analysis represents the most sophisticated research in this field ."" cxplatns Jusko, made possible in part by the improvement of radioactive isotope techniques. Computer models, an imal systems and some patient studies will be used in resea rch Jusko hopes will integrate pharmacokinetics recep tor analysis and measurement of pharmacologic effects leading to a unifying mathematical model that incorporates all levels of drug behavior. Jusko, who spoke on drug metabolites at the recent annual meeting of the Academy of Pharmace utical Sciences, believes a unified model will permit a more rational and precise a pproach to the clinical use of conicosteroids. Other professional personnel wod.· ing on the project include George B. Corco ran, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutics, and Rebecca L. Milsap, research assistant professor of pharmacy.

Lyons has sc:cn a lot a changes in the Natave American Program since its inception in 1970 and feels progress is being made. "There have been changes in people's thoughts and in (UB) adminis· trauon. They're perceiving us a little more realistically now and not just as a stereotype." A sign of ex pansion to come. according to Lyons, is indicated by the fact that UB's Depanment of American ;>tudies (of which the Native American Program is one of four su bunit programs) is presently being considered for a Ph.D. degree. Right now, the master's degree is the terminal degree offered in the department . "A Ph. D. program in A)Jierican Studies is coming. It has passed the (UB) president's desk and is under consideration in Albany," said Lyons. "I think it11 be effective because it11 attract Ind ian students wanting to pursue the Ph.D ... By AL BR UN O here's been a long time discrepancy between what faculty of UB's Native American Program and the administration vi.ew as the true aggregate number of American Indian students here. Enrollment statistics from the Office of Institutional Studies repon a total of 136 American Indian students enrolled - 98 in undergraduate programs and 38 in graduate/ professional areas. .. I've never seen those 1dnd of numbers and I've been here since the early 70s," said Oren Lyons, an Iroquois Indian and the director of the UB Nat ive American Program. "That figure (136) is not only erroneous, it •s also meaningless." John Mohawk, an Iroquois Indian and a part-time instructor for the Native American Program, concurred with Lyons, adding, "That (igure is not only ambiguous as far as I'm concerned but it gives the University a highly inOated view of its efforts in recruiting American Ind ian students." · · "How else can we possibly do it?" asked Dr. Lawrence Kojaku , former director of the Office of Instit utional Studies and now assistant vice-president for university services, when questioned about a possible solution to the alleged enrollment·discrepancy. The Office of Institutional Studies ·compiles minority student counts by the use of two instruments - the SUNYwide application and the student data form. uTbere's no other way. It's a matter of self-identification," said Koja.ku. "There arc only two ways the federal government determines a person's ethnic background. The one way is through self-identificati on, which is the most commonly used. and the other is through community identification, which is seldom used." Kojaku said since self-identification is most commonly used and occurs when a student applicant fills out required admission materials, a " trust factor"' is built into the application process. " We have no way of knowing whether the student is telling the truth about his ethnic background or just arbitrarily checking off a box ," said Kojaku . Another factor th at adds to the inaccuracy of minority student counts, Kojaku points out, is the student's legal right to decide whether or not he/ she wants to disclose ethnic background information. "It seemseveryyearthat the largest category(in the ethnic background secti on) is the unknown or unreported group. These st udents choose not to identify their backgrounds, •• said Kevin' Durkin, director of admissions. "They're usually stu· dents who want to escape that background and don\ want to be identified." Durkin described the federal govern· ment as "a double-edged sword .. in terms of its relationship to minority groups. .. In its attempts at protecting minorities, the federal governmen t sometimes finds itself in direct opposition to positive, affirmative aclion for minorities,'" observed the admissions director. He illl!strated his observation by saying, ''Fifteen years ag~ . we were .not able to ask whether an apphcant was, 10 fact , a minority. The purpose behind this was to protect the student from bias or prej udice 10 the application process. This made it much more difficult to identify minority applicants and effectively recruit them.,.

Garrow a nd Seneca, both of lineal iroquois desce nt , believe UB should hire qualified Ind ian professionals to directly administer support services to Ind ian stud ent s - positive role models who could empathize with students' problems. "I would be thrilled to have an Ameri· can Indian in admissions," said Durkin. "The solution lies in making the best use of the finite resources we have. Some people will have to do double duty." Durkin sees the American Ind ian student as a non-traditional kind of student who poses special challenges. "We have to replace tradi ti onal recruit. ing techniques with innovative ones for the non-traditional Ind ian student ... said Durkin. "We have to use Indian students here at UB as valuable tools in recruiting Indian students on the reservations. .. There's a lot of mistrust that we have to overcome . .. we have to communicate the exceiJence of education as a means to an end (success)," Durkin said.

Ind ian education leaders, Lyons among them, have rallied together and view President Reagan as the culprit behind this recent demise. "Financially. Indian education is in bad shape.

The week-long orientation was one of be USPS is the second largest civilian employer in the country and uses a tremendous number of sophisticated and expensive devices. One would be hardpressed to find an industry displaying a greater range of types of workers and tasks. According to Drury, who has sev· eral i ndustrial~ngineering interns at the Buffalo Post Office, the Postal Service presents a number of challenging ergonomic problems. Chief among them are T two sessions intended to Ieick off an unpreeedented program to improve workplace quality for the approximately 700,000 employees of the United States Postal Semce. A second session is scheduled to take place on the Amherst Campus in early December. The USPS has contracted with UB to help postal service executives from throughout the country recognize ergonomics problems and to show them how to manage ergonomics projects more effectively, says Colin Drury, Ph.D., pro. fessor of industrial engineering. interactions between operators and automated equipmen t and training and inspection procedures. "The central thesis of ergonomics," explains training program designer and machines, we only have two ch01ces for " In designing a system of people and instructor Drury, "is that the task, machine and environment should be designed to fit the known capabilities and improving the humanfi ob fit: change the human or change the job," explains Drury. "Given the diversity of postal employees, the best long term approach is to stress job improvements, that is, limitations of the human operator if rapid , safe, and error-free performance is to be achieved." The postal service, being both laborintensive and highly automated, offers countless opportunities for ergonomic changes in tasks, machines, and envir- onment. This effort should be supp le· mented by an analysis of operator train· ing, a powerful tool often overlooked in North America." Though a considerable portion of pos· tal work continues to be manual labor in tervention, according to Drury. Though the USPS bas employed industrial engineers for 15 years, it is only within the last t\Oo to three years that a ) sys tematic nationwide ergonomics and thus remains a candidate for classic biomechanical analysis, it is the rapid and approach has been adopted.

For example. in the course on anthropometry - the science of bod y measurement introduced by A.

Performances Thursday through Saturday are at 8 p.m. Sunday perfoimances are a t 3 p.m. Ward Williamson, UB associate professor of theatre. is directing the production. The Beaux' Stratagem was first produced in 1707 at London's Haymarket Theatre, a few days before its Irish-born author died at age 29. The complicated plot centers on a series of comical deceptions that begin when two young men , in a scheme to marry into money, disguise themselves as rilaster and servant. A transi tional work , The Beaux ' Stratagem tackled a new moral situation in drama, namely the advisabili ty of divorce for illassorted couples, at a. time when divorce was just about impossible.

To which hi s wife cryptically replies: " Or rather a living Soul coupled to a dead Body. "The line is derived from the second book of Milton's 1643 Doc1rine and Discipline of Divorce, in whiclt Milton prese nts a ~i milarly unromanticized view of any mis-matched pair: ••nay, instead of being one fl esh, they will be ra ther two carcasses chained unnaturally together; or. as it may happen , a li vi ng so ul bo und to a dead corpse .... Though a spritely, entertaining comedy, The Beaux' Stratagem is nonetheless "entertaining on its own terms,"' says Williamson, who cites the flay's attention to· such vexing issues o that time, as the restrictions o(class, the difficulties for women , especially, in jettison- T ing an unhappy marriage, and inequi- table in heritance laws. Serious themes notwithstanding, The Beaux' Stratagem is great fun, as many have pointed out. The famous English essayist William Hazlitt (1778-1830) wrote that Farquhar " makes us laugh from pleasure oftener than from malice . . . his wit is easy and spontaneous; his style animated , unembarrassed , and flowing; his characters full of life and spirit, and never unrestrained so as to 'overstep the modesty of nature', though they sometimes, from haste and carelessness , seem left in a crude unfinished state.

Field trips to the Aquarium, as well as touring and hands-on exhibits of selected aquatic specimens to the schools complete the comprehensive education program in the community. ... Very little aquatic information is otherwise dispersed tO the community, which makes our program vital,"' Babus believes. Not only does it provide information about a subject frequently ignored in general education but the program helps dispel misunderstandmgs which arise from tgnorlnce and a general lack of exposure to the subject. While extensive breeding programs are cunailed by lack of space and monies, the Aquarium .. loans"' certain animals to similar facilities with the assurance it will receive any firstborn animals. Most recently, a breeding program of red-tailed hawks and Kestrel falcons has begun at the Aquarium, with an eye tow a rd breeding Peregrine falcons, which originally inhabited the Niagara Gorge area. "If We prove our competence in breeding these birds of prey, then we hoi?" the U.S. Government will give us pemussion to begin breeding the Peregrine falcons, which have become extinct in this area and are on the endangered species list," Babus says. Conservation of animal life - particu- larly marine lire - is '!n area of special concern to Babus, who describes homself as an "old fashioned naturalist." "Monk seals are close to extinction, stellar sea lions are on the decline and other species are in trouble - panly because of man's disregard for m.arine environment an~ so because of natural catastrophes such as parasitic diseases and hurricanes,"' the biologist says. • In Puget Sound, for instance, harbor seals are increasingly being born with congenital btrth detects such as missing limlis. And in other polluted waterways, malignant tumors are being found in fish and other marine life. Although the Great Lakes and other important waterways in the U.S. where pollution has been rampant are being cleaned, they can never return to their original states. .. But we must learn in greater detail how human carelessness is destroyi ng the marine environment and take measu res to prevent it if we are to conse rve our natural ma ri ne reso urce s, ·· Ba bus emphasizes. · Last year, the U.S. Government became more concerned with marine mammal environment near coastal oil wells and began to investigate how the oil industrY's drilling and noise pollution affects the animal population. .. We feel we have an ove rwhelm ing task in educating what will be the next generations of Gree npeace and other conservation groups, .. Babus comments. "If we can make child.ren and adults now more aware of the need to conserve the marine environment - for s·pon fishing, for preserving aquatic sea mammals and preventing extinction of various forms of marine life - then they will be more inclined to push for more stringent governmental environmental protection and legislation~ for conservation measures which will advance our goals at the Aquarium," Babus concludes. . 0 scholars, an o pportunity they might have missed when they were working.

I11 November 29, 1984 Volume 16, No. 12 Gen Ed requirements By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO plan that leaves the general ed ucation program intact for most transfer students will be in effect for the fall of 1985. Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education James Dunn has approved the plan drawn up by the general education committee. This new policy states that the general education program -applies to all transfe r students except th ose admitted directly into the professional schools of Arch itecture, Engineering, Health Related Professio ns, Nursing and Pharmacy. For those students, clustering systems will apply. The new transfer policy cequires seven general education courses. Transcripts are to be reviewed using the current system of advising: at the professional school for students bein~ admitted directly there and at the Dtvision of Undergraduate Education for all others. Col1!1lared to many of the plans that h been proposed, this plan uses a simple method to decide which transfer courses will count toward general education. The advisor will use the department designation of a transfer course tO place it into a general education knowledge area. Where a designation doesn 't matCh 3 · department at UB, the course title and f or content will be used to determine the knowledge area. Advisors can contact DUE for help with problems. Since all but one general education course at U 8 is a minimum of three credits, only transfer coUrses of more than two credits would be considered for equivalency. (This permits acceptance of a four-credtt course on a quaner system that translates to two and two-thirds A Memorial service honors those who donated bodies to )\'ledical School A memorial service honoring some 400 persons who do nated their bodies to the School of Medi· cine will be held in the Newman Chapel, Fro ntier Road, at 2 p.m. today (Nov. 29). Following a brief service led by the Rev. J ohn Kamaras of UB's Campus Ministries, a maTker honoring the donors will be un veiled in the adjacent Skinners-ville Cemetery. The marker, d onated by the UB medica] dean's offtee in cooperation with Genesee Monument Co., is inscribed: "In grateful remembrance: of those whose donations or themsch•c:s ha\"t: sen ·ed io advance: teaching and research at the State University of 'ew YoTk at Buffalo School of Medici ne. May they rest in peace." An idenlical marker will be placed at Mt . Olivet's St . Timothy GIU'"dens to commemorate • those d onors who \o\"t:re Catholic. While this will be the: first public memorial service honoring the donors. some families elect to hold private services at the time of the donor's death or at a later date. Dr. Charles St:verin, associate professor of anatomical sciences who headed a committee to honor the d onors, says that the generosity or these ind ividuals should be recognized by the community. Most become d onors, he adds, out of a sense or helping their fellow humans through medical and dentaJ research and training.

The clustering systt!m was de vised to provide some flexibilit y to students- in those five professiona-l schools whose programs arc packed with major courses, Headrick said. •• It's an expression of general education as ad~pted to practical reali ti es," he said.

Headrick said. schools are worthy of UB's general education credit has been a crucial issue. The gene ral education committee has decided, course by course, which ·of UB's offerings will be acce pted. So the enormous job of st udying course descriptions for each transfer student was an overwhelming prospect. Instead. the committee decided to go by the department designation. If th ere's no such department at UB, the advisor can check out the course title or content. If a student objeCts to a decision, the burden falls upon him or her to prove, with course descriptions and the like, that Ano ther consideration in arriving at the policy was timelin ess. Robert Cooper, assistant dean of Pharmacy. noted that transfer students have already been coming in for advisement and he hasn't had answers for them on what would be required. Now that there's a plan, the professional school representatives can go back to their "feeder schools" and tell students what they should take before transferring to UB, Cooper said. 0 I Here's how it wiH wor.k he following are the general education requirements for transfer students, effective fall 1985. • Seven courses. • ·Transcripts are reviewed by the professional sc hool for adm is~ion there, or by DUE for all others. • • The department designation of a transfer course determines into \\ hu:h knowledge area it will be accepted. • Ifthedcsignationdoesn't match a department at UB, the advisor can u-.l.' the: course title orCO!JlCnt to determine where the course belongs.

D November 29, 1984 Volume 16, No. 12 olphin-sitting may seem an unusual pas- time, but it•s serious research for students enrolled in a course on marine animals taught at UB by Niagara Falls Aquarium Director Bela Babus. The unique opportunity to conduct research at the Aquarium facilities under supervision supplements classroom topics ranging from. health problems to environmental concerns for the animals. S tudent research, Babus believes, is an important pan of the course, now in its second year, because it has the potential to add to the growing body of knowledge in the relatively young field of marine science. But, just as important, it increases students' appreciation of the complexities of marine life and its environment in the wild and captivity. Some of the research projects, for instance, have revolved around the Aquarium's 20-ycar-old Buster, the oldest freshwater dolphin in captivity. The long-snouted Am~on dolphin (lnia geoffrensis). captured during a 1965 Aquarium expedition to Brazil, is one of only four. in capti~ity. A recent Jacques Cousteau television docl.lmentary about the Amazon featured Buster's '"relatives, the socalled ~pink dolphins" of the river. Last year, several students took. turns rOtating through 24-hour shifts to observe Buster's behavior. Recording and documenting his patterns, they him more active at dusk and dawn than at times. Conversely, dolphins in the wild exhibit their greatest levels of activity during daytime hours. Other student researchers will have the task of determining why Buster behaves as he does. . " Wh ile this may appear a simple research project, it sho uld be noted that virtually any bits of inform atio n we ga ther which help unde rsta nd marine mammalJ, in ca ptivi ty are uscful. "' "s3ys Ba bus. A b io l ogi~ t who joined the Aq ua rium staff eight years ago, Ha bus poi nts to other research which has bee n co nducted at th e facility since it o pened its doors to the public in 1967 as a nonprofit ed ucatio nal instituti on.

Other inland facilities at the time, Babus explains, . were shipping seawater - often crosscountry in railw.ay cars - to provide appropriate environments for their animals. nether important aspect of the Aquarium ·s research has involved marine mammal diseases. Widespread use today of the drug Ketaconizol to treat the systemic and often deadly infection Candida albicans in dolphins. penguins, and other sea mammals can be traced to the Niagara Falls Aquarium. "Four years ago , the infection, which in humans is usua lly locali zed and thus more easily controlled, threatened one of our dolphins," Babus recalls. Researching the problem, Aquarium personnel found -an experimental drug had been used successfully by a south American scientist against the condition in marine mammals. Requesting the drug from the pharmaceutical company in hopes it might save an ailing aquatic anima l, t~ staff obtained Ket;1conizol on an experimental basis. Not only did the drug cure the dolphin of the inf~tion, which can become systemic in animals living in moist environments, but Aquarium scientists' repons of their findings to the International Association of Aquatic Animal Medicine led to the drug's eventual rout ine use for Candida albiCilns in marine animals. Often, arch does not provide happy endings through core of a nima ls but instead adva nces knowledge after th ei r unavoidab le deaths. Babu l points ou t.

" Although the animal could not have been saved. the information we gained through its death may lead to measures in the future which will save other animals with the condition," Babus hopes. Bonding of newborn animals is a topic of current research being conducted by Aquarium staff and a Niagara University psychologist with Rocky, a sea lion born this summer who was rejected by his mother. Handfed by hum a ns in an artificial environm ent. Rock y may provide more informa tion on bonding of an abandoned infant with human care tak ers. This attachm ent would norm ally develo p between Rocky and his mother. " Water quality research, research on marine mammal diseases, reproduction of a nimals in captivity, dietary requirements and animal behavior are all appropriate and vital topics of research at th Aquarium," Babus poi nts out. The research may be. designed by UB students enrolled in the marine mammal course or interns or staff at the Aquarium.

The hosts, singer/songwriter Larry Rand and musician Art Thieme, add an extra "down home" touch with their special brand of humorous insights. " True to its name, Flea Market is filled with musical heirlooms, little· known treasures, and lots of surprises," says Producer Ken Gagne. "Where else can you hear such songwriting gems as 'Cupid 's Trash Truck' and 'Throw Your Cat Away,' sprinkled among heart-wrenching ballads?" Jan Hob1on and Her Bad Review are among groupa fea tured on the new Saturday morning 'Flea Market' serle1. Providing a down-home backdrop fo r the series is Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music where such greats as Pete Seeger, The Weavers, Steve Goodman, and Joan Baez have performed. The school has only just regained its feet after a not-so~successful year in 1982, but now that it's back it's stronger than before. Larry Rand, who calls himself a folksinger . comedian , writer, and politician, breaks up audiences with his contag ious humor. The · composer of such musical classics as " The Waterbed was Filled with Glue the Night I Got Stuck on You Polka" or " Skokie Blues*' about the sub•rb that "puts other cities to pride," Rand finds it difficult to be serious on stage. His first musical love was Dixieland and his first instrument was the tenor banjo which he began playing very early in life. When he was in high school , ) his friends introduced him to Chicago Blues style music through works by artists Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf . Traditional jau and blues led to Leadbelly and from there to folk music for Rand . He enjoyed playing standard folk fare until he was exposed to Or. Lou Gottlieb of the Umelighters and realiz·ed that folk music could be funny. He discovered a release for his comedic gift. After being drafted. Rand returned to civilian life as a student at Northwestern's Medili School of Journalism. He dropped out, frustrated at the regimentation wh ich he felt wa ~ drowning his creative writing , end tried to earn a living from free-lancing and music. Du ring this time he wrote a novel, " Fred" about a car named Fred, which was never published. Today he enjoys performing for public rad io audiences with new co mic materia l and songs. o-host Art Th ieme is a wellknown singer of old-time ballads and known as the " king of the nine-string guitar." He made his performing debut in 1959 and has been appearing fo r over 20 yea rs at the North Side Club in Chicago. He r~members the early days: "Admission was $1 , and the deal was that I C would get 25 per cent of the door." Thieme, who was 16 at the time, recalls, "I took home a quarter. One guy showed up and I played two sets for him. It cost me more to get home that night than I earned." Thieme's Involvement in music is for the tales it can tell. " It's like stepping into a time machine, with all the distractions of the era gone, and seeing only what the song wants you to see, talking about li fe in vivid, poetic terms:· A self-taught musician, Thieme play's guitar, banjo and the musica l saw.

Manager's Message ecember marks the end of an eventful year for FM88 and its listeners. During 1984, the station added Bob end Rey, weekend morn ing folk programs, Monltoradio, The American Jezz Rld!o Festl'lll, the Soundstege Dreme series , and UB football road games to its schedule. FM88 won a number of program awards and supplied news and music programs to national audiences. Throughout 1984 , the sta· tion cont inued to focus attention on its University's activities. services , events, and interest io the community. The year has brought other changes as well. New program hosts and announcers have included BiiiTourot, Edie Moore, Barb Irwin, Greg Murawski, Sally Ann Mosey, James Werick. Tom Oooney, Pat Brogan. Brian Fiori, and Maggie Downie. However, the more things change the more they stay · the same. FM88 has been lucky to keep its talented but overworked paid • staff in its entirety throughout the year. the stability of FMBB's staff i s a fortunate sign that the station's employees enjoy their work and the challenge of providing a unique public radio service to area listeners • I~ days to conie. FM88 moves from celebrating its silver anniversary to dedicating itself to 25 more years· of community and University service. We turn from being proud of our past to programming for the present and planning for the future. D We expect to activate a new broadcast control room , control board , and studio within a few weeks. In a few months we will be moving our transmitter location to an Amherst (North) Campus location and dou· bling the strength of the station's signal. While 1984 has been a year to savor, 1985 looks to be a year to anticipate. We must also thank the many listeners who called and pledged their support for FMBB duri ng the - BOB SIKORSKI General Manager.

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.

Karen Monaco. manager of the America n Lung Association Smoking or Hea lth Progra m. cautions. however. that '"the smoking pu blic should not be misled to think of icore tte as a panacea that will automatically make a smoker quit. It works effectively only as pan of some soh of su ppo rtive quit- ro o king program.·· It is much less effective when used with minimal instruct ion and without a support program. This is simply because lack of motivation or encouragement will lead the smoker to stop using the gum and re~ume smoking again. Smokers must con~is tentl y chew the gum for a minimum of three months to be likely to succeed. Monaco encourages doctors notju t to prescribe the gum, but to provide the ir patients with clear instructions about it. since it must be chewed in a cenain wa~. and u ed with a certain frequency and duration to be successful. se rs must also be a"are of possible side effects. she says.

Malone said. ost of th e senators who spoke for th e new policy said that it would be es pecially helpful in large classes where multiple choice tests with numeri cal grades a rc the ru le. A coup le of senators noted that they already usc a plust minus system before coming up with th eir final grades and that # it' helpful when stu dents ask for letters of recommendation years later.

By MILTON PL E Selig Adler Distinguished historian is dead at age 75 R elig Adler. born in 1909 in Ballimore. Ma ryland. was the eldest of two children of Joseph and Della Adler. Joseph was an immigrant from Kitzengen. Germany who made a living as a tra\·elingsalcsman throughout the south. He had received a solid education in th e old coun try and being intellectually curio us he contintJed S to read and to learn. Current events. history. and especially the ivil War. were hi s main interests. He began 10 travel in the sou th in 1893. a liule more than a 0 ~~~~::~~~~e~fl~~Jh~C~l~rri!et;~~c ~~~ fresh adding to Joseph·s already considerable knowledge. At times SCiig traveled with his father and always on th e endless train rides. or in lonely hotel rooms. there were lesson · on histOr)' given by father to son. And in the evenings. after the day;s sales \HTe tfone. thev would often visit actual Civil \Var hattie sites and the education continued and the son's love of history and the past took shape. In 1927. Selig graduated from the New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn. and the next year brought. him to Buffalo. the city of his mother's birth. where he enrolled in The College of Arts and Sciences of the Universi ty of Buffalo. then a small school of approxima te ly 655 undergraduates and 85 facu lt y. The Universi ty atmosphere was a heady one for an inquisi tive and bright nineteen-year-old . Chancellor· Samuel P. Capen, a creative and active educator. was in the process of forging a first ci:!SS liberal arts college built around an unusually fine young faculty and an Honors Plan which offered selected students an opportun ity to meet wi th a mentor individually or in small groups and study in tensively a given subject. Adler's chief mentors in the History Department were four: Julius \V. Pratt instructed in American diplomatic history and the history of American Expansion. J ohn T . Horton was really a "universal man." teaching Medieval History. American colonial history, and American Government. Augustus Shearer and Wilfred H. Kerr were Adler's instructors in European histC)ry. Selig Adler met J anel Sukernek in 1930. a freshman swdent at the University. Since both were ~ewish community activists. they had that in common as well as Janet's interest in Histo ry. It is unresolved whether J311et 's historical concern was that real, or whether she took such courses to impress Selig. She admi ts to a minor in H istorvso she could understand him! Thus begitn a long courtship that lasted six years. To this marriage were born Ellen an<! Joseph . xccp t for graduate work. Selig Adler's enti re collegiate career from student to Professor was s pent in Buffalo. A s umma cum laude graduate of the Uni· vcr~it y of Buffalo in 1931. he received the mas ter's and doctorate degrees from the University of Illinois in 1932 and 1934. After receiving the doctora te. Adler returned to Buffalo but the Dcpre sion precluded a college position. He received an appointment in the Buffalo school system where he tau gh t from 1934 to 1947. Beginning in 1938, Adler taugh t in the University's extension and summer pro· grams. In 1947. he joined the full-time E =--=-~---·_ __ diplomacy in a general work in 1966. n•.

Pratt . his respected and inspiring teacher and mentor. Adler was appointed the next year the Samuel Paul Capen Professor of American Hi story. It was altogether fi llin g that Adler be l'rau·s successor. The Professorship was established to perpetuate Chancellor Capen's love of American democracy and to promote the teaching and interpretation of American hi tory. A Faculty Committee agreed that Adler reflected thi s charge and it cited his reputation as a .. revered teacher" of history to youth. his espousal of the ide31s of democracy. his dedication to research. a nd both his national repu tation a a scholar and his visiting professorships at Cornell University and the University of Rochester. Selig Adler 's last academic promotion and recognition came in 1975 with hi s being named Distinguished Service Pro· fessor .... tudcnt evaluations became popular vehicles in the wake of lhc unrest of the 1960·s and 197o·s. Adlc~ 's regular evaluations and those solicited for the Distingui s hed Profess orial appointment were uniformly positi ve.

That word circulated throughout SUNY Buffalo last spring. The threat of · retrenchment had subsided - at least for the 1984-85 fiscal year. The success of our energy conservation program contributed to our good fortune. Our energy saving efforts - and those of other SUNY campuses - were apparently not lost on Albany and we received favorable treatment at budget time. Instead of cutting employee lines, the Administration h'ad a few to add. This was a benefit not only to UB faculty and staff, but also to the Univt:rsity's students who depend on adequately staffed programs for a quality education. 0 ur energy scorecard lor 198384 reflected continued improvement over previous years. For the first time in ten years, total energy costs were lower than those lot th e year before. The ~83-84 energy bill for both campuses was S I I ,846,000, down slightly from $12,325.000 in 1982-83. We got so me help from the electric com pany (N iagara Mohawk) whose rates dipped slightly in 1983-84. But conservatio n played a major role. Conservation measures implemented between 1973-83 saved an estimated S3 1 ~~f~~n i~1 r~l3"-s~e~a0:er.n~?~; : $500,000. Total energy consumption i n~ 1983-84 was a whopping 1,1 47,000,000,000 Brit ish th e rm al units ( 1.147 trillion BTUs). But this co mpares favorably to the 1.230 trillion BTUs we used two years ago in 1981-82 when we had a comparably cold wi nt er heating season. This 7 per cent reduWn in energy use was achieved despite the addition of a couple of new buildings on UB's Nonh Campus. To main tain this positive momentum, the Conserve U 8 energy awareness program will again be exhorting the campus community to take personal action to save energy and to coope rate with new initiatives from erly, though sieamfiuers sho p foreman Dave Peebles and his crew bave been making some head.way. For example, last year numerous st.e am traps were repaired or replaced in the South Campus' Sherman and Farber Halls. More extensive beating system "ru>~s" were completed in Parker, Hayes and Harriman Halls. Reha bs of this kind are complicated and time consum ing. ~ntifc heating system in a buildin$ nlust be checked ou t to make sure n works as originally designed . Usually, many components• - valves, steam traps, thermostats - must be repaired or replaced. \ The big valves that control the steam as it enters each building from the underground steam lines are called 04 Leslie valves." Conservation efforts have included the replacement of a number of these units. New Leslie valves will make heating system repair work easier in South Campus build ~ ings. They also make it more practical to tum ofT heat on warm fall and sp ring days wh,en overheating can be a problem. Other recent South Campus heating projects have included adding insula·tion to various steam lines a nd installing .. heat timers" in two of the small dorms. Now all three of these struc- " ENERG CONSERV~ W.2 .,. . :·: ', '·.. The ground floor ldunge In Hall. Ughta ea,.., out for the $1000 u•lngal th e campus physical plant departments. The physical plant departments on both campuses have been actively pursuing energy conservation measures and projects to improve the efficiency of campus heating, cooli ng and lighting systems. What follows is a discussio n of some of the projects implemented during the 1983-84 fiscal year. E lflcient Healing : A Top Priority Improvements in heating efficiency were top priority on both campuses. The Nonh Campus physical plant must pay c.areful attention to heating efficiency since nearly all heat on th~ newer campus is high-cost electricity. Energy problems at the South Campus are of a different son. Heating with coal is relatively inex pensive but the system is old and is pro ne to malfunction. Older equi pment requires much attention if it is to operate prop- tures are equipped with heat timers. These control units enable physical plant to set back temperatures slightly at night and to turn down the heat during vacation periods. On the Nonh Campus heat conservation projects took a variety of forms . In addition to implementing new measures, previous heating season energy savi ng measures were continued, such as the policy to heat the Alumn_i Arena Field House to 55 o F. Once again this measure produced a $50,000 energy savings. A similar heating policy was -also applied to the high ceiling open bay areas in the Baker Chilled Wa ter Plant. ettlng Building Systems to G Worlt Together Most North Campus buildings have two heating systems, a central.air handling system that delivers warm air to -------------••:. .. • B y -~-- • - "":"", 'r.,. -- - - --------------------- WALTER . ~ ~ 5 I 1\ room spaces via ductwork and a perimeter heating system that relies on electric-resistance heaters mounted on the building's outside wall. Sometimes these systems fight each other. For example, if the perimeter heat is turned up too high, the central air handling sy tern may bring in large quantities of cold outside air to cool ofT the building. When th is occu rs, _much energy is wasted . This was a big problem in Crofts Hall. The problem was solved . however. when our ever-energetic North Campus electricians installed a Silicon Control Rectifier (SCR) syst~m that pulses power to Crofts' perimeter heaters in accordance with outside weather condi tions. By slowing down the pulses when outside tem perature rises, overheating can be eliminated . Preliminary analysis suggests a 33 per cent heating seaso n savings in Crofts. This means annual savings could be as high as S25,000. The full effect of this new heating system will be felt this coming heating season. Last year, SCRs were also installed in th e Chilled Water Plant. A project to install SCRs in Lockwood is presently nearing completion. Energy Waste In Lab R educing Buildings The mos! wasteful piece of equipm~nt Daniel JakuboWIIcl (,.,) Fred Menth ollhe S• Cam- Phyalcal Plant ~-llldjuot Leslie ' , _ _ , of GoodyMI domtlfo<Y. �November 15, 1984 Volume 16, No. 10 sioning was undertaken in Furnas Hall. In all, we identified 14 fume hoods that could be shut down. Expected annual savings in Furnas are in excess of $30,000 . . Currently, another fume hood decommissioning project is underway in Cooke· Hochstetler. Other strategies for reducing fume hood energy losses are being explored. dimly lit areas were found . The net result was a $12.000 annual savings and equal or improved lighting in areas where it is needed. Both physical plant departments contin ue to consult regularly with the Anti-Rape Task Force to maintain safe lighting on UB campuses. a long train! But it would have been a mile lo nger if we hadn \ continued implementing conservation measures during 1983-84. In fact, efforts since 1973 have shortened UB'scoal train by 5 miles! Many other opportunities for conservation exist on our North and .,.,._,., ,,._.,. .....,..,.,.,_ ..,..,.,.,._ S l ~· 10 on campus is the laboratory fume hood . Due to the way our lab buildings were designed , these hoods run con~ tinuously - resulting in prodigious energy losses. On the average, each fume hood on the North Campus exhausts S2500 worth of heated air per heating season. South Campus costs are in the S I 500 per hood range - less than North's but still a lot. Add to these figures summer air conditioning losses fo r hoods in air conditioned laboratories. A survey done earlier this year revealed that SUNY Buffalo has 580' fume hoods. Wh at ca n be done to make UB's fume hood systems energy efficient? Short of com pletely redesigning lab building exhaust fa n systems (which we eventually hope to d o), a number of conservatio n measures are possi ble. One approach involves ..decommissioning" unused hoods. The decommissioning process involves identifying unused hoods, disconnecting them from the exhaust system ductwork and reducing air flow z.cco rdingly. A year and a half ago. No rth Campus Physical Plant s uccessfull y decommissioned fume hoods and other exhaust ducts in Fronczak Hall. This past year - thanks to excellent coo peration from the Chemical and Mechanical Engineering Departments - ad dition al fume hood decommis- olvlng Computer Problem• The increasing use of computers on campus has created some energy problems. The computers themselves don\ use much energy. However, some large units require special environmental conditions in order to operate properly. [f physical plant is forced to use tbe central heat· mg, ventilating 31Jd cooling (HVAC) system in a buildi ng to meet special conditions in a computer room, substantial energ)L,waste is likely to occur. Often what is needed is a special air conditioning sys tem- specifically designed to cool a computer room. Once this type of equipment is installed and operational, we can return the building·s central air handling system to QOrmal operation. In 1983-84, the orth Campus Physical Pjant, following Design and Constructibn Office plans, installed separate computer cooling systems in Bell and Fronczak Halls. We estimate that the system in Fronczak ato ne is saving in excess of S20,000 per year. h.t that r~e. it will pay for itself in enelgy savinAs in less than one year. ore Efficient Lighting M Efforts to im prove the efficiency of UB's lighting systems also continued during the 1983-84 fiscal year. On The North Campus, the major indoor lighting project involved replacing recessed incandescent lights with Ouorescent fixtures in many areas in the Ellicott Complex - including the Browsing Library. the Computer Ce nter, the Anthropology Lab and Museum as well as the third floor areas in the Millard Fillmore Academic Complex. Photocells have been used extensively on the North Campus to keep vario us indoor lights off during the day when dayl ight from large adjacent windows provides adeq uate ill um ination. Baird Hall's first and second noor lobby lights are now controlled by photocell. eHer Outdoor Lighting In ou r quest for energy savings we did not ignore ou tdoor lighting. High pressure sodium ( H PS) lights were installed on Lockwood and Baldy Halls, replacing numerou s ineffective incandescent lights. T he H PS fixtures are among the most efficient on th e market. They are easily identified by their orange-pink appearance. Since the color rend ition of. these lights has improved substantially in recent years, we are looking forward to eventually conve rt ing an o utdoor fix tu res .on both campuses to this type of light. Once this is done we wi ll ha\!e more light at a lower cost. During the 1983-84 fiscal year, the North Ca mpus physical plant implemented a ca mpus lighting plan designed to provide both safe and efficient lighting. In order to insure safe lighting the plan was developed in consultation with UB's Anti-Rape Task Force. The plan identified areas where lighting was either unnecessary or where lighting leve.ls were excessive, e.g. along ca mpus roadways where there is no pedestrian travel. In these areas lights were disco nnected, often following an every other ligh t pattern. At the same time, lighting around Elli· cott and Governors dormitories and bet ween these dormitories · and the academ ic spine were maintained at ex.istin) levels or improved wherever B ~w.f..­ Pianl: Low - errd .... llghl ow Much Did We Save? As mentioned earlier. UB consumed a total of 1.147 trillion BTUs of energy last year. If we imagine that much energy in the form of a single fuel type, say coal, we would need a coal train over 17 miles long to meet UB's a nnu al energy tfceds. That's H South campuses. The University•s physical plant departments plan to continue efforts to improve the efficienry of UB's heati ng. cooling and lighting systems. With help from students. faculty and staff we will continue to make significant energy savings in the years ahead. 0 HOW YOU CAN HELP T her.e are many ways co ncerned individuals wilhin the Uni\•ersity can asstst the Conserve UB energy conservation program.

"They didn 1 have to pull up ties: they brought them with them." A la rge percentage of th e J ewish populat io n in Buffalo can trace its heritage back to the same vi llage in Ea tern Euro pe where thi was done. she noted . It a lians and Germans also came over in thi s manner. The primary reason for most immig rant~ to come here is economic. Seller said. The specific causes can range from tryi ng to avoid actual starvation. as in th e ca!)C of the potato famine of Ireland. to making a good opportunity better. as in th e case of man y Third World professio nals who come to this cou nt ry today. Highly skilled people, especially in the medical areas. are coming from th e Philippines, Korea and Thailand. she said. People are also co ming from South and Central America who are willing to do the jobs. such as housewo rk. that nobody ch.c wants. There are morC illegal immigrants coming fro m Me xico now than in tJJe past. The .. pus h and pull factors ·· arc bo th very ~ trong. Seller noted . There's th_c pu~h from the bad. overcrowded condltions of M xico and the pull from the Immigrants From page 12 .. The co mmunities, such as Chinatowns, are often co nd uits. Some people choose to stay. but there arc large gro ups that move right thro ugh. Seller ex plained. The population is con~tantly turning ove r. ""I th ink many ethnic communities are like that .'' she said. " Immigran ts tend to go where th ere arc peo ple from the same gro up. The older ones tend to provide jobs and hou si ng to hel p them ge t a start. That's always the case." • hen the Vietnamese arrived. she poi nted o ut, the govern ment scattered them acros th e co untry in ho pes th ey \\ Ould be assimi lated into society fa~ t er that way. But the Vietnamese fo und it more useful to reassem ble and set up thei r own Vietnamese commu ni- . ties. she ~a id . Some peo ple immigrated in groups. ··some t ime~ an en tire ,·illagc would dcpo\it itself in a couple of bloch of L W promise of t he good life in t his country. Immigration can also be a mauer of ph ysical survi val. Many Armenians came du ri ng the Greek and Armenia n conflict. Jews esca ped from persecution in Russia at th e turn of the cent ury and from Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. " It was a maller of life and death , .. she said . Other groups came because their cultu re was being suppressed . At the tu rn of the century. Poles were under foreign rule. Many came to Buffalo to use their nati ve language and have a Polish educatio n. so mething th ey couldn't do in the Pru ~sia n areas of their native land. Seller said. In Easter n Europe. native language newspa pers were not allowed. so Lithuanians and Ukrainians came here for that privilege. Yiddish theater moved to 'e w York Ci ty. because it was ou tlawed in Rus~ia. she noted . Man y immigrants came looking for ··room to breathe . ., Seller said . and found iJ in America's social egalita riani ~m. It was a place where the immigrants could hope that even their daughters would grow up to be ""ladies ... This is not to say there ''a ~ no cla~s struct ure. There were differences bet ween the rich and the poor. but yo u didn1 notice them on the stree ts as much in th is co untry. M any immigrants came for personal freedom . Families in Eastern Europe and in Ire land oflen arranged marriages for their daughters. Wom en who didn't li ke their paren ts' pick might head for America. " It was a fairly common reason for women to come." the historian said. Man y men emigrated from the AustroHun garian Empire and from ·Russia to avoid fighting in Lhe army. ""Many of the young male immigran ts were draft dodgers. basically." Seller pointed out. But these people had personal initiati ve, in tegrit y a nd an enormous amoun t of courage. she said./ Women who rebelled against their families weren't looked upon very kindly. but they often had the strength this coun try needed .

"They especially want something better for their childreh; the fu ture." This_ is a feeling shared by all immigrants to this country, she satd , from those who came on the Mayflower to present-Pay pilgrims. S eller has wri tten several books On immigrants, including To Seek America: A History of Ethnic Life in 1he United States: Immigrant Wom en, and Ethnic Theater in the United States. She also wrote a monog raph on the history of education of ethnic people in Buffalo. . Immigrants s hare a com mon pur~ pose in seeki ng a beue r fu ture. but each g ro up has its own s pecific goals. Most people th ink the Pilgrims came here for religious freedom . but that's not quite right. Seller noted . ..They~ wan ted freedom to do th ei r \\n thing. but not to let o th ers d o tfici rs. ··said the hi sto r ian. The Pi · came to havet hei rown kind of co,mn;;'uni ty. but were not tolera nt of o thers, she explained. Other groups had the same idea and most of t he co lo ni es had an establi shed religion. But because so ma ny different grou ps came over, a kind of .. live and let li ve" philoso phy took over. Seller said. A second reason for this allitude was th at it became apparent that more and mo re settlers were needed ...T hat was more important than peo ple's prej ud ices. •• J But rese ntm ent of imm igran t!! has bee n wi th us si nce the stan . ."R ese nt mcnt goe~ all the way back." she said ... There were a r gu men ts that the immigrant s presented unfair economic compe ti- tio n starting in colonial America: that th ey would ta ke too la rge a perce ntage of su ppl ies. "Historically, immigrant s have produced more than they used. I would argue th is is still the case." Benjami n Franklin wanted to cut off immigratio n to Pe nn sylvania because it was o ne-thi rd German and he was afraid Pennsylvania wou ld become a German-speaking state. Washington said the im migran ts were all "'stu p id"' beca use they didn 't s peak Engl is h, Seller add ed. Bu t as the immigrants arrived in Pennsylvan ia, the po pulatio n increased. increasing the dema nd for real esta te. P roperty val ues rose and imm igrati o n was not cu t off, she noted. Immig ration was cu t off for Asians in 1882. however. because of prejudice and beca u ~e people on the west coast resented th e economic competition. )he said. The sa me sort of co nni ct manifests itse lf today. Ranch ers and industry in the so uthwest depend o n an immigrant workforce. "There's a feeling against immigra- ti o n bcca~:~se of unemployment , "Seller '" But it's not qui te thai simple. "'I f tncsc people don"t work on a ranch in th e south\\C.) t. it doesn't mean there11 be more jobs for steelworkers in Lackawanna. Immigr ation is not a cause for unemployment in Western ew York ." Im migrant~ were often used a~ ~capegoats for problems. Around 1850. there w~ a heavv influx c.. German and Irish. At lhe same time , urban slums. poverty. and crime grew .. It was said th a t the immigran ts brought these problems of urbanization with them. •· But it didn) matter if the people came (to the cit ies) from the American farms o r from Europe,'' Seller said. "U rbaniz.ation was growi ng Jaster th an se rvices." The prob lem was caused by the increased po pul ation in the cit ies, whatever its origi n. Immigrants were also blamed for labor problems. "Labor un ions would have risen with or without the immigrants." Seller main ta ins. " Labo r u nrest is as American as apple pic." The immigrants were simply participating in a process that was already here. -But ifsomeof the labor activists were .foreign-born or had foreign accents. it f.Vas blamed on foreig ners.'' she said. Anoth er th ing th e Pilgrims and later immigrants have in co mmon is the Puritan wo rk ethic. Seller asserts. "Maybe the Pilgrims were the first to bring it over. but it cuts across all ethn ic groups.'' s he said. " I'm struck in my research by the incredible amounts of work they did . They"d farm land nobody else wanted and make it work out of sheer dint of labor. •• Another important contribu tion of immigrants is that they wou ld help o ne a nother. "Imm igran ts use their own communities as a ba e.'' Seller said. '' It's a la~nching pad into American life." ~aid. • See lmm l9ranls, page 10 A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS � 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.

A.L TBACH ust a year ago. the Nationa.l Commission on Excellence in Education issued its repon and. for the first time in more than a decade. education became an issue of public concern. The Commission. and a number of other reports, called for improvements in public education ranging from lengthening the school day to reinstating higher standards for graduation. The high schools were singled out for special criticism. Those reports have had ~orne impact. The New York State Board of Regents, for example, issued its '~Action Plan" and school districts b.ave been involved in thinking about how to improve educational standards. However, the massive funding needed for real change ttas not been forthcoming and so far the "excellence movement .. has been as much taJk as action. One of the big problems has been that ttie Reagan Administration has made it clear that funtiing will not he provided from federal money - since World War II the main source for educational improvement and innovation. Nevertheless, excellence in education is on the minds of educators as well as the public. ow. the excellence war has been escalated to the higher educati on level. The new "Report on Excellence in Undergradua te Education" will doubtless focus debate on higJw ed ucation and may even produce some changes. It is wonhwhile to look at the repon snd its recommendations as well as its background . The repon. has some surprising features. It calls for less specialization and less of a technological orientation for the nation"s colleges. It stresses the importance of the liberal artS and of general education as an important pan of the bachelor's degree. Colleges are asked to pay more attention to the welfare of their students, both in terms of a carefull~ crafted curriculum and by ensuring good teaching and adequate support services. The colleges are asked to raise their standards of admission and to insisttttat students have a well rounded secondary school preparation. Unlike the earlier excellence repons, the Study Group on the Conditions of Excellence in American Higher Education does not launch a full scale attack on the colleges and universities. Institutions of higher teaming are recognized for having done a basically good job. but they are criticized for letting the basic ttllSSion of higher education slip away in the social unrest ofthe 1960s and the vocational atmosphere of the 1970s. J he Repon cites some alarming statistics: half of the students who start college with the intention of getting a bachelor's degree drop out before finishing; one of ~igbt very able lfigh school seniors chooses not to attend college; scores in most categories of the Graduate Record Examination have declined between 1964 and 1982. Increasing numbers of students in colleges choose narrow vocational ~pecialties. S:eep declines have been noted in the physical sciences. biological sciences. and in tbe sociaJ sciences. Professional fields have increasingly erected barriers so that students cannot obtain a broad liberal arts background. The teaching profession has also suffered. College and university faculties have lost about 20 per cent of their pyrchasing power in the past decade. The proportion of faculty wlii) teach part-time (and who therefore do not have a real commitment to their T positions) has risen from 23 per cent in 1966to 41 per cent in 1980. The proportion of entering college freshmen who intend to pursue careers as college professors has declined from 1.8 per cent in 1966 to 0.2 per cent in J 982 - an 89 per cent decline. Colleges and universities have grown in size, and there has been a corresponding decline of morale and in the conditions of learning in the .. mass .. universities. For example. while enrollments have increased nearly 400 per cent since 1950, the number of instit utions grew by only 40 per cent. American colleges tion with faculty members and a hener social and academic environment. Ensure that the use of learning technologies (such as computers) he used in conjunction with faculty and not as a replacement for good teaching. Reduce the number of part-time faculty: . • Raise expectations for educauon by ensuring that all students have at least two years of a thoughtfully designed liberal arts curriculum that not only teaches the basic sciences, English and the humanities but also ensures that a student can think and reason. The liberal arts curriculum should he improved "It will be difficult to force students to take liberal arts courses they think lead nowhere" and universities are, in general, "'enrollment driven" in that their budgets depend on bow many students enroll. In the public sector, the state funds public universities (such as SUNY) on the basis of how many students enroll. and if targets are not met. budgets are reduced. In the private sector, institutional survival sometimes depends on maintaining enrollments. Thus, the colleges must worry about maintaining their .. headcouots"'- even at the expense of loweri_ng admissions standards, shifting curricular priorities to areas that wiiJ attract students or through other means. he Repon recommends a large number of specifiC steps that, it is claimed, will improve the quality of undergraduate education. There are 27 specific proposals.

These seemingly straightforward suggestions have major implications for how American higher education is structured. The colleges would have to restrain their students from choosing vocationally-oriented subjects, would have to design new testing programs (assessi ng learning is one of the most difficult parts of academic life), would have to add guidance counselors and ot hers to the staff. The Report recommends raising faculty salaries t o keep qualified staff, raise morale, and ensure the future of the teaching profession. or ~hirt y years. American higher education has had a strong commitment to provide access to an ever wider segment of the population - women, F D1rector of Pubhc Affa1 rs HARRY JACKSON blacks, older people and the working class have gone to college in unprecedented numbers. The Report hardly mentions these groups and says liule about higher education's commitment to broaden the horizons of the American people. The thrust toward excellence is a basically elitist development . It is in response to an increasingly com- I petitive world and to a perception Offalling standards in education generally, but the ..excellence movement" seems to he giving up an important element of the American educational dream. We are given lilLie guidance concerning how these changes are to he financed . increased faculty salaries, new assessment programs, curricular innovations, and the like cost money. The federal government (which funded this report) is nol in the mood to spend money on education. The states have their own financial problems. Tuition at private colleges is already high. Without fund~. few of the reforms will happen. Higher education policy is shaped , to a considerable extent. by what the public wants. Today's students are vocationally oriented . They want a degree that will bring employment in an increasingly compeutive job market. Employers want specific skills. AU this may he a mistake -but it will he very difficult indeed to force students to take liberal arts courses which they perceive will lead nowhere. In the 1960s, there was public support for expanding the horizons of higher education. ow. there is an interest in having the colleges directly serve the job market. Educational leadership is needed if even a modest redirection of the curriculum and of the direction of higher educauoft is to be implemented. Then there is the question of enrollments. Most American colleges and uni.versilifS, in the difficult Eighties, would be hesitant indeed to institute policies that might reduce enrollments. Predic· tions, for example, in New York State indicate tbatthe college age population will decline by a substantial pereenla$e in tbe coming years. Thus, colleges wtll he competing for fewer potential students. Perhaps Harvard and Yale will he able to institute reforms that go against current student preferences. raise slalldards for graduation, and make a success of iL II is unlikely that the large majority of American colleges will he able to make such changes.

AI these institutions, changing the basic values of the academic system will he extremely difficult. For the majority of cgllcges, professors are evaluated for their teaching primarily and it is difficult to see bow they will pay more attention to thei r teaching, particularly since the Report's stress on assessment (testing) would mean a c~n­ siderable change in established praCLJce. igher education is now in the spotlight. We can expect further analyH sis and investigation and a certain amount of hand-wringing. Most in the education community will favor the Report's main recommendations - that a good general education is an important part of the bachelor's degree and that vocationalism has gone too far. Most will also applaud the desire to raise standards and to bring a sense of coherence to undergraduate life. The thrust of this report is very much in • See Report, page 10 Execut1ve Editor.

Weinbaum focuses on feminism, patriarchy in two books By AL BR B graduate s tudent Batya \Veinbaum, inOuenced by the turbulent 60s and propelled by her research on women's issues and radical feminist theory. ha s published two books on women's roles and the marketplace. Courtship of U Women's Liberation and Socialism ( 1978) and PiclUres of Patriarchy ( 1983). ow a teaching assistant in the Women's Studies Program, Weinbaum . 32. has worked as a photographer. journalist, social worker, consultant . writer-in-res id ence, and as a directo·r of developme n tal research . That rich bacl:«round informs her writing. In The Curious Courtship, Weinbaum addressed the basic issues divid,ing Marxist feminists and radical feminists..; illustrating how Marxism and feminism have challenged each other and how both streams of thought have benefitted from this ideological clash. ''Ma rxi sm mad e lht most sense of the world to me after having been in Latin America ~n the early 70s)."" sard Weinbaum. ··Marxism is about change and society in motion: it 's an integrated whole. and the re' an interrelatio nship among all the components. There's no se paration; it puts eve r y thing in t o persPective.'' After accepting the Marxist political philoso ph y. Wein baum began quest ion· ing Marxist ideology when s he realized it didn't have " a female pers pective. " s he explains. " It ca me from a mal e perspective, it didn't look at wo men as part of social history and that bothered . me ... In PiciUres of Patriarchy . Weinbaum looks aJ th e world of work through the lens of the fa.mily. S he define s the workplace in term s of family ro les of ··Father-Brother-Daughter-Wife" and how these roles determine what kind of a job o ne will get and the kind of skills and rewards one can expect. The b ook advance s th e theory of .. sex ual pol itical economy " which , in effect, contends that men and women experience the wor ld of work differently. Weinbaum explains the term : -sexual political economy looks at the interaction of the objective structure of the world of work in the patriarch y of advanced industr ia l capitalism as we know it today and the contour of consciousness bro ught by the s ubjects to the workplace as it has been formalized in the early Oedipal relations in th e nuclear family."" S . he discloses in Pictures of Patriarchy some personal problems and frustrations that ultimately led her to investigate the dilemma experienced by-women in the workplace. She maintains that women sometimes ex perience a great deal of difficult y in sec uring emp loyment. \Veinbaum cites so me problems s he had i ~ seeking employme nt as a woma n in the field of pho tography: '' I was often told I couldn't have a job because I was a woman . At a museum I was denied a job as photograph y assistant beca use they th o ught I cou ld n"t lift statue s: a modelling agency to ld me I could n ' t entice m o del s sex ua ll y t o photograph them for fas hio n portfolios.·· she reco unted . l "Even when I got a job print ing in a darkroom. the manager u~cd to come in and lay his hand s on me. While selling film tn a photography !!.tore 10 Harva rd Square. the boys selling c<~mercc. ~arned more per hour than I did. in addition to making co mmi ssions.

I had to go to the basemen t to hide," she writes . A s a photographer, We inb a um said , seeing women's work rol es in Lat in America in the 70s through the lens of a camera was frustrating because what she saw wasn't what she wanted to see. That was extremely bothersome for her. .. Through Marxis m I could not lea rn about women - particularly a bou t th e structural reorganization which might lead to liberation . Here I noticed a tremendous gap bet ween what I read and what I saw. The gap became so g rea t a Balya Weinbaum year later o n a visit to Cu ba th a t I put a way pho tography. I didn"t want to sec. I couldn't withsta nd the conflict bet\Joeen t he ideas abou t wo men 's li beration ( wo men's participation i n work would free them g raduall y) and what I saw thro ugh my ca mera (a clear photograph· able workplace d ivisio n in to sex roles as pervasive as in C hile). I naively th o ught putting away the ca mera would solve the co nflict for me," she writes. .. But," s he no w says. '' putt ing away the camera didn't so lve the problem . I was just ignoring it. " robably the most personally reveali ng P item in Weinba um's books was her di sclos ure that she was. in fact. a rape s urvivo r earlier in her life . She says that "S uc h an understanding might be helpful in gui d ing peo ple toward more effective poli t ica l choices in worl-rs;latcd si tu ations although the conclusions of the books advocate women dropping o ut of the mainstream and creating their O\lo n autonomou-. \truct ure-. uf v.nrl analogou-. to the .kw!- · t..' rt..•atwn of Kahhut11m i.l .!l a l<llc p tn overcome Cl'Oilt\mac marginalit) 1n ano th er hi~torit:al period.·· s he said . ..

One is the question of "'who con trols them - faculty or administration;" another is what she sees as th e .. pretense"' that the fellowships are gifts to departmrolS. To th e contrary, she says, "they take real lines fro m departments and increase the workload." · TAs in some departments are carrying a two-cOurse workload .. norm,"'Ciurcza.k cha rges, even though official Grad School guidelines state that one course should be the norm .. except in times of financial problems ...

T GA/TA From page 3 in the 70s: low pay. The current base pay ... at the University of Michigan is approximately $6700. plus nion benefits, Zacharek and Ciurczak report. In CU Y in 1982, the figure was $5,000 and GAs an d TAs there have since received built-in cost-of-living increases. Here. the two contend. the present base of S4300 amounts to a 40-50 per cent decrease in buying power since th e mid-60s.

Students at UB can do research at the niversity's Center for the Study of Aging. which was started in 1975. said Dr. Lester Smith. its director. People are living longer than they were. he said. because of the better medical care they\•e recei \'ed throughout their who le lives. This may include high-te ch proccd ures such as heart bypass surgery or kidney transplants that they receive as adults. But it also includes t echniques like vaccinations which were received as children. or prenatal care that helps bot h the baby and mother. Smith said. Nutri tion. exercise, health insurance. and a society that encourages the elderly to stay active also share in the credit. Co mputers find their way int o the field of aging, too. Smith is trying to develop a computer program to help people make preretirement decisions about finances. He wants to program questions so the individual can plug in numbers and come up with a personal analysis. He wants it to be sim ple enoug h fo r th e average perso n to ·use. " What I'm trying to do is put it on a personal computer program so they can si t in front of their computers. which more of us have today, and get a personal analysis as th ey approach retirement ." Smith said. not her place students can conduct work is the Nuclear Science and Technology Facility, built in 1959. ..The first reactors weren't around until World War II ," said Louis G. Hen ry, director of the facility at UB. " '59 is A actua lly prett y early in the nuclear era." Information was classified during World War fl. Eisenhower's- Atoms for Peace" progra m began in the early 1950s and it takes a few years to build a facilit y, He nry noted. UB's facilit y is used for analytical work a nd research, he said. It routinely provides isotopes to researchers. It also teaches research techniques and radiation safety. Things have come a long way in 30 years. "It was a pretty crude industry at that point, .. Henry said . .. Oppenheimer was still around. You could ask Einstein what he thought. " In the libraries. the first techn ological revolution came wi t h the photocopying machine. said C.K. Huang, director of the Healt h Sciences Library. The libraries didn't have a copying machine until the early 1960s. he said. Another revolution ca rne in 1968 when the first on-line information retrieval system. called the SUNY Biomedical l etwork. was available to the SUNY medical libraric About 30 libraries were included . The system docs a computer search to get a list of articles a person might want on a certain topic. The set-up was new at the tim e. "We were leaders. really: pioneers:· Hu ang said. . In 1976, a private company took over, he said. Many academic fields. not just biomedicine. are now included. "These data bases use thousands and thousands of journals."

There a re more than 3.000 journals in the medical library alone, he pointed out. The " Readers' Guide to Periodical Liter· ature .. might have references for only 100 popular journals. U 8 also has fou r interlib rary loan sys- . terns which are partially automated. Huang s3id. The ·libraries are moving_ toward an integrated system where a computer would be used in circulation, reserve , catalog, interlibrary loa n. and acquisi tion. "T said ech nol-;,gy iS;Changing so rapidly ,·· Jamet And erson, assistant A. and set a workload norm across the system; it could em bod y a "no cuts" policy, "realistic" job descriptions, "realistic'" grievance procedures, and health and retirement benefits; job posting and standardized, enfo rceable hiring practices could be guaranteed across the University. So could a consisten t policy on leaves of ab ence. Grad student employees have none of these safeguard s and amenities now, say Zacharek and Ciurczak, although University officials could not and would not agree. The presen t grievance system. Ciurczak notes , is a closed system within the Universi ty; there 's no way to get an o utside arbitrator involved. Job posting and hiring practices vary from depanment to department. Some TAs and GAs ha ve no work res ponsibilities during the long semester break while others' do. Without a contract. the two organizers contend. there's no protection either against the ''bait-and-switch" ploy which they insist is still used in graduate student recruitment. That tactic involves offering a very high and attractive initial stipend · to lure a student, then cuuing back in the second-year at a point when most are settled-in and can' deal with the thought of going elsewhere. Technically, thi s can be done because stipends are based on a year-t.o-year budgeting process. On this issue, though, the two organizers point out, GSEU has already begun "acting like a union.·· Two st udents have been saved from a .. bait-and-switch" by the organization's in tervention. Sure , administrators say they "deplore" this tactic, but there's now no "written policy .. sayin.s .it won't happen , Ciurczak con- di rector and associate for instructional resources , Educational Communications Center. The center was started in the late 1950s. It provides faculty with films, charts, graphs, videotapes, and other media aids. · Electronic equipment has gotten better and cheaper, he noted. ··Television cameras used to be huge," Anuerson said. One used in education 20 years ago might have cost $30,000 and have been unreliable . ow, a studio camera might cost $17,000. A portable camera might be about $5,000. And in the 1950s. there was no color television, he pointed out. A video recorder/ player might have cost S 15,000 or S 18,000 15 years ago, he said. Now. a better unit th at's more reliable is on ly abou t $2.500. Cassett e machines were around in the late 1960s. but you had to have an operator with them because they we re touchy. Equipment now is more reliable and easier to use. he noted. No matter what kind of advances find their way into th e classroom. they're of no use to the student if he doesn't find his way there. too. The process of getting stud ents into the proper courses has also been affected by technology. Sandy Bud 7)'11Ski. credentials assistant in the Office of Records and Registration. has seen many changes in the registration process in her I years at UB. Rcgi,tration WOJ!-1 held in the gym and it could he an all-da\ C\Cilt lor a ~tudcnt. Oepartment!-1 had l'ard lor each ~pal'C in a class. The student would wait in line at the table for each department and collect a card for each course he needed. If he was' closed out of a course. he'd have to wait around and hope somebody dropped the course. and turned in a card. Budzynski explained. Pre-registration saves a lot of time now. The student picks up the course material chooses his courses, and turns in the material a week later. "Most get what they want.·· Budzynski said ... Then they don't even have to drop / add." Drop / add is a relatively sim ple proce· dure now. too. To add a course. the student fills ou t a form. hand s it to a computer terminal o perator and is registered . she said. "Now, if a student ha s to wait an hour or an hour and a half. th0.1t·~ a lot.'' Hud - a tends. With a contract . he argucs,'lhere would be guarantees. At Wisconsin. for example. he notes. the un ion guarantees a continuing stipend level after one year. The Graduate School administration doc:, more than deplore the bait-and!<lv. itch tactic. according to Barba. '' In every instance "here wc\e di~co­ vcred such action ha.!t taken place. we have interceded with department.., on behalf of students," he says. Further, he indicated that - with or without any union - it is the Provost's office intention to eliminate this practice. It has in fact , been eliminated '"for the most part.he indicated. The GSEU spokespersons feel that the organi7..ation's presence at UB has already had an impact. For example, in the past two years, GAs and TAs - while still lagging behind - )lave received the same percentage pay hikes as faculty and staff. Money matching the UUP raise has a lways been available for TA / GA lines. according to Ciurczak, but wasn't always used for that purpose. As its organizing drive goes on throughout the University, the organization ''hopes to have an increasing amount of impact in at least keeping people informed about their rights and their inte rests, and in finding creative ways to have issues resolved in favor of graduate stude m s. This work goes on - with or without a contract," Ciurczak notes. .. We have to ac1 like a union," he repeats, .. for without a un ion, nothing will be guaranteed to TAs and GAs except what they won '1 get. .. .. That's 1heir opinion," said an administrative spokesperson who declined to be identified lest he be accused of a stab at .. union busting." 0 1yn~ki commented . h~enabled echnology some students to be at .U 8 who might otherwise not T have been able to attend . ··Phenomen31 advance~ have been made in t he last 10 or 15 years." said Arthur Burke, director of services for the handicapped .

Electric door openers in the libraries are a marvelous invention for the handicapped, he added. The Lockwood and Main St. libraries each have a Kurzweil reading machine for the blind. A student put a printed page on the machine and the page is read in a spoken voice. Burke said. The ever-present computer can have special adaptations for the handicapped.

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.

In 1980, it was Caner, the incumbent, against Reagan, In 1976, it was Ford, the incumbent, aga.J.nst Carter. In 1960,11 was Nixon (he was vice president so ~e'll co nsider him the incumbent ) agamst Kennedy. .. In every debate the incumbent lost ... said Gerald M. Goldhaber, chairman of the Department of Communication at UB and president of Goldhaber Resea rch Associates, a polling firm . Goldbaber calls d~ ates "the great equalizer"' because they give ex posure to the non-incumbent. By being on th e same stage as the president, th~ oppo£!ent is associated with th e pres1dency m th e mind of the voter. In each of the three previous cases, the incumbent Jost th e election as well as the debate. With that kind of history, why would Reagan debate this year? "He shouldn't ha ve," Gpldhaber replied. ~ I think it was a mistake." Nixon dido' debate in 1968 or 1972, but Reagan probably thought he'd get too much flak if he decided not to. Goldhabe r said. He could have easily made an excuse and .. looked presidentiaL" Then Mon dale would have seemed like he was whining ... Let me in , let me in" if he pressed, Goldhaber said. .. As it turned out. though it d idn't matter anyw3y ... he added. Reagan had a huge lead going into the firs t debate. then sli pped in the polls a few points. But he regained the lead - and then some - after the second debate. " He had one off- nig ht . that's au:· Goldhaber assened. The pollster said he's not a Reagan apologist . but recognizes th at the man is a polished actor. I here are differences between this year's debate and the three others mentioned . T he previous debates had close races: the race in 1960 was one of th e closest ever. Go ldhaber said. "You had lousy candidates." he said of the others . "You also had troubled times." Carter went in to th e 1980 debate trailing. He had problems with th e Iranian situation. Ford had problems with the Watergate pardon. Then there were the debate gaffes. like "hen Ford gave awa y Poland. Goldhabt:r recalled . T Nixon wore a white shirt and no makeup. which contrasted with th e tanned Kenned y. This co uld be considered a gaffe. "They didn 't understand TV then, " Goldhaber said. ''They thought th eir words would carry their message." But that's not how it works in television ... It 's the image." he explained. In 1980. Carter mentioned how he chatted with young daughter Amy about nuclear war. "The press decided it was a gaffe ... Goldhaber said . In this year's debates. Reagan went in with a large lead . He had a good television presence. And these are times of peace and prosperity. Goldhaber said. There were no major gaffes. u t what about the second debate B when Reagan talked abou t the poor leadership of the last four years? "The media passed if off as a misstatement. .. Goldhaber said . "The definition of a gaffe. I guess. is you have to give away Eastern Europe." Then , of course. there was Rea gan 's 10- or 20-second meandering as he groped for words during the first debate. "The debate gave the media the chance to create th e age factor ... Goldhaber said. The sa me rep o rters have followed th e president around for a year and a half.

The media got the chance to make an issue because there was a large audience for the deba tes, Goldhaber con tended . • "H Reagan isn\ hurting in Erie County, where is he hurting?" With Reagan's I 0-second episod e. Mondale looked better there, too. lp the second debate, though, things were a bit different. There was th eReagan-Mandate comparison which wa~ a draw. and, in effect. a Joss for Mondak. Goldhaber said. You can al o compare Monda le\ performances in the tw o deb ate ... Mondale looked like Snoopy becau;c h" eyes were so baggy in the second outing. Goldhaber said. and he loSI t hat comparison.

Goldhaber said . ~He "asn't great in the ~ccond dc:hJtL· he just squeaked by." he said. \Vith the lowered expectations. all hL' had to do was tell a joke or two and not fall apart to come out ahead. Goldhabt:r a~se~~ed. But if 1he second debate had bcl!n CLHnparcd in tead to hh earlier campaigning when he used a telepr-ompter. Rea gan would ha ve lost on the comparison. "Nobody watches press co nferen ces except the media and th e political j unk ies." he said. The media .. creat ed the age factor so th ey could make a close election and sell more papers. "The media was looking for a story. A 20-point lead in an election is a yawner." Then, in the second debate. Reagan's joke Jlbout age was highlighted and the issue disappeared.

Even the citizens of the Soviet Union are in some way affec te d by economic circu mstances here - the grain connectio n is one example. Under these circumstan ces. it may be observed parenthetically, the suggestion by a Latin American politi cian th at every adult in the world should have a vote in the U.S. preside nt ial election does not seem so ludicrous after all.

Almost everyone interviewed believes Ronald Reagan will be returned to power for four more years. The only dissent was th ai of an Algerian, Ojaffar lboroudene, who argued that the o pinion polls can not be trusted, however scientifi c they may appear to be. _ ~...-- - - t here are a variety of reasons why most pr:~i£: a!cag~n vict~rt. ____ _ Some credit the President"s popularity to his economic policies. As one P olish citizen (who prefers not to be ident ified) poin ted out , Reagan. unlike Mondale, bas 1he advantage of presenting a co here nt economic policy based on a logical economic model beca use of his sta un ch supp ort fo r a purer version of capitalism. Fortunately for Reagan it is a model th at appears to be working. at least in the eyes of the publ ic. Mondale. on th e o1her hand. is handi capped by 1he fac1 that the Democratic Party's alternative to the Reagan eco nomic model cannot be a genuine alternative. given that they have to work wi th in t he confines of the American version of capitalism (which. unlike in Western Europe, for example. is co mpletel y intolerant of any en trepreneurial activity on the part of the State). Therefore. th is Polish student continues. the most th at the Democratic alternat ive can be is an aggregate of hapha1.ard stopgap economic measure s. rather than a coheren t po licy a Ia Reagan . This explanation would ce rt ainly fi nd sy mpath y amo ng memb e rs of the National Assoc iation of Bu siness Economists - 64 per cent of whom in a recent survey felt t hat Reagan had the ''bes t pl a n for fixing economic pro blems, •· while o nly 9 per cent sided with Mondale. games almost led him to believe that so me of the results had been ..enginee red" to favor the U.S . Discussing the political significance of the games, Univers:ity of Chicago anthropologist John MacA loon 10ld In Theu Times: "The Olympics were like Grenada number two.

Reagan is si mpl y cashing in o n thi s, adds Sandra Diseg ni of Italy. She feels I he President had the go od fo rtun e to take over th e White H ouse at a p oint where the economy had reached the bottom of the cyclica l trou gh. Those interviewed offered two more explanation~ for Reagarl's po pularity: the · American public's im pat ie nce with things - political.-cou pled with a penchant for style and imagery(c harisma ); and a resu rgence of unashamed jingoism. Thus. an Eth io pia n a nd a German (both of whom decli ned to be identified) assc~!-1 that the criti cal factor in th e success of Reaga n ha!-1 been hb a bility to manipulate the media to projec t an image co n si~ tcnt with the American public's view of what a leade r ought to look like an ima£C inco nsiste nt with actual policie!ol and polit ica l behavio r.

Manjeet Singh fell that . unlike Mond al e. Reagan would pursue a hawkis h foreign policy and place wo rld peace in jeo pa rd y . He also feh 1he burgeoning U.S . defici t preci pitated by runaway .. cold-war" defense ex penditure s and projected to break the tw o lril/ion mark in th e summer of 1986 will not be checked by Reagan . Tbe student from Eth1opia agreed Reagan i no t sincere i.n reso \ving international problems. and represent s a considerable threa t to world peace. He also felt that Mondale is more humane a nd more likely io further social justice. Jose Agudelo of Colom hta favored Monda lc because tn hi'' tew he has a better undcr'\tanding of th e problems facing Lat in America. He also referred to Reagan's age. sayi ng it concerned him beca use. on the basis of th e debates. he co uld o bserve that I he President wa s not in co mmand o f the technical iss ues rai sed. Th is. he feel s. could present a dangerous situat ion in ci rcumstances where , for ins tan ce, the use of nuclear weapons is brought up. Simila rl y. Patrick Murphy no1ed that the whole disarmament bu siness is a dangerous chess game and that Reagan lacks the intellectu al capaci t y to understand and learn the rules. A few of those interviewed did favor Re agan. A Palestinian felt Reagan's vic t ory would be beneficial to the Palestinian cause because his support for Jews i!ol ''less strident" th an Mondale's. J a pan's Sadao Yoshi felt his nation wo uld s tand t o gain from a Reagan victory because Reagan is more of a freetrade r. while Mali's Boubaker Sidibe think s Reagan's insistence on a stro.n"' defcrt!,C a~ a deterrent w So \ 1et aggrc.\!>iOn enhance..' the l"hancc... fo r peace. The general perce ption one ge ts from talking to ci tizens of foreign countries on c ampu s about th e electio n is one of profound consterna tion. How can a man wh o jo kes about bombing the Sov ie t nion . who falls asleep in cabine t meetings. wh o bro ke the prom ise of wo rking toward a balanced budget. who refuses to talk to the Russians. who seems to have little concern for the needs of the poor. and who seems to want to turn the clock back regard ing civil rights be reelected by the very people who stand to . lose the most ( work i ngcl~ s Democrats)'! As journalist Davd Corn found on his recent t rip to Europe. it is a perplexity that has afflicted many abroad as well: "From beac h bums in Nice t o peace activists in Budapest." 0 nother im portant ingredient indentified in Reagan's recipe for success is the recent orchestratio n by the Republ icans of patri ot ic fervor among America ns. Clearly, says Patrick Murphy of Ireland, a ~ot of Reagan's s upport is based oil emotional appeal.

Where once the conflic1 ran alo ng traditional lines male vs. female, liberal vs. conservative, property owner vs. entrepreneur, ":Iiddle class mores vs. lowerclassdegradat1on or up per class deca de nce - it has now inse rt ed itse lf in the ve ry mids t of t he dive rse coali tion known collectively as "the women ·s movement ... and is poised to shatter it. · . T here were several fla re ups of this conflic t du ri ng a d ay-long program titled "Fem inist Discourse, Moral Va lues and th e Law: In T heory a nd P ract ice" held Octo ber 19 as t he Law School's annual J ames M cCor mack M itchell Lectu re. The event fea tured two ...conversations, .. the fi rst of which included Mary Dunlop, a San Francisco attorney and co-founder of Eq u a l R ights Ad vocates, a pu bl ic in te rest law fir m, and Cathenne Mac Kinnon. law professor at the Univers ity of Minnesota and author of Sexual Harassment of Working ~Yomen; Isa bel M a rc us, associa te professo r of law, moderated. T he second ··con~ersa­ t ion .. bro ugh t together educational psychologist ·carol Gilligan of the Harvard Graduate School of Eeycation, author of the acclai~d In a Different Voice and MSmagazine's 1983 "Woman of the Year,., and Carrie MenkeiMead ow, UCLA professor of law. Moderating was UB law professor Paul J. Spiegelman. After the two sessions. paneli~t~ were joined by Ellen C. DuBois. UB a.s~ociatc professor of his·lOry, in a period of ''Reflections,·· the serenity of which wa!> dest royed when the issue of pornography and how the women's movement should deal with it was introduced. The question had been tackled .in the first session by Dunlop and MacKinnon, a session Spiegelman later described as :·e lectrifying" (tl)e Repo rter did not attend that discussion). MacKinnon sees pornography as presenting a clear and immediate danger to women. an inducement to rape and sexual abuse that must be identified and destroyed as an e nemy on the attack . Dunlop takes a more "'liberal," legal-centered view. The conflict flared durin g DuBois" historical analysis of the American feminist movement. During the past 10 to 15 years, she said, the feminist movement has changed its focus from an attack on sexjs m with its overemphasis on distinctions of gender to inc reasing awareness on the distinctions between male and female. or. as DuBois put it, "discovering women's true power· and ·•freeing women to be women." A similar transition occurred in the late 18th century. she noted. Un til1860-1 870. the feminist movement concentrated on equal rightt. primarily the right to vote. Spokeswomen like Eli1abeth Cady Stanton campaigned for the vote on the basis that women. just like men. deserve esse ntial human rights. This primarily political movement evolved into what is now called '"domestic" feminism. which cle\•ated women on the basis of attribute~ that distinguish them from men. assuming that women are by nature more moral and ··goo d " and would be a positive influence on socie ty . These feminists campaigned for th e VIlle by promising that women would reform society. This transition , which expanded popular suppo rt for female suffrage. led to o ther refo rm efforts. DuBois said. includi ng an antipornography feminist position. The WCTU included obscene literature as one of its targets. In 1873, the Comstock Act was passed banning transportation of obscene matter through the mails. Other laws raised the age of con~ent. toughened divorce ~te~tutcs and "protected" female and child laborers. These developments, while hailed by feminists at the time , were a doubleedged sword , DuBois added. Margaret a11ger-wasiailed \IMer-t'he-ComS1ock ~E!.f2!_ J!l__Clili nJt ~Cl!l!':.~~cp_t iv~ inform a- L F erninist discourse Heated exchanges on pornography and the roots of women's oppression punctuate session at Law School tion. Divorce laws kept women trapped in unwan ted marriages. R aising the age of consen t sent more wo men to jail for sex c rimes. And pro tective labor legislat ion banned women from ma ny jobs and limited their work hours, thereby lim iting t hbr ear n ings and relegating them to low-level jobs. DuBois drew hisses from some members of the audience when she stated , '""Women create everything, including their own domination and oppression. They arc not just objects of historical action which only men make. The grganized women 's moveme nt of the c•rly 20th century ( helped pass legislation) that resulted in the oppression of women. whatever the intent." MacKinnon objected, declaring, .. People who are powerless have little control over the consequences of their actions:· She added that the previously discussed laws made little impact on the oppression of women, .. who are always at the bopom.·· fter a heated exchange, in which MacKinnon charged that historians like DuBois ··obscure,. women's oppressio n by focusing on political movements instead of realities and "distort" women's efforts to protect themselves and their children, panelists turned to the nature of · opp ression and power. Mac Kinn on said the only real positive step forward for women will come when there is no more rape . She also criticized Gilligan's A "Extolling the caring, feminine stereotype in a maledominated world only leads to being shafted." concept of the female "'different voice.·· which she said is .. the voice of t he victim ... By extoll ing th e caring. fe min ine stereotype as one inherent in females. Gilligan ignores the real power issues. MacKinnon said. "Those values under a male dominated system lead t o being shafted.·· she added . Gilligan protested that interpretation. saying that MacKinnon was using the male defini tion of power. "We've never had the power to deve lop what our values are .·· Ma c K in non retorted. At that point , Dunlop jumped from her chair and declared . .. 1 am not subordi nate to any man ... She invited o ther women who did not feel su bordinate to rise: about half the audience did . Dunlop said. '"We've all bee n ~ ubordinatc to defin i ti on~ here: v.h O's raqjcal. who's feminbt. \\h<tt kind of sex is good. who gets to talk ."" The ·debate among the panelists subsided when MacKinnon left to catch a plane, but a me"?ber of the audiei_tce later con tinued the dtscuss1on by askmg why pornography ~a~ so infla~matory an issue both wtthm and wtthout the feminist movement. Menkei-Meadow commented, "We keep seeking a reductionist explanation (for relationships) behind which we can all unify . Since this problem ts so complicated, tension develops around 1t. One of the powers of feminism is that it works not just in the political area, but in psycbology, medicine, law. in the ho~e, etc. All these spheres are aspects of hfe and feminism has brought them all m as important. That makes issues complicated, when we can.'t all -agree on the different spheres." ' DuBois felt that because it is a sex ual issue, pornography is inflamed by emotions ... Pornophobia is drawn upon." s he said , adding, '" the right wing has taken control of the pornography issue. It 's tragic I hat we're focusing on pornography and not abonion, which is the issue that will determine the lives and deaths of women." " I rind the antipornography approach ve ry di stracting and diffusing,"" Dunlop ~aid . .. Our anger about pornog raphy is \erv valuable. but insufficient to resolve thi problem . We must direct our energies. If we take on pornography as the image of rape and destroy it, we will have destroyed only the image." Saying that she finds ··a frightening parallel between MacKinnon and Falwell," Dunlop declared that the First Amendment does no t benefi t only males. .. There is a lot more to expression than pornography," she said. he earlier afternoon session with Gilligan and Menkei-Meadow was much more restrained , and consisted primarily of Gilligan's elaboration on the work s he presented in her book , In a Different Voice, which has been hailed as one of the most important books in developmental psyc hology in recent yea rs. In a Different Voice examines perceptions of morality and decisionmaking by males and females through an T ~nr~';:i~ ~f t!~ ;e~ nstt ~~~~s~ t ~~ n~ i ~~~~~ dtsparity bct"ccn women·~ experience and th e rcpr c~cn tat io n of human development. noted throughout the psychological literature. has ge nerall y bee n seen to signify a problem in women· de velopment. Instead. the failure of women to fit ex isting models of human growt h may point to a problem in th e representati o n. a limitation in the co nception of human condi t ion. an omission of certa in truths about life.·· Gilligan told the packed audience in 106 O"Brian that. as a psychologist. she came to the realization that she was part of ~1c ~roblem she was studying. After begtn ntng a 19 73 study of decisionmaking which queri ed women considering _abon~~ns abou t how they developed theu dec1ston. she began to notice that women we re routinely left o ut of psychological research sam ples. Why had that nc\'er been noticed. she wondered. Was it a design flaw that twisted results of studies? She noted that a researcher asked t o write a chapter o n female adolescent psychology for a 1981text had to decline after the author concl uded that not enough research on female adolesce nts had been d o ne to warrant an adequate chapte r. ··p ychologil-al re searc h ha not looked at \\Omen 's experience ... Gilligan ';ud. ··~ c:t it 1rie~ to d_£li nt• \iliat i~ a...:nur111<~1. ·· 'happy' life. Th b contri bute~ to \\ Omen'!<> di~hclicf in th eir abili ty to discuss their own reality... • Though she tempers her analysis of " male" and "female" voices by saying that certain traits are not distributed solely by gender, Gilligan said that empi rical observation led her to attribute ..caring"' and ··connections"' to the female voice, and ••fairness," .. rights," .. reciprocity" and ..justice" to the maJe voice. She ill ustrated the difference by descri bing her obseivation of two fouryear-olds, a boy and a girl, who wanted to play different games; he wanted to play pirates, and she wanted to play next~oor neighbors. The girl resolved the dispute by suggesting, "You can he the pirate who lives next door."' By finding an inclusive solution, in wl>i'ch both parties get part of what they wanted , instead of a "fair'" sol ution, which would be taking turns with the two games. the two children changed the nature of the game and created a new one. Instead of entering each other's separate worlds of .. pirates" and .. neighbors," the two transformed the games into a new world that neither had separately imagined. .. The inclusion of two voices in moral discourse transforms the discourse," Gilligan said, .. one that focuses neither on just justice or just caring but on a new process of inquiry." ointing out again that all-male resea rch sa mples are the norm in traditional psychological research. leading to the equation, human =male . she added, "We can' know about human development just by studying men . This makes all (previous theories on human development) tentative, possibly problematic. Until we take the time \o look at lives we've not looked at., all categories of judgment and assessment are provisionaL ·· The corollary to the human =male ...:4Uation is female=self-sacrifice, Gilligan concluded ... Women sacrifice themselv~ rather than challenge the first equati o n . ~ she said . Gilligan's abort io n study was the first that drew moral language from women 's experience and thought, and she found she could differentiate the two voices m the way the women approached what was defined as a moral problem, the abortion. "The way the women talked about the moral difficulty facing them was not the way the issue is seen in soCiety," she said. "They saw it not as a fight between mother and fetus; they did not deny the connection between them. Rather. then conflict arose because of the connection which physically lasted nine months but psychologically could last forever. They asked themselves if 1t was moral or immoral to deepen that attachment !n si tuations where they could not sustatn the relationsh.ip. The abonion was seen not as the 'right' thing to do but a~ 'better,' 'more responsible,' the 'lesser of two evils.' .. The primary finding of the st ud~ . Gilligan said, was the fact that ··the assu mpt io ns that underl y the 'justice' <:~pproaeh were not made'' by thes e women. Women were more split in the d irection of their moral focus. Thus. she noted. ··jf you start with a sample of men. you will empirically come to the conclusion th at moral ity is j ust icerea so ning a nd that wo men ha \ C le s~ justice than men." By including women in the develo pment of theories on moral devel opment. Gilligan said the question will shift from why women aren't as "just" as men t_o ··why men aren't representing. in thc1r formal decision-making, their realizat io_n that there is another dimension in the1r perceptions of moral judgement. ·· Menkei-Meadow described her ex periences as law student, practitio ner and professor: ··1 found I was speaking in two voices.·· Gilligan 's research "has let us loo"- at th e method of the way we look at thl' world'" and should lead to an C.'\amination of the way the legal profession approaches conflict resolution and the profession itself. she said . ..

His options are threefold and each of the possible choices can render him tremendous growt h potential · and succe s. Quinlivan, a senior with a 3.86 grade point average and a major in chemical L'nginee ring. will be highly sought after by industry and government in need ofhighlyqualificd engineering graduates. Aside from that work-related option. his outstanding academic performa'ncc has made him a sure bet for Academic ati'"al All-American honors and a Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) grad uate scholarship to the graduate ~c hool of his choice. He's presently conidc ringgraduate study at several schools with a reputable curriculum in chemical engineering as another viable alternative. The scholar-athlete's success in academics started with. " vision a few years back . .. Ever si~ early in my freshman year, I sctthe go31 of Academic All-American for myself," be said. "I've achieved well in engineering but it's hard . I've had to work at it ... because if I didn't, my grades would sliP in no time at all. You get a lot mofe out of it if you work hard at it. .. Why did he choose the chemical engineering curriculum as his field of scholarly endeavor? Quinlivan summed it up by saying, '' When I came out of high school I didn't know what I wanted to do exactly. I did well in math and the sciences and I liked chemistry so I decided on chemical engi.; neering and it worked out. .. . " The third and probably the most lucrative option available to Qui.nlivan is playing professional foo tball. Scouts from the United States Football League (USFL) and a representative from the Buffalo Bills have been in contact with the standout linebacker about · pursuing a professional career in football . The next logical question from a sports-minded observer is how does a NCAA Division Ill football player from U B have a chance at playing professio nal foo tball when there are so many excellent Division I players to compete against? U he answer . is relatively simple, according to UB Head Football Coach Bill Dand o. At 6'2" and 220 Ills., Dando pointed out, Quinlivan has the right size to be an ou tside linebacker in the pros ··and he can run a 4.5 (secon<ls) in the 40 (yard dash) and has great agility for his size.'· Another physical allrib ute that Quinlivan has to his credit is strength. He can bench press 350 lbs. with free weights and is committed to weight training all-year-rou nd (at least three to four times a week): Dando maintains. Aside from his raw. physical talents, Dando believes Quinlivan has all the in tangibles necessary to make him highly-desirab le to coaching taffs in the professional ranks. • .. He's a tremendous leader evidenced by being elected co-captain of the team two years in a row. He's got a great attitude, too," said Dando. " He learns fast and he's alway giving 110 per cent. He makes you look good as a coach: he's the kind of kid yo u wish you had more of on the field.'' said Dando. " He's one of the most outstanding linebackers I've had the pleasu re of coaching ~ince I first came here in 1966.'' The senior linebacker attributes hi s success on and off the field to "just working hard at it all the time." Quinlivan shrugged hi s ma ssive shoulders with uncenaint y when asked which of the three avenues he'd end up pursuing this spring. T "I just doQ't know. I guess I'm going to weigh allthC: pros and cons and go from there," said Quinlivan . other athletes in the face of L ike heated competition and spon, Quinlivan has some idiosyncratic rituals he performs to mentally prepa re himself for a game. '" F or one thing. "he said, "I always tape my right ankle first and then my left. I've been doing it like th is for years and I wouldn~ feel right if I didn~ do it that way." Saturday is game day and that mean~ one thing and o ne th ing only for Quinlivan. "Come Saturday morning, there's nothing I'm think ing about except foo tball. I just conce ntrate on football from the moment I get up till the game is over." The final preparation is a moment of solitude, said the gridiron gladiator. "I go Jay down near a corner oft he lockerroom where I just thjnk about what I have to d o and then say a few prayers." Once all the rituals are taken care of and his mind is rid of any superstiti on. Quinlivan takes the field with a sure se nse of intensity and competitiveness. "J think the UB football program has come a long way si nce 1 first came here," said Quinlivan . "We used to usc a boiler room for our weight training room . But through so me raffles and fund-raising events, we were able to get some free weights and a weight n~om ... Quinlivan belie\,es the UB football program has made rapid strid es. too. in its competitiveness in the last few years. " It seems before we were always bouncing around a .500 (~· in-loss) percentage but in the last couple of ye ars we've been well ove r th e .500 mark . Ho pefull y. we'll finish 7 and 3 thi~ year." he predicted . "" I( we're able to do tha t thi~ ye ar. v.c can carry that winn ing attitude into next seaso n and the seaso n after that.'' Quinlivan had nothing but praise and respect for the football coaching staff. In particular, he cited Head Coach Dando and defensive coordinator Tucker Reddington for exemplary coaching. Of Dando, he said , "He's very concerned about the players, he almost think s of each of the players as one of his kids. It 's important for him to see each playc;r gradua te and become successful in a professional career, he's always emphasizing the importance of aca· demics." He talked high ly ofCeach Reddington \l.hO worb clo~clv with him. .. , ha"'e a trCmendous a mount of re pect for him. He's a great motivato r of players and a real scholar of the game," Qui.nli_v~ n s~ip_.

At Nine Mile Po in t. where the largest number of fish had been tagged. percentages of resident fish at various times were higher at plume si tes than at si tes outsides plumes. But the differences were statistically insignificant. Similarly. there is little evidence for thermal influence on brown bullhead residence and migration. Storr says. In the Nine Mile Point discharge area. only 6.3 per cent of the total recapture!~ occurred \\ithin a day of tagging. but after 40 days recaptures dropped to 1cro. Though bullhead also display cyclic movement between bay~ and streams and the open laJ...e relat'Cd to breeding ~casons and lake water temperature. a~ well <h a ~light preference for mud bottoms . site preference~ v.ere transitorv and the fish tended to beco me random)\ diMribute"d 0\Cr time.

Along- ~torm ~hor~ curre~ t s g~ncrated by y, inds tend to d is place fish m the darecuon of the current. Bullhead in par· ticular are affected by the!tc temporary currents. .

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 preliminary hearing has been set for November 14 in Amherst Town Court. Responding to the incident in his "State of the University" add ress Tuesday, P resident Sample said: "All of us in the University comm unity were deeply distressed by the violence which occurred in the Governors Dormitory this past Sunday. Such violence is totally antithetical to the exercise of reason and intellect that should govern the tife of this and every university. l n fact, we have been proud that an T academic community as large as ours has had one of the lowest crime rates of any major university in the · country. · "Safety on campus is a constant and primary concern for all of us. It was this concern which prompted me several weeks ago to appoint a Task J'orce, chaired by Dr. Diane Gale, to formulate recommendations on issuei related to personal safety and security for all members of the University community, with special emphasis on the personal safety of women. While the responsibility for investigating the tragic events of this past Sunday rests with the Police and District Attorney, I feel confident that in fulfilling its original charge the Task Force will be considering many of the factors that may have contributed to this particular incident. Although no set of recommendations from a task force could necessarily prevent this kind of irrational and unfortunate incident, we nevertheless want to know if State tJniversily of New York The State of UB Sample eviews year, calls on faculty to redouble both research and recruitment efforts A t his State of the University address Tuesday afternoon President Steven B. Sample recounted the following accomplishmcnls of I he 1983-84 academic year - improyements in academic structu re such as the selection of us·s fi rst provost, William R. Greiner: • accelerated st udent recruitment efforts exemplified by the Hono rs Program , the Educational Opportunity Program, and the University Fellowship Program; • improvements in the quality of undergraduate life such as the new student activ.ities building and progress on the indoor a thletic facility: • an expansion of UB"s public service role with the creati o n of the Technology Development Center and UB"s part in attracting the Empire State Games to Buffalo: and • an increase in organi1.ed research and sponsored programs by full-time and affiliated faculty to a level 1hat exceeded S53 million. Turning to the fuwrc. Sample discussed what assis tance UB needs from the State and what ass istance it needs to develop internally during the upcoming year. He outlined his 1984-85 budget request which stresses stability in staffing, greater budgetary nexibility, further increases in support for engineering and medical education, and a modified campus build-out program. Sample called up on individual faculty members to redoubl e their studen t recruitment efforts and to take a personal interest in retaining current undergretduate!l..

According to reports. officers had been called at about 2 a.m. to break up a fi~?ht between roommates Ronald Long!flire, 21 , and Rtchard Boulware. 18, who shared Room 206B in Roosevelt Hall. Governors. The two were taken by Public Safety officers to the Student Health Service in Ellicott after that altercation. At that time, Boulware reponedly met friends in Ellicott and told them of the incident. Conflicting reports surround the later incident which resulted in the fatal stabbing of Craig Allen, 18, a Tonawanda High School senio r. Officials say th~t a group of six young men, two of them reported.ly friends of Boulware, entered Room 206 whtle Longmire was there shortly after 3 a.m. Later statements made by students to the Buffalo News said that the six were intoxicated and that one of them carried a tire iron. Boulware was not in the room when the si.x, four of whom were not students, entered. In the ensuing melee, Longmire allegedly g~abbed a knife that was in the room 'and stabbed Craig Allen, who a1ater medical examiner·s report determined died "almost instantly" of a stab wound to the chest and heart. Also injured were William J . Drmacich, 20, a nonresident student from Tonawanda, who underwent surgery Monday morning for a stab wound to the abdomen. He is listed in fair condition at Erie County Medical Center. -Also hurt was Howard J . Allen Ill , brother of Craig, who suffered cuts to the hand. Howard Allen is a nonresident sophomore student. Included in the group of six who went to the second noor of Roosevelt Sunday morning were three other nonstudents: another Allen brother, Scott, 19, and two Tonawanda residents, Bradley Salmon, 16, and Joseph David, 17. Craig Allen's bqdy was not found unt il approximately 9:30a.m. Sunday morning, when it was discovered in Room 215 by a member oft he cleaning staff.

NeM over who rejected a prosecution bid for S 100,000 bail.- ci State of UB From page I Professor of Anthropology Ra oul Naroll, the search for a provost resulted in my selecting Professor illiam R. Greiner from among a list of ten distinguished candidates. As most of you know, Professor Greiner has devoted a substantial portion of his academic and administrative career to our University. He has , in my judgment , already performed admirably as Provost during these first few months following his appointment. Under our new administrati ve truelure Dr. John Naug hton, Dean of our School of Medicine, also serves as Vice President for Clinical Affairs . In this latter capacity Dr. Naughton is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with our affiliated teaching hospitals. and providing general supervision of the professional practice plans in medicine and dentistry. During this past year three of our most distinguished deahs decided to step down from their administrative duties. Dean Daniel Murray retired after 31 years of service to this institution, 23 of which were spent as Dean of the School of Pharmacy. Under Dr. Murray's leadership the research and education programs in pharmacy at SUNY-Buffalo became recognized as standing among the very finest in the world. Professor Harold Cohen has returned to full-time teaching and research after serving 10 years as Dean of the School of ArchitectUre and Environmental Design. Professor ,Cohen became the second dean of a fledgling school; under his guiding hand we have been able to achieve significant national recognition in the fields of architecture and environmental design in a very short period of time. More recently Dean Thomas Headrick anl}d unced his plans to leave his administrative duties in the Faculty of Law a nd Jurisprudence by the Fall of 1985 to return to full-time teaching and legal scholarship. Dean Headrick has ,been a strong and able leader of one of th is institution"s oldest and mOst distinguished academic units, and his record of achievements during the past eight years is exemplary. A fourth dean, Dr. Duwayne Anderson of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. did not really give up aQministrathie service, but rather traded his decanal responsi bilities at U B for those of the position of Associate Provost for Research at Texas A&M University. Dr. Anderson rendered yeoman service during his five years here in Buffalo, and we wish him well in his new assignment. Our academic comm un ity is in the process of welcoming two new Deans to ou r ranks. Dr. Michael, Brooks , who comes to us from Iowa State Upiversity, is now serving as Dean of our SchoQI of Architecture and Environmental Design, and Dr. Frederick Seidl from th e University of Wisconsin wi11 join us in January as Dean of our School of Social Work. This year has also been markeq by significant accomplishments at UB. I will :_.__.h ;.;.t_, ·g,_h_lig_h_t_s_ o.'~e · of these accO[Il..J:>~!':..... ments, using as benchmarks the five priorities which I identified at the beginning of my tenure as President. O ne of my five priorities is to improve our student recruitment efforts. The result s of our emphasis on recruiting academically talented students have been very gratifying. Begun in 1981 , our Honors Program now enrolls undergraduates whose academic credentials are superior to those of the vast majority of students at the nation·s most elite private universities. In Fall 1983 we attracted 60% of the National Merit Scholarship winners in Western New York into this program . The median SAT combined se:o re for the_Presidential Scholarship wmne.r:s entenng the Honors Program in the fall of 1984 is nearly 100 points above the scores of entering freshmen at many Ivy League institutions. In competing for these outstanding students we are going head to head with the lvys - and winning. All of us owe a debt of gratitude to the director of the Honors Program. Dr. Marilou Healey, and her dedicated staff in the Office of Advising, and also to the many individual faculty members who participate in this program as mentors and research advisors. Over the past three years our Edu~ational Opportunity Program has ~ons1stently exceeded its new admissions targets. Dunng thts penod the overall h1gh school average, the rank in class, and mean SAT scores for entenng EOP freshmen have mcrea~ed s1gmficantly. Moreover, nearly a th1rd C?f ~ur rece~t EOP gradua tes_ h>U"c:....recJ:Jv~q_Lhe!': degrees in the sci_ence, ~nd technology areas, where mmontles have been traditionally underrepresented. Over half of ou~ current EOP population is compnsed of black and hispanic students . EOP also serves significant numbers of white and Asian students and we are making concerted efforts t~ attract more Native Americans into this program. In a recent survey of admission to the nation's medical schools. UB ranked first among all institutions in ew York State (public and private} in the admission of minority _student S: This is an absolutely outstandmg record. especially when it is viewed in conjunct ion with the excellent reco~d o f performance of o ur minori ty medtcal g_raduates. I should like publicly to compliment Dea n Naughton. Assistant Dean Maggie Wright. and all of the medical school faculty who ha ve con_tributed to this very sig nifica nt ach1evement. The creation of a University Fellowship Program this past year has enhanced our ability to recruit and retain the nation's most academically talented graduate students. These 100 University Fellowsh1ps are awarded on a cdmpetiti_ve basis to students capable of the btghest level of creative scholarship in their respective disciplines. Furthermore our persist_ent efforts over the past tw~ years to raiSe the base stipends of all of our graduate and teaching assistants has br?ugl\t SUNY-Buffalo to a point at which our graduate student stipends are now comP.etitive with those at compara_ llle..research universiJ.i~U.bnlllg hplll the country. A. nother priority identified in my first .l"t...state of the university address~>& to improve the quality of undergraduate student life at our University. Significant strides have been made this year toward that goal. The new Student Acti vi ties Building, which opened this fall. add s 25.000 net square feet of indoor student activities space to our campus . This superb facility includes a recreation complex and music room. a large multipurpose room, food service. and a number of st udent organization offices. as well as a one-acre patio and garden .area. The seco nd phase of our in d o~r athletic facility should be completed tht> spring. The total complex will offe r our students si x full-s ized basketball court>. an indoor track, three 75-foot swimming pool s, an olympic di vi ng well . 19 han<l,ball and racquetball courts. and separate gymnasiums for dance, gymn ~­ tics. and combative sports . Th1 ~ unparalleled facility will also provide saunas, steam baths, 4000 lock ers. classrooms for physical educati on . laboratories for kmesiological rese~r~h. and an outstanding sports med iClf!C facility. There is no question that th~s complex will be the finest indoor athleuc facility in the northeastern U.nited S_tates. The technological resources a~atlab~c to assist students and f;lculty 1n ~he tr academic pursuits improved dramattcally in the past year. We now have over 425 microcomputers at UB - an increase of 40%-o~itbmore.than lll!. �October 25, 1984 Volume 16, No. 8 of these units available for drop-io use in open labs across the campus. Recent acquisitions have essentially doubled our total capacity for academic computing. We have also greatly expanded terminal access to our enhanced mainframe computer, as weiJ as our data communications networks and dial-in capacity. _As mos_t of you know, our University Ltbrary IS ranked among the finest academic research libraries in the country. In addition to holding over twoand-a-quarter million volumes. and subscribing to more than 15,000 periodicals, U B has been remarkabl y successful in building internationally .famous special colJections that have stimulated a wide variety of scholarly activity. The library is instituting a computerized cir:culation system to improve access to our extensive collection, and has acquired a second electronic reading machine and a braille encyclopedia for the use of sightimpaired students. This past year SUNY· Buffalo became a member of the Research Libraries Group (RLG). which is an academic consortiu·m of major . research universities across the country. Through our computerized tie-in to RLG cataJogs and files, we are able to offer our faculty and students relatively rapid access to the full range of scholar! holdings and esoteric journals in the combined libraries of all RLG member institutions. The quality of student life will also be enhanced .by renewed emphasis on the quality of teaching. Following the recommendation of the Faculty Senate, I issued a policy this past spring on teaching assessment and improvement. This policy calls for regular evaluation of instruction and systematic efforts to assist our faculty in improving their ~ teaching. ~ 1-~====="--j There has been a bit of uneasiness :,> expressed in some quarters as to whether ~ this new policy on teaching assessment ~ and improvement is compatible with the l L.....,.L..L..o..31o.....lCL..OIL....Jm...n:w....a.>A- • goals and mores of a research universily.

Another way in which we in the University have worked closely with the community has been in helping to attract the Empire State Games to Buffalo for th ird priority identified in 1982 was 1985 and 1986. The Games will bring to that U B shou ld expa nd its public this area thousands of the best athletes from a round the State of New York . se rvice role in Western New York , Most of these athletes will be housed in especially with respect to revitalization of the Ellicott Complex on U B's north the economy of this area.

This fifth priority is to reaffirm the centrality of the liberal arts and sciences in the modern university and reestablish them as the core of the academic enterprise . Late last fall. acting on the advice of the Faculty Senate and the Task Force on the Arts and Sciences . we established an Administrat ive Deans' Cou ncil for the Arts and Sciences ( ADCAS) . Th is Council h.;ts been meeting regularly to ensure the coordination of ou_r programmatic efforts in th is area. and to find ways to e ncourage greater intel1ectual cohesion among the three separat e faculties which comprise the a rts and sciences here at UB. More recentl y the Provost has appointed Dr. James Bunn. former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters. to the. newly created position of Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies. In his new role. Dr. Bunn will chai r ADCAS, and will carry general responsibility for improving the qualit y of undergraduate program s and the undergraduate experience here at SUNYBuffalo. Our determination to strengthen the arts and sciences at B has led to the creation of formal minors, wh ich will be available to undergraduate students for the first time in the fall of 1985. Th<se minors programs were de velo ped primarily in respon se to growing anxieties among arts and sciences major abou t their prospecls fot employment after receivi ng tbeir baccalaureatQ degrees. Minors will make it possible for all of o ursludents to broaden the scope or their undergraduate programs. In . particular. though, Yo'e hope the existence o( formal minors in the professions will encourage more students to major in the arts and scie nce~ . si nce purs uing a professio nal min or as part of a liberal arts program should make it easier for such students to obtain jobs in business. public administration , computing . design, and secondary education. Finally. there is one area of achievement which affects all five of these priorities in a very posi t ive way. I am pleased to report that , for the ninth year in a row, the University at Bu ffalo Foundation has se t a new record in obtaining private support for SUNYBuffalo . This year the Foundation generated more than $7 million in support of University programs. These funds often provide the critical measure of flexibility that enables us to seize an unexpected opportunity or to build upon a special strength. For example. d~ing this past year the Foundation was a e to raise , on very short notice, the ast $40,000 1ha1 was needed to complete our new S 1.2 million earthquake simulator. The Foundation has also recently appointed a new Vice President for Development , Mr. Joseph Mansfield , who comes to us from the Pennsylvania State University, and who will provide leadership for our various fund-raising activities in the years ahe.ad . Looking back, we can certainlyfi' conclude that th'is past year has been one of significant accomplishment. The faculty, staff, and s tudent s of this University. and the staffs of our Foundation and Faculty-S tudent A.sociation. arc to be congratulated for their efforts to help improve the breadth and quality of our program s and services. But , as in all things, we cannot dwell too long on the past. We must look to the future. to the problems and opportunities that lie ahead of us. Lei me begin this section of my address by considering first what we need in the form of assistance from the State . I should then like to discuss what we need from ourselves. Many of you will recall that in my he fourth priority which I identified in my first state of the university address was to strengrhen both the reality and perception of SU Y- Buffalo as a major research university of national repute. I am especially pleased to report that our efforts to encourage the growth of sponsored re search at U B are beginning to bear fruit. In fiscal year 1983-1984 expendi tures for organized research and sponsored programs by the full-time and affilia ted faculty at U B exceeded $53 million . The number of applica tions su bmitted by campus-based faculty for extramural funding during the past year has risen by 7 percent, and the dollar amount of awards has risen by 9 percent. It is now clear that we have the abili ty to increase our extramural supp ort. What is even more important. we have also shown that we have the will to do so. Another important milesto ne in the area of extramural support occurred last spring when three members of our English faculty - Professo rs Carl Dennis, Neil Schmitz, and Charles Bernheimer - were awarded Guggenheim Fellowships for 1984-1985. To the best of my knowledge ours is the only English Department in the country to have received three awards in 1984 . And thi s si ngular honor follows a similar achievement in 1979. when U B's English Department was once before the only one in the cou nn y to receive three Guggenheim Fellowships. T Of course the level of our extramural funding, in and of itself, must never be co nfu sed with the principal objective which such funding serves to support namely, the production and dissemination of original scholarship. research . and artistic creations of the highest possible quality. From this perspective the record of SUNY-Buffalo is admirable indeed. During this past year our faculty and st udents produ ced thousands of scholarly articles , papers , and abstracts ; hundreds of paintings. poems. musical compositions, performances, and reci· tals ; and scores of monographs . anthologies , treatise s, and edited • See S1ete of U~, page 4 �October 25, 1984 41~ State of UB From page 3 budget request to the State for fiscal year 1984-85, that is, for the current fiScal year, I identified four c ritical needs which I believed wo ul d have to be met if this institution were to move toward its goaJ of becoming o ne of the nation 's leading public research universities. I am pleased to.rcport that the budget allocated to SUNY-Buffalo for the current year was responsive in part to aU fo ur of these critical needs. I should be remiss if I did not publicly thank the Governor, t he Legislat ure (and most es pecia ll y th e Wester n New York Legislative Delegation) , the SUNY Trustees, and the C hancellor and his staff for their leadership aod support in the development of this year's operating budget. ur 1985-86 budget request , which I have just submitted to the Chancellor and the Trustees, is based upon th e assumption that these four critical needs continue to be fundamental to the University at Buffalo's ability to sustain those programs in which we already excel, and to nurture those prog rams 1h.at now stand at the threshold of distinction. Let me brieny restate these four crit ical needs. the progress we have made during this past year toward addressing these needs. and the manner in which these needs· Con tinu e to challenge us in the future. .. First ; we must prevent any recu rrence of the severe reduction s of SU YBuffalo 's siaff that occurred from 1976 to 1983. A reduction at a single campus of over 300 FfE filled lines in less than one and a half years is practicall y unprecedented in American higher education. In order to maintain t he quality of o ur ex.isting programs, we must be assu red by the State that our staff will not be decreased further, and tha t we will be permitted to fill all vacancies. A very positi ve step in this direction occurred in the current fiscaJ year when 55 positions were restored to SUNYBuffalo . This restoration allowed the Unjversity to stop the erosion which bad occurred in some of our core academic departments, and to address some pressing program needs. With the few remaining positions we will begin to move some of our academic departments which stand on the threshold of excellence to nationa1 and international prominence. However, in order for these restorations to have any long-lasting positive effect, it is absolutely essential that the State not revert to the precipitous budget cuts and freezes that c hara cte rized the late 70's and earl y 80's. In other words, stability in staffing is one of the essential keys to quality improvement at our University. O Our second critical need is for greater budgetary flexibility at the campus level. With such flexibility we could substantially improve the quality of our academic prdgrams at no additional cost to the taxpayers. A significant fraction of our resources is expended in se nseless. wasteful, and unproductive intercourse with the New York State bureaucracy. If effective utilization of til e reso uices allocated to SUNY- Buffalo is to be achieved, it is essential that we be freed from many of the constraints of current State administrative procedures. Last year we reque sted that the following changes be mad e in orde r to remedy this problem: (A) move us from pre-audit to post-audit accountability; (B) give us the authority to do our own purchasing, without prior approval from the State; (C) allow us to shift funds at will among budget categories, provided we do not exceed our overall budget allocation; and (D) give us total fleXibility in operating our IFR funds . I said .last year, and I continue to believe , that implementation of these steps would permit us to realJocate millions of dollars over the next several years toward improving our academic programs. This past year we ha ve begun to set: some progress in the area of increasing Volume 16, No. campus-flcx-ibi·lity. I bclie.ve-l.h Gove rnor's Office, the Legislature a nd the SUNY Central Administration are all receptive to this idea. We can only hope that these initial expressions of support will be followed by further concrete efforts to extricate us from the incredibly tangled web of bureaucratic procedures in which we are now enmeshed . hird, last year we identified engineering and medical education as th e areas in greatest need of additional resources. Increases in our '84-'85 budget . partially addressed the immediate needs of this campus in engineering and related disciplines. However, our student-faculty ratios in engineering are still among the highest in the state and nation, a nd our equipment needs in this area are enormo u s. Therefore. as part of the Chancellor's SU Y-wide initiative in engi neering, <ve are again requesting some additional resources in suppo rt of this discipline. Unfo rtunately. SUNY-Buffal o's needs in the area of clinical medical education were only minimally addressed in the 1984-85 budget. We believe very strongly that clinical medical education at UB is significan tly underfunded compared to the support provided to the other three medical schools in the System. Tlie data T _wca,c scaled back con~crably. T flc teaching hosptiilwaseh mfn~d"r decision was made to locate only the nonhealth-related disciplines on the new campus in Amherst. Under this plan t~c health sciences were to be housed m renovated buildings on the original Main Street campus of the University. The cost for this reduced plan was to be $750 million ($650 million for the new campus, and SIOO million for reno vatio n of the original campus for usc by the health sciences). he plans for SUNY-Buffalo were once again scaled back when, in 1976, the State imposed a S3 billion cumulative spending cap on all SUNY co nstruction. I have been led to believe that approximately $650 million of this amount was earmarked for SUNYBuffalo, to cover both the construction of the new campus and th e renovation of the original campus. This reduction of SIOO millicn dealt a harsh blow to many people's expectations for SUNY-Buffalo. Howeve r, the blow was softened by the fact that a renewed commitment was made to finish the construct ion of the Buffalo Center from the funds provided within the construction cap. With the help of SU Y-Ccntral staff we have been able to determine that, as of this date, only about $460 million has T . a modified build-o ut of the Buffalo _nt_crcould be TC~ for about $134 mtlhon . '!\'hale yanous options and co~gurall.ons eXISt for such a modified butld-out, tl seems safe to conclude that : •a~~~~~~g objectives could and must • adequate: space: on the Main Street campus for all of the health sciences except pharmacy; • necessary space for all other academic programs of the Universit y on the Amherst campus, including the fine arts, natural sciences and mathematics social work. and architecture; ' • an addition to the existing Student Activities Building to CO)lvert it into a student union; and • adequate si tework and utilities to ensure the basic workability of both the Main Street and Amherst campuses. The need for a build-out at this time is in myfudgment, absolutely compelling: The SUNY-Buffalo IS the only campus in the system which has never been fini hed in a basic way. Our department s of chemistry, mathematics, art, theater. and media st udies are located miles from our academic programs on the Amh erst campus. Many of our students spend up to 10 hours each week riding chartered buses in ord er to take their req uired courses. Ours is the only university center in the system , and probabl y in the co u nt n , without a fine arts center or a stud eiu union. And the costs, in terms of facult\ and stude nt morale, of continu al!~ moving distinguished academic depart· ments from pillar to post are incalculable. ne point that needs to be st ressed here is that SUNY-Buffalo is an imponant resource not only for Western ew York, but also for the entire state The University Center a t Buffalo contributes significantly to the strength and diversity of the State Uni ver•it\ system , and o th e opportu nitic-~ available to all of the people of th is sta re.

In addition , while SUNY provides an average of 10 million dollars per year in State tax funds for each oft he otherthree health sciences centers to support their teaching hospitals, U 8 receives Jess than one million dollars per year in hospital suppo rt funds. In my judgment it is essential that SUNY support clinical medical education at UB at a level commens urate with th e average of the ot her three SUNY medical schools. Our 1985-86 budget request is designed to move one third of the way towards equalizing the funding of SU Y Buffalo's clinical medical education program with its sister medical schools in the SUNY system. Our fourth c riti ca l need relates to comp let i ng the construction of the SUNY-Buffalo campus. I believe we now ha.ve a unique opportunity to finally bnng to an end the constant ph ysical disruption and logistical turmoil that have plagued this institution for more than 20 years. Let me review briefly the history of this situation as I understand it. Shortly after the University at Buffalo joined the State University of New York system in 1962, a tentat ive plan was developed for constructing an entirely new campus for what was to be SUNY' largest and most comprehensive unit. The plans that were developed in the early and middle 60's included all new facilities for the health sciences and the construction of a teaching hospital on the new campus. 1971 the plans for SUNY-Buffalo .,. !n ,, I t!•,f:r ... . ~ II • , "l , ,•; ,., • • . ,• . •·. •. a �October 25, 1984 Volume 16, No. 8 ~15 that would be financed from funds wit run the existing cap , and that would be completed by 1988. . Let me now .t urn to an equally Important quest1on - what must we · demand of ourselves if we are to continue to move toward the very first ranks of American universities, and if we are to develop the full potential of this institution to serve the needs of the people of New York? First, we must redouble our effortS to attract and retain students of the highest calibre at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This is n important objective for every disci pline in this University, and it is quickly becoming an imperative in the arts and sciences. If '9!le are serious about strengthening the arts and sciences at this University, it is absolutely essential that we find ways to encourage more students at every level to pursue courses of s tudy in these disciplines. As you know, during these past two years we have been making extraordinary efforts to inform high school Seniors and their parents about the superb opportuni~ ties in the arts and sciences at U B. As a result of these efforts we have been able to stem, and perhaps will soon reverse~ the steady decline in the numbers of students majoring in arts and scie nces that characterized our freshman classes for the previous decade. If this trend can be continued it will be a very significant achievement, especially in relationship to most other universities in this area. However. all of the avail~ble data indicate that the task of recruiting qualified students intending to major in the arts a.nd sciences will become increasingly difficu]t in the yea rs to come. During the next decade the college-age population will decline by 40 percent in Western New York , and by nearly 30 percent in New York State ove.rall. Moreover, based on recent trends in expressed student interest, the number of intended arts and sciences majors ma y decline by an even greater percentage. bviously we must d o an even better job in the future of telling high school seniors and community college sophomores about the ou tstanding opportunities available to arts and sciences majors here at U B. In terms of overall academic qualit y. the arts and sciences faculty at UB stands among the very best of all institutions, public or priva te, in New York State. Then too, students at U B pay considerably less tuition than the y would at private universit ies of comparable academic stature. Moreover, we can offe r ou r arts and sciences students minors in the professions. We already have in place a program for early assurance of admission of our undergraduates into medical school, 3nd we are developing si milar opportunities in other postgr aduate professional programs. ln short, ' I am convinced we can compete effectively for arts and sciences undergr~duates in a rapidly shrinking market, but only if all of us, and especially our arts and sciences faculty, are willing to invest a great deal of time and effort in a carefull y planned and coordinated recruitment effort. This means that faculty members must be willing. to meet personally with prospec· tive students who visit our campus, participate in visitations to high schools and community colleges,· get to know high school department chairs and advanced placement teachers, and enhance their contributions to current efforts such as the University Open House and the telephone contact program. To be sure, a number of our arts and sciences faculty members are already ac t ively engaged in such recLuitment activities, and a few of our arts and sciences departments have experienced . steady and even increasing enrollments over the· past several years. But a LJlUCh more widespread and concerted f4culty effort will undoubtedly be required in the decade ahead. Another way in which we can increase undergraduate student enrollment in the arts and sciences is through improved retentiOIJ. of ou~ own ~tudents. Each year - --,.. - O - - - hundreds of UB students are unable for a variety of reaso ns to remain in or enter . the particular undergraduate profes~ sional program in which they have been admitted or intend to enroll. ~hat is unfortunate is that a high percentage of these students simply leave 8 , rather than switch to alternate programs of study in the arts and sciences. I should think that man y more of these students could be retained if they were made aware, at an early stage in their careers, of the excellent degree programs offered in the arts and sciences , particularly when combined with the a ttrac tive academic minors currently being i ntroduced. Even more than in the case of recruitment, I suspect th e real key to success here is faculty involvement. We might well be able to decrease our overall attrition rate, and significantly increase upper division work.load in the arts and sciences, if we r ould ensure personal and continuing contact between our lower division students and individual arts and sciences faculty members. One approach used by other major universities to help achieve this objective is to ensure that key freshman and sophomore courses are taught by distinguished senior faculty in the arts and sciences. In contrast with undergraduate recruiting, the problems and rotentials that attend th~ recruitment o graduate students are much more focused at the departmental level. Some of our academic departments have vigorously recruited graduate students on a national basis for years, with the result that these departments enjoy the privilege of selecting their students from among man y qualified applicants . Other departments are just beginning to reaJize how necessary it is to mount an aggressive national recruiting effort, and how tough the competition is for the very best graduate students. The primary responsibility for recruiting graduate students must rest with the faculty in individual depart· ments . The campus administration, under the leadership of the Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Studies, can assist the deans , chairs, and departmental faculty in planning and implementing comprehensive recruit~ men rog rams. But establishing and mai-n taining personal contact with counterpar-t faculty at other institutions around the country. writing personal letters and making personal caJJs to prospective st udents. and se rving as hosts for prospective students-who visi t our camp us, can o nly be done effectively by members of our own graduate facuhy. II of which brings me to the last point I should like to address namelv. the need to increa se the ove rall levtl of extramural support at SU ' Y- Buffal o. For it happen s that th e le vel of' ex tr amural s upp ort is tied to o ur graduate-student recru iting efforts. in as much as th e former directl y affects the number of graduate and postd oc to ral students to wh om we can offer stipends. As I indicated earlier. we have made conSiderable progress during the past two yea rs toward increasing our level of ext ramural suppo rt. But we still have a very, ve r y long way to go . Both our absolute le\'el of outside funding and our rate of growth in this area lag far behind those of many other national research univer.sities . And we can expect the competition for ex tramural fund s to become even r;pore intense in the years immediately ahead . The efforts be ing mad e to sec ure outside funding vary rather markedly among the several departments and faculties ofSUNY-Buffalo. In so me units practicall y every fac ult y member is involved in writing several proposals per year; the resultant levels of extramural funding in those units are compe titive with the levels found in similar un its at the best research uni versi ties. Unfo rtu_natel y, in other deparif:mcnts very few faculty are making any efforts at all to secure outside support for research and graduate student stipends. A here are two new campus~wide programs being initiated th is year which should help stimulate extramural funding at UB. The first of these, which was recommended initially by our Research Advisory Council, will create 20 new postdoctoral fellowships in selected disciplines. It is expected that these new postdoctoral fellow s will enable their sponsoring departments to attract considerable additional outside support. The second initiative will encourage the development of interdisciplinary research .centers. The Vice President for T Research is now accepting proposals for planning grants fo r s uch centers. Eventually a small number of centers wiJJ receive substantial st art -up support for three years from our research develop~ ment funds . It is ex pec ted that each center will become self-s uppo rting at the end o f the three-yea r s t a rt~up period. Quite frankly. I !"Ould ho pe that every faculty member at SUNY-Buffalo would become se riousl y involved at least once each year in efforts to sec ure ex tramural support for our programs of education and re search . Such involvement mig ht range from writing a pro posa l for a resea rch gran t, to reQuesting funds for the development of a new academic prog ram , to seeking a donation of equipment from private indus tr y. One th ing is certain - without th is kind of widespread faculty commitment we will never join the very first ranks o f American research universities, no matter how much s upport we receive from the State. In conclusion let me say again how proud and excited I am to be a part of this noble institution at this particular point in its history. UB is an oulSianding public university - havi_ng arrived , as it were. at the threshold of greatness, and possessing considerable forward momentum. All of the really important ingredients are here - excellent facult y, hardworking and dedicated staff, and some of the brightest and most ambitious s tudents in the nation. Moreover. the. qualit y and vitalit y of thi s University are gaining greater recognition among our peers and publics. The Western New York comm unit y increasingly regard s SUNY-Buffalo as one of its key economic, educational, and cultural assets. More and more people throughout New York are recognizing the importance of this institution to the welfare and development of the entire State. And, at the national level. SUNY· Buffalo is clearly emerging as one of this country's major research univers ities. There is no question that we, like all academic institutions, will be facing some -very difficult problems in the years immediately ahead . But I am firmly convinced that we will be equal to these challenges, and, what is more important. that we will have the determination and foresight to seize new opportunities as 0 they arise. -- �October 25, 1984 Volume 16, No. a · si ~IT Books !.at Woell W-of 1 · 1 R wOn tJot 5 by Ja.mc:s A.

These funds come from the State University Research Foundation, Rennie said. Before 1978 or 1979, the Research Foundation distributed only a small percentage back to individual campuses. Now, about 40 per cent is returned to SUNY campuses to support research administration and development, he explained. The research development funds originate as indirect costs charged t o research grants, Rennie stated. These indirect costs are US's expenses in having research done here. The University tries to recover them from the outside agencies spbnsoring the research. The c9sts include items such as wear and tear on buildings, heating, and use of libraries. The amount of research development ft~ s returned to each campus by the ReEearch Foundation is proportional to how much of these indirect costs the campus recovered in the previous year, he said .

It's foolish and misleading to focu~ on any o ne fac t ," s uch as daycare , said Michael E. Lamb. Ph.D. in a recent talk at UB on "Socialization and the Family: Changes in Traditional Concepts." T here 's little evidence that a household with two parents, where th e mother stays home to care for the children . is important for effective socia1ization . Lamb asserted. Lamb is a professor of p syc hology. research professor of pediatrics. a nd research professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah. The parent<hild relation<hip has to be seen in a broader context than the one in which it is traditionally viewed. Lamb said. The character of the child. the character of the parent and the character of the social environment all play a part. Each child is unique. Lamb said. Children may <liffer in vulnerability to events in their lives. There are a number of interacting r'"elationships in the family: the re\:nionship of parent to child is not isola{ed. he said. Children see m to do better in psychological adjustments when th e relationship between the parents ls good. he ~ai d . Redundancy in socialization also is imponant. Lamb said. No single event is critical. There are multiple things that can have an effect on a child . so if one th ing is missing. development can s t ill proceed normally: W hen it comes to child care, the quality of th e care and the type of setting are important , he said. Facilities vary in quality and st yle . Children in high quality care ma y b·e more socially, emotionally. and intellectuall y skillful than those in centers of lower quality, Lamb said . Some children may do better in a child care center while others do better in a home settin g, he suggested . "Apparently, day care need not have harmful consequences on socia l and emotional development. '' Lamb said. But the question should be wha1 kind of effects it has. · ''There's no empirical basis on which to make recommendations to an individual fa mil y" on whether home care or day care is better, he said. "Day care is here. How do we make it best for the greatest number of families, the greatest number of children?" Wh ile day care arose because women ha ve joi ned the work force. th e two su bjects have been studied independently, W Lamb noted . Studies on mothers employed outside the home have come up with varied, so metimes contradictory findi ngs. One sho\\ed that after the mother returned to work about the same number of children changed from a secure relationship to an insecure relationship, as changed fro m insecure to secure. " It d oesn' depend on whether or not the mother is employed, it depends on the context ," Lamb stated . "It depends o n why she went to work , how she fee ls about it , how her partner feels and how the wider social context responds to the' change." lot of attention is being pa~d. today to the fact that fathers are givmg more child care. Lamb said. Opinion seems to be d ivided between th ose who see the change as ''wimpy, quiche-eating fathers engaged in rearing a generation of wimpy, quiche-eating boys" and those who believe the change will bring all sorts of positive benefits. he said. But the numbers of fathers providing direct child care have only increased 26 percent from 1975 to 1981. he noted . And the father is not necessarily more involved if the mother is employed . Studies of families wher1= fathers share care or have primary respo nsibility for preschoolers show that there is an increase of cognitive competence, an increase in empathy, mo re internal locus of contro l. and less scx-typtd beliefs among 1he children. Lamb said this may be because there are two highly involved parents rather than one . And there's more diverse stimulation than just one person would provide. "The couples are more fulfilled ; !here is less internal conflict,'' he said ...The effect ma y be due more to the harm onio us relationships in the family than to the amount oftime the father spends with the child ." It would be different if circumstances forced the father to be at home when he didn' really want to be there. ... It's not how much time is spent with the child , but why," Lamb said. Divorce is a concern in this country since th e United States has the highest divorce rate in the Western world. he said. Most of the early st udies suggested that children suffered serious effects such as doing poorly in sc hool or had psyc hological problems because of the absence of the father as a sex role model. But those effects may have been ca used by other. overriding factors, he suggested. In d ivorce, there is the absence of a coparent to take over when things get tough: there's no back-up . There is eco nomic stress, socio-emotional stress A Michael Lamb and the conflict that precedes divorce. "We should switch our focus from the parent's gender and ask about the other things going on in a case like divorce, ... he said . Redundancy is a factor in the way children learn about sex roles. he said . There are uncles, brothers, grandparents, and even tele visio n t o provide role mode.ls. If one aspect is missing, the child can still learn. "The child learns from TV and from the parent and from the grandparents," Lamb said . " In most cases, you can pull out any o ne of the teachers and see no effect. That 's true in most aspects of socialization." Lamb's talk was part of a daylong conference on .. Dive rsi ty and Family Style: Effects on Children ." Lamb has w ritten or edited several books, including Nontraditional Fam i· lies, The Role of the Father in Child Development, and Developmental P>ychology: An Advanced Textbook (the latter with M. H.

Sketch in some knowledge of design and computers. That gives you a diagram of how Jois Child charted her course to becoming a cartographer. It would seem a road with twists and turns. Child, who started as an assistant professor of geography at UB in August, began her college work with a bachelor's in English and anthropology and a master's in English . "I was teaching English in a community college and through the Oregon State Prison System, "she said ... , was unhappy with where that was going . ..There Were more English teachers than jobs. It was a catch-as-catch-can kind of living." So in 1978, she left that and went back to school. " I wanted something more stable and interesting," Child said. Her love of maps led her to a master's degree in geography from Oregon College of Education. She recently completed her Ph.D. in geography from the University of W ashingt o~. - I t's not a big jump from ErlElish to cartography, Chtld explained. She has done research that combines both fields. Her research compared a map as a graphic communication system to a poem, which is a linguistic communication system. Both systems use symbolswords, sound patterns, and images in the poem ; and shadings, points and other marks on paper in the map. You have to know the symbols and rules or the system doesn't make sense, she said. these two again, Child stated. A cartographer needs many skills, she like the system linguists use to formally said.

States, Child explained. Now Child is working on a formal notation system for maps that operates "This way, cartographers can talk very specifically about why a design works or not," Child explained. She hopes it will also make maps more easily compatible with computer applications. Child found that the Faculty Development Workshop organized by the Faculty Senate in August helped her in her work . She met people from the computer After the data are examined, the cartographer must make design decisions - choosi ng symbols and colors and recognizing what message they convey.

Whether lounginj: in Capen l:<>bby, munchmg m Bald¥, perching atop a third floor bene~ m the_t:aw Ltbrary, or. sprawhng out tn _ Founders Plaza, the major free ttme acttvtty on campus ts to ~atch , catego rize, and comment on the diverse population which comprises the Uruverstty. Many new students, however, either freshmen or transfers, have yet to master the fin.e art of people-watching, and it has become the asstgned duty of Mr. Manners, U_B s arbiter of all that is good and correct, to asstst t_hese poor lambs to dtfferen_u ate the engineer from the English major, the Food Servtce ~o rk e r from a vtce prestdent, and Attila the Hun from the Lockwood Ltbrary Pollee. . .. The following is a short compendium pointing qut so me baste differences between many of the more popular UB student types. It should , hopefully, help launch a w~ole new generation of students lounging about campus, watchmg other students lounfolng about campus. F THE ENGLISH MAJOR If any UB student exists i~ a world of his own, it is the English major. .Perhaps it is the effect of being segregated in Clemens Hall or of having to read so much fiction , but an English major is downright different from every other University stu- (we non-literati call it \loeird- "" ). a predilection enco uraged by professors who awa rd A's to students who claim that Melville intended readers to equate Moby Dick not wi th a big, white whale, but with the Republic .of Ireland , and that every male character in ''The Merchant of Venice" was gay, as was J lius Caesar. Hamlet. MacBeth (probably due to the confusion over how he was born), Richard II , Richard Ill. Jane Eyre, and Gumby.... dent. The sad part is she is proud of it. For the mos r pan. Englis h majors are the richest and dress the poorest of any st udents. On any given day, one may find. a slew of them tre kking-in from their palat'ial Wtlliamsville abodes dressed in raggedy jeans, flanne l shirts, T-shirts with sayings nobody, including themselves. understands, long wool overcoats. and John Lennon glasses. To them. college is for experiencing .. how the other half lives"- for no more than eight hours daily. of course. English majo rs fancy themselves to be UB's most intellectual students, on a level well above cretinous engineers and sex-craz.ed management students. They are the only group who can sit around a table in Baldy, debating whether or not MacBeth 's was a Cesaerean or normal birth - and care. English majors, when not attempt ing to impres~ one another with their pseudo-pove rty ("Oh, like look: I have to bring my own tea bags to school."), love to plan trips to "The Continent" and hero-worship their professors, who also love to plan trips to Eu ro pe and hero-worship themselves. English majors speak softly and carry around heavy (i n both weight and difficulty) l;>ooks, none of .which they are required to read. Marcel Proust is a fa vorite this year. An English major's conversation just talk, they ated by referen!'CS to "Proustian" (unlike the who relates any situation to a scene from " Revenge of the Nerds"), opinions prefaced by "don',>:ou just Jove ... ," and smatterings of foreign phrases, . preferably French. English students pride themselves on their creativity 1'HE JUNIOR LAWYER In general quite simple to stereotype, the aspiring lawyer is UB's most difficult student breed to locate. Unlike the English major who c.an be found loungi ng about on virtually every couch, the junior lawyer's domain is comprised solel y of O'Brian Hall and that half of Baldy cafeteria closest to the Law Library. As if seized by some psychological impairment, the Jaw student demes the existence of the other 25 000 students who roam the ca;,pus. Some prestige-hungry junior law}-ers have even deluded themsel ves into believing they do not attend U B, preferring to refer to their Faculty as the .. SUNY Law School" (perhaps it's because SUNY contains 1he same initials as NYU , and thus may confuse recru iters.) Law students come in three types. The ftrst includes those who enroll as fugitives from the Higher Education Student Loan Service. They co uld care less about the reasoning behind Plessy v. Ferguson o r what Federal Rul e 12 (b) (6) is. Their only continuing concern is to avoid paying tbe Sl50-a-month loan payment for the rest of their lives. A J.D. is nice, but a five-year Ph.D . is even better. The remaining two groups have missions which are basically identical - they actually do want to become lawyers but their methods of achieving ttiat goal differ considerably. One group plods along th rough their studies as if Law School were just glorified undergraduate stud y. Non-obtrusive, relatively f un-Joving people, these low-key students are the perfect foil for those Mr. Manners has left for last - the dreaded VLS. VLS stands not for the Voice Literary Supplement, but for Vile Law Students. Having spent their formative years glued to re-runs of "The Paper Chase," they are the ones who constantly raise hands in class, insist that their comments are awe-inspiring for their classmates, and love to second guess John Marshall (or any other Supreme Court justice), all the time proving, in the ultimate act of egalitarianis-m, to be the bane of both professors and other students. VLS's are most easily spotted holding "court" on a collapsing table in Baldy Satellite. Here they play Hammurabi or Moses (or John Houseman) for unsuspecting undergraduates or even for One another. quoting their interpretations of justice from time immemorial. However, as any of their fellow "normal" law students would tell you, if there really was an y justice in the world .... 1'HB P.T..A. (.. n.~-~· Sal .... ~) There is no refuge from them. From your introductory Communication course, to the last class before tbe Ph. D. is awarded, they are there. Grouped together, usually in the front of the classroom, they raise their hands in unjson, answering aJI questions, even ical ones, the professor may ask. They exist only to make '"traditional" students feel guilty. They a!ways do their homework, read the assigned books, even polish off the optional readin'gs. They "appreciate" college, and adore their infallible professors. They arc th e - Mothers," the gang of returning students over 35 whq make academic life miserable for everyone else. Little is worse th an taking a class with somebody who looks like your mother {except, perhaps, taking a class with yo ur mother). They inhibit not only your opponuni'ties to goof off from school work, but also your social life. P.T.A. 's never go to the Walkway cafe for a drink after class and fail to understand why being hungover is any excuse for skipping the first class after an exam ("Every class is important, young man, otherwise why would they be scheduled'!"). Perhaps most trying is the P.T.A.s' penchant for bringing "life experiences" to class. They believe th at every intellectual theory a professor offers during a lecture has some common sense parallel from their own lives. Perhaps they may see tbe relevance, but we do not, in com paring d ifferential calculus with measuring how much indoor-outdoor carpeting will fit in their childrens' playrooms.... 1'HB Soon to take up residence on the Academic Spine, the Schoo,l of Management will afford student watchers a whole new breed of social climbers, nouveaux riches. and would-be nouveaux riches. Their unabashed worshipping of the dollar and. undying atU:mpts to secure a major credit card (tbe only reason Management maJors graduate is to become eligible to get an American Express card) should come as tle surprise, however, since these students attend school for no reason other than to learn ho" to make money. Aft.e r four years of (pick an; adjective, i.e. macro, micro. labor, Ancient Egyptian ... ) economics courses and vdrioult seminars o n how to exploit thl· working class, a classroom full of management students is the closest tbing U B has to its o" n chapter of the National R iOe Association or the John Birch Society. These people actoaJiy know what a Laffer Curve is. They love supply-side economics, curse Paul Voll<er, and buy those books on Japanese corporate style which are always my•teriously popping onto the UB bestseller list. The look of tbe management student is the most difficult to �October 25, 1984 Volume 16, No. 8 describe of any UB studenttype, if only because there are so many of them. Yet, a majority can be readily identified by their "unique" (at least to those who believe English is supposed to be used for communicating) accents and from their places of origin. They are from either "The City" (Paris? Funny, it doesn' sound like a·French accent) or "The Island" (Is that Staten, Grand, or Fantasy?). The management student's color of choice is purple, and every piece of his or her clothing, from jogging suits to three-piece suits, reflects this · strange attachment .... THE ATHLETE It has always been easy to jest • about the proverbial "dumb jock.," you kno"!_ the jokes Basketweaving 101 , Remedial Sets and Numbers 202, etc., etc. While UB is far from being a University of Alabama, a Notre Dame, or a USC on the sports field, its athletes still rank up there with the best (or is it the worst) the NCAA has to offer. The first question about the intellectual capacity of UB athletes has to do with why an "Athlete" would want to become a UB "athlete." Name two UB athletes who ever made · it to the pros. Having problems? It 1S not Mr. Manners' duty, but somebody must break it to our young Athenas and JH, No! LEFT MY WARMERS HOME[ Adonises that UB just isn \ tbe farm club of the NY Yankees. A prome in 1M S~ctrum is not the cover of Sports Illustrated. Yet UB athletes love to wallow in their re.lative notoriety. They can be readily seen, either wearing their blue-and-white Bulls or Royals jackets, or following around the smartest kid in the class, offering tbe opportunity to be seen with a BMOC in exchange for the arlS\VI:rs Jo tbe homework due in Physics 107. The final nail in the UB Athlete's ipteUectual coffin is the University's athletic tutorial program, which offers any student with ao IQ above 89 the opportunity to teach athletes who are havilll! cademic problems in Basket caving 10 I, Remedial Sets and Numbers 202 ... . THE.AR1; THEjlTER_, &DANCE ARTISTE brought on by the fumes from their palettes. or by poor circulation resulting from leg warmers that are too tight.

No group is consistently as not fun). Artistes love to comfar out as these denizens of Har- ment on what others wear. on riman and Bethune. Maybe it's the architecture of the Amherst Campus, and on how "'square" other students are. These people are hip. The male of the species is best identified by the none-toodiscrete black earring be sports in his left car and the bandana tied around his bead (cutting off blood now to the brain). His female counterpart has two pairs of· leg warmers tatooed on and insists she could have done better than Jennifer Beales in "Flashdance." Varieties of colored leather are also beginning to creep into tbe Artiste's .. closet, a reflection, he will insist, of his position at the cutting edge of fashion. The dream of every Artiste. especially of those who insist on prancing through Harriman Cafeteria at lunch, is appearing as a contestant on .. Dance Fever. •• You must understand, these are the type of J?COple who want Denny Teno to introduce them as having "designed their own costumes ... Their great desire in life is to become Solid Gold Dancers .... 1'HE ENGINEER · If only because of their numbers, UB student engineers are the easiest to spot. Destined to earn gobs of money after graduation, already working at lucrative internships, and the favorite undergraduate target for the Sears credit card recruiter, the engineers have no pretentions about how to use their vulgar anticipated disposible iowo.mc;. Rather than perusing a NiemanMarcus catalog or laking luncb hour jaunts to S bley's, they prefer to stimulate the economy through the neighborhood KMart or Woolworth's. To an engineer, polyester epitomizes the marriage betv."Cen science and art. They mar\oel at its wrinkle-resistant quality. become: weak-kneed when contemplating the rainbo" of colors it is available in and are uniformly dazzled by how it can reflect sunlight like no other chemical compound. Earlier in life, some e~gineers stumbled upon rayon, but h was at college they discovered polyester, usually draped around their professors, who are otherwise notable only for wearing ties which never make it past the crease where the chest ends and the beer belly begins. The engineer, however, ex-cels in one area of consumption calculators or pocket computers as engineers would rather call them. It is doubtful that any student. even an engineer. actually knows what all the buttons do (like what is the ARC H YP function and what does it do other than make the calculator go into overload?), but engineers pretend they do, usually covering their mistakes by drawing elaborate geometric figures on a piece of graph paper. The affair betv.eeo an engineer and his calculator is more sordid than any Richard Gerc/ Debra Winger movie could hope to portray. Engineers call their . pocket computers by pet names. The belt is even more: sacred to an engineer because it does more than hold up his pants; it also carries the calculator. Most common is the three-inch-wide black imitation leather model, complete with a buckle large enough to make the NoJ1h America}] professional wrestli ng champion green with envy. The best-selling buckJes are those depicting beer brands or truck companies, which is somewhat strange considering lhe last place one (jnds an engineer is drinking Budweiser in the cab ora Mack truck. Many fallacies and horrible legends surround the engineering student, and it falls upon Mr. Manners as the paragon of campus truth to dispel any nasty rumor which may affect yo ur student-watching. For example, engineering students' knuckles do not drag the grou nd when they walk. On the contrary, most engineers tic their exlra-long appendages to their K-Mart special, allplastic, bunsen burner-resistant workboots. That's why they wear extra short .. Noah's Ark " Wrangier jeans. While they are exceptionally easy to make the brunt of jokes. engineers have contrib-uted much to society. Without them, there would be no TV, computers, Cuisinarts or ICBM missiles. All in all, Mr. Manners liked it best when engineers just drove trains. 0 • �October 25, 1984 12 1~If Volume 16, No. 8 War That's where U.S. policy is headed, Nicaraguans charge By JOH N K.

Despite more than six years of teach· ing at other universities, he had never seen himself as students do. But this teacher, along with the other 40 participants in UB's first faculty development workshop, got that perspective with the help of the unblink ing eye of a TV monitor. Each participant was videotaped while presenting a brief lecture during the workshop, held in August by the Faculty Senate Committee on Teaching Quality. The participants found that the shock of recognition, of viewing oneself from the vantage point of undergraduates, was a startling but rewarding experience.

S taning this semester, all courses in the University must include student assessments of teaching. For some, th e results will come as cryptic printouts, telling us about our strengths and weaknesses as instructors. We may learn from the figures on the printout that we are audible and accessible, or that we are boring and inconsiderate to students but the numbers themselves are lifeless and abstract. They must be examined in conjunction with others. Videotapes can reinforce points raised by student questionnaires, but can provide immediate, direct impact, pointing to where improvement can come. Taken, if possi ble, under natural classroom conditions, they reveal aspects of our perso nalities, unconscious ind ividual mannerisms. and visual evidence df our interactions with students that standardized questionnaires can only hint at.

I do not intend to press this approach , as a panacea. however. Seeing oneself teac hing will not lead to improvement un less three criteria are met : • the individual faculty member must be willing to be self-crilical and be a len to what is signaled to the class by body Ian· guage as well as by spoken a nd written words; • the ana lysis ought to be done jointly with a trusted, perceptive colleague, known as a good teacher and a sympathetic advisor: • the individual panicipant should set forth a conscious series of steps for improvement that ca n be accomplished on a gradual basis. and should periodically review his or her progress. acuity members wishing to score themselves could usc a format like that printed in th e adjacent box. adapted from one used in the August workshop. They should draw on advice of individuals such as Chancellor's Award winners or members of the Faculty Senate Committee o n Teaching Quality. In any event, they should not hesitate to ask for assistance. Obtaining videotape equipment for short-term use is not difficult. Several Schools or Faculties have cameras and monitors already in stock. The Educat io nal Communications Ce nter (Wende Hall) maintains four or five half-inch reel-to-reel videotape devices that can be loaned for shorr-term utilization in classrooms, without charge. Training is available to facult y members and their assistants who wish to borrow this equipment. Alternatively, three-quaner inch videotape cassettes and cameras (far easier to thread and to edit) can be rented at $5 per day using State accounts. Playbacks can be scheduled in Wende 316 or Capen 31, with prior notifi cation to ECC. Micro-teaching formed a key part of the practical side of the week-long facult y development workshop. It was a chance to move from theory to reality.

But it has its origins in the mysterious rituals of antiquity that were used to keep the cosmos running smoothly, explained Phillips Stevens Jr., associate professor of anthropology at UB. In the Christian context, Halloween is an abbreviation for All Hallows' Eve, the day before All Saints' Day. . All Saints' Day was set aside to remember not just the saints canonized by the Church, but people's cherished ancestors, Stevens said. "The evening before was dedicated to propitiating the other agencies of the cosmos," he said. Those might be ghostS, demons, fairies, or hobgoblins. " In medieval times, people lived in a world inhabited by a wide variety of supernatural beings," Stevens said . "The people hoped these beings would be satisfted so they wouldn' interfere with the~ business of the nl:xt day." The Christians combin.e d a number of pagan l!fements into their observances, Stevens noted. A major celebration of the Celts of the Northern British Isles was called Samhain. A harvest feast, it CllDlO roughly at tbe end or October. Anthropologists bave noticed that ceremonies at junctures of periods of intense human activity, such as at the harvest, often contain role reversal and a reversal of standard social norms, Stevens said. Men might dress as women and mock them, or there might be public mocking or officials. Sexual behavior such as adultery that otherwise was considered illegitimate D H hat do the fish tell us abo ut toxins?

Modem examples wc.uld be Mardi Gras or Oktqberfest. "Generally non-acceptable behavior became tolerated for a short period of time, a day or two," Stevens said. "It was a publicly tolerated blowing ofT of steam. It was healthy in the long run. Once it was aU done, they had to.get back to the serious business of running society. • " It was also a time when free-ranging spirits were acknowledged and given free reign. "During the year, the cosmos is orderly. People, through religious rituals aod magic, try to keep the cosmos going. But people need a break and they figure ther spirits need one, too."' Peopl.e would set bonfires at the edge of the village to keep the spirits out. Beyond the bonfires, they set out fruit, outs, and sweets to appease the spirits. Halloween takes up many of these practices. " People, particularly children, dress up as denizens of the cosmos: goblins, ghosts, faines, what bave you," Stevens said. "They assume tbe freedom of behavior the spirits have." · Many people have jack-o'-lantems burning when the trick-or-treaters come to call. Jack-o'-lantems were made by the English and Scots a few centuries ago, Stevens said. A "jack" was a "guy" nnd a jack-o'-lantem was a night watchman. The Scots dido' have pumpkins, a New World vqetable, but tbey would carve a fearsome face into a large turnip. Tbe b~ light inside would keep the spirits at bay, just as the bonfires of Samhain did, S~ explained. Children used to be given pretty free reign at HaUoweea and it resulted in some pelt y vandalism. "When I was a kid, I remember soaped up windows and smashed jack-o'lanterns," Stevens said. "It was a nuisance, but people expected it." But dangerous incidents like razors in apples bave brought more controls to Halloween. The holiday doesn' offer the same ps,ychological opportunity to blow ofT steam as it did for the Celts. "It no longer holds the cultural importance it used to," Stevens said.

This escape from reality could be quite dangerous. said Bruce S. Kersh ner, botany instructor and science writer at UB. Atropine can produce nightmarish hallucinations si milar to delirium tremens and the drug can be fatal. The other, more widely accepted explanation of the witch's broomstick is that it is a female domestic tool and witches are female, Stevens said. -final characteristic com:monl T -heattributed witches is that they to work at night. Part of this characteristic comes from the medieval concept of Jews. Stevens said. Jews were persecuted as witches because they were thought or as having killed Christ. They were also thought to be clever with medicine and, when the Plague hit, they were accused of spread· ing it, he said . Witches "Oew" to the Witches· Sab· bath, a meeting where. together, they could work more powerful magic than any one could singly, Stevens explained .

The broadcasting career of Christine Craft seems to indicate that many executives think it is, especially when female broadcasters are involved, but during her speech in Slee Hall Monday night Craft challenged that perspective .. "The f irs t prerequisite for being a reporter should be th~ ability to write, to speak, to have the intelligence to grasp a sto ry, and be able to translate that," Craft said. Craft has found that instead her em ploye rs expected her to portray the "illusion of credibility." ••(t isn't important to have real credibility - basic knowledge of a situat ion and the journalistic overview a reporter should hjive. The illusion of credibility is important~ and it is accomplished with hai~ color, make-up, and clothing," she said. Craft added that virtually every male news reporter in lhe country is aware of) this concept and that it is mostly expected of their female counterparts. Craft"s first experiences in broadcasting were at KSBW-TV (NBC) in Salinas, California. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English several years before but opted to pursue competitive surfing. She was nearly 30, then, when she began at the station. At KSBW-TV, Craft received ""a wonderfully broad-based· education." Her duties included service as weatherperso n, film shooter. editor, relief sportscaster, booth announcer, new s reporter, and public service director. H er most memorable experience came while she was doing the weather. The general manager asked her to ""lighten things up a bit" during a heat wave and do the weather in a bikini. The next day Craft went to work wea ring a trench coat and did not expose the remainder of her outfit until she was on the air... 1 flung open the trenchcoat and revealed a rented , turn-of-th ecentury bathing costume complete with bags, folds, and drawers," Craft said. In 1975 she accepted a position at KPJX-TV in San Francisco as weekend " eat her reporter, relief spo rts producer. and anchor of the evening news. After a year there, she was invited to Nctw York to audition for .. Women in Sports, .. a new seg ment of C BS"s-""Sports Spectacular." ""They found me; it wasn't what I was looking for," said Craft. She accepted the position with CBS and moved to ew York. "The first thing they did was make me over. I figured this was the big league ew York - so I basically gave them carte blanche," she said . The result was a new hair color and style and a full complement of make-up. " When they did that to me, I lost my best ability - being myself on the air." Craft said. . She added that despite the impression gtven by popular glamour magazines, all women do not want to be .. made-over. •• Many are happy with their natura) selves. During her tenure with ''Women in Sports," Craft traveled all over the United States doing features on women athletes.

In all societies, women have thrs mystenous power - reproduction,"' he said .... Creating life within one's own body has men in awe --:- that's universal, in all cultures ... But because men are born of women , they could inherit the witch's power.;. In the 14th. 15th, and 16th ~nturies , witches could be women or men, Stevens noted. The conical cap was taken from the Church's campaign ag'\inst heretics that preceded ~~~cam­ paign against witches, Stevens saJd. Heret.Jcs had tq_ wear a dunce cap, named after the ~hilosopher Duns Scotus who ferreted out heretJcs. In the,t>th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the witch was the prime heretic.

The pope also commissioned two fellows to write a handbook on the subject called Malleus Mal•flcarum. Both the bull and the book stated that witches associate with black cats. The pope went on to say that all cats are Satan's agents. It became a heresy to own a cat. Several hundred thousand women and their cats were burned at the stake, Stevens said. Witches possessed extrahuman power.; and the only way to get rid of them was by burning, be explained. During this .. witch craze"' of Western Europe, perhaps one million people were lcilled as witches over four centuries. Several hund.rcds of thousands of these killings were documented, Stevens said. alone, like an old widow, were likely to be suspected of being witches. A witch is ugly because society perceives ugljness as antisocial. he said. The widow. in permanent mo urn ing, is dressed in black . Blackness is also symbolic of evil and night. and witches were thought to be most active at night . he noted. witch is often pictured with her cat, who is her pet or alter ego. It was thought that the witch could send the animal out to do evil. Cats were very poRUiar as witches· familiars for a number of reasons. Stevens said.

There are myths surrounding them that they have nine lives or they always land on their feet. Mysterious, nocturnal traits and bizarre behaviors arc shared by owls and bats, also regarded as witches' familiar.;, he said. In the Salem wi.tcb trials in 1692, the young girls who accused their elder.; of witchcraft claimed to see owls above certain people's heads. In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued a Papal Bull or letter which was the high point b the Church's identification of witches, Stevens said. It told what witc~-d<r.-what-tbey=inot=lilce-.liif'li<iw <n ent Sometimes the Inquisition would declare a whole town infected and the entire town would be bumed. ut some of the people accused as witches may have just beeh trying to escape the squalor and grim conditions arou nd them, Stevens noted. In 1348, the Black Death hit Europe. Over the next 50 years, more than a th ird of I he total population of Europe was wiped out. Cities of that time were like some of today's worst slums. There was urban overcrowding, high innation, and high unemployment. MEuropean cities were horrible places lo live," · SteVenN ummed up. But if some of those problems sound like ones we hear about today, add one more modern trouble. People used hallucinogenic drugs to escape from reality.

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

He prepared the report as acting payroll director. · According to the report, total expe nd i· tures for graduate student supp ort from State and Research Foundation funds (excluding the College Work Study Program funds) were $6.74 million in 19 8~· 83, up $1.12 million fro m the previo us year. A The reason for the increase is that the President wanted to increase the amount of the stipends so UB could continue to attract good qualit y graduate assistants and teaching assistant s, Bell said. There was a reallocation of reso urces wi th in the budget to th at catego ry, Bell said . An amount eq ui va le nt to the unions' across-the-board raises. about eigh t per cent, was also added, he said. Those funds a re built into the University's budget req~est. h i expected that the eight per cen t will be available next year, too. The amo unt paid out for college work stud y increased because of an unusual situation that occurred in 1983-84, Bell said. A greater number of students who were offe red work study accepted it. That category. with an increase of $4!17,578, passed Sl million. He expects the amount paid out will come down a little bit th is year. The only catego ry to decrease between the two years in the stud y is th e Faculty Stude nt Association payroll. That we nt fro m S625.886 to 5606,728. The decrease came in the Statler Co mmissary, the key food preparation area, said Donald Hosie, directovoffood and vendi ng services ~VS). The new manager decided that to get the quality he wanted. he needed consis·tency. So more regula.r employees were hired to avoid the high turnove r of students, Hosie said .

And it has a major drawback: you're operating in the real world with real people and real di eases. That seems to be the conse nsus of several clinical instructors at B. ..The real problem is you're dealing with human beings," said Suzanne Aquilina. clinical assistant professor in graduate education for nursi ng. "You're deali'n.g wii1i. clients and it's unpredictable. Tht classroom is very organized.·· Aquilina, who teaches in an o utpatient clinic at Children's Hospital. finds th at realit y creeps into the clinic in a way that's unlike the classroom . Mothers trv to hold on to screartilng, sq uirming babieS while students truggle to examine. the tots. The children seen th at day might not have the particular type of rash a clinical instructor wanted to talk about. Or a pa~nt may not show up for an appointment. "Sometim.es yo u have little control over the type oflearning experience, "she said . " But the students learn that this is the real world ." This real world has real patients. The patient becomes a third niember of the teaching team. The instrucror must impart tec hnical information to the Student, and at the same time cultivate attitudes toward the patient. .. You have to rei nforce the idea of the patient as a person and how disease can influence that perso n , ~ said Dr. John aughton, dean of the Medical School and vice president for clinical affairs. .. It's T'1nore active and complicated enterprise. It's tailing reality and applying it to what should be done in an individual situation." The paradox in the system is th at in the struggle to eradicate disease, the emphasis has been placed on technology. 'fhe system can become depersonalized. C B's medical school, however, is U ..people-oriented." Naughton said. It attempts to give students a stro ng foundation in the scientific aspects of medicine without losing sight of patients as people. "We don't want to ma.ile students hardened and unfeeling," he said ... We want to make them compassionate and caring. ""'We ta ke students away fr&m , in essence, lay attitudes. But we hope they keep some of those auitudes - they're real , pure. and meaningful as to understanding ~hat people are about. •(But to make the system go, we have to · add all these other skills." During training. eve rybod y the student works with is sick . That becomes the norm! Naughton said. "The awareness of sick ness becomes mu ted over time - you get used to it."he said. So the clinical instructor mu t strive to keep the studCnt sensitive. The emphasis in nursing is also on the whole person, not just the disease, said Linda McCausland , clinical assistant professor in undergraduate nursing. .. We stress the psycho-social aspects, as well as the physical aspects," she said. "We really look at the whole patient." Clinical instructors have to remind students not o nly that they're working with people, but also that they're working with sick people. .. It's important to remembEr that these people are sick; they're incal}acitated at this time," Naughton said. ••They become more dependent - suddenly they're dependent on the doctor, the nurses and the orderlies. .. It doesn't. matter if it's a relatively minor ailment. The loss of independence is real for everyone. That in itself can be 1rauma1ic for a patient who's been vi1al and active." In their eagerness to be friendly , students may actually offend patients, es pecially elderly patients. .. For example, it's very common for a student., even a house officer, to call a patient by his or her first name," said Dr. James Nolan, professor and chai.r man of the Department of Medicine. "They're trying to be friendly. .. But the patient didn't ask to be called by his first name. And the doctor didn't ask the patie nt to call him by his ftrSt name." Calling a patient, especially an elderly patient, by his or her first name can make th at person feel li ke a child again, Nolan ex plained. And that just reinforces the demean ing aspects of being in a hospital. "Yet the stud ent means it in the best way." he said . he experience of wo rking with people can't be replaced by classroom lectures or by practice with simulators. The simul ato rs, mannequin-like devices used to practice techniques such as drawing blood . don 't come close to the experience of doing it on a person, said Dr. Paul J . Davis. professo r of mCdicine at UR and chief of medical services at the Vet e ran s Admini s trati o n Medical Center. "'Simulators don't talk to you. the y don't distract you. they don't make you swea t, .. he said . "There's no penalty'" if a student makes a mistake. '" But you undermine your relationship with a real patie nt when you fail : when you don't draw blood the first or second time.'' The medical st udents have only minimal exposure to these kinds of techniques, Davis said. While they are carefully supervised so they do not harn'l the patient, their inex perience might cause · pain .

Telephone 636-2626. "But that part of the apprenticeship persists - and it will always persist," Davis said . Simulators are aJso available to nursing students to use to practice gi vi ng shots, McCausland said . " But it's still different putting a needle into someone," she noted. So her students learn the same way she did - by practicing o n each other. Then, when patients ask t.he st ud ents if this is their first shot, they can truthfully reply, ··no .... The clinical instru ctor also has to deal wi th students wh o are very nervous and might be visi bly sha.lling when they do something, McCausland said . "Before we get to the bedside, I talk them through a procedure and they tell me what they're going to do, "she said. " It builds up their confidence ." If they're nervous performing in fron t oftbe teacher, she reminds them that they al ways have an audience -- the patient. linical instructors also have to help their st udents face their feelings about the real-life event called death. "Stddents have tQface up to the reali ty tha~ death is goi ng to occur when yo u're ta.ilmg care of people," McCausland said . She hel ps students go through a grieving process when a patient dies. .. It 's almost like the process we're expecting the patient and family to go thro ugh," McCausland said . .. We can do it with stud ents as well." Naughton agrees th at the best time to explore a student"s att itudes toward death and dying is when it happens. ··clinical education is most successful whe n d_one informally - in the hallway, cafetena or office setting ... Naugh ton said. " \Vhen) ou go to a hos pital. wh at yo u often see are small groups of physicians cl ustered around talking. T-hat's probably most valuable. "'The problem is that it's random. Everybody might not get everyihing he needs. " That's why classroom instruction can't be eliminated . C he impromptu nature of clinical T teaching is the primary difference between clinical and classroom teaching. Davis noted . An instructor wam.s to be prepared on a number of topics without preparation, but th•- ~ .tfaUs. "The scholarship might no t be entirely Director of Publi c Affairs HARRY JACKSON \'·'. '· . .:-1 ·.·· Nursing Instructor leads student (at right} through examination of patient valid if one calls upon one 's experience rather than the literature's experience." Davis said. The instructor may not remember his experience accu rately or may remember more experience than he actu ally has. .. you have to be on ..guard against exaggeration; gilding the lily." he said . If there's an un usual problem, a good teacher will come. back the next day with ,a reading list for his students, Nolan said. But th e instructor can't. have the list prepared before even seeing the patient. ..You never know what's going to come in," Nolan said . .. You're supposed to be conversant, but you can't always be. So you come back the next day and be more conversant." Clinical instructors are expected to teach. do research and practice. " If you don't have the clinical experience, those skins rust away, .. Nolan said. .. What is taught in the classroom is not what really happens," Aquilina added . For instance, the throat may not always look the way the book says it's supposed to with a certain illness. So combining research, practice and teaching makes one a better educator, she said. But she notes that balancing the three is an ideal. ··vou have to decide what's hu manly possible," Aquilina said. " How much can yo u do? You can't do all three equally well, but that doesn't mean you can't do all three." "I talked n the old days," Naughton said . "we about the 'three-legged stool' - teaching, research and care. ..The tension is, if you give good care to patients. you get more patients and th at can distract you from research or teaching. Or, a good researcher might be tempted to give up the other two. "The challenge for the clinical fac ult ~ member is greater than that fo r other faculty members or a practicing ph y~i­ cian. There are a lot of decisions he or she must constantly make. •· 1 one of the clinical instructors had any magic formulas for balancing teaching. research and practice. Davis said it's just a matter of juggling your priorities for the day. · .. And then you hope not too many • See Clinical Teaching, page 6 Executive Editor, University Pub lications ROBERT T . MARLETT Art Di rector REBECCA BERNSTEIN Associate Ed itor CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ~EAN Weekly Calendar Editor SHRADER �~If l5 October 18, 1984 Volume 16, No. 7 Boo~- 'Lefty' is an impassioned plea for labor ' W By ANN WHITCHER airing fo r Lefty, Clifford Odet's im passioned plea for labor unionism which enveloped its 1935 openi ng audience in its fervor for social justice, is being presented by t he Department of Theatre and Dance, Thursdays through Sundays through Oct. 28 in the Center Theatre, 681 Main Street, downtown. Directed by Saul Elkin, Waiting for Lefty became famo us fo r its stirring effect on the premiere audience which literally joined in the players' end-of-play cry· for labor organizatjon and solid arity. The play also launched the career of Odets (1906-1963) as the leading dramatist of the theater of social protest of his era. First performed on J an uary 5, 1935, by such legendary Group Theater actors as Elia Kazan and Luthe r Adler, Waiting fo r Lefty is set in New York City as members of a taxi drivers· unio n debate "'Whether o r not they sho uld stri ke. Odets based the play on the New York taxi strike of February, 1934. Cab com pany owne rs an d taxi drivers had fought bitterly ove r the d isposi tion of a new municipal nickel surcharge placed on each metered fare. "The owners wanted a 70-30 spli t in their favor, "says Elkin. "The cab drivers, on the other hand, wanted a 50-50 split." The result, he adds, was "unimaginable" strife, until a 3¢-2¢ split of each nickel was decided upon, in favor of the owners. In Waiting fo r Lefty, the cab drivers ' discussions of a possible strike alternate with flashbacks of t heir decidedly a nguished lives. "Odets wanted to reflect on the effects of economic depression on individuals,, says Elkin. ••The power and longevi ty of this play lie in the fact tbat the cha racters are much more substantial on stage than they would seem to be from reading the text. •• The cast includes wellknown Buffalo labo r playwright and acto r Eman uel Fried, who was acting in a companion piece the night Lefty premiered in the Old Civic Repertory Theatre on 14th Street. Other cast members incl ude Richard H ummert, G. Scott Wagner, Tammy R ya n , Matthew McDonough, Lawrence Gregory Smith, Patricia Carreras, Steve Glassman, Bill Crouch, David G. Robinson, Mich_elle Collins, Daniel Reitz, Mark Foerster, Jeff Fuller, Adeeb Lovett and Tracy Mayne. !kin has op ted for a faithful reading of the Odets original. ..This is a very uncluttered play. In fact , the play would suffer from finy ttempt at directorial cleve rness." But 'Elkin points out that you nger audiences will have no connection with tbe bitter Depression years. beyond their possible interest in American history. So the director has included a shon prologue consisting of documentar,y film footage on the Depressio n and the first years of the New Deal. Elkin, whose parC{ltS were both union functionaries "grew ilp with JVaiting for Lefty. ·• Moreover, as a 'yo ung actor E (between 8 and 14) at the Yiddish Art Theatre and Yiddish Art Theatre Stud io in ew York, Elkin worked with actors who had performed in the Lefty premiere. Beyond these personal associations, Elkin has chosen the play as somewhat brooding counterpoi nt to the "uncenain, not necessarily volatile labor sit uatio n in Western New York ." Still, the play. he says, draws its primary force as a riveting historical document. "I think the play speaks to a truly revolutio nary spiri! which has largely disappeared in this country. The era was one time in U.S . history when social revolution might have evolved, but did not. because of the changes brought abou t by the New Deal." And, the 'director adds, the kind of con nection between the theater and real events, which Lefty helped 10 forge. is now only a distant memory, excepting the short-lived protest theater of the 1960s. Commented the noted director Harold Clurman in his 1945 The Fervent Years: "When the audience at the end of the play respo nded to the militant question from the stage: 'Well, what's the answer?' with a spomaneo us roar of 'Strike!' it was something more than a · tribute to the play's effectiveness. more • even than a testimony of the audience's hunger for constructive social action. It was the birth cry of the thirties. Our yout h had found its voice.

That phrase is their oath before all their C\~nts o~r the past 10 years. It is said at local, region-al, state. national , and international games. The athletes who speak it are mentally retarded, of all ages, and ha~ worked hard oYer the years to be able to say ·that one line. 0 Sincerely. - KATHLEEN MOBARAK October 18, 1984 Volume 16, No. 1 minutes, and lived to tell about it. As for myself, I was actually misquoted in the article. I had averaged about 30 miles per ~k (not 10-15) for the two months . prior t.o the Skylon (still "Well short of what I'd considered adequate), but managed to scrape it in to the finish just under 4 hours, my goal upon entering the race. It was mighty satisfying just to finish, because of the doubts I was having after 24 miles, but doubly so in the face of the aforementioned skepticism by more experienced runners. Even though Randy and I did agree afterwar-ds that we would not run another Marathon on such relatively minimal training, the race was every bit as challenging and exhilarating as I'd hoped it would be. You do walk a little taller the day after you finish your first Marathon, ce rtainly out of a feeling of accomplishment, but also because it hurts a 0 little less. Sincerely, - PATRICK HAYES • Hayes and Hollister finished, thank you! Editor: For the record, it sho uld be d1.1f noted that even though skeptics doubted tbar undertrained Marathon runners, 3\'traging Jess than 20 miles per \\ttk. could c~r finish the Skylon race this past \\ttkend (see ''The . Race··. Reporter. October I 1), at least one runner did. Randv Hollister (G.A. in Educational Studies) did-so in about4 hours. 15 • Article said unfair to Right-to-Lifers Editor: Your article ..

On the question of s tud ent input. Malone sa.i d that the issue of a grading scale s hould be decided by the faculty. It is a facully issue that happens to be of in terest to the students, he said. Pr ofessio nal schools can have th eir own gr~ding system as long as they are not less restrictive than the basic policy set down by the senate, Malone said . He nOied that the Law School already has i1s own grading system. The issue of a more finely tun ed grading system will return to th e executive committee for its No . 7 meeting. if not sooner.

Evaluation of a cJinical instructor IS also difficult, Nolan said. In a clinical setting. · a student examines a patient . then the instructor examines the patient to see how well the student did. While the chairman of a department can sit in on a lecture class to see i(the instructor is CO\'ering the material, that approach is impractical in a clinical setting. Feedbac.k from the house officers or students 1s more effective, Nolan said. Still another problem is that some instructors may not observe at the bedside enough, Davis and Nolan agreed. Davis summed up three poin ts th at are important in clinical teaching. First. ho nest data collection is critical. Second. the student must be se nsitive to the patient. to the way the data is collected and t ~ the way it 's discussed in front of the pauent. And last, the student must be made aware of the enormous and everpresent responsibility he has for the patient. .. ··vou can 't walk away from th at. Davis said.

""The words must be supple, co nnected, and attractive to read or the review will faii. " The film critic's mission, he said, ""is to take the metaphor of the film and to put it into words ... Schickel noted that most critics recognize the power a review may have over a movie's future. "One of the defects of reviewing is that (reviews) can be very consequential economically. There is a lot of money riding on most films. and the critical opinion has taken on a dollarsand-cents box office value . " Because reviews can make or break a film , he explained, a critic must constantly be on guard against falling prey to "influence" from the movie community. all hough he, personall y. has ··yet to be offered a starlet·· in exchange for a favorable review. ··some critics can be inOuenccd." he acknowledged .

His credits include the 1976 television special, "Life Goes to the Movies," and the highly acclaimed TV series, "The Men Who Made the Movies." "'I'm probably the only critic who makes fi lms," he noted . "The experience has probably softened me in some ways. because I know what a filmmaker must go through in producing and directing a movie." But, Schickel added, making his own movies also alerts him to mistakes and to sloppy technical work which non· cinefl)atographers would likely miss. Overall, Schickel concluded, film criticism is far from the ideal occupation. ··To be a film critic is to be a second class citizen in the arts."' he complained. ··vou"rejust not looked upon as highly as an art critic o r literary revie\\'er and it's just full of daily problems."" 0 I Names From page 12 alone representing slightly more than half the class - 30 per ce nt bore first names applicable to these categories. he ignificance?

After 12 years at the University at Buffalo, Albino has risen to be its highest-ranking woman administrator, sharing responsibility for dealing with a broad range of administrative issues for 15 University schools and faculties enrolling more than 26,000 students. In her new job as associate provost, AJbino setves as a back-up to Provost William Greiner and bears primary respo nsibility for serving as a bridge between the Office of the President and the deans in the area of faculty and staff personnel matters, such as appointments and matters of promotion and tenure. " I'm enjoying my job tremendously," says Albino. " It 's a great place to get to know the University." Becoming acquai nted with all facets of UB is especially interesti ng to the associate p ~.::ovost inasm uch as her career has been principally in the health sciences. Albino holds a Ph. D. in educational psychology from the Uni versity of Texas at Austin and is a full professor in the UB Department of Behavioral Sciences within the School of A 1 "Career women learn early to balance things." Dentist ry. She also holds a joint appoi ntment in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology. "Although I have been involved princi pally with health professio nals, I never perceived myself as not being involved in the mainstream of academic disci plines," maintains Albino. " It's ki nd of a state of mind ." Albino also holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Texas, where she minored in English and gove rnment. Perhaps because of her varied background, she values diversity in a universi ty as well "The Unive rsity of Texas, which I attended, is oonsiderably larger than UB," she noted . " I love large universities. I treasure the atmosphere of ..so many opponunities - so many people with ex pertise in different-areas. A large number of the facult y at UB are trul y outstand ing. They are kODwn nationall y and internationally in their fields and I find this very ex.c iting." Albino got a chance to o bserve many different universities as a n American Council on Education (ACE) fellow in 1983-84. "U B is comparable to a nu mber of larger research universities with strong aspirations, •• observed the new associate provost. "This is a time when we feel some good things are happening here. There is a lot of optimism in terms of resources and the completion of many of the planned build ings." The purpose of the ACE fellowship syste m is to train leadership for higher education . Each fellow works with a mentor. getting backgro unl in admini tration and an opponunity to see if he or she is interested in the field . President Sample served as Albino's mentor while William Greiner was her secondary mentor. It was th rough her ACE fellowship that her appointmCnt as associate provost came abouc When Greiner became interim vice president for academic affairs, he asked Sample if Albino could continue her fellowship in his office as his assistant. " I had a good idea of what my job would entail and whom I would work with when I took my ,present position." she pointed ou t. ) lthough now very much involved in University administration, Albino sees a strong need to stay involved in scholarly activities of her own ... One of th e things I bring to this office is a st rong identification wi th the needs of the serious scholar,,. she assen s. Presently she holds a five-year researc h grant from th e National Inst itute o f . Dental Research, wo rking into the evenings and on weekends on the Main Street Campus. Albino also plans to return to teaching next semester, and she continues to serve as a member of an NIH (National Institutes of Health) study section, maki ng several trips to Washington, D.C. each year for grant review sessions. In add itio n to her responsibilities as an administrator and a scholar, Albino is also a wife and th e mother of two boys, ages seven and eighL How does the associate provost balance these different and dema nd ing roles? ''I'm not su re I do balance them, •• she mused ... Certain th ings may not be do ne the wa y one likes to do them but the decision is made early on th at some of these th ings may be less imponant. \Vomen in demanding careers Jearn early to look at their family responsi bilities d iffe rently. It's not a matter of valuing home and family less. Also, although I did not always believe it, you really do become much more efficient with children. My husband is selfemployed and has a more Oexible schedule , so he does many of the schooloriented things. He's even a 'roommother· this yea r for one of the kid's classes," she noted wi th humor. A !though Albino describes her new office as ·•open a nd responsive, •• she has had to adjust somewhat to new work styles and attitud es along with a new workload. She reacts wi th modest protestatio ns a t being termed the "'top woman at UB" but it is clear th at the associate provost is co nscious of her position. " I appreciate the fact that UB is interested in promoting the careers of women. President Sample encou raged me to apply for an ACE fellowship . UB is now becoming cOncerned . I t!ti nk, wi th ensuring that women and minori ties have opportunities without engagin~ in •t9kenism'." She noted the excellent JOb that the women faculty members at UB do, but expressed her concern at the relatively small number of women full professors here. •• J'm not sure why this i • bu t there is some truth to the proposi tion th..i!t women have to wofk harder and prove themselves longer in order to gain acceptance. 4 lthought throug~ these. issuCswhen I A began my academic ca reer, .. she remembered . "Twelve years ago the dental school facultywas98 percent male. I was a woman and I was not a dentist. I had to learn the ways of dentistry and the ways of men . I learned to li ve with these differences in worki ng styles and leadershi p styles. Thcy'~ _i nteres t i n g to me as a psychologist and now I'm not at all uncomfonable." Albino's success in the field of dentistry was recognized in 1984 when she was selected for honorary membership in the national dental h onor fraternity Omicron ~appa Upsilon. an honor of which she is justifiably proud . S he is also a fellow of the American Psychological Association and recently se rved as president of Behavioral Scientists in Dental Research, th e major national organization in her field .

It's reaJly a matter of basic scholarty values. A universiry builds its reputation on faculty members who are aggressive in promoting their ideas. ·· she says.

"That"s what Leo C. Curran dia as he thought about ancient Roman practices in naming children. Curran, associate professor of classics, allowed his curiosity to wander into the latter part of the 20th Century. The result is an informal thesis. admittedly non-scientific bul informational. He calls it ... How Girls' ames Keep Women in Their Place." A Ph .D. graduate of Yale and a UB faculty member since 1967, Curran pointed out in an interview that the !}oman Republic, which existed from 410 B.C. to 31 B.C., was strictly a man 's world when it came to names . .. Females in that era had no first names," Curran explained , "but were identified by the name.s of t-h eir fathers or husbands. The ancient Rom ans j ust didn"t take their daughters as seriously as their sons. ·· ~ Julius Caesar, for instance, had a daughter known as Julia - the feminine form of Julius. But it wasn't considered a first name as it is now, simply more of a family name, Curran related. ''It amounted to a spinoff that simply served to ident ify her as Julius Caesar's (j ughtcr. ·· Curran said, funher noting that the system tended .. to keep women in their p]dce." The famous Roman orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, had a daughter cillled ..Tullia.·: Curran explained , however, that as times changed and the Roman Re~ublic became the Roman Empire. the practice of giving girls legitimate first names was accepted - a step forward for womanhood. But .getting a bonafide first name isn't necessarily a guarantee of equal rights for women. Curran pointed out, observi ng that the ancient Greeks bestowed first names on their female offspring .. but treated their women terribly - far worse than tbe Romans.'' 5 ) nter the 20th Century. - . Curran, who in 1980 received a State Universi ty of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, found that a large number of girls' names in today's society seem to fit into specific categories that generally don't apply to boys' names. Curran gave as an example his analysis of a sub urban Buffalo high school graduation program. listing 780 graduates. He declined to identify the school. As for the authenticity of the names, he suggested that names listed in a graduation program would be presented as formally as possible - no nicknames. For instance, the. program would identify a student as Charles rather than .. Chuck" or "Charlie ... For one thing. Curran has concluded that girls' names collectively, are .. more creative" than boys' names. His analysis showed that the .. vast majority" of boys' first names, as. culled from the graduation program, fit in to four categories: Biblical names (John, David): family names (Douglas. Russell , Scott); Germanic (Jeffrey, Robert, Richard), and Myth (Jason). Girls' first names. on the other hand, arc placed by Curran in these same four categories as well as in seven additional categories. The added categories are: • Diminutives (informal versions of ot her names or what might be considered nicknames): Julie {Julia), Cathy (Catherine), Lisa (Elizabeth), Beth (Elizabeth), Vicki (Victoria). • U nu sua ~ s pelling: Kathryn , Caryl. Debra, Leesa, Ro byn. • Double names: Mary Ann, JoAnn. JoMarie, GraceMarie. Boys, the UB classics professor pointed out. seldom are given double first names, except in th e deep South, where Billy Joe can be found. • Common nouns and adjeC!tives: Robin. Holly, Dawn, Heather, Donna ( Italian for "lady'), Cheryl (from the French "dear"), Linda (Spanish for "pretty'). • Irish place and family names: Kerry. Shannon, Erin, Kelly. • Boys' names that all but ceased to be used for boys after they were used for girls: Kim, Evelyn, Robin. Jodi, Dana. • Names that seem to be totally original or creative: Darlene, Jana, Marlisa. Annelie. Loren. Some name . Curran admitted , conceivably could be placed in more th an one category. Curran found that of the 780 graduates listed in the program he analyzed, 128 gi rls - and 10 boys - fit into one of the seven more-or-less exclusive girls' categories.

" FM88's coverage of the pri maries· was the most extensive in Western New York ," said FM88 News Director Mark Scott. 'We not only included extended local coverage of the New York Primary (reported by Mike Freeman) , but our coverage included hourly reports on the other primaries , such as Pennsylvania and New Hampshire." FM88 was the only local station to carry live reports from both the Democratic and Republican convention floors (from NPR) and when President Reagan and Vice Presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro were in Buffalo on separate occasions, FM88 aired both of their addresses in thei r entirety the eveni ng of their visits on the 7 P. M. Report. Provocative political analys is has been prov ided by UB Pol itical Science professor Dr. Lester Milbrath , adding another dimension to FM88's comprehensive coverage. Dr. Milbrath was heard on UB Forum. NPR's coverage of this year's campaigns has also provided FM88 listeners w ith different views. NPR reporters have spoken with families across the nation. have taken in numerable polls to determine people's stands on issues and even spoke with a voice and speech expert who analysed how both Reagan's and · Mondale's speech patterns and voice quality could affect how their ideas and statements are received by voters. Election '84 night coverage will begin at 5 p.m. with NPA 's Atl Things Considered focus ing on the elections. Coverage will continue throughout the night featuring local reports from FM88 news staff onthe-scene for local coverage , and NPA staff in Washington for coverage of the Presidential race.

Message from the Manager ovember brings not only a Presidential Election Day but an FM88 on-air fundra i ser i n which we ask for donations of financial support from our listeners. Called the " FM88 Phone-in ," the fund drive is scheduled for November 9-18. Public radio stations, unlike commercial outlets, make no revenue from selling commercials . Most public stations depend greatly upon the generosity of their listeners . WBFO/ FM88. like other noncommercial stations. holds on-air fundraisers. However. FMBB's fundraisers differ from most other listener support campaigns . We hold major fundraisers only twice each year, as infrequently as any other public radio station in the nation actively engaged in fundraising: we don't bother our listeners often , hoping that when we ask for contributions , our l isteners will understand that the fund drive is important. We fundraise throughout our 24-hour-per-day schedule, encouraging listeners to support their favorite prog rams. Our premium-level contributions are relatively inexpensive. We try to" be direct and straightforward in' our "pitches, " and we have even received compliments for our fund raising! However, compliments don't pay the bills , and we are asking you and our other listeners to make a pledge of a generous contribution of any amount you believe appropriate during November 9-18. When you call 831-2555 to pledge during our fundraiser, you help make our con tinued operations and programming possible. Please note that we ask only for your telephone call and pledge in the "Phone-in:" you would then be billed to pay at your convenience. If you prefer. you can even charge your pledge on your Visa or Mastercard, or pay your pledge in installments. Your employer may even match your pledge at a 1:1, 2:1 or even 3:1 level. You may wish to check with your empl oyer to determ ine whether your plecge could result in a bonus for FM88. N Whatever you can affoidto contribute will mean much to FM88. Contributions are tax-deductible, and build upon your own special relationship with a special radio station . We would greatly appreciate your becoming an important part of the " FM88 Phone- i n" November 9-18. Thanks for helpIng.... - BOB SIKORSK I General Manager.

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.

LAPIANA A !though their numerical academic credentials are somewhat lower than those of their immediate predecessors. the UB Law School"s 1984-85 first-year students reflect the school's campaign to elevate .. personal factors" to a more important role in the admissions process. According to Helen Crosby, Law School registrar, the entering class's Law School Admissions Test (LSAT ) score median was 36. down one point from las t yea r; median grade poinl)average (G PA) also fell from th e 1983 mark . The Class of 1986. o n average, scored a 3.4 G PA during their undergraduate yea rs. while the new enrollees averaged 3.3. Crosby said no statistics are available on the first vea r students' ranking in their undergraluate classe . The Law School Adm issio ns Service ( LSAS). with the Educatio nal Testing Service, adm inisters the LSAT U'il'd by almost every law chool with varying degrees of imponance for admissions. LSAS es timat es th iit a 36 score ranks a student wi th in the 75 th percentile of those who took the test. However. LSAS -officials caution, such rankings change from test to test. All rece nt law enrollees were not necessar ily tested at the same time. nor did they t.ake the sa me test. L..ast academic year, the LSA T was offered four times in New York State and , due to the S tate's Truth-in-Testing Jaw, each exam was com pletel y different. But, warned C ros by, loo king a t- the admissions process on ly through numeri· cal standard s may be mislead ing. since the admissions committee changes the cri te ria and the weig hing of individual fac tors each yea r. "Th is year's sco res may just be a refl ectio n of th e committee 's current preference . •· she said . Crosby noted that the committee was especially interested in an a pp licant's "perso nal factors" - life experiences and special circ umstances no t mirrored by standardized scores. "Almost every file (ap pl ica tio n) we received was indi vidua lly reviewed by the committee." s he ex plai ned. ··There were fewe r aut o matic acce ptattces on just numbers th an we have had in th e past.

Consider the following typical episode in the Columbus saga. Bear in mind no Spaniard in Columbus· company had e\'efseen a gold field in this area of the Caribbean. There \\ere none. In 1495 the Columbu brothers Christopher. Diego and Bartolome - establi hed a tribute system in the Cibao region of what is now Haiti and the Dominkan Republic (christened Hispaniola by Columbus). At three month intervals every male and female O\'CT 14 was required to give the Spaniards the equivalent of a small bell filled with gold dust. A chief ten times that amount.

During two years of Colum bus· administration roughly half the island's Native~ (estimat ed to be 300.000 in 1492) ei th er were killed or committed suicide.

Samuel Eliot Morison - the acknowledged American authorit)' and reci pient of a Nobel Pri z.e for his biograph y of the Italian explorer - wants us to believe.

Elsewhere Morison offers no evidence for the word "partly...

A less amnestic view might be that the unfortunate atives of Hispaniola met the first of a bloody bunch of ambassadors Renai ssance Europe dispatched to colonial frontiers throughout the world: sword-swinging missionaries and biblebanging soldiers who used God and gold as interchangeable currency in their campaign of conquest and plunder. There were damn few exceptions. On the fourth trip, the one Columbus called his High Voyage, he scribbled in his journal, "Gold is most excellent. With gold " 'C have wealth. He who possesses it does what he will in the world. even to the point of sending souls to Paradise." Indeed. in Columbus' case. simply hankering after the shiny stuff was sufficient cause to do as he plea ed with the souls who stood in his way. fhough this side of Columbus has begun to appear in textbooks in recent years, the story still strikes the average student as morally remote and , \\'tiL slightly cartoonish. Okay, so he was a moody guy who was mean to the lnd tans. What's it got to do with me and m\ problems? Everything. The Europeans who settled this country and thus shaped its and our spirit, viewed it as a tabula rasa. an empty frontier. Whatever contradictions they found - indigenous peoples, wilderness - they erased . The Atlantic crossing signaJed a break with history. This sense of disjunction and dislocation and the nostalgia that inevitably attends it is deeply rooted in the American mythos. Our tradit ional contempt for history and our antiintellectualism, while always a hazard for us, are often lethal for others. The c urrent Preside nt, the man likch to retain the helm till 1988. personifies historical amnesia: He·s an actor whose sense of who we are and where we came from is drawn from and packaged for our media culture, America·s substitute for history and community. Ronald Reagan's entire foreign policy would fit snugly into a 30-second commercial break. What's worse, the style and language would be indistinguishable from the ads that precede and follow it. As Eric Bentley says in Thearer of War. .. The most important American of our time is John Wayne ... Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan are only camp followers of Wayne, supporting playe rs in the biggest Western of them all, hitched to Wayne's Stflr. In an age when the image is the principal thing, Wayne is the principal image, and if the soul of this image is machismo ... its bod y is the body poli1ic, and its name is anticommunism.

More ~ over, such differences preclude a total eras ure of tensions between the two, argued the distinguished Mexican novelist and former diplomat Carlos Fuente in a UB appearance last week: Furthermore, he said, the U.S. can ease Western hemisphere tensions by adhering to a pol· icy of non-interference and respecting the rights of Latin American nations to tread their own paths, however torturous and beset with problems. More to the point, said Fuentes, who addressed a packed Slee Hall in the 1984 Fenton Lecture presented by the Office of C ultural Affairs, the U.S . exacerbates tensions by interfering in the first place. For example, C.I.A. involvement in Cuban affairs before and during the illfated Bay of Pigs invasion had the effect of solidifying Castro"s power in Cuba. And , he argued , such American position papers as the recently-issued report from the Kissinger Commission on Central America, ignore the fact that revolutions and revolutionary activity spring from .. indigenous .. causes. In any case, he said, in terference by an outside power, whether it be from the U.S. or the Soviet Union, cannot engender revolution.· .. Revolutions are unique. They are born from local causes and nothing on earth can create theln anificially .... No revolution in this hem- T isphere came to power with more decisive extra-continental backing than the American Revolution,.. he said , citing French support for the American revolutionary effort. '"But the .fact that the (American) Revolution was supported fro m abroad did not transform the founding fathers into agents of the Bourbon monarchy in France. ..The fact that the American Revo lution is imperfect and marred by slavery and deep social inequalities would not have justified a counter-revolution organized by a foreign power citing undemocratic aspects" of the U.S. character, he said. ''Revolutions are not like bananas. They cannot be imported or exported," argued Fuentes. In his view, they spring from a host of specifically local circumstances and a panoply of compte;< historical factors. In the case of Latin America. he said, tbese factors include the auth orityseeking background of Latin American nations, most of which were former SpaniSh possessions, and bear an utterly different legacy than that of the United States. "You belong to the trad ition ofthecus· tom &r}\ unwritten law, the common law. We belong to the Roman legal tradition where nothing exists unless it is written. You were born in perfect consonance with the values of modernity, the wed.lock of religion and economics, (ree enterprise, free inquiry, self~govemment , sec ul arism ... skepticism, separation of powers, checks and balances ... . We were born in perfect discord with those kinds of values." cui~ o n this "dangerous tural divide,·• Fuentes com mented, E laborating .. You are innocently equipped for democracy with all its failings .... We were not (similarly equipped) simply because the realities in which you ha ve established yo ur own dem oc racy were absent'' from what Fuentes called the ''ordained orderings" and the "languorous .. and .. baroque" sensibilities of Latin American history and culture. . Moreover, violence and religion are part of the Latin American cultural fabric, Fuentes said. He noted, however. that violent revolution has more often than not been t he exce pt ion in 20th century Latin America. Still: the U.S. wou ld do well "not to demand instant democracy in other cou ntr ies." It also should not ignore Latin American emphases. in recent years, .. on building modern states ... Such emp hases, he said. have generally superseded "'the urge to build a democracy in the eccentric reaches of the forme r Spanish Empire... In general, said Fuentes, the U.S. sh?uld respect the natural rhythm of Latin American politics. It shoilld definitely stop its present support ofl'he rebel forces in Nicaragua. Fuentes warned : "'The invasion of Nicaragua by the only fo rce capable of toppling the Sandinistas. the armed forces of the United States. wou ld not be a swift. dramatic operation as in Grenada. The Sandinistas are thoroughly prepared to take on an armed rejistance they led only six years ago .. . . One of the most violent civil wars this hemisphere has known would ensue.·· The American government. he contended, fears the rise of nationalism in formerly subservient Latin American couqtries more than it fears the presence of any "ideological tag.·· In fact, th is has been the case throughout the history of U.S.-La tin American relations. he said. noting that the Mexican Revoluti on was ""bitterly opposed by the United States. yet it was not pro-Marxist. pro-Leninist o r pro-Soviet in any sense:• Fuentes urged the U.S. "to be a civili7ing presence in th e hemisphere;" ~a id Lat in Americans .. can so lve ou r own problems if left to ourselves;" and declared that the U.S. " must respect nego tiat ed agreements arrived at without .S. intervention.·· He added , ·· t would like to believe th at a major power such as the United States. accompanied by friend s in thi ~ hemisphere and in Europe, can find multiple. creative, posi tive ways to deal constructively with th e new-born revolu ti on~·· and "to bring abo ut social cha nge." uring a question-and-answer session. Fuentes said that "bad though D so me Latin American dictators may be.'' Latin Americans "arc not goi ng to let you impose yo ur sol uti ons on us:·· argued that a full-scale U.S. in tervention in Nicaragua would never receive Ameri can public support;" and said he is .. very pessimistic about the chances fo r a peaceful solution in Central America ... Fuen tes said th e possibility remains. however. for an "ho norable'· solution u~;ng all the diplomatic cha nnels available. Asked about papal criticism of Lat in American pries ts who advocate ,the socalled " theology of liberation:· Fuentes said Pope John Paul II should not affirm a political"militancy" on the part of Polish priests that he forbids when followed by the Poles·, Latin American counterparts. D - Senate proposal is still unclear. he said. Even the Trustees who were at the meeting can't divine a common rationale. In other business.

Carrying only a few jewels and even more precious American dollars smuggled out with them. the Cadalzos swapped their stormy lives under a Communist regime for an uncertain future in a country whose culture and language were foreign and where immigrants. even political refugees. were usually the brunt of vicious jokes·rather than the objects of toasts. Fifteen years later. t he Cadalzos American gamble has paid off. Jose Cadalzo is a respected downs tate businessman, his oldest son Emmanuel is a lawyer. second son Jose is a graduate student in electrical engineering. and his youngest son, Raul, is a junior aerospace engineering major at U 8 after transfer-' ring ffom the S aval Academy. But the road from Cuban countryside to American suburbia was far from smooth: it was pockmarked by threats a{ execution. humiliation. financial depri\*ation. and the disintegration of close family ties. Still. Raul Cadalzo admits. the result justified the tribulations. "Mv ,larem were not in favor of the go,er-n mCn·t and asked in 1964 to be exiled to th e nited Srates." he explained . "Howcwr. before Castro let us go. he made .liS suffer for it (for the decision)_ .. Th e wrath of the dictator's infant government took little time to materialize. Once a res pected and pros perous "upper middle class family."the Cadalzos quickly b~camc persona non grata. ''The go,ernment took everyth ing we had my parent s ' jobs. our car. mone y. ·· Cadalzo said . "\Ve \I.'Crcn't ~ ntitled even to ha\'C basic home repairs . Whe n so mething would break down. th at would be the end of it... · Before their decision to lea\'e Cuba, Jo>e and Maria Cadalzo were employed as a pharmacist and school teacher respccti\'ely~ but soon after their request. job occupational reassignments quickly followed . Maria became a .. menial'' factory line worker and Jose was juggled from one unskilled job to another. One of Jose's man y post-pharmacist position s, Raul noted. was as a taxi driver. a job that almost cost him his life. On one occasion, Jose was employed 10 dri ve a couple from Holguin. the Cadalzos' home city. to Havana Airport. where they would catch a plane to the United States as Cuban-government approved refugees. However. upon arrival in Havana. the state police, who had a tendency to be .. somewhat paranoid •· about non-sanctioned exiles. arrested Raul's father under the suspicion that he was anempting to "sneak out of Cuba.·· soon as the family seHied into their subterranean quarters a claim was put in for Emmanuel to come to the U.S: from Spain. W T dangerous underworld of the black market. For four years, Jose and Maria journeyed into the Cuban countryside on clandestine missio ns to buy needed food from enterprising farmers. "We had to go through hell just to eat,·· Raul said. But, probably the most difficult thing, Raul explained , was the decision to split the family, hopefully ensuring a later rendezvous in the United tates. In 1968, Emmanuel. the Cadalzos· o ldest child. then 14. received his ··approval to leave Cuba" although the other family members did not. The family was forced to decide whether Emmanuel should take advantage of the approval and go on to Spain. where the government intended to relocate him, or remain in Cuba in hopes that the entire clan would receive permission to leave together. Complicating matters was a Cuban law mandating that every youth of 15 years must enlist in the military. If Emmanuel chose to stay and the family was unable to leave Cuba before his fifteenth birthday. Raul explained, then he could have been forced to remain behind. " If Emmanuel decided to stay and was drafted into the military, the whole family. my parents decided , was going to remain in Cuba," Raul said. Having him go to Spain "was probably our only opportunity .. to get out later. or ihe next II days. Jose was detained in a Havana jail. and preparations were being made for his execution , although no evidence to prove the police's accusation was presented nor was any sort of trial ever scheduled. "While my father was being held , my mother was told that he was going to be hung," Paul recalled . "Eventually they did tell her he was executed ." But rather than quietly accept her husband 's fate. Maria Cadalzo began calling governmeni officials, explaining her husband's plight and attempting to dispel the accusations Emmanuel did leave for Spain where against him. Soon . she contacted an old he lived. awaiting a family reunion, in a family friend , Raul Castro, brother of the monastery. Since permi ssio n for the Cuban dictator. Although a foe to his remainder of the family to leave Cuba brother's policy, as a member of Cuba's was far from certain, Raul said that first family, he still commanded respect Emmanuel's departure was a traumatic and, more importantly, a tacit authority_Through Raul Castro's influence, the _ experience for all concerned .

" And when prison's warden was convinced of Emmanuel got on the plane, we had no Cadalzo'sinnocence and he was released . idea whether we would ever see him But the Cadalzos' woes did not end again." when the jailer freed Jose.

There is no question that the only reason Castro did this was for (ina ncial purposes." Raul said . "Cuba needed money, so Castro charged an arm and a leg for people to go there." Raul 's parents accepted Castro's offer. partly ou t of homesickness and also because Maria's" mother was ill. ·• M y parents wanted me to come along so 1 could m"-t my relatives and see th e country where I was born , •• Raul explained , but , like Emmanuel a decade earlier, the problem of his tumin~ 15 and facing mandatory army enlistment shallered that plan. "To go back to Cuba. the exiles had to give up any rights they had as American citizens and use a Cuban passport ." Rau l explained ... There were rumors, wh ich later were found to be true, that so ns wh o were 15 when the y returned with thc 1~ families to Cuba for visits , were kept there and no t allowed to return."

""There were man~ riots and robberies as a res ult of thi!> jealousy... Soon after Cuba was ope ned'" 'its _exiles. Castro closed it once again. And the so-called "Freedom Flotilla " Castro launched in 1981 to the U.S. wO>. Raul insists, a way for the dictator to .. g~t back at America" for the troubles caused during the"Open Cuba" project. At first. the Americans believed the Floti lla consisted of political exiles "h o cherished the thought of living in America for its freedoms and l ibertic~ . However, it was later discovered th at the boats carried primarily criminals and homosexuals - the Flotilla had become Castro ·s device to clear out his prisom. "The Flotilla has given Cubans the worst possible image," he said. "Many people think we're just a bunch of criminals... Should the Castro government fall and democracy germinate in Cuba. Raul believes his parents may return. not so much from national love but to rekindle familial t ics. " \V e' re very famd ~ oriented.·· he repeated, .. and I'm sure that they would want to go back .·· However. 11 is a d ifferent story for the younger generation of Cadalzos. '' I wouldn't nun d going back for a visit,'' Raul said . '' BUI that's probably all." Raul considers him· self an American. and due to his un ique: background believes he has special obligations. He enrolled in the ~a, al Academy, where he eventually "a~ forced to leave due to medica} problem'. ··t felt that I owed something to this cOUiltry," he ex plainctl. "By joining the se rvice I was beginning to pa y back my debt w the United States.·· C Raul Cadalzo: he considers himself an American with special obliga tions to this country. could leave for the United States and begin new lives there ·•from scratch." And the Cuban government literally meant scratch. Refugees were not allowed to bring any luggage or perso nal belongings with them ,just. Raul said , "the clothes on their backs." His parents did, however, successfully sneak out a small amount of jewelry and American currency. Raul noted his family was one of the last groups to leave Cuba legally under Castro's exile program. which was ended later in 1969. After arriving in Miami, the Cadalzos were faced with another choice. For the previous decade Miami had been inundated with Cuban refugees and the State of Florida refused to accommodate any additional immigrants . The o~ly locales open to the exiles were California and New York , where the Cadalzos had distant relatio""s in Freeport Long Island. After selecting the Empir~ State, the Cadalzos were forced to start life over. .. The four of us lived in a cramped basement."

If not for health and fit ness reasons. then why do they run marathons? The reasons are many. For Ben Agger it i.s the actual regime of training that fascinates him. He finds th at the problem of training at high mileages without succumbing to injury is the real challenge, more so than the race itself. For runners such as Rand y Holli ter and Patrick Hayes, the attraction of the marathOn lies in the desire lO see how their minds and bodies will react to severe physical stress: for Lee Dryden (Master of College H) it is in the camaraderie that one ex periences when one trains with feUow marathoners. None of those interviewed mentioned even onre th at they run th e marathOn in order to ~dn. In an age where there are no more Mou nt Evc rests to cli mb. people are c rea ting their <fwn mountains - and for thi reason every finisher in a marathon con idcrs him!,elf or herself a winner. Morco\er. the marathon i!, one of th e few sporting even ts availab le where the ordinary can rub shoulders wit h the elite and the professional firsthand. rather than through~he TV tube; where even age doesn't have to be a barrier as Robert Henderson. Student Development Program director. (in the 50 to 59 age group) points out: and perhaps most importantly. where because of such variables as weather and terrain years of exp~ r ience and training will not guarantee that one will win the race. This was nowhere more clearly and graphically demonstrated J.han in the recent Olympic races in Los Angeles. n the first ever women 's Oly mpic marathon race. millions watched Joan IBenoit di play a clean pair of heels to th ~ matriarch of women's marathon racers: Grete Wait7 . ln the men's marathon race. the e\'ents were e'en more dramat ic. All the media hoopla and hype. and ABC's "Upclose and Personal" biographical ske tches of the three supposedly top contenders (including the world marathon reco rd holder. .S.A.'s Alberto Sala1.ar) were of no avail in predicting the eventual winner: an ··unknown·· 37-)Car-old c rosscountry champion from Portugal. Carlos Lopes. Ironically. Lopes had managed to com plete only one of the three previous marathons he had attempted. The media was ~o unprepared for the Lopes victory that they did not even have a tran slator ready for the immediate post-race intervic". The other flWO medalists. J oh n Treacy of Ireland (silver) and Charlie Spcdding of the nitcd Kingdom were also .. unknowns." ~ex t to the, Olympic marathon. the John.Peradotto: "dean ' of UB marathon runners. seco nd oldest marathon series is the Boston athon which has been held annually since 1897. Steeped in tradition. the Boston marath o n remains, after the Olympic marathon, the most prestigious e\ent of its kind in the world. Here at UB among those who've had the privilege to run in Boston are Carl Pegels and that vetera n "king of the road" Classics Professor and former Dean of Undergraduate Educati(>n. John Peradotto. Peradotto's running ca reer over the last decade has brought him first to third place wins in numerous races ranging from two miles to the half-marathon, and a spc~­ tacular mara thon time (for his age group of 50 to 59) of2 hrs. 56 mins. 50 sees. last year in Cleveland. Among the U B Skylon runners this year there will be a number offirs t -timer~ (such as Lee Dryden a nd Mathematics Professor Jonathan Dimock). What advice do veteran runners have for them? Jim Mills. who will be running hi s fifth Skylon this year. advises that 'plenty of nuid s sho uld be taken at every "watering point. " Considering that even on a cool day body te mperature can spiral up to 104 ° F . during a marathon. fluid replacement i absolutely critical to preven t hyperthermia which can be fatal. It is a good idea to drink 15 to 20 ozs. of fluid 15 minutes before the start of the race. Milb also ad\i~C!, sucking the orange~ that organi7Crs usually provide during the race. The fructose in the o range!, will assist in maintaining blood ~ugar levels "hich c<.~nnot be allowed to drop 50 per 1..cnt below normal. as this will lead to hypoglycemia and place the life of the br:.tin in jeop:.trdy. This does not imply. however. that one can gorge o n candy or other carbohydrates during the race. Total gl ucose intake must be limited to 5 grams per 100 mi. of water. And it must be poin ted ou t that no amount of glucose ingestion during the race will prevent collision with that well-known hazard : the "wall ... The "wall" is both a psychological and physiological barrier that all marathQners run into at roushly the 20-milc m"{k . (The difference. of cou r!,e. il-l that the welltrained and experienced runners tend not to notice it as much as do the average runners. ) Physiologically, explains Peradotto, the marathoner runs out of a key body fuel : glycogen which the body can store only in limited quantities (roughly "Long distance races require courage, faith, . discipline, and miles of training." 450 grams maximum). Psychologically. there is mental disorientation . The end result is that depending upon the severity of the encounter with the wall the marathoner is unable to maintain his pace, there is considerable pain and fatigue. and a deep depression sets in with thoughts of aborting the race becoming uppermost. Explaining this feeling, Lionel Lewis. professor of sociology. says that "even if you arc told that on ly half a mile is left and that at the end of it a prize will be give n. you feel it 's not worth it." not to get caught up in I ttheis important rush at the start of the race. Lewis says, and to maintain an ev..en · pace throughout. A slow stan combined with an even pace allows the body to bum a com bination of both fatty acids (which take longer to mobilize, but provide more energy per uni t) and glucose (which is more easily accessible but is stored in limited quantities), thereby prolonging the period over which glucose is available. To assist in a more rapid mobilization offauy acids from the adipose tissue, one may want to drink strong. sugarless, black coffee about an hour before the race. The caffeine in it will mimic the hormone responsible for · this mobilizatio n: epinephrine. No food. candy, etc. should be consumed at least two to three hours before the race as this may lead to .. rebound hypoglycemia" as a consequence of overproduction of insulin stimulated by the carbohydrate. Mo;zover, insulin acts against fatty acid mobilization. To help prevent embarrassing .. pitstops·· during the race. it may be advisable to concentrate o n liquids rather than solids on the day preceding the race. Marathon running can be addictive, though some UB marathoners have managed to break the habit. Tom Headrick. dean of the Law School, now prefers golf, while Jim Webster of SEL (a victim of ··marathon burn-o"ut '"' after running three closely-spaced marathons) has taken to playing bag-pipes. As in previous SkyIons. Webster and his colleagues of the Gordon Highlanders wtll provide mu ic at the stan and finish of the race. If the run-of-the-mill balk at running 26.2 miles, they should conside r this: for some 1he marathon distance is simply a shan jog. For them the real race is the ullra-marathon (comprising distances of 50. 100. and more miles). Here at UB among those wbo have run an ultramarathon are Raben Henderson and Bruce Sun . Both have run in the annual Nickel City 50 mile ultr~-marathon organized by UB alumnus David Broad. who in spring in tend s to o rgan ize BuffaJo's first-ever 100 mile ultra-marathon. For Bruce Sun. last year·s 50 mile race was simply-preparation for a more grueling run in December. He. on his own initiative. ran around his homeland , Taiwan, to raise money for a national sporu fund . Day after day. for a period of 22 davs he ran an average of some 30 miles peT day to complete the distance of slightl y under 700 miles! Although a sizeable number of B faculty and students run marathons. it is surpri ing that there i~ no cluJ:> on campus, nor is there any coaching assistance a\'ailable from the Athletic Department. say!, Bruce Sun. In re!,ponsc to this vacuum. a number of runners o n Main St., notably Wilson Pr'out. are considering organizing a campus club. D Y. G-M. Lulat Is a doctoral student from Zambia.

Rennie, vice president for research. The awards will be financed by the Research DeveJopment Funds re1ained by his office. The four categories of support are organized research center planning and program development grants, individual faculty development grants, research seed grants, and major equipment matching grants. .. The purpose of the awards, especially the center development grants. is to increase external support for faculty research and graduate student training while enhancing overall professional development," Ren nie says. The centers will become permanent addi tions to the University with continuing institutional support for core staff and facilities, subject to periodic review. For that reason, Renn ie has allocated funds for the preparation of thorough planning grants. "We in lend lo fundal leas! 10 and possibly as many as IS cen1er planninggranlS I his year," con tinues Renn ie. Applications for those grants - not to exceed $10,000 must be submilled lo Rennie's office before November IS. To qualify for consideration the centers must show an interdisciplinary approach to problems of national importance. Addilionally, !hey musl have tbe endorsemen1 of appropriate department chairs and deans. "We're looking for the identification of cammal) denominators that will draw together faculty from different disciplines,"' says Rennie. A variety of research emphases, staffing patterns. and administrative plans are expected and encouraged . .. But we11 insist that the centers live up to their name, that they be much more than an ad hoc collection of individuals whose research happens lo overlap in some places." adds Rennie. The centers are intended to formalize and provide institutional suppon for existing inlerdisciplinary relationships as well as idenlify new areas !hal will parley individual expertise into novel team projects. "Structured properly, administered by a dynamic direclor and prudently concentrating the talent we have at UB, the research centers should become intellectual magnets thal draw external support, .. s.ays Re~n ie. . . . .

LULAT t the beginning everything was goirig well. · Then suddenly without any warning, mid-way in the race his legs went dead . "I fell apart. My legs had 'rigor mortis'," says Ernie Woodson, map, librarian in the Science and Engineering Library (SEL) as 'he reminisces about his first marathon. For the rest of that race he shuffled through in much pain and discomfort. "I 'should have quit the race, but I didn't," he continues. Yet, in spite of that grueling ordeal , he became hooked on running marathon races, as have a number of other members of the US community from a variety of areas and disciplines. Witness the following sample: Education (Jim Mills); Engineering (Bruce Sun); Dentistry (Bob Johnson); Health Sciences .1,-ibrary (Wilson Prout) ; Mathematics (A. Dean MacGillivray) ; Law (Robert Reis); Classics (John Peradotto). A "'- in the past, th is year once again A s(Saturday, October 13, at 10 a.m.) UB faculty and students wiU be part of that motley one and a half thousand or so crowd of yo ung and old, male and female, the able and the disabled, the serious and the not so serious, and the calm and the nervous that gathers annually fo r the Skylon .International Marathon race. This lime the start of the 26.2 mile race has been moved to downtown Buffalo (o n Delaware near Mohawk) from the traditional spot, at the back of the Albright-Knox Gallery. The Skylo n Marathon is one of the few truly international races, since it involves crossing an international border as it meanders from Buffalo to the finis h in f~ont of the Hyd ro building in iagara Falls, On tario. In spi te of the superb organization of the race (involving hundreds of dedicated volu nteers) and the fact that it has been the venue for both the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic maratho n trials, miles a week in the months preceding a "They will not fi nish the race," be said, the event does not attract to p in te rna- yace, according to English Professor .. and you can quo te me-o n this . ., Philo- the actual race itself. The faint of heart may recall that according to legend the · tional runners. The reason is prlnci~ pally lack of pri>.e money - whether under or over the table. Coo idering tha t races such as the New Y.ork City marat hon and the Toronto marathon ring in a weekend income fOJ their cities going intt the millions, it is sur~ prising that the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce has not shown much interest in the event. Preparing for a marathon race requires a lot of courage and faith in oneself, disciplioe of mind, and miles and miles of training. While elite runners can average up to and over 100 Davr Willbem, the usual average considered as the minimum necessary for so phy Professo r John Corcoran was first person to ever run the marathon equally insistent. saying that a person ru nning even 20 miles average per week will almost certainly not finish. .. Yo u can't pretend you can run •on distance, a Greek by the name of·Pheidippides, dropped dead at tbe cod of gu ts because you will eventually fall ingly, many ·ofthose interviewed com- apart,.., says Willbern. pletely downplay this aspect . " I do not run for health reasons," Ernie Wood· son said flatly. In fact. Ben Agger. pro- completing the race is between 50..6() miles a week. When told that some UB runners intend to run their first marathon .this year o n the basis of a mere 10 to 15 miles average base (such as Randy .Hollister, G.A. in the Faculty of Ed ucational Studies, and Patrick Hayes. a career planning counselor in Capen), Management Science and Sy\tems Development Chairman Carl Pegels, himself a veteran of many ma rathon , was aghast . He was adamant that such an average waSi too low. Considering the he~vy demands that preparation for a marathon places on one's body. mi nd, and time - very often involving painfu l injuries those who prefer a sedentary way of life often wonder why marathon runners innict such \· punishment.. on themselves . And this is not to mention the: run. Perhaps these marathoners are health and fitness freaks . Surpris- fessor of sociology. says that running marathons is a dangerous way of keep- ing healthy because one risks all kinds of injuries. For a few, however, health does come into play. albeit indirectly.

An American uni~rsi ty guarantees its stu· denu tbeK rights on a campus only by treating them as citize ns of a larger society. Uni\letsity disciplinary proc:esses take appro-priateact ion when student conduct d irectly and significantly interferes with the University's p rimary educational responsibility of insuring all members of its community the opportunity to attain their educational objectives in consonance with the insti· tution's mandate . ~ regulations go~ming stu· dent behavio r have been form ulated to be reasonable and realistic fo r all studenu. When a student has been apprehended for the violatio n of a law of the community. the state. or nation. it is the Uni\-crsity's position not to request or. agree to special consideration for the student becaus.e of his or her student status. It should be understood that the University is not a law enforcement agency. At the same time. the Univcr· sity does not conceive of itself as a ..sanct ua ry'" for law breakers. The University lias always been and shou ld continue to be concerned that whe~vcr s tu­ dents arc involved in lega) problems they be adc-. quately advised and represe nted by qualifted counsel. Student.s who viola te a loca l ordinance, or any law, risk the legal penalties prc5eri bed by civil ~ auth ori ties . However. vaolationof la wforwhich the student pays the penalty will not necessarily involve a violation of academic standards or rules of the Uni\~ rsi t y . The University cannot beheld rc:sponsi· blc for off-ca mpus activities of its ind ivid ual stu· dents. Howe\-cr. in cases involving violations of the law wh ich occur on campus. the Uni\-crsity may have to be concerned with the aspects. which by their nature adversely affect the University educataonal mission . In any nh-ersity d isciplinary procedure one of the highest priorities of the Unh-ersity is the safe· guard of a student"s Fo urtcc-mh Amendment righ t to due process. Due process is not an evasi\OC legal concept but rather simply requires the rudimentary ~~~~'::! . .!~tirJ~~;e-~~t;~~!~l':a?yp:=~r;! will at least afford the defendant a clear statement of the charges against him or her,and the nature oft~ · evidence upo n which the charges arc based . Secondly. the d efend ant shall be given a fair hearing, be allowed to confront and cros.s~nmine witnesses. and present his or her own position, evidence and ex planation. Lastly. no d iscipl inary action will bt taken unless the charges are substantiated by the evidence. The courts have indicated that if these minimal clementS of '"fair play- arc fulfilled. the defendant will have bee n afforded due process under the lav. . In summary. the University expects and asks for its members no greater or no less freed om or liberty than exislS for other pe~ns in society. The Unh~r­ sity's pos1tion , therefore. is not to request oragrttto spec1al considennion because Of the stude nt•s sta· tus. The University will not interfere with law enforcement and other agencies. As pan o f its educa tional mandate, it will be c.o ncerncd about student rehabilitation . I.

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 U B officials were considering bow or if to pursue the matter, a trustee, a local legislator, a nd t he Buffalo N~w.s continued to champion a move to have the Board grant UB alone the freedom to upgrade its sports programs. University officials were q ujck to se parate themselves from any legislative action. Rather, P resident Steven B. Sample said, it is his intention to look mo re closely at what can be done to improve the quality of the UB athletic program within existing policy. The Trustees meeting in Albany last Wednesday rejected, by a vote of8-2, a pro posal which in essence would have lifted their ban on athletic scholarshi ps at the 29 State-operated campuses and would have permitted each campus to set its own level of intercollegiate competitjon. A new student athletic fee woUld also have been established under the plan to be controlled by a campus-wide board on which students would be members, but not a majority. The athletic fee was rejected, 7-3. The proposals had been submitted to the Trustees by a task U force on the quality of.student life appointed in 1982 by Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. Under the proposed changes, any campus seeking to upgrade its athletic program would have been able to submit to the Chancellor a five-year plan detailing how its campus would pay for such a program and how any changes in the program would affect other campus operations: The Chancellor would have then reviewed the statement and decided whether or not such a program could proceed. . The N~w York Times reponed that the proposals were a b1d by UB to upgrade its programs. No other campus within SUNY had expressed any interest in raising its level of intercollegiate competition, the Times sajd. President Sample1 a member of the panel drafting the recommendations, had su pponed the measures. Although the Trustees rejected the idea of a student athletic fee (which student government spokespersons resisted vehemently), they nonetheless moved to dilute student control of spons. The Trustees went along in principle with the recommendation calting for establis~ment of athletic control boards on • See AthJetk:$, page 9 / State University of New York "A major emphasis is on the avoiding of any risk."

Two new groups have been formed. They are a Task Force on Wome n 's Safety, formed by the Office of the President, and a Committee on Women's Affairs, established by the undergraduate Student Association (SA). · The efforts of the two new gro!Jps will add to the programs already established · by Public Safety and the Anti-Rape Task Force (A RTF).

Recently, officers HaLe! Nichols. Bill Dunford a nd Dave S Che rn ega were assigned the task of updating and implementi ng a presentation on personal safety iss ues for dormitory residents. The first ponion of the program deals with rape and other sex crimes. " Our talk will be geared toward prevention, but we will also focus on what happens after a crime occurs." ichols said. The program will include an explanation of the legal definition of terms such as ··rape" and the legal process for convicting someone of a sex crime.

Nic hols said. She added that there are many buildings which do not have adjoining parki ng lots. The problems posed by the layout of both campuses, combined with the fact that classes are held every evening in scattered locations, make it difficult for Public Safety to look out for all of the ind ividuals who are on campus at night. .. Given the size of the two campuses and decreases in our manpower, we can't be everywhere at once ... student" have to look out for themselves," Nichols said. The perso nal safety program d eveloped by Nichols, Dunford and Cbernega is designed to make students aware of the importance of th at responsibility. "'We're not trying to tell st uden ts what to do, we're just basically laying out the facts," ichols said . The thrust of th e program is education. . "·Hopefully. educating peo ple will lead to valid reporting of sex crimes on cam pus.·· icho ls said . She emphasized that ··even if a person decide s not to prosecute, reporting is important; Publ ~ Safety becomes aware of the problem and preventive measures can be taken~ and more importantly. we can help the victim get any help he or she may need."' o r ten yea rs, the Anti-Rape Task Force (A RT F) has offered programs F which attempt to ove rcome many of the safe t y proble ms on ca mpu s and off.

Gorlin , an internationally-known geneticist. Dr. Gorlin, who spoke at the Seventh Annual Greater iagara Frontier Dental Meeting :it the Downtown Convention Center recently, says he belie\res pressure applied by right-to-life g roups and conservative religious organizations has already begun making inroads toward diverting funds from genetic research. He is Regent Professor and chairman of oral pathology and genetics at the University of Minnesota. Over the past three or four years. Gorlin says , both Federal and private agencies have begun decreasingJunds vital for research into geneticaliy-related diseases. He fears the situation will worsen as uJtra-conscrvative lobbies gain strength and influence. Clearly, he says. industry and business, who could pick up the slack . will probably not get involved unless the y believe th ere is a profit to be made. Some private funding organizations. which pre viously supponed genetic research , have been intimidated by ult raconserva t ive political and religious groups into reducing this Suppo rt , he notes. --- A Further breakthroughs in geneticallyrelated disorders, says Dr. Gorlin. are dependent on concerned scientists and citizens applying pressure of their own on both public and private funding sources. Groups such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association , th e American Heart Association and others. who suppo rt research for specific diseases already shown to have genetic components, may have to increase the amount of monies available for genetic research in their areas of medical disorders. he says. Results of ge netic research. Gorlin points out. have alerted thousands of prospecti ve parents to the risk of passing genetic problems to futu re offspn ng. And while abo rting infants who would bear often fatal genetic disorders is an opti on. he feels it is one which should remain up to the prospective parents not to religious or political organizations. "The decision to ha\'e children. not to ha\.1! them·, or to term inate a pregnancy when the child will be born to a li(etime of pain or suffering is a very personal one, .. Dr. Gorlin con tends.

He wants to set up an atmosphere where students won't accept horrendous behavior simply because someone was drunk. Drinking is no excuse for kicking in walls, he said.

By JILL-MARI E ANDIA or many UB Sludents, Buffalo is more than just a car or bus ride away~ it is a journey into a foreign country. For these students , preparing for school means more than a visit tO the University Bookstore for a few notebooks and texts, it requires preparing for a whole new lifestyle. To help foreign students make this adjustme nt, the International Committee of the UB Women 's Club is holding its 16th annual baz.aar.and rummage saJe. In F orde r to prepare for this year's sale the com mittee is asking the University commu nity for donations. .. The function of the bazaar is to serve as an on-earn pus source: of very low cost winter clo th ing and usable household items for incoming foreign ~tudents and their families," sa~d Lucille Gasparini, one of three coord inato rs of the bazaar. She noted that "many of these students co me from countries · where the ir wardrobes do not include articles needed for our Buffalo winters." The primary o bjective of the event is to provide th ese s tud ents with winter clothi ng and to supplement the wardrobe of those students who own only a few warm items . . "The other items help the studen ts establis h hou se hold s withou1 financial distress,'' Gasparini said . Gasparini a-nd fellow coordinators Ardis Stewart and Anne Brody are seeki ng donations of coats, sweaters, skirts, pants and other Y.'3rm clOthing for men , women , children, and babies, as well as towels , linens. curtains. books. toys. small appliances. pots. pans, dishes , and ot her household items. Donations will be accepted on Friday, Oct. 12, at Diefendorf Annex cafeteria between 4 p. m. and 6 p . m. For more information. call 636·2907. 836-7076. or 836-4748. Receipts for ta.x purposes are available. The sale will be held in Diefendorf Annex cafeteria on Friday, Oct. 12 from 7:30p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and aturday, Oct. 13 from 9 a.m. to I p. m. Admission is free. T he bazaar is a more elaborate \'ersion of the International Committee's original effort called The Warm Coat Co mmittee. Donated winter coats were kept in the cloak room of Squire Hall and were available for any foreign student to try on and take home. .. Little by littl e a greater need was recognized," explained Brody, "which has led to the development of the type of bazaar-rummage sate we have today." In addition to offering a greater number of items. the committee decided to charge low prices for the goo ds offered. The prices are attached to allow s tud ents the dignity of pa yi ng for the goods they need , eliminating the feeling of being given charity.

Gasparini has found that the International Committee's activities are especially useful to the wives of foreign students. -The wives are often left high and dry - the student is taken care of through University programs~ but the wives are often left home with tbe kids ," Gasparini said . Through all of their programs. the committee hopes to establish a good rapport with foreign s1Uden ts th at will last beyond their stays in Buffalo.

The five-room facility, named in honor of U B Council Chairman M . R obert Ko ren. is sit uated in space made available within the Law Library on the 5th noor of John Lord O'Brian Hall. home of the Law School. The dedication ceremony, open to the public, will take place at 2:30p.m. in the new facility. This program will be preceded by a private luncheon at 12:30 p.m . in Capen Hall , hosted by Law School Dean Thomas E. Headri ck. The larges t of the five rooms can be used as a courtroom , with space for spectatQrs. as law students hone their skills in practical application of the law. As explained by Ellen M. Gibson, acting director of the Law Library, practice sessio ns are videotaped so that participating law students ··can view their own per\ormance"later. Funding for the facility comes from an anonymous donor in Ithaca, described as a close friend of Mr. Kore n, and from various Universi t y sources. Amounts T provided were not divu lged. The smaller rooms in the facility, it was noted. could be used for videotaping such simulated activities as labor negotiations or client interviewing. Koren, a native of Brooklyn, attended high school in Buffalo and received both • his undergraduate and law degrees from UB. A member of the UB Council si nce 1976, Koren became chairman in 1981, replacing Robert I. Millonzi. chairman emeritus, by appointment of then Gov. Hugh Carey. That same year, the Law School received a SIO.OOO endowment from Koren to establish an annual award for the graduating senior with the highe st three-year academic average. The special award memoriali zes Koren's father, Max Koren, described by his son as a man "'who realized the value of education." In 1975. Koren received Disti nguis hed Alumnus awards from both the University and the UB Law School Alumni Associations. Koren , who resides in the Town of Tonawanda. has served as president of both the UB Alumni Association and the Law School Alumn i. 0 Environmentalist rejects claims that the movement conspires to subvert US yn t on Keith Caldwell , often called the "Father of the Environmental Impact Statement , " was on the Amherst Campus last week to denounce a recent article in the Wall Stree1 Journal and the thrust of a number of books that claim the ··environme nt al movement is a conspiracy with a hidden agenda·• aimed a_t subtly undermining American institu; Lions and ··revolutionizing society... Speak..ing as a guest of the Environmental Studies Center, Caldwell said that ~espite the rum o r's recent pominence. it 1s not a new one, but a fabrication initia ted in the early 1970s with the publication of such books as Th e Doomsday Syndrome, which portray environmentalists as ..disaster mongers and pessimists ... While some autb,o.r..s and antienvi ron mentalists have stated that the L environmental movement is a master plot of the rich to di\'ert the attention of the lower and middle classes from important social issues. others hav~ argued that its ultimate purpose is to ..shut out the poor from desirable areas in the country," returning them to usc as playgrounds of the wealthy. The environmental movement is credited with being either a ··conspiracy of the right orleft,"summed up Caldwell, who is a professor emeritus in the Department of Political Science and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, where he also held an endowed chair. Caldwell currently directs I U's Advanced S tud ies ill Science, Technology and Public Policy program, and recently wrote International Environmental Policy. published _Duke University Press. Regardless of whether authors of these current books arc motivated by perso nal gain or genuine belief. Cald v.oell contends that most have one th ing in common: their insistence that "an environmental crisis does not exist." This stance, he added, often goes hand in hand with a wholesale rejection of current scientific ev idence that supports environmental concerns. Most anti-environmentalists are ·•committed to growth .. and the concept of .. a bigger piece of the pie;• ad\'ises Caldwell, who helped forge the National Environmental Policy Act. But the real bone of contention is not growth versus non-growth , he insisted, but growth in selected areas. Unlike those who prefer that market forces dictate growth , Caldwell believes that in order to maintain a quality existence, growth should be .planned . "This requireu>ublic input and a ro le for govcmment: \ne Said. Caldwell acknowledged that people get turned off by envi ronmen tal iss ues when they are told that their lifestyles mu st get '"phased down ... A better environment doe s n't nece ssarily mean a lower standard of living. he emphasi7~ed . but rather a ··redeployment" of exis t ing re so urce s. In order to keep th e environmental moyemem viable. Caldwell coun~clcd em•ironmcntal groups to tread lightly in presidential politic:). He said he disa pproved of the Sierra Clu b's recent and unprecedented endorse ment of a presidential candidate becau e he feared that such partisan mo\'es could ultimately backfite if the unendorsed candidate should win . A better course of action , he advised , would be for environmental activists to concentrate their efforts on Congressional clec1ions, as does ilie Audubon Scfcle y. o- �October 4, 1984 Volume 16, No. 5 121 ~If " B y exposing the Philippine si wation to a harsh public light, a US Jaw professor hopes to make progress for human rights us, yo u make the:se changes. •· Leary said. cary and her companions went at the ins tigation of people in the coun try and cleared their visi t with the govern- L ment.

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 resolut io n states that facuhy members may partici pate in the drive by taking ..sufficient and appropriate" class time to discuss voter registration. They may hand out literature or actually have st udents register during that time. Jan e McAievey, president of the Student Association, presented the information to the Senate on the campaign, called "I Love SUNY and I Vote." This is the first time that students with permanent addresses outside of Erie County will he allowed to vote in the county, she explained. Faculty members can also register through SA, she said. McAievey originally asked that each teacher set aside .... 10 to 15,minutes tops" during one class of each section to discuss registration before the sign-up deadline of Oct. 6. "'It's the si ngle most important thing faculty and students ca do in a public institut ion," McAievey scUd. She also noted that the funding of State institutions depe nds on the legislature and the electorate. '"With out State funding. none of us would be si tting in this room. •• she said. While expr!ssing sym pathy with the resolution. many senators said they were - reluctant to spend that much dqss time discussing voter registration. 1 But another senator sta ted that he could think of nothing that anyone could teach in ten minutes that 's as important as voting. The wording of the resolution was A changed from .. 10 to 15 minutes" to read ..sufficient and appropriate time... . Other senators objected to wording that they felt obligated them to participate at all. Still ot he rs said they d idn't mind speaki ng o r handing out literature or registering voters. bur did not want to he obligated to do all three. That wording was changed. resident Steven B. Sample addressed the Senate on recruitment and retention of students. The recruitm ent of freshmen is above target a nd the quality of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is high, he said. "Phe modest stipends offered through the Presidential Honors program "allow us to go head to head with Ivy League schools and wiri half the time" in the recruitment of talented sturients, Sample stated . But the number of college-age students is expected to decline in the next several years, he noted. .. We may have the best recruiting program in the world, 1' he said, "but no matter how well we compete, we may not be able to maintain the numbers.'' One way to majntain the number of students attending U B is to recruit more transfer students. The number of transfers already is up markedly. Sample said. Ret ention is also important, he indicated. Minors may be helpful to that goal because they make UBmore attractive to arts and scie nces majors (a group UB is trying hard to recruit). It also makes the arts and sciences program attractive to students who aim for a professional P dri~e tion. school and later change their minds or do • Dennis Malone, chairman of the not make the program .

Oral version of antiviral drug may spell reli_ef for recurrent herpes By MAR-Y BETH S PI NA he oral version of an antiviral drug which may spell relief for patients with recurrent genital herpes and other herpes-virus infections and the benefits of an a nt i-gout drug in preventing occlusion of arterial grafts after coronary bypass surgery were among t opics di scussed at t he Fifth Annual Drugs of the Decade program Sep tember 8 at UB"s Cen ter for Tomorrow. Approximately 120 pharmacists and physicians a ttend ed the day-lon g prog ram sponso red by U B's Schools of Medicine and Pharm acy, the Depa rt me nt of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. and the Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. UB's Office of Co nt in uin g Medical Educa tion coordinated the ev~nt. Dr. R obert T. Schoo ley, a Harvard researcher and Massachusetts General Hos p ital physician, told the audience that oral and in tra veno us form s of the antiviral drug acyolovir (Zovi rax) ap pear effect ive in t rea ti ng a wi de range of problems linked to primary and recurrent herpes-virus infections. Intravenous and topical forms of the drug are available,. with the oral version awaiting release by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration . Ac yclo vi r was firs t sy nthesized in Bur rougtrs-Wellcome laboratorieS under the supervision of Dr. T Howard Schaeffer, former chairman of UB's Department of Medicinal Chemistry. The drug , which is a "second generation" antiviral agent, appears in clinical studies to have minimal adverse side effects while being highly specific in i1s action against most members of the herpes-virus family. \Vhile not a cure. intravenous and oral forms of acyclovir have demonstrated the y can sho rten recovery time. reduce vi ral sh~dding. and pre ve nt or reduce seve rit y of initial and recurrent infections~ The drug is ac1ive against Varicella Loster Virus . implicated in chicken pox . and herpes Zoster or '"shingles"' as well as Herpes Simplex II , associated with genital herpes. There is mounting evidence the drug may also prove useful in treatment of severe herpes labialis (cold sores) caused by Herpes Simplex l as well as mononucleosis end other infections associa ted with EpsteinBa rr Virus. . While the drug is gai ning importa nce 1n trea tment of initial infection amo ng normal and immunocompromised patients. it may be equally imponant in suppressi ng reactivation of herpes-virus which occurs Under circumstances not well understood. Dr. Schooley said. Other antivi ra ls s uch as Ara..,A and interferon are effecti ve agai nst certain herpes-vi ru s infections but acyclovir has been shown 160 times more ac tive agai nst NO REPORTER· N.E XT WEEK The Reporter will.not be published next week because of the University's observance of Rosh Hashanah - there will be no classes from Wednesday night to Friday night next week. We will resume publiccuion Thursday, October 4. Herpes Simplex Virus than Ara-A. The topical form of acyclovir is indicated in management of initial herpes genitalis and in limited. non-lifethreatening mucocutaneous Herpes Simplex Virus infections in immunocompromised patients. In recurrent genital herpes. there is no evidence of clinical benefit using acyclovir. but there is a decrease in duration of viral shedding. Dr. Schooley said that although acyclovir is a promising treatment for persons with recurrent genital herpes infections. it is probable the drug will have to be-taken proph ylatically to prevent reactivation. While acyclovi r is not effective in tre~ting infections caused by Cytomegalovirus. the Burroughs-Wellcome experim.e ntal drug BWB759U. now undergoing chmcal phase I tnals, has been designed to be specific against CM V much in the same way acyclovir reacts specifically against other herpes viruses. D r. J ules Co nstant, a UB cardiologist . at Buffalo General Hospital, told the a OO te nce that the anti-gout drug Anturane is as effective and more conve ni ent than aspirin / Persan tine in preventing graft occlusions a nd reinfarction in patients who have had coronary bypass surgery. Anturane (su lfi npyrazone) not only features. anti-platelet action which preven ts occlusion and reinfarction but it also has the ability to raise the fibrillation threshold so important in prevent inl! sudden death. This latter effect has not been ~ho~n with the aspirin / Persan.tine combtnallon. he added. The medical management of the postcoronary bypass patient . Constant noted, is of prime importance when one considers the statistics. '"Fifteen to 20 percent of grafts close b~ the end .ofthe first year after surgery " ith· many patients forming an early thrombu~ before they leave the hospital after bypa~"~ operations."" he pointed out. In 50 per cent of women who have the surger~. there is clot for mation which complete!~ occludes the arterial grafts. A lesser but still imp ressive number of male ~as!t patients experience the same com plication. Although cholesterol - eggs particu· larly - acquired a bad reputation. in its sus pected role in heart d isease, Dr. Co nstant said more rece nt studies suggest the absolute level of cholesterol intake has less to d o with the problem than does the intake of oxidized cholesterol and the amount of saturated fats in the diet. Since higher cooking temperatures seem responsible for the amount of oxidat ion. eggs fixed in ways which require less heat are p referable. On a low saturated fat diet, the post~ronary patient could eat five sofl-cooked eggs every day and not expe rie nce a sig nifi ca rtt ri-se in serum cholesterol, he said .

" All of a sudden, student demand for recruitment is ve r y, ve r y h igh, but . recruitment has been low,,. explained E.J. Martell, director of the ca ree r planning and testing office at UB for 14 years. He has been at the Unive rsity for 18 years. '' In th e '60s, there were a lot of recruiters ," he said . "We had a war economy and ce rt ain things were booming." So employers came to the Unive rsity to ftll their job openings. " But for the last two years, the economy has bten in recessiop, .. Marten said ... So recruitment fell off... But he noted th at it has now picked up again due to a slight upswi ng in economic conditions. · Ironicall y, during the peak of recrui t ment, students weren"t as interested in talking to the employers. For one thing, the job market was brighter, he said. I n the '60s, job availability was greater." Marl'ell stated . ··variety was Igreater. Students had a broader 'pick and choose factor.' " '\ In addition, the students of that ltime focused their attention on things like the Vietnam War and campus protests. "Fourteen years ago , potential graduates at all levels \\'ere distracted by the unrest," Martell explained. ow with a tighter job market . st udent s are eager to speak with recruiters. "Students are desirous of this - it's a way to get plugged into the work world, .. he said. · Whether it's 1970 or 1984, the question that is on students' minds, Martell said, is: .. When I'm done with my education. what will 1 do with it?" uB isn't a vocational institution and st udents are free t.o pursue education for educatio n's sake. But still the question arises. And the answe r usually is some type of career, he eJCplained. Other issues competed for students' attention 14 years ago, but that question of how to use one's e ducati on seems uppermost on students' minds today. There seems to be a career-mindedness a mong st udents tod ay, Martell stat ed. Today, st udent s might take something simply because they're interested in it, but then tr y to combine it with .somettring that plugs into their pursuit of a career. "Stddents are literally planning now for a career as they go through all levels of their academic pursuit,... he said. Calling UB a "multiversity" because of its di vers ity of programs. Martell said that it has been response to students' demand s for courses with practical applications. ur ing the Vietnam \Var e ra. students generally didn' plan for a career while they were in college. They were distracted by the events happening around them , he noted. For example , when Dow Chemical recruiters came to UB in the early 70s. a large demonstration wa s planned to protest the company's manufacture of napalm , Martell said . The company came on campus early in1he morning to avoid a confrontation and to maintain the int egrity of the Universi t y's policy allowing all recruiters on ca mpu s, he recalled . But while the se events distracted students and dela yed their decisions. most eventually answered the question "now that I've got my degree what do I do with i1?" Martell poi nt ed to well known Vietnam War activist Tom Hayden (also known for being Jane Fonda's husba nd ). Once he pro te sted again st the govern- ment, and now he has chosen a career as a California state assemblyman. Wh ic h recruiters come to U 8 is dictated largely by the economy and is in no way limited by the University, Martell emphasized. The State recently passed a law requiring schools to open their campuses to military recruiters, he said. but U B has always had an open campus policy. The mili ta ry and the CIA have always been allowed to recruit on campus. In the 60s, recruiters were picketed; today even .the CIA is welcome D - ··even through all the strife and times of protest. primarily due to the Vietnam War, the cam pu s wa s o pen t o all recruiters and we had them btre. ·· he said. " In my opinion. there are many roads to cover in caree r pursuits. If one wants to pursue a caree r in the military or at Procter and Gamble o r teachi ng at Sweet Horne Senior High School whateve r it·~ up to the graduate ." art ell said the level of rcciuit.r:nent by the gove rnment has remamed about the same si nce he started 14 years ago. But the recruit ment by th e private sector is dictated by supply and dem and . In the 1960s. teachers we re in great M demand and schools came on campus to recruit. Now it's the high-tech industries that need people, so they are the ones that recruit heavily. "It varies from year to year due to economic conditions," Martell said . About 350 recruiters will probably come to campus this ~ar. he satd. A YCry tentative list includes laboratories, insurance companies, depanment stores, banks, chemical companies, engineering firms, government offices, the mili tary, and volun teer groups such as the Peace /Corps. Not as many st udents now seek out the volunteer groups as did in the '60s , Martell said , but a good number still meet with them during recruitment. At least part of that drop in numbfrs he attributes to the lack of n(wness of the programs. "They're not as newsworthy. but they still do exist and they do their thing." he said.

By EDWIN DOBB ASA North. That's what they11 be calling the Department of Mechanical and Aer os pace Engineering here if this con tinues. Two more grad uate stu dents have been award ed train ees h ips by th e national Aeronautics and Space Administration, bringing to four the number of UB students currently working in NASA 's N Graduate Student Researchers Program. ASA grants about a d ozen new awards eac h yea r and funds only 40 or so a t any one time . By giving four traineeships to UB students, NASA has firmly endorsed the quality of the U B aerospace engineering program . And the qualifications of its graduate students. This year's recipient'S are H arley H. Cudney, Jr., of Bu ffalo, and Mark N. Glauser of Alden. Cudney is helping to develop an active hinge for a large boom to be used o n the s pace shuttle. Glause r is panici pating in an extensive air turbulence study. The two yo un g scie ntists will recei ve gran is of approximately $15,000, which are renewable fo r three years. But wha t 's far more important. according to NASA, is t~h (! opport un ity .. to work on a project of hi gh priority to NASA, to use unique NASA equipment and facili ties, and to interact with senior NASA research personnel.., _ Both Cudney's faculty advisor, Daniel J . Inm an, Ph.D ., and Glauser's faculty advisor, William K. George, J r. , Ph.D .. monitor th e stud en ts' research. t NASA's La ngle y Research Cen ter at H ampton, Va .. C udn ey is stud ying a model of a robotic ar m that will be much larger than the one currentl y used on the s pace shuttle. " Cudney is examining d igi tal cont rol of a beam with an elbow in it ," says Inman. The resea rch has many applications. Several types of robotic arms and booms are being considered for vario us functions. One example is NASA ·s Solar Array Flight Experiment (SAFE). The folding panels of the solar array are thinner than ordinary typing .paper. The enti re stracture will meas ure roughly 12 by 100 fee t and weigh less than 600 pounds. Imagine trying to s u pport and move a piece of new print the size of five billboard s attached end to end and you begin to appreciate the stability and vi brati o n pr oblems facing ASA researche rs. "Thougll tile weigh tless conditio ns of space are extremely difficult to simulate with s tru c ture s such as this , " Inm an continues, "extensive proof-of-concept · tests must be conducted on the ground. A .. The so lar array used on the space has no active con trols. h simply unfolds . Active hinges would allow us to precisely control he position and angles of the panels." ~ huttle Glauser, explains George, is completing experiments that have betn conducted at the UB Turbulence Research Laboratory for the last six years. Describing the work as "the most am bitious and comp rehen"Sive turbulence stud y in th e cou ntry, "George says th at he has been looking for ..coherent structures in turbulent flow. ''No o ne has written an equation th at explains turbulence. I th ink we've found a way to objectiVely study what has so far appeared to be completely random flow d istur bances. If it works, this research could provide insight into the structures of turbulence." adds George. Evidently NASA shares George's hope. They 've agreed to let Glauser use their large computer facility to analyze data gathered in the turbulence lab. 1 ASA 's interest in the problem stems from its desire to understand and control jet engine exhaust emissions. and air t urbulence in engines and across the s urfaces of airplanes and s pacecraft. '' After completing the last experiments and making sure the UB and NASA data formats are compatible, " George says, "Glauser will travel to 1 ASA 's Ame s Research Center at Moffett Field. Ca .. to analyze over a quaner million data poiriJ.s where fluctuating velocity has been measured .'' tewart J . Leib awarded a traineeship and spo nsored by George in 1983 - studied jet turbulence during his firs'l year. He's taken up the problem of the "instabilit y of liquid jets" this year, S explains George. .. Recognizing that Leib has an impressive aptitude for theory , NASA encouraged him in this direction." he adds. Leib is working under the direct supervision of Marvin Goldstein. Ph .D ., chief scientist at ASA 's Lewis Research Center at C leveland. Leib 's project goal is to help design an efficient cooling system in space~ .. Standard cooling sys tems require large amounts of material .'' continues Ge6f"!e , material that 's too hea vy and butk11o carry into space. 'NASA scientists are studying a cooling system which ejects fluid refrigerant into space, eliminating the need for a large circulatory component. THese liquid jets are exci ted acoustically to break them into drops . The traveling drops radiate heat and after a prescribed distance arc recaptured by the cooling sys tem. The sys tem would be mounted along the exterior of a s pace craft or space station. High-speed printers arc based on the same liquid jet principle. th oug h they lack a mechanism for recovering drops and involve very s hort distances . The distances being considered for s pace cooling system s arc measured in tens of meters. David C .

That prenoun is used 10 express the her son: he is cu te, fragile, helpless. pitiful o r a nuisance. But objects that women see as mature or self-reliant they refer to as "she," Mathiot stated. .

But be found that in English we use both the gestalt reference frame and the orientation reference [rame, depending on circumStances. An obviously elongated box would evoke the gestalt system, while a square box would invite the orientation approach. When a surface is only moderately elongated, a conflict arises. Some English speakers will use the gestalt system and some the orientation frame of reference. Or they'll resort to circumlocutions like "'it's bigger front t o back," Zubin said . ••There's a mismatch between the language and the scene they want t o express." ime is perceived differently in different cultures and expressed differently in different languages.

In both instances, the person stands in the present, facing the future, with his back to the past, Zubin explained. But in Rausa, the language of Nigeria, you would say "I'm glad I haw: that test ahead of me" when you have already completed it. A future event would be behind you. Zubln surmises that in Hausa, time uses a 'static visual metaphor. Things ahead of us are in our field of view, but the ones bebind us we can\ see.

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.

Provost . Greiner lists priorities of his new office By JOY CE. BUC H NOWS KI f the sho rt-a nd lo ngterm goals which UB's chief academic officer. has already laid out for himself and his staff, none will be mo re cha lle ngi ng, he feels, than the "integration" of the ·health sciences and academic core and "defining and furt hering the ro le of the a rts nd sciences." No small tasks. O B ut William R. Greiner, appointed provost August I after a seven-month search involving over 200 candidates, thinks he can do it. But do it only, he emphasizes, with the help of his two new vice provosts, three associa te provosts and , perhaps most importantly, the deans , whom he considers linchpins in his quest for academic excellence and administrative stability. (See page 2 for rundown on Greiner's administrative appointments.) '' I intend to draw very heavily upon the deans for support and assistance . M y objective is to have my staff support the deans, ·• he asserts. However, at the same time, the provost insists that the deans come to grips wit.h their vital roles in the research, teaching and se rvice functions of the University. He also wants the faculty to stop viewing th e dea ns merely as intermedia r ies between depanments and his officC, and see them as academic leaders whose tough ~ decisions wi ll pave the path for the future. " If a dean says to me, "I have a problem wi th so and so,' my response will be, ' What steps have you taken to solve the problem?' I find unacceptable, the notion that the deans should be me sse ngers • between the department and this office ... A dean has t o be a pe rson who makes hard decisions and choices. And 111 tell yo u frankly that when it comes to choices that have to be made at the Capen Hall level with regard to the placement of scarce resources, th ese choices are ofle.n made based on an assessment of the leadership po tential in the unit being considered.·· Although integration of the academic core and the health sciences is seen by Greiner as one of his long-term goals, he plans to s tan working toward it by identifying common interests between the two areas and finding ways in which the University's mission can be accomplished '"collaborati\•ely .. and in a spirit of " mutual suppon .·· Greiner believes the provostial system will assist thi s integrati o n beca use , among other things. it will a low all the deans to' meet together as one group. No longer will the health scie nces and academic core deans be treated as se parate entities. Moreover, the provost hopes to.,facilitate the integrat io n by ap pointing healt ll scie nce faculty to chai r search co mmit- tees. possi bly the one for the dean of Arts and Letters position made vacant by the appointment of James Bunn as vice provost fO'r-undergraduateeducation, or the one fo r th e post of dean of at ural Sciences and Mathe matics, made vacan t by the resignation last se mester of Duwa yne Anderson. Likewise, Greiner intends to use core cam pus facult y in searc hes for health sciences adm inistrators. In addition, if task groups need to be formed to stud y policy issues, the provost has every inte nt io n of using represe ntatives from both areas. By doing th is. Greiner is confident that,' in time, tHe two academic areas can ove rcome any previously felt divisio ns and work for each other 1s mutual benefit. perhaps even d evelop a "sense of community." n equally critical issue facing the provost is .. finding ways to get coorA dinated, optimistic a nd forward movement in the arts and sciences." "' If there has been a shortcoming in leadership at all levels at this institution ~ it ha s been the fai lure t o identify th e central mission of the arts and sciences. If we are going to be other than a techn ical university or a collection of professional sc ho ols, thi s mu st be done , " Greiner asserted. The provos t rec ounted that 17 yea rs ago - for better or worse - UB's arts a nd scie nces college was di ssolved. The problem. as he sees it, is th at ··no mechan is ms were put in place to f ulfill the muhiple roles" th e co llege served. " I don 't think anyone sys temat ica ll y asked what role the College of Arts and Sciences played with respect to undergrad uate education. grad uate educati on. research development . or service." Some "conce pts•• were introduced to fill th e void , he added , such as D UE. a se parate graduate school. t h e creat ion of University-wide deans, the Colleges. but "the resources never came to make them work," he not ed. .. It see ms to me that what we now have to do is to collectively ask ou rselves what role the arts a nd sciences should play at t his inst itution at this time a_nd how it s hould be played ." With any luck , Greiner believes answers can be found through efforts of the deans, the UnPergraduate Council and ADCAS, the Administrati ve Council on the Arts and Sciences. till anoth er o ne oft he provosl's priorities is to help the President ··reach an agreement o n the build-out of the two camp uses." Greiner expects some "crit ical choices"' will have to be made regarding who gets what built where. He S "Integrating the health sciences & the academic core is a major aim." hopes. with the ass astance of the deans, to help the President arrive at a set of priorities for campus co nst ructi on and reach decision s abou t alloca t io n and reallocations of a lready availa ble space. The time to turn attention to the buildout is now. the provost emphasizes. Iffor no other reason than on .. moral "gro und s. Greiner a sserts. the build-out sh ould proceed at full steam. Underscoring his poi nt , the provos t relayed th at he recentl y visited S NY / Binghamton and wa s impressed with their fine a rts ce nter a nd their graduate stud ent housing. While Greiner applauds the State for building .. first- rat e" facilities at Bingh am ton . he bris tles when he remembers that U B doesn 't have either of th ose two amenities. Plus, the Unive rsity has .. no building for math. no place for statist ics. no facili ty for che mistry, no firm and fixed place for geology" and to boot. the art depa rt ment is .. located in an old factory," off campus. he groa ned. t's not surprisi ng that Greiner also feels Iitythat, as provost. he has the respo nsi bilto assist President Sample reach the five goals he se t for the ca mpus sho rtly after he took office. Though he admits that propelling U B in to the arena of the top 10 public research universi ti es is .. a tall order," again, as with the integration of the academic core and health sciences. he feels the job is far from im possi ble. ..People t~ay th at we sho uld priori ti7..e the President's fi~ priorities for development of th is cam pu s. I say no . The University is like a set of si multaneous eq uati o ns. You do things together. We o ught to move forward on all five of them. How is this going to happen if"" · don't get additional resources ? Th.e-., answer is that we work harder. We d o more with what we have. "' I think we can do it." Greiner adds. .. We have a talented group of facuhy and staff in this institution." On th e positive side. U B also has ••excellent salaries, ·· has won "increasing attention from the State" with regard to equipment and has received financial assistance for the School of Engineering. In relation to what his own office will do to assist the Universi ty's advance ment in quality and nati o na l repu tat ion. Greiner pled ges that h is Capen- Fi ve hcadquaners will be ··se rvice" o riented . .. The office is here to help the deans do their jobs better. to help th e faculty grow a nd develo p and. whenever possible. to help them do their jobs better. To accomplish this. the firs t th ing you have to do is deal wi th the pretty detail s; you know. it co mes-down to mak ing sure th e trains run o n time. I th ink we have a way to go in th i~ regard. The Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs was rea~on<.~bly effective. but it was a.!tmall mom-and-pop ope ration in many respect s. The provost 's office has a wider ~ pan of responsibility and I think we have to gear up. On 1he other htind , I don't want to build an empire here in te rms of perso nnel. So I ha ve to o rganize ~ry carefully and work ve r y hard so we can be as effective and efficient as possible." •. 0 �September 13, 1984 Volume 16, No. 3 2 1 ~If Greiner unveils major staff realignment major admi nist rative reo rganizat ion pear headed by Pro vos t William Greiner calls for creation of two vice provosts positions and three associate provosts slots. all of which are delineated according to function rather than in terms of any disciplinary disti nctio ns between the heal th scie nces and the · academic core. Dr. Donald Renn ie. vice president for research and graduate studies, will retain his current title and assume the role of vice provost for graduate and professional education. In his new positio n. Renn ie will also function as dean of the Graduate School and serve as the provost's " p rimary staff adviso r" regarding gradua te A educatio01. . .. Dr. Renn ie is a highl y respected senior scie ntist who wi ll provide the Office of th e Provost with continuity and guidance. especially regarding its developing relationship with the health sciences,"' Greiner said. Over the course oft he year, the provost intends to .. re-examine and reassess"the role and function oft he graduate school, an issue also of concern to th e Faculty Senate. An "open question,·· Greiner says, is whether or not fun ctions of the VP for research and the graduate school should be co mbined. Up until a few years ago, the positions of dean of the ·graduate school and vice president for research were held by different individuals. .. We may choose to go back to thai pattern sometime in the future," the provost ad vised. but for now, he feels, Rennie's ..dual reporting relationship .. facilita tes the transition to the provostial system and "enhan ces the relatibnship between Rennie and the other academic ofrice rs." Arts and Letters Dean James Bunn will become the new vice provost for undergrad uate education, serving a two-year term that begi ns October I. The term appointment, Greiner s"aid, was one desired by both Bunn and himself. Bunn will be responsible fort he Division of Undergraduate Education, the Division of Continuing Education and the General Ed ucat ion Committee. In addition, he will chair ADCAS (the Administrative Council on Arts and Sciences), on which Dr. Rennie will sit, and wi ll also chair th Undergraduate Council. In his new role, Bunn will also coordinate the undergraduate program evaluations, teaching evaluations, and the development of minors. Greiner anticipates that some organ izational changes will be made in DUE, possibly th e appoi ntment of an administrat ive of~cer to head it who will ~eport to Bunn. but any change will be on ho_ld, he noted , unul Bunn has the opportumty to asse§_s tht area and make a rcpon to h1m. . T he associate provosts are Judith E. Albino. Ph . D. , former ACE Fellow and professor of behavioral sciences in the School of Dentistry. who served as an assistant to the interim VPAA: Robert L. Palmer Jr., Ph.D., former associate vice president for academic affairs responsible for minority student programs and development, and Valdemar A. lnnus, M.B.A., former assistant vice president for academic affai rs who also se rved as an executive assistant to the interim VPAA . The reorganization plan calls for Albino to be primaril¥ responsible for .. interfacing with the deans and the Office of th e President "regard ing faculty and professional staff personnel matters, such as appointments. promotion and tenure, Greiner noted. She, along with Bunn and Rennie. will compose the com mittee which reviews all dossiers. With her appointment, Albino becomes the highest ranking woman administrator at the University. Palmer will become associate provos\ for special programs and will be responsi ble for UB's Educational Opportunity Center, the E;.eucational Opportunity Program. Urban Affairs, the Trio Programs (Upwa rd Bound , Talent Search and Office of pecial Services), and Cora P. Maloney College. In addition, he will provide "general administrative guidance to the provost on II matters involving affirmative action and minorit y student affairs, .. Greiner said. As associate provost for administrative se rvices, Inn us will be responsible for shon· and long-term academic budget preparation and planning, and space and facilities management for the areas allocated to the provost. In addition, in his new role, ln nus will act as general manager of the provost's office and serve as the primary liaison between it and the offices of the president and vice presidents on all matters fall ing within his areas of respo nsibility. The reorganization, which Greiner has mulled over since his appoin tmen t this past summe r, is ..evolutionary .. rather than radical in nature, he feels. While it borrows from the recent p~ t , the provost believes that it nevertheless addresses wh;u he sees as the .. fundamentaflflaw" of the former organizational scheme. 0 ) "The plan addresses fundamental flaws of the former organization." Enrollment appears to be on target; frosh exceed goal otal U B enrollment is meeti ng ta rgeted figures this fall with an increase in the number of freshmen en rolled ove r last year, ·us Vice Presid en t for University Services Roben Wagner reponed to the University Council, September 6. In spite of an increase of Sl50 in dormitory costs set by the Division ofthe Budge t, the dormitories on bo th campuses are full, Wagner also reported, adding that all students wh o had requested on-<:ampus housing as of th is week had been accommodated. A total University enrollment of26,200 is expected , Wagner said. Final figures will not be available until the registration file is "frozen·· on Se ptember 14: As of September 4 , the last d~t e for wh ic h co mplete figures are availa ble. 25",500 students had enrolled. "Based on availab~e inf?rma!ion. we ex pec t tha t the Umverslty will meet e nrollment targets ," Wagner told the Council. The freshman class is slightly higher T than targeted , Wagner noted , and th e number of under graduat e tr ansfer students is up seven per cen t ove r th e target ed fig ure ( 1.350), which was t he same as last year's. Approximately 200 more freshman students than the targeted 2,800 have enrolled . The quali t y of this yea r's freshman class remains ve ry high , Wag ner co mmented . The number of students with SAT combined sco res of 1200 o r better increased to 321this fall compared to 294 in Fall 1983 . The Un iversi t y "s Honors Program has expanded from 40 new students last year to 75 new students this ye ar ; these stu d ents ha ve a mea n SAT co mbined score of 1356 with scores ranging from 1240to 1530 (themaximum score is 1600). · Wagner point ed out that eil ter ing fresh men continue to prefer .enrolling in professional programs instead of traditional arts and sciences majors . More than 110 add itional freshmen over last year's 440 chose engineering majors. 1n sp ite of the additional numb e rs, e nterin g fre shmen accepted into engineering programs maintained th e same mean SAT com bined sco re ( ll46). with a greate~ number sco ring 1200 o r better, 15 8 thts year compared to 127 in Fall 1983. there has been a rapid decrease W ofhileNew York State high sc hool who intend to major in an s and st~dents SCiences programs, UB has maintained the s~me number of entering freshmen wh o mt e~d to pursue those majors, Wagner sa1d. .. We have n't inc reased our majors in the arts and sciences, which has been a presid ential prio rity," he commented " but l"m pleased we haven) dipped ."" ' The 1ncrease in the size of the freshman class was necessary to maintain overall workloa_d ?bjectives: This was met by a dram at1c 10c~e~se 10 "yield, .. Wagner noted , expla1mng that "yield" is th e nu_mb er of student s who enrDII after betng accepted by the Universi ty This year's yield was 25 per cent ove.r last' year's, he said . In spite of the increase in freshmen , students have not experienced difficult y in registering for required courses. Wagner said. The increase of$ 150 per academic year places dormitory costs on an alm.ost equal level wit h available local housmg. Wagner said. The fact that UB dorms are filled to capacity in spite of th e increased cost is primarily due to the larger number of new freshmen , he said. Other reasons are the expansion of recruitment effons for out-of-town students and the greater availability of housi ng fo r graduate stud e nt s, with a special .. graduate dorm itory" set aside. Before the semester began , Wagn er noted, there was a waiting list of students wh o wanted on-campus housing . All students on the list have been contacted and offered cam pus housing. C urrently. ap proximately 5.200 students are living in dormitories on the t'II. O campuses. · 0 �~IT I3 September 13, 11184 Volume 18, No. 3 Honors Scholarship pool for top scholars being expanded By CO NN IE OS W AL D STO FKO he pool of scholarship money available for the University Honors Program (formerly the Presidential Scholars Honors Program) is being expanded by President Sample, according to Marilou Healey. associate dean of undergraduate education at UB. Each year, 20 Presidential Scholars are named. Each receives $2,000 a year for fo ur years. This year, 55 other students received a one-time only Freshman Book Award of $200. Because there w~ a large discrepancy between the two awards , the program is being reconfigured , Healey said. In the fu t ure, 10 students will receive the $2,000 award each year for four years. In add ition, 65 will receive a $1.000-ayear scholarship for their freshman and sophomore years. This larger pool of scholarship money will enable the University to recruit more top·notch students, sfie predic'Cd. The ones- already recruited thmugh the pro· gram are first·rate. • "Most have been accepted to Ivy League schools." Healey said. "Many received substantial scholarship offer from other schools." But the low tuition, combined with the Universi ty Honors Program itself, attracted the st udents to UB, she said. " If it weren't for the Honors Program , they wouldn' be at Buffalo," she noted. .. We attempt to make a small-college environment in the large university setting.'' That idea is borne out by testimony from a Presidential . Scholar, Cindy Horowi t7-. who turned down an invi tation from an Ivy League school. In a Newsday article on .. Wooing the Top Students," Horowitz gave her reasons for choosing U B. " I felt I wouldn't be just one of the crowd, "she said. " If I'd gone to Cornell, I basically would have been one of the many. Also, it would have meant taking out loans.'' The Honors Students at UB "get very, very special treatment," Healey said . For one thing, they take a number of honors courses that have small enrol· lments. An honors chemistry class might have 40 students rather than 500, she T noted . And the honors courses have the best faculty, she said. The courses are chosen not for their content. but because of the skilled instructor. he hono rs students get a lot of individualized attention from faculty. They are assigned a faculty mentor. With their mentors, stud entf -have coauthored articles, presented papers at national conventions, done resea rch and even CO·authored ~ textbook. Some oft he local st udents accepted for this fall came in the afternoons after their high sc h oo l classes a nd during the summer to do resea rch with the ir mentors. Twice a month. faculty members host a small get-together in their homes for honors studenls. The instructors discuss the work they do outside of the classroom. such as research, consultation and work with professional organizations. Healey noted that this is helpful to the students, many of whom will probably enter the world of academe. The students also have special study privileges. Eight locked swdy carrels in the Lockwood and Science and Engineering libraries, a much sough t-after commodit y, are shared by commuters in the program. The dorm stude nts in the program can stay in a special section of the Governors T Residence Halls. ..These are extremely capable. sought· after stude nts,·· Healey said. ··we are very eager to retain them. so we have to provide as much support as possible." Healey said she hopes th at the quali ty of these students will attract other good students. "We hope there will be a spinoff effect - that by recruiting these students we will raise the quality of t he undergraduate population in general." she said. The population of the Honors Students rcnects the population of the Universi ty at large, Healey said. About half of the students are from Western ew York and half from other parts o! the state. This year. for the first time, the program ha's one student from out of state. Just like the rest of the University. th e program has about 60 per cent male students and 40 per cent female stude nts. There is a "good mixture" among the students' intended majors. but few students. even those in engineering and premed , stay with their intended majors. she noted. .. Most of them are no t focused on a specific caree r goal," Healey said. ··They tend to be good at everything, so it"s hard for them to focus in. The brightest kids have the most problems declaring a major because the y want to m ajor in everything." The special major pro&ram, under which students can create theli oWn, upique program , is popular among the Honors Students. Those swdents also profit from faculty guidance. she noted . ost of the pfogram·s first clas~ of senior'\ plan to go to graduate sc hool. Healey said . Two graduated early and are now ,medical students. The program has been growing steadily since it was staned four years ago. In each of the first two ye ar~. 20 students were accepted into the program. Healey said. In the third year, 40 students were admit· ted. This year, 75 freshmen are in the program. Next year. another 75 will be admitted . Another thing that attracts st udcnh to the program is the individual attemion paid to them by the staff and faculty who recruit them. Staff members will phone th e ~nudents a{ld their parents. take them to lunch with faculty members. give them a tour of the campus and allow them to sit in on a class or stay in the dorms. Some even meet President Sample. "The individual attention really pays off," Healey said. 0 M ---1" EAP program assists faculty, staff cross over 'troubled waters' By W EN D Y AR NDT H UNT ike the bridge that Simon and Garfunkel sing about, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), has been built for faculty and staff to use to cross over troubled waters. ··t did not see the alcoholism o r drug abuse that statistics say should be here," said former EAP coordinator Richard Jones, Ed . D., a member of UB School of Medicine Dean Joh n Naughton's staff. .. I'm not saying that they're not here. But I saw more of what I'd call 'personal pain'." Like family problems and financial problems. " Organizations such as the University had a feeling for years that their people did not get into trouble,·· Jones said , adding in an aside that, of course, University employees - facult y and staff alike - just like everyone else become entangled in the ordinary and extr.aordi· nary hassles of li.ving. · Andover the past two years. si nce EAP was established at U B, about 200 people have sough t out Jones for help. " I'm not a therapist, '' he said . He was a middleman. Em ployees contacted him and he put them in touch with the prope r L agencies that cou ld help them deal with their particular predicaments. "Part of my job was to have enough insight to get them to see someo ne who was com petent to counsel them;· Jones explained. Jones typically saw each person only once. And man y times, he saw them at the Burger King on the corner of Main Street and Bailey Avenue . When employees called him, he'd ask where they would be most comfo rtable meeting. He would not, however, go to their homes. Except for those who drink who almost always deny that they do, the employees who came to Jones knew what their problems were, but didn ' t know quite how to solve them. Jones listened and sugges ted the most appropriate agency, which was often a United Way agency. everal employees called him to complain th at the y did not receive their S paychecks . Though these are not th e problems EAP was designed to deal with, J ones nevertheless referred them to the ap propriate agency : U B's Payroll Department. Fees for services differ at each agency.

That person returned to Jones and told him the su pport group had cha nged a lifetime dilemma. But people rarely reported back to him , he said. The initial EA P agreement was signed by UB Presi dent Steven Sample and CSEA Local 602 President Barb ara Christy in 1982. This past spring a second one was signed by Sample and representatives of U B's six un ions. which made the program available 10 all UB ~em ployees . EA P is intended to help troubled employees find the proper organization or counselor who can help them deal with whatever problem prevents them from do ing their jobs to the best of their abilities.

Yet, copyright regulations haYC implications for journals. While few journals are beseiged by movie producers wanting to buy film rights, textbooks publishers fCCCjuently ask for permission to reprint arllcles. What is - the legal situation? Should the editor grant permission? How much money shotld be requested, if any? The editor needs to think about the d iscipline that the journal represents. What are the main currents and are they being ade<jUately represented in what is published? Is the journal providing a place for new thinking in the field and thereby providing scholarly leadership? Is the journal encouraging interdisciplinary work - or is there too much such work so that the field is losing its idenM\y? Is there an appropriate mix of ideological, methodological and substantive viewpoints? Are younger scholars given a place or is the journal dominated by the "establishment'"!

Gatekeepiog is a job that requires leaden;hip, imagination and a sense of the direction of an academic field . An imaginative editor can have a really significant impact on a field by introducing new perspectives.

Such ts the power of the editor. A word is neoessary aboU1 the role of scholarly journals. ln a period of increasing pressure to publish and a decline in tbe nuinbers of uniYCrsity press books issued annually, the journals haYC become increasingly important. With seYCre pressures on library budgets, it is more difficult to start a new journal than it once was. Jeurnals have a pecking order and in every field there is a ...,u known ranking of scholarly pub!lcations - despite the fact that these ranlcings are seldom "objec.tiYC." ln most fields, scholarly journals are the primary mearts of knowledge trartsmissio 0 . The)"are the most efficient way of getting new knowledge even-though most scholarly journals :ye not YCry efficient. My journal, typical for the social sciences and humanities, takes six months in production and it is not unusual for an article to wait for a year bet...,.n !'~P.tance and publi.cation. Compcuttoo IS fierce ..Our. reJec- . tion rate is about 80%, agam fauly typical for the top-ranking journals in related areas. Despite computerized data bases, sateJlite communications networks and the like, in most fields of knowledge the cutting edge of scholarshi p and research is communicated in ways not far removed from the publishing technologies of the 19th century. There are, of course, exceptions, particu· larly in the medical sciences, where modem technology bas been wedded to scholarly communications. Further, scholarly journals face a difficult future . Increased costs of production and mailing on the one hand and steady or in some fields even decreasing circulation on tbe other band mean ftscal problems. Some journals have gone under, while others now charge their contribu· tors to print their articles or even to have a manuscript evaluated. The pho· tocopyUig;te"Volution bas deeply affected the scholarly journals in ways not completely understood. Viewpoints Editors. of scholarly journals have their share of vicissitudes, but there's also pleasure- and power and problems. To begin witj), virtually all edit on; come to their jobs 'with no training. They have neYCr run a journal and are unaware both of the large policy issues relating to the future of a scholarly field and of the small questions of editorial management. Furtbet; editors are rarely paid for their work, which can consume many hours a month. In some cases, generous university ad minis· trators, recognizin~ editorial labor and realizing that bousmg a journal is a source of prestige for the institution, grant the editor some released time or some secretarial help, but these boons are the exceptions rather than the rule. Journal editors are chosen for their scholarly accomplishments, their sense of dedication to the field, or occasionp ally because they are willing to say "yes" when asked. They typically serve fo r a fiXed term of fiYC years or more. A few hold the job for a longer period and quite a number are burned out after a brief try. Schola£1y editors begin their jobs as amateurs and often end it with a repository of knowledge which is seldom passed on to the next incumbent. They learn "on the job" since there ate' few sources of knowledge. The challenges facing a scholarly editor in the 1980s are immense. The traditional three-ring cir<:us of publishing four issues a year looms largest. The edi- be journal editor sits on top of this explosiYC situation, and is generally ill-prepared to handle the challenges T ...... Letters TraveletS to the Soviet Union have one Ineluctable obligation EDITOR: outweigh arguments in favor of boycotts. Anecdotal evidence suggests to me that con· slderably more UB faculty than in the past few years have ~ntly made or are planning trips to the USSR .

The graduate program. initiated in 1977 by the State University College at uffalo- ( Buffalo-sum:), was- rranSferred.to the Universi1y, said Harry Sultz, D.D.S., M.P. H., dean of HRP, to capitalize on UB's Health Sciences Center. The center includes the School of Health Related Professions, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy, and School of Dentistry. ..This culminates a coordinated effort on the part of administrators and faculty at both the State University College at Buffalo and the State University of ew York at Buffalo, which required T several years of negotiation and program development ," Sultz said. "It is recognized as one oft he earliest examples of the implementation of Chancellor Clifton Wharton's multi-phasic /'Ian fo r maximizing the resources o the "St!NYsystem." .. It is never easy to relinquish a promising academic program that this college has developed ," said D. Bruce Johnstone, Ph.D., president of Buffalo State. "However, our faeulty and I believe the dieletics profession will be better served by UB's Health Sciences Center for the master's degree. We are proud to continue our association with the graduate program, now at UB, as well as the undergraduate dietetics program that co nt inues here at Buffalo State." In the early 1960s, before UB's School of Health Related Professions existed, Buffalo State established the undergraduate program to prepare dietitians. In 1977, with financoal support from the U.S. Department of Health , Elluc·a tion a·nd Welfare , the college initiated a graduate program. The grant that the federal ageqcy funded was wrilten by Ruth Kocher, a public health nutritionist and registered dietitian, who holds her masler's degree with a major in nutrition from Harvard University's School of Public Health. An associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at Buffalo State for six years, she accepted an invitation by U B in 1983 to design and develop the University's diet~tics program. Kocher is now director of UB's graduate program in clinical dietetics. The rrogram, housed in the Department o Medical Technolo$)1, is intended for baccalaureate-level dietitians who need to increase fhCirknowleagtlo advance their careers in management, teaching, and specialized clinical care in nutrition. HRP faculty, in collaboration wilh UB's Multidisciplinary Graduate Group in utritionaJ Sciences, are currently developing a second track for the program, a research track. intended for physicians, dentists, nurses, biologists, biochemists, and others interested in nutritional research. 0 / Vietnam veterans: many feel lied to, ignored, bitter By ~NN WHITCHER ften he came hOme alone, a mere 36 hours dividing the pristine hometown and the nightmare of Vietnam. For the most part, he was met with di~dain, if not hatred . And for many Vietnam vets, the interve ning ye ars have bro ught only economic hardship and bitter social withdrawal Larry, a disabled Vietnam veteran who spent more than a decade in com bat duty, put it this way: ~ We paid the equivaJent to a brand new Cadillac, but when we got }lome we found a burned-out Volk swagen with a parking ticket on it. Larry and Dr. Lydia Fish, a cultural anthropologist and directo r of a Vietnam veterans' oral histor y project at Buffalo State College, addressed 15 area secondar y social studies teachers this summer as pan of an N.E.H .-funded teacher training program being run by UB's Faculty of Arls and Leiters. Said Larry: "To know that these guys can come in and relate an experience objectively, wirhour being judged you'd be suprised how many will do th at. You have to understand that there 's still a deep-seated rage , not only over the war itself but what has happened since we've come home ,.. Larry told the teachers. The Vietnam yete rao and father offou r cited the 70 per cent unemployment rate among Vietnam War combat veterans, according to statistics gathered by veterans organizations. "Many are simply incapable of holding a job. Some of them have had as many as 150 jobs. How many people do you know who are qualified to take over 150 jobs, walk in and get the job and keep it? lt 's a re-acclimation process and an acceptance home that is so important and so needed. .. We're not talking about parades, we're not even talking about honor. Because in our estimation, one of the major issues is that 2500 Americans are still left behind over there. Their war is not over. So this country, in our theory, has no honor to give us. Because; the day we were pulled out of Vietnam , 3000 Americans were still held captive. And len years later, 20 years fo r some individuals, 22 years for others - these brothers are still held in captivity. Most of us who have seen what there is to see, do not sit back and say, give us our honor. It's like getting bJood from a stone, yo u just can't do it."' The area teachers were asked to recall their own experiences during the Vietnam years. A few had "calculatedly ignored" the war, others were former activists. One had worked as a U B security guard during the height of t he campus unrest here. He recalled what he deemed the self-seeking destructiveness of at least some protesters. .. We, on the other hand, were trying to unify against the resisters just for the fac1 that they were not reallY resisting the war,'' Larry remembered. ":That is, we were being forced to bear the brurit of what they thought was the war. To these resisters, we were the war. "In fact , the first guy who rotated from our unit in 1966 was killed in Oalcland by an anti.)..r..ar protester. This washlter inc months in southeast Asia. The guys O looked around and said, 'that's home?' " only does the government not avow any knowledge of what has happened, but Coping with Vietnam's sum-J landscape was challenge enough, he indicated. is h, who has been interviewing Vietnam veterans for the past two years, reported that .. almost every veteran has a they are also taking no active part in trying to change what is happening. .. In most cases, we did not know where we were .... story about being spat upon, usually by a 'hippy,' and being called a baby-killer." While some veterans were able to make the transition - at least superficially back to civilian life, others were unable to cope, she said. The percentage of Vietnam veterans in prison or dead by their own hand is frighteningly high, the lwo reported. Larry told seminar participants that 25 per cent of Attica State Prison's 2100 inmates are Vietnam veterans ... We have two Congressional Medal of Honor winners who are doing.back-to-back life (te rm s) . We're not saying they're all innocent. We are asking if perhaps they might not be there had they received a different kind of homecoming." Of the 500,000 Americans who saw combat in so utheast Asia, 58 ,012 were killed , Larry reporled . He added thai 220,000 have died in the years since the American troop wi thdrawal. Like many Vietnam vete rans, Larry is particularly bitter on the subject of Agent Orange. The recent S80 million out-of-court settlement was not a ruling on the veteran s' behalf. he s t ated, nor was it an admission of official culpability for the deaths and maladies a ttr ibuted to the widely-used chemical. Said Larry: "I have a 17-year-old son, a 16-year-old son, a 15-year-old daughler and a 14-year-old daughter. All four are affecred by Agent Orange. My beautiful 15-year-old daughter has something !hat looks like ringworm . .. from her waist to her head. I have three children with heavy-duty neurological problems. Not Larry and his "brothers" are still trying "Most of us did not carry calendars, to understand what qualities have enabled some veterans to cope while except for 'short-timers' caJendars.

By its your 365 you started out with, or 395 in very nat~re , the much discussed posttraumatic stress syndrome is an unpredic- the case of the Marines ... It's so hard for others table quantity, said Larry. "Because the veteran appears adjusted today, there is, unfortunately, no precedent to say, he 's fine and will be fine ... Because at 17, 18 or 19 years old, yo u have no concept of what it is to pick up another human being in pieces." For some, drug use became a tragic means to "send the brain out on vacation .. amid the horrors. Larry was himself addicted to an unnamed drug for 17 years. Moreover, drug use among U.S. troops received de facto encouragement, he said. " In 1965, they used to issue 100 benzedrine in a bottLe per man for a fiveday missio.n . You were not to sleep in order that you could go out and ·gather informa tion and come back. You were given mo rphine to take with you in case you were hit. All the drugs yo u wanted." Larry, a dtoabled VIetnam retet'ln, 'paid for • Cadillac, got a burned-out Volkswagen.' people to get a handle on the places we spealc of. We talk aboul places like the Happy Valley and Thunder Road . Like we were voyagers in another star system .... ..The only thing Vietnam veterans lost were too many friends and t oo many years," Larry told the seminar participants. "That's all th at was lost by us." Larry firmly opposes a war that would linger as dfd the Vietnam war, and l~~~u i~h;. ~~i~":aesr~:~~" tt~:tvr~~i defeat of the South Vietnamese by 1-966 - just as the American escalation began." What America tried to do was to try to kill the fly with rhe sledgehammer. In other words , yo u're going to take an average soldier and put 150 lbs. of gear on him and he's going to chase away a ljule 85lb. VietCong halfway across Vietnam and in this guy's own backyard." arry said he hopes to spur the American public's examination of government policies in the military domain and elsewhere; help re-integrate the veteran into American society and obtain much deserved financial and spiritual compensation for what the Vietnam veteran has suffered. He explained: '"We' re saying that citizens should be responsible to this L country . Any freedom, any rig ht,.Pf course, has a corresponding respBnsibility. We do not question thaL On the other hand , loyalty has to be a two-way street. If I'm willing to lay down my life for my country, then my country should at least say that when veterans come home, they are not going to be lied to, they are not going to be ignored or jeered, or anything else . ... " Nobody ever went into the military with the belief that they were going to come out rich.

The new minor prog ram that is being developed at the State University at Buf~ falo is another step in the improvement of undcrgradaate education, said Mari lou Healey, associate dean of undergraduate ed ucation. ·· For the last seven to eight years, the University has been co nce ntrating on developing its general education program, so our attention was focused on i mprov~ment of undergradu ate education by providing breadth; ' Healey explained . Now th e attention is being given to providing depth through minors. (The general education program requires that students com plete seven co urses in fi ve knowledge areas, as well as attain college maih and writing skills, she ex plained .) ··one of the impetuses of th e initiation of the minor program was that we were really searching for ways to attract very bright ans and science miOJ " she stated. " We didn' have that pro blem seve n or eight years ago, but the numbers have shifted from arts and sciences to the professional schools ... . So this need for recruitment led to the development of minors that should appeal to arts and Sciences majors. The three approved minors are management, design and teacher educatiop. The School of Management will start its minor program in the fall of 1985. It should prove popular with students who wish to combine business aspects with a liberal education major. ''The school can only take a certain number of stud ents as majors, but they've worked out a way to accommodate mi nors in a limited way,"' Healey said. The minor in design is offered th rough the School of Architecture and Environmenta l Design and will accept students next semester, according to Katherine Kubala, assistant dean. The minor is not meant to train designers, but to give a stud ent enough awareness of design to help. him in his chosen field . For instance, an Englis h major employed at a publishing company might find design backgro und and jargon helpful when working with th e compan y's graphic artists, she explained . The minor will give the studen t a taste of graphic design, architecture and environmental studies. The minor could also be a springboard to graduate stud y, Ku bala poin ted out. he teacher edu cation minor has existed as a program. Healey T always noted , but is now formalized as a minor. The departme nt is already acce pting applications. ''Lots of other minors are being prO· posed." Healey said , ··espcdaJiy in the a rt s and scie nces areas. Many departments arc busily putting toget her programs.·· And so me are pulling toget her. more than one. Richard J anis. associate de.an of Social Sciences, pointed o ut that some departments may have minors msubfields. For instance, philosophy is working on m inors in the philosophy of science. in professiona l ethics and in Minora will be a..-.llable almost Immediately In Do1lgn (abo•e) and In the School olltfsnagement (at left). religion. Interdisciplinary minors in the social sciences that are being developed are enviro nmenta l studies, social research and policy stud ies. Jarvis said. Anot her minor being established is in modern languages. Management majon> will fi nd that a good way to give an international perspective to thei r degrees , Healey poi nt ed out. Applied compuung, ano th er proposed mi nor. would enable students with a liberal a rts type of major to blend it with a more career-orien ted or skills-o riented program. she said. Befo re, only math or com puter scie nce: majors could take more than one or two co mputer co urses because there were so ma ny math prereq uisites for the cour:)es. Healey Slated. The applied computing minor sho uld open up the program to more students. Many different departments. including math. statistics, com puter science and perhaps the Faculty of Ed ucati onal Stud ies will contribute to the program, she said. An adva nt age of declaring a mino r will be that students will be able to ge t t. course they want. In so me instances. courses will be limited t o minors the way they're limited to maj ors now, Healey said. Generally, th e requirements of each minor will be a minimum of six courses, with two of th ose at the lower-divisio n level and fo ur at the upper level, Healey said . If a department wants to deviate from th ose requirements, the change has to be justified at the tim e the minor is proposed , she said. Students apply for a minor in the same way they apply for a major, she said. Each department sets up its own cri teria for 0 admittance.

That was one of many engineering problems tackled by 28 area high school studen ts during a six-week crash course held here this summer. The four-credit course - EAS 101 Topics in Engineering and Applied Science - is pan of the Pre. College Minority Engineering Summer Program. Sponsored by Buffalo-area Engineering Awareness for Minorities (BEAM), the Faculty of Engineering and Ap'slied Sciences and the TRIO Programs Office, the summer program is designed .. to acquaint academically prepared, postlith grade minority students with the engineering profession," says James R. ~e . executive directo r of BEAM .

The fifth da y of each week was devot ed to acquainting them with the Unive rsity environment and career opportunities. Everyone who participated receive d a modest weekly stipend. For the last three summers the course has been taught by Stephen C. Margolis, Ph . D ., professor of electrical and computer engineering. A scientist with the Westinghouse Atomic Power Division for ten years before joining UB in 1966, Margolis uses the course to show how algfbra, geometry, and trigonometry apply to practical engineering problems. ·· 1 custom design the course to meet the needs and strengths of the students, •· s-ays Margolis. He begins by assessing the students' familiarity with the engineer's a11-purpose, indispensable tool - math. "The single greatest cause of attrition among students in engineering is inadequate preparation in mathematics, .. explains Margolis. "The students in the summer program have to demonstrate a high level of academic ability to be accepted. They're familiar with mathematical formulas and can solve standard equations. But to succeed in engineering they must also know how to reduce practical problems to their mathem.oni~l elements.·· or one of his assignments Margolis asked the student s to calculate the height of a bridge usi ng only a sextant. "To solve that problem," he says, .. they F The BEAM Class ol 19/U. had to identify the applicable trigonometric principles.'" George Lee, Ph. D., professor of civil engineering and dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences , created the summer program to improve the opportunities for minorities in the engineering professions . Lee was instructor, director, and fund-raiser during the early years. Three years ago. at Lee's initiation. a more broadly conceived effort was launched: BEAM . BEAM is a not-forprofit corporation supported by local induslry with lhe aim of increasing the number of Buffalo area minority high school students entering and successfully co mpleting college programs in engineering. Though housed at UB, BEAM is an independent organization that works with all the colleges in the area. The 24 d ues-paying member industries provide engineering mentors to partiepaling schools. BEAM and designated faculty advisors identify 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students who show interest in engineering. The volunteer engineers meet with students to discuss how mathematics and scientific principles relate to procedures used in industry. The program also links junio rs and se niors with local companies for demonstrationi, presentations, field trip activities, and hands-on projects. It helps teachers develop more effective curricula. Legge, who worlccd as an engineer for Bell Aerospace for 22 yea rs, says that industry support for BEAM has been strong. At its inception BEAM became a s ponsor of th e summer program and placed it on a more stable footing. This year Westinghouse contributed $10,000 to underwrite the summer effort, which in the past ha s been sup po rted by companies such as the Linde Division of Union Carbide and Bethlehem SteeL "This Fall we're going to be able to double the scope of BEAM ," comments Legge. "About 21 schools in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area will be involved. Enrollment should exceed 600 students." Though BEAM helps identify and recrui t students for the summer program, students from any Buffalo area high school are eligible to apply. The TRIO . Ci~~r;~ssi~~~~r::r~~=~eb~i~~1~}f~C Robert L. Palmer, assists with recruitment and also arranges speakers and supplemental activities.

That's how Sean Murray and his wife, Debbie Henretta,) described Northern Ireland (they borrowed the word in~ from the title of a book by Leon and Jtll Uris called Ireland: A Terrible Beauty). Sean works in the Office of International Student Affairs at UB and is a A student in law and counseling here. His grandparents came from Ireland and it was a place be always wanted to visit. After a trip there in 1981 , he decided be wanted to go back for his honeymoon. Sean and Debbie, who were married Aug. 4, recently returned from their honeymoon which they spent visiting places in England, Scotland, and Ireland, including Belfast. Sean assured Debbie that Northern Ireland isn' as bad as Americans think it is. "I had heard that parts were ver y beautiful," she said . " I knew there was trouble; I just figured we wouldn' go to places like Belfast." That agreement changed when it turned out they would have to stop in Belfast to rent a car. But the car they wanted wasn't available, so they stayed overnight. What really impressed the couple abOut the area were the contrasts; the "terrible beauty." The fighting is limited to the centers of a few cities like Belfast and Londonderry, they said. Surrounding those areas are miles and miles of beautiful, peaceful countryside. l'n the trouble spots, it's difficult to tell police and soldiers apart; they all wear bullet-proof vests a nd helmets, Debbie said. The police stations resemble prisons, Sean noted . They're surrounded by twoor three-story fences topped with barbed wire and equtpped with cameras that scan from watch towers. The cou ple noticed an elegant hotel that was completely fenced oi'fand had private armed guards at the gate. Steel doors, shutters, walls, and barbed wire are found all over Belfast. But five minutes from downtown there's a beautiful rose aarden with hundreds of varieties of blooms - and no guards. ..

A riot , s parked by the appea rance of Martin Galvin , a leader who had been banned from Ireland, left one man dead and at least 20 hurt. .. It shows the contradiction of the whole th ing," Debbie said. "We were 40 minutes away in the Antrim Coast, the most beautiful place we bad seen on the whole trip. "Northern Irela nd may be war· torn and Belfast is a very sad city to see," she said, but not far from that area beautiful landmarks can be found . ''Ameri cans don't bear about that side of Nort hern Ireland." The Antrim Coast is a resort area like Virginia Beach, Sean said, filled with tourist shops and the like. But even there, an occasional armored truck can be seen. " It s naps you back ; you're still in Northern Ireland ," Debbie said. Sean also visited during a tense time on his previous trip. He arrived just before Bobby Sands became the first of a series W of prisoners to die from hung~r strikes. " But the kids look across the street and Sean passed the rose gardens and see men with weapons," Debbie noted .

Despite numerous employee layoffs and terminations in most industrial and business organizations in this region. the University has maintained our full complement of employees. The faculty and staff salaries we receive are, on average, very competitive with the salaries paid at the best universities in the country. As individuals, and collectively as an institution, we have much for which we can be thankful. We at SUNY -Buffalo now have an opportunity to show our concern for our fellow Western New Yorkers through the t 984 Slate Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA). The SEFA campaign permits you to make a lax deductible contribution thmugh payroll deduction to the- local United Way or to a host of other agencies that exist to provide care and support to individuals in need. I urge you, as a member of this University community, to contribute the maximum amount possible through SEFA to support the work of these agencies. The SEFA campaign brings together over t 00 human health and welfare agencies into a single annual fundraising campaign. These agencies provide over 250 assistance programs in a variety of service areas including alcohol and drug abuse counseling, help for battered children and spouses, fam ily counseling, blood donation programs, medical research, and assistance and recreation programs for the physically and mentally handicapped and the elderly. You can e~her make an undesignated pledge to the SEFA campaign, in which case your contribution will be divided among all thl! participating agencies. or you can target your gih for the support of one or more specific programs. As you consider the amount of your pledge, please keep in mind that we are a public university that depends on public funds to support our own programs and payroll. We could not continue to exist without genero~s and continuing support from every taxpayer in New York,State. The SEFA cam!liDgn gives us an opportunity to say "thankyou" to our friends and neighbors in the larger community who. through their taxes and voluntary contributions, make it possible for us to do our jobs. I hope very much that this year's SEFA campaign at SUNY -Buffalo will result in a 100% rate of employee participation. I also hope that each of you will pledge a1 least 1/2"/o of your annual salary to this campaign (i.e., at ledsl $2 per pay period for each $10,000 in annual salary). When you think about it, 1/2% of our salaries is a very modest investment in the community of which all of us are a part, and on which all of us depend for our support. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and for your contribution to the 1984 SEFA campaign. Sincerely, - STEVEN 8 . SAMPLE President liTHE SEFA STEERING COMMITTEE ANTHONY F.

CISZKOWSKI School of Dentistry $205,000 ---- $271,2B1 �Some things you should know about SEFA, the State Employees Federated Appeal. WMt Is SEFA? SEFA is an acronym for the State Employees Federated Appeal, a fund-raising campaign directed at UB faculty and staff and other State workers which makes it possible for you to contribute to a wide spectrum of service agencies or to only a specific few of your choice. Beneficiaries of the Appeal are the 75 agencies which make up the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, It national health agencies (such as the American Cancer Society or the American Lung Association), and I 5 international service agencies (Planned Parenthood, Oxfam, CARE). H-ere contributions distributed? Your gift may be shared among all 100-plus participating agencies according to a predetermined arrangement and according to local needs - or it may be earmarked for the agency of your choice: all you have to do is indicate that choice ·or choices on the back olthe official pledge card. You probably give to one or more of these agencies already, apart from any organized giving campaign. When you channel that gift through · SEFA, the agency still gets the entire benefit, you gain the same tax dEIIIuction and the University shares in the credit. In addition, you can make your gift through the relatively easy means of payroll deduction spread across the entire year. WMt klncla of aCttvltles do the paortlclplltlng egenclea carry out? United Way agencies offer health s~ices , child and family care, neighborhood programs (through community centers), care for the elderly, emergency..aid (emergency food vouchers or Red Cross sheller programs for fi re and disaster victims, for example), and information and referral services. Over 300,000 persons from all economic, rel igious, and ethnic background s were served last year by these local agencies, including 504 UB employees and 202 members of their families. The national health agencies involved in SEFA provide community services, public health education programs, and professional education. Many of them support University research. The participating international service agencies serve 38 mWion people overseas annually, providing food, medicine, tools for self-help programs, and emergency survival needs. Why Is there a SEFA campaign Instead of a United Way drive? The advantage of the SEFA program over th e United Way alone is that you They head a campus-wide steering committee which includes 27 representatives ol offices and divisions, pledged to provide energetic. enthusiastic leadership. The campaign. however. is dependent for its success on the efforts of each of us. can choose from a broader spectrum of serv1ces to which to contribute. You may direct a gift any way you like: to one or more agencies; to a group of agencies, or to the general SEFA Fund. Also, the campaign is the only time during the year when employees are asked to contribute at work. What Is the responsibility of the UniYerally In promoting community welfare In generel and supporting the SEFA campaign In paortlcular? The University is now the largest divisional employer in Western New York. Those of us wh o work here have enjoyed an average pay increase of almost 30 per cent over the past three years. No one has been laid off here in recent memory. On the other hand, the other major employers in the region have been devastated by a slumping and changing economy, and thousands upon thousands have lost their jobs. Instead of continuing to make sizable contributions to the United Way as most of these workers did when they were employed, they have had to become clients of many of the agencies. As a result, those with jobs are asked to contribute more. UB employees may be said to have a social responsibility for increasing their ijiving in these times of dislocation and stress for many others in Western New York. And that's a high-sounding, somewhat platitudinous. but nonetheless valid statement. But there's another side to UB participation: the University is in large measure dependent upon the good will of the local community for the continuation and enrichment of its base of tax support. That community good will is heightened and cultivated by responsible community citizen shi!Ton the part of UB and its faculty-stall family. How does ·lhe community know how well UB supports the campaolgn? As the area's largest single divisional employer, UB is in a campaign classification all by itself . We are no loflller part ol the general colleges and universities div1sion; no longer part of a larger campaign entity. If and when an entire division fails to meet its gQill, it's usually not easy to pinpoint which particular institution may have failed. But it UB should fall short. there's no way to soften the bad news. Who Ia spearheading the 1984 UB SEFA Campaign? Dr. John Naughton, vice president lor clinical affairs, is 1984 Campus Campaign chair · person; Robert J. Wagner, vice president tor University Services, is the associate chairperson. What Is the UB goat lor 1984? The University has set its sights on a goal of $260,000. That's a $55,000 increase over last year's target of $205,000 and about $4 I ,000 higher than the $219,000 actually-raised in 1983. Why so)arge an Increase? The goal, though higher, IS modest compared to the percentage of total payroll which other area employers traditionally provide for the United Way. UB's increased goal as a percentage of its annual payroll is well below community standards, and, at the re<jluest of the President, is to be increased over the next several years in order to more closely approach those standards. Is the overall total the only goal? No. UB wants to increase its rate of employee participation as well as its dollar total. While employees at other institutions routinely achieve rates of 90 per cent partici pation or more, the University counted gifts from only 61 .t per cent of its faculty and staff in 1982 and from 63.3 per cent in 1983. The percentage is on the rise but still has a long way to go. Won't there have to be some extra efforts to meet this year's goal? Yes, and the steering committee has plans tor exactly that. There will be special efforts to increase participation and the rate of giving. Those who make a pledge of one per cent of annual salary, or more, may be singled out in some way if they,are agreeable. The steering comm~tee will make a further effort to identify and encourage thOse able to pledge $1 ,000. The President has announced that he will pledge 2 per cent of his annual salary and has asked others to join him. When does the campaign begin? Official dates for the UB SEFA Campaign are from Sepiember t9 -0clober 5. President Sample solicited his staff the last week in June. You'll be heanng about the drive in your office soon, it you haven't been contacted already. Where can you get additional Information or answers to specific questions about SEFA participation?

IIThey're Counting on You The devastating explosion and fire on North Division St. last O(lcember destroyed not only lives and property, but the stability of an entire neighborhood and its residents. Volunteers from United Way agencies responded immediately to the disaster. They were on the scene at once, prepared to act in whatever way necessary to care for the injured and help the area ·s residents rebuild lives shat' tered by the blast. Volunteers collected blood for those injure,d. who numbered over 75 people, and quickly provided sheller, food aod clothing lor more than 225 families leh homeless that night. 'fhese victims. counted on the United Way -supported agencies and the agencies didn't let them down. This terrible tragedy could have happened anywhere, to anybody. Througho I our community, whenever and wherever then~ are people in need, they count on the United Way. Thousands of Western New Yorkers are With out jobs - and consequently, without necessary medical care as they struggle to stretch l1m1ted i ncomes just to survive. George S. was one of them. When he 'jaS laid off from his job at Bethlehem Steel. George lost his health care benefits and could not afford important follow-up care after ) heart surgery. The Health Care Project for the t:Jnemployed and Uninsured, coordinated by the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, helped George gel immediate medical attention. His condition had worsened: it was now complicated by a tumor,' wh ich was removed. Without the United Way's help, George says he would now be suffering, maybe dying. Agencies supported by the United Way also assist victims of rape, sexual assault and incest. Many of these victims are children, who count on the help of United Way agencies for therapy to overcome their fear and pain. Thousands of youngsters from throughout our area depend upon many member agencies supported by your United Way contributions. Th ey include children who are mentally handicapped , learning disabled or suffering from cerebral palsy. Our elderly and shut-in neighbors count on the United Way, too. Thanks to United Way assistance, nutrition programs provide many hot meals each jay at selected centers. Nutritious food and the company of friends go a long way toward making life easier tor these residents, who rely upon your support of the United Way. When your neighbors or even you yourself need them, more than 70 United Way agencies stand ready {o help. • 1 •Child and Spouse Abuse Needs in the area of child and spouse abuse have become more apparent 1n recen t years.

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 conference. titled .. Energy: Where Do We Go From Here?" prO\•ided a look at long-range national and global energy trends and suggested means bv which the SUNY sys tem can sec k to "co pe with future oil and gas shortages. Simpso n said he hoped the conference . . would ··gently prod us in t o takin g th e 'long view.' We need to begin preparing. at least mentally, for the energy problems we will face in the year 2000." I n the keynote address. Barbara Bleviss , presi de nt of the Energy Conservation Coalition. predicted a future of decreasin g US domestic production of oil and gas and a world of increas ing energy demand s. Man y options for meeting this demand were reviewed by Bleviss. including coitventional technologies. new non-renewable technologies (solar. biomas s). a nd conse rvation. On the last point. Bleviss st re ssed that SUNY can a nd must be responsi ble for widesp read conservation efforts to bes t prepare for the energy sit uation in the year 2000. Dennis Andrejko. · UB associate profcsso( of architectu re. pointed out that ola r energy can fulfill many need s on campus - to hea t. cool. light. and generate power.

" I believe the start has a lot to do\.\ 11 h the finish.·· he noted. The transition from high school to th e environment of a large institution like UB is tough.

A conce pt termed .. cogeneration" was the topic of disc ussion for Gene Presto n, founder of the American Energy Resources Co rporat ion. .. Cogeneration·· is a means of genera ting both electricity and usable heat. Preston proposed campus cogeneration plants using natural gas-fired turbine/ genera tors. The electricity generated could be used on cam pus or so ld to the local ut ili ty compa ny while the heat produced by the plant co ul d heat thC campus. This in novation would be especially cost effective in parts of the State where n<!tural gas price s arc low and electric rates arc high . The two-day conference brought t o light a wealth of conce pts. old and new. which combined may provideS U ~ Y with a secure energy future. Simpson indicalCd . Simp~on. who is credited with saving Sl million through conservatio n effort s here at UB. reported that th e event was .. tim ely. info rmat ive. and even had a dose of controversy. It was successful if it got us thinking and sparked a ·few more energy saving project s:· 0 . address the needs of in ner-city ci t izens, minorities, and the poor.

The minority percentage is high enough to rank U8 in the top category in a national survey of American medical schools (see accompanying anicle). The 135 students were selected out of a pool of 3100 applicants and 580 interviewees.

SUNY Albany, and Canisius College had the highest representation! wi th ot~er pro~inent schools including Harvard, Penn, and MIT. Although b1ology, b1ochemtstry and chemistry undergraduate majors dominated, so~e m~mbers of the class had less typical majors, including electrical and chemical eng1_neenng, biomathematics, religion. political science. history, computer science, and fore.1gn language.

"'At this point. it appears quite likely that a criminal seid'al assa ult did not occur, .. Public Safety Director Lee Griffin com ment ed Wednesday. The victim herself has said her initial statement was filed under the influence of alcohol and when she was under a great deal of stress. Subsequent investigation by Public Safety, including laboratory tests. does not su ppo rt the claim of a criminal sexual attack, Griffin said. The alleged assault occurred at about A 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning in Fargo Quad , where the victim said she had been dragged into a stairwell by four male students and sex ually assaulted. Public Safety investigators learned that there had been several room parties in the dorm that night. and that the alleged victim and her alleged attackers had been drinki ng heavily. Griffin warned st udents about alcohol abuse. .. Apparently. yo ung people play a drinking game called 'quaners. · ··he said . .. There are people who become proficient and take advantage of others.

Some housing task force suggestions doii't need Common Council approval She predicted that there will be no ) problems with the recommendation concerning thedefinition offamWy, but the zoning district and licensing proposals might raise questions. The wording of the recommendations might be changed for legal purposes, LoTempio said. but in general, the council members accepttheconcept of the l9 proposals. The recommendations might be ready for council approval by Oct. 2. with final approval about a month afterthat. she explained. ··1 objected to the emphasis on legislative solutions which I thought were confrontational."' she said. The report tried to act on overcrowding as a cure for the problems of gar.bage, noise, health and safety, fire and appearance of homes in the area. Schuelke said. She said the number of ·tudents Jiving in the area doesn't necessarily cause the other problems. She also o bjected to the s tru cture of the task fo rce, sa~ng that the staff of the University Heights Community Cen ter had too much influence. She also was displeased that the corporation counsel, who was involved in the arrests of 19 s tudent s earlier this yea r, was a legal advisor on the task force. A letter answering Schuelke's objections was submitted by Debbie Abrahams. who is a representative of the Student Association on the task force, a member of the board of directors of the University Heights Community Center and the director of external affairs with the Student Association : John Crawford. president of the Graduate Student Association. and Jane McAievey, pres iden t of the Student Association. While Schuelke has some valid points, the way s he prese nted them was detrimental to the purpose of the task · force, Abrahams said. Schuelke said she s upported many of the recommendations of the task force, especially tlfose dealing with community relations. She stated that she will wait and see what ac ti on is taken by the Common Council before special meeting of the Common taking any o ther steps.

He served as an advisor. ··1 intend t o act on some of the proposals that don't need anybody's approval, .. Krakowiak said. For instance. no one has t o authorize better communication between UBand Univers ity Heights, he said. The Unive rsity can give students who live off-campus information on legal rights, hou sing codes and how t o be a good neighbor. he said. For example, a st udent who's wide awake from s tud ying at I a.m. has to be aware that blaring a s tereo migh t disturb the neighb o r who has to get up at 6 to work at Chevy. "We can educate them to be good neighbors." he said. Krak owiak noted th at the University divides s tudents into two groups : commuters and residents . But there are students who have moved out of the dorms or from their parents' We s tern New York homes to off-campus housing near.the Unive rsity. They're not dorm students. but they don't think of themselves as commuters. he said. He suggested that so me sort of student organization. like the ones that exist for commuters and for dorm students. be formed for thi third group of students. He also sugges ted that s tudents living in the University Heights area might volun teer v.ith the area Jibraries, tutorial program s. Meal s on Wheel s, or block clubs as a way to bridge the gap between ~tudents and other area resident s. "I t would give the s tud e nt s a sense of purpo se and thecommunitywould sec that they're involved,'' Krakowiak said.

Sl,.w muahroom grown Mushrooms on cotton ~wa1fe compo•l (ln,.l}. They could become a staple vegetable for millions of undernour_ished people throughout the world, Prof. Miles suggests E dible mushrooms, once called the "food ofthe gods" and still treated as a garnish or delicacy in the United . States, could become - thanks to advances in cultivation methods - ~taple vegetable for millions of undernourished people through-out the world, according to _Philip G. Miles, Ph.D. , UB professor of·biology. "Cultivated mushrooms are rich in protein, can grow on substrates of agricultural and industrial discards like straw and cotton, require little land, and yield compost that can improve soil," says Miles. iles .also hopes his current research will lead 10 the tlomcstication of what many American connoisseurs consider the most savory mushroom of all the morel, now available only to . the dogged hunter willing 1 muck through Spring woods or to the big spender willing to pay SIO an ounce in a chic restaurant. Miles. who has conducted higher fungi research in the U.S. and Asia for over th in y years. is currently studying the reproduct i~ cyclt of Morchel/a, the wild morel. ... No one has successfully 'fruited' .Morchella on a consistent basis for commercial purposes. We lack a ull understanding of its life cycle and the genetics of its sex uaJ mechanisms." explains Miles. The reproduction of fungi is a roun d a~ bout process. Tbe part known as a mushroom is actually the flesh y"fruit body" of certain types of fungi. The fruit body carries the reproductive spores in the same way an apple bears· seeds. The .. tree" or vegetati ve portion consists of tiny -branched filaments called hyphae which form a mass known as the mycelium. The mycelium colonizes such substrates as soil, wood, and decaying organic matter, and is ordinarily not visi ble. Since mushrooms lack chlorophyll they cannot, like green plants, get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Instead, d uring their vegetative M growth stage, mushroom mycelia secrete enzymes that break down compounds such as cellulose and lignin present in the substrate. The degraded compounds are then absorbed by the hyphae and the mycelium enlarges - usually laterally, in some cases growing several yards in diameter within the substrate. Partially understood environmental factors (temperature and light are known to be critical) stimulate the second or reproductive growth stage. Cells of one mycelial strain fust with cells of the opposite type to fonn a mycelium that contains both types of nuclei. The new mycelium continues to grow and eventually develops into a mature frult body, the gills of which are lined with s~ore-bearing cells called basidia . Various mechanisms trigger the disptrsal of spores, which in turn lodge in a substrate. become hyphae and begin the cycle anew. Spores sometimes fo\\ow farfetched paths to suitable substrates. One of Miles' early professors, Harold J. Brodie, is the leading authority on the "bird•s nest" fungi - so named for its cupptd shapt and the spore-bearing structure within that resembles a pile of eggs. This spore .. purse" remains at the bottom of the "nest" until a raindrop falls and knocks it into the air. In midflight the purse unrav~ els a long cord which clings to a blade of grass. The parachuting structure will stay fixed until an animal - say, a cow lumbers along and eats the grass. The spores are released from the purse in the digestive tract of the cow and exit with the dung. ~ere they develop hyphae, then mycelia which fuse and finally fruit. Fungi occupy a subtle but significant position in theecolo.gjcaJ order. Together with bacteria. they decompose organic material and liberate carbon, oxygen, nitrogen. and phosphorus into the soil and air. loser to borne. the fu ngi family yeasts, rusts_. smuts, mildews, molds, mushrooms - has profoundly affected human life. Fungi are responsible for dutch elm disease, several 'kinds of costly crop parasitism ~ a number of incurab1e diseases that affiict man_k.ind, as weU as other w~ - includiitg the common irritant, athlete's foot . On tht other hand, without fungi we would lack bread, wine, many ' mold-based antibiotics (ptnicillin was the first), and other gifts. The names we've ascribed to mushrooms~ in particu~ lar, testify to this longstanding mix of love and war: stinkh~rn, itch•s butter, shaggy-mane, destroyin angel, devil•s . snuffbox, earthstar. d ••rood of the gods." Americans, accustomed to using snowwhite buttons to accent a meal, aren't likely to view mushrooms as a primary food. But it 's as a source of important nutrients that Miles believes mushrooms C can make their greatest contribution to human welfare. "Tht mushrooms produced from agricultural and industrial discards,"' says Miles, .. contain 30-50 per cent protein on a dry-weight basis and about 3-4 ptr cent on a fresh-weight basis. This proportion is twice that of vegetables such as asparagus and cabbage, and four times and twelve times that of fruits such as oranges and apples resptct;vely. Whars more important is that mushroom protein contains the nine essential amino acids needed by nlan. • Jn tbe major non-meat source of protein - cereals - one or two amino acids are missing, causing a proportionate reduction in the efficiency of the others. About 25 species of the more than 2,000 edible fungi are widely acCepted for human consumption, but only a haodful are commercially cultivated in significant q uan tities: the white mushroom/ button (Agaricus bisporus), the black forest mushroom/shiitake (Lentinus edodes), the winter mushroom ( Flammulina velutipes), the straw mushroom (Vo/variella volvacea). and the oyster mushroom (P/eurotus). Miles• interest in fungi development has takC:n him to Asia several times since his initial trip in 1963 when, as a Fulbright Research Fellow, he wo rked with the two top fungal geneticists in Japan. Miles was the first U.S. scientist to be awarded a grant to conduct research in China under the 1970 U.S.-Republic of China Copp· erative Science Program. During 3f977~ 1978 sabbatical that included residencies in Japan, Taiwan. and Hong Kong, Miles turned his attention to the edible fungi, in particular the shiitak e, Mraw and· wild matsutakeor pine mushroom - the latter being a succulent exotic as mouthwatering to the Japanese as the morel is to Arrierican myco philes.

LIFE WORKSHOPS / FALL 1984 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

But thin gs shouldn't be as bad for the new and first-year faculty members who heard Welch. They were attending the firs t University-wide faculty developmen t workshop held Aug. 20-24. ··we want to wo r k with you in developing yourself. so you can become a better scholar overall ," said Welc h, one of the leaders of the workshop. The idea for the program came from the Facuh y Senate Committee on Teaching Qualit y.. Welch and Frank Schimpfh.auscr, assistant dean of the School of Medicine. are co-chairrri"en of the committee. The workshop covcFed teac hing and learning styles, th e syllabus, teachin!\ approaches. te s ting. research , and se r yices that are available to faculty. Schimpfhauser said . Afternoon sessio ns gave participants a chance to discuss topics covered in th e m orning. They a lso had the opportun ity . to present a small lecture and get tips on their teach ing style s from expcnenced faculty members. e \lo'ant you to have the opportuni ty to spend some time with an expCrl ," said Charles Founner. associ ale dean of Nawral Sciences and Mathematics. He is heading the mentor portion of the development program. When he started at UB 10 years ago. Fourtner was assigned to teach a class with anot her. more experienced teacher. Fourtner had no teaching experie nce. jus t so me experience as a teaching assistant in a lab. " But I really th o ught I co uld do it. " he said. So he plunged into class and made many mistakes. including drawing wi th one hand while writing with the other. The sludents , unlike Fourtner, were not ambidextrous and got {Jpset because they couldn't keep up. Smiling, the other instructor approached him at th e end of class and s'aid , ··t think we sho uld talk about this.·· With the mentor system. Fo urtner said, the new teachers will get the same chan he had - to have so meone tak e the time to watch them lecture and give them tips. The aim is to mak e each new facult y member "at least a capable teacher. if not a good one,~· Fourtner said . W University. Albin o expressed ca ut ious optim ism and noted that thi s yea r's budget is the besl she's seen in man y yea rs. Begging fo rgiveness for the pun. Alb ino poin1ed to a conc rete reason for her o pt imism the buildings at UB. An other reason for optimism is the student s. In ~ pite of unfavorabl e demographics.

This renewal is &ha racteristic of UB, she said . The administration is new - President Steven Sample has been here only two years and William Gre iner was recentl y appointed provost of the qualit y stud ents in the numbers targeted, Albino said. .. There may be fewer students. but the.re will always be a market for good education that's not o nly transmitted . but.crea<ed by the faculty," she said. She noted that Sample has reaffirmed a primary commitment to research that recognizes the interrelatedness of teaching and resea rch .

Clinical instructio n involves not o nly the stud ent a nd the professor, but the patient. The patient is not an objeCt. but a participant in teaching. aught on said . ·· v o u ha ve to pa y attention to the patient as well as to the learner. " he / stat ed. The patient may be scared or intimidated . And he could be uncomforta ble beca use he has to make hi s body avai lable to a stranger. he said . "The instructor not only has to be a knowledgeable person . but also has to have a pec uli ar se nsi t ivity and awareness thai each patient will react differently,.. aught on said _"The clinical teacher ha s t o recog nize diffe ren ces in persons before he even s tart s teaching.·· Good communication is cri tical, he said. Med ica l jargon and c ultur al differences can stand in the way. ''Most of us went to the nicest schools and s pe nt the s ummers saili ng . not working in restaurants."' he noted . "But we have to relate to the person on his territory, not ours. You can miss a diagnosis because you didn •t co mmunicate in their language. "T he bigges t challenge is being comfortable, not just with healthy people with few limitations, but with pCople with very limited potential and marked limitations. ''But th e mos t important thin g is good communication." 0 Are you compulsive and narcissistic in the classroom? ou 're not the kind of person who stops and looks at himself every time he passes a mirror. but are you narcissistic when it co mes to teaching? Teaching and lea rn ing st yles were disc ussed by Norman Solkoff. a professor of psychology in the Department of Psyc hiatry in the School of Med ici ne. at U B's recent faculty development works hop. The teaching styles he desc ribed, along with their pitfall s~ are: • Paternalistic- This type of teacher think s ''I'm a "replacement for your parents. I will ma_ke all of your important decisions fo r you ... Some students may grow to be dependent , while others may grow rese ntful. Y compares or ridh~ules stude nts. Students avoid the instructor because it's easier to remain unaware of one's defi ciences _ than to risk humiliation. • Elitist - Others' opinions are tre ated with d i'S respect and student s are patron ized. The student maintains distance and feel s shortchanged . • Co mpu/si~ - The teacher bombards students with eve ryth ing he knows about a topic. The res ult is that student s ge t ove rwh e lmed and turned off. Or, they are constantly ask ing wh ic h por ti ons of the material are important to learn. s was poi nted out in the discussion after Solkoff's talk , th e methods noted aren't necessarily bad or mutually exclusive . A t eacher might embrace a combina t ion of th e st yles o r may use d ifferent s tyle s as the se me ster progresses . When not tak en to the extreme. th ey can be effective. Just as there are different teaching styles. there are different learning styles, Solkoff said. A • Authoritarian- "The information I impart to yo u may no t be challenged: I am the ex pert, " is the atti tude of this type. The proble m is that independent judgment is discouraged and stud e nt s don't learn t o differentiate bet ween the expert and the information . He advised participants to be aware of individual karnin g differences and to avQid the assumption that beca use lhey learned in a particular way. everyo ne else should. The learning styles Solkoff desc ribed arc: • A ~'O idant - Because of poor preun iversi t y preparati on . the student expects fail ure. He may be overwhelmed a nd retfcat. The teac her should try to recogniz.e th is earl y and recommend remedial • Narcissistic - This kind of teacher need s consta nt adm iration . When he doesn't receive it. he becomes depressed or trie s to be eve n more sensational. S t udent s don't trusl th e teacher a nd a rc Jess apt to take the subj ect se rio usly. • Judgmental - The ins lructor Services. If the avo idance is ignored, it reinforces the expected failure. • Interactive - These students need reinforcemen t from othe rs. including the teac her. • Competitive Espc;cially in professio nal school s or graduate school. these students are very concerned about grades. The greater the emphasis on grades, th e fiercer the competition in class will be. • Dependent - They see the teacher as the expert and need guidelines and constant encouragement. Gradual weaning is possible. Add ing to the challenge of th e differences in learning styles is the wide range of backgrounds among students. Solkoff said. They rep resent different ethnic and racial groups, ages. lifestyles. and educational goals. He urged the faculty development workshop participants to look around the room and notice that the teachen.. too, represent many d iffe ren t cu ltures. ··v o ur own culture will inOuencc yo u. especially if English is no t your fir-.t la nguage . .. he sa id . Solkoff told them to trv to understand themselves. ho" th ey ·perceive their students. and how their st udents perceive them.

Update on stadium, other projects T he.architectural firm, Sasaki Associates of Boston, Mass., is now preparing the design for the track and field facility with stadium to be con tructed on the Amherst camp~ Harbans S. Grover, director of architectural services at UB. said the stadium should be done by August I of next year - that"s whe1\ -the Empire State Games will be held. And having this stadium was a condition for having the games here, Grover explained. In turn, getting the games ensured that the stadium will have cenain features like artificial turf and a relatively large number of seats. ''A n advantage of Astroturf is that it's a multipurpose s urface .'' Grover said . ..Just change the lines on top and you can play any game you want. '' He pointed out that a grass-covered playing field gets chewed up around the 50-yard line and goal lines during a football game. That" not a problem with artificial turf. ·•And you don) have to wait two years to use it" as you would if you were planting grass from seed, he noted. " I think that was another selling point," Grover stat ed. "We just don ' t have the time. "' The number of seats in the stadi um has been bounced around . Originaily: 10.000 were requested . It was cut back to 3,000, and now. because the Empire State Games are scheduled here, it has gone back to 10,000. A "bowl and berm technique .. will probably be used in the stadium's construction. Earth will be scoo ped out of tbe cen ter in a sou p bowl shape and piled a round the outside. The seats will be buill into the berm or hill and more seats could be added by raising the hill. Grover explained. A 400-meter. eigh t-lane track will surround a stand ard football field . More details aren't available because th e design won't be comp leted for two o r three months. Grover said. The stadium will be built on the quadrangle of land bordered by Augspurger Rd .• Flint Entrance. Audubon Pkwy.. and Hadley Rd .• ""where we have the dirt pile now." he said. The stadium will lie northwest-southeast. the best direction in relation to local winds and the sun. he reported . ''Rich Stadium is north-south," Grover·said. ·•This is better." If the design is ready by the end of this year and the weather isn"t too . bad . construction can start early in 1985, Grover said . He explained that most of the work involves digging and it's actually easier to atcomplish if the ground is frozen because the dirt won't cave in. Then concrete can be poured as soon as il's 40 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer. Here's an update from Grover on other UB construction projects: AMHERST • Jacobs Management Ccnler - should be complete in Oc1ober and the School of Management will probably move in during the semester break . • Athletic Complex - will probably follow the same schedule as Jacobs and be in use ~ during the spring semester. • Park Hall the towering building forthe Social Sciences is scheduled to be !ini hed in mid-1986. • Computing Center - the build ing should be finished in February of 1986. MAIN STREET • Medical School - the first phase of work should be done by mid-1986. That phase includes an addition •attached to Farber and Carey. • Health Science Library in Abbott - should be done at the end of th is year so staff can relocate in the spri·ng. • School of Dentistry work on the old Squire Hall is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 1986. • A sewer improvement project and an electrical service improvement project should be finished toward the end of next year. When that's complete. work on a roadway impro emcnt project tan .start. The road project should be finished in December Of 1985. It will feature a new road to the coal-burning heating plant (south of the Sherman Lot from Bailey to Rotary), a new road from Heyd Drive- to Bailey. and removal of th e bend at the Main-Bailey Lot. 0 The Student Center: food, a garden & games By CONN IE OSW LD STOFKO here can yo u go to li sten to so me music. play billiards o r j ust gaze at a green garde n in the middle of winter? An elegant nightclub in Aorida mi~ht be a correct answer, but we were Lhinkang of so meplace a little closer - the new Student Center at Amherst. The two-floor building near. Lockwood Memorial Library and Bell Hall opened a few days ago. just in t ime fo r the start of th e fall semester. An indoor garden at the main entrance with a tree and flowering plants. adds color to the lobby. On the upper level is a recreatio n complex with a billiards room. a video arcade and table tennis. said Dr. James J . Gruber. director of the Student Development Progra m Office and Student Centers. The room s 3rc large enoUgh fo r professional tournaments, he said. W On the same floor will be a music roo m. It will open as soon as the furniture arrives. but Gruber said he is not sure when that will be. The carpeted room ha s a stage for a soloist o r a small grou p. along with private booths where Hudents can listen to f oords. " h was popular in Squire and we expect it to be well received here." Gruber said . (Sq uire Hall was a student center on the Main St. Campus). n the lower level is a multi-purpose room that can be used for lectures . dances . banque ts. concerts or other activities. It W:JS already used for orientation, he noted. The room can be partitioned into three areas. The multi-purpose room also features a kitchen th a t will be especially useful for the Life Workshops that often focus on the culinary ans. Gruber said. The food available in the center is a .. cross between a Mc Donald's and a pizzeria," said Dean Larabee. manager of food service in the cen ter. Mostly fast food will be se r\'ed - subs. pi1..1.a and grill items. An outside terrace wi th tables and benches will be located ncar a window where students can order food . Just before the building opened. the staff was working fe,•erishly to iron o ut last minute problems . Rew iri ng had to be done because the food se rvice equipme'nt drew more electricity than Was anticipated. Larabee said. Food service hours a re 10:30 a. m. to II p.m. weekdays. 10:30 a.m. to 5 O p.m. Saturdays. and II :30 a . m. to 5 p.m . Sundays.

Originally. that part · was planned as a bowling alley. but it was decided that other facilities had a higher priori1y. he explained. The money that would have ~n u~ed for bowling equipment is being u~ed for the renovation. said Harbans Grover. director of architectural sen -ice). The renov~tion will cost about $314.000. he s_aid. The whole center cos t $3 .54 mil· lion to build. The upper level of the renovated section of the center will house a very large. versatile lounge that will be a vailable on a limited basis for, reservations, Gruber )aid . It \\ill have a large, nine-foot televbion sc~n that he expec ts will be e;pecially popular for W"dlching spo rt s. complex of offices for tudent A organizations will be located o n the lower level of the renova ted section. he said . The House Council and the Division of tudent Affairs will review requests for office space and make recommendations. Ten or twelve rooms will be a\'ailablc and )Qmc can be div1dcd further. As an added convenience, the Student Cen ter will also have a vending room and banking machines. The center was built " with an eye to versatility and to maximize square foo t age." Gruber noted. "The building is there to se rve. to be utilized."" Gruber said . ··11 adds a lot to the quality of life o n the Amherst Campus. "It's primarily for tudcnt • but the em ire community can use it." Tentative hours for the tenter are 7:30 a.m. to midnight weekda ys: 8 a.m. t o midnight aturdays. and noon to· midnight Sundays. Gruber sai d . The hours will be flexible and the center may stay ope n later for special acti' itic~. he indicated . The Student Center is design ea to be accessible lo the handi capped . he said.

Brooks arrived last month from Iowa State University where he had built a college of design over a six-year period. An accomplished administrator and nationally-respected planning scholar, Brooks Also JOins the UB faculty as a full professor in the Department of Environmental Design and Planning. In a rece t interview~ the new dean said he has been asked why he left a program three times the size of UB's. "The reason is quality," he said ...This is a more respected and a more active program. In addition. the program has a sizable number of graduate students, . whereas graduate students at Iowa (in th e College cf Design) accounted for only about live per cent of the student body." Other inducements included SAED's "nation&l reputation of being slightly outside the mainstream,. a little more research-oriented, perhaps a little more socially conscious. And ll 's a very exciting faculty. All of this I found very attractive .... " Harold Cohen has done an excellent job over the last ten years of building the program, virt uall y from scratch , to a sizable and well-respected program. To me the remarkable thing is th at Harold Cohen and others managed to not only create quantity - that is, a well-sized program - but also to bring in as much quality as they did. They have first-rate people here, and my job is to facilitate their productivit y, to acquire for them the resources and create a structure that enables them to reach their full potential." Soon, Brooks will "eagerly" begin meeting with fellow SAED faculty members. in order to develop a sense of fhe school's overall mission ... What is it that we would like to do collectively?" will be the primary question asked, he said. H t the same time , while plainly admiring his predecessor's skill in forging Unive rsity~community ties. Brooks clearly intends to put his own stamp on the school's development , including its role in the community. .. In no sense has anyone expected me to, nor would I want to attempt to exactly emulate the style or the program of any predecessor. I have a long history of involvement myself in community activi ties and I would .certainly hope to continue that here. And frankly one of the reasons I selected this school over some others where I had an opportunity to go, was the school's involve ment in local community affairs. I found this involvement ve ry attractive ... Brooks' Iowa community service included the chairmanship of an Ames citizens' group which tried to foster ci t izen involvement in formulating commu nit y goals . Additionally, his professional reports included neighborhood analyses for Fayetteville, orth Carolina, and Reidsville, orth Carolina. Brpoks reports that he wished to work in an urban environment more conducive to his urban planning research . .. , am an ur-ban pfanner and there aren't many 'urbans' in Iowa," he said ... And there are a number of faculty and students here who are interested in the so rts of urban policy problems that 1 have long been interested in I'm looking forward to doing cooperative research with othe rs here ... A "This is an -active and respected program." - MICHAEL BROOKS · As for the future. Brooks hopes to sharpen faculty research and all-round productivity. "I'm very impressed with th e level of research here, but there's always room for improvement. .. That is. there's a great deal of effective research that's being done, but we have some opportu nities that we haven't full y taken advantage of. So that (searching for new research opportunities) will be a major thrust of the school.. .. "The school is a very good one . I hope to help it become a nationally top-ranked program." Holding steady with the present program size and enrollment figures appears to be the official University policy, he said , a policy Brooks "is comfortable with." " What's needed now is a sense of consolidation, of maturation, of mak.ing sure that we have the resources and the structure to manifest real excellence." rooks ' understanding, at the time of this writing, is that SAED will B definitely move to the Amherst Campus. · .. My assumption is that we will be on this campus for another two years .... There are certainly a lot of advantages and disadvantages (to moving). The overwhelming advantage of moving to the Am hers~ Campus is the opportunity to interact more fully with other academic units of the campus. I think the isolation here would have been a serious problem for us ... In the intervening period , SAED will have additional facilities in Parker Hall to mitigate the severe space problem in Hayes ... The facilities are certainly aging and showing a lot of problems associated wit h aging. In terms of space, we will be reasonab ly well off this year with the provision of some additional space in Parker. If we had to rely solely on the space in Hayes, it would have been grossly inadequate." The Parker s pace , he said. "is substantial ,·· and includes '"a high bay area that is going to be used by our advanced build ing technology program, and thelt are seve ral st ud io spaces and classroom areas as weJI." Brooks is im pressed with the Uni~ vc.rsity as a 'whole, though he goodnaturedly pointed out that "a few bureaucratic frustrations" exis t within SUNY which are not present in the three-campus Iowa State University system. There each campus enjoys a high degree of autonomy, he says. Ad milling that he was initially put off by Buffalo's .. generally negative impre~sion nationall y,'' Brooks said he has found Buffalo .. a pleasant series of surprises, .. and possessing .. a great deaJ of charm.·· Born in Kansas and raised in the midv.'tst and Colorado, he now considers Denver home. He and his wife have purchased a home o n Buffalo's upper west side, and look forward to Buffalo's cultural advantages and those of the University .as a whole. A magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Colgate University, where he earned a B.A. degree in sociology, Brooks earned a master of city planning degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1961, and a Ph.D. in city and regional planning from the University of North Carolina in 1970. His doctoral disse rtat io n co ncerned "Social Policy in Cities: Toward a Theory of Urban Social Planning." Brooks is especially noted for his inte rest in minority ed ucat ion, social planning, public service. and the solution of urban ills generally. He is past president of the 20,000-member Amer- ican Planning Association, and also of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning. His monographs include The Dimensions of Poverty in North Carolina and Social Planning and City Planning, the latter a plamting advisory service report for the American Society of Planning Officials.

Nitroglycerin has been used for a cen t ury to treat angina pectoris. which occurs when the blood flow to the heart is restricted . The condi tion produces a state of oxygen starvation. forces the bean to work harder. and causes stabbing pains in the chest. Nitroglycerin - administered in either tablet or oin tment form - dilates the blood vessels and relieve pain. But with continued use. the patient requires increasingly larger doses of the drug to produce the desi red effect. This process the development of " tolerance" - is the subject of Fung's research. ..

Kunz., dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education. In addition, a new Academic Discipline Policy will be reviewed by the Faculty Senate. The changes deal with the grade of 'T' or incomplete. the grade of " " or audit, and the policy governing repetition of a course to improve the grade. The purpose of the changes is to T .. upgrade standardii and make students more accountable for their performance in courses," K unz said. nder the new policy, a grade of ··r· must be removed from a student's record within 15 months from the end · ofthesemeste.r in which he or she received the "I." Until then, both the "I" and a default grade, specified by the instructor when the student files for an incomplete, U appear on t student's records and transcript. If the student make up the incomplete, only the new grade will appear. If he does not complete the course requirements v.ithin the 15 months, the transcript will indicate rhedefauh grade as the ftnal grade. A default grade can be any grade from an ''A .. to an ··F ... though it generally would be a "C .. o lower, Kunz said. (A default grade could also be a "P .. or an .. F.. if the student is registered for a pass / fail grading option). Kunz pointed out that an .. . .. can be given only if the student is passing the course. But an .. F .. could be given as a default grade because grading is based not only on the quality of work involved, but also on the quantity, he said. To make it easier to keep track of the 15-month periods. applicable dates will be published each year, Kunz stated. For a course taken in the fall of 1984, an .. , .. must be removed by April I. 1986. Forspring. 1985, the date is Sept. I, 1986, and for summer 1985. the date is Dec I, 1986. Instructors may set shorter time limits in which students must complete the requirements. Students can'l graduate with an ''I" on their records. The policy on iocompletes is not retroactive and doesn' apply to transfer credit. The new policy on incompletes was established because there was a rise in the number of " I" grades given and it was deduced thai students were using the .. I .. as a way to avoid an ·•f, ... Kunz said. he"'N"gradewasanotherwaystudents were escaping "F's, .. he noted. An T instructor would give an .. N ... (no credit) rather than an "F ...

The " " will appear on the instructor's grac;l.:: collectnlli form and it will be impossible to substitute any other grade. '"The machinery just won't accept it," Kunz said. · These two changes are the most recent in a series, Kun z explained . Several years ago, a Stt;dent could resign from a course without academic penalty near the end of the semester. "Two weeks before finals they could get off the hook," Kunz said. ow, a student can resign from a course ouJy within the first eight weeks of the semester. (Resigning a course is different than dropping one, he explained . The add / drop period is two weeks into the semester. When a course is dropped-, it disappears from a student's record. When a student resigns , an .. R .. appears on his or her record.) ..-. The "X" grade was abolished a couple of years ago, Kunz said . It was used · for students who just disappeared from a course without official resignation. The formal consultation could result in suspension , expulsion. probation or any of the penalties allowed in the informal procedure, as well as sanctions deeme~ appropriate by tne adjudication com mtttee. The adjudication committee conducts the formal proceedings, Kunz explained, and wtll probably be made up of two students and two faculty members. he third major change in und~r­ A student is not allowed to be graduate grading is a new pohcy represented by an auorney, but may on repeating courses . ow, stud~nts be accompanied by the advisor of his may retake a course in which they choice.

T T Relations with Grad Faculty will top Senate agenda for 1984-85 By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ne of the first items on the agenda of the Faculty Senate this year will be a discussion of the relationship between the Senate and "'this rather nebulous structure called the Graduate Faculty." said Dennis Malone, chairman of the Senate. The Senate's Committee on Academic Planning will look into the relationship between the two and define the areas of authority of each, especially where the interests overlap. he explained . Another topic on the agenda will be a restatement of the academic discipline poficy - si mply put. the policy on students who cheat, he said . (See related story). Some slight modifications concerning the appeal process will be revie\\ed. Malone said. When that is complete. work on a faculty handbook can be finished. Malone expects the book to go to pr:ess this year. The issue of academic discipline. and especially the issue of the relationship of the Graduate Faculty to the Faculty Senate. are important because they relate to the basic structure of the University, Malone said. O he Senate also plaOs to follow up TNow some of last year's issues. that the University has a policy on teach ing evaluation and improvement. the Senate will make sure it's being acted upon. Under l_he policy. teaching must be evaluated and the chairmen of the departments are required to consult with individual faculty members about teaching. promotion. tenu re. and the goals of the department. Malone said. • He predicted that the establishment of a Faculty Club on the Amherst Campus to stimulate (•.v~J rit J(• c·o r1,.v among faculty will again be discussed. The Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee will take up the issue of how co mplaints against instructors should be handled . The question of parking on the Amherst Campus may also come up again , Malone sai d . Some facu lty members complain that with an office on one campus and classes on the other, they end up being late for class because they don't have a place to park . Admissions requirements, wh ich caused considerable debate in the spring. will be reviewed again. This is an ongoing activity of the Senate. Malone stated . anything of in terest to them, but the Senate should not think that it decides administration issues, " Malone said. Sometimes problems come befOre the Senate that aren't really in its jurisdiction, but the group often finds it can help, Malone indicated. "Except for academic issues, the Faculty Senate has no authority over anything," he noted, "but it has a great deal of influence." Among the major accomplishments of the past year, Malone lists a repon calling for more autonomy for SUNY. "It received a lot of favorable comment," Malone said. "It should have some effect on how SUNY and the State interact ." The Senate also made decisions concerning "incomplete" grades, audit grades, and retaking courses ~o imprO\'e grades (see related story). Malone, a professor of electrical and computer engineertni, has been at U B for about 20 years. He has served on the Faculty Senate's Executive Com· mince since about 1978. 0 ut even with the agenda mapped Maria Runfola will chair Music B out , Malone is s ure o ther issues will pop up. "' I will of course be surprised to find out about issues I didn't know about." he said. Looking back. at the first year of his two -yea r tenure as chairman of the Senate. Malone sa id he is very pleased with the relationship between administration and the Faculty Senate. " It's been excellent in every respect.'" he recalled . ··Adm inistration has been extremely supportive: of the Senate and sensitive to its interests and responsive:. ''That doesn't mean it necessarily says yes to everything we say. But it takes our suggestions seriously." This is not always lhe case at UB's sister institutions. he has discovered from auending SUNY-wide meetings. " I've heard tales that would curl your hair:· he said . Some faculty members here expect the administration to act on all of the Faculty Senate 's suggestions. Malone said . It must be remembered that while the Senate is the governing body for academic issues. it does not govern administration decisio ns. ..The faculty can discuss and debate aria Runfola, Ph.D ., a prominent music educator and UB faculty member since 1969, has been appointed chairman of the Depanment of MuSic for a three·year term effective September I.

NEH funds Christian's film on Cre·e.Iey iane Christian, poet, scholar, filmmaker and associate professor of English here, has recei""d a $145,000 grant from the National Endowment for th e Humanities (NEH) to make a film on the famed American poet and UB professor of English, Roben Creeley. The major portion of the award, $135,000 to be exact, will go toward mak.ing a one-hour film about Creeley, whom William Carlos Williams (18831963) praised for "The subtlest feeling for the measure that I encounter anywhere except in the verse of Ezra Pound." Christian believes this is the first time the NEH has funded a film about a living poet. The remaining S 10,000 will go toward pre-production work on three remaining films in a series planned by Christian and her husband, fellow filmmaker and U B English professor Bruce Jackson. The couple plan 10 discuss possible films with consultants from Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, and the Universi ty of Washington in Seattle. along with I he -distinguished American literary critic Leslie FiedJer. who is Samuel L. Clemens Professor of English al UB. Both Christian and Jackson will produce. direct and edil lhe Creeley film. Jackson will do the camera work; Christian will do the sound. The couple filmed Creeley al his Maine home earlier this summer, and in late July spent several days with the poet at the Naropa Institute in Boulder. Colorado. where Creeley was filmed lecturing and visiting with the American poel Edward Dorn, who has called Creeley "the master of immediate speech and this is the com pass of his written art. .. D t Naropa. Christian and Jackson also filmed an interview with Allen Ginsberg. who discussed Creeley·s place in modern Ameri&an letters. Said Christian: "We expect to film in Amsterdam in September: in Li!lc. France. in A October (where an elaborate musical stage presentation will be mounted using Bob's poems as lyrics); in Buffalo in November (a1 his UB seminar); in December in Washington, D.C .• where a session will be devoted to his work at a meeting of the Modern Language Association of America (Bob will give a read ingjust before this special session); and in Maine again in January. We11 edit the film during Ihe spring and if all goes well, it will appear on PBS sometime in the spring of 1986." Creeley continues to be highly regarded by many of Ieday's leading American poets, Christian points out. citing the words of Allen Ginsberg: "From the first clear grounded 1940s insight snapshots of For Love (a 1960 collection of Creeley poems written between 1950 and 1960) through his recent decade experiments with syllable by syllable inlelhgence, Roben Creeley has created a noble life body or poetry that extends the work. of his predecessors Pound, Williams, Zukofsky, and Olson and provides like them a method for his successors in exploring our new American poetic consciousness ... Poet Denise Levertov. another major voice in contemporary American letters, pu1 it this way: "The interplay between a complex mind and universal (ther-efore 'simple') emotiens is one of the factors which make Creeley's poetry perennially interesting. Another is that in over 30 years Of publication he has never sounded like anyone but himself - a rare achievement. and one which is possible only to an authentic voice. a voice constanlly discovering the exact words it has need for." Creeley studied at Harvard and is a graduate of Black Mountain College, the legendary North Carolina school where poets . dancers like Mcree Cunningham, composers such as John Cage . and artists like William de Kooning. converged and conferred. Cree ley later taught at Black~ountain and was editor of the Black Mountain Review, one of the first journals 10 publish the poetry and poetic theories of such major writers as Denise Levertov, Robert Duncan, and the late Charles Olson . All have had high praise for Creeley's art and imaginative powers. Wrote Duncan: "(Creeley) continues the art of the troubadours with its themes of love and trial. He loves the daily popular tunes, the ring of contemporary comage, flashes of wry and sardoriic humor, lbe lover's chagrin - for the sake of the human condition they are immediacies of, but it is a music of hea""n and hell he listens for in il all."

Spanogle, a UB Law School professor, made this observation on his recent return from China. where be spent three weeks lecturing at the Univenity of Beijing. Spanogle also noted in an interview that China appears to be overcoming a lag in legal education which, be said, has contributed to that nation ·s seeming inability to understand and accept the American system of ind:pendencc for its courts. It boils down to a question of sovet:eign rights. Invited by Cbin11's Ministry of Education to lecture at the University of Beijing, a national institution , Spanogle observed that China's failure to provide opportunities for legal education dunng rlS 10-year cultural revolution from 1967 to 1976 resulted in a ...lost generation" in the field of international law. It is this .. lost ameration," be noted, that finds itself unwil~ to deal with the United States through •f,S court system. Spanogle is no stranger to China. Last year, be spent three months lecturing at the Beijing CoUege of Econqmics under F an excbangefrogram involvihg the State University o New York (SUNY). That tour of duty set the stage for the invitation to return. However, the college and university are separate entities. As a FJICfal observer, Spanogle said lie dclccled a suoq desire on ibe part of the Chinese and their leaders to increase trade with the U.S., now that the door bas been opened via top-level governmental agreements. Chinese leaders, he added, cum:ntly recognize the need to acquire additional technological and management knowhow to pave the way for stepped-up trading with the U.S. and other nations, especially those of the Third World. Enter the problem of the U.S. court system vs. China's standard of sovereign rights. The 49-year-old Spanogle, a recognized expert in U.S. commercial law relating to international trade, said that Chinese leaders with whom he came in contact found it "difficll1t to understand" that courts in the U.S. act independently, without interference from the executive and legislative branches of government. Tbuo, the Chinese find themselves frustrated when governmental trade "'fCCCIICCIII run into legal ent.ansJements tbat cannot be solved by the U.S. eucuti-.e branch, Spanogle eJtplained. In contrast, be added, China's Central Party Committee controls "aU and everything.• £)lie obstacle to China's recognition ~ acceptance of the U.S. court system is its own concept of "soYereign immunity," Spanogle noted . The Chinese, be confinued, believe that courts of any other nation lack jurisdjction over the Chinese government as a foreign sovereign. Therefore, Spanogle related, the Chinese refuse to accept changes in so-.ereign immunity concepts adopted by the U.S. in 1976, changes that allow U.S. courts to consider cases involving a foreign government. Even though mo&l other nations throughout the world adopted similar 1a.ws prior to 1976, the UB law professor noted, the Chinese believe that "no sovereign should have to appear in the courts of another nation." "They just can\ understand why the President of the United States can't abrogate court judgments," Spanogle asserted. An international law consu.ltant to the U.S. State Department, Spanogle lectured in China on U.S. import laws and on a proposed United Nations treaty to govern mternational negotiable instruments such as checks and promissory notes. As a State Department consultant , Spanogle represents the U.S. in negotiations by the U. N. Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) in development of the proposed international monetary treaty. The Chinese, Spanogle observed, are keenly interested in importing " high tech~' products, including computers. At the same time, be added, they want to upgrade their own manufacturing techniques to produce the computers and other "high tech" equipment they need and, presumably, they hope to eJtport wbattbey don\ need. "They want to do it themselves," be emphasized, ·~d as soon as possible. That's why they're sending a lot of people to the United States to study." Spanogle also noted that China's legal system bas been refined in recent )"'&rs in the realm of settling domestic mdustrial disputes that could hamper international tradt: · "When an iron factory refuses to supply a steel plant." Spanogle observed, "production can be disrupted unless tile leP! system to solve such disputes is available." The days of settling such disputes by bureaucr11tic department managersare disappearing in China, Spanogle commented . Now, be added, such disputes are settled, for the most pan, under a new law that calls for mediation and arbitration on the basis of what a contract says. "l)rior to this setup , be continued, .£such d is putes could be settled as an administrative problem within a certain ministry; as a political pro blem; on a personal basis, or - as provided under China's new law - on legal principles. Another change on the Chinese economic front, as observed by Spanogle, relates to the nature of business ownership. Even though industries, as such, are government-owned and controlled, he observed~ ..non-government-owned ~otcr­ priscs are making some headway." Complicating, or perhaps freeing, China's non-mar.ket economy, in which the aoverrunent sets prices, are sucb Western civilization economic practices as joint ""ntures with foreign industries and recognition of holding companies that establish business ventures in China, Spanogle pointed out. In addiuon, he related, the government now recognizes such private ventures as repair shops, the sale of band-crafted furniture and other products, hauling by privately owned trucks, and such services as crop-dusting by privately owned airplanes. . ""Private ventures are making headway,·· Spanogle commented, further observing that taxpaying agricultural cooperatives have taken the place of agricultural communes during the past year. As viewed by Spanogle, the People's Republic of China is. indeed. a waking giant. 0 UB's M.B.A. program Jty MILT CARLIN appears in readiness for the tartup of a much-heralded graduate business management rogram being structured by the School of Management at a site halfway around the world from here. . The_School is setting up the progr11m m China under terms of an agreement signed April 29 by emissaries of the United States and Chinese governments. President Reagan was on band to witness the signing ceremony as be was concluding a six-<lay visit to the People's Repubbc of China, thereby enhancing the project's fanfare.

" We want to make sun: they can carry on a dialogue and not sit passively lecture after lecture." she said. "A very traditional Chintr.e way of instruction is much more passive.

A Chinese professor at Beijing Teachers' Collcge asked DesForges if he could get a couple of American recordings for him. No, he didn 't wawtthe latest Michael Jackson hit or even a curren t Top forty tune. The professor requested "The Great Waltz" and Nelson Eddy's "Rose Marie," DesForges s;ti!IJ .. He grew up in the '30s and '40s and ls very enamored of American music," DesForges explained, even though the professor has never been outside China. So Des Forge wrote to Milton Plesur, professor of history, to see what he could do. Plesur searched for several weeks and was having some trouble finding the music, so be in tum asked Robert J . Sikorski, general manaaer of WBFO, fnt belp. The radio station had the music and made a recording as a aift for tbe Chinese professor, DesForges said. He noted that the whole process took about a montti. "Mail to Beijing is very quick," he said. "It usually takes only lO days sometimes it takes only four days ... The request for old A.merican tunes shows that the Cninese arc interested in the humanities as well as science and technology, Des forges pointed ouL " It reflects the sincere interest of Chinese in all aspects of American culture - past and present," he said.

The scene · at the Bell, Baldy, and Hayes B drop( add sites on opening day (August 23) th1s yea_r would be familiar to a nyone who has wunessed the event in the past. Lines formed early and from the 10 a.m. opening time until about 3 p.m. tudents could expect a wait in a line ~fore getting their chance to attem pt to regiSter. F Junior.; and senior.; at Bell Hall expe· rie nctd two- to ttrre e~ hour lines untjlthe crowds dissipated in the late afternoon . The wait for freshmen and soph o mores at Baldy tended to be s horter, rarely exceeding lhe confines of the co rrid or leading to the entrance. On Main Street. lines extended well out into the field in front of the Hayes Annex. but there. too, the lines dwind led as the day progressed . The general attitude of th e students awaiting th ei r turn see med to be o ne of quiet resignation to the fact that -lines are part oft he UB experience. Some found it to be a great opportunity to meet a few new friends and see a few old ones. too._ Dr. Norma Reali. associate director of registration, feels that the stud ents have been very patient and cooperative with her and her staff. "'We·re all pleased with the auitude of the st udents which has helped to make the pro cess go quite smoothly this'scmes· ter." she said . Real i believes that she and her staff have developed an effective system and is happy with the res ults so far. The currrent se tup is not without its backups ho wever. so backups on the first day and then during the fir.;t few days of classes can be predicted . Apart from1hese times, students can expect a minimal wait. Course avai lability problems have somewhat d iminished th is time around, and Real i gives the credit 10 the academic departments lhat offer high-<lemand co urses. The waits that students experience during th is period could be decreased if more registrants would take advantage of opportunities to register by mail o r preregistrdtion. Reali sugg<sted. The drop / add process will continue at Bell and Baldy Hall si tes on the Amherst Campus and Hayes B on Main Street from II a .m. to 5 p.m. today and tomor· row.

Nicaraguans in villages and hamlets told a UB researcher who recently returned from the Central American country. Falguni Guharay, Ph.D., a research associate in UB's Department of Biophysical Sciences, was one of 17 Americans _invited to help distribute goods and materials donated by people across the U.S. to aid the people of Nicaragua. Some $750 ,000 worth of school, medical, and agriculture supplies were donated by Americans dering the "Tools for Peace" effort spearheaded nationally this spring by the non-profit relief organization OxFam America. Buffalonians alone donated 150 boxes of school supplies, 200 boxes of medical supplies, ca'J'entry equipment, $600, and a 9-hp outboard motor. A local hospital gave 26 surplus wheelchairs. 0 • ~)~~fo~r~~~~gfo~ Bu~f.J~t~~~::~~! to transport contributions to a Boston warehouse for sorting and paclcing. Local organizations instrumental in getting the donations were United Campus Ministries, Western New York Peace Center, Center for Justice , Maryknoll House, and the Latin American Handicraft Committee. The goods gathered nationwide arrived at the end of June in Nicaragua's Port Corinto harbor aboard an OxFam America-<:hartered ship. A few days later, Guharay and other invited Americans of the OxFam delegation arrived in Managua. At the airport, the Americans were met by representatives of FACS {Foundation of Augusto Caesar Sandino), which to the Honduras border, Guharay visited a child-care center which stood near a warehouse virtu'!)ly destroyed by Contras. Villagers told him they believed the center bad been the real target. S in ce the Nicaraguan Army is inadequate to continually protect every hamlet and village, most of which are connected by unpaved roads, the popular militia or "home guard" of cittzens is responsible for repelling Contra attacks in these areas. At Estelli, a town which was the site of severe fighting in 1979, there remain pockmarks of spent artillery shells in the buildings. Today, nearly every adult in Estelli routinely goes about armed - ready for future attacks to which their nearness of farmers, rural workers, women's to the Honduras border and its Contra camps subject them. Accompanied by members of the groups and others. During the next Nicaraguan includes nearly a dozen nonw governmental organizations composed women•s organization The Nicaraguan officials told Dr. Guharay that while there had been 2.4 million health consultations in 1974 prior to the Junta, in 1983 there were 6.4 million consultations. The government claims today that health is a right and not a privilege and that the responsibility of providing health care rests with mass organization of segments of society {such as the rural workers) and the government. Today; there is an emph.asis on preventive medicine through vaccination programs as well as a network of local clinics and regional hospitals. .. Before the current government came to power," says Dr. Guharay, ••there were several specialty hospitals in AMNLAE, Guharay visited Somoto, .c by Dr. Guharay appeared to be clean and bustling, attempting to provide care for aU. But he notes that mechanical there was evidence of destruction wrought by the Contras, supporters of the late dictator Anastasio Somoza who are said to be backed by the U.S. CIA. Somoza's government was over- thrown in 1979 by what the Nicaraguan people call a popular revolution spearheaded by FSLN {Sandinista National Liberation Front). Since then, according to Guharay, an estimated !58 health workers, many of them "Free homeland or die" is the rallying cry of the citizens whom Guharay met. Never before, they tell him, have they been free. Nicaragua's history, says the UB researcher, has been one or poverty for the majority with great wealth limited to a favored few. Through generations of rule by foreign powers or installed dictators , the Nicaraguans have never Catholic lay missionaries, have been before known the power of selfdetermination which they believe they killed by Contra at1acks, as have some 485 teachers in either regular or now have government. .. popular"' schools. Contras, the Nicaraguans told the Americans, have destroyed some S600 million in property, with schools and health centers the key targets. They are also bli"med for the closing of 138 schools and 645 "popular" schools for workin~ adults. "Each night, the televiston would broadcast film of the coffins and mourners of the dail9 viciims of the political war waged by !he (allegedly) CIA-backed Somoza supporters against the people, most of whom appear to support the current government," Guharay says.

Barrett set 14. all-time passing and total offense record s in 1983 while leading the Bulls to an 8-2 record, best since I he gridiron program was reinstated in 1977, and his departure would appear to end an era. Also gone in 1984 are All-American safety John Bernard, who led the nation in pass interceptions ( 12) last fall and two other ECAC All-Upstate New York players, center Eric Pedley and defensiYC end SteYC Armstrong. This list of the missing might lead the casual obserYCr to belieYC that 1984 will be a rebuilding year for the Bulls. Not so, says Dando, who points to 16 returning starters (nine on offense and seYCn on defense) as the basis for ~-i! prediction that "we could go tO- H But surely the absence of Barrett. a three ~year starter, will force UB to depart from its pass-oriented offense? " We11 throw as much as we always have, ... states Dando. "We have the same receivers, with more experience and depth, and we have Kenny Hyer." Ah, Ken Hyer, he's the key to Dando's optimism. senior who understudied Barrett for three seasons, and who passed for over 1.000 yards and nine touchdowns while Barrett was injured in 1982, Hyer is ready to direct the Bulls' anack. "Kenny (5-11, 185) doesn ' t have Marty's height , but he's quicker than Marty and more accurate, ... reports UB's eighth·year mentor. Hyer will have no lack of targets in Dando's pro-type offense. The most notable is All-American split end Chris D'Amico, who set UB season records with 56 catches for 929 yards and 10 TDs last' year and was ran Red 14th in receiving in NCAA Division A 5-10, 193-pound senior who will go across the middle and catch the ball, D'Amico has already tied the UB career record for touchdown receptions with 15. He needs 31 receptions and 225 yards to establish other career marks. Other top receivers are sophomore"' Oanker Rich Hadrych (6-2, 205), who caught 20 passes for 290 yar~..latt]all; A m. '~We could go 10-0' this .fall sophomore tight end Tom Frank (60, 195), who had II receptions for 142 yards in 1983 and a transfer from Temple, Mark Schmidt (6-1, 190), a junior nanker. Hadrych alternated with Frank at tight end in '83, but was moved outside because he has "height, speed and good hands," according to Dando. Joe Cassata (6-3, 175) and Jim Garies (5-9, 145) are outstanding freshmen who played in the Western New York High School All-Star Game at Rotary Field in August. he's jo[ned by junior Mike Heidrick (5- I0, 185), a top reserYC last fall. Junior Maurice Drewitt (5-11, 170) and so phomores SteYC Nappo (MI, 182) and Greg LaBarbera (MI. 170) all have experience in the secondary. "The defense will be strong," promises Dando . "We have good, tough kids on the line, the linebackers will be excellent, and the secondary proved last year that we can protect against the pass." ando offers one qualifier for his " 10.{)" prediction: "We must -stay free of injuries to the stal"ting units." Danda's chief concern will be in keeping Hyer healthy, although he has proved durable during his first three years at UB. Playing behind Hyer will be sophomore Todd Heidrick (5-10, 175) and freshman John Mings (5-11, 178) a'l-d Mike Catena (6-2, 210) . HeidriCk quarterbacked the junior varsity last fall , Mings has been a pleasant early practice surprise, and Catena is a strong· anned thrower with potential. "We can' afford to get Kenny hurt early," confirms Dando . "The young kids arc going to be good college quarterbacks, but they need experience.·· Assuming Hyer remains sound through a 10-game schedule, five at Rotary Field.

D T Returnees on the line are senior end Kim Frink (6-3, 235), senior tackles Dean Angelo (5-11, 220) and Mark Giacovelli (6.{), 230), and sophomore tackle Dave May (5-11 , 230), who made 67 tackles and four quartecback sacks in '83. · Senior Eugene Hatchett (6-2, 200) is a top candidate to replace Armstrong at end. where junior Jerry Grady (63, 215) and sophomore Dennis Kre~mien (6-2, 204) are in reserYC. The linebacking corps features senior Gerry Quinlivan (6-3, 220), who led the Bulls in tackles last fall with 79. Along with D'Amico, he is UB's best candidate for AU· American honors. Sophomore Mike Laipple (6-3, 217) is also a returning starter at linebacker, where junior Jim Stopa (MI. 200) and two transfers. junior Tony Dabrowski (5- 11 , 201) from the University of New Haven and junior Jim Perry (6-1, 200) from Hobart, are expected to fill holes left by graduation.

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 plan is an outgrowth of a new State law. effea ive January I , that eliminates mandatory retirement for most indivlduals at age 70. By implementing the law sooner. UB is tryi ng to honor th e spl rit of tt.e legislation. Wilkinson said. About six employees would have been forced to retire before the new law goes intO'effect . she said. Either th e individual or the department can reques t that the person stay on arter age 70. Wilkinson expects th at th e requests wilt be approved ro utinely. Not· covered under the new law arc high-salaried corpo rate executives. un iformed se rvices personnel and tenured P._rofessors. Wilkinson said it~s unclear whether the provisio ns on executive or T uniforn-iCd services affect anyone at tht! Univer'Sity. _ . In the case of tenured professors. a dcparunent may cite :,pecial circumstan ces in requesting an exccnsi on for an incHvidual. as it could before the new Ia\\' wa passed. Only th e department. not the .. individual. may request s·uch ~ an extension. bile empl oyees may now work after th eir 70th birthday, they may a lso retire much earlier. A recently enacted early retirement bill would provide incentives for doing just that - for 1984·85 o"ly. To be eligible. a person must be SS or older on the date or his or her retirement . Wilkinson explained . He or she must be in paid continuous service from June I. 1984 to May 31 , 1985. · . The decisi on to take early ret irement must be made between the date the bill is . signed by tbeGovernorand December of this yea r. Once the decision is made. it ca n\ be canceled. Wilkinson said . W T}le person must retire between June I and ~tembeT I of 1985. Unlltr the legislation. those subscrib- "Pending bill also allows early retirement for those· in TIAA, TRS" ing to the Teachers Ret irement System (TRS) would receive three additional years of service credit. (However. the credi t does not count toward retirement age; a 52-year-old. for example. ca nnot tack on the three years to bring him to the able to enter data into it. Currently, depanments can access student records through· OLGA (On-line Grading Analysis) to examine them. but cannot cjlange: or add to them. The University-also has availa ble - but not yet in place - an On-line: Grade Maintenance Program. which does allow changing grad.es from . remote: terminals. Martens sees the two-way communication linkage as the second wave of micro usage on campus . .. In one or two years, people will use micros as an approach to maintaining and updating central records." he commented . The C-omputer Science ~partment is interested in using micros to assign work to students and in having students I Urn their work in on the micros. Martens said . " This may seem a bit futuristic. but it is not all that far down the road for most departments," he stated . " We shoilidn' hesitate to state goals like that. because we shouldn' be surprised when what can' be done today can be done tomorrow. A lot of things come with tomorrow in computer work." Micro Support will )llork closely with the va rious computer users groups like UBMUG (UB Micro Users Group) and HUG ( Heath Users Group). A directory of members of U BM UG ~ and their hardware ~ is available from Computing Services. ..The whole: aim of our activit p and efforts to esta blish communicatidn links a nd new systems will be esse ntially to make micros as versa tile and exciting as possible," Martens said.

The annuity Would be worth 45 percent of the salary the person is making on Ma y 31 . 1985. Wilkinson sajd . Abom 300 B employees may be eligible for early relirement. 'with many fewer expected to opt for the program. Wilkin· son said . Last year, about 130 took advantage of an early retirement program offered th r~ugh the 'ew York State Employee Retirement System (E RS ). Wilkinso n said she is thrilled to see these deve'lopments in retirement programs. People won' have to retire if they wish to work .

The terms of the Carnegie grant th at funded the program stated that all living poets published by the major companies must be collected . In her opinion, that led to the collecting of some junk, too. But she found her work at Lockwood Library as interesting and stililulating as she had been promised it would be. By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he woman who helped stan the University's Poetry Collection has -· mixed memories about he.r fouryear tenure here in the 1940s. The weather was wicked; the faculty, snobbish- but her work was stimulating; Mary Barnard recalls in her recently published autobiography, Assault on Mount Helicon - A. Literary Memoir. Barnard was the flfSt curator of the PoettyColkctionatthe Lockwood M"emorial Library of the-then private University of Buffalo. She was offered the job during the summer of 1939 and, not even knowing what her duties would be, accepted it because she needed work. It paid a meager salary, but she was promised she would have shon hours and plenty of time to do her own wor.k. But the war and a brutal winter bined to make her memories of less than rosy. ~After those first • three weeks of August, all the d~velopments of my life in Buffalo took place against a background of war, .. Damar~ wrote. uThere was t,Jie war, and there was the weather. If the weather predominates over tbe war in my letters, that is because my parents were reading the same news dispatches I was reading. There was nothing I could tell them about the war, but! had plenty to say about the weather. T OQ April 15, 1942, she wrote that the area had received five inches of snow on the previous Friday and more on Saturday. "The other night the paper had an anicle on the weather in 15 of the large cities of the nation, and the statistics are as sad as my wholly emotional view of the subject,'" she said .... Buffalo has the lowest average temperature - 47 degrees l believe it was. Ties with New York City for the highest wind velocity - Chicago coming fifth. Has the highest humidity of any, and only Seattle ranks lower on amount of sunshine. We get 50 per cent and Seattle .something like 47 per cent." But Barnard didn't need the statistics to tell her about Buffalo's weather. She herself noted how melting snow would puddle on sidewalks and refreeze at night so that the whole area seemed covered with ice. ~crutches, slings and plaster casts abounded on campus," she remembered. ~During the frequent blizzards, pedestrians clung to ropes stretched on downtown streets. The combination of ice and wind made it almost impossible to stand · up, let alone proceed, without the assistance of the ropes. Doors on the windward -side of public buildings were kept locked when the wind rose, because once opened they could not be closed again. Weather repons invariably referred to a wind 11 Author helPEd gather the first manuscripts for a Unique, 'unscholarly' I collectionII of poetry clocked at60 miles an hour(a 'gale'on the Pacific Coast) as a 'fresh wind'.~ Barnard wasn't prepared for the bad winter, and was even more surprised bY the natives' reaction to their weather. ·• n her work at the University, she gathered .items {or the Poetry Collection, tbe first archive of its kind. What made it different was the fact that it contilined I>Qoks, manuscripts and letters of modem poets - many of them still living. The collection was also the first to solicit working manuscripts that showed the process of composition. The English scoffed at the idea of collecting working manus~ripts - items that would normally go into the trash. The idea of Jhe collection being set in a city with the ~ barbarous" name of Buffalo made it all the more absurd to them. Even American professors, including some at the University. thought it unscholarly to collect the papers ofliving writers. she-noted. But the collection proved to be a money-saving venture. She had paid $50 "0 ne oft he things that struck me as especially odd about Buffalo was the fact that Buffalonians were actually proud of having the worst weather in the United States. lu fact, I finally carne to ·_ the conclusion that it was the only thing they were proud of, except the fact that McKinley Was shot there," Barnard wrote. . She didn't like the summers, either. She found them to be too shan. The warm weather was humid and the sunny weather decidedly cool, she said. Then there was the transponation system. It was not like the subway system she had been used to during her stay in New York City. Barnard complained of having to wait 20 to 30 minutes for "an 'Books ancient, virtually unheated street car." She noted that those who were lucky enough to afford cars had to earry shovels in them because they were snowed in. by the time the driver returned. The University of Barnard's time was very different from the State University at Buffalo that exists today. There were about 3,000 students then, many of them in the University's law and medical schools, she said. Most Jivecf at home while others took rented rooms since there were no dormitories. Barnard herself rented a tiny apanment built into the back o.f a bouse on Winspear Avenue. The cost was $6 a week.

Under terms of the grant, which UB received last fall, 30 Buffalo public school teachen of grades seven through 12, are receiving special training from UB . faculty memben Dr. Robert Daly, associate professor of English, and Dr. Ruth Meyerowiu of the American dies Department. The program is a long m one and began wtth this summer's s1 week institute. Daly and Meyerowitz have planned "rigorously practical" courvs, foc:using on many classic American work of literature and American history long studied in US classrooms. The idea, explained Faculty of Ans and Letters Dean James H. Bunn, who wrote the final grant proposal and is seminar director, is to help teachen develop new teaching strategies and to acquaint them with the latest scholanhip · n their fields. During this summer's opening seminar, Bunn is conducting weekly sessions on topics associated with aeneral education; these are attended by all 30 participants. Bunn's July 13 address, for instance. focused on the precarious position of the humanities throughout American history, as they bave encountered the sheer power and force of a competina tecbnoloiY. Dis· cuuina the program in a recent interview. Bunn stated, "This is an ambitious effort in which the same teachen and professon will work toaether rqularly over two full yean. To my mind, there is no better commitment to the idea of cementing relationt between school and colleaethan by a practical plan that actually puts people lOJCther tn the same teaching and plann•na ·spaces over an extended period." At the July 13 snsion at Buffalo State Colfeae 'IL..earnina Laboratory, wbere all seminar sessions are beina held, President Sample praised participants for their dedication. He also said the prol'atll is a welcome step in healinathe rift b e t - oecondary ochools and univenitia and coUeaes. "Such proanms." be added, "will belp realize our aoal of better servina our mutual client, the lludeot. ~ Deputy Buffalo Schools Superinterwknt Claude Clapp, substitutina for Superintendeot Euaene Reville, said the school system is "tremendously appreciative" of tbe Univenity'l effort and that of seminar participants, all of whom are puttina in many houn a week in c:lassroom work. preparation of papen and reports, and er.tcnsive readina assi&nrMnts. T During the opening session. several teachen talked frankly about th.e prob· !ems of teaching in the Buffalo public schools. They cited as problems lack of cultural enrichment at home, the pres· encc of large nu.m bcrs of students in the city's academic high schools who are only "certificated"(i.e.,they failed to graduate from the eighth grade). poor vocational direction in general, and little student appreciation - according to at least some of the teachers - in cultivating the mind for it own sake. ore recently, followina seminars attended by this reporter, a few teachcn voiced skepticism that the program can really belp them in the classroom, even as they relish the spirited discussions and intellectual riaor of their professon. One teacher said her Sludents often can' deflfte the parts of speech, and, in one recent instance, fiad no idea what D-Day was. But, u Daly and Meyerowiu made c:lear in interview. Jut fall, the NEH seminar is not intended merely u intelleclual reinforcement for teaihen. For throughout 1984-SS, he and Meyerowitz will, on a weekly basis, go into the city ochools and help teachen implement many of the teachina strategies developed the previous summer. The idea is to help teachers eventually "teach other teachen," throuah a systematic prOifBIII already deviled, the two explained. "We hope to set up a kind of aeometric proaression, 10 that these ideas aet out to a larae number of peo_ple in a compara· tively small ICOJraphK: area," said Daly. The vant will also fund a similar insti· tute in the summer of 198S. Irrespective of future EH fundina, however. UB's Faculty of Arts and l..euen will continue the inSiitutes throuah the ummer of 1987, a fact which impressed the EH. M aid Bunn.

From paf/812 as a major act<lr in an illegal or immoral political action. Min no past case was a . President directly involved in a substantive level (in S<:&Ddalous activities)," Yearley explained. MUsually, it was his subordinates and the men around the President who were causing and getting into all the trouble." As part of a Congressional Impeachment Inquiry Staff effort investigating accusatlons of high crimes and misdemeanors against past presidents, Ellis was enlisted by Counsel John Doar to research situations analogous to Watergate during the terms of John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren. Noting that the history oft he Presidency is peppered with instances of political skullduggery, -Ellis concurred with Yearley's evaluation that ~atergate is unique due to Nixon's verifiable and integral role in the ~xecution of the break-in and cover-up. IQ the published version oft he inquiry report, which he and other pro~incnt historians authored, Ellis pointed to the introduction to underscore the historical significance of Nixon's involvement. "Heretofore, no President has been proved to be the chief coordinator of the crime or misdemeanor charged against his own administration,'" argucs C. Vann Woodward, a Yale University professor and director of the study in its introduction. "Heretofore, no President has been accused of extensively subverting and secretly using established government agencies to defame or discredit political opponents andcritics, to obstruct justice, to conceal misconduct and protect criminals, or deprive citizens of their rights and liberties." In addition to the questions Watergate raised concerning. Richard Nixon personally, Ellis added that the scandal illuminated certain Constitutional .. gray" . areas which then needed , and basically still need , de~njtion. For instance, Ellis said, the "concept of what executive privilege entailed" was called into question by Nixon's initial refusal to release the Oval Office secret tapes. But perhaps more concretely, W.atergate spotlighted the No other President was as intimately involved in skullduggery ' " vagueness., of the Constitution's impeachment clause. "(During Watergate) people got the idea how cumbersome the actual proceedings are, .. he said. ''And there was always the question of whether Nixon really did anything that was a truly indictable offense." Still. Nixon ·s ultimate resignation on August 9. 1974. Ellis predicted, may actually help clarify the impeachment quandry by providing an acceptable course of action for terminally unpopular Presidents. Lilr.ening Nixon's resignation to the fall of a Parliamentary government, Ellis said it "may be the way of handling things in the future. "Overall, though, he conceded, the Watergate trials, compounded by Gerald Ford's pardoning of Nixon, have done little to solve the Constitutional holes the scandal originally uncovered . " Beyond the changed attitudes some public officials . bave,,.. he explained, .. Watergate still has unclear implications for many crucial Constit utional issues."' However, Ycarley noted, Watergate and the Nixon resignation did help check the burgeoning power of the executive branch. "The power of the modern presidency was out of balance (with the legislative and judicial branches) by Nixon •s day," he said . " After Watergate it has gone back to the situation where the P res- • see-., ogoin, _ , , Student Employment Service simplifies the student job hunt .J • •1 CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO aybe you work in one. of those departments that was lucky enough to have extra temp service funds in this year's budJd.

And you'd give dollars to doughnuts that most of the application forms you're forced to wade through will be filled out by people who aren' qualified for the job. Never fear! The Student Employment Program is here. M The program is a referral service that teams up U B students with job openings, said Luis A. Marino. program director. "We simplify their hiring," he said of the departments who usc the service . .. We serve as a central point and provide a university-wide pool of students. We can eliminate the traffic in their departments - we refer only students who qualify." , The Student Employment Program categorizes students• resumes and will refer students with the qualifications employers request. Labs, for example, miaht want junior biology ltudents and administrative offices miaht want typists. Pay and hours are decided by the department and the student. The student is paid by the department that hires him or her. The proaram office, located in room 6 of Hayes C, is open from I to S p.m. Monday throuah Friday, year-round. For more information. call 831-3518. The pro1ram was be&un by Andrea Ziqler in March 1983, as a six-month pilot project. "I think it worked much better than anyone expected," Marino said. Mit will remain a permanent proaram. • Funded throuah Sub-Board, the proaram works closely with the Career PlanniDI Ofrocc (EJ. Martell is director of Career Plannina).

That's aood news for students who want somethina to put on a resume. "Experience is what employers are loolr.ina for," Marino said. "Good arades are not enouah to get you by. • Some companies that have taken advantaae of the proaram are Hiross Inc., IBM, General Moton. Chevrolet and Harrison Radiator. Gold Cin:le. Sean and stores at Boplevard Mall and Northtown Plaza also use the pro1ram. Hotels such as the Marriott and Hyatt participate, as well as fast food places lilr.e Burger Kina. McDonald's and Wendy's. The service is free to students. All they have to do is show an I.D. card to prove they attend U B. The service i• also free to employen. The student is interviewed at the employer's convenience and a student can be dismissed if his or her work is not satisfKtory. While the service can refer students. it does not RCOIIImend one applicant over another. Marino advises employen to ask students for references.

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 fall, the station will he part of a new internship project set up by the Unil(trsity's Minority Academic Achievement Program (MAAP). WBFO has also received two awards from the Associated Press and has been granted a seven-~ license renewal T he purpose oftht MAAP intern program is to recruit and retain talented minority students, aaid Dr. Robert L. Palmer, associate vice president for academic affairs. "We're very excited about liviD& it a try," said Robert J . Sikorski, general manaaer of WBFO. Thellildenu will work in three areas at WBFO: news, programmiqend technical aspects. The responsibiliti~ of the news intern · ·~. production, may include cop editiq, coveraae, repo !'¥• series and documentary work, intervi amrounoiq, and remote activity. The programmina intern will act as an assistant to the program director. Activi) ties miaht include control room operations, production training, continuity, T remote procedures, announcina preparation, production of live and taped programmiq and scheduled broadcast operations. Assignments for the technical intern may include equipment repair and maintenance, Federal Communications Commission compliance, remote broad· cast preparation and execution, and sound nuxina and recordiq. . "It's not like the typical internship," Sikorski said. One difference is that the MAAP internships will last a year rather than just one semester. Sikorski hopes that with that extra time the students will be able to tackle specialized projects. Another plus is that the students in MAAP will be freshmen, not third- or fourth-year students. That gives them another three years to use their knowbow at the station if they choose. wwc"ve had seniors •• intemJ, but as soon as they've got the hang of it, they're leaviqg," Sikorski said. Another difference is that the students in MAAP"will be paid rather than receive course credit for the internships. The students will receive a $200 stipend for books each semester and will be paid $4.50 an hour for 10 or 20 hours of work a week. Verdia Jenkins, coordinator of the program, oaid she tries to match students with work related to their academic interests or to an outside interest. Other departments where the 25 students in the program may have jobs are Computing · Services, Architecture, Library School, the Educational Opportunity Program, Special Scrl-ices, Social Sciences and administrative offices. The program is stilllookina for other departments in which to place students. MAAP is similar to the University Honors Program, but does not compete with it, Palmer said. MAAP is geared to bright minority students who do not qualify for the other program. "These students are all talented and very bright," Jenkins said. "They've won awards and certificates for volunteerism and will be bringina a lbt to their internships." he WBFO interns wi!l be joinina an award-winnina station. WBFO has recei ved a first-place award and an honorable mention from the Associated Press in a statewide competition. "The 7 P .M. Report, "a half-hour news digest. won first place for best newscast for a licensed college or university station. The award is the fifth first-place prize the station bas won in three years, T Sikorski said. The honorable mention went to Pat Brogan, a volunteer staff member at the station. He received the award in the public affairs documentary category for a series he produced on child abuse. The awards will be presented in Stptember. · · Sikorski said he is especially proud of the awards because "the competJtion was quite stiff" from universities like Syracuse and Columbia. He points to tbe awards as one more indication that WBFO is doina a good job. be station?' license wu renewed in June by the Federal CommunicaT tions Commission. "I donl consider the license renewal Dtws•,"' Sikonki said. "'The station has been doina a good job. We've been operating 25 years, so this is our eighth or ninth renewal." He said a local newspaper story gave the impression that a group might file a petition agai~t the station, but none was flied . The seven-year license will be good until June, 1991. The FCC is routinely granting licenses for seven years. Previ ously, licenses were granted for three years, Sikorski said. 0 6 HIDI designated an advanced technology center, wiD move to Parker be Healt!H:are lllltrWDent aDd Device Institute (HIDI) bas " - delipated a Center for Advuced TeclmoloiJ (CA1) aad ilabout to iato iu per~~~a~~ent quarten at 139 Parter Hall . . funds have beta available to HIDI, 10, based Oil stYaaJ small COGtradl, the Stete Ulliwnity of New Yort ll-.dl · FoiiDdalioo bas a4vUced ebont 530,000 to keep HIDI10._ until the COiltracl is aiped.

According to a recent study conducted by UB dental rcsearcbers, patients who play video games or watch comedy programs while in the dental chair can succcssfuUy reduce their anxiety levels. And reducing anxiety also has been shown to reduce perception of pain, according to Drs. Norman L. Corab, Sait K. Seyrek and Lawrence F. Pace. Presenting their findings in the March issueoftheJoUT1141oftlre A.m~rican Dmta/ A.ssociDtion, the UB. researchers say that both the video games and the comedy programs provide the distraction and relaxation necessary to reduce the patient anxiety during trcatme~. Less effective, they found, were listening only to an audio portion of a comedy speqal, listcnin11 to recorded music or having n distractions whatsoever: The study, conducted at UB's Dental Clinics, involved 80 coUqc-agcd adults40 male, 40 female- who required at least two Class ./ II amalgam restorations (fillings). Prior to treat.mCnt, each patient was rated for dental anxiety and fearfulness of the dental experience on the Corab Dental Anxiety Scale developed by the UB researcher several years qo. At the first dental visit, electrodermal ~pooscs or changes in skin resistance were obtained using painless electrodes attached to the patient's hand. These results provided a baseline qaiost which anxiety exhibited in future visits would be compared. . Attbe start of tbe oecood dental visit, the 80 patients were divided into four groups: one played video ping-pong dur- D ""ltftfl~?tl' . ~'l'lttf n?J "Dental visitS run smoother when natien~ aren't fearful ~ I • ing treatment; the second watched and listened to a comedy program; the third listening to the audio portion of a program featuring weU-known comedians; and the fourth received no distraction or relaxation aids. · OveraU results of the study conducted at the UB Dental Clinics show that videogame participation and watching and listening to tbe comedy program were nearly equal in reducing dental anxiety levels amona patients. But while tbe video-comedy group reported oisnificaotly lower discomfort ratings on the game or watched and listened to the comedy "program reported they felt the technique they used to be "more effective" than those who listened only to the audio comedy presentation. All three techniques were rated higher than scores given by those in the control group who received no distraction aids. While the video-game participants scored somewhat higher than the other groups for reduced dental anxiety, Dr. Corab, a pioneer in assessing patient fear second dental visit, only the video-game group did not display a significantly increased. pain raung. Measures were taken of the patient's response to injection of the anesthesia, to the f~rst two minutes of high-speed drilling, and to the first two minutes of placing and carving the amalgam (ftlling). oil owing completion of their F dental treatment, patients in three aroups were asked to rate the effectiveneas of the expel'imental techniques. Those who played the video- and stress, said that cost must also be considered by the indi~dual dentist. "But if the dentist considers that less time wiU be wasted and procedures will proceed smoothly if the patient is not anxious and fearful during treatment, then the initial expcllSC! of purchasing a videcrgame apparatus or a video screen and supply of comedy tapes may well pay for itself an a sbon pcnod of time," he points out. The study was fananccd partiaUy by funding from tbe National Institute for Dental Research: .

By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS ne speaker said it was the fou{th retirement party he'd attended for Charles Fogel in as many different years and speculated, "Maybe he's serious this time." His colleagues don't think so. While the 71-year-old Fogel, who has served in a number of important University-wide and engineering administrative and faculty posts since 1941, has officially retired, he11 soon be visiting fellow faculty members in engineering to do research for a history of tl"\._e School and begin working on- various projects as a consu}\ant for the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences. 0 1 a reception in his honor held Saturday afternoon at the Center for Tomorrow, Fogel was cited as being on the faculty longer than any other per>on. • Almost all the major ~vents in the Univer>ity for the past quarter of a oentury have been associated in some way with Charlie Fogel," Robert Ketter, professor of civil engineering and past president of the .Unive,..jty, &aid . "He always seemed to be at the pArticular point where tliings happened. • Foaet has been with the Unive,..ity for almost entire life. He received bache· lor's and aster\ degrees in physics from the Unive ity of Buffalo in the late 1930's, later pu...uina graduate work in physics and engineering at Ohio State and Columbia unive,..itics. He was an instructor of physics at UB, serving as 1upcrvisor of physics instruction in its wartrainingproaram,from 1942to 1944, leavin&that ywto do industrial ff:Search for the National Union Radio Corpora· tion in Newark, N.J . At National Union, be worked with Dr. L. Grant Hector, who had been head of the u B Physics Department, and Dr. Ellis R. Ott, who later returned to U B as assistant dean of Millard Fillmore College and professor of mathematics. A 1i . graduate students have greatly increased . "Charlie has always had a willingness to serve, and has always kept U8 fi,..t and foremost ." Ketter added . . Fogel himself commented that the secret to his success has been his smile. .. I got anything I wanted with it," he said. "You've got to treat people the way they want to be treated, and that holds true from the top to the bottom. "I'm very proud to have been associated with the Unive,..ity and the Faculty of Engineering," he added. "and with all the people in the Univer>ity. The staff has been tremendous, not only most cooperative but helpful and solicitous. In particular, I'd like to commood Dean George Lee, who has aiven out tanding lcade,..hip to the school. • At the reception, Dean Lee announced that Fogel has been named professor emeritus in civil enaincerina. Carl Chang, reprtsenting the Erie-Niagara Chapter of the N. Y.S. Society of.Professlonal Engi· nee .... presented Fogel with a bound volume of the first issues nf • F,noinN•ri••• Progress," a magazine published by the chapter and for which he and Fogel serve as executive editors. Kim Downing, president of the Engineering Alumni Associ a· tion, gave Fogel the first honorary lifetime membership in the group. For the past two yean, Fogel has served on· the 17-member international board of director> of Rotary lntcrna· tional, a term which has meant a great deal of travel for him and hi$ wife, Bcr· nice. who is as well known as her husband in the Unive,..ity, accompanying him to its functions and beins very active in the Women's Club. Foael noted that he and Bernice celebrated their 37th wcddin1 anniversary on July 4. a day he jokingly refe,.. to as his "Loss of lndef>Cndcnoe" Day. The two wtll remain in Buffalo and continue to be active in volunteer and Univenity activities. Now th at he is pffi. cially retired and no longer on the U nivem ty payroll, the energetic Fogel said he will be hanging a sign in his window which states, "Man Available." 0 fAt li(IJ WeU· wWw!r• ..-Cheri.. =~ In an interview, FoJlel remarked that tbc switch from phy lCI to cngiM:Crin& was easy in those days. '"At NationaJ Union, which was a Philco subsidiary, I did research on vacuum tubes. Thouah J wu a pbysjcist, I worked with engineen and was hired as an enJineer, .. he remembered . .. When I came back to the University, I was interviewed by both the Physics Department and the Engincerina School - ·Paul Mohn was dean then, and John Beane was on the faculty . I felt my value was greater to enaineering. I taught electrical engincerina fint. then applied mechanics and then ,~ he added, lauahina, "everythin& else. • Fogel added in a rather offhand manner that durin& his tenure at UB he hu been •in and out of administration," thouah the list of administralive posts he has held is lenathY: assistant dean of enainccrin,: head oft he Division of General and Technical Studies in enainccrina; actina dean of Jraduate and professional education; assiuant to the prcaideut for educational affairs; uaist· ant uccutiw vice prcaideftt, and direclor of the Olf~ct orUnlwnity and lndllllrial Relations. a post he has held in the l%0's and 1980's. "Few in the Univeniry have done more,~ Ketter com.-nted, noting the expansion the School of Enginccrina hu undcraone since Foael joined the faculty after the war. Tbc "veterans bulae" greatly expanded the number of stucknt . enginee.n in the late 1950'1; ironlcally, Ketter pointed out, the number or under· Jraduate students has not chatlp greatly since then, thouah faculty and tlole .tiM ~- (At,.,.

The Gaze/1~ was reporting on findings presented at a seminar on dolphin research conducted by scientistS from Arvin/ Calspan and Roswell Park and attended by researchers from both those facilities, from UB, and from Sweden and Annapolis, Md. Gary Bums in the Gaze/1~ gave this report of a presentation l>YArvin/ Calspan D scientist Robert E. Baier, a UB research associate: Baier said research at the Aquarium has shown that the qutermost layers of a dolphin's •kin are similar to skin on the inside of a human's cheek. He said both surfoces resist accumulation of unwanted deposits, similar ·to properties inside living blond vessels and essential to tbe success of man-made hearts which must not clot when in contact with flowing blood. Studies are continuing with dolphins and killer whales with the goal of designing synthetic materials for uses such as clot-free artificial organs, poison-free ship bottom paints, coastal pipelines and plaque-free dentures, he s11d. The Gazette report continued: Research began when scientists questioned why tbe surface of dolphins remains sleek when nearly everything else in the ocean accumulates a thick crust of plaque. Because most fish shed their outer skin rapidly, they do not accumulate debris. That is not the case with dolphins, Baier ~aid . "'Oose examination showed us that livinf cells right at the surface of the dolphin skm produce a layer of pure protein - a 'goo ' that allows the smooth flow of water over the .surface without materials adhering to it," be said. "That was an amazing discovery to make. There is something very special about the surface of these animals." While hum an el<terior skin does not have the same property, the inside surface of human cheeks is "very, very similar" to the ski n of dolphins. . "We get that foul ing, that plaque on our teeth, but not on the instde of our mouths," Baier said. "How often do you have to brush the inside of yo ur che<k?" If a material with properties similar to the substance on the skin of dolphins could be prnduced for widespread use, the Gaztlle reported Baier as saying, it would be a si mple matter to apply u to the inner sij&face of products such as the anificial heart. 0 Food stamp program doesn't necessarily mean better nutrition instituted in 1964, it wu ~lieved that By MARY BETH SPINA the poor could be better fed by a program which operated within regular charmels istributing fond ratlier than of trade," Dr. Manhall explained .

Two Berkeley research teoms workina independently but usina. the same detector - electron counten - reported no evidence Of IDOaWODI (Phym.J /lniLw Lettm, February lnd March, 1984)'. A Germon aroup 111inJ plutic reported more neptive. results in on April, 1984 issue of the Letter•. As suddenly lnd surprisinaJy u they bad appeared, these puzzling subatomic UFO's now seemed to have vaniJbed. Overwhelming negative results produced by the worldrenowned Berkeley lab threatened to bury the anomalon effect u a subject of serious $ludy. But Jain remained confident. uMy previous work led ·me to believe that anomalons are much more likely to be observed within a very short distance from the high-energy, heavy-iori collision July 1984 Summer No.2 when the charge of tbe projectile fraamcnt is large. Tbe other investipton didn' deuct onomaloDJ because they looked in the wrona place. Tbey used the wrona tools," he commented. Ouc of the advontagcs ·of his nuclear emulsion technique, says Jain, is that it allows the investiaator to observe each collision from the point of impact where the primary collisaon takes place to the point oC secondary collision. A record of both collisioDJ ond the path !ravened between them is left in the emulsion sheet - like footprints in sond - which con then be studied under powerful lligbresolution microscopes to sizes u small as I to 2 microns. In contrast to electronic deucton, which are limited to registering agaregates of nuclear events, the emulsion technique provides a visual record of every individual collision. Measuring these tracks under a microscope is a very tedious but highly reliable technique. Jain recently completed topological studies of 2,100 separate primary interactions and 800 secondary interactions produced by a krypton beam at I.S GeV per nuc)eon. His report in the leading physics journal, Phy1iaJ/ ReviLw Lettul, June 18, 1984, shows that the onomalous projectile fraarnents travel far less thon 600 micron~ (a little more thon half a millimeter) before they interact with a second nucleus ond fraament again. Indeed, mony of the tracks fall within SO microns of the initial target collision. Tracks of charge leu thon 7 lnd of lenath shorter thon 600 micron~ connot be accurately detected by the plastic ond electron counter techniques. These detecton are further limited, says Jain. They yield no useful information about the target collisions, the nuclear reaction that he believes is the key to the unexplainable behavior of the anomalous fragments. Additionally, the plastic and electronic counters connot detect small changes in charge between the accelerated nucleus and the resultant fragment. Important clues about the existence and nature of nuclear constitu· ents are gleaned from the inventories of energy and charge before and after a nuclear reaction. The laws of energy con· servation dictate they must balance. In short, the detectors used by the Ber- keley teams guaranteed nqative results, Jain concludes. Their ftndinp came perilously close to buryina the onomalon effect u an object worthy offurtbeT study. Jain's work revived the entire line of research u weU as demonstrated a technique that con now be used by other investigators to produce more fruitful results. hat's next? "Probably the mnst exa11111 stageofresearchyet,"answenJain. Having established where and bow to look for the anomalon effect, investigaton con now begin to identify its special characteristics and outline the influence its discovery will exert not only on the physicist's understanding of the four cardinal forces of nature, but on the more familiar concrete world of earth, air lnd water the rest of us inhabit. " It is my hope that our results will help other experimentalists fiod and study anomalons as weU as aid the theoreticians who are seeking answers to fundamental questions about the nature of our universe, ..

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

But it seems this kind of activity is better no1iced if presented in a personal way. " He spends eight hours or more each weekday on the ~fai n Street Campus, either teaching or advertising for persons interested in learning the an of Kung Fu. In addition, he gives martial arts instruc;tion at a private locatjon. While reluctant to lalk of family and j>Crsonallife, he discusses his work readIly and with feeling. For the past six years he has looked to the University community for business, mainly-because he was a UB student himself. He graduated in 1976 with a degree in physical education, and took adult classes as recently as last year. "I worked from here because I was a student and also because people have been receptive to what rm doing, ... he ex plains. For the convenience of his pupils, Lee teaches on-eampus between classes or during other free time. "I keep my schedule flexible. • His day is coordinated around the Maio Street Campus with only a rare visit to Amherst. "That's because you need one particular base, .... he says. Although students are his primary target, he stresses Kung Fu's value for anyone at the University or the community induding professors and administraton. ...There are people who are naturally mean and dangerous, the criminal element in society. For someone who is not this way, self-defense is essential," he notes. These, in fact, were the reasons which led him to begin brandishing his own palms 15 years ago. After training for nine years under Chinese instructors in Buffalo and Toronto, Lee was asked to teach by UB students who saw him practice. In 1978, be gave his first class. "It was a logical jump. After you know what you're doing. you can concentrate and analyze the steps in which you do it. Then you~re able to teach." His goal is to ""reach as many as possible with the benefits of practicing the art ... Kung Fu is a combination of mental concentralion and physical dexterity, originaling in China. The style of Kung Fu mo.. commonly taught is beneficial to good heallh as well as self-defense. he says. Related to Chinese medicine, many of lhe motions and techniques an: designed to physically benefit the person performing them. Problems in achieving his objecti'"' of spreading the principles of the an stem from stereotypical imqes. "Some people feel that a penon who knows how to fight is automatically dangerous toew:ryone, "he laments. "Theyn afraid to approach me. "They should re&lize if they mean me no ill will. they have no reason to fear IDe.

Their preunt a t io n . reponed in a wire sto ry by UPI 's Patricia McCormack. revealed that while today·s fifth and ninth graders know less about space travel th an their counterpans in 1970, they know mo~ about biology. physical science and scienc:c in general. "Children do understand more abou the processes of scie nce, and thty are bet~ ter able to apply what they know," J acobso n was reponed as sayi ng. Tht two researchers rrponed that between 1970 and 1983, science achievement grew by 6.5 percent for fifth graders and 5.2 per cent for ninth graders. These results wtre based on tests taken by 2,989 fifth graden and 1,9S8 ninth araders in more than 200 U.S. schools in 1983. Interestingly, in view of the Space Shuule launches and popularity of space genre movies among youngsters, Doran and Jocobson found th at the only questions that received fewer correct answers from both grades in !983, compared to 1970, were related to the moon.

Ralston fun her observed: ''It is clearly sen5tble to consider a baJ! ance bc:tween ahe classical curriculum and discrete mathematics at the beginnin~ of the college mathtmatics curneulum." In this co ntext, Ralston spoke of the need for di5crett mathematics. especially for first- and second-year compu ter science students. What they need. he assened ... i those branches of mathematics like combina· torics. graph theory and mathemallcal logic which deal with discrete objects in contrast to the continuous functions which are the fodder of calculus. ..Therefore.· he added ... if o nly to serve their 'main clientele well. mathematics departments need to reconsider what they teach in the first two years ...

Shown several Vincent Cimade works in 1919, New York gallery operator Stephan Bourgeois expressed guarded wonder: "I unravelled a mess of strings, aneta mass of small drawings slipped over my pape!5. Carefully I fmgered them. They :were drawn with a sharp and se~itive pencil. Some of them were very airy and elusive.

In his six-part Symme1ry publication, Huff describes in whimsical language o1her symmetries noted by the late German mathematician Karl (Ludwig) Lothar Wolf in 1950. There are symmetrical relationships, for instance, in the world of modern physics, although symmetry here was not at first apparent: .. The Platonic un iverse has not received a greater jolt since Kepler's discovery of the elliptical orbits, until the degradationofthe Law of Parity by Yang and Lee (Cheng Ning Yang and Tsung Dao Lee, winners of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics). Their work in the field of sub-atomic particles and nuclear decay revealed. that certain of our natural laws were of a handed or screw quality and therefore that our uhiverse may not be an omni·symmetrical entity, after all.'"' But symmetry lovers, take heart. Huff adds, "The parallel discovery of a full set of correspondent particles, called antimatter, has suggested to some scientists a dual creation in one unive(SC where there exist two worlds of inverse nature - one positive, one ncaative.'"' As an aside, Huff notes that Plato "overlooked the contradiction that the more complex. forms of biological life have lower degrees of symmetry: All creatures from crustacea to man, possess only bilateral symmetry of order 2, while the starftsh possesses it of order 10, the sea anemone, of perhaps order 1000, ud the spheric;al liftlle-celled blob. infinity. •Not much fortheqo, btlt~ it is. or ... in~_... ufr also makes an the visualizalioo or.-......

While this year's Convocation is geared to clinicians and the role of antibody in diseases seen commonly in the physician 's office, most of the presentations will feature innovative research as well. 0 impressed. "I didn' know geometry could be so beautiful,'" he told Huff. "I wish I had seen these for my book." Adds Huff: "Tbere"ssomethingstrange about geometers. They aren' very visual people. They deal wilh visual things and they don' see them in vis ual terms. They see them in terms of formulae. And we (designers) don' want lo deal with those formulae in the visual world. We want to deal with the ir consequence." Another formal design problem concerns the Mobius strip. discovered by the 19th century German mathemaucian August Ferdinand Mobius. The strip is formed by pasting together the ends of a rectangular strip of paper after giving one end haifa twist. By cutting the strip along its center line, a single strip with a tw~:r sided surface is formed . Dubbed "eternity" by the Egyptians, the Mobius strip has proved fertile ground for Huff students who make beautiful models of the phenomenon. and for fiction writers like the late A.J . Deutsch. In his "A Subway Named Mobius." a newly-constructed Boston subway shuttle line accidentally creates a Mobius stri p and a mulling time warp for 350 lemporarily lost Boston subway riders. _ Hufrs research interests also concern color lheory. Besides finding ways 10 make secondary colors work like primary colors, he has recently listed "23 discreet uses of color."There arc many inte:restina iconic uses of color, be explains, ( red used because it"s the color of blood, ete.). along with physiological effects of color. ... Lf you walt into a red room, it aut~:r matically raises your blood pressure," he notes. A native of Pittsburgh, Huff has lectured widely. In 1980, he received a National Eodowment for the Arts publication grant. Results of his basic design teaching approach have been exhibit"~' at Harvard and Princeton Universities and the University of Soulhem California, a among other schools. �~ .111 June 1984, Summer No.1 AWdlds Two FurntlS A wards Given Two awards in memory or former UB Ptuidc:nt OiiTord C.

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.

We must realize this in order to understand what is happening in our world," said Dr. Jonas Salk, speaking at the Medical Alumni Association's 1984 Spring Clinical Day, Saturday. "My purpose, ·• he continued, .. is to get you to see the events of the world as pan of a great evolutionary process, and that humans.area critical force in that process." The founding director and resident fellow of California's Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Dr. Salk delivered the Stockton Kimball Memorial Lecture at the Medical Alumm Luncheon at the Marriott. In his talk, " Metabiological Medicine," Salk pointed out th many ways in which evolutionary cbanges alter the values, makeup and attitudes of the world, and the critical reasons these changes must be understood and analyzed. As an example of an evolutionary change, Salk pomted to the recent population growth, which, he explained, was indeed an ..explosion," and part of a broad evolutionary process. .. Evolution is not a 8radual process," he said, "but rather punctuated' equilibrium. There is a gradual change over a period or time, and then something occurs rather suddenly. I am proposing an evolutionary way of thought for survival. I see that we have become the process of evolution itself. ln order for us to sur· vive, it's necessary for us to survive to a point when: we see problems in an evolutionary way." One must take into account not only the change in the number of people in the world , Salk urged , but the heightened interdependence among those people. ""The world ba.s become one," he said. 'The problems of one are the problems of another. The nations must find a way of resolving the problems that exist between them." Salk used charts and examples to show how pre-population explosion values and attitudes differed from those characteristics demanded by the world's present situation. An emphasis on independence and power. he pointed out, must shift to• an emphasis on collaboration. since people have been broughrcloser together. Short·range concepts must give way to long-range ones, and, instead of thinking or " parts," people must consider the "whole." Independence changes to inter· dependence, and there is far Jess stress on winning and lo ing, with the focus changing instead to a striving for mutual benefit. "When everyone thought the world was Jlat. and then everyonelearned it was round. it was a perceptual change, unchanged in reahty," Salk explained. "The change I'm referring to is not a perceptual change, but a change in reality, a change in relationships. of man to man, and of man to self. • Here, he said, "we begin to see value changes brought about by this change in reality." lhbe world is destioed to survive, Salk implied, it has no choice but to accept the necessary changes in thoughL As an example, he noted that the prevalence of nuclear weapons demands cooperation between nations, if the earth is to survive. ..The t.ime't"ill come." the scientist pre· dieted , "when it will be necessary to find another philosophical basis for the world to continue, because of the impossibility of eonttnuing with the antagonism that exists now." Salk explained that there are three phases of evolution: the physical sphere (or "pre-biological evolution," before life), the biosphere, and the mctabiosphere. As the addition of "life" marked the difference between the physical sphere and the biosphere, so the gaining of""consciousness" determined the change from the biosphere to the metabiosphere, the phase in which we are currently living. The meta biosphere, Salk said, is characterized by the emergence or human mind and culture. Tht emergence of consciousntss marked the appearance or a com{'le><ity previously u.nseen in the evoluuonary process, Salle pointed out. He noted that the unit oft he physical sphere was Stmpl) tbe atom, and the unit or the biosphere wast he cell, but that the unit of the metabiosphere i the rruod. In this sphere. h< said, we mu>l resolve notsimply the dua l· ity-~ween nucleus a.nd electron , or gene and cell, but the balance between reason and intujtion. ·we know a great deal or prebiolog•cal and biological evolution. but little or meta biological evolution," Salk wd "'We can deal with atom or cells. but fe"' undcistand much about the mind. We arc: in need of wisdom in order to Jflake appropriate choices." Understanding tht evolutionary changes in the world. he theorized , and seei ng the world in a broad. universa l sense, can be the key to survh'al. "1\'t tried today to suggest a need for looking into the future, "he concluded. "a need to contribute to the outcome. contribute to guiding the human t">'olution. from a sense of responsibility not only [or what goes on today, but for future generations." 0 Father Fisher to receive Alumni's Walter P ..Cooke award everend Edward T .

OTTAVIO �-------Mysteries From page 12 courses on great mysteries, and the film, and is not easily answered. Scott gave part of the rationale for"Myth America." "Many people are trying to say there is a mysterious and overlooked horizon representing the arrival of any one of a number of civilized societies - travelers from ancient Celtic priests to Phoenicians from the Mediterranean basin who came to this continent. The dates are wild, anywhere from two to four thousand years ago. Yet there isn't a shred of evidence for any of it. It's wishful thinking. This was the whole motivation for making the film for the English audience.'' Does that mean that the English.are more skeptical than Americans? Not necessarily, Scott answered , though national pride does enter into it. "If these tales are true, it means that America has something as old a.s Great Britain, .. he commented. cott and Caze3u wrote their book to be used as the basis for a course on the so--called ..great mysteries·• of UFO"s, the Bermu9a Triangle, Atlantis, Bigfoot, astrology, et al., because there wasn't any other appropriate text available. It has sold more than 4.000 copies in hardcover alone. .. In addition to leading us into the film, the book has led to a generation of courses in at least a half-dozen other col· leges and universities, "Scott pointed out. "'We wrote the book so that it could even be used in psychology cour~es." Scott and Cazeau have been offering their courses for several years. "I keep mine in more of a slightly orthodox anthropology course," Scott said, while Cazeau admtts to being more flamboyant in his presentation. His coune, offered since \975 ~ has never had an enrollment of less than 350 each semester; 452 have signed up for the fall semester, and he believes enrollment would top 500 if there were a lecture hall big enough to handle it. Cazeau said that student opinion to the course can be summed up 1n what one young woman wrote in ·an evaluation form: .. One by one, you are removing aU my precious little fantasies. What now can we believe in'?" Students are extremely gullible when they begin the course, both Scott and Cateau have found. They readily believe all or most of what they have read in the S May 10, 1984 Volume 15, No. 29 les·s respectable journals regarding ET's, Nessie from Loch Ness, psychic phenomena, ghosts, Bigfoot and other popular tales. Most persistent is the belief in UFO's and astrology, Caze.a u commented. adding, "I believe tbe reason they are so persistent is that there are so many things that can be seen in the sky, and not neces· sarily explained.~ He has recently added lectures on the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses and ESP to the course lectures, and is writing a book on the supernatural that will be a sequel to Grear Mysteries. "I'm going into the more ethereal realm of the supernatural, "he remarked, "looking at things more in the human mind. I'm out to probe and separate fiction from nonfiction, to employ logic and crit- · ical thinking." Cazeau said he has never in his investi· gations met a ghost he felt was real, but sees a reason why so many people choose to believe in them. "h"s man's own desire for survival, a biological need," he explained. "In the realm of the intellect ascended to through evolution, man has chosen the ultimate SUrvival - immortality. When religions say, 'We will not die; it is a biological connection in our need to survive. " T his goes back thousands of years," he continues ... Primitive cultures would bury people upside down, sometimes tied down, and pile things Qn.top of them, to keep the corpse from getting up and wandering the Earth. Our grave monuments today are a remnant of that. The .reason they did that was that they probably saw humans or animals they thought were dead later get up." Far from bein(!.siUy, that was a "logical conclusion "for these primitive peoples to come to, Cazeau said. ... We often have a tendency to laugh at the conclusions of earlier times. but they were based on the information they had." he remarked. As they progress in his course. Cazcau said, "Students shift from extreme gullibility to more critical examination of sensationalist claims. Even though I cut to ribbons many topics in my class, J tell students that all s'cience is a progress report. Tomorrow it could ch•nge. They must keep an open mind. We've not cap· tured Bigfoot, but that doesn' mean he doesn' exist. Things may come along that may astonish us ... But what about his student's question'? Jf society loses its myths, what is left to believe in? "Let's believe in something more cogent, that has more basis in logic," Cazeau answered. "I have a belief in skep-. ticism, but people have to have some· thing to latch onto. In most cases. these beliefs may be considered harmless, but J think it's a tragedy for a person to go throu~h life on earth and die believing in something that doesn' exist, when there may be things we can pursue in our intellectual Hfe that are much more meaningful and real." Cazeau and Scott began writing a question·and·answer column titled "What About?" that appears in the 81!{- - Seott (in laal) and Ca.uou (al rear) examinin•entra.nce to~ ''pouqe1rove. '' falo N~ws and is syndicated with the Gannett chain. Cazcau writes the column alone now, with Scott as a guest columnist~ answering questions like, ... Was there really a Spartacus?" and "Are UFO's real?" The sequel to their book is tentatively titled. "The Will to Believe," and will have more emphasis on why people choose to believe in mysteries. Scott sa~ 0 Senate passes complaint policy, hears 'gloomy' report on Libraries By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKJ n a rush of business befo~ the end of the academic year, the Faculty Senate Tuesday adopted a policy on how formal complaints against faculty should be handled. changed academic eligibility rules for 5tudent athlete5, and endorsed a SUNY·wide business arrangement with Apple and other personal com puter com panies that would allow faculty, students and stafr to purcbase equipment at substantial discounts. The Senate also heard an admittedly ..atoomy" report on the status of the University Libraries by Saktidas Ro)', and decided to wait for further debate and feedback on a report that oullines policies and procedures for dealina with fraud and unethical behavior in research . The resolutioos from the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee - which have been on the burner for O\'tr a yea r and had to be modified and simplified to meet administl'lltivt approval - ask that only wriuen and si&ned complaints apinst faculty be formally acted upon by an adminisuati\'e office.r and that any others not be included in an individual's personnel folder. The new poliC)' also calls for the administrative off.cer to notify 1he faculty member about the complaint, to aive a copy of it 10 the individual in question. and to irifonn the faculty member of his or her riaht to respond. Formulation of a procedure aovemina formal complaints v.·as i.nitilted wtaen the Senate Executive Commiuec le.med that a complainy bad been fikd apinll a member of the facuht and. without his t.aowlcdac. wu put in his penon..e:l and then Used apiDII him in a decision rcpnll"l promotion.

This odd assemblage so connotes prehistoric sites like I Stonehenge that local lore attributes its arransement to ancient Celtic priests. the Druids, who came to North America two to four thousand yean ago, weU before Columbus, and even reputed Viking landings. Not too far from this site is an underground stone chamber which some people have described as a "passage grave," an elaborate prehistoric type of grave found in Europe. This construction, too. bas been attributed to Druids and other unrecorded visiton to primeval America.. Tbe.e two sites are examined - with commentary by two U 8 profCIJC)fS - in a British Broadcasting Company (BBC)· produced film with the working title of "Myth America," that is being televised in the United Kingdom, with later rele~se in Canada and the U.S. The film is conceived along tbe same lines as Exploring the Unknown: Great Mysteries /Uexamlned, a book by geologist Charles J. Cazeau and anthropolopt Stuan D. Scott, the University facult)' members featured in "Myth Amenca." The program, produced by Paul Jordan for Anglia Television, a branch of the BBC, is divided into sea· ments which f octts 011 various suppooecl pre-Columbian visiton to America; Scott and Cueau examille the two lites previously described. ExpltlrliiJ IM Unluwwn also forms the buis for extremely popular COWMS offered by Scott and Cazeau within their respec:tiw diKiplines that investigate modern myths with a critical eye. Recently released in paperback by Da Capo Press and .available in hardcover, the book is also being used as a text for similar courses offered in al other universities in the U.S., including Harvard. The two UB professors were selected for their segment in "Myth America" because of the boolc. "I was initially contacted by GI)'D Daniel, probably the foremost authonty in archaeology on European prehistory," Cazeau said. "Daniel had read our book and liked it very much, since it is in harmony with his pbii<Jiophy. He has an international reputauon, and contacted us because we were at the time at the forefront of ceuntering sensationalist claims. ""He is very militant in attempting to counter pseudoscience that relates to archaeoiOI)'," he added. Then the two sites were not constructed by Druids? Scott and Cazeau both vehemently and sometimes sarcastically - debunk the notion. Tak.e the mini-.. Stonehcngc."" • According to the most orthodox science, it is hogwash to claim this was constructed by Druids, • Scott proclaimed. ot only is there no evidence that DruidsorPboeniciaiiSorotberearly group' ever traveled to the North Salem area, let alo~~etbe North AmericaacontiIICIIt, there is no cultoralreuoa for them to have placecl the stODCI in that particular ma11110r e\'tn if they bad, Cazeau added.

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.

KERSHNER B will be the location of a new Monoclonal Antibody Center, one of only five central monoclonal centers in the nation. The laboratory will use Lbe newest medi- ~ cal technology to clone cells that have been ~programmed~ to produce specific types of antibodies that can be directed at highly deli ned antigen sites, such as sites in tumor cells9 bacteria and viruses. ~The new center will be established in Erie County Med ical Center's clinical center and will be in operation on J uoe 1," sap Michael A. Apicella, M .D., acting dtrector of the center. He is a UB professor of medicine and d irector of the Division of lnfectiow Diseases. The monoclonal center will function as a service laboratory, manufacturing the · antibodies for use by up to 50 other UB researchers and by dozens of institutional and commercial laboratories in the U.S. who do not have the cxpe:nise or resour~ ces to develop these materials. It will support research by immunologists, endocrinologists. mjcrobiologists, biologists and engineers. The center is UB's newest-contribution to the developing high technology indus- U try in Western NewYork. ltisanticipated that it will be self-1'ustairiing within two years by generating income from royalties and services. At the present time, the unit is supported by UB"s Research ·Foundation, Graduate School and School of Medicine. Although the antibodies will be Used in basic research, they hold promise for practical applications in medicine. The new technology could be wed to treat the persistent gram-negative bacterial infections. which are often resistant to antibiotics. These include Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Tularemia and Brucellosis infections. Tumor antibodies could be developed to targei specific types of tumors. "An interestins applicatiOn of the antibodies could be as a targeting device or vehicle that could deliver cytotoxic drup to tumors. Private companies will be able to use the antibodies as biological reagents for identifying and diagnosina the presence of a particular bacteria cauoina infec::tion, or a tumor causiq malignancy. Aa a buic research tool, the antibodies cloned at the center promise to shed liaht on the structure of the cell surface of bacteria and the actual sites on the ceU surface where the antibodies attack. Dr. Apicella and his coinvestigaton arc cur- antibody centers rently wi ng only mouse cells. he idea forthecentrallaboratorywas conceived three years ago by Alister Brownie, M.D .• professor and chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, and John Naughton, M.D .• School of Med icine dean. Dr. Apicel\a brought the idea to frui tion LOJC!ber with Philip LoVerde, Ph.D., associate professor of microbiology; Robert ~nco, D .D.S., Ph.D .• chairman of the Department of Oral Biolop. and Ronald Berezney, Ph.D .• assoc1ate professor of biological scieoces. The laboratory will operate in cooperation with the Health-Related lnstNments and Device Institute, Inc. (HIDI) d1rected by Michael Anbar, Ph.D .. chairman of the Department of Biophysical Sciencea. In addition, Dr. Raymond Kelleher, associate professor of biology at Geneseo State, had a major role in development of the center. The antibodies are developed from the products of fwion of mouse spleen cells and plasmacytoma cells, certain malianant cells isolated from mice that manufacture the antibodies. The combination. called hybridoma. is a kybrid between tbe two cell Lypes. The actual procedures work in the followin& way: T After experime.ntal mice an: Immu nized, their spleens are removed . The • spleen cell are w~hed and mixed with mouse plasmacytolna cell that arc maintained in tissue culture: Polyethyleneglycoi(PEG) is then added to fuse tbe two types of cells. the spleen and plasmacytoma cells. An antima.bolite, aminopterin, ltiliJ tbe malignant cells but not the · spleen celb or hybrid fwed spleen / malignant cells. The process enables these cells to be separated. After two weelr.s of growth, the clones become visible. Those cells identified as containina antibodies arc separated and further cultured to produce lar&e volumes. The hybridomas and antibody can be easily stored in freez.en for long periods of time. When an order is placed by another laboratory, tbespecimens can be thawed and reconstituted for further UIC, or for additional antibody productioa. Dr. Apicella received his medical degree from Downnate Medical Center in 1963. During tbe month of April, 1984. he served on tbe World Hunger Orsanizat.ion 's Panel on Encapsulated Bacteria. He is a member of tbe editorial board of lnf«tion and lmmuni1y, and .-..:eived the U.S. Air Fora:"s Research Development Award in Medicine in 1970. a Adapting to Buffalo more than just bundling up for Jewish students By WENDY CONLIN or Jewish students. adapting to Buffalo goes beyond acquiring a taste for chicken winp and leamina to wear two pairs of socks in the winter. ~ when you're up here, it isn't very long before you realiu t.ba1 tbe Jewish community isn't lat'JC in Lbe area - and you feel it," noted David Koenia, a junior at the University.

Chancellor Oifton B. Wharton, k . provided the Board of Trustees prior to T their meeting in AJbany last \o\'Cek with a staff position paper endorsing several recommendations on athletic policy changes originally advanced by a Task Force on Improving the Quality of Student Life. The recommendations would have the effect of permitting an upgrading of the level of athl<tic · · competition by authorizi ng. among other items. the awarding of athletic scholar· ships. The recommendations presented 'lo \he Trustees also call fbr control of athletic programs to be vested in an administrative-faculty body in compliance with NCAA regulations - a sore point Vr~rith some student spokespersons. The Trustees took no action on the proposals at their April 2S session. though there was considerable debate in which student representatives took issue with the idea. At least one Trustee. Ml'$. Judith Moyers. cautioned, according to the Albany KnickerbO<'ku News, that "big-time athletics" might not be as popular with students as some think. They certainl y aren't at the University of Texas~ Mrs. Moyers is reported to have told the Trustees. U B President Steven B.

He was describing the ongoin$ controversy about the logging and mming plan for New Yo rlt:S largest state park before an Environmental S tudies Center seminar audience, April 13. Mr. Kershner is medical and science editor for the University News Bureau. Duriq hi5 · personal time, he chairs Friends of Allegany, a consortium of Western N.Y. environmental organizations opposed to the loggiq plan. Located I loS hours south of Buffalo, Allegany State Park attracts I loS miUion people annually because of its wild, natural setting and camping, hiking, picniclting, water recreation and otber outdoor opportunities. The third largest state park in the nation, it i5 the largest fo rest tract and the hilliest area in New York west of the Adirondacks. Eleven yean ago, the State Office of Parks and Recreation, which runs the state park system, quietly decided to open the park up to loggmg. They hired a forester to devi5e the plan and nine years and ~~~;;.~:Yof~::Jn~~i~~et!:~~ public and media. Somehow, Mr. Kershner explained, word about the mystery plan got out. The en vironmental community was in shock. "When I beard about it, I started calling up tbe leaden of other environmental and outdoor groups." Kershner related that their consi5tent reaction was "Thi5 bu got to be a joke ... Who is this again?" But is wu no joke. The state bad plans so log off about half of the tOO-squaremile park and build 22 miles of new road. The plan encouraged nearly unlimited oil and gas CJ<trw:tion of the mineral resources underlying most of the park. Dor.ens of oil rip were a distinct possibility, with uaoc:ialed clearing, more road building, a network of pipelines, waste pits and spillaF baz.anls. If \be plans for wholesale exploitation weren' enough, the parks agency also proposed to eliminate 60 per cent of the deer, beaver and raccoon populations, Kenlmer continued. "S o,uproar you might ask, why all · this about logging a park?" Mr. Kershner posited. "Because such an action would be the first time in New York history and apparently the ftrst time in U.S. history that commercial logging would become a primary goal and activity in a state park. It would be a nationally-precedent-setting action. In Vie""Points • Pion for logging in State parks draws opposition retorted that acres of downed trees, stumps, muddy logging roads and chainsaw noise would clearly degrade sccruc beauty and recreational attractiveness. Ecologists testified that certain wildlife species would indeed benefit from changes associated with logging - but an equal number of species would be negatively affected. "In fact , the species that would benefit would be those that are already abundant in the region. This would include the deer, whose serious over-population would become even greater. The species that would suffer are those which depen~ upon mature forest habitat, which is uncommon in the region," Mr. Kershner elaborated. These include quite a few rare species. fact, the agency told us that if the Allegany logging plan were approved, it would be.a model for New York's other state parks. Thus, logging and mineral extraction could occur in Lctcbwonh, Harriman·Be-ar Mountain and other . large parks. "A second reason for its tremendous significance," he continued, ""is that the logging plan violates tbe very principle upon which parks are based. Non-urban parks are, by definition, large tracts of scenic land left in a relatively natural state for the public to use for enjoyment, recreation and education. Logging is t<!tally inappropriate in a state park." Reflecting the agency's confidence that their plan would sail ahead without opposition, they scheduled logging to commence in February 1983. What followed was a classical example of grass roots opposition·, Mr. Kershner pointed out. The environmental community mobilized, sending out a flurry of letters and phone calls to politicians, the agency and the media. Eleven thousand petition signatures were collected. Both -the Buffalo News and the late CoutierExprus carne out with editorials opposing the plan, while town and county governments came out with resolutions. "The parks agency had deliberately planned not to have a public hearing in the Buffalo area. But the pressure got so great that they reversed their decision," he explained. ln spring 1983, hundreds spoke at two days of hearinjp. The parks commissioner in Albany, Orin Lehman, was clearly taken abacl by all the con troversy. Realizi ng it was a much more serious issue than anticipated, he announced that the hundreds of public comments wou ld be reviewed and used to revise the plan. There bas now been a year of silence from the agency as it revamps its proposal. The agency gave several justifications for its plan. They claimed that loggiq would ..enhance-.. n:CTeation, that it would improve scenic beauty, and that it would benefit wildlife. Environmentalists ublic hearing testimony alii> pointed out serious omissions. contradicP tions and misconceptions in the plan. The plan claimed that logging would benefit wildlife, yet it proposed special hunting to remove 60 per cent of the deer, raccoon and beaver - the most popular animals in the park. A serious myth found'{l:peatedly in the plan, according to Mr.IKershner, who has a degree in forest ecology, ~ that forests .. need '" man's management, and that uncut trees ire just a ~astcd .. resource. "Such myt.hs ari: only believed by those who are either uneducated in the laws of ecology, or are limited to a utilitarian view that values nature only when it provides tangible products for human use," Mr. Kershner commented. "MagnifiCent,. flourishing forests existed here long before white man's timber management came on the scene. And uncut treeS are essential to the functioning of natural ecosystems by providing the very cooditions that perpetuate the stable. climax forest thatts now developing in the park. Trees that die are vital as nesting sites. food sources and shelter for dor.ens of species - and ultimately transform into new soil upon which tree seedlinjp germinate. V1ewing them as waste is an incredibly narrow view, and it is highly season~ disturbing for a parks agency to adopt such a view in managing its parlts." Another strange contradiction, Kershner pointed out, is the claim that logging would bring needed revenue5 into tbe agency and local economy. The opposition pointed out three flaws in that argument: I) The costs of administering such a program would cost almost u much as the revenues brought in by selliq the timber, 2) most of the tree species are in low demand and oversupply as wood products and 3) tbeeffectson scenery and quiet by logging would cause a loss in park visitation. The losses to the local economy and park revenues could exceed the loggmg revenues tenfold. -rhe most glaring omission was the lack of mention of the park's most valuable ecological feature. It contains the largest stand of near-virgin forest west of the Adirondacks in New York. The 900acre Big Basin stand or ancient trees is an irreplaceable part of our natu.ral heritage. The plan never mentioned it - even though it would be tbedircctcenterofthe logging zone." he ex.plained. bile the state has been re-working its- plan, the environmental community has developed one ofiu own. The leaden of seven Western N.Y. organizations spent days carefully devising a plan that would generally reflect the way the park bas been operated since its inception tn the 1920's. Their strategy, Kershner explained, was to ha~ the environmental community speaking twitb one voice. To date, 17 regional and national organizations have endorsed the alternative; others oppose the State plan. What next? The agency will release its new plan this fall, which will be followed by public beatings. "If the citir.en opposition doesn' remain high, it i5 clear the agency will go ahead to log and mine the park." Mr. Kershner stated. "If you feel strongly enough, come to the bearing or send some letters. Every leuer and public comment has a tremendous collective effect. one that the agency can' ignore. I hope the University community will make iuc:lf heard, too." Asked what the environmental community will do if the logging plan is apP.roved, Kershner paused and then .satd, "We're determined that won' happen. If it does, we11 tie it all up in litigation, lobbying the leJislature to legally prevent 11 and, if necessary, the last resort of civil disobedience might be considered." 0 W ~-- ~~~ - ­ -----~~ Nancollas receives grant to continue crystal growth research By WENDY ARNDT-HUNT ith the help of a $63,<169 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). UB's leading professor of chemistry is continuing his search for the explanation of bow crystals grow. This knowledae, said George H. NancoU.., Ph.D., can help answer questions surrounding such d iverse problems u nuclear reactor waste disposal and acid rain. If the fwion byproduct Strontium 80 can be precipitated as a flouride salt, be aaid, it could be buried safely u a solid. This crystallization process would not dccraK its radioactive life span, but it would eliminate its ability to contaminate underground water tables via leaching. As far u acid rain i5 concerned, NancoUu said it's feasible to oJ<idizc flue ps contaminants resulting from \be burntng of coal, such as sulfur diollide, and precipitate them u calcium sulfate (&ypsum). Consequently, be IIICIItioned, the possibility exists that these destructive todustrial wastes could be converted to wallboard for home construction. Wallboard is lll8dc of gypsum.

The survey, which elicited response from 52 per cent ofU 8'sfuU-aod pan-time faculty - or714 people - was designed and implemented by Professors Lester Mil brath and Victor Doyno as an assessment tool to improve quality of life here. The instrument was reviewed by l.he Faculty Senate Executh'C <::orruniuce and pretested by 30 faculty. The ques tionnaire, which sought response on more than 120 campllS elements, from academic lea<lcnhip to U8's physical plant, prod uced a "BOld mine" of informalion which can be used in fut ure planning effon s and to provide a needed "context " against whic,h depannaental achievemen ts can be measured, advises Ooyoo. He and Mil brath hopeto"elaborate" on the fi nd ings by breaking down the data accord ing to campus. faculty and each respondent 's "primary definition of self"' as a researcher, teacher, administrator or librarian. While facult y may often be heard griping over slow campus mail or tact of parking, the survey clearly shows that what they find most annoyi ng .,., l!ot petty inconveniences but things which adversely impact on their ..intellectual and professio nal pursuits,- or. in other wo rd s~ things th at ...prt'venl them from doing their jobs." says Milbrath.

In calling for approval of grants-in-aid for athletes, the Task Force noted that such scholarships are not necessarily undesirable in a total program of financial aid. and that athletes are no more or less deserving than other students with unique talent5. Comparable programs already exist in other parts of the University, the Task Force noted, especially in the performing arts. But while the group endorsed tbe concept, they emphasized the need for safeguards agaiost the "abuse" and " hypocrisy" which have plagued many "btg-time" sports colleges and universities. Appropriate supervisory controJs must be put in place:. they urged, and equal opportunity for women must be assured. • Revision of the current policy on the Student Activity Fee in such a way as to respond to concern for control. continuity of program and appropriate st udent pan.icipation. • Continued emphasis upon the need for adequate facilities at all of the cam· puses in order that each student might be entitled to the best that can be made available in a total educational program - both inside and outside the classroom. • Exploration by Central Adminislra· tion and individual units of the means whereby additional staffing and funding can ultimately be made available for intramural and recreational sports. • Examination of the means whereby every student can have maximum opportunity for personal development of skills in physical education and athletics. • Employment of coaches for women's sports as soon as possible. • Action on the part of each college president to reaffirm the fact that prim. ary responsibility for the college sports program rests in the office of the pres· dent and that major decisions and policies with respect to progr8m, stafftng, financing and conformity with appropriate standards must be approved by the college president. • The establishment on each campus of a board of athletic control (or comparable committee) with appropriate repre· sentation of the constituent campus groups. • Examination by each unit of State University of its own programs with respect to: a.

Along with making its recommendations, the Task Force commended the cUrrently-existing quality of intercollegiatt, intramural and recreational support programs throughout SUNY, the emphasis upon educational values in the present efforts, the absence of an overemphasis on intercollegiate athletics and existing freedom from serious abuses in competitive sports. They commended the Chancellor and Board of Trustees for efforts to provide comparable facilities for competitive and recreational sports, but noted that serious problems of fund· ing, staffing, and institutional co~trol of funding currently exist and need to be addressed. he SUNY staff paper authored by James S.

That paper contends that NCAA regulations require administration and / or faculty-staff members to constitute at least a majority of the board in control of intercollegiate athletics. Within SUNY now. jnterCollegiate athletic teams are partially State-funded (for coaches'salar· tes, facilities and maintenance) and partly student-funded (travel, equipment and. at times, coaches• salaries). Campus student associations not only determine the amount of funding to be allocated from the student activity fee for the athletic budgets, with faculty and administrators acting to varying degrees in an advisory capacity, but also control the expenditure of those runds. "The control of expenditures for intercollegiate athletics must be changed to be in compliance with NCAA requirements," and also to assure controls for constant funding levels, the Smoot-Hostetter paper advised the Board . may repeat that eourw once.

The staff paper also recommended that a separate intercollegiate athletic ~ec: be authorized by the Board. The ongtnal Task Force recommendation was that a specific intercollegiate athletic fee be put into place only if a given campus student body decided to abolish the mandatory general student fee from which athletic support is currently taken. Associate Vice Chancellor Hostette< told the RLporter, however. that after delibera· tions within the SUNY Executive Council and with the Council of President5, there was broad consensus for refining that proposal into the recommendation to establish a separate fee with the maximum amount to be determined by the Chancellor. In the first year of operation, the staff paper suggests, the amount of the athletic fee would equal the current allocation from the student activity fee for intercol· legiate athletics. In subsequent years, the athletic fee could be increased no more than I0 per cent in any one year unless approved by the Chancellor or his designee. In the first year of operation, the student activity fee would be reduced by . the amount of the athletic fee expended for intercollegiate a.tbletics. The staff paper also advised that student activity fee guidelines be revised to remove reference to support for intercollegiate athletic activities. To facilitate the Task Force's recom· · mendation on grants-in·aid, the staff papersuggested that current Trustee pol· icy could be amended to read: "Campuses may provide student subsidies based primarily on a student's athletic ability in accordance with NCAA Rulcs and Regu lations governing such awards." The staff document also empwiz.ed that. when and if upgrading in intercollegiate athletics comes on a.ny campus~ "equal attention must be given to the upgrading of women's teams as to the men's teams ...

These students v.ere active in presenting the views of stud ent government leaders, but withdrew from the Task Force after the group passed '" recommendation oo funding. The students would continue no further on the Task Force, they said, until 50 per cent student membership was appoanted to the group. Possible loss of student con· trot over the athletic program under the Task Force proposals seemed to be a factor in that withdrawal. The Phase I Repon was noneth ele" sent to all student government presid~n" ,..ith an invjtation to respond to the recommendations. Two responses Vt cre received as of mid-April, Smoot and Hostetter said. The Pot5dam tudent Senate unanjmously voted to continue "The present policy of the SU Y athlet· ics program, allowing for a safe, educational. ~uccessful and quality program for athletics, under tbe direction of the Student Government Association, and ultimately, the College President." and the ..executives of the Student Association of the State University ollege at Fredonia after careful consideration strongly objected to the funding policies (concerning athletics) recommended in the task force report." Additional repons from Rudent governments and the Student Assembly were promised. but were not received, the Smoot-Hostetter paper noted. Whatever the ultimate resolution of the sports phase of its assignment. the Task Force was also charged ·with an overall look at student life. Said 11> chairman T .M.

No. Prehn challenges cancer theory be long-held surveillance theory which contends that cancer develbps as a consequence of the immune system's failure to rec~ ogniz.e and suboequc:ntly destroy aberrant cells is being actively challenged by a pioneering tumor immunologist who spoke at UB in April. Delivering The 14th Annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecture at Farber Hall, Dr. Richmond T. Prehn said mounting laboratory evidence sugests that instead of its role as protector the immune response may in some tumor sys· terns encourage development and growth of malignant tissue. Dr. E'rehn concedes that much of the scientific community remains skeptical of the idea that cancer may indeed sometimes be an autoimmune disease such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and otben. But. he adds, there's growing evidence to suppon the nofion that cancer may in fact develop as a consequence of the body's anemP.t to defend itself. The scientific director of the Institute for Medical Research io San Jose, Dr. Prdln says the convincing evidence of cancer as an autoimmune condition is provided by animal rescan:h be's conducted during the put decade. In that rescan:h, be has demonstrated that transplanted lumoB of certain types do not develop in animah who have either an extremely strong or a correspondinaly weak immune response. Within an intermediate raoae of respciiiK. however, the tumoB develop and .,ow. MAY 4-18, 1984 8£THUNE GALLERY identi"-1 kin. After irradiating the bone marrow and thymus of the animals to remove their T and B cell producing capabilities, small amounts of mcreasing immunity were added to the mice via mouse sp.lecn cells. At the lowest titration of spleen cells, the animals did not further develop their transplanted tumors. Neither dtd the tumors proliferate as tbe ~s uper .. immunity levels were reached. But at the intermediate level of immunity, the tumoB developed rapidly. Dr. Prehn said that if the surveillance theory ....,re always correct , the mice who received very little immunity via the small amountof,plecn cells would have developed the tumors rapidly. Instead. they surprisinaly did not. "We have alwa~ believed that the suppression of the tmmune system which JOCS along with most chemolberat'Y for cancer is an adverse side effect, • said Dr. Prehn. But instead, it well may be the very suppression of the fighting T and B lyii\Jihocytes of the imm~~~~e respoJISC which leads to the improvement noted in patients who Undet'JO siOCb treatmc:nL Dr. Prehn cautioned, however, that what be has repeatedly oblerved in the animal experiments may not bold true for all tumor systems.

The extremely bigh cost makes it "very doubtful that Division I will follow from this athletic fee. The only way, really, without puuins an unbearable burden oo the students, would be if the State put up the money. • Sex equity is another factor which McAievey commented on. "We couldn' afford to go Division I with the number ofwomen's teams we'd need . As a result, we'd run into Title IX problems."

Would the Daily Work~r blame the incident on the oppressive capitalistic social coOditions which prompted the man to chew his best friend or was it just another examele ofa "drug-crazed youth on a rampage as the N~w York Post might insist? Despite repeated claims tO the con· trary, the reportage of news by the print media varies. a rt:sult of linsuistic appovaches which can lead the reader to form significantly different viewt of an incident than what "really occurred," explained Stuart J . Sigman. a professor of speech and communication a:t Penn ' State University. Sigman spoke at UB's Center for Cultural TransmiSSion recently on "Newspaper Language and the Readers' Understanding of World Events." using some early results of his resurch to justify observations that how the print media covers events colors read· ers· impressions of them~ Employing articles from two London dailies (see accompaning boxes) concerning the same event - rioting at a carnival - Sigman questioned SOO Americao respondents on what, referrins to the one article they were assigned, had occlliTCd, what sroups performed which actions and who was responsible. Finally, Sigman asked tbem to select one of two cdi· torials, which had originally appeared in the newspapers, which beat addressed the incident. The articles were culled from the London Sun, Britain's largest circulation daily which pretends to have no political ties, and the Morning Star, one or the nation's smallest newspa~ boasting "explicit ties" with the Bntisb Communist Party. According to his lingttistic " pre-research," Sigman noted that both anicles -contain an equal amount or fac· tual information and basically talk about the same thin,." However, their conveyance' of such mformation, he u.i.d. does present readers with noticeably different accounts ohhe Nouing Hill Carnival and Sigman with persuasive evidence that newspaper language docs taint a reader's inl<rpretation or world events. "We wanted to- bow audiences inter: act with the news text and how they relate to the C\lent itself," be said. add in& that a cle&r line or clemarlr.ation was evident in the perceptions of the riot between SUI! and MomU., Sr11r readers.

"It also malr.a it clear tiW the youths were at fault alld B that the police were just doing their expected job." - After reading the Sun article, each respondent, Sigman noted, "put the blame on the youths or those who organized the carni\'aJ - the rwo civilian sroups.

The pro-Communist ne,..paper's readers were "unable to picl< out a specific group or party as respbnsibk:," Sigman noted, and they tended to view the police as more causally invoh-ed than their Sun countcrpens. "The (readers) knew who were the sroups involved but were unclear as to what the interaction was between them, "be said.

In general, Sigman noted, readers selected the editorial or the newtp-s>er whose article they had originally read .

A special major in joumaliJm and philosophy, Stem wu undaunted by UB's lack of on official joumaJiJm school, since, he said, .. it is more important to work for an cstabliJhcd (student) newspaper and get the bonds-on experience no clusra6m can Jive."

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.

Approximately 500 new positions will be funded SUNY-wide this year, according to E. W. Doty, vice president for finance and management. The new positions will be distributed among the various campuses, according to need . They will include 14 new appointments in the UB Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences as well as· others in tbe area of Health Sciences. ."We're encouraged," Doty said . "Even though there are actually fewer positions than last year,thisyearwe'refullyfunded - no waiting. Direction is the thing that counts." Budget preference given to UB is, according to Doty, attributable to the University's successful energy conservation program. "There has been a reward for it," he concluded . On the other hand, SUN Y dorm rates will, regrettably, rise to the tuneofSISO a year. "That's the only negative facet of the budget I can see," Doty related. Right now, thanlr.s to read ily available offcampus housing, 400 beds are empty in the UB resid.,nce halls, out of - total 'number of 46004700. "The bike will produce more empty beds," Doty predicted. He expressed hope that UB would come up with ways of dealing with the pri~ increase, softening its effects, such methods could include differential .Pricing - each campus working out 1ts own prices -or cooperative dorms (dorms in which stu6ents might do cleaning and uplr.eep, reducing maintenance costs). University President Steven B. Sample voiced hope in this year's budget as an improvement over other years. A "I believe this year will be different, "he said, "but I'm an optimist. The power still lies in the Division of Budget to (recze all or pan of the money. We,l just have to see what happens," he concluded. n a more positive note, the Student Activities Building and Phase II of the Alumni Arena will both open their doors to students in the fall. Centrally 0 located on the Academic Spine (two or three minutes from Capen Hall, about 10 minutes from Governors), the Student 'tenter contains lounge and dining space, music.listening cu bicles, meeting rooms for student organizations, a ping-pong room , a video gameroom, eating faciH· ties, and an indoor-<>utdoor plaza. It sounds co mpl icated, but the 25,000square·foot facility is, in fact, designed with simple purposes in mind , Dr. Anthony Lorenzetti, dean of student atTain, said. .. It's a basic building. very nexible, so changes can be made," he said. Associate Professor William Sanford ofthe Department of Recreation, Athlet- ics and Related Instruction, previewing the new Phase II of Alumni Arena, noted it would have rllCCjuetball courts, seven squash courts, weoght rooms, a 30x60foot dance studio, and a 30x40-foot wres· tJing room, in add ition toswimmjng/ div· · ing facilities. A seven·foot-deep pool features a variety of diving boards at different heighu., as well as a number of platforms at different distances from the water. The main pool itsej;lf measures SO by 25 meters, and inclddes a control tower which keeps minute·by-minutc track of water tem(lfrature and chlorine content. ollowing the preview of Amherst Campus construction, the Council voted to encourage legislation concerning early retirement not only for clerical and service staff at U B (who were covered in legislation passed last year) but for faculty and professional sta.Tf as well. Undertbelegulation, early retirees could F have an annuity purehased for them equivalent to three years of State eontri· butions to their retirement program. By providing such a bonus for people who retire before 70, the legislation would encourage employees to retire early and vacate their positions. "I am personally in favor of thelegisla· tion," put in President Sample. " I think the faculty and the professional staff should have the same opponunity as the clerical and service staff. •• Sample stressed that the early retirement plan would be "purely volunuary." Vacated positions, be hopes, would result in greater flexibility in Univcnity structure. ..The promise is that we woul aJiowed to fiU those vacant positions,... e said. "I see this as very good legislation from the perspective of the University, and from the perspective of the faculty member." Doty added that the legislation should be encouraged as urgently as possible. because people who would have retired already are innead conti nu ing t ork . hoping for the legislation to pas . "We have a lot of people who would have: retired last year. and twice as many who would have retired this year, wh o ware waiting for the bill to pass; he noted. "If it doesn\ pass, v.e should have it killed,"he uggested. "At present, it is a retirement discouragement .... The possibility or esuablishing a magnet school on the Main Street Campus was first proposed earlier tb Presi· dent Sample, who aslr.ed Dr. Hugh P•trie, dean of Educational Studies, to investigate tbe project. According to Petrie, tbe academically oriented high sehool, to be located in surplus space on the South Campus, would have an enrollment of about 400 students, and would be run by tbe Buffalo school system (and not by UB). "The staffing would be primarily from the Buffalo Public Schools," Petrie noted . "Wecomeinterrnsofreseareh and development." About five people from Educational Studies, and five from Arts and Sciences, would be involved in UB's end of the project. Petrie said. 0 Garvin coordinating pair of Soviet-American linguistic conferences easy going." By JOHN K- LAPIANA ]though diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union continue on a cooli~ trend, political imbroJiios are atill failona to freeze attempts to onduce an intellectual thaw between the two superpowers, notes Paul Garvin, chair of the UB Department of Linguistics. Garvin is coordinating a pair of academic conferences involving Soviet and American scholars, the first to be held later this year in Moscow and the other in New York sometime during 1985, as "a project of inte'lonational scholarly exchange." The two symposia are being organized under the auspices of the Soviety Academy of Sciences and the ACLS, and an organization designed, Garvin said. to *encourqe" academic interaction between tbe two nations. The theme of the Moscow conference 'even for second couains, as opposed to a · will be "Problems of Literary Languages modern day Northeasterner whose in Contemporary Society," which, Garnuclear family vocabulary does not travel vin explained, entails exploring "the use far from the standard "mom, dad, sister, of language in literature and how a parand brother." ticular language is made suitable for - "Names 4iven to family members were literature." .

D. in pharma· ceutics. ot many women pursue graduate studies in pharmacy, and even fewer black women do. But Barnett, who matriculated into the Department of Pharmaceutics in the School of Pharmacy in September 1983. intends to have her doctorate in hand in four years. Or maybe five. Barnell, who grew up in a·middle-dass neighborhood in southern cw Jersey populated mostly by wtlttes, said the sul>tle disc:riminati n she experienced prodded her to prove to those who thought she could not do well in life that they were wrong. An even more po~~r-erful force. however, and a more imponant one, shesaid.lw been the steady support of her mother. a registered nurse, and her father, a millwright , who have always encouraged her to be the best she can be. A middle child between two older sisters and two younger brothen.

Music's Pinto offers 'fun' Mozart opera By MARY KUNZ wo European ladies are kidnapped and sent to a Turkish harem ruled by a tyrannical Pasha.

Hardly to be considered a serious plot. but then again, Th~ Abduction from rh~ S.rag/io, by W_olfgang Amadeus Mozart, can hardly be considered a serious opera. With its strange twists of plot, and hilarious situations and music(it contains one history of opera), Th~ Abduction from th~ S~rag/io remains a n example of what can happen when a great composer sets out to have fun. UB's Department of Music will be presenting Th~ Abduction from the Suaglio in all its raunchy glory this week· end, in the Slee Concert Hall on the Amherst Campus. Performing will be an all-stude!jJ,<;Mt. a nd the University Philharmonia. cond'ucting and directing the production will be UB music professor Carlo Pinto who, in the absence of Gary • Burgess who is on sabbatical leave, officiates as actina director of UB opera. It's appropriate for Th~ AbduCJion . from th ~ s~raglio to be performed by c- students, Pinto pointed out. After all, When the WOrk WH-~! performed , in July 1782, Mozart was~ hardly much older than many of the students participating. . ""Moz.art wasn\ often in the state of mind that he was in when he was composing this," Pinto explains ... He was yo ung. exuberant.

Every single piece in the work is a little jewel,"' be smiles . .. There isn' anything you'd want to discard." His words, we are told, are echoed by Mozart himself. The story goes that when Th~ Abduction from th• S.rag/io ftrst took Vienna by storm 200 years ago. Emperor Joseph II himself was in attendance. "My dear Mozart," he told the composer condescendingly. "it is too good for our ears, and there are a great many notes.Mozat;t told the E111peror off with a cun frankness that has sone down in musical history.

Th~ Abduction from th• S.rag/io is being performed in English instead oft he original German, partly because the work is not strictly an opera. but rather what in Mozart's time was called a singspiel literally, a play with song. Thus, the production is made up of arias punctuated by spoken conversation, not continuous music. •· A singspi~l is to some extent like a musical, .. Pinto says . .. When the characters are speaking to each other, it's like a play." Performing the work in English, he hopes, will help the audience appreciate the plot and cleverness of the opera. " We try to make it understandable by singing in English. There are some singers who believe that understanding the words isn' important. but I don' subscribe to that idea. .. Pinto says.

Stemmler, dean of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, who cited the role of public education in preventing disease. Addressing an April 20 seminar on "Higher Education and Health" sponsored by the Medical School and the Faculty of Educational Studiea, Stemmler also said medical schools must pay more attention to behavioral factors in health care; become more independent of federal control, a.nd seek out those ...sensitive, remarkably qualified" individuals now turned ofT by the competitive rush. , otherwise known as the ""pre--med syndrome." Too often, he contended, medical school applicants contrive a pattern of social service, "not out of dedication," but out of a deaire to bolster their applications in thia ftsbt for places in the medical schools. Stemmler, a pulmonary specialist with a lona record in medicalocbooladministration, said social and behavioral factors must be considered by medical racan:hen and the public at larJc. The list of the ten leading cauaes of death io 1900 included diseasa not preKnt on a similar list for 1980: tuberculoais. nephritis and diphtheria.

We must be prepared to recognize that an excessive concern with security and with the avoidance of pain has danaerous economic and biologic implications." he almost exclusive emphasis on biomedical research and curative care in medical education has overshadowed needed attention to behavioral research. said Stemmler. He also said the dependence of many medical schools oo federal monies via the National Institutes of Health oeccssarily affects the nature of American medical school education. These rqonia a~ also concentrated in a few schools. "Forty per cent of the medical schools now reca~ 80 per cent of the extramural funds of the National Institutes for Health, • Stenunler stated. Moreover, only 20 of these medical schools "have halfofthe NIH budaet for extramural raean:h.

In conclusion, Stemmler araued that medical schools "are an integral part of higher education" and have a duty to participate in the broader behavioral research described . On the other hand, he stated,thesomewhat"rigid"structure of univenity liberal ans departments, often precludes needed university-level study of the human body, even as some elementary school students are now delvina into beginning molecular biology. The American public will beneftt, he said, if it can be soundly educated in elementary human bioiOI)'. Broad public health programs ca.n do much to establish a foundation for such awareness.

Yet parents, faced with the ordeal, must tope or collapse. The rcccntly-publish.ed Wh•n yo11r child has a lifl'-lhr<at<ninR illn•ss by U B' Dr. Thomas T. Frantz is a strai«<ltforward and com passionate auidc for afflicted parents. It is wriuen in warm . comfoning tones. yet is factual. candid, and draws on extensive: advice from par· ents who have .. been there... The booklet represents something of a de~anure for the U B professor of counseling psychology, since most of hili previous work has been with grieving indi· viduals. Still. Frant~ an anociatt professor in the Depanment of Counsel'"' and Educational Psychology, was happy to write the pamphlet at the request of The Candlelighten Foundation, a Washington, D.C., agency for parents of children with cancer. The Candlclighters group published Frantz's monograph with the Association for the Care of Children's Health, a Washington· based organiz.ation concerned with all life-threatening children's diseases. The Candlclighters, says Frant1. needed a practical guide that would help parents of very ill children - on ly some of whom will recover. .. But.- writes Franll..... parenlS who have cared for a child who dted and tJ10se whose child -recovered both offer the same advice: don' give up hope. Whether you hope for a full recovery or for a painfree death , as long as yo ur \"ild is alive, keep your hope alive. • Frantz. is founder of the Compassion· ate Friends of Buffalo, now affiliated with a national organiu.tio n of the same name; both groups help parents who have ~t children. This professional association helped Frantz organize hili material for the Candklighttrs assignme nt. "In the Compassionate Friends group, there are a number of parents whose children ditd of cancer, .. he commented durin& an interview. "I talked with them, read over their journals - they had keft d iaries. That was the major source o infomuttion, what bad helped tiM<m, what didn' help them. I al o talked to orne of the nunesat Rosftii(R-ll Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo' cancer rcaarcb center and hospital). But most of the information eame from parents lhemsclvcs." later. in Washinaton, the Candkliahten asked a aroup of aperienccd parents to review Frantz' completed maniHCtipt..

In frank . yet always Compassionate prose, Frantz tells pare-nts to remaJo i n~ control, but not through a phony masking of honest emotion.

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

D Pre-med pressure reduced by early assurance plan By BRUCE S. KERSHNER . ntense pressure and strain have traditionally been unavoidable for premedical students who prepare for and apply to medical school. For some premedical students, this will no longer be necessary now that UB's School of Medicine has esta blished its Early Assurance Program. For the first time, the new program allows premedical students to apply to the School of Medicine in their sophomore year, one to two years earlier than other students. If admitted to the Early Assurance Program, they can concentrate more on learning and personal development and tess on the uncertainty and stifling competition that many prcrhcdical students experience in their JUnior and senioi years, according to Dr. Tbonias J . Guttuso, chairman of the Medical School's admissions committee. '"Conceived of three to four years ago, the program as finally been brought to fruition." Dr. Guttuso related . Up to ten college sophomores per year will be given formal commitments of admission from the School. The first ones will enter in the fall of 1986. Initially, the program will involve undergraduates already enrolled at 0 U8. Dr. Guttuso anticipates that the University Honors Program will provide especially talented candidates for the program, though it ill not be limited to these students. Besides relieving the pressure for medical school admission, the program has other objectives. One major objective is to identify and recruit promising minority students and encourage them to pursue a career in medicine. The program is also intended to enrich and expand undergraduate education by encouraging students to pursue areas of interest, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, in addition to fulfilling premedical science requirements. It is designed not to accelerate the premedical curriculum, but to enrich the student's selection of courses. " It will free up the selected students to take non-science I courses which they might not have take~ " comments Dr. Guttuso. A particularly attractive aspect to the new program is that its students will not have to take the grueling day-long Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) required of other medical school applicants. In addition, it will enable students to benefit from an early association with U 8 Medical School faculty advisors and to have access to summer research or clinical opportunities. Pursuit of thesis honors will be encouraged. Acceptance will be based on academic performance, aptitude. and demonstrated qualities of leadership. Commitment to humanistic and societal concerns that arc increasingly associated with the practice of medicine will also be assessed. The program is designed to attract future health care leaders. Because only three semesters of college academic achievement can be evaluated, applicants must, by the end of their sophomore years. have completed half of the premedical coursework. . In return for having a seat reserved in., the fall 1986 entering class, undergraduates selected thi~ yea r (a nd those picked for subsequent years) have to meet cenain requirements to remain in the Program. They must maintain a grade point average of 3.5. They must remain full-time students, complete all prcmcd ic~l requirements, and earn their bachelor's degrees . .-Jso required is that they exhibit a high degree of maturity and emotional sta bility and display a commitment for a career in medicine. Students admitted through the program must formally agree that they will not enroll in another medical school before or after they start med ica:l school. While in medical school, other existing academic and professional standards must also be met. Students interested in the program can pick up applications at the Medical School Admissions Office, 133 Farber Hall, Main Street Campus or call (716) 831-3465. 0 �April 19, 1914 Volume 15, No. 21 ~13 Flight UB engineers aiming high for altitude record By WENDY CONUN group of UB engineering Silldents are aiming high - about 20,000 feet high to be exact. As an independent study project, they're attempting to design and construct an Ultralight that will set a new World Altitude Record for aircraft of that class.

The aroup will&et a waiver from Buffalo International Airport to go beyond the FAA ltl.~feet restriction. Goins after the record is what will be "&ood for the Univcrsily,"in Priest'scyes. The record would be credited to U B not just to the nine involved, he said. The Ultrali&bt will cost $8500 to complete - half of which has not vet been raised.

MAIO2. 1914. w �April 19, 1984 Vo lu me15, No. 26 41~IT The West can learn Japan's game By J OHN K. LAPIANA es pite statements to the con· t rary, Western business can counter the recent Japanese industrial a nd technical onslaught by adopt ing the same manag<>ment technique$ which catapulted the small isla nd nation to the fo refront of t he business world, notes C. Carl Pogels, professor and chairma n of U B's Depa rtment of Management Science and Systems. Pegels is author of the recently pubtshed Japan vs. the West: Implications fo r Management (Kluwer-Nijhoff Publishing, $35), an " overview of various Japa nese management techniques, processes, and practices" and how they can be successfully adapted by American a nd Western European businessmen. According to Pegels' research, American managers seriously lag behind t heir Japanese counterparts in two maj or conceptual areas - employee p articipation a nd in-process inventory cont rol - a theoretica l ga p which has contributed to the U.S.'s substantial trade deficit with its Pacific neighbor. "Western managers do not use their employees to the maximum extent the Japanese do," he ex plai ned. "The J a panese view the employee as a human D resource with wide--ranging possi bilities." Ra ther than hiring to fill a specific position, Pegels said, Japanese managers loo k at applicants as potential "members of th e organization" who can and will contribute to t he company in areas other t ha n their specialty. ''As a member of the organization, Japa nese employees are expected to do everything in their power to hel p that organization," Pegels explained. "They are expected to become involved in the management of the company." Such a philosophy is most apparent, he noted, in what management scientists refer to as ..quaJiry circles .. - groups consisti ng of ma nagement a nd labor representatives who discuss the problems and opportuni· tics faci ng t he company o n a regu lar basis. Quality circles, too, he said, can lead to " partner ma na_gement" a nd "con· sensus decision ma ki ng." giving employees a greater sense of loya lty t o the corporation and affording executives valuable in sights into alternati ve , viewpoints. While for some staid American businesses, quality circles seem almost revohltionary and sinisterly socialistic, Pegels said the concept is enlisting U.S. subscribers with encouraging results. " Minnesota Mining and Ma nufacturing (the 3M . Corporation) has successfully used quality circles," he said, add ing that locally, Westinghouse Electr ic h as become an ..extensive circle user." However, while employing quality circles may he a somewhat easy choice for American businesses after the fear of allowing labor into the boardroom is overcome, implementing the Japanese's sue<:essful in-process inventory controls is'more difficult. Maintaining a too-large inventory may, Pegels explained, bite almost 35 cents of every dollar a company spends. "The Japanese have recognized that by reducing their inventories, they are able to reduce the cost of production significantly," he said. Many Japanese firms employ a ·~ust· in-time" or .. Kanban" production system which "times" supply and production schedules, limiting the need to maintain excessive inventory . ..The Japanese have been able to manage their suppliers to the point where they can now reduce their in'process inventory (to levels far below "As a member of the organization, Japanese employees are ex~ to do everything in their power to help that organization~' - C. CARL PEGELS what an American corporation could)," Pegels said , adding that savings realized by better inve ntory management can be passed along to the consumer through lower prices. inventory management has played an especially significant role in Ithen-proccss J a panese assault on the American car market, Pegels said. Currently, thelapanese auto manufa ctu rers produce cars for almost $2000 less tha n their American competito r's and while la bor is less expensive in Japan. Pogels assesses that almost one-th ird of t hat cost advantage can still be attributed t.o inventory management. However. for American com panies to adopt the Japa nese meth ods, which took Books over a decade to develop, drastic overhauling of existing factories must occ~r, a time and cost consideratioq many executives would rather not risk. "(Implementing t he Japanese inventory controls) requires a complete redesign of production facilities," he said. "Machinery must be able to be changed rapidly. The Japanese can switch around in minutes what wou ld take hours in the United States." The Japanese also hold an edge over the West in the degree of mechanization and robotization of plants, a factor which assists not only in better inventory management but also in quality control and employee morale. "The Japanese are actively trying to eliminate the more boring jobs through automation," he said. Their motivation (to roboti.ze) lies more in increasing quality than in cost-<:utting." And quality is key word in the Japanese industrial community. a natural outgrowth of the country's highly competi- . tive business climate, a situation "sorely" absent in America. ••A lot of excuses are used to explain why thelapanese are doing so well," Pegcis said, ••but most obserwrs seem to forget that Japanese firms operate in a very competitive home environment. .. Unlike the United States, for example, where three auto manufacturers operate in an oligopoly, seven firms battle for the Japanese auto yen before even beginning to envision riches~from export trade. The " tough competition " has helped many J ctpanese industries - most n tably autos, cameras and electronics to become efficient business machines, producing low cost, high quality products. ..Japanese industries a.re dCveloped in local markets before becoming exporters," he explained ... These com panics are so competitive worldwide because they endured an incredible amount of competition just to survive in their home markets ... For many U.S. ind ustries, the opposite holds true. "What killed the American auto companies was the lack of competition," he said, noting that the recent ••comeback" by Detroit is somewhat artificial since import restrictions are keeping Japanese competition at bay. Yet, Pege.ls warns, the highly vaunted Japanese management system is not immune from drawbacks. Consensus decision maki ng Lends, he explained, to lead to conservative, or .. risk minimizing," actions and, in many insta nces, lost opportunit ies. "The need for risk taking is co nsiderable," Pegels said . "The J apa nese have a tendency to look toward existing technology and try to perfect it (as a new industry). "The entrepreneurial spirit of this count!)' just does not exist in J a pan, "be mainta med . .. In the futu re. when ot her nations have become mo re competitive, the lack of th is spirit in J a pan may create some problems fo r them." 0 Cummings grant assists Matalon's research he James H. Cummings Foundation of Buffalo has awarded an S18,000 nt to the University at B:df:o Foundation to insure completion of a major cardiopulmonary research project.

If an infant is severely retarded , or otherwise disabled or deformed, should be or she be "allowed to d ie?" Do an infant's parents have tbe . authority to insist that life-supporting devices be removed from a child they do not think could lead a "meaningful life?" What effect does a retarded child have on his or her family? Dr. Gunnar Dybwad confronted these questions with a resounding advocacy of infants' rights before a sizable group on Tuesday afternoon in the ~nter for Tomorrow. The recipient of a Doctor of Laws degra: from the University of Raile, Germany, and a ~uate of the New York School of Soaal Work, Dybwad save a talk entitled "Baby Jane Doe: Ethical and Legal Aspecuoflnfants with Birth Defects." Dybwad is professor emeritus of human development at the Florence Heller School for Advancool Studi01 in Social Welfare, Bnmdeis University. Dybwad began by citins an instance wbieb occurred in ConDeCti<:ut in 19g2. An infant, be related, wu born with Down 'I Syndrome and heart and spinal defects. Althougb the child wu duly prepared for suraery. the parents deaded qainst it. They demanded that the infant's medical support be cut off, and wben tbe child wu four-days old, allsupP'!rt ceued, includiQa oral feedina. The infant died 19dayslater, followinasevere weiabt loss. "The suraery bad been decided on by physicians, and cancelled by the parents, who refused it," Dybwad explained. ..There wu no medical decision agreed to by tbe parents, but a noo-medical decision qreed to by the physicians.• Dybwad decried the procedure u a "gross deviation" from medical care. If the mother bad taken the child home from the hospital and starved it there, be pointed out, she would be prosecut.e d. And, be added, if a death row prisoner were to be starved to death, citizens across the country would protest. A 16-year-old prl who smothers an S unwanted child would be prosecuted for infanticide," be said. "But both ehildren are a case of infanticide. Both bad the capacity to live, but their parents didn' wish them to·." Dybwad stressed that no one has the rigbt or the ability to judae whether or not a child out to live. The decision, he added, certainly should not rest with tbe infant's parents, who are often confused or in shock, and likely to follow the advice of the fU"St authority they consult. "Who makes the decision?" be wondered. aby Jane Doe, he reminded the audience, was born with spinal bifB ida, an abnormally small head. and excessive fluid in the brain. The infant's pa rents refused to allow the child to underso suraery; while they did not request that the infant's life-support systems be cut ofT, they preferred to "let nature take iu course... The case of Ba by Jane Doe, Dybwad asserted, is one of civil rights. "How do you know the value of a child?" be asked. Especially harmful to the parents' dilemmas and to the public's understandins of Baby Jane Doe and related cases, Dybwad warned, is the misleading language used to describe such procedures, pbruing wbicb makes killing an infant sound like a humanitarian act of mercy. ..The euphemistic term··Cuthanuia" is improperly applied to puttin& an infant to death. 'Euthanasia' means allowing a dyins person a good death, ". be argued. " We're not spealcing of infants who are dying, or born with such severe disabilities as, say, totalabsenceofa brain. We're talking abOut infants who can live." ~r­ tainly, be pointed out, "imposing death on infants is a totally different matter" from euthanasiL He called for "somethioa alcin to 'truth in advertisins: • M'AIIowing the child todie'means 'forbiddina the child to live,' -be said . "In literature we encounter prejudice and severe ianorance qainst the mentally retarded." As black people in the Southern states used to be considered inferior and expendable, be theorized, so are mentally handicapped infants now viewed.

Do parents of a retarded child have a rifbl to decree that,their child be placed tn an institution? Should a retarded child who has been closed out of his family be able to find foster parents? Dybwad, in order to illustrate a problem of this type, related the case of Philip Becker, a California boy who was born retarded, and whose parents placed him in an institution and denied him the hean surgery be needed. The court ruled in favor of the parents, and, Dybwad said, "it became the law of the land that a child could be put to death to preserve the sanctity of a family to which the child had never belonaed." Thanks to concerted efTons. Dybwad concluded, Philip is "free" at last, living with foster parents, recovered from heart suraery. and playing handball. But the boy "had been sen tenced to death by his parents." A who do not wish to take the child into their borne," be asserted, "but, by the same token, we have no right to lr;eep a child in an institution because his parents do not want bim." Many people have the idea that a retarded child can be detrimental to fam ily life, as well as an destructive of family unity. Dybwad dismissed this notion as an outdated. iJnorant belief. "The University of Wiscon in recently presented strong evidence in the other direetion," he related. "Contrary to previously published findinp, the majority of the pt.renu studied felt that dealing with a rttarded child had made them stronger. notwithstanding chronic sorrow.* H owever many great trides may have been made on the area of research regarding handicapped children, tbougb , public belief is still vastly influenced by the media's attitude toward mental retardation and toward the: government's role in related iuues. Dybwad was distre sed by the treatment the Baby Jt.ne Doe case bad been given by Wo/1 Strtc't Jourrtol and ~ Nrw York 7imu. Tltr Wo/1 Strut Joumol. he recalled, had stated in an editorial that "they wanted federal busybodies out of the cue." TIN Nr~• York TriMs referred disparaaingly to "Baby Doe's Bi& Brother. • ' "No one h"f' objected to aovernment rulin.& on vaccination or education,'" Dybwad argued. " We do have Bi& Brother," he admitted, "and many of us are glad we have his protection." Dybwad praised proposed laws wb ich aim to protect the rtghts of handicapped infants;1aws which will prevent discrimination against any disabled Individual, ensurina the disabled the same riahts u t.ny other human&, and the same medical care. Retarded people, he stressed, can lead live• that. 1n their own way, an u bendlcial u the lives of people of normal mtellip<nce. " It 11 all too euy to undervalue the lives of handicapped children," he warmed. " We have underestimated the caplldty of mentally deficie nt individuals to live meaninafullives. You can have a meaninafullife," he emphuiud. "even if it isn' aiven to you to ao to the hbr~ on unday and read the latest novel. 0 n,. 11 How do you know the value of a child? 11 Too often, Dybwad accused, co urts ianore the buic rights of the child, electins to bow inJtll,ad to the will of the parents, in the n~ of prescrvi'!* the strenBth and independence of famihes. "That 'I a. laudable intent,· Dybwad admitted, "but in some cues these child· ren are not part of the family . We are defending the parents, and foraettina about the child . In every one of these cases, we're dealina with a human bei~, with riahts separate from those of htS parents." - If possible, be advised, families should receive retarded children into their homes. If the family cannot cope with a retarded child, the child should ~free to be placed in a foster home, and not be doomed 10 an institution.

KERSHNER " W e ' r e not in hospice care to be 'good guys' or because it's the work of the angels. We're doing this because its good medicine - and it works. It is people getting into the trenches and working with patients who have unmet needs." This is bow .Or. Robert Milch describes the motivation of physicians and other health care professionals who get involved in hospice care. Milch is the medi_cal directorofHo_spice Buffalo, Inc.. and clinical assista'n t professor of surgery at UB. Hospice refers to the specialized program of care that assists people with advanced cancer to live meaningfu l, painfree lives when palliati-ve care is indicated. The first comprehensive conference on hospice care in the region wilfbe held April 2~27 in Buffalo. Dr. Milch is one of its organizers and will present its first medicine workshop ·(see This Week's calendar for more details). Dr. Milch explained that he got interes ted in hospice care in much the same way that others have - t hrough d irect experience with patients with advanced. int racta ble cancer ... 1 th ink that anyone who deals with these patients has got to be interested in new ways oJ; pain and symptom control, .. he stated. Referring to the ori&ins of t he concept of hospice car<, Milch observed , " Histo rically, cancer patients have been the ones whose needs were least well met by the health care system. They've always been the patient in the last room at the end of the hall with the curtain drawn closed.". He added, " I would like to see the needs of this patient population met. rd like to see quality care given to I hem. The rest will take care of itself. " The need for more expertise in the area of symptom control according to Dr. Milch, also contributed to the development of the hospice care concept. Dr. Milch eloquently described what distinguishes hospice care from the traditional health care goals of "investigate, diagnose, treat, cure." "The fact that these patients are dying is an emphasis that is thrust on us," be explained. "You will very rarely hear those in hospice work refer to their patients as 'terminally ill'- it's meaningless. They are really patients with a shortened life expectancy or advanced malignant disease. But as soon as you use the label 'terminally ill,' traditional care givers begin to withdraw. Hospice puts the emphasis not on the dying but on the living. The emphasis has to be on the living because that is what these people are doing. Let the others treat the tumor, we11 treat the patient." hat treatment not only includes ways to relieve the pain and symptoms of the disease but also spiritual and psych~ logical care of the patient. And again, unlike the traditional approach of medicine, psychological and social support for tbe patient's family is an essential part of hospice care.

Tht tekphone is located in the City of Three-hour uaiaina sessions on Acqu ired l•mune DertClieftcySyndromrand tekpboaecou'n· Remembering when he first got involved with Hospice Buffalo, Dr. Milch told how he was asked by Dr. Tom Doeblin of the local American Cancer Society to coordinate the annual conference for physicians in 1977. Their annual meeti ngs typically were attended by W-80 physicians. When Milch said that he thought hospice care would be a great theme for the meeting, he was met with some skepticism. Few thought the idea would attract very many people. Dr. Milch confidentially made a bet with Charlotte Shedd, founder of Hospice Buffalo, Inc., that more than 100 would attend. He would donate a certain amount to the organization for every person under 100 that attended the meeting, while she would si milarly donate to ·Hospice Buffalo an amount for every person over 100. To their ph:asant surprise, attendance at the meeting far exceeded both of thei r expectations. Shortly after, Dr. Milch signed on as the medical director of Hospice Buffalo. The local hospice movement took off with the support it got from the community. Buffalo General Hospital offered a five-bed palliative care unit to Hospice Buffalo . .. Here's a private corporation supporting a community group in a totally unique a nd previously untried form of health care delivery - that's different ," Dr. Milch remarked , smiling. In I 979, Hospice Buffalo was designated one of New York State ·s demonst ration projects. Today, Hospice Buffalo, Inc .• provides treatment and consultation to over 200 people eacb year, 8 per cent of the total terminally ill cancer patients in Erie County. It has 13 paid staff at its corporate office not far from UB's School of Medicine. Three physicians, including Dr. Milch, o(fer. their services, as well as five home care nurses, two social workers and an occupational th erapist. Also providing hospice care services are a nutritionist, a psy· chologist consultant, a pastoral care coordinator and a bereavement counselor. Hospice Buffalo gave over 300 presentations last year. Besides benefitting cancer patients and their families , hospice care has a direct benefit to society as well by reducing the high cost of care for these patients. According to some studies, the cost of care for dying patients may be twice that for other seriously ill patients, with the costs increasing as the probability of survival decreases. Because hospice care attempts wb~never possible to place patients in their own homes, the medical costs associated with hospital and institutional care are avoided. "It was not until we did a retrospective cost analysis for the insurance companies (after spending two yean living on public contributions), that they agreed to cover the expenses of hospice care," Dr. Milch pointed out. "We looked at SO patients under traditional care in the last six inonths oflife, and determined it had cost $6,800 peF patient. Then we compared this to the cost for SO patients under hospice care, primarily at home - and it cost $3,200 per patient. Hospice care is cost effective.,.. sclina wilt be btkl April I'· April 29. and May 6. Interested.. volun1ccn shoukt call &II-AIDS for more: informatiora.

Susan Russ, the overall coordinator, Cathy Hanrahan, the assistant coordinator. a nd Daniel Farstad are among dozens who helped organize the conference." he said. " We were searching for a way to communicate to the professional and lay public not only what hospice is all about. but what it does.

The fascinating story behind the collapse of the Australian and Tasmanian governments as a result of popular elections was described by Philip Tighe at the Environmental Studies Center in the Ellicott Complex last Friday. He and his 0 wife, Roslyn Tapti·n, are visiting research scholan from Griffith Univenity. Brisbane, Australia. Working under Dr. Lester Milbrath, direc1or of the Center, they are both finishing.their dissertations here. His thesis studies the effect.s of the new environmental politics on the Australian government. It all staned in 1980 when the Tasman· ian H yd ro-Eiectric Commiss•on proposed a major dam to be built in a pristine wilderness area in southwest Tasmania. Tasmania is a 26,000 square mile island just to the south of Australia's largest cities of Melbourne and Sydney. The Hydro-Electric Commission wanted Lhe dam for its electricity generation. even though it would flood a unique and strik· ing mountainous area with deep gorges. waterfalls. famou whitewater rivers. Its primeval rain forests of giant. 2~year~ old trees is one of the rarest ecosystems and oldest forests in the world. Mr. Tighe eloquently described how ~ the con troversy transformed the mall and little known Tasmanian Wilde.rness Society into one of the most inOuential and popular organizations in Australia. When the society learned of the plans to dam the Franklin River, its vigorous lobbying of the State Government of Tasmania brought the controversy to the mcdia'5 aneotion. After a year of indecision and hearing arguments on both ides, theTa man ian government legislated a compromise; dam an adjacent river in the same wilder· ness area and make the Franklin River a national park. That's when things took an unexpected tum. Tighe explained. "The upper house of the government. though elected every six years, is a body that normally rubber stamps the legislation oft he elected lower house of state parliament. This ti_me, however, the upper house rejected the compromise, resulting in a govcmmenlal dead-lock. Elections were called. leading to the defeat of the party in power and the dismissal of the Tasmaman premier."' The new government, however. supr.:'i:.~a~:/am and prpmptly legislated At the time. Philip and his wife Ros were Center for Environmental Studies masters students at the University of Tasmania. Beginning as interested observers. they soon joined the campaign to save the wilderness area. be Wilderness Society saw no alternative but to take the issue to aU the people of Australia. "They obtaiDed unpreadcntcd media coverqe wbcn they successfully uaaed dor.ens or T Vietnam-<ra rallies across Australja that involved tens of thousands." Mr. Tighe remarked. . . In the meantime, Tighe explained to the lunch hour group, the state government had secretly brought in equipment and had started clearing and bulldozing. The most effective political tactic by the "Greenies" was the "Blockade," which lasted almost four months. Also named the "Duckic Aotilla" (after the fanciful resemblance of the yellow rubber rafts to children's "rubber duck:ies"), huodmdt of people on rafts floated out in an unbroken line across the water when: dam construction wu to commcnee. 1be go...,mment'l planned blocking or the river was, fittingly. met by a citizen's blockade or the government. In full view of the media, a construe· lion barge swtpt over one protestor, while on another day. a police boat col· lided with a barge while patrolling for protc tor ~ Many prote tors chained themselves to barges, crane and mach in· cry, while othcn plaeed themselves in the pat.h of bulldozcn. Attention focused for a shon Lime on another incident at the Hydro-Ekclrir Commission's tall modern hcadquartcn building in Hobart, Tasmania's laraest city. One Sunday, someone turned on fire hydrants on all noon of the building. Ironically, the agency that planned to flood the Franklin was itself flooded . Isolated extremist wercswpecled, although the commission claimed tllatthe Wilderness Society was to blame. Over 2,600 blockaders participated in the blockade, with almost half of those, or 1272. arrested. Most of the proteflors were working men and women, 1/3 of them from Tasmllnia. Among the arres1ed, •BC> ranged from 14 to 79. "Films of the event ..-.re seen in 32 coun· tries." Philip Tiahe pointed out. "It brought international suppon for then cause...

Aho by coincidence, federal election were scheduled to O<Xltlr in the mtd t of the civil d•sobedicnco and mu• arrest . Wilderness Society campaigntng continued fevcri hly right up to the clectton. The opposition federal party took a stand against the dllltl. and to the cnvtronmentall>ts' joy, it won a land>lide victory. Events took an even mort curious turn again.

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 Student Association (SA) president-elect is the daughter of a Rockland County politician and was raised on the hustle and drive of one campaign , after another. " But I never thought I would be involved in politics, •• insists the J9·yearold . " My dad had me picked out of the nine kids in our family as the one who would go into politics - and I always said •no way'." ·· And f~ r the g.reater part of her life she did man e to avoid the political arena. During hi school at Ramapo Senior High, sbe c nneledjer high voltage energy into 0 rscback riding, track events and mode expressionist dance. And she still had enough left to pour into her academics, so that she grad uated two years ahead of sc hedule. After a year at Rockland Community College where she was "mildly active politically," she transferred to UB "because people had told me it was a politically active schoo l. ... Bul it wasn'l until her second semester here that she really caught th e political bug. Last February, she rode down to Albany with SA to protest tuition hikes, and " I really just dove into it," she says. • 1 never planned to.", She ran for Student Association of State University (SASU) delegate that month, and after winning, .. lived , breathed and ate SASU" for a year. Followina that victory the same year abe d o - u one of five United States StUdent Association (USSA) delegates, a board member of. the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), and a member of State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor Clifton WhartoQ's Committee on Auxiliary Services. "I think I wu really just rip-roaring to act moving on something at that time," she e~tplains . "I was searching and that wu just what came along - it could have been another O'llanization or club just as euilr." But try to tell her r.roud dad John McAievey thaL "He ltkes to think he mapped the whole thing out," she laughs. Her mother died while Jane was young. A double major in political sciepce and American studies, McAlevey ~lans to follow the political co urse as far as it will take her. " I'm going to stay in politics either as a public figure or an o rganizer." The path to that goal is not so clear. " Maybe law school but maybe not. It's not ind ecisio n, it's just th at so metimes all it takes is political know-how and th at doesn't necessarily come from law school," she clarifies. J:ither way, following he r expected gradu ati on next May, she plans to take some time off to hitchhike around the U.S. and Europe, downhill ski, .hike in A "Every student should have guaranteed safety." the woods, and buy a motorcycle ... l"m lucky because I feel like I can do that since I'm two·years ahead of the game." But "there's really too much to do now to think about that," McAlevey stops herself. Her plans for next year's SA are fo unded in "getting everythiJ18 organized. I want the proper channeiO of CO'!'· munication flowing and I want to be able to delegate authority confidently. If that happens the otbensoall will be~hat much easier." The major objective of a vital SA for McAievey are "to make students more of a priority at U B. There are a lot of things done ben: without taking students into consideration.'" she points o uL Improving student life by urging the An emergeocy p'hone system in the opening of a Rathskeller in Norton by next fall, holding happy hours .regularly, parking lots, beucr lighting, and locks on the inside of the dorrnito·r y bathroom and "just gelling the students together" is doors are among her aims. "I want to also pan of her philosophy. As only the oecond woman SA pres- rna~ the administration take responsiident since the org.anization was founded bililjy for paying for safety. Every student in 1962, McAlevey plans to be especially spc!'uld be g.uaranteed the right of safety. alert to women's problems at the Univer- r SA shouldn't have to pay for it." sity, " the major one of which is safety," Other minority problems are also a priority for McAievey. An avowed feminist, she is piued against d iscrimination against women and feels that makes her sensitive to discrimination qainst other minorities ... Being a woman mates me beuer able to understand what other minorities feel like - I can't feel exactly but it belps," she sums up. 0 Student services relocation another step in enhancement of student life, By JOHN K.

Many of their actions arc, at best, odd and very often defy logical explanation. I was hoping that you, Mr. Manners, as guardian of the hoi poUoi and custodian of impeccably good -taste could assist me in my attempts to decipher this University's strange mores. - PERPLEXED IN PORTER TrtWel 01J CAmpus The majority of aay ...._.. day is spent WllltiJI&. Studeots walk from clutroom to ca.room, from b'braly to cafetoria, from F'maocial Aid to Student Accounts to Admissions and Records and back again to Finan· cial Aid three or four . times, and from the Spine to a parkin& lot or Bluebird bill op. As with any other aspect of ctvilized life, certain unwritten- but understood rules govern the oocially acceptaltle on-<:ampus traveller. For instance: I • When walk. ing alon& the Spine, espe· cially on tbe second floor, never walk alone but always in a group UB students crinF at the thoilpt of bavin& to puU 'open-. door and will travel to avoid those oa which they must curt physical force bef~m using.

An Olick family neighbor agreed with this assessment. As a high jumper, Steve's frequent refrain was a sturdy. ~ Raise the bar a little higher.~ The statement could easily serve as a metaphor for his vi&orous embracing of life, ~a challenae to see how far one could go," tbe speaker added during the Mass of Christian Burial at St. John the Baptist Church. ~steve. I'm sure, is still saying, do not fear, raise the crossbar. ~u you hang on to life and cling to security, you're never aoing to live arall," said Rev.

Included are two large works which depict several present and past- University faculty and staff members, including famed literary critic and professor of English ·Leslie Fiedler; novelist John Barth, formerly in residence here; Olga Bernal of the Modern Languages and Literat~res faculty; Carlota Baca, former assistant to the president; Jim Blackhurst, now with the UB Alumni Office; John Sullivan; AI Cook, former chairman of the UB English Department, and Norm Holland, former James H. McNulty Professor of English now at the University of Florida at Gainesville. But Breverman clearly does not - k mere likc_ness or other forms of repraen- tational verisimilitude. For illllaDCC, in the very larae diptych c.m.J 1 and c.btll II. seen here, Breverman '"returna to Ilia University collequa and coiiiJDittee meetings for his subject matter," writes Dr. J-ph I.

" But the pleasure of recognition is double-edged.~ continues Fradin, for these familiar men and women are some: how mysteries not identities, finally unknown and unknowable, despite their high particularization, to one another and to the viewer. Even wben engaged in apparent conversation, they can only share a common space in silent isolation." .. For, as Fradin says earlier, Breverman's apparent quest is to paint wbat the artist "cannot see - the mystery inside things, the process by which men create and are created by the spaces they occupy, the way men inhabit the world. " . .. No oDe who has lived with Breverman 'I recent work can fail to be haunted by the human preoencea they evoke or fail to see that his collllllitment to an is iDKparable, from Ilia commitment to the greater human eaterprise, to the mysteries of motive, relatioaship and telfbood, to the world of hlliiWI isolation ucl lou, quest and questionina-. many horizontally arranaed r~ lso included are several selfwhile 10 brilliant!f keepiq up VISual ponraits.

" . As for other works described in the catalog. Fradin writes that Breverman clearly wishes to d isturb the viewer, to shake up the comp1acency implied in viewi ng artwork. or more specifically the renderi ngs of human beings with all their shadings and complexities. Writes Fradin: " He wan ts to disturb the vie wer, d islocate him. force him to go beyond a more passive aesthetic response, to ask questions: Where are these people? What are they doing? Why are they doing it? What is their r:elation to o ne another? What does it all mean? These pictures demand the viewer's act ive engagement; they challenge him to enter the picture .~ Harvey Breverman is one of the most distinguished painters and printmakers in the United States. Born in Pittsburgh in 1934, he studied at Carnegie-Mellon University:s School of Fine Aru. He bas taught there, at Ohio University, and has been visiting artist at Illinois State University, and at the Falmouth School of An in Cornwall, Ensland. He has taught at UB since 1961. His works are included in the permanent collections of such ml(jor institutions as the Museum Mndern An in New York, the Whitney Museum, the Butler Institute of American An, the AlbrightKnox An Gallery in Buffalo, the Minnesota Museum of An, the Library of Congress, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. the Bradford City An Museum ia Eaa· land and St. Catharines District Ans Council in Ontario. The UB professor. who . is widely reprded for his dedication u a teacher and enormous oenaitivity, has received grants from the Ttffany Foundation, the Netherlands government, and the New York State Council on the Arts.

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.

WORK n anniversary celebration often has a w~.y of allowing people to reflect upon the past, recognize their strengths, come_to grips with their .weaknesses, and look to the future with hopeful expectation. And so it is with UB's Graduate School of Social Work, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next week. As the song goes, the anniversary is a bridge wer troubled waters, providing the impetus for faculty and staff of the. School to take a hard and honest look at its problems, to underscore its strengths, and to organize and rally for its very survival. A in the academic and national arenas: the dean of social work at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the dean of health and social work at c&lUomia State University at Fresno, and the executive director of the National Hemophilia Association. In partial recognition of a need to showcase its accomplishments and that of its graduates, fortheftrst time in recent history, the School has asked an alumnus, William Morris, deputy state commissioner of mental health, to speak at its commencement in May. Under the leadership of Interim Dean Hugh Petrie; who also heads the Faculty of Educational Studies, this pas~ear bas proven to be a transitional one for the School, in wbich..faculty have taken considerable responsibility for its fa~ through laying groundwork for future changes - a year, submits Petrie, in which faculty have. ~proven they can walk" before they begin to run. o meet changing accreditation standards and to address the dissatisT faction of some facuJty over curriculum, beginning this fall . the School will offer a more generic, broad-based training for its Social Work students can ~ke as cleolives, and bas contacted about a halfdozen departments on the malter. Though accreditation standards dictate. that direct practice courses be taught by Social Work faculty, such areas as research methods or policy studies could easily be taught by those from other disciplines, Petrie relayed. · The decision to try to bring resources from elsewhere in the University to bear on the pressing needs of the School was one highly recommended by the Academic Affairs Task Force, chaired by U8 Law Dean Thomas Headrick, which reviewed the performance of the School and recommended its continuance as weU . as future courses of action. · As suggested by the Task Force, the School has also formed an advisory ~ commillee composed of academics, prao~ titioners and community representatives, i one that Petrie found ~enormously help!; ful,w especially regarding cumculum f matters, and one he hopes wiU become a ~long-term feature" of the School. Again in line with Task Force recommend allons, the School is preparing to <>!fer adjunct appointments to field pen<':.&DCI who give clinical instruction to stud<.nts. To meet the Iauer objective, the School's Appointment, Promotions and Tenure Commillee bas been asked to develop a proposal by the end of this academic year that will outline criteria and procedures for making such appointments, relayed Bernard Greenblatt, interim &ISOCiate clean. ~1 bave no doubt that the adjunct appointments will strenatben the School, w Greenblatt aaaeaaecl.

As high tech becomes more important (in the health care field) so will the role of the social worker in treatment," Interim Last spring, there was every chance that the School, which bad dwindled to 12 full-time faculty, and had allendant accreditation problems, a low University profile and a mediocre at best research record, would not be around to celebrate its SOth. However, faculty and prominent community supporters made a convinc· ing ~to the administration for its continued existence. For one thing, its supporters noted, the School has the only graduate program in social work in Western New York. In its absence, the closest programs would be·at Syracuse, whose school of social work the UB School helped establish almost40 years ago, and at the University of Toronto. list of UB SociJI Work graduates, moreover, reads like the Who Who of the local social work community.

The associate dean credited Professor Isaac Alcabes, chair of the professional advancement committee of the local. chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, for helping to spearhead the continuing education effon. Though not technically part of that effort, the School has, for the first time, also sponsored a Dean ·s Seminar Series _....this semester, under the coordination of Professor Paul Edwards, featuring presentations by prominent guests and UB faculty on topical issues of social concern. Next year, Greenblatt said, the School plans to develop a proposal for a thirdyear ccrtiftcate progTam in administration. Roughly 2S to 33 per cent of MSW graduates go into administrative work within a few years of graduation. The program will be geared to help these professionals develop their administrative skills so they "don't have to do it by bumpi"' shins and learning the hard way," Greenblatt remarked. Hopefuby, Petrie added, tbe program can give social workt;p the skills to· write grant proposals, to better understand the political context In which administrative policy decisions are made, and to better deal with various kinds of computer generated data. Possibilities for other future growth include incrcued use of area health care facilities for clinical training of students. A chance exists that the School may get a line at Deaconness Hospilal, which is being convened into a long-term care facility, Greenblatt flid. "There may be an opportunity for additional teaching hospital arrangements in addition to Deaconness •..,.. ·be added , emphasizing though, that any expansion would bave to receive the imprimatur of the new dean. be School, tbe men relayed, bas no plans to return to the brand of social activism that it experienced during the late 1960s and early 70s, an activism that dramaticai:y changed the emphasis of its curriculum and was reflected in its shortlived name change to the School of Social Policy and Community Service. . But this is not to say that the School is not "socially concerned," emphasized Petrie. There's a distinct difference. The University in general has tended to oscUlate between the extremes of fervent social activism and mild indifference, he indicated. What must be attained, be said, is a "balance" between the two. "Professional schools cannot be out there day after day enaaged in partisan politics. On tbc other hand, tbe School certainly should be involved with policy analysis and research, areas which have implications for social welfare. There is a ftDt line that any professional school m111t walk bet ween an inappropriate attempt at inOuencia& tbinp venus a lfand isolation," tbc interim dean obecnoed. Much of tbe social concern of tbc f..:ulty is expraaed in unsuna extracurricular activities, noted Greenblatt . Faculty have been active in a numbet of rojecu. includina tbe He&lth and Weiare Coalition of Erie County, Lacka- T r. wauna's Friendship House and HOME, to name but a few. This year, the School's Field Service Director .Bertha Laury and Greenblatt organized ~be Western ew York Coalition on Adolescent Preanancy, a support network for professionals workin& with tee.nage parents. Laury, in fact, will soon stan an appointment on a Governor's Task Force that will study the problem. Faculty involvement in community projects often goes unrecosnited, Greenblatt said , but nevertheless is important to students wbo look to faculty as role models. Another subtle way the School is attempting to express its social concern is by worlcing throu'h Laury to establish field placemenu wtth agencies that serve , a h~b proportion of minority clients. Currently, the School places its students in S2 agencies, 20 per cent of which serve predominantly black or third world populations. ben a new dean is named, probably W by mid-May, he or she will be greeted by a faculty which appears to have taken strides to overcome the inenia caused, in part, by years offi5fal in tabilit,, a depleted core of faculty and a lack o consistent, permanent leadership. The School was concerned that it misht be better oiJifit maintained a holding pattern o as "not to tie the hand of the new dean," Petrie acknowledged. But the interim de.an "pu bed har¢." for • movement, be explained, because' he felt the School"had been waitinafor so many ycan"for one thinaor the other, be it for permanent leadership or the results of the Task Force reJ.>On. that he tho~t it counterproductive to "wait any lonaer. "Since curriculum is basically a faculty concern, anyway, it made sense to begin the process, but not to aet so focused that therewouldbenoroomforanewdeanto have any impact.· Also, Petrie pointed out that since a number of faculty in the School have temporary appointments and it 11 anticipated that the School will get one, or po sibly two new lines, a new dean, if he or she chooses, will be"able to appoint up to one-third of the total number of faculty." As for any pecial qualification the new dean should possess, above all else, Petrie feels tbc individual should have an "appreciation for the creative tensions that always exist between tbc disciplines that undc<Jird tbc practice of social work and the demands and needs of tbc practicina community." In line with tbe President's emphasis on ii>CIUIOd research suppon. Greenblatt added. thai tbe ""'clean should "facilitate a areater research and publication effort on tbe pan of faculty and also bclp to produce more non-Stau arant fundina to allow tbe proaram to JO beyond the level at which tbc Univemty will support it.· · 0 Two alumni will be honored T h e SOth Anniversary Commemoration Committee will honor two distinguished Buffalonians who are alumni or the School of ocial Work for their out tandina contributions to the area of social ,.,.I fare at a banquet April 9 In the Hyatt Reaency. .

Perhaps Allen is best remembered by the community at large for her 'Hops' recalled as pioneer and teacher in social work tield contribution to the Angola camp, now called the Buffalo News-Rotary Oub Crippled Children's Camp. When she first assumed ito directorship in 194S, Allen recalled in her taped interview, the BJ JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI children t seems appropriate that Allen Hall, the home of the School of Social Work, should carry the name of a woman who . did pioneering work in the field of social work; a woman who was a dedicated teacher during her 31-year tenure at UB; a woman who ultimately ospital, an exposure which influenced earned national acclaim and her decision to specialize in psychiatric praise from Margaret Mead social work.

She was also a paradoxofsorts; aninnovatorwhoclung tenaciously to the traditional values she cherished values she strove to instill in her atUdc~tl. That was important to her, C House, founded by Nobel Laureate Jane Add~ms, w~o insti~uted t~~ _practice of locatmg social serYlce faal~t1es close ~o ~hose wbo need ~bern,_ form_mg a type of good ne1ghbor relationship. · In a . tap~d inter':iew. made . in cooperation w1tb the Umverslly Arch1ves 17 months before her death, Allen recalled with am~mcnt that ~h~n the because as old fashioned as it may now Qu.een of Romarua asked perm•ssto!l to sound, she sought in her own way to positively influence their lives and help build strength of character. Allen came to UB in 193S at the age of 39,just u ber term expired as preaident of the American Association of Psychiatric Social Workers. At tbe time, Dr. Niles ~nter, a sociologist, an ordained milllller and the lint Social Work dean, hired Allen to help build tbe School's proaram. which had just,cut iu umbilical cord to the Sociol"'Y Department, ~~~~ a separate unit, and was tllilialiD& a oecond year of graduate ~tudy.

She earned a BA at neiabborina Smith College with a dual major in socioloiY and mathematics, and also received • master's from iu School of Social Wort. While still in school. Allen worked u a CIIIC worker at Boston Psychopathic VISit Hull House, the unpretentu.>w made no bones ~bout servmg her maJesty 1n t~e cafetena. ln a 1960 Buffalo N~w• article that celebrated the centennial of Addams' birt~, Allen remembered that the soft-vo1ced and ·~ways _gracious" woman treat~ her chents wllh the same courtesy she d1d the queen; a lesson that seems to have left an i"!'elib~ imprint on her own dealings w1tb clients. Allen collid be very much the New England preppie, observed Social Work Professor Paul Edwards. Sbe defillitely "had her standards," lilted mannen, and expected her stud~nu to oblerve theirs. When someone met with her strona disapproval, she would brush off the penon by remarking that be or she was "vulpr and vacuous." · On the other hand, Allen strove to establish personal relationshi~ with her studenu, frequently soc:ializ.ing with them at home. So much so, in fact, that her bouse came to be known u the "Hops Hilton." "Sbe was a fle~tible, aivina and interesting woman, "Edwardarec:alls,one who allowed those around her to "experience their humanism." But pan ofbcrcharm wu that sbc was also quite a cbaraetcr.

And what never ceased to amaze Edwards was that whartwr city they were in, Hops always knew someone there. "They lost the pattern" after her, commented Fran Burke former administrative "assistant at th~ School as she recalled with obvious affection the unique characteristics o( Allen. "She was a very, very btigbt but earthly woman;... a ...perfectionist"inmanyareas, includingberuseofthe English language, yet she seldom travt:led in or outside tbe classroom without her two dogs as escorts, and had no compunction about toting her own supply of spirits to conferences or the lilte. handicapped with able-bodied campers. For instance, she recalled that during wrestling matches, ~if one child was blind, the other would be blindfolded so both could fight fine." One factor that contributed to Allen's successful directorship of the camp, the Buffalo N~w• noted in an article in l9S6, was her "insistence that all children. regardless of handicap, be made to fed a responsible part of camp life and are helped to participate in as many activities as possible." " I~ the same article, Allen was quoted as saymg thatthe basiC goal ofCradl~ Beach • was to teach the cam pen "to hve and work comfortably with each other, with pride in one's wort and play, and consideration for the desires and needs of others." Allen's quite stout and somewhat "formidable" a)1l>carance never stopped the children from "gravitating to her,recalls Burke. "lbey adored her. ~ Jack C. Anthony, a protege of Allen's who was camp director in 1979, tbe year of her death, told the N~w• that "a lot of the nice things that go on at the NewsRotary camp can be traced back to practices she staned. based on treatin.g "Allen was an ~~resting and givmgwoman . :who had her standards." -PAUL EDWAJlDS Leaend has it that while tbc School of Social Work was located downtown in the old "fortreas" at 2S Niapra Square, Allen. bobblina with a lwoltCll foot. would talr.e a taxi to the Statler to use iu ladies room rather than uoe a facility close to her ofTICC that offended her se•ibilities.

Slowly but steadily she changed aU that and more; adding "real" beds and running water, bolstering qualifications for camp counselors, and developing more child· each individual person as an important person wbo has dignity, whatever his ability or disability." Allen's leadership of the camp won national attention and a visit by longtime friend Margaret Mead, who praised her work. In acknowledgment of her contributions at the camp, the Buffalo N~w• gave her its Outstandina Citilcn A-rd in l9S1, the year she retired u director, though she continlled aDOlber decade as director of cue work.

Six weeks later, when he again regained consciousness, he was told that the decision had been made that school would be his therapy. Tubercular menmgitis had erased all memory of his high school days and his home town. It had paralyzed his left side. But it had not daunted the spirit of the man, a young war veteran who wanted his life to hold, value. A man, who, more than 20 years later, received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. • Robert H. Gumtow, now an assistant professor of pharmacy and pharmaceutics in the School of Pharmacy at UB, was once an Army soldier stationed in Korea. Because he was a member of the military when the disease struck him down, he was able to struggle back up to his feet with the help of five years of free tuition. After nine months in a Buffalo hospital, Gumtow enrolled in UB's School of Pharmacy. Concepts he could understand, but he haddifficultywithmemorization. He had to return to secondary education textbooks to relearn old lessons. He'sstill ignorant of segments of American history. Upon graduation with a bachelor's degree in 1962, Gumtow was asked .bY Dr. Gerhard Levy, now a distin.guished WHITE GOLD A ~[:'.C:;;~f :'{B.~~~~',:'t~~n!~ki:!~ 4 2 5 a Ephron (Poem Boob.

When Gumtow began teaching kinetics during the late 1960s, he realized that his students did not understand what he was trying to explain to them. Believing their confusion resulted from the ideas being presented as equations, he designed a bench model that demonstrates first order kinetics in lhree-<limension. The model, which is composed of beakers and tubes and rods, imitatelthe functioning ofthe human body. With the model, students can now watch how a drug affects the body and vice versa. Kinetics, Gumtow said, are time"in.dependent processes. Some important first order kinetic .processes in the body include disintegration , dissolution, diffusion, absorption, distribution, and elimination. One of the laboratory experiments usng the model that Gumtow has designed imitates renal failure.

It - ~tation eliminated must be determined. On the second day, when the students return to the lab with their dosing regimens, they find a surprise. Gumtow fixes the model to simulate a 50 per cent re nal impairment (kidney failure) . GUU~tow explained that when the kidneys are not functioning properly, they do not remove a drug from the body as quickly as normal, so the drug remains in the body longer than expected. When the students begin to administer drug doses according to their schedules, they discover signs of toxicity. "We let them discover the problem," Gumrow said . "They stop dosing, reevaluate the situation and adjust the regirrten. "The benefit of putting them in a meaningful situation like this is !O allow them the opportunity to make a decision on·the-spot . This is an important part of an education. This is how I think we should train our people," Gumtow said. Recalling his college days, he said he was often bored with the lectures. He .wants to excite his students. He wants to involve them in their own education. He also believes that by having them work with the model, which some students nicknamed "George," they will better associate their classroom learning with real life. He also wants them to critically analyze drugs and dosages and to keep current ..;th the literature. He wants them t9 / realize that they will be respopsible for the drugs they dispense as pharmacists. He's had bisstudentibuydlet pillsaod bring them back to the lab to test them via the model to demonstrate to them that label instructions and accompanying pamphlets do not necessarily provide the truth.

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.

J&<lkson yesterday announced that t:he University had completed its investigation of charges of impropriety regarding statements contained in a December Affirmative Action Search Procedure Report submitted on behalf of the Communication Department. "Dr. William R . Greiner, interim vice president for academic affairs, acting as designee for the President, conducted a thorough examination of the charges regarding the accuracy of statements made in the Search Procedure Report,~ said J ack.son. · "As a result of the investigation, "he said, " Dr. Greiner determined that the Search Procedure Report contained inaccurate and care.less statements which tended to overstate the extent of the affirmative actiQ.n component in a recent personnel search cond11cted by the Department. In accordance with procedures specified in the State of New York /United University Professions Collective Bargaining Agreement, Dr. Greiner has taken disciplinary action by . reprimanding the department chairperson who, according to my understanding, bas received and S accepted this sanction." Referring to the disciplinary procedures authorized in Article 19 of the State/United University Professi"ns Collective Bargaining Agreement, Jaclt:son noted that they are designed to protect the rights of all affected persons through the exercise of careful due process. "It's time consuming," he said, "and results are announced in a manner to preserve the integrity of confidential recor<!s." Although Greiner noted that the incident had focused some general concerns regarding se.a rch procedures, he sa1d that he IS "persuaded that this institution is firmly commllted to and embraces the fundamental values and policies which have given rise to affirmative action procedures." Greiner added that he believes that "faculty in the Communication Department are committed to the principles of affirmative action and equality of access and that this incident has stimulated a reaffirmation of commitment and revitalization of effort regarding equality of access both within the Department and throughout the University." o State University of New\brk Adult students 'Non-traditional' scholars populate UB by night . .BJ WENDY CONUN hey come out at niaht. some have large circles under their eyes, and most fill up on inedi ble food from paper bags.

I can hardly find a friend here." While the majority of atudenu in the U.S. take their educations for granted, Alix can never forget what it means not to have the opportunity. Like the other adult students, he complained about the impingement of work on study time but pratsed it for giving the daily routine a dtversity. ~ere wu a real difference between going out and teaching, then coming here and learning." Adults Frompagel wun"t married. I lr.ind of lit in with the crowd. Now I guess l've<:bllnged." The unexpectedness of the situation also contributed to his feeling of uneue. ~~never expected to come back. I mean I enjoy the learning process, but I was happy to graduate and as far as I was concerned I was going to go on with my life- I wasn"t going back for nothing." ivenity could be one of tbe reasons which lured another adult student D back to school - but certainly not the imilarly, 26-year-old Mary Finley didn"t expect to be continuing her S education while worlcing - but she enjoys both. "I never really expected to go beyond my two-year degree in data processing at Erie Community College." Yet she found it necessary as a means of "increasing job security." A computer systems analyst for .the Greater Buffalo Press, Mary will have her degree in busi· ness management at the end of this semester after eight l.ong years of strug· gling for it. Juggling a schedule around"Ciasses and work is trying, Mary says, - the "ulti· mate in time management." But the working student does have advantages over the full-timers, she feels. "'What we might not take in a class we experience at work. lf you see something practiced in a work environment, you learn it a lot more readily." For unmarried Mary, there were plenty of incentives to go back to school. Her company paid for a good deal ofthe tuition and her boyfriend was "very understanding." However, .. , don't know how someone could do it with a famiJy and little kids,"the neatly dressed student acknowledges. Looking at shan-range incentives was what carried her through the long haul which will end in graduation. "You can"I look to the end of the tunnel until it's close. You can't even think about gra· duating while you're in the middle of everything. • That's good advice since the typical adult student spends anywhere from "six to eight to ten years working towards a degree, • according to Streiff. UB offers no shortcuts for its MFCdegrees, such as credit for experience or decreased credit hour requirements. ~1 really wouldn"t want them to," Mary insists ....When you're doina, it. you get mad that the professors expect so much f OUt of you. but when you're done, you're proud that you could meet their demands .." The ~re-aearing" often involved in goina back to school was less difficult for the youthful looking Buffalo resident. ·~My classes are predominantly with people my own aae. I feel comfortable and everybody is nice here. There's a camar· aderie at UB that I didn' expect to find." bile Norman Bapst and Mary Finley came to the University for some W of the more common reasons of this decade, there are others who don' fit the norm. Alix J. entered MFC because of a cal· ling. He wanted to earn enough money during the day to survive, and learn enouah at night to enable him to someday help his people back home in Cambodia. His plan is to complete medical school after earning an electrical engineering degree, then return to the communist· ruled country from which he Oed in 1980. ~It's like heU there, • he recalls. "My people are the poor victims of war. They suffer; there are a lot of sick people. Americans don' know how lucky they are." The 29-year-old spent five years in his country after the communist takeover in 1975. Ht recalls the hopelesmess that existed, saying ... there was nothing for me there." Educational institutions were closed down and he wu forced to give up his studies in literature to work in farm fields. An older brother who wu invited to attend UB on a scholarship about IS yearsaao sponsored the family's entrance mto the U.S., enabling them to come from the temporary refuge they had found in Thailand after riskin' mines and fighting to cross the Cambodtan bonder. After coming to Buffalo, Alix (real name withheld on request) worked as a tutor for a hi&h school Bilingual Educa· tion proaram duriJII.theday and doubled at Topa Markets on eveninp when he didn' have classes. ~u wu hard, but there was no other way," he says. ~we had no money, we had 11othina. • His situation made him far more moti· H..J>ert P. {SpiM/ Nqd vated than others, he believes. ~Like other adult students, I find that we are more serious. we have more reason to want to succeed.• This year Alix wu forced to quit both jobs in order to take classes offered only during the day and required fOr the eQii· neering major. The monetary strain this places him under is a real nteentive to graduate as soon u possible. "111 aradu· ate in four yean,"uys the third·ycar stu· dent. He took an averaae of 13 credits while worlcing his two jobs and enrolled in summer classes each year. "I can' afford more money or time."' The determined yo una man has turned away from literature for a number of rea· sons. The painfully real war scenarioo which played tbemaelves out before him caused !lim to lose that type of idealism. "Where it used to impress me, I now want to do something that is aoi~ to help somebody, • be says rmnJy. Dtfrteulties with the EJ11lish knauaae have also con· tributed to his CMJIIC in educational taste. His bacqround somehow pkces a barrier between himself and other stu· dent o, thouah. he notes. ~The way we only reason. Seventy-eight-year-old Hubert P. Nagel, or Spike as everyone calls him, has been talcing classes for the past nine years. Perhaps bis view of education is close to Alix's - one certainly can"t say he takes it for granted . ~I'm interested in almost any subject.

He chooses his courses and professors with leisurely care. ~I've had nine differ· ent instructors and I've had the cream of the crop. I look for a guy or gal who has won the Chancellor's Award (for excel· lence in teaching). Regular students don "t really have the leeway to choose u carefully as I do.

U.S. Sena1or Mark Hatfield (R.. Oregon) said Friday, Hatfield, in town to address a breakfast meeting sponsored by the Department of EdUcational Organization, Administration and Policy. said academicians must pursue enlightened investigation and research, as independently as possible from federal sponsorship. He also discussed ways in which U.S. land-grant colleges can teach basic agricultural techniques to the starving nations of the Third World, thus solvmg - or at least alleviating - a severe problem of worldwide food distribution. In discussing the arms race. Hatfield, author of Tht Causes of World Hunger and Freeze! How You Con Help. recalled the anguished remark ma~e by a principal character in Tom Stoppard's Rostn-~ crantz and Guildenstern Au Dead. the playwright's interpretation of Hamlet: .. There musl have been a time somewhere near the beginning when we could have said no ... He went on to describe the arms build-up and the present state of the U.S . economy. According to the Republican senator, a former college professor and a graduate of Stanford University , Washington economists are "now saying that the much touted recovery is a very fragile one." He explaine~ that these economists believe that "capital is being sucked out o( other countries, especially Third World countries, because of the strength of the dollar. • And. he added, "'the recovery is based UJlQn borrowed capital, $40 billion Oowing inlo the Uni- • ted Stales in a single year. If the dollar begins 10 decline, I hat capilal would be cut orr.·· He also cited this year's trade deficitofS69billionandaprojecledSI20 billion trade deficit next year as auguring very poorly for both the U.S. and the worldwide economy. Large percentages of savings pools must - and will continue to be - spent on servicing the debt, said Hatfield. "'We"re living in a very fragile period economically that could bring about collapse because we have a $1.6 trillion ..accumu/ated deficit today and by the year 2000 ... we will have a Sl.6 trillion deficit, in one year. or 30 percent of the budget. • Hatfieldexpressedconcemforwhathe called ""the mililary-induslrial-educational complex - more budgets today are being composed by the financial officcrs of major unive rsities, or programs are being developed, or applications for contracts are being adjusted, to take advantage of lhose millions and millions of dollan tha.t are available in the Department of Defense . . . . "" In so doi ng. I believe there is develop• ing I hal kind of a bond of fi nancial dependence, that is every bit as evident in the industrial, Co rporate world , whe~ those institutions are seductively being drawn into the web of federal money I hat begins to create a quiet , tranquil a.ttitude toward addressing some oflhe basic fun.damental issues involving global welfare. fare oft he instituion. then I think yo u are selling a portion of your freedom ... Hatfield also stressed the imponance of the humanities and of vigorous, inde- pendent investigation in university life. Here. Abraham Lincoln serves as a model of intellectual integrity. he commented. " } n Lincoln we can still catch a picture of the scope and breadth of learning in that motion-filled life of mid-19th century America. His self-education in the humanities gave him a mind that taught him to distinguish and accept, criticize and reject, not a mind that, sponge-like, absorbed the learning that catalogued books into holy bins for future use ... Turning to issues of global security. Hatfield said a nation's security is only panially a matter of .. hardware." Also involved are food , clothing. shelter and literacy. Too little attention is paid to the "causes .. of war and other world ills, he commented . adding thai Dwighl Eisenbower was the only American president to fully underStand that security is not based on hardware alone. In some coontries now receiving arms from I be U .S., "the largest arms peddler in the world ." and from other sources, .. babies are dying every two seconds ... The answers to this gri~vous situation lie in effecting better agrtcuhural techniques, one of the many aclions advocated by Hatfield as allerqatives to the arms build-up and I he lhreai lhis poses to world securi1y. "Today. the world produces enough food to feed every man. woman and child 3.000 calories a day. The average American consumes 3.500 calories a day. But . the loss between,he production end, the distribution end. the consumption. is so grea t. because there is a lack of infrastructure. roads, processing, preservalion, whatever .... In Chad, one is lucky to get 700 calories a day; much of the world is lucky to get 1200 calories a day. • In evaluating our arms policies, Hatfieldsaid,wemust"understandlhetradeoffs we are · making .. . What it costs to build one tank today could build classrooms to educate 30.000 children in the Third World. What it costs to build one modern aircraft fighter; could build 40.000 village pharmacies to deliver elementary heallh care to people who probably have never received it. "What I he world spends in 12 hours on arms today, could eradicate malaria from the face of the earth . Wbal the world spends in two weeks on arms could feed, clolhe. house and provide clean water to every man, woman and child ovt:r (lhroughoul) a year.a1field added thai "you don' have direct transfers of money to these causes. but you can build those foundations. those infrastructures, to deliver those services with that same ca pital. ..

Quoting the great Victorian novelist George Eliol . Hatfield told the Hearthstone Manor audience that .. Ideas are but poor ghosts until they become incarnate in a person." He added: " You ... in higher education hold a key to the welfare of the globe. to the very survival of the world which hangs in the balance today.During a question-and-answer session~ Hatfield said Democratic presidential candidate Waiter Mondale and former candidate Sen. John Glenn would make "fi ne" presidents.. adding that he does not know contender Gary Hart as well. Jesse Jackson is a figure of "'tremendous charisma •• and would make a strong vice p~ ­ sidenlial candidate in 1984. ("I don' 1hink the counlry is ready for a black president.'') He favors a six-year presidential term as an antidote to presidents necessarily constrained in their presidential term as an antidote to presidents necessarily constrained in their stat~­ manship. as they position 'themselves for re-election. He also said fd-rmer president Jimmy Carter " will e-ventually be given a higher assessment:" and that the coun.s should not be overboard in preventiil8 meetings of students who wish to voluntarily unite for prayer. He opposed the recent Senate bill to create a Constittltional amendment allowing public school prayer, however, adding that mandatory prayer in public schools should never be permitted . He admitted that be is frequently al odds with his own party in lheform of the Reagan administration, but said be welcomes the opportunily to be a vocal proponenl ofviews from the G.O.P.

"'President Reagan is less wedded to dogma than arc many of his supporters.- Hatfield said he views extreme right wing mcmbtr of thc Republican Party as "Johnny Come Lately's." "They don\ represent tbe traditional Republican Party." His party, be said, might actually "be lhe fint 10 have a black or a woman as vice president or as president." Hatfield also said he opposes any move to ploa: responsibility for curriculum dcvelopmenl or curriculum recommendation wilh the federal government. He also discussed his bill. currently before the Senate. to create a Peace Academy an institution first proposed by George Washington as an alternative to the military academy - in which negotiating skills. etc.. would be taught.

Daniel friedman . a sistant professor of design s1udies. and Mark Ernst, assistant profe sor of architecture. a~ laking what might be charitallly called "early bureaucratic .. and infusing it with a soft, dignified air. thus conveying a sense of respect for American jurisprudence and the dignity of all clients who oeck legal counsel. The right to legal counsel in criminal mauers, of course. i.s guaranteed to aJI Americans by the U.S. Constitution. Moreover. acoess 10 counsel in civil mat· ten - for those unable to afford private legal services or able 10 pay only nominaJ legal expenses - is usually viewed as a social need , both by the U.S. l~gal community and American society at large. Such a concern for legal counsel in civil matters cx:isu in otbe.r countries u well. Friedman and Ernst, both practicin& archilCCls with master's deJRes from the University of Wiscon in. comment: .. It's pretty easy to oec that Legal Aid serves people who cannot afford legal services. and wefwant to communicate that role to people who are coming bere .. . The idea is that couru and bureaucracies arc somewhat intimidating to anyone. They tend to be sterile spaces that don' support activities like waiting. activities which generally take place under stressful circumstances .... "le&al Aid has a 75-yeor-old commit- nt to the principle of equity in the administration of American law. Every· thing that char-=teriz.es iu mission hi.stor· ically. we hope to convey throuah our desian. in pan by usin& architeetural devices to reduce the sense of scale nor· mally associated with public buildinp and counhourscs.

Friedman and Ernst we~ forced to "do more with less,· often usina "surrogate- materials, especially II"'Phics and the use of specific paint and carpet colon. Legal Aid Executi\1: Attorney Rose H. Scooien praised tbe pair for their pro bono service. notin& th&l the project mushroomed from an tarlicr, more modest inte-nt. I Legal Aid office space "needed belp," as Ernst puts it. In addition to the profess'On' own work in the lobby and wailing room. 22 st udents in Friedman's 351 design studies studio course are now scrutin iz.ing L.egaJ Aid operations in seneral and the labyrinthint character oft he remaining space Each student must develop a .. master plan, - so Friedman hopes a conscn u .. planning document .. will emerge, one helpful to the Legal Aid Bureau over the long term. Stu\lents will also study the diverse functions of the large taff(aboul 25 staff altorneys: 53 employeesotn all), and the needs of the appro.,mately 90 ctienl.s intervkwed weekly. For their own projeet , Friedman and Ern t are cKatmg a new. doorless. entrance, to the right as one gets oiT the elevator. This will be "ddined" by arches and columns and enhanced by a new wall treatment. Specifically, the lowt-r. four· ft. ponion of the wall will be painted in dark rosc-wood. ""a warm wood color.while I he upper ronion of the wall will feature scales o jUiticc stenciled on a freshly painted grey field . The new waitina room, fuhioned out of what is. now a hnd~podge of unli&htly cubicles and pannions, will also featu.re this wall treatment. Friedman remark< that "Mark and I sat down and asked ourselves whot kind of environment do we think of when we think of law offices. and we came up with certain adjectives: somber. quiet.. 5C<iurc ... With respect to this association of pace (the Legal Aid lobby and waitins room). the pace has 10 be vivid . memorable and iupportive in cwry Kft..Sf', .. an architectural tenet he terms ptvotallo the project. .

The study, commissioned by SUNY, was conducted by the Regional Economic Assistance Center (R EAC) at UB. It was designed to measure the economic: innuence of the l~mpus, 381.000student system on 10 geographic regions of the state. The eight SUNY campuses in Western New York are U !1. the Colleges at Buffalo and Fredonia, the Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred, the College of Ceramics at Alfred University, a_nd Jamestown. Eric and iagara County Community Colleges. Together. theyenroll70.374 students. supported by 9,812 faculty and staff. While not designed to show the impact or the individual campuses, the study reveals significant data on th.e collective economic influence generated by the SUNY pr.. ence in the region during the base year of 1982. The 10 regions used in the study coincide with economic regio ns defined by the New York State O.partment of Commerce. The REAC study methodology included several impact models such as the University"s effects on business and government and on individual income and employment. It also involved student and faculty surveys at selected campuse~ throughout thesystem. The S 1.194 billion business volume finding. for example. was the . SUNY A impact resulting from the goods and services purchased by the eight campuses, the amount they paid in wages and salaries. the amount spent in the region by the students, bank deposit• from SUNYrelated sou rces, and contributions to the area's economy from visitors to the SUNY campuses. Other models used in the studv revealed that SUNY's presence; · • Resulted , directly and indirectly. in approximately 66.000 jobs in the region. • Generated over $47.5 million in governmental revenue for the region and its municipalities. through such items as sales tax.• state aid to sc hools. and utilit y tax payments. • Added S455 million in personal income for region residents. • Resulted inlhe purchase by re idents in the region or durable goods with a value of more than S21 million. he study also noted that the SU Y UB chool of Management, 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.

Alutto, Man· agement School dean, the Reporter has learned. " A s a general rule, nobody is ever happy with an affirm•· tive action report," Presi· dent Sample commented to the Universlty Council after it heard a report from the University's affirmative action officer at its meeting last Friday. Malcolm Agostin i distributed a report on ethnic minori"t and female hiring to the Council for it review. (Note: a com· prehensive arti on the report appeared in last week's Reporter.) Dr. Sample emphasized that " minority employment as a fraction of our total employnient went up. while drastic cuts were being made. We have made significant progress at the faculty level in hiring of females an~ minorities. That wouldn't have happened during th is period-without a strong commitment."" He added, however, "That commit· ment is not unifonn throughout the University." Noting that the majority of black faculty members are concentrated in EOC, Agostini said, "It is a matter of concern that we have not reached tbe diversity we probably can get in many disciplines, with almost half the black faculty in EOC. There are many disci· plines without any black repreoenta\ion. • Reasons for this include the fact that many faculties have almost 100 per cent tenured fac.ulty and that most faculties have done almost no hirin$ in the three yean (1981-1983) covered In the report, Aaostini said. The bulk of ethnic minority pcnons hired have been Asians, he added, saying that most new !UrinJ has been done in science and eDJineenng disciplines. Afoatini decried the fact that national studoes indicate that the number of black students aoi"' to .,..Suate ac:bool has been declining since 1977 and added that U B must continue ill effons to atttact blaclt studenll to paduate ac:hool. In reply to questions, A&ostini said there is no overallt!"J"t for minority hir· ina. since eaeh discipline and department hu aaoal related to minority represeata· lion in the field. He added that UB is "comparable"to its sister campuses in the state in terms of minority student enrollment. F Alutto said the cofnmittee will " probably recommend a set of three names" to William Greiner. interim vice president for academic affairs, "sometime this week." The four candidates, in no order of preference, are: Dr. Michael P. Brooks, dean of the College of Design at Iowa State University; Robert M. Beckley, professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee: Dr. AndrewJ . Rudnick , vice president and director of research at the Rice Center, which is the urban research arm of Rice Universiy in Houston, Texas; and Dr. Susan S. Fainstein, currently act· ing director of the School of Urban and Regional Policy at Rutgers University at New Brunswick, N.J. All four are "first-rate candidates," Alutto commented. 0 WBFO will undergo formal external evaluation· adio station WBFO will · School. ....m in t.he process of reviewing their undergo a formal evaluation by an external review team guidelines.

Remov· ing student records functions from the Admissions Office and centralizing all offices relating to student finances and aid will improve service to students and effectiveness of the various offices. Wagner said. "Fruitful" negotiations with a delega· tion from the Beijing Municipal Unlver· sity System were described by Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Wil· liam Greiner. who told the Council that an initial three-year agreement with the largest university system in China has been renewed "in principle" for another three years. Engineering Dean George Lee, who was credited by Greiner for the success of the neaotiations, said that the U B-Beijing exchange proaram will become "more structured" over the next three years. Greiner noted that the cost of the exchange proaram - approllimately S3S,OOO in unrestricted funds for next year - is "very small" compared to tbc benefits received by faculty and students at both .institutions.

Inman, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Hoi-Sing Kwolc. , Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Electrical ·and Computer Engineering. Inman is 36 years of age; Kwok, 33. Inman and Kwok, both UB faculty since 1980, are among 200 recipients nationwide selected from among 1,549 nominees·. Nominations were submitted by department heads at the various institutions represented in the awa rd s competition. The awards, renewable annually for a maxi mum bf live years, provide for a yearly grant of $25,000 plus any portion of an additional $37,500 per year, for which matching fund s must be obtained from industrial sources. Thus, each .. Presidential Young Investigator" could receive a total of$500,000 over a five-year period if the full potential is realized. UB is the only public university in New York State with one or more award winnen. A total of 22 awards were received by New York State scientists. T Saying he plans to continue his research into methods of controlling vib rat io n s of .. precision mechanical structures,'' Inman explained : .. The design a nd performance requirements of both robot manipulator arms and large space struct ures are quite strenuous in the sense that in both cases a very small error in position can cause a particular func· Lion of the structure to fail ... He further noted that such errors may result fro m oscillations due to outside energy forces; from vibration co ntrolsystem "spillover," or both. Kwok, whose research deals with ultrashort laSer pulses, was nominated for his aw,atd by Dennis P. Malone. Ph.D .. "ho then was serving as chairman of Elect rical and Compu te r Engineeri ng.

It is through the oral history process through extensive interviews of panici· pants - that Fish believe the "whole story" behind the co nflict will be brou!!ht to light. " I want to know what it felt hke to be drafted. to go overseas, to fight , to kill." Loran said . ..The oral historian is the only one who can tell this story." In an era of increasing international tensions and as names and terms like El Salvador. Beirut, police action, and .. the communist menace .. creep into newspaper headlines much as Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi. and the Tonkin Gulf did a generation earlier. the trio emphasi1.ed that an in-depth~tudy oft he horrors of Vietnam is especially important not only as a remembrance oft he: past but as a warning for the future. "Now is the pme to listen to the folklore or the veteran,.. Loran said ... . f we ever want to understand war. we have to start li.stening to them." "When I look at what'l; go in& on in El Salvadortoday, I sec the same veaetation, the same soklien (as in Vi~t­ nam)," explained Roberson, who, like loran. is a Vietnam veteran. "'I &ct confused." Fish said she located her original subjccu for the oral study at the Vietnam hk. but _ veterans· memorial in Washington . D.C. .. Moi t of my inten•iewing is do ne at the memorial." Fish said. " I s tart by asking (veterans) what they are doinJ there, not anything specific about their actual war experiences. From there it expand! natu· rally."

Fish explained that much of the information she collected cannot be found in any hi tory text and that the US aovemment has failed to verify Lhe authenticity of much of it due: to its eontroveniaJ nature. ~some people may go to jail on the: informatiOn we have gotten,..

The computers they used are the Hewlett Packa rd (HP) IIC and 15C. and the multitude of these pocket-s ize powerhouses a ppearing on campus is representative of a trend away from $5000 large-memory microcomputers towa rd hand-held ca lculators with much smaller memory but equiva lent comp uting ability. Dr. Margolis realized that students needed these small computers, anyway. just to c.h~k the accuracy of their programs on the larger models. so he took the next logical ste p, which was to phase out the u~ of the Unive rsity computer system by the majority of introductory level engineering st udents, to rel ieve the time<onsuming burd en on a system which .is still overcrowded . The staff se lect'ed th e H P I JC and ISCto fill this gap. During freshman orie nt ation. all math and engineering majors were advised to buy this calculator. It was picked for its co mputing power, portabil ity and low energy co nsumption . The se mach ines, which have 644 lines of progra mmable memory which they retain in the •·orr state, and others like them. such as the Texas Instruments 58 C. will have long-range impact -not only fo r computer classes. but.for a ll math and enginee ring courses. First of aU, they a re quite powerful. Says Dr~ Margolis, .. Students have been usi ng the H P's to so lve some of their problems in {o urscs as advanced as EAS 451 . I know of no undergrad who will encounter a math problem he won't be ab le to solve on the HP." Second, .:Students can brin g programs or store any kind of data they want to usc on their persona\ computer because it is just that - a personal com puter." as Dr. Margoli s ex plained in a n EAS 130 lecture. Third, the ca lculator has been accepted for use on tests in most math a nd enginee ring courses. Thus, if a student has filled up his 644 lines of program memory. for a professor to ask him to ..dump .. or copy that memory int o a noteboo k. a nd then clear the mcmory.just to prevent ..cheating" on a test. could be rather obnoxious in that swdcnt's view. With students walking into tests with all the formulas they need . lhe question .. What is being tested?.. must be confronted . On the fi rst . test in EAS 130, some students outfoxed their professprs by devising a program which provided a general S'olution to the type of qu cs~ tion being asked on the test. so the Only thing these students had to do was enter the variables and copy down the output - carefully. becauK" 90% of the credit was given for finding the right answer. The traditional emphasis on concrete results in engineering was augmented by the .. open book. ·open calculator" si tuation. The EAS I 30stafftook steps to correct this sit uation . Dr. Margolis explained that .. We had never dealt with this type oftestingsituation before. We're making a much better test for next time ... This meant. for example. mote test questions so studenu who get an incorrect answer would not be destroyed . It also meant a wider variety of problems to prevent the easy ...aces"' that occurred on the first exam. ll was deliberately mad e pns.o;ible to sol\'e the problems on the first lest without a programmed H P. hut merely with aup:akulator. This was so because, as Dr. Mar~olis •explained ... No o ne had any idea how the H'P's would perform ... Suppose one fails: docs the owner fail with hi s machine like the proverbial c.aptain,.who ROC$ down with his shi p'! Su ppose he doesn't . Suppose he instead p.cts a second chance to take the test . That would be nice". I( you walk into a test and you think yo'u're g.oing to fail.just kill the cakuhuor and take the ttil next week . It seems that the only alternative is to have backup calculatoni available on tests. hul what ahout the pro(lrams to eo with them (What about the money to pay (or them)'? The pro(!:rams could be entered from a noltbook . but thHt takes time . Nothing has raised &his many quootions since the invention of1he lol\{tsleevecardi(!:an. A he chan~ did not include less e-mphasis on correct resuhs . because th~ are.thus far .the only sta ndl&rd for mark in@: a computer pro1ram. Dr: Margolis commented that - we T pid. up the la nguage when yo u ~c t there.- No body "~ too well prepared fo r the fi nal. but at leas t no boc1y fa iled by miS!!ti ng a l.e}stro kc o n his ca lculator. 3)1 some d id on the fin. t and !>CCond test!>.

Most sttrdents expressed dissat isfa ction with the way Fortran was handled . and with the course in general. George Pappas said . .. In no way were we prepared to use Fortran. Yo u just don"' read a book and become versed in a language."' Greg Anastasios said .. We spent September to December on the H P- 15C. and two weeh on Fortran - it should ha\"C been the other way around .. . Most people would have to take a Fortran class again. I learned everything there is to kn~ about programm ing the HP but it's uscleF ~n the future: maybe it \, good for a c lass or home...,·ork but not for a j ob... Dr. Margolis disagrees. He was introd uced to the H P line of programmable ca lc ulat o~ when he worked as an engineer performin g statistical ana lysis of experiments. He found th at . becau~ of t ht large number of rand om data involved. he needed a ponable machine into which he cou ld enter \ariables and get output. It was inconvenient to have to rely on a non-portable computer system housed in a building fa r away from the test site. However. about EAS 130 in particular. Dr. Margolis said . ..This is a two,redit freshman course and let's face il. the students don't have an ) intercst ingapplicakops. The payoff will co me in later yea rs ... he HP-15 / IlC was expected to ha"e a large impact on the teach ing of calculus but. besides being somewhat of a disappoi ntment to EAS 130 students. it dido' have a lot of positive impact o n calculus. Th is is m) opinion . Over the summ er it wa:> agreed that since the II C did not perfo rm the calculu ~ fun cti on of imcgrat ion. it would be allowed for usc: o n ca lculu~ tests . Thi ~ was the main reaso n it wru: recommended to EAS 130 students O\'Cr the 15C The latter was supposedly inconvenient becau~ some of the programming functio ns arC listed on the back (the IIC has all it s functions listed on the front). Th is was. more or less. a red herring. however. The HP-ISC features a numerical integration function so when it became common. ca lcula tors were banned from calculus tests. Or. Margo lis believes that the cakulator co ncept wi ll revolutionite the teaching of science and math in the nut few yt:ars. liowevcr. in response to the question: .. If these are such a vital part of mathematics then how can you take the calculator out of lht' calculus and still bt:doing realistic mathtmatics?." he asked . .. You mean the ca lculus 8) taught by thccak:ulusdepanrntnt'? .. That wn the implicat ion. He-explained thai. ..There arc really two possible motivatio ns: OM is that with tht calculators the student actually to:>~ something: ht loses any concept or ordr.r of magnitude. The business of making cstima· tio ns tends to depend on it too much . To allow the student to ket'p this insigh t is a noble thing. The other thing is that we can co mpkment each othe_r: if ~''C got a calcu lw based computer courK where I have 1hat hea\ ywcighl calculus book you guys are usi ng. then I can do some ofthest' th ings."'The rcJerenct made is to Calculus and Anahttr Gt'fmlf'tra· b'· Stein. 3rd edition. published by McG ra...

The days of memori1.atio n arc gone. but so is the Golden Age of Partial Credit. But the Professor's co mment is logical. How would one mark a computer program that doesn't do anything? Is it neat? Is it elegant'? (Is it structured?) It is iambic? Some of these questions were dealt with on the seco nd test. The second test in EAS 130 incorporated several changes envisioned by the staff but it was still flawed in the same way the first test was: if one answer was wrong. then &out of W were wrong. The second test was more 'ui ted to the cou rse than was the first. because it . required students to actually write a program. while th is essential task was avoidable on the first test_ However, because oft his. many students found they did not have enough time to complete the exam. Student s in the course in terviewed for this article complained of this pro blem. but still hod more respect for this exam than the first. Dr. Margolis believes in the princip le oft he take-home test which gi\'es student s enough time to com plete a realistic en@ineering problem. He ex plained: . · ~ " Beginning in 1979 so me st udent s received government subsidies (deri\'ed from pctro· dollani) to pay their tu ition at UB and to li\'e in (expenSive ) a pa rtm ents i n No rth Tona-.·anda.

Last week, the Senate Executive Committee instructed the Grading Committee to investigate a more "'finely tuned" grading system that includes a plus/ minus option, and to give attentiOn in its report to academic considerations, current grading practices at other major, pu blic research universities, and to administrative feasibility. Under a plus / minus system there are three gradients of each letter grade - A, A+, A-. for instance. The resolution was forwarded by Prof. Claude Welch shonly after Robert Wagner, vice president for university services, told the FSECihal UB 'scpmputers A now have the capability for handling a plus/ minus system. Welch, who chairs the Senate's Teach· ing Quahly Comminee. told the Rrporter thai he believes the option would help faculty more accurately assess student performance. Often times it is difficult to assign a l_euer grade that takes into account and reflects student test scores, classroom work and other evaluative measures. he noted . The option. he said. can help graders do a more "conscientious job." Plus / minus grading was rejected by Keller in March 1974 because of its pos· sible adverse impact on the ..status of our students who wish to pursue graduate and professional educauon," he wrQtC in an explanatory lener 10 the late Gilbert Moore, then chairman of tbe Senate. As rationale for his disapproval, Ketter also used an argument which directly contradicts Welch's. .a good deal of concern was expressed (by facuhy with whom he consuhed) regarding lht almost impossible task of identifying those differences that would be required 10 grade on a 'scale of 12,• when differentiation on our present five-level scale is already it times difficult... he wrote. Interestingly. both o.pinions were expressed by other faculty 10 March 1982 when the Grading Committee again recommended imple·mentation of plus/ · minus grading. In one camp. according to R~purtn file anicle . \lo't'rr faculty who ar~tued that the reform would add nexi· bility to an unnecessarily rigid system. By contrast. representatives from the opposite camp claimed that finer discrimlnalions would only make life more difticuh and could open a Pandora's box of complaints and grievances from students. If Jeremy Blachman. director of SCATE. had his way. UBwould institute the change. Describing most studenu here as "grade crazy." .Biaehman thinks the reform might help them be concerned less with .. cut-offs" and more with learning.

I was penniless many times during the ne.xt years but I never sold the diamond. The closest I came to it was on a dark winter day in band of the Polish anesthc:tist was the former third engineer ofthe Polish trans- atlantic liner "Batory. ""He fixed up one of the unused boilers to deliver enough heat and atmospheric pressure to be used as a surgical sterilizer. It broke down frequently and at the most inopportune moments, but ·our resourceful marine engineer was always at hand and resur-. rected it with the same aplomb as we assumed he fixed ship engines amidst a North Atlantic gale. Our sterilizer, a Rube Goldbergish pressure cooker had another drawb;ock, it did not dry things sufficiently. Every time I slipped on my surgical cap, masks anagown I felt the ghostlike clammy ~mbrace of moist linen.·• Before the great influx of refugees at the monastery, Bakay performed mostly emergency surgery, treating perforated ulcers or cases of appendicitis. He recalls circumcising a young man . Theprospeds of such a procedute shocked Sister Pulcheria, the earthy and experienced surgi- cal nurse. "When 1 tried to explain to her that the same operation was also per- formed on our Lord Jesus, she became more suspicious than ever. NobOlly told her that. She was convinced that this was . one ofthose Lutheran tricks.

In Stockholm, Bakay worked at a wellknown neurosurgical clinic run by Pro- answer.

"I don\ think there's a faculty member here who doesn\ think these courses are what college bound stu- dents should take." Reichert also observed that U B lacks the"'stomach , talent or resources"to do a good job at remedial teaching. Students .unable to fulfill the admissions requirements should apply to junior colleges or other iristitutions that can give them the kind of attention they need. When their skills improve, then they can transfer, he suggested. "It is our duty to support the change in the process of higher education in this country . . ..

BACCHUS By JILL-MARIE ANOIA he acronym BACC HUS entered the voca bula ry of many dorm resident recently as they ans· wered the questions of the -student Drink.i ng Information calc... a survey distributed to a random sampling of students on both campuses. informat ion accompanying· the survey ex plained that it was designed by the UB c hapter of Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students BACCHUS. The goal of the organization is to promote social events and educational progrtuOs which help s tudent~ in making responsible and. informed decisions regarding the use or non-use of alcoholic beverages on campus and off. The national BACC H US organization was founded in 1976 and currently has over 130 university chapters in the Uni ted States and Canada. The U B chapter was established in 1983 as an adj unct to the Alcohol Awareness Progra m. Currently there are undergraduate and grad uate chapte rs on cam pus headed by presidents Lee Closson and Victor S t o lberg respectively. The basic ideal of the program is to - promote responsible drinking behavior.:' according to Stolberg. BACCH US is a peer based approa1:b to alcohol education which seeks to hel p 5tud ent form health y, i nformed attitudes toward drinking as well as the alternative of choosing to abstain. Stolberg believes that studenu "do need to be educated about alcohol, just to make responsible decisions" and also to "recognize that non-drin_k:ing is an acceptable ahema· tive. " It is a nationwide fact that a grc.ater percentage of college studcnu drink t han the national average and for I his reaso n BACCH US members feel the ir inOucncc on campus is vi tal. Student need 10 be! info rmed of the physical and mental consequences of drink ing. the cffecu of the drug alcohol. and many related issues, accor~ing to Stolberg. " There arc a lot of personal and oeial costs of alcohol abuse wh ich is what we try to educate people about in our prograrns.- T The same survey which was given n:ccntly to dormitory residenu was also given to S3S incoming freshmen during 1983 Summer Orientation. It is hoped that tbe two studies combined will show program membeR which areas of the ur~ntly BACCHUS is invohed in a diversity of activities. many cospon ored with the Alcohol Awareness Program. They offer individual and group counseling for drinkers and those affectrd by problem drinking. and al o can often be found an apen Holl d1 tnbuting pamphlets and educational mat<· nals.

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.
