three separate payrolls. Omitting student
employees on the FSA. payroll, there
were 192 fewer males and 302 fewer
females employed in 1983 compared to
1981.
Despite a slight decline in total full·
time faculty employed on the State payroll (from 1,340 to 1,335), the total
employment of ethnic minority faculty
increased by seven, or 0.6 percentage
points, Agostini noted. In Fall, 1983,
ethnic minorities (including Hispanics
and Asians) held 12.4 per cent of all fulltime State~funded positions; oft his total,
blacks held 4.3 per cent, Hispanics 0.8 per
cent and .. others,~ including one Native
American and the remainder Asians, 7.3
percent. Blacks increased in this category
by 0.2 per cent, "others" by 0.4 per cent,
while HispanicS'remarned constant at the
1981 (f:vel of representation.
Over the three-year period' of the
report, 'ti~ appointed 46 new full-time
ethnic minO[ity fjij;ulty, equivalent to
18.2 percent o all faculty appointed with
similar status, Agostini reported. Of
these appointments, Asians receiv~ 32
(12.7 per cent), blacks 13 (5.1 per cent)
and Hispanics I, or 0.4 per cent.
Bleclc. faculty increased by two, or 0.2
percentage points, over the three-year
period. Seven of the 13 appointments
made from 1981-1983 were for lecturers
in the Equal Opportunity Center. Among
the others, Agostini reported , were three
assistant professors in 1981; one associate
professor in 1982 and three in 1983, one
each in the ranks of cHnical and visiting
associate professor, and one at the assistant professor level.
According to Agostini's report, the dis.. tribution.of black faculty at UB in 1983
was: 24 in EOC; seven in the Health
Sciences, and 26 it! departments within
the Division of Academic Affairs.
.... Ainonc tenure-track black faculty ,
assistant professors in 1983 showed an
increase of one over I 981, Agostipi
reported, and three over 1982. In the
senior ranks, he added, there were two
more than in 1981, but one less than in
1982.
ddressing the issue of hiring black
faculty members, Agostini noted,
"The small increase we've made in the
hiring of black and Hispanic faculty
,should be seen against the backdrop of
the fact that most of the new appointments in these three years were in the
areas of science and engineering - specialties where over the past four years the
number of black and Hispanic Ph.D.'s
was loss than three per cent of the total

A

UB~wide

number of graduates in a few cases, and
less than two per cent in most. This
exceedingly low representation among
black and Hispanic graduates should be
of primary concern to the University, and
I welcome recent measures to identify
potential graduate students from these
groups."
.
Female full-time fac ulty employment
also increased slightly, up by 4, or an
iilcrease of 0.4 . per cent, Agostini
reported . As of Nov. 30, 1983, UB had
263 female full-time faculty members in a
total faculty of 1,335. During the same
period, there was a loss of nine male
faculty members.
Agostini further reported that for the
period Sept. I, 1981, to Sept. 30, 1983, a
total of 77 females received new faculty
appointments, equivalent to 30.4 per cent
of all new appointments for that period.
The highest rate of female faculty
employment occurred in 1981, he added,
wben 33.3 per cent of all new full-time
faculty appointments went to women.
Agostini commented, ...It is significant
for future growth that the hiring rate of
females is higher in each of the three years
studied than their current representation
among full-time (acuity. Deans and .
department chairs should bear in mind
that female Ph.D.'s in the sciencce
on
the rise, and tbat this increase in availability for junior rank appointments should
be renected in future female hiring
totals. "
Among the full-time female Statefunded faculty, he add.,P, there was an
increase of II females holding tenurttrack appointments, and a decrease of
seven in non-tenure track appointments.
Among assistant professors, there were
nine more in 1983 than in 1981, and there
was an increase of two among senior tank
professors.
However, in looking at the female
worlc.force as a whole, the total number of
females employed at UB (omitting FSA
students) decreased by 302, or 1.3 per
cent, during the three-year period . The
total number of females is 2,412, comprising 44.7 per cent of the workforce.
Females increased their representation
in Research Foundation areas by 2.4 percentage points, and make up 62.8 percent
of aU Research Foundation non-student
employees.
The maior decline in female employment was tn the Classified Service1 Agostini said, where there w.as a loss of 128
women, equivalent to a I.S per cent
decrease from 1981. There was a total loss
of 168 persons from Classified Service (
from Falll98lto Fa111983; forty of these/
were males.
However, he added, the total num'r
of ethnic minorities in Classified Service
stayed the same, and blacks and Hispan-

librarians at UB decreased by six, or 8.7
per cent; of these, five were female and
one male. There were five fewer white
librarians in 1983 than in 1981 , Agostini
added , but their proportional share of
total employment was 0.5 percentage
points higher. Except for blacks, he
nOted , the numerical count of other ethnic minority groups remained constant.
One of two black librarians was terminated and reappointed as a non-teaching
professional serving in a non-related
library position. Female representation
in 1983 was 65.1 per cent.

ics increased their proportional..-epresentation by 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points,
respectively. Between 1982 and 1983,
Agostini said, there was a loss of two
persons among Asians and American
Indians . Black Classified Service
employment increased by one.
The decline in females in Classified
Service, he added, was equivalent to 76.2
per cent of the total loss for the period, a
rate of loss higher than women's level of
representation.
"Maintaining the number of ethnic
minorities in a period of significant
decline in total employment in the Classified Service is a source of some satisfac·
tion to the entire University," Agostini
commented in his report , ·")~et it signals
the need for continued vigilance in the
hiring rate of members of this group
whenever recruitment opportunities are
presented. This we must do if even the
current level of employment is to be
maintained ."
Between Fall' 1981 and Fall 1983,
Agostini reponed, the (otal number of

of mino rity and female workers at U8
can be increased. He expects a round of
meetings over the next few weeks with
deans, chairs, directors and other unit
supervisors in the different vice presidential areas.
"'We disc ussed what can be done to
continue to improve ourpicture .... he said .
"Among our recommendations was that
University search committees and
department heads continuously ask the
'affirmative action question,' and give a
second look to minorit y and female job
candidates who may fall just below the
cutoff line and consider whether they
should be brought in for interviews, to see
if there is more to the candidate than
appears on a resume.
.. After completing interviews which
include black, Hispanic and female candidates, department heads - especially
in areas where these candidates are not
represented - should ask themselves.
'Why is there not a chance to employ the
ethnic minority or female?' " Agostini
added, noting that one UB vice president
has already directed his department
heads to take account of the-diversit y of
their staffs and the qualifications of the
final candidates when recommending
hiring.
.. Also, whenever offers made to minority and women c~didates are turned
down, or a candidate sc.,ems hesitant to
accept a position, we recommend that
departments make the best possible offer,
and follow up to make an offer more
attractive, or to find out why it was
refused ," Agostini continued. "We have
also got to make more determined effons
to recruit at professional caucuses of
minorities and females."
Agostini called on the entire University
fac ulty and staff to assist in efforts to
recruit minority and female candidates.
especially recent Ph.D. graduates.
"We ask faculty and staff to recommend these candidates to their depart•
ment heads or to tbe Affirmative Action
Office," he said.

emerpd from those discus1ions,.. the
President said, Mis that a common Unlvenity commencement is desirable and
that the University should continue its
PfOII'CII towllld this goal .~ At the same
time, he indicated, it seemed clear that
"the University should retain the fortnat
of a featured aeneral commencement

0nce an "appropriate facility" is available for a common commencement.
Sample said, "it shell be University policy

Nicorette

The nicotine is absorbed through the oral
mucosa , the lining of the mouth. Blood
11!\'t:ls of nicotine can approximate the
levels produced by s moktng except for
the s udden ele vated levels (the "rus h")
th at accompanies I he fi rst few m inutes of

physiological effects of nicotine still
occur but in inore moderate amounts.

their tasks. Such a scene is
possible now that nicotine gum. the most
promising method discovered to date for
quitting smoking, is about to be
introduced into the United States.
Devised by Dr. Claes Lundl!,ren, inventor
and UB scientist, in .association with a
Swedish company. it will become commercially available as a p=cription drug
on March IS. The gum as 1t now exists
was developed b)( Leo Pharmaceuticals
of Sweden. Lullclgren. a native of
Sweden. is professo of physiology and
director of UB"s Hy
baric Research
Labbratory.
Known commercially as Nicorctte ... it
is marke1ed by the pharmaceutica l
company Merrill Dow. It is now
available in IS countries. including
Canada. Great Britain, Sweden and
Switzerland . Except in Switzerland.
where it was introduced in 1979. 1t is only
sold as a prescription drug.
The effectiveness of nicotine gum has
been demonstrated repeatedly by tests.
For those in one study who used the gum
consistently for three months or longer,
67-75 percent had k.icked the habit within
a year of starting the treatment. Virtually
every other study indicated success rates
of 35 per cent to 71 per cent after one
year. The variation and lower rates of
some of these studies, however, may have
resulted from including smoken who did
not continue using the gum during the
minimum three month treatment period.
Despite this, success rates of the
nicotine £Um are two to 3~ times higher
than tbe national success rate usin1 all
methods. It is estimated that 20 million
people. or 37 per cent of all smoken, try
to stop srnoktn£ each year, aod only 20
per cent of these are successful.
If Nicorette becomes popular as the
method uaed by smoken to 'luil their
babit, it ia aafc to say tbat milli0111 of
ex-smokers would be ~!&lt;'Derated each
year, witb hundreds of thousands of lives
saved.

and, in fact, n1xed Rennie's first plan in
favor of the one being established. The
initial plan called for a conversion of 10
per cent of the State supported assistantships into fellowships. This would have
produced about 120 fellows who would
not have had any teaching requirement.
.. The clear response from the deans,
a nd one that I su pported," Greiner said,
"was that they could not afford to fund a
pure fellowship program out of State
resources. The workload situation in the
academic core requires that those who
have assistantships help in teaching.
research or administration."
Even though only a 10 per ce nt reduction in the number of TAs would have
occurred, the deans felt that with a 17: I
undergraduate student ratio, they simply
could not spare the instructional help. he
explained.
The only thing that might be construed
as .. imposed," is that Rennie insisted that
the old, "collapsing," one-year Graduate
School fellowship program had to go,
Greiner said.
Renni e was faced with a situation in
which a sizable number ofT As were making out bed financially than fellows,
who were funded at SS,OOO, but who
didn' have a tCjlching requirement. That
differential would only have grown in the
future due to mandatory increases for
State supported assistantships. The fello~s, suppoSedly the University's best
students who receive funding based on
academic merit. were understandably
annoyed, Greiner relayed.
Rennie could have used the $200,000 in
endowment money to keep on increasing
the stipend lev~LI of fellows, but as salaries continued to grow forT As, he would
have had to use more endowment funds
to support fewer and fewer students,
probably less than 30 by next fall.
What it came down to, Greiner summarized, was an ""inexorable need for continuing gradual increases in the level of
T A stipends coupled with a fixed pool of
money." The result would have been a
"collapsed fellowship program" that
would be "down to nothing."
Both Rennie a nd President Sample
wanted to use the $200,000 Sample made
available in unrestricted endowment
funds to the best advantage of the Uni-

versity, Greiner said. Using it to support a
decreasing number of grad studenlS
would only have made a .. marginal contribution"to the institution, they felt, and
would do nothing to attiact Outstanding
new Ph. D.: students.
The current plan calls for $145,000 in
State monies - a sum which has
remained fixed by the DOB for a number
of years and will likely continue so - to
fund the Woodburn and Moore fellows
and use of departmental plus endowment
money to support I00 graduate fellows in
the University"s new program. It's
believed that the S2,000 override along
with the maximum teaching stipend and
tuition waiver brings UB to the point
where it can now successfully compete
with other institutions for the top student s availa ble.
Greiner said he keeps on hearing fro m
departments. particularly from the sciences, that th ey ca n't attract th e best stu dent s with low slipends. Now that stipends will be nationally competitive. the
problem should ease, he reasons.
"This will be the test," he added .
hat would the interim VPAAsa y to
those who complain that they_
would prefer the University to.fund more,
students at lower stipends rather than
fewer with more?
"I think this type of thinking raises
questions about our commitment to quality," he responds. ""What we are getting to
is a basic, fundamental test of values. We
have a type of poverty mentality at this
university which is inappropriate; a mentality tha has us always looking on the
down side."
As a result of the new · program.
Greiner acknowledged that UB will have
40 fewer supported students, a situation
which has spurred complaints. He
believes, however, that the quality students we can now attract with the new
program may offset the decrease by
enhancing funded research to the level
where additional monies will be available
to support more students.
Over and above the research and
recruitment aspects, an added bonus of
the program, he emphasized, will be its
positive impact on undergraduate teach-

International Women's Week
Lecturers converge·on UB
to discuss feminist issues
International Women's Week,
March 3-10, is being observed in
Buffalo via speeches, concerts and
other events. For the past 10 years,
the Queen City has recognized the
achievements of women by honoring lnternatio1Ull Women's Day.
In 1984, h~wever, the ,observance
was expanded into a week-long
celebration. Other major cities
also ob!ierve this day.
Below are Jive reports on lectures given this week by spealrers
who are e!ther UB faculty
members or guestr on campus.
They are Ellen 'Willis, stJJff writer
for the Village Voice; Clar.e
Kahane, Ph.D., associate professor in UB's Department of English; Nancy Dwyer, painter and
visitor to the UB Art Departnrent;
Jeannette Ludwig, Ph.D., UB
associate professor ofFrench, and
Wilma Scott HeiJJe, radical feminist nurse, who is a past president
of NOW. They are but jive of the

"(Shatner) has
developed an elitist
attitude which has ·
grown over the years;
we ~aren ' t h"
.Is peers. " )

From the TV to the theater,
actors ride Star-Trek wa\;e
By WEND

CONLIN

tar Trek bas been good to iis crew
over the years. Chekov and SuJu
vouched for it last Saturday and not just with words.
4(1 ee&amp;er throng of over 200"trekkies,"
many 1n Starship Enterprise uniforms
and bearing phasers, heralded the per.anal appeannce of the two acton on
campus - and demonstrated the point.
.. What it"s done for us is to give us a
'following,' " beamed George Takei
(Hikaru Sulu), as he fielded questions
with his co-worker Walter Koenig (Pavel
Chekov).
"And [monetary] remunerat i ons, "
added a witty Koenig.
The Ions-running popularity of the .
Star Trek TV series and movies- almost
two decades - has made it the focus of
the acting careers of both - "and we 'do'
love it," Koenig said . .. , for one hope it
coniinues for a good lon&amp; time.
"You develop a genuine fondness for
you~ character he becomes part of
you," continued the man who claims to
love vodka as much as his character does.
"Just doing what you want, what
you've been trained to do makes you feel
aood, "the actor noted. "My work identifies me in part as a penon -and it's my
life's blood." ·
Getting parts in other productions is
aomewhat hampenod by the very success
of Star Trek, however.
"You act wndded to a popular character in a popular series and produoen are
reluctant to have you play a totally different type of character m their production.
There's the fear ofidentifiC&amp;lion."
Star Trek re-runs reinforce this identification. MWe are auociated with youthful characters because we're seen as we
used to be on the old series. Tbe problem
is that we're not youna anymore."
The two have overcome the difficulty
fairly well, thouah. Takei has performed
in MacBeth and done several other tourina productions, while Koenia appeared
in Antony and Cleopatra, u W.ll as in
some plays at colleaa in California. "I
wu also offered a spot in a pomoaraphic
take-off of Star Trek - where I could
have been the captain - but for aome
reason I turned it down, • be lauahed.
MWe are acton - we're capable of
playina d~s or dqeneratea or anythina - we jlllt have to convince the
producen of that," -ned Takei.

wltb tbc new Star Trek movie, ltheduled
for releue Juoc I . "Tbba ~:~
iMiated ltoenia. "Gene R

(creator of the original series and movie]
told me privately himself that this one
ca me the closest to fulfilling all his
dreams for Star Trek."
Directed by Leonard Nimoy (Spock),
Star Trek Ill: The Search for Spock is
"very distinct ive from Star Trek II,"
remarked Takei. " There's a bigger scope
and the story is more ambiguous. mysterious with an e\ement of uncertainty."
Both praised the Work ofNimoy in his

new role. wwe both agree on this - we
were enormously satisfied with Leona rd 's
work," Koenig asserted . .. As an actor, as
Spock, be was distant, aloof and sometimes a pain in the ass - that was only
because he was so into his character but as a director he is generally concerned
and alSo professional. For me, working
with him was the most rewarding aspect
of [the new] Star Trek."
"He bad guts, too, "added Takei. "He'd
fight to retain a scene that the producer
wanted to cut."
heir impressions of William Shatner
(Captain Kirk) werenotso flattering. /
"He has developed. an elitist attitude
which has arown over the years. It's very
bard for him to identify with us as peers,"
noted Koenia. "He makes a defirute distinction and that's his choice."
He did add that "it's not preening, not
cao - it 'I just that be il committed; he's
tbeman on whom the whole thina counts,
and that has first importanoe." ·
Seeking to explain the 10111.....,_. of
theshowa, Koe1111 covenod several points.
He cnodited the acript writers ftnt of all.
MWe hinod science fiction people with a
aenuine interest in apace. M
Tbe dimensionalizalion of the cbaracters also was a factor, be said. MAll of
them have nuances of character; they
aienl cardboard cutouts."
MEspecially Pavel Cbekov aod Hikaru
Sulu," quipped Takei.
In addiuon,theactors who brouahtthe
characters to life are "talented and suited
for the roles ," Koenia went on. "They
were able to aive them bounoe and life."
Hope for a better world, ofcoune, is
present in the Star Trek producti0111.
MThereisapromiseoftheworldasamore
enliabtened place than it is now. There is
peace on earth, and cultures mix without
IOiina their cultural identity - the

Wh1tt mtroducmg He1de to the class,
Peggy Chinn, UB nursing professor
a member of Cassandra, a rad1cal femiist nurses network, said Heide is one of
the most important "She roes" of the time
and that ~be promotes a system of"bcalth
care that IS motivated bytbc poweroflove,
nottbc love of power."
" I think I have been organizing for juslice ever since kiodergarten," Heide said,
explaining she onoe believed that if a
change 'was logical and fair, it would he
instituted.
In answer to a student's question as to
wbcther physicians will aher their ways of
relating to nuncs, Heide said, "I believe that
physicians are educable. I make that
assumption. Sometimes. thouah, that's a
JICIICfOUS assumption."
People can change. she repeated, urging
the nursing students to remember that femininity and masculinity are learned
' behaviors.
"There is only one thing no woman can
learn how to do,· Heide said. "No woman
can learn how to be a sperm donor.• Liltewise, she said, no man can be an ovum ·
donor.
She once told an audience in Kentucky
thatnomancanlearnhowtohea-nurse.
but oevaal midwives there contndic:ted her.
saying they knew oC men who did. indcod,

Reoently by invitation, she visited Syracuse UniYCrsity. Educa10rs there asked her
advice on establishing a doctoral PfOII'lllD.
She told them, "Teach the DUI'IICS to tiYC and

Over the years. she has been asked many

that she "spared them her CIODIIant

he College Group in Marxist
Studies goes out like a lion th is
weekend. sponsoring a threeday confere nce on "101 Yea rs
after Marx in the Social Sciences, ...
Friday through Sunday in O'Brian Hall.
According to Professor James Lawler. ·
the event which features Marxist scholars
frqm Binghamton. Bridgcpo n . NYU,
Rutgers, Yeshiva, and Cal-Riverside (sec:
This Week"s calendar listings for times
and topics) is ... the final bow for Marx ist
Studies in the Colleges. "There is, Lawler
said, .. no fun her possi bility for funding in
the future, given the si tuat io n that the
Colleges are in. So ends about 16 years of
institutional recognition of Marxist studies in some form, .. he noted. But there is
·one ray of hope. he indicates: campus
Marxist scholars·are making application
now for Graduate Group status.
Lawler recalled that Marxist Studies as
a workshop of the Colleges began in 1977
after the dechancring of the previous
Social Scie nc'es College "amidst much
protest and o n1 e grounds that it was
inefficiently run a

meeting of facult y who had been more or
less associated with the defunct Social
Sciences unit. Roger Woock. then chair
of the also now defunct Depanment of
Social Foundations of Education,
became the first head of a ·restructured
workshop which the Colleges sponsored.
Prof. Lawlertook his place after Woock 's
dcpanure to Australia in 1978.
The workshop held regular colloquia

intractable diarrhea. The mortality rate
elsewhere in the United States had been
up to 45 per cent; at C hildren's. the mortality rate over the last eight yean has
been 0 per cent .
Chronic diarrhea be~in s when infcc'
tions cause persistent injury to the mucus
lining .of the small intestine. A vicious
cycle results because the injured small
intestine leads to an intoleran~ of protein in routine infant feedings . Poor
absorption of nutrients and lowered
immune defenses worsen the condit.ion,
followcdr by deficiencies in enzymes and
hormones which permit an overgrowth of
bacteria in the small bowel. Thus, the
small inteStine never repairs itself and
infedion and malnutrition continue. The
ensuina d e hydrat ion ultimately leadJ to
deat h.
Chronic diarrhea is worst in poor

ccssful completion of its trial period. the
workshop was reviewed by the Colleges
chartering committee of the Faculty
Senate. which recommended that it be
promoted to full college tatus. The hitch.
Lawler recalled, "was that fund had to
come from so me source: other than the
dividing up of the s hrinking college pic.
This other sourtt wa never found .··
In a lette r addle ed to Lawl&lt;r then
Colleges Dean Murray Schwart1 committed mnney last year to the MarxiM tudies Group fort his wcckend~s conference.
"in the lig ht of the cffon&gt; of the faculty
involved in the workl!ohop to evolve

-the idea was to give a visi ble presence of

and co ntam inated water and food . ~n the
United States. the condi tion is most frequent among poor and di sadva ntaged
groups. Un til recentl y, the knowledge of
howeffect ivdy to trea t the illness has not
been available where it was most needed .
Lcbenthal's unique tente r is expeeled .to
change all that.
Df. l...cbenthal obtained the funding
panly thro ugh the cffons of the entire
WNY Coogressional delegat ion espe·
cially Congressman Kemp, Senators
Mo y n ihan. D "Amato. ongressman
Nowak and others.
The ce nter will feature a h0n · Lt.rm
training progra m lasting ix months and
a long·term program oft wo years. Lcbcnthal explai ns. "The ce nter will not o nly
train pediatric gastroenterologist but
will de ve lop an infras'tructure of pedialri·
cians a nd health profc sio nal.s in the
de veloping countries who will be
involve:d in promoting theca~ of infants
who develop chronic diarrhea."

Twenty-three foreign doctors will be
tramed in the firM phase of the progr~tm .
Work hnps will nlso be offered annua l·
ly. In the pl~tnning stages iJJo on i nt ern a ~
tional ·ymposium to be held in Augu t.
1985. It is expected that 700 r&lt;•carchcrs
and clinicians from arou nd th e world will
hear p....,ntations by 70 world authori·
ties on infant nutrit ion and ga.s lroin testi·

Ste-elworkers--

By JOHN K. LAPIANA

rom the ir church lives to their
home lives to their social lives in
local taverns, steelworkers have
maintained and nurtured an
i!ldigenous culture which permeates their
hves both inside and outside the foundry
and has also enveloped their families,
fnends and community.
..
Pinpointing and documenting that
culture has become the labor of Mia
Bo:rnto-:', an associate professor at the
Un1vcrslty of Pennsylvania, who, with
UB graduate student Alex Blair is in the worker's entire life.
.. Working in steel has had an impormidst C1f conducting extensive i~terviews
with Buffalo-area steelworkers for an tant effect in the lives of those who did it "
she
said .... Family lives were affected i'n

Boynton presented a progress report
~n her work at last Friday's opening sesomes se rved as " recovery" areas for
soon of "the "Oral History: Theory and
the e~hausted steelworker, Boynto n
Practice" workshop held in the Ellicott
~omple~ . Th_
e series. sponsored by var- noted,. wllh meals and sleep juggled
around
the male's work schedule. (BoynIOus Umvers1ty departments, will conclude ~omorrow with a discussion led by ton IS currendy limiting her research to
men
steelworkers.)
She and her associate
UB Host.ory Pro(essor Michael Frisch on
at. UB are also st ud ying pressures ott steel

. Although most of he ubjects are now labor struggle.
"For the steelworker, home and

arc walhng to dtscuss both their on-and effo rt s 10 the many labo r battles against
management and 10 the co mmun ity,
off-the-job memories.
In beginning the search for suitable
subjects, Boynton ex plained that she
decoded to employ "official channels" to
avoid alienating or offending potential
sources ... Since the situation of the steelworkers is such a sensitive and controver~ial subject, we decided to begin our p"r oJOCt through the (steel) unions" she said .
.. From there the branches nat~ral\y developed (to additional participants)."
Boyn~o1_1"s research has evolved into
three dastmct areas - the factory. the
o u.t- of-wo rk environment an d the
um o_ns. " In the workplace, w~ are trying

Due to the steel industry's high cyclical
nature, Boynto n said many steelworkers
attempted to buffer the hardships of
reces~ions through seco nd jobs or business mvestments. Here again, she noted
.. steel wives .. m~de contributions to but~
tress the steel c~ lt u re, usually by running
the seco nd busmess. ··we have fo und ·a
n~mberoftaverns in steel neighborhoods
wath women managers, running &lt;he bars
for their husbands who work at the
mills,'" Boynton noted.
_At neighborhood taverns. Boynton
satd, the rriost indigenous aspects of
steelworkers' culture can be observed.
During strikes, these bars are transformed int o ••action headquarters"
becoming the steelworker's .. home...
"When there is a strike the tavern takes
?" • a inordinate amount of imponance
10 the stcc l wo r ~er's life,.. she said.
Workers would meet there to decide strategy, organize union activities, or just
preserve the cult ural relationships which
otherwise could not be continued because
I he facto ry had been closed .

Yet even in more typical times, Boynton notes taverns still represenr special
d~mains fo r steelworkers. To many, she
S8..1d , the bar serves as a purgatory
between the radically different worlds or
family and factory.
•
''Taverns are transitional zones used
before and after work,,. she said . ..They
serve~ recovery areas or pit stops du ring
good t1mes and a place for consolation
and revelry during bad times." Many
steelworkers visited the neighborhood
tavern on the way to work and then again
after the shift ended on the journey home.
This ritual, Boynton believes, may
represent a kind of spiritual .. washing" in
which home is laundered out or the
worker's psyche before work a nd the factory fr!Cntality is eliminated just prior to
returmng home.
eligion, too, has played a su bstantial
role in the forma t ion of steelworke r
culture and Boynton 's research indicates
the church was more involved in and less
"neutral .. toward the labor movement
than originally believed ...The immigrant
chu rches have a rich tradition in the
steelworkers' culture and are thought of
as a so urce of charity, (as having) a neutral beneficent quality," she said . .. SUI we
are now learning that the church was
more socially active than first thought. ...
This soci~l awareness. she explained.
was most evident in the actions of Father

"Nelson Baker built houses and provded

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

Presbyterian Church.
The coalition of student groups sponsoring the rally made a five point proposal which included dropping all charges
against the arrested students and establishing an arbitration board. This proposal will .. open the lines of communication and prevent future incidents like
this, .. said Student Association President
David Dale. Earlier remarks made by
University District Councilperson Rose
LoTempio concerning the treatment of
the students were challenged by two of
those arrested. LoTempio bad at first
condoned the arrests and claimed that
students were asked if they wanted 'handcuffs and were offered rides back home.
"I was told that in only one of the four
houses were handcuffs used. And that
they were used by request," she said. She
could not list names of those "requesting"
handcuff&lt;.
"We have been misrepresented," said
graduate student Peter Baxter of 323
Highgate -' one of the raided homes.
"We were forced to wear handcuffs, my
face was forced into the cameras of TV
newsmen and I was -held in a chamber
where I couldn~ even duck away from the
lights of those .C'!tperas," raged B~xter, .a

If so, this would only burt the community, be added. "Students have rights
to live wherever they want and it's about
time the city fathers realize what an as~
the University of Buffalo is to this city
and to Western New York.."
Similar to Hoyt in another respect, the
University Heights Community Center
called for positive action and invited students to Join with w and make this a
quality residence we can all be proud of."
An open forum with the center's Housing
Committee will be held March I at 7 p.m.

The coalition of student jroups which
sponsored the rally included in their five
point proposal:
• immediate termination of any further
plans for student ·arrests or harassment;
• a review o.f all complaints in regards
to housina codes or zoning laws by this
arbitration board before tbe complaints
are sent to city otr.cials;
• the creation of a student position on
the Univenity Heights Community Cen·

"These are proposals - not demands,"
clarifted Dale.
"I've always intended for this to

crowd of students. "I know you need an

be greater task or education is
to open,_he eyes of majority
students to the situation of
minorities, • claims Political
Science Chair Claude Welch. And most
faculty and administrators agree this is
absolutely essential in providing a broad
education.
But does UBsuccessfullycompletethis
task? Is the minority exJ!Crience being
communicated to the maJority through
existing courses?
Ontbispoint UBeducatorscan' agree.
Some confidently nod affirmatively,
while other lash out at perceived injustice. Those satisfied say that mainstrum
~ucation encompasses the experiences
of minorities, while concentrated classes
and departments such as American Studies and African-American Studies
round out the education process. Others
cringe at this and call learning in the tractitiooaldepanments middle-&lt;:lau, white,
Procatant, male and, of course, AnaJ&lt;&gt;Saxon. F'llr them the departments
focused on ntinorities are sidepockeu

Sandinistas aren't
communists, tlreir

ambassador asserts
BJ PAUL SIEPIERSKI
he ambassador from Nicaragua
was under fire. The publisher of
a weeldy advertiser told him it
was a ..communist elite force"
that bad overthrown Nicaraguan dictator
Anastasio Somoza in July, 1979, and that
this force could not have succeeded with·
out the help of Cuba. Further, the publisher charged, the Sandinista govern·
ment the ambassador represented in
Washington was now a "leader" in
"impofling communism to Qotral
. America.
"Are you a communist?" th publisher
finally asked. "Are the Sandinistas com·
• muoists? ... When will you bold free
elections?"
Dr. Antonio Jarquin Toledo, Nicara·
gua's ambassador to the United States,
was addressing some 40 Buffalo'area
news media people at the "Daemon
Forum," held at Daemon College, in
Amherst, Feb. 17 at a luncheon. The
ambassador, a pbysici»n educated in
London and Vienna, alao addressed some
200 people in Daemen"s Wick Center
Lo~e later that afternoon.
"It 11 not pOAible Jo~rforrn elections
1 • • as a mqic'- a(l;" Dr. Jarquio
ICIPOnded to the questiom. "That prol:eaa, for your foandill&amp; fathers 200 years

"IHt not

Welr. t
"Nii:inpa. which has
been destroyed by a war, could take five
yean, at least . . .
Nicaragua mtUt first develop an election law and a "law for political parties, •
as well as conduct a censUJ, be explained.
"This il bale. for an eledoral process. •
The Nicaraguan aovernmeot plans to
hold elections nut~ for the offices of
pn:oidctll, vice pn:oidctll, and an usem·
bly whose ftnt duty will be to write a
national constitutiOD, he reported.
After throwi• off "the most terrifying
diclatonhip in the history of the Ameri-

T

r

can continents," continued Dr. Jarqui~
the Sandinista guerrillas found themselves behind desks, trying to organize
the country. Besides having promised,
early on, to hold elections, othor tasks
and problems they faced were even more
overwhelming:
The foreign debt was the equivalent of
three years' gross national product, bdt
there was only $3,000,000 left in the
treasury.
They had to care for SO,OOO children,
whose parents bad died in the revolution.
Malnutrition was so rampant and
health care so bad that one out of every
five babies was dying before the firSt
birthday.
The une!Dploymeot rate was 46%.
while over half the population could not
read.
And the Sandinisw were almost ,
totally inexperienced in running a
government.

"A oyDr.revolution
can be exported, •
Jarquio went on. "Revolutions grow where there are conditions to
grow."
He lilted Msocial io,jUJtice, dictatorships, and munl..- of the people," u cone
dittons promoting revolutions, along
with foreigrl support for these dictatorshipo.
The Sandioiltaa would not be in power

Aml&gt;aaNdor Antonlo JtuVuln ToWo

today, he charged, if it had not been for
some SO years of foreign support the
Somoza regime received. The Somozas
ltilled 300,000 Nicaraguans, including
SO,OOO durin&amp; their last two yean in
power, be alleged .
"Are our (Central American) revolutions Soviet-Cuban born?" he asked. "Or
are they born, perhaps, in the United
States, perhaps from a wrong perception
of what. should be the relationship
between . . . your country and our
counutes?"
The United States had left the Somozas in control of Nicaragua in 1934, after
having occupied that country militarily
for seven yean, the ambassador told his
audience. The U.S. Government had
supported tbe Somoza family, until their
fall four and a half years ago, be said.
"When we speak about being a
communist - that il not the
point, • Dr. Jarquin emphasized. "The
point il that, in Nicaragua, all the different political forces . .. are enp&amp;ed in the
development of the country, ... independent of their ideolOJical and political
backgrounds. •
He characterized theaoverning Frente
Stmdlnuta as a pluralist coalitioa made
up of coiiiCI'i'atives, liberala, •an types of

Marxists. as you have in the United
States, • and others.
O.SO we are not a communist country,"
be concluded. "We are a country which is
trying to develop a new model, a new type
of society. •
Nicaragua maintains a foreign policy
of non-alignment, and receives 60 per
cent of its foreign aid from Third World
countries, ...in the flf'St place, Mexico and
Venezuela, • he reported. Another 2S per
cent comes from Western Europe and the
Common Market, he said, with the
remainder coming from socialist
countries.
The Sandinista government is commit~
ted to developing a democratic society
based on a "1111xed economy" and "democratic pluralism, ... he continued. While
the goV!'mment bas "socialized" the
immense land holdings and other property the Somozas had held, the ambassador said that 71 per cent of Nicaragua's
land, and 62.S percent of its industry, are
still privately owned.
·
.. Can some one say, on top oflhat data.
that Nicaragua bas a totalitarian communist economy?" he asked.
The government favors "the develop·
mcnt of capital," he explained , but th is
development must be within a framework
of national, rather than foreign, interest.
"Aoyooe.can have aU the land he wants
as private property, • be went on about his
country's agrarian reform progrlm. " But
be bas to make that land produce.•
Idle land is "given to·tbose who need it
to survive, ... he said.
sked in what direction he thought
the Reagan Administration's Central American policy was beaded, Dr.
Jarquin lamented that the United States is
on a path'\oward direct military engagement in the region. 'With the Central
Intelligence Agency supplying weapons
to thousands of counter' revolutionaries
along the Nicaragua-Honduras border~
with these "Cootras" staging bombing
raids as ~q.~~cb u 100 ltilometeri ~di
Nicarapa. and with thousaitds of \J.'S.
troops now in Honduras, he charged:
there is a grave risk of war being trjggered
between the two countries, foUowed by
an immediate U.S. involvement.
Alked what he thought the U.S.
wanted in Central America, the amhas·
sador expressed fear that "their political
will is to destroy us, that there is no space
for underatandllli." He believes the U.S.
Government sees the Nicaraguan revolution u a "'bad example" - not a .. new
Cub&amp;," he said - but a threat to neighboring diclatorial repmes.

Ridge Lea Campus: it will be -gone by 1987

ay .IILL-MAJliE ANOIA

the Ulliversity ex paDded in
the 1960s an interim campus
was established in leased

s~tement beJinsa short ICdion on UB't
Rtdgc Lea Campus in a guidebook
enutled llufflllo: Untw,.ity Gild Commlllllly put out by the Division of Public
Affain •n January of 1982. Ridae Lea is
much more than an ....interim campus; .. u
the home of several UB departments, the
campus hu developed a character of its
own. The faculty, staff, and studenll who
are a part of the Rid~ Lea setti"i have
much to say about hfe at UB't "other"
campus; some voice: contentment and
others dissatisfaction.
~u~n~y the University rents eiJht
buikhnp •n the Amherst iDdustrial complex. AlthouJh a new five'-year lease was
IIJned m September, University officials
are planni"i to 'discontinue usc of the
buildi"ii on Rid~"-ca Road by 1987.
Tl)e departments bo~ on .a.. campus •
will be ~oved to the ""'bent Campus.
AccordiDJtO the usistani vice president
for finance and managcment, Oifford ,
Wilson, the &amp;oal is to "add to the Univer- '
sity atmosphere" and "cteate a true tib- '
eral arts university center at Amherst."

Estimates are that relocalion to Bonner
Hall will take place in January of 191~.
Presently the department is split between

are "very crowded" in the words of Professor David Benenson. "This poup is a

Volume 15, No. 2o

By ANN WIDTCHER
n an address here February 24,
Regis Debray, p&lt;!litical theorist,
author, 1960s activist and DOW spe·
cial adviser on Latin American
affairs to French President Francois Mitterrand, discussed general themes in
French foreign policy. Debray said be
was speaking only as a visiting French
intellectual, however, rather than in any
official capacity.
·
In an hour-long address given in
French, Debray said the Mitterrand
government is trying to give unallied
Third World nations an opporturtity to
assert themselves politically and economically. This, be indicated, will or would
serve as an alternative to alignment with
either western or eastern ...blocs."' That
is, his government favon what the
French call Ma North-South orientation
a!ld cooperation." The Mitterrand
government, be emphasized, rcsjlCCts the
sovereignty rights of other peoples. At
the same time, it is aware that Third
World conflicts often involve historic,
ethnic, economic or social factors independent of specifically East-West

co~derations.

~

In -Lebalmn, where France is of this

writin~ keeping its multinational force

troops, the French goal was initially to
separate warring Israeli and Palestinian
forces, Debray stated. Throughout the
ensuing Lebanese crisis, France has tried
to reconcile warring factions, without in
any way adQpting an "anti-Soviet strategy." Rather, Debray said, the Mitter·
rand government bas attempted to serve
as an effective and neutral mtermediary

Mitterrand govemm~nt wants to help
unallied Third World assert itself,
adviser to French president says
in this grievous conflict.
In general, said Debray, French foreign policy vis·a·vis the Third World
transcends the questions of East and
West Mblocs" or MCold War" considera·
tions. "Instead, he indicated to the Kiva
Auditorium audience, the French have
realistically pivoted their Third World
policy on a belief that there arc many
causes behind the various conflicts which
have occurred since the era of decoloniza·
tion and later, at the end of the period
usually referred to as detente.
ranee, Debray concluded, does not
conduct its foreign policy Min the spirit
of a crusade," nor in "the spirit of expansionism, illusion or ideolO&amp;Y· "This essential reasoning, he indicated, is behind a
number of recent French foreign policy
initiatives such as increased talks With the
P.L.O. and the maintaining of ties with
.Vietnam, with which it has long bad cui·
tural ties anyway.
This policy of&gt; respect for the sover·
eignty rights of other peoples without

F

regard to East or West ali~ent, was
only part of the French foreign policy
outlined briefly in Debray's talk.. Europe,
be reminded, is still the major concern of
French Foreign policy. For one thing,
half of all French commerce is with the
European Community, especially with
West Germany. Debray said the Miner·
rand government supported the NATO
deployment in Europe of U.S.-built
Pershing II and Cruise missiles, not
because France believes the Soviet Union
has. war-like intentions. Rather, the Mitterrand government feared the loss of a
strategic balance in Europe with the pres·
ence of Soviet intermediate-range
nuclear forces. Paciftsm is futile, be indi·
cated, and is not to be confused with
peace, which results from an equili~·um
of forces, and not from a desire for ace
alone.
The Mit(errand government is loy to
he Atlantic Alliance, said Debray,
o
went on to describe the position of
France in European affairs.
During a question-and-answer period,

Debray: said Mittemnd is •both deeply
rooted in his own country aod knowledgeable in world affairs; termed French
foreign policy "relativistic rather than
moralistic; and said '"it is not in the interest of peace for capitalist countries to
. impose a gap between the rich and poor
in Third World nations." Asked al&gt;out
the recent U.S . withdrawal from
UNESCO, Debray said he felt it had not
beeQ a wise move.
- De bray also gave a brief statistical survey of France in the world-wide economy, noting France's position in the
European Community; its permanent
posi!Jon on the United Nations Security
Council, its central position among 14
Francophone (French-speaking) ·COun·
tries uruted by defense accords, and with
26 African nations which arc united by
accords of economic privilege. It is also at
the center of the 34 nations belonging to
what is&lt;:alledfrancophon~. the Frenchspeaking world.
In introducing Debray, Dr. Michel
Serres, distinguished French intellectual
and visiting Melodia E. Jones professor
of French, praised Debray for his "true
intelligence." Debray•s is not an intelligence based on theory alone, said Serres,
but also on the kind of social activism for
which Debray is famous. Serres also
called Debray a "transformer" of the
world, not only through his wide-ranging
political and philosophical writings, but
also tbro1J8b his works of fiction. These
include L 'lnduirab/e, La Mige bruk and
k Scribe.
Debray's visit was sponsored by the
Department of Modem Languages and
Literatures.

Prof's son coming home .with the Mendelssohn
hen the Buffalo Chamber
Music Society presents the
Mendelssohn Quartet, hailed
by the N~w York Tim~s as
....among the very best .. of the new string
quartets, Tuesday, March 13, it will mark
a homecoming.
·
Ira Weller, the vi olist oft he quartet, is
a former local resident. He is the
you ngest member of a musical family.
His father, professor of chemical
engineering at UB, and his mother. a
psychiatric social worker, were (and arc)
accomplished pianists. His older sisters,
Judith and Susan. and his brot her,
Robert, are all professionals who make
music their avocation. Ira is the only fulltime professional musician in the family.
When he arrived in Buffalo ((rom
California) in 1965, Ira bad already.
played the violin for four years. Here he
studied with ()qyck Aird a nd Pamela
Gearhart. He is probably best remembered ~lly for his performance, at age
13, of....~zart 's "Adelaide" Concerto
with Dr. ~seph Wincenc and the
Amherst Sy bon1'(&gt;rchestra. According to the late wscriticJohn Dwyer, be
played "in a surprisingly grown-up style
- big, full-arm bowing, good vibrato,
small spaced trills, a nice clear melodic
line. and a few heav~sent mistakes so
the rest of us can live in peace. He soared
and flourished in the twb-voiccd cadenza,
and a stand-up audience called him back
several times ...
In Buffalo, Ira had the good fortune of
participating in the UB-.ponsored string
seminars led by the members of the
Budapest Quartet and their auccc:saon,
the Cleveland Quartet. He journey¢ to
Cleveland for similar intcnaive study
with members of the Guarneri String
Quartet. Ira alao spent a year atudying
with Rami Sbevelov in Israel. When he
returned, he enrolled in tbe Juilliard
School of Muaic. where his teachers were
Ivan Galamian and Sally Tbomaa. He
received both a bachelor's and a maater's
degree from Juilliard.
Since then, u a performing artist bued
in New York, he baa been concertmaater
of the Villaae LiJht Opera Group and the
New York Pro Arte Chamber On:bestra.,

W

which toured the Soviet Union. He also
pe.r formed with Mostly Mozart and other
chamber orchestras. In 1979. be took up
the viola and wu chosen to participatetin
Music from Marlboro, afterwards
becoming a member of ttleir touring
eRJembles.
Aloo In 1979, Ira and three otheratrif18
players formed the Mendeluohn Stri114
Quartet. Tbe lint violiniat is Laun
Smuk.ler (Mrs. Ira Weller), Juilliard
graduate and Marlboro performer; the
second violiniat is Nicholas Mann, abo a
Juilliard graduate, and son of Robert
Mann oftheJuilliard String Quartet; and
the "!'Uist is Marcy Rosen. a graduate of

the Cunis lnatitute. Startina ai the
quartet-in-reaidencc at the Hebrew Arts
School, the Mendeluohn Quartet won
the YounaConcertAni.sucompetition in
1981. Their earecr bu blossomed since
then. Recently they sianed a three year
cont ... ct with the Santa Fe Music
Festival to serve u quanet·in-.rctidcnce
durina the festival .
After a January, 1983, concert in New
York, Allen Huahea of the N. Y. nmts
said of them: "These splendid musicians
have been extremely fortunate in find ina
· one another, for their akilla a nd lalenta

have been made to ao toaether. In thl '
concert, at leaat, the artistic: reaultathey
achieved u a group seemed to O&gt;tceed
anythina · they co uld accomplis h indlvidvally, And that, of course, is what
cham her muaic is all about."
Under the auspices of the Buffalo
hamber Music Society, the four will
play worb of Mozart, Dvof'8k, Wolf,
and Crawford-Sceaer. The performance
will take place in the llfary ~ton Room
of Kleinhans Muaic Hall, Tueaday,
March 13, 8:00p.m. Ticketa are SIO ($4
for atudents). F urther information ca n be

the support of the administrati n is one
.. of the most important steps. M netary
support to "nurture the concentrated
prOJr&amp;IDI in this stage" has got to be
there, asserted Palmer.
But right now, accordina to Pappas,
Licence and Matilla, sucb.support is not
there. wDespite President Sample's commitment to minorities there have been no
· manifeswions. Funding is an uphiU battle and our proaram bas bad negative
growth since 1972. The solution requires
a serious commitment on the part of
administraton, • said Mat ilia.

wThcre ought to be a campaign to get

on the part of whites, bued on age-old
myth."

America's love affair with · Los Angeles' most
famous suburb is far from a nee.ting infatuation,
beginninr,long before sound. When Woodrow Wilson
was president and Valentino seemed more like at~
graphical error for February 14than a "great" matinee
idol. Throughout the "Roaring 20's," Hollywood
couned the nation, offering such favors as Mary
Pickford , Richard Dix, and the sultry Gloria Swanson.
After the advent of sound, the infatuation turned into a
torrid love affai r, a romance which, in different forms,
continues today.
"Hollywood has provided the American audience
wi th a nexi ble, enjoyable and consistent mythology,"

y 1983, just about every segment and class of
American society was addicted to the movies,
with families spending over $25 a year in tbeaters in
spite of the continued hardships of the Depression.
Accordjng to Plesur, 61 per cent of the American
public attended movies at least once a week prior to
Pearl Harbor; a decade later, 90 million people went to
the cinema_weckly. " Despite the penny- pmching so
in Depression America, there was always

An imponant cog of the movie

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

From page 1
bottom of the ship . .
Jacobi is among those who believe that
burial locations being considered on land
by the U.S. government for disposal of
high-level nuclear waste may pose a
serious threat to future generationi.
He is also skeptical about proposals to
send dangerous nuclear waste into outer
space, possibly beyond our solar system.
His assessment: Easier said than done.
The logistics involved show that, aside
from the high cost. only a relatively small
amount of the nuclear wastes we conllnue
to generate could be rocketed into the
vast beyond, given our current space
shuttle capacity. Even so, the J:o~ational
Aeronautics and Space Admtmstrauon
(NASA) has studied the possibilities and
may well continue to do so.
Any outer-space disposal plan would
require a failsafe ejection systef!1 plus a
container llturdy enouab to withstand
reentry and impact should a payload
come tumbling back to earth.
Even if reprocessina.were used to min·
imize the volume of orbttal waste, we still
would need burial capability on earth to
dispose of the surplus.

lso proposed has been ice disposal,
whereby containers of hot radioactivewaste would wind up in the ice fields of
Antarctica, or possibly Greenland,lefi to

A

eventually melt their way to rock level.
Geological evidence carries a warning of
possible ice surges that eould cause waste
canisters to be ejected into ocean waters,
Jacobi noted. Ice disposal also eould run
afoul ofthe s&lt;K:alled "greenhouse effect." Jacobi mentioned one other nuclear·
waste disposal method that eould pose a
threat to mankind.
He disclosed that Japanese environmentalists have eomplained bitterly that
ships from Russia and Japan have been
observed dumping nuclear waste in the
Pacific. There also have been reports of
Great Britain dumping in the Atlantic.
"They just roll barrcls off the deck and
don' know where they wind up," Jaeobi
commented.
While scientists disagree on what specifically oonstit.utes a d~nger level, ..
there is agreement that acc1dental exposu re to radiation, even in small doses,
may be dangerous.
l It is known that radiation can penetrate human tissue - for good or bad.
While x-rays and radiation therapy are
considered beneficial in the field of medirine, radioactivity, under certain othf.r
circumstances, has been known to cause
cancer, genetic abnormalities, birth
defects - and death. ·
That's the prime reason Jaeobi and
other members of the subseabcd · e
assessment committee plan to conuQue
their Pacific Ocean research in search of a
..final answer...

Cropp.assists in pioneer trans~lant on cystic fibrosis victim

BJ BRUCE S. KERSHNER

.

be world's lint known ~rt­
lung transplant to lie eon
ed
on a cystic fibrosis patien took
place recently due.to the orta
of UB ProfCitor of Pediatria Dr. Gerd
Cropp.
The 2S-year-old patient, whose bean
and lung had been damaged by the disease, had been carefully seleeled and
waited six months before a donor could
be (ound. Richard Dinsbier, the patient,
and Dr. Cropp had only four hoursto fly
to Pittsburgh where the operation was
performed.
"Any statements about the effects of
theunuaual operation on the pros peels of
other cystic fibrosis (CF) patients would
be premature," Dr. Cropp stated. While
th~ patient ultimately d1ed of eomplication' of transplant surgery, the operation
is u important to CF victims as the first
heart transplant in 1967, orthe fmtartilicial hca~ transplant in 1983. In both
these historic cases, the patients died, but
the knowledae pined was ~nvaluable for
aublequcnt and more successfulattempts.

AJthough both the patient and his physician were from the Buffalo area, the
transplant tool&lt; place in Pittsburgh
because it has the team in the U.S. with
the greatest experience in heart/ lung
transplant• in patients with luna disease.
Besides being a professor of pediatrics.
Dr. Cropp is also an asaistant professor
of physiology and diftelor of the Child:
reo's Luna and Cystic Fibrosis Ce.n ter at
Children's Hospital in Buffalo.
Dr. Cropp made one more pointabout
what it will take to improve the prospeels
of this - and all - types of transplant
operations. •• tfthe medical advances arising from transplants are to offer ne w
hope in end staae disease of seleeled
organs, then success will depeod on
availability of healthy orpns." Dr.
Cropp remarked.
Fortunately, the pui&gt;lic attitud e
towards orpn donation is changing and
more people are willing to dollllte their
orpns should tbcy die unel!pected ly.
Effective and penistent appeals for orga n
donations ar.e, otill needed, however. to

this operation. The ne.x t time we do it, i\
will be safer 1tnd the chances of auccqs
will improve. In any case, such operations will always be very aerious and at
this time are only a last reaort," Dr.
Cropp commented.
Cystic Fibrosis is a aenetic diiorder
that leadato cloging ofsmall tubes from,
the glands that secrete mucus and otber
fluids. This can make the lunp susceptible to infeelion, damaae the digestive system and eventually weaken the bean.
Believed to occur once in every 2000
births, the disease has attacked some
30,000 Americans.
In an attempt to reduce the chance that
the patient's body would reject the traQ!·
planted organs, he was aiven the expenmental drua· cyclosporine. Just tentatively approved for spec;ial applications
by the Food and Drug Adm10istration,
the drug stippreasea the bOdy'• natural
rejeelion of foreign cells. While Mr.
Dinsbier did not reject his new orp110
while. he remained alive, his immunosuppreuion left his system vulnerable and he
died of cytomeplovirua and systemic
yeaat infection, eoupled witb acute ter-minal bronchopneumonia.
Dr. Cropp remai111 encouraaed l~'
ever. This kind of oper-ation "may offer a

final attempt at therapy that, if SIICCCSsful, may add many yean of longevity to
these patients," the UB professor said.
"With even better drup in tbc future,
more optimal preparation of the patients
and more experience with their postoperative manaaement, this could Jive some a
second lease o_n life,~ he added.
1
h is therapeutic approach may
answer im{'Ortant questions witb
regard to genetiC control of the bodily
function in this disease. If the transplanted lung does not become infeeled, it
would suggest that the vulnerability of
the lung in cystic fibrosis is controlled by
the genetic endowment of each cell.
However, if the lung gradually assumes
the abnormality usually seen in cystic
fibrosis, then it is likely that tho functions
oJ tho cells in the lung are controlled by
some humoral factor which is produced
somewhere in the body," Cropp
explained.

Presidential pair barbed for charity
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI

acuity and students gathered last
week in. fancy garb to poke fun
and have a few laughs at the
expense of President Sample
and SA President David Dale. The occasion - . though some jesters suggested
that none was needed - was UB's second
Benefit Roast for Children's Hospital
through the Variety Club Telethon.
Some familiar faces from last year's
rout were on the dias. There was former
Student ldTain VP Richard Sigclkow,
who entertained the audience with his
inside story of what occurs at the President's infamous early mornin&amp; meetings
with his VPs. Former SA President Joe
Rifkin was also on hand as was his
academic anathema Dr. Robert Pope
(8CtuaUy, they lite each other, they
s-..). One acw face who JOt more than
his share of laughs was James Rqliri,
public affairs direetor at the Univenity of
Nebraska, who obviously delighted in
dragina his former coUcasue, Sample,
owr~ tha coals.
, .
The night was lona, starting at 6:30
with cocktails and runnina until after
midnight; 10 lona, in f8Ct,that after a few
hours mo -#tv~ rqtaa« Dayic{ ij~tl11
erly got tired of ~llina obnoxtous oat
calls from the audicncc. But it was fun.
MOll people on the diu agreed it was
difTICUit to poke fun at Dale since he
suffers from. a terminal case of wholesome, all-American, "teddy-bear" syndrome. Fortunately, President Sample
proved to be a much easier target. Here's
a sample of some of the barbs direc:ted
toward him:
• " - Rllglln: -At UB Steve has a
very commodious olfiCC with all the
u-.ppinp of importance, includina wall
space for his one honorary dqpec from
the Collcac ol Royal Academic Personages -that's CRAP for short.
-steve bas a otaiT here too. Back in
Lincoln, we gave him a K-Mart recorder,
charged blm for the ba1terics, and bad
. ~ wort with two ~ on work

F

release from the state penite..(ltiary . .. One
of who succeeded him.
"You took Steve Sample to Buffa!o for
an entirely new role - leadership. Let me
tell yo u about Steve Sample's achievements in Nebraska. He persuaded NBC
to drop a program originally called
' Lincoln Larry.' Now it's known as
'Buffalo Bill.' And for that we are grateful
to you. Steve."
• Dr. Robert Pope, history professor
and former chair of the Faculty senate:
-steve has that nice, easy, comfortable
western style that we sbouldn\ knock.
You have to admire that 'just plain Steve'
image. When I fint met him he was living
in a garage apartment; just a simple,
frugal, unusumina man. I dicln\ know he
was just waiting for them to finish the
Presidential palace on LeBrun. Let me
tell you, if they gave FTE's for the
number of people who've bad free drinks

in his Jiving room , we wouldn' just be

hiring facu lty in Engineering.
"I recently heard from Sal Esposito
that there was a fire in

Stevc~s

house that

destroyed his entire library - all two
books. Steve was furious because he
hadn' finished coloring one of them.
"There area couple of gifts I bought for
Steve, but I dido' bring them because I
dido' want other people to think they
had to buy presents. One is a big bottle of
Scope, beCause anyone who has his
mouth open that much deserves pro~·
tion. Second, I bought him a copy of
John Malloy's Dress for Succus. And
finally, a neat tittle book I recently
found, Ten Days to an Exciting
PenoiJQiity. •

Vol- 11, No. 1t

Coetzee
South Africa's
premier author.
visits at UB.
By ANN WHITCH£R

workl-famous writer, he can
dazzle with his powers of
expression and the somber
intensity of his art. But in an
interview he is extreme.ly spare or phrase,
his soft-spoken ~ponses occasionally
tinged with impatience, though he is
always cow;teous.
The reticence of J. M. Coetzee, distinguished visitiD&amp; novelist, from South
Africa, appean to extend to any afterthe-fact analysis of his art. Art, oae can
infer, is its own reason for beina, and
jounaalistic examinations therein may be
pointiiiiS, even stupid, in his view. One is
reminded of Samuel Beckett's fabled
desire for privKf'bd his firm dislike of
personal publicity. Or of the sreat pianist /composer Anur Schnabel who once
commented that "My sole employer is the
art, .. when insensitively asked to tailor his
recital prosrams to the "tired business
man" by frazzled concert promoters.
Since winnins Britain's top award for
fiction, the Booker McConnell Prize for
Fiction in October, Coc:tzee has been
"harassed" by the press, and frankly finds
interviews a ctu&gt;re, if not a likely •mpingemeot on his scholarly and arustic
activit·ies.
"I do find interviews bard to ta,l&lt;e and if
I didn' take fairly strenuous efforts to
protect myself, I have no doubt I would
have been IW&amp;mped, particularly after
the Booker Prize announcement," he
says. "But I've been moderately suc:eessful in maintainina a private li{e."
Coctz.ee, here fpr the apriD&amp; semester as
VisiliD&amp; Butler Prbfeaor in the Departmeat of EnaJjsh, aays he does not write
easily. Tb.iJ fact milkes all the more
impreuive his ability to write soraeously,
with aardonie beat or with compasaionate
lyricism. His philosophical meaoclcrinp
are often brilliantly pivoted on an
obvious love of words.
Tboup Coc:tzee be&amp;ao his adult life.
with a mathematic&amp; dearee from the Univenity or Cape Town, followed by seve.ral yean of work in the computer industry, his interats soon turned ellewhere,
u be e.amed a Pb.D. in linauistics and
literatun: from the University of Texu.
He taucJd at UB u uaistaot profesaor of
j;qJillt from 1!168 to 191,1, and bepn
writin&amp;, not in iodettnniDal4 ..,..,.,.,but
prncioely on January I, 1970. "I made a
New Year\ reeollllion to1HAe'l'i-..1,"
be reports, He now teaches at the University of Cape Town. a city of DCilrly

Later, when confmed in a rehabilitation camp hospital and bearing the mar~
of bls severe malnutrition, Mtchacl is
cared for by a pharmacist turned medical
officer who "is attracted to Michael for
reasons which are not very clear to him ....
as Coc:tzee putsitdurinJthe interview. At
first the officer is equ1vocal: "Michaels
with his fantasy or making the desert
bloom with pumpkin nowen is another
of those too busy, too stuf.id, too
absorbed to listen to the whee s of historr.." Later, he is almost admirin1 ofthia
frail alip of mao, who steadfutly refuses
to tell the officer "his story." "As time
pasaed, however, I slowly began !o see the
oriainaJity oft he resistance rou offered . .
. Michaels means sometb•na. and the
meattin&amp; he bu is not private to me."
Coctz.ee, ulted if he is speaking
tbroqb the officer, denies such a literal
directness, sayina only that the medical
offiCer "is his own man, • though the ·
novelist's sympathies "are always with
Mic*l. • As the officer tells Noel, the
sometimes benevolent camp commander:
" . . . but what I say ia true: people like
Michaels are in touch with thiJIP you and
I donl understand . They bear tbe e.all of
tbe pat aoocl muter and they obey.

ho says women can't fight in
the front lines for their
country? Sa'i'llh,McClendon,
a hard-h.ittin&amp; journalist in
the nation's capital, says she's been doing
it for over 40 years - armed only with her
pen and reporter's note_!&gt;ook.
The well-known McClendon, founder
of Sarah McOendon News SerVice in
Washington, D.C., defended· the press
and women's rights with vigor last
Tuesday at a benefit dinner for the Red
Cross at the Marriott Hotel.
S"e railed against public cynicism
concerning the media, saying, " M.ost
civilians - by that I mean people who,
aren't reporters - don't quite understand
our role. We're fi~rs in the front lioes,
defending rights." ·
The Reagan administration is responsible for manipulating the ,press and
prometing public animosity, said lhe

women of the press fight
-in front lines, says a vet _

woman who has covered nine presidents.
.. This administration is extremely
antagonistic to the press. The guys in the
Nixon adminis\ration were babes in the
woods in terms of press manipulation,
compared to Reap.n and his crew."
The two daily White House press
briefings "tell us nothing," she said. "We
ha~veto run around outside the White
Ho
to find anything out. There is no
f
om ofthe press in this country - it's
t.irlie someone said that."
To the American democracy this is a
real threat, she ,bdicvei. The founding

idea that the people of the country would

months to conslruct, Uld arrangina.the /
dozens of "individually designeamosses.
The "lnscctory" will be populated by
the spoils ofthe Cohen's numerous bug
safaris. But, he warns, viewers should
not expect to view many rarities. Unlike
Enalish archenloaists who pillaaed
Greek Uld Egyptian tombs for the glory
of the British Museum, Cohen subscribes to the !henry that collecton
must remember they are guests of the
nalions they explore. MWe will leave aq ·

of a kind," be sa.id. MWc don' talte; we
give, and the (celina is reciprocal (from
the governments)."
Cohen's ... baring plan" seems to be
reaping dividends, he noles, because
although he Uld bis wife have had no

oversee the government. That means an
educaled public - educated by the press.
'Rlcy thought us important enough to
write us into the document,,.. McClendon
noted.
She cited the exclusion of reporters in
the Grenada invasion , a recent
squelching Mby White House intimidation" ofa New York 7imesstoryonthe
Navy Department and the increase in li..
detector"tests for suspected governmental
leaks, as examples of infringement on
"what we should be able to write about.
"There are 1001 stories people should
know. We don't know why we invaded
Grenada. Why weren't tbe Marines
pulled' out of Lebanon when they said
they would be? We don't even know what
the Federal Rcscrvcdocs. ldon'tknow nobody knows - but I do know it bas an
awful lot to do with our li~es . "
The animdsity of the public is ironic,
" but, then, lhe public doesn't know the
press, they don't know the press was in on
0-Dayin World Warll, thatwecankeep
secrets for national security. We work for
public good. n
ccording to McQendon, guests
invited to the White House are
regularly warned against the White
House press corps. "They're so enamo1ed
to have been invited, they believe
everything. If they're told the White
House press is made up of liberals and
leftists, they believe it. ~
In addition, the Freedom of Information Act is "in great trouble," she
contends. The CIA is urging increases iO
exceptions and the FBI is opposed to the
act as a whole.
Turning to women's riahts , the
former Army member sa.id, Mit's a damn
lie to uy tbc Reapn administration is
fair to women..,
It is her contenlion thai Rcapn kept
Representative Pat Bailey from chairing
the Republican party. "He11 be holding a
big RartY for Susan B. Anthony's
birthday, but it's all just a show."
But, she added, with Reagan,
everything is a "big sham. Everything is
staged carefully."
·
Of the nine presidents whose terms her
career has encompassed, only MHarry
Truman was always direct and honest,
although Carter tried," McClendon
assessed.
The benefit evening was sponsored by
the Buffalo Chapter of Women in
Communications, Inc., in association
with Sigma Delta Chi/ Society of Profcuional Journalists.

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

8 President Steven B. Sample is enthusiastic about the
Commission on lh~ Future of State University
appointed last week in Albany to asses where the
35-year-old, sprawling University system goes from
here in terms of mission and objectives, financing and st-ructure.
. The timing for nomine the commission is particularly auspi·
·caous, President Sample said Tuesday because Governor Mario
Cuomo has made it clear that he'S concerned about and sympa·
thetic to State University.
One of the things the commis ion will study. Sample pointed
out in an interview with the R~porltr. is the need for greater
autonomy for SUNY with respect to the executive bureaucracy.
Sample noted that the Governor in his budget message and in his
actions has indicated that he feds the SU Y Trustees should
have grea.ter freedom to J&lt;Overn the system directly. In this sense.
Sample suggested, the commission tn its del iberation could be
picking up on and reinforcing a direction already established by

U

the Govemer earlier this year.
The Governor deserves high praise for the leadcr.;hip role he
has taken in ghing the Trustees the authonty and OeJ&lt;ibility to
govern the system. Sample said. And. he continued. "I ha&gt;&lt; to
believe that the commissiOn will in all probabilityretnforoethose
initiatives already taken by the Go\"Ctnor."
Sample offered that he is. as anyone would have to be.
impressed with the quality of individuals who -.ill scm• on the
study panel. "This is a real blue ribbon commi ion. "he said. "Its
members include national leader.; of the highest caliber. I doubt
that anyone in American hi&amp;her education other than Chf
Wharton could have put together such an impressive commi •
sion." Sample said the Chancellor deserves high praise fo r takin&amp;
the initiative with the Trustees to launeh the study.

the President said, that the recommendations of the commission will be taken
seriously both by the public and by ·the
political leadership of the Srate.
Another situation portending well for
careful consideration of the results of the
commission's &amp;tudy, Sample believes, is
that the Legislature, along with the Governor, is becoming increasingly concerned about the health of SUNY and
increasingly aware of the role that the
State University can play in the economic
revitalization of New York State.

the need for building a f&lt;w of the campuses within SUNY into t~ centers of
national excellence."
In response to the question of whether
he has any suggestions for which campuses might be groomed for such flagship
status, Sample told the Reportrr that "of
course," be feels "the Buffalo campus is
already one of, if not the major center of
excellence within the system. And we are
appreciative of the support we have
received over the past 20 years; but there
remains the basic question of priority and
emphasis. Should SUNY undertake to
develop one or more campuses to such a
level of. excellence that they would stand
with the very finest public universities in
the U.S.?"

ersonally, the UB President indicated, be hopes the commission will
pay a great deal of attention to the issue
of quality within the SUNY system.

Sample discusses autonomy, retentio~ and building withSemde

T

he possibility of more auto-

nomy, a low student retention

rate and the campus "buildout"
were discussed by President
Sample at Tuesday's Faculty Senate
meeting, while Senators countered with
comments on UB's faltering interdisciplinary programs and the lack of support
shown to them by the University
administration.
As pan of a two-year experiment, the
Governor has dectded to allow four
SUNY campuses-oneofwhich will be a
University Center - to have greater
autonomy through increased management flexibility, Sample told th&lt;
Senators.
With no attempt to mask his enthusiasm for the idea - one which he has
personally pitched to the Albany hierarchy - Sample said it is unimportant
whether UB is selected for the experiment; be is just happy they are "going in
that direction." The climate in the State
couldn\ be better for raising the question
of increased oelf-aovemance, Sample
added, predicting that the Chancellor's
blue ribbon panel charaed with studying
SUNY's future will also addreu the issue.
After two decades of "pbyaical turmoil," the President aaid, the time bas
come for a Mmajor, concerted effort" to
complete UB'I ~uildout" on the Main
Street and Ambcnt campiiiCS. As
opposed to other SUNY campiiiCS, Sample pointed out that UB hal ectually

SUNY campus without a completed core

Unlike olher lar'e public universities

majors, UB does not. On tbe other hand.
New York State bu a aood supply of
them, Sample said, and if UB makes a
strong effort, it should be able to increase
its share.
Despite its good faculty, metropolitan
location and a relatively cheap tuition,
UB is still bu.r dened by an "image problem," Sample said, adding that potential
students don' realize how good tbe University is. In addition, UB bas an ~incred­

History resolution brands fellowship plan 'ill-conceived'
By JOHN K. LAPIANA

new system for awarding University graduafe fellowships is
under attack from both History Department facult y and
students who term the recently. imple·
mented formula "ill-concCived" and
"insulting" to students already enrolled in
graduate work.
The department recently released a
resolution condemning the fellowship
policy, which, the authors of the position
statement noted, includes .. some undesirable, even inequitable characteristics."'
.. As our resolution says, there may be
some advantages to the new system, but it
still cOntains a number of concerns which
bother us," explained Gtorg lggers, History Department chair. "(Through the
resolution) we want not only to register
these concerns but to encourage a reevaluation of the proposal." Although
the new policy will result in. some gradu·
ate students earning more money than
can be presently earned, lggers pointed
out that overall fewer will be fupded .
According to the fellowship guidelines,
100 students already awarded assistant·
shi ps may receive up to an additional
$3000 to raise their stipends to $10,000.
ThiJ system replaces the previous fellow·
ship system in which SO students, in addation to those granted assiJtantships,
would receive University-wide funding.
The money formerly earmarked for these
SO special talowships will, beginning
next semester, be reapponioned for the
100 new stipend increases.
Thus noted History Professor EDen
DuBoi;, a department, such as History,
which boasted' l3 graduate assistants as
well as three other students on various
\J nivenitl {elloW&amp;bips, will lose those
~ po•itions. Al\ .16 students, if they return , must battle for the
remaining 13 spots along with any incoming candidates. "The Graduate School's
assertio~"' the resolution said, ...that the
new policy constitutes an ·expansion· of
graduate support is misleading in part. "
Under the new system, University Fellowship recipients arc required to teach
undergraduates. Holders of present fellowships are not. The interim guidelines
state, "the teaching assignment of a University Fellow should not exceed halfthe
maximum service expected of a teach ing
assistant."'This stipulation, DuBois contends. hinders both departmental func-

A

tioning. and the student 's acad c~ic
e ndeavors. "These (Fellows) may reee1ve
more money." she said. "but the fellowships will not provide as much time away
from teaching (for research)."
...The time is. for me, more attractive
than the money, "added graduate student
Gretchen Bouliane. Without the rigors of
instructing or assisting in an undergrad
class. previous fellowship winners were
expected to use the additional "free-time"
for research or other scholarly pursUits.
Horne departments are punished since
such designated students arc r-:quired to
carry o nl y·""half the work load of regular
graduate st udents, .. as the History resolution put it.
According to the History Department
resol ution, "Departments judged 'best"
by the administration will be penalized in
that the more fellows they receive the
fewer full-time graduate assistants they
will have. "'
•
Criticizing the .. th ree-tie r"' pay scale .
the new guidelines foster, Bouliane said
next year's graduate assistants' salaries
will range from $5000 to $10,
, a gap,
the resolution adds, which "cannot help
but be disastrous to the morale of those
incumbents who arc not recipients'" of the
new awards. Non-fellowship winners will
be ~secon d or third class" persons, the
resolution predicts, doing two times the
amount of a feUowshtp winner's work for
two-thirds or half the salary.
"There will be serious wage d itTeren·
tials among graduate students," Du~
said, adding that she believes the new

guidelines are ... funny response" to the
past .. pressure .. the administratio~ has
received concerning its graduate stipend
policies.
Man y History Department members
said they are especially "worried" about
what methods will be employed to select
the University Fellows. According .to
interim guidelines distributed by Vice
President for Resean:h and Graduate
Stud ies Donald W. Rennie, departments
must make nominations to their res-pee·
ti vc faculties, which, in tum, forward a
limited number of candidates to an ad
hoc committee appointed by Rennie.
From a maximum of ISO candidates, 100
fellows will be selected . However, that
selection process has raised the ire of both
students and faculty mentors.
" How are these ehoiees going to be
made?" asked DuBois, questioning what
effects the ""centralization"' of selection
may have. " We are concerned that the
ease with which QP A and G REscores can
be added up will mean that some harned
committee. working under a time constraint, will give d isproportionate weight
to easily quantifiable data rather than to
other academic criteria,.. the resol ution
warns, adding that paper presentations,
quality of counc work, and GA / TA
duties, are, while more ..difficult to
reduce to a number,.. of o.rar greater
importance" in evaluating a fellowship
prospect.
.. No matter what job you work on,'"
reasooed History graduate st udent Paul
RQ4ell, "promotion is based. on a lot of
thingJ. To base everything on ·an undergraduate QPA or GREscore ignores the

hile acknowledging that a major
factor in the rehabilitation of the
old fellowship system was to make the
awards more appealing for incoming students, DuBois doubts that the new system achieved its overall goals. "This program's intention is to lure students hert ...
she said , "but not reward them after
they"re here."
The best ... lure, .. countered grad Studer~ Carol Schimminger, is not a fellowship grant which meets financial needs
but a faculty which will meet a student"s
intellectual and academic requirements.
"We have had a great loss of faculty and
there are gaps(ineertain areas of study).""
she said . "Instead of just throwing monel
around , maybe the University should
look into hiring more faculty. This (ne~
fellowship system) is a very one-sided
approach."
"I betieve tbe University should be
competitive and mate an effort to recru n
on a nationwide basis,~ l""rs said . " Bu1
this is a clumsy and unf&amp;Jr way of doing
it."'
"(The idea .of the fellowships) is an
ins ult to students a.lready b~.... Boulianc
argued. " We're doing our work (but no1
getting recognized)." Added Schimmin·
ger, "This is a slap in our face."
Perhaps most irritating to the depart·
ment was that it was not .._consulted and
had no role. in the formulation of the
policy .~ Such actions, the resolut ion
explains. constitute. Mat the 'YeT)' least . a
disregard for the democratic process ol
constituent input and a tendency toward"
the centralization of authority."
"Our department bas h . . no inpul on
this policy,"said Ristory Professor J ohn
Milligon, who noted that the strongl!
worded resolution was accepted ~ uh
only one dissenting vote during a i-ectn1
departmental meeting.
..,
·
"This policy was imposled from abo•c
with very •bort notice." lggers satd.
adding thot the department was far al ong

" Who is this decision benefitting····

for S600.000 in State funding over the
next three years for expansion of the
Western New York Technology Devdopment Center (TDC).

Aatow says.
And th at was his introduction to
broadcast journalism.
After gr adu ation, Flatow considered
th ree o ptions: enrolling in law school,
going int o civil e ngineering to specialize
in sewage treat ment, or working for one
year at NP R.
Two men he had been associated with
at WB FO, William Siemering and
Michael Waters, were in Washington.
D.C. sett ing up National P ublic Radio.
Flat ow asked Siemering for a job, but
he was rejected. Two months later.
Waters hired him as a tape editor.
.. You 're going to be a tape ed itor.
You 11 never be on the air! .. Flat ow was
told. Three days later, however, Flato"
was telling bis liste ne rs about the attempt
by the Washington Senators, the capital's
baseball team, to leave D.C.
Flatow did not leave D .C. unul 1981
And then he moved to NP R 's Ne\\ Yorl
Ci ty station.
He has re ported . written, edited and

UB grad is
science reporter
for NPR, PBS
By WENDY AR NDT H UNT
n e nginee ring student whose
h ours were d om inated by his
textbooks a nd slide rules, Ira
A atow.. found himself lured
into broadcast journalism during the
tumultuo us d ays of th"e ant i-Vietnam
War demonstrat ions.
Though he was graduated in 1971 with
a b ac h elo r 's deg ree in indus trial
engineeri ng from UB, he has lived his life
si nce as the science correspondent for
ational Public Radio ( P R).
•·1 think. I beca me a science reporter,"'
Flatow said , ... beca use I like scie nce. You
must like it, because you have to read so

A
much. "

T hree journ als he always read s each
week are Scienct!, Nature and the New
England Journal of Medicine. He a lso
peru ses New Scientist a nd Science News
to help him not only und erstand the field
he covers, but aJso fi nd sto ry ideas.
··You must read t he science journals to
fi nd o ut wha t's new, " he said , explai ni ng
that before he co uld read thejoufnals, he
had to learn the j argon. Once he
und erstood th e la nguage, he could
identify a potential story, und ersta nd the
scientists explain thei r research a nd then
interpret the informat ion for the public.
He mentioned that during one fourhour traio ride from New .York City to
;w._\l,i'l&amp;\011. q .c., ~.e rea4 a l&lt;!tal, of
t'bRe 1"'101 of an article about part1cle
,. physics because he had t o struggle
thro ugh the techn ical te rminology first
a nd then try to piece toget her the
defin itions and concepts.
urt's taken me years to und erstand
particle physics," Flatow said , adm itting
physics is bis.first love in science.
Flat ow entered science journalism with
a minimal background in c hemistry. Like
many of his VB classmates, he said , be '
almost flunked chemistry. But he d id well
in physics, he hastened to add. Besides his
high school c:Ourses, he had no ot.her
education in biology.
But he learned, Some of his colleagues
hold doctorates in the various sciences
and be sought them out to explain what
he could not comprehend. Sometimes
he'd invite them to dinner so they could
talk in depth about something of interest.
" lf you fi nd the right researcher,
though, who can explain his work well,
you don' need a good background in the
field ,.. Flat ow said. The tedious interview
involves a scientist who can't speak
anything but jargon.
There are aJso certain a reas that are

difficult to translate to listeners, he said.,
like genetic e nginee ring, micro biology
a nd pa rticle physics. Not o nly is t he
terminology foreign , b-ut so a re th e
concepts.
Afte r yea rs of reading ma ny di ffe rent
journals on many differe nt topics and
in terviewing ma ny d ifferent people, he
now feels comfortable as a science
correspondenl . His incentive, he said , is
his ove rwhelming n.eed to know what's
h appening.

"I'd like
to see TV
do a weekly
science news
program .."
-IRA FL.(\TOW

hinki ng back 'ro his introductio n to.
journalism, he says. "The most
tra um atic eve nt in my journalistic career
occ urred not when I was in danger of
radiation, not when I was in danger of
freezi ng, but during the ri ots at UB. I
have never bee n more in fear for my life ...
Flatow, who covered the disaster at
Three Mile Island aqd wh o, in 1979 on a
Nat ional Science Foundation expedition,
traveled to th e South Pole, recalled the
late 1960s and ea rly 1970s at UB.
He remembers j t was shortly after the
killings a t Kent Slate and he was wo rking
one night as a report.e r for WB FO, the
campus radi o stat ion based on t he thi rd
floor of the ~t ude nt union. Students had
held a candlelight vigil for the victims of
the Kent State tragedy. Po lice were all
ove r cam pus. Law st udents, Flatow
n:me mbers, had set up a picket line
bet wee n the rows of protestors and the
rows of uniformed officers. But students
kept throwin g th ings al the co ps, Flatow
says, and finall y. one policeman broke
rank and chased after a perpetrator.

T

Suddenly, he says, chaos broke out.
He says that those days and nights have
now blended o ne into a nother, but he
clearly recalls that during that one sp ring
night, tear gas lay thick between the
buildings on the Mai n Street Campus.
Weari ng a gas mask, be t raversed the
campus to repon on the situation. That's
why he was o utside t he student union
when a wh ite station wago n sto pped and
a shotgun leveled o ut the Window. He
witnessed the shooti ngs. He watched as
U B med ical students pulled birdshot out
of thei r bleeding class mates.
WB FO st ayed o n th e air till three that
mo rn ing, he says, until the tear gas seeped
into the studi os and forced the stalt to
vacate the build ing.
The official story was th at students had
fired on students, Aatow says. But he
knows that th at was not the trut h. And
though he saw the wire repo rter, who was
fili ng his story fro m WB FO, piece
together paragra phs t hat countered the

From ,.go 1

ingand Applied Sciences; 18.3 percent in
Health Sciences; 17.7 per cent in Natural
Sciences and Math (the home of computer science); II. 7 percent in Management,
9.9 per cent in Social Sciences; 4.2 per
cent in Arts and Letters, and 2.8 per cent
in Architecture and Environmental
Design. They were also s~re- of their
choices. Only 13 per cent felt 11 bkely that
they'll change their major.
Wllen the question of academic
interest was posed in terms of probable
occupation, 28.1 per cent of the UB
freshmen indicated they intend to be
e.oginccn - a figure almost three times
higher than the national average and
JllOre than double the percentage at all
selective public institutions. At Binghamton / Stony Brook, 10.6 per cent of freshmen have their eyes on engineering
careers. The number one fr«?Shman
career choice at those two institutions is
physician, selected by 16 per cent
(compared to 6. 1 per ~nt ~~ UB and 9.6
at selective public institutions generally).
Among UB freshman men, the call to
engineering is even stronger with 39.9 per
cent of them choosing that profession.
Engineering is also the top choice among
UB freshman women, 10.6 per cent of
wtiom want to go into the field (double
the percentage of women interested in
enginsering a t selective public campuses
nationally). Therapist is the second most
popularcarecrchoiceamong UBwomen,
with computer programmer or analyit
ranked third. The computer field is the
second choice among men hcre(with 10.3
per cent opting for that career).
After IS years of continuous decline in
interest in elementary and secondary
teaching careers, the 1983 survey showed
"' slight increase in percentages of all
freshmen interested in this field (5. 1 per
cent compared to an aU-time low of 4.7
percent last year). In 1967, the number of
freshmen intending to be teachen - then
considered an ennobling, satisfying vocation - was22.4 percent. At UB this year
only 1.3 per cent of freshmen intended to
be elementary or secondary teachers w;th
an even more'ininiscule0.3 percent interested in college teaching.

UB students remain slightly more liberal, much less WASP-ish, and more
technically orientellthan freshmen entertog highly selective public universities as
a whole (even though an arresting H per
cent fewer of this year's UB frosh intend
to beengineero than last year when 36 per
cent of all freshmen picked that -field .)
Coming from less well-to-do families, U B
,_ freshmen are also IJ)Ort: job conscious.
They're perhaps not quite as talented
academically as freshmen at the other
two SUNY centers or at comparvble public universities nati"onally . They're
slightly less liberal than their SUNY
peers: And -just as is true nationally,
they're a different breed than students of
the 60s and earlier 70s.
Nationally, student interest in "being
very weU off financially" reached an all
time high this yea&lt; (69.3 per cent of all
freshmen said making it btg is their goal,
compared to only 43.5 per cent in 1967).
At UB, the percentage was higher still
- 73.8 per cent.

results at UCLA, seems to be the 1980
counterpart to the earlier social revolu·
tion. Thirty-seven per cent of all 1983
freshmen had written a computer program during the previous year (last year
only 27 per cent had). Among UB frosh,
the percentage was much higher. perhaps
reflecting career interests. Here 56 per
cent of freshmen had writtt:n a computer
program in the year before enteri ng college. Despite the dramatic jump in student co ntact with computers between
1982 and 1983, the percentage of students
majoring in computer science nationally
increased only slightly, from 4.4 to 4.5 per
cent. There was actually a slight decline in
the proportion planning careers as com·
puler analysts or programmers (8.5 per
cent in 1983; 8.9 per cent in 1982).
Majors in business claimed a slightly
higher proportion of freshmen interest
nationally this year rising from 24.2 pet
cent in 1982 to 24.4 per ce nL, the highest
in the history of the survey. Here,
however, only 7.3 per cent of freshmen
are considerina, careen in business.

the peak of the social consciousness era in

1967). Just as they are more materialistic,
UB frosh are less concerned about the
examined life than their counterparts at
Binghamton/ Stony Brook and selective
public institutions generally by about
three percentage points.

lexander W. Austin, the UCLA
professor who directed the 1983
freshman study, explained to the Chronic/• ofHirher EdU£DtiOII that "If your goal
is to be rich, this obviates the need to
develop a philosophy of life. Making
money becomes a philosophy of life in
itself."
Other trends suggest that students are
increasingly reluctant to become politically or socially involved. Continuing.
declines were noted in the willinaneu of
students to participate in community
aetion proarams or •n proarams to clean
up lhc environment, to influence lhc poliucalstructure, to keep up with PQtitical
affain, or to promote racial UDdcroiUdiQI.

A

light change in UB frc hman

obody can accuse Ruth Westheimer's audience
of being unprepared.
For three years they have heard her proselytize over the radio for sexual openness.
For the past few months they have watched
her become one of the most popular "celebrity guests" on .
David Letterman's lAte Night.
For the last week, they contributed questions
concerning their sex lives into a bright yellow box in
Capen Hall for the guru of pop sex to answer.

N

And minutes before Westheimer
entered Knox 20 to speak before an
overflow crowd of chanting. giggling,
and rambunctious students, one
woman was spotted brushing up on
her sexualiQ with a well·read copy of
The SeXUDIIy Aggressive Woman.
Westheimer matched her audience's
expectations, regaling the overwhelmingly sophomoric group with tales of
, co~traception, erections, lubrication,
and the "dreaded" Onanism.
Perhaps the only surprise, the
widely syndicated airwave columnist
bad for her audience was her size.
Somehow the graphic tales of sex
sounded a tad strange conoing from a
47" grandmother, who was unable. to
use the lectern reserved for her because
sbe could not see over it.
"I've never left a gathering without
learning somethina uew," she ex·
plained. "I'm sure UB will teach me
something new." The audielicc, well
versed in the frne art of sexual

innuendo, snickered throughout Westheimer's talk, latching onto any word
or phrase which could possibly smaclr.
of -bidden, maybe even Freudian,
meanings. The SA Speakers Bureau
sponsored the evening.
lainring that she is not a "sexual
but a ..sex
C doctor"
Westheimer said she attacks behav-

therapis~ "

ioral and culturaJ obstacJes preventing
sexual fulfillment. For an audience, she
added, "I can only talk in generalities,
I cannot do therapy on the rad io or ·
before a roomful of students."
However, she does provide intimate
sexual advice within the confrnes of
her olfJCC, Westheimer said. "When
someone, or a couple, is brought into
my office, I ask the most minute questions in order to get a clear picture of
what goes on in the bedroom to lr.now
if I can be of belp," she explained.
"Even though I'm 10 Buffalo, I know
exactly what couples A, B, and C are
doing tonight, because I told them
what to do."
Probably the most potent impediment Westbeimer battles 'during her
therapy sessions is tbe encyclopedia of
mores and taboos which stifle sexual
satisfaction. "All of us come from the
background of tbe Victorian motber
- lie in bed and think about England,"sheexplained. "You don' have
to think that waf about intercoune. •
Yet, it iuucb SOCial traditions coupled
with otber myths and "lessons" which

hinder a person's sexual awareness.
From the time a child is two years
old, Westheimer noted, be or she is
taugbt about all the external parts of
the body except the genitals - "as if
between the waist and knees nothing
exists." But, from birth,. she said,

children are physically capable of
attaining orgasms. "It is normal for
children (to feel pleasure from genital
stimulation) and we ought not imply

~ to them that

it's something bad,~ Wes~

theimer maintained. "Today, if a
young boy grabbed at his crotc'b, he
would be asked if he had to go to the
bathroom as if the penis were created
just for urination.'"'
As the child ages, he or she continues to encounter "'myths" which can
be inhibiting then; or even in later life.
Masturbation, a favorite Biblic'l)
bane, has bad an especially long career
as a taboo, for no logical reason, Westheimer said. During the past few centuries, legends have warned that those
who brealr. the taboo are in danger of
growing hair on their palms, losing
their eyesight, and going bald. Naturally, she continued, none of these projected outcomes have any scientific
validity.
'
For young girls. too. discovering
their sexual attributes was forbidden

by dire tales of the consequences to
those who disregard society's imposed.
mores. "In the 1700s, if a girl would
touch her vagina, she was told she
would contract tuberculosis, which at
that time had no cure," the celebrity
sex pert noted, adding that tieing .selfexploration and TB implied to young
women that self-stimulation leads
ultimately to death.
.
Perhaps the earliest "documented"
case of masturbation, the Biblical tale
of Onan, Westheimer said, was actu-

ally an early example of contraception. Onan, she noted, was practicing
withdrawal when he "spilled his seed. •
But the legend, the term, and most
importantly, the stigma remained.
it is contraception, more than any
I"Dr.other
sexual issue, boWCYCr, on which
Ruth"becomes most passionate.

"1 am trying to explode the myth of
pregnancy," she explained. "If I can
prevent one unwanted pregnancy,
then I have done my job." In 19114,
Westbeimer predicted, 1.5 11\illion
..,.unwanted pregnancies" will occurmany ....out of ignorance." Educators,
parents, and the media have failed to
teach teenagers tbe various methods of
contraception, Westheimer said, noting that pregnant young women have
come to her office baffied by their predicament. "One girl told me, they 'did
it standing up' so she wouldn' get
rregnant and another claimed she
douched with Coca-Cola, '"explained
Westbeimer, who asked the audience,
"why we can send a man to the moon
but still can' make a fool-proof
contraccptivC?"
Conlnli:eption should be practiced
by both partners, Westbeimer
stressed, and if the male attempts to
shirk his "duty," the woman should
"help out.
"I{ she wants, a girl can carry a condom," Westheimer said. "They now
come in any color to match her pocketbook. "Sexually active couples, who,

she said do not want a cbild must use
contraceptives, despite bow distasteful
it may be to one or both. "Anything is
better t.han an unwanted pregnancy,"
Westbeimer explained . "If I need to,
I'll teach the lover to put the diaphragm into tbe woman."
Westheimer stressed the need for
continuing abortion legislation. "I
believe abortion must remain legal; I
remember what it was like before 1970
(when abortion was first legalized)
when rich women went abroad to have
it done and poor women used coat
bangen," she said . ..,.However, abortion is just another contraceptive."
Despite her long academic and professiooal background in the study of
sex, Westheimer's personal views on
the subject are suited to her grandmotherly appearance.
Responding to an audience question, Westheimer said it is "definitely
possible" fora relationship to be based
primarily on ....casual sex;" however,
she qualified, most people want a
.... commitment and strive for a combination of companionship and good
sex.."

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

Cunningham argues for closer study of heroin•kidney link
By BRUCE S. KERSHNER

ec.ause of their addiction, heroin
abusers often damage their kidneys, eventually ending up with
irreversible renal failure requiting dialysis paid for by federal funds,
according to Eugene Cunningham,
M.D., assistant professor of medidne at
UB. This treatment is costing millions in
taxpayers' money each year, he indicates.
Dr. Cunningham stresses, however.
that denying medical treatment to these
heroin addicts cannot be the response.
Withholding of federal funds or requiring
the patient to enter a drug abuse treatment program to qualify for dialysis are
not solutions either, adds Dr. Cunningham. ~stopping the patient's drug
addiction problem won' help the kidney
disease, which is usually irreversible,"
Cunningham explained. "What is-needed
instead are studies that will help us
understand the renal disease associated
with heroin addiction." Agreeing wi.th t~e
old adaae "An ounce of prevenuon IS
worth a pound of cure," Cunningham
believes tbat federal funding for such studies could belp reduce the influx of
patleots into tbe fedetal dialysis program.

"Twenty three of the centers which
responded to the questionnaire identified
98 patients with suspected HAN," the
researchers re~orted. The centers reporting patients wuh HAN included 14 metropolitan areas of the northeast and the
Great Lakes, as well as Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Denver and St. Louis.
Of 98 cases of HAN reported, twothirds (66) had end-stage renal disease.
This was out of a total of 579 I 8- to
45-year-old patients with kidney failure.
The prevalence of these cases, approximately 10 per cent of the total, was similar to that found in the Buffalo areL
Dr. Cunningham and his associates
call the heroin-associated disease a ,

"The economic importance of HAN

Evac~ation may provoke, not defuse war
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
nuclear strategists, it presented an attractive scenario: days,
or even weeks, before Soviet and
U.S. leaders actually bad to pus&amp;
the buttons launching the swarms of warheads tbat would tum most cities in the two
natioos into heaps of radioactive ash,
major American cities would he evacuated
in an onlerfy IIUUlDer according to previously designed mass evacuation - or crisis relocation - plans.
In 1980, President Reagan approved a
seven-year, S4.2 billion program that
called for relocating up to two-Utirds of
tbe American public in case of imminent
threat of nuclear war. To he administered
by the Federal Emergency Management
Age•cy (FEMA), the plan called for
herdin&amp; masses of city dwellers into rural
"host areas," where they could presumably wait out the aMaek and, after the fallout abated , return home.
No doubt , when formulating this plan
which called for widespread public acceptance of the concept, federal planners had
in mind the exRCrience of the 1950's,
when the U. S . populace generall y
accepted the notion that precautionary
measures prescribed by their Civil
Defense planners could help them survive
a nuclear attack, and dutifully dug fallout
shelters in their bacl&lt;yards and stocked
their basementS with food.
But the 1980's are a different era, both
in public perception of the realities of
modem nuclear warfare and in acceptance of strategies that many sec as more
likely to exacerbate tensions. rather than
provide a means of survival.
The crisis relocation plans met with
mass derision. Time magaz.ine ridiculed
FEMA ·s plan to issue ..emergency
change-of-address cards" to the millions
of people who would be relocated. Syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman quoted
Tom Halstead of Physicians for Social
Responsibility as commenting that to
evacuate urban populations you must
have "I) days of warning, 2) receptive
host communities, 3) a docile and cooperative evacuation population, 4) nice
weather. and S) cooperative enemies ...
Goodman herself added, "This is why the
seemingly innocuous, ifsomewbat dippy,
plans of FEMA have become the focus
for such a furious and emotional argument. They have become the testing
ground between those people wbo believe
that nuclear war is survivable and those
who think it is •uicidal."
Now, two years since tbosc words were
written, it looks as though the people

Herskowitz countered that while his
critics say there is no use to plan for su r\i val in a nuelear war. there is nore.al way
of k.nowing whether uch an event is or is
not survivable and that doin~ away with
such plannina ·would dimmate some
possible direction for survival, insufficient as it i ...
He added, "The smaller the attack, the
greater the effect of pre paredness w uld

ichard Herskowitz, director of disasR
ter preparedness planning for New
York State., appearin1 last Wednesday in
the second of a series of lectures on
nuclear issues sponsored by the Western
New York · Chapter of Physicians for
Social Responsibility and the American
Medical Student Association, told an
audience of about 100 persons that
adverse public opinion caused the state's
own cris1&gt; relocation plan to he shelved in
the last year.
So definite was the change in-direction
from crisis relocation to general disaster
planning. th at even the massive state

By WENDY CONLIN

ermanent residents on Lisbon
Avenue are seeking to use communication as monar - to
repair cracks in the relationship
between off-&lt;:ampus UB students and
other Main Street area residents like
themselves.
.
An all-out campaign has been
launched by residents of the Lisbon block
which stretches from Parkridge Avenue
to Cordova Street to encourage students
to come to their Block Club meeting on
Thursday, March I. "We want to meet
and come to a better understand ing," said
Block Club President Jerry Paul. "We
like students, and figure they'd like a better undersLanding, too."
The Lisbon Block Club will serve as a
pilot study in a larger program organized
by Roo Dozier of the Buffalo Urban
League, Ruth Lampic.of the University
Heights Community Cent~r (UHCC),
and Iris Berman of the Umversuy OfTCampus Housing (OCH) office. If th is
meeting is successful in strengthening the
tenuous student/ resident relation, other
clubs which already exist throughout the
area will be urged to follow the same
route.
This particular club was selec~ed as the
initial target because of 1ts acuve community record and previously established
goal of working toward the enhancement
of tenant and resident c&lt;H:xistence.
"'There's even room for a student on their
executive board ~" pointed out Lampie,
although no student has yet shown
enough interest to fill it.
"These people like students, they see
them as an asset - but there are problems," added OCH Director Iris Berman.
And the problems are the typical ones
that have been simmering ever since UB
has been around. The University Heights
djstrict, where most off-campus students
live, is primarily comprised of older people in their early 60s. Add 10 that the
enthusiasm of college age residents and it
spells "generatio n gap." explained Paul.
Loud parties, parking problems, and
poor upkeep of homes are the major
complamts of residents.
The best way to bridge the gap is to
integrate the two factions, says UHCC
H,ousing Specialist Ruth Lampie. "The

Libraries will be hurt
EDITOR:
The past few issues of the Rt&gt;porl r r have
inclUded op t imistic reports about how
SUNY f Buffalo personnel and programs will

be affected by the 1984-SS Stale budget. and
we would like to respond to those repons with
a summary of what is r~ol~l' happening in the

University Libraries. Over the past M\'t'ral

yean. the University Libraries have lost 30%
of their staff. This year, contrary to reports
statina that no lines will be cut. the Libraries
have been slated for an additional reduction
of 11 .41ines. The far-reaching implications of
a further erosion of the staff are numerous and
serious; it is not realistic to believe that the
current level of services will be available in the
Libraries in the near future.
It is difficult to quantify the academic
impact of the lou of personnel because
initially it will be largely unnoticed except by
members of the faculty actively engaged in
research and current scholarship. We refer to
the unavoiclabk' dclerioration of the collections of the Libraries. Books do not miratu·

lously appear oo sllelva - tbcy are M:lcclcd
by librariaaa who are bibliopaphen (subject
spocialiau). Good eollccliona are the rault of

.., i~ ocquiaiti0111 budaet does not
automatically raulr ia a superior collectioo.

: B erman, however, is concerned about
i
the drop in morale of the permanent
~.- residents which could occur if this
happens. "I can see them shrugging their
E shoulders and just giving up - moving

j_ away.'"
perspective we are all taking is that communication is the answer. We want to
break down the barriers, make direct
contact and just sit down and talk."
In addition 10 talking, "the Li
n
Block Oub is reaching out," said Berman. The meeting will not only be a
forum for discussing differences, but will
also reaffirm a neighborhood CrimeWatch "Project, in which "residents will
offer to keep an eye on student apartments when school is in recess - like
during Spring Break."
Future meetings. which are held
monthly, will anemptlo include absentee
landlords. "It's really in the students'best
interest to join. A lot Of them may not like
the way things are in their buildings, arid
the absentee landlords don~ give them
much " asserted Paul. .. As an organization. ~e can do a lot more than just one
student acti ng on his own."'
In the past, the Lisbon Block Club has
attempted to garner student participa·
tio n, but it " hasn' really b!:en what you
could call successful." ad mined Paul.
Lampie expressed empathy for "the
busy schedules of students," but is hoping
that the extra effort aimed at students in
this cam paign will show positive results.
lingers and phone calls made in an
organized fashion are the primary
means of promoting the meeting.
Anticipating a large turn--au~. Lampie

S

especially a co llection of the cu libcr of the
.. major research insti tuti on .. we are aspiring to
become. WithOut an adequate number of
librarians who have sufficie nt time to keep
current in the\r !iip ecial subject art:as and judiciously select appropriate books, the collec·
tion of the University Libraries a nd its value
to scholars will quickly erode.
More visible evidence of the loss of personnel will cenainly occur ~ause fewer people
will be auempting to j uggle an increasi ng
number of responsibilhtes:
I. Interlibrary Loans will take longer.
2. New books that now reach the shelves in
days and weeks will take months to get there.
. 3. The number of scheduled computeri1ed
literatu~ searches wilt be cut. and ofT-line
searches will take longer to co mplete.
4. Most imponantlyforstudents, the quantity and quality of reference service will certainly d iminish. Fewer reference libl'jlia~
means less time to spend on in-depth reference
questions and little time for teaching about

the use or the library.

Alternative plans of action are ... to just
keep plugging," she said. "We want to
keep doing things, but this is the kind of
problem you approach one step at a
time.".
Targeting a block club on another
streeL is a possibility. But while the
·emphasis on ta.lk.ing is stressed, Berman
noted that any pr~gram that shows a
recognition of ..common concerns and
willingness to build a working relationship is great."
In particular, she pointed to a program
conducted last semester in which weatherization materials were made available
to students by QHC and the Student
Association (SA) working through the
UHCC. "h showed residents that students understood a real concern of theirs
- falling market value of the ir own

Solutions, such as the proposal made
by Councilwoman Rose LoTempio last
fall to enforce a city ordinance prohibiting three or more people from living·
together, a~ really no solution. maintai ned Berman . ..There is no one answer

on both sides," she said.
Other possible plans of action related
to this issue may be offered by Assemblyman Bill Hoyt's office upo!'

Black media, WBFO and UB officials discuss series of issues
cprcsc:ntatives of the Black
Media Coalition met with
administrators of WBFO,
Publi~ Affa irs , Academic
Affairs. and the Affirmative Action
Office on January 31 to discuss issues
raised by the coalition at a December
meeting with Dr. Malcolm Agostini, UB
affirmative adion officer.
Concerns expressed by the Coalition,
according to Director of Public Affairs
Harry R. Jackson. involved minority bir-

UB

ing. programming, and inlernships. ""We
... had a productiv-t discussion ... he said.
.._nd now we're waiting for them to 5Ubmil a paper for our consideration that
they would like to sec filed with our
application for liccn~ renewal with the
Federal Communications Commission ...
Representing the Coalition at the January J I meeting were Jobn E. Smith.
coordinator~ and Steve DandoiO$, who
was dismissed last October as a WB FO
vol unteer. At the earlier December meet-

co~puter

ing with Dr. Agostini, the Coalition had
incl uded Smith, James Pappas, chairman
and professor, African-American tudies
a t UB,and Dr. Molcfi K. Asantc, professor of comnlUnication herr.
Following the December mccting, a
response to conccms ••pressed by the
Coalition was prepared by WBFO General Manager Robert Sikorski and forwarded to S mith. ~This formed a basis
for our discu ion on January 21 ... uid
Jackso n. "Ba ically, ""agreed to inform

users are getting MUG-ged

By JOHN K. LAPIANA
he bits and bytes revolution is
sweeping academia. prompting
a legion of UB microcomputer
users to band together to bel!cr
understand and exploit tbc rapidl y
changing technology.
"Our idea is to get (microcomputer)
users together where they can share their
experiences ... explained Charles Francavilla, a University Computing Center
administrator and an organizer of MUG.
UB' new Microcomputer Users' Group.
Users groups. sm&amp;ll.prganizations of
computer owners 8nd interested bysta nders. have bccn sprouting in every
section oft he country so nee the f!J:St massproduced microcomputer (or penonal
computer) the Apple II, appeared on
store shelva seven years ago. Such
groups arc designed to facilitate discussion among owners. who us ually possess
the same specific brand (Apple, IBM .
Commodore, Texas In truments), act as
a forum to praa.ent new techniques or
programs, and / or allow people with a
common interest to socialize.
MUG. however, Francavi lla noted , is
open to any microcomputer usen.,
regardless of with which company their
loyahies lie, and is available to users of
both University-owned or privat&lt;lypurchascd machines. " People who usc
microcomputers run I he gamut .... he said.
~our aroup has people who build their
own. have bought oile, or usc the Universi ty's facilities. It includes faculty, staff,
and many students . ~ After three admittedly "poorly1 publicized" meeting ,
MUG, at last count is drawing
over
50 person a session; a ...standing room
only crowd," Francavilla noted.
~Much information needs to be d istributed and distributing it is pan of
MUG's purpose," he explained. "People
may have problems that others hne
already solved; (through users' groups)
we can tap that knowledJC. There is no
nccd to keep rc-inventin1 tbe wheel."
Upeoming41UG SCSliions will highlight new developments in tbe computer
industry. FrancaviUa noted . At the February meet ina. an area sale man demQnstrated tbe Kay Pro microcomputer, and
Francavilla aaid rcprcsentallvcs from
IBM. Apple, and Tandy willdisplaytbeir

the Computing enter can auii:t in the
purchase of d1scounted machines via referral and coord inat ing papef"ork,
Francavilla stresses that UB rcmaiO&gt;

projects would.
The Center was establi&amp;lle4 in 1977
under a bequest of Christopber Baldy, a
prominent Buffalo area lawyer and 1910
Law School graduate, ro promote the
studyoflaw with an interdisciplinary eye.
Governance of the Center refleclS its
interdisciplinary origins. An advisory
committee composed of representatives
from the Law School, the Social Sciences
faculty, the School of Management, and
the Erie County Bar Association, Katkin
explained, assist in establishing the Cenf ter's "programs and priorities."
Through the combined J . D./ Pio.D.
program the Center helps to sponsor,
Katkin said, "students have the opportunity to learn about things from two perspectives - law and the social sciences."
The Center's most popular dual degree
offering is the J .D. with a Ph.D. in Policy
Studies. It currently boasts over 20
matriculated students.
"It's an outstanding program and those
currently enroHed are very good students," she said, noting that few American schools ofTer comparable study
opportunities.

he range of Center-inspired projects
is wide, Katkin explained, and many
involve faculty and students working in
unison. A current on-going undertaking,
she said, entails "students and faculty
looking at housing code enforcemeqt
through interviews of housing inspectors .~ Other projects involving Policy
Studies students include an investigation
of how strictly drug laws are being
enforced by the Reagan administration,
an examination of school boards ·and
teachers unions and how they interact at
contract negotiations, and research into
respites -care centers for the elderly.

While most Center students are pursuing a Policy Stwdies doctorate to add to
the J . D .. Boyer noted that over a dozen
students are enrolled in the Social Sciences/ Law program, matching legal studies
with disciplines such as Philosophy.
Sociology. Economics, and History.
These program options. he said, "are
developed by the student" under guidelines maintained by the Center and the
particular Social Sdences department in
which the student is concurrently
enrolled.
"Combined degree students may apply
credit from the Law School toward the
Ph.D. and from the graduate department
toward the J . D .. " Kat kin said. "The typical joint degree program lasts from
between four to six years:•
In addition. she noted. many courses
are cross-listed between the Law School
and graduate departments and may help
meet a studont 's academic requirements
in both disciplines.
However, both Boyer and Katkin
admitted that it can be difficult to entice
students to remain on the dual degree
track throughout the program's lifetime.
Most students receive their J . D. at least a
year before the Ph.D. and the promise of
legal rich~ sometimes outweighs tbe
anticipated drud$"ry of the dissertation
year. By employtng both financial and
spiritual supports. Boyersaid,theCenter
helps to provide a countcr·incentive to
remain "with the books" rather than
move prematurely into the courtrQOm. _

investigating clam life off the shores of

"The object oL~he Baldy Center.~
explained Wendy Katkin, assistant direc·
tor, .. is to encourage interdisciplinary
research and training Lhat relates specifically to law, social policy, and the social

aims, she added, by assisting both faculty
and students to develop research proposals and then guiding them through the
difficulr and, at times, confusing grant
proposal maze.
"Grant writing is one of the Center's
most important-functions, .. noted Barry
B. Boyer, Baldy Center director. " We're
helping to support the research mission
of the University.~ The Center, he said,
has chalked up S800,000 worth of outside

Katkin added. And by awarding fellowships and as~istantships as well as assisting in the search for outside funding,
Boyer said a counteractive monetary

said , ... we look upon our work as an intellectual investment ....

a $6,000 tipend as well as a tuition

A
emphasis is its "Baldy Brown Bag"series,
wh1ch features speakers on a vaiiety of
topics in Law and the Social Sciences.
"The series gives faculty and students tbe
opportunity to present their research to
colleagues," Kat kin explained. AI rudy
this semester, she noted, a session was
devoted to "the broad problem offactory

from Sociolo!IY· Environmental P.lanning and Dcsogn. and the Law School
discussed the ramifications of an actual
factory shut down in a small Pennsylvania town. Other scheduled presentations.
she added, include Frank Palen, a former
UB Jaecklc Fellow, on the history of

fn each of six differen t categories (i n the
Genus edition, they are History, Arts and
Literature, Science and Natu re. S ports
and Leisure. Entenai nmcnt, and Geo-graphy), sign ifyi ng mastery of t hose part icular trivial areas. But " pie-slices" are
awarded for correctly answering a question on specially designaled spaces. and
each time a player rolls a number too high
or too low to reach that space, he or she
must answer a quest ion befo re a nempting again to win a .. pie-slioe.,..
Underthe rules. players may answer 10
or IS consecutive questions correctly,
but, due to po_or rolls, gain no ground

toward victory . ...The most frustrating

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

Adoption will bring
significant changes
for Medical School

Mrdi cal School

he U B School of
Medicine has adopted
its first faculty clinical
p~actice plan, the last medical
school in New York State and
one .of the last in the nation to
do so. The new plan will bring
significant changes to the
Medical School due to its
reallocation of funding for
medical programs and its
regulation over full-time
faculty incomes. The UB
Dental School adopted such
a plan 13 years ago.

T

Mandated by law and medical
accreditation committees. the practio:
plan will establish a ceiling for UB full·
time faculty incomes that a~ deri\'ed
from clinical practices associated with
thtir academic functions at the ~hool or
its affiliated hospitals. The formula
option just chosen by the faculty . the
2.50% option. now sets a ceiling for their
income, not including ccnain supplement·
ary sources. "Faculty and physicoans who
an: not ho pital-bascd and in private
practice will not be affected by the new
plan. This also applies to income not
owocialcd with clinical practice," said
Dr. Joha Naupton, dean or the Medical
School.
The: "250% option" works like this:
A full time faculty member may not
cam a clinical practice income in c:.xceu
or 250% or tbe established muimum
State basie onnual ulary for academic
rant~ Since. maximum Stale sal.aries
romp: from 570,000to SSQ.OOO a year, the
plan allows some members to &lt;arn a total
or up to 5178.000 a ytar in combined
faculty and patient derived income. A s
explained previously. this docs not
include other non-clinical practice
income from fringe be~fot • royalties
and the like. Averap: tate salaries
actually hover around $40,000 annually.
The: faculty may elect to chanp: the
formula to the second availabk option
one yur lattr. This "i.,.,.,ntive plan"docs
not ompose a foxed ceiling on oncome. h
permits a fllCllltf member to earn a
clinical
oncome or more than
200% o the · muimum State basic
annual salary as lona as an)' income over

school.
The: plan was wholly mandated by
Statt tcpstaaion in 1974 and is requ~red

n expressed concern frOm voluntary
facult y is that a faculty practice plan
may stimulate competitio n between the
full-time and vo luntary fac ulty members.
Dr. Naughton feels that th e implication
of such a threat is unfo rtunate because
most full-time fac ulty are e ngaged in
practice and have not d one any da mage
to the voluntary ph ys ician co mmunity. In
fact, the plan will serve to moderate the
amount of practice t he full ti me fac ult y
can engage in, t hus red ucing the threat to

in Albany told the New York Times.
"to ensure that faculty members devote

A second aim of the legislation was to
prevent physicians from using State
nurses, equipment and office suites in
State faci lities for t heir private clinical
practice. without reimbursing the State.
..This agreement will guarantee full

Norman Haffner said in a Times

chancellor for research , graduate studies
and professional programs.
The agreement requires those full-time

private practice to do so in medical
facilities maintained by the University or

T

its associated teaching hosPitals.
Dr. Naughton sees the plan as bringing
a .. new order~to the medical school while
benefiting the quality or its teaching and
research programs, its faculty and its
financial status ... We will now be like the
other 126 medical schools in the nation,"
he emphasized. also pointing out that the
school depend s on lhe plan since it is now
reqLJired for accreditation.
One of the plan's primary benefits to
the medical school is that, according to
SU Y Vice Chancellor Haffner. the plan
will provide sufficient financial incentives
to allow the State-supported medical
schools to co.,rnpete against wealt hier
pri vate school! for the best medical
academicians. Pan of this financial
incentive is due to the disbursement of the
clinical practice inco me in which the
School of Medici ne receives 5 per cent.
This "Dean's Fu nd" will bt used to/
expand and improve programs most in
need . ot only does this include research
a nd education programs but illso the
hiring of new quali ty faculty members.
Because it is a discretionary fund. the
dea n can use it as an incentive, and award
amounts to selected faculty membe rs.
Simi larly, the .. overage," or amount
generated above the contractual ceili ng.
can be used to .. nourish undernourished ..
depanments or programs... Because we
can now utilize a new added resource, "

Levy awarded multi•million dollar grant to fmance center

the C linical Pharm aco kin etics
and Biopharmaceutics Research
Center here fo r the next fi ve years has
been a warded t o Ge rh a rd Levy,
Pharm.O ., distinguished professor of
pharmaceutics in the School of Phar·
macy, by the National lnstiwte of General Medical Sciences of th e National
Institutes of Health (N IH).
T his isthe second time NIH has funded
the center. In 1979, NIH awarded Levy
two million doll ars to establish it.
.. When you start a ce nter, you go in
part on record and in pa n on promise, ..
Levy said. " But when you have been
around for five years, you go entirely on
record." UB's ce nter used to be o ne of
about 12 ofits kind in the i.J nited States.
It is now one of two or three.
The general objectives of the ce nter a re
to carry out coordinated fundamental
and clinical studies not only on drug
absorption, distribution, metabol ism and
excretion, but also on the relationship
between these processes and the intensity
and time course of pharmacologic effects
in bealth and disease.
There will be four specific projects
conducted at the center. Levy, director,
will study drug concentration-pharmacologic IIClivity relationships in disease.
Ho-Lcung Fung, Ph.D., professor and

chairman of the Department of harma·
ceut ics, will research the pharma okinetics a nd bioche mistry of an ti-angina
age nts.
Will iam J usko, Ph.D., pharmaceutics
professo r, and Geo rge Corcoran Ill.
P h.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutics. will exami ne drug disposition, toxicity and interactions in obesity.
David Lalka, Ph .D. , associate professor of pharmaceu tics, will investigate the
effect of food on drug d isposition .
The co mmo n t heme of these fo ur projects is the ex plo ration or the effects of
d isease on the d isposition a nd pharm aco·
logic activity o f medicinal agents. T he
goa l will be to lea rn how the patho physiologic perturbat io ns commonly ex per·
ienced by patients affect the way their_
bodies handle 3nd res pond to medici nes
used to treat them.
The cente r's research is conductc6 both
on campus and with clinical cotlabora·
tion at various hospitals in Buffalo and
elsewhere in the U.S.
Levy, 56, an internationally-known
pioneer or biopharmaceutics and pharmaco kinet ics, has been a U B faculty
member for 25 years. He is the author of
more than 450 journal articles.
During his career, he has received
Dr. Gerluu-d Levy

numerous awards. In 1982, he was given
not only the Volwiler Research Achieve·
ment Award by the All]erican Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, but a lso
the Oscar B. Hunter Memorial Award in

Gerha rd Levy said he needed to voice his
concern that unless UB maintains the
financi al support of the Dcpanment of
Pha rm aceutics in the School of Pharmacy, it will se riously decline in ~uality.
" I ha~e spent my professionalltfetime
helping to develop th is department," said
Levy. " It would be ir responsible for me
not to say that we are now in a position
that is damaging us and that this will
become evident in the next two or three
years."
Levy is troubled by the two vacant lines
in his department, which used to have
eight faculty.
"We should have tbe credibility to be
listened to when we point out the adverse
consequences of not replacing faculty
who have left," he said. "We have done as
much as possible to help ourselves."
Levy, a distinguished professor and
internationally known pioneer of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics,
has been at UB for tbe past 25 yean. He
has authored more than 450 journal a rticles and pulled in hundreds of thousands
of dollan in outside researcb monies. He

UB Foundation reports a record income
t's another record. Total income for
the UB Foundation Inc. reached
$7,380,8 19 in 1983, Foundation
President John M. Caner announced this week.
This was the ninth consecutive year the
Foundation basset a new record , and the
gain of S 1,480,397 over the 1982 total of
$5,900,422 marks the largest single
annual increase in the history of tbe u 8
fund-raising organization. Helping swell
the totals were two major gifts - Sl million from the Delaware Nonh Companies and Sl.l million from Mr. William C
Baird for a new research park venture.
In the wake of this most sucx:essful
year. Caner indicated the Foundation
board later this month will take up the
issue of whether or not to embark on a
major capital campaign which would be
UB's first such effon as a public
institution.
New records we reset m alllourcitegories of U BF income in 19g3 - in endowment, restricted use funds. unrestricted
gifts and investment revenue.
Total endowment income for the year
Sl .~ , l40 - exeeeded the previous
ye 's record level by $507.693 or 67 per
cent, Caner reponed. Total restricted
income - $4,988,043 - was another
historical record and topped the 1982
total by S89g,610 or 22 per cent. Unrestricted suppon increased 13 percent from
$341 ,213 in 1982 to $384.595 in 1983 . .
Caner characterized tbese unrestricted
funds as "vital" to the University "si nce
they represent the majority of nexiblc
doi)J.rs available for new and innovative
programs." Unfonunately, however. he
said, he does not expect major increases
in this type of giving tpcontinue. at ionally, he indica1cd, the trend in private
support or public higher education continues to be directed toward restricted
contributio ns. However, he pledged that
the Foundation, .. in keeping with the
priorities of the University. will con tinue
to solicit unrestricted su pport and to seck
new and innovative methods of providing this vital financial assistance ...
The UBF President listed these highlights of the Foundation's year:

and Carmichael Chairs, Caner said, will
"dramatically enhance the ed.l!cational
offerings of the School of Management
and will allow the School to bring
nationally recognized leaders into its
excellent program of te.a ching. research
and community service:"
e Baird A~ Center. The Baird
Foundation's pledge of S 1.1 million
toward construction of an independent
research facility adjacent to the Amherst
Campus will spur University effons in
high-tech development. According to
Carter, the preliminary site analysis indicat.e s the potential for a 200,000-squarcfoot, three-story facility which, when
finally . fully develope:&lt;~. would cost
approxnnately S20 mtlhon.
The firm of Hammer, Siler, George
Associates was retained to conduct a feasibility study on long range planning for
the facilit y and related fi nancial considerations. The sile is a-t t cornerofSweel

friends.
To date, the U BF PPCsident said. the
program is on target in generating new
donors and ca pital· assets. ··we believe
that the strategies and uchniquc!l.
involved in this lmaginativc program will
eventually become s1andard in university
development across the country."

Study. As pan of ts long range plan, the
Foundation retained the firm of Ket ch um, Inc., of Pitt burgh to assist in
determining the feasibility of conducting

a major capital fund raising campaign in
future years, Caner reponed. Ket chum,
Inc. is one of the largest and most experienced firms in the fieJd of professional
fund raising and for 63 years has helped
thousands of institutions determine their
fund raising potentials.
The study was co mpleted in early
December and will be presented to the
Foundation Trustees on February 14. he
indicated.

·'Pieta' brings back
memories of war ·
"In Romen mythology, lhe personlllcetlon olthe ...,.. ol duty towards GOd end

-Encyclopedia Britannica, 1957

.
M

ichelangelo's " Pieta" stands
befo re me in St. Peter's
Cathedral in Rome. The
ageless masterp iece excites
admiration for the magnifice nc'e of an istic achievement an d wonder fo r the
human spirit exposed by man's boundless
creative ability.
This awesome sculpture follows the
traditional presentation of the Pieta, the
dead Christ laying on the knees of the
mourning Mary. The lifeless nude body
of Jesus is limp, but even in death, it
appears strong and heroic. His mother's
body is larger than his; this suggests a
realistic treatment ofthe pieta theme. The
sculpture evokes a mood of solemnity,
not se-Q_timentality, and there is stren.gth
in this gdef. My own mood reflects th•s: I
have a smi~ instead of tears, a result of an
adoration f"'O{ perfection.
Then othe~ thoughts and images sta~t
to invade my mind . I think of how th1s
eternalized moment, the moment of
Christ's death, affected the human race,
how it shaped our civilization, because
the idea of this moment is Selfless Love
where the innocent life sacrifices itself for
the sake of all mankind.
Yet how co uld it happen that our
whole planet is covered by people killed
in violent a"s of humans agamst
humans? When and why are the ways of
love and forgiveness, the teachings of
Christianity and other religion s. as well,
often ignored and replaced with the ways
ofselfishoess and hatred? In the hands of
evil men these become the tools for
demagogy, hypocrisy, and deceit of the
honest populus. How can we save oursc.\ves1 Tbw aae-o\d question bothers me
no less than it did millions of people
before me.
Pain engulfs me ~ h en th e images of
two other Pietas emerge. They do not
raise admiration - th ey create deep
despair.
I see the Pieta on th e Mamaev Hill at
Stalingrad's ( Volgogra d ) Na t ional
Memorial to the fallen in the Stalingrad
battle of 1942-43. Extremely impressive,
this memorial complex, by its artistic and
psychological qualities, belongs to the
most memorable and powerful. High in
the middle of the hill is a huge bulk of
marble: a mother holdin,1! on her knees
the dead body of a sold1er. She bends
over him, covering his face with a scarf.
Standing there I cry aloud, because the
grief and the frustration are so strong that
I am not able to bold back my emotions. I
have questions. For what purpose were
over half a million human lives destroyed
here? Those who died were the fioest
yo una people of two nations, but unfortunately were merely sheep led by evil
men. Have we leerned a lesson from this
tragedy? Do we know bow to recognize
evil or the evil-minded and how to isolate
them from our society instead of electing
them president, chairman, congressman,
aovemor. etc.?

human and with what our purpose
should be here on earth. We ha ve supported , and are still supporting as our
powerful leaders, evil men wbo are da ngerous fanatics , and who, instead of
resolving peacefully human connicts, use

At age 20, the boys are still playing
with their father's band , aptly named
"Reflections," and although weekdays
are crammed with classes and lessons at
UB. the weekends are for performing.
Every ':riday the triplets go home to
Spnngvdlc, pack up the van with their
instruments, their father, 2S-ycar-old
brother Ron , and three other band
members, and return to Buffalo - to
work. .
The group performs a variety of musical types with a brassy narc. but it's the
triplets themselves, Dennis, Dave and
Duaac,tbat have given the band its extra
sometbiq. Their unique gimmick is the
appeal of look-alikes. "It definitely
attracts peol'lc," IIJUnitted Duane. "They
all say it's dtffcrent."

audiences rarely see the rest of the band .
They look - then look apin, and they
remember "those cute, cuddly triplets,"
the boys say. "It sells," joked Dave.
The three don' mind at all being perceived as ..the triplets" - as long as it
creates that interest in their music . ... We11
stay together musically as far as it takes
us." Dave speculated. "We like playing
together - there's not any competition
between us about that.'"

day in identical clothes. "No one thought
it was weird in high school - triplets
were supposed to dress alike."
Uni\'ersity students apparently had different ideas because the Sullivan's dress
cnde changed drastically after the first
day here. "People were looking at us kind
of funny," recalled Duane. Now in their
th ird year of college, the three wear the
same outfits only when they're performing with "Reflections." "And then the
whole band is dressed alik&lt; - not just
us," noted Dennis with a smik.
Wanting to be together was the main
factor in the ir selecting UB. When all
thrtt were accepted here. they j umped on
the chance to remain a trio. "'We wanted
to be together - to keep the band
together, too," explained Duane, adding
that brother Ron's graduation from the
Music Dcpartm&lt;nt at Buffalo did have
something to do with the decision.

you get sick of it," Dave said. "Youn in
the same classes, you do the same things
- and you go home and we're still all
there - you can't get away from it .
.. Lots of times when we're in the same
class," he continued , "wc11 all get the
same grade - when maybe one of us
should have gotten higher."
But that~ about it in the complaint
department. And the minor aggravations
have never led them to seek escape from

ffstagc it's only a sbadc diff.;..nt. As
when performing, they generate a lot
of interest on campus with their "'triplet
gimmick." Making friends is almost no
problem, pointed out Dennis. "People
were more interested in us when we came
to UB than we were in them. We do seem
to set a lot of attention."
That attention is increaacd by the faa
that they are triplets through and
through. They share classes, share
rehearsals for the Bi&amp; Band Jazz Enocmblc. share friends, share the same major
- Music Education, and sbare an offcampus apartment in Williamsville. " Just
about everything but airl friends," quipo
Duane. And for the moll part they 1hare

arcbivct of that not-too-hard-to-identify
seat of learning, they analyz.ed these
commendations both quantitatively and
qualitatively toiso\~ thequa\iti.es of job

emphasized in such letters, they argue,

Reflecting lhose values, teaching was
strongly emphasized in 28 percent of the

Research was strongly emphasized in 52

27 per cent. And institutional service was
emphasized in 56 percent and went
unmentioned in only /8 per cent. In only
one-third of cases did teaching or
research or a combination of the two
weigh most heavily. For tbc other twothirds, servioe figured more heavily or
just as prominently. And where service
was mentioned it was discussed much
more specifically than the other areas.
Moreover, point out Lewis and Doyno,

omparing merit award&gt;recipients by
discipline, Lewis and Doyno found
that scientists and social scientists differed greatly in salary increase c.xpectations. Letters in behalf of scientists were
more lik..ely not to spcclfy a set amount
while those for soclal scientists mentioned not only a figure, but a relatively
modest o ne. Jt!s no surprise. then, that
only 3.5 per cent of social scientists
received $751 or more, compared to 27.4
per cent of the scientists. The average
social scientist's merit inc rease was $100
below the mean, while the size of a scient·
ist's increase was $66 above.
Social scientists in their recommend ations paid more allention to non·
academi~ contributions to campus life,
citing these types of activities 94 per cent
ofthe time; the recommendations in this
category were comparatively vague
aboutteaching, Lewis and Doyno found .
Fifty-six per cent of scientists• letters
commented on the receipt of research
grants (compared , for example, to only
five per cent of those from arts and letters). Leuers from scientists were also more
direct than those written by representatives oft he other disciplines; the scientists

management tasks outside the department. These upper level administrators
were most concerned with ... hard work,"
less worried about "equity." Selfnominees were most likely to provide
some evidence of their scientific or scholarly pursuits.
Although deans asked for more mod·

more likely to end up receiving a lesser
amount than recommended.

ooking at differences among ranks,
Lewis and Doyno found that full
professors on average received increases
S35 above the mean. About twice the
proponion of full professors compared
to those in other ranks actually received
more than a $751 increase.

Faculty whose evaluauons emphasized research were treated almoSI as well
as those cited for administrative effon .
Researchers were more likely 10 be in line
for medium or large increases than were
non-researchers. Interestingl y, noted
Lewis and Doyno, research qua1it)' &gt;A'as
noted in only 29 per.ce.nt of such cvaluations while research quDntil~' was mentioned in 57 per cent. Thus, the.y submit,
"the dark criticism of academic life th at
what one publishes is less important than
how much one publishes is given suppan." However, the siz.e of the merit
salary increase for the 120 cases cited for
research quality was $43 above the mean.
while for the 237 cases cited for research
quantity it was only S26 above. "Qualit_y
is still beller rewarded, but quantny "
mere widely recognized."
Comments about teaching, on the
other hand, had little impact on th~ size
of a merit raise. With few exceptaons.
what was said or not said about teach ing
was mostly irrelevant to the size of the
award. Those cases in which teaching was
emphasized had a slightly greater chance
of recei\'ing the smallest awards, and the
size of a merit salary increase for an individual cited for teaching was more than
S40 below the mean.

Coast
Guard
Hardt upgrading program
to assist in tracking
of merchant vessels
he U.S. Coast Guard has turned
to a UB computer scientist to
improve its international searchand-rescue message system - a
lifeline for thousands of seafarers .
. Shoshana L. Hardt, Ph.D .. assistant
professor in the Department of Computer Science, has received a one-year
S67,000 public service grant to upgrade
the present message system. She proposes
~ achieve this by developing an "artifidil intelligence"program, aided by three
·
gradu.ate st~nts.
AMV ER, an acronym for Automated
Mutaal~ssistance Vessel Resc ue system.
is operated by the Coast Guard as a
volunteer service for 22.000 American
and foreign merchant \'tsse ls.
Information, in the form of radio messages from the thousands of merchant
vessels saiHn&amp; the oceans at any given
time, isassembledat AMVER headquarters on Governor's Island in New York
Harbor for rescue guidance should the
need arise~ But that"s where the problem
is.
The "human intelligence" applied in
sending the messages sometimes causes
misinterpretation. Even though each participat ing vessel is given specific instructions on how to send messages, mistakes
are made - and these often go undetected until a manual check can be made.
a time-consuming chore.

T

ardt will attempt to develop a c.o mputer program that will enable the
Coast Guard's computer system to
"think" like a buman bein&amp; in handling
the multitude of messages received eacb
day - but much faster and with a wary .
eye for errors.
The graduate students. under Hardt's
tutelage, already have begun the project.
They are Miehael Haefner of Webster,
N.Y., Jay Rosenberg of Monticello,
N.Y., and Kulbir Arora from India.
While Haefner, Rosenberg and their
instructor work on the project itself.
Arora contributes by writina the numerous reports necessary to record the progress beina made.
Currently, Hardt and the three lludenu are devising tbe "artificial intdli-ence" computer pro,ram by utilizing
Information from a VIdeotape supplied
by the Coast Guard. lbe tape contains
actual meuaaes received by AMVER
over a ooe-wec:k period.
In February, members ofthe UB team
plan to visit AMVER headquarters for

H

an on-line demon stra t ion of th eir
accomplishments. The dcadlin( for completion oft he program is October I, 19114.
In esse nce, the Coast Guard at{Fmpts
to kee p track of all merchant vessels from
the time they leave port until they arrive
at their destinations. Messages ~ent by
each - usually once a day and more
often if necessary - arc picked up by
specially designated radio tat ions in various pans of the world and arc relayed to
the AMV ER Center for computer
processing.
There are four basic types of messages
in the search-and-rescue system : the
departure report; the posiuon report,
which incl udes degrees of latitude and
lonsitude; the deviat ion report. which
would indicate any changes in previously
reponed sailing plans, posi tion, speed or
dest ination; and the arrival report.
Haefner pointed out in an inlc.rvie"
that even such routine items as a ship"
name or rad io call )(ttcrs can cause
problems.
"Sometimes," he noted. "the na'-'e is
abbreviated in 1uch a way that it could be
interpreted incorrectly."
He also related that incorrect spellin4,
typo"aphieal errors and laek of pertl·
·ncnt utformation tend to make messaaes
ambiguous.

Draft information and training sessions slated
By WEND)' CONLIN

" w e want to provide in(or-

mation on the military
that people don't ge t from
their recruiting officers or
the government; .. explained Anne Meisenzabl, a peace ed ucator at the Western
New York Peace Center.
A military counseling and training
weekend scheduled at U B this Saturday
and Sunday is aimed at doing just that .
The program, co-sponsored by the Peace
Center and the University's Draft Education Center, will deal wit h draft registration, pre~nlistment , and the legal aspects
.of both.
"It's really for two diffe rent types of
people." said Meisenzahl - "those who
are curious about what exactly these
t hings mean to them, to their lives ·and
their futures; and those interested in
woi'lting wilh young '(&gt;eople concerned
about hese issues."
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. a session concentrating on draft registration

and the Selective Service will be offered.
.. Points about the way Selective Service
works and the So lomon Am endments I
and II [which deny access to school loans
and j ob train ing programs for those not
regi stered) will be included , "she ass ured.
Pre-enlistment information is slated
for Sunday between 12 and 2 p.m. The
rights of those enlisted, alternatives to the
military, and other areas will be covered.
At 4 p.m. that evening, a legal advocacy meeting led by area lawyers, law
stud ents and professors is scheduled.
"That wi ll ex plain so me of the legal
aspects of regist rati on and rights in military life, as well as clarifying legal outs
for those enlisted a nd unhappy."
The counseling a nd training sessions
will be co nducted by Bill Galvin of the

Scime tracks down federal sex discrimination evidence
By MILT CARLIN
-uried deeply in the pages of
American history is a sad tale of
federal discrimination against
working women whether
intentional or otherwise.
With this in mind , a UB doctoral student has embarked on a research project
to put into proper focus the impact of
Section 213 of the 1932 federal Economy
Act, legislation designed ostensibly to
allevia te the economic woes of the "Grea t
Depression .. but in practice used to root
married women out of the federal work
force in order to make jobs for men more
secure.
Joy Scime, a Ph.D . candidate in
women's history and U.S. social history;
has been awarded a $1,500 grant by the
Business and Professional Women's
Foundation to conduct the research for
her doctoral dissertation. It is one of only
six such aranu awarded nationally in1983 by the foundation for research into
the impact of public policy on women's
"double day" - their work and family
li-.
Section 213, Scime explained, was
adopted for the purpose oftrimmina the
federal payroll, with "marital status" as
the sole factor in determining where job
cull 'Should be made. The law decreed
that a "married penon"would be the ftrst
to be discharaed by the government and
the last to be hired if that person's spouse
also was a federal employee.
Even though the law avoided any reference to .. male" or "female"in determining whether a husband or wife should be
dismissed, Sci me related in an interview,·
Section 213 proved to be"one oft he most
discriminatory laws toward married
working women ever passed by the federal sovemment."
·
By the spring of 1936, she pointed out,
a total of 1,835 persons had lost their jobs
due to Section 213 cutbacks and "75 per
cent of those dismissed were marned
women." ..Countless other women," she
added, "were denied original appointment...
-.
SeC! ion 213, ineffecs forftve yean, was
supencded in 1937 by Civil Service leplation which made job discrimination on
the baais of marital status illepl.

Sllc quote&amp; the cbairmall of the Senate
SallcoiD~ on Appropriati0111, John

McDuffte, as hlving said during debate:
" In a time like this, when there are
many men without employme{lt. and
many men eligible for government
employment, it seems but fair, in the
eve nt dismissals must come. they should
be _made incases where two dT more oft he
same family are on the government payroll. Thus, an opportunity is given to the
man with dependents wh o is on the payroll to retain his job ...
Scime observed : " By im plyi ng that
married women are their husbands'
dependents, his comments suggest that
women were to be singled out for
dismissal. "
Sen. Sam Bratton, a 213 proponent, is
quoted: " I think the unemployment situa- ·
tion is sucb that the government sho uld
adopt the policy of giving a famil y only
one paycheck instead of two . . . . I forecast within the next 10 years government
and industry alike will adopt that policy.
The situation will compel it. We may not
have enough employment to go aro'und ."
Eliminating the employment or marfled wome~ Sci me contended l~as seen
by some legislaton as the key to the
future health of the economy."
Thus, Section 213 was adopted on
June 30, 1932.
At face value, Sci me suggested, it was
thrust upon the public as a "auarantee"
that jobs would be fairly distributed
amona "families in need ." In reality, she
added, '~ he result was a auaranteed job
loss for one aroup of Americans women."
What about women's aroups? Did they
battle against passage of Section 213?
.. Lobbying was intensive." Sci me
related, "but, for the most part, they
didn't work against it collectively."
s Scime sees it, the women's movement in the 1930s was still affected
by the issue that had divided it in the
1920s - · namely the Equal Riahts
Amendment (ERA).
This is her analysis:
The pro-ERA faction, led by the
National Women's Party and the
Government Worken' Council, araued
that Section 213struc:k at the very hean
of women'I economic r!Jhts - the right
to work. This faction believed 2131imited
a woman's freedom because abe was
foreed to choose her economic status
either by a atay...t-bome 111&amp;11iaF relatioubip or by worltina as a linale

A

WODall.

The more JIOwerful anti-ERA faction,

led by the Leque of Women Voten,
arped apilllt Section 213 on the
arounda thai it completely clenied a married woman'I need (or employmMt, sayina women worked for the same reatoD as
men - ecoDOmic neceaaity.
"The poaition oftbe anu-ERA faction
that woqaen worked only out of family

need . " Sci me observed , .. remained true to
their belief that woman's primary role
was in th e home, as a wife and mother.
They were not challenging the man·s status as chief breadwinner - th e very core
of2 13 a nd what made ii an anti-women's
rights issue . ~
These a nti-ERA women, Scime continued , "said that the family needed a
woma n's income because one wage
wasn't enough. The implication was,
once a man's wage was enough, she

would return to the home."
Following the law's demise in 1937,
Sci me fun her related, many city and state
governments, as well as pnvate industry.
embraced similar policies.
Even though World War II brouaht
women back into the marketplace, she
added, "the back-to- the-home issue
returned to haunt the women's movement in 1945."
ncr the 19321aw was adopted, Sci me
related, "some senators expressed
the belief that any injustices m•aht be
worked out in the administration of the
law." This, she added, "proved to be
untrue."
Historical accounts s how . Scime
pointed out, that the U.S. Civil Service
Commission was hard-pressed to administer the law, baaed on marital status, in
tbe liaht of iu own traditional employment rules, baaed on merit and seniority.
Becauae of the peculiar nature or the
law, abe noted, the Civil Service Commission wu forced to coacem iuelf with the
penonal u- of federal em~yeea.
lu Sc:ime put it, the comllltllion had to
"determine if coupleS separated simply to
evade 213, • and found itself hard-pressed
in "tryina to keep track or who had mar-

A

ried whom."
During the first six months the law was
in effect, she added, the commission
.. rendered more than 300 decisions" as
families so ught to sides)ep the law in a
mate of broken homes and secret mar~
riages to achieve economic security.
ased on this historical setting of the
1930s, Scime plans to carry out the
mandate of her research fellowship from
the Business and Professional Women's
Foundation.
.. Her st udy... said the founda tion.
"should help us understand the ways economic hard times may be shaping present
government policies that scapegoat
women for the state of the economy."
The Lena Lake Forrest Fellowship
also will suppon Scime's planned analysis of how women's groups protested
government employment policies during
the "Great Depression" and "what effects
these protests had."
In her arant proposal, Scime observed:
.. What we need to know is how politics
and economics interac;ted during these
yean. A studyofSeCI.i on 213 ... offers us
a vehicle through which we can understand the relationship between economic
conditions, political decisions and personal options in the history of women_
• A study of Section 213 as aovemment
policy," Scime sugested, "may give us
areater insight into other laws of the
Depression that affected women in the
labor force.
"This, in turn, can give us an historical
undentandina of the roots of economic
a nd political conditions for working
women today."
The attitude that spawned Section 213,
viewina males as "socially beneflrial"aJid
females as "questionable," still exists.
Scime insisted. She also noted , as in the
case of Section 213, that "attitudes
become legislation."
She cited a recent press conference at
which President Ronald Reapn was
quoted as sugesting that the unemployment rate looks wone than it is becau'se
of a pat increase in the number of persons enterina the labor market , especially
women.
Althouah the President was quoted as
saying. "Ladies, I'm not pick.ina on
anyone," Scime viewed the remark as a
way of sayina that pan of the !lDCmployment problem is caused by women taking
. men's jobs.
The dfecs or such thinking. she continued, is especially peninent in today'l
society in viewoftbefaa that $(~percent
of married women are work.inc. albeit in
low-payi,. jobi for tile moat pan.
AI an underandll&amp;le. Scime attended

School of GoVCI'Ilment and Public
Administration in Wuhinaton, D.C. She

Reichert and Snell warn of weather effects

surface and avoiding looking at light nashes so intense as to explode the

defense authorities have planned against for the past 39 years, but
something physicists stumbled upon only last year - the nuclear

UB professo r of physics and .astrono my.
the effects of the nuclear winter will be
realized. Temperatures could dip as
much as 80 degrees in th e afterma th of a
.. small war" in which onl y one-third of
the superpowers' nuclear arsenals were
launched . Rcichen said last week at th e
first session of a four-part campus
sy mposium o n nucle a r aw are ness
sponso red by the Buffal o chap ter of th e
Physicians for Social Responsibili ty.
.. The tempe rature will stay down fo r at
least a few weeks.'' Reichert said . ..That
will be 3 crucial time for human survival. ..
Reic hert fo resees additional problems if
the wa r occu rs during the summer, since
the only clothes victims wo uld have
access to would be the ligh t garments
worn ~hen the bombs e&lt; ploded . In
addition. he noted. little, if any. fuel o r
electricity would be ave\ilable for heating
the shelters victims take refuge in. A
substantial percentage of the survivors ·
would not only d ie from rad iation 's long
range effects but could also succumb to
the cold . Reichert predicted . adding that
the nuclear winter would be more severe
if the war were larger than hi s .. limited ..;
theoret ical example.
.. In a big war. the nuclear winter could
last months.... he said. ..The summer
temperatures would go down as low as 50
or 60 degrees below zero." According to
recent research, Reichert added, few, if
any. locations exist where the nuclear
winter's deadly effects could be escaped.
While some might travel up into Cana ~
da"s Great White North or down into
Australia's aboriginal deserts as pan of
personal evacuation schemes, Reichert
doubts they could skirt the winter's
effects . .. It has always been taken for
granted that the northern hemisphere will
be pretty much obliterate(( in a nuclear
war, but now things look almost as bad
for the southern hemis phere.'" he
explained. " Due to the wind currents, the
aftereffect~ of nuclear war would be more
seven: in tbe Southern hemisphere than
pn:vioU5Iy believed."

sta nt d ays o f unbearably high temperatures resulting from the absence of the

would be a casualty of the bombs' radiation. With o ut the ozone filtering the sun's

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

One. of the more worrisome shortfalls
in the Governor's budget proposal is the
absence of a requested 3S new positions
to operate large new facilities which will
come on line here during the coming year
(these include Phase U of Alumni Arena,

the Student Activities building. and the
Management building). Although the
unallocated SUNY-wide pool of 90
positions is thought to be primarily for
Instructional purposes, the budget

document suggests that non-instructional support positions may be funded

from the pool.
The capital budget request disappointingly contains major funding only for
equipping the social science and physical
education buildings here. Appropria-

tions for necessary repain are also
included.

The new tuition level for resident

"These increaoes add up to a

Chancellor continued, "that the $200

T h e Governor's proposed
Budget for 1984-SS augurs a

Wharton said after the unveiling of
Gov. Cuomo's fiScal plan this week.

Wharton was leSs enthusiastic about,
but apparently reoigned to, the tuition
and dorm rate hikes called for by the

Governor.
•Proposals to test new means for the
University to malll!ge tbe aU~tion of its

own resources and to eocourage long·
plaooing can open up a new era of

ra~e

llex1bility that will permit SUNY to use
its limited dollars more advantageously
and to respond more rapidly to the
educational needs of the state," the
Chancellor said.
He continued:
"We appreciate the Governor's
reopoooiveness to our long-beld concerns
for greater management control. The
propoled measures represent an exciting
cballeoge, and we are coofulent they will
work to the best interest~ of our ltudents
and the taxpayers.
At the same time, though, Wharton
pointed out, "the proposed budget

apprebeooive that the elimination of

to the very goa.IJ they have been helping

to achieve."
Other aspects of the Governor'S
bwfget, noted Wharton, "are complex
and will require extensive analysis before
we are certain of their full potential
impact. We are encouraged, however, by
many positive aspects of the proposals.
"We are particularly pleased by the
budget's recognition of the need to

Governor's budget for engineering programs at U B, Stony Brook and Bingham·
tom . This amount will suppon 37 FTE's
and will be allocated by the Board of
Trustees and Chancellor. UB would
receive a perccnt.aac of that amount .
Expressing disappointment that the
original request wu so scven:ly whittled
down, Engtnecring Dean George C. Lee
said, Acquiring additional faculty is not
high on my list of priorities. We are at
present more in need of equipment,
laboratory facilities , space and suppon
positions."
·
Wbanon's original three-year plan
detailed the need for the special appropriation to U B and Stony Brook to
upgrade the engineering program and
bring the two schools to a higher, more
competitive level with the top-ranked

I

k

engineeriqschools in the nation.
The Chancellor's original plan called
for UB to receive S3.7S million for new
equipment over a three-year period , then
SSOO.OOO annually after that. During the
first year. according to the plan, UB
would get $620.000 for IS new facu lty
positions; $240,000 for 12 new staff po i·
t ions, a nd $120,000 for space renta l, in
add it ion to the $1.32.5 mill ion for
equipment.
In 1985 ( 86. according to the pla n, the
UB engineering school would get
S 125.000 for new equipment; a nother
$620,000 for IS new faculty; $160,000 fo r
eight staff positions. and $180,000 for
space rental.
.
In 19&amp;6{ 81, the third year of the plan,
the school would receive $75,000 for new
equipment; sliptly more than Sl million
for 25 ocw faculty; $100,000 for five staiT
positioaa. and $240,000 for space rental.
EnJU&gt;eering would rent 10,000 square
feet of additioaal space the first year of
the plan, 15,000 lhc second year, aod
20,000 the third year. In 1987{88, tbe

High-tech consciousness lws to go

pla.stic jugs for other water storage. We
leave a tap open when we're home, so we
know when water is running, and then we
fill the jugs. But you have 10 remember toturn off the tap when you leave t ~e
apartment." You gird yourself for the
imagined disaster (flooding) that will
take place when you enter the system.
You thank your neisJ&gt;bor, without
having the courage for the moment to ask
him about flushing the toilet on waterless

ltbousJ&gt; I koew little about
Turkey licfore I came to
Ankara Univenity in September, 1983 as a FulbrisJ&gt;t
Lecturer in American Literature and
make no claim now to being a
Turcologue aftt:r only several months, I
have made a few observations that I think
bear the test of daily living in this country
whose identity is a source of continuing
interest to foreignen and to its own
nationals.

A

For better and worse; Turkey is a
country of particulan, de-&lt;:entralization,
miniature and individual enterprise..
When an American comes here to live for
an extended period, he is likely to make a
number of mistakes because be looks for
answen to problems in the wrong places
and frustrates himself by imposing a set
of American expectations upon a
different cultural fabric.
I arrived in Ankara (in Central
Anatolia) during a bayram (a religious
bo.Jillay) to discover that the apartment
occurcd for me by the Fulbright
Commission (with the best of intentions)
bad little and occuional running water,
no beat, no bot water, no gas for the oven,
and an elevator and elec:lricalsystem that
went "yolc" (not working, try later)
unexpectedly for varying lenJ!ha of time.
I did fmd a telephone in (so far) good
working order that is a blessing because a
new phone costs, I'm told, $2,500 and
takes over a year for installation.
An American's flf1l inclination is to
calla centrarauthority (gas company, hot
line, 911) or, if a utilities problem
penists, a branch of l!ovemmcnt, or even
a government official. None of these
approaches would work for the common
man, if for anyone, in Turkey.
It would be difficult to get a useful
number for the, say, ps company. and an
employee of the company would
probably only respond to questions
asked by another company employee or a
governmeat officiaJ. There is a deep and
serious apprehension here about anyone
"'unofficial" playing a role in .. official"
areas. Army guards (Jandarma) are
posted with submachine guns in front of
every official building, embassy,
university, and at major intencctions and
roads .
The American's next inclination is to
find someone who knows the answen or
knows how to get the answers to tbcse
Maeoeral" problema. So, be looks for a
neiahbor who speaks En&amp;lioh and begins
his qucat. Because moot edueated Turks
have studied English, French, orGennan
in hi&amp;h school aod university, it isn't bard
to fmd a neighbor who does understand
En&amp;lioh; and Turks are univenaUy
"welcoming" to guests and to each .other

..

weighs over SO pounds full" And..., have

liThe apartment
had no running
water, heat, gas,
and an elevator
that went 'yok' "

("'you're welcohle," is the social term
spoken when someone enters a home).
ou find the neighbor, state your
problem, and ask what to do . First,
he commiserates with you. ""That's life in
Turkey," he says. Then be says that he has
some of the same problems, that either
the water level is too low in the dam
because of little summer rainfall, or that
there must be a problem somewhere and
that someone is probably working on it.
.. Don't worry, it•s just a matter of time."
At this point,the American wants to
know how to deal with the specifiCS of
bathing. coolcing. warmth, aod personal
hygiene. He is somewhat reluctant,
however, to ask his new nei&amp;hbor about
some of these intimate problema on fmt
meeting; be doean'I want to insult the
nei&amp;hbor or country by suagcoting that
the country doem 'I work; and be doem'I

Y

want to imply that the neighbor is any the
wone for wear because he, too, suffen
these conditions.
At this point, you cordially say, "I see,
wait," and then try to ~eta solution to one
problem - to a public and unemharrassing one. '"W hat about water?"
you ask. "Is there any possibility of
jl"tting water while I'm watting'l" "Come
m," he says, ..111 show you how we
manage." The American's heart gladdens, and he crosses that mysterious
cultural threshold with great expectation.
"It's really not too bad," your
neighbor, Orban, says, "it's just a matter
. of being prepared. Look, we have pure
water for drinkina and cookina." He
points to a large K1au jua with a braaa top.
You · are pleUcd to see it and wonder
immediately where you can get one, how
much it costs, aod who will carry it to
your apartment because it's dear that it

days, thousJ&gt; you know you may have to
-.sk him soon; and you leave, saying, "I
give you Gnd," "A/ahismarlaoik," and
add, "I may have a few more questions."
"Come any time," Orban Bay says.
As you leave, you notice that he has a
kerosene lamp on top of a fluted,
Ottoman cabmet, aod you begin to
. wonder what other penonal and
particular solutions there are to general
problems 10 speculate about, how many
different ways Turkish people have of
being self-sufficient. It occurs to you that
some old-fashioned Yankee ingenuity
and self-reliance may not be out of place
in this country.
Loolcing out of my apartment window
after this encounter that first week, I saw
in a field below, here on the outskirts of
town in Cankaya, that the Kapiti
(apartment building superintendents
who come typically from the country)
was carrying a jug of water to his
apartment in a wheel-barrow.
It dawned on me then that one might
do better here to live, in some sense, as a
"villager in the city" - to stop looking for
contemporary American solutions to
problems and to turn back the clock
unaginatively to an earlier, kfrontier" era
in America. I realized that I would do
better to look for the dcsi&amp;n in the
Turkish carpet and to let JO of high-tech
consciousMa. I wu bcainning to Jearn
somctbina about the Tw\iob structure of
aocial aucl -bcsic Mminiaturization" a subject I hope to punue in another
report from Aruuolia.

Orwell didn't fight for the communists,
saw 11 difference between socialism &amp; Stalit:~ism
EDITOR:
was quoted erroneously in your

I

December 8 issue in an article about

those of use who are planning to
teach George Orwell's novel, /984.
this spring.
First, the article says that Orwell
foughtfor the Communist Party in the
Spanish Civil War which is not true. He
might have, though, because when he
arrived in Spain in Deoember 1936hehad
little knowledge or interest in the political
diffcreoccs that separated the various
left-will8groupsalljoined together in the
fight against fascism. Orwell wanted to.
stop Casciam and dido' appreciate the
squabbles on the left.
The left in Spain included, at that time.
the Spanish Communist Party by then
completely under ihe control of Stalin
and serviq Soviet interests, not Spanish
ones; it also included tbe large a.nd
divided Soci.a list Party, the huge
ana.rcho-syndicalist trade union federation. tbe C.N.T., suspicious of any
government even a leftist one; it included
dissident communists wbo left the proSoViet party - Trotskyists and the
POUM. As it happened, Orwell. quite by
chance, fought with this lan.the POUM,
a party much bated by the Communist
Party. And it was on the front lines in the
Civil War against fascism. alona with this
POl) M that Orwell was shot in the n«k
in May, 1937. ·
Retumina to Baredona to recover
from his serious wounds, he discovered
that the now po-rful Communist Party
was rapidly COMOiidetina its control over
the anti-reseist. nr Republic, side, was
revenina the work.ina clua socialist revolution that bad taken place ja ~a, and
was out to destroy all those ldhst parties
who promoted that rcvolul.iOIL This was
a preview of Stalinisucrrorto come, and
Orwell, becaure he was associated with
this POUM, was a bunted man who left
Spain. retumed home to EnaJancl and
wrote his enormously infl-ial book..
Ho-r~ to C.tiiiOIIML (I are this every
sprill!! to il!lrndUCC the problematic of
socialislllto lltlldena in PSC/ CF 4U)
Ia order to discredit the prorcvoltll.ioaary left, the buae CNT and the
\ small POUM, commuaisu branded thaD
Troukyisu, and, u a rault. p~
This obviously utoJIDded Orwell who

This was Orwell's introd uction to the
Politics of Literature. (Today. it is common to put down those wh&amp;' critic:iz.e the
American arms build-up, who are said to
be .. objectively" pro--Soviet according to
the Reapn Adm"in.i.Jtration. Curiou.sly:.
neo-conservatives ia the New Riaht do
this, employ "doubletbin.k " loaic, yet are
quick to claim o~u as their own. See
Har~ri maguinc, January 1983 issue.)
As anyone who has read Homage
knows. Orwell"s Spanish experiences
served to confirm h is belief in socialism
- a socialism. that is, which is constructed by working people, aot by any
elite claiming to stand for working pec&gt;ple. This had been the burden of his pre-

radical politics, "why can) everyone j ust
get tj&gt;gether?" How could I and my generat ion have been so naive? Surely there
were soc.ialist.s in America who were not
Stalinists? Ves. Lhere were. but most or
thes,e were so preoccupied with provin,a
their antj-communism thaL they •wallowed American militarism as well, and
in panicular, the American partic&amp;,.tion
in the war in Vietnam. My aeneration
grew up dealing with that war. organizill8
opposition to it. and waa uninterested in
what pro-war socialists had to say about anything. Too bad. .
I k_now now there is a "contpirac:y .. to
perpetuacc the conf.,.ion of socialllm
whh pro-Soviet Stalinilm. T he Rialu in
America. represented by the Reapn

because they. too, oppose work.ina clan
interests, and prefer domination over the
Western left to real revolution - as
Orwell's Hom"'' showed .

Psycholop - that they would rather be
•btg ftsh tn a. small pood" than compete
with 26 units for funds from a
"supcrdean."
As far as Psychology Department
Chair Edward Katl&lt;in is concerned,
however, the "big f11h" theory doesn'
hold water. Katkin, wbo pcn;onall)V'
favors the Arts and Scicoc:a Collesc
concept, said the Social Sciences pond is
so small, u far as available resources,
that •big fuh can 'I survive in it." By
contrast, he believes that strong
departments could make a case to a
supcrdean for additional support.
Psychology as a department, however,
Katl&lt;in said, had no formal position on
the reorpnimtion. The CoUege question
was never reaDy debated during unit
mcetinp, he indtcated.
This jvas the same case with English, its
cbairmin, Richard Fly, noted. While the
unit tool&lt; no olftcial stance on the matter,
Fly feels the majority of the English
faculty aod, for that matter, most of the
faculty in Arts and Letters still suppon
some kind of reorganiZAtion.
The vote should not be interpreted as
an expre5sion of ...general hostility ..
apinst the merger, be cautioned . bu t
rather as opposition to the .. nature of the
prol'osal, as presented ." General
sent.Jmeot still remains in favor of the
move, he added , but he believes facull y
are not yet clear on what fo rm the
reorganization should ta.ke. His sense is
that faculty want a C)lrcfully planned and
executed change and also want
particulars on. how the new structure
would impact on the departments. These
arc desires that apparently wcrcn'
satisfied at the time ofthc vote, he noted.
He also ventured that some Arts and
Let.ten; faculty may have voted against
the measure because they were reluctant
to undermine the interim ADCAS
arrangement.

Increased space prompts new rental guidelines
"

By JOHN K. LAPIANA
nticipating expanded commuruty use of increasingly
abundant Amherst Campus
activity space, the Division of
Finance and Management has released
uniform guidelines for facility usage
which institute rental fees for nonUniversity groups and a controversial
profit-holding plan for all users,
tncludmg student and faculty organizauons.
According to Clifford Wil son
assistant vice president for Finance
M~_ge~nt. the regulation of camP.us

guidelines are in effect at other SUNY

A

and

units wh_ich hold numerous on--campus
communaty events.

Until recenUy, Wilson said, no need
existed for a concrete set of rules since
litt~

space was available for use by nonUntventty groups. Most activity facili-

ties , he noted, .. were being used from

mol'llin11 until midnight ." But after the
ompletJOn of Alumni Arena, Sloe Hall,
the Center for Tomorrow, and the soonto-be opened Student Activities Building.
he said, enough non-academic space
became available for both campus and
communtty Jl'OUps' use. ~we had been so
constricted tn space that we always said

·no' to outside usen," Wilson said ..... but
now, with Alumni Arena (and other new
Amhent Campus structures), facilities
are not bein&amp; used around the clock and
may be available for other P.urpoces.•

Non-Univenity aroups Wtll be charged
a set rental fee ran&amp;ina from $1.94 per
hour for Cary 134 to Alumni Arena's
$133 hourly rate. Campus11oups, while
not charged rent, must still pay, Wilson
said, ..any costs in {)uuina on an event or

report, the department "witnessed a
tremendous growth in its undergraduate
program," going from less than 100 to
almost 350 majors.
In fact, the unit 's small core faculty
combined with its large student load and
breadth of its graduate program was the
subject of criticism in Communication's
last outside graduate review in 1980. The
evaluation team essentially felt that the
department was trying to do too much
with too little.

Force on Communication, beaded by
Bunn , concluded that while the
department "could be disbanded without
irrevocable harm to the Univenity,"
more would be gained if the unit was
"able to strengthen its efforts through usc

The Tuk Force .- one of the ciJht
orpnlzcd by Academic Affairs in tbe (aU
of 1982 u .-rt of its academic
teorJ&amp;nization effon - was asked to
examine the unit &amp;lid to determine bow

noted because it is basically a "defensive

"proactive." Apparently others agree.

students turn to - th neJt
best thing to being there good old Ma Bell. But for
some. the break-up of the familiar Bell
syste m will pose a threat to that security
blanket:
Rising prices may ma.}:.e financing a
telephone more of a burden for the typical student , while deal ing a softer blow to
those receiving financial aid. Students,
like other co nsumers, will also face the
bewilderment of learning whom to call
for what service in the future .
Local rates are predicted to rise in t'he
hands of the seven regional companies,
responsible since January I for local services, mainly because they cannot charge
the premium on long--d istance which
formerly a llowed AT&amp;T to keep rates
down. Local service includes wiring,
hookup, wire maintenance and .all caHs
within the area code region- including
toll calls.
Wh ile the hikes will cause most U B
students to tighten their belts, those on
financial aid will find themselves, surprisingly, in a stightly better position than
others. According to Vice President for

W

Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti.
financial ajd will increase to co mpensate
for the larger phone bill. "The rise in
phone rates will be included in the budget
for financial aid, just as we allow for an
increase in the price of books, " he pointed
out.
Howeve r, that doesn't help students
who mainly get loans or are living off
famil y con tributions, Lorenzetti added.
For them, like everyone else, the only
course of action possi'bte is to Jearn about
the best deals available.
he NYNEX company, responsi ble
for a seven-state area, including New
York, foresees no rate bike until June of
1984, according to NYNEX representative Debbie Connelly. At that time the
most affected rate will be the nat rate for
unlimited calls. To economize, a service
that charges per minute talked is recommended . .. We won't know exact rates
until a few days before they go into
effect," Connelly said.
Diai ~ A-Visit , which was formerly a
discount service for long-distance calls
within New York State, will be conti nued
- but with some changes. The discount
of &lt;40 per cent will be applied only to those

T

phone calls made within the caller's area
code, a nd . consequently. the minimum
monthly rate will be dropped from S5 to
S2.50. Calls may be made at any ume.
Rochester was excluded from the 716
area code because of a decision on the
executive level .. in Rochester... Connelly
reponed.
For those calls beyond the area code
region , a hoot-up with some lon~­
distance service is required. AT&amp;T st1ll
offers such service, as do a number of
newer competing companies. Through
AT&amp;T a discount comparable to Dial-AVisit is available. offering 40 per cent off
calls made beyond the area code region
and a $3 minimum charge per month.
However~ this service is limited to Monday through Friday between 5 p.m. and 8
a.m., but is offered all day Saturday and
Sunday. according to AT&amp;T representative Carol lnfuso.
AT&amp;T bas also proposed a 10.5 per
cent long distance rate cut but tbeir
addi tion of a $2 access fee will, in most
student cases, counteract the cut. As the
Reporler went to press the access fee had
been delayed.
he deciding fac.t or in whether to stick
with AT&amp;T or o try the competition
- which includes MCI, GTE's Sprint,
Western Union's MetroFonc, Allnet, and
ITT's Niteline- is the number of IO'),&amp;- T
distance calls made. The other. carriersgenerally have lower per-minute rates
than AT&amp;T. but they do charge a nat
monthly fee also ..
To add to the confusion and to the list
of decisions to be made, phones and
equipment are still owned by AT&amp;T but
may also be purchased. A monthly rental
fee is charged for the phone, lnfuso
explained, but it is far less expensive in
the long run to buy it for between S40 and
S72, depending on the model.
Other brand-name telephones are
available at lower prices, although they
may not be standard models.
Both the local companies and AT&amp;T
have anticipated tbe inevitable bewil·
dcrment of their cu.stomcn and are answering any and all questions. The
NYNEX "Let's Talk" number is 1-1!00555-5000. AT&amp;:T may be reached at 1-

President Sample told the Cotlllcil that
the new proaram will have about 100
Teachina Fellows rec:eivina stipends of
$9-10,000 per year beainni111 tbia semester. This is a marked expansion of the
current Teaching Fellowship propam,
which hu some 60 Fellows receiving stipends of approximately $6,000 per year.
Crediting Vice President fo&lt; Resean:h
and On1duate Studies Donald Rennie as
the movina fon:e behind establishment of
the propam, Sample said the new fdlowlhipaare beinasuppol1ed by two soun:es:

" It's imponant to our doctoral studenu that they do some supervised uni-

ample also desc'ribed to the Council
his recently approved policy for provisional approval of new programs.
Explaining that he sees the policy as a
way to avoid imposing a moratorium on
new program1 while stiU avoid ina irrcv~
cable commitments of faculty and fund·
ing to untested proarams, he said, "I see
1his as a very healthy approach. This provisional approval is similar to the probationary appointments for new faculty." After a new proaram receives necessary suppon all the way up the administrative hne, it will be given a four- to
six-year provisional approval, durioa
which it can operate fuUy but will have no

"At the end oftheprovisional period, if

SimmonS pioneers surgery
for a spinal deformity
By BRUCE S. KERSHNER
young Guman man recently
travelled 4500 miles to Buffalo,
only to have his neck broken. It
was no accident, but a precisely
planned surgical operation by the internationally known Dr. Edward Simmons,
UB professor of onhopaedic surgery at
Buffalo General Hospital. He is the
world's expe.n on the correction and
treatment of spinal deformity in ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic and usually
progressive innammatory disease involving the aniculations of the spine and
adjacent soft tissues.
Dr. Simmons, wbo pioneered the
procedure in Toronto, bas performed
nearly 90% of occk osteomities in the
world sinoe 1967. The procedure involves
literaUy brcalWia the patient's neck or
spine to correct the deformity. Because of
Dr. Simmon~' ex~, BuiJalo is now
the major worldWida rer....t center fbr
sucb sursery. This is ~ly demoDJtra·
ted by the pbonecallstbatreaularlycome
in from ·sucb places as Saudi Arabia,
Weot Germany, South Africa, Japan and

A

Greece.
Tbe 40-year-old patient, Detlef
T.aioepe,joumeycd to BuiJalo from bis
bome in Aachen, Weot Germany, accompanied by his wife and his ortbos-dic
surseon, Professor Jan Zilkens. The discue bepn in bis mid-tceDJ as pain in bis
heels, elbow and koee. lltcause be was an
active athlete, "he blamed it on spons, •
Dr. Simmons said.
Although Tschoepe was told he had ·
the disease as a tccnqer, the severe symptoms of spine curvature didn't begin until
seven years ago. As hiJ bones softened ,
his neck began to bend and then fused.
interfering gre.a tly with the operation of
his family business.
he disease primarily trikes men
between IS and 40 yean old. lt begins
as low back pain and stiffness, sometimes
accompanied by sciatica-like paiDJ and
aches tn hips, shoulders and bullocks.
The symptoms usually sun in the saaoiliac joints and proaress up the spine. In
the advanced cues the venebral joints
become painful. gradually soften and
then fuse into solid bone. The result is a
patient with a characteristic bent...over
posturd, risid spine and waddlins sait.
One man that Dr. Simmons operated
on had his spine 10 bent and rigid that he
could only see backwards through his
lep. Other patients have had their heads
locked to their chests, making it difficult
to eat or speak, and impouible to look at
anything other than the ground. In all of
his cues, the sursery corrects the deformity, allowin' the patient to stand erect
and look llraJglll ahead.
Tbc sursery. which laoted 1wo hours on
Oclober 23, was performed with Mr.
Tachoepe fuUy conrcious duriDg all but a
few minutes of the operation. This was so
be could aDJwer the team .. questions
about any sensations or pains that could
iDdic:ale whether any nerves were bein&amp;
pincbed or the spinal cord was bein&amp;

T

·damaged. Because the patient could belp
guide the operation, any adverse: neural
effects could be corrected before they
became permanent. "If anything goes
wrong, you know it right away so you can
do something about it,~ Dr. Simmons
said to the Buffalo Ntws.
With Mr. Tscboepe sitting erect and
his head SIUpended by a "halo" device ,
Dr. Simmons removed a precisely measured quantity of bone from the posterior
portion of the spine in the neck region
between the last cervical venebra and the
lint thoracic venebra. Tbis area had been
administered a local anaesthesia.
During the few minutes of general
anaesthesia, Dr. Simmons lifted the
patient's head backward to break the
neck at tho. front ofthe spine opposite the
spot where the bone had been cut out.
This enabled him to raise the bead to I he
forward position.
o keep tbe head erect, Dr. Simmons
connected the "halo" device around
T
the bead to a special body cast. Mr.
Tschoepe will wear this for four months
while the natural bealin&amp; process fUSCI
the spine again where it wu surJicaUy
broken. As prescribed by Dr. Simmons,
he will then. wear a neck brace for two
more months. His personal onhopacdic
surgeon, Dr. Zilkens, wbo observed the
surgery, will monitor bis recuperation
back in West Germany.
Hereditary factors play an imponant
role in the disease, whose prevalence in
men is 3 to 4 per 1000, 10 times more
frequent than in women. The severe cases
of ankylosins spondylitis that Dr. Sim·
mons tfeats represent only a small percentage of the total number of cases.
Most people end up with "milder" form•
oft he disease, such as back, chest or joint
pains or peripheral anhritis. Ironically.
once ankylo is. or fusion, of the join1s
result.s, the pain usually d isappea rs.
Nearly all ankylosing s pond yli t i•
patients possess the antigen HLA-B27
that is closely associated with the spinal
disorder. The role of the antisen is not
known. but it is believed to be only a
marker distingu1 bing those individuals
who ha\·c an immune rcsponK that
mates them susceptible to an as ye1 undefined infectious agent that cause tM
disease.
Although the surgery enable patient
to return to a relatively normallift:s:tyle:, it
does not permit the person to bend the
neck or turn the head . Tbi did not seem
to concern Mr. Tschoepe, however. when
be left the hospital four days after the
operation to .ee nearby iagara Falls.
"He was so deli&amp;htedju 110 be able to •i t

Fillmore
From page 16
more supported measures be personally
abhorred. By granting California admission to the Union as a free, or non-slave,
state and permitting the slavery question
to be solved by " popular sovereignty" in
the territories conquered during the Mexican War, Fillmore was forced to support
and enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. considered one of the most nefarious pieces
of legislation in American histo ry. The
Act enabled slave maners to reclaim an
escaped slave anywhe,. in the United
States on the basis of only an affidavit
from the owner stating that the person in
question was indeed his property.
Accused slaves were not entitled t'O a trial
and could not testify in their own defense.
Fillmore backed the law with the fuU
force ofthe federal iOvernment, much to
the surprise and chagrin of Northern abolitionists. While the Compromise pacified Southern politicians and netted
numerous Fillmorites below the MasonDixon line, for all practical purposes Fillore's political ca~er had ended . But,
ex lainett" Robert Rayback in Millard
Fillh!or.: Biography ofa Presidmt, Fillmore bad no real presidential ambitions,
anyway, and was satisfied in the knowledge that his actions helped preserve the
Union.
"The Fugitive Slave Act is horrible
today but jt placated the South," Plesur
said. "In the context of the era, (Fill;
more's approval) made much more
sense."

commander-in-&lt;:hief of the Armed Forces, moved hundreds of troops into Fort
Sumter and refortified its arsenal as a
precaution apinst attack and u a force-ful warning to potential Confederates.
Unlike his predecessors and especially
his successor, Franlr.lin (Manifest Destiny) Pierce, Fillmore was not an imperialist. He fought with southwestern
adventuren and northern idealists alike
to keep Americans out of Cuba. Several
times durina his presidency, groups of
Americans plotted to conquer the i land,
the last territorial possession of
Spain in the West. eit.h er to free the people from colonial domination or to capture the rich plantations and slave populations. Only because of F'~lmore'l

.

consistent warninjp that the U.S. would
not sanction any VIOlations of Caribbean
soverianity. did these mercenary minions
subside.
Fillmore's staunch anti·imperialist
attitude is also credited with quelklhing
American and European thirsts for
acquiring the PacifiC lr..ingdom of Hawaii.
Both the British and French expressed ,
through military operations, an interest
in the tropical paradise, considered an
ideal supply oenter for Orient trading vessels. But, Fillmore warned that the
islands were off-limits to any imperial
designs.
Wh ile frownin' on outright "landgrabs," Fillmore dod encourage establishina new American economic !JIItrkets
around the aJobe. To increase t!8de. be
and Secretary of State Danid 'Webster
appointed Commodore Matthew C. Perry

u American emissary to the em pire of
Japan. Japan had isolated itself from the
Well, fearing a repeat oft he British domination of China. Various European
nations had attempted to pry open the
mysterious Japanese door, but without
success. Travellina in a Ootilla of warships, Perry peacefully entered the Bay of
Yedo and delivered the A~can President 'I message to the Emperor. Shonly
thereafter he replied to Fillmore and
Japan entered the modern world.
illmore refused to run for re-election
in 1852, althouah he wu almost
drafted by a desperate Whia part9.
Numerous prominent politicians pleaded
for Fillmore to change his mind, to no
avail. On his deathbed, Henry Oay, consistently at oods with the President and

F

himself a perennial canllidate for the
White House, told his followers, "Fillmore has administered the Executive
Government with signal success and ability. He has been tried and found true,
faithful, honest, and conacientious.•
Despite such rare praise, Fillmore
refused to reconsider and Winfield Scott.
a bulbous. politically inept Mexican War
hero was nominated. On elcclion night.
Scott won only four out of the 31 states
and Franklin Pierce, the Democratic
contender. easily became the new
President.
Millard Fillmore retired to Buffalo
only to be approached by members oft he
Oedgling American Party to be their
standard bearer in 1856. The American
P&amp;rty, also known as the "KnowNothings" because members would
answer questions about the l"'rtY'I position with ... , don'- know, .. 'ft'as an off~
shoot of the by then-defunct Whi&amp; Part(.'
which Fillmore helped found . Antiimmit~rant and anti-Catholic, the Know
Nothongs were the party of unioni ts who
would tol$:rate slavery if such tacit support would extinguish sectional fires .
Althqugh downplaying his party's antiCiltholic platform, Fillmore polled only
800,000 votes in the general election, finishing third behind Democratic winner
James Buchanan and Republican contender John C. Fremont. But the election
wa closer than the return indicated . If
Fillm&lt;VC had polled only 8,000 more
vote in three tate , Rayback notes. the
election co uld have been thrown into the
House of Repr($entatives, "where
nobody co uld have predicted its outcome." While Fillmore bad no delu ions
concernina the election 'I results, he did
admil to beina "a little mort ified at beina
so unanimously reject~ . •
Rather than continue a comeback, he
turned his attention to Buffalo. And it
was here, many Fillmore historians note,
that the former President made his most
lastlna contributions.
" He was undoubtedly Mr. Buffalo."
Plesur cx plai~ . ..Name a civic oraani·
lJition and he wa pro bably president or
it." Althouah a ker liaurt in the establishment of the Ho torical Society, the
Buffalo publi library, currently the
nation' eighth larac t, and the Art
Gallery, Fillmore, Plesur said, lefl his
Janina mark in the field or educat ion. He
auisted in layina the groundwork for the
Buffalo public school system and "his
greatc t leaacy" was the University ot
Buffalo, Plesur noted . "These are the

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

Council on International Studies and the
Office of International Studies.
The interim counci~ whose acting chair
will be named by Academic Affairs after
coRJultation with its members, will
.. oversee the University"s responsibilities
in the broad areas . of intemalional
education," including .. review and
recommendation of initiatives and
policies." The interim council will also
serve as the primary vehicle of
communication to the vice president for
academic affairs on international
program development, noted \loldemar
lnnus, assistant VPAA, who helped draft
the administrative realignment plan.
The interim council, according to
Associate VPAA William Greiner, is
expected to remain active fo~ no !ongcr
than six months, after wh1ch umc a
permanent council and chair will be

Also u pan of the reorganization
effort worked out \n cooperation with
Stud.ent Main, the responsibilities of
the Office of International Student ·
Affairs, headed by Dr. Joseph Williams,

will be expanded and become the Office
of International Education Services
(IES). The offoce will be responsible "for
all services currently extended to foreign
5tudents and scholars• plus it will serve as
the ..central reference point on matter"
dealing with international education
exchanges," lnnus relayed:
..
.
More specifically and 1n add1t1on 1t
wiU:
• provide advisory and informational
services about study abroad and overseas
educational opponunities;
• serve as a liaison with public and
private agencies, organizations and
tnstitutions, including SUNY Central
and other SUNY units;
• provide an .. administ~t.i~e ~"for
University-wide exchange mltl&amp;t!Ves, and
• work with the interim Council to
review issues critical to international
exchanges.
Williams who will still report to Dr.
Anthony Lorenzetti, dean of the Division
of Student Affairs, would also serve as
executive officer to the Council.
In addition, the reorganization calls
for Dr. James Bunn, dean of Arts and
Letters, to consider assuming entire
responsibility for existing overseas
academic programs, most of which
involve the Department of Modem
Languages and Literatures, and for
Social Science Dean Ross MacKinnon to
coordinate tbe printing, production and
sale of internationally oriented monographs, many of which arc authored by
Social Sciences faculty.
As in he past, this)atter activit¥ will be
funded on an Income Fund Relmbursab•le basis, lnnus advised.

the program and for developing
"linltages• with tbe Offoce of. ln~;C.m•­
tional Education ServiCe$ to facilitate
exchange activities."
·
In ternis of support for the new
operations, Academic Affairs is transf~r­
nng a secretarial line to St_udent Affll!"'
from International Stud1es and will
proVide a GA positio~ to ~help. with the
logistics of the Umvers1ty-W1de programs." Existing institutional prog;r~m
bodgets (such as for the BeiJmg
exchange) will be transferred to Student
A~irs .
.
""Those units assuming new responsibilities will have allocated to them the
portion of the old CIS budget that bas
been historically expended for that
purpose," lnnuo said.
.. An internal reorganization of the
Office of International Student Affairs
and the realignment of Univc~ity n:spor_r
sibilities will enhance the quahty ofservaces rendered to the international community on campus, ... relayed Lorenzetti.

Innus believes that the reorganization
proposal is " largely congruent" witb the
thrust of the recommendations contained
in a l'C{'Ort from the Task Force on
Intemauonal Programming. issued last
February.
•
That rcpon - which began by quoting
a 1978 SUNY mandate for systemwide
strengthening of international education
and development of programs that focus
on the concept of global interdependence
- ·recommended that the offices of
International Studies ancf International
~ _Student Affairs be merged into an Offoce
of International Programs and Services
and that the position of director of
international education be "formally
rograms · developed at the departestablished with its incumbent playing a
ment or Faculty level will be

he added, will be asked to designate an

P

;W

area of international programs, it
cautioned that administrative rcorgan-·
iz.ation should not be used ""as a pretext
for further reduction in international
services, nor for diminished encouragement for teaching and research oriented
toward global issues."
The report requested that existing
resources be maintained in the area of
international services and studies,
"especially temporary service funds tbat
have abetted internationalization of
research and teaching in multtdisciplinary SCitings. ~ The VPAA, the
repon continued, should "provide funds
to develop and maintain crossdisciplinary academic programs and to
encourage nr,.w ideas, international
exchanges and scholarly activities. •
Delayed response from Academic
Affairs on the recommendat ions
contained in the Task Force repon
caused some faculty to worry that
international programming at tht
University was being axed altogether. In
September, about 60 faculty signed a
letter to President Sample which
lamented that no action had been taken
on the rcpon and called for the
·continuation of the Council on
International Studies.

In mid November, Academic Affairs
met with concerned faculty to outline
plans for reorganization.
Innus explained that when International Studies was transferred back to tbe
control of Academic Affairs shortly after
President Sample took office, the VPAA
decided to incorporate the Task Force
·recommendations into the larger
reorganization effort already 5tarted by
Academic Affairs.
'
The task force was originally charged
by former President Ketter in late 1981.
At tbat time, International Studies had
been transferred out of Academic Aff~in
~nd· into the Office of the President. 0

U B students are discovering
that eating on campus may
sati&amp;fy not only hunger pangs, but also
intellectual appetites, counesy of a
recently launched faculty-student outreach program.
Entitled FAST (Faculty And Students

D

Together) Talking. the project is designed
to mingle faculty and students .. outside
the traditional classroom environment~ ...
According to FAST coordinator Joseph
Krakowiak, faculty members are being
invited into the dormitories to speak with
students on various topics of mutual
interest.
""We want to sec interaction on topics
other than those taught inside 1he classroom," Krakowiak said. ""We want

faculty to share their &amp;vocational and
professional interests ... Since its midNovember staning date, FAST hu sponsored talks featuring faculty members
Keith Henry and Terry Nardin speakin&amp;
on Grenada, Ed Michael discuuing
weight training, and Milton Plclur on
Presidential sexual hi-jinx.
FAST events fall into two different
"menus," Krakowialt explained, dependent on the topic's drawiug power. For
talks of "limited appeal," he said, a complete dinner will be served to the speaker
and his or her audience. But for talks
expected to draw upwards of o40students,
Kraltowiak said FAST will provide aeneral refreshments, although a small group
of students, preferably the event's organizers, may dine with the professor prior to
the lecture.
While I'AST is being administered aod
organized through the Division of Student Affain, Krakowjalt pointed out that

can also orpnize an event if interested .

Soviets blamed for famine in the Ukraine
exctpt to kttp it out orhunary Ukrairuan

By JOHN K. LAPIANA
rapped in • cloak or dectption, secrecy. and contin ued
stau nch denials, the Soviet
Union's .. terrible secret .. the murder of millions of Uk rainians by a
man-made famine during the early 1930s
- is finally being uncovered by inquisitive Wc~tern historians, according to
Harvard prorcssor James M. Mac&lt;. Thc
findings or these scholars may reveal history's worst case of mass murder and
genocide, he said .
An expen in Ukrainian research and
director of a Harvard University center
investigating the Soviet .. man-made fam- .
ine" of 1932-33. Mac&lt; told a Knox Hall
audienc:c last Thursday that Russ ian
actions during the depths of world·wide
depression may constitute humanity's
most heinous crime, eclipsing. in its own
way, Hitler's altcmpted annihila1ion of
European Jcwry.
.. This is a story of genocide," he said.
.. on the sa me order of magnitude as the
Jewis h Holocaust."" However. basic differences do exist, Maoe cautioned . Adolf
Hitler, the NILi dictator, intended killing
every Jew to obliterate the people, while
Joser Stalin, the Soviet leader and archilect or the Ukrainian raminc, hoped to
kill only enou&amp;h "to brina a recalcitrant
group into line.. and eliminate . their
national consciousneu.
Yet . the numbers murdered as a roult
of the two dictaton' purges are not
a.wl'ully dissimilar. Educated estimates
mark the Holocaust death toll at between
six and nine million. Mace said, while the
Ukrainian tally hl\5 bc&lt;n pegged by Westem historians variously at seven through
15 million. The relatively large variance
between the Ukrainian high and low •
estimate, he explained, is due partly to
the current Soviet aovernment's lack o!
cooperation in invatiaating or even
acknowlcdaina the deaths and to Stalin's subsequent attempts to obscure the
magnitude or the mllSSICre through the
doctoring of state 5tatisticaJ records.
According to Mace. the Ukraine raised
Stalin's ire because it was too ""fierccly ..
independent to fit contentedly into a
Soviet dominated mosaic. Because of the
Ukrainians' consistent exercises in
'promoting their own language. culture,
and religion. Stalin viewed the nat ion,
roughly the siu or Franc:c, u presenting
an obstacle to homogenizing his Soviet
empire.
..The Ukrain ians were attempting to
start their own Asian cultural renaissance. ... Mace said. "Stalin saw thi1 as
thrcateninato himselr and demanded the
leaders be condemned. "'The Ukraine had
become the ... most nationalistically con·
scious. sclf-assenive•• province in the
Soviet Union, he noted, and thus the
most troublesome to Stalin's precarious
hold over Russia. 1be confrontation
between tbc dictator and the
independently-minded pcoplc , Mace
noted. is similar to the threat to Soviet
domiutioo in Poland today.
Stalin lauoched a two-pronaattack on

Nurses
From page 5

up information on medications, freeing
nurses from having to nip through book
after periodical after book. And the
computer can standardize r:ecording,
thus avoiding in&lt;:omplete nursmg notes,
because it can be programmed to
"prompt" a nurse who forgot to add an
item of required information to a
patient's chart~
.
It's important, Ro~ld . saod,. ~at
nurses become involved 10 the declSIODmaking processes concerning what
computer system they will be reqllired to
use and how the computer will be used.
Nurses, for example, should decide what
information should systema~ically be
recorded by computer 1n nunong notes.
But before nurses can make these
major and minor decisions, they must
become knowledgeable about the
abilities and limitations of computers,
llonald aald.
All4, abe ad4ed, since hospital
administraton are not known to ask
nurses for their opinJons, nurses must tell
them.
ll nurses must acquaint thcmseJves
with the computer and some should
specialize in the computer. Nurses are
needed now, she said, to develop their
own computer systems.
She mentioned that one of her
un~duate nursing lludents hal
eatablilhed a special major combining a
B.S. in nursing and a B.A., tentatively
titled, "Information Systems in Health
Cue." Her studies are in the Schools of
Nursin&amp; and Management and the
Department or Computer Science.
All nurses, Ronald believes, must
realize the potential power of the
computer. And they should be prepared
to examine problcml in such a way that a
computer can solve them.
"'We must become more analytical. We
mUll learn bow to look at our practice to
sec bow a computer can be integrated,"
Ronald Aid.

Musical scores are more than performance d irect ions.
They are the composer's imprint. of c ourse, and can even
assume a visual l ife of their own. ''Music as Visual Art ," an
unusual exhibit of unusual scores. is currently on display
through January 1 In the Music Library in Baird Hall and
continuing in Slee Hall.
Organized by the Music Ltbrary steff, the exhibit
includes scores by such avant--garde stalwarts as John
Cage, Sylvana Bussoti and Karlheinz Stockhausen. There
are scores which allow forex\_8nsive performer improvisation , or which depart entirely from standard notation.
But the emphasis is on the visual effectiveness of these
pieces, not on their musical explicat ion, say exhibit organizers. For that reason , no explanatory material has been
included. Scores such as Morton Feldman's Projection lor
Solo Cello (1982), an interlocking series of boxes and
lines, cannot be read by ~ class ically-trained musician.
unless he or she has received special training. Others do
- use standard musical notation. but distort it for visual
effectiveness. An example is PeterSchickele's The Defini1/ve Biography of P.D.Q. Bach ( 1976), in wh ich clusters of
cascading notes can be seen dropping from the end of a
broken, tilted staff. Such scores can be " read " in the traditional sense.
Other scores In the exh ibit. however, are literally
" unplayable," since the composer has merely sought to
exercise his visual dexterity.- rather than to c-reate the
usual set of musical directions. Examples of this category
are Tom Johnson's Symmetries ( 1981 ), in which the notes
are arranged in symmetrical patterns, and William Hellermal')n's " to the last drop from visible musics, " sub-titled
"an eye score," which is shown here.

8rown the ley 10 Black success
in America is clear: cultivate and
maintain a pride in the Black
heritage.
"Surviving in rhe United States if
you 're not white is no1 an easy thing to
do," the producer of "Tony Brown·s
Journal" told a primarily Black audierwx
of65in Knox 1091ast Friday. " In aculto-·
rally pluralistic society your culture has
to serve as the foundation for
achievcmen1. ..
BroWn clarilied this by saying that
Blacks let white society define them
according to false beliefs - "and according to those beliefs we're failures. If you
let others tell you what you arc. they

expectations. You've got 10 know what

"From the time we (Blacks] arc small,

truth is, even though there are more
whites in America. eight out often people
in the world are not white ... he pointed
out. Increasing emphasis on limited

MILBRATH: How has the environmantel movement developed end
chengecl?
BROWER: It has changed in its scope of
concern. When I came into the Environmenial Movement it was co ncerned with
wildlife. with preserving rivers. and with
keeping dams out ."'Dut it has sh ifted now:
I believe that began with the space shots:
it is now concerned-with th e fate of the
Earth as a whole. This planer is differenl
from any other in the universe in that it
has water and air and life. Jt is the best
planet that I've seen so far.
M: Do you think that the environmental mov•ment Ia developing Into •
worldwide mov.ment?
8: I think it has: th a t pro bably began with
the I972 Stock-holm Conference. That
conference gave a lot of people who were
not aware of what was happening a good
glimpse of what was happening to the
planet. At that time we were trying to talk
about .. one world ... yet there were 113
""worlds .. with each nation having a different view. ln the \ t years since Stockholm there have been ma ny changes
around the world and many things predicted at that time ha ve come true. People have become quite concerned aboul
the environment but not many things
have been done to improve it.

1

M: How many counlriH ere The
FMncla of lhe Earth ectM In?
B: We arc organized in 26countries. They
address the problems in their own countries but there is a lot of concurrence on
matters across countries: right now therr
is a conference going on in Lisbon.
M: Do you MIKt the! ..,vlronmentellem Ia now ~ • ...ntrel
thenw?
B: I think the central theme is that we
want a sustainable society and we don'
have one. No where on the civilized earth
arc we following a sustainable procedure:
we are auacking the environment as
.!hough it will always be renewed. We also
are attack.ing 1hosc clements that arc
essential to renewal The soil. for example; we arc attacking that on this continent rather than giving it a chance to
renew itself.

II:WMrwdo_you -lhe..mtonmen181 _,.,....'fjiilng In lhe future?
8: I would like to sec it build constituencies so that the people who like to eat, for
example, can continue to obtain the food
they need. And the people who want to
stay healthy can insure that their envir- ·
onmcnt docs not become toxic. This constituency must become everybody, not
just a few that are misnamed elitists or
somcthins of that son.
It is somethins that everybody needs to
become involved with if he cares about
the bigest population of all, the
hundneds of billion• of people that
haven' been born yet. Their senes an: in
our cuotody and we're not siving them a
very sood future u yet.

Computer, or owa, faila. Thai II a pretty

thin thread to hang a world on. It is a
man-made problem and men with the
help of women are goi ng to have to fix it.
M: Why do we have this great confidence In technology; that It Ia always
going to wort&lt; end keep us ufe?
B: I have more co nfidence in Mr. Murphy
and his Law.
M: What role do you think envlronmentellata end the environmental
movement will play In the 1984
electlono?
B: I hope that they play the biggest role
that they have ever played and I think
that we are getting ready for it. For years
the environmental movemcnl stayed
clear of politic~: they would only gel in1o
legislative aclivity. h wasn'l until 1969
thai we organi1.cd I he League of Conservatio n Voters and began to intervene in
political candidacies. '!"ax exem pt orga~­
izations.like most environmental orgam7..ations. can not becolnc ac1ivc in political
campaigns so we form a political 3cti ~n
commiuce and can then play a role m
political campaigns. A lot of people are
now becoming quite aware of what they
can do politically. And the envir 1 mental movement is supporting candidates,
most often gelling out and going door to
door for them. The political action committees of environmental groups can'
begin to compete in terms of mo{\ey with
the corporate PACs. We make up for it in
devotion. sincerity and just a lot of hard
work..
M: Ar•n't political managers or can
dldeiH likely to dlamlaa environ men
tellate bKauaethere aren't v..-y many
of lh•m, how are th•y going to "lake •
dlff•rence?
B: Political managers, if they're any good
at all, watch the polls and i f they do they
realize that the environmental movement
has very stro ng public backing. A lot of
polls have shown that people would
ra lher take unemployment than a haltered environment. or choose clean air
over jobs. That ·s a tough choice to make
a nd I don"t really think that they have to
make that choice; there are jobs in the
effon that it takes to clean air up. The
clever political managers notice that. but
Mr. (James) Watt's former boss seems
not to have noticed that.
M: Do you think lt\et - could a-t a
political cendldet• to tek• en
_ , . . . , lortltrtght, . . _ , •• prom8lend In , _ o f ..wtronm.nlel
proiKIIon u JIM main future or hie
campaign?
B: I think thi s is possi ble but there is one
catch. There is a gap between the backing
for the environment shown in 1he polls
and the way people cast their vote. If the
people who are environmentally concerned would ind icate that's how they are
going to vote and also were to get out to
vote it could make a very great difference.
I do think that the next election is going
to hang very much on tl\c environment;
especially on the sreatcst environmental
threat of all: whether we an: soins to
move toward or move away (rom nudear
war. We've learned in the lost few weeks
that a nuclear war would be more of an
environmental disaster than we ever
dreamed of.

M: In some of our wort&lt; at the Environmental Studies C • nter we're
collaborating with scholars In England and Germ•ny on • three nation
study of " Environmental Belief• end
Values." We found In Germany that
54JMrcent of the people favored both
the peace and the environmental
movement•, end 85 percent of •nvlronmentetlota favored both, while
oomethlng like 45 percent of the busIness leaders were opposed to both
movements.
B: I believe that one of the problems is
that the leaders of most corporations do
not believe that peace is economically
feasible. Wa rs mean jobs; an outbreak of
peace would be distur~ing . We have to
gel a su bsti tute for making jobs; we have
to find a way to convert to a full employment peace economy.
M: You' re calling fo r a rather wholesale transformation of the way we run
our everdey llveo.
B: I certainly am. The way lhat we are
running our everyday lives is heading
towards disaster. If it were never clear

also imporlant that they have I heir own

probably have two to four times as. many
people as the Earth can sustain. Yes. we
can have a big party fo r a generation or
two. but there won' be any big parties
after that. I think that we should cut
down on that kind of partying so that
other generations will have a fair chance.
at least as good of a chance as wevc had.

loaded now with hubris; it's a new thing..
it's in its childhood, acting as if it knew

wondering if there aren' !)Orne limits to
science. Any scientist hearing this would
just be exasperated at the suggestion butl
th ink that one of the limits ought to be
that scientists should not take anything ·
apart that they can' put back together
again, thaa would slow them down a bit.
Right. now we arc confronted with the
results of a lot of scientific achievements
that we don't know what to do about. lt"s
like that Tom Leber quote. "The rockets
go up but where do they come down?
'Th\t's not my department,· said Werner
Von Braun." That's the isolation that
they seefllto have set for themselves, with
great and .fine exceptions such as the
Union of Concerned Scie ntists and the
Bulletin of Atomic Sci.enti.su. These arc
two institutions that are trying to bring
the necessary responsibility, and there
needs to be more of that.

problem. When the atom bomb saved me

countdown to 1984
which began 36 years
ago has been whittled
down to just 24 days.
Already Time magazine
has heralded its imminent
arrival, devoting seven
pages to the continuing relevance of the book 's contents
and the genius behind the words.
Calendars chronicling th~ fictional decay of American democracy inlo a totalitarian police state
are hot commodities in any bookstore
and soon. marketers predict. T ·shirts
with · catch phrases such as "doublethink" and " newspeak" will replace the
Garlields and Gumbys currently tatooed
across America's bosom.
It's chic to contemplate the police state. theorize on the horrors of thought control, and
search for evidence to prove that President Reagan is just a benevolent Big Brother.
George Orwell's 1984 is not just de rigueur reading
for the ..jet set" or merely a scie nce fiction thriller. but a
book which transcends trad itional categorizati on. To
label 1984 a pol itical nove l. a work of English literature.
or eve n a social commentary would be limiting its true

Dear Colleagun:
On December 13 (Katharine eornell Theatre, 2 p.m.) the Faculty Senate will be concerned with a discussion of an important
concept in the future configuration of our
Univenity; the formation of a Colleae or
Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In this special
R~port~r insert you will find two position
papen pertaining to this matter, along with the Tuk Force Report on the future of Arts and
Saences and a summary statement of the Vice President for Academic Affain.
I believe, in this regard, that the Trustees have, by policy, made the President (and throuah
him, the administration) responsible for institutional development and effectiveness and at
the same time, and in the same way, they have made the Senate responsible for advisina on
Univenity plans, academic policies and faculty obligations. These are interlocking responsibilities: bow the Univenity develops and whether or not it is effective will be determined by
the soundness of its planmna, the appropriateness of the policies and program it formulates,
and the productivity of its faculty.
The .. Arts and Sciences" issue is the fint of several mauen which I believe merit the
Senate'sleadenhlp, including the position oftbe Division of. Undergraduate Education, the
CoUeges, and the increasing emphasis on the research responsibility of the Univenity, but it is
a critical mauer which will require that the faculty make its position known. To this end, I
urge that you read the papen and join with the Senate in its debate of this issue.

.his position paper, written at the request of,P.er
Faculty Senate Executive Committee, argues
that no convincing CIISe has been made for the
immediate establishment of a College· of Arts
and Sciences.
The faculty of SUNY I Buffalo 'have the authority and
responsibility to review all proposals regarding formation,
reorganization or dissolution of academic units. Those
favoring immediate creation of a College of Arts and
Sciences should demonstrate both that their diagnosis is
correct, and that their proposed remedy will both work
and work better than what we currently have or could
readily achieve through adaptation. Where is their evidence? What assurances can they give that major administrative revision of this sort would work?
Little assurance exists that the administrative amalgamation of three large Faculties will improve research,
teaching and learning at SUNY I Buffalo. Indeed, the disruption of many proven, tested avenues of decision making could pose serious problems. We should proceed cautiously in instances of proposed reorganizatio11, neither
expecting that new lines of reporting by themselves will
resolve nagging issues, nor assuming that established patte"!s cannot meet present and expected needs.

sciences have, until recent months, been fragmentary,
however. In ilie past, UB could, readily fill its classes·with- .
out major investment of time, energy, and money, because
of its cost, quality and programmatic range. This situation
has changed. UB bas started to involve itself, directly and
vigorously, in recruitment, with the active p!rticipation of
the Deans of the arts and sciences faculties. Let's see how
well this effort does before embarking on major organizational change; the short term results seem somewhat
encouraging.
2 • Creation of a College of Arts and Sciences does
little, in and by itself, to reduce the bureaucratic maze
students face. Academic responsibility would remain
fragmented, even were the three Faculties to be amal·
gamated; for example, DUE, Continuing Education, and
the Graduate School are not included in the terms o(. the
proposed Senate resolution. Such key functions for l tu·
dents as admissions and records, computing services,
housing, counselling, and orientation would also continue
outside the purview of the proposed structure.
What is needed, in fact, is broader coordination. As I
shall elaborate later, President Sample's intended
appointment of a Provost represents a far more important
step in wrationalizing" our current administrative structure
than does an immediate amalgamation of three Faculties.
3 • Current faculty expectations at UB bear litt~
resemblance to the expectations of growth prevalent a
decade ago, despite the Task Force's assertion. All parts of
the University have felt the squeeze inherent in increasing
the student-faculty ratio and in avoiding retrenchment; the
three core deans - indeed, all deans - have responded
creatively. What wgrowth" has occurred has ~n highly
localized, responsive to student enrollments, and has often
been insufficient, even in the view of those gaining additional resources, for the greater load they bear.
Contrary to the Task Group's belief that structures have
·remained unaltered, our .academic administration has
changed significantly. Th wmatrix" structure of the late
1960s-early 1970s exists more in memory than in reality.
The Division of Undergraduate Education has lost all the
resources it once devoted to innovative baccalaureate
teaching; the Collegiate system is being dismantled; the
Councils on International Studies and on Urban and
Regional Affairs are pale shadows of their former selves.
Each ofthe one-time Faculties had been intended to house
- l!oth wacademic" and ~professional" programs; they no

T

y perspective on this .issue derives from close to 20
M
years at SUNY I Buffalo. I have served under five
Presidents and eight Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs.
These years in the University have taught two major
truths:
• A quality university is known primarily for its fa:cult·y,
not for how it is organized administratively; no single
model js ipso facto superior.
• Nevertheless, an unduly hasty change can undo years
of careful efforts.
ot structure, as it has evolved and
I believe that our c
as it can develop furth.r, offers the most satisfactory way
to meet our academic goals.
The wcrisis" we are experiencing arose from several
causes, most of them far beyond the immediate control of
the University's faculty or administration. Budget cuts or
staffing ceilings imposed from on high have (in President
Sample's words) seriously threatened the intellectual
infrastructure on which quality research and teaching rest.
UB has lost nearly 500 full time positions in just over five
years, while the number of students has been increased .
The UB student - faculty ratio has been boosted by
decisions made elsewhere, and the administration has been
forced into a series of exceedingly difficult decisions especially to avoid retrenchment. Internal reallocation of
positions to meet shifting student needs and interests has
compounded the problem.
It is tempting to argue. with hindsight, that the existence

of a College of Arts and Sciences would have avoided the
reductions of which we are all aware, presented in Tables I
and II; it is equally tempting to hope that the creation of
such a College would preclude potential future cuts.
Neither view is accurate. A &lt;lifferent administrative struc·
.ture in the past would also have been liable to major cuts;
whatever the administrative structure of the future, it must
be able to cope with continuing pressures, and must have
the confidence of the faculty.
In my view, adoption of the proposed Senate resolution
likely would create additional problems impeding UB's
efforts to achieve greater recognition as a major public
research university. The wcure" seems worse than the wdis·
ease." The Senate resolution as it is worded should be
rejected .

look more closely at the purported weaknesses of
current system.
LTheettheusPlanning
Task Group on the Arts and Sciences
cited three concerns that led to its recommendations:
1 • walarming rates" of decline mark undergraduate
enrollments (especially upper division) in Arts and Letters,
Nat ural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences;
2 • the absence of a single authority able to worchestrate
a comprehensive academic policy" weakens our ability to
respond to enrollment trends and other factors;
3 • structures and expectations of faculty are will·
~uite&lt;!" to contraction and reallocation, since they were
mhented from an era of expansion.
All these points are debatable. And, more important,
none would be resolved by immediate creation of a Colle$."
of Arts and Sciences. Let us look at each in greater detatl.
1• Undergraduate enrollments at UB have followed
national trends. The arts anchciences at most major public
universities have been negatively affected by increased
student interest in professional areas. Institutions with and
without Colleges of Arts and Sciences have suffered; structure has had little influence. Part ofthis enrollment trend is
cyclical, and may be returning toward greater balance.
En~n~ring ~n~ollments have for decades been marked by
penochc varaataons; demand for primary and secondary
teachers (normally· majors in arts and sciences in New
York State) has been sated for several years, . but is
expected to change toward deficit later this decade. However, part of the trend has been IICCCierated at U B by local
factors: our University offers by far the widest raqe of
undergraduate degrees in SUNY, especially in professional areas; our stuclenta, over half of whom come from
Western New Yorlr., tend to opt (at times of economic
decline) for f~ekls seeming to offer sure employment. Tbese
are well lr.nown.

�ACKGROUND • As past member and chairman of the Faculty Senate's Academic Planning Committee and with service on the
VPAA 's Faculty/ Staff/ Student Advisory
Group, I have been involved with the question
of a College.of Arts and Sciences for about two years. It is
my beliefthat this is an issue we as faculty must face, and to
the proper solution of which we must commit our best
efforts. It is my earnest hope that each faculty member at
this University will be able to give consideration to the
problem presented and the solutions proposed so that we
may together take counsel to do what is best for the
University.

T HE DYSFUNCTION AND ITS SYMPTOMS •

The
Task Group on the College of Arts and Sciences was
summoned to examine the validity of concerns about the
· state of the Arts and Sciences here. and to make recommendations concerning corrections, if needed. The Task
Group identified three areas cfsystemicdysfunction. They
~re:

• There has bun a severe and long-term decline in enrollments in Arts and Sciences.
• The administrative structures presently governing
Arts and Sciences are. not only thmuelves chaotic and
diffuse, but support chaos and diffusion.
• 17Je present structures of Arts and Sciences were based
upon assumptions no longer valid, and now inappropriate.
My own examination of the problem leads me to agree
completely with these conclusions about the state of Arts
and Sciences here. Indeed I would add a fourth conclusion
which I hope states adequately what I believe the dysfunction to be.

• The Arts and Sciences here have, over the past decade,
come to play an ever smaller and more peripheral role in
thelifeofthe Uni rsity. Theideaofundergraduateeducation in the Arts and Sciences as something distinct from
professional and preprofessional training is moribund. In
many quarters Ans and Sciences are seen as having the
role of se.rvice providers to the professional schools.
The evidence to support these conclusions is abundant. I
am in&lt;;)uding a small sample here mainly because the Task
Group Report does not do so. I think the accompanying
tables are self~xplanatory.
In addition. I have examined tbe yearly reports of the
Deans and Chairmen of the Arts and Sciences which
they have written over the past few years, and find them an
emphatic narrati e confirmation of the abo\·e statistics.
Outrage, bewilderment. helplessness. and hopelessness are
- their chief unifying characteristics as chairmen have
watched resources. lines, and students slipping away.
What is lacking is the sense that there could be an effective
way to deal with these problem • or that such sufferinaand
diminutioh is remediable.

OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
I shall propose next week in the
Faculty Senate that we urge the administration to undertake as soon as pos ible measures which will lead to the
formation of the College of Arts and Sciences as the academic and administrative structure which will be most
capable of addressing and correcting the afOiction of Arts
and Sciences here. Such a structure presents the following
advantages:
• As a widely-underst od and well-tried system thi will
be the clearest outward sign of our commitment to an
undergraduate education in which the Arts and ciences
play a central part. which those both within and outside of
the academiccommunit{ will grasp. I am not aware of any
other srstem capable o doing thiS.
• ThiS Colleae will possess, if it is wisely created and
endowed. characteristics opposite to those which the Task
Group found to describe the present situation about which
the terms Mweakness," Mdispersion." and wBalkanization"
could riahtly be er:nployed. The Task Group report itself is
critical ofthe lack of purpose, desip, and direction which
it has discovered within the Arts and Sciencq. Indeed,
policy formation and implementation in the Arts and
Sciences are seen to be scattered amona many different
entities with much resultant confusion and misdirection.
From a systems manaaement point of view the present
situa tion is a mess and stands badly in need ofreorpnization, simplification, and unification, all of which will be
provided most effectively by the Colleae.

terized Arts and Sciencer berc over the past decatle. This~
the Task Group saw. I should make it clear here that I dot:
not quarrel with what the Task Group found to be true ~
about Arts and Sciences here, only with what the Group=
recommended be done to sol•-e the problem. I find it an .!!
inescapable conclusion from the evi~ce that the wstruc- ~
tures" which have governed Arts and Sciences (if indeed"'
they can be said to rise to that level) must take a share of:
the blame for what has happened.

This I would call Part II of the Cosmic Insufficiency
position, since again the of\ en unstated apodosis is. "Well.
why should we spend all this effort when the statistical
trends hown will probably continue?" I agree that in the
near future competition for Arts and Sciences students.
and especially the best Arts and Sciences students. will be
fierce (and this will be true for students in other areas as
well) . However, I do not share the conclusion that this
means we should sit on our duffs and bemoan the situation
while failing to take effective means of meeting the challenge this situation represents. To be uccessful in this
competition means to have an academic and administrative system which can not only respond owerful~to the
stimulus of competition. but one which can innovate and
create. one which bas vi ible life and movement.

__,._./
o. I am always puzzled by this question and can attribute
it only to some idea that there is a fixed pie to be divided
upon between undergraduate education on the one hand
and graduate education and research on the other. At
every research university of the first order with which I am
familiar . excellence ip research and graduate teaching goes
hand-in-hand with serious triving to maintain excellent
quality in underaraduate teaching, and to provide the best
possible life for undergraduates. Most major research
institutions maintain a College of Art and Sciences or its
equivalent as the center of the university and its academic
life. Indeed if we examine the situation here we find that
the serio us decline in undergraduate teaching in Art s and
Sciences has not meant a corresponding hift to graduate
studies. but has hurt graduate studies. especially if we
reflect that a substantial portion of f'TE in tructional
losses have been graduate and teaching assi tant hips.

�and sciences, Health Sciences, RPMI, and variou~ other
schools; potential reinforcement (or even synergism) of all
these units would not be facilitated by a College of Arts
and Sciences, but certainly would be aided by links among
the current isolated parts. Environmental studies, to take
another example, not only involves Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Rachel Carson College, but has clear
roots in Engineering, Architecture, Law and Management; all need to work together. Policy studies exis~. in
various degrees of anemia, in Architecture, Educau~n .
Social Sciences, Management, Law, Urban Affa1rs,
Health Sciences, and potentially elsewhere; an a'."s and
sciences structure per se would do little to foster th1s area,
for it requires broader coordination. On grounds of fostering interaction among faculty, thus, a &lt;::ollege of Arts and
Sciences offers far less advantage than hnks pursued under
the Provost's guidance.
.
I strongly believe the Provost should have a faJr chance
to proceed on the basis of evidence he or she deems neces. sary. The new officer deserves an opportunity to study the
. strengths and wealmesses of the current system. Further, 11
is best to treat the question in an evolutionary manner. As I
argued above, major modifications have in fa~t occurred
through an evolutionary process, through creauv~ adaptation to difficult circumstances. A new academic officer
should not be burdened with a reorganization of arts and
sciences without being convinced by carefully colle&lt;:ted
evidence that it is the correct course of actiOn.

Research • President Sample has frequently 1denufied
research as the primary goal of UB. Indeed, as a co mp~e­
hensive graduate center, this University has a spec1al
respon·si bility to resea rch. In no fashion do P"! ponents of
immediately creating a College of Arts and Sc1ences Illustrate how - indeed, whether - such a Co llege would
facilitate faculty research efforts.
.
.
__
I believe externally-funded research m1ght m fact be
disC'Ouraged by silch a step. Existing Deans operate at
levels close to the facult y. They have detailed knowledge of
the disciplines involved , of the space and personnel needs
for research, of the impact on graduate p~ograms, ~f ~he
criteria of quality, of appropriate agenc1es for gatntng
external support. Deans themselves are appointed in part
beca use of their research accom plishments; they can
knowledgea bly foster their colleagues'efforts. A more distant, remote administrative structure - as inevitably
would be the case with a College of Arts and Sciences would vitiate the detailed awa reness necessary for significant expansion of research efforts.
Students • Undergraduates regularly complain about
the vastness and complexity of the University's administration .. A College of Arts and Sciences might well, despite
its founders' intentions, further this alienation. Students
want, and need, smaller, p~ore coherent units to which to
relate. A sprawling College with major internal diversity
appears retrogressive. Its creation could engender
confusion.
For the sake of undergraduates, other ' types of links
seem more important. or greater importance, as suggested
previously, would be the coordination of student-related
activities currently divided by our administrative structure. ·The Office of the Provost should work with Student
Affairs, Finance and Man.ment, and Aca4emic Services to offer better student services. DUEcquld certainly be
drawn into closer contact with 1111 units offctina baccalaureate programs, including (as examples) further implementation of General Education, of academic minors, and
of honors programs.
Feculty • Wherever they find their academic homes,
faculty members believe their Deans should be aware of,
and sympathetic to, their unique problems, experiences
and aspirations. A Dean of Arts and Sciences inherently
would be more removed than are the existing Deans from
what faculty members in the three Faculties do. How
adequately can a laboratory scientist understand individual studio instruction in the performing or studio arts? Or
a literary specialist comprehend the resources necessary
for laboratory courses common in the sciences? How readily can quality be judged at times of initial appointment,
promotion and consideration for merit increases in such a
wide raqing entity? U B faculty would not be well served
by having an administration perceived as even more distant than what they currently have.
&amp;pen of contnll• Professional schools, it has often
been pointed out. have well-defined missions, reinfon:cd
by accreditation requirements, long history, and links to
-prac:titionen. Deau aDd staffs ofthese acbooll can readily
acquire dcWJod mowledac of iDCIMdual uaita, aiDce their
spa11 ol.control ia relatively limited. Such an advaDtaac
would not exist in a CoiJeae of Arts and Sciences. It would
hoUR no leu than 60 per cent of the Academic AfJain
fKVIty. ODe Dean would have close to an im~bly larJe

new College would represent y~t another layer of bureaucracy in what many percetve as an already overbureaucratized University.
.
It can be argued, of course, that comparable pubhc
research universities are organ1zed w1th colleges ':'f arts
and sciences grouping 30 or 40 dis~ipli nes. Such ev1dence
must be viewed with caution, and tn •ontext. What works
at an individual university cannot be trarL&lt;planted root and
branch to another. The Msolution~ for each campus must ·
be designed for its needs, goals, history and style.
et me summarize the basic arguments I have

.
LThepresented
immediate establishment of a College of Arts and

Sciences would not do the following:
• It would not, in the absence of other reorganization enhance the quality and Mdelivery" of undergraduate education, nor increase the attractiveness of
B.A. programs to prospective applicants.
• It would not increase the visibility and role ofthe
arts and sciences for students an!f faculty, but could
rather reduce its current role, making it but one of
many units in the academic administrative structure.
• It would not by itself dramatically change the
SUNY pattern of resource distribution based on
student-faculty ratios and enrollment patterns.
By contrast, the immediate establishment of a Cojlege of
Arts and Sciences could have several negative effects:
• It would hamper research in many areas, by diminishing the knowledge and encouragement that
deans' offices currently can provide.
• It would introduce additional confusion and
uncertainty in decision-making, at a time when other
major alterations (e.g., the coming together of Academic and Health Sciences under a Provost; the fuller
implementation of General Education; clarification
of articulation between SUNY units) should occupy
faculty and administrative attention.
• It would create an entity that would place within
a single academiC&gt; unit over 60 per cent of the Academic Affairs faculty, whose one Dean would have
close to an impossibly large Mspan of control," and
who (though perhaps primus inter pares) would still
be but one of more than a dozen Deans reporting to
the Provost .
.
.
• It could red4ce faculty and student morale m the
three affected faculties, by mald'\llthe administration
more remote and reducing the sense of shared academic interest.
ajor reorganizati~'! must be based upon the follow- '

steps, at a mmtmum.
MFirat,ing there
must be a clear diagnosis of the disadvan-

tages of the present sy~tem. What issues ~n be attributed
to the existence of three Faeulttes per se, m contrast to a
single College? Might the primary problem in fact l!e elsewhere in the way in which student enrollments, natiOnally
as weli as at SUNY/ Buffalo, have gravitated toward the
professional schools? Budget problems in no way connected with organization should not be used as a smokescreen for dubious change.
Second, there must be a careful expositi~n of the
advantages a College of Arts and Sc!ences j)rOVIdes. ThiS
exposition should address the q~esuons. ratSed above questions that have not been sattsfactonly answered .
Third, there must be some attention given to the experience of other universities, faced with similar shrinkage
and shifts i,n resources, in reorganization. Such comparison might well indicate that redrawing of lines of responsrbility might result in greater harm than benefit.
Fourth, there must be consideration of a range of altnnatives, not merely stress on an either f or choice. The
question should be addressed in terms of several alternatives - chief among these being modifications in. and
improvements to, the uistilf8 system in order to address
spedfrc problems.
Ultimately, the effectiveoas ofthe University depends
on the ability of its students and facuhy to work toac:ther in
the creation and dissemination of kDowledac. I have sugsested there is little unambipoua evidence - u contrasted with unproven (and ~ unprovable) perceptions - that the c:unent stnactUR • ICDoual)' defic:ient m
ita operation. It appean u thoqh tbe enthusiasm for a
Colleac of Arts and Sciences aprinp more from a aeaae of
seneral malaise about the exiltina system than from a
dispaaionate analysis of ita streqtba and weakneaca, and
a careful evaluation of alternatiwa.
- The Task Group, whose report is printed ebewhere in
this issue, has made a series of prudent recommcadations.
These should be implemented. To do so, the Faculty
Senate should defeat the motion to be debated December
I 3, and adopt instead a recommcadation favoring the
steps outlined by Auoc:iate Vice President Greiner and his
aroup. The Tuk Group's recommendations have the
advantqel of devclopiaa orpnically from a known,

t seems to us th~t collapsing the current faculties of
Arts and LeHers, Social Sciences, and Natural
Sciences and Mathematics into a single faculty
si ngle dean may have considerable
headed by
impact on this Unive rsity. particularly regarding
undergraduate education. Because many undergraduates
from this University come to health science programs, we
also should be concerned with the quality and breadth of
their education. Moreover. because we arc pan of this
Universi ty and no t an autonomous unit. we should be
concerned and involved with undergrad uate education.
In general, we believe that function sl!ould determine
form. We are concerned because we are not certain of
the exclusive function of the faculties to be collapsed
relative to the overall goals and aspirations of this University. Consequently, we are equally uncertain how or why
combining three faculties into one would better serve the
overall function Of this University or just how such a
change in structure would impact on health sciences.
The president has outlined reporting relationships
.under the new p.rovostial system .- all deans. including
difectafof libraries and the ( dean ?~ of the graduate school
a~to repon to the provost. No me ntion, however, is made
in any public statement or document of which we are
aware regarding the reporting relationship of a director
(dean '/) of undergraduate education or even if such a
division will ellist . Because of these uncertaint ies. we are
inclined to vote negatively on this resolution . unless we
hear strong arguments in favor. · ·
Other questions that arise in relation to theformarion of
a college of arts and sciences and undergraduate education are:
• How can a dean of arts and sciences logically determine a mission(s) or allocate resources to such a d iversified
group of departme11ts (e.g., classics. music. econo mics.
geogr.aphy. computer sciences and biology)'!
• How would health sciences be able to implement combined programs between itse lf and undergraduate programs (e.g .. combined BS: MD or BS: DDS)'/
• Where does continuing education fit in the proposed
hierarchy?

some coordinat ing "superdean." I do not believe such
attangement would do anythil1g but further confuse the
issue of administrative control and direction of Arts and I
Sciences. I believe the re has to be an exchange - depart-£
ments will give up their three faculties in return for a single ~
College. a College. which, as I have proposed will be much
more effective in meeti ng present probltms and future.,
challenges than the o ne now in existence.
•
5 • Well, can't you tell ua exactly what th111 College of 15
Arts and Sciences would look like?
~
o. I ca nnot. and I do not believe it is appropriate to
prejudge what must be the result of carefully investigating "'
exactly what our system requires such a College of Ans &amp;
a nd Sciences to look like. I have no reason to believe that it
will be identicaliniol'm and tli o ur old College of Arts ana Sciences ( 191 9- 1967) nor identi alto anyone e lse's College
of Arts and Sciences. However. I do assu me that it will
gather to it elf in addition to the three fac ulties those
administrat.i\'e and service functio ns which it must have to
control and direct effectively all aspects of undergraduate
education in the Arts and ciences. One of the chief
strengths of this proposal is that we ca~ give it exactly the
life a nd form we wish. Thi&gt; brings us to another question:
6 • Won't this be a terrible wrench for the unlveralty,
eapeclally at a lime when we are aearchlng for a new
provoal?
It might be. if by voting to approve my motion on ~e
14t h. the Senate were giving its approval to a College of
Arts and Sciences. that . &gt;prung in full armor from some
ad mini trator'&gt; head. would go into effect the ·eek after.
No. the Senate is voting o n its commitment to an idea: :\n
idea that must be brought 10 life by careful and pat ient
work . I ha ve not me.t un,•onc who claims th ut should the
Senate vo te to support the pro posal a nd the VI'/\A "art
plans in motion immediately thereafter, there would be a
lapse of less than 18 month&gt; before a ollege of Arb and
ciences could become a reali ty.
7 • What will your propoaal do that the Taak Group
plan will not? Ia there really much of a difference?
I do not believe that the Art s and Sciences a nd undergraduate education in 1\rt nod Sciences can be governed
adeq uately b)• a part-time commiltee oncerned with
"coordination . .. This i&gt; u far too important and comple•
an issue for &gt;uch a solution . I believe that the Task Group
plan will perpetuate the problems we have identified. and
for the victim&gt; of t hi&gt; ystem. especially our students. thi&gt;
wo uld be intolerable. The real differenceu that I propose a
~ ·systems management o rganii.at ion headed by a si ngle
adm\nis trator. nithcr than the perpetuation of another
sy&gt;tem that ha&gt; not worked .
8 • How will the C'ollege of Arta and Sclencea pr(!poaal help atudenta?
We have recognized that the quality of undergnduate
education a nd student life here are both problems which
need to be. effectively addre ·sed . T he acull r Senate has
historically demonstrated its concern in thos regard by
proposing measures that wo uld improve both: through the
creation of a I can nf Undergradu ate Educat ion. the Genera l Education Program, and numero us other re&gt;olutions.
It it&gt; my icw tha t undergraduate education us a distinct
ente rprise, a n idc.a embod ied in the Deanship of Undergraduate Ed ucat ion. is moribund. if no t already to all
pructicul purpose . dPud. 'I hi&gt; is bad. not nnly for us in
Arts and Sciences. but lor everyone at this University,
everyone who beloeves thut it should be a full and comprehen;ive univer;.oty with 17,000 undergraduate•.
•
1 do not mean to imply by thi ~ that those who work
wi th in the Divi&gt;ion of Undergraduate Education(lfweaan
still &gt;peak of it as a separate entity) are not hard-workinll
and high ly ded icated . hey are both, and arc stri vina
mightily to pr~erve quaht y undergraduate education in
many different way• . But they need help. desperately need
help. Undergrad uate education especially in the Art and
Science• mu t be recoani7.ed a a lc&amp;itimate idea and it
must have a permanent place in lite tructure of the Universtty. l d o not believe that can heppen without a ollege

I won' hide that, and J believe that what hu happened to

designed to set off the body of a report with a
cen.ain distance. As distancing devices,
preambles are atl the more important when
one is to be introduced to something with
which one is extremely fami liar. (n this
instance the preamble frames a report on the
structure, or lack of it. by which education is
carried out at US. Everyone who reads thjs
report bas first-hand fam il iarity with part of
that educational enterprise. But a task group
report must generaliu: from individual cases
to a set of principles and problems which
gradually emerged from our discussions,
initially as tacit premises, then as first principles to be stated explicitly in a prologue as the
groundwork for final recommendations. The
difficulty of the task is to meld I hose principles

irito timely priorities.

The Principles

F

irst, UB is a comprehensive university.
That definition entails all the implications
of a major research instiwtion, with an exemplary undergraduate and graduate component in the Ans and Sciences, and with a
correspondingly st rong range of professional
programs.
Second, a general education in the Arts &amp;
Sciences is presumed to be the basis for subsequent expertise in those disciplines which
comprise a comprehensive universi ty. This
presupposes a common core of courses for all
student.s and represe nts a renunciation of the
smorgasbord approach of past decades.
Third, the debate between general and profe5Sional education is a crea tive tension that
ca nnot be resolved once and for all . and perhaps should not be resolved , for that debate
helps to shape chanaein the pendulum history
of American education-.

The Problem
irst, enrollment~ in the Arts and Sciences
have declined at alarming rates, greater
than national norms. This decline is attributable to several causes, among which are: the
image of OB as being especially hospitable to
professional education, the lack of an authorItative means of delivering undergraduate
instruction across the universit y, and the
inhibitors of academically divided campuses.
Second, at UB the prese nt administrative
structure distributes edp.cational responsibility to such varied units that no single agent ha.s
authority throughout the university to orchestrate a comp~hensive academic policy for the
deHvery of these, or other, first principles.
That is, comprehensiveness is hampered by an
academic evolution toward more straitly
defined specializa lions wilhin disciplines.
which can become insti1u1ionally compartmentali7.ed in1o narrow goals . In additio n,
various support functions are dispersed into
separate offices under separate vice presidents
so that common purpose is hampered by
separate constituencies. For instance. the
coordination of academic mission under a
University College or a university-wide Col·
lege of Arts and Sciences i.s impeded because
integral services to such a univer&amp;al structure
- such al recruitment, admissions, orientation, advisement are presently housed under
four vice presidential offices.
Third, the history of this institution began
in an era of unprecedented expansion for
American hiaher education. Despite the fact
th;at the Iauer half of its two-decade history
(sance 1972) has been in a contractionist economy, the university has not modified itsstruoturea or its expectations from the decade of
expansion. This problem should not be
construed as predictina a decline in enrollments for Ans and Sciences students. On the
contrary, current plannina is predicated on an
increase in Arts and Sciences enrollments. So
an ingrained expectation must be combatted,
that any plan for increased cooperation or
reorganiZAtion i.s a commitment to lesiCI' eoala
and fe...er lines.

Underpcdv.te Coruteil (UGCL)
Members should include Arts and Sciences
Facuhy Deans or their designees, Dean/ Director of Undergraduate Education, Dean/
Director of Continuing Education, Chair of
the General Education Committee, representalives from Faculties and Schools with an
undergraduate program, e.g. EAS, SOM.
SAED, HS , etc.• and student representatives,
two from DUE and two from MFC. (The
DUE student representatives should be
chosen by the Student Association, and the
MFC student representatives shouJd be
chosen by theM FC Student Association. The
student representat ives should be equally
divided between Art s and Sciences and professional school majors.)
Comm~ttt: We have not specified the exact
number of members for the Undergraduate
Council. That detail should be worked out by
the VPAA and the Administrative Council in
consultation with the academic planning
groups, and other approprialC consultative
bodies, including the governing bodies in the
Arts and Sciences Faculties. We believe, however, that the three Ans and Sciences Deans,
or their designees i.r. academic rank associate
Deans from each Faculty, and the Deans/ DirectonofDUEand DCEmustbemembersof
the Undergraduate Council, along with
selected faculty and st udent representatives as
indicated in our recommendation. The
Undergraduate Council is intended to provide
a forum for administrative officers, faculty,
and students to provide support for the development of undergraduate programs in the
Arts and Sciences, both major programs and
programs which support undergraduate work
m the professional schools.
•
The Undergraduate Council should have
two major functions for Arts and Sciences:
I . to aid the Administrative
Council in matters regarding the
first two years of undergraduate
instruction, e.g. evaluation of overall curriculum; delivery of instruction etc., and recommendations for
improvement;
2. to advise the Administrative
Council regarding the evaluation
and imp rovement of Arts and Sciences maJor programs and their n:la·
1 tionship t o other undergraduate

Ttfer~p~:r:·and staff of DUE should continue to report to the VPAA ,a nd DUE should
act as the chief support office for the Undergraduate Council.
Grcdulll&lt; Co1111cil (GCL)
Members are the Ansand Sciences Faculty
Deans. or their designees , Graduate School
Divisional Committee chairs for the Arts and
Sciences, one graduate student representative
from each Arts and Sciences Faculty, and a
representative of the Graduate School.
The Graduate Council should have tOese
major functions:
1) Advising the Administrative Council and
the Graduate School on all policy issues
re41rdina graduate programs in the Arts and
Sc1~nces ;

2) Advisin&amp; the Administrative Council
regardins interdisciplinary study and
research, and especially regardina interFaculty cooperation in establishina courses or
proarams, panicularly in li&amp;ht of national
trends in education.
C~ The chairs of the Underpaduate
and Graduate Councils should be choten by
tbc YPAA after consultation with the membership of each Council.
ln order to further the coordination and
effective administration of sraduate proarams
in the Ans and Sciences. the Deans of the
three Ans and Sciences Faculties should be
memben of their respective Graduate School
divisional committees.
Altbouah the ronC'rpt of a Colleae of Arts
and Sciences: has su pport within the Tuk
Group, the Task Group is unwillina to
recommend the formation •t tltis tinw of a
CoUeae of Arts and Sciences within Academic:
Affain. for several reasons.
a. The Tuk: Group perceives that
the major problems which it has
identifted are of an uraent natu~
and thus require immediate solution. or the many organiutional
structures which the Task Group
studied durin&amp; t'he courx of its

uai-.ily•. The ...... iow:orporalioa ol

DUE into the VPAA's ofriCe should
lead to improvement in seYeTal areas
of tbe Task Group's concerns as they
relate to lower and upper division
undergraduate education.
d. The Task Group's recommendation that the VP"'A take steps to
facilitate the integration of the graduate school process, as it relates to
aru and sciences, with the administrative offtces in Academic Affairs
should enable improvements in several areas of the Task Group's concerns regarding graduate education.
e. The Administrative Council for
the Arts and Sciences, the Undergraduate Council for the Ans and
Sciences. and the Graduate Council
for the Arts and Sciences as recommended by the Task Group may be
responsive to cu rrent problems
b:cause they are designed to serve
coordinating functions.
We refer here to the .. concept .. of a College
of Arts and Sciences because we have found
that this encompasses a spectrum of possible
organizations. In its simplest form , a College
would be an amalgamation of the three core
facul1ies into an adminilitrative unit having its
own executive officer and office. and charged
with the responsibilities noW perfonned in the
core Faculties. but there was notstrolf'i suppan for this simplest form. Other possibilities
were considered by the Group and many other
definitions are possible. We are particularly
interested in tbe prospect of developing a
broader cha rge for a College. which would
incorporate functions now discharged in Student Affairs, Academic Services. and in D UE
and which could transcend the present organization of the Univenity.

trative spectrum it don not appear tJ'Lat we
have provided effective means to ad,4rise the
provam leaders, the chairs and unit beads.
regardiq the choices open to them. and the
limits within which they should plan. For that
matter, we have not really requi~ of them
much in the way of lona term planninc. nor
have we provided incentives to do so. We have
lefi to the chain and unit heads in Arts and
Sciences the major responsibility for program
leadership, but without ddinins that role. and
while extractiOJ budgetary flexibility whieh
may make leadership mcaoincful.
We believe that it is time: for w to redefine
our administrative roles so that the realit y of
our circumstances is reflected in our oraanttation. If choices mwt be made among options,
and if those choices must be made at several
le\--els - Department. Faculty, Division, Uni·
venity - then we ouaht to have a structure
which defines clearly the respomibilityat each
level, and which facilitates the now of infor-mation from.kvel to !noel so that the choices
arc a1 l~t fully informed, and, it is bopcd.
wise:-GUr concern is that in our cunent struc-.
turc the VPA.A\ role is not well defined, the
University Deans have ~more nomioal than
~I a uthority aod rnponlibility. tM: Faculty
Deans arc too often intermediaries bct~-ecn

But the General Education Committee oper·
ates within an administrative framework
which may not provide for appropriate interaction between the committee and the administrative offtcerS of Facu1ties. which will be
~araely responsible fordevelopingand deliver·

At present v..-e have no effecth-c means to
brina to,ether the requisite faculty and staff to
dcsian and implement lower division pro-gnms of instruction and advisement which
are coordinated across Faculties or divisions.
Rather ~-e pruent a smorp.sbord of lo•-er

at best, aided by a small and O\"Crburdencd
staff of DUE advisors.
In sum. we believe it imperative that we
establish means for both faculty and staff,
lbo\'C the le\'el or the depanment-, to survey
the lower division offerinp. and to provide
adenbip for the development of coordi·
na1cd curriculum options both for the benefit

ability to attract and to retain studcniS on this

at least for the near term, we also see the
necessity for that office to work m?st c!o~~y

that in a comprehensive university the liberaliz.ing and liberatins educational experience of
traditional arts and sciences programs pro-.. ·
vides the foundation on which rests the upper
division work in both the professional schools
and in the disciplinar-y majors. It is as well a
• spirit which shouJd permeate graduate programs in the Arts and Sciences, since it is that
Faculty and its graduate students which are
the instructional cadre for most of our undergraduates. lnthiscontextthen. thespecialand
unique lower division mission of the Arts and
Sciences Deans and faculties is but an exten. sion of their special place in a comprehensive
university. Pan of that special place, and deferencc;,to it from the professional faculties, is
earned by the extent to which the lower division function is done well. We think that win
happen only if the line officer Deans acknowledge and talc.e responsibility for that aspect of
our program. tn that effort they should be
supported by the VPAA, the other Deans, the

• Establish an administrative Council for the Facullies

• Establish an undergraduate program council, consisting of the Deans of the three core Faculties, or their

[Comment: the VPAA intends that this Council serve as
the primary administr•tive advisory group regarding
undergraduate programs. Accordingly, it should bave
both faculty and administrative off.a:rs as members, as
well as undergraduate students. During 1983-84 we will
explore the possibility.that this Council assume some or all

ComnKIII: We are convinced that integration
and coordination of our Ans and Sciences
Facu.lties are needed, and that we must strengthen the leadership roles of the administrative
offices for the Arts and Sciences. We are
mindful, however. that processes of institutional change are often painful, threatening,
and disruptive. Ln the current external envi ronment, we ought not take steps which might
associate internal reorganization for our own
purposes with externally generated goals and
priori ties. Moreover, change should flow
from shared values and assumptions, and
should build upon current strengths while lessening current shortcomings. We think that
the three Faculty structure has IJUlny functi onal and valuable elements. It reflects. at
least roushly, disciplinary affinities; faculty
and "staff have learned to work effectjvely
within it, for many purposes; it flu historical
legitimacy. It was, after all, the basic plan fCJ.P
reorganizing the College of Arts .and Sciencc:s
in 1966 which first led to the formation oflhe
three Faculties. For a brief period in 1966 we
had a College of Ans and Sciences with three
divisions - Arts and Letters, Natural Scient"ts and Social Sciences - but with a College
executive office. That coordinating office disappeared in the Meyerson reorganization of
the whole University. It appears to us, albeit
with 20-20 hindsight, that there was much to
be said for the retention of that coordinating
function. We urge, therefore, that steps be
taken, as soon as is practicable. to provide
coordinating structures which wiU pull the
three Faculties together for common purposes
and facilitate their interaction with other
Faculties, but preserve their curre-nt internal
governance structures. We urge that this be
done immediately. For 1be longer term we
have recommended processes for evaluating
our proJreSS towards improviQJ administrative and academic leadership for the Arts and
Sciences, and for moving to funher restructuring of University adminislration if that
seems advisable.

chaired by one of the Arts and Sciences Deans. In the
future, the Council may be chaired by an Associate Vice
President for Undergraduate Education, if it appears that
such a position should be established, or by the Dean of
the Division of Undergraduate Education. if it is determined IO conlinuc the present administrative role and
responsibilities of D. U. E. Resolution oft he issue of o verall
leadership for undergraduate cducalion, panicularly. In
the Arts and Sciences, will be a conlinuing agenda item in
the months ahead .)
o Study funher the possibilily of forming a gradua te
council for the Arts and Sciences.
[Comment: the VPAA is not yet persuaded thatlhe formation of such a council is necessary or appropriate. Much of
the work proposed for this council can be and is performed
in the Divisional Committees and Executive Commiuee of
the Graduate School. The Deans will now be members of
their respective Divisional Committees, thus facilitating
their roles in advising on policy formation and implementing policy affccti
graduate programs. Adcas can also
provide a vehi
for dealing with the common concerns of
the Arts and cicnccs Faculties regarding graduate educalion. The V AA will explore with the President and Vice
President fo
cscerch and Graduate Studies, possibilities
for fundamen
reorganization of the administrative
structure for gra ate education. The VPAA and the core
Deans will continue their discussion on this issue and
decide during Fall1983, whether or not to form agntduate
council for the Arts and Sciences.)
• The specific charges to Adcas and !be U ndcrgnduatc
Council will be developed by the VPAA, .Ctcrconsultation
with the Faculty Senate, the Dcens and Directors, and
faculty and other consultative bodies.

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

Johnstone, president of Buffalo State
College (BSC}, bemoaned that campus's
lack of a field house, emphasizing the size
of his undergraduate population second largest in the SUNY system. after
UB's.
Currently, Johnstone said, the ..old
gym" masquerading as the BSC ':field
house"is utilized "180 percent ofthetime
according to SUNY measures" and the
women's sports program must use the
gymnasium of the Campus Grammar
School located on BSC grounds. J ohnstone blamed the cap for Buffalo State's
.. serious lack'' of athletic facilities as well
as for the austerity mentality which ma y
stifle any forthcoming funds to rectify the
problem.
"It is inconceivable that the largest
state universit y in the world ," he said,
··would have to start dosing its tent
(because it ran out of funding). "

SUNY, Wharton suggested four o ptions
for consideration by the 'A&lt;semblymen.
Each option, t he Chancellor noted, could
help ease SUNY's construction crunch.
Increasing the cap's limit and eliminating it completely are two logical alternatives, Wharton explained, but th e Chancellor also urged the Assemblymen to
research other possibilities, including
redefining the syste m 's terms of
indebtedness and the possibility of issuing "non-moral obligation" bonds. Each
avenue could, he said, effectively skirt the
cap restrictions.
"If the wording of SUNY's debt limit
was changed from bonds-issued to
bonds-outs~anding, $484 million more
would become available to the system, ..
he said. That figure represents enough
capital to complete all of SUNY 's pending projects. Such a redefinition, Wharton said, is ~· normal corporate procedure... The vocabulary switch would
allow SUN~to issue new bonds as it
repays its o ut standing debts. The only
restriction would be that the new issues
could not exceed the payoff. The cap
-would then become a "rolling ceiling,"
allowi ng the system theoretically to be
perpetually $3 billion in debt and to continue construction as long as funds are
available under that Jimit.
According to Wharton's figures , the
$484 mill ion that SUNY has al ready paid
back on its accumulated bonQ..-Oebt of
$2,694,130,000 is $74 million mtlse than
has been spent on the Amherst Campus
to date. Allowing the University to issue
add itiona l bonds in that amount would
solve SUNY's problems.

The Legislature sho uld also consider,
Wharton suggested, issuing non-morally
backed bonds for construction. Such
funding, he pointed out, would not be
und er the "moral obligation" cap ... Nonmoral bonds would be backed not by the
State but by SUNY,"theChancellorsaid.
noting that holders of such bonds would
command a second lien on the University's revenues - its tui tion and various
fees. Although the bonds do not carry the
more stable State backing, Wharton predicted investors woUld accept such an
issue without any great disturbance to the
financial markets.
he hearing panel, which was chaired
by Assemblyman Mark Alan Siegel
and also included area Assemblymen
William Hoyt, John B. Sheffer, Joseph
PiHittere, and William Parment, as well
as Stony Brook Assemblyman George
Hochbrueckner, was generally_ sympathetic to the educators' complamts concerning the cap and pledged to see k legislation to modify or eliminate the ceiling.
•·Needless to say, "Siegel said, "the rea son we came (to Buffalo) was to contemplate changing the cap legislation."
Hoyt and Sheffer were especially vocal
in their support for contin ued c&lt;;mstruc·
tion for Buffalo's two SUNY umts, noting the importance the State syste_m holds
in the area 's economy and presuge.
··we take pride in the Amherst Campus, ''Sheffer said, "not only for what it i.s
but what it can be." And Hoyt added that
he was a "champion of the Fine Arts Center," the eventual completion of the
North Campus, and a field house for Buf-

T

falo State.
SUNY Trustee Arnold Gardt!er also
condemned the cap, noting that the ceiling hinders planning on a State-wide
level. ..The cap stands in the way of State
University's fulfilling the educational
needs of New York,"he said. "(Due to the
cap)the Trustees mustdecide'which' project should be completed rather than
'when' all will be." The cap has. Gardner
said, ...imposed competing pulls and rival·
ries in the system which are verv
unhealthy."
_
ot only must the Trustees weigh each
campus's needs against another. Gardner
noted, but .. so long as we have an absolu te dollar limitation cap, the Board of
Trustees cannot even consider a variety
of projects" unless they plan to drop an
existing one.
Since the cap is causing .. hardships"'on
most SUNY units. Gardner warned cam·
puses against myopic thinking conoemmg system-wide requirements. "When
you talk about j ust Buffalo, there is a risk
of losing sight of other needed projects,"
the Buffalo attorney said. "Take the Fill&lt;
Arts Center and put that in juxtaposition
with the Downstate Medical Center project . Which is more important and to
whom?"
Hochbrueckner urged educators and
assemblymen to take a .. balanced view"
concerning SUNY , because the system
will .. equally succeed or not succeed"as a
whole rather. than as individual
campuses.
•
"The future of education in Buffalo
and Stony Brook," he said, "can only be
met by the lifting of the cap."

Newspaper closings largely behind us, Gannett head predicts
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
he days of the closing down of
major dty newspapers are
largely behind us, the head of the
nation's largest newspaper chain
to\d a group of area business leaders at
the UB Foundation's Executive Forum
meeting on Nov. 16.
)
Allen H. Neuharth, whose first job in
journalism was as a newspaper carrier, is
chairman and president of the Gannett
Company, which owns and operates 87
daily newspapers, including USA Today.
33 non--daily newspapers, seven television
stations and 13 radio stations, as well as
the largest outdoor advertising operation
in North America and various other
communication concerns.
Citing the closing of the Buffalo
Courier-Express as an example of economic conditions that have forced the
closings of many of the lower circulation
papers in two-newspaper cities, Neuharth
commented, .. Most of that is now behind
us."
These closings, while they " reOect a
particular situation in a particular time in
a particular city, do not reflect the trend
in the newpaper business nationally. .. he
added.
.. There is not a retrenchment, but a
revitalization in the newspaper business,
involving generally smaller papers in
smaller communities," be said.
Widespread publicity and general
lamentation each time a newspaper folds
is a reflection oftbe nature of journalism,
Neuharth remarked.
"We a~e more fasc:inated by deaths
than births, and by failures than succcaes," be laid, adding that these closings ~gel more ink than they deserve."
As evidence of his thesis that the newspaper busines5 is not failing, Neuharth
cited some statistics: during the 10-year
period between 1973and 1983,1SOnewspapers eitber folded or merged with
another paper; in that
period, 134
new daily newspapen were eotablisbe,cl.
The circulation of all 1740 daily newspapen in the country is around 62 million
...:11 day, while approximately 16S million Americans read a paper every day.
More than 20 million Americans read
two or\more papen a clay.
While the 62 million cireulation is
about what it wu 30 yean ago, Neuharth
laid, the demographics of newspaper
rcaden have improved. Newspaper readen a~e geoerUiy in hiper income and
ediiC&amp;tion levels. AmoD&amp; cofleae gradualel, approlcimately 40 per cent rely

of research that went into its design and
concept.
" We worked in secrecy for about a
year, do ing research and development to
deteABi&lt;!e · whether the market ina and
circulation were possible," he said ... In
1980, we announced publicly that we
going to do it. The response from
Wall Street and -newspaper critics was
that we were crazy. EveR though they said
that loudly and often, we went ahead.
"All through 1981,• he continued, "we
developed our editorial concepc. aDd produced prototypes. We did ~ive and
expensive research. By J.Jettmber .of
1981 , we recommeaded to our board a
fivo-year business pia. A year after that ,
we were on the presses."

SA Today is "designed by the readers," Neuharth said, based on all the
research done.
He ad ded, "But the ultimate of success
for any national newspaper rests on mort
than a thorough business plan. It is
rooted in the belief that people all across
the country are more interested in each
other and eager to work together.
.. The more mobile our societ y
becomes, tbe stronger that feeling of
togetherness has become," he continued .
.. We are hoping, as a news company, to
perform the service of helping people
lcnow and understand each other, with a
better understanding of tbe free press and to make a profit."
Before closina his remarks, Neuharth
said be would like to make an "editorial
comment"totbe business leaden present
in tbe audience.
"I wish all of us in business would
recogniu that we're all in tbe news and
information business whether we like it
or not," be remarked. "In this day and
age, CODSIImen believe they're entitled to
know what you're up to. This is a
transition in thinkina that has not yet
taken piKe with all people in business.
An unfortllll&amp;te but natural clash oeems
to exist between news and business
people.·
He added, ·we must IearD to triiSt ~

more heavily on television. Among tbe
general population, this trend is reversed .
orking on the premise that the news
and information business wiU
expand rather than contract, and taking
into account tbe Gannett chain's nationwide network of resources, wbicb were
beina undcrutilized, Gannett executives
decided to prodiiCC a national daily
newspaper, USA Todtly, which debuted
in September, 1982, with a largely qative reaction from its more traditional
compctiton.
~we ceuaht more than the usual
amo1101 of cynical reaction when Gannett
announcecl the birth of USA Todtly."
Neuharth commented, '"but no one ever
asked us why we did it. •
He cited as reasons the steady readership of newspapen; DeW satcUite tcc:hnology which allows the printina of idCDtical material in different shape around
the country, and Gannett'l reoourcca.

"We had printing presses in 36 llates

Neuharth laid. "Eiabty per cent of what

Today, USA Todtly bas a daily .net

works for over three years - will be officially on the hooks within six months and
that students will be able to formally

In anticipation of approval. Women•s

Hourani sees US presence in Lebanon as a
moral responsibility, deplores all terrorism
ince the recent bombing of 300
Marines in Beirul, Lebanon,
Americans have been plagued by
questions regarding the role of
the United States in the Middle East con·
Oict. Is there any hope of peace in the
Middle East? What part is ·the United
States expected to play in the struggle for
peace? Given the recent massacre, should
U.S. Marines even remain in Lebanon at
all?
Yes, according to Dr. George Hourani,
distinguished professor emerilus of phi·
losophy al UB. A renowned specialist in

S

Middle Eastern affairs, Hourani sees
U.S. presence in Lebanon as a moral
responsibility, and the terrorist bombings
as murderous attempts to intimidate
Americans. The United States, he sug·
gests, should provide impartial aid to
both Israel and Lebanon, and continue to
work to promote peace i'l. the Middle
East.
"The objective of the bombing was

clearly to get AmeriCa out of Lebanon,
and probably to stop peace talks," he
declared.
Although the exact identily of the
group responsible for the bombing is
unknown, Hourani speculated the terrorists were probably an independent group
with some connection with Iran's
Ayatollah Khomeini.
... It's hard to control these independent
groups, .. he said, .. bl!t we must not be
kicked out by such a group at all. I think
it's important to stay there in spite of the
tragedy. I think leaving would be a blow
to the U.S."

Sheffer offers a four-point plan for
reform of SUNY budget &amp; governa
EDITOR:
During each of the five years which I have
served on the Assembly Committee on Higher
Education, I have forwarded to you a report
and 11nalysis of the year's legislative action on
issues of interest to the State University
community.
Of necessity, these annual reporu have been
oriented primarily toward budgetary concerns. Indeed , although the numbers and facts
vary, a similar budgetary syndrome between
the Governor and Legislature has been evident during each of these past seve raJ years. It
is a syndrome which is all too familiar to you.
EnentiaUy, a disastrous Executive Budget is
proposed for SUNY, the LegiJ\ature eventually restores, and ln some cases improves,
most budget Jinb (oJten through overrides of
gubematoriaJ vetoes) and the Division of
Budget eventuaJiy winds up effectively
impounding the restoration package.
Although the Legislature bas, in my judgment. demonstrated a strong and enduring
commitment to State University thro~hout
this process. this annual budgetary syndrome
is. one which cries out for reform.
I will dispose of the report and analysis of
the 1983 Session by simply stating that it fit
snuaty into tbe above motel. ln this leutr, 1
would like to focus instead on breaking out of
that mold and lakin&amp; long.averdue lleps
toward fundamental reform of SUNY governance and budgetary structures.
The following proposals represent four
priorities which would, in my opinion. ao a
very ton&amp; way toward4eforming the cu.rrent
structuTCI that unneceuarily m-trict our State
University'l abmty to arow and improve. As a
representative of a SUNY campus and a
member of the Assembly Committees on
Hi&amp;her Education and Ways and Means, I am
committed to pushina the followina proposals
in Albany:
• I . The state should draft, adopt and publish a multi-year ftSCal plan for higher education. The lack of a deliberate, lona-term blueprint for our colleges and universities, is a
snm: handicap which promotes bapbaunl
yearly decisions On. the pan of botb ttate
&amp;OY&lt;miiiCDtand SUNY. Moreover, the extent
to wbich linancina of education has histori·
cally and rqmably becD tied to the political
calendar is documentable. A muhi-year propOAI would not only iqject areeter order and
stability into the proc:aa, but would pve intli·

benefits. I do not at all suggest that SUNY or
individual campuses and depanmenu should
be less accountable than at present for each
and every tax dollar spent. I do suggest that
the levels of bureaucracy and papeiwork currently required to meet the regulatory
demand s of the Education and Budget
Depanmenu are extraordinarily costly and
have little to do with competent education.• 3. I further believe that the issue of
impoundment. whetber express or de facto,
must be resolved if we are to enjoy a quality
system of public higher education in New Yoric
State. Again, the degree of independent governance of State University is a crilical
factor. Under recent cue precedent, the state
is without authority to impound euentially
local usistance funds, but no such precedent
exists for funding designated for the state's
own operations. As a legislator, few things
have aggravated me u much u the arrogance
of D.O.B. bureaucrats in effectively refusing
to spend funds which the Legislature hu
appropriated for our SUNY campuses. I am
fully commined to reform of this annual
syndrome.
• 4. Although 1 have at times been critical
of the state for eniphasizing "brick and mortar," ribbon-cutting priorities to the detriment
of proarammatic fundina. the future of
SUNY's capital plan is clearly an issue of very
great importance. This is particularly true in
li&amp;ht of the $3 billion statutory cap on issuance
of State Univenity construction bonds. There
are numerous capital projects needed to complete SUNY's academic master plan and.
moreover, numerous items of maintenance
and repair that must not be further nqlected.
I am pleased to repon thai a formal Public
Hearing was held in Western New York on
these issues this week . . ..
I believe very stronaly that deliberate action
toward the above priorities would result in a
subltantially beuer UK of the resources available to maintain and improve the quality of
SUNY"s educational, raearcb aDd public Kr·

Marines be symbols of peace - was
wrong... Hourani argued. ''They were sitting ducks. They should be allowed to
defend themselves."
Hourani, himself an eyewitness to similar destruction in the Middle East,
expressed disgust at the terrorism that
has ravaged the area in recent years.
..This whole tactic of blowing up buildings originated with Begin in 1947 when
he and his gang blew up a whole wing of
the King David Hotel, .. he said . ... saw a
whole part of it going down in pink dust. ..
Terrorism in any form, whether done
by a nation or one individual, Hourani
maintained, is .. barbarism. ••
.. 1 don't excuse it. It's barbarous," he
declared . "The fact that it's done by an
army doesn't excuse it at all ...
Although Hourani said that the "Lebanese people have been killed the most."
he is reluctant to blame any one party for
the destruction.

standing firm . Generally 1 don\ approve
of Reagan's foreign policy," he admitted,
"but here I do."
Hourani did point out, however, that if
the Marines are to remain in Lebanon,
further efforts must be made to insure
theirsafety. lfmore precautions had been
taken, he insinuated, the recent tragedy
might have been prevented.
"A lot.more could have been done, "the
professor said. "Why were there 300 men
sleeping in the same building? And the
guards bad no loaded rifles, and no
roadblocks - there's a lot more they can
do to stop this sort of thing. We shouldn\
take a fatalistic attitude and think that
nothing could be done."
Allowing the Marines to remain in
Lebanon will involve rethinking the part
they play in the Middle East peacekeeping effort. Hourani maintained that the
Marines can no longer be considered
merely symbols of security.

over TUBE as tantamount to totalitarianism:
.. I'm outraged that this student group has

questioned my right toconduclthe business at
hand . Am I being denied my right of free
speech . .. •
Having taken the criticism so personaJly.
Krakowiak missed the point. TUBE is an
organ of the UB Administration, which both
funds it and determines. without any input
from other sectors of the University, who will
run it. Our society has historically, and properly, feared government control of the media
- more than the private owners of any journal, newspaper or television statioll.,....g9¥emment hu a stake in what is written and said
about the world.
While Th~ Current :rcau for atudent control
may go too far - University-wide control
would be more appropriate - certainly to
question the le&amp;itimacy of yet another Administration house organ is not the .. media repression .. Krakowiak 's hyperbole would lead us to
believe.
Th~ Current S central focus was the same
democratic ideal drawn upon differently by
Krakowiak: who decides what will be presented on TUBE, and how?; who appoinu the
people who will decide? Free spe«h is a right
designed to guarantee the presentation of aU
poinu of view. With respect to a campus
communications medium funded by the taxpaycn of New York State, is it not legitimate
to ask what mechanisms Krakowiak has put
• in place to guarantee University-wide free
speech. and what is an extrapolation on it,

thinking that this has hardly been the case.
The most recen.t example of TUBE bias has
been the coverage of former Student Association President Bob Hayden's recent troubles.
TUBE's presc:ntatiom have served to legitimate the viewpoints of the Division of Stu- ·
dent Affain, of which TUBE is a subdivision,
despite serious questions about DSA and
other Administration interference raised by
the controversy. These include Hayden's allegations that the Division of Undergraduate
Education improperly prevented his registration, and the unilateral assertion by Dean of
Student Affairs Anthony Lorenteui that
Hayden wu not SA President, which wat
both publicly asserted and administratively

Gould warns of perils of 'information' society
slatemcnts were e sentially political and.
in sOme cases, irrelevant to the report a1
hand. Gould contended.
Gould said he i encoumged by a receDI
speec h made by Set=tary of Education
Terrel Bell. in which Ihe secretarx.spoke
out against career education as- a)oal.
Accoroing to Gould. -Bell has inslituted a
series of national forums on the issue-.

By ANN WHITCHER
igher Cducation faces special
challenges in today's perilous
"information society," former
SUNY Chancellor Samuel B.
Gould, who steered the sprawling system
in the late 1960s and early 1970s. said
ovember 18.
Gould, in Buffalo to address the third
higher education seminar sponsored by
the Depanment of Educational Organization, Administration a.nd Policy, also
said University arts aod sciences faculty
must articula'te more aggressively the
wonh•of their discipliqes.
Quoting Th~ N~w Yorku's review of
David Burnham ·s recent book, Th~ Riu
ofth~ Compur.r Stat~. GQuld said Burnbam " presents a depressing list of public
and private organizations and agencies.
the National Crime and Information
Center, the Office of Technological
-Assessment, the National Security
Agency, the Internal Revenue System.
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, that now collect and collate,
by computer, pieces of information,
especially derogatory information, and
much of it that is false, about the lives and
activities of citizens.
· .. Computerized credit companies sell
unverified credit information to whoever
will pay for it including the C. I.A. and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
government's huge and little known
National Security Agency collects ... so
much raw data that it sometimes needs to
destroy tens of thousands of pounds of
excess secret paper every day .... Tetephone companies can learn virtually as
much as they want to about their subscribers' calls. and so on. Even cable television companies collect and store data
about theircpntac:tsand theiroubtcriben
aod on occuion make tbeoe data available to municipal aovernments."
Gould added, "We are •-re that
material relating to financial credit, tax
retuma, health histories, local, state and
federaldouien, including F.B.I. ftla,are
regularly kept up to date. The technolOCY
with which to do the gathering and storage oftbeoe materials is readily available.
11 is a sudden ohock to some of uo, bowever, to realize: that this process iJ well on
the way to destroying what we al-ys
believed was an inviolate right to privacy.
We have not yet arrived at Orwell's /984,
but • aood deal of the machinery is in
place," he concluded .

H

ould criticized the recent Reapn
Ad ministration directive which "will
have ao even areater effect on the free
exchange of information." Explaining
the c.ontroversi.al meaaure, the vi.sitina
speaker said "it requires people clooe: to
sensitive classified intclliaenc:e information, to submit their written works.
including speeches, letters aod works of
fiction. to a aovernment reviewer, before
it is published. This would include about
125,000 federal employees aod contraotors, almost two aod 1/ 2 million IOvernmentemployees, aod one and 1/ 2 million
contractors with acceu to classified
information. (who) must sian plcclp
promising not 10 disclose such informacion without permission. Aaencics are
required to establish policies that will
require employees being investlpted for
such disclosure, to submit to lie detector
lests.
..The ramifications of this measure are
numerous and sobering. For eumplo, 90
per cent of the busi....,.. who are
members of the Natiooal Academy of
Scienca which advises the 1ovemment

aim beyond such issues as teacher
merit poy and length of school day. bolh
discu sed in"A Nation at Ris k." Quoting
the com mission ' report, the ex- UNY
chancellor said th t "at the hean of the
ideal society is the commilment to values
and to a system of educa tion that affords
all members the opportunity to stretch
lheir minds to full capacity from early
childhood through adulthood, learning
more as the world itself changes. uch a
society has as a foundation that education is important not only becau~e of
what it contributes to one's career. but
also because of the value it adds to the
general qua lil y of one's life. "
Despite its considerable shortcomings.
Ihe U.S. educational S)'stem has notable
slrenglh • he added . For one th ing. "the
opportunity to mO\'e upward is taken for
granted here in con1rast to other co untries. " He added that "Americans ca n
have whatever or1 of tducation 1hey
demand and are w111ing 10 pay for. " Still,
a recent poll of national attitudes toward
higher education revealed that a lniJOrit v

-SAMUEL B. GOULD

Gould described leu ominous. but still
disheartening, signposts of the information BJe. There lsI he spectre of ...cvcryone
knowmg more about everyone else," a
state of affairs he said encompuses both
...voyeuristic" TV soaps and JJtcoms, and
talk shows. "where real and would-be
celebrities indulae in eao trips that sometimes reveal what they would be better
advised to kee~ to themselves."
On a more stgnificanl levt:l, the information society has not resulted in effective communication of U.S. foreian pol·
icy, be insisted . "'Why are so many of us,
younaand old, still confused after all the
speeches and news conferences .... If we
are indeed livina in a society where
information and communication are the
watchwords. then what sort of answen
are we getting to our questions about
national and international policy7"
dded Gould, also former president
of the U nive.rsity of California at
Santa Barbara and ex-president of the
Educational Broadcastina Corporation:
... We are the preeminent nation. a

UB day care center could soon become a reality, Long reports
\

A

By MARY KUNZ

nUB' estimated
4,200 st ud ents at
have children, and, since
March of 1983. there has been

a growing campus-wide effort
to establish a quaJity child care center
here. An increasing number of married
siUdents and non-traditional s tudents at
tbe University have made the question of
child care into an important issue.
Thanks to campus-wide support, it now
seems that a campus child care center
could soon become a reality. A benefit

party for a center is planned December 9
at Talbert Bullpen.
Heading the child care movement is
Jim Long, an undergraduate management major. A former would-be engineer, Long changed his major in the winter of his junior year. His non-traditional
status. he hopes, will give hi m, a new perspective on tbe day care movement.
.. Being a non-t raditional stud ent , I can
identify with the needs of single parents

and older students," Long explained.
He hopes the effort required for founding the child care center will bring
together students of many different ages

budgets. s tate social services guide lines.
a nd a financially self-sufficient proposal.
This professiona l method. he hopes, will
bring about a perma nent, self "'J.porting
UB chi ld care center, beginni ng next

September.
he University has appropriated space
on the Main Street Campus, in
Butler Annex A, for the center. Long
explained that the .Main Street Campus
fi t the needs better than Amherst ,
because of Main Street's convenience to
prospective patrons of the center.
"The major reason we chose the site
was for the benefit of stud ents and lowerpaid st'!.ff members who are within walking di stance of th at campus, •• he said . .. It•s
a lo t easier for them to bring their kids.

T

There are about 5,000-6,000 students
who Hvewithin walking distance of Main
Street. The majority of those who have
kids live there."
·

The space allotted for the child care
center a mounts to 6.200 square feet.
Long said the center will be able to

accommodate from 60 to 70 children per
hour.

"We plan on 28 children per hour

and backgrounds.

initially, from 7:30to 5, and an additional

.. We're accomplishing something that
no one thought we could," he observed.

20 per hour at night," he noted. "As

"I'm hoping this could be the basis of
further ties betWeen different groups."
Since a fiZZled-out attempt in the early
70s to establish a permanent child care

base this knowledge on the experience of

center at U 8, there have been a number of
additlonaltries. but none has succeeded.

Part of the problem facing the present
attempt, Long pointed out, lay in gaining
credibitity with the members of the University administmtion. To gain the
approval

of these authorities, Long

approached administrators with det ai led

and that's it. Materials and o ther things
have to come from tuition."
ees for chi ld care at the center. Long
said, will be assessed "on a sliding
scale, depending on the financial sit uatio n of the parent. Provisions will be
made for those who can't afford quality
child care, " he noted.
"'Quality" is the key word to describe
the kind of UB child care center for which
Long is s triving. He plans the center to be

.

adequately staffed with professionals and
with University workooStudy students.

Children on campus, he hopes, besides

Because the center must be able to

providing some students with needed
experience in child care and develop-

for every child attending. However, Long
stressed th at cost will not be a deterrent to
anyone needing the center.

"It has to be self-support ing," Long
emphasized ...The University is able to
give us space, maintenance, a nd utilities,

and campus labor unions (CSEA and
UU P) are donating between $20,000 and
$40.000. Other campus organizations
who worked for the project , Long stated ,

were UUAB, CAC. SA, BSU, the InterGreek Co unci l, Campus Ministries. the
Alternative News Collective, The Current, the Faculty Senate, and the Profes-

T o raise further funds for the center,

the Campus Child Care Benefit
Party will be held December 9 in Talbert
Bullpen, from 8.p.m. to I a.m. with three
live bands and othe music by WR U B.
Tickets are S2; $2.50 at the door.

"The l..cbancse people arc at fault for
not being able to organize their country,"
he said. "I think the l..cbancse have
learned their lesson- it"s not good to call
in foreign forces. h 's no better now than it
ever was.''
Lebanon's major goal, Hourani
pointed out, is to remove foreign forces
from within its borders.
"The Lebanese want to have a sovereign Lebanon," the professor explained.
"They're fed up with the Palestinians,
Syrians, and Israelis. They arc agreed on
one thing. They want all foreigners out,
aside from the Americans, British.

Syrian forces in l..cbanon pose a
problem.

are there because the Syrians are there. 1

said.
Hourani also believes the United
States to be contributing to the struggle:
through its massive aid to Israel.
"I blame the U.S . somewhat. for aiding
Israel the way they bave." he remarked.
"It's irresponsible."
Israel. charged Hourani, pursues a pol·
icy of aggression detrimental to hopes for
peace in the Middle East..
"I think if Israel would settle down and
leave the Palestinians alone, everything
would be OK, "he theorir.ed. "There are a

who just want to go back to their homes ...

and l..cbanon.

Hourani emphasized that his criticism
is directed against the ISTaeli government.
and not the Israeli people: "It's again tan

of the problem. Hourani noted, is
that American people are ignorant of

Arab countries. Supporters of luael are

opinion toward the Israeli sid• of the
struggle, he contended. The U.S •
government, he maintains. should not

"Fundamentalist Christians 5upport

" It's not a very big hope at prescnt,"he

From page 12

• More evaporation of ocean waters as
they become wanner, bringing more rain
globally.
• Wetter wealher along the U.S. Wes1
Coast.
Reitan observed that the Western New·
York area will probably become warmer,
adding that a computer model would be
needed "'to determine the rain distribution."
While some parts of the world might
benefit and others might suffer, Reitan
believes the time has come for society to
take the problem seriously and " plan for
thefuture with as little pain as possible."
In explaining his contention that
"nobody knows for sure .. what the future
changes might be, physicist Gayley
advised that if the problem was co nfined
solely to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, "we could make estimates of global temperature changes. " Bat as for various regions in the we-rid, he added, the
ultimate results are .. ve ry, ve ry

uncertain."
He believes, however, that it would be
a ...good idea .. to stan doing some planning to meet the possible threat to coastal
cities.
Both Reitan and Gayley are agreed
that the time has come to abandon use of
fossil fuels as a primary energy source
and switch to a source or sources that
emit no carbon dioxide. Enter nuclear
and solar energy.
But considering the immediacy of the
problem, both pointed out it would take a
... long time"to develop ei ther system to an
ultimate level of total need, let alone the
political and economic implications.
uestions posed incl ude: Is the world
ready to overlook the ever-present
... nuclear scare?" Would distributive solar
energy be cost-effective and ad.equate to
serve all humankind?
But despite such all-encompassing
questions, Reitan proposed that the U.S.
government, for its part, 'should :
• Promote devel opment of distributive
solar energy, with collection sites se nd ing
electricity t.o other areas over a network
of power lines.

• Provide incentives for individual
passive and active solar systems, and
support industry in the production of
solar systems.
• Set up programs to insure thclt
enough food is produced to feed the population in years to come.
• Upgrade our reforestation programs.
• Put a lid on the burning of fossil fuels
to "stretch" the dwindling supply, needed
in the production of plastic used in the
manufacture of many items, including
building supplies and medications.
As a starting point, Reitan suggested
that all government buildings be made
dependent on solar energy.
Does Reitan think we can alleviate the
problems that lie ahead?
"It all depends." he answered cryptically, ··on how selfish you want to be ...
ven though "humanity is adjusted to
certain climatic conditions and living
patterns are attuned to certain climates,"
he noted, .. w~ do have an obligat ion to

Gayley, the physicist. suggested that
melting of the ice caps at the North and
South Poles would have little effect on
causing ocean levels to rise as a threat to
coastal cities, contendin$ that the water
runoff would simply dtsplace the ice.
More of a threat, he added, would be the
melting of ice on masses of land , such as
Iceland and Greenland.
Reitan pointed out that scientists have
been intensively studying the .. greenhouse effect" for the past JO or more
years. However, the recent EPA repon
was the first official government pronouncement on the pOssible troubles that
lie ahead.
Actually, Reitan observed, "'we were

Colleges talilltg strong hand in own future
By WENDY CONLIN
he Colleges are talting a strong
hand in their own futures by
actively proposing plans for
their dispersion throughout the
UniVersity. Under their own proposal
each of the seven colleges would report to
different deans within the University
rather than to a dean or director of the
colleges as in the past.
"We (the Colleges) wouldn' do it
(disperse) if we weren' pushed. But since
we've been pushed, we've organized to do
it so that we will reap the most benefit
possible,~ said Director of the Colleges
Peter Gold in an informational meeting
held Monday night to garner input for
the proposal from interested students and
faculty.
A Task Force convened by Vice
President for Academic Affairs Robert
Rossberg recommended the dispersion
last spring as?a solution to high overhead
costs, and as a logical response to what
they determined to be the increasingly
traditional tendencies of the Colleges.
Under the tentative proposal being
drafted by tbe Colleges not only would
the office of director or dean of the
Colleges be abolished, but the budget for
the Colleges would be divided equally
among the seven units, rather than
according Ill need.
Specific recommendations for the
individual Colleges were made clear by
Gold. Under the tentative plan, Black
Mountain College (BMC) would be renamed the Black Mountain II program
and would report to the dean of Arts and
Letters as a part of that faculty. Its role
would be the "Arts and Leners outpost in
Ellicott," coordinating and simplifying
student use of the Katharine Cornell
Theater (KC1) as well as developing and
providing minon in the arts. l1&gt;e
Colleaes recommend that the KCT be
assigned as the llfOUp 's performance area
l~i&lt;:~t ~a:~":!i'n~l- space occupied in

T

Clifford Furnas College (CFC) would

re.t ain its name and be responsible to the
of Student Affairs, a suggestion
made in the original Task Force
recommendations and agreed upon by
the Board of Fellows and staff of CFC.
The Board of Fellows would be enlarged
under the direction of the dean of
Undergraduate Education. The major
mission of the group would be the
enhancement of environment and life in
Ellicott. malting the retention of
residential space in the complex

On Thursday, November 17,
the Political Science Oub, the
Student Association of the State

The Forum began with sho rt

audience members were invited to ask
questions and voice tbelr own concerns.
The evening was moderated by Prof.

a divenity of lrJUments and considerations which provided a well rounded view
of the biU and related illua. Robert

he term ~gn:cnbouse effect" refers to
the carbon-dioxide buildup in the
atmosphere as it allows heat from the sun
to warm the earth but then traps the heat,

Fred M. Snell. professor of biophysical

dentialo, diocloscd that research information at EPA's disposal included "dynamic
climate modeling" conducted by himself
and associates at UB.
Snell said he views the worldwide
situation as .. critical at the present time"
in that· the carbon dioxide buildup
already has occurred to set the ..greenhouse effect •• in motion. The only saving
factor, he suggested, is the "time lag"
involved in reaching the maximum effect.
To more clearly emphasize his concern, Snell asserted that only the proliferation of war-ready nuclear weapons and
bombs poses a more catastrophic
potential.

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

By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
KF odern high-rise buildings in
/B earthquake-prone areas of
I
■ California have been con.X. T JB^ structed according to build­
ing codes designed to minimir.c structural
damage and human casualties. These
buildings have already withstood moder­
ate shaking caused by the shifting of the
plates along the San Andreas fault.
But will they survive severe shaking in
a quake of. for example, magnitude 7
whose epicenter is near or below a major
city? That, according to the man consi­
dered the “father of earthquake engineer­
ing," remains to be seen.
Dr. George W. Housner. who has been
active in earthquake engineering research
for many years, presented the keynote
address at dedication ceremonies for
UB'k new Sl.S million earthquake simu­
lator last Thursday. Housed in the
Engineering-West building, the simula­
tor will be a major training and research
tool. It is one of only five seismic simula­
tors in the LI.S.. and the only one located
tn the northeastern part of the country.
Comparable to the system at the
Kajima Institute of Construction Tech­
nology in Japan, which is the most
advanced system in the world today, the
' UB earthquake simulator is the most ver­
satile on the North American continent.

director of the National Science Founda­
tion’s Division of Civil and Environmen­
tal Engineering who predicted that the
UB facility will be actively supported by
NSF funding.
“We only put our money where we
think well get a return for the taxpayer.**
he commented. “This is an important
addition to other seismic research facili­
ties in the country, and is the most
modem."
NSF has provided funding to establish
the facility, although the bulk of the
funds for its construction were provided
by the State. Dean of Engineering George
C. Lee has recently received a S140.000
NSF grant for 'his research project in
earthquake engineering.
The Earthquake Engincenng Facility
is headed by Professor of Civil Engineer­
ing Robert L. Ketter.
In his remarks at the dedication
ceremony. UB President Steven B. Sam­
ple referr^ to the “yean of planning"
that had preceded development of the
new facility, which he called “magnilicent." Sample also noted th«. in addition
to teaching and research, the seismic sim­
ulator will be used for testing of industrial
devices.
The primary feature of the seismic
simulator is its shaking table, a 12' x 12'
ferrocemem slab weighing 16.500 pounds
which, when fully operational, can simu­
late five different types of earth motions.
The table is moved by hydraulic actuaton driven by computer wA can support
structures or models that weigh up to 20
tons.
A highlight of the dedication ceremo­
nies was the demonstration of the labk
by Sherwood Prawel. associate professor
of civil engineering. Ennncering students
bad constructed a 12-foot'hi|n demon­
stration model out of 4-inch pipe Tittings.
As the hum of the simulator’s driving
machinery filled the large hall that bouses
it. the tabk was put through its motions,
lifting the model up and down, and then
sideways. Prawel also demonstrated how
different types of shaking produced dif­
ferent motions in the model. At one fre­

fesSbr of Engineering. Emeritus, at the
California Institute of Technology,
Housner remarked that no present build­
ing code or guidelines can prevent a
building from being badly damaged in an
earthquake.
Engineers work by the concept of
“acceptabk damage." he said.
**Il b not feasibk to design structures to
resist the strongest shaking possible dur­
ing an earthquake." he explained. "From
a practical point of view, it b advtsabk to
accept the fact that damage will occur in ‘
the event of a strong earthquake occur­
ring under a city and use the money saved
to repair the damage."
In California, he added, "Our objective
b to accept damage so long as life and
limb are not eoda^red."
Housner presented an overview of the
history of earthquakes and bow they have
caused tragedy for humans.

"CtvilUalion has been plagued by
earthquakes since recorded history," he
remarked. Even though hutorians since
the time of the ancient Greeks and
Romans have described the types and
effects of earthquakes (the Roman scho­
lar Pliny called them "crimes of nature"),
no roeatu of coping with the devastating
effccu of earthquakes were developed
until recently.
“Our technical devetopment hid not
reached a point to which are could grappk with and confront the proMem.**
Housner said. “It b only within the last 30
to 40 years that we have definitely made
important progress in solving the
problem."
Referriim to engineers as “tebmic
policemen''^ who must invtMigalc the
’‘crimes** of earthquakes. Housaer
pointed out that engineers must build

structures in anticipation of future earth­
quakes, even though they don’t know
when or where they will occur, or how
strong they will be.
¥7 ven the recording of earthquakes is
Hj difficult, he noted, since “we are not
often successful in having recording
instrumentsin the right place at the right
time."
That is where seismic facilities such as
the one at UB wiU play a role, he added;
“We must use facilities such as this to
. make studies of what will happen to
structures to use for future guidance."
Housner compared the risk of earth­
quakes on the east and west coasts of the'
U.S. While California has experienced
very strong earthquakes, the expectation
still is that a very strong one will not
occur right underneath a major city, he
said, adding that scientists know very
well that the California quakes are caused
by the shifting of two major plates.
“In the eastern United Stales, you have
the same problem but in an exaggerated
form,” he commented. “The frequency of
earthquakes is much smaller, but you
must give particular attention to the pos­
sibility of a big earthquake occurring
near one of the major cities."
Scientists have not determined the
exact causes of earthq uakes in the east, he
added.
Four major earthquakes have occurred
east of the Rockies during modem times.
Housner noted. “This alerts us to say that
it is not impossible that sizable quakes
might occifl- again. Some thought must
be given to what would happen if they
did."
There are various maps which purport
to predict the level of damage that would

be caused in various areas of the country
in the event of an earthquake. Housner
noted, but these “must be taken with a
grain of salt." There is much disagree­
ment ambng scientists, and political fac­
tors often enter into damage designations.
“When referring to such maps, keep in

■17 ngineers have for too long lived in a
Hj “static" world, Housner commented.
Engineering schools in the past devoted
little if any lime to structural dynamics;
engineers were trained to consider only
the effects of stationary weight on struc­
tures, and not moving forces such as
wind, shock blasts, ground motions or

moving vehicles.
“It is clear there have been mistakes
made in the past by reasoning according
to static examples and not on dynamic
ones." Housner said.
The new UB research center will in the
coming years help to determine to what
extent engineers should examine and
take into account these dynamic forces
when setting up future building codes.
Housner concluded.

Lack of mobility frustrates generally happy professionals
By ANN WHITCHER

T

hough professional stagers at
UB are generally happy with
■ ■ their Jobs,
jobs, many are frustrated
with the seeming lack of upward
mobility, peiiiaps inherent in the
University structure, a recent study
suggests.
The stud^ was conducted by Dr.
Robert Rice of the Psychology
Department and psychology Ph.D.
candidate Michael R. Frone, at the
instigation of the Professional Suff
Senate, which wanted a well-done
“scientific" study in order to better plan
professional development programs.
Liaison officer with the psychology team
was Linda Perkins, a member of the PSS’
professional development committee.
The study, PSS chair Neil M. Coen
emphasized, was undertaken solelv to
“discharge constitutional responsibili­
ties" to help PSS members perform their
jobs more effectively. The study was also
undertaken for “humaniurian" reasons,
a group of PSS representatives, who also
included Barbara Evans, Marilou Healey
and Pat Colvard, told the Reporter
during a recent interview. That is, there
was concern for overall worker health
and well-being.
The study centered on a detailed
questionnaire sent to 409 professional
staffers. A second questionnaire, mailed

only for purposes of a separate
psychological study on “the interplay
between work and family roles” and not
reviewed here, was sent to the balance of
the 817 professional staff. Of 409 forms
mailed, 154 responses were received,
rather a low response rate, but considered
“fairly typical” for a mail questionnaire
survey by the study authors. Additional
follow-up measures (phone calls and the
like) were taken. Respondents were
assured from the onset of anonymity.
The Questionnaire included both an
initial 49 questions on job satisfaction,
retraining needs, promotion, career
planning, intentions to leave, etc. This
was followed by nine demographic
questions, and a fmal section consisting
of three “open-ended” questions,
designed to assess what respondents liked
best about their jobs, what one or two
changes would enhance the quality of
respondents' work lives, and what
Umversity policies/procedures needed to
be chang^.
Tp he “open-ended" questions may
X invite a somewhat more negative
response, several PSS officials said. So
responses in this area must be weighed
accordingly, they contended. The study
used national norms in the first series of
(questions. The rather atypical profes­
sional staff work force is being compared
to workers in all fields in the U.S.,

somewhat an unfair comparison, the PSS
group avowed.
The study found that most profess
sional suffers here like their jobs for
reasons that are largely “intrinsic." That
is, they enjoy the educational setting,
enjoy helping studenu, and uke heait m
the flexibility present in many profes­
sional staff positions.
However, the study continues,
respondents also sec some serious
organizational problems, “conditions
extrinsic to their immediate work duties. “
The majority of respondenu were sutefunded and held either a term (32.3 per
cent) or permanent (41.7 per cent)
appointment. Almost 94 per cent of
respondents were from PR leveb one,
two and three. The mean age of
respondents was 40.75, and the average
length of service was 9.3 years.
Asked whether or not their pay was
good. 36.9 per cent said this was either
“very true" or “somewhat true;" while
43.1 per cent said it was either “not too
true"or"not at all true."On job security;
With respect to pay, respondents didn't
deviate much in the level of satisfaction
when compared to an esublished
national norm. “However, if one
examines job security, it can be seen that
the professional staff at UB feel
subauntially less secure than their
'average' American counterpart." Yet
PSS officials interviewed say this result
should be weighed against the inherent
difficuhy of b^ compared with such
widely varying groups of workers, and
the uniqueness of the university setting.
Though some respondenu pointed to
problems with supervisois. almost 80 per
cent said their supervisors were noUMy
supportive and conscious of a need for
improved re-training programs. 78 per
cent said there is a need for more re­
training programs during after-work
hours, especially in computers, “future
pinnmng,'' and “power/negotiating
skills."
Uke others at UB. professional staffers
responding to the survey pointed to a
need for more suff, increased research
funding, improved physical facilities and
kss Albany-based oemraUzatiaA. They
also urged more effective communication
of University issues. Other suggestions

(drawn from the “open-ended" questions
of part three of the survey) included
monitoring of supervisors, upgrading
safety standards, increased opportunities
for promotion, sabbaticals for NTP’s,
and removal of restrictions on profes­
sional suff for earning extra income.
(PSS officials explained that a
professional suff member teaching a
course during the day as an adjunct
faculty member, cannot be paid for that
time, even if the staffer were to take the
teaching time as vacation leave.)
nSS principals emphasized repeatedly
Jl that the study results are most
attribuuble, in their view, to institutional
factors beyond their control, and to
issues which are the sole province of the
collective bargaining agent. United
University Professions, with which the
PSS has "no formal connection." The
somewhat negative fmding of a higherthan-national average of people who
wish to find new jobs; must also be
analyzed carefuUy. the PSS offidaU
suted. The lack of career opportunities is
simply an institutional reality, they
indicated to this reporter. Unfortunately,
the issue affecu a still youngish group of
ambitious individuals. "These resultt
^uM be read in context." said former
PSS chair Marilou HedCy. “We tend to
be a very ambitious group."
The study, they ad^, probably shows
the after-effecu of last Marche near
retrenchments of many professional staff
employees. Study resulu may therefore
be colored, th^ suggested, by that
rituation, which Goen said had "resulted
in very real human pain." The study
indicated that professional staff members
surveyed found the near-retrenchments
"a fiasco."
The questionnaire nras mailed in May
and the full study was completed in
August, said Frone. Duration of the
project was from September. 1982.
through this past July, be adds. "As a
diagnostic tool, it (the study) served itt
purpose well," be concluded.
The PSS has instituted an ad hoc
group to review study results, as an
ind^tor of future preyamming for Hs
members.

physiology, we have come to know a
great deal about the functioni^ of the
human body durii^ physical activity, and
it is perhaps in this aspect of our knowl­
edge that physical education will find iu
most common ground in the health
sciences."
The merger of UBY departments
physical education and physical therapy
represents the culmination of change in
the discipline traditionally linked to "gym
teachers."
UB graduated its first PE major in
1938. During the next three decat^
when the demand for physical education
teachers was high. UB supplied the learn­
ing required of men and women who
wanted to pursue their careers in ekmentary and high school gymnasiums. As the
demand diminished, however, UB
created other choices for its PE students.
They were given the opportunity to
choose between a teacher certification
option and a non-certification option,
which prepared them for agency ntnesa
and recreational programming, sports
administration, sports communication
and sports medicine.
The direction of UBY Department of
Physical Education was inhuenced by
two important dates; 1962, when the
University of Buffalo joined the State
education system and the decision was
made to convert the existing campus into
a health sciences center, and 1976, when
physical education was moved into the
School of Health Related Profeuions,
along with occupational therapy, physi­
cal therapy, medical technology and
health education profcMions.
These alliances, trends within the dis­
cipline and society's fascination with
physical fitness, all affected the future of
the department.
The future was foreshadowed by both
students and professors.
Richard Dwhowtu, who obtained his
bachelorY and master's degrees in physi­
cal education from UB in the *60*.
received his B S. in physical therapy in
1983. The father of four teaches physical
education at Iroquois High School.
Terry Whkldon. who ako bolds a B.S.
and M.S. in physical educatioo, was
graduated with D^howitz with the tame
degree. He has been hired to work with
Profeuor Gil Etheridge.

Physical Education,
Physical Therapy
form new unit
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
^ B’s departments of physical
I education and physical therapy
J have been merg^ and a Department of Physical Therapy
and Exercise Science has been created.
The new department will administer
bachelor of science programs in physical
education and physical therapy, a master
of science program in movement science
with concentrations in athletic iraining/injury
rehabilitation,
cardiac
health/rehabilitation, gerontology and
biomechanics, and a doctor of education
program in physical education.
“This acuon," said Harry A. Sulu,
D.D.S., dean of the School of Health
Related Professions, which housed both
departments, “is intended to strengthen
graduate education by emphasizing
research in the roov^rp^t sciences and in
the clinical effectiveness of various thera&gt;
peutic modalities.**
The merger will not alter the current
undergraduate curriculum for physical
. education or physical therapy.
“This is a futuristic plan,** Sultz said,
“because of the tremendous interest in
Hlness and sports medicine and the
emphasis on biomechanics, as it relates to
exercise and health."
He added that both faculties voted
unanimously to join the departments
administratively. Together, they deve­
loped the criteria for the search commit­
tee lb choose the new chair of the new
department.
They also decided. Sultz said, to
intersperse their offices so they aren't
divid^ geographically. There are seven
full-time physical education faculty aiKl
eight full-time physical therapy facuhy.
They are now all located in Stockton
Kimball Hall or Annex B at Main Street.
Clark Hall will house only the physical
education facilities.
The merger will cause no faculty lines
to be eliminated or added. Sulu said. '
Carolyn E. Thomas. Ph.D.. who was
chair of the physical education depart­
ment. has been selected as acting chair of
the interim administration. She will also
serve as director of the physical education
program. Dale R. Fish. Ph.D., is director
of t&amp; physical therapy program; Carlton
R. Meyers, Ed.D.. director of graduate
studies.
Jane S. Mathews, who was chair of the
physical therapy department, left Buffalo
in mid-summer to accept a five-year
apporntmem
ntment as chair of the Department

O uhz credited Mathews and Thomas
^whb conceiving the merger. Two
respected consoltaatt promoted the idea.
Dr. Gary L. Soderherg. associate profes­
sor and associaie director of physical
therapy at the University of Iowa Oakdak Campus, and Dr. Barney LeVeau.
associate profenor and coordinator of
graduau education in physical therapy at
the University of North Carobna at
Chapel Hill, recommended the mercer.
Soderherg wrote, *niie ability &lt;m the

the dean said, creates a way to share not
only knowledge, but alM dwindling
resources.
If all goes well, the chair of UB*s
Department of Physical Therapy and
Exercise Science could be appointed
toon after January I. 1984. An IImember search committee is looking for
an administrator of higher education
who is conversant and empathetic in
both areas. The appointee will have to
have a doctorate and be eligible for
tenure and graduate faculty status.
Sulu said that the reorganization of
the two departmenu into one that 'will
prepare entry-level professionals and
educate researchers is in line with
President Steven B. Sample's efforts to
make UB a major research university.
For Sultz, among others, the merger
was a way to promote research. Even
though the aUkd health occupations have
become the fastest growing and most
marketabk of all the health disciplines,
he said, the aggregation of professional
entities known as allied health continues
to suffer from a lack of identificatioa and
af^reciation by both the lay public and
other health professionals. One reason
for this, the dean said, is the lack of
research to validate claims for the effec­
tiveness of allied beahb therapies and
For Mathews, among others, the
merger was a way to develop her departmentY graduate program.

the University of Wisconsin at Madison,

Does freedom of speech apply only to students?
EDITOR:
U ecemly, The Current, a student periodiXV cal, featured an article on TUBE citing its
development, its management, and. finally,
calling for “student control.“ I’m ouirag^
that this student group has questioned my
right to conduct the business at hand. Am I
being denied my right of free speech — the
fundamental principle we all cherish. I refuse
to respond to The Current s innuendo fed by
factual inaccuracies; however, I want the
community to understand why we have TUBE
and its role in Student Information Services.
A national trend in the deliveiy of informa­
tion to students is to cluster orientation pro­
grams, taped telephone information services
(DIAL), and information centers under the
management of one office — a Student
Information Service Office. In June of 1982.
Orientation was offered the Amherst Campus
cable television system. We recognized it as an
additional component more appropriate than
an information center to the size and expanse
of this University.
As a professional. 1 explore and employ
new techniques to improve the services I man­
age. Words on a TV screen (TUBE) are tiring
to watch. Hence, when Rockworld proffered
programming, we accepted, not out of love for
music video, but to develop interest in TUBE.
Campus Scan, a TV News program, is another
attempt to gain a wider audience for TUBE,
by offering students an additional perspective
on campus events.
1 hope the tone of 77ie Current article
doesn't signal a new era of media repression.
Do we as a cpmmunily believe that only stu­
dent controlled press have the right to inform
students? Does The Current understand the
basic principles of an .academic institution?

The Anti-Rape Task Force has several

successful and productive with its prevention,

No one at UB
considered SAED move
EDITOR:
'T' he News carried several articles recently
X concerning discussions of the possibility
of re-locating the School of Architecture and
Environmental Design ofihe State University
of New York at Buffalo to the former CourierExpress building in downtown Buffalo.
Unfortunately these articles are misleading
because such a move has never been consi­
dered. The truth is that only one person from
any t&gt;f the local media has even bothered to
contact this office to ascertain the facts of the
matter and he was told that wc are not con­
templating a move to downtown.
While in a society built upon freedom of
expression anyone is entitled to express an
opinion or make a suggestion, the public
needs to know that neither the full-time
faculty of this School, nor this office, nor any
of the vice presidenu with jurisdiction over
such d^isions, are now considering — nbr
have they ever considered — proposals to
move this School off-caropus.

Kissinger protest backed
as way to oppose ‘war plans*
TO OVR COLLEAGUES:
Tp rom all indications, the Reagan Admini*
station's preparations for Yvar in Nicara­
gua are reaching a climax. The invasion of

Grenada has begun to pave the way for public
acceptance of preemptive military strikes as a
solution to presumed international problems.
The failure of American policy in El Salvador
furthers the desire for a quick and dramatic
^ resolution to the Central American crisis.
But, it is not for the United Sutes to choose
the form of society and government of the
nations in this hemisphere. Furthermore, hav­
ing given Somoza four decades of support, it
is difficult to see why the American govern­
ment cannot give the Sandinistas longer than
four years, without outside threats.
Given the declared intention of the Reagan
Administration to replace the Saodiiusta
government with one more to its liking, it is
evident that discussions have been going on to
Ibis end for some time. This past Friday,
November 11. the New York Times reported
that at a milling of the miliury chiefs of four
Central American slates in late October (a
meeting prompted by the U.S. government),
plant bad been formulated for the “pacifica­
tion of Nicaragiui“ which included, in case of
extreme crisis, “the direct participution by the
U.S., with all its resources."
Henry Kissinger was influential in the over­
throw of the slemocratically elected Allende
government of Chile, a decade ago, and this
may have recommended him to the Reagan
Administration when they chose Kissinger to
head the new Commission on Central Amer­
ica. We prefer, nonetheless, to believe that
American policy can still be influenced by
public opinion in this country.
We welcome the opportunity — perhaps
our last before the outbreak of hostilities
between our government and Nicaragua — to
make known our opposition to American mil­
itarism in Central America, and to any plans
for the overthrow of the government in Nica­
ragua. We urge our colleagues to join with us,
Thursday, No vember 17, in a rally at 6 p.m.at
the Kiva Room, Baldy Hall. Amherst campus
of U B, from which we shall go to a demonstra­
tion where Henry Kissinger will be addressing
a fundraising dinner for the Political Action
Committee of Congressman Jack Kemp.

Kissinger protest opposed
as inappropriate tactic
EDITOR:
We write to support, in general, the
sentimenu of a large group of U B faculty who
oppose American military involvement in
Central America. Wc too oppose this
involvement, and are especially concerned
that in the flush of the success of the illadvised invasion of Grenada, the Reagan
Administration may be tempted to step up
military action elsewhere in Central America,
and perhaps even participate in a military
invasion of Nicaragua.
Vietnam shows that it is impossible to
impose an unpopular regime on an unwilling
people. American support for the unpopular
Somoza dictatorship in Ntcaregiut for several
decades makes it imperative that the United
States not i^n involve itself in the internal
affairs of Nicaragua.
We also recognize that Central America has
become part of East-West rival^. It is
important that all foreign powett. including
Cuba and the Soviet Union, keep out of the
internal affairs of Central American and
Caribbean sutes. American intervemioo is
wrong, as is that of other nations.
As a matter of effectively presenting the
ami4oterveotion viewpoint to a wider public
in Western New York, we question the
advisaMity of a demonstration against Henry
Kissinger at this time. We feel that such a
demonstration may simply polarize public
opinion, which seems, we trust temporarily,
favorable to the Grenada invasion. A more
appropriau tactic is to engage in public
educational efforts to emphasize the political,
moral and legal necessity for external powers
to suy out of Central America.

MEMO TO: M«mb«rB ol »&gt;• UnlWBlty Community
DEAR COLLEA GVES:
The upcoming Thanksgiving. Hanukah and Christmas teasou provide contideraM!^
opportunity for us to share with one another.
As you know, some students remain on campus during the holidays because of
distance to their homes and other prevailing circumstances. Although many faculty
and sufTalready open their homes to students and provide hospitality in a variety of
ways, there are some studenu who necessarily spend the holidays in relative isolation
in the dormitories and apartments off campus.
In order to faciliute the matchii^ of students interested in being hosted with those
who would wish to offer hospitality, my office will be pleased to receive names of
faculty and suff who would wish to be advis^ of tmerosted students.
For further information, please stop in or cdl our office, 542 Capen Hall, 636-2982.
We will be glad to give you further information.

The EPA: just whose ‘protector’ is it anyway?
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
"■ ^ vcr since Theodore Roosevelt
■j ' began setting aside wilderness
.areas for a national system of
M
parks and wildlife reserves,
ecology and the conservation of natural
resources have remained sometimes pop*
ular and always emotional issues in the
American consciousness. At times, media
interest has been low-key or non-existent
as in the late 1970s. After reaching an
apogee of interest on Earth Day 1970.
Americans and the press became more
concerned with unemployment figures,
economic theories, and multiples of
nuclear warheads than with dioxin levels
or air pollution indexes.
But when President Ronald Reagan
appointed the controversial James Watt
as his Secretary of the Interior and Anne
Burford, Watt^ ideological apostle, as
head of the Environmental Protection
Ageitcy (EPA), the dormant wrath of
America’s environmentalists as well as
the attention of the mass media was once
more aroused.
Although both Watt and Burford have
resigned their posts in varying degrees of
disgrace, the notoriety their actions
attracted still plagues the Reagan admin­
istration as Congressmen, conservation­
ists. and the American public continue
questioning the govemment'k environ­
mental policies and ecological commit­
ment.
In what was billed as the^Debate of the
Decade” and an olT-shoot of the recent
EPA controversy, former EPA Super­
fund administrator Rita Lavelle and
author Lewis Regenslein met in Slee Hall
last week supposedly to address the ques­
tion of how widespread the ^poisoning of
America” really is.
However, that question was relegated
to the background, as the two-hour
’’debate” instead revolved around
Lavelle’s controversial tenure as Super­
fund director arKl Reagan^ record on
environmenul protection.
n egenstein. author of America, the
K Poisoned, called the present admin­
istration a group of "ideological zealou
trying to turn around (the ecological
advancements) of the past 20 years.” Riu
Lavelle. he said, “typifies the problems of
the administratioiL”
Pointing to recent government efforts
to "dilute” the Clean Air Act and other
conservation measures passed over the
past few decades, Re|emtein said Rea­
gan believes “the public is too stupid” to
care or be interested about the environ­
ment. Instead of enfordng existing antipoUution legislation, he charged, the
EPA u pandering to big businm with the
resoh being “permanent irreversiMe
damage."
On the contimry. Lavelk conmered.
under R^gan the EPA has made "great”

inroads in hazardous waste elimination
while increasing the responsibility of
industry to “volunurily” police its own
clean-up operations. Lavelle defended
her close ties with chemical industry
executives while an EPA administrator,
noting that she was fostering a coopera­
tive attitude between polluters and the
government. Better environmental nrotection will result, she said, only if the
EPA and industry communicate — her
goal as the Superfund director.
“Some people seem to think that the
only good regiulators are those who hate
the group th^ are regulating,” she com­
plained. “That's not a constructive
attitude.”
Yet. Regenstein said Lavelle's numer­
ous contacts with some of the lutionY
most nefarious polluters were not to
show them the light of ecological sanity,
but to show them ways to circumvent
already disabled anti-pollution regula­
tions. “Ms. Lavelle was having a pollutera-day affair.” he charged, “liutead of tak­
ing these people to court, she was taking
them to lunch or dinner."
Because of Lavelle's close ties with the
heads of many polluting corporations she was, Regenstein noted, an executive
of California's third largest chemical cul­
prit — and a government record of choos­
ing negotiation over litigation, Regen­
stein said companies were and are
encouraged to pollute since “they know
they are not going to be sued.”
He charged that the President's first
environmental act was to abolish the
EPA's enforcement office, following the
move with the appointment of former
poHuters. such as Lavelle. to sensitive
EPA offices. “People from the same
industries they are suppos^ to regulate
were put in charge," he said.
n ut. Lavelle. looking more like an over0 enthusiastic Avon saleswoman than
a government bureaucrat on trial for con­
tempt of Congress, called Regetutein's
allegations “illog^l syllc^isms” typipal
of environnsenialist “demagogues."
“Just because someone has busineu
expertise, must that mean he or she loves
pollution or is on the uke?" she questi­
oned. “(To the rabid environmentalists
who protest Reagan's policies) the only
good people are the cult people who
preach how everything produced by
industries is bad arid di^eroiis to your
health."
These “cuh people.” Lavelle charged,
are “roiskading. mnstating, and mampiK
lating” the American public into believ­
ing iLu an environmental apocatypse is
inching closer.
“Learn to question what poo hear,"
Lavelle warned. "These environmr«al
gurus have no soluiioru to the problems
they die; they just throw rocks and run."
For example, she said, the ecolomcal
“zealots" sermonize that “everymng

organic is good and ever&gt;1hing synthetic,
bad." However, she added, "pc^le are
never told that there is no dilTcrence
chemically between the natural product
and the synthetic one. Vitamin C is
Vitamin C is Vitamin C. whether itY in an
orange or a pill.”
And it is .these ume “demagogues.”
Lavelle said, who insist that “big. bad
business is polluting, when, in fact, it is
managing quite well in handling its
waste." Charges of dangerous harardous
waste disposal are “unsubttanuated,“she
countered, noting that all of the current
chemical dufiyw were established over 20
years ago. bef^ “we knew better."
'n egenstein remains unconvinced.
JE%"The EPA wants us to believe (the
problems with hazardous waste disposal)
are all blown out of proportion." he said.
“(Environmentalists) don't have to try to
create a state of hysteria, they (the pollu­
ters) are doing a good job of it them­
selves."
Already every American has been
exposed to dioxin, “the deadliest chemi­
cal known to man." be said, adding that
history has proven industry can not. and
will not. accept the social responsibilities
associated with hazardous waste dispo­
sal. The asbestos industry has known since
I930 that the flame retardant is deadly,
yet refused to release the information.
Regemtein uid. This corporate response
is typical of industries which are allowed
to regulate themselves as lavelle pro­
poses. “The asbestos studies were hid­
den, "he said. “And because of that coverup. millions of Americans have been
exposed to asbestos, and 60.000 people
die every year because they weren't told."
Rcgensleinchargedalsothat Dow Chem­
ical knew the dangers of dioxin in I96S.

yet continued to dump the chemical in
nearby waters.
lavelle doubts dioxin is extremely
dangerous, pointing to four independent
studies which showed, she said, that the
chemical “has no serious medical effect
on humans.
“It IS. however, the most toxic chemical
to guinea pigs, but certain chemicals in
peanut butter are almost as toxic to these
animals." she said. “Even the American
Medical Association (AMA) said dioxin
isn't public enemy number one."
Regenstein warned that years roust
pass before the chemioalb caroinogenie
effects can be accurately assessed for
humans. The studies Lavelle cited, he
said, were conducted loo soon after the
subjects' exposure to dioxin. The results
will be different, Reaenstein predicted,
after time allows the chemical to work its
poison. The only person besides l.avelle,
he said, who “believes dioxin is safe is the
president of Dow Chemical, the company
which dumped 25 million tons of it into
the Great Lakes."
Ouch dumping claims arc untrue,
O Lavelle retorted. “Nobody ntaket
dioxin today, because industries are
basically too scared to. They arc shell­
shocked."
Fortunately, Regenstein noted, the
upcoming Presidential election will allow
the public to repudiate the Reagan
administration's environmenul polictes.
And even luvelle hopes for some
change in the administration's environ­
menul sunces. “I’m very concerned
about the future. We have no long term
lookers.” she said. “The problem of the
future is in municipal waste and it’s time
we realized that big. bad busineu does
not cause cancer.”

UB shares in energy conservation fund
^B was one of lOI New York
I schools. coUeges, universities
and hospiuls selected by the
Sute Energy Office (SEO) to
share in a $5 million energy conservation
fund esublisbed by the roleral Institu­
tional Buildings Grant Program. As a
result, the University experts to receive
$39,650 from Washington with matching
funds from Albany. The $79,300 totu
will be used to fund Technical Assistance
Studies to identify energy saving mea­
sures for Cooke. Hochstctter.Furnasand
Acheson halls.
The research buildings were selected
for the studieabecause tl^ are UBb most
energy intensive structures. It ukes
approximately 20 percent of the energy
budget to provide these four buUdinp
sriih heating, cooling lighting and other
energy-relan^ services. High levcto of
energy rmwumptinn rcauh from the
operation &lt;4 fume hood exhaust system.
A fume hood is an enclosed lib bench

served by an exhaust fan. These erublc
research to work safely with loxw or^laiile materials. However, when VB't
research buildings were constructed, no
provision was made to allow lab pcrsoiw
nel to turn oB these hoods when they arc
not in use. The exhaust fans which serve
the hoods in Cooke. Hochstetter. Furoaa
and Acheson Halls run continuously.
And as they do. large quantities of healed
and cooled air are exhausted. CookeHochstetter’k fume hood exhaust system
alone exhausts approxiroauly $l imUion
worth of heated air each winter.
The Physical Plant Department, whi^
submitted the MpUcaiion for the Techni­
cal Aatisunce Studias, is hopeful chat the
new etudies will point the way to soltstiotts to the difficuh probkins poecd by
fume hood exhaust systems. Out of
necessity, other schools have uodertaken
similar projects, including Harvard
which recently retrofitted over 300 fiUM
hoods for more efficirnt operation.

Holtzman says founders of US were
clear in limiting President’s powers;
they didn’t wwt to have a monarch
By WENDY CONLIN

T'

I he framers of ihc Constitution
were very clear in limiting the
----------■ war-making
powers of'hePresthe 1
ident, **but those ideals have
been eroded.” contended Elizabeth
Holtzman, presently the district attorney
of Kings County (Brooklyn), who spoke
Monday afternoon before a crowd well
over 200 in the Moot Court Room of
03rian Hall.
The former House of Representatives
member (1973-1980) and co-founder of
the First Congresswoman's Caucus
(1977) stated her strong views that there
are sufficient checks built into the
government to monitor the President’s
ability to send troops and initiate gunfire,
but that they must be acted on by "public
vigilance" and an alert Congress.
“In the end, what will preserve our
Constitutional system is this public vigilance," she claimed, emphasizing that it
works through Congress.
The need for regulating the President is
“unfortunately something which does not
fade from our consciousness — it has
been present since 1 first was elected to
Congress and new cventt have brought
up the old debates which surrounded the
bombings in Cambodia" under President
Nixon.
She referred to current events in Gren­
ada and Lebanon, noting that the War
Powers Act, which was passed to prevent
another incident like Vietnam, was not
invoked immediately by Congress when
troops were sent to these countries.
“What the War Powers Act does is bas- :
ically to require the President to consult i
Congress tefore he can send troops any­
where. TKiis, there is a confrontation
with Congress before the troops move in.
Congress has to use that authority,“she
explained.
Reagan did not have approval to send
tr^ps to either Lebanon or Grenada,
said Holtzman, and by failing to use the
law (War Powers Act), Congress was basically giving the President its okay to

usurp what should have been a Senate
and House of Representatives decision.
“The issue is, where once Congress auth­
orized troops to go abroad, the President
has now taken over."
She criticized the passage of a War
Powers Resolution on the Lebanon situa­
tion in September, first because of “ineffectivenns," and second because of lack
oflogic in the action. The resolution calls
for no Congressional interference until
March 1985 and is tike “passing a law to
pass a law," she noted. “The War Powers
Act already exists, why pass the War
Powers Resolution?"
YToltzman's main complaint with
XJ. Reagan's actions in Lebanon and
Grenada, aside from what she deems the
“illegality of it." centers on the political
issue. "We have a right to go into Gren­
ada to rescue Americans in trouble, but
when our troops move in and are us^ to
occupy the area and push our ideas —
this is inexcusable."
If the President ignores the powers of
the Congress, as Holuman suggests Rea­
gan may have, there are several courses
for the legislaNVt body to follow. Congrm can take the case to court; however
this is a time&lt;on$uming alternative.
More feasible is the passing of legisiatioii
to stop a President intent on war. Plus,
"they can always cut off funds."
A final way for Congress to check a
President acting illegally is impeachment.
However, she said, it is not a very viable
solution except in extreme cases. “This is
a potential course of action but not very
real." she admitted, referring to the diffi­
culties in implementing such action
against Richard Nixon following the
Watergaiccover-up. HolUmanserved on
the House Judiciary Committee during
the impeachment hearings against
Nixon.
In an interview with the Buffalo News.
Holtzman. on another subject, urged tbe
Sute to develop a protection program for
both witnesses and crime victims who tes­
tify for tbe prosecution.

‘Irmuisitor’ aids in lesson on fanaticism
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
Jjr ost know him as a professor
fW of languages and director of
I
■ the Center for Critical Lang&gt;
.X ▼ .A. uages. But, once a year,
Peter Boyd-Bowman trades in his aca­
demic robes for a black cape and cowl,
meticulously positions and lights a gal­
axy of candles in an otherwise darkened
classroom, then dusts off dozens of
ancient, mysterious looking books which
seem more appropriate to a Salem witch
trial than to the shelves of an ultra­
modern Clemens Hall office.
By means of this ritual, Boyd-Bowman •
transforms himself into the epitome of
the most terrifying and intriguing cadre
of men from the 16th Century. He is at
once Torquemada, Adrian of Utrecht,
and the fanatic Cisneros, Archbishop of
Toledo — the Grand Inquisitor on whom
the fate of thousands lay. His decrees can
s^cll imprisonment, torture, or burning
at the stake for those deemed heretics to
the Catholic faith.
n oyd-Bowman*s metamorphosis is
m3 designed not to revive a long-dead
religious practice, but rather to better
explain the processes and mentalities
behind the infamous Spanish Inquisition,
which, for three centuries, kept Spa­
niards in a constant state of fear.
The “Grand Inquisitor** is a “visitor"
to Boyd-Bowman*s class. "LatinAmerica: Its Culture and History,** a
two-part General Education course
offered both by the Department of His­
tory and the Humanities area of General
Education. Boyd-Bowman shares the
100-levet course*s teaching responsibili­
ties with Albert Michaels, a History
professor.
During his investigations into the emi­
gration patterns of Spanish peoples to the
AmeHcaii colonies. Bowd-Bowman said
his “interest was aroused by (Spain's)
vigorous attempts to check the clandes­
tine entry, into its ideologically vulnera­
ble colonies of Protestants, Moslems,
and Jews."
From the Americas. Boyd-Bowman*s
exploring intellect traveled across the
Atlantic to Spain which, he notes, was a
late subscriber to religious persecutions.
Precursors of the Spanish Inquisition
had flourished in Italy. France, and Ger­
many during the 13th and I4)h centuries,
but, Boyd-Bowman notes, “the institu­
tion was in full decline when it was
revived by Ferdinand and Isabella of
Spain."
Foremost in the two monarchs’ miitds
was not the cleansing of Spain's religious
character, he said, but unification of the
shattered nation. In 1492, as Columbus
sailed toward his eternal fame, the last
Moorish kingdom in Spain. Granada,
succumbed. While original terms laid
upon the defeated Moslems were gener­
ous
they were guaranteed religious
freedom - the pressure exerted by Cis­
neros, the fanatical Archbishop of
Toledo, convinced the monarchs to issue
edidls giving the Moors the choice of exile
or conversion. But, in reality, the Moon*
option , was moot. Boyd-Bowman
explained, "since the same edict pro­
hibited them from settling in other p^s
of Spain or from emigrating to North
Africa; in effect, they had no choice at

Y ews. many of whom helped firunoe
4f the wars against the Moorish states,
too became a target of the religious
fmrists. “With the end of the Wars, the
aid of wealthy Jewish money-lenders was
no longer needed and religious fanatics
like Torquemada persuaded Ferdinand
and Isabella to exf^ all Jews who would
not embrace Christianity." he said,
adding that a quarter million Jews were
iven only four months to escape from
&gt;pain. Approximately 70.000 chose
to remain and convert. "At least nomi­
nally."
'
Boyd-Bowman noted that the forced
conversion of Jews and Moslems worried
many in the Christian estaMi^roem, who
believed the converts mi^ impmi their
own salvation because They cootiaw

practice their religions in private.** To
“ferret them out" and cleanse the Spanish
faith, an Inquisition received the Papal
seal of approval artd was zealously estab­
lished throughout Spain and her
colonies.
"On the principle that where there's
smoke, there*$ fire, and that the conduct
of a true Catholic would never attract
suspicion," he said, "the mere act of
incurring suspicion of heresy wa&gt;
regarded as a crime, even if the accused
was able to prove himself innocent."
Inquisition tribunals encouraged lay
people to “discover" heretics. BoydBowman said, by "solemn edicts ordering
all good Christians, under threat ol dire
anathema, to denounce any case of
possible heresy which might have come to
their attention." Thus, public rumors and
unfounded revelations against citizens
were enough cause to set tlw Inquisition's
machinery into action. Victims would
immediately be imprisoned without
knowledge of their offense. "All of (the
victim's) papers would be seized. ai&gt;d if
the charge was serious enough, his entire
property would be confiscated."
A prisoner was interrogated for "hours
on end"by the inquisitor about his home,
occupation, family and friends. "He
would he asked tf he knew the reason for
his arrest." Boyd-Bowman went on, “and
then to recite the l-ord^ Prayer and the
Avc Maria, a requirement designed to
trap Moslems and Jews who were only
nominal converts to Christianity."
A fter a prisoner had made a voluntary
statement and was finally told the
nature of the charges, a court counselor
wasassigiwd. But. Boyd-Bowman noted,
the duty of the lawyer differed from cur­
rent standards. "The prisoner had very
little chance of suecessfuliy defen^ng
himself, for the pnncipal duty of the
defense counselor was not to r^ute the
charges against the client." he said, "but
to persuade the accused to reconcile hiassclf with the court by making a full and
ab^ confession." Victims of the Inquisiiioa were guilty until proven guilty.

The accused^ only hope of Salvation,
Boyd-Bowman noted, was to guess the
names of any enemies who might have
made the charges, for the accusations of
personal foes were disallowed in the
Inquisiior's court. Still, even after the pri­
soner’s guesswork. iIk names of the
accusers were never revealed.
During the trial, the prosecution was
allowed to produce any witnesses - be
they criminals, drunks, or other assorted
vermin
in from of the tribunal. The
defense, on the other hand, had severe
restrictions applied on its potential wit­
ness selection. Boyd-Bowman said a
relative's testimony was allowed only if
unfavorable tn ihe accused, and Jews.
Moors, and the victim's own servants
were also not allowed to testify "no mat­
ter how good their reputation for
honesty.
"After the prisoner answered the
charges as best he could, the Inquisitor
and the local bishop would confer their
verdict." he went on "If any doubts
remained in their minds, if the prisoner^
answers were contradictory, or his confeuion incomplete, then torture would be
used until he confessed everything."
V t was the Inquisition's use of torture
A that gained most of its historical noto­
riety. Vet Boyd-Bowman cautions that
the methods were not much more sadistic

than the norm. “The Inquisition was. in
fact, rather conservative." he said,
“employing for the purpose only public
executioners who used only the most
ordinary tortures practiced by the civil
courts." These most “ordinary" forms of
torture, he noted, were the pulley, the
rack, and water.
In the pulley torture, the victim would
be stripp^ naked, his hands tied behind
the back, and suspended by ropes with
heavy weights tied about the feet. After a
period of lime, the victim would be cut
loose and allowed to crash onto the floor,
the end result being the complete disloca­
tion of his body.
"White the excrucinting pain of the
rack is well-known," Boyd-Bowman said
“the water torture, though it left no
external marks on the body, was
probably }ust as bad.*' In this
punishment, the victim was tied down,
his mouth propped open with a gag. Pails
of water would be continuously poured
into the open mouth and nose, giving the
victim Ihe sensations of drowning.
Before being tortured, the victim
would be examined by a physician to
ensure he or she
the accused ranged
from young girls to 80-year-old men
was capable of enduring it, “However, as
a precaution, the Inquisitor would
formally disclaim all legal responsibility
for the possible death of or serious injury
to the prisoner." Boyd-Bowman ex­
plained. "protesting that any blame for
this would rest not with the Inquisition,
but with the prisoner, for refusing to tell
the truth." He added that torture was
used with the intent of obtaining
information not for killing (he prisoner
or even as punishment.
“From the foregoing, it is clear that
once a person fell into the hands of the
Inquisition, it was virtually impouible to
escape unscathed.“ he said.
. Rather than “convict" a sinner. BoydBowman noted, the Inquisition instead
assigned a penance to the guilty, tied to
the gravity of the sin. Among penances
commonly imposed were exile for
various periods of lime; public flogging,
which occasionally proved fatal;
imprisonment, or. if Ihe victim was a
"well-built" man, slavery on a Mediter­
ranean galley ship. The most terrible
punishment, was burning, reserved for
unrepentent heretics. However, even in
condemning a victim to (he stake and
sure death, the Inquisition shielded itself
from responsibility with religious dogma
"The Inquisition did not condemn
anyone to death." Boyd-Bowman said
"What It did was to 'release the prisoner
to (he secular authorities,’a well-known
formula which everyone knew perfnily
well meant death at the stake."
1 he actual burnings turned into public
spectacles, he said, and an outward shoH
of (he power and authority of the
Inquisition.
Boyd-Bowman emphasized that 16th
century Spam was far from being alone
in its persecutions ol religious deviants.
Noting various burnings in England.
Frarsce. and Italy, and even Protestant
burnings of heretics under John Calvin.
Boyd-Bowman said the spectre ol the
Inquisition even haunts today’s world.
From the Spanish Inquisition to the
Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. he said,
"human nature hat not changed much.
As long at faNttks abound, preaching
fear, violence and hate, some future form
of inquisition, even in the United Stales,
remains an unpleasant pouibiliiy." □

ately — people told us and then we heard
it over the radio. We were silting inside
listening to the news and several Belgians
called to sympathize with us as if we had
lost a personal friend. It wasn't the same
as sharing the feeling with fellow Ameri­
cans but it was remarkable how con­
cerned they were about it."
. His reaction was initially shock and
then sorrow — “a sorrow for a young
person being killed and a sorrow for the
country because I preferred Kennedy to
Johnson.”
.
Even though the Butlers were thou­
sands of miles from home, "there

knew it wouldn't crumble — I

que perspective from my distanced van­
tage point.”
WENDY CIESLA, Undergraduate
Student Wendy Ciesla was an Erie,
Pennsylvania, tenth-grader in the fall of
1963. At the time of the President's assas­
sination, she was practicing in orchestra
class when a school official barged into
the rehearsal room and whispered to the
conductor.
"(The conductor) told us to put our
instruments down,” she said, "and then
told us the neu«.”
Of course, “everybody was crying and
carrying on,” Ciesla remembered,
although the sentiment, she added, was
not unanimous. When Kennedy's death
was finally verified later that afternoon,
she recall^ that "somebody hoped that
we would have the day off.
“It was real scary. We didn't knowwhat was going to happen (with the lines
of Presidential succession),” Ciesla said.
“I fell sorry for that poor lady and her
two children and had the feeling that if
the President could be killed, then any­
body could get shot.”
But, at least, Strong-Vincent High
School did gel the day off.
VICTOR OOYNO, Eng/tah. What Vic­
tor Doyno termed the "nightmare week­
end” began while he was teaching a class
at Rutgers University in New Brunswick,
New Jersey. Walking out of his class­
room, he overheard students saying that
the President had been shot. "Of course, I
thought they meant the president of the
university and 1 was shocked, but when I
found out it was Kennedy 1 was dumb­
founded."
The radio and TV reports featured
soundtracks of automatic gunfire, “so my
first thought was that this was done by
more than one individual — that this was
an international incident."
He quickly called and ordered his wife
to bring the children inside, then drove
home to Princeton, N.J., where he
remained glued to the television set for
the remainder of the weekend.
“I don't want to say that the fear out­
weighed the sadness about his death —
but I was, and still am, convinced to some
extent that it was a conspiracy, which we
were lucky to have made it through.”
EDWARD DOTY, Vice Prealdent,
Finance and Idanagement For some,
life continued normally despite the shoot­
ing announcement, ^ward Doty was
conducting a program review of an elec­

tronic product at Sylvania Electronics in
Massachusetts when the plant PA system
boomed the ominous news. “We con­
tinued the demonstration and I really
don’t remember much about my
emotions.
“The older one gets, the more immune
one is to news of death or attempt at
death,"explained Doty. “1 can recall very
clearly my emotional reactions to the
announcement of the bombing of Pearl
Harbor — 1 was only 19 years old then
And knew exactly what that meant."
I But clear images of the Kennedy inci' dent “just aren’t there. Most of what I
think about it was generated after the
fact.”
CHARLES EBERT, Geography, A typ­
ical midterm examination for Charles
Ebert’s students set the stage for his
learning about the Kennedy tragedy. “I
was giving a particularly hard examina­
tion in Crosby Hall that Friday^and 1
stepped out in. the hall to get a sip of
water. I was told about the assassination
but I couldn't tell the students about it
because I didn’t want to break their
concentration.”
So for one and a half hours of painful
silence Ebert proctored his exam, while
“shock, turmoil and deep upset” quietly
ate away at his insides. “It was so hard
and ni never forget the agony of having
to keep it all inside like that — not being
able to show any emotion.”
The shock of his first reaction,
“although shock sounds so shallow,”
never quite wore off during this long wait­
ing period.
JOSEPH J. KRAKOWIAK, Dlredor,
Student Information Seralcea. On
November 22, 1963, Joseph Krakowiak
was a freshman at Canisius College. After
spending most of the day in the library,
Krakowiak went to his car planning to
move it before receiving a parking ticket.
“When I got into the car and turned on
the radio, I first heard about the shoot­
ing,” he said. “It was about four o’clock.”
After reparking his car in a safer spot,
Krakowiak went to the Canisius student
union where he “remembers vividly” a
crowd of about 500 students and faculty
gathered around a television set waiting
for and watching the constant news
bulletins.
“My initial reaction was of complete
disbelief,” he recalled. "There were so
many conflicting reports. We weren't
sure exactly what happened, but we did
know something bad had occurred in
Dallas____”
GEORGE LEVINE, Bngllah. The
Faculty Club in Harriman Hall was dis­
rupted by someone's announcement of
the assassination, causing George Levine
to jump out of ^is seat, leave his lunch
and go upstairs to watch the news on
television.
The strongest feeling experienced by
the professor was “horror that something
like this could happen. There was no fear
or anything like that, only that horror
and a deep sense of confusion.”
The media, according to Levine,
played a major role in contributing to the
anxiety and confusion with which most
people viewed the event. “They let no one
rest easy."
MILTON PLE8UR. Hlaiory. When the
news of Kennedy's assassination reached
the UB campus, Milton Plesur was in

IRVING SHAMES. Engineering and
Applied Sclencea. Extreme rage char­
acterized the reaction of Irving Shames
on hearing about the shooting. He was
walking around the UB Main Street
Campus when a radio announcement
caught his attention, riveting him to the
spot with its news. “1 was stunned and
mad that some stupid person could affect
so many people.”
, A man with “high regard for
Kennedy,” Shames felt a sadness at his
death but no real fear for the American
governmental institution. “That’s the
great thing about this country — the flex­
ibility at the top. People don't realize it,
but there’s a miracle every four years
when the power passes from one group to
another. 1 knew the same thing would
happen following the shooting.”
One of the most maddening aspects of
the assassination for the professor was
the fact that Kennedy took “great pains
to be in touch with the common man —
he wasn't isolated from them — and look
what happened. There has been far less
contact of Presidents with the masses
since then."
STUART SHAPIRO, Computer Sci­
ence. Still in his undergraduate years at
Michigan Institute of Technology (MIT).
Stuart Shapiro was greeted with talk of
Kennedy’s shooting upon walking into
his dorm. “1 went up to my floor,
shocked, and a bunch of us who were
friends just sat around the room and listerted to the radio.”
His overpowering reaction was a
“stunned shock. I remember reflecting at
the time that when Kennedy was elected
in 1960, 1 had commented that every
President who was elected in a year end­
ing in zero had died in ofTice but that that
couldn't happen to Kennedy because he
was so young. It gave me a funny feeling."
JEROME SLATER. PotMcal Science.
Twenty years ago Tuesday, Jerome
Slater was having his hair cut. He was a
visiting lecturer at Ohio State University,
working toward his Ph.D. at Princeton.
After settling down to have his locks
shorn. Slater listened to the barber’s
radio as it announced the news.
“I got up from the barber's chair with
the bib and towel still around my neck
and ran out the door to go home and
watch the news on television,” he said. “I
was in a state of shock and disbelief.”
After the initial shock subsided the
next morning, he did return the bib and
towel to the barber.
MELVIN J. TUCKER, Hlatory. Then
one of the History Depanmeni’s newest
members. Melvin Tucker was walking
through Diefendorf Hall when he first
heard the news of the President’s
shooting. At first, he noted, there were no
indications that Kennedy was dead, but
about 30 minutes later, the radio
confirmed the fearful news.
“My stomach was ail tom up,” he
recalled. "1 was sick and angry. It was just
like having a personal loss in your fam­
ily.” And he should know. Tucker said his
grandfather had died just two weeks prior
and he was “still in a state of shock and
stupor" when the news of Kennedy's
death was announced.
Like Plesur. Tucker “commiserated”
with a group of History Department col­
leagues and recalled that at the University
“everything bad stopped.”
□

conference with a student, whose name
he still recalls. “While we were chatting,
Arthur Kaiser, a professor of education
and then director of Admissions and
Records called me and explained that a
few of his workers had heard the horrible
news,” recalls Plesur, who in addition to
teaching history in 1962 was also an
assistant dean. “We hooked up the PA
system in Diefendorf so everybody could
hear.”
Listeningto the reports with colleagues
John Horton, then History Department
chairman, and Selig Adler, now a
professor-emeritus of history, Plesur
remembers that the trio “were all
enthused about LBJ becoming President.
As historians we looked to the past, but
we couldn't forget the present and LBJ
had such great experience.”
His first reaction to the news of the
President’s death was “disbelief,”
because, he said, “you never think it’s
going to happen.
“The last time a Presidential assassina­
tion occurred,” he noted, “had been (Wil­
liam) McKinley's (in 1901). And for that,
I wasn't around.”
PAUL REITAN, Geological Sclencea.
For Paul Reitan, that Friday afternoon
was spent discussing the earth with a
group of elementary school children fol­
lowing his learning of the shooting. “I
had promised to do the presentation but I
kept thinking there might be other things
acutely more important to talk about at
this time,” he recalledThen a professor at Stanford Univer­
sity, Reitan had been informed only
hours before his scheduled appointment
with the children about the attack on the
President. “I was in my office and some­
one passed by and said the President had
been shot. We were a couple of hours
different from Texas lime, but 1 called my
wife and suggested she listen to the
radio."
Following the presentation, Reitan
returned home where he remained for the
rest of the day. The sense of horror en­
veloped him, he remembers, as well as a
foreboding about Johnson as President.
He still noticed the outstanding reporting
job done by a non-network announcer on
the radio — Dan Rather. “His .perfor­
mance in this particular incident proba­
bly boosted his career a great deal.”
ROBERT ROSSBERQ, Vice Preal^
dentf Academic Atfaln. The brisk
November Friday was a strange day for
Robert Rossberg to be mowing his lawn
— but then it was just a strange day alto^ther. As Rossberg was putting the fin­
ishing touches on his yard, the children
from the nearby elementary school began
to filter by on their way home. One of
them shouted the news to Rossberg who
was filled with “shock and disbelief.”
He quickly went inside and turned the
TV on for the beginning of a 72-hour
marathon alternating between silent
absorption of the broadcasters* com­
ments and animated discussion between
his family and a company of friends who
had joined them.
‘i’ll never forget the sinking feeling I
had in the pit of my stomach. 1 felt as
though some sort of era had ended and
we were now entering into uncertainty.”
he recalled. “There was a foreboding
sense that there was something even more
catastrophic to come."

UB named as one of the California system’s "comparable 8’
I be University of California in
arguing for increases in its
faculty pay scales is using UB as
one of “eight comparable
schools” where average faculty pay
exceeds that paid in the California
system.
The other members of the “comparable
8” are Stanford. Harvard. Yale. Cornell,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan — a
pretty good league to play in. local Uni­
versity officials feel.
According to an article published in
Berkeley's Daily Califomtan, David
Gardner, bead of the University of Cali­
fornia system, recently lament^ the fact
that the University's pa3c.scale bat fallen
so low that it is losing faculty members to
universities in such places as Arizona,
Texas and Utah^ Berkeley alone, Assist­
ant Vice President Edward J. Blakely

said, has lost ten senior faculty members
this year to other schools and is “desper­
ately trying to hold 35 others.”
Gardner testified before the Board of
Regents in San Francisco that the only
way to stop raids on Cal faculty is to
mak^ UC salaries competitive again. To
do this, he has asked for an 11.9 per cent
increase in state aid for the coming year.
About half the increase would be used to
replace funds lost in this yearY sharp
budg^ cuts, Gardner said, with tm
remainder going to start “rebuilding the
university to its former status.”
Gardner said the average assistant pro­
fessor who gets an appointment in the UC
system after completing a period of
rigorous post^aduate training is now
paid S22.905 a year — a figure that will
increase to S24,S08 next April when a
long-delayed pay raise goes into effect.

By contrast, an assistant professor at
eight schools comparable to UC in aca­

German ‘Greens’ movement dismissed as posing little threat
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
A

Ithough the Greens, the West
German peace and ecological
movement, are becoming a
growing factor in that nation's
politics, their present strength and future
prospects present little danger to the
nation's political stability, explained
Roderett Klett, editor-in-chief for politi­
cal afTairs of Stuttgart's South German
Radio Network.
Addressing possible electoral compli­
cations which could erupt from the
continued growth of the Green Party, a
vehemently anti-nuclear movement,
-Ktett urged the overflow crowd in
Clemens Hall Monday to use caution and
not ovcr&lt;stimate the group's political
might.
Klett remained seemingly unconcerned
or “patronizing" as an audience member
accused him, about the Greens'chances
to upset*the fragile balance between West
Germany’s two predominant political
powers, the ruling Christian Democrats
and the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
The Green movement. Klett explained,
is a natural, healthy, and expected out­
growth of republican government. “They
are just part of the game which demo­
cracy allows to be played." he said. “In 10
years, they will have become part of
German history, never presenting any
real danger to political stability."
The West German Green movement,
whose power, Klett believes, is being
inflated by the international press, was
initiated partially in response* to the
planned deployment of U.S. Pershing II
nuclear missiles on German soil and also
as a result of the growing environmental,
or “green," problems which industrial
Germany suffers.
“Greens are questioning the logic of
nuclear deterrence," Klett explained.
“They ask whether it is morally sensible
to pul more weapons on German soil."
West Germany is not the only nation with
a large anti-nuclear movement, be said.

but the Greens have more electoral pull
than comparable American or other
European groups.
The Greens composition is "hetero­
genous." Klett said, although the bulk of
the membership is young. Youth organi­
zations. university students. Lutheran
churches, and fringe groups, all drawn
together over nuclear weapons (comprise
the Greens)," he noted. “Their rallies, so
far. have been quite peaceful and happy
affairs, much like a national picnic." -

much unlike recent reports in Time and
f^ewsweek magazines.
Some older Carmans, especially
elderly women, have been drawn to the
Green ranks, enticed not by the party's
weapons position, but by its environmen­
tal stances. Due to West Germany’s
highly industrial economy, Klett noted,
acid rain and the continued destruction
of historic, national forests have raised
the ire of many Germans, ushering them
into the Green camp. “German forests
have a special place in the German spirit,"
he said.
Yet. despite the man^ rosy scenarios
painted for the Greens in the upcoming
elections, Kktt insists the party's time has
come and passed. “They will not gel any
more voles in the next election." he said.
“Germans are sensible, middle-of-theroad people who realize that the Greens
do raise important questions, but will
look to the established parties to answer
them."

crats and the SDP. Klett expects the
Greens to increase it. "The big parties
have realized they must be more sensitive
to these issues." he said. “And because of
that new sensitivity, the Greens will have
added to West Germany's political
stability."
To Klett, the recent German general
election, which saw the conservative
Christian Democrats under Helmut Kohl
return to power, was further proof of the
Green's electoral impotence. “The Chris­
tian Democrats were brought back to
power despite their commitment to (mis­
sile deployment)." he said.
According to Klett. most older Ger­
mans understand the need for nuclear
deterrence, fearing the spectre of Soviet
totalitarianism. However, the younger
generation, living in a Europe of peace,
has yet to learn the le.ssons their parents
did under Nazi domination. “There is a
new generation growing up which has
never been threatened." he explained.
"They live where east and west fall apart.
(The Greens) believe that if you just
desire peace, that will be enough lo
ensure peace."
Thus, it is the duty of the older Ger­
mans. those "who know best what abso­
lutism. totalitarianism, and toss of free­
dom mean." to communicate with the
Greens. Klett said, “so that all our (past)
struggles (under the Nazis) will not have
been suffered in vain.
“We must try to make clear the need
for a more realistic policy (i.c. deterrence)
to the Greens," he said. “Unilateral dis­
armament does not produce additional
security."
Although the Greens protest the
deployment ol American missiles on
German soil, Klett emphasized that con­
stitutes the extern of their antiAmericanism.
“TheyVe just concerned," he said,
"about nuclear war."

Telefund successfully employs students to call alumni nationwide
By JILL-MARIE ANDIA
n an effort to reach a greater
H number of alumni on a more per■ sonal level, the UB Foundation has
implemented a new program known
as Telefund. The program, which oper­
ates out of Goodyear Hall, employs stu­
dent callers to telephone alumni nation­
wide. Telefund has been tremendously
successful and is expected to be a major
factor in helping the Foundation attain
this year's fund goal of S7S0.000 in
contributions.
Director Bob Arkeilpane feels that the
benefit of this method is "to let the alumni
know what's happening at UB. and to
answer any of the questions they might
have." Callers stress current improve­
ments which have been made p&lt;^ble
through contributions to show that "the
annual fund money helps to provide a
level of excellence... and the extras that
the Sute doesn't give to the University."
The effecu of this approach have been
positive; 25 per cent of past non-donors
have contributed so far. achieving a
pledge of S125.(NX) to date. The response
has been terrific." Arkeilpane is pleased
to announce, and be feeb that the stu­
dents who work under him are a major
reason for the suoceu.
Workers are cbMcn throu^ an appli­
cation and interview proc^ure. Any
interested graduate student or uppCTclassman is encouraged to apply. Arketlpanc is confidem that the work be olTeri
IS "a job with a valuable experience" and
he is always looking for qualified studenu. After speaking with c^ appticam,
be selects the most capable who then
begin the training process. By the time a
student begins to make actual calls, be or

programs and facilities here at UB. as
well as the opportunity to test his/her
skills in several mock telephone
conversations.
¥7 or Maureen Schmalzbauer. a Tclcfund worker for 2'/i months, the job
is ideal. “The wage rate is high, work is in
a good location, and the shifts arc short,"
she pointed out. Callers select two nights
per week and work three hour shifts.
Denise Cantor, another caller, also finds

her work for the Foundation rewarding.
"1 try to give people a better feeling about
the school . . . and I always leave work
with a good feeling when I've helped
someone with a question."
On an average night, students make
60-70 calls, reaching 15-20 alumni.
Scripts are provided to make the work of
the caller easier, but as Ms. Schmalz­
bauer pointed out. the key to a successful
conversation is "sounding sincere; that's
where the results come from."

Telefund appears lo be a beneficial
program for all involved
the student
workers enjoy the job and the pay. the
alumni appreciate the individual atten­
tion. and the Foundation is pleased lo be
able to contact to many of the UB
alumni. "The students have been terrific,
the response has been great, and we're
pleased with the results." Arkeilpane is
proud to say. The Foundation is confi­
dent this new program will realize its goal
in Ihu and future years.

THE DAY THE
PRESIDENT
DIED

IIIHkI!
...

ovember22,1963.
Few dates are
as indelibly etched
into the Ameri­
can psyche as the
day John F. Kennedy
was shot and killed
while driving in a
motorcade through down­
town Dallas. Since that
infamous day, Americans have endured numerous
inquiries, investigating every possible motive or
conspiracy which may have caused Lee Harvey
Oswald to pull the trigger. They’ve watched the
President's children grow up fatherless, yet still in
the awe-inspiring bosom of the almost royal
Kennedy clan, and have gawked at the transforma­
tion of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the princess of
the White House, into Jackie O, queen of the
supermarket tabloids.
Volumes and volumes of books have been written
analyzing every aspect of the assassination, each one
attempting to define differently the psychological.
social, and historial impact of the
day. While few
agree, one con­
stant remains:
Everybody, old
enough at the
time to turn on
the radio or the
television, re­
members what
they were doing
the day JFK died.
The following
are recollections
of various UB
faculty, staff, and
students of the
day the President
was shot.
ARTMUR BUTUR, Economica. While most Ameri­
cans could share feelinp over the shooting of their
leader with other Americans, Chairman of the Eco­
nomics Department Arthur Butler did not find him­
self in that situation. On sabbatical in Brussels, Bel­
gium, he was surrounded by sympathetic but “very
Belgian Belgians.'

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

Economic upturn seen for Buffalo area
uffalo's c~rrent ~loudy

of Management professor,
although continued high
unemployment and inflation
rates may dampen an otherwise sunny scenario.

Accord ina to Un's computations, Buf·

hoverina near the 12 per cent mark.
However, the discouraJina forecast is
partially offset by an owraU increase in
•
total employment.
"The service aod filljlnce secton will
contribute mos·t to the increase in
emplo)'ment," he said, "but manufact urina areas will not. There will be limited

. While manufacturina employment
shows a sli&amp;ht increase in Un's projte&gt;

upected to decreue, by the end of next

Buffalo
From page 1
While daily reports abound heralding
the end of the recent recession, Lin said
Buffalonians should not be too impatient
for tbe area's economy to mirror enthusiastic reports from across the nation.
.. The economic situation in Buffalo is
still very bad," be said. "And recovery
will be slower than for the rest of the
country because the recession was deeper
here."
in's model is based on a "complex"
regression analysis equation involv·
ing 84 separate economic variables, ranging from electrical usage to the prime
lending rate. The 84 components represent an improvement over his last model,
Lin said, which was built on only 68 vari-

L

abies, but is still shon of his initial goal.
Originally, Lin developed his model to
encompass I SO different economic functions, but be discovered collecting the statistics proved to be more difficult than
theoretically fitting them into the model.
"Gathering data on the local level is
very difficult, "he said. "Because we could
not get some of the statistics we wanted,
we've had to scale down the model."
To comer as many relevant local statistics as possible, Lin and his cadre of
research assistants have combed both
traditional and non-traditional sources
for the necessary predictive information.
Lin said area banks, the major power
companies, and Western New York businesses all have been tapped for relevant
information. And if more economic feed
can be found, he said the model can be
expanded to accommodate the additional information and provide more
accurate economic predictions.

ducer of economic facts and figures.
Every January, Lin and an assistant
begin the arduous task of compiling
and updating the thousands of individual
statistics on which his model is based .
According to Lin, tbe task entails over
400 hours of researching, tracking, and
tallying, with tbe final predictions available sometime tbe following March.
Each prediction encompasses a two year
time frame and so far, Lin said, the two
previous model outlooks have been "very
accurate."
If Lin's most recent estimates prove to ·
be as accurate, Buffalo's cconom1c future
may improve, but continued recovery is
far from assured.
.. Weaknesses and uncertainties in the
local economic climate make it difficult
to quantify employment patterns or
trends," he said, "and may prevent a significant overall recovery that everyone is
hoping for."
I;J

"If a buriness or local government
wanted to find out more specific results
from tbe model, we could revise it to fit
their purposes," he said. "Btlt we can do
so only as long as the data is available."
Lin'• econometric model depends on
more than juotlocal statistics and cycles.
The influence of the national economic
order contributes equally with the local
picture in the model's development, Lin
said.
"Two ideals underlie the development
of the model," be said. "First, regional
economic variables are quite sensitive to
the national economic climate, and
second, the regional economic variables
are interrelated and interdependent."
Fonunately, the Management profes~
sor noted, national statis_tics arc: ... much
easier to find" than their local numerical
kin. The US government, Lin and his
assistants have found , is a prolific pro-

among works featured in a Monday public television program (at 10:30 p.m.,
Channel 17) on the famous composer,
conductor and pianist. The pro.g_ram features many U 8 musicians in performance.
The Foss program is a production of
WGBH in Boston and was taped in Buffalo in August, 1982, with the assistance
of production personnel from Channel
17.-WGBH producers chose Buffalo as a
taping site, owing to Foss' many associations with Buffalo and with the University. A distinguished figure in contemporary music, Foss once led the Buffalo
Philharmonic and also co-founded the
now defunct U B Center of the Creative
and Performing Arts, an internationally~
re_cognized center for new music perfor-

mance and stud y.
The 30-minute show will include a performance of Foss' Three Airs f or Frank
O 'Hara 's Angel, a work for fem ale chorus, soprano soloiSA.:, _JJiano, percussion
and guitar. Performe.rs include, under
Foss' direction, a len-woman UB Choir,
prepared by facult y member Dr. Harriet
Simons; UB trained soloist Lois Stipp;
pianist and UB faculty member Carlo
Pinto; and Jan Williams, well-known
percussionist and UB Music chairman
for whom Foss wrote the electrifying
Curriculum Vitae With Time Bomb.
The tapings took place in Slee Hall and
also in Channel 17 studios. Monday
night's program will also include an

The research group is involved in both
fundamental and applied studies. During
an interview, Kowalczyk, in hesitant English, emphasized the importance of
chromatography in. research and industry. (Chromatography is a process in
which a chemical mixture carried by a
liquid or gas is separated into its

The energy future:
By WENDY-CONLIN
isagreeing mainly on the value
of nuclear power and on how
much oil remains in the world ,
Lucius Gilman of the Scientists and Engineers for Secure Energy and
James MacKenzie of the Union of Concerned Scientists went into the ring for
several rounds of heated debate concerning "Your Energy Future - More or
Lcss1" Tuesday, November L
Before a crowd ofabout60 in Knox 20,
Gilman said there is a plentitude of oil,
but still urged the use of nuclear energy
and other energy sources in the future.
Opponent MacKenzie pleaded an increasing and urgently pending sc.a rcity of petroleum and warned of the dangers and
costs of nuclear energy usc. He emphasized improved efficiency and usc of
renewable. energy sources over the
nuclear alternative.
Gilman maintained that the rise i.n oil
prices bas cut down on use and that that
"'puts us in a good position- there is no
shortage of petroleum we have
e.nough to last us until we don'- have to
worry about it. ...
He said, however, that there arc good
reasons to conserve and that ..without
great effort, we are in a position to elimi·
nate the possibility of severe trade deficit
by substitUte forms of energy."
•
He included on his energy agenda for
the future both nuclear and renewable
forms of energy. saying, .. There is no reason to exclude any energy source - we
can choose each where it is appropriate ·
and economical."
MacKenzie agreed that oil consumption bas decreased, and also credited it to
economic reasons, but he refused to
accept the oil figuics Gilman provided. "I
don't know where he gets those values for
oil but the United States is not the only
country that needs it. There will be global
scarcity in 20 years- we will have to find
substitutes for oil:"

D

ather than nuclear encrp. however,
MacKenzie lookl mamly toward
improved efficiency and renewables,such
auolar and 'Windmill energy, 'With coal as
a pouiblc transitional energy source.
MNuclcar eaergy bu too many economic
and teclmical drawbacks," be arpecl.
Cbarp1 tbat nuclear eaergy is exc:aliwly expeDiive wer"e dismiued by GilmaJl u beitll the b.Yl!rocllld of "too much

larp e&amp;peadltures tbat cannot be

avoided . .. Many times even after a nuclear
power plant is built, it is still more economical to let it stand unused than to put
it into operation," be emphasized.
As for potential dangers of nuclear
energy, Gilman dismissed them. It's
mostly "a psychological thing - people
feel a certain way based on what they-dg
or don 'I understand ." He maintained that
scientists assess the risks and act accord·
ingly. " Most scientists favor the usc of
nuclear energy - the risk is small compared to other (energy forms)," he said .
No, said MacK.enue, the dangers are
reaL "Three Mile Island showed th e general public how a utility could lose two
million dollars in one day. They don't
want to face the risk of a major accident
- and there could be worse accidents
than that one - causing technical and
economic problems."
He also claimed that scientists have no
solid way to calculate risks- it is done by

nucl~ar

or not?

a Probable Risk Assessment method
.. whose absolute values have been disputed ," he noted. uThis system permits
abuse to obtain desirable results so scien·
tists can justify the nuclear work."
Although the two agreed that toxic
waste problems could be solved, MacKenzie viewed the dilemma ina more com·
plex way tban Gilman. Gilman felt waste
problems could easily be solved if tbe
issue were not treated as a upolitical football." "We undcntand the problem well
- but the two political parties have
squabbled over the actual doing of it."
The procedure, according to Gilman,
has been known and under development
since the 1950's although scie•tists bad
no need for it until the 1980's because of
the slow formation of toxic residues. It
entails reprocessing, returning plutonium
and uranium for making more fue~d
converting the remaining solution intlf I'

Senate pla~s full debate on Arts &amp; Sciences
DEAR COLLEAGUES:
The recent discussion on the floor oft be Senate of the issues related to the formation of
a College or Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as well as other matters concerned in the
recommendations of the Vice· President for Academic Affairs, clearly demonstrates
the need for a full and open debate and discussion of these matters by the Faculty. To
my mind , there could hardly be a matter of more impact on the immediate and
long-range future of our University, from both an academic and administrative view.
To this end, with the advice, consent and support of the Faculty Senate Executive
Committee, I propose to devote the entire Senate meeting of Dec. 13, 1983, to the
discussion and debate of the issue ofthe possible formation of a College or Faculty of
Arts and Sciences. In order to provide as full a discussion of this matter as is practical,
1propose that all members of the Voting Faculty be invited to attend and that those who
choose to do so be given the opportunity to address the Senate on this issue.
Further, in order to provide the faculty with appropriate background information
and foci for the alternate sides of this issue, I have asked that the Task Force Reports
on the Arts and Sciences, and on the Colleges(bccausc, in my view, they are related to
some degree) be published (or republished as the case may be). I have prevailed upon
two faculty (Profs. Barry and Welch) to prepare position papers summarizing -the
position for and against the direct and immediate establishment of a Faculty of Arts
&amp; Sciences. These papers will be published in the Rtporttr at such a time that the
entire faculty may have an adequate opportunity to digest their import, and make their
views known to their Senators on this 1ssue prior to the meeting. Should faculty have
vieWi on this matter which they wish to make known for inclusion in the position
papers, I urge them to communicate directly with Profs. Barry, Welch, (or both) as
appropriate.
·
The Faculty Senate Executive Committee transmits the following resolution to the
floor of the Senate for debate and vote: T11r Foculty S&lt;&gt;M" rrrommrruls to tltt

bile agreeing tb~t a "slow, knowledgeable and open" handling of
nuclear wastes could alleviate the problem, MacKenzie still voiced concern
over the danger of small countries acquiring these wastes and using them in
weapons.
Improvements to the nuclear energy
system as a whole suggcsteil by MacKe n!
zie included standardized plants of highq;
quality with bette~ operators. But he
added, "The track record bas not been
good. It's hard to be optimistic about the_
nuclear alternative."'
In tum , Gilman criticized MacKenzie•s
emphasis on solar and wind power since
they are "useless if tbe sun or wind isn 'I
there."
MacKenzie pointed to the success of
windmills in California in support of his

US energy gluttony threatens the planet, Brower contends
unanimous conclusion: 'Next time - no
brains·.·

By BRUCE S. KERSHNER
conomists and America's
insatiable appetite for energy sbare a large part of the
responsibility for tbe world~
mititary confrontations.
So said David Brower, perbaps tbe
world~ best lrnown and most charismatic
environmentatist, in his keynote address
for UB's Energy Conservation Week.
Speaking at Katbarine Cornell Theatre
last Thursday night, November 3, be
focused on tbe role tbat ener4&gt;'
consumption and economic forces play m
both global security and global ecology.
Ntcknamed by his admirers as "the
greatest and only an:hdruid, • Brower has
been the founder and leader of numerous
orpniations, programs and issues for SO
yeaB .. His iiJ!Pressi"': lepcy includes:
fouodina the 1ntemattonal organization
known as Friends of the Earth tbe
I..Qaue of Conservation VoteB: the
Sierra Club Foundation, Eanh Island
Institute and the Fate of tbe Earth
Conference; takinf the lead in
estabtishing the Nat10nal Wilderness
Pracrvation System; the federal Land

Fund

ea.,.;

Redwoods National Park, and the
Cod, Fire Island, Kings Canyon and
North Cascades National Parks. and in
saving Grand Canyon from being
dammed; directing or cbairing tbe Sierra
Club (19S2~). Friends of tbe Eanh
(1969-83), and the Natural Resources
Council (1955-57). In April. be was
elected to the Sierra Club Board.
Brower, 71,explained that the nation's
economisu bave put far too much stress
on energy conservation. The result bas
not only been environmental
degradation, but a de pc::rate prcoccupa·
tio n with majntaining our foreign tnergy
supplies by whatever means necessary.
~c toint~d out that our recent military
mtcrventaons are as much related to economic concerns for stable oil supplies as
they are to political concerns. Grenada.
for instance. lies along a crucial oil route
while Lebanon is an integral part of the
Middle Ea.st.the largest foreign source of
oil.
n eminently quotable peBOnality,
Brower emphasized his point about
economisu with a joke. • A doctor, lln
architect and an economist were
debating about which of their professions
wu tbe oldest. T)&gt;e doctor reptied, 'It
took a doctor to perform an "Evectomy"
to Jet Eve out of Adam.' The tlrchitect
retorted, 'It took an architect to create tbe
uniVCBC out of cbaos.' The economist
responded limply, 'And who do you
tbint created c&amp;aosr •
The current environmental and
enerJY crisis, according to Brower,
accelerated greatly wben Russia bep.n
the "Gross
ational Product Race. •
"Tbe U.S. did not want anyone to bave a
posaer: national product tban 111, so we
l~ i':'to the race .. . and Japan won
Jt,. he said.
To sustain our GNP, Reap~~ bas said
be wiD military force to prcwnt
anyoee . from illtemlptiaa our CIICrJY
supply. Baides iu effect on intenl&amp;lional
ICtllioos, our enerp punoay. Brower
commented, is caUIJIII 111 to madly rip up

Dauid Brower

which now operates in 26 countries. He
has served u chairman ever since.
rower believes that energy
conservation would contribute in a
B
major way to atleviatioa the ioteanl
problems of Jlobal security, enerl)l
supply and env~ronmental dearadation.
The U.S. uses a shoeldnJ one-tbird of
tbe world's ene~. West Germany,
Sweden, Great Bntain and two other
countries with similar standards of tiving
use only half the energy per capita as the
U.S. If they can do this without
endanaerina their economies. so can we.
Brower pointed out. If we tau&amp;)Jt
ouBCives to use less energy, our national
security concerns and need for military
confrontations would be reduced and
environmental intearity less threatened.
He presented examples of how we
could reduce our enerl)' demands.
Changing our •automobiles from
automatic transmission back to manual
transmiuion would make a real
difference. The use of automatic
transmissions bas to date uocd u much
oil u tbat discovered in Prudhoe Bay.
Alaska, the most productive ..-nt oil
fteld in tbe U.S. If we brought our
machine efficiency back to the level of
1945, we could do with one less audear
reactor. "I think that's certainly
technologically feasible." Brower
remarlted smiling. •tr "" ate one-third
leu meat, we'd lipif'JC&amp;ntly reduce the
need for muaive enerJY now devoted to
plantiJI&amp;. irriplinJ, fertiliziDJ and
paticidill&amp; animal feed crop&amp;, as weU as
tbat uaed in the procaaiDJ and
transportinJ of meat producu. On land
coaverted from animal crop&amp; to huma'n
~ crops. w could produce ten
tina as mucb food . • These and other
eumpla could be adopted in addition to
the more familiar e!ICrJY conservation
mctbodJ now praC1iced tn tbe home and

auto.

Quoting from Ian Mcbarg1 "DesiJD•
With Nature." he shared a arim joke.
"The final nuclear exchange bas
occurred and the earth is co•'Cred with a
thin gray pall. All life has been
exliDJuished, save for a single colony of
algae lucked away in a deep crevice where
they were protected from the blll.\1. They

Some of his other honors include the
National Parks Association Award, the
Golden Ark Award from the Prince of
tbe Netherlands, the John Muir Award
from the Sierra Club and many others . In
addition. he has received honorary
degrees from Hoban and William Smith
Colleges. University of San Francisco
and thrc:&lt;O otheB, and was visiting seholar
or professor at several more universities.
~!though he. speaks out frequently on
national ~unty ~nd .the energy c.risis.
Brower still matntaans an intim;ae
relationship with the natural world and
his beloved wilderness areas of the Far
West.
No arm~hair environmentalist. David
Brower has led thousands of people on
treks in to remote wilderness areas. as well
as 32 of the first mountain climbing
ascents to the summiu of America's
western peaks. At age 64, he climbed to
18.000 fc:&lt;Ot on Mt. Everest.
Quotes about David 8rowerare aswe ll
known IS those be himself aenerates.
Brower especially likes what the former
c hairman of the Council of
Environmental Quality, Rus ell Train
said of him. "Thank Gnd for Da...:
Brower; he makes it o easy for the rest of
us to appear reasonable.·
The mo 1 lamou quote about him is
on a citation awarded to him by the Kina
School lor the Minist ry, which says:
"David R. Brower - charismatic
leader or crusades for theliberationofthe
temple of nature from iu opprcnor ·

UB research may result in vaccine for major health problem
By MARY BETH SPINA

A

collaborative effort by two UB
researchers may point the way
to a vaccine which will control

Schistosomiasis , a major

health problem in many underdeveloped
parts of the world.
An estimated 500 million people a re
affected by the disease which is prevalent
among rural populations in Third World
countries ind in sections of Puerto Rico,
China, Japan and the Philippines.
The djsease is caused by parasitic
blood nukes, which develop in snails living in freshwater lakes and riverS. After
being released by the sna il, the parasites

enter unbroken skin of human victims
who use the water for cooking, bathing
and swimming. Once inside the skin, they
migrate to the liver.
..
During this migration, the parasites
mature into adult male or female worms
which mate and produce 300-3000 fertilized eggs daily per worm pair. The eggs
and the host's immune response to them ·
lead to obstruction of interior blood flow
over a long period of time as well as to

g~~~~ ~~fc~licv;~i~~~t:;'~j!~= =~~

death. The disease, however, is curable in
those not constantly te-exposed to the
. parasite.
"Schistosomiasis,~ says Phillip Lo-

Verde, Ph.D., a n associate professor of
microbiology, "is not only a serious
health problem but contributes indirectly
to poor-'economic conditions in an estimated 72 nations. ..
Prof. LoVerde and his colleague,
David Rekosh, Ph. D., assistant professor of biochem istry, point out that only
through pooling their expertise has the

DNA. he notes. is it now possible to combine the skills of one member of the team
trained in classical parasitology with
those of the other in molecular biology.
"We bring to this project different
skills and d ifferent perspectives, merging
two d isci plines. This is imponant because
creating an effective vaccine is a complex
problem,~ Prof. Rekosh adds.
he joint research is supported by
grants totaling almost $500,000 from
the National Instit ute of Allergy and

Though the UB researchers point out
that their work is in its infancy, they are
opti mistic that a vaccine can be
developed.
Specific proteins, which engender a
human immune response, can be fo und
on the surface of the young developing
parasite. The genes encoding these proteins can then be isolated and t ranslated
into proteins in bacteria, using the latest
of recombinant DNA methods. Once isolated, th e proteins, as well as their chemically synthesized fragments , will be tested
as vaccines. Another approach involves
identifying the proteins responsi ble for
egg production in the female parasite an1:1

"The app roach we are {aking today
would not have been feasible five yea·rs

because of the technological revolution in
molecular biology and reco mbinant

considered practical as a means of controlling the disease in endemic areas, ..
says Prof. LoVerde.
.. Medication is costlyanq would not be
effCClive in controlling the disease in
ind ividuals who face constant ·re·exposure to the parasite in the water ... he
points ouL And controUing the snail
population is equally impractical because
molluscicides are expensive and have
negative environmental effects.
Interestingly, while many world health
problems such as smallpox are being
brought under control, Schistosomiasis
is increasing in prevalence and intensity
of infection primarily because of
attempts by i;leveloping nations to
improve the quality of life of their
citizens.
Often this means industrialization
which cannot be accomplished without
hydroelectric power which calls for building dams. The dams impound large
bodies of water and provide a favorable
habitat for the vector snails.
"Therefore ,~ Prof. Rekosh points out,
.. work on development of a vaccine for
Schistosomiasis is very timely. It's an
exciting time for parasitology ...
The UB researchers look for many new
developments,· not only in Schistosomiasis research, but in research on a number
of other parasitic diseases in the next few
years.

pervasive arttst1c norms of abstract
expressionism and the tike. "He spoke to
us with Neapolitan gusto of Goya. of
Rem brant, of'drawing like a lion, if a lion
could draw.' He always urged the artist to
work with those subjects which were
closest to his soul. ... In these talks, I
came to think that it would be possible
for me to make the large sculptures of the
Holocaust which I did in the sixties."
Like others in the show, Offner has
received several prestigious awards; be
has also lent a bronze portrait depicting
both his son Daniel and St. Francis of
Assisi as a boy.
I..oaile Jlooor&amp;eolo, the septuagenarian
French-born American artist who was
the subject of a recent 'l'lrospective show
at the Museum of Modern Art, is perhaps
the mosi prominent artist represented.
She is known f9r highly personal, idiosyncratic worts. many with heavy feminist or sexual overtones. As Grace
Glueck of 1M New York Times puts it,
Bourgeois is &amp;n artist who explores her
psyche at considerable risk." Included
here is the bronze, white patina Portrait
of Robert, perhaps a study of the late art
historian Robert Goldwater, whom she
had met and married in Europe.
Equally personal in her approach is
Naac:y Grooiiii&amp;D, whose R.A. D .. of
06

carved wood with mixed media. is a
highly particularized self-portrait, or as
Grossman puts it, "a portrait oftbe self as
other... Adds Grossman, who was one of
Ha~r "s &amp;ztHir S*IOO Young Women in

make the physical object, human feelings
become recognizable. A confrontational
tens:ion is set up and the work elicits a
response. ...

prescient. "I think ideal conceptual forms
are not real, nor true. but are rather like
caricatures in literature. In all of my
sculpture I look for the individual varieties that warp and blur the universal.
They are structure veiled with chaos ....
Another gentle port.rait is Nancy
Deluler's Tina, a 12-incb terra cona
work. Writes Denzler in equally gentle
prose: .. The human condition has been
my primary concern. I t ry to emphasize
certain parts of the natural figure while
leaving out others in the desire to express
something which nature hides - in order
to visualiu the d ignit y and vulnerability
of the human being."
Also included is Head. a 1955 ceramic
piece by Alice Noel, the well-known painter and sculptor whose work is included
in-tlli;collections of the Museum of Modern An and the Whitney Muse um a.nd
whose creations have been tho subject of
a- long article by N~M.·sw~~k critic Jack

The •effort is toucb.ing becau~ (it is)
fu tile; the self always intrudes. Perhaps
this dilemma is what makes portraiture
so d ifficult and so very inle.restina,"
writesTovisb who visited UB in 198 1 and
helped organize the current show.
Perhaps the most eloquent analysis of
modem figurati\'e portrait sculpture
comes rrom Boston anist Davkl Aroeson, who has provided two bro nz.e scul~
ted port rai ts of students. The Lithuanianbom sculptor states that .. havi n1 grown
up in a religion th at rejected tbefiaurative
image, I have found it nece ary to
fashion graven forms. And having developed as an artist in a period when the
figurative image was no lonae r taken
seriously, ! have fo und it nece ary to'use
it as the essential focus of my work ....
" If this be sacrilege then let such profani ty enrich what is nc.rcd ... he concludes.
The ex hibit marks the rc-op&lt; nins of
BcLhune Gallery after extensi,,c renovation and will extend through December 7.
Hours ar' noon 10 4 p.m., MondayFriday, and 6-9 p.m. on T hu rsday. Th&lt;

The Gullible
are everywhere
By ANN WHITCHER
nternational belief in the paranormal varies, but represe ntatives from
Mexico, Canada, Holland, Britain,
France and Australia agreed that
unquestioning acceptance of these beliefs
is a velring problem for skeptics
everywhere.
During a session on the state of international paranormal belief, Mexico's
Mario Mendcz-Acosta, current events
commentator for Channel 13 in Mexico
City, said his country, like other Third
World nations, is the meeting ground for
"very ancient customs and styles of life"
and "totally modern habits and forms of
existence." He explained that "in many
regions, the belief in very influential and
· fearsome local gods· still persists alongside magical' convictions that range from

I

---------------------·

the picturesque to the
hair-raising."
However, MendezAcosta added, Mexico is still prey to a
.. new irrationality
imported, especially
in the last three
decades, from the
United States. This
new urban irrationality, the one of the
religious sects, pscude&gt;science and modern
charlatanry is spreading rapidly now aU
over the C~)Untry. "
Mendez-Acosta
reported that "all
over the most important Mexican cities,
there have appeared
hundreds of health
food stores. Bran,
which is normally thrown away as mere
waste, is sold there as if it were gold dust.
Thjc same happens with molasses, magical pyramids, Ma Evans' hair restorers
a nd other garbage. Each one has, of
course. a little esoteric bookstore."
Continued Mcndcz-Acosta, who has
written extensively on paranormal beliefs .
for the Mexican press: "Belief in UFO's
and in their extraterrestrial o rigi n is
exploited by several groups and individuals who publish three or four national
magazines and maintain a semi-reHgious
group that aiJcacdly, is in· continuous
contact with extraterrestrials. Tbcsc
aliens furnish them with valuable infotmation concerning adVanced techniques
in meditation . .. but no technical information whatsoever (in support of these
meditation techniques hu been pre&gt;vidcd) . Which is very unfortunate
indeed."
Like other speaker$, Mcndcz-Acosta
criticized the role of tht media in spreading belief in paranormal phenomena.
"The private Mexican TV network ...
hu opened a non-&lt;:ommen:ial 'cultural'
TV channel called 'The Joy of Culture, •in
which not only utrology, but almost any
kind of pseudo-science and the wildest
supeBtiuons can lind warm refuge and
ample and uncritical diff~ion. "

"the print ~nd broadcasting media" are

also. He llfllled that not only sensational

related that, as a former "Canada AM"
guest who bad straightened out Uri
Geller keys, he had requested equal time
after "Canada AM" aired a report on
animal mutil.itions allegedly taking place
in Alberta. Gordon was given the brush·
off by show producers, as had happened
in many other cases r.clatcd here by the
Canadian columnist.
elief in the paranormal isn't much
different in The Netherlands, said
B
Piet Hein Hocbcns, editorial writer for
Holland's De Te/egraaf "Holland has a
surplus of so-called psychic detectives, to
the point that they have become something of an export article," he said, ··but
there is a definite shortage of poltergeist
cases, and also the Flying Saucer is sadly
under-re presented.
" Holland is probably unique in that,
back in the 1950s, the Queen officially
received George Adamsky at the Royal
Palace for an eyewitness report on current affairs on Venus. but no resident of
the Kingdom has ever been granted the
privilege of a UFO-abduction and, for
some reason, these extraterrestrials given
to the disconcerting habit of cattle mutilation will not touc h our cattle." Hoebens
said. however, that skeptics must not
reject paranormal claims ..on a priori
grounds antecedent to inquiry ....
lso criticizing the media ·s role 'in
spreading paranormal belief was
Michael Hutchinson. a British busi nessman and writer on paranormal belief. He
commented that "the saddest thing to tell
you is that even the BBC and some of the
better quality newspapers have climbed
on the psychic bandwagon. The BBC lias
more uncritical paranormal items than
do the in~cpendc nt television channels.
BBC's 'Breakfast Tunc' show even has its
daily dose of horoscopes. Its astrologer
has become quite a personality, appearing in other programs &amp;S-.a..-1:clcbrity
guest."
Hutchinson also criticized the BBC

ichcl Rouzc, editor of -1{u, journal
of the. French Association for
Scientific Information, said thcr.c arc few
d ifferences in French paranormal belief
and many more similarities to worldwide belief generally. "There is an almoct
total absence of any reScnnce to the bclicf
in the paranormal • in the academic
world," he commented. Also, there
docsn\ exist in France either a university
research center nor a teaching program
for paranormal phenomena. "The average attitude (in university scttinp) is
rather one of agnosticism-or indifference
tinged with eclecticism when confronted
with contradictory opinions ...
But the attitude is a different one in the
French media. Rouze related, with "a
large pan of programs allotted to paranormal ideas on all forms." Rouze noted
that at the end of 1979, the national radio
station, France-Culture, orpnizcd a conference in Cordova, Spain, on "'Science
and ConscieDcc." The pcnons invited,
however, were "carefully selecled for
their beliefs ia the paranormal." the

paranormal beliefs, for instance, arc
more widely accepted in this more arid

Despite the recent debunking of

unpretentious reasoning for his love ofthe human face and its

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

Q

he Committee for the Scientific Jnvesti~tion of
Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) IS, as iu
founder UB Professor Paul Kurt z describes it . o n
the front line of the battle between reuon and
scientific inquiry on the one hand and what he calls
" magical superstitions. " on the other . Belief 1n the
paranormal and occult, psyc hic phenomena , ESP.
astrology and extraterrestrials is rampant. the professor notes. Kurtz, who ha s also fo unded a gro up
to examine crilically the claims of religaon and the
Bible (particularly those advanced by the new fundamentalists) is concerned that the paranormal and
the occult are becoming the new folk religion.
Eighty per cent of Americans believe in ESP and ps)'chic phenomena, Kurtz notes; .. 56 per cent think U FOs arc extratcri-estrial.
29 per cent believe in utrology - it may be t~ lai'gest sed or
denomination in the country ...
lfthat's so, then the group that met at UB Fnda y and Saturday
forthefirst international meeting ofCSICOP might well be called
Th-e Rational Minorit y. They came from Great Britam. Europe
and the U.S. - hard-thinking. s keptical men and women
gathered together to describe the extent of belief in the paranormal in their countries, to hear James Randi and his cohons tell
how they fooled serious psychic researchen, to listen as a man
from tbe FBI described his theories on the highly publicized
.. animal mutilat ions- in the West (the G-men don't believe creatures from outer space did it). Paranormal heaJth cures. star maps
and other beliefs of the paranormal came under critical diJcussion
uwcll.
People (not tbese , obviously) need to know. Jays Kurtz. "that
biorhythms haven' been tested, that tbe moon does not lead to
madness. that you ean"l match sun sians with pick.ina your mate.
that people can' regress to earlier conditions throusb hypnosis ,
and that tbere has been no evidence found of a UFO base in tbe
Atlantic near what is known as the Bermuda Trianale ...
We all enjoy fiction , uys Kuru. but we should know what iJ
fiction and what is real. In tbe nuclear age. it makes a difference.

_Project Alpha fooled
·sloppy scientists

"F

By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

rom an ego po int of view,
there was nothing li ke that
sense of power, of having
people's li ves in your hands ...
So spoke Michael Edwards in
describing his life as a "psychic" to an
audience composed primarily of skeptics
and sympathizers at Frida y's nigh t's
panel discussion of .. Project Alpha"
during the CSICOP meeting here .

- - The project was an elaborat e
Cipenment, demonstration, hoax , fraud,
immoral deception - it has been described as1 all of these - o rganized by
J ames Randi. th e magician whose
personal quest seems to be ri dding th e
world of conjurors wh o are posing as
mystics and psyc hics, o ft en at great
personal finan cial gain to themselves.
Project Alpha 's target was th e
McDonnell Laboratory for Physical
Research at Washington University in St.
Louis, MO. It was established in 1979
with a half-million-&lt;lollar grant from the
McDonnell Foundation (established by
James S . McDonnell, board chairman of
McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft) for the
purpose of doing "research into any or all
oft he phenomena regarded as psychic by
professionals working in the field, for
example, by members of the Para psychological AssociatiOn," as an information
sheet prepared by lab personnel describes
it.
The lab is directed by Dr. Peter R .
Phillips, professor of physics, a nd is
administered within the university
through the Department of Physics.
Randi hl\d been . debunking selfdescribed psychics, including Uri Geller,
for years before the establis hment of the
McDonnell Laboratory. Proponents of
parapsychology have long claimed that
their experiments are impossible to
duplicate under tightl y co ntrolled,
04
Unfriendly" conditions, he said , ana
added that another reason given for the
lack of verification of psyc hic "events"
bas been lack of funding. With the generous McDonnellarant, however, and the
"friendly" atmosphere generated by
researchers seeking to prove that psychic
phenomena , including psychokinetic
mctal..bending and psychic photography,
do exist, it seemed that such verification
could be achieved .
riling to Phillips shortly after the
·Jab was founded, Randi offered
his services in experiments and suqalcd
that profeslional magicians, or ""conjurors ," be present at the testing of subje&lt;:ts
to detect any trick:ecy. According to
Rand i, Phillips refused his offers of help
and did not implement his s uueotions.
Randi soon came in contact with two
young men, Steve Shaw, then 18, and
Michael Edwards, 17, who had offered
their services in exposing "fak:e"psychi&lt;:s.
Thus, Project Alpha was born.
Shaw and Edwards, under Randi 's

W

tut elage, conta cted the Mc Do nnell La b
posing as psychics a nd offered to be
tested . Randi had set down seve ral rules
for their conduct there. one of which
being that if they were eve r as ked directl y,
" Is this a trick?, " they were to re spo nd ,
''Yes, and I was sent here by Randi."
But in the 3'lS: years during which the
two boys were sporadically tested at th e
lab, they were never - by Phillips' o wn
admission - as ked poi nt-blank if they
were fakes. The y did co nvince the
McDonnell resea rchers that th ey co uld
indeed - with their ps ychic po wers bend spoons, cause fuses to blo w, rotate
spinners under gl ass d omes a nd ca use
weird but s ugg es tive images to ap pear o n
fi lm.
When Rand i re vea led Project Alpha a t
a press conference and made headlines
arou nd the world , parapsychol ogists and
their sympat hizers were o ut raged . Eve n
at last weeke nd 's conference, members of
the au die nce criticized Rand i for the project. Tom Valone, a UB graduate student
who teaches physics at Erie Co mmu nit y
College and is a friend of Phillips, made a
public comment during the discussion
period that Phillips, who was invited but
did not attend the conference, did not
appear because he was sure he would not

"No one
ever asked:
Is this
a trick?"
.
o

be treated fairly .
Valone distributed a repo rt written by
Phillips, in which he criticized Project
Alpha as involving "conspiracy and
extensive fraud and deception." Phill i"ps
added , however, echoing Randi 's comments, that he considered Project Alpha
""a s uccess" because it made him and
other researchers establish more rigid
controls in their experiments.
Much had feel inJIIillexiots, however,
over what some - even those not alto&amp;ether sympathetic with parapsycboiOSY
- fed were Randi'* ·o-ltill" methods.
Shaw said heotill"fedssaddcaodaod burt
by the hostility he bas recei....S from
parapsychologists aod their auoc:i&amp;les .
since Project Alpha wu rewalcd.
"They were good people," he said,
"only too &amp;Wiible."
Project AlpiJa " had to be done," both
youna men aaree. ...
"When I was a 'psychic,'" Shaw.said,
" people sent me money. They asked me to
bless them."

e described one "'"faith heale r" he
had hea rd Randi denounce - Jim
Jones .
.. P sychics can be be dangerous ," he
comme nted . "I'd rather be a mentalist
a nd be honest. "
" It really scares you, .. Edwards agreed .
"The Nat ional Enquirn did a story abou t
my ' psychic po wers.' As so on as it was
out, I received tons of mail, people asking
for lucky numbers, lost child ren. People
were basicall y asking me to help them
guide their lives. The whole psychic field
is awfully scary. Hold ing people'S lives in
yo ur hand s - it was too easy to mess up."
The boys were co nstantly amazed by
people's eagerness and willingness to
believe in what t hey considered mere
trickery. Even after Project Alpha was
rrvealed, so me people including
paraps yc ho logists - asked them , " How
do yo u kno.- you don' have psyc hic
powers?" Even with the ir present not oriet y, Edwa rds said , th ey could repeat
the ir decepti on and ha ve psychic
"resea rchers" believing their powers are
real.
Shaw was es pecially horrified, he told
the audience, when he learned that before
he was revealed as a cohon of Randi, a
psychic had told the very ill daughter of a
Freudian pH&amp;psychologist that he could
seehis - Shaw'S - "aura"andthatithad
healed the girl. And she believed the man.
Shaw and Edwards demonstrated several tricks, such as bending forks and
spoons aod "read in&amp; miods." Randi

"You're la ughing now," he said , .. but if
yo u were there , and you weren't skilled in
conj uril!tryou'd be fooled. too."
"Projel:t Alpha wasn' j ust a test in
parapsychology," Edwards added , " but
m psychology. Wedidn,just walk in and
do tricks, but took hours and hou rs to
break down their resistance. As soon as
their attention broke d own, that was
when a lot of stuff started to happen."
andi emphasized that he is in favor
of research in parapsychology. a s
long as it is done with proper controls a nd
with a high degree of scie nt ific
skepticism.
··we 've been· acc u sed o f sett i ng
research bac k," he said, "but we didn, .
We just brought it into 1982."
Before the Project Alpha d iscussion,
Randi introduced Arthur Benjamin, a
black-haired senior at Cornell Universit y
and self-.described Mment.ali.st." Benjamin
demonstrated his a bility to ·perform
mathematical computations at an amazingly quick speed, often more quickly
than t he five audience members wtth calculat ors he had called onstage with him.
Apparently, however, even the abilit y

Snippy
Dead horse helped
rescue UFO crowd
from doldrums
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
n September 7, 1967, Snippy,
a three-year-old horse. was
found dead.
According to Associat~d
Press ~ounts of the equine tragedy,
Snoppy s corpse has been "sunned below
the neck" and no blood or tracks were
discoYered at the scene ofthe "mysterious
crime," although IS "circula.r exhaust
marks" were.
Following the horse's untimely and
puzzling demise. a forester allegediy
found extraordinarily high radiation·
levels around the carcass and Snippy's
owner attributed the death "to flying
saucers." Since Snippy's owner and tJis
87-year-old mother"see something in the
sky every night .... extra-terrestrials must
be guilty.
As Snippy's saga appeared in more and
more Western states newspapers,
accounts of the hor.e's death became
even more stranse. After examining the
body, an unnamed DenYer pathologist
termed tbe deatb "unexplainable."
However, by the time a Colorado State
Ullivenity patbolo&amp;iJt examined the
corpac and attributed. the deatb to
•natural, prou.ic~" e&amp;IIICI. a new
mountain lore of allimal mutilaton from

No "evidence," that iJ, until Snippy.
"To support the 'ET Hypothesis,'
people began pointing to dead farm
animals, supposedly killed with surgical
precision," Klass said, noting that as the
number of •animal mutilation cues·
grew, so did media attention, which
linked the animals' deaths to everything
from covert government expc:rimenu to
little peen men. The only caUJCS for tbc
stranac deaths which were downplayed,
K.Jus said, were the most probable natural causes aod j or predaton, as tbc

The findinp of bis year-Ion&amp; search confirmed the scientific community's natural

Professor offers guidelines
for deans &amp; senior administrt;ltors*
any. of the ~Guidelinesfl
below are based upon occurrences which took place over
the last two yean. It would
be a shame if the techniques employed
were to be lost. Therefore, I have attcmp. ted to codify a set of procedures and ad vices for the benefit of all. I must admit that
there remain recalcitrant Administrators
who have remained thougbtfu~ efficient
and helpful. To these misguided souls,
clearly out of step with the times, I
recommend serious study of the "Guidelines." Those already cxpett in the techniques need only give them a quick readi"' to make certain that they have not
missed useful ploys.
1• If a faculty member requests an
action which is not strictly routine,
reject it ·immediately. If the faculty
member persis!f, (a) _don' call back;
(b) cxpla1n that nothing can be done.
In the latter case, be sure to place the
blame on Albany. If the faculty

that you have discovered a loophole
and that you11 sec what can be done.
Then carry out the original request
and claim credit for showing initiative and imagination.
If there is a crisis, don' wait. Panic
immediately!
Make decisions only after ample discussion with other administrators
who agree with you or who are easily
persuaded. Make sure that the people to be affected arc not consulted.
They only complain and make trouble anyway.
Make sure your office is well
equipped with copy machines and
word processors. Plan to increase
paper output by 40 per cent per year.
If necessary, increase the number of
internal memos. ln this way, you can
iustify a large office staff. It is especially rewarding if one of your documents generates a multi--copied reply.
Make your credo: "The larger your
staff, the less support staff needed by
academic depattments." If there are
complaints, generously offer to let
faculty members-usc your secretarial
and duplicating facilities in emergencies. The exercise in walking to your
office will do them goud. It should be
panicularly relaxing for busy faculty
members under pressure to meet

deadlines for · grant renewals .

6• Always have planni111 committees in
operation. It is useful to call such
committees "Task Forces." It doesn'
matter what they do as long as they
continue planni111. Indeed, such
committees should avoid reachi111
firm conclusions as that would only
start arguments with the Faculty.
Even worse, reaching conclusions
might require that some action be
taken.
·
7• If conclusions are made: (a) file them
immediately; (b) ignore them altogether; (c) write your own report
anyways.
8• When mak,ing ruJes, make sure to
write them up in obscure language so
that everyone is as confused as you
are.
9• Jump immediately to the defense of
your operations, no matter how justified a complaint or outrageous the
result of a mistake. "Lack of personnel"' and ..awaiting new instructions from Albany"' are time-proven
excuses. lf you misplace a document
or otherwise must delay your
reii!Onse, blame the computer or
e&amp;lllJ'US mail. With a little ingenuity,
you should be able to soothe all but
the--most persistent and aggravated
victi ms.
10e Make sure to have statistics to quote.
By judicious manipulation of the
available data, you should be able to
derive negative trends to prove to a
departme t that it has too many
faculty members and positive trends
to prove to Albany that more faculty
members are needed. If necessary,
you can use projections oft he data to
prove both at once.
1_1• Be careful about public announcements of reorgaruzation or newly
streamlined procedures. Such announcements may draw questions as
to what you were doing in the first
place as well as to your present function.
12- Departmental repotts should be
required pcrindically. Such reports
should not be so important as to
require action. One way to assure this
result is to request them just a few
days before they are due. Reports
should be placed in colored•folders
and labeled I , II, Ill, etc. for esthetic
purposes.

AIDS isn.'t a gay plague or Tot's Curse
By MARY KUNZ .
t's not "gay plague ,~ and it's not
"gay cancer." It's not even "King
Tut's Curse," despite what some of
the seedier newspapers would have
us believe. Since it was first described in
1981, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, commonly known simply as
AIDS, bas created a panic rarely seen
since the Black Plague.
To an extent, fear seems justified. ICs
true that AIDS, which strikes mostly
intravenous drug users, male homosexuals, Haitians, prison inmates, and hemophiliacs, is so far incurable. The number
of AIDS cas~s has soared to ·nearly
epidemic heights, doubling every year, so
that now there have been 2,259. AIDS ·
·ms in the United States. AIDS is a
gessive illness, and 60 per cent of
~ patients die within two years.
Bu Nhere'IUIO need to panic, according
to the barticipants in a conference last
week in Roswell Park's Research Studies
Center. Titled "AIDS: Fact and Fiction,"
the conference featured many eminent
local medical authorities and attempted
to "debunk" myths that have surrounded
AIDS.
"In order to' be a candidate for AIDS,
you have to belong to a high-risk group,"'
asserted Joyce Lucey, R.N., B.S.N.,
nurse epidemiologist from Roswell
Park's LallOratory Medicine Department.
Robert Scheig, M.D., professor of
medicine at U B, backed her up.
..There really is no more hazard in caring for people with AIDS than people
with any other disease,,. he pointed out.

I

.
i

n examining the myths and mysteries
of AIDS, tbe conference set about
answering a number of q'festions. What,
exactly. is AIDS? How is the disease
spread? What precautions can one take
for protection apinst it?
The first symptoms of AIDS vary from
person to person. They include night
sweats and fever (probably the two most
common signs) but can also include .
weight loss, coughing, swollen glands and
lymph nodes, rashes, and persistent and
unexplained diarrhea.
.. AIDS victims get a variety of things,"
said Scheig. "It's different in different
individuals."
What remains basically the same from
AIDS victim to AIDS victim is the eventual destruCtiveness of the disease. AIDS
is a blood disease, characterized by a
deficiency of white blood cells whose
duty it is to ward off disease. What causes
this deficiency, exactly, is unknown.
Since AIDS is a relatively newly observCd
disease, much remains to be learned
about it.

I

~Fundamentally, we don' know what
the disorder is," Scheig admitted. "We
may not be dealing with a new disease,
but that's probably the case."
Scheig explained that the current
treatment of AIDS is similar to the
treatment of hepatitis B. seemingly the
disease most similar to AIDS. So far,
though, AIDS remains incurable, with
many of its victims dying within two
years of its onslaught . Bec.use of their
inability to fight off distase, AIDS
patients are increasingly susceptible to
malignancies and a variety of ills.

11

ln AIDS
victims, we
have lepers
for the first
time in years.
This does
great damage."
l
- ROSS HEWI'IT, MD

Scheig deplored \ he high mortality
rate, but expressed hope that the situation would tmprove.
·
"I think probably the percentage will
go down, .. he said ... but still it is a very
significant mortality rate ...
hanks to the media publicizing the
alarming aspects&lt;&gt;f AIDS, there has
been widespread confusion about how
the disease can be contracted. Lucey
recalled 'how a Manhattan TV crew
refused to enter the office of a gay organization, afraid of contracting AIDS. A
Massachusetts woman. she related, was
so struck by panic that she wanted to
banish her gay son from her home. And
the New York State Funeral Directors·
Association once warned its members to
refuse to have anything to do with AIDS
victims. People were sure that AIDS
could be caught from everything from
toilet seats to doorknobs.
• I
Lucey stressed that AIDS, a blood disease, cannot be spread through routine
contact or through respiration (like the
flu). AIDS is transmitted through the

T

blood only. It can be caught by such
means as blood transfusions. swallowing
blood, or rectal contact. Lucey blamed
the panic of many people on the news
media 1 w~~:h played up the sensational
aspect~ sickness.
•
"People have been taking care of AIDS
victims since 1979, • she pointed out. "No
one caught it. Then the media stepped
in."
AIDS victims generally fall into six
high-risk categories. These groups are
male homosexuals, drug users, hemophiliacs, Haitians, female sex partners of
AIDS-infected males, and possibly prison inmates and children of AIDS victims. Male homosexuals owe their sus·
ceptibility to AIDS to often promiscuous
rectal contact,' which may involve blood
and may therefore spread the disease.
Intravenous drug users run the risk · of
unsterilized, infected needles. Hemophiliacs, victims of another blood disease,
often require frequent blood transfusions, which increase their risk of
contracting AIDS.
r. James Moho, director of UB's
Ernest Witebsky Center for lmmuD
nology,lamented that some people, terri-

lied of getting AIDS from blood transfusions, are leery of blood ban_ks · and
request ..direct donor" programs, in
which blood might be donated by friends
or relatives.
"People have requested, ' I want my
brother to give me blood-,'." he observed .
"Direct donor programs should not be
allowed - they create an illusion of
safety where none may exist. They arc
absolutely non-realistic ....
Direct donor programs. Mohn stated,
are harmful because they go against the
national blood-bank donor system.
.. It costs about three times as much as
normal," he explained , .. and widespread
use of direct donations will affect com·
plete blood-donor systems."
Cont.rary to what is · commonly
believed, low-risk people run a chance of
about one in a million of contracting
AIDS from an ordinary blood transfusion from a blood bank, even if a person
with AIDS has donated blood .
• Any potential AIDS blood is greatly
diluted in the blood bank," Moho
assured the audience. He added ttiat if
every bit of possibly-AIDS-infected
. blood were to be destroyed, it would destroy the blood-bank system as we know
it.
He warned against attempts to classify
blood. "The blood bank has traditionally
refused to sort blood out by race, or what
ever, .. he said ... Direct donation should
be refused on the grounds of societal and
legal reasons. history, aod safety. Our

blood donor system is still very safe."
here are, however. a number of ways
in which persons of high AIDS risk
and persons around AIDS victims may
protect themselves. Lucc:y suggested that
male homosexuals exerclse great caut1on.
"Watch your partners carefully," she
warned . "It may not be a bad idea to ask
about his history. And if you choose to
use drugs, wouldn' it be prudent to avoid
sharing intravenous equipment?"
Caring for AIDS victims involves little
risk, Lucey made clear, provided that
people avoid the blood of the patient.
.. An AIDS patient can share a room,
but not a bed," she advised hospital personnel. "Wash blood spills thoroughly
with bleach - just ordinary Cforox.
Always wear gloves when carrying bodily
ANYTHING, otherwise wash your
hands properly and thoroughly." Blood
spilled ori sheets, she explained, may be
· washed simply with bleach, along with
the rest of the laundry. Dishes used by a
person with AIDS may also be washed
easily in soap and water, and a little
bleach. ·
Personlll treatment of the AIDS victim
himself is also important.
"Hug and kiss on the face, not on the
lips," Lucey said. "But don\ isolate the
AIDS victims - they need love and
understanding just like the rest of us."

T

n his lecture on "psychological / social
implications of AIDS," Dr. Ross
IHewitt,
M.D., of the Buffalo AIDS Task
Force, spoke out against the isolation of
AIDS patients.
.. In AIDS victims, we have modern
lepers for the first lime in many years, "be
argued . .. Relatives and friends can't handle it and withdraw, and the patient is left
virtuaUy alcine when he needs his support
network the most.• Jsolation. he added, is
especiaUy damaging because it further
ruins an AIDS victim's self-areem.
..Self esteem is another criticf,l issue,...
he said . "Not all AID~tims h'ive positive self esteem (i.e., a~ut their homosexuality, drug habit. etc.) before AIDS.
let alone after. Should you personally
know an AIDS victim, be there for him."
Hewitt is a member of the Buffalo
AIDS Task Force, a group which has
been in existence only four months.
devoted to educating people about
AIDS. The organization plans an AIDS
telephone service: information line. and
other methods to enli,hten the public
about the mysterious dtsease.
"We must develop more education,
hold more educational sessions, to train
and sensitize people to problems of the
AIDS victim," Hewitt oaid.

But administrators at U Bare dedicated

Henderson stressed the need for some
students to feel a "small group identity.
At this University, it's easy to become
lost. When you're with others who leod
support, organize social activities and get
involved in the community. it can mean a

The family atmosphere of the Greek

ical Plant employees make the rounds,
using the only truck the program has eve r
known. an old garbage collector.
Sonntag said that in 1973 the Community Action Corps (CAC) came to the
Physical Plant and asked about starting a
program. A working relat io nship was
established. lt was decided th at CAC
would take care of the publici ty while
Maintenance lent the program the physical support it needed in order to work.
.. A lot of departments are conservation
conscious. They save paper and call once
a week to tell us they have some. They feel
the same way we do about the environment." Sonntag explained . Additional
paper is coUected from Main Street"s own
print shop and special bins have been
designed for it in order to ease tran er to
the garbage truck.
While the Main Street crew realizes
that off..,.,pus people use the recycling
bins, manpower and equipment limitations cause them to encourage only Uf 8
members to take advantage of the service.
Sonntag said that the Physical Plant does
not advertise the recycling program, leaving that up to CAC ~nd any other student
group interested.
onntag stressed the commitment of
the Physical Plant to doing its share
to maintain a healthy environment, even if
costs are not met or if it only breaks even.
Since most of the paper collected is
what"s called "mixed paper.· a conglomeration of various paper types, the University gets little money for its recycled
paper. Last year, for example, Main
tree! was paid about $133.50 for iu 100
ons o"f paper. However, there was a savoss of S 1313.50 on reduced incinerator
costs.
Labor cosu, truck repairs and other
expenses, however. eat up most of these
savings and the program just about
breaks even, according to Sonntag. Its
future, however, does not rest so much
with its profits as it does with the condition of the truck. which has been hauling
paper around the campus for ten years
and is not a good bet to last another
decade.
While the Amherst Campus Physical
Plant staff feel the same way about the
environment as their colleagues on Main
Street, there is no formal program at the
North Campus. According to Mainte·
nance Supervisor Lee Lemke, original
plannin&amp; for the Campus did not include

reparation for the 1983-84
basketball season bas begun,
and first . year coach Dan
Bazzani. a '65 graduate, is
working hard to make the UB Bulls an
exciting and successful team on the
court. With ·the graduation of last
year's top four scorers and th~ decision
of one other player to give up the
sport, Coach Bazzani faces the task of
restructuring the majority of the
lineup.
Of the three return ing members
from last season'$ team, two are
injured and one has limited experience. Greg Ross, a 6'0. guard, has
already reinjured .Pis knee which
required surgery last year and kept
him on the sidelines for the majority of
the season. "We still don' know the
extent of his injury, and we~re not too
optimistic... as far as his ability to play
in his condition ," Coach Bazzani was
unhappy to admit. 6'0• juruor guard
Jake Jordan, currently recovering
from an arm injury, is working torestore himself to top condition. The
third of last year's veterans, forward
Mike Florq.ak, is .a 6'4• sophomore
who will be one of the few experienced
members of the Bulls.
~The remainder of the team is cur&lt;Cl)tly being selected by _Coach Bazzanl. His top recruit, 67" junior Vince
Brown "is an o"utstanding prospect."
Brown, a transfer from Kilgore ColIer, is currently on the pre-season
inJury list with a.stress fracture of the
right tibia, but should recover by the
time the Bulls begin their season schedul~. Other leaclina p.r ospecu are
u:ansfersGrcg Franklin, aS'H• guard,
and Mike Niles, a 6'4• swinaman. The
coach also rc&lt;:ruited~rce talented
freshmen, -6'6• forward Cbris Matthews, 6'2• guard leo awlak, and
6'4• forward Erik ~rg- all of whom
are from local
ac;hoob.
·
" O ur first prionty it to pt bealthy,"
remarked CoiU:b Bauatll, this it the
third week of practice for
recruits
and t h e ot her
team
members.

Bazzani is very pleased. to return to
his alma mater and has many plans for
the improvement of U B's basketball
program. With continued help from
University administration, he expects
to "make UB be.sketball a first class
operation ... This season Coach Bazzani hopes to get off to a good start
and generate student body support for
the team. "They're [the atudents) vital
to our success, .. asserts Bau.ani. He
sees fans as an essential element for
winning games at home. "We want vis·
it'ing teams to know where they are ....
Ba.uani invites all UB students to "be a
part of a growing program and attend
the Bulls' home games."

Support from faculty, alumni and
students, and the uae of the Alumni
Arena arc the resources Bazzani
intends to use to achieve his longrange dream for UB bask~tball . "The
Alumni Arena is the fmest facility in
Western New York.," maintains Bazzani, who sees this as a great selling
point for attracting the arCa•s frnest
ball players. Initially, he hopes to
develop the Bulls into the top Dtvision
Ill team. From there be would like to
enter Division 11 and eventually reach
Division I status. Bazzani feels that
this goal can be realized within five or
six years. But be is in no ruah; be wants

annual Gall et)' Boutique presented by
the Albright-Knox An Ga llery and th e
Office of Cultural Affairs. Sandrd
B•ry, a 1978 gr•duate of th e Alfred University School of Ceramics, makes objects th a t
she describes as an expression of Ame rica n
folk an with a Co nstructionist approach.
Carving a nd painting on wealhcred ban1
wood, her patterns taken from Indi an culture,
An Deco, and Op An, Ms. Bcny creates toys
that look like sculptures. H er mechani cal box
toy called "Punch a nd the Po rk Lun ch " won
first prize fororiginallunch box desigh at th e
Burchfi e ld Cente1·'s I 982 " Food in the
Gal lery" show.
The other anist-in-residence during th e

~

event will be Amy "Anthony, who

ho
1980 MFA from the Rochest er lnstitut
Technology. Ms. Anthony was a n
artist-in-residence at Anpark in 1980, and has
exhibited widely, including at the Nonh
American Craft Fair at Rhinebeck, N.Y.. a nd
the Ame ri can Craft Museum in New York.
She makes "sculptural mailing systems,"
ingenio us combinations of folded paper and
brightly colored plastic tha t can be used as
postcards or can be preserved as crafc objects.
Another approach to posLcards -is by Betty
Ruth Curtis, who Xeroxes household objects,
from sneakers to showercaps, to create her
offbeat design s. They'll be on sale, along with
transparent postcards from France. And so
will the Gallery Shop's biggest hit. "The Tangle," a free.fonn creation that can be used as
a puzzle, a piece ofjewelry, or a sculpture for
indoors or ouL lt comes big and small,
colored or chrome, $6 to $60. Another object
for sale will be the "sk.iuers disk spinner," a
combination of paper sdulpwre and spinning
top. AJso: posters, C hristmas cards, engage·
ment and wall calendars, jewelry, kaleido-scopes and an book.s,·includingthe new book
of photography by the master, Alfred Stieglitz.
The boutique will be held in 10 Capen Hall
on Tuesday, November 15 (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.),
and Wednesday, November 16 (I 0 a.m. to
2:30).

T

he next exhibition in Capen Gallery is a
collaboration he tween 20 poets and 20
visual anists, all of th em SUNY fac uh )'
members. Pete r Gordo n, fom1er di rector of The Pla7.a Gallery at SUNY I Al bany. who put th e show to gether. at fi rSt followed his advisorycommiu.ce's suggestion for
a visual presentation of works by some: of the
University's distinguished poets. The_ them e
was to be the poets' sense of place, their relationships to the diverse environments of New
York State. But after collecting the works, Mr.
Gordon w:u convinced that the display
needed mo~ than the visual augmentation of
a browsing collection of the poets' books.
their tape recorded readings, and their fint
drafu: "calligraphic scribbles" on biu of
paper had given way in most instances to
Smith-Corona Gothjc pica-spacing, anyway.
And 10 he invited an equal number of SUNY II
visual anists "to respond to"- rath~rthan to
litef1!11y illustrate -the poems. The result is a ,
presentation of 20 poems printed on handmade papers, and 20 visual responses in inta~
glio, gouache, lithography, drawing, phot&lt;&gt;_graphy and ceramics. Buffalo is well .
.,-epresented in th~ exhibit. with poems by •

Roben Greeley, Carl Dennis, hvin ~ :-•ldman,
Mac Hammond and John Logan, a nd with a
lithograph by Harvey Brevennan, all of UB.
and by Buff State visual anists Frank C. E&lt;:kmair, Peter Sowisk.i, and Jim Sylvia.
An opening receptio n in honor of these
poets and arosts will be held in Capen Gallery

ear for the way not ve ry aniculate people

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

                    <text>At 80, Spock
continues to
urge activism

"You
can do
many
things;
just do
something."

By JILL-MARIE ANOIA
ow 80 yean of age and heavily
involved in the peace movement, Dr. Benjamin Spock still
bas plenty to say to parents but
he also has ad vice for all adults who live
in this precarious time of worldwide arms
buildup.
.
Speaking at the Buffalo Historical
Soc•ety Auditorium Sunday, Dr. Spack
said "Parents should play down competitiveness." This was one of his major sug~
gestions for the improvement of the quality of the modern family. A child who is
socialized to feel in competition even in
his/ her own home is apt to mature into
the type of adult who fails to see the
virtues of cooperation and, perha ps, the
type of adult who advocates and promotes the arms race. Dr. Spock advised
the audience to encourage their children
to value the achievement of goals through
teamwork and f\lUtual effon rather than
individual, self-serving methods.

Spock
From page 1

He also pointed out that Americans
usc more corporal punishment with
c)lildren than do Europeans. This teaches
children that power and might are the
essential elements of authority. 04We
teach our children violence by hitting
them," Dr. Spock contended and be
advocated the elimination oftbis practice
from the child-rearing process. Spock
noted, "I've seen many children who have
never been hit or physically punished . ..
who are very cooperative and intel)ectually mature."
Parents should see their children as a
sour:ce of enjoyment and purpose, the
physician said. "Parents should learn to
appreciate each child. Whether the child
is beautiful or homely, or whether the
child. is bright or dull, the parent should
appreciate the child for his / her good
qualities so that all of us grow up feeling
more comfortable with ourSelves." Dr.
Spock sees the family as the source of
every individual's feelings and attitudes;
improving the parent-child relationship
can be the first step towards teaching the
peoples of the world to live peacefully.
04
8efore we feel more comfortable with
others, wcVc got to feel more comfortable with ourselves ...

r.· Spock also addressed the issue of
education. ••Jn schools we should
teach our children not as I was taught that we win all our wars because we're
right. We should teach our children that
some of our wats have been OUTRAGEOUS," he said. Schools should
also ·expose students to aspects of other
cultures and advocate understanding and
tolerance of different national out ~ooks.
The recommendations of the Natib nal
Commission on Excellence· in Education
for extending the: school day by one hour
and the school year for One more month
and increasing the amount of homework
are ..all ways of oppressing children •• in
the words of Dr. Spock. He fails to see
any beneficial reason for any of these
suggestions. To replace them, he offered

D

a few recommendations of his own. He
advocated "homework for independent .
. study purposes." By this he meant work
1which requires the child to research
Isomething for the benefit of the class or
1
work on a project. Dr. Spock also called
· for more careful selection of teachers,
"choosing those who are emotionally of
the right disposition to teach in the small
classroom and encourage creativity,
originality, and spontaneity."
In addition to modifying their
treatment of childre~n , each adult was
urged to take part in the protest.against
the arms race. Dr. Spock suggested three
methods: letter writing, demonstrations.
and acts of civil disobedience.
" My rule is: every time I get scared
again, every time I get angry again, I sit
down and write a batch of letters," be
announced. He stressed the importance
of communicating·with Senators and the
President as a method of letting the voice
of the people be hc;ard. '"It doesn' matter
how you express it, you just have to show
which side you're on," he said . No quan·
tity of mail will make decision makers
change their minds, but letters can lead to
policy reform.
pock related stories of demonstratio ns he has taken part in. He looks
S
back upon these experiences as inspiring:
''At a demopstration yo u learn that"
you're not the only one, Jhat you're not
- queer... He enco uraged others to take

Nurses will unionize: the question is when and hhw, Redman says
BJ WENDY ARNDT HUNT
he question is not if nurses will
unionize, but when and how,
Richard Redman, R.N., Ph.D.,
told an audience October 13 at
the Executive Motor Inn. About 40
health care professionals had gathered
there that day for a conference on nurses
and unions, which was sponsored by
UB's Continuing Nurse Education program, and the School of Nursing Alumni
Association.
As of 1980, Redman said, IS percent of
all active nurses were organized under
some bargaining unit. Only five per cent
bad been union members 10 years earlier.
The Taft-Hartley Amendment, which
was passed in 1974, dictated that all nonprofli hospitals must allow the unionization of their employees. The National
Labor Relations Board recognizes seven
bargaining units.
More than 22 per cent of all hospitals
in the United States have at least one
union. Eiahty-six per cent of federal hos·
pit.als have at least one union, whereas
only 16 religious hospitals do.
Redman, director of the health plan·
ningand manaaement area in the Gradu·
ate De~nment of UB's School of Nurs·
ina. llllid that the larger the hospital, the
more urban the hospital, the better the
nelda that it is uniomzed. He added that
more h01opitals in the Northeast and the
West have unions.

tion should represent them. Though there
are 40 different health care unions, three
dominate. Sixty-five per cent of the contracts are negotiated by the 199 locals of
the National · Union of Hospital and
Health Care Employees, sfllte affiliates of
the American Nurses' Association, and
C.S.E.I.O. Some of the nurses believe
that their professional organizations,
such as the American Nursing Association, can best bargain for them because
the leaders understand the details of a
nurse's daily experience. whereas others
believe that the professional organizations are controlled by supervisors and
nursing educators who have forsotten the
needs and pressures of the staff nurse.
Other nunes question how professional issues, like autonomy. control over
practice, and panicipation in decisionmakina. can be defined and bargain.U
over.
'
Redman said that reprdless of these
issues, it is expected that almost SO per
cent of hospitals will be unionized by
1990.
n a panel discussion that followed
Redman's speech, Buffalo Children's
IHospital
administrator Paul Crafts said
that he does not like unions. But he conceded that they are a reality and that his .
colleagues must deal with them in aoocl
faith .•
... We are in an evolution~ not a revolution, "be told bit mootly..femaleaudiencc,
adding, "but I uoume we have a lot of

erably that they had to seek protection
from a union. They also view election
results in a win/ lose context. And they
consider contract negotiations as another
time to battle the union, not a time to
bargain the issues.
Crafts told his audience that nurses
must bargain in economic terms.
Earlier, however, Redman had pointed
out that the number one reason that
unions strike is not money, but working
conditions that are related to patient
care.
Bargaining for nurses should be done by
a professional organization of nunes,
said Ellen Sanders, a registend nurse
with the New York State Nunes' Association. She said that because NYSN A
understands nursing issues, it can best
articulate them and argue for them.
"What we bargain for is that the
employer will do X, Y, and Z based on the
standard of the profession," Sanders
said. "We will not bargain for the
standard ."
Cheri Schwind, a part-time staff nunc
. at St . Joseph '!I Hospital, said she voted
against the union during elections held at
her hospital because: she believes unions
cannot represent nunes.

Too much information
can kill us,
warns Goldhaber
~---~~~~~~~~-­
. , .JOYCE IUCHNOWSKI
he age of information shock is
upon us," assens UB Communication Professor Gerald
Goldhaber, Ph.D., who is current ly writ ins a book that discusses nesative aspects of"ET"- emersinstechnolopes - that have been spawned ever the
last decade by new electronic media.
Goldhaber, a political pollster and analyst who heads his own communications ·
research firm, wholeheanedly asrees
with futurists Alvin TofOer and Herman
Kahn ihat America has moved from an
indunrial ase whose main products were
soods and services to a post-industrial
aae whose main prod uct is information.
With the development ofthecommunications satellite and computer chip. Goldhaber says the U.S. has now become an
"information rich" society that demands
instant data, facts and new entenai~
ment. And just as the fast-food industry
has become our "junk food" industry, he
believes that our fast-fact communications industry has become a "junk-fact"
industry. one that provides ..substance
without nourishment ...
" T

As Goldhaber sees it, the good news is.
that new communication tc:chnologies
such as cellular radio. two-way cable.

personal computers, videoconferencing.
vjdcotext, fiber optics and satellites have
made it possible for more information to
be "created. diffused. processed and
eJil;hansed faster, fanhcr and cheaper
than ever before."
Thcbadncws iSlhatlhc'Hi o mTec h ..
era has generated a tate of .. information
overload'" which can be ""phy ically, psycholo&amp;ically. socio-culturally and orpnizationally harmful." Its victims suffer

from stress that may manifest iuelf in
anxiety, 1ensio n• .,.in and variou physiological chanses on bndy c hemistry that
accompany stress. not to mention
decreased sclf~teem. confusion and disorientation. Research has shown. Goldhaber continued. that stred is a ""highly
predictable correlate of 'i nformation
overload" and that overload is "'responsible for much or the stress experienced in
an organiz.ation setting." FUJtller .
research has linked strc s to ca ncer, cardiova scular di.sorders, gastroduodenal
ulcers and job burnout

An inverse relationship exists between
the amount of contact one has with
cmcrsins technologies and with fellow
human beings. Goldhaber advises. and
the punuant loss of interpcnonal communication can have an advern effect in
the home and workplace. For example,
he notes that some banks are now discovering that a utomated tellc.-. and billpaying by phone have resulted in a loss of
business to brokerage houses which offer
a greater degree of personalized attention. Similarly, when Continental Illinois
Bank and Tru t Company of Chicaso
and ontrol Data Corporation rccently
ex.pc:rimcnted with placina word proceso.-. In the homes of selected employees
so they could work more conveniencly,
they found that most of the employees
felt isolated and deprived of their social

Murder and terror reign in Khomeini's Iran, expatriate says
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
urder and terror reign in
Iran as the Ayatollah K.homeini continues tightening
his control over the revolution- and war-weary population,
charged Cyrus Ozmoon, an expatriate
from the Islam nation, in a lecture here
Friday.
The Ayatollah's bloody 1977 overthrow of the Shah and the subseq uent
establishment of an Islamic Republic
under the 84-year-old religious leader has
led to "grave violations of human rights,"
Ozmoon said. "The crimes that K.homeini has committed will turn your
stomach, but we still must face up to these
realities so we may change them."
Ozmoon-#s UB lecture was part of a
nationwide campaign designe:d to raise

M

the consciousness of both Americans and
Iranians in the United States to the
"atrocities" Khomeini's government has

!'f'f::[.~t~:t'~~o=~~~~:~rin!~g;.~
about, and look at (these crimes),"
Ozmoon stressed, ..so we may understand
the extent of the violation of human
rights in Iran." Only after the wo rld recognizes these incidents, he said, wiJJ
change, possibly reflected in the Ayatollah's downfall, occur.
Currently, little is known outs ide its
borders of the internal politics of the
Middle Eastern nation , c;:&gt;zmoon noted ,
pointing to the governmenl"s expulsion
of foreign journalists as the probable
cause. ll is, thus, the duly of exiles and
others who recognize the extent of Iranian human rights violations, he said, to
broadcast their experiences and obse rvations to the world in the absence of a free

presS within the nation.
ne of the few outside organizations
to examine the Iranian situation is
Amnesty International (AI), a worldwide human rights watchdog. Reciting
AI statistics to his audience, which consisted primarily of members ofUB's Iranian community, Ozmoon emphasized the
number of politically related murders
and executions that have occurred during
the last two and one-half years of K.homeini's reign.
"There have been 8,000 executions
since 1981, but these are only those which
are publicly reported," he said. "They are
probably just one-&lt;juarter of the total."
According to Ozmoon, on one night in
July of 1981,497 political prisoners were
massacred, while the ruling regime
announc;ed that only 33 had been either
ha nged or executed . "Many deaths in
Iran are not reported, .. he said . .. Eve.ry
night in Iran 30 to 60 people will be killed
and many are children - II and 12 years
old - who are murdered wit h th eir
families."
In add ition to the mass executions of
citizens, Ozmoon emphasized that an
equally large population of prison
inmates exists, many arrested without
due process or eve n knowledge of their
alleged crime. "Ove r 100,000 people are
being held in 400 official and un official
priso ns," he charged. "And many of those
arc fa cing imminent death."
RePorts of cruel tortures in Irania n
prisons are common, Ozmoon claimed..
especially concerning the nctorious Evin ·
Prison, where inmates may be req uired to
wear blindfolds fo r mo nths as a for m of
humiliating tortu re.
"(Prisoners subjected to blind fold ing)

sit in silence and some eventually go
crazy," be said. " After a while (the officials) will take the blindfolds off to interrogate. A bright li$ht will shine and the
prisoner will be 1n intense pain and
become extremely dizzy." However, be

cont inued , the prisoners .,_uer no complaints for fear of even more punishing
tortu res.

~like in other nations noted for suppressi ng political opposition and
U
suspending bas ic huma n rights, Ozmoon
explained that in Ira n " no body is rea lly
safe."
"T he cha racter of suppression in Iran
differs fro m that in other nations," he
said. "One does not have to be an oppo rtun ist to be arrest.r,jl or killed." Every
aspect of an Iranian's life must reOect the

ruli ng regime's wishes, Ozmoon ~id , or
the wrath of Kbomei ni's " henchmen"
may follow.
...If a woman is ca ught not wearing a
cluJdor (traditional head garment) sbe
may be arrested or whipped immediately, " be noted. "lfK.homeini feels something is not right, because he is the sole
representative of God on Earth, nobody
should d isagree." Because of the Ayatollah's belief in his own infallibility,
Ozmoon theorized, tbe nation's Jaws
must reflect his desires.
However, Ozmoon believes that the
K.bomeini government will eventually fall
because it fails to reflect "the times" and
cannot solve tbe nation's most pressing
problems . ...The fanatics who control the
government do not belong to this time:
they !nay be line for the Middle Ages bu t
not fo r today," he noted . "This government bas no solutions to tbc economic
and social problems afflicti ng Iran."
Ozmoon noted that current unemployment figures in Iran reveal that ove r
5,000,000 people are searching fo r work.
Inflation has sk yrocketed to 400 per cent.
Beca use of the poor eco nomic climate.
Ozmoon said , ""there is much rese ntment
in the public to the government, so it
must kill people to scare them fro m d oi ng
anything against the regime...
T he fu tu re of Iran lies in rebel groups
such as t he Paris-based Natio nal Council
of Resistance in Ira n (NC R I). a coalition
of va rious ant.i-Kho meini organizations,
which, Ozmoon said , " represe nt the feelings and aspirations of all of Iran.
.. As long as Khome ini is in po we r there
will be terror, arrests, and executions; he
will not cha nge, .. Ozmoon intoned . ... Our ..
responsibility is Jo make sure he doesn)
do these things any rqore."

De« Joe:
As the University's State Employees Federated Apill!a1 (SEFA) nears iu co mpletion. I would like to thank you and the S FA Stcerina'dommittcc for yo ur outstandina effort this year. I would also like to cncouraae you and each member of the
Committee and the entire University community to make one last attempt to identify
additional contribution to the SEFA campaian.
Locally. the aJ"ncics which arc part or SEFA continue to play an importa nt role in
Western New York and durin&amp; the put two year the im porta nce hu maanified . As
almost everyone knows, this rc,ion hu been devastated by the disruption• and
chanan in our country• economiC: huation. De pile recent upturns in the nadona.l
picture. Western New York con tinues to face escalatina unemployment, extremely
high eneraycosts and economic taanation. The recent clo ina oft he Bethlehem Steel
Plant is the symbol of the scYCrc dirricultics this reaion hu faced and will continue to
face in the im mediate years ahead. Often. the various al"ncie and services of S FA
have been the buffer between many people in our oommunit)' and ultimate despair.
Throuahout these difficult )'Cars, tbc.employecs of the Un1versity at Buffalo have
enjoyed a certain measure of rnsulation from tbc severe pressures faced by tbc lar~r
WeJUrn New York community. Not one of our employees hu been involuntanly
separated from tbc University payroll. Thualarics paid to administrators and faculty
at this University arc extremely competitive with tbc salaries offered at tbc best
universi ties in tbc ~untry . The Income availab~ to our employees is, on ave raJ", well
above tbc averaJ" 1ncomc levels of Western New York rcsidenu.
One of tbc primary miuions of tbc University at Buffalo is its conscltntiouoiiCfVice
to its public, tbc community in which it exitts. I view this minion u a responsibility
that extellds to each member of tbc University community, a rcsponslbihty that we
each have as individuals, u well u collectively u an illltitution or hiabcr education.
We have bepn to develop initiative• in service to our community utilizlaa 0111
collective eoerJies aDd resources. I hope that we can, u well, manbal our illdiY!dual
encrpcs aDd rcsourcuto serve our community throup the various SEFA . ....-..
aDd orpnizations that operate in Wcstem New York.
Joe, I would like to uri" you aDd tbc members of tbc Stccrina Committee to make
one last apr.altjllbc members of tbc Unlv~nity for contributions to this lm~
campaian. am lUre t~at you will filld the cflort to.be worthwhile. Thank you apia for
a fine JOb u the Chairman of tbc SEFA campaaan for tbc University.

Donovans claim US aids government responsible for murder~
By WENDY CONLIN

" w e don' speak against the
American government ,we speak as American citizens with every right to
protest our democratic governmcnt"s
action ... said an emotional Pat Donovan, mother of 27-ycar-old Catholic lay
missionary Jean Donovan who was executed in December of 1980 while working
in El Salvador.
According to the Donovans. who
spoke before a crowd of approximately
6iJ in Knox Hall Monday night. the US
government is continuing tO aid a
government in El Salvador which all evi·
dencc points to as being responsible for
the murder of their daughter - "and our
government doesn 'l seem to care ...
Ray Donovan, Jcan:S fa ther. brieny
related his view of the histo ry of the El
Salvador situat io n, trying to show how
the church had become a target of the rich
resime presently ruling the country.
.. The rich , aproximately 14 fa milies. have
historically controlled the wealth and the

means of prqduction. while the poor have
lived in completely unjust and brutal
hunger and poverty."
Traditionally the Catholic church bas
supported the rich as well as the military.
he said . However, in 1968 the Pope
revived the Latin American church and
urged the rich and powerful to be sensitive to the poor.
Missionaries like Jean Dono\'an
swarmed to the country to help preach to
both rich and poor.
The poor, comprising over 80 per cent
of the population. struggled to end
.. social injustice. institutional viole nc~
and to widen political participation ." he
said.
To the ric h this was viewed as tanta·
mount to treason, Ray Donovan noted .
When struggles broke out, the US backed
the old regime by pro viding guns and
ammunition.
The rich supposedl y cracked down on
the churches and archbishops who were
aiding the poo r.

T

he execution of Jean Donovan 'in
1980. along with three American

nuns. was blamed on four soldiers of the
junta. supposedly" acting on their own.
" But these soldiers have never been
brought to tria l. The government of El
Salvador insists that they were low level
soldiers acting on their own - despite
growing evidence which indicates th ese
were soldicn under explicit orders of
people at the very top:· Donova n
asserted .
He doubts that a trial will ever take
place now "'because much of the evidence
has been tos1 mislaid or considered
inadmissible ... This is unfortunate
because a trial could .. make others think
twice about following such orders. "
He explained that the US government
has imphed that a serious im•estigation is
now goi ng on, but that he doubt.s it. Pat
Donovan voiced hope that in .. depth my
daughter might do more to help the El
Salvadoreans than she could alive ....
The Donovans urge an end to US military i'nter\'entio n and look to ncgotia·
tions. ••Jfthis continues. o ne side will win
and the extremists of that side will take

over. Whichever side wins. there will be
trouble. Perhaps through neaotiations
we could Jet the moderates together."
n Ray Donovan's opinion. the situaI tion
in El Salvador is nota Communist/
struggle. ""lt not a
anti ~Co mmunist

Communist uprising. This situation has
existed for 100 years and is typical of
Latin American countries ....
In fact . Donovan feels that if the US
continues to fund the military junta in El
Salvador . .. we1l be pushing them into the
arms of th~ Communists - for i( the
rebels win. thcy11 view the Soviet Union
as the reformers. They will turn to them
: as the only wa out of their misery."
He contends he Communist label on
wha t•s happening in El Salvador is the
work of 1he Reagan administra tion.
..When it came tO"tpower. it had to take a
strong stand to show that the Ru ians
didn't ho \•c Jimmy Carter to push oround
any more. T he y made a macho demon·
i tration and ot of ignorance or tack of
judgment focused on El Salvador and
labelled it a Soviet uprising."

SCLC attorney urges educators not to forget segregated past
By ANN WHITCHER

E

ducators must pay careful attention to the bitter lessons of past
racial discrimination, a prominent civil rights figure said here

Friday.
Wiley A. Branton, who represented the
Southern Chtistian Leadership Conference this month against Sen. Jesse Helms'
efforts to secure F.B.L materials on Martin Luther King, Jr., addressed the
second higher education forum .sponsored by the Department of Educational
Organization, Administration and Po!icy. A former dean of the Howard Umversity Law School, he is a panner in the
Washingto n, D.C. firm of Sidley and
Austin.

As a black child grpwing up in Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, Branton, 59, met with
racial discrim ination of a memorable and ·
bitter sort. The famous 1896 U.S.
Supreme Court ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson had stated that .. separate ~ut
equal .. facilities satisfied the requuements of the 14th Amendment. It was in

high school. The latter had not been used
owi ng to the construction of a new white
high school sometime before.
"The black ch urches had to come to
our rescue and so we were located in
about ten different churches for two years
whilithey rebuilt. Just before we were to
mov~, the trucks rolled up. they sent all
the old equipment from the white school
over to the black school and sent new
eq uipment to the white school.
" But at least they were better off than
the little town of Brinkley, Arkansas ... ,
where even after the Brown decision,
when sout hern states in an effort to delay
and resist that decision, decided that, yes,
at long last we11 build some new schools
for ·colored' so as to avoid integration.

effect until the landmark Brown vs. the
Boord of Education dec ision in 1954. ''I
can tell you that things were always
separate but never equal,'' said Branton,
who directed the Voter Education Project in Atlanta in 1962.
... have never known what it was like,
as a boy, to have the privilege of checking
a book out of the public library.
Although I was one of the first black .
persons to graduate from the University
of Arkansas Law School, at that time, I
couldn't become a member of the county
bar association or the state bar association. I could not even check a book. out of
the county \aw library in my county, despite the fact that l practiced \aw in that
little town.
.. Yoq talk about justice in education.
I'm telling you I have some st rong firsthand experience in thai regard ...

children in Brinkley."
Unfortunately, Branton related, a
nearby white school got the new building.
even though th at school had not been
inlended for the white school children,
who num bered only one-third of the
black school popu lation.

n these sepa rate, segregated schools
(later outlawed by the Brown decision),
the facilities were .. inferior,.. said Branton, " but we had some of the most dedicated teachers I think God ever put on
earth.
"In the little school that I attended, we
had one globe in the geography class.
And I can remember the teacher holding
up this battered, tattered globe, taking
her finger and pointing to where Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia would be if that pan of
the map had not already peeled off. I
became an expert on the location of the
entire Balkan region."
In 1939, Branton's "Jim Crow" high
school burned down; the school was then
remod~led with a W.P.A. grant. During
the rehab work, however, the black
school children were not permitted to
locate even temporarily in a surplus white

et, Branton said he's "proud" of his
state, for it was .,_he first southern
state to desegregate without a lawsuit, ..
and did so on Februaf)' 2, 1948, when
Silas Hunt, a black World War II veteran, became tbe first black to enroll in
any previously all-white southern college
or university, when he registered for
classes at the University of Arkansas Law
School. Hunt, however, was taught
separately in a basement classroom.
"They told Silas Huntthaf he was not to
go into the other classrooms. But tl)ey
didn't tell the wh ite students that they
couldn't come into Silas's classroom,"
Branton explained.
Gradually, white students joined him
in the basement. Hunt died that summer
from latent complications of a war injury.
but in the fall of 1948, another black
enrolled. The administration continued

the same practice of holding separate
classes for him in the basement, later opting to bring the black student into regular
classes. They placed· his desk, however,
within a barrier ... That physical barrier
became necessary for them to at least say
that they were req uiring racial segregation. Within less than 24 hours of the
barrier's construction, half of the faculty
threatened en masse resignation if the
barriers were not removed," said Branton. The barriers came down promptly.
There were other cases preceding the
Brown decision. A black high school
principal in Oklahoma, seeking his
Ph.D .. was required to take all his classes
alone in an alcove adjoining a specific
classroom. The Supreme Court later
struck down this practice, Branton said .
Before Brown, of course, rigid racial
segregation prevailed in the south. The
segregated schools for blacks were also
"inferior" in their academic offerings,
Branton said. In the few cases where the
sc hools were accredi ted, the programs
we re "very limi ted." "You wonder how
we were ab le to come forward with the
kind of leadership across the nation in the
various subject areas that we have been
able to produce, .. he said.
Branton said that in Fayettev1lle,
Arkansas, while he was in the University
of Arkansas Law School located there,
there was no public high sc hool education available for blacks . ..The nearest
black school was in Fort Smith. 60 miles
away, through the mountains, too far for
daily transportation. "Though the Fayettevi lle~chool district paid tuition to the
Fort Smith school district for children
attending the latter, Fayetteville parents
had to assume all other expenses. For
most, this was impossible. _._
" We don't know what talent there is
th at could have been developed," said
Branton, addi ng that "a terrible price was
paid ." He told of one young man who
.. had gone to one of these segregated.
inferior high schools in eastern Arkansas," and later applied for admission to
the all black college in Pine Bluff, "which
was barely accredited itself. And that
young man could not even meet the
standards of admission to an aU-black
college. So you know his education was
in pretty bad shape. But th at college president tried to give him a chance and took
him int o that sc hool." At his death, the
man was recognized as one of the world's
leading kidney transplant surgeons, said
Branton.
n 1957, Branton wasthechiefanorney
for the plaint iffs in the famous Little
IRock
school case, not at all the first
instance of desegregation in that state.
Actually, the event was largely precipitated by Gov. Orval Faubus' planned reelection bid for an almost unprecedented
third term in a state which allows only
two-year gubernatorial terms.

.. Faubus needed something that would
arouse the people." On September 4,
1957, Faubus called out National
Guardsmen to bar nine black students
from entering previously all-white Central High School in Little Rock . On September 21, Faubus complied wi th a federal court order to remove the
guardsmen. On September 23. the black
students entered school, but were ordered
to withdraw by local authorities because
of a fear of mob viole nce. On September
24, President Eisenhower sent t roops to
enforce the court's order. Black students
attended school that year only under
army protection.
Branton uated the complicated legal
fight which lasted through the school
year of 1958-59, when the state had
invoked a measure enabling it to close all
public high scho Is in Little Rock_. During th at year, ... there was not a pubhc h1gh
school operating in Little Rock, the largest city (in the state), the state capual, for
black or white. It took us a whole year,
working our way back thro ugh feder~l
courts to have that Jaw declared unconstltuiti onal and to get those schools
re-opened."
Concluded Branton : "Democracy
must be born -anew every generation and
education is the midwife ...
uring a question-and-answer ses-

sion, Branton said he was dismayed
D
at President Reagan's apparen tly ..sympathetic .. views of Sen. Helms' efforts to
secure F.B.I. materials on Martin·luther
King, Jr., as stated during the presidential press conference preceding Senate
passage of legislation creating a federal
holiday honoring King•s memory.
'
" I happen to have been the laWJter who
resisted Sen. Helms in co urt this week
and you knOw the public will never understand the sheer fabricat io n engaged in by
the F.B.I. during the early 1960s in faking
apes and photographs involving Dr.
King, all of wh ich has been documented
by a Senate committee, which has
absolved him of any co mmunistic influe n~nd which (report) also talked
about1 be fabrication of these tapes and
photographs. And for the president to
say, 'Well you know, we won\ really
know for another 35 years ... '
" We had sought six years ago to have
those tapes and photographs destroyed,
but the court, trying to strike a balance,
said well just place them under a seal for
SO years because they may have some
historical significance even though many
of them were fabricated, but that in order
to protect Mrs. King, the King famil y and
other innocent people, aod to protect
their privacy, well put it uoder seal for SO
yean;."
The series continues November 18 with

hat has four wheels, travels
up to 40 miles per hour and
attracts giggles, neighbor·
. hood Jcids, doubletakes and
newspaper photographers?
The answer: Jim Bentley's "quedra·
cycle."
The ungainly vehicle, which looks
something like a cross between a bicycle
and a prccunor to the Model-T Ford, is
tbe creation of this fourth·ycar UB mcdi·
cal student from Coney Island, Brooklyn.
The JJ.footlong red and black pedal·
powered device bu two seats, ten speeds,
four wbecls and an optional six-power
minibike engine. Created out of parts
from more than 20 bicycles, the quaint
machine weighs ~veral hundred pounds.
Mr. Bentley, who loves bicycling,
began the project several-years ago when
his girlfriend insisted she would go cycling
with him only on a bicycle built-for-two.
"I lived right next to ajunkyarcl where I
was able to fond all Jciods of bike parts,"
' he explained. After a period as a twowheeler, the vehicle wu ..improved .. with
sugestions from frieods. From an old
Good Humor ioe cream wagon, Bentley
said smiling, "I edded axles" and trans·
formed it into a tricycle buUt-for-two . He
test drove it along tbe bicycle Jane edja·
. oent to Brooklyn 'I busy Belt Pukway.
His test-&lt;lrivcs, be qrccs, led to rubber·
neclcing and didn' do much to alleviate
the chronic traffic delays on that crowded
freeway.
The next step in the evolution of his
unconventional vehicle oocurrcd during
Bentley's camping journey with his girl·
frieod from Coney lslaod to Massachu·
sctts. Passing through a town, be
squeezed between a truck and another
vehicle and broke the one front wheel.
With no choice but to repair it right there.

"When I came here from New York

with tbe N•ws. "So every time I went
back home, I'd bring a few more pieces

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

UB request
for 1983-84 is
call for a
new philosophy·

T

he University's 1984-85
budget request,
proved · by the
Council last Friday and
slated to go before the SUNY
Trustees next week, is a fiscal
plan with more than a mere
fucal message.
UB is asking fo_r a total
State
appropriation
of
$159,128,000 and a total
faculty-staff authorization of
4,013 full-time equivalen1
employees (FTEa). That
dollar total represents an
of $17,673,610 over
the adjusted 1983-84 base and
is 205 FTEs ·above this year's
adjusted employment ceiling.
Enrollment would remain
steady under the plan.

Maintenance of quality in Arts and
Sciences, moreover1 is vital of the health
and reputation of the University; the
document emphasizes.
Academic Affairs units at UB now
have tbe leanest student/faculty ratio of
anyoftbefourSUNY University Centers
and leaner than some SUNY colleges.
This." in the face of the stated
commitment on tbe part of tbe State to
build bore a truly distinguished graduate
center. Even more distressing, tbe budget
document soes on, is that at tbe upper
division and besinning graduate levels
"not a aiqle Univeroity college exhibits a
leanc&lt; student/faculty ratio than those
cum:ntly experienced at Buffalo."
The 110 new positions in Academic
Affain (Ke table accompanying this
article for their distribuuon) are

Panel will advise
Wagner about ECC
study group has been empaneled to advise the director of
the Educational Communications . Center (ECC) and the
vice president for university services on a
series of considerations involving ECC.

A

The group was appointel! by and will
report to Vice President Robert Wagner.
Members of the University community
are invited to provide it with pertinent
input concerning irs three charges.
.ft.ose charges are to provide advice
on:
I. The range (kinds) of services, the
quantities of services, and tum-around
time for services that need to be available
for teaching, research and public service,
includiq broadcastirig, narrowcasting,
publications and other creative works,
aod other forms of transmission and
distribution.

2. The facilities and locations, staffing,
aDd equipment (general, not specific),
includiq maintenance procedures, to
d~ these required services.
3. Tbe relation oft he services provided
by tbe Educational Communications
Cealer to tbose provided by the University Libraries and the University Comp~ Services, and those ensaged in tbe
Planaina and renovation of audiovisual
facililieo, including responsibility for
their Jaq-raqe rnain~nance and repair.
Acconlina to Vice President Wasnc:r
thia adYil:e il to be made within the con-

texts of services provided by universities
of similar size, structure, mission and
ambition and of services specific to Western New York and the rest of the state.
Members of the panel are individuals
familiar with one or more aspects of services provided by ECC who understand
the management and resources of organizations which provide such services and
have the wil1ingness and motivation to
complete a thorough study. Chairing the
group is Dr. Thomas E. Burford, associate dean of the School of Health
Related Professions. Other members of
the panel are: Ms. June Blatt, senior academic advisor, DUE; Dr. Marlene M.
Cook, assistant dean, School of Man·
agement ; Dr. Michael P . Farrell .

· and in dental prosthetics). Healtb
Related Professions requests 33 additional student FfEs; tbe School of
Pharmacy, 20 (for graduate students to
meet increased demands in pharmacokinetics); Nursing, 21 (for increases at tbe
graduate level), Twenty-seven instructional FfEs are oought to staff these

increases.
he budget document reports a 20 per.
cent reduction in support staff
authorizations over the last five years. In
terms oft he Physical Plant alone, staffmg
has decreased from 830 to 768 (a drop of
7.5 per cent) while space has increased by
32 per cent, resulting in a 42.3 per cent
increase in workload per person. Tbe
budget document says the additional
positions requested for new facilities in
1984-85 are essential to maintenance of
the capital investment as well as to
effective campus operations.
This 1984-85 budget request assumes
"a continuation budget" witb modest
imprOvements. Dtcrtastd funding, the
budget document warns, would mean
enrollment reductions, retrenchments?
serious disadvantages in attracting
excellent grad students, difficulty in
retaining quality research faculty, and
elimination or dramatic reductions in
ordinary, required services.

SUNY funds -will underwrite
computers, equipment, waivers
n addition to State-appropriated
funds specifically earmarked for
this Campus, UB shares in monies
appropriated in lump sums to State
University for equipment replacement,
COO\Puting, tuition waivers and fellowships. The 1984-85 budget request
includes requests for thtse -funds as well.
In 1982-83, $750,000 was ap~ropriated
for UB Academic AffaifS~lpment replacement from the SUNY-wide pool. Of
this, approximately S400,000 was allocated
to Engmeering, and by use of matching
fund s from NSF and other grants.
$835 , 000 worth of equipment was.
acquired . Almost $190,000 was spent to
replace antiquated and obsolete equipment in the Department of Chemistry
that same year.
However, this year's riquest notes, the
funding has not allowed the UniversitY. to
address fully its priorityequipmentarelis.
Engineering is barely able to keep abreast
of hish technoloiY developments and
funds channeled to Chemistry have not
adequately responded to equipment
problems identified in that department.
Because the needs of Chemistry alone
would consume the entire academic
equipment allocation for Academ ic
Affairs, an increase in this allocation is
"critical," accord ins to the UB fiscal
proposal.
Within the Health Sciences, Dentistry
needs to make equipment purchases to
forward work in dental prosthetics and
materials. Medicine will be developiq a
centralized monoclonal antibody center
(for this campus and other units in

I

SUNY) and also needs equipment to
support research and development
efforts in the Surgery Trauma Program.
SUNY Central is requesting $328,000
for general equipment replacement in
1984-1!5, but, according to the budget
document, this allocation, helpful as it
would be, would represent only eight per
cent of a calculated annual replacement
requirement. The March 1983 equipment1
inventory for the University tetaled $190
million measured in costs of replacement.
Of this, $60 million worth is so-called
general equipment (equipment used
neither for instruction and research nor
for residence halls). This amount requires
approximately S4 million in annual
replacement expenditures if average
equipment lifetime is calculated at fifteen

Arts &amp; Sciences proposal stirs debate at Senate
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
acuity Senators heard the
former chair of their Academic
Policy and Planning Committee
make a plea Tuesday for creation of an A11s &amp;: Sciences College, then
h&amp;rd VPAA Robert Rossbergand_associate YP William Greiner declare that
they would like nothing better. Rossberg
noted , however, that resistance to formation oft he college- most forcefully from
the Faculty of Natural Sciences &amp;:
Mathematics - led him and Greiner to
conclude that the University was not yet
·-ready for such a massive organizational
change.
Though Senators were free to comment on any of seven Academic Affairs
task force reports - that be.ing the only
major agenda item. scheduled for tbe
meeting - discussion focused on the
recommendations oft be Arts&amp;. Sciences
Task Group, chaired by Greiner.
Classics Professor Tom Barry, who
last year chair~ the Academic Policy
and Planning Committee, told Senators
'11\at the recommendations in the A&amp;S
Task Force Report are "completely
inadequate"and could "possibly be disastrous for the University... He also complained that the A&amp;:S group was "dominated" by the administrators who were
members of it and that the faculty "have
not bad an adequate opportunity" to
respond to its recommendations.
"Official faculty response to thiJ document bas been miniJcule," he lamented .
The A&amp;:S Task Force Report calls for
the confederation of the three core faculties into a Faculty of Arts and Sciences,
with each faculty maintaining its current
administrative and governancestructurt:.
An Administrative s;_ouncil for the flculties would also be formed. composcd of
tbe VPAA and the core campus deans, as
would an Undergraduate Program
Council. consisting of &amp;he three deans.
representatives of the professional
schools in both Academic Affairs and
Health Sciences, professional staff, and

F

students.
The AdminiJtrative Council would
..deal with · sues of common concern to
the faculties, and facilitate their academic
and adminiJtrative relationships to tbe
professional schools in Academtc Affairs
and Health Sciences," the report stated.

The Undergraduate Program Council,
according to the report, would serve as
the .. primary admi trative advisory
group regarding undergraduate programs."
Specific charges to both groups, the
report continued, would be ""developed
b y the VPAA after cotUultation with the
Faculty 'Senate, the deans. direct on, and
faculty ahd other consultative bodies."
arry charaed that the recommendations of the A&amp;:S task group were
B
"essentially irrelevant" because they

failed to deal with issues ·~bat caused the
task group to be created in the first
place," an opinion shared by his committee, he said . He also questioned the advisability and necessity of creatins an
Administrative Council Ond an Undergraduate Program Council, since the
deans now meet regularly to discuss academic matters, and the latter group is so
""elaborate" in composition that it ''has
cve.r ybody butt he kllchen staff involved.
"Something must be done as soon as
possible to correct the vast number of
problems facing the Arts &amp;: Sciences._ .
We definitely need coordination and
administrative unit y in this area. so we can
accomplish something ... so we can do
what we arc capable of doing," Barry
asserted , obviously pitching for an Arts&amp;:
Sciences College.
Respond ing, Ro ssberg reminded
Senators that he was the one who first
proposed creation of an Arts&amp;. Sciences
College. then noted that if he felt . from a
"practical point of view" that the University "could move directly" to th at end , he
would till be recommending it.
The major problem with immediate
implementalion of an Arts &amp;. Science
College, Ross bergadvi ed, is that there is
presently "no widespread acceptance" of
the plan across the invoh'Cd faculties. ·
Na1ural Sciences &amp;. Mathcmal ics is '
" reluctant "lo move in I hi direct ion. the
VPAA relayed . ocia l Science&gt; "is mixed
in il suppo rt .. while Arts &amp; Leuer i
more "friendly" to the idea.
The VPAA noted that department
cha irman in FNS M .. have serious questions" about ahe impo ition of another
layer of administration.
Though Rossberg aid he " per onally
favors"' eslablishil'\8 an Arts &amp; Science
College, he disagreed whh Barry's
asSHsment that the task. force. "-CQ1nmcnda'!.ions were "'impotent."" \ns tead, he
said Ihey would allow Ihe Univer1i1y to
.. move step by step in lhe dircaion of
cbanaina the llructure of the Arts &amp;:
Sciences ... The Adm inis trati ve Co uncil
would pro vide a ve hicle for more "forma l,

and orchestrated" meetings a mong the
deans, he added. and would also encourage "'greater budgetary interaction."

ill Greiner. chair of the Arts &amp;:
Sciences task group, told Senators
that he and the VPAA wi hed they were
~· rona about the lack of consensus
regarding the Arts &amp;: Sciences College.
The associate VP pointed out that the

'Sunset cl_ause' would mean probation for new 'rograms
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
resident Steven B. Sample is
considerina establishing a
'"lunaet clause" which would put
newly created desree prolfllms
oa probationary status for no lonaerthan
a fi-year period, after which time they
would either reapply for permanent status or cease to exut.
If tbe idea iJ approved by both academic vice presidents, tbe policy would
be retroactive to September and would
affect such programs u the proposed
Women's Studies B.A .. the American
Studies Ph. D . program. Engineering
Physics and tbe new doctoral prolflllll in
Nursing.
The President told the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee last week that durinatbe probaliona7. period, the sponsorina department or acuhy would be permitted to make no ~irrevocable

would be detrimental to the University

In the memo to Rossbera. Sample
wrote that he - • recommenclina the

U

Computer ·program
helps students
pick one·
By JOHN K. LAPIANA
hrough the use of microcomputers, UB job hunters can "discover" new avenues toward
employment opportunities and
concurrently increase their awareness of
their interests and expectations of th e
volatile job marketplace.
At present; the University's Career
Planning Office is testing a software
package known as DiScove r II as pan ora
five-&lt;:ampus SUNY pilot program. The
software, explains Eugene Martell, director of Career Planning. will aid job
searchers by explaining opportunit,ies
available to them. It will also measure a
user's attributes and perceptions, so a
" better career decision" may be made.
According to Martell, the Discover
system "can be used at all levels. by
freshmen and upperclassmen.
" Discove r was set up basicaJiy to help
students through a career decision," he
said. Through a series of questions by the
computer and answers from the user, th e
Discover program develops a "career
cluster .. of possible occupations th e
searcher may want to pursue.
After measuring the user's attitudes,
values and objectives, Discover, which is
run on the Career Planning Office's two
TRS-80 microcomputers, prints a " map"
of what broad-based conceptual areas the
student could enter. This " World Map"
divides occupational areas into concepts,
such lY ••people, ... "data, .. "ideas, .... and
.. things', " with a more detailed o utlook
arriving after Discover completes a
further inventory of its use r's attributes.

T

"Discover is ntver going to pin (the
job search) down to one thing,"
explained Patrick Hayes, a Career Plannina counselor... Each person's interests,
abilities and values will come up with a
different list of prospective occupational
areas. From there we must look for an

se of Discover bas been limited so
far. Career Planning personnel had
to grapple to gain the mechanical knowhow necessary to run and maintain the
computerized system. However, Martell
said, the Office is now ready to unleash
Discover on UD's job hunters.
"We are going to be publicizing Discover much more now, .. he noted ... And
we will begin to heavily refer students to
use Discover."'
Currently, all .. Discover"~rs fall under
the aegis of Career Planning counselors
Hayes and Wesley Carter, who consult
students both before and after their computerized guidance experience.
"The follow-up to us ing Discover is
critical," Mar)ell stressed. "The real value
of Discover comes through in the meeting
bet ween the counselor and the student. ..
During this se sian. a career counsCtor
explains and analyzes the information
and results received from a Discover
printout.
.. Most (Discover users) have found the
experience more pleasant th an they
expected ... Hayes ex plai ned ... No matter
what previous exposure to computers
they had. most said (using Discover) was
helpful. " Like Martell, Ha yes notes that
Discover is not a replacement for professional career guidance, but a so urce of
additional assistance. "It is not a substitute for ~ounseling but a supplement, ... he
said ... Discove r gives the user immediate
information about himself, but a followup conference is still needed ..,.
During the post-Discover sessions
Hayes and Caner attempt to find ou t
whether Discover's conclusions match
thC user's own petceptions about his or
-her career d estinies. "We want to know if
the results are consistent with what the
student thought about himself, \ Hayes
said . " Ideally, Discover should be like a
mirror, showing users what their priorities are."
Computer fears notwithstanding.
1iayes believes that the Discove r software
program will prove to be an asset to both
t he Career Planning Office and fo r all UB
job hunters.
~make good career decisions you
need !information about yourself and
what is out there - that is (Career Planning's) mission,.,. he said. " Discover is just
one more tool to point to the right direction.,.
0

overlap or figure out why t here isn't one."
The Career Planning Office began testing Discove r, through a funding grant
from the Division of Student Affairs, last
month. So far, Martell said, the response
has been encouraging. "The reaction to
Discover has been ve ry positive, "he said.
.. I'm not sure whether it has been th e fun
of usi ng a computer or the substance of
the,program, but users seem to really liJc.e
it ."
Discover's trial ends next February
when members of the Career Planning
staff and Educational Psychology faculty
evaluate the program's first semester on
campus. The jury will use evidence from
surveys Discover itself compiles after a
user completes its program . Survey questions probe a variety of issues ranging
from overall usefulness to anxieties the
student may have in response to receivi ng
career guidance from a computer.
In addition to career help and information, Discover spews out the latest news

concern ing various graduate programs
from colleges and universities across the
coun try. Students can learn about
entrance req uiremen ts, tuition costs and
financial aids available at a substantial
list of ·schools, in program areas as
diverse as Historical and J?hiloso phical
Technology and traditional Mathematics .
While Discover does n~plicitly
"tell" a use r what opportunity ts best for
the Hst of attitudes and val ues he or she
has inputted , Martell said the software
program serves well as a source of initial
guidance. "'The basic information Discover provides is super,"' he said ... Its
educational value is a real benefit." D iscover will, on the request of its user, analyze the duties of a specific occupation,
predict the impact of future tech nology
on it, and give the basic requirements for
an entry level position in that field .
... "Discover gives a whole career picture,
bringing up a host of issues that need to
be looked at seriously," Martell said. It

UB establishing satellite ~ursing program at Fredonia
satellite nuning program has
been established at the State
University College at Fredonia
by the UB School of Nursing,
President Steven B. Sample announced
Friday.
· The new program will allow registered
nurses living and working in the Southem Tier to pursue bachelor of science
degrees without driving almost two hours
to and from Buffalo.
Partially funded by a three-year
$577,016 grant from the U.S. Depart·
ment of Health and Human Services, the
program is directed by Donna Juenket,
associate dean/ chairperson of under·
graduate nurse education at UB.
Juenker said the program is one of several in the United States.

A

The progr~m exemplifies interinstitutional cooperation. Jamestown
Community College. Fredonia State and
UB are working together to pro,ide
Southern Tier R.N.'s the opportunity to
complete all prerequisites and nursing
courses at their local institutions.
Nursing courses offered through the
satellite program will be the same as those
taken by students attending UB. UB'S
nursing faculty will determine curriculum
content and decide upon student admissions. faculty appointments and program
evaluation.
Degrees will be awarded by UB.
Sixty students are enrolled in a nursing
course on physical assessment that is
being offered th is fall at Fredonia.
Referring to the research conducted

Faith ·healing,. the

para~ormal,

as popular belief in the para·
normal emerged as the most
widespread folk religion in
America today?
How can scientists and medical prac:r.itioners counter the psychic and faith healing craze that seems to be sweeping the
country?
Does a former FBI agent really have
the explanation of the mysteriow animal
mutilations being reported in the western
U.S.?
The Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranor·
mal will examine these and other ques·
lions at its international meeting to be
held October 28and 29at UB. Composed
of distinguished scientists and skeptics
from around the world... the committee is
beaded by humanist philosopher Paul
KurtL
..The members of the committee want
to cryttalliu the concern tbat philo-

accepted as part of the received doctrine
by large sectors of the population.
.. At one time:· he continued. '"it was
not considered to be intellectually
responsible even to recognize these
s. But I strongly feel that the para·
nonnal has grown to be the largest folk
religion in America today. lt is important
thit we clarify its nature ...

the extent of belief in the paranormal,"
Prof. Kurtz said. "Since it is so widespread, we feel it will be useful'to clarify
its nature~
"In fact," be added, "we believe that u
inteUectuals wc .woukl be remiss in our
responsibilities u scientists and scholars
unless we did address these claims ...
Among the speakers at the conference
will be Philip J . Klass, whom Kurtz said
is considered "the leading skeptic in the
world;" Ken Rommel, former FBI aaent
who has investigated reports of alien vis·
itations on Earth; Dick Smith of Austra·
lia, fint man to circle the globe in a beli·
copter; Piet Hein Hocbens, editor of
Holland"sleading newspaper, and James
"The Amazing" Randi, whose widely
reported Project Alpha exposed the careleso investiPtions of a leadin&amp; psychic
research center.
"I think it is very importa nt that
mc:mben of the University community in
particular examine the paranormal
claims which are so abundant in the
broader culture," Prof. Kurtz com·
mented. "Students and faculty are daily
exposed to these claims, which are now

before the grant proposal was written.
Juenkcr said thMt 40 per cent of the area
nurses surveyed had already accr:ued
credits toward their bachelor'S degrees.
Butsince many of the interested R. N.'s
are employed. said Richard Goodman.
director of continuing education at Fre·
donia State, they couldn' conclude their
educations because they would have had
to attend classes in Buffalo, about SS
miles northeast of Fredonia.
..Their profession was urging them to
upgrade their knowledge and skills. as
were their hospitals. but no viable mcch·
anism that would allow them to do it
existed," Goodman said, adding. '"This
frustrated them. But we never stopped
looking at ways to get them their
baccalaureates ...

Goodman approached Dr. Bonnie Bul·
Iough. dean of UB's School of ursing, •
who, although be faced dwindling
resources, ncvcr1heless promoted the
idea of a U B satellite program.
For many years, UB has provided edu·
cational opportunities to registered
nurses. In 19g0, the School of Nursing
revised its curriculum to be more respon·
sive to the needs and career goals of
R.N.'S who wanted the B. . Repet ition of
nursing content was minimized. co urse
scheduling was made more flexible, and
learning experiences were individualit.ed.
Juenker pointed ou t that the State
University College at Buffalo will now
also offer prerequisite courses for registered ~urses . Credit for these courses can
be transferred.

ROUNDU • Doctor'l Din.ina

he music of the great Fats Waller will be featured on "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, "
Friday, Octobar 21, 9 p.m.
Jazz pianist McPartland and her guest Marie
Marcus team up to play the "stride" piano style
made famous by Waller. Marcus opens with a tribute to her friend and mentor with a medley of "Ain't
Misbehavin, " "Keeping Out of Mischief Now," and
· "Squeeze Me. " Then the Boston "stride" pianist
duets with McPartland on "Strutting with Some
Barbaque" and "That's A-Plenty." McPartland then
closes out the program soloing on " Why Did I
Choose You?" a pretty ballad number by the New
York night club entertainer.
This is one of 13 programs now featured in a
series on FMBB by the English-born McPartland,
known as "The Duchess of Jazz." The series airs
Fridays at 9 p.m. on FMBB.

Clark says pea·ce should he ·our major purpose

y JILL-MARIE ANOIA
eace .. has to be our major pur~
pose now ,~ former Attorney
General Ramsey Clark told a
concerned campus audience
here last - k as pan of Peace Day II.
Today's world is founded on a history
of crimes apinst humanity and is beaded
toward destruction, accordina to Clark.
He citq;l numerous examples which suppon his view, includina the histo'J( of the
Middle East, the military regime on Pak·
istan, the droppina of the H-bomb on
Hiroshima and , of coui'1C. U.S.-Soviet
relations. Clark sees all of these events
and a host of othen as proof of international belief in the adaae that "mi&amp;ht
makes ri&amp;ht," a belief which seems to
allow world leaders to iiJnore the destruction of humanity in the ;rocess of p i nina
power.
The worldwide build-up of weaponry
is Clark's primary example of the current
"madness" of world leaders, "The arms
race is demonstrably the areatest crime
against humanity in history." he
declared. "In tbe United StaleS, there
is more money spent on arms than on
education . . . I.Dd two times as much
money is spent on arms than on health."
Clark sees no positive resulu from this
expenditure, only destruction. "Guns are
uoed more than once in a while ... people
are shot every day on five continents4..
As for the future. Clark offered two
choices. We can continue to foUow the
patb set by our leaden and "become the
fint species in history to destroy ourselva and our planet." Or, "We can face
our situation as a cballenae.... If life on
otar_planet is wonb anytbina .. . if it is
wonb prcservina. we can do it." Clark
challenaes aU human beinp who enjoy
the beauty of life - an, muaic:, nature,
the lauaJiter of children - to do their
pan. "What you and I have to try to do.
and it's not very bard, is devote oui'1Cives
to findina a practical means of c:rutiD&amp; a
vision of peace and workiD&amp; at it . It's the
only pme in town that really mattcn. the
last frontier, the most challenaina. the
..Dnly thiq that's wonhwbik ... We have
to believe that as an individual we can
make a difference and 1tar1 doina it. "

Cultural freedom often unappreciated, Soviet expert says
said . For example, a work by the George
Orwell precursor Evgcny Zamyatin had
to be published abroad, and then in a
deliberately butchered translation. this
for security purposes, Friedberg related.
Interestingly, Friedberg told theCa~n
Hall audience. the Soviet authorities
were equally resuictivt with artistic
oraanizations, which had clear, oftenstated Communist Party sympathies. The
authorities deemed the communist or
communist sympathetic artists guilty ..of
a kind of communist hubris. "The Soviets
wished to ensure that the ultimate judg&lt;
in any discussion. anistic or othe-rwise.
would be the political authority.
explained Friedberg. They wished to
avoid any seeming pre umption on the
artists' part, and also thouaht that •to
give artists autonomy would tend to
water down this political authority. "

BJ ANN WHITCHER
reed om of culture, defined as
freedom of expression in both
high culture and popular art, is
often unappreciated in the soci~
ties where it's most available - and
encouraged.
Maurice Friedberg, visiting expert on
Soviet and Jewish cultural affairs from
the University of Illinois. said "freedom
of culture and intellectual expression is
taken for granted in countries in which
the citizenry happens to enjoy, also, the
full gamut of political freedoms and
therefore does not notice either the availability, or wouJd 'not notice the non·
availability. of freedom as it relates to
culture."
Moreo.vcr, such freedom must extend
to "trasjc, paradoxical yet inevitable"
situations as the~American Nazi march in
Skokie, Illinois. The true civil libertarian
will insist on the freedom of speech of
even th""' whom he rigorously opposes.
Friedberg, winner .of two Guggenheim
fellowships and a native of R'Zeszow,
Poland, said freedom must extend to the
worlds of "frivolous" fads, pornography,
violence in the cinema, and other items
distasteful to some.
.. In a free society, you are free to create
a Jackson Pollock (painting) or, if you
prefer, you may create a loving canvas
showi ng you the can of Campbell Soup."
One is free, he added, "to espouse a
bewildering variety of causes or free
not to espouse any cause at all." This
description of freedom may seem routine
to some, he noted, but it is hardly a routine matter to those who lived under Nazi
rul~, or to those livirlf in the Soviet
Umon . ..There was a touching unanimity
of views," he remarked sarcasticallY,
.. between Hitler . who very often
denounced what be called 'corrupt, dccad.ent and Jewish-inspired culture,' and
Khrushchev and Stalin who also
denounced this particular type of culture,
as 'corrupt, decadent and Jewish.' "
"Freedom of culture," Friedberg reiterated , "tolerates the production of
motion pictures that are laden with complex and often obscure symbolism, and
also the production of old-fashioned
melodrama and westerns. It unctions the
writing of poetry that the average reader
cannot comprehend, which poetry then
must receive a grant from whatever is tbe
local branch of the National Endowment
for the Arts or the National Endowment
for the Humanities. But it also sanctions
the publication of lovely and simple
nursery rhymes that arc readily sold to
commercial sponsors, and the production of any ltind of rhymed banality."

F

eprcssion·was a daily reality in Czarist R1111ia. Writers and artists,
however, ,..,re not required "to sina the
praisct" of the Emperor. Also, discrimination, censorship and other issues were
openly acknowlcdaed. in tbe sense "that
there were books which specified what
discrimiD&amp;lion would be tolerated and
which would not. "Censorship was riaorously cateforized. OM could criticize the
results o government policies, for
insaaoc:c: .. as lona u the person of the
emperor wasn' attacked. "The lines were
drawn with prc&lt;:ision. You coul1 say the
local priests were alcoholics, l•ut you
could not say the church was corruot. " In
tbe modertHSay U.S.S.R., however, such
tcrmo u ccaoonbip, racism and antiScmitiom do DOC C\'CII appear in Soviet

"Censor ••" was CODVJnced of "Censor

narrow-minded ness. Censorship in Czarist Ruuia was .. ofien petty and erratic."
The works of Marx were allowed,
"because they decided, not without rea·

one would read them, except collc,c professors, and who aives a damn about
them." The short stories of Tolstoy, on

From Buffalo to off-Broadway
A

By ANN WHITCIIItll
troupe of UB acton will take
.
their talents to an offBroadway stage early next
month, as the wit and bite of
Bertolt Brecht wash over a New York
audience gathered in an 800-seat converted movie theatre on the supper west
side. The expected adventure has cast
members polishing the rhythms and
cadences of Brecht's Th~ Caucasian
Chalk Circle, a sweetly trenchant work
which incidentally had its world premiere
as a university production at Carleton
College in Northfield, Minnesota in the
spring of 1948.
Following three weeks of perfortnances at the Center Theatre, the Theatre and
Dance Depattment, under Elkin's direction, will stage the play Novemb.e r 2-4 at
New York's Symphony S~ce, a wellknown ans center speciahz:i n&amp; in sucti
diversity as performances by ltzak
Pearlman, the Jaffrey II Dance Company and noted actor Fritz Weaver,
along with Mozart and Haydn marathons. Future productions include a hefty
dose of new music activity, includins;, just

before the UB opening, an appearance by
"'Continuum.." an ensemble performing
new music from the Soviet Union:
The theatre, located at 2537 Broadway
at 9Sth Street, near Columbia University,
is considered an off-Broadway performance center.
Elkin's friend and Symphony Space
artistic director Isaiah Sheffer, also a
New York actor, playwright and member
of the theatre faculty at Rockland Com• munity CoJieac, is allbwing the production, followina various clearances by
SUNY \epl authorities and the Brecht
eotate. The UB ata&amp;ina of Th• Caucasian
CluJik Clrcl•, reports Elkin, is the lint
\ production of the pJay in New York in a
lqng time. He adds that Eric Bentley,
-renowned Brecht translator, critic and
ex-UB faculty m~mbcr, assured the
B.recht estate that the UB troupe would
likely give the play an interesting reading.
lkin hopes the UB acton, especially
thoae with little professional expeE
rieDCC, will benefit from the obviously
enrichina chance to perform on a New
York stage, and through contacts with
Symphony Space's attistic and technical
staffs. Elkin's production of the famous
play, with its my1hical and political overtones and rapid displays of irotiy, is in
workshop form, with the head of the UB
acting program cast opposite an undergraduate senior.
The UB ata&amp;ing of Th• Cauctuilln
CluJ/k Clrck will he performed with only
thoae costumes found in and around a
theatre, and/ or with theatrical objects
from put UB productions which may
shed light on a character's penonality, or
on theeompluity and dramatic fervor of'
Brecht himlelf. The aovernor, who is
later killed ina civil waraetinthe Ruuian
Caucasus, will wear a large medallion
worn by Gloucester in a put production
of Kl"' uar, and his wife wiU span a
tiara worn by a character in a Moliere
play.
Elkin is using Bentley's Enalish translation from the German ori&amp;inal. John
Burlthardt, a UB student, will play a
piano reduction of the incidental music
written for tho play by Brecht collaborator Paul Deuau, the German conductor
and compoMr of theatre music, oratoriOI, cantatu, and orebcatral, chamber

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community.

expand these concepts into commercial
entities.
.. Presently, t his Universit y conducts
$42 million in research each year," Sa mple said . "I would like to increase this
amount to $80 million within te n years.
This contribution will help us do that. "
Added Carter, " The resea rch park will
9oordi nate well with other developments
in Western New York and add to t he
potential already here. We look at th is
new facility as a complement t o existi ng
industrial parks in the area."

he new facility will a id local compaT
nies that have a need for research
and development, but ca nnot afford th e
cost involved in setting up their own R &amp;
D departments, Carter said.
" We are very interested in developing
cooperative research with local ind us-.
tries," he commented ...The majority of R
&amp; D directors oflocal companies - there
are approximately 100 - have indicat.ed

t remendous interest in j oint researc h vent ures with the University. With t he new
facility, such ventures will require no capital investments by the companies."
P resident Sample remarked: "It is
worth noting that 154 years ago Bill
Baird's great-gra ndfather built the fi rst
iron-making blast fu rnace west of the
Alleghenies. Now, with the decline of our
once great steel-making industry, it is fort unate tbat today's patriarch ofthe Baird
fa mily, Bill Baird, bas stepped fo rward to
help develop a new a nd most adapta ble
industry fo r Buffalo. From steel-making
to semi ~o ndu ctors, the vision of the
Baird fa mily has prove n most fort unate
for Buffal o a nd the University."
In accepting t be gift, UBF Chairman
Jeremy M . J acobs said , "The Baird family of Buffalo has, for the past 95 years,
been int imately involved in the development of o ur city and the University. Their
belief in the future of Buffalo, in its industry, culture and educat ion of youth, and
their support helped ·in the development
of the Q ueen Ci ty.
"Today," be add ed, "with Buffalo suffering through the most radical change in
its history, Willia m Baird has continued
his family t radition of hel ping. This cont ribution for t he development of an inde-

pend ent research park at UB will, without question. help Buffalo adjust to
today's changes and be prepared for
tomorrow. The Board of Trustees of the
UB Foundatio n are honored by this
magnificent contribution and applaud
the continued foresigh t .o r Bill Baird."
he Baird family has presented a
number of major gifts to UB. The
T
Sf .5 million Center for Tomorrow on the
Amherst Campus, opened last year as a
conference facility, was dedicated in
honor of Mr. Baird, who was a major
contri butor to its funding. Donations
from the Baird famil y also made possible
the establishment of Baird Point, a threecol umned structu re patterned after a
Greek amphitheater, on the edge of Lake
LaSalle on the Amherst Campus.
The Amhe rst Campus also houses the
Frank B. a nd Cameron Baird Music
Hall, named for William Baird 's late
father and brother. Cameron Baird established the Ul,l Music Department in 1951 ;
the Cameron Baird Foundation bas also
made many generous contributions to the
University.
Willia m Baird has served on the UB
Counci l for 40 years, ten as chairman. In
1981 , he was na med one of the first five

recipients &amp;f SUNY's Distinguished Citizen Awards, presented to .. honor citiu:ns
of the State of New York who exemplify
. the highest standards of public servtce."
His past honors include the UB Chancellor's Medal; his naming as " Western
New Yorker oftbe Year" by the Chamber
of Commerce in 1977 and "Citizen of the
Year" by the Buffalo N• ws; a Red Jacket

Earlier in the day. a scientific session
was held in Child ren's Hospital. The six
disti nguished speakers were all fo nner
residents or associates of Dr. Rubin. Dr.
Aceto spoke on "Doctor Shopping with a

how the reasons for unsuccessful treat·
ment of child patients with complicated
symptoms a nd multiple ailments can
so metimes be traced to emotionaUy and
psychologically d isturbed parents. The
behavior a nd hypochondria of such
parents may not only induce psychosomatic d iseases in the child but may actually. hamper proper treat ment through
irrational d istrust of doctors.

inspiring teacher and outstanding physician whose
creed was that 'all c hildren

These were some of the words used to
describe Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin, the man
who propelled the University's Pediatrics
Department and the Children's Hospital
to national prominence after 1945. A day
of honoring ceremonies and scientific
sessions marked Friday, October 7 as
"Dr. Mitchell I. Rubin Recognition
Day, •beld at Children's Hospital and the
Marrioll Hotel.
Dr. Rubin came to the University in
1945 as the first full-time professor a nd
chairman of the Department of Pediatrics. He arrived at a time when the medical school was gradually shifting from the
old practitioner-professortradition, which
emphasized hospital patient diagnosis
and treatment. to the modern academic
professor tradition, which emphasizes
medical 'research as well. Dr. Rubin
modeled the Pediatrics Department after
the academic-oriented program of Johns
Hopkins, where he had previously spent
more than three years.
It was his academic and researchoriented approach that led him to
upgrade the Medical School's Pediatrics
Department. Dr. Rubin, in his gentle but
persuasive way, managed to attract a host
of fine physicians to the University, covering every specialty of pediatrics. He

through the use of microchips a od kilobytes. What the hand&lt;alculator did for
mathematicians, the word processor is
doing for writers. The computer revolution is storming the once sacrosanct
world of the written word and despite
scattered protests from traditionalislS
who believe anything developed postpapyrus is a bastardization ofthe writing
art, the video display terminal and its
sister software are being welcomed in circles as diverse as. secretarial staffs. journalists and even English professors.
To take advantage of the penonal
computer boom and the Un iversity's
acquisition of dozens of microcomputers
with scores promised to soon follow. the
U B English Department, under the co ordinating direction of Professor Mark·
Shechner, is organizing a pilot program
interfacing traditional composition
courses with basic word processing kills.
Using word processors to compose
may help erase many of the obstacles to
better writing, Shechner explained, not-

will test that hypothesis.
"Many of the stumbling blocks to writing are mechanical - writing. -re--writing,
cutting \and pasting together ... he said .
.. But with a word processor you can rewrite to your heart's content; deleting and
adding words. and moving sentences
around." Word processing, Sheehner
said. makes the sometimes tedious revision process ..simple ....

"W

j&gt;rd processort1 ,;ve the student
ihe opportunity to revise," he
said, .,.and iCs my guess that wing word
. processor~ will make students' writing
better."
While revisions and editing may be
made easier throush word processors, the
computerized machines do add an element, Shechner said, that many find
missing in writing - old fashioned
enjoyment.
"Word processors are just plain fun,"
he said. "Usi114 a processor is like working and playmg at the same time."
Shec:hner believes that if "playfulness" is
introduced into a Jtudent•s writinaenvironment the result will be a "drastic
improvement in his or her desire to
wnte."
Next semester·s trial composition/
computercounes will be held in the Language Learning Lab on the fint noor of
Clemens Hall. Already the Lab is stocked
with nine Digital Equipment Corporation
(DEC) Rainbow microcomputers which
will, with the required software, double
as word proce:s ors for the no vi« computer authors. According to hec:hner. the
counes will be taught by either graduate
students or professors who already have
word processing experience. The only
student prerequisite, he added, is "good
typing skills."
However, the basic scope of the computer/ composition counes will not differ
much from other non-RAM-and ROM-ired English sections. "The
counes will be aboolutely the same, only
the method of writing is different,"
Shec:hner emphasized. "We want to teach

Yet Shechner acknowledaes that many
academicians, even his English department coUcaaues, are suspicious of
machines that usist in one of man., most
creative endeavortl, writiD&amp;- " A lot of
people are afraid of machinery andmany
humanists are like that," Shechner noted.
"But those are irrational fears because

(to more advanced text technology) is

analogy to the struggle for

that the law is inadequate to deal with
racial problems.
Speaking in the Moot Court Room of

professors as "worthwhile supplemental
additions" to that book.
Before a crowd of about 225, Bell
asserted that the Civil Rights movement,
which was once ·~ibrant .. has been
brought to a halt - much like the marathoner who has hit that " predictable wall
of exhaustion after 18 or 20 miles."
The hopes and ambitions of the Black
movement have been frustrated by a barrier, he said, and the law is incapable of
dealing with it because it is based on class
stratification.

explained . "It plays the role of
maintaining the subordination of
Blacks."
The law, he said, is formed in the interestsofthcbourgeoisie. Whites are willing
to "improve the lot of a small number of
mi9orities" but not the entire race,
mainly because, in Bell's view, having
Blacks below them provides mental serenity in knowing that someone is and
always will be, "below them" in social
class.
Getting beyond this marathon runner's
wall may be impossible despite strong
efforts, he went on, continuing the analogy, because "some runners are not destined to win. Many runners train hard but
they're maybe just too small, for exam-

clarified this by saying, ""What the law

goal. It's better 10 be moving somehow in
that direction and not be passive....
He traced the plight of Blacks through
history beginning with the forming oft he
Constitution of the United States. Blacks

were the sacrificial lambs, he claimed.
Because the Southern states wouldn't
have ratified the document if slavery had
not been legal, the Northern states "compromised. The larger issues of economic
concern" took priority over the ••jndividual (Black] concerns" and set the precede_nt for future behavior toward Blacks.
ln.corporatt'ng pot"nts brought to -light
in ""two thoughtful"boo1c reviews, one by
Sidney Willhelm, UB sociology professor, and the other by Alan-Fre"eman, UB
law professor, Bell built upon his arguments.
Freeman voiced concern about the
method of teaching such .. pessimistic"
views tO ..enthusiastic young law students." Admitting this as a valid point,.
Bell stressed that his viewpoint is really
not as bleak as it seems. While most seekers of racial justice search for the ultimate
solution, be is not sure that one exists or if it does, if it woUld be what Blacks
want. "We wanted to sit at the lunch
counter, then got there and didn't like
what they were serving," be quipped.

he struggle is what's imponant that and the gains made along the
way. "So to teach students - we tell them
the truth - tbat even if we work hard,
we're not ensured success. There is no
social formula to solve all of the racial
problems. Teach them to review the
issues and inform future lawyers of where
to go from here."
Willhelm'scritiquesuggestcd a striking
possibility - tbat perhaps Blacks could
not survive the struggle. The Black poverty rate is more than three times tbat of
the white population and the unemployment rate two times as high. .. h could be
insurvivable ... Willhelm is not being
extravagant," Bell admitted, pointing
also to tbe "weakening fabric" of the
Black family. Forty..:ight per cent of
Black families are headed by females
alone and Black males are worse off
~loyment-wise than they were "ten or
enn 20 years ago."
Bell stressed the need for Blacks to recognize tbis and work against "exploita0
tion of the group as a scapegoat."

FES is concerned with quality &amp; improvement of teacher ed
By JILL-MARIE ANOIA
riticisms posed by the National
Commission on Excellence in
Education and other groups
have sparked interest in the
quality of the nation's schools. Hen: at
UB, Dean of Educational Studies Hugh
Petrie and Director of Undergraduate
Educational Studies Dr. Rodney Doran
are both concerned with the quality and
improvement of the Teacher Education
Program.
Dean Petrie views the problem of
maintaining quality in teacher education
as a ...relatively minor one when compared to problems like career structures
for teaching and salaries paid to
teachers ... However. he does recogniu:
the need for proper 1-raining of teachers
on the undergraduate and graduate level
and finds fault with many institutions.
.. Teacher Education is carried on in an
enormous number of different kinds of
institutions of enormously different qual~
ity. In New York State alone there are
approximately 100 different institutions
which certify teachers ... ranging all the
way from teacher training that goes on in
a diverse university like UB, to small pia·
ces which are nothing more than a little
teacher training kind of department."
Dean Petrie sees this diversity u the
source of the variability in the quality of
stude'nts who earn teacher ccnification.
The Educational Studies program at
UB bas many unique and advantageous
features. At the undergraduate level, no
students are allowed to ··major .. in educa·

C

tion. Rather, tho~ who are pursuing a
content major degree (such as Math.
Science, English. Fon:ign Language,
Social Studies. Music, and Physical Edu·
cation) may apply to the department and
"minor .. in teacher education. Those who
are accepted and complete the requirements earn a five· year provisional certifi·
cation in teaching in adaition to the
degn:e. This method of certification
ensures that the graduate has a strong
background in the subject he/ she is certi~
lied to teach.
two semester program is available to
those who have already earned a
con tent degree and wish to earn provi·
sionalteacher certification. The program
allows the student to complete the neccs·
sary education courses and the student
teaching rcquire.ments in a condensed
period of time. The program also allows
students to earn graduate credits applicable towards a master's in education.
An' important part of the n:gular as
well as the two semester program for provisional certification is the student teachingex~rience. The student is required to
s~nd time in a school observing and paruc· iiJ.g in actual classroom settings.
The student teacher begins working at a
school for four hours a week and eventu·
ally completes his/ her time there by partictpating full-time for eight weeks.
The requirements for admission into
these programs. which are currently
under revision. are quite high by
national standards. They include a min·
imum of a l .OQPA. thn:e interviews, and

A

a content exam. Under consideration is

the addition of a writing exam requirement. This idea is supported by Dean
Petrie who notes that ••studies have
shown that the most successful teachers
have high verbal ability." Currently the
programs graduate 4()..50 students yearly.

Saniple wants UB among public top 10
B can move into t he ranks of
the nation's to p 10 public insti·
t utions in the next decade,
President Steven B. Sample
said in his se'cond a nnual report on the
State of the Univenity in Slee Hall Tuesday. The add ress was both a report on
progress and a prospectus for the fu ture.
Sample descri bed a strong and vital
university bu t one which needs to continue maki ng progress in areas such as
research, improvement of the quality of
student life, and recruitment of students
in arts and sciences fields (both graduate
and undergrad uate). The President also
urged the State to provide both more
reso urce priority and more flexi bility in
usi ng those resources if the University is
to remain vital.

U

plays a key role in this area, the
said, contrib uting nearly
U BPresident

$400 million a year to the local economy,

award ing 5,000 degrees annually, generating $40 million in total research expenditures, contributing $400 miUion a year
to the local eco nomy, and sustaining an
estimated 21,000 off-campus jobs. The
University is the la rgest si ngle-division
employer in the area and many major
ind ustries, part icularly the heal th care
indust ry, are increasingly dependent on
the institution, Sample repo rted.
The University plays a significant role
in the education of local professionals
and in teracts closely with t he fi ne arts in
Western New York, Sample said.
Within S UN Y, he conti nued, UB is t he
largest unit, "the only truly comprehensive universi ty." We are ranked among
the to p 30 un iversities in the natio n in the
latest assessment of gradu ate programs;
" o~r professio nal programs are in the top
30 in comparison to their respective peer
programs around the country;" .. our
research library certainly ranks in th e top
30 and the Jy:alth sciences library pro bably ranks m the top 10 or perhaps
higher. " Salaries for facult y are a mong
the top 10 of all public institutions in the

u.s.

In terms of research, Sample said , ..l he
picture is less bright. This is a principal
area of weakness ... ; however, if we
include the grants and contracts held by
faculty at Roswell Park and affiliated
hospitals, we probably would rank
among the top SO institutions in the
country."'
Overall, Sample assessed, "the Un iversity at Buffalo probably ral)lr.s among the
top 30 research univenitid~ n the country" - out of some 3,000 institutions of
higher learning across the nation.
"Although this is impressive," be said,
"I must say to you, as I say to myself, that
moving this institution into the next tier,
into the top 20 or even into the top 10 of
all public institutions, will require a tremendous effort on all our parts, because
the competition is extremely lr.een. However, I believe that during the next 10
yean the Univenity at Buffalo can move
tnto the ranks of the top 10 public universities and top 20 public and private
universities."

the debilitating staff cuts we have suffered , I am very optimistic about the
future ."
One notable achievement, the President· said, is the increase that has been
effected in pay for teaching assistants and
graduate assistants. The Middle States
Association accrediting team pointed out
last fall tbe d isastrously low level ofthese
salaries. A " massive internal reallocation
of funds" to address tbe issue followed,
the President reported. More than $1.25
million was allocated in 1983-84 for
increases in GA / T A stipends, he aaid,
moving U Bin a single year from a ranlr.ing well below tbe competition to a place
sliabUy above the averqe pay offered by
other major public resean:b universities.
"We are delettDiacd to stay competitive

Construction progress over the past 15
months has also been encouraging, the
President reported. Squire Hall renova·
tion and expa nsion is coming along well ,
with Foster Hall just about finished.
When these projects arc done, the President indicated, ... our dental school will
have some of the finest teaching and
research facilities in the U.S." Abbott
Library rehab is progressing at Main
Street as is the addition to Farber Hall.
At Amherst, Phase I of Alumni Arena
was opened and Phase 11 is ahead of
schedule. Taken together, Sample said.
"they form truly a world class facility. I
know of no one institution public or private that has a better indoor athletic facility." Along with Alumni Arena, the President noted, the soon-to-be-completed
student actixity building and its one-acre
garden will materially improve the quality of undergraduate student life. Con·
struction is proceeding on the Management building, and the new Social
Sciences structure and a computing center should he underway this fall. In addition, the President announced, the facilities staff ha~ been working all year with
the State University Construction Fund
on planning a football and track facility
to he built south of Capen Hall near existing parlting lots. The facility will be con·
structed utilizing a "bowl and berm"

hollowed out and the di rt piled on the
sides of t he resulting bowl. This provides
a surface on which permanent se~ting can

3,000 permanent concrete seats will be
constructed . Seating will be "readil y

need arises ....
On the research front , Sample reported
t hat grant proposals are up I0 per cent
this year, and their dollar value by 30 per
cent. A major change in SUNY Research
Foundation policy will resuh in at least a
half millian dollars more in overhead
fu nds from grants and contracts being
returned to this campus during the coming year. A research advisory council of

but. be said, ...we also have to worry about
the educational infrastructure .... We
simply cannot continue to take IOOor 200
lines out of the University every yea r
without destroying this institution. we·re
making a tragic mistake, and we have to
stop that mistake."
Finishing th e basic physical plant of
the campus is a second budget priority,
Sample said. " We need only three more
buildinp constructed on the Amherst
Campus in addition to those already
funded, contracted and under way. Just
three more buildings: one for mathematics, a geology and classroom building,
and a theater-gallery." Only eight more
major renovations of existing buildings
are yet to be done, he said, especially on
the Main Street Campus. "But as long as
those buildings are uncompleted, the feeling of dislocation a Oil spiritual disruption
will continue at our University. I'm persuaded !bat the finishing of the Amherst
Campus and of the Main Street Campus
is absolutely essential to the improvement oft he quality of undergraduate. student life and to the improvement of the
quality of our academic programs.
Because of the important role we play in
the State, I think finishing this campus is
important to all the people of New York."
A third budget prionty, said Sample,
has to do with nexibility. "We'Ve received
some encouragement from the State
bureacracy in this area. There's so me
indication we will be given increased flexibility in tbc year or two ahead." The
President said he has been advised by
campus busioess officers that we could
save over Sl million a year at UB alone,
"if we were simply allowed to operate like
practically every other major state university in the country. 1 believe, .. he said.
.. that we can no longer afford the inordi·
nate inefficiency that goes with a highly
centralized system or bureaucratic con·
trol ..,.t I'm encouraged that more and
more people in the State believe that
same way."

oth major and minor changes in academic organization will be made this
year, Sample announced. "I am persuaded that our interesll would be best
served by having a single chief academic
officer [a provost) for tbc University," be
said. All Universoty deans will report to
tbc provost as will the dean of Lbc Gradu·
ate School and the director of University
Libraries. Havina a provol!, the Presi·
dent continued, "focu~e~ the concerns of

is also seeking nominations from the

Recruiting arts and sciences students
to the Diversity is a major objective in
need of greater ~mphuis, the President
said. Successful recruitment in this area is
essential to stopping the reallocation or
resources awav from the arts and sciences
into professional schools, he said. " It is
also important to relieve the overcrowd·
ing we have now in many of our professional disciplines." To aid in that
recruitment, lie SUIUICSied, "we need to
build on our strengths as a com prehensive research univ~rsity by developing
new minors for an.s and sciences maJOrs.
A model for such minors already exists in
the field of education where arts and
sciences majors ca n, with just a moderate
amount of additional work. become ccr~
tilied u teachers in their respective disciplines. -we could have similar minors in
such fielcb as manaacmcnt, en&amp;ineering

President proposed. He also talked about
offering potential aru and sciences
majors early admission to profeuional

B faculty in the humanities are
uked to heed a call for
nominations of hiably-quatificd student-candidates for
Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities,
created by The Andrew W. MeUon
Foundation. The objective of the prestigious awards, says Faculty of Arts and
letters Dean James H. Bunn, is to attract
annually 10 to 125 "exceptionally promisina• students into preparation for
careen ln humanistic teacbina and
scholarship.
•
Nominations. restricted to two per
faculty member, must be ocnt directly to
the regional chairman, Alain Scmcc,
dean oftbc College of Arts and Sciences
at Cornell Uni\-ersity, 234 Go ldwinSmith Hall. Ithaca 148S3. Deadline is
November 4, 1983.
For the initial nomina;tina step; a
faculty member need submit only a brief
nominating letter, conveyi na tbc individ·
ual'l name, college, current addreas, proposed field of study and curre nt status as
a senior or recent araduate. As a acneral
rule, UB faculty nominators should
reserve extended comment for tbc letter
of recommendation form they will eventually receive on behalf of an active candidate. On receipt of tbc nomination. it
&amp;bould be noted, the reaional chairman at
Cornell wiU write to the nominee to
invi te him or her to become an active
candidate.
Dean Bunn uks that UB faculty send
bim copies or initial nominatina letters
(810 Clemens Hall).
Nominees may be either 19114 gradual·
ina seniors or recent araduates (ncxibly
defined), who are U.S. or Canadian cittz.cns and who have not yet enrolled In a
araduate pro~am in one of tbc traditional humanulcs d isciplines. Tbc10 arc

The compc1ition'l national committee
war~~~ that this is a hiahly 10lccsive fcllowohip, and not "limply an added souroc of

Albany interns learn how State really works
By MARY KUNZ
" I t ' s a unique perspective on State
government that you don' get out
of textbooks. The best thing was
the contacts, the knowledge of
how the State government works."
UB Political Science major David
Flynn bad been bored with his classes, so
he decided to pursue a different path
toward learning. With a number of other
studenu from throughout New York
Slale, b~ applied for and was acc~pted
into .,. internship program in the State
Legislature which allowed him to take off
for Albanr for a semester. There, in the
State cap1tal, he immersed himself in
State politics, doing everytbina from
"&amp;ofer" work to heavy.&lt;Juty research. He
found that political knowledae means
more than memorizing the Preamble to
the Constitution or reciting the list of
State capitals.
"I enjoyed it a lot," be beamed. "You
Jet to know studenu from many other
parts of the State." Even an enthusiastic
scholar, though, can run into rroblems,
u Flynn cheerfully admitted . " fdt like I was going to be a major mover in State
aovemment," he laughed. "It knocked
lOme serue into me."
This spring, I SO more studenu who
either reside or ao to school in N~w York
State will have the opportunity to travel
to Albany and discover the world of Slate
politics. The time to apply, b o - . is
now. Political Science Profcuor Donald
B. Rosenthal, 640 Baldy Hall, bu the
Deeaoary information. Applic:alions are
due by October 17. Both junion and
~enion are eligible.
'
Each otudent picked for the ~
(UB bad three lut year) will be ualpled
to a particular Auemblymall or Seaator.
Working d01ely with his or her "-mblyman, the 11udmt will allo auend

addition, be or abe may earn up to .J S

$1,000.
Money, however, is of relatively little
itaportaDce heR. The lludeall who have
been to Albany and baclt contend the

experience was priceless.
"You become part of the democratic
process - you can have a real, practical
part in a bill that can become law," marvelled Daniel Becker, a fonner intern a nd
the president of UB's Political Science
Club.
Jennifer Nelson, another Albany veteran, agreed.
"It's valuable for the educational process, learning what the real world is,"she
commer\ted.
he real world, lt turned out, is a far
from the comfortable UB world
T cry

of textbook: a!"d seminars. For aU the
interns, getting one's feet on the groiiiid
in Albany proved confusing, to say the
least. Becker soon discovered that Marxist revolutionary theory, however fasci~
nating it bad seemed in class here, was of
little use in the State Assembly. And
Flynn began to worry that his only calling
in State government was typina or filing.
"For the lint couple of weeks," he

"The amount of paperwork is amaz·

the office of Assemblyman Maurice Hinchuy. She was impressed that, over a span
of two years, 8,000 bills can be introdueed. Nelson's office was a busy one,
with two interns instead of the usual one.

acknowledged Nelson.
fter they had suffered through the
__ f!_n t few tough weeks, as well as a
not·too--helpful orientation program.l~C
interns began getting a feel for what was
going on. Becker offered a few survival
tips.
"As an intern, you become friends with
other interns, a.nd you get other inside
stories,.. he said. "ThaCs a major
resource."
Becker also learned another trick of the
trade. Identifying himself on the phone as
"Assemblyman Goldstein~ office," he
found , brouaht better results than introducing himself as Goldstein's intern.
"The government bureaucracy really
bits you," be explained. "Once you stop
saying you're an intern, there's oreal big
difference."
Gradually, u the weeb passed, pieces
of the puzzle of State aovernment began
fallina into place. The interns were
amazed at their previous misconceptions.
Lookina badt on theirdizzyi~ introductioo to State affain, they're d11mayed at
tbe way moot other studenu think - or
fail to think - about State politics.
"Stuclcnll tend to underestimate Slale

The internships also gave the students
faith in the power oft he people. The key
to carrying weight in government, they
observed, is unity and organization.
" You realize the power of lobbyists,"
Nelson asserted. "If students were organized, they'd be a very powerful group."
She pointed out that some activist organ·
izations, such as NYPIRG, are ineffective
because they're "so uninfonned, so disorganized." As an example, she remembered a group of students who left a rude
note on Assemblyman Hinchuy's office

said.
"One thing you get out of the internship,"Beckerobserved, "is political awareness, the knowledae that your vote

"A lot of people donl know their

regime to checkmate the growing power
of the working classes?
Qu ite possibly, insists Mar xis t
Dietrich Eichholtz, a visiting East
German historian, in addressinf the
controversial role of "'big busmess"'
during the formative years of the Nazi
Reich.
Quoting eminent Communist scholars,
Eichbolu attempted to demonstrate to
the, at times, incredulous audience, the
methods used by Hitler and his business
supporten to increase the economic
might of what the East German called
"state-monopoly capitalism," a marriage
of the national government and the ruling
bourgeoisie to crush the "class slnlggle of
the oppressed and the exploited.
"The facts show that the ruling class in
a fascist dictatorship enforce their
interest not only through a whole number
of direct and indirect government
controls. but that they do so j n a much
more conccnrated manner, with far
greater effectiveness than in a parliament·
ary republic," Eichholtz contended. He
added that a relatively "small pan of the
bourgeoisie, the financial oligarchy. are
the social bearers of the fasicst dictatorship." Thus, only the most reactionary
and aggressive circles tend to be represented in a fascist regime, he said, with particularly cJevastating results for the work·
ing classes. which .. big businessmen .. and
their governmental puppets view as
·obstacles toward a greater economic
prosperity.
According to Eichholtz, the Hitlerian
dictatorship, the ideal model for his theory. was just another avenue for German
business to exploit the masses and
expand their economic might. .. For
doeadel (the German monopoly capitalists) Jlunued reactionary domestic and
expaoaiooiat foreilo policies, through aU
victories and defeats, no matter whether
the Kaiser, Strcsemann or Hitler were at

"Tbe buic conception of imperialist

Dr. Genco, a native of Dunkirk, N.Y.,
was named to receive the honor for his 15
yea rs of research contributions into the
causes, prevention and treatment of dental diseases - notably dental caries and
periodontal (gum) disease.
Among his accomplishments have
been significant studies on the antibody
••soldiersn of the immune system, the role
they play in denLill caries and their action
in periodontal disease. His work has
made a significant contribution in current concepts of the importance of eliminating certain bacteria from the oral cav-

ity -to prevent the gum disease which is a
major cause of tooth loss among most
adults over 35. He has also ·Studied the
benefits of anli·microbial drugs such as
the tetracyclines in treatment of the problem. His earlier work in caries research
bas helped pave the way for current
studies which may eventually lead to a
vaccine to prevent dental decay.

BACCHUS wants to spread the news- good &amp; bad
By MARY ICUNZ
ome people simply get drunk,
while othen prefer to get tipsy,
shellacked, cockeyed or squiffed.
Some simply call it booze, while
otben like such glowing terms as
moonshine, grog, or hair-of-the-&lt;log.
Whatever words you prefer, alcohol is a
definite pan of life on campus. Ever since
the Middle Ages, when Oxford students
gathered at pubs and students at
Heidelberg sta&amp;Fred home at dawn from
beer balls, drinlcing bas bad a place in
student life.
Like Oxford or Heidelberg, UB bas its
share of student drinken.Unfortunately,
while few people would want to bring the
bottle down from its hallowed position in
the balls of learning, alcohol on campus
can often lead to problems.
"A lot of people think they know a lot
about alcohol, and they really don,,"
explained Victor Stoiber&amp;, the president
of the Jr&amp;duate chapter of BACCHUS, a
national organization of college students
&lt;OilllCerned about alcohol that has
recently spread to UB. Stolberg and Dick
Heffron, president of the underfl"&amp;"uate
chapter of BACCHUS, are dolDJ their
best to see that students bocome better
informed about alcohol and its effects.
This week is Alcohol Awareness Week,
and UB studenta, faculty and lta1J will
have the opportunity to learn about the
good and not-so-good effects of spirits in
a series of campus events.
Stolbers stresaed that BACCHUS is
not a teetolalling organization, ariel that
it does not condemn drinking. BACCHUS (wbieb, incidentally, stands for
Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students)
"recoJnizes that io moderation alcohol
use on campus is an integral and
leptimate pan of student social life. "The
orpnization, while pointing out harmful
uses of alcob.ol. seeks also to promote
alcohol's positive aspects.
"We st.ress responsible drinlting, that
drinltins isn' tbe only reason for a
party," Stolbera explained. "A large
pereeotaF of students drink. but we
reco.,UZ,. tbat some don,. We're tryinl
to let people know there are alternatives,
and aettina people to drink at their own
rate, and we're lettina people know bow
much it takes to get people intoxicated.
We're trying to discourage irresponsible
behavior."
BACCHUS's UB chapter was established u an adjunct to the Alcohol
AW&amp;rellell Program, a service tbat bas
existed here for five yean. Like
BACCHUS, the Alcohol AW&amp;rellell
Proaram favors knowledge, not abaten-

S

"We don' preach teetot&amp;lism;: ~id
Gerry Thorner, a counsdina psycbolosist
at UB's Counsetina Center and founder
of the Univenity's Alcohol Awam&gt;ess
Program. "We preach responsibility. We
know that teetotalism doesn' work ."

1

t's difficult to determine bow much
gr[;.ot':s ~:d~lc=:..w~~'7~~'1.
to tell the extent of alcohol abuse at U B.
... Lots of students with drinking problems don' come for help.'' Thorner
declared. "You can' do it by younelf. It's
the exceptional penon who can kick
alcohol by himself."
One thing the program bas aocomplished is· promoting alternatives to
drinking at campus social activities.
"The Pub used to bave Friday nigbt
specials to promote all this drinltina. and
they've stopped," Thorner said. "Our
message bas been permeating tbe
Utiiversity."
Under the dirCetion of Stolberg and
Heffron, BACCHUS will be reaching the
University community through films,
commuter breakfasts, and workshops
held in the do
.. We make suggestions like havi ng nonalcoholic beverages~vai lable at panics,
and provid ing fo~o les en the effects
of drinltina). We're encouraaina people
to enjoy drinks and not guule them,"
volunteered Stolberg. who daims to
enjoy drinking u much as anyone.

It's imponant

watch what ont guz·

l.les, especially when one cons ide,.. that a

blood alcohol level of . 10 per cent is
enough to make one legally drunk in New
York State. This level tan be easily
reached by consuming a few drinks in a
short period of time. Statistically, 9S per
cent of college students drink, and 10 per
cent of the drinking population is said to
be alcoholic. Therefore, it's possible (but
not proven) that, as Stolberg put it,
"there could be 2,000 alcoholics running
around UB." (This seems eredible, when
one discove,.. that the average age of
alcoholics in the United States is
dropping from the SO's to the 20's.)
Thorner acknowledged that there was

"A lot of
people think
they know
about
drinking
but don't."

about alcohol
little chanoe of accurately reportin&amp; thO
extent of t.be alcoholism problem at UB,
but stresaed that the above statistics bave
not been proven to apply to this
University. He did say, bo-r, that "a
lot of students abuae alcohol here."
Some of this alcohol abuae, Thorner
said, is in the form of combining aloobol
with dru_., a practice be warns is
"excruciattngly dangerous.
"Alcohol potentiates drugs - it makes
their effect much areater," be said.
Marijuana, he noted, poses a special
problem, since it's hard to tell how strong
the drua is. unless one smokes very little.
Also terribly dangerous, he warned, are
Quaaludes and alcohol, and barbituates
and alcohol.
"Tbe effects are unpredictable in
different people," be said.
Alcohol, Thorner pointed out. is an
anesthetizing drug it k.ills one's
judament and masks the effect of other
drup. This means that a IIUdent who is
drinking while takina other drup won'
be able to use judament on what he
consumes, or feel bad side effeds.
"People think that if you take an upper
with a downer, they cancel each other
out, and you come out even," he said.
"That 'I a myth."
ispellina myths about alcohol is the
central purpose of Alcohol AwareD
ness Week. Thorner hopes that the week
will provide "a aeneral u:r,aradina of
people's knowledge of the rua. and let
people know that we ddave a aroup
here, and that help isavailallle if someone
does have a drinltina problem."
Stolbera believes tbat knowledae of
alcohol's effects and dangers can do far
more to improve drinkina habits than
any laws can.
"You ean' leplate aomethina lit
that," he asserted. "You
pau a law
and u~ people to chanae. They bad
Prohibition and people drank anyway.

"We\le ot an emphasis on social
activities. \

Stolhera explained. He urled students
that now is tbe time to reform drinkina
habits.
"The drinl&lt;ina patterns they form in

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

From page I

The mainframe administrative computer, the Sperry 1100/ gO, was upgraded
during the summer, and is scheduled to
be upgraded further to an 11001g2 by
June, 1984, Martens said. New software,MAPPER, will make it extremely
efficient.
Plans call for academic departments to
gain access to this system, now used by
Admissions and Records, DUE, Financial SerVices and other administrative
departments.
ult is now in the process of being
opened up to academic offices, primarily
deans and offices with large enrollments
that need it the most, •• Martens
explained. This will give these offices
access to student data such as registration
and grading files (reached through
OLGA, for "on-line grading analysis'').
Bob Wagner, vice president for university seMces, heads a committee to review
departmental applications to gain access
to OLGA, Martens said, with need being
the primary criterion applied .
change that will have a major impact

A for students is the continuing acqui"rition of microcomputers for student use,
with new miero labs b~ing set up on
--campus.
Eighty new Digital t;:quipment Corp.
(DEC) Rainbows have been received
already, with 45 more expected within a
couple months. Nine Apple lie's are now
housed in the Apple Lab in 374 Baldy,
with six more expected soon. Martens
hopes to acquire 40 lBM PC's (personal
computers), also.
..
· Money for the purchase of_ the micros
is coming primarily through the student
access fee imposed last year. SUNY is
appropriated $3.9 million from the
money generated by the $22.75 / student
{ee. \JB's share this year was $530,000,
Martens said, with two-thirds of the
money going for micros, and the
remJinder for terminals and data
communications.
Acquisition of . the micros is being
slowed down by the State Finance Law,
Martens remarked, which mandates that
any equipment costing more than $5,000
go out to bid. Unfortunately, Martens
said, the State will not generally include
service contracts - a major consideration with cOmputer hardware - in the
general specifications, so that problems
can arise with ftOOr service.
The hold-up •n acquisition oft he IBMPC's is the State's term contract agreement with a retailer, who provides a 15
per cent discount for small.quantity purchases. But when a large quantity purchase is desired, IBM will furnish a 30 per
cent discount, Martens said.
"The Chancellor's office is pursuing in
a very energetic fashion a way to work
out an arrangement with the Office of
General Services to enter into purchase
· aarecmenu directly with vendors,"
- Martens stated, "not just with IBM, but
with Apple and DEC and possibly others.
I think the preuure is so immense (to
work out the arrangement) that something will be done that will allow us to get
access to some of the very attractive educational computer packages that vendors
haYC put toaether."
Lack of aucb an arrangement is preYenting Martens from gettina the 40
IBM-PC's be wants.

"an experiment," Martens commented,
"most of the pressure that I feel is to
satisfy the 'real' demands for computing
services in Engineering, Sociology, Psychology, Computer Science, Mathematics and so on. When we suggest that we
should also begin to pay attention to the
non-traditional areas, people need a little
guidance that this is something that also
should be considered. This is a verr interesting and meaningful expans1on of

Study a~sesses the need for classroom.s
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
stud y will be released tomorrow to Vice Presidents Doty
and Wagner that will indicate if
a need exists for addit ional
classroom facili ties at UB over the ne xt
five year period.
The study will look at both wha t might
be done on an interim basis and over the
long-term. If a long-term need is documented , addit io nallceture halls could be
incorporated in a Geological Sciences
project slated for com pletion in early

1988.

The University cannot build any additional facilities unless it can j ustify the
.need to Albany through use of a space
generation formula devised by SU Y"s
OffiC"C of Capital Facilities, noted Dick

conducted the soon-to-be released study.
The formula takes into consideration
the current and projected number of
FTEs (full time equivalent students) plus
a student 1S major and level. There are five
categories of student levels - under·
classman, upperclassman, master's level
(G I). doctorate level (G2), and pro f~­
sional - with each generating a s~cific
amount of space. Accord ing to this formula., for instance, an underclassman
majoring in a department in Arts and
Letters will generate more classroom
space but less laboratory space than a n
underclassman majoring in chemistry,
and . in general, undergraduates eom·
mand more space than graduate students.

S

orne members of the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee hav~ expressed
co ncern overt he lack of lecture ball space
in both the building now under construe--

tion for the School of Management and
the facility (expected to be underway
later this fall) which is to house several
depanments in the Faculty of Social
Sciences. Management's building whose const ruction is running ahead of
sched uled for com pletion in 1986. Since
neither structure will contain lecture
halls. faculty questioned how the
nitther struct ure will contain lecture
halls. faculty questioned how the
Amherst Campus will be able to sea t the
influ x of students from these areas. many
of whom now have classes on the Main
Street and Ridge Lea campuses.
E.W. Doty, VP for finance and management, indicated .at a meet ina of the
Professional Staff Senate last week that
he didn' think UB will be able to justify
the need fo·r construction of another sin·
gle buildi ng devoted entirely to lecture
ball space.
According to Noll and Harbans
Grover. director of architectural services.
there is actually a surplus of classroom
space on the Amherst Campus. but the
space does not renect UB'1 panicular
needs. The Amherst Campus, they
explained in separ'8. te interviews, was
pla nned in the 1960s when the philosophical approach to ed uca tion called for
small classrooms (which seat 20 to 30
st udents) that foster student-teacher
interact io n a nd a more intimate educational ambience. By the time construe·
tion was underway, however. UB was
already experiencina a need for .la,rger
classrooms. This resulted in a number of
walls being knocked out in adjacent
classrooms in some buildinp on the
Spine in order to accommodate classes of
just over 60.
In the yean that followed. the need for

larger classes continued to grow. rt.layed
oil. Currently. th e average student FTE
here spends about seven hours a week in
lecture halls. which is more time than
students spend in similar sett ings on any
other SUN Y campus, he said .
Knock ing out more walls to house
larger classes just isn't the answer, both
all a nd Grover contend. First. from a
structural sta ndpoint, it isn't always pas·
si ble. But just as important. the class·
roo m that emerges w.he n room s arc com~
bined is long a nd narrow, and from an
instructional point of view, leave much
to be desired .
" 1! '1 like holding c lass on a bus or
t rai n," offers Noll. It'S fine for students
siui ng in front. he adds... but those in back
have d ifficult y seeing the blackboards
and gelli ng involved in the class. Elevated
seat ing would help. he notes . but that
involves raising ceilings. a cos tl y and
often impradical proposition.
he problem. both Noll and Grover
em phasize, is that SUNY looks at the
aggregate amount of instructional space
the University has Op its three campuses,
ignoring the fac t that the space may not
be suited ror its needs. Thus. in order to
justify cons truction o r new classroom
facilities, all relates that U B must devise
a plan which ..crea tivel y" u es its a bun·
dance of undc.rutilind small classrooms.

Friday that he personally favors

University. and that he is considering
creatina the position of vice president for

Banks
Competition might
spur deals on
student accounts

T

By WENDY CONLIN

A

s long as C?n-campus banking

machines continue to s~ck in
plastic cards and spit out fistsful of money, University students and staff seem to be satisfied.
However, an improvement in the type
of accounts offered through the computeT banks and possibly an increase in
bank diversity on campus may be negotiated By the University in the future .
""Negotiating for disco4nts was never
part of the thinking at the onset ,"
explained Assistant Vice President for
Finance and Management Len Snyder.
.. But if other schools are doing it. it might
be something we should look into ...
Rutgers, the State University of N10
Jersey, has one on-&lt;ampus bank servin&amp;
the entire university which offers a special

Student Ch10eking Account. Fidelity
Union Bancorporation offers through
this account free checks, a $2.00 monthly
service charge, unlimited free withdrawals from the Treasury automatic teller,
and no minimum balance. Until this year,
they also dropped the monrhly charge
during the summer months while most
students were not using their accounts.
The two on~mpus banks at UB,
Marine Midland and M&amp; T, offer no specially tailored student account, although
they do have a variety of '&lt;&gt;{lecking
accounts.

However, other negotiating terms
could include advertisi ng assistance from
the University. Accordi.ng to Director of
Quick Bank (M&amp;n Richard Lukasu:wicz the University does distribute bank
leaflets, supplied at the bank's expense, to
freshmen at orientation. "'They do this for
both M&amp;T and Marine Midland."
Representatives from both Marine
Midland and M&amp;T said that negotiations
on this subject could be a possibility. "ll's
definitely something to be explored,"
Snyder said .

Negotiation' at Rutgers may have cen-

tered around the agreement that FideJity
Union remain the only bank on campus.
"I don' think they promised us that
- but it could be," admitted Manager of
the New Brunswick Office of Fidelity
Union Wayne Terranova ... We've been
the only bank on campus for quite a
while."
Rutgirs University representatives
were not available for comment.
At UB banks oq campus are definitely
not guaranteed extluoive tights to the territory. "It states that right in the contract," said Snyder.

hat competition could spur improved
account policies is a real possibility,
according to Snyder. "I could see banks
doing things o n their own as a result ."
Evidence for Snyder•s assumption can
be found i" the already existing dua l
competition . .. We're thinking of coming
out with a new product (account) at
M&amp;T, " explained Lukasu:wicz. "We
want to get the st udents - it's not specifically geared toward them but it wou ld
coincide more with their lifestyles ... He
was unable to give out more informati on
on the proposed account.
Noland pointed out that Mari ne Midland gives students .. some sort of giveaway item"' when opening an account.
.. It 's sort of a premium."'
Ranking of the two ba nks is d ifficult .
Neither bank could supply figures on
how many student accounts presently
exist so nume rical comparison was
impossible. Srudent evalua tions were
vague.
" I don' rully think there's much difference between the two, .. theorized
senior Kevin McGoldrick. "I probably
chose M&amp;T because the line was shone r
when I was signing up for an account or
something. "
In comparing services offered th is may
well be the case. Each offers three different checking accounts and a no-Ooat policy on cashing checks (money deposited
through the machine in rhe form of a
check is immediatel y obtainable in the
form of cash). The checking fees , wittldrawal fees for using the computer, and
monthly maintenance fees, while not tlie
same in the two banks, basically even o,u
in rhe end . "It's a question of what th ·
student's particular need is... Nolan
stressed.
Marine Midland may have more st udents because it is a statewide bank, she
speculated . Junior Dan Bower of Albany
cated this as his reason for going with
Marine Midland.
But ~it's very hard to tell," Lukaszewicz reminded ... We have a significant
slice of tbe pie (student population) too
- a large portion ofUB students live here
yur round and plan to live here when
they graduate."
0

n other points, however, the Universiry would probably draw a blank.
"The banks pay only a nominal rental fee
- Sl50 a month - and draw a tremendous volume of students - this might be
something we could play on," speculated
Snyder.
Lukasu:wicz nixed this idea, saying
that the presence of the two banks oncampus is ~mutually beneficial" to the .
campus and the banks. "That's why the
fee is nominal."
Marine Midland Public Relations
Officer Judy Noland echoed this thought.

0

Marine Midland may hove more cu.tomere beccuue it'• Stcte-wUk.

The two banks were selected .. by vinue
of a bid. " explained Snyder. All banks in
the area were informed in 1980 that the
University was interested in having com~
puter banks on campus. "'The only two
who responded were the ones we have
now, " he continued .
This explains why no nego~iations
were made when-the--contract was drawn
up in August of that yur. " We needed the
banks - we ha~, no negotiating power, ..
clarified Snyder.
Since then, however,.other banks have
inquired about coming on campus . .. lf we
increased the number of banks here, that
could spur better d10als for students and
staff as the competition increased,"' noted
Snyder.
The Office of Finance and Mbgcment looked into inquiries from tnstacard and Metroteller and agreed to reexamine the whole system. ..Computer
banks are universal now," Snyder said.
~we're back at square one we're
going to take a look at the other banks

Wharton 'assumes' no tuition hike for 1984-85
By WENDY CONLIN

" w

assumption that th ere will
be no tuit ion hike incl uded
in the 1984-1985 budget."
reaffirmed State University of ew Yo rk
(SUN Y) Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. as he fielded questions from t he
press foll owing a speech before the Eastern Conference of Alpha Ka ppa Boule at
the Waterfront Hilton Friday. But. said
Wharton. the budget req uest has not
been approved.
He noted that the budget pro posal calls
for a 14 per cent funding increase. and
that .. ten percent of the increase is fixed"
- going towards things which mwt rise
~uc to inflation and negotiated salary
. mcreases.
Other bUdget questions were dismissed
by Wfiarton, who said, .. It's a ll assumption right now."
.
He acknowledged the fact that SUNY
is still on the American Associa tion of
University Professors (AA UP) censure
list because of retrenchment act io n in
1975, but declined comment on it. sa yin&amp; .
... That's related to definite contract
gaining - so I won' comment on it. ~
The Chancellor. who is a lso chai rllUlD
of the Rockefeller ·Foundation and a
member of several corporate boards and
government panels, addressed the issue
of the University's role in economic
development. " The State Universit y of
New York has the most intelligent pool of
talent in New York State. 1 have made a
strong initiative to make that talent
available to the State."
Wharton pointed ou~ however, that
any assistance must fall with in the boundaries of what a universit y ..should be
doing. " It's important not to dlston the
rok: of the University ...
He said t.hat the University ca n try to
be of assistance to businesses and ci ted
.. some 26 centers for busi nesses·· which
arc presently provided by SUNY units to
serve as access points for su ppl ying
information and for upgrad ing the work

On the iss ue o f o bserving Jewis h holida ys in the future , he pointed ou t that
SUNY Ce ntral has stepped o ut of the
conflict. ..There is a provisio n which
leaves the choice (to observe or not to
observe) directly up to t he individual
campuses."
He added that "most acknowledge
them.··
The Chancellor a lso clarified a sta tement made in the past concerning the
closing or consolidat ing of some of the
SUNY campuses. " I said that the
(SUNY) system lost so man y faculty

UB may soon offer SUNY's first doctorate in nursing

nursing in the SUNY system.
On October 12. Dr. LindaAmos ofthc

UB's School of Nuning, Bullough

NEH gra~t to link UB, Buffalo schools
B bas received a $250,000 grant
from the National Endowment
for the Humanities to develop
a humanities teacher training
program for teachers of grades seven
through 12 in tb"e Buffalo Public School
system.
Beginning with a summer institute to
be held on campus in 1984, 30 Buffalo
public school teachers will receive special
training from UB faculty members
Robert Daly, associate professor of English, and Ruth Meyerowitz of the University's American Studies Department.
Daly and Meyerowitz will help teachers
develop new strategies in the teaching of
classic American literature and in classic
works of American history, respectively.
ln addition, Faculty o( Arts and Letters
Dean James H. Bunn will conduct a session on topics associated with general
education. Other Arts and Letters faculty
members will deliver additional lectures
and conduct other sessions on general
education.
"'fhroughout the following academic
year of 1984-85, Daly and Meyerowitz
will, on a weekly basis, go into the city
schools and help these teachers implement many of the teaching strategies
developed the previous summer.

Prof. Rising recalls
student lost in crash
EDITOR:
t has taken me some time to feel able to
write about my brief friendship with W.OQll
Siow, tbe 1983 UB graduate who was killed in
the recent KAL crash. 1 was truly honored to
know this young man who to my mind was the
best possible emlssl.ry of bis home country of
Ma\ayaia.
There a.l'c many ki.ncb of atudent-facu\ly
interactions. It js roo easy for each side to
think only of the negative aspecls of those
relationships: for example, students who dissemble or facult y who fail to prepare. To me,
Woon represented the opposite extreme: he
was one of those students who elevate our
faith in young people.
Quite simply, our relationship· was reversed: Woon was my teacher. As a neophyte
computer science student (and pan-time
instructor), 1 ofien sought' help and guidance
from the Conlputer Se-rvices staff and teaching assistants. Woon was one of those who
helpe-d me most. Among other things be
enjoyed was a gentle sense of humor. It
amused him when I, a faculty member. had to
seek out his assistance on insignificant details
of term_inal usage, but that was a joke we

I

The grant will afso fund a similar institute in the summer of 1985, with as-yetto-be-named participating UB faculty.
Irrespective of future NEH funding,
however, the University's Faculty of Arts
and Letters will continue the institutes
through the summer of 1987, a fact which
impressed the NEH , Bunn said .
n making the announcement, Bunn
and UB President Steven B. Sample
Icommented
: ••we are delighted to be

working with the Buffalo public school
system. This kind of grant is very much in
keeping with our mission as a public university. And we hope this will become a
model for establishing other linkages
with other public school systems."
Added Buffalo Superintendent of
Schools Eugene T. Reville: "The comprehensive scope of the project assures a
continuous process whereby the highest
qualit y of scholarship at the university
level can be shared with public school
teachers, adapted into viable curriculum
materials, and disseminated through inservice (programs) to enough teachers to
make an impact on district - wide
instruction ....
The intent of the NEH-fund~ program is to give ..a l!_ew twist •'to the teach-

1hared and not a put-down. Most of the
limiled operating system management information I now know ,I learned from Woon
Siow.
li1 the context of our relationShip I came to
know the -(,i ne positive attitude of this young
gentleman. "'Oespite the financial limits his
small income placed him 'Under. he never
comp\ained and always looked to the future
with oplimism. His decision to return hcfme at
this time was motivated by two things: first, of
course, hisdetire to see his family, but second,
to try to identify ways he could later contrib-ute to the modernization of his developing
country.
To have such a young life terminated by the
wildest of misfonunes is another sorrY commentary on what we so glibly refer to as civiliution. And in particular Woon Siow"i loss

that I can repay to other students so me of the

Ernest L. Boyer, the foundation 's presiden t, emphasized that the high schools
could not ..carry on their work in isolation." Boyer said in the Chronicle of

measure on the quality of connections

Volume 15, No. 6

'Fossil religions' were. similar from Ireland
By MILT CARLIN
s an astronomer, Dr. Lyle B.
Borst has gazed skyward for
many years.
And as be studied the celestial bodies overhead, be also became
intrigued with ancient, pagan religions"fossil religions," he calls them - many
of which wcrre based on worship of sun
and moon gods.
·
That. in tum, led the UB scientist into a
fuU-blown study of the spread of prehistoric religions in various parts of the
world, with conclusions based primarily
on geometric evaluation of ancient religious sites and evidence - or at least
logical inferences - that the names of
people and places in the vicinity of such
religious sites were derived from the
names of ancient gods.
Dr. Borst, professor of physics and
astronomy here for the past 21 years, and
his wife, Dr. Barbara M . Borst, recently
completed the second of two books,
M~o/ithic Software (Parts I and II), to
record their finding&gt;.
The first book is devoted to prehistoric worship in England and the
.second to such worship on continental
Europe and in the Near East. The Borsts
plan to visit China to obtain information
for a third book covering the Orient.
The title of the books is intended to
explain the research

A

components: ..megalithic" refers to the
still rematn1ng
stones from prehistoric construction of buildings
and monuments,
and "'software" refen to artifacts
foUDd at these sites
aDd "careful aa4
-p1'eciae mea,u.rements" at the sites.
Such measurements, the Borsts
note, " bypass historians and teU us
bow the original
craftsman planned
his work."
The Bonts also
point out that "we
place unusual emphasis upon folk
tales and travelers'
tales which have the
moat doubtful credence," observing,
however, the "'stellar myths can carry
a germ of truth."
The authors advise
that "it is our duty
to disentansJe these
skeins and interpret
the significant parts,
usina ·our knowledge of modern
science."
The two completed books, incidentally, were printed
on a do-it-yourself
basis by Twin Brid~
Preas at 17 Twm
Bridge Lane in
suburban WiUiarnsville, which happens
to be the Borst
residence. About
200 copies of each
book were printed
as "flnt ediuons."

tion similarities, and checking into names

near each sitt to determine any seeming
relationship to gods of yore.
While a multitude of pagan gods have
emerged in his studies, Borst explained,
three - aU mentioned in the Bible appear to have been dominant forces in
pre-historic times and, surprisingly, in
various parts of the world.
The "big three," as defined by Borst,
were Baal '(also Bel), Ludd (also Lugg)
and Am (Amm).
Baal (Bel), Borst pointed out, was a sun
god worshipped by the Phoenicians as
No. I and by the Babylonians as No. 2,
according to Biblical accounts of the 2500
B.C. era. These First Testament accounts
portray Baal as being in conflict with tbe
Hebrew god, Jehovah. llut with Jehovah
always managing to predominate.
As an example of how the name of a
" fossil religion" god is perpetuated,
Borst, again referring to the Bible,
pointed out that Baal was reintroduced in
the 900 B.C. era by no·n e other than the
wicked Jeu (bel).
Equally as revealing as namesakes,
Borst further explained, are the remnants
of structures built to worship·Baal, Ludd,
JD and others.
In Lebanon, for instance, the remains ·
of the Temple of Baal bee still stand, having been rebuilt by the Romans during
the New Testament period. As another

to Indonesia

example, Borst cites the durability of the
temple in Jerusalem, noting that the famous Wailing WaU once served as the platform for Herod's temple and before !bat,
Solomon's temple.
One reason why "pagan temples never
die," Borst poi·n ted out, is explained in a
letter written by Pope Gregory in 60 I
A.D. to Abbot Mellitus on the latter's
departure from Rome to England.
Mellitus was instructed by the pope to
inform Bishop Augustine, in England,
that "we have been giving careful thought
to the affairs of the English, and have

come to the conclusion that the temples
of the idols among that people should on
no account be destroyed.
"The idols are to be destroyed," the
letter continued, "but the temples themselves are to be aspersed with holy water,
altars set up in them, and relics deposited
there.
"For if these temples are weU-built,
they must be purified from the worship of
demons ana dedicated to tbe service of
the true God.
"In this way, we hope that the people,
seeing that their temples are not destroyed, may abandon their error and,
flocking more readily to their accustomed resorts, may come. to know and
adore the true God."
orst's studies relating to "fossil religions" date back to 1968 while vacaB
tioning in England. He soon discovered
that not only were ancient pagan temples
preserved for as long as possible, but that

new churches often were Constructed on
tbe sites or foundations of the ancient

~ . structures, thus duplicating the ancient

measurements. Such was the story of
Canterbury Cathedral, which, Borst
learned, was erected on tbe site of an
astronomical observ-.w-'ry aod probable
place of WOrlhip.
In bialetter to totellitua, Pope Greaory
also noted that p8Jan worshippers in England "have a custom of sacrifldng many
oxen to demons." The Pope suggested
that "some other solemnity be substituted'
in its place .. . !'
Borst related that workers, while digging for the foundation for St. P~'s
Cathedral in London, found thou
.
of buried ox skuUs, evidence that S .
Paul's was erected on an ancient religious
site. The ox skuUs, Bont said, undoubtedly signify that the cathedral site once
was the ploa: where ancient Britains sacrifiCed oxen to celebrate a religious festival known as Taurabolia, perhaps as far
back as 2000 B.C.
Bont, saying that Baal (bel) "aeems to
have been introduced around 2500 B.C.,"
is convinced that the names of ploa:o
provide evidence that Baal, at one Umc or
another, was worshipped in numerous
placea extending from the Middle East to
the llritiah Isles- from Bali in Indonesia
to Balbriggin in lrelaod. He even throws

Romanian means (}od, 'and that the Buffalo telephone directory, for instance,
lists the name " Dlugosz" II times.
•
By doing bis homewo rk, Borst even
comes up with a "ludd" connection for
Istanbul, tbe national capital of Turkey.
Any self-respecting world atlas wiU tell
you that Istanbul was known as Constantinople before 1930. Borst, however,
explains that "Ludd" is "Lyg" in Turkish
and that Istanbul at one time was known
as Lygos.
·
It is believed, Borst noted , tbat worship
of Ludd - as a lunar god - begi\P in the
Sumerian region of ancient Babylonia.
Borst's research shows that the worship
of Ludd spread as far west as England
and Ireland.
The Sumerians, believed to be the first
people to develop writing as a means of

communication, recorded .. LugaJ ..
(Lugg'l) as the name of their kings. Borst
noted that Lugal, translated,means "big
mao."
The third god of tbe "big three," Am
(Amm) "is far more difficult to identify,"
Borst related, because the name .. is probably not Indo-European.
.. We must consider sub·Sabaran
Africa" as the possible source or origin.
Borst suggested, ""where Ama is the crea·
tion goddess and the goddess of tbe universe in Dogon religion."
As evidence of Am's pre-historic
spread, Borst cites Amesbury in England,
which he describes as "a religious center
of signillcance in tbe legends of the Dark
Ages;" Y amm, the god of the underworld
in Phoenician myth; Amaterasu, the sun
goddess of Japan; Saame, the name
Lapps applied to themselves; Amur, the
name of a river in Eastern Siberia; the
Amalalcites, relentless enemies of the
Children of Israel during the Exodus; •
Amalfi, an ancient town in Italy, aod the
Amaz.ooa, the legeodaly tribe of warrior
_ women in pre&lt;lusicaJ Greece.

"A

mazon legends," Borst related ,
"foUow the Gulf of Corinth and
suggest a migration to Italy. There is no
adequate derivation of the name, but it is
probably theophoric (derived from the
name of a god)."
In a moment of lightness, Borst
observed: "We do not suggest that
Amtrak is of this aeries."
One of EnsJaod 's prime tourist attractions, ancient Stonehenge, is described by
Borst as "truly unique."
There is general aireement, Borst
pointed out, that the 4,000-year-&lt;&gt;ld
monument of "well-dressed stones" once
served u a aolar temple, aod may also
have been a lunar temple, based on its
extremely accurate orientation to both
heavenly bodies.

pointed out, "do we Hod aeo~r&amp;~~hical

I could go on at areat length a~ut
many other aspects of life in China
(including bicycles: we have bought four
oft hem and recently made the40 kilometer round trip to central Beijing) but I
must end here with a few reflections on
the nature and vicissitudes of "friendship." As we Americans express our frustrations about having to live in special
quarters and yet benefit willy nilly from
the luxuries of the Friendship complex.
we should recall that this complex, consisting of a reasonable blend of Chinese
architecture..and Western utilitarian ism.
was aCiually built with the help of the
Russians in the 1950s. At tbat time
~Friendship" flourishocl between the
Soviet Union and the People's Republic.
Chinese, with their keen and often
ironic sense of history. are apparently
aware that Sino-A~n friendship,
while currently flowering •. ~as once very
stunted and may yet apin wither or at
least droop at times. On our way on a
crowded bus to the Summer Palace not
far from here last week, an older man got
up to aive his scat to Alison. He wondered where we were from and remarked
in a friendly way that before 1949, under
Chiang Kaishek , only foreianers in China
had cars. While this was an overstate·
ment it seemed to me a useful corrective
to the refrain so common in reports from
China today that there 111n: "no private
cars" here. Of course there are not (except
in the sense that units have a ltind of
private or at least autonomous identity).

then remarked under his breath that he

asked if he ever aot a chance to practtce
his Russian any more, but he was aone.
While taCiless, this question may not

first time in decades, ten Chinese are

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

By ANN WHITCHER
" H i g h e r education begins in the
womb," Ashley Montagu
told a large audience
attending Friday's opening
brea.lcfast seminar in a series sponsored
by the Department of Educational
Organization, Adminiltration and Policy. "I bet you never heard that before."
The weD-known anthropologist, social
biolopt, anatomist and oocial critic said
all education bu iu rooll in profound
undentandiq of man's needs at birth ,:
and also durina tbe pre-natal period. In
general, be alated, education and socialization tend to remove adults from the
enlightened world of children, whose
natural impulses reinforce qualities
necessary to aood .mental and physical
bcaltb. Theae include openness, enthusium, flexibility; pleuure in work, and the.
ability to love, "about which we. know
nothlna in our culture," said Montagu,
78. .
"Let's make love"and otherdisplaysof
· the muc:b-uoecl word, are silly ai best, he
said, especially when one nota the present failure of one out of every t"'!' U.S.
ID&amp;lTiqca. Love, he defined u "a profound interest in the other's welfare" and
an active attempt to help that person
develop his or her potentials. • - ..
BecaUJe education and socialization so
severely hamper human development,
"every adult in the Western world is
nothina more nor less than a deteriorated
baby." Babies, he argued, "know more
about what It is to be a human being than
do adults."
In a 10111ewbat discursive talk, the
muc:b-publiabed Montaau (author of
more than 60bookl including such popular worb u 1M Na1urlll 'Superiorily o'f,
and Man~ Mo., DG"ferous
Myrll: 1M Folhlcy of RtJce, along with
boob on human evolution, culture and
&lt;!hild development) argued that higher
education, u presently practiced, has
become •hin education, in which technical and mercantile' skills are at a
premium."

w.,_,

his nanow concentration on the
technical and saleable wu evident,
be said, durina a recent television quiz
show in which a contestant wu awarded
SI,OOO for "correctly" namina the oldest
college in the U.S. The contestant's
&amp;Diwer: "The Harvard Business School."
The report issued last spring by the
Natioul Commiulon on Excellence in

T

'hire ed,' Montagu charges

Education correctly decries the "tide of
med.iocri{y" in American education, said
Montagu. Still, he detects therein "the
odor of sulphur and gunpowder." The
tone of the report, Montqu continued,
emphasizes the U.S. decline in technical

readiness and by extension, in defense.
What's missing in the report, said the
London-born Montagu, who has been a
curator of physical anthropology in a
medical museum and a professor of anatomy ina medical college, isanyreferencc
to present ignorance of "the ancient panoply of our civilization ." In other words,
we're relatively ignorant of math and
science, literature and foreign languages.
Montagu quoted Goethe: "He who
knows only his own language doesnl
even know that."
"We pride ourselves on the ability to
make computers that think like humans.
But for a very long time, weVe been making human· beings who think like

"Training

values

wan t1ng.

are treated like intruders and aliens."
The obstetrical establishment, for one,
did its part to impede this development at
the tum of the century, with its insistence
on bottle-feeding over breast-feeding,
and the immediate cutting of the umbili·
cal cord and removal of the placenta.
"There will never be devised anything
as good as mother's milk," he said. " I'm
being perfectly serious when I say t hat I
would make bottle-feeding a crime."
When breast-feeding by the mother is
impossible, a wet nurse should be called
in. In any case, human milk should
always be used , and there is no substitute
for the .. humanizing experience .. of the
mother...s breast. Cow's milk is ""very
damaging to the baby." It contains mate·
rials "likely to do damage to th e liver a nd
kidneys and probably to th e respiratory
system as well.
"Ninety per cent of babies get themselves born," Montagu, rather than
being ..delivered," a term he gently
derided. At birth, the baby should be
placed upon its mother's breast. For one
thing, the baby has "suffered a tremendous drop in the number of red blood cells
and also in his thermostatic mechanism,"
so much so that the surroundin&amp; temperature of roughly 71¥' F will be ";extremely
cold for the baby."
uch theories u those advanced by
S
Frederick l..eboyer (author of Birlh
Without Violence) are "well-meaning"

\

machines, who are machines . ~ . who
have been victimized with the best of all
intentioau."
But even a profound knowledge of traditional humanistic subjects is only a
secondary consideration, said Montaau.
•What is wantin.a i.s trainina in human
values: What are human beiup born
forT" Without this trainin&amp; (in love, pleasure in work, open-mindedneas, nexibility, questionina: of conventions and the
development of the mind "u a fine
instrument of precision j , "we're likely to
fail u a culture and .. human beings."
Sadly, he added, we're all born with the
"capacity" for developiiiJ tbeae qualities,
but mill the boat in thetr realization.
"Most people are already destroyed,"
he said, since the•deterioration"that sets
in, "baa been forced upon us in the name
of •brinaina up the child,' railing him
from • 'low• status to a 'hiaber' one,
world made for adults in which children

m•

but it was implied, overdone, with their
talk of carefully darkened delivery
"rooms, accompanying music, etc. "He
(l..eboyer) is quite rig\Jt when he says he's
a poet and not a scientilt. Poetry has ill
proper place, but not in obstetrics."
Montagu said an obstetrician faces
three principal problems upon delivery:
the mother's poasible post-partum
hemorrhaging, the beginning of the uterus' return to normal size, ancf the dstachment and ejection of the placenta.
Difficulties herein could be eliminated,
said Montagu, if docton would simply
place the child upon the mother's breast.
The administering of certain drup to
the mother interferes with her ability to
respond to the child. And the placement
of silver nitrate in the eyes of the baby in
order to preclude the possible presence of
certain bacteria, is also a modem medical
mistake, aaid Montaau. The baby can not
follow _ill.moth~'s face, ~bicb it will
otherwtoe read like a map.
By denytng children these initial

humanizing ex periences, parents and
physicia ns preve nt t he infant from
acquiring these values. Montagu added
that half of gestation actually takes place
after birth, ending at 10 Y.i months. He
also noted the importance of life before
birth, q uoting the Ri a issance physician
a nd writer Sir Tho !:-J:)rowne, in his
famo us Re/igio Mi d i, who described
...tbe t ruest microcosm, the womb of o ur
-mothers." Births should take place at
home, argued Montagu, as they did
before "civilizi ng" irilluences mandated
birth in a hospital and the treatment of
child birth "as if it were a disease," rat her
than a famil y ritual and celebration.
Indeed, argued Montagu, education
and socialization f~om the earliest stages,
must be' grounded maconcern fo r human
values and good health in the broadest
sense. Thb concern must be in addition to
mere .. physical survival," worthless, in
Montagu's view, without the accompany·
ing fostering of human development and
maximizing of that person's potential.
e described the children near his
country borne who visit reJU!arly
and "who are literally my best fnends."
They delight in the ape skulls and other
anthropological paraphernalia, and soon
become experts . in these items, giving
"lectures" to their friends . "Children are
the most marvelous creatures, so full of
potential aod development." Adults
should seek a return, not to fragmenting
and destructive "maturity," but to the
relative mental health of the child. "We
should crow u children all our lives."
Everyone ia \10m with a built-in value
system which. however, must be fostered,
since ability means only a "trained capacity." Everythin&amp; we learn, we learn from
others, be stated. With the uception of a
few nervous system manifestations,
.. buman bei041 do not have instiocts.
That's like saytng there is no God to some
people." Tbia ilnl to say we're "blank
slates" upon which are etched our
futures . But we are born, said the visiting
scholar, "with very active potentialities
W!'ich ";'lilt be d~io_ped and require
~ulallJII human envtronmenu."
!- In the seliiC that Western man does
~h_1np so ~lantan~y .e_lf-&lt;lestructive, he is
literally '""'~· S&amp;ld Mon~af~L And
mar;t. homo ""f"'"'.(homo mearung man,
saJ?IeM mea rung Wile), may today mean
"wise lilY" or, worse, "homo sap."
Eqene J. McCarthy, fonner U.S.
Senator from Minneoota, will continue
the series on Friday, October 21.

'Eberlein said that high student load
and limited reaourcea have made her
change her perspective about the role of
the department in the University.
..The way things arc going, if other
departments are teaching computer
science courses. we would like to cooperale with them, but wear&lt;: too small to be
able to teach all the computer science
courses offered here, as depa.nments in
other universitiea do," she explained. " I
aee our role as keeping people up to date,
and beio.g innovative. Because of our
small siz.e, we will concentrate on the
graduate courses."
The department is far from solviq all
its problems, however.

Eberlein agreed thai timea bavo·obeen

is over. Recently received grants not

the Council have allowed purchase of
new equipment and the initiation of
n:oean:h projects in areas such as the

and continuation of projects in prosram

Eberlein noted that lhn:e new faculty
have been hired.

Even so, Eberlein is optimistic. She
points out that computer Jcieoce is a continuously expanding field, with applicationa in practically every aspect of modem life, and certainly of academic life.

City action could -affect off-campus living
By WENDY CONLIN
a possibility the Univer·
sity might consider purchasing a
group of off-campus apartments
to accommodate students, if a
proposal to enforce an existing citY zo ning ordinance which prohibits three or
more unrelated persons from living
together is passed by the Buffalo Common Council.
The enforcement proposal, submitted
. by University District Councilperson
Rose loTempio ( Dem ocrat ) a nd
approved by Mayor James Griffin, is an
attempt to lean on absentee landlords
renting to students in the University
Heiahts area and has received mixed
reactions from University District Council candidates, community grOups. and
the University.
•
According to Lo:rempio, the enforcement would lead to better conditions for
students and quieter neighborhoods for
permanent resident!.
HoweveT, Vice President for Finance
and Management ·E dward Doty believes
- the proposal would result in h1gher rent
for students and lessen the availability of
off..:ampus housing.
"Just because the landlords are forced
to cut the number of stucfents, they oren'
aoing to be willing to cut income. They,!
charae two people the same as three.
"With hiaher re.nts in the district and
an iocrease in demand for off-campus
housing, it would be economically feasible. for us to buy apartmenll," noted
Doty. "I don' know if it would happen
but it's a possibility."

T

here ~s

he University investipted the j&gt;ossibility of buildina or purchasing
apartments for married araduate students near the Amherst Campus 10 years
ago_and has conducted stud1es resularly
on tbuubjel:t, said UB Foundation President John Carter.
"As of right now, there is no need for
U 8 to purchase apartments. Buffalo has
a surplus of housing and a declining population. Rent for any apartments we
bouaht or built in Amherst would be
more CXJ?tnaive than what Students are
now pay.ng," explained Doty. " But the
future may be different."
In favor of ordinance enforccrncnt.
Dean of Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti disa&amp;rud with Doty's contention
that landlords would charge two students
the same price as three . ..The rents now in
the University Heiahts uea are hiahway
robbery - they would come down a nd be
clooer to what is considered a reasonable
price," Lorenzetti said.
"Studenll look on me as tboUJh I'm
their enemy - but I'm not. Renta won'
ao ap tbey,l 11abilize," •arced
loT-pio.

d on' know if it will be passed, or exactly
how it will be used."
She sees the enforcement proposal
mainly as ... tool to get at overcrowded
st udent houses ... lt.s one of many of Ms.
LoTem pio"s ideas to improve conditions
fOr everyone in the University Heights
area - st udents and permanent residents
alike."
"It is a too l, "admitted loTempio. " It's
what we have on the books to work with.
If seven or eight students ~ crowded
into a house, this is how we can improve
their conditions.
"If I maie a fe w students irate, then I
makta few students irate - bUt I have to
do it for their own safety," she said .
Compromises on the proposal are still
being hammered out in committee.
"There is the possibility that four unrelated persons could be allowed to live
together where a ce~in house could
accommodate them." she pointed out.
The proposal will not be ready for a
Council vote until .. at least a month, ... the
Councilwoman asserted . "There's a lot of
d iscussion goina into this....
LoTempi ~ passa~;e prospects for
the proposal hopefully. " W1th modifications and a ll sides considered I think we,l.
pass a useful resolution that will improve
the community and student housina...
" 1111 never aet throush." said U B OffCampus Housing Director Iris Berman.
"The enforcement would be too difficult.
I! would be handled by the Department
of licensea and Inspection and the manpower and morale are already so low
there that add itional duties would be
impossible."
Also questioning the feasibility of
actual enforcement was the Republican
cand KJ\tc for University District Councilman Leonard R. Gentile . .. lt.s an antiquated law - not enforceable."
Frank A. Turgeon, Liberal Party ~ n ­
didate for the University District Couacil
position, asreed that actual enforcement
would be "a real problem," especially
since lheord.inancccovcrs the whole city.
··As a blanket ordinance. it would create a
number of conflicts ...
A couple ~vina together with children
from a previous marriaae and their own
children. was a hypothetical situation
envisioned by one landlord. "Would you
break up some •family' like that on the
West Side?"
Turgeon foresees difficulties in gating
the proposal past the Council.
Admittina that enforcemtnt would be
..cumbersome" and .. not easy." Lorenlet ti claimed that the ends would outwei&amp;h the mea no. "This w&lt;iuld have real
advantaaa - protecting tudents from
illepl aclions.•
"It would be hard to enforce," loTempio conceded. "But in the praent proposal the mayor has provided an adequate

force to enforce the property code."
Gentile went on to denounce the proposal as ..a n injury to the economy. Those
businesses on Main Street depend on the
colleae kids - this would seriously hurt
Jhem.
.. How can you try to eliminate the students in a University community?"" he
asked. "You miJlht as well t ry to eliminate
the Polish in the Broadway area - it 's
ridiculous - the y're part of the
community."
He added , however. that there is a
cha nce it will pass in the Council been use
... Griffin has too much control right now ...
Kohane stressed the fact that the proposal was not aimed at eliminating stu·
..dents but with •~improving the community. we·re not an ti·studcnt. ...
.. I'm not against stud ents... LoTempio
assured. "I have three college age kids of
my own and I know I wouldn' want them
to live in an overcrowded house. That ~s
why I d o this - the students will remain
but in beuer conditions. I think a ny student would aaree with me if we u t down
and talked ."
lternative s ugcstions which would'"
im prove relat ions between the students and community without cuttina
down the number of students per apartment were numerous.

easons for the increased awareness
of the off-campus student housina
si tuation arc debatable.
Lorentctti credits it to the .. increai\na

"A council formed by all the aroups
involved - st udents, the city, the University. citizens and landlords - could come
up with a logical solution - then selfpolice the guidelines they would draw
up." suggested Turgeon.
Gentile opts for "getting the inspectors
out on the st reet and havina them cite
landlords. Forget about the numbers [of
students] unless it's an extreme case
where the number of residents is a health
or safety huard .In addition to the enforcement proposa l. LoTempio has suggested tho possibility of the Slate Dorm Authority
(SDA) bu yi ng u~ apartments. making
them comply with city laws and then rent·
ing to stud ents. " I tried this two years aao
but funds were too ow at SDA . l would
hope that in the future this would become
a priority for them ... she asserted.
A full-time inspector for absentee landlords and talks already begun with realtors informing them of laws such u the
one prohibiting third floor occupancy in
the University Dis trict are also part of her
_game plan.
" An inspector would help the landlord
situation and th ird floor occu pancy ls the
biggest violation," she da1med. Only
about five per cent of the houses in the
U nivenity District are allowed to rent
third"'floor rooms as a result of a arandfathcr c.lausc.
She also is looking for compromises by
meeting wilh stud ent and univcnity leaders. - we're in this together - we're not
enemies ... she repeated .

Grant underwrites Library project
be University Libraries have
received a $168,0(10 renewal
grant from the Department of
Education under Title 11-C
which enables continuation of work to
make. UB's nationally recognized Poetry
Collection fully accessible to ~hers ·
and scholars around the country.
The collection, started in 1935 by Charles D. Abbott, former director of the
Libraries, is the most comprehensive
twentieth century English language poetry collection in the country &lt;ncluding
works, manuscripts and other memorabi·
lia of James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Wallace.
Stevens and Marianne Moore, among
others.
·
The gran'ts enable full · bibliographic
descriptionS of books in the Collection to
· be incorporated in the national data base
oftbeOn-line Compute~ library Center (OCLC). It also provides for development of bibliographic tools for accessing
the Collection's more than 3,500 poetry
magazines.
The University Libraries were able to
start the project last fall under a $104,063

T

Title 11-C grant that provided for a librarian; two clerical catalogers and an IBM
word proCessor and printer. The renewal
grant, which runs through next
December, provides for one additional
librarian and twQ.additional catalogers.
Dr. Robert Bertholf, curator of the
Poetry and Rare Books Collection and
project supervisor for the grant, noted
that while the reputation of the Poetry
Collection bas traditionally attracted
scores of researchers from throughout
the country, it could not be fully utilized
because its holdings were nOt systemati·

individual storing, naming and catalog·
ing practices of each of its caretakers over
the years. What the grant will do, Bertholf explained, is allow the "unique and
eccentric"' collection to be ~talogued
"according to the best contemporary
standards of librarianship.
"Many of the books in the Collection
have never ·been catalogued by any
library," be added, "not even the Library
of Congress."
One of the goals of the project is to

publish a catalogue of the Collection's
holdings in book form . When that goal is
realized, Bertholf predicted, the work wiD
be a standard reference.
He estimates the project may take fou r
· years t.o ·complete. The Libraries intend
to apply for. further funding.

HIDI has promise of $1.7 million in contracts for research
BJ LINDA GRACE-XOBAS

ith letters of intent for more
than S 1.7 million in contracts already in hand, University officials expect that
tbe Health Care Instrument and Device
Institute (HlDl) will be designated u a
state-funded Center for Advanced Technology by mid-De-.:ember and may even
be operational before then.
Dr. Michael An bar, executive director.
of HID!, reported on the status of the '
center's development to the board of
directors of the New York State Science
a)ld Technology Foundation, which

W

oversees tbe state's Centers for Advance

Technology Program, on Friday.
"We expect that the Foundation will
designate HID! as a Center for Advanced
Technology in mid-December," Anbar
said, "with funding from the state starting
February I. We are sending our final
proposal to the foundation this week, and
1t will tben be forwarded to the National
R~ Council for evaluation.'"
Even before the official designation is
. given, researchers may have already
llarted on projects within the HIDI
umbreUa, Anbar added.
..One company wants us to start on its

project immediately," be said. "It may be
operational within the month."
At Friday's boaid meetina. Anw
. reported that the following comP&amp;nies
have siaftecl letters of intent for future

projects with the Univenity-based center:
a VISIDYNE, for a contract of
$700,000 for laser-based ophthalmological surgical devices.
• Warner Lambert, a $250,000 contract for ~yrolysis mass spectrometry;
automatic camera, and histology positioning device.
• A private sponsor, S 175,000 for a

cardiac monitoring and intervention system, and a venous valving system.
• Church 8t Dwight, $140,000 for

assessment of an anti-plaque system.
• Olin Corporation , $86,000 for
assessment of a periodontal preventative

agenL
• Board of Cooperative Educational
Services (BOCES), $191,000 for instructional services.

In addition, An bar said, local foundations have donated approximatel y
$100,000, with another SIOO,OOOworth of
equipment. also being donated.
The state will provide Sl million in
funding upon HIDI's designation as a
center.

Anbar emphasized that this listing
includes letters of intent .:..... not contracts
-for projects conceived u of September
23.
"By December, when. we go to the state
with our fmal budget proposal, there may
be just u many new contracts," be said.
"We are negotiating with another half
dozen companies.

"I estimate," he remarked, "that we

wiD start with an operating budget of
more. than ~ million. I think that's
realistic."

n his presentation before tbe FoundaIDonohue,
tion board , chaired by William
state commissioner of com·
therce and former bead of the Erie
County Industrial Development Agency,
Anbar noted that health care accounts
for 6 per cent of the countryi.GNP, with
medical technology taking 55 per cent of
the costs of health care.
..The market for new instruments and
fevieft$ wiU continue to grow,"' be said,
10 that going into health care aDd tcctJ.nology is a wise idea."'

Health technology is a "secondary
technology, very close to the marketplace, and d irected to applied as opposed
to basic research," Anbar stated.
He reviewed Buffalo's "track record"
in health milestones: it was the site of the
development of the heart pacemaker; its
power source, the lithium battery; soft
contact lenses; the intra·uterine device
for birth control, and the PK U test for
newborns. The developers of these innovations are "aU members of the HIDI
team," he added .
In addition to the UB schools of Engineerina, Education, Manqemcnt, Medicine, Dentistry, Nursiq.•Pbarmacy and
Medical Technology, Roswell Park and
other afriliated hospita!' will be involved

in HIDI projects, he said. Other area
agencies involved wiD be Buffalo State
College, Erie Community College, Erie I
BOCES, the Erie County and Amherst
Industrial Development Agencies, and
Western New York Technology Development Center.
IDI's goals are to conduct generic
and applied research in medical
technology to develop ilCW cost effective

H

and safe instruments and devices; assess

existing instruments and devices for their
performances under clinical conditions,
and educate and train appropriate
personnel needed nationwide to develop
and implement medical technology in the
most effective manner, Anbar said.
A number of advisory committees have
been established to guide the work of tbe
~w center.

Anbar is assoc1ate dean for applied
research and chairman of the Department of Biophysical Sciences.
Dr. John Naughton, Medical School
dean and acting vice president for health
sciences, serves as chairman of tbe RID I
board of directors, which includes
representation from industry.
At Friday's meeting, the board voted
to give Columbia University designation

LaSalle wiU fmd the lake's water
level, which was dramaticaUy
lowered this summer, returned to normal
- "if aU goes well," according to Kenton
M. Stewart, a biology professor wbo
monitors the lake through testing and
research with his students.
Water was lo.wered tbia summer foe
"several months" in order to complete
Phase II of the Alumni Arma construction of a pool and a deep divin&amp;
weU. The divin&amp; weU eUCDda 20 feet
below the UDderpoUDd water table,
explaiDod Barbe S. Grmer, dim:tor ol
arcbitcctural aervicea. This caused the
conatructioD bole to fiU with water wbile
workers were diaiJII.
• The water level -lowered o a e by openiD&amp; up a tributary from the Lake
into Ellicott Creelr.. The normal depth ol
the lake is fiw meters.
The outlet has heeD dammed up qtaia
within the past t1iree - a.
Returning the water to its fo...,.leYd
will be a natural prnceas. "If we ·ac;t a lot
of rain or maybe some water coming bact
in from Ellicott Creek, it should rioe
· again," noted Stewart. He speculated tbal
by tbia spring the lake will once more be
fivemetencleep.
ApparenUy, there is no ecolo&amp;ical
harm n:aulting from .t he decreued water

The lake is Dot Dormally lowered at tbia

" Besides it would be very cosUy to do."
If ·the lakes are ~ as Grover
exjlects, the Coh&gt;s ortn~.neers who do it
will decide whether 0 r not to dredge the
lakes at this time. "Tbey11 determine if
there is a Deed," Grover asserted.
Neither of tbe lakes bas been dred&amp;ed
in the past because there was "no real
Deed," oboerved Grover. "We have
maintenance people wbo clear out the
large debris and we have marine
bioloaiats wbo keep a constant eye on the
lakes."
\
Stewart, who occasionally recorda ~
latea'pH level, oxnen content. alkalinity,
and plankton and a1pe content tbr&lt;1111b
his biology clauea, ~ that the dredt-

ing was not neceuary but admitted that
"there are a lot of bottles, cans and mud
on the bottoms of thole lakes.~
If left uaretrievcd, these pollutants
could create al&amp;IJC clqree of rust, as the
l~r and bea~ metals deteriorate.
"R~&amp;bt now the pollution woDl hurt the

The lakes were built by the U nivcnity
to prnvidedrainqe from what wu at the
time a swampy area (the Ambent
Camplll) and to create landfiU for
construction on Ambcnt. "They were
built to be pnodical but they also add

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

BJ JOYCE BUCHNOWSXI "
ince Robert Rossbcrg was made
vice president for academic
affairs in the fall of 1980, he bas
experienoed some good times end
some unpleasant times, some victorjcs
' end some losses.
·N ow five months before stepping down
from the post, Ross berg says thot what be
bas enjoyed most while serving as VPAA
has been working with the deans, and,
through them and his contacts with
faculty, becoming intimately familiar
with the complexity of the institution.
Though Rcissl!crg served in various
administrative capacities before his
appointment as VPAA - as director of
three counselor training programs.
department chair, and dean - these
positions failccf to give him the
••overarcbing perspective.. of the
Unil'Crsity he now has. This includes an
understanding of bow the University
fares in the national arena. The latter he
learned through "external reinforcement;" from perceptions of the
institution on the part of those outside of
it. Such outside assessments, be indicates,
tcod to be more positive than our own.
•lt is true that we have problems of11o
resdurce reduction, but despite them, UB is
stiU a nationally recognized, highly
developed institution and the faculty
should be proud of what they have built
here in the last 20 to 2S years," Rossherg
says.
.
UB bas moved frQm a "good regional
to a aood national university," assesses
the VP AA, and with the possible
exception of Stony Brook, it is the best
act SUNY b&amp;s to offer in terms of
"'national quality activity."
On the other bond, however, Rossbcrg
has also come to understand the "terrible
price" the institution has bad to pay for
the "physical relocation of the campw"
- an "'!prooting" which has caused
"ambiauity" end contributed to instability.
'"There arc very few people who are

Also.' Rossbcrg never enjoyed the
• option, as Michigon did, of "stOpping

S some activities to enhance others."' While

.; that option .. is never pleasant,"' the
~ VPAA was "basically precluded from
~ doing it by the poticy of SUNY and tbe
~ State."
t comes as no surprise that the VPAA 's
primary concern for the future of the
University is related to ""forces outside the
institution."'
Rossberg sees little recognition on the
patt of S UN Y of "whet hos been
established here over the last 2S years," or
of how bad_ly the units have been strained
over the past dozen years by a 2S percent
resource reduction.
•
"In my view, the institution is at risk.
There is no place at the University !hot
is not strained to capacity. I know that
people wh sit in vanous locations think
that their situation is the worst. But
viewing thci Univcrsity as a totality, there
an: problems everywhere. People in the
arts end sciOliCCS thinlt the professional
schools arc rich. That's not true. They are
all operating at the red line. The arts and
sciences hove been bad!Y strained for the
last eight to ten years by virtue of the fact
thot .20 to 2S per cent of their resou n:es
have been taken away, but at the same
time faculties tike Management and
Engineering hove been asked to bear a
disproportionate burden of·eorollment.
Their loads are excessive, yet they have
continued to maintain a high degree of
productivity, rescan:h and scholarship.
And extemally, I don't believe thot this is
recognized by SUNY or that the value of
this resource is fully appreciated within
SUNY and the State."
As for his accomplishments in office,
Rossberg takes some bows for the
04
introduction of the academic planning
process end the data base that was used as
the first step in the process." He is also
satisfied with the bicameral consultation
process that his office initiated, a process
which included the Dcen's ~uncil , the
Faculty ·Senate Academic Policy end
Planning Committee, and student and
professional staff representatives.
He also feels be can take some credit
for expanding and strengthening the
Dean's Council. for "raising the

Steven B. Sample said at last
Friday's Council meetmg.
Sample said the recent resignation of
Health Sciences VP F. Carter Pannill
coupled witb Academic Vice President
Robert Rossberg's decision to leave February I prompted bim to look at reorganization. Both Pannill and Rossberg, he
said, stayed in their posts longer than they
had ori&amp;inally intended - at bis request,
in order to &amp;ive Sample a chance to get to
lrnow the Univt:nity better.
Sample told the Council be is considering more than one model for such possible
realignment, but bis discussion centered
only on creation of a provost or super
academic olf.cer, responsible for aU academic prol'ams - botb tbosc in tbe
present Academic Affairs divisions lUUl
those in the Healtb Sciences. Under tbis
1cind of structurina, Sample said, ' tberc
would still be a health sciences viCe president, but tbis individual would be
responsible only for administrative con-

1bc provost clearly would be the UniNo. 2 officer, -:antina "'"first
among equals" as far as both tbe health
vice president and othe.r VPs are: concerned. He or she would be a line officer
with rcq&gt;onsibility for academic concerns
of the whole Univenity, Sample said.
lfbe doesn' go with a provost, Sample
said, be could simply fill tbc VPAA and
VPHS posu as presently delineated.
1bc President said be has talked to
many individuals in trying to determine
the best possible administrative model
for UB - to people botb inside and outside tbis Univemty, to individuals in the
commllnity, and to lldminirtraton at
otber public research univenities which
have medical ccnteNi. 1bc split system
wbicb bu been in effect at UB -worked

(Roaberg and Pannill) "got on wcU,"
Sample said. The President, be noted,
seldom was caught up in bavina to make
decisions affectins tbe relationships
bCtwecn the two. 1bc provostial model
would remove the pqssibility of any difficulties between the two areas ever reachina the top level.

was an executive vice president, but he
did not serve as an academic:su pc.rofficer.
The smaller, private UB bad a vice chanc:cUor for academic affairs to whom all
academic deans reported. The post of
vice president for health sciences was
added soon after the merger with SUNY
which brought rapid expansion in the
1960s.

Enrollment
for fall
.is exactly
on target

T

he Univenlity's fall headcount
enrollment of 26,406 is right on
target (or 100.24 per cent of
tarxet, to be exact), Univenlity
officials said Tuesday. Rejtistration for
fall semester ended last Fnday.
Core campus headcount is 23,036 and
the Health Sciences student total is 3,370.
The headcount total is, by design,
lower than last year by 433 students as
part of a continuing effort to keep
enrollment within budget limits, officials
ll!lid. Budgets, of counle, have been cut.
The 1983 freshman class of 2,432 is
approximately 200 fewer than 1982, also
by design, and just slightly under internal

President Sample reaflinm
commitment to affinnative action

Letters

lllembera of the Unlverelty Community
DMr CoiiMgua:
· The State University of New York at Buffalo bas had a long-standing policy of
tqualacceu for aU ptnoDI IC&gt;tlrina admiuion to its programs and employment on its
staff. An Affirmative Action Proaram detailing actions designed to realize the
University's commitment to equal employment opportunity is a necessary part oft his
policy. As President, I reaffirm this commitment and find it consistent with my own
aoals of strenathening both the reality and the perception of UB as a major research
university of national repute.
A university as large as ours can and should bring together people who by their
diversity of talent, interest in different specialized fields and areas of study, and
diversity of ethnic background, can contribute very much to one another 'I education
and to tbe academic quality of tbe University. I believe that a strong and steady
empbuis upon equal opportunity, and especially a determined effort to encourage
women and ethnic minontiesto seek appointments at this University, is an extremely
important obliption. Moreover, I believe that co01tant and diligent attention to this
obli4-tion will help bring about the divenity we seek. In the area· of academic
adllllllistration, for instance, we recruit primarily from amonathe faculty. Thus,
efforts on our part to inc:rcue the proportion of faculty who _are women and ethnic·
minorities should auilt greatly in increasing the representation of these groups within
the Univenity'l administrative ranb.
We must continue to build a campus community which provides full and effective
opportunity for all qualified people reprdless of race, color, sex, reliaion, handicap,
-ua, or utional oriain. While respolllibllity to implement our Equal
Opportunity/ Affirmative Aclion Program resta with tbe Vioe l'reoidet!ts, I will
continue to IC&gt;tk advice from my Equal Opportunity1Afflfllllltive Action Committee
and to review our propess tbrouah the Equal Opportunity/ Afflfllllltive Action
Officer who reports directly to me.
It ia of utmOit importance that aU reauitment and trainin&amp; of penonnel be carried
out with run atlclltion to our aoai of attractina and cmployina qualifled minorities and
WOIIICD, and rcmovina artifiCial barricn to the employment of llaDdicapped J'C'!ODI
a n d - oftbe Vietnam era. I urpevery academic and admiaialmtive umt of the
Um-.ily to mab siDCCrc and determined efforts to accompliah the aims of this
policy.

Althouah being a faculty member at a

seemingly never~ndin8 sessions of examining the newest disciplinary books and
journals, few profeasoruuppress tbe urse
to do a little extracurricular reading,
sneaking peeks into the popular world
of magazines and newspapers found
mostly on drug store shelves and not in
the dingy, poorly-lit comers of libraries.
Some of tbe selections may boast sig"'

review of criteria for acce~·
tance to the graduate hculty
and an evaluation of teaching
loads based on such factors as
class size, number of TA / GAs and
faculty involvement with labs, seminars
and graduate courses are two agenda
items that ·Dennis Malone wants the
Faculty Senate to tackle during his twoyear tenure as its chair. ~
Malone, who served on the Senate's
Executive Committee for three consecutive years before his election, is familiar
with the troublesome issues which have
meandered on and off the agenda there.
It's no coincidence, therefore, that a
number of his goals address many of
those same issues, including the two just
mentioned.
·
Malone acknowledges that the teaching load issue is a "complicated" one. He
is "not naive enough," he says, to think
the Senate can "generate 8,11 equation" to
determine equitable teaching loadsacross faculties. But he does believe that
given the "disparate" distribution of
teaching loads, a document can be pro-duced in conjunction with the Office of
the Vice Presitlent for Research and
Graduate Studies which can evaluate
those loads according to a number of
objective criteria.
"There are some parts of the campus
whose primary interest· is in teaching,
others whose primary interest is research,
·many which have both interests, and
some that place special emphasis on
community service. Th~ question is how
does one take all these things into
.account?"
Though it is complicated business.
Malone says such evaluations are routinely made by department chain;. What
· he would like to see are guidelines that
would facititate more equitable decisions.

A

and an ·evaluation of teaching loads

a number of years that they have no sense .
of belonging to a faculty. I am looking for
ways in which tbe Univen;ity can in effect
say to its facUlty that being a faculty
member bere is a special thing and that
we are not just employees of the State of
New Yorlt," he relayed.
Creation of a faculty club on the academic spine, Malone believes, could go a
long way in improving the "quality of
life" for faculty. The Amherst Campus
presently bas Kno existing structure that
would be appropriate" for t he club,
observes Malone, but be is hopeful that
one can be built with fmanctng made
available through "cooperative" arrangements.

be Senate cbair alsO feels tbe relationamp between the graduate and
T
undergrad¥ate faculty has "never been
adequately defined" and thattltis has Jed
to more than minor confusion. Some
professon;, for example, believe that
because they teach graduate courses tbey
are automatically considered graduate
faculty. In order to gain acceptance tQ the
'graduate faculty, Malone said, a faculty
member must be a principal author of
tJ!!.O reoearcb papers, yet some faculty,
.out of courtesy, award that privilege to
tbe graduate students working with them.
Apin, worlting in cooperation with the
vice president for research and graduate
111ucba, Malone would like the Senate to
review graduate faculty acceptance criteria to clear up any ambiguities.
·
Anotber.major tuk fortbe Senate will
be to iuue and take action· on a report

the Senate in the waite of the Middle
States evaluation.
Tbe Senate recommendations call on
the administration and aoverninjl boards
oftbe Univenity to work to eliDUnate the
"elaborate" audit reviews that "waste
resources" and "'stifle initiativC and crea·
tivity. "They also urge tbat UB be allowed
the "freedom to deploy its resources• '
effectively "in punuit .or'our purpoae. •
Malone, wbo is co-c:hairin&amp; with Lester
Milbrath tbe committee bandlina this
issue, objects to requirements placed on
the Univenity by the DOB that impinge
on the academic proccu K&amp;Dd prevent us
from doina our JOb in both an effective
and cost effective manner." He wants to
produce a Kdetailed report" on tbe subject
which includes ample data &amp;Dd a Kopec-

!rum of c;&gt;pinion"that can be shared with

other governance bodies within SUNY
and eventually be brought before the
SUNY Senate and State Legislature.
KThe DOB makes academic deciaions
based on budgetary matten, and the
DOBis not particularly expert in making
academic decisions, • Malone -.ted.
"For instance, there's no way that·anyone
in tbe DOB abould be decidin&amp; bow many
faculty we need in a given prop-am bere. •

M

alone also upreued concern over
what he perceives u tbe lack of
esprit dtcorpaamona UB faculty, though
some of this, be feels, can be attributed to
tbe above mentioned iuue &amp;Dd to other
facton ouch as aplit campuses.
"I have been told by many faculty over

be found in li Faculty Handbook publication which Malone is wqrlting on in conjunction with the Division of Public
Affairs. The handbook, be reports, will
summarize rules and regulations that
pertain to faculty (i.e. grading policies,
scheduling of exams, etc.) as w~U as catalog faculty opportunities (cultural activi·
ties on campus, etc.) and privileges. It is
also intended to serve as a quick reference
source for practical and useful information, such as where one should go with
questions about payroU. Malone asks
that faculty who would like to suggest
material for inclusion in the handboo k
contact him or their Senate representatives.
As in any other year, Malone expects
the Senate wiU deal with so.qsues that,
by their nature, are more con\roversial
than otben;. He is sure the proposed new
admissions requirements will generate
further debate as wiU plans for academic
reorganization and a report from the
Senate's Academic Freedom and
Responsibility Committee which recom·
mends how complaints lodged against
University penonnel should be han&lt;lled
by department chain or otben in an
administrative capacity. M.alone has also
asked the VPAA 's office to investigate
the•distribution of support staff across

UB's billory. He was chairman of the
Eng!Uh Department from !955 11&gt; 196!, and acned as
director of ihe libraries &amp;om 1960 10 1968. A great lover
of modem literarure, Silverman played a key role in
acquiring the University's impO&lt;tant jamesJoya: llllde\rial and secured the Ro~?en Graves Collection. Abo
\:luring the Silverman yean, JlO(el Poetry Collection
Curator Robert Bertholf, UB acquired the manusaipu
of Wyndham Lewis, the English writer and painter.
• But there's more to the memory of Oscar Silverman ,
than literary staliatics can convey. He was, by all I
accounts, a warm, funny man, kind and OIJti&lt;&gt;ing. and
an ~xtraordinarily fine teacher. As former allldeot
~ohio Magavem puts it. " he was able to communicate
his own joy in literansre with wit and entkusiasm." Adds
Mrs. Magavem, who srudied English at Smith CoUege
for three yean, and now teaches English at the Buffalo
Seminary: "He was the best teacher I ever had"
Silverman came to UB io 1926 as an imtructor. In
1932, he was appointed assislant professor of English,
and rose through the academic ranks until 1943 when
he was named fuU professor. Lilr.e another legendary
English Depanment figure, Henry Ten Eyck Perry, Silverman hailed from Yale where he had rec~ived a BA
in 1925, earning an M.A from the University ofWisconsin the following year. At that time, Yale had a tradition
of ''undergraduate teachers of ~ mendous flair and
style," commen ts Ben Townsend, retired UB professor
o( English and a Silverman friend
Later as Silverman taught in a tiny depanment in a
sch ool with o nly about 5,\)00 students to begin with,UB
witnessed the emergence of "an e~te teaching depanment." continues ~f. Townsend In litis respect. the
depanment "was perhaps out of proportion" to the University's reputation as a whole. With the exception Of
some ofits ooothly good professional schools, llB at the ~
time was "reaUy a otreeu:ar municipal school fur
commuters."
.
Adds Prof. Townsend: "What Oscar had was stamina
as a teacher, and the consistency of performance. He
really did his homework. He never feU bad on an
earlierreadingofthe material oroo general knowledge.
What cameoacrou aa spontaneous or improvisational,
ho~. waa anything but that."

says, to time the end of the daaa with the oaiUnl end oC

or dried out by pedantry.

Silvennan could administer the pointed barb at public
meetings, too. One~ at a 1965 convention of th~ N~w
York Ubrary Association, Silvennan unfavo111bly compared the n atio n's library schools facul ty to those inh abIting schools of education. "Sch ools of education. the)
are about as scholarly-" here, he paused for a momt"nt,
adding, "as - schools of educauo n. They are full of

Michel Serres is the new Jones Professor of French
r. Mlchel Serres. one of France's most celebrated intellectuals and an informal adviser
to French president Francoi"
Millerrand, has joined the UB facult y at
Visiting Melodia E. Jones Professor of
French for a three-year appointment, the
Modern Languages and Literatures
Department has announced. Serres
arrived here on Monday and will be on
campus for several weeks each se mester.
This ~ emester, Serres will be in residence through October 12 and will tea b
a graduate seminar course entitled
.. Literature and the Exact Sciences." ·
Serres' work, notes F..Wtyof Aru and
Letters Dean Jamco H. BllDD, sp8JIJ tbe
ans and sciences in an almost incredible
fashion, and is easily in the forefront of
contemporary French thought. Titis
semester, Series~will continue his investigations of common denomiriators underlying both literature.. and scientific
systems. His lectures will be in French,
although readings and seminar discussions may be in English or French. The
seminar will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays through October 12 in Room 930
Clemens. All interested faculty and students are invited to attend.
Serres, author of I 3 books in 13 years,
is internationally known for exciting,
often controversial, new views in fields as
diverse as physics and art history. UB
Professor of French Dr. Jacques G.
Bcnay, who helped woo Serres, says a
commitment to re-defining the relationship between science and the humanities,
...in an age when there are so many specialists," as Benay puts it, is at the bean of
Serres' work.
Serres' far-ranging scbolanhip, say
otbcr UB faculty members, is an attempt
to show that knowledge, whether written
in philosophical, literary, or scientific
languaae. transcends traditional aca-

D

demic disciplines and boundaries.
Also, Serres is "in great demand all
over the world" as a lecturer on the role of
contemporary philosophy and many
other subjects, states Bcnay. In 1982, in
Japan, Serres lectured on the relationship
between modern technology and thought
as a cultural representative of the French
government.
Also in 1982, be was~one oftbcleading
spcaten, ~along with Nobel Prize winner
llya Prisosine, who spoke here last year,

at a Stanford University colloquium on
the "notion of disorder" in philosophy
and science - i.e., when does disorder
end, and when does order begin. This is
an incrtuingly apt question, indicates
Bcnay, especially when traditional concepts arc being re~xamined in light of
new discoveries in physics, biology and
other fields.
Serres' work includes a five-volume

series, Hermes, in which an-asto und ing
range of subjects, usually considered
unrelated, are linked via extensive classical, scientific and philosophical references. Serres'literary works include a stUdy
of Emile Zola, in which Serres relates the
19th century French novelist's writings to
19th cent ury thermodynamic theories.
His beat-known work in art history is a
study of tbe Renaissance Venetian painter, Carapaccio. Here, Serres treats the
painter's work as an alphabet of forms
and chromatic configurations. According to the publisher's blurb, Serres' study
of Carapaccio doesn' belong at all to the
.....great tradition of art history, "so novel is
Serres' approach.
Born in Ag n, Lot-et-Garonne, in
southwestern Prance, Serres received
licenses in mathematics, in letten and in
philosophy. He ~vcd the Agregation
i n philosophy in 1955 and a doctorate in
letters in 1968. He is also a forme r naval
officer.
In a February 6, 1982, interview in Le
Nouvel Observatwr. Serres said he
began his investigations with geometry.
followed by physics and biology. He then
began to concentrate on the .. hard sciences" a nd tried to ..systemize" their relationshi ps. He has si nce wide ned his investigatory sphere to Include history,
anthropology, po litics and religion.
Serres' quest is for what Bcnay calls a n
"encyclopedic" knowledge.

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

ice P=ident for Academic Affain R&lt;&gt;bert H. Rossberg will leave that post February I to mum to his
position as professor in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology.
Dr. Rossberg requested to be relieved ofthe vice presidential
assignment in a letter to President Steven B. Sample. Sep-tember 9. He told the P=ident that he intends to apply for a
sabbatical leave for the second semester of 1983-8-4 and will
resume active teaching and research in the fall of 1984.
"I believe," Dr. Rossberg wrote to the President, "that my
staff and I hive accomplished many of our original aoals
dl&lt;rina the past three yean. However," he continued, "this is a
position which requires maximum effort all the time ... The
VPAA said he had come "to the reluctant conclusion that for
personal and ph;rsical reasons. I can no longer sustain that
effort ... He is rcst~nina . he said, ~i n fairness to the institution
and for my own personal well beina."
Praident Sample acknowledged Dr. Rossbera's letter with
"deepest regm" over the VPAA"s decision to step down. " I
shall truly miss your wise counsel, your fair judament, and your
genuine spirit of collegiality," the President said. " I know my
sentiments are shared by all of your administrative colleagues,"
he continued.
The President noted that thraugbout Rossberg's years of

The President added a note ofthanks fort he vice president's

Stricter admissions
requirements for UB?
-Idea stirs controversy
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
call for stiffer UB adm issions
requirements provoked controversy but no action at tbc
Faculty Senate's first meeting
of the acadimic year, Tuesday.
Debate essentially focused on two
issues: whether the bolstered admissions
requirements recommended last May by
the Senate's Admissions and Retention
Committee are too lenient or too tough.
and if a section oft he committee's n:port,
which contains a set of recommendations
relatina to minority student and peraonnel recruitment, should be considered as
part of their wbole report or handled
separately.
The committce, formerly chaired by
Enalish Professor Tom Connolly,

The report also called upon the OITocc

The committee initially agreed that set·

predicted future shortaaes in the st udent

that standards which are too hi&amp;h would
scare students off and would also have an
adverse impact on minority admissions.

that he wanted the report kept intact
since the charge to the committee
encompassed both sets of recom mendations.
Jenkins later voiced concern over a
dwindling number uf minority st udents
at UB, attributing much of the problem
to the lack of minority role models here in
faculty and other positions. He noted
th at most black Ph.Ds graduate from
black colleges, then suggested it was not
because of better facilities or fac ulty but
because of the presence on those campuses of black role models.
After a number of Senators complained that the report contained no
backgro und or comparative data to support its recommendations, and also made
no mention of admissiOns requirements
for transfers and non-traditional students, the document was sent back to
committee for further data collection. 0

University Heights residents want crackdown on absentee landlords
By WENDY CONLIN

meeting prompted by the
complaints of Uni ve rsit y
Heights residents about offcampus students living in the
neighborhood resulted in a decision to
"crack down on absentee landlords and
to enfon:e [city and] state ordinances,"
according to Gloria Park, vice president
of the University Heights Community
-center and OfJaniur of the meeting, held
lut Thursday.
Concerns about illegal parking,
excessive noise, unsanitary habits and
overcrowded bouscs -were addressed to
an 11-meml;er panel, consisting of City
department heads, legislators and
Univenity representatives.
"We called the meeting so citizens
could speak directly to the people who
c:an get tbinp done," explained Park.
"There have been many complaints lately
- specifac:ally from tbe people on
Eftl(ewood - and while we bave been
reportina them to City Hall, nothina bas
been done."
Abeentee laDdlords were cited by many
of tbe reaideDia u "not talcina c:are of

noted, "I talte c:are of my kids, malce aure

voiced by residents about "writing letters

how we feel. "
In addition, Assemblyman William

conditions and no'resident aboqld have to

Ufe," Hoyt noted.
•

"We were delighted to hear about these
state laws," Park said . "If there's nothing
on the city books about certain cases of
unhealthy, unsanitary or unsafe situatio ns we can look to the state ordinances.
This was news to all of us."
Parking violations, traffic problems
and noise complaints were promised
greater attention by members of the Buffalo Police Precinct 17, Dan Kruez oftbe
Traffic Engineering Department and
Larry Grisanti of Traffic Enfon:ement.
"Our fon:e is small- only 6-8 men on tbe
parking end," n"btclC.ruez. "But we'll
10crease efforts."'
Rose LoTempio · es tbe manpower
shortage as the reason for the focus on
student problems: "The laws are just not
enforced - there is not enousJl lilaopower to resolve the problems that we
have identified. This is because the city
doesnl feel that the Univenity District
has .a unique problem. Once tbey realize
that we do, we,l start to get some solutions and some enforc:ement."
LoTempio is in favor of enforcina an
ordinanc:e which states that three or more
persons not related may not.live together.
This would require additional inspectors
and special investiptora.
Ho-r, Hoyt pointed out that the
number of students living off-.:ampus
may be a problem, "at leut until UB
builds more dorms.Even then "'trona economic and soc:ial
factors may not let them live in the dorms

- they may have to be off-campus.""
Hoyt said.
Hayden agreed, saying "the dorms on
Amherst are designed like prisons - like
mazes. And tbe quality of life is very low
according to documented studies."
He claimed that this plays a great part
in increued complaints about students.
" Students are frustrated and leaving the
dorms is like escaping from jail - they
act accordingly.':
Hayden also credited the "absence of a
student union" as playina a majorfole in
c:urrent problems. '"Since tbe Main Street
union closed, the social life bu been d rastically Jed !ICed- tbia means more parties
thrown by off-.:ampus students, more

or 18 years, they were their parents' children - watched over
by their fathers. driven around
by their mothers and ttrrorized
by their younger brothers. But in one
they were ripped from that familiar existence and tossed in to a world like nothing
they had experienced before. In high
school. the teachers pampered them. they
knew their classmates and the academic
trials and tribulations were predictable.
But they're in college now. and life will
cbange; they are the Class .of 1987, UB's
freshmen.
Perhaps the most obvious difference
between the high school of last June and
the university of September is size. The
entire population of high schools attended
by some UB Cresbmen could comfortably
sit in Knox 20, now just one clan oceu·
pies the massive lecture hall.
"The size of everything at UB ;. overwhelmina," commented freshman Tony
Pezoujanis. ..Not only is the campus
immense but so are the classes and the
number of people who go here."
Debby Auaustine, a fre~hman Wilkeson Quad resident, graduated from a
sc~ool with an enrollment of 62; her
malcroeconornics class of 4SO was a rude
awakenina to what her professor may
later term the ..economics of scale ...
" I was shocked to see so many people
in one room for the same class: .. she said.
"Needless to say. theteachina is not personalized like it waJ in high school"

Main St. parking .raises ire, may be changed
By JOHN K. LAPIANA

he reassignment of parking lots
on the Main Street Campus has
raised the ire of some Health
Sciences staff members who call
the University action both "unfair and
discriminatory." However, UB officials
note that sOme present parking restric·
tions may be lifted as early as this week if
traffic on the construction-riddled campus remains less than anticipated. Parking regulations and traffic flow on Putnam Way at Amherst arc also being
changed, officials said .
At the center of the Main Street parking controversy is Michael Lot, which
before this semester was a student lot.
Since the invasion of bulldozers, cranes
and fences, however, it has been trans·
formed into a parking area for Heal!h
Sciences faculty and visitors.
Originally, Michael was to be reserved
for faculty, visitors, and staff, all of
whonftlould need the Vice President for
Health Sciences· special permission to
use the lot. But staff members were
informed via a letter, on August 2S to
department chairmen, that .. it was necessary to eliminate those names listed under
'staff' " requesting to park in Michael.
"A lot of staff are questioning why
facult y are the only ones given a special
privi lege to park," ex plained Elfie Mermigas. a Department of Pathology staff
member.

sle." Tbe control factor in the plan to
guard against would-be . abusers, he
noted, is that headlights must remain on
when cars arc parked on Putnam Way.
This should ensure short stops, Wilson
said . Any parked car with its headlights
off, Wilson warned, will "be ticketed by
Publi ~ Safety."
·
Another Putnam Way change calls for
the stretch of the road between Lockwood Li brary and Clemens Hall to
become two-way, allowing. Wilson said,

"easier access to the back parking lots
and the Bookstore."
Tbe Amherst Campus is not immune
to growing parking space scarcity. Wilson
noted that the small visitors lot adjacent
to Flint Loop will fall victim to tbe soonto-begin construction of the Social
Sciences building. When that occurs, he
said, the first row of Lot 6d will be used
for visitor spaces with meters employed
to distinguis h them from tbe regular
lot.

He proposes

"E

By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

xperience must be our only
guide. Reason may mislead
us."
So spoke one of the authors
of the U.S. Constitution at the Federal
Assembly of 1787. That gathering of
rationalists, freethinkers and politicians
debated, but in the end set aside, the theories of philosophers and based their new
code of social order on the political and
moral culture that had developed in the
'ew World . With this strong foundation.
the .new constitution caine to be acapted
and loved by the American people.
Raoul Naroll repeats that admonitioh
about experience several times in the text
of hi provocative and wide-ranging new
book. 'T'M Moral Ortkr. which considers
a new social code for the interplanetary
age. Already hailed by scholars as
"powerful," a "landmark work " and "the
magnum opus of holocultural and
hologeistic studies to date," The Moral
Order is the result of II yean of wo'rk by
the UB distinguished professor of
anthroplogy.
It is a treatise that describes the next
steps of human evolution in terms oft he
creation of a stable and just world order
that will be carried by Earthlinj!S to the
ends of their galaxy, b~t which IS'underpinned by a return to many traditional
values seemingly abandoned by Western
civilization.
"In The Moral Order, I be&amp;in my
attempt to review the present state of
understanding oft he human situation. to
estimate how close we arc to establishing
(a} stable ideoloJical, social, economic,
political and cultural world order," he
writes, the creation of that order being
"the deepest historical task of our times."
Naroll has coined the term aoeionomics to refer to the new form of behavioral
science he describes in Th~ Moral Ordtr.
Socionomy is defined as the atudy of "the
general. human aituation, encompassing
the position of human society in history;
1ts destiny; its ecolosical, aoeiolosical.
P.oliti~. economic_. and ideolosical
situation or atat~ (lite economy)."
. This new discipline differs from traditional behavioral lcicDCc in ita wide
scope. Narolllists his Five Steps of socionomics: I) establish core valuea; 2) check
scoreboards; 3) aun-ey theory tests; 4)
plan runher arudies, and S) cope with
tro~bles now. These steps simply formal,.. and make a coh~ntsyatem of praetices already~ by bebavioral scientists.
Wbat makes his approec:b novel is
NaroU'I caU for s)'11lbes11. ID his new discipline (aocionomica), one penon would

especially in the calc of the single woman,
and his acceptance of homosexuality.
"I expect a large numbe.r of people to
d isagree with m)' recommendauons ...
NaroiJ commented in an interview: ·•oth~
erwisc my book would be trite. But in a
generation. bcba\•ioral science will consider these recommendations obvious.
Anyone who really reads a nd stud ies Tht
Moral Order. and forms an independent
Judgment about the quality of evidence
presented - whose mind isn\ already
made up - will agree. I would expect 10
pe.r suade 9S% of such people."
aroll explains in Tht Mor11l Order
how he began lo formulate the studies that resulted in his book . While he
has had a lifelons interest in holocullural
studies, two occurrences led to his study
of the human situation as a whole: the UB
student strike of 1970, in which he was
chief of staff of a Peace Patrol, and a later
request that he review findings of bolocultural studies for the Amtrl~on
Anrhropolotist. He reali.ted then. he
writes, that j ust as durin&amp; the student
strike, which ofien became violent, when
no one wu watch.ina the situation u a
whole, no one was watchina the worldwide human situation, either. He remembered thelludies he conducted u a Ph.D.
candidate at UCL", when he used the
1787 constitutional convention u his
thesis subject.
He bepn to develop the mortlbwt as a
theorecical modd. the moraiJICI servina
as "lbe foundation or rublic: morality,
and 10 the foundation o a.moral, social,
political and economic: worid order."
In aroU'I view, tbe moralnct is a
primary IJOup thai JCr\ICS . u a normative reference IJOUP. Tbe ardlelypical
moral nets were tbe extended family and
tbe primeval buntiaa band. In modern
times, be sees tbe two-pucnt ho-hold
lilllted in a friendship net with at leutlive
ocher families u tbe atronacst primary

baW&gt; received from Vice President
Edward W. Doty a copy of the
report of the internal audit conducted by the Office of the Internal
Auditor into allegations reported from
anonymous aourceo in the Buffalo News
about aJleaed milmanqement at University radio station WBFO. In his trarumittal memorandum, Mr. Doty sta.ted that

I

against grant funds, not listener support
funds as reported in the Buffalo News."
The auditon "found no impropriety in
this appointment. "
A second allegation was that grant
funding applications had been padded lo
malce the station eligible for more funding. The alle~ation dealt specifically with
the applicauon to the Corporation for
Pllli1lc, Broadcasting for the period
October I, 1982 to September 30, 1983,
and involved lwo facton; namely, the
number of studios claimed on the application and the number of required fulltime employees. The audit states that
"there is no evidence of padding tbis or
any other grant beld by the station" in
order to obtain additional fundiiiJ.

"Many ·
improvements A
have been
made at
WBFO ... II

third alleption was that payroll
records were manipulated 10 that
people not eliaible to be on the alation
payroU could be paid. The audit states
"that when a lludent -iatant wu found
not to be rqistered in tbe SUNY system
u required by a local uniW&gt;nity f)l)e,
payment for 10 to 20 houn a - ' : was
made to another student -istant who
aplit his cbcclt with the ineliaible student
auistant. Each 'ltudeot'wu workinal to
10 boun a week. The inelipble student

specific purchases, the audit "found the
prices paid were reasonable ll'lldt-State
proced ures were followed. We arF of the
opinion," states the repon, "'that these
purch.ases were appropriate to the bll5iness of the statio.n."
fifth allegation was that a consultant
bad been paid to qualify him for
unemployment but that no service bad
been performed. The audit found a consulting fee of $180 bad been paid to a
ten-year station volunteer wbo is regularly on the air. The honorarium payment
"should not qualify tbe individlhll for

However, the aud it considered the transaction "inaPpropriate" in that tbe iodividual sbould l imply haW&gt; been placed on

Students intern at area construction sites
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
en UB engineering and architectural students worked as interns
thi~ summer at various construe~
tion sites about Buffalo.
Eigbt aspiring engineers and two ,
future architects participated in the J().
week program sponsored by the Construction Exchange of Buffalo and Westem New York,
This was the first time the program has
been offered.
Dr. Robert Ketter, UB's former president who is a fuU professor of civil engineering, suuc:stcd the idea for the internship program to the members of the
exchange.
The exchange, which was established
about two yean ago as an umbrella
or,aniz.ati&lt;?n for loc~l co~r~ctors ,

T

uruons, enguxers, artliitect.s, tnsurance--

companies, bonding houses, and othen, .
liked the idea. Members were approached
to accept student interns, who were paid
at least $200 a week wit II monies from the
exchange that were channeled throul!h
the Buffalo Foundation.
The monetary reimbursement was in
lieu of academic eredit.
MThe general agreement is that no matter bow long an undergraduate engioeeriq program is, iCs never adequate to
cover both the theoretical and practical
aspects," K~ter said, explaining that he
believes an internship program will help
fiU this void.
Before enaineering JC&amp;duatcs are
allowed to take their licensing exams,
Ketter said, they mull complete four
years of apprenticed employment with a
licensed engineer, but only after tbey finish their formal education. Their degree
requires no on-the-job experience.
... agree with the criticism that our
engineering studenu do not undentand
the real world, • said Dr. John Neal, an
associa\e professor of civil engineeriq,
who was UB's vice president for facilities
planning. He mentioned that during a
course he offered to senior civil cqineer·
ing studenll; which involved several lectures by practicing professionals, Neal
realized that many of. the soon-to-be
graduates knew nothing about public
hearings. He noted that about hall of
UB's engineering studenu will find
employment with government agencies
that routinely prepare presentations for
the public.

eal, who was the program dircdor
for the studenll of enaineering,
believes this internship program will
round out a student's education.
Den nil Andrcjko, an associate professor of architecture, was the proaram

N

~/ph A bote fl•(l) otWI lnum s.,...,.
Petrl/U al " '""" 011 ,..,,._ pro}ftt.

director for the st udenu of a rchitecture.
He said this program is an Important
link between academic and professional

communities.
Andrejko added that a man with the
Rural Revitalizat ion Corp., who heard
about the Constroction Exchange internship program, called him this summer
and asked for a studentapprent.i ceto help
do feasibility studies. The corporation,
Andrejkosaid, is involved in determining
which small New York viUages should be
selected for renewal. Andrejko recently
received a thank-you letter from thi
same man which said that the student 's
work reflected the excellence of UB's
arc hitectural program.
Andrejko and Neal hope the program
will become an annual one that joins stu·
dents and at least 30 different industrial
sponsors.
Eight engineering students worked as
intern this year: James Newha ll of
Ticonderoga Wll sponsored by J. W.
Danforth Co.: Susan Petrilli of Fairport
by DeSerio Enaincers, P.C.: Jeff Marshall of livonia by Sull ivan· Humes Con·
tractors: Seth Medwiek of New York
City by R .E. Kelly, Inc.: Thomas Hd ns
of Buffalo and William Swanson of
Kenmore with Goldberg·Zoino Auo·
ciates; Mary Maiaro of Snyder, and
Steven Bloch of Brookport by the Nia·
gara Frontier Transportation Authority.
Two architec tu ral s tud ents werr
intorns: Joanne Violante of Williamsville
was sponsored by Holler Brothers, Inc.
and Jim Mui of the Bronx by the
N.F.T.A.
Enaineerina student Susan Petrilli
wo rked with De erio Engineers employee Ral ph Abate, who received his mas·
ter's degree in engineerin&amp; from UB in
1969. She assisted with the preliminary
desians required for the movi na of fout
railroad bridaes over Bailey Avenue in
Buffalo. Another intem took fietll mea·
aurements in the Li&amp;ht Rail Rapid Transit underJround tunnel. An areiUtcotural '
lludent wastbe *clerk of the worts" who
ltelped orga ni1.e materials and construe·
tion processes o n a downtown apa nment
buildina renovation.
More tha n 40 engineerina atudentaand
100 arc hitectural students applied for the
inte~p proaram. Interns wen ~elected
based' on the needs of the industrial
l poDSOR.
Indication• are that tbe proaram has
been a auoeeu, Neal aaid . He knows of
three atudenta who have been hired by
tbelr lpoDIOR.

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

Korean demonstration
protests plane tragedy
rate memben; of the Korean Graduate Student Association (KGSA)
o rganized a peaceful protest in
Founden; Plaza Wednesday at
noon, in response to last Thursday's
Soviet attack on a K.orean commercial
airliner. The undergraduate Korean Student Association (K.SA) also participated
in the picketing protest.
" It (shooting down the plane) was a
barbaric act," maintained K.GSA President YUill M yung K.im, wbo spurred tho
idea for the protest. " We want to show
our disapproval.
" It was shocking to bear of the loss of
innocent lives for such a stupid thing,"
K.im lamented.
The Korean plane was shot down by a
Russian jet fighter after violating Soviet
air space over the Kamchatka Peninsula
and remaining there approximately two
boun. 1be plane was about 300 miles
off-&lt;:&lt;&gt;une.

asic English and mathematics
slrills, not technology and job
training, should ~ain the primary goal of our nation's
educational system, UB President Steven
Sample told the Gr·a nd Island Central
School District's Conference Day
audience Tuesday. Dr. Sample emphasized that "the glamour of new technology
can easily obscure the central mission of
formal education. Especially in times of
rapid technology change, the principal
job of the schools is to teach the basics,"
particularly English and math.
Despite the growing importance of

B

Sp~ce

a basic e'dUc-a tion as the best
computers and technology in our society,
Dr. Sample believes that a fmn grasp of
written English, grammat and math,
especially calculus, will provide students
with tbe greatest advantage when they
enter the job market. Undergraduate
programs of colleges and universities
"should teach each student just enough
technology to enable him to get a job . ..
but after that, the best teacher oftecbnology is society-at-large." Regarding success in later life, President Sample
pointed out that "English probably
accounts for more in differentiating the
winners from the losers than any other
single factor."
The President's speech was clearly

education

meant to be tb 0 upt provolr.ing to the
audience of several hundred hip school
teachers and administrators in the Grand
Island High School auditorium. The
president answered several questions
reaardina the importance of other academic subjecta. Dr. Sample clarified that
be did not intend to diminish the very
important r,2le oflaboratory science, foreign langu~, history, computers, technology trairung and other subjects in college and primary and secondary school
curricuiL However, be said that these
other subjects must not play such a role
that they take away from a full and
intensive math and English education.

noted Dr. Scott Danford, associate UB
professor of environmental delign and
planning in the School of Architecture
and Environmental Design.
Danford, just back from ten weeks as a
fellow at a special aiiJIUIJer program condueled at Stanford Univenity by NASA
and the American Society for Enajneering Education, told the hporter NASA
must not daip tbe ap..., station as if it

almost any inconvenience, so fmn ia their

But in the apace station of the future,
many ~"aren't aoing to be

Moreo-. they"re not aoin&amp; to "put up

that space station designs must be geared

which occurs in zero gravity. "Instead of

you do on earth, the natural body

demonstrate a sort oJ horizontal, floatina
motion in which the arms and legs are
spread out.
n general, the Stanford institute conIingcentrated
on several issues surround"human autonomy in ap...,," eapccially as it concerns the interaction of
humans and machines. Daolord aod
Wise focused on the as-ye)-undesiped
U.S. space station as a way of delvina into

to benefit from a broad and valuable education in the liberal arts while devotin' 20

Women's Club seeks members
be UB Women's Club has been
in existence since May I, I946.
As it begins its new seasoq witb a
Fall Membenhip luncheon at
the Center for Tomorrow (11:30 a.m. on
September 24), it seeks the support of
new, and existing, members for the variety of programs that it offen. Anyone
interested in joining the Club is invi\ed to
attend the luncheon. Cost wiU be $6.50
and reservations can be made by calling
Pat Addelman at 6344998 . The various
activity groups and programs wiU be
explained at this meettng. \V'&lt;.
The purpose of the Women 's Club is
"to promote the interests of the University in any way pouible; to further sociability and to develop common interests
among its members. "' Interest groups
range from alr.iiing to languages, books,
art history and antiques.
I The Women's Club provides fmancial
aid and academic awards. The Club beld
scholarship balls for many years, and
invested profits from these events in .the

T

New York State Pooled Endowment
Fund. Each fall through the Office of
Financial Aid To Students, the income
ftotn this investment is used to provide
financial aid. During 1983-84 about
$2400 will be distributed.
Each spring the Women's Club presents checks to students who have completed three semesters, full-time, with 3.9.
or better, averages. These are known as
Grau Capen Awards for Academic
Excellence. The monies which provide
for these awards are earned by holding
concerts, silent auctions, round-robin
parties, publishing a cookbook, and
especially by the Mini-Market Art &amp;
Craft Show and Sale, which this year will
be held November 5, starting at 10 a.m. at
Diefendorf Annex, Main St. Campus. In
April 1983, the club presented checks
totalling $2600 to students at a reception
hosted by President and Mn. Sample.
In the area of service the Club's International Group has long been active (see
accompanying article). Their bazaar will

0

_ be held Saturday, October I from 10
a.m.-4 p.m. at Diefendorf Annex Cafeteria. Donations would be gratefully
accepted . A new group is being formed
for University Service (see accompanying
article).
During, and after, World War II, the
Women's Club aided families of faculty
members in Europe and provided volunteer service for the local Veterans' Hospital. They provided radios and plants for
the patients there.

~ Intern~tional ~roup welcomes visitors
he major goals of the International Committee of the Women's Club are a
warm welcome to the United States for viaiton from abroad and assistance
with tbe transition to their new environment and the American culture. The
committee, which has been in existence for the past 18 years, offen the
coordination of services, hospitality, and eultural activities. The committee works
closely with tbe Division of Student Affain, international education programs on
campus and the Buffalo World Hospitality group in the community.
Activities include a boat family program, monthly coffee get-togethers, informal
Eualiah convenation lessons, a household needs and clothing bazaar, ne'Waletter,
nei&amp;bborb~ aroupa, evening programs as weU as a loan service for sewing machines
and typewnten.
AU penoos interested in international friendship and contacts are iqvited to join.
This is an opportunity for Americans to share tbeir multi-faceted cultures with
. international visitors to Buffalo and / or the Uoivenity. It is also a unique chance for
international viaiton to share their diverse and faacioatina cultures with Americans.
Montblycoffeeget-togetberaare held from IOa.m. to 12noontbethird Tueadayof
each month at the Niipl&amp; FaiiJ Boulevard (enter through tbe rear parking lot). A

Students found out

ary summer jobs

By WENDY CONLIN
hile most undergrads were
-------flipping burgers or counselmg seven-year-&lt;1ld campers
this summer, a few found
work where the traditional student bas
not been employed.
. They spanne_d the gamut of opportli1littes - from spmning records to spinning
blood samples. And, according to one an
out-&lt;lf-the-&lt;~rdinary job can reap benefits
.. in more than one way."

W

ob Eaton, a sophomore biology
.
major who spent his summer worktog at St. Francis Hospital in Rosalyn,
Long Island, said that you earn - and ·
you learn.
A resident of Port Washington, Long
lsi~ . ~ob observed and indirectly
asststed m open heart surgery - a job
usually reserved for a trained orderly.
~The job was the best thing for me," he
claims. ~Doctors would explain procedures and artswer my questions - most
or the time."
Actual duties consisted of helping set
up equipment, relieving n
, sterilizing equipment and rtmning ernnds.
"I knew I wanted to help people - to
be aomethinJ in the mcdtcal fteld 10 I
volunteered, then later was taken on as a
paid employee."
Surgery captivated him. "I was
expoaed to almoat every facet or the hospital - and I'm leaning toward an occupation in surgery," be laid.
\
Operating room techniques "aren\
exactly like the TV versions," be noted.
~It's more at eaae; the doctors joke
aroUDd with each OCher."
One Of the most ditrtcuJt aspecU of the
job was confrontation with death. "We
would do between four and six open
heart surgeries a night," recalled the I 9year-old. ~It's risky and there are fatalitica - but the flfll death still stunned
me. I just got very quiet and took care of
the dead body."
Others in the operatin&amp; room would
tell jokca and langb. " You do what you
have to to keep youraelf sane,"-&gt; be
. explained.
~ay the eod of the summer I learned to
separate myself from it - we would say
'the cue is tertninated' - not 'be·died . •"
The main objective oftbejobwas to get
experience - "and I got it," laid a satisfied Rob. ~When I aot money it was nice,
but the knowledge wu worth more."

R

ob Chant, a senior, chose his job for
other reasons - mainly fmancial
B

His summer days were filled with long
hours in the July and AugUII sun afloat
on the Great South Bay near Long
Island. For ei&amp;ht hours eacb day be IIWIually raked the bottom of the bay for
Uttle Neck clams.
"I ftgW'Cd out that in two weeki I cover

�be chilling image
of teenqen tripping on LSD while
their unsuspecting
p&amp;renu prepare
fo.r ao apparently
elaborate cocktail
bash is a haunting
detail from Doing
Drugs (St. Martin's! Marek) , a
bool:. co-written by UB student Michael
Jackson and his father UB Englisb professor Bruce Jackson, an accomplished
novelist, foll:.lorist, filmmaker and photographer. The elder Jackson wrote the
chapter introductions and edited his son's
interviews, gleaned from 75 taped interviews with middle--class teenagers fro m
Buffalo and suburban Antbent, mostlv
friends and acquaintances, most of whoffi
were in their late teens at the time of the
interviews:
What emerges is a startling, often
shocking portrait of teen-age drug use . ..,
recalled by young people now about the
age of 21-year-old Michael, himself a
former drug user. The central theme 1s.
that parents of middle-dass youngste"
often refuse to admit theJil:.elibood - or
reality- of their children 's involvemen(
not onl;r: ~with marijuana, but also wu h
alcohol,'&lt; Quaaludes8, amphetamines.
barbiturates, cocaine, LSD, PCP ra
horse traoguilizer), and other drugs.
Writes Michael: "Even when paren ts
have some i.nl:.ling of what's going on .
they rarely l:.now the real extent. The)
may l:.now one of tbcir children smokes
pot - but few l:.now about the Quaaludes• and acid aDd apced." Says Bruce
Jackson,"lbeoe are reports mostly from
cbildrenofpriviJe&amp;e ..•. Tbcparents ow n

both pareDU are ·profesaionals, man y of

report states. Moreover, onelhinl of
those senion bad used i.11icit drup other
than marijuana. In addition, 41 per cent
of those senion had in the last month bad
five or more drinb in a row. "111at'l
heavy drinking." he says. "For us, when
we talk about drugs and lcids usin1 drugs,
getlinB into trouble with drugs, cominl to
terms with drugs, the central drug in their
experience is alcohol."
Drugs are also extremely available.
Comments one former teen drug dealer.
"Twenty doUan is easy to come by. Just
go out and cut a few lawns. There's no
problem. And coke I get turned on to (am
given it)just about every night. And LSD
is so cheap you don't have to woriy about
it. Just talr.e your aUowance and buy a hit
or buy two hits for the weekend and
you're all set . . . It's lilce that for every
other drug, too."
Most of the kids in the book have
"come·out of the excessive phase," says
Michael, limiting their present drug use
to marijuana and alcohol And it's important co remember that middle-class users
don't usually become addicts, be
reminds. But there is often the sobering
spectre of lost years, of a high school
experience necessarily sbortcbanBCd and
weakened. Says Bruce Jacbon: "There
are a lot of lcids who get throuib school,
drink alcobollilce everyone else does, llut
who in effect JO lhrou&amp;h hilh school witb
half their cylinden functioninl. When I

lcoown for drug use amo01 the
YOUOI. lronicaUy, Bruce Jacbon points
out, the older teenagers and college-aBCd
then concentrated on "the frealcier stuff,"
while teenagers were geoeraUy content
I with rmokinl marijuana. Tnday, bowever, the "teenyboppen" often are more
preoccupied with drugs like PCP and
LSD. But, as the elder Jackson points out
in the book, there is little about hallucinogens (LSD, peyote, psilocybin) in the
popular press today. "perhaps because
readers got bored with stories of perceptual changes, apocalyptic visions, and
bad trips.
"But the hallucinogens are still very
much around tbe junior and senior h.ilh
schools, • be continues. After pot and
boou, LSD is probably the drua with
which more kids have bad exJ&gt;!rience
than any other . . . Tbe acid the lcids get is
rarely p~a·e; sometimes it ian 't even acid at
aU ... Most of what the kidl purchue
aow is adulterated with ampbetamines or
atrycllJiine; aometimes wbat they buy is
nothia&amp; but alldty doee metham~
tamiDe or a amaU doee of atrycbDine. •

uawiiJiaa to face aa unpleuaat reality.
Writes Brvoe Jacboa: "l.t'* Dol that the

tered around them. Her usumpti~
about ber 'innocent' childrea woulda'
aliBa with her perceptions of the book,
and she would probably dismias most of
the lcids in it as uofortunate, deviant
misfits."
Similarly, the Jacltsons report, many
h.ilh school teaeben have responded
favorably to the book. "Tbey were &amp;lad to
see it because when they try to talk to
parents about these lcinds of things, part ents don't want to deal with it. Parents
are often hostile toward the teacher. So a
lot of them (teacben) who've been
burned by that several times won' call
parents because they f~gure. why should I
take that bullshiL"
Many in the book voice disapproval of
you01 children using drugs. Yet many, in
fact , began to use druas at a very young
a.ge; often ln the ninth grade; less frequently, though jarringly, as young u
eight or nine. Almost all their pan:nts use
alcohol or other drugs; some of them art
alcoholics .... Few of the-m are at all interested in setting high or drunk with their
parents; indeed , many of them clearly
disapprove of or lament the pill or alcohol use of their parent•," writes Bruce
Jacbon.
For some kids. drug use represents a
whole MW clash with legal authorities,
and this, too, presents terrible dilemmas
for parent and child alilce. Saya the elder
Jackson: "Often the wont effect of .wn,
druas is gettina in~ved with the authorities. If you get arreated, you've aota real
tear, even il your parents buy your -y

Remind a J acboa: "'"'- lcids have
access to can. Few of them come from
one-car families; many of them own their
own can. Most of the lcids Michael interviewed drive hi&amp;h and drive drunk.
Almost aU of them lcoow their abilities
an- severely impaired when they're hi&amp;h
or intoxicated, but they drive anyway."
Some sample comments: -I've been
damned druok, but I never bad to be
carried . I could walk. Maybe I'd stWhble
here and there. but there has never been a
time when I couldn \ walk. I have never
been drunk to the point where I couldn'
wallc . I have never been drunk to the
point where I couldn' drive a car.Do you d: ive drunk? Interviewee:
.. Yeah , but my car is a piece ofsbitand I
drive it slowly." Another. "I can drink up
to about ten beers and I can drive fine .
My reactions aren' slowed at all. I don'
drive exces5ively fast when I'm like that.
I'm just as well off as if I wasn' even
drunk at all or if I wasn' under the innucnce of ~mything ... The same teen continues, "As far u drinlciOB a lot and driving, I'm against that because too many
people have gotten killed that way."
Do you drive drunk? "Yeah. I've never
crashed and I've driven when I've been
really wasted. I suppose if a aituation
came up where I had to be alert,l'd probably crash. But when I'm drunk and I'm
driving I never ao nuts and race down
streets. It's usuaUy jwt driviaa home
drunk or I'm drivina to the store. I always
get there fine, ao it reaDy doesn' affect my
drivi!IJ. that mueh. •
W1ille parental conoera ia undcntandable, -~~~~says Jacbon, iaoounterprochacuve. "I don'ltbink it'S poaible to

"We'll move the ball on ~nse; we'll ba exciting,"
says Football Coach Bill ando. "And we'll be
quicker on both the often
and defensive
lines."
.
Dando's Bulls open the 1983 season on
Saturday, September 10 (kickolt 1 p.m.), against
Cortland State College at Rotary Field, with a
combination o( 40 returnMS (22 lettermen) from
last fall's 5-5 team, - r a l transfera (one, junior
Tony Rykken from Texas A &amp; M), and a IBrge
group of talented freshmen..
The best recruiting year UB hss enjoyed since
1979 helped boost the aqusd size to 130 alter the
first two - k • of drllia.
UB graduated both starting running backs, live
oltensiYe linemen and the entire defensive line,
but there's optimism because of the return of two
outstanding quarterbecks, ~ solid receiving corps
snd vets and niiWCOI'II8!J'WhO will fill the holes.
"There have been some pleuant aurprl-."
reporta Dando, starting his -nth MBSOn with a
23-29-1 record. "We have experience at most
positions and some good freshmen. Ali they need
Is maturity."
The OBI are senior Marty Barrett (N.
TonawandB-5WMI Home), 6-2, 190, and junior
Ken Hyer (TOftawandB), 5-11, 190, who combined
lor nearly 3,000 passing yards on the '82 team
thBt set V oflanalve recorda. Irs no secret the
Bulls will be paaa-happy. A strong receiver corps
Ia available also.
Defensively, the Bulla will be amaller, but
quicker up lront."We'll be more agg...atve,"
says Dando , with experience and depth at
linebacker Bnd In the deep secondary.
The kicking game Is strong again with the
..ratum of junior Bernie Weber who set -.on
records for PATa, 26 of 32, field goals. 11 of 14,
and points by kicking, 59, last season llnd punted
lor a 32.8-yard average.
The Bulls' first opponent, Cortland State, won
last year's bamburner by a 31-28 acont, one of
UB'a live ' - by live pointa or ._, mainly on
the paaa-catchlng of Frank Burm, who made
eight receptions lor 267 yards and two TO$.
Burm Is back again for the Red Oragona, under

e feeb otrongly that in light of the
patleml of distribution of tbe disease it would be reprehensible for any
bealth care penonnel to refuae to care for
AIDS patients on grounds that it might
be pused through casual contact. "lbose
who have AIDS realize their chances for
living much beyond a few yean following
diagnosis are extremely slim. For them to
be treated u lepen or wone by those in
the health field shows a lack of compusion and humanity on the part of those
individuals who have taken oaths to serve
the sick," Dr. Mobn pointed out. Until
scientific investigation can pinpoint the
cause of AIDS, every attempt should be
made to treat those patients who have
overwhelming opportunistic infections,
be said.

added, that all preeautions to safeguard
the blood supply as much as pO"ssible are
being taken.
Potential donora receive pampblets
concerning AIDS with the request that
they withdraw if they feel they are in a
high risk group. Donors are also screened
for recent infections or clinical symptoms
which might sussest AIDS.
"There is a need to protect those who
will need blood transfusions," said Dr.
Moho, "but there is also the necessity to
obtain blood to fulfill the . needs of
patients who would otherwise die in hospitals across tbe State."
Some potent;al donors have ealled
blood banks worried that they may -get
AIDS from needles or from bags used in
blood collection, Dr. Mohn said. Others
have postponed necessary surgery
because of fean of receiving blood from
donors who might later be found to have
the d isease. But, said Dr. Moho, "there is
no reaSon for panic in the streets over
AIDS. Tb"tre is no good evidence that we
are in for an all-&lt;&gt;ut epidemic of the magnitude of the Plague - killing men,
women and children indiscriminately."

would sb.o w among populations not at
risk.
Currently, a pilot study bas been
. initiated at the Buffalo Regional Blood
services Center of the American Red
Cross which involves routine screening of
all blood donon for anti-hepatitis B core antibodies. This particular test was
selected becauae of the high usociation
of hepatitis B virus infection and AIDS.
lbe Buffalo Blood Services Center was
selected, Dr. Mohn said, becauae it bas
tbe highest number of blood donations
annually in New York outside New York
City aod becauae the Western New York
area iJ currently free of known or suspected cases of AIDS which originated
locally.
"While there iJ still no convincing evidence to show AIDS can be transmitted
through blood transfusions, it iJ important th~ all safeguards be taken · with
blood being collected Statewide for use
by patients," Dr. Mohn emphasized.

Noting that a bill bas been recently
passed in New York State to provide
$5,250,000 for research and other endeavors related to AIDS, Dr. Mohn said a
multifaceted approach must be launched
to arrive at .conclusive answen to the

students.
However, wliile the action may prove
to be a boon to INS enforcers, the new
laws are currently proving to have a
somewhat different effect on college foreign otudent offices, explained Joseph F.
Williams, UB International Student

H

Universities will now be required to
maintain ..an accurate data retrieval system for reporting purposes" for the
Immigration .Service, Williams said.
They must also be prepared for random
"spot checks" from the INS.
While m'uch of what the INS is requiring universities to do under the new laws
is not "much different than we did
before," Williams said, the actual "enumeration .. of responsibilities, with much
more precioely stated objectives is new to
foreign student offices.
AU first-time UB international students, as well as any continUing students
who .. come into direct contact with the
INS"are immediately affected bytbe new
law. Williams noted that these students
must be " redocumentcd,.. a process
which evaluates the student's eligibility to
continue study in the United States. Full
time status in an academic program,
financial certification, and English language proficiency are all factors which
will be weighed before "recertification is
granted, " Williams said, explaining that
eliaible otudentl will then receive an "1-20
identification card" which must always
lie in their posseasion while in the U.S.
"The new 1-20 ID. c&amp;rd will carry the:
computer information to allow the INS
to confirm a student's status," Williams
noted. M And, actually this iJ an advantage
for studento, because the INS can just
look at the. card to fiod whatever they
may need to know ...
illiams explained that issuing the
new ID card to UB'I oubltantial
foreign ~pulation will occur on a rolling
huil, wtthall fmt-timestudentscompletina the necesury paperwork at their US
point of entry and continuina otudents
being redocumerited only upon contact
with an INS offacial, sometbina which
typically occun when crouina an international border.

down on schools which abuse student
immigration bws. While UB is "straightforward " in recruiting and enrollin&amp; foreign students, Williams noted that not all
other colleges can make the same claim.
" A few schools" which recruit foreign
students and admit them illegally into the
US, Williams explained, are a significant
problem for the INS. The situation is
more prevalent in vocational institutions,
such as business, beauty and technical
training schools. To help clamp down on
such enrollment abuses, tht'INS is dividins student visas into two SC{»&amp;rate
classes, one representing the "vocational"
student and another, much like the present visa, for the ..academic .. student.
The vocational visa will " be much
more closely monitored than the academic," Williams predicted, noting that
students will fall under the
t~eauc category.
To ensure that an individual's academic status is correct, Williams is
eocouragil\1 academic advison to carefully examine the records of internat.ional
students. "We're aslcina academic advis·on to carefully and accurately go over the
\!:t~.d check to see that it iJ in order,"

y the start of the next academic year,
Williams anticipates that UB's entire
1&lt;1reign student contingent, the nation's
15th largest, will have been redocumented, but until that time International
Student Aflairs will"have its hands full."
"More than anything else, the changeover is causing new burdens for us, .. Williams said. adding that his office must
inform students of their responsibilities
and prepare the required INS cfata. The
INS will conduct periodic audits to
ensure University compliance.
"The audit is very similar to the one the
Veterans Administration (VA) does to
check on benefit diJbunement," Wtlliams said. "If a school fails the audit, it
could lose its authorization (to enroll foreign·students)."
The immigration bureau may also visit
campuses, stopping to ~erify a studept's
credentials face-to-face. "Periodieally,
the INS nms checkl on students," Williams explained. "lbey may come bere aod
ask a student to present some valid
information concerning his or her status."Tbe new 1-20 ID card sbouklutisfy

identified which causes the breakdown of
cellular immunity of the victims and
leaves th1:m vulnerable to fulminating,
overwbelmin&amp; and deadly infection from
organisma which normally live in peaceful co-existtncc with the human body.
Theories u to the actual cause of
AIDS include notions such as an invasion of the victims by an UDipecilied
oraaniJm- poaaibly a virus, or a wearing
out of the cellular immune a)'ltcm caused
by an overburden of antigen. It is lr.nown
that certain infectious diaeaKI caused by

viruscs,notabl'j cytomegalOvirus, are
capable of C&amp;Uitng immunoauppression.
The mystery of AIDS is compounded
by the fact that it does not appear to have
existed previously in the population.
Unlilr.e Legionnaires' Diseue, which was
ultimately traced to a single organism
after- the Philadelphia outbreak, AIDS
ba4 not been described previously in the
medical literature.
'1bat iJ not to say it never existed in an
individual but prior to 1981 it apparently
never spread tbrou&amp;h a populatton to the
point of being reported," Dr. Moho said.
AIDS is not a mandatory reportable
disease as far as most major health asen·
cies are concerned. NewYorkasof July I
remains the sole state to require such
reportina. About half the reported cases,
Dr. Moho noted, have been in New York

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

SAB
'Flexible' building

many facilities

lthough originally scheduled to
be completed iri November
1984, the Student Activities
Building (SAB) could be finiohed within the next few months and be
ready for organizations to begin rel~t­
i~~&amp; inoide it, predicted Jack Everitt, UB
associate facilities program coordinator.
Whether oc not the University takes
advantage of the early completion date
will rely on bow many funds can be
divened to beat and maintain the structure durina the winter months. 1n addition, Everitt said, even after the SAB is
complctcd by the contractor and control
reveno to the Univenity, equipment must
11ill be purchased and inotallcd.

after the SAB opens, travel from the Talben Bull~n o~ the far eastern side_oftbe
Academic Spme to the SAB v1a the
ground floor. Eventually, he said, the
"tunnel" will extend to the proposed
Theoter and Dance Building expected to
be constructed between Slee Chamber
Hall and Alumni Arena.
veritt explained that the "tunnel" will
not be the only entry into the buildins, just one of many. "There will be
access from all directions," he said. "No
matter where you come from - Ellicott.
Clemens, the Bookstore, or Baldy - you
will find a door."
Still, the most prominent entry will be
the srouod . floor doon facina Knox
where a circular staircase will beckon
studenll to recreational activities on the
1eeond floor and a FoOd Service eatery

"The multi-purpose rciom will oervc

Contracton discovered it was more economical to build an extra wioa to the
northwest conier of th~ SAB (the
"found" space) than to ~pple witb the
topo)!aphy (a steep incline). With minor
modifications, Everitt laid, the area will
be used primarily to liousc student organizatfons and mcetioa rooms.

This past June, VPAA "Robert Rossbergsenlli memo todeansand directon indicating that SS62,700 of institutiona) fund s had been reallocated in the
1983-84 budget to add ress the Slipend
issue. This was in addition to an eight per
cent increase funded by SUNY Central
which Roubera decided to distribute
acrou-thc-board. Last year. GA / TAs
received a nine per cent across-the-board
increase from SUNY Central retroactive
to September I , 1982.
In that same June memo, Rossberg
advised the deans and d in:etors that
•pproximately $30,000 would be

Greiner explained that The Colle11es
were not jliven discretionary montes
because asststantships there are not used
for recruitment purposes. SILS and the
Law Sehool also received no allocations,
Greiner noted . because "the deans did not
feel add itional funding was necessary to
attract quality graduate students" in
those areas. Moot oft he assistantships in

were made, he said. to accommodate
them as much u po sible aiven available

Before Bunn's tenure. only an "understanding" existed with SU Y Central
that no araduate tudent would earn leas
than $2,000 a ,year. In the all of 1977.
Bunn set the floor at $2,600. It increased
by S2()(l by the sprina of 1978 and by
another $300 in the fall of 1978. In the :._.
sprins of 1979, the fl oor reached $3,300
a nd by the next sprina. S3.SOO. ince
Ro sbers took office in the fall of 1980,
the grad uate tipe nd minimum has aone
from S3,SOO to the prese nt $4,400.
John Crawfordl'flresident oft he Graduate Student Association, com plained to
the IUportrr that the decision on stipends
was made without any input from aradu·

Committee. Accorilit~~to Crawford, the
VPAA wrote a memo two yearsaao ind icat ina that no decisions of this nature
would be made without input from that

ever, Wilson said, the more computerized
the offices become, the less likely Main
Street trips will be.
MCurrently, the moSt extensive compu·

said. • Aod the opposite is Financial Aid."
"But we're worldns on the computeri·

assured.

Fenton Lectures -' 83
By MARY KUNZ
ass market music a nn oys

M

~rof. Charles Keil , and VisIting Professor Alan Free-

man has no pat ie nce with
the Ame rican Myth of"making it . " Or so
the two told Fenton Lecture audiences on
campus this summer.
.. ( treat records badl y," announced

American Stud ies Professor Keil. .. I'm
into t ras hing the fami ly TV. I resent all
the tapes-l've made . 1 dislike rock
conccns - too much mediated so und ...
Keil , su rprising ly, has nothing against

entertain ment. rock music. or noise in
general. What he dislikes is - mediated ..
sound, and th e business of reco rd ing and
marketing popula r music. As a renowned
ethn o musicolog is t , K.e il resents the
impact mass med ia has had on the popular music of t he U.S. and other countries.
Keillectured o n th is subject on Ausus t
16 in Moot Cou rtroom of O'Brian to
conclude the summer Fe nton Lecture
Series. His p resentation was ~titled
"The Media-Im pact on Pop ular Music.·
and reflected the researc h he has d one
over the years.
By the t~rm "poptilar music,·· Keil was
not referri ng to Billy J oel or th e Kinks.
The po pular music he studies is, literally,
''people's music." It is communitysupported, "'of, by and for people,· and
often has ethnic or religious significance.
K.eil's research has ce ntered a round blues
and polkas, both examples of what he
means by " popular music." He lamented
that since the arrival of mass med ia such as radio and recordings - mus ic of
this type has been o n the decline. But he
notes that many examples still survive.
"The singing in black churches is th e
best and biggest example of people ~ '
music," he explained. "Another example
might be the Polish polka music in Buffalo . Some country-&lt;lnd-western ban
might qualify, although it's very ambiguo us - it could be people 's music, or mass
media."
./ S ince when did mass media become the
enemy of " people's music?"
Keil traces the impact of the mass
media to 1928 when blue. and po lkas
were first recorded . Bet ween the two
world wars, he pointed out, records had a
disastrous effect on popular music.
Recorded " blue. and polkas began u
racial stereotypes, " Keil declared . "The
sad darkie si ng$ the blues, and the happ y
Polack dances the pol ka. • Record ings, he
noted, tended to " polish" the music,
depriving it of its original flavor .
ln time, the media's stereotyP" had its
effect . After the media populanzed these
..musical forms, blacks tended to sing the
blues and Poles to dance the polka
because that was.what was expetted of
them.
~Most immigrants knew the polka as
only one of30 or 40 dances, • Keil pointed
out.
eco~dings had other di~astrou s
effecu on popular muste. They
replaced live music in many instanca,
putting musicians out of work. The replication of music (in scores) was promoted
by recordings.. Music, Keil ~lained ,
became a commodity - something that
could be packaged, duplicated, and sold.
This marketing and duplication of
music, be asserted, is unique to our westem culture.
"To other cultures, the idea that you
can record. write down or'frec:ze' miiiiC is
bizarte. SclliJII tbc riP! 10 mate tbcac
songs would. be awful .. - Heariq tbc
music repeated would be a kirid of mador ni&amp;htmare. Outside Mllenl .cui. ~,muaicital-ysfluid,openandflaw·

The Japanese sce ne loo b cheerful
enough , but Ke il warned 'that the media's
ill effects on popular mu sic still .sh o uld
not be ignored . "Every mediated mu sic
experience has an alienation factor." he
said .
Keil is distressed that .. mediated music
experiences" - such as listen ing on
headphones or playing a radio
pull
people away from each other and from
the spontaneous musical creation which
often existed bdori recordings. He suSpects that most people do not not ice the
damage that has been done , and adopt a
passive attitude.

.. The pro blem of intell igence is that 1t

.. It exists only in tests. All tests can ever

Freeman lamented that peo ple d epe-nd
on tests to determine civil-serv1ce aptl·
tude. IQ . and a number of o ther
variables .
"'The tendency is to p resume that te~t ~

the sheer ecatasy of remembering Ted Williams' lifetime slugging average

To provide the campus community with sont.e "sensual" relief from the
tedium of drop/add lines, syl}abus writing or dealing with Irate students, the
Reporter, a periodical never comudered trivial, presents Its first annual "US Scavenger
Hunt tor the Trivial Minded." --- \

Week
'Fifth of July ' on 7th of September
Fifth of July, Lanford Wilson's play about the
j.9ff'i:eunion of a group of ex-Berkeley students
were friends in the tumultuous 1960s, will be
staged by JEM Productions, a semi-professional
local company directed by former UB Theatre
Fellow Elaine M. Summers, at 8:30 p.m.
September 7 through 11 in the UB Center Tneatre,
681 Main Street. In addition , a special matinee
performance is scheduled lor Sunday, September
11 , at 3 p.m.
·
Fifth of July opened in 1978 at the Circle Rep
ih New York with' John Hurt in the lead role, and
later moved to Broadway with Christopher Reeve
In that same role. The play was revised in 1982
and later featured ~ichardThomas of The
Wellons in the lead role. This last production
·received rave reviews, says Summers.
The play revolves around a group of friends
who came of age in the 1960s, separated as the
decade grew to a close, and .now gather for a
reunion at an old farmhouse in Missouri. As they
remin isce, they reveal their lost dreams and
buried resentments, expose the shattered hopes
of their college days and experience, still , the
unhealed trauma of the Vietnam War.
The play takes place in 1977 on the weekend of
July 4 and 5. Scott Wood Is technical director
and Lilly Bolton is costume designer. UB
students are among the cast members.
Tickets at $6.50, general audience, and $5,
students with I. D. and senior adults, are available

Box Office (647-6461 ). Tickets will also be sold at

guage paper published in Paris. The
record breaker was.a "Tree of Life" door
which was sold for SIIO,OOO and another
door from the house, this with a more
abstract desigri, which went for S35,200
to the same purchaser, identified only as a
California collector. Another ~~Tree: of
Life" window was auctioned off at
S41;800, going to an unidentified American collector. 1n addition, a very narrow
"Tree of Life" window went for $13,200
to an English collector, while still another
window, also with the "Tree of Life"
design and once located in the conservatory, was sold Jor Sl2,100 to a French
museum.
In the case of such sales, O'Hern hopes
to interest buyers in becoming "angels,"
that is, in donating back to the bouse the
valuable materials.
Members of the advisory board
chaired by Dean Coloen are Melissa
Banta, Sheldon Berlow, Ruth Bryant,
Elizal;&gt;eth Cromley, James Dyett, Harold
Esty, Lorelei Ketter, Albert L. Michaels,
Donald Larson, Judith A. Shanley and
Robert G. Shibley, who is chairman of
the U B Department of Architecture.
Jason ArnotT, president of the Western
New York Chapter of the Society of
Architectural Htstorians, is organizing

Ke, Cromley and Richard Cordts of

Wright also disguised all beating, lighting and plumbing systems. Radiators
were.hidden behind bookcases ot covered
pya woodwor!&lt; grille (the h9use now has
modern baseboard heating), and plumbing was incorporated into the walls or
floors, access to which was only through
small holes camouflaged by doors
designed to resemble laundry chutes.
Many of the lights were recessed and nat- .
ural illumination was used as much as
possible. \\'right also made extensive use
of skylights and similardevi•es to illuminate hard-to-light areas. O'Hern hopes to
restore at least one of these skylights.
"Wright brings you down very
. gently," says Q'Hern, pointing
out the gradual deseent to the lower floor
(the upper floo't ·will be used primarily as
exhibit space). Descending, the frrst floor
beams creatc ~ a zone into which visitors
pass from above. "Originally," notes
Quinan, "you could see down into l.he
basement from .the lower point of the
stairs.~ Edgar Tafel. the former Wright
appientiq: and author of Apprentice to
Genius: :Years With Frank lloyd Wright,
restored the bouse to its present form,
having been hjrcd for the work during the
administration of former UB President
Martin Meyerson. Tafel put in a skylight
over these stairs and made other
improvements which were much needed
after the changes that had occurred over
the years.
After 1937, when Mrs. Martin was
widowed, the house lay vacant for 17
years. It was purchased in 1954 from the
City of Buffalo (which l!ad acquired it in
1946) by tJ:!e late Buffalo architect Sebestiah J. TaurieUo. Other changes took~
place during this time, including the divISion of the house into four apartments.
The configuration of the second floor,
0'Hem no.tes, was almost entireJy
changed.
In any case, restoration of the house
has its frustrating moments, O'Hem
adds. Recently, he learned quite by
chance that an individual bad bought six
of the Martin House dining room chairs,
unaware ·at 'the time that they were
Wright-designed. The individual bought
them "for a s9ng" 'and could now sell
them at a 1,000 per cent profit, says
O'Hern. "There is no way that we could
buy them at that (the present) price." And,
too, no matter how self-sustaining the
house eventually beeomes, some materials "out then:" (which O'Hern and his
adviaen are aware of) remain prohibitively expensive.
In late May, precious materials from
the Martin House, wliich hod been
removed from· the house before it was
sold to SUNY and. long stored in Buffalo,
wen: IOid a1 Chriatie'l, the New York auction bouae. A report of the recordbrealcing aale was carried by the Associated Praa, with accounts appearina in
publicatillal u dilwlt u the INnMtioNII Hnald Tribune, an English ' Jan-

n addition, the Friends of the Darwin
IsorQuinanand
D. Martin House, chaired by ProfcsMrs. Ketter, will continue
their work on behalf of the house. The
Friends group has worked feverishly for
the house's restoration and recently procured the often wry, often poignant correspondence of Wright and Martin, as
contained in 250 letters written between
the two men from 1902 to 1935. As Buffalo News critic Anthony Bannon
pointed out, ..It is an amazing collection
becal!se of its many faces, because of its
thoroughness, and it is specially wonderful, .foo, because it exists, is here and is
public," This acquisition, a gift to the
University from the Friends of the Darwin D. Martin House, is housed in the
University Archives.
In some cases, the goal of O'Hern 's
restoration wiU be a reasonable facsimile
only. The "Tree of Life" windows once
fliled the house; now only a comparative
few are left. These were "art glass," not
stained or leaded glass, and CQntained a
wisteria motif created with zinc·cames.
Ira Licht writing in 1968 in Am Magazine wrote that Wright referred to ·his
windows as "light screens• and thought
of them as taking the place of second
story walls. The windows, he added,
"were heavily inlaid with a variety of
colored glasses, often opaque or indescent." Tbe effect, he said, was "abetted by
the supersession of leading by a then
new electro-glazing method which added
a gilded appearance."
Wri&amp;ht also designed most of the furnil~, including the now famous "barrel chan• and the landacaping; he felt that

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

                    <text>U.S. CAN LEARN FROM .J APAN
By MICHAEL L. BROWN
he managerS of American
industry have much to learn

T
~

from their Japanese counter- ·

parts especially in terms of their
own productivity, not labor's, it was discussed at a press conference at the Center
For Tomorrow last Friday morning.
American and Japanese industry officials, business executives, government
leaders, and academics met here the same
day for a symposium on "The An of Productivity Management." The one-day
affair was spon5ored by the UB School of
Management, The International Executive Program in M'\Dagemetit and English, The Japanese Government, and The
Japancoe Language and Culture.Program.
At the press conference, both Japanese
and American officials. who have visited
Japanese facilities, denied recent allegationsof abuse and maltreatment of labor
in some Japanese factories. According to
Dr. C. Carl Pegels. professor of management here,.. abuses are not evidenL

"J don'
think those statements a,re
quite fair. My observation was that
the plant in question is not all that different from many American plants." Dale
Hoover, pnenli manager of the medium
motor and aearillll division of Weslinghouse Electric Corp. in Cheektowaga,
concurred. He said, "'I saw no evidence of

abuse a\ all when I was there. The working conditions were clean and the people
were very disciplined and active in their
work." Dr. Hiroki Shioji. a research
associate of Harvard University's _U.S.lapan Relations Program, added that,
"Today; when young Japanese work in
the factories they many ttmes .have other
things on their minds &lt;Other than work.
But , overall, I think that things in our
factories are very good for the workers:
No one is being forced to work." ·
When the panel was asked how wide a
gap there is between the productivity of
the American and Japanese work forces,

Hoover offered that it is more a case of
quality than production.
"The Japanese have a far greater dedication to quality than we seem to have. I
didn't see anything n;aore innovative in
terms of equipment over there, b.ut lhey
make sure they build it right the firs! time,
every time." said Hoover. Reponing that
the numbers do indeed give American
industry the edge in goods produced was
Dr. Eltiott Grossman, associate professor
of economics at Pace University. Gross·
man said, ..Our data indicate ttiat goods
produced per man hour shows that the
US is 70% ahead and in agriculture it's

even higher. But, in manufacturing. espe·
cially electronic machinery, the gap is
lowered to about 30% in favor of the US."
Grossman continued, ..The coMpetitive
position of the US depends on how you
view it. In terrfts of our broad social point
of view, we're still very far ahead of the
Japanese."
he primary focus of attention at the
press session, however, was Ameri·
can management techniques and produc·
tivity. Or as Hoover related, the lack of

Pharmaceutics reunion draws alumni from around .the world
- :

By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
hough the sun was brilliant and
the breezes coo~ three of the four
chairs of the 2il-year-old
department cloistered themselves in a darkened lecture hall last
week peering at slide after slide and
listening to students present papers
on tbeir research. .
- Dr. Milo Gibaldi: chair of the
Department of Pharmaceutics at U B's
·School of Pharmacy from 1970 to 1978,
had uaveled from the U"niversity of
Washington at Seattle, where he is dean
of the School of Pharmacy. to Buffalo for
the four·day symposium/ reunion.
because of his pride in the department he
helped establish.
"How could I stay away?" he
questioned.
Beside him sat Dr. Ho-Leung Fung,
who has chaired the department for the
past four years. Dr. Gerhard Levy, a
distinguished professor of biopharmaceutics and a pioneer ~n pharma~
cokinetics, who was the chair from 1966
to 1970, relaxed on the far side of the
Knox Lecture Hall. The late Dr. Eino
Nelson was the first chair of the
department that has graduated more
than 50 Ph.D.s.

T

Around the three men circled their
students and fellow faculty members.
Former students from as far away as
Germany and Switzerland had returned
for this reunion.
r. Ulf Wiegand, who teaches
pharmacology at the University of
Mainz in West Germany, attended the
lint one Ill' 19~. Although he came back
this time to abo visit his wife, Ruby
Chou, a gtaduate student studying with
Levy, he said be would have come

is the best and the most famous in the
field of pharmacokinetics." Lery directs
UB's Clinical Pharmae okinetics Research Center, which is one of 10 in the
nation that deals specifically with the
pharmacoloev an(~ toxicology of drugs.
In a UB laboratory, Wiegand met
Ruby Chou. They married in 1980. Ulf
returned to his native country, while
Ruby remained in Buffalo to complete
her Ph.D. in pharmaceutics. Using anti~
epileptic drugs, she has Peen investigating how pregnancy ' affects drug

..This is a center of training that is

where people return to strengthen their

It is -a place that balances education ·

hen James MacGregor Bums
studies American history~ he
gets "terribly excited." So
much so that the Pulitzer
Prize winning political scientist is willing
to state that "history is fun, political
science isn't."
All ironies aside, the Williams College
professor has found the study of American history to be a fascinating d
and more importantly. one that
valuable lessons for us all if we
survive as a nation entering our third
tUry of existence.
Speaking on " Why l:eadership Fails in
America,"atlist Wednesday's Faculty of
Educational Studies Summer Forum lecture, Burns related to a packed Moot
Court Rooma ddiencethattheAmerican
constitutional and political system conspire to make strong leadership almost
impossible. Furthermore, he feels, looking back. on history_. especially in recent
decades,. there seems to be "complete
failure in our leadership."

W

a

urns said, "During the last 20 years or
so, the problems of leadership seem
to have increased. The quality of state
legislatures has gone down, Congress has
been d,isorganized, we've had a series of
one-term presidencies, we saw the fact
that a decent man like Jimmy Carter
• couldn \ make it in the White House. And
even with all the· hoopla of presidential
press coverage, only 50% of .eligible
voters show up to vote on average.
..I could go on and on with this story
but let's ask ·why we have seen a lack of
leadership," Burns suggested. "If we have
a system that seems to operate by guess
and by God, then why?," he asked.
The apparent demise in leadership,
Burns explained, stems not from just ..a
bad run of presidents" or the fact that
there·are no good leaders today. Ironically, it originates right.from the structuring of our cQnstitution in the 18th century. In fact, he feels an anti-leadership
system was deliberately created by our
forefathers. Says Burns, '"The framers of
the constitution were so concerned with
republics that had been smashed and
ruined by zealous leaders, that they purposely made our system fragmented in
the states and in the nation. They built a
series of conflicts into the whole system."
This "was the genius of the men of
1787," he said. They ~anted a lot of con-

B

flict between the House and the Senate
and the president. Connie! was built in
permanently, not through the division of
power, but through making power
responsible to different constituencies. It
was a tremendous success for theni, but
not for us," he added.
his original structuring of the constitution came under scrutiny and was
itself modified in the 1830s and 40s with
the advent of "party politics," Burns
recaUed. This change in the American
political scene. this ""people's constitution ... a'S Burns referred to it, had its
origin in the politics of New York State.
According to Burns,the"people's constitution" was a quite effective system.
.. This second constitution was different
from the first because it was drawn up in
the taverns and the smoke-filled rooms,
and at the caucuses. lt was built by everyday American politicians and ...it was an
essential and effective way of getting
power... he explained.
The juxtaposition of these dissimiliar
constitutions worked ..tolerably well''
during the 19th century, said Burns, but
the coming of the 20th century, and some
· crucial events therein, changed everything. And, he said, it was a change for
the worse because it dramatized the inef-

T

fectiveness of our constitution in terms of
leadership.
he creation of a nationwide economy
calling for drastic governmental regulation and intervention. along with a
greater emphasis on .. democratizing'' the
government. in effect caused the. formation of a third constitution during the
· 20th century. contended Burns.
.. Jt was mainly a rebellion against pany
politics and the smoke-filled room scenario ... Bums said ... The adoption of the
party primary system had an especially
dramatic effect on our system also
because it became the only essential factor for gaining office. ·It seems to me that
a relatively orderly system of party competition was replaced by the politics of
theatre." he added .
Burns funhermore feel s that the extent
to which democracy has spread - democratization - is another hindrance to
our present constitutional and political
system. He said ... Our political system is a
fundamentally irresponsible one because
it's terribly hard to make leaders accountable for their actions. No one has to take
responsibility; they can all go back to the
electorate and say 'It's not my fault'."
Moreover... Because of the way democracy has spread to the cities. towns, and
villages it's hard 1!&gt; see who does what. I

T

think we have been left with a system th at
is Oabby and ineffectual." Burns add ed.
n order to adequately prepare for the
21st cent ury. Burns proposes some
drastic changes for our constitution and
I he political process as a whole. He would
like to sec:
• a restructuring of the founding
fathers ' system into a more parliamentarylike one where the president would be
able to choose members of Congress for
his cabinet without them losing their
seats;
• the abolition of the ..archaic" twoyear term for Congressmen and creation
of a four-year term so as to alleviate the
.. eros ion" of mid-term elections:
• abolition of the electoral college and
the institution of a direct. popular voting
format for the presidency: and
• salvaging the party system by gelling
rid of the .. media-oriented" primary.
Said Burns ... It's unimaginable that we
could plan to go into our third century
with essentially the same system. To me it
would be a case of good luck if we did
survive. I just don't think wo..ean hack it
in the next 100 years if we don't make
D
these changes." •

History of Fort Niagara· being unearthed by UB team
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

n Dca:mber of 1678, the French
explorer uSaUe sailed across
Lake Ontario to a barren point at
the mouth of the Niagara River.
Among his companions was Father
Louis Hennepin, who later that year was
the first European to view and report on
the mighty cataracts a few miles up the
river.
.
This smaU group constructed a
primitive fon at that site. Later to
beccome one of the most important fur
trading posts in America. the post was
subsequently renamed Fort Niagara and
experienced a colorful history as ihe
scene of Indian attaclu;, early milita
treaties and skirmishes with Britisli
uoops which toolt it over in 1759.
During-the American Revolution. Fon
Niagara was a British base. the seat of

-rriors, carried out bloody raids against

Among the team of volunteers
involved in the dig is Gordon Schmall.
who for many Yl"'rs worked in UB's
Anthropology Department. In three
years of digging at the Fort. the volunteers
have recovered more than 10,000 objects,
including prehistoric Indian pottery
dating to the 14th century, colonial
pottery, buckles, buttons, musket balls
and other items.
he project is also unearthing the early
Tstructure
of the Fort. Otl~r important

finds have included a contact period
Indian cam.P site which included early
French trade goods; a late 18th century
garbage pit containing British material;
several building foundations, including
·the stone foundation of a barracks which
once flanked the Fort~s outer earthwofks;
a British storm drain constructed in 1762
through the center of the Fort; the earlier
foundation of a reconstructed bakehouse, and an underwater foundation of
a 19th century American gun battery.
The archaeologists have determined that
at least two-and-a-half feet of cultural
material have accumulated since
Europeans first settled the fort grounds in
the 17th century.
Last winter, some of the project's
volunteers put together in the Fort's
Powder Magazine an exhibit of the
artifacts. Among the volunteers were
Millard FiUmore College students Sandy

Professors Charles Cazeau, Charles
Ebert, Theodore Steegmann and David
Brophy have all worked on the project in
its three-year history. It is hoped that
funding to continue a 10-year Archaeological Development Plan can be
obtained.
"Fort Niagara is one of the most
historic posts for French and
British times in the Great Lakes,"
Stuan Scott commented.
In addition to obtaining important
research artifacts, the project has also
offered .. visitors to ttie Fort - the
opportunity to observe a ... reat••
archaeological dig in progress and has
become one of the must-see stops on Fort
tours.
The new museum provides interpretive
exhibits illustrating both the history of
the Fort and the finds of the Archaeo-logy
Project. Murals done by WPA workers
line the room in the old battery. A life~ize wooden illustration of a King's 5th
Regiment foot soldier is included in the
exh1bit; excavated artifacts of clothing or
equipment have been attached in

He comes by il naturally
He believes his interest in des~gning and
building everything from equipment to
houses. with occasional car repair thrown
in for good measure. comes naturally.
One of !tis grandfathers was a clockmaker who also repaired musical instruments; the other was a casketmaker who
went into furniture making and worked
at Kittinger.
T'B nski"s own father was a mechanic at
the company which was a predecessor or"
NFTA. And Tanski himself worked there
for IS years befo~ joining U/ B in 1954
when the School of Medicine was located
on High Street. His wife. who's not only
handy around the house but also a tal.cnted decorator and gardener. was a
welder before her marriage.
"I guess I really got my start, though.
when my brother and I used to make
diving headgear when we were teenagers. •• Tanski recalls.
And much as he likes to work aroun6
his own home. he takes great pride in the
work which employees of the Health
Sciences Instrument Shops have performed "in the line of duty."
"I think I can safely say there's nothing
we can't repair. build ordesign,"hesays.

while writing is known to
contribute to such thinp as penonaland

school and employment, these new less

become the focus-ofwtitina instruetion in

have, in olton, come to see that writing
has benefits (or the composer well
beyond tbe benefits of just finishing a
written task or assignment."
Cooper cited a variety of researchers in
st1J1C11ia1 that tbe writina process is
more !han what it has been thoughtto be
jult anotber fotm of human
expreuion. For instance, be looked to the

the work of Scribner aDd Cola, which

Cooper because "they were able to
determine that writina is an important

In relation to tbe lcamina process,
Cooper strollliY ~ that the act of

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

include Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and
Lying by Sissela Bo,k.
The purpose of the seminar, he
explained, will be to show the students
how a particular topic can be examined
through different intellectual approaches.
He also hopes to reinforce the message
that serious study should be-undertaken
as part of a quest for knowledge ratherthan just to puU good grades. Peradotlo

sophomores, but it will ~ optional.
· Since U 8 organized its HonoR Program before SUNY's got off the ground,
the origilllll plan was to have U8's Honor

efTort. lack of 008 fundifta for the program, however, dashed that hope.
As opposed to UB, SUNY has only 18
stutknts in its entire prog.am, dispersed
!hrough 12 campuses. Each campus
involvedintheSUNYprogram-and UB
is not one of t·hem - must pay for the
entire cost of a student's tuition, room,
board and supplies, with funds raised
from private sources, noted Katharln
Reihl, director of school-college relations
for SUNY CentraL ·Some schools are
even including money for trav.el expenses

to and from honors activities, sUch a s
symposia held ofT campus, she added.
The· total figur~ • .Reihl estimates,
approaches $4,500 to $4, 700 per student.

Lead screening :~rged

By WENDY ARNDT HUNT'

hen American parents won't
tole!"te polio or rubella· to
afflict their children, why do
they allow lead poisoning to
harm them. a federal pediatric consultant
challenged her audience of health care
providers.
. Esjlecially, aU / B physician said, when
lead f{pisoningca'D beeasilydeteeted with •
a simp_le. inexpensive screening test.
.
About ISO people attended a conference on lead poisoning and irori deficiency anemia that waS held last month at
the Executive Inn . The conference was
sponsored by the W.N.Y. Jask Force on
Prevention of Mental Retardation and
Developmental Disabilities.
Dr. Jane Lin-Fu, a pediatric consultant With the Office of Maternal and
Child Health in Washington, D.C.• said
lead poisoning a man-made childhood
illness that can caqse mental retardation.

affects four per

children.

• _A11 p.re.-schonl- ~ldren should be

said Dr. Robert Guthrie, a U/Bprofessor
of pediatrics · and microbiology. Dr.
Guthrie, who developed. the phenylketonuria (fJI.I:I) tesi ' tlult deteets a liver
enzyme deficiency, was in the forefront of
yesterday's fight to institute laws mandat•

states require all bailies to undergo tests
that determine various potential health
Rrobleins.

acknowledged that U B's program was
scrutinized, but betieves that SUNY's
program basita•own distinct mark. As far
as H~ey and Wynne know, SUNY
adopted UB'sguidetines, incl,uding use of
faculty mentors and the formation of an
advisory committee. SUNY's minimum
requirements were also the same as UB's
last year, that is. a 93 high school average
and a combined SAT score of at least
1250. The students who actually got into
the SUNY program, however, had much
better credentiils. Reihl said she understands, for instance, that SUNY Albany's
three Honors students had at least a 97
high school average and about 1400 on
their SA Ts. BUI tbere were only' three.
Despite obvious disappointment about
not,bavingthe Honors Program included
in the budget. Reihl said SUNY sull
hopes for DOBfuodingfornextyear.lfit

:Qr. Thomas Perry

dead at 58
r. Thomas D. Perry, professor
of philosophy at U B and a
leading scholar in philosophy
·
of law, died Friday, July 16, in
Deiconess Hospital after a short illness.
He was 58.
A _graduate of UB Law ScHool and a
long-time resident of the Buffalo area,
Dr. -Perry was a membl'r of the bar in
New York State and the District of
Colum bia, anjl a former legal counsel to
Congress and the · Bell Aerospace
Corporation. He earned a distiitguished
dot;torate in pJ:tilosophy at · &lt;;olumbia
University in 1966.
.
In 1916, Clar~ndon Press of Oxford
University published his book, M.oral
Reasoning f1nd Truth. He was also the
author of numerous articles in such
journals as Journal of Phi/osoph,v.
EJhics, Analysis. American Philosophical Q(!arterly •. Philosophjcal Studies and
the Buffalo Lo w Review.
On· the UB faculty since 1966, Dr.
Perry served as a U.S. Army Corj&gt;s radio
operator in the Pacific' during World War
11. He-served as associate chairman of the
Philosophy Department here and
director of its undergraduate studies
from 1967 to 1.970.
During his tenure at the University,

Jorge Gracia. chairman of· the
Philosophy Department, told family aod
friends gathered at a memorial service
T.ilesday that "we can never expect to fill
the vacuum that Tom leaves behind.
Each of us feel his loss differently. His
students· have lost an energetic and
indefatipble teacher. many of us have
lost a friend , and all of us in the
Philosophy . Department have lost a
vigorous, hardworking and trustworthy·
colleague."
·
Gracia; called Dr. Perry a "quick and
brilliant intellect~ who was "conversa~t
wit~ a~most every current of
philosopbical speculation.~ He eulogized
him as a , man uf "outstanding teaching
. ability" and a "central figure in
depanmental affairs* who was generous
with his time and help when it came to
assisting C!&gt;lleagues and.students. Though
Dr. Perry was a man who held strong
convictions and could "defend them
with pnsif&gt;il' and force." Gracia praised
hil}l for "always being willing to reexamine his views and to discuss the
merits of ;the arguments of those who
disagreed with him.~
· The Philosophy Department is
planping to honor his memory at a
memorial service this fall.

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

                    <text>reorganization of UB's Faculty of Educational Studies, termed
a complete overhaul" by one;: official, takes effect August 15,
FES Dean Hugh G. Petrie has announced. .
.
· The re-ordering consolidates eight FES departments into
three new departmedt , _ eh with a ntwlyrname¢ chairmap.
The new structure is as follows:

A
• The new Department of Learning
an&lt;t instruction is comprised of the
former departments of Elementary and
Remedial Educatio~ and Instruction.
and three faculty members fro)ll the
former Department of Curriculum
Development and Instructional Media. lt
will be cl!aired by Dr. Wiltiam Eller.
• A new Department of Educational
Organization, Administration and Policy
Studies is comprised of all but one faculcy
member from the former Depanment of
Social, Philosophical· and Historical
Foundations; all the faculty from. ex·
Depanmen\s of Higher Education and
Educational Administration, and two
faculty from the old Depanment of Curriculum Development and 1nstructional
Media. D&lt;. Mike M. Milstein has been
appointed acting chairman o.f this new
depanment.
·
o A new Depanment of Educational
Psychology and Counseling is comprised
of the ex-Depanments of Counseling anc!
Hum&amp;ll Services and Educational PsycboiOI)'.It will be chaired by Dr. Stanley
H. Cramer.
.
A petlllllncnt chairman for Educa·
tioll&amp;i Orpaizatioo, Administration and
Policy Studies will probably be nanteei in

the fall, $aid P.;trie. He added that the
re-shuffling won' result in any "budge·
tary savings." The changes were ·needed,
he said, to better "deploy" resources, and
to give FES faculty increased "intellectual stimulation." Petrie added: "We had
too many depanments for the number o(
faculty here . ., Enrollment was a factor.
too. ••Previously, some departments were
slightly over-loaded; others were slightly
under-loaded," said the deAn.
n an interview with the H.t!porur last
fall , Petrie said an FES realignment of
sorts was underway when ex-FES dean
Dr. Roben Ross berg accepted the Vice
President for Academic- Affairs post.
During the interim, Petrie said, .. it (reorganization) got put oif hold ."
By mid-fall, 1981, - Petrie said. his
faculty had decided that some form of
reorganization was needed. By late
December, "we had settled on the over-all
framework" of the prescnl plan. During
the spring, "people (faculty) chose which ,
of the new departments they would align
themselves with, • Petrie explained. Also,
. four faculty reorganization "task aro11ps"
made =ommendations on space, sup-

I

port and secretarial slarr, along with
teaching and graduate assistants, FES
Jabs, centers and instituteS, and possi ble
Dean's Office reorgani7.ation.
Staff re-assignments were then made;
no one lost a job as a result oft he shuffle,
Petrie stated, adding the chanJteS will
haye .. no immediate effect on student
programs;"the latter is "a separate issue"
in his view.
"'
· •.
Asked if reorganization had provoked
any ranco r, Petrie said no. "It has.n)
caused a ny large-scale unhappiness, .. he
stated ... MY general impression is that it
was generall y ab:cpted ." What "grum'
bling .. there was. Petrie-said. was ... mostly
constructive cri ticism."
he three chairs were each recommended by their faculty to Petrie,
T
whO then made his own recommendations to Rossbc:rg. The "general outline.,_.
of re-organization was .. circulated"
among UB deans, all of whom liked the
plan. althougb a few had reservations
about names oftwo'depanments: Educational Organization, Administration and
Policy Studies, and• Educaiional Psychology and Counseliria. According to

Petrie, lhese individuals feel the names
may ~· mi s-l~a d,. students as to the nature
of courses offered. Petrie doesn"t agree.
There will be no transition phase, I he
dean continued. si nce the new depanments were already holding •"shadow
department meetings" lasLspring. while
old departments continued to meet.
Cramer, who was acting FES dean for
a year before Petrie's appointment. holds
a B.A. degree in English from the University of Massachusetts, a master's degree
in English from SUNY I Albany. and an
Ed.D. degree in guidance and counseling
from Teachers College, Columbia. Eller.
who was. named chairman of the former
Depanment of Elementary and Remedial Education in 1981 , had served in a
similar administrative cap3city for more
than half of his 20 year tenure at UB. A
reading specialist, he received a B.A.
.degree from ~isconsin State Univer\ity_
•I Platteville, and master's and doctoral
de[Jrees from the University of Iowa. Milstetn, wllo has taught at UB since 1967,
received a B.S. in social studies and an
M.A. dearcc in American history frqm
the Univenity of Minnesota, aDd a flh. D.
in educational ad&lt;ninistratioo from the
-University of california at Berkeley. o·

Dr. WolterJ. On1o{St. Louia Uniueraity
reca.lle that when h e went to eoUe(~
in.atnu:tion and te•U were all in Lt:ati.n,
the learnin6 of which wcu aort of a mq:le
puberty rite.

By ANN WHITCHER
n an erudite, occasionally rambling,
talk here last week, Jesuit scholar
Dr. Walter J . Ongdiscussed the centuries-long staying power of. oral
culture and tradition, especially in the
transfer ofknowledge. Only briefly did he
discuss the advertised "Contest, Sexuality and Consciousness, "partial title of his
1981 book on the role of biology in
human behavior.
·
Spoken tradition has been wit)l us
from the time of Socrates, who wrote
nothing, to the oral cultures of many
Third World nations today, said the 69year-old Unive~ity Professor of Humanities and professor of humanities in psy·
chiatry at St. Louis University.
The Middle Ages, be said, "were much
more oral than weare." He added : "They
never used :writing to test intellectual
achievement." During the Renaissance,
the emphasis was on "disputation," the
·notion that"you have to figbt with someone to get your thinking going." This, in
tum, was tied tp "the exchange of verbal
insults""and "aggressive riddles" of muclr
clataical· and medieval scholarship and
literature.
',
The use of Utin itself bad an aggressive quality dpring the Renaissance:
Now, Latin was mainly "*ecclesiastical"
assos:iations, said Ong. " But in Shakespeare's day you had to be functional in
~n to ullde&amp;tanCl various things,"
including law and medicine. Learning
Latin became a Renaissance "male puberty right ," sianifying entry to "the tribal
knowledge ofadult males." The Renaissance schoolroom also made use .of
"deliberately designed hardship." Indeed,
Renaissance iconoarapby often shows a
schoolmaster ready WJdl_his switch.

what oratory was, there was 09 script.'"
Compare that, Ong said, with the televised Kenned y-Nixorr debates of 1960;
the famous debators were limited to 2 ~
minUtes each for presentations and rebut·
tals. Also, during the Carter-Reagan
clash of 1980, "'the main :faux pas that
seemed to be cited, was that they (R-eagari
and Carter) seemed- ·n spots I() be
hostile.'"
Today, said Ong, ntost Americans
. .. have no idea of what oratory has been."
But in many'fhird World countries, rhetoric still plays a big part in internal politics. Some Third World leaders, such as
Cuba ·s Fidel Castro, only occasionally
. use a text when giving speeches. Between
the "very oral" Islamic cultures and our
"deeply written" one, lie many gradations, added .Ong. The Soviet Union, he
said, was "'an oral culture impacted by
literacy• before the 1917 revolution, and
is now ... less ostentatiously polemical ..
Another perspective on oral culture:
Of solD!' 3,000 languages still in UIC
today, only 128 have a literature, Ong
stated .
Ong spoke briefly on the biological settings of human and animal behavior. He

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

Pace 2

Continued from Pace 1

Yesterday: Class
of '32 holds reunion
Samuel P. Capen was in his tentH year
as chancellor of the University. UB had,
among other things, no Ha.rriman. Acheson. Farber or Diefendorf halls, and no
dorms. And. in 1932, 119 students
graduated.
Seventy of these 1932 graduates .came
back Wednesday, June 30, to celebrate
and reminisce at th~ir SO-year reunion.
sponsored by the 0 B. Alumni Association
in the Center for Tomorrow. at Amherst.
he 1932 graduates clearly remembered the Unive~ity- of Buffalo as it
was 50 years ago .
.. This is a different university, " insisted
f~'!f E; Kuhn, wbo r~ived his degre.;
10 economics .... Back then, aU we had was
Hayes, Crosby, Foster, a bookstore and a
little science building."
Before what is now the Main Street
Campus became ~iversity propeny.
Kuhn remembered. · was a poor farm .
People on welfare war ia.d there, growing
vegetables and things."
His wife. Ruth German uhn, noted
that there were no dorms. since the
majority of U B students were local. Any
} out-of-town students there were. she
explained. lived in houses near campus.
Mrs. Kuhn met her husband at UB
when she was a sophomore, and has good
memories oft he campus . ... It was a beautiful place. " sh'ecommented . "All the buildings were made out of stone and looked
alike." A graduate in English and library
science, Ruth Kuhn was the 1932 president of the Cap and Gown society. an
organization for outstanding students.
The Main Street Campus has changed
drastically in the ll!St 50 years.
"I couldn' find Foster Hall," complained Andrew J . Scums. a pharmacy
major. '"That's where we used to shoot
crap," he added nostalgically.

T

B Sch~ol of Medicine graduate Dr.
C. Edward Paui shook his head as he
talked about the cows. goats and wooden
sidewalks.
..There's certainly a tremendous difference," he sighed.
Many o( the 1932 alumni were amazed
and also dismayed at the monumental
increase in siz.e of the University. While
they recognized the academic growth of
UB, they felt that large classes decrease
the dose student-teacher rapport they
experienced.
.... hear you have classes with over 500
people." volunteered Louis B. Cooperman. a UB bachelor of ans. Cooperman
remembered a large class at Berkeley.

U

"There were at least 200 in the room . I
don) know how the hell anyone learned
anything. You'd have to take notes with
the speed of lightning."
Walter E. Bell. who recei ved a master
of education degree, explained that 50
years ago, .. aside from academic content.
it was like going from one high school
into another high school ...
Classes were small, Frank Kuhn
pointed out. and relationships between
students and teac~ers were personal.
Many alumni remembered nostalgically
professors they had had .
In 1932, Daniel H. Squire. after whom
Squire Hall was na"1ed, was dean ofUB's
School of Dentistry.
"He was ihe nicest guy," smiled Dr.
Marvin Goll, a dental schoo_l graduate.
"Do you want to shake the hand that
shook the hand of Squire?" Goll pointed
out that when he attended UB, the medical and dental schools were located not
on the Main Street Campus, but on High
Street downtown.
Ifred M. Ricuitti, a 1931 alumnus,
and Frank Kuhn both had fond
memories of Chancellor Samuel Capen.
..'He was a marvelous chancellor, .. said

A

Kuhn. " It was a freewheeling, freethinking, advanced university."
Ricuitti mixed his admiration for
Capen with pessimism about the University today.
"Capen was able to get the finest people in the nation to tCach here, .. he
asserted. "Hewasn' afraid of thinking."
Ricuiui believed that " Ketterpsychologically killed U B."
He missed Capen. "We need ,a lot of
thinking now," he warned . .. We're closer

to doom than any other generation. ..
Most 50-year graduates did not seem
to sbare Ricuitti's pessimism. Some
admired the Amherst Campus.
·"It's something that's been needed, and
it's serviceable," observed Helen Ehman
Dohl, who majored in classics and Latilt!
Keitb Hill Johnson, another 1932
alumna and a graduate in English and
Latin, was even more enthusiastic.
" It's very lovely, quite lovely, "she said.
All the alumni realized that to say the
University has changed since 1932 is an
understatement. Most, however, although they miss the University of
Samuel Capen and wooden sidewalks,
view changeS with an open mind.
~It 's definitely not the same," sighed
Louis Cooperman. "lt'schanged with the
times. For our times, iCs changed for the
worse. But for these kids today, perhaps
it's for the best."

pplications are up, admissions
are down, and quality continues to rise.
That's the picture for regular
freshman admissions to the University,
which were closed off in June due to the
high volume of applications and the cutbacks in the number of admissions
caused by the budget crunch.
The University received 13,390 freshman applications for Fall 1982, a three
per cent increase over last year. Regina
Toomey, associate director of ad missions, said tha t 9,115 admission offers
were made, a considerably smaller target
than last year. Of that number a bo ut 28
per cen,t we expected to enroll for an
overall go\lJ of 2,650 esular freshmen.
The only drop in applications has
occurred in the EOP program, which has
received 1,714, a. nine per cent decrease
from last year.
Overall freshman admisst s target is
2,800, which has been decrease'l!;from last
year's 3,000.

more familiar with each other.
Some of the other aspects of the program's effon to scale down UB are: a
slide-tape presentation that, according to
K.rakowiak, will show students they can
still feel comfortable and do well aeademically at a Jarseunivenity; and the chance
to meet and speak with faculty from the
six different areas of study to be included
in the new General Education program
which begins this fall . Each area bas iu
own room. The Jailer, Krakowiak·
explained, is just a new way of representing the old faculty resource room concept
where oM room boUICd information

T continues to rise, Toomey pointed
out. Admissions are based on three factors: high school average.cla~s rank a nd
SAT scores. This year, the m.e a n high
school average for applicants was 87,
compared to 86 last year; the mean for
accepted.applicants is 90 this year, and 89
for those who have so far paid their deposits, compared to 88 last year.
In class rank, the mean for applicants is
the 76th percentile, while the mean for
those a~pted is in the 85th percentile.
The most pronlineiit improvement is1n
SAT scores. This year's applicants averaged 484 in the verbal section and 548 in
math. Of those who have paid their deposits this year, the mean verbal score is
497, compared to486 for last year, and
569 for math, compared to 561 last year.
"The qualill' of the people who ap ply is

remarked.

high-&lt;lemand areas of engineering, health
sciences, natural sciences and math and
management.

dmissio ns and Records closed off
admitting freshmen to engineering in
February, having received 3,37 1 applications. Of these, I, 199 were admitted as
engineering majors, with another 684
admi tted to the University with the hope
of getting into the engineering programs
later.
Health Sciences in general received
I .533 freshman applications and
accepted 1.000. atural Sciences and
Mathematics arc also popular, particulaily computing, Toomey noted, with
2,499 applications; I.906 were accepted .
Management applications are still
high: 1,987 applicants : 1.164 were
accepted.
The only appliCations still being
accepted are for the EOP program.

targets early enough to halt the process
earlier, which allows us mQre time to process and prepare for students."'
The decrease in the enrollment objective is due to the budget situation, Durkin
explained.
"The upcom ing b'udget is a very difficult one," he remarked . .. It
prompts many SUNY institutions to real ize that they will not be rewarded for
over-enrolling. In fact, now they will be
punished. lt behooves every SUNY institution to be cautious and to consider
enrollments as Jimifs, rather than objecti ves. In the past. the extent to which
enrollment targets were passed was A
good thing. but we are not in a budg'ei
environment where we can continue with
that kind of thinking."

Since the found ing of Havana in IS I~ there
never before has been a conference between
- NorthAmericanand Cuban philosophers. To
· meet with them it was necessary to fly Arrow
AirleavingfromClark Air Baseonthe 14th of
May a nd ret urning on the 22nd of May.
When we arrived at Havana Airport we
were met by four members of the Foreign
Service Ministry of Cuba: two men and two
women. Mercedes Tito, a handso me young
woman who speaks idiomatic American
learned in New York. took on the major
burden of translat ion while the other three
were involved in arrangements and transpor~
tat.ion. Two of them a lso spoke. American.
They got our bags through customs and drove
w to the Habana iviera Hotel in a VW bus.
Our hotel. formerl the headquarters of the
Miami Mafia , was sp ·ousandcomfonable.
Our rooms overlooked e ocean and mine
also viewed the Olympic-st. poomtdcabana
founecn floors below.
Besides our conference whach began on the
16th of Ma)" at the fully air-condilioned
Cuban Con vention Center containing restaurants, shops and waterfalls, we kept up a bUsy
schedule of sightseeing. We spent a morning
in a cigar factory (founded 1854), had a
lengthy visit to a Pediatric-Gynecological
Center. spent a morning at the major Scientific Research Center as the guest of its director. Prof. Jua n B. Kouri Flores who also oversaw the Centro Nacional de lnvestjgaciones
Cientificas. went to the public beach in the
suburbs, had an evening with the Defense of
Cuba Citizens Patrol. visited the Universi1y
and its surrou nding book and record shops.
v.•ere guided through t·he Museum of the
Revolution containing the famous ship.
.. Granm&amp;... attended three banquets, and still
had some time for swimming and walks.
We were entertained at a ban.quet in a
seventeenth century vi lla by Prof. Dr. Wilfredo Torres lriba r, President oft he Academy
of Sciences, a biochemist. Pan of the entertainment was classical and modern guitar
music. We visited the Cuban .Folklorica
Dance Ensemble at the Mella Theatre after
another dinner, a nd had a farewell luncheon
at the Cuban Convention Center. with tables
abuting a pool of giant carp. We spent an
evening at the Educational Fair where young
people had set up dozens of exhibits of their
working and teaching techniques. The Fair
drew 150.000 the first five. days. Moving was
the unique Literacy Museum. where it was
recorded in movies. slides and exhibits, the
great social miracle by which Cuba moved up
from SO% to 97% literacy during the second
year after the Revolution of 1959. It was that
yea r that we first heard of Fidel, who
appeared on the Jack Paar Show. IOS.OOO
Cuban young people in 1960-61 engaged in
teaching everyone from six to ninety-six to
read and write. Hundreds of letters tortuously
written attest to those exciting moments. Two
thousand of these volunteers recently went to

its vast literacy drive. Alexander Haig referred

Na tional Convention Center. which is the
most modern facilit y of its kind in the Caribbean. I was able to compare Cuban developments and standards with what I had observed
in visits tO Barbados, Jamaica. Puerto Rico
and Trinidad . In our conference room were all
the facilities available at the United Nations in
miniature. We were provided.with four Minist ry of Foreign Affairs tran slators who busied
themselves taking turn·s translating English
into Spanish and Spanish into English. One of
them , a woman who had been brought up in
Brooklyn. had a voice very much like Mae
West's, which I found to be refreshing.
Our group consisted of philosophy professors from Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts a nd New York. Most of the C uban conference membe rs were from Ha va na

hoped that the Nonh American blockade

Cuba an attractive tourist spot. Today Cuba :

fi rmly belieye that they upheld the natural
profundity of philosophy.
We learned that Cu ba is slightly larger than
Pennsylva nia, that Havana is about the size of
Ph iladelphia, that Cuba has about as many
people as Greece or Sweden, that the life
expectancy of the Cuban men is the sarrie as
that of North American men - 69, and that of
the women 72.
The crime rate in the large cities a'nd countryside is low, especially since a large cont ingent of Cuban riffraff recentl y moved to
Miami. In addition , there are neighborhood
patrols throughout the cities which move
about in groups of six, and are madeupofmen

What happens in the first
year of life meaningless, he says
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
n yet another nature/ nurture argument, Harvard University psychologist Dr. Jerome Kagan told more
than 500 people gathered at the firSt
Wednesday Summer Forum that what
happens to 90 per cent of America's
infants during their first year of life has
no effect on their future.
While arguing against the predominant theory that environment is the cruM
cial factor in determining the development of the child, Kagan nevertheless
emphasized its importance. The purpose
of his speech, howe.ver, he said, was to
demonstrate that biology, which has been
ignored in current child development
theories, is a.n undeniably vital eleinent.
He said that as the brain matures, which
it does rapidly during. the first three to
four years of life, developing cognitive
competencies allows the display of new
behavior and emotions.
·
"Our modem view of the child began in
the 17th century-with scholars believing
that the environmental experience within
the family was the most important fac~or," Kagan said. Explaining why this
1dea became omnipotent, he pointed to
egalitarianism. Kagan said that because
the people ofthe time wanted everyone to
be equal, they tried to persuade themselves thatwhat happens to a child during
the first years of life molds the individual
adult. This denied the existence of genetics in order to perpetrate the philosophy
of equality, Kagan said.

I

coffing at this idea, Kagan relied on
statistics from his studies to show that
S
children have inherent potential forcertain cognitive competencies. He said
children around the .world display the
same certain characteristics at about the
same age. This is because children share
universal stages of brain maturation, tie
said . •
Separation anxiety, he said, occurs
within all babies at about the same age.
By three months, babies can recognize
faces. But they only begin to recall them
between the ages of8 and 12 months. A
six-month-old baby, who knows its
mo\her is nearby when it can see her, does
not remember her wben she leaves the
room. It is uncoocemed by hu absence.
But a 12-mollliM&gt;Id baby, who can
~member ill mother. c:annot deal emollooally willl bel" abeeace. Tberdo~ the
baby cries.
.
Self-a- allo oc:cun withiD all
~atalloattbe umeqe, Kapn said.

From studies with American and Guatemalan infants, and Vietnamese refugee
children settled in California, he concluded that oetween the ages of 17 and 19
months, the children displayed a sense of
morality. His conclu.sio ns are based
partly on experiments where new a.nd
broken toys were available in a playroom.
Toddlers between the ages of 17 and 19
months reacted to the broken toys wuh
faces showing dismay. Often they would
pick them up and utter "yukky'" or show
them to thi:ir mothers. Younger children
were oblivious to them .
n the second ,rea r of life, Kagan said ,
another phenomenon occurs. When
toddlers realize they cannot imitate an
action, they sense they have failed to fulfill an obligation. Realizing their inability, they demonstrate anxiety.
At the age of two, children also demonstrate a se nse of empathy, Kagan said.
.. These qual ities are inherent in our

I

Catholics United for the Nith ..· or that Mrs.
Chris1ensen is .._ 39-year-old widow with two
children." It is also not re.lr\•ant that Mrs.
Christensen -has )ectured within the Catholic
Church on human sextlalil y for the past 14
years- and that she has held positions with the

Diocese.
In logic, the above is the fallacy of making a
circumstantial od humint&gt;m argument . Neither
Mrs. Christensen's nor my professio nal
acti\!ities or personal situation bears on the issur
at hand. which is whether a person who docs not
su ppOrt CathoJic leaching shou ld be lecturing
for the Church.
Similarly. Mrs. Christensen'!~ views cannot
gain legitimacy because Fr. M ad~n and ot her
Diocesan officials support her and praise hrr
work.
The on ly authority to consu lt when
determining what the Catholic Church teaches is
the Magisterium - the Pope and the bishops in
union with the Pope. The Magisterium\
teaching on contraception . abortion. and sexual
morality is very dear.
The: Papal c:nC)'clicals CDSli Conl1uhii(f930)
and Humone Vitae (1968) reaffirmed t he
Chu(Ch's t raditional teaching that -contraception is immoral in all cases. Pope John Paul II
has repeatedly emphasi7ed this. The Church has
always taughtlhat abortion is a grave morale\'il.
(Sec: MD«Iaration on Procured AbonionM
issued by the: Sacred Congregation .for the
Doct rinr of the Faith.) Furthermore. Canon
23SO of the prescn1 Code of Canon Law decrees
that those who ha\'C any pan in the successful
procurement or abortion are automatically
excommunicated .

The ~xuality Education Center. whose work
Mrs. Chris1ensen is responsible for sin(% s he:
heads it. makes abortion referrals and dispenses
contracc:pti\~s .

The views Mr!.. Christensen stated in her
April 1981 debate at UB and ifl the recent
N,-ws a nd the
articles in the Buffolu
Rt'portt'r were clearly not in confomlity with the:
Church's teachings on sexual morality.

Th~ are the things that make: a man impure .~
{Mallhew. 15: 19.20.)
Further. I must cmphasi;re that our group hns
not said an)1 hing about how Mr~o. Christensen
s hould be conducting her counselling job. as she
alleges in the t.jUOtc: above. Our point is that she
s houkt not be: lecturing on sexual morality at

Piaget, Kagan said, pointed out that
between 5 and 10 years of age, children
are aware of rank order. They are capable
of comparison. And when children com~
pare themselves to another's beauty,
antelligence, talents, etc., they increase /
decrease their own selfMvalue.
Biology prepares them to be able to
compare themselves to others, Kagan
said, but environment gives them the
opportunity to set someone else along~
side themselves for comparison.
agan pointed out that the majority of
people listed in Who:. Who grew up
in small towns. Why? he questioned rhetorically. Because these children were
able to compare themselves to others and

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

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

s the economy remains depressed and the
financial constraints on a region increase,
dustries as well as universities are looking for
etter .ways of utilizing their resources. A
edntly formed association between UB and a
ocal high technology firm illustrates one type
f mutually beneficial arrangement : the firm
gains high quality research and development capabilities ,
while faculty can apply their skills on an industrial level.

The University has pro vid ~d val ua ble
techn ical assistance to the E-l Prod ucts
Company of East A~ro ra, N.Y ., that
allowed the company to answer a se ries of
critical research and development questions. According to senior development
engineer Daniel Krause, the small com-

and C. V. Clemency in th e Geology
Department, where testing o n t he product could be done using a high resol ution electron microscope, since the area
of interest to E-L Products was only about
a IOOOth of a n inch in size . According to
Fountain, a series of microphotographs

pany, which specializes in the manufac-

ta.k.en of lh-:.J?r-odut:t... aS we\\ at. tbe&lt;;K-ray-

turing ol "electroluminescent" materials,
was caught in a situation in which it could
not afford the R&amp;D facilities needed to perform the type of tests they were required
to do on their product.
... The situation is that we are 50 people
working on an exotic and highlytechnical product with only a very small
laboratory facility," Krause explains.
"When we needed to find out if our product was being manufactured in the most
effective and efficient way possible, we
didn't have the resources to do it. That's
when I decided to pursue an offer made
by the University to help local business
with high te&lt;:hnology development."
The offer that Krause alluded-to was
made by Dr. Duwayne Anderson, dean
of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics here, at a meeting of Western New YOrk scientists and engineers at
UB last semester.

defraCtJOn ex pefirrlerits· performed bY
Clemency, were able to reveal much of
t he information needed by E-L Products.
.. We fo und that the product was composed of eve n layers and that the only
voids found in it were ones that we fiad
created in our sample preparation of the
product. The x-ra)' defract io n of the raw
materials used m the product also
revealed a fa irly high degree of purity.
Their lamps appear to be an excellent
product,·· Fountain confirmed.

raUse explains that his company's
product, a thin, white plastic sheet
that glows to fairly high values of
luminescence when hooked up to electricity, is being used as the ... faceplate"" covering instruments incomme~al and military
aircraft. These sheets, or ... lamps,"" emit a
green light that is especially useful for night
flying missions wh.cn pilots are wearing
sensitive night goggles whose performance is diJ1linished by extra light i_n the
cockpit. Acco rding to Krause. one of the
theories on wby the Iran rescue mission
failed was that the pilots' night goggles
were obstructed by too much light in the
cockpit. He noted that those aircraft were
not fitted with the ljimps.
To be sure that the lamps would work
a\ the efficiency required by his military
customers, Kraus&gt; adds. some very
so phisticated test ing was needed to
observe how the .. three extremely thin
layers" of the product · were holding
together.
"Because the performance of the lamps
depends on how well the layers are put
together during our manufacturing process, it was very important for us to find
out if there were any impurities and voidi
(gaps) introduced into the layers. This is
whe.e the University was able to really
help as and atnswer our qu~tions." ht

Krause wu referred to John Fountain·

he working relationship that has
developed between E-L Products and
the University has now spread to the
Chemistry Department. Parris Prasad,
assoc iate professor, is currently running
spectrum analysis tests on the light emit·
ted by the lamps beca use. according to
Krause, there appears to be a slight emission(a bout 1%) from the infra-red part of

the spectrum. which could detract froryt
the lamps' efficiency. Although nothing
concrete has been determined about the
infra·red emission problem yet - Prasad
noted that this a.rea of- the spectrum is
very ha·rd to invesfigate - Prasad was
-q uick to point out that the testing he can
do and the cauioment he is using in the
Department would be '''Very expensive to
a small com.pan¥ lik.,. E-L."
WbiJe this scenatio demonitrates that
tech01cal assisiance from the University
can be invaluable to a small, local company, Geology Chainnan lk Chester
Langway - who is formally dire&lt;:ting the
work with the E-L Products- feels that the
University's technical expertise,. has been
relatively untapped by the local business

m Performances are at 8:00
Tuesday through Sunday,
~b July 18, in Delaware Park
l •the Rose Garden.
:tor Saul Elkin and Music Director Ray
:lee have transplanted Shakespeare's
the stormy love affair between Kate and
io from Renaissance Ita ly to contemtaly. The action of the play, adds Elkin.
tted somewhere bet ween th e worlds of
er.tm uller and Federico Fellini . ••
for exa mple, Petruchio becomes a mod.an playboy in the grand style of cine•ilaftderers played by Marcello Mastroi·
etruchio is a .. race car driver" type.
ewith white driver's sui t and sunglasses.
ant, the great comic character Grumio.
e such items as his master's Gucci bags.

Elkin is also introducing a .. contemP-orary
version of a Greek chorus... This za ny ensemble
will interrupt with both song and speech, commenting on love, co un ship, marriage and sexuality. The pla y will also feature an original musical score by Ray Leslee, the New York-based
composer and UB alumnus. His past Shakespeare in Delaware Park sco res have ranged from
the rock musical ve rsio n of Hamlet ( 1977) to the
baroq ue blend of oboe, piano and tuba for the
The Merry Wives of Windsorii918) . Leslee's
score for Taming inc1 udes everything from a
Tarantella to punk rock and Italian opera.
Elkin has some other ideas about Shakespeare's play which he's incorporating in the Delawa re Park production. Long controversial.
Elkin adm its, is Shakespeare's apparent nod to
female subservience at the end of th e play, when
Kate gives a long speech in favor of firm wifely
obedience. But Elkin did some research , and
found co mme ntators who saw Kate as neither
excessively docile nor particularly coy. He was
especially impressed by Germaine Greer's view
of th e fam·o us scene. as described in her 1970
book. The Female Eunuch:
" H e (Petruchio) wants her spirit and her
energy because he wants a wife worth
keeping .. . Kate'u :peech at the close of the pla y
is the greatest defense of Ch ri stian monogam y
ever written."

Add s Elkin: .. The notion of a man 'taming' a
woman, in an age of feminist consciousness. ma y
have very little appeal. But the pla y is also a
subtle account of two intelligent. energetic and
robust people who find each other and a way of
being togeth er."
. Elkin will leave th e Kate- Petruchio dialogue
mtact. But he has altered the sub-plot involvi!1g
Kate 's sister, Bianca. and her va rious suitors.
Cast members include Evan Parry as Petruchio, Chris Dunford as Kate. Sandie Burr as
Bianca and Donald Gran as Baptista. Parry is a
lecturer in the Theatre and Dance Depanment
and a Shakespeare in the Park veteran. Dunford. a UB undergraduate theatre niajor. played
the icily sa rcastic Nurse in the February producti on here of Edward Albee's The Death of Bessi~
Smith. Burr, also an undergraduate theatre

Sir G~st av also predicted that treatment for two common autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis, may be on the horizo n.
It has been fpund that 80 to 90 percent
of insulin--d'ependent diabetics tested at
the time .of diagno~is but ·before insulin
had been administered create auto·a ntibodies which destroy 1heir own pancreas
&lt;;ells which produce insulin.
.
.. Later, th~ ·autoantibodies disappear, suggesting the possibility that (pan- c~tic) islet cells selected from an
appropriate donor could be transplanted
_ into the diabetic's peritoneal cavity where
!h~y would grow and reproduce, making
tn~atin therapy obsolete."
·
In tbtatea of multiple sclerosis, there is

still debate whether this degerterative·disease which strikes the nervous system is
caused-primarily..by an unidentified virus
or by an inappropriate immune response.
Study may provide answers. Whi le th e
study is designed to test the efficacy of
both treatments. it may also provide
more evidence as to which theory is
· correct .
.. Science is mak ing fai rl y rapid strid es

insight as to possible prevention and

"Every few - minutes, as we
talked that hour, the elderly gentleman glanced at his watch. His
wife was asleep in their bedroom
as we sat at their kitchen table. His
wife, a hospice client of mine, was
dying of C!Jncer. At 5:15p.m., 1
rose .to say goodbye. Hesitantly,
he explained he and his wife
always drank a whiskey together
at halfpast five and then he asked
me to wait but fifteen minutes to

/sat.._,
ince January 1980, Kent Tigges,
a U I 8 associate professor of
occupational therapy, has been
the resident OT consultant for
Buffalo. Hospice has changed
dramaticall y his beliefs about his
profession.
Six years ago. Tigges and his wife traveled to England to see the theatrical
production of Agatha Chris tie's novel.
.. Mousetrap ... Carol Tigges. a geriatric
. nurse . . suggested they tour St. Christopher's Hospice in London.
St. Christopher's is the birthsite of the
hospice concept, which embodies th e
thought that death sh'ould be met with
dignity.
As he walked through the building and
saw the dying. Tigges says his education
cried oulfor the ma·c hines and miracles of
modern medicine, but his humanitarian-

ism agreed that the inevitable should be
honored.
"That one day challenged my beliefs _It
influenced me greatly ... the 44-year-old
Tigges says,
Occupational therapy education and
practice in the United States focus on
treatment and rehabilitation with the aim
of returning the injured or disabled to the
mainstream of living. Against this philosophy, Tigges, who received his mastc:r's·
in occupational therapy from San Jose:
State College in 1964. struggled as he
contemplated his profession and the hospice concept.
He wu asked to help Hospice Buffolo
When the Tigges came home. a CourierExprtSJ feporter chronicled their experiences. Because of the newspaper article,
Charlotte Shedd, who founded Hospice
Buffalo. uked Tigges to volunteer.
Knowing of no other occupational
therapist working in an American hospice. Tigges decided to return to England

"Before he died." T igges says, .. , had
him out of his hou se." Upon Tigges' suggestion to go outside during th e darkness
of night. he grilled dinner for his family.
washed and waxed hi s favorite car. a nd
went driving.
.. Occupatjonal thera py is' a bout rea li zing that a person 's in tegrity. equalit y.
purpose. self-esteem, mas tery and adaptation, rest in his a bility to be purposefull y engaged in regular a nd fa milia r life
experiences. whet her he has cancer or any
other pro blem .... Occupationalthc!rapy
can provide the mechanism in facilitatirig
a person's se nse of mystery and competence and in putting substa nce: into qual ity of living." Tigges wrote in the
December 1981 iss ue of The British
Jo urnal d/ Occupa tional Therapy.

0 T helps hospice clients
retain integrity and purpose
in the summer of 1980 to stud y with Eric
Wilkes, one ofttie noted developers of the:
hospice concept an d the resident occupational therapist a t St. Luke's Hospice: in
Sheffield . After working with Wilkes for
two months. he tra nsferred to Cynthia
Spencer House. a hos pital-affiliated hospice:, for four mo nths.
Tigges. who wanted to identify the role
of an occupational therapist working
with tcrmina\\y-m patients in hospitals.
at home, and through out-patient centers. recalls one day he watched Wilkes sit
down on a patient's bed and say the
Lord's Prayer for her.
.. In our professio n. we are taught not to
get involved with a patient because: ~~
interferes with our objectivity, .. he says.
.. That's okay. But not in a hospice.
Patients are always asking; ' Why me?' ..
Recently, he says. a client queried him ,
..I'm going to die. aren't l?"
.. In the hospital , you avoid that question. Now 1 swallow twice and give an
honest answer.

.. There is an intellectual intimidation in
our education," Tigges sa ys. "We a re
taught to have ho pe for the future: and
that we c.an overcome our difficulties. In
a hospice. though . our whole measure of.
success must be reconstituted. ' Were their
last mo nth s happ y a nd productive o nes?'
'Did the pat ient die well?' is how we must
think. "
Challenca to tradition
Prac ticing occupati o nal therapy with
hos pice clients prese nts numerous cha llc:ngc:s to tradition.
Tigges never sa w o ne of hi s hos pice
clients. He co unseled him by telephone.
.. I wanted to sho W him I respected his

privacy," Tigges ex plains. Cancer had
deformed the man's face. Cancer had
eroded his self-esteem. He had not only
retreated into his house. but withdrawn
from his family.
Tigges wanted to help hi'm reconsider
his role as a husband and father and
regain some independence.

AQ&gt;ong the notables honored were Dr.
Michllel Heidelberger. who with his coinvestigator Dr. Forest Kendall deter-'
~ned that antibodies are protein. and
Str ~ustay Nossal. ~he immunologist
who •den!lfied a speaal white cell that
makes antibody. Antibodies are created
by the body to fight foreign substances
such as viruses, bacteria and other invaders which can cause disease.
Delivering an Ernest Witebsky Memorial lecture at The Witebsky Center.!or
ImmunoJogy's 8th international convocationai the Marriotti011June 14-17 Sir

influenced by the late UB researcher and
internationally-known immunologist.

A program in terminal care!
Tigges hopes his department will establish a program to teach occupatio nal
therapy and termin a l ca re. It would be
the first in the United States. The, program. however. mu st remain on ly an idea
for now. Tigges says Hospice Buffalo
promotes th e idea. but it can't help train
student s at thi s time. The small professio nal staff - on call 24 hours a da y th ough augmented by more than 100
vo lunteers. ca n accept only 10-1 6 cancer
patients, who recei ve care at home.
But . says Tigges. wh o in 1972 was
appointed a professio nal advisor to the
World Federation of Occupational Therapists, since he knows of no other OT
practicing in an America n hospice, he
would be the logical professio2alto teach
such a program. And OT Chair Phillip
Shannon sha res his philosophical belief
in occupational behav1or. an approach to
the practice of occupa ti o nal therapy that
goes beyond the biomedical paradigm to
include the biosocial. The biomedical
paradigm focuses on the: internal system
of the: bod y; it is concerned with the disease process and symptom reduction.
The biosof'ial paradigm concentrates on
the relationship of the person to the
environment; it ernR_hasizes health
requirements and skills development.
If Uf B's Department of Occupational
Therapy does indeed establish a program
in terminal care. Tigges will undoubtedly
illustrate his lectures with personal anec-.
dotes .. _like the one about drinking with
a client's lonely husband and the one
about accompanying a client's grieving
father to the morgue.

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

Dr. Cudkowicz dies inN ew York

prominent U/ 8 resea rcher and
fac ult y member in the
Departments of Pathology
and Microbiology for 13 years. died May
25 at New York's Mount Sinai Medical
t:enter after a brief illness. He was 54.
Dr. Cudkowicz's inajor contribution
to research and medicine was his determination that small doses of bone marrow transplants in mice and other mammalian species fail even after heavy total
body irradiat ion of pro s pective
recipients.
His research showed that both the
genetics and immunobiology of th is re~
sistance against hemopoietic transplants
differed markedly from the genetics and
immunobiology of solid tissue transpla~ts such as skin , kidne y and .
carcinomas.

Observation was Validated
While this unexpected observation
initially met much resistance from th e
research commun-4_y. it now is well
accepted and led " ' Dr. Qldk owicz's
r~cciving the Marie T:'Bonaziriga Award
from the Reticuloendothelial Society.
His most current research concerned the
relationship between va rious natural resistance phenomena and immunological
reactivity against self-major histocorppatibility antigens.
Born in Zurich. Dr. Cudkowiczgraduated in medicine summa cum laude in
1~ 2 from the Univeroit y of Mila n. He
did post-graduate work at Milan and
Uppsala (Sweden). Later, he was in the
Depanment of Experimental Pathology
at the State Universit y of Milan and the
Milan ational Cancer Institute.

1982 provides a very biased view oft he Uni\•er~
lity Librarit~ and may mislead the Uniw:nity
community: Asa fac:ult y memberofthe U n i ver~
sity Lib~rit~. I feel tha t I must respond.
An evaluation of a ny o rga_niz.ation s hould ~
prima rily based on its missio n and performa nce.
I a m sur'prised that the review presented by t he
Facul\y Senate Committee on lnf mat io n a nd
Library Resources (ILR1 did not mentio n a si ngle word about the libra ry sc:_rvices pttfonned by
the Univen-ity Li br~~ries t osuppon the acadeniic
units a t this Uni versity. This l hould be the major
c:onc:em of the faculties a nd the basil fo r the
review. Howevc.r, tbe report coven only random
items ofintemaJ administration based on partial
sources. II is unfair to ttk University libraries
and itl. staff who work so diligently t O serve the
UniversitY community. We are now operating
with a staff even smaller than tha t of 1974 but
our workloadl in many areas have doub~ or
tripled since then. We .have tried to do u much
u wt: can and many service performances now
rank on top in the nation. I am proud that the
libra,.Ystaff, working closely with the library
a4min~ration , has been able to maintain lUCh a
high level of _performance under very diffte:uh
budact situations.
With reprd to library administration. I
would like to state that in my twenty yea,_· of
t»rofessio.nal experience workina in four maj~(
uniYCTSitics wit~ over a do"ttn library directors. I.
have never sem a.more efficient. well orpnittd
library •dmiuistration than we have now. The
University is quilt fortunate that the Univenity
libraries undcf the prcsc:nl administration has
overcome numcro•n difracuhies thereby ensurinathe preservation of the present level of xrvi·
ccs to the faeuhy a"nd sludeats. I~ 'is true that

panic ularlyl n regard to personnt:l ma nen: but
this should not be the on ly item used to review
a n e nt ire orga nization as reponed in your ani ~
cle. A fair report s hould cover all sides. Btfore
preparing this res ponse. I called t he Universit y
Libraries adminillrat ion t o ask them if the
Facu lt y Se na te II.R Commiuee had inq uired
about t he situa tion involved . The answer was
no. The report is apparently biased.
I wo uld also like to raise the issue of whether it
is a ppro priate for t he Faculty Senate ILR
Commiuee to re,,ie.w the administration of the
Univer$ity Libraries. Within the sta te University
o rga nir.ation. the University Libraries is ·a
separate faculty as ari 1he faculties of the School
of Medicine and the School of Dentistry. Librariaru are faculty members. How can the Facuhy
Senate I LR Committee appoint a Subco.mmit·
tee composed of non~libra ry faculty members tO
conduCian tvaluation of the faculty of the Uni~
versity Libraries and frttly make iu views pub-lic? As a member of the University Libraries
faculty. could 1 be appointed by the Faculty
Senate to evaluate the Dean's Office of the
School of Medicine or the School of Dc:nlistry? t
feel that it iltimc that such unfair ti'Citment of
abe University Libraries be com:ctcd. The
Faculty Seoate ILR Committee seems 10 have
cone too far and hu shown alack of respect for
their coUeagucs. As worded in your repon , I
have my "'Criticilms"' .and. "'Diualisfactiolll"'

N o o ne can deny the importance the

cinema has enj oyed in twentiethcentury American culture. Fasci nated by
the movie industry and popular culture.
UI B history professor Milton Plesur is
researching a book about the great movie
stars and directors of the 1920's and 30's
and their opinions of.the film industry. In

a search which has taken him afl over
North America, Plesur has conducted

almost two hundred interviews with
retired moviemakers.
Plesur believes that oral researc~s_/
much tq offer in addition to r htten
research.

"Certainly me 1iistorian "Of popular

B elieving
in gaps left by more sensationalized,

nostalgia-oriented worl&lt;s commonly
written about Hollywood, Plesur
determined to move away from what he
termed the ~gee whiz~ approach to movie
stan.
"Mosi of the interviewees come across
as authentic people in a very taxing
profession malr.ing their living pragmatically in the real world," he S!Jltcs.
"They are vintage perwnages from an
earlier time who have endured in
America\ memory for several generatioos, and their narratives help place the
story of the KoUywood phenomenon in
prow perspective.~ ·
Not surprisin&amp;ly, the professor's
lindinga support the theory that in its
he)'dey HoUywood was. bdo~ anything
elle. a business.

•Art there was;"" Plesur admits, "'but

mo viemaking was primarily· dominated
by the dollar nexus."
Comedian George
Bums, for elCBmple,
insisted that entenainers have only two goals
- pleasing the audience and making money.
Screen writer . Anita
Loos, far from viewing
her profession as 'art,
thought of jt only as a
job.
And Fred Astaire,
whom Plesurdescribes
as "one of the truly

authentic .. legends in
his own lifetime, ..
found it impossi ble to
understand why his

work had auracfed so
much attention.

Romero. Romero told
Plesur that today's

American ytlues he
felt were represented
in; the oJd cowboy a nd

Iridian movies were
unhappily absent in
today's films.
Faced with statements such as .these,
one wonders if the
movie industry reflects

or influences society.
... On certain areas
such as fashion, movies

explains. He
that politics are

movies .reflect.
Plesur observed that

movies today are not
o.r worse than
films but "deal

that

"while

movies are sick because
actors have to ~ke
off their clothes."
Western . star "Red"
Barry ("Red Ryder")
stated that the upright

bilities scriously

sure of ehtertairting and glittering

The professor
• • • • • • • • found his interviewees to be, on the whole ...cordia1

open and comfortable." He feels that
such scholarly research in!o the' profes-

sional opinions of movie-makers has
been lacking in the past.
"These personalities had lonz been
accorded adulation," be observes. "but

serious auention from academicians is
unique."
Pl.Sur speculates that part of bis
success in these interviews might be due
to the fact that hi: is neither a journalist
nor a

t,alk~bow

host. The topics stars _

have been aslr.ed about in the past. be

notes, are not unim"portant, but arc not
the most significant tl!ings.

"I was
n its prime." he ....ens. "Hollywood
a place of feverish activity, and

most of that fervor · prollably went
unrecorded."
His researdl. be believes. bas disclosed

researcben have missed. Much of ihe
that had to do - -value lies in tbe itttervieWI theiiiJClves:

--inmWwed. "they wete where the action

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

This past year's success, said project
director and College H masteJ&gt; Dr. Lee
Dryden, has persuaded the Gebbie
Foundation to grant another $5,000 to
fUnd a summer sign languagetnterpreting
workshop.
_
' Kathy Fries, coordinator oft he Special
School of the Future at St. Mllry's, said
the impetus for. the program was the
application to \JB by several deaf students who could~dno inte'rpreters.
Because of Sectio 504 of the Rehabiliwion Act of 1973, an 'l'gen.,..or organization that receives fed~ral funds must
make all services available to everyone.
Bertha Cutcher, then coordinator of services for the handicapped at UB, realized
there were insufficient interpreters for
deaf students wanting to study here.
Fries said there are 7,500 people in Erie
County who are profoundly· deaf and .
another ~.400 who have impaired hearing. Only 25 interpretersare available.
Buffalo-needs interpreters fo,!; the deaf,
Fries said . adding that an interpreter
earns S7.50 an hour here. The national
average is S20 · for a _ two-hour
commitment.
The closest institution that offers
interpreting training is in Rochester at
the National Technical Instit ute for the
Deaf a t Rochester In stitu te of
Technology.
The idea of the program, Fries said.
was to introduce students · to sign language 1:0 inte"'"rest some to pursue interpreting as a profession. She c;.xplained •
that a federal law passed in 1977, ~The
Education of All Handicapped Children

Fint.contraryto what has been implied in the
press and elsewhere. the Vice President's
rttommendations in reiard to the Communica·
tio'n Department. did not invoi\'C consultation
with the Department. We were notified of the
Vice President's recommendations afler the:
recommendations had been formed . In fact. in
rccosnition of the University\ budsetary prob-lems, the Dc-~rtmcnt had earlier submitted to
ths: Vice Prafdeni a propoul for meeting the
Dcpanmenl's resource needs. The Vice Presi·
dent did not rc'spond to that proposal and,
apparently. it played no role in his consideta·
tions. Since we were not consulted during the
formati\"l~ stages. we have been fo rced into an
ad\"ersary role.
·
Conclusions arc dnwn
From con\•ersations with the Vice President in
March we concluded that the Vice President had
decided that. although dm1ond for the Com·
munication program iii hi~h . he had doubts
about the quolit.1· and t"t'mrolity of the prOJtram.
I) Ormond: Unqu~tionably the demand for
academic inn ruction in Communicatlon is high

Anct be was critiCal of President
Reagan's refusal, so far, to discuss such a
weal'ons freeze pact with the Soviets. Tile
president bas claimed the Soviets are
outstripping..this country in nuclear
weapons produ~on, and that no freeze
should be effected until a "balance" is
reached between U.S. and Soviet
weapons levels.
..Balance is an illusory concept. when
each side can destroy the other many
times over, " be said. "Balance is actually
the langua ge o f those who want to go up,
rather than those who ·want to come
down ."'
Given the multitude of geographic and
other inequalities, he pointed out,
"there's no actual balance in these
things." And consid~ring Britis h, Fn;ncb, .
and American nuclear weapons in
Europe, including four Poseidon
su bmarines stationed l there, he said,
..Th~re is so m4ch in excess of any
poss1ble deterrence, that we could all

that "in a world .offtfty thousand nuclear
weapons , nobody · can be safer by
building any more," he sa.fd. "There can be no justification . . . ·
whatsoever for the use of weapons which
are totally indiscriminate, or for
intending to use such weapons, " the
Monsignor said at St. _Joseph's . Yet, he
observed, the policy of nuclear deterrence
hall been built upon just that intention.
"The Geneva talks filled me with rage ,"
he went on, turn'ing to the Strategic Arms
Limita tion Ta lks. Europeans and other
p o~e ntial victims in any nuclear war ..are
not parties to the Geneva talks, which are
co nducted behind c1 &amp;sed doors . . .
between hawkish representatives of the
United· States of America and semiha wkish represe ntatives of the U.S.S.R .,"
he explained. "We have no information
about what is happening. "
He added that the U.N. Special Session
on Disarmament, slated for June in New
York City, ,&gt;hould demand that arms
negotiations be open, ·and that ..possible
victims ,--;-- i.e., the human .race _.:_ be
present .
.
At the time of the Special Session,
President Reagan plans to travel to
England for a "visit to NATO," rather
than panicipate in the session, reported
the monsignor ... And that is such a mark
of contempt for what is happening in the
disarmament world," ne charged.
Wbat can you do?
Asked what the average citizen can do
abot.it the arms race, MoD.signor Kent
suggested getting involved_in one of the
peace organizations, such ai the Nuclear
Freeze Campaign. People working in
war-n:lated industries, be said, should
coi:tsider using their sklJ.ls elsewhere, as
well as getting their trade uniofls to stan
considering alternatives.
He drew optimism from t!te ·example
be finds in historical' struggles against
racial slavery and the oppression· of
women.

appalling," he said, "that if we are

E~forcing human rights: hu~iliation or diplomacy?

"T"

here are no guarantees foihuman rights anywhere," Dr.
Yassin lii-Ayouty, chief of the
Africa Division in the U.N.
Department of Political Affai..., told a
campus conference on "'lntcmational
Human Rights: Dilem.mas of Liberty.and
Development in Africa, "held on May7.,1!.
The conference, which attracted over
two dozen leading authorities on human
rights issues and African affairs, was
coordinated by UB political scientists
Claude Welch and Ronald Meltur.
Funding was provided by a$10,000 grant
from the National Endowment for the
Humanities and by the SUNY Conversations in the Disciplines Program, among
othel'$.
Notwitlistal\ding the force of such
documents 'aS the -Universal Declaration
of HufTI/ln Rights, the road. to human
rights in Africa remains troubled and
unclear, said the 54-year-old EI-Ayouty,a
veteran of 24 yea" .of U.N. service.
For on.,. thing, said the diplomat, even
"the right to self·determination, '
generally considered a basic human ri&amp;ht,
is itself ambigl!oQS. Is 'one speaking of a
"people's" collectille rights, or the rights
of the individual? Even when the term is
defined, how )'niversally applicable" is
it? he asked.
_
The U.N. official pointed to the current
struggle between Great Britain and
Argentina for control of the Falklands.
Britain's U.N. ambassador, said ElAyouty, has cited the Falkland lslandel'$'
" right to self~determinti "on , " But
Argentina has cll)imed her "state's right"
to sovereignty over the islands.
Beyond the question of self-&lt;leterminalion, other problems remain for' Africa,
EI-Ayouty continued. Both "black
majority rights in the apartheid lands of
South Africa,.., and " minority rights of
non-blacks · in independent African
states" must be ensured. Without
interaction of its racial groups, he
warned, Africa could lOse "an effective
base for speedy modernization." In addition, Africa's "horrendous .. refugec problem rrfust be faced. "It is now internationally estimated that ooe out of every
five Americans is a refugee. "The rights of
tlie refugees - toeither~ttlem~nt after
proper traiiting or repatnauon if desired
- must be ecknowledged, El-Ayouty
continued. The J"rade u.n ion is also
important to ensuring human rights in
Africa, said tue ' Egyptian-born U.N.
official and scholar. "For a basically unarined population like the South African
blacks, tbt-only viable instrument for the'
restoration of their basic rights and
freed oms is union power."
The rights of African children most
also be guaranteed, said EI-Ayouty. He
cited a recent U.N. resolution in which
France and Zaire exPressed concern at
"the proliferation of conflicts" between
spouses of different nationalities, and

EI-Ayouty cited o~r impediments to
achieving human ri_ghts on the African
continent: the lack of a "regio!llll human
rights commission" and the lack of
African 'university training in human
. rights issues.
':
During a question-and-answer period,
El-Ayouty said that "!be area ofbuman
rights is vast, camp e~ and mUlti-~
faceted;" that Britain '!'argument over the
rights of the Falkland lslande" (a "Third
World argwilent" now used by ·an excolonial power, he noted) "probably bas
more validity" than the Argentine call for
state sovereignty; and that the thurch
can use "moral persuasion .. in furthering
human rights in Africa . .. No amouQt of
U.N. broadcasting or pamphleteering
can match the poweroftbewbisperofthe
Church," said EI-Ayouty, the author of
three major boo~ s on Africa and of
numerous journal anicles.

Rights aren' only concern
FolRS'"wing El-Ayouty's prese'nta tion .
rry Williamso n, director of the Office
of Inter-American Affairs in the U.S.
Depanment of State, said human right s
cannot be the only concern of the U.S.
government. However, the notion that all
human beings have the right to political
and social freedom and the right not to be
. tenured or incarcerated without cause is
advanced through American embassies
in Africa. he said.

model which defines a drinkins-drivin~
offense in terms of a prescribed bloodalcohol eonc:enuatioll. Tbe Scandinavian type laws are "firmly embedded" in
the U.s . Uniform Vehicle Code and. in
varying dqrees. ia the tnffie laws or the
SO states. the author notes.
In aU countries stadicd. Ross-reports
that drinkina-&lt;lrivina leaislation is
lltlllerCnt by poor en£~. He cites

· Deterrence ma y work
But , he adds, .. Deterrence may in sorn e
circ umsta nces be a feas ible and cost·
effecti ve legal policy."
Aspects of a promising deterrence program include:
·
ProbabiUty of apprehension: " Perhaps
the most promising innovation on the
U.S. scene would be to introduce some
convincing threat of probable apprehen·
sio n for the driver who believes (usually
, correctly) that he can drink and drive
without giving cause for poJice to suspect
him of the violation. -Roadblock testing
may be a means of accomplishing this, if
the .roadblocks a ppear to be frequellJ .
These would probably be constitutional
if performed on the basis of checks of
pa per or ve hicles, as in Canada and Norwa y, during which the odor of alcoholic
beverages would j ustify a s~rce ni ng test
fpr blood alcohol. Another model is furnished by the British legislation, which
makes the occurrence of a traffic violation or crash the equivalent of reasonable
cause fo r a police officer to suspect the
presence of alcohol and to demand a n
appropriate screening test."
Severity of penalty: "Existing levels of
severity should not be increased .... The
mere retraction of the driver's·license for
a Tew weeks might be a noticea ble and
pres umably effective threat . in an
automobile-dependent society. RecoUrse
to beavyfinesand mandatory jall sentences seems lilcel~ to encourage deformations in the leg3.1 system, such as police
leniency or eve n corruption, plea bargaining. and increased lindinss of not
guilty." '
.
Swiftness or adminlsterina penalty:
"One way in which punishment could be
made to follow more closely upon the
violation would be to abandon the criminal-definition of drinking and driving, at
least in routine cases and for first ·
offenses, making it a civil offense to be
h'andled with dispatch by an administrative organizatio,n ...
Ross conclUdes that there are ways beyond 1 deterrence - to reduce the
• deaths and injuries to people involved in
alcohol-related crashes. These include
effective ways to protect all people in all
kinds of motor vehicle craslies.
"A vehicle 'and highw!ly that are safe
for an alcohol-influenced driver are also
safe for a driver who bas a heart attack,
who dozes off. who droP." his lishtcd
ciga.r ette on his lap, who fails to sec: a.stop

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

.
.
He believes he can offer an Often badlyneeded service to patients facing chronic
or terminal illnesses while also educating
physicians who fail to recognize the
emotional problems faced by these
patients.
.. Ma ny physicians who a re technically
excellent fail to really trea t the whole
patient - they treat the illness, the
disease, the damaged body orga n," says
Raffert y.
But most patients - especially th ose
faced with a life-long disability or a
chronic condition which will J imit their
ability to functiori - need much more
· from medicine, he belieVes.

His son helped him adjust
Son Adam, then seve n, sensitiVe to the
situation, would go to his father's bedside
and asR Rafferty to helphim with his
reading assignments from school.
" I would tell him 1 couldn' see enough
to help him and he would persistently
reply-he would spell the words for me."
The boy's childish attempt to coax his
father out of his depressipn succeeded .
.. Adam was instrumen!al in making me
realize 1 was needed and even without
sight, 1 had much to offer," Rafferty
,
recalls.
Returning to med school, he found
most of · his fellow students and
instructors willing to be of assistance.
.. Never having before dealt with a blind
student, the teachers would often ask me
for suggestions as to how they could
present vis ual material so I could giasp
it," he recalls.
While some felt he was foo lish to \
continue his educatio n, he persisted .
Doing hls junior and senio r work at
Buffa lo General Hospital and Erie
County Medical Center, he became
convinced psychiatry would be a good
choice for a future speCialty. In those
hospitals, he dealt with ·and was able to
help many who had chronic illnesses or
disabling conditions.
.. 1 believe there are two levels of
acceptanCe - intellectual and emotional
- which must he faced by those with a
life-lo ng handicap. Unless yo u can
emotionally accept you r' condition you
never truly accept it a t all."
He is 'handicapped'
.. A Pennsylvania physician with whom
I've talked and who is also blind refers to
his disability as an 'inconve-nience' rather
tha n a handicap," Raffen y says. " But I
acce pt my lack of sight as a handicap
because .there are asJ?ects of medicine that
I can not· possibly attempt because I
cannot see,"' the young physician notes
with candor.
He looks forward -to his psychiatry
residency; his wife and children are also
looking to the move to Cleveland as
another challenge to be overcome.
"No one should allow a;lisability to
prevent him or her from doingwhat he or
she really wants to do ," Raffert y
contends.
He laughs over a recent incident
involving his newly-acquired guide dog.
A lady and her little girl were walking
by and the child said, "Look at the
doggie."' The mother said, .. Isn't that nice,
that man is training thal dog for some
poor blind person."
- Rather than Jet the comment pass,
Rafferty explained the dog was his and he
was ..the blind person."'
"You should make the most of what
you have,"he says. "But to deny what you
haven' got is a failure to accept
yourself."

er;s," he continued, "'are the prOfessionals
and the bureaucrats."
The proliferation and rise in prestige of
bureaucrats and professionals is a ..distinctly moder:o phenomenon__which has
occurred espCciaUy in the Utlitcd States.
"TbeqUCstion begins to be, not what is
a pr:ofession, but is 'there anything which
can.not be a profesSion," he stated. "The consummate danger 'of (the rise
of the professions) is what I term the'professional fallacy,' " Boorstin explained ,
.. which is the temptation to believe that
the professions exist for_the sake oflhe
professions.'"
In his own experience. Boorstin said he
lias encounte~museiim curators wfi"o
believe collections exist to be Curated;
similarly librarians are sometimes tempted to arrange their institutiqns to keep
collections in order and always: on the
shelf." '
.
Bur;eaucracy is caused by the increasing size _o[enterprises &amp;nd goven\ment.
Boorstin noted, adding that "there is.also
a bureaucratic frame of mind with its own
spCciaJ temptations that produce the
'bureaucratic fallac)l. • ·
"The bureaucratic mind," he declared.
...,ii..cautious and tries to avoid the need for
decisions. But this caution is designed not
to ~reserve specialized learning. but to
keep thinss on track, and themselves on
the ladder to promotion and most espeQally oO die road to their pensions ...
S.o where do real leaders come from? .
'-

--rrom1nent professionals and

bureau- ~

crats are sometimes assumed to be leaders, but leadership is something else, •
Boorstin believes. •tt i1 not an acquire'd
_ expert~ or specialized knowledge of
procedures.

or she must be an amateur. "in the origi·
nal sense of the word, .. Boorstin said one who en.gages in an activity for the
love of it. A true leader•must "be able to
rise above the level o(the professional to
preserve the g.aivety and openness of
mind of t)ie ah!ateur. ~
In conclusion, Boorstin declared thS:.t
though a great university such as UB
"inevitably" provides the professionals .
and bureaucrats needed to keep our ;..
society functioning, the institution must
not neglect educating people in•the liberal, or ..liberated, .:a arts.

this is to liberate us from the prison of our

Union
Faculty panel calls for
a University-wide facility
adjacent to activities b~i~ding
By JOYCE Bi.JCHNOWSKI
Faculty Senate ad hoc committee cflarged with offering ideas
for creation of a union facility
on the Amherst Campus
recommends in its report completed last
week. that a centralized university union
- as opposed to a student union - be
built adjoining the planned Student
A~tivities Building-along the academic
spme_
The committee's repott was reviewed
by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee (FSECj a~d forwarded to Robert
·1. Millonzi, who is chairing tne University
Council Committee on Student Activity
Space. Millonzi has asked for input from
eight campus.constituent groups, one of
which is the Faculty Senate. President
Sampl asked Millonzi's panel to answer
five rrt.aJOT questions regarding a union,
including location, funding and functions.

Says CoUins? ...One of our instructors
w)io was heading back to Trinidad last
summer suggested tbat we really should
come together as a community or people
to say something about wbat we've bee!'
doing in developmental education.
Because so many of us have received our
training at the ULC - there are ex-ULC
- people in Chicago, Mississippi, Niaga!a
Falls and Greece to name a few - we
thought it was a terrific idea," she adaed
with pride.
Collins said the conference idea
developed further when a planning
commtttee was formed to address how
the ULC and FES could "seriously
address thCissues. •• Soon after, the committee received approval for a grant from
the Conferences in the Disciplines program at UB and the conference was offi·
cially underway.
According to Collins, the conference will
focus on the role ·o f basic skills in higher
education, the role of the ULC for the last

Learning Center type program in higher
education institutions in general Also
important to the theme of the conference,
she said, will he a critical examination of
expeCtations and demands of faculty
towards developmental edqcation. "We
need to know how they (faculty) are going
to react to stud~nts in different learning
situations .so we can gear our instruction
accordingly."
Collins concluded by saying that
t{IOking an education available to people
who would nevtr have the opportunity
otherwise is not enough. "If we're going
to open Lhe door for these students, we
better determine what they need to get
tht:Jn through once. they're here," she
said.

Not just recreation .
Lee Dryden, chair of the Senate ad hoc
committee and a member of the FSEC,
told his colleagues that building a centralized union is important not only for
recreational reaso~ but also because it
would enhance the quality of life on cam·

'"'liJ committee

~!i'sommends a
/

University-wide
group to design
the lacility

pus. He said his com mittee feel s the facilIt y should: · 1. provide space for
university-wide activjties; 2. ..foment
interaction•· amoQg faculty, students and
staff, and 3. serve as an ..identifiable point
of reference .. for the Buffalo area
community.
The facult y committee favors adding
on to the activities building rcither than
building a separate facilify on a different
pan of the campus because, as Dqrdcn
said, it is the .. line of least resistance ...
Greater likelihOod
"It seems tbat the likelihood of creating
a- suitable facility is greater-if we begin
with an already planned building than if
we teCOIJ!mend the de.v elopment of yet
another facility for which money has not
yet been ap proved ... the committee repon
. states.
..

Spac.e priorities
In prioritizing the allocation of space in
the facility - which the. committee
recommends Should contain between
30,000 to 40,000 sq. (t.- first preference
is given to a conference theater, a large
publiclo unge (similar to the old Haas
lounge) and reservation rooms of various
sizes to accommodate the pfogram a nd
meeting functions of campus groups.
Next, the committee feels that centralized
services such as a post office, ticket office,
banking and credit union services, an
information and reservations counter
and a central operations complex ••are
vital to convenient living on campus."
These services, the report points out,
should be available in the lobby area or in
·
a place of ·~rimary traffic flow."
In terms of office spaCe, the committee
recommends that the facility house cam·
pus organizations which have ..a large or.
potentially large canipus·wide member;
ship .. or which ..serve University·wide
functions," such as NYPIRG, CAC, the
Off-Campus Housing Office, student
publications, Commuter Affairs and
min'ority student organizations. Second
priority for offices, the faculty group
feels, should he giv~n student government gr_oup! and associated administrative and programming units. Special constituency or special interest clubs should
receive the lowest priority for office
space, the COIJlmittee recommends.
While DUE· and the Educational
Opportunity Program "sho uld · be
regarded as possible tenants," t.he repon
notes that neither office feels strongly
that being located in the union is essential.
to proper performance of its functions.
ln concluding its report, the committee
also recommends that a University-wide
task force be created to help design the
facility.
19 returned questionnaires
The ad hoc committee received input
from 19 returned questionnaires which
were distributed to about 80 campus
groups, and from interviewing a number
of interested parties, such as ..-ep..-esentativ,es from The Spectrum, NYPIRG,
GSA, SA and Drs. John Neal and Elwin
Powell.
.
Before voting to forward the report to
Millonzi , a few FSEC members expressed concern that the recommenda·
tions for the union do not contain enough
of a "draW" for faculty and staff and that ·
without such an attraction as the Tiffin
Room, few non--students would take the
time to walk. there. Another membersug·
gested tbat United University Profeosions·
(U UP) be considered for space in the
facility.

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

Academic reorganization plan stirs ·concerns o,r campus
BJ lOYCE 8\JCUNOWSKJ
cademic reorganization, be it in

a natural responSe to what some perceive

A

. During the past few weeks, the discus-

from £977 to 1981, in tbc number of
entries in ..fhe five most prominent geoSf!lphy journals published in the United
States. Instead of a merger, the current
proposal asks that a mechanism be developed for Geography to "eooperote ;n
inter-faculty program development"with
Geology. Economics, M.. nagement,
Architecl.ure and possibly Computer
Science and Engineering.

sions and comments of members of the
Senate Executive Committee have mirrored the private and expressed concerns
of their constituent groups obout the
a~demic planning oow u,Merway. .
Except for FSEC questioning about
why' departments were heoring about
proposed changes (as if they were a fait
accompli) before they were discussed by
the Senate,' very little criticism has bccu
leveled against the pr.occss of decisio.n malcing. Even the above concern faded
with an explanation from the VPAA's
otTu:c. That being that Academic Affairs
thought it should inform department
chain about any proposed changes which
could impact on their areas before the
information was discussed in a more publicforum. Some oftbedepartment chairs,
even some wbo asked the VPAA not to
reveal the proposed changes because of
pOssible effects on their units, went back
and told all to their faculty. This brought

•
A number of foculty have commented
· privately to the lhport~r that creating a
bicameral consultative .process for academic plarutiog was a stroke of genius by
tbc VPAA 's office. No group can legitimately gripe that they are excluded from
tbc pr_occss; neither _faculty, st_udenu,
ataff nor administration. When any
~or decision is rendered at this institu·
lion, lhis point, it seems, is pllrticularly
vulnerable to attack. One need only think
back tothedosing&lt;ifSquire Hall. One of
the biggest complaints of students was
that they were 110t consulted during the
campus planning process. VPAA Ross-bera and his Asaociate V P Bill Greiner
have been around too long and are too
avvy to fall into that trap, foculty have
said-to the ~~~- They knew they

'Block books' blunted uitidsm
Another tactical move in the planning
effort. accordin&amp;towme faculty, was the
creation
the "black boob," the reference books created by Academic Affairs
for -each ~tparately budgeted depanment
or insquctional unit under iu umbrella.
Each book contains trend data on a
myriad of item&amp;:-&lt;faculty workload, enrollment patterns, foculty/student ratios,
number of applicants, approv~ majors
and degrees awarded, and much more.
Also included is data on comparal&gt;le
institutions which provide good reference
points. •
Since the data is there in black and
white, it •s difficult to accuse Academic
Affairs Of offering proposals based on a
lack of information or personal preference. For instance, at last week's FSEC
meeting, Psyc)lology Professor Ira
Cohen indicated that some faculty have
hinted a "conspiracy" is afoot, given that
Greiner and Voldemar tonus, assistant
VP for Academic Affairs, are from professional schools (Law and Management,
respectively) and that the arcis.which will
be gaining lines are the professional
areas. such as Law. Management, Engi·
neering and Architecture. It may sound
crazy, Cohen suggested, but that's what
some people are thinking,
Pope told the FSEC that though he
doesn' necessarily agree with all the
Academic Affairs proposals, be "has no
doubt" that decisions are rendered in an
"honest and upnght fashion~ and based
on criteria.
"But who decided which department
would be ·on the original 'hit' Jist"?" one
member probed. Nb person. "The 'black
books,' " Pope responded.

or

according to A-cademic Affairs, indeed it
is.
.
The ways in which resources could be
identified for reallocation was outlined in
meetings with the two consultative
groups. The approaches offer "no pn:script•on for action, .. an Academic AffalfS
document empb!oized,.and are meant to
be .. illustrative. not exhaustive orconclu·
sive." They are: transfer staff turnover
lines'(sc~ries and professional stall);
transfer/ reassign nisting staff (secretaries and professional stafl); ' transfer
faculty lines ~gnations and retirements); traQsfer/ reassigo existing
faculty; transfer TA / GA lines; transfer
and collapse TA / GA_ lines; restrict,salary
counteroffen, particularly at scmor
ranks, excepLwhcre demand or compelling quality f ocntrality factors a.re present;
consider additional on·load instruction
to free up n;soui'ces in MFC; and transfer
staff responsibilities to faculty (scheduling, advising. budget).
So far Academic Affairs has tri~ the
first three approaches. For example, Linguistics' small staff and student load
.could not justify a full-time pro.fessional
staffaember, in the view of the VPAA's
office. As a result, a transfer was worked
out with Economics. Counseling and
Human Services lost its assistant to the
chair to Architecture. but the move was a
voluntary one initiated by the _professional staff member.
Pope told the FSEC that what happened to Lin8uistics is indicative of the
current ..squeeze \,on professional staff in
smaller units and the justification now
necessary to maintain them.

Being defensive is notural
_
VPAA Rossberg is well aware that '!ny
kind of disruption of the status quo in an
academic community can be painful for
faculty and staff. In a March interview
with t)le &amp;port.,, be said he felt it "natural" for faculty "to be defensive about
something they value very highly" and
natural that they feel "resistant or resentful when they perceive someone outside
their area of expertise mating some qualitative judgments about the relative sta- tus of the worth of their activity as compared to some other activity."

As noted before, at last week's F~EC
meeting, Bob Pope reaffirmed that.Aca·
dcmic Affairs "listens" and is "careful and
cautious" in its approach to academic.
reorganization. but somehow Pope said
he felt a bit uncomfortable witb the process. noting that at times one can feel
"co-opted" by aU the listfning and dialogue revolving around certain proposals. He said he finds the discussions with
Academic Affairs in the StudentFaculty-Staff consultative group more
restrictive than the "free wheeling"' type
of exchange which reportedlY characterizes the meetings with ~be deans and
administratiye group.
.
Academic Affairs is_"pinning a great
deal ofhope" on the ability of an Arts an.d
Sciences College to correct enroUment
problems and the serious student skew
to,...,-d lower level courses, he told the
FSEC. Pope._is not as confident that it
will work. He called that phase of the
plan "vas:ue" and would like specifics on
how tbc creation of an Arts and Sciences

Some Senators, such as Gerry ~ing,
expressed concern that professional
schools such as Law and Management
are getting reallec:ated lines from the arts
and sciences when little ccmsideration is
being given to demographics and the
future n~ in l.bcsc fields. For instance,
tbe need for business graduates is supposed to level off; just as it has for dental
grads.
Pope responded that Academic Affairs
wants to build flexibility into the system,
and tbc Arts and Sciences Gollcge, they
believe, will help attain that goal, later
adding in a half joke, "this institution is
livin&amp; testament to ignoring demo-

&amp;r&amp;Pbics."

past such as the 200-piece band that
marched down Pennyslvania Avenue at
Richard Nixon's inauguration in the late
1960s. and the "famous" blackout by
ABC Television of the half-time
performance· at a U/ B-Holy Cross

Cipolla. and ihe reun ion itself. a special
meaning, he says. " Except fo( just a few

problems they had with their particular

about the different types of bands we had
over the years and it was somethingthat 1
could really associate with. The really
interesting thing about the reunion,
though, was that a lot of the people here
who were from aifferent areas of theUniversity other than music, still

and natural enthusiasm.

While the bulk of the 75-80 alumni at
the reunion were from the 1960's ell\.(the
last appearance of a marching band here
was at the controversial football game in
1971), a few of the University Band "oldlimen" showed up also. Almon Volk, a

"c:oaud" into playini at the concert_
Jeny Mars - who was instrumental in
ro-orpnizina tbe band after World War
U - and John Geocrek (1947-49) were
also able to c:odle to tbe event. Another
alumnus from ""'Y back, lrvia&amp; Scbac:tel
(1927), had iDtended to c:ome trom New

York City also, but, acco-;:ding to Cfpoila,
his doctor thought otherwise at the last
moment.
'Cipolla also felt the - reunion was
significant in. ways other than just getting
old friends together for a good time:. He
refcrr.O to the participation and genenil
interest shown -by his current U 18
students at the reunion as indicative of
the need for more student involvement in

arc interested in doing things other than
getting good ·grades. I think that the
participation and hard work that they put
mto our reunion, and the fun they had in
being involved, demonstrates their want
of ·a social life at U I B. Students need
something to hold on to, and the band
can have a very defmite place for them

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

An old waminc
In tracing sonic of tbe history of nuclear
weapons development, Lcstingi's show
reveals that the chief designers oftbc original atomic bombs were strongly opposed
to developing a mucb more powerful
thermonuclear weapon.
Emblazoned across the screens
appean a wa.m.ing, from a document
written three decades ago by Manhattan
Project director~ . Robert Oppenheimer
and s_ome of his colleagues. The scientists,
we-read, believed '"the extreme danger to
manl:.ind" would "wholly outweigh any
military advantage" the weawn could
provide.
.. Its use would involve the decision to
slaughter a vast number of civilians,"
they warned, adding that it "might
become a weapon of genocide," whose
mere existence would be a "threat to the
fu'turc of the human race."
Despite this advice, President Truman
ordered tbc weapon produced, Lcstingi
says. There arc thousands of such devices
in the world today.
And tbc Atomic Energy Commission
kept tbc Oppenheimer document a top
secret for twenty-five years, despite tbc
scicntisu' request for permission to discuss llie dangers of the secret weapon
publicly.

"From Plato to NATO"
Besides bis ·A-V ' activitics, Lcstingi is
gathering signatures on a Federation of _
American Scicntiru petition, to be presented to Congress, stating that the United
States "$hould not base its p&lt;!li~ics or
weapons programs on the bcltcf that the

Dr. Payne retiring in May

A

day-long program on "Complete Prosthodontics for tbe
'80s" is being held today at the
Center for Tomorrow in boQor

• of Dr. S. Howard Payne, retiring professor of prosthodontics at UI B and internationally known educator.
· Payne's colleagues have established a
Scholarship Fund in his name which will
be handled through me U I B Dental
Al'fni Association. The Funa will pro-

Dr. Payne

~de financial assi,tancejn perpetuity to

pbstgraduate students in prosthodontics
here.
Payne, a ·[937 graduate of the Ul B ~
School of Dentistry. has been on its
facultyfor45 years. He is retiring to Tucson, Arif., next month ~
.
· A leading proponent of combining

technical skilil; with art in the creation of
fuU mouth dentures, Payne bas civen
more than ISO presentations and TV clio-·
ics in the U.S., Europe, South Africa and
Egypt. Many of his videotaped l&lt;ctures
. ·and demonstrations on the art and tech·
nique of removable prosthodontics have
been used in classrooms of dental schools
at such institutions as Ohio State.
Payne estimates he bas taught - in
person or on screen - between 30004000 would-be dentists over the years. He
developed a technique which involves
hand molding teeth which look like the
patients' natural teeth.
· ".Today, however," he says, "much of
the actual_ work on the completed dentures iS' done either at a laboratorY or by
technicians." Today's dentist seldom has
the time to individually craft the finished
product.
Looking back over his d~ntal career at
UI B and in Buffalo, Payne recalls that
until the late 1950s, faculty at the School
of Dentistry were referred to as "full
time" but in reality were paid for less than
part-time.
"When I left the School at 3 p.m.• I had
office hours five nights a week and on
Saturdays in Kenmore, to actually
living," says 'Payne. He also remembers
that for his "full ti'me" work at th~ School
in 1937, he was paid the grand annual
sum of $1426.
"Today. of course, faculty may prac·
tice through the Faculty Practice Group
at the School but they are also paid full
time salaries for teaching full Lime," he
adds.
"Nowadays, you wouldn' find young
dentists who would probably be willing
to give full days to the School and be
expected to really earn their living practicmg nights and Saturdays,"he believes.
In addition to his heavy schedule
deyoted to teaching and private practice,

Payne also served as acting dean of the
School of Dentistry when Lbe late Dr.
leon Gauchat became ill. In his career.
he notes that he's served under a total of
six deans.
Pt.Yne, a member of several profession{( as.sociat.ions. has served as a
national consu1tant in prosthodontics tO
the Veterans Admini&amp;tration in Washing·
ton. He was named by the UI B Dental
Alumni as ManoftbeYearin 1964and in
1968 received the Dean's Medal f!Jr his
service.

An avid sailboat racer, solfer and
bowler. he has sold his 91-year-&lt;&gt;ld home
and office on Porter Ave. to two of his
former students: Drs. Fred Mcintyre and
Gary Krueger, who will specialize in
removable and ftxed prosthodon ics.
A dinner will climax the special program in Payne's honor today.
But his farewell will occur May 23-at
Kleinha)lS Music Hall when he delivers
the commencement address for the 1982
graduating class of the School of Dent is·
try.

While the energy pu-lse of the Main Street Campus can be
measured by its steam lines, the Amherst Campus has "the
Loop" - an underground circulatory system of ~supply "
an.Q "return" pipes that carry chilled water to all Amherst
buildin_gs except Governors and Ellicott residence halls.
Unlike the steam lines, which provide heat, the Loop's purpose is to remove it.

When the cooling IQ&amp;d is high, a single
chiller can draw as much as 3000
ltilowatl£.oleleclrical power. At this level
of energy demand, the chiller is using
over $ISO worth of electricity per hour.
Needless to say, energy costs add up when
one or tw&lt;? chillers are operating 12-1 S
hours a day, as they do in the middle of
summer. Add to this the energy that is
required to operate the Chilled Water
Plant's numerous pumps. l:.arge 200
horsepower "primary pumps" supply the
chijlers with water from the Loop. And
even larger ~00 hp "secondary pumps" do
the work of pushing the water around the
Loop with it£ more than five miles of
pipe.
In 1981; the Baker Chilled Water Plant
consumed - over 11,000,000 ldlowatt
hours of electricity. This cost the
University over $600,000. Of course,
additional ene&lt;gy (at additional expense)
is required by each building in o&lt;der to
power the pumps. that lift the chilled

cooling produced.
In 1973, the Amherst Campus Physical
Plant Departmenf ·deciiled to liepart
from the design parameters and operate
the system in a new way. By raising the
temperature of the air leaving air
handlers to 60" F., the use of reheaters
during the cooling seaso n was nearly
eli&lt;ninated at the same time that the
cooling (Ojld on the chillers was reduced.
So inefficient was the original design,
that first year savings resulting from this
conservation measure were estimated at
$1 ,000,000.
Other eneru saving techniques
Other energy saving techniques have
been employed as well. Although less
dramatic, significant savinp have been
achieved by experimenting with the
operation of the chillers and the cooling
towers. The system was designed to
operate with 86° F. water from the
cooling towers, but Chilled Water Plant
personnel discovered that the chillers
operate more efficiently with cooling
tower water in the 7f1' -75° F. range.
While the towers have to work a little
harder to achieve this temperature
(esgeciaUf on hot da~). the cooler-~ter
results 1n the cliJ!Iers producmg
approximately 12% more cooling while
consunling 12% less power.
•
ln.addition to te¢bnical changes iml'lemented behind the scenes by U I B Phys•cal
Plant personnel, other ener&amp;Y consetva-.
tion measures during the cooling season
are possible. They include:
• Turning out lights 'and other
appliances when not required - in
classrooms, offu:es and labs.
• Keeping windows and doors closed
in air conditioned areas.
· • Reporting areas ihat are o\oercooled
to Maintenance.
These measures are "simple and cost

Initially, huge savings were made

buildings were built with "terminal

maximize comfort -through complete
temperature and humidity control. The.

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

&lt;br /&gt;The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.</text>

ProViding the two bodies agree, task

necessary, to study the feasi bility of the

Besides considering a merger of Social

Affairs also called for a task force to
explore the possibility of that school

vice versa) with the result being a
progni'm offering both a B.A. and
M.S.W. degree.
,
Academic Affairs also .recommended
that two areas be considered for phaseout: the .pepanment of Communication
(with reassignment of tenured faculty and
permanent staff), and Cultural Affairs,
whose duties will be absorbed by the
Division of Public Affairs and by Arts
and Letters.
.
Two other options were propostd for
CommuOication: suspension of graduate
programs (Ph.D. only or Ph.D. and

Sample outlines
priorities &amp; goals
for his-presidency
By JOHN T. THURSTON
resident Steven B. Sample
specified strengthened research,
aggressive student recruitment,
improvements in the quality of
student life and an e&gt;&lt;panded commitment to public service as four main
university prioritits, during a "'State of
the University" address Friday, Apri116.
Addressing a large convocation of
students, faculty, staff and members of
the University Council, the new President
who took office on March l, also
presented his impressions of U I B, a
conception of his role as president and a
number of personal reflections on the
university's strengths and problems and
on higher edlllOIItion in general.
"While we certainly rank among the
top 100 institutions in terms of total
Federal support for research and
development, and much higher in certain
categories of Federal research support,
our placement should be among the top
25 institutions overall," he said, calling
for greater incentives and more
encouragement for faculty and students
to become more involved in the research
mission.

P

Rec:ruitinc the""best students
A more aggressive recruitment program
"for the very best students in New York
State," in addition to a greater emphasis
and strategy for drawing top minority
and Western New York students to U/ B
was also given high priority by the
President.
" Recent cutbac4. in Federal student
financial aid," he noted, "should make
U/ B even more attractive to students
who heretofore may have considered
only prestigious l'rivate colleges and
universities."
Outlining a third priority, the president
recognized a serious need for additional
student activity facilities, improved
overall respect for students.and more outof-classroom contact between faculty
and students, as solutions to improving
the quality of student life on campus.
In pointing out the importance of more
than classrooms, libraries and labs,
Sample said he believed the proposed
Student Activities Building, a planned
Theatre/ Museum complex, the nearfuture completion of the Bookstore and
Fieldhouse and his own recently initiated
investigation of a possible centralized
studept union would be Jtelpful in
meeting student activity facility needs.
Students are valued uaoelates
A more cooscious effort at treating
students as "valued, respected associates"
and increased opportunities for regular
out-of~lassroom interaction between
students and faculty were also cited as
measures needed for improving the
student's total coUege experience.
~This is a large university with many
students - warm, live beings, not FTEs
or headcounts that simply round out
enrollment targets. Their minds are
young and vibrant, and it is both an
honor and a great respoosibility for us to
bave a baud in shaping them," Sample
said.
.
The public service role for U I B in tbe
.Western New York community - Dr.
Sample's fourth priority - would be
expanded to include a special focus on
economic revitalir.ation.
"We must make every effort to
'broaden tbe economic base of Westem
New York over tbe coming decades by
encourqina the sro...U. and development of hilbc&lt; teclmology industries m

researchers and commercial development
interests.
"This Center is symbolic of the kinds of
cooperative economic development
programs in which we must become
heavily engaged in the future," he added.
More open to tbe community
As another aspect of the University's
public service role, Sample said, the
univenity must become more open to the
community.
"Our libraries, plays, concerts, ftlms,
lectures, colloquia and atbktic events
serve to draw to our campus some of our
most important constituents the
taxpayers, parents and citizens of this
area. In a very real sense this iS their
university and they should feel as though
they are a part of our extended academic
community, .. he said.
ReOecting on his impressio of U I B,
Sample praised the strenll'h and
potential of the university which bas been
brought about through the productivity,
pride and dedication of its faculty,
students and staff.
High marks were also awarded for
strong support given by alumni, the U I B
Foundation and the University Council
as well as area legislators and taxpayer")

Diffitult transition
Many of the University's problems, as
viewed by its 14th chief executive, stem
from three main historical facts.
including the transition of U/ B from a
~ivate to a public institution in 1962, the
comparative newness of the concept of
public higher education in New York
State which was the last state in the
Union to establish a state universit y
system and the physical move of the core
campus from Main Street to Amherst
which began in the early 1970s.
Sample explained that while a private
to public traosition would be difficult in
any state, "the difficulties were especially
acute in New York State where all the
prestigious role models were private
universities ...
The possible fear among U / B
constituents that public service commitments would have an adverse effect on
primary teaching and research missions,
coupled with a new need for stronger
support from the community, added to
the complication of the merger, be noted.
Regarding the novel concept of public
higher education in this State, Sample
noted that "the concept of a statesupported university is barely 30 years
old here, while it is over a century old in
most other states and nearly I SO years old
in many.
'
"This very early stage of development,"
he continued, "makes it difficult for our
State iovernm.e nt to differentiate
between the State University and other
public service agencies."
This inability, be pointed out, along
with tbe State's constitutional structure
which places an enormous concentration
of power in the Governor's offu:e and in
the executive bureaucracy, binders the
achievement of the de~ of autonomy
which is required for efficient operation
of a publie university.
•we must therefore continue to work
with tbe political and bureaucratic
leadership of New York in develop in&amp; tbe
mutual trust and understanding that will
inevitably lead to a reasonable d&lt;IJ'IC' of
autonomy for SUNY in JCI!CI1ll and for
the Buffalo campus m · particular, •
Sample said.
Dilnlpdve lldl-et
Commentin&amp; on a third fundamental ·
problem - the University's move from
Main Street to Ambent - Sample was
sympathetic to tbe disruptive influence
caused by the move.

his discourse at a panel session

observation remained true for the

Bible to a critical examination and
analyzed the role that religion does and
should play in our society.
Each panel of the two-&lt;lay conference
drew an almost capacity crowd to the
Moot Counroom. While there were, as
fundamentalist Homer Duncan pointed
out, .. no a mens," the audience nonetheless • participated actively with more
sec ular reactions like laughter. guffaws,
skept ical harrumphs and even hisses.

After official opening remarks by
conference organizer Paul Kurtz and
President Steven B. Sample. a bust of
Darwin was presented to the University:

Sol Tax, professor of anthropology.
UnW!rsity of Chicago: "To me it is a fact
that man is a product of a purely
naturalistic process of evolution which
accounts for all species of plants and
animals which have existed on eanh.
Whatever differences exist among
scholars concerning the processes
themselves, I am confident that nothing
supernatural has ever been pan of those
processes . . .. Lessons have long been
learned from mythologies of peoples all
over the world ... If indeed the Universe
was supernaturally created, it must have
been by a single Creator who revealed
himself in different ways. If our
comparative religionists could establish
criteria and identify the cases, they might
perhaps also be able to make a
concordance and develop interpretations
based on the whole corpus of evidence.
The result could very well suppon the
view (or increase the probability) that the

ultimate enemies of morality - not

simply because we may happen to dislike

deeper reason . Moral ity rests upon
human needs. When any issue co mes to
be trea ted as having but one solution, as a
matter of fixed and inflexible principle,
then religion, which is invoked to support

the inOexibility of such principle, does
become the enemy of ethics. For a princi-

Garrell Hardin, the dislinguishtd
ecologist from the University of California, Santa Barbara: .. Only a minoril y df
committed religious people today oppose
Darwinism. Do (the Fundamentalists)
oppose the idea that theageofthe earth is
vastly greater than 6,000 years? ... That
man is kin to the: apes? On the surface.
these seem to be the principal points or
dispute, but I think we should doubt that
this is all there is to the story. Whenever a
_dispute goes on for more than a century.
as this one bas, we should suspect that the
real grounds for the dispute have not
been laid bare. We should suspect that we
are dealing with symptoms rather than
cause. As Alan Wood bas said, 'The reason why great intellectual advances often
arouse violent opposition .. , is that they
do not challenge what everybody is thinl&lt;ing at the time. They challenge ideas
which are assumed so unthinkingly that
people do not even realize that they are
assuming them.' ..
' William Mayer, professor of biology.
University of Colorado. Boulder: "With
the publication or The Origin of Species
by Charles Darwin in 1859, public consciousness was raised concerning evolution and its implications. Had Darwin
written an esoteric, jargon-loaded
manuscript, it probably would have been
argued within the baUs or science with
little impaet on society. Instead, Darwin
wrote a manuscript that the a venose intelliaeot penon could read and understand."
CJuu/es Cazeau, UI B tUsocitJU professor ofgrplogy: " ... We mllSt make some

statement with this anecdote: a scientist
who had decided the moon was made or

in his mouth, chewed, and said, ... , knew

Only twice, he admitted, was he

logic more or less falls by the wayside .
Even the Sp&lt;'ctrum got in the act. At

announeed he had earlier asked a
stranger to pick out any word from the.
paper, circle it, then crum ple up the page
11 was on and hide it. Sure enough, Randi
went over to the blackboard and not only
guessed the word, but wrote it upside
down. The young participant, mean~
while, swore he was not in cahoots with
the magician.
Later, as a spoof on Philippine
"surgeons" who reportedly remove
maligaant tumors via ~psychic surgery,"
·Randi performed a little operation of his
own. With a volunteer lying prone before
him, Randi, tbr'ough illllSionary effects,
looked as thougb he had his hand inside

Visiting speak·e r defends
rights of moral activists
By MJCHAEL L. BROWN
One can seriously argue that the recent
alliance forged by many of the Christian
organizations in America with the socalled "New Right" has helped give conservative politics in this country a new
lease on life.
Even though the election of Ronald
Reagan and the "overthrow" of many liberal Democrats in Congress was indicative of an aversion to a variety of nonreligious ills shared by the voting public
[the economy, the defense, the Iranian
crisis, and American pride. just to name a
few], the new push for morality and
moral values demonstrated by this coalition, and its effectiveness in generating
votes should not be downplayed either.
Here, Friday, to discuss the relationship between Christians and the New
Right a.nd to address the obvious fears
and arguments surrounding this type of
an alliance was Dr. William H.
Marshner, professor of theology from
Christendom College in Virginia . His
presentation, "Is Jerry Falwell an Ayetollab? The Moral Majority and the New
Right in American Politics," was sponsored by the U/ B Chapter of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Political
Science Depanment.
ldeoloCY of the therapeutic state
Marshner pointed to the formulation and
emergence or politically-active Christian
aroups, and their subsequent alliance
with the New Right, as just the ~coming
together of moral concerns" in our country. He feels that aroups such as the
Moral Majority, Religious Roundtable,
Eagle Forum, Catholics for Christian
Political Action and the American Life
Lobby went to Washington initially in
search or allies who could provide politi0
&lt;=cil advice for their causes and then found
help in only one place and one organization -the New RighL Said Manhner,
"It isn'I a co-chemistry that brought these
aroups together, it is a chemical antipathy or anti-liberal sentiment tbatdraws
them together."
This sentiment, Marshner further suggested, stems from the fact that liberalism
in American politicsbasbeeomea~uta­
tion~ of what it had traditionally stood
for. "Traditional liberalism wasjllSt popular politic:a, such as economic justice for
all, but now it has become the ideology of
the therapeutic state -a govemmeat run
by the helping profc:aaio01. Educaton,
docton, and social worltm have used
their connectio01 to see to il that legislati~ngiiCS t~ -y ~in dfect 111- the
VIeW that liD II Dqthj!IJ but an Outdated
~ology. We're ~'II tee
child-

reo being counseled in contraception by
public school nurses, homosexual unio!ls
being recognized as families, and Chns·
tian schools being harassed by the IRS
- all with the applause ofliberalsand the
liberal media," he added.
According to Marshner, IRS persecution of Christian and religious schools
helped start the New · Right-Christian
alliance and was instrumental in broadening the alliance's scope of concerns as
well. ~Having to prove that you had a
certain integrated enrollment under
threat or higher taxes, brought the first
wave or evangelist leaders to Washington. When these leaders walked into the
right offices (New Right), the partnership
was born and from there their combined
interests and conservative values helped
expand their policies . •• Marshner
quipped that, ~The only reason liberals
say the New Right is single-issued IS
because they simply can' count."
Why can l Christians Iicht homosexuals!
Fears and anger generated by the alliance
or politics and religion and by t he presence or ~Falwell types" on our political
scene were addressed by Marshner also.
He feels most or this fear results from
misi nterpretation or the philosophy
behind the principle of separation or
chu rch and state and also from the viewpoint that it's inappropriate for religious
salvation to occur by political action. ~ I r
certain schools and Christian groups are
fighting back against IRS pressure or the
foreed hiring ofho.m osexuals, then why IS
this a violation of the separauon of
church and state?" be demanded. ~The
separation of church and state d oes not
forbid churches from speal&lt;ing o~t and tl
does not require them to remam qu tet
and facile. It is a principle destgned to
ched the government," Marshner added.

~':..r:er

further feels it's not realistic
or fair to ask churches and other Christian aroups t6 relinquish their effecti~e­
ness as a lobbying aroup fo.r mora hty
because of erroneollS liberal interpretations or oeparation or church and state.
"Modem demoetacy imposes duties on
its citizens to the extent where we are
obliged to put just and pious men into
offiCe. Why is it no less right for a church
to act corporatdy iasuppon of its people
&amp;Dd"tbeir wish for aoocjal atmosphere ~f
Cbristiaa valliCI?", Manhner emphaucally pooecl. "Politics, like radio and TV,
can be a powerful tool for oavin&amp; souls . . ·

zalc, a founding qjember of KOR, the
group of Polish intellect uals who advited
Solidarity in jtS early days.
Barancza'k; along with other Polishborn scholars, a U.S. State Department
offiCial. a Solidarity activist In exile, and
others, \lathered Saturday for a
"Sym posoum on Solidarity," the
concluding event in Ul B-. semester-long

"Sec:ms largely to have quietly accepted
the Soviet propagafl!la." Sobdarity, be
stated, "is a social and spiritual
phenomenon." The famous 3 millionmember trade union;. not dead, he later
told a Couri~Expr~ss reporter.
While all" · the speakers · implicitly
praised the - work ,of Solidarity, they
disagreed on what the West shquld do,
and on what role the Soviet Union. bas
played in the crisis.
'Pisslmistic'
Dr. Adlm Bromke, cbairman of ibe
PoJiJical Science Departmen t at
Hamilton's McMaster University, was
pesSimistic about Solidarity's return .
.. Some segments" of.the union have re·
grouped, and An underground does exist,
he said. But the Solidarity members are
"quite scatte(Cd," and the undergrournl
doesn\ appear to 6c nationwld"'
Bromke also said be was "pessimistic"
about ~oland's future. A "popular
upheaval" would only ensure " bloodshed·
, and Seviet intervention,"tiesaid. "Let QS
have no· illusions (about ~hit). MA neo- .
Stalinist "puppet regime~ would be
intrOduCC$i . More optimistic ..scenarios, ...
such as the period of economic reform
that occurred in Hungary in tbe early
1960s, areunlikely. In Poland, "you can\
offer people economic benefits for the
ne xt three years," said Bromke, because
the Polish economy is in such disastrous
shape. Also, improvements io Hungary
only occurred when Hungarians were
"tired " and acquiescent following four
years of"brutal"repre.. ion after the 1956
reVolution. This is not the situation in a
" bitterly pola)'ized" Poland , said
Bromke. where Poles "have had a recent
example of freedom an4, collective
action . ~

On the brighter side, Bromke sajd

Moreover, "you can\ govern a proud

Bromke. But tho 'farsaw~rn scholar

Bromke told the Hoclastetter audience

hen 1 am asked to explain woodcuuing. I am embarrassed
because 1 have no special skill or secret," writes Naoko Matsubara. Japanese~ born Canadian artist whose works are now on
display in the Capen Gallery.
The statement seems incredible, so skillfully wrought are M~tsubara's
woodcuts, so forceful is her an. But the artist_, who ga~a dem?.~tratton of.h er
woodcutting techniques last week, has UU. VIew of he_r secret: I wooder if 11
mi2ht be something which Frau Lizzi taught me: cr;atiOn comes about when the
wiWto create is one with the love of the matenal
Matsubara who usually uses Japanese paper likely to last forever, talks about
the " pleasure' of cutting into the wood," and her wish to be !'erself. Ja~ese
elements will always be prescnl in her work, she says. And shets a frank ad~rer
of the German Expressionists. But Matsubara, INhose works are tncluded 1n the
permanent collections of leading museums, w'!'hes to draw only on her o~
resources. The results are a pleasure to behold: Blrds and other creatures move m
a son of firrnly-&lt;:tched paradise. And in one work an angel and ftsherman, so
apparently dissimilar, 1wirl in their new-found em~thy.
.
.
In her brief lecture here, Matsubara quoted an admired J!'~ese philosopher,
payi ng tri bule to his "appreciation oft he beauty of normality. Herf~ndn~ for
trees is a lso discussed . She is working on a book, In ~of Trees, tn which 50
collected poems from ancient to contemporary tunes will accompany her an.
S he is interested , quite simply, in .. ev~rything" she sees. .
.
.
Mats ubara writes in t he acco mpanytngcata logue: _... l behevc: t_hat tfmy heart !S
clear and my eyes trai ned to see all around me. and tf my emottonal response lS
deep then what I create will be of value."

Mieczkowski sees two possible "alternatives" for Poland: Soviet interfere nce to
restore economic health, or the Polish
Communist Party's nealization that "no
economic growth is possible without
worker-support." The latter, a "rational"
decision on the party's part. is unlikely

numbers since 1950 -nd was "more
critical of Communist Party sloganeering," said Mieczkowski. He added
that workers were increasingly alienated
by severe economic Ouctuations and by
the decline in national income.
In post-&lt;:aup Poland, Jaruzelski has no
real economic program, said Bromke.
Symposium participant Robert W.
Farrand, deputy director of the State
Department's Office of East European
Affairs, agreed : "He doesn' seem to care
about it (the economy)." Farrand also
noted some improvement in the Polish
food situation. but predicted future
shortages, especially of meat. He stated
thit there is a .. perception problem; in

Solidarity is not a ..class movement ..

Dubofsky, who teaches at SU Y/

characteristics of tradit ional workers'
movements in 19th century Europe and

World.
Sawa Malachowski , president of the
governing body of "Solidarity International ," a group of labor activists li vi ng
in exile, harshly criticized the Soviet role
in Polish affairs. Their aim is to take over
the world , he argued. "They (the Soviet
Union) are a bunch of criminals ...

Norma Haas
dead at age 57
Mass of Christian Burial was
held Saturday in St. Martin's
Church for Noima L: Haas who
died April 13 at ber home in
Boca Raton, A . , after an illness of six
months.
Mrs. Haas, 57, bad retired from the
University in September 1979 after a
career which spanned almost 30 years.
She and her husband moved to
Aorida shortly after that retirement. She
was buried here Saturday in Holy Cross
Cemetery, Lackawanna.
In the years just before ber retirement,
Mrs. Haas served Bf executive secretary
to the Committe~; on Financial Aid to
Students and as office manager of clerical
staff student assistants and CETA
empioyees at the Office of Financial Aid
to Students. In addition to staff
supervision, she had responsibility for
overseeing the University's Endowed and
Unendowed Scholarships and Loans
Program.
Norma Haas began ber employment
with the University of Buffalo in 1950, at
Millard Fillmore College, then located
on Niagara Square. In 1952, she came to
the Main Street Campus to work for the
Veterans Educational Service Office. She
acted as an advisor to veteran students
and was liaison to the Veterans .
Administration in relation to securing
benefits for these students.
As veterans' educational benefits were
the forerunners to today's massive
financial aid programs. it was quite
natural for Mrs. Haas to be involved in
the establishment of financial aid
counseling services at the University. One
of her primary tasks was to publicize
financial assistance programs, to reach
out to prospective beneficiaries, through
participation in college day and night
programs, governmental workshops, and
community discussions.
Mrs. Haas served for some time as
executive secretary and ex-officio
member of the University Ftnancial Aid
Committee. For several years, sbe
directed the United Fuod campaigns
either as chairman or cCH:hairman.
lbe former Norma Dumas was born in
Buffalo and graduated from South Park

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

T

The revi~w . initiated in October, 1981,
incl uded consideration of a complaint
filed by members of the women ·s bowling
team, who alleged that the University had
discriminated against female athletes in
seven separate areas, including funding
and the appointment of a bead coach.
Charles J . Tejada, director of the
Office for Civil Rights in Re&amp;ion ll , based
in New York City, advised U/ B President
Steven B. Sample by certified letter dated
March 31 , 1982, that:
.. OCR has now completed its review
and has found that SUNY Buffalo is in
compliance with Title IX in the award of
grants·in·aid and in the operation of the
other program areas in its intercollegiate
athletics program."
Specifically, in a ~Summary of Findings," Mr. Tejada stated:
"We found that SUNY Buffalo does
not award financial assistance on the
basis of athletic ability. Athletes, like all
other students, receive financial aid on
the basis of academic achievement and
economic need. OCR finds that the UniversitY is in compliance(with that section
of Title IX)."

Complaint flied in 1980
·
The complaint was filed with OCR in
September, 1980, and cited the following
areas in which Title IX had allegedly been
violated: lack of proper financial assist8hce, failure to provide proper equip·
ment, lack of sufficient publicity to fill
openings, improper locker rooms ,
ifi\PrOper practice and compelitive facili·
tieS, lack of effective accommodation of
student interestS and abilities, and failure
to provide proper training.
The major grievances centered on the
appointment of Paul Tzinieris as the head
coach of the women's varsity bowling
team in August. 1980, and financial
assistance.
Mr. Tzinieris, a U I B student at the
time, subsequently resigned as head
coach in December. 1980. and was
replaced fortheremainderofthe 1980-81
bowling season by Cindy Coburn.
Injunction sou&amp;ht
In August. 1981 , in response to a recom·
mcndation by Women's Athletic Direc·
tor Betty Dimmick, approved by
Department ofRARI Chairman Dr. Salvatore R. Esposito, that the women's
bowling program be changed to club status, two members of the women's
bowling team fLied an injunction to retain
the program in varsity status.
The injunction was denied in September, 1981, by Federal Court Judge
John T. Elfvin, who ruled that the complainants - Pamela Detig and Barbara
J. Irwin - had not proved that the
change in status would cause "undue
hardship" and that it was unlikely that
the recommendation of change in status
was in retaliation for the Title IX suit.

. Other procram areas
And under .. Other Program Areas,, Mr.
Tejada wrote:
.
"We found that SUNY Buffalo is providing an athletes equivalent benefits,
treatment and opponunities in the areas
of the provision of equipment and supplies; the scheduling of games and practice
times; the opponunity to receive coa~h·
ing; the compensation and assignment of
coaches; the opportunity to receive aca·
demic tutoring and the assignment and
compensation of tutors; theaccommoda·
tion of student interests and abilities; the
provision of support services; the provi·
sion of housing and dining facilities and
services; the provision of pu blicity; provi·
sion of travel and per diem allowances;
and the provision of medical and training
facilities and services.

Sample talks budget;
Senate okays grading change
a "0" grade or bener GJln repeal courses,
but only the first grade is counted in the
GPA. Consequently, many studenu con·
cerned with improving grade. point aver-

ages, members of the Senate's Grading
Committee noted, prefer getting an "F"
grade to a "0."
Also, according to the reforrtls, students must now make up an incomplete
or"'l" grade wirhin 15 months instead of
two years, or as is o!ten the case, never a.t
all. No student will be allowed to graduate with ....... grades on his or her transcript. Moreover, faculty wbo agree to
give an incompletr must defme how the
course can be satisfactorily completed
and must also note a "default grade," that
is, the grade the student will receive if the
incomplete is not made up in the allotted
time period.
The last reform involved the audit
grade. According .to the Senate resolution, students must inform A&amp;.R during
regi U"ation of their intention to audit

and must secure written approval from
the instructor. The audit status can be
terminated by the instructor during the
semester.
A number of Senators raised objections to permitting students to repeat
courses with only the last grade counted
in the G PA. Physics Professor Richard
Howard. for instance, fell the resolution
was unfair- from a competitive perspective - to students taking a course for the
first tjme. since the work of repeat students is evaluated with respect to others
in a class. Another Senator worried that
students repeating heavily impacted
courses would squeeze out others who
need it. The same Senator argued that
students should be permitted to repeat a
coutse only o~ not as often as desired.
to get. a particular grade.
Irwin Segal, a member of the Gniding
Committee who defended its recommendations, along witb Pat Eberlein, its
chairperson, responded that repeating
courses involves time and effort .. tradeoffs" that wiU likely temper a student's
desire to repeat.
History Professor Leo Loubere finally
offered an amendment to the resolution
which would require students who take a
course for a third time to obtain permission from the instructor. The problem
here, one Senator pointed out, is that the
system could not be · monitored or
enforeed because more than one member
of the faculty can teach a particular
course.
On a voice vote, Senat~Chair Barbara
ol

Howell declared the amendment
defeated.
On the opposite end of the spectrum,
Senate Secretary Gerry Rising objected
to having the first grade shown on the
transcript at all. Another Senator suggested that a provision be included in the
resolution which would protect repeaters
from being evaluated more. stringently
than others. Segal countered that it was
basically futile and inappropriate for tbe
Committee to try to legislate what
happens in the classroom.
The Senate also gave the Commillee
feedback on a proposal :which would
implement a plus and minus grading system. The feedback seemed to mirror an
earlier discussion the Committee had
overt he proposal with the Senate Executive Committee. Essentially. some Senators supported th~ idea because they felt
the current grading system is too restrictive and that the new system would allow
for finer discriminations. Others felt that
trying to decide a grade is a difficult
enough task without addi ng more
breakdowns.
Earlier. while unable to relay positive
news about the budget , President Sample
expressed optimism over the .. apparent
resolve" of SUNY Central and the Trus·
tees to assume responsibility for overall
allocations and reallocations of resources
10 individual units. As noted in last
week's R~port~r. Sample believes this
dramatic departure from previous policy
would benefit UI B this year and over tbe
long haul.
If the Trustees do assume the responsibility, Sample said funds will be allocated
in proportion to the budget request the
Trustees originally send to the Governor.
Apparently, the 008 has been pushing
SUNY to assume this responsibility as
part of a SUNY planning effort.
"I believe very deeply that in the long
run. the best interest of this campus, and
indeed the entire State University of New
York. will be served by a much stronger
role being played by the Board of Trustees in the allocation of resources and
governance of this University as opposed
to the current extraordinarily strong role
played in tboseareas by the 008 and the
executive bureaucracy."
Sample said his comments should not
betaken as a "shot"at the 008. They are
"good and honest people," he noted. But
in the long run. a university is better off if
its resources are controlled by its governing body instead of "an arm of the State
bureaucracy, .. he said.

Since his tenure here began, the President reported , he has been active with
other community leaders in attempting to
establish an independem, private. notfor-profit t~hnical development center
for the Western New York MU. Its goals
are more "parochial" than the high technology center to be locatid at RPI and
the one associated with the University of
Rochester, he noted. The focus will be on
encouraging high technology industries
to develop in the area (as opposed to the
State, in general) with hopes that their
presence will .. balance." the local economy, create jobs and help· correct the
skew towards heavy industry.
The center, Sample said. would
undoubtedly use the expertise of faculty
and staff here.
The President also relayed that Erie
County Executive Edward Rutkowski
asked him to co-&lt;:hair a task force that
would investigate the possibility of establishing a free trade access zone from Buffalo to Toronto. The task force, however,
has not as yet been constituted. Before adjourning, the Senate passed a
resolution which lengtbeos the term of
office for the Senate Chair to two years.
The resolution also provides the vice-

chair with one semester to acquaint himself or herself with the office. Currently
the chair serves one year as vice chair and
one year as chair.
The following news items were
announced:
• Dorothy Woodson was elected secretary of the Faculty Senate and Walter
Kunz, representative to the SUNY
Senate.
• Senator Ted Mills reported that the
National Science Foundation budget wu
increased from $21 million to S32 million
for ftscall982. U/ 8 was one ofa number
of schools nationwide to participate last
year in a letter-writing canipaigo for restoration of funds for social science
research. The area was targeted for dras·
tic reductions in funding this year.
o The manager of F oUett 's has asked
for faculty rep.resentation on a Bookstore
Advisory Committee which hopefully
can iron out some of the complaints
faculty and students have lodged against

found a way for
man to soar
By MICHAEL L. BROWN
rom the Wright Brothers to the
Space Shuttle in tb=-quaners
of a century. Amazing. Amazing
and yet bard to comprehend.
Because when you really sit back and
think about it, man ~s fascination with
flight bas been so great an endeavor that
some peo ple have read about the "Kitty
Hawk" in their local paper and seen men
on the moon in one life-time.
But while the attainment of ffight by
man has come so far and so quickly and
often is a tec.bnology we take for granted,
sustained, controlled, human-powered
flight bad always eluded man's ingenuity
and t hnology. For 18 years the Kremer
prize in aviation, a $96,000 award sponsored by British industrialist Henry Kremer for the first sustained, humanpowered flight, went unclaimed. Then
came Dr. Paul B. MacCready and his
amazing Gossamer series aircraft.
In what could be viewed as a perfect
example of combining common sense
wit h science and technology, MacCready
rqade it possible for a human being to
stay ajrbome usi ng only human energy.
His aircraft, t he Gossaml!r Condor, made
the first human-powered flight in 19n.

F

It banp next to the 1903 Flyer
The o ne-miJe, figure--eight course stipu-

lated by the Royal Aeronautical Society
i9 England was completed by the Condor
cifter numerous tests and dry-runs by
MacCready and his crew in California.
The accomplishment was so well received

by the scientific community that the
Condor now holds a prestigious place: in
history, hanging next to the Wright Bros.'
"1903 Flyer" and Lindbergh's "Spirit of
St. Louis"" in the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington.
When Kremer decided it was time for a
second; more taxing test of human ingenuity and creativity -a 23~mile crossing
of t he English Channel from England to
France by a human~powered aircraft MacCread y ·was ready to accept that
challenge also. In 1979, he led a team
which built the Gossamer A lbatross, a
more sophisticated version of its prede~
cessor, Condor, that successfully completed the CTossinll in 2 hours and 49 minutes. Flown by b1cyclist Bryan Allen the Condor and Albatross arc similarly
powered by a pedalling apparatus, not
unlike a bicycle's - the Albarro.s not
only made possible the realization of one
of man's long-held dreams, human night,
but also won MacCready and his crew
another S213,000 and even more fame
than their first historical accomplishment.

Enpn- of !be cmtury
Since 1979, MacCready has been designated Engineer of t be Century and Inventor of the Year, and bas been awarded tbe
Collier Trophy, the Reed Aeronautical
Award, and the Longstreth Medal - aU
prestigious in the field of aviation. His
work with the Gossamer series of aircraft
has also been lcatured on Public Television's NOVA series and a dramatic movie
of the Channel CTOSStng bu been seen on
TV by just about everybody.
Besides the Gossamers' success, MacCrcady's personal background is a long
list of aeronautical accomplisbmc:nu and
indicates a ~ng creative ability. At
the asc of I 2, hiS ouutanding model airplaoc building led to bis establishing
many :~ational championship records for

Asked bow be first became: fascinated
with Oyiuc. MacCready related that it
was a 1930"s""""""'lofasailplaneftyina
over Elmira. N.Y. (the bot-bed of sail-

planina and gliders, according to MacCrcady) that got bim hooked . " When I
saw that beautiful sailplane just sliding
alonJ it rcally stuck in my mind and I
knew I wanted to do that."
·
And do that be did. In 19411, be pioneered high altihlde wave soarina with a
Right to an incredible height of 29,SOO
feet. One can just ima&amp;ine wbat it must be
like to be alone at lbe controls of an aircraft ia thallituation. Wdl. MacCready
said, it'l aU a - - of preparation and

there is atwa:rs concern for safety and the

that altitude I prepared with parachute

trained at lower bcights. If you'R careful,
soaring is aaually safer than h&amp;Yi"' au
eqine. Still, you do sometima realize
that you're sittiq in an ain:nlf\ made of
little pieces of wood and plastic:. •

He bad to pay off a debt
As for his involvement in the area of
human powered aircraft, MacCready
revealed that if it were not for his obligation to pay off a deceased relative's debt
ofSIOO,OOO - he was the co-signer on a
loan - he probably would not have even
tried it. Said MacCready, "I bad read
about some small attempts in England
with human-powe-red ~ire raft and I knew
of the Kremer prize. bu~ before that
Summer of 1976 I had no idea that it
could really be done. When I inherited
the SIOO.OOO debt. though, I staned to
think about the prize money more often
and this gave me a different perspective.
so to say ...
That summer. as he and his famil y were
traveling across the country, and as he
mulled over the idea of coming up with all
that money, MacCready made some
obsenlations that turned out to be the key
to developing a real human-powered air~
craf1. MacCready's interest in soaring
and gliders led him to observe the soaring
behavior of various birds along his fami~
ly's travel route. With a little help from
his family in spotting and obscrvmg the
birds, he hit upon what was to be tbe
eventual solution to the Kremer puu.le:.
"I studied the bank angle and the time
it took for theSe soaring birds to make a
turn (using a wristwatch) and with some
outside data for each of the birds' wing
loadin' I was able to calculate the lift
coeffictentl was look in&amp; for. That's when
I realiT.ed that I could make an analogy to
aircraft in that if you kcept~ weight of the
plane at ·a rpjnimum while increasing iu:
size. say J-fold that of a standard glider,
you can thepdecrease the amount ofhor~
sepower needed to power il. The basic
idea was so st~:aightforward that I knew
it could work." Well. the rest is history.

He doanl accept barrlen
Asked about the power of posi!ive thinking as an aspect of the creative and innovative ability he bas demonstrated, MacCready agreed it is imponant but also
suggested that you have to remain real is~
tic. "You canl dq positive thinking if
what you want to do i.s unattainable. You
can have aU sorts of positive th inking and
get nothing accomplished if it's physically
impossible. But I do think that not
accepting the lids and barriers that we
perceive to be there is very imponant. In
fact. our schools and our culture have
been taught to be right and to avoid criticism. That's a hindrance to real lea rning
as well as to learning how to approach
things differently." As for the Kremer
prizes, MacCready said, "The combination oftbe money a nd the rules were j ust
achievable and that, along with Kremer's
own imagination. is what I call real
creativity."
This philosophy of not letting barriers
stand in one's way wu no more apparent
than at MacCready's multi-med1a presentation to the University Monday night
in Knox 20. His lecture, called "From
Impractical Vehicles to Practical Concepts, Minimum Energy Flight: Human
and Solar Powered Aircraft." was a
laugh-filled two hours that a packedhouse audience thoroughly enjoyed .
MacCrcady re-traced the cvenu and personal background that led to bisattempu
at the Kremer prizes, usingastide presentation laced with his dry humor. Excerpu

Comic 'Concord' stars.unpretentious actor
By ANN WWTCHER
itting pretty in Concord, Mass-., is
corrupt, old lecherous Judge
Adam. He's rio fan of j ud icial propriety. The s&lt;H:alled jurist is a thoroughgo.ing slob. a fun-loving pagan who
rides roughshod over his stem puritan
neighbors. Against the backdrop of a
straight-laoed New England town, c.
1800, Adam·scourtroom is an exercise in
buffoonery, a huge joke on the poor puritan souls who truck in for ..justice ...
But the biggest joke in Eric Bentley's
Concord. which will ha ve its world premiere Wednesday at H p.m. in the Center
Theatre, is its open secret: in Bentley's
courtroom comedy. the crime has been
committed by the judge himself. The
cri me is revealed in proceedings involving
a broken jug.

S

A loose ada.-.tion of von Kleist
Con&lt;ord is actually a loose adaptittion of
Th ~ Brok~n Ju~ a comic masterpiece by
Heinrich vo n Kle ist~ the ewrly 19th century German dram&amp;list. Bentley, the
world-renowned playwright. critic and
Brecht translator, has written two other
.. Kleist Variations ... or plays loosely
based on works by the German
pla ywright.
Why tamper with ihe play in the first
place? Bentley, who holds the Katharine

somewhat wimpish Raben wants Eve,
aJthough he has given bc'r a sanctimonious
heave-ho. And Cl~rk light, Adam's aide,
is a law-abiding Mr. Clean, although he
clearly is after Adam's job.
Farcical romp
While the play does reflect on such issues
as 17th century puritan fanaticism in
Massachusetts, and has some political
oven ones as we.U, it's ... more of a caper, ...
says Cha rles Clifton, Bentley's assistant,
and full of "farcical romps." Bentley says
Concord relics on ..all the comic evasions" that ocCur when Adam struggles to
keep his cover. There are some very funny
scenes when a shock.e d Judge Walter
grows increasingly increduJous.
Since 1970, Btntley. who made his first
splash in the theatre world as critic and
adapter, has been writing plays. Cont'ord. his latest. has been written
expressly for U/ B and was pubtished in
the October 1981 issue of Dramatics
magazjne. The other .. Kleist Variations, ..
Wonnsu and The Foil of the Amozons.
were produced here in 1978 and 1979,
respectively.
Playing Judge Adam will be the distinguished New York actor Alben Sinkys
(see separate anicle). Others in the cast of
ten include Evan Parry, who plays Clerk
Light ; Patrick Burns as Judge Walter,
and Julie Kittsley Blake as Eve. Set

design is by Gvoiilen Kopani, and costumes have been designed by Esther
Kling. Lighting is by Tom Blancato. Btntley will direct.
Concord will run Wednes~ay to Sunday, through May 2, at the Ce nter Theatre, located at681 Main Stieet. Reservations may be made by calling the
Depanment of Theatre and Dance at
831-3742. Tickets are $5, general admission; and $3, students, senior citizens and
UI B faculty and staff with official I. D.

or New York. actor Alben Sinkys, acting is a matter of
''humanness." nothing more.
nothing less.
' Sinkys, who will pla y Judge Adam in
Wednesday's wo,rld premiere of Eric Bentley's Concord, dislikes any dramatic anifice that prevents an actor from behavi ng
like a human being on stage. The .. human
dimension .. is thus extremely important
to Sinkys, who recently triumphed in
three lead roles with the American Jewish
Theatre; Queeg in The Coine Mutiny
Court Mortia/, Oppenheimer in The

Actually, Bentley sticks closely to Kleist's basic plot, although he does give ita
sligbtly'feminist ending. Also, the U/ B
professor transplants the comedy from a
small Dutch village near Utrecht, to a postcolonial New England town. Bentley says
be chose the New England sening in
order to contrast the area's •background
of puritanism" with Adam, who is seen as
a son of pagan survivor. Also, Bentley\

Great acton ban bad faulty voices
Sinkys bjolieves that •anything that interrupu that flow of humanness between the
audience and the actor is an interference ... Take the voice, for instance. This
reponcr comments on Sinkys' rich,
resonant vocal equipment. He's not wild
about the compliment. The voice~ he contends, should not be given undue attention. "The great actors have bad fault y
voices, .. he says, citing the example of
Marlon Brando, whom Sinkys considers
~the greatest actor of our time ...
Also important to Sinkys. who
received his training at H.B. Studio.
UCLA aod Bosto,o University, is an
actor's complcte9 utter attention to what
is happening around him on stage. He
must "listen" and yes, forget himself.
Sinkys quotes the composer 'Ned Rorem;
·For a person to be beautiful, he bas to bt
unaware of himself." Sinkys says his
responsibility isn't to comment on the
play, but to ~make a moment come aJive
and make it more human ...
Sinkys studies the script very carefully.
reading it once a day, from tbe moment
_ reh~rsals begin. This is not merely to
learn lines. When the play is about to
open, an actor should .. hear everything
that is being said."
Like Bentley, Sinkys ·is a ftnn believer
in the value of discipline in the. theatre. "I
see man as generally weak,.. he says.
He reads a book a week
.
Sinkys doesn' read plays (•no play
achieves in paper form what a novel
can"); but he d oes read a book a week,
"always a great book." He talks easily
and extensively about everyone from
Proust to a number of weU-known .. overrated" actors including Richard Bunon
and Helen Hayes. While there are
.. mediocrities, .. in his view, like Li v
Ullmann and the late Spencer Tiaey, he
does admire Marilyn Monr""' Vanessa
Redgrave (someone said directing her is
"like driving a Rolls Royce," notes Sinkys), Maureen Stapleton, Elizabeth Taylor (a great actress), Roben De Niro and
John Gielgud and Oli vier in certain roles.
While Jane Fonda is "'a great actress ...
she's "such a chintzy person .. . dedicating
her life to tummy tightening."
For Sinkys, the chief function of the
theatre is not ...to educate/' but ..to
amuse." (By this, he doesn' necessarily
mean comedy, but that which is dramatically uplifting. In this sense, Sinkys is
"amused" by BecketL.);!e loves the work
of Williams and O'Neill and considers
lonesco •a great playwright." In line with
his belief that theatre should be human,
Sinky~ holds that the actor must "make
himself smaller. •

asked the question before. In a mock

..even a threaL One cannot surpass him,
perhaps one cannot even match him, but
one can respond to

Pilate in Bentley's own M~moirs of Pontius Pilau.
A man of obviously fierce intelligence,
Sinkys studied with the noted actor and
director Herben 8e1'ghof, a student, in
turn, of Max Reinhardt, the renowned
Austrian-born theatre director. It was
Reinhardt's simple belief, says Sinkys,
that •people should act like people on
stage."

Macbeth unaetable!
Why is Macbeth unactable? People try to
reach heights that they ba ven' reached
themselves. Sinkys quotes Oli vier: "In
order to play Macbeth, one has to be
married 20 years."
Sinkys' other credits include; Givola in
Brecht's Arturo Ui at tbe Hartman

e are confronted today
with a situatio n of imbal~
ance. Tens of millions of
people are exposed daily
to exhortations about religion and the
Bible. Fundamentalist preachers and
missionaries claim that the Bible's
teachings arc literally true~ divinely
inspired. and the Ultimate source of
human salvation ....
So opens the latest of UI B Professor
Paul Kurtz's declarations, • A Call for the
Critical Examination of the Bible and
Religion," which has been signed by a
group of scholars fro m across the
country. Kurtz, the well-l&lt;nown.humanist
spokesman who bas taken on - and been
vilified by - fundamentalist groups
across the country, feels that political use
and misuse of biblical writings pose a real
threat to American freedoms.
Tomorrow·s opening of a conference
on "Science, the Bible and Darwin" will
find the issues surrounding the proper
roles of science and religion in a free
society examined by a distinguished
group of biblical scholars and s_:ientists.
Tbe lassault on free inquiry'
Kun z, who organized the conference.
said it will focus attention on ... the assault
on free inquiry in universities and public
schools."
The conference will be the major North
American commemoration of the
centennial of the death of Charles R.
Darwin on April 19, 1g82. Darwin is a
controversial figure even now, 100 years
later. Kurtz feels that the danger of
religious intolerance breaking down
academic and political freedoms is as real
today as it was in Darwin·s time.
"The battle against the creationist
movement is not over, .. says the author of
the first article on that movement,
published in TM Humanist in I 977. "The
. controversy over whether or not
creationism should be taught in science
courses in the public schools continues.
To aceede to the demands of the
, creationists would undermine science."
~
Darwin is .. one of the heroic figures in
the history of science," Kurtz maintains.
"Many of Darwin's original hypotheses have been replaced or modified," he
notes, "'and one can disagree with Darwin
on how evolution occurs. But the fact
that it occurs is strongly supported by the
evidence. We are in his lasting debt
because he l!rought the hypotheses of

evolution to science."'
'Wronc' on several co&amp;mts
Fundamentalists are wrong not only in
their interpretation of scientific evidence
and theories but also in their use of the
scriptures, Kurtz argues.
.. We submit that it is necessary to ...
question the validity of the Bible, openly
and publicly," reads Kurtz's recent
declaration. "'There is a rich tradition in
biblical scholarship, which includes
studies in comparative religion, folklore,
archaeology and literary analysis. These
disciplines have scrutinized tbe claims of
the Bible (whether interpreted literally or
metaphorically) and tbe methods used to
compile the biblical record have been laid
bare.
"The Bible has literary value and it may
indeed be a source of moral inspiration,"
the statement continues, ..but it is, in the

Biblical criticism has been published in
serious philosophical and theological
jqurnals, Kurtz points out, but these are
generally unava ilable to the general

Ground Zero Week will
attempt to educate us
about the nuclear peril

the world. Demonstrators have
massed in majorcitiesofalmost
aU the western nations to
express their alarm that the wor1d powers
hAve brough1 humankind 10 Ihe brink of
the ultimate horror - nuclear holocaust.
A coalition of groups on more than 350
campuses across lhe U.S. have declared
April 18-25 as Ground Zero Week.
~uring which even.S will be staged 10
educale lhe public about the dangers
facing the world.
Fred Snell, spokesman for the U/ 8
chapler of United Campuses to Pr&lt;:ve nl
Nuclear War (UCAM). said I he week is
""a nonpanisan educational endeavor for
communities to try tO educate people
about the consequences of nuclear war
and the futilily of the nuclear anns
buildup."

A

Name for detonation po.int
The phrase "ground zero" iiSCif is
the name for the point of detonation of a
nuclear weapon. Anti~war activists point
out th"at in the case of a nuclear war
.. ground zero'" could refer to most of th~
plane!.
Tied in with tbe objections to policies
thai lead 10 war ar&lt;: elfons to oppose
Reapn"s massive mililary build-up and
Olber budgewy policies.
"The military buildup bleeds most
of lhe country_" Snell poinled OUL
It wtU have an effect on aU socialllfoups

inlroduced to Congress. It is opposed lo
the Jackson/ Warner_ resolution, suppaned by the Reagan administralion,

which calls for an eventual cutback on
nuclear wea~ns but not until a ••-window
of vulnenbility" is sealed.
""Reapn wants to continue to work to
become equal with. the Soviets before
adoptina a freeze." Snell s1a1ed . --we
think that an immediate freeze 1s
mandatory from all standpoinlS economic: and sccurily - and !hal it islhe
only thin&amp; that makes sense."

RobinSon
Black pharmacist
helps U I B school
1ecruit minorities

"I

By WENDY. AR NDT H UNT

t 'S easy t o identify with a Magic
Johnson, because you can imitate
him. But you ca n\ play with
drugs, bec_ause t hey are real,"
says Lester Rob1nson, J r., a Black
phar mac ist who's helping minority
students- recognize pharmacy as a career
choice.
From the time he was in elementary
school, Robinson, now 35. knew he
wa nted to be a ph·armacist. But in second
grade, he didn\ lm ow the title t hat
descri bed his professional idol. When his
teacher asked him what he wanted to be
when he grew up, the youngster from the
Ellicott D istrict a nswered, ""I want to be
like the man on the corner." ... You mean
the pharmacist?" h is teacher queried him
about the ma n who worked in t he corner
drugstore.·
.. I was a lways curious abou t what that
man behind t he counter was doing, ..
Robinson recalls.
He had no role models. Even today,
there a refewer than 10 Black pharmacists
in Buffalo.
But now t hat he is doing w.hat he
always wa nted to do - Ro binson, a 1969
Howa rd Uiliversity graduate, is currently
em ployed at Brooks Drugs in Central
Park Plaza - be's helping introd uce
ot hers to his profession.
He's helped recruit st udents for 12 years
For the past 12,ycars, because U1B ask.cd _
him to motivate high school students to
co nt~m r late careers in pharmacy,
Ro bmson has guest lectured during
career days sponsored by local high
schools. He outlines his responsibilities
before detaiti ng the required education.
He mentions that a degree in pha rmacy.
however, doesn \ tim it· gradua tes to
co mmunity pharl!lllcy. One or his
younger female cousins, he points out,
-used her pharmacy degreeto get a job as a
sales rep~ntallve in Buffalo for a
pharmaceutical company. And one of his
younge r m~le cousins - now a physicia n
- used hiS degree for acceptance into
medical school.
. Robinson emphasi1:es that those
I n ter~ ted in pharmacy must co ncentra te
on the sciences and math -duri ng high
sc_hooL He trie s to d is pe l thei_r
m1sconoeptions a bout the difficulty of
these subjects.

says. don't have the time.J.o bc~r

people to show them their empl
ent
options and tell them what !bey
t do
academically to plan for the ir individual
fu tures.
Because Robinson knew he wanted to
major in pha rmacy in college, he
prepared himself while- a student at
Hutch inso n-Central Technical High
School. He says too few minority students are exposed early enough in their
lives to careers such as his.
Few Blacks enrolled
l)lat is why he believes few B la~ks &amp;nter
pharmacy as a profession. In 1980. oft he
21,628 st udents in pharmacy schools
across the United States. only 945 were
Black. Only 36 were Native American ·
a nd 469 Hispa nic.
Duri ng its 96 years or history, the
School or Pharmacy a t UI B has
gradua ted only fo ur Black students and
one H ispanic. No Native ' American has
ever received a degree in pharmaCy here.
Because this must be changed, said
assista nt dean Dr. Robert Cooper. efforts
to recruit a nd retain minorities are being
made today via a S88.348 grant from the
Department or Health a nd Hu man
Services.
This program is expected to double t he
number of minority st udents majoring in
pharmacy at UI B wit hin three years;
triple it withi n six years.
Id entifying and recruiting Black.
Native A merican a nd H ispa nic st ude nts

in their last year
or high school or
their first two
years in coUege is
the goal or the
first phase of the
three-year pr9-gram. Once tne
st u dents are
enrolled at
B,
the second pliase
will concentrate
on preparin·g
them to enter the
School or Pharmacy. Helping
them to g~dua­
tion is the intent
or the third
phase.
The five pharmacy professors who wiU advise and
tutor these students are Dr. Cooper,
chairman or the P harmacy Department
and project director; D r. Daniel Murray,
dean orthe School or Pharmacy; Dr. Leo
Fedor, associate professor of medical
chemistry; Dr. Wayne Anderson, professor of medicinal chemistry; an d Dr.
Roben Gumtow, assistant professo r of
pharmaceutics.

Previous efforts not too successful
Between 1970 and 1975. Dr. Cooper said:
all five Ul B health sciences schools used
gra nt money to actively recruit
mi norit ies. U/ 8 sponsored summer
programs on campus to introduce

inte~1ed students to the University.
offer them skill-building courses, and
acquaint them with role models. ...
During this time. 41 minority students
entered New York State insti tutions of
higher learning as pre-pharmacy majors.

pharmacy program. One graduated from

SC1ENTIFIC THEMES
IN STAINED GLASS
By MARY liETH SPINA

hose who have become conditioned to expect sta'incd glass
works to be synonymous with
bird, floral or religious motifs
are in for a refreshing surprise in an
exhibit currently on display at Alamo
Gallery in Beck Hall.
There, they11 find a dozen works by
talented anist-&lt;lentist Dr. Karen Flynn·
Miller who bas turned to the Organic
imagery revealed by the electron microscope as a take-off point for her work in
glass.
Flynn-Miller successfully blends the
vibrant gradations of color and visually
interesting whorls and bubbles or
handblown sheet glass with lines and
shapes suggested by the landscape
normally seen only through the
microscope.
.
Her striking "Homage to Golgi," a 27"
x 36" rectangle, for example, incorpor·
ates a suggestion of the cell structure in
opaque amber and white. The Golgi of
the title refers to an organelle,, whose
linear structure appears between nucleus
and membrane in clear am-ber with slate
gray glass serving as the background.

T

Science only succests
It should be noted that while Flynn·
Miller gets niany of her basil: patterns or
focal points from those suggested in
electromicrographs, they are only
suggestions. Never does she attempt to
faithfull~ reproduce. the organicallyoriginated J&gt;l!.llems of their pans. Both
the colors she chooses and the works:
designs are done from her own anistic
point or view.
A 16" x 22" work titled, "Public Enemy
#l," features brown. irRJU)arly shaped
- pieces or ,.... agtCSSivoely marching
across a pale )'l:llow and variepted
emerald bacqround. and is appr&amp;priately named. The large shapes which
dominate this piece are based upon fat
ceUs as they would appear mapifled
I 50,000 times under the deetron

microscope. To the viewer. the obese
shapes can be related to anything which is
overweight or bulky.
Ail a ngular pattern in another work,
suggested by a developing tooth structure, is rendered in opaque white and
brown glass surrounded on three sides by
green sprinkled with red, orange and
emerald drops. It is one ofthe few works
on exhibit which is not for sale. It can
usually be admired at 4510 Main SL in
the office of Flynn-Miller's husband , Dr.
William A. Miller, professor of oral
biology at UJB.
or all Flynn-Miller's biologically·
oriented creauons. the most eye--catching
is aptly named. " Eye of the Beholder. •
This 31" x 36" rectangle is dominated
by an irregularly rounded sun- or eye-like
pattern in deep red to orange glass fading
to amber, and surrounded by a jagged
nimbusofmorethan IOOdark brown and
red-orange pieces. Medium blue clear
glass encircles pan oflhe·bollom or the
"eye, • meeting the lower portion of the
nimbus. The total design is reminiscent of
a sunburst bui in reality was suggested by
the eye or a guinea pig.
-Qther selections in tbe exhibit not
suggested by organic patterns include
"Red Drops," heavy red glass drops atop
cascading, bubbled ·clear glass, and
.. Fragments,"' a circular piece which
incorporates gray and milky opaque
patterns dominated by am.ber.
She started in the mediuiJIIWo yean •10
Flynn-Miller, who roceived the B.A. ·in
an atBuffalo State and the D.D.S. from·
U/ B,tumed to stained glass as a medium
two years ago.
The basic tools l&gt;f this serious anist's
work aie relatively inexpensive - a
light box, glass cutters. soldering iron and
COP!'C': foil. the latter used for extra
Oextbility in the linear asJ!CCIS of the
finished works.
But the materials she chooses are not
inexpensive. The special solder is not
cheap. And she shuns rolled sheet glass in
favor or. considerably more expensive

blown sheet gloss.
· "Rolled sheet glass is too un iform in
texture and color. while the blown variety
is full of shadings and textules which
provide greater scope ancj freedom in
creating unusual designs,· she says. And
the colors in 'the blown glass number
more than 100. Delicate etchings which
appear on the red-orange ..eye"' and some
of the other pieces are made with a
standard dentist's handpiece.
To create, Aynn-MiUer takes a basic
design - suggested by patterns from
electromicrographs or by her own
imagination - and makes a pattern.
Cutting tbe pieces· of glass, she arranges
them as she goes, creating as she works.
She forms u-shaped channels around
each piece or glass with the copper foil,
then carefully solders connecting sections
together. The lines produced by the
solder are created as mucb for their
artistic contributions to the final work as
for the practical reason or holding the
pieces together.
•
Freedonl of desip
She prefers the copper-foil/ solder
combination to leaded materials used by
others. It, like the blown sheet glass,
allows her greater freedom or design and
frees her to "paint" using glass rather
than a palette.
While Flynn-Miller practices dentistry
once a week in a clinic near Rochester,
her work as a serious artist takes up much
of her time. The Millers' spacious home
in the city allows her the luxury or an
entire floor ror her studio.
"When working with stained glass you
need lots or room.· she points out.
In addition to the glass works featured
in the BeCk Hall exhibit (most of which
are for sale), Flynn-Miller also accepts
commissions. These desians are original,
usina colors as desip elements, as are
the others - but may complement a
particular decor in home or off'ICC. '
The stained glass works. products of
her creativity and talent. at once
transcend the trite and delight the eye.O

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

onstruction of Follett's Bookstore on Paroel B will be
underway this week,-bookstore
and UI B Foundation representatives report.
Cowper Construction Co. which has
the contract to build the $1.25 million
structure has already moved its
construction trailers and portable johns
from the recently completed Center for
Tomorrow to tbe bookstore site: A
buildina permit wu to have been issued
by the Town of Amherst pr!Y this week.
ADCI Follett's wu &amp;rralllPDl! for a heavyduty, sec:ured sign announcina the
project, replacing a first, bastily-.:rected
· sign which was promptly ripped ofT by
unknown vandals.
The bookstore project - which bas
taken more than five years to move from
idea to reality - is expected to be
completed by mid-August of tbis year.
The new store could be open for the fall
rush if completion is pushed up t.o tbe
flllt of . Aqust, John Feuerborn,
manager of the Ul B Follett operation,
says. Hthestoreisn' ready by the fnt of
Aupst, the rush will be bandied out of
Parker, with the Paroel B unit opening
later in September. Classes for next
fall lqin August 30.
•we don' want customers in the
buildiaa until it is completely ready," the
~~~&amp;~~qer oays. Nothing from present
opc:rationa will be moved into the new
buiJdiua, Feuerborn reports. AU fiXtures
will be new.

When Follett opens at Parcel B,tbe present Parker store will become strictly a
Health Sciences store (with Chemistry,
Manqementand Architecture materials
probably remaining at Main Street also).
The Baldy store at Ambenl will be
clooed and -the Ellicott unit will be
a convenieoce store with only

strictly

general book and drugstore-sundry

items. Paroell~ will bet he main operation.

The most instantly noticeable feature
of Jbe new store, Feuerborn says, will be
Its greatly-&lt;:xpaoded general or trade
book department. Tbis unit of the
operation will occupy a full 5,000 square
feet, roughly the size of the entire Parker
Hall bookstore and five times larger than
the general book area in the old Squire
Hall store.

The new Bookstore, containing about
22,000 square feet of floor space, will be
about one-third larger than the Center
for Tomorrow at Amherst. The old
Squire store had about 12,000 square f..,t
of space. Two-thirds of the new store will
be devoted to books with the rest going to
supplies, clothina, gifts, drugs and
sundries, and a Post OffiCC branch. Office
space in the building bas been held to a
minimum. Heads of tbe store's thr..,
divisions - texts, general . books and
supplies - will be located on the sales
floor in order to be more accessible,
FeuCrbom points out. The new facility
will enable division managers to
"merchandise properly," he says; it will
also make it possible for Follett's to "go
more into depth" with its stock.
Meanwhile, in response to criticism or.
Follelt 's service a_nd general_ book
offerings raised by some faculty (notably
Prof. Jonathan Reichert of Physics),.
Feuerborn plans to visit Cornell's
bookstore and the Harvard Book Co-oJ1
amona otbera, to pin iJIIi8ht into tbeii
operations. Altboup be bas been at UI B.
only since last June and bas worted for
Follett for bot two yean, the UI B store
manager is a 1Jl16 yean in tbe
book bali-. "tlloa-1 book a,.. in
Squire _, I1ICiiiDa -..._ lJl lpM:e, w
Feuerborn~ 11linp wiD be
better at Ambml. be ,._;-.

He hopes also that overall bookstore
business at the new location will rise weU
above current levels, if not quite
achieving at first the sales volume
enjoyed by the Squire Hall store.
Business is down by 60% this spring
following the Main Street store's move
from Squire Hall to Parker, Feuerborn
reports. To help briDf.&amp;tudents 10 the new
location (which will have a 26-car
customer parking lot), the campus bus
service will introduce a special stop at
Parcel Bin th&lt; fall . The Follett manager
feels certain the new store will attract
business from off~mpus as well, once
word about its stock and services spreads.

Folleu plans a special preview of the
new store for faculty and staff sometime
before the doors formally open. A
ribbon-&lt;:utting and public grand-opening
are also planned.
Follett is financing the building itself,
using low interest bonds floated by the
Amherst Industrial Development Agency. The UIBFCorporation,anarmofthe
Ul B Foundation, is authorized to
develop a series of commercial facilities
on the 15.6 acre Parcel B site bordering
Lake LaSalle, uDder a lease agreement
with the State. Foundation officials
bave long considered a bookstore the
"anchor project" for the development
which eventually is supposed to attract

General Ed will be monitored
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKJ

T

he General Education Commit· ..

tee recently sent a memo to deans
and department chairs outlinin.g
proposed procedures for ex post
review of.GE courses and the "quality of
instruction they rcnect ...
The memo - which asks for com ments
and suggestibns - proposes a consu ltation system in which depanment chairs.
with notice to their respective deans.

would be asked to provide the following
information each semester: a copy of the

course syllabus and

requirements~

such as

examinations. when necessary. a repon
on the use of writing and / or mathematics

in the course; SCATE teaching evaluations · or those from other sources;

· evaluatjve comments from the instructor,
if provided, and comments from the chair
regarding course quality and teaching

effectiveness.
In addi tion, the GEC will ask the Division of Undergraduate Education for a

grade distribution for all Gcn Ed coOrses
in order to detect unusual ,gradi ng patterns. DUE and Student Association
representatives will be asked to meet with
the Committee at least once a semester to
.. present any evidence in their possession
concerning the quality of instruction in

GE courses.·
Rec:ocnltion for facult y
Based on evaluative feedback. th e Commince will attempt to identify faCulty
who have taught ..outstanding- courses

and will recommend that the President
"provide special recognition of this
achievement."

In the event that teaching deficiencies
or serious deviations from cour:se proposals arc discove red. the GEC will seek
suggestion s for improvement from

respective department chai rs. If a problem cannot be rectified, the Committee
will reserve the right to "reconsider the
appropriateness of the course o r instructor for continuation as part of the- GE
Program.•
•
The review procedure., the memo
notes. "reflects the oeed for review of G E
courses by persons with both departmentaJ and University-wide perspectives and
constituencies .... Final decisions about
what and who will continue to be
included in the program, however, rest
with the Committee. The mem o also
·emphasizes that the Committee did not
beheve it ...desirable"' or ... possible., to
...establish a un ifo rm system of evalua tion
for all General Education courses," given
the various goals and styles of teaching
among participating faculty.
Copies of the memo were sent to President Sample. the Faculty Senate chair
and student represen tati ves Joe Rifk in
and Peter Murphy.

Changes in GE requirements
So far. only two relatively minor changes
in the program have been announced:

one each in Math Skills and Writing
Skills components.
•
In a January 1982memo from the Pres-

idcnt's Office which outlined the Math
Skills Program. a "C" grade or better was
considered pusiog in Math 101 or the
102-107 modules. But in a recent memo
to deans and directors, DUE Dean John
Pcradotto noted that the grade requirement "implies a uniformity of standards
not achievable across courses of such varied colitcnt... Peradotto recommended

that.. until Math 101 and the 102-107
modules reOect a minimum level of compcteocyof incoming freshmen and a new
entrance test is devised that covers the
material in these courses, the .. C .. or bet·
ter passing grade be waived . The target
date for 1his general requirement is

1984-85.
Some areas lack c.ourses

Pcradotto, along with the VPAA and the
Dean of Arts and Letters, has also
recommended that students not be:
allowed to go directly into English 201
unlesS their test scores are high enough to

exempt them from English 101 or placement in the Learning Center.

The DUE Dean told the R•porur that

~e

eour.ses are still needed in the Life

anft. Health Sciences Knowledge Area
and in Physical and Mathematical Scicnccund Technology. The lack of response
from these areas. the Dean believes.
stems from a .. wait and see" attitude
among facuhy and administration. Now

that GE will definitely debut this fall.
including its Math Skills component. the
Dean feels that more faculty will respond

Law Collection
will honor
Morris Cohen
The special/ rare book collection of the
Law Library was officially named the
Morris Cohen Collection by action of the
University Council last mont~ .
Council member Rose Sconiers
offered the resolution to honor Cohen on

behalf of the Council's Building Names
Committee.

The Cohen Collection is a holding of
some 300-400 volumes of books ranging
from English treatises of the 17th century
to American law books of the early 19th
century. A few French, German and
Spanish materials arc represented as are
manuscripts of New York and English
jurists and attorneys . The collection was
begun by Professor Cohen when he was
law librarian at U / 8, a position he held
from 1961-1963. After leaving here, he
became librarian and professor of law at
the University of Pennsytvania Law

School from 1963-1971. He then served
for a decade as law librarian at Harvard
before joining Yale in the same position.
Recognized as a top scholar in the field
of law librarianship, Cohen is currently
compiling an historical bibliography of
American legal materials which has been
recognized a.s .. the cornerstone o~Ameri­

can legal bibliography." He is past president of the American Association of Law
Librarians.
Kathy Carrick, director of the Law
Library, said it i• appropriate to name the
collection after Cohen primarily because
he started it.

Bridge over Ellicott Cree.k will link U /B, Audubon

pring; time of renewal and

man's fancy turns lightly to
thoughts of ... construction. At
least that's where a lot of fancies must be
turning these days around U/ B, with aU
the digging, drilling and bulldozing going
on.
Everyone has~ no doubt , noticed the
new building construction underway on
the Amhent campus. Considering it's
been aoing on, it would seem non-stop,
for nearly 14 yean, iCs been hard to
ignore. · For tb~ witlt. day-to-day

contact with the campus.- fhis )&lt;ind of
construction may by now have lost a
aoOd deal

Just when you'd begun to think yo u'd

Completion of the bridge lin!&lt;, expected
by fall of 191!3, will create a major new

Amherst. While he does not foresee any
significant changes in the traffic patterns
on most campus roads, Neal does
anticipate that increased vehicle usage of
Audubon Parkway will require adjustments to that route's traffic s1gnal system

to properly control the flow.
You may also have noticed a few other
changes taking p.lace along the perimeter
of the Amherst Campus. A new. limited
access entrance from llle southbound

Mo.d el
Dr. Stewart
studies physics
of German lake
· By UNDA GRACE-KOBAS
ake Constance lies in one of the
most beautiful regions of southern Germany. With the towering
peaks of the Alps looming
south of it and bordered by three coun. tries - Germany, Austria and Swit ze rl and - the lake is a major source of
drinking water for millions of people, as
well as being important fo r tou ris m,
transponation and fishing.
But with its international importance
come international problems. The lake
accepts discharges from sewage · treatment plants and runoffs from agricultura l regio ns of the three coUAt ries.
In 1978, Dr. Kent on'S tewan of Biological Sciences became the first American
scientist awarded a grant by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (D FG), an offi.
cial funding agency equivalent to the U.S .
National Science Foundation. The object ive of his three-year proj ect, funded with
approxi mately S28,000, was to determine
circulation patterns in the lake under
varyi ng inflows and wind conditions.
..The German government wanted to
have a better understand ingt&gt;f the physics of the lake," he commented. "They
needed to und erstand the ci rculat ion
patterns of the la ke both for fisheries and
for maintai ning good water quality...
Stewart became involved in stud yi ng
Lake Constance through his association
with Dr. E. Hollan, a German ocea nographer whom he met while on sa bbatical
eight years ago at the Max Planck lns ti~
tute for Limnology. Both were studyi ng
volcanic lakes in southwest Germany and
have since continued their association
through a stud y of Lake Constance. Ste·
wa rt feels he was awarded the gra nt by
the DFG largely beca use of the University's 12 ~ -ton rotating laboratory facility
in the Department of Civil Enginee ring.
Ralph Rumer of CE a nd Kenneth Kiser
of Chemical Engineering have utilized
the lab for model studi es of La kes Erie and Onta rio.

Stewan ~lained . "It may plunge under

There IS a undersea waterfall where the
Alpenrhem nters the lake. locally known
as the Rh "nbrech ("where the Rhine

Stewan's
el si mulates the major
inflows of the La e by pumping water into
one end of the ~odel using hydraulic
pumps.
''The ve rsa tility o the model is demonstrated by the fact t at we can simulate in
two minutes and 10 seconds what would
take the real lake a day to do, .. he pointed
out. This way. the researchers can study a
month's circulation pattern very quic ldy.

were able to study just what forces affect
the circulation patterns of the lake.
"'We found that the major driving forces for circulation patterns are winds and
inflows ... Stewan commented . .. Withdrawal of the water for dri nking supplies
seems to have relat ively little impact on

Ice may have caused loss of tiles on space shuttle

.
T

By MILT CARLIN
he loss of heat-shield tiles by the
U.S. space shuttle Columbia
could be caused by ice formations.
This theory was c-ouched upon
Tuesday (March 30) at a Cold Regions
Engineering Conference here. The conference was conducted, by coincidence,
on tne same day the spacecraft landed
safely in New Mexico after an eight-day
mission~ minus about three dozen of its
ceramic heat-shield tiles.
Guenther Frankenstein of the Cold
Regions Research and Engineering
Laboratory(CRREL)at Hanover, N.H .,
told the gathering of about 80 cold
regions researchers and engineers that a
fellow researcher at the lab, George Ashton, was looking into the possibility of icc
caqsing the heat insUlators to break away
during flight. The Columbia also lost tiles
during two previous missions.
Ashton, an international authority on
ice jams and nopding. also spoke at the
conference, but failed to mention his
interest in the beat-shield problem. l:fowever, be mentioned in convenation that
he believed that the troublesome ice
formed on the space vehicle while it was
on the launch pad as moisture in tbe air

co ndensed and froze near the shuttle's
cryogenic (low temperature) fuel cell.
The conference itself was far-ranging
as experts in various fields- presented the
latest information on such subjects as
snow removal a.nd road problem.s, cold
weather construction needs, winter navigation~ ice jams, the effects of ice on generating"" electricity and environmental
considerations.
There Is somethin&amp; to be done
Ashton explained, in an interview. that
growing awareness on the pan of the public to problems caused by ice is a major
factor in the development of cold regions
engineeri)lg as a science.
"People used to say, 'lt'san act of God:
there's nothing we can do about it', .. Ash~
ton commented . ... Now, people are payirig
attentio·n to the many problems caused
by ice."

T he President relayed that the DOB

uses head count instead of credit hours in

an FTE-based formula . Another change
was the introduction of the so-called 40cell Matrix to the budgeting process. a

Clinic
Dental frosh give
exams at Deaconess
each Saturday
By MARY BETH SPINA

he Saturday visit to the brightly
decorated cheerful Deaconess
Hospital Dental Clinic was a
"first" for the slightly apprehensive five~yea r-old who had never been to
the dentist before.
For the gray-haired grandmother in
the next cubicle, it was her firs t dental
visi t in 20-odd years.
·
After _m ore than an hour apiece, they"d
had thetr blood pressure taken, undergone thoro ugh dental and oral examinations, had their teeth X-rayed and
cleaned and learned how to brush a nd
floss properly.
Their visits cost them nothing - the
service was provided free, thanks to a
group of fres hman stud ents at the U/ B
School of Dentistry.
Organized by sophomore students
Audrey Stack-Crestol and Paul Sutera
and supervised by UI B and Deaconess
dentists, the Saturday Preventive Den tis-·
try Clinic has a waiting list of some 300.
During February and March 70 patients
ranging from three-year-olds to the
elderly were ellamined and served by a
pool of 10 freshman students per week.

Cleaninc and education
.. We don't warehouse our patients, .. says
Sutera . .. Each patient spends about an
hour and one-half in the dental chair a nd
receives a comprehensive examination,
clea ning and education on preventing
dental problems... Prior to the examination, the dental students take a physical
history of each patie nL
Although no dental treatment is rendered, patients with existing or potential
problems are referred to either the U/ 8
or hospital-based clinics or to their own
private practitioners.
When the word went out through the
local media about the free clinic, which
meets only on Saturday mornings
through April, the students were surprised at the avalanche of callS.
.. In fact ," SBY,S Ms. Stack-Crestol.
.. we're still getting them...
The future dentists arc pleased at the
public's response.
"It shows people are payi ng more
attention to their oral health,... says
Sutera.
Most of the Saturday Clinic's clientele
are those who for economic reasons can "t
fit a dental visit into their budget. Some
come with their entire families and many
have been victims of layoffs at local
plants and businesses.

They have found the U/ B students
friendly, enthusiastic, thorough and most
importantly - competent.
.. During the freshman year, the students have the opportunity to provide
only about three patients with the preventive care they're providing at the Clinic, ...
says Sutera. Consequently when the
volunteers enter their sophomore year,
they,l be armed with a great deal more

self-confidence a nd experience in dealing
with patients than they wou ld otherwise.

In addition, there have: been very few

.. On Friday nights. we call the patients
who ha ve appointments for Saturday. If
a patient tells us they can"t come in as
planned then we go to the waiting Jjst ....
Sutera says.
While there is an obvious educational
advantage to participalion in the Clink
for"the students. there's also a feeling thar
they've helped people who might not
have gotten the service olherwise .
Sutera and Ms. Stack-Crestol have
also been impressed by the willingness of
the students. Dr. Terrence Thincs and
other UI 8-Deaconcss dentists to give up
their Saturday mornings to give their
time to the project.

A

the foreign student in American

colleges and universities was
presented to the Universi ty Friday as pan
of a day-long conference focusing on the
Future of Educatio.n.
The worbhop was keynoted by John
F. Reichard , executive vice president of
the National Association for Foreign
Student Affairs (NAFSA), who stressed
the importance and need for a plan or
..explicit rationale~ (or foreign stude~t
education in this country. That need 1s
even more appa.rent today , said
Reichard, because of the amount of
attention focused on foreign students
here since the iranian crisis. "'The Iranian
experien~

as well as the deep budseting
problems in higher education today have
been 's ignifica nt in creating the

Qeginnings of a serious assessmen~ of

ifttemational education. State

leg~sla ·

tures have become more aware of foreign
students because of this and now we have

all kinds of talk about it in Washington,"
he said.
Why foreicn students are here
Reichard feels the new a warcness has
brought the question of goals and
planning into the forefront of international education, and that higher
ed ucation administ rators. counselors and
advisors need to speak ou t about the
place. of forei~n st udents in our system.

suggested.
Also speaking ab~ut standards was
Gail Markham, a foretgn student adVIsor
at SUNY/ Binghamton. Agreeing 'with
Reichard Markham views the confusion
and bad press surrounding foreign
student education as indicative of a lack
of policy. She said, "As counselors, we
are aware rather quickly of the needs and
~ concerns of foreign students in this
country. but not having any set goals or
policies can only lead to confusion... ·

associate director of the Comparauve

WE ARE ALL FUTURISTS
'

he future is an integral aspect of
the human condition, Magda
Cordell McHale believes.
wwe have survived unique-ly," she notes, "by our capacity to act in
-the present on the basis of past experience
considered in terms of future conse·
quences. By assuming a future, we make
our present endurable and our past
meaningful. Pasts, presents and their
alternative futures interweave in the
anticipation and prediction of our future
actions ...
McHale was one of three panelists with
eyes on tomorrow who keynoted a daylong campus conference on the future of
education attended by-some 300 student
affairs professionals and high school
guidance counselors during spring break.
Prof. Russell Stone of'the U 1B Sociology
Department and William Conroy,
assistant director of housing here, shared
the podium with McHale.
" Predicting the future is no longer the
business of utopians or lunatics.""
McHale told . the group. Those who,
talked about mterplanetary travel were
once called lunatics, but they are now
known as space scientists, she pointed
out.
~ .. Governments and industries alike,
cqmmitted_ to long-range pr9grams of the
most vaned nature, fl!ld they are
increasingly foreed to think not orily-of
the next 10 or 20 years ahead, but of the
next 50 - or even the next. 100 years,"
McHale emphasized.
.. To send a manned space vehicle to the
moon requires that work on the project .
be started many years before; other
pro_grams reguinng long-range coordinauon aod development demand similar
efforts."

T

We are aU futurists
The pattern"ofadesired future that we as
individuals want in our lives, in our work,
and in our universities is based on our
commitments t.o a future action,"'
McHale said. "'In a sense, we are all
futurists or should -be."
The next 50 yean may be the most
crucial in all our history, she noted. "'Yet
we have few guides to foUow and almost
no usable prececleau. All our previously
local actions have been maanified to
planetary acale. The knowledge with
whieb we mi&amp;bt make the correct
decisions is barely 14equate - yet our
gross Cf!Ors may be perpeJrated for many
genera bona.
·"The future of the future," she said, is
shaped "not only by what may be possible
or probable in economic, technological,
or sociopolitical let:DIS, but also by what
we ., individuals deem necessary,
allowable and ultimately desirable, in
human terms. •
·

Turning to education, McHale called
the past a prologue rather than a
blueprint for tomorrow: "'We know what
happened in the 60s to education, we
know that students were against the
system, were dropping o'Ut and turning
on. We also know that the universities
were on the front line of a number of
issues which sharpl y divid ed society. In
retrospect, they were expansive a nd
heady days .... Twent y years later we
have different problems. We are more
concerned and have to defend not only
the allocation of 'dollars' but education
itself."
Dismi~sing dire predictions about the
drying up of the pool of consumers for
education, McHale contended that
although the traditional college-age
population in the U.S. isshrinking, there
is no cause for alarm. People from
troubled areas throughout the world will
come to the U.S.; professionals will have
to be re-educated . "Students will be of all
ages, aU walks of life, from the you ngest
child to the oldest person. We at the
universities will be very busy ...

What we learn will chan'•
What people need to learn will change,
too, McHale said - or at least our
perceptions of education will. UEdu.cation
should have as
its prime objective, the communication of
the potential
unity of knowledge as it relates to human
values, purposes
and goals," she
suggested. Static
divisions of subject matter will
have to go.
"Subject imperialism" must
give way to
...not just inter. disciplinary but
integrative or
transdisciplinary
ways of thinking and teach·
ing." Learnins
what is known
will give way to
learning to
team ... that is,
learning the ..._ _...-....
means of finding out what
one. needs to
know when Lhe
need arises -

a nticipato ry education ....
The disciplines will change, too. Ms.
McHale ventured . " There is already a
perceptible trend toward more hybrid
disciplines as lines of conceptual inquiry
focus on common areas and as social
needs demand .more compound fusions
of fields ." Assessments of the implications and consequences of large..scale
scientific and technological activities also
demand new disciplines, she pointed out.
Information revolution
We are undergoing an Information
Revolution, McHale said - a change as
significant in its turn as was the First
Industrial Revolution . The computer.
the satellite and the LSI chip are
wizardries that rival Lhe wheel, the plow
and the steam engine as economist Marc
Porat has put it.
The Knowledge Industry has to be
~evolutionized apace, McHale said . ..At
present, we are distributors/ consumen
of education. In the future, we will have
to become producers ... Education may
move from a service-oriented industry to
a goods-oriented one. For instance.
companies all over the world have their
own schools to retrain and refashion their
own professional staffs. RecOrded
proceedings of conferences are sold on
cassettes. In England, one of the biggest
money rna kers
in re&lt;:ent years
was the open
university package they exponed in the
late 60s and
70s . Educational institutions have done
little of this,
McHale criticized. They can
do it, though,
and generate at
the same time
""money that we
cannot obtain
from actustomed sources
in order to suivive tight
money periods."
The larger
function of all
lcamin&amp;~

McHale 1a1d,
"is not merely ~to .......
to produce more,

to control the

tion but simpl y to learn to ~human . In
other words to learn how to become pro-fessional human beings ....
Clodine student coneems
Sociologist Russell Stone suggested that
one way to study the future is to ask
students what they want to know about it
and see what changes arc foreshadowed
by those interests. Personal and lifestyle
concerns. he said. dominate students~
interests in the future - not global
concerns.
Ten years ago, )le reported, his
stuCieots were interested in alternatives to
marriage: communes, oPen marriages,
and changed roles for women. Overtime,
though, he"s detected a shifL More
students now want to talk about divorce,
and the impact of divorce on children.
In the early 70s, the work ethic was out
of vogue. Students tended to reject
existing career patterns and were highly
critical of the concept of "'you are what
you do. " They were into alternatives to
work, preoccupied with satisfaction in
life activities, with going back to the land.
Today, they are concerned with the
future of work, with unemployment and
the inability to get work.
By the same token, a consuming
interest in the social studies as a means of
changing the world has given way to
concerns over adjusting to that world.
Stone isnl sure why these changes have
occurred. Perhaps some of the futureoriented concerns of a decade ago are
now aspects of everyday life and no
longer loom in the future. Perhaps there
are less pressures to conform than there
were a decade ago. One thing is clear
though: concerns about the future are
complex and inter-related.
William Conroy, uaociate director of
housin&amp; at Uf B, obaervin&amp; that those
who claim knowledge of the future have
traditionally been connected to the devil,
urged student penonnel administrators
to nonetheless tak.e the future into
account when plannin&amp; activities.
Incredible, interlocking interdependencies affect every aituation. he noted.
Tbe widespread phenomenon of student
vandalism, for example, has been found
to stem from boredom, isolation, poor
morale, and overwhelmiD&amp; architecture.
Mit has to be viewed-in context. ~he uqed.
A total ecolop approach ~ re&lt;Juired

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

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

NEEDS IN GRAD EDUCATION &amp; RESEARCH

.
A

t the time of the
· merger between UI B
and State University
of New York in 1961, the
University offered 43 doct&lt;&gt;ral programs and 44 master's degree programs with
enrollments of 2,385 students. Graduates in 1962-63
were awarded 37 doctorates ·
and 241 master's degrees. Expenditures
for sponsored research during the year
totaled $5. 1 million.
By contiast, in academic 1979-80, the
University bad 6,307 students registered
in the Graduate School and offered 67
doctoral programs and 77 master's programs. Doctorates awarded in 1979-80
totaled 264; master's degrees, 642.
Expenditures for sponsored research
were more than five times those of 1962,
am&lt;&gt;unti'lg to $26.5 million.
These figures, say the drafters of the
University's self-study repon for the
,u pcoming fall accreditation visit of a
team representing the Middle States
Association, "provide a dramatic mea·
sure of the degree to which the Univer-

sity" has met the mandate inherent in its
merger with SUNY, some 20 years ago,
.. to prosper as a graduate center." The
same statistics also pose concerns and
quCstions for the future . Many of the
concerns have to do with funding - for
research projects, for organized research
units, for graduate Student support. for
facilities. Others call for hard decisions
on pruning and streamlining and urge
reaching out to adults and i·n dustry.
The Middle States self-study, an
impressive six-&lt;:hapter document being
circulated in first draft form this Week to
University administrators and representative constituencies. focuses exclusively
on U/ B's graduate mission in line with
the accrediting agency's relativ~ly recent
change in policy, allowing more sharply
focused ten-yC:ar studies and evaluations.
Focused study
The graduate{ research focus, the drafters
of the current self-study riote, was considered to only a limited extent during the
1972 MSA Accreditation Review. During t~t fint accreditation review of the
. University as a member ~f the SUNY
system, the Unive~ity's primary goal was
defined as to ..continue its evolution
toward becoming one oft he nation's preeminent' graduate and profasiooal cen-

ters with a firm con:imitment to the
advancement of knowledge through
teaching and research in selected academic -and professional -disciplines ....
Other goals were to maintain existing
strengths. strengthen areas of promise,
and develop new areas of future
imponance.
In 1980, both SUNY Central and the
State Education Depanment in their
respective master plans reaffirmed and
gave major priorit y to continued development of graduate and research
programs.
Clearly. says the self-.tudy draft. "we
have had a specific course of action outlined for us. The question in 1982 is how
well are we .geuing on with it. ..
The document is drafted within the
framework of a number of concerns
raised by the 1972 Accreditation Team.
The accreditors of a de~de ago wondered ... how we would fare in the leaner
times of the 1970s, particularly as reprds
increasing the number of our areas of
excellence, providing more adequate
graduate student support, overcoming
facilities deficiencies (panicularly the
library), streamlining our 'bewilderingly
complex' administrative structure; ~limi·
noting needleis duplication of programs,
and phasing out weak or obsolete
programs."

The self-study is limited to those programs which in many universities are classified as the ...artsand sciences."'The reason:
professional procrams are being accredi ted u regular intenals by national professional agencies. something not availa·
ble to traditional academic: graduate
programs.

Ph.D. activity movin1 ahead
How has U { B fared over the past decade
in increasing areas of excellence in &amp;rad·
uate education? The self-study laments
that there has been no up-to-date qualitative national survey such as was available
in 1970 with the publication ofthe American Council on Education's ... Rating of
Graduate Programs" by K.D. Roose and
C.J . Anderson. There have. however,
been 20 reviews of U{ B programs by the
State Education Department, beginning in
1974. In every case, approval was
granted . Only one other institution in the
State, Columbia University, has fared
this well, the self-study notes.
.. Roosc-Anderson .. was confined to a
selected Jist of disciplines al a large
number of research universities across
the U.S. Twenty-two of Uj B's programs
were deemed to be at least adequate at
that time.

In the area of research, the self-study
paints ... somewhat less consistent picture." To U/ B's credit, tbe report relates
that appreciable "internal~ funds are expended for research in the most active
departments, that endowment funds are
heavily used for research support (over60
percent ofthe S2.3 million 1~1 endowment income}, and that a portion of
limited internal funds are channeled in
support of centers and institut.. and of
the highly successful interdisciplinary
Graduate Groups. The self-study also
applauds the granting of some funds to
individual faculty by the U niv.ersity
Awards Program and Conferences in the
Disci plines through the SUNY Research
Foundation, and the awarding of U/ B
Foundation Special Fund Grants.
But "'"financial limitations" are also
pointed out: '"the negligib~ growth rate
of direct SU Y funding of research. the
delays in the building program. the limitations on li bra ry developme nt and
other essential University functions."'
The self-study terms as "quaint" the
fact that there"are no formulae in SUNY
Construction Fund guidelines which
generate space for sponsored research.
Such externally funded employees as
· post~octoral research associates' and
·research technicians· art therefore nonpersons from this point of view. although
they are paid through the SUNY
Research Foundation,"' the report points
o ut with some irony.
Other aspects of the sponsored
research picture ..are also clouded."' the
report finds. "Our total Federal obligations ... have grown steadily over the
decade. but not rapidly enough to maintain our rank among the 'top 100'
research universit ies - we dropped from
61st in 1970 to 82nd in 19&amp;0."
That non-Health Sciences programs
continue to increase their percentage of
the total is called "-encouraging." Faculty
are pictured as increasing effons to
obtain external fund ing only t g meet difficulties imposed by limits on available
Federal resources and the decreasing
value of the dollar.
Orcanlzed research units
The uppermost issue to be solved in the
future. the self-study report agrees with the
graduate-research vice president . is
"establishment of policies governing the
creation, review. and alterationofOrpnized Research Units. " Both State
government leaden and SUNY recognize
these units as important in development
of interdisciplinary research and
advanced traimng of a kind that cannot
be developed optiJ11ally within the
Departmental frarrie:ii6i'lt. 1.he self-study
notes, but U f B baS'ltle lo~est percentage
of any University Cirltrr'~dgete&lt;l for
sucb units - 0.3 per terit vs. I per cent at
Binghamton, 1.5 per cent at Albany and
1.9 per cent at Stony Broolr.. In part, tbe
report concl udes, '"this is a reOection of
our neglecting to develop the necessary
guiding policies for these units."
Such guidelines, they urge, should
be in plape by 1983.
The self-study also concludes that the
University, through the graduate and
research dean has a responsibility for
successful development of regional high
iechnoloay indu.nries . uFrom the
National Con:&gt;mi•ioo on Research's
extensive recommendations oa down to
local research faculty's instincts, the

But when I received the letter saying I was

and yet for the last two years he

for two in nooe other than Aorence,
Italy. U you're at all confused, so was he
at first.
Here's the story: Boone's attempt at
becoming a writer of the likes of
Hemingway is all part of an ingenious
contest sponsored by Harry's Bar .t
Ameriean Grill in Los Angeles. It seems
tbat Harry'!o Bar was not doing so well
about five years ago and the owners felt
tbey needed a gimmick of some sort to get
business on the •right track again - a
~hot-iB-the-aftn, so to say. Harry's
sought out tbe expertise of Grody/ Tellem Communications Inc., a Los
Angeles advertising agency, to see what
they could do. Grody/Tellem soon came
up with a slick ad campaign that seized
upon the historical background of
Harry's Bar .t American Grill - there
was a Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy, in the
1920s and 30s that Ernest Hemingway
often frequented.
Using this t o their advantage,
Grody/ Ttllefn cleverly devised an ad for
a Hemingway writing co ntest that at first
reads like some sort of a joke, thereby
catching the attention and sense of
humor of anyone seeing it. But the prizes
are real: dinner for two in Aorence. Ital y.
Here's pan of the ad taken from the New
York~r magazine:
"Once again, a really good page of really
bad Hemingway could land you and a

"Harry's Bar .t American Grill

not Easy. First you must face The White
Bull. The Whiie Bull That is Paper With
No Words On lt. .. . You write one page of
Imitation Hem ingway. It must sound like

Harry's Bar, nicely. (The Judges admire

in Florence, Italy. We fly the two of you
there. We fly you back. Finito. (This is

Okay?"
ot surprisingly. Boone's initial

impression when reading the ad last year
was a combination of confusion,
skepticism, and interest. He dicfn 't know
what to think of it at first and yet it still
caught his fancy. So, he entered ... and
was chosen as one of onl,Y 22 semifinalists
out of 2300 entries rece1ved by Harry's.
Boone recalls, "When my girlfriend
(now his wife) showed me the N~w
York., ad last year we both just kind of
snickered at it at first . But I kept thinking
about it and just before the deadline I
read Hemingway's n.~ Sun Also Rises to
familiarize myself with his style again and
then I wrote my entry later-that night.:
His entry was a short scene parodying
space relationships something
Hemingway has been noted for.
.. After sending my entry in .... he recalls
further, "I jokingly promised to my
girlfriend that I would take her with me if
I won the competition because I really
didn' believe anything would come ofiL

He's makin&amp; o comeback
Although Boone didn't win the
competition last year, with what he
thought was a good entry, he vowed to
some of his friends tbat he would make a
comeback this year and win. Tbat "if
you don't succeed . .. .... formula ma y
actually have wor)&lt;ed for Boone because
once again he is a semifinalist (2:0 chosen
this year out of 1300 entries) in Harry's
Bar&amp; American Grill's Fifth International Imitation Hemjngway Competition .
Says Boone about his successes,
"When my wife and I wentoverthis year's
entry we both bad our doubts because I
thought last year's was a little bit better
and I dido' win with that one. So, after I
received the letter saying I made it again.
the only thing left that would really
surprise me would he to win the thing." he
added .
Boone felt that if anything hurt his
entry last year it was the absence of a plot.
so this year he just .. borrowed .. one. He
said of his cuhent entry, tiUed "Who's
Afraid of A Big Dead Woll'l", "I got my
idea from James Thurber's 'Fables of Our
Times, 'and Dan Greenberg's 'Goldilocks
and the Three Bears,' two parodies that I
liked ."
Whether or not he wins the dinner for
two in Aorence and all the "immortaJity"'
that goes with such an award (the winner
will he announced next week), Boone
says he is going to put a note about his
bei_ng a two-time semifinalist next to all
his · other accomplishments on his
curriculum vitae.
Boone did undergraduate work in
English and philosophy at the College of
William and Mary (Virginia).

"The power is really in the hands of the

Asked what he thinks about the argument that relaxing standards would

emember when winter's snow covered
everything? Everything, that is, except
the walkways on the Main Street Campus. ·T hese paths were clear and dry. Why?
Space-age technology was not responsible for
this modern miracle. Erase from your mind
images of microchips and space shuttles.
Instead, · return to a simpler time. Visualize, if
you will, the industrial revolution.
It was steam, old fashioned steam, that heated
Main Street Campus classrooms, labs, and offi-ces this winter and winters past. In catacomblike tunnels that criss-cross the old Campus,
steam lines run building to building from Acheson and Parker to Goodyear and Cl_e ment.
Pressure-reducing valves in every building
reduce high pressure stea_m to 8-10 pounds per
square inch. This is just right for room radia. tors. As they dissipate heat, the steam condenses to water, and the water is pumped back.
Back to where?
To the Gerald F. MacKay Power Plant, of
course.Incaseyoudidn'tknow, theMainStreet
Campus has its own power plant. It is located in
a corner of the campus bordering Winspear near
Comstock. The MacKay Plant has gone about its
steam-making business every winter since
1931, providing heat for UIB's buildings and,
ihanks to a little foresight on the part of early
campus planners, melting the snow on campus
walkways.
A MacKay Plant visitor's first sensory
impression is that of sound: the roar of
the boilers. Looking around, one sees a
bewildering array of pipes, valves, and
gauges. Along, the main corridor is a row
of five huge boilers, three of which operate at a time on a cold winter day. The
boilers can bum natural gas, oil, or coal,
though when temperatures are low, coal
is the primary fuel. Cost considerations
dictate coal type: bituminous or soft coal
is used -exclusively. Testing the coal for
sulfur and ash content and the use of a
centrifugal precipitator bold stack emissions to acceptable standards.
De6nred daily
The coa,l is delivered daily by truck. Once
dumped' through a grate in the plant's
garage floG&lt;...! he coal is lifted by buckettype "elevators" up to either the two 15(}ton coal silos or to the 22S-ton coal
"bunker" which is suspended 40 feet in
the air and
the length of the plant'
Combined, these storage areas hold over
500 tons of coal. This may seem like a lot,
but as much as tOO tons of the black stuff
are burned on a cold winter day. Daily
deliveries throughout the winter are a
must. .
From the overhead bunker, gravity
becomes a friendly force . .Coal ~hutes
direct the coal earthward from the
bunker into a holding area in tbe front Qf
each boiler. Mechanical "stokers" with
large moving pislons then push the coal~
into the furnaces at the base of the boilers. Infernos rated at two thousand four
hundred degrees Fahrenheit liberate the
coal's energy; the boilers then harness this
heat to·convcrt water to steam.
Each boiler contains steam "'drums'"
and Jpaghetti-like tubes which speed the

transfer of ~from fire to water. The
resulting steam leaves the boiler at a pressure of 125 pounds per square inch.
ln this conditio~ steam temperature is
350" F., and each pound of vapor contains over IIOOBTU'sofheat. During the
heating season, fro.m late September to
early May, an average of 1,000,000
pounds of steam is produced daily by the
MacKay Plant. This is the energy that
runs through Main Street's underground
circulatory system, keeping us warm on
the col&lt;!est of days.

average. they are about 70% efficient:
about 70% of the heat in the fuel ends up
in the steam as it leaves tht: boilers. This
isn "t bad. considering the age -of some of
the boilers. two of which are origi nals
built over 5Q years ago.
These .. old timers ... still see regular use.
though ten years ago it looked like their
days were numbered. Oddly enough, they
were saved from the scra p heap by a
combination of red tape and the energy
crisis.
Slated for dc:struction in the early seventies, ihe boilers survived through
bureat1CJ11tic inertia until 1~73 when the
Arab ....t.r&amp;o sent oil · slcyroclcding.
Each dollar that oil pJ.:""rose made old
fashioned coal look better and better.
While the old boilers were in need of
work, they at least buA!ed coal - unlike
the newest oil and natural gas boiler
which had just bee'll installed {1972). The
decision to dismantle them was reversed.
Of course, there's no such thing as a
"free lunch." In order to keep the old
boilers operating, a price had to be paid.
It cost the University $100,000 to repair
and update these old units. In fact, repairing older equipment is. a continuous
chore. The thi"' oldest boiler, built in
1954, has been down this winter. It's currently undergoing repairs costing about

Levy heads pioneering drug center
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT

E

ach and every drug as it is
absorbed, metabolized, distributed and 'excreted by the bod y is
affected by a multitude of varia-

bles.
Pharmacokinetics is the discipline
concerned with the characterization and
mathematical descriptions of these four
processes and their relationship to the
pharmacologic activity of drugs (n health
and· disease.
Dr. Gerhard Levy, 53, an internationally-known pioneer in pharmaceutics
and pharmacokinetics, directs UJB's
Clinical Pharmacokinetics Center.
funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and one of about
10 in the United States. II is dedicated to
discovering how to optimize the therapeutic value and minimize: the toxic
effects of important and widely-used
drugs.
Using pharmaoolci netic techniques,
Levy explains, he and his colleagues are
trying to find out which drugs should not
be ingested simultaneously and why; if
obese patients should be given drug
dosages based on their ideal or real body
weight; bow another disease would
influence the plasma concentration and
therapeutic effect of a drug taken for
epilepsy; what dosage is n=ssary to
maintain the concentration of a drug in
the body to produce the therapeutic
response, and more.
Levy recently concluded research on
the acute effect of ethanol (atc.ohol) on
elimination of propoxyphene (Darvon)
in rats. His findings were published in the
October 1981 issue of the Journal of
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

Rtdpient or prestic,ious award
Author of more than 400 articles, Levy
received in March the Oscar B. Hunter
Memorial Award in Therapeutics from
the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Tberapeutics. This pncstigious award was given first to Dr. Jonas
E. Salk in 1955for his development oft he
vaccine to prevent paralytic poliomyelitis.
Levy initiated his study of Darvon and
alcohol because a substantial number of
deaths were being linked to the combination of the two drugs.
Darvon, the moSt widely-used prescription analgesic, has been implicated in
numerous suicides and accidental deaths,
Levy notes.
The question arose why a Daivon dose
just a bit higher than the upper limit of
the recommended dose may be lethal
when taken with alcohol.
"It had been thought," Levy explains,
"thlit death was due to the additive effect
oft he two central nervous system de·p·ressant.s, one the propoxyphene and the
other the ethanol.., But he questioned
that conclusion .
..The concentrations just weren't that
high;" he says. "And besides, there had
been one well-controlled study in normal
subjects where theadditivitywas not very
pronounced. Moreover, people tend to
die very rapidly after ingestion of these
two agents together, and that in my mind
made the possibility of systemic interaction unlikely."
Systemic interaction, the distinguished
pharmaceutics professor explains, occurs
when one drug inhibits t,he elimination
from the body of another drug.
..That takes some time, you see,"' be
continues. "But it turns OJlt that propoxyphene is a drug that, taken orally, is · ·
metabGiizcd to a large extent ~ore it
enters the general circulation. About 80
J&gt;er cent of the drus is metabolized by the
liver immediately after ingeltion. It is
absorbed, partly metabolized as. it Jl8SSOS
through the liver, and the rest is circulated tbrouahout the body. We call this
the fiCSI-pus phenomenon.
"U, somehow, ethanol -inhibits that
metabolism, up to 100 per cent of the
propoxyphene oan pass tbroqb the liver
~ntouched, so to say, lUICI the circulation
ts expoaed to five times the amount of the
drus,- levy explains.

..~anol is known as a potent inhibitor of drug metabolism. Since it is taken
orally, the liver is exposed to a high concentration during the absorption phase,"
he adds. "My thought was that ethanol
might inhibit Lhe first-pass metabolism of
propoxyphene."
Study confmed to rats
Because of ethical issues, the study wu
confined to rats, which, like humans,
metabolize propoxyphene in the first
pass through the liver. Using a pump, a
solution ot propoxyphene was mtused
directly into one of the blood vessels leading from the gastrointestirialtract to the
liver. In some of the rats, only propoxyphene was infused; in others, both propoxyphene and ethanol.
.. We found a pronounced inhibition by
alcohol of the first-pass metabolism of
propoxyphene. That indicates to us that
this may be a major mechanism by which
peo ple who ingest both of these substances may become intoxicated,.. Levy
ex plains.
Levy intends to ex tend these studies of
first·pass metabolism to drugs that ;ue
metab olized by different t ypes of
reactions.
- w e11 use these drugs as models to
determi ne if alcohol indiscriminately
inhibits the metabolism of drugs by all
possible metabolic pathways or only by
certain metabolic pat hways,- he says. " If
only certain ones are in hibited, but not
ot hers. th~ knowing the pathwa ys by
wh ich any one drug is metabolized. we
can hopefull y predict which ones would
be subject to interactions with alcohol
and which o nes would not. "
As a scientist. Levy a pprecia tes the
importance of looking for answers to the
man y ques ti ons that surro und the usc of
drugs. Few drugs can be viewed as effecti ve without sim ult a neously bei ng seen a.s
potentially hazardous. Because of the
risk / benefit dilemma, it is vital that
extensive knowledge of drugs be gathered
for d isse minati on to the publ ic and physicians.
Team members, but independent
The research conducted by U/ 8 investigators at the Clinical Pharmacokinetics
Center involves cardioactive, psychoactive, and antihypertensive drugs,
antiasthmatics, anticoagulants and

antibiotics under different pathophysiological conditions, Dr, Levy notes.
Though they are viewed as a team in
quest of answers, the researchers'
independence at the Center is considered
important, he says, because this permits
them to be identified with their own
accomplishments.
Dr. Ho-Lcung Fun g. chairman of the
Pharmaceutics Depanment, is seeking to
delineate when, where and how the
pharmacokinetics of organic nitrates
may relate to their pharmacologic and
therapeutic effects in angina.
Dr. William J . Jusko, pharmaceutics
professor. is tryi ng to characteriz.e common · individual and combined factors
that affect the disposition of drugs and
their active metabolites in humans.
Dr. David Lalka. associate professor
of pharmaceutics. is seeki ng to determine
the mechanisms that influence the rat e
and extent of the accumulation of lidocai ne (a local anesthe tic) in patients
receiving this drug for treatment of lifethrea tening ven tricular arrhythmias -(an
irregularit y in the rhythm of a lower
chamber of the heart).

)

at the same time
Dr. Jerome J . Schentag. associaj.c professor of pharmaceutics. is sea rching for a
correlation between the t issue accumula·
ti on pharmacoki netics of aminoglycosides (bacterial ant ibiot ics) and their
nephrotoxicity (dest ru ction of kidney
cells).
In coo peration. Schcntag and Dr.
Francis M . Gengo. assistant professor of
pharmacy. arc examining the relationship between the cure of staphyloccocal
infections and the time course of penicillin concentrations in the infected site.
Three local hospitals, Millard Fillmore
Hospital. Children 's Hospital of Buffalo
and Buffalo General Hospital, house
satellite laboratories directed by Dr.
Schentag, Danny Shen, assistant professor of pharmaceutics. and Lalka,
ncspectively.

These three laboratories are staffed by
pharmacists, pharmaceutics professon,
research associates and students, who
advise physicia ns about drug dosages,
help them monitor drug concentrations
in patients and analyze-effects oft he pres·
cribcd drugs.
Besides providing the hospitals with
th ese services and the students with experience in their field. the laboratories identi fy clinical problems that researchers
then pursue via fundamental investigations of mechanisms of drug action and
disposition in experimental animals,
computer simulations wi th mathematical
models a nd / or human studies.
Somt dhical problems cause
unnecessary troubles
..
But there are ethical problems that present themselves to the scientist. And the
citizen who only criticizes. without offering suggestio ns. angers Levy.
He ment io ned the difficulty in pursuing research th at affects children and
infants. who ca nnot be used as vol unteers
as adults can. He referred to a group of
Bosto n physicia ns who were concerned
"ith th e question ofwhctherce~in antibiotics a rc less likel,t to cross th; placental barrier and gain access to the fetus.
When a pregnant woman .has an infectiOn. he explains. it is necessary to treat
her with an antibiotic. because left
untreated. the infection could cause harm
to the fetus.
The issue revol ved around whether o ne
antibiotic was more available than
a nother to the fetus.
Levy said the physicians decided one
way to answer their questions was to ask
women obtaining abortions for permission to inject them with antibiotics
immediately before they a borted. so tests
co uld be cond ucted to sec how much of
the drug reached th e fetus .
.
Beca use some people found this
research objectionable. one of these phy·
sicians was jailed under an old graverobbing ta ....
Aa:eptable ways to conduct such studies must be found, Dr. Levy emphasizes.
Pointing to the thalidomide tragedy, the .
director of U/ B's Clinical Pharmacokinetics Center feels, -tf people think
it cannot happen apin. they are

n anticipated decrease of
$330,000 in the.graudatetuilion
waiver budget for the 1982-83
.
aeademic year has the GradU41e
School looking for ways to reduce the
budJICI with minimal dislocatioru.
;
Dr. Donald W. Rennie, vice president
for research and graduate sludies, this
week circulated a set of prelimillllfY
recommendatioru for achieving that g~
to vice presidents, deans, directon,
chairmen, the Faculty Senate chairman
and the Graduate Student Association.
The proposed policies would fuUy
absorb the cui while mlucing only
slightly ·the number of students receiving
waivers during the regular academic year.
All summer waivers, however. wouJd be
.cut and some students wou ld receive only
partial waivers.
The recommendatio ns came from an
ad hoc Committee o n Tuition Waiver
appointed by Rennie. composed of
Leonard Katz, associate dean, School of
Medicine; Frank Jen, Management;
Andrew Holt, administrative dean,
Graduate and Professiona~ Education;
Valdemar lnnus, assistant vice president'for academic affairs; and lawrence
Kojaku, director, Institutional Studies.
The panel reviewed existing policies and
practices before preparing recommendations for Rennie and the recently
reactivated TA /GA Committee. While
botb have discussed them, neither the
- T A/ GA committee nor the executive
committee of the Graduate School bas
made fmal recommendations on the ad
hoc panel's suggestions. Rennie bas
asked for "'constructive suggestions,"
pending a fmal determination of policy
for 1982-83 which be says should be made
"no later than the ftrst week in April."
The ad hoc group's recomniendati ons
follow:
•Strong consideration should be given
to cancelling aU tuition waivers for summer sessions. This would affect 278 students and would save a pproximately
$70,000 a year.
•Students hired as Instructors or
l.Lctur~rs in MFC would not qualify for
tuition waivers unless they were
appointed as TA ~at the appropriate rate
(i.e. $3,500 minimum). Accordina 10
1981-82 records this would affect
approximately 30 students and save
$40,000/ yea.r. However, it bas been
suggested that some of these may be
changed to eligible ":!rointments; t1nps

•In keeping with the mission of this

Center, strong consideration bas been
'given to placing the followill&amp; assistantships lhe biabestpriority: Ph.D., RA's,
FeUows.. and the JD, D.Pharm, and
Ed.D programs. These appointments
would have tuition waived at $1700/ year
minus allowan&lt;:c for TAP, SUST~ etc.
Savinp of SSS,OOO would result.
•AU other post-baccalaureate assistantships have been considered for a
part.W tuition waiver for nine graduate
credits ($1,278/ yea.r minus TAP) per
semester (36 credits over a 2-year period).
This would affect approximately 450
students in Master's programs and would

Main Street heat comes from steam
generated in boilers fired by coal
S30,00o.
_
"11 keeps us going,"says plant manager
Wayne Mullins, referrina to the Mac Kay
fa cility's constant need for a ttention and
care. Mullins directs a ded icated 17-man
team, which works around the clock during\he heating season to keep the campus
fires burning.
·we try io keep everything in tip-top
shape," observes Mullins, stoical in his
appreciation of a job whicb can never be
collipleted . Regular maintena nce ma kes
it possible for the MacKay Plant to keep
heating the Main Street Campus, yea r
after year, (Jespite its aging eq uipment.
Su'mmer Is for malnlalaDce
'»-the winter, Mullins and his crew primarily concern themselves with keeping the
plant operating. In summer. repair.work
takes on number one priority. As Mullins
puts it: MThe plant's closed down in
summer, but therM still lots to do.•
That's putting it mildly.
During the warm months, the boilers

are th oroughly inspected and overhauled. Grates wh ich hold ooal and ash
a re repaired or replaced. Holes and a ir
leaks in the boiler (whi ch adversely affect
furnace draft ) are patched . And every
now and 1hen, the boiler's water tubes
must be"t urbined" to clea n out t he"hard
scale" which accumula tes despite the use
of soft water. (lfthe pipes get clogged, the
boilen won' operate very effic.iently.}
While t he Main S treet heati ng facilities
are not state of the an. a va riety of measures are employed to increase the efficiency of steam production and hea ting.
By recycling condensate return water. not
only is water consuin ptio n held down,
but the boiler can begin heating wa ter
that is already wa rm. Condensate returns
to t he Mac Kay Pla nt at I SO" F. It takes
less e nergy to convert water at this
temperature into steam.
The MacKay Plant also makes creative
use of low pressure steam. T tiis stea m is
used t o pre hea t ret urn water prior t o
send ing it through the boilers. Low pressu~ stea m also powen the plant's pu mps

and other auxiliary equipment. But the
steam which performs these chores does
double duty. After powering machinery.
it is used to heat all or pan of the following buildings: Acheson. the Service
Buil ding, the Maintenance Shops. and
the MacKay Plant itself.
275 million pound or sltl m

Of course. there are inefficiencies as well.
The ease with which snow melts on con·
tact with campus pathways indicates heat
loss. In face. in$ulation on the steam lines
could be beuer. While in most places the
lines are wrapped in 2-4 inches of insulation (r-esulting in tunnel temperatures in
the high SO's). there are uninsulated "hot
spots" which radiate even more heat into
the environment. Improvements are
) planned. Hopefully. by next fall,theywill
_
be in place.
Given system losses, how much of the
heat generated by the MacKay Pla nt
actually reaches ca mpus buildings? A
precise answer is noc possible because the
monitoring equipment does not exist.
What we do know is that the Mac Kay
Plant has generated approximately 275
million pounds of steam since last April .
Plant fuel costs for 81 / 82 came in just
over a million dollars. A lot more than
home h.eating bills. but - what with the
cost of energy these days - not bad fo r
heat ing an entire campus with 3,000,000
square feet of learning and working
space.

Ellsberg said the information released

area residents became alarmed when tbey
read that plutonium traces were found
near tbe tra in tracks and that their health
could be jeopardized if any escaping dust

moisture-laden clouds. Accordina to
Ellsberg, the plant was mistakenly built
upwind instead of downwind from
Denver.
His sentence for the act of civil

With a surae of emotion, Ellsberg
encouraged the aspiring attorneys

BrnSTILL
DAZZLES
tis 1912. A smiling Mieczys1aw
Horszowski sits
on the steps of
the Villa Casals
with his friend;-the 36-yearold cellist Pablo Casals. Only
20, Horszowski has performed with tlie leading
European orchestras, dazzling audiences with his firm
and clear technique. Still, he
smiles shyly_
Seventy years later, Horszowski is--still
shy. still firmly connec~ to his art. On
campus last month for three master
classes and a Slec HaU recital. Ho!'S·
zowski can lo.ok back proudly on 80 yoa!'S
of world-wide concertizing. definitive
recordings of the cla$Sic composers. distinguished solo performances, and recitals with the likes ofCasals. the Budapest
String Quanet and Arturo Tosca.ninL
The 89-year-old artist"isn't resting on
his laurels, however. His alenness surprises and delights. as do his interests in
a~contemporary pianism and unknown
works of famous composers. He's also a
newlywed . Marriedlor the fi!'Sttiine eight
. months ago. he wears a slender gold wedding band; ·he · appeal'S devoted to his
Italian-born piao&amp;st wife.
During his classes here. Horszowski,
who will be 90 in June. demonstrates his
famous kindness to young musicians. It's
a gentleness that never strays from
uncompromising standards and integrity. ... Mr. Horszowski.... wrote Rafael
Kammerer in a 1960 Mwkal Am~rka
piece....commands the respect and admiration of h,is fellow musicians. not only
for his superiortmowledgeand musicianship but abo for'his kindliness. He has
never been kncnm to say a disparaging
word about any-other pianist. even when
his own high. uncompromising-standards.
and integrity might tempt him to do s.o. ~

No phony compliments
Durin!! the Baird Hall classes. Ho!'S·
zowslti doesn' toss out phony compliments. He even winces in a few places.
But his remarks are always helpful; even
the most poorly-cxeculed phrase is
improved on with his clear, quiet
direction.
Each student plays his piece through.
while Horsz.owski listens intently. later,
he points out problems of phrasing, or
tempo. or lack of sonority. Sometimes, a
student just doesn't grasp the stntcture of
a work. After a Brahms rbapsody for
instonco, Ho!'Szowski aili, -Do you
know what is 11 tho heart of this pieoe? ...
It is the melody."
.
Christopher Burdick. after playing
Bach.. Tocct~ta In C minor replays tho
middle occ:tion at HonzoMki .. rcqiiCil. •
Honzowski draws out new oonoritics
and richness in tbo repeat performance.
-s..utiful, beautiful." says tbo teacher.

For some students. there is a hean y
praise:" I was very pleased." Horszowski
tells Richard McGirr, who has just
played Ravel's u Tombn~ud• Coupuin,
a piece with complicated. velvet interiors.
To Car.nille DiTusa. after a performance
of Chopin's PolofUJis~ Fantasi~. he says,
"You played some pans beautifully."
"The relationship between the pupil
and the teacher .... Hors.zowski once said
.. is also a little different now than it was
when I was a student. Today, you have to
discuss a point of difference. but when I
was a student you did what the teacher
told you. You have to see clearly why you
do as you do. Young people want to
know why you want them to do a certain
thing, in a certain way and that, I th ink, is
all to the good.-

No doubt who's in charge

During the U/ B classes. there is little
doubt who's in charge. But the diminutive Ho!'Szowski frequently adds a rbetor·
ical .. You like it?" after students make
suggested changes in tempo or dynamics.
The audience chuckles.
In a brief interview with the R~porttr,
Horszowski says he believes in adhering
to ... what is wrinen.... in not ...going
beyond .. the composer's intent. In this
way. Horszowslc.i and the late Artur
Schnabel are vastly different from other
pupils of Theodor Leschetitzky. the
legendary Polish teacher. His students.
who dominated the latter half ofthe 19th
and fi!'St quarter of the 20th centuries.
were romantic pianists. occasionally
grandiose in approach. But Ho!'Szowslti
and Schnabel are known for their fierce
artistic integrity and attention to the
score·; tbein is basically an intellectual
approach totheclassieeompose!'S. lt'san
approach he encourages.
To a young U/8 music student who
has jll5t played a Debussy composition,
Honzowski reminds: "We eon do many
thinp, but it (tbo music) doesnl belong
to us .•. You see what is written. tr~s viu
(very fut). Do it." Hom:owski raises his
bal;!cl,.s. thumps his feet and urcoo her on.
To Anita Chong, workin&amp; on tbo fitst
movement of Becthovoa.. "Woldstein-·
soaata, "sometimes you ao • little fast . ..
lfldidn'l know the piece I WQuldn' bave
hCard it (I aeries of notes). ttdtthis score

is a little more difficult than the othe!'S,
you'tnow it .~ Cheng relaxes a bit, smiles
and hods yes.
Not ricld or clinical
Though a classicist of great musical purity. Ho!'Szowski isn't rigidly attached to
the score, nor is he clinical in any way.
Somehow he avoids even the suggestion
of romantic excess while achieving a
sea rching lyricism. "Play th is with all
your feeling. with all you r soul." he
ex horts tbe Debussy student.
His own recital is marked by Knockout technical vinuOsity (impressive at
any age), coupled with the beauties of his
85·year-old an. He plays Becthoven·s
fiendishly difficult " Diabelli Variations"
(an endurance course for most pianists)
with e.normous expression. His encore,
the Chopin Prtludt in E minor (from Op.
28) is performed with incredible beauty.
He bows, almost shyly, loan appreciative
Sleo audience and walks off the stage.
At a dinner attended by this reponer,
Horszowski talks about his admiration of
Paul Klec ("one of the greatest artists of
the 20th century") and Jackson Pollock.
He regrets that so much deserving piano
music hasn' been performed, adding
that conservatorysludents often prefer to
concentrate on works required for piano
competiti~ns . ... There is so much music

waiting to be hoard," he tells a small
group. "Did you know how many works
Villa-Lobos wrote for piano?" he asks.
"600." Brazil is "lucky" io have such a
composer in its national past, says
Ho!'SZOwski.
·
He also discusses tbe relative neglect of
Hindemith, adding that the Germanborn composer "could play every instru·
ment .. and ...did wonderful work at Yale ...
(Hindemith taught at Yale from 1940·
1953.) Ho!'Szowski·s remarks are precise
and unclouded by age. He's also inter·
ested in what duo-pianists Frina and
Kenwyn Boldf, also m attendance, have
programmed for recent recitals. He tells
them about Becthoven·s three marches
for piano. four hands. He speaks of his
admiration for a young pianist named
Zimmerman. and unhesitatingly recalls
the n4mes and instruments of chamber
music colleagues from the J9S0s.
Never too many times
Entering his tenth decade, Ho!'Szowski
continues to record. The Atlantic
Monthly praised his reoent recording of
the fi!'St known piano sonatas by Ludovico Giustini "played on the oldest surviving piano ( 1720) by the groat Mieczyslaw
Horszowski." Aod his recording of
Bach's 1M W•ll·I•mfN"d Clovi.,.
Book an•• has just been released on the
Vanguard label.
How many times has Horszowski
played those famous preludes and fuaues
by Bach, a composer, like Mozart,
...whose every note is perfect" in his estimation. A thousand times? No matter.
For the 89-yoar-old Hors.zowski there
can never ~. too many times.
He has been called a ... mlWcian's musi·
cian," a ...sound and sincere artist," the
...pianist with the enormous oame and
spirit." For U I B music students and
faculty, his visit here was a memorable
cbanoe to experience all these things fU"St

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

ented test to determine pregnancy may one day
be utilized in a vaccine to prevent it.
The test was developed by
Dr. Om P. Bahl of UI B, who
isolated and determined the
chemistry of human chorio-

A

nic gonadotropin (hCG), a reproductive
hormone produced by the placenta that is
made up of two subunits, alpha and beta.
An antibody prodl!l'ed by rabbits
injected with modified hCG-b•ta can be
used to detect pregnancies in women only
I I to 12 days after conception , as well as
the presence of certain types of malignant
tumors in women and men.

Modified hCG-Iwta injected in women
has the potential of preventing pregnancy, Dahl notes, but years of testing
remain before such a pregnancy vaccine
could be approved for evaluation in
humans and marketed.

The pregnancy test has been used in
hospitals all over the world for the past
several years. marketed as .. Beta-Tee"" by

Bahl. who serves as cha irman of U/ B's
Department of Biological Sciences ... It is

'Immunization' has been' the goal
Researchers have been searching - and
women hoping - for safe and easy means
of preventing pregnancy for decades. A
vacci ne that would .. i.mmunize" women
against pregnancy has been an ideal goal.
Many scientists are attempting to
develop contraceptive vaccines utilizing
antigens of the spermatazoa. ova and
placenta.
"The physiologically active compound
whose action is to be blocked can be rendered inactive by its modification or by
fragmentation to obtain an immuitologically specific analog or fragment." Bahr
says. "Thus, by the use of a pharmacologically inactive antigen for fertility regulation, one can avoid undesirable side
effects.
" It is also possible," he adds. "to
develop a large-scale synthesis of such an
antigen so the manufacture of vaccine
can be effected at a relatively low cost.
Considering the existing socio-economic

necessary for pregnancy
Bahl has focused · on hCG as his prime
candidate for a vaccine for fertilit y regu lation. Beca use it is produce,d by the placenta. it a ppears ea rl y in pregnancy six
to eight da ys after fertil i1.ati on) an 1s
necessa ry for its ma intenance. Since hCG
enters systemic ci rculatio n. it ca n be neutralized by ci rcula ting a nt ibodies.

notes. S ince his Beta-Tee test is so se nsit ive. it can point to the prese nce of a
maligna ncy as soon as the hCG is de tectable in the blood.
The test is also used in monitoring
treatment of the tumor. As chemotherapy co nt inu es. hCG levels a re monit o red;
the levels get smaller as the tumo r
shrinks.

/Jr. Ba h / in h is A mh errJI laboratory.

The highly complex chemical make-up
of hCG was determined by Bah!. who
broke down its two sub-units. alpha and
beta. The hCG itself is a glycoprotein
hormone with a molecular weight of
38.000: 38 per cent of it is carbohydrate.
The alpha-sub unit. which has 92 amino
acids a nd two carbo hydrate units. is
co mmo n to two other pituitary hormones. human lu teinizing. hormone
(lutropi n) and follicle stimulating hormone (folli tropin).
But th e beta-subunit is unique to hCG .
It contains 145 amino acids: two asparagine link~d ..com plex .. type carbohydt:a tes and four serine-linked carbohyd ra te chains.
Work on a specific antigen
Ba hrs work has conce ntrated on the
develo pment of a specific a ntigen by the
chemical modifica tion of this hCG-beta

subuniL
When hCG is produced shortl y after
fertili1.ation. it travels from the placenta
to the ovary. where it joins with a receptor on the ovarian surface.-Reacting with
the recep tor. the hCG produces the ste·
roid hormone progesterone. which prepares the endometrium (lining of the ut erus) for reception of the fertilized egg.
The hCG is necessary not only for
implantation oftti: egg but also for maintenance of the pregnancy.
Bahl explains there are two ways to
approach the problem of controlling fertili7.ation; one is by neutrali zing the circulating hCG in t he blood by injection of
the antibody of the modified form of
hCG-be1a: the other is by using thr carbohydrate derivative of the hCG-be1a to
block the action oft he hormone in stimu·
lating progesterone production by the
ovary. Bah! has modified the carbohy-

.. We are now looking at the mechanism of
the synthesis of the hormone in the
body." Bah! says. - we hope to synthesi&gt;c
it in the test tube and also clone the gene
that directs production of the hormone.
In this way. " 'e can produce the hormone
in bacteria through recombinant D ·A
techniques ...
In addition. Ba h! notes. "We are studying the receptor for the hormone in the
ovary. This will allow us to understand
the mechanism of this action. The receptor is present in very small quantities. so it
is difficult to isolate enough for our studies. This we also want to clone to make
more for future studies ...
Interferon. which many see as a promising anti-cancer agent. is chemicall)

is made up of carbohydrate and protein
components. Currently. bacteria can be
made to prOduce onl) the protein. but not
the carbohydrate porrion ... he explains.

adds.
Bah I has received many honors for his
work on human reproduction. amonl!

His work has been funded primarily
by the World Health Organization and

Bah! is continuing his efforts to find a
solution to what he sees as one of the
world's most serious problems overpopulation.
-our cultural integrity depends upon
the control of population.·· he comments.
.. If there are too many people and not
enough resoorces, we will have difficult y

Look forward, Sample urges
concerning student activity space
n the questi on of st udent
activit y ·:;pace o n campus.
President Steve n B. Sa mpleurged at the U/ B Co uncil
meeting Friday that th e University t urn
its efforts from the past to th e futu re.
One tangiblt aspect of the fut ure.
Sample said. is construct ion of a new
student activities building at Amherst.
Sample gave the Council a brief
description of that building: " It will be
located bet~n Baldy and Bell Ha lls a nd
will be connected by a covered
passageway to the Kno x Lecture Center.
In size, it will be considerable: a two-story
building measuring 140' X 176' with a
gross square footage in excess of 47 .000.
The butlding cost is budgeted for S4.2
million,... Sample said .
A• for the construction schedule. he
reported, pre-bid documents are ready,
but bonds have no.t as yet been sold. The
Division of the Budget wilt not release
funds until the bonds are sold. the
President pointed out, .. but we have every
hope that these necessary financial
an:angements will occur in time to begin
construction of the building in the fall of
1982."
Ainong , the types of space to be
included, Sarople outlined, are a
restaurant, bowlmg alleys, billiard room.
ping pong room~ electronics game room
and a music listenins room. In addition.
the -design includes a large multi-purpose
room equivalent Jn size to the Fillmore
Room in Squire and a large lobby with
lounge space.

Sample emphasized, however, that
"this buildina is not, in and of itself,
equivalent . to a full-fledged student
umon."

2. P resumi ng the a nswer to the first

light of the new Student Act ivities
Building. a nd in light of the fact the
University has planned and committed
itself in the past to a d is pe rsa l of student
activities throughout the Amherst
Campus?
4. What would be the size of this new
building?
5. What alternative method s exist for

union?
·
The President urged the panel to solicit
input from the entire University and to
make recommendations at the ""earliest
possible date."
Members of the group are: Council
members Robert I. MiUonzi, John
Walsh. Frank Cuomo. Rose Sconiers.
and Travis Ballard.
Sample noted· that the contractor for
the renOvation of Squire was awarded a
contract on March I and, under terms of
that contract, has entered the. site and
taken possession of it.

said that records also indicate that o·n
February II the New York State Office of
General Services (OGS) sold the Squire
Hall bowling alleys to the Department of
Mental Hygiene which is now removing
them. Unused ponions of the building·s
food service equipment. he said. were
sold on December 8 to the ew York
State Depanment of Corrections.
In his staiement to the Counci~
Sam11le emphasized that all these

Hhlso reported that ..we have just
learned that the New Yor k Sta te
Supreme Cou11- granted the state's
motion to dismiss the law suit that sought
to enjoin the University to keep Squire

Schachter. a senior political science/ ~
economics major from Middleton. N.Y .• c
who last yea r came up on the short end of :0::
a 2-1 vi clory by ou1-going SA Presidenl ~
Joe Rifkin , turned the tables and out- ...
dislanced his closes! opponenl by 450
voles in Ihis year's race.
Hard work and endorsements
The new Student Association P resident
was adminedly surprised he had won by
so large a margin . The only reaso n
offe red by Schachler was sim ply hard
work ... We had no idea how much we

would win by, if we did , bul we did work
very hard ior two weeks a nd I guess that
just pa id off."' he said . The fact that four
others runn ing on the "Edge .. ti cket with
Schachter were also elected Eric
Fried ma n (lreasurer). Sheila Liddle,
Sieve Lynch, and Helaine Baruch (SASU
delegates) - may be indicative of this
hard work . Schachte r, however. did not
downpla y the impona ncc of the end or·
semcnts he had received from two of the
cam pus' major student publications. In
reference to nrt- Sperl rum and The Currem endo rseme nt s. he said. -The combinati on of both papers endorsing me
meant q uite a bit .for publicit y reasons ,
bul even more important was the fact that
I would be see n o r viewed as a serious
candidate by th e general student population. •• Schachler added I hat, ··while not
eve ryo ne reads what they pick up on
cam pus. the fact th at my picture and
name were there had to help ...
An impo rtant facet of Schachter's presidency will be his attempting to correct
what he feels is the .. negative image" U/ B
students have abou t SA in general. Says
Schachler. "SA ha s 1his negaliv&lt; label
attached to it and I would like to change
that to a very positive one during my
presidency. I don't feel that you can just

&lt;i: ~=:~::-::~==~:-::--:===~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fewer than :JUUU voted in t h e
election which saw Schachter
(above) lead the ticket.
cha nge an image by talking about i .
though: you have to aller your organization's actions first. If Yo u're seen doing
positive th ings for students. then I feel the
rest will j ust follow. but we are going to
have to earn it." Asked whether the continu ally low vote r turnout for SA eleclions (2764 OUI of lhC IOial 13.500-plus
eligible undergraduate population voted
in this year's election) was a result of thi s
negative image or was just an indication
of the type of student U/ B attracts.
Schachter thought neither was the case .
Segmentation holds down the numbers
- 1 feel that th e low voter turnout each
year is due to t he segmentation that exists
a t U/ B. At a smaller school. for insta nce,
all you really have is o ne small community of student s. while here yo u ha ve a
number of small communities and it 's
hard for students to feel involved in the
larger picture of things ... he said . Schachter also didn 't hesita te to point to the
closi ng of Squire Hall as not ha vi ng
helped vo1er 1urnou1. He ad ded. "Besides
servi ng as a st udent union. Squire was
also the major waJk-through area on
Main Street and there is no doubt we
missed having ballot boxes there."
When queried aboul lhe lype of SA
Presidenl he would like lo be, Schachler
unhesita ntl y responded ....a fair one ... He
explained . - s y the end of my term. I want

more undergradua tes than ever before to
feel that they really got their money's
worth from SA . It's important to keep in
mind that we are representing others. and
especial\) their money . Student wishes
and des1res have to be dealt with. and
once we as student leaders convey this
message. then the positive image I want
to :,ee will follow."!
Asked about the issues facing SA in the
upcoming yea r. Schachter not surprisingly responded by Ia! king abou11hc sludent union and the budget. l-Ie feels these
two i!!!sues will be the focus of a lot of SA
atte nti on in 1982-83. -The student union
issue is one that I can't honestly see students here ever compromising on with a
clear conscience. I su pport the posi tion
that there ha s to be a uo/ student union
o n both ca mpuses and right now we have
o ne on neither. Whatever communit y
relat ionship we had here at U/ B has been
destroyed wilh th e clos-ing of Squire
-Hall." Schachlcr said. The fac11ha1 U/ 8
has a new president didn"t seem to offer
any solace to the new SA leader ei ther

concerning th e union issue ... As far as I
know, " he said ... President Sample has
yet to state publicl y that he supports a
union on both campuses. My first task
will be to convince him ... he added.
Approaching tht gubernatorial candidates
This yea r"s S U Y budget has the new
student government president just as
perplexed . He feels SA and stu4ents in
general. however. have the ability to
make themselve:, hea rd nonetheless. Said
Schachter. ''E"er.y year the new budget is
worse and \\.Orsc but at least in the past
the dollar ligures weren't so low. It
doesn't look good at all this time around.
but if we keep an eye on the gubernat orial
race and support the candidate who supports SU Y. then our chances for
improvement arc bcuer. We have to
make ourselves heard. •· he suggested.
In terms of school :,pirit. or the lack of
It at U B according to many. Schachler
sees this once again as t"'e product of
other efforts. " You can't publici1e something like school spiri t before actually
doing something about it first. It's like
having the can before th e horse.- he
offered ... SA has tremend ous resources a t
its disposal and I feel 1hese have been
underutilized for too long. We arc going
to focus heavily on the areas of acrivi ties.
athletics. and services so that every st udent here will be touched in one way or
another. I want SA to work as hard as it
can for U/ B s1udents but I guess action
will speak louder tha n words."' Schachter
con!iden1ly sugges1ed .

"'These are hard q uesti o ns to a sk. ""says
Ross berg. He realizes t hey upset t he
faculty. On a perso na l level. he knows
tha t the answers to them may not exactly
make him popular on campu:,.
"We're locked into a structure and
something has to give. I'm not suggesting
that this will be a painless process and I'm

In this small Southeast Asian
·country, common assumptions
about education aren't true
; By PHILIP G. ALTBACH
n Singapore. many commonly
held assumptions about higher
educatio n are untrue. This s ma ll
country (population 2,400.000)
set in the middle of Southeast Asia ha s a
rapidly growing hig her education system
which. like much ofth~ rest oft he society.
never seems to stop changing. While most
. other developing countries attempt to
shift higher education from a European
language (usually English or French) to
an indige nous medium. Singapore
(whose population is 77% Chinese) ha
recently phased out Chinese-medi um
higher edi!MWltion and has made the enti re system Engl is h. While other countries
proliferate their universities. Singapore
recently merged its two univ~ rsities into
one National University (with a n
enrollment of about 10.000 - sc hedu led
t&lt;Y increase to 14,000 by 1985). Higher
education is closely articulated with the
ot her elements of the education system.
Further. in a period when man y
educatio nal systems have moved in an
egalitarian direction. Singapore has
rei nforced its exami nation system and
the stru crure of its schoo ls to ensure tha t
the small minorit y which is able to pursue
university studies is indeed the academic
elite. The age of selecti on into the various
.. st reams"" tha t lead either to higher
education or to lower levels has. in fact.
been lowered thro ugh recent reforms.
Planning for education. as for most other
as pects of Singapore's highly efficient
and suCcessful economy. tend s to be
centralized and traditi onal ideas of
au tonomy carry little weight.

I

.. Some controversy and debat e have
foUowed
These changes have not been without
considerable contro\'ersy and public
debate. But in Singapore, when the
Government (and particularly Prime
Minister Lee Kuan Yew) speaks. resuhs
occur. The academic community was. for
example, unenthusiastic about the
merger of Singapore's two un iversities in
1980. Nanyang Univer&gt;ity. the Chinesemedium instituti on founded in 1956 by
private interests to provide Chinesemedium higher education in Singapore.
was essentially dismantled and absorbed
by the Univer&gt;ity of Singapore.
The government had several goals in
mind in forcing the merger. lt argued th~t
Nanyang was not offering high quality
programs and that the best Chinese
Sludents opted to attend the Englishmedium -Univer&gt;ity of Singapore. The
government al~o felt that second-rate
higher education would lead to educated
unemployment - a problem in many
Third World nations. It also wished to
remove a potential political threat to the
regime by abolishing an institution
which. because of its partly independent
financial base and its historical origins.
might have opposed govern ment policy_
Indeed. some of Nanyang's s upporter&gt;
were, a decade ago. very much involved
in oppositional politics: Government also
wished. for a number of reasons, to

financial and trading center in its region.

National integration is • concern
T he government is also naturall y
concerned about nati o nal in tegration in a
country with three major ethnic groups
(Chi nese. Indians and Malays) and in a
region with deep ethnic and linguistic
divisions. Malaysia. just a few miles awa y
across a causeway. has shifted its
educational system (includi ng higher
education) to Baho~o .4/o/oysio and has
instituted an " affirma ti ve action'"
program to raise .the educational and
economic sta ndards of the majority
Malays - a program which has worked
against the Chinese and Indian
minorities.
The reactions to the merger of its
universities from the educational
community in Singapore were unenthu ~
siatic. The University of Singapore did
not wish to absorb Nanyang's staff.
library and students - and there have
been contjnuing problems of adjustment.
Nanyang itself wished to maintain itself
as a center of Chinese higher education
and as a separate institution . But the
government persisted and merger was
accomplished within a yea r of its
promulgation.

Reco nciling thi s histo rical tradition
which ha s provi ded considerable

with the demands of more technology·
orien ted government planners ha s been a
so mewhat difficult ta sk fo r th e
un iversi ty. and it seems that in gentral the
government has ensured that its orders
are followed by an increasingly d ocile
un iversity. For a brief period . the vice
chancelor (chief academic and a dministTa tive officer) of the un iversi ty was the
Minister of Education. It goes without
saying in Singapore that all major
university decisions either emanate from
government authorities or are carefully
checked with the Ministry of Education.
Universi ty autonomy. at least at the level
of de1ermining the basic policies of the
insti tuti on and in s haping future
directions for higher education. does not
exist in Singapore. Yet . academic
freedom in the traditional sense is fa irly
widespread. University staff are free to do

academic standards even when institutional autonomy is virtually nonexistent. A reason a ble amount of
academic freedom (albeit within widely
understood limits) co-exists with
sig nificant government direction of
academic policy. Growth has been
managed so th at standards have not
declined and the basic infrastructures of
academic life. such as libraries and
su pport faci lities. have not s uffered.
Singapore ha s consciously chosen to usc
English as the sole medium of instruction
in higher education - a decision which is
uncommon among Third World nation s.

Question!!
Ourin,; the 1950~ and t96Cb. there were
active student movements which were
generally anti-regime. At that time. the
government required a -suitability ..
certificate for admission to the university.
The social impact . of largr n_umbers of
Singapore students who have studied
abroad remains to be seen. And the longterm effect of limited academic
autonomy is unclear. But for the present.
it seems that the crea tion of a new
National University out of the merger of
two quite different institutions. the
expansion of the Institute of Education
and the upgrading and expansion of the
Polytechnic have all been accomplished
with reasonable effectiveness. Adequate
financial resources. careful (and largely
effective) planning and the fact that
higher education exists in the context of a
rapidly growing economy have all
contributed to this success.

Sample feels U/B took disproportionate share of cuts
resident Steven B. Sampl~told the University Council Friday that ~/ 8
!eerils to ha ve taken a d•sproport1onate share of the FTE reductions
imposed on State University forfiscall982-83 by the State's Di vision of
the Budgeh
U/ 8 will lose 95 FTE lines uoderthe budget plan, Sample noted. He em phasized that State University had nothing to do with the decision to cur these lines.
Despite this uneq ual treatment by DOB, Sample said , the real problem fa ci ng
U/ 8 fo·r the coming year is the recommended reduction in salaries for currently
filled positions - a reduction which means that between 127 and I 80 individuals
currently employed will lose their jobs. unless some restoration of fund s occ urs.
Sample noted that DOB has already ad ded back $644,000 oft he salary monies
originally proposed for deletion, and both he and Council Chairman M. Robert
Koren ex pressed optimism that even more funding may be restored . Koren said
a recent meeting with area legislators seemed to indicate a tendency on their part
toward doi ng so. Council Chairman Emeritus Robert I. Millon7j suggested it is
his experie nce that the annual threat to cut jobs is sim ply a ..game .. and that a
~om prom ise will emerge before the budget is actually passed (April I is the
deadl ine).

P

New way of thinking about SU Y
Council member Rose Sconiers. also a member of the Association of Council
Members and Trustees of State University. reported that that group intends to
respond tog peated attacks on the SUNY budget from Albany by launching a
ca mpaign to get the Legislat ure to change its way of thinking ab§l_ut State
University. The problem. she said. is that SUNY has traditi onally be'!n cOnsi-

dered a part of the state bureaucracy and its budget has been approached in that
way. What the Association of Council Members and Trustees hopes to work for.
she said. is to have SU Y recogni1ed as an indepe:ndent .agency ._She S;3i~ the
Association will approach this year's gubernatonal cand1dates with thl) 1dea.

MAH program allows
academic individuality
By ANN WHITCHER
ne student is blending classics
and biology. It's not your usual
mix, and Dr. Victor Doyno.
d irecto r of U / B's Master's in
the Hum a nities (MAH) Program.
frankl y admits the choice intrigues him.
" I 'd like to talk to him ... avows the
likeable Doyno, U / B associate professor
of English and recent appointee to the
MAH post.
The program. which Doyno discussed
during a n interview wi th the Reponer,
allows stude nts to design individuallytailored programs relating two su bjects
no matter how dissimilar. There is one
provi so-. however. At least one of these
must fa ll in the catego ry "generally
understood .. as the humanities.
MAH students. Doyno explains. must
take 12 se mes·t er hours in one of the
humanit ies plus 12 in another humanities
area . Or they may take 12 humanities
hours in co mbinati on with 12 hours in
one of the social or natural sciences. It 's a36-hour program. Doyno remi nds. so the
remaining 12 hours are divided between a
project (in place of a thesis) and electives.

A ric.h range of subject choices

The MA H program , says Doyno. allows
maximum flexibility for the stud ent.
Students may study full- or part -time. at
night or during the da y. Also. the nature
of the program allows for a rich range of
subject choices. The humanities/ science
mix. especially. allows for unusual choices in student curriculum:
One student. who has chose n a com bina tion or media st ud y and a natural
scie nce. is putting together a film on
..space colonization ... while a music/ psychology student is working on a music
therapy project for children with virious
pro~lems. Another stude nt is stud yi ng
medta and thea tre. His goal is to train in
media and theatre production: he has a
probable job lined up as a media museum

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

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI

n a move that see med to visibly
please a number of Faculty
Senator.;, Steven B. Sample,
. U/ B's new 12th executive officer.
said that after a "good deal of thought
and consideratio n," he has directed
U/ B's legal counsel to approach City
Coun Judge Julian Kubiniec and the
D.A.'s office in an effon to get thirddegree criminal trespass charges reduced
against students who refused to vacate
Squire Hall when it officially closed
February 27.
The reduction would make the
misderr.canor offense comparable to the
simple trespass violation lodged against
87 protester.; during the February 3 sit-in
t)lere . .
The President · also reponed at the
luesday Senate meeting that he had
decided• the previous day to lift the preemptnry suspensions of the remaining
three students involved in the February .
27 epis~e . last week, he lifted the
suspensions of 29 of the 33 student demonstrators. One student voluntarily
withdrew from the University.
Sampte•s announcement was met with
a quiet murmur and a spontaneous
scattering of applause. Math Professor
Nick Ka,..rinoff then rose and said.
• . .. . . this is the nicest breath of fresh air
!~~-me to this University for a long time.

A Judcment caU

ln response to questions from Senator
Uz Kennedy.- Sample reponed that oncampus hearings- would continue as
scheduled for - the student proteste.rs
involved in the Feb. 27 sit-in. In the"very
fast-moving" week sina: he's been on
. board bere, Sample ..00 he has had to
.make. decisions .. under ~grea( pressure"
without the time he .. would have liked lQ

fully com prehend them."
.. It was a j udgme nt call. I'm not cenain
that I could have injected myself or "if it
would have been appropriate to inject
myself in the middle of the heari ng
process," he relayed .
As pan of that process. Sample said all
the findings a nd recommendations from
the hearing committee will be reviewed
by him.
Encoura&amp;ed by budcet restoration
In a discussion of the budget, the
President said he was "encouraged" by
the $644,000 recently restored by Jhe jf
Governor's office to U/ B, and was
"hopeful" that in the end, the Univer.;ity
would not be forced to "eliminate any
fi lled positions.• With just the cur_rent
restoration, Sample said UI B would still
have to eliminate 9S vacant pPSitions plus
between 125-190 filled ones. The wide
range, he explaintd, is due to salary
discrepancies. In other words, U1B could
eliminate 12Shigherpaid positions or 190
lower paid jobs.
.. Intense CliScussions .. are now going on
between the Chancellor's office and
legislators regard ing a funhcr ..substantial ~ restoratio,n for SUNY, the President
noted.
,
In an uJ)date· on . th&lt;&gt; DOB's recent
direct·ive banning out~f-state travel.
Sample told Senators that the "travel
~ freeze has thawed somewhat. .. As it now
stands, Sample '"id he can approve out. -of-state travel if it is integral to the duties
and responsibilities of the employee; if
failure to approve it would result in a net
loss.. of income to the state, or if the tra.vel
is "demonstrably" required to fulfill the
terms of contract' or grants. .
Requests fo·r out-of-state travel to
conferences, Wociation meetings and
the like must , be approved by SUNY
Central and the DOB, he said.
The President assured Senator.; that

...

where he "reasonably can.... he will
appro ve travel for research facult y who
a re presenting papers. This co uld be
done, he reasoned . under the firs t rubri c.
He added. however. that ..give n our
prese nt situat ion. with tfle budgel . l'don"t
thin k it ~ ould be worth going to war or
making a maj or issue with the Division of
the Budget over that point .''
Like the travel mand ate. SU Y's
employment freeze is also panially
thawed . CurrentlY. some vaca ncies can
be filled , the President reponed. and
supposedly guidelines will soon be
delivered to SU Y Centrar giving more
details about the decision .
Teachin&amp; quaUty
After some debate. though not as lively as
lasl year's discussion over ~ the same
subject. the Senate endorsed five
amended recommendalions #of its
Teaching Quality Committee wh ich will
now be forwarded to the President. They
are:
I) That programs. awards and other
support systems be developed in
consultation wi th the DUE Dean. the
dea n of grad uate educa tion and the deans
of the professio na l sc hools and faculties
to encourage high qualit y teaching:
2) That the University sponsor regular
programs for facuh y which focus upon
teaching 'Bids and methods. instructional
materials. the usc of media in the
classroom, small group lecture methods,
self- and computer-assisted inst ruction.
student and course assessment methods,
tnstruc,ting the older student. and the _ ·
supervision of new teachers;
3) That te:tcbing excellence, with
adequate documentation. continue to Qe
Used in pers.wmel decisions and that the
Teaching Quality Commi ttee,_ when
rc,guested. serve in a faciJitative role for
dea~ and ch•irs in the preparation of the
teaching documentation portion of

-

a ppoin tment / promot ion dossiers. but
not in the assembly of specific data for
particu1ar dossiers;
4) That the Committ ee an nually
review the extent to which the a bove
recommendations. as approved. have
been im plemented . and
5) That the Committee continue to
study and suggest wa ys to improve the
quality of teaching at the University.
In a postscript to its recommendations.
the Committee expressed its concern that
-special attention continue to be paid to
the teaching performance ofTA's."
Grad students included .., awards
Se'nator Wolfgang Wolck noted with
pleasure that the first recommendation
dramatically depans from previous
policy which excluded gradtate faculty
from teaching awards. Senate Chair
Barbara Howell agreed. recalling that the
S U Y Senate recently sent back to
committee a recomrnenda.tion that would
have made grad studen faculty digible
fo r the Cha ncellor's Award s for
Exo;llence in Teaching.
Much of the debate centered on what
so me Senators saw as the Commiuee·s
failure to attack the qean of the issue, by
neglecting to provide a definition of
teaching quality. Senator Janice Trice
argued that the recommendations merely
...endorse conformity to means ... such' as ·
use of'"media in the classroom. but i.gnore
"the eod"product. Senator Wolck agreed
with her assessment, Saying. -vou can'
talk about awards unless you distinguish
between adequate and excellent teaching...
Some Senators concurred with
Committee Chair Frank Sehimpfhauser
that units should devise their own
definition. Other.;, however, disagreed.
Math Professor Nicholas Goodman, for
instance, firs( indicated that the

two to three more in the Biochemistry
Department and six more at RosweJJ

safety has held steady and the possi ble
benefits to th e public good are nea ring

In the forefront
In the forefront of all this .. unseen" activ ~
ity is Dr. Edward Morgan. a n assistant
professo r of biology here who is very
close to developing a recombinant ON A
technique that will ena ble a common bac ~
terium, Escherichia coli (£ . coli), to pr o~
duce large amounts of bovine growth
hormone a nd possibly human insulin.
Morgan. who came to U/ 8 a few years
ago after doing post-d octoral work in
microbiology a t the Unive rsi ty of W is ~
consin (Madison), is currently working
under a S49,000 gran t from Eli Lil y and
Co .• a major U.S pha rm ace ut ical firm.
Morgan explains that the discove ry
which got him the Eli Lily gra nt was
actually the by-product of other work he
was doing under a Nat ional Institutes of
Health (NI H) gra nL
"During the course of my research for
NIH , I came across an ideal vector for

Bovine growth ho rmone
The brunt of Morgan's work for Eli Lily
will concentrate mainly on development
of a bovine growth hormone through
recombinant DNA techniques.
"The reason for this.·· Morgan says. "'is
that there will undoub tedl y be a huge
commercial market for such a product.
Bovine growth hormone can theoretically increase milk production while at
the ~arne time increase the meat to fat
ratio when it is adminis tered to ca ttle.
Flirthermore. all this can be accompli:,hcd even b).• feeding the a nimal less ...
Although no one has been ab le to actuall y make bovine growth hormone using
recombinant DNA techniqbes. there
being ce rtain problems still to overcome.
Morgan nevertheless is co nfident he has
the key to solving the problem.
"Even though we have all the information that allo ws the bacteria to make the
needed proteins. you still have to have a
way of carryi ng the gene. for that pro_duct. to its proper position for exp resston . This can be done by using the
proper vector {carrier) and I feel that I
can make this." Morgan said confidently.

thought that it would rea ll y be something
to try recom bina nt D NA with what I had

way ofproduci ng cenai n products in bacteria like £ . coli.

The success Morgan achieves in his
effo rt~ to produce a recombinant DNA
bovine growth hormone for a nim als or a

later) can have a significant commercial
effec t on a large com pany like Eli Lily.
Morgan suggests that even a two-fold
increase in the production of ce rtai n products ca n ea rn a company "something

At the same time. his efforts may also
lead to the creat ion of a better public

Canadian-US trade task force

U

will co~hair a joint CanadianAmerican task force to improve
1
commerce between Westem
New York and Southern Ontario, Erie
County Executive Edward J . Rutkowski
has announced .
Sample will head the group along with
H. Jan Macdonald , president of Yorlc
Unive rsity, Toronto. Appointments of
the two were rt"adejointl y by Rutkowski
and Paul Godfrey, chairman of the Metropolitan Municipality of Toronto.
To be known as the CanadianAmerican "International Free Trade
Corridor Task Force." the panel will
undertake long-term studies of ways of
improying trade relations between this
area and neighboring Canada. It is the
outgrowth of discussions Rutkowski has
had with leaders on both sides of the
border over the last several years.
The group is expected · to utilize the
resources of the U / B CanadianAmerican Center.

The task force will address tearing
down trade barriers between the areas.
As Rutkowski put it , ..a natural trade
corridor exists from Buffalo to Toronto
along the Niagara River a nd Lake
Ontario shores which has the potential
for becoming perhaps ' the wealthiest
trade area in the world , ... once artificial
barriers are removed .
President Sample, Rutkowski said , has
pledged the " full resources of the State"
to join in such an effort.
The County Exceptive envisages .. that
some day goods and services will flow
free ly throughout this international free
trade corridor, with perhaps taxes and
tariffs added on when products leave or
enter the corridor."'
Rutkowski's pla n for the free trade
zone is one of several initiatives to ease
the burden of the recession l~lly which
. he unveiled in a recent speech.
Others are: • A plan to put Social Service workers
in ~ight union halls in t_he county~

• A request to the state go vernment for

• A call for emergency impon quotas

Rutkowski said . While U.S producod

Rutkowski said he was ..asking President Reagan to begin procedures. a t
o nce, to decla re emergency impon quota s o n Japanese cars arid imponed steel
in a purel y defens ive mechanism in what
has become an all out trade war ....
He also called for reduction by half of

recreatioq and residential priorities

Barge Canal in Tonawanda to Big Tre&lt;
RtJad. just south of lackawanna in the
T..Wn or Hamburg. Ponions of Grand
Island directly across the ri ve r from the
stud y area were also included.
A total of 1031eaders were interviewed:
37 from government . 35 from profitmaking firms. 23 from private non-profit
organizations, and 7 from quasi-public
agencies. such as cultural institutions and.
colleges. About 60 per cent of the
respondents had been involved in . previous effons to plan land use on the
waterfront. On a scale from zero to ten.
45 per cent of the interviewees rated
waterfront redevelopment as .. very
important .. to their respective organizations; 80 per cent gave it a seve n or h ig h~r
rating.
Broad Planning dfort favored
The majority of community leaders. the
stud y re vealed. favored a revitalization

plan that would include a broadly based .
consensus planning effort . There was no
one person or organization that the
respondents agreed should take the lead
in developing a plan . Buffalo Mayor
James Griffin, however. did receive 52
nominations. putting him far in the lead
in the people category. though surprisingly only I I respondents selected the
City as the agency to spearhead the effort.
All but three leaders believe the wat erfront is inappropriatel y used at the current time. and 65 per cent pledged the ir
enthusiastic support should a planning
effort get underwa y.
A major objective of the stud y was to
discover what community leaders

Harriman double bill de~ves beyo~d racism
By ANN WHITCHER .

Bessie Smith. the f3mous American blues
singer, died of injuries suffered in a car
attident. She had been refused admittance to an ali·White southern hospital.
The year was 1937.
In 1959, Edward Albee wrote a play
about the incident. Though it does touch
on the Vi rulent racism of the Depressionera so uth, the pla y is not actually about
racism , says Ed Smith. UJB theatre pro- fessoranddirectorofTh•DeathofBesm
Smith, now at the Harriman Theatre.
The play, he says. rea~ concerns a series
of ..disintegrating rei tionships" among
the drama's six mem rable characters.
There is the biting,• scathingly sarcastic
nurse , played extremely w&lt;!ll by Christine
Dunford, who enjoys only abbreviated
relatiqnships with her father and her boy- •
friend, the quixotic intern (played by
Mitchell Gossett). And Bessje (who is
never seen i.n the play) is a s inger down on
her luck, battling a drinking proble!ll and
a foundering career.
.. You goua hustle for it no·w." her
friend Jack tells her in Albee's drama .
.. You do; 'cause ifyou don'tdo somi'thin',
people are gonna stop askin' where you
been the past four-five years ... they're
gonna stop askin' anything at all!,.. And
the orderly, a young black man disastrQ.usly bound to the nurse's cruel, racist
im perialism, is mired in his own
, weakness.
Careful, considered direction
This is an interesting play, to which
Smith has given careful aO.d considered
direction. The pacing is thoughtful , the
characters' pausings and movements
pregnant with meaning and insight.
Where Albee has given only a -general
stage direction for music at various
points in the pla y, Smith has included the
music of Bessie herself, before, after, and
at one point. during the play.
Albee dedicated The Death of (Jessie
Smith to composer Ned Rorem. Interestingly, it had its fim performance (April
21 , 1960), not in this country, but in Berlin's Schlosspark Theatre.

Si5ter Sonji i5 less subtle
Paired with The Death of Bessie Smith is
the less dramatically subtle. but still
interesting, Sist~r Sonji, written in the
1960s by black American playwright
Sonia Sanchez, who now teaches at
Temple University. Sister Sonj i is a fiery
work , which weaves themes of black
revolution and separatism and the rise of
black feminism . In general, it's a hard .
uncompromising review of white injustices. The original script has one woman
_playing the same character, changing costumes to reflect older and younger incarnations of the same person. In an effort to
update the play, Smith has chosen Akua
Kamua and Sandra Wallace. to play.
respectively, these older and yo unger vcr- ·
sio ns, though Wallace's character is more
of a ..spirit" of the older woman than an
aclUal character.
. Sisler Sonji shows its age. but it does
pose, implicitly at least, some haunting
questions about American race rel~ions

and black sensibilities. Tbe play is most
effective, though, in its more human.
more universal, dimensions. For example. when an aging Sister Sonji bitterly
recalls her fiery, impassioned youth. wi th
its lost so ns\ and ill-fated passion. she
says ... We aretu peace. The state sUp ports
me and othe.rs lik.e me and I have all the
t ime I want to do what all old }dying people do. Nothing. but I bave my memories." Kamua. in her careful . prescient
phrasing. is \'Cry effective in th e role.
Emphasis on purity of actin'
Smith. who is a much-praised local actor
a !ld director. notes that the emphasis of
Harriman productions is more on the
..purit y of acting" a nd student training.
vis a vis the ''show" itself at the Center
Theatre. In fact. says Smith, the departmenl asks faculty to switch locales each
semester.

CSEA group wins major salary increases

T

he tentative agreement fo r a
new three-yea r contract between the Sta te and the Civil
Service Employees Associa tion
(CSEA) calls for a 9% across-the-board
pay hi"ke effective April I and additional
raises totaling 10% in each of the
following two years.
The contract also allows the State to
withhold the equivalent of one bi-weekly
paycheck during fiscal 1982. The money
is to be returned to employees at ~he time
of their separation from State service
(only the two-weeks pay due will be
computed on the higher salary being
earned at that point).

CSEA members from U/ B were told at
a meeting here last Thursday thai this socalled "lag pay'' provision will be a •
feature of all State employee contracts
this year (including UUP).
This delayed pay, CSEA members
were· told , will .. lessen the impact of
layoffs.• It means the State can delay
issuing paychecks by one day each
payroll period during ten consecutive biweekly payroll periods. The full twoweeks' salary which will eventually be
held back will be payable when the
employee separates from State service. A
one-time partial recovery payment in the
a mount of one per cent is payable in 1982.
The State wiU post a new schedule of pay
dates.

Eligible employees will also receive

Section 7. I 3oft he cu rrent contract). This
pa yment covers the loss 'Of the cost of

1979-82 contract and is a one-time
payment only.
Controversial evaluations ended
The new CSEA pact will put an end to the
controversial performance evaluation
system contained in th e 1979-82
agreement. A new four incre ment salary
schedule is being introduced April I.
1982, to provide annual increments to
employees on their anniversary date of
employment contingent only on ..satisfactory" performance.
A One-time, lump-sum longevity
payment of $500 will be available during
t he seco nd year of the contract (payable
on or about Dec. I, 1984) for employees
at or above their job rate for five years or
longer. During the third contract year, all
employees at orabovethejob rate of their
position for five years or longer will
receive a lump sum payment of $750
(payallle on or aboui Dec. I, 1985).
The pay_ provisions of the contract
amount to increases ranging from 31.9
per cent (for e"!ployccs not eligible for

incremen ts or longevity payments) to 50
per cent for th ose receiving three full
increment s but no longevity hike.
The agreement leaves sick leave

Some local CSEA members expressed
di smay at Thursday's. meeting over the
highly-publicized news of a "50 per cent
pay hike" that has appeared ·in the local
papers. Several said thei r landlords have
already hiked their rents based on the
news.

Out of this clearly escalating problem
was born Uf B's Alcohol Awareness
Program. Under Thorner's direction
during its four-year existence. the
program has developed a se ries of
.. preventive educational interventions ... to
alert stud~ts to the risks of alcohol
and substance abuse . .. We don't preach
teetotalism... Thorner explains. ..We
preach responsible drinking."
Thorner says the program is designed
to help st udents identify and examine
their attitudes about alcohol and to
understand the drug 's biological.
chemical and psychological effec!S.
The program's effons have already
produced one ca mpus Alcohol Awareness Day, which laS! fall presented
exhibits by the Area Council o n

A'icoholism, Alcoholics Anonymous and
!he University's Division of Public Safely
among others. Fifteen hundred studen ts
visited that event. says Thorner. and the
next Awareness Day. scheduled for
April, will endeavor to attract even more.
Films and workshops are also presented
as pan of the program's on-going public
education campaign.
The program essentially functions on
two levels. The first is the very out front
dimension of public education. which

Thorner views as ..a kind of consciousness-raising to instill an awareness of the·
fact thai becoming .an alcoholic is an
insidious, gradual process !hat people are

Researcher says boys better at mQth reasoning
By M!CHAEL L. BROWN
r. Calll,illa Persson Benbow
opened 'lhL fift h a nd final ·
installment _of t he Colleges'
Forum on Gen der Differences
in Matbe_matics Achievement Friday by
saying she would be "singing quite a
differe nt tune" than the fQur previous
speakers in the series.
S he \vas right ! ·
BenbOw, a psychologist j res'earcher
from Joh ns Ho pki ns Universiry (bere ·
replaci ng th e foru m's originally scheduled speaker, Lynn Fox, who lias taken
ill) was referring ·to the controversial
article (Sdmce, Dec. 1980) she coauthored with Dr. Ju lia n Stanley, also
fro m J oh ns Ho pkins, suggesting there is
a substantia l ~x difference in mathematical reaso ning a bil ity in favor of boys noJ due to d ifferential course-taking (the
positio n hj:ld by t he previous speakerst.
The article has attracted a great deal of
attention and heavy.-riticisrn since its
publication and Ben bow was .. more than
happy to have a cha nce to try and set the
record straight:"
·

D

The process has been criticized
According to Benbow, t he brunt of t he
criticism of her an.d Sta nley's fi ndings can
be linked to the ide nt ification and
selection process used Jn the eigh t-year
project that spawned the Science article.
Called the Study .of Mathematicall y
Precocious Youth.(SMPY). th e project.
which began in 1972. sought to find
junior high school students, both mare
and female. who showed a na tural abili ty
for ma t hema t ics. To find _these
ma t hematically p recocious young
people. a series of .. talent searches'' were
undertaken. Any 7th or 8th grade student
who had scored in t he top five per ce nt on
any standardized test a dminis tered in
their schools- th e lowas. for insta nce qualified for participat ion.
Once these t op students weie
ide ntified. t hey we re given the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT), math, and verbal
sections, to -determi ne how strong a
mathematical reasoning ab_ility they had.
Benbow ex plained that the College .
Board's SAT-M and SAT-V, "an
extreme ly difficult test for these
studen ts, .. Was used to spread out and
screen where t hese top students were in
relatio n to·one a nother.
\Vhile most of the crit icism towards the
study has come about because of this
SAT format. Benbow feels her findings
can be defe nded. Says Ben bow, "t hese
7th and 8th graders have not been taught
the processes needed for this type of test
yet, so fo r them, especially, this is a true
test of mathemat ical -reasoni ng ability.
Fun hermore, and unlike what Eli1.abeth
Fen nema charged when she was here to
peak (See Reporter. Oct., 198)). we did
not ·recruit' our st udents fo r the talent
searches thro ugh teacher nominatio ns.
Instead , we got ou r St udents from every
private' a nd public school in our tale nt
search a rea"-(originaUy the Baltimore area

but extended to include so me six sta~.&lt;s).
by sending a letter to th~ principals,
guidance cou nselors a nd math heads of
those schools. ex plai ning the partitipation criteria. They then looked fo r those
students who q ualified a nd gave t hem our
applicat ion form. F rom then on. it was aU
voluntary on the part of the students to
participace in our searches. No one was
forced .· she added.
The boys did btUer by ast onishing mucins
Because the SM PY st udy used the
selection criteria it did - the five percent
cut-off rate (later searches used the top
two and three per cent to be even more
selective). Benbow noted it came as a
great surprise that she found a large sex
difference in ma th reasoning ability. She
said, .. In our first six searches. involvin&amp;,
10,000 students, 43 per cent of the
participants were girls. so when we
discovered that 27 per cent of the 8th
grade boys had scored above 600 on the
SAT-M while not one of the 7th or 8lh
grade girls had. we were quite shocked:·
But . according to Benbow. she and
Stanley were not interested in these
percentages as much as they were in the
disparate ratios they found in this high

end ofthe scale(the top five percent). "Of
Lhe st uden\or'in our talent searches that
scored abdve 500 on the SA T-M (the
average score of a college-bound senior).
we fou nd a 2/ 1 ratiq in favor of boys. Fdr
the students who scored abo~te the 600
level. the ratio went up to 5/ 1. and above
the--elite level of 700 it was an astonishing
17/ 1 raiio in favor of boys.· In a recently
begun national search, Benbow also
reported that for scores above 700 o n the
SAT·M for st udents before the 13th
birthday. 96 boys were found a nd only
four girls. "'It seems clear .to us then that
we hav~ discovered a large sex difference
in mathematical reasoning abi lity and at ~
a very early age.· she added .
In a follow-up study done when the
students fr"om "' the first three talent
searches were high. school seniors (which
had a 91 per cent feedback rate. according
to Benbow). the earlier ability differences
she an&lt;! Stanley found seemed to persist
several years through high school. This
argument was developed . said Benbow.
by observing that the boys of this group
showed a marked improvement on the
SAT-M in relation to the girls. At the
same time. she noted that the boys
improved more on the SA T - V also. when
compared to the girls. At this point .
Benbow mentioned th at a coUeague of

hers has taken this study to task and has
postulated ~hat sex differences in math
reasoning ability commence in high
school because boys take more semesters
of math there than girls do. She doesn'
agree. "Aithqugh the boys in our woup
did take mar11inally more math than the
girls did in h•gh school (one semester of
calcul us usually). • she .said. "this still
doesn' ex plain the verbal improvement
demo.nStrated by the boys and it cenainly
ean' explain why there is an abilit y
difference earlier t han high school.·
Although "it's possible. it seems unlikely
that differential course taking faT our
population had any significant effect ...
As for the implica tions of hef work,
Benbow feels her fi nd ings add up to "a
picture of a- greater engagement in
mathematics of males than of females aT
thr lew:/ of action. but not or th~ lt'l'l'l of
express~d ;mnes(· more girls than
boys in the SMPY were planning a major
in the math sciences in college. • we.
therefore. hope.· she said , "that the
people who are recently co ncerned with
the numbers of girls going into the
quantitative sciences today. will spend
more time workirig with these girls who
are mathematically precocious and spend
less time arguin~ the nature and extent of
sex differences m math ability...

Shyness and exam skills
In addition to individual counseling sessions. the Center offers a series of Structured Workshops focusing on top ics of
expressed concern a"mong University
st udents. The groups arc scheduled based
on the interest of six to I 0 people who are
available at a mutually convenient time.
The sessiohs currentl y in progress cover a
wide range of concerns, including Shyness, Stress Reduction , Procrastination,
Test Anxi~ty, Couples Com'!lunication.
Weight Control, Relationship Skills and
Exam Skills.
"The demand for
counseling rises and
falls with the University's academic calendar, .. notes Gerry
Thorner. with exams
and graduation bringing on an understand able rush of anxiety
and resulting psychological problems. He
adds that the Center
is presently meeting
the demand forcoun·
seling services rea~
sonably well, with no
backlog of cases
awaiting attention.
The Center does,
however, limit its treatment services to
.short-term involvement with its student
clients. l!ldividuals requiring longer-term
counseling associations arc encouraged
to seek help through a private professionaicounseling pra&lt;3ice ora communityspo-n sored counseling center.
• Howllest to meet tudent needs
The policy. practiced by many campus
counseling centers around the counlry,
touc;hes.. on a controversy within the
profession. At issue is the quesrion of
how students" needs can best be met by
these counseling cente.rs. operaring on
ever-tightening budgets and expected to
help the most students for the least
money. It is. Thorner admits. a difficult
call.
.
.. Some st4dents come in with a
question like, "Should I stay in school or
shouldn' 1?." and the issue has to be
resolved within a re&lt;Monable period of
time. That kind of situation."he projects,
.. may well lend.- itself to a discussion of
what 's pulling the student to drop out ...

. an emotional upset of some kind "' .

Sometimes. ho'ol.·ever. the pro blem is

ex ploration a nd analysis . Thorner
illustrates:

say. "I can' study." Well, the reason he
co uldn"t study was because he was

become more relaxed , his anx iet y level
went down . he was able to stud y, and

If the controversy over s hort~term
versus long-term treatment in co.llegia te
clinics co ntinues among Thorner and-his
colleagues. it wiiJ not. he assures. affect
the quality of the services dispensed by
UI B"s Centers.
The problems addressed by the
programs -and workshops . Gale and
Thorner qescribe are. they emphasize.
very real sources of personal stress for
many University students. But yo u could
solve everyone of them. they say, and you
still wouldn"t have touched two problem
areas that" crea tC more serious. healththreatening, psychological and physical
danger for Ul B students than any of the
others.
Depression
There are substantial indications, says
Gale, that depression is one of the most
serious problems plaguing u; B students.
The Ul B Division of Student Affairs
reports that. of the 236 pre-recorded
messastes available to callers on the
Direct Information Access !-ine(DIAL/ 636-2259), the most frequently requested
tape IS on " How To Cope With
Depression. ..
Gale notes that the increasing
incidence of depression among studenlS
is not without traceable causes.
Unemployment. both among students"
parents and as a looming prospect ror
students themselves, accounts for a good
part of the problem. • And certainly,"' she
adds. "the pressures of being put through
school by parents who may be laid off or
dipping into life savi ngs to foot the bill
ca n cause great anxiety ...
Alcohol
Thorner speaks oft he other dark element
of st udent troubles. The word Is aJoohol.
"I think this campus has a real alcohol
problem,· Thomet says frankly. and the
stati~tics he produces- to support his
contention are nothing if not sobering.

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

his first official pre§s
conference as President
of U/ B Wednesday morning
and fielded questions from
representatives of the major
Off-and on-campus media on
issues ranging from the fate
of suspended students to the
future of General Edt,~cation,

.)
from th e ~ problem of handicapped
access to Harri!Dan to the plight of
graduate students and the ptimary issues
facing higher education.
Sample told the assembled newsperson • whose questions related primarily
to Squire Hall issues. that he had met for
aboureigbtilours-=ruesday until midnight
with 29 of the Students who were suspended at Friday night"s sit-in at Squire.
During the individual meeti ngs. he said .
"I heard a point of view I hadn' heard
before,io a nd cxpecteQ to announce his
decision on the suspensions Wednesday
afternoon .
.. I'm very impressed with the fa ct that
the protests were peaceful ... .he commented. "' I'm also q uite impr~se d with
the people involved. They are by and
large a real fine a nd very si ncere group of
people."'
•
His decisiQn will be. affected by that
percePtion. he said. but he qual ified his
answer by adding. .. on the other hand. the
group intent.ionaiiYand knowi ngly chose
to break thC law. Thlsls a very serious
matter to me_and c3nnot be lightl y dismissed . I have a deep respect for people
exercising the'ir legal and constitutional
rights and will bend ove r backwards t o
help them do that, but I don' have a lot of
symP"'thyfor people knowingly breaking
·the law."
Sample said he would make his decisio ns on a case.. by&lt;asc; ba_s.is. .
.
An Amherst union!
. He tol(J the assembled repo rters that the
campus master plan.. includes· a student
activities center for the Amherst Campus ·
which he hopes will be under constructiC'n this year.

."It doesn't really sa tisfy all the
requirements--for a student union •.,. he
added. "'Whether there will be a student
union at tt\e University at Buffalo will
have to be-addressed iq the near future. I
do have a very open mind about student
unions. But I haven"t been here or on the
job long enough to know whether it is
right fort he University it Buffalo:i can~
come off the plane and make pro. nouncements immediately about such
issues."
Ask.ed·about the problem of.accessibility ·for th~ h1fndicapped to ijarriman

According to Holmes, things needn'
be this way because war is a proltlem of
man's own creation that can be'$olved by
min's oWn efforts. .. But, to bring this
about, .. he said, "wiU require a great deal

Today, most of the therapy and

Materialistic
Today's freshmen are more
interested in making money
than. any class in r.ecent years
-oday's college freshmen are
more interested in making
money and being fina11cially
well-&lt;&gt;fT than any other class in
reCent years. according to -the sixt~nth
annual survey of entering freshmen
conducted by UCLA- and the America n
·
Council on Education .
early two-thirds of this year's
freshmen (65.2%). compared to 63.3%
last year and ' only 43.5% in 19~7 . report
that ... ~ing well-off financially .. is a very
importa nt goal in life. At the same time.
67 .0Ck (compared to 63.4% last yea r and
only 49.9% in 1971) sa y that a very
importa nt rea son for deciding to go to
· colle
is ...to be able to make more
money ..

T

U/8 frOsh art tven more so
U/ 8 freshmen are even more materialistic. Here 77.9% of all freshmen
ans\\"ering the survey indicate that
-getting a better job"' is a very imponant
reason for t~irdcciding tb go to college.
Only student) at predominantly black
colleges rate that consideration more
highly - g2.7% of the freshmen at those
schools. Similarly. 72.2% of Ul B
freshmen report that .. to make more
money" is a good reason for college. The
trenCI wa s again reflected in response to
questions on important life objectives
where 72.4% of UI B freshmen agreed
that being ··very well off financiall y- is a
major objective of theirs. Al selective
public institutions comparable to U/ 8
67. 1% of frdhmen cited this goal;
nationally only 65.2% did so.
Other 1mportant reasons for college
cited by more than half the Ul B freshmen
were: to gain a general education (67.6%).
to learn more about things (75.3%). to
meet new and interesting people (58.6%).
and to prepare for graduate school
(54.6%). The percentage who plan to
prepare for graduate school was slightly
higher than for freshmen at our peer
institutions. But. again. higher degrees
.translate to higher pa y.
Poli,t ical conservatism
.. The increasing materialism of college
freshmen nat ionally has been accom~ • panied by increased political conservatism," repons UCLA .Professor Alexander W. Ast in. director of the survey.
Stud e nt s labelling themselves a s
conservative increased from 17. 1 to
19.6% - this year while those labelling
themselves as liberal dropped from 19.6
to 18. 1%.
Slight drops were noted in both the
"far left" (from 2. r to 1.6%) and "far
right" (1.2 to 1.1 %) categories.
U1B freshmen are more liberal. Here
one·fourth of the entering students
describe themselves a s either liberal
(23.5%) or far left ( 1.5%). UI B also has a
lower percentage of self-styled..conse rvatives. Only 15.9% of freshmen here are
conservative and only I% far iighL Last
year. 24.9% of U/ B freshmen considered
themselves liberals. 2% were far left, and
only 13.4% were conservative/ far right.
"Where students on i~ left of the
political spectrum· nationally out·
numbered thG$0 on the right by better
than two-to-one (38.1 versus 15.2%~ 10
yea11 ago." reports Dr. Astin, "those on
the right now slighUy outnumber those
on the left . . The majority (59.6%).
however. still lahelthemselvesas'middleof-lbe-road'." .Aimone U/ B freshmen, the
figure is 58.1%.
The faU 1981 survey. is based on
questionnaires completq:l by 284,938 new
freshmen enterioj a national sample of
Sa7 tw&lt;&gt;-• and . fG; r-year coiJeaes and

UI B was the first choice of 58.3% of

they may transfer ( 10.5% here and just
6.7% at peer schools). Nationally, 74.5%

Just over half of UI B freshmen
reported parental income over $25.000
per year (53.1%). while almost65%' of
freshmen at our peer schools reponed
family income over that amount. Slightly

institutions came from families which
earn $40,000 or more: only about 20% of
UI B s~udents reported family income
above $40,000.
More U/ B freshmen come from blue

three speakers complained at a
campus panel discussion last
Thursday in Baldy Hall. •
Theeve~t . sponsored by the U/ B chapter of the Intercollegia te Studies Institute
(lSI). in conjunction with the Political
Science Depanment here. featured Dr.
Raphael Waters, associate professor of
philosoph y at Niagara Un ive rsi ty. as
main speaker. Following Watc:rs. discussion and ~o mmentary were givtn'by Dr.
Richard Cox. U/ B professo r of polit ical
science. and bv James Likoudts. author
and head of Catholics United for the
Faith.
Waters argued for the need to
recognize thac there is a problem with the
way human sexualfty is viewed in today's
society - a problem due primarily to the
lack of a sexual morality among a growing number of people. he said ... There: is a
moral bewilderment that exists toda y and
anybody who denies this just hasn) been
outside the walls of a university. "according'fo Waters. "Not only is there theft.
thuggery and violence but there are also
broken marriages. si ngle parenthood.
and a variety of other moral dilemmas."
he noted .

~~~~!!e:~ea:'mS:sual freedom 1
Cox discussed how the so-called "sexual
re\olution" has attempted to uso basic
political righu to establish sexual rights.
Cox referred to two books written in the
early 70s. "The Rape of the Ape"(America n puritan ethic). by Allen Sherman,
a nd ··v our Sexual Bill of Rights."by L.V.
Ra imes as examples of this.
"'Both books promote a sex ual freedom in our society by attacking the nobilitt of ou r political tradition. They. in
effect.. reduce the greatness of the cause
our forefathers were fighting for - the
throwing over of a tyrannical1ovemment
in England. These types of wntings try to
relate sex ual freedom with our basic political rights and that's not what our system was based on.· Cox added.
According to Cox. while our forefathers did. in fact . seek to advocate
rights, they at the same time were advocating a vi rtue and morality among the
citizenry.· Cox feels this espousing of
vinue is something that can be learned
from the great classiCS of western tradition - the works of St. Thomas Aquinas~
Aristotle. the Bible. a.nd even Shakespeare. "Thinking and reflecting on the
whole range of human activity. including
exual activity. ca n be made easier by
looking to these great works... said Cox.

·Moral Mess"
The reasons for the .. moral mess .. in hiS
vie w can be directly related to a lack of
understandiJ'Ig of the norms and rules
which dictate the course of human behavior. Waters feels few people have faced
th e questio n of morality, as it relates to
human se:xuality. on a .. fair and square
basis. When we look ~ at 1he issue of
human sex ualit y we don't want emotional answers. we want rational ones.
What does rea son dictate as to how a
human being should act in terms of sexu"Science is at fa ult'

Candidates
sQught for
FSS dean
The Search Co mmittee (or the Dean of
the Faculty of Social Sciences has been
asked to recommend to Vice President
for Academic Affairs R-aben Rossberg
bctweenlwo and four inn-rna/candidates
for the· deanship by June I, 1982. The
Committee is now soliciting throughout
the University nominations of possi ble
candidates and is especiaHy interested
in recOmmendations frQm the faculty,
staff, and students in the Faculty of
Social Sciences.
The charge to the Committee describes
the responsibilities of the deanship and
the qualities so ught in its holder as
follows:
.. The Dean is the ctlfef academic and
administrat ive officer of the Faculty. In
consultation with the chairpersons and
program directors. the Dean is especially
responsibiC: for ensurihg a nd strengt hening the quality of the Faculty's
instr uetio nal and research activities.
fosteri ng the development of high quality
interdepanmental and inte r~ Facu1t y
graduate a nd undergraduate programs.
~nd advising the Vice President for
Academic Affairs in the effective use of
resources within the Faculty.
.
"The persons considered for the
position of Dean sho uld have demonstra_ted an understanding of and
commitment to scholarly excellence.
They should also have a grasp of _
prot5l.ems. trends, an d issues in related
disciplines and be able to provide
intelle-ctual and academic leadership on a
· Faculty-Wi de basis. Their understanding
of, and co mmitment to quali ty research
and community service should go h a nd~
in·hand with a concern for stim ul ating
and imaginative teaching. Candidates
should also be sensitive to the current
fiscal situa tion in higher education in
ge neral and in SUNY in pa'rticular. ...
This statement will generally guide the
Committee, the group says. But the
Committee will also b~ inn uenced · by
co mments from members of the Social
Sciences &amp; Administrat ion Faculty
a boutthe.qualities desired in a "&lt;lean and .
the needs of the Faculty for th e future.
and it welcomes such advice.
Please communicate any nominations

T ransfer articulation

learn that one of Durkin's priorities is to
work on a transfer articulation agree·

Engineering Professor Dennis Malone
for that very reason.
Accord ing to a mandate from Lhe
Chancellor, four-yea r SlJNY units must

that UI B is experiencing difficult y, in

fewer transfers than it should... ~~ State.
for instance. transfers compose approxima tely 47 per cent of ne~ enrollees. At

Durkin noted .
Though U/ B has many more prQ:
grammatic offerings than State. Durkin
says developing an articulation agreement won't be insurmountable. though
he admits it will be difficult. But that is
merely one facet of a cohesive recruitment strategy. Attention must also be

Because of a number offactors (such as

Public schools now more selective
When Buff State land U j B) experienced
an increase in freshmen enrollments even
as the student pool was drainat ically
decreasing. Durkin admitted that at first
he thought the occ urrence was a fluke .
Now he knows it is not . In the face of this.
he explains, public institu tions are no
longertaki ng allthe bodies they can. The
reaso n is that. instead of being compensated financially for the ad ditional ..
Q.!lmbers, institutions found they were
being penalized for overenrolling. LegislaJors-are no longer willing to fund public
institutions based on enrollment figures.
he indicated. As a result , Durkin said
such schools as U/ Band State are choosing to enroll only the number of students
they can serve. in terms of classroo m
space. programs and student services.
Institutional fit
Durkin believes his biggest challenge here
will be to "design a recrui ting pla n that is
clearly aimed at institutio nal fit. .. By that.
he means a plan that will "auract acad em·
ically talented students to U I B who will
stay, w ill persist.
.. I don't know if that sounds grandiose
or not , but what I'm driving at is·that it
does the institution and cenai nly the student little good if a stude nt is sold a bill of
goods a nd arrives, - even loaded with
academic talent. at an institution at
which he or she cannot survive. We must
make students fully aware of what this
institution is and wha1 is expected of
them. This relates very definitely to
retention and institut ional fit."
Once t hat happens, Durkin predicts.
UI B " will not only get the kind of students it wants and in sufficient numbers,
' but it will get ' persisters,' students who
end up graduating here."
Meanwhile, Durkin thinks 'UI B "is
quite a place ... He is .. impressed''with the

Andrew Topolski, 30. whose impres. sive drawings arc heady reflectiOns on the

native, is eager for the .. more conducive"'
atmosphere of New York, and is planning

tentative job lined up working for an
architect, and .js apparently not so
attached to Buffalo that he'll sacrifice a
chance to ~xperienOe New York'S "'better

During the February - 19 Bethune
opening, Topolski .j'ho favors occasional. musical accompaniment to his
work, performed, with Ned Wood, a
composition fOr orga:n, electric piano and
sy nthesizer. The music· isn't really

One ex-Buffalo artist already famil.iar
with ""the city," is Michael Ross, who
settled in New York after earning a 1981
MFA in painting from Columbia: He
received tbe BFA from U1B, also [n
painting, in 1978. New York is exciting,
he says; sometimes it inspires gft:at love,
sometimes itttedse hate. But Ross, 27, is
happy he made the move. He li~es in

�Edward Albee 's. play. The Death of
Bessie Smith more than
decade
before showing up as Nurse Ratchet!
in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
A lbee based his play on the true
account of the great blues singer's
death from an automobile accident
aftershewasrefusedadmission into a white hospital. Albee said his play
began as ··a statement of outrage
over raci al prejudice i n the South, bu
became a socio-economic exa.mina- ·
tion of a •time and place. I had not
been to the South when I wrote the
play. " he wrote. " and I was barely
consci ous during the period of its set- ting, but Southerners old enough to
remember tell me it's all o-n target;!' Albee 's estimation of what he
accomplished is a bit ambitious. and
h1s .. socio- economic eXamination'' is
&lt;a ther obli e. but his eer for dia ·
Iogue makes the play reflect the
behavior of a certain kind of socioeconomic group as did his later
" Who 's Afraid of Virg ioia Woc)lf?" In
fact . the Nurse (wh_o ha's. as su its a
mythic character, no name beyond

a

that) is a sort offore&lt;unnerof Martha
in the later play, with the same
combination of viciousness. misery.
cleverness and misdirected
sexuality. Her verbal fencing with the
Intern shares the savage bite of the
Martha-George exchanges.
She loves black music, and espe cially loves to torment her bedridden,
fraudulent old Southern cracker of a
father by play10g her " goddam nigger
records all the. time." But to appreciate Bessie Smith as a singer and tO
allow her entry into a white hospital
are two different things. Beyond that,
it is hate that motivates ancfanimates
the Nurse's behavior towards f!Very one, white and black.
An intere~tlng device.i n the play is
that its heroine, Bessje Smith, is
never heard Or seen . But she is a
constant presence an absent
presence - and the theme of Bess'ie
counterpoi nts and heightens th e
themes of the characters we come to
know - the Nurse, the Intern, the
Orderly. It's finally through their private despair and fr u stra tion. as well

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

.
U/ B was one of four umverstues 10 the
state to place in the top 50 and the only
university center in the State Univ(rsity '
system to do so. Columbia University and
New York University placed above UI Bat
II and 2k! respectively, while Syracuse
placed below the University at 44.
The top ten spots went . in order of rank.

Saskatchewan, Case Western Reserve,

Alabama and Oklahoma State.
I Ou!,.of the 10 I schools invoJr:&lt;~ in the

survey, UI B placed a very respectable 2.1st
in total mi.roform hofdmgs. 23rd in
number of professional statf (FTE). 28th in

periodical expenditures. 33rd in total itims

Libraries have lost 29 lines in the pa st five

yc:ars ·(not including the seven assessed in
this year's Executive Budget) it should
cOme as no surprise that the lowest rank -

5 1st -

came in total numbe r of (FTE)

"non-professional staff. ''

Since the last ARL rankings in 1975-76,
the Libraries have improved in six of 13
c~tegoriCs. For instance. U/ 8 went from
70 in materia ls txpenditures and mute rials
an d bindingscxpenditures in 1975-76 to 44
·and 43. re spectively, jn th e 1980-81 survey.
The Libraries also gained significant
ground in current periodicals. going from
60 to 42 durtng the five-year interval. On
the flip Side. however, tWe Libraries· rankings declined in total items'borrowed (from
5 to 28): total items loaned (18to 33); sala r•
i.S and wages expenditures (28 to 42), and
number of non-profeSsional staff (from 30
to 51). Three ot her drops were less

peers was devi$td. several years back by·
former VPAA' Ronald Bunn when work
be~an on Ul B's academic plan. Peer
institutions are supposed to ha ve a similar ·
character and mission as this one. with
approximately the same number of
programs. students, 'etc.
Compariqg libraries , a.t these pt!er
schools. the U/ B Libraries place in the top
half in q nl y ~o of 17 categories: total
items borrowed and total microform holdings. On the other hand. U/ B ranks i11,the
bot1om quarter in ten categories. among
them : Ph . D_'s aw8rded, number of

Going from the national tQ the state level.
if ont casually C.O!llpares the various Category rankings for U/ B's libraries to those
for Albany and Stony Brook - SUNY-s
'Other A R L libraries - one might conclude
that U1B should sto'p ctying for more
funds and uncork, the champagne. UI B
Ubrarics Director Saktidas Roy is quick
to suggest. though, that aspirin might be;
more appropriate. •

T-he figures sh~w. for exumple. that out
of 101 ARL libraries.
Albany was dead last

in total volumes and Stony Brook placed ,
88th. U/ B by contrast. was no. 40. In the
category of total staff, again. I soared
past :O.Ibany and Stony- Brook, placing
38th. Albany was 90th and Stoi\Y Brook
78th. The story is repeated for total operating expenses with U/ B placing 43rd;
Albany. g9th: andStony Brook, 72nd . The
same is trut for every othercategoryexcept

get less to sPend on acquisitions per'

equated student than do any of the others.
For example, (o~ the core campus
(including the Law School), Ul Blast year
spent $92.64 per . equated student for
acquisitions. Albany spent $120.76;
Binghamton, $166.52, and Stony Brook,
S 108.68. A similar pi~ure emerges for the
health sciences: UI 8, S1S0.28 per student;
Downstate, $164; Stony Brook, $324.90,
and Upstate, $2!\9.72.
_
TJ{e lower per equated student sums take
on further Significance, Roy points out,
when one considers the number of
programs Offered at each institution. UI B,
for instance. offers 99 master's and 89
doctoral programs; Srony Brook has 29
and 25. respectively; 1\lbapy, 46 and 22,
and B.inghamton, 30 a nd 16, respectively.
Also not remcted ~~ the 'figures, the
Director adds, is the fact that UJ B has split
campuses .and must maintain salellite
libraries. Unlike the other health science
centers, U/ B's does not hav.. its own
hospital and must proVide assistance to
faculty located at separate affiliated a'nd
associated hospitals in the a'rea. To boot,
many medical faculty have adjunct as
opposed to full faculty status, Roy notes.
Thus, whi le their status prohibits 1hem
from receiving monetary reCognition m the ,
Libraries' budget, full library services are
nevertheless provided to them.

legislators to. pn:scnt the so\&gt;ering facts
on Governor Carey's 1982-83 fiscal_plal'll
Koren saia. it was his impression the
legislators are ..aware of cv~rything in1.he ...
budget" and he urged members of the
Council to study the document carefully
so they "'ill know "what they are talking
about-" when dealing with the lawmakers.
"Tbe proposed 1982-83 Executive
Budget is a highly deceptivc,docu.m cnt in
terms of its tru~ impa~ upon the U niver~
sity... Ketter read from ·the University's
ppsition paper." Although the total operating funds proposed for this campus $1.27:5-million- would seem to n:pn:scnt an increase of S6.4-million, the total
·actually constitutes a reduction. "(here
are t-wo major reasons for this.. First,
fixed cost hikes will require considerably
more thao.ihe proposed allocation for.
them. The University a1 ..... Buffalo
n:quested S13.2-million to cover such
fixed cost inct,ea~; however. the pro• posed Executive Budgci n:commcnds
onlyS9.9-million. As a n:sult, this significant m:luctibn will have to be absorbed fil
other fuActionS." ·,~
. ·
Ketter said. ...the failure of State
funding to k~p pace ~th inflation,a cy
and cOntractual costs has been apparent
throughout the past decade. SharP'
increases in self·gencratcd -rcve_n~..such •
as tuition and dormitory fentat.inc:reases.
have not closed the gap. The overall effect
has been to place a greater · financial
burden upon th!"' 01iddlc income .student
and to reduce the academic strengtll of
· our insiitutions through the gradual
_ absorption of -reductions in purchasing
power and cuti iri positions ....
The effect of this slow erosion ...
tibwever. pales in compafison.. with the • ·
immediate impact of the propo_sed 198283 Executiw: Budget. Ketter noted,
"primarily because of the second n:ason

cleaning 27,000 square feet. (This )S
roughly the equivalent of ien threebedroom houses.)"

T

Not.'overdramatlud'
The redu ctions outlin~d ••are not

Ketter went on.
"They an: the actual sfeps we will be
forccid to take if the proposed Executive
Budget is adopted as it stand's. Persons on
the sqppon staff will be terminated on
Apnll aod faculty on July 1. Mon:over,
it must be emphasized thaL we arc talking
of Currently employed people and not
vacant positions. The latter capital has
aln:ady been spent."
Ketter said, "Reductions throughout
the SUNY system wen: derive.t by a
formula which heavily penalized
campuses. that surpassed their budgeted

EOP problems will get
coordinated attention

I

n an effon to bring cohesion to a
previously fragmented minority
studen t recruitment program.

,
Vice P resid~nt Robert Rossberg
has proposed creauon of a new associate
vier- p residen t for academic affairs with
special respo nsibilities in this area.
The new associate vice president,
Rossbe rg said , will chair a coordinating
committee of individuals responsible for
various aspects of minority recruitment
a nd ad missions. will head the Educational
Opportunity Prog ram (the University's
pri mary ve hicle for assisting disadva ntaged minorities to receive a college
educa tion), and wi ll integrate services for
mi nori ty students.
:ro begi n with, Rossberg said, Dr.
Ro ben Palmer will take on the post in an
acting capacity (has taken it on. act ually).
PcUJ.ne r's interi m a ppoi ntment awaits
p rocessing of pa perwork by the
Pres ident's office, Rossberg re ported.
Pa lmer is currently director of the TRIO
progra ms, a separate tri-pronged effon
to ide ntify a nd att ract mi nority st udents.
He will conti nue in that capaci ty while
the ..pos-si ble parameters a nd problems"
of the new post are being defined , a nd a
regular a ppointment , made.
Ann ou nce ment of the new organizationa l a lignment came a t 4lst Friday's
Co uncil meeti ng at which Rossber~
reported on the EO P.
Targets missed last fall
Several Co uncil members had exp ressed
conce rn last fa ll whe n it was re pon ed that
U/ B had fa iled to .meet its EOPfresb man
enroll ment ta rge t fo r 1981. Acco rd ing to
fig ures re ported a t that time, U/ B
reache&lt;! o nly 53.7 pe r ce nt of its goal: 188
fres hmen out of a targeted 350. That
perfo rma nce was the worst - percentage-wise - of any SUNY graduate
ce nt er. La~k. of follow-u p in seeing that

EOP students' applications were
properly filled--out was cited as a major
reaso n for the shortfall in a report
prepared by Malcolm Agostini, the
University's Affirmative Action officer.
Agostini also cited a need to improve
communication between Admissions and
Records and the EOP.
At Friday's Council meeting. President
Robert L. Ketter said that in addition to
the steps taken by Rossherg. he had
approved use of endowment monies to
fund three new positions in Admissions
and Records to deal exclusively with
efforts to recruit minorities.
The EOP program at U/ B, Rossberg
told the Council, serves between 800 to
1.000 students admiucd under special
regula tions designed to provide access to
higher education to the economically and
educationally disadvantaged .
EOP, however. Is charged with more
than simply identifyi ng. recruiting and
_a dmitting stude nts. Rossberg explained.
Legislation creating the program also
requires that students be helped to
complete a college degree. Colleges and
universities have to provide adacemic
advisement, counseling and tutoring as
required [including compensatory and
develnpmen~J education in areas such as
reading, English and math]. The
University's Learning Center~- housed
in the Faculty of Educational Studies plays the latter role. Rossberg said.
Dfsc rep•ncies in EOP perfo rmance
Rossberg to ld Council members that his
office has been engaged for the past
several months in a "massive academic
planning effort" \\ith an eye toward
potential reorganization. EOP was
amo ng areas looked at, the VPAA noted .
In checking on bachelor·s degrees earned
by E0P'1lnd regularly-admitted students.
the vice president said he found startling

Specker

discrepancies. Four years afte r initial
admission to u, B. Rossberg reported , 45
per cent of regularl y admitted students
have been awarded bachelor's degrees;
only 10 per cent of EOP students earn a
bachelor's wilhin the same period . Five
or six years after initial enrollment, 60 per
cent of regularly-admitted students have
earned a bachelor's, compared to only 18
per cent of EOP enroiJecs. " Somewhere.
services and retention rates are lacking ...
Rossberg said. He wondered why. he told
the Council.
At a lunch he se t up with some. of the
campus's bes t minority students.
Ross berg reported:-he learned that in the
eyes of these students. serious problems
exist in the quality of their lives on campus
life and in the delivery of s.ervices and
programs. One student told Rossberg the
Unive rsit y experience had been "the most
segregated ex perience·· of that st udent's
life. Others called the University nonsupportive. non-responsive. unfriendl y.
Meanwhile. Rossberg said. a Presidential Task Force dealing wi th students
accepted through non-traditional pro-

Ra.eberg want• to shore-up EOP.

grams urged in its report better
coordination of efforts to pro\'ide
service~ and pointed out a need for clearly
identified leadership in minority
programs. The task is one of integration
of activities. tbe report said.
Recent changes in the structure of the
Univhsity - the creation of an Office of
Academic Services and a change in
leadership in A&amp; R - provided an
opportunity to renegotiate issues that
seemed to be causing problems, the
academic vice president said. Rossberg's
plan for a new associate vice president
resulted .
Coo perati ve activ it ies
The new structure. Rossberg said. offers
the possibility for cooperative activities
in developing improved approaches to
both recruitment-admissions a nd the
performance of the EOP program.
Palmer told the Council he is confident
change.s can be made and suggested that
having· the EOP-minority student
responsibility resting in the Office of the
VPAA provides the director of the
program with more clout.
Mo re th an clout
More than clout, Ross bergsaid. "we need
a change in attitude lO indicate that. yes,
we want minority student s here and. yes.
we want them to succeed."
Empbasi1ing that it is his Understanding that an aggressive recruitment and
application completion process for EOP
students is essential. Council member
Travis Ballard asked for monthly updates
on EO P admissions progress this spring.

.
Approxima tely 1100 applications for
EOP a re c urrently on file . Palmer said.
He said with proper coordi na tion a nd
improved follow-up. the fa ll 1982 goal
shou ld be met. He la ter indicated that
there were 1600 applications last year
when only 188 enro lled.
Ketter subm itted that last year's poor
yield was a major reason fo r add ition of
the three EO P ruruilme nt special ists to
the A&amp; R staff. The President noted. too.
a need to beef·up recruitment in the 8th

emphasis on property values seemed to
express the feeling, "J pon' want my
quiet residential neighborhood invad~
by a horde of .scruffy stude.nts on

bicycles .~ As taxpayers. the critics of the
bikeway seemed reconciled to paying for
the buses whic;h transport students
between the campuses. Evidently busing
of st uden ts minmiz~s their impact on the
commu nity.
But how does the theme of maintaining
privacy and quiet squar~ ~ith the
complaint that the route ts 11l-&lt;:hosen
because of the number of traffic
accidents? Behind the rc(Idents' brave
facade is a fear that the traditional
character of Eggensville is threatened by
the development of Amherst. not just by
the new campus of the University. but by
the housing de velopments, shopping
plazas, business offices. and movie
theaters that have been o r will soon be
built along Sheridan Drive and beyond.
The neighborhood is not as quiet as it
once was. Traffic congestion has
increased. and accidents are common.
Beer cans and Burger King cups appear
on front lawns overnight. The houses are
getting older. and a few show signs of
neglect. Protesting th e bikeway is one
1\\'ay for long-time residents to express
the ir outrage at becoming part of a
genuinely urbanized area . They fear
additional changes. As one lifelong
resident and cyclist said about the idea of
bikeways. - It's unknown in New York
State. a nd we fear the unknown ...
The fate of the bikeway depends on the
Amherst Town Board . which must decid e
the parking question. The picture has
, unfortunately become one of cor\nict
between the interests of the University
community a nd those of the affected
homeowners . It can be hoped that the
members of the board will consider the
iss ue from the point of view of the
interests of the community as a whole.
rather than trying to capitalize politically
on the residents' fears . If a better bicycle
route can be found, it deserves
. co n~ideration . In the words of one
concerned citizen, .. It's a problem that
has to be solved - It has to be done
rationally."

Wheil a nswe rs ' are required of the
computer. such as in ~omputation s . these
a lso a re s p~k e n .

lind studei&gt;ts attending Ul 8 now
bave at their disposal a computer
terminal that "talks.''
This revolutionary piece q_f
equip~enl allows a blind or sightimpaired student to make full use of the
university's academic computer system
w\thbut the need to ~lhe terminal's
video display screen.
i.
"'~'
"""f Course, it takes special training for a
blind student to use the equipment, and
that"s where Sydney (Donna is her given
name) McCarthy comes into the picture.
McCarthy, a programmer·analyst in
the Academic Computing Department at
Ridge Lea, reported that all is in readiness for training b[md students to use tbe
riew equipment. A J S-year vete-ran in the
computing center, McCarthy also carries
th~ in-hou~e title of chief applications
analyst. •
~
•
The terminal itself is quite conventional in appearance, complete yiith a
keyboard and video display screen. What
1'\akes it different is the addition of special. ... h@rdware" consisting Qf two tiny
informatio.n-pii!'Jced "chips" that create
an artificial voice.
·
·
One of tbe chips is called a
...complicated--sound synthesizer.... The
other feeds instructions to lhe computer
on how to 111ake the sounds recognizable

•

Two or three times slower
The operation is relat ively slow: dependina on a student~ capacity to assimilate
th ~ spoken words, letter by ~etter. or
mathematical formulas. number by
number. McCarthy estimated that the
process probably is two or three times
slower than for a person with normal
vision.
Dr. Ja"'eavil_t, U1B's director of academic computing. said the speeialtermimil was purchaS;ed for about $1.,500. with
his department and the U Ill&gt; Office of
Services for the Handicapped (OSH)
· sharing the cost. About 30 blind or sight•mpaired students are registered witf!
OSH .
McCarthy noted (hat a relined venion
ofthe "talking ter\nirial~lllready is on the m3rk'h. This newer version. she pointed
out. contains the additional capability of
. producing printouts in. braille. ,

Mark Aldenderfer
heads Math College
&amp; survey unit
ark Aldenderfer went into
Anthropology ''to avoid
numbers" after an undergraduate battle with the calculus and organic chemistry courses
required for pre-med . Today. however,
he is the recently appointed master of
U/ B's College of Mathematical Sciences
(CMS) where emphasis is on the relationship of math til the fqll spect rum of
human endeavor.
The change in Aldenderfer's outlook
came in graduate school when he realized
he "couldn' hide from numbers." In fact.
he ,went _ into quontH'ativ~ anthropology begtuse l'enn State (Where he
to'ok his M.A. and Ph. D.) has a stro ng
J)f"Ogram in that area. By the time he was
finished • .he had learned not only to
endure. but also to like math.
So intense did his interest become that
after two years here as director of fhe
University 's Archaelogical Survey.
Aldenderfer welcomed a chance to get
back to more mathematics through his
affiliation with CMS. His role as master,
though, involves more than numbers.
As several of the calleges have been
recently, CMS in 1980-81 was floundering. It had no master and no guidance
other than that which the Colleges' dean's
office was willing to provide to the
students who held the unit together
during the year. Aldenderfer had to look
in several directions at once: He was
faced with the need to reconstruct a
faculty board representing a broad range
of University disciplines. There was a
need'io develop new courses to follow the

M

Another salient ·feature of CMS.
One new course Aldenderfer would
Aldenderfer points out. is its student
like to introduce would deal with .. The
orgail1zcd and operated computer

U/B E_nglish language ambassador (s off to China
By MILT CARLIN
his time. it's off to China for
Marianne R. Santillo. who
might well he described as UI B's
"Engl_ish~anguage ambassador."
Ms. Santillo's departure on February 4
marked her fourth venture overseas as an
Engtioh teacher. Her other assignments
took her to Japan, Algeria and Tunisia.
Santillo has agreed to spend a year at
Fujian Teachers' University in Fuzhou
City "(formerly Foochow) in Fujian
Province, People's Republic of China.
That's about halfway hetween Shanghai
a-nd Canton at a latitude similar to Ft.
Lauderdale's.
Assigned to the Chinese university's
Department of Foreign Languages,
under Dean Xie Dezhen, Ms. Santillo
plans to teach three courses to senior~
level students who themselves expect to
become English teachers in China.
.. Senior level" is comparable to «graduate
level" in the United States, she explained.

T

Chinese 'reeyclinl' their efforts
The Chinese currently are "recycling
them5elves,"Santillo relAted, to bring the
English language to the forefront, instead
of ~ussian, as the nation's primary
foreign language.
EYer sifll"' President Nixon uopened
the door" to 'renewed Sino·American
relations, Santillo explained, the Chinese

government has emphasized the need for
.. international dialogue" through use of
English.
The ' need to train more English
teaChers in China, she recalled, was best
brought out by a lecturer who mentioned
that "there are 250 million potential
English students" there.
Her role in helping to develop greater
proficiency in .the teach ing of English as
a foreign language in China, Santillo
reported, is linked to the Chinese
gove~ment's desire to upgrade the
nation's economy by making greater use
of scientific and technical information
written in En~lish .
Santillo was chosen for her assignment
by the Foreign Experts Bureau of China's
S\ate Council on the basis of an application she sent via the Chinese Embassy in
Washington .
Ten years with JELl
Much of her career has been tied to the
Intensive English Language Institute at
UI B, which she joined in 1971 afterthree
years ofteachingin Japan. During her 10
years with I ELI, she served as a lecturer
in "English as a foreign language,"
' became engaged in curriculum and
program design and became assistant
director. Also an instructor of English
composition and literature at Erie
Community College in Williamsville,
Santillo requested a leave of absence
from that position for her China jaunL

A candidate for a doctorate in ·t he
Department of Instruction here, Santillo
has completed all course requirements
for her Ph.D. except for preparation of a
required dissertation. Its suggested title is
"A Model Program for the Teaching of
Scientific and Technical English to Non~
Native Speakers:"

Three mailbars full
In preparation for her trip to China,
Santillo forwarded three mailbags filled
with books and other teaching materials,
including information developed . by
several UI B faculty. Under postal
regulations, each sack must be limited to
66 pounds in weight at 43 cents a pound.
In her first year at the Intensive English
Language Institute, Santillo took a
course in Intensive Chinese at U/ 8.
While teaching in Japan, she related. she
also studied the Chinese language.
Besides English and Chinese, she
speaks Japanese. French and Italian,
having concentrated on language studies
while earning her bachelor's and master's
at U / B.
She spent the 1978-79 academic year in

From p•cr I,

~:ol

Algeria as a senior Fulbright lecturer and
consultant in the teaching of English as a
foreign language, and the summer of
1980 in Tunisia, where she taught an
English program, designed by herself, to
prepare Tunisian Ph.D. candidates for
science and technology studies at U.S.
universities. The latter program was
sponsored by the U.S. International
Communication Agency.
Santillo said that during her stay in
China she will reside in quarters on, or
near, the Fujian campus. In addition to
room and board, the Chinese government will provide a stipend equivalent to
S380 per month for living expenses.
Her purpose in going is three-fold. She
wants to improve her knowledge of
Chinese; she hopes, in some small way, to
contribute to the development of better
Sino-American relationships and she sees
her role as contributing to an important
academic service.

Santillo, who in private life is Mrs.
Ahmad N. Hammoud, said her husband
will continue his studies in engineering at
U/ B while she is away.

_ Television and radio signals are .
generated by accelerating electrons. If
electrons are accelerated' in a c ircular
path at speeds close to that oft he speed of
light. they emit ve ry. intense radiation.
Depending on-the electron energy a nd the
radius of t1u:' circular path, the specirum

'lighlthrotlgh ultraviolet and into x-rays.
The new Light Source. will consist of
two elecrron ~ torage .rings which will
contain acce.leratlng electrons producing
synchrotron .-..adiation. (Because ra'diation of this intensit-y was l'i ~st identified in
an electron · accelerator called a
synchrotron \ it is termed ..sync hrotron
_radiation" or ..synchrot rol"! light.)
The Smaller ring. Whose diameter is
~approximately SO feel . will accelerate
electrons to 700 million electron volts to
produce. ultraviolet radiarion that can .be
el&lt;tracted at 16 pons. The larger ring.
which is more than th ree times larger
than the sriialler, will accelerate electrons
at 2500 miUiop electron volts to produce
x-rays whose beams will be sent to 28
experimental ar;eas.

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

Studies/ SAT data indicate, reponed a
median percentile high school class rank
of 83.2; just over 60 per cent were in the
top 20% of their class. Fifty-seven per

school grade ayerages corresponding to a
GPA of 3.25 or above- a B+ average.

U/ o:s greater selectivity in admissions
reOects a national trend among public
uni.ve r..sities. According to New York
r;rf,.s Education Editor Edward B.
Fiske. most major state universities are
becoming more selective- in response to
budget problems and an increased
demand from students. Writing in the
Times, Feb. 7. Fiske said educators and
public leaders cite a nUmber of reason s
for the trend: reduced State appropriations and the resulting reduced
enrollments; pcipr employment prospects
which keep people in school longer
(U / B"s record current enrollments have
come in the face of reduced freshmen
numbers); political reaction to remed ial
courses at the college level; and cutbacks

University of Texas with 48;000 enrolled
at Austin hopes to cut that total by 1200
next fall. Berkeley 'has ·reduced its

students on a conditional basis. In
Boston, the UMASS-Boston and Boston
S~ College campuses will be, tnerged
and students reduced from 12,500 to
10,000.
How selectil'e is too selective for a public
institution?
A spokesman for SUNY -Albany noted to
the Times that all four SUNY centers are
becoming increasingly selective ... Since
these are already among the most
selective institutions in the country." he
said, .. th!s raises the interesting questi.on
of how selective is too selective for a
publicly-s upponed campus." A Penn
State representative suggested that .. a
public university can be as elitist as it
wants to be intel\ectually, but it has no

Along that line. SAT statistics indicate that 87.9 per cent
"of all U/ Bfreshmen enrolling
in 1981 were white; 4. 9 per
cent were. black; 4.9 per ce'nt
were oriental; 0.6 per cent were Puerto
Rican ; and 0.3 per cent. American
Indian.
Median income for parems of all
freshmen was $22.700 ($10,800 for black
families; $12.500 for Pueno Ricans),
More than a quarter want to be engineers
The SAT data for all enrolling fresHmen
reveal that 27 .I per cen t of those entering
U/ B last fall had engineering as their
intended major. These would-be
engineers presented the highest combined

The n.ext highest group of intended

Reagan loan &amp; aid cutbacks .co~ld devastate students
BJ JO.HN T. THYRSTON

n the wake of an executive
budget proposal which has state
officials pondering where to
apply the fiscal pruning shears,
President Reagan has proposed a federal
package which could have a devastating
effect on students here and around the
country.
According to an American Council on
Education (ACE) report, "massive cuts in
federal student aid and in most
categorical support programs for higher
education, are proposed in the Reagan
Administration's fiscal 1983 budget for
the Education Department. ..
Among the cuts proposed are
reductions in Pell Grants (40 per cent)
and College Work Study (30 per cent),
the elimination . of three major aid
l&gt;rograms- Supplemental Grants, National Direct Student Loans and State
Student Incentive Grants-and restric-. tions on the Guaranteed Student Loan
program which would deny access to the
program for graduate and professional
students.
' "Cumulatively," the ACE rerort says,
"this would represent a loss o over 2.4
million awards. which would force
hundreds of thousands of students to
drop out or change their educational
plans."
At U/ B, where 14,494 students are
receiving more than S43 million in
financial assistance during the current

I

·academic year, the proposed cuts would
affect a similar percentage of students·.
GSL bit heaviest
Heaviest hit would be the Guaranteed
Student Loan (GSL) program from
which more than 11 ,000 students are

borrowing $33.5 million.
The Reagan Administration's pro~
posal to . eliminate graduate and
professional students from eligibility
could affect 3,131 students who this rear
are borrowing $14.7 million to cootmue
their education, according to Dr. William
C. Barba, assistant dean of the Division
of Graduate and Professional Education.
On Friday, Barba and other graduate
and professional education representa·
tives discussed the proposed cuts and
their effect here. Plans are underway by
the division and the Graduate Student
Association to counteract the proposal
with an immediate telephone call/ letter
campaign.
Even for undergraduates, the GSL
program, long considered a very practical
means of financing lib education, will be
less available.
~

The GSL .origination fee would rise
from five to ten per -cent, meaning that
students would actually have to borrow
$2200 in order to obtain a $2000 loan.
Eli&amp;ibllity cap would be replocecj "
The income eligibility cap which

. presently is $30,000 would be replaced by
limiting eligibility to an .. unmet need"
status which would consider cost minus
the family contribution and other aid.
Borrowers of GSL money would be
required to pay market interest rates two
years after beginnin$ repayment.
Currently the rate rcmams at nine per
cent .
Thus, by doublipg the origination fee
and requiring higher interest rates, GSL
bOrrowers would realize an increase in
indebtedness of 19 per cent.
Reduced funding for Pell Grants which
at UI B provide the Basic ·Educational
. Opportunity Grants (BEOG) wollld also
take its toll, asc~rrently 5140 students are
collecting $5:3 million in Pell Grants.
An additional 518 students receiving
almost $288 ,000 in Supplementary
Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
and 1430 others borrowing $1.4 million

in National Defense Siudent Loans
would also be affected by the Reagan
plan to eliminate these two programs.
Work Study cuts would affect over 1,010
Cuts in the College Work Study program
which would remove 250,000 students
frolll.!'ampusjobs nationally would affect
-more than 1000 U/ B students ea,ning
over ,s8n,ooo this year.
Also proposed is the elimination ofthe
State Siucl.ent lnoentive Grant (SSIG)
program which naiiop!Jy provides
3!)0,000 state Pl'ts matChed by federal
funds. At U/ B, approximat~ 12,000
students are receivins·ss million ab
IG
funds .
TRIO programs are slated fo 47 per
cent reduction. At UI B, the
RIO
programs include Upward Bound, Taletit
Search and Special Services programs
involving 1700 students and $350,000.
In addition to the proposed cuts for
fiscal 1983, the President also proposes
cutbacks for f1SC8l I982 which would be
felt during the upcoming academic year.
Through recisions, or cutbacks from
current funding levels, the budget would
cut:
• PeU Grants by $91 million.
• College Work Study by $44 million.
• SSIG by S6 million.
• TRJO programs by $9.9 million.
Among cutbacks proposed in categorical · support for fliCBI 1983 are
discontinued fundina for college
libraries, and library rcaearch.

he word "freedom" echoes
throuah this film in slow,
deliberate cadence.
ActuaJly, this was the intent
of the filmmaker, tbe late James Blue,
said his colleague, Dr. Gerald O'Grady.
Blue, on the U/ B faculty at the time of his
death, had to edit 30 to 40 hours of film
footage to make The March, a
documentary on the August 28, 1963
march on Washington, which drew
200,000 black and white Americans to the
mall to urge passage of the Civil Riahts
Act.
Faced with this tasl&lt;, Blue decided that,
the concept "Let Freedom Ring" should
be central to his documentary. There aie
recurring shouts of f!"edom, from buses
and in churches. And youths, (heir hands
joined, ask simply: " Do. y6u want to be
free?..
• ·'
Following the scteening of The March
last week, O'Grady described the genesis
of the film, ' which Blue made for the
United States Information Agency
(USIA). O'Grady explained that USIA
films can not be shown in the United
States, since Congress doesn't want any
P.resident to use them for internal
propaganda.

T

showing it. Th• March would tell those
overseas that blacks were slaves in the
U.S .. he contended. During the hearings,
Rowan countered that forei~ners already
knew what was happenmg. Rowan
him!elf had seen the Washington march
on TV from his home in Finland. where
he was then stationed as U.S Ambassador. More was to be gained, he
argued, by showing the film.
A compromise disclaimer
A compromise of sorts was reached when
a "d isclaimer" was tacked on to J-bc fihn's
beginning. The .._disclaimer ..- Rowan 's
brief remarks at the openingof the film place the Washington march in the
context of stated American traditi ons of
peace and freedom.
·
Ellender and others feared that King
would become a hero a broad, said
O'Grady. who researched the personal
archives left by Blue. who died in June,
1980, at the age of 9.

He wanted to avoid a whitewash
The original plan had been for Blue to
make three films indicating the country
was making substantial progress in
achieving full civil rights for blacks. Blue,
however. had just returned from France,
and wished to make a fum tha t would tell
the truth. He felt that anything less would
be perceived as a whitewash by foreign
viewers, many of whom were well-versed
in American race relatio ns.
Eartier developments in 1963 seemed
to mandate an honest portrayal of the
American civil rights struggle. NAAC P
leader Medgar Evers had been murdered
in the doorway of his Jackson, M iss.,
home; King, Ral ph Abernathy an.d 53
others had been arrested in Birmingha m
in April; and James Baldwin's writings
were having great impact. Baldwin, a

· the 200,000 marchers heard King make
bis famous "'I have a drecim'"' speech.
Interestingly, said O'Grad y, the prepared
text had nothing about the "dream." In
Blue's documentary, the edited speech
incl udes some of King's famous passages:
..I have a dream that one day on the red
hills of Georgia, the sons of slaves and so ns
of former-slave owners will;be ~ bl e to sit
down together at the table of brotherhood . . . . I have a dream that one day even

King Day Workshops

'

··our experience with the past AA
committees being separa te and disjoin ted
from one another showed us that it's very
hard not to be working a t cross-purposes.
We, t herefore, want to crea te an
atmosphere of unity where peo ple in the ·
University can feel comfortable coming
to us to 'talk about affirmative action."
Hardy-Davis further suggested that ,
the idea of trust will l&gt;e just as important
to the new committee as unity of purpose
is ... Our efforts to improve affirmative
action at U1B will not emphasize sticking
our noses into departmental business. we
alre concentrating on presenting ourselves
as a resource for the University."'
Fischer and Hardy-Davis feelthatthis
new approach to AA at UI B is a positive
and direct attempt at correcting past
~
mistakes.

The workshop, presented as part of the

students usually lhrough a schOol's

questionnaire is sent to adminislrators:
This research is augmented by telephone
calls, visits to campuses. essays by

The best jobs go to the math-oriented
By MICHAEL L. BROWN
ike it or nol. the trend in today's
job market is for more and more
people with .. quantitatively ..
oriented ed ucatio n and training
backgrounds to get more jobs and higher
salaries. A senior research analyst from
Washington. D.C .. offered that assessment here last week as she spoke on the
topic- of "Keeping Options Open With
Mathematics ...
Dr. Lorelei Brush. a psychologist and
researcher for REA? associates. a social
science reseilrch firm based in Washi ngton, D.C.. and owned by women,
emphasi1.ed the imponance of math
traoning beyond the high school years,
espeeially for women. The fourth in a
series of researchers to lecture on the
relationship between math and sex, she
was here as part of the "Forum on Gender
Differences in Mathematical Achievement" sponsored by the Colleges and the
Conferences in the Disciplines.
Designed by Dr. Carole Smith Petro,
associate dean of the Colleges, and Dr.
Peter Gessner. professor of ptiarma- .
colpgy and therapeutics, the forum 's
purpose is to consider the various facro rs
that may affect math performance.
Brush said current research indicates
:hat a qu;~ntitative ly oriented background and training will lead to more and
better-paying career opportunities for
both sexes. Using a 1979-SO survey done
by the College Placement Service that
queried a wide variety of college seniors
about their majors and the jobs and
salaries they received upon graduation,
Brush showed there is a wide disparity
between salaries offered to graduates in
· math oriented fteld s and those in nonmath fields. The average starting salaries
~·ved. by graduates $oing into
engu~eenng and hard saence were
$18,300 and SIS,600 respectively, while
those for the social sc:tences and the
humanities hovered around S II ,700
(Business and Management, SI3,800;and
&amp;:o~mics, $13,400).

Jobs.caB for calcul..
A iecolld ttudy - a University of
Maryland aurveydonealso in 1979-SO i..,..,n moreaugestiveoftheimportaooe

of math in today's employment scene.
Brush reponed tha t in that survey 201
job interviewers visi ting the Maryland
campus as re presenta tives of business
and industry were asked whether the jobs
they were offering required no calculu s.
so me calculus, or a lot of calculus. A
staggering 50 per ce'nt oft he interviewers.
101. revealed they were inte rested only in
studei\ts with an upper-level series of
Calculus courses (an engineering type of
curriculum ). Only 16 per ce nt. o• 33, of
the job offers required no calculus (67 of
the jobs required some calc ulus).
Brush views these sta tisiics as simply a
realistic co mment on the job market

when yo u lo'ok at these statistics? fhc
National Institute of Education (N IE)
wanted to know also so they funded
Brush. along with 10 oth ers. to research
th e relationship between math abi1ity and
sex.
In combining the efforts of all the ' IE
researchers into one comprehensive
repon.. Brush detected three importa nt
general themes. The first is that math is
viewed to be more difficult for girls.
Approximately 1500 students from t hree
New Engla nd school sys tems were asked
(in the spring te rm after classes were ove r)
whether th ey fo und math . d ifficult. In
aJ most every case. Brush reponed , the

businesses and industries that send their
representatives all over the country to
interview college seniors are the
companies that have many openings for
technical graduates," sbe said .
Moving on to the subject.of wbether or
not there are innate differe nces between
men and women in mathematical ability.
Brush pointed to a 197Sstudy by the U.S.
Department of Labor, the most recent of
this type, on tbe earning power of men
and women Ph. D.'s. It revealed a "wide
disparity': between tbe salaries received
by men and women with doctorates, with
min earning cOnsiderably ·more. Brush
feels the key indicator. once again, is the
fields and careers the women went into the majority of women were in nonquantitative career positions. Is there,
Brush queried, an apparent cijlfereotial
~&gt;$tween men and wo~n in math ability

girls said they had more difficulty with.
math than the boys said they did . Taking
this one step further, Brush solicited
responses from pacenfs and teachers of
the students. Results were the same: the
parents thought the girls usually had
more difficulty with math.
Although this-might be interpreted by
some a~ an apparent deficiency in the
mathematical abilit y of girls as compared
' to boys, Brush explained that the grades
actually received by the girls did not
confirm this at all. The girls, in fact, well'
receiving grades comparable to or higher
than the boys. Brush suggested a possible
expla~ion for the paradox: boys might
be hesitant to a!lmit that they find math
difficult in order to protect a male
bravado image. She couldn' explai n
though why parents and teachers think
girls have more trouble with math.

Pe rhaps, she subm itted. the whole questio n shotald be restated to ask not how
difficult math is, but what do yo u do When
it becomes so ... What we need are skills
that will help st ud ents get around th is
wa ll of difficulty when they meet it," said
Brush.
A secoild theme to come out of the NIE
studies. Brush indicated, co ncerned
confidence. Students have to have
confidence in their · own mathematical
a bility. She has found that gir ls are more
suscepti ble to giving up on a math
problem they're having trouble with than
boys are .... Girls have a greater a nxiety
about math than boys do and this is even
true years later. Men are more willing to
give math anothe r try in ·college, •• Brush
noted . In order to bolster more
confidence in girls taking math, she
suggested that teachers look at the NIE
study done by Patricia Casserly.
describing factors relating to young
women's persistence in math achievement. Casserly found that very frequently
when teachers recruited girls from lower~
level math courses and instilled in them
the confidence they needed to c;Io more
math, the girls did quite well in advanced
classes. Brush feels teachers may have to
Cl&gt; take some extra responsibility and
l encourage girls to take more math. She
~ added it should make no difference
~ ' whether the tea cher is male or female.
How 'useful is it?
Although students in grade sc hool
frequently tell researchers they believe
that · math is useful. Brush feels their
reasons reYe31 that this usefulness they
speak of is often too bas ic ...There are
really no answers from these kids that go
beyond the usefulness of si mple additi on
or knowing how to make change. Math is
more than that a nd the questions and
prob1ems thal students look at should
contain a broader context of usefulness,"'
Brush proposed.
This thtrd theme. the usefulness of
math, can be addressed, said Brush. by a
concentrated effort on the part of
tcachen not to be solely concerned with
manipulation of numbers. Making math
more of a ..creaaive process" will give
students a needed perception that math
has a real importance, she feel s.

MFCSA votes to pull out
of Kabosh, supports'·Ketter plan
The Millard Fillmore Colleg~ Student
Association recentl y vo ted to pull.out of
the Kabosh commiuee and to support
President Ketter's recommendations of
September 30 for new space allocations
for siudent groups.
The M FCSA 's executi ve committee
recommended. however, that plans for
adequate centralized student unions on
both campuses be finalized as soon as
possible.
MFCSA President Katharine J .
Stiffler said the group voted to pull out of
Kabosh because ··Kabosh's original
reason for being was no longer in
ex.istence ...
" Although we agree that both
campuses need ce ntralized student
unions," she added , .. it should not be
done at the expense of an academic
depanment. I sincerely think , especially
after hearing the Dental School's
po si tion~ that the best thing to do is to
accept the temporary (reloca tions) and
push for new unions." 'ii
Stiffler commented, "The Kabosh

committee is not really considering how
much money has been spent to merely
plan to change Squire over for the Dental
School. As a taxpayer, I would be very
upset to thin!&gt; that all that money would
go'down the drain if it all had to be begun
again, at the risk of the Dental School's
accred itation."
Though she is "relieved" to be out of
the Kabosh committee:, Stiffler said , " I'm
not against a student center. I just don't
think (Kabosh's) solution is best and I
can' see trying to save Squire ·at the
expense of the Dental School."
. Stiffler could have supponed the Save
Squire movement if, she said,. ...there had
been a more logical, unified, intelligent
effon. Even if it had begun in September.
But the leaders waited too loog and now
the effo't is frenzied ."
•
Stiffi :r said if Kabosh changed course
and began to work forthetwo unions, her
com mittee would ')&gt;robably rejoin.
Trr M FCSA voted at the meeting,
bel&lt;' Wednesday (Feb. 3), to give Kabosh
$50·! as its only allocation.

AI Tinney: a treasure
I Tinney is a real Buffalo
treasure. The celebrated jazz
pianist makes this ci ty his
home, plays in local clubs and
lectures in the U/ 8 Music Depanment.
But Tinney has an additional - and
very important - place in jau an nals,
one that U/ B ja 1.z scholar James S.
Patrick is documenting through a rece nt
grant from the SUNY Research
Foundation .
For one thing. Tinney, 60, grew up in
Harlem during the 1920s and 1930s. As a
child performer. he appea red in several
Broadway musicals; he also appeared in
the original 1935 New York production
of Gershwin's famous folk opera. Porgy

A

and Bess.
Of greater interest to Patrick , though ,
is the fact that from 1939 to 1943, Tinuey
led the house band at Monroe's Uptown
House, a legendary after-hours "venue"
that saw many of the early developments
in modern jazz.
Three-hour oral history upe
So in 1980, Patrick asked Tinney to be
the 5ubject of a three-hour oral history
...exercise," during Patrick 's graduate
seminar on Charlie Parker. ••The
resulting tapes documented a wealth ot
new information concerning the musical
life of Harlem, individual musicians, and
the emergence of new musical seilsibili.:
ties in the early 1940s," sayo Patrick.
The grant will now make · po55ible

thooe . of' additional tnterviews with
Tinney, undenaken ... o establish more

chronology." Also under the -grant; a

the history of ja1.z," until' now only
"haphazardly chronicled." Why the
apparent f!eglect'? Patrick cites several
factors: .. Lack of contemporary interest
and insight; the general deficiencies of the
amateur nature of much jazz history; and
the almost total absence of musical
so urces (sound recording) before 1945."
Patrick, who taught at Cornell and
Princeton before joining the U/ B faculty
in 1978, received impressive kudos in
1980 when the National Academy of
Recording Ans and Sciences awarded
him a coveted Grammy in the category of
Best Album Notes.
Jacket essay
Patrick was cited for his extensive essay
that accompa,nies the five-record album
package, "&lt;::harlie Parker: The COmplete
Savoy Sess1ons." Nat Hentoff, writing in
the Chronicle of Higher Education,
called Patrick's liner notes "extraordinarily lucid and knowledgeable."
AI 37, Patrick has some other
impressive credentials. He·s associate
editor of the Journ~~l of Jazi Srudits, and
was recently named Jazz editor for the
new GroveS Dictionary of Music in tM

Patrick earned a B.A. de1ree from

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

Choices to preserve and strenc'then
The paper notes that over the past six
years. the University has made conscious
choices to preserve the ' number of positions allocated to assistantships in the
face of dwindling numbers of instruc·

The statement •a]so points- out that:
• U I 8 has made strong representations to secure additional funding frot'n

augmenting that fundln~ from internal
sources. resuking in the addition of just

Sbe always wanted to be a doctor
An only child who grew JIP in Lockport,
she always knew she wanted to become a
doctor. Partly because her father died of
bronchial asthfl!ll, she · decided to
spCclalize in aUeriies.
As a senior medical student, she
worked from 5 to II p.m. at the
University Health Service in Michael
Hall, while living, on the building's first
floor. Though MiChael was des1gned as a
don;nitory.and built in 1954, it always has
housed both the outpatient clinic and\he
infirmary.

Dr. Kunz did nof realize that full-time
would mean round-the""(:Jock for two

As an administrator~ Kunz finds
herself too far away from students.
. "A lot of contact 1 ruive now comes
with complaints. } At the end of the
semester, I see a parade of student~
looking for medical excuses, but the
health service only gives verifications of
ill ness."'
" I miss the students ... ." says Dr. Kunz. a woman who follows ' their
personal pursuits tO campus recitals and
plays. One of her patients." she recalls,

Senate.·leaders: debate· how to attack budget pl~n
.

~ politicai" and begin to 'apply pressure on

hat 'to do aboul the budget was
the major question addressed at
last week's Faculty Senate
Exc;cutive Committee. Members discussed the P.ros .and cons of
1romediately trying to develop grass roots
suppon for restoration of SUNY's
budget versus ,taking a more laid-back
stance unul the: whole document ts
digested by legislators and pilsses
1hrough the firs! round of political
debate.
The discussion was sparJced when
Senate Chair · Barbara Howell told
Senators that the Chancellor. at the late
January SUNY Senate meeting. said he
would do all -he could to ensure that
SUNY' received ,adequate f\!llding. ' (A
resolution urging him to take action on
the budget'.was passed at that meeting.)
This assuragce and that"motherhood
~ resoJution." hoWeVe r, was not good
enough ..for Senator lee Dryden. who
~rgued that_ SUNY must be "more

W

legislators. Dryden S1!38osted that the
Senate initiate a &amp;euer·writing campaign~
which would involve SUNY students and
their parents. The "lay down and wait for
something to happen" attitude is
...inadequate." he asscried.
Donl react too early
,
An opposite tack was supported by
Electrical Eng_ineering Professor Denms
Malone. Malone reminded his colleagues
that the budget, after all the political
bargaining is over. will probably not be as
severe as. the present document. He
cautioned Senators that irmay not be Mo
wise to .. react too strOngly too early.... An
.. overkill." he warned. ""could annoy the
state machinery,. to the point tbat it
might be "detrimental." He suggested
that Senators first ..get a reading~• from
the legislators on the budget. then. i~ need
be. "do other things:· .
Before any letter-writing begins.

matter discussed at any length was the ·
brC'uhaha over Squire and the way it is
being handled by the 3.d ministration. In a
nuts hell , some Senators felt the
administration is making too big,a deaf
over student sit-ins .
A number of Senators also voiced
complaints over the · way the campus
press handled ~the cxec:utive c~mmittee's
switched stand on Squ1re. particularly as
evidenced in a Spectrum editorial. which
some-felt was inaccurate and distorted. ~
In other business, Howell reported that
Professor Judy Van Liew, who heads
SUNY's Graduate Academic Programs
,and Research Committee, had forwarded
a resolutiot\ to the SUNY Senate that
· would make ~raduate faxulty eligible for
Excellence i n Teaching awards. The
resolution was rctumea to her committee
for further cOnsideration. Howell said
she believes many SUNY Sen'ators want
to continue to restrict -the award to
undergraduate classroom teachers.
o

English Professo r_Max Wickert reco.mmended that the Senate find out whtch
state legislators normally favor and
which oppose funds fqrbighereducation .
Malone then-offered that so'melegtslators
may be supportive of SUNY but if they
arc not influent ial with their law-maker
colleagues. no tangible impact might be
felt · fr.om their - endo'rsement. He
suggested that when the time ~omes to
woo leBislatorS, this aspect be considered.
Two \\!Ceks ago at a special meeting on
tile budl!,et, Howell reported that U/ B
Council President M. Robert Koren
recommende&lt;hthit area colleges .. band
together to. defend higher education"
instead of each unit trying to protect its
•own piece of the pie." Howell said she
will contact other senates in the SUNY
Centersalong with UUP and SASU to
·see if a concerted effort is possible.

totally igno ring the patients they are dealing with in favor of chatting with fellow
l'fllployees. To help eradicate this impers-onal am b ien~ a nd foster meaningful
dialogue. Lubinski tries to. sensitize the
slaff to their ··valuabl e role as
· communicators."
Staff need to see themselves as
..partners" with patients, she insists.
What the elderly don' need is a reenactment of a pareiil-&lt;:hild relationship,
with them in the su bservient role.

Patie~ts 'don' identifr with one another

Meaningful co mmumcation with staff is
particularly significant because patients
frequently do not perceive themselves as ·
having· much irf common wit h other

residents, and tend not to initiate serious
dialogue with-them. The institutionalized'•
elderly, like other people, gravitate
toward and want to speak with those
whom they feel are like thems&lt;;!ves. It's
diffi cult for some residehts to identify
with the infirmed a nd aged nCar them,
Lubinski explains, tx!cause they do not
perceive themselves in that light. In t his
respect, residents share responsibility for
the lack of comm unication, because
Lubinski reasons, they are searching for
the .. ideal ... or "best partner" rather tha n
accepting the friendship fellow residents
can offer.
· ,
·
•Adding more barriers. Lubinski has
fou nd ,'is the patienfs' fear of gossip and
eavesdro pping. Many residents have· had

to wait considerable lengths of time before
being placed in a nursing facility, and
many vinwilly would have no plaCC'Io go if forced to seek shelter elsewhere.
Because of this insecurity, Lubinski
explains, patients believe that gossi p
could "jeopardize their position at the
home,... as well as be a · ..source of
retri but ion. •• ·Since provocative
statements, like gossi p, could rock the
proverbial boat, patients engage ·in
..ceremonial speech" or talk trivia.
or ·course, the "artificial li(~_tyle"
imposed by an institutipnal setting-the
"forced togetherness" and re~ menta­
tion-can often a~vate the sttuation,
Lubinslci advises. For instance. oafients
must often eat at a'· particular tiiile and
place, whetherthey choose to or not. She
ur:ges that t,hey be given a range of time
during which they could be served, and be
allowed to choose when. And, -rather
th~~ gr~uping cenain patients togeth~
dun ng dmner (all those on salt-free diets,
for example) residents should be free to
pick where ths,y want to dine.
Nursing homes a.re o rganized for
efficient d elivery of service an d
compliance with State codes, · Lubinski
notes, not necessa ril y to foster congenial
living.
Cocktail hour would help

Even a simple activity like a cocktail hour
where wine or juice is served can spur
dialogue and-help reduce the residents'

or Bertha N. Cutcher, Ul ij's
pioneer in "mainstrea ming ..
handicapped students, retirement
means doing what shC's aone
throuahout her career - helping others.
Cutcher, who retired December 31 as
coordinator of the Office of Services for
the Handicapped, said in an interview
that her retirement p@ns include serving
~ a volunteer to aid the b~ndicapped
througt.tbe ma ny organizations to which
she belon_gs. She resides in Williamsville.
• While her presence oit camp_us may be
missed, as evidenced _by1he multitude of
"thank you" notes she has received from
handicapped students, Cutcher expresses
fai th in the UI B, commitment to assist
studentS who are blind, deaf; lame or
otherwise infirm. · ....
·
The Office of Services for the Hand icapped (OSH) was established by Mrs.
Cutcher in December: 1976. as a -pilot
project" under teTtDS of a $500,000 federal grant. which she was in$trumt.nial in
obtaining. When the four-year grint
ex pired in December, 1980, the State
assumed re~ponsibility for fi!'ancine;. and
he office ttself expanded tts duues to
i lude aid .for the h'!ndicapped among
U1 's 8,01111 employees. .
•
Cit g UI B's three campuses as "among
the. most accessib le in the United States"
for the hand icapped , C'titcher la uded the
University itself, its various schools 3 nd
departments and individual faculty for
the "tremendous adjustments'" made on
behalf of the handicapped.

F

' You see they cetthrouch'
:
"You not only open the door for students
who are handicapped," Cutcher orioe'
remarked, ...you see that they' get--., th rough."
·
During her five-year tenuce as coordinator of the-OSH , Cutcher estimated,
more thiln 350 handicapped students •
received individual assistance through
her office. Others wi!]l disabil~ies, she ·
funher observed, may W&lt;:ll have benefitted from the program while choosing i o
rega rd ~heir disahititie11- as nonhand icapping. ~
"Without the h~ lp ofOSH, l.coufd not
have made it," one student commented in
a report to Cutcher. Crippled by multiple
sclerosis and confined to a wheelchair.
this female student managed to obtain a
bachelor's and-currently is enrolled on a
part-time basis as a graduate stu$1ent in
quest of a master•s in chemistry. Paralyzed .e xcept for limited 11se of her a rms
and unable to speak, this stude~t receives

A hearing-impaired female who spent·
a summer at UI B before underta king
post-graduate work in Washi ngton,
D.C., wrote: "I j ust walked in· and
explained my need and got quick, willing
assistance· without having to fight and

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

Buffalo's cloud, his proposal for capital constru~tion here is the
silver lining.
The proposal, which directs here over S65 million of the total
S85.5 million proposed for capital construction on State-operated campuses will, if passed, provide funds for six new construction projects on
the Amherst and Main Street campuses.
Included are appropriations for Phase II of the Health, Physical
Eduution and Recreation complex, a new st udent activities building
and a School of Management facility at Amher!it.
On Main Street, the executive budget proposes funds for the Biomedical lnformatio·n ·center (Abbott Hall), the School of Dentistry Clinic

GSEU
GSA leaders feel
time is right
for union revival

A

Times have changed
Both Murphy and Ciurczak are aware of _
unsuccessful earlie r efforts to form a
Graduate Employees Union here in the
mid-1970s; Although they ack nowledge
it will be a long fight. they thi nk times
have changed. The financial situa t ion of
graduate students has certai nly deterior·
ated since those earlie r effo rt s. the two
contend . They\detect a st rong inte rest in a
union these days in those departments
where the GA IT A teaching load is heavi est. Many G,.,s and TAs, Murphy
charged. are being fo rced to teach more
classes than the Grad uate School's own
gu idelines permit - simply because of
"su ppl y and demand ."
The Friday meeting in Squire heard
many TA GAs attest ing to j ust such a
si tuation at U1 B. Close to ten TAs from
the English and Art de partments voiced ·
stro ng opposition to the Rossbe rg plan
whi le decrying the "widespread exploitation" of g(ad students. some of whom
have to teach two or three and some times
four courses a semester. Cathy Cas tellano. a TA from the Sociology Departmen!. was \'C ry upse t wi tflTJiC Ross berg
pla n also and sees "a great need for an
employees union ;.~mong the gr&lt;.~duate
.)tudcnts here ... A TA from the Math
Department felt confident he could speak
for many of the grad students there as
being .. ,cry. very overworked . ~'

n attempt to revive-a Graduate
Student E mpl oyees Un ion

(GSEU) movement on this
campus and statewide is

underway.
At an organizational meeting held in

Squi re Hall last Friday, Graduate Stuc
dent Assoc ia tion Presid ent Peter
Murph y met wi th a gro up of inte rested
GAs a nd TAs to discuss wha t would be,
involved in forming such a un ion . Allud-

ing to th e fac t 1hat the effort will take a
.. tremendous amount of work" on the
part of pro-union graduate students here.
Murphy suggested the formation of three

info rmatio nal committees as a step in the
right direction: an ''in-reac h"' commi ttee
to d isc uss a ll the issues with the GA / TAs
here: a n •·out-reac h.. co mmittee to speak
with o ther unions o n campus and off: a nd
a research committee to gather informatio n needed by th e group's a tt orney.
According to Murphy. "th e main thi ng is
to get started on this as soon as possible.··
Interest in a new GSEU here (it was
atte mpt ed twice befo re in the mid-70s)
emerged from a "founding meeting" held

by Murphy and Gary Ciurc7.ak. GSA·.._
vice president for admin istra tive affairs.
on January 19. About 20 GAs and TAs
were in attendance.
Underpaid and exploited
Briefly stated , th e position of pro-union
gra d stud ents is that GAs and TAs here
a re underpaid. often ex ploi ted, and governed by rul es and regulations which they
themselves ha ve no voice in formulating.
At particular iss ue is a rece nt plan by
th e Vice President for Academic Affairs
to distribute a $200.000 allocat ion for
ra isi ng TA / GA stipe nd s onl y to stude nts
a t the top end of the current salary range.
The idea is to raise th ose top-enders to
$6293 so, in th e view of the VPAA. UI B
can attract t he best students. Litcle or no
i·ncrease will be forthcoming for the vast
majo rity of TAs and GAs who earn
so mewhe re around $3500, the GSA leaders noted.
The VPAA's pro posal. however. is not
th e basic rea son for a uni on, the two grad
st ud ent office rs pointed out. Sa laries are
ce rtainly important, they acknow led ged.

Army

especiall y ~hen one considers th at TAs
and GAs have expe rienced a buyingpower cut of over 56 per cent since 196 7.
But th ere is more. Murphy noted that the
entire administrative system need s to be
changed to provide for more stud ent
in pUt at all levels ... It 's time." he says. "fo r
the administration to cast off its pate rnalistic attit ud e towa rd s students and to
realize the invaluable co nt ri butions students can make." Murphy says that if
administra tors co ntinue to ignore stude nt wishes here, th ey will simply " be
cutting their own throats.··
The Sq uire Hall issue is a sig nifi cant
case in point in his mind . Murphy co ntends students have much to offer o n that
iss ue, but have been ignored in planning ·
deliberations and decisio ns. Ciurczak. is

nurs~s

ceftai n the administratio n will regret thi s.
once stude nt s stan leaving here " because
the loss of a union makes campus life
unb~arable."

The GSA leaders suggest it is too early
to specu late on what style of leadership
President-designate Steven Sample will
bring with him. bu t. pointed ou t Murphy.
there have been perso nnel changes in the
adminis tra ti on before. with no notable
change in the •· nea r-sig ht edness and tu nne l visio n" of the ad ministration itself.
Murphy said he has bee n putting Sample on notice si nce last June (whe n he met
him as a member of the President ia l
Search Committee) that stude nt pa rtici pation a t every level of Uni versity
decisio n-making is a major issue Sa mple
should be prepared to deal with .

Chemist ry group dissents
While mos t of the grad student s a t the
me\.'ting \\ere from Arts and Socia l
Sci\.'ncc~ departmen ts and were prounion. a group of Che mi stry TAs showed
up a~ well. gi' ing a different view on th e
formation of a GSEU . The Chern TAs
gave the impre~~ion that their department has t reated them well and that most
of their fellow TAs don't want a union.
O ne· of the C hern TAs prese nt felt that
eve n if a union were crea ted . he would
~ti ll be agai nst it beca use .. it would probab ly be a closed shop union whereby you
wou ld have to pa y dues whethe r yO u
belonged or not. ..
In a ny eve nt. Murphy sees the a tt itud e
of many ·of the TAs in the " hard sciences" - o ne of being treated well e nough
to not make any waves - as one of the
majo r roadblocks.

Old. world' veterinarian
:made new life in Buffalo
.
.
By WENDY A.RNDT HUNT
wenty~ight years ago, an Old
World veterinarian emigrated
from Germany wifh his young
.
son tO his brother's home in
Cheektowaga{ abandoning his former
wife and pcofCssion forever.
R~laxing in a local pub. nea~ his West
Falls home, Dr. Hans J. Wilkens, who
retired last semester as an associate
professor' from the Department of
Biochemical Pharmacology. speaks of
the way hU. life evolved during his 65
years. English words do not. erase his
heavy German accent. .
..Or. Wilkens was born in .Eschershausen, Germany, in 1915, the youngest
of nine children fathered by a Lutheran
minister. Upon his high ,school
graduation, he servad his two years of
mandatory military duty, during which
time he .decided to study veterinary
science. He initiated his practice as a

T

:~~r:ri:~ ~~~~~~ ~a:~~Y h~r~~~~
himself treating the cavalry horses oo the
Russian front from 1941 to 1945.
In the immediate years following the
war; Dr. Wilkeos established a private
practice, married, and fathered a son.
Thi ·overwnelmlng' influx · of East
Gt.nnan refugees crowding into his
community pushed Dr. Wilkens to follow
the steps of his oldest brother, who had
immigrated to America in 1921. Dr.
Wilkens and bU. oil-S-year-old son, Klaus.
saileil the Atlantic onboard the U.S.S.
United Slates to IJIOve into his brother
and sister-in-law's rented house in
Cheektowaga. The foursome remained a
family, buying a house together in the.
rural town of West Falls. _ · .
Meanwhile, tlie"ofder Wilkens brotJ&gt;et
:was puslting the younger to pursue hiil '
in veterinary medicine. But Hans

r.:::.

Company in Cheektowaga. For a year,
until he was laia off, the man schooled at
the Veterinarian College 1p Hanover
worked as a shipping clerk, then as a lathe
departmen! production poy.
Dr. Wilkens whispers in an aside that
laboring in a manufacturing plant a.ltered
his philosophy of life. It was the first time
he had ever worked with his hands. It was
the first time he had mingled with the
common man.
~
" It gave me the sense of the worth of
manual labor,· he says, puffing on his
pipe· and smiling as though he had
discovered some precious secret.
For the thiee years prior to 1957, Dr
Wilkens worked in a'Trico plantas a wire
strander,and a lead man in charge of the
night sh1ft.
An
who learned of Dr.

Wilke ns· background urged him to
contact Roswell Park Memorial
Institute, where there was an opening for
a l4!boratory technician. ,

~

·He Joined U/B in 1965 •
Wh1le at RoswcU Park. Dr. Wilkens took
a professional career test that promoted
him to the rank ofjunio.rscientist. "'At my
agel" he laughs. He took another test that
ranked him as" cancer resear~h scientist.
One Of Dr. Regel son's associates was
Dr. Nathan M. Back, a professor in the 1
Biochemical Pharmacology Department
at UI B, who, in 1965, helped Dr. Wilkens
obtain a position as a research assistant
professor with the UI B Foundation.
A year later, Dr. Wilkens was hired by
the State as an assistant profeslor. In
1974, he was promoted to associate

professor.
During his · t6-year alliance with the
University. Dr. Wilkens discovered.
contrary to popular thought, that kinins,
which are active polype ptides. can raise
blood pressure under cenain conditions •
Pride sparkles within his blue eyes as
he says that few people have found a new
receptor. as he -did. "And receptor
·research is at the heart of pharmacology,..
he adds.
•
Concentrating- on tumor gr.owt~ and'
shock and cardiovascular researctf, Dr.
Wilkens involved himself with · the
fibrinolysin system: which dissolves
bi&lt;&gt;Qd clots and plays a role in a number
of physiologio and pathologic procesSes,
including cancer, atherosclerosis and
shock.
For his experiments, he invented an
autornatic.instrument that recoids blood
clot lysU. times.
Recent work by Dr. Wilkens•with the
U1B research team has focu~ on other
proteolytic enzyme systems, which
cOntribute to the formation of potent
vasopeptides, which affect blood vessels
and other sm'oOth vessels and may be
involved in regulating cell control
mechanisms.
· He's 1110 teacblnc

· Though fo!l1)8lly relired, Dr. Wilkeosjs
teaohing biochemical pharmacology this
fall. He does have more time, now,
however, to enjoy his son, an electronics
tecbnician . at Sierra R~; his
daughter-in-law, the former Penny

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

From Pagr I, col .·'

Close Squire, but find
alternative space for
activities, Council urge~
Dental student s are "in a pred•cament .''
concerning threatened loss of accreditation. Hirs hman added that all st ud ents
will be in a "predicam e nt " if Squire is
closed . Many stude nt s will leave here if
there is no Ce ntral Unio n, he predicted .

Squire has to be the union
Kabosh representatives emphasized they
arc not in favor o f the Dental S c hoo l
losing acc re~itation~ They sim pl y want a
centralized stud en t union at Main Street
and another at Amherst. Scattered
facilities at Harrima n and Parker will not
do. both .Hirshman and H'iyden
con tended . The union at Main Street has
to be Squire , in their view.
Dental Sch ool Dean William Feagans
reviewed the •deca de-long history of his
school's ;;accreditation problems. noting

S

quire is the

Street,_M!Jl_s K abosh;
it certainly was

through there.
that increased space is essential to
continued accreditation. Squire had been
selected severaJ years ago as a means for
providing that space, he said. To change
that plan at the "24th hour." he said,
would be disastrous (see accompanying
box).
'
Bob Cronyn, president of the Dental
Student Association, agreed that a union
is needed at Main Street, but added that
excellence in dental education is also
imperative. Labs in the D;ntal School, he
noted, are crowded arid much too warm

::'~J:k ~~Tr'o:'~~~t:~~h~~~j~:l

Students working in the labs often
become sweatr and appear disheveled a situation which ~ both disconoerting to
them and something of a public relations
problem, conSidering that these same
sweaiX._studenu have to deal with patients
iq the scbool.'s clinics. Locker r®ms are
so crowded. Cronyn added, that dental
lciu !'OSting .$2,000 ba~e to be left
unsecured because there are not enough
lockers .. Clinics are so crowded and
· dental stations so squeezed together that
students have to ~ork extremely
carefully in order not to bump the bands
or arms of someone worldna on a patient
at an adjoinin&amp; station. Ot!e"wrona move,

Cron yn suggested. could result in
to a patient.

i~u ry

DenUstry important, too' •
Cronyn took exception to Kabosh 's
argument that Squire as a union serves
thousands of people from the communit y
whereas if it becomes a dental facilit y
only a few hundred studen ts will benefit.
To the con trary, Cronyn responded . tOe
dental clinics offer care for a large
number of individuals from Buffalo (over
40 ,000 patil!nt vis its in one recent year}. "I
am a student, too. " said Cronyn, .. and I
see no comparison between what the
Dental Sthool brings to this commu ni t ~
a n~ what Squire Union brings ...
F. Carter Pannill, vice prt:sident for
health sciences, Pointed out that neith er
his office nor the Dental School had ever
requested that Squire Hall be convened
to a dental facility. That decision, he said.
was made by the State Universit y
Construction Fund in its J975-76master
plan. SUCF decided at "thai point, he
said, that it wouJd be more feas1ble to
rehabilitate and add to existing structures
on Main Street than to build the entirely
new facility which the Health Sciences
had requested for Dentistry. Pannill
added that he had always insisted thai
proviSion be made in the Health Sciences'
master plan for a student union for tbe
3,000 students for · which he is
responsible. ·Harriman Hall w1ll eventually be .that union , he noted. To stop the
Squire Hall proJect at thiS pomt. Panmll
argued, would put in jeopardy plans for
other Health Scien~construction slated
to begiJl at Main Street later this- year.
Part of that construction, he pointed out,
includes a Health Sciences Library. The
present library, he noted, has been
criticized in accreditati6n reports
concerning various Health Sciences
schools. Also likely to be jeopardiz.ed, he
went on, is the first of- a four-phase
addition a()d rehab. project for CaryFarber-Sherman. That project, said
Pannill, is vitally n~ed to keep the
medicar school's accreditation probJems
from getting as acute as 41 those facing
De"!.istry.

Disarray would follow
If any one of these projects is terptinated ,
Pannill said, ~we wilrbe in such disarra y
that we will have to begin back again
where we were in 1975. This is no idle
threat, it's true.,. he emphasized.
Faculty Senate Chairperson Barbara
Howell surpriSed the packed Council
roonrby rising to clarify a resolubon that
the "Executive Committee had passed 10
mid-Deoember. That resolution bad been
.K'ken by the media and many on cam~us
to mean that the Senate prefernd savmg
Squire as a student union to solving the
accn:ditatioo problems of the Den~al
School. That was not the Faculty's mtent,
Howell told the Council. When the
Executive Committee passed its resolu_tion in Deoember, she said, it had no 1dea

it was making a choice between the two.
That wasn' on the table, Howell said .
Senators are sym pathetic to the need for
a union, she explained , but "in no way
should the Faculty Senate vote be
construed ~ a vote to halt any
constructi on on this camp us ...
Facilities Planning VP John Neal
traced for Council members the history
of negotiations between the Administra tio n and student leaders to provide
alternative union space once Squire is
closed. (See separate story.) Neal noted
Harriman would have been the logical
choice for centralization of student
facilities at Main Street , but that this is
not possible now because Theatre would
have had to be moved. Construction will
start at Amherst in June to replace the
food and recreational functions now
contained in the basement and first floor
of Squire. Both Neal and President
Robert L. Ketter recalled that the
decision had been made years ago - with
st udent agreement - to proceed with
decentralized student space at Amherst.
Yes, acknowledged Kabosh , but that
had been in the context of a much larger
Amherst plan.
Ketter noted that additional student
facilities at Amherst should have been
built in time to allow for them to be
occupied before reconstruction w8s
started at Main Street. However, he
noted, "008 calls the shots. They say
what we11 build and when." Now, he
noted, DOB says it's time to proceed on
Squire Hall rehabilitation. U I B had
requested that nothing be done until after
the second semes1er, but OOB said do it
now, Ketter noted.
Coundl bu to take a stand
Inviting each Council member to air his
or ·her opinion, Chairman M. Roben
--1&lt;.oren insisted the Council must take a
stand one way or the other . .. We cannot
·sidestep it," Koren advised.
Council members expressed sympat hy
for tbe Kabosh position but most felt the
accreditation needs of the Dental School
should take precedence. Dr James
_ Philllps called it a "choice ol rotten
apples. If' we close Squire," he said, "it
will be a horrible experience for many
students. If we don'· it will be
catastrophic for the Dental School. 111
choose horror rather than cataJtrophe,"
he deci~. Phillips added that academics
ore the primary . purpose of the
University, not the provision of "ex.tra
curricular luxuries." He was not saymg
students should be without centralized
union facilities forever, he noted - only
aslr.ing them to accept a delay to avoid
bad trouble for the Dental School-.

.

-

Student member Travis
insisted it was not fair to sever one
population's life: line in order to support
another.
Council member John Walsh Ill
agreed with Phillips that academic
cons iderations must come first. but
added that a university .. that tS loved"
must do more than educate its students.
Walsh commended Kabosh Q.11 its re po rt.
noting that both the local administration
and the Council are in a no-win situation.
Student activit y space is critically needed
at U1B. Walsh acknowledged but. he sa id.
that space is not necessarily defined by
Squire Hall. In his view. he went on. the
Amherst Campus in particular is too
antiseptic, there is urgent need for a
bookstore, for coffee shops and for other
places for students to congregate.
Amherst, he argued, needs a large student
union. Today's students are being asked
to sacrifice for future students, he said.
but in order for the University to ask
them to do so, specific guidelines and
timetables for provision · of a student
Union at Amherst are needed. The
Co uncil, he suggested, should see that
plans for student facilities at Amherst are
redesigned and should then "go to the
jugular in Albany" for money to build
them.
Whot's best for U/B
¥Nobody today has mentioned what is
best for the University," Council
Chairman · Koren said at the end of the

here today will suffer if the union is
closed. But, he added, "students three
years from now won'- know the
difference about Squire. We have to

Undaunted by the Council's position,
K.abosh leaders have pledged to continue
to do all they can to save Squire as a
union. The matter was tQ be taken before
the SUNY Trustees this week. Kabosh

Faculty 'clarifies' its position on closing down
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
he Faculty Senate didn't mean
it!
At a spec ial meeting of the

T

Senate

Executive

Committee

January 20. members voted 7-4-2 to rescind an amended student -generated
resolution on the Squire Hall situation
that they had overwhelmingly endorsed
at a mid-December meeting. Tftit resolution called for Squire to remain ope n
until adequate centralized student facilities are approved on both the Main Street
and Amherst campuses.

The special January meeting was called
to clear up confusion over the intention
of that resolution. Apparently. concern
had beeli expressed by a number of peo-

ple [reponedl y some based in Albany)
that the resolulion was being construed
to mean the FSEC supponed a halt to
construction· on the Main Street Campus
- a stand which many insist would cause
the Dental School nightmarish accreditation problems and eveojeopardite future
construction monies.
After the Executive Commit;;e he~ I'd
last week from VPHS F. Caner Pta11t11U:
John Neal. Vice president for facihue~
planning: Ron Stein. assistant to the pres·
ident. and Student Affairs Vice Presiden1
RichaJ:d Siggelkow. a new resolution was
passed by a 12-1 vote. This one recognized the need for a cen tralized student
facility (as opposed to two ). but noted
that if keeping Squire as is ··wo uld indeed
halt construction &lt;:&gt;41' the Main Street
• Campus and thereby endanger accredita·
tion of the Healt h Science programs:·
then the FSE€ "regretfully accepts the
dosing of Squire Hall as planned ... The

resolution allio ,urged students, faculty
and adflTi.ru.st.nrtion to ''begi n to work
together to plan for a st udent union ...
' Reporter' WRJD'l notified
Though thert was an unusually large
number of guests invited to the special
meet ing. inclUding-the Executive Committee of the Professional Staff Senate
which later deliberated" separately and
passed a resolution s.imilar in ·thrust. the
Rtportn received no word about the
hastily-scheduled session. A represe ntative of the Reporter was in attendance. however. at the mid-December meeting
where student representatives and
Kabosh Committee spokespersons Peter
Hirshman and R obert Hayden first
approached the FSEC;.o su ppon their
effo rt s to kee'p Squire 6pen.
After that mid-December meeting.
Senate Chair Barbara Howell received
correspondence from Jack Klingman.
chair of the Health Sciences Faculty
Council. who termed the first resolution
an "unfriendly and obstructive instrument to the development of academic
programs in the Schools of Health Sciences ... Klingman also emphasized. that as a
un•t. the "Health SciCnce faculty strong!~
support the need for student acti vit y centers on both campuses. "
Howell responded to Klingman what
she repeated to the U / 8 Council - on
JanU'ar) 15 - that it was her understandIng the FSEC "in no way wanted to do .
anything that would interfere with the
constru ctioQ on either campus and especially did not want to do anything which
would jeopardize the accreditation of our
top-rated Dental Sch~ol."

It wasn't unanimous

Howell called the special January meeting to make sure this interpretation was
correct. Though the Reporter was absent
from that critical meeting. the 7-4 vote
(with two abstentions) would seem to
•ndicate. that at the vcr) least. Howell's
'1cw was not unanim o uslv shared .
Since the first ExecutCve Committee
resolution was passed December 16, a
number of notewonhy related events
have occurred . That eve ning. Sociology
Professor Elwin Powell was arrested by

,

Buffalo Police for refusing to leave the
Rathskeller in Squire aftec its 10 p .m.
closing. Btfore being led away by Police.
Powell read a prepared statement 10
which he explained that he purposel y
decided to perform the act of civil disobedience to spur an investigation on the
,conversion of Squire to a Denta l facility .
Powell predicted that its closing would
"irrevocably damage the Unive rsity."
On December 18. the U/ B Council
decided to write Governor Carey. asking
him not to take any actio n on constr ~ c-

.

There already is· a plan for alternative locations
veriooked in the current
debate over closing Squire
Hall and corollary calls for a
plan to provide alternative
student activity space is the fact that just
such a plan was announCed on September
30. 1981.
.
After seve ral meetings between
administrators and the Kabosh CQmmittee. PTesident Ketter outliried a series of
moveS to accommodate functions to be
displaced both from Squire and fr!&gt;m
other Main Street locations. Several
Main Street buildings will .. go off-line .. to
accommodate other Health Sciences
construction projects slated to begin in
the first half of 1982.
As part of the same ·announcement,
Ketter ran down current plans for student
activity space construction at Amherst.
Two additional student facilities are
projected under the cost cap which has
been imposed on the: new campus project
by the SUNY Trustees. [The entire
document was printed in -The Spectrum.]

Studen.t bulldinJ in the works
Now under dC$Jgn for Amherst, Ketter
said, is a student recreational building
"that will include bowling alleys,
poo!_rooms, p1ng-pong rooms, and other
game rooms, as we.ll as lounge space and
limited eating facilities ... Construction is
slated to beunderway.byJune,(9g2, with

approximately two years needed. for
completion. The program for this
building. Keller said. "requires that [it)
easily accommodate the addition. at
so me future date, of more student
act ivity-type sp3ce ." Under the building
cost cap. however. Ketter went on , "such
additional construction should not be
anticipated within the next five or so
years."
·
Ketter noted that the second bloc of
studen t activity space planned for
Amherst under the cap will bt in
connection with a classroom building to
be built west of and connected to Talbert
Hall, TalbCn already houses student
offices and meeting space:
Some Ambust moves complete .
.
The moves · Ketter outhned m h1s
September · meino (which in some
instances have been altered slightly
during the last several months) are:
• Undergraduate Advise"ment anp the
office of EOP and its counselors were to
be moved to the firstllbor of Norton Hall
in space fo~merly beld by Student Affairs
(along with space directly above in 220
Nonon). DUE Advisement has moved ;
the EOP shift will be made shonly.
• Student Affairs functions formerl y
on the first floor of Norton were to be
shifted to space. on the ground level of
Capen (the Nonon difector's olhce ana

Life Workshops). They have moved into
Caree r Planning's former space and th at
office has moved to Capen-2.
• The number of "off-line" reservations rooms in Nonon-Capen-Talbert
were to be reduced from 7 to 4 ~one on
the second floor of Talbert, two on the
second floor of Capen, and Room 10
Capen. To supply additional needed
reservation space. Ketter said, a more
detailed and accurate listing of classroom
utili1.ation will be kept and such rooms
made available in off-hours.
• More classes were to be scheduled
for under-utilized classroom space in
Ellicott to make continuous space
available along the spine for student
union functions. This has been done.
Since student offices and the Student
Senate chambers are already located on
the first Ooor of Talben Hall , the entire
second noorofTalben is being converted
to stud ent activity space. Talbert Dining
Room. moreover_ can be used for special
evening functions such as Jectures and
small musical events. And when the new
classroom-activities space is built to the
west, contigut&gt;us space in both buildings
will be available for stude nt activities.
Plans for Main Street
The remainder of Ketter's plan-dealt with
Main Street:
• Major food service facilities were to
be relocated in the Faculty Club wing of
Harriman on the first and second floors,
as well as in the basement. The basement
of Harriman, further, Ketter pointed out,
contains a number of small rooms which
can replace small rooms being given up in
Squire; the first floor entry portion of

• To provide space suitable for
Fillmore Room-type activities, Ketter
announced that the study space currently
located in the north end of Diefendorf
Annex would be developed into· a large
multipurpose room . This location.
working with Harriman, Ketter said.
"could well pro vide the desired 'central
union identity.· " This development' is
now underway.
• WBFO
to be relocated to "old"
Baird Hall, along with Social Work .
• The Emeritus Center. a part of the
Mathematics Department, the University
Bookstore, the study area to be displaced
in Diefendorf Annex , Continuing
Education, Admissions and Record s.
Financial Aid and Student Accounts
were ultimately all to be relocated to
Parker. (Some have already moved - sec
separate story for rundown of what's
been moved to date.)
These moves will not solve all spaceproblems, Ketter said, but .. a number of
objectives can be realized ... First and
foremost from the student perspective, he
said, .. is the· fact that there will be an
identifiable student union facility on the
Main Street Campus and another one...,
equaOy obvious on the AmHerst
Campus ... Several academic and service
units will be centralized; classrooms will
be utilized more evenly, and "finally .
and not least, there will have been
established a pattern for this transition
period ."

Super saver-!:

By MICHAEL· L. BROWN
henever Students return to
UI B to stan-off a new
se mester, there are things to
look forward to, like seeing
yo ur friends again, going to an those
we lcome-back .parties. and just plain
being on your own. Unfortunately,
though, wl1en these things bring a smile
to a student's face~ a grimace is nOt far
behind - caused by long lines, registration hassles, aiid buying books.
ESpecially buying books! Anyone who
has ever taken oollegecourses knows how
expensix.e that can be. In many instances,
the boo,ks you have to buy for a certain
course are ones you won't use in the ·
future,-eit·b er- lt seems a waste of hard·
earned bucks.
'(he Student. Association has a way to
stop Jhat waste.

. the exchange in the number and variety
of books brought in for sale. "Just last
semester we had over 600 students selling •
abou t 5.000 books that we catalogued in 24 different sections (listed by Depanments). ··they explained. Because of this
vast numbef. the women recommCnd that
freshmen and so phomores taKe a look at
what the Book Exchange has to offer. • A

do well by using the excha nge, especially
since they are spending the nioSt money 1
on introductory texts. \Ve have a -goed
number of these books." said Becker.

and sell their used ones for extra cash at

In operation for the last three years. the
Book Exchange gives students an ppportunity to cut down on initial costs that
come with the start of each .semester.
Accor&lt;ling to - co-managers, Michelle
Culver and Maria Beckey, both juniors in
the School of Management, the exchange
gives students a "bettef..deal'' because it is
non-profit. "Student~ bring in used

Budget propoSal for the fiScal

all of Sl!NY. It also raises maey stillunanswered questions.
UI B vice presidents heard that
sobering overview of ·what the Carey
spending plan entails at . a- briefing
provided by Assistant. to _the P"resident
Hany Vl. Poppel:. last week. .

G

Pop~ey notel that U1B has been hit
harder t'lian otlil:r SUNY units, and must
absorb all outright cut of 95 FTE
positions. On top ·of that, the persQnal
services- btfdget in'!St be reduced by
another $4.8 million . Technically
speaking; jQbs are no.t being eliminated:
by this reduction. The-FTEs will remain,
,but tbe 'salary pool i$' to be ·r\:duced by
S3.5 million on the core campus and by ,
Sl.3 million' in the ·Health ScienceS.. This
effectively mo;,ans that 'enougli vacan&lt;ies
have to be' achieved to generate the
necessary dollar amount. They could be
SIO,OOO lines or $50,000 lines. Official
pOlicy is that it is premature to speculate
on the exact number of position~ to be
affecled. Poppey indicated, however,
that the~otal red~on.required exceeds
the number of vacancies which currently
~
exist.

Becker set anOther distinct advantage of

funding.,..some " $80.4 million short of
. what SUNY requested . The total
shonfall, though," is actually S84. 7
million because Carey included in his
tota~$4.3 million in items SUNY did not
ask for.
Perhaps the worst news for students is
that the Carey plan ups State University
dorm rates by $150 a year (and hikes
CU~:Y tuition by a similar amounS~.

Governor, creation of these posts (one
each for 13 campuses) is intended to
encourage the University ... to generate
significant non-tax levy support to
augment state funding fa( desirable
programs." He also put campuses on
notice that .. the rate of return. as
measured by increasc;d contributions, is
expected to be high and will be monitored
closely by the Chahcelloc's staff and the
Divisi~ of the "lludgel."
•
Increase is a decrease
The budget request for Ul B renects an
increase of $6,382,800 for ·the ~re
campus and aitill,c: o~S 101.800 for l;lealth
Sciences. That increase, although
appCaring sizea ble, is actu~lly a cut.
Fixed cost hikes will command more
than the overall incr~ase, .meaning that
major decreases ~ave to be absorbed in
other Junctions.
'

On the core. campi... salary increases
and annualization of positions new~o ihe
budget last fiscal year Will take up slishtly
more than $4.1 million. Utility pri~
increases will take $5.47 million.

Ul B's Poppey notes that a personal
· 'ervice adjustment of $1.2 million has
'been assessed to Buffalo State, which
undoubtedly will work a major hardship

' 1r U1B looks good compared to Stony

Ketter on Dec. 9.'
"The Affirmative Action Office is now
working on the principle of targeted
recruitment," Agostini said. "As the decision is 'made to fill" new positions from
outside the universit y community; the
AAO' will tar.get some positions for
affirrilative action recruiting. This will be
done in cooperation with the hirin_g manager within the depa·nment. ln this way
we hopet\iat we will bC\3ble to attract and
appoint more qualifi'cd minorities as
positions beCome available."
Agostini emphasized that "targeted
recruitment does not mea n that jobs are
. set aside for minorities. It means .that
there will be positions for which the AAO
determines th at it is highly probable that
the University can fi_nd a qualified ethnic
miriorit y and wiJI take steps to attract
those persons to apply a na hopefully· be
employed . Targeted recruitment is not
targeted hiring."
The new appli ~ation forms for classifiecf service hirin~ will improve the
AAb's collection of data on sex and eth·
nic groupin)!s. Agostini said . "They will
give us early information on who is seeking jol:is w~re . and give us a chance to
improve ou r_ referrals."
.
The forms· will be placed in the offices
of various community agencies, Agostini ·
added, and· noted •that his office- is
atte.mpting to establish a central j&gt;oint on
!he Main Street campus where the appli·
Cation forms can be optained bY persons

T\&gt;e affirmative action plllll that Agpstini
submitted to the President set hiring
goals an!l-timetables for 1984 for facult.y,
proTessigoal and classified staffs, but
Agostini expects the budget situation to
affect its implementatiOn.
.
"From a. first reading of the governor's
budget, it•appears that the University will
not ha-le many new lines, if any. so that
hiring in the foreseeable future will primarily be hifingto replace people," he said.
..Our affirmative action· plan assumed

"I hope that we will be able to kesp the

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

Quoting from economic historian
Jon t ilan Hughes. Schmitt declared that

are the creators and innovators.

by a vital few."' he sa'id . ..Our job is to

"New York has lost some of, its

mentioning handicaps like tbe high eost
or energy, high wages and personal
income tax rates. "But I doubt tho! the
vital few spend much time worrying
about climate and local schools. They're
too busy doing things. taking cha_rge or

As if this were not enough of an ideological · underpinning, Mussolini had still
another raison d'etrt for his swash
~hrougb the city. Buildings were not m\ly
to be preserved in this desired "s'!litude,"
they were also to serve as valorizzazione
of the fascist cause - a sort of ideological
nod to the policies and philo~ophies of
the .fascist regime. These monuments,
Kostof explained, were t 0 serve as positive reinforcement of fascist government.

long cable strung diagonally [rom a tree
on one side to a platform built in.a tree on
the oth~r. I found myself toying with the.
idea of trying it. Besides, Dr. DeBacy was
challenging me to try something.
Anything. Maybe the Pamper Pole?, she
dared me.
No, not the Pamper Pole. ·
As she tightened her own blue safety
harness, one used by mountain climbers,
about my derriere, I knew I had gone too
far to back out now: I began to panic,
though, as I looked at the rope ladder
rising •to the ~walenda Walk," a·'Cilble
suspended 35 feet above ground between
two trees, that stretched to the Zip Line.
With a safetY strap ~lipped into a large,
metal ring hugging my belly button, an
orange helmet on my h~ad , and borrowed
gloves on my hands, I started to climb the
rope ' ladd~r. After only six or seven
rungs, I felt my upper arms tire. Scared, I
considered backtng down. But I didn't
want to embarrass myself: Drs. DeBacy
and Thomas were watching me as were

some P.E. students.
Another physical education professor
yelled to me to push myself up the ladder
with my le$8, b_ut I relied on pulling
myself up wtth ,my arms.
.
Now standing on the cable itself, I ·
realized the vast distante to the opposite
tree. I did not fear falling, because I
trusted the belay system. I feared failing.
It was crucial to keep my arms straight
out in front of me, pushing the shoulderhigh rope away from me-as I side-stepped
the cable. If I allowed the rope to push me
backward, I would tumble from the foot

Slowly, staring at the face of the spotter

I watched from the comer of my eye. I
looked neither right nor left, but sensed
the footage on both sides.

As I reached mid-pojnt, the rope
stretched far from me, yet I continued to

Considerable harassment
Paigen· proc.eded to tell a talc of
considerable harassment and ostracism
from the "State bureaucracy" in her
- further efforts to help the people of Love
Canal. S.oon after she had brought her
concerns .10 the State!s auention, she
started experiencing such things as her
public mail being opened berore she
received it, having to go - through a
completely new grant review process,
having one grant application rescinded
and a denial iss ued on another that had
already been approved. having to file-a
written explanation of all her public
speaking engagements, and various other
petty harassments at work. " I found out
rather quickly that the Health Department's handling of the LoV. Canal
controversy had political implications
and tney had to discourage any
interference on my part," said Paigen. " I
guess the State came to realize th&lt;~,t there
a re many more Love Canals in New York
and any precellent of action they took
would be dangerous. I think this is,why
· they later disc redited my information in
the press; el!l'n though they had
themselves confirmed it earlier." In· any
event, Paige·n came to the conclusion that
she should resign from Roswell Park and
did (she noted that many of the scientists
working for the State, who .followed the
pany line, received promotions).
According to Paigen, the problems she
experienced with the State in the Love
Canal controversy are not unique. She
feels that in every situation where a
"whistleblower" goes public, the State
has an economic , and information
resource advantage. In the case of Love

Nia~ra Falls, N.Y .• that was used by

a

Hooker Chemical to dump some 21 tons
of contaminated waste in the 1950s, and
later sold and used for a housing
development, had become a health
emergency. This came to light through
various complaints of tbc ·residents of
Love.Canal about rancid odors, hot rocks
that would explode when children threw ,
them down, and numerous health
problems. At first, the State suggested
that only the people within the 'inner ring'
of homes in Love c&amp;nal move out. A
health stud.y done later (sunimer.l978) by
the N.Y. State Department of Health, on
an additional850 homes around the inner
ring, reported that these people were not

According- to Pdigen, this study was
based solely on the fact that th~re was no

'Spectrum' unfair to_Grabiner'!
EDITOR:

A new special major in desigil studies in
the. School of Architecture and
Environmental Design was unveiled last
Wednesday by SAED Dean Harold
Cohen. The propam will have special
admissions cnteru~., Cohen said, and will
be sort of a General Education·l'rogram
with a world view - something that
Dean Cohen feels will become iocre.asingly important in future years.
.The program is distinctly preprofessional in nature, and joms two
other undergraduate majors currently
available in SAED (the Bachelor of
Professional Studies in AJ;Chitecture and
the Bachelor of Arts in Environmental
Design and Planning).
The new major is to be administered by
the Department of Design Studies wruch
was formed six years ago for the purpose
of providing a core curriculum for
intended majors in the School and also to
be of service to the general University
student body.
The two present undergraduate majors
in sAEllditictsfudentiinto'profesS.onaJ
programs in planning, arcrutecture and
pubhc service [the latter in connection
with environmental issues]. SAED offers
two graduate professional programs of .
its own, the Master of Architecture and
the Master of Urban Planning.
The deadline date for applying for the
first year of the new program is Monday,
February IS, 19g2. Applical,ions for
admission are available from the School's
Admissions Counselor in 119 Hayes.
Educational obj"cctives
According to Dean Cohen, the
"educational objectives of the Design
Studies special major are based in large
part upon our conviction of the worth
and value of the ide.as embodied in the
writings and te.achings of people like
Maholy . Nagy, John Walley, R.
Buckmmster Fuller, and John McHale,
with all of whom members of our faculty
have been associated at one time or
an.o ther. The heart of the major is in the
courses given in the Department of
Design Studies and in the other two
departments in the .Scho9l of Architecture and Environmental Design. However, nearly half of the content of the
program particularly the upper
divisional level - is ·bi.sed upon courses
in the discipline's and departments
selected for the major in consultation
with the Design Studies Counselor." The
content of the program, Coben said,
"thus represents a collegial partnership

made possible because SUNY AB is a
diverse university center. Particular
emphasis will lte placed upon each
student becoming acquainted with
another culture by taking at least one
year of another language plus courses
directly related to that culture. " The
Department of Design Studies will
organize studto courses in the junior and
senior level to integrate the areas of
knowledge available in the University.
Admissions eriteria
Since the program is new. tentative
criteria for admission have been
established; these will ~ re vised in
subsequent years based upon experience,
Cohen indicated. Students can be
admi~ted to begin the freshman ,
sophomore or junior year of study. For
students applyir!g for the Fall of 19g2,
preference in admissions Will be given to
those students who fulfill a majority of
the following criteria:
I) ACT of 24 or greater.
,
2) SAT of 1100 or greater combined
Verbal and Math (with 500 Verbal
minimum).
3) Top 1/ 3 of high school graduating
class.
4) Minimum of 2 years of foreign
language instruction.
S) 3 Units of high school Mathematics
(or collegiate equivalent).
6) 3 Units of high school Science (or
collegiate equivalent).
7) 4 Units of high school English
Composition and Literature.
g) I Unit of Studio Art _( or collegiate
equivalent).
9) Demonstrated Writing Abili ty.
10) 3.00· Minimum collegiate grade
point average.
.
Dean Cohen offered this additional

Might it not also be a 50Urceofinjusticc? And
should n't Grabiner's riaht to ha~ the matter
reviewed in court be: defended7 Or a~ we all to
be threatened with ridicule in the pres.s if we
exercise our constitutional righ ts'? - I say
"try ... because Grabincr is currently in debt as
a result of the .first stage of his suit and has
three more months on unemployment checks
to carry him through the rest .
Thr Spt'ctrum Editor has avoi~cd comment
on s ubstantive issues raised by the Grabiner
case. Alan C. Kachic's recent front page article
raises the iuue of the lack of recognition of
Marxist journals in Grabine.r's review. ! would
add that if students in the Faculty of
Educ;:ation are to have the possibility of
hearing a Marxist viewpoint. it has to beunderstood that Marxisu Often publish in
Marxist journals, and that such joumals
naturally arc · not given a high kvel of
recognition by the overwhelming majority of
non· Marxists in a given field - even when it is
the best (Marxist) journal in the area .
As to whetherGrabincr"s publ ication record
is -slim, .. u it seems to Thr Sputrum Editor.
is this j udgment ti.sed on knowledge of the
publication of others who have received
tenure? Or, after first docllnina to comment on
the mcriu of the case, is he simply chiming in
with the administration verdict?
No consideration is gj\"Cn to t~ fact that
Grabiner"s pubiM:ation record was based on
little more than half t~ time usually allotted
for purposes of tenure review. It took me, too.
two and a half yean to complete my
dissertation after being hired here. But
fonunately for me, I was hired as a Lecturer
and not u ~a.n Assistant Professor, and my
officia l probationary period began after I
finished my diuc.rtation. I understand that
university practice regarding the aranting of
~urerships was changing between the time I
was hired. in 1967. and 1974 whC.n Grabiner
was hired.
of I~ it d~~~:::yi~njt~:~~~h:ht!~ tC:~~~~~~
monetary ad vantage and . can be: easily
remedied if the desire is there, should play s uch
a decisive role in an individual's career'! 1M
SJWt'lrum editorial willfully di1regards this
araumcnt in scressing G rabiner's '"seven year
stay"' - im plying that he has bc:c:n given the
same treatment as the rest of u.s.
In taking this issue to coun Grabineris not
challen&amp;ing the honest opinion of faculty who
eumined his vita. but the unfairness of the
underlying conditions in which the review
took place, and the refusal
the ad minis·
' tration 10 rectify }his unfairness.

GRAHAM N-AMED

Thr S,wrlrum has taken t~ probably
unprecrdented step of bringing out a s«ond
W:ue d irt'Cied against a junior faculty member
in its a rt tc:k and editorial on Dr. Gent
Grabinrf (November JO. 1981).
The first anti-Grabiner iuue. of April 12.
1981. appeared at a · tinic when facult y and
students were trying to pre\'ent Grabiner's
firing. Apparently it was not enough to hit him
when he was down, Now that he is out. Thr
Stwnrum in its recent editorial "'Tenure
Tantrums"' has taken another kick .
The excuse gi\'en is that by !iuing the
uniVttSity, Grabiner is ridiculing his former
colleagues and suptriors. Thr S{Wctrum does
not want -outsiders.- including the courts. to
look into uni~rsity affairs. and Kents to trust
impl ici tly the wisdom of the. local
administration and the tenure review
procedure.
·
In the next breath. however. Thr Spt't·trum
admits that ihis system has serious flaws , such
as the absence of e.xplicn criteria for tenu~ .

"students are overv.'helmingly imprcssecl with
his intellectual skills and competencies .. and
note Mh is exceptional ability to engage us in
tho~&gt;t kinds of thoughtful relationships that
result in d iscovery and klmina."
Dr. Ahbach has told Dr. Rossberg that
"'about a half-do1.en"' students h&amp;\'C raised
serious questions in his mind as to whether
Grabiner misht be too "'ideological" in hi$
coutseli. And to 1"'M SJWrtrum. the uniVersity

Is it art'!
EDITOR:
It is no wonder that in times characterized by a
loosening,of cultural norrm and social bonds.
there is a growing tendency to escape from
re-ality.
It seems to me that the exhibit{at Slec Hall]
is one of many which jrnpresses one as a revolt
against reality. a gross d istortion. It looks as if
it wt:n:: a work of voyeurism mixed with ·
boredom, a nort5ensical simplistic attitude
that n~,.-adays is cal5ed "art."

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

Buffalo Evening News critic Herman

"The largest, unseen star of the evening, ,though, remains the remarkable

was li v'e, wann, reverberant, but not the

' Hats off to the acoustical engineers and

• The Cour(er-Express, in a November

The "new buildinss arc fitiin&amp; memorials

For some time, Hoar has been
interested in the ver1iral planes of
the urba~J...Iandscape as a subjecr
for his photograph)'· His aim is n 01
to documeni 1he variety of walls
which can be found in a rity. bur
to select those which impress him
in pur.Jy visual terms. Two years
ago he began to use color, which
added a nl'w, painterly dimension
to his earlier exploration of lines,
planes. and tex4Ure of venica/
surfaces.
He is especially fascinared by
H'alls which·surrouhd construction
sites, because of their continuous
change. Also interesting to Hoar is
the diamond shape of the cut-out
section, allowing o ne to view
·
construction in progress, and the
various objects s~~n. through that
shape: a view of buildings out-offocus, a doonvay, part of a truck,
a cemt»m f1}ix~r. tht» bouom pan of

(portable toilet). He miik.s an

obslruetions to the view. ·His

Hoar is of Hungarian extraction.
but was born in Japan in 1941 and.
grew up there. He holds an 'M. F.,A.

Rebueting crHicysm
.
The usc oft he mantr.t in the TM method
of the Maharishi Yogi recently prompted
.a univcrslty studen t to write The Spectrum after it ran a- feature article on TM
(Nov. 9): The angered student.claimed
that " in orde r to receive your mantra
(t he re being on ly 16. a ll totalled , and each
a direct referen ce to a Hind~ diet y). you
* must offer a gift on an altar to several of
the classical Hindu gods." When queried
about this criticism of the TM f.i ogram.
-Dann and Behrens were emphatic in their
rebuttal of tht letter:
.. It's true thaJ there are a limited
number of mantras that the teachtr can
give to the partiCipant,''Cxplained Bann.
.. bu1 they are not in any way a reference to
a Hindu diely."'The offering of incense.
ri~ . candles and fruit is si mply a traditional ceremony in gratitude of th e
Maharishi 's teacher (a human) and the
teacher trad ition in general. It's not in
any way religious because there is no faith
or belief invo lved in the technique. The
only o ne offering Ihe gifts to1he t.radititin
is the teacher himself. not thc.particip,ants
(who just watch)." Behrens added : " We
even have priests and rabbis practicing TM without any connict at all."
. . · Dann an~ Behrens conceded that once
you have learned the TM technique, you
· haNe learned it and are not asked to come
·
back .
"We really like to thinkwf TM as an
indi vidual stress·management program
that enllbles the practitioner to gain a
greater' creativity of the mind in a simple
and natural manner." they concluded.
Dann holds a master's degrCe in geol·
ogy from Michigan Tech (Dartmouth
UQdergrad). and Behrens receive4 a
bachelor's in ma1h education from
·Mahilris hi Internat ional Universi ty (see
below). For anyone interested in the TM
program. there'will be a free introductory
lecture on .. Develop ing Mental Potential

Expanding the mind
According Jo Dann. TM is basi"'!IIY a
systematic method , of expanding the
mind .
'
"We si mply follow a thought back to
its source which is where all creativi~ and
intelligenc~ comes from." he exphlineil .
,'\&amp;This helps to expand one's conscious·
.
ness greatly." Behrens explained further that once
this so urce of c re'ltivi ty is reached by .the
perso n practicing TM. there occurs a very
pleasant experience .... You get a wonderful relief from all th at mental and physical fatigue that people ordinarily go
through . The TM met hod roots out the
problems and stress of life," he added.
.. lt "s a kind of coming home feeling - a
very natural oqe."
Danil and Behrens view this feeling of
.. restful alertness" as only a scr:atching of
the surface of the benerits one can obtain
by practicingTM . They.Pointed tocxten. sivc research . on TM program partici. pants. do~ in over /100 universities and

At MIU, TM
comforts everyone;
crime is rare
feel s. is that it fills tfie goals of.tnterdisciplinary learning . ... It integrates objective
3'1ld •ubjective knowledge by what we call
the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI)
- a scientific study of the tiasic principles
of intelligence and orderliness which
occur in meditation," he expl\ined .' The
SCI theory is what the followers of TIY\
see as keeping MIU different from other
higher education institutions t.h at focus
only on .. the external world of senses."
Behrens was quick to add that SCI makes
no claims fpr a divine origin and .. throws
all of its priilciples into the arena of
science" (empiriciLl studies are presently
underway at MIU to determine if brain
wave cohereiice[orderliness] is a result of
practic ing TM).
M IU boasts a unique curriculum structure a lso. The first two years at the university are spent taking a sequence of
·" core courses" in all the major academic
diSciplines. The first year contains 21
one- or two-week. courses while the
second yea r has ·Six in-depth one-month
... blocks" in a student's selected discipline.
According to Behrens. this unique structure will allow the stUdent to ... feel at
home with all knowledge."
Student life at MIU is the same as at
other universities in terms of social activities and sports but unique in the atmosphere surrounding it, says Behrens ... The
atmosphere is extremely open and warm
and mosrpeople don' worry about locking their bikes o~ door.;. A high degree of

It 's more than a trade ·union, ·

English, learned in "a very
difficult career situation"- six
years in prison - the legal

advisor for Solidarnosc, 'the independent

trade union fhat has bravely risked the
threat of SOviet wrath to press for social
reforms in Poland, described the
reformist movement in his na tive country
on campus last Tuesday.

"'

Solidarnosc (''Solid_!Vity'1 is "not only
a trade unaon but a soc1a l movement on a

national scale fig hting for basic human

rights lor all citizens.·· Wieslaw
Chrza n ows~i told a small crowd in the

em phasized that Solidarnosc is not
figh ting aga inst socia.Jism itself: but for
reforms.
.. Only very deep reform can solve this
s)•stem," C hnanowski declared ... The
main point of this reform is selfgovernment of employees in state
enterprises.··
Chrzanowski. who as Solidarnosc's
legal representative sUccessfull y argued
two far- reachi ng civ il righ ts cases before
the Polish Supreme Court. has since his
youth foug ht agai nst op press ion. His· six

It was a decision no doubt tegre tted by
governtl)ent of(icials last yea r. when the
~olish Supreme Court declared that
Solidarnosc could be ollicially n:cog·
ni1.ed as ap independent trade union. a
co nCe~ sion allowed by the government
under threat of g~neml strikes. Last
February. after scvcml student ~trikes. otn
i~ dcpendent studc~t association. not
controlled b~ · the Communi~t Party. was
also allowed tQ be registered bvthecourt .
These changes have vast ~igilificancC in
Polish history. Chnunowski ~id. sinCe
"the party had to rc~ign from.1 its
monopoly in social control."
The curre nt struggle by t he Polish
people for great. -political co ntr~l is not
a new one. th.c slender. gray-haired
Chrzanowski explained. Of all the
Eastern bloc countries. Poland enjoys the
greatest autonomy. one which W'd~ not
gained without great cost.
"The events of 1980 and 1981 proved
that the political system of People's
Poland is reformist." Chr1.anowski
declared . In 1-956. the government had to
allow 80 pcrcenl of poland 's farmland to
be owned by individuals; in 1975. it
accepted the independent role of the
Catholic Church .

Has 10 millio n mem bers
Solidarnosc now has 10 million members
throughoUt Poland. which represe nts

one-third of the total population and
two-thirds of the workforce.
In order to understand government
opposition to the current labor
movement in Poland. one must
understaftd the underlying concept of
Stalin. Chr1..anawski explained .
"'The Communist Pa rt y is the leading
force of the workers' class." he said. "The
leadership of the tr.1de unions is
appointed by the part y. From a Marx ist
poiilt of view. since production is owned
by the workers. our s trike~ arc against the
working class."
But Solidarnosc's strikes are needed a's
" the last weapon of th e working class."
Chrzanowski sta ted . Its goal ts to enlarge
Poland's indepe ndence.
The movement is not o ne o nly of the
wo rking class. Chr7.anowski noted . "I n

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

Enrollment is up, an auspicious sign that
Williams attributes, in part, to. the new
buildings . Tliis fall's undergradua~

(up from I SJlast fall) and 89 master's and
Ph.D. students, "up about IS from last

students" in 1986.

So, while \be department lost the Rowe

3ohn Clough from the University of
Michigan as. its new Slce Professor.
"We're el[tremely hai,'PY W&lt;: were able lo
recruit a senior tbeonst to build a gradu-

Another happy sign: Alan Heatherington, "'an extremely talented and expe-:
rienced conductor and violinist," has
joined the facult y.
Some drawbacks
There are dra)"backs, of course. Slce, for
instance, is not designed for o~ra ; th~re

harlq Haynie of Tolstoy College and Peter Murphy of the
Graduate Student Association issued a warning· to-the
campus community a couple weeks ago on the eve of a
teach-in on The New Right, that thinking peopl! had, in their view,
much tg fear from the increasingly conservative mood of the
country,theseTlays. To bear olit that warning, Haynie, Murphy and
others concerned with what they COIJSider to be danger on the rifht
arranged a week-long series of panels on economics, racism, the
rights of public employees, The Bomb and affirmative action. The
ideas and spea~rs, howe~r, were almostmore numerous than the
audiences. Dra~J~ing the biggest crowds pf the week were films of
suffering inflicted by The Bomb at Hiroshima, shown on TV
monitors. Said one disappointed organizer, "This is strictly a TV
generation."The-only way to get their attention is to put everything
on tape and play it through a TV set." Following are a series of
reports on what the public missed:

Reaganomics is an old macroeconomic

stimulating eco'nomic growth to solve a

strategy.
The Democrats ... on the other hand,

Borst next alluded to the work on the
test explosion of the first bomb in Nevada •
and the "tremendous pressure .. for success at that time.
" In the mipds oft he Pentagon then, we
bad to drop\ the bomb on Japan before
the Russians entered the Pacific arena.
This created a lot of pressure on the people connected ith the test explosion and
there was no time for extensive stud y
afte""ards." Borst explained. In addition
to this, Borst pointed out that the neutron
bomb, one that theoretically kills people
without destroying buildings or existing
structures, is just a modification of the
hydrogen bomb and even less effective.
..Neutron radiation does not affect
people a~ much so why l!uild the neutron
bomb? It's a useless and un-needed weapon,"' he noted!
Reitan was concerned with the "wholesale devotion of our resources for the
production of arms. We have"to hope that
this building up of nuclear ai1JlS is a pure
unadulterated wa~te of our resources and
that it serves no purpose."

Ms. Willis concluded the panel
discussion with a view Of what it 1,sed to
be like for the .. prOfessional" wc1rker in
.the public sector.
.. Years ago, we were told that it was
very unprofessional to belong to a union

2,000 professional titles belonging to

added ... We are part of this country's

the State feel that way? The Taylor Law is
thei r only method of negotiation.··

u Klux Klan nightriders of the
reconstruction era may be gone
with the wind, but the Klan is
alive a nd sick in both the South
and elsewhere.
Randall Williams, director of the
Southern Poverty Law Center in
Montgomery, Alabama, brought that
message to a turnout of less than 20 in
Wende !tall Friday night. The Center
which Rand all heads specializes in
watch ing the Klan in order to gain
information to use against them in the
courts.
.
Wi\liams,said his group uses undercoyer
tactics at times. He had just recently
helped Klansmen burn a cross in Georgia
in order to get documentat ion on
members that could be used later in
litigation .
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a
privat~. ten-year-old c1vil rights group
wh1ch has begun a formal " Kianwatch"
'Jlrogram. That is what Williams was here
to talk about. Klanwatch, he said, was
begun after an inCident involving c 'urtis
Robinson , a former member of the
CoasterS, which occurrefl in Decatur,
Alaba.ha, in May 1979. Robinson had
been harassed by Klansmen to the point
that•he shot a member of the Klan during
a confrontation between black m8rchers
and Klan members in that small Alabama
town. WiJiiams and 6is assbciates tOok
the case because it was clear to them that
Robinson was acting in self-defense,
although he waS: later found guilty.
It -was that case that brought to light
the fact that, contrary to what Williams
and his associates had believed, the Klan
is once again at work. 'The robed
organization had dwindled to about 1500
members in the early 70s, Williams said.
Many people thought it had died at the
hands of the civil rights movement and
the accompanying gains . in combating
· ~titutionalized racism in the South.
Whil~ there are currently only about
10,000 to 12,000 active Klan members in
the
,U.S., Williams said, that represents
1
&amp; 0 increase of SO per cent over five years
. ago: Tnat's serious.

K

Middle·~ respectability
The danger, in his vieW, lies not in a threat
to the security oftbe U.S., Qui ~p the very
fact that the Klan has set out to gain and
seems to .be achieving a sort 'of middle
class respectabilitf.
Klan leader Bill Wilkinson apJ!CSred
on the Phil Donahue ShoW posing as a
resonable champion of tbe white race,
carefully disavowing any racial .. or
religious hatred. Threats against blacks ·
and Jews ·are reserved for bebind-tbe5ce-, off-the"reC:ord meerinss, Williams
said. In public, Klan leaden pretend to be
just average Joes. Some of them, s.lch as
David Duke, former leader of the Klan in
Louisiana, have a sort or charisma tliat

groundfloor display CtJSe is a series
of photographs by Patrick Hayes
entitled " Runners and DancerJ." It
represents tire photographer's
observatiom, both .serious and wry,
of these two itthktic and
demanding ~ndiavors. The runners
were a natural subject for Pat,
although he indicotes he has now
traded in most of the 10 to 15
miles per week Ire used to run, for
/0 to 15 hours per week printing in
the El/ico/1 Craft Center darkroom.
He notes that "any race. no
mbller how long. has the potentia/.
for some dramatic moments, but ·a
lot is going on before and after the
competition, too. Thes~ photographs cover several races from the
spring and summer of 1980. Dance
is a very recent fascination. II
surely wOs created to be
photographed.
" The f!lembers of the Buffalo
Regional Ballet (Artists-inResidence at Black Mountain II
College) have b'!_en terrifically
cooperative :subjects. very
p:courqging of my efforts," Ha)'es
says. "I'm especially pleased with
th~:se ckznce- photos because most

Jituations...
Hayes is a counselor in the
Career Planning Office at Main
Str~c·· 1 suppose I've considered
myself to be among the ranks .of
serious amateurs ever since I took ....
my first photo course aJ Bethune
Hall three summers ago. The
medium really works for me as a~
means for creative self-expression. "

Klanwatch .has detected a growmg
collaboration between Nazi movements
· in this co untry and the Klan, Williams
pointed out. The NaziS- have found, he
said , that they cannot get recognition
under their owrl colors. Jf they present
th emselves as Klansmen, however, many
people react more favorably. A grou~
known as the New Order of the Knights
of the KKK has been fo unded by a neoNazi ch iro practo r from Marie tt a,
Georgia. Other known Nazi organizers
have been detected moving into other
Klan organizations that have leadership
vacuums, Williams reported. He was not
able, however, to make any docu mented
accusatio)ls concern ing ties between
Nazis and Klansmen in th is po untry, and
the growing right wing terrorist
organizations in Europe, although he
feels certain such ties exist.
Williams suggested that the most
productive thing ordinary people can do

to stand up against them in protes"t
demonst rations and also through ·
litigatio n, when necessary. He noted that
in communities Where civic leadership
has come down strong -against Klan
activity, the level of such activity has been
pr-actically nil. What we need in this
country, he urged •.is a strong signal from'
.the top level of th·e Reagan Administra.tion that the nation will not stand for a
-renewal ofTacial hatred and Violence. To
date, this kind of signal has not been
forthcoming, he said. Nor was any such

Williams added. Carter simply downplayed the Klan and Nazi issue, hoping it
would quieUy go away.

tion.
Steven Cupery, who works in Cornell's
Division of Occupational Safety and
Health Programs,' did not make any
effort to hide his bias against the cu rrent
Republican administration. He high·
lighted OSHA's gains under Carter and
then compared them to the relatively
d ismal · state of affairs under Reagan,
Ford and Nixon. Due to the economic
and pqtitical orientation of Republicans,
he pointed out, they are far less
sympathetic to an agency like OSHA
than Democrats. " It's a fact of life," hereiterated ...
The 1970 Occupational Safety and ·
Health Act, which crea ted OSHA, came
after a decade of lobbying by labor,
Cupety recounted. Priorto the passage of
the act, industry "had failed to regulate
itself, .. with workers ex peiiencing 30 per
cent · more injuries· and accidents.
Employees were also made to work in
environments which had increasing
amo unts of toxic substances, he noted .
When safety Programs were instituted,
the responsibility fell to the w.orkers to
ensure the program worked. Instead of
management developing engineering
controls to rectify the situation, workers
were given protective garb to guard their
. . . b-o"dies against hazards, Cupery lamented.

decline in the number of minor vio lations
cited, but even grea ter increase in the
number- of major violations foun d. For
exa mple, in 1973, OSHA inspectors
found 1,973 serious violations. In a
comparable tim~ period in 1.979, 38,104
were found. In the same ptriod, minor
violations dropped from 153,670 in 19?3
to 85,907 in 1979. The agency t ried to
re s pond to serious problems and
complaints of employees ~ther than
"nitpick," Cupery explained . Inspections
were zeroed 10 on larger compames which
em ployed greater numbers of people.
In addition, standards were simplified,
CUpery noted, with a movement away
from detailed "specification standard s.,
to "performance standards." Also, to
gua rd against unfair, arbitrary· fines (a
oig complainl of managers), considerati on was given to the histOry of...previous
citations, the good fa ith effort of
management to rectify them and other
factors. Because small &amp;usiness didn'
have the capital to hire ·technical
~peaalists, OSHA, also during the Carter
years, targeted substaotial funds• to its
employer oonsultation "program
Moreover, Cupery sa;id there has been
a shift away from concentrating on
· serious violations to a focus on minor
infractions.

Should public be
allowed to use untesteddrug~ of their choice?
ecause the public has voiced its
d esire forJaetrile and marijuana
- even though only limit&lt;;!!
testing has 6ee"n done on either
- a debate centers on whether people
- should be allowed the freedom to choose
to use drugs that liave undetermined
effects, a pharmaceutics faculty member
mentioned in class the. other day as he
sketched the · chemical structure of the
drugs.
In 1938, the Food and Drug
Administration was given the power to·
· n::quire individuals and / or companies to
prove a drug wassafeand effective before
the FDA would approve it for use in the
United States, Raymond Galihsk~ said.
Six years ago, he said, a man by the
name of Rutherford who claimed to have
been cured of cancer in Mexico with
laetrile, sued the U.S.- in an Oklahoma
coun for the right to obtain the drug as a ·
prophylaxis. He won. But five years
later, the Supreme Coun overruled tlie
decision.
' ·
There is no objective data from
legitimate scientific trials about the
efficacy of laetrile, Galinsky said , yet
well-&lt;&gt;rganized public suppon of the
"cancer cure" has prodded the Natio nal
Cancer Instit ute to bypass extensive
testing on ani mals to d o research on
laetrile i!! humans.

B

It releases cyanide
Laetrile, a cyanogenic glycoside fou nd in
apricot and peach pits, initiates a
chemical reaction in the body that
releases hydrogen cyariidc , which
allegedly kills cancer cells. Cancer cells,
unlike normal cells,laetnl advoca tes say,
do not ha ve rhodanese, an enzyme that ·
eliminates the to xicity qf cyanide.
California, Galinsky said, has the
largest laetrile lobby in the nation and the
greates_t number of patients treated with
laetrile. The }Vest Coast state also has the
highest incidence of cyaniQe poisoning. ,;
' Thirteen states, Galinsky said , have
pMed legislation permitting the public
the freed om to obtain laetrile.
He mentioned tha t most of the laetrile
I
sold in Mexico is made from *pricots
impo rted from California. Two hundred
pits grind down intp a three-gram laetrile
injection that costs between six a nd nine
dollars, Galinsky said.
Several years ago, he said, laetrile
advocates tried to persuade the Food and
is choreograplied to the rhythm of.top ten
Drug Administration to ap11.rove laetrile
music.
·
The clinic, which will be held at I p.m. · as a vitamin - B 17. Bttt no evidence, he
said, could be found to sh'ow laetrile was
in the Clark Hall gymnasium, is open to
a.. nutritional component IICcessary for

~
Not enough testing has yet been done,
Svensson warned , to establish evidence
of its long term effects.
One animal study suggested the
connection betwee'n marijuana and ,.
stillbinh, Svensson said. It has been
shown that T HC does cross the placenta.
THC is the · major active chemical in
marijuana, the o ne that produces the
:high."
A poorly-ronducted 1974 study that
received Congressional attention,
Galinsky said, indicated marijuana
decreaSes testosterone in males and could
lead to sterility. Other reputable studies
repudiated the clai ms.
Brain damace?
A 1971 study conducted in Ent;land
suggested that chronic marijuana use
resulted i~ brajn damage; &lt;Jahnsky said .
But all the subjects had used othec drugs,
he poinled out. Recent researchers usi ng
CAT scans showed marijuana users
d isplay no brain atrophy.
Other tests, though, Galinsky said,
show marij uana can be linked with
bronchitis a nd emphysema. A si ngle'
joint, he said, has as much tar a nd residue
as one pack of cigarettes.
In 1975, when the U.S. federal
government ltsted confiscated marij uana, Galinsky said, tl:ie-y discovered a
•.44 per cent THC content. l.n 1979;-tbey •
recorded a 4.2 per cent THC content.
When the . United States initiated the
Mexican marijuana eradication program
in ·1975 by· spraying the plants with
paraquat, buyers began to impo_rt
Columbian ~ marijuana. S.vensson said.
Ironically, he mentione.d, because
Columbia's clim'fe is mor~ agreeable to
Cannabis sativa, the quality improved
and the THC concentrat ion increased .
Testing marij uana has beth difficult,
Svensso n said . For accurate results,
researchers should isolate a single
compound a nd test it by itself.
Marijuana has over 400 active
chemicals in it.
Physiological effects of THC
The physiol~gical effects of the major
chemtcal :rHC are an increased heart
rate, a widening of the windpipe, a dry
mouth, red eyes, irritated throat, and an
increase in glare recovery time.
With low dose.s ofTHC, Galinsky said,
the psychological effects are euphoria, a
change in:Vme perception, a heightening
of perception and a loss of shon-term
memory: With blah doses; the effects are
depersonalization, disturbed motor
function 'lind panic.
. Mental patients, Svensson said, should
-no1 be allowed the use of marijuana/ ~':~either should children, he said.
Galinsky quoted from a l977/78 study
that showod_.... that eiBbf M. llCJit of .

More recent surveys, Svensson said, ·

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

�November 12, 1981, Volume 13, No. 11

. By WENDY ARNDT
egislation will not force the
drunk drive r off the road. but a
senator who has had two friends
slaughtered on the highway has
introduced a bill into Congress he
believes might reduce the 73 deaths per
day caused by the combination of alcohol
and the automobi le.
In February, Rhode Island Senator
Claiborne Pel! introduced a bill that
would: require all convi ncted drunk
drivers tO' donate 10 days of community
service for a fi rst offense and spe nd at
lea.tiO days in jail for the second offense
within a five-year period; restrict the
licenses of first offenders. perhaps forcing
them to display special plates; and
require sentencing judges to refer a
problem drinker to an alcohol treatment
or rehabilitation center.
Speaking to those gathered at a U/ B
Law School alumni convocation
Saturday, Senator Pel! said, "I have long
been : amazed that a society which
expr~ses shock and outrage over 20.000
homicides a year continues to accept.
year after year, an even greater number of
deaths at the hands of drunk drivers.
.. In crimes of passion as well as with
drunk driving, there is no premeditated
criminal intent, but in both cases the end
result is a crime . .. . We are too rarely
_willing to treat it as one."

L

Le&amp;islation won't solve the problem
Legislation will not solve the problem
that kills 26,000 people and costs fi ve
billion dollars per year, Senator Pel!
acknowledged. Only when the American
public decides drinking and driving will
no longer be an acceptable combinat ion.
will the problem be resolved.
The Rhode Island senator said that in
Finland, an alcohol level of half the
standard for intoxication in the United
1States resUlts in a mandatory threemonth prisoii. sentence. And in West
Germany, a driver's license may be
suspended for three months to three
years, depending on the results of a blood
test. Many West German judges, Senator
Pell went on, fine a heavy drinker one
month 's wages in addition to removing
his license.
In Australia, the names of drunk
drivers are published in the local papers.
he said. In Turkey, drunk drivers are
taken 20 miles from town and forced to
walk back under police escort .
Other countries have addressed the
problem, Senator Pel! summarized. The
United States, the country with the
highest number" of alcohol-related traffic
fatalities, per capita, of any nat io n in the
world, should do likewise.
Two of his associates were killed

friends were killed by drunk drivers. One
of his staff members was killed by a man

charge of manslaughter by automobile.
he received a one-year suspended
sentence. A close friend and associate, who
helped him draft the idea for the Basic

_His " legislation. Senator Pel! _ satd, ·
wOuld guarantee that even the first
offense by a drunk driver would incur
punishment. He reminded his audience
that a person is considered legally drunk

alcohol level is . 10. That means a 160pound person would have had to drink
five drinks in one hour to be tagged as

He acknowledges that his suggested
punishment is not severe. But judges and

Ralston authors account of a weekend with refuseniks
" T o Moscow for the weekend,'" a
description of a recent trip to
the Soviet Union to meet with
dissident and refusenik scientists, has been co-authored by Anthony
Ralsto n of U/ B and is featured in the
November 1981 issue of Th• Bulletin of
th~ A tomir Sri~ntists.
Ralston is chair of the Committee on
Scientific Freedom and Human Rights of
the A~sociation for Computing Machinery avd a member of tfie executive board
of the Committee of Concerned Scientists. Recently, he and Earl Callen, professor of physics at American University
in Washington. D.C .. visited the Soviet
Union. Callen is a member and past vice. chair of the Committee of Concerned
Scientists and a member of the executive
board of the Helsinki Watch, a national
committee which monitors U.S. compliance with the Helsinki Accords.
Both men had previously traveled to
the Soviet Union and compared past
conditions with those they saw today.
They write that in 1966, "you could
believe, naively perhaps. that t~e Sovtet
system was evolving. mellowmg and,
even if still unpleasant. becoming more
benign." Their Russian colleagues
seemed free to attend professional meetinp and meet with foreign visitors.

But things had changed by 1973.
Because scientists had begun pushing for
internal reforms or applying for emigration status, armed guards barred the
doors of Moscow State University, denying entrance to Soviet physicists not
approved for attendance by the govern'ment. The foreign scientists were
appalled and organized a "special session" of the International Conference on
Magnetism at the apanment of Alexander Votonel, who t}ad been active in
tbe dissident JllOvement.
40 forel&amp;n scientists

At this meeting of forty foreign scientists
with the Moscow Sunday Scientific
Seminar. the authors of the Bull~tin arti·
cle met Irina and Vikt&lt;&gt;r Brailovsky. at
whose apartment the meeting they wrote
a bout was held.
~
According to Ralston and Callen, the
IS Soviet scientists attend in&amp; the Sunday
Seminar had distinsuished themselves in
their fields but because of political pressures had been forced to take menial JObs.
They describe the official harusment suffered by refusenik and dissident scientists, the refusal by government and university officials to become involved in
helping these scientists emigrate, tbe
arrest and "trial" _of Viktor Brailovsky.

Of the dissidents, the authors write,
" One would think this would be a
depressed group, bitter and angry. Tiiey are angry but they are not depressed . ...
The C"haracteristic Ru ssian warmth
expresses itself in the cohesiveness of the
dissidents, in the way they help each other
and share within each group . . .. The
dissidents may be the onty case of voluntary communism in the Soviet Union."
While Ralston and Callen believe that
they were certainly followed and
observed by the KG B. the Soviet secret
police, no overt actions were taken to
stop them from meeting with the dissidents. Tht'y note that in other countries,
such as Argentina, official terrorism is
much more out in the open. "The Soviet
Union is beyond that," they write, "it has
more of• the appeal'1ilnce of being a
government of law than many countries
of the United Nations."

Dhsu..J. a...i

refusenlb
The two Americans point out that the
dissidents and refuseniks study and use
the law, and that it can be to their advantage, except that when pressed, "the
Soviets drop the facade of leplism" and
will isnore a defendant's riJhts when they
deem it necessary.
Ralston and . Callen write that tbe

scientific boycott of the Soviet Union is
,b_adly .hu(l_ing t~c; _:;_~'(i~l~.arul that they
would welcome its lifting. They recommend a flexible method of dealing with
the Soviets. While scientists should
strongly protest when human rights in
that country are violated and other
scientists are denied the right to emigraty
and attend meetings, foreign scientists
should also commend Soviet official
when their actions are positive. as wh_Fn
they do allow certain scientists to.leat"e.
What we should be doing with the Russians. they write, "is minimizin~para­
noia. assuaging the historic Slav1c insecurity, encouraging self-respe~t .. _ . It
seems desi rable to encoura e the Russians to relax, to get past xe ophobia and
to be confident in their va strength. But
when they act like bul · s, we must resist."

found . She investigated through
extensive surveys two hypotheses. the
role model effect and how pan::nts'
expectations and messages encovraged
or discouraged their children in taking
math.
Parents revealed ..consistent sex-type
differences:'' Parsons said, with fathers
liking math more, having less difficult y
with ii and seeing it as more imponam
than mothers did. Parsons noted that this
study was done in Ann Arbor among a
pani~ularly weU-educated group. She
concluded that there was no correlation
between the parents' attitudes about
math in general and their child ren's
attitudes.

By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
athematics is a ..critical filter"
that closes women out of·
many college degree programs. the second in the
Colleges' series of speakers or:a gender
differences in mathematical achtevement
·argued in her lecture on Friday.
Jacquelynne E. Parsons, co-author of
Women and St'x Roles and an editor of

M

Psychab.iolog}• pf Sex - Differences,
recommended that schools use ..active
intefventionn to counter the myths about
mathematics shared by both junior high
school students aqd their parents.
An associate professor of .developmental psychology at the University of _
Michigan at Ann Arbor, Parsons has for
the past four years been conducting an
extensive longitudinal project on
influences affecting mathematics achievemel'lt and participation involving more
than I ,000 families .
.. Women are dropping out of math
much too early given their abilities, .. she
said, noting that her study looks at
attirudes and achievements in youngsters
from the 5th to 9th gcades. The 400
students involved were screened for
ability, so that all those participating in
che study have demonstrated their
capabilities to do well in math courses.
How good are you!

In order to assess factors contributing to
the students' decisions whether or not to
take math. Parsons and her research
group asked them attitudinal questions
~~~:"=ru~o~.!~h.f..ou at math? .. and ,
They found that the studen ts- very
strongly believed in a "myth" about
mathematics: that it is very hard and that
it gets more difficult every year as they go
on.
Belief in this myth forces teenagers to
make choices that are often mutually
incompatible. Parsons said. For instance,
if a student believes that each year math
will become more difficult and create
more work, he or she may choose instead
to tiy out for a team sport or become a
cheerleader in the senior year insread of
taking math courses. Most schools.
require math only through 9th or lOth
gcade.
Parsons also found that ..as kids g~t
math." Fifth and sixth graders think
math is easy, fun and imponant. To 9th
and lOth graders, math is hard and not
wonh the effort.
Girls ore turned off eorlier
The sex differences in attitudes mirrored
developmental differences, Parsons also
discovered. "Whatever turned all tbe
students off, turned girls off about a year
earlier," she noted. This has serious
consequences, since girls are generally
turned off to math by the end of lOth
grade, when they have to decide whether
to take lith grade calculus. Boys usuaUy
take at least one extra year of math.
A very discouraging finding by
Parsons was that girls'decisions whether

Jacquelynne Par•o1111

or not to take math were not based on
past or present performance, but on
attitudes about math and their own
abilities. But their attitudes were not
shaped by their grades, even if they got all
A's.
'"'There was no evidence at any point
that the girls achieved less well than the
boys either in aptitude or grades,"
Parsons remarked, .. but there is a marked
difference in their attitudes." Her ·study
and others have shown that boys tend to
relate their achievement to their innate
ability, while girls tend to attribute it to
hard work or luck.
Teochen hove little effect
In order to see how these atticudes
develop. Parsons looked at four possible
influences: parents, teactters, fnends in
school and school counselors.
She concluded after 'monitoring math
classrooms for 160 hours that teachers
seem to have little effect on students'
attitudes.
"'What's going on in classrooms is not
discour~aing girls in math, but it is not
encouraging them either~" she said.
"'Schools do nothing to counter the math
myth. We found very little that was
(positive) in our teachers. I never saw a
teacher once tell students what the point
was of an assignment or relate it to the
real world. I never saw a teacher tell a
child he or she was sman."
Most of the junior high teachers
sucveyed did not treat boys and girls
differently in math class. or did so only in
very subtle ways, Parsons said, adding
that teacher~student interaction was very
businesslike, mostly question~and·

spectrum. They get the least amount of
praise, even less than students in lower
achieving groups ...
Parsons noted that the one-third'figure
for poor teaching has cropped up in
studies of other groups, and that these
classrooms are generally not well~run or
organized in other ways. But in order to
find motivations for these teacher
attitudes, she described the behavior of
this subgroup to groups of other teachers
and asked for explanations. She received
two rationales that were, interestingly,
based on the sex of the teacher.
Female teachers t.ended to say that the
attitude "made sense," that it was
imponant not to lose the brightest boys
who needed more encouragement. Girls
don't ..cause problems"in class and don't
need the teacher's help. Parsons teemed
this a .. benign matemalistic orientation."'
Male teachers, on the other hand, had
a very sexual orientation to the issue,
saying it was much easier to encourage
the boys, "pat them on the back"without
worrying that a parent would object that
the teacher was getting "too friendly"
with a daughter. They said they feared
being the object of a "teenage crush" and
so purposely did not appear overly
interested in girls' progress.
School counselors consistently ranked
at the very bottom of influences, Parsons
noted. They play a very passive,
nonpositive role and give students little
information.·

the child's attitudes about math most .
even more strongly than the child's
abilities.
Parents should reconsider
.. Parents don't sex-differentiate ability."
Parsons explained, "but they do
differentiate how hard a child has 10
work . Daughters also say they have to
work harder at math, when they actuall y
work the same number of hours as the
boys. Their parents agree with them.
..Parents, too~ say their daughter's
performance is more a function of their
effons than their abilities, .. Parsons
added. "They tell boys they are smart.
and tell girls they are working hard."
Girls conclude that they will have to
work harder and harder each year.
Parsoris said, and so many give up when
~hey can.
Parents should reconsider their
attitudes that math is less important for
their daughters. Parsons recommend ed.
"'and think about what it means to stop
taking math." She feels schools should
intervene and educate parents about the
need for math, noting that more than half
the majors at most universities have math
prerequisites that go· beyond what most

girls take in high school.

Any difference in treatment by groups
tended to be in teachen' attitudes toward
the "top half"' and ··bottom half"' of tbe
group, not differentiated by sex.
But in one-third of tbe classrooms
there were very marted differences in
treatment by teochen, with students
divided not amona the "top half"' and
"bottom half" but between the "bri&amp;htest
,boys" and the "brightest girls."

However, in lOoking at parcms·
attitudes about their children's abi lities.
Parsons found not only mark ed
differences but also the strongest
influences. Pointing out that the srudcnts
had all demonstrated abilities in math.
parents consistently said their da ugh ters

well in it. Mothers said it was more
important for their sons than their
daughters to study math; fathers tend ed
not to differentiate. Both parents sa id it
was more important for their sons to
study trigonometry a nd calculus.
..There is a sex stereotypic belief

Setting up the computer program . for

Srihari's system involv_ed implanting
the equivalent of a dictionary in o&gt;ne of
U I B's computers, "32,000 words of
memory." Each word of memory requi"60 bits of Information as appU,~ to the

As explained by Srihari in computer
language, a ..trie structure" is used to
store the words. This involves, be further
explained, setting up "sequedces ofleuers
in certain paths" to the extent that the trie
structure "rePfe5Cnts aU possible letter

ra Brooks is stagestruck, has

been since he was in high school
in Rockland County. Not only
does he spend most of his free
time at U1B producing and directing
plays for the Student Theatre Association for Genuine Entertainment (STAGE),
but in summer back home, he's one ofthe
movers behind the Clarkstown Collegiate
Players, a group which offers college
talent someth ing to do when school's out.
Last summer, the Collegiate Players
staged "Lovers and Other Strangers" by
Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna. and
Taylor and Bologna showed upforoneof
the performances. Later there was a part y
. at the nearby home of producer Philip
D'Antoni ("Bullitt ," "The French
Connection") during which Brooks had
the chance to hold an Oscar in his hand .
"It had a chip in it," he reports - but
clearly there are no chmks in his
ambitions to hold one of his own
someday.
After U I B, where Brooks is majoring
in business, he intends to go to film
school - at NYU or UCLA- and then
into film production. When he entered
here three years ago, Brooks. now a
junior, wanted to be a filmmaker. He and
the local program in that field didn' gb
past re'el one, though, so he switched to
business. His involvement with STAGE
where he has either produced. directed
and / or organized one pla y a semester
since his freshman year opened his eyes to
the possibili ty of combining business and
drama. 1 hat 's the route taken by tormer
· student Barry Ort (who introd uced
Brooks to STAG E). Ort went on to be
associated with both Joseph Papp's
Sha.kespeare in the Park and impresario
Mike Nichols - on the business side.

Courses look at
health habits
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
nymore, Americans can almost
choose the way they want to die,
said Dr. Francis V. Hanavan,
chair of the Depanment of
Health Education Professions, in jest.
But he was seriou s as he talked about
the effects of behavior on the duration of
life. He referred to a November 2 Time
magazine anicle that included .a health
questionnaire titled "How Long Will You
Live? ... Some of the questions concerned
lifestyles: (Begin with age 72 . . . )
Do you smoke mOre than two packs a
day? (Subtract 8.) One to two packs?
(Subtract 6.) One-half to one? (Subtract
3.)
Do you drink the equivalent of I 112
ounces of liquor a day? (S ubt ract 1.)
Are you overweight by 50 pounds or
more? (Subtract 8.) By 30 to 50?
(Subtract 4.) By 10 to _ 30 pounds?
(Subtract 2.)
lf you exercise strenuously (tennis,
running, swimming, etc.) five times a
week for at least a half-hour, add 4. Two
or three times a week, add 2.
Do you sleep more than ten hours each
nigtW? (Subtract 4.)

Counes to identify poor habits
Hanavan's . department offers several
counes to help students identify poor
personal health habits and improve them.

This semester, about 230 students are
enrolled in the four undergraduate
courses - health behavior: identifica·
tion and improvement, HE 101 : drugs
and health, HE 201 ; stress and
relaxation, HE 205; and alcohol and
behavior, HE 301.
.. We help them examine their own
attitudes / beliefs, and change their own
behaviors,"' Hanavan said, adding, with a
grin, .. We're not talking about taking
students and drying them out."'
The alcohol and behavior course,
taught by Frederick B. Cooley, a clinical
psychologist in the School of Medicine.
includes laboratory time for students to
drink beer or wine, while campus police
watch, wait~g to test their ~lond levels
with a Breathalyzer. Before and after
attaining a .05 reading, students do
manual and mental dexterity exercises to
compare the effects of alcohol.
Hanavan emphasized all courses focus
on how habits affect health and how
people can alter those habits to maximize
their well-being.

A national trend
,
Self-care has become a national trend,
Hanavan said, advocated by the Reagan
administration. He referred to comments
made by the secretary of Health and
Human Services, Richard S. Schweiker.

Anderson awaiting decision on
mission to Mars for his water analyzer
Watet' is almost certain to exist
Three years later he and A.R. Tice published an analysis of water on Mars based
on the data from the VikinJ! landers. In
that paper, he wrote the rationale for
further analyses: "The fact that adsorbed
water at a thermodynamic activity near
unity at Martian temperatures . . . is
almost certain to exist in porous soil and
rock , combined with the possibility of
capillary, albeit highly saline, water,
raises the question of the posstb1e occurrence of life forms similar to the endolithic algal communities observed in the
ice--free antarctic dCserts."
Adding that the probability of finding
life-forms is not high, Anderson noted
that the data suggested "evidence of a
permafrost hydrosphere and of a rich and
·complex water chemistry yet to be understood on Mars-."
Because the results of the Viking experiments ·were so incomplete, A nderson
designed his own instrument which he
said is ...the only technique whereby water ·
can be measured by remote means and we
can be certain of the interpretation."
Anderson said that for the past year he
and a group of scientists have been
attempting to define low-cost planetary
missions to continue their previous work .
"We have defined a hard-landing
spacecraft that could penetrate the crust
of a planet to varying depths,'" he said .
"Among the instruments that would be
flown on that would be the soil water
analy_sis instrument."
Tested in tbe desert
This has alread y been mounted on a
prototype hard lander and tested in Kansas and the Mojave Desert, Anderson
noted, and has survived impacts of 20,000
G's (graviti s) ..still ticking." The instrument \andeFwas tested by being dropped
from an aircraft a·t 30.000 feet .
Once embedded in the crust of a planet,
the lander is programmed to open a little
sliding window to expose the instrument
to the rock face where it can sample the
humidity in the environment.
"The instrument could tell the difference betwee n solid rock, porous dry
material and ice or snow," Anderson
explained . "The ability to distinguish
between ice and rocky materials is important since these penetrators would be
going to different depths ...
· Jn addition to measuring soil water
content, the instrument could identify
minerals. also.
Data would be sent back to Earth by
telemetry, Anderson said, adding that
"these missions can be accomplished for a
fraction of the cost of a Viking or
Voyager mission."
Anderson's current NASA funding
actually provides for the "mothballing"
of his instrument until future missions arc
funded. but he feels it will not be long

before his instrument flies.
"Every innrument now is being reexamined in view of establishing a new
priority listing," he explained. "For my
instrument, it is a benefit because there
were no missions planned that would utilize it during the next five to 10 years."
Upheaval can spawn opportunity
Instead of criticizing current space mission cutbacks, Anderson said, "In many
ways, a circumstance like this is a time
when the most intense work in NASA is
done. People in times of upheaval are
constantly. trying tp seize opportunities
that changes in direction frequently
bring."
With his project 80 per cent complete.
A nderson is now preparing documentation which will mothball his instrument
until a mission is identified.
He will turn-his attention to anal yzing
orbiter and lander imagery of Mars and
other data on permafrost featu res and
processes for all planetary bodies for
which data is available. including pll
Vora ger and Pioneer data.
If a mission for the soil water instrument is identified , Anderson has waiting
to jo in him in the project a tea in of scientists that includes well-known researchers
Dr. F ra zie r Fa na le of the Un ive rsit y of
Hawaii. Dr. EVe rett Gibso n of the Luna r

Permafrost
Meanwhile. the scie nti sts are looking at
permafrost phenomen a o n va rio us
planets and a ttempt ing to ident ify terrestrial analogues. This work is a co ntinuation of Anderson's previous studie s. described in a 1973 paper he delive red at a

Bok Num Doh
is 1st female exchange
scholar _ fro~ Kyungpook
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
As an only child . Bok Num Doh kn ew she
wo uld ha ve to ma ke a career for herself so
she could eve ntually suppo rt her parents.
In her homeland of Korea , it is still
customa ry that the oldest son take
responsibilit y fo r his elders during their
later years.
Mrs. Doh turned t o hursing, one offew
professions in Korea open to women, a nd
built a reputation that recommended her
for selection as the first female scholar
from Kyungpook National University in
Korea to tra ve l to U 1B. The two
un ivers ities ha ve had an exchange
relati o nship for seve ra l yea rs.

'Most Korean
women stay home'
Wh ile at U/ B for the fall semester, 40year-old Mrs. Doh, wh o is pursuing a
doctorate in nursing science at Yonsei
Postgraduate School in Seoul City, is
involved with the School of Nursing's
graduate psychiatric mental health
nursing area. directed by Cathleen Getty.
Attending lectures and seminars on
campus, Mrs. Doh also participates in
clinics. At the Erie County Medical
Center. she has been placed with the
psychiatric nursing liaison team, headed
by Dr. Seung-Kyoon Park. one of several
Korean psychiatrists practicing in
Western New York.

She wanted to study group psychotherapy, activity therapy and family
therapy at U/ B soshecould return to the
university where she has taught
psychiatric nursing for the past 14 years
with knowledge that would help establish
a graduate program in psychiatric mental
health nursing.
Korea has 52 schools of nursing, she
mentioned, 14 of which are baccalaureate
programs.
Mrs. Doh left behind "in Korea her son,
10, her daughter, 7, and her husband , a
21-year-career colonel in the Korean Air
Force to live in a dormitory on the Main
Street Campus.
Her widowed mother, who now lives
with her in Taegu, and her housekeeper,
are taking care of the children while she is
studying here.
During the week, Mrs. Doh is in class
and clinic, but on the weekends, she has
tra veled to Toronto, Philadelphia and
Washington, D.C. to tour hospitals and
vi sit compatriots.' During ThanksgiVing
recess, she will fl y to Chicago to attend a
reunion of Ky ungpook National
University nursing graduates.
In Korea , she said , most women see
their role in life as wives and mothers.
Husbands, she said, do not want their
wives to have jobs outside the home, but
Jae Hak Kang, her husband of II years,
accepts her career.
Mrs. Doh said nursing is considered an
important job in Korea, but not a proper
one for women. Teaching, however, is
considered a propecjob, Mrs. Doh said,
in two or thfee fields .

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

Reagan Administration has
made a faint effort to fake a point
of view on human rights; it has
made no effort to implement a

Patricia Derian, assistant secretary of
State for human rights in the Caner
Administration and fofmer Mississippi
housewife, abandoned both the flowery
niceties of diplomatic phraseology and
the gentility of speech commonly associated with Southern womanhood as she

BY JOHN THURSTON
tate University's Trustees were
generous last week.
In addition to-providing Ul B
with a new president (Dr. Steven
B. Sample) and a Qew vice president for
academiC services (Roben J . Wagner),
the Board also requested a 1982i13
budget for the University.
·
As part of a SUNY-wide$1.140 billion
request, the Trustees approved a Buffalo
request of Sl35,984.'400,'an increase of
$16 million over fiscal '81-1!2'sS119.9million adjusted allocation.
Citing concern for "maintaining access
and protecting the existing investment,"
the Trustees' proposal adds 14.4. per cent
to the current SUNY operatmg budget.
The Buffalo increase is 13.4 per cent.
Ot the regucsted SUNY tot&amp;l; $995.8
million-would rome from Stau; approp·riations wllile self-gen~ratedJunds would
malic up the $215 miUion difference.
The university centers in Albany,
Binghamton and Stony Brook are in line
for allocations of$66.7, $43.2 and $170. 1
million respectively - all with percentage increases similar to Buffalo's.
While some of Buffalo's requested $16
million increase is aimed at growth and
improvement, a major porri!)n of the
increase covers obligatory and inflatjon·
ary increaseS.
According to a summary of the '82-1!3
UI B budget request, m_ajorincreases_ are
needed for salary adJustments, uuhty
costs and other contractual items in addi·
tion to a total of 68.50 new FTE
positions.

With in the past fi ve decades - from the

�November 5, 1981, Volume 13, No. 10

By ED NIEus
Professor Michael Thelwell was on campus, Wednesday, October 26, as the guest
of Cora P. tvfaloney College.
_
Thelwell, an instructor of Third World
literature at the University of Massachusetts, is theauthorofthe highlyacdaimed
novel, "The Harder They Come."
The novel, based on a movie of the
samt;: title, centers around the culture and
lives of working class Jamaicans, and has
been heralded as an irispirational breakthrough in Third World literature.
Throughout the day, Thelwell met with
students and spoke on the relationship of
literature to political struggle. Pa rticu-.
larly the role of the author and whether
he chooses to face o r ignore the co nflicts.
Thelwell defined the essential question for any Black w[iier. "" Who is your
audience?." He explained that, " Many
Black authors write about Blacks, but
direct it to White audiences:" this, he
claimed , is "imrUoral."

The kind of book he wanted
.. Relating these co mments to his own
novel, The! well explained," 'The Harde r•
They Come' was the kind of book ),
wa nted to write for a long time, but such a
book is hard to get published in the White
literary establishment. Publishers have a
biased perceptio n of who their readers
are. For them there is always a,.m rket for
deg~nerate writin gs about Blacks.
Attaeks on Black leadership, cult ure,
autonomy, these are the kind of things
white folks are read y to publish about
Blacks. Writings about the density a nd
heroic nature of Blacks or works that lash
out against oppression arc not considered
marketable."
For these reasons, Thelwell claimed
that had the movie not existed and
achieved such success, the novel wo uld
probably not have been written.
Thelwell emphasized the book was not
merely lin attempt to novelize the script
of the movie, but rather an attempt to
reverse the process and expand upon the
90 minutes of film . An attempt to capt ure
the perceptions of reality of common
J amaica ns. perceptions that would be
recognizable to them.
.. The Harder They Come .. is a Jamaican novel. "'This is not solely due to the
fact that the sto ry is set in J amaica,'"
ThelwcU explained. "To be a Jamaican
novel the writing has to be addressed to
Jamaicans. The terms of the book, the
meta phors, the sensibilities, th e voice
have to be Jamaican. The traditions of
speech, the way the story is to ld have to
be Jamaican. Usi ng Western references,
styling the work in an alien mode, the
writer is acting as a reporter not as a n
author."
Responsibilities of Black writ en
ThelweU described what he felt were the ·
principal responsibilities of Black writers. He considered it dangerous for a
Black author to rely fina ncially solely on
his writings. In this regard, " He will be at
the me&lt;ey of the Wh ite publishi ng industry and eventually have to patronize them
in order to survive."
Thelwell also claimed it is important
for any author to write only when he has
so mething to say ... There are times in the
world when the Only responsibility of a
writer is to be silent. "
Finally, he stated, "It is always important to remember that the many things
that unite Black people far outweigh the
aceidents of geography that d ivide them."
In the evening, Thelwell gave a formal
presentation to a group in 170 MFAC.
There he again discussed the background
of his novel and read three short passages
to the modest-sized audience. Following
his discussion, the original film version of
.. The Harder They Come" was shown.
Those who heard Thelwell seemed
impressed by his ideals and political
commentary; several individuals in
attendance approached · him for further
discussion at the evening's end . .. In aJI it
was a successful premiere for the Cora P.
Maloney College Guest Lecture Series,"
College spokespenons ev~uated.

3rd World has_to mobilize- Manley
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

ven whi le castigating the increase
of U.S. milita.ry aid to "one oft he
most evil and tyra-nnical regimes ..
of Latin America. a former
Jamaican prime minister exp re ssed his
belief that people in oppressed nati o ns
must take responsibility to overthrow
their oppressors.
Michael Manley , whose People's
ati onal Part y lost power in Jamaica last
year, presented his views on the balance
of power - and terror- in Latin Ame rican and Third World countries during a
press conference preced ing his speech in
the Fillmore Room last Tuesday and during a question-and-answer period after
his address.
Asked about the role of Fidel Castro in
fomenting revolution in Latin America,
Manley replied\ MA lot of people in the
U.S. are conditioned to a view of Cuba
that is not real. Castro would not be able
to foment a revol ution anywhere even if
he wanted to.
.. Revol\ltions happen by spontaneous
co mbustion, •• he co~tinued. ··somoza
made the Nicaraguan revolution incvitablc,just as the Salvadoran junta is making the Salvadoran revolution inevitable."

E

Not east-west confrontation
It is a mistake, Manley said, to view
eve nts in Latin-American and Third ·
World countries in terms of an ..cast-west
co nfrontation ...
.. Revolut ions make themselves out of
the sufferings of the people," he stated .
Later, when asked whether the U.S.
should use its influence to depose the current government of Haiti, frpm which
refugees are streaming, some to certain
death on the seas, Manley replied, "The
solutions to the problems of the Raitian
regime lie in the hands of the Haitian
people."
Even though he thinks the U.S. should
withdraw its eeonomic support of that
government, this country has no .moral
obligation to accept all Haitian immigrants, Manley said, noting that it was
not tbe answer bis questioner wanted or
ex peeled. He predicted a Haitian revolution before the end of the century.
• A• for iJIC!UAed U.$ . aid tp.EI Salvador, Maplcy said, "Militarists throl!ghout Latin America wera unanimous in
their applause," while decent people were
Msaddened and appalled. Tbe propping
up of thi• reaime has perpetuated some-

thing that is bad and undemocratic." he
added.
'Hidden persuaders'
Manley said one of the fac tors causing his
pany's defeat last year was an attempt to
protect Jamaicans froth America's .. hidden persuaders." The party had proposed
a cut-off of all im ports with the belief that
this would provide capital and jobs for
Jamaicans, who would then not .. waste"
valuable foreign currency on things like
fad toys.
''Mod er n com munications expose
people in Third World countries to the

In (]is pre pared remarks, Manley prese nted to a crowd of about 400 an overview of the Third World ~economy and
how it was developed, or underdevelo ped, by imperialist nations in the
18th, 19th and early 20t h centuries.
.. At least two-thirds of humanity
regards itself as being part of the Third
World," he said, .. and is increasingly
regarded by others as Third World. It is
significant to examine this label, which
does not mean a nything as simple as people being poor. o r black. "
Savage slavery and imperialist exploitation

Those who are part of the Third World
today were once a part of "the greatest
a nd most systematic process of imperial
conquest in history," Manley said, an
economic exploitation and domination ·
that created the "savage example" of
slavery.

most extravagant products of developed
countries and create expectations, .. he
explained ...This exens pressures in tb
economy, particularly by the midcfle
class, to live at a certain standard. It leads
to imponing. irreleVant ..nonsense using
foreign exchange that could be used for
essentials...
Attemptina to Mprotcct" his people
from tlrings like ·stereos and electronic
games was very unpopular, Manley
admitted. He confessed that be himoelf
tsPmcti~ succ:umbed and bouabt his
ehildren ~illy, battery-driven toys, but
added, "Tbe Third World must deal with
the problem pf how to insulate people
from the massive weight of these •&amp;idden
persuaders.' "

Noting that "those who say 'forget the
past' are very crafty," Manley deseribed a
"completely distorted and artificial pr&lt;&gt;cess of economic development" inflicted
on colonized nations by the imperial
powers. In the case of Jamaica, that artificial economy was based on sugar cane;
in Gliana, on cocoa beans. Both countries
were forced to produce only one basic
product, which was bought cheaply by
developed countries and exported for
processing. Any profit was made by
companies or developed nations. Meanwhile, the colonized nations were fonced
to import all their needs, even basic,
essential ones.
.
Manley said the pr&amp;ess works in the
favorofthedevelopedcountry.ln 1965,a
Jamaican could buy a tractor with the
currency produced from 20 tons of sugar;
in 1980, it took 41 tons. Meaowhile, the ·

nor did thepriceofsugargo up enough to
make up the difference.

The 'New Right'
seen threatening U/B
..

he New Right-wing in America,
' including ~ut not exclusively the
"Moral Majority" movement led
by Rev. Jerry Falwell, threatens
the viability of our Univer.;ity and OWly
other public universities which are
responsive to the public interest and
which would be center.; of critical
thought and intellectual integrity. It does
this in several waY.:
Fir.;t, the New Right has emerged
during the 1970's as a reaction to the
social changes wrought during the 1960's
decade, and universities like our own

T

stand in the public's eye as embodiments
of those "permissive" changes. Second.
the New Right's ideology of a return to
the ~ree market"" economy, ahistoricalas
it may be, will force the unive.. ity to
respond to the pressures of career choices
of our students, career.; dictated by the
job needs of their future employer.;~ the
grand corporations. Third, thC: New
Right has found its bogeyman in the
."'New Oass" of govemmenr workers, and
state university inteUectuals are viewed as
masking their self·interest behind
arguments for expanding rol es for
government in society.
J&gt;e..liberalization and tbe university.
Although II!Bny, including the authors of
this note, have criticized this university
· for its reluctan_ce to change, as being a
conservative institution in our eyes. this is
not the opinion shared by the people who
live in Western New Yorlr.. They see U1B
as having been transformed , after it
became a part of the SUNY system in the
1960's, away from what it was to th~ very
center of importation of the social
changes of the 1960's: afftrmative action,
student militancy, new left radicalism,
gay rights, coed dormitories, liberal
sexual attitudes, drugs. too many New
York City students. a loud assertive style
in place of the deference-of former times.
In the wake ofthe"Bakke" backlash to
affirmative action, which 'many people
view as ...discrimination in reverse" and
blame for their own failure to get a head in
the world, we are a natural target. And.
the more our institution bows to these
backlash pressures. as it has, the more it
legit!mates this critique of the New Right.
Meanwhile social change goes . on
apace: students set up gay organizations,
here and elsewhere at state universities,
and in Florida there is now a battle as the
State legislature has outlawed funds for
state universities unless gay groups are
rejected. A few year.; ago, a " Rights of

partial victory in California courts·
recently, only masks a broad attack on
critical thought in favor of instrumental
thinking: technical training in ihe service
of modern industry. The New Right has
won recruits among disgruntled ~ca­
demics who resent the revisionist
interpretations of American history and
society that emerged as a response to the
upheaval of Blacks, women, chicanes,
native Americans, and many others
during the 1960's. The traditi onal
unblemished reputation of our military,
our giant corporations, our nuclear

families, and other institutions were
subject to de vasta ting critique, and much
of this took place at universities, and has
been ... institutionaliud .. within academia
to some extent. In the context of our
communit y norms. th is insti tution is
outstandingly liberal, too liberal for
many of the New Right.
We can expect to be asked to return the
Air Force ROTC program that st ud en t
militants a nd the liberal fac ulty of 1970
eli minated . Defense con tracts, with the
Reaga n expansio n of the defense
depart ment budget and in the context of
a contracting eco nomy, will look mighty
appealing. and hard to resist. especially if
th ey a ppea r in the form of disinterested
research. The new move of the giant
corporations. as a t M.I.T., to pay for
science cen ters and the like. providing
they have so me control over the staffing
and policies, will also be hard to resist.
As capitalism falters. and as its critics.
socialist. Marxist or otherwise. are taken
more se riously. the broadening of this
critical work will collide with New Right
politics as they are represented in state
legislatures. The action of the University
of Maryland , recently. _in the case of
Bertrand Oltman is illustrative.
Corralling the Universit y
Many people are predicting a re-run of
the a nt i-commu nist witch hunts of the
1950's, as we once again enter an era of
co nservatism. But instead of a public
dema nd for the dis missal of a leftist
.professor. we might instead discover th at
the New Right ca n accomplish the same
result by providing the ideological basis
for a budget a ttack on public universit ies.
By attacking the .. permissiveness" and
libe~lism of these institu_tions, they
prov1de a cover for those an the state
legislature. anxious about state budget.
to make overall cuts in the university.
President ·Reagan, in dismissing the air
controller.;, decertifying the PATCO
union of government employees, has, in
effect. declared war on government
employees, if not the American labor
movement generally. The 1970's
witnessed a tremendous growth of
teacher/ faculty unions, including our
own U.U .P. at SUNY. As the cuts come
down. and when there are violations of
the union contract. as there no doubt will
be with tenured faculty dismissed for one
reason or another. there will be strikes:
illegal strikes for those of us working for
the government. After PATCO this
summer. it is clear what the dimensions of
the fight really are.

Some administratOR, iD defen"" ohhe

programs, hoping in this way to rnaintain
enrollments in the liberal arts, will find
themselves without students. who do not
see the value of such courses to their
future careers in business; and business
will make it more and more clea r how
irrelevant such studies are.
New Rightists have supported the
.. Vouc her" sys tem check s for
education that parents can spend at
public or private schools. thereby
depleting the funds going to public
schools - as a direct assault on public
schools a t · all levels, and pleasing those
opposed to school integration, or secular
education, at the same time. Here, a good
"libertaria n"idea, out of the 1960's and in
the 1980's. serves the right not the left.

Atlaclr. on the 'New Class': that's us.
Irving Kristol, in Two Che~rs for
Capitalism has enCouraged the New
Right to ta rget government employees as
a privileged class that has gained control
over the society, a sort of conspiracy

in the 1960's, who made so many cha nges
in the old University of Buffa lo.
With the revival of the Ku Klux Klan
and the Nazi parry, we are forewarned.

A Teach-in on the New Right .
Because we view the New Right, and the
Reagan Administration as threats to our
University, we ha ve o rga nized. along
with a number of other campus a nd offcampus gro ups, a teach-in, lasting a "
week. on this issue.
Alan Wolfe will be our keynote

forth between universities a nd government jobs with some power over policy.
But U/ B?
What this assault on the .. New Class"'
does. however, is to disarm those of us
designated as member.; of the New Class
from influence ove r public policy. Who.
among those acce pting the Kristol
critique, will believe fac ulty members a nd
journalists from the .. New Class"' who
argue for an expanding role of
government in society- not to mention
socialism - if these argume nts are seen
as merely a cover for protecting the selfinterest of members of our class?
There are echoes of the o ld a nti-se mitic
populism in this attack on the New Class
a frantic search for whoever it is that i~
responsible for the destruction of
tradition~ I values of religion. family a nd
commun1ty. In the absence of a socialist
movement which can focus attention on
the real agents of .. modernization .. - the
giant multinational corporations which
have no loyally to home and community
- our fellow citiuns may very well
fol!ow .the New Right in scapegoating

Thus 11 will be necessary, as it was in the
19SO's with the Communist Party

more powerful than we really are more
unifi~ and organized than we really are,
more Important than we really are.

By MICHAEL LAWRENCE BROW N

hirty-six years ago, the world
was witness to the ultimate weapon of destruction when the United States, then under the leadership of President Harry S. Truman,
dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in
an effort to end World War II. For the
first time in history, tens of thousands of
people could be kiUed with the mere push
of a button. Funhennore, the decision to
"drop the bombfl has had a significant
impact o.n the shape of world politics ever
since.
In today's world, the ·"nuclear clubfl
numbers many,,.and the U.S. and Soviet
·union continue to participate in an "arms
race. fl While there has been no repeat of
the Hiroshima and Nagasaki incidetits
since 1945, the threat of a nuclear war
today seems to be a valid COf!cern.

T

The Union of Concerned Scientists,
Physicians for Social Responsibility, an
organization set up .in 1945 and concerned with the inherent problems of
nuclear development, have prpclaimed
November II , 1981 , a day on which to
hold a Convocation on the Threat of
Nuclear War. U/B has joined 119 (to
date) other universities in responding to
this proclamation and will have a Nuclear
War Awareness Day on that date - significantly the Armistice Day of the First
World War. Spearheading U / B's
"awareness day" is Dr. Fred Snell, professor o.f biophysical sciences here and a
member of the Scientists Union.
They cared about the future
"The Union of Concerned Scientists was
originated by some faculty at MIT and
Harvard," says SneU. "They were mostly
concerned with the nuclear disposal
problems that would be left to future generations. But, recently, the Union has
decided to broaden its concerns and
members want to have a day set aside
each year to increase the public's awareness of nuclear proliferation."'
Snell explained, "I was contacted last
August by the Union about the awareness
day. and since th.en. the response from
other interested organizations here has

NoM'ak

been great. We are receiving help from
the Environmental Studies Center
(faculty and students), the WNY Peace
Cent r, undergraduate and grad uate st udents, and other concerned individuals in
the community."
On the agenda for U f B"s "Nu"clear War
Awareness Day" is a full complement of
media presentations, speakers and panel
discussions.
"Primarily, we are going to try to bring
to the public the status of development of
nuclear arms, to the point where people
will realize the real horrors that a nuclear
war will bring,"said Snell. "More impo rtantly, we want to alert everyone to the
fact th3t the new Reagan-Welnberger
administration has shifted to an emphasis
on building up the arms race.
Tapes for awaJ;eness
"To help illustrate nuclear war awareness." Snell added, "there will be two
tapes played throughout the da y. •• The
first tape is called "The 37th Summer of
the Bomb, .. written by Eric Barnauw of
Columbia University and produced by
WGBH-TV, Boston. The first halfofthis
tape. which is confiscated film taken by
the Japanese, shows real footage of the
destruction caused by the bomb at Hiroshima. This footage has recently been
released for public viewing by the U.S.
military, Snell explained . The second half

Fred

Sn~u

of this tape is a Japanese cartoon of the
bombing called "Pica Don." which is
Japanese for "Bright Bang."
The second tape to be shown is a film
produced by Admiral La Roche of the
Center for Defense lnformati·o n in
Washington. D.C. The film is called
"War Without Winners ... The' Center for
Defense Information is made up of exmilitary strategists who are not in agreement with the present defense posture of
the U.S. government. Snell said.
These tapes will be showr. in three locatio ns on November II: 'Wende 316 and
Clemens 4 from 9-5 p.m. and in Capen 25
from 10-5 p.m.
A full-length film is also on tap for
ca mpus viewing that da y, Snell said.
Called "Day after Trinit,y,"" it is the story
of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist
responsible for the building of the first
atomic bomb in the Manhattan Project.
The film deals with the backlash of
antagonism towards Oppenheimer aftef"
he spoke out against further development
of nuclear a rms.
.. Oppenheimer was immediately
deemed a 'red ' by the military and he was
practically strung up by his heels." Snell
said. This piece will be shown in the
Squire Conference Theatre back-to-back
at II and 12 and again at 4:30 p.m.
Also, at II a.m., there will be a panel
discussion in the Fillmore Room focus-

Too much in the news!
"We were also going to have a represents·
tive froiD the Department of Defense
(DOD) lo give the Reagan-Weinberger
posture but they backed out last week,"
Snell said. "They said they had over 100
requests to speak at other campuses so
they decided not to honor any of them.
"I think they suddenly found themselves in the news too much, especially
with the 300,000 demonstrators in
Europe recently. They have sent us some
information anyways and this will be discussed by the panel." Snell added.
Other programs set for the day include
a talk on the topic, "Is there an alternative
to nuclear war?." to be given by Lt. Col.
John Buchanan, a retired U.S. marine
from the Center for Defense Information, and another panel discussion on the
same theme. This second panel will
include Dr. Carmelo Privitera, bioloSY;
Dr. Thomas Potts, oral bioloSY, a
member of the Physicians for Social
Respo nsibility, and a member of the
WNY Peace Center. At about 3 p.m., Dr.
Charles V. Ebert will presenta slide show
entitled, "Nuclear War. The Ultimate
Disaster?" in the Squire Conference ·
Theatre.
·
The unthinkable
Bringing the on-ampus activities to an
end will be another slide presentation
called. " What if the unthinkable happened here?" This slide show will be given
by Walter Simpson of Rachel Carson
College. also in the Conference Theatre.
Snell was involved very early in his
career with nuclear awareness. spending
two years in Hiroshima from 1946-48. He
did medical studies on the survivors of
the blast and also helped start the dallj
base for the -"Atomic Bomb Casualty
Commission."

10 reasons for opposing Reagan weapons
EDITOR :
ecently Preside nt Ronald Reagan announced his administration's nuclear weapons program.
including plans to deploy new
·nuclear weapons systems such as the 8-1
bomber, the MX and Trident II missiles,
and an ABM (anti-ballistic missile) system. I would like to take this opportunity
to present my reasons for opposing this
program.
I. In general, President Reagan ·s
nuclear weapons program takes us in the
wrong direction. Instead of stopping and
reversing the dangerous arms race, the
Reagan plan speeds it up.
2. The Administration's program prepares the United States to fight a " lim1ted
nuclear war" even though scenarios for
such a war suppose a minimum of 10-20
million Americans dead , hardly an acceptable level of casualties. Moreover, there is
no evidence to indicate that nuclear war
could be kept limited to even that level of
deaths.
.
3. ln the nuclear age. our security is
founded on the conviction t.hat nuclear
war is "unthinkable." However, schemes
for fightins nuclear war and the belief
that nuclear war can be limited tend t&lt;1
make the actual use of nuclear weapons
more thinkable. This may make nuclear
war more likely.

R

The wladow Is dooed
4. Th~ alleged ~window of vulnerability"

that the President claims his program will
close is neither open nor on the verge of
opening. The argument concerning the
vulnerability of U.S. land-based missiles
is spurious because it ignores the fact that
most U.S. warheads are on submarinelaunched missiles. These are not threatened by SoViet missiles and constitute a
more than adequate deterrent to Soviet
attack.
5. Highly accurate warheads, like
those proposed for the MX and Trident
ll missiles, will pose a first strike threat to
.the majority of Soviet missiles (which are
land-based). Lessening Soviet confidence
in their deterrent decreases our security.
While the Russians are not likely to
attack first Under normal circumstances.
they might launch first in a time of crisis if
they thought a U.S. pre-emptive strike
was imminent.
6. The President's plan to buifd an
ABM system is impractical and dangerous. While providing little more than the
illusion of defense in the event of a
nuclear war, the ABM system envisioned
by Reapn would violate the 1972 ABM
t Treaty. This (reaty barred anti-ballistic
"defemes in order .t o provide stratepc stability. In tbe absence of ABM systems
each side can feel FOnfident in the effectiveness of its retaliatory force or deterrent. Such confidence is essential if
nuclear war is to be, avoided.
7.. By contibuins the process of
nuclear armament, tbe lleapn Admini-

stration is setting a bad example for other
countries. A burgeoning U.S. nuclear
arsenal. like· our refusal to sign the relatively innocuous SALT II treaty. handicaps U.S. attempts to stop the spread of
nuclear weapons to Third World nations
like Pakistan. Iraq. Brazil and Argentina.
(With regard to proliferation. it is worth
noting that Reagan is loosening restrictions on U.S. nuclear exports and has
discontinued the ban on reprocessing
domestic commercial spent-fuel. Both
these measures were designed to slow the
proliferation of nuclear weapons.) ·

8. The President's plan will result in the
unnecessary expenchture of tens of billioDI of dollan. It will rob fullds from
important non-military prosrams (such
as those dcsiped to help students or prcr.
teet our environment); produce leu JObs
than sovernmcnt speodllll on alternative
propms; further puniab the economically ailins Nonbeut (wbiclr rccei"""
very little ·Of the inililaey money); fuel
inOation by makiq it diff"JCult to balance
the budset and impouible to reduce the

plan~

deficit; and, in general, continue the destructive process of diverting ~u~n.
technological, and material resources
away from the civilian sector of our
ec·o nomy.
9. Despite assurances to the c;ontrary,
the President's plan reflects his ac.tmini·
stration 's disinterest in meaningful arms
control and disarmament negotiations.
The U.S. doesn't need a huge arms build
up in order to effectively bargain bilateral arms reductions. Moreover, his·
tory shows that the weapons politicians
call "bargaining chips" are rarely bargained away.
10. The Reagan Adminiotration's
nuclear arms build up will result in similar escalatione._b~ the Soviet Union. In
this upward spiral of mutual insanity,
neither side will gain anything, and both
sides will waste resources and lose
security.
Havins exp~ "these ideas, let me
add that I hope other mcmben of the
Univenity community will come to shan
my concern about the direction President
Reapn is taltiq us in. Hundreds of
thoUMnds of Europeana are now in the
streets protestina pt:eparations for
nuclear war. Can we learn from them?
Can we join them in insittins that life be
preoerved'l

Brown Lung series led. to Pulitzer award
EDITOR'S NOTE: Thi1 article is· a
behind-the-scenes look at how the
Char/oue Observer won the 1981 Pulitzer
Gold Medalfor it&gt;.erie.'' Brown Lung: A
Cau of Deadly Neglect. ·· In an addre.J
entitled "An01omy of a Pulitztr, "
Obsen,er associate editor Ed Williams
told the JtOrJl at the Annual Meeting of
Women In Communications, Inc.

.
T

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
here's an invisible, insidious
killer lurking i~ the textile mills
in the Carolinas. What it does is
choke the life out of its victims in
diabolical fashion, slowly sapping brea th
and strength until one day there's no
breath to take.
That lr.iller is still at large, but
fortunately, thanks to the Charlotte
Oburver, it's been rendered less
· dangero\1$, tbough still viot...,tly potent
·
when it strikes.
According to Obierver editor Ed
Williams, some 150,000 workers in the
Carolinas regularly breathe cotton dust
their jobs in textile mills which
produce sheets, towels and other
' household and apparel items for
American families. In North Carolina
alone, approximately Hi,OOO members of
that work fo rce inhale microscopic dus t
fibers at dangerously high levels - levels
which some physicians predict will
eventually kill them. If employees happen
to be susceptible to the cotton particles.
chances are they will develop Byssinosis
or Brown Lung Disease.
Most mills weren' t inspected
When the Ob.erver started its eigh t-day
series on Brown Lung, Williams said,
most Carolina mills were not inspectedJo
see if they met regulations governing
cotton dust emissions ... No one chronic
violator had e~r been shut down and
ftDCS imposed wen: so low. it was
ludicrous, ... he lamented. Violators were,
in fact, treated so "gingerly" by State
· agencies that, Williams said. the sit uation
.. promoted contempt ...
How the Observer got wind of the story
was through the efforts of a " bulldog
rep&lt;?rter~ named Howard Covingto~ . the
grandson of a mill owner who covered the
State capitol for the paper. In mid-1978.
Covington urged his editors to
investigate what had come to be known

as "Monda y Morning Syndrome," a
coughing a nd wheezing condition
particularly evidenced when textile
employees returned to work after the
weekend. At the tim·e, howeve r, Willia ms
said the Obsuver was in the midst of
a nother investigati ve project. so the
reporte r was told to put his idea on hold .
Meanwhile, hearings on dust emission
standards in \Vashington promj)ted the
Columbia Journalism Revie w to issue a
stinging rebuke of the area press for
fai ling to adequately cover 1h e
occupational di sease. Williams said he
made cop~ of the a rticle a nd sent one to
each editor at the Ob.erver. Wh ile 1he
' group disagreed with particulars Or the
Review piece, its thrust, the editors
conceded, was correct. Shortly thereafter, two investigative reporters Covington ana Maureen Ellis - were
sent to Raleigh and some mill towns for a
few weeks to see what they could
uncover.

'Not one fact
was ever refuted, '
Charlotte editor
tells communicators
Concealed report uncovered
The reporters returned with "i'ascinating information, .. Williams relayed. But
what made the Obsl'rvu real ize it had a
major sto ry was the discovery of a
concealed State report which indicated
that as ma ny as 10,000 workers were
likely working in potentially lethal
conditions. Also, through so urces
cultivated in agencies which regulate mill
emissions, Covington was able to
confirm that Brown Lung was indeed a
serious problem among mill workers, but
one largely ignored by the very age ncies
supposed to monitor the situatio n.
The next "'crucial step.. for the
Obs~rver was
involving departmen t
heads in t)le decision-maki ng process.
That step was critical. ex plained
Williams, because to make the project
work, some departments had to give up
column space, others had to surrender
manpower, and still others had to tighten

budgets. Unanimous support for the
undertaking was achieved.
A sense of urgency
Because the Observer now felt a ''sense of
urgency," th e paper assigned six
reporters to the series. four more tha n
usually considered wise. A limit of two
reporters per story was se t, however. The
pa per also tried to limit lbe number of
editors assigned . So many editors
eventually became involved, though , that
newsroom personnel pla yfully referred to
the process as the "gang bang"approach.
Copy was initially given to the special
projects editor, then funneled to the
metro editor, the managing editor, and
lastly. the editor. The publisher and the
paper's attorney were aJso given copies for informational purposes only.

In addition, io check for redundancy
a nd possi ble e rro rs. copy was read by two
copy editors, then divided and finally
issued to a total of se ven copy edito rs for
another going over.
The Observer worked six months on
th e 44,000-word, eight-d ay series. Each
day of the series, Williams said , th e paper
published a "hard-hitti " editorial to
accompany th e s ri es.
·
ia ls
summarized the p · ts presented in t
sto ries and .. presen ed credit and blame ..
where due .
In the paper's promotion of the se ries.
Williams said. all "hype " was removed.
.. The facts were strong enough," he
asserted . The Observer th Ought promotion was so importa nt, though. Williams
admitted, that an outside agency, not its
own promotion department. handled it.
Not one fact successfully challenged
With an obvious gush of pride , Williams
sa id " no one has successfully challe nged
one fact in the sto ry." lf he could change
One.aspect. howe ver . ~ would extend the
series one da y to inClude coverage of
Caroli na mills whic h had been abiding by
emissio n standards an d opera t ing
employee protection programs. The
paper, he revealed , took some flak for not
including this side of the controversy.
After the· series appeared. Williams
sa id , the North Carolina Labo r
CQmmission was given Sl50,000 by lhe
State legislature to hire II people to beef
up the inspection staff that checks dust

levels. The sa me amount was also
earmarked for three deputies to facilitate
workman 's compensation hearings .
Willia ms credited ..editorial hara nguing··
wit h being the force which pers uaded the
governor to make Workman 's Campen·
sa ti on Comm ission reco rd s accessib le to
th e public. They had been kept off limits
si nce the Commission was fo und ed in th e
early 1930s.
By the end of 1980. Willia ms said.
North Ca rolina te xtile workers had
received a reco rd sum in workman 's
co mpensa tio n. more than the tota l of the
previo us nine yea rs. Prior to the series.
ove r 18,000 workers had been found to be
disa bled by Brown Lung. but ind ustrial
commissions granted compensation
funds to OQi y 320 of them. MoSI charities,
labor groups and unio ns a lso ignored
victims. The United Way, Williams said ,
turned down all requests for funds
supporting the Brown Lung Associa tion,
an activist group wh ich lob bied on behalf
of workers.
Other fallou t from the series
After the series was published . Willia ms
said . tighter enforcement of standa rd s
was evidenced by fines . levied on mills
which refused to surre nder medical
records of em ployees. Before, the
server edi tor noted , some area textile
mil s
not only not told their
em ployees they were suffe ring from
Brown Lung, but had actually kept the
sickest employees work ing in parts of the
mi ll where emission levels were highest.
The series a lso affected the medical
com munit y, who previously displayed
reluctance to diagnose Brown Lung or
associa te the malady with cott on dust.
Now, Williams remarked , Carolina
doctors have a better developed set of
c riteria on which to base medical
fi ndings.
The Observer suffered .. no fallout ··
from its se ries. exce pt for a ngry
co mments from so me mill owners.
William read a letter to the edito r from
one owner who called the mill workers
"cry babies," then proceeded to remind
them that if it wasn \ for the mills which
"fed a nd clothed " their families, the
South would still be "groveling in the
ashes of the Civil War.~ A letter like that ,
suggested Williams, is what made a ll the
D
hassles and effort worthwhile.

has to mobilize

front these economic realities, Manley
said, problems that include structural
dependence. capital starvation, technological deficiencies and, ~the most terrible legacy," a lingering psychology of
dependence.
But even while enumerating the problems of the Third World, Manley pointed
out that "the First World dbesn' seem to
be doing so well." He pointed out the high
unemployment levels in the U.S., Britain
and Europe. The Third World, he said,
does not want to enrich itself at the
expense of developed countries, but to
co rrect "structural injustices .. w6ich help .
the rich get richer at the expense of poor
nations.
.. Muhinational corporations must be
brought under some measure of accounta bility and political control," he said.
"They have created a supereconomic
structure totally out of control of political systems. They are accountable to no
one, and have but one duty: to produce a
quarterly dividend for shareholders."
This is often done by " playi ng havoc
with countries, ... Manley said , si nce the
multinationals are " totaJly insensitive to
what's happening in these countries.
They a re an economic Frankenstein
monster....
The Reagan/Thatcher view
Even political systems will not move
against entrenched economic systems.
Manley said,. pointing out the example of
South Africa where the"leprosy" ofa part-

heid is allowed to cont inue.
· It is in the developed nations' selfinterest to help the Third World through
a new form of the Marshall Pla n. Manley
said , and not through th e curre nt .. Reagan / Thatcher .. view which posits that a
greater m4)~tne nt of pri vate investment
capital into poor nations will solve their
problems ..
The problems with this view are twofold, Manley noted. First, the Reaga n/Thatcher economic policies do not seem
to be helping even the developed U.S. and
England solve their economic problems.
Second, th e question remains of reco nciling the " theology of the free enterprise
system with a social responsibility ...
.. As rich countries attai n more growth
and more technology. they a re fi nding it
harder to put their peo ple to work." he
said , "and yet they are telling the Third
World to duplicat.e that methodology.
That is nonsense ...
The Third World cannot depend
totally on foreign capital to solve its problems, Manley said, but must become .. collectively self-reliant'' by creating regional
economic development. The countries of
the world - developed and undeveloped
- should work togethe r and .. take a
qUantum leap in internatio nal social
management" to solve the problems of
the world's people, two-thirds of whom
face a crisis of poverty and hunger.
Manley said his People's Party is starting a systematic education program in
Jamaica to inform the people how to
work their way out of hunger.
.. When you're not in power you have
time to th ink ," he commented. then
smiled and said ... Politicians have a
way of working themselves back intO'

Mother -Teresa gives love, but
students want US to offer billions
She pulls children off garbage heaps
where their parents have left them to dte.
And she works lovingly with lepers, the
" ultimate outcasts." She places thousands of children with adoptive parents
annually, and - where hope is lost - she
comforts the dying.
She is Mother Teresa, 79-year-old
Albanian-born nun and winner of the
1979 Nobel Peace Prize. In a recent
International Center lecture held here,
UI B foreign and native students discussed this shining example of altruism.
They · also widened the discussion to
include a possible "new world economic
order, .. the recent Cancun, Mexico,
summit and Mother Teresa's example of
..giving until it hurts."
After viewins a film on Mother Teresa's worlr, amons the ravaged masses of
Calcutta and.other Indian cities, students
noted that 145 developinscountries have
3.4 billion people; they constitute 75 per
cent of the world's population, but share
only 20 per cent of the world's wealth.
lnternattooal Center Director Dr. Genevieve James wondered if the U.S. is doins
enough, poiftlins out that the "mutual ·
dependence between the U.S. and the
Third World .~ is self evident. She stated,

however, that the United States $7billion in foreign aid "is twice that of any
other nation ...
But students at the October 27 lecture
were unmoved by this statistic. One
young man from Nigeria noted that $7
billion is still a relatively small part of the
U.S. GNP. Ahnost all the attendees
advocated some form of new economic
order, pointing out that the northern
hemisphere control of prices and production creates virtually insurmountable
problems for Third World countries. As
one African minister told a N~wsweek
reporter, "If your main export is a hag of
coffee and it costs SIO today, $20 tomorrow and maybe SS the day after, how can ·
you set econo mic goals and priorities for
your country?"
Those auendinsthe International Center lecture specifically favored a reordering o( the post-war economic system, now Iarsety contrplled by the U.S . .·
th"rousb the World Bank, the International Monetary Pund and the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
The International Center has announced a second l"'ure series on 1

" T h e Board of Regents no lo nger
merely looks at higher education
_ but is deeply involved in and
has a positive effect on higher
education in New York State," Willard
Genrich, chancellor of the Board of
Regents, told an audience of about SO
higher educators Friday. Genrich spoke
at a break fa st seminar sponsored by the
Department of Higher Education at
Niagara University's DeVeaux campus.
Genrich made the remark as part of a
wide-ranging speech which desc ribed t he
role of the Regents and the board's future
goals in higher education in this State. He
pointed out that, as the oldest educational bod y in the country, the Regents
will soon celebrate their 200th-year
anniversary.
As a la y board, the Regents are responsible for developing the overa ll educational policy of the state, in both its public and private sectors. from pre-kinder- '
ga rten to postgrad uate progra ms. Their
licensing a nd disciplinary functions pertain to all professions, including libraries
and museums - exce pt law.
The great advantage to this di ffic ult
job. Genrich said, is the Regents' po wer
and ability to coordinate all the educational resources of the state and make
them .. cost-effective."
"It's importa nt to have ' such an
umbrella power, particularly between
post-secondary and secondary education," Genrich said.
Remedial education
Noting that a great deal of the state's
reso urces are going toward remedial education. Genrich said that during the
"Save CUNY" effort of a few years ago he
was ..amazed"' to learn of the millio ns of
dollars that CUNY was diverti ng from
higher educa tion to re medial high sc hool
programs. He added that he later found
this trend was true thro ughout the state.
To co unter th is. he added, the Rege nts
began a Regents Compensatory Testing
Program which .. sets the highest standards in the co untry for a high sc hool
diploma and provides for early identification of lear ning problems ...
This program not only demands that
remedia l work be provided to children
starting in the third grade. but a lso ma kes
-:id minis trators an d teachers more
"accou ntable," Genrich said.
Genrich noted that the Regents
recently revised regulations to prohibit
college degree credit being given for high
school remedial work, a practice w)lich,
though widely used , "jeopardized the
integrity of a college degree in New York .
State."
"The Regents mean business... he
declared.
Projeded enrollment dedines
and the SUNY suit
To counteract the effects of projected
declines in enrollment, Genrich said the
Regents have initiated and supported
programs designed to keep enrollments
from going down drastically, efforts like
TAP funds, student asJistantships, programs to decrease the high school dropout rate, adult education, inservice training and a higher education tuition tax
credit.
"We should take advantage of the projected decline to use our resources to meet
the needs of a rapidly chansins society,"
he said.
Genrich mentioned a recent SUNY
challenge to the Regents power to resister
programs which was taken as far as the
Court of Appeals, which upheld the
Regents' power.
"I feel great regret that SUNY took this
-case to court," Genrich said. "I hope that
we can settle differences among ourselves
rath!&lt;'" than in the courts."
Genrich said that the Regents recently
concluded a study which reviewed all

doctoral programs in the state. Conducted by out-of-state experts, the review
" resulted in significant imp rovements in
many programs," he said. "Many schools ·
dropped and discontinued doctoral progra ms and shifted th eir resources to more
worthwhile efforts."
Off-campus programs
Regarding off-&lt;::ampus instruction programs, which are being adopted by many
schools to increase enrollments, Genrich
said, "The Regents stro ngl y encourage
greater access to tiigher education for all
citizens, but are aware of the potential for
abuse." He noted that before 1980 there
were no regulations pertaining to extensio n services and that, after a study of
such programs in Westchester County
revealed many deficiencies, the Regents
ado pted a new set of regulations for offca mpus activities.
An immediate concern for higher educators is the changing policy of the federal government, G~nrich said. He stated
that many persons now strongly
denouncing proposed federal cutbacks
are the same who formerly complained of
too much red tape.
" We sho uld be building bridges for our
children. not leaving them our debts," he
said . ··we must return to a work-oriented
society to balance the budget. "
While Genrich did not criticize the cutbacks. he said , "We should show that
education is the best investm_ent, ... and
also that education should be made more
"cost-effective ...
The Regents are attempting to meet the
fu tu re need for more trained engineers
and scientists. Genric h said; one way they
a re trying to do so is through the approval of a Ph . D. in a pplied science program
at New York Uni versity. He noted that
the approval was given destJite protests
from the heads of all engineering schools
in the state.
Religious holidays and student loans
During a question-and-answer period
afte r the lecture, Genrich said that local
school districts should have the option of
maki ng Yom Kippur a nd Rosh
Hashanah legal pubhc sc hool holidays.
Asked whether the Regents will protect
programs in the humanities during periods when demand is focused on the applied sciences, Genrich said, "I don'
believe the Regents should prescribe
exactly what an institution should offer.
We can inspire an atmosphere to encourage people to enter such programs. I
don' feel they are endangered. I believe
they are so basic that they will always
exist. ..
Giving his reaction to a Reagan administration attack on the federal student
loan program, Genrich pointed out that
he had been part of a committee that
began the program in New York State, on
which the federal program is based. .
"The present administration should be
credited with stoppinsthe great abuse of
the program," Genrich said, alludins. t l
persons who borrowed the low:interest
money only to deposit it in high-interestbearing accounts. "I don' feel there is an
immediate danser that the prosnim will
be entirely abolished. It is too strong. If
the abuses are eliminated, it will survive ...
However, he added, "If that sad day
ever should come, New York State is in as
good a po1ition as any state to step into it.
I believe the legislature will support it .
The federal student loan program is an
example of how a sood program can be
destroyed by abuse and had administration."'

U /B researchers seek 150 teeth-grinders
Dental researchers here are seeking 150
people wh o brux or destructively .
insidiously grind their teeth at night, in
order to eval uate a new treat ment which ·
could help break them of the habit.
Bruxism, the side·to-side grinding of
teeth surfaces, panicu\ar\y in one's sleeP.
contributes to tooth wear and may
exacerbate existing ~riodontal di sease. ,
Although causes for bruxism have not
been pinpointed, some researchers
suggest it is an attempt to unconsciously
..correct"' uneven bite. Others suggest it is
a hab it which arises from stress or
anxiety. While bru Xism is a fairly
common oral problem, the ha bit has been
linked to 80 per cent of those who have
the more rare temporomandibular joint
(jaw) pain.
..Bruxism can be mild or severe, with
the severe bruxers grinding their teeth an
average of 100 seconds per hour of sleep;
the less severe ones grind some 40 seco nds
of each sleeping hour," Drs. Charles
Widmer a nd Elliot Gale of the School of
Dentistry. said. The severe bru xers' habit
_ca n lead them )a slowly destroy ena mel

on tooth surfaces, working duwn to the
dentin which can lead to sensitivity as
·
well as pulp exposure and pain.
"Grinding the teeth a few seconds each
sleeping hour may not appear to be
harmful," Dr. Widmer commented, .. but
bruxing even this shan time night afier
night, year after year. can have serious
implications in terms of dental disease ....
In the upcoming study, selected
bruxers will wear a ·piece of composi te
resin plastic material cemented behind
their two upper canine teeth for six to
eight weeks. The device, Dr. Widmer
noted , is not noticeable to th e wearer and
does not in terfere with eating or talking
as do some splint devices which are worn
only at night to prevent bruxing.
At night, · the patients will tape a
painless transducer connected to a silent
recording device to the jaw muscle which
allows frequency and duration ofbruxing
during sleep to be recorded.
Patients will wear the device to bed two
weeks before the resin is applied to
establish their bruxing patterns for later
comparison after completing t.he study.

They will be tested two weeks after the
resin is removed' to determine whether
they have resumed bruxing.
Widmer and Gale say the resin,
unobstrusively placed on the key ca nines;
will prevent the molars from being in
contact when the gri nding is a ttempted
but will not otherwise affec t the patient's
normal bite.
Those sought for the study, which
begins next week, are bruxers whose
habit has not yet led to tooth pain or jaw
pain. Patients must be over 18. Those
interested in participa ting should call

Health care system fac~s dollar dilemma
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
ccause President Reagan be·
lieves national security is the first
responsibility of government,
Americans will suffer ill health
the executive director of the New York
State Health Planning Commission told
the 70 people gathered at the Sheraton
Inn-Buffalo East a week ago Tuesday for
a conference on the dollar dilemma in
health care.
"As children, we all learned the words·
'to establish justice . .. and promote the
general welfare . ~ .' and I do not
remember bearing there the words
'national defense; "said Dr. James J.
McCormack, paraphrasing parts of the
Constitution of the United States. He
criticized the federal government's policy
of crippling the health care delivery system by consolidating 40 health and
human services programs into four block
grants (maternal and child health; alCohol, drug abuse and Il)ental health; health ·
and preventive services; and primary
health care services) and one categorical
program and then cutting the budget by
25 per cent.
The health care crisis was recognized
and dealt with in New York Stale&lt;l uring
the mid,I970s, McCormack said, but
with measures to protect the vulnerable
and the needy.
-

B

Herbert Hoover
He referred to Herbert Hoover's words
abo ut the reflection of a government
being seen in the way it treats citizens in
the dawn of life - the children; the twilight of life - the aged; and the shadows
of life - the sick and the handicapped.
''I know the administration wants to
ba lance the budget," McCormack said,
"but the Reagan / Stockman program will
ha ve a deleterious effect on American
life." He addtid that the vulnerable and
the needy will be the most seriously

affected.
By the end of fiscal '82, McCormack
said, New York will have lost at least 200
million federal health care dollar.;. And
considering the Empire State is one of
few that respected ..cost containment .. by
reducing its own health care budget,
McCormack said, the federal economic
recovery plan that has turned its back on
the philosophy of the past ,40 yeaTS will
hurt New York more than mhcr states.
Battle looms In Albany
Because Governor Hugh Carey has
vowed not to raise taxes to compensate
for lost fedeial monies, the state will h.ave
to make do with limited resources for its
health care programs, McCormack said.
McCormack. who holds a social welfare planning doctorate from Brandeis,
said that becaUse the state legislature will
now div ide and dispense federal monies,
lobbyists who once descended upon
Washington, D.C. . will now hover
around Albany.
The legislator.;, he said, will decide who
gets hurt by the cutbacks and who gets
protected .
Policy will, however, reflect not only
the demands of the lobbyists, but also.the
opinions of the public. McCormack said .
In early October, statewide public hearings were held to help establish the priorities of the people.
"The key to the future, " McCormack
said, ..lies in the dialogue between you
and your elected representatives. Make
your voices heard in Albany ...
A throwback to Social Darwinism
Commenting on McCormack:s speec h
was a four-member panel, whose moderator, Dr. Arthur Goshin, president of
Health Care Plan of Buffalo, labelled
Reagan's health care policy a throwback
to $ocial Darwini~ m.
Dr. Brian McBnde, executive director
of the Health Systems Agency of Western

ch~nges

President Reagan signed into law on
August 13, "The Postsecondary Student
Assistance Amendments of 1981 ," which
have dictated changes in the Guaranteed
Student Loan Program.
The campus Office of Financial Aid
provided the following information on
some of the changes:
A student now wishing to apply for a
guara nteed student (in New York State, a
Higher Education Services Corporation)

New York, agreed with the keynote
speaker that the Republican policy is a
fundamental change from that. honored
since the 1930s.
Believing the danger lies. in lobbies
becoming selfish, McBride urged the
formation of coalitions.
"The block grants. when operational,
will place health care provider.; in compe.tition," he said, adding they have never
had to vie for the same dollar. He mentioned two coalitions which have already
formed: CHEC, the Coalition for Health
in Erie County, and SENSES, Statewide
Emergency Network for Social and Economic SecuritY.
Because of the three billion dollar cut
in the 1982-84 federal budget. health professionals must also seek out philan\ hropists, union leaders and corporate executives for financial support, McBride said .
Nursing should ally with consumer.;
Dr. Bopnie Bullough. dean of U/ B's
School of Nursing. agreed with McBride
about coalitions, announcing nursing
should align itself with consumer groups.
· Pointing out that nursing has lobbied
in the past, persuading former presidents
Nixon and Carter to funnel funds into
nursing schools, Bullough said, .. It's in
our own self-int rest to lobby for better
health services."
Health care professionals in Canada
and Britain lost their battle with government by not joining forces and by not
appealing to their co nstituents before
they approached their legislators. said
Dr. Martin Wingate. director of U I B's
Contiorwing Medical Education program.
"Health care has a priority in the social
systems." said the physician who has
worked within both British and Canadian health care delivery systems. He
admitted though that he believes health

Previously. full-time undergraduate

students, who lacked o~her forms of
financial aid, were able to receive up to

school year (SI2,500/ SI5,000 total for
undergraduate) reg~rdless "Of personal or

the student is deurmined to be ine/l'gible.
When the adjusted gross (taxable)
income is under $30,000 the studenCs
eligibility for loan money is dependent
only on the estimated cost of attendance
and the actual or estimated amounts of
·the student's other financial aids.
These same need1est re(!ulations apply
to graduate student apphcants. Eligible
graduate students can receive up to
$5,000 in loan money per year for fulltime study, to an aggregate of$25,000 for
all und.ergraduate and graduate study.
For students who borrowed before
January I , 1981, the interest rate on aU
NYSHESC loans is 7%. For first time
borrower.; after January I, the interest
rate is 9% on loai)S. Repayment begins
nine months after dropping to less-than
half-time status {or 7% borrowers, or six
months for 9% borrower.;.
One significant change which came out
of this legislation. was the charge of an
origination fee of 5% off the total amount
.Df a loan. ThU; surcharge goes to the
federalsovernment and is used to reduce
federal interest and special allowance
costs paid to lending institutions.

lobbies.
"The challenge," Wingate said, "is to
utilize what is available in the way of
economic support for health care. There
is not a bottomless pit of monies any
more.
.. Money is wasted because we have to
guard against malpractice; because of
unnecessary tests; because consumers do
not agree with what we tell them and do
not do what we tell them to do," Wingate
said.
"And." he went on - joking that he
hoped the pharmac;eutical people were
locked outside the conference room ..money is ill spent on healing disease. but
not spent on public health measures."
Physicians and the state draw fire
Dr. Louanne Kennedy, an associate professor in the department of health care
administration at Baruch College and
Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York
City. and a representative of Health /
PAC (a non-profit public interest grCJU p),
submitted that housing, sanitation and
higher incomes have helped improve .
American health more than medical care.
She also vehemently denounced physicians as dominating the health care
system.
She then attacked methods New York
Staie used to reduce its own health care
budget, saying the state used "cost containment .. to close hospitals that served
Medicaid patients.
Kennedy warned the audience also
against private hospital management,
explaining they employ nurses on a per
diem basis, place physicians on salary
and cut cost-ineffective services.
"We all know that most of the health
care dollar goes to the hospitals." she
said.
The"il\-day conference was sponsored
by Uy.B.'S Continuing Nurse Education,
the NurSe Practitioner Association of
Western New York, and U/ B's Continuing Medical Education unit.

Downunder on the outback : Well, says
Mr. Rube, boomerangs aren' just for

grown into a world-class competitive
sport, and Barnaby Rube, here at UI 8

to the nearly 100 people who crowded
into Bethune Hall on Main Street for

Rube believes the boomerang is unique in
that it is a sculpture which hones itself,
not only accord ing to the aesthetic tastes
of the artist, but to meet a demanding set
of performance standards governed by

"but beyond tbat the parallels oease
quickly, J*cause the boomerang is
extraordinarily complex in its flight
patterns, in the way you throw it, in the
kind of adjustments you can and .&lt;fo
make, and in the benefits you get. The
complexities of flight are enormously
thrilling.
Different boomeranp have different
beauties
.. For competition reasons, different
boomerangs have different beauties. One,
reaches out a long way; turns quickly,
comes back and hops in my lap like a
Labrador retriever. Another one screams
out like an eagle, climbing higher and
higher, like on a thermal where a falcon
or a hawk will swoop around going

air, and it11 go up and up and it11 stop

one spins around 'woooooshhh' as fast as
you can think, like a humminl!bird. And
m each of these cases the thnll is there
when I catch them in my band."
If the actual OXJ?OrieDCe of mastering a
boomerang is as vovid as his descriptions,
lhen one can easily understand why Rube
calls it "the metaphysical potato chip."
Onoe you've thrown a boomerana

successfully, he wanu, "you tend to want
to throw it a couple thousand times in a
row. ~nd anything you do two thowiand
times in a row is going to get
mtditational."
Rube may sound like he pretty much
has this boomerang thing well in hand,
but he's quick to point out that, as either
an art form or a sport, boomeranging is
just as vulnerable to overconfidence as
any other endeavor and just as
unpredictable.'
Critical aerodynamic: prlndples
"All . the seven or so ·aerodynamic
principles that are most critical · to the
boomerang, which is really only two
_airplane wings joined and in low speed ·
spin, are in the middle range. It's in the
middle range of Bemuli's Law ... of
Moment of Inertia. You can' compute
them with fmality. In other words, you
have a snowflake principle ..... no two

making them for 20years have thrown up
their hands and don' know why there are
great boomerangs and dumb ones."
Rube and his nine USA Boomerang
Team teammates will arrive in Australia,
the boomerang's motherland , if you will,
huer this month to take part in an
international competition. If there is an
answer to the 14.000-ycar-oldmystery of

�City Walls: Color
Photographs by
Tom Haar
Many photographic purists· are
skeptical about color photography. They
find it commercial or crude. ~ and far
behind bl ack ~and-white in its esthetic

development.

However. the color

photography of Tom Haar, which will be :
on display in Capen Gallery from December 1 through 17. is a far cry from
"commercial"' and " crude." Its muted
colors are subtle and palnterlv in their
effect, adding · an extra dimension to
Haar's work.
The title of. the show is " City Walls,"
but, wh ile Haar's photog'r aphs are of the
walls of the parking lots, construction
sites. and buildings of New York where
he lives, they ·are not a documentation of
the variety of walls to be found in a city.
They are an exploration of venical
surfaces, with special attention paid to
line. planes. color, and texture.
Haar has a very good eye, and it
strongly determines the composition and
effect of hiS images. He does not
manipulate h is photograph
in the
darkroom. Haar says, "I am interested in
how the camera captures and at the
same time tranSfers the observed image,
pulling it out of context automatically."
He suggests that h is subdued sense of
color may derive from his having lived in
Japan for the first 18 years of his life.
Haar is ·aCtually Hungarian, but Was
born in Japan in 1941 {both his parents
are photographers). He received his
M .F.A . in Design from the University of
Hawaii in 1967 and has been a free lance
documentary photographer since 1971 .
(A few weeks ago he was commissioned
by a leading Japanese pictorial magazine
to photograph conductor Seiji Ozawa at
the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra 's
centennial celebration activities.) Haar
has had shows of his work in Japan,
Hawaii, Poland. and New York City. He
also made a. documentary film , ''festival
at Mizunli," which shows rare performances of the traditional Japanese No

Town and Country

the final visit of Emil y's " ghost" to her
parents home has f illed many a theatre
with laughter and tears. In the current
climate of political terrorism. unpredict able violence, and general anomie, " Our
Town" probably has more appeal than_
ever.
Saul Elkin will direct. and he has cast
Evan Parry (the jester in last summer's
Twelhh Night) as the Stage Manager who
is the play's central, omniscient narrator.
Mary Lou Newcon is Emily, Bill Crouch is
George, and the other principals are
Kristen Norton, Frazer Uvely, Jeff
Kronson, and Jeff Sugarman.
Opening night is Noverhber 19 in
Harrima n Theatre Studio at 8, and it runs
through December 13.

Turgenev's A Month in the Country willopen the 1981 -82 Center Theatre season
tonight at 8. · and will run through
November 22 (see magnet directory
listing). The Department of Theatre/
Dance production is being directed by
Professor Ward Williamson, whose
special fondness for and understanding
of the classics was most recently
demonstrated in his product ions of
Gorky's Summer People and Ibse n's
Ghosts.
The bittersweet #atmosphere of A
Month in the Country, with its shifting
romantic relat ionships. has long appeal ed to the imagination of theatergoers, as
well as to b811et and opera directors who
have adapted it to those forms. Tlie
setting is a Russian estate in the 19th
century. Natalia. the lovely. idle heroine
-that prototype of 19th century Russian
plays and novels. played by English and
Theatre professor Anna Kay France. finds
the stability of her relationship with her
husband and"'" with her ·~·friend, Rakitin
(Michael EhreQreich) threatened by the
arrival of a you'ngtutor, Beliayev (Mitchell

Gossen). Both Natalia and her young
ward, Vera (Sandra Burrt are anracted to
Beliayev, and the play studies the various
pasSions and complications that ensue.
Costume designs are by Esther Kling,
stage design by Gvozden Kopani, and
·light design by Tom Blancato. Other cast
members include Bill ' Gonta. Elizabeth
Hiller, Joan Calkin. Michael Mirand.
Jerry OiCroce, Keith Elkins, Stephen
Smith, Bonnie Bradigan, and M ichael

Gray.

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

At the helm of GFC, in hft second year as

Dr. Sirianni feels tbat :CFE: bas done a
good job in . promoting a dive;-sified

residential pro8ram offers CFC students
the chance to get involved in a variety of
ways. They can pa_rticipate in sports,

CFG involves ifs students with the

various special ways. Two weeks ago,
CFC held a "Chiclcen-wing eating

the proceeds benefiting the United Way.
This past weekend, FridaY. night to
Saturday night, CFC sponso"red a "24hour volleyball marathon" at the

colleges and some fraternities tested their

to tb ~ United Way also.

The Samples - both of whom have

"We introduce people to what the University has to offer and it's a \I'Onderful

By MARY BETH SPINA
_ Shirley Snyder, a U/ B employee who
lives in Clarence, Stood anxiously a year
ago amid her relatives at Buffalo
International Airport; waiting for the
arrival of her newly adopted Koreant&gt;orn daughter, Sarah Jane.
,
Only - tqe evening · before she had
received a long-awaited, yet .unexpeCted
call from Catholic Charities that Sarah
·-::rane ~o uld be arriving with an escort the
riext morning, one of several Korean
youngsters coming to new, Stateside
parents.

(or' the' occasion, Ms. S'nyder spotted
Sarah being carris:d from the plane.
As the escOrt approached her, she said,
"You must be the mother, you brought
the doll."
For Ms. Snyder, the moment was the
end of a three-year wait foi)&gt;arentbood:
For two-year-old Sarah Jane, it was the
beginning of a new li(e in which rhere .
would be no more foster homes.
...Ten years ago, i.t would have beeo
impossible for me, as a single person r.o-adopt-a child in New York State, " says
Ms. Snyder. Adoption, as well as -'
placement agencies shunned singles; and
the law, until it was Changed, made it
clear that parenthood through adoption
had to involve two people, a married
co,uple - not the single WtiO yearned for
parenthood.
Although the law has eased a bit, the
path is still fraught with disappointment;
long waits, frustration and inevitable
masses of red tape for singles such _as
Shit-ley Snyder who want to adopt.

Grant promotes
-ride.-shaljng in
local companies
A $66,000 Federal Highway Administration graht has been awarded to the U/B
Department of Civil Engineering, Rep.
Henry T . Nowak, 0-Buffalo, officially
announced last Monday.
'
The grant will help fund the Department's ~share-the-Ride·· -,rogram, develo ped over the past year, which
encourages local employers to organize
ride-sharing for commuting worl&lt;ers. The '
Department provides free organizational
I assistance to employers intcrested_jn
1\tarting their own programs. •
'
.The initial phase of the. rid,e-shaling
program begins with an analysis of how a
firm ·s employees &amp;et to work, cxpl8incd
~ike Novak, project coordinator. Hds
wor~i!'g with Deru&lt;!Jni~!\1 Qlllir. ~ntti
Talv•ue on the pro!W'm.
: •.
."We compile as much data about the
efllllloyees· transportation patterris as we
can. This data is then fun on a computer
giving us what is called a •scattergram, •an
overall picture of the employees• commuting habits," No val&lt; described. " With
all the necessary information assembled
we can then--1:lesign a ride·sharing program for that firm."
.
The main thrust of the program,
Novak feels, is to illustrate the benefits
obtained by emplOyees who decide to carpool or use mass transit instead of driving
their_own cars to Work.
·"A typical person in Buffaio lives six
miles 'f~;_om his or her plllce of employment and therefore drives 12 miles/ day,"
he explained . .. The transportation costs
invol ved would be $400 / year in gas
alone. This. of coUI'Se, doesn' take into
account other costs, such as maintenance
and 4epreciation which could increase
the casts of driving to $1,000/year."
Besides the economic benefits (a •
S200f year and ·up, savings. according to
Novak) that comes from :ride-sharing,
· Novak sees a soci~i benefit involved as
well.
•....
" Car-pooling is· probabiy one of the
best ways to meet people in your_..c om- ·
pany or firm, • he said.
The main s-ource of lunding for the
Department's program is the fedci-al
gran t of $~6,000, but Novak explained
tliat the C1vll Engmeenng Department
must come up with ~22,000 of its own
because it is a matching grant. Local
radio stations are promoting the program

for free to help defray these costs.

Questions
,
When mother and daughter go out,
people approach and ask questions about
the obvious adoption. "There seem· to be

to know how I did it,"says Ms. Snyd~r . A
group for Buffalo area Families
Interested in Adoption and another for
si ngles who wish to become parents '
through adoption, are two sources of
support and information which• Ms.
Snyder' recommends.

"The city is very app.ealihg, too . ..People who live

New York City. What we found was that the City of
Buffa lo is as different from New York City as t.incQin,
Nebraska, is from New York City. Buffalo is much
more in-the tradition of the Middle West than it is the
East Coast. lt has tho st rong ethnic traditiops of Chicago and Nebraska. The p.eople are proud of their city

there are advantages . ... It takes a long time to build a

subtle distinction. .

""It's a narrow line to walk , but I think in a community like an academic community where the decisionmaking st ructure is very diffuse , it's impo rtant that the
chief executive maintain some prett y open ~nd easy
lines of commu nication with faculty , with' students,
with alumni. with staff. But by th'e sa me tok::en, if the
ch ief executive is willing to inject himself as a decisionma~er around subordinates to whom responsibility
and autho rit y. have been delegated, then that renders
those people ineffective. Pretty soon that chief executive is trying to make a// the decisions. J'm sensi tive to
that potential connict. ..

Reporter: You 're an engineer. What -would you-say 'to
allay fears in some quarters that the Universit y is ·in
danger of becoming a technical institute at the expense ·
of the arts and humanities!
Sample: "In terms of personal-attitudes. proven out
by aetions and habits ove r a lo ng period of time. I'm
very committed to the fine ans personally; and very
committed to thcirdCvelopment and enhancement as a
·part of the University.
"'-Turning to the larger picture - not just what the·
president feels and wants, but 'What about the
prospects for the arts at Buffalo? I'd have to say those
prospects are very .stro ng. One of the reasons I'd s~
that is beca use SUNY Buffalo is located in Buffalo.'
Thcr~commuility impresses us as having a ve ry strong
co mmitment to the fine arts and that's all to the good
of tile fine arts at the Unive rsit y: It's much tougher to
build a strong program in a community orjn a political
milieu that doesn't place muclJ; value on the arts.
"Another th ing to point out is fhat there's not a lot
of competition. U I B does not find itself. in the manner
of so me Eastern public insti tutions, surrounded by
major private universities that are dominant in the
humanities and the fine art.s. forcing it to seek out t he
sciences and technology as the only area where it might
ad va nce. That isjost not the case as far as I can see ....
SUNY Buffalo is the only comprehensive university in
that region of the Sta te. Its continued comprehensiveness may not be assured, but is certainly supported b)l
the a bsen.ce of ariy otberCO!Jl prehensive institutions in
the area. public or private. I can think of many public
universities whose role in the fine arts is much more
threa tened by the fiscal exige ncies oft he 1980sand 90s
than SUNY Buffa lo .
"Now, thete are enrollment shifts taking place all
across the country a nd it's difficult fo r some arts and
sciences departments to attract majors. But for the
long-term. it's been made clear to me bydi'e University
Coun.cil at Buffalo. it"s been m.ade clear to me by the
SUNY ad min istration thalthc University at Buffalo is
a nd is to remain a co·m prehensive university not a
speci4!1ized i-nst itution. Tha t again bodes well for t he
arts and sciences and for liberal arts education in the
long run. Again. I would say. where are th e-" alternatiVes in this area of the State? . .... , •

"" BOth institutions are the premier ,public instituti ons for a large g~ographic a nd population area. If we

"We\le been blessed , though, with a very, very clean
- progr.am. It is super clean. And not just clean in terms
of a'l absence of major infractions. But it's superclean
in terms of relationships with the faculty. 1\&gt;e been
here almost eight yea rs and I've never once had ... a
complaint from a faculty member or even beard a
snide remark from a faculty member that there'd been
improper pressure placed to get an athlete through a
coUrse. I can tel(you that at many other universities.
the facult y just hate the athletic program. They just
don) want to have anything to do with it. Here the
faculty support it and have never raised a question
about improprieties.
"'Another possible danger of an athletic program
any place - panicularly with a winnin_s one - is that
it c;t. n divert ~ttention. People can bcgm to think that
as long as the team is winning, everything else is
healthy for the inst itution .

come in with a very open mjnd; I don't come in with a
conviction that high on the prioritY list of the University at Buffalo is to ge t a Division I Athletic program

"'My relationship with students has been on~ of first
of all liking th em, and feeling comfortable around
them in the classroom or out. Seco ndl Y, I try to always
maintaih a respectful relationship towards students (as
one would be respectful of valued and even prized
clients anyplace). but not to co nfuse my role as a
professor with their role as a student , or my role as an
administrator with their role."

administrators _.:. come from the faculty and that most
of them expect to return to the faculty .. ..
"The facully" are employed by the University; the
administrators are employed by the University; the
.staff are employed by the:University. But the faculty
have a role to,tay that is different fr9m the employee
relationship in many other large organizations. ·They. . .
have a decision-making rble; they have a governing
role; they bave a leadership role. That's one of the things that tnake universities so different , make them
· diff~eult-to manage (in the sense of not having the neat
efficie!lll¥ and the tidy chain of command of other
institutions). I think it"s important that the president

Reporter: Which of your accomplishments at UN are
you proudest of?
Sample: "Three or four things. UN is a much
stronger institution academically, and I don 't mean to
say by that , that this is due to my stewardship as chief
academic officer in any isolated way. It isn't; because
.everybody"s been a part of it. Over the last decade. UN
has become much stronger academically. Our standards for promotion and ten ure are much higher. Our
res.ea rch effort has more than doubled; almost tripled .
"I was able to get a sabbatical leave program instituled . We didn'L)lave a sabbatical leave"before - a
little historical anomaly at this institution . Somewhere
in th e di stant past .therc was a feeling against sabbaticals q_n the part of the Legisla-ture. But we were able to
overcOme that duringthe time I was here. That's bee n
a great asset, I think, to the institution.
"'We'Vt; .been able to 8et our Board of Regents and
our Legislature to _.really understand something about
the resea,rch l"ission of ihe University. I don) think
that during my tenure research bas been overemphasized at the expense of undergraduate instruction or

R•porter: There was talk that Albany would take the
opportunity of this search t.o put "'their man" in Buffalo. Are you"' Albany's man''?
Sample: "The local ~uncil as far as I can see
exercised its statutory responsibility to select the president , The Chancellor and the State Board have also
exercised their statutory responsibility for ultimately
approving th a t appointment. No one ever approached
me about the job from Albany; no one e~er talked to
me aboutthejob from Albany. All of my discussions
were with the Council except, of course, when the
Council sa id "we'd like yo u to talk with the Chancellor
. ... ·I feel comfortable with that.
.. But on the other hand, th e realit y says once you're
appointed. you se rve at the pleasure of the Chancellor
a nd the State Board . So I think there's clearly a relationship, obligation and loyalty to the governing
board. The State Board of Trustee~ is the organization.
c harged und er the laws of New York to own and
operate Buffalo along with the other campuses.
.. , don) think the leadership of SUNY I Buffalo can
move indepel'dently of the SUNY Cenlral administratitm in mounting a legislative program. The primary
responsibility for legislative liaison is Clearly with the
SUNY central administration . But I would hope to
develop and maintain close.'contact with our legislat~ot in the se nse of tryi ng to circumvent the central
admmistration in any way but in trying to represent to
those legislators wtio have a special interest in Western
New York the best possible side of the total SUNY
system .

RepOrter:· Do you have any message for Al umni?
Sa,mple: "I think the alumni of U/ B have a special
opportunity and a special obligation. They're probably the largest group ·of alumni of any unit of the
SUNY system. They can probably make a bigger difference in the quality and the character of U/ B than
the alumni can at many of the other units of SUNY. I
,don't see the private university traditions of U/ B as
being at odds with or antithetical to its role as a major
public university. Nor do I see its present state as a
major public university somehow negating or bcil)g
antithetical to Its (raditions of over a. century as a
private ·institution. I see· these two as being comple. mentary ... . Uj B has something which no other unit
of SUNY really has: bofh a long tradition with a line of
alumni stretching back to the first half of the 19th
Century, and the enormous financial support which'
has come from the State over the last two decades and
hopefully ~ill continue to come, over the next few
decades . .. . I would hope the alumni would look with
favor on theif almi mater and decide to continue as
they have in the past to try to help U/ B remain as
ex~llent as it is and to advance it."

..

Rep~rter: Theri's been criticism of the secrecy sur• rounding the Presidentiol selection prO&lt;'~. Wh,t's
your feeling about that?
Sample:"lt'sa valuejudgmentabou( whether or not

•People- don' want to be embarrassed - and the

Classical and jazz guitar
When Eric Hill was studying chemislry at England's Leeds University,
he spent more time playipg the guitar than studying - a fact that may
have helped him earn ~n award
from 16e Martin Musica.J.Scholarship Fund. Hill earned the B.S . .
from Leeds but turned professio nal
guitarist right after graduation .
The British guitarist Will appear
tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in the

Hill was a prizewinner at lhe 1970
Concours Intemationale de Guitare
in Paris and has made numerous
radio and.television broadcasts in
England and abroad. His concert
tours have tiken him to Europe aDd
to Jhe United States. A self-taught
gu1tarist, Hill did have some!'
advanced study wilh the famous
Julian Bream.
'
A pioneer in concertizing with
both classical 'guitar works and
- improvised jazz on .. standard
numbers," Hill has a varied program in store for his U/ IJ a.udience.

Director of International Studies will
counter institution's 'cul~ural myopi~'
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
The first major task facing Ed D dley as
new head of the Council on International
Studies, is to lead a University-wide task
force charged with examiniilg the nature
and extent of international· activity on
campus, and to make recommendations
for future commitments.
Until the task force - created at the
reques t of President Ketter - submits its
final report in late spring to U/ B's new
chief executive, Dudley says he will
maintain a .. holding pattern .. on Council
activities.
In its deliberations, Dudley said, the
task force will explore how. the Council
can ma xi mi ze its. and the University's,
resources. Discussions wilJ also focus on
what form or structure the Council
should take in light of its missio n_
'
. Dudley, who will continue to chair the
Department of Modem Languages and
literatures while serving as director of
the Council. is no neophyte to the
international aie na. ThC nature of his
disci pline is such that he· has kept a close
assoCiation with U/ B's international
programs, especially Study Abroad
Programs for language majors. He has
also served , for the last six years., as an
NEH co nsultant in international studi es
and foreign language, advisi ng on
curricular, academic and administrative
concerns. In his early ~ career, Dudley
in
lived an d worked overseas Managua, Nicaragua , for one yea r, in
Rome for 18 months, and in Spain for
a se~ral month period.

Sen~ tors

He knows the department's problems
As a department chair - at U/ B for seven
years and at Pittsburgh-for four Dudley feels be is intimately acquainted
with problems faced by departments.
Ideally, he wants the bumanities more
involved in iqternational studies and
would like to see aU the professional
schools develop .an international
component. His experience, though, has
made him only too aware: of limitations
departll)ents and faculty face in fulfilling
this desire. On the other hand, that same
experience has shown him how the
departments can best be assisted in
building international progra ms.
If he gets a workable budget. Dudley
wanls the Council to act as a "support
system," providing "seed money" to
facul\ y interested in developi ng course
work or nther activities ai med at
fostering a global awareness in students.
Jn his travels as a consultant for the
NEH , Dudley has observed that it is often
- difficult at best for Americans - both
faculty and students - to understand
how domestic and international problems are perceived by those from other
cult ures. He attrib utes this block to the
sad fact th at the majority of Americans
were introduced only to a c·hauvinistic
perspective or orientation at their
educational inst itutions. The result has
been a type of cultural myopia . Because
of th is flaw, when students learn of crises
or problems facing other peoples, lhey
often feel··powerless·· and frequentl y opt
to ·'withdraw" from th e s ituation,

exhibiting a " nothing 1 can do about it"
attitude.
A start toward solving global questions
If, however, students could look at a
problem "through the eyes . of their
disciplines ," Dudley sus peels this
tendency might be abated . The
disciplines, he explained, can prOvide the
common parlance as well as the
mel)lodological tools ·for analyzing
problems in a particular way. While this ·
10 itself will hardly solve the w.orld's
prOblems, at least nit's a start," he argues.
In his role as director of 1)\e €ouocil,
Dudley says he will work to fulfill bis
responsibility to UI B students; tha! is, be
will do all he can to ensure that they
"complete .their education with an
inforr~ed awareness of global issues as e
these issues relzte to tbe major." To do
this with--any success, however, Dildley
knows· he will need cooperation with a
capital C. "You can\ force departments
to do an)iihing they don\ want to, and
you can\ get anywhere if people feel
threatened ." he notes.
Finally, Dudley is aware that mucb
international activity currently exists on
campus. but that few faculty know w!{at
colleagues in other disciplines are doing.
To combat this communication void,
Dud ley wants the Council to be a "highly
visible information store'house,'" towhich
faculty and staff can gain easy access. 0

Fifty· miles south and west of 9maha,
across the legendacy Platte River, in Lincoln,the day was blazi ng bright. A chilly
wind stirred gold leaves. The ai r was
diamond-dear.
Lincoln rises from the slightly rolling
hind•cape, so)Jth of the-Interstate, its skyline dominated by a single tower - the
400-foot skyscraping state capitol, atop
which - frozen in brol\_ze as he flings
seed into tbe Good Earth - stands The
Sower. From the obServation point on
that tower you can rurvey both Lincoln
campuses of1.1&amp; University - split some
two miles apart. You can see tbe pJaim.
To reach tbe city from Interstate 80, a
direct route is via Combusker Highway
(named, as only tbe m&lt;&gt;st oblivioljsto the
sports world would fail to reco$nW:, for
· ThL Gombusliers, the Universtty's. athletic team.). Dotting 'the highway arevarious signs celebrating The Bi&amp; Red --.,
as tbe Husken are alao known. A major

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

breath-holding time could be increased as

The danger lies in the fact that while
the body ;s able to hold more carljpn

store oxygen. so that a person may lose
consciousness· before he or she is eve r
aware of the need to surface.
This phenomenon could explain why

Ramses.lll
Under the direction of Dr. Donald.
Hickey, a former Navy 4diving officer,
medical students are studying the effects
of sudden submersion using a rather picturesque piece of equipment affectionately named "Ramses Ill." ·
Tht device is a watertight container
shaped like a s)tting human;'it can fill
with water very rapidly to simulate sudden immersion, a--technique only slightly
more humane than throwing sdmeone
·
into a pool of water.
"Being suddenly immersed puts a considerable strain on the heart." Hickey.
explains. "It distends, an&lt;! shows very
clear signs of stress as blood rushes-from

Second-year medicalJiudents Zina
1&gt;mytrijuk and David Crawfo&lt;\1 worked
With Ramses this summer. Lundgren
feels it is vital for medical students to
become involved in research such as this.
"It is very important for physicians to
have firstliand knowledge of what
research is about," he says. "Everything
the)l do should be based on a rational~
~reb background. It is important for
physicians who work with patients to

The studies conducted by the two students stress the use of non·invasive

methods for monitoring subjects.
.. It is particularly important when the

out.
Dmytrijuk e~plains the technique

after immersion.
'~We're looking to S.e if this method of

The Buffalo Camera Club

Bannon told the 80 people gathered for
the
symposium. But it did not declare
4
itself a fine an until forty years hiter.
In 1g88, the Buffalo Camera' Club
announced its formation . naming
prestigious Buffalo nians with diversified
talents as its members. People lik.e
Roswell Park; John Albright; and Clara
Sipprell, the best known of the Buffa lo
photographers, who did portraits of
Pearl Buck and Albert Ei nstein.
A five-member panel detailed bits of
Buffalo's history during that proud a nd
pros perous ti me. Besides Larrabee and
Bannon, the panel included Alfred D.
Price, UI B's associate dean of architfcture and environmental design; Dr. J .
Benjamin Townsend, a UI B English
professor and art historian; and Carole
Holcberg. a realtor and member of the
'Landmark Society of the Niagara
Frontier.
Price said the city of Buffa'lo, once but
a part of the l,SOO,OOOacres purchased by
the HoUand Land Company during the
early 1800s, was laid out as the hub of a
wheel by Joseph Ellicott, who with his
iiiotber, designed Washington, D.C.
• Because of the Erie Canal, immigrants
from the East;t~ raw materials from the
West bumped into each other in lfuffalo,
. introducing cheap labor tO -developing
industry. In 1832, seven years after the
completion of the canal, IO,OQO pepple
lived in Buffalo. By 1875, the population
had swelled to 135,000.

Twenty-four German / Jewish families

The University's success comes when
its chief rival for funds within SUNY
' - Stony Brook - has missed most of its
enrolli'llent targets, Dr. Lawrence Koj.: ....
ak u, director of the Office. of Institutional Studies. said this week. Institutional Studies conducted a , telephone

In releasing results of the telephone
survey, Kojaku noted tha.r preliminary

The health sciences center at Stony

Binghamton, was over by I 14. Buffalo
State offers no doctoral programs.
First-time freshmen
In terms of freshmen, Uj B purposely
limited enrollment of first-time, full -time
students to jus' over 3,000. The corecampus total was 3,078 (the official tar:get
imposed by Albany was 3,200). Transfer
students, on the other · hand , were 13.8

above target. Stony Brook's core campus
missed fust-time full-time freshman and
transfer targets by a total of 230 {163 .

Al bany was 38 over in these combined
categories; Binghamton, 37; and ' Buffalo

In the health sciences, Ul B had' 125

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

Black Mountain II take~ its name seriously
By ANN WHITCHER
Back in the '50s, Black Mountain poets
like Roben Cree ley forged a whole new
literary advance guard , their verse
written in a spirit of experimentation
and creative nourish.
The scene was Black Mountain
College, the legendary school in Nonh
Carolina, where poets; dancers like
Mcree Cunningham, composers such as
John Cage, and anists like de Koo ning
converged and conferred .
Black Mountain is gone, and with it
some of the punch and vitality of the
truly progressive. But a new, if more
modest experimental ans center, UI B's
Black Mountain College II, is making
its own mark, with Roben Creeley its
senior tutor and adviser.
Established a year ago, the former
College B assumed the Black Mountain
name with Creeley's blessing, although
€reeley .. wanted to make sure that we
weren~ taking the name lightly," says
Jeanne-Noel Maho~oy, college academic and arts program director.
Before the name change, the college
"had · been foundering," althoqgh its
"go:&gt;&lt;! academic program and very good
instructors.. we~ auspicious &amp;igns.
Anot!ler bonus in Mahoney's view: This _
was a residentialcollege(about l / 2 of the
dorm Students in Porter Quad are
members' of the college), and "students
were really actively involved in running
the college."
Tbe results
_
Resulc Black Mountain II officials may
pay homage to College B's beginnings in
promotional literature, but they're
obviously proud of their new, more .
am bitious image. To wit: Course
offerings _have greatly increased, performing arts events have more than
doubled , and "oyr relationship with the
other (ans) depanments is the best it
has ever been."
"One reason, theorizes Mahoney, is
that Black Mountain II courses tend to
attract ans-minded students who might
otherwise be barred from depanmental

courses open only to .majors. Some- times a "funneling" effect takes place.
Some students have been admitted to
the U I B An Department with a
ponfolio acquired from work in Black
~ountain II studio an courses_ Others
have entered the Music Depanment
after training in Black Mountain ll
instrumental courses given at beginning
and intermediate levels. And aU college
coursc.s, Mahoney and Black Mountain
II Master James Pappas emphasize, are
open to everyone.
Since duplication is forbidden by
D.U.E. regulations, another effect is to
pull in students who want to take a stab
at the college's Mspecial interest
courses."' Some are not offered
anywhere else at UI B. Take "Popular
Music of the Counter-Culture (19631972)" or "The Politics of Classical
Music," for instance. Both are taught by
CODJ,poser and . instrumentalist Andrew
StiUer. In the latter, students examine
.. the ways in which social, economic,

All these successes don~ mean that
Black Mountain II is without an occasional disappointment. There"' is no

Wagner
· rie·s worked his way up
from part-timer to ,YP:
'local boy makes good'
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
He was here when the University was, in
his words, Mgrowing by leaps and
bounds. M As assistant to the provost of
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
during the expansionist 'liO's, be would
phone department chairs to inquire if
there was any equipment they needed or
faculty they wanted to hire.
It's an understatement to say a lot bas
changed since then, both for the
Univt!lity and for lhe man.
Starting a ( U I B as a part-time
accountadt, Bob Wagner, in the past 15
yurs, bas survived the comings, goings
and dispositions of over a tialf-dozen
high·powerCd supervisors, rising steadily
through the ranks until becoming one of
the so-called administrative elite
himself.
.
Wagner's story reads like the classic
"local boy makes good ." He's even a
UI B grad who holds the fond memory
of. having met his wife in a freshman
Management course.
A riSiful of experience
In his new position as vice president for
academic services, Wagner will have
responsibilit y for the University
Libraries, Admissions and Records.
Scheduling, Financial Aid, the
Educational Communication Center
and Computing Services. He was acting
director of the latter for six months in
198()-81. Anyone familiar with University operations can verify that Wagner
comes to his new post not just with
political savvy, · but with a fistful of
experience, both direct and related.
His wor.k with the University budget,
at the faculty level and in the VPAA's
and President's offices has given him
insigbt_into the inner workings of the
institutiOn that few share . He
acknowledges, in fact , that it was
probably this insight which thrust him
into an upward projectile here. That and

JEAN !JII'ADEa

bility, one can safely conclude Wagner
will fi nd the latter expencncc
invaluable. He has alread y mapped out
his agenda and administrative priorities
and set wheels in motion for change. To
free-up more time for planning efforts.
Wagner a nnounced that Financial Aid
and Scheduling will now report to A &amp;
R instead of directly to him. Since
Richard Dremuk's resignation as A &amp; R
director last month, Wagner spends two
days a week there to get a handle on its
operational functions from a .. service
point of view." The decision to change
the reporting structure, he feels , will
improve service through better
coordination among un its.
Other changes in A &amp; R include
establ ishment of an Admissions
Systems Board t o s upport the
admission and recruitment process. The
Board, recommended in the 1980 Jen
Report (the report of the Committee on
Operational Processes) will be respon- sible for ..designing a series of integrated
sub-systems from the pre-application
stage through the registration stage for all
new day freshmen and sophomores...
that report defined . The sub-systems
will include such areas as campus visits,
identification of feeder schools. preand post-application contact. etc.
Wagner's commitment to service
extends to shon and long-term
planning for his units. The new VP
mtends to ..dovetail'" his efforts with
academic planning now underwa y in
the VPAA's Office. A meshing of
priorities is evidenced, for example, in
Wa$ner's belief that growth in
Engmecrin(!. bas generated a need for
more sophiSticated computing service
- a need he intends to fulfill. Wagner
also plans on computerizing some aspects
of Financial Aid, Scheduling and
transcript preparation. Better service
through increased use of automation is
bound"to haye a beneficial impact on
retention, he figures.
Wagner will also develop a mechanism for evaluation of directors in his
area as well as prepare a status report
for use by the new president.
Wagner's attitude about service and
planning is reflected in his opinion
about his new VP role. He sees his
responsibility not in ttnns of an
advocate for particular units, but as a
.. university officer'" who has an
.. oblis,ation.. to consider how his
decisiOns .. impact on the entire
institution and its long-range objectives ...

Aware of Libraries' disappointment
Not one to look at life throuzh rosecolored glasses, Wagner iS aware the
Libraries' staff was disappointed when
told last year they would no longer be
reporting to the president. Moreover,
he is equally "sensitive" to the fact that
the Libraries bad hoped an academic
would be· selected for his post, rather
than an iodividual with more of an
administrative background.
He feels "comfortablcnwith rcsponsi. bility for the University Libraries, but
wagnei realizes the matter is "not
insipificant" for him or for
University librarians - anll plans to
give more couideration to how be can
best address spcci.(ic academic and
personoel issues.

A five-person committee from th~ u.S.
Depa rtment of Education 's Office of
Civil Rights (OC R) spent five days on
campus last week investigating the Universit y's intercollegiate athletic program
in response to a Title IX suit filed in 1980
by membe rs of the women's bowling
team.
The OCR group met individua11y with
Department of Recreation, Athletics and
Related Instruction administrators, staff
personnel , head coaches and student
team captains. ~
All areas of the athletic program were
reviewed - budgets, equipment, facilities, ·scheduling, coaching aqd publicity
- to determine if the University ill'fords
women students the same opponunity of
competition as,male athletes.
·
U I B is one of over two dozen colleges
and univcni.ties nationally that have been

It is anticipated that tbc University will

In one coUeae case contested by the

Course collectivization
Anot her example of how Tolstoy works
collectively is its concern to bring
students into the College in a variety of
ways. Throughout the year each
instructor is co ncerned with identifying
st udents who may b~ interested and
serious enough to co-teach the same
co urse the following semester and
eventually teach it on tiis own.
Contribut ions are also solicited from
stude n ~ as to wh01 is to be taught.
Instructors rarely show up the first day of
class with a prepared syllabus, Murphy
said. b!JJ rather have notes ar.d
suggestio ns of what the course could
consist of and then discuss these ideas
with the students.
Probably the most significa nt way in
which Tolstoy courses are collectivized,
Murphy reported ... is in regard to final
grades. In the early years we just gave
every body A's a nd the serious students
remained to learn while those primarily
interested in a free ride were never'seen
again. Thoug~ we still prefer that
method. the Univ~rsity stipulated that if
we wished to be rechartered, we could
give no more than one-third A's and onethird' B·s. What we do is to make final
grades a collective decision by the entire
class keeping in mind the principle of
need. This situation is explained from the
first week of the course and the first few
classes are spent deciding on what
criterion will be used to determine who
gets the A's, who the B's and so on. This is
an education in itself and certainly an
introduction to how anarchisl"p rinciples ...
can be p&lt;acticai\Y applied." •

Her spar.kling sky-blue eyes are glazed

rarely seen. hidden as they are by the
rounded lids th"!t almost always cover
them.
Eileen Abbott wanted to become a
nurse or a doctor, but because congenital

Eileen is studying ph ysical therapy here.
' WheQ Eileen, now 25, graduated from
Batavia State School for th e Bl ind. a
counselor discouraged her from trying to
get into a four-year school to major in
physical therapy, telling hers he could nm
do it.
·
In 1976, howeve r. she entered Alfred
State College as a liberal arts major
concentrating in math and science.
After two years. she applied as a
tran sfe r student to P'T departments in
various ew York State co ll ege~. but was
rejected.
So. instead. she trave led to Sl. Mary"s
Junior College in Minneapolis. The
Midwest school had been awarded a
grant that year to foster the admission of
visually-impaire4 .s tudent s into its health
professio ns programs . Eileen was one of
three with impaired sight in her class of
40. studying to t?e ph ysical therapy
assis~nts.
•
Sht-t~pplieclto -U/B ·
Wilh an associate's degree in hand , she
decided not t9 take the PT assistant job
she was offered in Minneapolis. but to
come home·to Manchester. N.Y .. east of
Rochester. Though she dido' intend to
go on for an advanced degree just yet. she
nevenhcless applied to U/ B while she
searched that summer for a job.
Because she could not find employment in central New York and because
she had been accepted at U/ B. she
traveled West once again, this time to
Buffalo, in September 1980.
Her advisor told her she would have to
wait until January 1982 to apply to the
physical therapy depanment a sa transfer
student. But Eileen was getting weary of
waiting. She cont.acted one of the PT
professors to ask ifthedepanment would
malce an exception . Then she wrote a
petition let(er ...
She was aeee~ted as a pre-PT student
for .the 1981 spnng semester. ·
Passing her preHminaty courses, she
was accepted this past June as a
protessional major.

Not many concessions Eileen does not believe the department
has had tO:.Ihak:e many concessions for
her.
"And the ones they do make, I think

A portable 'reader'
Three years ago. Eileen acq uired a
portable Opt.acon, a $3 ,500 device that
allows her to "read' ptint.
Though m·any textbooks ar~ available
on tape \hrou'gh the Recbrdings for the
Blind and others arc recorded by people
sh.pa ys with the S250311otted to her each
semester by the state, Eileen bought the
Optacon because _it gives her more
latitude.
Unpaciing the electronic device the
mailman has just del ive red {each year. it
must be returned to the manufacturer for
cleaning), Eileen demonstrates . how it
works.
Her right hand cradles a small, black
tube attached through a wire tO a cassette
tape deck~sized box in which she ha s
insened the fingers-ofherlarge,left hand .
She ski ms the black tube over a line of
type, laying its tiny flashlight-face onto
the black letters. A miniature camera in
the tube photographs'tlie letters, she says.
then transmits them to the box. Each
letter·s shape is imitated on a finger-sized
area within the box via vibrations that
Eilee"n (ouches with her indeX finger.
Though Eileen is tiring of the college
routine. she is willing to continue,
because she knows she needs the
schooling to Practice the prpfession she
has introduced herself to during summers
and in between 14 eye operations.
One summer rShe volunteered;. four
other summerS she wor.k.ed as'! physical

th~ra py aide in a deve.lop'mental school
ncar her hometown. She worked in a
Minnesota hospital as a PT assistant
.
while going to school there.
Only once ha s she been turned down
for a job because of her impaired sight.
Though the employer had been eager
during a telephone conversation to
interview her for a job as a physical
therapy assistant, when they met, he. .sa id
there were so many other a_pplicants,

Eileen ha s been turned down many

blind - ·•It 's npne of their business if iJ
does not affect my work" - the rejections
were for other reasons.

'She's not touching me•
Only once has she e:xperie~ced a negative

reaction from a patient because of her
impaired sight.
An elderly woman, who had toad a hip
replaced was assigned to Eileen for
therapy. Eileen recalls that th e patient
took one look at her red and white cane
and yelled, "She isn' touching me . She
can't sec where I'm going!" She refused
treatment that day. The following day.
though, the old woman apologized and
for the oext severaJ weeks Strengthened
her steps by leaning heavily on Eileen 's
muscular arm to walk back and forth
across the exercise room.
Most patients are motivated by Eileen.
she says. "They tell me, ' If you can do it.
I can do it.•,.
Eileen has decided to postpone a
proposed cornea transplant so she can
graduate in May 1983 with her bachelor's

.degree in physical therapy.

Articles on the future
.-downplayed nuclear threa~
Editor:
I am concerned that last week'sanicleon
world problems made only one reference
to the threat of ,nuclear war. The recently
accel~ted procurement of nuclear weapons coupled with developments in weapons technology (e.g. hi&amp;hly accurate
multiple warhead missiles) not only make
nuclear war more possible by destabiliz.ingthe nuclear balance but also increase
the destructiveness of such war. Additionally:"" the proliferation to other
nations of both the capability and the
motivation to construct nuclear weapons
furtheJ'-threatens intemation~l stability.
In response , many sCientists. have
begun to speak out, echoing dissident
Sovie\ physicist Andrei Sakharov who
claimed, "the problem of lessening the
danger of annihilating h·J~nity in a
nuclear war carries an absolute priority
over all other considerations."' Yet. perhaps the most tragic aspect of this is Lhat
science and technology, paradoxically
the very forces which have and will continue to benefit humanity;llre responsible
for this unparalleled danger. Time is
short. The spectre of war continually
dangles over us. We are not helpless,
though, because the problem, created by
humans, can be solved by them.
I believe i~ is the responsibility of all
scientiSts and others to at least reconsider
and, hopefully, support the EinsteinRussell Manifesto, a statement prepared
-by Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell
in 19SS a~d signed by many internation;
ally prominent persons. It states:

Pacell

Krenek
Colorful Austrian
composer ts
honored here
By AN N WHITCHER
He was a diminutive but impressive
figure, the great and prolific Austrianborn composer Ernst Krenek, here for a
concert of his works Sunday evening.
The highlight of the_ occasion,
honoring the 81 -year-old composer, was
Yvar Mikhashofl's transcriftion for
piano, violin and clarinet, o numbers
from Krenek's 1926 opera, l onny Spielt
Auf or "Johnny Strikes Up the Band."
Sunday night he related that at the time,
he k.new next to nothjnga)&gt;out English or
American life; he envisioned the latter as
loaded with unmitigated " freedom and
independence."
Clarity and wit
When Americans later thought that an
"b • must be missing, Krenek explained
that his hero's name was derived from
Jonathan. The audience lapghed at his
subtle humor, as he briefly introduced the
pieces played by tbe U f B musicians.Krenek is known for his often brilliant
literary endcavon (be has written most of
his opera libretti). At times his English
prose whistles with clarity and marvelous
wit, and be displayed his succinct way
with words before the Baird Hall
f!thering.
He eluded-only briefly to the 12 tone
techniques- used in his Monologue for
Clarinet Solo played by Allen Sigel; and
in his So1UJta for Violin played by
Thomas Halpin. A good· scholar is "one
who knows where to look it up." Or so he
finessed the technical explanations,
anyway.
Krenek pronounced his Five Piecesfor
Tromboh~ and PianO Solo "quite
effective," noting that they call fo r a
touch of acting ability. . Frequently
humoroUs, the five pieces, played here by
J a mes Kasprowicz and Mik.hashoff,even
attracted a child's delighted giggling. And
some laughs from older CO f!.cert~goe rs as
well.
Krenek walk.ed with difficulty, and .s at
during his brief introductory_ remarks.
After the first flourish of apology, he

reminded the aud ience that after all, they,
too, were seated. He shook Mikhashofl's
hand warmly after the conclusion of the
Johnny's Jazz Band suite, and applauded the performers with obvious gusto.
Political underpinnings
Krenek is one of the most prolific
composers of the century, one who has
written in everything from rom~ntic
tonality to atonality. from neo--classicism
to 12 tone techniq ues and his own brand
·of serialism. He has ·written some 20
operas. many of which have unabashed
political underpinnings. Some probe fate
and indeterminancy, others the questi ons

of time and space. Still others arc sharply
satiric. such as his Schwergewicht oder
Die Fhre der Nation , which mocks the
c reation of sports heros at any cosL
Krenek writes: .. 1 was prompted to this
satire by reading that the German envoy
to Washington, on the occasion of a n ~
American tour by Max Schmeling or
a nother such hero. had declared that in
his opinion the stars of the world of sport
were the true ambassadors of the rla tions,
not the scholars and artists. It clearly
foreshadowed the coming open season
for the egghead-hunters and irritated me
a great deal. "
Krenek emigrated to the United Stall'S

in 1937 a nd has lived in California (or
many years (he sports a rudd y tan). After
arriving in the United States, he ta ught
first at Vassar College. later serving as
dean of Hamline University's a rts
program in St. Paul, Minnesota. He then ,
taught at The University of California at
San Diego.
In 1960, he was awarded the Great
Silver -Cross cif Austria a nd the Gold
Medal of Vienna.
Krenek 's visit and the COMPASS
,concert were sponsored by a number of
arts a nd corporate groups.

The Faculty Senate, Tuesday: heard
budget hearing updates which included
some new twists from the DOB; passed
three amended recommendations from
its Faculty Tenure and Privileges
Committee that have a questionable
impact on reyiew ofiaculty personnel
actions; and endorsed the establishment
of a Joint "'Council of University Center
Senates to deal with long-range academic

During a relatively short meeting last
Friday, President Ketter reported to the
Senate, the DOll did a n about face when
it relayed it would .. no longer respond to

to the institution: the DOB annOunced,

people in open areas," Lundsager noted.
What about noise?, someone asked.
"It only bothers people who don' like
windmills ," was the reply. More
seriously, Lundsager explained that his
group had made noise measurements of a
200 kilowatt windmill of "old fashioned
design" and found that at 50 meters the
noise could be heard very well, but at 100
meters could not be heard. He added that
a lal'ge windmill is located close to his
office, and the noise doesn l bother him a
bit.
What about efficiency?
The students were interested in the
efficiency of the windmill.
Theoretically, Lundsager explained, it
is possible to take up to 60 per cent of the
available energy out of the wind. A welldesigned windmill operating in high
wind speeds can· come close to this
theoretical upper limit , he said.
The most efficient windmill design has
a three-bladed machine, he added. Twobladeoi windmills are not as efficient. He
added later that his group has done little
research on so-called "eggbeater"
windmills which have a vertical axis, but
that the Canadians were leading the
world in research there.
Discussion oft he design of a windmill's
air foil followed , witb someone asking
what the difference was in the air foil ol a
windmill compared to one for an
airplane.
.. You don't count on an · airplane
operating under stalled conditions,"'
Lundsager replied, to general laughter.
Another student asked how the
materials used in windmills stood up
under stress. Lundsager said there is Jittle
theoretical or empirical information
available on the. material he uses ..for the
kind of demands" we put on it. For this
reason, many safety measures must be
built in.
Lundsager said there is much interest
in using windpower from co-ops and
communities in Denmark.
" I expect that small communities will
go together in building windmills," he
said, .. not to cover all their needs, but to
assure part of their consumption at fixed
prices."
10 per cent of the energy total
Lundsager said estimates now are that
Denmark will get 10 per cent of its energy
from wind power. More could be gained If
utilities were told to change their
investments from coal-fired plants, which
could be used for emergencies, to
windmills. But even to attain 10 per cent
of energy from wind would necessitate
30,000 small windmills, he noted, which
Denmark won l have for a few years yet.
A student asked, "What.usually breaks
in a windmill?"
"Everything," Lundsager replied.
George asked him to describe his
analogy between what people expect
from their windmills and what they
expect from !heir cars.
"By tbe ume a """'breaks down,"
Lundsager said, "it has operated from

Gf the 29 I respondents about whom additional
background or professional information is known,

are associate professors, 28 (10 per cent) are ass· tant
professors, and two are adjunct faCulty. (Humanists
bold higher ranks than scientists and social scientists.)
For the sample as a whole, the average number of
years respondents have been in their present depart·
ments is 13.
Teachin&amp; takes up 43% of the time
The way the faculty spent their time was our first
concern in this part of the evaluation. In response to
the question concerning the fraction of their time spent
on teaching-related activities, the ·largest number of
respondents (125) plaoc themselves within th~ 21-40
per cent braCket. A similar qu~stion concerning
research and scholarship also finds the largest Qumber
(133) in the 21-40 per cent bracket. However, totalling ·
the whole faculty, teaching (undergraduate and graduate) consumes 43 per ._.,nt of the respondents' work
time and research and scholarship closely follow with
37 per cent. (For humanists the figures arc 5 I per cent
in teaching and 3Q per cent in research and scholarship, for social scientists 44 and 36 per cent, and for
scientists, 41 and 39 per cent.) The remaining 20 P-Cr
cent of ..the time is spent on administrative dut1Cs,
siuing on committees. performing community service,
and the like. This finding that more time is given to
teaching than to research, even on the part of a graduate faculty, is consistent with a number of national
surveys, most notably those by the Carnegie Council
and the American Council of Education.
All of this does not mean, however, that research
and publication are not a significant concern to most
faculty. Table I presents the distributions of five types
,of publications for the graduate faculty, and an examination of these figures would support the conclusion
that the interests of only a relatively small minority of
the respondents lead them away from research that
results in publications. Given that the publication output of scientists is mostly in the f9rm of articles while
humanists mostly write hooks (sec . following paragraph), it woUld seem that the publication record {Dr

did not publish a book or monograph. On the other
hand, over their entire career. almost the very same
numbers published 75 or more articles and reviews (I 4
per cent) and three or more books or monographs (37
per cent) while in the last three years 20 per cent
published II or more articles and reviews. Looking at
total publications, 4 per cent published five or fewer
pieces during their careers, while 27 per cent published
more than 5 I pieces. In the last three years, 39 per cent
authored five or-fewer titles and 18 per cent 16 or
lJIQFe titles.
. The information in this paragraph confirms the
widely held view that scientists generally publish in
articles while humanists more often publish in book

are 21 articles and .JJ reviews. As far as longer w.,rks
arc concerned. 103 of the 13 I scientists have not

although many careers are not even at mid-point, a
significant portion oft he graduate facult y contributes
to the University's mission of extending knowledge.
On the average, each respondent has given seven
pr~entations of his o r her research results or other
scholarly material in the past two years. About half of
these--have been at regional or national professional
meeti ngs and about half have been to schola rly colloquia or as a visiting professor. Eleven per cent have
made no presentations in the past two yea r period.
while almost one-third have made seven or more; only
two in te n have not been active at profess ional meetings, and three in t~n have not prese nted their work
e~ewhore . (Half have given three or more papers at
professional meetings, and more than one-third have
given th'ree or more of the ot her type of presentation.)
The average number of days faculty have been away
from the campus in the preceding 12 months for pro·
fessional presentations. consulting and the like is 18 (7
days for humanists in contrast to 28 days for scientists); about three in ten have been absent fi ve or fewer
days and about one in six have been away 2J or more
days.
Two or three articles a year
Obviously, in recent years some faculty are giving thei r
attention to matters other than resea rCh and publication. In light of these facts, the publication rate Jurns
ouno be somew here between two and three scholarly
an:icles a year. This is the case whether one considers
publication overt he entire professional career or thost
onl)' in the last. three .years. This public~ ion rate
would , of cOurse, be moder3.tely increased 1f the production or book reviews, edited works, and mon ographs or manuals were added to these calculations.
On the other hand. it might also be noted that these
self-reported numbers for publication rates for books
and monogra phs are marginally higher than those
indicated by a recent Listing of books (authored or
edited) and monographs compiled by the Jibrl!_ry fo r
the entire SUNY I Buffalo faculty: According to this
"checklist" during the years 1979 and 1980. 124 works
were published by 105 faculty. Thus, although it might
be best not to reify the figures in Table I, the picture
that el'l)erges is clear: there is a great diversity in scholarly productivity among.faculty. and some faculty are
extremely active in this endeavor. Research and writing. if n~t at the center of the professional activities of
most faculty. are an extremelY. irilportant secondary
concern.
R-arch sbould be independent

of student preferences
To pursue the matter of t he.faculty's relative commitment to research and teaching, two supplementary
items of special interest to this campus were added to
the questionnaire. The first asked for agreement or
disagreement with the statement that ...the most impo(!ant functionofth~ University is to provide instructiOn
for students at all levels." Nearly. three-fifths of the
respQndcnts agreech!mh this idea. The second asked
for agreement or disagreement with the statement that
"research programs which operate independently of ·

Strengths and weaknesses of U/B
In addition to the information on the · quality and
accom plishments of the graauate faculty just di scussed, the ETSquestionnaire was designed to provide
evidence concerning several other aspects oft he graduate program, such as its purposes, processes and
procedures, its academic and social environment, and
t}le availability of resources to it. The answers to the 66
,A.'\&lt;s~ons are best dealt with narratively by subdivid' m&amp;.!9Fm into eleven specific dimensions . .. ·.
1. Environment for Learninc: The utent
to which a department provides a supportive environment of mut~J-al respect and
concern between faculty and studef!tS and
among students, as Wt!U as cultivating
o~nness to nl'w ideas and different points
ofvil!w.

Over 90 per cent of the faculty believe that different
sc holarly points of view are encouraged in their
departments and that doctoral students support and
help each other with their academic work . Almost as
large a proportion feel that they work in' a humane
enviro nment characterized by mutual respect between
faculty and st udent s . Humanists , in particular,
st rongly agree with that statement, and on the whole
faculty at SUNY I Buffalo are more convinced of this
than the faculty at the 25 .comparative institutions.
Nearly eight in ten feel that new ideas and ways of
doing thj ngs are well received in their departments. -.
Although scientists are less certain than others, seven
in ten disagree with the statement "some professors
unduly exploit their doctoral students to advance their
own resea_rcb or ca reer." Significantly fewer faculty at
SU Y I Buffalo than at other institutions believe this
statement is true. There was a feeling among half of the
facult y, particula rly among humanists, that their
department is something less than a community: half
feel that their department is "a collection of individua ls" so that very little in the way Ofteam or jo£nt effort
takes plaee.
2. Scholarly Excellence: Rlll~d excell~n«

of faculty turd stud~nts, and illt~IIWutll
stimulation of proruun.
·
About 85 per cent feel that their colleagues provide
an intellectually stimulating environment for doctora.l
students and thatth~ scholarship and research ability
of these colleagues is good or excellent. Almost eight
in ten feel that the intellectual ehvironment of their
department is at least ·good. and almost as ~ many
expressed the opinion that the scholarship and rc- ·
se,.rcb abilities of their doctoralstudents would match
this. The finding here tharfaculty rate the ability of

IIUSSibk, lllld awtue of student needs,
CDft«nnS, 1111d SUtfeslions.
Overall, faculty feel-that their 8raduat~ students are
treated fairly.and decently at SUNY f Buffalo. Humanists are surer of this than othe~. MoreOver, an impres·
sive 96 per cent express the view that faculty members
are genuinely interested in the welfare and professional deve)opment of doctoral students. Seven out of
eight of the respondents, a significantly higher percent
than at _o ther institutions, agree that faculty-doc(oral
student relations are at least goOd (over a third Jind
them excellent) and that the accessibility of faculty
members to doctoral studEnts leaves very little to be
desired. Almost the same- number agree that there is
good communication between faculty· and doctoral
students regarding the latter's needs, concerns. and
suggestions. Fewer- only 70 per cent- believe that
there ·are many opportunities for doctoral studentfaculty interaction outside..the classroom ..·
4. Curriculum: Rati{rgs of the variety llJid·
depth of fl'adua~e course and prosram
offerinrs; prorram flexibility, opportuniti~s for individual projects, and interac·
lions with refilled deptulments.
Seven .:eighths of the graduate facult y feel that there
are good Or excellent opponunities in their departments for doctoral students to pursq.e individu al proj.ects and an almost as large propqnion rate the flexi.bility in the program to meet individu.a l doctoral
student n~eds as good (39 per cent) or excellent (45 per
ce nt). More tba.n eight in ten think that the dept~ in
subject matter of graduate courses and program 'offerings are at least gQod, while only two-thirds feel tha'l
their variety is· of the samc.quality. The only aspect of
the curriculum that the majority of the faculty feel is
deficient is ·i n'the interaction between thcirdepa'rttnenC
and rehited disciplines or programs On campus. Again.
hurilanjsts are the mo'st enthusiistic about their
programs.
5. Departmental Procedures: Ra(ings of
deptulmental policies and procedures such
as the relevance and adininistr•tlon of
degree requirements, evalutztlon ofstutlsrt
progress toward the derree, acadtf!1ic
advisement of stutknts, llJid helpfulness to
rraduates in jmding appropriate employment.
·
·
Sevel'f-eighihs of the respondents think that the
agreement between degree requirements and the stated
objective of the graduate program and the relevance of degree requiremen·ts to anticipated work in
the field are good or better. And just a few percent less

SUNY I Buffalo faculty were generally less than
enthusiastic about the materials provided to supp.ort
tht graduate program; compared to faculty at other
institutio~ns their 'tiews on these matters seem particularly bleak. Although two-thirds feel that the University l,ibrary holdings are sufficient, a majority of sixtenths think that overall the physical and financial
re~ources nece5sary fol"'a doctoral program are only
fair or poor~ At the same time (and perhaps. not
enlirely consistently) almost the same number (57 per
cent) report that the specialized facilit~. such as
laboratories or studios. and equipment needed for
teaching and research, are good or better. Scientists
are, of course~ more concerned about th.is matter than
~thers. / ,

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

Vacuunl-of power
to be brief in ~gypt, .
student leader~ predicts
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
Tuesday was a "sad day for every
Egyptian" as word of the shooting of
President Anwar Sadat dominated the
news reports of every nation.
Gehad Auda, president of the Egyptian
Graduate Student Association, presided
over an imp romptu news conference that
afternoon t.o present to reporters from
area television stations and newspapers,
who had rushed to campus to find a local
element to add to the 6 and II o'clock
news, his personal reaction to the
shooting of Sadat.
At tb~ time Auda made his comments, ;
all were still unsure of the actual
condition of the Egyptian president, who
, had been shot in a suburb of Cairo while
observing a military parade. AU three.
majoi news networlc.s and international
press associations were quoting "unoffi~
cial" reports from hospital officials that
the president bad died. Cairo's official
radio still reported him to be only slightly
wounded, although its reports were
interspersed with readings ~ the
Koran.

The reporters asked several times if
Auda had any idea what group or faction
the attack could have come from, adding
that reports offundamentalistclairns had
been received here.
Auda retorted that Ameticans have an
"obsession" with their fear of fundalnentalist religious groups.
"Nobody knows where that offig:r
who shot Sadat was from," he said. ·:How
can we know? Egypt is full of factions.
But I don' believe that Egypt will be
grabbed down by fundamentalists."
Ibrahim El-henawy, treasurer of the
Egyptian GSA, agreed, saying the
American press was always finding
similarities between Muslim groups in
Iran and those in ,Egypt. The groups are
nor alike, he said, and strongly added that
Egypt has for many years been a
democractic co\.vttry.
The press asked about reports that the
Libyan Colonel Khadafi has taken credit
for the shooting.

Not Khadafi
"Whoever did it is Egyptian," Auda
countered. "Whatever his motive is, he is
Egyptian. I don' expect that Khadafi has
a real hand to motivate anyone in Egypt
to do anything."
Auda said he was personally saddened

all Egyptians felt the same.

The premiere presentation at the
U/ B Center Theatre for the 1981-82
season will be a production that is
not officially a U/ B effort, but
really is.
The Buffalo Theatre Collective
(BTC) production of "Company,"
the only major musical scheduled
at the Center this season, is .. 50 per
cent U/ B," spokespersons for the
Collective point out.
The l.lniversity connection is
undeniable both on and off stage.
Behind the scenes are Director
Neal Radice of the Departmenl of
Theatre .and Dance, and set
designer Marc W arren~ an
undergraduate design major in the
same department.
Performing. in 1he leading role
as 1.4 Bobby,"" is Peter Merriell who
holds a B.S. in accounting from
U I B, a nd two current Theatre
Department acting majors, Am y
Hoffman and Kr istin .Norton. Both
actresses appeared this summer in
"Shakespeare in the Park ." Amy as
.. Olivia" and Kristin as .. Maria" in
"Twelfth Night."
Lynne Kurdziel, yet another
Theatre Departmenr student, has a
dual role: she is sole choreographer
of the show and will be seen in the
part of" April." The list goes on a total of 10 out of 20 casl and
crew members have strong
University affiliations.
"Company," book by George
Furth, music and lyrics by Stephen ·
Sondheim, will have five
performance$ only; October 9, 10 ,
. 15, 16 and 17. Curtain time fo'r all
will be 8 p.m. Ticket prices are $5
in advance; $7 the evening of the
performance. See "Calendar"
listing for ticket locations.
When first produced in 1970,
"Company" was bailed as a
landmark musical, Today's slyles in
American musical theatre find
origin in its content and form,
producers nf tbe Buffalo revival
mdidl,te: "The show, with its open ·
style, IS a striking, satirical,
insightful look at maJTilige - a
sophisticated piece of- musical
theatre that glows with originality," ·
the BTC says. The original
uction won lhe 1970 New
Y rk Drama Critics Award and
t 1971 Tony Award for "Best
usical."

company, founded in 1978 by
Deborah Jasinski. includes in its
repertoire original works and
reconstructions of works by wellknown choreographers. Artistic
Director Anne Meyer is a teacher
of Labanotation, the inost widely
used system of dance notation.
. The program will 'feature a
reconstruction of "Crazy Quilt,"
choreographed by Elizabeth Keen,
one of the new generation of
modern choreographers now
working in New· York City. Set to
traditiona l lrislt- folk music, it is
adapted from an epoch pitce, .
"Quilt," which originally used
approximatel y 60 people (nol all
dancers), film , and props. In the
opening dance of "Cra zy QuiJt " ·a
gossamer guilt is stretched between
two poles manipulated by two malC
dancers. Keen ·s interest in mime is

also has been widely adopted in
other countries.
Professor Caldwell is now

Sloths

News

They're playing
a vital role in
anatomy research

Mark Scott
is upgrading
WBFO's coverage

By MARY BETH SPINA

By DOUG CARPENTER

Patricia, Carol and Nastase - three.
furry brown and tan two-toed sloths who
live at UI B's Animal Facilities - spend
much of their time asleep.
When awake, however, they move
about so slowly, hanging upside down by
means of thei r grappling, hook-like
hands and feet , that it's easy to see why
the term ••sloth., is used to describe lazy
peo ple.
..
These slow, appealing Miss Piggy
look-alikes, however, are playing a vi tal
role in ongoing research as U/ B sc ientists
study them to discover clues to the design
of human anatom y a nd why certain pans
so metimes fail. The very slow meta boli sm of sloths as it relates to their peculiar
a na tomy and their enviro nment is also
under st ud y.
UI B scientists believe the slo ths'
anatomy, specifically that Tela ted t their
ability to swi ng and hang by the~r li mbs,
may provide greater understanding of the
mechanics and development of, among
other things, the human shoulder, which
is frequen tly inj ured.
"The human shoulder is seemingly
designed to take tensile but not
compressive stress; it can support our
bodies whiJe in a hangin~ position but
dislocates frequently when the head of
the humerus, or ann bone, is forced
downward," Dr. Frank Mendel, U1B
assista nt professor of a natomy and a
physical · anthropo logist, explained .
Typically, such injury occurs when one
attempts to break a fall by ou tstretch ing
an arm.

You're at a Press conference. It might
have been called by a politician, or a
bank. or maybe an outraged citizens'
group. But it's local and it's news, so the
whole Buffa lo newsgatheringcommunity
has turned out to cover it . . . .the TV
stati ons and their minica ms, the
newspaper people with their notebooks
and photographers, the radio reponers
a r\ned with tape recorders and
microphones.
The prepared statement has been read:
It 's showtime for th e repo rte rs, who've
been waiting to find out that something
extra that will make their stall·
"Questions ... '"!" The ha nd s shoot u)5'.
" Yes ... your question?"' The )lewsman
rises a nd identifies himself. "Mark Scott.
W BFO FM88 News."
That scenario used to be fantasy, but
not anymore. Not since the arrival of
Mark Scott at WB FO.OneofScou'sfirst
priorities as news and public affairs
di rector at FM88, UI B's professional,
non~ommercial rad io station, was to
upgrade its profile in the coverage of local'
news events. Scott has wasted no time.

Excellent model for ann studi..
The sloth, he added, is an eXcellent
animal model for studying mechanics of
the human arm and shoulder from an
evolutionary perspective. Sloths and
humans both descended from apes who
dwelled in the forest canopy millions of
years ago.
Learning how and why sloths adapted
to their environment in the trees may thus
provide more information about the
fo rces that influenced human evolution.
Mendel noted that other closely rela ted
anima ls such as gibbons, sia man gs and
some monkeys still live in the forest and
use their limbs somewhat li_ke sloths.
.. But these anim als, unlike slowmoving sloths, move so quickly in their
native habitat that close observation of
them is difficult," Mendel said .
Mendel has carefully observed, filmed
and monitored activities of the captive
sloths at UI B during the past four years,
attempting 10 learn more about their
evoluti9nary adaptations. But he hopes
to broaden his work by studying sloths
in the wild.
·
Application has been made to the
National Science Foundation fo r a grant
which, if funded, would allow him to
stud y sloths on Barro Colorado, site of
the Smithsonian Tropical . Resea rch
Institute. On this island in the Panama
Canal, as in other pans of Central and
South America, two-toed slo ths abound.
VinuaUy invisible
"Little is known of the habits of these
animals because they are nocturnal, live
60 to 80 feet high in_ the trees and are
naturally camouflaged by algae that
grows tn their fur and makes them
vinuaUy invisible to would-be predators," Mendel said . Once th e~ are found ,
however, their slow movements and
small : home ranges" make them easier to
observe and study than other inhabitants
of the forest.
With D r. G. Gene Montgomery, the
only other researcher to specialize in
studying habits and adaptations o! wild
sloths, Mendel plans to establish a
network of cables among crowns of trees
where sloths are known to live.
Riding a pedal-driven gondola,
designed and built by UI B Health
Sciences Instrument Shops' supervisor

Mendel with o ne of U/ B's sloths.

William Tanski, Mendel will be able to
observe closely a nd photograph )low and
where sloths carry out various activities.
This information, gained from a
precarious perch in the gondola up to 100
feet high a midst the foliage, will later be
stored and analyzed via computer.
During the course of planned research
on Barro Colorado, Mendel and
Montgomery will capture many sloths,
attach radio transmitters around their
necks and release them to continue their
activities and travels, whic h will be
tracked , recorded and analyzed .
..The information we hope to gain from
this two-year project will tell us a great
deal about how sloths use their a natomy
relative to their environment and may tell
something about why and where
elemen ts of humap. a natomy, such as the
should er, evolved," Mendel ex plained.
Humans, like all other animals,
including sloths, have evolved via chance
and natural selection and continue to
change over time as environments
change. Thus, some human medical and
dental problems of today - such as _.im pacted wisdom teeth - are legacies of
our earlier ancestors' adaptations,
Mendel explained.
At one time, the jaws of huma n
fore b ears were larger and easily
accommodated the third molars, or
"wisdom" teeth. Indeed, these teeth were
useful to our ancestors because they used
them to actua l1y break up raw foods as
well as chew them. But the third molars
were rendered unnecessary with the
advent of fire and tools.
Subseq uently, ~hrough time, the jaw
became smaller, crowding out the
wisdom teet h.
Humans still chanclnc
.
The human species is still changing,
Mendel noted . Environments change
cominuously and unpredictably and
orp.nisms must continue to adjust. Most
organisms, he po i nted out, · are
successful fora time but ultimately fail to
keep pace and become extinct.
Meanwhile, the Ul B ~ths continue to
be the focal point .of his research. In
conjunction w1th Drs. David Pendergast,
UI B associate professor of phy•iology,
and James Spotilla, Buffalo State
Colleje biology professor, Mendel is
studymg Patricia, Carol and Nastase to
determine if there is a relationship
between. the animals' ·peculiarly slow

metabolism and the way they use their
equally peculiar anatomy.
In a specially designed pool in the Ul B
Depanment of Physiology, where human
physiology is usually ljllder scientific
scru tiny, these researchers ha ve observed
that sloths swim in a sort of lazy ..slot h"
paddle, suggesting they may migrate via
waterways. They also can fl oat despite
the fact they don' store fat.
.. These studies." Pendergast said, ..wiU
give us information as to how a natomy
and metabolism are related to e nergy
expended for activity. which may the n
tell us how these factors rela te to energy
expenditure in other animals, perhaps
including humans."
The sloths help the anatomy program
The three UI B sloths and other animals
also have roles in the teaching program
in the School of Med icine where they are
used to einphasize relationships and
functions of various bod y parts.
As an anatomy professor who teaches
medical and dental students, Mendel
believes these future health professionals
need to learn not j ust the names of human
body pans but also how the pans
•
funct io n.
"Some time spe nt on the stud y of
animal models which have capabilities
similar to those of humans can be used to
teach this, .. he said.
Occasionally, as a supplement to the
course, Mendel takes interes ted st udents
to the Buffalo Zoo to augment teaching
materials in the classroom.
..Oinicians, who also teach in the
anatomy courses, frequently single out
various medical problems that occur over
and over, suggesting. faulty design of
certain bndy pans," he said.
·
"Studies such a s those on sloths tell us
the de•i!n is not necessarily faulty, but
that these parts sometimes fail because
they are no lOnger serving their original
function in their current environment,"
Mendel added.
·
It is possible, by studying the design or
body pans and understauding bow they
evolVed, t\!&amp;t better prostheses could be
developed to replace miSSins arms and
other limbs.
To insure adequate populaiions of
sloths for study without runherdepleting
wild populations, a breeding ananaement between UI B and Cbicqo's
Lincoln Park Zoo is beina D&lt;gotiated

Scott, adding that Gommercial • radio
stations "just don' do the ~ob we (public
rad io stations) do" in offering depth of
news coverage and authoritative
commentary by well-informed experts,
like people from the University.

the world!s future: -will it work?

By J:ii)uG CARPENTER
For all the world's problems, people still
managC to summon up, if not optimis~
then at least hope for the future. Often
that hope is tied to the pro~e that
... Science will find an answer," like some
divine interverltion. Since this attitude
springs so eternal, w~ asked the dean of
U/ B's Faculty of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, Dr. Duwayne Anderson,
for a preview of America's technological
agenda for the next IS to 20 years.
Anderson was, by his own admission,
not his usual, optimistic self. He explained that , while many significant
scientific developments could be expected to surface during the next decade or
two, scien!ific .. breakthroughs .. are much
the same as .. overnight" successes in show
. businessi the product of many years of
bard work and sacrifice.
There ire, however, some good indicators of positive change, he allowed. The
Oight of the space shuttle, Columbia,
itself the result of a dozen years of
research and development, showed that
American technology is still innovative
and competitive.
Sisns are also good, he believ~ fur
this couqtry and perhaps the world to
achieve energy self-sufficiency by the end
of the century.
"ln a technologicaJ sense ... he adds. "it
would have been possible for us to be
energy self-sufficient in the ,United States
· now, all these yea'l. There is no real
'-reason why, from a ,purely technical point
of view, we had to fall b&lt;;hind."
Anderson feels the blame for such
technological footdragging must be
shared. Poor political decision-making,
the disruptions of the socially turbulent
1960's and. simple fear caused us to
mismanag.c our priorities . There are,
however. priorities we cannot ignore
indefmtely. Arul, says Anderson, we shall
Jlot.

Anderson foresees America placing a
space station i}l Earth orbit by the year
2000. This, he explains, will open access
to .. the ultimate, limitless, pollution-free,
environmentally safe source of energy, ..
solar power, collected in space and
bea_]Ded to the' Earth. While this may
defuse the worldwide struggle over
energy, there will naturally be less benign
applications of the same technology.
Death rays from space
As the dime novels of 30 years ago
depicted, Anderson laments. we will have
"death rays from space. It is already a
reality," he says, "and will very likely be
deployed out there quite soon."
· Although the ray, a hish intensity
particle beam powered by solar energy,
could easily be turned on satellites and
ground targets of adversaries, Anderson
suggests that its use will be restrained by
the aame survival instincts that have kept
the world from being plunged into
nuclear conflict the many times we have
previously teetered at the brink..
"But it will be' there, and it will be a
threat. •• he says ... There's no getting
around that. So, apin, we're going to
have to envision a future that has its
militaristic side as well as its more gentle
and humane side ...
Technology. Giving with one hand and.
taking with the other. It will give us
computers that, in 20 years, will have
achieved light •peed ioformation processing capabihty, but may create a
society dependent upon machines to do
elemental work. Contrary to our hope
that science will improve our lives.
Anderson suggests that they will "prob•ably be made worse if we don' get better
control of it...
..,.
The a"''uisil.ion of knowledge hu long
been cooa1dered the moat noble of human
punuits. Futurist Herman Kahn ·warns,
howeYer, that our increued urulerstaoding ud the technology it haa SJI!IWned are
tlmilening to create "an over.:e.tucated,
uoderutiliied citizenry." Knowledp: for
knowledae's sake? Perhaps. But as

new fuel shortage phenomenon ... He told
his questioner to expect gas prices to
jump dramatica11y, car pooling to
become· common, gas rationing to
become intermittently necessary and
automakers to abandon the .. big" car in
favor of the more fuel-efficient subcompact. He was quite emphatic.
Well, as hard as that was to believe in
1973, it turned out that Paaswell was
right. No more than three years had
passed before we were. indeed, in the
throes of a genuine Crisis over en~rgy
· co nsumption and policy. Not one to rest
on his laurels, Paaswell consented to join
our panel and speculate on the future of
our cities.
Given tftat premise, Paaswell first
acknowledged that he and other planners
like him are faced today with a bit of a
dilemma: .. We're not investing in this
country in long-term rt:search anymore,
and as a result, the country isn't even
questioning what its long-term prpblems
are going to be ...
It 's certainly not for lack of them.
however. And the ,checklist Paaswell
offered was only the beginning. At the
top of Paaswell's list is America 's
unwillingness to invest in new development.
·•The business sc hool approach is too
bottom-line oriented , •• Paaswell contends . .. Engineers and entrepreneurs have
been repla ced by accountants and
lawyers. who say to a corporation, rather
than lookS or 10 yeais down the road to
think of some fantastic new product to
develop, •what we're going to do is invest
our money in another company, or we11
invest in Korea. •
.. The whole nature of industrial
development in America has changed ,"
he observes, .. with more buying and
selling of companies than development of
ne~ products."
Gradual surrender to Japan
What this will mean fpr the U.S. in the
long run; Paaswell asserts, will be the
gradual surre nder of markets throughout
the world to countries like Japan and
West Germany, who have established
solid programs of research and development. Factor in the countries of Eastern
Europe and the Third World , and
Paaswell's projection of world economic
competition is a crowded field.
In fact, he points out, we don't even
educate ourselves or our children to
compete iO what has become, like it or
not, a worldwide economic. social and
political a.r ena. In-foreign countries, he
explains, children. begin studying math,
physics, even foreign languages as early
as the first grade.
"We're in a very highly technological
age," PaasweiJ notes. "People have to
have an understanding of math and begin
to set a sense of what computers are
goiliJ, to mean in their lives."
In Ole world of 1995, Paaswcllspeculatea, our failuruo ~tablilh "national
prioritic:t.. now could translate in aa
America ltalldi111 rar· befow its praent
stalua amollJ raokiJII wortd political aDd
economic powers.
Paaswell'llilt p 1 on. The ma;cir cities

of the northeast. he· predicts , will
continue to s hrink as the flight of
businesses to the suburbs and out of the
region entirely to the southwest continues. Paaswell ex peds that houses will
gradually become smaller, with condominium and townhouse style developments
here to stay. Paaswell beijeves, by the
way, that "we're probably funher from
the Buck Rogers type city of the future.
with towering megacomplexes a nd
moving sidewalks, than we were 20 years
ago." The trend,. he expects, will continue
to be out rather than up.
OnC of "the biggest mistakes the
government is making today. Paaswell
stresses, is its elimination of America's
railroad sys tem . Terming its loss "a
disaster." he believes that .. tremendous
investment should be made to electrify
rail in the northeast, to modernize it an d
make it high speed, and te run it on
electricit y from coal -based generating
plants. It's certainly a lot cheaper than
operating jet planes."
'
" I find it beyond belief that we're
getting rid of the railroad industry in this
country," he says, adaing, .. we're going to
wake up in 15 years sorry that we've done
it, and th(;n not be able to afford to redo
it."

We asked him what to worry about. He
repeated: research and development. and
world markets, and competitive education, and the dying railroads. He was
emphatic about the railroads.

demands for food, energy and water are
going to come to an ultimate confrontation, Milbrath observes, adding that, by .
1995, there will be scarcity, and some will
have to suffer.
Basic stumbling block
Perhaps . t~e ·g reatest stumbling block
Milbrath sees for America in solving its
problems is a basic disagreement in
society over how things work. There are
those who believe in the con tinued
development of the current energyintensive America that has brought us to
our high level of depenpency up Qn
foreign oil and other reso,u~hey)lre-··n
at odds, says Milbrath, -with w'lroi he j
describes as .. transformationalists," who
are looking for a return to the kind of
labor-intensive economy that coUld be
sustained by the manpower of America
and a modest investment of resources.
Our pFCsent system, based on high
energy extraction to support high energy
cons umpt ion technology, simply does
not work, contends Milbrath . His
reasons are persuasive: inadequate
energy supply; the inevitable reduction of
our environment's .. carrying capacity,"
its basic ability to sustain life;, and the cost
to society in the mou-nting number of
fatali ties due to pollutants and industrial
accidents.
And where do we look for deliverance
from these difficulties, he asks? Why, to
the very technology that brought us to the
environmentaf crossroads.
.. Faith in technology in this co unt ry, ..
he points out, is, quite phenomenally a
new religion, in the sense that people have
such unshakeable confidence in it. It is
also religious in that people believe it to
be so benign. That is something they will
have to learn is false."
· Milbrath's visio n of th~ environment
of the 1990's? His prognosis 10hould be
fairly accurate. Whatever crop of hea1th
hazards and chemical contaminants we
will harvest toward the end of this
century has already been planted, he
explains.
..The consequences of breathing contaminated air or drinking contaminated
water may not showup profoundly for IS
or 20 years," he says.

No more plenty
Not that each of our .. speculators" is not
emphatic:--You11 note, as well, that each
of their subject areas tends to spill over
into the others. Perhaps the quintessential example of the issue th!lt ultimately
touches all our lives is environmental
quality.
People have been sounding warnings
over our cavalier attitude toward resource management for years. Dr. Lester
W. Milbrath, director of U/ B's Enviroramenta'l Studies Center, says that we
have now begun to hear perhaps the most
articulate a·rgument of all. as the
environment itself makes the strongest
case for conservation by simply running
out of resources.
Oil was the first to be dramatically

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

pon rail of Cora P. Maloney:..

Cora p-.. Maloney College getting 'new life'
-111'808 MARLETT

By night, Jewell Parker Rhodes writes,
squirreling herself away to work on her
novel - the story of Marie LaVeaux, a
19th century Louisiana Vodoo queen
who lwisted that once valid religious
form into, an instrument of terror and
intimidation in order to gain power
against whites who had contrived to
make blacks politically and socially
impotent.
By day, Rhodes is an administrator,
the new master of Cora P. Maloney College - that unit within the U f B Collegiate System which addresses the needs
and concerns of still powerless inner city
citizens, minorities and the poor. The
College, incidentally, is named for a 20th
century heroine, the first woman and the
first blaCk ever to serve on the Buffalo
Common Council. A pharmacist and
medical technologist, Cora P. Maloney
held office from 1957 to her death in
1961 , striving for the improvement of ·
social conditions and the enrichment of
community life.
Her namesake college is dedicated to
the same sort of striving. CPM 's central
concern is meaningful, -enjoyable educalion, but the College also l'romotes the
sellrcb for solutions to urban problems. It
encot,u ages students to get out into the
community and help malce ~changes . Or
so it was designed to do.
CPM had been floundering in recent
years. Maybe there wasn' enough support [rom the .Uuiv.:rsity. ~Ma.ybe the ied- .
entary 70s simply did not lend themselves
-·,o activist education . Perhaps minority
students and the minority communJty
didn' view tbest(Jlcture and the program
as truly theirs.
New life
.
Whatever, the 'Collegiate administration
last year took.sleps to breathe life back
ioto CPM. The c:utriculum was restructured; the community board, reorganized; the charter, rewritten, with a mandate to build bridges to the community.
Ms. Rhodes (who had been teaching
creative .writins and women's studies at
the University of Maryland for the past
two yean) was ...Cruited as master. She
brinp a "delishtful enerJY" to tbe job,
Dean Murray Schwartz bas said. He's
riJht. She bubbles.
8nsy, sharp-minded and bript~yed,
Ms. Rhodes is on the scene m Far&amp;o
Quad- occasionally from early morning
to late even ina if a social or academic
event requires. "Sometimes when I'm
hereat8:30,a'studentwilljustcomeinto
the oltic:e ond sit," Ms. Rhodes notes.
"They're lonely, somebow.Bat not for long. Aicled by two residential propu1 coordinators - Ed Nieves;
an RilpUlc lfad lludellt, anlt Cor'aditis
Moon:, a black senior underJraduate -

and academic coordinator William
Parker, a third-year law student, Ms.
Rhodes has set in motion an a_mbitious
agenda of events and educational activi·
ties for what she hopes will become a
.. multiethnic" minority clientele.
Rhodes uses the term .. multiethnic" a
lot. That means, she says, that Cora P.
Maloney - w!lile rooted in the black
experience - is just as concerned" with
the pligh t of other urban minorities, and
with the situation of Caribbean students,
to whom it wishes also to reach out.
The college and its resid ent ial program
a re not .. se&amp; regated" in any se nse.
Anyone with an interest in the theme area
is invited to affiliate.
An integral part of the CPM structure
is its 25-me_mber community policy board
which draws members from both community organizations and cam pus.
Daniel Acker, head of the local
NAAC P, is an administrative officer of
. the College, serving as chairman of the
community policy board. Acker, along
with Bill Parker, is responsi ble for keeping the College alive·last yea r, Rhodes
says.
- The board advises the master on policy; suggests ways and means to develop

Recent 'incide!Jts create heightened
awa_reness· and co~cern· for campus safety
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
Two attacks on female students within
the last few weeks have led to a neightened awareness of potential problems on
campus, Lee Griffin, director of public
safety, feels.
Griffin and-meml&gt;ers of the · Public
Saf~y force met witll persons who"work
and study in Cooke-ijochstetter last
week after an assault and attempted rape
were committed on a female student in a
first floor ladies restroom. The discussion
focused around safety issues.
.. We do our best to respond to such
concern." Griffin commented. uwe•re
asking our people to be more "visible on
campus; since one of the complaints
made at the meeting was that people
don't see enough of our officers. The
problem in Cooke is the · nature of the
building; when people are working, they
can•t.see the doorway to notice when the
officers walk by. Now we will have the
officers stick their heads in tlie door to
make people aware of ~heir presence.··
Griffin .noted, however, that reseat.ch
in law enforcement has shown that the
presence of upiformea patrols does not-in
itself provide a deterrent to crime. It·does
lend a perception of personal safety to ·
people within a certain area, and so Public Safety officers '!"ill try to become more
visible in all the camp)IS buildings, he
said.
·

unfounded.
"These reports get vague when we try
to track them down," he said, adding that
census data sho1&amp;Lthat for every rape that
is reported, one is not. Griffin feels,
though, that such an effective informal
communications network exists among
Housing staff and resident advisors in the
dormitories that Public Safety will hear
of any incident that occurs.
/ .
"Anybody who lives in the dorms
knows very little can occur without
everybody knowing about it," he commented.
.
The School of Management conducts a
periodic survey for Public Safety on personal -secUrity perceptions on campus.
The last one, done about a year ago,
found that the places people fear most on
campus are elevators and restrooms.
•• An interesting differen ce, " Griffin
pointed out, "'is that on the Main Street
Campus, people feel safer outside the
buildings than inside, proba bly because
of the high population density, while on
th e Amherst Campus, people feel safe
inside, probably because of the openness
there."

Always rumon
There are ,always a lot of rumors circulat ing on campus about rapes having
occurred, Griffin noted, but said last year
only two
were actually reported to
his
one later

Virtually impossible.l&lt;l secure everything
Adding to safety problems on campus is
the .. virtual impossibility .. of securing all
buildings during non-working hours .
Griffin said. In a research facility like
Cooke-Hochstetter, faculty and / or students are almost always found working
late at night. And very often people prop
doors open vlith rocks or books.

l.ccGrirfin

Contributing to the feeling of insecurity outside buildings at Amherst is the
design of the cam pus, Griffin added.
••The architects were thinking of hiding
vehicles from sight for aesthetic reasons. •·
he said, .. but the isolation of the parking
lots makes people feel less secure."

Another factor is simply the size of the
campus population. People don't know
everyone in their building; often. familiarity is limited to persons within a
department. Griffin said his officers do
get reports of unfamiliar perso ns lurking
around specific research areas and that
his people are good at spotting nonstudents wandering the campuses.
The Cooke Hall assailant, investigators believe, was a transient who wandered on campus and secreted himself in
the ladies room. (He was last seen heading down Niagara Falls Boulevard on a
Metro Bus.) Griffip believes the man may
have entered the buildingjust to go to.the
john. since it was located close to the

outside entrance, and decided spontane·
ously to make the atthck when the lone
yo ung woman entered the room.
Griffin urged women to take advantage oft he programs available on campus
for self-defense or awareness in safety.
And he stressed the importance of reporting any assault. attempt at assault. or
even feeling threatened.
.. Our first concern is ·always the victim," he said. adding that in 3ddition to
officers trained in handling traumatized
victims of crime, facilities are available
on campus for counseling afterward , citing the Sexuality Center which offers
many services to vic tims of sexual
assault.
Ironically. concern for the victim
sometimes makes the officer job harder.
Griffin said . if questioning for clues and
details must be postponed because of the
victim's stat~ of mind.
Griffin pointed out that after the latest
assault. Public Safety officers combed
campus buildings and dorms looking for
the assailant, .. even though th9y themselves were unarmed and were searching
for a man known to be armed with a
knife."
Numbers vary
number of safety officers patrolling
the campuses varies with different time
periods. Gfiffin said.
.. The most active time period is 6 p.m.
to 2 a.m .. with the bulk of our personnel

patrol of six officers a d one lieutenant
whose prime task is t patrof the dorms
and protect the residents. If it''s a busy
night , the people working the dorm
patrol are held over to supplement the
midnight shift."
Responding to criticism from some
quarters that Uf !l's Public.Safety officers
are overly concerned with the issuance of
parking tickets, Griffin stated, Mit's only
at a time like this when '!'e have a personal assault on campus that we hear
such complaints. The remainder of the
year we get numerous complaints from
people who don' believe we epforce the
parking rules strictly enough. Anyone
who is here for a few years realizes the
necessi ty of parking controls ~and the
issuance of tags for compliance."
Griffin added that his department
issues approximately 10,000 parking
tickets a year, compared to about 40,000
issued at Albany or Stony Brook, both
schools that have smaller populations.
" Parking is not our number one priority." he stated em phatically. "tt never has

Crime rate low
U/ B's crime rate is actuaJly quite low,
even when compared to schools of

Griffin said.
According to the FBI Uniform Crim•
R•port of 1980. the most recent available,
U/ B had nine reported viole nt crimes and
two forcible rapes. SUNY at Albuy,
with less than half U/ B's campus population, had 16'violent crimes reported, and
Stony Brook had 16 violent crimes and
one rape.
The University of California at Berkeley. which has a comparably·sized campus population. reponed 59 violent

International Center will fill gap left by College

An ln~errlational Center has formally
been established to provide a forum for
cross-cultural student exchange and help
fill soine programmatic voids 1eft by the
' defunct International College (IQ.
The Center, now fuoded almost
exclusively by Student Affairs, resulted
from recommendations by a committee
formed last summer which explored if
and how any of IC's activities could be
continued through University offices
other: than the Colleges. The coritmjuee,
chaired by Dr. Arithony Lorenz~ti,
associate VP for Student Affairs,
included representatives from the.
Colleges and the VPAA 's office, among
others.

The new Center will. not attempt to
offercredit-bearingcourses;rather,itwill
focus on programs which can fostef
cultural exchange and friendly diaiOJ!Ue
between American and international
students and faculty. Dr. Genevieve
James, who received praise for her work
at. coord_inator of IC, has been
temp~rarily appointed to a part-time
position as .director of the Center. A
permanent appointment awaits a formal
search procedure.
In ac!_dition to James. the Center is
staffed by a part-time secretary and a
graduate assistant, and is housed in a
three-room suite on the third floor of Red

Prof~ranklin

·being honored
by Tulane

Professor Mitchell Franklin, who bas
been professor emeritus here for nearly
ten years, is beins honored this fall at
Tulane Un'ivenity in New Orleans.
Franklin, who was awarded the A.B. in
1922, t~ J .D. in 1925, and the s.rD. itt
1928 - all at Harvard University·- bas
recently bad the Tuhine lAw Reviewdedic.ited to him and in October.will have his
portrait unveiled at that university. In
1978 be was awarded the L.L.D. by the
same institution.
_
A student of Roscoe Pound and Felix
Frankfurter, Franklin's later -views were
mentioned favorably by the late Supreme
Couri J ustic:e Wjlliarn 0 . Douglas. And it
was tbe view of Supreme Court Justice
Felix Frankfurter that Franldi.n's reporting on the Saeco-Vanzetti case· was the
m'ost accurate and illuminating to appear
in the late 1920's.
Franklin served in the United States
Armed Forces in the first and second
World War (as private and as Lt.
Colonel), then became assoCiated with
the United Nations Relief Administration in Europe ~ be served in Italy
and elsewhere. He became a reporter at
the Comparative Law Congresses in the
Hague, London, and Paris. In 1958 he
received the Franklin D . Roosevelt
Award from the National Lawyers'Guild
for meritorious service to his country.
As a legal scholar, historian, and philosopher, Franklin has an international
rep.utation for research. Widely known as
a scholar and a writer on Roman law, and
Marxism, and America's leading r.esearcb professor on the ramifications of
Hegel's philosophy of law and Hegelian
dialectics, Franldin is giving a seminar on
campus this fall on Hegel. This is a continuation of his work at Tulane where be
held the lrby Chair of Law from the early
thirties ufttill976 after-which became to
Buffalo. From that time until his retirement be was professor of philosophy and
law .bere. This appointment was the first
of its kind approved
in Buffalo in 100
1
yean.
Franklin's extensive publications
appear in Russian, French,· and Italian.
·His work bas been favorably regarded in
various socialist countries where legal
scholars consider him to be a progressive
who bas encouraged East-West detente.
His writings on Marxism and its histori·
cal development are regarded to be valu.
able by comparative jurists in this coun·
try and abroad.
.
Professor Franklin ma kes his resi·
dence in Buffalo and continues to advise
philosophy, la"!; and other graduate students in the fields of Marxism, Hegelianism, Neo·Kantian~m, Roman and com·
parative law. He has continued to serve
on doctoral committees in the Department of Pbilosopby since becoming an
emeritus professor.

College H teaching sign language
The College of Health and Human
Services (Colleg H) has received a
S25,000 grant from the Gebbie
Foundation to develop an accredited
progra m in deaf com munication that
would prepare graduates for certificati on
by the Registry of Interpreters for the
Deaf (RID).
Dr. Lee Dryden, master'of College .H
and project director, is consulting with
the local chapter of RID and the staff of
St. Mary•s Schoo!for t he Deaf to develop
over the next three years a six-tiered
program to enable students not only to
learn sign language, but also to
understand the phenomena of deafness
and realize the social and psyc hological
needs of the deaf.
Sixty students are enrolled this
se mester in the introductory-level course,
which is being taught by Patricia
O'Donnell. a teacher at St. Mary's, and
Cathy Hess, who recently moved here

from Tennessee a nd has taught sign
language for the past six years; IS
students are enrolled in the second-level
course , taught by Cathie Smith . the
director of the School for the Future, an
outreach program at St. Mary's.
Two years ago, College H began
offering a communication and the deaf
co urse, taught by Dee Schweitzer, aU 1B
graduate student majoring in communica ti ve disOrders and sciences.
Last semester, Sister Virginia Voting, a
teacher ar St. Ma ry•s, taught the popular
course. Forty of her students petitioned
College H to extend the offerings in deaf
comm ulication.
Knowing the student demand, Dryden
and the grant committee, whose members
included Bertha N. Cutcher, coOrdinator
of the Office of Services for the
Handicapped; Linda A. Holt, di rector of
the Speech and Hearing Clinic a nd Mary
B. Mann, chair of Communicative

Diso rders and Sciences; Arthur L.
Kaiser, chair of Curriculum Development and Instruct ional Media; Shirley A.
Ahrens, assis tant d irector of Summer
Sessions; and Cathie Smith and Cathy
Fries, teachers at St. Mary's, discovered
the need within the human service
professio nal community in Western New
Yo rk to acqui re signing skills. A clinical
psychologist at Erie County Medical
Center told Dryden he needed to learn
signs to communicate with his deaf
clients.
Five community professionals are
students in the program. All ot hers a re

Northeast's ·only quake
simulator being set-up
on campus for $950,000
The only earthquake simulator in the
northeastern United States will be
installed here during the next year at a
cost of almost $1 million, President
Robert L. Ketter has announced.
The Biaxial Seismic Testing System,.to
be placed in tbe new Engineering-West
building at Amherst; has been'approved
for state funding of$985,761. The system
is said to represent the most versatile
seismic simulator in North America.
Because of the expense arld uniqueness
of the earthquake -simulator, SUNY
Central and the Division of the Budget
approved the allocation of extra capital
equipment money for the purchase of the
system.
..This new system will allow us to rDeet
a national need in the training of
structural engine.ers who can do
sophisticated designs," Dr. George C.
Lee, dean of the Faculty of Engineering
and Applied 'Sciences, commented. "The
.present trend in structural and
geotechnical engineering is to emphasize
the design of structures and other manmade systems to resist dynamic forces .
"Among the most important dynamic
forces civil engineers face,"' he continUed,
..are ground motions resulting from
shocks, earthquakes, wind, ice, snow.
hydraulic forces and explosives."
Western New York is a hi&amp;b risk zone
Lee added that the most recent U.S.
government seismic risk map designating

regions of the country classified as high
earthquake risk zones includes many
regions in northern and western Ne.w
York State.
Upon completion, U/ B's will be the
Dnly dvil engineering education program
in the eastern U.S. to possess a major
earth&lt;juake simulation facility.
.. W1th this facility, major research
work in earthquake engineering is
anticipated," Dr. Antti Talvitie, t:hair of
the Department of Civil Engineering,
said ... Although we will continue with our
theoretical research, future emphasis will
be given to experimental studies through
the use of this research facility...
Lee added that while a major part of
the research done with the new
equipment will be in structural
engineeri ng, there will be much
collaborative usage with va riou s
engineering departments and nonengineering units such as U I B's
Department of Geological Sciences. The
facility will also allow industrial testing
of such devices as underground
equipment, structural components and
plant designs.
Largest U/B purchase order
William Johnson, UI B equipment
coordinator who negotiated the contract
between the University and the MTS
Systems Corporation of Minneapolis

which is constructing the system, notes
that the $985,761 contract represents ihe
largest dollar volume purchase order for
a single item ever processed at UI B ~
Of the 15 similar systems that exist in
the world, only five are located in the

u.s.

The system consists of a 12' by 12'table
constructed of ferrocement•which can be
moved six inches vertically and 12 inches
horizontally by servocontrolled electrohydraulic actuators controlled by a
computer. While the shaking table at
U1B will be smaller in· size than other
U.S. installations (the University of
California / Berkeley has the largest table,
which is 20' by 20'), it will far exceed any
other U.S. simulator and most of the
foreign ones in its ability to produce
greater forces in the horizontal and
vertical planes and produce them at
greater frequency, Lee explained. The
table will be able to vibrate at a speed so
great as to be invisible to the human eye.
Can support lO tons
The table will be able to support a model
of a building, for example, that weighs up
to 20 tons and is as high as a three-story
building, Johnson added. It can he
programmed to simulate various types of
movements such as those caused by wind
or random movements caused by
earthquakes.
He noted that the building that will
house the system was itself specially
constructed to make it vibration-free.
Placed on bedrock, its foundation pit has
more steel buried in the concrete than
most skyscrapers have in their entire
structure. A sophisticated cooling set-up
is employed in the building's hydraulics
system to cope with the heat generated by
the movement of the actuators.
The entire system will be custom-built
by MTS engineers who have worked"with
U 1B faculty members for three years on
the design of both the building and the
earthquake simulator. Installation of the
system, expected to begin in October, will
take about a year to complete.
The Kajima Institute of Construction
Technology in Japan has the world 's
most advanced system, to which the UI B
system will be comparable, Lee noted .
While Berkeley has the largest table, it
can move only six inches horizontally
and two inches vertically. The University
of Illinois / Urbana and the U.S. Army
Construction Engineering Research
Laboratory at Champaign, Illinois, have
tables .the same size as U I B's, but the
Urbana system is only a single
(horizontal) table with two-inch total
stroke capability for testing loads of no
more than 4.5 tons. The other was
developed to produce ground shock
conditions on military equipment.
Neither of these can deli ver the low
frequency, high velocity vibrations
planned at the UI B installation.

Arna revisited
Modern adaptations have
changed things for
diving women of Korea
By UNDA GRACE-KOBAS
The ama. women divers on the coasts of
Korea and Japan whose ability to
withstand cold water temperatures in
extended, unaided dives bas long
astounded scientists, seem to have lost
some of their abilities during. the last 20
years becausetbey have succumbed tb the
temptations of modem life and begun to·
wear gear such as wet sUits and face
masks.
This conclusion was reached by a trio
of UI B scientists who have been studying
the onto and their adaptations. to cold
water for more than 10 years. They
described their research to a group of
• more than 50 people in a seminar
sponsored by the Physiolo,gy Department last Friday in Sherman Hall .
Drs. Suk Ki Hong and Hermann Rahn
spent several weeks in Ko= this summer
studying the modern habits a11d
physiology of the ama to compare them
to those they found when they began this
project ·in 1960. Their work was conducted near the coastal city of Pusan,
where their shoreline laboratory and sea
experiments were carried out under the
constant Vigila nce of armed guards who
watch the coast for any unwelcome
visitors fmm the north.
It started in 1958
Hong described the beginning of the
group's collaboration by noting that he
was approached by Rahn in 1958. Hong
had been in Buffalo fortwo years and was
returning to Korea. Rahn suggested that
the two apply to the N~tional Science
Foundation for a grant to study the
respiratory physiology of the ama. The
st ud y was fuoded and Hong began what
was to have been a two-year project. ·
Hong at that time documented the cold
adaptation of the ama, who could
withstand tempc;ratures as cold as 10
degrees for almost a half-hour wearing
nothing but white cotton " bathing suits"
of loose shirts and shorts.
When he returned to Korea three years
ago, Hong said he found that the ama
now wear wet suits and complained that
without them, the water was too cold to
go into. He wondered what had caused
this change. Had the ama now lost their
cold adaptation? This is the focus of the
current studies.
Dr. Donald Rennie joined the Hong
and Rahn project in 1960 after he had
completed a study on the cold adaptation
of the Alaskan eskimos. Noting that in
humans, temperature regulation is
achieved by heat flux from the inside out,
he explained how the researchers
determined the ama :S Critical Water
Temperature (CWl), the coldest water
temperature a person can endure for
three hours without shivering, and their
maximal tissue insulation. They
compared the CWT as a function of
subcutaneous fat thickness (SFI) in the
ama. nondiving Koreans and American
subjects.
·
They found that for a given fat
thickness, the ama were able to develop
greater skin insulation than the
nondiving controls. Eskimos, on the
other hand, had a SO per cent shivering
rate in water as wann as 33° C.
The a.ma :S ..enormous" tolerance to
cold water 20 yean ago was attributed to
such'facton as a pester depth in muscle
thickness and an increase 10 their basal
metabolic rates, Rennie said.

..The ania seem to have lost their
vascular adaptation but they have
retained an elevated shivering threshhold," Rennie said. He plans to travel to
Korea this summer to continue the
studies.
A little romance
After Rennie's somewhat technical
description of the ama studies, Rahn
attempted to put some ..romance," as he
put it, into the account by displaying
slides showing the ama in their ancient
garb of loin cloth and nothing else. He
contrasted this view with the amaas they
are today in black wetsuits and face
masks, looking more like "people from
Mars" than the lithesome figures they
once were.
"They lost their adaptive abilities
because they began to put things on,"
Rahn said.
Contrary to popular cpnception, he
noted, the ama are not Mpearl davers" but
go into the sea for food . There are two
types of divers: the cachido, who dive 15
to 20 feet down, using floats to rest on,
and the .funado, a more sophisticated
group who utilize boats and husbands.
The funado go to 60 feet, where the water
pressure is three atmospheres, using
weights to talce them down. The
husbands work a pulley in a boat to pull
them up by rope.
In Korea last · summer, the U/ B
researchers, working with Korean
colleagues, measured the a""' 's metabolic rates and skin temperatures before
and after ocun dives. To d!l this, they
followed the ama into the pounding surf
with instrumentation to do the tests.
Laboratory tests which had the ai7U1
sitting in water tanks fo.r three hours at a
time were also&lt;:onducted.

system did exist. Moreover, it didn' take
long for the criminal justice system as a
whole to be quest!oned, also.
After 10 years, U/ B instructor June
Licence still questions tbe system.
Licence is a program coordinator for
the American Studies Department and is
currently teaching a oour:se concerned
with the criminal juotice system locally.
The course is entitled "The Differential
Administration of Justice in Buffalo"
(listed as AMS / MFC446), meeting every
Monday night on the Main Street
Campus.

•
Wbat juotlce means
Licence ..s main plU])Ose in teaching this
course is to •provide tfie student with a
sense of what justice really means.~
• Justice should be
within its social
and historical contexc, ~ Licence says. "It
does not occur within a vacuum. We have
to see how justice is related to different
institutions in our society and how race,
cl!"',, and sex are 'differentially' reflected
wrtbin our system."
Licence feels the best way to rrovide
the student with a broader view o jllltice
u *leamiJI&amp; by involYCIIICilt, • rather than
atalldarcl lect- format.

more receptive to information.
Initially, the breathing exercises
should be done daily at 'least once in the
morning and once in the evening for a
· minimu·m of five minutes each time. It is a
cumulative- process, Toomey says. The
more it is practiced, the easier it becomes.

breathing exercises. One should acquaint
himself with the material to be leamed,
then review it while listening to Baroque
music, which has a count of 60 beats per
minute. As the individual inhales at a
coun t of eight, holds for a count of eight,
and then exhales for a co unt of ~ight,
someone should deliver the information
to him or her during the intermediate
phase. The student should simply receive
t}le information, Toomey says, with out
analyzing it.
This process reduces the amount of
time spent reading; rereading and
memorizing material and it also sharpens
the a bility to recall it, she claims.

researching brain processes concludes
that people know a lo1 of data they do.not
consciously realize they know, Toomey
reports.
Quoting a statistic that states people
utilize .only 10 per cent of their brain
capacity, Toomey says, .. We all have a
tremendous potential that we are not
using. We need to learn how to be
telepathic."
.
Dr. Pa ul Kurtz, a U/ B philosophy
professor, .however, challenges the belief
in any psychic phenomella.
Psychic research. which is only nOw
being co nducted in the United States. has
been going on behind the Iron Curtain
for the past 30 years. Since the late 1950s,
Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian physician
and psychiatrist, has o:esearched psychic
phenomena and suCCessfully Use d
breathing a!Jd auto-suggestive techniques .

to urge the mind to give the body
instructions on how to heal itself.
Olympic co..;petitors use the te&lt;:hniques
The Superlearning theory is also being
used, Toomey · says, by some Olympic
competitors who say they see significant
improvements in their abilities si nce
training with these techniques.
People must first harmonize their
bodies, Toomey says - something which
is accomplished by synchro ni zing
their breathing and heart beats. By first
pOsitioning the body either flat on the
floor with feet higher than the head,
straight in a Chair with legs uncrossed and
feet on the floor, or curled into the Yoga
position, and then inhaling deeply a nd
exhaling slowly, the individual can
regulate his or her heart at 60 beats per
minute.
Relaxing the body persuades the mind

In 1975, Dr. Ray Benitez-Barden and
Dr. Donald Schuster, psychology
professors at the University of Iowa;
conducted a program where students in a
Spanish class used these techniques. The
professors found that within a 40 hour
study time - 10 four-hour sessions - the
students learned a full year of Sp~nish .
Using breathing and auto-suggestive
techniqu es (which basically entails pep
talking yourself), ~Q.l! ca n eliminate .
stress, says Toomey. ~he likens stress to
noise in the system that blocks the
subcon scious from searching for and
retrieving informatio n.
..
Apologizing that the two.hours a lloted
for her lecture only introduced the
theory, Toomey advised those interested
to ,read the book, Superlear.ning, by
Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, or

an alternative to the established judicial
system in Buffalo," she explained.
To provide further inJormatio n and
. examples of the justice syste m in Buffalo,
Licel)ce brings in· people who are or were
directly involved 10 it.
" We have had people come in from the
DA 's office, the Buffalo youth programs,
the civil liberties associations and even
specific cases of differential justice like
Love Canal. I feel that it is very important
for the students to hear from people who
have been affected by an unfair administration of justice,,.. Licence commented.
" We all have to realize that justice for
some people is not the same as for others.
The poor simply do not have the access to
resources _that so'meone better-off finan:
cially has," Licence declared.

Buffalo not the only place
But Buffalo is not the only place where
there are examples of an unequitable
system of justice, Lice·nce stated. "This
ci_ty can be viewed as a microcosm of any
large urban center where disparities
between economics and race tend to be
greater. Where there is a high ·,
unemployment rate, as in Buffalo there are going..to be more problems." '
The research that Licence has done for
the course has eome m.inly from her own
involvement with tbe criminal justice

In response to her comment aboU\-Ellicou , severs] members of the ExecutiVe
Committee voiced geoer~l displeasure
aliout teaching· there, but at the end
seemed to suppon her position. Com·
plai nts.ranged from commuting, locating
and general iriconvenience hassles to the·
negative effect the "Enn:rald City" seems
to have on departmepts which schedule
classes there, at least in teims of FTE's.
Senate Vice-Chair Robert Pope remarked that if 'introductory engineering
coun:es were scheduled in the early morn·
ing a t Ellicott, the complex would draw
enough activity and students so that
other courses could conceivably be
·scheduled around them.
Tying this semester's increased reten·

Ellen McNamara said she hoped DUE
and related services would_ be given a
"_c entril rather than a peripheral position" at AmhersL McNamara a.sserted
that the rise in retention was no .. accident" but the result of a concerted fouryear effort to make services more accessible to students. If the offices now find
themselves scattered, McNamara warned
that"we could be talking attrition again."
Another main topic of discussion at the
meeting revolved around a resolution,

Boot wanted Solkoff to address the

"This, observes Goldhaber, "could be

them. It' certainly will change them."
· Goldhaber ponits ro what he terms "a
tremendous evolutionary · move to

many specialized channels of information and entertainment. With the
expansion many times over of · the
number and variety - or programming
sources available to the viewer, countless
new applications and adaptations of the
media become possible. Goldhaber lists
several of them and speculates on their
impact OD the cui"By 1990, you won' read a newspaper

Gibson at Capen
R'lph Gibson is one of the most
fespectec;f and most successful contem- .
porary American photographers. The
galleries and museums who have pr.esented one-man shows of his work Or
who haVe added his photographs to their
permanent collections are prestigious
and far-flung. Prints by Gibsofl are
owned by the UuseL,!m of Modern Art and
the MetropoHtan Museum in New York.
the Victoria and Albert Museum. London •.
~ the Fogg ..Art Museum in Boston. the
Bibliothequ&amp; National de France, Paris,
and some two dozen more. Since 1975
he has ·exhibited throughout the United
States and Europe. as w.ell as in Canada
and Australicf.
In the· seventies Gibson was involved
with Surrealism. and is probably still best
known for his ''dream" pictures. most of
which were rather eerie and erotic. Easity

overlooked, however. was a strong

undercUrrent of work that was bo~h more
formal and more understated. hi his
recent photographs he has continued in
that direct!on, using atighler, more direct
style and showing a greater interest in
the physic., nature of seeing. These
ooncarns .-e ~ . , . . - tl"tro&lt;ql
us\ryg •rchneCtural detail. as he did in t~e ·

Black Serle$. Ostensibly about things like
brick walls and venetian blinds aod stone
buildings, the Black Series looks less like
architectural photography than j t does
fike abstract •. n!inimalist art of singular
intensity. The 15 prints that make up the
series will be eJthibite&lt;f at the famed
Poniptdou Centre in Paris. next spring.
But first they'll be exh ibited in the leas
famed Gapen Gallery.
· For the second exhibit ol the 1981·82
year, the Office of Cultural Affairs, which
took over Capen Gallery a Yt!Jr ago, will
present ''Photograpfiic Wo~ by Ralph
Gibson." which will include, be9ides the
Black Series, prints from two Other"
groups, '"Cluam"ams· and '1Jntitled Wo&lt;ks.'"
The shoW. running from October 16
through November 12. will -represent
Gibson's work from 1976 to the present
and will therefore trace; through a wide
range of subject mattert and technique,
·
his development es en artist.
Gibson, who lhles in r-jew York. will be

''Reel Alternatives: Contemporary Cinema bv Women Directors" is the tiJie of
the series of ten films that Women 's
Studies College will present this fall,

beginning #October 5. The trouble with
classifying movies or any other en form as " done by women " is that it can
suggest that the work isn) in the

mai'nstream and that its chief interest is
political rather than artistic. This is

cenainly not the case her.e. While the
films document'-what's belng done by

contfimporary women fil,nmakers. they

are. first of all, an. One is \he ctassjc

two hours in a woman 's life. The woman,
Cleo, is a suCcessful singer. and those
two hours follow the pronouncement by a
fortune teller that Cleo is dying of cancer.
Twb other films are by the imponant
Hungarian director Mana Meszar-os.
' Women " has a d istinguished cast Marina Vlady, Lili Monori, Jan Nowicki,
MikJas Tolnay- who will be familiar to
audiences who~hBve seen the excellent
HunQarian films shown at the Evan:;
Theatre. It's about the friendship- of two
W&lt;J•m•rn:&lt;aV&lt;&gt;u••a rebel and. a conventional

same director is ..a love story set in an
urban sefting which (like Buffalo) is

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

By JOYCE BUCHNPWSIB.
Progress on the General E&lt;lucation'front
is slu$1!ish, but ttie GE chair remains
optlmtsuc.
A charter member of the General
Education Committee, Howard Foster
has been privy from day one to me
private ap.d public sentiments of colleagues concerning the program's inauguration here. Never missing mui:h of the
action, he often appeared on the Faculty
Senate Ooor d~fe nding the program and
arguing against its dilutio n. To this day,
he remains a staunch supporter.
With much unfinished business at.
hand, Foster will not have an easy year as
chairman of the Gen Ed Committee. For
o~ners (though he is "optimistic that any
d1fficulties can be ironed out j , he must
patiently await the still-to-come decision
from line officers as to whether or not the
Math Skills Program will be launched
next fall. A decision must be made this
semester, he relayed , in order for
University catalogs to conta in accurate
information.
His hands are tied also until he receives
a formal response from Natural Sciences
,..i1D4.Mathematics Dean Duwayno Anderson regarding space availability for
course offerings under the Life and
Healtb Sciences Knowledge Area. Ac·
cording to Foster, Professor Peter Gold
did an analysis of the problem, recommending ways space could be: generated
using existing resources and with no
additional expenditure.
If the findings of Gold's analysis are
rejected, then Foster says the GEC must
grapple with the idea of changing
requirements in Life and Health Sciences.
Can't afford more dilution
... We're hoping to arrest further dilution.
We just can' afford anymore. If
anything, tbe program should be beefed

His job - as well as tbat of the

. harder by.the fact that the ~institution has
shown little inclination to provide special

Perhaps this is one reason why Foster
repons that the number of new courses
specifically developed for the program is
~not far from zero ... Almost all the

Writing skills
Another concern of the new GE Cha ir
ce nters around the Writing Skills Program . Foster reported to the Faculty
Senate last week that a backlog of
students are now waiting for English
composition courses. and may continue
to wait if more spaces are not made
available. Much of this year's crunch was
• brought about by students who delayed
taking the English skills last year. and / or
faiipd to preregister for it last spring.
Another contributing factor is that a
much larger proportion of students who
took the most recent test scored too low
for an exemption. The problem. Foster
reported, is now a subject of on-going
negotiation between the DUE Dean, the
V PAA and the English Department.

on a "very
major priority for this yea r IS to
implement the long-hoped-for B.A.
program in women's studies and to budd
a wider ~tiase of support for Women's
Studies within the University, among the
administration and faculty as well as
students.
~
.
.
She sees th~ ·taSk as challenging. but
she is pleased that she has taken it on.
· ""Of the Women 's studies programs that
1 am familiar ~ with, this is tile most
impressive,"' she stated ... I've known
about this program for a lot of years, and
worked with several of its faculty
members at feminist and womcn'sstudies
conferences. I've also seen many of the
students at national cdrences and been
very impncssed by the lcrnd of leadership
roles they've taken on ."
Meyerowitz, who haf ta ught women's
and labor studies programs at St.
Lawrence Univers ity si nce 1979, doesn't
seem inrimidated by th e perception that
women 's studies scholars have yet to be
fully accepted by some facult y in the
more traditional, estabHshed d is~i plin es.
nor by the adversary image that feminists
have m many universities. including some
circles in this one.

consider COurses about women important. Some . even actually discourage
students from taking our courses ....
Males don' read work by females
This attitude stems from her feeling that
most male academics don't read anything
by female scholars, Mcyerowitzsaid ,and
so they arc unable to judge such work in
its scholarly merits.
She described an experience she had at
another institution 1 where she teamtaught a history suJVey course with two
male colleagues.
... I was hired to teach women's history, ..
she opined, ...so they wouldn' have to
deal with it. While they fell that I had to
have a complete historical background,
they didn\ feel they had to read women's
hiStory. I told them that st ude nts
wouldn' take the women's sections
seriously unless the two male professors
did, also. One of them changed his
attitude."
.This bias can be countered among
stddents by word-of-mouth recommendations from other students. Meyerowitz
said, but it is still very difficult to fight.
Dr. Anna Maria HtdaiJO of Women's
Studies said one hopeful stgn is that more
men are enrolling in 1hc College's

Strong roots-within the community
U/ B's Wo.men's s ·tudies College has
always had very strong rOots within the
community. · With a B.A. program
esta blished within American Studies and
a possi ble move to the Amherst~Campus.
wi ll such Jinks still be possible? Meyer. owitz considered the question of wheth er
the College would remain activist, or
gr'adually assuriie a more establishmenl
sta nce .
... Our goal js to continue ou r com munity links," she said. "That's what m ak.~s.
our program so differen t and vital. ...
H1da lgo, who works in va rious community organizations. including the
Hispa nic Professional Women's League
in the Puerto Rican comm unity and the
YWCA. says that such connections
benefit both the university. and the
community. She mentioned that the
College has esta blished tics with the
Women's Studies Academy at Buffalo
State.
.. M,y work in these or$anizations gives
me space to connect with other professional women. " she said ...especially with
women in minority organizations. We
can offer events together where a wider
aud ience is reached and with women who
otherwise wouldn't have access to the
kind of research we're doing."
' Meyerowit z added . ··1 think that the
kinds of concerns and issues that arc
important to women outside the university are different than those of concern to
women within it. Ties with the community keep us in touch with the needs of
the outside population. issues like
chi1dcare. jobs a nd reproductive rights."

univers ity puts Wo men's S tudies in touch
with many non-academic women who are
very talented and creative in other areas,
Meyerowitz said.
... These ties are not only important to us
but make the education of students more
vital and realistic," she added.
Asked whether women 's stud ies by
nature is ou tside the " Ivory Tower"
isolation clung to by ot her disciplines,
Meyerowit7. replied, "A lot of women's
studies work in other colleges is very
' Ivory Tower,' as well as a lot of the
women's focus co urses taught outside the
College here. These consist of academic

women - the majority of the populat1on
in every society. We don\ understand the

reaves the question of why opponumues
are so limited ."
Crucial to learn about Third World
With the U.S. increasing its ties with
other nations. especially tho~ e in the
Third World . Meyerowitz thinks it is
crucial that more is learned about life in
'those countries. "American leaders will
be in trouble in future decades Oecause we
understand so little a bout th ose countries ... she said.
Ha ving received a B.A. from Barnard
College and a master's from Col umbia,
Meyerowitz expects her doctorate to be
conferred by Columbia this Fall. Her
doctoral hesis is titled. ··women in the
Uni ted Automobile Workers Union
1935-1974. "
.. The sex ua l ha rassment sit uation in
the 1930's is very similar to the situa tion
today,"s he commented. "When I studied
women workers in the UA W, they talked
about how the union made a differe nce in
sex ual harassment. Before the union ,
they basically had to trade sexua l favors
for jobs. The unions haven' eli minated
sex ual harass ment but they have provided an extra measure of protection so
women have a chance of keepiflg their
jobs if they file a grievance." ·
She noted that some researchers who
ha\'e studied wonien workets have found
that one ofthemajor factors contribut ing
to their turnover is sex ual harassment.
Bad as the 1930s
... The si tuation now is about as bad as it
was in the 1930's," Meyerowitz said. Mbu t
a lot depends on where you wo rk.
" If yo u look at the total picture of
women workers," she conti nued, "it is
every bit as bad as it was in the 1930's.
There is still the sa me gap in wages; equal
pay laws have not been able to lessen the
gap it is growing. The sexual
segregation of work is still as extreme as it
was then, and will probably get worse as
the recession con tin ues under Reagan."
But Meyerowit z sees a crucial difference between wo men today a nd the
women of t he 30s : ''Women a re orga nized
wi th a different kind of co nsciousness,"
she 5aid. " Instead of isolated women in
unions we have more organized women.
"They are already being pressured to
leave jobs," she said. "Apart from the
realistic pressure of home versus career
with its. strain on women, there is a
resurgence of the ideology that women
should be in homes, an attempt to force
women to voluntarily leave their jobs."

All tht tools of the academy
- women's studies ut ilizes a ll the tools of
the academy. but if it is d ivo rced from the
conce rns of women outside the university. it can remain irrelevant to their
concerns.'" she said .
Hidalgo feefs.lhat it is the " non-Ivory
Tower" focus of&gt;Women's Studies here
that not only makes it special but has
given the College its national reputation.
"Our faculty has been pubhshing all

Concerhnanager handles
.b ookings, contracts, crews
with 'considerable elan'
By ANN WHITCHER
The scene borders on the chaotic. An
artist needs a concert date, someone is
calling about series tickets for the
Guarneri. And just how do you get out to
the new Baird anyway?
, .
A few weeks late r, there a re delays in
the concert schedule; workmen haven't
finished laying the carpet in the new
Baird Rehearsal HaiL A thousand details
remain befo re pianist Yvar Mikhashoff
and violinist Thomas Halpin can kick off
the concert season.
Without hyperbole, th ese are typical
' moments for Rosalyn Lenzner, music
department concert manager and an
" un wavering supporter of the arts. Lenzner has a job description that's, to say theleast, intimidating. · She's in charge of
"virtually every aspect" of producing
over 200 concerts a year, a task made
more challengi ng by the department's
move this year to Amherst. But she
ca rri~s it off with aplomb or. a.s t:.be music
writers would say, with ..con,iderable
elan."
Lenzner books all faculty and student
recita ls, along wi th guest artists for both
the Slee Beethoven Quartet Cycle and
Visiting Artist series. S he supervises all
promotion and publicity. designs posters.
writes abou t 200 press releases a year.
supelvises a box-&lt;&gt;ffice operation and I 0person stage crew, and prep~ res printed
programs for each co ncen. She has also
taken on some ex t ra duties which are not
officially part of the job. The UI B concert
manager recently secured a $2.300
Natio nal Endowment for the Arts grant
which makes possible the one-week
residency in Marc h of pianist M ieczyslaw
Horszowski, 89. Also, she developed and
taugh~ iln independent •study course in
ans management to a U I B Management
undergrad·uate Jast spring, and has two
more gra nt applications in the works.
Complex necotiations
Booking- artists such as the Ha ydn
Baryton Trio and the Vienna Chamber
Orchestra is n'\ easy. First. a concert
committee discusses possible selections.
Lenzner is an ex-officio committee
member, and it's her job to discuss
programs and fees with artist management. The program is often tied to an
artist's repertoire (the Haydn Baryton
Trio, obviously, plays Haydn baryton
trios), and there are various program
resttictions from funding so urces, such as
the S lee bequest. As for fees, "I often
negotiate with management to bring the
cost down... Lenzner then obtai ns
biographical material and photos - long
before the contracts are signed, the latter
a long burea ucratic ordeal. .. It's a very,
very long process." she notes. "It goes
through many, many hands. In the
concert world, it's standard practice -for
artists to be paid the afternoon or evening

oft he perfo rmance; that has almost never
happened here."
When Lenzner came to U/ B in 1977,
she reva mped the stage crew syste m, so a
larger "liil~r of students could be
emplo,e&lt;J·at .l)le S;lme cost. This not only
serVes~- student&amp;, but also ensu res a
pro~ional stage crew operatjon. A
house manager supe rvises the stage
assistants .. who are aU trained to stage
manage and handle the ligh ts, etc."
Ushers and cashiers are schooled in botll
functions . While it's not a requireritent;
Lenzner prefers that crew
·
be
music majors . .. They have an un•lerstanalng of what it's lil«i lo perform, and
that extra detail can mean to a
performer."
She needs the help
The crew is paid with temporary service
monies. but Lenzner does have a tenmonth .. half-line" for clerical assistance.
She needs it. In addi tion to a fold-&lt;&gt;ut
brochure now on the press, her office is
distributing quarterly Oyers to all U/ B
faculty, staff and dorm students. Lenzner. who was· both group sales manager
and producer of a symphony series
concert program for the Buffalo Philharmonic. ad$1s: .. We have more than
doubled our community mailing list. and
we have expanded our press list. ..
In her years in the music world.
Lenzner. who also worked as coordinator
of group sales for th e Carborundum
Museum. has met some famous names.
She's loathe to name-drop. however. and
says sim pl y, " I co nsider myself very
fortunate to touch these people and to be
touched by them. Almost without
exception, the great ones are distinguished from the very. very good. by
that extra 'tduch of humanity. T"hey'k:now
who and what they are. but they don't
need to throw it around.'"
Take Aaron Copland for ins tance. A
U/ B piano performance student was
studying a Copland work and wrote to
tht composer for advice on its execution.
Copland wrote back and invited him to
New York to play a nd discuss the piece.
..The kid was just floating :· Lenzner
reports.
UI B faculty. too. can be warmly
supportive of their perfo rmance students.
In MFA concerto recitals, for instance,
the student 's teacher will often play the
reduced orchestral part on the second
piano. ..We have outstandi ng faculty
performances. Overall o ur quality has
been excellent,'" she saYs. wi th only a ve ry
· rare ..clinker." Eve n the to p performers
drop an occasional note. a far-fromserious flaw in Lenzner's view. if•'they're
making music.'"
It's the classics, not the Stones
Lenzner is up-front af!out di fficulties
faced by a modern conce_rt manager.

Jobs

A 31-year-old Japanese economist has
made a discovery which he says may
provide a clue on how the U.S. could
effectively reduce its inflation rate.
Dr. Naoyuki Yoshino, an a ssista nt
professo r of econom ics here for the past .
two years. made the discovery in carrying
out a resea rch project: ""A Compariso n
Between Japa nese and U.S. Monet ary
Policy."
Th.e project was fu nded by a $2, 1SO
faculty resea rch fellowsh ip awarded by
[~ Y Research Foundation. This
year's aW3,rd program provided a tolal of
S7S2.773 10 fund 273 granls to faculty on
26 campuses.
Yoshino noted in a n interview that
Japan and the U.S. have taken somew hat
different routes in atlempting to reduce
inflation which in both natio'ns ha s been
caused by an over-abundant: ou tward
now of money that exceeds tax revenues.
But let Y o~ hino tell the story in hi s own
way. wilh 1973-74 the starli ng poinl.
At lhat time. Yoshino relaled. both
nation s were faced with the need lo
release mo ney suppl ies to m~t ra pidly
escala ting costs of oil imports.
Japan coped, the U.S. didn't
He cited thi s com pa rison: The Unit ed
Slalcs in 1973-74 was saddled with an
i.nflation rate of 10 per cent, or slightly
higher. while imponing less I han SO per
s ent of its oil needs. Japa n. on the other
hand, saw its inflatipn rate climb beyond
the 20 per ce nt ma rk while importing 99
per cent of its oil.
By 1978-80, however. the U.S . inflation rate had climbed to 12 and 13 per
. ~t. while Japaa·t~ had dropped to a bout
8lJet cent.
Yos hino's discovery rega rding U.S.
efforts to contfol inflation relates LD a
highly complex co mputer stud y he
conducted in car ry ing o ut his resea rch
project on monetary policies.
His stud y showed lhal a policy put into
effec1 on October 6. 1979 by the U. S. to
co ntrol the . nation's money supply
a ppeared to be less effective than th.e
Federal Reserve Board's previous "open
market" policy.
He cautioned , however. that his study
covered a relatively short span and
conce&lt;fed th e system ina ugurated in 1979
"may improve ...
The current policy, which mandates
that commercial banks retain a nonborrowed reserve to control the nation's
money flow. leads to increased interest
rates as demand for loans increases. This
is clearly inflationary in Yoshino·s view.
The Federal' Reserve Board 's previous
open-markel policy utilized a lixed
federal funds rate for commercial bank
borrowing. .That seems 10 be a beuer

money-supply con trol than the present
policy, Yoshin o sa id .
He noted further that commercial
banks in the U.S. borrow from fed eral
reserve ba nk s "with no quantity control"
and sometimes .. under the ta blat' Such
borrpwin g. he added. ca n sp ur inflation
- and has .
Why Japan succeeded
He a ttributed J apan·s measure of success
in l o~e ring its inflation rate to fou r basic
factors:
• ~tric1 conlrol of the quantity of
money available for borrowing from the
.Ba nk of J a pan. an agency comparable 10
thi&amp;.. nation·s fede ra l reserve ban'ks.
Yoshino said the policy "stabilizes"" the
a mount commercial banks have ava ilable
..
for ma kin g loa ns.
• Government control of the amou nt a
co mm erci a l ba nk can lend to an industry
or other maj or borrower.
• Maintenance of a favorable excha nge rate for the Japa r!ese yen agajnst
the U.S. dolla r by increasi ng exports and
decreasi ng imports.
• Cutbacks in oil imports through
efficie nt industrial production. Yoshino
noted that Japan still imports 99 per cent
of its oil needs but uses less. The steel
industry. he said, has trimmed the
amount of oil it requires for. production
by 30 per cent since 1973.
ButJapan's ti~ht-money policyis n' all
it seems to be, either, Yos hino admitted.
Official1y a nnounced interest rates for
r_najor borrowers are "higher than they
see m, .. he explained.
He disclosed that borrowers are
required to deposit a ponion of their
loans in banks, which means they borrow
more than they actually need to cover the
amount placed ori deposit• - aild;pay
more interest than they norma ll y would .
Yoshino has now resumed his role as a
professor · in the Graduale School of
Policy Science a t.Saitama University on
I he outskins of Tokyo.
He pl 3.ns to continue his research into
Japanese and U.S. monc.tary policies and
hopes to return to. U/ B some day in his
D
quest to solve the inflation puzzle.

Muscles can be
strengthened by
new stimulator

Nurses need
more power,
Prof contends

By MARY BETH SPINA
A new device which electrically
stimulates maximUm muscle contractions without producing pain promises to
speectrecovery for patients wtth a variety
of orthopedic ailments, says a U/ B
physical therapist .
Alfred Caffiero, clinical instructor and
co-chief of the Physical Therapy
Department at St. Joseph Intercommunity Hospital, says preliminary
studies of ElecfroStim 180 show ~
devi~ can strengthen weak muscles in ..
less l.lme than can be achieved by exercise .
alone. The device has been on the U.S.
market for three months.
·
"When muscles lose strength because-·
of d isuse from inju ry · or illness.
physi~ians generally prescribe various
therapy modes bd't notably special
exercases to increase stre ngth, endurance
and range of motion." Caffiero explains.
For . patients with long4enn muscle
wash.ng or those recovering from
certam types of orthopedic surgery,
however, the road to recovery through
exercas~ alone can be long, and often
frustratmg .
"The ElectroStim, on the other ha nd ,
produces maximum inusole contraction
via a high frequency current without pain
and can speed initial restoration of
muscle function ," Caffiero says.
Electrical stimulation devices have
long been used in physical therapy, but
they utili ze far:adic and other currents
which produce maximum contractions
and a lso often ~ errific pain. ·

J!ya WENDY ARNDT HUNT
The s lender woman's word~ are spoken
grac~qusly, bu.t they arouse antagonism.
Dun'\!l the past three years she has
traveled nationwide to articulate her
thoughts, her opinions have provoked
numerous rebuttals.
. Dr. Peggy Lois Chinn, a new professor
m the School of Nurstng. believes the
physician / nurse/ patient relationship im:
nates that of the traditio na l nuclea r
family. The doctor, like th e father often absent from the day-to-&lt;lay life of
the famtly - IS the omnipotent figure
whq makes · aU final "decisions, even
though the nurse, like the mother usually at.home -tak'?' care of the many
dally ~ho1ces. The patient, of course, is
the chtld . And •though the nurse / mother
is more intimately aware of the patient /
child 's situa
, the physicia n / father
decrees how th patient / child should be

A member of the Nation al Organization for Women, Dr. C hinn confro nts
this cultural continuity by advocating the
idea of the mo re independent a nd more
powerful nurse.
The narrow face, crowned with chestnut hair, is earnest. The hazel eyes that
stare intenseiy through their squareframed ·glasses nevertheless hint of her
shyness.
She 's not encouraging rebels
Her teachings, she says, will mirror her
philosophies. But, she adds, her words
s~ft , .. My aim is not t o encourage
dtsgruntled rebels, but to raise their
~ warencss so they can make a differen ce
m a constructive manner in the health
care system ...
Her own frustration with the system
shoved her out of the hospital and into
the university.
. "I knew the only way for me to stay
mvolved and keep independent was to get
my degree," says the 40-year-old professor who received her Ph. D. in educational psychology in 1971 from the
University of Utah.
.The first daughter of a Baptist
mmtster, she was ra ised in Hawaii. She
attended j unior college in Nort h Carolina. where she saw that one of her few ·
career choices was nursing. Ret urning to
her childhood home on the Pacific
Islands, she earned her B.S. in nu rsing
from the University of Hawaii in 1964.
She married and followed her husband
to Colorado, where she worked as a
pediatric office nurse. She moved again,
this time to ~tab because her husband
had ~n offered a job teaching special
ed ucatiOn at tlte'Umversity of Utah.
Now a mother to son ltelleth, she
decided to pursue graduate studies. It
only seemed natural to continue in child
health, she says, as her interest had been
aroused while she worked in tbe Rocky
Mountain state in the shadow of Dr. ·
Henry Silver, then chief of the pediatrics
department at the University of Colorado, and Dr. Loretta Ford, now dean of
the School ofNursingat the University of
Rochester, who were leaders during the
SIXties of the child bealth nurse practitiOner movement.
Because of their influence, she pursued
a !""5ter's in child ~ursing at the
Umversuy of Utah, whtch she received
with honors in 1970. A year later, with
financial help from a National Institute
of Health fellowship, she received her
Ph.D.
Dr. Chinn taughut her alma mater for
three years, then moved once more to
Texas - as a professor of nursing at
Te~ Woma-n's Univer;sity, where she
earned tenure before she left in 1978 for
Wrigbt State University in Ohio.

frustrated with the rest rai nt medicine was
trying to impose on nursing.
The medical community, Dr. Chinn
believes. realized that well&lt;hild pediatrics would be a moneymaker for
physicians. The national bod y was
· appalled , she adds, that nurses, who were
providing health care for mothers and
child ren in th e early 1900s, wcren)
charging a fee for their services.
..Tpe medical community defined, th en

area of practice, •• says Dr. Chinn.
When a physicia n shortage was
predicted during the late 1960s, she says,
the child health nurse practitioner idea
was conceived by the medical profession
so ancillary people could be trained.

A fan of Judy Chlcazo
Dr. Chinn expresses her beliefs not as her
favorite feminist artist, Judy Chicago,
does via visual images, but as a speaker
and writer.
She wrote Child H•alth Maintman ce:
Concepts in Family-Centered Care and
co-authored Child H•alth Maintman ce:

textbooks woli the American Journal of

$250,000 .grant from NIGMS
funds rfietal poisoning research
A $250,000 five-year grant from the
National Institute of General Medical
Sciences to study antidotes to metal
poisoning has been awarded a UI B
researcher and a University of Rochester
colleague.
Metals involved in tbe research to be
conducted by Dr. Paul J . Kostyniak of
U/ B and Dr. Thomas Clarkson are
mercurials and aluminum. Dr. ltostynia.k
is assistant professor of pharmacology
and therapeutics here. .
Some evidence compiled · by other
r.esearchers suggests Dialysis Dementia
and Altzheimer's Disease, a form of
premature senile dementia, may be
casually linked to localization of
aluminum in specific areas of tbe brain.
..There iJ · no evidencc, however, that
people who work with aluminum have a
biabcr iacidence or lbeto CODdilions.
Indeed, Dialysis Dementia is a condition
limited to thote wbo have been on

hemodialysis, .. Kostyniak: emphasizeS.
The most effective antidotes to
aluminum and mercurials must be able to
bind to these metals in the body and
speed their removal by excretion.
"We want to look at developing new
systematic antidotes which could be more
effective chelating agents and examjne
others to see how they could be
improved," Kostynialc says. These
metals, as others, bind to numerous
woteins in the body, and can, in some
people, lodge in certain organs rather
than being totally and harmlessly
excreted .
Other aspects of tbe research will
involve using non-absorbable cl~elating
agents which will bind to these metals,
making them more soluble and thus,
more easily ex:creted; and determining if
tbere are differences in susceptibility to
poisoning with these metals, using mouoe
models.

Hiz\ter rrequency
The ElectroStim 180 utilizes a higher
frequency current that blocks the nerve
which transmits pain but activates large
nerve fibers which control the muscle.
Any discomfort the patient feels is
d irectly related to the muscle contraction ·
and not the current.
The device would not be used to
supplant exercise and other types of
therapy aimed at regaining function in
affected muscles, Caffiero notes, but it
co uld be an initial and adjunct therapy
mode.
Caffiero, who has used ElectroStim
180 on nea rly a doze n patients referred to
him by their physicia ns for the treatment,
has observed often dramatic results.
One pat ient, who had suffered severely
weakened muscles from long~term disuse
beca use of knee and hip problems, still
could not perform prescribed exercises in
the leg following successful surgery for
t hose problems. But after little more than
a month a( sessions with the device, she
was able to walk much better on the
affected leg and perform prescribed
exercises aimed at improvi ng muscle
function .
" Amaringly, this lady was able to lift
the affeeted leg off the floorafteronlyone
session with the Elec!roStim. She had not
been able to do this for three years,"
Caffiero recalls.
He says there have been so few studies
conducted with the device that it is
impossible to predict tbe scope of it in
treatment. But be and other therapists, as
well as physicians who have had
experience with it, believe it has great
potential in treatment of certain types of
anjuries. Some studies seem to sugest it
may also act to reduce types of
inflammation.
R~ otrencth and eadui'Uice
Typically, treatment with the
ElectroStim 180 aimed at increasing
strength or endurance in muscles involves 1
ten maximum contractions lasting 10-IS
seconds each with SO-second rest periods
between. Treatment and results can vary
depending upon the individual case. ·
Ruuian studies, however, suggest there is
a retained strength and eadnrance level
for three or more months even after use of
the device is discontinued.
· In addition to its potential role. in
physical therapy, the device may also be
used in conJuDCiion with sports traini114.

That general observation applies to vacatiOI}I, no leu than to the work-a-day

Commercial vacation literature exhorts the prospective traveler to do

their latest study. Folders attribute a
grand purpO&amp;e to each possible junket:

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

Consortia and networks

~ries e;verywhere have felt a cost ~ 1

pinch· the raponse has been, first,
develOpment of regional consortia a~
now national networks to pool spcc1al
colle'clions, journaf.buyiog and
cataloging efforts, among ~~hers. So.me
librarians predicrth_at .most mfo~ll?n
will soon be commurucate&lt;l to hb~nes
via Compuler from a centralized location
and that local facilities will collect only
those matlrials of local interest. ~oy
finds that extreme. Remember, he said,
there were predictions ih the J930,S that
· within . 50 years half Qf. all hbrary
materials would be non-book holdmgs.
· That dido' come true and neitherwiiiJhe
great centraHzed . collections of this
.,_ _
scenario, Roy fe~ls . ~ .
. Yet, cooperauon will be a key. The .
\. group knOwn as the Five Associated
University Libraries of upstate New York
- U { B, Rochester, Cornell, Syracuse
· and Binghamton - was a pioneering
effon at regional cooperation. It ~as
recently failed, but the need remams.
Future regional consortia see!n , a
cenainty in Roy's view. bolstered . 1f not
by one centralized information source, by
severa super libraries - a central library
of medicine, say; a library of culture; the
Library of Congress, - all feeding
eleCtronic data on request.
.
At tfte very least, Roy projectea,
nation31 computer networks of l.ibraries
will prosper. they have emerged already.
The Ohio College L1brary Center
_(OCLC) to which 1Jf B belongs - for:
cataloging and bOQk selection purpos~s is
one .. of ~ four . now in_ existence, ~he
Research Libtirieslnformation Network
(RUN) is another.
.
Founded by Harvard, Yale, Columbia
and the New York Public Library; RUN
has 18 full members joiDed 'in projects
involving resource sharing, inter·litirary
loans, central cataloging and a
computeriud circulation -system. If{ Bwants to join but is waiting. The question
1s when, not whether, to join. RUN is still developing, as is a study of how some sort
of linkage can be establish~ among
existing networks so a reseafch library
can join just oDe, yet receive the benefits
of all. "We' cart' afford to join all the
networlr.s,n Roy pointed out. But, on the
· other hand, we can' afford not to.
-Currenily som~ sharing is done by
more conventional methods. The Center
for Research Libraries established in
l962-{;3; for example, subscribes to
~rtain serials and periodicals which are
not heavily used, making them available
to subscribers on a 24-hour.fl'oticc basis. _

If Prof. Charles Haynie of Tolstoy
College has his way, .a Teach-In lasting
several days wiU be mounted on campus
in early November on ...the growing
influence of the Right in American
society.''
'
Haynie· has been in touch with frie nd s
on can'\PUS sounding out their interest in
participa1ing, and held an organi1.ational
meeting last Friday afternoon . Ha ynie
said he has "already received a good deal
of feedback that is positive to this idea."
Haynie reported in a letter to friends
on ca mpus last week tha t the idea has
come up because of what he perceives ...to
be a widespread feeling of anger,
frustration a nd anxiety by many liberal
and radical friends , here in the University
and off-&lt;:ampus in Buffalo, at the turn of
American politics in the past few ye'ars,
but with a special emphasis since the
inauguration of President Reaga n."
He listed several of wha t he considers
..attacks by the right wing in our politics :"
• The heating up of the Cold War.
• Presidential un ion-busting.
.
• Recent importa tion into the U.S. of
neo-Nari terrorists ..a ppa ren tly funded
by right-wing America n wealthy people."
• The "overwhelming intrusion " of
Christian fundamen ta lism in to poli tics.
• Threats to the environment by
developers a nd oil interests.
• Attacks on the rights of the accused.
• Attacks. on th ose dependent on

-federal funds to survive.
• Attacks· on public education and
opposition to court enforced
desegregation.
.. The failure of our traditional liberal
institutions to or'ganize opposition"toall
this is most demoralizing, Haynie said.
According to Haynie, some tentati ve
ideas for th e Teach-In incl ud e:
• Book a recognized authority on neeNazi movements in Europe.
• Invite a PATCO leader to speak .
• Organize a panel on the adverse
affects..on the health care system of the
federal cutbacks. etc.
• Confro nt the issues of"'crea tionism ..
and the censorship of public schools
te xts.
• O rg ani ze a panel on th e
envi ronment and Reagan.
• Consider how to orga nize students
to fight th e cutbacks in loans, etc.
• Invite a well known speaker on
Affirmative Action. and its opgonents to
speak.
• Show how women can work to

oppose the Human Life AmendmcnL
• Orga nize a panel .. to a nalyze why the
Democratic Party is not, nor never will
be, able to co nfront the influence of t he
right -wi ng in politics."
• Bring a spokesperson for the
Uberation Movement in South Africa to
speak, in reference to t)le recent turn
towards U.-s. support for South Africa.

asked to contact Haynie at 837-6104. 0

.Pace ....

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKJ
Enrollment figures as of Friday show the
University is ¥
in a number of
categories, from transfer students to
application totals. The entire enrolfment,
in fact, is projected at being the highest it
' has ever been, a whopping 27,:132
students. And th at ts with a
predetermined enrollment cap on the
freshman class of about 3,000 students.
But perhaps most significantly, Uf B is
ex-periencing .... •markedly -improved"
retention rates for full and part-time
students in both the core campus and the
Health Sciences.
•
President Roben L. Ketter opened the
year's first Faculty Senate meeting wtth a
salvo of enrollment " up's, .. ~over's" and
.. increases. •• His optimism seemed;
tempered only by one major shortfall: a
considmble drop in the number of
f...Shmen al!mitted· to the &amp;lucational
Opportuqity Program, despite an
increase in number of applications. The
President asked the Uniyersi ty's
Affrrmative Action officer, Malcolm
Agostini, to investigate the ni8tter and to
~port back to him with ...corrective
measures."
.
The up's, over's and increases cited by
Ketter were:
• Applications - up -8 per cent over
last year.
• Transfers - 150overlastyearat this
time.

·

• MFC enrollment - up from last
year's record-breaking total.
• Retention - up at least 2 per cent in
virtually every category.
• New fuJI.time graduate students 273 over the targeted figure.
Freshman quaUty up
The quality of the freshman class is up,
too. Ketter advised: Last year, he said the
University admitted 80 per cent of those
who applied and met its ·criteria for
admisston. Thi_s year, that fig ure dropped
to 69 per ce111. This prompted -the
President to predict that faculty should
see an ..increase in academic quality ..
from the incoming grou.p.
As far as the intended majors,
Engineering which took 1st place with
freshmen (Reporter. Sept. 10), also took
top spot with transfers, with 22 per cent
choosing it as a major. Management was
next at 19 P.r cent, then Health Sciences
at 18 per cent, Social Sciences at 12 per
cent, Natural Sciences at 9 per cent, Arts
and Letters at 6percent and Architecture
at 2 per cent. Twelve per cent of the
transfe~ were undecided about their
major.

Handbook to be produced by the
Division of Pubhc Affairs . The
Affirmative Action Plan _ will be
distributed to the departments and
appropriate faculty and staff commiuees
before it is formally filed with the Office
of Civil Rights in Washington.
Jewish holido ys not to be observed
ln what most would consider an expected
vote , Ketter said the Calendar
Committee decided last week no1 to
-observe the high Jewish holydays as
official school holida ys in 1982-83 (they
will be observed this year). Historically,
the Faculty Senate as well as the SUNY
Senate have recommended -that - no
holydays be observed , Ketter noted,
believing that the University should have
the right to determine its own-calendar.
This stance, however, is in opposition to
.the most recent recommendation of the

category ·~" w~re interviewed. Among
ihe nine were women, minorities and
members of 11\ajority groups. Each
candidate was interviewed for
approximately two hours . The
Committee is now in the process of
devising a "short list" of candtdates who
will be invited hack for a second
interview.
Solkoff described the communication
between Search Committee members as
"open" and the process as "remarkably
democratic." He told Senators that the
candidates will be able to choose for
themselves if they want to meet with
other campus constituencies.
As a final note, Solkoff relayed that
each candidate "thinks more of us than
we do of ourselvt;$." Such recognition, he
continued, "should be a powerful
incentive for the University to continue to
strive for excellence in all areas."
Q

Trustees (who .have vacillated on the
matter), which states that if a majority of
students would be adversely affected by
the calendar, the holydays should be
declared official holidays. Meanwhile.
the pressure is mounting for a change in
the U/ B Calendar Committee's decision.
Ketter said the matter is on. the agentla
at the next Council of Presidents rfteeting
and a bill is before' the State legislature
which mandates that U/ B observe the
high Jewish holydays. The legislation.
oddly enough, is commonly referred to as
the " Buffalo bill, "-Ketter mused .
Presidential Search ·updafe
Former Senate Chairman Norman
Solkoff returned to give a brief update on
presidential search activities. Solkoff
reported that 70 resumes were receiyed
for the post. The 70 were plat:ed in three
categories. Only nine candidates in

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

of 1984

Wha1 clinched his decision was' U( s·s
reputation and its .. friendly feeling."

Encinctrs and architects
•
Scott Nisbett, from TonzWa nd a.,~ N.Y.,
chose U/ B because of the '&lt;ngineering
arogram. Another local student, Ed
Coleman of Amherst, said his reason is
because his father is an alumnus and a
past employee oT the school. "My father
liked it here and, besides. it's close to
home. which I like." he said, adding that •
he was also accepted at Genesco-but felt it
was to o small for his liking. Larry
Roberts. also of Amherst, came, too,
because of a .. pare ntal connection ...
" Bot h my parents a rc U/ il graduates
and they enjoyed it. I like the idea of
being so close to home," says Larry, wh o
would also like to puisuc engineering.
Nancy Linardos, a resident · of
Copiague, Long Island, is coming
because of the good things she-has heard •
about UI B.
" My high school counselor suggested
U 1B f o r its Phy sic al T'herapy
Department, and the idea of getting away
from home appealed to me,"Nancy says.
"Some of my friends also told me the
dorm life was good ."
Nancy i~ hopeful of getting involved in
women's sports.
Charlene Carr is from Collins Center,
N.Y .. a small town about 50 miles south
of Buffalo.
.. Even though J am from a town where
you know everyone, I don' think I will
mind goi ng to a big school," says

Charlene. "I might get lost a few times but
1 feel I'm ready to . ~ here," she states.
From Brooklyn, Angela Epps picked
U/ B for its architeCtural program.
Angela is coming with no great
expectations; she is just looking forward
to being in Buffalo. Her only worry isthat
..I might hav.e some trouble adjusti ng to
all these people and how big the school is.
especially this campus (Amherst)."
More &amp;ood things
'
Dennis Comacho, from Staten Island,
also heard many good things before he
made his decision. U I B is "a good school
for electrical engineering," he says.
D"ennis was confident about coping
witli size and diversity . ... hope to gel

as getting to kno'W the Ci),r~ ~uffalo

Engin OgC;-from Northport,. L.l. , ts
U/ B as the route to
still another wbo
an engineering career. Engin is glad to be
here btcau~ his other choice, Stony
Brook, was too close to home.
Engin's friend, J im McGrath; also
from Northport, is giving Ul B a chance,.
although he really wants to go to a private
school.
"My father~ to live in Buffalo so he
was able .to tell me quite a bit abou t U I B.

Health work found 'hazardous' in El Salvador
By PAUL SIEPIERSKr
Physicians and other health care wor~ers
in El Salvador are being kidnap(!Od ,
tortured, .,mutilated, and murdered, a
New Yott City health professional
charged at an assembly at Roswell Park
MemoiiaJ Institute th is summer.
""Doctors. treating patients,'SOmetimes
in the midst of operations, had been
attacked by armed men who came into
the operating room.and · s~ otthe doctors
and their patient&amp;," Frances Hubbard
said she had found on her visit to the
troubled Central American country in
July, last year. Hubbard is associate
director for field education at the Sophie
Davis School of Biomedical Education at
~~~kCollege of qty University of New
She . had traveled .wit-h four other
members of a Public Health Commission
of Inquiry, which was endorsed and
supported by the American Pu11.1ic
Health Association. to 'conduct a brief.
but . intense, twCH:iay investigation of
charges of violatiqns pf medical
neutrality. At Roswell she diStributed
copies of the Commission's report. which
summarizes the testimony of some 50
Salvadoran b""lth care professio nals and
relief workers. including representatives
of medical and health wo rk.ers' .
organization~ : physicians. medical
students, patients. social workers. and
technicians. COmmission members ..,also

The report lists do1.ens :Or armed

institutions In the' nine _months between

government aod;9\s Commi~sion '"s visit.
In most of these inStapces, the ·attacke{S
are said to have f&lt;lrced their way in to kill
patients whom they had wounded earlier.
or whom they suspected of belonging to
_lega) or clandeStine groups opposed to
the Junta.

•
The ·report also lists at least nine physicians killed during that time. ,
besideS reporting numerous 'Other violent
deaths. The N~•· York Tim.s late last
month said that, altogether. 26,000
people have ·been killed in El Salvador
since the Junta seized power in October.,
1979.

Hubbard said, "Physicians and health

The Commission's report observes.
"These assassinations are frequently
preceded by the cruelest forms of
dismemberment and brutality." The
report says t~t. after kidnappipgs,
health work.ers' corpses have been found
bearing "clear evidence of torture," such
as deep lacerations, skull fractures , and
evidence of strangulatjan.

Pn one occasion, the report relates,

and two relatives. A neighbo ri ng

house when he tieard screaming wa s
reportedly killed also.
... We were told that there's a consta nt

Hubbard. "that. frequentl y. people
whose hospital records have been viewed
are later searched out by 'rheans of the
records. and ihey are later killed . or they'
disappear . . . Health persontlel are
questioned. and when lhey do not
cooperate with the military. they are
threatened . abused . tortured . and
sometimes .killed ." She added that
persons ki-lled in this manner often turn
Olf.! to . ~ave no connection at all with an y
opposJtton group.
"The risk of swift. brutal. and fatal
reprisal means that most health care
professionals will have second thoughts
about which paiients they will treat ... the
report comments. The Commission
concludes that the violence is directed
againsl these professionals .. simply
because they are fulfilling their ethical
responsibility to treat, the sick and the
wounded."

Blood supply seizid
Hubbard said the Salvadoran milita ry
has seized the entire supply of blood from
the nation's blood ' banks and holds it
under guard in a smaiJ ·military hospital
controlled by the Ministry of Defe~se.
Tile Commission learned that most
h~lth care administrators are very
reluctant to ask for this blood when tbeir
patients need it, for fear of inviting'more ~
armed attacks. P~tients' needing blood
must request it from relatives. who may
he equally fearful of being associated
with someone the military may see fit to
kill.
The report also charges that the Junta
has seriously restricted the importation
of medicines, surgical instrumen,ts, and
other eaetitial supplie,s, th'!S- making
health c:are·ddi""ry even more difficult.
Hubbard said that, -until the middle of
last year, 'whatever health care was

Welf;ome. Menagerie
.a -'roarin ' success

Editor:
• I was intrigued by your cover story of
Sept. 3 on Th~ Sp«trum's possible shutdown and the lack ofthoroughnessthat it
revealed. When You intervit)Y a new
editor and a novice business rrianager to
corrtment on the paper's situation, past
and present. it might be wise 10 consult
others who perhaps know the situation
som.ewhat better.
Bauman possesses no understanding of
the organization beyond that which he
has garnered over the past three months.
He is·very quick to bring forth figures and
"facts" which few of his predecessors
acknowledge or understand. He is also
too quick to remove himself of blame.
The predicament that Tht Sp«trum is
in is, to me, more confusing than
terrifying. Since(ts present directors have
chosen to go public with its woes, aU of
those might as well go on tlie record.
Since Juae l , Bauman has found that
Tht Sptctrum has no assets .and all
liabilities. Prior to June I, ttie situation
was markedly different. One of the
paper's strengths was that it always had a
sizeable list of receivables - money itwas owed, largely from advertisers.. The
total was somewhere in excess ofSSO,OOO.
Those receivables were one of Tht
Sptctrum :S strengths. When we needed
credit," l hose were used as collateral on
the grounds that in case of default. a lien
could be put on them.
Suddenly. however, according to
Bauman. there are no receivables. No one
is able to say where they have gone, yet
they admittedltare not the,-., If they W.re
collected .' then wb.ere were they applied?
Surely not to the debts.

It also escapes me how Bauman comes up
with a deficit of $100.000. That means
that not only were there' bills outstanding
from last year. but that a hefty number

Tht Sp«trum. primarily Bauman (and

Sculpture from Scrap
Sculpture by AI Frega will open
1he 1981-82 season at Capen
Gallery. Five of his large pieces
will be displayed in Founders
Pla1.a, juSI -outside Capen Hall, at
lhe same time that his smaller
works will occupy the gallery,
which ' is on Capen's fifth Ooor.
Frega uses found materials:
• induslrial scrap, chain links fro.m a
~ coal min~ coqveyor chain,
bearings. cog wheels, anO his
particular favorite: railroad parts
- ties. rails. box car hitches and
the like.
One of his favorite pastimes
while growing up in Batavia was to
pick up bits of scra p melal around
;the railroad yaro . The early
fascination with these materials ·
ultimately transtaced itself inlo his
sculplure. Frega says he lries to
take. "slraightforwaro; almost
boring material like a railroad tie
and give it movement." He
emphasizes thac the 'medi.lm is not
lhe messaga. and ma'k!" a sharp
distinction between fo.und .material
and found a~· His •pproach to
industria'l metal is r\oc differenl in
forlli from his approach tci bronze
arntbra;s.

�New 'system
for Tie-line
starts Sept. 14 .
You have to dial
a lot of djgits
A new ' system of diaung long distance
.numbers on the tie line "'!!ll'l!linto effect
on September 14, the Office of · Telecommunications has announced.
The most significant changes,
acc;ording. to Richard Zehler, UI B's
·telecommunications chief. are tbe
following:
• New access codes must be dialed;
• Users will have to wait foraddilional
dial tones;
• Calls will be tost if the user delays'
more .than four seconds between digits;
and 1
• There11 be a new system for !lialing
long distance numbers iw tbc Western .
New York regiGn (those numbers with a
"716" area code that are more than 40 -miles from the University).
These changes mean UI B telephone
users will have better luck getting their
business calls placed - if tbey're on the

Lengths of pipe used in Danish-designed drill. were stored in the researchers" laboratory cut in Ihe: Grttnland Ice Sheet.

Snow that jel/100,000 years· ago is
tr_ajJped in .ice cores stored·&amp; studied here
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
Snow thin fell to th~ ·Earth more than
100,000 years ago arrived in Buffalo in
August in the last shipment of ice cores ·
drilled. from the Greenland Ice Sheet by.a
crew of researchers from "three countries.
The ice will be stored in the
University's Ice Core Laboratory, the
largest repository of its kind~n the world.
Dr. Chester C. Langway, Jr., chair.nan of
the Department of Geological' Sciences, ·
served 8.S" senior scientist and chief
investigator of U.S. operations for the
Greenland' I"'i Sheet Program (GISP), a
l~year
proJect sponsored by the
National Science Foundation.
. UI B reSearchers ~- spend the next
two years analyzing the ice cores, drilled
through 6,683 feet of ice at a site called
Dye 3 in southeast Greenlaqd; ·this was
the second deepest hole ever drilled
through' an ice sheet. The Greenland Ice
Sheet was penetrated only once before,
by U.S. Army dnllers at Camp Century
in northern Greenland in 1966.
.
"It's really been a spectacular ·
accomplishment," Langway said on his
return to Buffalo. "The dl\ta we obtained
from the ice cores will provide us with
information unobtainable elsewhere. on
Earth.

measurements distin Ct differences in the ·
material iOthe ice cores at different stages'
in the Earth's history and development."
Using ice cores, scientists can reach
farther back into Earth's history tlian
they can with other chronologies such as.
tree rings and sea sediment.
120,000 years old
Langway said reSearchers have estimated
the age oft he ice extracted at Greenland's
bedrock to be approximately qo,ooo
years old.
Danish scientists are primarily
involved in using stable oxygen isotOpes
(oxygen 18/ oxygen 16 ratios) to gain
ancient climatic data from the cores,
Langway'explained. They are also doing
solid conductivity measuteroents to
measure volcanic dust trapped in the icc
in order to learn a bout the past history of
vOlcanic eruptions.
• At a depth of 70 I meters we found an
ash layer I mm.th~. the ice having been .
clean all the way down to that point,"
L"n$Way related. • That layer is being
stud ted extensively."
~
·
The Swiss are also involved in studying
the gaseous component of the ice,
Lanpoay said.
"They've found 50 per cent more
carbon dioxide in._ gases during the
Holocene Period (the last 10,000 years)
than during the last third of the Ice Age,"
Langway said. "The general trend seems
to be a slight increase in COz content in
the atmosphere."
·
The Swiss are aJso interested in
absolute dating of the ice using mass
spectrometers and radioactiv~ isotopes of
carbon 14, chlorine 36 and beryllium 10,
as well as icc physics in J general sense,
Lan~ay explain.ed.

GISP fieldwork lias been completed,
Langway is pla nning a 1:i-oijj,t Japanese,
Swiss and UI B expedition to the Juneau
Ice Fields"i n Alaska in May to st udy that ·
unique temperate glacier. Before that, he
will spend a few months in Switzerland
on an Alpine study program . ..,.
U I B personnel who traveled to
Greenla nd tlris summer for the last phase
of GISP were Michael Herron, Hitoshi
Shoji and Susan Herron, co-field leaders;
Bernard Kapuza, the department's ice
core curator, and Susan Kapu 7.a,
laboratory technician.
Also going were field technicians ·

:Wright House
/ gets $5000 _grant
The Buffalo Foundation has presented a
grant of $5,000 to suppol'1, efforts to
restore the Frank Lloyd WrighH!esigned
Darwin D. Martin House, home of UI B's
Canadian-American Center.
The grant was presented to the Friends
of the Darwin D. Martin Rolise, a fundraising committee chajred by Lorelei
Ketter and Dr. Ja~k Quinln.
"We are very appreciative of the
Buffalo Foundataon's contrib..aion to the
effort to preserve this importAnt part of
Western New York's architectural
heritage,"· Mrs. J(etter said.
The Martin House is one of only ten
publicly-owned Wright buildings in the
.0
nation.

Tbe Danes developed the drill
"Great credit must go to the Danes for
developing the tool t~lowed U. to
reach bedrock througllmore than 6,000
feet of ice; an 8~foot-long, cablesuspended, winch-opera.ted mechanical
drill. The Swiss, also, put a lot of effort
into this project1 .. l.angway commented,
addin&amp;, "GISP essentially has ended' in
success. AU the major objectives of the
original plan have been accomplished."

getting a familiar voice at the other end,
Zehler asserts.
The Telecommunicati{&gt;ns. Office has
issued a new bulletin (Newsletter #47) t~
all UI B departments. It reports the:
changes •an&lt;t explains new dialing
instructions.
~
Changes are nece sary because the
State Office of General Services is,
converting to a new switdiing System at
the General Donovan Building in
downtown Buffalo. Zehler says the new
tie line dialing method represents an·
" upgrading" Qf the systt)Il and will result
in economies for the University.
The prese nt system is a bit awkward, he
says, as calls from Ul B to Rochester, for
example, are · first routed through a
switch in Albany and then back to the
Aqwer City.

a

Some eumples
Zehler cited several examples of how th~
new ~ Intercity Telecommunications
Sy•t•m ()TS)' Tie Line will work:
Calling Albany: To call state agencies
in the Albany area (those wi.th a "473" or
"474" exchange), the ·on-&lt;:ampus user
must dial ""8," wah for a dial tone,
dial a new "'121" access code, wait for a
8econd dial tone, then dial the last five
digits of the Albany number.
Calling Western New York: To call
• "7 16" numbers farther than 40 miles from
V1B, the user should dill! "8," wait for a
dial tone, diaJ ""S"again, wait for a second
fone, dial "716," then dial the desirecj
seven-digit number. Tie-line calls under
40 miles distance are not autllorized; it is
less expensive to dial direct.
·
Calling elsewhere: To coqtact other
New York state areas or the Washington,
D 1C. region, callers must dial a total of IS
digits. They should dial "8," wait for a
dial tone, dial • I 21 ," wait for a aecond
tone, dial "8" again, walt fora third tone,
then dial the area code and the scven-&lt;ligit
number. ·

Scaled-down (oo.tball still a11" e-xciting game

In 1971, U/B's Division One football .

A decade later, . the Division Three

The decision to drop the sport. mis-

labeled the "Death of Football~ at U/ B.
caus«i .an interruption of six years: The
sport n:tumed .in 1977, although. at
another, less exp'ensiv.e level without
benefit of athletic ,gran~in-aid. the
contradictory "football schplarship.".
The "new era~ U/B football is no less
important. however, to the true student·
athletes who labot for love of the game,
Ol' ID the 6,000-plus fans - the larJCSI,
most enthusiastic gathl:ring attracted by
~ny University event who may
assemble at Rotary Field on sunny, fall
·Saturday· afternoon.
.
And U/B football has been ,exciting
under Head Coach Bill Dando, who
employs a wide-open offeriie that
fn:quehtly rallies the Bulls to victory in
the.....,ing minutes of a game.
A -cycle il ·be&amp;IDDID&amp;
The 1981 season, ilftb since the sport was
reinstated, starts a new cycle in the
· current program. The young men who
answered a call to form the revival squad
for a !our-pme . ~hedule in 1979 have
departed, and the members of the ftrst
fuU class recruited from Western New
York hi&amp;h schools are now seniors.

harder to bring respect and~tability to his
program.
Dando is satisfied with the progreis
made here in four-years. ·
MFrom what we started with, we have
one of the better Division Three:
programs~" he states.
'
..The other teams on ou r- schedule
always aim for us; that's how you know
you\te arTived...~ he points ·out. .. We've...
always had the reputation, we just had to
build it up again."
Assessing the state of ~is program as
"where we should be," Dando notes; "We
knew jt wollld be tough, building a team
from scratch; but we've made progress
ev~year."

Recruiting has been one of Dando's
primary concerns - he of!en haS t9 wait
until the major schools have awarded all
their grants Seron: getting an affirmative
response from a youn1 athlete - but he's
expanded hir base of operations to all of
New YOrk State and has even attracted a
handful of players from Pennsylvania
and Ohio.

them can travel to games a day ahead, '
some even fly; they ha'le as many as four
full-time coaches, and two of the teams
we played last yeai, including Dayton,
, have artificial turf at their stadiums."
Dando's theory is: ..lf we're ·going to
play those · teams, we should have the
same ad va ntages. No one wants to ge,t the
hell kicked out of thtm every week. I
think we should have the best Division
Three program possible. "
Dando isn' unhappy about playing at ·
Rotary Field, however. "It's a beautiful
field, it drains-well and is as gond as 8J1Y
we play 9n or better, w1th tbe exceptiOn
of the artificial turfs. ~

UI B lytic ten_o r

nati~al attentio_
n_1
By ANN :WID-TCHER

To say ~; ~ is making a name •
for hlmsell' lS a·bit redlmdant. Aft~r all,the 43-year-Old lyric tenor 'has been at it
for years. A former resident membe(_of both tb~ Saa Francisco and Greek
National 0 pe111 companies, Burgess sang
in 12 to 24 operas a year before joining
the U/B faculty.
Still, · one canl help but notice tbe,
national attention he has been getting
~ly, pe.haps as a result of his principal
role in A &amp;you Legend, Willia.m Grant
Still's three-act opera broadcast
nationally over PBS in June. Burgess
played the young idealist, Bazile, in Still's &lt;
1941 opera, based on an auth~ntic
Mississippi folk· legend and lilmid on ·
location near Vicksburg, in 1979.
· A- &amp;you Legend won · three opera
awards. It also ~ooped up several filmmaking awards - includiqg one 'at. tlfe
Cannes Ftlm "Festival
for .fhe
innovative fibning and videotaping
· techniques used ' by producer Curtis •
Davis and director John T.bomson. (See
·
separate story.)
Burgess sings regularly with
Opera/ South in Jackson, Mississippi,
which co-produced A &amp;you Legend with
The Mississippi Center for Educational
Television. The U/B assistant professOr
of music also still sings occasionally with
the San Francisco ppera and with the
Greek National Opera, where he made
his Europeo,n· debut.

Sills, now the director of the New York
City Opera, asked that he sing in an
upcoming .city - Opera production.
BurgeSs, however, .. is n't sure"'about both

offers, as they'd depend on- "the time
element ., and his teaching obligations.
Teaching is apparently of top
importance to Burgess, who directs the
University's Opera Workshop.' Wben he
came to UI B five years ago, he "made the
decision to teach rather than perform ...
Still, he lries 10 get away ..once a
semester," adding, .. , don't ever want to
not sing... Burgess' deems outside
concert.izing good for bot1l himself and
his students.
Opera Workshop boasts some
distinguished faculty: Heinz Rehfuss, the
bass-baritone "who has had just an
outstandin~ career.'' th"e Paris·trained
Sylvia Dimtz.iani; chorus director Harriet
Simons; and Muriel Wolf, whose training
iilcludes Salzburg and Vien!la. Part-time

WorkShop employees are set designer
Mike English; costume designer Virginia
Slater; Elcnora Seib, coach, accompanist
and · Burgess' assistant; and make-up
artist Edwin Berst. Singer Christopher
Critelli is a lJart-time graduate assistant.
Some of Burgess' students have started
to receive their own recognition. Two
students have had two appr~ticesrups
each with the Sante Fe Opera; former
student C. Scott Rogers is studying at the
• Philadelphia Academy of Vocal Arts; exstudent Andrew Schultze sings in
Europe, and local soprano Adrienne
Tworek-Gryta is "also&lt;! very fine result of
the school."
Last spring, Op e ra Workshop
presented Stravinsky's difficult-to-stage
dance · cantata LLs Noces, with the
Buffalo Regional Ballet, the University
Chorus, and pianists Livingston
Gearhart, Yva r Mikftashoff and Stephen
and Frieda ManC6. Other adventurous
productions have included Purcell's Dido
and Atneas and Mopteverdi's
LYncoronazione di PoppeQ ( 1642). On
the lighter side, Opera Workshop
presented Franz Lebar's The Merry
Widow at Artpark in June. The popular
1905 light opera was extremely weUattended, reports Burgess. Such a
production, he continueQ, helps him
secure a budget and keep !hingsanoat for
the rest of the ·year. .

lnUitute syggests.
Dr. Saxon Graham, internationallyknown· epidemiologist who headed _the
study, notes that while smoking and, to a
lesser degree, alcohol consumption
·remain major, risk factors for cancer of
the larynx, increasing amounts of foods
containing Vitamin A and C in tb.e diet
· may lower risk for both smokers and
non-smokers. The reduction Ui risk for
smokers, however, ..does not- anywhere
near cancel out the huge risk fo.r laryngeal
cancer associated with smoking,"
Graham, chairman of UI B's Department
of Social and Preventive Medicine,
emphasizes.
· While another, previous Buffalo study·
singled out cruciferous vegetables such as
cabbage and brussel spr8uts as
specifically decreasing the risk of colon
and rectum cancers, no single vegetable
or group of fruits or vegetables
containing Vitamins A and / or C
appeared to be. more important than
others in reducing laryngeal cancer risk.
Neither- did the UI 8-RosweU Park
researchers' find any relationship between
dietary factors such.as meat, fat Qr fiber
and laryngeal cancer risks.

Dietary inteiviews
In the study, dietary interviews were
conducted with 374 white males with
confirmed diagnoses of laryngeal cancer
and 381 white male .pa tients who did not ·

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

Still, Dr. James H. Bunn, new)y
appointed ~n of .the .Faculty of. Arts
and letters, is excited about his new job,
though realistic about truly vexing
problems faced by his distinguished and
beleaguered faculty.
Bunn, UI B professor of English, was
- appointed over tbe summer by President
Ketter, who expressed his own pleasure
. at the selection. *Your appointment," be
wrote, "'bas been recommended by the

A tjuietly · -affable- academic with
advanced degrees from Wake Forest and
Emory universities, Bunn, 42, is the
author of numerous studies of semiotics,
literature, politics and aesthetics. He has
more than a dilettantish interest in
Scjebce, too, havin&amp; minored in biology at
Wake Forest. He also developed a recent

in a book, ~ imnuionality of Signs,
' Tools, and /llotkls, ' part of the
MAdvances in Semiotics" series edited by
Thomas IC Sebenk, and published in
,July by Indiana University Press. Bunn is
very interested as well in the history of
science.

Neal, Rifkin says. Students are •'l'.are
that the vice president's job is "to ~eep
everyone out of the rain." But they want
more than that. If it means displacing
some administrators and giving up some
classroom space in Capon-TalbertNort on, so be it, thinks Rifkin.
Rifkin is encoprag~d that Dr. ~obe!'
Ross berg, vice president for ac:adem•
afTairs, appears open to ne,gouauons ?n
the subject. He feels Student Affa•rs
should be. too. After all, the quality of

Ideally-suited

Capen-Tal~rt- orton isideany s ujted to
union use al Arnhcirst, Rifkin argues. The
opening of Knox Hall puts it at the center
of things. Most students will now haye
mo_st of their classes here, he points out.
And they shouldn' have to run hac~ to
Main Street for activities .
The small union that the Stale plans to
build in the next several y~;trs will be just
east of Knax and thus close enough to
Capen to constitute- with it the central
lar.8e-scale union studenu want.
That development is in the future,
though. For Rifkin and "kabos'b" the
fuu~re is nOw.

Computing upgrade
is now underway
interim arrangement to cover us for: two
yea!'$ to- allow us to prepare plans to
request a more long-range upgrade to
start in 1983," Martens explained . All
departments and administrative un its
have been asked to su pply him with
proposals describing their expected needs
for the period.from 1983 to.l988, so that a
co.mpfehensive pla n can be·drawn up.
The interim upgrade in equipmen t :NBS
a,_much-needed change that will improve
comp_utiog servicese great deal, Martens
·noted: In three to .four weeks, the
UN IVAC will be able to support 120
terminals instead of the previous 59,
providing a further improvement in
remote or on~line acce:ss. The number of
connection points to the QY BE R unit
will be increased from 120to 192, making
it possible for the fi rsitime for faculty to
have terminals in their offteeS. ·
A new permanent computer site has
been established in 202 Baldy. This will
serve as the Amherst Campus on~line
registration site, reP.lacing the temporary
set-up in Fronczak.'
"This Baldy 'site will also be o pen to
academic users for time-sharing teach ing
labs," Martens. added. "Classes can be
scheduled there d instruction set up so
an instructor can show the class in a
hands--on environment how to become
acquainted with the COI!lputer. The
Computing Center staff will use it for
sp ecia l Computer- rela ted lecturedemonstrations....
In November, the number of public
terminals available on campus win increase from, 85 to 135 and will be
distributed at four si tes: aldy, Furnas,
Ell~ott and Crosby. The computer room
in Parker at Main Street has been closed.
Martens said -Chemistry and Architecture will be provided with departmental
terrui~al facilities to make up for the loss
of Parker.

administrative offices will have terminals
through which they can access the
c9mputer data base.•
The computing staff is now preparing
_ an RFP (Request fo r PropOsal) that will
be released In December to qualified.
vendors. Martens related.
".Vendors »:ill be asked to provide us
with proposals- for new computer systemS
to be installed in 1983,"heexplained. The
new systems wi ll provide even more off::.
site access ·to the computers and will
make life easier for many.
For example. Martens said. t he new
system should allow academic advisors to
-go ,to office terminals to act immediate
grade and registration information.
"A department chair -could get the
status of the departmental budget and
class tists could be printed out a t the
·
departmental level," .he added.
He also expects to have a word
processing 'yste.m connected to the
· computer so that entire texts and reports
could be entered and printed locally at
low speed or printed in the Computing
Center with a high-speed laser printer
ibat could generate copy of manuscript
quality.

Bigcer budget needed
,
.. We1l be branching into computer
gra phics. microcomputers. computeraided design and more extensive network
support for .department mini- and
microcomputers."' Martens said. These:
new capabilities. as we11 as an increase in
the sheer volume of computing that_will
be done in the next few years. necessitates
an increase in funding for computing
services, he added .
.. A $1 million annual increase in
funding for computing services would
not be out of line,· be said.
. Martens said his staff has contacted
about 60 academic people 10 survey what
they think will be needed in the future.
"It looks like. everybody is indicating
an increased need fortime-s haring. more
terminals for stUdents and faculty and a
defi nite need for improved graphics
capability," he said. The new Graphics
Lab is a step toward that; by 1983. we
want to have40 graphics terminals.for the

Here we_all are, back on campus once again, fated with ourannual readjustment
to the hectic pace of campus life. Those of you who were around at all during the
comparatively quieter summer months will. of course, notice that the start-up of
fall semester classes has brought with-it the traditional influx of people to what '
sometimes seellli like every available squaie tnch of living. wortina, eating,
parking, learning and relaxing space.
This condition is partiGularlydramaticarAmherst, where a health}' number of
students. departments and University functions previously native to Main Street
will now be located, due in gr.eat part to the opening of newly constructed
buildings and the closing of older ones for renovation. The relocation process
which has already begun is expected to conti nue for some time to come~ as new _
facllities at Amherst are compltled and the conversion o( Main S treel ibto a
home for the medical and dental schools gets fullY. under Wax.
Some changes have already taken place, ho~r. sian.Uteandy altering
traditional patterns of campus usage. The Grace Millard Knox Lecture Hall
Center, with six units providinga combined seating capacity of over 1200, is now
· operational.
Also opening this fall at Amherst will be the Baird Hall ponion of the new
Baird-Slee music complex. The faculty and administrative offices of the
Department of Music have 111ready assumed occupancy in the"new" Baird, with
only the department's Opera Workshop, Concerts office and electronic muii&lt;:
unit remaimng behind in the former Baird Hall at Main, pending completion of

Tracking a :I relocations either completed or in progress promises II&gt; be one of
the most challenging games in Ul B's recent history. The R~porttrwill endeavor
to keep you informed from week to week of any cha nges or.relocations affecting

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

we wish him well in his endeavors."
Aside from the official statement,

Faculty of Arts and Letters Dean
George'R. Levine was In the nation's
capitol wben tbe Repo1'ter contacted
his office, but Associate Dean Dr.
WilliamS. Hamilton, Jr., issued the
followtog statement:
:'This resignation gives us an opportunity to . realize that we facUlty

Newton Garver
Dr. Newton Garver, veteran faculty
member who served for two years as
chairman of tbe Faculty Senate
(1978-1980), correctly predicted
Ketter's action in November, 1979, in
the official Faculty Senate response to
thePresident's(ive-yearreview. At that
time, Garver said be was "convinced
lhat President Ketter Will remain in
office beyond June 30, 1980 (when his
second llv&amp;-year term was up) , [but) he
wlllleave that office after one year, or
two years at tbe most."
On hearing the resW:&gt;ation -news,

Were there any disappointments? Yes.
said Ketter. there -" ·ere: .The major one
was the inabilih· of administration and
faculty to
around. the idea of
planning inl ftxed budget-situation-a
situation which calls for some departments to gh·e up funds so others "an
develop more fulh·. He had huped
people would beha,·e in a more
••statesman-like fashion·· than th.-·
actually-did.
·
Did he preside OYer a brain drain?
No, said Ketter . .. We haw good faculty
and good programs here. In fact:· he
said, we have engineered som e major
coups (although one doesn·t usually put
it just that wav. he added). A noteworthy accomplishment. in his ,·iew.
was the luring here of the so-cl!lled
Johns Hopkins 5 in Compatath·e
Literature, a move which enabled that
department to rise rapidly in national
stature. The Physiology Department is
one of the top 2 or 3 in the nation. he
added. So is Biochemistrv .
What qualities should his successor
possess to put him or her in good stead
in dealing with the problems of the
University? A good sense of humor. cast

iron in!iid~. and patience, the Presi- ·
dent counseled. The cast iron guts. he
added later. are necessan• to deal with
the food · on the ··rubber chicken"'
dinner circuit.

\\'h;· was he announcing . his action
now? \\"as it because the students were
away and Th e Spectrum wasn·t
publishing? someone asked. The particular date was selected to suit the con,·enience of Council Chairmar\ Robert
\fillonzi. Ketter said. He would have
preferred to wait unti l April when the
budget has been finall y resolved .
The general timeframe was selected
because the Uni\·ersity is in good shape.
Ketter added. With the restoration of
funding resulting from the tuition hike,
the"'' will be no massive cuts in the
coming ~·ear. He woul4 not have felt
comfortable leaving, he said. had there
been serious cuts to be dealt with during a transition . Although U/B is facing
a tight budget, Ketter contended this
campus and the rest of SUNY are much
better off than either Michigan or
Michigan State. both of which have
been slapped with 18 per cent cuts by
the Michigan Legislature.
Among other reasons for his timi ng,

What's Next?
What will he do on his sabbatical starting in January? He has allowed his personal interests to slide in recent years,
the President said. There are books to
be worked on. Perhaps. he may write a
chronicle of the University's transition
from private to public institution-a
· subject about which he 1cnows more
than anyone else still around. Or he
may just work on his farm .
Will he have anY. input in namin\\ his
successor? .. 1 won t even be asked. he
noted. "' Nor should I be... ,
Is he looking for a job elsewhere?
" No. I enjoy teaching and research"", he
said.
To other queStions. the President
responded that :

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

Engineering unit to occupy Bonner
By JOHN THURSTON
Willard H . Bonner Hall , the 36,000
sq uare-foot facility under construction
next to Capen Hall on the Amherst
€a.mpus, will become the new home for
Electrical Engineering, Vice President
for Academic Affairs Robert H.
Rossberg has announced .
The announcement follo wed President Robert L. Ketter 's approval of a
recommendation made by Ross berg to
assign all space in the four-stor y structure to the engineering unit.
Originally, the building was to have
become the new location for the Univer-

sity's Educational Communicat ions
Center (ECC) which is now loca ted in
Wende Hall on Main Street and at
Capen Hall at Amherst.
Dr. Rossberg explained that the
recommendation followed a careful
study of space needs for the two unit s.
SpUt would have been ineffective

An earlier recommendation , made by
former Vice President Ronald F. Bunn,
called for the Bonner HaU -space to be
split between ECC and Electrical
Engineering. It was determined , after a
closer look at that proposal , that any
split of the space would be ineffective
for both units.
''The decision by no means came
about as a result of an isolated,
preferential judgement, but rather as
part of the complex, continuous juggling
of space which has been characteristic of
keeping the University running while
building it at the same time," Rossberg

said .
"While the decision is unfortunate for

the expectations of the ECC staff, I
believe we can nevertheless meet all of

the legitimate space needs of ECC in
Wende Hall , in new or rehabilitated
space in the Health Sciences co mplex
and in satellite space in Capen Hall, "
the vice president added.
Dr. Rossberg also noted that while
ECC is presently located close to campus
client units, the Engineering faculty,

particularly Electrical Engineering, has
been divided and is occupying rented
space at 4232 Ridge Lea.
A move out of the Ridge Lea facilit y
represents an annual saving of $109,000
in rent, ta x escalation and utility costs.

FaSt growing unit
Adding to the decision, according to the
vice president, was the fact that while
Electrica l Engineering is on~ of the

fastes t growing unit s here, it is one of
few fo r wh1ch there were no long-range
fa cilities pla ns.
As part of the period ical scaling down
of o ri gi nal campus pl ans, the former
nine-building engineering co mple x was
trimmed to four buildings seve ra l yea rs
ago.
Although the Bonner s tructure wa s
designed as an Instructional Communications facility it will be particular-

1y suited to the instructional and
research need s of engineering, according
to Facilities Planning Vice President

John A. Neal.
Dr. Neal noted that the hi gh ce ilings.
open spaces a nd modifications whic h a re
possib le at this stage of construction will
enable the department to meet it s
class room and laborator y demands in
Bo nner.

Nursing to ad" program in women's health
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
The first graduate women' s health program for nur.;e practitioner.; at U/ 8 will
be established this fall. Funded with a
one-half million dollar grant for three
years from the Department of Health
and Human Services, the " Preparation

Kathryn J. Cerato.
Potential leaders
Cerate, an associate professor concern-

ed with women's health for the 20 years
she has taught here, said this program
reflects the trend in nursing toward the
broadening of the nurse practitioner's
education in women's health from

-adolescence through senescence. Traditionaily, said the Columbia University
graduate who hQlds a master's in maternal and child health, women's health
programs have concentrated on the
reproductive years. A master's program
in maternal health for clinical specialists
was discontinued here four years ago.

Tax breaks to attract
industry to the cities
remind Mattera of pimping
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
Effort s to save the cities by luring
business to them with advantageous tax
incen ti ves have crea ted proposals that
mimic those of pimps, sa id Philip Mat~
tera, former editor of Zerowork
magazine . Addressing the 20 people
gathered Monday in Squire Hall to hear
him speak about Reaganomi cs , he emphasized that the federal government is
si mply legali zing tax eVasion for
business. The president is creating a
double standard , because the people will
not benefit from the ta x relief, he said .
The cities a re being reshaped for
business, he said, and one of the ways
will be via urban enterprise zones. He
explained that the zones are im poverished areas populated by 4,000 peo ple
within a city where small businesses,
financed by investors who receive tax
reducti o ns, will be encouraged to
es ta bli sh themselves. These sma ll
businesses will be required to hi re many
of thei r workers from among, th e local
unempl oyed .
Taggi ng them "basement ind ustri es, ..
he said they will create low- paying jobs
tha t are dirt y, unsa fe a nd non-unio n.
Mattera believes thi s is an insidious at tempt to remold the labor ma rket and
give business chea p labor.
The urban ent erprise idea. whit·h
o rigi nat ed in Britain abo ut four years
ago, is being promo ted in Co ngress by
the Kemp/ Garcia bill.
Mattera said th at Rep. Jack Kemp
believes the entrepren eur idea will save
the cit ies.
The people are the losers
Unfettered capitalism is being to ut ed as
the solution to th e Un ited States' ailing
economy, Mattera said .
"The image of overburdened
business, howeve r, is a deception being
forced upon us. The percentage of
revenue lhat they pay is less and less of
the total tax burden ."
The people are the ones slig ht ed by
this courtship of business.
Look at Detroit , he said. The cit y of
cars has bent over backward to accommodate General Motors so the Fortune
500 company would construct a Cadillac

plant there , even though 1,500 homes
had to be bulldo zed to clea r the site.
The people are being removed from
their homes by th e demolition crews and
the Young Affluent Professionals. The
YAPs, said Mattera, who are also being
lured back downtown, are competing
for city housing, shovi ng costs beyond
the reach of the former occupant s.
This econom ic situation is leading to
the polarization of the people, Mattera
said. The rich vs. the poor.
The social gai ns of the past 50 years
will be wiped out by Reagan omics, Mattera sa id . He said that thi s cou nt ry need s
neither the sys tem of lai ssez- faire nor the
liberal socialist approach .
" We need a new o ne," he said .
_But he did not o ffer a ny solu tions.
A reb uttal
Rebutting Mattera's speech . Mary McCo nn ell, Kemp' s legislat ive assista nt ,
sa id th at the ente rpri se zo ne idea is t he
most efficie m way to give power to th e
people. Peo ple without jobs need jobs,
she said. The jobs neated by the
Kemp / Garcia bill will give them the
mon ey \\ hich "ill buy them the
resources they need not on ly to sur\"ive.
but to support their political / social

she sa td the majority of ne" jobs arL'

federal organiza ti on) like H UD can not

No sweat shops
The enterprise zone idea will not encourage und erground industries, she
said , co unt eri ng Mattera' s allegations of
sweat shops. The new small businesses
mu st report their income to the IRS to
ea rn tax incentives. And th ey wi ll benefit
from the tax incentives only if !hey hire
400'/o of the ir new workers from among
CET A-eligible people.

which were THE yea rs of th e entreprene ur s, was charac teri zed by boo m

1930' s, increased employ ment.
Pawlak acknowledged that th e
Kemp/ Garcia bill wou ld create jobs, but
he said they would require no training
and offer no upward mo bilit y.

The current controversy in Detroit is a

Study-here focuses on how a man
reacts to his wife's mastectomy
A social psychologist and a cou nselor
associated with the U/ B Men 's Center
are interested in the experiences a man
undergoes when hi s wife has a mastectomy. The two have received a su mm er
grant from the Research Foundation of
SUNY to study the adjustments of
husband s in this situation, and are look ing for volunteers to participate in their
projecl.
Now before any women's group takes

umbrage, it should be noted that both
Don Saba, a U / B alumnus who hold s a
faculty appointment at the College at
Brockpo rt, and Ro bert Paskoff, a
graduate student in co unseling here,
realize that mastec tomy is primaril y a

woman's problem. Saba is all too aware
of

the

frightening

statistics:

breast

cancer is the leading cause of death
among women from age 40 to 44; some
30,()(X) to 40,000 women die from breas t

cancer every year as over a hundred
thousand new cases are diagnosed: one
in every fourt een wo men will deve lop
breast ca ncer at some time.
A great deal of research on th e
med ical and emotiona l effects o.f
mastectomy on women has been ca rried
o ut , the two men report , and thi s is as it
should be, in th eir view. However, they
point out, " husbands face man y difficulties too, but virtuall y no resea rch
has focused on men' s adjustment s to
their wives ' mastectomies."
Doubly regrellable
That knowledge gap is dou bly regrettable , Saba, the social psyc hol o gi st, and
Paskoff, a lecturer in Tolsto y College,
submi t. First, studies that have been
done on wom en reveal that the hu sband
plays a central ro le in hi s wife's adjustment-good o r bad-to the disfig uring operation . Second, a lth o ugh man y
men have faced the confusing and tr yi ng
rea lities of a wife' s mastectomy and
many more will face that challeng e in the
futu re, Saba says, "we have very little
informa tio n about that male experience
to relay to other men ." Women wh o
have had mastectomies, on the ot her
hand, have banded togeth er to reach out
and help their sisters who are undergoing a si milar experience . Groups such as
Reach for Recovery and Encore routinely dispatch women who , ha ve been
through the operation to vis it patient s in
hospitals both before surgery and in the
adjustment period following . But no
si milar programs have been created to
aid men . Saba and Paskoff have found,
in some 20 interviews on the project
to date, that men typically go through
the experience alone. They sit in waiting
room s alone for news, seldom calling on
any other family member to be there
with them. "It was pure hell , " one man
revealed. Afterward, they rarely share
any of their emotional reaction s with
anyone. Paskoff calls it "dysfunctional
rugged indiv;dualism."
Much of that male reaction, of
course, stems from the whole cult of the

macho which pervades o ur societ y. Men
are not supposed to give in 1o emotions
and feelings or to ask for he lp. As
veterans of th e Men 's Mo vement, the
two researchers have dealt with effect s
of thi s same mind- se t in o ther facets of
men 's li ves a nd have been acti ve in enco uraging a "so ftening" of th a t
machismo .
Nowhere is th at more urge nt than in a
ma stecrom y situation . Sabo sa id . The
ma n who a ll ows him self no emotions
and no fee lin gs, who draws back as he
has been taug ht to do in any situa1ion, is
of absolu tely no support to a woman
suffering the pangs of di sfi gu rem ent , the
fea r o f death , and a deep identi ty cris is
over loss of what a sexist society views a'i
an impo rtant sy mbol of sex a ppeal. T he
res ulting si tu a ti on can be dismal for
both parties. Saba em phasizes. Tentati ve r esea r ~.: h re sult s. in fact. indicate
that the di vorce rate for cou ples in" hi ch
a woman ha s survived a mastectom'" arc
hi g he r than for the general populat-ion .
Co nridentialit y guarante-ed
Saba and Pas koff guarantee men who
agree to ta lk to them about th eir ex periences tha t the di sc uss ions and their
identities will be held in the s1rkt est ot
confiden ce . Result s of the st udv "ill be
summari zed, and directed to c3ch participant. Those rc sull s will also be the
basis for a journal article and po ss ibl~
for a proposal for the support of an C\ ·
pa nded outreach project.
The two researchers hope to find between 50 and 60 men to di sc uss their C\periences and cop in g st rategi es. The in ·
terview wi ll take about an hour .
Pa rti cipam s who are interested in do·
ing so will have the oppo rtuni ty to at ·
tend severa l sessio ns of a support group
in which th ey can exc hange experience'
face-to-face wit h others who ha ve endured th e same problem. Saba and
Paskoff hope tha t the support group can
pro vide informat ion on which a formal
ma le counterpart to Reach for Recover}
can be modeled.
In line. with his belief th a t the emotional and so cial side of masteclOmy is
as serious as the medica l co nsiderations
invol ved, Saba hopes eve ntually to enco urage hos pit a ls to set up wa lk-in

Brustein laments 'awful fate'
of the theatre at FES forum
By ANN WHITCHER
In a subtle and interesting presentation
here last week, drama critic Dr. Robert
Brustein talked about the " awful fate of
theatre. •• Even as actors work
breathlessly to perfect their craft, their
works are as evanescent as life itself.
Brustein, founder and fanner artistic
director of the Yale Repertory Theatre
Company, discussed eloquently the "infinite sadness of the theatre. " Even as
theatre is alive and pulsating-the very
quality1hat draws us to it-it 's .. written
in Oesh, and the Oesh is mortal ."
Brustein, who was on campus to ad·
dress the final 1981 Summer Forum
sponsored by the U/ B Faculty of Educational Studies, said, "we in theatre work
with the knowledge that our work is impermanent. " Though preparation ,
rehearsal and performance seem intense
at the time, they "lose their physical life
the moment they are ove r."

Ephemera, ephemera!
To illustrate hi s point, Brustein, who
now heads Harvard's Loeb Drama
Center, cited th e word s of the older actor in David Mamet's A Life in The
Theatre. "Ephemera, ephemera," says
the actor, as he surveys ows of empt y
seats. Unfortunately, the theatre's
evanescence is not lessened by preserving
agent s like film. vide o tap e o r
photograph y. Often, filmed o r taped
performances see m " s til ted and
therefore e mb arra s~ in g , · · he said . Take
Marlon Branda's famous portrayal of
Stanley Kowal ski in A Streetcar Named
Desire, in which th e acto r "revolutionized naturalisti c acti ng." Branda's film
version of the sa me role was reduced , in
Brustein 's view , to "a styli zed artificiality ...
Even recordings of fam o us actors
R~bins.on and Barrymore, reading
Shakespeare, now seem "surprisingl y
thin , and even hammy, though both
were considered models of natural acting in their times . " So, Brustein doesn ' t
envy the filmmakers and film actors
" the erribarrassment " of encountering
once proudly-regarded work and finding
it ~&lt;antique and yellow like a piece of
faded parchment."
Brustein, whose recent book, Making

Scenes: A Personal History of tlce Turbulent Years at Yale, 1966-1979, portrays his difficult tenure there as dean of
the School of Drama, pointed to several
paradoxes in the theatre. For one thing,
the playwright's text "has no life" until
it's acted. At the same time, the text is
the only part of the play that survives.
Luigi Pirandello, he said, was fascinated
by this contradiction, and frequenUy set
up conflicts .. between written words and
the actors who were pledged to speak hi s
words, but who sometimes preferred to
substitute their own lines, expressions,
gestures, even experiences." Also, the
theatre of one age believes that "it 's providing a model of truthfulness and reality;" the latter, however, ••invariably
strikes the next age as false and
archaic."

A bridge of flesh
Though the theatre is achingly
vulnerable, only the stage can sa tisfy
simultaneous thirsts for permanence and
for change, said Brustein . He also
argued that the theatre is the "bridge of
nesh" which links opposed camps of the
artist and the humanist. These groups,
.. whom one would expect to be allies,"
tend to mutual ind ifference, if not
outright antagonism. A fact, said Brustein, that ' s " not generally acknowledged
in our society. ''
. Brustein broadened this argument by
explaining that "the ultimat e division in
the United States ... is between those
who love the human imagination and
wish to advance its potential, and those
who hate it or fear it., Some of those
who function in the ans world are its
worst enemies; and some in the
humanities-specifically the literary
world-fear this imaginative world .
Brustein gave several examples . The

"most alert and demanding audiences"
at Yale weren't from the English Depart men t , but from the Medical School. And
those teaching the imaginative litera ture
of the past (Blake, Yeats, Dostoyevs ky,
Machiavelli, Proust, Dante, Shelley,
etc .)- "dangerous au tho rs a ll "-were
loathe to enco urage si miliar cont emporary adventurousness in the theatre.
Instead , they preferred "conventional
revivals of the classics ' ' or "escapi st,
froth y commodities." Why? Brustein
cited the traditio nal a ntipathy toward
the performing art s at
" major "
American and English uni versities; he
attributed this to the academic 's drive
for order, stab ility and securit y. The
latter impulse, conti nued Brustein, is
antithetical to the ever-changing nature
of th e arts. He said that those "engaged
in curatorial, pedagogical and teaching
tasks," are often threatened by art s
practitioners. The musicologist vs. the
composer, or the art historian vs. the
painter, for example.
Brustein admitted that these were
'"wild" generalizations, but st ressed that
some in the literary es tabli shment ha ve
looked down their noses at the theatre.
In th ei r view, Sophocle s and
Shakespeare were '" privat e writerswhose poetry is best sca nned in the
stud y, who probabl y would have wriuen
prose fiction if the form had been invented .... It was a professor at Harvard ,
I believe, who compared a course in ac ting to a course in butchering meat. "
University needs arts
Brustein said hi s years as actor and
director have convinced him that "great
works of drama have no reality whatsoever until they have found their ltfe on
the stage. '' Academic . resistance notwithstanding, no university can truly
function ••without the performing arts."
Unfortunately, the same people "who
value professionalism in the humanities
tend to prefer amateurism in the an s. "

The vi siting lecturer said that perfo rming art s organizat ions mu st have a central idea or "mysti que; " their sole purpose is to serve talent a nd not an
audience. Administra tors and those involved in "onero us" fund -raising tasks
must be appreciated, but they shouldn 't
dominat e, he stated . Brustei n lamented
that certai n th ea tres no w det ermine their
sc hedules based on a udi ence qu es tion naires . "One large, prestigious theatre
organiza tion in the mid -west seriously
co nsidered repl acing its artistic di rector
wi th a comput er. "
Witho ut a cen tr al ''idea," he said.
such theatres "m ight as well be runnin g
a processin g plant or a fas t- food chain ."
Reagan cuts signal a demise
In a separate question-and-answer session, Brustein said the Reagan budget
cuts signal " an unheralded and un precedented" demise of " 50 years of
progress" in the art s. He compared the
70 cen ts per capita spent o n the a rt s in
the U.S ., 10 $3 .50 in England, $3 in
Vienna and Sl2 in Denmark . Art s funding shou ldn' t ha ve to be pitted again st
money for the poor and unemployed.
Not only is thi s not th e case in Euro pe,
but the opposition is a fa lse one, he sa id .
The real co mpetition is with the defense
budget , "one of incalc ulable wa ste ."
Brustei n added, ' "The money give n to
the art s before the cuts co uld run th e
Pentagon for eight hours."
8rustein said the arts should not have
to "be pushed into the markets," but
right now, .. we're all in the brothel ," he
continued, citing increased pressure for
public lelevision to run commercials,
theatrical producers looking for surefire hits, etc. Collective ans groups and
the avant-garde will really suffer, he
said, adding that several adventurous
theatre groups have already bit the dust.
Brustein is also a professor of English,
an a uthor, critic, producer, and a contributor to the New York Times.

Alamo exhibit recalls yesterday's America
By MARY BETH SPINA
A tour through yesterday' s America
awai ts visitors to Beck Ha ll ' s Alam o
Gallery where the wfl&gt;d and ce ramic
crea ti o ns of a Bethlehem Park trainman

and a Town of P omfret housewife are
o n exhibit through Au gust 14 .
Peggy Aular's ceramic barns are
faithfu l reprod uctions of rural architec·
ture d ow n to a s tand of bright
sunnowers waving in the breeze bes id e
one, and the old tires and strewn fa rm
im plement s in the yard of ano ther.
Freshly picked grapes, basketed and
read y for shipping , sit in the coo l shade
of the entrance of a thi rd. And
"emb lazoned with a freshl y painted sign

urgin g, "Chew Mail Pouch To bacco . ..
Treat Yourself to the Best," a fourth
recall s the rural o utd oor ad vert ising
which once doued backroads America .
Each of the barns, in faded grays,
greens and reds, has its ow n cha racter,
its own a rchitectural style reflecti ng the
type o f a nimals, machinery or produce it
was designed to shelter. With roofs
sprout ing the inevitable " lightn ing
rod s, " some of the barns are more
elaborat e than o thers. But mos t are co nstru cted so the viewer ca n glimpse effects of the work ro utinel y performed
there.
Mrs. Aular, who has studied art and
ceramics at the State U niversit y College
at Fredonia since 197 1, says she became
fascinated with barns as a result of
dri ves through C hautauqua Count y.
Copied in clay from the ori gina ls, her
struct ures are made to the scale of onefourth inch to the fooL
She happens to like barns
"Some people.. like to craft houses in
ceramics, using various styles of ar chitecture. I just happen to like barns,"
she explains. Every barn is different.
Some have silos for grain storage; others
are stark , square. Some have obivously
enjoyed elaborate additions as the need
for more space arose.
Mrs Aular's choice of barns fo r her
work was dictated by those she saw as
she drove. Likely looking buildings were
then sketched and ca refully exami ned ,
outside and, if possi ble, inside .
Although she always auempted to gel
the owners' permission to ta ke closer
looks, it wasn ' t always immediately
possible.
Some farmers , a lerted by t he
neighborhood grapevine that someone
was walking around their barns with pad
and pencil, thought Mrs. Aular a
trespasser, but softened once she explained.
·
One barn owner was particularly
relieved to discover Mrs. Aular was
there for purely artistic reasons. The
lady had feared her visitor was from the
tax assessor's office!
Once her sketch is made and transferred to Cardboard in the appropriate
dimensions, Mrs. Aular treats the clay
like cookie dough, rolling it out and
W...pping it to keep it to the desired
dquee o( ~ness . After all flat paru

are cut , "runn y" cla y is used to join t~e
sides and roof for firing. She fi res detail s
separately and add s them o n. Acrylics
are used for the colors of the barns as
well as for the implemenrs. flowers. and
mhe r authentic touches.
Ahhough Mrs. Aular is partial to
barns. she a lso ha s enjoyed maki~g
whist lin g figures and Japanese bunal
pieces.
He r barns have been ex hib ited
previous ly at the Point of View in
Wi ll iamsvi lle, at State University College at Fredonia , in Buffa lo' s J arel
Ga llery and at Carborundum in Niaga ra
Falls.
The authemicit y of her creation s may
well stir hi stori cal in terest in the future.
Some o f the barns done a few years ago
a re no lo nger standin g . Bu t the
fa ithfuln ess of the reprodu cti ons is ap.
pare nt, even to the owners.
"One. quite by chance, saw a rephca
of her barn a t the Point o f View , " says
Mrs. Aular. "and she immediately
recognized it.··

chief antagonists, Custer and Sitting
Bull, a re amo ng those to be found on the
board .
Each o f the 32 intricatel y carved
pieces , hand painted in watercolor , took
an estima ted fo ur days to carve from the
pine which Zi mm erman prefers fOr mo st
of hi s work . The set, like most pieces on
exhibit , is for sa le. It , howeve r, is the
most experisive in the show, ca rr yi ng a
price tag of S2500.
Others of Zimmerman 's figures are
eq uall y nawlessly done, although less
expe nsive.
A plaid-shirted fisherman , sleeves
rolled ca re lessly, tackle box at his side,
dozes on a bank , and waits for a tug on

flamin go, characteristicall y perched on
o ne leg in a cove dotted by cattails and
drffiWood, tentatively tes ts the water
with the other foot.
A colorfully-garbed clown, frozen in
Emmell Kelley Sr.'s well-known
likeness, broom in hand , sweeps up a
spotlight 's circles .
Main Street, USA
As Alamo Gallery visitors inspect the
minjatures of Main Street , U .S.A., a
large tableau carved by Zimmerman,
they see a husband and wife stand by as
their new refrigerator is carefully roped
and hauled down a ramp by an employee
at Kramer Packing and Shipping Co.

(formed, says the bu ildi ng's sign, in
19 17). At AB Farm Equipment and Fertiliz er Building down the block, two men
cha t abo ut the virtues of a shovel one
hac purchased, while on the back
loading area , th ree employees a re getti ng
a breath of air. Farther down the street,
bales stand neat ly at the end o f the
workday at the Cotton Fib re Separation
Mill. And at the edge of town , two farmhand s take thei r ease alongside a
haywagon, d own the hill from a finely
deta iled barn.
Elsewhe re in the Ga llery are Zimmerman 's model planes ... a Boei ng Crop
Duster, a red Fokker DRI, a dashing
purple and green Fo kker DRII and a
Hansa-Brandenburg W29 amo ng them .
Carefull y detailed, the planes feature
strut s made of broom straws tw isted an d
•
braided .
Zim merman, who 's been ra ilroading
since 1955, had his interest in ca rvi ng
sparked by model plane kits a s a
you ngste r and by his father' s creative
talents. His parents ow n the Lamplite
Gift Shop in Springbrook which feat ures
ma ny restored a ntiques which the elder
Zim merman has lovingly wo rk ed on.
Zim merman 's brot hers , while no t as
" int o" art and craft s, dabble in them
occa sionall y.
The too ls of hi s craft lie in hi s
Bethlehem Park basement-a set of
chisels, Exacto knives, drill -type motor
tools to save time on so me o f the la rger
pieces, files, brushes, paint and ... Banda ids !
Using discarded ch unk s of wood ,
some provided him by people at
Chenango Steel, he carves ei th er single
pieces or parts which are later attached
wit h wooden pegs and El mer's glue. The
arms on the chess set pieces a s well as the
arrows on the braves a~e attached in thi s
manner .
Zimmerman says he wo uld like to
carve in the future other chess sets based
on his10 ri cal motifs. "Cort ez and
Mo nt ezuma, the Cru sades, for instance ,

are two which come to mind and wou ld
lend them selves well to a chess set," he
explains. It's o bvious while Zi mmerman 's best grades in sc hool were in art ,
he knows hi s histor y pretty well, too.
World War I planes
The planes he chooses to copy are all
World War I vintage. Those of World
Wa r II were generally not as colorful or
exo ti c, he says, although he did carve
and paint a German Night Fighter which
had considerable detail." After weeks of
work, my dog ate it; I never made it
ove r·; " he laughs ruefull y.
Zi mmerman also has done some landscapes in oils and has created birds in
chalk . But it is the ca rving that he
focuses on . His works have been shown
at ex hibits in East Aurora, Iroquois
Central and some are for sale in hi s
fa ther 's shop in Springbrook .
He has also handcarved knife handles,
pistol grips a nd fishing rods for himself
a nd friends .
While he favors pine for most of hi s
wo rk , he occasionally uses some of the
ha rder woods , such as walnu t. The most
beautiful wood is rosewood, he says.

Scarecrow show coming
Alamo Ga llery Director Bert Grobe says
the current exhibit has been wellreceived, gauging fro m comments by
visito rs. It is bu t the second sho w in the
Gallery's sho rt history to feature crafts;
the other was an exhi bition of haridmade
quills.
Grobe says he hopes to stage an exhibit perhaps later this year or early next
which features scarecrows, another piece
of Americana well documented
photographically in a recent book.
"Each region typically has its own
style, dress and cons truction for
scarecrows- they' re not all alike by any
means," says Grobe. What's more,
these mute bird-and pest-chasers are attracting interest in various museums
thro ughout the country.

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

SUNY levies $1 million worth of additional fees
SUNY has adopted a schedule of new
and revised fees in line with a stipulation
in the 1981-82 budget that the university
system generate an additional Sl million
this year through " miscella neo us fees ."
A portion of the changes are to
become effective in September of this
year; the remainder in January 1982.
Harry K. Spindler, vice chancellor for
finance and business, outlined the new
fee stru cture in a mem o to ca mpu s
president s in early June . Some of the
changes affect U/ B directly and some
don't; all were arrived at after being
d is cu ssed with ind ivi dua l campus
presiden ts, business o fficers .a nd chief
librarians, Spindler said .
Seven kinds of fees are involved:
I. The undergraduate application fee
will increase from $9 to SIO. This fee is
collected primarily through the Applications Processing Center in Albany. This
hike has no direct impact on U/ B,
according to deputy vice president
Robert J. Wagner, but is expected to
add $100,000 annually to SUNY coffers.
Effective date is January 1982.
2. A new eraduate appllcallon fee of
S20 has been imposed , an amount which
Spindler calls "consistent with
application fees ch8.fJed at most major
graduate institutions." This r~. to be
collected by individual campuses, will be
split between SUNY and individual
units. SUNY expects to realize $100,000;
U / B's ~timated take will be $40,000$50,000 and will be used to partially offset some of the costs invol ved in
handling grad applications . Effective
date is January 1982. U/ B will have to

set up a collections mechanism, Wagner
said .
3. A SUNY-wide professlonalappllcall!&gt;n fee for applicants to degree pro-

grams in medicine, dentistry, opto-try , pbanucy and law is being
established also effective Januarjr 1982 .
U / B currently has a S35 fee for med and
dent and a S25 fee for law. The SUNY
regulation continues the same assessment for med a nd dent applicants and
imposes a s.imilar fee on those applying
to pharmacy. The law fee will be reduced to $20. U / B up to now has kept all
the fees it assessed for these applications-n ow Albany will take half.
SUNY projects revenues of $700,000
system-wide from the fee with Albany
retaining $350,000. U/ B expects at least

$72,000 from med , dent a nd law , but
has no estimate on what the pharmacy
fee will produce. Cu rrently , funds deriv ed from the med ical applications fee
support 5 y, FTE in the School of
Medicine .
4. A late ~istration fee of 520 is to be
added starting in September 1981. Now,
some SUNY units charge a varying fee
for lat e registration: o thers - U/ 8
among them-charge no thing. The
change requires all campuses to define
late registration and cha rge a fee . U/ 8
will have to compl y.
5. The transcript fee will be increa.&lt;ed

by $1. Present policy allow s one free
transcript and sets a S2 fer for each additional one ($3 if billed) . Because of
"escalating handling costs," the fee is
being upped to S3 ($4 if billed). Ca m·
puses will retain Sl of the S3 fee and
$1 .50 of the S4 assessment. U / B expects
a total of $30,000 co mpar ed to
$8,000-S IO,OOO being realized now .
6. A change in SUNY policy on
library fines will not affect local opera·
tions. A fines schedule is preseml y in
effect here, and collections are made .

Why do students stay here in summer?
By MICHAEL BROWN
Why Buffalo? What could possibly be a
gcxxt enough reason for a student to stay
in the .. Queen City" for the summer?
After all, isn' t nine months out of the
year here enough for any o ut-o f-towner?
Even upperclass men who have endured
longer than most and have acquired

somewhat of a taste for this ci ty , still
find the "old home-t own" the best place
to SJXnd their summers . Right?
Not necessarily.
You can find a relatively large number
of ou t- of-tow n students in Buffalo thi s
summer and their reasons for being here
are about as numerous as they are.
Gary Kinsel, a senior legal studies ma jor from Erie, Pa., says that practicality
played a major part in hi s decision to
stay... In my particular situa tion I would
have had to take too many credil hours
next term in order to graduate on time.
Besides," says Gary, "t he sales position
I had at J .C. Penney' s throughout the
school year was offered to me if I stayed
here th is summer." While Gary's decision was a pragmatic one, he added he
had also heard good things about Buffalo from students who had already
stayed here. Assesses Gary, "So far, it
has been a worthwhile experience and all
my expectations have been met."
Some students have found that spending a summer in Buffalo is enjoyable
enough to come back for more . Sue Op_sa

Why do
students stay here?
penheimer, a seni or managemen t major
from Bria rcl iff, N.Y., is spending summer vaca tio n in Buffa lo for the- second
time. Notes Sue, " I had a reall y good
time in Buffa lo last summer, so sta ying
here again was a n easy deci sion for me.
Many of my friend s were up here last
summer and we found that Buffalo had
a lot for us to do. I especia ll y enjoyed
goi ng to Delaware Park to watch
Shakespeare," she adds.
When asked about the transition f rom
dorm-li fe to bei ng on her own , she
repo rted th at off-camp us ' 'S tudent
housing is still a pretty good deal in Buffalo, and my work-study job helped."

~

for a second time is Bob Cornick, a
senio r account ing major from Plainview, N .Y . "I found last summer in Buffa lo to be a nice experience," recalls
Bob. "I knew quite a few people who
were also stayi ng here so the social li fe
was good . " But what impressed him the
mos1 was what he calls the "relaxed atmosphere." "I worked in Manhauan
for the first two month s of this su mmer
and it didn 'l take long before I mi ssed
Buffalo, ' ' he confesses. "It's a very perso nable town and the pace is much more
10 my liking. It 's good to be back."
Tom Mendolia , from Islip , N.Y., told
the Reporter he reall y didn't enjoy last
summer in Buffal o, but he ca me back
anyway. A sked w hy, T om sta ted he was

"too busy" last summer -

having to

st udy for the Med Boards while taking a

yea r of physics just took up all his time.

"On the o ther hand, thi s summer has
been much more enjoyable ."
"I get all my ho ur s in at the Erie
Cou nt y Medical Center (ECMC) on the
weekend shift and the rest of the week is
mine," he says. "With more time on my
hands," he' s discovering the city. Tom
graduated from U / B with a degree in
medical tech nol ogy and is waiting to
hear ~bo ut medi cal sc hool.

Not all want to be here
Not all student s thi s su mm er arc here by
their own choice . Take the case of Ahmed Zaatari, for instance. Ahmed , a
senior electrical engineering major,
would prefer to be at home. The onl y
problem is that hi s hometown is Sidon,
Lebanon. "Originally I had plans ton y
home right after the spring semester bu t
because o f heav y righting around my
area in Lebanon this wasn't possible. "

says Ahmed. While his going home and
seeing his family has had to be postponed for now, Ahmed is relaxed about it.

Fu tore delays in budgets
will disrupt the State,
Comptroller Regan warns
If State employees think the o nly effect
of last spring's 42-day budget impasse
was paychecks issued in "scrip," wait
until next year's sc hool tax hikes.
The record -long delay, according to
State Comptroller Edward V. Regan,
cost taJtpayers "dollar for dollar" a
whoppi ng $36 million.
"And if you think that's bad, see
what happens next year if there' s even a
delay of two days," he thundered .
Regan, on the Amherst Campus Friday to address the Western New York
Conference on Law and the Public
Schools , took the occasion to release the
results of a survey conducted by his office on the State's school districts and
counties. The survey, which gauged the
impact of the budget delay, elicited a 91
per cent response from school districts
and a 86 per cent response from counties.
Regan confirmed what most of the
~gP,aJ_l~ alr~y1 ~ !&lt;~~CW: that the
s~htdistric~, took' one of the llu-gest
financial losses because they were foroed
to borrow funds or redeem investments
to pay bills. Erie County alone "will
pass onto the taxpayers" approximately
Sl million in losses; $966,000 coming
from 28 out of 29 school districts and
$83,000-in lost revenue to the oounty.
Delayed payment to the Teachers
Retirement SyS\q!l caused the system to
lose $4 .3 million in interest earnings that
likely will be passed to its members in
the form of higher contributions. ·

promptly will protect themselves frOJII
such future occurrences eiiher .by iiot

bidding on State contracts or by bidd ing
higher. What this whittles down to,
Regan said. is increased costs for goods
and services whi ch the taxpayer - in
one form or another - is bound to abso rb.
It's imperative for the Governor and
legislative leaders to take measures now
to prevent any future budget hang-ups,
explained the Comptroller. The reason is
that for the first time next year, the
legislative and executive branches of
State government will assume control of
$7 billion more in Federal monies, with
SL5 billion of it going to block grants.
While the intent of the change was right ly to give the lawmakers more flexibility
and discretionary powers in funding
decisions, Regan said the move also
brings added complications to the
budgetary process.
For instance, Regan continued, 2S individual grants in elementary and secondary education have now been consolidated into two major block grants.
The only restriction tbe Federal government puts on block grants is t!Jat the
" money be spent in the same field."
Even mOft headaches
.
The Comptroller's obvious message,
which he took the opponunity several
times to underscore, was that if
legislators and the Governor experienced
problems this year in doling out S 16
billion, next year's increased budget will
bring even more headaches .
To properly handle the matter, Regan
suggested, "full time legislative
sessions" might be in order. In a letter to
State officials, he has also recommended
early submission of the budget bilL That
way, discussion on it qm be initiated
sooner and the Govel1)or and legislative
leaders can be committed to target dates
for completion o f business.
If such measures aren't taken, Regan
warned that "there will be an enormous
disruption to the civil and social fabric

Reduce sex stereotyping, Hansen urges
By ANN WHITCHER
H~r themes were familiar, but spoken

with such clarity and precision that no
one seemed to mind. She was also easy
on the social science jargon. That's
alway a plus.
Dr. L. Sunny Hansen, founder of
Born Free , a federally- funded program
to reduce sexual stereotyping in education, said here last week that career
education hasn't kept pae&lt; "wi th the
reality of social change.' '

Hansen, professor of counseling and
st udent personnel psychology at the
University of Minnesota, was on campus
J uly IS to address the fourth Summer
Forum sponsored by the Faculty of
Educational Studies (FES).
Career counselors, she said, must take
a long look at sexual stereotyping,
especially when the world is changing so
drastically. For one thing, women now
comprise 42 per cent of the U.S. labor
force. In Minnesota, she added, only six
per cent of all [amities fit the "traditional" model, where the wife stays at
!.orne with the children and the husband
is sole breadwinner. Even the traditional
woman finds her tasks of child-rearing
completed at an average age of 37; many
of these women are now entering the
ranks of the "displaced homemaker" or
are seeking renewed career training or
education.
Still , Hansen indicated, ca reer
educators persist in advancing outmoded vocational models, or worse , in unconsciously coloring their career advice
with sexual stereotyping . Both young
men and young women, stated Hansen ,
are adversely affected b y the " narrow
range'' of career choices.

Waiting !or Prince Charming
The visiting lecturer pointed to a 1975
study of 32,000 eighth graders, in which
the kids said they wanted more help in
career planning . At the same time,
Hansen said, there are "pockets of
resi stance," no t only among the more
vocal religious fundamentalists, but al so
among college-age wo men . Here, the
notion persists that Prince C harmi ng
will determine eve r y thin g. Caree r

wor,shops held this year fo r college
seniors at the Universit y of Minn esota,
she said, failed to attract fe mal e
students. When queried , the women

responded that they couldn't plan a
career ••until they knew who they we re
going to marry ." In 1981 , this is an
••overwhelming" state of affairs ,

Hansen lamented.
She listed several barriers to fe male
development , including .. sex role co ndi tioning," lack of work orie nt ation or
planning (because arrival of a Prince

Charming is anticipated), general lack of
power or self-direction , a nd persistent
sex bias and instances of sex discri mina -

reali zes that he has lost precious time
with his so n.
What ever the sex-based expectations
o f men, they remain basically
"positive," said Han sen. The message
is: grow up a nd ac hieve. For women, the
message is usually the op posite.
Repeating the need for improved career
educatio n for women, H ansen said that
women despite their increasing
numbers in the work force- are co n fin ·
ed to jobs that "aren't se lf- actualizing ...

M .. llanprobletlls,too
Citing various research studies, Hansen
traced a number of themes concerning
men's sCxual conditioning. These included the .. limiting environment" of the
elementary school, an adolescent period
in which sports are the "metaphor" for
aggressiveness, and a later s tage
characterized by fear of intimacy or
emotion (and occasional homophobia).
Later, men "are expected to be successful ;" thiS causes anxiety for some.
Others are vexed by modern feminism .
Sometimes, she said , men just aren ' t
free to express the full gamut of their
emotions, or are cut off from nurturing
roles because of social conditioning. In
the film, Kramer vs. Kramer, Hansen
pointed out, a newly single father struggles to create a home for his son . And, in
what turned out to be the day before
Harry Chapin's death, Hansen quoted
at length the late singer's "The Cal's in
the Cradle." Here, a father bitterly

final dollar figures for hi gher educat ion
week, U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell urged
educacors to prevent future funding
crises through more political awareness
and action.
Addressing the 1981 National

Assembly of the Council for the
Advancement and Support of Education
in Washington, the veteran Rhode
Island senator who is known as a cham-

pion of education told delegates that a
chief cause of the current funding problem is political isolation on the part of

people involved in postsecondary education.

The senator described major differences between the House and Senate

with regard to proposals for Federallyfunded student loans and gran ts and
national research cuts. Those proposals
were being addressed in concurrent

Capitol Hill sessions aimed at a recon ciliation bill.
"These are the options from which we
must choose. They are not good
options. In fact , it is estimated that these

/

this happen?" asked the Senator who
feels the true strengt h of a nation is
based not o n the number of its weapo ns
but on the character and education of its
peopl&lt;.
"This is no t something new that came
upon us overnight, " he answered,

adding "the seeds of what is happening
to higher education toda y were sown
long ago. Too many cha nces to get
in volved in the process have been passed
and too many tim es the acti vi ties
necessary to malce a difference were not
undertaken ."
Pointing to speci fi cs, Pell referred to
the very popular and s ucce ssfu l
Middle Income Student Assistance Act
of 1978 which for the first time made
some form o f Federal student assistance
available for virtually evef?-A. merican .

" Colleges should have seized the
initi ative and informed Federal policymakers of the importance of thi s. W e
should have been inundated with letters,
letting us know tha~ without thi s important meas ure millions of young people
may have had to defer or abandon thei r

d=ms of postsecondary educati on," he
said.
They weren't.
He also noted that last year' s Senate

higher education options could have the
potential of decreasing college enrollment by 500,000 to 750,000 students,"
he said.

Education Conference report should

have been met with immediate action on

the part of college presidents through

fo r the purpose of explain ing the importance of the legislation for the su rvival
of their institutions.
"Yet , to my k no wledge, not one college president mdde such a visit," he

added .
Get involved
The 1300 delegates were told tha t in spite
o f previ ous unwill ingness or lack of
underslanding which m ay have caused
their political isolation, they must now
get involved and stay involved in the
decisions whi ch affect thei r institutions .
His sugges tions for this involvement
included establishment of higher educatio n political action co mmittees,
stro nger work ing rela tions with students
and thcir families and improved communication about these iss ues wit h all
consti tu encies includ ing the local community.
••J wou ld be willing 10 bel, for example, that th e local dry cleaner has little
appreciation for the Federal budget

H owe~e r, if student s have less money 10

affected," he illustrated.
"The task ahead for all of us in the
next few yea rs is an enormous o ne. Bu t

success in o ur endeavors is vital for the

Women's Studies course would aid
Krason's thinking, Charles Keil suggests
Edilor:
I tuned in late to the debate with Krason
but your July 16th page of it reaffirms
my faith in the lazy, hazy, crazy days of
summer, a time when cranks can surface
and find ample space in the campus
press.
As a fellow crank I agree with most of
- ~Krason's

alienated lives? Throw in those of us
hooked on various forms of spiritualist
escapism and/or superpatriotic
righteousness and that about covers
everybody. But the problems with
civilization fill quite a few newspapers
worldwide every day and even the summer pages of the Reporter are finite.

basic premises: "lhat some

values (or positions) have to be judged
as superior to or better than others,"
that there are "right principles to
organize political society around," that
gender differences have some natural
basis, and on .. the fundamental error of
modem thought: that there is no human
nature, so man is completely
malleable." Right on! Mushy liberals,
muddled Marxists and other believecs in
civilization and progress do misplace a
lot of trust in the Malleability Principle.
Potrian:lliaol p0;.o.
But some of us radicals do nol. Like
Krason, we believe there is a human
nalure and that putting a lot of
exploitative pressures on thar human
nature is very dangerous, but unlike
Kl-ason we think that human nature is
good. In facl, the evidence suggests to us
that human nature is very "socialist,"
wonderfully ecological and thoroughly
"feminist" as well. Recent archeological
work keeps pushing the timelines of
human development further and further
back. It now appears that it took a few
million years, not just a few hundred
thousand, for our bipedal, opposable
thumbed ancestors to de ve lop
cooper a I i ve - egal i Ia ria n - c I ass Je ss
societies, big brains and language. Then
we lived in those classless societ ies for
tens of thousands of years. It was only
very recently, in evolutionary terms, that
civilization , social class, patriarchy .
slowly began to poison our world. It is
only in the past few hundred years that
most of the planers peoples and
resources have been contaminated by
"syphilization" (' 'S nivelization " is
another variant). And it is only in the
past thirty or forty years that hierarchical, competitive, male dominated
institutions and ideologies ha ve been
threatening to destroy all huma n a nd
other complex life forms on the planet.
That our extremely social, very
cooperative, sexually egalitarian human
nature is very unhappy within the current constraints should be obvio us to
everyone. How many millions of
Americans are being given drugs so that
they will continue to be malleable and
appear somewhat sane? And what about
that vast immoral majority that take two
or three or more drugs constantlycigarettes, coffee, sugar, booze, pot,
coke, piUs, mllre piUs, etc.-to put some
craziness back ·into dull, driven ,

...~orrection on pianos
Editor:

.....
In the sixth paragraph of your story on
new pianos for Baird Hall you slated
that "The new buildings, on the other
hand, have eight studios, three
classrooms, one pcrformana: hall, three
to four small ensemble rehearsal rooms
and 22 practice rooms."
My piano justification actually read as
follows :
" ... 8 studios, 3 classrooms, I pcrrormance hall, 3-4 small ensemble rehearsal
.rooms and 22 practice rooms more than
we have in our present facilities."
ll is all those additional rooms ...
which neccsi;italed the . purchase of
lhirty-rour new pianos.

Some summer rndlag suggestions
In closing, some summer reading suggestions for Krason and anyone else seeking
greater clarity on the questions of
human nature, sexual equality and the
roots of all evil. Contemporary
anthropology gives us rich accounts of
pagan life in which men are men, women
are women, and both kinds of adults are
warmly nurturant toward children ,
cooperative with each other and at peace
with nature, e.g. Colin Turnbull's The
Forest People, Elizabeth Marshal
Thomas's The Harmless People. or U/ B
colleague Robert Den tan's The Semai: A

Nonviolent People. Marshall Sahlin 's
Stone Age Economics, especially the
chapter on " The First Affluent
Society," reveals in detail the socioeconomic basis for sexual equality and
maximum leisure in hunting and gathering societies. Philip Slater in Earthwalk
is very eloquent about the emergence of
patriarchy and the great distortions in
our thought and action such an institution imposes upon us all . And Dorothy
Dinnerstein's The Mermaid and the
Minotaur probes the roots of sexism
more deeply than any book I've tried to
read. Working through the reading list
of one of the very best courses orfered at
this university, WSC 213 " Women in
Contemporary Society'' would surely
help Krason think more clearly and
factually about the issues that concern
~m.

Headline on Krason's letter
found 'misleading,' unfair
F..ditor:

"Who know s what evil lurks in the
hearts of men ? " asked the voice o n the
radi o. "The Shadow know s, ·' it
answered .
Thus went the o peni ng of the popular
radi o detective thriller, The Shadow.
Would it be fai r then to say, "The
Shadow knows the heart s of men are
evil"? No , that was not what the nar~
rater said . Rathe r, he said that the
Shad ow know s what evi l lurks in 1he
hearts of men .
I bring this up, of cour se, because of
the headline placed over a leue r fr om
student Stephen Kraso n in the last issue
of the Reporter: "Human nature evil,
Krason says. " Well, Cal vin said we are
depraved , Freud said we ha ve a deat h
wi sh, but readin g that letter I found that
Krason did no t say thai human nature is

evi l. Ra ther , he said at o ne point that
even if the sexes we re '" made equal,"
so me people will still engage in sexua l
immorality and be pro mi scuou s,
"because o f the weak ness and evi l in
human nature. " To sa y in a headline
then tha t Krason believes human na!Ure
to be evil in itse lf is unfa ir to him.
Furt he r thi s point was hardly the main
point of Kra so n' s lette r, a d isc ussion not
human nature but o f fem in ist
ideology. If lette rs to the editor are goin g to be gi ve n such mi sleading
hea dline s. yo ur reader s will be
discou raged fro m wa ding into the waters
of controversy in your pages . Word wi ll

-ROBERT WISE

Aubery warns against
'irrational rationality'
Editor:
I understand that the golden rule of
journalism being to separate facts from
opinion and commentary. your report
on Professor Zionts' views (in your July
16 issue) could only state his
acRievements, successes and the recogni tion gained by his work. But. as a concerned reader, I cannot help feeling that
some of the basic assumptions underlying the views expressed have to be questioned.
I would like to submit that the decision making process is not really comparable to mathematical reasoning. It is
not necessarily or likely to point to the
"right" answer beeausc it is based on
mathematical wizardry. At the root of
most decisions there are actually
political and ethical considerations and
computer programs cannot really handle
those parameters better than human beings.
What is at stake here and transcends
the capabilities and uses of computers is
the question of deciding "whether or not
every aspect of human thought is reductible to a logical formalism." (I) The
danger, as Hannah Arendt put it is ' ' an
utterly irrational confidence in the
calculability of reality," (2) which provides people in a position of authority,
military or civilian, with a convenient
shelter to avoid or minimize their personal responsibility in the decisions they
make or endorse.

Logical formali sm and "effective procedures" certainly have their place in the
deci sion making process but we should
not forget that literature. the arts and to
some extent religions alone can
humanize it and help us to avoid the irrationaJ, inhuman "rationaJity" of so
many of the decisions made by the
economic and political leaders of the
world.
The argument imperfectly sketched
above is not the result of the broodings
of a frustrated humanist. It was
originated by eminent members of the
computer science community and is fully
developed by Joseph Weizenbaum, of
M.l.T., in his book Computer power
and Human Reason: From Judgment to
Calculation. (San Francisco . 1978),
from which I borrowed tny;quotes.

Critic blasts
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT '
Instead of eliminating some health care
programs, Ronald Reagan is reduci ng all
of their budgets by 25% , an approach
that addresses only the crisis of health
care costs, not the cri sis of need , says a
presidential critic who advocates national health insurance.
Dr. David Kotelchu ck, an affiliate of
Health / PAC, an independent research
and educa t ion o rg aniz ation that
monitors health system s, spoke about
the repercussions of the imminent cutbacks to about 20 people gathered in
Squire Hall on Monday for the second
Colleges' summer lecture, o ne of six in a
series focu sing on the decline and revival
of the Great Lakes cities.
The social activis t of jhe 60s who has
turned his energies toward obtaining
good healtl! ' tare . for all (besides his
Ph .D. in physics from Cornell, he has a
degree in occupational health from Harvard) agrees with the administration that
health care costs are astronomi call y expensive.

The editor of Prognosis Negative: Crisis
in the Health Care System pointed out
that on the average, physicians earn
$80,000 a year. He mocked the idea that
they deserve that much money. But it's

Forty per cent of health ca re costs a re

During the last decad e, health care

they were led by hospital costs that in +

It was, by the way, in 1965 that na tional health insurance for th~ poor and

Instead of pressuring the heahh care
industry to restrict it s own cos ts, Ronald
Reagan has promoted the 25'To acrossthe-board cuts in the federal allocation
of health ca re fund s, Dr . Kotelchuck
said .

Philharmonic's Trott helps cultivate the piccolo's charm
Philharmonic mu sicia n Laurence Trott
has made a specialty o ut of his lovely in·
strument, the piccolo (full name : f/auto
piccolo, Italian for small flute) . This instrument which sounds a full octave
higher than the standard co ncert flute ,
has unusual freshness and appeal. It also
has a wonderful power to depict bird
song.
Trott was here recentl y to address a
Black Mountain College II class conducted by Jeanne-Noel Mahoney. As
part of the course, student s all ended and
critiqued various local arts events, in·
eluding The King and/, a June 27 recital
by U / B pianist Yvar Mikhashoff, and
Trott's "For the Birds" program held
June 26 at Daemen College. Troll
played compositions from hi s recording
of the same name along with other
works . He then agreed to meet
Mahoney's class; although many of the
students were not avid concert-goers,
their question s were sensitive a nd ontarget.
One remarked , " You must know a lot
about birds; you suggest them so
beautifully ." Another co mmented:
"The sounds were so real, it made me
feel like I was going through the zoo."
One woman was obviously impressed
by Troll's pioneer efforts to forge a new
repertoire for th e piccolo . She told Troll
his activities would make a good subject
for a film .
A lrtlllblaur In creating a place for the
plttolo
Trott is indeed a trailblazer in creating a
new place on the concert stage for the
tiny, beguiling piccolo. Until now, only
a smattering of solo piccolo scores have
been available. Troll is founder and artistic director of the 100-member PICCOLO society, an acronym for "People
Interested in Cultivfting the Charm of
the Little Octave flute." The idea is to
conduct research and commission new
wQTks for the piccolo, the highest pitched woodwind instrument in the modem
orchestra.
Because of his pioneer activities, Trott

has been dubbed "the Paganin i o f the
piccolo" by critics on both coasts. In
conjuncti on with PI CCO LO , Troll has
commissioned more tha n 15 wo rk s for
the dim inut ive instrum ent , including
work s by U / B co mposers Leo Smit and
Lejaren Hiller. Hi s repert oi re extends
from the middle ages to the 20th century, and includ es music drawn from
folk traditions. Some scores have been
unearthed only by Troll's diligent digging in places like the Ame rica n Music
Libra ry.
Tro tt notes that every nutist ca n play
the piccolo. While a young student at Interlaken , he "was far and away the best
piccolo player." As a piccoloist, he enjoyed the opportunit y to play a lot of
"very difficult" symphonic music. Bu t
there was frustration for Trott , who
joined the Buffalo Philharmonic as piccoloist in 1958 . Though the instrument is
" pi votal" to the orchestra, "there was
never an outlet beyond the o rchestra ."
In the ' 60s, Troll had a few pieces writ -

ten for him. but hi s real rc-,earch did n't
get underway until a fc..., ye-ars ago. He

In his liner notes. Trott says t he choice
of a bird motif wasn ' t accidental. Not
onl y do b{rds si ng in the piccOlo's range,
but "the piccolo is the most ideally
suited of all modem orchestral inst rument s to continu e this association
between instrumenta l mu sic and bird
song. "
Many ways to listen to music
Trott, who is also a founder of Young
Audiences of Wes tern New York,
discussed general art s appreciation with
the Black Mountain II class. The hesitation on the part of the general public to
approach seri ous mu sic is .. out rageous, " he said . .. There are so ~n y
ways to listen ;' ' these include listening
for the melody, or the harmon y, or the
"text ures" of the work .

"Others let their minds go," which is
a ''perfectly legitimate way to listen to
music." Continued Trott: " Most music
is written to be responded to emotional·
ly. The most successful music is not to
be listened to intellectually." For this
reason, Trott likes to " program for a
general audience." It's unfortunate, in
his view, that most adults, after giving
music "a stab," develop "a terrible inferiority complex." Too bad , he said,
because even a mu sic ally un -

sophisticated per~on can capt ure the
es&lt;;;ence of a work .
To Illustrate hi s point. Troll told the
story of a fine ly- honed young string
qua rt et which played 20 minu tes: of Bartok before a group of 20-30 children,
aged 7 to II. at an art s conference at
SUNY / Binghamton . Afterward, the
chi ldren were asked what thoy thought
of the thorny, difficult Bartok work .
One little boy raised his hand, and said,
"That was life, that was everylhing."
Ever busy, Trott will soon play in a
" Hommage a Paris" program in the
French capital. Other Buffalo recitals
are planned as well. The well-received
Black Mountain II course. which
Mahoney conceived and produced, will
probably be offered again in the Spring
of l9g2 . -AW

Everyone knows U I B 's top vote-getter
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
Travis BaJiard 's reputation precedes him
wherever he goes on campus . Elected
last semester to be st uden t representative
to the U/ B Council, he was the top vote·
getter on the ballot and is credited with
bringing in the rest of his slate on his
coattails. Everyone knows Travis.
Some say his popularity-or at least
his visibilit y-came through his roles as
o rientation advisor fo r fres hmen
students and as assista nt to the director
of the Talent Search program.
Ot hers cred it his energy.
" He used to be up at 3 or 4 in the.mor·

To what does Ballard credit hi s apparent popularit y on camp us?
Enthusiasm
" I'm reall y into going to school here ,"
he replied . "Whe n I work o n freshman

Racial tensions
Despite his popularit y among t he st u·
dent electorate, Ballard does not feel
that tension between black and white
st uden ts does not exist .
" There are racial problems in the
do rms and bad attitudes against foreign
students ," he said, "but the only reason
is apathy. Students are not making ef·
fort s to bring differences to light."
As Council rep resentat ive, Ballard
says he will represent every st udent who
goes to this school.
"I t' s reaJiy interesting, " he commented . "When I think of myself as an
American, I think of myself as a Black
American first. But as a student, I am a
stutlen t first. I know I can make changes
at this school. I can overcome biases
agai nst my skin ."
Ballard sees solutions to society's problems coming through the involvement
of people. When people don't get in·
valved , especially when they don't vote,
whether in a student or public election,
" lt grosses me out!" he exclaimed .
This September, Ballard will be ac·
tively involved in getting students
registered, either here or at their homes
through absentee ballots. He'll also be
working in the Buffalo political communit y to help certain candidates and to
register people in the community .
March oo Washington
The NAACP is planning a march on
Washington on September 19 to protest
federal budget cuts. Ballard said he' ll be
there.
"Slated to be cut are programs that
helped me get an education, and helped
my family when I was coming up," he
explained. He's particularly upset by
slated cuts in student loan programs.
"SASU delegates'Will have .an. ad hoc
committee to work against the cuts,' '
Ballard said . "We'll be actively campaigning, recruiting students, going to
activities in Washingtoq, sending letters
to senators and congressmen. 11lat's
why I .want students registered.
"My _parents grew up in South
Carolina," Ballard · explained, "and
when I was litlle we made trips down
there every year. There were still rem·
nants of segreptiOn, certain swimming
)&gt;OOIJ' or- places oi!!Y ~e people used.
Tbefe was a .time w"';n I wanted to go

back to South Caroli na and register
voters. I can't just sit and allow my life
to be affected by outside forces ."
As a young man growing up on the
eas t side of Buffalo, Ballard accompanied his minister father and his
mother " tromping up and down streets"
on election day.
He doesn't buy ' lbt Amerkaa Dream '
Eve n so, Ballard doesn' t believe in the
American Dream, the if-you-work-hard·
enough-you' ll-get-it myth.
" It's part of Reagan economics," he
stated , "that you'll hurt for awhile but
go out and work and yo u' ll make it, with
no biases against you . I don 't believe we
live in that kind of a culture yet."
Last year, Ballard went through a
period of tragic change in his life. His
parents were both killed in a car acci·
dent. He had family business respon·
sibilities to assume; he had to decide
whether or not to stay in school.
To help him make these decisions, he
visited last month an aunt and uncle who
live in Liberia.
"I spent most of my time in the
wilderness, " he said . "I found that
when we're living where we happen to
live, things that occur seem so impor·
tan! , but when we are that far removed,
we can see things differently, look at the
full picture. During my trip, I became
generally more relaxed ."
Ht qootes Cb11rchiU
Since Ballard's political views are
liberal, what does he thirik of a move·
ment by some students toward the con·
servative end of the spectrum?
"Churchill wrote, 'To be 20 and not a
liberal is not to have a heart, but to be 40
and not a conservative is not to have a
brain, • " he replied .
So what will Travis Ballard be when
he' s 40?
" When I' m 40 I' ll be running a major
corporation," he replied , laughing. But ,
after he gets his law degree in ·a few
years, he' d like to run for Masten
District councilman.
" As a child, I lived in the results of
years of segregation and prej udice/' he
related. " When I came.Jtere, I didn't

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.&lt;/p&gt;

Researchers explode theory on dental disease
By MARY BETH SPINA
Research by a team of U / 8 investigators
may explode the widel y accepted theory
that periodontitis, which account s fo r
most adult tooth loss, is always a steadi ly progressive deteriorating condition .
Using a research tool new to dentistry
to measure smaller amounts of bone loss
than is possible with con ventional
X-rays, they found periodontitis ma y
undergo spontaneous remission and , in
some cases, may halt itself to allow
regrowth of jaw bone underl yin g th e
teeth .
The radioi sotope 1HI is u sed in
medicine as the source for special X-ra ys
for quantitative measurement of bone
loss associated with osteopor osis. In
dentistry , however, it has been adapted
for measuring small changes in alveolar
bone mass onl y in patients in Sweden
and the School of Dentistry here .
The researchers monitored fi ve
patients with periodontitis over a sixmonth period. Bone density wa s
measured using "'1. In 30 percent of the
periodontal sites, researchers found
there was either no bone loss or a small
increase in bone density. In 70 percent of
the sites, there was a slow, albeit progressive, deteriorat ion just beneath the
alveolar crest .
The five patients were examined with
125
1 at two-month inter v al s. F o ur

peri odo ntal poc ket s meas ur in g at leas t
five mil li m et ers were used for each
patient. Trea tm ent was p ro vided at the
end of the six mo nth s.
" Since the a mo u n t o f bo ne loss is so

Multiple criteria decision-makingcan make life easier, Zionts says
By MfLT CARLIN
Stanley Zionts happens to be a math
'whiz who is internationally recognized
for his ability to help others make th e
"r ight "
deci s ion in busines s
management-or in any other situation
for that maHer-when there are multiple
choices.
Chairman of the Department of
Management Science and Systems in the
School of Management, Zionts deals in
something he-and others like him-call
''mUltiple criteria decision-making. ••
And as you may have suspected, it's
done with a computer.

As the name tag implies, MCDM is a
technique of arriving at a decision based
on careful analysis of various

criteria-perhaps a few, perhaps
many-to meet one or more objectives.
Zionts explained in an interview that the
system involves setting up a computer
program to provide the most logical
.answer possible-but with no guarantees
that • the recommended decision will
achieve the results desired.
'.' No one can predict what might even- tually happen," he cautioned. "Conditions do change. "
Nevertheless, Zionts' expertise has
given hiili a passport to Europe for most
of this summer via a NATO grant. His
itinerary, involving two trips of three to
· four weeks' duration, calls for a series of
lectures and industrial consultations in
Turkey, Greece, France and · Belgium,
and participation in a NATO-sponsored
course in Portugal.

Wll atte.cl Hambara Bltdi!ll
His plans also include attending a
meeting 9f the International Federation
of Operations Research Societies in
Hamburg, Germany, July 20-24. He is a
member of the committee that organized
the meeting.
Zionts' abiUty in the science of multiple .c hoice decision-making h~ brought
him into contact with some of the
world's largest industries.
·
· ,
He recently received a $7,500 jiran'
frq111 the ·~lc.o!l · Fou,n da'tion ; i~
Pittsbllrgh, ·an ....:n of the Aluminum
Co. of'Ameril:a, to suppc5rt his r~CII.
~ of Zionts' industrial projects in'
volved s!udie$ to provide the basis for

long-range investment possibilities for

S.A. Cockerill, the largest steel company
in Belgium . The method used in thi s

st udy was developed by Zionts and J yrki
Wallenius, who was a student e nrolled at
the Brussels-based European Institute
for Advanced Study in Management
when Zionts was a professor there in

1973-75.
The Belgian firm , Zionts explained,
"wanted to determine what investments
to make in looking at a I 0-year
horizon."

Computer makes decisions
For the NV Philips-Gioeilampen conglomorate at Eindhoven, the
Netherlands, Zionts and Wallenius
helped set up a computer program to
formulate decisions in planning management organization to accommodate
seven basic divisions within the finn.
This major world manufacturer. in-

cidentally, is best known in this country
as the maker of Norelco electric shavers .
Another project in which Zionts was
involved was a study at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory on Long Island for
the U .S. Department of Energy to determine this country's future energy needs.
Zionts sees himself, in his role as a
management scientist, as a designer of
tools which can he used to bUild a structurally sound foundation for decisionmaking.
As an example of how multiple
criteria decision-making might work,
Zionts cited a hypothetical problem
relating to purchase of a new car. He
~sted these four objectives:
-Price (the cheaper the better).
-Low-cost operating expenses (the
more economical the better).
-Roominess (the laraer the better).
-Sporty (the sportier the better).
Noting that the four objectives are in
conflict, Zionts pointed· out, .for example, that the sportiest car is not the
cheapest and that the roomiest car is not
the most economical to run.

In the process of selecti ng a car to pur chase , alternatives co uld be list ed "ex-

by applying constraints, such as a price
ceiling and the minimum number of
passenger spaces that would be accep·

table.
A 1966 PhD graduate of Carnegie
Institute of Technology, where he also
received his B.S. and M .S. degrees, the
44-year-old Zionts has been chairman of
the U/ B School of Management's
Department of Management Science and
Systems since 1978. Before that, he was
acting chairman.

Over the years, Zionts has been a prolific writer of articles for managemem

journals and has authored several books
in his field. He, his wife and their four
children reside in Williamsville.
Zionts, who likes to tell about a visitor
to his office who spotted the letters
MCDM and thought they represented a
Roman numeral, ventured a futuristic

look at the system; pie-in-the-sky, as he
called it.
Faatuy bealmes reality
In this fantasy-or is it?- the consumer
would have a properly programmed
computer in his home, linked to a TV
screen.

The consumer might want to make a
decision regarding 'l!s purchase of a car
or major app~ance; -where to go for a
vacation; what investment to make;
perhaps which of several homes to buy.
In any case, the consumer would
"feed" the computer by listing his or her
objectives. The computer, in tum,
would ask appropriate questions, request definitions of what the consumer
had in lnlnd in making certain stipulations, or might ask for adjectives to f!lrther describe an objective.
Following this "conversation,., the
computer would supply an answer or at
least a set of l!lt~rnatives .

make the firSI

documentary on thh unusual subjec1.

The film is lit led , Out of Order, and i•
intended for public television use.
" II will tell what happened 10 six
women who returned 10 the secu lar
world after spending eight to 15 yea rs in
the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester ,"
sa id Christian, who was a nun in that
order-a religious teaching a-Ad nursing
community-from 1961 10 1969.
ChriSiian addod that tho film will lei
these six women "discuss the religious .
sex ual , social and economic considera ti ons that let them live as nun s and then
aba ndon the convent life."
Christian herself was "propelled ''
from religious life by her strong
disagreement with the Church's stand on
birth control. While a nun. s he earned
ma ster's and doctoral degrees from
Johns Hopkin s a nd ac tuall y wore " the
full habit" for three of those yea rs. She
was a popu lar teaching fellow and wa s
twice named one of the school' s "top
ten university graduate instruct o rs."
Time a nd Life maga zines both wanted to
profile her, but Christian "wasn ' t
interested . "
Christian left the o rder o;; oo n after and
eventually came to U / B where o;; he me t
Bruce Jackson. whom she la ter married .
"We met bv th e sandwich machine in
Annex B. " she remembered . The U / B
professor kept many o f her ti eo;; with
other ex -nuns from the R o~." he s ter o rd e r .
Jackson th o ught their lf:av e-ta kin g
wou ld make a fa sc inatin g o;; oc iol og ica l
stud y, but Christian "didn ' t wan t to be
in vestigated . "
Hn altitude changed
Her alliiUde cha nged. ho wever , as 'i he
"got interested in the question of
women' s experiences ."
She added that Out of Order is "no t
so much about religiou s life a s it is about
th e ki nds of choices open to the wom en
to make. · • Here were six wo men who
had made "two unusual choices, a nd
were at an interesting age." All are now
around 40, she said, a nd entered the
convent "under an older discipline , "
when opinions were more firml y
entrenched and churc h teaching, fo r the
most part, unchallenged.
From a purel y feminist perspect ive,
too, the world was far different. There
were esentially tw o choices for women in
1961, Christian said somewhat
cryptically : virginit y or motherhood.
Against this backdrop, C hri stian
noted, "The film shows a group of
highl y-t ra ined wome n enter in g the
American mainst ream for the first time
in their own middle age. The fe w films
about nuns deal with women sti ll in
o rders and do not raise questions about
what happens when the order breaks
down."
Out of Order has been in production
since February and will be completed
late this year. Tho film doflalos a few
s1ereot ypes about nuns and ex-nuns,
especially the expectalion that sex ual
dysfunction is a necessa ry probletn for
the ex-nun, or thar nuns enter because
they're "afraid of men ."
Intereslingly, most of Lhe ex-nuns feel
"no great discontinuity" be1ween their
present and former selves. Still , there
have been adjustments and · these will be
discussed frankly in tho film, Christian
said .

Three are involved
A s for their present religiou s a c tivitic, ,
o n ly three o f the women in the film a rc
actua ll y " involved with the instituti o na l
church; " of these. onl y one is "acti ve ly
involved. " One woman is a " superb "
poller who makes a marginal living at
her own po11ery in Amhent .
Massachusetts .
"She talks a lot about securit y ,"
Chr istian said , adding that this ex -nun
often compares the difficulty of mak ing
her present living with the relative financ ial sec urit y of conve nt life. They have
" lot s of shots " o f he r practicing her art
and have eve n filmed her at a recent pot ters' show in Baltimore. In August , thi _o;;
ex-nun will be an artist-in -residence at
Artpark and will sta y with Jackson and
C hri stian during that time .
"S he is one of m y best friend s ,"
Ch ri stian related.
Another woman teaches, as she did in
con ve nt days , in a grammar school in
Rochester. She is now married and ha s
three little boys. An01her woman is
single and lives in New York, where she
support s herself by making financial
investments . Another former nun
featured in the film li ves in Uberlandia.
Brazil, where she teaches in an English language school no t far from the
religiou s mission where she once
worked . She is "t&lt;rrifically involved"
with 1he local c hurch, sinss in I he choir

what" researchers wo uld 'iay who ha ve

b io log ical o nc lii- 1 would like t hem to
ide nti fv I hem. Fem ini st literat ure makes
it clear' that proba bl y the central te net of
co ntempo rary feminis m is that the d iffere nces between rhe ge nd ers are no r
na t ural, bur merely cultu rall y imposed.
Thi s is what led James a nd Andrea
Fo rdh a m in thei r book The Assault on
the Sexes to talk ab o ut "the radical
narure of t he femini sr revolution" wh ich
seeks ••to a her our sys rem of se x roles ,
o ur tradirional educa ti o nal va lues and
rhe fundamental direction of soci et y."
In talk ing abour the sex ual relarion ·
ship, these c ritics say chat rhey d o nor
know what I mean by "immoralit y and
sex ual indulgence ." I th ink they actually
do k now what I mean, bu t their apparent desire to defend the sexual
revo lu tion will nor permit them to say
so. Nevertheless, they show that rhey
have a recognitio n lhat there are standards or righr and wrong as regards sexual conduct when theY. use value-laden
words such as " pr6 rniscuit y" and
" puritanism ." Contrary to what Ihey
further say, even if the sexual relation·
ship is '"made equal" (they d o n't sa y
wha t th is means) by feminism , so me

peopl&lt; will still engag&lt; in morall y wrong
se xual conduct and even be promiscuou s. Thi s is bttause or the
weakness and evil in human narure.

These critics also claim that the
feminist view will .. humanize .. the sexual relationship. I pointed out in my leiter how it will actually result in the
drhumanizins of w~men . T.hey never
responded to the points .1 made abou1

the a rgume nt !hat there is a con necrion
berwee n C hri stianit y' s "idea li za tio n" of
women and rheir "degradation" (i .e ..
they suggest rhat rhe one led to the
ot her). The o nl y connectio n that really
exisrs berween whar they ca ll "idealizatio n"-which is really just recognizing
woman's true dignir y as a creatu re of
God and her genuine differe nces from
rhe male which require that she be given
specia l respec1-and "degra d ation" is
that this "idealization" ended rhe true
degradarion !hat rhey we re subjecred ro
in the ancien! pagan socieries. as I
poi nted ou r in m y leller. Eve n while pur·
porting to show Chrisria nity's degrada tion of wome n by quoling Sr. Jerome

I sai d rh ey were in m y letter : humanizing
and elevating influences.
In closi ng. I just say rhar contempora ry femini sm , and rhe views of these
P syc hology Department cr it ics wh o support it, are a reflec tion of rhe modern
obsess ion wilh utopia . Th is obsessio n
first sough ! to transform politics , now it
'ieeks to rrans form ou r mos r inrimate
rela 1ionships and fundamental
u nde rsta ndin g abou r o ur se lves: family
life , relarion s between the ge nd e rs, the
meaning o f what it is 10 be a man o r
wo man . Thi s o bsession was made poss ib le by the fu nda ment a l error of modern
thoug ht : that !here is no human nature.
liiO man is co mpletel y ma llea b le.

Th&lt; Fact that feminism sharos in this
grear error of modern tho ught makes it

unabl&lt; to s&lt;parate !hose aspects of
American societ y's traditional view of

women which are naturally based from
those which are merely con ventio nal and
to try to change the latter, if they are
undesirable. This would be a true service
for women .
We would do well to heed M idge
Deeter's warning that if we head down
the road to the feminist utopia, the day
will come when all of us " men , women,
and babes in arms will reap the whirlwi nd ."

to academic blood lelling budg&lt;l slashos.
It certainly is difficult ror one who

II is woman who maste r!'i !he abstract

Ch&lt;ek it o ut , Mr. Kra son! And while

United Way touches lives, Bemis feels
" Red ''-4kmis firml y believes in the joy
of giving.
Now 60 years of age , the chief jani tor
on the U/ B Main Street Campus has
devoted much of hi s life-for nearl y 40
years-to lending a helping hand to
those in need . Little wonder, then, that
Keith "Red" Bemis has been selected to
serve as captain of thi s year's United
Way campaign at Main Street.

Pri o r to hi s 10-yea r slay at Bingham.
ton, he wa s e mployed as a cleaner and
j a nitor a t SUNY 's Oneonta State College and Delhi Agricultura l an d
Technical College.
Why give ?

Bemis, whose climb up the Civil Service ladder withi n the State University
system took him from "cleaner.. to
"chief janitor," recalled in an interview
that he began his association with

United Wa y -then Community
Chest-in the early 1940s. It happened
in his hometown of West Branch, Mich.,
where he worked as an usher in a movie
hou se .
Bemis voluntarily accepted the chairma nship of the Ogemaw Count y drive
that year when t he woman initially appointed was unacle to complete the job
because of ill health.
"That's when I began to see m y own
need to help other people," Bemis
related. He hasn't stopped si nce.
He betided the custodial drive
Last year, the Custodial Division on the
Main Street Campus, headed. by Bemi s,

exceeded its United Way goal by about
17 per cent, the second year in a row that
rhe divi sion went " over the top ."
Bemis came to Main Streer as c hief
janitor in 1976 from the State Un iversity
at Binghamton, where he served a s head
janiror, the titles being a Civil Service
di stinction .

Wh y sho uld member,; o f the U/ B communit y co ntrib ute to the United Way?
" Everybody's life is touched by th e
United Way rhrough the man y agencies
it support s ," Bemis responded . " It
could be the individual who gives o r
perhaps a famil y member ...
He cired the availability of rhe Red
Cross blood prog&lt;11_m, Boy Scouts who
mig ht otherwise not bt able..,to attend
summer camp, therapy for crippled
children , programs for the ment all y
retarded.
Himself a registered "Scouter" for 50
yea rs , Bemis said one of his fondest
memories is that of a group of Scout s
standing around a campfire, " their
hand s joined in friends hip and br01 hcrl y
love.
"Each one of us becomes hi s
brot her' s keeper when we conrribute to
the United Way, " Bemis ""id. "When
you give, you light a candle of hope."

It pays orr
Bemis reca lled rhat as a member o f

FIS H in Bing hamiOn, he drove a men ·
tally retarded woman to and fro m a
rehabilitation ce nt er one evening a week
fo r lwo years.
"It was a distance of. 10 miles, o r a
total of 40 mil es for !he two round trips
to take her t here and bring her bac k, bu t
it was mos t rewarding," he related .
" She could never read, but o ne ni gh! I
picked her up at 1he cen1er and tea rs
came 10 m y eyes as she opened a book
and read , ' Pe ter, Peler, Pumpk in
Eater. .. ' What a wonderful reward ."
Bemis resides in an apartment in Buffalo during hi s work week, bu t sti ll

where his wife . Genevieve, i.s employed

Rod , their o nl y offspring , is a student
there and work s parHime "to help pay
his own way," Bemis poinred out wi lh
pride.
Looking beyond his wor ldl y deeds,
Bemis confided that he 's convinced
"lhey keep a credit and debit record up
there .
''I' m certain , " he added, "t hat what I
do in a volun tary way goes on lhe credit

Reconceptualize your images, poet asks
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
Lambasting mankind 's lack of
tolerance, the petite black poe! ridiculed
the Moral Majority's intent to boycott
television: "Haven'! they heard of the
·orr bunon? "
The fundamentali s t religious
organization was merely one of many
!hal Nikki Giovanni, a nationallyknown poet and recording artist who
rallied for revolutionary change during
the turbulent sixties, held up for critical
examination to the more than 350 people
gat hered a! O ' Brian Hall July 8 for !he
third Summer Forum morning lecture.
In the early afternoon, about 35 people
reconvened ar Baldy Hall to listen 10 her
expound on her grave concern about tO·

day' s intole rabl e situarion .
Her rapid -fire criticisms were sweetened with humor , her anger tempered with

age.
"We recognize that life is a constant
struggle, " she said , "but we must try to
change those rules of struggling. The
choices we are giving people arf not
fair. "
Spoke as ' 'we' '

Speaking always as "we," Giovanni, 38,
sometimes illustrated herself as a
mother, at times as a black perso n, at
others, as a woman . But always as a collective whole.
In her haste, she jumped from
though! to though!, touching one before
pulling another apart.
She talked about whites trying 10 control blacks. Men women. The old the
yo ung. And she emphasized the absurdi ty of the idea.
"We think we have the right 10 tell
people what 10 do with !heir lives. And
to murder them ," she said with disgust.
Try lo control
By killing people we di slike or di sagree
wirh, she said, we have demonstrated
total control.
We cannot conlinue using and abusing each other, she said, because otherwise, one day, there will be written ,
" And once the re was mankind .''
The evil will never be destroyed, she
conceded, only temporarily defeated .
Referring 10 Darlh Vader, the Star Wars
character who personified the Dark
Lord, Giovanni said that evil will not be
destroyed because, as she reminded her
audience that Darth Vader claimed to
have fathel-ed the movie's her o, Luke
Skywalker, "the evil is us."
"But the effort we put int o trying

-~~-

makes us better ," she said.
People are indeed responsible for
themselves and for their world, Giovanni said . And the least we can do is to
take the time to learn, even though o ur
societ y, she said, thwarts education and
disdains intelligence.
Sometimes we have touted our ignorance .
"Bur there' s no reason in 1981 to be
uninformed . Maybe ill-informed, bu r
not uninformed," said the t 967 Fisk
Universi ty honors grad uate.
Gel educated
She called on her audience to educate
themselves, to t hink about themselves,
to reco nceptualize their images .
She called on them to read .
" If yo u a re not reading," said the

aut hor of Spin a Soft Black Song and
Couon Candy on A Rainy Day, "you
a re not think ing. "
And tOday it is vita l that people think
abo ut who they are and what they do.
Are they using someone or allowing
themse lves to be used?
"We let other people, who neither
know us nor care about us. cont rol our
lives ," she sajd.
Shoo! Reggie?
A Cincin nati , Ohio, resident, Giovanni
re ferred to current newspaper articles
about fan violence. She mentioned a
reporter' s prediction that a baseball
player will so meda y be shot by an angry
fan . She spoke of th e owner of the team .
Mocking her own wo rd s, she said it Y.as
absurd that someone shopld belie' e he

ow ns baseball players .
·'Are some of us owned by others or
not?" she challenged her audience.
Over and over again , she stopped her
nurry of words to ask , "Know what I
mean?"
Over and over again, as she talked
about societ y's att empt to control the
bodies of women by abandoning abortion , about the law's thought to excuse
ki llers like Wa yne Williams in Atlanta
and Jo hn Da vid Chapman in New York
beca use of their mental instability, and
Ame rica's homage to generals and
di srespect of teachers. she interjected ,
" II bothers me ."
"And ," expla ined the edit o rial consultant a nd columnist for Encore

Belief in witches can affect law and psychiatry
A violent murder, perhaps by knife in
ritualistic style, occurs. The accused
pleads innocent, claiming that the act
was done under the innuence of a spell ,
or to save the murdered victim from a
hex .
In such cases, defendants are routinely placed under psychiatric evaluation
and, if convincing enough , a re able to
plead innocent by reason of insa nity .
Bur should such claims be so easily
·
shrogged aside?
One U/ B anthropologist thinks they
should •be explored more fully . Dr.
Phillips Stevens Jr., an expert in African
art' who has studied " witchcraft" in
'various cullures for a numbt:r of years,
feels that the public, psychiatrists,
lawyers and anthropologists should look
at claims of magical interve01ion
seriously in some cases.
Beliefs penisl

"Beliefs in witchcraft persist ," he says,
"and, in times of stress, increase. The
anthropology of witchcraft and irs application is poorly understood, both

wik~~~~du::~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~·

in
the popular sense, to mean "sorcery, or
evil magic, sympathetic magic in the
classic Frazerian -sense, performed for
selfish or harmful ends."
He cites a recen~ Buffalo murder case,

in which a belief in witchcraft was initially alleged to ha ve innuenced the
defendant's beha vior.
" This case revealed that beliefs in
sorcery cou ld have rather serious
judicial implications for which an thro pologists, psychiat rist s and lawyers
a re unprepared ," Stevens sa'ys . " There
exi sts a pro found ri sk in attempting to
interpret belief sys tems engendered in
and s tructured by one c ultural
framework, through models of ' reality '
and principles of etiology developed
from the perspective of another."
Stevens notes that there is ''absolutely
no modern precedent for a defense of a
crimina l act based on belief in
witchcraft," and feels that the implications of exploring such a defense should
be addressed .
Mosl believe in witches
While beliefs in witchcraft are extremely
widespread and deeply rooted , particularly in the American urban environment, they tend to remain covert .from
the mainstream cultu re, Stevens ex·
plains . He adds !hal people 'l'ho profess
not to believe in witchcraft constitute a
tiny minority of rlie world's population .
In a paper presented a! the annual
meeting of the Northeastern Anthropological Association in March,
Stevens described three cases in' which h~

became involved in o fferin g co un sel to
persons who believed themselves victims
of sorcery.
Each of the three women invol ved had
received psychiatric care a"nd had been
dissatisfied with it.
"My three client s were all culturally
marginal people, " Stevens explains.
" All had been partially accu lturated ,
and had fallen back on ex planations
recovered from fheir cultural heritage
after sporadic efforts at achieving relief
through other means had failed.
"Clearly, this supports !he ·oft-heard
plea for more comprehensive and pervasive medical education, specifically 'to
address a problem thai perennially
frustrates Western medical persOnnel
operating in non-Western · cUltural
populations: the sense that allevialion' of
symptoms is tantamount to eradication
of the problem," SteVens says.

"Desperation leads lo vlcllmizalion
When a person feels isolated from both
the mainstream cuhure and tradiJional
friends, who may fear becoming tainted
by involvement, they may become
despera-te . and
vulnera ble 10
fraudulent-and expensive-promises
of magical cures or they ·may resort to
ctiminal acts, Stevens explains.
Anthropologists may be able 10 help
such people, Stevens feels, by relating 10

them within thei r cu ltural framework.
But providing such aid ma y bring new
problems.
" Could a sy mpathetic approach to
witch beliefs, viewi ng them as a
manifestation of an alternate but
cuhurally. valid mode l of 'reality' lend
credibi lit y, even re spectabilit y, to
witchcraft suspicions, o r even as an at tempt to legitimize sorcery'!" Stevens
asks .
" Might such an argument have a
snowballing effect, expecially in these
times of increased fascination with the
'irrational,' encouraging a rguments for
the acceptance of other culturally based
beliefs?" he wonders.
Sud~ implications should be examined
fully ,1te feels.

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

                    <text>Beepers for blind
keep them on track
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
Again and again, a slender, tanned
young woman slowly circled the
cindered -track and ran past the two men
inserting white, plastic pipes into
fluorescent orange construction cones.
The brilliant summer sun beamed out
of the blue sky down onto the green
grass center of the traclc., but it wasn't
the sights that attracted the attention of
the two women seated on a nearby
bench;- it was the sounds emanating
from the plastic pipes.
While her German Shepherd, Indy,
panted in the shade of the bleachers,
Eileen Abbott talked with Colleen McCarthy as they sat together. McCarthy's
red and white collapsible cane was
beside her.
Both Abbott, 25, and McCarthy, 34,
are blind and members of the Independents, a student organization
eStablished to help iliSabled people on

~uple of~· .;go, Abbott, a
physical therapy major and former track
runner, mentioned to McCarthy that she
missed running. McCarthy, a junior studying social gerontology. knew or the
Telephone Pioneers of America, who
helped the handicapped and called them
to ask if they could help the blind run
track.
Ukes to belp
"I like to help people, " Robert Dornan,
the man who invented the ••runner's
guide," a beeping device designed to
guide blind runners, said. " I' ve been
blessed and I want to share that with
others .''
The runner's guide incorporates an
electrouir device that combines two fre·
quencies so that a variety of sounds are
produced . The device is built into the
crook or an L-shaped , two-inch plastic
'(:ipe, which is inserted into the top of a
construction cone. The cone is then posi-

tioned on the track.
Dornan, who graduated from U / 8 in

1974 with a B.S. in engineering, designed the portable runner' s guide wi th

two thoughts in mind. First , the blind
runner must
Secon ~

have a

marked track.

because runners like to know

where they are on a track, he designed
the electronic devices so that the rate of
the two frequencies could be varied.
then combined , to produce different

sounds .
,.Once they become accustomed to the
sounds , they'll know where they are ,' '
he said.
Each cone is identified by frequency
and rate with Braille tape.

A futul'f Pioneer
Doman, a supervising engineer, has

been a New York Telephone Co.
employee for 16 years. He is not a
member of the Pioneers, since members
must have at least 18 years of service
With ate1C$hone coinPanY. But he considers himself a future member.
George Wendel, vice president of the
organization that has 2,100 Western
New York members, considers Dornan

the Pioneets' resident genius.
When Wendel received the call from
McCarthy, he turned to Doman .
It was Dornan who designed the run ner' s guide and it was Doman and his
wife, Nanette, who built his invention in
their home workshop .
Material cost was Sl20 for the 12.
Dornan said . A local plumber who knew
the project was for charity sold him the
plastic pipe at cost. The te lephone company donated the cones.
"It's not true that everybod y is out
for themselves," Dornan said.
The Pioneers certainly aren't. Found~
ed in 1911 , the organization is commit·
ted to employing their elect ro ni c exper.
tise to aide the handicapped, needy and
aged.

Recent ly, the Pioneers donated " VisCorns " to 14 local individuals. The VisCom utilizes the touch~10ne dial to allow
the deaf to spell words via the telephone.
One push of the asterisk buuon indicates

yes ; two no . One push of the A-B-C but ton indicates A; two B: three C.
Annually , the Pioneers spo nsor Eas ter

egg hunts for blind children. They create
"Chirping Eggs" by inserting electronic
devices that imitate the sound s o f birds
into plastic L ' Eggs co ntainers.
Vanella Williams, president o f the
Pioneers, believes that helping the blind
become mo re independent is worth y of
the work of her organiza ti on.

He said it worked like a horrllng device.

McCarthy is especiall y pleased with
Dornan's running invenrion, because
her nine-year·old daughter, who has vi sion problems that will progressively
worsen as she ages, wams to learn how
to run track .

McCarth y said she has begun to ride a
bike again , because of another Pio neers
donation, a "Cricket," an electronic
device that beeps. Atta ched to a sighted
person's bike, the Cricket beckons th e
blind person to fo ll o \1. its sound .
The Cricket was the first device the
Pioneers gave to the Independent s.

Mikhashoff's artistry beguiles audiences
By ANN WHITCHER
He.reaches out to audiences with cool,
eloquent commentary.
Then he packs a.-wallop with his
masterful technique.
He is Yvar Mikhasboff, member or
the U/ B piano faculty, a musician
known for his beguiling mix or artistry,
programming skill and plain ol' entertainment. His programs are so interesting and artfully constructed that
they' re musical compositions in
themselves. Most pianists simply select
pieces they wish to play. Mikhasboff, on
the other hand, wants programs that are
"unified" and "well-constructed in

some way."
Take his recent four-recital E/qtlnt
Elflltils series, for instance. Tbe UIB
pianist wanted to play works by lb
Norholm and James Sellars, as weD as
Liszt and Satie. Could an appropriate
program be constructed? When an
1880's to 1980's theme started to
emerge, Mikhashoff consulted mu&amp;ic

dictionaries to see if interesting group-

referred to the rhythm s of one work as

ings could be round.
In Liszt, Satie, and Modern Friends,
the first recital in the series, two Liszt

"erased blues" and described Satie' s
famous Trois Gymnopedies as having
the effect or "a cool glass or white
wine."
Other signs of Mikhashoff's nair for

nocturnes were paired with two by

Sellars. The latter are titled Spanish
Dreams-French Dreams and were written this year r or Mikhasboff.
In another program in the series,
Amuicol/age I, the artist followed the
~~~xperimental " strain in American
music, from a Scott Joplin rag to Henry
CoweD's eerie Tlu! Bansh« (1925), performed on the strings of the piano, and
works by Morton Feldman, George
Crumb and John Cage. All this, o r
course, ~ed by witty and/or interestin-g commentary. Composer
George Antheil, said Mikhashoff, once
shot a gun at the ceiling to jar inattentive
concert-goers. The"' would be no such
violence that evening, he assured them.
There were other program delights.
Mikhashoff's language, for example, is
unusually apt and descriptive, and. adds
to _ the pleasure of his programs. He

programming: in one Baird program, he

took his cue from Debussy's priceless
putdown of Grieg - "a pink bonbon
filled with snow" - and presented the
music of both composers. He is al~o the
founder of Cambiata, Inc., an AJ!i'any
society responsible for the chamber
music revitalization in that city.

He's a leading interp reter of the Ita li an
co mposer Giacinta Scelsi and has given
world premier performances in Denmark, Czechoslovakia and other locales .

In Europe, especially, Mikhashoff is
known as a specialist in contemporary
American keyboard literature . He gave
the first performance in Prague of
Charles Ives' monumental Concord

Sonata in 1978. He will soon present the
p~mier

performance of a work written

for him by Lukas Foss.
"I am very honored ," Mikhashoff
said, adding that this is Foss' fmt work
for solo piano in more than 30 years.

A doaaaJa&amp; repertoire

His programs are enhanced, too, by his
ever-changing repertoire, because
Mikhashorr is a pianist who specializes
in contemporary music. According to
his press material, he has concertized in
conjunction with modem composers

Milton Babbit, Earle Brown, John
Cage, Aaron Copland, George Crumb,
Morton Feldman, Virgil Thomson, Lejaren Hitler, Betsy Jolas and others.

Recently, Mikhashoff had a piano/ actor
role in the La Scala production of a new
opera by Italian avant-garde composer,
Sylvano Bussotti, "a per.;onal friend"
or his.
As a programmer, Mikhashoff is aided by his "theoretical and literary"
backgrounds. He speaks French, German and Spanish, and his D.M.A . from
the University of Texas was received in

Cuts in space
budget decried
by NASA chief
The space shuttle is the only hope
Americans currently have to get into
space, the man who served as chief
scientist for the shuttle program and as
technical director on the Apollo project
said Monday.
Serge Waiter, who has worked with
the space program for the past 30 years;
was attending the International Sym.
posium on Shock Tubes and Waves held
this week at John's Hotel Niagara in
Niagara Falls . More than 100 scientific
papers were pr.esented at the conference,
hosted by U/ B's Faculty of Engineering
and Applied Sciences and Calspan.
Waiter said he is "very disappointed"
by the budget cutbacks which have hit
NASA and the space program.
"We have the brains, but we don 't
have the money ," he commented . "It
seems the government would rather have
more money involved in makeup and
dog food than space."
He referred to the fact that $6 to $7
billion a year is spent on those products,
while NASA's budget is $5 billion.

"To me, Apollo was an era, the space
shuttle was an achievement ," he said .
"Apollo had money , people; the shu!tle
had no money , no people. But we did
it."
Sbutde will allow us to leara
" The shuttle will allow us to learn a little

more about our planet Earth," Waiter

Mikhashoff's artistry
'packs a wallop
. compooitioo.
"I had fulfilled aU the requirements
for a Ph.D . in piano, but I couldn't get a
Ph.D. in both," he recalled.
The theoretical training is evident.
Though his composing is now "dormant," Mikhashoff has written a piano
coricerto; his El Espejo de Narriso was
nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1973.
Mikhashoff transcribed for string
quartet six short piano pieces by
Copland, and transcribed a late Liszt
Hungarian rapsody (No. /9, written in
lgg5) in the piano style of the younger
Liszt. Also, be just presented the world
premiere of a piano transcription of the
Bussotti opera.

A• aYid reader
Mithashoff is an avid reader; surely this
adds to his programming finesse.
"I've read dictionaries," be said. He
also enjoys poetry, along with books on
music and 20th century art.
Mithashoff is also an ex-professional
ballroom dancer, having danced in New
York, Houston and Philadelphia during
cme two-year period. In a 1976 program,
he and soprano-Winifred Simpson even
demonstrated a tango and waltz in the
s~$lyJesof-theearly20tb century.
Mithasboff is a performer, of course.
He clearly enjoys it and doesn't mind occasional criticisms -that he's a touch
flamboyant oo staae.
"I like to entertain the public," be
said simply• .A.plrlormer wbo "does bis
own thing" is. dismissed as rather

"selfish.,

In addition to "bis numerous Eurbpean
appearances, Mlkbashoffhas performed
with tbe Buffalo PbiiJWmonic -Orcbcstra (including a Camqie lUll appearance), tbe Houston Symphony Or~a. UDder ArtiiLir Fiedler and the
Ambent SYmPhony. Some of bis ~t

Mikhashoff, 40, was born in Albany
and graduated from Albany High
School. His father, who lives in that ci-

ty, "was sort of an amateur jazz
clarinetist in the '30's," and traveled
"all over the world" as a young man.
Family paints
'&lt;He was somewhat of a painter in his
younger days," added Mikhashoff,
pointing out that his father's portrait of
Cardinal George Mundelein, Chicago
eartlinal from 1915 to 1939, hangs in the
main entrance of Mundelein CoUege in
Chicago, where his father went to
school. His late mother "drew very
beautifully" and played the piano by
ear.

"My

brother

is

a

painter,"

Mikhashoff said with obvious pride.
Although Mikhashoff's present name
appears on his birth certificate, he was
Ronald MacKay for a time, bis father
having changed ~ original Russian

name uror professional reasons."

Mikhashoff changed it back. Both
parents were born in the U .S.
Mikhashoff began study of the piano
at age four and made his debut at 14 in
New York. He studied at Eastman and
Juilliard and in 1969 won a Fulbrigbt
fellowship to study in Paris with Nadia
Boulanger. His bachelor's and master's
degrees - both in music - are from the
University of Houston.
For a performer with such sterling
credentials (he even had a brush with
royalty, performin&amp; recently for the
~of Denmark), Mikhasboff is kind
and ~e. He.appean warmly supPortive of other artists, and wiD take a
back seat when necessary. For example,
when he wrote his recent transcription
for piano; violin and clarinet of jazz
.numbers - in · Ernst. Krenek's 1926
Joluury's Ja:ir. &amp;md, bis own piano role
was decidely subordinate.

gmng recitals of modem music in
Florence, Brussels and Amsterdam, he
left June 29 for Tanglewood, where he
will serve as director of the center's
Young Artist Program.
Also, he has been invited by the Dutch
government and the Holland Festival to
direct a 30-concert program of
American music next summer. As the
Dutch are weU-informed about contemporary American music, Mikhashoff has
been asked to choose a repertoire of
American music from 1652-1952, and
will spend next month "traveling ail

over'' looking for American musicians.
Those chosen wiU present the program
in Hoiland with selected Dutch musicians. Eventuaily, Mikhashoff noted ,
the American and Dutch artists wiU
begin a U.S. tour, designed to
" celebrate 200 years of unbroken
diplomatic relations between the U.S.
and The Netherlands ."
All this has personal significance for
the Albany-born Mikhashoff. Albany's
frrst permanent sewers were mostly
W ailoons from The Netherlands ..

AmeriJ:olla,e II on lap
On tap for next fail is an Americollage II
program, this time in the direction of
American romantic composers like the
late Samuel Barber.
Mikhashoff has made three recordings this year, Charles lves'
Concord sonata (Spectrum Records);
Lukas Foss' 111it1~11 Ways of Loolcing
at a BIIICkbird, recorded with a U/B
ensemble (CRI), and Piano Wa/tus by

modern

American

composers

(Nonesuch).
This performer-producer, who has
done~ from aJTaDgi.ng centennary observances for composers Bartok
and Ravel, to unearthing forgotteil
scores, continues to excite audiences.
For this reason, perhaps, he has been
compared to the thqtrical producer
David Belasco, wbo als""'tnew bow to
reach under an audience's skin.
This augurs well for tbe area music
scene, say a number of critics. John
Dwyer of the News, a writer not known
for flights of hyperbole, put it this way:
" Yvar Mikhashoff is extraordinary in a
number of ways, not least of which is his
huge capacity for absorbing .new 5cores,

added. "It will help us discover water
where people need it , oil, minerals, set
up communications, television where
people need education."
The most difficult problem encountered on the shuttle was the now infamous tile layer; tiles which kept falling
off and delayed the project for months,
Waiter said. He noted that he had
started working.on tl)e shuttle project in
1969 with the first proposal ana bad
been "in charge of everything," including aerodynamic heating, ascent and
entry.
"The tiles were the most complicated
part," he said . "If we lost one out or
37,000, the ship would not land."
Noting that his favorite past-time is
putting together jigsaw puzzles and that
he will do only those with 2,500 pieces or
more, Waiter said, "Imagine 37,000
parts, ail black and white.
"Remember " he added "this was
the first time .;.ything like
had ever
happened. When the sbuUle landed, I
cried, and wben !looked at those tiles, I
almost collapsed. "

Did economics or conspiracy build Buffalo?
By WEN DY AR NDT H UN T
A battle brewed between the two men
discussing who made 1he d ecisions that
affected Buffalo's d evelo pment fr om a
French trading post in I 754 to a cit y of
350,000 struggling to revive itself during

the era of Reaganomi cs.
Mark Goldman, an urban hi sto rian,

and David Broad , a social scientist ,
spoke before about 60 people gathered
June 29 at Media Study , Inc. , for the

first of a five-part summer lectu re series
sponsored by the Colleges. The theme of
the series is the decline and revival of the
Great Lakes cities .
Goldman, who teaches at Empire
State College, and Broad, who teaches
at State College at Buffalo, touched
thoughts on the decision-makers , but
then pulled apan .
Goldman believes that citizens only
react, rather than act. He explained that
the external forces of the construction of
the Erie Canal in 1825, the invention of

Work no

the mechanical grain eleva tor in 1842
and the current migrat ion of industry to
the Southwest have had a larger impact
on the de velopment of Buffalo than
have the decisions of local citizens o r
poli ticians.
It is important to study ho w the peo ple of the past worked with national and

international trends, he added .
Broad, however, believes that th e people who make deci sions for Buffalo are
the ones who have connections in national in stituti o ns . He st-ated tha t
meetings in corporate boardrooms have
tremendous repercussions locally.
" Yes, this sounds conspiratorial,
perhaps , paranoidal ," he admitted .
Goldman agreed with Broad 's se lfanalysis.
The two men addressed the audience
after they viewed a videotape that

More than 300 people last week heard a
noted American critic describe how
work was once glorified in American
literature.
Irving Howe, distinguished professor
of English at the City University of New
York and Hunter College, was the
second guest speaker in the Slimmer
Forum series presented by the Faculty of
Educational Studies. The lecture was
held in the Moot Court in O'Brian Hall.
Speaking on " Work in American
C ulture ," Howe contended that in the
U .S. work has figured cruciall y as a
literary subject , A~ordihg tp Howe; the

of such authors a s Mark Twain and Her man Melville.
In Twain' s Old Times on the
Mississippi , o ne of th e most beautiful
books ever written , Howe noted , the
pleasures of craft sman ship and the high
demands that go with it are dramaticall y
expressed. The book deals with the li fe
of a Mississippi riverbo at apprentice
who is at first awed b y the work he must
undenake. But the young bo y soon
becomes entranced with ri verboat life
and tilkes &amp;reat pleasure in "bearing the
pilots' folklore. The pilots serv.e as a way
of integrating the hard work on the river
with the pleasures or learning a craft.
Howe feels that Twain is relaying the
message, "the man who has matured in
his work can find great satisfaction."

1825 , it reduced freight fees from New

Six years later , Buffalo ' s population
had increased fr o m about 2,500 to
10,000. It had beco me the imm igrat ion

Americans were self-assured
While there are some d ifferences in the
views on work in 19th century lit erature ,
Howe remarked that t he American voice
of self-ass urance aboun ded in those
writings . On the who le, the view of work
in American culture as d escri bed in 19th
century literature was a healt hy one .
The literature of the 20th century ,
however, is qu ite the opposite in its view
of work , Ho we said , addi ng that the
value of wo rk cha nged immensel y and
there are very few writi ngs that view the
work process in a positive wa y. For
example, Th eod ore Dreiser wro te about

Crafts were a pleasure

Historical events have an tffect

The pleasures of craftsmanship are evident in Melville's Moby Dick, also,
Howe said. In Moby Dick, the sharing
of tasks and working as a team gives the
same image of mastering a craft as in
Twain's Old Times. Melville describes
the wonder and awe of sighting whales
and bow the sailors take great pleasure
in this. But, Howe sees Melville as going
a step funher than Twain by showing a.
darker side to work.
"Captain Ahah's character can be
seen as a 'mon(}omaniac• intent upon. a
goal his men can not grasp," he said.
"He seems close to a modern dictator
whose thoughts were once lucid but are
now opaque."
Howe said that although Melville gave
us a sinister side to work in the shape of
Captain Ahab, his main stress was a
hopeful one.
'
Another writer of the 19th century
who contributed to this glorification of
craftsmanship was Rousseau . ln Emile,
Rousseau strives to elevat~ craft work by
malting a distinction between trades and
crafts. He wrote that trades brutalize tbe
worker, making a drudgery of a day's
w.o rk, while the crafts are seen as the
best wholesome way of life. Howe
pointed out, though, that Rousseau's
view of the worker was a bit different
from Twain's and Melville's.
" Workers were denied any redemp-

He added that even though Buffalonians
may want to revitalize the city, there
may be larger historical occurrences that
will int(rfere with their efforts.

tive role at all in Rousseau's view,"
Howe said.

Broad believes that cities are planned
and produced by people. People in
prestigious places: big business, banks. •
He said that not only is Buffalo being
forced into gentrification-the making
of the center city into a place for the upper middle-dass-but its blue collar
character is being abandoned.
Goldman called Broad's thesis an
"absolute distortion . " Buffalo's
character is changing from blue to white
collar, he said, not because of a conspiracy, but because of economics . The
auto industry is noundering. he reminded Broad, as is the steel industry.

WSC supporters call writer anti-feminist,
biological reductionist, distorter of ideas
Edilor:
.We wish lo lake issue with Stephen
.·Jcrason's recent letter concerning the
Women 's Studies College (WSC). While
Krason is certainly very articulate, his
auack on the WSC and on feminism is
poorly reasoned and contains many unlupported assertions and gross distortions. II is evident that Kra.Son dislikes
feminism and equally evident that his
antipathy fuels his tirade against the
WSC. Krason is entitled to his feeti ngs,
but feelings alone are insufficient
justification for the exclusion of a particular intellectual outlook from the
university. Krason, therefore, marshals
two arguments: 1) that women's st udies
is antitbetical to liberal education! 2)
that feminism is contrary to human
nature. While these propositions might
ordinarily refute themselves, we find it
necessary to refute them explicitly, if
only so that the public not be deceived
by the power of Krason' s writing style.
As regards liberal education, Krason
argues by wrapping himself in the
nag-in this case, Plato and Aristotle.
How can one oppose the teaching of
Pla-to and Aristotle without so und ing
like a Philistine? Kraso n holds the WSC
at fauh for not teaching these classics,
although , conspicuously, he makes no
mention of John Stuart Mill 's feminist
essay, The Subjection of Women . Then
again, the classics argument is irrelevant. The purpose of liberal education is
to learn to think criti call y and to pose insightful questions, not w prove that one
is well read. There are roads to critical
. !hinking othe r than Plato and Aris totle.
If we bypass this psuedo-issue, we come
to the substance of Krason 's charge :
"sloganee ring, political rhetoric, and
absurd logic replace sound th in king and
intellectu al give and take." No evidence
is offered, however, other than Krason 's
dislike for feminist writers. If Krason is
goi ng to accuse faculty members of failing to meet certain standards, he ought
to P.rovide some evidence other than ad
hominem attacks.
Writer dislikes feminism
It seems instead that Krason dislikes
feminism-the remainder of his letter is
a testaR&gt;ent to t1)i~-and would like to
see it ' banished ' i'rom the university.
Because he makes no references to
liberalism, conservatism, or Marxism,
perspectives one would likely encounter
in a university, we know not which other
ideological viewpoints Krason would
like to see eliminated . In the ~ocial
scienoes, however, there is no.such lthipg
as value-neutral thought . .This means
not .that an academic has the right to
substitute ideology for scholarship but
that, given that no sharp separation
exists between i~and scholarship,
o remember the
Krason would
wordS of Voltait!; 411111lt "defendittg to
.the death .. .. " Acadelnic freedom . .
'· 'Quires that all viewpoints be all owed fair
h~. Krason, despite his intellectual
postunng, implicitly rejects this central
tenet of liberal education.
Krason's second point-that
feminism is antithetical to human
nature-revolves around a stale presentation of the "women are emotional,
nurtJUUlt, and passive; men are aggressive, assertive, and dominant"
tbals. Once ap.in, no evidence is offend other than the reflections of the
author. He even makes the dubious
- daim in an ovc:rpopulated world that the
bioJoP;al survival of the species reqUires
that women oonlinue in the childbearin&amp;
role. For the record, we state the obvious:. there are blolosically rooted sex
-differences. Tbe' llioloP:al reductionlst
view or sex differences that Kruon
.-holds is cmplrically unfounded, and

Krason would do well to read Margaret
Mead's Sex and Temperament in Three
Primitive Societies. Since environment
interacts with biology in compl ex ways,
the claims that onl y women are nuturant
and that men are hars h, crude, and militant (sic) are simplistic and unwarran ted. Krason is correct in arguing that
the health o f society requires children be
raised in a nurturant environment, but
his "biology is destiny" thinking blinds
him to the idea that, among human
animals, nurturance can and should
come from both men and women .
Attacks straw men
Because Krason fails to prove his asse rtion, he resorts to setting up and attacking several straw me n. Fo r example , he
assens that all feminist s believe there are
no innate sex differe nces. Some
feminists do hold this position ; others

do not. Second , he claims that feminists
espo use women's equal right to " immoralit y and sexual indulgence ." This is
transparent nonsense. Without knowing
what Krason means by "immo ralit y and
sex ual indulgence, " we do know that
femini sts believe in making equal a nd
humanizing th e sexual relationship between men and women . The point of the
feminist movement is that, given the
choice between puritanism and promiscuity, between "good girl " and " bad
girl ," o ne should not have to choose .

For ever y madonna , there is also a
whore . It was St. Jerome who wrote,
" Woman is the gate of the devil, the
path of wickedness, the sting of the serpent. " Krason cannot sever this implicit
connectjon between the idealization and
the degradation of women. Far better
that we abolish these options entirely so
that we might live in true equality.

U ltim~tely, Krason wants women to
be good gi rl s- weaker, more vulnerable,
more emotional, dependent on their
men, and on and on and on. From here
springs his belief that Christianity
somehow did women a fa vor by placing
them on a pedestal . The pedestal,
however, is more an insult than a favor.

Reagan arming Guatemalan military
illegally, exile charges here
By PA U L SIEPIERSKI
Jn vio lation -of a J3w passed by Congress, th e Reagan Ad mini strati o n is
sel.:" retl y supp lying th e arm y of a
mur dero us and repressive regi me in
Guatemala. a refugee from that country

Geronim o Camposeco. who ned his

York, Pennsyl vania . spo ke at t he
Shoreline Church on Niagar a Street in
Buffalo recently. Born in the mo untains
of Guatemala, where as a youth he
worked the land with his father, he is a
school teacher and has st udied anthropology at the University of San
Carlos in Guatemala City. He has worked in his country's National Indian
Movement, as well .
Speaking in his native Spanish, Camposeco descri bed for the Reporter a
si tuation in the northern inland region
of his country, in which the Guatemalan
army was forcibly removing Indians
from their lands and bombing their
villages from the air.
" There is a massive campaign of extermination @ga.inst the indigenous people, " :he _ ~aid, - adding thai the
Guatemalan government was seizing
land there because it was especially fertile for growing coffee, cotton and other
lucrative export crops. Also, deposits of
oil and nickel have been discovCred in
the area, with U.S. and other foreign
companies extracting thousands of barrels of petroleum 'daily. He charged that
the plight of the Indians is being considerably worsened by covert U .S. aid to
the Guatemalan military.
It was in November, 1977, that President Carter signed into law a foreign aid
bill passed by Congress thai prohibited
military credit sales to Guatemala, El
SalvadQr, Brazil and Argentina because
of human rights violations reported in
those countries. Nevertheless, Carnposeco said, the Reagan Administration
is secretly, and illegally, supplying the
Guatemalan army. Relaying the reports
of Guatemalan exiles recently arrived in
Mexico, be said that witnesses to the
village bombings had reported seeing
U.S.-made heUcopter.; and arms used in
these raids.

rived in Guatemala ," he remarked,
"when officially the U.S. has denied
there was such aid."
.
Also, last month the exiles reported
that the U.S. shipped the Guatemalan
army 100 jeel'!s, 50 cannons and 50
tr~cks, along w•th spare pans, he added,
With the Guatemalan government also

Last May, the Reagan Administration
revealed that it was, indeed, considering
resuming military aid to Guatemala,
while a State Department official said
that the U.S. was still giving that government economic aid.
In his speech, Carnposeco pointed out
that Michael K. Deaver, a Reagan
presidential assistiutt as well as a deputy
chief of th~ White 1:-!ouse staff, is
assOCiated With the),oolic relauo.ns firm
of Deaver and H'!fiDaford, which has

said . In recent yea rs, Indians have begun
to protest the expropriations. The
governme nt has responded by killing
tho usands of Indians, he said , wi th the
violent deaths of 20 or 30 of them
reported daily in the country's press.
Camposeco also told the Reporter
that faculty and students at the Uni versity of San Carlos had been exposi ng "the
reality of how corruption happens in the
government when the oil wells, minerals

Union equality means
university mediocrity
Editor:

Excuse my late response to Professor
Allen's letter of May 14. I nonetheless
cannot let his comments go unanswered.
The reduced teaching load Professor
Allen has given me ror being chairman is
very much appreciaied; it would' make
the chairmanship more attractive. Contrary to Allen's belief, I teach the same
load as any regular facult y, in addition
to carrying out my duties as chairman.
Rather than try to duel with Professor
Allen point by point, I shall respond only to the major points in the letter. First,
regarding the breakpoint in union dues,
Professor Allen has completely missed
my point. To use his analogy, a student
whose grade is slightly above C + would
~ a C- (yes, a C-1) not B-, since the
pdor fellow at $19,999 who gets a one
dollar raise under the current dues structure is thereby worse off. To avoid such
a discontinuity, tbe union dues might be
9ne percent on the incremental amount
above $20,000 rather than on the total.
Even our federal income tax structure
does not have such a discontinuity!
Second, the reason for higher salaries
in tbe School of Medicine has nothing to
do with the union, as might be inferred
from Professor Allen's letter. It is
precisely the market corupetition for
physicians that keeps those salaries
higher.
Third, Professor Allen is not quite
correct in his statement that " ... CSEA
got a 7'1t increase in its last contract ... "
Did he forget the merit money used for
outstanding CSEA members which
closely parallels our one percent?
Fourth, I assure Professor Allen that I
do indeed deduct my union dues from
my income tax. So long as my marginal
tax rates are less than IOO'i'o, then other
things equal, I stiU end up with more
after tax dollars not paying union dues
than otherwise. nuu I should thank the
union for this deduction seems rather

Canadians seek American su pport
The Ca nad ia ns seem intent on waging an

its emi ssions . and are going to enlist the
ai d of American citizens in the effort to
convi nce the U.S. government that acid
rain is a serious issue with grave consequences for both countri es.
The Ontario Ministry o f the Environment has produced a 28-minute film
which it hopes will be widely show n in
the states . Titled "Crisis in the Rain , ·•
the film is scheduled to be shown on
campus in the Fall.
At a preview showin g hosted by Canadian Consul William R. Van last week .
Va n stressed to a group of repone rs that
acid rain could "very likel y" strai n Internat ional relation s between the t\I. O

clean air standard s are not bei ng enforced in the U.S.
"Acid rain rank s very high in bilateral
iss ues ," Van said, ad din g that Canada
has enforced very tough and costl y contro ls on its major polluters .
" We are not free from blame , but we
are tryi ng , " he stated.
The film is well -produced and explains for a general audience just what
the effect s of acid rain have been. The
camera shows us region s of heart breaking beauty , both in Canada and the

and life .

I must repeat something raised earl.i'er .
Given the meager pittance one receives
for not being a member of the union, it
is remarkable that more people do not
belong to the union !

in the democratic process. I am
delighted that he joins with me in urging

be that Professor Allen understands

general equalit:· for which our dear
union strives will only lead us to general

mediocrity.

Daycare center effort
still underway here
The effort to establish a daycare center
at U/ B is still underway, the chair of the
Child Care Center Implementation
Comminee reports.
Angie Janetakos of the Millard
Fillmore College Student Association
was elected to chair the committee, composed of representatives of student,
faculty and staff organizations, last
February. Tbe present committee was
formed to investigate the need for a
daycare center on campus and develop a
formal p'mposal for its establishment.
The issue had previously been pushed by
several factions among s tuden t
organizations. with much debate on how

to begin the effort and who should fund
and control it.
After receivi ng funding from campus
groups . the committee hired Janet P eek ,
a doctoral graduate student , to coor·
dinate the implementation stud y.
A questionnai re will be sent to a pilot
sa mpl e of approxi matel y 100 pe rsons in

survey in the Fall after the fall registration data is available.
" We urge everyone who ' receives tbe
survey to answer it," Janetakos said,
"since it is vital that the committee be
able to gauge the real need for a daycare
center on campus. We hope to go '
beyond whether people would support it
philosophically to determine what type
of care is needed, the ages of the
cltildren most in need, possible fee
schedules, the most effective location-whether oo Main Street or
Amherst-and other details."
Janetakos added that persons who
wish to express their views on the need

for a daycare center on campus should
do so in writi ng and send their com-

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

Thirty-four new pianos to enhance
music-making in Baird-Slee complex
By ANN WHITCHER
When the new Baird Music Hall and
adjoining Slee Chamber Hall open this
Fall, 34 new pianos will add to the musicmaking artistry or students, Faculty and
visiting artists.
The new instruments were purchased
last month through the University's
Capital Equipment Division . The
$200,000 allocation was part or the
general equipment Fund For the new
buildings.
.
Purchased were two 9-Foot Steinway
D Concert Grands; five 7-Foot Steinway
B Grand pianos; eleven 5' 10-'h'' Steinway L Grands; six 5'7" Steinway M
Grands and II Baldwin-Hamilton
uprights. The Music Department now
has 50 pianos in use; 46 or these will continue to be used in the new Baird/Slee.
The remaining Four have major structural problems and must be surplussed
or traded in. One of these can be re-used
only after a major rebuilding.
As would be expected, Music Department Faculty and staff are happy about
the new pianos.
"Rey Weft really -*'1
"We really needed them," says Steven
L. Foster, de~nt piano technician.
Not only were there scheduling and access problems in the old hall, but the
buildiag-with
physical plan of tbe
its vastly improved classroom, studio
and performince space-made the purchase ·a necessity. Without the new
pianos, adds WHiiarn K. Wachob, assistant to the chairman in Mwic. "a
signifteant portion of our new facilities
would simply be unusable."
In present quarters on the Main Street
Campus, five piano studios are-shared

Full-time woodwinds facult y. Also,
reports Capital Equipmenl Division
Coordina tor William R. John so n, "A
lot of faculty were leaching in rheir

homes ." The new buildings, on the
other hand , have eight studi os, three
classrooms, one performance hall, 1hree
to four small ensemble rehearsal rooms
and 22 practice rooms.
Wachob emphasized the new pianos

FSA has no 'right ' to run a bookslorr

{and loud) instrument in pteparation for
performances which will involve co ncen
grand pianos.''
The report justifying purchase of the
instrument s apparently impressed the

DOB, Johnson says. adding, "They
really scrutinize ."
Word of purchase approval came on

In an interview outlining hi s rationale
for rejecting the proposed expe nditu re,
the President emphasized !hat FSA has
no inhere nt right to engage in books tore
o perations. Its bookstore fran chise was
removed several years ago by Ketter
after the FSA board and other concern·
ed members of the University community agreed that auracring a commercial
bookstore to ca mpus would be more
desirable and efficient than an FSA-run
ventu re .

Before submitting hi s department 's

Williams of the Music Department.
The new nine-foot concert grands,

which are still out on bid, will be housed
in the Slee Chamber Hall, while the two
nine-foot concert grand pianos on hand

will be placed in the Multi-Use Rehearsal
Hall in Baird, a facility to be used for
solo and duo piano rehearsals and
recitals by students, faculty and visiting
artists, along with ensemble performances, choral rehearsals and large
classes. New pianos will be found in

Officials From U/ B and the Beijing
Municipal University System, China's

Access to a different

''This agreement gives us the opportuni·

ty to have access to a totally different
cultural setting For faculty and
students," President Ketter said . "The

Chinese represent the largest si ngle
population group in the world, with a
history and tradition that any institution
of higher learning should be interested in
exploring ."

Noting that the Chi nese have held
such negotiations only with U/ 8, Dr.

Ketter said, " They felt we had the types
of programs they were looking for."
Ketter listed several possibilities for
joint research activities be1wecn U/ 8
and the Beijing system, including obser·
vational studies in education , culture
and the social sciences and comparative
studies in medicine .
"The Chinese are quite advanced in
some areas of medicine," he stated ,
.. especially in combinations of medicine
and nutrit ion. They ha ve developed a
fair number of herbal treatments of

campuses, enumerated a number of
areas in which these agencies could
operate: bookstores, vend ing machines,
linen service, food service, etc. The
Trustees, however, never said FSA's
must do any of these thi ngs. They left
open the option for cont racti ng with
ou tside fi rms. Several SUNY units , fo r
example, have hired commercial food
cateri ng companies, as did U / B at one
time. In terms of bookstores, Stony
Brook has a contract with Follett's as
U/ B does. State University at Albany
used the sa me firm for a number of
year s before establishing it s own FSA
store in 1980.
A deeadt of planning
The U / 8 bookstore siiUation, moreover ,

is

an

out growth

of

a

series

of

developments which have tak en place
over a decade with the a im o f providin g

on .campus commercial facilities on
Parcel B at Amherst. The Urban
· Development Corpo rat io n (UD C ).
develope r of the adjacent Audubon ven ture, was in it ially assigned tha t responsibili ty. Bu t when that agency faced
bankruptcy, the plan was abandoned.
The State then ag reed that the U/ 8
Foundation should undertake the project. LegiSlation was passed specificall y
aut horizi ng a bookstore, food operations, banks, ot her retail outlets and a
hotel facility. The idea was that such
ameni ti es were vita l to developing th e
prope r quality of life for those who had
t O live, work and go to school at
Amherst.
The key to such a development , Ketter
said, was a so-called "anchor store" of
sufficient size and significance to attract
other retailers. A bookstore, it was
agreed, would be such a magnet.
After studying the market , the U/ BF
determined it could not hope to attract a
commercial bookstore if a competiti ve
store operated by FSA were allowed to
continue to operate. A commercial store
simply could not compete with that kind
of protected operation, particularly
since the firm would be required to
finance its own building. This determination coincided with a period of
mounting critici sm of the FSA
bookstore, criticism which prompted the
board to want to bow out of the
bookstore business anyway.
Ollly Follell was willift&amp; to invest its

capital
The U/ B Foundation advertised nationally to find an operator willing to
construct and operate a bookstore at
Amherst. Although four or five
organizations initially responded , only
Follett was willing to invest its own
capital. But, Follett submitted, to do
that it wanted, in return, to take over all
bookstore operations on campus. That
was agreed l o. Follett paid the U/ B
Foundation ( which in tum reimbursed
FSA) for till; existing bookstore inventory and agreed in advance to continue
on its payroll all bookstore employees.
Under the U/ B Foundation's agreement with the State, Ketter noted, the
Foundation must pay an annual rent of
$33SS per acre for use of land at Pared
B, once any facilities are occupied. A
proportionate share of this rent has to be
built into -Follett's expenses. lllat expense coupled with the prevaiJina 18 per
cent interest rate meant it would take 99
years to pay off the debt on the proposed project, Follell found. lllat was prohibitive so the project was delayed.
This spring, the Amltent Industrial
Development Agency agreed to offer
special, low interest bonds for const'!!.Ction-provided the bonds were bought
by individuals outside New York Stat.e
(the premise being that any such issue

Dillergent views

In articles publ ished in the Reporter in
Ma y and June, Professor Reichert and
Robert J . R. Follett, chairman of the
Follett Corporation, expressed divergen t
views o n what a campus bookstore
ought to be. Reichert envisions a li brarylike setting in which students can browse
in comfortable chairs and receive information and advice on reading selections
from staff, Reichert 's bookstore would
sell no T-s hirts o r mu gs or si mila r software . Follett rep lied that while his stores
carry "a good selection of books ," including trade books, a bookstore can
not be a "library ." That is not the case
even at Harvard , he pointed out. Sound
business po licy dictates that priori ty for
stock space be gi ven to what student s
" need and want ," that is, to wha t sells.
He not ed that profit s are needed to
mak e pay roll and pa y taxes and other
expenses. If his critics co uld see things
from his side of the fence, Follett said ,
they mig ht have a different view.

Lifton warns
of horrors of
nuclear war

WBFO wins
national
CPB award

By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
He spoke o f terror .
He spoke o f tonure.
He spo ke of terrib le death.
As the tall , ga wky professor flipped
through a heap of dog-eared yellow
papers that he had placed on the
podium, he fidgeted. He kept switching
his too-lillie weight from foot to fool.
But he didn ' t use gory examples to
shock hi s listeners about the neverending lethal consequences of nuclear
war. No, Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, a Yale
psychiatrist and an exper1 in
psychohistory , a nian who has studied
the victims of Hiros hima, researched the ·
Nazi doctors of Au schwitz, and interviewed the returning Vietnam veterans,
was rather rational as he spoke to more
than 300 people gathered June 24 at the
first in the Summer Forum series, which
is sponsored by the Faculty of Educational Studies .
But his guttural voice so mehow
st ressed the severity of t he situation .
A m~mber of the Ph ysic ians for Social
Responsibilit y, Lifton, 55, believes it is
hiS responsibility as a healer to ci rculate
information about the horrors of a
nuclear holOca ust .
He warned that the psychic numbing
with which people are protecting
themselves from the imagery of extinction could very well bring on their
deaths .

WBFO-FM, the Un iversity 's public
radio sta tion, has been honored by the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
(CPB&gt; fo r exce ll e nce in public
awareness. The stat ion won an award in
the middle market category for its "FM
88" campaign to increase its visi bilit y
among audiences in Western New York.
The campaign resulted in a 500 per cent
increase in listeners in six months, station officials say.
In addition to WBFO, eight other
public radio stations were recognized for
outstanding achievements in local public
awareness, public participation and
fund- raising efforts.
The awards were presented during
ceremonies at the Corporation's four da y Radio Development Work shops in
C hicago last week . The fifth annual
meeting for public radi o development
and information professionals focused
on support act ivities in the three
development disciplines.
Entries were judged according to station market size: one million or more
(large market); 400,000 to 999,999 (middle ma rket); and 399,000 or less (small
market) . Winn ing entries were •selected
on the basis of the qualit y of planning.
prim , audio and vi sual materials, effective use of fund s and measurable
impact.
WBFO started "at home" wi t h i~:,
ca mpaign. using cos t effective on-the -a ir
promo tion . " FM88" replaced the Jrad itional on-air ''WBFO" 10 . The new air
sound emphasized the st ation' s dia l
locat ion and inspi red a new logo. An no un cers referred to the stati on o nl ) as
" FM88," and the business and development departments adopted "FM88 " for
all print and advertising materials- bu s
cards, bumper sticker s and newspaper
ad s with taglines promot ing specific progra ms.
Phase II of the campaign took off in
the fall of last year. "Discover FM88 "
ads were plaC'_d in newspape rs. These
ads focused on different facet s of FM88
programming: one-column by two-inch
ads appeared four times dail y for five
weeks, placed amid news copy to alert
readers to specific programs. Target
placements included an " election night
coverage" ad on that evening 's television/ radio page. It was the only suc h ad
to appear that day .
Since the station cou ldn't compete
financially with commercial stations, it
launched an "advertise where they
ain't" strategy, as a station spo kesperson put it. In Buffalo, he reasoned ,
nothing can top an "FM88 ice scraper"
that actually takes the ice off car windshields. With 18,000 ice sc rapers
di st ributed throughout Buffalo, many
fall campaign pledgers said they had
discovered the sta ti on through the
scrapers.
For excellence in public awareness:
WGUC-FM, .Cincinnati, won in the

People can not or will not deal with it
Many people can not or will not deal
with the idea of annihilation-the image
of extinction-because they view life as
continuing even after death: through
their children, their creative contributions, their culture. So they ignore the
idea in order to pursue daily living.
This blocking of images is what Lifton
calls psychic numbing.
"The image of human continuity,"
however, says Lifton, the author of 13
books, "is threatened."
He attributes the quest for genealogy,
the experimentation with drugs and
communal living to people's doubts
about their future.
He told of a personal incident that occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
While the nat ion wrestled with the imminent threat of war with the Soviet
Union, Lifton di splaced his fearsnumbed his psyche-by fretting over his
pet dog's emergency surgery.
Psychic numbing, explains the 1948
New York Medical College graduate, is
a function of the brain necessary for existence-especially in today's world.
Mon alld more menacing
But people can no longer_ deny the
nature and degree of tjle danger of
nuclear war, he says, because the threat
is becoming more and more menacing:
the two superpowers are quarreling over
who has what nuclear weapons and
smaller countries are vying for nuclear
strength.
Thankfully, he says, the numbers of
people who are admitting realit y are increasing, also.
"In a dark time, the eye begins to
see," Lifton quotes an American poet.
He says the passionate response to
"Holocaust," a television movie about
Hitler's attempted elimination of the
Jewish people during World War II and
the Three Mile Island accident illustrates
"The tapping of the imagery of extinction."
The Biblical story of Armageddon,
the destruction of the atmosphere's
ozone layer and the a nti cipated depletion of natural resources augment this
idea of annihilation.
As people allow their minds to feel, he
says , they become anxious. "BUI that
tension is needed to co mbat the
danger ."

He can feel the fear
Lifton says he feels the fear of the people now. _
So does Ronald Reagan , says the man

Uftou
who served as an Air Fo rce psyc hiatrist
from 1951 -53. But the President is
misinterpreting the fear , seeing the solu tion as bigger and better weapons .
The sea rch for a more effective
weapon during the mid-20th cen1ury led
to the creation of the atomic bomb. And
the atomic age.
"Hiroshima was a tragic turning point
in human hi story," Lifton says. On
August 6, 1945, the United States
dropped the first atomic bomb over the
Japanese city of 245,000. Almost half of
the population died . Many immediately .
The rest shortly thereafter from acute
radiation effects.
The 1945 nucl,ear experience would
not represent that which is possible now.
Today's smallest nuclear weapon, Lifton says, is 15 times the size of the one
dropped over Hiroshima. The largest is
1,000 limes as large.
But there is a lesson to be learned
from Hiroshima, Lifton submits, referr-

ing to the · findings he gleaned from hi s
six-month study in 1962 of its survivors.
A stud y that produced his book, Death
in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima, which
won the 1969 National Book Award in
the Sciences .
"There is a totality of destruction and
an unending lethal influence," says the
man who became aware of nuclear issues
in the 1950s, when he was teaching at
Harvard .
The logic of madness
And unlike Hiroshima, there will be no
outside help to resurrect society .
Because there will be no doctor.;. No
firemen. No policemen. No governors.
They will be dead . There will only be a
small band of survivors in a primitive
state.
Lifton belittled two current author.;
who advocate the thought that survival
after nuclear war is feasible.
"That's the logic of madness," he

Nikki Giovanni has been called the
" princess of black poetry" and
"the poet laureate of you ng black
women and sensi tive souls
everywhere.''
She brings her unique brand of
poetry and her special insights to
the Summer Forum series next
Wednesday (lecture at 10 a.m. in
the Moot Courtroom, O' Brian
Hall; question-and-answer session,
The Kiva, Baldy Hall, 2 p.m.)
Critics say that Ms . Giovanni's
poetry has mellowed si nce the
decade of the 60s when she angrily
celebrated black culture, beauty
and justice. Today, her works are
more " the voice of a brilliant
friend who is curious about
everything you think of as everyday," the Boston GloiJe explains.
Her work has been called
iconoclastic, cynical and
hopeful-s omehow aU at the same
time.
" People are always talking
about loving people," Ms . Giovanni says, " but then look what they
do to each other! They spank
children to JIUI)&lt;e them behave,
they beat wives to keep them in
line, they start wars to bring about

peace . I don 't understand it. But
then I' m just a colored poet from
C incinnati. .. so I guess I'm not expected 10."
She is concerned about life and
humankind_ Once asked wha t she
does to help the human conditi on,
she replied, " I think and I don't
bite." In a more serious vei n, she
noted that she has tried to be pari
of a movement which has broken
down physical barriers a nd opened
minds. She was involved, for example, in RI F (a program in
Harle.n whose self-explanatory full
name is Reading is Fundamental) _
She once went on tour with Lena
Home to encourage young black
women to develop their special
talents _
In the 1980s, she feels, there is a
special need for -information, communicati on and a national forum
of black people that can be utilized
to develop a better future . The
purpose for her lectu res and poetry
readings, she says, is to reaffirm
her pride in her race and her sex
and to plead with others to look at
contemporary issues. "There 's a
new idea of what it means to be
alive," she has been known to say:
You just don't accept every idea
that's handed down to you .

Some glad, some mad
over Court's ruling on
draft status of women
"You' re in the Army now" can continue
to be sung by an all-male chorus, the
Supreme Court ruled last week in allowing Congress to limit draft registration
to men .
While many feminist groups decried
the ruling, stating that women have the
constitutional right and duty to be able
to slosh through mud and fight in foxholes, if need be, other women breathed
a sigh of relief. Many men had mixed
reactions, also, st.atinp that women
would be able to fill n0n -combat roles
well.
ln its 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court
noted that since federal law and military
policy exclude women from combat
positions, their usefulness in the military
is limited. And since registration and the
draft are set up to prepare for war, the
majority said, Congreos was justified in
excluding women from registration.
Campus reaction was representative
of the wide range of feelings foynd
throughout tbe country.
Mua lllillb tile &lt;Ourt ened Ia ruling
ot aD
W . Howard Mann, the Law School's expert on constitutional law, believes the
Court erred in even ruling on the issue.
"The lower court also made a terrible
error in rulirig that an all-male registra·
tion was unconstitutional," he said.
"Registration alone is not in any l91al
sense a burden, so the question of equal
protection does not apply. This would
be an equal protection issue if Congress
gave some benefit to women and denied
it to men, a benefit which would not
relate to public policy.
"The Supreme Court is a court of
law," he continued, "and not a review
board for policy questions for
legislators. Putting women in non combat positions is a policy question
which belongs to Congress."
Mann said he does not consider
registration a legal injury against males,
and noted that many people are
misinterpreting the ruling by equating
registration to the draft. Registration
iLSelf does not impinge on a person's-in
this case, a man's-liberty, Mann noted,
adding that he thinks a peacetime draft,
"for convenience purposes," may be
unconstitutional since it deprives a man
of liberty for one or two years. ln an
emergency situation, however, the constitutionalit y of the draft becomes a
moot point si nce in such a case the War
Powers Act would take effect.
"I feel strongly that if the Equal
Rights Amendment had been passed, the
Court would not rule differently on this
case," Mann said. '' I think this issue is
much ado about nothing. How women
think this ruling is a slap against them is

Why not just abolish Women's Studies?
Editor:
The Reporter has recently carried stories
on the virulent reaction of Women's
Studies College to cuts in its budget. The
College's supporters claim that it is being unfairly singled out by an insensitive
male-dominated U/ B administration .
They have presented no proof to back
this charge and I doubt that it is true.
The point I wish to make is that WSC
,should be a target of the administration.
- It should not only have its budget cut ,
but should also be abolished altogether.
Tbe operation of WSC is a contradiction to the University's commitment to
the liberal arts, which has recently been
reaffirmed by the institution of a general
education program.

One important objective of the liberal
arts is to shaJ'l)en the student's intellectual processes by a rigorous study of
basic academic subjects. The academic
work in Women's Studies College hardly
measures up to this. The brilliant,
supremely insightful , intellectually
disciplining works of a Plato and Aristotle seldom find their way into such
courses; they are replaced by the
ranting, unreasoned writing of a Susan
Brownmiller and Kate Millet.
The liberal arts also have as their aim
the seeking of the truth. It is this search
for the truth that gives the academic
enterprise its meaning. From what I

have seen and heard, I doubt that mos t
people connected with WSC believe
there is any such thing as the truth . They

are concerned about pr o moting
ideological prescriptions, not the trulh .
Anyone wbo disagrees is •sexist'
Since ideology replaces truth in WSC
and in so-called women's studies pr"

grams generally, scholarship is used
largely to promote that ideology. The
result of scholarship being put in the service of ideology is, as hislorian Aileen

most learned inqu iries into thi s ques tion,
such as Aristotle's di scuss ion of ihe
fa mil y and I he relati o nship between hu sband and wife in his Politics and Tocqueville and Bryce's consideratio n of the
place o f women in the American
democratic context. To them, these are
j ust more b iased male write rs whose a im
was si mply to oppress women.

The fe minist ideology which WSC
pushes perpetrates a great untruth which
res ult s o nl y in confusing and poisoning
the relationship between the genders.
Thai untruth is that lhere are no essential differences between men and
women , beyond the mere biological.
(Contemporary femini sm wants to suppress even the bi ological differences, as
seen in its militant espousa l of abortion
which it views as society's way of " recti fyi ng" the inequalit y that nature ha s
dealt to women by making it possible

o nl y for them to get pregnan t.)

Commo n human experience, however,
makes it clear that there are also other
types of differences between the genders

which result from the ph ys ica l difThere

children .
The nurturing role of woman as
mother is indispensable, not only for
eac h individual but for our civilization.
It is indi spensable for the indi vidual
because it is hi s first expe rien ce of
receiving love and plays an important
part in preparing him 10 conduct the
o th er relati o nships which will follow

throughout his life.
Our civilization also depends on this

nurturing role . A s George F. Gilder has

emotional differences above and also
beca use of the natural sex ual allraction
between men and women.
The difference that fem in ists despise
the most, however, is the teleolog ical
o ne . The purpose of woman is naturall y
to some ex tent different from that of
man because of her unique role in the
proc rea tion and nurturing of children .
As far a s proc reati on is concerned , the
sur vival of th e hum an race tru ly depends
on women because o nl y they ca n bear

Feelings

simply come easier to a woman and she
is more readil y ab le to express them
openly . Men a nd women a lso ofte n tend
to respo nd emotionally in differe nt ways
10 the same situations. Even likes,
dislikes , and interests often differ. II is a
litt le hard to believe tha t thi s is all just
culturally co nditioned, as femini sts
claim, when these differen ces appea r in

the youngest of children .
Moreover, the relat ionships between
members of the same gender tend to be
different than between members o f the

opposite gender. This is because of the

written, "Most of the characteristics we
define as hum an and ind ividua l
origi nate in the mother's love fo r her
child ren ." It is the feminine qualities
which a re needed to mitigate the tendencies toward harshness, crudeness , and
militancy in the male . They a re
necessary to insure that a large elemen1
of co mpassion will be prevalent in
human soc iet y. There is proper o rder
a nd balance in soc iet y on ly when there
a re both mascu line and femini ne innuences and a civilized society demand s
that the femini ne ones predomina te . It
would thu s be a serious blow indeed for
wo men to lose a sense of their femin ine
nature , as feminism wants.
It is the emotional d iffe ren ces t hat I
spo ke of ·which make the woman
uniquel y capable of being the nurturer.
11 is often sa id that a woman is more per-

so nall y and individuall y-directed and the

ma n more co llect ive ly and corpo ratel ydirected. These different orie ntations at
o nce derive from and make possible th e
fact thai the woman as mo ther is the
give r of that first, special, impo rtant
love to her children .
Femi nists ignore tbe differences
Feminis ts contemp tuously ignore the

differences of which I have spoken .
They also tell women that because they
a re equal with men , they have an equal
" right" to engage in as much immorality and sex ual indulgence as ...men.
Fem ini sts make traditional sexual

morality their target. Wha t they refuse
to reali ze is that morality played a n impo nanl part in Christianity' s successful
effort to elevate the status of women

above the level of near-chattels that they
had in the ancient pagan societies .

Now , by promoting the nco-pagan
standards of the sexual revo lution , contempo rary feminism will lead the way lo
the dehumanizing of women . This is
because, first, if women readily foll ow
their sexual impulses they will not find

"liberation" but rather bondage to
those impulses and , second , they may
fi nd themselves grossly taken advantage
of by their male partners and emotio nal -

ly damaged . This, again, is because they
are

men . They are

The liberal arts seek to liberate the
mind by enabling it to rise above narrow

prejudices to make judgments and S$1'
the truth more clearly. The so-called
"liberation" offered by the feminist
ideology of WSC does the contrary: it
only offers new dogmas based on weak

WSC has been partly responsible for
lowering the levd of academic discourse

France and Italy are more dependent

'Trivial' faculty trio gets quizzed
instead of doing the quizzing themselves
By DOUG CARPENTER
O.K., all you trivia addicts out there.
Paper and pencils ready? Welcome to
the Reporter's first (and possibly last)
Trivia Quiz. Now don 't be afraid to read
this article in front of colleagues and
fellow staff members. There's no shame
in owning up to what is probably a far
more common condition than you might

realize ... that passion for the picayune,
that fancy for the frivolous fact.. .
trivioitis.
Should you still be reluctant about
corning out of the trivia closet, perhaps
it would belp to know you're far from
alone. In fact, you're in pretty good
company.
We take our lumps, we trivia buffs,
but our ranks are growing. Had you
been tuned last Wednesday evening to
WBFO!FM 88, U/ B's public radio station, you would have been witness to six
trivia aficionados in their glory.
FM 88 has secured a beachhead in the
battle to save popular culture's history
and diversity from the flood of the new
and the different_ WBFO sponsors what
has grown from a one-time special in
December of 1980 to a regular monthly
series of trivia programs featuring pop
culture fans from the University's faculty and staff and the station' s listenership.
The program, a 90-minute live broadcast, pits a pair of three member teams
against .each other and against callers
who provide qut:Stions aimed at stumping the in-studi&gt; experts. Last week's
broadcast featuted a trio of U/ 8 faculty
who banded tog ;ther as a team to share
the unusual professorial experience of
being the quizzed rather than the
quizzers. The sensation, they report, was
unique.
Team member Dr. WilliamS. "Billy"
Hamilton, associate dean of the Faculty
of Arts and Letters, was impressed by
the volume of television trivia questions
offered by callers who, Hamilton
allowed, "obviously watch more TV
than I do."
A world professors never taste
"There is a world out there ," Hamilton
adds, "that we professors never taste."
He observes, however, that, from .the
perspective of an educator, there is a
good deal of satisfaction in knowing
that "even those of us who only wati:h
television can still manifest a drive

toward excellence," as demonstrated by
callers' obvious comma nd of the sub~
ject.

There is littl e doubt that the
program' s audience pla ys the trivia
game to win. Aparl fro m predictable
TV, film and spons questions, like
"What was the name of Tom Terrific 's
dog?" and "What were Ava Gardner 's
and Judy Garland 's real names?" and
" Who scored the winning goal for the
gold medal U.S. Olympic hockey
team?, " the callers display a remarkable
breadth of knowledge. Questions on the
last show spanned literature, geography,
history, politics, music, language, com~
munication, mathematics and the fun~
nies. And then there were what are
known in the trivia biz as " the ringers ."
"Within 10 days, what is the average
life expectancy of a human eyelash?" ...
"What is Duke Ellington's full real
name?" ... "How many seconds before it
touched down did the space shuttle Columbia' s landing gear descend? '' ..
" What species was the first animal in
space and what was its name?"

to retire from the rigors of active com petition.
As for Claude Welch, he appears
game for another go. "Every professor
deserves to see his knowledge frustrated
once in a while," ' he reflect s. "And this
is an admirable way 10 do il." Bill y
Hamilton, on the other hand , is not
enamored with the prospect of another
match. "Do it again? No thanks! I' m
going to ha ve nightmares about rhis
one."
And for those of you who ha ve been
trying your hand at answeri ng the trivia
teasers in th is story, here, in order, a re
the answers: The Mighty Manfred..
Lucy Johnson and Frances Gumm ..
Mike Eruzione ... /09 days . .. Ed ward
Kennedy Ellington ... / 9 seconds .. . a
chimpanzee nam ed " Ham " .. _
"Eucephalus " ... King John the First. If
you answered fewer than three correctly,
don't feel too bad . It 's only trivia. But if
you got more than six. call WBFO immedia tel y. You oughtto be on radio! 0

Hones and aa overdose of peaches
It is, of course, all great fun, as long as
you keep reminding yourself that it is,
after all, only trivia. Team member Dr.
Claude E. Welch, chair of the Department of Political Science, is appropriate~
ly philosophical .

Fredericks returns
from job downstate

" As an academic, I came prepared
with such significant information as the
names of Alexander the Great's horse
and the English monarch who died from
a surfeit of peaches," he explains, ubut
I wasn't prepared for Howdy Doody
and championship drum and bugle
corps."
WBFO Program Director David
Benders and show host Mark Wozniak
plan to keep the trivia specials coming as
long as their listeners don't run out of
questions. That could take a while.
Meanwhile, Trivia VIII is set to air
Wednesday, July 22, at 9 p.m. The
telephone lines to Studio A will, of
course, be open at 831 -2555 .

More, anyone?
Would any of our stalwart stars from
academia be willing to play a return
e ngagement before the WBFO
microphones? Well, team member #3,
D r. Jeannette Ludwig, assistant pro~
fessor of modern languages and
literatures, herself a veteran of three
winning "GE College Bowl" teams during her und erg raduate years at Drake
University, says she plans to call in wi th

issues covered, Krakowiak says, the item
on confidentiality is perhaps hardest for
parents to deal with . Under University
policies, parents are informed, they are
not permitted access to the records of
their sons or daughters without the
child's permission (except in emergen.
cies). Interesting debate usually centers
around that one and around some of the
life style issues . "It's a learning
experience for all of us," Kra.kowiak
noted.
The University Orientation program is
directed by the Division of Student
Affairs and involves staff from that
division and 25 carefully chosen and
rigorously-trained student aides. Like it
or not , Associate Vice President
Lorenzetti pointed ou t, " Kids pick up
most information not from us , but from
their peers."

U/B is what students make it, 250 incoming freshmen and their parents
heard Monday as the first of an expected
2500 freshmen and families arrived for
Orientation '81 activities.
The student orientation sessions,
which run 2 Yz days each, will be held
two a week through August 5, according
to Joe Krakowiak, director of orientation.- Parents' sessions are held the first
day of each student outing.
Fewer students are coming this year
than last because the University is taking
in fewer freshmen . Orientation staff will
be able to limit the size of each group to
about 250, slightly smaller than last
year.
Parents here on Monday met-among
others-Father Edward Fisher who told
them that college students, their sons
and daughters included, are about five
or six years ahead of the rest of the
population in ideas and attitudes. If you
still think acti vist students of the late 60s
were too far out, he told parents,"just

Beepers will
aid runners
who are blind

reflect on what you came to think about
Vietnam and Nixon policies by th e

mid-1970s ."
Today's students, Father Fisher said,
are more self-oriented than their more
socially aware counterparts of a decade
ago, and they appear more religious. He
has I 50 seats in his Newman Center
Chapel, for example, and each one of
them is filled for each of six masses
every Sunday.
The flavor of U/B
Associate Vice President for Student
Affairs Anthon y Lorenzetti offered
parents information on "the flavor of
U/ B."
Why did your children decide to come
here?, he asked. Some came, he told
parents from downstate, because U/ 8 is
as far away as they can go from New
York City and still get TAP money.
Others, he noted , chose the University
because of its large size. While being big
can be a disadvantage in some ways, he
went on, research has shown that
students electing U/ B like the wide
variety of opportunities available here
because of size.
The University forces your sons and
daughters to become independent,
Lorenzetti said. "It's all out there for
them, but they have to find it and use
it." Disputes and disillusionments will
be part of any student's college career,
Lorenzetti cautioned. Students
themselves have to work out these problems, he said, drawing, of course, on a
staff of counselors and advisors who are
here to be of service if they are sought
out.
Lorenzetti mixed kidding with
earnestness. Will some students get
involved in things parents won't like? Of
course they will, he said with candor .
"We don't do bed checks," he explained
with a grin, "because we're afraid of
what we might find ." The point is, he
said more seriously, parents have to
accept the fact that their children are on
their own now, that they may well
experiment with life styles and ideas
alien to parents, but that it's just part of
growing up and becoming independent.
And, he continued, independence [and
the accompanying responsibility for
one's actions) is probably the greatest
asset·a YOUDS person can acquire.

~:

of The Spectrum. That award-winning
st udent paper, he noted, will take on
anybndy from the president on down , if
its student editors disagree with any
policies or actions. "They will even send
a photographer to take a picture up yo ur
nose so you'll look bad" if you're on
their list. "But they are bright , creati ve,
competent, and responsible, " Lorenzetti
complimented. That's the kind of
students the Universit y wants your
children to become, he told parents.
Ufe before death
As parents were getting this word, their
sons and daughters were across the hall
in the Katharine Cornell Theatre hearing
Professor Orville Murphy implore them
not to "put your lives on hold" during
four years of college. Don't ignore exercise and diet and creative outlets, Murphy said. "Don't think to yourself that
when it's all over with, you'll enjoy
life," he warned . If you do that, he told
freshmen, the next thing you know
you'll get married and continue to put
things "on hold" for another 15-20
years until the children are raised. By
then, he said, "you'll be 62 like me."
Make sure there's "life before death,"
he urged.
Tests, rqistntioa and pmes
Students attending orientation take a
battery of tests for placement in the College Skills Program, participate in the
American Council on Education's nationwide survey of freshman attitudes
and opinions, get a preview of the problems and challenges they will face as
freshmen, meet with advisers from the
Division of Undergraduate Education to
map out class schedules for fall, are
issued ID cards and tickets for fall
semester athlelic events, and actually
cOmplete registration for September.
They leave here ready to 110 to class.
~·J.n.,llddilion, they are even given a few

mingling: a specified boumy for dancing
with someone, so much for meeting each
new person. Later they use that play
money to bid on "U/ B things," the
usual bookstore paraphernalia. A par·
ticular favorite, says Krakowiak, is
underwear emblazoned with the legend ,
"I'm behind U/ B."
The pace of this year's orientation will
be somewhat less rushed than last,
Krakowiak notes . Last summer ,
students checked in, got welcomed and
immediately went to take tests. This
time, small group meetings will precede
the large welcoming ceremony; testing
won't begin until mid-morning.
There's a new slide show called
"September '81 : A Preview." The
presentation identifies 12 common problems new students face and offers
advice on how to solve each. The difficulties considered range from
administrative snafus to how to find
your way around on campus buses.
Another first-time feature is a special
workshop for minority students involving a cross-section of campus agencies
and individuals: the Equal Opportunity
Program, the Affirmative Action Office, and a group of minority faculty and
professional staff members. One of the
thrusts of this workshop will be to provide minority individuals with a ready.
made network of support systems on
campus . Participants will be given a
directory of individuals whom they can
call on for any problems which may
arise after school begins. They'll meet
presently enrolled minority students who
will provide straight talk on what it's
like to be a minority person here.

'Enrybody ie8no'
The ,highlight of each parents • session is
a wine and cbeesc: reception at 3:30p.m.
followed by a provocative ·videotape
dealing with changes that will come
about in student-parent relationships
during the collcge years. The videotape
presents vignettes touching on such
ISSUCS' lls experimentation with new life
styles (dabbling in drugs and alcohol,
and sc:xuaJ beh.Jtviors parents may not
condone); what -to do when a student
decides to change his or her major; the
problem of confidentiality of student
records; and bow to deal. with a ·son or
daughter who calls home to say he or sbe
hates school and wants to quit. Of all

A dozen "beeping" devices designed to
guide blind runners as they race around
a track are being made avai lable to U/ 8 .
The devices. created by Robert Dornan, a supervisory engineer with the
New York Telephone Co., were
presented to the University in a brief
ceremony Wednesda y (July I ) at Squire
Hall .
Dornan designed the portable devices
for the Telephone Pioneers of America,
a charitable organizatio n supported by
the phone company . The Pioneers' Buffal o office is suppl yi ng the devices as a
gift.
Each device consis ts of an L-shaped
section of 2-inch plastic pipe, one end of
which is inserted in a construction cone.
Dornan, who describes himself as a
"future Telephone Pioneer," developed
a two-tone warbling sound to guide
sightless runners around a track.
To further guide the runners as to
their position on the track, Dornan
developed two sets of sound variations.
In one sequence, the speed of the twoto ne warbling so und-the repetition
rate-can be set at slow, medium or fast.
In the other seq uen ce, the pitch of the
double-tone is determined by four sets
of frequencies: low, medium-low ,
medium-high and high .
Thus, each of the 12 devices can produce its own distinguishable sound by
combining the different repetition rates
with one of the four frequency levels.
Dornan explained that tbe usual acute
hearing ability of the blind is a prime
factor.
A sightless runner, he noted, would
run to the right of a given sound and
would gauge his or her position on the
track by the changing sounds produced
by the devices.
The Telephone Pioneers count about
550,000 members in the United States
and Canada . Membership consists of
employees in the Bell Telephone System
with at least 18 years' service or those
who have retired. Dornan's "future
Pioneer" status is based on the fact that
he has been with the phone company
"only 16 years."
The local Telephone Pioneers chapter
accepted the challenge to find a way to
guide blind track runners after one of its
members, George Wendel, received a request from Colleen McCarthy, a blind
, U/ B student and immediate past presia'ent of the Independents, _ a U/B
organization composed of handicapped
and non-handicapped students.

Oral Roberts sues
Oral Roberts University is threatening to
sue the American Bar Association for rejecting its application for provisional ac·creditation of its law school.
The ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar refused
to aocreclit the school both for fmancial
reasons and because Oral Roberts requires applicants for admission-to make
acrelisious commitment.

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

A 42-member student-facultyadministrative committee, co-chaired by
Dr. Richard A . Siggelkow, vice president for student affairs, and Mr.
Madison L. Boyce, director of University Housing, looked at the problem over
a span of eight months. Student Affairs

Following are areas of concern identified in the study:

Twenty-six suggestions in this ~ea
essentially urge a new emphasis on
fostering a concept of community within
the residence halls and on publicizing
and clarifying rules and regulations affecting dorm living. Ooser relations
among students and custodial and
maintenance staff and between housing
and custodial officials are urged so each
group can understand the responsibilities and problems of the others. A
single docuntenl or handbook detailins
all matters pertainins to residential living is suggested as is a "Bill of Rights

call is made for revamping the student

mended, as are specific renovations in
lounges in Clement. The kitchen area in
the first floor north Clement lounge, for
example, should be expanded and furnished with tables and chairs, the report
suggests-or the space converted to a
cafe and music or game room.
The Clement Hall frrst floor west
lounge could be converted to diversified
entertainment or study areas with telev1sions, stereo equipment, games, desks,

books, artworks, and the replacement of
curtains.

InstaDations of rugs, wall hangings,
and sound absorbing ceiling tiles for
noise abatement purposes in the Student

Club at Ellicott are suggested, as is more
use of color and plants .
Programming
The study group wants the University to
provide

training for FSA bartenders and staff,
RA s and residence coordinators,
students, and individuals involved with
the st udent courts.

They'd like to see an increased faculty

presence in residence halls in terms of

both lectures and a program of having
fa&lt;:Uity members actually live in the
dorn.s . Echoing the widely publicized attrition/retention report of last year, the
study group found a definite need for
more events programming such as pic-

Talks with Chinese continuing;
Ketter may visit Beijing in ·faD
University offici$ have been meeting
with four representatives of China's
taraest university system during the past
week to discuss possible cooperative
programs and to show them the wide
range of UIB's offerings.
"So far, they like ·very much what
they are seeing," Dean George C. Lee of
Engipeering said Tllesday, just before
Reportn- deadline. "They are very eager
to learn things thai' arJ: going on· here.
While they are enjoying the many sight'
· seeing activities we have scheduled for
them, they really want to learn how we
operate our economic and technical programs."
. Lee said it is ·expected that if negotiations with th~ Chinese delegation aintinue to go weD; they wiD probably ex. tend an invitation to President Ketter to
visit' China in the ran to' sign a formal
agreement betweeq U/B and the Beijing
Municipal University System.

Dressed in official gray and blue

Buffalo Airport by President and Mrs.
Ketter, several other University
representatives and Channel 7's

After a luncheon h.osted by tbe Ketters, the delegation met briefly with a
Buffalo reporter. Speaking through the

Chinese would like to set up a "scholars

nics, barbecues, and baseban games in
which both faculty and their families
and students can participate. Free peer
tutoring programs and formal avenues
of student-faculty relationships such as
sponsors programs are also recommended.
Profits from vending operations or
some other similar resource could be
used to underwrite such efforts, the
study l'el!"rt suggests. •
Safdr/Secarlty
Here the study group would like to see
more frequent inspection of student
rooms, a touchy issue with some dorm
residents. The PIJ!J!"se of the inspections.
would be to identify safety-hazards such
as combustible items and faulty electrical appliances in rooms.
Interior and exterior lighting, particularly that which is part of emergency
~routes, should be examined with
an eye toward increasing safety, the
study group suggests. Stricter enforcemen! of policies relating to tampering
with frre and safety equipment is championed as is establishment of student
watch groups in highly sensitive areas.
Six recommendations under this
heading would require special funding:
the correction of an safety 'hazards
resulting from deterioration of buildings
and walkways; provision of restrictJ:d
access to residence halls; the monitoring
of road access to residential areas; the
instaDation of ventilation equipment so
students woula leave fire doors closed;
building of enclosures around frre
alarms so it would be necessary to break
them prior to pulling an alarm; and installation of an alarm on each fire extinguisher.

Vandalism
The study group wants University officials to emphasize rather than glossover or soft-pedal the costs of repairing
vandalism. It urges promj)t investigations of vandalism incillents, the use of
anti-vandalism patrols in public areas,
and an ongoing assessment of what lies
behind vandalism. ln addition, ·the

irldestructable materials."
A camera system to monitor damage
in appropriate areas such as the Craft
Center, and. more effective lounge
security are other recommendations for
curtailing vandalism.
Malntenuce/cnstodlal
A major recommendation in this area,
one which requires a funding commit·
ment, is that the University develop
maintenance

crews

composed

of

students (to supplement but not replace
present custodial staff) . These crews,
composed of work-study students from
each living area, could remove trash and
clean lounges and baths on weekends,
the study group proposes.
Cooking
The study group wants the University to
get tough when dealing with initial violations of the prohibition against cooking
in rooms and to establish appropriate
sanctions-including impounding of
banned appliances, if necessary.
Either provide more and larger cooking areas or make food service mandatory for freshmen, they urge.
Personalizing the envlroament
The Creative Craft Center could be used
to assist students in learning how to
build furniture which could personalize
their rooms, the report suggests. It also
calls for more permanent signage in
hanways and in common areas and for
the addition of murals and bulletin
boards to the now unadorned Clement
and Goodyear tunnel.
Aesthetks

Nine recommendations were made in
this area, an of which require appropriations of money:
Common and floor lounges should be
equipped with bettc;r furniture and expanded cooking facilities.
Attractive i:oordinated furniture in a
groupills, cigarette receptades or ash
trays, and wall hanginp should be provided in the immediate vicinity of the
Ellicottesscn LOunge.
Large wan hanginp mounted high,
such as those in Baldy lobby, would be
visuaDy appealing outside the Fillmore
Lecture Hall.

Bulletin boards, corkboards, and
blaclcboards could be installed as back
grouod in the bookcases' nC.r the Ellicott
Bookstore.
When existing carpeting has to be
~. bright colors and bold patterns
with textuie could be used.
Worn carpeted stair treads should be
replaoed with brick .as· in Red Jacket
BuildingS.
The apparent length of long corridors
should be minimized; instaDing mirrors
could be considered.
The walls, floors, and rupriture in the
entry area of Clement Hall should be
refurbished. The Goodyear Cafeteria
should be modernized.
Additional fmancial maun:es should
be sought to improve an student lounge
areas.

study, and wiD continue to' act as a

Wachob· anticipates
year of accomplishment
at helm of Staff Senate
Newly..,lec!M Professional Staff Senate
(PSS) President William K. Wachob
took office last week, stating that he anticipated a "year of accomplishment" .
for the campus organization.
Speaking at the June 16 meeting,
Wachob said the PSS "serves some ·850
people at the University .... It has achieved representation on all University-wide
committees as far as I know." Wachob,
assistant to the chair of the U/8 Music
Department, ~d PSS is "open" and
"effective. I hope (next year's) members
will be active, thoughtful, provocative
and demanding of their leadership," he
said. Wachob thanked outgoing President Anastasia K. Johnson for her efforts and dedication, and praised President Ketter for Ilia "openness" and support of the orpniz.ation. He added that
the reca&gt;tly-ilsued "Management of
Change" report (Reporter, June 4) will
be the focus of much discussion next
year.
.
For ber part, Johnson said the
"Change" report was the Senate's ~
jor accomplishment this year. She
thanked Wachob and outgoing PSS
Secretary Judith A. Dingeldey for their
support. "They were my guiding
lights," sbe said.
Also installed at the meeting, held in
the Martin Conference Room of Capen,
were Dr. Marilou T. Healey, as
president-elect; and Josephine A. Capuana, secretary. Healey is director of
advisement; CapUana is senior academic
adviser, both in the Division of
Undergraduate Education.
The PSS welcomed new members and
beard committee reports . Randy
Wheeler, who gave the Program Committee report, noted that a PSS sponsored lecture series bad been poorly attended. ' An average of ·22 persons attended each session, despite an attractive
line-up of speakers. Wheeler attributed

the poor showing to a 4 p.m. starting
time. But other ventures were more successful, he said, including two Sunday
brunches and a weU-attended breakfast
meeting held in February .
The Research Policy Committee,
headed by Roberta A. Rosa, plans sessions with representatives of the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. The idea is to
zet tips on applying for research funds.
Carole Smith Petro of the CoUeges suggested that the Post-Secondary Education Fund might be better suited to professionals' needs. In any case, U/ 8 professional staffers should be encouraged
to apply for institutional funds , several
speakers urged.
Gayle J . Hardy, bead of the Circulation Department at Lockwood and chair
of the PSS Affirmative Action Committee, said the group will meet shortly with
both the Faculty Senate Affmnative Action Committee and the University-wide
Affirmative Action Committee. The

three groups are concerned over " a
unified" approach, she reported . They
also wish to avoid duplication of effort .
While the PSS group may merge with
the Faculty Senate Affmnative Action
Committee, separate PSS concerns "will
not disappear,' : said Hardy. "We want
to have an active role.''
PSS plans for next fall include a
seminar on computers in higher education. a management certificate program .
a "wellness training program . •• a winery
and foliage tour and a cruise on the Miss
B&amp;iffalo. It was reported that the Senate
1s also studying the establishment of a
professio nal staff data bank,~ resoW"ce
center with "conference and workshop
materials" and working with the Personnel Department "to determine job
vacancies in professional staff
ranks. "

Archivists hear call for
national manuscripts system
More than 150 archivists, librarians and
historians beard a nationally known
figure in archival automation describe
the need for a national system for archives and manuscripts last week.
H. Thomas Hickerson, head of t he
department -of manuscripts and records
at COrneU University, opened the twoday Lalce Ontario Archives Conference
in the Woldman Theater on Friday.
He stated that in the last 50 years archi val repositories have boomed, springing up across the country, especially at
higher education institutions. This
growth bas been greatly expanded by the
use of recorded information and effective mtu181ement, be noted.
A ·~ national cooperation" is needed,
Hickerson said, to alleviate the
disorganization and spreading out of
~urces now takiJig place. The Society
of Archivists bas adopted a position
p8per for a national system which proposes that a oentralized system of information will benefit everyone through
establishin&amp; a framework for research,
.facilitating the adoption of automative
technology and creating a common access point of information, be explained.
"The paper clearly states that the
steady growth in archival repositories
will continue and emphasis must be
placed on developing a national
s~tern, :· Hickerson added.
Computer aalatuoe Is the key
C.omputer assis~ is the key to the
development of a national system of archives and Hickerson bas been in the
forefront of this activity. He is involved
with archival automation, a computerproduced guide to archives using what is
caUed "spindex software. " Hickerson
feels that greater coo~ration between
archival repositories will evolve with use
of a common data base (spindeit) for

primary source information. The virtue.
of the spindex soft ware is that it is easily
integrated with other data bases .
Even though archival automation is
still a new experience. it can be the cornerstone of a national system . Hickerson believes.
Hickerson was quick to point out
though, that "many resources are still to
be tapped and many obstacles overcome
before a national system can be
developed. "
Archival education is still a relatively
new discipline at many coUeges and
universities, so more growth in this area
is needed, be added. Another problem
that bas hindered the creation of a common system is the separation of archives
from manuscripts. Hickerson stated a
national system could include both (he
feels the difference between the two lies
only in vocabulary) and that there is little need for distinction on an institutional level.

Cooperatloa aeedtd
"There should , be a common access
point for all people interested in
research," Hickerson said, terming this
common approach to research "multiinstitutional access.,
The future prospects for an archival
system that is of use to aU people interested in the past depends heavily on
cooperation, Hickerson emphasized.
"If people are willing to .use a standard form for exchanging data, a national system can become a reality,'' he
said: He hopes , that contributing
repositories will see that they do not
have to give up on their own needs or
sacrifice fmancial benefits by participating in the system. The development of such a system will be a difficult
.prooess, but one that be feels is very
muc~needed. -~· 0

Northwestern study finds
job outlook is good
The employment picture for this year's
college graduates remains good despite
uncertainty over federal spending and
tax policies and the course of the
economy.
A survey of th.- nation's top
employers, conducted by Northwestern
Uni versity and reported by the
American Council on Education, reveals
that these businesses plan to hire this
year IS per cent more bachelor's degree
graduates and 10 per cent more master's
degree graduates than in 1980.
.The canvass of lOS selected companies
confirmed that each of these businesses
will hire on the average aboul I 88 college graduates each, pumping more than
$3.S million in new salaries into the U.S.
economy.
Northwestern University's Endicott

Report says that demand for sales and
marketing graduates is up S per cent and
demand for engineering, science and
other graduates in technical fields has increased 4 per cent, compared to a canvass last November.
Northwestern cautions tha t demand
1 for liberal arts and other non -technical
graduates has sli pped 2S per cent.
Total demand for master's degree
graduates is up 9 per cent since
November. Demand for accounting and
business administration graduates has
climbed IS per cent. The demand fo r
engineering, science and other graduates
in technical studies is up 4 per cent.
The encouri.g;ng job outlook for
graduates is an outgrowth of business '
seemingly more confident view of the
economy's future performance .

Cassata finds soap operas aren't
as sex-oriented as some think
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSia
Look out, Moral Majority!
An exploratory study reoentJy completed by a U/B communications professor indicates that TV soap OperJIS are
not sullied wiih libidinous activity lo the
extent that some video vigilantes claim.
Tbe problem with previous studies
which have been used to fuel criticism by
groups such as Moral Majority is that
researchers merely counted numbers of
sexual behaviors without examining
them from a contextual framework. Or
so says Dr. Mary Cassata, director of
U/B's Project Daytime.
What Cassata and her assistant
Thomas Skill did was different_ They
developed a qualitative index which
could be used to separate sexual
behaviors into either socially reu&gt;&lt;&gt;nsible
or socially irresponsible ones. The
categories were determined by checking
for contextual relevancy to storyline and
character development, or. by contrast,
for aratultous exploitation.

lfiPIJ e.odoaJ . . . _
Soaps were chosen for the study because
of the "hiahlY emotional chaiacler of
their domestic themes," says Cassata.
and also because they have been a target
for criticism for alleged "overemphasis
on sexual behaviors." Prime time

domestic dramas ("Eight is Enough, "
for example) were used as a comparative
measure because they are generally view·
ed as wholesome eJl\erlainment~en
by most media marauaers.
In all, seven soaps and five prime time
programs were monitored in the
Cassata study by 38 individuals who
rendered contextual descriptions of all
interpersonal behaviors observed. A
panel of j\ldaes theD used these descriptiODS lO divide the acts into either
responsible or irresponsible ones.
Cassata and Skill found that the overwhelming number (72:3 per cent) of interpersonal behaviors on soaps and
prime time pi'osrams were portrayed in a
socially responsible fashion.
Soaps, did, bowever, have more than
twice the number of irresponsible portrayals as the night-time dramas. Most
of these-49.• per cent-&lt;:Onsisted of
"verbal suaaestivencss" rather than any
actual ban.kylpanl&lt;y.
The single largest category of
behavior viewed, in fact, was 40 000aggressive touching," which IICCOunted
for 40.1 per cent of total portrayals and
SS .S per cent of the socially responsible
ones. Nnnqgressive toucbin&amp; was defin·
ed as "passive touching" between
friends, relatives or members of the opposite or same oex, such as a handshake
or caress.

Five films by Satyajlt Ray
A five ftlm retrospective of the
work of India's master ftlm artist
wiU be held here this week, featur·
ing the Apu Trilogy and two
others.
"The Apu Trilogy says and im·
plies so much more than is or·
dinarily said in motion pictures
. that it is no wonder it towers
above all the thousands of films
that have been made in lndiL ... "

Film critic BosleY Crowther gave
that review to this sweeping production of Satyajit Ray in his ~

Gmt/ Films: Fifty Goldm Yer.s of
Motion Pictvres.
UUAB is sponsorin&amp; a s=ming
of each of the parts of the trilogy
this weekend. Made between 19S6
and 1959, the features which make
up the work are: Prttlr6 PtlltduJ/i
(to be s~,Friday), ~ito,
(on SaturdaY), and Tlte World of
Apu (on Sunday). The films follow
the development of a young man
from childhood through maturity
and, IICCOrding to Crowther, con·
stitute "a lovely illumination of a
-Y of living and looking at life in
a land when: mysticism and misery
have sadly aone band in band."
The epic, be went on, bas "probably done more to give a picture of
the peat middle class of India
caught in a tangle of cultures, than
any other communication we bave
bad."

The work has been judged as the
apex of the career of writer/director Ray whose struggle to get it
fmanced and produced would
make melodrama in itself. Each of
the three films bas been showered
with aa:oladc:s at festivals around
the world.

The Reagan administration ' s recent
budget cuts are part of an ongoing
historical struggle, a U/ B professor told
a group of archivists and historians here
Friday.
David A. Gerber , associate professor
of history, was the featured speaker at a
dinner in Spaulding Quad, capping a full
day's events for the annual Lake Ontario Archives Conference.
Sponsored by the University
Libraries, the U/B School of Information and Library Studies, the Western
New York Library Resources Council,
the Amherst Museum and the Buffalo
and Erie County Historical Society, the
conference focused on topics of concern
to those interested in preservation and
use of historical records.
·
Gerber's speech, "Struggle for the
Past: Politics and Popular History,"
told of a struggle that he feels is hardly
ever talked about.
"Not all those involved even know
what it is ," he said referring to the ways
in which America sees itself as a nation.
This stroggle is stiU going on today, he
stressed.
Two myths In coolllct
Gerber said there are two recurring
"myths of the past" that have been in
contest with each other throughout
American history. He refers to one of
the myths as ''Populist, ' ' or
"democratic with a small 'd,' " and the
other as " Elitist," or conservative. The
populist myth is embodied by those people who feel that history can empower
the little people, or masses, to lead the
co untry - -who believe that the people
can gain an insight into the power strug·
gle going on around them and realize
that social change comes from
themselves. The basis of this particular
myth, said Gerber, is profoundly optimistic: " The people made the past and
can be taught lessons from it."
Gerber also alluded to the Elitist or
co nservalive myth , which seeks to raise a
particular view of history, too. This
myth justifies what everyone refers to as
the "status quo. "
"It represents carefully guided change
led by the ' archetype' of the founding
fathers," Gerber said. He qualifies this
by saying that the founding fathers were
not only George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson, but also the frrst
American citizens.
"Proponents of this myth feel change
should occur within tight molds and be
guided by men like them,'' he added.

views this century as the turning point
from the Elitist myth to the Populist
myth .
In the 1930's, the Great Depression
produced a leftward shift in historical
thought, he noted. There was a
wholesale loss of faith in the business
world and the •' masses'' came to be im·
ponant again. Cooperation and com_munity were now celebrated and individualism, criticized.
Gerber feels that the Work Projects
Administration (WPA) had a particular- ·
ly strong impact on this popular history
movement. Many artists and scholars
were given an opportunity to work, and
a sense of social change became apparent. Gerber sees a rich populist
history coming out of this period, which
still continues today.
The last popular historical movement
came to pass in the 1960's. Gerber sees
this movement as the most complex of
the four, with its roots in Vietnam,
Watergate and racial tensions. Traditional American values such as
capitalism, materialism and big business
were being questioned on many fronts.
By the 1970's, tbe children of the 60's
were entering education and writing ~
htstory that Gerber refers to as "history
from the bottom up, " containing many
ideas about social change directed by the

masses.

More importantly, many government
agencies were staffed by these "children
of the 60's" and countless state and
federal programs "for the people"
emerged.
One of these that was especiaUy important in setting the trend for the
" populist" history of the 1970's was the
National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH). Gerber views the
NEH as a program that envisions a
knowledge of the past for the masses.
"The NEH believes that the citizens
wam to reclaim our history,'' Gerber
said.
Reagan doesn 't like It
This apparently does not sit well with the
present Reagan admil)istration, which
has targeted the NEH with large budget
cuts. The NEH is being charged with
espousing populism, being narrowly
political, and furthering a nationalization of culture. Because of this, the
Reagan administration wants to see the
NEH with a "vastly reduced role," with
its only funding through tax incentives
or private .donations.
Gerber views · this predicament as a
return to the struggle between the myths,
adding, "The Reagan administration
has signaled tht deathkneU of Populist
American history and therefore the propagation of the Elitist conception."
Furthermore, Gerb;er noted that not
only the humanities are in jeopardy; our
past is as well.
"Not all our problems are
technological ones,'' he said. "We need
an analysis t&gt;f human needs and this can
be done only in the humanities."
Will this return to conservative history
last long? Are we destined to see the end
of the humanitieo and other social
changes? Is there any answer at .all?
"Until we decide what we want, our
society wiU continue to be locked in a
never-ending struggle between these
myths," Gerber said.

Tbe WASP's
Gerber proposed that these myths have
been derived from four specific popular
movements. The first two occurred in
the early and mid-19th centuries and involved native white Anglo-Saxon ProtestanJs .(WASP's).
Poverty-stricken Irish-Catholics immigrated to New England in large
numbers in the 19th century, threatening
the affluent Protestants and their way of
life. This caused the Protestants to write
and develop !;iased town histories in an
attempt to. preserve the past they loved,
a past where change ,. was slow and
carefuUy guided. The second movement
also involved a perception of threatened
status, but on a IJr&amp;er scale, he said. Urbanization and tliMtldustrial Revolution
were becoming a way of life in mid-19th·
century New England, Gerber noted.
Again, more unobjective history was
written by tbe Protestants. Gerber stated
that they painted a picttl!'e of a

The biosoclal paradigm concentrates
on the relationship of the pmon to the

Occupational behavior, Shannon
says, represents a return to the original
values and philosophies of the profession, which w= lost during the mid20th century preoccupation with the
scientific method.

Aspects of economic and cultural
decline in American urban centers and
proposals for solving urban stagnat ion
will be the focus of this summer's lecture
series sponsored by the Colleges.
Emphasis will be placed on Buffalo
and other cities surrounding the Great
Lakes; cities linked by their influence on
the development uf the industrialized
Northeast , by the types of populations
they attracted, and by common traditions regarding the use of the lakes
system. Another commonality is that
most of these same cities are now in the
throes of a decline reflected by such problems as high unemployment, pollution.
urban blight and increasing crime rates.
Community rxperts and . national
figures versed in aspects of the urban
stagnation crisis will participate in panel
discussions after each of the five lecture

presentations.
The first program

features a
videotape, "A Tale of One City: The
Decline and Revival of Buffalo,"
directed by Doug Pastel. Viewing is
scheduled for 8 p .m ., June 29, at Media
Study/ Buffalo, 'lJJ7 Delaware Avenue.
Using old photos, engravings and aerial
photography, the tape looks at Buffalo
from a historical context and examines
why and how it was first planned and
settled, the reasons for its economic and
social development, its rapi d expansion,
particularly between 1890- I 920, and
ftnally its gradnal decline until present
day redevelopment activity.
Pastel, along with urban historian
Mark Goldman and social scientist
David Broad, will comment on the tape
and discuss how they believe Buffalo can
solve some of its current problems. Both
Goldman and Broad are associated with
the Colleges and teach at other institutions.
On Jul y 13. Barry Bluestone, coauthor of Low Wages and the Working
Poor and editor of Corporate Flight:
The Causes and Consequences of
Economic Dislocation, will speak on
" Reinduslrialization and Deindustrial -

iz.ation : Its Effect on Northeastern
Cities ." The presentation will be held at
8 p.m. at the Po lish Communit y Center,
1081 Broadway. Bluestone is a faculty
member at the Socia l Welfare Research
Instit ute , Boston College .
Next. "Primary Health Care Needs in
a Time of Cutbacks ." will be discussed
by David Kotelchuck . a Ph.D in ph ysics
from Cornell now affiliated with Health
PAC , an independent, non-pr ofit
research and education- oriented
o rganization engaging in analysis of
health policy for health care workeTS,
community groups and students. The
organization, establis hed in 1968,
publishes a bi-monthl y journal and
issued its first book-length report in
1970 entitled 17te American He&lt;tlth Empire. He will speak July 20 at 3 p.m . in
233 Squire.
Before his association with Health
PAC, Kotelchuck was on the faculties of
Vanderbilt UniveTSity and Mount Sinai
School of Medicine. An expert in the
area of occupational health, he authored
Prognosis Negative: Crisis in tM Hetllth
Care Systmr, which examines the role of
the Federal government in the fmancin3-and regulation of health care and
evaluates proposals for future governmental intervention, including national
health insurance.
The fourth presentation, again at 233
Squire, features Philip Materra, formeT
editor of Zoowork MagaziN. H is
presentation, "Urban EnteTprise Zones
and Restructuring of the Cities," will
focus on the effect of the current
Republican economic plan on the
redevelopment of urban areas. His article, " Hot Child in the City: Urban
Crisis, Urban Renaissance and Urban
Struggle," was published in the
September/ October 1979 issue of

Radical America.
Materra speaks at 3 p.m ., July 27.

Kissing and embracing acco unted for

there is no "real sex" on the tube, bu t

Berrigan
warns of
'omnicide'
By PAUL SIEPIERSKI
Philip Berrigan is a veteran of two
decades of full-tirntantiwar protest and
civil disobedience, and is an avowed
practitioner of the philosoph y o f non violend!. Last March, he and his
brothe/,_oofliel, along with 6 other
religious activists, were co nvicted of
entering a ballistic missile plant near
Philadelphia and smashing missile parts
and other materials, in an effort to ex·
pose the nature of the weapons produced there . Last Sunday , he visited
Buffalo , where he spoke to a group o f
ISO at the Rose Garden in Delaware
Park .
A Poseidon Misadventure
Berrigan began by relating a U. S. Na vy
submariner' s account o f a tt rrifyi ng incident the seaman had experienced
aboard a Poseidon submarine . Each
Poseidon submarine carries 160 nuclea r
warheads, and is capable of destro ying
an equal number of medium -sized cities.
the seaman had told him , with each
warhead targeted for the Soviet Union .
.. A Poseidon at sea has to maintain
cOmmunications via satellite every halfhoUr around the clock, " said Berrigan .
"And if those communications are
broken, they go into an alert , and the y
'p repare to fire." under the assumption
that the U.S. is under nuclear attack.
On one occasion. the submariner' s
. ship was unable to establish an y such
contact . and the crew started the alert, in
preparation for launching all 160
warheads. It was not until three minutes
before the rockets were to be fired that
communication s were finall y re established .,
"What the hell happened? " the crew
demanded .
"Sunspot ," was the reply.
Berrigan explained that an "explosion
on the face of the sun " had caused the
disruption .
"It seems." he observed , "that our
peerless leaders are generating new hor rors .... faster than we can cope with
them . But the primary horror is simpl y
this: They expect to fight, and win, a
tactical nuclear war. And they are
preparing for it. ''
He asserted, as did one of his codefendants, Baltimore lawyer John
Schuchardt, during an address to U/ B
law students last February, that the U.S.
military has established a "first strike"
nuclear weapons policy. That is, he explained, our military is "only waiting
until that time approaches when we can
deploy sufficient first strike weaponry"
to destroy Soviet missiles before they are
ever able to launch an attack against us .
Berrigan warned that such a "preemptive" attack may weU result in a
"full-scale" nuclear exchange, killing
ISO or 160 million Americans, as well as
Soviets and West Europeans.
"What kind of a state would the survivors be in?" he demanded to know.
"And what about the radiation poisoning that would circle the globe time and
time again, until every living thing
would, in all likelihood, be dead?
"To fit the reality,'' be said, a new
term has been coined: "Omnicide- the
death of all things."
"Where does that leave us, sisters and
· brothers?" be asked. He went on to reject the government, the business community, the military, the media, the
campuses, and "the Church" as mere
sources of "ambiguity and confusion."
"We can oqly tum to one another,"
be counseled. "Even though we have
been raised in a culture of violence, we
must learn something about non-

violence. I I

· About civil disobedience, be Sljid, "As
'· we arow as people, we will risk more and
more for the truth. And some of us will
beain to fill I!P the jails .... We will do
-that simply because the law insulates the
whole thins aQd maltes it 1egal, and the

jail. you witiless apinst tb&lt;ise who pOt
C&lt;•YQ.II l)lere,:,becaule· you don't )leiQil&amp;

there at all. ''
The U. S. : nuclear provocateur?
Inte rviewed after his speech, Berrigan
said the purpose o f the civil disobedience
tactics he and his colleagues employ was
to "go about inflam ing or envigorating
that conscience tha t lies dormant in so
man v American lives.''
Asked about a letter of his that appeared in th e March 14 issue of The Nation, characteri zi ng the U.S. as "the
nuclear provocateur,'' Berrigan replied
that the U.S . had developed the fi rst
nuclear weapons, and th en had "kicked
orr • the Cold War by using them on the
Japanese in 1945. " At the present
time," he said, " we have a 2 to I lead
over th e Soviet Union in nuclear
warheads, and we spend 30 to 40 per
cent more on war and warmaking, including nuclear armaments, than the y
do .... And we are on first strike policy."
He said that the U.S. has led the arms
race "the whole way, and we are still
leading it today."
He agreed that such a negative appraisal of the U.S. government may be
difficult for most Americans to swallow,
noting they have been " inundated" by
government " propaganda" and "distortion " since the atomic bomb was ftrst
developed. "But the scales have to fall
from American eyes," he warned .
"The major opponent that we have in
the world ... is one that we' ve created,"
charged Berrigan, "and that's the Soviet

Union ... We have driven them to exorbita n t le n gths j u st to pr o t ec t
themselves .... And now they are a very ,
very signal dange r because they can
dest roy this count ry."
He said the Russians have suffered a
history of tremendous invasions and
casualties, and that , "they know and
fear war more than we do ." Observing
that the Soviets have set up "buffer
zones" in Europe to protect their
heartland against invasion, he said thei r
view is " strictly defensive" in regard to
the U.S. "They're paranoid with o ur
volatility and instability ."
Asked if Americans sho uld trust
Soviet leaders, he respo nded, " I think
we sho uld trust them onl y slightl y less
than we sho uld trust th is pack in
Was hi ngton."
Overwhelming urgency
In regard to t he efficacy of electoral
politics, Berrigan o bserved " ther e are
ways of becoming mo re poli tically effective than cast ing a useless ballot .' ' He
charged that both major political parties
are "dominated by concern for property."
He called for a " radically different
kind of politics," which demands that
you " confront the strong and the powerful and the unscrupulous with truth and
justice, and that you interpose your
body and your life between them and
their victims. That ' s what the Gospel
calls for. And that' s what non-violent

philosoph y is."
Nevertheless, he feels that antiwar
lo bbyi ng, and letter-writing to edito rs
and lawmakers, have been valuable and
o ften fruitful.
Berrigan sees "such overwhelm ing
urgency" connected wit h the issue o f
nuclear weapo ns, that it makes " every
ot her issue redundant .'' He feels anyone
aware o f the arms race and "the peril of
all of us" should be working in the
resistance agai nst these arms. " All o f
those people should realize that El
Salvad or is no more than a spin-o ff o f
this nuclear stand-off between ourselves
and the Soviet Union ."
But he does not see the alternatives o f
protesting the production of nuclear
weapons and o f struggling against U. S.
involvement in Central America as
presenting an " either/ or situation. " He
said Latin American revolutionaries
have told him they see North American
efforts against atomic arms as "confronting the same beast " they are confronting .
Berrigan said he and his fellow defendants are currently out of prison and are
awaiting sentencing, pending the outcome of post-trial motions they have
mad~.

His visit to Buffalo was sponsored by
the U/ B Graduate Student Association,
the Western New York Peace Center,
the Center for Justice, and the Buffalo
Community for Creative Non Violence.

Sirianni studies growth of monkeys
A U/ B anthropologist is complaing an
"atlas" for clinicians and researchers
who need guidelines on the normal
growth and development of the pigtail
monkey, commonly used in scientific experimentation.
For the frrst time, baseline data on the
growth rate of the pigtail macaque
(macaca Mmestrinll) has been established through longitudinal studies conducted over several years by Dr. Joyce
Sirianni, associate professor of anthropology and master of U/B's Clifford Furnas College.

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

Nine-year-old Nicole Cammilleri was
distraught.
Stepping to the microphone during a
"town meeting" in the Haas Lounge at
Squire last Friday night, young Nicole
said she had been looking forward to
enrolling in Women's Studi'es at U/ B
"since I was five." Now, however. she
said, it looks like she won't get the
chance. Men "who don ' t care about

women" have undermined the program, she charged, to loud applause.

Profs study how government can be more
effective during Love Canal-type crises
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
Ways in which government officials can
communicate and interact more effectively with people threatened by toxic
wastes is the subject of a study recently
completed by two U/ B political scientists.
Commissioned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ,
the report focuses on Love Canal,
described by government officials as a
"public health time bomb." Love Canal
reportedly sparked more grassroots activism than any other environmental
hazard in the country . In fact , citizen
participation in the crisis there, the first
highly publicized environmental and
public emergency of its kind, is often
viewed as a model by other Americans
facing danger from deadly chemical
wastes.
·sy studying how relations developed
betw~n government agency representatives and Love Canal residents, the.
EPA hopes to develop an effective
policy for dj:aling with citizens who ar...
similarly threatened, Gardner Shaw,
principal author of the study, explllins.
Lester M"llbrath, director of U/B's Environmental Studies Center, is coauthor.
While conducting the study, Shaw was
struck by the number of problems which
arose from people's misconceptions
about the roles of various governmentalagencies. More than 30 state, federal
and local groups were involved in the
Love Canal situation. In the majority of
cases, the agencies were performing well
within the parameters of their nonnal
duties. But conflicts arose becalise
residents either didn't understand the
specific nature of the agencies' responsibilities or their various but distinct domains. This led to charges that officials
were not perfonning their jobs adequately.
Tbo DOT served as an appraiser or
ltoaoes
Further complicating matters was the
fact that no precedent existed for
governmental intervention in such situations, so agencies were given responsibilities in areas where they nonnally
never tread. For instance, the State's
Department of Transportation played a
major role in establishing fair market
value for Love Canal homes purchased
by the State. It also assumed a leadership position in the Interagency Task
Force established by Governor Carey
after a public health threat was officially
declared.
"How many times would an agency
like DOT get involved in situations like
this?" Shaw asks.
Because "public perceptions of agency perfonnance did not mesh well with
citizens' expectations," the report concludes, "it is little wonder that at critical
junctures public passions rose."
Although adversarial r~lationships do
not have to develop between government
agenCy personnel and citizens, Shaw
believes that when persollal health or
property is at stake, -such clashes are
almost inevitable. Problems revolving
around such issues have no quick solutions, so already overwrought residents
can easily become more anxious and
frustrated. A partial solution rests in use
of open and direct communication,
Shaw suggests.
" Public appreciation of agency perfonnance was highest when citizens
. perceived agency personnel as being
ope.n, straightforward and eve.nhanded, " the report reads. "Agencoes
receive low marks from citizens, and
citizen tension and anger grows, when
[agencies] appear to be concealing information, soft-pedaling bad news, or
treating citizens in a COJ:tdescending or
inequitable fashion."
Shaw also contends the character of
communication has a direct bearing on
people who ultirria~ly emerge as leaders.
If frank .and open dis\X)urse prevail,
more cooperative individuals will have
no trouble assuming and maintaining
leadership roles. If, on the other hand,

agency personnel are not responsi ve,
more activist residents can propel
themselves into top posts. Stonewalling
does little more than " close the doors"
on those who wish to cooperate .
Use Pllbllc meellnp carefully
Officials should be wary of public
meetings as a way to communicate information, he adds. At Love Canal , public
meetings met with "uneven success,"
the report states, and "tended to
generate more beat than light. " With
e motions sometimes overpowering
reason in such settings, "almost any
response of a public official is likely to
be perceived as inadequate."
Many residents felt the emotional
flareups which characterized the public
meetings were largely attributable to advance press releases which seemed to
pose more questions than they clarified .
The report recommends that when
emotion-laden information must be
communicated to a oommunity, officials
first meet privately with leaders of
citizen groups "to discuss the in formation and share concerns about how it
might be received. "
The report also suggests that officials
provide interpretive information when
the public-must digest a large amount of
. scientific data or reports. This should
not imply that citizens are "dullards,"
the study emphasizes; in fact, many
Love Canal residents acquired relatively
sophisticated knowledge concerning toxic wastes. But highly technical material
should be explained using ordinary
language that is accessible to most
citizens. Unfortunatel y, the repo rt
notes, many public officials do not seem
to possess that talent.
Shaw is confident valuable lessons can
. be learned from mistakes made by agency personnel, government officials and
the citizenry at Love Canal . One mistake
by public officials, he feels, was their
lack of promptness and thoroughness in
communicating information to the
public.
The st udy recommends that, in future
cases, the public be told how long they

should expect to wait before information becomes available .
End disorderly communication
The report also recommends that
"disorderly communication " be
eliminated. When numerous agencies
are involved - as was the case at Love
Canal - information should be coordinated for " timing and content. " Problems arose early at Love Canal when
lower echelon members of the Task
Force contradicted already released information, the report notes. Officials
should be sure of facts before going
public, the study urges.
To be avoided are promises or
statements by public officials which
"encourage unrealistic expectations of
agency capabilities," or those which are
stated for political gain wit hout full consideration of long-tenn consequences,
the report adds.
"Though it was never their intention,
Love Canal residents "taught the nation
a lesson it needed to learn," Shaw says.
Citizen participation in unfoldi ng events
was "instrumental in bringing ou t new
dimensions of the problem" that
weren 't anticipated from the onset by
anyone in or out of government. The
report notes that few of the Love Canal
activists were highly educated, that most
came fro m lower socio-eco nomi c
backgrounds and tha t most were
women.
Nearly all those who became deeply
involved in the; situation "expertenced
some significant change in their
understanding of how the world works
ph ysically, socially and politically ,"
Shaw states. For so me, heightened activism ruined marriages. Some residents
reported feel ing alienated, at times like
social lepers. Conversely, others felt
their experiences had a major, positive
impact on their "own perception of selfworth and personal efficacy."
The report concludes, "The lives of
some of the most active of the citizens
have been changed permanently ; they
can no longer return to being the kind of
persons they once were...

WSC co-coordinators take exception to
'Reporter' interview with Dean Schwartz

Hyman

Retiring prof
intends to
keep working
Law Professor Jacob D. (Jack) Hyffian
is retiring at 71 with but one thought in
mind-to keep right on working, as he
has been dolng for nearly a half century .
A member of the U/ B law faculry for
the past 3S years, including II years
(1953-64) as dean of the law school,
Hyman hope$ to continue teaching at
least part·time, as a professor emeritus.
He also plans to continue his work in
labor mediation and arbitration, as he
has been doing for the past 2S years.
"1 enjoy my work," Hyman said in an
interview, · "a:Od I intend to keep on
doing my old jobs as much as I can."
Actually, Hyman reached mandatory
retirement age on Dec. 6, 1979, but was
granted a one:year extension.
Recognized· in the legal profession as
an expert in U.S. constitutional law, he
observed pltilosophically that Ameriea's
law schools milst take on greater responsibility "as the problems of life grow
more compieJ.."
Teaching "'minimum professional
stills" no lonaer is sufficient, he added.
"It is up to the law schools to show bow
the law fits into our complicated
world."

Racu seeb --..mpbasis
The Reagan administration, Hyman
noted, seems determined to "deemphasize the law" by "getting rid of
business regulations" in hopes of
developing cooperation between government and business.
Hyman disagreed, saying the problems involved "are too complicated to
tum over to the marketplace."
uThe law," ' he insisted, "produces
ways of accommodating conflicting

Editor:
We are writing in response to an interview with Dean of Colleges Murray
Schwartz, appearing in last Thursday's
Reporter entitled, "Colleges are all
feeling budget heat."
The dean claims that everyone in the
Colleges is feeling the heat. Some colleges are feeling the heat and others are
being burned. Women's Studies College
absorbed 28 per cent of the latest cut to
the Colleges and International College
was wiped out. The most disturbing part
of the interview is that the dean refuses
to take responsibility for his actions .
This is most clearly seen by his attempt
to manipulate the figures he claims to
have cut WSC by . We began Fall 1980
with $38,000 (a figure the dean has
agreed to) and we are to begin Fall 1981
with $20,750. Even if we follow the
dean's lead and play with the figures, the
lowest number we are able to come up
with is a $14,000 cut.
The re are many inaccuracies in the
article regarding WSC in addition to the
figures . Dean Schwartz claims that one
of the reasons he cut us was declining
enrollment and quotes our current
semester' s enrollment as 209 . He conveniently forgets 100 o f our students
taking WSC courses through crosslisted
slot s in American Studi es. Ou r
enrollments have not declined bu t have
remained steady over the past ten years
despite the most recen t a ttacks and
budget cuts by Dean Schwaru . In add ition, our services go beyond just offering courses . As the onl y established and
visible women' s program o n campus. we
serve as a women 's center . providing info rmation on women 's reso urces on and
off campus. organizing academic and
cultural activities on women and providing a link between the University and
Buffalo women' s communities. We also
provide a space where women learn to
develop leadership skills and to take an
active part in their education within the
structure of the program as well as in the
classroom. It is these services that the
dean refuses to acknowledge as existing
and being impor:t.ant to the women on
this campus. It is this perspective that
allows Dean Schwartz to claim that only
20 students were affected by the Spring
1981 Collegiate budget cut of $13,830
which WSC took. 25 per cent of.

and then in the next paoagraph praises
other colleges for having the same kind
of relationships with other units.
The reasoning Is odd
·
Dean Schwartz cuts our budget in half
and claims that our program will rema in
the same. It seems odd to us that the
dean does not think that an almost 50
per cent reduction in resources will not
have an effect on our program . Perhaps
some fact s will help to shed some light
on this issue.
Only one staff position has been
budgeted for Fall 1981. Since one person
cannot possibly maintai n the scope of
our existing program. we will lose the
women 's center work , the training of
students and the work with the Buffalo
community. The cut also reduces our
Fall 1981 course offerings by 4S per
cent. Thh means that we will lose many
of . our community instructors and
courses like "Academic Re-entry for
Women" which serve a special constituency . The dean goes on to say that we
have control over our bud!et and
a nyt hing we think is important we will
continue to fund . We definitely have
some choices to make as our budget now
stands. We can maintain our core
co urses or our Third World Women's
component or our courses that serve
special constituencies . It' s the kind of
choices tha t women usually have-no
matter which one you pick. you still
lose.
In conclusion, it seems that Dean
Schwa rtz' s claim of being a supporter of
Women 's Studies must be challenged .
Wha t does it mean when your represen-

tative to the larger university claims to
cut you less than the actual figures show,
when he refuses to acknowledge that .
a nything is lost by a 4S per cent budget
reduction, refers to the Tltird World
Women's Studies component as "socalled. " and manipulates enrollment
figures to suggest a decrease in interest
fo r Women 's Studies on campus?
It's been difficult
Needless to say it has been difficult
worlUng in the CQUegiate system with
Dean Schwartz over the past two )'tars.
We have seen more and more decisionmaking power centralized in the Dean's
office, allowing little autonomy in each
unit, to the point where individual units
have little or no say in hiring their staff
and work is constantly misrepresented to
the point of being made invisible.
We have continued our work desp ite
the constant undermining by Dean
Schwaru. The importance of the ser-•
vices we provide to many women and
support they ' ve shown us has kept us
going. Tltis support was clearly visible
last Friday night when over 200 individuals came to a town meeting to express rheir outrage &lt;fver the recent cuts.
We hope that Vice President Rossberg
will listen to the concerns and needs of
the community, as well as students and
restore these cuts so that ten years of
work by literally thousands of women is
not lost.

exciting event with over 200 people from
the Buffalo community. Speaker after
speaker testified to the iD!portance of

There were also two resolutions for
the restoration of . the WSC budget

which were read . One came from the

and the second came from the United

Talty enjoys
the title of
'Best in HRP'

40 visitors will
enroll in institute
for executives

I

By WEND\' ARNDT HUNT
On the four walls that surround him are
ragged, rumpled pieces of paper painted
with water colors and crayons. His two
children's classroom artwork collection,
which is taped or thumbtacked about his
University office, casts a reflection of
the child on this man .
When he stands up from his chai r, he
stretches up and over the full height of
an adult. He reaches out a large hand.
And smiles. His brown eyes, shadowed
by brows that sc urry away from his lids,
smile, too. He is pleased, but nervous.
With words that others would use
boastfully, Peter Talty te lls why he
thinks students in the School of Health
Related Professions selected him for the
Outstanding Teacher Award.
"First, I learned the techniques of
teaching," says the oc.QJ pational
therapist who pursued his master's
degree in health sciences education when
he returned to U/8 in 1978 as an assistant professor in the Department of
Occupational Therapy . When he majored in OT at U/ B during the late 60s,
he had not learned how to organize a lecture or effectively use questioning in
class. He did during his graduat e
studies.
"I also made the effort to know my
students by name and interest.'' he says.
By matching their characteristics with
the demands of and the personalities in
the local clinical settings, Talty believes
he helps promote positive pre-internship
experiences. "And that's paid off,"
says the coordinator of undergraduate
advisement.

memorative plaque is attached to the
reverse side.
"I don't have a rope across the seat of
it like they do in museums," he says, as
he chuckles.

eo...... for tile professloa

Another reason Talty believes students
chose him was because they appreciate
his concern for and his involvement in
the profession.
"I'm highly visible," he says, adding
that he's viewed as a role model.
Somehow, perhaps it's because of his
sincerity, his words carry no conceit.
He is not only a teacher, but also a
practicing occupational therapist: .he is a
consultant at St. Luke's Presbyterian
Nursing Center, St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Manor and Bry-Lin
Hospital . Active on the national , state
and local level of the professional
societies, he is the by-laws chairman of
the Niagara Frontier District of the New
York State Occupational Therapy
Association and a member of the Board
of Directors of the American Occupational Therapy Association's political
action committee .
After his graduation from U/ B in
1969, this South Buffalo nati ve began
practice in his chosen profession. While
head of the occupational therapy clinic
at Erie County Medical Center, he took
on a joint appointment as a junior faculty member at his alma mater.
"I taught that year and liked it. It was
as rewarding as working with patients,"
he says. When the chairman of the OT
department at U/ B asked this father of a
13-year-old son and 10-year-old
daue;hter to teach full-time, Talty
decided to make the career.shange.
"When you teach occupational
therapy, though, you must stay within
the health care system. I like the idea of
seeing a patient in the morning, then
teaching in the afternoon. I can make
my lectures more relevant by referring to
my patients," he says.
As his tenure year.is 1984, his priority
today ·is research and publication.
Coavealeilt nedetldal
Talty, a doctoral student in higher
education, initially thought the award
would. be a convenient cre\lential to aid
his tenure request. But, he says,
laughing1 "When ·I heard what the gift
would be, I wanted it so damned had."
Tl)e gift, which now sits in the family
room of his Williamsville home, is a
black University chair with cherry· arms.
Tbe U/B seal is on the seat hack; a com-

He points to a small cluster of books
on his desk and mentions he would like
to be the first allied health professional
to publish data on "bum out" in
occupational therapy. He is now setting
up a comprehensive study to find out
how long OTs stay in the field , why they
leave, and where they go.
"There must be a pattern nationwide
and the information would be useful to
us educationall y," he says .
According to what he's read, OTs, on
the average, stay in the profession for
three years .

Wby !bey Jea ..
They leave because of: I) role ambiguity-too often OTs hav.e to explain
what they do, then defend why they do
It; 2) economics-the pay scale is low; 3)
patient overload-too many patients demand too much time, attention is spread
too thin, so job satisfaction suffers.
'j Then, ' ' he says, "there are those
who quit, but stay . Know what I
mean?" Talty asks.
This was the first year that an
Outstanding Teacher Award was given
by the School of Health Related Professions, a school that encompasses the
departments of Occupational Therapy,
Physical Therapy, Medieal Technology,
Physical Education and Health Education Professions.
Talty was selected from 42 fuU-time
fac ult y members.

NEA matching grant will
underwrite visit of famed pianist

1

Rosalyn Lenzner, concert manager for
the U/B Music Department, has been
awarded a S2,300 matching funds grant
from the National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA). The award makes possible
the one-week residency here next March
of venerable pianist Mieczyslaw
Horsrowski.
The Polish-born pianist, who turns 89
on Tuesday, is returning to the Buffalo
concen stage after an absence of many
years. "He will be remembered by his
numerous appearances (here) with the
Budapest Quanet," says Lenzner. "In
the intervening years, Mr. Horszowski
has actively pur.med a multi-faceted
career as a chamber musician, accompanist, recitalist and teacher at the
prestigious Cunis Institute of Music (in
Philadelphia). "
·
Born in Lwow on June 23, 1892,
Horszowski studied at the Lwow Conservatory. At age seven, he beciune a
pupil of the famous Theodor Leschetitzky, and was hailed as a child prodigy
when be played Beethoven's C major
piano concerto in Warsaw iii 1901. He
then toured Europe and North and
South America extensively. After World
War II, he pursued a career as a soloist

and was so ught after as a chamber
pianist. giving frequent recitals with
artists like Pablo Casals and the
Hungarian violinist Joseph Srigeti. His
many recordings include Mozart piano
sonatas, Aaron Copland's 1950 Quartet
for Piano and Strings and Beethoven
chamber works. Considered a classicist
of fierce anistic integrity, Horszowski
has often been compared to the late
Anur Schnabel (1882-1951), also a
Leschetitzk~pupil. Horszowslti has
given a series of recitals devoted to the
complete Mozart sonatas as well as
Beethoven's late piano works.
"A sound and sincere artist," Harold
Schonberg calls him in his book
Great Pianists. And the great
octogenarian continues to record. In this
month's The At/Qntic, for instance,
William H. Youngren praises a recent
recording of the first ltnowp piano
sonatas by Ludovico Giustini " p)ayed
on the oldest surviving piano (1720) by
the great Mieczyslaw Horszowski."
Horszowski, whb has made his home
in the United States ·since 1940, will be in
residenCe during the week of March 14.
He will present a concert and three
masterclasses .

Ross utges
Stiffer punishments for violations of
drinking-driving laws have done little to
decrease the number of highway injuries
and fatalities caused by alcobol-inpaired
dri vers. So a U/ B sociologist contends
that decriminalizing the offense and
rendering sure, swift civi1 penalties may
prove more effective.
This conclusion is based on results of
a comprehensive study conducted by Dr.
H. Laurence Ross which examined
deterrence laws in 12 countries .
The international survey, which its
publisher, the Insurance Institute of
Highway Safety (IIHS), terms a "landmark document,'' evaluated deterrence
efforts based on ' 'Scandinavian-type"
laws (a model firmly entrenched in the
Uniform Vehicle Code in this country).
These laws define alcoh"ol impairment
offenses in terms of the amount of
alcohol fo und in the blood .
In the short run , Ross found that
passing stricter Jaws did succeed in
abating serious injury and casualties
during prime drinking hours . However ,
the effect was temporary and resulted in
no sustained decrease . One reason for
this, he theorizes, ·is that • a large
discrepancy normall y exists between formal provisions of the laws and the actual
likelihood of apprehension and conviction. Ross cites earlier st udies which indicate that a driver would likely have to
commit more than 200 drinking-driving
violations before geuing caught and,
after apprehension, would stand only a
·so per cent chance of receiving more
than a mild punishment, such as a fine .

By ROBERT BARON
Jennifer Regan is a poet, a teacher, an
actress, 8'· free-lance writer, a book
reviewer for the Buffalo Evening News,
a volunteer for the Buffalo Philharmonic Society and the AlbrightXnox
Art Gallery, a mother of three children,
and a recent graduate of the Master of
Arts in Humanities program at U/ B.
She is also the wife of the New York
State Comptroller, Edward V. Regan.
Over the years she has learned to accept
her ambivalent status as "the comptroller 's wife. " "Although I'm a raging
feminist," she says with a smile, "I can't
complail). My husband's position does
allow me access to stories, people, and
perspectives not available to most. Yet
it's finally on the merit of my work that
I'm judged; in the end I stand alone."
Jennifer's life has been one long
preparation for that "standing alone"
and the U/ B Graduate School has
figured prominently in her growth. She
graduated from Smith College with a
B.A. in English in a class which included
such feminist stalwarts as Gloria
Steinem and Sylvia Plath. "I wasn't like
them," she says. "No, I was one of
those mousey little creatures who didn't
plan for a job, didn 't feel confident
enough to write . I thought I'd eventually
wind up . in Boston working for a
publisher like every other English
major." Floating through a series of unchallenging jobs, she met her husband
while she was selling time for a TV station.

It was in the early years of their marriage. when her husband was attending
U/ B Law School, that she decided to
enroll in graduate school. "For the fi rst

Not an automatic crime
In the U.S. , this trend is due largely to
the legal concept of presumptive
evidence. Unlike in some Western countries where exceeding a certain blood
alcohol lever while driving is cot1sidered
an automatic crime, in the U.S. drivers
can present evidence to rebut a presump.
tion of impairment. a move which often
results in reduced charges.
When laws are changed to stiffen
penalties, Ross notes the results are
often counterproductive because more
legal maneuvering takes plaoe, thus
reducing the certainty of. punishment.
Heavier penalties seem to encourage
plea bargaining and leniency from polioe
and the courtS, his study notes.
A review of deterrence programs suggests new approaches are needed if a
long-range reduction in fatalities is to be
realized. Ross points out that previous
approaches, including increased polioe
detection with accompanying heavier
punishments, ;ehab programs, and use
of public education campaigns have had
little impact. In some instances, the U.S.
government has spent millions over a
several year period-as it did from
1971 -76&lt; for the $88 million Alcohol
Safety Action Programs-to no avail.
Obtrusive measures IUid llcease-yaaldq
One alternative measure Ross recommends is to increase driver perception of

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

Flora MacDonald warns of potential
difficulties between U.S. &amp; Canada
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
Through her blue eyes that slant ever so
slightly, she looks directly at her au dience . Her auburn-haired head held
high, she leans forward, clasping her
hands on her crossed knees.
The Canadian woman who signed six
passports in November I 979 for
Americans held hostage in Iran says
U / B's Canadian-American Center can
defuse potentially-explosive pr'bblems

between the two North American
neighboring nations.
Flora MacDonald, 53, who was
secretary of state for external affairs in
1979-80 during the nine months that her
Progressive Conservative Party was in
power in Canada, sits quietly on the set·
tee in the Center. In a few moments, she
will address the more than 100 guests
gathered at the June 5 dedication of the
international studies unit located in the
Darwin D. Martin house designed by

Frank Lloyd Wright.
Message of warning
Using polite words , carefully enunciated, the genteel lady nevertheless conveys her message of warning.
"In the last century, we have not had
any major violence, though it has
hovered in the distance, " she· says. The
current problems of acid rain, the auto
pact (though the U.S. has decreased production of automobiles and parts in
Canada , consequently laying off Canadian workers, Canada has not raised the
tariff levied against U.S . cars coming into Canada) and the fishing treaties (for
five years, Canada and the U.S.
negotiated a n East Coast fishing treaty;
the U.S. Congress voi ded it) could create
serious consequences unless they are
solved . MacDonald lauds the establishment of the Center, citing it as a place
where people from both sides of the
border can study the other country's
political s~tern, social concerns and
military allililltes.
She believes awareness will prevent
some problems-"We must become
more aware of each other, so we can
avoid bilateral irritants," she says.
Cooperation will solve the others.
Sllared c:ulbms
The shared cultures and values begouen
by common heritage are the bilateral
strengths that protect the stable relationship of the two countries, she believes .
"To live in peace as we have produces
a pride in maintaining it," says Mac
Donald, one of few women elected to
the Canadian parliament.

Because o f a delayed reaction to a
S78,000 budget cut first assessed the
Colleges ove r one years ago , the lnterna·
tiona! College is now offi cially kaput. A
special com mjuee has been formed with
representatives from the Presidenr 's and
VPAA's offices , the Colleges and the
Student Association, among others, to
recommend if and~ow an y of its ac·
tivities can be contin ued through other
University offices.
The committee
repon is due Jul y I .
All other Colleges except Cora P .
Maloney, Clifford Furnas and the College of Mathematical Sciences received
sliced budgets for I 98 I -82-also in
response to the S78 ,000 cut.
Women's Studies which has protested
vociferously was not ''singled out," the
dean emphasiz.ed.
Although the cuts were supposed to
affect the 1980-81 ftscal year, Colleges
Dean Murray Schwartz said units were
temporaril y saved from axing any major
programs or services until last semester
when about Sl4,000 had to be pruned .
Temporary service funds provided by
former VPAA Ronald Bunn acted as a
" buffer" against cuts during the fall of
1980. In January, ~owever , the buffer
funds were eliminated and the Colleges
were told to make provis.ions to accommodate the leaner budget originally proposed by the former VPAA .
A Colleges-wide budget and planning
committee determined guidcimes under
which any cuts would be made, with the
critical factor being maximum dollar
savings with minimum student disloca.·
lion. Less than 20 students were affected
by cuts last semester, Schwartz noted .

Word on IC was delayed
The dean relayed that his office purposely delayed announcing the fate of International College until May 15 , after
room assignments had bttn secured in
the dorms. "Every student who asked
for dorm space through the Colleges got
it," Schwartz said. The Colleges will
also retain off-line space for Collegerelated activities. The delay also provided more time for Schwartz to get final
word on outside funding possibilities
before making any annou ncements .
Schwartz lavished praise on Dr.
Genevieve James, International
College's coordinator and a lecturer in
that unit, saying she did "a first rate job
well beyond anything required." The
commiuee will decide if two of the
courses coordinated by James wiU still
be offered this fall. The fate of her
well-organized and well-received activities, such as "India Night," is also in
question.
As for her job, James' contract with
the Colleges expired in June so Schwartz
said she will not be back-at least in her
Conner position which was eliminated
with the demise of IC.
In addition to monetary considerations, Schwaru said other problems contributed to the premature death of International College, problems over which
the College had "little control." IC
could not sustain the " level of faculty

involvement " necessary to develop the
type of international curriculum indicated in its charter, the dean explained. Of all the existing Colleges, IC offered tf&gt;e "least future academic promise," he added.
·
Tbough the Colleges will no longer be
the coordinating body and main underwriter of activity for international
students, Schwartz is hopeful that at
least some of IC's activities will be
assumed by other offices, such as Housing or the Student Association.
Other Colleges
Reviewing tlie status of other Colleges,
the dean characterized Rachel Carson as
"strong," but saddled with an "inade·
quate instructional budget to meet
strong demand ." Tolstoy is now work·
ing with a "redesigned curriculum and a
new generation of leadership." Though
its budget cut was steep ($4,250),
Schwartz said the College will still be
able "to keep its central activities, but
on a reduced scale." College H , clipped
by $512, has a sizable instructional
budget but one hich is " barely sufficient to meet the high demand for its
courses." Schwartz described College H
as "being strong in just about all
areas." Each one of its courses, he added, has a solid constituency.
These three colleges were recommended for charter renewal this year .
Moving on to Cora P . Maloney. the
Dean called it a :•fine success story,"
and in effect, "a new college." He also
expressed pleaiure over the way Black
Mountain II has "taken ofr' this year
with its new programs and cultural activities for the University community.
Budgeted at $34,000, Black Mountain
has the second largest piece of the Collegiate pie. College H has the biggest
chunk at $43,500. Next comes Rachel
Carson at $27,746, Cora P . Maloney at
$25,100 and Tolstoy at $21,955. Cora P.
Maloney received an $8,216 increase for
'81-82, mostly to help finance the salary
of its new master.
In January, Schwartz announced, Urban Studies will become '·'administratively linked" with the Urban
Planning and Design component of the
School of Architecture and Environmental Design. The dean is confident that · the association will prove
beneficial to the college, leading to "new
developments in curricula' ' and ''greater
use of internship programs.'' Though its
budget was slashed by $6,000-plus to a
"hare bones" $8,000, Schwartz believes
the funds will be enough to at least begin
some changes.

budget will "permit any dimension of
the curriculum to be offered regularly if
those planning course offerings so
choose. For example, the so-called Third
World component is not necessarily
damaged (as indicated last week in a letter to the Reporter), but could be offered if it were considered sufficiently
important." WSC decides how it spends
its money, not the dean, Schwartz
pointed out.
WSC enrollments declining
The decision to cut the WSC budget was
partially due to decreasing enrollments,
the dean explained. According to
Schwartz, the total in all sections of all
courses is 209. Of that figure, 34
students are enrolled in " Women's Auto
Mechanics," he said, which was not approved as a part of the BA offering. A
large number of the remaining 175 are
enrolled in sections 213 and 214, which
are central to the program. The enrollment situation "does not put the college
in a strong position" in relation to the
others. In fact, its share of the budget is
"disproportionately high in relation to
the number of students it serves,"
Schwartz asserted .
To listen to some accounts, Schwartz
said, he sou nds like he arbitrarily dolesout money from a Midas-sized budget,
when, in fact, his whole budget is less
than what some University graduate
programs operate on. He resen ts WSC
spokespersons characterizing him as
some sort of "anti-feminist ogre" bent
on destroying the College.
Often ignored , he noted , is the fact
that less than one-third of WSC funding
comes from the Collegiate System. The
largest portion is provided by American
Studies. When this is considered, the entire resource available to Women's
Studies programming was reduced only
10 per cent. And it 's not as if other colleges didn't suffer reductions. "They
were not victimized. ''
Schwartz said that if WSC wants to
improve its fiscal lot, its representatives
should enter into some "cooperative
financial arrangements" as other colleges have done , such as Black Mountain
with the Music Department or others
with Millard Fillmore and the English
Department. Securing grants would
help, too.
The dean further disputes the charge
that WSC representatives were not consulted regarding cuts . Plans were
presented to and discussed by the Colleges Planning and Budget Committee,
w.hich has a representative from each
college .

Can-Am Center debuts
as a 'cultural bridge'
By DOUG CARPENTER
In official dedication ceremonies coming
little more than a year after its inception,
the Canadian-American Center of the
State University at Buffalo became a
reality this past Friday .
The Center, located in the Darwin D.
Martin House at 125 Jewett Parkway, a
building designed by architectural great
Frank Lloyd Wright, will stand as "a
bridge of cultural understanding" between Canada and the U.S. President
Robert L. Ketter proposed the Center's
creation in May of 1980, and Friday expressed his delight that the project moved from proposal to reality so quickly.
" The Center already has sponsored a
number of successful programs, including a major Canadian Poetry
Festival and a conference on Acid Rain
that caused a great deal of comment in
the press in both countries," he noted.
"Moreover, the Restoration and Fundraising Committee of the Friends of the
Martin House bas been quite successful
to date in the initial drive to obtain funding to restore the House to its original
state. I am confident," be concluded,
"that this success and that of the Center
will continue."
Close to 100 University and community leaders gathered on the Martin House
lawn under balmy skies to hear a series
of dignitaries contribute their thoughts
to the marking of the Center's dedication. Their remarks formed a chorus of
enthusiasm for the Center's potential.

Minorities clustered in areas
of low employment, study finds
By J OYCE BUCHNOWSIU
Despite the fact that more job opportunities are available in engineering and
the hard sciences, data indicate that
racial minorities are continuing to pursue degrees in areas of low employability, and do not show the interest nor
possess the necessary background skills
to break away from restrictive career
patterns.
What is needed to reverse the situation, suggests one U/ B faculty member,
is a dramatic change in career counseling
programs for minority you thprograms which now tend to reinforce
rather than alter traditional career
choices.
In a recent article publiShed in the
Jouf71Q/ of Non-White Concerns, Elsie
Smith, associate professor of counseling
and human services, points out that
blacks, native Americans, Hispanics and
Asian Americans are still concentrating
ocia1
their vocational efforts in th
sciences, particularly in social work and
teaching. From July 1973 to June 1974,
for instance, Smith reports, almost half
the black college student population and
one-third of the Hispanics and native
Americans earned undergraduate
degrees in one of these two fields.
By contrast, 1977 figures from the
National Center for Educational
Statistics indicate that racial minorities
received only 5 per cent of the total
number of bachelor's degrees earned in
engineering, 6.6 per cent of the total in
biological sciences and 5.3 per cent of
those awarded in physical sciences.
Though the past few years have
brought some improvement in the
number of minorities entering "nontraditional" academic programs, the
percentage of degrees actually conferred
to them still remains dismally low . One
reason, Smith advises, is the high attrition rate for minorities in these courses
of study. To substantiate her thesis, she
cites data collected by the Committee on
Mioprities in Engineering (1977) which
reveal that only about 55 per cent of
minorities who enter such programs
graduate, compared to 79 per cent for
non-minorities.
It .. o~ take 50 years for proportionate

represeatatloo
Blacks, in fact, are so underrepresented
in engineering that even if the number of
black students graduat ing from
engineering schools increased 15 per cent
· a year, it would take approximately 50
years for them to "achieve proportionate representation in the nation' s
engineering force; that is, one black for
every nine whites." Moreover, with
blacks receiving only 1.1 per cent of the
doctoral degrees in engineering and the
physical sciences, and 6.7 per cent in
education, it would take ''at least
another 45 years" before they are proportionately represented in college faculty positions.
Smith contends the lack of minorities
in the sciences is directly attributable to
low achievement in math, science and
reading. Her claim is confmned by
several studies cited in the article, including a 1917 report from the National
Science Foundation which concludes
that "minorities ... appear not to have
developed the background skills needed
for science activities prior to college entry." The report goes on to predict that
blacks and Hispanics will likely remain
underrepresented in the sciences until
methods are developed to help them attain the necessary skiUs before high
school.
·
In light of t.b,e current data, Smith
recommends that training in math and
science be " sequential and uninterrupted" from elementary through high
school, and that even non-rollege-bound
students be strongly encouraged to take
algebra and geometry. Such course work
is important, she reasons, because the
subjects are needed for suocessful completion of many vocational and technk:al

Teachers, parents IUid coulllelon must

Traditional career patterns of racial
minorities will probably not change,
submits Smith , until teachers ,
counselors and parents take an " active
role" in career counseling programs.
Because minority students seem to lack
essential information on science-related
professions, Smith suggests counselors
establish " scientific career information
centers" io science coUrses and school
counseling offices. In addition, she
recommends that such centers be
augmented with resources from private
business and industry, such as on-site
visits, work-study assignments, and
guest presentations by company'
representati ves. Smith also urges
teachers to make it their business to
acquaint" themselves with university.
related and national programs designed
to identify and assist minority students
who show promise in science and

mathematics, such as the Minority
Engineering Education Effort (ME&gt;)
and tbe Mathematics, Engineering and
Science Achievement Program (MESA) .
In order for an y awareness program
to be successful, Smit h emphasizes ,
counselors must interact closely with
teachers and recognize their influence on
the formula tion of student . opini ons.
Together , she says, co u nsel ors and
teachers can better identify students with
interests and ab ilities in math and
science as well as develop projects which
can further stimulate their curiosity.
Involvement of parents is also crucial .
Smith advises counselors to enlist parental support by infonni ng them of the
necessity for special career development
programs , by asking permission for their
sons or daughters to participate in one,
and fi nally by seeking their invol vement
in a few outside and home activities
which could serve to rei nforce ideas
presented in the classroom.

Student ambulance unit
will be on call at Amherst
Come fall , the new Amherst Campus
ambulance service will be operating in
earnest.
With ti ttle fanfare , a new amb ulance
was delivered at about 6 p.m ., April 15 .
It answered its first call an hour and a
half later to take a student suffering
from an athletic inj ury to the hospital .
Since then , it has responded to abou t a
dozen calls.
During the school year , the ambulance will be o n call 24-hours a da y,
seven days a week under the skilled
guidance of the Baird Point Volunteer
Ambulance Corps, so named fo r the
landmark on the sho re of Lake La Salle .
For the summer-at least for the time
being-an ambulance will he dispatched
to the campus by the volunteer Getzville
Fire Company or a private amb ulance
fliiD , as was the system before acquisiti on of the new vehicle.

T"'o students get credit
Much credit for es tablis hing the new ambulance service belongs to two students,
David Hoffman of Wheatley Heights,
Long Island, and Douglas Floccare of
Jamestown.
Hoffman, who will be entering his
senior year in September as a student in
public administration, serves as executive director of the newly established
40-member, all-volunteer ambulance
corps.
Floccare, who will be entering his second year of medical school, was the
original director of the U/ B Rescue
Squad, forerunner of the ambulance
corps. Now, the resources of both
organizations are combined.
The proposal to purchase an ambulance was formally presented to the
UIB Faculty-Student Association last
September, Hoffman recalled. The
association appropriated $23,500 for its
purchase. Additionally, the Student
Association, through Sub-Board I, appropriated $3,000 to equip the ambulance with basic frrst aid equipment.
Hoffman, who serves on the ambulance corps' seven-member board of
directors, explained that most members
of the group are state-licensed emergency medical technicians, trained in advanced frrst aid and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Among the 40, he added,
are ni11e qualified drivers.
ArotaiMI-~ock staff!. .
A three-member crew consisting of a
driver, an attendant and a training attendant will always be on duty at
Amlloent when the ambulance is in service. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., five three-

member crews are assigned two-hour
shifts. Another crew is assigned a six~
hour tour of du ty from 6 p.m. to midnight and another, an eight- hour tour
from midnight to 8 a. m.
Communication is maintai ned by an
electronic paging system and two-way
radio. Crew members on duty, who
carry individ ual pocket pagers, are summoned by the Department of Public
Safety when a call for am bulance service
is received. Two radios owned by the
ambulance corps, one of which is installed in the am bulance, are li nked to the
Erie County Medical Emergency Radio
System (MERS).
Under its state ticense, the red-striped,
whi te ambulance can respond only to
calls on the Amherst Campus. Hoffman
noted, however. that " response time " is
being studi ed to determine whether it
would be feasible to also serve Main
Street. Another possibility for Main
Street would be acq uisition of a second
ambulance.
U censed by Albany
Licensed by the State Department in
Albany as a not-for-profit corporation,
the ambulance co rps can serve anyone
on the Amherst Campus, including
visitors, and the service is free. The
corps also is licensed by the State Health
Department.
The University itself provides fuel and
maintenance f or the new ambulance and
office space in the Porter Quadrangle at
Ellicott. The ambulance currently has
been stationed in a parking lot near
Porter Quad, but a request has been submitted, Hoffman said, for permission to
park the vehicle in the nearby Fargo
Quadrangle loading-dock tunnel.
The ambulance can be summoned on
the Amherst Campus by contacting the
Department of Public Safety at
636-2222.

Monkarsh
suspended
as coach
President Robert L. Ketter announced
J une 5 tha t he will follow the recommendation of the Faculty Senate Committee
on Athletics to suspend Varsity Baseball
Coach William Monkarsh from all
coaching responsibilities at the University until September I , 1982.
In accordance wi th Article 19 of the
Agreement between the State of New
York and United University Professions, Inc .. Ketter has issued a Notice of
Disci pline to Mookarsh.
The union contract allows for an appeal to be made within 10 days. If there
is no appeal, the disciplinary action,
which also incl udes a letter of Repri mand. will automatically take place.
Ketter said the decision resulted from
the conduct of the varsity hasebali team
on its 14th annual southern tri p to
Florida as reported to him by the Faculty Senate Committee on Athletics.
Ketter advised the Faculty Senate
Committee that its report has raised
some serious questions about procedures
followed by the Uni versity's varsity
baseball program. He indicated he will
requ est a review of this aspect of the
report by Dr. Walter N. Kuoz, acting
dean of the Division of Undergraduate
Educati on , and Dr. Salvatore R.
Esposito, assistant dean in D.U.E. and
chairman of the Department of R=eation, Athletics and Related l nsrruction.
The President said he is taking this
di rection to insure similar problems will
not arise in the future.
He said the report made other recommendations of a broader nature, including raising questions concerning the
administrative relationship of the
Department of R.A.R.l. to the Division
of Undergraduate Education and other
University units. Ketter said he will appoint a study group to review the Faculty Senate Committee recommendations
and to advise him of their conclusions.
Ketter indicated he will now tum his
attention to the recently proposed plan
to upgrade intercollegiate athletics.
Monkarsh, a tenured assistant professor in R.A.R.l. , will continue in that
capacity through tbe suspension. His
14-season baseball record at the U Diversity is 402 wins, 224 losses and nine ties.
He was temporarily suspended by Ketter on April 24 after 23 games were
played in the 1981 spring season.
. Previously, the varsity team had been informed by Esposito that it would be prohibited from participating in any postseason tournament competition.

Researcher's book advises grant seekers
Though research and publication are
essential to the future of University
faculty, many don't know how to get
vital financial support, Dr. Harry A .
Sultz, author of a newly-published
book, Grant Writing for Health ProfessioiUlls, believes.
Getting money, says the dean of the
School of Health Related Professions,
"is a skill based on familiarity with the
rules IUid rituals of the JlliiDe." His book
presents a step-by-step method of applying for monies.

"The probability of success in getting

a proposal funded, " notes Sultz, who
has obtained more than $4. 5 million for
grants and contracts during the past 18
years, depends partly on adherence to
the proper preparation and presentation
of an idea.
The $12.95 soft~over text was coauthored by Frances S. Sherwin. Sultz' s
assistant for the past 14 years, who has
both a bachelor's and a master' s degree
in English.

Flora MacDonald
issues warning
Sarprtoed by obslades
But for a moment, the public official
allows her private person to emerge. Her
reserved manner maintained, she slips
back to her days of youth, so to explain
both her nature and her vocation.

As one of five daughters raised by a
fathe&lt; who advocated eqwdity, she was
surprised to encounter obstacles put in
front of her because of her sex.
"Not until I got out into society, did I
see these barrier11. For the next 10 years
of my life, I could not figure them out. I
was frustrated. But I teamed from other
women who bad gone through them or
over !hem," she says.
MacDonald bad always been enticed
by politics. When she lived in London
during the late 19SOs, she ofteo visited
the BritiJh House of Conlmons. As she
watched, as she listeoed, the desire to be
one of the elected posseSsed her.
Her study in polilical science, though,
was utilized for the next several years to
aid her not as a politician, but as a professor and administrator m the 'DePart-

ment of Political Science at Queen's
University .
Sbe wo11; abe loot
But once the battle between feeling inadequate and believing she needed to be
twice as good to be equal had resolved
itself, she submitted her name as a 1972
candidate for representative of Kingston
and the Islands in Ontario. She won.
The Honourable Flora MacDonald
lost her bid, through, five years ago, for
leadership of her party. Instead of gaining the inherent title of prime minister,
which was bestowed upon the victorious
Joe Clark, she was given the post of
secretary of state for external affairs.
As such, she helped free six
Americans held hostage in Kbomeini •s
Iran, saving them from a year's captivi·
ty.
Standing up to walk out into the
brilliant afternoon sun to address those
gathered for the dedication, she
reiterates that tbe friendship between the
two countries must not be taken for
granted. Abuse of the relationship could
strain the ties that bind, she says.
Softeoing her words with a smile, the
tall Canadian politician walks toward
the outdoor podium to repeat her
0
message.

Affirmative action
attacks called serious
Editor:
Persons who are concerned with justice
in the United States should be aware of
the serious attack on afft.rmati ve action
programs
now
underwa y
in
Washington, D.C.
Shortly after Ronald Reagan took office , he received a report from his advisors advocating reductions in the
budget and staff of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a
reversal of the affirmative action gains
made by minorities and women. While
these recommendations have not yet
been acted upon, Reagan is not expected
to be a strong supporter of the concept
of equal opportunity.
Currently, the most serious threat to
affirmative action programs for minority Americans is the Hatch Amendment
(S .J. R.es . 41), introduced in the Senate
by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R.-Utab, chairman
of the Senate Labor and Human
Resources Committee who has publicly
aired his opposition to affrrmative action .
This ameRdment "strikes at the core
of affiiiD.ative action" and " masks an
underlying reversion to racist, sexist and
inhuma nitarian ideas," said one
member of a lobbying team for the
American Association for Affrrmative
Action in Washington last month.
Specifically, the Hatch resolution calls
for an amendment to the U .S. Constitution which reads:

T •xt of proposal
"Section I. Neither the United States
nor any State shall make or enforce anr
law which makes distinctions on account
o f race. color, or nationaJ origin.
"Section 2. All laws of the United
States or any State which prohibit
discrimination on account of race, colOr, or national origin by private individuals or enterprises shall not be construed to permit the establishment or
mainteoance by such private individuals
or enterprises of any program or policy
that makes distinctions on account of
race, color or national origin.
"Section 3. Neither the United States
nor any State shall establish or maintain,
or require or permit any private individual or enterprise within the scope of
section 2 to establish or maintain. goals,
quotas, timetables, ratios, or numerical
objectives which make distioctions on
aocount of race, color, or national
origin.
"Section 4. Neither the United States
nor any State shall make any law which
prohibits any person in the absence of
intent to discriminate on account of
race, color, or national origin, to take
actions, otherwise lawful, which have a
disproportionate impact or effect upoo
individuals on the basis of race, cotor, or

NOW denounces
abortion bills
Edt lor.

The Buffalo Chapter of the National
Organization for Women (N .O .W .) expresses its deep disappointment about
the passage of bills in Congress cutting
off federal Medicaid funding for abortions in cases of rape and incest. These
bills, sponsored by Jesse Helms in the
Senate and Henry Hyde in the House,
continue the policy of the Reapn administration to whittle away abortion
rights for all women. What is particularly unjust about this legislation is that
while abortion remains safe, legal and
accessible for affluent women, poor
women and children are denied this
right. Moreover, New Right groups such
as the National Right-to-Life Party and
the Moral Majority have demonstrated
their lack of compassion and cruelty to
medically i.ndigi:nt victims of these
traumatic crimes by pushing for such
legislation. By forcing pregnant rape
and incest victims to either bear a child
who is the symbol of their psychologically damaging c:xperience or to seek
dangerous back-alley abortions, Helms,
Hyde and their associates of the New
Right have shown a callous disregard for
human life. They are, in fact, anti-life
and anti-fllmily, since an enforced
pregnancy or illegal aborti011 can only
damage more an already dama&amp;ed
human life and have severe consequences for the woman's family .
New York State bas shown its compassion for poor women by being one of
nine that continues to fund all Medicaid
abortions. We can thank Qoyemor
Carey, Senator WUTen Andenon, and
Assemblyman Stanley F'mk for passiiJI
the State budget which included
Medicaid funding for abortions. We
fervently hope that all states will at least
continue to fund Medicaid abortions in
rape and incest cases, a stand that a majority .of Americans support, thereby
showing a compassion and understanding for innooent victims of these crimes
that Helms, Hyde and their associates
regrettably lack.

'The Wright
Way in

Buffalo'
By LINDA GRACE - KOBAS

" The lines of vision are smaller in a
Wright house and there is a great sense
of openness-controlled openness.
Design is total with the exterior entering
into the interior-the overall effect being a complete work o f art.''
The public got a rare opportunity to
view five •'complete works of art,'' as
described by Jack Quinan of Art
History, on Saturday when the Friends
of the Darwin D . Martin House sponsored a fund-raising program called the
" The Wright Way in Buffalo. "
The highlight of the program was the
offering of tours of five Frank Llo yd
Wright-designed homes in Buffalo, four
of them never before opened to the
public. An evening Larkin Buffet , with a
Wright "home movie" and commentary
by his former apprentice Edgar Tafel,
and a lecture on the Larkin Administration Building by Quinan completed the
day which was planned as an early
celebration of Wright 's birthday on
June 8.
From Toronto and Syracuse
Approximately 400 people went through
the homes between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.,
coming from as far as Toronto,
Syracuse and Geneseo. One young man
loaded down with camera equipment explained that he was on an exchange program from Germa ny and wanted to see
the works of America' s most famous architect.
Most people reacted strongly while
going through the houses, and fell free
to comment on the designs and decide
which was their favorite. One engineer
traced his finger along a brick wall in the
Martin House and said to his two companions, " Bricks are very hard to keep
clean." Another man asked bow much it
would cost to put up a comparable
building today. President Robert Ketter ,
who was providing a shuttle service between houses, replied, ''Astronomical.''
Tour-goers were treated to first-hand
comments by people living in the houses
as well as to prepared descriptions offered by guides at posts in each.

Eleanor
Eric Larrabee own and
live in the George Barton House (1903)
on Summit Avenue, around the comer
from the Martin House. Mrs. Larrabee
was ulced by many people what it was
tilce to live in the bouse, and how she
chose furnishings for it. She described
her one mislalce, which was to try to be
"too true to his concept" by purchasing
brown, square living room furniture .

"I'm sorry. now I was so conventional," she said. " Now I rc:alize that
almost anything would go in that
room."
Tafel aplaiMd ,.bat Wricht maat
Ta{d could he seen in each bouse from
time to time. With his band resting on
original woodwork or dining r&lt;&gt;&lt;:&gt;m ·
cabinetry, be explained to alleOUve
groups what Wright meant to accomplish_.
The Gardener's Cottage (1905) on
Woodward Avenue was part of the
origina) Martin House complex and
stood next to the estate's greerthouse.
Now it is separated from the main house
by unimaginative brick . apartment
buildings and asphalt parki'!S lots. All
that is left of the greenhouse ts the foundation. ·

Owned by Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Jakubowski, the Gardener's Cottage remains distinct from neighboring clapboard houses on Woodward by its clean
lines. Quinan explains that while it is
" minimal Wright, " built very inexpensively fo r a groundskeeper, it is also
"maximal Wrigh t" in its trueness to
Wright's "organic" sense of design .
The William R . Heath House
( 1903-1905) on Soldiers Place is now
owned by Nancy Ellwood. Its windows
are considered the best that Wright
designed in Buffalo .

Davidson House a favorite
The favorite of man y of the tour -goers
was the Walter V. Davidson House
(1908) on Tillinghas t. Quinan described
the east living room with its cathedral
ceiling and huge window bay as "the
finest of Wright 's spaces in Buffalo."
Remembering that this exquisite room
with its natural woodwork and central
ftreplace was designed just after the turn
of the century reinforces the notion that
Wright was far ahead of his ti me.
Some tour-goers walked to the various
Wright houses with a game of "let 's see
if we can guess which one it is" in mind .
But there was no challenge to the game
si nce the Wright houses all stood apart
in such a way that there could be no
question . In fact , the Wright houses
looked newer than many of their tradi~onally designed neighbors.
More than 100 people later enjoyed
the Larkin Buffet, named for the co mpany that originated the mail-order concept and feat ured home products ranging from soaps to spices. Quinan's lecture was attended by about ISO people.
Complete success
''The day was a complete success,''
Lorelei Ketter, who with Quinan chairs
the Friends of the Darwin D . Martin
HOuse, said. " I knew there were many
fans of Wright in this area; we were very
thrilled by the attendance all day."
The several thousand dollars raised
Saturday will be applied to the Friends'
general fund for renovations on the
Martin House.
Still available for purchase are
posters, t-shirts and buttons featuring
Wright's "tree of life" design used in
the windows of the Martin House, and
stationery and postcards.

�It took just one decade for the auto
to alter the way we live, researcher finds
By MILT CARLIN
You love your automobile. True or
false?
Most car owners, based on historical
fact, are smitten, despite current
economic factors that seem to have
taken some of the " pleasure" out of
what once was called the ''pleasure
car.' '
Much has been written about
automobiles, particularly from a hobbyist point of view, but "scholarly
studies" on the role of the automobile as
a social factor have been all but lacking,
according to a U/B graduate st uden t in
history who has been researching an allimportant era in the phenomenal growth
of motoring as a way of life.
Ernest G. Brown, a 44-year-&lt;&gt;ld bookto.t in' Texan with a drawl as broad as his
knowledge of Buffalo's automotive
history in the " Roaring 20s, " has
chronicled his findings in his dissertation
for a Ph.D. degree.
Return of 'mixed' transportation
pmllcted .
Brown, who gave up his position as a
U/B librarian "to become a student
again, believes the automobile is here to
stay, although in a setting of "mixed
transportation" such as that which
- thri ved in the 1920s when the
automobile became a dominant factor in
the City of Buffalo's transportation
development.
"Bicycles and trolleys, together with
trains and steamships, formed the world
of transportation in which the
automobile grew up," Brown writes in
his dissertation. "It was this world that
the automobile carne to dominate."
Brown observed in an interview that
current trends, such ·as ex pensive
gasoline and repairs, the cost of new
cars, and vanishing automotive luxury,
formerly exemplified by size and power,
may well dictate a ugreater mix" of
transportation for the future. As a hedge
against inflation, the traveling public,
Brown believes, will make greater use of
mass transit, whether by land, sea or air.
" But," be added, "I don't see how we
can ever do without the car."
During the 1920s, Brown wrote, Buffalo's population "adopted the
automobile in record numbers and
adapted their leisure to the mpbility it
offered; their lives to the changes it caused."
.
'Houe-loaabud' and atadeat .
A full-time librarian at Lockwood
Memorial Library for four years,11rown
gave ·up that position about 10 years ago
to become a student again-and a
"house husband." His wife, Patricia,
becaJJ&gt;e the family's sole breadwinner by
mutual agreement while Brown shared
in housekeeping chores, including the
cocilrin&amp;, as be pursued his slu!lies. Mrs.

Brown is a librarian in the Town of
Tonawanda school system, serving Ben·
jamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton
elementary schools. The Browns have
one daughter.
Brown views the present growth of
light rail rapid transit systems, such as
the one under construction in Buffalo,
as a rebirth of the electric trolleys of the
1920s..
"O nce the urban street railway
became electrified, " he wrote, "it no
longer stopped at the city line, but kept
right on going to the suburbs, the next
town and then a neighboring city. The
inter-urban trolleys linking Buffalo to
Rochester, Niagara Falls and Erie, Pa.,
offered Buffalonians frequent, nexible
connections with those· cities and with
small towns across Western New York.
They also carried Buffalonians to the
amusements and fresh air at Olcott on
Lake Ontario."
But then came "auto fever."
With cars being built " to he driven
and enjoyed," Brown noted," motorists
thronged the highways of the Niagara
Frontier." He reported that the number
of motor vehicle registrations in Buffalo
jumped from 33,000 in 1919 to 128,000
in 1929. " Highway developmen ts either
planned or undertaken during the
20s, "Brown wrote, "served Buffalo and
Erie county as. a basic network until the
coming of the New York State
Thruway."
Also during the decade, New York
State voters approved a $300 million
bond issue to eliminate railroad grade
crossings, Brown pointed out, and the
State assumed respons ibility for building
and maintaining bridges on State
highways instead of leaving this responsibility to individual communities.

" To keep Buffalo automobi les running, " Brown added, "hundreds of cu rbside pumps supplied gasoline . As the
decade passed, gasoline inc reasingly was
sold by off-street filling stations."
A highly visible political force at the
time was the Automobile Clu b of Bu ffalo, the local affi liate of the American
Automobile Association (AAA) . From
1900 to 1925 , Brown pointed ou t, the
local club produced four national AAA
presidents.
" I n fact," Brown com mented, "the
Buffalo club was kmd of a model for
other AAA clu bs."
One of the first regional planning
agencies organized in New York State ,
the Niagara Frontier Planning Association, sponsored a statewide meeting in
Buffalo in 1924 to discuss construction
of new roads. One of the proposals was
a highway across Grand Island and
bridges to link Buffalo and Niagara
Falls, Brown pointed out.
Facts about automotive progress
As for other facts about Buffalo's "love
affair" with the automobile in the
1920s, sometimes aided and abetted by
New York State and Erie County,
Brown offered these tidbits:
• New York State levied its first tax
on gasoline in 1929, 10 years after
Oregon started the ball rolling.
• At the hegining of the 1920s, nonurban areas of Erie County counted
1,888 miles of roads and highways, 55
per cent surfaced in some manner, 45
per cent dirt. At the end of the decade ,
there were 2,361 miles of roads and
highways, only 16 per cent dirt, for a net
gain of 1,000 miles of " all-weather"
roads.
• Erie County developed the Greater
Motorways Systein, which consisted of
three loops to divert traffic around Buffalo and 22 radial roads -leading out of
the city to intersect the outer loops.
e Snow removal on Erie County
highways began in 1923. By the end of
the decade, the cou~ty was clearing 400
miles of roads.
• Special enclosed car shows were
held in 1917 and 1920, but these were
discontinued because enclosed cars carne
to dominate the market. In 1920, only 10
per cent of the cars manufactured were
enclosed, compared with 90 per cent in
1929.
• A 1926 survey showed 379 curbside
filling stations in Buffalo and 421 drivein stations.

Baffolo was a manufacturing center
As automobiles became "big business"
in America, Buffalo became known as a
manufacturing center, the "home" of
the Thomas Flyer and the Pierce-Arrow .
Brown related that a Buffalo-produced
Thomas Flyer won a famous New YorkParis auto race in 1908, while the betterknown Pierce· Arrow, a prestige car,
won several Glidden Tours in the early
part of the century.
" Tardy adoption of the eight-cylinder
engi ne during the 20s probably hurt
Pierce-Arrow sales,'' Brown related,
"but not its reputation for elegant
motoring.
"Many wealthy motoris ts preferred
automobiles with custom bodies like
those crafted in Buffalo by Brunn, who
Lake Sbore Road bad the beavlest
produced excellent coachwork for _an intntftc
ternational clientele."
• A 1927 traffic survey showed that
As autqmobile sales spurted in the , Lake Shore Road carried the heaviest
1920s, an abundance of agencies formed · vehjcle load, 6,500,000 cars per year;
an "automobile row" along. Buffalo's Delaware Avenue was second with a
Main Street, stretching from North to
count of 6,180,000.
Ferry Streets. the annual auto show
• The number of Buffalo-.traffic
drew·capacity crowds at the Connecticut
deaths climbed from 107 in 1920 to 196
· Street Armory.
in 1929.

e As automobile touring and camping grew in popularity, various kinds of
equipment was manufactured to accommodate the traveler. In 1925, the Buffalo Wire Works advertised the "Charcoal Johnnie" or the "Buffalo Portable
Roadside Cooker" for S4.
• Before the federal government
established its system of national
highways, individual associations at·
tempted to esta blish routes to guide
tourists around the country. Buffalo lay
on the Boston-to-Seattle Yellowstone
Trail , and was also the northern terminus of the Jackson Highway leading
to New Orleans.
• The Buffalo Automobile Club supplied members with infonnation about
road conditions throughout the country
and local newspapers published information about road conditions in
Western New York . Because road conditions were changing rapidly during the
decade due to new construction, the infonnation proved especially helpful to
Buffalo area motorists.
• A 1929 report claimed that " more
automobiles from other states and coun·
tries pass through Buffalo than through
any other city in the world." Niagara
Falls accounted for much of the traffic.
Gateway to mass leisure
These facts and more, Brown observed,
mark the 1920s as the gateway to mass
leisure.
"In one decade, " he added " the
growth of automobile manufacture,
sales and ownership altered the physical
and social landscape of the nation .
"Although Americans utilized cars
for work as well as for play, they bought
them more for pleasure than for profit,
as the once-popular term ' pleasure car'
implies .''
The growth of automobile-related
leisure, Brown further noted, " touched
every area of American life-home,
church, school, club, shop, city hall,
state bouse, and national capitol."
Brown; a native of Houston, Texas,
hopes to complete the requirements for
his Ph.D. this summer, set aside his
" house husband" apron and return to
library work .
The holder of a master's in library
science from Simmons College in
Boston, Brown bas his sights on becoming a bibliographer, dealing with the
historical classification of library collections.

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.&lt;/p&gt;

Mid-summer start for Bookstore?
By .JOYCE BUCHNOWSKJ

After a three-year postponement, construction will begin on Folleu's
Bookstore by mid-summer. With any
luck- that is, with no unusual labor,
building or weather setbacks-the new
facility on Parcel B should open its
doors in time to greet students coming
back from semester break in Januaty.
The long-awaited announcement was
made by Robert J .R. Follett, chairman
of the Follett Corporation , during a
May 18 interview with the Reporter at
the Buffalo Club .
According to FoUett, the one-floor
bookstore, originally planned at
25,01»-square feet, was trimmed to
22,000, though inflation has increased
its cost to about $1 .3 million. Back in
1978 when his corporation first considered building on Parcel B, FoUett
recalled, the projected construction cost
was under Sl million.
The bookstore, which can be expanded if necessary, will be dark red brick
with a bordering white stucco-like
"band." Glass doors will mark its single
entrance. Though no display windows
are planned, the facade will be
embellished by landscaping featuring
several types of trees and bushes.

ODe floor is more venatlle
FoUett expressed satisfaction with the
single-floor design and wishes his other
stores could have been built on one level.
-/The reason, be explained, is that a one
level plan allows for an easy adjusunent
of space to meet specific needs. For in·
stance, during the "rush" at the beginning of each semester, more floor area
can easily be devoted to texts. During
mid-semester off-times, space can be
allotted differently with priority going to
other items. Multi-story buildinl$ do not
provide this flexibility, be noted.
Tbe bookstore, which will border
Lake l...aSalle, will also oontain two
Jenera! offiCeS, a storaae area, a
customer service area (cbeclr.-cashing
and post offiCe) and a check-out section
that can accommodate up to 18
reaisten, tboqh four will likely be the
1101111. The partiaJ lot will bold 40 cars.
Providina fmal plaDs are approwd by
Albany alficials, Follett says be will
trawel•-..r.~Gfortbc~

in July , an event he eagerly await s and

plans to properly celebrate.
The corporate chairman credited the
Amherst Indu strial Developm e n t
Authority with making the busi ness venture " financiall y feasible ." If the
Authority had not agreed to issue industrial revenue bonds to finance construction, Follett contends there would
have been "no practical way" to build .
The Buffalo Industrial Development
Agency was not as accommodating . It
rejected earlier requests from Folleu 's
for financing.
OriginaUy, construction on Parcel B
was slated for the summer of '78, but
then the relatively stable and low 8.5 per
cent interest rate jumped . and continued
to climb. This turn o f events delayed
construction. Follett said, until ot her
financial arrangements could be made.
. No ODe will borrow al 20 per ceol
While Follett believes other investors
will eventually look favorably on Parcel
B as a business site, he was quick to note
there is "no way" any smart developers
wiU build if they have to borrow money
at the current 20 per cent prime lending
rate. With the revenue bonds, Follett
said his corporation is borrowing at just
over 13 per cent.
Follett ' s servi~ or lack of it was a
topic of discussion last month at a
meeting of the Faculty-Student Associa·
lion board of directors. FSA operated
the bookstores at the University before
Follett took over three years ago.
At the meeting-which culminated in
a vote to consitkr establishing a student
cooperative bookstore offering a "wide
range of cultural and educational books
and periodicals"-both students and a
faculty representative voiced strong
complaints about Follett operations on
campus. Physics Professor Jonathan
Reichert, SA President Joe Rifkin and
FSA Board President Gustavo Reynoso
charaed that Follett is not providing tbe
range of books necessary to satisfy or
~teo tbe inteJJectuaJ appetite of the
University community. Riflr.in called
Follett nothiDa more than a "textbook
supply store," while Rcichcrt· lamented
that more sp.ce and. priority is &amp;iven to
tbc ...... of sofbrme:(sacll as T-lloiru)

Reichert, who has worked to improve
bookstore operati ons for at least five
years, a lso complained that Follett provides no qualified personnel who can
assist or advise faculty and studenLS

Differing ideas
Six years ago, a special commi ttee of the

Faculty Senate studied the campus
bookstore operation and made strong
recommendations that FSA relinquish
contro l to a commercial firm and that
more space be devoted to trade books.

two years later, representatives of the
corporation reportedly were eager to

Unionism, regulation
among trends troubling
higher ed, Ketter says
Unionism and regulation produce
sameness and pose tlireats to institutional autonomy and to academic
freedom, President Robert L. Ketter
warned in his last graduation address as
head of UIB at General Commencement, May 17, at the Buffalo Convention Center.
As thousands received degrees and
looked to their futures, Ketter assessed
the recent past-the decade plus one
year that he has served as President.
"Many of you were not yet teenagers,"
when he took office, he reminded the
audience.
The student upheavals of the later 60s
and early 70s gave rise to unions and
regulators, Ketter submitted. " Faculty
were faced with t~e uncertainty of what
appeared to be a burgeoning, antiintellectual student movement that
sought power of its own. They saw
government, reacting in its Own way to
this movement, begin to exert or talk of
exerting a greater degree of regulatory
power. Even the administrators of local
institutions and state systems moved
toward centralization of power and
authority-a natural reaction in a time
of perceived emergency."
Whether unionism and regulation
would have grown as fast without impetus of the student movement is
debatable, Ketter ventured. At any rate,
though, there was no way government
would have failed to exert authorit y over
the large outlays being channeled to
higher education.
Otller treads
Declining rates of that fmancial support
combined with inflation, and a shift
from a seller's to a buyer's market for
students are other trends which marked
the 70s on American campuses, the
President noted .
"Real dollar funding . .. actually
decreased over the past ten years," he
recalled. "Some persons predicted in the
late 60s and early 70s that such a decline
would occur; however, they reasoned
that it would be a direct consequence of
the disruptions that had taken place on
campuses . I do not believe that this was
the case."
Early in the last decade, the President
recalled, a widespread public disenchantment with higher education
became evident. " Higher education had
allowed othen; to claim too much for it,
in terms of its utilitarian purposes. This,
coupled with the more fundamental influences of funding competing social
programs, thelncrease and growth of
these programs at a time of rising inflation, and the general conviction that
higher education was over-«tended, all
were contributing factors to the resulting
decrease in fmancial support."

Competltloa 010111 secton of ed...,.lloe
The impact of declining financial support has been uniquely accentuated in
New York, the President said . Competition between the public and private sectors of higher education has been
heightened . "That competition is
greater in this State because New York
brought up the rear in developing a
strong and vibrant State University
system ... .This tradition has resulted in
greater public tax support of private
higher education in this State than in any
other. Now that the financial pie is
shrinking (and in fact is subject to further division, since the State is assuming
responsibility for City University), the
rivalry between sectors and institutions
,~~ents.~~rpened to an even greater

Tbe effects

Med School reaccredited for 3 years

What effects have these trends had?
Unionism and regulation, Ketter said,

''establish common,

usually least,

denominators .... They heighten a
legalistic framework and give rise to
more rather than less management." He
has opposed both of these . trends
throughout the years "on intellectual
grounds." Yet from a political point of
view, he bas had to recogniu that they
do exist. "Working within this
framework ," he said, "has plaoed new
and immensely time-consuming
demands on the President; and the
demands will continue to exist regardless
of who occupies that position."
The decline in financial support has
been demoralizing, in Ketter's view.
"Our institutions were accustomed so
long to a favored status. This has
resulted in the introduction of a new
concept
in academic planning-negativism, the planning for contraction and decline. This has been a difficult concept to deal with politically. "
The tendency has been toward "Herculean efforts that produce very little in
the way of results"-short of an outand-out crisis, such as that being ex"perienoed-this·year in Michigan.

That rivalry for money, though , may
become seconda ry to the competition
between the sector s for student s, he

predicted .
Tbe unioos
While regulation from outside may
become more reasonable or less onerous
in the future, the President said, '"faculty and staff unions are another matter. "
He does "not see them disappearing
from the scene. I would hope that these
unions could rise above the economic
self-interests of their members and their
own . organizations and address a
number of the more basic problems and
issues facing tbeir institutions. That,
however, is not their primary reason fo r
existence, so they will continue to be an
impediment to the claim to academic
freedom. One can assert the protection
of that unique freedom with validity only when one is free of compelling selfinterests, which the union is not. Nevertheless, this is a situation that we will
have to live with, especially in an uncertain economic climate.' '
The greatest threat to higher education is tbe decline of the coUege-age
population, Ketter noted. Attempts to
attract new clientele "will not be sufficient to prevent the closure or consolidation of some institutions, both public
and private," be forecast.
"Our own institution is oot in jeopardy; in fact, we may well benefit from the
closing of institutions that do not have
our academic strength." But, said Ketter, this is no reason for complacency .
"The competition with other public institutions and with the private sector will
be very real; it will indeed require a great
deal of our attention. It will alse&gt; require
courage.

"The greatest danger in the competition

A

Dr. John Naughton, dean of the School
of Medicine at the University at Buffalo,
announced today that the School has
been fully accredited for a three-year
period by the LiaiSon Cj)Dllllittee on
Medical Education .(LCME) of the
Association of American Medical Colleges and American Medical Association.
In making the announcement,
Naughton explained that a five-member
LCME survey team visited the Medical
School in October, 1980, following
preparation of an extensive self-study
report by the School.
The survey team, which reported its
findings to the parent LCME, "confirmed many of the strengths and
weaknesses that we identified in our own
self-study," said Naughton.
Areas or streeatlt
In particular, the team cited academic
strength~ and potential streORths in the
departments of PhySiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Biophysical
Science, l''T&lt;Iiatrics, Gynecology and
ObStetiies;·'aild i'amilv ·Piactice. ' ·

for st udents is in an erosion of academic
standards. This is especially true for our
own institution, .. he said, •• for as a
university center our standards should
be second to none. Such standards
primarily are the responsibility of the
faculty, wbether for admission or retention," he explained. He expressed confidence in tbe UIB faculty 's moral
courage to stand fast on this front.
The future for higher education is not
as bleak as it might seem, Ketter said.
•'Throughout the years, we have been
confronted with the movement of ideas
and events that form force and counter-

force . We attempt to maintain th~ in
some precarious balance and to adjust
imbalances. We get the job done. We
teach; we develop knowledge; we serve
the public."

The team's report also noted with
satisfaction State approval of the construction program for a health sciences
center on the University's Main Street
Campus.
Additionally, the report identified as
strengths "highly supportive" hospital
administrators in the affiliated hospitals
that are used for teaching purposes and
pointed s~fically to a greater utilization of '"Veterans Administration
Hospital and the proximity of RosweU
Park Memorial Institute "as an ancillary
resource.''
Other strong points identified by the
LCME team included the variety of patients available to medical students,
community support for the School, the
establishment of a Faculty Council to
represent faculty opinion in the School 's
affairs, and the qualit y of administrative
leadership.
Coacerns
The LCME team expressed concern that
the School had not established a private
practice plan for faculty. It also called
for ·;mproved residency programs in

Ther&lt; are many reasons, he said, wby
U fB in particular can deal with the
future from a position of strength. "We
are the only comprehensive university in
Western New York and the largest and
most broadly based of the university
centers within State University. Our
academic programs rank with the best..
Our relations &gt;rith the community are
strong and we have a physical plant
whose completion is ftnally in sight. All
of tbese factors, however, are overshadowed by the fact that we have on
our campus an immense · number of
faculty and staff and students who care
deeply for this University and who are
willing to commit themselves to its further development. These individuals
form the real position of strength from
0
which we face the future."

Surgery, Anesthesiology, Dermatology,
and Ophthalmology.
While identifying crowded library
facilities and inadequate lecture and
laboratory facilities for the basic
sciences, the team noted that planned
construction would provide relief in
these areas, although it cautioned that
the LCME would monitor implementation of the plans .
The LCME team also called for further progress in establishing academic
program s at the VA Hospital ,
strengthening the School's clinical affiliation with the Erie County Medical
Center, and providing more ambula tory
care experience for medical students.
According to Naughton, the term of
accreditation is contingent upon the
School submitting a progress report to
the LCME in June, 1982, on steps taken
to address the team's concerns. The
three-year term of accreditation "'111 be
reconsidered at that time, said
Naughton, " and we probably will request that the term be extended for at
least another two years hefore a full
survey is conducted again."

Fifty per ce._t cuts threaten vitality
of Women's Studies unit, student avows
Editor:
As a student at SUNY Buffalo, I am
deeply concerned about the recent
developments threatening the future of
Women's Studies education on this campus.
1 have been a student at U/B for the
last four years. Two years ago I became
acquainted with Women:s Studies College (WSC) which provides the
backbone and substance of Women's
Studies education at this University. The
knowledge and experience that I have
gained ' through WSC courses and
through participation in its program
have proven to be the most relevant and
valuable education of'niy college career.
There are hundreds of women who have
benefi.tted fro)D the WSC program, as I
have, who are very worried about its
future.
WSC has just received yet another in a
series of disproportionate budget cuts
from the Collegiate System. This time
the budget of WSC has been cut almost
in half. (Only one other College took a
substaptial cut, that was International
College. Their budget was eliminated
completely!) For the 81-82 academic
year, WSC has been cut by $17,000,
leaving it with only one staff position
and several teaching lines.

Co'mes at a peculiar lime
This crippling cut to WSC comes at a
very peculiar time, as I see it. It comes
jUst weeks after the academic integrity
of the Women's Studies component of
American Studies and the Women's
Studies program as developed by WSC
has been affirmed by the Educational
Policy Committee (EPC) of Arts and
Letters' approval of Women's Studies'
B.A. proposal . Many years of work
have gone into the development of the
program and the B.A. proposal, and
WSC saw its acceptance by the EPC as a
victory for Women's Studies education
on this campus. 81-82 is to be a critical
year for WSC, as the program will be in
transition from its current elective status
to a degree-granting program. It is
crucial that the program be strong during this transitional year, if the ten years
of fine work that have made W.SC such a
valuable part of this University are to be
passed on &gt;o that the B.A. in Women's
Studies will serve students as well as the
College did. It is at this time tha~ Murray
Schwartz, dean of the Colleges, chooses
to deal WSC this crippling blow.
This budget cut has many serious implications other than the obvious one
that it is impossible to move towards
becoming a degree-granting program
with half of the budget that you were
barely surviving on as an elective program. This cut serves to totally redefine
the Women's Studies program that has
been developing over the past 10 years.

It will result in a 44'1e reducti!)n in curriculum for the 81-82 year, leaving only
the bare minimum of core courses intact. Also the cut, by fnaldng provisions
for just one staff position, has
eliminated the opportunity for students
and community women to gain experience and training in leadership and
administrative slcills in the program. It
must be added that the selection of this
one and only staff person ("Chief Executive" as the Dean has named it) has
been taken out of the q:~ntrol of WSC.
The Dean has determined what the
qualifications of this individual must be
(without consulting WSC) and he has
appointed a screening committee which
will choose the candidate.

Tbere's more
And, as if all of this were not enough,
Women's Studies College is faced with a
1/ 3 reduction in faculty for next year.
WSC has yet to receive a commitment
from the Univer&gt;ity to replace feminist
historian Ellen DuBois who will be on
sabbatical next year. Without this
replacement, it will not be possible for
the work of the Third World Component of WSC to be carried on. The Third
World Component is a vital part of
WSC which has been growing over the
last five years. It is an essential element
of WSC, and if the University has any
commitment to meeting the needs of
Third World Women, then it must act to

prevent its disappearance. It will not be
possible for only two faculty in
Women's Studies to maintain existing
Women's Studies activities and effectively launch the new B.A. program
(especially now that there will be only
one staff member) .
I urge the Administration to intervene
before more than ten years of outstanding work in Women's Studies is
destroyed. I am outraged to see that the
development of the B.A. in Women's
Studies is being used as a vehicle for
dismantling the very strengths of WSC
for which it has received its regional and
national reputation .
I urge aU concerned members of the
University community to attend a town·
meeting on this current situation and the
future of Women's Studies education on
this campus. The Town Meeting will be
held on Friday, June 12, from 7-8:30
p.m. in Haas Lounge, Squire Hall.
Please attend.
Only if the cuts to·WSC are restored,
the three faculty members maintained,
and WSC is given a significant role in
shaping its transitional year, will
students continue to receive a sound
education in Women's Studies and will
the program be able to maintain its iriiportant links with the community.

We could be vaporized in seconds
by atomic bombs-think about it!
Editor:
It would only require a few milliseconds
for an atomic weapon to vaporize the
Main Street and Amherst campuses.
While the probability of that event is
low, it seems to be increasing. Regrettably. a common response to this poten·
tial is to say that either "the problem is
too large" or "it can't happen. "
However. some individuals are not so
pessimistic or fatalistic. A prime example is Dr. Richard Garwin. He is a
physicist who helped design atomic
weapons and has been a member of the
top-secret Jason group. He is an IBM
Fellow-very well qualified to raise
criticisms about our country's defense
options.
1 suggest that you take a few moments
to read what he has to say. He is
·featured in the March 1981 Quest, pp.
17-20, 80-83 and in the May 15 , 1981
issue of Science, pp. 763-766. A quote
from the latter is illuminating: "The fact
is that the United States for several . ~ea~
has had more weapons than it coul~
effectively. Yet more warheads are being
built. NeW. rationales arise, according to
Garwin, to justify adding still more
targets to an overextended hit list."

There have been a number of other ar·
tides appearing in the scientific press attempting to shed light on this problem. I
encourage you to read them. The stakes
are very high. Two hundred appropriately aimed weapons could
destroy the bulk of the industrial capacity of the United States. Agricultural
capacity would be severely stunted. Yet
it is estimated that the United States has
20,()(X) nuclear weapons in its arsenal .
(Science 9 Jan. 81 p. 147) There is a
finite probability of an "accident"
associated with each weapon ... When
will one be misused??
After yo u have finished investing time
in this effort, you might take some time
for some after-dinner conversations with
friends, or write to your elected officials, or even become involved with
groups that advocate decreased reliance
on nuclear deterrence . I think it was
John Paul Jones who said that "the
price of freedom is eternal vigilance ." I
wish to maintain my freedom and 1 hope
you share that desi;re.

Coming up in the next few weeks in
Congress will be votes which will largely
determine the fate of the MX missile
system.
The MX missile system is an intrnensely expensive ($56 billion according to the
General Accounting Office) and large
(covering at least 20,000 square miles)
arrangement of 200 "racetracks," each
containing 23 missile silos. The basic
principle of the system is the secret shuttling of one MX missile among the 23
silos using sbell game logic to fool the
Soviets.
In addition to its cost and size, the
construction of the MX will severely
strain the local society and environment
while destroying much Native American
culture.
Most frightening, however, is the accuracy of the missile itself, permitting it
to be used in a nuclear war-initiating
frrst strike attack. Such a capability will
accelerate the arms race with the Soviet
Union while hindering arms control prospects . And, with the rapid development
of exotic devices like charged particle
beams and the electroQtagnelic pulse
weapon, the MX may well be obsolete
by its completion.
Please immediately write you r
Representatives (Lundine, Nowak,
Kemp, or LaFalce) at the U.S . House of
Representatives, Washington D.C.
20515 or call them through the Capital
switchboard at (202) 224-3121 , asking
them to support the Dellums Amendment to the FY 1982 Defense Authorization cutting aU monies ($2. 9 billion in
1982) for the MX . Ask them also to support the Simon Amendment to defer
funding for the land-based deployment
mode described above as alternatives
(such as the use of small submarines) do
exist .
It is doubtful whether the MX will improve national security . The destructive
force of a single MX missile is massive
with the 10 warheads per missile each
possessing an explosive force 27 to 38
times that of the bomb dropped on
Hiroshima murdering over 80,000
Japanese. Indeed, the coming decisions
on the MX may ultiinately affect the sur0
vival of the human race.

Communication
studies move from
words to moving images
By DOUG CARPENTER
What' s the good word?
Put that question to any of the U/ B
faculty involved in communication
research, and you'll probably find
yourself face to face with a challenging
return query like "who's saying it?" or
"in what kind of environment?" oc
perhaps even "by what medium is it being transmitted?"
To understand the process of human
communication, these questions and
others must be answered . U/ B researchers have taken up the task of studying
the variables that constitute the broad
spectrum of modern communication in
search of those answers. From process
to product, through the continuing
redefinition of image and content,
academicians involved in communication analysis and theory are developing
new understandings of how we exchange
information and achieve social and
cultural goals.
Que5tions of "how" we communicate
spring to mind first. Dr. Madeleine
Mathiot, professor of linguistics and
director of the Center for the Study of
Cultural Transmission, directs her
research primarily toward defining what
she terms "meaning attribution ." The
secret of beginning to understand how
we communicate, she asserts, lies not in .
what values analysts attribute to human
expression, but, quite logically, in what
people's words mean to themselves.
Videotapes and non-&lt;lirected
lnttnlewtag
Mathiot and the approximately I 5
students and faculty associated with the
center study "naturally occurring every-

day behavior" in hopes of mastering the
language of face-to-face interaction .
The ideal medium for studying the communication process, Mathiot ventures, is
videotape, which provides a complete
record of an aural event, allowing observation to extend "beyond language to
environment and to non-langua"ge types
of communication. ••
Center studies have uncovered a com.plex pattern of cultures, sub-cultures
and lifestyles, each employing different
"folk labels" which are used to identify
a variety of "native catqories of information." Using what she calls "tbe selfdisclosure technique for ethnographic
elicitation," Matbiot and her team rely
upon a resourceful, non-ditective form
of interviewing to gather research data.
It is, she allows, not tbe easiest approach, but spontaneously-volunteered
information, she stresses, is superior to
specifically solicited answers when it
comes to formulating theories on how
the process of human communication
works.
Since its inception seven years ago, the
Center for the Study of Cultural
Transmission has followed a bravdy interdisciplinary course. Embracing
dements of Linguistics, Anthropology,
Communication, Psycho logy, Communicative Disorders, Nursing,
Sociol"')', Instruction and the Social
and Biological Sciences, the center has
attracted some ~ graduate students aod
fellows over tbe years.
or particular interest are studies
Matbiot has conducted on tbe attributed
meaning of color, taste, food, health
and kinship terminology. Subjects
responding ·to test colOrs, for example,
demonstrated a fascinating penchant for
mixing modes of expression and sensation, registering observations of "loud"
colors, "bot" colors and colors that left
a bad "taste'' in their mouths. This,
Mathiot observes, illustrates the nature
of language not only as a product of the
intellect but also as ·a human
characteristic with a "physiological
underpinning" that renders it susceptible to the forces and conditions that affect us bodily. She concludes that the en-

to offer. Th_;u involves breaking down

traditionaJ barriers," a task she likens in
co mplexit y

to

mak i ng

one se l f

understood in the highly susceptible process we ca ll communication .
Your neighborhood semiotician may

help
If language carried a label listing its contents, you'd probably have to look up
your neighborhood semiotician for an

interpretation of the ingredients. Our
language, as well as the tangible products of our efforts to communicate',
such as art, literature and architecture ,
all coruain a labyrinthine blend of signs
and symbolism.
U/ B's Graduate Group in Semiotics is
a collection of those who seek to under·
stand how elements of our language interact to produce meaning . Under the
directorship of Dr. Paul L. Garvin, professor of linguistics, universit y semioticians study the role of objects and symbolic representati ons in transmitting in-

formation .
The discipline of semiotics. itself a
specialization

within

tjle

field

of

linguistics, embraces a number of
distinct areas of concentrated st udy.
Research

in to

literar y,

vis ual ,

philosophical and behavioral semiotics
yields data which aid in defining the im·
pact of a wide range of elements on the
process of communication . Physical
characteristics combine wirh the more
abstract , aesthetic aspects of a message's
.content to generate meaning. Man
depends so heavi ly upon this chemistry
to communicate, Garvin projects,
because man is ''a symbolizing animal, ••
an ability which distinguishes him from
lesser creatures . "Naturally, " he adds,
"if you're going to be philosophic about
it, one must malce the effort to understand all the meaning-mongering people
engage in in their effort to communicate.
uwe share with all creatures such
things as kidney stones and taste buds,"
Garvin offers, "but when it comes to
matters of symbolization and meaning,
man really has a very unique status."
He suggests as an example of constructively applied semiotics the observation of a colleague, Syracuse University's Joseph Pia, who noted that one very
public manifestation of the sign process,
highway direction signs, simply does not
meet the needs of most of the people it's
meant to serve.
Hi&amp;llway slJas and ad - •

vironment in which we communiCate, be
it noisy, hot, colorful or .crowded, will
play a very affecting role in tb9,pmoess

of information exchange.
Mathiot's hopes for the future of the
center and its studies are tied not to ever.
increasing size but to qualit y. "We
would like to be thought of as a
resource," she re flec ts, "to be of interest to those who can use what we have

.

"When you use the New York State
Thruway to go from one part of Buffalo
to another," Garvin assesses, "you will
never fmd your way by the way the
highways are marked." This represents
a failure of planners to understand the
relati9nship between "signalization"
and the needs of people, he notes.
"In this case," he comments,
"they've obviously overlooked the fact
that a lot more people use the
Youngmann Highway, the mainline
Thruway and the others to get around
the city than to get out of it."
Garvin sees some humor in the failings of systems to satisfy the explicit
needs of people. "Obviously there are
far fewer applied sernioticians than there
ought to be, judging from the
uselessness of most road signs." He
does, however. suggest that there is one
field overflowing with applied sernioticians who "probably don't even know
that's what they are." Commercial
advertising produces some fine examples
of communication crafted with a keen
eye toward the effect of size, color,
shape, pl!tcement aod .tcx!Ufe, he says.

manipulation of these elements they may
be, srilJ stand apan from the semioticians, Garvi n warns. explaining that
advertisers will ass ume their message
gets through. while pure semioticians
will ask "-how·· and, more importantly,
"why?"
Garvin and his group look to a promising future for their specialization .
Acknowledging quest ions about the
possibility that semiotics may be "just
another academic fad,'' Garvin answers
detractors by quoting Czech linguist Jan
Mukarovsky, who observes that "we
live in a period with tremendous emphasis on signs: social, economic and
political organizations have developed in
the last decade to such a degree of complexity that the only way to control them
is by means of signs standing in lieu of
realities ."
Co•promisinc lituatloas
If Mathiot is seeking answers to the riddle of communication in tbe privacy of
the one-to-one relationship, and Garvin
is pursing illumination through the study
of elemental symbols in a cluttered
semiotic enviro~t . we must tum to
Professor James G. Pappas for insight
into how mass communication, unchecked in its effects on the way we
think and live, can place society in some
pretty compromising situatiom.
Pappas is a man of diverse professional interests. He serves as both chairman of U/ B's Department of 'Black
Studies and master of Black Mountain
College II.
Pappas fashions himself a " practitioner rather than a theorisl'' and draws
a distinction between research 'aed the
"empirical observation.. to which he
devotes so much of his professional
energies.
Over the past six years, Pappas has
conducted an extensive examination of
the effects of image in cinema, focusing
on tbe depiction of black social roles. He
has employed an ingenious form of
cultural cross-refereocing by studying
and evaluating the attitudes and
responses of two different test audiences
to films from the early age of cinema
and films which depict so-called contemporary blacks in society.
The' audiences have been drawn from
the 400 to 500 students wbo have tal&lt;en

Pappas' film course here since he: began
gat hering data in 1975. His goal has
been to gauge the reactions of these
students, who have ranged in age from
those who were young when the o ld
movies were new to the youthful audiences of today, to both old form black
ci nematic imagery and new .
What, for example, Pappas wonders,
does a black man who saw D.W . Griffith's 1915 epic Birth of" Nation think
of actor Ron O'Neal's characterization
of the street-smart Superfly? Conversely, does today's 19-year-Old urban black
find what Pappas describes as the "implied racism" of the Griffith film
Jaughable .. .or culturally offensive?
The lroa &amp;riP of telovisioa
Pappas says his studies canno.t be limited
to film, in the face of the stark reality of
television's iron grip on tbe American
consciousness. Reflecting on what appears on both the large and small screen,
Pappas finds a question which must be
asked again and again. Does the medium
reflect society or does it, in fact, shape
society in its im..age?
" If whites see blacks only within a
certain range of stereotypica.J images.''
Pappas asks, "what will be their expectations of tbe behavioral process that
will transpire when they meet a blaclr. for
the first time?" He warns that the visual
media, potent in their power to plant tbe
seeds of miseducation, operate on both
the level of fantasy aod reality. Given
the kind of exposure television and film
provided for tbe black militancy movement of the late 60's and early 70's, Pappas wonders if we may not have enhanced a national tnuma through media
overkill.
Pappas holds up the history of cinema
and television as evidence of unequaJ opport unity. "There are no bhick
Supermen, no black Captain Marvels,
no black Lone Rangers," he notes .
"Blacks have not had the benefit of fan tasizing on these mythical hero types and
consequently have had to relate to real,
live leaders, who have been expected to
=ch the heights of these fantasy
heroes, and have fallen short . That may
be why there's a black leadership crisis
today." In this way, Pappas concludes,
the media may have had a hand in affectina the prosress· of an entire culture: O

�Instead of a master's thesis,
_ some graduate students
write poetry or maybe a novel

Creative writing
program grooms
tomorrow's authors
By. ANN WHITCHER

Kathy McGoldrick's poetry is an exercise in spinetingling attention. To hear it is to have your expectations thrashed 'about by her startling and violent imagery.
One of four students in the English Department's
Graduate Program in Creative Writing interviewed
by tlie Report~r, Kathy, 29, bas been writing since
age 13. But only recently has she been "really
serious '~ about it. A full-time student and teaching
assistant, Kathy, who graduated with a B.A . in
English in 1976, feels the program has helped her a
lot.
"I've enjoyed it," says this Buffalo-native who
lives in rural Cattaraugus County, spending three
days a week at her parents' Buffalo home. "It's given
me a chance to see the different perspectives that different poets have." Still, she's glad she didn't enter
the program at a younger age.
"There's a fme line between taking what you need
and being overly impressed by . another person."
Supervised in her "master's. project" (a required
amoWJt of writing in lieu of a master's thesis) by
poets Irving Feldman and Aaron Rosen, Kathy says
most of ber teachers were "vel)' supportive," able to
UDderstand what sbe was trying to do. Sbe dislikes
"tunnel vision, " i.e., teachers who "only see in
terms of what they're doing."
Kathy has been writing poetry about the saints.
She jilst fmisbed an "independent study" with Diane
Christian, UIB English professor whose specialties
include the bible as liierature. The time was spent
"neading the fives pf the saintS."
_Wlii1e the compla.ity of 'the saints (their nobility
and frequent self-(lqellation) has long interested
her, Kathy isn't sure ber own reliaious baCkground
played a _part in this theUiatic choice. Her mother was
a member of the --Greek Orthodox Polish National
Cburch; she recalls that nei&amp;hborhood church
members tried to convert ber mother to Roman
CathOlicism. Her fatbei, she adds, speilt two years in
the seminary• .Kathy bendf
to public school
and for a time, took reliaious instruCtion ff901 the
Feliciail nuns, not always a felicitous experience for

went

her. -

, .Kathy, who worked as a-sui!stitute- teacher and

recreation c_ounselor at Alleghany State Park after
undergraduate school, says the graduate writing program has made her "more confident as a poet.,. She
comes "from a work.ing&lt;lass background, " and this
made it difficult, at first , to accept her literary
talents. Even co Uege was somewhat accidental. While
woriting as a typist for a local aeronautical fmn,
Kathy started talting night courses. "I never intended
to fmish." Before long, however, she was working
and going to school full-time.
Kathy' s influences are not easily recounted. But,
they include "Yeats, obviously." She also admires
many of the "conoepts of the major women poets:
the religious/personal blend of Anne Sexton, along
with works of Denise Levertov and Diane DiPrima.
Kathy's master's project is a 46-page collection of
poetry; she received her M .A. in May. Future plans
call for submitting poems to national magazines,

research and a return next January for work on a
Ph.D. in modem poetry. Her work bas been published in the Bliffalo Evening News' "Poetry Page,"
Bliff and Esazrpments (both journals associated with
the U/B English Department), and in other U.S. college and -university publications.

Poet wlllo plaJs oqusll
Marc Reinhardt lays it on the line. "There aren't
many people I admire," be says. There are exceptions. This recipient of a top-notch education at
Nichols School and the prestigious Williams College
in Massachusetts, does express admiralil!b for Irving
Feldman. In fact, Marc, who spent "three or four
months" at the University of Southern California,
came to U/B largely-because of Feldman, whom be
met playing squash.
Marc's artistic vision doesn't extend to fiction. "I
don't read it. Fiction tries to do too much " · in his
view. But history and "poetry grab him. He ~eads "a
lot of 20th century history. I never can get enough of
it." Some of his poems have historical themes, such
as General Von Paulus and his German Sixth Army
under sieae in Stalingrad during World War n.
. Marc's work also reflects his German roots. Many
of his German-spealrina relatives '"are stijl around, ..
and his poetry li'equently portrays "half-aeated,
ba[f,!'CCOilected'!... family members. ,O ne poem,

"About Grandpa When I was Five, " is simple and
disarming: "At Easter/ You laid your hands/ On the
top/ Of my head ./1 thought / You were trying/To
keep me/ From growing ."
His poetry is chiseled, abstract, occasionally difficult. Some poems have a scientific linearity, ·
perhaps due to his scientific background at Williams,
where he started out in physics, later switching to
English . Says Marc of the change: "I bad to reorganize my entire thinking." Marc now lives on
Buffalo's West Side; some of his poems include "The
Razing of Saint Joe's Cathedral" and "Black Rock
Ballplayers. " There are musical allusions, too, in his
work, including Mahler, Wagner's Parsifal and
Ralph Vaughan Williams. Rather than mere splashes
of erudition, they're unforced touches woven impressively into the poetry.
Marc's work has been published in the News, Blif/
and in small journals "associated with Williams College and the Berkshire region" of Massachusetts. He
admires the critical work of U/ B teacher Tom Connolly, "just a wonderful person," and the "kind"
motivating of Nichols teacher William Morris. He
has been influenced by Dylan Thomas and Theodore
Roethke, though the latter "can be a little flat," in
Marc's opinion.
As for future plans, Marc, who enjoys teaching,
will look for a teaching job in the Buffalo area; eventually, he'll go back for a Ph.D. In the meantime,
Marc is busy. He manages a downtown sporting
goods store, and is "involved in a commercial art
enterprise that sells art reproductions." He also continues to play in northeastern U.S. amateur squash
tournaments.
Old-fasbloaed and elqlerimeatal
Dennis Cullinan, 30, is new to the program this year.
A charming blend of wit and insouciance, be's done a
lot since leaving Cardinal O ' Hara High School in
1968. Unlike Marc, Dennis does not give much credit
to high school teachers for his literary flowering .
After four years in the Navy, bartending in the tiny
European country of Andorra, time in Spain, and
four years in Hoiland (including two years at
Katoliek University in Tenymegen), Dermis came
back to Buffalo, where a writing workshop With
U/B's David Bazelon persuad_e d him to return to
school. It was back and forth, he says, between hitting the books (as a pre-med major), and working at
various jobs . Eventually he switcbed majors,
graduating last spring with a B.A. in English. After
submitting "two short pieces of prose," be was acoepted into the writing program here.
Dennis is a "fiction writer." who "has always had
an interest in writing and literature." Paradoxically,
he admits, he really "hasn't written that much until
now. No matter, be's serious about it. And be's
"working like bell" to realize his talents. Currently,
Dermis is studying with "surfiction" writer Raymond.Federman. While be admires the techniques of
the avant-prde, Dennis prefers a blend of experimental techniques with a somewhat oldfashioned fiCtional universe. If be can let his reader
have some of that ol' "willing suspension of disbelief
for the moment," well, fme. Many avant-garde
writers, especially the "new novelists," contend that
fiction is inberently ·false; its reaches for "realism"
or consisle!ICY within a fictional narrative, are phony
to start with. But Dermis prefers a sytithesis, noting
that his favorite literary artist is the Colombian
writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. "He's more of a
mqician than a technician," says Dermis.

Story," published recently in Briff, starts out simply
enough : A writer clumsily drops his manuscnpt on a
Buffalo 18 Metro Bus, only to be transported
through a forced parachute dive, a tropical maze, CJ_Jcounters with a literate interrogator, a near volcaruc
lava bath, and lovemaking with someone named
"Fayaway." After more travail, it's back to good old
Buffalo. Despite the reader's entry into a fictional
world, a number of avant-garde techniques are used.
For one thing, Dennis, as author, is called on the
carpet a few times.
Dennis wbo works weekends at Erie Med Center,
will pro~bly complete a novel as his master's J)toject. Eventual plans Include a Ph.D. and teaching,
"the American way," in the words of this IrishAmerican from Buffalo who speaks fluent Dutch.

HawJ-co-!KkJ lalbr
BeD 'Borteck, just turned 2S, is happy-so-lucky; by
his own defmition, he's a "talker." Though be's now
concentrating on fiction, be has been writing poetry
since junior-high school days. A native of
Philadelphia, Ben earned his B.A. in English at Montreal's McGill University a few years ago.
After college, he took some writing workshops at
the University of Pennsylvania. While traveling in
Europe last year, be learned that he and his girlfriend
had been acoepted at UIB - she in the Biopsychology Ph.D. program. "That clinched it," he
says.
Ben is enjoying the workshops which accompany
literature courses required of all English grad
students. Somewhat of a workshop veteran, he admits that teachers' instructions are sometimes ignored. "You have to write what you have to write,"
he contends. "Finally, you're your own best critic."
Whatever their drawbacks, workshops give him
technical assistance and force a certain discipline.
"I'm not a very disciplined person ," he says. Also,
the "editing" done by students and teachers is
helpful . While Ben believes that "no great writer ever
came out of a workshop," the sessions may put a
young writer in touch with someone who can help
him. He notes that Ray Federman, for instance, "is a
great reader" of others' works.
Ben is basically here to "find out" if he "has the
talent." He's ""always wanted to write ." But it
"wouldn't kill" him to give it up. Ben doesn't hold
to stereotypes of suffering artists. He believes that
some mentally ill people coincidentally have the
desire - and talent - to express themselves. But m stability, or urthappiness, is not a prerequisite, in his
view. He'd give it up in a flash if "it started to make
me Wlbappy."
Ben's fairly realistic view of himself extends to his
malcing it as a creative writer: "I think it's pretty
naive to think you can make a living creatively."
Given this reality, Ben, whose " favorite" is Joseph
Conrad, followed by Wallace Stevens, would prefer
to "write what I'm best at writing." For this reason
he'd rather seek,a career in " something he could enjoy" like computers. Not for him are journalism or
technical writing.
Ben bas tired of recent part-time gigs as store clerk ,
pool repairman and bill collector. He plans to go to
U/B pan-time next semester, while working full-time
in a chosen field.
Whatever his doubts about the future , Ben is
basically confident. "!like my stuff," he says simply.
"I'd read it on Johnny Carson if they asked me."

PSS issues· statement on managing change
A position statement on the Management of Change at the University revolving around six major issues was passed
by the Professional Staff Senate last
week and forwarded to President Robert
L. Ketter.
PSS Chairperson Anastasia Johnson
in a letter of transmittal to Ketter said
she hopes the President will "understand" the statement as PSS members
do, as "a charge for our future planning
and for the future ."
The statement, said Johnson, "is the
product of the work of professional
staff whose concerns arose from their
own experience and commitment to the
quality of our universi ty and to each
other. We would like to share it with
Chancellor Wharton," noted Johnson.
She asked Ketter to forward the state·
ment to Wharton .
The final version of the statement ,
John son explai ned , emerged fro m
di scussions with Senators, members of
the professional staff, officers of the
Faculty Senate, man y of the vice
president s o f the unjversity, the director
of affirmative actio n, and a presidentia l
assistant. Although wording was rev ised
during various reviews, Johnson said the
basic ideas remain the same: " (I) o ur
co ncern with the universit y's ·mission ,
(2) the need for a universit y plan which
plans for the future of support functions , as weU as for academic function s
in terms of the enhancement, and
facilitation of teaching, research, learning, administra tion, student life, and
community service; (3) the challenge for
keeping the integrity and enhancing the
quality of the university; (4) the importance of human resources to this enterprise we know as SUNY Buffalo and the
planning for the development of those
resources; (5) the need for facilitating
administrative processes , perhaps
through the establishment of an office
of 'administrative ombudsman;' and (6)
the development of an esprit de corps
among the members of the University
Community."
The text of the statement follows :

terns and reduction of OTPS funds,
leading to the deterioration of quality
and integrity of academic programs and
support services. Members of the Professional Staff Senate saw a need for a
plan which would protect the integrity of
the university as a whole, and the quality
of academic prograrru and service areas.
What is more, they believed that the
method of formulating a plan would a ffect the caliber and condition of the
university as much as the final plan
itself.
In response to these members' concerns, the Pro fessional Staff Senate Executive Committee established a Committee on the Management o f Change
(see Appendix A) whose charge was :
"To form ul ate issues. guidelines, and
recommendations that will become · a
basis for the Professional Staff Senate
positio n on the h um ane, creative. and
rational management of cttange, and the
preservation of this univers ity ' s
qua lity ."
The Committee formed three
subgroups focusig,g respectively On
academic, st udent affairs, and admini st rat ive se rvi ces iss ues. After
months of study and discussio n, the
subgroups con tributed their ideas to the
whole committee which produced a final
report for the Executive Committee in
November, 1980.
The report was used as a working
document by a Professional Staff Senate
policy subcommittee (see Appendix B)
which held discussions with university
admini s trators , prin cipally vicepresi dents, in order to ascertain the
general institutional planning and to explore ways in which professional staff
could best facilitate such planning . In
the tight of these discussions, the
original committee report was refined
into a statement which was reviewed and
revised by" the Professional Staff Senate
Executive Committee and the full Professional Staff Senate before taking this,
its final form as the Professional Staff
Senate Position Statement on the
Management of Change.

Rtteomm~ndDtiOn:

The planning pro-

cess should lead to the development of a
university plan allowing for review and
modification. Planning shO\lld be ongoing. The Professional Staff Senate and
other representative bodies must be part
of the consultative and review processes.
Problem 4: Need to Develop and Enrich
Human Resources
The university must shoW more concern
for preparing its employees, both faculty
and staff, to deal with the changes and
adjustments which occur as a result of
university planning and changing conditions of the '80's. Continuous development and enrichment of the human
resources available to the University are
essential, because they bear directl y on
the quality of inst ru~tion, administration, and service at this uni versity, and
the overall vital it y Of the institution.

Recommendation: An accessible and
effective system of apprenticeships,'
traineeships, internshi p s, a nd
developmental seminar aod workshops
would enhance flexibility, professional
growth, and the val ue of the employee to
the university. This system of programs
should be developed jointly by the Personnel Department an d the Affirmative
Action Office, with the assistance of the
Professional Staff and the Faculty
Senates, administrators , and other
university facult y and staff. These programs would provide conti nuing education to employees, and increase the
number of qualified individuals who
would be considered for reassignment
and advancement within the university .
In-house searches in accordance with af.
firmative action guidelines should then
be intensified.
In addition , we propose that the
universit y · administration anticipate
changing situations and direct the Personnel Department, in consultation with
the Affirmative Action Office, the Professional Staff and Faculty Senates to
actively assist in the reassignment of
employees wbo will be forced into a
change.

5. Establishing a Resource Center,

about university issues, programs and

6 . Establishing a standing committee
to explore ways of improving the university and the functioning of the professional staff.
7. Identifying specialists among the
professional staff who can assist and
consult in the management of change .
(see Problem 8)
Problem 6: The En cunrbertd
Bureaucnacy .
Many employees and st udents believe
that the universi ty is unnecessarily encumbered by bureaucratic procedures
imposed locally and by Albany. The
bureaucracy, a necessary vehicle of admirlisttative operation, appears to be inefficiently organized and unnecessarily
complicated. At times, it is an impediment to achieving quality, and
unresponsive to the needs of faculty ,
staff and students .

Recommendation: The bureaucracy
must be made to be more responsive in
order to meet the needs o f the university
community effectively. An attempt must
he made to provide for more local
autonomy in decision making and to
eli minate red tape. There should be an
ongoing evaluation of our own administrative processes to attempt to improve them.
We recommend that the President
assign the ongoing task of improving
communication and eliminating red tape
to an " administrative ombudsman"
who would report directly to the president. The assignment should include an
exploration of the existing avenues of
commnnication which link the UniveBity offioes internally and with Albany in
order to facilitate problem solvin&amp; and
fmd more effective means of communication.
Problem 7: Unprodactlvo l•tt.-..1
Doqollcalio•
Unproductive internal duplication of activities and resouroes is a problem which
bas not received enough university-wide
attention .
R~comm~ndation : Avoiding unproducttve duplication should be a constant consideration in both the planning
process and in routine operations. For
example, prior to any new or replacemeqt hiring, each vice president should
review present resources. It may be
possible to use the talent already
available to the university to develop
new curricular programs, research activities, or service programs. The sharing
of equipment, personnel, and laboratory
facilities need not necessarily impair the
related functions and may enhance
them. It could lead to the sharing and
generation of ideas and to cooperative
activities, while freeing resources for
other areas in need of support.
Problem 1: Tilt ._ple_taU011 of

Cllu&amp;e

Implementing change involves complex,
human processes. Change will occur
more readily and with less stress if people are helped to understand the impact
of c~es as they relate to their pro-

grams,

a~tudes,

interests, and values,

and are assisted in planning for such
changes.
Recommendation: We encourage the
· administration to identify SUNYAB
specialists from the staff and faculty
who can assist and consult in the
management of change resulting from
the planning effort. When their services
are utilized they should be recognized
for these servioes in a meaningful way.
S•mmary of Cballtnces
The immediate challenge for the Professional Staff Senate is to serve as a
catalyst for the cr~tive, humane, and
rational management of change by finding new ways of cultivating the university's potential for growth and excellence .

Dr. Rahn receives·
Chancellor ~orton medal;
Father Fisher honored
"His work, in sum, has helped launch
man into space and plunge him to ocean
depths never before explored. His pure
research-and this is the ultimate purpose of so much that is done in universities-has expanded the frontiers of our
existence. ••
President Robert L. Ketter paid that
tribute to Dr. Hermann Rahn,
distinguished professor of physiology
here, on presenting Rahn with the 1981
Chancellor Charles P. Norton
Medal-U / B's highest honor. The
award was made during the 13Sth
General Commencement at the Buffalo
Convention Center, May 17.
The ChanceUor's Medal has been
awarded since 1925 in recognition of an
''achievement .. . which is ... great and ennobling."
Aplolleel'
Rahn, said Ketter, "has been a pioneer
in the study of man and animals in rela·
Lion to different environments. He has
contn'buted basic knowledge to our
understanding of the · conditions
necessary for human survival at dif·
ferent altitudes and depths and in other
extreme environments. He has established the fundamentals of pulmonary func·
lion testing; .and in doing so, he has been
a leader in the development of highly ingenious measuring devices to serve this
purpose.
"As a field scientist, he has displayed
enormous energy. He has been equaUy
at home on the side of a mountain in
Colorado testing respiration, or in a
bobbing boat investigating physiologic
stress on divers in Korea, or sitting
quietly and patiently to develop an
undentanding of the ways in which
avian eggs support embryos within."

A....,...,.
lust as important, however, the Presi·
dent went on, has been Rahn 's teaching.
"Although he could have justified
lighter instructiooal duties" because of
his rescarcb ant;! service as chairman of
the Department of Physiology, "he
never did."
Rabn's coUeagues, said Ketter, "point
to his willingness to devote so much in·
dividual altention to st udent development and his exploration of new
teaching techniques . As a result, he has
contributed to the training of a great
nutnber of scientists who now · occupy
important positions in this country and
abroad ."
A nllying point
In some of "our most trying times as an
institution," the President continued,
Rahn "has served as a raUying point for
faculty sharing his commitment to l!lhli·
ty and to the freedom to investigate
whatever is- unknown. He has held fast
to principle while others have
substituted emotion for reason and
slogans for thought."
Hir, ,".c&amp;!:OCI'· -and . lif~ have helped

breathe life into the idea of a 'complete
university.' " the President concluded .
A member of the faculty here since
1956, Rahn, 68, received his A.B. from
Cornell and his Ph .D. from the Univer·
si ty of Rochester, where he also spent IS
years on facult y.
He holds honorary degrees from
Yonsei University in Korea and the
University of Paris.
Eavlronmeatal Pbyslology Lab
A member of the National Academy of
Sciences and the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences , Rahn continues his
research into the physiologic behavior of
the heart and lungs, particularly under
stress conditions, in the University's
futuristic Environmental Ph ysiology
Lab, a facility which came into existence
during his tenure as chairman of the
department.
The Lab's high pressure chamber ,
which 't hrough his efforts was
reconstructed to provide the highest
capacity in the world, is capable of
simulating the underwater pressures of
170 atmospheres, the pressure en·
countered one mile beneath the sea.
Duri~ Rahn 's era as chairman of
-Physiology, its national academic ranking by the American Council on Educa·
\i~;l rose from 20th in 1964 to ~venth in
Other boaorees
Also at General Commencement, ·or.

George L. Collins, Jr., a Buffalo physician and member of the State Universit y
Board of Trustees, conferred one of
SUNY •s first honorary degrees - the
Honorary Doctor of Science Degree on Dr. David Har'er, emeritus pro·
fessor of biophysics and former head of
Biophysics at RosweU Park Memorial
Institute.
Ketter also cited this year's winner of
one of the first SUNY Distinguished
Citizen Awards, William C . Baird, a
Buffalo businessman and weU known
0
civicleader.
Father Edward T. Fisher, the versatile
director of the Amherst Campus
Newman Center, received the second annual "President's Award" from Presi·
dent Robert L. Ketter at the 1981 Com·
mencement Luncbeon, May 17.
The award, instituted last year, goes
to a member of the University community "who exemplifies standards of devotion and sCrvice to the institution that
far exceed the ordinary, and who, by
personal example, challenges others to
rise to exceUence."
Father Fisher, said Ketter, is "a person who has made himself highly visible,
easily approachable, and always
available and willing to assist in any time
of need," whether the person in need is a
student or some other campus-related
individual.
"We have all seen him," said Ketter,

"riding his Honda SSO , water skiing,
snow skiing, icc skating, or competing
on a tennis court or baseball field. His
taJents attract and sometimes startle
many who otherwise would not know
him ."
Thoroughly immersed in the life of
the University, Father Fisher, Ketter
contin ued, seems " to establish an instant rapport with whomever he comes in
contact. As a priest, counselor, and
teacher, he conveys a human compassion that is not limited by the boundaries
of dogma. His moti vation is
singular-to be helpful .
" The Padre, as he is known affec·
tionately, has distinguished himself in
ma.{ly ways . He has twice served as convenor of the Council of Campus

Ministries and teaches in the Religious
Studies Program . He has been appointed vicar for Catholic Ministries for
Western New Yprk and elected to the
National Committee of the United
States Catholic Conference on Campus
Ministry. He also represents the University to the larger community through his
membership in various organizations,
such as the Board of Directors of the
Buffalo Skating Club."
A tireless worker, he " comforts the
sick; gives hope to the grieving; counsels
the young; encourages the beleaguered;
and bridges the generation gap."
Ketter said he was ' •proud to
recognize the man who has become a
campus minister for aU of us."

�Nuclear threat, foreign policy worry speakers
Med grads told
time running out
for our planet
Dr. Helen Caldicott had a chilling
message for Medical School graduates:
"It's four minutes to midnight on the
nuclear clock." If and when the hour
tolls, she reported , human civilization as
we know it will be wiped out within 30
minutes.
Within th~ee months, 90 per cent of
the U.S. population will be dead. Those
who survive will en vy them .
What does it matter whether you keep
your patients alive? she asked the newlycertified physicians . Why keep them
ali ve if they are going to be obliterated in
just a matter of time?
Nuclear war is the ultimate medical
problem, she proposed . Stopping it is
the ultimate form of preventive
medicine. "Nothing else reall y matters.

"We are at a crossroads of time. We
physicians must act to save the human
race.
"Unlike Alexander Haig and others
who feel a nuclear war can be won, I
believe there will be no 'win ners,' " she
said.
Caldicott, author of the popular
Nuclear Madness, gave up medical practice two years ago to devote full-time to
informing the public of the hazards of
nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
This spring, she's bringing that message
to commencements at Stanford and
George Washington University medical
schools in addition to U / B.
Her audience at Kleinhans Music
Hall, Sunday, May 17, was hushed,
breaking into sustained applause only
after her final plea for international
sanity.
Actil'e lobbylac MCeSSa~Y
Nuclear war is inevitable unless people
acquaint themselves with its awesome
horrors and lobby actively to prevent it,
sbe exhorted.
President of the 4500-mernber non profit Physicians for Social Responsibility and an internation~ly-known
anti-nuclear activist, Caldicotl emphasized that people in America and
elsewhere must get involved now.
During the 1960s, Caldicott recalled,
America bad 400 · one-mepton bombs
(each equivalent to )01&gt;-tons of TN'I).
Robut McNamara, then secretary of
defense, pronounced the supply
"enough"-"enOUJh" to kiD 1/3 of the

Ru ss ian population; "enough " ro
destroy 2/ 3 of their industry .
Today, she said, the U.S. has bet ween
30,000 and 35,000 hydrogen bo mbs. sufficient to "overkill" (the Pentagon's
term) every Russian 40 times. One Trident submarine alone --carries enough
weapons to destroy every major city in
the Nonhem Hemisphere. And we are
building II of them.
The USSR has 20,000 hydrogen
bombs (larger but less accurate than the
U.S. variety, she explained)-a supply
large enough to " overkill " every
American 20 times .
BiUions for bombs as children starve
Together , the superpowers have enough
destructive force to kill every person on
earth 12 times. And some 30 other nations now have "so&lt;alled peaceful reactors" for power purposes-reactors
which a s a b y-product generate
plutonium , the fuel used in nuclear
weapons . Pakistan , India , Taiwan,
Chile, Brazil , Argentina, South Africa,
Israel-all have the bomb or soon will !
The world spends S600 billion a year
(a million dollars a minute) for arms ,
Caldicott said; but two-thirds of its
children are malnourished and starving.
The cost of one-third of one Trident
submarine would be sufficient to
eradicate maJaria from the face of the
earth .
When tbe bomb drops
Were a nuclear bomb to be dropped on
Buffalo, Caldicott said, everything and
everybody, every blade of grass, within
six miles of the tMget center would be incinerated . Thousands would be sucked
out of buildings by the blast; others,
decapitated by flying glass . If you even
glanced at the explosion from as far as
40 miles away, you'd be blinded . Horrendous frrestorms would result over a
radius as large as 3000-square miles .
People in fall-out shelters would be litterally "cooked" or asphyxiated within
that radius . If they survived the heat,
they couldn't emerge from underground
for 36 weeks .
Every U.S. ciry of more than 25 ,000
people is IMgeted, Caldicott said, as is
each of the nation's 72 nuclear power
reactors. Just one of those reactors (if
hit by a !tomb) could contaminate an
area the size of West Gertnany.
The survivors? Tbose in out-of-theway areas might live through it. But
most hospitals and most medical personnet would bave been destroyed.
Millions of putri!ying corpses would
contaminate everytbina. Orpnisms now
under COI!trol would . be rendered

blas ted in th e ionosphere wou ld let in

cancer and blinding people . Starvation,
radiation, blindness , infection, greed :
that would be the lot of living .
'Psychic numbness '
Yet, said Caldicott, we 've developed a
"psychic numbness" which allows u.s to
push the danger to the back of our consciousness. We divert ourselves with
trivial concerns . Animals do the · same
when faced with a life~ threatening situa·
ti on . It 's called displacement activity.
Is it any surprise, Caldicott asked,
that our young people, unable to
" cope" as their parents do , turn to
drugs and alcohol out of "fear that they
have no future?"
She urged physicians and other concerned citizens to wake people up to the
fact that a nuclear war must be
prevented . " We must have a total commitment to saving tbi s planet! "

Lewis thinks
Reagan policies
are tainted
By WENDY ARNDT HUNT
Having been introduced as the nation ' s
most respected legal journalist, the man
approached the podium, adjusted his
half-glass, wire-rim spectacles, then addressed the 244 graduating U/ B law
students saying that not only must people obey the law, but so must countries.
Anthony Lewis, a New York Times
columnist and a two-time Pulitzer Prize
winner, quoted a Supreme Court justice:
"If government breaks the law .. .it invites anarchy. 11
With carefully-ehosen, somber words,
he spoke of how President Reagan's
, foreign policies border on illegality.
__, " I think this country, our country., is
more effective if it remains true to our
ideals," he said, pawing, "and especially our ideals of the law. "
Standing on the stage of Kleinhans
Mwic Hall May 24, Lewis said one of
Ronald Reagan's basic problems is that
he views the U.S.S.R. as ~ tbe major
menace to world peaee.

not that clever," the 1948

reaso ns of their own for resenting the
people who rule over them. "
In the frenzy to thwart communism,
Lewis said , Reagan has forgotten the
lessons of Vietnam and Iran. He neglects
recent history : the 20 billion dollars in
American military arm s used by the
Shah do not protect democracy in that
Middle Eastern country .
To combat the perceived threat, Lewis
said, the president distributes arms with no questions asked - to allied
govern ments.
Argentina, a country littered with
swastikas, will be sold U.S. military supplies because Reagan sees it as a potential ally. Guatemala, the country condemned by Amnesty International as the
most brutal in the world, Lewis said, has
been designated by administration officials as worthy of U.S. support.
Before Reagan, America would not
help countries that "cut their people to
pieces with machetes," ~wis said.
But, he continued, Reagan believes
the U.S. must be realistic. The solution
to international problems is military
strength.
This philosoph y, said the 1956-57
Nieman Fellow at Harvard, who
specialized in the st udy of law, undermines the status of the United States .

Prostituting tbe Ameriam conimltmeat
When the U.S. allies itself with countries
that deny their people human rights even in the quest to combat communism
- America prostitutes its commitment
to the law .
Referring to his travels in Angola last
January, Lewis said the African nation
does not want Cubans in the country .
But Reagan's okayed cov~rt C.I.A.
maneuvers in Angola will not convince
its leaders to disdain communism .
American farming techniques and
business advice will, Lewis said.
America's international advocacy of
Thomas Jefferson's belief in the human
being's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and commitment to the
law more effectively deters commUnism,
Lewis said.
Lewis referred to Jacobo Timerman,
the Argentine newspaper editor and
publisher wbo was jailed, then tortured
in his South American country before he
was forced to emigrate to Israel.
When questioned by his captors as to
wbat . to do with terrorists, Timerman
replied that a fair trial would expose
their political emptiness. He told them
their retaliatory measures only subverted
the legitimacy of the Argentine state.
Timerman did not lmow that the terrorists bad already been executed.

A d......,.. dlrectloa
America's reliance on military tactics in
El Salvador, Argentina and Anaola,
Lewis said, taints the teacltinas of
America' s founcfina fathers.
"We are headed in a dan&amp;erous direction," Lewis warned the Jraduates.
As he peered over his ~lasses toward
his audience, the Harvard Law School
lecturer referred to a previous com- t speaker's words, reiteratina,

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

FSA to study co-op bookstore idea
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
After hearing several of its members
voice strong complaints about Folleu,
the board of directors of the Faculty
Student Association voted last week to
consider es tablishing a st udent
cooperative bookstore whi ch would provide "a wide range of cultural a nd
educational books and periodicals" for
the University community.
Forwarded by Professor Jonathan
Reichen of Ph ysics, the resolution also
calls on the FSA 's counsel to "examine"
the current contract Folleu has with the
U/ B Foundation, and to "outline" a
contract for the proposed cooperative .
A subcommillee of the Board will consult over the summer and fall with
various bookstore managers and ot her
professio nals about projected costs,
space needs and managerial concepts of
the proposed co-o p. The resolution provided $800 for consultative costs. A
report is expected from the subcommit·
tee before Spring 1982.
Also, panially in response to an anticip~ed increase . in .activity on the
AmhcfSl - C&amp;mpus wit h the opening o f
the Knox Lecture Center. the Board
voted to extend food service hou rs at
Norton or Talbert this fall. Starting
September I , food will be available to 8
p.m. ·during the week , from II :30 a.m.
to 4 :30 p.m. on Saturday, and from I
p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday . The new
schedule will be eva lua ted after
Thanksgiving, when other changes ,
possibly further expansions, may be
made.

he had tried to do just that, had spe nt

Senate ~cts to require students to take
at least two upper level GE courses
also charged the GEC to "formul ate
cri teria" for distinguishing what constitutes upper level courses, to tak e "affirmative steps to tnco urage their
development " a nd to report back to the
Senate this fall on their "number and
distribution . " Under terms of the
resolution, the GEC would then "consider a motion for impleQ!_qllation' ' for
fall of 1983 , with the ""il:t mandated
number of upper level courses to he
specified in the motion .
Garver first took exception to the
substitute resolution on procedural
grounds, noting that the Senate didn't
have the authority to ask anything of the
GEC since it is an administrative rather
than a Senate comminee.
Thou&amp;h it endorsed the principle of
mandating upper level GE courses, the
former Senate Chairman said Metzaer's
resolution wu "too open..:nded" and
"did nothing to establish policy." He
also lfrBed Senators to make policy decisions before any students begin taking
GE courses next fall, rather than having
!lifferent rules apply to freshmen and

sophomores . Garver called the ~lu­
tion " not hing more than a delaying tactic" and argued that the program, as is,
o nly exacerbates the problem by making
upper classmen take more lower level
courses . Presently, most of the courses
proposed for the GE program are lower
level.
Garver also described some of the
GEC members as '-'nervous Ndlies"
who rear his proposal would cause
another SJIN, making it impossible to
"get off the ground" by fall of 1982 .
Metzaer, on the other hand , preferred
to think of his resolution as "cautionary." ThoUJh Qpver's proposal a ppeared " modest," Metzger warned that
it had costs and seating implications
which have not been worked through by
the Committee. He reminded his colleagues what happened when they voted
to accept the original GE proposal
without first investigating its resource
and logistical effects.He suggested that
the GEC he given the time to explore its
impact so the Senate decision would not

Ms. Wise is steamed
Wha.t particularly steamed Ms . Wise was
th e fact that Allen rose to su pport the
nomination of a board member candidate on the reform ticket who was opposing incumbent Professor O li ver Gibso n of this campus . That cost Gibson
votes , Wise charged , and was responsible, in her view, for leaving the University centers without any repres~ntation.
The local reformers did back Professor
Paul Diesing of U/ B for a board seat,
but he was defeated by a Uni ted Caucus
candidate who Ms. Wise notes candidly
"was one of our less well-known candidates."
The position taken by the !veal
academic delegates, Ms . Wise said, was
"not very smart."
Under UUP guidelines, U/ B could
have elected only one person to the
delegate board . Joe Drew, statewide
treasurer, has one seat by virt ue of his
position and no camp us can have more
than two. A way to ensure that U/ B
would have picked up the extra seat, Ms.
Wise said, would have been for the
reform caucus to at least pit Prof. Diesing against Prof. Gibson .
Allen sees It dlfferntly
Allen's version of the meeting is
somewhat different. Things were quite
calm and amicable, he reports, adding
that most of the fireworks were in the
eye of Ms. Wise. Allen contends that,
really, the caucuses within UUP don't
make that much difference anymore.
There seems to have been a move toward
the center on the part of both. The new
president, Allen noted , took immediate
steps to close ranks with her Reform
Caucus opponent Prof. Paul Lauter,
American Studies, Old Westbury, whom
she defeated by a vote of 106-96. Lauter
remains as the academic vice president
of the State-wide group. If there was any
difference betw&lt;CN the two, Allen suggested, it centers on different perceplions of the weight to be ac.c orded to
UUP Central. Drescher seems tb want
equal weight between UUP Central and
the chapters, Allen noted, while Lauter
and the Reform Caucus want greater
authority to lie with the chapters. In her
acceptance speech, Drescher said her
"first priority" will be to " heal divisions ." ·
Prior divisions within the union, Allen
commented, centered around the former
President Wakshull. The United Caucus
was strongly, loyal to 'him and the
reformers thought .him t~ autocratic.
In the recent election there was no

animosity to be detected among candidates, Allen said .
Ms . Wise , suggested Allen, is an intensel y political individual who appears
to be reading more into the si tuation
than was actually there.
So too, said Allen, with Ms . Wise's
unhappiness with his failure to back
Gibso n. Wise tends to be intensely loyal
and has a familial feeling toward
members of the local chapter, in Allen's
view . That probably explains her reacti o n, he said. Allen had informed Gibson so me months befo re that he was not
going to support him for reelection . Further, he said , even if the entire Buffalo
delegation had voted for G ibso n, he still
would not ha ve had enough vo tes.
Who's really responsible?
Allen is saddened that the Reform
Cau cus was unable to elect Professor
Diesing . Diesing lost by three votes, a
fac t which enab les Allen to turn the
ta bles on Ms. Wise's charge. Had Wise
and th e members o f her caucus seen fit
to back Diesing, the Uni versity Centers
would not be without academi c
representation on the UUP board .
Allen suggested that most of the posi tions up for election were decided by independent voters not aligned with either
caucus, who voted primarily on the basis
of individual personalities . Wpmen ran
well, too .
Wbo won what
The United Caucus won six of ten positions being contested. In additio n to
President Drescher, United Caucus
elected William Cozart, Admissions,
Cortland, as secretary: and former
secretary Ed Alfonsin. an English professor from Potsdam, as membership
chairperson. United Caucus also took
three of seven board seats: Alan Shank ,
Geneseo; Frank Maraviglia of the College of Environmental Science and
Forestry; and Fred Mil[er of Oneonta .
Elected by the Reform Caucus were
board members Mac Nelson, English,
Fredonia; Susan Puretz, Health Education, New Paltz; John Crary, Physics,
Canton Ag. &amp; Tech. unit; and Phil
Reine s,
Comm un ications,
Plattsburgh.
The new UUP president holds a majority of one on the union board . United
Caucus had three incumbents which,
with the six they elected this year, gives
them a total of nine . The Reform
Caucus had four incumbents and elected
four newcomer.; for a total of eight. 0

Individualism is wave of the 80s, nurses hear
"In my judgement, the most dramatic,
solid trend of the 1980's is a shift toward
individualism," Dr. Cathryne A. Welch,
executive director of the New York State
Nurses Association, told those attending
School of Nursing commencement exercises at Shea's Buffalo, Sunday.
" People want, need and are seeking
not just health care but humanized
health care," she said, pointing out that
while the term "humanized health care"
may appear redundant , in our modern
age, it is not.

Welch noted that this issue is one
dimension of the shift toward individualism, which she believes is consis·
tent with the nature and responsibilities
o f nursing and which offers the profes·
sian deperatel y needed opportunities for
enhancing its capacity to serve society .
Welch said opportunities the nursing
profession will aggressively pursue in the
1980's will include standardizati on of
educational req uirements for entry into
practice and cla rifi ca ti on of the
statutory authorization to practice.

The breal&lt;up and/ or breakdown of
existing sys tems can permit and encourage

increased

autonomy

and

creativity in nursing practice, Welch suggested.
"Declini ng confidence in and
dependence on governmcm can enhance
the profession's leg itimate se-Jf.
determination and seJf. regulation

Information is a public utility, SILS grads told
New York State Senator Major R.
Owens, a former librarian, tol d
graduates of the School of Information
and Library Studies (SILS) Sunday that
"a library which is merely a quiet place
to read belongs to an era which has
ended ."
•
Owen s, Stat e Sena tor fro m
Brooklyn's 17th Senatorial District (part
of Kings County) , was the speaker at
SILS' 15th commencement , held in the
Kiva, Baldy Hall. His address on
"Challenges in the Age of Information "
was heard by 68 graduates who received
master's degrees in Library and Information Science, and their famili es.
Degrees were co nferred by Dr .
Donald Rennie, vice president for
research and graduate st udies.
Though America has "some of the
best publicly-supported libraries in the
world," Owens said, " existing efforts
are still rather primitive compared to the
knowledge and information needs of o ur
time."
Citlzensblp Ullterates
The legislator, also an adj unct faculty
member at Columbia University's
School of Library Science, warned that
democracy in this country is "on trial"
because a large percentage of the
population are "citizenship iUiterates."
Owens went on to define citizenship
literacy as "ability to use history. cur·
rent theories, fac ts and publi&lt;- pro--

nouncements to guid e individual deci·
sion making on public iss ues, proposi·
tions and the selection of pub lic of·
ficials ." Before democ racy· is " sucked
down into a spectacu lar phantasmagoria
of con tradict ions and confusion ,"
Owens challenged the graduates to stri ve
towards building a "strong natio nal
public knowledge and information
system."
While o ther media ma y succeed in
"triggeri_ng the interest" of public concern about certain i ~s u es , and other information so urces may "amplify" it,
Owens sutimitted that the library is the
"final satisfying organ " in information
search and retrieval because it provides
"a variet y of viewpoi nts and a cross·
section of coverage."
Information is a public utilit y
As professi onal librarians, SlLS
graduates have a respo nsi bility to promote the concept of "information as a
public utility" so that access can be
gained to pri vately operated data bases,
Owens said . They also have a duty, he
co ntinued, to deve lop "prohibitions
against denying access to publicly·
generated information, regardless of its
for mat . The irony is that taxpayers must
wait for data which they paid to
generate," he lamented, while in forma·
tion, such as census data, is made
available to commercial data bases "for
those who can pay .' '

Before being elected to the st ate
senate, Owens worked for two years as
director of Columbia Universit y's Com·
munity Media Librarian Program and
before that served six years as com missioner of the New Yo rk Cit y Community
Development Agency.

After his address, a media presentation depicti ng SILS during the past
school year was presented by st uden ts
Stephen Kovnat and William Vaccaro.

UUP l~aders find fl~ws in ·no-union stance
Editor.
I read Prof. Zionts' letter in last week 's
Reporter with dismay, as it slowly
dawned on me that nothing I could say
would change his mind. I began to
suspect this when I rea_d his phrases
about UUP's clever maneuvers and hidden agendas and realized that he conceptualizes tht union as a small group of
plotters rather than what it really is: an
unruly mass of thousands of academics
trying to work in · unison through a
democratic process. Secret machinations
and covert (dans arrived at through
public debate and roll-call votes ... Conrradictio in adjectio unless you start with
a fixed "them against us" premise. But
UUP is " us."
But what really blew me away was
Prof. Zionts' lasl paragraph : "I'd prefer
no union . I'd rather see the market
force s properly bring about an
equilibrium .... " Wherc..are th e " market
forces " in our negotiations with the
Governor's office? In our lobbying fo r a
higher budget? The need for an
analytical skills course on our campus is
apparentl y more pressing than we
thought.
Naticiilwide there may be markets; not
at places like Michigan State, though ,
where over 300 faculty are being fired
and the rest are hastily organizing a
union . Further, markets are by definition selective. No doubt specialists in accounting, or civil engineering, o r computer sciences could compete on the
open market, but what about classics ,
art history, or philosoph y? Our vision of
a uhiversity does not permit it to be
defined by the-current market forces . In
fact, apart frOm society's residual
cultural intransigence, the inajo r force
preserving the historic role of the universit y agains t Prof. Zionts' •• market
forces" is precisely our uni on's in sistence upon general equality. So in ad dition to not understanding the union , I
fear that he does not understa nd the
universit y.

He despai"
So I despair o f co nvi nci ng Prof. Zionts .
But I might at least correct some of his
errors, lest ot hers be misled, too .
First: the issue of suppo rt for the
union . Last time there were 11 ,000 valid
votes cast in the challenge election. As of
last month there were 12,000 members
of UUP. Some have joined without enthusiasm but I know from direct ex perience that man y ha ve gained a deeper
understanding and would gladl y vole
against another challenge.
Second: UUP does. not propose "standardization of salaries across campuses
and across disciplines ." We do negotiate
across-t he-board increments that apply
to all faculty and staff. One reason is
that the courts have held that SUNY is a
unit . Any unio n must negotiate for all
campuses and di sciplines. If Prof.
Zionts wants special arrangements for
his department in sta rting salaries or
discretionary increments, let him make

them himself (as is done, "for exam ple, in
o ur School of Medicine) .
Third: CSEA got a 7"1o increase in its
last contract. UUP got 8"1o: 7"1o acrossthe-board plus I O'J'o discretionary. No
public employees union in New York did
belter than that.
Fourth: Prof. Zionts does not want
any grievance representati o n . Who
does? But when you need it, it is there.
Without it you would be defen seless
befo re the State. Remember that none of
us are em ployed by U / 8 . We aren't even
employed by SU NY . Our employer is
the State of New York . (Your recent
"funny mo ney" checks o ught to drive
that poi nt home.)
Fifth: It is true that the break -poi nt in
union d ues is S20.000. It had to be
somewhe re, to be fair to those earning
less than the average. In any discrete
series there are break-points; even in the
letter-grades we assign in our classes. (I
hope Prof. Zionts' student s read his letter; all those earning C + will now approach him for a B-. )
Take the deduction
Sixth: UUP' s dues are not negl igible and
some time in the future they may even be
increased, if innat io n continues. But
anyone earning ove r $25 ,000 is alread y
getting more than his total union dues
back in the inc reased annual TIAAC REF payments which UUP wo n . In ef-

Editor:
This is my last hope . This university is
on the verge of losing one o f its finest
professors, a nd I have run out of ideas .
Last Spring , Dr. Edmu nd Da y of the
Department of Physics and Astronomy
was den ied tenure. 1 wrote a letter to the
chairman of the Physics Dept. last summer expressing my concern, and this
past wi nter I organized a petition . I sent
copies of this petition to President Ketter and Dean Peraaono . I feared that attracting st uden t attention through the
newspapers might in the process cause
damage lo Dr. Day, and reserved it for a
last resort . Nevertheless, I was able to
obtain approximately 200 signatures
from former students and teaching
assistants, merely· through personal effo rts.
I attempted to make an appointment
with President Ketter twice to discuss the
si tuation , and was "'twice told that I
would receive a phone. call to arrange
one. However, I never did .
I believe Dr. Day to be one of th e beSI
professors that I have had, and I know
that man y students who ha ve had him as
a professor feel the way I do.
Enclosed is a copy of the petition,
which explains why I (we) feel" that Dr.
Day is more than an asset to this universitY.
I appeal to the students, faculty and
community for his support.

Seventh: UUP did endorse Carey in
the last election. That is because his oppo nent (Perry Duryea) ran on a plat form explicitly calling for the abolition
of SUNY completely . Carey has hardl y
been gener~&gt;us , blll we have survived
(th anks to UUP's "Save SUNY" cam paign , which Prof. Zionts did not mention). Would that politics were clean and
si mple .
Eighth: Should UUP 's C hapter
Presidents get released ti me? I can be·
philosophical about this, since I am
abo ut to be detached from such a ro le .
Departmental Chairmen (like Prof.
Zionts) get a released load; so does ~he
Chairman of the Faculty Senate . I think
the time expended is rather comparab le.
But it may be better to preserve the
vo lunteer nature of our union even at
the expense of its elected officers' hides.
At this point I reali ze that I can never
answer aU of Prof. Zio nts' poinls ,
beca use I have to grade the papers and
exams of the ca. 200 students I am
teaching this semester. He has so man y
co mplaints . When I have complaints }
try to do something about them, apart

from voicing th em. Fortunately, since
UUP is a democratic union, I can.

Editor:
Prof. Zionts' letter in a recent Reporter
conveniently avoided discussion of the
fact that through·the efforts of UUP and
its affiliate the 12"1o TIAA-CREF contribution by the State was pegged at
Sl6,500 instead of the Social Security
break as had been the case.
I don ' t know Prof. Zionts or his
salary level but I suspect that the increased co ntribution annually to his account
(assu ming he is in TIAA-CREF) attributable to this legislation is greater
than the annual "fee" he pays to the
union .
I realize he is nm an NEA / NYEA
adhe rent but that he really. fa vors no
union at all in which case legisla ti on of
this kind would be impossible to
achieve .
Thank you .

feet, therefore, Prof. Zionts already gets
all his money back plus the government
ki dly prints a deductible line for union
dues on the I 040 form for him (and I
believe it would be good manageriient
practice to take the tax deduction) .

It has come to our attention by word of
mouth- thai Dr. Edmund Day has been
,_
denied tenure.
In a university highly devoted 10
research, the qualities of a professor as a
teacher are often overshadowed. Dr Day
is clearly one of the best professors we
have had.

It is si mple to claim that a professor is
great-it is more difficult to explain
wby. However, there are several facto rs
which distinguish Dr . Day for his commitment to the respo nsi bilities of
teaching .
The first and foremost co nsideration
is competence . Dr . Day ex hibit.) a
powerful com mand of physics; he
therefore commands respect.
Dr. Day not only exemplifies an enthusiasm for physics, but more importantly, he is able to transmit that enthusiasm to his students.

Dr. Day displays a genuine interest in
his students: he is accessible and devmes
much time and effort to insure that his
studen ts understand the material.
Finally, the key poin t is that professors such as Dr. Day are needed to inspire future researchers, and to help
them draw on their creativity.
We apprec iate your co nsideration of
his contin uing service.

Ce rtain levels of the U/ 8 Administration ha ve employed an unfair and arbitary standard to measure Professor
Gene Grabiner 's scholarly production
since at the time or his hiring he was not
yet a Ph.D. , needing 2 V1 years from that
time on to finish his length y dissertation .
Apparently, these Administration levels
applied the sa me time standard used in
the case of newly hired Ph .D. 's. Ob·
viously this is not fair and in fact quite
discriminating. That is why , faculty,
students and community leaders have

I Grabiner case. Apart from the fact that
many feel that tenure and promotion

competent and brilliant scholar, fairness

tenure-time period sho uld be extended
to at least another 2 Vl years in order to
give the professor a chance to ma ke up
for the time expended to finish his
dissertation . Professor Grabiner
deserves this opportunity , for he has
a lready produced under the pressure of a
shortened tenure sc hedule, an impressive
record or scholarly publication (in print ,
forthcoming in print and presently
under review) .
Therefore, an extension of 2 V1 years
should be granted to Dr. Grabiner as a
means to overcome the unfair and arbitrary standard that has been applied to
him . This unfairness is compounded
since Grabiner's Marxist social-scientific

Scholars Conference in Milwaukee on
the weekend of April 10-12, 1981.
"We wish to express our dee-p concern
over· the denial of promotion and tenure
in the case of Professor Grabiner. The
denial is not based upon the quality of
his scholarship as alleged but rather the
Marxist grounding of his work. Marxism is widely recognized as a legitimate
scientific approach to the social sciences.
Therefore , the denial of tenure and promotion in the case of Professor Grabiner
constitutes a blatant violation of
academic freedom. We endorse the demand of his local support committ~
that he be immediately granted tenure

U / B was one of only nine SUNY cam puses that successfu ll y s ubmitted
nominations to the Board of Trustees
for 1981 honorary degree ca ndidat es .
" We hope to repeat this success in
1982, " Harry R . Jackson , director of
public affairs, said in a recent letter
soliciting nominations from facult y,
staff and student groups. The reason for
the early start, Jackson said , is that the
nominations have to be submitted to
SUNY Central shortly after beginning of
the fall semester. In order to allow time
for solicitation of nominations and to
permit the Presidential Commit ttt on
Honorary Degrees time to deliberat e
before passing recommendations to
President Ketter, these guidelines are in
effect :
I . Nom inations for honora ry degree
recipients may be su bmitted by faculty,
staff, s tudent s , alumn i , Co un cil
members, and friends of the U niversi ty.
2. Nominations are to be based o n
criteria in the SUNY guidelines .
3. Nominations r. ust be subm itted to

The Wednesday Summer Forum
sponsored by lhe Faculty of Educational
Studies will again feature a visiting
speaker al 10 a .m. each Wednesday during the second Summer Session . At 2
p .m . on the same days , the visitor's will

These are the SUNY guidelines :
Purposes
I . T o recognize excellence and extraordinary achievement in the fields o f
public affairs , the sciences, humanities
a nd the arts , scholarship and education .
business and philanthropy, and social
services which exemplify the mission and
purposes of the State Universit y of New
York ;

o f New York, the United States , or to
humanity at large;
3. To reco gnize persons whose lives
and significant achievemen ts should
serve as examples o f the University 's
aspirations fo r its students .

The Noloro of the Hoaorory Oql'ft
I . The Board of Trustees shall award all

Doctor of Humane Leners (L.H .D .)
Doctor of Laws (LL.D.)
Doclor of Letters (Litt . D.)

I . The basis for the selection of a degre&lt;:
recipient shall be consistent with the
Purposes of Honorary Degrees outlined

that are the aim of education as well as
significant contributions in that person's

'Big ideas'
in education
have failed
By ANN WHITCHER
Educators of the ' 60s and '70s had a
number of star-studded ideas, most of
which were intended to improve
American education and make way for a
bright and progressive future .
Behind much of this, said a former
Massachusetts commissioner of education and lllinois' ex-superintendent of
public instruction, was the notion that
money alone would help solve problems
in American education . Dr. Joseph M.
Cronin, one-time associate dean of the
Harvard Graduate School of Education,
said here last week that these ideas included consolidation of smaller school
districtS, bilingual education and a
federal department of education. to
name only a few.
But, Cronin, whose visit was span·
sored by the Department of Educational
Administration, said that a number of
factors have caused a crisis of con·
fidence among professionaJ educators.
Most of them are familiar to anyone
who picks up a daily newspaper and include: declining enrollments (40 per cent
in some areas, said Cronin), grass·roots
suspicion of large school districts. and
general doubts about American knowhow in a number of areas, especially the
technical.
Cronin noted, for instance, that re·
cent studies point to the Japanese as first
in productivity. On top of this, several
countries now have a higher per capita
income, he reported. The perception of
U.S. vulnerability, "never so evident as
with the seizing of the American
hostages," is continuous . Said Cronin:
"We're vulnerable ... we're hurting,"
adding that the question is increasingly:
"Whom are we graduating?"
Educaton defeasive
Given the fiscally tight 1980s, Cronin
said American educators are
"defensive" about their usual answer to
problems, i.e., more moneY. ' 4 The truth
is lhat we don't know if' ' increased

funding is the solution, he stated.
Cronin, who worked with the frequently intractable Mayor Daley of
Chicago, said he 's "fascinated" by the

apparent ideological shifts of such
erstwhile liberals as educationist Nathan
Glazer and New York Senator Daniel
Patrick Moynihan . Glazer, according to
Cronin, has said he likes the "answers"
provided by traditional liberalism , but
doesn't think "they fit the times. "
One area which reflect s thi s
ideological swing in education is consolidation of school districts, a movement which Cronin favors . Districts

school district should "reflect local
values ." Cronin admitted that objectors
to consolidation have a point: many
schools with large enrollments have been
forced to close anyway .

Cronin aJso noted the role technology

of the educators'

dilemma.

Cronin

helped plan bilingual education programs in both Massachussetts and
Illinois. But he admitted that federal
.implementation during the Carter
Administration had its drawbacks. An
early federal document, for example,
was "2()..30 pages of very proscriptive
detail." It realized, said Cronin, some of
the "worst fears" of the bilingual ed
critics.

Cronin discussed the situation in
Boston: "It's a comfort being in Buffalo
where you are at least temporarily solvent," he said. In Boston, "draconian
cuts" have been made in a city school
budget $40 million over budget, whose
travails are a regular "Perils of Pauline"
story. Cronin also compared the Boston
situation to previous school crises in

This is the third and final article in-a series based upon a "Professional Staff
Educational Needs Survey '' conducted during Spring 1980 by Charles Bland, a
D.U .E. Senior Advisor and chairperson of The Professional Staff Senate's
Human Resources Committee. Previous issues of the Reporter (April 9 and
April 23), outlined the demography of the professional staff, and compared
those demographic fea tures against the stafrs pfesent work and educational
background .
The general conclusion that emerged from the first .two parts of the series
was of a predominantly male sta ff. By every demographi c measuremen t, the
professional staff perceived a very high correlation between their current wo rk
and educational background, and their...,..esp(mses to the survey showed that by
a 5· 1 rat io they were not pursuing a h1gner degree or further educational work.
The purpose of this article is ( 1) to examine the educational activity of the
professional staff who are engaged in educational activity, (2) to measure the
interests of those who presen tl y a re not pursuing any educational program, the
ki nd s of programs they would be interested in , and (3) the obstacles perceived
as hindering such work.

Respondents were asked to express their interest in a degree or certificate
program that would provide the student witb concrete training applicable to
University Administration. Overall, among the 303 who responded to the
ques tion , 183 or 62 per cent expressed an interest. Of these positive responses,
the following levels of training were preferred:

Other ana lysis of the above demographic features shows that in some cases
those catego ries which have earlier been identified as predomi na ntly female
show a _st_rikingly greater in terest in fu rther education, as manifested by current activity. For example, Table I shows tha t an unusu ally high proportion of
respondents who are aged 20-29 (which was female by 57-43 per cent) are
presently pursuing a high er degree . Also, 38 per ce nt of those who a re pursuing
a higher degree are in the 20-29 age range (and presumed to be mostly female) .
Similarly, 70 per cent of th ose pursuing a higher degree are in the PR-J and
PR-2 cat egoric~, wh!ch also are female by 55-45 per cent. Finall y, 76 per cent
of th_ose pursuit;'&amp;. hagher degrees have seve n years or less service, a catego ry
t~at IS closely dtvaded between male and fema le. If th ose who are pursuing a
htgher degree serve as a model for prospective policy to irteuce ed ucational activity on the part of those who are not, awareness of the special needs of
fe male em ployees would seem to be important.
Several questions in the Survey were germane only to those members of the
staff who were presently purs~ing a hif~er degree (70 staff members). Fiftynme (or 84 per cent) were pursuing tt:eir educational work at SUNY at Buffalo, while II (or 16 per cent) were pursuing work elsewhere. Of these eleven
six were attending college somewhere in Buffalo (four at Buffalo State Colleg~
and two at Canisius); other institutions were State University College at
Geneseo; New York University; University of Pittsburgh and University of
California at Berkeley.
Seve~ty-seven per c_ent of those pursuing a higher degree were doing so for
professaonal ~eruficat_I&lt;?n or cnhanc~ment of present employment, while 23 per
cent were domg additional educational work for self enlightenment or self
fulfillment. Twelve per cent were pursuing work at the bachelor's degree Ie~el ·
44 per cent .at the masters level; 40 per cent at the doctoral level and 4 per ce'iil
were m vanous other programs. Table II delineates major areas of study and
level of degree:

Measurement of the prospective Unive rsity Administration degree or cer·
ti ficate program by various demographic features of the survey, again shows
women more likely to be interested; 65 per cent of women , versus 58 per cent
of men , favored the progra m. All age categories strongly favored the prospective prog_ram: The strongest showi ng. howeve r, was in the 20-29 range (68-32
per cent mterested) and in the over 50 range (6Z-33 per cent positive interest),
both of wluch are predominantly fe male.
Responden ts in ranks PR-1 through PR-5 overwhelmingly fa vor the pro"
spective interdisciplinary program. Those who hold bachelors and masters
degrees .also show a strong interest i~ the prospective program . Those who
hold doctoral degrees, perhaps understandably, do not. Sixty-nine per cent c:
t~ose who..-are pr:sently pursuing a higher degree are interested in the prospective program , wh1le 60 per cent of tbose not now seeking a higher degree are interested .
. A fil_lal section of.t.J:le s1;1rver asked respo ndents to identify the most conve·
ment li!lles ~or parUc1pat1on tn present or prospective educational programs
a~d to 1denufythose factors wh1ch most severely limited their opportunities.
Srxty-four per cent favored the regular academic year while 36 per cent favored
the summer months . The most popular tinies of day were nigh ts, which were
favored by 59 per cent of respondents. Thirty-o ne per cent of respondents ind•ca.ted that early morning or late afternoon were opportune times . Only a
mlntscule percentage( . 71ft) favored weekends, and no more than 9.3 per cent
of respondents could manage classes during the regular class times .
. Inflexible work requirements (no leave time available, unsympathetic super·
v1sor o_r unpredic~ble working hours) were listed as the primary deterrent to
educatronal pursurts ~y 45 pe.r cent of the .respondents, while 26 per cent indicated that a~demtc r~wrements (res1dency. sequence and timing of
cour~. etc.) hmdered therr efforts to pursue further education. Only 16 per
cent 5!-'d l~at personal scheduling difficulties (child care, etc.) prevented their
engagmg m further educalional activity. Thirty-five, or 13 per cent of
respo!lden~, ~nd1cated " o~her" to _the ~estion of li miting factors. Fourteen
of the 3S mdJcated that pressures m therr personal lives limited their educatronal activity, and seve~ i!&gt;dicated lack of financial resources. With respect to
the latter, such complaints may be a result of the employees not knowing
about at least twoJorms of tuition assistance made possible under .the SUNYUU~ cootra~t; a staff member may attend one class free of charge on a space
av&amp;Jlable basrs, and may have from half to all of the balance of his tuition paid

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

US-Canadian skirmish here
"'ay mark start of Acid Rain war
By UNDA GRACE-KOBAS
A positive step In bringing the issue of
acid rain and Canadian co~m about it
to U.S. attention-that's how some participants saw last week' s conference on
the issue.
Others saw it more as a first skirmish,
perhaps not unlike that at Concord, that
may mark the beginning of a protracted
battle by Canadians to pursuade the
U.S. to clean up its polluting plant
emissions.
It was a conference in which :
• One of the highest ranking Canadian officials gave the U.S: strong notice
that Canada would hold it to a 1980
bilateral agreement calling for a treaty
with strong air pollution controls to be
negotiated by next year, terming it
America's umoral obligation."
• The White House cabled an
apology to conference attendees because

can ed out or the conference·
days of the event, a si tuation many saw
as a political affront to the Canadians.
• Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick
Moynihan "•aved face " for the
Republican administration by acting as
its conciliator with Canadian officials,
prompting one observer to remark,

"Reagan owes him now ."
• Ontario's Minister of the Environment declared his provi!J_ce bas waged an
"all-out war" on acid rain , a matter of
U.S. concern since Canadians charge
that U.S companies are the major source
of air pol!utaots affecting Canada.
• A repr~tati ve of the cl);!l industry who cited a recent stud y in his
conference address was aecused of
misusing the dat.a by one of the study's
authors, who unknown to the speaker
was in the audiepce.
The Acid Rain Conference held last
Friday and Saturday was sponsored by
U / B's Canadian-American Center.
More than 100 persons who attended
heard the latest scientific research on the
subject and public Policy statements -by
both U.S. and Canadian officials.
Cuadius Wlft cyaicaJ
The conference was well covered by the
Canadiant as well as American, press.
The Canadian reporters reacted with
some cynicism to Moynihan's

as acid rain.''
Moyruhan seemed somewhat surprued tiy the unfriendliness of the press,
and .latel: abandoned his prepared luncheon address in favor ·of speaking extemporaneously and taking questions &lt;

asked, "Wh_y are-you all so solerll'/?"

Acid Rain event
sparks controversy
ficials and environmentalists from both
sides of the border reviewed the past and
potential damage from acid precipitation being wrought, especially in Ontario and New York's Adirondacks
region, representatives of th~ coal industry maintained a strong stand against·
the implementation of legislation mandating tough plant emissions standards.
Ohio's slaDd was died
Most were in agreement with the official
stand of the State of Ohio's Environmental Protection Agency, whose
director was one of those cancelling out
of the conference and is considered to

hold influence with the Reagan administration.
That stand was best represented in the
remarks ofA. Joseph Dowd, senior vice
president and general ·counsel for the
American Electric Power Service Corporation, whose remarks kept being
referred to by later speakers on both
sides, either as a rational stance or as an
inlmoraJ one.

Dowd reviewed what he called a
"rational
decision·making
methodology" to be applied to the problem of acid rain. He decried the "high
pitched, irrational chant" of those who
would reduee the emissions -of the
Midwest's coal-fired power plants. He
said it hasn't been proven yet that these
emissions are the cause of acid rain in
Canada and to the east.
"The existence, the severity and the
permanence of most of the alleged environmental acidification problems are
mere hypotheses,'~ Dowd stated.
"Because no causal linkage has been
established betweeen air poDution and
lalce acidification, it is impossible to
determine whether, how much and what
sort of emission reduction should be
made or whether, if made, they would
have any Significant impact on the'
acidification process."

Nowak

tackling the burgeoning threat of acid
rain can result in further incalculable
damage. Such delays would be particularly repugnant to Canadians if they
were the result solely of narrow vested
interests.,.
He concluded, "I am certain that all
responsible Americans accept that the
rule of l'lw should guide their relations
with other countries as well as their internal activities. I am also certain that
responsible Americans ~ognize that
our mutual obligations must be met by
dealing with the causes of acid rain to
prevent further damage rather than concentrating on remedies for damage after
it has oocurred."
His stance was reinforced by Keith
Norton, environmental minister for New
York's nearest neighbor, the Province of
Ontario, who said, "Quite simply, the
Ontario government's position is
this-all-out war on acid rain."

"Current pojjtical rhetoric would
have us use benefit-cost analysis to
evaluate the trade-off between acid
depositions and .energy and fabricated
goods production. To the extent the
rhetoric asks us to weigh all the gains
and losses of more industrial fabrications and more acid depositions, it is to
be commended. If, however, we must.
form the question so that it always fits
comfortably into the box of conventional benefit-cost analysis as · the
economist understands the term, then an
iUusion will be fostered: the negatives of
acid deposition conli-cil will be exaggerated relative to its positives.
"The decision-malcing process is likely to determine the usefulness and
credibility, and therefore \be aoceptability, of benefit-cost studies of the ·acid
deposition iS.ue: a decision procedure
relying on the presentation and weighing
of differing but informed. views is more
likely to be valuable than one that
adheres to singleminded appli!'Btion of a
limited analytic and empirical technique.
Benefit-cost analysis is' not a replilcement for thinking. Failure to recognize
its limits could cause the technique to be
dismissed as useless even where it is
robust.
'
"It -is equally as senseless to make
control decisions only on the basis of
proof of economic losses as it is to make
them .only on the basis of proof of no
economic losses. What must be done is
· to weigh the benefits and costs of adhering to each type of proof; that is, the net
benefits of requiring proof of losses
must be set against the net benefits of requiring proof of no losses. Good information is then not being thrown away by
an untutored adherence to a --severely
limited view of what constitutes acceptable scientific truths."

· "Three baste facts caused the Govern.
ment of Canada to put acid rain at the
head of the agenda during President
Reagan's recent visit · to Ottawa: The
first is that at least half of the roughly
eight million tons of S02 and close to
four million loris of oxides of nitrogen
falling on Canada every year comes to us
from the U.S .... The second fact is that
much of the approximately one million
square miles of Canada that are particularly '!ensitive to this phenomenon

recognize the .necessity of internalizing
the real costs of those activities which
produce acid-causing pollutants, rather

transport problems; states have primary

H ow tbey fared
This is what the results on the newsmen
showed :
On the 6:30 news, ABC 's Frank
Reynolds runs second to Rather with 33
points (Rat her had 41 points total). But
Reynolds is perceived as a " he ro" by
so me and as an " anti-hero" by others.
The "confusion" di lutes his effectiven ess. NBC' s Roger Mudd, runs
th ird, but Mudd scores highest of the
top three as an "anti-hero." Following
Gold haber's thesis that the public wants
an anti-hero at dinner, Mudd should
become the most popular figure at 6:30.
NBC' s current anchor John Chancellor
ranks fifth overall among those still on
tbe air at dinner time, but again his
points are all in the anti-hero C?lumn .
NBC ought to combine its two antiheroes, Mudd and Chancellor, for a
winning combination, Goldhaber sug...gests.
A BC's Max Robinson, one of its
lesser anchors at 6:30 , has a total
charisma score which ranks him fo urth
in that time period . But people perceive
him eit her as a hero or as a mystic,
neither of which will get hi m very far .
Finally Peter Jennings, A BC' s European
ancbor, is too much of a good-looki ng
hero with ju st a hint of the mys tic. The
res ult , sa ys Goldhaber , is once mo re
"confusion ."
In the morning, Goldhaber posits,
viewers also need an an'ti -hero or
ave rage person to wake them ~p and tell
them what they want to hear, " namely
that the world did not blow up while
they were asleep .'' A morning newsman
should not be dramatic or dynamic, says
Goldhaber. Tbat's why Tom Brokaw of
" Today" winds up last among morning
men. He is all hero. On tbe other hand ,
droopy David Hartman is near perfect
for the wake-up· role, ranking first at
that hour. CBS has added Charles
Kuralt as its morning anchorman, and
Kuralt, believes Goldhaber, may give
Han man a run for his money as early
morning TV's man-next-door.
Al though be doesn ' t have competition
at the late night hour, ABC's Ted Koppel with an overall charisma score second only to Dan Rather's, is 'assessed
by Goldhaber to be " made" for the
II :30 p.m. time period. Koppel is
perceived as a strange mystic, primarily
because of his "slim body with a large
head and pointed ears," Goldhaber
writes. AJso, in his personal life Koppel
has done the, unusua l. He took a oneyear leave of absence to be a " house
husband" so his wife could go to law
scliool.
AJI the talk about Koppel taking over
the dinner-time news . on ABC, says
Goldhaber, ought to be forgptien .
Mysticial charisll)a is fine for late night,
but not for dinner.

Social critic Greenfield
finds TV news coverage
and programming 'banal'
By DO UG CARP ENTER
You have to wonder some times ho" a

guy like Jeff Greenfield does it.
At 37 , Greenfield is makin g what one
must assum e is a co mforta ble living as
what is politely called a social critic . He
is part-journalist, part -hum orisl . partanalyst and part-pragmatist. with a dash
of cultural revisionist th rown ·i n for
navor .
He is the soldier wh o has survived the
wars, in this ins tance the political and
media wars, on ly to return to the breach
to report on more recent cas ualties.
Greenfield's service record places him in
a rather elite corps, on the front line of
some of our histor y's a nd hi s
pro fession's most signi fican t events.

Greenfield is a native New Yorker
with a mid-west undergraduate educa-

tion and a Yale law degree. That, and a
fascination for things political, carried
him into an early career in government,

first as a legislative aide to the late
Senator Robert F . Kennedy and later as
chief speechwriter for New York City
Mayor John V. Lindsay. In 1970, he
climbed out of the political frying pan
and went to work for the fire , as a consultant with political media magician

David Garth- and associates.
Partisan past behind him
Today, Greenfield's partisan past appears cleanly behind him. He now critiques the act ions aJ:Mi-products of the very
ranks through which he rose, and does
so effectively enough to ha ve earned a
showcase for hi s perspecti ve on network
te le vision and in virtuall y every major
American magazine.

William H . Baumer, assistant vice president and controller, announced this

We are entering what Greenfield calls
''t he second generation of television,"
an age o f sprawling cable service, direct -

tO-home satellite broadcasting and computerized, in-home shopping, banking
and, perhaps, voting. "The thing that
television has done that has most
legitimately changed the political prOcess, " he obsctved, .. is that it has provided a source where everybody gets
fundamentally the same news.
"One of the reasons people hate the
media, particularly television , so
much," he explains, " is that it forces

stuff on them that they don't want to
look at, but have no choice because it's
there."

Eater 'nano'tlr'alSting'
That situation will, however, be radically attended by the advent of "narrowcasting" via cable television, which

will offer specialized channels of world,
domestic, political, financial, cultural
and educational news along with
countless other areas of concentration.
It will usher in an era in which people
will be able to watch only what they
want to watch and, unfortunately,
Greenf~eld notes, to know only what
they want to know .
News, of course, is not the only area
of television that will be revolutionized
by cable, and critic Greenfield is lying in
wait as the combatants in tile "cable

it.

He

predicts lbat the wrangling will get
worse as cable spreads, because the cable
adult fare is even more explicit than cur-

for the likes of The New York Times
Book Review and the National Lam poon. The man gets around .
He's also an author of a slew of
books, with tiUes like A Populist
Manifesto, No Peace, No Place and
Tel~ision: Tlr£ First 50 Years. Wait,
there 's more. He is also a television and
mm screenwriter, a development clearly
consistent with the philosophies of a
!nan who likes to dabble in what he
dissects.
Wbert does he fiud the lime?
One can only wonder where Jeff Greenfield finds time to hit the college lecture
circuit, which brOught him to Squire
Hall last Thur.;day under the SA
Speakers Bureau's auspices .
Certai nly no mega-star, despi te an obviously healthy exposu re level, the
unabas hedl y opiniona ted Greenf~ ld
s hys fro m the recurr-ent descrip lion of
his CBS posi tion as ··res ident naug hty

t hem as he sees I hem . " If the da y comes
when I can ' t do that. I 've got to get

Cassa ndra-lik e
Th e critic's lot has certain Ca ssa nd ralik e ove n o nes. to be sure. The fact that
so me simpl y can't take cri ticism and
ot hers pay no heed has not dissuaded
Gree nfield from pursuing a successful
ca reer in commenta ry. It has been a road
paved with tough calls. He recentl y took
"parl -time" employer CBS to Lask over
the proprie ty of retiring network news
anchor Walter Cronkite's acceptance of
a Pan Am board slot.
And so it is for Greenfield, the critic
with the larger questions about the
media; questions like quality. What are
television's biaaest mistakes? Network
news suffers from a serious "lack of
memory," says Greenfield. "Things appear on the screen as crises and disappear, and six months later you can't ftnd
it on television. The Iran-Iraq war ...
whatever happened to that?" The
pressures on the networks of trying to
tell us, in 22 minUl,&lt;s, all about what
happened in the worAI today are, he suggests, COStill8 us the uoderstandill8 we
ought to be developill8 of what those
events mean.

Of programmill8'S failings, Greenfield is less forgiving. "It's stupid television. It's the assumption, even in the
face of evidence to the contrary, that
stupid and banal television is what sells.
If you're as likely to have a hit sliow

the baseball coach , was a regrettable termination to an outstanding varsity ac·
tivity. Coach Monkarsh has contributed
some sixteen years to the development of
a na 1ionally recognized baseball pr&lt;&gt;gram despite 1he lack of supporl b01h
from the a dm i nist ration and from his
own department. ll is doubly regrettable
because not only has 1he program been
dealt a severe blow, but also Bill
Monkarsh has been relieved of his dulies
~nding an investigation.
The hysterical, overblown , extended
press coverage of this affair is not in ac·
cord with the trivial naiUre of this o ffe~ . however, and this raises some
questions about the motives of tM
Athletic Department in pursuing this incident as if it were a second RosenbiallRoth affair. The offense, which was
falsification of the score and statistics of
one game which was forfeited , could
certainly not be ronsidered self-serving,
and appears, in fact ,.lo be nothi ng more
than an act commined in a moment of
pique. The publicity given this transgression has now been broadened to include
an alleged violation of amateur stan ·
dards.
It is apparent that the Athletic Department is out to crucify Mr. Monkarsh ,
although the reason escapes me. In view
of the many years of exceUen t service
which Coach Monkarsh has contributed
10 this school , i1 behooves 1he ad ministration to resolve !his matter in a
manner consistent with the minor narure
o f the offense and in keeping with the
long and excellent service rendered by
Coach Monkarsh to this institution . 0

Factors Engineering, is presen~ each
year 10 an individual who has displayed
distinguished rontributions to original
-research in the field of Ergonomics. This
is the first time that a researcher in
North America has been so honored by
this Society. Tbe presentation was made
pn April 2 at the Society's 1981 annual
ronf..-ence held at the University of

Spectrum article
draws protest
Editor:

We the undersigned, hold tlial the Specarticle written by Seth Goodchild
roncerning Professor Gene Grabiner' s
tenure and promotion question, and
published on Friday, April 2Ath, is most
disturbing. The facts were heavily
weighted on the side of the Administration with emphasis on statements and
quotes by named and titled Administration personnel. On the other hand,
faculty supporting Dr. Grabiner' s tenure
and promotion and/or 2 112 year extension in a qualified line, were vaguely
categorized as "many." Having left the
defenders of Grabiner llnfltlmed and llniilled (with only one exception), Goodchild has given the uninformed reader an
inadequate appraisal of Professor
Grabincr's case.
Since Goodchild's article purports to
cover a •'searing debate,.. but instead
emphasizes the Admi"nisuation's views,
and since all the sipliflc:ant facts are not
given in support of Dr. Gtabiner, there
is no rml possibility for the uninformed
public to judge the case. Because of this,
Goodchild gives the,Administration the
power to dominate the thought processes of the readers. Consequently,
Goodch1ld, m effect, defames Grabiner.
Objectivi ty, justice and a truly
democratic press demaild that the SpecITJim publish a follow-up article in the
immediate future, occupying equal
space and location as the' fU"St article,
and adequately presenting lhe support
of Professor Grabiner's case.

The tunnel between Squire and Harriman, much like the Peking wall, is traditionally a spot where wiseguys, ph!losopbers and poets dash off their thoughts,
threats, and turgid treatises about the state of affairs. Days past have seen
anti-war , anti-police, anti-establishment graffiti in predominance. This year's

Americans trouble foreign student
who finds us 'too individualistic'
As.any social institution , this university
can be viewed as a £eflection of the
larger, society, in this case the American
society. Consequently, I cannot help but
look at this un iversity and my experience
in it, and associate it with the broader
society to which I am a. stranger. Ir
SCfiDS to me that, no mauer how
debMable it could be, the individualistic,

contQt of human rel8tionships comes to
mean '"'you make up your own set of
rules j,y which you live." The phrase
"yoUr,. way .. is indicative o f "private
rule~;''. The set of rules that one uses in
evtey!lay interaction can be called principles and values. Usually in other
societies the value system is collectively
produced by the whole social system.
The · American individual, however, is
burdened by a task that in other societies
usualy is not only generated through the
whole social organization but also usually comes to existence through a long process of historical nux.

duce certain forms of behavior by using
definite techn iques. Consequently, since
they th ink that they know , understand
and can predict everything, they need
not debate anything. Not only that, but
they have no needs at all either: they are
half idols. Apparently, just like typical
behaviorists, they look at the human being as a static entity: they forget that
human beings have an everchanging
dialectical nature that helps them
transform themselves fro m one state to
another.
Also, typically god-playing in dividuals on this campus do no t admit
that they themselves have human at tributes such as the capacity to experience pain, to have needs and to
make mistakes . These th ings seem to indicate failure and failure is a taboo in
this society in general. These people
always have shining faces with bright
smiles ahd they are always happy, not
appearing to have any problems what soever. As with gods, not hing affects
them, noth ing harms them , nothing aggravates them .

Ufels a pme
One of the outcomes o(the "do it your
way" style of life is that a whole tragedy
from birth to death is viewed as a game.
Games, naturally, need to have rules . In
this game there are two kind s of rules:
broad ones, and specific ones. Broad
rules in lhis game are such as: you
should not kill or steal. Success is what
everybody should strive after. Cheating,
of course, has a low value attached to it ,
but if you are smart enough to cheat
withoul anyone noticing you and to do it
subtl)r, then you are a hero. However,
the specific rules of the game are up to
the illdividual. That is, the individual is
free .to formulate any set of rules by

success is defined in such a wa y, those
who cannot live up to such standards are
not only looked upon by other people as
inferior, but they themselves look dow n
upon themselves. They punish themselves for not being able to live up to
such ideals. These people tend to
withdraw from public Ufe aod confine
themselves within an en vironmenl in
which a somewhat moderately fulfilling
personal life is possible. However, even
such a personal life may not be available
to everyone; hence withdrawal becomes
atienation . This is a point at which crises
could occur and collapse may be inevitable.
Caa !lie students cope with the style of

Psychia tric help becomes popular. But
psychiatric help is expensive when,
ironically, those who need it the most
are the poo r, those unable to cope. Apparently the Division of Student Affairs
(DSA) on this campus is well aware o f
this problem . The DSA has listed at least
eleven dial service tapes to make up for
this de fici ency in the imperso nal style o f
life o n this campus.
People do not talk to each other; of
co urse they say " hello " to each other,
but no real deba te goes on. Nevertheless
people do have problems, bu t problems
are associated with fai lure and failure,
aga in, is a taboo. So to whom, then,
sho uld the individ ual on this campus

DSA, is the answer, where again one
does not have to have a personal relationship with the helper. But , does that

Professor Rothstein had a dream about
a peculiar opera company
which had many budgetary forms
I would li)ce to describe a dream I had
rhe oiher night. Although df'f!ams, no
ma//er how obscure, af'f! f'f!puled to have
hidden significtmce, I confess thor I am
unable to come up with any meaningful
interpretation. Perhaps the readers can
find some f'f!lationsh'ip between rhis
df'f!Om and reality.
The Musical Director of the State
Opera Company worked frantically with
his calculator, trying to determine the
number of notes in La Traviata . He
needed an opera witb approx.imately
IOOJ. more notes than average, but which
came within the state guidelines for the
number of notes permilled above high
A. If only the computer program were
complete, he could quickly find his current status regarding such parameters as
number of notes sung? aria time rFmaining and could even obtain a printout of
suggested operas which would keep his
perform8J11:e in alance. ·
It had all started when the State had
provided funds in support of cultural
activities. Within a year, the Bureau of
the Budget realized the opera company
was simply incapable of proper accounting prooedures which would show the
spending of State money vs. funds from
other sources. At first, the Bureau provided special forms for purchases and
timesheets for stagehands, musicians
and singers. The opera company then
hired additional offioe staff to take care
of the bookkeeping and all might have
prooeeded satisfactorily had not the
Budget Bureau discovered that some
singers sang more than others during a
performance. To their great consternation, the Budget people found not only
that all leading singers were paid
3J:!proximately the same amount , but
mmor roles were also fiscally unbalanced. An investigating team made a
study of the situation .
Graduate data to the IJSCUe
Fortunately, university libraries contained data from graduate studen ts'
theses which listed the average number
of notes sung in an opera (NS), average
lime spent singi ng arias (AT) total
si nging time (TT), which could be subcategorized .as accompanied time {TT 1)
and solo ume (TTz). Chorus singing
came under a separate category. Also
calculated wa&gt;time on stage (TOS) of
performers which included standi ng and
acting time and the average number of
chorus notes (CT) . Using this information, the Bureau people came up with a
weig hted formula relating these
parameters. Guidelines were su b s~­
quenlly publisl!ed in which the ratio of
NS, AT, TOS and TT to numbers in the
audience (AN) . was considered parlt c ularly critical•. Appropriate
budgetary forms were developed . Thus,
the music director, by programming the
proper operas, could maintain average
performance levels within state
guidelines and not suffer from budget ·
cuts. ~
~
. There were complaints from musi Ctans that only quantity and not quality
was being considered. With admirable
flexibility_, the Bureau, now haying con- ·,
Slderable expertise in matters. musical,
reached a imple solution. Recognizing
that singers who could•reach high C and
low A were above average in quality,
they superimposed on the earlier structure, a limited bonus system for singers

However, after due --consideration , a
formula was evolved under which the
opera com pany would show that it had
considered at leas! three consultants and
would provide a-statement justifying the
final selection at least three months
before the consultation . Appropriate
budgetary forms were developed.
Extr11 performauces of •Carmen'
Everything finally sellled down to a
smooth routine until it was recogni zed
th at the librettos of most operas did no t
conform to minority hiring practices. It
was agreed that every opera did not have
to balance in this respect , only the yearly
average. E xtra performances of
"Carmen" helped with Spa ni shspeaking Americans, "Porgy and Bess"
and "Othello" helped for black s a nd
"The Girl of the Golden West" for
nati ve Americans. Relatively small
changes in the secondary clfa racters of
some operas also helped to achieve racial
balance without too greatly affecting
artistic merit. However, the top posi+
tions , that is, the lead singi ng persons
showed a preponderance of whites.
Classes were therefore started to train
additional minority singers for lead
roles . Teachers were hired and a director
of training installed.
All was goi ng smoot hl y once again

cultu ra ll y worthwhile, would further cut

At this stage. the opera co mpan y
discovered that Federal fund s were
available for support of the arts. Hastily
dropping all state assistance, the com +
pan y accepted a Federal grant. Within a

Management in particular . ha ve shrunk .
thanks to inflation , the marke t, and our

the wealth . As a result, our sc hool is
having tro uble attracting a nd keeping
good faculty because management facul ty salaries are rapidly fall ing behind the
market. In spite of UUP claims to the
contrary, settlements with SUNY faculty
follow the CSEA settlemen ts . After all.
how could the stale give us mo re? Com+
pare our most recen t three+year settle+

Union is 'money hungry'
In add ition, the union is money hungry.
If you recall, several years ago the union
had a vote to change the dues structure .
The previous dues were I fiJo of sala ry to
a maximum of S250 per year . The new
struc ture is . 9fl7o for salari es under
520,000, and 1.,o for salaries over
no.ooo to a maximum of S325 pe r year.
At that time, a majority of members
ea rned less than S20.000. therefo re. it is
not surpr ising that the change was voted
in. Clever fellows, our union officers!

how modest the UUP du es were . The

Why am I a UUP member' I must pay

Grabiner ·'frustrated'· over tenure denial
Marxist scholar Gene Grabiner WQO has
been denied tenure in the Social Foundations Department in the Faculty of
Educational Studies feels frustration
and anger over what he perceives as unfair treatment by the admini s tratio~ and
by campus news media.
The administration, Grabiner contends, was unjust in acting on his tenure
"prematurely, " although at the end of
the usual six years of service.
His case cried out for different hand·
ling, Grabiner said in an interview with
the Reporter, because he was hired here
without his Ph.D. That was in December
of 1974. He spent the next two and one·
half years finishing the dissertation
while also plunging into teaching and
becoming involved in community artd
university service projects. He argues,
and the argument has been backed by a
number of other faculty , th1u for his
scholarly production to be reviewed in
1980, amounted to his being assessed only on the basis of approxi.jnately three
y.,ars work. Educatidn faculty
supporting Grabiner's view include
Charles R. Fall, Warren Button,
Michael Simmons, Jr., Gerald R. Ris·
ing, Robert Harnack and Walter Petty.
Within his own departm&lt;Ont, Grabiner
enjoys the support of the three remain·
ing professors who were tenured at the
time of liis initial appointment.
· Grabiner pOints out, too, that Vice
President for Academic Affairs Robert
Rossberg (then dean of the Faculty of
Educational Studies) appeared to at least
be aware in I 979-80 of his being subjected .to a shortened time span for
tenure review :-' So did the then VPAA
Ronald Bunn. Bunn suggested that
" renewed consideration mi ght appropriately be given [Grabiner] in
1980-81 . his seventh full year .. .. "
That seventh year review was denied
by· President Robert L. Ketter this
January 13 on recommendation o f
Associate Vice President for Academic
Affairs William Greiner, act ing for nowVPAA Ross berg who stayed out of the
case because of a "potential cannier o f
interest. "

rants -suctf consideration. And, he adds, there's ample precedent. Another individual in FES took three years to complete the dissertation, was brought up
for tenure and promotion, and received
a qualified title for three years. Following that period, that professor achieved
tenure.
Beer with 'The Spe&lt;:trum'
Grabiner ' s beef with campu s
media- The Spectrum, to be specific-is
the "bias" against him which he feels
was inherent in the paper's front-page
article on April 24. The article "opens
with talk of a debate but its general
thrust and content present the administration's position only," Grabiner
argues. He asked the writer to call the
seven faculty who wrote an article in his
behalf in the Reporter, April 16. The
writer "may have done so," grants
Grabiner, but the published account
"doesn' t reflect his interviews with
them ."

He was informed by Jetter by the chairman that he needed " six more arti cles"
in refereed journals to have the amount
considered necessary. By November
1979, he says, he had produced the
quota in "refereed journals, " but not in
journals which Altbac h considered
"established ." Grabiner argues that
"establishment " is wh at Al tbach mea nt.
Thus , claims Grabiner, the chai rman' s
appraisal had to do wi th his own percepti ons o f the prestige of the jou rn als, not
t he scholarly co ntent of the art icles
themselves. u Specious, '' says G rabi ner .
No criteria

Grabiner argues, too, t hat the Social
Foundations Department has no set
criteria anyway for use in tenure decisions. Twenty-eight days before his case
carne up in 1979, he recalls, "they were
talking about naming an ad hoc committee for standards; they were still talking
in 1980. "
His department faculty voted against
him 6-2 last year, but a vote taken this
year was S-4 against. This year's SPF
graduate student vote was 11-0 in his
favor. Altbacb had a faculry vote,
Grabiner notes, although he feels the
chairman clearly represents administration.

scholarly inquiry" and a coherent appraisal of questions raised by the decision fro m " an unorthodox and radical
perspective," · U/ B law professor J . D.
Hyman wrote. Walter Feinberg, professor, Bureau of Educational Research
and the Department of Educational
P o li c y Studies , Univer s ity of
Ill inois-Urbana-Champaign , agreed
th at Grabiner captured some very important features of the case. Bertell
Oilman, Department of Politics, NYU ,
said "there is no question in my mind
that Prof. Grabiner is a fine Marxist
scholar," and Samuel Bowles, a professor of economics at the University of
Massachusetts - Amherst, recalled that
an early pieee by Grabiner on corporate
involvement in elementary and secondary education "predates virtually all of
what has since been termed the new
educational history" and ftlls a major
gap in the history of labor relations.
Grabiner's avowed Marxist political
stance, Bowles warned, means that fair
evaluatiba of -Iris work requires "great
vigilance to ensure the criteria used (e.g.
publication in 'main tine' journals) do
not implicitly enfor):C ideological or
methodological conformity.. . .Where
there is signifiCant doubt as to the ade.quacy of the usual safeguards of objecuve evaluation, an 'appropriate course is
reconsideration," Bowles wrote to
SUNY Chancellor Wharton.

Dr. Rollo Handy, former provost of
FES here, now president of the
Behavioral Research Couni:il, Great
Barrington, Mass., found the same article troubling.
Handy, who served as Grabiner's advocate in late 1979 and 1980, wrote this

Dental stu-d ent is talented glass sculptor
By MARY BETH SPINA
A gnarled tree gracefully bending in the

A mermaid sunning on a reef, ligh.t
sparkling in her long hair.
These are among one-of-a-kind
sculptures in glass created by U/ 8 dental
st udent Robert Teitelbaum.
A graduate student in the Endodonics Program, Teitelbaum has had

glass pieces further enhance their beau·

His creations, which range from six
inches to three feet taU, are a blend of
skill, techniqu&lt; and an.
"Working the glass is a skill , a craft
which can be learned ," he says . Bu t

Personal security number one
concern for dormitory students
According to a recent study , personal
security in residence halls is the most important variablt affecting the quality of
life of U/ 8 dorm students. Also high on
the list are other "basics" such as adequacy of heat, light and hot water,
cleanliness, number of roommates and
convenience to important places.
On the flip sidt, use of alcohol was
considered least important, followtd by
how the Inter-Residence Council performs , check-in and check-out procedures, availability of special interest
living space, and use of illegal drugs.
These conclusions are based on a
study conducted last spring by Dr.
William Conroy, assistant director of
housing. The survey, which used a r.andom stratified sampling of 298 students,
was done as a follow-up to a study conducted by Conroy in 1977 , which also
assessed the quality of residence hall
living.
Participants were asked to indicate.
on a five point scale. how pleasing or
displeasing they found 44 aspects of
dorm life. The second part of each ques·
tion asked students to assume the aspect
was displeasing, and then to indicate
how important. on a five point scale. it
was for them to see it changed .
In a presentation last week at the Environmental Studies Center, Conroy
pointed out that, as in 1977 , students
still find transportation between campuses and freedom to Hve one' s own life
style significant factors .
Displeased about ~portation
Of the 44 variables, studonts showed the
strongest displeasure over inter-campus
transportation services. Other sources of
considerable dissatisfaction include
cooking services, convenience to important places, board contracts, falst fire
alarms, the speed with which repairs are
made and adoquacy of study space; all
these fell within the top 20 on the importance scale. .Studonts also expressed
dissatisfaction over the performance of
the Department of Public Safety on the
Main Street Campus, though they gave
the department a satisfactory rating at
Amhtrst ~ A further analysis of tho
figures suggests that Amherst residents

feel transportatior&gt; to the surrouoding
community-number 21 in importance-is particularly troublesome. On
tb&lt; other hand, Main Str«t Campus
residents feel cooking facilities and
board contracts art mort of a problem .
The survey shows that students seem
most pleased with: coeducational housing arrangements, opportunities to learn
about themselves. exprnses of residence
hall living. proximity of friends, number
of people in residence hall areas, performance of RAs, non-contract food services, and general attractiveness of the
residence halls and the campus.
However, with the exception of proximity of friends, all these variabiCli
ranked on tho bottom half of tho importance scale.
Staff sloOOtld .. ticipate problems
Conroy urged that student personnel
staff be "futuro-oriented" whon planning how to meet student needs. This approach requires a "different mind set,"
he relayed, because rather than responding to problems in a dt facto fashion,
staff must .. anticipate them ." For examplt, Conroy predicted that increasing
gasoline prices an~ bound to affect housing Programs since: more students will be
forced to stay on campus for recreation .
The assistant director believes increased student concern over basic services is reflective of their greater isolation on campus. "When st udents feel
confined, they are more likely to focu s
on the adequacy of their immediare li ving quarters and support services." he
explained. Also, Conroy speculated that
students are beginning to see themselves
more as ••consumers" who feel entitled
to good basic services, especially since
they art paying mort for them.
As opposed to tho 19n survey, Con·
roy says students seem more willing to
forego "some frills," but "with a
shrinking budge!, want full satisfaction
on the basics."
linking quality of life to attrition/Rtention, Conroy concluded by
noting that "the dogree to which a
uiliversity provides quality of lift for its
students, is the degree to which it solves
its retention/attrition problems. ' •

A new report from thci C~trnei\~ tOun·
dation for the Advancement o'f Teaching
claims that general education_in A'merica
is in disarray, but that conditions are
ripe for a national revival.
Entitled "A Quest for Common Learning," the 72-page report was written by
Ernest L. Boyer, foundatio n president
and forme r U.S. commissioner of
education, and Dr. Arthur Levine, U / 8
alumnus and se nior fellow at the roun·
dation .
Boyer and Levine po int out in the
stud y or general ed ucation at the collegiate level that "on ca mpus arter cam·
pus , there is no agreement about the
meaning or a college ed ucat ion" despite
efforts by many institutio ns to revi talize
th eir curriculums . They offer a new, sixpoint approach to general education that
they claim would enabl e student s " to
understand themselves. their societ y,
and the world in which the y live. "
Taking not e or the three uaditional
parts or undergraduate study-t he majo r, e lectives , and general educa·
tion - the authors argue that the first
two ha ve clearly defined purposes while
•
the latter does nol.
"General education, the spare room
in the curriculum , is the easiest place to
dump those co ncerns which everyone
agrees are serious but for which no o ne
.seems to rake responsibility ... . The
variet y of purposes and the lack of a un ifyi ng principle threaten to trivialize the
whole idea."
The new approach to general educa tion outlined in the foundation report
covers six areas-the shared use of sy mbols; s hared m·em~shlp irf groops 'an d
,ins~i,tuti&lt;?n~,; ~ared a~ti.~ities __of .. con~ .

- '
The -a uthors ~uggest 'specific w.rYs in
which colleges a nd un iversities can move
toward establishing effective general
education programs:
• College presidents and deans must be
convi nced of the importance of general
education and, through the allocation of
resou rces, they must make their convictio ns clear.
•Senior teachers must be willing to
teach general educacio n courses on occasion and give rime to comm ittees responsible for developing general education
programs.
•Young facult y should be encouraged
to take general education risks and must
• be protected when they do.
oOutside the university, business and
corporatiO)l leaders must not simply pay
lip ·service to the virtues of common
learning-they must give creilit for
stroni general education rraining When
recruiting students.
oColleges must demonstrate a greater
institutional commitment to gen~ral
education when recruiting new faculty .
•Colleges must be more willina to
bring in-broadly-educated J&gt;!'Oi&gt;le, those
who have nontraditional credentials and who think creatively. •.

general education, " Boyer and_ltevine .

doned them ."

Townsend and co-workers
wrote the major section in
American arts bibliography
By ANN WHITCHER
The publisher doesn't mince words.
Arts in America: A Bibliography.
according to advance material from
Smithsonian Institution Press, is un·
precedented. "Never before has there
been a bibliography of the arts in
America with this scope, coverage, and
indexing."
Notwithstanding possible publisher
hyperbole, the four-volume work edited
by veteran bibliographer, Bernard
Karpel , is impressive. It has been named
a finalist in the general reference
cat~gory of the American Book Awards
competition and twenty-one subject
areas are included: art of the Native
Americans, art of the West , architec·
ture, industrial design and the decorative
arts, painting and sculpture, graphic arts
and photography, film and theater ,
dance and m usic. The work7""' prepared
for the Bicentennial, was needed.
Karpel, former librarian at New York's
Museum of Modern Art, notes that
"none" of the previous "best"
references came "to grips with the ac·
cessible documentation. " Karpel proposed tbe project to the Smitbsonian's
Archives i11 Ameria111 Art some 10 years
ago, received funding and recruited the
individual editors.
One of these is Dr. J. Benjamin
Townsend, UIB professor of English
and a lo oa-time art researcher and
writer, who was asked to edit the section
on 19th century p.intioa. Townsend

served as assistant director of the
Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery
from 1967~8. Despite this credential he
was "astounded and dumbfound~"
when Karpel asked him to take on the
project. After all , he was an English professor, not a "trained librarian
bibliographer , or art historian ." Afte;
Townsend declined on these grounds,
Karpel wrote back, insisting tha t the
U/ B professor do it.
The most comprehensive section
Townsend and co-co mpil ers Carol S.
C ook , fo rmer ass ociate libra ri a n
Uni versity Libra ries; Gary Da yto n, t he~
a grad assistan t in th e English Depa rt ment . and J ohn K. Simo n, U/ B professor of French, have pu t together " the
most fully and comprehensively annotated" sec tion in the book . There are
some 2000 entries on various source
mat~rials ?" l~th century painting, including: h1stones; surveys and cultural
studies; exhibition and collec tion
catalogs; specific regions; themes and
styles and schools ; and special groups of
artms. There' s also a bibliography on
md1V1dual " academic" painters of nineteenth oentury America .
While scholarly thoroughness was the
principal aim, Townsend and his colleagues opted also for a well-written
discussion. " We tried to make our section a routine reference, too,'' says
Townsend, "but readable, genuinely
critical , even entenainifl3."
Added is John Simon's bibliography
on " primitive and vernacular

paintings ." Primitive works are often
two-dimensional, lacking in conventional perspective, etc., says Townsend.
Vernacular painters are more
sophisticated; unlike academic painters,
however, they are largdy self-taught.

Tbe standArd rdenn&lt;r on primitive
psi ali•&amp;
Simon actuall y came late to the project.
"We had a mandate ," Townsend
reporu , " to include primitive and vernacular artists ." But as Townsend and
Cook amassed entries, it became apparent tha t the primitives would have to
be omitted . Happily for Townsend, help
was on rhe way. The English professor
learned that Simon was both a collector
and researcher of American primitives.
" I approached him (Simon) and asked
him if he would do it." The answer was
affirmative: the result is what Townsend

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

MFCSA wants
voice in selection
The Millard Fillmore College Student
Association (MFCSA) is "chagrined and
upset" over their lack of representation
on the Presidential Search Sub committee and over the "attitude" of
U/ B Council Chairman Robert I.
Millonzi concerning them.
The MFCSA representat ives do not
necessarily contend they should have
had a seat on the committee-not that
they wouldn't have liked one. It's just
that they feel they should have been consulted before the committee was annoUriced-if for no more reason than to
inform them of their exclusion. Ideally,
says MFCSA Pres ident Patrick
Helmbre&lt;:ht, , the student seats might
have been assigned not to a particular
constituency such as SA or GSA, but to
st udents a.t large . Then all the student

constituencies on campus-day, evening, graduate and professional-could
have had a voice in picking the students
who '('Ould serve.
Helmbre&lt;:ht and · MFCSA Exe&lt;:Utive
Director Angie Janetakos feel additionally that Millonzi shouldn't have
taken a month to respond to their con-

cems:

Speaking of eating, Rifk in had dinner

"Maybe in a couple of years."

in touch with Dr. Murray M . Block,

deput y to th e C hancellor for Campus
Relation s in Albany who is th e central
adminis trati ve liaison with the search
panel. Block told them that while he is
"sympathe tic" to their ca use, he can
also understand Millonzi's concern for
keeping the comrqittee as small as feasible in order to avoid " leaks ." Block indicated tha t at least two oth er co nstituencies on campus have also been in
touch with him expressing di ssatisfaction over the make-up of the committ ee.

The Reporter has learned that CSEA
Local President Bob Smith, on behalf of
a ll classified service employees on campus, has wr.i tten to Harry Jackson, coordinator of the search panel. to protest
the exclUsion of classified service
representatives from the committee. According to CSEA spokesperson Gerry
Frieday, Smith 's letter went on to note
that the Reporter had said that " the
University community" was to be
represented in the search . "Aren't we
members
of
the
Univer si t y
community?" Ms. Frieday asked.
She said CSEA had asked Jackson if
any remedy was to be made concerning

Pannill reviewed the Main Street

is my contention, that the University

The verdict is in . The U/ B Law School's
Trial Technique Program has once again
·been found "successful" as an opportunity for senior year law students to ~x­
perience the dynamics o f an authentic,
in-session courtroom .
The Trial Technique Program , an annual Law School tradition, was co nducted this past Saturday, bringing
together 110 senior law st udents to do
legal battle over model civil an~ criminal
cases in 28 actual county and c1t y courtrooms, before genuine jurist s~ amo_ng
them State Supreme Court Justices , city
a nd cou nt y judges, a nd town and village
justices.
This yea r's civil case involved the action of a widow against an insurance
company ove r the ques t~on of ~hether
her husband 's death was by acc1dent or
suicid e. The criminal case ce ntered on
charges of criminal solicitation to commit a crime. receiving of stolen goods
and the attempted bribery of a police of·
ficer .
The cigh1-member siUdent tnal teaf!ls.
each und er the guidance of a \ead mg
area trial Iawver, studied the develop·
ment of cases.for the defen se and pro·
sec ution, acquiring legal resea rch experie nce and a skill va luable to every at torney, "techniqu e."
SaiUrday' s trials were the cu lminati on
of a long se meste r of preparation and
practice . The decisions rendered in the
cases were as authentic as the settings
and procedures . Program coordinator
Aaron Weinstein report s that a wide
variety of verd icts were returned in both
the civil and cri minal cases, with a broad
distribution of ci vil cash awards and
both guilty and not guilty determinations on the criminal charges.
Those verdicts were handed down by
28 student juries, composed or nearly
200 volunteers from area high schools
and colleges. Weinstein notes that, with
the age or eligibility for jury service now
set at 18 , the opportunity for young people to experience the drama of a real
counroom through a program like the
Law School's greatl y enhances their willingness and enthusiasm for servi ng when
called. Senior high school st udents from
Buffalo and Kenmore systems participated, as well as pre-law students
from U/ B, Buffalo State, Brock pon,
Daemen and Hilbert.

While many popular "diet" plans
place primary emphasis on caloric intake, DINE gives equal imponance to
adequate daily consumption or nine vital
nutrients in addition to co nsumed
calories.

"A person who receives adequate
amounts of these nutrients daily can be
assured of getting necessary levels or
some SO others," Dennison points out.
Determination of appropriate levels
or the oint nutrients is based upon
recommendations of the U.S. Senate
Select Subcommittee on Nutrition and
Human Needs, !he American Hea rt
Association's Committee on Nutrition
and the National Academy of Sciences.
Easy to follow plan
" DINE is designed to be an easy to
follow self-&lt;:are system which can be
used alone or as a supplement to other
nutritional programs, " says Dennison .
Using DINE as it's outlined in the
associate professor's recently published
book , DINE System: For Bell., Health
and Nutrition. means you are assured
you meet your daily nutritional needs
without taking vitamin and mineral supplements unless they are sp&lt;ci!ically
prescribed by your physician for a particular medical problem .
Not a diet systtm per se, DINE may
be used to improve ont's food selectiOn
process so adequate nutrition is achieved
whether dieting or seelcing to simply stay

Final -action on baseball hoax
awaits finding of Faculty Senate panel
The Universi ty will have no official
statement on the status of Baseball
Coach Bill Monkarsh until after t he
President receives a report from the
Faculty Senate Athletic Committee.
That panel is p resently looking ••into circumstances sun-ounding the erroneous
report ing of a baseball game supposedly
played between the University at Buffalo
and Xavier, Ohio, University on March
10, 1981."
Until the investigatio n and subseq uent
report are completed, Monkarsh has
been suspended from all duties at the
University. In . addition to his role as
baseball coach, Monkarsh is an assistant
professor in the Department of Recreation, .Athletics and Related Instruction .
While no one is willing to speculate
over the outcome of the probe, a highlyplaced administrative source has said the
affair casts a shadow over a pending
proposal for the upgrading of several
U/.B sports to the major, Division I
status. Baseball is currently the only
sport here which competes at the major
level.

A lip
.
An un-named student tipped off Sports
Informalion Djrector Larry St&lt;!'le last
week , that tbe game in .question, SlJP...
posedly the second game of a
doubleheader between UIB and Xavier, ·
was never played although a score and
s~cby statistiCal information had been
Cailed into ·Stede from .florida. Steele
had passed that information on .to tbe
local media and had included the win in
a statisti&lt;:al report to tbe NCAA.
After bein&amp; "tipped," Steele checked
into tbe matter and found that his informant was correct. He issued a release on
April 21 that the game had
erroneously rePorted.
.
On Thursday, April 23, when tbe,
story bit tbe papers, !be.Athletic Depart: ·
ment stated that "disciplinary action
bad been taken" internally. Monkarsh
was quoted in tbe Blifftzlo ~trlfll News
sayina be would remain baseball coacb ·
even thouah be had accepted fuU responsibility for the matter. At that time,
Monkarsh said the calling in of the score
(which Steele ·said was done liy
"someone" from the team-he could
not remember whom) was a "mistake in
judgment. " On Friday, ¥ onkarsb's
suspenSion followed a meeting between
President Robert L. Ketter, Monkarsh,
Dr. Salvatore R. Esposito, chairman of
the Department of Athletics, Recreation
an!l .• ~~ ~~""' _and..:_t;;Jjmun_d

been

T . Muto, direct or of Men 's Inter·
collegiate Athletics . Also present were
U niversity Counsel and legal and U ni o n
representatives on behalf of Monkarsh .
Ketter announced he wa s sending a
formal letter of apology to the Presiden t
of Xavier University . The President also
met with the captains of the baseball
team.
Prior lO Friday's meeting wi th Ketter ,
Es posito had informed Monkarsh that
the baseball team would not be allowed
to accept any post-season to urnament
invitations . This decision was mcide
before the incident was brough t to the
attention of Ketter a t noon on Thurs·
day, April 23.

Jaterim cot1ches
Meanwhile, Mike Groh, a 1978 U/ B
gradua te, and Mike Dixo n , who
graduated in 1977 , (both forrner U/ B
baseball players) have taken ove r
Monkarsh's c;:oaching. duties o n an interim basis.
·
Most · Uhtve"r siiy · officials · and
members of (he team have declined comment. · But speculatiop
the local press
has been that Monkarsh was not initially
res.,O~ib.le fcir reporti'!S . the game.
Members of the team were reported to
be "shocked" and surprised to learn
they had been credited with winning a
game that wasn't pl8yed, some team
members told the Ne"/S. Later, it was
reported that the players as a team were
refusing to talk. On Tuesday, the News
intimated that some of the players had
admitted knowing.about the hoax from
the bt:ainni111.

in

Speculation has been rampant, too, as
to bow tbe incident will affect tbe future
of UIB bueball. A report in the Sunday
COflri6-E1tplus said tbe bueball picture is further clouded by tbe fact (which
tbe COflrier said Montarsb has admitted) that U/B Used a former team
member·, now a profession,l player_with
the Toronto Blue Jays, in ur "ullofflcial
scrimmage" with St. P~burg Junior
Collqe at the Philaddpbia Phillies'
complex in Clearwater, Fla. last month.
Although Monkarsb said the game was
"simply for fun," the St. Petersburg
coach said his team considered it a
regularly scheduled game. And a phoney
name was used for the professional
player in the U/B scorebook, the
CoUrier said .

Direc to r Stee le wa s goi ng to testify to
the Facult y Se na te Co mm ittee that
Mo nkarsh ga ve him fo r hi s reco rd s

" He ad vi sed me th at the gam e wa.s n' t
in th e score book and I should use the info rmation phoned in with o ther info rmati o n he supplied , ·· Steele to ld the
News . Steele was supposed to tell the
comminee, the News said , that a lth oug h
Monkarsh went a long with fabricating
detai ls, he is thought not to be involved
in the origi nal " erro r. "

In defense of Monkarsh
People in the media have come to the
defense of Monkarsh, pointing out his
long involvement in and dedicat ion t o
th e U/ B baseball p[ogram . A pla yer was
quoted as saying that if Monkarsh goes,
"t here goes Division I. " One paper
quoted th e NCAA national statisticS
office as being totally unco ncerned
about the false game report. Nobody
cares about college baseball statistics
anyway, a n NCAA official reportedly
said.
In Saturday's N~ws. Milt Northrup in
his column urged the public to overlook
what be considers a "harrnless" prank .
Talking about college baseball in
general, Northrup wrote, "An error in
your scorebook goes down as a hit in
mine. What is a wild pitch or passed baU
for you goes down as a stolen base for
me. An exhibition game for you turns
out to be a regulation game for me- if I
win. Most of it is nothing but
harmless .... " . Northrup granted,
however, that the fantasizing of games is
"slightly more serious." He said that
UIB and Western New York could take
consolati~ the fact that an evea more
embarrassing situation occurred at a
smaU New E1111and collese as a result of
••creative scorekeepiq" involvina mort
than one game. "Compared to that. the
U/8 .,... looks rather pale," Northrup
said.
.
.. .
The News writer said hoodwinking of
the news media and the public is "not as
great a crime" as tbe potential damage
that may result to all sports here.
Northrup said it would be a "shame for
this foolish incident" to stop a movement toward big time sports.

Some observers argue, though, that
the " shame" is what has happened

In other news , Pannill noted that the
School of Health Related Professions
(HRP) will occupy all of Stockton Kimball Tower , thus bringing together HRP
facilities " as far awa y as the E rie Med

ried student hou sing on Main Street has
been scrapped . said the VP HS. It just
isn ' t feasible , given state budget constraint s. Suc h hou sing calls for " apart·

Pannill urged th e Senate to sc hedule a

It took the Faculty Se nate tw o yea rs to
do so. said Pannill, but once acco mpli shed . senators "were delighted .··
Pannill poin ted o ut that professio nal

Dean Foster answers his UUP 'fan mail'
Editor:
If you will indulge one response to my
fan mail appearing in your April 23
issue, I promise to shut up (at l~t for a
while).
Although it is very hard, I shall resist
the temptation to belabor. the shortcomings of UUP. I suspect, anyway, that
there is a fair amount of common
ground on those shortcomings among
Profs. Allen and Diesing and me. [Prof.
Good's position is less clear, but at least
his reference to our bargaining with
PERB should not go uncorrected. We
don't; PERB is only the referee. He confuses it with tht Governor's Office of
Employee Relations .~ Our differences
relate to the 'best way to change' direction . It is ·possible that a victory by the
Reform Caucus w(luld go a long way
toward allaying my dissailsfaction with
the UUP, but it's not clear to me wh y
that · hope is any less a " Oyer" than a
change of bargaining agents. I still
would like to see the evidence that even a
"reformed" UUP will prove beller at
representing and advancing our intereSts
than the NEA . To elaborate:
I . It 's still an open qu estion whether
the RefOrm Caucus is going anywhere
within UUP . We'll know more o n
May 9.
2. Even if the Reform Ca ucus
prevails, it 's not clear what will change
beyond the cast of characters. For example, we hear lots of noise abo ur Article
35. Does an yone reall y believe that
UUP's inability to amend that provision
stems wholly from the ineptitude of its
current leadership? Or that the lousy
salary settlements in recent years cou ld
have been improved by more effective or
aggressive negotiators? Regardless of
who sits on our side of the table, there
are people on the other side of the tabl e
who have rpasons for taking the positions they do. Yes, Virginia, collective
bargaining outcomes result from a clash
of interests , not from 11 con test in
cleverness, and the-interests that prevail
are those that are favored by the balance
of power. Professor Good worries that
our weakness stems from the lack of
membership and challenges to UUP ,
allowing 1he State to as.k. "Why should
we listen to you, you who can't get your
own 'house in order? " Does he really
think that if we had 100 percent
membership and no challenge the State's
negotiators would be too obtuse to come
up with aAifferent line?

knowledge of how this industrial model
works in industry, and there is nothing
in even the most centralized industrial
unions that precludes a significant role
for local organizations . This role includes more than staffing an office; it
m~ans negoriating local supplements to
the- general agreement. Is it seriously
contended that all procedures and standards that are sensible for Plattsburgh
and Morrisville are necessarily sensible
for us? I don't deny that man y of our
terms and conditions of employment
have to be established statewi de , but I
do submit that even within such co n·
straints there is much that can be do ne
locally .
Some decentralization of bargaining ,
authorit y , is, in my judgment , both
healthy and rea listi c. How might it come
about? -Certainly not from the present
leadership of UUP. Such decentralization was a major NEA plank in the last
election. Can we believe them? Wh o
knows, but at least we were hearin g the
right noi ses. How about the Reform
Caucus'? Again , there a re the ri ght
noises , but spoken too softl y for my
taste . Take for example the most recent
iss ue of The Voice. in which Reform
Caucus candidates offered statement s.
Read those statements ca re fu ll y. You'll
see passi ng reference to decentralization
here and there, but hardly the kind o f
emphasis it deserves.
Any election is a gamble . Profs. Allen
a nd Diesing urge that we ' re better off
putting our money o n their horses. and
that the var ious costs of an election
outweigh the meager probability of an

3. Finally , a few words on what Prof.
Allen calls "the issue of futility." First ,
a 60-40 margin may be decisive in a
presidential election; it is hardly decisive
in a representation election in a wi dely
dispersed unit wit h an incumbent on the
ballot. Second , Prof. Allen persists in
chara c ter izing UUP ' s increased
membership as a sign of st rength. That
would be true only if the new members
did n 't have to be t8J&lt;ed into joining . As
for the hypothesis that the continued
non-membership o f S,&lt;XX&gt; ·pe rso ns is at·
tributable to ignorance or apath y, as the
wag said , "l don't know and I don't
care." It is an unlikely conjecture-fill·
ing our an appl ica ti on card just isn' t that
much of a bother-and, in any event,
Prof. Allen ca n't have it both ways. He
can ' t imply that a decision o f thousands
to join is based on a new. fou nd love for
UUP, but a decision of thousands not to

join stems from the unavailability of a
pencil.
,
Prof. Allen's " more pertinent question" of now many SUNY employees
belong to NEA is reallY not pertinent at
all. What is pertinent is how many
would vote for NEA if given the chance .
The answer may be not too many,
especially if voters take to heart Profs.
Allen and Good's attempts to demean
that organiZation. I nave lio special brief
for the NEA, but neither do I give much
credence to the atiacks on it. Both Prof.
Allen and Prof. Good malce reference to
NEA 's dominance by schoolteacher
types, an observation of truly breathtaking disingenuousness. Who do they
think constitutes the bulk of the
membership of NYSUT (UUP's parent)
or the AFT (NYSUT's parent)? Where
do the priorities of Tom Hobart
(NYsun or AI Shanker (AFT) lie? If
you want to be ripresented by a n
organization that has a special
knowledge of an interest in _u niversity
teachers, you 're out of luck. But, says
Prof. Allen , NEA is just a bunch of
"outsiders." (I ' m glad he didn ' t say
"outside agitators" .) Come now. Who
are the insiders'? How much of
NYSUT's paid staff' oomes out of
SUNY? I agree with Prof. Diesing that
" we would still have to build up the new
.-union." But it's one thing to build a
union when your only adversary is the
State; it's something else when you
have to fight your own organization as
well.

No 'slave labor' in English, Fradin writes
Editor:
Despite continuing losses of instruc·
tiona! lines. the Department of English
has managed to add 30-40 sections of
writing to its instructional respon·
sibilities. The Department has done so
because it is committed to General
Education and because it has a se nse of
obligation to the st udents admitted to
SUNY Buffalo.
We have taken on the extra burdens at
some cost. But let me set the record
straight on two points: though we do
not , in principle, like to give our

Wut's tile dlffere~~ee!·
So what's the diffe~nce? I think there is
one. The single most damaging sin.of the
UUP has been its failure to establish a
significant presence at the campus.level.
This is by no means .to-denigrate the ef~
forts of Prof. Allen and his colleagues; it
is ~ ' to ~xpres$ dismay at UUP 's
refusal to giv~ these admirable peoJ?Ie
something sigltificajn to·do. Ptof: Diesing COJI!p18lhs that-tbe ineumbent regime

said before that you should decide on
the basis of whether you are perfectly

are persuaded that UUP has represented
our interests acceptably well, or if you
are persuaded that there is a reasonable

Seven more professors
support Grabiner's cause
Editor:
The undersigned have had an opportunity to study the particulars of the Gene
Grabiner case, as oullined by the seven
professors from the Faculty of Educational Studies in the Reporter of
4 / 16/ 81. Some of us have also gone
through Professor Grabiner's entire
dossier. We are unanimous ly of the
opinion that the University wo uld be
doing Professor Grabiner a grave in·
justice by terminating his career at this
point , without giving him additional
time to establish further credentials as a
scholar. We therefore endorse the proposal that Professor Grabiner be given a
qualified rank for the next two years,
followed by a review of his application
for tenure . This could hardly harm our
University , while any irrevocable
measures that have a taint of unfairness
o.bout them would have a very bad effect
0
upon our institution .

Hatching chick is
syQ1bol of recruitment
The c:ballenge was to aeSign a U IB
recruitment poster around the theme,
"A Gtut Way to Begin Your Fu~!."
selected by the Office of Admissions and
Records as its "campaign slogan" for
the 198I-82 recruitment season.
The winner: Bob Fucinato; a senior in
Communications Design, who conc~ .the idea .of a baby chick hatching
out of a UIB t;ig m· the forefront af. a
whole army of eggs. The eye-catching,
black, white and ·yellow poster was
selected from over a dozen entries by a
panel of ten judzes, including
administrators. cotnmunity represen·
tatives, faculiy and students.
Currently interning as an director at
Westwood Pharmaceuticals, Fucinato
bas done pbotosraphy and graphics
work for TM S[J«lrum and is originally
from Binghamton, New York.
The award-winnin_g designer submitted a rough rendition of his idea for the
contest (see photo). The finished product
he insists, will feature a
phot~graph of a live chick wearing a tiny
mortarboard.
Second prize in the competition was
taken by Bill Sorrell who also has done
production work for The Spectrum. Sorrell, from Lyon Mountain, New York, is
interning this semester at Faller, Klenk

and Quinlan Advertising Agency and
does free-lance work for individuals and
firms in the area.

Editor:
The front page article in The S~ctrum
of April 24 on Assistant Professor Gene
Grabine r entit led "Controversy Erupts
as Marxist Professor is denied Tenure"
was a disappointment. The article is
basically about bureaucratic struggles,
not about substance. Faculty members
in my department have been promoted
with a shorter list of publications than
Professor Grabiner's . The issue is
evaluation of quality, not quantity .
Professor Grabiner's 55·page article
.. The Bakke Decision: hs Unconstitu·
tionality and the Intensification of
White Supremacy in Higher Education "
in Research in Political Economy is the
si ngle most important article I have seen

Third prize went to Rebecca Bernstein. another artist with a Spectrum affiliation (she was art director for two
years and now serves as a contributing

editor). Ms . Bernstein is setting up her
own design studio in Buffalo.

awarded to Kevin Pratt and Deborah

Editor:
The letter by the seven professors in the
School of Education supporting Gene
Grabi ner could have been written by all
of those who know the story. An in·
telligent, bright, activist professor gets
dumped because his department does
not like his politics. All of the arguments
that I have seen from those who have
reviewed Dr. Grabiner 's work
demonstrate one thing conclusively: He
is the victim of academic preju'dice. The
fact that his research questions the basis
of the current educational philosophy
with respect to pluralism is at the hear1
of the matter.
I am certainly not convinced tha t the
committee, deans, vice presidents, and
faculty members who reviewed his case
believed the publication argumen1. Yet it
has been reported that the lack of
publications is the chief argume01
against Gene Grabi ner . Given the fact
that he was hired in 1974 without the
doctorate, one only has to look at his
record since completing the doctorate to
see that his publication rat e compares
favorably with the most prolific teachers
in the School of Education. Indeed.
Gene Grabiner nas been abi&lt;: to pu blish
in outstanding journals despite the bias
many editors hold against Marxist
analysis. To me this is a dear case of
railroading a young assistant professor
oul of the University and I am in support of those who have called for President Ketter to review his case.

students comprise approximately 20 per

argued for a seat fO&lt; them.
In his response on April 17, Millonzi
pointed out that both Joseph Rifkin and
Peter Murphy (the SA and GSA
representatives respectively) have a:·
pressed a strong desire "to involve as
many students as possible in a discussion
of the future of the University and the
qualities needed in a new president. I
suggest that you contact these gentlemen
to ensure that Ihe views of MFC students
are represented," Millonzi wrote.

The MFCSA representatives wrote-to
Millonzi March 17 advising the chairman of their views on the siluation.
"U nlike the undergraduate and
graduate programs.'' the letter signed by
Helmbrecht said, "the fate of continuing education on this campus is not a
given right. Since the future of the
University lies with the expansion of
adult continuing education sludents, as
indicated by national trends, it is critical
that we have a president who has the
sehsitivity and background so as to respond to the growth of continuing
educati~These should be two of the
major criteria in the selection of the new
president."

Not tile same as f•ll represe•tatlo•
Both Rifkin and Murphy have expressed
their willingness to take MFC and their
concerns into account , and Janetakos is
serving on a student committee currently
discussing what the goals of the University should be. That , however, is not lhe
sa me as being fully represented,
Janetakos and Helmbrecht contend.

MFC needs •~ diff•~nt
SA and GSA repre s ent a t ives.
Helmbrecht argued , "cannot act in the
best interests of MFC students sim ply
because they generally are traditional
students. They have not had the respon sibilities of fuU.time employtnem , family and academic commitments as M FC
students have had . Consequentl y it is
difficult for them to assess the needs of
MFC studenrs."
Helmbrecbt pointed ou t that evening

They are concc:med that a new presi·
dent may not be as sympathetic to a
separate co ntinuing education entity on
this campus as President Ketter has
been. MFC is currently unique within
the SUNY system . In all other SUNY
units, non·traditional students are
lumped together with all the rest , and
appear !O get lost in the shuffle. The
MFCSA' leaders seek assurance that any
candidate for the presidency here is committed to the continuation.. of separa1e

Borst thinks early man
knew about geometry
before discovering fire
BJ UNDA GRACE-KOBAS
Homo Erectus, a species that lived 2.S
million to 100,000 years aso and is considered to be the direct ancestor of
mod!'fll humans, utilized geometrical
relationships in triangles one million
years ago, even before discovering how
to use fu:e, a U/B professor theorizes.
"My studies show that the most
primitive geometry is present in these
hand axes, although in small number, at
an early date," Lyle Borst said of implements found at an archaeological site
at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. "Pythagorean triplets are then very ancient indeed. They were apparently discovered
by Homo Erectus perhaps one million
.
years aso.••
Borst has completed an extensive
study o f the literature on prehistoric remains found at Olduvai as well as at
other sites in Africa and France and has
concluded that ROmo Erectus was producing implements, mostly hand axes,
which indicate that mathematical rei ationships were "recognized and exploited."
Among hundreds of stone implements
unearthed at Olduvai by Louis and Mary
Leakey were some which were '~uniform
in size, very uniform in workmanship
and geometrically the same," Borst
noted. By analyzing the ' geometrical
relationships irY selected hand axes,
Borst revealed the use of Pythqorean
triplets.
·
Pytllqoreaa triu&amp;Je
A Pythqoren triangle is one which conforms to the theorem which the Greek
philosopher Pythagorus proved around
SilO BC: The square of the length of the
hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the
sum of the squares of the lengths of the
other two sides (a 2 + b' = c'). Using this
general rule, it is possible to constru ct an
objtct within a main axis and sy mmetrical sides.
From the evidence observed at the
Olduvai site, Borst concludes, "Our
predecessors in the Mousterian
(Neanderthal) and Acheulean (Homo
Erectus) seem to have studied
mathematical relations between integers
at a date approximately one ·million
years aso. They were already using a
relatively unifonri unit of length which
may well have come down to us as the
Egyptian palm of 117 cubit. "
Remains of Homo Erectus have been
found in Africa.· Asia and Europe. This
species lil(ed durin&amp; the middle
Pleistocene Epoch and may have existed
from SOO,OOO to I million years. Most
scientists have placedllhmO"Erectus as a
"transitiobal" form of human, one in
whieh the conversion from an intelligent
animal to a thinking, planning, imqin·
ing and speaking human was made.
Maaud8ear......,
While Louis Leakey has written, "The
characteristic which distinguished man
from !near-man' is the nlaking of" tools
to a set and regular -pattern," Borst has
suuested a more rigorous definition:
"The · making of tools to a j&gt;redetermined geometrical pattern psing a
uniform standard of lensth."
Tbe discovery of a Homo Erectus
braincase at Olduvai in 1961 provided
the most convincing evidence for the ex·
isteoce and ' uniqueness of the ·species .
The site is puode up of layers of Homo
Erectus remains· frozen in time by the
depostion of as6 from ta "convenient ..
volcano, Bbrst said. His study focused
on im~erits found at various levels of
this·site, the oldest of which is dated at
more than 1.S million years.
Borst said earlier Homo Habilis made
very pritititive "choppers," hard rocks
with one edge chipped away for sharpness. Sliahtly less than I .S million years
1180, habd axes appeared suddenly. Dr.
Borst ~ with --Louis Leakey that an
"invasion" .of another groUp occurred
at about this time with the invading

Meq &lt;'l. llthic So ft wa re

group introducing the more complex im·
plements. Axes found in northern
France were chipped in the same way as
they were in Africa, but there is no
evidence ·to indicate the invasion came
from that direction, Borst noted .
Toob werea't ror aD pllrpooa
Homo Erectus did not make symmetrical hand axes for all purposes,
Borst said.
"'If the ax was to be used for hunting,
he didn't bother," Borst explained. " He
just chipped out a sharp edge."
But the " elegance" of panicular
specimens indicates that some were used
for a special purpose, he stated .
" Thousands of chipped instruments
we re fo und at Olduvai, most ro ugh ," he
said . "But some are so fine and elegant,
requiring far more effon than needed
for use as hunting tool s. Experts in the
field say that 200 of these tools might be
chipped to get o ne perfect one."
Borst believes magic was in volved in
the use that Homo Erectus pu t these
special implements to because of the
numerical relationships .
" An and mathematics, both dealing
wit h religion , played a part in this," he
said .
Borst developed his theory by taki ng
ca reful measurement s of chosen implements, all of which were lo ng ovals
wit h one end pointed and the ot her
rounded. He divided them in half acco rding to their long axes and measu red
the triangles formed with the points.
He fo und IS cases where the triangles
measured 3, 4, 5, a perfect Pythagorean
tri plet, and four that measured 5, 12, 13 .
"'This had to be purposeful, .. Borst
said. "We found no halves or third sno th ing between these values. The
design had to be laid o ut in advance, acco rding to their unit of measure, t hen
c hip ped away to a preconceived
design .''
The unit of measure utili zed was the
width of the hand or palm, Borst said .
" This makes se nse according to func tio n."

' Megalithic Sortware'
Borst has been studying the use of
Pythagorean principles by primitive peo·
pie for several years . He has established
that Neanderthal man livi ng 40,000
yea rs ago made use of the theorem when
la yi ng out campsi tes. He said he
discovered hand axes as a way of look·
ing at triangles last December; formerly
he had looked only at sites, having investigated campsites, temples and cities
in Europe, Great Britain, Africa , Russia
and the Near and Far East. This work
has been described in his qook ,
Megalithic Software.
.
"Geometrical relationships are found
from Ireland to Japan , from Scandinavia to Africa and appear in the!New
World," Borst said. " The same unit the megalithic yard-is used in all these
places . The Incas in Peru used · th is
measurement exactly as it was used in
England and Ireland."
Borst believes early humans traveled
across a land bridge where the Bering
Strait now lies and carried these principles with them in the form of an oral
tradition, mixed with mag ic and
religion.
"The New World was probably
discovered .a dozen times before CoJum·
bus," he said . "Most of the early inhabitants came from the Orient, since
Mexican temples are spitting images of
temples found in Thailand and Cam·
bodia."
Borst's theories about the uS. of
Pythagorean triplets form the
"quintessence" of a course he is offering next semester (Physics 133),
"Science and Techn·otogy in
Prehistory." He'll also discuss the ways
in which the pyrall)ids, Greek temples
and other early structures were
designed, ·

Report urges drug center
for the Lower West Side
A study of the growing drug abuse problem in the local Hispanic community
conducted by U/ B researchers recom mends establish ment on Buffalo's
Lo~r West Side of a drug abuse center
and outreach program staffed by
dedicated, bili ngual professionals.
Kenneth Roger s a nd Rita Clare
recently cOmpleted the study with
cooperation from members of the
Spanish·speaki ng comm unit y. The pro.
ject was funded by the State's Division
of Substance Abuse. Rogers and Clare
are with U/ B's Communi ty Services and
Re sea rch Development Program
affiliated with the Department of S~al
an d Preventive Medicine.
The U/ B survey of the Hispanic community, which included former and current drug users , also pointed up a need
for a vigorous, well publicized education
and drug abuse prevention program .
Such a program should be aimed at current users as well as at teens and iheir
parent s , the study recommends .
Hispanic teens undet 19 currently com .
pose. approximately S6 per cent of the
local Spanish-s peaking population .
Also recommended were a Hispanic
community-based advisory board for
the proposed center and the development of programs which address
under.lying problems of drug abuse.
'• Lack of jobs, low educational and
occupational status, and isolation
culturally from the Buffalo community
at large all have contributed to the
growing drug problem among local
Hispanics, " say Rogers and Clare.
Additionally, Hispanics feel their lack of
political clout has hindered them.
"As a new and struggling minority,
Hispanics are facing these and other
problems and are beginning to work
'-«lgether for solutions," Rogers
emphasizes.
While the study showed some drug
abusers from the Hispanic community
have sought help from centers at Buffalo
General Hospital, Sisters of Charity and
others, the numbers served at those locations indicate that large nuJObers have
not gone for treatment. Many cum:nt
and ex-drug users said they did not know
where to go for help with their problem .
Most indicated t~y wo_ukl go to a
community-based center if it were
available, but noted they .wanted it also
to be a place "where someone would
listen" to them.

While the majority of Buffalo's
Hispanic community (most of whom are
Puerto Rican.) live on the Lower West
Side and certain census tracts in the C it y
of Lackawanna, migration into other
sections of the community - is tak ing
place.
"Therefore," says Rogers, "any drug
ab use center aimed at this population
must also have a co mprehen sive
outreach program . ••
In order for a drug abuse center
specifically desi&amp;ned to aid Hispanics to
succeed, it must be staffed by highl y
motivated, dedicated bilingual professionals who ~ - truly interested in
serving their clients, rhe study recommends.
""But efforts to help users kick the
habit will not be .enough unless programs an also initiated in job training,
employment and development of selfrespect," the two U/B researchers
caution.

The . ~ 'targe ti ng" process is continuing
right riow, said McGovern . John Dolan,
t hairman of the National Conservative
Political Action C ommittee, is already
working on those senators-including
Ted Kenned y-whom the right wants to
get in 1982. That same Mr. Dolan,
McGovern said, ..., blustered that
"image," not issues is the important
factor in · the new politics. He and his
confederates keep repeating their
charges-no matter how bizarre-over
and over again. In South Dakota, for example,· they· aired 72 radio commercials
against McGovern each day and broadC85t TV·attaclcs 200 times a· week during
the campaign. There are only 700,000
people in the entire. state. " With tactics
of this kiod, we could elect Mickey
Mouse," Do lao once boasted .
McGovern congratulated him " for
keeping his word."

Americans for Com mo n Sense
McGove rn is developing a new liberal
coalitio n called Americans fo r Common
Sense . The move ment hopes to aurac t
Americans of all persuasio ns who are
co ncerned about un fa irness and threat s
from t he right wing. It will be a grass
roo ts co un ter·force to th e nega tivism of
the New Right. o ne whic h will think
throug h answers to majo r political questions. McGovern said he hopes to inspire
peo ple 10 re turn t o the nurt uring ideals
that gave birth to this nat ion 200 years
ago.
What are we to mak e o f a situatio n,
McG overn as ke d , where a se)f.
important group with a pumped-up
name such as " the Christian Voice" can
issue "report cards" on the " mo ral"
stances of elected representatives a nd
ha ve some gullible members of the electorate accept such rankings as " gospel."
J ust look at the '"moral issues your ·
representati ves were being rated on ,"
McGovern suggested . One wa.S the ERA .
If you voted/or equal rights for women,
you lost ten points on the " morality"
scale. If you backed the Panama Canal
treaty, you lost another ten. " I don't
think the Panama Canal is even menti oned in the Bible," McGovern complained . Instead, Jesus · seemed more
concerned with feeding the hungry,
visiting· prisons and talting care of the
sick, programs which if you support today will bring down your score on the
" moral test." Needless to say.
McGovern · ended up with a zero.
MassachusettS Congressman Robert F .
Drioao, the only Jesuit priest io Congress, also scored zero. Yet, a Congressman now- under indictment in the
ABSCAM .bribery case was judged II;&gt; be
100 per cent "moral."

El Salvador resister
paints picture of a
'slaughtering' junta
By PAUL SIEPIERSKI
'' In 1975 , I participated in a demonstrati on. I was a st udent just like you. My
sociology class endorsell'l-a demonstration protesting the occupation by the
military of the University Branch in Santa Ana (Province).... The military
had ... shot two studen ts .. ..
" We painted banners and made
placards, pretty IJlUCh the same way you
do it... And we went out on the streets in
downtown San Salvador.
" The military repressed th e
demonstration. TwO-hundred students
got shot that day , 94 died on the spot ....
But the shocking reality to me was that
one of those 94 was my girlfriend .
.. . Half of the class did not come back ,
(they) went straight to the morgue ....
" But that wa sn't all .... The
Salvadoran military occupied the university .... The Salvaaoran National Guard
ca me ri'nd took our professor way, and
they arrested the whole Political Science
Department and· the whole Sociology
Department and the whole Economics
Department .. ..
"And as I was coming out of the
shock of seeing them being arrested , I
looked to my side, and saw the
Salvadoran military going into the
library and pulling out cartfuls of
boo ks , dumping them in the backyard ,
and burning them."
Mario Velasquez, now a junior-college
teacher, union member, and spokesperson for the Revolutionary Denrocratic
Front (FOR) of his native El Salvador,
brought that reminiscern:e of a day at the
university, Centr.al American style,
when he talked to about ISO students in
Haas Lounge recently.
Tile ollprdly
Velasquez reported that an oligarchy of
14 families has owned 90'1o of El
Salvador's arable land since the Spanish
colonists gave up control of the country
in 1821. The oligarchy drafted a constitution to suit its own interests, and
members of these families have remained the dominant political figures
since then, tightly monopolizing the production of coffee beans, El Salvador's
principal cash crop.

Starting in the '40's, every kind of opposition was labeled "Communism," he
said, With that "code word·" being used
to procure tremendous U .S. economic
and military aid to further entrench the
oligarchy,
In the lll!i()'s, -opposing Salvadorans
began -organizing underiround, forcing
the gov~t to allow participation in
elections, with political parties, commit-

tees, .an4 rona,ms;
But, "Every election was met with .
fraud," said Velasquez. "By the end of
the '60's we

church groups, ci ty dwellers, ma rket
sellers, many poor and unemployed , and
others-a u massive incorpOration of
people into revolutionary ranks, •• he
summarized.
By contrast, he emphasized, the junta
is not a centrist government caught
between the extremes of Left and Right ,
as it is often depicted . He said there are
"only two ext remes in our country: extreme poverty and ext reme wealth."
"Can a centri st government kill
17,000 people in 14 months?" he
demanded , sayi ng that the junta , pre·
sided over by Jose Napoleon Duarte.
killed that many Salvadorans in the year
and two months after it seized power in
October, 1979 .
Last month, he said , the mil ita ry
killed still another 1500 villagers 'who
tried to nee troops by hiding in caves.
After U.S.-built " Huey" heli copters
tracked th em down , Velasquez charged,
the National G ua rd pitched suffoca ting
smo ke bombs and tear gas into the
caves, and machine-gunned the people
when they rushed out for air.

"This is the effect o f ... U.S. military
aid to El Salvador." cried Velasquez.
" This is exactly what your taxes a re
financing. " The incident was reported in
the Boston Globe, he said , as well as in
the London Times a nd the Mexica n
press.
The junta-who rules!
Velasquez characterized Presi dent
Duarte as a powerless "figurehead ," a
"facade" for the real power held by
Army colonels Jose Garcia and Jaime
Abdul Gutierrez. He said Garcia and
Gutierrez ''command the military.'' and
are "directl y responsible for th e
genocide in our land ."
He described the government as
chronically unstable, with its officials
resign ing and being replaced o ne after
another. He said the U.S . State Department represents the junta's interests in
Europe, because the junta is afraid its
own emissaries, if sent abroad, "might
resign in the middle of _negotiations. "
Tbere are two reasons the United
States is " involved in our country
today," charged Velasquez. "One is
that they want to establish a military
presence in the Caribbean basin , and
that includes Central America. And,
second, they want to build a wall against
Communism, and isolate Cuba and
(socialist) Grenada from Central
America.''
He added that a· successful revolution
that did away with social inequities in El
Salvador would be viewed as a serious
threat to billions . of U.S: corporate
dollars invested in neighboring
Guatemala and Honduras.

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

                    <text>We now have
teaching policies
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
After debate degenerated into nitpicking, the Faculty Senate approved an
amended set of guidelines Tuesday
which deal with instructional responsi bilities to undergraduate student s.
The statement, endorsed by the Student Association and the Senate's
Academic Freedom and Responsibilit y
Committee, was meant as a "reference
point" for faculty regarding standards
for cenain classroom practices.
Under the new guidelines-which an
SA handout stated do "little more than
spell ou t a legal requirement" of the
State Depanment of Education-faculty
must make course outlines available at
the beginning of each semester which
"clearly state" course requirements,
academic content, grading policy and
office hours. Course requirements include mention of anticipated papers and
tests as well as policies on homework, attendance, lab assignments, clinical performance, etc. Academic content refers
to those things for which students are
held .. accountable," such as required
reading, films, fieldtrips, etc.
5e¥OB poiJdes
The guidelines list seven policies fac ult y
are "expected to recognize." They are:
I. Criteria for the grading of papers
should be made explicit before the paper
is due, and the formats for the examinations should be made explicit prior to
their administration.
2. All corrected papers and examinations should be available for review by
students. If a student believes that an error has been made, he or she should be
able to consult with the instruct or and
receive an explanation .
3. Regular class meetings are to be
held at the time and on the campus listed
in the SARA schedule, unless changed
with unanimous consent of the entire
class.
4. Final examinations are to be of·
fered as officially scheduled, not during
the final week of classes.
S. Instructors are expected to meet

Trustees
'officially'
hike rates
The State University Trustees officially
approved a proposal to increase tuition
beginning with the 1981 -82 academic
year, during their Wednesday meeting.
The increase, which ranges from SISO
per year for undergraduate in-State
students to $1460 per year for out-ofState Medical, Dental and Optometry
students, was proposed and received
preliminary approval by the Executive
Committee of the Board in February.
Also approved in February was a
SUNY request to the Governor to
amend the now fo ur-weeks-overdue Executive Budget so' that additional
revenues realized by the increase would
be allocated for purposes identified by
SUNY .

classes on time and for the number o f
hours scheduled in SARA and to cover
appropriate academic material.
6. Instructors should create an en ronment that discourages cheating on
papers and examinations whene ver
possible.
7. Instructors should keep in mind
their responsibility for assuring high
academic standards in the work o f
students .
Most of the debate centered around
items 3 and 4. One Senator questioned
whether or not the clause concerning
fi nal exams would make it mandatory to
give them , while another pointed out
that the University doesn't have the
space to offer all its exams in a one· week
period, as suggested in the clause .
After a number of other co mments,
Senate Chairman Norman Solkoff, in an
attempt to limit bickering over word
changes, recommended that the Senale
endorse the essence of the guidelines bu t
leave the fine-tuning to the Committ ee .
The guidelines, Solkoff explained , were
envisioned as a .. stan " to a mu ch
stronger statement that would include a
"code of ethics" for fa cult y. Originall y,
Solkoff had hoped the Co mmi ttee
would develop the code this year, but its
chairman , Edward Duryea, reported
that Comminee members decided not to
address the task. Although they di scussed the situation, members al so
declined to make any investigation into
st udent complaints about unorthodox
faculty behavior and classroom practices
and the extent to which any " negl ec t "
exists in instruction-related areas.
Complaints on clause 3 varied. One
Senator thought that trying to obtain
consent of the entire class before any
changes are made, would be close to im possible, particularly in large classes . By
contrast , Senator Robert Pope felt that
if a change inconvenienced even one student it shou ldn' t be made. Some
Senators expressed concern that the
la nguage of the clause made it too
restrictive. Management Professor Janet
Trice, for example, argued that it co uld
prohibit deviations for scheduling of experiential exercises or special projects,
while another Senator objected because
the clause made no provisions for accommodation of handicapped faculty or
guest lecturers.

Dangers may lark
Senator Stuart Shapiro cautioned colleagues thai the clause might cause so me
future unintended hassles for faculty.
He reminded Senators of a siluation at
the University of Wisconsi n where faculty pay was withheld from those who initiated changes in class schedules . The
implication was I hat the same could happen here.
After the intent and thrust of the
clause was re-.explained and given support by a numb:fr of faculty, a motion to
delete it was defeated, and the Senate
gave its approval to the entire statement.
Wit h no debate, the Senate also put
U/B on record, along with 18 other
schools and a scattering of journals and
societies, in opposing new federal
regulations which make it mandatory
for faculty to document the amount of
time and effort they spend on federall yfunded research projects.

The Senate resolution was based· on
o ne passed last spring by the National
Academ y o f Sciences which objected to
porti ons of OMB Circular A-21 on
gro und s that it wou ld "constrain the
alread y lim ited flexib ilit y in research
thru st, inc rea se the administra tive
burden, reduce nfbrale ... and provide a
cumbersome and meaningl ess documen tation in term s of percentage o f effort
for a co ntinuum of sc holarl y acti vities."
The resolution was offered by the
Senate's Research and C reative Ac tivities Committee .

Law , a nd would be defended by the Attorney General ' s Office.
Presidenl Ketler , however, warned
that the Attorney General's Office does
not give .. blanket coverage" but decides
cases on an individual basis . He aJso
noted that although SUNY is often the
prime target of civil suits because of its
monetary positio n, faculty can also expect to get named. If faculty get served
with papers, Ketter said, hi s office, in
order to be of any assis tan ce, must be
notified wirhin 48 hou rs .

As part of its charge, 1he same Co mmittee investigated the liabilit y of faculty in claims or suits filed agains t them.
Professor Judith Van Liew, chairperson
of the panel, relayed that faculty , work ~
ing within the scope of their employment

Solkoff schedules sessions
with faculty concerning search
In an allempt. to facilitate faculty input
in the Presidential search process, Faculty Senate Chairman Norman Solkoff announced that he has made arrangements
with representatives from each facuhy to
discuss what they believe'C4e mission of
the University should be over the next
five to ten years, and whal they perceive
as desirable characteristics for U/B's
next presidenl .
Deans from each faculty are responsible for calling the special meetings which
will be attended by Solkoff or one of
two other membe.-. of the Presidential
Search Subcommittee.
:rhe first meeting is scheduled at the
end of the month with the School o f
Engineering. The sessions will conclude
May 21 with the Dental School. Notes
will be taken at each, Solkoff relayed, to
e n s ure that salient po in t s are
remembered and conveyed during the
consultative process .

If necessary, Solkoff said that he is
prepared to meet with individual faculty
or smaller groups who wish to have input.
After two weeks of discussion,
Solkoff, Law Professor Jacob Hyman
and Communications Professor Molefi
Asante were selected by the Senate Execulive Committee to reprt:Sent the
facult y on the Search subcommittee.
The men were selected from a list of 17
nominees put forth by the Committee.
Eventually the list was pared down to 12
nominees who were . rank ordered.
Solkoff said he did not participate in any
discussion involving his nomination.
The chairman said he is also accepting
nominations from faculty for the
presidency. Each nomination musl include a brief description of the individual and a justification for the
nomination.

While surgical removal of the tissue is
routinely done immediately after a burn
injury, it is often difficult to separate
healthy 'tissue from that which is
irreparably .damaged . Po s tpo n ing
debridement until the distinction is more
evi den t can give the bacteria a headstart .
A whirlpool. or shooting jets of water
under pressure , is o ften used two week s
after init ial surgi ca l debrideme nt for further removal of nee•o tic ti ssue. But it is
not used immediatel y after injury
because of its tendency to push the
bacteria further int o the ti ss ues where it
can more easil y enter the b loodstream .

Dr. Russell W. Besselle, head of !he
U / B research team , compared the mortalit y rates and hi stology o f new tissue in
four groups o f rat s wh ich received small

70 per cent survival rate compared with
50 per cenl for lhe Silvadene and conlrol
groups. The whirlpool group had only a
ten per cent survival rate. Each group
contained ten animals.
While the connective tissue grew
faster and the epithelium slower than
normal in the ultrasound group, Bessette
notes this histologic change may not be
undesirable. T issue regrowth in the

l.i koudis charged.
He attacked Christensen 's view tha
sex uality should be ta ught to older people as well as young, saying, it would
lead to "old men and wo men ge ttin g all
fouled up in their sexual beings."
Likoudis believes sex education for the
young should tx an "educati on in
chastity and modesty." In values

Christensen, Likoudis said children are
never told what is the ''right choice."
Sex educators arc not far off
philosophically from Hugh Hefner.
Larry Flynt or Bob Guccione, Likoud is
alleged, saying the differenc. is only o ne
of degree.
The quest io n-and-answer period
beca~ rat~r heated , with some ~r~
so ns making statements instead of ask ing quest ions. They were scolded by
moderator Hathi, who had to interrupt
the discussion several times to call for
order.
The first ~rson to approach the
microphone cited a number of statistics
abou t Sweden 's abortion, suicide and
divorce rates and added that abo rti on in
Japan had diminished the size of tha t
cou ntry 's workforce. Hat hi poi ntedly
asked if the man had a question . He
answered in the affirmat ive an d asked
Christensn1 what she would make of this
information .
Christensen responded that the purpose of sex education is to ' ' help people
realize the totality of their human sexuality and to ha ve accurate knowledge
of alternati ves. We can't ensure that
their choices would be in accordance
wi th--the mores o f yourself or any other
group .''
No m•lerial oa sodomy, pte.K
The second questioner asked Likoudis
how young children would be able to
know they are being "victimized by
adults if they do not have accurate
knowledge." He responded, "You can
give fact s without graphic material
about sodomy. Teach children to be
chaste and modest," he repeated .
The third question was from a yo ung
woman who noted that children often
ask sex-related questions at the age of 2
or 3, and wondered if it is dtildren or
their parents who are not read y to deal
with such issues.
Likou&lt;.!4 said that there is a ••universal taboo' among parents, a reticence to
deal with explicit sex . He added, "Most
facts about sex can be taught to
youngsters in IS minutes . Why make a
great big fetish out of it and lose the
moral sense?' "
When hoots and jeers rose from the
audience, Likoudis demanded, "What
right do you have to impose your view
on tbe youna with my money? " A young
woman yelled, "What riaht do you have
to impose your views on us?" Hathi
again scolded the audience and asked
them to remain "civilized. "

•-·t

'God
dolak sex II dirty'
.The next questioner also focused on

Likoudis, sa ying, "God doesn ' t think
sex is dirty and morally wrong and sex
ed ucation is the greatest thing that hap-pened to this country ."
''I do not think sex is dirty,' 'Likoudis
responded, "but the usc of sex is im ~
pure. Christ said certain sins defile a
man. Two of these sins were sexual.
They are not the highest si ns, but they
cann ot be condoned or ignored.' ·
Likoudis' views were then attacked by
a blond you ng man who said he resented
the ''slur on my Scandinavian skin" cast
-by the first questioner who made "a
dishonest use of statistics. What
religious constituency do you stand for .
Mr. Likoudis'? " the young man asked .
" It certainly is not aJI Catholics, no r the
majority of Catholic adults."
When the audience begain clapping,
Hathi pleaded that people ask qu estions
with " less hostility."
The man replied, .. I' m si mply reacting to Mr. Likoudis ' Buckleyesq ue sar ~
casm and sharp tongue."
Likoudis at first laughed at this
criticism, but as he spoke he became
angrier and thumped his fist on the ta ble
as he said , "Sex educat io n is a rad icaJ innovation that is destructive of the mora l
fiber of our communities, which arc
grounded in Judea-Christian beliefs.
now challenged by secular humanistic
elements. The Cat holic Church has its
own concept of sex and chastity, revealed in the living voice of John Paul II and
not in the counterfeit words of trendy
theologians like Hans Kung. Original si n
is relevanl to the Catholic underslanding
of sexuality. We come into this world
wounded, our intellect darkened and our
will weakened ."
When the next questioner asked
Likoudis if there is only one right choice
for every sit uat ion. he replied, ''God has
spoken on rape, abortion. murder, con~
1raception."
Asked to define his use of "objective
morality,
Likoud is said it was
"grounded in God . The 10 Commandments are relevant in the 20th century."
Who decides righl and wrong.
someone else asked. Likoudis said,
"God does . There are objective rules
which stem from the Catholic Church
and Christ."
11

Porn, Playboy aad s~ows
In closing ..:marks, Likoudis decried the
••totalitarian attack on children by sex
educators. Our youth are living in a porno culture full of Playboy Clubs, peep
shows, cable porn and sex educat.i on.' "
He warned women in the audience,
many of whom were hooting at him.
that the pervasiveness of sex -in our
cult ure results in women getting di vorc~
ed by their husbands, " who run after
cute little blondes."
Christensen closed the debate by
remarking, .. We ca.nDOt live in an
isolated society. I believe we are sexual
human beings as well as spiritual . I do
not feel tbat sex education contradicts
Judd&gt;-Chrlstian beliefs. The sex education- Jfe ·nOW have is .not bad, it is not
a.ough ."

Albany bargains ' tough '
T he petitio n for a representation election is not "inconvenient." No, it
seriously weakens our bargaining stance,
in the face of a very tough, indeed , unfair, crew of bargainers. PERB bargains
with SUNY teachers the way it would
bargain with truckers or longshoremen .
A weak bargaining position for UUP
means less money in our paychecks after
the next contract is agreed upon. One
large reason why we have not done better in past contracts is the undermining
of UUP by the NEA, who have been exploiting the AAUP, when the AAUP
membershi p should be UU P 's allies in

I was an active member of AAUP on

our own bargaining agents. I s uggest
that UUP members who are still in

Vote against UUP
called lazy way out;
'better to build'
Ediror:
Dean Foster, in his leller of April 16. advises us that if we are at all di ssatisfied
with UUP 's performance we should call
for a decertification election and vote in
a different union . J have been di sgusted
wi th UUP's performance in past years
an d even voted for NEA in the last elec·
tion . However , since then I and others
have s hifted to the strategy of reform.
and thi s strategy is succeeding. Th e
sta tewide reform caucus has al ready
begun to democratize UUP and shi ft
UUP priorities from an industrial model
to an academic-professional model, and
our refo rm s arc still gathering momentum. We have a chance to win the UUP
presidency in the May 9 electio n and
poss ibl y even a majorit y o n the executi ve
board; and if we don 't wi n thi s time.
then maybe next year or the year after.
Our refo rm platform is no t immu table
but expresses our current thi nking and
serves as a basis for discussion with
ot hers, including Dean Foster. We
welco me your commen ts.
I ha ve learned two things:
I. Voti ng for a new union would by
itself accompli sh nothing; we wo uld still
have to build up the new uriion just like
we a re building this one. No one will do
it for us; M'e have ro do it ourselves. W e
ca nnot vote ourselves a read y-mad e
unio n beca use we are the un ion .
2. No matter how strong we become
we are not going to satisfy everybod yWe fa,ce an arrogant an d stu bborn
governor who is determliled to graduall y
squeeze SUNY to death; there is a continuing fiscal crisis that would frustrat e
even a friendly governor; and the Ta ylor
law hobbles us in negotiations. A change
of union will not change this realit y, but
united political action can help.
A protest vote is the lazy way out. The
realistic way is to build on what we
have.

Reagan cuts offer
threat to social sciences

' Lt't: 's

repla~

Ihe lab animals . '

Alternates urged
to lab animal use
Editor:

Last week, Dr. Andrew Rowan,
associate director of the Washingtonbased Institute for the Study of Animal
Problems, visited U / 8 and spoke to a
number of campus audiences about
alternatives to the use of animals in
scientific research. I'd like to share a few
of Dr. Rowan's ideas and observations.
ApParentlY, seventy to eighty million
research animals are used each year in
the United States. Rowan estimates that
there could be a 3G-35 '1o reduction in
this number without adversely affecting
the progress of bio-medical research .
He defined altematives as (I)
rephlce•nt of animals by other
raearcb methods, (2) ftd•&lt;lion in the
number of animals required by given
procedures, and (3) refl ..menl of
experiments to reduce the stress expe:rieoced by animals.
Rowan. who received his doctorate in
biochemistry from Oxford University,
was especially critical of drug and
chemical tests, such as the draize and
LDSO tests. The LDSO test is intended to
measure the toxicity or " lethal dose" of
various chemicals. Increasing amounts
of chemicals are given to large groups of
test animals until SO'Io of them die.
These tests, he said, cause harm to an
excessive number of animals without
necessarily providing real assurances of
safety to humans.
·
Dr. Rowan offered a number of
recommendations perlinent to the
University. These were as follows:
e Expand the role of university
animal care committees to include
review of ethical issues relating to
raearcb. (By "ethical issues" Rowan
specifiCally meant issues pertaining to
the fair trattment and welfare of animal
researcll subjects.)
• Provide students in the biological
and medic:al foelds wiih courses that
address ethical issues retating to the
trQlment of llllimals in research.
· e ·Where feasible; allow ·students the
option o f - participatillll oiD•liveoanimal
labs. 11te ~ concepts might be

learned through alternative procedures,
e.g. the use of films, library research,
etc. (Rowan was par ticularly critical of
classroom ani mal experiment s on the
junior high and high school levels.)
• Rest rict publicatibn in academic
research journals to only those papers
which demonst rate reasonabl e justifica·
tion for the animal research the y
describe. ("It 's not enough to say that X
is an interesting problem that nobod y
has looked at before.")
While stating that there is "n01 hin g
wro ng wi th sent iment ," Rowan noted
that "sentiment can be carried too far. "
Thus, in his presentations here he
atlempted to st rike a balance between
humane concerns and those that propel
scientific research, showing respect for
bot h. In line with this balance, Row an
asked researchers to examine thei r
attitudes. He argued that researchers in
the bio-medical fields need to remind
themselves thai they are working wilh
living animals which tiave feelings. He
insisted thai the animals are not merel y
throw-away testing devices or bags of
kidneys, livers, blood vessels, and other
anatomical parts.
-Summing up his own philosoph y,
Rowan quoted the Nobel Prize-winning
immunologist Sir Peter Medawar. In
)969, he said: " I think that the use of
experimental animals on the present
scale is a temporary episod"'-.ia biomedical history and that its peak will be
reached in ten years time, maybe sooner .
In the meantime, we must grapple with
the paradox that research on animals
will provide us with the knowledge that
makes it possible for us to dispense with
the use of them altogether ." Thus
· Rowan's impatience with researchers
who expect him to have all the answers.
He believes that alternatives to animal
use wili become more apparent once
more scientists apply their expertise and
imagination to the raearch problems
they are most familiar '!"ith. •

Editor:
A decision vi rtuall y to eliminate social
science research has been made witho ut
any serious co nsiderat ion o f its policy
implications. In fac t, the decision appears to have been made out of pre·
judice, and without concern for the
public interest. Government by slogan is
in this instance ha ving an impact o n our
very capacity to understand our social
world . Social problems related to poverty, aging, alcoho lism, mental illness,
divorce, chronic illness, cri me and del in ·
quency, race, sex ual and handicapped
discriminati on, education, the changing
nature of work and family in society,
and related problems wi ll not disa ppear
because social scient ists are not viewing
the problem. Howeve r, ou r capacity for
understanding , and for precise social
criticism will be severely diminished as
will be th e employment of the methodologies of o ur disciplines in developing
social accountab ility. The Reagan ad minist ration will reduce the potential
contrib uti on of th e social sciences to the
sol ution of social problems by controlling the direction of development o f
in tellectual disciplines through the
power of the federal purse. Moreover by
severely reducing support in the field ,
the possibilities for excellent work will
also be curbed. There will be fewer
research workers, fewer st ud ents entering the field , and it will become less at·
tracti ve to individuals of great intellectual ability.

Administration policies for resea rch
suppon appear to be shaping up so as to
requ ire limiting and rethin king our suppor t for "social" resea rch . Th is
memorandum su mmarizes interim proced ures for special review of new and
competing research awards that may be
classified as social resea rch and proceeding wi th all other awards. The aim is
to proceed with paymen1 of upcoming
awards that are clearly not social
research; review all proposed a~· ards at
the lnslitute level from programs whi ch
ha ve supported social research in the
past; and to lay the grou ndwork for
longer term thi nking to clarify and
refine crit eria for social research that
can be applied consistently by programs.
The procedures are interim since the
budget situation for both FY 8 I and 82
is still tentative, and we expect there may
be further dialogue and clarificatio n
with new leadership in the Department
as 1he budget process goes forwa rd.

Within the next thirty days decisions
will be- made determining the future o f
the social sciences in this year 's (FY81)
and next year's (FY82) budgets. Some
have been made already (See attached
memo) . Unl ess you act immediately,
these decisions will be made without the
voice of the social science community
being heard. It is essential that you write
to your Congressman and Senators, no
matter their part y, to call attention to
the impending prejudicial loss of support for resea rch and act ion in relatio n
to social problems.

This will bring you up-to-date on the status of our attempts to acquire
monumental sculpture for the Amherst Campus. The Committee on Sculpture
Acquisition considered each of the five pieces that were brought to the Campus
last Spring in terms of worth as art, originality of conception, quality of
workmanship, and appropriateness to the architectural style of the campus. In
addition, we considered the responses to the sculpture from both the University and the community at large. We decided, at this time, to recommend that
Charles Ginnever's Atltzntis be our first sculpture purchase. We are currently
waiting to hear whether or not the National Endowment for the Arts will provide some of the funds for the purchase as part of their Art in Public Places
Program.
In the meantime, two of the pieces (Murray' s Saginaw and Sugannan's Concord) have been returned to the sculptors. We hope soon to bring additional
pieces of sculpture...to the campus for future consideration .
Finally, on behalf of the Committee, I want to thank you fo r your many
responses to my request for reactions to the sculpture. The results of the poll
that the R~port~r conducted on October 30, 1980 were as follows:

By ANN WHITC HER
When the sixth -and newest-edition of
Grove 's Dictionary of Music and Musicians ca me off the press last November,
there was a predictable hub· bub . Aft er
all , Ihe 20-volumc, 18· milli on word opus
had been in the wo rk s since 1969 . And
the encyclOpedia , whi ch sells for a cool
$1,9(X), is the Cddillac of mu sic
reference book s in English. In fact, with
the exceptio n o f th e German Die ,\-tusik
in G ~schichte und Ge!!,enwart. i ~ ' ~; unsurpassed anywh ere.
So it wa s wilh understandable pride
tha t U/ B faculty members an noun ced
rece ntly tha t a// the mu sicolog is1s in the
Mu sic Department had co ntributed to
th e new Grove's, publis hed in Lo ndon

The editorial staff. headed by Mozan
aut ho rit y and L o ndon Times criti c
Stanley Sadie. not es that " America n
sc ho la r s h ip , ... by s he er force of
numbers, occupies a leading ro le in
world mu sico logy . " But the Ameri ca ns,
like eve ryone else , were chosen because
they were th e " bes t-irrespective of nationality, seniority, po litical factors or
anything else. " Strainchamps elabomtes: "We were the people who have
done primary research in these areas."
adding that U/ 8 mu sicologists have "a
superb reput at ion . "

85 articles by Fuller
David Euller, U/ B associa te professor,
contribu!ed a whopping 85 anicles, in·
eluding major pieces on the: suite form
and the Couperin and Ch~mpion
families. The U/ 8 music historian also
wrote some 35 articles on "questions of
performance and terminology.''
Since Gro~·s includes no authors' index, other U / 8 contributions might
have gone unnoticed . Those of Jeremy
Noble, for instance. Noble, a former
music critic for the London Times and
U$ociat.e ,P.I:Qft;$,W~ .here, is on the.

It cost millions
Macmillian reportedly spent millions on
the encyclopedia, which had not been
published si nce 1954, wben a nine:·
volume work edited by the late Eric
Blom a ppeared . BJorn's "was a
courageous attempt to encompass a
gigantic increase in the: range of mu sical
knowledge," say the editors, but the '54
Grove 's "was still aimed at the
amateur. "
The new edition is much more "international in scope,' ' with more than a
million words on non- Western and folk

The collection also contains
Willbern's compilation of the most com·
prehensive
bibliography

The Education and work of the professional staff
This is the second in a series of art icles based upon a " Professional Staff
Educational Needs Survey" conducted during Spring 1980 by Charles Bland , a
DUE senior adviser and chairperson of the Professional Staff Senate' s Human
Resources Committee : In the Reporter for April 9, Bland outlined
demographic features of the professional staff. The intent of the following is
to focus on the correl ation between the Professio nal Staff's present work and
educational background .
One key question asked in the Spring 1980 Survey was " What correlation
does your degree/ major su bjet't have to your present work? Respondents were
given a choice of high correlation, some correlation and little or no ne. Ob·
viously, a closely related question, though not identical , and one which was
not asked, is "Are you satisfied with your job?" It seems plausible that in
man y cases, .close relationship of education and work constit utes at least a
crude measure of job satisfaction . Tentatively then , the question asked ma y be
extended to measure job satisfaction .
Educatloa alld work

Of 323 responses to the question of correlation of education with work, 51 ~o
indicated a high correlation; 34.,. indicated some corre lati on and 150'fo in·
dicated little or no correlation with current job and educational background .
Comparison of this question with vario:..!s demographic features of the profes~
sional sta ff yielded the following results:

Paradoxically, within age groups the highest degree of correlation (high or
some) occurs in the 20-29 and SO+ categories, which were found to have been
represented by women most heavily (ages 20-29 was female by 57-431\'o; ages
50-59\by SS-4S'lo ; and ages 60 + by 63-37%). Conversely, the age categories
most heavily represented by men. ages 30-49 , show the lowest leve l of educational background and job correlatio n.

Compression of categories yields clearer information in this case. Fifty. five
percent of respondents with s~ve n years service or less, which are more evenl y
balanced between men and women (S3-47'lt), also show a higher education / work.correlatioo. versus.thos.e with eight years service or more, wbo are
more typically male (S9-41 '1'1) . A comparison of type of appoiinment held by
yea rs of service shows that 78'1e of respondents with seven years or less service
held term appointments, while 74"1t of respondents with eight or more years
service held cont in uing appointments. If the crude analogy between education
and work and job satisfaction holds true, professional staff employees who
have worked fewer years at the university, most typically worhen, may enjoy
their work and status more than their older, more senior in sratus, and more
secure male colleagues.
Starr memben largely satisfied
In conclusion. it is apparent that to a very high degree, SUNY Buffalo staff
members perceive some correlation between their present work. and the highest
degree they hold . If this correlation equates, even crudely, with job satisfaction, it is obvious that professional staff members are largely satisfied with
their c~rrent status . This conclusion seems to be reinforced by the 339
responses (of a possible 347) to the question "Are you presently· pursuing a
higher degree?" Seventy-nine per cent answered no. Further. although an
overwhelming 77"1t of those 21 "Jo who are seeking a higher degree are doing so
to gain professional certification, thus presumably to strengt hen their present
job or to find more satisfying work, the difference in present education/ present work correlation seems to have only a slight bearing on whether a respon·
den t is pursuing a higher degree.

By simple reasoning. one would expect respondents who reported a low cor·
relation of education and work or low job satisfaction would see the path to
more satisfying work through more education, and that the numbers of those
seeking a higher degree would be represented disproportionately by those with
a low correlatiOill&gt;etween education and work. Yet as Table VII shows, there
is no significant CJifference:

Editor:
A recent letter in the Reporter from the
President of the Buffalo Center Chapter
of UUP noted the increase in SUNY applications for Fall 1981 and related that
increase to UUP' s ad campaign . We appreciate efforts of the Union in bringing
SUNY t o the artention of the New York.
State residents. To date, our office has
responded to 326 requests for information abou1 the University which came
from the Pennysaver and radio ads.
It should be noted, however, that
SUNY is not alone in its application increase. The Chronicle of Higher Educotion and other sources have reported the
increase of applications in other states
and in the public and private sector_ All
sources acknowledge the tentative
nature of the increase and are cauliously
optimistic aboul Fall 1981 enrollments.
We suspect that the percentage increase/ decrease in enrollments will be
manipulated in the next few months by
the amount of Federal and State support
for higher education_
I wish to take issue with the statement
lhat UUP intervened and demanded that
additional workers be hired to process
the increased now of applications. The
Application Processing Center established a .second shift for one month. to ban-'!'
die the increased load. This was done ·
rhrough the adm\Jlistrative planning and
foresight of the director, JoAnn Krause,
and at no time was my office or her office contacted by UUP or anyone else
regarding the lag in processing. Several
of the admissions directors asked about
our plans for handling the overload and
were satisfied that the job was bein~ .
don€ when the secorid Shift was exPlain- '
ed to them. If UUP "intervened, " I
knew nothing about it and neither did
~.
Miss Krause.
We arc happy to continue cooperat- ·
in8. with UUP in responding to requests
for iofonnation . We appreciate the
Union's efforts in publicizing the
University.

Graduate work broade-ns as funding shrinks
Graduate educal ion in the disciplines is
becoming professionally-oriented and
professional education more and more
makes use of the disciplines. At the same
time, all graduate education-particularly that in SUNY -faces a decade
of shrinking resources and the need for
re-evaluation .
These separate but related themes
were . sounded here Friday at a conference on Graduate Education in the
1980s sponsored by the Department o f
Higher Education .
Harvard sociologist Nathan Glazer
spoke wistfully of a day when professors
labored in the esoteric realms of Sansk rit
and Egyptology, oblivious to the outside
world. If a sociolog ist st udied
neighborhood life, it was not to help
that neighborhood, but to support some
theoretical concepL Today , th a t
sociologist would more likely than no t
have a grant with which to wreak som e
social policy change on the area. There is
"growing impurity in the disci plines,"
Glazer noted . He was neither criticizing
nor complaining, he said. Just noting
the change_
Arthur Smith , provo s t (chief
academic officer) at SUNY / Binghamton. addessed the precarious state of
graduate education within SUNY ,
detailing with some pride how Binghamton has accepted reality by renouncing
its once majestic goal of becoming a
"Berkeley of the East. " Instead, Smith
noted, Binghamton has opted to become
"the Brown of the West," by developing
only a limited_number of graduate and
professional programs_ Those selected
few, however, will be developed so as lo
attain the same depth and richness which
characterize the undergraduate program
at thllt campus (which used to be known
as Harpur College). The Binghamton
undergraduate program remains the
most popular within SUNY accepting no
one with a high school average of less
than 91.
Glazer noted that most social sciences
departments _have abandoned the
theoretical for issues of practice_ A
. notable exception, he said, is the unique
progrant in sociology at Binghamton
which has carved a niche for itself
through unyielding emphasis on theory.

being '"disaccredit ed •' beca use it has
" fallen into th e hands of economist s."
Glazer restricted his co mm ents to the

" minor professiona l sc ho ols." The
" major professions," he said, "have
not become so caught up in the trend ."
Law schools o nce flirt ed wi th the idea of

inco rporating more social theo ry imo
their curriculums, he recalled, but most
are now "veering away."
Glazer dismi ssed the " vulgar Marxis1
-explanation" whi ch holds that the
disciplines have embraced the practical
because "t ha t's where the jobs a re." He
prefers big government as the explana·
lion . Nowad ays what govern ment does
or does not do is what changes neighborhoods, for exa mple-not the lo ng-range
social trends that a J930s sociologisi
would be comfortable wit h. Institutions
of higher learning ha ve respo nded by
emphasizing "effectiveness." " Eternal looking tex ts" have given way to th e
reams o f mimeogra phed regulations
which gush forth from Washington and
State bu rea ucracies.
The disci pli nes have been improved by
their involvement in the wo rld and the
professional sc hools have become mu ch
less self-enclosed by turning to t he
disciplines, Glazer assessed . But , he
said , those trends pose problems in bo th
curriculum and evaluation.

:roo -•J ec:oaomlsts

The reverse is apparent in professional
education, Glazer noted. At the Harvard
School of E&lt;lucation, for example, no
one on the faculty had a degree in a field
other t~ education as recently as the
19SOs. The same was true in schools of
city, planning. Now the - economists,
political scientists and sociolosists have
taken over_ "And the a=editing agencies don't know what to do." The Harvard SChool of City Planning, in fact, is

full support. Faculty Ji nes lost in retrench ment, Smith said , have graduall y
been resto red and invested in the professional schools an d in those arts and
sciences programs with high work- loads.
Exte rnal funding has been dou bled and
a co mmitment made to protect the
undergradua te program.
In the decade ahead, Smith predicted,
tight mo ney wi ll co ntinue to be a problem, and many faculties may be faced
with the problem that Binghamton had
to deal with , that of "deactivating"
graduate prog rams . He also wari ly
noted a trend toward more out side inte rference in the business of accrediting
and evaluating uni versities.
Is the DOB sus picious?
The Di vision of the Budget appears
suspicious th at doct oral education "rips
off the taxpayer ," Smith ve ntured.
Budget examiners seem bent on dev ising
formu las to reduce doc tora l funding.
We don ' t know how to provide funds
fo r graduate education in an era of
decline, he noted . Des pi te a reduced out put, costs of maintaining program s
(libra ries, equipment , etc .) will co nt in ue
to go up. " DOB mistrusts that. "
State funding policies, moreover,
make it d ifficult fo r graduate programs ,
ei ther public or private, to tak e "t he
rational step " of reducing enrollmen ts
during a period of lowered demand.
Wit hin SUNY, Smith poin ted out ,
budgets are enrollment-driven and in the
private sector, the Bundy bounty for
eac h degree granted provides an incentive which works against cutting the
number of graduates.
Commenting on the presentation,
Bruce Johnstone, president of the State
University College at Bu ffa lo, vent ured
that he and other undergraduate college
presidents within SUNY would be
willing to support a shifting of funds
within the system if they could detect "a
trimming down and a sense of mission"
among the graduate r;en.ters. Graduate

progra ms do req uire more support per
student than undergraduate efforts,
Jo hnstone acknowledged. He could support " more money for Binghamton than
for Buffalo State College" he said, if he
we re convinced that the graduate centers
were moving to eliminate waste and
duplication.
U/ B' s Claude Welch, another invited
commentator, proposed that increased
emphasis on the master's degree may be
one way for graduate education to at
least hold its ow n in the years ahead .
The master's is havi ng a renaissance, he
noted, even if the Ph . D. is losing
ground.
Uodergnld education needs atteotioo
Welch cautioned against over-reliance
on foreign gradu ate students, citing
result s of a rece nt survey he conducted
here. When Welch ask ed und ergraduates to rank the five most important
qualities of a college professor, he was
surprised to find that "ability to speak
English" was the number one considera·
tion. He call~ for more emphasis on
undergraduate rather than graduate
problems at U/ B, because, undergradu·
are educat ion is " in more serio us
shape."
Sociologist Lionel Lewis, the third
commentator, also championed more
Fmphasis on the master's, not as a con·
solation prize but rather as a convenient
means by which to equip people to
· ~ hange careers. Achieving ''consensus
for cutbacks," Lewis noted, is no easy
task . Every time meril is invoked as a
reason for a cut, Lewis pointed out,
people view it as a political act . The process is further impeded by grievances,
law suits and unions, he observed.
" What fac ulty would agree they have a
weak department?" Lewis asked. "We
hired faculty in the 60s and 70s with
grandiose plans. They are reluctant to
drop the prestige and the lighter teaching
loads that come with doctoral educa-

tion."

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

Pace of academic planning found slowing
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSIU
Academic planning is continuing but al
a slowed paoe; MFC is launching its
Writing Skills Program this faD, and
serious questions have arisen about the
Math Skills Program which may delay
implementation past fall of 1982.
The Senate Executive Commiuee
heard updates last week on a number of
items which rendered this information
and culminated in discussions on several
aspects of the University's General
Education Program .
Reporting on activities of the Dean's
Council, Senate Chairman Norman
Solkoff told the committee that some
members of that body remain unconvinced that the Math SkiDs component
can be best implemented by creation of
three or four-week course modules
taught by faculty from throughout the
University, though ; monitored by the
Math Department. This approach was
recommended in a report issued in

January by a special lask force empaneled 10 study implementation. ll has also
received the backing of Duwayne Anderson, dean of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics.
According lo Solkoff, Management
Dean Joseph Aluuo complained that the
modular proposal-one of three suggested by the task foroe-wli.s the most
difficult lo administer and thus
represented the uhighest risk"' option.
This prompted a ·number of pro and con
comments from Committee members,
including Math Professor Kenneth
Magill, who acknowledged the University has the faculty necessary to carry oul
tbe program, bul @Breed with Aluuo
that the proposal, in its current form,
would be an "administrative headache"
to implement and monitor.
Solkoff said the Dean's Council was
informed Ihal in order for the University
to initiate a successful program using
one of tbe other options, nine faculty
would have to be hired .

Slo.., labor?
Repeating observations he had made a
rew weeks before: Senator Tom Connolly warned that graduate students stand
the chance of getting exploited when the
search for teachers begins. The English
professor relayed that as a result of the
'Wnting Skills Component , leaching
loads of TAs in his department have
doubled. The situation, he lamented, is
comparable to "slave labor" since the
TAs involved have not received any additional support. Echoing similar concerns, Librarian Dorothy Woodson added that the Library Skills component has
put an "incredible burden" on the

Rounding out his report of Council

activities, Solkoff also relayed thai the

will slow but not halt academic planning
and reorganization. The consensus of
the Deans, explained Solkoff, is that the

shouldn't

Cooperative cell program
!Viii involve 3 departments
A new interdisciplinary graduate program in cell motility involvi ng
cooperative arrangements between two
departments in the Health Sciences and
one in the core campus has met with
University approval .
According to its director, Dr . Barry
Eckert, the program joins faculty from
the departments of Anatomical
Sciences, Biophysical Sciences, and Cell
and Molecular Biology currently engaged in research on cell motility, a
frontier of cell biology important in the
study of cancer and birth defeqs.
The program will allow for a formal
exchange of graduate students and
resources as well as make it easier to ap.
ply for federal research grants, notes
Eckert. Although participating faculty
will retain offices and labs in their
respective departments, the group will
meet once a month to discuss research
efforts. Such sessions are beneficial, explained Eckert, because the involved
faculty represent different perspectives
and can -gi_ve important feedback on
scientific papers before they are submitted for publication. Likewise, grad
st udents can profit from this interdisciplinary format .
Actually, faculty involved in the program have been meeting in ·this -fashion
for 18 months, Eckert relayed . These exchanges provided the oppartunity to
solidify worki ng relationships.
The · program also allo ws grad
students to rotate among departments.
and provides a vehicle through which
they can associate with a pool of faculty
who can act as advisors, Eckert added .
This semester the program will cosponsor 'appearances by guest lecturers
, who may also 'conduct informal

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
He " alway s wanted to be a journalist "
but didn ' t think he could write . Then
came an English .course with Mac Hammond who in formed him he could . The
revelation was a .. shocker ."
Sophomore year he followed hi s
dreams to Bos ton Universit y. But with a
bureaucracy he claims is fa r worse than
U/ B's, Boston "screwed up" his financial aid . So back he trod to U/ B, went

who feel the requirement will "scare
students away in droves." Hare said .
The GEC Chair also expressed di sa p·
pointment tha t he received little
response from the professional school
deans who were asked, via memo, to

co nsider o ffering GE courses. Hare said
participation by the profess ional'
schools-a given " strength" of the
University- would aOd a "unique
dimension" to the GE Program a nd
make it more " auractive" to the type of
student s the Universit y is likel y to enroll.
Giving an update for the GE lm·
plementation Task Force, Marilou
Healey reported that all University
departments were recently surveyed
about the number of courses they plan
to offer in the fall and spri ng of 1982-83.
Using the norm of two courses per
semester , Healey said she guesses that
enough courses - and seats would be
available to accommodate freshmen.
She couldn' t estimate, however, if the
same would hold true in 1983, when
freshmen and sophomores would be tak ·
ing GE courses.
All GE offerings, she advi~. will be
identified in course listings by special
markings. The Kr.owledge Area in which
they fall will also be indicated. In addi·
tion , a key with the appropriate information will appear on transcripts.
Healey also announced that a revision
has been made in how the Gen Ed Pro·
gram will apply to transfers. Students
entering the Unlversity with less than 57
hours will have to take seven courses in
twO KA '-'clusters " outside the major.
The clusters, she explained , are si mila r
to the course groupings now used for
~istribution requirement s.
Hare agreed with Healey's asses.s ment

timetable on GE implementatiO"' at

about the likelihood or Millard Fillmore

he said , MFC lacks the faculty and

Longer term for Senate chair?
With no debate, the Executive Commit tee forwarded a resolutio n to its Bylaws
Committ ee which would lengthen the
term of office for Senate C hairman to
two years. Former Senat e C hai rman
Jonathan Reichert, who proposed the
change, to ld the Committee that he
doesn ' t feel one year is a long enough
period to allow a chairman to set and accomplish the goals for hi s admini stra tion, especially since much Senate work
is done in comm ittees and it generall y

final recommendations to the Senate
floor for a vote.
Solkoff, who leaves office thi s summer. wholeheartedly agreed, as did a
number of other Senators. The Chairman admitted he is experiencing a certain amount of frustration over not being able to see the completion of his
agenda.
'-....
Reichert also suggested that tl\e Com·
mittee consider develop ing a
mechanism-possibly a nomin ati ng
committee-which could formally ask
candidates to run for Senate office. The
" culture of the University" dictates that
faculty don ' t seek out office, declared
Rei chert , "but they will if they are ask-

are a few " innovations," like expand ing

wan ts to do it by distributing the paper

Also, Lapiana, who prefers to think

try moving The Spectrum's "backpage"
to the inside this summer, a nd devote the
well-read spot to sports . The idea . he
acknowledges, is viewed with rrlore than
a little di sdain by some hard-line tradi tionalists. Hopefull y, the outcome of the
switch will force readers to look th ro ugh

Several FES profs seek extension for Grabiner
We , the undersigned , believe that the

denial of tenure to Professor Gene
G rabiner represents a serious loss to
SUNY at Buffalo and to the Buffalo
communit y. Despite the fact that Dr.
Grabiner was denied tenure at aU levels
of review, we believe that a serious case
can be made, in view of the special circumstances of Dr. Grabiner's sit uation,
for another course of action than
dismissal at the end of June 1981.
I. Dr. Grabiner was hired in 1974 as
an Assistant Professor, although he had
not yet completed his Ph .D. dissertation. The dissertation was completed in
December, 1976. The sixth year review
of Dr. Grabiner's work took place in
November, 1979, after approximately
three years in which to demonstrate

scholarly promise .
2. In his letter denying tenure, March
19 , I 980,"Then VPAA Dr. Bunn stated
that, " It is evident that Dr . Grabiner has
contributed in the areas of teaching,
research, and service expected of all candidates for promotion and tenure . The
major issue, in my review of the
material, involves his record of scholar ly
research. " Dr. Bunn found the evidence
in this area to be '' mixed ,'~ and raised
the problem of the shortened probationary period : "since Dr. Grabiner was
appointed in the tenure-accruing line
prior to completing his doctorate, and in
view of the progress being made toward
further demonstration of scholarly accomplishment, renewed consideration
might appropriately be given him in
1980-1, his seventh full year at this
University."
'Good dtlzen '

Dr . Dunn 's repo rt confirms the
statements of then Dean of FES
Rossberg, whose letter indicating non recommendation of promotion and
tenure, January ll, 1980, stated: "Professor Grabiner has performed very well
in the area of community service and
university service. I have appointed him
to chair an important standing committee (Institutional Funds) and he perForms his duties responsibly , with
energy, and with insight. ... In short he is
a good citizen internall y and
externally.' '
Dr. Rossberg notes that most student
reports support the quality of Dr.
Grabiner's teaching. ,.The issue then
becom"" one of the quatity and quantity
of his scholarship. Here, too, there is no
easy answer. If is true that the level and
quantity of his productivity are below
the standard established by practice in
his department." Consequently, "a
calculated risk would have to be tal&lt;en to
make a positive recommendation at this
point in his development. " Dr. Ross berg
notes the "unfortunate aspect" of the
circumstances of Dr. Grabiner's having
.been hirt&lt;d as an Assistant Professor
· before having completed his degree, and
states that " Professor Grabiner is aware
of his privilege to resubmit his credentials during the next academic year ... "

It seems clear that were Dr . Bunn to
have measured the scholarly perfo rmance of Dr. Grabiner in terms of what
might reasonably be expected in a short
three year period , rath~r than in terms of
norms of performanc·e es tablished on
the basis of nearly twice this length of
time, evidence that is already "mixed"
and shows promise of being adequate in
one more year would have to be
weigh ted solidly on Dr. Grabiner's side.
The purpose of the sixth year revi ew is to
det ermine scholarl y promise, an d in the
special circumstances of Dr. Grabiner' s
case it would seem app ropriate to
measu re performance in terms of the
relevant time period . Indeed, Dr. Bunn 's
statement indicates that he believed this
factor to be releVant. Dr . Bunn does not
suggest changing the norms of review,
however , but suggests tha t reconsidera·
tion in the seventh year wou ld be a
method of accommodating the unfairness of the review .
3. Dr. Grabiner was denico a seventh
year review by President Ketter on
Janua ry 13 , 1981. This denial was based
on a recommendation by Dr. William
Grei ner, Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs, on December 29 ,
1980. Dr. Greiner was acting in place of
VPAA Rossberg who declared a "poten·
tial conflict of interest" in this case. Dr .
Greiner's letter followed another letter
refusing the seventh year review by acting Dean of FES Cramer. The grounds
for both refusals was no evidence of
s ig~iticant progress since the sixth year
revtew.

4. Possible reasons for Dr. Rosserg's
delegating the case to Dr. Greiner are the
fact that Dr. Rossberg was Dean of FES
when Dr. Grabiner's tenure was reviewed and denied, and the Fact that Dr.
Rossberg too suggested the seventh year
review as a means of alleviating uncertainties in Dr. Grabiner's case, and, as
has already been said, in his letter
recommending against tenure for Dr.
Grabiner in 1980, Dr. Rossberg stated
- that "Professor Grabiner is aware of his
privilege to resubmit his credentials during the next academic year in the event
that he does not receive promotion and
tenure.' '
Dr. Greiner said that, "Even if Dean
Ross berg 's statements to . Professor
Grabiner were intended to be and were
understood to be a promise of re-review,
.that promise was not supported by actual authority to bind this institution . In
the absence of a clear demonstration of
harm to Professor Grabiner, I do not
believe there is any obligation to honor
an unauthorized commitment."
In seems to us inappropriate to place
Dr. Grabiner in the position of arguing
that he is being harmed by termination.
5. Dr. Greiner's evidence of possible
significant· progress since the sixth year
review consists in published work and
work accepted for publication during
the previous year. Published work includes a 54-page article an'd a 3-page
book review. Accepted for publication
are two articles (19 and 21 manuscript
pages). (Since Dr. Greiner's review, ·a
I ~page essay review has been acce)ited
liy Harvard Educational Review). A
book manuscript on John ~ey .
presenily under review by PrincC!lin
University Press, and a book contract
with ~henkman Publishing Company
on "SChool Desegregation" are norcon-_
sidered significant, together with. four
other articles currently submitted for
publication · and under review. Dr.
Grabiner bas received a copy of one of
the reviews of ·the IH-y manuscript
from the J'rinceton publishers. The
-reviewer Places Dr. Grabiner's work in
the liighest possible category, and
writes: "We ·CUrrently do not haye a
·• good Marxian critique of Dewey's
pr1111ma.tk etl!ics as well as his develop_ment of corporate liberalism. base9 on·
· tbe,eun;et~t rel(isionist scbolaiship. This
-:", ..
"'

-

book fills that function. I do not know
of a competing work."
Promise as a scholar
Certainly such a statement by the
Princeton reviewer indicate s the
publishability of Dr. Grabiner' s work ,
and his general promise as a scholar.
6. Even if we restrict ourselves to the
work considered important by Dr.
Greiner, there are two articles, one book
chapter and two reviews in one yea r's
time. Previous work which Dr. Greiner
mentions as considered in the sixth yeap.
review are four book chapters, five articles and five book reviews. Dr.
Orabiner's productive level during this
previous year seems consistent with the
level of previous achievement which Dr.
Bunn had considered to constitute
gro unds for reconsideration this year.
7. Acknowledging an inability to
judge the quality of Dr. Grabiner's
work, Dr. Greiner instead looks at the
reputation of the journals or publishers
in which Dr. Grabiner's work appears or
will appear. He cites the assertion of the
sixth-ye3.r review refusal by Chairman
Phi lip Altbach that " none of the
published work appeared in 'established
refereed journals in the field of education'.''
Sipce Dr. Grabiner has provided
evidence that all of the journals in which
he has published are refereed, the term
"established" must be emphasized in
Dr . Altbach's appraisal.
Without going into detailed consideration of the journals and books in
which Dr. Grabiner has published, it is
important to note that there is an abundance of testimonial letters from
recognized specialists in education, particularly from acknowledged specialists
whose work is of a Marxist character,
which_testify to the quality and importance of Dr. Grabiner's work. For example, Professor Samuel Bowles, coauthor of Schooling in Capitalist
America, regards "Corporate invelvement in Elementary and Secondary
Education" (1971, written when Dr .
Grabiner was a graduate student) as a
landmark article, predating "virtually
all of what has since been termed the
new educational history."
New curreDI of critical tbougbt
Where a bpdy of work is mainly critical
of "establiShed" work in a field, as Dr.
Grabiner's has been, and belongs to a
new current of critical thought in education , it is ~ clear that such work will at
first be published in "critical" journals.
To measure quality by acceptability to
mainstream or orthodox journals is to
build into the evaluation an implicit bias
against the point of view being
presented. More recent recognition by
"established" publishers (Scnenkman,
Princeton University Press, Harvard
EdUcational Review) is a recognition of
the fact that the critical point of view has
proven its seriousness. In Dr. Grabiner's
case. it seems safe to conclude that a
mechanical application of a journal's
alleged reputation, ·as a me&amp;Sure of the
quality of his . work, constitutes an institutionalized bias against the point of
view which Dr. Grabiner defends.
Indeed we believe that the fact that
Dr. Grabiner is the sole member of FES
to present a Marxist viewpoint, in a
systematic and -serious manner, should
be regar&lt;led as an important point in his
favor. Dr. Grabiner's competence .and
originality as a Marxist is testified to by
numerous letters of recommendati9n,
but is nowhere t&amp;ken into consideration
in the formal statem_ents of evaluation.
8. 1namemoofFebruary9,1979, Dr.
Altbach critij:ized Dr. Grabiner for having a department secretary distribute a
publisher-'s announcement of a book by
Dr. James Lawler, /Q, Heritability and
_R~istrJ (International Publishers; New
Yorj&lt;, 1978). According to Prof.
Altbach, this. book is "unrelated to
ed~ucation. It seems to me that this is a

misuse of FES faci li ties, since I believe
that the mailing facilities should be used
only for university business and for professional activities.''
Dr. Altbach paper-dipped to his
memo a letter written by then Dean
Rossberg to the editor of Internatio nal
Publishers (which is a major publisher
of Marxist works, and is currently
publishing the over fifty-volume col·
lected works of Marx and Engels). Dr.
Rossberg complained about the fact that
the publisher's announcement included
a statement by Dr. Roger Woock, who
was listed as Chai rman of the Department of Social Foundations ,
SUNY / Buffalo . Dr. Woock, presently
Vice Principal for Academic Affairs
(equivalent to VPAA) of Melbourne
State College, Melbourne, Australia,
had been chairman of Dr. Grabiner 's
department at the ti me the Lawler
manuscript went to press.
It is not clear wh y Dr. Altbach appended a co py of this letter to his memo
to Dr. GrabinCr . Dr. Grabiner, however,
perceived the situation as an attack on
his academic freedom and released the
documents to members of his depart·
ment and faculty . Dr. Altbach then
replied in a memo to Dr. Grabiner
that. .. "you are quite correct in arguing
that there is an educationaJ relevance to
Professor Lawler's book," but stated
his belief that Dr. Grabiner's response
was " blown out of proportion ."
Publlcatloa woakl toettle It
9. We believe that whatever hesitation
one might have of the quantity and
quality of Dr. Grabiner's scholarly
research would be settled with the
publication of either one or both of the
books motioned above. Were be to have
had the normal probationary period of
seven years after completion of his
dissertation, the matter would be
beyond dispute. In his letter of refusal
written to then-VP AA Bunn, January
31, 1980, Dr. Rossberg refCjTed to the
fact that "One of the ~nf?rtunate
aspects of this situation IS that Dr.
Grabiner came to this institution with
the possibility of occupying a qualified
title for a year or two while he completed
his dissertation .... Present policy would
preclude the appointment of a faculty
member to a tenure accruing position
who had not completed all the requirements for a degree." Dr. Rossberg
points out, furthermore, that "Grabiner
•actually worked here for over two years
before earning his doctorate." Had l;!r.
Grabiner been appointed to a qualified
title when he first got here, or were this .
no"! to be the case as a matter of equity,
it would mean that the tenure clock
would be stopped for .an appropriate
period of time-say, two and one-half
years-while Dr. · Grabiner, under · a
special title, worl&lt;ed in some justifiable
academic area. There is ample precedent
for thi~ approach :to the .problem of a
shortened probationary period within
FES. (Indeed, one faculty member had
been given three years in a qualified title
after having been an assistant professor
here for six years. At the end of this
_period, this individual was re-evaluated
for tenure and promotion and achieved
both .)
·
This course of action seemed natural
in Dr. Grabioer's case. He developed
and_regularly taught the only course on
school integration in FES. He !)ad been
working on, and recently completed a~
survey of the Magnet School System for
the Buffalo Board of Education. This
research will provide orlginal material
for Dr. Drabiner's contracted book with
Schi:nk man on School Desegregation.
Also, given the growing awareness of the
i(llportance of solving racial tensions in
Buffalo, the potential is present for a
special approach to the study of integra.tion via the proposal he developed for a
"University Center fo r the Study of

Challenge to UUP may be
'inconvenient'-so what?
Editor:
The UUP's most recent Newsletter contai ns a note from Chapter President Bill
Allen urging members to resist the e:f.
forts of the SUNY Alliance to gain
another representation election. Such an
election is characterized by Prof. Allen
as .. expensive, time-consuming, and
ultimately futile ." I have no doubt that
it would be expensive and timeconsu ming. Whether it would also be
futile is. of course, conjectu ral , but the
reasons advanced by Prof. Allen st rike
me as either factually incorrect or lading cogency. Let me cite three examples.
I . ''Three years ago we bl&gt;ot them

The Writing Place offers
help for last minute projects
With the end of the semester rapidly ap·
proaching, students who need help with
any writing projects, including term
papers, resumes or applications to
graduate and professional schools, can
get assistance at The Writing Place . The
drop-in service is available to any
member of the Universi ty communit y,
and, when possible, to area residents.
Tutors at the facilit y, according to
Michael Collier, a teaching assistant
there, use a " non-directive conference
approach ." This means tutors do not
perform an editorial function per se, but
provide necessary information and feedback to enable writers to make their own
decisions .
Collier emphasized that although the
service is funded by The Learning
Center, it does not have a remedial
orientation . Students use The Writing
Place for advice on all types of projects,
from English 101 ·compositions to
critical and creative writing. And writers
cao seek advice at any stage of the
writing process. Tutors will assist in
deciphering assignments, overcoming
writing blocks, or editing final drafts.
They will also go over graded papers to
render advice on how writing can be improved . .
Sessions vary in length, but 11\0St run
short of an hour. When lengthier works
are reviewed, a writer may be asked to
make a return visit.
Although many students, especially
those in beginning English, consider
grammar their biggest problem, Collier
claims the biggest pitfall is organization.
For this reason, tutors often spend the
most time helping writers become clear
on what needs to bt communicated. Only after this is accomplished, and the
organization is dow.n pat, is time spent
on grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Here apin, Collier points out, a nondirective approach is used.
The Writing Place also houses an extensive coUection pf reference materials ,
including Thesauruses; audio and video

cassettes on writing, style sheeLS and a
variety of other aids.
In addition to Collier , The Writing
Place is manned by another TA and a
director. Writers may also be assisted by
any of 30 volunteer tutors who have
completed a six-week training course.
Most tutors , Collier note&lt;( are English
education majors or graduate students
in the Faculty of Educational Studies.
The Writing Place, located in 336
Baldy, is open from noon to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday , and 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. , Monday through Thursday. A
good off-time to come, suggests Collier ,
is in the evening or toward the end of the
0
week .

Michigan facing
'hard times' budget
Economic hard times are forcing
Michigan's 13 public universi ties and
colleges to eliminate programs, reduce
faculty and cut enrollment, the
American Council on Educat io n
reports.
Michigan 's allocation for public
higher education was cut by more than
$100 million, and the state still faces a
deficit of $150 million. The result has
been drastic cuts on all the state's campuses.
Michigan State University, for example, needs to cut more than $29 million
from its budget this year. Proposals to
deal with the crisis include eliminating
the School of Nursing and the department of humanities, drastically reducing
the veterinary science program, and cutting all the other departments. More
than 70 teachers, half of them tenured,

would lose their jobs.

apparently more urgent than we
though!.
2. "Since then our membership has
grown to some 631rJo of all possible persons.'' Before the State saw fit to impose
a mandatory agency fee on its unionized
employees, UUP was able to garner the
voluntary financial support of less than
30 per cent of the bargaining unit. What
is remarkable is no t that UUP h.a., en ·
joyed a doubling of its membership as a
result of this tax, but rather tha t more
than a third of the unit has still opted
against joining . It no.w not only costs a

bur the refusal ro join co!Jts him or her
both a voice in its affairs and certain insurance benefits. (UUP's members -only

PERB , a decision which-predictablyhas been appealed by UUP .) The fact
that 37 per cent of the bargaining unit
has nevertheless been willing 10 incur

Worth serious consideration

Other members of FES thought that the
proposal is worth serious consideration.
In a letter to President Ketter, April 14,
19gO, 26 tenured faculty members of
FES, including one former dean. four
department chairpersons and four
membtrs of the FES Personnel Commit ·
tee, signed a statement ask ing Presiden t
Ketter to consider Dr. Grabiner for a
qualified title for two and a half yea rs,
in connection with the development of a
" University Cenrer for the Study of
Quality Integra ted , Bi-Lingual , BiC ultural Education ." Dr. Grabiner·s
proposal for this Community-University
Center has so far received the endorsement of the Buffalo chapters of the
N ~C P, National Conference of Christians and Jews, National Urban League
and th e Catholic Diocese o f Buffalo .
10. In the light of: a) acknowledged
accomplishments of Dr. Urabiner in the
areas of teaching, service and research ,
b) the recognized problem of a shortened effective probationary period, c)
the existence of a Proposal for a
"University Center for the Study of
Quality Integrated, Bi-Lingual , Bi ·
Cultural Education," and significaot
Community support for this Proposal,
we appeal to Dr. Ketter to appoint Dr.
Grabiner to a qualified title such as
Research Assistant Professor, with
maintenance of current salary and
btnefits, for a period of two and a half

also say something about the prospective
futility of an election .
3. "A campaign would divert our
energies, cost us mon~y. and fall in the
middle of our negotiations for the next
contract. " In the first place, an election
challenging an incumbent union will
always have these features . Elections are
by nature diverting and expensive, and
since they can be called only wward the
end of an existing contract , they
necessarily take place during negotiations for a successor contract. If these
factors are seen as properly militating
against a challenge, then presumably a
union , once voted in, enj oys iLS agency
status in perpet uit y. By this reasoning.
of cou rse. we should also do away with
all tho~ pesky 'elections for senators ,
mayors. presidents. et al.. which are also
expensive and serve to divert incumbents
from the exigencies of the day.
A decision on whether to sign an election petition shou ld not be made on the
basis of the arguments urged by Prof.
Allen . It should be made in accordance
with a judgment on how the employment -related interests of bargaining unit
members will best be served . If you are
perfectly satisfied with UUP's performance over the years, then you should
follow Professor Allen 's advice. If you
arc dissatisfied with UUP' s performance. or if you are wondering whether

Don't look for the Soviet Union to in·
vade Poland, exiled Soviet dissident
Alexander Ginzburg advised a crowd of
about SOO in the Fillmore Room at
Squire last Thursday.
It's not that the Soviets lack the might
with which to cross the Polish frontier,
Ginzburg explained. "They could in·
vade France if they wanted to." What
keeps the USSR out , he said, is that they
don't know what to do once they get
there. Even if they threw S million of the
discontent Polish workers into prison,
they'd Wll have to deal with the other S
million. The best way for them to regain
control is to undennine the Solidarity
movement from within the country, the
veteran of Soviet labor camps ventured.
That's exactly what he expects them to
do.
Ginzburg, you see, doesn't trust the
Soviets. Having been thrown· into prison
three times for "standing up'' to Com·
munist authority, he feels the West
shouldn't trust the men in the Kremlin
either. Ginzburg told the audience that
"the number of Communists by convic·
lion within the USSR is zero." It's easy
to be a Communist in France or in the
United- States, . he suggested, but much
more difficult to be one in Russia.
There, people have seen that it just
doesn't work. Of course, said Ginzburg,
thousands of people help the Soviet
"machine" operate. However, they do it
not out of conviction but merely to gain
for themselves a prestigious position in
society. People have available to them
no mechanism for change, he pointed
out, so they cynically grasp the best they
can for themselves.

'Made I• tile USA'
He warned the West against tradi ng in
computers and other elC&lt;:tronic equipment with the USSR. Ginzburg noted
thai he only once came across electronic
equipment being used by the Communist
government-when a listening device
was unearthed in the home of a Baptist
religious leader. That device was marked
quite clearly: "made in the USA ." He
wishes . "bankruptcy" on American
companies that engage in this kind of
trade with the Russians.
Nor, he said, should the US export
wheat to the Soviet Union . The Soviets
simply tum around and sell it to other
nations.
In other observations, Ginzburg noted
that Jews in the Soviet Union are in "a
horrible position." There are only about
40 active synagogues in the whole na. lion. There are no books in Hebrew .
And- only one magazine and one

Pagt 9

newspaper are published in Yiddish .
Yet, said the former journalist who has
been active in the Committee for the
Defense of the Rights of Believers within
the USSR, the latest wave of religious
oppression there has been aimed at the
Orthodox Church. Ginzburg used the
term "latest wave" as a means of identi ·
fying a new tum , not a new beginning.
"Religious persecution h:tS never
ceased" since the Bolshevik Revolution ,
he said .
While cherishing the freedom that he
enjoys in the u.s. and enjoying his nir tation with capitalist society (Ginzburg
went shopping at Eastern Hills Mall
prior to his presentation), the Russian
nonetheless had criticism of some things
American . The press here, for example,
is professional and "follow5 a defined
set of rules," but those rules do not include " moral criteria," he lamented .
Some U.S. papers he likes and others he
doesn't. The New York Times is one of
the latter.
He also finds fault with the Voice of
America for "playing too much pop
music, " wbile ignoring its impact as an
influential source of information within
the USSR .
A history of terror
Speaking through a translator , Ginzburg
painted a bleak portrait of a history of
terror that has plagued Russia since thC'
Reds came to power. Sixty-six million
lives have been sacrificed to laying down
an undisputed authority base for the
Communists, .he noted. The reign of terror happened, not by accident but to
fulfill particular goals. It was necessary
for people to be afraid of the new·regime
so they wouldn't resist. The "historical
memory of the people" had to be
eliminated so no one could conceive of
an alternate form of government. The
Russian intelligentsia had to go.
Religion also had to be stamped out and
the best elements of the peasantry,
destroyed, Ginzburg said. Many' -re
exiled from their homes to "impossible
places" within the Soviet Union. In thC'
Ukraine, a "fictional famine caused
millions to die." The Crimean Tartars-charged as a bloc with anti-Soviet
activity-w·ere banished by canle car to
hostile environments: more than 40 per
cent of their population of 2SO ,OOO
perished.
No rlgbts remalaed
The regime also had to create a judiciallegal system that would systematically
deprive individuals of their rights until
at last no rights remained. One of the

more insidious methods of doing this ,
Ginzburg suggested , was establishment
of the internal passport system in the
1930s. No citizen of the Soviet Union
can stay in one place for more than three
days without an official residency permit
from the government-something the
regime is not obliged to grant. This
keeps people from seeking jobs, interferes with getting an education and is
best described in one word: repress.ive.
The internal passport kept the Tartars
(who were " officially rehabilitated after
the death of Stalin") from returning to
their native Crimea even though they
were absolved of guilt .
It was not until 1956 that a human
rights movement emerged for the first
time , Ginzburg-who is in his
40s-related . That was the year Nikita
Khrushchev revealed shocking truths
about Stalinist repression . That was
when the first resistance exploded in
Poland and the time of the ill-fated
Hungarian Revolution.
By the end of the 1950s Ginzburg
himself had become disenchanted with
his career as a journalist in Communist
society . He found it increasingly
" unpleasant to read his anic les in the
papers and not recognize them because
of editorial censorship ." He tried
sports, literature, scandal , but could
find only one topic on which hC" could
write censorship-free : ballet.

counts with the official transcript of the
.. Show Trial " of Russian authors Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel-a trial
which culminated in lengthy prison
terms for both for the crime of having
their works published abroad under
pseudonyms . Ginzburg's "White Book "
on the trial showed how Soviet justice
worked (or failed to wort). He took a
copy of it to the KGB and threatened
them with its release-unless the two
writers were freed . He took the same
course of action with deputies in the
Supreme Soviet. Once the book was
published in the West, he stood trial
with three others (including the secmary
who had typed tbe manuscript). This
time, he drew five years at hard labor, a
sentence which resulted in formation of
the Initiative Group for rh~ Defeo~ of
Human Rights in the USSR by in·
dividuals sympathetic to him .

Ginzburg came out of this second prison
term in 1972 a very sick man wilh ulcers

Moscow and his wife was forbidden to

1974, he was named adminislrator of the

each year since becoming president in
·1970. He appeared this time, however,
in a new light , having recently announced his intention to ste p down from
his post as president at the end of this
yea r.
Ketter appeared Friday at the invi tation of The Spectrum, U/ B' s st uden trun newspaper. The event drew a
primarily student audience of about 200 .
Some came armed with prepared questi ons, many of which were drawn from a
list of concerns published in th at day' s
issue of The Spectrum .
Unlike the heated atmosp here of such
meetings duri ng the early yea rs of the
Ketter presidency , when the political
climate of the 1970's was refl ected in the
volatility of major universi ty campuses
across the country, Friday's questioners

Editor:
According to t he Reporter (2 April
1981 ), Indonesian official Bomer
Pasaribu in his recent visit to U/ B
disc ussed ignorance, poverty, and overpopulation in Java, treating briefly the
"transmigration" policies designed by
the Indonesian government to help
alleviate these problems.

to a great extent responsible for the

(reforms and programs sadly lacking in
Indonesia); with ninety per cent of their
arms supptied by the U.S. (including

Terminally ill can remain active, prof advises
By MARY BETH SPINA
Occupational therapy-freq uen tly
prescribed for patients recovering from
illness or injury-should also be ordered
for those terminally ill people who want
to remain as active as their conditions
allow, believes a U/ B professor and
therapist.
Unfortunately, says Kent N. Tigges,
occupational therapy is seldom prescribed for these patients, many of whom
prefer to spend their last days at home
rather than in a hospital. They can be
helped, however, by regular exercise
linked to daily activities as well as by
assistive devices which encourage in ·
dependence.
Tigges, who vo lunteers his profes·
sional services to patients of Hospice
Buffalo, Inc., recently returned from a
six-month sabbatical in England working with patients and staff at several
facilities which serve the terminally ill.
A well-known concept in England
where it originated 20 years ago , a
hospice aims to keep terminally ill patients as pain-free as possible but does
not seek futilely to "cure the incurable."
Quality of life is considered most important with hospice staff giving patients
and their families continuing suppori.
An alternative to dying in an acute
care facility, hospices are favored by
those terminally ill patients who expect
no medical reprieve and want to spend
their remaining time as pain-free and
productive as possible in a setting of
their own choice.
"While medicine looks on death as a
'failure, ' hospice staffs tend more to
view it as a natural coroll ary to life, "
Tigges points out.

Quilty of life can be Improved
He says his-experiences both locall y and
in England indicate that, orice the terminal patient's pain is relieved, energies
spent coping with it can be channeled into productive activities which improve
quality of life in the weeks or months
left.
" Those terminally ill with cancer, for
instance, typically become weaker as the
disease progresses. But they can learn to
get about in a wheelchair, to fix meals
for themselves from the chair and ·to
care for daily needs using assistive
devices," he notes.
Learning new ways to care for oneself
or new activities to replace those which

are no longer feasible allows many ter·
minally ill people to spend their time
with those tbey love in familiar surroun ·
dings. This, says Tigges, is preferable to
spending that preciouS time in a hospital
co nnected to tubes and machines which
cannpt save the patients from the in·
eviufl)le.
While Hospice Buffalo, Inc ., current ·
ly accepts only terminally ill ca ncer. patients, English hospices are starti ng to
take those who are dying of any illness.
Without exception , Tigges says ,
hospice patients with whom he has
worked In England and locally wanted
to remain active and productive as long
as their conditions allowed .

area and specially trained nursing staff,
will be opened there. Patients affiliated
with the local hospice as well as those at
irs English counterpartS may be admit ·
ted for medication adjustments or for
palliative treatment. They may also
choose to die in the hospice rather than
at home for various reason s.
"One patient confided she felt it
would..J&gt;e impossible for her husband to
remain living in their home if she died
there," Tigges recalls .
Other patients. too ill to return home
in their last days, were also admitted to
English hospices where famil y, friends
and even pets were allowed to visi t and
stay as long as they liked .

One regained self-rapect
One English patient, a muscular steel
worker before his cancer got the better
of him , scoffed at Tigges' suggestion of
therapy to keep active. Very depressed
over his illness , the man had little desire
to go home and suffered shrinking self·
respect in the face of his condition.
Urged to try making magazine rack s
and nower pot containers , he grudgingly
agreed. 'To the man's surpri se, hi s
friends and neighbors were impressed
with the articles he made and soon, he
had a brisk business at home . Al l pro.
ceeds he donated ro the hospice .
" When I left England, he was extremely proud of his work and had
regained a lot of his self-respect by being
productive .and needed once more." says
Tigges .
In other cases , families apprehensi ve
about being able to care for their ter minal loved ones at home were relieved
to find the patients had learned new
ways of caring for their needs, minimizin"g the necessity to stay in an institutional setting.
Equally important , the occupational
therapist assists famil y members to
know how to best help their loved one
maintain the ability to continue to be
productive in work, self-care and leisure
activities . The lasl thing anyone wants ,
notes Tigges, is to be placed in a sit uation where he or she is made dependent .

In England they get heroin
"A main difference between local and
English hospices.' ' Tigges poi nt s out, is
in the medication for pain . " There, patients are given heroin , which is not legal

he see a patient groggy from the drug
nor did he observe any who appeared
"doped up" or incoherent.
"The setting there is more informal
than at health care institutions, with
staff doing things in addition to those
for which they're trained, •• Tigges ex·
plains . He helped feed patients, dressed
them, bathed them, and talked and
prayed with rhem as did other staff
members .
Tigges says it was extremely rewarding
to see physicians, nurses and therapists
working side-by-side assisting each other
and sharing responsibilities in a smse of
fellowship.
Frequently, hospice patients admitted
for medication adjustments were in the
ward when others died. "They saw that
the last stages of dying were so peaceful,
that it made them less fearful of their

own death," Tigges adds.

Beckett: 'concise, devastating, uplifting'
By ANN WHITCHER
An old woman sits roc king, her grey ha ir
pushed beneath a funn y hal, her face
liilaxy and ashen. She wears her mo ther's .
sequined black fun eral gown an d rocks
to the wo rd -mu sic of her you nger

self-her memories. T hese carry her "to
and fro ," back int o herself and inexorably toward dea th .
The scene, o f course, is from
Rockaby , Sa m ue l Beck ell' s o necha rac ter "d ra mati c poem " th at
premiered here last week wi th Billie
Whitelaw in the single role. On stage,
Whitelaw says barel y a thing, except for
a few muffled wo rds a nd qua king calls
of .. more" when the record ed voice
Stops. But Wh itelaw 's taped voice is a
real stage presence; it is ri ch and prescient, husky and a ffectin g.
In a pre-play inrerview wi th the Buffalo News, director Alan Schneider
warned potential theat re-goers not to expect conventional theatre . Said he:
Rockaby is a " theat rical poem or
musi~ poetic theatre ... and simply not
susceptible 'to a single meanin g. So if
your interpretation of Rockoby and that
of someone else whose opinions you admire and respect don ' t agree, it's no
cause for concern. There's probably
room fof both views."
lln discussion held the afternoon of
tli,e opening, SChneider and panelists
&amp;ic Bentley, Martin Esslin, Ruby Cohn,
Rilymoi:ad Federman and Saul Elkin,
sP-Oke repqtedly of Beckett's increasing
ueonciseness . ., Rockaby. they indicated, is ~ kind of siiigle, slowly
leashed . phor wit~ the visceral
pbwer, of a :Sing!~ visual image.
ScliDeidcl: _hs&gt;ICd that this "was, the
rm time" &gt;IJ;t'd fieard the reviews before
t&amp;C: , play, adding that · Roc:kaby's
"spi(itual strength and intensity" do not
lie In "explication." Martin -Esslin,
llcCkctt scholar now at Stanford · and
forma- cf...ma director for the BBC, said
Beckett's tbcatre is ·one of metaphor. In
tbe case ~f Roc:kaby, be . said, the
metaphor "will gt;nninate in you ...
yam latai ·it wtll be 'worki08 in you. "

a

Even wh ile still in the Ce nter Theat re.
th ere is this effect , some though!. Every
chan ge in Whit elaw 's lulli ng refrain
came li ke a surge of wh ite- hot energy .
W hat 's the point wilh lhe homosexuals?
Schneider is kn ow n for his religious
ad herence to Beckett 's wo rds. Befo re a
production is mo un ted, Schneider
travels to Paris (where t he Iris h
playwright lives), and consults with him .
Schneider has directed all of Bec kett ' s
plays beginning with a 1956 American
prod uction o f Waiting f or Godot, two
years after the English translati on came
out. Beckett had written the play first in
French (En allendant Godot) in 1952
and traris lated it_into English two years
la ter. As far as Beckett 's plays are concerned , Schneider to ld the Kath arine
Cornell Theatre audience that he " tries
to pu t o n stage what Beckett has
written ." No mo re, no less. He's angry
about "'distortions" in staging Beckett ,
such as a recent Waiting for Godot with
Vladimir and Est rago n as homosexuals.
" I've got nothing against homosexuals, .. he said . UBut I don't see the
point. " Schneider reiterated Esslin 's
point about spareness. For Beckett, said
the Ton y-and Obie-aw ard- wi n n ing
director, th e question is "no t to go
wider, but deeper and more concise.''
Schneider said he's "f~cinated with th e
question of length ." His response to
people' who ask if Rockaby is full length? "All Mr. Becken's plays are
full-length ."

The panelists agreed that the Irish
playwright, who has written most of his
works first in French, does engender
feelings of "emotional devastation"
- followed -by an "enormous uplifting ...
But, said Esslin; this is the definition of
catharsis in • any tragic work . Take
Shakespeare's King ~r for instance, he
said. The difference with Beckett: "He
is the 'great' tragic writer ~f a gc;idless
age," one "who sees things as they are"
without recourse to "cheap solutions: •
. (i.e., illltsions of ~ne kiri'd ~r &amp;r,other,
religi!ln, ideology, etc.).

Raym ond Federma n, U/ B Beckell
authori ty and, like Bec kett , a bilingual
nove list and poet , reminded the au.dience that Beckett , with his "superb
and essem ial language," is a comic
wr iter. He inse rt s co medy at " just th e
appro priate momen 1." Eve n in a play
the lengt h o f Rockaby, there are flashes
of humor to relieve the tension of th is
wo man's ha un ting face. As life ebbs, fo r
instance, the ph rase " fu ck life" is inserted into the sad , terrifying yet
peaceful refrain .
A very no n-depressing person

Beckett , said Schneider, is neither optimistic nor pessimistic . Besides, said the
di rector , such labels aren't "releVant"
anyway . While Beckett surely does no t
see life in glimmering fashio n, portrayals of h im ' ' a s a. . so r t of
phil osophical asteroid ," in Essli n' s
words, are way o ff the mark. Becken
loves spo rts. is a big cricket fa n and
often accommodates directors who stage
his works. He is " kind and courteous,"
continued Esslin- " on the who le a very
non-depressing perso n.·'
Beckett 's 1951 novel Malone meurt
(published fi ve years later as Malone

d ies), opens with a long interio r
mo nologue on M alone's approaching
death-all the whys and wherefores, all
the possible rami fications. In Rockaby,
the subject is also dea th , bu t hashed out
an d consummated in a bare I 5 mintttes .
One employs so many words, the other
so few , an d wi th the sparest image used
fo r dra matic effect. Perh a ps it's more
powerful because of the start ling brevi- ·
ty.
Rockaby, whic h Mel -Gussow of the
New York Times descri bed Sunday as
having a "spellbinding" image, was performed earlier th is week at La Mama in
New Yo rk in associatio n with New Yo rk
University. It moves to the SUNY College at Purchase tomorrow night and
then on to Paris.

Rockaby was sponsored by SUNY wide Programs in the Arts, directed by
Patricia Kerr Ross. Co-executive producers of the productio n were Ross and
Dan Labeille, Beckett scholar and a
member of the Cayuga County Community College faculty. Saul Elkin
served as associate producer. Lighting
and cost umes were done by Qvozden
Kopani and Esther Kli ng, respectively.
Both are on the theatre faculty here. 0

Acid Rain:
global issue
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
The Canadians are calling for " seriou s
nego tiat ions" with the U .S . on the problem . New York State' s Allorney
General's office has filed petitions with
the Environmental Protection Agency
because of it. Governor Carey has ca lled
a meeting of governors and high officials to discuss it. The physical and
economic survival of huge portions o f
many cou ntri es are threatened by it.
Acid rain has become a major interna tional issue. On this continent , the
Canadian s have been more vocal and
were first to insist that only a joint effort
between the U .S . a nd Canada can
alleviate the problem in either country .
Last week, Canadian Environm ental

Minister

John

Roberts

told

U.S .

Secretary of the Interior James Wall
that his country wants "serious nego tia·
tions" with the U.S. o n the problem .
It is hoped the negotiations will lead
to a treaty dealing with the issue of
transboundary pollution. A major step
toward this was taken in Augu st, 1980.
when Robert s and former Secretar)' of
State Edmund Muskie s igned a
"memorandum of intent" to resolve international pollution prob lem s . The
agreement ca lled for an air quality trea ty, which would include vigo rous en forcement of air pollution sta ndard s. to

be negotiated by 1982 .

Robert Flacke , New York State com missioner of the Dc:panment of En vironmental Co nserva tion . ha s urged
the EPA to "use it s existing autho rity
under the C lean Air Act to esta blish :
power-plant stac k emission re quirements for sulfates and nitratec;;;
coaJ.was hin~. to red uce the sulfate
burden to the atmosphere; stack
monitoring systems and the installation
of anti-pollution equipment on all plant c;;

buill before 1970. ·· according

new sletter .
In addition , the state' s Atrorne ~
General 's office has filed petitions ""'ith
EPA. requesting that it deny requests by
midwest power plants to burn higher
sulfur coal, the newsletter continued .
Seventeen plants in the midwest are
seeking increases in emission limits .

which , if approved , would add

1.5

million additional tons of sulfur di oxi de
to the atmosphere each year, the Attorney General's petition said . That office has also filed a formal Notice of In tent to the EPA indicating that if therequests to burn higlicr sul fur coal are approved, New York will take legal action .

Local conrere ntt sla te-d
As the battle over the acid rain issue
heat s up, plans are underwa y here for a
major international confe rence that will
focu s on the socia l, political and policy
ramifications of the problem .

To be held on the Amherst Campus
Canadian governmen t worried
The Canadian government is now wor ·
ried that Reagan 's administration will
not be as responsive to suc h a treaty as
was his predecessor's . Statements from
Ca nadian officials show them to be co n·
cer ned that even existing sta ndard s will
be weakened.

SILS at 15:
teel)age success
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSICI
With a total of nine full-time and eight
adjunct fai:ulty ; U/ B's School of Information and Library Studies gives testament to the old adage that "good things
come in small packages."
Since its "birth" IS years ago this
Wednesday (April IS) at the tail end of
the University' s halcyon expansionist
era, SILS bas satisfactorily weathered two accreditation checks and .currently
ranks (according to the. 19~ Gou1111&amp;!'
Report) 21st in the nanoo tn acad~tc
standing. This is no small feat conSidering the only otlier library school in the
State wbicb rank.s better is Columbia's,
a much bigger, older and more established program with its own doctoral offering. SlLS offers a master of library
science, a cooperative doctoral program

but no doctorate of its own.
UWe've moved UP quickly 1 I t observes
SILS Dean George Bobinski, with a

smile of satisfaction.
If the School now enjoys a relatively
trauma ~ free adolescence, during its in·
fancy it experienced its share of growing
pains. In fact, Bobinsk.i recalls that in
1969-70, SILS was almost " phased
out." Apparently, the University, in the
throes of campus turmoil, delayeQ conducting a search iO replace Vl!ice
Giuliano, SILS' first dean who resigned
in 1969. Angered by procrastination and
fearing SILS would soon be scrubbed,
students and area librarians organized
en masse, rallied support for the School,
then confronted Chancellor Gould with
their concerns, Bobinsk:-i recounts.
To this day, that tradition of student
involvement has continu·ed to
characterize SILS. For instance, its
governing body, the SILS Council , is
composed of seven students and the
School's nine full-time faculty . Contrary
to the situation in other repreSentative
groups, students .on the Council have
"full voice and vote," nOtes the dean.

EPA offers a simplified explanation:
•'The major components (of acid rain)
do not start in the atmosphere as acids.
Rather, they generally begin as sulfur
oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides
(NOx)-gases emilled into the air
primarily from fossil fuel combustion in

trucks.
"In the atmosphere , SOx and

Bill seeks
'lump sum'
SUNY budget
Senator H . Douglas Barclay , a
Republican from the 4Sth District,
which encompasses Jefferson, Oswego
and parts of St. Lawrence and Cayuga
counties, has introduced legislation that
would "greatly upgrade the management efficiency of the State University
of New York ."
The bill, which amends the State
finance law, would authorize "lump
sum'' appropriations to the individual
campuses of the State University system.
Presently, appropriated funds are not
available for use by the institutions until
the Director of the Budget has issued
and filed with the Legislature a certificate of approval depicting in what
amoun ts and program areas expenditures must be made. Critics of this
system have long contended that the
process as it now exists effectively allows
the examiners of the Division of the
Budget to act as administrators of the
State University system; a role that
Senator Barclay claims they are "totally
unqualified to filL "
Under the Barclay Bill, the Division of
the Budget would be forced to relinquish
its power to impound monies appropriated to the State University.
Instead, those funds approved by the
State Legislature would be transferred as
a lump sum to tbe individual campuses
of the University system. Each separate
administration would then be aUowed to
expend their allotment in the manner
that they determine would best advance
the goals of the institution.
According to a statement released by
Senator Barclay, this new system would
"greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness or the State University
system .
"It is entirely unrealistic," Barclay
claimed, "to expect that budget examiners work ing in Albany have either
the expertise in t~ if!et6 '0f ·eaucailoiror
understanding of the needs of the individual campuses· to make appropriate
decisions regarding the operation of the
Stat&lt; University .

"New York has gone to great lengths to
hire highly-qualified, professional
educators to manage our State centers of
higher education. It is time," Senator
Barclay continued, " to allow these administrators to do ·the job they were
lrired 'to do:
"I ·am convinced that the adminis. trators' of the individual campuses are in
Ill&lt; best j&gt;ossible position to judge how

dollar. The bill I am introducing,"
Barclay concluded, "accepts as well as
takes' advantage of that undeniable
fact."
In a statement supporting his bill,
Barclay said that as thinp stand now,
" the ·presjdents of tbe State Univenity

The Presidents, he contended,
shouldn't !lave to spend a Jarae am0110t
of time lobbying the Divisioo of the
Budget, tbe State University Board, and
the Legislature for every item they need.
The bill has been introduced both in
tbe Assembly and 'in the Senate, and
spokespenoos for Barclay said Tuesday
they remain hopeful "it will fly."

SILS at 15:

AppaoraMe touals
If appearance counts, a brief look
around SILS' second noor home in Bell
Hall gives the impression that students
and their academic environment are important. Approaching the School from
one stairwell one is greeted by an imposing exhibit which announces that SILS is
" Not Just Anothe r School of

matted .photos taken by facul ty and
students, posters and a brightly colored
wall hanging;

copies of "Put a Buffalo In Your

sketches of this year's graduating class.
This service, the brainchild ·of SILS
Assistant Dean Gerald Shields, is sent to
area librarians, taken to convocations,
and generally made available to those
who might. be in need of a librarian or
infor~ation specialist . A"current listing
of nllllonal job .openings is also within
easy reach of students . Additionally,
Shields, who acts as Sll:S' "placement
counselor," ann lly surveys the
School's grad ales ~o note where they
find employrqent and at what salaries.
Such information gives &amp;!rrent students
a beuer handle on what to expect in the
way of employability a nd future
budgets.
Concern for SILS students doesn 't

either. A multi-page newsleller, with
SILS and profession-related news and
information about' upcoming even ts, is

alumni and area librarians . Moreover,

an annual effort to organize several noncredit workshops and colloquiums to
update and supplement the skills of area
practitioners. Faculty also act as consultants-often on a gratis basis- to
local professionals who need advice on
Jibrary concerns.
Because SILS actively tries to accommodate its students-many of whom are
part-time and range in age from 22 to
the late 40s-it runs a "12-month,
12-hour-a-&lt;lay" operation that, according to the dean, attempts to avoid
segrqating the part-time contingent.
Also, the SJJmtr.er Session is treated like
any other semester, adds Bobinski. So
much so, that graduate students are encouraged to begin course work in the
summer so they can finish by May.
"We have a 'smaU, closely-l(nit program," assesses the dean, who hands advanced degrees to approxi mately 70
students each year.
Originally, SiLS was part of the
Faculty of Engineering and Applied
Scieni::es, which aocounts for its location

aspects of info rm ation-gathering and
retrieval and use of mul ti -media formats
in repackaging and presentation of info rmation . T his was largely attributable
to SILS' fi rst dean, whom many considered a " med ia freak, " notes Bobinski . SILS never thought of itself just as a
school teaching selection and cataloging
techniques. The information explosion
of the past few decades has made th at
notion arcane. What SILS has tried to
do from the onset, Bobinski explains, is
merge traditional libraria nship with
evolving new areas of infonnalion
science from a multi-media perspective.
That's why SILS never cared to ~
known as a school of library science, but
rather a school of information and
library studies. It trains not only
librarian s, bu t also info rma tion
managers, analysts and specialists for
jobs in a variety of information-oriented
environments, including academia,
business, industry ·and government.
While SILS has always had this orientatit&gt;n, Bobinski notes that only in the
past fi ve years or so have other such programs " caught on." As a result , many
schools have undergone niline changes
to reflect their new mission .
·
Annlnnary eelebratlon
In celebration of its ISth anniversary,
SILS is sponsoring a special colloquium
next Wednesday which features Paul
Zurkowski, Esq ., president of the Information Industry · Association ,
Washington , D.C . Appropriately ,
Zurkowski will speak on "Librarians'
Expanding Role in the Information Process." In a sense, the dean views the ap-

pearance of Zu rkowsk i-a man who has
ruffled more than a few feathers because
o f his opinions on the use o f information as a profit- making com modity-as
" symbolic" of SILS' dedication to a
broader ed ucational approach.
Bobinski ex hibits a special pride when
he talks about SILS' program offerings.
Perhaps the most u n ique, is a
cooperative d oc tora l prog ram in
academic li bra rianshi p with Hjgher
Education. likely the only one of its kind
in the country . Now four-years-old, the
program prepares its graduates for
careers as acad emic librar y ad ministrators or teachers of library
science. If employability is a criterion of
success, the program is highly successful. Its fi rst graduate was "snapped
up," the dean reports. Its second ,
finishing up th is. semester, has alread,Y
received job offers.
Another unique program-among
a bout five in the country- is one which
offe rs a double masters in library science
and music history. Run on the Music
end by adjunct faculty members Carol
Bradley and James Coover (from the
Mus ic Depart ment) , the program
prepares students for a career in music
librarianship. In the negotiating stage
are similar cooperative programs with
Law, History, and Management.
SILS may also be able to launch its
own doctoral program in the foreseeable
future. What would make this possible,
says Bobinski, is a transfer of Gene5eo's
ailing library science program to U/ B.
To lhat end, discussions are currently
underway between VPAA Robert
Rossberg and his equivalent at Geneseo.

To date, however , Bo binski reports,
Geneseo has been very noncommital

That's when you

for a place to live
Now is the time for students who need
off-campus housing for next fall to get
looking.
According to Pat Marren, director of
the student-run Off.Campus Housing
Office (343 Squire), the scramble for a
place near Maio Street is coming earlier
than usual this year because a number of
gr,d students, juniors and seniors who
would prefer to live in University housing next fall .are ~ing unceremoniously
evicted.
"One hundred ninety·seven" of them,
to be exact, confmns Rick Schoellkopf,
assistant director of Housing. But
they're not just being drummed out of
the halls arbitrarily. They're the unlucky
number holders in a lottery conducted
among all juniors, seniors and grad
students now living on campus who
wanted to return next fall.
After so many parents of freshmen
raised bell last year when t-llcir
youngsters couldn't be accoiDI!lodated
on campus (some even kept ther'n home
because of it), University administrators
decided to give into the pressure by according freshmen from outside a 30-mile
radius of Buffalo first priority in
residence space. Upperclassmen, it was
reasoned, are better able to fend for
themselves in finding a place.
If you set aside 1900 spaces for

reasonably be expected to wanf" oncampus accommodations out of a total
entering class of 3000) ·and continue

returnees. ,:,ume 3,.,:J8 wanted to return,
though . That would have meant 800
evictions. To avoid that, Housing dropped the number of reservations for new
graduate and foreign students and trimmed the number of spaces set aside for
transfers. Following some other sleightof-hand, a fmal "cut" of 197 was arrived at.
Thirty-four of those cuts were assigned to grad students and the remaining 163 to seniors and juniors. All
sophomores who want to return will be
accommodated.
Those who have to move are those
who had lived in the dorms for the
shortest periods of time, Sctioellkopf
said.
Have there been any difficulties? Only
about 197, Schoellkopf sighed. All the
Housing Office can do for them is promise first crack at any vacancies that may
occur as other upperclassmen decide not
to return or if freshman demand proves
less than expected .
Pledaes woa't put • roof over
y011r !lead
.
Pledges and maybes, fine, but according
to Ms. Marrett, those being "evicted"
have to start looking now. Most leases in
the student housing ghetto near Main
Street expire at the end of May. So if
you want a decent place come fall and
aren't attending summer school, you not
only have to find a place, you also have
to tine-up a sub-let.
Finding comfortable, affordable
housing within easy walking distance of
Main Street isn't easy, Ms. Marrett ex·
plains. To begin with some of the rents
are ''ridiculous, '' because landlords
know it's a seller's markel. An average
rent, she advises those not familiar with
the rates, is between SSS and $100 per
month per person . Some landlords get
up to $125 per person . Based on four
bedrooms and four persons per flat ,
most of the faciUties go for S400 a
montti. But, cautions Marrett, utility
bills for some of these older places can
often run as high as the rent, something
most first-time renters don't take . into
consideration.
Students also should be alert to accommodations that don't meet local
housing-codes, Ms. Marrett warns. An
unscrupulous landlord may sometimes

rent an apartment, for example, with a
walk-through bedroom (a bedroom
which has to be traveled through

to

get

to another), or a third floor accommodation without two forms of exit.
Both these are against the law , and
students found occupying such facilities
are summarily evicted-lease or no
lease.
,
David Meckle, a housing specialist
with the UniversitY Heights Community
Association, has started an inspection
tour of homes in the area to check on
such violations. The action is a result of
concern by property owners about the
quality of their neighborhood .
Absent.. landlords cause problems
Many rentals available to students in the

area are owned by absentee lal&gt;dlords
who view the properties simply as

money-makers and do nothing by way
of upkeep or improvements. W.hen any
wort is done on some of these houses,
Marrett notes, it is simply to chop-up the
available space into even more
bedrooms in order to get higher rents .

A survey by Off-Campus Housing
reveals that six or seven individuals own
as many as IS to 20 houses apiepe in the
area. Absentee ownership also -makes it

difficult for students to get back security
deposits , Marrett warns. A student going home to New York , say, isn't going
to waste his or her time tracking down a

landlord in California. Some shady
landlords count on this.
Off-Campus Housing has a number
of services designed to help st udents

make the best of this not-altogethergood situation. While there is no at-

tempt to check out every liSting filed
with the office, forms are available on

which students who have had bad ex periences with a given landlord or property may warn others .

The Office issues pamphlets and
guides to prospective renters, one called

"How To Survive Your Landlord" and

vice, how to co mplain to the gas and
elect ri c co mpanies , tips on vo ter
registration, first aid, and energy conse rva ti o n , and even reci pes for quick pi zza,
bran mu ffi ns and brownies .
As part of an outreach service, OffCampu s Hou sing is sponsorin g a forum
tonight (April 9) at 7 p.m . at JSS
MFA C, Ellicott , to prov ide information
lO st uden ts forced to fi nd housing on
their own for next year. A lawyer from
G ro up Legal Services will be present.
Ms. Marret t notes that while there are
reasonable numbers of apartment s
available in the Lisbon-MinnesotaC uster area near Main St reet , those with
visi ons of liv ing off campus in Amherst
are a pt to be disappoi nted . Only soc alled "deluxe" apartments are
a vailable there, along with an occasional room in someone's home. For the best
possible housing, Marrett recommends
Jiving a mile and a half or more away
from M_ain Street where a.vailabilitie:s
tend to be both cheaper and nicer.

No relief in siKbt
Large numbers of st uden ts live in the immediate University Heights area, but an
exact estimate is not available. Ms. Mar-

rett does estimate that for the 1980-8 I
academic year approximately 3,()(X)
students found apartments in the

neighborhood through her office.
She notes that tensions exist between
students and many of the older residents
in that neighborhood, and urges
students to realize that part of their
responsibilities as tenants is to be good
neighbors.
The sometimes unfortunate si tuation
that exists in student housing could be
avoided, Marrett feels. if the University
providccf enough places on -campus for
students. Prospects for that, however,

are bleak. The State is dealing with
enrollment estimates for the next decade
or so that show a dwindling student
population. There is little incentive for

building living accommodations which .
if the estimates pro ve correct , ma y si t

empty .
Recentl y, SUNY / Binghamton took
over a nearby motel complex to prov ide
addit ion al hou s ing. and u ; s· s
Schoellkopf notes that sta te and local
administrators continue to monitor the
sit uation here . But nothing concrete by
way of relief is on the horizon .
Some have suggested thai in the face
of inflation there will be an everincreasing demand for low cosr onca mpu s hou sing. But Schoellkopf isn 't
too sure about that. The room rent for a
double occupancy room on campus nex t

fall will be SSSO a person per semester. If
yo u get three or four people together ,

says Schoellkopf. you can probably find
a very nice apanment fo r the same
money .

DuPont awards
U/B $8,000
The E. l. DuPont de Nemours &amp; Company has awarded an S8.CXX&gt; Science and
Engineering Grant to two depanment s

another, a "Guide to Student Living."

The former has been prepared in
cooperation with Group Legal Services
and sets out in detail ihe responsibilities
of both landlords and tenants, provides
sample leases, and offers information on
repairs and security and utility deposits.
The book also contains an inventory and
condition report to·be filled out on moving in and when moving out. Students

are urged to have 'landlords sign these
records to avoid later disputes. Group
Legal Services, incidentally, will revjew
and recommend changes in any lease
that a landlord may present-at no
charge to students.
The "Guide to Student Living" goes
into more personal matters, including

such things as how to get Cable TV ser-

Rowan was recently mentio ned in a Dbconr
Magazine: article called "Burden of the Beasts," &lt;~
story concttnin.g what the magazine called a new
kind or activism aimed at developing alternati vn
to experiments on animals . He was cited as having
been involved in a campaign against the Rt'VIon
C osmetics Company, charging that the glamorou£
manufae1urer tonures rabbiu in testing iu eydiner
products. Rowan has made a detailed critique or a
test which Revlon allegedly uses in which it injects
substances in the eyes or rabbit.s whose heads arc
hdd briefly in stocks to restrict movement. Effects
or the substances on the rabbits arc: scored from
mild reddening to ulceration and blindness
Rowan contends the test is outdated and im precise
and proposed that tissue cultures bre developed to
provide tM needed infonnation . Rt'VIon denies
that rabbits recrivt a dOSt' that is a nything more
than mildl y irritating.

GRE AND MAT TESTS
Concern has been e:a:pres.sed about the sinaJe administration (12/ 12181) in New York of the ORE
Aptitude Examination this year. It shoukt be noted
that scores from GRE's and MAT's may bt' sent to
New York State institutions from test centers outside of tbe state. (This defeats the rationale for the
legislation!) Although il is an imposition on
students, they may wish to take the tests at one of
those centers . The nearest one is: Gannon CoUege,
Erie, Pennsylvania, 814-871-7000.

Campus ministry staff people. as one,

not always been easy over the past fifty
years. Nevertheless, they affirm that it
has been a rewarding experience. Consistent with past periods of stress they
also look forward to a future or

Campus Ministry's history
is a story of success u~der stress
A pious old adage declares that man's
extremity is God's opportunity. A varia·
tion on that theme seems to characterize
the history of campus ministry at V/ B.
~mpus ministry has been an integral
part or student life since the rounding or
the institution. But it has been a story or
success under stress.

:f! Since' ilie' days or ·the

firsi" r.-;u:thne
chancellor, Samuel Capen. 1922·1950,
the University of Buffalo has enjoyed a
liberal tradition or academic freedom .
Unfortunately, in many quarters the
definition or "liberal" was restricted to
mean only "Without recourse-to, advice
or consent or religion ." Chancellor
Capen himself was a religious person
and was not opposed to the practice or
religion on campus, but he could
become very doctrinaire when the principles or liberal education came under
attack. One interesting vignette from his
tenure~ for example, recalls the occasion
when the chancellor found himself in the
precarious position or having to defend
one or his faculty who began a class with
the provocative comment ' ' Jesus Christ
was the biggest bastard who ever lived I"

lleplo bl laidal of CODiroveny
Curiously enough, organized campus
ministry was begun in the midst or such
conlroversy. Whether its inception occurred in spite or or because or the
prevailing atmosphere has never been
determined. Significantly, too, the
primary impetus to initiate campus
ministry came from faculty and students
themselves long before denominational
judicatories saw any need or potential
for such work. A Dr. Gilsinger of the
Classics Department was one or the ftrst
to orpnize a Greek Orthodox ministry
Uling his own office as the logistical
center for the group. Dr. Selig Adler
from Hislory ap~ntly did the same
for early Jewish groups.
The ftrst fuU-time staff person on
campus was a Father Ray Murray who
established a Newman Club (Roman
Catholic campus ministry) in 1934.
Hi,llel, under Rabbi Justin Hofmann
foUowed in 1946; Inter· Varsity Christian
,FeUowship in 1947. In the early 'SOs, a
Protestant Campus Ministry Program
combined the efforts of the Buffalo
Council of Churches and the United
Ministry in Higher Education, while a
small Baha'i Club was established in the
middle of the decade. Locations for offices were found in various buildings on
and orr campus.
It was this apparent need for office
space, in fact, that best illustrates the

second

major challenge to campus

ministry . In the early '60's a new student
union was on the arc hitect's drawin g
boat d . Include4 i.n the specificatiol'!s was

a com plex of small offices for campus
chaplains with a spacious reception area
linking them all. Hopes ran high . Bu t
just then the fo rm er private University

:or Buffalo decided to .join the St.ate
University system. According to the new
regulations, no State property co uld be
used for religious purposes which we re
denominationall y identifiable . Academic Advisement in 205 Squire Hall, conse·
quently, can thank campus ministry for
its very serviceable offices today. The
various religious groups on campus had
to be satisfied with a much smaller room
next door which served as the headquarters for an umbrella student federation calling itself the Council of
Religious Organizations.
Selba~k oa.ly temporary
The setback, however, was only temporary. With the incorporation of the
University of Buffalo into the State
University of New York as one of the
system's four university centers, the
local campus population multiplied .
Numerous other religious groups now
recognized a new urgency for ministry .
The Wesley Foundation (United
Methodist Campus Ministry) began in
1964; International Students Inc. in
l96S . Lutheran Campus Ministry,
presently headquartered at Resurrection
House, was initiated in 1966. Campus
Crusade for Christ came on board in
1969. Again it was a case or success
under stress.
The period or campus turmoil in '69
and '70 provided a third serious
challenge to campus ministry as it did to
practically aU other structures on campus. The church was accused, often
justifiably, as too p~pied with concerns or self-preservation rather than the
needs or the disenfranchised in our
society. At this juncture many of ~he
religious "clubs" disappeared in favor
or more direct involvement in the problems or campus life as a whole.

Eventually beneficial
From the perspective of history ,
however. this difficult period or adjustment, too, produced several circumstances which were eventually
beneficial to campus ministry. Up until
then, ministry personnel were technically trespassers on campus. In view of the
chaplains' contributions .during the
period or campus unrest, attempting to

mediate peace and to protect st udents
from physical harm , the University in
1970 officially recogni zed campus
111inistry as an in tegral part of cam pus
life. Full time campus pastors, priests,
rabbis and lay directo rs of religious
groups were given status as qualified
faculty-without financial remunera.
lion, of course. Simultaneously the
Religious Studies Program, responding
to st udent demand, was ioitiated. Many
chaplains found significant avenues for
service as adjunct faculty in the prO·
gram. In addition, several more religious
agencies were added to the List of cam·
pus ministries. Chabaid House was
est.ablished in the early 1970s and the
Cam pus Messianic Fellowship in 1975 .

The cont in uing transition from the
old Main Street Campus to Amherst in
the past few years has provided the most
recent strain to campus ministry's effec·
tiveness. Problems of personnel and the
avai lability of space on two campuses
have serious ly depleted ministry
reso urces. But again the challenge is be·
ing met. Gradually the various campus
ministry groups have come to realize the
necessity to assist one another if services
to the combined campuses are to be continued responsibly. As a result , the Campus Ministries Association was born,
succeeding as it were the old Council or
Religious Organizations. Space was
found for the new Association office in
Norton 212 where campus chaplains are
available for information and counsel·
ing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m . each day.
Among the Association's aims is the
goal to build trust and cooperation
among the groups leading to some coordination or programs where practical.
The Association also functions to
register new campus ministry oraanizations and to recognize incoming personnel. It seeks to insure that students are
served rather than exploited. Among the
areas where the Association is active are
the ori~tion program. the UniversityCommunity Day. infirmary visitation
and chaplaincy services for athletic
teams. Among its recent projects have
been the publication of a tract on campus cults. the sponsorship or an
OXFAM fast. a letter to all campus
organizations re-affirming human rights
and a current effort to collect contribu·
tions for famine stricken refugees in
Somalia , East Africa.

membership of the Campus Ministries
Association . Three have joined within

Grabiner offers
a clarification
Edllor:
This letter is written in clarification of
remarks of mine given in a telephone in·
terview with your paper and pqtaining
to the- shooting of' President Reagan .
Some of my remarks were reported in
last week 's issue of the Reporter. It must
bt: said here that telephone interviews in·
variably elicit much more information
than is printed . This is panicularly the
case when a number of people are inter·
viewed about a significanl issue within a
short time of the newspaper's deadline.
That being the case. I would hope that
you r readers will appreciate thi s
clarification .
_c._
The shooting of the Presi&lt;tent and -the
woundi ng of three other people is a rerri·
ble thing. It must be condemned . Indeed. the govern ment of Nicaraup1a
sent a telegram of support for the President and of condemnation of the shoot ing. There are, however. deeper issues
which should also be addressed . While
gun control may be an attempt at
preventing such events as this shooting
or others, there seem to be more fun·
dament.al or underlying features related
to violence in American life. And . some
of the examples of these more fundamental features were noted in the
Rt!porter·s coverage of my remarks.
I hope that your readers will appreciate this ~larification in light or the
difficulties or "on-the-spot" telephone
interviews for the press, particularly in
the haste or a close deadline situation.

General de Ga ulle's fei sty 1967 cry of
"V ive le Quebec Libre" did not set well
wit h Canad ian officials. After all , a
sho ut of "Long Live a Free Quebec,"
uttered in slow, deliberate cadences.
{and in Mo ntreal , no less) was bo und to
set Ottawa on edge . De Gaulle's compariso n of Quebec's status to the Naziocc upation of France didn ' t help mat ters.
The latte r statement was a "mislake"
said speakers at a March 24 discu ssion
on Quebec separatism, which accom panied a film on de Gau lle's July 24,
1967. visi t to Montreal. Panelists at the
sessio n- U/ 8 French Professor Pierre
Aubery and grad students Gretchen R.
Bou\iane, Aggie Medige and Sylvie Sonnier-agreed this was a high ly dramatic
moment. Even today , they indicated ,
reca lling the tumultuous day helps focu s
discu ssion on Quebec and its relations
with the rest of Ca nada, the U.S. and
France .
DtGaulle dug a hole ror himselF
De Ga ulle's intentions weren 't necessa rily separatist, although the 76-year-old
French president did call for Quebec
self-determination in relation to the
other provinces. De Ga ulle may have
given a highly rhetorical speech ("He
dug himself into a ho le" with the
declaration, said Bouliane). And the
timing of the address was coincidenlal to
developments in Quebec. In 1967, Rene
Levesque was already calling for
Quebec's "sovereignty. " Also, the province was several years into its ''quiet
revolution," a period of great political
and social upheaval. Still whatever de
Gaulle's motives, his dramatic flourish
(at the spot where the English had
defeated the French in 1759), didn't hun
the push for cultural pride, said the
panelists.
On April 13, Aubery noted, the Parti
Quebecois-in power si nce 1976-will
face provincial elections. This year, the
parry is downplaying the separatist
issue, preferring to concentrate on the
economy and comparisons of party effi.
ciency vs. the perceived corruption of
the Liberal government of former
Quebec premier Roberr Bourassa.
'?he traditional self-abneption of the
Qu"becois bas almost disappeared, contended the panelists. But books like
Pierre Vailliere's Whit" Niggos Qj
Amtrica show how mired in..self-doubt
were the Quebec people. Aubery and the
others gave several reasons for this traditional lack of pride and confidence.

w""'

Qaebec:ken
•ararla•
First, the (?u"becois had entered an increasingly •Ddustrialized (and English)
culljlre from an agrarian base. "There
never was a huge industrial class in
• Fra{ice," said Bouliane, adding that
commercial ties with "La Nouvelle
France" had been shallered when

England took over Canada . The educational system played a role, too , they
reported. Based on the French "college
classique" model , it had trai ned lawyers
and clergy, but had left po tential entrepreneurs out in the cold . There really
was no "commercial class" among
Quebeckers until 1960, when the "quiet
revolution " began . Even toda y, most
Quebec college graduates enter the
public, rather than private, sector, contended one panelist. The reasons are
those of subtle discrimination : Personnel offices are dominated by "anglephones;" no thing malicio us, but .. people want to work with those of similar
background ."
The popularization of the cultura l
pride movement was hastened by the
parti pris writers of the 60s who often
presented the subjugati o n of Quebec in
stark, uncompromising colors. Another
plus in the direction o f self- pride came
with the language itself. "Linguistically ," said Aubery, "the language of
Quebec has not been in the direction of
ass imilation . " Spoken a nd written
French in Quebec has gradually approac hed - "standard , international
French." Still, the Quebecois are increasingly proud of their "peculiarities
of vocab ulary and pronunciation ," in
Aubery's words.
'French Canadian' now pejorative
Other perceptions were to change:
Frenchmen were not aJways au courant
about Quebec affairs . And, they needed
to be reminded that the Quebecois were
North Americans, however different
from their English-speaking neighbors.
In fact, the panelists noted, the term
"French Canadian" is now out of favor;
it has a pejorative ring, they stated.
Also, Americans-and others-weren't
always aware thai Quebeckers were
never a minority in their own land.
{There are now more than six million
people in Quebec; nealy 80 per cent of
them, French-spealcing).
Bouliane noted that Quebec is af.!
fected by the constitutional controversy
raging in Canada loday. The 1867
British North America Act, she said,
which established the dominion ,
guarantees language rights to the
English living in Quebec, but not
necessarily to those francophones living
in other provinces. The Quebec people,
she said, do not want language rights included in the constitutional preamble
(i.e. in the Declaration of Rights), a
position held by Canadian Prime
Minister Pierre Elliou Trudeau. In the
Quebec view, she said, language rights
should be reserved to the provinces.
While bilingualism and "bi-culturalism" have 6een mainstays of federal
policy·since the late 60s, Boulaine said
the English "don't seem in a rush to
learn French ." Most bilingual Canadians are necessarily French-speaking,
she added.
The panel discussion and film were
sponsored by International College. 0

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

Shooting of ·President
stirs memories of 1963
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
For a while Monday, many people experienced reactions similar to those they
felt on Nov. 22, 1963: The President of
the United States had been shot, and his
condition was uncertain .
Ronald Reagan was luckier than John
F . Kennedy. The bullet hit his chest and
missed vital organs. His press secretary,
Jim Brady, may have taken the bullet in
the bead meant for him; his condition at
press time is still critical. A Secret Service agent is being called a hero for taking another buUet aimed at the President; a Wasnmgton policeman just happened to get in the way.
The motives of the young assassin are
unknown at this time. His age brought
to mind to some the killing of John Lennon by another young man with a handgun, and th~ words of Ken Kesey who
wrote that tbe glowing circle of the
spotlight in these clays.,u.uhe cross hairs
of a gun in it.

O.T. Murph y, professor of history
and master of Rachel Carson College,
said the shootings for him reflected not
only violence in the United Stales but in
Western Civi lization in general.
"We ought to take a loo k ~t what this
means in terms of raising our chi ldren ,··
he commented . " The U.S . has a high
rate of child and wife abuse . In Atlanta,
they kill children . In Buffalo, they kill
blacks. I don't have solutions or advice.
but I do think that the kind of chronic
violence we have in our culture and in
the whole Weslern world is something
we should look at."
"The assassination anempt is one
more example of the brutality and
violence which grip this nation," Molefi
Asante, professor of communication ,
commented. " In my mind, a nation that
worries more about 'who shot J.R.' than
it does 'who shot the black men in Buffalo' is the incubator or the kind of people who take shots at presidents. "

Thmnaj Buchanan

Shocked by filppaacy

RelaclaDt to eom~~~eat
Several persons on campus were reluctant to comment on the shootings.
Reagan ' s policies had not been popular

among - certain groups,

especially

minorities, the poor, women and those
whose social programs are in tine for his
budget director's ax. One black on campus refused to comment because of
"mixed feelings, the diffiCUlty of
separating my feelings about him as a
political figurCJ¥ith the tragedy of tbe
shootings."
The mass reaction certainly didn't
reflect tbe shock and horror that accompanied other recent shootings like those
of the Kennedys, Manin Luther King Jr.
and AUard Lowenstein, perhaps because
the President hadn't been kiUed.
But, still, it gives one pause when
students disrupt a class exam to make
jokes about tbe shootings until the pro-

fessor liatts the "circus in disgust," one

student reponed. At 22, he remembers
tbe Kennedy and King assassinations
"vividly " he said· he doesn 't think
most 18 'or 19-year ~Ids do, nor do they
consider possible ramifications of the
act. He . fears police-slate-like measures
may be passed by tbe Republican majority as a response to the shootings.

Gerald Goldhaber, chair of the Com munication Department and one wbo
has studied Reagan's popular appeal ,
said he was appalled to hear -someone
say "Too bad he missed" before it
became known that Reagan had been
hit.
"Of course, I'm shocked by the entire
set of events, " he stated. " It reflects
once again on the violence of our society
and tbe high risks that our leaders face. I
also have sympathy for the victims and
their families."
The way Reagan handled himself after
the shooting "reflects his graceful manner, humor and heroism," Goldhaber
said. " He was heroically trying to con·
vey to the public at large that the ship of
state was intact."
NBC bad tbe best coverage
Goldhaber felt there wert "degrees of
responsibility" in the way the networks
handled the crisis. He watched all three
networks' coverage from 2:30 in the
afternoon till late at night.
NBC's Ed Newman presented tho
most " reassured and collected" report·
ing, Goldhaber said , while ABC's
coverage "left a lot to be desired,

Two Buffalo State .programs may move here
Br JOYCE BUCHNOWS~
UIB and Buffalo State_orr.cials are now
negotiatina a transfer of two procrams
from the CpiJeae's Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences to· tbe Department of Health Education Professions
here. An . eventual aoal of the transfer
would be to use tbe programs as a foundation for doCtoral work which would
focus on clinical and basic science
research in nutrition.
Involved io the proposed shift are an
underaradiiate proaram leading to a
B:S. in dieteties, and a g,.._duate offering
leading to an M.S. in the same field. The

undergraduate effon, referred to as tbe
"CUP" Program, provides clinical
tniining in tbe junior and senior years,
enabtina -students to lake certif~cation
exams after araduation.
.
Besides CUP and its associated grad
program, Buffalo State has a Food
Manqement specialty and a "FourPlus-One" Program which leads to a
B.S. in dietetics before completion of a
one-year internship. CUP, however, is
more popular than the others in terms of
current educational practice and is also
moR closely ali&amp;ned in structure and objectives to programs in tbe School of
Health Related Professions here, notes
HRP Dean Harry A. Sultz.

T..- of tile tralllfer
Under terms of the proposed transfer,
Sultz said, students would be allowed to
lake courses at both Buff State and U/ 8
for the first two years. At tbe junior
level, tbey would apply to proarams at
either school. Currently, 16 students are
enroUed in CUP at State, and about 25
in the graduate proaram. Most of the
araduate students, however, are practitioners attending school on a part-time
basis.
What spurred transfer discussions,
Sultz relayed, was a growing realization
among health professionals here that a

nutrition component was necessary at a ·
major health sciences center. Students
here are '"hungry" for course work in
the area, he explained. Also, faculty
with terminal degrees wanted access to a
research-oriented program where they
could get graduate instruction in tht"
field . Simply put, says Sultz, "a health
sciences center lik.e ours is deficient
without applied n~~riti onal expertise.''
Upon recommendation of President
Ketter, Sultz said, HRP applied for and
received a $42,000 Statler grant to study
the feasibility of establishing a graduate
offering and an undergraduate "feeder"

Ed Admhiistration wins
outstanding program award
from national association
The. Department of Educational Ad·
ministration has- been named the recipient of the first Outstanding Preparation
Program Award from the American
. Association of School Administrators
· (AASA), an 18,000-member national
organization based in Arlington, Va.
In announcing the award, AASA
Associate Executive Director William G.
Spady praised. the department, a
graduate program which trains school
administrators and principals.
" Both the Committee members and
those selected to formally evaluate your
written and ora1 presentations were impressed with the intent, integrity, and effectiveness of your program," Spady
wrote , to depaninental ~dministrators .
" It is clear to all of us that educational
practice in the State of New York has
bee·n strengthened tremendously because
of the'Vainitlii-YOU are providing.''
The 'U/B program, Dr. James A.
Conway, an associate professor here, explains, is one of approximately 390 in
the country. The AASA competition, he
says, involyed "major U.S. university
programs and those at large colleges."
After submitting a written report to
the association and-its advisory committee'On higher education relationships last
fall, U/B ..was chosen as one of three
finalists to present an oral report at last
month's winter AASA meeting in Atlan·
ta. There, Or. Conway was questioned
by a three-member review panel of
school supervisors and professors of
education. The U/B professor was asked
to "document" the program 's purpose,
structure and uevidence of success."
Notification of the AASA award came
within a few days; the award carries with
it a $500 prize. payable to the department. Also involved in the program 's
development over the years are Dr.
Roben E. Jennings, acting chairman ,
and Dr. R . Oliver Gibson, former chairman.
Dr. Jennings com ment s, "The

Department is proud of this national
recognition by AASA . Our achievement
of this level of excellence also recognizes
the support we have had from the State
University, our alumni and professional
educators in New York Slate."
The U/ B program offers the Ed.M. ,
the Ed .O., the Ph .D., and a 60-hour
specialist in educational administration
certificate . It enrolls 244 st uden ts; mOst
from Western New York . Or. Conway
adds that the department has a placement rate of over 90 per cent. Also,
many "practicing school administra·
tors" in the area are U / B graduates, he
says.
Although U/ B has been training
school administrators for 30 years, the
award is a recognition of a fairly new
program, in existence only since the ear·
ly 1970s when the Department revised its
program drastically. The field was
changing, the three officials say, and
faculty felt a need to respond to social
changes outside the classroom.
" We pulled out everything, " Dr. Jennings remembers . '·'We especially tried
to pull away from specialization. " The
Committee believed the future called for
fewer school administrators and that
those who would find jobs needed
"broader, more analytical training. "
The program now features an " aidship "
with part.time field work : a n
"associateship," where stud ents con·
tract with a school district to solve a
given problem and a year·long intern·
ship in a school. The latter is described
as the " capstone" of the program .
Such recognition of a university program in school administration is important for another reason, Dr. Conwa y
and his colleagues note. The award
comes at a time when licensure for
school administrators, now required in
quite a few states. is being carefully
studied by the New Yo rk State
Legislature.

Shooting
stirs memories
although they had the best film
footage."
Goldhaber reported that Frank
Reynolds "lost his cool" several times
during the long afternoon and evening .
"I think he was trying to reflect anger, "
Goldhaber commented, "and also I
think he was genuinely frustrated at get ·
ting unconfirmed information . But
then, the tendency of ABC in general is
to use unconfi rmed information ."
Dan Rather on CB$ gave " neutral"
coverage, Goldhaber felt , " even though
he has the most experience, being lhe only one of the three to cover Kenned y's
assassination . He did a fairl y good job."
Haig treated unfairly?
Goldhaber criticized the press corps for
asking "insane, inane and tri vial questions," and added that he felt the media
treatment of Alexander Haig was unfair.
Haig, in a press briefing held shortly
after the shooting, made statements that
he was "in charge" of the White House
and that the Secretary of State was third
in line to succeed the president.
" He was trying to reassure the world
and the country that the government was
functio ning, " Goldhaber said . Haig's
statement that he was " in charge" re·
ferred to the newly-formed "crisis
management group, " Goldhaber thinks,
not the succession of the presidency.
" Too many people are jumping on
him ."
No way 10 change governments
Gene Grabiner, who has .. been an
outspoken critic of Reagan policies and
stated emphaticall y that he is "absolutely opposed to Reagan's militarism of the
economy and his federalism," added, "I
don't think that this is the way to change
governments, unless no democratic
rights exist at all, as in Chile."
Referring to Tuesday morning's news
reports, he said, "1 find it interesting
that the alleged assailant was a recent ex·
Nazi party member. To my knowledge,
leftists and radicals do not have a history
of presidential assassinations . The last
presidential assassin , Lee Harvey
Oswald, was said to have been a CIA
agent."
Grabiner doesn't think that the ·:Jone
psychopath" rationale· is sufficient to
explain the event. "Even if an individual
is deranged, people are not deranged in a
vacuum. There is a social basis for
psychological problems. It is difficult
for me to see this as an isolated case ."

Gun control is not the anSwer for
these situations, Grabiner added. He
pointed to historical periods in this
country in which gun control laws were
used to take weapons away from blacks
and the poor, while permitting the Ku.
Klux Klan and "company goons" to re.
main armesl.
" I' m shocked at the actions of
General Haig," Grabiner added, noting
that Haig quoted from the wrong Succession Act when he placed himself third
in line for the presidency.
" Apart from the fact that I oppose
the individual activity of the assailant."
Grabiner added, " Reagan has been acting in an unconstitutional manner.
There are good grounds for impeachment. "
Grabiner also does not see this inci·
dent as indicative of American society
becoming more violent , since it has
always been so. He sees the greatest level
of violence historically as being visited
by big business against the labor movement, in the workplace through unsafe
and substandard working conditions.

He also feels that Reagan's policies in
El Salvador and domestically should be
brought before the World Court and

think this country is "at that stage of

the level of violence in America, the ease
with which people can obtain guns and
the disturbing level of young people who
are, as one person said, " flipped out,"
is a cause for alarm by all.

'Wicked Witch'
assures she
isn't dead!
Like little Munchkins dancing in a circle,
opponents of a strong Occupational
Safety and Health Administration have
been dancing around the depanure from
OSHA of Dr. Eula Bingham, former
assistant secretary of labor, who headed
that agency during most of the Carter
administration .
Now returned to a post as an analyt·
ical chemist at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine where she was
employed before going to Washington,.
Bingham learned recently from a lawyerfriend that a speaker at an American Bar
Association meeting had toasted her
depanure by gleefully announcing, "the
wicked witch is dead !"
Not so! said Bingham, on campus
Saturday to present the keynote address
at the third Annual Winter Conference
of the Western New Yor Council on
Occupational Sa fety and Health
(WNYWSH).
"The witch is only mending her
broom and distributing more brooms to
her students," Bingham quipped as she
began to address the labor-dominated
group.
Tloe queidon Is ourvlval
The question facing all of us, said
Bingham, is usurvival-living to enjoy
our pensions, seeing tha,t our offspring
are healthy." This is what OSHA should
be concerned with, what labor should be
worried about, she said .
No one in Washington "is going to
save your life and health," Bingham
counseled . Ooly a handful of people
there have ever been concerned about
these issues and that number has
dwindled under the new administration,
she lamented. The new philosophy at
OSHA, she warned, is one of backing
away from gains the agency made under
Caner. They are even taking out of circulation an OSHA publication on safety
in the workplace because the cover
presents a picture of an obviously suffering worker. The new administration
contends the picture is a statement
"favorable to one side."
But, countered Bingham , there are no
sides when it comes to worker safety . A
sick worker isn't favorable to either industry or labor, she argued. "We have
to admit that some jobs make people
sick. If we can't acknowledge that, then
this nation is sick. n
Bingham praised New York State and
state labor groups for getting enacted a
"l'i4bt to know" biU requiriug management to teveal to workers possible
hazards they face from chemicals or
other factors on the job. She warned
labor to be vigilant in seeing that the
State enforces the biD (whicb incidentally doesn't apply to public workers).
OSHA bas now withdrawn its suppon
for a national "ri&amp;ht to know" biU. But,
Bingham predicted, "we are going to
have one anyway. We will do it the hard ·
way, state by state." It's going to be
"the hard way" for industry, too, she
contended, noting· it would be far
simpler for aU concerned to have one national ~Iatino. •
Bingham urged WNYCOSH members
to develop ties with similar regional
councils throughout the country, to start
labor-sponsored workers clinics, to soek
joint labor-management committees on
occupational health where this is feasible, and to reach out to uoorpnjzed
workers with the gains labor bas made in
health and safety. "Labor bas been in
the forefront of every great cballenge
this country has bad," Bingham said. So
it has to be now "where toxic chemicals
Ud unsafe conditions exist."
She uraed those in· attendance to talk
up safety and healtn in their commiiOities, in their clubs and other
organizations. "It must become as
socially unacceptable to kill, maim or
cause disease in workers,'' she said, as it
is to run sOmeone down with an
automobile.
Above all, she urged , write your con-

gressman. Her experience in Washington taught her one thing: elected officials do count letters.

AdvaD«S by t1oe year 2000
Bingham predicted that by the year 2000
technology will make possible the
removaJ of most hazards from the
workplace. She envisaged automatic
monitoring devices in most plants to
detect the presenc~ of dangerous gases
and other chemicals. Dow already has
such devices installed in its vinyl chloride
plants, she reported. Even textile factories-a sector of industry under strong
pressure from OSHA in her day-are
trying to develop a cotton dust standard
for worker safety. There will .someday
be monitors for cotton dust, she
speculated. In fact, by 2000, it will be
possible for workers to read reports on
levels of contaminants in their work area
as easily as they now check clocks and
thermometers.
In that best of all possible futures,
chemical factories will be designed to
contain contaminants , she continued.
U .S. corporations will have modernized
their plants with state of the art safety
equipment and engineers will have
perfected ways to retrofit older equipment with safety devices.
By 2000 also, the question of waste
will be routinely considered before a
plant is built or a manufacturing process
introduced.
Other nations are 20 years ahead in
ergonomics, Bingham charged-that is,
the science of fitting equipment to men
rather than vice versa . "We don 't design
equipment for workers," she complained. " But other nations do. and if
the U.S. iS going to compete successfully
in the world market, it will have to
change."
For example, she noted that in this

country there are no standards regulating vibrations caused by jackhammers
and drills. In Germany, however, there
are. When talking to a German industrialist recently, Bingham asked what
happens when a fau lty batch of hammers is turned out. .. Oh, we ship those
to the United States," came the reply .
OSHA never shu I down aayoltf"
!n a question-and-answer period following her remarks, Bingham was asked ro
defend OSHA 's policy of "i nterference " which has allegedl y forced
man y large plants in the northeast and

Bingham

~

midwest to close.
OSHA standards have never caused
even one plant to go out of business, or
cost people their jobs, Bingham stressed .
Companies who claimed to the contrary
were simply using the federal agency as a
whipping boy; the real problem was that
the plants had become antiquated and
were no longer profitable. In fact ,
Bingham offered , OSHA has made a
series of accommodations with industries simply ro insure rba.r people
won't be thrown out of work. . If OSHA
is give n as the reason for a plant closi ng,
it's only an excuse, she venl ured .
C

New Right seen threatening little guys
Ooly a strongly organized grassroots
movement by the working people of this
country will prevent the New Right and
Reagan politics from turning the U.S.
into "a company t'own run by big corporations with Reagan as mayor," a
labor organizer told participants at the
third annual conference of the Western
New York Council on Occupational
Safety and Health (WNYCOSH) here
last Friday.
Garath "Stretch" Tubbs, cochair of
WNYCOSH and health and safety
representative for United Auto Workers
Local 846, paraphrased Tennessee Ernie
Ford's old hit, "Sixteen Tons.'' when he
declared, "Today we're in danger of owing our souls to the corporations and the
IRS."
Bitter &lt;ri~ of Reapn
Tubbs was ooly one of the speakers at
the conference to bitterly criticize the
direction that the Reagan administration
is heading with regard to worker health
and safety in general and even specific
a{pects of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970.
''If the President continues on his
path unchecked, he will . take worker
safety programs, dismantle them and set
the country back SO to 15 years," Bob
Lattimer, president of Region 6 CSEA,
stated.
·
Frank Wallich, editor of the UAW's
Washington Report, also was not happy. "These are not easy days for optimists," he said.
Tubbs criticized not only the President and his fellow Republicans but also
"our so-called friends in the Democratic
pany, who take our money but not our
concerns to bean, who tell us to expect
bi&amp; things, then tum around and tell us
to lower our expectations."
He advocated a strong political push
by organized labor, sayina union penple
should run for office, even U1t bas to be

" under the banner of a new labor party .
People say third parties are always
losers," Tubbs commented , " bu t we are
losing now ."
Noting that the labor movement can
raise money for other causes such as
United Way and other charities, Tubbs
said workers must begin to '"start taking
care of our own needs, too.
Kemp aiKI Stoc:IJ.mau
''We can 't eat what Kemp and
Stockman are feeding us," he said,
" because it leads to indigestion. Supplyside economics is part of an attack on
labor by big business. It means no more
food stamps, TRA, minimum wage,
unemployment benefits, EPA regulations and corporate taxes, and will turn
out fine for those who make more than
$100,000 a year. "
Labor's supply-side economics, on the
other hand, wiU provide good jobs, a
clean environment and a world at peace,
Tubbs concluded.
Lattimer was panicularly critical of
Reagan politics. " The President said he
would balance the budget and cut inflation, but at whose expense? Safety in the
workplacet"Y~ being had," he declared, as
he noted that not only are safety regulations under attack but environmental
protection laws are also being dismantled.
"Social programs that have done a
hell of a lot of good for a lot of people
are being dismantled," he said. " Our
whole structure wiU be ripped apan by
those who say they have a S I per cent
majority, and if you make less than
$20,000 a year, you don't count."
Wallich said the media have not been
reporting the 'rull extent of what's happening in Washington. He told o'f a
career officer who served as directo~ of
the national Institute of Occupatiohal
Safety and Health, pan of the reseakh

arm of HEW , who was given one hour
to clear out his desk . He noted wry ly
that ir may have been just coincidental
that the firing occurred four days after
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a report on the man's history of social
activism.
Not as pesi8lsllc
Wallich, however, wasn't as pessimistic
as tiie other spealt:ers.
"More and more of our people
understand what's been happening," be
said. uMost importantly, worten are no
longer intimidated and mystified by the
technicalities of health and safery. Tbey
have access to information. n
" Strategies for the era of deresulation" were offered by Wallich. In the
future, he sees workers fighting for
health and safety with more coun battles, such as those begun by victims of
asbestosis.
"More worker health and safety
issues wiU be involved in collective
bargaining," he said. " Health and safety will be increasingly used as an
organizing tool." As an example of an
upcoming issue in white collar organizations, he_cited the increasing utilization
of video-display terminals and noted
that there is very little information
available about potential hazards .
More battles will be fought in the
media, love Canal-style, Wallich conti nued , and more unions will bring appeals to the OSHA Review Commission.

More street theatre
Wallich also sees ''more street theatre
and guerilla tattics'' ahead irt this country, as workers attempt to prove allegations of unsafe practices . OSHA's New
Directions program will take "quantum
leaps, n he said, and there will deveJop
within the labor movement a " greater
determination to win the next
election .

Foreign policy shapes student activism
By PHILIP G. ALTBACH
The major motivating ana precipitating
force behind student activism in
America has been foreign policy. The
combination of the reintroduction of
selective service registration and increased military involvement-or even
"advice"-in El Salvador may signal a
return to political consciousness and
perhaps activism on the campus. This
essay is not an exercise in prognostica·
tion-the prediction of student movements is imprecise to say the least-but
is rather an application of historical and
sociological precedents to an emerging
situation. There are, of course, many
imponderables. The level of military involvement, the existence of a draft, and
the general economic scene are among
them.
Foreign policy issues have historically
been responsible for the rise or student
movements. The first major student activist movement in the United States was
during the Depression years of the
1930s, but the main activist groups were
as concerned witb tbe rise of fascism in
Europe as witb tbe plight of tbe
unemployed at borne. More important,
the large numbers of students who participated in demonstrations and strikes
during this period were motivated by a
concern for foreign policy questions .
The " peace strikes" of the late 1930s
combined isolationism and anti-fascism
(a neat trick) and rallied thousand• of
students nationwide. Whil~ the major
activist organizations, such as the leftist
American Student Union, tried to link
foreign policy questions (and especially
the civil war in Spain) to unemployment
at home and to the crisis of capitalism,
students were mainly concerned with
war-peace issues. Significa ntly, once the
United States became involved in the
war, what had seemed a massive antiwar moveffient on campus disappeared
almost overnight.
Brld resu'lence arter World War II
The brief post-World War Two
resurgence of student political involvement was also centered on foreign affai.-.. Students were concerned about the
United Nations, with building a "lasting
peace" and many were sympathetic to
world government in the idealism of the

post-war scene. Groups like the United
World Fedtralists had a brief popularity
o n campus. In addition, the presidential
candidacy of Henry Wallace, based
largely on the theme or peace and
Soviet-A merican cooperation, garnered
significant support among universit y
students. Once the Cold War began in
earnest, however , the fledglin g studen t
movement collapsed.
The next flutter of st udent po li tical
activism , which emerged after McCarthyite repression stalked the campuses in
the 1950s, was ~imi larl y concerned with
foreign policy. In this case, the theme
was nuclear testing in the atmosphere,
which gradually expanded to a concern
for nuclear disarmament. This modest
movement grew at a ~riod when the
Sino-Soviet split ended the myth of

"mono lithic communism " and increasing scientific evidence was being
prese nted concerning the dangers of
nuclear fallout. While the student movement later took an interest in civil rights ,
it is important to recall that th e firs t impetus was foreign policy .

Vlttnam and the 60s
Without question, the major activists
movements of the 1960s were motivated
by foreign policy-in this case the Vietnam war. As in tbe 1930s, the major student o rganization, the Students for a
Democratic Society. tried to bring a
broader political perspective to rank and
file activists, but the major concern of
most st udents was the war and the draft.
University reform, socialist ideology and
other ideological issues had only a

limited appeal for ran k and file activists.
T he 1960s were a unique period in
which a number of issues came together
to produce a large scale student movement, a co untercult ure and un precedented pressure on universities.
Anti-war feelings-both moral revulsion
and fear-we re the paramount concerns. The civil rights movement with its
idealistic concern for equality was also
important, at least until Black Power excluded white students from the movement. In addition, the rapid expansion
of higher education left many students
with a feeling of alienation, and occasionally universities became the focus of
st udent resentment. But the anti-war
movement was the most important fac_____.,s.. 'Foro!&amp;• polky .' pqo5 , col.l

Liberty
First Amendment
is its cornerstone,
panelists assert
By MILT CARLIN
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom for
all law-abiding Americans, has remained
intact since going into effect in 1791. But
as society changes, so does this cornerstone of liberty, through court rulings.
That was the general message conveyed to a capacity audience of about
150 law students and faculty at a Constitutional Law Forum last Thursday in
J oho Lord O'Brian Hall.
Forum participants were U/ B Law
Professors W . Howard Mann, Jacob D .
Hyman and Lee A. Albert and former
U/ B Political Science Professor Daniel
Novak, who is currently a first-year law
student at U/ B.
Lest you'"tC, forgotten , the First
Amendment states: Congress shall make
no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech , or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble. and to
petition the Government for a redress of
grievances.
Mann , a long-ti me studen t of co nst itutio nal law, labeled the First Amend-

ment "the law of the Am erican co mmunit y."
"Representati ve governmem , ·· he
declared , "is the mos t highly prized

liberty in the United States . I resent subjugation of government in the name o f

the First Amendment. "
Prior ratralnt
In regard to prior restraint, whic h could
invo lve prohibiting publication of a
newspaper or distribution of leaflets,
Mann stated that prior restraint shou ld
be exercised "if it's needed to preserve
government .''
He also to ld the audience th at he saw
"no conflict'' between the First Amend ment and the Sixth Amendmeltf , which
guarantees the right of a fair trial.
"Realism and understanding," he
added, wi ll serve 10 "preserve freed om
of the press."
Hyman spoke on the devel op ment of
obscenity laws and noted that , in th e
fi nal analysis. "regulation o f obsce nit y
matters is for th e courts."
A community's judgment on an)
given morality iss ue, as reflected by a

Anti-Semitism
not foreign to US
" Who are tbe Jews?"
Michael N. Dabkowski came to this
university last Friday as much in search
of an answer to this troubling question
as to speak before academic colleagues .
Dobkowski, an assistant professor of
religious studies at Hobart and William
Smith Colleges, was the guest of the
U/ B Department of History and the
History Council for a presentation of his
paper, entitled "American Anti·Semitism and American Historians: A
Revisionist Critique.' '
The group of academicians and
students who gathered in the Jeannette
Martin Room of Capen Hail to hear his
remarks no doubt came away with a
fresh perspective on Jewish identity .
Dobkbwski surveyed the historical context of anti-Semitism, drawing sharp
contrast ~tween the nature of the practice in America and abroad.
"America's anti-Semitism is clean ,
laundered and legal," he observed,
noting that while, in Europe, antiJewish sentiment has been a major social
and political issue for centuries, its
perceived importance pales somewhat in
contrast with the preoccupation of the
American social conscience with racism
against blacks.
Dobkowski explored how America
does treat its Jews. During the heavy
periods of immigration in the late 18th
and early I 9th centuries, he recalled, the
Jew was viewed as a fit candidate for
American citizenshjp "only because he
was a potential Christian ." This attitude
of religious intolerance became
translated into resentment of Jews .as it
became clear they would not be
"assimilable."
'W bo needs them' altitude ·
America's recourse in the.face of this indomitable strength of will on the part of
the Jewish culture was, Dabkowski ventured, to fall back to traditional
derogatpry stereotyping behavior, stri king a sort of "who needs them anyway"
po~ture. Thus eJRerged what Dobkowski
cites as the "perVa~ive images of the Jew
in Ameqca."

jury verdict, usually shows that communit y's true feelings . Hyman suggested.
One of the difficult ies in enforcing
moralit y laws, he said , is the lack of a
definition as to what constitutes obscenity . A 1973 court ruling, he pointed out,
held that materials could be considered
obscene if they aroused sex ual desire and
libidinous thoughts and lacked artistic
value.
Even so, he added , ''expen testimon y
is needed for a jury to make a decision. "

Levine has pointed out in his new book.
When Dreams and Heroes Dted, the
campus did not sink into total apathy .
Student s became co ncerne-d largely wllh
on-cam pus iss ues, and student lobb1es
became powerful in several slates_ Envi ronmental concerns were expressed by
the Public lnteres 1 Research Groups,
and religious cults nourished for a
while. Minor efforts to mobilize foreign
policy co ncerns met with '-'Cry limited
success . Concern over investment in
South Africa attracted some st uden t interest in a few of the major universities
but in general · no foreign policy issue
was of much attraction to students.
If recent activist history has any
lessons for us. it is not only that foreign
policy questions have had the major impact on mobilizing st udents, but also
that the most dramatic such issues have
been those which directly involve the
Uni ted States and ha ve the potential of
sendin g young Americans into conflicts
which have relatively little public support or understanding_ While mosr
Americans, according to the public
opinion polls, instinctivel y support their
government' s fo reign policy, a vocal
minority is more discriminating _ Very
importa ntl y, this minority includes
many on the cam puses and their potential for ac tivism, articulation of concerns and arguments. and for disruption
if change is not fo rthcoming is considerable. Campus protest has implications for government policy as well as
fo r university decision makers, si nce, in
the las t analysis, it was the campusbased movements o f the 1960s which
helped to stimulate public consciousness
of the Vietnam war_
There is no guaran tee that a pro tes t
movement will erupt natio nall y even if
American "advi so rs" are sent in large
numbers to El Salvador or if American
foreign involvement is increased
elsewhere . It should be recalled that until a very late date, most students supported the Vie tnam war. Nor is it predictable what kind of student movement
will eme rge. The existen ce of an activist
traditio n from the 1960s. a residue of
distru st in government stemming from
\Vatergate. co nsiderable questioning of
the ge nera l goals of American foreign
policy , and a distrust o f the orie nt ation
of the Reagan administrati o n by the
largely liberal academic commu nity all
give cause for concern. The reb irth of a
significan t student movement in the
United States after a decade of quie t will
be a matter of considerable concern . ~

Attention called to
handling of animals
Editor.
I would

lik~

to bring

t~

the

at~ention

of

the Umvers1ty commumty two 1tems per-

taining to the use of animals for research
and educational purposes.
First, on Tuesday, April 14, Dr. Andrew Rowan of the Institute for the
Study of Animal Problems (Washington, D.C.) wiU be on campus to speak
about the "potential and limitations of
alternatives to animal use." In the afternoon he will give a special lecture for
researchers and others with a profes·
sional interest in the subject. In the evening, at 8 p.m . in Haas Lounge (Squire
Hall), he will address the larger campus
audience in a talk sponsored by the
Speakers Bureau and other campus
groups.

These programs are being organized
by members and fr iends of the Rachel
Carson College course, " Animals,
Ethics and the Environment. " ll is our
hope that researcher s and nonresearchers alike will take this opportunity to hear Dr. Rowan and to join in
the disc ussio ns. The moral a nd scientific
issues pena,ining to the use o f animals in

labo ratories and classrooms are comp lex
and difficull. We hope 1ha1 these pr-o.
grams will provide a forum for rational
dialogue amo ng people with differing
views. ( F o r more informati o n, contacl
me a1 636-2 595).
Second, I'd li ke to bring to the atlention of U/ B' s research community the
" Felix Wankel Research Award for
Animal Protection .' ' This international
contest, which offers cash prizes, honors
scientists whose works contribute to the
welfare of animals. A full description of
the award , including conditions of enlry , etc., is attached . I hope that the
Reporter
be able to print the
description in its entirety.
Thank you .

Raises are
discretionary,
not for merit
Editor:
I write this leuer LO correct an erroneou s
impression that is widespread on this
campus. In the March 19 issue or the
Reporter the heading ab O\'(' the list n r
facult y and P' ofessional staff who
recei ved increases read: "699 faculty &amp;
staff to receive merit awards. "The correct term for these award ~ as stated in
the U.U.P. Agreement is " discretionary
in creases'' whi ch more correctly
describes their function.
Though mer it may be one of the
criteria used in making the awards, it is
o nl y one of several. The onl y restriction
in the contract on the use or these fundS
is that they be awardtd solely to.
members of the bargaining unit who
were on the payroll on a certain date.
The o nly measure of accountability that
U.U.P. has been able to establish in lhe
contract is that upon request of a departmental or professional area committee
established for the purpose of makins
recommendations to the College President concerning discretionary salary increases, the College President, or his
designee, shall meet with the commitlee
to discuss the criteria upon which the
College President based his recommendations for discretionary increases.
The provision for discretionary increases is one that is brought to the
bargaining table by the Stale. U.U .P.
has · accepted ihe concept of discretionary_ increases with reluctance
because the above mentioned lack of
criteria or of a meaningful monitoring
system provides potential for abuse. 0

'Activist' chairs Affirmative Action panel
Linda Grace-Kobas, associate director
Jf the U/ B News Bureau , has been
named chairperson of the University's
A.ffirmative Action Committee, President Robert L. Ketter has announced.
Grace-Kobas succeeds Dr. M. Car Iota
Baca. Her term runs through December
31, 1981.
When she was a senior at St. Bonaventure, Linda Grace-Kobas helped "occupy" the chapel there as a protest
against the shooting of students at Kent
State. It was an event neither she nor the
Franciscan fathers have fo rgotten.
Now 32 and an administratorwriter--editor in the University's Division
of Public Affairs, Grace-Kobas still considers herself ·something of an activist,
but her methods have changed.
This past weekend, she "dramatized "
her dedication to day care for children
by spending all Saturday lifting and tugging furniture. She was bdping move
Niagara Falls' Lad and Lass Day Care
Center, Inc. (where she is president of
the board) ·to new quarters.
" lt'Tthe largest and oldest non-profit
day care center in Nia&amp;ara County," she
says with pride: a venture she became involved in seven years ago when she needed help with day care, one she remains a
part of even though her own daughter
has outgrown its services .
Child care is an adjunct to women 's
rights and can't be neglected, says
Grace-Kobas who cut her teeth in the
women's movement when she wrote the
Boflll Ventufl? 's fir-St feminist column
duriiis her undergraduate days.
" I saw what happened when the
federal government cut out funds for
day care for women going to college,"
she says sadly. "Most of those women
are now back on welfare.''
AJbany w ·a day cart center
She believes women attending and working at U/ 8 need on-campus day care and
is a member of a student-faculty-staff
committee now studying that possibility.
" Tbey have a day care center in Albany
for State workers," she points out. " It
was started when an official, a man,
needed child care. Issues like this aren't
taken seriously until they affect men. ••
There's the slightest hint of testiness
as the word, man, is spoken . With just a
tittle prompting, Grace-Kobas will tell
you that " a bunch of white males" run
everything cin campus and in the
world-not always with great success.
Women and minorities need to be involved, she feels .
As bead of the Affirmative Action
Committee it is her mandate to work to
en1iance and implement the University's
commitment to just that proposition.
Tho committee, broadly speaking, is
cbarsul with developing a framework
for UIB under which Mfarmative Aclion can receive maximum impetus. It is
tho "ooascielll:e" of the campus in Affll1ll&amp;tive Action.
Tbe Committee bas been delegated
four ~or functions: to provide for a
~ mechanism for cases of alleaed:-disaiinination in hiring and promoti011 practices;. to encourage the ad·
mission and retention of minority,
women ~ handicapped student£; to
-eJICOIIrllle hirina and _promotion of
minority; women and handicapped
faculty and staff, and to communicate
inforination about the U/B Afflftnative
Action prosram, both internally and to
outside publics.
the panel's f.CCOmplisbments
since ill formation in 1978 have been:
identification of over 100 individuals to
serve 011 J!ievance panels and establishmeat of Klive commissions dealing with
acb of its other three functions. The

to truly reflect all available knowledge
and make it potentially accessible to intelligent students independently of their
raciaJ background and / or sex ."
Grace-Kobas feels the commill ee also
has an obligation to "speak out " about
budget cuts both on the State and national levels which threaten minoriti es
and women . When cuts come, she is all
too well aware, the last hired are the first
to be let go, and special educational programs and affirmative action thrusts
become viewed as " frills ."
The Reagan Administration threatens
Affirmative Action, she contends . When
Reagan talks about putting an end to
"ex.cessive government interference ,
those of us involved in and helped by
Affirmative Action have to shudder."
Indications are that cutbacks and
castration lie ahead for the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) program. "Most of us who
have been fighting for equal rights know
that without a federal push, the progress
made over the last IS year. wouldn ' t
have happened. Companies and institutions resist even with EEOC and Title
VII. Without them, watch out !," she

from on high . The burden, though, is
still on the indi vidual. Crying about
discriminatio n isn't ~nough , we have to
briilg it to the attent ion of the University
and the world .
Unity briap streaxlll
" It ' s important for women, the handicapped and minorities to ba nd
together. In unity there is strength ."
That's why the Affirmative Action
Committee is so important , GraceKobas feels . It brings together various
factions.
For those disillusioned activists who
feel the election of Ronald Reagan and a
sharp swing to the right in America
mean the death of all social programs,
Grace-Kobas has some encouragement.
"We left-&lt;:&gt;ve.-. from the 60s run the risk
of becoming disbeart.ened or so immersed in a struggle to keep what we
have gained that we think we can't go
forward. We can . But it will take team
effort."

Service Employees Association, an.d student organizations also hold seats on the
panel but have not currently appo(oted
representatives to serve. Malcolm
Agostini and George Unger of the Affrrmative Action office are ex-&lt;&gt;fficio
members. Presidential Assistant M.
Carlota Baca bas been serving in an advisory role.
At its March 6 meeting, the panel
adopted a suggestion by Alostini that it
review its rather broad char&amp;•. then meet
with tho President to update it.
Grace-Kobas endones that notion,
especially since a specific assignment of
last year-to help update the
University's Mfumative Action proaram-bas been taken ·over by
Aaostini's office with, of course, input
and advice from the committee.

Those wbo lament the "mountains of
paperwork" involved in keeping equaJ
employment statistics for government
may seem to be arguing simply for less
harassment from Washington . But,
argues Grace-Kobas, "those statistics
are the only evidence we have to prove
discrimination.''
Does her defense of the paperwork extend to wbat many peo ple on campus
regard as "overblown" requirements for
national searches , eVen for PR-1 posi·
tio ns?
Yes, she _ responds with emphasis.
' ' Witho ut those requirements, some
people weren ' t being honest."

Statistics make peop~ listen
All " we 're asking, " she explains , " is
equal opponunit y, a fair chancejustice. If we could rely on the white
male power structure to play fair , we
wouldn ' t need any com miuees or any
guidelines. But history shows that unless
we can prove discrimination, no one will
listen . In many cases, regulations are the
only thing giving women and minorities
a chance to participate in the job
market, especially for non-traditional
jobs."
Grace-Kobas, who served for three
years as chairperson of the Niagara
County Anti-Rape Task Force, regrets a
decline in activism among the young:
" It 's depressing that a lot of you ng
blacks and females take equal opportunity for granted and think they no
longer have to ftgbt. They don 't
remember what happened with the suffrage movement. W.omen got tbe vote
and then got lazy and co-opted. It has to
be a continuing struule.
"We have to make tho male power
structure aware this is more than just an
itch that won't go ...ay. It's a battle."
That's why, says Gral:e-Kobas, "we
need tho ERA." To say that that legislalion "means communal toilets" is just
one more attempt by tho power structure
to dealliabtly with the issues-involved _
"It bas to be taken seriously," she feels.

Boyd-Bowman receives
$31,000 for next step
in Spanish lexicon study
By ANN WHITCHER
Dr. Peter M. Boyd-Bowman, professor
of modem languages at U / B, has been
awarded a $31,000, two-year grant fro·m
the National Endowment for the
Humanities for the frrst phase of his
Lexico Hlspanoamerict~no del sig/o XIX
(Hispanic-American Lexicon of the 19th
Century).
Boyd-Bowman's study follows a series
of already published lexicons of New
World Spanish· from the 16th through
18th centuries. His first lexicon-covering the 16th century-was published in
1972 by Tamesis Books, Ltd . of London . Tamesis is the publisher for the
19th century effort as well as for the
works on the other centuries.
"Quite markedly different dialects
have developed in South and Central
America ,'' Boyd·Bowman explains. He
adds that in each of the colonial regions,
special vocabulary and word uses, along
with varying reflections of Indian
languages, can be discerned . Some of
these variations reflect d ifferent
language use in Spain at the time.
" There is a lot of controversy" concerning which Spanish dialects contributed
the most to speech in America. BoydBowman has been studying patterns of
early Spanish immigration to the New
World for more than 30 years, "with a
view to exploring the historical relationships between the Spanish dialects of
America and those of the P'eninsula
(Spain)."

Analysis of documents
Boyd-Bowman and his team of graduate
assistants have been working on what
they call a "Linguistic Analysis of
Spanish Colonial Documents ' ' or
LASCODOCS. That is, they collect
" practical and representative samples"
of language use from each of the colonial regions. Sources include legal
documents, passenger lists, contracts,
wills, private correspondence, invoices,
administrative reports and military
records. Diaries are also scrutinized. The
idea is to "cover all aspects of colonial
life-to get the widest possible
sampling.'' Slang and colloquial expressions are also examined; documents
studied are usuaUy not literary nor particularly polished.
Tho process is not sweat-fr&lt;e. Each
quote (there are t,housands already collected for the 19th century) is recorded
on an index card, complete with the year
and location. AU citations are then arranged in chronolocical order. By showins the word "embedded in a
quotation," one gets a good idea of its
meaning at the time, Boyd:Jiowman
reports. A typescript for the pulilisber is
then compiled from die in"ex cards. Tbe

In order to obtain his source material,

• ln addltlop

to his . •pecificaily

linguistic studies of colonial America,
Boyd-Bowman has the largest file in the
world on emigrants from " dialect
regions.'' Here are records-compiled
from passenger lists-of some 55,000
men , women and children who
emigrated to the New World during the
16th century.
"Though in conducting this basic
research our primary goal has been a
linguistic one, i.e., to shed light on the
early dialect differentiation of New
World Spanish," he writes, "the work is
designed to be of use to historians and
sociologists aJso. ''
The first compilation of emigrant
data-each with the person's name,
whom they married, etc .-was pub·
lished in 1964 by the lnstituto Caro y
Cuervo in Bogota, under a subsidy from
the John Guggenheim Foundation. This
publication alone contains biographical
and statistical data on 5,481 colonists
who arrived between 1493 and 1519.
Boyd-Bowman's other compilations
cover 20-year periods throughout the
century. The results of these demographic studies show the dominance of
the emigrants from Western Spain,
especially Andalusia. In one four-year
period, for instance, emigrants from the
Andalusian region reached a high of
47.5 per cenUlf all new arrivals. As for
the provinces "well over one quarter of
all new immigrants to America between
1579 and 1600 came from the single
province of Seville." That province's
major city left its mark: Seville itself was
the birthplace of almost a quarter of all
who sailed between 1579 and 1600.
Explal.. dialect slmllaritles
"The continued concentratiOn of An·
dalusians in the Caribbean ports .. . helps
to explain the well-known present day
phonetic resemblance between the
dialects of the Caribbean area and that
of Andalusia. "
As for Seville, "both of our typical
emigrants ... male and female, were born
and raised in the same city, the one that
had dominated trade, the city wh·ere information about life and conditions in
the Indies was more readily available
and pas5a1e to the Indies more easily
procured, than anywhere else in Europe,
the city whose phonologicaUy innovative
dialect was already becoming standardized in aU the ports of the Caribbean,
namely the Andalusian capital of
Seville.',

Overcrowding, environment
pose problems for island nation,
government officialsays here

A U/ 8 undergraduate has won first
prize in Buffalo' s first filmmaking com petition .

By the year 2000, Indonesia, which ·.
presently has 147 million people, will
have become the Earth 's first island-city
with a population of 166 million. An of.
ficialfrom that country who visited the
campus last week d escribed his hopes
that its government will be able to
develop and implement laws so that its
current industrial development does not
destroy its environment.
Very few Americans know anything
about Indonesia, according to the impressions of Bomer Pasaribu, president
of the Indonesian Central Office for Environmental Development. He was
visiting here last week as part of a tour
of major U.S. cities arranged by the International· Visitor Program administered by the U.S. International
Communication Agency. Accompanied
by his State Department interpreter,
-Thomas George, he '\"as hosted here by
Marja Hart, head of the Environment
and Energy Resource Center.
Poverty and backwardneas plague his
ulioa
PaSaribu says his developing country is
plagued by environmental problems
stemming from two sources: the poverty
and "backwardness" of the people and
the high rate of population growth , The
Indonesian government does have a
family planning progranl. he noted, but
cultural values interfere with its being
strongly accepted by the people.
" In our traditional society, one has as
many children as--possible," he said,
"because children are seen as a source of
wealth ahd happiness. They are needed
to carry on family names and if a husband and wife have only daughters, they
will continue to have children until a son
is born."
The government is also trying to prevent overcrowding of the island of Java
by "transmigrating" the populace to
other islands, Pasaribu said.
"Here, too, there is a problem," he
explained. He turned to his interpreter
for aid in translating a colloquialism.
"One of the basic sayings of the
Javanese culture," George interpreted,
"is something like, 'it doesn't matter
whether or not we eat as long as we are
together ·on Java, our homeland . ' "
~ Pasaribu said that in order to move
people out of Java, the government is
"transmigrating'' entire villages, taking
--even the chickens,'' in the hopes that
the people will be more willing to move·
if their relatives, neighbors and animals
accompany them.
Enviro...ental disasters
Environmental disasters have occurred
in lndpnesia, Pasaribu said, but added
that "the peop_le aren't aware of them as
such, so they have not been in the
news." Huge floods have been caused
by too much logging and the resultant
erosion, be said, but the people are not
aware of the connections.
"We ·have a special minister for the
environment in Indonesia but we do not
have one public law," he explained.
"My country is the fifth largest in the
world by population and land area. This
year we bepn to form branches at all
levels of goverruhent for the control of
environmental problems.
"But we are so .hampered by the fact
that we have no laws," be continued.
"It is difrtcUlt to produce one basiC law
in my country because our system of law
was inherited from colonial days, when
we bad 350 years .of Dutch rule. Our
present system is a combination of new
and colonial laws."
Indonesia is becoming more industrialized and its resources are tapped
· by companies that include multi·
national corporations. The U.S. and '
Japan are the two leading foreign na·
, lions developing the country, Pasaribu
said, i.nd for this reason the Indonesian
. people are familiar with American and
Japanese cultures.

U /B student takes
film award with a work
about Amherst's sculptures
John Dombrowski, 20. of Cheek ·
towaga, won firs1 prize in the recent
competition spo nsored by the studentrun Visual Arts Boa rd o f Bu ffalo State
College. Acco rding to Visual Arts Coordinator Mic hael J . Graphix . the
February contest was 1he first filmma king competition held in Buffalo. Sponsors are hoping th at it becomes an an Qual event.
Dombrowski 's Objects and Their
Niches is an eight-minute "interpretation" of four sculpt ures on the Amherst
Camp us: Hammarskjold by Ton y
Rosenthal; 109 by Lyman Kipp; Atlantis
by Charles Gin never; and George Sugarman's Concord.
The idea of the film , says Dom browski, is "to question the su bjecl and
the ground; does a relationship exist between the sculpture and the environment
in which it 's placed. If so, what are the
effects which one has upon the other and
vice versa. "
The film , of course, draws attention

to 1 h~ relationships . In the sequence
on Atlantis, for example, the shadows
formed by the bright sunshi ne give addi·
rional force to the planes and sharp
angl es of the sculpture itself. The young
filmmaker says he tried to approach
each object in a way that corresponds to
its apparent fo rm . Some such as Atlantis
seemed more "formal, •• he notes; the
shoo ting style reflects this impression.
Others ''se emed more fluid or
spasmodic ... In the case of Concord, for
instance, the fil m oscillates wildly.
Dombrowski, a junior. is developing a
special major in English (writing) and
film and videotape (Center for Media
Study). He says his teacher, Tony Conrad , filmmaker and assistant professo r
here , informed him of the contest.
Jud ges were: David Shapiro. direct or
of Media Study/ Buffalo; Bruce Jenk ins
and Jo hn Mi nkows ld , film programmer
and video programmer respectively for
Media Stud y/ Buffalo ; and Robert
Gum. head of the Film Department at
the Bu ffalo and Erie County Public
Li brary.
Dombrowski ' s prize was it Peter Max

Imbalance of Information
"There is an imbalance of
information," he said, "Many Asians
know about Americans but Americans,
including many American leaders, do
not know about Asians.
"We have in Indonesia a saying, " he
continued. "that if you don 't know
somebody, you probably do not love or
feel sympathy or closeness to them . I
have come to the tentative conclusion
that Americans don' t know and don'!
love Asians. "
Although some Indonesian ministers
have studied in America (they're termed
the "Berkeley mafia ," Pasaribu said),
there has not been a substantial youth or
student exchange progra m between the
two countries.
While he was in Washington last
week, he said he had begun discussio ns
with organizations based there to set up
an exchange that he hopes will begin
.
next year.
The primary thing Indones ian
students could learn from Americans,
Pasaribu believes, is disci pline.
" In Indonesia," he explained, " we
have what we call 'rubber time,' a consistent tardiness. In America you have
discipline in the way you work and
study, a responsibility. It is important
for Indonesian youth to implement this
so that our country can progress."

The

C olleg~s:

innovations or failures?

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSIU
In order for educational innovations like
UIB's CoUeges to be successful, two
essentials must be present: compatibility
and profitability. Compatibility, meaning a congrUency of norms and values
with that of the host institution, and
profitability, meaning a "pay o ff, " both
monetarily and in terms of community
relations.
At least half of this message,
underscored by Dr. Arthur Levine,
stood in contrast to the less utilitarian
perspective of Irving Spitzberg, wh o
argued that educational experiments
work when they present an " alternate
system" which offers "an escape from
the limitations of the larger political setting."
Both men , however, met with almost
perfect agreement on the signi fica nce of
. profitability in determi ning lo ngevity
and success.
Levine a U/ B graduate and senio r
fellow at the Carnegie Fo unda tion fo r
the . Advancemenl of Education-and
Spitzberg, a former dean of the Colleges
who is the current .general sec ta ry of
AAUP, took to a U/ B podium last wee k
to present their divergent opinions. The
occasion was a Colleges-sponsored
presentation on 14 lnnovation, Reform
and Change in Higher Education : Mak ing Innovations Work. "

Rockaby is a one-woman play which
will be performed by Briti sh actress ,
Billie Whitelaw. a leading exponent of

growth , a lorm of beauty, love. of
ethers. magic , cloud or ocean . I have
chosen the energizing chevron shape
to emphasize upward growth. I would
like them to elicit joy or delight of
some sort in the viewer ."
A simultaneous show by Art

works. Pease will exh1b1t his figurative

matter is people in positions ol
authority: pol itical leaders, business

Literature
and Psychology
·Symposium
The brochure for the filth an·n~al
Symposium in Li t era t ure &amp;
Psychology promises informality: "a
glorified or glorious. bull session,
rather than a series of formal papers.
on the principle .that we all have
something to contr ibute and
something to learn." Workshops on
specific texts will be determined in
advance for those who wish it. But lor
the most part discus~i ons will be left
open and will deal in a broad way with
trends and current issues. -Topics
from past symposia ')'lay suggest
• some of the Issues that wiH emerge:
e.g. the~ rel;llion of psychoanalytic
criticism to regular literary criticism,
''i=rench F-reud" and deconstructionism, relations between. such cones narcissism -and identity

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

PAPAS students
face fundirzg cut
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
A recision bill sent to Co ngress by
Reagan bu dget-cutters wi ll have a
"devasta ting and tragic" effect on a
group of graduate students here if it is

passed .
The recision bill , if approved by Congress by its April I deadline, would cut
off $33.75 million in funding fo r the 701
Comprehensive Planning Assi stance
Program that had alread y been authorized by Congress and Jimm y Carter last
year. The program provides S2.S milli on
for work / study allotments to support
"disadvantaged" graduate students in
planning and public administratio n projects.
The Department of Housi ng and Urban Development (HUD) allocates
$135,000 to New York State. U/B's Offi ce of Urban Affairs (QUA) has been
receiving funding through the program
since 1973 ; this year, it was alloned
$67 ,000 to provide support for studen ts
in its Program in AppUed Public Affairs
Studies (PAPAS).
" Six students out of the 10 in our
first-year class will not receive support
next year if the recision bill is passed by
Congress,'' William Lobbins , associate
director of the OUA and project admini strator , explained .

Tragic consequeoces
" The recision would ha ve, not only a
devastati ng effect on o ur program, but
also tragic co nseq uences for the
students," .added Frank Corbett, director of the OUA. "While we're not so
concerned about the future of o ur pro·
gram- it will be maintained-we are
concerned that students who have ex·
pressed an interest won't be able to par·
ticipate.

"It is also ironic , " he conlinued .
"that this excellen1 program that ha s
had tangib le benefits not only for
students but for many agencies in the
community has been singled out for
destruction ."

Lobbins agreed that the effect on
students would be hard : "Many of our
student s are disadvantaged and ha ve
taken out a great many loans to get
through undergraduate sc hool. They
ca me into our program with the realiza~
Uon that a bachelor's degree will not
allow much advancement in the fields of
planning and public adm inistration.''
The OUA has taken in 49 students
under the 70 I Program and has
graduated 43. Lob bins pointed out that
for five of the eight years that the pro·
gram has been administered at U / 8 , it
was offered as a University.wide support
project , with st udents from areas such as
architectu re, law and American studies
being provided aid .

Three general purposes
Lobbins explained that 70 I had three
general purposes: to provide financial
assistance to disadvamaged persons.
primarily minorities and females. to
allow these studems to attend a Univer·
sity graduate program to acquire plan·
ning, co mmunit y development and
hou si ng training; to provide stat e and
local government units with an addi·
tiona! staff of pe rsons who " by virtue of
their backgrou nd have special insights
into the problems of low·income persons
and their respecti ve communi ti es," and
to increase the pool of planners and
public managers in the U.S.
Students enrolled under 701 received a
stipend of $3,600 each academic year,
tuition waiver and some travel and book

allowances. In addition to coursework .
they put in a minimum of 20 hours a
week in a comm un ity or government
agency under a weJl.defined. learning
agreement in which the st uden ts receive
internship supervision with the OUA
se rving as backup supervi so r. By the end
of the second semester, the student m ust

co mplete a report or study relating to the
agency.
"Over the past seven years. we have
found that the st udents have produced
significant program impact and evalu a ·
tion repons for these agencies," Lob·
bins said . " Last year o ne agency re~

on ly a relative handful of the some
13 ,000-14,000 eligible undergrads will
bother to vote . Judging from a
noticeable lack of campaign fervor to
date , however , a major turn-aro und .in
voter apathy appears unlikely.

One of the "candidates" is basi ng his
"campaign" on the iss ue of apath y. Jor·
da n Auslander. sole candidate of the
'' Decadent Alter n ative Party,''
desc ribes him self as a "none...of-the·
above·type ." "When you figu re SA gets
o nl y 12 per ce nt of the vo ters to turn
o ut, th ey mu st be barki ng up the wrong
tree."
Just think , said Auslander, Timothy
Sheehan won 1he presidency last year
with 700 vo tes. "That's about the
numb er you can fit into 147
Diefendorf."

Undergrad elections
are now underway
spending of $7 when he waged a "more
serious" campaign.
If he does win and never shows up at
the office, Auslander's not sure anyone
will notice. One pre~lection debate at
Porter last year drew five people, he
recalls. This year at Porter, SO turned
out.. but, says Auslander, that's because
the sub·shop was open . Another forum
last year was cancelled, he remembers,
because people preferred to watch the
USC-UCLA basketball game.
Auslander admires the Pail and
Shovel party at the University of
Wisconsin which was swept into office
on a pledge to put S,OOO porcelain flamingos on the University's lawn. He's
also enjoyed following the French elections where a comedian turned out to be
a quite viable candidate.
This Decadent Alternative not-sohopeful would undoubtedly agree with
former Spectrum editor Jay Rosen who
once observed that SA elections generate
about the same level of frenzy as the
Merv Griffin how.
ACCHO,...._II, too
Yet, there have been accomplishments
in recent years. The organizational
framework for SA has been revamped,
the elected executive branch streamlined. The legislative arm has been split
in two, one section charged with mundane but bloody budget battles; the
other concerned with "issues ." The outgoing Timotliy Sheehan administration
has taken the lead in trying to devise
ways of providing an expanded student
union for Amherst, instead of just
sitting back and waiting for the State to
do it. Student leaders have become more
outspoken and visible in Albany.
Outgoing President Sheehan, in fact,
was in Albany at a tuition hike protest
when the Reporltr called him for some
comments on the state of student
government Tuesday morning.
But SA leaders still spend a lot of time
squabbling among themselves. No student administration in recent memory
has functioned without major resignations and major publicly-aired disputes.
It's part of the game.
Wanting to get into that game this

of president, vice president and

SKUBA's slate IS beaded by Joe Rifkin,

in the U18 Student Alsembly. Rifkin
takes responsibility for the SKUBA platform and whistles a familiar tune: "SA

Specifically, SKUBA pledaes to create

"an air of cooperation" between

SA "outlets" in convenient locations; to

Triumph Is 'shtcere'
Triumph espouses a " no nonsense,
hardworking approach" to student
government. It champions expansion of
"the most popular University events:
Springfest, Fallfest, and Homecoming;"
more 3-day intramural tqumaments;
and upgrading Athletics to' Division I.
Triumph will "stick up for st udent
organizations facing eviction from
Squire Hall; " make its voice heard in
selection of a new president wbo is
"open and responsive to students;" and
"prepare the students to be pro-active
rather than reactive when budget or
other crisis situations develop.' ' It will
spend st udent money more " carefully."
And, says the party, it is "SINCERE ."
Cordell Schachter , the Triumph
presidential candidate, served as president of the Faculty-Student Association
this year; Bill Mack , the vice presidential
hopeful, served as director of organizations within SA and assistant treasurer
and was an unsuccessful candidate for
SA president last spring; Mark Moore,
candidate for treasurer on the Triumph
line, was once chairman of Sub-Board
and has been its acting treasurer this
spring. "Their experience is vital," in
Triumph's view.
For SASU delegates, Triumph is run ning David Ottavio, who has been active
on the Assembly rules committee; David
Fisher, who was the U/ B Senate's first
chainnan under the new SA constitution
and has been vice chairman of
NYPIRG; and Tina Szoke, who has
already been a SASU delegate.
Activist David Hoffman is Triumph 's
pick for University Council. Hoffman
has served as executive director for the
U/ B Rescue Squad and was instrumental in establishing a campus-based ambulance service. He was a participant in
drafting the new SA constitution and as
a freshman led a referendum effort that
turned out the old SA Senate and called
for a new deal in student politics.

With arrangements finalized for a fall
debut for U/ B's Honors Program, an
active search is now underway For
volu nteer faculty mentors.
Just as they are in the Special Major
Program, Faculty mentors in the Honors
Program will be primarily responsible
For assisting st uden ts design individual
programs . They will also help with
special projects , try to untangle any impeding bureaucratic knots, and monitor
st udent's academic progress .
The pilot ptogram hopes to secure
enough Faculty volunteers so each
Honors student can be assigned two
mentors, one from the sciences and
another from Arts and Letters, noted
Barbara Howell , chairperson of the
Presidential Scholars Committee.
Howell relayed that last week letters
informing students of their eligibility for
the program were sent to U/ B' s top 40
applicants . This year, the minimum
criteria (set by the Committee) was a
combined SAT score of at least 1250 and
at least a 93 high school average. Some
400 students met the criteria, she pointed
out , but only the top 10 per cent were offered admission to the program. It 's
hoped that at least half the candidates
will decide to enter U/ B this fall.
According to Presidential assistant
Carlota Baca, who is handling the program's administrative details, a good
portion of the candidates come from the
Eighth Judicial District, about one-third
are women, and the " bulk" have combined SAT scores in the 1,400's. The
highest combined score is 1,530.
Sdpeada, not walven
To provide an incentive For coming to
U / B, it was originally hoped Honors
students could be given free tuition, free
room and a small stipend. Instead,
students will receive a $2,000 stipend
from which they can pay tuition, room,
or whatever they choose. The stipends,
which will come from endowment
funds, will be granted over and above
any other scholarship awards students
may receive.
The reason for the change in plans,
explained Howell, is that SUNY is trying
to institute a similar system-wide procram wbicb offers free tuition and
room. If SUNY's procram acts off the
ground, U/B's students who qualify
under the system's criteria will
automatically become entitled to the
benefits. In all likelihood, U/B's criteria
will be more atJinaent than SUNY's,
notes Howell; so all Honon students
here should qualify. Once SUNY's procram is instituted, local stipends may aet
trimmed.
To help recruit top ltudent«bolan
for falll98l, Howell said abe would like
menton to visit feeder schools to talk
with counaelon and teaclten reprdina
pouible caodidatea. Sw:b visits abould
ensure that outalandinl students interelled in a wide number of subjects
(i.ncludina music, theatre, etc.) are included in the candidate pool. The visits
should also help, uncover exceptional
minority candidates, and talented
students who might otherwise get
overlooked becawe of a low math or
verbal SAT.
No ,...• .,.!loa for facalty
For the pilot proaram, the Honors committee will matcb participatina students

with faculty mentors. In years following, however, an Honors Council-composed of volunteer mentors-will perform this task, and also review the
academic program devised by the student and his or her mentor. Students will
also have the option of requesting
specific faculty as mentors.
· No financial compensation will be
given to volunteer Faculty, alerts
Howell. On the other hand, those who
participate will "have the pleasure of
working with a bright, young mind ,"
she adds .
Faculty mentors will not be the only
members of the University community
to help Honors students get adjusted to
academ.,.. Howell was pleased to announce that her Committee has already
received offers from members or various
student honor societies who want to
volunteer as "big brothers and sisters"
to the newcomers.

Honors seminar
will examine
book by Hofstadter
Students enrolled in this fall's pilot
Honors Program will take a twosemester interdisciplinary seminar which
will examine the 1979 Pulitzer Prizewinning book Godel, Escher, Bach: An
Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R.
Hofstadter.
The two hour (per semester) seminar
was proposed, and will be taught by Instruction Professor Gerald Rising. Other
University faculty will also occasionally
participate.
"One of the basic themes of the
book-the interplay of ideas, metaphors
and techniques throughout intellectual
activity-seems ideal for a group like
this," notes Rising.
The seminar, accordinl to Rising, is
meant to ''give an entree to t.hink.ini in a
variety of fields." Such broad intellectual perspectives will work to counterbalance lbe "narrow technical focus"
reinforced by the coune work of many
University students, he explaioed.
Bcaldes the Hoftrtadter book, Rising
plans to explore related texts on Escher
and Bach and also Lewis Carroll's Alia

specific areas of concern are: Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, propositional

Goldberg looked forward to a clay
when men ancl women are able to meet
"beyond g~ders" as two individuals
with their own personalities and interests.
To get to that point, be said, a man
has to learn to refuse to self-destruct in
the name of masculinity. He bas to
realiu it's OK to call a male friend for
suppon when he is down, that he can
drink orange juice instead of beer, that
it's OK if he can't get a harcl-&lt;Jn on command, that it's appropriate to run away
from a fight when only ego is at stake.
The men's movement, if there is to be
such a thing, Goldberg counseled, will
not be a strident political movement, but
simply a force that encourages men to
focus on the playful, human sides of
their personalities.

That's Goldberg's
advice for all
you macho guys
Relax, BUY5 Califo rnia psychologist Herbert
Goldberg brought that message to the
opening session of wt weekend's conference on issues affecting men sponso!'e!l by U!B's new Men's Growth
Center.
Spealtins to a crowd of about 2SO men
and women, Goldberg hacl them laughins uproariously as he pointed out
ricliculous extremes all too often observed in 11 macbo" behavior.
But he had a serious message, too:
men are in more jeopardy than women
because of social pressures.
The women's movement, he said.
focuses\l)n political and economic issues
because society has stripped women of
their "power side.''
Men, on the othCL.hancl, have been
taught to overamplify tbeir power side at
the risk of their .humanness. They have
become clebumanizecl machines who
don't know bow to relate to others
without competing.
Men, not women, should have started
the movement to change sexual stereotypes because they suffer · most,
Goldberg araued.

In 1920, be said, one year clifference was
all that separatecl the average life sp&amp;IIJ
of men and women. Cwn:ntly, that clifference is eight years ancl wiclenins.
Althousb 10~ male cbilclren are born for
every 100 females, by aae 60 there are
only 70 males for every 100 females. All
the major disease statistics testify to the
clisparity, . &lt;1olcll!er! · noted. . .Men lead
women in ·cancir· clCaths by 4~ to so per
cent. The clifferential rises to 200 to 300
per cent for pulmonary cliseases. Socalled cllild psycbolOSY clinics, be went
on, are notbins more than clinics for little boys. Boys have incidences of
psychological clisturhances 300 to 1000
per cent bi&amp;ber than little girls (except
for schizophrenia), be related.
Women attempt suicide four times
more often than men, but men clie from
suicide at a rate that is 300 per cent ·
higher. "A macho BUY would be
humiliated to survive a suicide
attempt," Golclberg pointed out.
Among women, suicide 1s a cry for help,
be said. Among men it's nothing more
than insane behavior used to validate
their masculinity.
The noted heart surgeon Christian
Barnard, Goldberg pointed out, has
predictecl that by the micl-2000s men will
be extinct. That's a joke, he added, but
all the statistics point in that direction .
Given the way most men act, Goldberg
went on, he is "amazed they live as long
as they do. "
If women are sex objects, Goldberg
complained, men are .success objects.
''A man without a job is like a woman
with no breasts." If you don 't believe it,
be said, try telling a woman you meet in
a singles bar you're a med student and
watch her eyes ligbt up. Tell the next one
you talk to, you're a Roto Rooter man
part-time and ' ' watch the shacles come
clown over ber eyes."
The traclitional relationship between a
macho man and a feminine "earth
mother woman" is about the same as a
relationship between a machine ancl a
dlilcl, Goldberg argued. They have little
in common. They operate at cross purposes. He ·is rational and she is emotional. He is hyperactive; she is passive.
He is assertive; sbe, submissive. He
· takes' risl&lt;s,.$be is tj.micl. They have absolutely nothing in common and are held
tQBetber only by role-playins, -rituals
and religion. Going to cburcb and eatins

- for the minute growth starts, trouble

passive starts to be assenive, it's all over
with.
lcaore yoar IH&gt;cly ud order oteak

Men have been conclitioned to a value
system that does them in, Goldberg
asserted. A man is taught to ignore his
bocly. Pain is a cballenge to be overcome, not a message from an overwrought bocly. "Most men feel"'great'
right up until they drop dead ,"
Goldberg said.
Men are taught that being dependent
is not masculine. They make fewer visits
to doctors, dentists and other therapists
to seek help. Men also learn that to be
passive is to be feminine. Men aren't
supposed to enjoy sleep, for example.
Call some macho BUY in the middle of
the afternoon, and tell him yoa hope
you didn't .wake him up, suggested
Goldberg. He'll go into a frenzy because
you think he might have been asleep in
the miclclle of the day. Call him up at 4
o'clock in the morning and he'll tell you
the same thing: "No, you didn't wake
me up."
Men are even conditioned to eat
"macho." A man orders steak and
drinks beer out of a can, probably two
of the worst things you can do to your
stomach. "Imagine a truck driver amblins into a truck stop somewhere in the
mid-west and ordering a green salad,"
the psychologist suggested.
Finally, said Goldberg, many men go
through their whole adult lives without
ever aettins toucbecl. Psychologists.llave
found that a lack of touchins bas a terrible impact on infants and it is no less
devastatins for miclclle-aged BUYS-

M.C.o PSJdlotlc: bellaYior
One result of all this, accorclins to
Goldberg, is that grown men often indulse in insane behavior which he
describes as "macho psychotic." It's not
unusual, be noted, to see two cars pulled
off the freeway in Los Angeles with two
or three BUys havins a fi&amp;ht near them .
You can bet the f'IJbt ,startecl, be ventured, because one of the &lt;:an _cut the
other off ancl one guy pve another one
the f'UIJCI': It's silly but It oRen results in

people being hospitalized or killed. It's
not manly to shrug it off or laugh about
it.
A recent issue of People had a story
that epitomized macho-psychotic behavior for Goldberg. The headline read:
"He followed his dream to the sea, and
vanish«/. " The story was about this
frustrated sailor who decided he would
be the first macho man to cross the
Atlantic Ocean in an 8-foot boat. Obviously, there was little chance of successfully completing such an adventure .
But that wasn't the point , said
Goldberg. The point was that it looked
like a heroic thing to do. Appearance is
everything for Mr. Macho. Now, if th is
man had had a wi fe who was his friend
and not someone just playing cheerleader to his footbal l hero, she wou ld
have had him committed when he first
announced the project, Go ld berg
thought. Instead, she told People, " I
have no regrets: he wasn't afraid to
try ." She plans to write a book and get
on the talk show .circuit to encourage
other men ••not to be afraid to try ."
Goldberg in~ isted the traditional
male/ female relationship h.S to be
chansed . In the classic relationship men
are the actors and women, the reactors.
After a while, though, she begins to feel
controlled, and rage develops. The man
develops deep BUilt. "It's the process
that destroys the relationship ,"
Goldberg contended. We have to change
the rhythm so that no one person has to

A new master's degree program in occupational therapy has been approved
here, Dr. Harry A. Sultz, · dean of the
School of Health Related Professions,
has announced .
The program , the only one of its kind
in the SUNY system and one of few nationally, will begin in September and will
offer advancecl specialty education to
therapists who have a B.S. in the field
and two or more years experience.
Sultz notes that the new program
upgrades and replaces the old master's
program in occupational therapy
previously offered. " In the old program, only students who received baccalaureate degrees in fields other than
occupational therapy could be accepted
for master's work," he points out.
Many of these students had degrees in
speech and hearing therapy, social work
and a variety of other areas.
The new master's, however, is open
only to those who already have the baccalaureate degree in occupational
therapy. It allows them to speciali.ze in
one of three areas: therapy of the hand,
physical disabilities, or occupational
therapy for pediatric patients.
Not only clt&gt;es the new program allow
therapists to advance their education in
these specialty areas, it also advances the
field of occupational therapy toward

The headline in the February 26
Reporter said plans were being
made for a "celebration to honor
Dr. King." Celebrate means "to
observe (a day) or commemorate
(an event) with ceremonies .... to
perform with appropriate rites
and ceremonies; solemnize." According to the Random House
College Dictionary, the word is
synonymous with "commemorate, honor, solemnize, laud,
glorify." The story accompanying that headline was a
straightforward account of the
plan, as follows:
"A committee of facully, staff. administrators and community resource
peeyons has been forn;zed I~ plan a
University-wide commemoration of the
life and achievements of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.. on Apri/6, 1981.
.. The committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Norman Solkoff, met last
Friday to discuss proposals for the format of U/B's first Martin Luther King
Day. Solkaff shared with tho~ present a
number of offers of participation and
cooperation already received, inCluding

commitments for UIB's orchestra ~nd
choral groups to present a concert depicting black history and from the
Undergraduate Libraries to host a week-

world to keynote the event, the offering
of workshops dealing with black cultural
contributions and ra~ relations-related
issues, the organization of a luncheon
for 1M day of the ewnt and the feasibility of arranging and underwriting a

Contrary to allegations in The Spectrum, Monday, March 23, none of this
constitutes either "faulty diction," or
any "misrepresentation." To say otherwise is the real distortion .
If the Faculty Senate and the Minorit y

have that we want to utilize. We have to
begin Listening to Third World women
instead of just talking to them. "
Hidalgo feels that the Third World
component of the national association
gained a "big victory" last year when
they pushed through the resolution to
focus on racism at the regional level and
the national conference. The whole issue
came to a head, she explained, at the
1979 national conference when many
delegates objected to the presence of an
exhibit by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
"That's a very tricky situation,"
Hidalgo said . " In some ways, AID does
aid women; it funded some Third World
women to come to the conference. On
the other hand, AID exploits women
through the exportation of unsafe products such as some birth control devices. ••
The AID issue "made a lot of women
face their individual positions," Hidalgo
said .

Another problem to be faced at the natio~ conf~rence is the ·difficulty in
bnnllDg Thtrd World women into the
women's studies movement. Hidalgo
feels that it is difficult for these women
to participate because of "the nature of
their lives, which usually comes to
money, time and other responsibilities in
their own communities."
Hidalgo and Baum emphasized that
the conference wu not meant only for
academics but that persons from outside
academia were actively encouraged to
attend.
"The o~oo is 'attempting to
break down barriers between academics

PSS praises
Ketter's service
Dear Preoldeat Ketter:
It is with mixed feelings that we heard of
your resignation as president of this
university. On the one hand, we understand your need to move back into a
world which allows you to pursue your
scholarly interests, and to be a more
private person. On the other band, we
have bad the pleasure of working with
you sinoe the establishment of the Professional Staff Senate ~ and, from that
perspective, we will miss you.
The years have seen dramatic changes
in this university, and ·you were present
at the most dramatic of' them. ·You saw
them through with fairness, honesty and
consistency. For us, of course, the
Senate became operational during your
tenure, and we thank you for your support for its establishment, and your continued support fo( the professional staff
over the years.
In the last year, with· your auidanoe,
the.Senate has taken an even more active
role in the university. We will continue •
to punue this role lmowin&amp; that we have
your support. We hope that we will continue to have a productive relationship
with the '])raident's office even after
January 1912.
•
With all best wishes to you in the
COJniJI&amp; year and in your new role as
Leadin&amp; Profeuor.

Terror
That's the gospel
in El Salvador,
speakers warn here
By PAUL SlEPIERSKI
Saturday evening, March 14, a Roman
Catholic priest raised a red , white and
blue poster in his hand . Pointing to the
large letters, be translated the Spanish •
inscription : "Will this be the new way of
the gospel? In place of the cross, a
machinegun ... " Below this beading, he
pointed to two columns of names. In
one column, he explained , were the
names of a dozen or so priests who had
either been expelled from their country,
or bad been killed . In the other column
were named priests who were " next on
the list."
Reverend Jack Podsiadlo, a Jesui t
priest who lived in El Salvador in 1971
and 1972 working in a literacy program,
was describing the reign of terror under
which most of theCitizens of that country live these days. The poster, signed by
a group purporting to be "Legionnaires
of the Catholic Faith, " was apparently
the handiwork of a paramilitary "death
squad" operating there.
Father Podsiadlo and Bob Hilliard, a
returned Peace Corps volunteer who bad
served three years in a rural development
program in El Salvador from 1969 to
1972, outlined that country's recent
tragic history. Their talks were preceded
by an audio-visual slide presentation
produced by Overview Latin America of
Boston.
Also, Vietnam veteran Steve Hassett
discussed U.S. strategy in Central
America, and Barbara Handscbu, a Buffalo attorney active· in human rights
issues, described revolutionar y
Nicarqua's stake in this crisis.

30,000 .......,....j Ill 193l
Hilliard reported that, in 1932, 30,000
Indians were massacred in El Salvador
during an unsuccessful insurrection of
impoverished coffee bean pickers. Since
then, be said, the country bas been ruled
by a series of military governments, with
the U.S. providing fmancial support
necessary to keep the military in
power.The U.S. bas continued despite
Salvadoran elections in 1972 and 1977
won by popular candidates but
fraudulently overturned by the military.
In 1979, recalled Hilliard, the leftists
Sandinista Liberation Front that ousted
dictator Anastasio Somoz.a in neighboring Nicaragua was viewed by the U.S.
State Department as a threat to U .S. interests in Central America. At the same
time, the Salvadoran government's
string of grievous human rights violations was a growing embarrassment to
the U .S. So when a combined civilianmilitary junta took over Salvadoran rule
that year, promising a moderate set of
reforms, the State Department promptly
recognized the new government.
But, according to the Overview slide
presentation, military hardliners from
the old rqime were allowed to keep key
administrative posts, and right-wing
paramilitary organizations continued to
kidnap and kiU advocates of social
change. When Salvadorans staged protest demonstrations , armed death
squads and police and military forces
frred into these gatherings, killing hundreds.
A year ago this week, Nobel Peace
Prile nominee Archbishop Oscar
Romero broadcast a Sunday sermon appeal to members of the police and
military forces to stop killing, and to
refuse to obey any "immoral command." The next day he was gunned
down while offering Mass for cancer patients at a hospital. When 30,000
Salvadorans gathered at the cathedral
for his funeral and ·to protest the oppression a number of them were shot to
death · by police and troops ftring indiscriminately into the cn;&gt;wd . The U.S .
State Department sent condolences,
reported the slide show, but aid to the
junta went unabated .

Jaata blames paramilltary groups, but. ..
The junta has attributed the thousands
of killings to the extralegal paramilitary
groups, said Hilliard , and has gone to
"enormous lengths" to conceal any connection with these organizations. But
when Hilliard returned to visit the city of
San Salvador last September, the Archdiocese Legal Aid Office told him that
the vast majority of victims had indeed
been killed by U.S.-supplied government
security forces . They also said that , by
that time, an estimated 10,000 people
had been murdered in the eleven months
since the junta had taken power.
Church authorities have also
reported, said Hilliard, that so me 600
peasants, "primarily women, children,
and older people,' ' were massacred by
the Salvadoran military one afternoon
last May . The people had been trying to
nee the country at the C halatenango
River border opposite Honduras .
" The ties are quite su bstantial between the right wing in Central America
and the right wi ng in this country, " continued Hilliard. Right-wing Salvadoran
major Roberto D' Aubuisson visited the
U.S. last Spring as a guest of the rightist
American Security Council (ASq, and
later, in exchange, members of the conservative Young Americans for
Freedom, the Moral Majority, Heritage
House, and the ASC went on a junket to
Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
D' Aubuisson is reported to have once
boasted that, if the insurrection of 1932
could be put down at a cost of 30,000
lives, a rebellion this time could cost
100,000 lives.
l 'lo ow• 57'11 of lud
The audio-visual presentation made
clear that the root of El Salvador's bitter
harvest is that an elite of wealthy plantation owners-2'11 of the populationowns S70V. of tbe land, while 41 OV. of the
rural families have no land at all , and
are unable to grow even the food
necessary to survive. In the countryside,
the average plantation worker must support a family on $88 a year, 60'1'1 of the
peasantry cannot read, three-quarters of
the children are poorly nourished, and
medical care is virtually absent.

According to the slide presentatio n,
the various Salvadoran opposition
groups have been forced to choose between civil war and starvation. These
peasant and labor unions, professional
associations. and student organizations
have united as the Revolutionary
Democratic Front and are now waging
arrned struggle against the junta under
that banner.

Parallels to Vietnam

Vietnam veteran Steve Hassett discussed
" parallels" he sees developing between
the U.S . war in Southeast Asia and this
nation' s "growing involvemen t in El
Salvador and the rest of Central
America ." Hassett served in the Army
in Vietnam and Korea, first in the infantry, and then in a "Special Warfare"
psychological operations and milita ry
intelligence unit. Later he became active
in Vietnam Veterans Against the Wai .
Hassett pointed out that most of the
tens of millio ns of dollars that the U.S.
granted the Salvadoran junta so far this
year has been in the forrn of " lethal
aid," such as rifles, ammunition, and
helicopters. " I think we'll see a tremendous increase throughout the year,'' he
added, "accompanied by U.S . troops."
Besides this material aid , he imparted
that the U.S. military has been training
Salvadoran military officers at camps in
the Panama Canal Zone. He said that
the Salvadoran Arrny also has advisors
from Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay
serving in its ranks, with "aU three of
these countries being among the worst
violators of human rights in the
hemisphere." The Salvadoran military
also receives money " under the table"
from wealthy Salvadorans in Miami, he
charged, as well as from Miami-based
right-wing Nicaraguan and Cuban exile
groups.
Hassett referred to recent news
reports that many of these exiles are getting military training at camps in
Florida, and said that a paramilitary army in GuatemaJa, made up of these exiles as well as mercenary troops. is
preparing to move into El Salvador
when the opportunity arises. While
many members of these groups "have
long-time ties to tbe CIA and travel freely back and forth to the U.S. ," he said,
other Salvadorans fleeing to the U.S. to
escape "death squads" are often forcibly shipped back home by U.S. im~ration authorities, where they often
face immediate execution.
Hassett questioned the authenticity of
the "Esmeralda" document, which a
State Department cryptographer had
alleged this month to have been captured
from Salvadoran revolutionaries .
United Press International bad reported
that the document revealed that large
skipments of arms were moving from
Cuba and other Communist countries to
insurgents in El Salvador.
"Having had a little experience when I
was in the service with documents of this
sort. " he said, " it appears with aJmost
total certainty that this document was
made up by El Salvadoran and U.S. intelligence groups." He dismissed Lhe
document as a Reagan Administration

ploy to generate more aid for the junta.
Hassett observed that the U.S.
military seems to~ pinning its hopes on
opportunely rushing ••a massive military
force" into El Salvador, and "trying to
overw helm the liberation forces in a very
shon period of time." Such a move
would spill into Honduras, Nicaragua,
and Guatemala, he said, and would in
tum permit the U.S. to use the protracted war to justify .. involvement in
ot her parts of the world, wherever
C ubans are involved .. . lt is entirely
possible that we will soon be involved in
a direct war in either Central America,
Cu ba or Africa."
This growing " momentum " for war
can be fought in the U.S. "by a strong,
politically aware movement that opposes
all aspects of U.S . intervention in El
Salvador, ... and in every other country
in the Third World," he affirrned .
Th reats lo Nlcarq110
Buffalo attorney Barbara Handschu ,
national vice president of the National
Lawyers Guild, listed what she saw were
the principal threats to the survival of
the young revolutionary government of
Nicaragua, one of El Salvador's
neighboring states. S~e recently visited
Nicarasua as a member of an NLG
delegation hosted by that country's
Ministry of Justice, and has also visited
Guatemala to investigate charges of
human rights violations.
The Nicarasuans had suffered a
bloody and destructive civil war in overthrowing Somoza, only six years after an
earthquake bad destroyed the city of
Managua and taken 10,000 lives . Last
year, after prolonged debate, the U.S.
Congress voted to loan Nicaragua $75
million in desperately-needed war relief
aid , said Handscbu . But this year, after
$60 million in aid bad been delivered,
the aid was suspended, and a $9.6
million sale of wheat was delayed as
well . And she is further concerned that
President Reagan will advise Congress
to deny any other credits that President
Carter had recommended earlier for that
country.
Nicaraguans fear the disastrous effects that a permanent aid suspension
would have on their war recovery efforts , said Handschu. They are fun her
concerned that the U.S. is tryi ng to
" destabilize" their economy and
"strangle" them economically, by "efforts to block assistance from international financing agencies and Western
governments . ••
She also described threats that
Nicaragua faces from U.S.-supported
regimes in neighboring Honduras and

Jackson is
search coordinator
Robert I. Millonzi, chairman of the
State University at Buffalo Council, announced officially today that Harry R.
Jackson, the University's director of
public affairs, will serve as coordinator
for the Presidential Search Advisory
Committee charged with recommending
a successor to President Robert L. Ketter, who revealed on March 12 that be
was resigning effective January I, 19&amp;2.
According to Jackson, the committee
has established an office in S47 Capen
Hall at the Amherst Campus (636-2010).
"Office space is at a premium here,"
said Jackson, "but we received great
cooperation from a number of people in
getting things set up so rapidly."
Jackson will be assisted by Mrs. Rose
C. Levin. "She has had a great deal of
experience working with search committees to fill administrative vacancies at
the University, " commented Jackson ,
who sees the staff's role " primarily as
meeting the scheduling and informatiotial needs of the committee."
The search committee will hold its
first meeting on April 14. "Prior to
that.'' said Jackson. "we will have
distributed a good bit of background
material abOut the University to help the
members develop a lietter understanding
of th"e institution's strengths and
needs."

Grad ed will remain
Middle States topic;
questionnaires.planned
Preparation for the University's 1982
accreditation review by the Middle
States Association will continue as it was
begun, UJin&amp; the focus or "sraduate
education and research," Dr. Gordon
M. Harris, coordinator of the 1982
review, told the Dean's Council on Monday. Questions had arisen last week in the
wake of the announced resignation of
President Robert L. Ketter to whether
or not plannin&amp; for the accreditation
should continue under guidelines initially decided on by the outgoiog president.
Both Ketter and Harris told the
Dean's Council their tbinldn8 is that
graduate education should remain the
topic of the review since it is the primary
focus of the University and is a subject
that has not been explored here in any
depth. To delay p._..ning for the review
until a new president is on board would
mean setting back the accreditation process anywhere from a ~ and a half to
three years. It's doubtful the Middle
States Association would agree to such a
delay, both men said . 1982 wiU mark the
I Oth anniversary of the last accreditation
visit, and such reviews are ordinarily
conducted at 10-year intervals.
Ketter said that he suspects any incoming president would be apt to endorse the topic because of its importance.
It has been only in recent years, Harris ·
explained, that the .Middle States has
allowed focused accreditation reviews in
addition to the usual option of a comprehensive institution-wide survey. The
latter is the type of review U/ B underwent in 1972.

as

No objectlou from deus
No objections to tbe continuation of the
graduate · focus were heard· from the
deans, and Harris said there seems to be
no opposition within the accreditation
review steerina committee. One member
or. the committee bad indeed raised the
question last week, Harris said, but it
was only a question.
Harris reminded deans that the steering committee which is developing a selfstudy report prior to actual review by a
panel of visitors bas agreed on a comprehensive list of topics to be covered:
a. Graduate students-who they are,
where they come from, why they're
here;
b. graduate faculty;
c. the formal organization of the
Graduate School;
d . research structures at the University;
e. support of research by both outside
asencies and the University itself;
f. the public service aspects of
graduate eduealion and research; and
g. the effects of University policy on
the two areas.
Seven subcommittees have been
formed, Harris said, one for each of the
topics.
~-comlq

To elicit dim:! inpot from graduate
faculty, the steering committee bas
decided to use a questiollllaire for the
evalulltion of graduate education
developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS). ·F our hundred and f.rty
copies of tbe instrument will be obtained
and forwarded to 'a weiabted selective
sample of sraduate faculty. Harris said
questions on the form are simple and
readily answered, and elicit useful information on strenaths and weaknesses of
programs.
In addition to the ETS questionnaire,
the committee wiJi be usiq an instrument of its own to be lorwarded to
. deana,_ directors - and department
chairiDell in an attempt to draw out information ant available in any central
source on campua. This include&amp; such
facton u an usessment of the quality of
eateriq lll'*luate student&amp;, a review of
their. propas, infonnatiou on alumni,
informatioo on Univenity-aponsored
~. and data OD pduate lfOUpS.
Harris hopes administrators and faculty

business world, readying to avail
themselves of opportunities presented by
change in the 1980's.
"Women are already important _factors in the 'supply side' of our
economy," she stressed . " Women enterpreneun and women professionals are
creating jobs, are finding new ways to
increase productivity, are investing and
participating in the reindustrialization of
America."
Chisholm urged those atteadiog to
take the subject matter discussed "very
seriowly, " noting that "we owe it to
ourselves'' to succeed .

receivillll these request&amp; for information
wiU give them higb priority.
Tbe committee want&amp; to finish the
ftrst draft of the self-study document by
the close of 1981 or by early 1982 at the
latest. The document wiU then be circulated for reactions and comments
before being rewritten in fmal form by
the summer of 1982. The accreditation
visit wiU come in the fall of that year.
Several deans -expressed concern over
the poor quality of current information
on doctoral recipients. Whether we
know anything about them or not, one
dean said, usually has to do with the
quality of their relationships with professors while they were here. And with
whether or not they have become
famous, another added. "We all seem to
have known the famous ones."
President Ketter advised that ETS has
also developed a questionnaire to draw
out career information about alumni.
He said that since U/ B alumni records
primarily consist of name and address
only, the Alumni Association may bf&gt;
willing to pay for distribution of the
ETS survey. Data developed in this manner would contribute not only to
development of the self-study, but also
to the upgrading of the Association's
own files.

Chisholm
takes shot
at status quo
Tells women to ride
crest of opportunity
By DOUG CARPENTER
The U/ B Alumni Association and the
D'YouviUe Center for Women in
Management jointly sponsored a daylong seminar on "Women as Financial
Planners" this past Saturday, and the
messase carried away by the 250 partiCipants who gathered in the Amherst
Campus' Capen-Talbert-Norton complex was clear and to the decimal point.
Women are assuming ever-increasing
responsibility for the growth and direction of the American economy, they
were told, ·SO ' 'when 'the buck stops
here, ' we'd better know what to do with
it."
Toward that end , , conference
organizers presented a series of four
workshops on: Credit and Property
Law, Empowering Yourself, Financial
Planning, and lnvestmenr Alternatives.
The conference opened with a keynote
address by Representative Shirley
Chisholm, Congresswoman from New
York's 12th Congressional district with
a national reputation for firey oratory,
an unflinching political independence
and an historic 1972 run for the U.S.
presidency.
Chisholm's remarks to a packed
house in Woldman Theatre were laced
with humor, feminism and more than a
few pointed jabs at the economic and
social status quo. She covered subjects
ranging from social justice to the impact
of women in the work force.
"We find ourselves caught between
two mutually exclusive myths," she
observed. "One says that a married
working woman is not really her
family's breadwinner, so it is okay to
pay her less. The other says that an un married working woman is only supporting herself, so it is okay to pay hu
· less. So in spite of 16 years of the Equal
Pay Act, women on the averase earn
that infamous S9 cents for every man's
doUar earned, a statistic that has not
ch&amp;~~~ed in 40 years . ..• "

tile....._,,

WO...'sladden lleafa 18
On the subject of professional advancement for women, Chisholm was also
dim:!. "It has been said that 'the
escalators for women's career ladders
start in the basement and break down
halfway to the ftnt floor. For men's ladders, they start on the ftrst floor and go
right on up to the ftfth.' A study conducted in our state found ~bat up to 98'!1
of career ladders are largdy scgresated
by sex, with the majority of the ladders
essentiaUy marked 'men oaly.' "
But those factors are challl!ing, she explaiDed, as women, like those ptbered

PAPAS students
face funds cut
ceived an additional half-million dollar&gt;
in grant suppon because of a study by
one of our students.
A.Jencies and communities which have
benefitted from the 701 students are Erie
County, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, the State Assembly's
Urban Task Force, the County Department of Senior Services, City of
Lockpon, the Buffalo Area office of
HUD, the St. Augustine Center and
Buffalo's Seventy-Eight Restoration
Corporation, among others.
Job piecemeal rate bleb
"Another tangible . evidence of the success of the 701 program has been our job
placement rate, which is close to 100 per
cent," Lobbins added . "Also noteworthy among the achievements of these
students has been the receipt of two
coveted Presidential Management Internship Awards in 1979 and 1980."
Though the recision of 701 wiU not affect the PAPAS staff or mission, it will
have other effects, Lobbin said.
"We have used our graduate students
to multiply the professional services we
provide to the community. ·Through our
professional guidance, students acquire
skills and· knowledge in planning and
community development, but, more importantly, they enable us to perform our
prime mission of providing technical expertise to local communities," he explained. "The recision of _our grant wiU
diminish our .efforts to provide widespread community services.''
·Both Lobbins and .Corbett expect the
biU to pass, although an effort has been
underway at local and state levels to pursuade -HUD to allocate at least the S2.S
mi1llnot 10 the work/study programs can
continue. Besides U /8, Cornell and
Stnq! Albany receive fundiJia under
1.0' in New York. U/B'a studenll •will,
however-, be most drastically affected
Iince Albany has only five enrolled in
the program and Plmell has eadowmenll to fall back- on, Lobbiris wei.

in this country to reduce the excessive
and wasteful government spending that
has driven this nation to the brink of
economic disaster. It seems to me that
Congress must move quicltly and responsibly to cut taxes and reduce spending in order to get our country moving
again."
One student in the OUA observed that
the $2.S million for students barely
covers the cost of one. tank.
Congressman Henry Nowak,
however, sent a more sympathetic reply,
saying be would continue to support an
adequate level of funding.
Still, chances of retaining the federal
funding are "slim," Corbett feels. ffe
said the OUA is now seeking other kinds
of support from state agencies, local
government agencies and private foundations. Noting that the Reagan administration's recision proposal states,
"To the extent that States and localities
benefiting from the program find it
worthwhile and of high priority, they
can provide funding, or use block grant
or general revenue sharing funds for this
purpose at their own discretion," Corbett adds, "they don't give us any other
choice.''
Lobbins isn't optimistic that fmancially overburdened state and local
governments will be responsiv.e to-requests to fund students in planning
areas, even though be feels there is a
"moral obligation to at least let those
students alreedy enrolled in the proaram
complete their studies."
"Reagan has asked state and local
governments to be more accountable
and responsive to local needs. We often
hear him say, 'set the government off
the hack of the little guy,' " Lobbins
said. ''What programs like 701 offer are
the tools and cepacities to state 8J!d local
governmenll in order to help them
manase their limited resouroes more effectively and efficieoily. Since New
York is aufferina ecoliomically, it is certainly advisable that they retain those
resoun:es tbet help them be more accountable and responoive to local

needs."
. He concluded, "This cries for morr

Ketter
He'll be the president
until January 1, he
emphasizes to Senate group
At his first meeting with the Senate
Executive Committee since his resignation announcement. President Robert L.
Ketter pledged last Wednesday that he
would " continue to act as president"
until he officially leaves office, then said
he doubts whether anyone will be able to
observe a "change in my attitude" until
the end of December nears.
" I cannot change abruptly . I just
don ' t do that," he declared .
The President said he personally
believes the timing of his announcement
was "as correct as it co uld possibl y be."
The reason, he explained , is that the new
president will be able to "take full advantage" of next year's gubernatorial
race , plus not ha ve to worry about
massive retrenchments. Ketter said the
increase of II FTEs in U/ B's budget for
1981-82 " was beyond what I thought
was possi ble, " and , from that standpoint, represents as "comfortable a
position as possible" for an incoming
president .
As for the search for his successo r,
Ketter said he wo uld "judiciously
avoid" making any comments about
candidates and will not "i n an y
fashion" get involved in the search . The
only thing the President said he will do,
if asked, is to be as candid as possible
regarding ·the respo nsibilities and
drawbacks of the job.
Asked if he thought his resignation
would impede progress in academic
planning and reorganization , Ketter
responded that although he had no way
of knowing the desires of a new president in these areas, he felt the University
"has talked long enough" and "there is
sufficient reason to proceed with what
we have in the works.'' Trying to speak

Allies' pacifism
draws praise
Editor:
President Reagan 's National Security
Advisor Richard Allen recently remarked that he was distressed at the
"outright pacifist sentiments" being expressed in Western Europe. However,
such sentiments are cause for elation
rather than distress .
A s studies by the Office of
Technological Assessment, the Physicians for Social Responsibility, and by
scientists publishin&amp; in the N~w England
Journal of Mrdicin~ have shown, the
effects of nuclear war would be absolutely devastating, producing miltions
of casualties. Realizing this, our European allies have renounced nuclear
weapons and have advocated arms control as a means of reducing the possibility and severity of nuclear war.
We must question and, if necessary,
resist tbe Reapn Administration' s blind
rage qainst communism. Dealing with
the Soviets Rquires a careful and well
reasoned approach. Otherwise, we may
well be successful in eliminating communism by annihilating tbe Soviet
Union, tbe United States, and all of
Europe.

cautio usly on the subject , Ketter relayed
that his successor would probably defer
any decisions on such mailers for about
two years . Si nce: his resignation doesn't
take effect umil tttis January, Ketter said
the University must decide whether it
wants to wait three years or to proceed
as planned .
The President also said he doesn't
think his resignation "will have any
effect whatsoever" on the Middle States
accreditation process. Although the new
president has the option of postponin8
the review for one year, Ketter said he
thinks the " last thing" his successor
would want to do is disrupt the evalua·
tion process.
Later, during a report from the
Senate's Facilities Planning Committee,
members of the Executive Committee
ex pressed frustration to Facilities
Planning VP John Neal over the lack of
faculty input into planning decisions.
Several facult y, including Sara Cicarelli,
chairperson of the Facilities Planning
Committee, indicated that faculty never
seem to find an oJ)ponune time to affect
planning. When offered, their comments are generally termed either too
premature or too late, she lamented.
Some members of the Exe:cutive Committee then rattled off a list of complaints and concerns about present
planning operations, some noting mort
personal gripes and others more
Unive:rsity·wide issues. such as negativt
ramifications of decentralized student
services and the effect of class location
on enrollment.
Though Neal listened patiently, h&lt;:
gave them little consolation . He reminded Senators that the University is
"physically committed to a particular
campus geography" and if an attempt is
made to alter the Master Action Program , the University "runs the risk" of
losing more than it could gain. The VP
added that if Academic Affairs is
reorganized into an Ans and Sciences
college, he doesn't know how th&lt;:
University "can physically pull it
off. "

Terror stalks
El Salvador
Guatemala. Nicaraguans suspect that
the Honduran Army is harboring bands
of exiled National Guardsmen who had
served as enforcers for Somoza.
'' In addition," she said, "at least
2000 former [Nicaraguan[ National
Guard members ... have been intqrated
into the Guatemalan Army, and another
2000 [in Guatemala[ have been trained
for the expressed purpose of invadinB
Nicarqua."
Handschu has little doubt of a covert
U.S. "hand" behind these buildups,
given a hlstory of heavy U.S. involvement in Guatemala following a 19$4
coup there, which she characterized a "orcbestrated" by tbe u.s. CentrallnteiJiaence Agency.
Handschu char&amp;ed that tbe Reapn
Administration has been "using tbe
word 'terrorism • synonymously with national liberation" struagles, and has
been applying "risht-wing Washington's new buzzword" as. rationale ror
planning attacks on Nicaragua, Cuba
and the Soviet Union.
The forum was sponsored by the Buffalo Center for Justice, the Buffalo
Forum, the SUNY American Studies
Department, the Buffalo chapter of tbe
National Lawyers Guild, the Western
New York Peace Center, and a host of
other community organizations. The
Peace Center is planning an El Salvador
Teach-In for Aprill4 and 25 , at a location to be announced.

'Tapdancin'!' had the crowd agog
There wasn't even standing room at the
Center Theatre Friday and Saturday as ~
"Tapdan ci n' !," a festival of that recent·
Jy redisco vered dance form, took to th e
stage under sponsors hip of the Office o f
Cultural Affairs (and funded by the
Faculty-Student Association).
Informal though it was, the show was
a finely-tuned , exuberantly mou nt ed
production . Each o f the dancers was
sensational in his own way :
Bubba Gaines tapped and jumped
rope to "Perdido," followed by doing it
in double-time to " Who." Buster
Brown took a witty turn to Neal Hefti 's
"Cute." Honi Coles, chairman of the
Copasetics, proved to be an extraordinary dancer. who scarcely moves as he
performs with seeming effortless ness.
He completely captivated the audience
with peerless elegance and charm .
Speeial guest Chuck Green , a large,
almost ungainly-looki ng man (until he
dances), did intricate tap steps, skids
and swoops to "Caravan" and .. Take
the A Train." Backup was by the Rudy
Stevenson band and the genial master of
ceremonies was LeRoy Myers. The men
are tapdancing: some have been dancing
for 40 years or more.
Audiences-young , o ld , black ,
white-loved them .
Festival organizer Esther Harriott felt
vindicated sirice skeptics had initially
reacted dubiously to her idea for the
event.
There were no skeptics at the show .

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

Reagan cuts mean
fewer jobs for grads
By 'MILT CAIU.IN
The director of the Career PlanniDg Office bas already taken steps to alleviate

an anticipated shrinkage of job opportunities for U/8 graduates due to President Ronald Reagan's budget cuts.
E111ene J. Marten pointed out !bat 4
to 7 per ceDI of U/8 grads bave traditionally founil employment with government agencies. The Reagan budlet cutbacks, as MarteU sees it, could mean the
loss of 200 or more job opportunities for
the 4,100 graduates who enter the job
market next May, based on aS per cent
sqment sec:lting governmental employ-

ment.

M&amp;rteu also questioned the ability of
the private business sector "to pick up
the slack," particularly if major in-

dustries are forced to continue their
inflation-fJihting posture because of
dwindling federal assistance and grants .
He hopes he's wrong, MarteU said in
an interview, but "I suspect unemployment wiU rise in the next year or two~f
the budget cuts remain intact.
In order to combat the situation, the
Career Planning OffiCe has sent out
4,000 letters to prospective employers
throughout the Niagara Frontier, including small businesses as weU as large
ones. MarteU said . it was the largest
number of such letters ever sent out; the
"earliest mailing" ever, and the first
time small businesses were included.
Enclosed with each letter is a "vacancy form" for listing available jobs,
"part-time, fuU-time or summer . ~ ·

U/B to lobby for $500,000 for dentistry
U/ B intends to lobby intensively in the
Legislature for inclusion in the 1981-82
budget of an additional $513.000 for the
School of Dentistry.
"The Chan cellor understands that we
will be doing this, and DOB knows it is
coming, " Presi dent Raben L. Ketter
told the University Council last Thurs·

day .

Western

New

York

legislators had been briefed on U/ B' s
budget need s at a special meeti ng o n
campus March 6. The President

reported that Assemblyman John B.
Sheffer is pledged to support the Dental
fund package fully . but that
Assemblyman William B. Hoyt seemed
uneasy about the total amount re·
quesled . According to Keller , Hoyt is
hesitant about thai parl of the package
earmarked for a so--called equalization

plan to bring U/ B dental faculty salaries
up to the same level as a ·select group of
peer institutions . Hoyt, the President

said, appeared to feel salaries here
already are high enough si nce Buffalo is
a good place to live with compensating
advantages. In HQ¥t's opinion, the cit y
has a lower cost of living than , say, the
Long Island area where Stony Brook
faculty earn approximately 30 per cent
more per year. The President di sagrees.
Ketler feel s the majorit y of the
Western New York delega ti on, though ,
will push for the total package. Hoyt
said Tuesday he would.
While the Dental School is the top
priorit y, the University is seeking
restoration of tuition waivers for foreign
students and continued funding of the
State University Supplemental Tu ition
Assistance (SUST A) Program . Ketter
said he had also briefed lawmakers on
the need for more library funding and of
the necessity for additional money for
equipment replacement .

Three-year dental plan
When the Denaal School ran inro accreditation difficulties two years ago, a
three-year plan addressing shortcomings
identified io the accreditation review was

devised with both SUNY and the Division of the Budget. The first year
(198()..81), $619,000 in accreditation·
related funding was requested, and
$600,000 received. The plan called for
$719,000 in 1981-82, to be used primari·
ly for 26 new positions (II faculty and
15 positions in the clinics) . $202,000 was
to go for faculty salary equity.

SUSTA is designed to fund the dif·

a nd the amount actually received from
the Tuition Ass istance Program (TAP)
by those student s whose net famil y income qualifies them for the maximum

TAP award. It has been suggested . Ket ·
ter ROted , that SUNY use fund s from the
1981-82 Tuition Reimbur sement Program to aid need y student s who would
otherwise have received a SUST A
award. However, there are insuffici ent
fu nd s in the Tuition Reimbursement
Program to meet the needs of those who
are currently eligible for tuition \.11'2.ivers,
Ketter told the Co un cil.

Over 70 per cent of SUSTA at U/ B is
used for Law School st udent s. It s

University Libraries' purchasing power
will be further eroded by innation increases. Book trade pri ces have traditionally outstripped general inflation
rates. For large research libraries such as
U/ B's which buy substantial amounrs of

198 1-82 is 12.7 per cent. As a result. the
University Libraries will be forced to cut
acquisitions, including journal subscription s, se rial sta nding orders, and
monographs , and to delay retrospective

Equipment repbcemeat
State policy on equipment replacement
for years was that there woul d be none .
Re-cently. a move to begin funding
equipment other than for new buildings
was begun but is vastly inadequate for
U/ 8's purposes, Ketter noted .

A 1981 -82 allocation of $1.200.000
will allow for replacement of appro ximately 600Jo of the equipment here
whose no rmal lifetime will be reached in
1981-82 . It wi ll , however, permit
replacement of only approximately 8%

of the total equipment ($15,000.000)

If the University is to provide current
education i n the sci ences and
techno logies, argued the President, it
must have current and usable equipmem
10 do so. In consequence, adequate provis ion of funding for academic equipment replacement to support instructional and departmental research activiti es is essential. The funds the
University anticipates receiving will be a
start toward this , but only that.
Ketter used the dental school for an

example . The State's policy on equipment replacement has mcanl that in the

17 years since SUNY took over that
school. less than $100,000 has been
spent on equipment.

Forty U / B faculty members have received grants from the Joint Awards

U/ B enrolls both more black students
and a higher perct!ntage of blacks in its
undergraduate and graduate totals than
any other SlJNY university center, a
February report from the Office of
Institutional Studies reveals .
The University also has more blacks
enrolled than Buffalo State, although
that campus with a smaller enrollment
base has .a higher percentage of blacks
attending.
For fall 1980, U/B had 1,357 black
American undergraduates, or 7.44 per

U/ B also had the largest representation

of Native Americans of the five units
surveyed . One hundred and eight Native

Americans were enrolled as undergraduates here in the fall of 1980, and 28

Stony Brook had the highest numbers
of American Asian and Pacific
Islanders-856 at the undergraduate
level (7 .67'!0 of their total) and 101
postbaccalaureate (2.39'!0). In this
category, U/ B was second of the five
with 4&amp;&amp; undergrads (2.68 '!0 of the total)
and 130 at the postbaccalaureate level
(1.81'!0 of the total).

Stony Brook was first with U.S. Hispanics-465 undergrads and 134
postbaccalaureate. In this category, U/ B
was third among the five campuses-with 214 Hispanic undergrads
(1.18% of the total) , and 92 enrolled in
postbaccalaureate studies (1.28'!0).
Forel&amp;n students
U/B ranks first am ong the same five

In the Fall of 1980, we auracted 597

When push coJDes to shove, women sit down
In a co mpetitive siruation, when push
comes to shove, women prefer to sit
down, thank you .
Recent research in the area of social
psychology seem s to indicate that
women have been socialized- and thus
feel more comfortable-exhibiting col·
laborative as opposed to competiti ve
behavior. When women do compete and
succeed, they frequently fail to recei ve
the reinforcement given men . Instead of
kudos, accomplished women are often
called "lucky" rather than " able," or
their success is nonchalan tly auributed
to an inordinate display of effort.
In a recent presentation to the Buffalo
c~apter of the Association for Women
in Science, U/ B Social Psychologist Bar·
bara Bunker pointed out that com·
petitive women are often viewed by men
in stereotypical terms. For instance, if a
woman exhibits assertiveness but is not
. affecti ve or a "kidder," she is often
perceived as the "iron-clad maiden "
type. If, on the other hand, a woman
lacks competitiveness and assertiveness
but is nurturing, she' is viewed as a
" mother" figure . lf a woman is neither
nurturing nor aggressive, s e is seen as
the "lillie girl" type. It seems the best
way a woman can act to be taken
seriou sly by men is to be both co m·
petitive yet feminine, Bunker mused.
Men who have experienced collegial
relationships with women are less prone
to perceive women in such terms . But in
any case, such mental responses are
"not meant to be vicious," noted
Bunker, but. rather represent a sim plistic
way of viewing behavioJ.

was expressed by " oneupsmanship" and

use of "zingers," etc. The dominance
order ·remained constant at all group
meetings, with the same male participants monopolizing conversation.
Little one-to-one discussion occurred.
Women took tums
By contrast, the all-female group ex·
hibited a collaborative rather than com·
petitive climate, with the dominance
order changing at each meeting. The
women who spoke most frequently at
one session , related Bunker, kept a
lower profile at the following meeting
and allowed other participants to
dominate. Also, unlike in the male
group, conversation tended to focus on
more personal rat her than topical areas,
and was generally addressed to just one
other individual instead of a group.

When the mixed group met, Bunker
said, the-presence of women seemed to
"'deepen" conversation. Although the
dominance pattern remained constant,
the climate was collaborative.

women feel uncomfortable with the
competitive orientation and mo ve
toward collaboratiQn, they can put
themselves in a " vulne.rable" sit uation .

Women don 't second olbers
Interestingly, Bunker pointed out, in
the mixed groups, women seldom spoke
to other women, though men spoke to
other men and women . One reason for
this. interactive pattern , she theorized, is
that in group s women seldom
"support' ' or " second" other women,
whereas wi th men , this is commo n
behavior.
Bunker cautio11ed the gathering that
most organizations are pervaded by a
" male consciousness " and thus foster a
competitive rather than collaborative
climate. In such circumstances, if

Toot your hom
To help prevent this, Bunker suggested that women learn some "com·
petitive skills" frequently employed by
men which can serve to ·•challenge the
system .'' One such behavior, Bunker ad . .
vised is to "toot your own hom. " Often
women neglect to talk about their
abilities or accomplishments because
they fear negative feedback, she relayed .
Also, Bunker recommended that women
learn how to handle "zingers ." For the
mos t part, such remarks are not meant
to be taken personally and are merely a
0

Administration should challenge

1981 than would otherwise have been the
case had last year's freshman enrollment
prevailed at 3600 (20 per cent of 3000
equals 600). This 20 per cent loss in
students is exactly the 20 per cent loss in
income we pay into the military instead
of maintaining last year's admissions for
freshmen. Each percentage of our in·
come going to the military brings forth ,
apparently , a percentage point drop in
the number of students that can be "a f.

The carnage of students as "financial

all too real. It is therefore mandatory for
President Ketter and his administration

of the economy" if the student body itself
is not to be sacrificed to the nation's

That's the average
age of students in
unusual math class
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
The mathematics class that meets for
two hours every Tuesday and Thursday
in Baldy Hall on U/ 8's Amherst Cam·
pus at first glance looks like an average
group of University students, excepl tha t
they're generally shorter than the
average undergraduate and so me of
them have braces on their teeth and they
seem so, well, young.
And they are . This group of
youngsters with an average age of 13
represents the most gifted students in
Western New York. They have been at·
tendiog math classes at U/ 8 since
September in a special program geared
specifically to gifted and highl y
motivated secondary school students.
Directed by OT. Gerald-Rising of
U/8's [)epartmeot of Instruction, the
U/8 math program replaced the
youngsters' junior and high school math
classes and offers them their entire high
school and some college-level math
courses. They receive full college credits
for their work .

The 39 students in Dr. Rising 's class
range in age from 12 to 14; most are in
the seventh grade. AU reside in Erie and
Niagara counties, and arrive for lheir
classes from as far as Wilson, Holland
and Lakeshore.
Parents are responsible for providing
transportation for the 3:30 to 5:30p.m.
classes, and it is a measure of the value
and need of the program that they ha ve
managed to work out these arrangements, Dr. Rising pointed out.
The students were selected through
nominations by their school principals
or directors. Approximately . 180
nominees took an entrance exam last
summer, which included the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) given to all high
school seniors wishing to enter coUege.
The 39 students fmally selected performed better than 30 per cent of high school
seniors in the SAT math exam.
Gifted kids
"These are truly gifted kids, " Dr. Ri sing
said. " They are certainly in the top one
or one-haJJ percent of 5tudents in th is
community in their age group. "
Conceivably, each youngster may at·
tend classes at U/8 for seven years,
allowing him or her to complete up to 32
hours of college credit . They are already
taking one unit
of college
math-logic-and are "doing quite well
with it and have become comfortable
with the material," Dr. Risiog noted .
The great bet&gt;efit of this program for
the youngsters, Dr. Risiog emphasized,
is that it cballenges them to use all of
their talents. Most area lligh schools
have no programs at all for gifted
students, and those that are orfered
generally fall far sbon of what is need·
ed . Dr. Rising told of one school that offered a special class for three students
observed to be gifted in math which
amounted to nothing more than
"busywork."
StHealleckRillq
The students echo Dr. Rising's observation. At a recent class session, they were
interviewed and photographed, reacting
like any group ofkids their age: they gig·
gled, nudged one another and got
generally silly.
But when questioned, 1hey became
serious.
"It's fun and challenging," David
Colegrove of Tonawanda said of the
class. His friend, Brian McNamara of
Burfalo, agreed: " Our math classes at
school were too easy. Tb~y were just a
repeat of CYerything else."
Diane Cieczka of Cheektowaga, who
wants to be a zoologist when she finishes
h~ doctorate, said, " I feel privileged to
take this course. It's nothing like
school. "

Most of the kids, like Maryanne Porto
of South Wales who intends to become a
pediatrician, enjoy meeting the other
youngsters frbm different towns and
have made new friends .
Codirector of the program with Dr .
Ri si ng is Dr. Elizabeth Crist, a math
teacher at West Seneca East. The two
a re training several int erns, mostl y local
classroom teache~. to handle the class.
Dr. Rising ho pes to have two classes go ing next September.
"This program meet s a special need
for these youngste rs," Dr. Rising said .
Not aU .,... ld•nllfied
Not all the students who could benefi1
from this program have been identified.
however, Dr. Risin g pointed out,
especially minority st uden ts in the public
schools who may not have had the testtaking preparation that is generally
available in suburban and private
schools.
To help these student s, a special ses·

sian is offered to sixth graders in Buf-

falo . Dipendra Bhattacharya, a U/ 8
doctoral student who has been gi\'en
three awards for teaching, meets for two
hours with 43 minority youngsters every
third Saturday morning. Taking the
course is no guarantee for admission to
the special math program , he noted .
"We try to give these st udent s so me
kind of boost and motivation , " "Dip,"
as he is ca ll ed by the student s. said .
"The ma in idea is to create more ~ If ­
respect so they will feel m ore
co nfident. "
Another outgrowth of the gifted math
program is a possib le research study proposed by Dr. Rising and Dr. Peter
Gess ner of U / B's Department of Pharmaco logy and Therapeutics, whose
daughter attends the classes .
"We would like to examine parental
in fluence on the girls identified as
mathematically gifted in the area
sc hools,' ' Dr. Rising explained . He cited
a recent study which concluded that

boys have a genetic advantage over girls
when it comes to comprehending math
problems.
"The 5-2 ratio of boys to girls in o ur
program does seem to support 1hi s
hypot hesis," Dr. Rising noted . But he
added that when parents were interviewed prior to their children's entran~ int o
the program. rhe parents of the girls ex pressed surprise at their daughters · aptitude much more so than the parent s of
the boys. Dr . Rising said this support s
the idea that parental influence pla ys a
major ro le in the chi ldren's perfor mances .
Parents have been very enthusiastic
about the program , Dr . Rising said . On~
mother who called fo r information for
next year 's class said she knows h ~r so n
is bored with hi s math courses at school,
and s h~ doesn't want to see him lo~ int~rest.
If this year's group is any
meas ure, bo redom in th~ gi fted math
class at U/ 8 is not a problem!

ies fashion
the early 19S0s when American sculpture was
changina at a diuying rate . The question of
the 19SOs wasn't whether or not young

sculptors would move toward abstraction, but
whether they would move 10ward abstract or

figurative expressionism .
Against lhis backdrop, Tavish forged his
own road . eschewing the fashion s of New
York .
Interestingly enough, after years of ref us·
ing to~ distracted by any an fashion,
ToYish now finds himself in the mainmeam
of contemporary sculpt:ure.
Tavish himself anaches great imponance to
the "so~ri ng Limitations of scu lpiUre, " i.e ..
gravity, space and form. "I believe they
make us prudent , reflective, slower to
drvelop and perhaps. slower to change." he

Wiseman's films are
free, candid, riveting
By ANN WHITCHER
He's certain ly no made-for-TV type,
spinning out plastic yarns in rout ine
fashion. Although Frederick Wiseman 's
films are shown on te levision, they're
light years away from the usual TV fare.
Wiseman. the noted documemar y
filmmaker, was here March 4 as part of
a film series being sponsored by the
Butler Chair and by Docu ment ary
Research , Inc . For some 14 years .
Wiseman has been making riveti ng
documentaries about American institu tions. He ~ pproache s ' hi s subject s
witho ut preconceived notion, eschews
na rrati ve and di slikes film interviews.
"They're boring," he says. In introducing Wiseman, U/ 8 filmmaker Bruce
Jackson put it this way: " He examines
com plex social situa tions, bu t lets us
make up our own minds."
Si nce lhe lale '60s, Wiseman has made
o ne acclaimed film after another-all
about U.S. institutional life. These include High School, an unninching look
at the apparent draining of creative life
at a Philadelphia high school; Primate, a
documentary on the Yerkes Primate
Research &lt;:yller in Allanta; a nd
Hospital, a moving account of life at
New York 's Metropolitan Hospilal.

effacing · figure, talking very matter-offactly about his fi lmmaking approach .
Wiseman lold 1he Diefendorf Hall
audience that he start s each film " with
no particular knowledge of the subject
and no ideo logical axe to grind ." Heady
research is avoided like the plague.
especially forays into the social sciences.
(" I don't read foreign languages," he
quipped . ) At most, Wiseman spe nds a
da y and a half familiari zing himself with
the physical layout and / or "the political
.!.lructure ."
Wiseman tries to be " sensitive and
kind" to those being fi lmed . He places
n01 ices about the film in the institution 's
newspaper or bulletin; he may attend a
statf meeting or two . Also , he tries to
"demysti fy " the process, allowing those
conce rned to handle the equipment, etc.
But Wiseman doesn't overdo the
niceties. " If you get too exqu isitely
refined," he reported, ''you can't ma ke
a film ." Tape-recorded, rath er than
written releases are used for indi vidua ls
shown in the film .
Wise man insists o n co mplete editorial
control when an institution 's o fficials
agree to let him do the film . He pro mises
thai "no one will be pholographed who·
doesn't want to be , .. but insists on free
access to the institutio n.

He started fUmiD&amp; al 30
Wiseman's most recent look at an
American in5titution, Man~vre , was
shown here February 25 . The subject
Ibis time: an infantry tank company
from Fort Polk, La., joins NATO unils
for a simulated war near the Easr German border.
Wiseman, an ex-law professor who
started making films al 30, has been
called one of the most gifled documen·
tarians of our-time. Bul he culs a self·

A &amp;lmmlck
Wiseman acknowledged thai the "institution" thing is "something of a gimmick." Bul. he added, "by picking on&lt;
place, one can get a type of density and
specificit y unattainable if yo u mo ve
around ." By choosing specific institutions rather than large realities like
marriage (or abStractions like " the
military-industrial complex"), " a di versity of feeling can be recorded." He
adds "thai mosl of us aren't good

Now with public TV in a " sta te of disar ray, God knows what will happen ," says
Wiseman. He isn't big on some aspects
of public te levision but for reasons dif~
ferent than those advanced by David
Srock man &amp; Friends. Wiseman criticized
public TV 's "vast bureaucracy and the
duplication of faci lities ."
The privately-owned co mm ercial
"culture" stations. now emergi ng, may

hangs arou nd the model agency and
"goes out on jobs" to ad agencies and

Health Sciences UUP
puts on budget pressure
Restorill8 funds to the Dental School,
strengthenill8 the Libraries, increasing
graduate student stipends and modifying
the Taylor Law are the top concerns of
the Health Sciences Chapter of UUP,
Chapter President W. Roy Slaunwhite,
Jr., told those attending a legislative
briefill8 in the Red Room of the Faculty
Club, February 27.
A year ago, Slaunwhite reminded the

audience,

"the American

Dental

Association judged that the clinical, but
not the basic science, education of our
dental students did not meet national
standards and withdrew full accedita·
tioo, sivill8 the State three years in
which to get its houSe' in order. At that
time, be said, "OOB approved a three·
year program designed to meet the goals
required for restoration of full accreditation. In this, the second year, the
Dental School was supposed to have 25
staff switched from Income Fund Reim·
bursable aa:ounts to State lines. To fund
these positions as well as to approach
salary equity with other dental schools,
$722,000 was asked. Actually the budget
awards one faculty line and $87 ,000!

Conedift lldio8

8oeded DOW

"Unless corrective action can be taken
durill8 this Legislative session," Slaun·
white' went on, "it is not likely that we
can attain our three-year goal. This may
be just the tip of the iceberg. John Shef.
fer bas pointed out the bias of the

Governor's office in apportioning
funds, favoring downstate areas at our
expense. lllis crisis would not exist if
there were an equitable distribution of
funds."
The U/B Dental School, Slaunwhite
noted, sets the standards 9f dental care
in Western New York, trains most of the
dentists and provides1continuing dental
education for aU of them. It can not be
allowed to bCcome "mediocre," he
warned.

Successful beyond intent
The pervasive issue in all of this, sai d
Slaunwhite, is the status of publ ic higher
education in the State. SUNY, he recalled, was originall y conceived as a
catchment for the overflow from the
private colleges during the post-war
baby boom . But, the UUP chapte r presi·
dent said, "it aHracted many top-notch
scholars and investigators, and emerged
as a respected institution o f higher learning. Now , promotion on this campus to
full professor requires nat ionaJ stat ure
in one's profession . SUNY -wide, our
fac ulty attracts about 80 million doll ars
(total direct costs) annually in outside
fu nds; nearly one-fourth of that co mes
here. We compete nationally to receive
these awards. Justifiably, we take pride
in our accomplishments, and we consider ourselves equal to the Columbia 's
and Cornell's in raw ability . We lack
only the prestige that comes from
generations of successful graduates."
The basic ingredient in creation of the
climate attractive to industry which
Gov . Carey talks so much about, said
Slaunwhite, is a highly skilled work
force . That includes the white collar sec·
tor of health delivery, executives,
engineers, urban planners, etc. Here, he
noted, SUNY is a major contributor,
"awarding in 1978· 9 25,448 bac·
calaureate degrees while CUNY, the
other public university, awarded 13,236
out of a total in the State of 85,601 bac·
calaureate degrees. In other words,
SUNY graduated 30~ and CUNY IS~
for a total of 4S~ from the public sec·
tor! Most of these students' families
could not qfjord to· send them to a
private college, and their talents would
have gone undeveloped if it had not been
for New York's system of public higher
education . Maintenance of SUNY 's
eminence ·in education is essen rial to an

Pope combines classroom
with Episcopal priesthood
after revamping his life
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
About o nce a semester-at least for t he
past five years-Robert Pope has shown
up for class "'in colors."

The "colors .. in question are black
and white. And the reason is that thi s

high school dr op-out , ex-marine
sergeant, former cop and Yale a lumnus
(who normally dresses like the
archetypal "preppie") happens to be an
associate professor of history at U/ B
and an ordained Episcopal priest .
One thing about Robert Pope: the
man has an interesting background.

Trying to recall when he first became
interested in the priesthood, Pope goes
into suspended animation for a mo ment ,

rotates hi s plastic coffee-stirrer between

his teeth, th en relays matter-of-factly
tha t, as near as .ftc can remember, he
-first entertaiQed though_ts of being a
cleric as a 12-year-old altar boy. His
pat h to the pulpit, however, took a
meandering route .
After dropping out of high sc hool and
serving in Korea, Pope took a few ex ten·
sian co urses at th e Unive rsity of
Maryland and decided to go back 10
school full -time. Money was a problem ,
so a fter his hitch in the ma rines was up ,
he supponed himself working 48 hou rs a
week as a police officer, and afterwards,
as a Pinkerto n guard , whi le earning a
B.A. fro m Marietta College in Ohio.
One nut a year
With a wide grin that appears frequent ly, Pope says he was accepled to Yale
grad school because the chair of the
History Depa rtmen t " lik ed to take o ne
nu t every year. He probabl y wo nd ered
why an an ex-cop-marine would ever

want to go to Yale, " he speculates.
During his years there , Po pe and his
wife lived in what he termed a "New
Haven ghetto" and became active in the
Civil Right s Movement. During thi s
time. he again felt a caJiing to the clergy.
but ignored it.
With Ph .D. in hand, Pope look a
teaching posi tion in the " perfect
artificial environment " o f the Universit y
of Massachu setts in Amher s t.
Everybody in the area was either an
academic , white or both, he ex plains.
Simply put, Pope fo und the atm osphere
st ifling and began looking to get out.
Making a mental compariso n, he adds as
an afterthought , "That's what' s so ni ce
about Buffalo."
During his first few years at U/ B,
Pope was immersed in wha t he calls th e
' 'upwa rd -a nd -onward -bigger -hou semore - book s- totall y-self -ce n ter c d
academic dream ." Added to this was his
work in comm unity theatre which
seemed to "bring out the worst" in his
ualready-egotistical" nature. A crisis
period followed . Pope looked at his life
and didn't like what he: saw: a man who
was drinkirig too much, ignoring his
family and messing up his marriage.
What be realized he needed-what he
realized he wan/61-was a "change of
focus ."· A switch from an •• I' ' to an
uot:her" ~riented Hfe. This time he
couldn't ignore his calling.
A .....IOI-IIocb"'"

Pope made a personal commitment for
change that brought action. He entered

St. John Vianney Seminari in suburban
Buffalo and became the first
Episcopalian to receive instruction attbe
Roman Catholic· facility. As -part of his
life reassessment, he also moved his
family from a spacious home to a much
more modest two-family dwelling in
North Buffalo, where they still
(bappil.y) _ reside: "There' s ·nothing

pretentious about a two-family house,"
he declared .
Afte r co mpleting his training, Pope
was ordained by Bishop Harold B.
Robin so n in 1976. He had just return ed
from Austria where he was on a Gugge nh eim fellows hip .
In the opinion of this American
Puritanism sc holar, his priestl y and professo rial responsibi lities "refresh and invigo rate each oth er'" rather tha n detra ct
or inhibit. Because of his re-orientatio n.
Pope describes him self as mo re
"genu inely responsive to slUdent s"
now. On occas ion, former student s ha ve
asked him to perform marriages. baptisms and give counsel.
His teac hi ng certain ly hasn't suffe red .
Pope won the C hancellor 's Award for
Excelle nce in Teac hi ng in 1978. and j ust
a 'few week s ago in a Village Voice sup plemen t o n education, he (along with
Geograph y Professor Vince Ebert) w a 'i
cited as an outstandi ng U/ B teacher
On the Oip side, Pope's teachin g
background has shown him how to use
hi s voi ce more effectivel y while
preaching (there are simi larities. after
all) . and has helped him o rgani ze and
write sermons. Much more impo nantl y,
however , Pope po int s out that ha ving
two jobs " prevent s his existence from
being exclusively defined by o ne pro fession ." This can be a special problem for
clerics, he notes, since contrary to
popu lar belief. clergy lack a "good support system" and seldom get the oppo rtunity to reall y commun icat e with each
ot her . Offers Pope : " ll 's a lonely job.
The onl y one more lonely is being th e
wife of a minister."
As far as his demean or is co nce rn ed.
Pope claims he's j ust as "si ll y" in th e
classroom as he is in church. The o ne big
difference is that he refrain s fro m usi ng
scatological references in the latter .
" The Lord believes in laughter. " he
rem arks . And so does Pope . In fact , he
finds it annoying that people don ' t loo k
more joyful du ring services. ' 'Most
Chri stians look like they just lost their
parents," he laments.

is responsible for co unselling, visiting
th e sick , administering sacraments , con du ctin g bible class and Sunday se rvices .
Lillie time, obviously, is left for
research . But he doesn't wo rr y about it.
"I define myself lhrough my teaching ."

No one can accuse Pope of wanting a
second occupation for the el(tra income.
His ministry brings hi m $2,600 a
year-and he "just got a raise." As for
the future:, Pope has every intention to
continue preaching and teaching, but
then again, he admits t hings may
change: "I'm in sales, not in manage0
ment ," he chu ckles.

Higher Ed seen threatened
by a growing capital shortage

Not so black and white
When Pope put s on his " colors" fo r
class, he doesn ' t do so to preach or proselytize. Rather , he tries to show
students that "one can take God seriously and still take ideas seriou sly." What

• The buying power of faculty ,
calculaled on base salaries, plummeted
by 13 per cent during the past two years
of double-digit inflation. "Faculty
salaries ha ve lost significantly more
ground to inflation than those of other
professionals in government and industry."
• The number of college and university admi ni st rators~ is increasing more
ra pidly than the number of faculty, the
report argues, largely to meet increasing
demands by federal and· state government for compliance with affirmative
action, civil rights, and other regulations . Between 1977-78 and 1979-80, the
num~r of administrators at public cOlleges climbed seven per cent, while
enrollmen ts grew by five per cent and
the number of faculty was trimmed by

taxes have increased college and univer·

sector," the study points out, " man y
compan ies can pass along such costs to
consu mers .. . tax-exefnpt colleges and
uni versities are likelier to bear the full
costs ... . "
On a more positive note, the report
says the higher education industry is
working at nearly full capacity . The apparent utilization rate is 94 RCr cent at
private institutions and 91 per cent at
public institutions, compared wi th 7i

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

Senate

Tuesday's session centered on
academic planning, reorganization,
and rumors of transfers
By 10\'CE BUCHNOWSJ(J
ThOII!h no votes were cast at Tuesday's
Senaie meeting, faculty took time to give
feedback on twa mcijor reports: an interim report f~om the Senate's Academic
Planning Committet and a summary
plan from 1he VPAA's office on the
budget, academic " planning and administrative reorganization .
Robert Springer, chairman o.f the·
Academic Pll!n.ning Committee,
highlighted the inJerim report·(set sum!lla..Y of th.e report in toda_y's Reporter).
. Williiun Greiner, assOCiate VP fo&lt;
· ai:ademic ilfrilirs and coordinator of the
task group ..xami~ing the possibilit~ of
reorganizing porttons of that diVISIOn
into an Ans..and Science College, gave
an updale of activities there .. After
Greiner spoke, Senate Cham}lan
Norman · Solkoff complimented the
VPAA '-s offJCe for being "enormously
open to faculty consultation."
Linguistics ctrairman Wolfgang
Wolk, whose ~epartmenl"(along with a
handful of others at the University},
rettntly underwtnt a surprise 008
workload audit, expressed concern over
the · difficulty facult"y have in getting
needed information on graduate facult ystudent ratios and distribulion, and sug"gested the VPAA's Data Base Task
Group concern itself with this while
gathering informal ion for planning.
Senalor Mike Metzger then questioned to what degree the VPAA 's office
would get involved with planning in individual units to ensure lhey fall in sync
with ttie overall plan for the University.
Affirming what was noted in the
report, Greiner·said Academic Affairs is
"looking to departments to develop and
imp\ement their own p\ans.. and that

plan"ning "will not be "imposed from
above." An aggressive effort will be
made. Greiner nottd, to bring in depart ment heads at each level of planning,
without usurping the authority of lhe
deans.

lkp8rt•rits diKoolnced
Arts and L"etters Representative Vic
Ooyno complained that departments
were getting discouraged over Albany's
constant modification of funding formulas and suggested the University get a
long-term commitment to one formula .
"You can't keep ahead of the
bureaucracy-' if they keep on changing
the grouod rules," be ·argued.
Ooyno also told Grei_ner that depa~­
ments need
guidance on how to bst
data-so workkiads, etc:, are shown in the
-bal. Ji.gbt. Ooyno called it a matter of
"depanmcntal survival."
·
Responding, Greiner said a better effort can be made to keep faculty abreast
of any formtila ihanges. He noted the
University doesn't take a passive stance
on bud&amp;et matters btit often "~t~ th!""
(008) at their "game" by prectpttattng
· certain cbaJIFs, like the movement from

Turning -to the .;..cademic Plannin&amp;
Report, Litlraiian l&gt;orolhy Woodson
expressed conc:crn that althou&amp;h tbe

document clearly states that efforts
should ~ made to retain junior faculty ,
faculty on term appointments stand the
chance of "getting reorgamzed out of
their jobs." Woodson opined that this
could be viewed as "discrimination
under the guise Or reorganization .''
Springer told . Woodson he doesn't
view the non-renewal of term appmnt ments based on academic grounds,
reorganization, or ret_r~nchmer1t . a s
discriminatory. Any decasaon regardmg
non-renewal will be done according to
agreed-upon criteria and goals; · and
through an open consultat ive process, he
ad vised .
The only other alternati ve, Springer
reasoned , would be to insist te_rm appointmen ts be renew~ ~ven 1f they
don ' t fi t inlo a reorgam za uon scheme or
compliment Uni versit y goals.
Tnnsferring departments?
Noting rhat consolidation o f depart ment s wa s mention e d in the
Chancellor's Multi-Phase Ro lling Pla n,
Senate Vice Chair Barbara Howell asked
Greiner to shed some ligh t on the "considerable rumo rs" ci rculatin g at U/ B
and at Buffalo State rega rd ing the
transferring of department s.
As far as he knows, Grei ner said , the
onl y transfer being co nsidered is movin g
the Geneseo Libra ry Stud ies Progra m to
U / 8 . He attributed th e rum ors ro a
"casual breakfast con versa tion" VPAA
Robert Rossberg had with a colleague
from Buffalo Slate' s Ed ucation Depart ment. Any transfer the VPA A handles
will come under the full scrut iny of appropriate faculty representati ve groups,
he promised.
Senate Chair Sol ko ff kn ew o f
another transfe r. He sa id Health
Sciences is negotiating a transfer of Buffalo State's Dietetics Unit to U/ B.
Turning once again to the interim
planning document, Social Sciences
representati ve Ed Hovorka suggested
that more specifics be gi ven rega rdin g
the amount of warning time necessa ry
for those term faculty who may be affected by the reorganization.
After Springer indicated the matter
would be further considered by his Committee, Greiner promised the VPAA 's
office would work to " provide alternatives" to th~ affected by any
reorganization . He asserted that it
would be "unethical" ror the University
to hire faculty and have them incur the
cost of relocation Wihout assisting them
in this manner.

Cross is keynoter
for tribute to King
By DOUG CARPENTER
It has been nearly 13 years since civil
ri&amp;hts leader Dr. Manin Luther King,
Jr. was felled by a sniper's bullet, those
gathered in the Alden Courtroom of
John Lord O' Brian Hall were reminded,
but what the man siood for lives on in
each or us.
•
The Minority Faculty and Staff
Association came together this past Friday afternoon with some three dozen
guests to honor the memory of Dr. King.
It was the sixth such tribute sponsored
by the group, and was otganiz.ed by
Association chairperson Ruth D.
Bryant.

U - dlvillo• GE
Philosophy Professor Newton Garver
then rose to tell his colleagues be planned to offer an amendment to the
General Education Program which
could help Academic Affairs bolster
enrollment in upper division courses, an
area where the report notes enrollment is
skewed.
.

Garve.- said his amendment woold reThe tn"bute took shape not so much as a

pointed to a direct correlation between
the growth of higher education and a

She asserted that education is perhaps
the single most effective key to power,
and suuesled that the acquisition of a

be "an appropriate" tribute to Martin
Luther Kina.
"People accumulate power in order to
transform individual interests into
activities that influence either people,"
she noted. And power is secured, she
added, "by puticipatina in decisions on
how to distn1&gt;ute authority." As a
tribute to what Martin Luther King was

Debate
ponders
• •
our origins
From apes or
from God's touch?
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

uwhere did we come from?"
.M~ than 300 persons turned out last
Thursday night to observe a debate on
that oldest of humanity's questions .

"Creation vs. Evolution" was sponsored by the Spealcen; Bureau and
mqderated by Hiteshk11mar Hathi.
Taking the creationist point of view was
Dr. S. Hllgh Paine, retired Hollghton
College professor; the case for evolution
was argued by Dr. H. James Birx, chair
of the Sociology I Anthropology Department at Canisius.
MOr-e than 40 persons had to be
turned away because the Conference
Theater was o verflowing, Hathi
rFJ&gt;Orted, adding that he fell. that most
people carne with their minds already
made up for one side or another, but
hoping for a cOnfrontation.
The debate_ set-up, however,
prevented heated arguments. Both
speakers wanted written questions
turned in rather than have members of
the audience ask them directly, Hathi
said. He added that of the written questions and comments, "about one-third
were rude, and about 10 per cent far too
rude or obscene to be repeated in
public."

Scientist Birx: ' Creationism is • myth .'

Paine ended by describing the
"special creation of the human pair"
and noted that his model "takes care of
all the data ."

is that there is an enemy.''

Can"t get something out or nothing
In his critique of Birx's position , Paine
said , "Science as such does not
acknowledge the supernatural and re quires free inquiry. If science discerns
laws of the universe that are apparently
universal and then another section of
science contravenes it , what conclusion
can we come to?
"According to physics ," he continued , "you can't get something out of
nothing. To get from the simple to the
complex. you must have a source of information . We have to add something of
a higher o rder than we with our puny
minds can conceive of. There is
something above us to explain those
effects."
Paine ended , "There should be
enough humility in scientists to
recognize when the laws of science can't
explain something, rather than arrogance to say they can explain it all.
Evolution is a theory that takes for
granted without proof that we can explain everything according to physical
laws."
Birx's critique was shorter: .. Creationism is an appeal to the supernatural.
It cannot be submitted as scientific
theory."
One expects gaps in the fossil record,
he continued. Darwin himself was aware
of the shortcomings of his theory, but
new fossils will be found since science is
an ongoing process.
"Order in nature does not necessarily
imply design," be said . "Creationist explanations smack of anthropocentrism.
But we are just as free and as dignified
whether created by God or through
Nature _ While faith may be science, I
hope we have faith in facts, logic and the
scientific method."
Maledwovlllisa
In opening up the question--and-answer
period, Hathi noted that one person had
turned in a written complaint that both
speakers spoke of God as a man and not
a woman. There was some applause.
The ?r'rst question was addressed to
Paine and asked wby he felt that a oneday creation seemed more logical than
one which took millions of years.
- "It's in the data of the fossil record,"
he answered. "lbere are cenain points
in the fossil record where all of a sudden
there is a big jump to a new form of tife.
A sudden appearance of that type is explained by creationism much more than
a slow process."
Birx later addressed that point: "The
appearances of new orders occur in ·
small populations at the beginning and
increase ,over time. A1 the beginning of
any. ·new fauuly_ so few individual
representatives of this group exist that

Creationist Paine:: br tooted fonnidabk .

there is a very small chance any will
become fossilized . As more fossils are
found, these spots and vacu ums will be
filled.
"At least evolutionists are looking for
them," he added pointedly, " and not
referring to a supernatural being ."
Someone asked Paine why only the
J udeo-Christian view of creation was
considered true by creationists.
"Tbe Bible is to me the standard of
truth, the watershed of the whole question," he replied. "It is an absolutely
self&lt;onsistent body of writings. It is the
word of God . If it is not, then it is the
most false book in tbe entire world ."
Wllat sll-ld be tucllt I• sdtools!
Both men were asked if evolution and
creationism should be taught in public
schools.
Paine said he does not feel both
should be taught in entirety in grade
schools but that in higher grades, both
should be taught as possible explanations.
Birx referred to the history of conflict
between religion and science and said he
is "deeply in favor of tbe separation of
church and state. Creationism is a myth
that should be taught only in religion
classes, not in science textbooks."

Senate developing. faculty stance on planning.
Over the next two years, the Faculty
Senate Standing Committee on
Academic Planning will issue semiannual reports giving " detailed faculty
pOsitions on niajor issues" related to
academic planning . By the end of that
time period, the Committee hopes to
have a "substantive faculty position on
planning" in hand, notes a recentlyissued interim report.
The reason for this " evolutionary
approach, " the report explains, is that it
wiU provide an opportunity fo r testing,
faculty .feedback and modification of
planning efforts.
.
According to the report, the first
order of business for the Committee is to
"delineate a commmi goal" or vision of
what the University should become.
Following wiJI come a consideration of
the student body the University wants to
serve and resources needed-both from
the State and from _altemative sources.
" It seems reasonable to assume that
the University we decide to become will
be different from the University we are
now,
the report point s out.
"Moreover, in spite of efforts to
become active in recruiting and in ob·
taining outside support, we face a very
real prospect of declining enrollment
and support.. .. It follows that even if
retrenchment is avoided it will be
necessary to plan for some redistributi on
and redirection of resources.' '
The Committee, chaired by Prof.
Robert Springer, also plans to issue a
report on the " measures" or criteria to
be -used in making planning decisions
and "any appropriate weighting factors
that should be applied in conjunction
with them.' '
Two - l i a l elements
The report emphasizes that two "essential "dements'' must -be ·observed in
planning-involvement of "appropriate
faculty and staff groups at an levels"
and disclosure of activities to the
University community. "If such a process can be implemented, much of the
traditional division between faculty and
administration may be avoided," the
document suggests.
The committee's future agenda also
includes an identification of short-term
goals the University can pursue
regardless of dwindling resources, and
an examination of tbe means by which
budget reductions can be realized.
"lbe way reductions are handled is of
extreme importance," asserts the Committee, "affecting tbe morale which will
prevail during the next decade more than
any "other single process. Faculty conCerns regarding tbe allocation of such
reductions must be clearly and firmly
stated."
Finally, tbe Committee will also examine and issue a report on the role of
the libraries in academic planning.·

resources should be made p tlrSllant to an
academic plan designed to promote the
overall strength of tbe institution.
e Reductions in resources should be
accomm·o oated through open public
processes in which faculty and staff are
afforded a meaningful consultative role.
• Reductions should never he accomplished through "covert retrenchment. "
• Retrenchment should not be undertaken without a clear demonstration that
lesser measures would have resul ts
significantly at variance with the aims of
the academic plan . At the same time,
reductions should not be accommodated
solely by attrition if the patterns of attrition would significantly shape the
character of the institution in ways inconsistent with the academic plan.
e If retrenchment is required, no fulltime faculty or professional staff on
term or continuing contracts should be
released upon less than one academic
year's notice of termina tion of contract.
e Redu cti on in resources should be
accomplished in ways which avoid or
li mit reductions in enrollments .
• Reductions in resou rces should not
be accom modated in ways which seriously threaten programs of demonstrated excellence , centrality, or both.
e Departments central to the longterm eminence of the University should
not be stripped of junior faculty.
e Junior faculty should not bear the
full burden of reductions in resources .
Allocation criteria
Decisions regarding allocation of
resources, the document points out in its
next section, are an "administrative
responsibility." The faculty can and
should , however , "establish the
criteria.'' The Committee recommended
that four criteria be used as the basis for
resource allocation: demand, exellence,
centrality and promise. The report notes
that ucareful definitions" of the criteria
were not established, and invites discussion that could contribute to more
precise or expansive definitions.
In discussing the criteria, the report
states that demand should "include consideration of enrollment history and
future projections.'' and "recognized
instructional and service demands of a
nonclassroom nature. Planning should
not attempt to respond to fluctuations ·
by hiring or terminating full-time
tenured or tenure-track faculty," it
warned.
Decisions about excellence should be
based on both graduate and undergraduate instruction, and research, with
judgments "based on a wide range of independent, externally verified criteria."
Instructional excellence should mean
"excellence in intellectual development
rather than merely excellent preparation
for a particular career,"e.e report goes
on. "Excellence in research should place
a heavy emphasis on quality rather than
merely quan~ty.'·' · The Committee
recommelided that tbe University, as an
additional :measure of excellence, sjlould
" systemalically keep track of where a
unit's graduates go and what tliey do."

In a brief section of tbe document
'dealing with "external constraints," tbe
report notes that the State budget and
tbe ''Priorities used in establishing it"
must be recOP.ized ·in -any planning prociess,""ai well as contraetual ag'reements

Pra&lt;edures ud criteria
The report outlines specific procedures
and criteria for allocating reductions. It:
calls for consultation with various campus constituencies (including students)
before decisions on reductions are made;
argues against pro-rated distribution of
reductions or simply using attrition;
calls for allocation of cuts by departments or, below that, by separatelybudgeted specific degree or certificategranting entities; urges that departments
whose student-faculty ratios equal or exceed the planned ratios of their facult y
or schools be spared cuts unless those
units are to be reduced as a matter of
policy.
Schools and faculties whose studentfacu lty ratios are in order, however. may
still be assigned cuts if units within them
have ratios substantially lower than the
overall targets , the report proposes .
There are also 11 suggestions for
short-run accommodations to cuts, including increasing on-load instruction in
Millard Fillmore College and the Colleges, funding teaching salaries with soft
monies, encouraging low demand area

fac ulty to offer general education
courses, restricting sabbaticals to full
year at half pay, reducing tbe work force
within high tum-over areas on a temporary basis, staffing summer courses
on-load, and a temporary moratorium
on T As and GAs in low demand areas.
Finally, the report, in its section on
"The Planning Process," notes that the
VP AA recently offered a proposal for a
consultative process that was favorably
reviewed by the Committee. According
to the VPAA's proposal (which was
recommended by a special task group),
the process will involve input from two
major groups: an administrative group,
composed of members of the Dean's
Council and augmented by VP Donald
Rennie, DUE Dean John Peradotto and
a representative from acadertliJ:: services,
and .a faculty-student-staff group composed of the Senate Standing Committee
on Academic Planning, and augmented
by representatives from SA, and the
faculty. and staff senates.
The Committee encouraged the health
sciences to adopt a similar procedure. D

Campus hearing prompts talk
of changes in TAP regulations
During a legislative public hearing on
the Main Street Campus last Thursday,
local Assem blyman Robin Schimminger
was joined by Mark Siegel, chairman of
the Assembly's Higner Education Committee, in calling for an increase in income ceilings forT AP eligibility. Schirominger also pushed for a toll-free " hot
line" to the H igher Education Services
Corporation (HESC)--the agency that
administers the State's fmancial awards
program-and promised he would soon
introduce legislation to make part-time
students eligible for TAP assistance.
Schimminger (D-140th District) told a
panel of legislators-which included
Buffalo Assemblyman William Hoyt
(who requested the session) and State
Senator Kenneth Lavalle, chairman of
the Senate's Higher Education Committee-that he has received numerous
complaints from constituents regarding
long delays in processing awards and
poor follow-up by HESC to repeated
phone calls and correspondence.
Students and parents are entitled to
know the amount of an award before
school begins in the fall, the
Assemblyman asserted.
Schimminger urged the State and
Senate Higher Education Committees to
establish a bot-line so families and college officials can get prompt responses
to inquiries about fmancial awards. He
reminded the panel that BEOG, an agency which administers Federal funds to
students, maintains such a service.

IJppl• .uba•DIS IUid lllhlimums

Because of the combined effects of
double-&lt;l.igit inflation ilnd the increasing
costs of education, Sehimminger said he
is sponsoring legislation (blll A. 1234) to
raise ·the maximum family income for
the minimum 'tap award to $30,000 and
to increase the·im:ome limit fo'r the maximum award tor .an students to ~s.ooo.
Since 1969, tbe income limit for the $200
minimlim has been $20,000. The present
ceiling for the maximum undergraduate
award · is $2, 7S0-$2,000 for grad
students.
Schimminger complained that spiraling inflation has pushed many of his
constituents above current limits,' making their children· ineligible for awards.
When effects or inflation ilre considered; Schimminger said, the proposed
$10,000 . increase in income level is
"niodest" and actually represents "less
than tbe ~t leVel of $20,000 adjusted,_for inflation since 1969.''.
· In an attempt to aildress the· rmancial
needs of · growing numbers of· nontnlditional students whO return to school for ·tetrainiil&amp; cir career advancement,
Schimminger announced he will also introduce a bill to make students
registered for 6 to II credit hours eligible

fo r awards at one-half the full time level.
Assemblyman Siegel voioed similar
concerns over families being "caught in
a vicious squeeze characterized hy a
decline in real income." Noting that the
$2, 7SO income limit for m4ximum grants
"is far below any reasonable definition
of the poverty level," Siegel called for
an increase in tbe income thresholds for
minimum and maximum awards. He
also urged "enrichment" of awarck at
each income level so students from middle income families can benefit as well.
Law students bud-bit
U / B Law School Dean Thomas
Headrick warned tbe panel that if funding for SUSTA (State University Supplemental Tuition Assistance) is not
restored, U/B Jaw students-who
typically come from modest income
families-will bear a disproportionate
financial burden.
Headrick reminded the panel that
only students who have incomes low
enougb t o receive the maximum TAP
awards are eligible for SUSTA . In
1979-80, he said, 226 individuals or 28
per cent of UIB's law students feU in this
category. If the budget is not modified
to include SUSTA fuods, Headrick said,
these rmancially strapped students will
lose $1,200 a
in aid in the face of:
$300 tuition hike.
I
Since UIB law students alteally
graduate with an average. debt of between SIS,OOO and $20,000, Headrick
said the additional expense will "force
them further in debt or put law school in
New York out of reach for low income
students."
As it is, Headrick pointed out, U/B
baw · School resitlebt tuition is biglier
than non-resident tuition· at public institutions in other States. Because of this
cost discrepancy plus less available aid,
the Dean predicted- many of the
brightest, low income students . are
bound to go elsewbere for schooling and
·practice. "When this happens, New
York loses- resources important to its
0
future development," he warned.

'Supercleaning' technique
may bolster implants' success
The success rate of dental and
orthopedic devices D;l&amp;Y be lncreased
using a technique which " supercleaos"
their surfaces before implantation, U/8
researchers have cliscQvered. .
The technique, called Radio Frequency Glow I&gt;isdwxe (RFGD), involves
putting the implant"into a v11a1um containing dectrically excited argon gas
molecules . These molecules then
"saub" remaining unwanted material
that may i.Qterfere with tile body's ability
to heal, and sterilize the implant .
A team of Drs. J osepb Natiella,
Michael Meenghan _and Harry Flynn
repon that the "sl!percleaning," dooe.in
COI\iuqctioo with Dr. Robert Baier of
Ca1span Corp., allows betier adhesion
of the implant to surrouodina tissue.
Such adhesion is desirable in subperiosteal dental implants and may be
beoeficial for implants such as those
used in the hip and Imee.
Baier and his associates at Calspan
now koow that certain surface euerJies
on the implant influence the reaction of
body surfaces. For eumple, in implants
used in blood vessel replacement, a surf~~ee eneraY of 20-30 dynes per centimeter reduces the incidence of dottioa.
However, in dental implants where
adhesion of cells is desirable, a ruae of
~10 dynes per centimeter is more effective.
"There is evidence p.&amp;t no l!llllt~ how

thoroughly imp[Jnt surflooes are cbnal
before implutalion iuDtc aurem techniques, they often still ba&gt;oe ~
traces of organic and iDOrpDic: COII·
taminants," Dr. Natiella explains. Some
of . these cootaminants are "StaaUs, a
waxy residue which resulis from
finishing, oils on . the implant surfaas
caused by human~ and partides
of sand used in "l'"OUIIIinc" ~ of
the device.
·
The U!B team found in animal studies
that little tissue adllesioD was ot.ned
in oral implants used in IIIOilke,s when
standard cleaning was c:oaduaal. But
there was an iocreued nspoaoe at the
tissue-implant interfiiCe and inaased
tissue adhesion when implaDts wae sabjectod to RFGD.
They said their research sugp:sts 111a1
mucb of the SU&lt;XICSS or failure of certain
types· of implants deperlds in ~or pan
upon the small ZODe ~ the tissue
of_the host and the syDihetic material.
"More research must be doDe in tflis
area of implantoiO&amp;Y." Dr. Natiella
says, "but it would appear that &amp;low
dischar&amp;e and other techniques which
may be developed may increase chances
of suca:ss for oral and orthopedic implants."
The research was funded by a grant to
Dr. Natidla by the National Institute for

Yeshiva
Landmark case put pall
on faculty bargaining efforts,
but ACE counsel is optimistic
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSIIU
Last year's Supreme Court ruling in the
Yeshiva case had a "chilling impact" on
collective bargaining efforts in hisher
education and gave many administrators
a psychologiCal if not a tactical advan~
tage in their dealings with union
organizers. But Shddon Steinbach,
general counsel for t11e American Council on Education, predicted bst Friday,
with ihe sagging econpmy, depleted student pools and looming ~renchmenls,
unionization will make a comeback .
. Steinbach spoke at a ._U/B Higher
Education break fast at Niagara U.
-The f1ve-four decision 'TCDCiered last
Febniary ruled that the National Labor
Relations · Board (NLRB) had no
jurisdiction over the Yeshiva faculty.
More specifically, that the faculty did
· ot have the right to engage in collcctive
bargaining with the colle!!e adminislratiort because of the extent io' which tbey
were involved in manqerial (as opposed
·to just instructional) exercises.
The impact of the ~ion. DOled
Steinbach, rekindled dcbll!e OVI:I' the BJ&gt;propriateness of col~ive'bargaining in
institutions of hi&amp;her education, and has
since been the subject; of numerous
articles.
.

Steinbach pointed out U...t until tbe
- early 1970's, the Nl1lB dcdined to
assert jurisdiclion -over · collective
bargaining dforti in private or independent colleges and uni¥ersiiiCs: Altbouz)J

Givina the backarQOind' .of tbe c:a2,
Steinbach relayed that- wheil 'the faculty
association at Yeshiva flk'd a rc;prescntation petition with the NLRB sed ins certification as a bar!iainiDs . ascot. the
.University opposed it, claiming. faculty
were,supervisory or mariagerial penonnel and not merely "employees."
The NLRB, however, foilnd the·faculty were professional employees, 001
managerial, and should lie' given the
right to oi-ganize. The Board based .its
der;isioo on tbe fact tbat. ,the filc:alty

"aCted collectively" i~ their decisions
rather than individually and that tbey
also . acted "on their own behalf" and
· not the university's. Further, the Board
argued that all facul\y decisions .were
subject to final -determinaiion- by the
school's boaTd of trustees.

S..:,-

Court felt there was no justificalion for
the Board's assumption that faculty exercising independent judgment act
primarily in their own interest.
In an important footnote to tbeir decision, tbe Court S!Jggested, Steinbach
continued, tbat other institutions exist
where fao:ulty-because of tbcir particular role-are not considered
managerial. The Court also indicated
tbat some fao:ulty at Yeshiva probably
did not fall under a managerial category.
"It may be tbat a rational line could be
drawn between tenured and noo-tenured
faculty, depCnding upon how a faculty is
structured and operated," tbe court
stated.
Writing the minority opinion, Steinbach said Justice Brennan "painted an
entirely different picture." The Justice
said tbe majority- decision was
"distorted by rose colored lenses
tbrouah wbicb it views tbe governance
structure of a modem day university."
Brennan furtb&lt;:r stated tbe Court's conclusion tbat tbe professional interests of
the flallty wert indistinguishable from
that or Yeshiva administration, "rests
oo an idealized model of collegial
decision-matin&amp; tbat is a vestige of a
great medieval university."

......,

.._.

In his written dissent, tbe justice also
pointed out tbat tbe role of tbe faculty in
university decision-making is "attn'butable solely to its coUective expertiae as professional educators and not to
any supenisory or manap:rial prerogative." He further .arsued tbat ~ notion that a faculty member's "professioaal competeD&lt;&gt;' could depend on his
UDdivided loJalty t!l m&amp;nagement is an·tithdiaol tq 'the whole concept of
academic r.-toro." Tbe fact tbat faculty at Yeshiva wanted to unionize was
evidcllce enouz)J for Brennan tbat tbey
did not perceive their interests to be
aliped witb management, explained
Stdnbacb.
SiDce tbe higher court ruling, Steinbach relayed tbat efforts by faculty at
privale collego:s to unionize has "slowed
to a virtual standstill." In at least 30
ipstitntions where uniQDS were for:med,
StmlbKii -aid administrations h&amp;ve
cited tbe Yesbiva decision and refused to

cSdc:Ption to the '80 Winter pmc:s ,

Ice core curator ran press room at Olympics
By IJNDA GRACE-J:OBAS
Bernard Kapuza, who is currently the
associate curator of the ice core
laboratory in the Department of
Geological Scieoces, is on his third

career.

The first, which lasted for 30 years,

was as lll&amp;llqer of technical services for
Western Union. In that job, he ovcnaw
the installation, repair and maintenanCe

of satellite, voice and data communica·
tions systems for Western Union companies ltatewide.
On takina an early mirement at qe
55, Kapuza took a one-month coune
which foc:uaed on career changes at
UIB's Adult Advisemellt Center. He
was still decidin&amp; what to do when, "out
of the blue," u he puts it, he received a
call from the Lake Pladd Olympic Committee. His former employers at Western
Union had recom!IICI!do1 him for the
job of press communications coordinator for 1ut year's W'mter Olympics.
Whcli that job wu over almost two
years later, Kapuza came to UIB. As
associate curator for the ice core lab, he
recaitly wu-in charae of moving 3,212
ice cores, each weiahi.a&amp; 3S to 40
pounds, from 1110rqe in New Hamp~ to Merchants Refrigeration in Buffalo.
"In "this job, I'm essentially keeping
of almoat every ice core in the
oiled States," Kapuza said. UIB is the
'tory for all ice cores drilled in proects ipOIIIClred by the National Scieoce
OUDdation. Dr. Olester Lanpay,
t chairman, is curator. "We
requatJ from all over the world for
core samples, and we have to he
that we lleDd iamples from the
location and depth."
While Kapuza thinb his U/B job is
'fantutic: " it w.s his stint at the Olymics ~ Q. "at..oiutdy out of this ·

operations for approximately 2,000
print media representatives (the Olympic
press corps totaled 3,.500}. The press
operations Kapuza set up encompassed a
high school gym turned into a press
room, a staff of 114, 800 telephones, 150
video terminals, 350 typewriters in seven
lallguqes, four huge television screens
and 36 smaller ones.

international agencies, including UPI
and TASS, descended on Lake Placid
for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Pointing
out that the press corps alone outnumberal Lake Placid's 2, 700 total
population, Kapuza said his wu a
~our-a-day job.

Kapuza 's view, was the result of middle
management people who worked "day
and night" to get things done. The rnajor snafus, such as transportation
problems at the beginning of the Games,
were due to top-level people, some of
wliom were fired .
Of the press corps itself, Kapuza says
the neatest were the Scandinavians. The
messiest? The Americans, wbo thought
nothing of using the carpeted noon as
ashtrays.
Kapuza says he'll always remember
the high points of the Games, especially
the moments when the American hockey
team pulled ahead of the Russians in tbe
third period to win. All the foreign
athletes were rooting for the Americans,
he said, and when the buzzer sounded,
"I never saw a happier crowd in all my
life. ••
He did, however, feel sorry for the
team from Finland when they were
beaten by the Americans. " They 'I'C"e
very nice people," he commented.

The expertise he gained at Western
Union saved the Olympic Committee &amp;J&gt;proximately SISO,OOO, Kapuza
estimates. (1be total press budget was $2
million.)
" We established a sophisticated
system never used before," be explained. "This fuvolved using video terminals
Kapuza believes that the press tended
to send stories at six times the speed of
to overplay the "bad parts" of the
Telex machines. A reporter was able to

Oppose ROTC,
writer urges

We'll all subsidize

~-

Editor:
In this day of raJ11f811t miliwization of
our resources -3JI; protest viaorously
against the retumbf ROTC to thiJo campus. To reestablish ROTC at thiJo institution is to discriminate qainst all of us,
for it sets up a privileged group on campus.
It is imperative for students to realize
the intimate connections between
dccrcasins funds for public education
and increased military spendina. We
need only look around us to see them .
Recall several weeks ago, President
Ketter told the Faculty Senate that
freshman admissions applications had
incr..iscd 17._ over last year, yet admissions would be cut from · 3600 to 3000
and limits would be put on the number
of students entering the engineering program. It was also ll)entiooed that there
would be a serious attempt to severely
reduce tuition waivers. On top of thiJo we
are all too aware of President Reagan's
proposal to slash one of our vital fmancial lifelines, federal student aid.
Similarly, take note of recent studies
which show military spending soaring
past $1,600,000,000 over the next (ive
years. The cost of thiJo we bear entirely
through our taxes and it averages out to
$20,000 per household, perhaps as much
as the head of the household makes. The
cost in terms of damage to the country's
social and economic health is nearly incalculable.
Now picture this. It is oext fall, and
despite minimum combined tuition and
room and board increases of $3SO, the
slashing of your work-study, BEOG and
TAP, you stiU find yourself attending
U/ B, even though you must now hold
down a job. You also had to throw your
parents even deeper into debt by making
them take out one of those new ParentStudent loans.
As you sit in your overcrowded Chem
recitation in Acheson AnllCJ&lt; (your class
has been combined with another section
due to budget cuts) or your Management
course in Crosby, your class is repeatedly interrupted by the shouts of ROTC
· students performing their morning drills
in fuU uniform on Diefendorf Fidd, just
like they used to ten years ago. You must
pass by these future Generals as you
enter Clark Hall, for this is where they
have been allotted valuable space.

·. And slowly ygtff~t the discriminauon. Although everj class you take has
inadequate facilitia and is overcrowded
you begin to riilize that your tax
doUars, wbich are gobbled up by the
military, have paid for special ROTC instructors, as weD as the subsidization of
ROTC students (to the tune of $1000 per
year) and ROTC space on campus. You
have discovered reality; tltat you are do
more than financial cannon-fodder.
Reflect upon this now, as you try and
figure out' bow you will meet oext
semester's tuition, rent for April or dinncr tonight. Also ask yourself why we
. could not take those tax dollars that are
going directly to the military and providing for ROTC military instru¢tors
and facilities on our campus and pay for
our own teachers and supplies directly.
I call out for President Ke~r and the
Faculty &amp;Coate, as well as collllCttled
. students to foUow the lead of the SA and
GSA and come out in vigorous opposition to the reestablishment of ROTC on
campus.

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

Amended budget
not grounds for
campus optimism
The Governor's ' 'amended'' budget re-

quest for 1981-82 restores most of the
cu t$ tailed fo r in the initial budget
message. It incorporates for the first
Lime the principle of shifting resources
from one SUNY unit to another. But it
also puts SUNY and U/ B on notice that
leaner, meaner student-faculty ratios
can be expected during the next five
years.
The Deans' Council received this
message from Deputy Vice President
Robert Wagner Monday as part of a
briefmg on the difference the recentlyagreed-upon tuition hike will make in
State University funding for the coming
year. The tuition hike will pump some
$20.2 million into the SUNY budget ,
W41&amp;DCC told tbe deans .
U/ B will
a
gaih of II positions as a result. BUt Academic Vice
President Robert Rossberg emphasized
that the restorations in Che wake of the
tuition hike are not ol!lens of better days
ahead. " We must prevent tbe development of optimism.'' the VPAA cautioned, because it is clear that fiscal hard
times still lie ahead.
A major reason for Rossberg's assessment was that, in exchange for this
year's budget restorations, SUNY has
agreed to uincreased productivity rates ' '
of approximately seven per cent each
year through 1984-85. That means, interpreted Wagner, if enrollments remain
stable, faculty lines will be lost. If
enrollments go up, faculty won't be added at a corresponding rate. The nip side

Projections are, Wagner said, that
U/ B'• enrollment in 1984-85 wiD be
about the same as it is today. That has to
mean cuts in f acuity.
In addition, other members of the
Deans' Council suggested, State funding
for hizber ~!J(:ation, according to
Carey's plan,.is to be increased over the
next fiw: _years at a rate coosidcrably
lower than the inflation rate. lf you add

Tbe amended budget also shows a shifting pauem-of-appropriations for SUNY,
away fr&lt;in State appropriations toward
tuition and other income generated by
the system. The 1981-82 budget increase
of$94.7 miUion is made up of only $39.4
miUion in tax monies. The remaining
$55.1 million, 58 per cent of the increase, comes from either income or tuition. This is a pattern likely to continue
in the future, Wagner suggested.
It is clear, said Rossberg, that we are
going to have to concentrate on using
more effectively the resources that we
have. More and more rdiance, he

Nestled next to Capen, between
O'Brian-Baldy aod the Eusineerin&amp; subcampus, IUiox Hall doesn't look like
mucb on the outside. Inside, though;
you'.d be surprised.
Lou111e areas on both levels, a main
entrance with a skylight and staircase,
and broad balls offer -a fedilll of
spaciousness. One super-large room (to
seat 4SO), three moderately-sized ones
(with capacities of 22S), and two smaU

aild IOUIIICS, cleverly juxtaposed to
make the most of the available space.
Each classroom has retractable
screens, a projection booth, and a
demonstration bench and wet lab
utilities. There are experiment preparation rooms, complete with fume hoods
.and emergency showers. These are reaDy
multi-purpose facilities .
Tbe big ball ·is.s-o big that, without the
desk-seats; visitors get the feeli111 of beina in a small domed stadium.

Skyli&amp;}lted Knox mtryway.

Seats and carpets come later this

spring and will soften the effect.
Knox Hall is expected to he host to approximately 100 lecture oourses per week
and to lectures, lolms, etc., on off-hours.
It is connected directly to the ground
and first levels of &lt;;:apen Hall-so campus pedestrians cao move into and out
of the spine without braving the
weather.
You can, however. proceed across
Founders' Plaza on the second level into
either Baldy or O'Brian.

Wben you do that. you make an
amazin1 discov.,Y. SlaDdins at one of
the second level exits and looking out,
you see O'Brian. and Baldy towerina
before you across a paved, laodseaped
plaza. You can't quite see the construction fences and tom-up sod just to the
east, behind Baldy. You get the fleeting
impression of standing at the heart of a
finished quadralllle. Tbi1115 are be&amp;innilll to r.t together. n almost looks

target." He presented a map entitled
"Nuclear America," which showed the
country peppered throughout with
Strategic Air Command airfi~lds,
nuclear submarine bases, ICBM fields,
and major communication and command centers-"targets that have to be
attacked" in an atomic war. The
American people, he said, are all on
''ground zero.''
On the blackboard he sketched .an
ICBM, a three,.stage · rocket, ..the top
stage of which is shot through space,
after lauoch, carrying a number of Mark
12A nlldear warheads. After travelling
4000 tq 6000 miles, the projectile reenters the atmosphere at 20,000 m.p.h.,
releasing each warhead to detonate
precisely over a pre-selected target.
"All of' the advances of the space program have been incorporated into 'this
letiJIII technology," he said, with the
Sovret Uriion only 24 minutes away by
missile over the polar ice cap.

" President Eisenhower ordered secret
preparations for nuclear war in 1958
over the Quemoy and Matsu (Chinese/
Taiwanese offshore islands) crisis." And
during the massive U.S. bombing of
Laos and Cambodia durina the Vietnam
war, he imparted, "there were secret
threats of the use of nuclear weapons,
repeatedly." Deterrence has been merely
a "rationale, n a "selling point" given to
the A,merican people, he said.

that ultimately there will be a place and
time for a uruversity which wiD respond

to the educational pbiloeopbies~f .U nations," be explained. "We believe that
there is no place in the world for
etltnocaltricity, and are hopin&amp; for ooe
university·aomcwhere-it doesn't matter
where-which would draw upon
methods of leamina from various
cultures, with students from all over the
world."
This attempt to "de-i:mperialize" •
culture and education would utilize not
only American educational techniques,
Molefi said, but also traditional African
communalism, where "education is
facilitated by aroup goals seekin&amp; barmony rather than conflict," and Asian
consciousness theory, which espouses a
holistic vieW of the world.
Molefi has been at U / B since 1973,
when he was one of the two youngest 1
persons ever to be camed full professors
here. He bad com~&gt; to Buffalo straiaht
from UCLA where,"apin, be was in the
forefront of a social and cqJtural
shockwave, haviDJ been amo01 a aroup
of 4S black professors hired there in
1969. That aroup included Angela
Davis; be was later to serve as public information officer for the committee to
free her.
''Those of us in that aroup still maintain contact," he said. "We were all in·
volved in a totally new movement that
was liberalizina educati'!n."
Lured to UIB, Molefi remembers the
early days of his tenure here and·the battles his views iJnited.
"I was youna, independent, a political
activist, a revolutionary intellectual in
constut search of the truth," be
remembered. "The field of communication out of which the present department
emerged~ communicalloa-was
very American, very provincial. No
black atuileot bad ever gaduated from
the department before I came."
A lloC . . . . oa fonip ~~~~Mats
A bot debate arcw over whether forcip
araduale atudents, who Molefi said
came to study with him in Buffalo after
his 1973 book ~ Comnaillic»tion bepn sel1ina well' in South Africa
and other countries, should have to take
the OREs. As chair, be rdllled to enforce a faculty vote to raise admissions
standarda from a 3. 0 cumUlative averqe
to 3.$, a lllOYe which, be said, was unfair.
The continuin&amp; influx of forcip
studenta was incRasinJiy ''nldical" for
the department to handle, Molefi said,
thOUJh be bas continued to aocept and
work with them.
"Today, I see myself as workin&amp; as
bard u I can to help keep the standards
of the department up," be said. "I have
fmally come to a realization that I
should have bad a lona · time qo, and
that is that racism is - a permanent
psycho-social reality in ADieric:an
universities. Consequently, I am always
by definition in the Great ()ppolitioa."
CoalnmnJOftl"~

He c:ertain1y bu helped, jl not always to
create controversy, tbeil to keep the
debate open·tbrouah· his outspokenness
and refUsal to stay withihlearly defined
ideololical boimds. He cited a cleba!e
c:arricd out tbrouah th!: campus press
last year after be Uld IOD)e others isaued

does notlDalce you a -~er after truth.

Academics can be some of the most closed people."
Molefi often discusses his trips to
Africa. "I feel good about Africa," be
said. "When I JO to the continent, I
know it is my worth and my contributions to scholarship that are considered.
and not my color."
He noted the struuie one of his
"mentors," W.E.B. DuBois, bad in
aainin&amp; acknowledsement for his contributions to scholarship, and said that
be feels it is difficult, if not impouible,
for blacks to pin aa:cptance in the
white academic world.
Maplle...ta.,...
"'One of the most fascinating things for
me, in Africa, was the honor granted to
me by Prime Minister Mupbe, who
cancelled a news conference with the
statement that he bad to meet Dr. Molefi
Asante, who he considered to be one of
the outstanding scholars of African
descent."
ShakiDJ his head in the wonder that
still showed on his face, he added,
"Now, I know I'll never JCl to see
Reapn!"
Molefi's other mentor, whom he has
viSited a number of times. is Cheikh Anta Oiop of the University of Dakar, an
"outstandiq scbolar," be said.
"If I could come half to w~ be and
DuBois are in their humanism and areat
love of truth, I would be happy," he
feels .
Those who have clashed with Molefi
in the past will Jet no comfort in the
thouaht that he is mdlowiq with aae"Tbe older I aet, the more radical I
seem to become," be said. He feels
disappointed with students in American
society-in general today, for their lack of

ideas and the commitment he saw in the
60s and early 70s. He supports the
women's movement, and has lectured
many times on malc/ femaJc issues.

w-··

lillenliolo aol .... doarity
.. The true liberation of women is not an

act of male charity and can never be.""
he said. " It is a fundamental n=ity
for a civilized society. There is much
truth to the fact that the condition of
women is much like the condition of
blacks and Hispanics historically.
"' The urgency with which women approach 1~ issue today," he continued,
"is an urgmcy based on its absolute
necessity. Now, I hate to presume lo
speak about women's issues, but I find
that women are in the same position as
blacks who say that .to become successful they ha~ to become white. Some
women feel they have to become like
men. But this is not liberation. it's

another entrapment ...
Molefi noced the importance of symbols 'in maiatainiq the status quo.
"I like to wear. my dashiki." be said,
"because I like it. But people say all
kind$ of lllinp..tlout that, that it'• militut. rnolutionary, when I'm simply
weariq what I li,ke. And for ...,_,, _
men have to learn that pay tweed 511its
are noc indicative oT ability to run a
CQmpany. It's a crazy problem. "
For the near futu~ Molefi said, he is
Join&amp; to concentrllte on his raearch ancL

students.
"My RaJ concems are excellence in
critical and creative thinkiq," he said.
"My students are nonnally appra~tices.
I do noc like disciples. I telltheni, if you
are aa appra~tice for a little while, you
won't have to be a disciple or a slave
forever."

cent simply .. went home," said Haws,
wryly addiJta that "one went to Bermuda." After the Revolution, !he Scots
who had remained became "Americans
by fail acr:ompli." Some of those who
bad left were subsequently invited back
by their relatives.

11leJ
··
Scots were

popular with early
American power brokers, admitted
Haws. Thomas Jefferson, for instance,
was "no admirer" of the Scots. He
added that two Scottish physicians "kiU·
ed George Washington by administering
the wrong medicine at the wrong time."
1bere were minor irritations, too. Some
Episcopal churchgoers couldn't under·
stand their Scottish pastors. And in a
very real sense, he allowed, the ,.Scots
were early exploiters or the Virginia colony. But, contended Haws, the self·
interested Scots simply possessed more
commercial savvy than their English
counterparts .
While the Scots bought colonial
tobacco at a price they themselves ftxed
(only then, would they sell back im·
ported goods from Scotland at an inRated price), this "was the price Virgi·
nians had to pay to develop the tobacco
market.'' according to at least one
historian.
Moreover, they weren' t "cheap," so
much as · "frugaj and excitingly
cautious," said Haws to audience titters.
"They beat the English at their own
market;" the English merchants, it

~he

seems, wouldn't take a risk on buying
the tobacco on sight.
It .... ·t be 'Macllooll'
Haws noted that the interest in the Scot·
tish role in America is part or a rising in·
terest in ethnic heritages taking place
throughout the U.S. Even so, he joked,
the BBC series won't be dubbed
"MacRoots." Haws bas spent "7 !lz out
of the last IS years" in Scotland where
all his publications originate. Scots in
America bas sold 3,000 copies since its
December IS, 1980 pubUcation date.
Further indication of this interest-and or the prominence of Old
Dominion in this regard-is his school's
upcoming "International Scottish
Festival of Art, Music and Drama (and
an accompanying Tenth Annual Conference on Scottish Studies), set , for
April2-ll in Norfolk. Tbe BBC, related
Haws, is making a SlliO,OOO invesllllellt
by seoding a ftlm crew over for the conference (although "they won't use it if it
isn't good"). Tbe festival wiD iDclude all
kiods or cultural events, such as
premiere performances or plays by Scottish playwright Doriald Campbell. a concert by Glasgow Cathedral organist
John R . Turner, readings from
Shakespeare's Macbeth and performances of arias from the verdi opera or
the same name.
Information on the festival and conference can be obtained by contacting

Studies/ Old Dominion University/Norfolk, Virginia 23508/ (804) 440-3179. 0

Haws noted, for instan~ , that the
medical school at Edinburgh University
was one or the "greatest" or 17th
century Europe, especially in surgery.
Archibald Blair (sent for by his
Episcopal clergyman brother James) set·
tied in Williarnsbur!!· He became "one
of the best physictans" around, and
eventually started his own business. "By
the mid-17th century, 40 per cent of
English Williamsburg was Scottish·
owned," said Haws. In general. the
Scots' commercial activities in Virginia
were essentially those or self-interest.
Still, they arrived at a time when the colony desperately needed their skills.
The clergy were important, too.
James Blair, Episcopal representative
(this was a time when Scotland was
divided over loyalty to the Church of
England and fealty to John Knox's
presbyterianism) settled in Jamestown.
In 1693, he founded the CoUege or
William and Mary, second-&lt;&gt;ldest in·
stitution or higher learning in the U.S.
The Episcopal-Presbyterian conflict
notwithstanding, the idea that Blair
"tried to pack the colonial Episcopal
church in Virginia" is just not true, said
Haws. The Scots' role ilveducation was
also crucial to Virginian development,
be continued-even when those involved
were "I~ figures ." Some settlers, he
added-especially those between
171S-4.S-were "shipped over as
crimina1s." StiU, they had "talent" and
contributed a great deal.
In various Virginia settlements, such
as Norfolk and Charlestown, their
numbers grew as "a tremendous search
for relatives" began.

Wben the ARTF was founded in 1976
by a small, ·independent collective of
women cooc:emed about the problem of
rape on C8Dijllls, the screening process
for potential program ·staff members
was .relatively. simple, and not always
conclUsive. Today, Glasser explains, applicants must spend more than an hour
with a teain of ten interviewers, discussilll the issue of rape in society . and

At a ~one like five years, there is
an uoderstandably strons temptation to
look bitck imd evaluate the impact of an
organization like- the Anti-Rape Task
'Force. But in the case of a matter like
rape, a crime traditionally shrouded in
concealment and misunderstanding,
there are few clear indicators.
Statistically; says U/B's Department
of Public Safety, there are rarely more
than 2 or 3 r~rted !'25eS of ~ on
campus in . any given year. alibciugli
many more are known to occur. Since
the ARTF's inception in 1976, the
statistical level of rape has been relatively stable. But even in the absence of a
conclusive improvement in reported
statistics, tbe Task Force seems to be
winnins· its fight where victories are
hard""t won-in the minds of the
people.
Good relatloas wltll Public s.fety
''Woinen are taking more precautions to
protect themselves," observes Peggy
Chapados of Public Safety, whose
duti"" inclutle a close· involvement with
cacb case of rape imd sexual abuse on
campus. Chapados ciedits the work of
the Task Force with raising public consciousness about rape. She also cites the
cooperative working relationship that
has grown between Public Safety andthe ARTF as a plus for U/8. .
So at five-years old; UIB's Anti-Rape
Task Force counts the candles on its
cake ... one for its improved van shuttle
service, one for its expanded escort program, one for its diversifying public
education campaign, one for its productive.. liaison role with local authorities,

In traditional 17th century W""tem
society, he noted, boys were not isolated
' from household casks ·as early in
childhood as they are today. It was common for boys weU into their tems to
assist the women of the house. later in
the 17th century, however, housdlolcl
duties became more detailed and there
was an increase in tasks. Food prepar.t-tion, a very simple process in the early
1600's. became specialized by the end of
the century.
A shift in female labor toward a
specialization in household tasks occurred at this time, and Steams saw this as
the reason men left the housework to
wC&gt;plen. He even speculated that women
were active in pushing for this change in
order to elevate their status in the bocne.
The .change in the level of work for
women in the home was so profound
that men did not feel they were involved,
Steams prOpOSed. Male sanctuaries
became more exclusive and Steams felt
that this was achieved simply to provide
a refuge for men outside the home. In
the middle of the 18th century, male
willingness to accept employment as servants also declined. This was .soon to
become almost exclusively a female role.
Steams tentatively suggested that men
were pressured out of this area, also.
The Industrial Revolution helped
push men away from the household even
further. ln the 19th century, it was simply unrealistic that men could ·. do
housework in addition to demandioi
outside jobs. The increased specialization of .. women's wort:"' had become
- fundamentaUy impOrtant to the family
unit, and this role also increased in the
19th century. A separation of boys from
household duti"" at an earlier age also
took place then. Stearns said this occurred because of the decline in appreftticesbips and the trend toward schooling
of younser boys.
What bas happened to this pattern in
the 20th century? Stearns felt thai these
early pattems have continued and men
stiU don't do much around the bouse.
The non-work time men have spent at
home has increased since World War I,
but the amount of housework they do is
stiU low. 1bere bas been an expansion of
certain duties, like Iakins out prbaae,
~terior upkeep of the home ana
mechanical problems, but Stearns view- .
ed this as only picking up extra wort
around individual households. ·
Steams advocated more research in
·men's literature of the 18th and 19th
centuries so a redefinition of men's roles
can take place, a redefinition that
women can actively participate in by not
dismissins men as useless around the
house ..
Stearns" main contention was that in
the past, women viewed the home as a
way of attainins a degree of status otherwise denied them. At the same time, he
argued, this pattern created a greater
dependency-of men upon !"Omen.

'Diviner' saves
.University thousands
When Peter Suchocki was just a young
man of 12, he would walk in the country
searching for water wells with willow
tree twigs. When he stood near an
underground well, he recalls, his friends
would marvel because the 1wigs he
clutched ''bent so far down that the bark
started cracking.''
Today, the U/B electrician-"diviner"
is much mt&gt;re sophisticated. He uses
coat hangers.
Lucky for the University he has this

rare talent. Suchocki was hustled 10 the
Main Street Campus Friday to try to
!rack down the whereabouts of a
plugged sewer line. As he has done so
many times in the pas! with the help of
an impromptu divining rod, Suchocki
located the right pipe-this one near
Haye s Annex, buried 13 feel
underground .
Dave Rhoads, acting head of the
Amherst Campus Physical Plant,
estimates Sucho_cki has saved the

fashion that few could miss.
"Everyone laughs at me, but I don't
care. l come up with the results,'' he
says.
AI times, Suchocki admits, he gets
"embarrassed" when students stare at
him. Some of his co-workers, who enjoy
a good laugh, simply brush the
onlookers away by announcing "he's
crazy," he goodnaturedly reports. If
there are roo many people milling about
when he tries 10 work, Suchocki may
come back at an off lime.
So finely honed are his talents, that
when the University's electrical circuitry
was plagued with hungry, wirechomping mice, he used his rod to locate
and fill the mice boles.

University thousands of dollars in man

Suchocki, wbo owned a plumbing and
electrical business for 20 years before
coming 10 U/ B almost seven years ago,
says he can 't explain how the divining
rod works. It has something to do with a
" magnetic field" a nd his body

General Education's top concern is getting a foothold
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
ReOecting on the status of U/ B's
General Education Program, GE Committee Chairman Peter Hare leans far
back in his office chair and offers,
"What ·we're really concerned about is
getting a foot in the door. "
Hare recognizes the program-even in
its now di.lured form-still irks some
faculty. In fact, he contends that given
the heterogeneo.us lfature of the University and irs long tradition of faculty and
departmental autonomy, "it would be a
damned miracle" if the program didn't
rilfne some feathers .
As Hare sees it, GE "runs counter to
some powerf'ul established trends" here.
For example, the Gen Ed Committee
(GEC) insists on evaluating both courses
and the teaching credentials of those
who wiU be involved in the program·.
Moreover, it's hacl.tbe audacity to disapprove courses and to declare its intention
of keeping a close eye on
approved
offeriJlll once the program officially
gets off the J!IOUnd. If complaints are
voiced, Hare says, it wiiJ be up to the
deP.artment dWrs to refute them or
willidraw .the offering in question,
This, be COIII:edes, does not register
well with ~~ faculty . Simply
put, it pates ap'iilst the loog-standing
laissez-fmre policy generally surroundinl academic.matten. · .
.
With this iii mind, apart from the
educ:ational,merits of the program, Hare
is convinced GE will .prompt ~
"underpaduate:reform" that can have
a benertcial effect .oo tcachiq · and,
possibly, oo colJeaiality. It will provide
the iinpetUS or the excuse, he believes,
for some department heads to police
areas where they previously f~ to
· tread. ]'be fact that faculty may have to
come together to decide oo departmental

au

offerings could be ·a new experience for
some, let alone the idea that they may
have to meet colleagues from other
disciplin"" 10 coordinate particular activities. The latter would be the case, for
instance, if Option C of the Math Skills
proposal is adopted, the one which
would involve faculty from throughout
the University in teaching various
modules. Because some departments
now don't even meet as a group, Hare
realizes GE implementation can force a
change from a comfortable (albeit a!
limes ineffective) modus operandi.

Starting a tread is pivotal
What is pivotal to the success of the program, asserts Hare, is "the starting of a
new trend." Once faculty can get use to
"change at a University-wide level,"
then Hare predicts, in time, the resulting
climate will be more amenable to GE,
perhaps even to the full 11-course program as _origiilally· conCeived, With its
Theme and Alternate Core components.
This "trend" may be buttressed by
the proposed reorganization of
Academic Affairs and tbe initiation of
the .Math Skills .. and . Honors Prognams-new ·cOncepts that)llso involve
the bi'Qkdown of tradition&amp;l academic
boundaries, be advised .
.
Becaose--the GEC is concerned -with
getting ·the University Community accustomed to the .program, Hare is not
dejected that the "overwhelming majority" of approved GE offerinp are
already in the coune'DIOIIit«file. He remains confident that once faculty "'!!!,.,
gauge thes~of new liitjnp,-they'll
be motivated to develop others. Again,
however, a "trend"· must first be
1$tabliSbed.

bound to generate student and faculty
attention are " The Art and Science of
Decision," developed by Biophysics
Chair Michael An bar, and "The ScieJJce
of Energy," developed by Robert
Kurland of Chemistry.
Kurland, with the solid backing of the
VP AA and the DUE office, applied for
an NSF grant for developmental funds,
Hare reported. A portiorl of the course
will involve computer use. -x.nbar's .
course, according to Hare, will touch on
several academic spheres, including
economics, ethics, statistics and
sociology, and will ''encourage a
methodological !'igor" applicable to a
wide number of areas.

Aa hmtatioe to professloul Khols
In an attempt to bolster the GE program, Hare said he recently sent all professional school deans a memo formally
asking them to consider developing GE
offerings. The reason for the appeal, he
explained, is that the professional
schools, whether so·me choose to
acknowledge' it or not, cOnstitute a
"great strength" of the University.
Since U/8 already has a "professiooal
.school image," Hare ri&amp;UfCS Gen Ed
listings from those areas "could add an
"exciting dimension," making the program more "distinctive" and "attractive" to future applicants.
.
Before GE can make a smooth debut
in the fall of 198'2, several items of concern must still be resolved. The GEe is
now re-aaminintl how the skills camponent' should ' be applied to transfer
students, and whether foreip students
should be allowed to use course work in
the IntenSive English l.anguaJc lDstitute
as a substitute for !be Writing Skills requirement.

will be necessary.
The GEC is also unsure that thn!eweek -long modules provide enough time
to cover the work involved, especially
since it often takes one week for students
to get settled in a course. The Committee
would prefer a loqer, perhaps a . fourweek, module, offered for more credit.
Also, Hare said the GEC wants postresting incorporated in the program. As
far as that goes, he adds, a "good case"
can be made for post-testing in Writing
Skills as weU.
The idea of modules-or mini
courses-has been used successfully at
major institutions throughout the country, Hare advised. If faculty can't
cooperate to bring this venture to fruition bere, "something is fundamentally
wrong," be remarked.
Not neryo.e apees
Some of Hare's coUeogues, however,
don't share his enthusiasm for the Matll
Skills Program . . At the February 11

·that most of the greatest ex·

�Camaval
Carnaval In -Brazil Is an explosion
of five days of dancing, drums, and
general-revelry before the austerity
of Lent. It Is a combination of influences:l:uropean (Venetian-style
masked balls and gOrgeous floats)
and African (samba dancing and
bongo drums), although the concept of a carnival as
religious
holiday accompanlea by wild
celebration goes ·back to the

Greeks.

Poets: Act II
Among other things, poet
Lawrence Ferllnghetti is known for
founding In San Francisco the first
all-paperback bookstore in the
country, City lights Books, which ,
through .its Pocket Poet Serie_s,
was the fi rst to publish many new
young writers, especially those of
the " Beat" poetry movement: one
of these was Allen Ginsberg and
the poem was " HowL" Ferlinghelll's own work includes one of
the best selling poetry books of
our time, " A Coney Island of the
Mind, " published by New Directions in 1958 and now in its 23rd
pr inting . Endle ss Life : Th e
Selected Poems of L-a wrence
Ferlinghett i is scheduled for
publication in May 1981 . 1twill contain the poet's own choice of hi s
best work from ei ght previous
books of poems, and the long title
poem, '!Endless Life," from a work in-progress.
Ferl inghett i has participated in
many poetry events throughou t
Europe, including readings in Paris
and Avignon as a guest of the
French government last summer.
Despite his fame abroad, however,
hls books are rarely reviewed in
· this country and he has threatened
to bomb the New York Times Book
Review offices with fireflies.
Ferlinghetti will present the inaugural readlnl} In the new Black
Mountain II Poetry Series, sponsored by Black Mountain College II
and the Gray Chair of Poetry &amp; Letters, in cooperat;on with the
Albright -Kn o x Art Gallery . All

The second reading will be by
Robert Creeley, the most famous
(together with Charles Olson) of
the poets who taught at the
original Black Mountain College in
North Carolina. Creeley has been
on the UIB Engl ish faculty since
1966, and now occupies the abovementioned Gray Chair_ His book,
For Love: Poems 1950-1960, was
nominated for the National Book
Award and brought him to international attention. He has published
much since then , including some
laconically titled collections of
poetry- Words , Pieces, Hello,
Later. Creeley has also collaborated with visual artists (e.g.
Marisol, Jasper Johns, Jim Dine)

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

that could have a dramatic effect on the
way arts aDd sciences aDd the Division of

The !P"OUP, which received jts charge
early this month, bas "been asked lo
make a pr~ report this Monday
that will or will not pve thi VP AA a
"commitment for reorganization" of
Academic Affain.
Underscorin&amp; the silnifiCIIIlCC -Qf -the

Lauren Shapiro. A graduate student is
fft to be IWiled; William Greiner,
associate vice-praident fQr.ac.demic .affain, iJ actina .as coordioator · of the

group.
ROISberg-a man viewed by colleagues as deliberative in nature-said
. be asked .for a relatively quick initial
response partially as an expression of the
· "sense o f urgency" be feels regarding
the ·matter. Also, from a pragmatic
perspective, ROISberg is aware that with
the semester slipping away, some significant decisions must be reached before
lhe University goes on its unofficial
IWIIJII~ hiatus.
Septemloer IJIIlls tile dream date
If the task group shows "reasonable
-support" for reorganization, the VP AA
·said be would set np a timetable and
move towards implementation, hopefully by Septembei 1982, his "drtam
date. "
According to Rossberg, the primary
purpose .for any reorganization would be
to strengthen the traditional 8J1S. and
sciences lireas on campus. This, be
points out, is wbe:re "major erosion"
-bas taken j)ljlce ·OV~ :the Y"l'fS.
Wbatev~ tl!e :task group specifically
recoimnends,: Rossberg emphasized that
~~ts-tbe ouiPQmJ&gt; Jo be Ji -·~solid ,
well-integrated Undergraduate effort in
arts &amp;Dd sciences." Then, he predicts, a
"ripple effei:t" will come, one that will
haVe a positive impact on the entire institution-from professional programs
(m terms of supporting substantive
course work) to graduate education in
the core -areas, and the "'career and curriculum concerns of the students we at-

tract."'
··To do this properly, the "entire DUE
concept" me will have to be examined,
advises· the VPAA. That is, be continued, we will have to ·look at "bow
eurriallum and personal development
IJierlje, bow advisement is deliv~ and

how students become bonded to particular subject areas." Delivery of
General Education must also be consid~.
.
Because of "potential recombinations," ·Rossberg predicts that eventually "we may be a little smaller." But the
sbrinkale will also brin&amp; a welcomed
decrease in "fragmentation of effort."
What spurred Rossberg into taking

quick action on the matt~ was his recent
review of the d istr i bution of
undergraduate instructional effort, student mixes and the in~elationsbies of
programs in the core area. Until he
assumed the VPAA post. Rossberg said,
he bad little idea of the actual magnitude
of the problems, particularly with regard
to workloads.

The numbers, asideJ ~· RoasbcrJ
said be was catapU)tea into IC_tion by tbe
"repetition or cooceros"· voiced by
fao:ulty, 'department chairs and deans
rqardiog tbe effect of tbeae problems
on tbe "nature of tbe institution."
"The reports I bear say, 'My class is
too big,' 'Too many students are
failing,' 'Students seem uninterested,'
and 'I don' t lilr;:e leadting anymore.' "
"Wby?" be asks rhetorically.
The "wby" is wbal must be addressed
by tbe task llfOUP, submits tbe VP AA. If
not, be fears \be University runs tbe risk
or losing tbe "essence" or wbal tbe
educational enterprise is all about.
As Rossberg views it, all this is intimately linked witb wbat some call tbe
"quality of life" on campus. The
reason, be explains, is tbat tbe quality or
1iie "slariS witb tbe academic thrust of
the institution." The hassles associated
witb going to school in Buffalo, or at
U/B in particular, are only "secondary
contributing factors" to tbe quality or
life issue. Wbat is most important, tbe
VPAA insists, is tbe '" perceived quality
and excitement or tbe educational experience."
Altbougb some members of bis task
group . stand tbe cbaoce or being
detbrobed, flgi1T8livdy speaking, by any
restructnring of Academic Affairs, tbe VPAA expressed confidence tbe report
will not reflect any seiJISb consideralions.
"This is not propaganda," Ross berg
began, " but one of tbe real pleasures of
Ibis i.ob is tbe fact tbat 1'"': increasingly
cooviocedwehaveacoDecUonofpeople
witb exceptionally bigb integrity on Ibis
campus. I'm sure everybody bas sdf in~ is threatened by potential
assaDlts on areas of ~or interests, but
in 1\&gt;e final analysis in every situation
I've~ in, tbe level or integrity bas
been 10 bigb tbat I can't see people mal&lt;ing deciaiooa based solely on their
political sdf-interests."

Wbctber or DOt OOB will look more
favonbly on UIB for uy atreaml.ining
of Aaidc:mlc: AITilD is aaybody'a auess.
but~ VPAA allpbuiml tbe purpose
of any reorpoizalion is not to score
points witb Albaay. A hoped for OUI·
come. ·however, will be a more "effective men•V""'"l structure .•• Also, while
• it's not neccasarily an end in itsdf,
Rossberg ackoowledaed tbat tbe
reorganization will likely make tbe
University more in syoc with tbe way
OOB appraises .. via the ''40&lt;dl
matrix," a plan wbidl usiaaa budgetary
weights to programa ..x:ordina to area
and level. Tbouab oo one really knows
wbal tbese weights are, lloabcrg said a
good auess is tbat tbe lowest weight goes
to lower division work in ooo-Iab areas
and tbe highest to doctoral work requiring labs. The reat falls IOiilewbcre in
between.
"If tbe reorganiZation does COO·
solidate and fill in tbe P.PI• particularly
in some of tbe upper division areas, and

Alao, from wbat be's beard and discussed witb otben, tbe VPAA believes tbe
Uoivenity is "ready to consider its
totality." That is, to start asking probina qiiCitiona about tbe "type of inatitnlion - ..-e" u opposed to !be 1riod or
inllitntioo .._ - t o become.''

The idea is. ii!lt new. Ai some may

union catalog more difficUlt, and the
task of changing cards, deciding what
could be interftled, and creating an a·
tensive number of cross-references
would place an impossible burden on an
already limited technical services staff,"
Edens said.

New fllillg nales
Concurrently. new filing rules developed
by the American Library Association are
being adopted to simplify the filing of
cards and the retrieval of catalog
records.
The new filing rules call for ftling
word by word, ignoring punctuation and
distinctions among persons, places,
titles, etc. The following series is now
flied as indicated: London, Andrea;
London, Jack; London and Londoners;
Londo,n Conference. Now, all will be interfiled alphabetically: London and
Londoners; Loodon, Andrea; London
Conference; London, Jack .
Also, all numbers will be ftled in
numerical order before the alphabetical
listings. At present, numbers are ftled in
alphabetical order as they are spelied .
Under the new system, 1984 will appear
in numerical sequence before the A's
and will not be found with the N's.
Representatives of the Libraries have
aplained the changes to memberS of the
University's Dean's Council and the
Senate Libraries Committee. Subject
librarians will meet with individual
departments over the corning months to
hdp familiarize faculty with the new
proc:edures. A series of clinics for
students is planned once the two
catalogs are in operation.
Roy . and Edens promise, too, that
handouts will be available in each of the
libraries, explaining use of the D&lt;:W
catalog and bow it relates to the old.

Presidents of the University Research
Association, Inc.
The election was held on Feb. 13 al
the group's annual meeting at the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory in
Batavia, lllinais.
The UniversitY Research Association
is made up of representatives of the top
53 research universities in the U.S. The
organization was set up at the request of
the f¢eral government to direct and administer the funds of the Fermilab, the
largest linear accelerator in the world.
Dr. Ketter has been a member of the
group's board of trustees for five years.
As chair of the.Council of Presidents, he
succeeds William G. Bowen, president
of Princeton University.
Elected vice chairman of the council
was Robert L. Glucl&lt;stein, chancellor of
1he University of Maryland.
Other members of the executive committee, all presidents of their respective
institutions, are: Bowen; Harold A.
Enarson, Ohio State University; Marvin

In view of the situation, the task force,
outlined the following course of action
now being. adopted:
· I . The union catalog, the card
catalogs iQ the Science and Engineering
Library, the Undergraduate Library, the
Chemistry Library, and the Mt:hitecture
and Environmental Design Library, and
the card ·catalogs serving the Art Book
Collection and the Mathematical
Sciences Collection were closed effective
December 31, 1980. No new cards will
be ftled in these card catalogs.
2. A new union catalog and new
catalogs for the above mentioned
libraries and ·collections to ioclude titles
cataloged or recataloged January I,
1981 and later have been started.
3. When a monographic, serial, or
classified periodical title is being ·
cataloged in 1981 for the first time for a
unit of the University Libraries, any
catalog record in the old catalog for that
same title will be transferred to the new
catalog. Necessary ch11111es will be made
to bring the old cataloA record into conformity with the new catalog record.
4. Monographic sets still being
published in J 981 will be recataloged
and transferred to the new atalog as
new volumes of the sets are received.

_Spending ·.trillions for armsleads to tight money on campus
rule and run over us.
No one can receive an education out
of the barrel of a guo; no one can be
housed in an anuy tank; no one can
learn how to live from military instructors bent upon training others how to
kiU; most important, no one will have
the money for tuition, for loans, for
dorm residents, for university profesSors, . for buildings, for administrators, for degrees-if we continue to allow such massive sums of
money t() g~ to the militl!TY.

We will surely fulfiU this campus' tradition of isnorance unless we begin to take
the initiative to speak out apinst the
militarization of our eeonomy. This ad·
ministration shoukl be in the forefront
in con4emning the trillions investC$1 in
waste ·if there is to be any university
worthy of the name. Even that sabrerattling Soldier of Rishteousness, Billy
Graham, only recently made . a public
condemnation of this excessive military
expenditure. Can we do anything less?
(It seems BiUy, unlike us, has sense
enough to realize that a 20"fo tribute to

the Warlords of Pentagon Capitalism
threatens the financial capacity to expect
a lO'Io tithe to the Lord on High; we
cannot serve two masters .)
There was a lesson taught in the Vietnam War, namely, that no country can
afford the cost of modet'n warfare; it
was a lesson that was taught but not
learned. Today, we must come to the
realization that no country can afford to
pay .the costs of preparing for wars.
President Johnson thousht it feasible to
have both guns and butter while at war
in Vietnam; we on this campus try to
convince ourselves that we can still have
butter simply by never mentioning the
realities of financing the military at the
expense of our education. We do not
·confr.o nt any budgetary problems but
rather the revitaJization of the arms
race.
The noble anguish over budge!·
slashing and rising costs merely provides
all the proof needed to realize the acute
failure of leadership upon this
campus.

was not partiaUy restored to us as the
Council vote of January 22 directed.
Our fuU-time staff line (held by Judy

line. The Dean's office has picked up
task work for tbe New York Regional
Women's Studies Conference "New
York Women Respond to Racism"
which was only part of Judy Gerich's
work. Therefore, the Dean's offer for
.restoration which was then passed by the

agreements between Women's Studies
Colle&amp;e and the Dean that were already
in effect when .the Council voted that

latest cuts. Furthermore, the most
devastating problem caused for us by the
cuts, the absence of a trained staff to

UUP ads bad

impact on-jump
in applications

Ed!lor:
The Reporter's Feb. 5 story that applications for enrollment have increased is
certainly welcome news. We have aU
seen demographic projectiom of
decline. They have produced a sense of
doom within the University -and have
threatened to become self-fulrilliog pl'()phecies as the Governor cuts our budget,
just in case. Coovc:nely, the increase in'
enroUments and in applications should
lift our hearts and conceivably soften the
Governor's.
But I want everyone to know that this
increase in applications (11.6"') did not
happen by chance. A y&amp;r and a IWf ago
UUP addressed the problan of tleclioin&amp;
enrollments, particularly in view of the
extensive advertisin&amp; by private colleaes.
SUNY, by law, is prohibited from
advertising. So UUP ~its own campaign, with an initial bliclget of $15,000.
The campaign's cbainnan, an admissions officer at Cortland Slate Colkge,
deveiPped an ingenious plan in consultation with other UUP members from
several campuses. For the potential
students he desisned radio spots ·for
"rock" stations; for their parents he
took out fuU page ads in the "Pennysaver" shopping ~ that are
sent free to haines in tbe major population centers. Both methods blanketed
the State. In 1980 alooe UUP spent over
$111,000 on this Bdvertisina campaign.
The result is wbBt you have seen: a
dramatic leap in the number of. applicants. In fact the increase was so sreat
that SI:JNY Central (which processes all
applications initially) was unable to keep
up with the increased flow. /Ap.io UUP
intervened, demandioa that additional
workers he hired. Tbat
done and
now the turn~ time for applicatiom is only 10 clays.
So considerable credit shollld go to
the initiative, intelliaente.· and persistence of our union. I can say this
without blushing because I, personally,
had nothing to do witb it. Of course
UUP did this because without students ·
SUNY cannot expect to survive. II

The trend of government duplicity

An in~ thing is happening to Buffalo theatre, says the chairman of the
UIB Theatre Department.
"Along with more established
organizations, independent theatre produccn are starting to emerge," Or. Saul
Elkin told memben of the Community
Advisory Council (CAC) who met
February II at the Center Theatre. It
seems their emergence bas bad a ripple
effect. An active indepeodeni theatre
life, said Elkin, is the hallmark of great
theatre towns like New York. Moreover,
with the exception of New York, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago,
Buffalo is the only U.S. city with five
live theatre companies, be noted.
UIB, of course, is · part of this

New roles limit
stays in U.S.,
but are flexible

New immigration regulations for foreign
students are rtricte:r than those that have
been in effect for tbe past two yean, liut
remain much more flexible than earlier
regulations which called for annual
renewal of visas.
The cbanaes have been interpreted by
oome forei&amp;n students as being
repressive actions aimed at keepina them
from beiDa politically active. But Dr.
Joseph Williams, director of international student affairs at U/ B, sees tbe
new rules amountina to no more than

The new regulations abolish the openended "duration of statw" time limit on
visas for non-immigant students. After
they are in effect, the stays of foreign
students will be limited to defmite
periods. The new rules also esta~

when he returned to his home town of
Tanous in Syria. "It is about an Arabic
marriage ceremony," he said.

BD!lDess Is IDterested
He has even been approached by local

business people who are interested for
economic reasons-they may be doing
increased business with Arabic: countries. Roustum agrees that world
economics will increase interaction bet·
ween countries and that, "the Arabic
language will become one of the important languages of the world in the
future ."
Rousturn began teaching the course
here last semester, with a 101-1eve1 introduction to Arabic language and
culture; 103, the most advanced course
in Arabic at U/B, and 499, an independent study course. This semester he is
teaching. a continuation of the introductory course and another independent
study course. Approximately 20 students
are enrolled now, 26 last fall .
This semester, Roustum ·said, he
hopes to include more ftlms and
speakers about the Middle East,
well
as cultural events which will feature
Arabic music, fOod and dance and
which will be OP~&gt;n to the community.
Lasl semester, several faculty visited his
classes and one presented a ftlm.
. One of the ftlms he will show this
semester is one he made himself,in 1975

Roustum came to the U.S. in 1972 as a
freshman in the Intensive English
Language Institute here; he desaibes
Dr. Stephen Dunnett, director, as having been "most helpful" to him, theh
and now. He received his BA in English
and linguistics from Buffalo State in
1977 andbis MA from Fredonia in 1979.
He returned to U/ B for his doctoiate
last semester.
Dr. Wolfgang Wolck, chairman of
Linguistics, supetvised the teaching and
Jean Wiscberatb of International
Studies also provided invaluable help,
Roustum said .
"I liope someday to work at the
United Nations for my country as an interpreter or counselor." Roustum said,
"or teach Arabic and translation courses
about the Migdle East." ·
While he sees himself returning to
Syria some day, Roustum hopes to
"gain experience" ftrst in this country,

Geologist looks at dirt
as subject of paintings
B)' RutH ANN F1NI
How bas a substaDce usually associated
with the word "dirt" come to gain appreciation in the world of art?
The process bas beat slow, VISiting
Professor Fiorenzo G. Uaolini indicated
in a lecture preseated under the joint
spoosonbip of the Department of Art
History and the Center for Cold Regions
E.aaineeriDI. Science and Tedmology,
on campus, Feb. 10.
The polopst and specialist in soils,
who wu vililina from 1\te College of
Forest Resources, University of
Wubinaton, Seattle, said that it bas only beat in the last SO yean that "soil" as
a 1~ manifestation bas become
an important e11:ment in art.
This may come as a surprise to those
fJIIIiliar with the artist's traditioaal use
of clay, c:bUk and cban:oal-all m,redienta of IOil. But Uaolini wun't talking
about the pilylical use of the natural
oubltance in c::ratiDa a work of art.
The )iainlina enthusiast, born and
rmed in the rich artistic enviroament of
fl9rcoce. Italy, wu referrin&amp; to soil as
the subject matter of paintinp.

in the works of U.S. artist Winslow
Homer and even the Impressionist Paul
Gauguin, Ugolini noted. The belief that
the vivid hues of red used for ground
cover in some of Gauguin's works,
reflected a purely emotional response to
his South Seas environment is false, the
geologist insisted. The colors represent
the tnle nature of the reddish-orange
soils found in the area.
"It Wll5 not until the advent of
abstract art," Ugolini asserted, that
tbinp really began to change. The artist
began "to look at reality and break it
down." This was when soils began to
enter art.
The modern artist Jean Dubuffet is an
outstandin&amp; example of the new breed of
artist, Ugblini said. Dubuffet created
"soil profiles" - works which combined
a variety of soil ingredients such as sand,
pebbles, and sediment often mixed with
a resin binder. These works mirror the
"horizons,'~ multi..:olored layers of
orpnlc: substances moving in a vertical
direction, that make up soil and are the
source of much excitement for the soil
apecialilt.
UaoliDi encouraged the audience to
train their eyes to look beyood the everyday world and to see and appreciate the
"dirt" of reality.

The U.S. Department of Education
should back a policy of rKiaJ parity for
access to hi&amp;ber education as a minimum
reqyirement for federal 111pport of inatitutions, userts a study released 1aat
week on the status of black Americans in
higher education.
"Eqnal Educational Opportunity:
The Stat~ of Black Americans in
Higher Education, 197S-77,'' publisbed
by Howard University' s Institute for the
Study of Educational Policy, OSEP)
points out that in 1977 blacks
represented 9 .3 per cent of all students in
higher education.
"Some observers," the repon says,
" have claimed that these proportions
are sufficient for racial parity, but considering age-group patterns in the larger
population, a minimum of 12 per cent
black is necessary for racial parity."
ISEP, a seven-year-old national clearingbouse and research center on issues
affecting blacks in hi&amp;ber education,
drew these conclusions in its new report:
• Federal and state agmcies should set
up improved links betweet~ seooodary
schools and colleges and betwccrJ twoyear and four-year colleaes.
• Government authorities should encourage, through their funding policies,
those institutions and groups which have
greatly contributed to equal access.
• Before federal-aid programs are
overhauled or reduced, . impact studies
should be carried out to assure that
serious consequences for blaCk students
do not result.

-Anderson on

ice :~~robleins
Pipeline, skating
rinks will benefit
Currently und~ construction in the
Midwest is the southern end of a long
pipeline thJlt wilf in time ;{ranspon
natural gas from.Alasn. Dr.' Duwayne
Anderson. dean of the Faculty of
Natural Scicnces ~and· Mathematics, is
currently headins a study group sponsored by the Polar Research Board
which will study problems that this long
pipeline will have in common with more
mundane structures sw:b as ice skating
rinks .
The Polar Research 'Board is a branch
of the National Research Council and is
sponsoring Anderson's study group on
ice segregation and frost heaving
through its Committee on Permafrost .
Anderson's chairmanship of the group
will run to June 30, 1983.
"It's very important that we understand the problems of ice segregation
and frost heaving very thoroughly."
Anderson comments, "because they occur in aliy lorla-time frozen situation of
ground."
Three of tbe primary areas of concern
for ·the study group, Anderson explained, are bow these natura l
phenomena affect buried pipelines such
as the one now being constructed, buried
storage tanlr.s such as those used for liquefied natllralgas, and year-round ice
rinks. He added that be's already been
contacted by one local school for advice
on how to handle problems with its
hockey rinlr..

Problems
Pro blems occur when lhe ground
heaves upward, In the &lt;laSe of the hockey
rink, or inward, in the cases of
underground pipes or storage tanlr.s, due
to ice segregation, Anderson said. He
explained that, in general, substances
tend to move from warm to cold
regions. Ground whose temj)erature is
below the freezing point attracts water
from considerable distances. When the
water reaches the frozen . ground, it
freezes out in the form of pure crystals,
rejecting mineral matter and other imyurities.

"When this happens, the additional
volume expansion required for the water
to freeze exerts a deformation force on
the ground or any cOnfbain&amp; structure,"
Anderson'said.

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

To the surprise of some, Rossber&amp;
relayed that he doesn't feel the Governor
is biased apinst J)ublic education: Instead, lie's come to the conclusion that
the Slate looks at hillier education as a
''sin&amp;Je enterprise'' and not in terms of
funding for private vs public institutions. Rather than viewina hiaher education in an adversarlal and competitive
framework, the VPAA' said, the Governor's office sees education as 01 &amp; unit"
which is supposed to deliver its services
in the most economical way possible.
"If we operate oii this assumption, I

U/8 freshmen:
who are they?
U/B freshmen said .. making more
money" was a very important reason in
_their -&lt;leciding to attend college. Just
over 60 per cent of the peer group
freshmen said -money was importaut.
Nationally, the figure was 63~ 4 per eent,
including 77 per cent of those attending
predominantly black institutions.
Ninety per cent of U/B frosh were 18
or younger, compared to 80 per cent at
our peer .institutions and 75 per cent
nationally.
The figures show that .. we really are a
public institution," in terms of whom
we enroll, one observer commented.

HeavUy lkewed to eaaiiHftillll

UIB students are predominantly interested in technical and business
careers. Almost one quarter of freshmen
intend to be engineers, compared to 13,3
l?"r cent at our peer institutions an&lt;l10.7 ·
per cent nationally. Six per· cent ofU1B ·
fresbmen .... omen have engineering
careers .in mind, while just '3.9 per cent
of women at our peer institutions and
2.9 per cent of women nationally have
the same goal.
The next most popular career choices
at U/B and the percentages of students
interested in them are: busiiii!SS executille, 8.3 per cent; compukr programmer, 5.9 per. cent; /Qwyer, 5.8 per
cent; (7 .8 per cent at our peer institutions); arclril«l or urban p/Dnnu, 5.6

Women at our peer institutions were
mucb less interested in either nursing or

Politically speaking, almost 85 per cent
of U/B freshmen classed themselves a5
middle of the road (59.8 per cent),
liberal (24.9 per cent) or far left (2.0 per

per cent of frosh on those campuses consider themselves conservative or far
rig1it, compared to only 13 per cent here.
Natiooally, 18.3 per cent of freshmen
are c:ooxrvative-far right; 21.7 per cent,
liberal-far left; and 60 per cent, .. middle

WhUe "makina ·money" was an importailt consideration in their attending
collep, most U/B freshmen decided on

and "prepare for paduate 5cbool (55.3).
Only .about 30 per cent of UIB freshmen
went to dege because "my parents

Twenty-six per cent of the 19lKI freshmen had high -scbool grade averages of
90 or above and 6S per cent had averages of 80 or better. The mean high school

entering U/ B were attracted by low tui tion and the university's special programs. Nationally, only 17 per cent of
students felt low tuition rates were very
important. About 10 per cent of U/ B
freshmen were influenced by others who
had attended here.
Nine per cent of the freshmen came
here because they "wanted to live at

percentage was just over 2 per cent.
Only 3 per cent of frosh are here
because they weren't accepted anywhere
else. Ten per cent of the freshmen
applied only here, )Nhile approximately
one-&lt;juarter of the beginning students at
our peer institutions applied only to the
college where they eventually enrolled.
Sixty-four per cent of freshmen plan
to receive at least a bachelor's degree
here. Twenty per cent think they will remain here for a master's. Forty per cent
plan to get ·a master's somewhere, well
above the national norm of 29.7 per cent
and a higher percentage than at our peer
schools. Just over a quarter of ·u!B
frosh plan to earn a Ph.D. or a terfninal

a battery of ied-flq political statements
with which freshmen can aaree or

issues bas been note!d for the past several
years.
For instance, freshmen here, at our

rights. Only about ~per cent natioually
and at our peer scbools think marijuana
should be legalized. Forty-seven per cent
of U/B freshmen feel grass should be

bent.
That tendency is reflected in other
areas where U/B students are iln' the

fair exchange

A group of fllur or fi¥e Urtiven;ity people, led by Walter Simpson of Rachel
Carson CoUege, confronted General
Dynamics. Corporation r~ruiten; in
Norton Hall Monday night. But it
wasn't like the 60s.
The " confrontation" consisted of a
quiet exchange of views on the propriety
of building submarines capable of
delivering nuclear warheads-something
which the Electric Boat Division of
General Dynamics unabashedly
specializes in. Simpson and the two
recruiten; ptesent were mutually respectful and listened to each other's views.
"We knew if we were too confrontational, we would tum off the very
students we were trying to reach," said
Simpson later.
As he emphasized in a handout to
those students, Simpson' and his
associates respect the students' desire to
make a decent future for themselves,
"to find employment that provides .. .a
decent living and an opporturtity to use
the scientific and engineering skills"
they have developed h~e.
But, at the same time, Simpson said,
he and his friends wanted to encourage
the young engineers to ask questions
"about the future of the human race and
the planet on which we live/'
By developing and producing nuclear
weapons such as the Trident submarine,
the group contended, comparties like
General Dynaiilics "have deteriorated"

The handout urged a freeze on new
nuclear weapons and a working commit.
ment to disarmament.
Weapons manufacturers such as
General Dynamics should convert to
civilian production, Simpson argued,
"putting their workers to work on
peace-oriented projects such as solar and
energy efficient technology, rapid transit, and the space effort."
He · contended that scientists and
engineers can contribute to the prevention of nuclear war by refusing to make
"their talents available to those who
would use them to make the instruments
of inassdestruction." He urged students
to ask Electric Boat what plan they have
to convert their weapons-producing
facilities "to meartingful, peaceful alternative production."

Men's suppon groups on campus are
nothing new. They have developed from
courses on men's issues which have been
offered by Tolstoy CoUege for the past
several years. Paskoff is an instructor in
that coUege, and it is Tolstoy which has

college is offering a course on "Changing Men's Roles." Tbe course examines
the patriarchy and its impact on men.
and strives for re-education where needed to change attitudes not only about
men's roles but also about sexism and
the inequality between men and women.
Also being taught this spring are "Men •s

a course in gay literature.
One of the more prominent results of
the emphasis on men's issues in Tolstoy
is the recently published book coauthored by former U/ 8 football player

Another kind of headline-grabbing '
men's issue with which the Center is concerned revolves around military veterans
exposed to toxic chemicals and drugs as
part of their tours of service. The Center
has made available its facilities to the
Concerned Veterans of Western New
York for that orgllrtizatiQO:s prl)gram of
dealing with Agent_Orange- cOntamination amorlg Vietnam vets as wdl as to a
group representing those wlio may have
been involved in the Navy's sulfa drug
testing program during World War II
(recenUy exP.,sed in a series in the Buffalo Evening News) . These are defmitdy
men's issues. says Paskoff, noting that
some Vietnam vets now f"md .. their
testicles falling orr· as a result of
chemical exposure.·
·
A workshop on Agent Orange contamination is seheduled as part of a spring conference-on men"'s issues. 1be Conference will also feature participation by
the controversial Herb Goldberg, a
California psychologist who is ao advisor to tbe National Free Men's Movement and has written two books on the
subject,Hazantr of Being Male and The
New Male.
Also on the bill will be a IJI'OUP of professional men who have taken the
somewhat unusual step or establishing a
men's CXl\)Peralive .located on a plot of
land in the Zoar Valley. These individuals arc attempting to carve out a
new way of living for men in groups and
hope eventually to make the cooperative
both self-supportins and self-sufficient.
Tbe'U/8 Men~s Center expects to enter
some sort of loose relationship with this
IJI'OUP .so the collective site can be used
for retreats and weekend conferences.

where men need help
and . where the Center hopes to be
helpful~o the devdopmeot of basic
surviVal stills, thin&amp;s as muodaoe as
leairtioa how to cook .and take·care of a
house.
.
What other specific problems can the
Men's Center be helpful in c:cinfronlin&amp;?
Ooe ·of the participaDis in a recent
support poup was a 60-)'QI'-dd man
whose wife liad recently died and Who
was lost and lonely ~thout her; he needed help in .sift!Piy aetting a &amp;riP oo his
life. 0t1ter issues and coocerns raoae

from considerations as basic as male .....
uality to the whole problem of devdopiog intimate relationships with others.
Some ·men need help in building wann
ties with their children. Others are incapable of handling violeoce and anger,
yet cannot really talk about it. Here.
Paskoff notes thaf while there are
several shelters in Buffalo for battered
wives. there is no _agency which attempts
to address the problems of the ones doing the battering. Men also face mid-life
crises, the challenges of single parenting.
the need to ustart over" after a divorce.
Job pressures cause problems and can
lead to any number of aberrations if not
openly dealt with.
Tbe Free Men's Movement contends
that it is tbe inabmty to deal with emotions which is the unifying thread among
various kinds of male problems, that
unless they come to terms with their feelings. many men will remain only
caricatures and 001 real people.
Chuck Piazza and N'tek Millemaci of
the Men's Center are offering a free Life
Workshop on "Eltploring Men's
Roles," Mondays from February 2
through March 23 from 5:30 to 7:30
p.m. This is yet an~ outreach
activity to bring in men from both the
campus and the community who would
like to share resources and strengths as
wdl as problems and conflicts.
Pta.. ror llle r.bt~
Although just now beginning. the Men's
Center has confident plans for its future.
It hopes someday to provide ongoing
education forums as frequently as once
or twice a month on issues such as
preventive medicine, tbc five types of
cancer most common in men, and birth
control. It wants to establish a VD
testing service to help alleviate a problem that is particularly rampant among
gay men. In &lt;act, says Paskoff, he would
like to see the Men's Center hand out
free p~opbylactics to anyone .who wants
them with no questions asked. Not only
would this be a needed service, he feels.
but it would also make a powerful statement about men's responsibility for
birth control.
The future of the Men's Center. of
COUJSC-, depends on fllDdin&amp;- Those
associated with it have to convince
others wbo control budgets that their
work· is essmtial·
But most of all, they have to convince
men that it's all right to burt, that it's
okay to need to reach out, that it's possi·
ble to "be fTee."

Assembly intern

Dance and poetry are making a joint
appearance here tonight. There'll be no
haggling over marquee billing, though,
or jockeying for the best stage position .
It seems the two are fond, if unusual,
partners.
At 8 p.m. in the U/ B Center Theatre,
and on weekends through March I, the
Zodiaque Dance Company will perform
new works by five resident
choreographers. The poetic twist comes
with · operuiig readin8s-On the SIU)le
prOgram..&gt;-Jiy rotating guesrartists from
the UIB English Department: Robert
Creeley, Max Wickert, Mac Hammond,
Anna Kay France, BiU Sylvester and
Carlene Polite. Some prose readings are
expected.
According to Linda Swiniuch, director of the 26-member Zodiaque Company, the response from the campus
writers has been "fantastic." Earlier this
week, .e ach writer saw a "run-through"
of the program before selecting
appropriate readings.
A single set, designed by Gvozdeo
Kopani, serves all four works, which
range from the rigidly geometric to the
gently lyrical. This blend of the "rigid

and the amorphous"-in Kopani's
words-is achieved with triangular
sloped platforms, painted green and
suggestive of mossy landscape. Also,
clear lucite panels with appliques of
bronzing powder hang from the ceiling.
The platforms are moved for each
dance; the panels, with their oriental
suggestiveness, remain in place.
'Some Ecboes'
The poetry link is perhaps clearest in
"Some Echoes," a work choreographed
by dance majors Mary Ritter and Anne
Marie Moylan. Set to music by jazz
bassist Sieve Swallow (who in tum
composed his music to poems by Robert
Creeley), it's the first piece for Moylan,
the second for Ritter. Before starting
their choreography, the two ~men
went to see Creeley, who encouraged
them to approach the subject in their
own way. "'He swept us off our feet.,"
they say.
The them&lt;i of '.' Some 'Echoes~te
Ritter and Moylan, is "the relationships
between people in a performing situation. The piece tries to preserve the
fraaile nature of a dance collective,
while ·not simultaneously recopizioa the
importance of · perfonnioa for an
audieDce. "lbey both liked the music on
the Sw&amp;llow album (H,__MU$k by

St~ S~w to ·poeru by Rt&gt;Mn
David Mullet, a candidate for _a _Ph:D.

In "Some Echoes," dancers frequently position themselves in terms of
the green platforms; they swivel, jerk
their heads, arch their backs, flex their
feet. They also use each other' s bodies
for positioning, without , however,
touching. A dancer runs throu&amp;h
carrying a silver pinwheel. A strange
chorus line suddenly appears (dancers
covered with a single white sheet), wailing disconcertingly. It looks like an
undulating choo-choo train.
At the end of the piece, the audience
hears the recorded voice of Sbelia
Jordan singing lines from Creeley's
"Midnight," but o.nly after a protracted
piano part in the highest octave, accompanied by low bass chords. The poetry is
chiseled and direct; the music sounds
vaguely atonal. The -dancers become a
human chajn, bunched up at each juncture, except for one link where a dancer
is pulled by the others, her body taut and
flexed.
Swallow set his music to specific
poems by Creeley, but Ritter and
Molyan "do not expect him" to read
these same poems tonight.

'WlHIIeld'
"Windfield," by company director
Swiniuch, is danced without music,
except for traditional Japanese music
heard at the beginning and end of the
piece. According to Swiniuch, the piece
had many beginnings: her love for the
title of a poem ("Windfield") and
various Chinese and Japanese poems in
her private collection, which, however.
are u not referred to literally" in the
dance. One line from an oriental poem
was particularly affecting: " A thousand
years have whirled away in wind."
Swiniuch adds that each dancer has been
"assigned a. characteristic: joy, pain,
envy, love, fear, loneliness, peace, anger
and the 'traveler.' " This is not explained _in program notes, though , for fear of
making things too pat for the audience.
There may be no music in most of
"Windf~eld," but the dancers don't
really dance alone, says Swiniuch. As
the music fades, a fan is turned on,
creating a droning summertime whiz.
The wind flaps the clear vinyl cloaks and
hoods worn by the-dancers over colored
leotards. Wbeo, at the end of the piece,
the fans are turned off,. the Japanese
music returns. All the dancers are twirlina,_ some in half-time to the others.

Ralabatc's "Search" is intensely
rhythmic and slightly spoofy; dancers
wear green leotards and helmets.
Ralabate, who choreographed his work
to music of Cerrone and Jan Hammer,
says he has been interested for two years
in "doing something in a military
mode." Don't expect any anu-.military
sennonettes. though. Ralabate says be
simply wanted "to explore the connie!
between desire to attain perfection and
peace and the reality that constantly
holds both beyond reach." The young
choreographer also wanted "to show the
dancers breaking away from the
regimentation ... to show the cootrasl."
This occurs in a iniddle section of considerable lyricism.
The beginning and end sections of
"Search" are especially catchy with
brusque chorus lines of benign
hangmen. They hit an outstretched hand
with an opposite clencbed fiSt, roll on .
the floor or pace themselves in wildly
controUed fashion. At one point, six
dancers form a resirnented row team,
looking like preppies in ominous
clothing.
.
Reading tomorrow night will be Max
Wickert, poet, opera scholar and author
of A/liM Weitlol of IM Still Midnitht,
a collection of poems. Creeley gives
another reading on Saturday. On Sunday, Anna Kay France, actress and
associate professor in both Theatre and
English, will give the opening reading.
See upcoming Rrporter calendars for
details on later readings.
All performances are at 8 p.m ., except
for Sunday when they begin at 3 p.m.

UUP opposes
planned cuts in
tuition waivers
The · statewide Delegate Assembly of
United University Professions-its
highest policy-making body-went on
_ record last weekend opposina cutsjn_tuition waivers for foreign and out-of-state
students.
·
The resolution, forwarded by UIB
English Professor Tom Connolly, was
unanimously approved by representatives from 32 campuses, noted Bill
Allen, president of UUP's Buffalo
Center Chapter. The unanimity is
siguificant, Allen explained, because tuition waiver cuts affect only university
centers.
Also - approved were: a resolution
which called for a type of "GI Bill" for
workers displaced by new technologies,
another that opposed hiring of new
faculty during a retrenchment ·mode.
and third, one that took a stand against
use of academic planning for retrenchment purposes.
Since the aim of the "GI Bill" resolution is to affect national policy regarding
funds for reeducation -of displaced
employees, Allen said it will be sent to
NYSUT, AFT and the AFL-CIO for a
vote. The idea has received some bipartisan support amona government officials, relayed Allen, because it would
keep welfare rolls from swelli~g as well
as permit industry to modet111tt to remain competitive in the marketplace.
Regarding the proposed SUNY
budget, Allen said he would meet next
week with other chapter presidents to
discuss its impact and possible strategies
for modification. In addition, a fiveperson lobby teain beaded by U/B
pblitical scientist Pau11&gt;iesina will travel

Picking up a mandolin which he built,
Hamilton said that this member of the
lute family "is basically a dead ilutrument" in terms of bluegrass sound.
Because of the threat of being over·

passing, Hamilton said that he doesn' t
use the neapolitan mandolin a Ia the ride

· met here to diocuss the SALT treaty at a
prop-am orpnized by James Lawler of
the Qepartment of Philosophy.
Since then, SALT bas been attacked
as a "live-away" to the Russians, compromised, and finally _ discarded
altogether by the Reaaan administration. Today, Lawler sees the SALT treaty as the victim of U .S. multinational
corporations and industries tied to the
military.
Tbe issue of disarmament and detente
is an important o ne, Lawler said, pointing to the inclusion of sessions on disarmament at the recent AAAS conference
in TorqAto as evidence of growing
public coacern. He spoke on the issue at
a program orpniz.ed by the Dialectics
Workshop of New York City.
"It was clear in I m that there had
been an important shift in U.S. policy
regarding detente," Lawler said .
"Carter bad been elected on a prodetente platform, but right after the
election there • was a lot of playing
around with the SALT treaty."
In Toronto, Lawles- "analyzed and
critigzed two· main UJUllleDlS given by
the U.S. government to uphold the-notion that the Soviet Union bas broken

200 Vietnam vets
IJ.eing te~ted for
Agent Orange damage
Two hundred Vietnam veterans are being tested by a U/ B physician to determine if they have measurable nerve
damage which could be linked to exposure to Agent Orange.
The chemical defoliant, one of several
berliicides used in Vietnam, has been the
focus of protests by veterans groups who
charge it has caused health problems in
those exposed to it.
· Dr. Stephen Barron, a U/ B assistant
professor of neurology and director of
the Buffalo Veterans Administration
Medical Center EMG Laboratory, says
the study will involve conduction velocity tests on 100 vets who have reported
tingli ng in feet and legs and 100 others
with no reported symptoms.
An electrical stimulus wi ll be applied
to the calves of participants' legs to
measure conduction at the sural and
perjneal nerves which are known to be
most sensitiVe to neurological changes .
Conduction velocities o f 40 or more
metersj)f!r second are indicative of nor~
mal conduction. Damage is indicated at
36 meters or less.
At the end of the study next year,
nerve conduction velocities of both
grou ps will be compared to determine if
vetera ns wit h tower cond uctio n
velocities are those who complained of
tingling.

neurological damage.
' 'It may be that minute traces of dioxin, persisting in the body at levels too
small to measure, are damaging the
myelin or some other element of the
nerve, or that some veterans, were more
susceptible to the effects of dioxin than '
others for unknown reasons or because
they received larger doses of it," he explains.
Or it may later be shown that
chlorinated compounds, not tbe dioxin,
were responsible.
Each partici pant in the study will'
complete a questionnaire on past and
current jobs held as well as on smoking
and drinking habits, and a general
medical history. Barron hopes to be able
to rule out other factors which might be
responsible for the veterans' symptoms.
Diabetics have been excluded .
The project is being conducted in conjunction with the BVAMC Agent
Orange Clinic directed by Dr. Israel
Alvarez.

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

He noted that many fa.:ulty object to

Fmally, be said, studies indicate that a

Senate
Executive Committee grapples with
_where Libraries should report,
approves Martin Luther King event
After a lenathY cllocuaiOD over tbe ef·
fects of tbe upc:ooidJII c:hanae in report·
ina procedures for UDMnity Libraries,
tbe S...te Executive Committee last
week YOted to poc!pODC a .vote OD a
resolution wbicb would bave pul them
on record as fmnl)' oppoaina it.
· The resolution, UIWiimously supported by 101DC poupa in tbe Ubrari&lt;!s,
includina their Executive Committee,
was preseDted by librarian Dorothy
Woocbon. II essentially asked the Com·
mittee to recommend that the director of
Univenity Libraries continue to report
directly to tbe President instead of to the
yet-to-1»-namcd Vice Presideol for Ad-

ministrative Services.
As Woodson had explained at the
previous meetina, when abe was cut
short because of time, tbe vast m.;ority
of librarian&amp;, as well as Saktidu Roy,
clirecrtor, fed that reportina to tbe new
VP (wbo would also be responsible for
sucb areas as Computina Services and
MR) would further .remove them from
tbe academic arena, IUidennine their
statui as contn'butina faculty and force ·
them to operate in a .. reactive mode."
President Robert Ketter told the
gro_up that he feels the resolution was
"put forth with the best of intentions"
and that he realizes the Libraries are
"central" to the mission and operation
f.f the University. Still, he continued, the
decision was a "personal" one. and one
which he.feels in the long run will benefit
them.
·
·
•
Not dep1ldllla, •ys ll:ettor
Ketter said tbe former reportina procedure "wam't COIIVftient or profitable" and, in hia estimation, tbe
chanae is not "~" •
The Presideot aJio Doted that tbe
Health Sciences ''will oot tolerate" lhe
Libraries beina placed UDder aole
authority of tbe VPAA, and that be
••couldo't justify" puttina tbe Libraries ·
din:ctor at a vice praidellliaJ Jew~.
lf bis office kCIOII&amp; rapouibility, for
tbe Libraries, Ketter warDed, they
would, because of bia oth. prOSiiJII
duties, receive "Jess atuution" than
they would UDCieF tbe new VP.
Senator Tom Cotmolly !ben suaated
that tbe President COIIIidtt dividiaa tbe
line authority and ldtina tbe VPHS and
tbe VP AA be resp01111cle for their
respective aeaments.
Respoodilll, Ketter pointed out that
this solution would be coatly since it
would involve "undDO duplic:atioD" of
aervices .. well as encourqe other
University libraries, lilte the Law
School'&amp;, to leave tbe ..-at system. He
alao alerted tbe Committee, !hal with a
split, Health Scieaces would COIIlDWid a
much larJer piece of tbe budaet.
,

ed for the ·uniYCnlty to offteiaJJy
recoaniz.e tbe lrirtbday 4f Dr. Martin
Luther Kina. Jr. It aJao uked that t1iae
be continued "lawful efforts" to ap.
prebend thoae raponslble for recent
violent acts apinst -"en of tbe
blact community; that tbe Univenily
take a ltaDd of "UIICOIII]II"OII opposition" apinll exiJaliiat poupa like
the ICKK and tbe oeo-Nazis, and tbe inc:reuina amount of "hale literature"
and "racialalun" eviclenced in tbe area;
thai the Univenity make a "realfirma.
tion of and agreaive commlt-.t
beyond words, to tbe ~tation of
a meani.naful, fair and JUSt affirmative
actinn propam at Ill lewis."
While not disqreeina in Jlrio!:jple
with tbe mcanina of the. resolution, a
scatterina of Senators questioned the ad·
visability of issuina the state-.!.
TooiOif~T

Some members fdt it sounded ''too self.

that hadn't been said before by others.
Otben thouabt certain ...,..,ts of tbe
Buffalo community, ' like law eoforcemeot offJCOrs, could be offeoded by the
implicatioo !hit Dot eoouab has been
done to apprdlend tbe criminals and
that even more publicity and attention

behavior. AIIOlher .issue raised wu that

Colleges solve problem
of dealing rationally
with cuts, dean reports
The Colleta have solved a problem fair·
ly and in a forward-Jookina manner,
Dean Murray Schwartz said after a
meetina of the Plannina and Budget
Committee last Thursday.
At that meetina, Schwartz reported,
the panel voted 7~ (with two abstentions) on a specif'lc set of "compensations" for cuts made in the budgets of
Cora P. Malooey ·and Women's Studies
CoUeges (RqKJrter, January 22 and 29).
These are not, however, '"reversals" of
~ecisions to cut, Schwanz emphaThe CoUegiate Council had voted 6-2
the previous Thursday (Jan. 22) to ask
Schwartz for partial restoration of cuts
assessed tbe two coUeaes.
The dean's position was that since the
slashes bad been assessed in late
December foUowing principles arrived at
by the budget and planning pand and
approved by the Council, they
represented a "coUective agreement" he
could not reverse unilaterally. "It was
something I hadn't done alone," he explained.
He felt obligated to take the Council's
resolution to the budget committee so it
could be discussed as pan of the larger
question of absorbing a reduction of
$75,000. Within this framework,
Schwartz said, it becomes obvious that
the cuts which have been imposed are
"more democratic than may first appear."

Two · ~peaatiolll ' adt
The "compensations" which each college reCeived as a result of last
Thursday's actions were twofold,

Turning to anotber is5ue raised last week
in a Reporter interview with Women's
Studies CoUege, Schwartz emphasized
that his cancellation of the "Black and
Female" course this semester bad
nothing to do with the content of the
course, but resulted •imply from
Women's Studies' failure to provide appropriate information about an instructor which he bad requested some months
earlier.
Schwartz said that be bad sugested
more than one way around the diffiCulty
to the leaders of the collqe.
Wben additional materlal on the instructor's credentials was requested last
faU , Women's Studies bad forwarded to
the dean an extract of some IS written
pages which consisted of a short introduction by the instructor (Lucy
Burney) and pieces written by students
concerning their views on abortion an&lt;l
other is5ues covered in tbe course. This
material failed to answer Schwartz's
questions about the instructor's credentials, he said. But be sugested another
tack.
Schwanz asked tbe Colleae to have
Buroey write an open letter in which she
would detail what sbe bas devdoped for
the course over the past seven years, bow
she bas conducted it, and )What others
around tbe country can Jearn from it.
Schwartz also requested a copy of the
entire 2»-page document from which
the IS pqes of material bad been extracted. Short of ,.a:ivina tbia information, the dean notified Women's
Studies, be would ba"Ve to conclude that
the.instructor was not qualifjed. But, be
offered, if Wlllllell's .Studies coukl-provide another insuuctor for tbe spring
seme5ter while tbe question of Burney's
credentials was being pursued, be would
continue to support tbe coune.
Schwartz did not recei"¥e the information, so tbe day bifore students bepn to
enroU, be inquired of Women's Studies
if they bad a new instructor; their
response was they did.indeed have an instructor-Lucy Burney. The dean
cancelled tbe class.
In later conversations with two
students and with Burney herself,
Schwartz became convinced that tbe
precise reasons for his-action may have
been misinterpreted by Women's
Studies. He feels encouraaed
that
Burney may be wining to submit tbe information be bas requested and that tbe
matter can be resolved in tbe near
future.
The issue bas nothing to do with
anything but the normal processes of !be
CoiJeae, tbe dean CDIJ"'asizrd. Since be
bas been dean be bas insisted on bavina
on file complete credentials for aD
teachers. This was aD lie bail asked for in
the case of Burney.

Mesl!bo&amp; plauiJo&amp; wl.. btodcet
Wharton noted that the specificity of
cuts ill this bud&amp;et ("The Division of tbe
Budaet seems to have tbe insight of an
exploratory suraeon. ") is peripheral in
the sense of interferiDg witb and taking
away from the University' its prograio
planning prerogatives. But be again

protest loss of journal,
are dismayed about future

Elllter.
AI paduale llllldents in the Philosopby
Deputment we are alarmed aDd auacred
by the lou of our Department's
pratiaious journal, Pllilosoplr;y alld
P~(4ictll Rnemclt, to Brown
University. We fed that this is not.
simply a matter ofpuocbial interest for
the Philosopby Department. AI far as
we c:an ddermine,.the lou of PPR is not
due to any forces external to the Univer.
sity, e.J., State budaet comtraints or the
prestiJe of the oew editor of the journal.
The I'QSOII for the lou of PPR seems to
be poor judsement and plain
misiii&amp;II&amp;JCDICilt on tlie part of the
Univenity Administration.
The journal was founded at this
Univenity 40 years qo by the late
I&gt;istinsllishcd Pr9fessor Marvin Farber.
The journal is read in more than 60
countries and is considered one of the
premier journals in philosopby, PPR
bas published many important articles
by wdl·known tbinken, such as Ernst
Cassirer and Alfred Tarski. The journal
bas contributed sisnifiC&amp;Iltly to the
reputation of our Department-indeed,
some of use have come to study in this

~~R~ofour~
Naturally :we aie dismayed at what its
loss will mean to the future of this
Department. However, we are even
more dismayed by the fact that this loss
seems ~o be due solely to AdminiStrative
' ineptitude,

Item: PPR was lost to this Univenity
because the. Administration. tiftrr ftllr.t
m011tlr.s of ~~qotiatiolt. :would not promise a salary line of $12,000 for the
journal's editorial assistant.

Item: Professor Farber stroDJiy
desired that the joumal remain at UIB
aDd only moved it to insure its cootiaued
Cllistence.

Item: Brown University, well·
informed about tbe ~of PPR,
settled its neaotialions With Professor
Farber in a matter of weeks.
Item: The Univenity received 140
journal auboaiptioas in ~ for
subaeriptioos to PPR. Many of these

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

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

U/B can aid, Ketter says

Engineers in an address on the
••Education-Industry Connection ,''
Monday night.

In this en of uncertainty in hi!ber
education, Ketter said, some educational
spokespersons may be tempted to cuny
community support with euggerated
promises. "Specifieally, with reprd to
tonight's topic," be said, "it would be
easy for me to say that revitalization of
Western New York will be a direct consequence of a determined effort on the
part of the University at Buffalo.
-Nothing could be further from the
truth ...
Higher education can be a partner,
Ketter suggested. It can be a valuable
resource. "Yet the policy and IIUIIIllllement decisions that can lead to the
desired revitalization will not be made
by or on the campus. They will be made
by government and in the board rooms
of business and industry." ·
U/B can propose and weigh alternatives and options, discover and
assimilate scientific and technical
knowledge, and produce a broadly
educated and highly specia.lized .
citizenry. But decisions to mate the
most effective use of these products lie
' elsewhere, the President emphasized.
"The University will serve acccording
to its academic interests and abilities."

The Colleies are "retrenching." Dean

"I doa'llmow what else you'd call it

Schwio.rtz said.

-The future of Cora P . Maloney Collese, the deap went on, may be in a blendin&amp; of its efforts with other academic
and service programs for minorit y
students. -CPM's charter is now being
rewriuen with an eye toward using the
Collese as a focus for services provided
through a range of existing programs:
the Educational Opportunity Program,
Black Studies, the Learning Center, and
the Housing Office. Coordinating what
these agencies are doing. Scbwartz submilS, means all of them would be
stronger-an important consideration,
he feels, in a time of threatened funding
for minority programs.
The Colleses have a mandate to serve
minority populations jeopardized by
budget cuts in governmental programs
and slashes elsewhere in the University,
Schwartz said . Programs for women and
for foreign students (in Women's
Studies and International Colleges
respectively) thus deserve speeial consideration, too, he feels.
The Colleges played a similar
protective-nurturing role for traditional
.education durin&amp; the recent era in which
relevance was a dominant consideration
in funding decisions. For years, Vico
Collese was, as one faculty member put
it, "the token book collese. " Now with
the new emphasis on general education,
Vico has quietly disappeared, although
many of its former faculty are as active
as ever in their home departments.

Patients whOse kidneys cannot normally remove the wastes which accumulate in the body must have their
blood artif"lcially dialyzed resularly, a
time-a&gt;osumina and costly process.
The new Continuous Ambulatory
Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPO) method
allows patients to dialyze lhemsdves virtually ,anywhere, any time, over a period
of hours without having to be confmed
to bed or macltines. CAPO is beina
evaluated at a number of centers nationally, includina the Buffalo VA
Medical Center (VAM C) and Erie County Medical Center to determine both
short and long-term effectiveness.

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

BY LINDA GRACE-I:OBAS

The issue, of sexual harassment in &lt;he
workplace and in the classroom, long

woman's imqination or something she
would just have to learn to tolerate, has
finally emeracCI as a legitimate form of
sex clisc:rimination subject .to legal I!Dd

serve a pleasant pastime in a lonely hour
when body and spirit are wearied with
the daily routine of life."
Texts collected, too
To help him fully understand references
to · the lectUTes conducted during the
medical course, Dr. Jones bas assembled
also, from the HIOalth Sciences Libraries'
Rare Book CoDection, 34 of the texts
recommended to students in the 1848-49
course.
.
Using the tools he developed during
40 years of teaching anatomy, Dr. Jones
has not only read an4 analyzed the
diary, but has dissected it, systematicaDy
cataloging 100tries under such headings
as weather, civic events, rec:reation, the
medical school and the faculty. About
the faculty, diarist HiU made a 'total of
326 entries. Jones mined these for both
favorable and derogatory remarks as
well as p:~ore general comments, noting
that Professors White and Hamilton
were thoroughly disliked by t1Je student,
while some of the others ¢uld do ob
wrong in his view. About the
distinguilbed Dr. Austin Flint, HiU was
ambivalent, striking a balance between
favorable and unfavorable entries,
although be grew more restless with the
famous Flint as the course wore on.

School were parties to body snatching,
in order to provide practical demonstrations in anatomy to students. Jones has
pieced togl&gt;tber this story in an article
caDed " Confessions of Three Grave
RobberS" which Will appear in a forthcoming !Juf/a/o PhysiciDn. The article
recounts that an early demonstrator of
anatomy who left here to take a similar
post in Michigan was behind a graverobbing ring which operated in Western
New York and shipped bodies to Ann
Arpor.
U/B itself also secUTed bodies through
illegal channels, unobtrusively importing cadavers from New York City.
. R..cords indicate that the bodies were
shipped via Wells-Fargo in barrels labeled "pickles" and cost the Medical
School $10 each. All this was carried out
v~&gt;ry discreetly, to be sure, but r..cords
were kept-to be stilmbled across more
than 100 years later when former acting
Med School Dean Bob Brown and Jones
recovered the materials in Capen.

Dr. Jones, wbo is going on 75, finds
that poring over the diary and preparing
his articles help keep him busy during his
rl&gt;tirement, a portion of which he has
also devoted to writing a history of the

A 51ro1t&amp; poiat
That's one of the magazine's strons
points, offers Capozzi. It routinely
presc:nts opposing, side-by-side commentaries on issues such as abortion and
the preside~~tial election. The Current
also indulges in the verbatim Q and A interview format. Subjects for these have
been as diverse as campus conservative
Marvin Zimmerman and perennial activist Elwin Powell. That range gives
credence to editor Luba"s confes$ion
that vicious political debates have often
erupted within the confmes of 307
Squire. Gossip points to tensions between Luba and Capozzi (whose writing
styles and interests seem widely
divirgent). Luba has a tough, nononsense styk whkh sometimes turns to
sportS themes; Capozzi seems more
drawn to issues and approaches analyses
more subtly. Perhaps a useful combination.
For the future-and The Current does

I merely want to make clear an error

comparison between the French educational system- and the American one.

What I said about both systems was true
for the most part, qut I remember that I
didn't jump to such I' surprising conclusion that: Because of the more casual

their teachers," maybe by _rush or by
mutual miscomprebeosion unless sbe did
it on purpose. Therefore, i don't accept
this daring comparison of the interdiscussion-oriented atmosphere at Fronviewer because she is supposed to know

of sexual harassment to the auention of
University offiCials is on the individual
who is subjected to it, Agostini noted.
"There is no office on campus that
will go on a (IShing expedition to find
cases of harassment," be said, " but any
complaint will be investigated."
Asostini doesn't expect that complaints will be made out of frivolousness
or pique.
"We want to .stress that the courts
have, in discrimination cases found to be
frivolous, mlde the plaintiffs pay costs
and damages," he said. "We will look at
each case individually. The procedure
only calls for a reasonable basis of proof."

pointed out there is mons

evideDce that lellual harassment aists •

on tbil campus, tbou&amp;b the extent ofit is
not known. Crisis Counseling Services, a
community mental healtb program, bas
reported receivins a number of calls
from people on tbil campus who say
they have bcea Jel&lt;ltally barassed.
Reportedly, most of the ~are from
male lllldeals facins ~~ from
male profeaoa.
Rosalyn Wilkinson, IIWI8&amp;er of
human resources training aDd devdopment, said sbe does oot fed tbil is
ddiaitive evideDce that males are harassed more of!Cu tbllll females .,
"It may be because males are less used
to copina with KXual harassment,'' she

said.

Men slwwld be careful about the types
of remarks they mate to women in professional or academic settings, Unger
said.
"Some men do say they are just teasing," sh~ noted, "but if that means teasins a woman about her walk, whistling
at her, matins lewd remarks about any
part of her physical being theA, yes,
that's the son of thing the guidelines arc
melllll to ball.
"TbesC actions mate it difficult for
women to function .in the workplace,"
she added. "It's not treatment that men
are subjected to. You don't hear men
referrina to other men's tisbt pants, or
pattins them."

Jn•ary lellioa
Agostini emphasized that sessions will
·be held beginning in January to KI)Sitize
administrators and supervisors to the
problem of sexual harassment.
" The University as eft1Pioyer has a
responsibility to do so,'' he said, noting
that supervisors must be aware of their
roles in preventing the problem. "If a
person goes to her su~. informs
him or her of harassment by a co-worker
and the supervisor fails _to take
reasonable action to prevent it, the
University is liable. 1be supervisor, alllo,
can be sanctioned for violatins ooe of
the policies of the University."

the workshops, said that by building

If a penon is subjected to sexual harassment, there are two positive courses of
action that caa be taken, Agostini said.
"Tbe (IJ'It is wben you Wlllll to deal

Aaostil!i added that it's hoped that

"In FQCn1, three forms of sexual
baraameat i:ome to .mind,.. Asostini
said. "A hard eumple is direct solicita·
lion, where sexual favors are to be given
for some award. More indirect is a case
where there is, for eumple, a promotion
ava{lable in llll offiCe aDd a supervisor
invites a female to bil.'bacbdor pld' to
'discuss the promotion.'
"Tbe third eumple involves a workin&amp; eavironment where slurs are used,
where remarks are made whidl have to
do with a female's pllysic:al attributes
aDd with KXual innuendoes," he continued

.

uaaer i'emarted, "where the man sub- ,

careaina·aesturrs. ,,

This type of atmospbei't does fall
within tbe def'lnition of sexual harass·
ment, Agostini pointed out, because
even thou8b favors premised on job
awards are not solicited, llll "uasuitable
worldns environment" is created.

The editor of the "Journal of lmmunopbarmacolosy," Reynard eq&gt;lailied that this kind of speciooaction will be
obtained from new drup now in
development and from refmements in
drugs already in use.
There is areater' understaoding today
of bow the body's defense system

regulated by drugs, be said, primarily
because of mushrooming knowledge in
the fiCid of immunolo,gy. For eumple,
· many drup used to treat rh!iiJmWoid
arthritis, syllCmic lupus ~
(SLE), allerJies, uthma and cancer act
on the body's immune system.
"While these drup obviously have.
beoefic:ial effects because oftbeir action
on one part of tbe system, they carry
varyina degrees and numbers of bad side
effects on other parts," Reynard
pointed out.

or

As is true of other drup, the severity
of these· undesirable side effects is
usually dose- and duration-related.
Obviously, Reynard said, "the best
answer would be development of new
drup or refinement of old ones' which
have specifiC, desirable action on one or
more selected parts of the immune
system which can aid in lle,abnent or the
partic:ular medical condition."
More conc:entrated research in the
gro~ field of immunop~~
increases odds that future patients wtth
arthritis, for instance, can be treated
with dup "!'hich have only beneficial effects on the immune system and t~
healing process.

~l\AAS) in Toronto Jast week'(January
~)-

. " So interconnected are basic and ap\llied programs thai now they will be
h'lmdled in tandem by NSF," he said.
"'There will be no more separate
~tegories for programs in the engineeriris and applied sciences.
"l!ngioeerinJ today embraces highly
t;heoretical to· very practical areas,''
Slaughter cootinued. "Engineers are as
concerned with the devdopment of new

Slaughter said. Basic research will continue to get the bulk of NSF resources,
he promised.

"These new moves will make the Foundation structure much more agile in
meeting the needs of engineering.'' he
stated, " and will provide a mutual reinforcement between basic and applied

NSF is encouraging the submission of

Slaughter said, adding that in order to

" more aggressive" in management and
planning.
"We need to CllSUfC that our scientific
and technological enterprise is led by the

In addition. opponunities for science

who are still under-represented in the
sciences, Slaughter said. "We need real affinnative action, not
just a numbers game. We need all the

Need to reillfortt skills
Another urgent need, Slaughter pointed
out, is to "reinforce science and math
education in our secondary schools, with
an emphasis on basic skills."
He noted that only about one-third of
the nation's high schools require more
than one year of science and math for
graduation, while coll~~d universities have similarly Io 7 .,. these requirements.
Tbe fact that some students no longer
take science or math courses after tenth

Slrlllful writing, directing, and acting
can make issues which are peripheral to
everyday life become 'larger-than-life'
and effectively bring home an awareness
to an individual which was previously
obscured. Good theatre can plant seeds
in the fertile imaginations of all of us."
"(The:. play) allows one to view, in a
non'threatening way, a concept and how
it affects those involved."
Dr. Barbara A. Putnam of the
Department of Counseling and Human
Services~ Faculty of Educational
Studies, with the assistance of Barbara
Hays of Studio Arena Theatre, .arranged
for students to attend the play as a way
to meet one of the instructional objecLives for the course. That specific objective was, "assisting _beginning
counselors to develop a better
understanding of the influence of work
in the lives of clients," specifically
women.
"Studio Arena Theatre," Dr. Putnam
said, " provides educators with the opportunity to incorporate the theatrical
experience into their classroom curriculum. A play provides an invaluable
means of brinBmg to life literature,
mythology, history, legend and heritage
. in a vital and lasting way. It offers a way
to see through the eyes and perceptions
of another person, a prerequisite to
sound interpersonal relationships."
Studio Arena opened its 1980-81
season with the world premiere of Mark
Berman's "Lady of the Diamond."
"I'm not a playmate, I'm a teammate,"
said Connie Weaver, the play's heroine.
the first woman Lo join major league
baseball . The drama looked at the world
of baseball, personal fulfillment and
team relationships, on .and off the field.
Students in vocational development
theory are the most effective evaluators
of how the play met class objectives,
pointed out Dr. Putnam as she reeled off
other comments from them:
"I felt that the play was very
beneficial. I gained a better understan·
ding of what it is to be a person trying to
get into an area of employment which is
generally seen to be inappropriate for
them because of their physical attributes."
' "A well-written play, with good acting and production can often teach
more than a semester's course work .,.
"My feeling was that the play provided 'Ill excellent vehicle to shed some light
on societal attitudes towards the aspirations of women in terms of career
choices. It provided much food for
thought and generated a great deal of
discussion between classmates. ll was a
most worthwhile experience and in my
opinion, educationally sound. It proved
informative in and of itself, but more
important, a forum was provided to encourage free thought and discussion."

play as P.,rt of their coursework, may

Brownell wilh wife Jacquelyn

Amputee receives
award for determination

A 31-year-old amputee who attends
night school has received a special award
for his determination to continue his
education in the face of adversity.
Dennis Brownell of Eden, the father
of two young children, received the Lorraine Saban Memorial Award for nontraditional U/ B students at a breakfast
ceremony January 9 in the Charles
Room of Squire Hall.
Brownell, who lost his left leg in an industrial accident in 1973 while employed
at an area steel 'plant, has been attending
Millard Fillmore College on a part-time
basis since September, 1978, in his quest
for a master•s in the social sciences. He
expects to graduate this spring.

The Saban award. given for the first
time two years ago. was established in
memory of the late Lorraine Saban, who
served as a graduate assistant at the U/ B
Adult Advisement Center. A legacy
from Mrs. Saban, wife of former Buf·
falo Bills' football coach Lou Saban,
and contributions from her friends and
colleagues enabled the Advisement
Center and the U/ B Foundation to set
up the award. Mrs. Saban herself
became a UIB graduate student in J ater
life.
Brownell, who depends on an artificial limb for mobility and shuns the
use of crutches or other walking aids,
earned a bachelor's degree in psychology
here in 1975, two years after his accident. He previously had received a twoyear associate in science degree at
Genesee Community College, Batavia.
In 1976, Brownell returned to the steel)
plant where the accident occurred llf

T......,_

take on an office job in personnel
testing. But that job ended in I 9'n when
the Personnel Testing Department was
closed in a retrenchment move attributed to competition from foreign
steel ' imports. Brownell subsequently
enrolled in the Federal Trade Readjust- .
men! Assistance Program, enabling him
to pursue his master's in MFC.
Brownell currently is employed as a
district manager for Spectrum Applica·
tions in Cheektowaga. a building indu stry contractor specializing in
refinishing aluminum siding. The work
is confined to about eight months a year,
Brownell explained, giving him additional time during the winter months to
study.
His goal is to eventually obtain
employment in the field of personnel
work and labor relations.
The Saban award, as explained by
Mrs. Margaret Nevin, director of the
U/ B Adult Advisement Center, consists

Design students· cre_ate·
playthings for children
BY ANN WHITCHER
At U/B's Early Childhood Research
Center, play's the thing, especially for
four School of Architecture and Environmental Design students who recently created imaginative playthings for the
Center's 82 toddlers and infants.
Before starting their plans last fall, the
~tudents, members of John S. Bis'
"Studio in Physical Environment"
class, first met with Center Director Dr.
Christine Z, &lt;;ataldo and her staff to
learn more about problems faeed in
child care. Participating students were
. Douglas Gawoski, Charles Vizzini, Beth
Warner and Lee Williams.
The SAED-Center . project has been
ongoing for oeveral years; the idea is to
simulate the architect-client relationship
and to give SAED students an opportunity to design. for specific needs and
constituencies.
Clllldrea need privacy
One problem. faeed by Center staff,
Cataldo told the group, is the lack of
priftcy in most daycare situations.
Children are often "over-stimulated,''
sbe says. Even the tiniest tot needs a
quiet moment or two alone.
- To help ensure privacy, one student
designed a colorful three-part screen;
behind it are a tent and two reclining
sponge chairs. (fhe screen, covered with
youthful artwork, is for the older
· children only.) Not only can the little
ones enjoy some privacy, but "it's also a
help for teachers and researchers who
want to talk with a child without having
to leave the room," Cataldo commCnts.
Screens in daycare centers are nothing
new, she says. But most are "tippy,"
"unsafe" and function more as barriers
than anything else. Not so with the
SAED effort, which Cataldo terms
"very attractive."
Another problem' faced by Center
staffers is that older children occasionally become "over-enthusiastic" while
playing near the ipfants. How to protect
them, then, while not isolating them
from the older children, became the bi( '
gest concern.
As a solution to this somewhat vexing

problem, SAED students designed a 4' x
8' outdoor combination play structure
and walker for use on the Center's outdoor playground. The infants are thus
protected from any over-zealous play,
yet Bf~n't kept apart from all the fun.
On top or that, it's moveable.
Apart, yet.a part of things
Another playtbing is intended to keep
the infants (age three months-and up) in
the swing of things, yet give them a place
to look at mobiles and pull on simple exercise bars. Design students have creat.ed
a two-in-one structure that combines_a
toddler playhouse on the bon om with an
"infant playspace" on top; the latter has
a see-through mesh section.
In this way, says Cataldo, babies can
pull and grasp, set their eyes on colorful
mobiles, and still be near the older kids
who frolic in their " multi-function play
structure" below. The lower playspace
has windows - and a door (the
preschoolers love to play peek-a-boo ,
notes Cataldo) and three climbing rungs.
The two sections come apart.
· Cataldo, who is assistant professor of
elementary and remedial education in
the Faculty of Eclucational Studies,
reports favorable reaction among Center
youngsters to the SAED-designed
playthings now in use for several weeks.
(The screen isn't built yet.)
For his pan, Bis, who is acting chairman of design studies and an assistant
SAED professor, says he's "very pleas. ed" with the program: "It's a great
device, and it's really a great experience
for our students to deal directly with a
client." Bis and Cataldo have worked
together on similar projects for about
three years.
This recent project received a small
grant from Fisher-Price Toys, Inc. , of
East Aurora. The cost of labor, reports
Cataldo, was "partly contributed" by
two retired carpenters.
The Early Childhood Research Cen ter
at IS Baldy Hall is primarily a research
concern, although it does offe r programs for infants, toddlers and threeand four-year-old children . Ceqter staff
members also serve as consultants to 34
area schools and agencies.

Administratively and academically, the
Graduate Group in Semiotics, headed by
Dr. Paul Garvin, has hit the big time.
To claim administrative legitimacy,
Garvin smiles, you need a rubber stamp
and official stationery.
To carve out your own academic identify, a poster and a brochure are strictly
required .
The Semiotics Group, officially
recognized last April, boasts the complete quartet of essentials, Garvin
reported in an interview recently.
With these trappings in place, the
group is attracting a growing number of
facult y and graduate students, and is
beginning to make iLS presence known in
the relatively new world of Semiotics.
What it is
Semiotics is usually defined as the
scholarly stud y of signs and symbolic
behavior, Garvin relates. It is a rapidly
developing field gi:tining incr~asin R
recognitio n both through creation of
professional societies (such as the International Semiotic Association, the
Semiotic Society of America, the Canadian Semiotics Association) and by
establishment of programs of study (in
the United States, the best known programs are.those at Brown University, the
University of Colorado, and Indiana
University, which sponsors a Research
Center for Language and Semiotic
Studies).
Semiotics covers a number of
subareas, Garvin explains, the best
known of which are literary semiotics,
visual· semiotics (including the semiotics
or painting or or architecture),
philosophical semiotics (related to the
philosophy of languag_e), and semiotic
behavior (interaction and communication). A number of theoretical "orientations" have emerged, the best known
among them being a so-called French
School, the Slavic tradition (suggested
· by a group known as the Russian formalists), and fmally an American tradition (linked to the work of Charles
Sanders Peirce).
All of these subfields and approaches
are represented, to varying d~ees, at
U/B, Garvin says.

bears both French and English legends.
U/ B's semiotics ties with Canada, incidentally, are to be strengthened soon
by means of an exchange agreement with
the University of Quebec in Montreal
toward the realization of which letters of
intent have thus far been exchanged.
The initial agreement in all likelihood
will call for an exchange of grillqate
students for one semester each year,
reports Garvin, who recently returned
from lectures in both Ottawa and Montreal .
Another major stride for Garvin's
graduate group has been establishment
of a corps of off-campus associates,
semioticians from elsewhere in the U.S.
and abroad who have agreed to be
available to serve on doctoral committees and read doctoral disset:talio1ts by
students here. Participating scholars are
based in Berlin, Israel, Toronto, New
York City and at Indiana University.
This, says Garvin, recognizes the fact
that no one . university • 'covers
everything in the field," and provides a
means for local students to enrich and
expand their study experien~ .

Uaks with Toronto
"lbe stature of semiotics studies at U/B,
feels, bas been enhanced by the
fact that two graduate students have
held fellowships at the prestigious International Summer Institute for Structural
and Semiotics Studies in Toronto, and
by the election .o f Garvin himself as an
honorary member of the 1oronto
Semiotics Circle.
A graduate student at U/B cannot.
pursue a doctorate in semiotics as such,:
but he or she can develop a major con .
centration in the field as part of a doc
torate in more traditional academic:"
areas such as linguistics, anthropology,
modern languages, English 'and comparati\'.e literature.
Garvin cited two · semiotics dissertations in linguistics which have recently
been defended: one a literary semiotics
essay on Virgi!}ia..Woolf and another on
the structure of language and the structure or music.

that dlslrl&gt;ution of disease over time
and across geographic space is directly
related to a population's role in Its
ecosystem. The ecological approach,
applied to clinical, eplc!emiological, and
ethnographic data and.case studies, offers a new theoretical' framework lor
studying health problems . Nine
chapters cover ecological theory; Interdisciplinary research methods; the conCePt of adaptation ; evolving patterns of
birth , disease, and death; the ecology·
an'd economics of nutrition; nutrition

In most corporations, it is taken for
granted that the communication system
Is operating effectively. H asked about
the efficiency of their communication
set-up, managers would doubtless say
it's "tops," '+ 100~-or nearly so."
Yet, recent studies seem to tndkate
that 25%-50% effectiveness is an optimistically high assessment of the communlcations systems of most finns. An
appallingly low rate oll-5% is not un common!

The Job Seeking Guide makes this
task easier by Its step-by-step approach
to the search for employment. Every
aspect of seeking work is explained. It
teDs where to find jobs and who can

This volume contains the proceedings
of the F'dth Forum of the Unguistic
Association of canada and the Un~ed
States (LACUS), hosted by the State
University of New York at Bullalo,
August 9 to 13, 1978. The choice of
Bullalo was doubly appropriate because
of Its location on the U.S. - Canadian
border and between two of the Great
Lakes. In addltion to customary attendance from all parts of Canada and the
U.S., this Forum enjoyed increaSed
participation by European members of
the Association.
It Is LACUS policy to encourage all
theorellcal and methodQioglcal approaches Ukely to bring linguistic problems closer to solution. In keeping with
this policy, the editors chose to pay attention tq substzmtive Issues and problem ares as an ordering principle for
the papers_ rather than to theoretical
tendencies or particular schools of
thought.

This book exemplifies the most recent
contributions of psychoanalytic literary
criticism to an understanding of
Shakespeare's mind and art.. Its thirteen
essays reflect a careful, sophisticated interaction of post -Freudian psychoanalysis with critical readings of
Shakespeare's central preoccupations-family relations, sexuality ,
autlforttv-and their relation to different
~&amp;forms.
The oonlrt&gt;utions focus on bas;c,
recurrent themes in the development of
Shakespeare's dramatic identity. To
emphasize the recurrence, essays are
organized in- pails ex groups that share
common issues of interpretation .

New knowledge with the explicit
potential for alleviating 14_e disease
states of excessive consumption of

alcohol is succinctly reviewed in this se·
cond of the Annual Research Review
series on alcohol. The volume is based
on examination of research articles on

alcoholism treatment , including those
cited in the Index Medicus for 1977.
Not only Is research on the outcome of
long-term treatment addressed , studies
on practical modalities for alleviation of

hangover, "simple" acute in~oxk;ation
emergency care, and chronic organic

damage are collated and evaluated .
Each of the chapters, such aS those
on treatment of acute alcohol problems,
goals of treatment, treatinent of acute
withdrawal syndromes, etc.,plates current research findings In !he context of
present practice; nevertheless, areas of
IntereSt reflect both the themes of
greatest research activity and the
author's judgement · regarding the

volume Will be a standard .addition to

A basic conclusion· is that rational
clinlclil decisiOn making can be based on
the results of definitive research on new·

The Autobiography of Artbur Foote
presents a first-hand description of the
status of serious music In Boston In the
late nineteenth century. Foote's, comments on the introduction of new music

to Boston audienCes and the efforts
made to develop higher sldndards of
peformance reveal · .; ch about
American taste and cultur•' level in that
era. The book chr6nicles Foote's contributions to the development of
American music, taste, and tradition In
the areas of concert life, music education, and professional organizations .
The first American composer to receive
his entire musical training In the United
States, he was also the first to receive a
Master's degree from an American
un iversity, and the first native-bornand -trained American composer to
achieve International recognition .
Despite fame during his lifetime and
an enduring reputation , Foote has
received limited attention from
historians, and his autobiography, written in 1927, remains a primary printed
source of Information o rT his life and
career.

Psychiatric Nursing. It · shares the
premises of that text-that psychiatric
nurses have as their central concern the
humanity of people, that people search
for meaning In their interactions with
others , and that. people change
themselves, their worlds, and their
destinies as they engage in social
dialogue . Text and workbook are
specifically intended to reflect a holistic
nursing phdosophy and to suit nursing
curricula based on nursing concepts
rather than borrowed medical models.

Anatomy of Rebellion

by Oaude
E. Welch, Jr. , profeaor and chairman, political aclence. SUNY ~.
Albany, 1980. 380 pogea.

An examination of a major lorrr. of
collective polltical violence-large-scale
rural uprisings that came close to being
revolutions-is presented in this book .
Focusing on the process of change, the
book reaches general conclusions about
conditions under which violence
becomes the only way in which politically neglected members of society can
press claims lor justice.
The process of rebeOion is anaiyz.ed,
and four large-scale rebeOions are given
detailed attention: the Tl&gt;iping rebellion
in China, 1850-64, known as the
largest dvil war in history with a death
toO of perhaps 20 milllon people; the
Telengana uprising in ladia, 1946-51,
, seen by lndlan Communists as the focus
lor a national political revolution; the
M8u M8u rebeOion in Kenya, 1952-56,
perceived by British rulers as a reversion
to old tribal patterns, but in fact containing the seeils of modem nationalism;
and the "second independence" uprising in Zaire 1963-65, in which dlizens
of the province of Kwilu sought rights
they believed had been denied by the
actions of the new political elite.

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

Economics ·professor
to advise White House
on Health Care policy

--514fT

BJ UNDA GRACE-KOBA.S
A professor of economics here bas been

sdectecl to ser¥e on an advisory" commirtee on health policy. for the new Reagan
administration.
Isaac Ehrtic:h, who joined the U/B
- r.culty In 1978 afle~ spendlna a year's
~at Slanford University, said
be ~hiS seledioil to serve on the ad·
vis«y Panel is an indication that the new
administration WiD pay more attention
to CICOIIODiic matters than did previous
admillistratiolls.
_
"They wiD emphasize economics even
in areas Hke health, where they want
more of an economic input," heexplained, addinl that he found it interesting
thal he, who considen; himself an
economic seneralist, was chosen, rather
than an ~t who specializes in.one

area.

.

Ehrlich noted that his selection to
serve on the advisory paoel came as
somewhat of a surpri$e lo_ him, since
he's not affiliated with the Reagaa peo..
pie, and is not even a registered
RepubHcan ("I'm an Independent," he
said.) But he was acquainted wi.t h some
of Reqan's advisors, whom he met durina his year at Stanford, when he completed a "hiahly theorelic:al" research
paper titled, "On the Association Be-tween· Health and1lduca&amp;ion"' .which he
said takes a "human capital" approach.
Ehrlich said he has done other
research on insurance and a couple of
papers on heallh insurance.
Tbe advisory panel, chaired by
WiUiam B. Walsh, president and
medical director or People-to-People
Health Foundation, Inc : (Projeet
HOPE), ' has· not done any intensive
work so far, Ehrlkh said. One informal
meetfuB, which Ehrlich was unable to attend, has been held, and the chairman
· . has sent a "very prdiminary" summary
of the i q expressed by committee
members ~individual research or position paper$ to the l&gt;resident-elect and his
close advisors. Included in this summary
are the ideas expressed in· a paper by
Ehrlich, ''On the Rlllionale for National
Health Insurance: Where Did the
Private Market Fail?"
Ehrlich does not expect tbe panel to be
caUed upon until after Reagan has
settled in with his new Cabinet and other
hiah qfficials to reaDy begin the work of
government.

._,._.....

Nolina that the role of sovernment in
lhe proVisioa of health care is "a very
emotioaal issue,'• Ehrlich added that so
are many other areas of the economy,
s6ch as housina, social security, ilefense
and law enforcement.
"We have to study the issue of health
cue very carcfuUy before any sudden

health insurance J1111B111111S talk about
free unlimited medical cue 10 all
Americans, but this Is deceptive becallse
medical care services are never free; they
can never be unlimited because we live in
a world of Hmited resources.
"And I don't think it's reasonable to
make people behave as if medical care
services · cr~ free," he added. "We can .
talk of it as an ideal, but there is no such
thins. The money must come from
somewhere."
·
Ehrlich says he is cel:lainly not advocating the elimination of prosrams
such as Medicare and Medicaid, thoush
be does hope for chanses.
"My own assessment is that the
Reasan administraLion will not do
anything to harm Medicare or Medicaid,
but I hope he will introduce changes thai
do not amount to a reduction of
resources but to more wise utilization."
Among changes he would advocate is
the introduction of competition into the
process.
"Recipients ought 10 be able to
choose among plans of a competing
nature," he said.
EhrHch feels thai both health consumers and providers are insulated from
the true costs of health care and this
leads to the so-calied medical cost infla·
lion. problem.
"Health expenditures in-the past two
decades have tended to become hisher
than they would have been if consumers
would have been motivated to weigh he
extra benefits apinst the extra costs, "
he said. "lbose extra benefits do
threaten economic health. People are
over-utilizins medical facilities and
diqnostlc procedures, and there is no
evidence to prove that this improves
'quality of care."
Providers must accoanl
Not just consumers, but providers
should be made more accountable, .
Ehrlich staled.
"I don ' t want to subsidize the rich,"
he noted, sayins the government is helpins the rich by subsidizing medical
premiums, which benefits high wage
earners. He advocates " economy on the
margin:
"If hospitals are not reimbursed on a
cost basis but on fixed reimbursement
schedules for particular illnesses and
treatments they will not be able to pretend that the cost of illness is zero on the
marsin and will be forced to exert more
economy," he said.
"If we don't insulate consumers or
providers, it will increase the &lt;ffec·
tiveness of medical care and we wiD be
able to tarset better any kind ·of
assistance to give. to the poor."
Reslrldloa ........ 10
The sovemment has also been insulating
health care providers from competitive
ma·rkel forces by Hniitins the use of
various types of health care, Ehrlich
said . .He advocates the liflins of restrictions on the-use of health manpower by
iocreased use of physician extenders and
perhaps ahemale forms of Hci:nsure.
Ehrlich said he considers it the obligation of acade.mics to participate when

In addition ro rhese works from the
1800s; the library has important
Renaissance texts in its collection .
For example, the library owns a fourvolume coUecrion of Galen's writings as
edited by !be great Renaissance physician Conrad Gesner (1SI6-6S). Gesner,
S&amp;Y5 Hallowitz, "was a naturalist, scientist and billliopbile. He was considerat
one or· the lines! of the Renaiosuce.
scientists." Gesner was also proOcieslt ill
tbe classics and published a G!Uk-Latin
dictionary in IS37.
; Why tbe Gatm work? Galen (Ji9-c.
199 A. D.), a Greek wbo moved lo
Rome, was a pbilosopher and one of anriquity's mosr distiQIIlishid physicians,
S&amp;Y5 Hallowitz. He carried on early
analomical studies, allhouah be wasn'l
allowed to use buman cadavoers in his
disseclions. Bur . lhe Oalen/Gcsner
.acquisition has another, more personal
basis. Or. Rudolph E. Siegel, a U/B
.Medical School facully 1member who
died in 197S, had written four vclumes
on Galen. Says Hallowitz: "We sort of
fell tbal we should carry on. Dr. Siegel
was a classical scholar who could read
Greek and Larin." -

in rhe behavioral sciences, Hallowitz
reports. h seems they're orr to a good
start.
"We acquired Benjamin Rush's early
book on psychiatry," she says. Rush's
Inquiries · t1nd Observtltions upon the
~ of the Mind; (1812), was !be'

nightmarish for us in this country if we
note that the Greensboro decision in effect set up the precedent that even in the
United States it is all riplt to shOot leftists. One of the jurors at the
Greensboro trial asserted that communists should not be prOCccted by
American laws because they were not

We face similar ·polarization around
domestic policy issues. The economic
crisis in the United States stems from the
low productivity of American industry.
Much ·of that ·low productivity is the
result of dcc:adcs of nqlcct of iodustrial
plants. American industries bavc DOC
reinvested sufficient amounts of capital
to upgrade physical plants and ranain
competitive with Japan and Western
Europe. The Rcaaq Administration
proposes IllUSive Cllli in social scrviccs
to atlow for a tax cut wliicb wiD facilitate
investment capital to private industries.
Such a policy wiD of-oeccssily lead to
polarization between tbc white population, who coostitute the built of tbc industrial and white collar wortcn who
will bcocfit from tlic policy, and minority poups who face a drastically t~~Jlall­
·ed sltDdard of.livills if social scrviccs arc
reduced.
1bcse arc but'two examples of wbat is
in . effect a tocat crisis of American
capitalism. The ~options that the
socictr r.CCS do DOC support the myth of
cooscns,as And compromise. We arc
movi!l&amp; into a period of pG)arization and
confrontation. Jn. order to Understand

With such a judicial precedent what
will happen if Strom Thurmond is successful in his attempt to rcpcal the Civil
Rights Voting Act? If the federal
government can no longer monitor local
dections to prevent discrimination can
we not assume that the Klan will intimidate minority populations 10 bring
about a consolidation of right-wing con- .
trol? Moreover, since it is lepl to kill
communists, what will be the fate of
those who strUggle for voting rights? 1\n experience of llle labels fomented by
United States ideology in Latin America
indicates that a communist is anyone
who struggles within a popular movement against a repressive govenunent.

As was the Case at Frontier, visitors

ApportUre Kouakou, a natiVe of

Frontier, and from the A'l'nerican

on the " in .. rock stars (rather, New
Wave stars) and an earful or "life ex•

exposure to the s~tern itself was invaluable. '

By contrast, un&lt;!er tbC French educational system -where he was schooled,
Kouakou eltplliioed, teacliers are much
more distant with students, don't allow
any interruptions or ct,uestioru durina
lectures and, ror the most part, bave-titlle personal interaction with their
classes.
.
Because or the more casual, dis·

Another feature he found intereSliag

�-Algeria
r

~

UI B prof jmniliar with that nation "
thinks it's a ~erfect choice
to aid_in hostage negotiations
the lower graJes, with "intensiVe
English" courses available at the college
level, where the rules call for "English
only."
/
During her sta) in Algeria, she said,
800 undergraduate students at the
University . or Algiers were enrolled as
English majors, with many obligated to
teach English after graduation as a
means of repaying scholarship aid.
In their efforts to achieve economic
i nd ependence, Santillo sees the
Algerians and their ·leaders ·as being
''very strong' ' in the wake of many years ·
•
of French domination .
1
·" They are tenacious, tough and hearty," she observed . "They are looking
for and fi ndin g their own direction. " ·
At the same time, she added, today's
Algerians tend to be cheerful and display
a keen sense of humor .. once th ey get to
know and trust you.

By MILT CARLIN.
Nrws Burmu Suiff
Why was Algeria selected as -,!he gobetween in negotiations to free the
American hostages held in Iran?
A U/8 faculfy member familiar with
modem Algeria is ·convinced that the
world powers involved in ihe .seemingly
endless effort to free the S2 hostages
couldn't have made a better choici!.
As a Fulblight professor assigned to
Algeria, Marianne R. Santillo,
Hammond said she found cerlain
qualities in the North African nation's
outlook that tend to give Algeria a
so!Jlewllat unique position in world affairs.
Santillo, . who spent the 1978-79
academic year in Algeria as a consullant

in the teaching of English as a foreign
la'ftluage, pointed out in an interview
that post-revolutionary AlgerianS are
neither pro-Western nor pro Communist.
They have molded a "strong national
identity," she commented, and "don't
want any outside domination, ever
again."
She further observed that modem
Algeria is a far cry from the strife-tom
nation that won its independence from
France 18 years ago in a bloody revolution that lasted eight years.
M8jor oil supplier
Poipting out that Algeria is, in fact, ,a

major. supplier of oil to the United
States, Santillo noted that Alserian oil is
also ~ported to nations both friendly

·aDd less than ·friendly -to this country.
Tile" paltem, she ~plained , is .designed

· - to promote A.tgerla's. quest · for
·"economic iodependenoe."
"In pursuing foreign trade," she add_.. ed; "Algeria deals with many nations to
brOIIden· its trade base, thus guardjotk
qainst economic interference by Any
single country."
Her role in helping to develop greater
proficiency in the teaching of English,
· she explained. was tied to Algeria's
desire to improve its economic well-

:;a;~h':!i,:f:!.C:ti: o~:ftt~~tir;~
E)l&amp;lish.

Respe&lt;ted the world over
"I'm glaq," Santillo ventured, "that
Algeria was chosen to help mediate the
hostage issue. I, for one, found that the
Algerians are respe&lt;ted by people from
all parts or the world ...
Santillo, in mentioning·the recent earthquake at El Asnam, about I SO miles
west of Afgiers, issued a personal plea
for donations from Americans to assist
the survivors, espe&lt;ially displaced
children. An estimated 20,000 persons
lost their lives in the quake.
Inquiries to assist, she said, should be
directed to the Disaster Section of any
local Red Cross chapter in the United
States.
Santillo, herself a candidate at U/B
for a doctora(e in teaching English as.a
foreign language, became a faculty
member in 1971 after spending three
years as an English instructor in Japan.
She earned her bachelor's and master's
degrees at -UIB.
In addition to her duties as a lecturer,
Santillo serves as assistant director or
the Foreign Student English · Program
wi~~in the Intensive jOnglish Language
lnsUtute.
Meanwhile, she's convinced that if
anyone can set the stage for ending the
· year-long Ameri"'!n hostage dilemma, ·
Algeria will find a way.

A lecturer in U/B's Intensive English·
Language Institute, Santillo 6bserved
that. the age makQij&gt; of the Algerian
population lends itself exceedingly well
to academic lcaining. She. pointed out
tbat S2 per c:ent of Algeria's population
or 22 million is under 19,' which
represents "a lor or enefiY."

women. Ms. Rajini Srikant and Ms.
Uma Alladi noted that ancient Indian
women were "equal with men ~fore the
gods." In tandem, they explained the
powerful natures or the goddesses of
Hinduism, and the . self-&lt;:ontradicting
Laws of Manu, which tended to debase
women's ancient glories and freedom,
and made it easier for a man to run t he
household his. way.
The two su=ssfully parried objections from men in the audience.
Then, 'Several women joined Mrs.

Afterwards, e.ve.ryone sampled
Indian-style ·foods from-the Village ice

"The · pro cram showed that a

Faculty join in lamenting journal loss
By JOYC E BUC H NOWSKI
The recenl loss of I he high ly acclaimed
Philosophy and Phenomenological
Research Journal (PPR) IO Brown
University has prompted some bitter
comments from members of U/ B's
Philosophy Department. (See leiter in
V ie~poi n t s.)

Peter Hare 10ld the Reporter he
believes the admi nistration's lack _of
fin ancial sup port fo r a journ al of "such
grea t intellect ual distin'c tion" has
serious implications fo r the University's
·comm itment to graduate education .
Hare poin1cd out th at alt hough U/ B
did not see fit to fund the journal,
Brown University was only too happy to
do so. Another testimony to PPR 's international sta'fus, Hare added, is I hat its
new editor, Rod Chisholm, is considered
one of the " most influential
philosophers in the English-s peaking
world."
Professor Thomas P&lt;rry said he
thought it was "sick&lt;ning" that the
University could budget research in
"soap operas" but found its coffers
empty for a "journal of distinction."
Underscoring the international
r&lt;putation of th&lt;late Marvin Far~r. the
founder and editor of PPR, Newton
Garv&lt;r =ailed that at two European
conferences he attended last summer, he
met leading philosophers who quickly
asked about Farber. (Far~r joined the
U/B 'faculty in 1927; h&lt; died last
month). On&lt;, Garver noted, was the
Freilch philosopher Levinas "who was
discreetly wearing th&lt; ribbon of the
Fr&lt;nch Aaderny, th&lt; Highest of European honors." The oth&lt;r distinguished
visiting scholar was from P&lt;lcing.
" When you have a professor of ·

Student mime ·works with deaf children
By MARY BETH SPINA
A group of cnildren struggled with the
· heavy trunk, tuuintrand pulling it to a
comer of the room . Opening its rusty
locks, they found an assortment of
masks, some of which had happy faces;
others, sad. One by one, they donned

But the trunk was not real; neither

Public Affairs
reorganization
Cloutier as senior designer. Ed L.
Nowak, Public Affairs photographer,
will be associated with the Publications
unit. Additional design and production
staff may be added, ·depending on
workload, Jackson ~d.

1be Publications unit, in addition to
periodicals, will be responsible for
University-wide Pllblications such as
catalop, special p~rpose brochures and
iDformational pieces, &amp;eneral recruitment materials (in association with Admissions and Records), commencement
propams, the University Directory, and
student handbooks. Individual departmental publications are to be channeled
through Enaelbardt who will serve as
liaison between University Publications
and the Central Duplicating /
Typographies unit in Finance and

"M'a nacement. Engelhardt will also
assume responsibilities for drafting
guidelines for tbe u&gt;&lt;O and placement of ·
advertisina 'by University units.
According to Jackson, the changes
will eliminate any overlap that might
have existed in terms of news coverage
between the - News Bureau and the
Rt!pOrter, since the same individuals will
now be writing for both. BecaUS&lt;O news
writers-editors will have regular areas of
coverage, greater familiarity with and
understanding or academic and administrative units shoukl result in a
wider range of stories about their activities, Jackson said. Better service to
the University community in the way of
printed informational pieces is still
another aim of the reshuffling.
Pamela Winfield-Edel will be office
manager under the new set-up. Jean
Shrader will serve as Publications
secretary and will continue as editor of
the Reporter "Calendar. " Other
members of the secretarial staffs are
Geri Robinson, office receptionist; Connie Qui bell and Dawn Countermine. 0

�When Anne Heide came
to work on -the campus, ..
Capen·was a newcomer
· When Anne Heide was first put on the
.Univenity payroll,. Samuel P. Capen
· Was pnisidenL That was in 1930, and
Capen was a mere newcomer him5!'lf,
havinc been here only eight years.
. Fifty years back, Squire. and Diefendorf weren't even a twinkle in some architect's eye. The Farber-Sherman-Cary
complex where Heide now works as a
junior scientist in microbiology didn't
exist either. What An'ne Heide has
willleSSed in her five decade"s of service
here is the metamorphosis of a univer:si~y.

This Tuesday, Heide, who has the
distinction of being the longest continuing U/8 employee, was honored by the
Kelters.' Sharing the spotlight were 108
other -members Qf the ·University community who ·have worked here 25 years
or Ionge[-'. . .
·

Coombs, Bela ' Schick, father or the
Schick test for diphtheria, and Jules
Freund.
Talking about her work with an obvious sense of pride and pleasure, Heide
remarked that she never wanted to-leave
the University because she "never got
bored" with what she was doing. "It's
been challen&amp;;ng and there are always
new things to team. I remember when I
first started working there was no such
thjng as penicillin.'' she grinned. ·
Woa't miss the ~oclellac
Thinking about her future and that of
the Main Street Campus, Heide said that
when she retires, which won't be for a ·
"'couple of years" yet, she wants to
"come back and visit," but is happy she
won't be working in the remodeled
Health Sciences Center.
"It seems that since I st.arted working

Prepua lab exerdses
Dcginning her long tenure as a part-time

worker in the Anatomy Department ,
Heide eventually. completed several
courses at U/B and MFC and worked
her way to a _full-time position in
Pathology, and . eventually to
Microbiology,· where she now prepares
laboratory exercises for some 200
students.
- ·Reealling her many experiences auhe
University, Heide said thin having the
privilege of tr3ining under the .. outstanding researcher" Etnest Witebsky ' was
among the most

noteworthy OCcur-

rences. She also cherishes the memory of
meeting the Englis,h researcher Robin

here all they' ve _d one is dig holes around
me," she jokes .
Devoted employee as she is, Heide
worries that the new Farber-ShermanCary complex will not be large enough
to adequately house the units located
there. After all, she has seen her own
department mushroom from 10 people
to 120 faculty and staff plus 50 graduate
students.
When she does retire, Heide says she
has no plans to " sit and rock ." Instead
she'll travel and do volanteer work . •
Until that time, however, Heide maintains with since e gusto, "It pleases me
to be able to come to work every
day."

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

SA. Academic Task Force .
·s po·nsoring system for
complaints against profs
If students bc:lieve thelr rights are being
violated by any mernbc:r of the teaching
faculty, they can register a complaint
!'ext semester by filliDg out a form ,bc:ing
made available through SA's Academic
Task Force.
•
According to lauren Shapiro, SA's
academic affairs director, studenl s
believing they have a legitimar.e complaint must pick up a form (in either the
Sub-Board Office on the Main Street
Campus or the SA Office at Amherst)
and explain, ·in writing, the nature of I he
charge. They must also indicate whether
they have personally confronted the
faculty mernbc:r with the complaint, and
if not, why not. The form , noted
Shapiro, will also allow room for
students to secure signatures from
classmales who can substantiate the
charge.
Substaali•t claai"Jits
After the form is filed with SA, Shapiro
said the Task Force - which includes
her and a handful of other st udents will allempl to check the claim to make
sure it's substantive.
A "rational, well thought-out assess·
ment" is impn-ative al this stage, he
emphasized . When possible, students
will be: encouraged to talk out the mauer
with the inslructor.
lf tl!ll!_ i,s _~_jmi!Ossible_and _the
.complaint is judged valid, the Task
Force, depending upon the charge, will
either contact the teacher by phone or
corres_.POndencc, or make an appoina menl for a meeting, preferably the latter, Shapiro continued.
It is hoped that any problems can be:
solved a1 this initial stage, but if nor,
Shapiro said the Task Force is 'prepared
to go to the department head, then to the
dean, if nee~ . As' a last resort, shi:
indicated, ~ canipu~ press _m ay be:

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

matter he wanted to correct. He also
noted his amendment would force the

Hare reminded Senators that the 7

courses required in the Metzger proposal
are "minimal" at best and that allowing
for a concentration would only further
"dilute" the program. Hare wasn't opposed to a concentration, providing a
larger number of.courseo were required .
As a foUow-up, Foster recounted for
Senators that even_ in the original GE
document whidi mandated II course$,
only two courses were required in a
single tlnowlcdge area. "A general
education implies broad exposure to a
number of knowledge areas," he
assert.ed, addina that Shapiro's amendment .. violated the spirit" of the
original GE plan. Foster also pointed
out that Metzger's proposal allowed for
flexibility in that students could stiU opt
for depth usina electives.
Peradotto told senators that Shapiro's
amendment would be hard to implement
since propessive sequences of courses
haven't as yet been developed for GE.
Shapiro's motion was defeated.

.

Tbe Delli cleba1e focused on whether or

not transfer studeats should be included

in the program. MetZer's original proposal included them.
- Professor Sol WeUer from Chemical
Engineerina objected to their inclusion
since most transfers come in as. upperclassmen and would be saddled with requirements normally taken in . the l"ust
two years.
Metzaer moved to strike transfer
students from the resolution, noting
their iadusion was a carryover from the

original GE document. Other Senators,
however, objected. Vic Doyno said that
if all transfers wae off"Jcially excluded,
more students would be tempted to skirt
tbe requiremcats by applyiag to other institutions for their rust two years of collqc.

even through Graduate School. Students
are constantly exposed to the "in·
separable" triad. of reading, thinking
and writing.
Tbe screening test
The procedure .used to test the writing
skills of U/ 8 freshmen involved six different writing topics assig'ned randomly
to each group being tested. The exercise
required the student to develop a logical
and persuasive argument on some subject. Using scoring procedures modeled
on an Educational Testing Service program. each paper was reviewed and
scored by two of six English Department
TAs trained by Fleischer. Scores ranged
from 2-12. Those scoring 9 or better
were exempt from the skills requirement. Those with 7's and 8'5 were channeled into English 101; individuals with
5's and 6's were directed to 101. A score
of four o r below was considered an indication that remedial work was needed.
This was our fi~t empirical confrontation with what we have to work with.
said Fleischer. Results "confirmed" the
situation is not .. hopeless."

Now a variety of d~ options exist.
English courses numbered from 101 to

Writine crisis?
Several years ago, talk about a "writing
crisis" was widespread in the popular
press and in some educational circles.
But "talk" was aU anyone had to go on
- especially at U/ B where students'
writing skills (as opposed to verbal prowess) had never been measured widely.
In the summer of 1979, a group of individuals from the General Education
Committee, DUE, English, the Learning
Center and EOP decided to mate a first
careful assessment of how U/B
freshmen write .
Dr. Cbarles Cooper. tbea bead of
both tbe l..eamiD&amp; Ceuter and tbe Program in English Education of the Faculty of Educational Studies, suuested in
advance of the process that the so-called
"writing crisisu was nothing new.
' 'There has always been a writing crisis
in • American schools," said Cooper.
"Writing bas never been taugh~ weD."
As a result, "most freshmen arrive at
coUe.ge having written very little, having
written only in limited modes of
discourse, and .having received poor,
even downright misleading, instruction
in writing ...
This, said Cooper, was as true in the
1930s as in the 1970s- only now fewer
students Me able to acquire literary siriUs
on their own. Fewer and fewer come
from homes where nadiog- and writina
are bigbly valued. Tbey need a cbaoce to
to write, be said.

The pilot testing propam devised by
Cooper, F1eisc:ber and others found
that, while aU re.gularly-admitted U/B
freshmen have control of the basic siriUs
of writina at the word and sentence
level, somewbcre between SO and 75 per
cent of the ypical freshmen dass:
• have great diffoculty crating written text with adequate coonectioos and
relationships from sentence r-o sentence;
• are unable to generate' examples,
anecdotes, and details to suppon
generalizations;
• seem unaware of how to present
arguments in writing;
.
• adopt a writing voice which sounds
more lilce a bureaucrat or academic
writina about something he doesn't fuUy
understand or wishes intentionally to
obfuscate than a human beins writina to
other human beings about an important
issue in our time;
• prefer to offer overly-simple,
common-sense solutions to complex
problems rather than to' analyze critically the evidence or issues; and
• lack information about common
social problems which are re.gularly and
prominently discussed in the popular
news media.

I heard Lawrence Ferlinghetti read that
poem many years ~o. Lt amused me
then. I respooded to the whimsical
aspects or the presentation and then
promptly forgot _about it.
In recent days, particularly since I accepted tl&gt;e position as Vice President for
Academic Affairs, Ferlinghetti's poem
and the volume of its origin have reinvaded my consciousness.
The volume, A Coney Island of The
Mind, is an appropriate description of
the information overload that
characterizes this position. The
metaphor or flashing lights and other attention getting mechanisms along with
row after row of attractive options,
creative packaging and promised
delights if one were to select this
"amusement" or that one has certain
parallels to the early days or acquaintanceship in this position.
The poem itself is filled with cries of
alarm and concern, suggestions of impending danger. as well as courageous
creativity; intimations of grace and
beauty and a wistful exaltation of
freedom with "no strings attached."
The latter, however, is a wish and -a
fantasy that is incongruent with the
reality of ou r present existence.
Everywhere there are strings attached.
In my own co~ns and _in those that I
wish to share w1th you th1s afternoon, 11
is Chagall's mother who emerges as the
most insistent strain in the poem for me.

lavol-nt In The Life or Society
In the demanding -and reasonable increase in the involvement of the life of
society we .are challenged to create "a
more unified intellectual world." As we
respond to the legitimate requests Of
segments ·o r society newly acquainted
with their proprietary interest in the
university, we are called upon . "to
answer fragmentation with general
theories and sensitivities."
Edward Levi or Jhe University or
Chicago observed that "the greatest service of the university is in its commitment to reason, in its search. for basic
knowledge, in its mission lo preserve
and to give continuity tt? the vatu~ of
mankind•s many centunes. In a t1me
when the intellectual values are
denigrated. this service was never more
required ."
However, the terms under which these
activities may go forward may not be
defined only by the residents or the
academy but also by a wider constituency than ever before. This is one or the
most significant strings attached to our
efforts at the presenl time.

Definition of teaching quality sought ,;
This semester, tbt Faculty Senate Committee on Teaching Quality will explore,
among other things, whether departments can come to grips with a definition of teaching quality.
GiviDa an u~te on the panel's activitia to tbt Faculty Senate Executive
Committee last week, its new chairman,
Frank Schimpfbauser, said tbe Committee hopes to develop a model by "testing
out one system" to see if an acceptable
def"mition of teaching quality can actually be qreed upon by departmental colleques. Schimpfhauscr hopes tbt Committee can lei a "framewortr" for judging teaching quality and also provide
guideliDes for documentation .
. Tbe Committee, according to Schimpfbauscr, also plans to uncover what type
of resources; teehnical and otherwise,
are c:urreotly awilable to fllCUity for improving teaching dfec:tivaaess, and to

Orpi!izatioal R _..
As John Gardner points out "people are
the ultimate source of (organizational)
renewal." He goes on tp point out that
"like people and plants, organizatiool!
have a life cycle. They have a green supple youth, a time of flourishing strength
and a gnarled old age. Orpoizations
differ from people and plants in that
their cycle isn't even approximately
predictable. An organization may go
from youth to old age in two or three
decades or it may last for centuries.
More important, it may go through a
perind of stagnation and then renewal."
In short, decline is not inevitable and
organizations can renew themselves
continuously.
It is a matter of will, effort and corn- mitment. It involves the identification of
talent and a nurturing environment for
that talent. It involves the willingness to
engage in serious self criticism, an interest in future planning, and a wiUingncss to mediate vested interests.
"Change is always risky, usually uncomfortable, and often painful."
However, for this institution to engage
in a serious renewal-process, some risk.
some pain may be necessary. In any
event, we begin this process shortly. We
are not postponing this activity and we
take our message from e.e. cummings:

"There is no Center comparable to
CREST in the United States," Anderson
remarked. He feels its establishment is
essential to sua:essful research since
"from unity comes strength."
Arthur Poner, chairman of the
Ontario Royal Commission on Electric
Power Planning and professor of
engineering at the University of Toronto, was guest speaker at the luncheon.
"The formal opening of a university
center in these days or comparable
austerity is an act of faith and an indication of people at the helm with courage
and imagination," be told the 40 or so
guests. "It also signifies graduate
students anxious and willing to tackle

enormous resou rces in fossil fuels and
mineral wealth," he said. " With deple- ·
tion of energy sources, these regions
become increasingly imponant. To
minimize t}le environmental impact of
offshore drilling in very cold regions
calls for very advanced environmental
and engineering knowledge which can
only be obtained by very basic research
such as CREST's."
Porter also mentioned another focus,
of cold regions engineering: the Earth's
climate. Levels of carbon dioxide in the
Earth's atmosphere have increased 30
per cent in the past 100 years. primarily
because of the massive amou nts of fossil
fuels which have been utilized since the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Many scientists fear this increase could
cause th~ average surface temperature
on Eanh to rise approximately 2 o C,
even more in Lhe polar regions.
'' If this is true, it will have a very profound impact on the polar ice caps and
the stability of pack ice. with large scale

Microelectronics· will change our
The microelectronics revolution is one
of those "gee whizzes .. . that are going
to change our lives," William J. Weisz,
vice chairman of the Board of Motorola,
Inc., told area executives at a forum
sponsored by the School of Management
and (he U/B Foundation this week.
Ttlere have already been changes
which some might call revolutionary, .
Weisz pointed out.
His car, for example, is equipped with
eight microcomputers. An engine
mllllliiJCIOCD( system collects inputs such
as position of crank shaft, position of
the foot on the accelerator,
temperatures, pressures, and valve positions. It calculates for each spark plug
the proper fud mix and tbe exact moment of flring, to give the optimum
balance between fuel economy and air
pollution.
A totally "computerized" electronic
house has just been built near Phoenix,
' heralding an age in which the average
house will have as many microcomputers as it now has electric motors.
Entire new industries have been
created out of the beginnings of the
revolution: hardly anyone makes slide
rules or main springs for wristwatches
·
anymore.
Even the disc-storage method for
computers themselves faces possible obsolescence, he suggested. Something
called "bubble memory," with no moving parts, looms large on the horizon.
Microelectronics, Weisz defined, "is a
r-dtnology that creates very dense com1&gt;'-ut'ons of dectronic components and
_;;,;;;;IS on the· surface of a very small
cuip .&gt;f some special kind of material,
_,, ;&gt;ically si&amp;oo."
_
Tbe "state of tbe an" is changing
rapidly.
Last year, the most dense chip being
produced by anybody, in any quantity,
contained approximately 10 or 12 thousand uaosiston. Today, · the former
managu of Motorola's communications
division ;id, his company ships
rnicrocom ers with 70 thousand transistors on a iogle chip of silicon and
memory devices having in excess of 100
thousand -t ransistors("

Even that, though, is nowhere near
full potential, according to the Motorola
executive. The method by which computers Operate is still "old-fashiooed."
AU computers today operate on a principle known as Von Neuman architecture.
Instructions are stored in the computer
and the computer executes them one at a
time-in a series. That, Weisz said, is
"like sitting in your office and identifying one person on the production line to
place one pan in one radio. While that
person is doing the assigned task,
everyone else in the company does absolutely nothing. When that task is completed you would tell somebody else to
\.PC:rform the next production step, " etc.
That is not very efficient, but almost all
computers today operate in that manner, excepl for one, "the human brain. "

A million limes 1 million
The brain contains some 4 biiUon
neurons, each of which is like a little
computer all by itself, Weisz went on.
"And even though the human brain
operates at a tiny fraction of the speed
of today's computer, its effectiveness is
estimated at something like a hundred
million times that of the best computers
we know how to build. So if we assume
that we will capture some proportion of
the efficiency of the human brain in the
next to or IS years, it is not unUkely that
the power of computers in the 1990s will
be another miUion times greater, just
beeauS&lt;' of the nature of the architecture. So now, we are talking about a
million times a thousand, times a thousand, and that characterizes a true
revolution in science."
Computers today manipulate data,
numbers for the most pan, Weisz said.
Tomorrow's computers, he predicted,
will manipulate analog informatioo.. that is. voice, pictures, and things that
are much harder to nail down than data.
Cathode ray tube displays today are
two-dimensional and monochromatic.
The displays of the future will be threedimensional and in color. The computers of today talk in one way or
another. The computers of the future

The . Bulls' 31-29 win over Alfred
Siturday saw several records set.
The win sealed U/ B's first winning

~so put two seniors in the record books
for some years to come.

Inflation can be 'good
for us,' management prof avows
D.r: John Boot of the U/ B School of
Management told the Buffalo Ne ws
Sunday that he is tired of hearing
overblown talk about the horrors of inflation . He preferS to dwell on its
" merits."
Among them he cited the following:
elnflation allows an economic
system to decrease "real wages" when
pr_oductivity is sluggish; it serves as a
safety valve.
• Lower inflation would throw many
more people out of work.
• The 100 billion American dollars
held by the Arabs have become worth
less, which helps the U.S.
• You can actually save money in
times of inflation: if one's income has
doubled along with the consumer price

index, most shoppers still make enough
changes in buying patterns to gain
ground .
Inflation may be occasionally unfair
to certain individ uals, Boot told the
News' Margaret Sullivan, but regardless
o f occasionally unfair results, inflation
is a " vastly trivial" problem, he contended. The main problem in the
American economic system, he said , is
decreasing productivity. Productivit y,
he defined, is a result o f "the work
ethic, investment , and technological
breakthroughs." When it lags, a good
dose of inflation helps its growth, he
contended . J
Boot said" he understands his theory is
unorthodox, but believes someone ought
to challenge the widely-held ~lie f that
0
inflation is bad .

Sci~nces

Most pediatricians are concerned with
health and illness of the young.
But U/ B pediatrics professor Dr.
Byung H . Park hopes that by stud ying
the immune system of the young some of
the mysteries of aging will be solved.
One of the few pediatric researchers
st udying aging in co nnection with
children Park has recei ved a three-year,
$ 150,o00 grant from the Na tional Institute of Aging and t!fe U.S. Public
Health Service. His reSearch in volves
evaluation of the immuneSy'"stem in 300
Western New Yorkers-many o f them
children-who suffer from Down 's Syndrome.
Down 's Syndrome, a genetic defect , is
characterized by chromosomal anoma l y ~
and mental retard3tion. More important
to Dr. Park, however, is the fact that
those with Down' s Synd rome appear to
have a more rapidly deteriorating immune system than is normal. The immune system fights off disease and infectio n.
" There are several theories about the
mechanism of aging," Park says. Some
scientists believe aging begins when
enough .. mistakes '' accumulate in the
DNA of body cells during the cou rse of
life. Another theory advances the idea
that eacp Qody cell has ~limited capacity
to dlipHcate itself duri1ik' a lifetime.
But a thi rd theory , which Park embraces at this poi nt, is simply that aging
occurs as the bod y's immune or defense
system deteriorates, allowing the body
to fall prey to various ailments and
disorders.
Deterioration speeds up
'' Although research in this area has been
sporadic, we do know those with
Down's Syndrome appear to have an immune system which grows less efficient
within a shorter number of years than is
true in most people," Park explai ns. As
evidence to support this theory, he notes
that children with Down's Syndrome are
prone to die of infectio n within their
first 10 years-despite modern medicine

and antibiotics. Furthermo re, those who
survive that first decade have greater
odds of dying of cancer than others.
Cancer, many scientists believe, is a
disease for which a faulty or
deteriorating immune system may be to
blame.
During the course of the three-year
stud y, Park will evaluate so'!'e )3 fac- ·.
tors of the immu ne system m persons
with Down' s Syndrome, in age-matched
normal individ uals and in the elderly.
He hopes to find some clues as to which
parts of the immu ne system are most influential in staving off aging.
"ln the normal person , the immune;
system is not totally mature until about
12 or 13. After about 35 , evidence indicates, parts of the immune system
slowly begin to be less efficient and some
may eventually cease to function."
By findi ng which immune factors contribute most to preventing the aging process, there is hope that in the future,
ge netic engineering techniques, not yet
developed, might enhance the work of
these factors.
" The aim of suc h research is not to
fi nd ways in which people could live
forever but to devise ways of preventing
the deterioration of the immune systtm
so people could enjoy ~Iter quality lives
and li ve longer," Dr. Park explains.
Studyina the yoaaa aids ille elderly
Although most who do research in the
field of aging are looking at the elderly,
Park believes there is great potential in
looking at the you ng.
"When someone is already old ,
changeS in the immune system have
already occurred," he says, "but- by
following the young and identifying
changes as they may often subtly occur
over a lifetime, the answers may become
more apparent.' '

Robin Bannerman, chief of U/ B's Division of Human Genetics; and Dr. Louis

SA presents awards·
to four teachers
Three faculty and a calculus lecturer in
Millard Fillmore College have been
singled out to receive the first Student
Association Teaching Awards.
Drs. Gerald Rising, Katherine
Hildebrandt, and Charles E. Smith and
doctoral candidate Dip Bhattacharya
will receive plaques attesting to their exceUence in teaching this Tuesday at an
awards ceremony and reception in the
SA Senate Charn~rs. Talbert Hall.
Awardees were selected by a committee of four to five students from a pool
of 21 nominees recommended by
mem~rs of the student body last
semester. Before winners were chosen,
nominees were observed in class and
their students were asked specific questions regarding their teaching effectiveness. Their SCATE rankings were
also checked.
·
Instruction Professor Rising was
characteriied by students and the class
observer as " witty," " pleasant, " "ex·
tremcly fair," and someone who "goes
out of his way to meet with students."
Wrote one of his nominaton: ~ ·He
makes class something worth CQ.ming
to." Another noted: "Dr. Risina stands
apan from any other teacher I've ever
~d . The difference is carina-"
Associate Professor Smith, who
teaches Biology 119-120, uses an oldfashioned, yet effective instructional
tool which scores hi&amp;h with Students: a
question box . Smith's "relaxed
llWlDCr," '.'aa:euibility," and .. ~
orpnized .lectures" were also applauded
by students alona with his ability ro"break JIP Ill~ .lt!ODotony .i n dasf J&gt;Y.,an .

occasional jo\e." One student summed
it up this way: " His method of teaching
makes biology almost bearable -or even
(dare I say) enjoyable."
Hildebrant, _assistant prof~or in
developmental psychology, was cTWited
with making "very effective use of class
Lime," '"encouraging questions and .giving students in-depth responses," "mak- ·
ing subject material interesting and easy
to understand" and presentina weU constructed lectures.
" He's the best! " declared one student;
about MFC .Jecturer and Learning·,
Center TA Dip Bhattacharya. A native,
of India who once worked as a profes- '
sional mqician, he was described as an
'"energetic" . and "fair" teacher who
'"encourages class discussion," "knows
his students by name" and has a "gooil
sense of humor.'' to boot.
"He can relate to people like no
teacher has ever done," wrote a former
student and fan .
VPAA Robert Rossberg and DUE
Dean John Peradotto will speak at the
invitation only, awards presentation.

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

Rebounding.
Buoyed up by three semesters of consecutive growth after an eight semester
enrollment decline, Continuing Education Dean James Blackhurst thinks
Millard Fillmore College has finally
caught its second wind.
The sharp upswing in enrollment from 3200 last year to 4300 this semester
- is apparently a culmination of several
interlocking variables which all· worked
to effect positive change.
An ·exam-ple, points out the dean, is
MFC's increased in»eevement with
recruitment and admissions procedures.
Through a reorganization of the student ·

f9r non-

matriculated enrollees. That is, they
make it their business to see thai the.
"systems of the University operate for
MFC students," explains Blackhurst.
Each weekday until9 p.m., a member
of MFC's professional and clerical staff ·
is on hand to assist students with any
dirliculties they may be encountering. lf
the problem can't be-resolved that evening, at least the Procedure to do so is initiated for follow-up the next day by
other staff.
Oae-step, h&lt;HKIIe-r
reglst.. tion
In an. attempt to uncomplicate what
often proved to be a frustrating and arduous regiSlration process- ~icular­
ly for those less accustomed to institutional red tape - MFC now offers a
one-step, headache-free procedure. Instead of filling out four forms from different orlices, students complete only
one: Within 24 hours, the information is
processed by MFC staff and a schedule
card is mailed.
"\\"e., in fact, stand in line for the student," remarked Blackhurst. Also, with reorganization of the
Dean's office, advisors now work exclusively in student services and get more
of an opponunity to ditectly interact

with registrants . . Previously, notes
Blackhurst, their time commitments
were divided between student services
and planning and budget activities.
Increased in-volvement of student
assistants in defining registration procedures has also been a big plus for
MFC. Not only can st udents relay the
"how to's" of keeping hassles to a
minimum. but their presence, explains
the dean, keeps uthe staff sensitive" to
the special problems students face, over

and above those relatin g 10 registration.

Smoothing out wrinkles in the registration process is one thing but whetting the
community's interest in attending MFC
is something else.
·
Through a market r"¥'3rch study
directed by ManagelllJIIIt Professor
Brian Ratchford, Blackhurst was able to
pinpoint and subsequently highlight,
what are.Tresidents perceive as advan-

tages of a continuing education at U/ B
as opposed to programs al other local institutions. _
The study indicated that MFC was
thought of as having "quality faculty,"
a " greater diversity and level of programs" and an "accessible campus."
Additionally, it was perceived as --more
affordable," and, because of its affiliation with U/B, of having more of a "national reputation."

MFC not the
'reserves' any more
For the first time this -semester, th~
perceived strenaths were underscored in
almost $33,000 wonh of direct mail and
media advertising. At the same time,
M.FC staff worked to correct items listed
as least attractive (like inefficient
registration procedures and bureaucratic_
tangles) and noted those improvements
_ .
·
in promotional copy.
Besides using a more sophtsttcated approach to advertising, MFC has peppedup its course offerings. Blackhurst
believes improved curriculum geared to
meet the needs of students, plus an increased number of senior faculty
teaching evening courses, 1tas also
helped attract new students.

. "When a department is shon of
students, I think it makes good sepse for
them to teach at night on-l,o ad rather
than lose fatuity positions.~ · he
declared.
- .
'
Instead of its being viewed as a fmancialthreat, Blackhurst thinks it more appropriate for M.FC to be seen as a type
of safety mechanism which can provide
enough financial Oexibility to protect
faculty jobs from the "impulses of student enrollment." When and if abrupt
shifts do occur, M.FC has the ability to
respond by rapidly shifting resources
,.without jeopardizing existing lines,"
he emphasized.
One thing the dean wants to make
clear· is that the success or failure of
MFC is "'intimately _intertwined" with
the fortunes of University departments.
Therefore what M.FC is not trying to do
is .. run a' counter~university at night. "
Instead he insists, M.FC's planning approach 'rejects the notion of' "owning
programs" in favor of one whi.ch promotes ''around~the-clock operattOQ of a
university serving non-traditional
clientele.''
"It 's just a different management
philosophy," Blackhurst added. "If
departmenls offer good programs at
night, they gllin we gain, the students
and education gain."

Wbo attends MFC?
An initial sample of non:matriculated
MFC students shows that about 40 per
cent already hold bachelor's degrees, 49
per cent are married, 9 per cent are
single parents and the average student
age is around 30.
"Millard Fillmore College should no

The president of the Millard Fillmore

one thing, he serves by night.

unsuccessful campaign for the post of

·
Patrick Helmbrecht became president
last spring, emerging, as MFCSA leaders
have traditionally done, from the ranks
of ~ association's S to 7-member executive board. MFCSA has no Senate or
other representative body-frankly,
because of a lack of both interest and
time on the pan of its 4400 constituents.
The executive group does it ali-or did,
until just recently when a fuU-time staff
position funded from student fees was 1
created. -T hat makes MFGSA the on~

as president. He came to U!B to take.

it has a lso been rumored that New

A. I don't like to sec anything done away with. I
believe in freedom of choice and I believe that in·
dividuals ouaht to have a riaht to choose for
themselves whatever they want to believe. I can try to
persuade someone not to believe and they wiU try to
dissuade me. I do think certain forms of Christianity
arc mistaken and I am very critical of what I view as
·a uthoritarian. dogmatic a nd repressive religious institutions.

Q. Aaother lellet of your Manifesto is tile rejectioa
of a deity?
A. The Manifesto does say that religion at its best can
be inspiring and Can lead to human commitment and
moral improvement; however. it does say that we
don' t believe in the notion of-God, of the transccn·
dent God separate from human history or humin institutions or human persons. The test of a religion is
not what it says, but what it docs. That's the main
point.
.The Manifesto is critical of the doctrine of immortality. Now. I rccoaniu that to many JudeoChristian points of view the notion of eterual salvation is rather fundamental . We tend to be skeptical
about that. We don't think that there's evidence that
the personality survives this life. it's a matter of
faith , and we're committed largely to reason and not
faith, so that the whole emphasis. of the Manifesto is
on this life. it's a good life. It's happiness. I use the
term ,.exuberance:• Wbat do you want? You want
at) exuberant life. Fulfillment of life.

· Q. How did JOII come 1o be a 11-.llt?
A. I studied aJ New York University and I went on
for my advanced dqree in philosophy and I'd spent a
lifetime in c:onsiderina and clcbatina problems of the
existence of God and of the human condition, so
humanism is a product of a Ions life of study.

" \
Q. How do J011 defiM 11.....-.1
A. Humanism is difficult to define. But I think the
key notion ·is i!B emphaais upon the freedom of the
individual, on .the preciousness and dianiiy of the
individual penon and the riaht of each J)er50Jl to
make his own c:boices about whal he believes and·
how be will live. And humanistJ aseaitical of any ef·
fort by institutiOns, whelhcr they be church or state

A. HUIIWlist Manifesto II was issued 40 years after
HUIIWlist Manifesto I and it seems to me that one
•·.. ~to .cog$18ntly. rewrite one's principles and be wiU;
ina to chana• in liaht of new experience. The world
had been throuah terrible shock with World War II
and the brutal communist dictatorships, the
totalitarianism and fascism in the 30s and 40s, so a
restatement had to be made. So this was an effort by
myself, in ~tion with many other people who
contributed sugestions as the Humanist Manifesto
II went throuah many drafts, attemptina to worlf out
a document that we thouaht was appropriate to the
emerJins future and to the 21st century. I think the
key point is to develop the sense of world community
and to develop the sense of humanity as a whole and
to emphasize tolerance.
As humanists, we're democrats With a small ceo."
The central value is tolerance, so the purpose. of
Humanist Manifesto II is to develop an appreciation
for toleratina other points of view; rdiaious,
ideoloaical, political, moral and ethical. We live in
the same world; we have to work toae!her, to lessen
the level of hatred and conflict. There ase very
serious problems that the world faces and no one has
the rma1 answers, neither the Christians 'nOr the
hUIIWlists, so we have to cooperate in attemPtina, as
honestly as we can in work:ina out these solutions.

Q. How do JOII deflae toltrucle?
A. Tolerance is an appreciation for the other point of
view, a recoanition that there are other points of view
in the world and that people will allow them to exist.
Now, this docsn ' t mean that one has to aaree with the
other point of view. It seems to me that Christians
ouaht to attack and critici:e hUmanists and
hUIIWlists ouaht to critirue Christians and Moslems
and Jews and communists and.socialists and liberals
and conservatives also. Criticism is a life blood of the
worlcl, but constructive criticism, not destructive.

think that hUIIWlism is perhaps closer in tryina to

all hwnan. And I think humanists have defects as
much as Christi&amp;ns. I don't accept the doctriDe of

But I think it is important that the hUIIWlists and

Q. Willa! do JOII lldak of ,..,.. JOII read tilt llilllt?
A. I consider the Bible to be beautiful literature and I
am inspired by its literary qualities. I don' t think that
the Bible is true necessarily, and I view it as a document passed down by old tradition and rmally written as tb'e exprcssiQD of a primitive people. I don' t
look upon it as the word of God and I think the
evidence of the miracles that alleaedJy occurred arc
questionable; hut I don' t take the Bible as any kind
of authority. It's truly part of the areal heritaae of
the West or of the world. It ouaht to be read with objectivity as iUustrations of moral excellence, but not a
revealed truth.

A. J like the hook of Job very much, as it deals with
the problem of evil. And, of course, the Sermon on

'because it's always the question that Christians must
face. How do you rcconcik:-"lovinaGQdwiU! the evil
in the world? This is the problem that Job faced .

A. I'm not even ccnain Jesus existed. I think the Bi·
ble is full of m)'lbolou and I think the hiaber critical
inquity by. Bihlic:al scholars has found a number of
important diffacultics. But the Bible was written for a
rural, aaricultural, form of life. We live in an urban
and technoloaical world. We ase ready to probe into
space. a areal adventure of science, and I don't think
the Bible could be stretched to l.)ipty to today. I think
.it's an inspiration for many people and I appreciate
that, so Ions as they don't try to impose it upon me,
or people thai disbelieve, but I don't think it can be

seems to me thai humility is a very important virtue,

F"llliDa -bcllisblllcnts for a fellow
COIIIIll')'aWI who once danced as · a
soloist with the fam&lt;lllf Odessa Ballet in
Rllllia.
Now a ballet instructor in the Departmear or Tll5tre and Dulc:e, and soonto-be resident artist at B'-9&lt; Mountain
Co0cae II, Olp KostritA)' describes
ballet in one word: work.
Laborin&amp; towards a career in dance
bepn for Kostritzk)' at eiaht years of
qe when bcr mother took her to a!Jditions at the Odessa Ballet School. The
school cautioned the woman not to expect too much from bcr daiJibter since
she didn't appear "tall or skinny
enouab" to dance as a professional. But
tbe Odessa accepted her anyway,
aamblin&amp; that her body and talent would
develop.
She worked to prove their initial
predictions wrong, stretching her
muscles, strengthening her body, and
floe-tuning her motor abilities until at
age 14, two years before completing her
8-year training period, sbe was chosen to
perform with the professional company.
in Russia. when a child is sel~ed for
such a training program, Kostntzky explained. much more is involved than
daily ballet lessons. Russians believe
baJJi:t is an "intellectual art," and
because it is, mandatory instruction is
siven in musical instruments, "foreign
language, drama and the history of
theatre and music.
Because training is so intense, children
are "treated as professional" immediately upon entering a prosram.
Sloth isn't tolerated, she remembers.

In order to leave Russia, Kostritzky
said she frrst applied for a passport to
Israel, a gambit frequently used by Russian Jews who want to emigrate to the

u.s.

Besides .teaching at the Department or
Theatre and Dance, Kostritzky last year
became a panner in and artistic director
of the Royal Academy of Ballet in
Buffalo. The founder of the Royal
Acaclerny, .Ginger Burke, is a highly

t!-

advanced

While Kostriizky admits the classics
are "more me," she findS all styles of
dance enjoyable, providing they are
"donewell."

Editor:
Professor Newton Garver's disquisition
on the nature of instructional versus interpersonal relations was dishearteningly
shallow. He has allempted to instate his
starting assumptions as a Frcge might
have done in mathematical logic. Above
everything dse, his acceptance or a
hierarchical, professionalized view or instruction commits him to an
authoritarianism consistent with training, and not educaion as defmed in the
classical, humanistic manner. When
dealing with educa,tion as a pr"'7"'
itself, we cannot postulate starting
assumptions and relations as in the propositional .calculus. Professor Garver
would profit from a reading of R.S.
Peters' Ethics 111td EduCilliolf, especially
when he discusses the "boly grail" of
objective standards and truth which
unite student and teacher in their corn· mon quest.
_
·
in order to cast further doubt on Professor Garve&lt;'~ view or imtructiooal
relations, I close with a quote from the
great mathematical lockian ancl
philosopher, Bertrand Russell. The
quote comes from Pnrtrtlitt From
M~lftory, and is a roem.ar,kabJe
characterization of What .Dade' Alfred
North Whitdlead, Russel's collaborator
on the Priltcipitl Mlllw..tiCil, the extraordinary teacher he was. Russell
wrote the fpllowing:
"Whitehead was extraordinarily
perfect as a teacber. He took a personal
interest in those with whom he had to
deal ancl knew both their strong and
theh weak points. He would elicit from
a pupil the best of which a pupil was
capable. He was never repressive, or ~r­
cast,ic, or superior, or any of the th&lt;!'&amp;S
that inferior teachers like to be. I thmk
that in all the abler young men with
whom he came in contact he inspired, as
he did in me, a very real anjllasting affection."
On the assumption that Professor
Garver practices his own distinction, we
conclude with one rhetorical question:
Would Bertrand Russell have
characterized ProfQSO&lt; Garver as a
superior or inferior teacher?

for The Club or Rome.
•
Price, 33, was inrormed or his selection by John A. Harris IV, chairman or
the association's Board or Directors and
president · or the Zero Population
Growth Foundation.
The U.S. Association was rounded in
1976 to suppon The Club or Rome's
self-imposed mandate to help build a
better world ror. now and the ruture; Tbe
Club, established in 1968 by a group or
30 individuals from 10 nlltinns, bas·been
described as an "invisible college"
devoted to promoting a better
understanding or world problems.
Price ~xpressed confidence that
"through active panicipation in the
association I will find new stimulation
ror my own work and will be able to
bring greater distinction to the university."

IIIIIIYIII.... wllll llroad !•terata
In advising Price or his dection to

m~mbership, Harris pointed out that the

U.S. Associatinn is "panicularly interested in the indi"idual who is wining
to look beyond the boundaries or his or
her professional discipline, experience or
background, and share in dialogue on
interdisciplinary, systemic approaches to
major natinll!l and international problems."
The U.S. AssOciation, with headquaners in Washington, D.C., was
previously limited to I SO members, but
is now aiming ror a membership or 500.
The natinnal membership includes persons engaged in vinually all facets or

"1be wdl-being or present and future

"The United S!Jtes, because or its
wealth and power, ltas a special responsibility and opportunity ror leadenhip."
The Oub or Rome remains an informal, international orp.nization with a

Manqemeut Professor C . Carl Pegels
was ~ or a teu-man delegation or experts who visited China in September at
the invitation of the Chinese govern-

ment.
The official riame of the delegation
was "Industrial Planners and Economic
System Engineers.'' a semewhat vague
title that could "include a lot of
P.OOPie," Pegels reponed.
The visit was organized lind conducted in China by Youxie, a government ageucy concerned with establishing
and rilaintaining .friendship ties with
foreign nations and their nationals. In
the U.S., the U.S.-China Peoples
Friendship- Association coordinated.
Purj!ose of the visit, Pegels said, was
to enable delegation members to view
China first-hand and to provide exchanges of technical, economic and
managerial knowledge between delegation members and staff members of
Chinese industrial plants, universities

and government economic bureaus.
"Since the government · of China
funded
expenses of the delegation
while in China, being a member of the
tour was attractive," Pegels noted.
However, all other expeuses, including
travel to and' from C::hina, · were the
responsibiUty of the "delegation member.
From the Cbinese point of view, "they
had the use of group of technical and
eco11omic experts for a period of three
weeks at a relatively low cost and at zero
foreign exchange cost to them," he ex·
plained.
The delegation consisted of eight
educators (university) -and two indi~iduals from private industry.
One of the partici~nts had been in
China withil} ·the past year as pan· of a
University delegation and one, a Chinese
native, had left China in 1948.

The cldegation made 25 visits to industrial plan~ . and universities, and
made presentations to staff members of
various.qcncies. Visits al-ys included
one or more presentations by one or
more of the delegation members on a
topic of his el~P_eftise and of interest to
the Chinese. To cover the 25 visits, the
delegation frequently .broke up in groups
of two or three. Each delegate attended

and the Harbin l~~Jtitute of "J:echnology

also toured a large petroebemjcal plant

formerly Maocburia. The plant employs
11.;000 workers 'and has its own training ·
school for technic:ians -beyond the high ·
school level. Also on his itinerary was a
machine tool factory in Shenyang which
expons ~t 10 per cent of its output.

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

Ever since the canals, or channels, of
Mars were first described by Italian
astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli in
1877, they have stimulated the imaginations of Earthlings who attempted to explain their origin.
Percival Lowell (1855-1916), a U.S.
astronomer who established the LoweU
Observ.a tory in _Flagstaff, Arizona, insisted that t'he canals were "the work of
intelligent beings who built them to irrigate their dying planet with water from
melting polllr caps. ·
It wasn'\ until 1965, with the first
detailed pictures beamed back to Earth
from Mariner 4, that Lowell's theory
was fioaUy put to r~t. Mariner proved
conclusively that the Martian channels
in reality bore no resemblance to the
ordered system of straight channels
observed-or imagined-by LQwell.
Tile debate Hqen
But tbe debate over the Martian channels isn't over yet. Space scientists now
agree they were not built by intelligent
beings but were gouged into the Martian
landscape by natural forces; they don't
agree, though, on just which nat~ral
forces were rdponsible.
"It's very controversial," Baerbel
Lucchitta, an astra-geologist with the
U.S. Geolosical Survey in Flagstaff,
commented. She was one of about 60
scientists in Niagara Falls attending the
Third Colloquium on Planetary Water
last week sponsored by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) and U/B's Center for Cold
Regions Engineering, Science and
Technology and . Departmeill of
Geological Sciences.
Duwayoe Ande.-.on, dean of the
Faculty of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, chaired the coUoquium.
Anderson has been credited with being
the first scientist to state the case for the
ellistence of frozen soils on Mars. In
1972, he was on one of the fii'St scientific
teams to analyze Viking data to look for
water.
"It was as a result of his theories that
this coUoquium series got started,''
Stephen E. Dworoik, a U/B alumnus
who recently retired as chief planetary
geologist for NASA, pointed out.
"Anderson's was a lone voice for a long
time, but time proved he was right."

Waler or Ice!
Dwomik is among scientists who believe
that features such as the Martian chan-

nels could have been. formed only by
running water. Others feel ice or wind
may have been the cause.
"ln mathematical terms, it would take
too much ice or wind to have carved
them," Dwornik argues in behalf of his
theory.
Anderson and Lucchitta disagree.
Last year they collaborated on a study
which contends that the Martian channels were carved by ice. Their theory is
supported, Lucchitta said, when t me

Landsat images of Earth .
"The big long grooves in the Martian
terrain on \he channel floors are almost
identical to what's under glacial ice in
terrestrial ~&lt;;as.'.' shpjated. ·~When we
saw the Landsat 1m ages of Alaska at th•s
meeting two years ago, Anderson
pointed out that icc rises in Antarctica
are similar to the same islands seen in
Martian channels."
Lucchitta noted that, "The morphological comparison indicating the
channels were sculptured by ice sheets is
very convincing and theor.etically per~
missable," but admitted that, " the
details are difficult to work out . .,
_
The '" details" include an explanation ...
of how the Martian ice could move since
the. gradients of the channe~ ate very .
low and the gravity is only one-third of
Earth's
·
Water theories have problems, too
"But the ruhning water thC9ries also
have problems," she added. "If the
channels were caused by.rqnpigg ·wJllet, ·
you would need not just running water
but e.-mous floods. The only way to
get such floods. is if an enormous lake
overflows. But how do you get that
much water out of Mars? You just can't
have a lake that big."
Lucchitta feels that.whichever process
is involved, it is "probabl¥" continuing
now, although scientists are not sure of
that. It's stiU an nope.n question" as to
whether there was a drastic climatic
change on Mars, and if there was, why it
·
occurred.
"We reaUy don't know what happened to the ice," Lucchitta said, "or when
the channels were carved. One person
here feels there is a wide spread in channel ages, others feel maybe they're all
fairly old. I tend to feel they are not that
youna."
The answers to these questions have
important implications for problems on
Earth, Lucchita pointed out.
"Earth has a very delicate climatic
balance which could easilY. go out of
sync," she noted. "'If we go over a cer·
lain threshhold, we may lose it. If we
could find out what happened on Mars,
and why, we might be able to apply it to
our oWn planet.''

and the committee.
Outraged
I was correclly quoted as being outraged
by the committee's report. That goes
beyond disagreement, or even flat
disagreemenl. The further problem is as
follows . In politics and law, and in a
somewhat different way in medicine, an
analogous commingling of personal and
professional relations is deemed to result
in a connict of interest and to be
unethical. Perhaps the committee can
make the case that it is right for university faculty to act in ways analogous to
what is unethical in other professions.
Bul !t is outrageous to present their
recommendations with bland innocence,
as if they had never heard of conniclS or
interest, or professional codes or ethics,
or or academic scandal and corruption .
Since instruction is a hierarchical relationship in which the panies have unequal rank and power, the ethical problems seem lo be similar 10 those in
medicine, law, and politics. A report on
this subject which ignores this crucial
consideration seems unworthy to be
presented to the Senate, and is, I submit,
a fit W'get for indipation.
I hope I hal reflection on these matte"'
will revive the nerve of your unoerved
correspondenl.

agenda ·
at ~Executi-ve .committee
With general education being a top
agenda item at Tuesday's Faculty Senate
meeting, and perhaps for the rentainder
of the year, it's no wonder "Over three·:
quarters of the last Executive Coirurritteemeeting was devoted to the topic.
As reported in last · Thursday's
R~port~r. DUE Dean John "Peradotto
indicated he would go alo!IB .with the
recommendation of t)le OcO.'.Ed. Com,
millee to implemenl Pbase'J II of his
alternative plan in the Fall of '82. The
second • hal( of the recommendation,
however, was· tenned "unrealistic" by
the dean. That is, that full implementaJion of the GE program, as originally
passed by the • t e last year, be instituted two years later, in the fall of
1984.
Bob Cerveny, ~hairrnan or the task
force which produced the GE Implementation Report (see insert in last week' s
Reportu), reminded the Committee that
a 1984 deadline for full implementation
wouldn't give Peradotto's model a
chance for a four-year run, making it
diffiCUlt to accurately assess course
enrollment shifts and cutting time
available to react to any "problems" or
"effects" which might arise.

Even with the watered-down Peradotto option, Management Professor John
Boot stiU estimated that by 19&amp;S, S &amp; BS
would have about IS fewer lines.
Boot also told the Committee he interpreted the data to mean that areas with
substalitial plus ligures (fable 9) should
be "flcK.iblc enough to deliver courses
which can be counted as GE offerings in
other faculties ." Because of the enrollment shifts, Boot emphasized that af.
fected faculties muSt be prepared to
"devote a disproportionate amount of
their resources., to either delivering GE
courses or developing them.

�Students vs .. Racism
want to build unity

Nursing 'angels' must
get political, Smith says
By MARY BETH SPINA
Editorilll A5SOCicltr,

Het~llll

Sdm«s

Nurses-those "angels of mercy" -are
rebeHing and publicly complaining
about their economic and professional
status and lack or input into the health
, care system( Dr. E. Dorsey Smith, a
nationally-known author and nursing
educator, said here Friday.
Speaking as a Distinguished Nursing ·
Lecturer sponsored liy the School or
Nursing, Dr. Smith maintained that
changes will occur only if nurses
acknowledge their femininity and
become more involved in strategies used
successfully by the women's movement.
Despite the fact that nurses outnumber physicians, they are seldom involved in health policy decision-making,
partly because of efforts to keep them
dumb, divided and down, she said.
"There are those who believe higher
education and nursing are not a very
good mix and that educatins nurses
(past a point) only makes nursing care
more expensive without necessarily making it. better," said Dr. Smith. Th~ old
idea of "divide and conquer," displayed
so effc:clively by nursing with its various
levels within the profession, bas helped
keep nurses "down" so they can'teffect
changes in their own status or in patient
care, she charged.
A. . . . . ._
"We learned to be selness, altruistic
ansds of mercy. But, one New York City nurse, carrying a picket sign during a
recent strike told a reporter, •I am not an
angel of mercy-I am a human being.' "
Dr. Smith related, "and so we are
human beinp f"ust."
Nurses have nor benetitted'as much as
have women in other jobs and professions from recent social change, she
said.
"A diqram-developed elsewhere
- shows that womell change, society
changes and then, nursing changes. But
tOI'dber nurses can join with women to
work for changes in.so ·
" Dr. Smith
sugested.
"Florence Nightingale did much to
advance nursing, but she bas _ . been
partly to blame for the way iii' which
nurses have effc:clively been excluded

from taking more active roles in health
care decision-making over the years.' '
Dr. Smith pointed out. Nightingale felt
women needed training to become
nurses, but that the purpose or that
training was to teach them to follow
orders of physicians and surgeons.
Admittedly, Nightingale was a product of the Victorian era in which
women didn't ordinarily work outside
the home. If they ha!,lto work, though,
nursing was a socially acceptable
employment. "Florence thought one
coukl not ask more of a nurse than of a
mother," said Dr. Smith.
.
Even the uniforms and hats worn
traditionally by nurses have been symbolic of their "obedience." Uniforms
have typically been reserved to those in
the military and religious orders, other
milieus in which obedience is everything.
"It is typical-and regrettable-that
when the issue of a suspected link bet·
ween tampon use and toxic shock syndrome was brought to the public's atten·
tion, it was by someone other than
nurses, 97 per cent of whom are
women,'' Dr. Smith complained.
N•nes llaoe reacted, •ot led
"It has been nurSing's role in the past to
react to change-not to effect it," she
emphasized. And there is irony, she added inJhe fact that, until recently, nurses
s~wed little or no interest in working
with women's groups who wanted to
learn more about health care.
"Only in the mid-1970s did nurses
begin to open up to provide care for
women in areas not related solely to the
reproductive system. And, it should be
added, that nursing was NOT in the
forefront of leadership in the women's
health care movement previously."
Some have said that recruiting more
men into the predominantly female nur·
sing profession will elevate nurses
because "men will save us," Dr. Smith
noted. But men in nursing, she pointed
out, are likelier to end UJI in decisionmaking positions than lheir female
counterparts.
•
''Nurses must become more politicaUy
active if they are to achieve their rightful
status in health care," Dr. Smith
believes.

SUNY wants budget hike
of $140 million despite
State's projected shortfall
Faced with unceasing inflationary pri~e
spirals, retroactive salary increases a~d
its highest undergraduate enrollment m
history, SUNY is seeking 5903.4 million
in State funds to suppon its operations
in fiscal 1981-82. The figure compares·
with 5747.9 million appropriated for the
current year.
The requested sum, together with
5127 million of its own revenues, would
bring the total operating budget for
SUNY's 34 State-operated or funded
campuses to 51.03 billion, an increase of
51~.7 million or lS.8 per cent over
1980-81.
The recommended budget was approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees
at its October meeting.
Donald M. Blinken, chairman of the
Board, acknowledged that the requested
increase in funding was substantial in
view of the State's serious fiscal problems.
"The Board is aware of the revenue
shortfalls faced by the State," Blinken
said, "but it also must realistically address the needs of the State University.
The Board asked the Chancellor to submit a recommendation that was an accurate representation of the Univcrsity1 s
true financial condition ."
Unavoidable costs
Chancellor Clifton R. Whanon, Jr.,
said the recommendation met the requirement for an honest assessment of
what is needed to meet the demands of
- unavoidable cost increases and higher
enrollments and to preserve academic
quality.
"Almost 8S per cent of the increase
requested is inOexible and is mandated

control," he said.

In addition to the operating budget, the
Trustees approved a 1981-82 capital construction request of 5163.4 million for
the State-operated campuses. Of the
total, 5109.6 million is in first-instance
appropriations which will be repaid the
State from tuition income. A total of
5S3 .8 million in direct, "hard dollar"
suppon is sought for major and minor
rehabilitation work, plus $4. 1 million in
access projects for the physically handicapped.
Wharton pointed out that the University's construction budgets renect the
University's efforts to complete the construction of necessary physicial facilities
at newer or "emerging" campuses {see
separate story for U/B request). No new
major construction projects are planned
for the established campuses.
Last year the University requested
capital construction support of 5124
million and receiiiCd 547 million.
The budget actions by the Trustees
capped an intensive internal review
period which begins each year in early
summer when individual campuses come
to Alb&amp;lly for budget hearings with Central Admlnist;.tion Staff.
· After the 'hearings, the campus requests· are incorporated into Universitywide budgets which the Trustees formally act upon in October.

The SUNY budgets will now be
transmitted to the State Diyision of the
Budget where they will be reviewed and
incorporated into the &lt;;Jovernor_'s Executive Budget. The Governor-will present that budget document for review by
the State Legislature next January.

GE meeting
on Nov. 18
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
RqJOrter St4/f

A special meeting of the Faculty Senate
has been · called for November 18 to
decide whether or not P.hase lll of DUE
Dean John Perado.tto's modified GE
plan should be implemented in the fall of
1982.
Addressing the Faculty Senate Tuesday the Dean said he tried to devise a
pla~ that called for as "linle reallocation
of resources as possible" while "maintaining -the academic justifications" of
the plan originally passed by the Senate
last year.
Any change as " profound" as GE is
bound to involve some risk-taking,
Peradotto acknowledged. He feels,
however, that recent reports regarding
the amount of resource reallocation are
"exaggerated" and based mo~e on
"'paranoid fear" than fact.

Campus vlsiton this week induded:
Mark Russell who lampooned the
political candidates during his regular
quarterly appearance live coast-to-coast

might have been a sad last hurrah into a

nouncm1ent on foreign policy, to the ,
delight of an overnow crowd in .
O'Brian's Moot Courtroom; Maggie
Kuhn, national Gray Panther leader,
who urged the elderly to take a more active role politically; 60s activist Stokeley
Carmichael who talked to the Black Student Union about Pan-Afrl kanism; and
a clown and a ~lOuse who helped a student on Halloween at the Office of Student Accounts.

Opens up freedom
Because his plan reduces the number of
requirements for all students, Peradotto
P!linted out that, if implemented, it
i.lould eliminate any need for ' ' adjusted
plans" for professional schools. In addition, the Dean feels his model "opens-up
elective freedom ." A big complaint
about the plan passed by the Senate last
year, he recalled, was that it significantly
reduced elective c!ioice.
GEC Committee Chairman Peter Hare
said more GE courses, particularly in the
areas of natural sciences and math, have
to be on the books in order for Phase lll
implementation to be successful.
To date, he noted, several departments, such as Anthro, Geography and
Classics, have proposed courses in
knowledge areas outside tire one in which
they fall. Hare, Peradotto and Implementation Task Force Chair Robert
Cerveny indicated that the more departments do this, the less they will feel
enrollment shifts.
As for the themes and alternative core
proposals, Hare relayed that, as yet, little progress has been made. He emphasized, however, that the Gen Ed
Committee is ''determined'' to see these
two components developed.
Speaking for the GE &lt;;ommittee,
Hare expressed displeasure that the
Math SkiDs component won't be implemented this September. A meeting
has been arranged with the VP AA to
discuss the matter, be said.

Senator Parker Calkin then expressed
concern about the advisability of
"tamperina with" science courses in
order to have them included in GE. Instead of the sciences creatioa special
courses for the program, Calkin suggested that the GE panel approve the
ones already listed since they represent
the best efforts of the departments. lf
new courses are created to appeal to a
~roader mix or students, he feared that
the sciences would be too watered down.
Responding, Hare indicated that the
_GE ~Committee is firmly . opposed to
diluting the sciences, and if fact, has rejected cou.rse proposals they felt did this.
On the other hand, Hare maintained

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

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.- When the
orbit of Halley's Comet brings it near
the Eanh in 1986, scientists around the
world will be monitoring it closely by
means of highly technical instrumentation SC"nt out into space..
. Researchers in Japan, Russia, France
and several other countries are already
planning these missions. But one major
power won't be there for the rendezvous-the United States.
More than 60 scienlists from across
the country who are gathered here for
the Third Colloquium on .Pialtdary
Water are concerned that the U.S. scientists will miss this opportunity to study
the famouS comet, whose visits 10 the
Earth every 76 years have been
documented since 240 a.,c.
Calculations have identirted it with a
larae comet seen during the Nonnan
Conquest in England in 1066 which was
illustrated in tbe Bayeux Tapestry. The
comet greeted Mark Twain at bis binh in
183S, and said good-bye when it ap.-ral apin in 1910 at tbe time of the
author's death.

"The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) has a comet
rendezvous mission under consideration, but current budgetary difficulties
in the U.S. make it impossible tl)at this
mission will be approyed," Dr.
Duwayne Anderson, dean of U/B's .
Faculty . of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics who is a consultant to the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said. Anderson is coordinator of the colloquium
jointly spoliSO&lt;ed by NASA and U/B.
"This is a matter of great concern to
the... scientirte comm1,1nity involved in
space reseal')'h, and to this group in particular .. he added. '
· ··~ Aniericans will l&gt;e the only major scientir.c community in the world
not to •show up' at Halley's Comet ~ u
Fraser Fanale of the University of
Hawaii and the JPL, ootdl. "Most of
the other countries will perceive this as
evidence that the U.S. cannot do it, or at
least as a loss of will on the part of our
lcdmolosical community. This will be
IMd, a real turning point for the U.S."
Flmclin&amp; DIUSI l&gt;e llpiii'OV&lt;d itL next
year's 1Judaet if tbe U.S. is to launch a
urcascmable"' scientirac expedition to

meet the comet, Fanale added.

More tltaa a loss of race
Everett Gibson of the Lyndon B.

Johnson Spacecrafl Center in Houston,
Texas, explained that a rendezvo us '"·ith
Halley's Comet means more than just a
loss of face to U.S. scientists.
" We need to understand the re31m we
live in. how we evolved, " he said .
"We've learned more about lhe Earth
by stud yi ng lunar rock s obtained from
our manned missions ro the Moon than
we had previously. We obtained a radiation history of the Earth from those
rocks.'"
Gibson, who waS on the research team
that analyzed soil samples ta ken from
the Moon by Apollo 16, added that
scientists have concluded that there were
remnants of pieces of a comet which had
crashed against the Moon among the
samples.
He also explained that S&lt;.;entists
believe Earth was once hit by a ''piece"
of a comet which caused great devastation in an isolated northern area of
Russia in the early part of this century.
Trees were felled for miles in a gigantic
explosion, which. strangely. lefl no remnants for analysis.
lnterprelations of the event have ranged from the explosion of a nuclear
spaceship from anoLher world to a
meteor hitting Earth. The most accepted
explanation now is that a comet hit.

"Unfortunately, wit h the state of
world politics, such a gigantic. unexplained explosion today might be interpreted by nervous world leailers as the
unleashing of an atomic weapon," Gibson warned.
This is another reason scientists want
to learn as much as poS&amp;ible about lhe
orbits and composition of these unique
heavenly bodies.
But why should those whose main interests are the presence or water on
planetary bodies be interested?
.. The nucleus of a comet is, we
believe, made up or ices with silicate

.. whi le the tail is made up of icy particles
blown back from I he nucleus by ..solar

know what to expect.
On the other hand, Reagan is trying to
compensate for this "fear of the
unknown" by increasing his national ex·
• posur~ via the debate and a stepped-up
schedule of TV ads. Both; he thinks, will
emphasize his appeal.
As the election draws closer.
Goldhaber is certain Carter's media
wizardS will. rely more and more on ads

portrayingJtim as deliberative, reassuring and COmpetent, while at the same
time making use of symbols reinforcing
his Presidential stature-Air Force One
and the Oval Office, for example.
By contrast, Carter will allempt to
picture Reagan as rash, simplistic and
inexperienced.

~

On the Oip side, Reagan will depict
himself as strong, decisive and direct,
and Characterize Carter as weak, indecisive and ineffectual.

As far as Goldhaber is concerned,
Reagan still corners the market in
"charisrrta," ·a variable h~ considers imponant in determining electoral vicJories. What's~ so unappealing· ·about
Carter? For one thing, Goldhaber says,
he "sloucheS." Besides that, he aPpears

Besides lacking in basic charisma, the

A policy of "disseminating some repon

Bonnie Bullough, dean of Nursing, and

however, lhat .. precautionary steps" be

adding that, " it is, of course, expected

Likewise before any public release, the
faculty of the affected unit will receive
by prior distribution all material to be

These steps, said the panel, should "provide reasonable protection from any
harm that .,;;J,t come ... and do not
diminish the 6tue of the documents to
the public." In any event, this type: of
derogatory material is exempt from the
Freedom of Information law. The
panel "would [also) encourage the President to use this exclusionary exemption
for information related to small groups
of individuals (small depanmenu or administrative offices) where information
on or comments directed at the collective

individuals."
Most accreditation agencies (Social
Work, Music, ·Management, · SILS,

to the University, the panel reported.
Architecture is required to "release its

Grad education &amp; resea.rch

new VP for both points out
As the University's first vice president
for research and graduate education,
.Dr. Donald W. Rennie holds a position
which U/ 8 has been considering
establishing for at least five years.
It's not a new concept, notes Rennie.
Many of the stronger research universities have had a similar organizalioaal
pattern "with varying success" (or I S-ill
years. Within SUNY, w&lt; are the last of
the University centers to adopt it.
U/8 was rolativoly late in embracing
th&lt; combination of graduate and .
research responsibilities because some
faculty fell strongly that such a concentration of responsibilities couldn 'I be
brought log&lt;lh&lt;r in a single porson or
offic&lt;. Others fell it shouldn 'I be.
Deolnoble on sevenol &lt;OUnts
The arrangement appeared desirable to
still others on several counts: Resea rch

research interests which are inlegra l to
their studies, and play a crucial role in
faculty research. Grad student stipends,
training labs and lab equipment are p rovided largely and in som&lt; cases solely by
rosean:h funds . Research interests
aenerat~ confereaces and semi~s
wllicll play 3D essential role in graduate
education. The hirin&amp; and training of
postdoctoral fellows is· yet aDOiher element of mutual inter&lt;Sl. In short, said
Rennie, " all kinds of interconnections
exist."
There exists, too, a need to put the .
University's research mission squarely
into the context of graduate education,
and not simply allow it to grow unfettered ... This is not a research institute,"
Rennie reminded, "but an educational
institution wher~ rc;search is part of a
llit&amp;,er' rc:SP&lt;)nSib1lity irivo)vlng graduate
·s,~Udeiii"/raCu)ty · dev,eloprpen1 . ~ nd
Univer-Sity-service.''
The late Graduate School Dean Gil
Moore looj&amp;d into the pros and cons of
combinint""the two functions a few years
ago, but conclud&lt;d that while it would
not be impossible, it seemed more
desirable to him at least to keep th e
functions separate.'
As a result , a search for a research
viae president was undertaken last year.
Rennie was active in that search and had
"no trouble with it," although he
h'imself favored combining the posts.
For various reasons, those considered
for research VP either didn 't make the
.grade or had " asking prices well beyond
what a public university could afforc!."
The question of merging the posts was
then returned to the graduate dean.
Afler seeking and considering advice
from both administration and faculty,
Rennie-who became graduate dean last
spring-was persuaded "to give it a
go. "
Rennie has been a member. of the
research faculty since 1957, serving as an
investigator or-co-investigator of at least
one project for each of the past 23 years.
He knows what works and what doesn ' t,
is familiar witb Ihe grants system, and
has had personal experience in graduate
studenl-research interactions.
The blending of responsibilities
became effective earlier this month .
At this stage, Rennie said in an interview last we&lt;k, he is dealing with the
reality of two well-staff&lt;d, competent
offices (one for research and one for
gradual~ education), each-of which carries out ostablish&lt;d policies and procedures " very well, indeed." That's a
plus on which h&lt; intends to capitalize.

tions," in I he development o f which he
is pledged to work closely with faculty,
siUdents and staff. "I'm comfortable
wilh this." Rennie said, "and I hope the
faculty will be. In no way do I intend to
run away from the responsi bilities of
graduate dean." The division of labor
simply serves " to Lalit a lillie of lhf day..
to-day heat off."
.
Tile research side
On the research side, the new vice president has ask&lt;d former acting VP Robert
Fitzpatrick , whom he describes as
"'trained, experienced, and compe1en1,"
to in effect ·continue doing wha1 he has
be&lt;n doing. Fitzpatrick will be Renn ie's
"surrogate" in mauers hav ing to do
with solicitation of sponsored research,
in negotiations with resea rch sponsors,
and in assisting fac ult y""7 particu larly in·
ex perienced , yo un ger facult y-in
preparation of research proposa ls.
Fitzpatrick will a lso have, in Renn ie' s
name, responsibility for assuring thai
commitments of University resources
(space, equipment, a nd staff] to sponsored research do not resuh in overcom·
mitments. Fitzpatrick will sec to i1 also
that policies and regulations of both the
Universi ty and research sponsors are
carried out. Rennie w~l seek additional
professional and secretarial staff fo r
Fitzpatrick to enable him to carry ou t hi duties uat a level commensurate wilh his
professionalism.,.
Research concerns which require a
more aggressive stance will come under
Rennie's purview. He will, for example.
investigate the possibility of shift ing the
reporting relationships o f some activilies
and units presently housed within the
Graduate School. The Nuclear Research
Facility and the ad ministration of BRSG
funds are two operations now repo rting
to Lhe gradu8te dean which may well
reporr diiedly to the vice president in
the future.
Rennie will also explore che concept o f
bringing several cenl ers, labs and in·
stitules, now more or less free-s tanding,
under the administralive umbrella of the

&lt;ducation. Admiu&lt;dly, he says, such explorations will .. take time and delicate
decision-making," in volving the P residenl a nd other vice presidents and ad ministrators.

Privllt support
More can be and should be done to attract privale funding for University
research and at the same ti me to fulfill
the ,privale sector's need for graduate
employee training, Rennie believes. U/ B
has the facult y, laboratories and expe rtise thai could be of value to high
technology industries and other busi ness
organizations, and should investiga te
possi ble relationships, he said . " I sec
nothing' wrong wilh it," said the ~ew
vice president - only benefits. Other
universities are similctrly engaged. And
the State Department of Commerce is
quite interested in encouraging high
technology industry. "We should play a
leadership role, " said Rennie, recommending that we examine oplions "more
tho·roughly, but with caution~."
U/8, Rennie notes, has traditionally
been a leader in dealings with both
SUNY Central and the SUNY Research
Foundation on mailers of research
policy. Acting VP Fitzpatrick has often
show&lt;d the way through his "quiet
powers of persuasion ." Rennie intends
to get U/8 more closely identifi&lt;d with
both agencies. "It's no accident." he
says, that he has been appoint&lt;d to the
Board of Directors of th~ Research
An admiaistnotlve olean
Foundation, the group responsible for

with no further concern on their pan .
Somewhere belwcen that ideal and having to wait six months for a piece of
eq uipment to be installed. though, is
"where we'll probaOl y end up," the new
research VP predicted.
Rennie wants to work through and
wilh admin is rrarOrs responsible for
research support functions 10 assure
himself and faculty tha t thi ngs are being
done at peak efficiency. If that 's not
enough, he'll work to change the system
so it will be more effective. " If that
means political persuasion" at the state
level. he's prepared to engage in it.
"Any way we can get responsibilities
delegated for quick decision , we' ll do
so," he pledges. But he "promises no
Rose Garden ." " We' re bound by the
State Finance Law ," he pointed out.
That' ~' a fact of life researchers have to
li ve with .
Faculty research level is good
One thing Rennie will no t do is act as a
cheerleader to " stimu late." " persuade," or ~jole" fac ult y to get more
in volved in making gra m a pplica tions
for federal fund s. Thin. in his view,
wo uld be both "irreleva nt and Immateria l." U/ 8 faculty are willing
e_!lough , the vice .... resident said , despite

assertions some have made to the contrary . The level of lhe fac ulty's research
activit y is good. he assessed . Somewhere
between 600 and 700 proposals arc processed each year. many involving more
than one individ ual. If Only one out of
three is funded . that ' s the ris k you take.
Fo r some time now , both facult y and
administration have felt a need for a
facu lt y voice a1 lhe.rop JeveJs of the U / 8
research efforr. for someone from fac..--ulry rank s with whom researchers can
identify. To the extent, he can, Rennie
intends to be just that person.
How well he succeeds, he notes. will
have 10 be evaluated in due course. An
advocate of thorough administrative
evaluation (something he feels th b institution has not distinguished itself in),
Rennie would .. volu nteer to be the first
to come under such scrUliny ."
The forthcoming Middle States accredilation, to be focu sed on graduate
ed ucation and researc h, will provide the
opportuni ty for just such a review._
··we' ll learn from ourselves in the
process of putting together the selfstudy' ' precedi ng the accred itors ' visit in
1982, Rennie said. " We' ll probably
learn more than they will.
.. If any office ever had 1he opportunity to shape-up or ship out within a short
span of time. it will' be this Qne. " he

Dual-career
families are
study topic
With ovtr half of America's wives
now in the labor fo rce and 90 per cent
predicted 10 be there by 1990, business
and industry are starting to hunger for
some data on just how this phenomenon
affects thei r employees.
Information on dual·career marriages
is particularly licniftcanl since il can
potentially affect company policies on
transfers, plaa:ment, and promotion,
and general organizational behavior.
Without a systematic approach 10 the
retrieval of such data, people tend lo
draw their own (often erroneous) conclusions about the emergence of women
in the job market and also lo ~r~luale
IJ1tl hs which can stymie upward mobiliQfor women.
- Most current literat ure on the subject
focuses on its impact on marriage, bul
this summer, U/ B management professor Cynthia Fukami and I~
graduate students completed a st udy
which sheds light on how dual-career
marriages affecf both home and job.
2S2respGIIdottts
Fukami pulled the information from
data she gathered four years aao while
investigating soxliM stereotyping. T~
first data se1 iav""'-l 2S2 married
respondents who answtred a mail
survey. The respondents, all students in
the evening MBA program at Northwestern, showed a wide range of occupations, as did their spouses.
The second sample included mail
survty responses from 40 married
employees of a "Big 8" reaional CPA
office.
In both samples, jbb status of Husband and wife was measured by looking
al differences in job complexity (as
measured. by a rating scheme from the
·u.s: . taiXSf Depai'lm~riiJ ' and ' occupational categories. The sample drawn
from the ·cPA firm was also analyzed
for differences in career stage develoPment.
Fukami wanted to discover whether
any congruence, or difference in these
areas would affect job and work outcomes. Analysis showed that women in
occupations rated more complex than
lhei r spouses' were less satisfied with
their jobs than women who held equal or
less complex jobs than their husbands.
Theorizing on the outcome, Fukami
attribules the dissatisfaclion to the fact
that women, now breaking ground in
high status and complex jobs, are
generally ill-prepared for them, both in
terms of training and in dealing wilh the
social pressure of a society reluclant to
accept women in status occupations.
so-llling gives
In the CPA sample, Fukami found thai
employees in the same occupation areas
as their spouses were less psychologically
involved in leisure time activities with
their mates. This may indicate, Fukami
notes, thai when both husband and wife
are involved in demanding jobs,
"something has to give" and what does
is leisure time activity.
As far as career stage dovelopmenl,
Fukami's rtsults show that when
husbands and wives are in the same
stage, both leisure time bthavior and
work altitudes can be neaatively affected .
The reason, Fukami speculates, is thai
when a husband and wife are in the same
stage of career development a more
competitive situation txists, in which
both individuals need the same emolional suppon and access to resources at
the same timt.
The results also indicate thai
employees in dual career situations may
also be more unlikely to create lies with
one company because of uncenainty
over their spouses' career moves .

Floss
Between the Times'
and the AP,
he's on the run
The photograph at the top of page C3 in
this week's SportsMonday section of
The New York Times shows an impending collision between Shane Nelson of
the Buffalo BiUs and Don Calhoun of
the Boston Patriots during Sunday's
fa&lt;!tball game at Rich Stadium. Splash·
ed across four columns, the photo bears
only the anonymous credit line:
Associated Press.
The photographer responsible for the
shot is U/B senior Dennis Floss, no
stranger to the Times and other national
publications. A stringer for AP in Buffalo, Floss covers the Bills and the
Sabres, political candidates, and other
feature assignments .
Floss, who started in photography
about four years ago, was also a member
of a group known as "Olympix," which
provided photos for major clients from
the 1980 Olympics at lake Placid. Two
or his color shots-one or nags flying
over the Olympic Village and another of
Russian athletes checking in-were
reproduced in color in Time. His work
also showed up in a full page spread in
the Tehran Daily News. He didn ' t have
the slightest idea what the captions said
because it's an Arabic language
newspaper, but there were his Olympic
shots surrounded by the unfamiliar type.
His photos have appeared in the
Boston Globe and Herald-American,
and in the dailies of most major cities
whose hockey and football teams play in
Buffalo.
At Bills games, Floss reveals, he ordinarily shoots the first quarter action,
then runs upstairs to the top of the
stadium where a portable darkroom has
been set up. After developing the film,

About 30 to 40 per cent or Floss's re·
cent assignments have been on the 1980
Presidential campaign beat. These, he
reports, have been relath•ely uneventful
except for some jostling with the Secret
Service to gel close to the candidates.
Most of a -candidate's time is spc:nr
speaking at a podium, something that
doesn'tleod itself to lively photographs.
To get that different slant which wiU
command national attention, Floss has
been '"ppayms on political sisns" which
are traditionally displayed behind a
podium. His prize •hot was a J&gt;rOfilc or

banner. That got a lot of play nationally, Floss repor'fs.

quicker but perhaps not as creative, he
suggests. Television provides a runn ing
picture of an event, even though edited
down to a 30-second or one minuce spot.
Tne photo journalist, Floss contrasts,
has to come up with the one picture that
captures the essence of a story.
Having worked as an intern at the
Co11ri6-Express, Floss prefers a wire
service. At AP, you go out only on big
stories. A local paper has assignments,
.such as the local garden club tea and the
record-setting blood donor, which aren't
as interesting or as much or a challenge.

The University Sponsor Program,
designed and developed by Y,e Division
of Student Affairs, attempts to
hurhanize the University experience by
matching freshmen saudents with a
faculty or staff sponsor. The goal is 10
provide a personal rou~.:h for both student and sponsor.
According to Rowena Adams Jones.
ir.s coordinator, the program in no way
attempts to have a sponsor serve as an
academic advi sor or professional
counselor, bur is intended as a personal
or social contact. Interaction between
student and sponsor may include a coffee break on cam pus, lunch on or orr
campus, phone CO ntaCIS, Or sharing a "*
family meal or cultural activity. The extent of invol\'ement is up to the indi\'idual s.
Ms. Jones is en rhusiastic about the
growth and development of the Program . With the assistance of Joyce A .
Pion, Student Affairs graduate assistant , several innovations arc underwa)'
this year. she report s.
A genera l meeting with all sponsors

earlier than last year.
Over 3,000 freshmen signed up for 1he
program at Summer Orientation. Ms.
Jones reports that 10 date over 300
st udent s have been contacrcd and approximatel y 60 matches between
students and sponsors have been made. •
Many faculty and st.aff partici pating are
sponsori ng more than one student. Contacting st udent s aod matching them with
sponsors will conrinue throughout the

Tough
Controversial editor of med journal
admits to being that, but claims
not to strangle flow of informatiOIJ
By MARY BETH SPINA
Editoritll Assodctlt, Htollh &amp;knees

It's not useful, helpful or constructive
fo r investigators to release results of
research to the public before a st udy has
been sufficiently evaluated through peer
, review, charges Dr. Amold Reiman,
editor or the prestigious New England
Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Reiman, interviewed following
the Harrington Lect ure he delivered at
the U/ B School or Medicine last week,
says that while there is great pressure for
researchers to publicize their work and

be done in a responsible manner.
.. Some research results in fa lse starts;

don't pan out," Dr. Reiman points out.
.. Medical research as well as clinical
and laboratory investigations yield a sea
or information.- o nly some or which
will stand the test or timi•" he cautions.
For this reason, he believes evaluation
of research by an investigator's peers,
particularly through the selective process
of publication in scientific journals, is
important before results are announced
in the mass media.
Dr. Reiman defends the Journal's
well-known policy or refusing to print
research articles if they have had prior
publicatipn - a policy which has been
assailed particularly by the news media
and by some researchers.
Time magazine has charged that that
policy tends to ''strangle the flow or
medicaJ news." Others claim it " holds
medical research hostage at the expense
of medical journalism. "
Misinterpreted
" Our policy is not iron-clad and has
been subject td misinterpretation," he
claims. He notes the Journal does not
exclude articles simply on the basis that
some or the research has appeared in
print elsewlfere.
" We realize investigators must present their research at scientific meetings,
many of which are open to the news
media," says Reiman .
What the Journal does object to is
dissemination of information other than
that presented orally at a meeting, such
as data, complete manuscripts and the
like.
" If a repoM covering a meeting
merely asks th1' investigator to clarify a
point presented, the Journal would not
refuse to publish the research although
material partially appeared elsewhere,"
he explains.
Likewise, if a researcher's work deals
with a topic of an urgent nature which
the public should know about and act on

immediately, the Journal waives the
prior publication rule.
"The toxic shock syndrome and its
suspected link to some tampons is a n example or this. We do nor believe the
public should be lefl in the dark about a
genuine health risk simply because the
investigator has submitted the matenal
to us for publication."
Most research results, however, are
not of such an urgent nature and should
wait for natural peer review and evaluation, he reels.

lnaccuntte information hurts
Reiman criticizes release direclly to the
popular media of inaccu rate, unreliable
information .
··A recent article which broke in the
newspapers rega rding a hepatitis vaccine
is a case in point, " he says. The researcher had more than 100 calls fro m patients around the co untry seeking the
vaccine. Sadly, man y were term inal liver
cancer patients who had hoped the "advancement" they had read about would
prolong their lives. They were tragically
disappointed to learn otherwise.
Not heard of qoin
" Of, say 100 scientific papers presented
at meetings five years ago, about hair ·
have not been heard from since,"
Reiman points out. These either ~id not
later pass peer review or the authors felt
early results were not borne out.
"And remember, these 100 papers
were selected from many, m3.ny others,"
he adds.
ladepead011t.
Reiman prides himself on his independence, according to an article,
" My Magazine, the Doctor," in the
November, 1980 Esquire. " We' re the
only domestic journal that's open to
outspoken discussion or a full range or
issues," he was quoted as saying.
Said Esquire author Joseph P . Kahn:
" Proof of that is contained in a random sample or the subject index ror
1979. During that year the NEJM

In introducing one work. , Simons noted
that Boulanger's was "'a musical life

of a French composer and a R ~b n

modern composers. At rh e same time,
she could na\'igatc well in the slrcams of

who "knew rhe oldesl and lhe lalesl

As a teacher and music authority, she
could focus immediarely on rhc

li would be most helpful to the Pre•ident"s Commillee on the Acquisition of
Sculpture for the Amherst Campus if we could know how you feel about the
several pieces of monumental sculpture that were brought to campus last
Spring. As we indicated last year, the Commiuee felt that it was important for
the University Community tO live with and interact with several pieces of
contemporary sculpture before we made a commitment to purchase one.
In asking for your reaction s, we realize that any response to a work of an is
necessarily a personal one, motivated as much by emotional reacrions as by
aesthetic expecta~ns. We realize too ttla't the geometric abstraction of 1hese
contemporary pil""eces may not be to everyone's taste, or that the temporary
sites selected may not in every instance be ideally suilable for a permanenl insrallation. Non"etheless, we would appreciate knowing how you feel about
lhese pieces and which-if any-you would like to see I he Committee consider
for purchase. Please address your responses directly to me. Thank you.

Report of the
Task· Force on
IDlpletnentation
of· G.e neral
Education

Advantages:
(1) This model falls within the range of feasibility . Amo ng the mnclels of alternative programs illustrated in the Task Force Report . Example I approximates
the program outlined above , and offers fewesr obstacles to implementatio n .
(2) This model eliminates the possibly confusipg distinction between the so·
called "standard" program and the "adjusted" programs designed for profes. sional majors. In other words, this model provides a single. uniform Ge neral
Education program for all undergraduate students.
(3) This model opens up elective choice. A not infre quent criticism of the
onQinal plan was its elfttnnation of elective choice. especially for students major ing in certain of the professional programs . The model suggested here allows for
a measure of choice within the Kno wledge Area requ irements themselves. and .
by redudng the overall amount of such require ments, en hances elective capaci"'ty beYond General Education and major requirem ents.

(4) This model phases in the program in such a way as to encourage the
develo~ment

and submission of General Education courses. looking toward the
time , in Year. III and thereafter, when General Education require ments may be
fuHilled only from the list of approved General Education courses. It furthermore
encourages the General Education committee to insist upon th e high standards
originaUy envisaged for such courses, rather than to slight those standards o ut of
fear of insufficient supply .
There is no question but that this ahemative is min imal. From a purely educa·
tionaJ standpoint, I would be happier if resources pennitted something more
substantial. It well may he that more substance can be added in later years . But
the important point is that , as minimal as this alternative is, it is vastly superior to
what we now have in the tripartite distribution requirement. Delay and deferral
will not get us a better program . We must make a start with what Is possible . I
have referred to the years of phased implementa_tion as 'T ', "II" , and "UI" ,
1 without specifying an actual date. There is, as I see it . a very small chance
_ that
we could begin the implementation of the alternative plan suggested here in
September 1981, but H would requiTe a measure of cooperation, agreement ,
and timing that is rare in such matters. But; K the plan were found acceptable,
there would be absolutely no excuse for delaying implementation past
September 1982.
A word about the so-called "Themes" requirement of the original proposal.
The Task Force confesses with considerable regret that it found it impossible to
make reasonable projections about this requirement . except to suggest that
"llleme" courses would have to be scheduled in fairly exuberant oversupply to
guarantee that students would meet the requirement. However, beside that.
realization stands the stark fact that no more than twenty 'Theme" ,cou,;e pro·
posalS have reached the General Education Committee as of this date. Despite
Hs importance in the minds of many people, it is clear that the "llleme" requirement needs to be thoroughly reconsidered, and furthermore that implementation of the rest of the program should not be deferred until we have a clear
perception of how the "llleme" element will fit into it, K at all. The alternative
proposal which I have made allows for its addition at a later time . if not in its
original form . .
The "lllemes" requirement has a checkered history. In the General Education Committee. it grew out of nearly universal agreement that all students
should be required to take some cou,;e dealing with ethics or the serious

I. PREFACE

The, implementation of the General Education program developed in the
"Report of the Standing Committee on General Education" (November 6 .
1979) will have major consequences for the delivery of undergraduate education at SUNYAB. In this report. the numerical magnitude of those consequences
will be charted in the following way. Preceding the main report. a Synopsis will
briefly oudine the magnitude of the task before us. There then follows a Timetable. The body of the main report is devoted to' an analysis of shifts in student
population , according to the existing patterns of supply and the ,Projected
demands of General Education .
Since shifts in student populations will be massive in some cases, and since
such projected sh~ts wUI cause organizatio nal and academic perturbation . the
members of the Task Force invite the closest scrutiny of our base data and f&gt;arlicularly the assumptions out of which the data were generated . In all cases,
assumptions have been made expltcit along the way. but ih a number o f cases
we have made ad hoc assumptions about the proposed program that should be
•tudied . Prefaces are traditional places for disclaimers. Nevertheless. the
members of the Task Force believe that it will be d ifficult to find a fault in the

�01
analyses that would seriously impair the overaO configurations and magnitudes
in the main report.
In an effort to provide a serviceable proiUe of some altemaUve proposals lor
parts of the General Education plan, the Task Fon:e encloses after the main
report a sampler of possibilities for the additional modeling of our data. Several
Appendices conclude the report; these involve both background information as
well as some aucial questions about implementation that remain to be solved.

II. SYNOPSIS

In this section we summarize the major findings of the Report. We first discuss
a phased Implementation of General Education (G .E.) courses by Knowledge
Area, then proceed to an examination of Its impact on the University community
in general, and conclude with a series of cautionary notes. Throughout our
study, the bests lor predicting future demand in Knowledge Area courses has
been existing patterns of demand lor courses sallsfving major requirements or
serving as.,electives.
1
The summary below shows the numbers of G .E. sections that must be offered
over lour years if the program Is to be implemented in the form approved by the
Faculty Senate. Table 1 illustrates incrementally both the quantitv and the
percentage of these G .E. courses needed at fortv students per section :

Table lb. therefore shows that at least 728 G .E. course sections must be offered
on a regular basis by the fourth year.
.

The ideal (full-capacity) ligures are unrealistic for a number of reasons , such as
1) the likely under-subscription for some course sections due to scheduling conflicts , 2) the fact that this figure, (728) does not take into account demand for
these same G.E. courses used to satisfy current major requirements OJ' sought as
free electiVes, and 3) the fluctuation among Knowledge Areas as students shift

majors. The Task Force has therefore decided to display the p&lt;&gt;ss~ble derr•nd .in
two other ways (Table lb, Columns II and Ill) . The values developed lor column
11 were derived f.Iom the ratio of actual enroUments in lower division courses to

the current st.red capacity for those same courses- approximately 65% of
capacity. Column Ill doubles the values in column 1-i.e .• assumes an overaU
enrollment at 50% of capacity to accommodate the effects of the above points.
Each of the six Knowledge Areas described in Appendix E must, of course, offer a percentage of this IOta! load. Table 2 illustrates the percentage of demand
anticipated in each area lor the various capacities shown in Table 1:

Note: A ""9Btive number indicates less current "Consumption than will be ret~uired bv G.E. and implies a shift of students into these areas. Because this and
lioter tables do not account for students' entire programs, the results do not sum
to zero. (See Table 8 for an analvsis of each area's relative abilltv to accommodate to such demand.) "Call" includes enrollments for courses offered
through such programs as Religious Studies and the DUE Freshman Colloquium, thereby overstating College enrollments by some 4,000 SCH's .
A final confounding issue is the theme requirement, which is presently much
more elusive of analysis than are the Knowledge Areas. Because theme courses
can be expected to luKill some Knowledge Area requirements and therel!y serve
two purposes at once, they will undoubtedly be hignly sought after, and subject
to early close-out, thus compounding student scheduUng problem$. Accordingly, the "fudge-factor" lor theme courses wUI have to be considerably greater than
for simple Knowledge Area courses. Yet there is no certainty that enough theme
courses will be prC?posed to provide either sufficient ca2._acitv or appropriate
disbibution across Knowledge Areas to satisfy demand. (To date, it should be
noted , only twenty theme proposals have reached the General Education Committee.) We acknowledge with considerable regret our inabilitv to devise a
framework within which Ia include an analysis of potential demand for theme
courses. Our failure in this respect should not be read as an indication that im·
plementation of the theme requirement presents a minor concern , however: on
the contrary,_it should be viewed as an important additional dimension to an
already immensely difficult undertaking.
In view of the prodigious task entailed in implementing the G .E. program , the
Task Force recommends these cautionary measures:
1 . It Is imperative that the vast majoritv (perhaps as high as 80%) of the
total sections (final column in Tabki 2) be verified by November of this year
. if the G . E. program is to be implemented by September, 1981; otherwise,
implementation sh~u!.d be deferred until 1982, or until such time as an
adequate number and disbibution of sections can be continually
guaranteed by Faculties and Departments.
2 . In the absence of a guaranteed, full program, as presently stipulated ,

(2) to begin with a voluntary G.E. program ; (3) to begin by dividing all
presently approved D.U.E. courses into the "Six Knowledge Areas.

Table 6 calculates the total demand for General Education in each Kn~
Area, both In terms of student instructional spaces and in course sections. Table
6 also tabulates each year of implementation as weD as the totals following completion .
·
/
The General Education requir~nt for majOrs in each of the University's baccalaureate programs is determined initially. This determination Is made In one of
two walJS: (1) by assuming a Knowledge Area classificatiOn lor each degree program and thereby determining the Knowledge Area requirement in which its
majors are exempted (See Appendix A-2, "Knowledge Area Classification by
MajOrs") , (2) by understanding the various adjusted P"'9J"ms -"&lt;abbe to
several of the University's degree programs and the speciaUed exempUOns &amp;om
General Education requirements these programs were afforded. The total
number of majors in each degree program is then multiplied by-the number of
courses required in each of the seven (7) Knowledge Areas respectively in order
to determine the number of General Education inslruclional spaces that will be
needed. by each degree program in each Knowledge Area. The total number of
spaces for each Knowledge Area are then added to determine a raw total of
General Education instructional spaces needed by each Knowledge Area to
serve aD of the University baccalaureate program$ (Category 1; for a luD description of the "Categories," see the next section) .
This raw total is then increased by adding the expected demand-"""' by
those students at the University who have not chosen a majOr 6eld (Category 2).
It is assumed that these undecided students lake the fuD General Education program without exemption from any knowledge area. The final' ~ total
(Category 3) of General Education instructional spaces needed by each
knowledge area is determined by adding the raw totals (Category 1) and the
undecided totals (Category 2) . This grand total Is then divided by four (4) to
determine the number of General Education instruCtional spaces needed by
each Knowledge Area each year. This yearly total is further divided by the section limit 40 so as• to determine the number of course sections within each
Knowledge Area alter final implementation.
Finally, in order to measure the number of sections needed in each
Knowledge Area during each year of implerneritaUOn one applies the yearly
percentages, as calculated in 51\ldy 1, to the total number of sections needed in
each Knowledge Area alter implementation (Categories 7, 8. 9, 10) .
It must be staled that this study projects a demand to. a bare minimum
number of course sections In each Knowledge Area. This study assumes that
there will alwalJS be a fixed distribution of General Education course offerings by
Knowledge Areas. A ~nt "fudge factor" Should be built Into policy making
considerations once ac)tal General Education courses are implemented.

The Knowledge Area of Uteratwe demands further sautiny. The analysis

shows that General EducatiOn demand wiD be about 800% of stated
capacity. The capacity of the Department of En!llish to absorb much of the
demand has been excluded from this analysis, however. because most of
its 100/200 level commllment are devoted to the Basic Sldlls component.
Moreover, 300-400 level courses have not been tabulated.

TABLE 7
PERCENT OF G.E. SECTIONS NEEDED BY YEAR
Year 1 · 35.37% of total Knowledge Area instructional need
Year 2 · 35.29%
Year 3 · 15.64%
Year 4 · 13.43%
100.0%

Another potential problem is in P /MIT. Here the problem is not obvious
from the % of total figure : 20.9% . However, Chemlsby's and Physics'
major offerings at this level are required courses, and are almost fuUy
subscribed. If the conlrtJulton of these two areas to P/MIT were
etiminated. the potential changes to 79.4% . It is difficult to see how they
could change so laJge a propodian of these courses to G.E. courses
without doing harm to courses required of their majors. This Implies that
they wtn have to develop new courses in acldllton to existing courses.

3 .

While the rest of the .,... appear to have sullicient capacity to absorb the
effect of G .E., no analysis has been done to determine the impact on
course offerings to majors in the departments. Potentially there could be
problems in areas where 50%&lt;&gt;&lt; m&lt;&gt;&lt;e of the offerings are affected .

4 .

Low percentages may indicate a different problem. Those areas which are
currently rich in elective student consumptiOn may face a significant reduc·
tion in enroDments.

STUDY 4: ANALYSIS OF lHE EFFECT OF ENROilliENI'
SHIFTS RESUL11NG FROM GENERAL EDUCATON

IMPIDIENTA110N
The Task Force surveyed not only the probable shifts of enrolment toward
departments whose functiOn might become lalgely that of offering General
EducatiOn requirements, but also those shifts likely to oocw away from depart·
ments in which undergraduates are now enrolled. To assess the impact of these
movements the Task Force reviewed the "ConsumptiOn Demand Analysts
Report". This report displays undergR&gt;duale course enrollmoints by facuky unit
codes, facilitating an analysis of course emOIIment by undergR&gt;duate major.
Table 9 displays the resuks of imposing aer-aJ Education demand upon pre·

Note: This study assumes that students enrolled in degree programs which re·
quire adjusted General Education requirements- Engineering, Management,
and Health Sciences majors - must take one course in the Uterature
Knowledge Area, one course in the Art Knowledge Area, and one course in the
Foreign languages/Cross Cultural Knowledge Area. The School of Architec·
twe's degree program for architecture majors also has a special adjusted program. However, the nature of this School's degree requirements has caused the
General Education Committee to exempt students in this program from G.E.
courses in the Physical, Mathematical and Technological and Foreign
~/Cross Cukural Knowledge Areas as wen as one-haK of the
Historical/Philosophical Knowledge Area requirement.

STUDY 3: KNOWLEDGE AREA CAPACITY ANALYSIS
How weD are various areas of the University equipped to deal with the impact
of General EducatiOn In terms of their current capacities? The values used here
were taken from the DO 013's of 100/200 level courses lor FaD 1979. The
number reported is the staled capacity for the area in questiOn multiplied by the
number of aedit hours for the course in order to yield student SCH's . To obtain
the staled capacity, we then simply doubled the Fan 19791igures. This has the
effect of overstating stated capacity by about 10% . We arrived at this overstate·
ment effect by looldng at the DO 013's for two areas to obtain actual slated
capacity. We are satisfied that doubling of the Fall values gives a reasonable
estimate. This data abandons the timitatiOn of 40-student sectiOns, and il
assumes that the only students enrolled in these sectiOns would be students ac·
tualy completing GeMral EducatiOn requirements. We used the .san)~! 91"'!'P·
tngs of courses Into knowledge areas as shown in Appendix A-1. and we omit·
led from cgnslderatiOn contributiOns by the foUowing: Colleges, Engtish,

We then compared the anticipated G .E. demand to the current consump·
tion to identify areas of potentially serious mismatch . The results are
shown in Table 9 . The table indicates the following shifts in dem~nd :
a. There will be an increased consumption in Historical and

Philosophical Studies. Life and Health Sciences, and Literature by non·
majors.
b. The foUowing areas show consumption in excess of G .E. require ·

ment: P-hysical and Mathematical Sciences and Technology (excluding
Math/ Stat. courses but including majors) , Arts, Social and Behavioral
Sciences, and Foreign Language or Cross Cultural Studies. (excluding
English courses but including majors) .
c. The following should be kept in mind when examining excess con·
sumptlon .

. Biology majors currently consume a large number of P / MIT courses.

~d. a:ith~~u;:~~~dta;~mm~~ !~~~~'!;:".~~'\-!~ F~~:'re!~ ~~~:

in this case the biology consumption figure should be removed . Also. the
effects of the undecided majors should be examined carefully.
These majors are taking P / MI T courses as potential pre-med. engineer·
- ing or other science related majors and will continue to consume these
cowses.
Removing the effects of Biology and Undecideds leaves the P / MI T area
deficient in current consumption to meet G.E . requirements:

We use the current course offerings by various faculties to non· majors in the
area to attempt to answer questions about potential changes in loads of students.
We compare actual offerings to calculated G .E. demands by non -majors to
determine if current configurations can potentially handle shifts in loads due to
G .E. requirements .

-2968 (Undecided consumption)
-2956 net deficie~cy
Thus the Task Force feels there will be a net increase in demand for
P/M/T offerings due to General Education .
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
From the outset the Task Force has been concerned with the question of
whether to recorrmend one or more . alternatives to the proposed General
Education requirement and whether to assess the capacity of University depart·
ments to implement such ahematives. Many alternatives are of course available .
including the reduction of requirements to one course per Knowledge Area . the
combining of the six areas Into four or three, the elimination of individual
section-approval procedures. the phasing in of requirements via a test group or
orle area at a time , etc.
We have rejected any single set of recommendations in the present report on
the grounds that H might tend to underrnine the more than two years of effort of
the Standing Cornmmee on General Education . which has already considered
and rejected many of these same options. Instead the Task Force believes that its
two months' work has been spent in generating data which can be used by other
groups - Deans, Faculties, Schools, Departments and the General Education
Commmee - in assessing both the proposed program and alternatives. In par·
ticular, the dala in the main text and appendices of this report relating to distribu·
~·~~n~eed , and P!esent departmental capacities should be .

OPERATING ASSUMPTIONS

This appendix delineates the assumptions that the committee made in analyz·
ing the data. Un~nding these Is necessary for interpreting the result.
A-1 GENERAL EDUCATION KNOWlEDGE AREAS
Before developing the analyses discussed in this rq&gt;&lt;&gt;rt, "the Task Force had to
determine how cummt DUE offerings fit into the Knowledge Areas. We could
not find where this had been done beforehand ; hence, we were forced into mak·
ing dedsions about p~ment . Therefore, we strongly urge that this analysis be
examined carefufty by the relevant academic units and final assignment be made
on placement of course offerings/ student majors in Knowledge Areas. These
classifications are important for two reasons:
1)

l1le classifications by major will deterrnine what the students' G .E. profile
will look like, because all students are released.from the G .E. requirement in
their major Knowledge Area ; and,
·

2)

to the extent that students fall in adjusted programs, they are released from
additional G .E. Knowledge Area requirements. In addition to assigning
students, these classifications may be used for assigning Faculties to
Knowledge Areas. This is less certain than student assignments. We
recognize that a faculty tnember from any unit is capable of proposing
General Education courses in any of the Knowledge Areas. However, one
would assume that the majority of G.E. offerings by a Faculty would tend to
fall into one or another of the Knowledge Areas, and this major area is what
we are trying to capture for numerical purposes.

\

The following is a list of the assignments. The first six are assignments into' the
slx Knowledge Areas as identified by the November 6 , 1979 report . The rest of
the groupings are either ~I programs, which have an adjusted General

Education Requirement and/.Qr'probably will not be overly involved in General
Educallon (such as Engineeirng or Management) or are areas which present
spedaJ problems, (such as l1le Colleges or Undecided majors) .
A careful examination of the groupings will -reveal that they are a mixture of
..._ which have student rRajors and areas which offer courses but do not have
student majors, sUch as Humanities. l1lese are combined in one document for
completenas.

·bv the number cl genand education courses that studeni5 can be expected to
taloo chalng each year of their respedlve degree programs.
3 . Asswnpllons about the timing for majors' subscrtption to G .E. courses are
deriued from suggestions of the representative from each of the major academic
divislans cl the IJnivenlly who were members of the Task Force for the Implementallon cl General Education. The G .E. course distribution for majors in
each division is aosumed to be:

take aU G .E. requirements without exemption .l ; 12. Mathematics, Stalislics,
Natural Sciences (P / Mm .
E. Totals for each unit were determined for Fall 1979. It was then assumed
that Sprtng 1980 would be similar in the distribution of courses; therefore, a fuD
year of G.E. courses could be determined by doubling the Fall information. This
probably overstates demand by approximately 10 % .
F. G .E. demand for each area was determined by assuming:
1. The distribution of future majors would be similar to FaD 1979 . This has
been substantiated by looking at major distrtbution (Of Fall1977, FaD 1979 and
Sprtng 1980 enroUments as carried In A &amp; R Enrolment Reports.
2 . The number of entering freshmen would be 3103 and they would aD com·

SUMMARY
A. The net increase or decrease in numbers of students in a Knowledge Area
was determined by comparing the total number of SCH's currently taken by
non-majors In a Knowledge Area against the G.E. req uirements by those nonmajors in that Knowledge Area . This analysis assumes that all courses currently
being taken In a K.A . will be G .E. courses, and further assumes that aD courses
taken by K.A.'s students in a K.A. are required and cannot be reduced in
number .
B. Total G .E. de mand in a K.A . is simply the non -major SCH demand In the
K.A.
C . The capacity values are derived from the course enrollment files for FaD
1979 and all for 100/200 level courses only.

felt deserves special consideration .
2 . It was felt that English a nd Mathematics consumption would not decrease
from their present levels d ue to a) the skills requirement and bl the fact that large
numbers of their student units are required by various majors while the required
courses wtii probably not be General EdiJCII.tion courses.
3 . The Statistics courses are examined lll!plll'8tely again because they tend to
be required and unlikely to become General Education courses.
4 . The Colleges are presented because they are in the unique position of of.

Table 12 e numerates the number of students in each area tracked . It is used to
the rough percentage of students being served by each identified
faculty . This data derived from the consumption report for Fall 1979. These
values are used to determine the G .E. requirements used in Tables 10 and I I.
APPENDIXE
A SUMMARY OF GENERAL EDUCATION KNOWLEDGE AREA
REQUIREMENTS

I. Historical and Philosophical Stud.ies: 2 courses. ·
2. Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Technology: 2 courses.
3. life and Health Sciences: 2 courses.
4. (a) Lileralun!: 2 courses; (b)..Arts: _l course.
5. Social and Behavioral Sciences: 2 courses.
6 . FOieign language or Cross Cultural Study: 2 courses.

Note:

A. Students shaU be exempted from the requirement in whatever Knowledge

Area their major happens lo faU .

B. Themes: 3 theme courses ijl"e required of e very student completing the
standard general education program . To satisfy the theme requirement . a student must take theme courses in three different knowledge areas. Since themes
may cui across sewral knowledge areas, however. students may satisfy the
theme requiremerll by (ij one course each in three separate themes. (ii) two
courses in one theme and oc;te course in another theme, or (iii} three courses in a
single theme .
.
The theme requirement is not additional ro the knowledge area requirements.
Of the courses taken in fulfillment of the Knowledge Area requirements. thlee
must be approved th ·•ne courses. (Example : an approved theme course in
Ethics would fulfill bou, the theme requirement and one of the two Knowledge
Area requirements in Historical and ~ilosophical Studies.)
For a detailed explication of the themes requirement, see pp. 4 -9 of the Revised 11/6/79 Report of the Standing Commillee on General Education .
C . What Is described above Is the so&lt;alled "standard" program. Adjusted
programs for the loDowing groups are described on pp . 9 -15 of the Revised
11/6/79 Report of the Standing Committee_on General Education : Engineer-

C. Analysis:
1. Th e Knowledge Area whkh would appear to have the most difficulty is
Literature . It is deficient by -4 .704 SCH"s.
•
2. The Knowledge Area of L &amp; HS would appear to have some difficulty aher
adjusting for Undecided Majors. (Shown as +928 SCH"s : however. refer to
Table 9 for adjustme nt.)
3. P/ M/ T. even aher making adjustments for Biology and Undecided Majors
still appears to have the capacity ro handle th is model (See Study 4 . Section IV
for justification of adjustment .)
Example II
A . Model:
I . Combine S &amp; BS with H &amp; P : Use S &amp; BS for now: Combine P / MIT with
L &amp; HS: Rename category SCI : Combine LIT with ART: Rename category A &amp;
L.
2 . Change G ,J;:. requirements to: SCI2 courses (6 hrs.): A &amp; L 2 courses (6
hrs.): S &amp; BS 2 courses (6 hrs.): FL/ CC 2 courses (6 hrs.).
3. Do away with adjusted programs and require aD students to take standard
~program . (Students remain exempt from Knowledge Area requirements in their
major.)

c. Analysis:
This model shows that by combining the three Kne wledge Areas of Lite rature.
Arts and Foreign Languages/ Cross Cultural. there would be sufficie nt present
consumptiOn to meet demand in this area . P / MIT and L &amp; HS are unchanged
and remain a problem .
·
SUMMARY

The above analyses show that e ven with major changes in th e configuratio n of
the General Education require ments the potential for significan t problem areas
remains. l1le data above is presented to aid in their discussion .
A computer model of general education has been ·developed to facilitate
analyses of variation In the assumptiqn about numbers of students. distributions
of majors and grouping5.of.majors, etc. This model Is available to assist in further
analysis of General Education .

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

News&amp;mzuSt;if/

A highly sophisticated computer procedure developed by a group of researchers at U/8 is providing a capability of
creating three·dimensional video
displays using x-ray data a
breakthrough that oplms new doors for
medical scie~.
This procCdure; or computer program, was developed by the Medical Image Processing Group in UIB's Department of Computer Scieni:e.
Dr. Gabor T . Herman, group director, disclosed that he and his fellow
researchers are presently producing
_ tbrccc-dimensioWjl .(3-D) displays from
x-ray data contained on computer. tapes,
being sent to U/B by doctors and
hospitals i!l)varioqs parts of the nation.

The new SS million, 17-ton Mayo

will be equipped with 28 x-ray scanners.
The ~onal Institutes of Health
have proVJded $3 million so far to supply
14 of the x-ray "guns" to permit the
start-up of testing.
Known as a Dynamic Spatial
Reconstructor (DSR), the 20-foot..Jong,
doughnut-shaped device already is providing some 3-D x-ray data.
So sophisticated are the computer
procedures developed at U/8 that
screened 3-D pictures can be: rotated to
show all sides; "sliced" to give a "thin
view" at any depth, or split in half,
quartered, or fragmented in other ways
to obtain the visual display desired.

Dr. Herman, who spent his 1976 sabbatical leave from U/8 at the Mayo
Clinic, disclosed that his assignment
there was to develop "computer aspects
of tbe process needed to program the

be a "bonus development" slemming

tbe violence that has claimed the lives of
six black men. It will provide an opportunity to show that fear and suspicion
shall not prevail; that this community

Obsessiveness

Author-historian Doris Keams is obsessed by the obsessiveness of successful

Lyndon Johnson is her favorite case

the White House (for her Lyndon

withered and diCd in ·retirement on tbe
banks of the Perdemales, stripped of the
elusive power he had traded everything
to aehieve.
Johnson, as a young man, neglected
family and home to spend nights and
weekends paying court to the allpowerful Senate leader Richard Russell,
a lonely bachelor. Johnson even felehed
Russell his Sunday morning paper and
coffee, forming an emotional bond that
paid off handsomely in political power.
The pay-off heightened the obsession.

loin&amp; to commit an01her S 138 million
for campus cons1rue1ion.
Ahhough Carey had made a big conSiruction announcement on campus a
couple of summers ago, this time he confined himself 10 a downtown appearance
at lhe Buffalo Hillon and a groundbrealcing for a community cenler on the
West Side.
Carey pleaded "tight schedule" as the
reason 'for not actually coming to campus. Bul speculation was: he recalls all
too well the jeering and heckling crowd
which greeled him at the rapid transit
groundbreak.ing two years ago.
In any event, Carey never made any
announcement about conslruction. Instead, press secretaries passed out a
mimeographed release:
Sb· Jan ud $131 •Wioa
The Governor and Trustees of the
SUNY Construction Fund "have
authorized the sLart of design and planning work for five major construction
projects on the two campuses," the
news-sheel said.
"The facilities which will be. under
construction for six years at a cost of
$138 million, will substantially improve
the ·c,~uality of the acad~.~ programs

George Levine, dean of the Faculty of
Arts and Leuers, will leave that post,
August 31 , 1981, he informed President
Robert L. Ketter this week.
For some time, Levine said in a letter
ro the President. " I have been consider~
ing the advisability or continuing as
dean beyond the end of the current
academic year. I have had to weigh my
desire to resume my work as a professor
of English against the encouragement
and continued support of my colleagues
in Arts and Letters to remain in office. I
have decided 10 return to my department. "

Cuaces
Despite "'horrendous losses" recenlly,
Levine said. "Arts and Letters is in a far
better position for dealing with lhe
future than it was in 1975 when I took
over leadership. It was my belief
the -and still is-that the future of our
prog ams would depend in large
meas
e Faculty's receptivity to
change, in response to the economic and
demographic realities with which we are
all too familiar. "
One such change, he noted, has been
the Faculty's willingness to establish
"meaningful links" with constituencies
outside traditional boundaries. "We
have formali.zed our commitment to the
continuing educational needs of the
community by making our evening
courses part of our regular academic
programs. Arts and Leiters has
established joint programs with tJU,J

Engineering and Applied Sciences, and

sciences teaching and research center,
Carey was quot~ as having said.
"Among the45'rojects approved today
are three which will form the core of the
Main Streel improvemenl plan,'' the
news release ~enl on. "Facilities for the
School of Medicine will be upgraded by
major rehabilitation of the School's existing facilities in CarY. F.arber, and
Sherman Halls, and-same new construction will be added. About 360,000 net
square feel of space will be rehabilitated
or cons~ed for lhe Medical School.
The Dental School, which will comprise
vl!f. J.6Q.OOO net square feel, will be
located in two rehabilitated facilities,
Squire and Foster Halls, and in a new
facility which will provide modem dental clinics. Design is being approved today for the Squire Hall rehabilitation
and the dental clinics .... Another project
approved IOday is the design of a
modern Bio Medical Information
Library to be located in a new addition
to Crosby Hall, which will also be
rehabilitated as pan of the plan.
According to lhe State Universily Construction Fund, conslruction will begin
on aU three major projects by early
1982.
SocW Sc:le.In addition, lhe Governor "announced"
that a new soc:ia1 sciences academic complex (two buildinp) has been approved
for desipl al Amherst. The two are expected to cost SII.S rnituon each. "One
of the major programs to be housed in
the new buildinp," the Oevernor's
statement said, "~ be the Psychology
DepartiJ!ent, for which the Buffalo
Center must now lease facilities at a
remote location ... Aiso, the School of
Management will move 'into these new
facilities from their current location at
Crosby Hall at Main Streel." 1bese two
constitute Phase I or expected Social
Sciences' developments.
Construction on lhe two new Amherst
facilities will begin in eady 1982, also,
prediction was. In addition, two
buildings previously approved for desipl
- a · $6.3 mUiion Student Activities
Building and a $6.8 million Computer
Center - should be ready for construction al about the arne time, the Governor's statement concluded.

Kao Liu, now associated with California
Polytechnic Institute. AI the time of the
brealcthrough in 1974, the young scientist was a doctoral student in computer
science at U/8.
DevelOPing the 3-D computer program was no small task.. Dr. Herman
and one of his U/B associates, D,r. K.
Jayaram Udupa, estimated that upwards
of 13 mUiion items of information data items- are fed into lhe programmed computer to achieve a typical 3-D

Over the ,..us, Dr. Herman advised,

the software were made by Dr. Udupa;
Or. Ehud Artzy, DOW associated with lhe
Univenity or Haifa in Israel, and Dr.
Gideon Frieder, now cbairman or the
U/B Department of Computer Science.
Dr. Udupa noted that the Mayo

similar in concept to the CAT scanners
now in use at many bospi~ but that it
will have greatly improved capabilities.

The new projects will join one other

U/B Vice Presiilem for Facilities

contract is expected soon for the actual
renovation of Foster Hall for Dentistry,
and for construction of an ECC center·
at Amherst. Both should be underway in
a few months.

In one case, Drl Herman related, a
3-D videotape ~as produced for a
Milwaukee surgeon who personally
brought with him to U/B an x-ray computer tape containing data relating to the
deformed spine of a 15-year-&lt;&gt;ld girl.
The resulling 3-D videotape, Dr.
Herman noted, contained - by aclual
count- 112,894 "individual facets" for
screening.
Generally, a hospital requesting a 3-D
videotape will have the necessary video
recording equipment to set up its own
display.
The sucoess or the 3-D display computer proaram developed here is
documented in a letter to Dr. Herman
from Dr. Richard A . Robb, a
pbysiologist and radiologist at the Mayo
Clinic Medical School.
The letter, dated Auaust 21, states:
"Our initial experience with your software package for automated 3-D surface
detection and display bas been most
satisfactory ... The installation went
smoolhly and we have had no problems
maintaining the system."

Dr. Herman believes there may be other
applications, beSides medicine, for lhe
3-D x-ray concept. particularly in the
field or "non-destructive testing ...
As an example, he cited the possibility
or cbecting out a fuel rod inside a
nuclear reactor without removing lhe
rod. He observed, however, that the
level of radiation needed for such a picture would be considerably hiabcr than
for a medical x-ray.

will require careful nunuring, .. he continued, ubut they are in ploa and an integral part of the curriculum."
Levine said he has sem an expansion
and intensification of the Faculty's
cultural programs in the community.
" By any standard, our programs and
our faculty are a significant presence in
the cultural life of the city of Buffalo,''
he assessed.

No doubts
He has "never had any doubts," he
said, ''that the arts at SUNY Buffalo
would survive, despite our losses and the
unfortunate drift at this and other institutions around tbe country toward
career preparation and narrow vocationalism." The ans .. will outlive the
budget crises ... and the ... criticism of
those in our society whose limited
perspectives make no allowances for the
ways in which the arts can make tife
more meaningful," he predicted. •• As a
distinguished Ameriean writer has said,
' The arts live continuously .... They are
what we find again when the ruilis are
cleared away' .''
Responding, Kelter told Levine,
"Certainly no one among your colleagues can underestimate lhe difficulties with which you have had to contend since your assumption of lhe deanship in the Fall of 1975. It's been a touah
'tour of duty,' and I can deeply appreciate the sometimes wrenching decisions you' ve had to make.
.. As you indicate, however," Ketter
continued, "the Faculty of Ans and Letters has established some admirable and
innovative programs during your tenure
and its contribution to lhe cultural life
of Buffalo and environs is truly inestimable. No doubt this will continue to
be lhe case, as will your own loyalty and
commitment to Ibis University; about
which there has never been any
doubt."

Unnerved

Care needed in
assessing GE report·

Garver,s wrong, writer
contends; interpersonal
relations are important

Edllor:
1 was unnerved by Newton Garver's

statement in the October 9 Reporler that
the inclusion of interpersonal considerations in judgements on teaching quality
is an "'invitation to corruption." He is
. also quoted as saying that the proposal
would "put pressure on faculty to
become involved in areas that are none
of their concern." Whether Garver
realizes it or not, students at this University are alive, and one of the primary
purposes of &lt;;&lt;lucation is to stimulate
and guide their intellectual development.
Despite the number of students in lec·
ture halls or crowded together on campus buses, each student learns alone.
The process of acquiring new knowledge
and its meaning is a private matter unique and idiosyncratic for each of us.
Serious learning does not occur without
the deep involvement of the individual,
his beliefs and his feelings. Without this
involvement education can only serve a
practical, vocational, or st8t'us
usefulness. Rather than try to iphibit OF
constrain the educational individuality
of each student, counter moves must be
made to release the full play of student·
based resources for learning- including
increased communication with faculty if
needed.

iadlrference

The majority of students at this University rese'!t indif~~rence on the . P~t1 qf
facul!y, and resent the forced anonymity
of lecture classes.~rect communication
~ween S\Udent and teacher is especially
lmpPrt.ant for the student who is looking
for ways to beuer understand himself
and his life. This Universit,- is a terrible
place for the student who is not sure of
what he wants to do. The largeness and
complexity of it often makes it difficult
for him to assess what he really wants
from it. When a student begins to question his preconceptions he too often fails
to find in IUs intellectual experience at
U.is University the encouragement or the
materials for reconstruction. This is sad .
Unless a student is highly motivated
or self-disciplined, a conscious effort
toward self-development can be very dif·
ficult. And when the atmosphere is
against natural human intercourse bet·
ween student and teacher, individual effort can be awkward and frustrating.
Too many students at this University
are adrirt. Their course work and often
their lives seem aimless. They .drift in
and out of their classes, without any
conscious effort toward self·
development or intellectual growth.
1bere is a fedina among many students
of powerlessness - the inability to control or shape their lives at this sc~tool. I

think that one of the reasons the attrition rate is so high bere is because
students feel lost - their individuality
seems to be consumed by the largeness
of this institution. Indifference, the inability to commit themselves to intellectual growth, the tendency to uhangout"
in herds on a level of semi-consciousness
is often seen in their own eyes as failure
to find positive direction· for their lives.
Nol enough attention
Not enough auention is being paid to
what is happening to students day to day
- dealing with their pressures and with
their anxieties. More has to be done to
humanize · this University. A student
often comes;here with sometimes only a
vague notion of who he is or what he in·
tends to do with his life. Whether a
teacher acknowledges a student's personal, social,. or emotional concerns or
not, he is involved with them. A
student's response to literature, his
capacity to deal with relevant issues, his
choice of a major, are experiences that
should be deeply affected by the circumstances of his personal life and the.
environment he is growing up in. How
much this University does about these
circumstances or their effect uP.on learning depends on its willingness (or rather,
the willingnesS Or the teaChers in it) to
recognize this educational ·purpose.
Moves should be made to encourage
faculty to be increasingly open to inquiries made by students. Students often
seek inierpersonal contact with their
professors and they cherish a professor's
recqgnition of what their minds are
engaged in.
There are many teachers at this
University who are aware of the personal human needs of their students.
They have a passionate commitment not
only to what they're teaching but in their
desire to communicate it to their class.
They are personally observant and conscious of particular student needs, and
have the ability to turn apat.hetic
students into lively exploring ones. They
can direct students out of their noundering and indifference, into commitment.
More professors like this are needed.
Students want to be taken seriously and
the reaction when they are is deep and
lasting.

-M.D.

Editor:
I am writing to respond to interpretations of Table 9 of the report of the Task
Force for Implementation of General
Education, "The Effect of General
Education on the Operating Units,"
which appear in the article on page 8 of
the October 16 issue of the Reporler, en·
titled "GE Numbers Called 'Scary' by
Senators." Having represented the
Faculty of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics on the Task Force, I question specifically the interpretation that
"fewer faculty (would be needed) for
Physical and Mathematical Sciences .. .. "
The purpose of Table 9 of our report
is to measure the disparity between the
number of credit hours presently taken
by majors in the central academic degree
programs in knowledge areas outside of
their major field, and the number of
credit hours the knowledge areas will be
asked to absorb following implementa·
tion of the General Education program.
Initial assessment or isolated reading of
this table would indicate that University
students outside of the Physical,
Mathematical and Technological
knowledge area presently consume 2886
more credit hours than would be re·
• quired by General Education:

R..d It carefully

reference to the Task Force report. Extreme caution should guide the interpretation of the report. Certain tables in
the report employ complex logic and
assumptions which are explained in the
textual passages. Specific published interpretations of these data implying
faculty resource reallocation and
diminut ion are volatile statements and
should only be offered after a full
carefui review of the report.
'
Use care and judgemenl
The Task Force for Implementation of
General Education was very sensitive to
the potential implications of the data it
was presenting. Extreme Care was exercised in preparing and explaining . the
data. However, this concern and care in
presenting useful data are only half of
the ingredients of an important report .
The University community and decision
makers reading this report must exercise
care and judgement in discerning its contents.

A ~ te ~Clue reM1-a ud wrlllq
Recalling his early career, Schmitz
relayed he aever particularly thou&amp;ht of
teuhiDa as a "sltiU or art" but viewed it
more as a "way to.coatinue reading and
writing." Any kind of classroom trainina he received came in a very "ad hoc"
fashion. "In pacluate scbool, you were
jllll put into a coune and expected to
teach, " he remembered.
With c:xperieocc (and he emphasizes
c:xperienc:e is the key), Schmitz has
developec! a I!Jie•be feda-.,.,.. about,
onnhal-Daoiual.with ''Jeoipre!CIIIation
or tdf."
But even after 10 years, he admits he
has to work a1 ipiting free-Oowing
classroom !Siscussion. Whal he really
wants are ~ 10 much "directed explorations" &lt;tbouab that is often the
.ality) but "impusioned disputts or
araumeou" which rP.!CI: both him and
studcnll to "sharpeD" their responses.

Some or the best students Schmitz has
tauaJtt were in some respect "fractious
and difrlaiiL" Tbouah he might have
bad fllllCiamental clisagrcanents with
them \II class, "we still &amp;ot along," he
noted.
To help his class relax, and calm any
anxiety about sdf-aprcssion, Schmitz
often tries to get a "fiiCetious, teasing
dialope" gain&amp;.
This awardee is conc:ertl&lt;!l not just
about how studeoll relate to him as a
teacher, but also about how be interacts

1be "problem,.. he coatinued, is that
faculty often "c:t- out" students
who reflect them. For a "meaninaful

"You would think, " he said, that "a

teachers I had were close-minded."
Everytime be ~t of a "quality a

"thouabl or. one' who didn "t have it." It
all boils down to ••mastery of a subject
on one hand, and personality on the
other," he said. And the personality
doesn't necessarily have to be pleasant.
"I had some good teachers who were
real bastards," he remembered.

No COIIfllct
Personally, Schmitz sees no conflict between beiDa a productive scbolar and a
good teacher. He thinks most effective
teachers are both. " Especially at a
University cenler, graduate students are
not just looking for a coUeague and a
friend, but for someone who is actively
engaged in his field."
Schmitz views teachin&amp; as an ...exchange"_where you "get baclr. as much

Soccer
fast, physical, and
generally ignored by campus fans.
Which is too bad, considering the U/ B
boaters are among the top 10 in tlie State
in Division Ill, sporting a 7-3 record going into yesterday's match with
Houghton. Those accustomed to · the
Cosmos will find no international
superstars here, but sophomore Chris
Simon is near to becoming a local one.
He'll undoubtedly set the all-time U/ 8
goal record before the season ends. U/ 8
soccer is unique because it's the only
varsity sport with a faculty coach from
an area outside Recreation and Related
Instruction. Prof. Norman Baker of
History assists Head Coach Sal
Esposito ..The Soccer Bulls are at Rotary
Field Saturday at I p.m. Grab a blanket

ESC

Environmental unit's research
dispels myths about
what people want 'from government
Ronald Reasan is wrong in his estimates
of what the American people value, Dr.
Lester Milbrath, director of U/B's Environmental Studies Center (ESC), contends.
Wilen Reqan champions a free
martel economy over government planning for the public good, he's appealilw
strictly to busineso leaders and not the
general public. Well over half the pullli:
falls on the side of planning, and
another 27 per cent prefers a mixture of
governmental guidance and the free
market, according to recent research
conduded by ESC. Only 19 per cent of
those members of the general public
polled in an ESC study believe in the
unfettered free market. Almost half the
business leaders do, however.
More members of the public are willing to endure higher tax rates to pay for
public benefits than are willing to see
public service curtailed in favor of 14
cutbacks, another of Reagan's tenets.
Even business leaders aren't so sure
about the advisability of reduced

research findings reveal.
The data come from a four-nation
study of environmental beliefs and attitudes on the part of both average
citizens and environmental and business
leaders in which ESC is participating, in
cooperation with the Science Center in
Berlin. People in England, Germany,
and Australia, as well as the U.S., have
been and are being polled to determine
their feelings on what should take
preeedence when environmental and
economic values clash.
Findings to date suggest a "strong environmental emphasis" in three _pf the
four countries (the results ·from
Australia are not yet in). Milbrath who has writ~n a pair of scholarly
papers and is ~riling a popular article on
the outcomes - concludes that "all industrial countries must continue to
develop and implement strong environmentally protecti*e policies, even
in the face of economic adversity."
ODe of fu.r projects
The study is one of four research projects now going on at the uniquely
socially-eriented environmental studies
unit. Under a grant from the U.S. Forest
Service, ESC is looking at the operations
and effectiveness of the Youth Conservation Corps. With UNESCO sponsorship, it is involved in a pilot study of the
quality of life in the local area: as part of
a world-wide network of such studies. A
more &amp;mbitious investigation may
result.
Finally, with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, ESC is
conducting a case 5tlldy of citizen participation in the Love Canal crisis. Findings will be Used to helP. shape a channel for citizen input in future crisis situatioos UDder the "Superfund" legislation

The continuing Iraq-Iran war, fueled by

believes a revolution inside its borders
was being fomented by Iranians. Random bombings and assassination attempts, believed the.wor1&lt; of Iran, led to
tbe recent expulsion of some 6s ,000
Iranians from Iraq. Border skirmishes
also were stepped up in the weeks prior
to Dr. Nakeeb's visit. And the invasion
of Iran by soldiers from Iraq has o fficially been explained by !he Iraq
government as a " war of liberation" to

Another threat on !he Mid-Eastern

"Evidence demonstrating the extent

in the rapid growth and populari ty of

Canadiqn poets
p·r ove intriguing
Th~

Nonh American publishing scene
has become polarized between large
commercial houses trading in the likes of
Jaws and Princrss Daisy and very small,
very literary presses. Publishers in the
mid-range are getting squeezed out.
Distinguished Canadian poet
Margaret Atwood raised this alarm at a
panel on "The State of Canadian
Poetry," the itrst discussion session of
the UIB Canadian Poetry Festival, last
Thursday afternoon.
The Festival had opened the previous
evening with a dinner in Capen Hall's
Outer Gallery and readings by Atwoo&lt;l
and Michael OJ!daatje. It continued
through Tuesday of this week with other
readings, receptions and lectures spiced
by the presence of 14 poets from the
nonh, the Canadian consul and other
government officials. Ranging in appearance from priggish to rakish,
uniformly fulminic in the expression of
their opinions, and studiedly bohemian
in manner, the poets read to large and
small crowds, and to guitar accompaniment. Some chanted, some scatted
nonsense syllables like jazz singers taking off on Gershwin. Some gave pithy
papers. Some were colossal bores.
Thursday, most were querulous.
Atwood's concern over lhe state of
publishing led D.O. Jones, a poetprofessor from the University of Sherbrooke, to bark th'a t he might as weU be
at a stockholder's meeting at McGrawHill - or at the very least at a session of
the Canada Ans Council where little tea
sandwiches are served and nervous people chatter about sales figures. Poetry
has never enjoyed a mass audience,
Jones, author of an acclaimed critical
work, Bu/lerfly on Rock: A Study of

Themes and Images in Canadian
Literature, argued. It has been and will
be a minority an. What is really wrong
on the Canadian u6etry scene, he contended, is that m'llst of what is being
written today is derivative and duU.
Some •ve to make a livl•l
Poets who lack the suppon of a University chair, Atwood replied icily, have to
be concerned about audience and sales.
"I'll have to come out of the closet,"
she said, "and admit that I make my living as a writer."
Jones smifed· a stage smile. The only
pQeiS who ever made money, he said,
were Roben Service, Edgar Guest and
Rod McKuen, and we all know what
their work is like.
_
Gerry Gilben, described in the festival
publicity as "a rebel even in the most experimental circles of contemporary
Canadian poetry," claimeclnot to "give
/ a damn" about being published as long
as one copy of his work is in the Na. tiooal Library. "In 100 or SOO years,
poetry will survive and provide the only
access to our times. This building won't
be here then," he said, referring more
accutatdy than he perhaps kn~ to
Clemens Hall. "My writing wU/ IN!." At
another stage or the discussion,
howner, Gilben tipped his baod to the
filet that a few sales here and there don't
precisdy&lt;:ODStitute a crisis in his inteUectual life. "I stood on the steps of the
Vancouver Public Library one day last·
week and sold 518 wonb ef my poetry
within 3 hours," be boasted. It's just a
matter of having yollr work atailable
.. so the public can find it."
Gilben c:Wmed to be wdl-kilown in
VIUICOUver, havilla reached buodreds of
thoulandi of people by relldios a poem a
week on local TV. There's'no sw:h thing

as "Canada" anyway, Gilben argued.
"People do things in Montreal or Vancouver or Toronto, but not in Canada. "
Every community has poets who are
known locally and make an impact that
way. ·
Atwood, who a member of the audience felt was "'too tough" in arguing
with her mostly male counterpans, kept
returning to sales and distribution. Some
of her brothers listened; some didn't.
Chain bookstores are another threat to
the poet' s audience, she contended. Currently, chains account for 60 per cent of
all book sales in Canada, and are in a
position to effectively dictate who
publisl!es what. Nonh of the border, the
chains carry no poetry at all, Atwood
lamented. Their book ordering is handled exclusively through data banks which
operate out of the States and don ' t even
list poetry. Ordering books this way,
even for small bookstore owners; is effi~nt and fast. Orders are filled within
days; otherwise, a Toronto book seller
might have to wait eight weeks for a
Canadian book ordered from Vancouver.
A threat to young writers
Big bookstores and big publishers
threaten to push young wr(ters off the
shelves entirely, Atwood said: George
-Orwell's early sales figures were low, but
his reviews were good and his publisher
stuck with him . "They won't do that
now. ''
U/B's Robert Creeley offered that
publishers such as his own New Directions inveigle writers under contract to
agree to take less than usual royalties
when sales are bad in order to keep their
works in print.
The situation is such, Creeley and
Atwood agreed, that a whole generation
of young readers may grow up without
having any contact with poetry. Many
people used to discover poetry by browsing in bookstores. You don't get the
same effect when poems are available
only by mail order or through subscriptions. Poetry itself is threatened,
Atwood noted. The an may become a
closed affair ih which poets with reputations write for and are read only by
other poets.
The sorry state of affairs for poetry in
Canada, Atwood suggested, marks the
demise of what for the last 20 years has
been Canada' s only art form. "No one
published Canadian novelists," untilrecently, she complained. Canada had
no film industry , except for the peculiar
productions financed by the National
Film Board. But poetry flourished .. .at
least for a golden double decade.
Poets will soon have to take the means
of production into their own hands and
begin turning out mimeographed copies
to seU by mail and on the streets, Atwood opined. Peter CuUey, youngest of
the poets attending the Festival, said he
WB$ prepared to give .his work away if
need be.
Uttle IIUipzl-, FJvll Cootdlo
Little magazines publishing poets are
still as abundant as they have ever been,
a member of the audierice submitted.
Yes, agreed Jones, there are too many
magazines. Every college and every provincial ans council publishes one. It's
too much; too difiJCUit to focus on.
Atwood cbartled that the panel, poets
-mostly in their 40s aod SOs, was indifferent to the problellls of (mcling an audieoce for -young poetS. Name five importaDt Canad_ian poets under 30, she

demanded. "Why should we worry
about it," Jones wanted to know.

rock poetry is saying relevant things to
people in Boomtown, British ColUmbia,
and Bad 'Attitude, Michigan, a thin
voice piped-up. Poet Daphne Marlatt of
vancouver. agreed that a purely oral
poetry could survive. Not that everyone
agreed it shoUld. Jones harped again on
his basic theme that most Canadian
poetry today is ''prosaic." Too many
poets are turning out too many works
that are uniformly descriptive - duU
cliches without exc~·te
ent, he snoned.
. "The poets
Rebel 'Gilben
aren' t saying anytb ng."
Questions from the audience inquired
on the state of French poetry and about
how each of the poets on the panel got io
be a poet. By now, however, tl]e group
had wearied of talking one at a time.
They began to tallc across, over and
around one another. Ondaatje, reacting ·
tO· the discussion of audience, read a
passage about an English mmmaker
who produced a film for dogs. At a
premiere for ISO especially-invited dogs,
they rose as one and ate the screen.
Another of the panicipants, having
said and heard all he wanted to about
poetry at 3 p.m., had only one further
question he considered relevant :
"Where do you get a drink around this
place?"

Oilier---

Those attending a number of additional
sessions of the Festival assessed that the
poets were mostly interesting and al-ys
innovative when reading or performing
their own works. Ms. Atwood's presentation was called~"witty and wry," by
poetry buffs, while Ondaatje's poems
. reeked of his natiye Ceylon. Particularly 8ppealing among hil readings was a
pi'Oie piece, a remioiJcencc of the ratber
extraordinary romantic exploits of his
dlllllken father.

another leader in Toronto sound poetry,
then teamed with Nichol for a series of
skits that could play on Monty Python.
In one, Nichol stood behind McCaffrey
as the latter read lines of a poem from a
yellow pad. As McCaffrey delivered
each line, Nichol poked his head over
McCaffrey's shoulder and verbally
edited it. Once that was done for the entire poem, the two changed places. Now,
McCaffrey edited the edited version as
Nichol read it aloud. This was followed
by a piece in which McCaffrey uodid his
shin. Following came a rush of infinitives and nouns .strung tQIClher in
dada-like nonsense fashion. To cap off
the evening, McCaffrey did a piece
which was a parody of sounds that
might be uttered by someone with a
thick Italian accent, right out of the
1950's radio program, "Life with
Luigi."

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

French press
rarely tells all
By ANN WHITCHER

They had jammed the unimposing
Squire lecture hall. In fact, they were
perched on table tops or were craning
their necks from the back of the room,
where some, unfortunately. we re
squashed.
They had come to hear Roger Pierre
F ressoz, veteran French political
reporter and director of Le Canard Enchaine, the French satirical weekly.
(Saturday at a campus conference on
French civilization.] His topic? Freedom
of the press, a subject with which he is
overwhelmingly familiar.
Fressoz' kind of journalism, you see,
is unique. It's a blend of witty word play
coupled with not-so-gentle poking at
France' s frequently pompous politicians, alt hough other individuals and
non-political issues do not escape Le
Canard~s uncompromising eye. Often,
the paper has been the scene of serious
investigative coups - under the guise of
being the nation's " court jester," as
Fressoz himself described his paper's
role to an American journalist.
Fressoz, who turns 59 at the end of
this month, has been at the helm of Le
Canard since 1970, having been a
member of its editorial stafhince 1963 . .
He discussed the restrictions placed on
the French press, compared to the
relative freedom enjoyed by American
journalists. Many of these strictures
spring from custom and precedent, he
allowed. Fressoz, who spoke in French,
put it this way: "The French constitution (specifiCally the Declaration of the

Neeessary evil
Even as the French government became
philosophicall y attached to th e not io n o r
a free press in past centuries, the French
1hemselves ''have a lways had a certain
mist rust of the press," Fressoz stated.
And, he continued, the French govern·
ment has o ften co nsidered a free press
less an inalienable right .. th an a sort of
necessary evil. ••
Fressoz, a kindl y-faced, self-effacing
gentleman, related that each successive
government he has covered, has .. tried
through various mea ns to ma nipulate ...•
to anesthetize, neutralize a nd to fi na ll y
master the press.,.
Material which in other democra tic
countries would unquesti onably reach
the public, is not covered by the French
press. The mal eria l is sometimes serious;
occasionally it's downright ' 'ridicu·
lous."
Several months ago, he said, a jour·
nalist at Le Monde asked the econom y
ministry to release figures on how much
money had been spent on a ~mpaign to
encourage energy conse[Yation . "A
perfectly legitimate request, " said
Fressoz- The response, noted the French
journalist, was thai release of the figu res
would .. not be in the public interest."

Theft
Total under
$19,000; internal
action planned.
Someone said il looked like the Salvation Army garage on Military Road.
What he was referring to was the collection of surplus furniture recovered by
Campus Security in the course of an investigation of thefts of University equipment lhefls which may involve
employees.
,
President Robert L. Kell er displayed
the assortment of battered desks, metal
shelving, mattresses, a typewri ter.
cabinets, fire extinguishers and a fire ax
during an informal press conference at a
Ridge Lea storage facilit y last Thursday.
The to ur of the storeroom for the

press followed front page headlines that
morning in the Courier-Express which

claimed that $19,000 worth of property
had been retrieved and thgl "at least 15
University employees as well as several
moving company employees were said to
be involved."
Not on display was a $4,000
microscope which is under safekeeping.
Wortb less
President Keller emphasized thai the
value of the mostly dilapidated pieces on
view was well under the estimated
published report. He suggested the collection would be bener suited 10 a
homecoming bonfire Lhan to a furnitur
showroom.
The Courier-Exprt!SS based its story
on an 18-page investigative report whicb
U/ 8 Security Director Lee Griffin had
received from his staff. The confidential
report was somehow leaked to the press
either from on campus or from the
District Attorney's office. The material
had been turned over to the · DA in
August for possible criminal prosecution.
Published account s of the investi81ftive report said that Campus
Secufity had concluded thai a major
conspiracy existed between University
-.employees and personnel from moving
companies, Jhat a secretary had
destroyed records of all furniture stored
at two warehouses at the insistence of
her superior, that the retrieved propert y
had been taken from homes of suspects
including six U/8 employees, and that
one Campus Security officer had surt endered a $500-cabinet .
Apparently, some of the furniture was
taken when the University abandoned
the Allenhurst Apartments il used to
rent for dormitories. Other pieces were
misdirected during a whole series of
moves be.t ween Main Street and
Amherst. A few minor items were new .
A queen-size mattress and box
springs, new at the time it disappeared.
had been earmarked for an RA 's suite in
Ellicoll, but one oak desk and a pair of
glass and wood cases were obviously
remnants of a much earlier era of
University furnishings, probably dating
to the 1930s or before.
The Courier-Express alleged thai a
$40,000 computer had also disappeared
during a move, but Security Director
Griffin said the computer theft was not
related to the surplus furniture activities.
It had to be taken by someone who knew
computers, he added.
All we'll rerover
Griffin could not say that the furniture
on display last week was the only equipment taken, but it is aU that is known
about. He is persuaded that il is probably all that will be recovered.
One University spokesperson suggested thai some of the equipment may
hav~ been taken in good faith by individuals who were told by someone
theY' !hough! was in awhority, to "gel
that thing oul of here. ' This has been
known to happen in the case of surpl u ~
items which seem never to gel removed
from various offices. but are left sitting
around. Some of the "thefts," this
source suggested, may have been m'?re
an error in jud~ment tlian a criminal act.

Official statement
Because the investigative report haS been
turn~ over to the Dist rict Auo~ney,
Pres1dent Robert L. Keller could assue
only this statement about the maHer:
' ' As the University stated in Augu st, it
has been conducling an internal invesligation into the alleged theft of State
propeny over a period of years during
the move of units to the Amherst Campus. The results of this investigation
have been turned over to the District At-

torney's office and also h1ive been
shared with SUNY C04nsel's office.

"Any decision to press criminal
charges again st any individual rest s with
the District Altorney's office. which is
now reviewing the Uni versit y's repon.
Nevertheless, as the University stated in
August to the Dist rict Attorney 's office.
we intend to pursue internal disc iplinary
proceedings, when warranted, regardless
of any deci sion regarding criminal prosec ution .

"To that end , (I have) d irected the
Vice President for Business and Financr
to review internal inventory control pro-

ccd ures a nd to reco mm end d isciplinary
act ion based on the origi nal investiga tion conducted by the Univer si ty

Department of Public Safet y.

Pro-

cedures have been corrected and recommendations are expected to be made
soon to the President about di scip li nary
actions againsl in volved individuals ...

Independent Living Center will bring
the disabled of WNY into 20th Century
A U/ 8 graduate who helped form the
Independen ts organizalion for th e
disabled while working on hi s M .S. in
rehab counseling is d irector of a new
project which will bring "Weslern New
York into the 20th Century," where se rvices for the disabled are concerned.

Tony Serra said Monday !hal the
Western New York lnde~nd enl Living
Center, to be housed in a storefront neat

the Main Street Campus, will probabl y
open in January . Funded by a SIOO,OOO
one-year gran! from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation of the New York
State Office of Education, the Center is
one of a series of such facilities now being set up across Ihe nation under recent
federal legislation .
Its purpose, as Ihe name imp lies, will
be to help !he disabled live on their own.
Makes sense in several ways
Estimates are that it costs government

anywhere from S30,0IJO.S35,000 a year
to maintain each disabled individual
who is institutionalized, Serra pointed
out. For that person to live io the community requires only SIS,OOO-SI8,000 a
year. The concept makes sense financially, even though its primary aim has
nothing to do with dollars and cents.
The living environment has a major
impact on how well a disabled person
functions in a work or educational situation, Serra pointed oul.
The idea of the Center is 10 help the
10-15 per cent of the population who are
technically disabled "to get on with their
lives." to assi st them in meeting and
conquering ''the hassles of everyday li ving."' After that, Serra noted, the " res t
comes easy. ••
· The model for the local ce nter (and
the prototype for all such facilities) is the
Independent Living Center at Berkeley,
Calif. Serra took an internship there
while working on hi s master's. He
returned 10 Buffalo in 1978 convinced
the concept was needed here as well.
The federal legislation known as Title
VII was passed later, mean ing that local ,

organizers could try for govern ment
funding rather than havi ng to rely o n
private support.
The grant applicatiOJl wh ich he
spearheaded was success ful , Serra feel s,
because Buffalo is a major population
center enjoying all the reso urces
necessary to make the program work .
U/ B is one of the most important of
those resources, he suggested . jusl as the
Universi ty of California is vital t~ the
.
Berkeley operation .

Students in the School of Heahh
be involved in in nships at Ihe Center. This not
only wo I help the project but also will
afford students a hands-on educational
experience in what Serra views as '"the
wave of the future " in rehab work .
U/ 8 students will also be heavil y
relied on in development of a pool of
Personal Care Anendanls (PCAs} who
ca n help the disabled manage necessary
life details they can't take care of by
themselves. Students• schedul es offer
the nexibility for this kind of ass istance
wh ich the daily routines of others often
do not.

The Independent Living Cen ter (ILC},
Serra outlined. will train the disabled in
how to find PCA 's, how 10 use !hem
properly, how to deal with them on the
job, and how to fire one if the arrangement doesn't work out. Too often, he
noted, a disabled individual feels he o r
she can"t fire a helper 'fhO is proving
more of a hindrance than an aid.
The Center will also : provide peer
counseling on adju sting to disabilities;
perform advocacy services to aid individuals in making optimum use of services and special aids available under th e
law; help locate accessible housing, a nd
assist in adapting that housing to individual needs.
" People have been taught 10 be
dependent," said Serra. His aim is to
help them unlearn that. .. Give someone
a fish and he' ll have a meal. Teach someone how lo fi sh and he' ll eat

forever.'' he quotes.

Serra will have a staff of 6

10 8

people,

mosl of them disabled , to begi n the
Cenler's operations. This compares with
a staff of 175 at the prototype cen ter at
Berkeley. There, the ca se load is
.. thousands of people a year. " Here,
Serra has no idea how many .. consumers" the Center will be able to accommodate.
He does know I hat its operations will
require at least 1500 square feel or as
much space in excess of that amount as

the

bud~el

can bear. Serra will be

checking ou1 places close to I he campus
during the nexl two weeks and expecls lo
be able to announce final plans in the
near future.

hopes, will become a focal point for the
entire Western New York di sabled community. aS the Independents have

A 'suitable' profession
As an undergraduale at Canisius, Serra
was pushed inw being an accounting
major because thai field was considered
"su itable" for someone confined to a

wheelchair. Times have changed. The
only things limiting the disabled today,
he contends. are the restrictions they
place on themselves.
·
Some of the most famous inventors,
Serra noted , were disabled people who
dreamed up their inventions out of the
need to be able to accomplish a certain
ta sk. And, he added, Franklin

ShQgun saga:
was it accurate?
The overnight success of the mini-series
Shogun has led Japanese nationals in
America into an unfamiliar role, that of
TV critic, having uncharacteristically to
express an opinion as lo the accuracy
with which 17th century Japan was
presented by NBC. By a nd large they
have been dC:fensively crilical. Shogun is
unhi storical, it misrepresents Japan, it is
gratuitously brutal and ultimately insulting. In the face of Shogun 's record·
bleaking ratings, why do you suppose
the Japanese queried have responded so
unenthu siastically'!
My hunch is tha t the J apanese in the
U.S., li vi ng proof of their cou ntry's
post-war economic miracle, fear western
perception s of modern Japan may be

un favorably affected by thi s violence·
laden production . ll would be nice to

Elizabethan England didn'l have over
200 offenses punishable by death. But
1ha1 would distort the hi slorical record,
and more important, our understandin g
of the Japanese and their civilizatio~.
Shogun is the story o f a n Englishman ,
J o hn Blackthorne, shipwrecked in
J apan circa 1600, when that co untry was

Japanese quoted m the Courier thought
thi s implausible. She said , '" I don ' t
think that he would have been accepted

far-fetched."
Blacklhorne was real
Well, the Bljickthorne of fiction was real
enough. His real name in hi story was
-\Viii Adams, an English pilot shipwrecked in Japan. Adams proved an ~ inva luable adviso r to Lord Tokugawa

unafraid, willing to sacrifice his life at
the mere suggest ion of hi s lord,
dominates Japanese cultu re even tod ay.
Prior to Tokugawa's rise to Shogun, a nd
his imposition of a peace that was to last
until the "re-opening" of Japan by
Commodore Perry 250 years later,
Japan had been immersed in almost four
cen tu ries of civil war, the longest in
recorded hi story.
Life was short, nasty and brutish, a
Hobbesia n nightmare in which man was
pitted against man, with armies forever
marching up and down the island ar·
chipelago wreaking havoc. After a final
showdown with his rivals (at the Battle
f Sekigahagra in which over 160,000
troo ps took part!) Tokugawa leyasu
mad e successful use of western muskets
and battle techniques (learned from
Adams no doubt). and was able to impose a rigid if somewha t brutal peace.
Martyrdom aplenty
Christianity was ruthlessly suppressed,
with the Catholic c hurch recording the
highest number of martyrdoms ever
(upside-down crucifixion being the mosr
popular method), peasants disarmed ,
westerners expelled , and rigid s1andard s
of behavior for everyone. from Emperor
ro peasa nt , set down .
Along with these rules, went some of
the most creatively cruel punishment s
known to man, for those who dared to
disobey. They included tortu res with
such catchy nam es as "Scourging.''
" Hu gging the Stone, " "Suspension ,"
.. The Lobster," and "Goeman Buro"
(boiling in oil). By the time Tokugawa
handed the reigns of g_overnment over to
his son. all manner of behavior, including who could ride on horseback
and in palanquins was established for
rhe next three centuries.
To illustrate further, perhaps the most
famous sto ry in Japan , is that of th e
"Forty-seven Ronin " . ronin arc
maste rless samurai. There have been
co untless versions presented on stage,
"JV, movies, and puppet shows, usuall y
around the new year seaso n. ll tells of
forty-seven samurai who swore to
avenge the forced suicide of their Lord
Asano, who got into his pred icament
because he pulled his swo rd on Lord
Kira in the Shogun's castle, after Kira
had caused him ro " lose face" during a
courr ceremony. Asano's forty-seven
samu rai, now without their master ,
di vo rced their wives, became noodle
makers (imagine Seymour Knox sell ing
popcorn a t Sabres games!); any thin g to
co nvince the ever watchful authorities
that they had become uninterested nonpc ons ..
Of course, it wa s nil a ru se. After
three years, I hey re-assembled on ~rare
snowy night in Edo (Tokyo) dressed in
their fincsr warrior kimonos and attack·
ed th e mansion of Kira , killi ng him .
They im mediately turned themselves
over to a perplexed Shogun fo r judgement. On the one ha nd , the samurai had
been virruous to the departed Lord
Asano by fu lfilling their vendeua, on the
other hand . they had killed withi n the
Shogun's dom3in without sanction.

a

The lobs1er IOrlure: prccisel)' prescribed by Tokugawa lay, .

Tokugawa Shoguns that by the 1800's
samurai were pawning their swords, and
the mania) training they were forced to
undergo had become largely ceremonial
rather than real. We know that despite
having the most den sely-populated
society on earth, Japan is also the most
- crime-free, with murder and robbery
rates actually on the decline! It would
not be unfair to say that an era of anarchy was followed by peace, but a peace
in which vestiges of warfare played a
central role in pacifying the society and
seuing a fnoral code of behaVior based
on the warrio r eth ic. Japanese might
quarrel with the portrayal of Mariko.

Black thorne's illicit mistress-interpreter,
as an unrealistic model of wo man in an
era when they were seen but rarely
heard, or the use of some Japanese
language that has only recently become
pan of daily use. But on the whole,
James Clavell, a non-Japanese, has done
a remarkable job capturing the spiri t of
Samurai Japan.

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
Rgxxur Staff

With a wide, eager grin that comes easily, Charles Petrie recalls thai he started
college as an English major beciusc he
was set on .. learning how to write the

world's greatest noveL"
But, instead of plugging away at his
literary masterpiece, he started debating.
It paid off. His forensic skill eventually

won him an assistantship in Penn State's
Sl&gt;eech Department.

"'Once I got into the classroom, I
realited that this was probably the place
I belonged. Since then, I' ve decided it's
probably the only place I could exist."

Petrie worked as a hislorian for tlle
military and even took a crack at selling
radio time. But teaching gave ..him a
.. sense of well-being" he couldn' t get
elsewhere.
So he bid adieu to sales, went back for
a Ph .D., and ever si nce, has made hi s
livelihood pitching ideas.
The well-being Petrie feels in the
classrOom allows him to be .. natural. "
That is, he explains, his style doesn' t include "'playing games" with students or
"'always trying to be nice'" or "kidd ~ng
an yone into thin king he!s brillian t. "
From time t o time he 's eve n
"irascible, unpleasan t and ha rd-nosed,"
as he puts it.
'When I' m ongry, I don't hide it'

•• t try to get sludents to accept me as a
person and I try to accept and recognize
them as people. I' ve gradually taught
myself not 10 ;reat students as student s
but as individ b ls. I ask them only to do
the same for me. So when I get angry, , get angry. I don ' t try to hide it. "
Petrie says he considers himself ' !very
luck y" because he teac!.es a subject for
which he has great interest , and one that
"students respond to well. "
On the other hand, he points out, the
disadvantage of teaching communi~­
lion is that some students "think they
know it an before they stan."
Because most of his students have set
" opinions about the communications process, Petrie starts with what they think,
Ihen introduces an u element of doubt, "
so they may be inclined to critically
evaluate - or at least question - their
ideas.
Petrie doesn't think quality teaching
involves "a panicular style" or mel hod.
In fact, he remembers that the best
teacher he ever had, as far as he could

tell, "didn 't give a damn" v.ho he was.
" But I knew damned well he knew the
subject , was int erested and that I'd lea rn
something from him."
Above all, then , quality teaching 10
Petrie entails a consra nt investigation of
one's field , and, secondarily, finding a
manner of presentation which is "comfortab le. "
H is personal style differs ma rked ly
from that of his favorite prof. Petrie
simpl y feels he is "more effective" when
he establishes a relationship with his
students. They learn , in part , because
they know he "cares if they learn."
"That 's my style, but I don't mean to
suggest it's the best one," offered th e
awardee.
Students forgive him
Because st udents sense he cares, Petrie
claims they .. forgive him " for things he
swea rs would land other faculty in
grievance difficulties. For example, thi s
lean a nd mean grey-haired prof has been
known to " invite students to leave" the
class. He also is piqued by those who try

to '' run il con"
inform~ : .o n "

by merely .. regurgitati ng
rhey haven'r rea ll y
abou t or digested .
As much as he realizes that facuhy
ca n' t force a learning experience. Petrie
still " takes it personallr" when thing. ~
go bad in class. He's co nstantly trri ng to
figure ways he can reach student s. But
thi s also has its drawback s· " If I were to
criticize my o wn teaching I wou ld say
that somet imes I' m guilty of neglecting
the top of the class for the middle and
bonom."
Petrie feels facult y can too often
" convince" themselves the)' "know as
mu ch as they sound like they kn ow. " or
eq ua l danger, he feels, is that some come
to think respect is their "d ue."
Though it may have its pi tfalls, Petrie
enj oys his profclsion· In what other
field, he asks. ~ one get encouraged
to keep abreast of current information ,
enjoy stimulating contacl with people,
earn a decent salary. get hi ego massaged, and , perhaps most importantly, get
the opportunity to ' 'be a ham without

Retirement delay predicted at conference .
Expecting to retire at age 65? Don't
count on it, according to Dr. Eleanor
Jacobs, executive committee member of
U/B's Multidisciplinary Center for the
Study of Aging.
"We need aging people as never
before.'' said Jacobs, addressing a
seminar on Health and Aging• Older and
Better, part of a day-long symposium on
women's health sponsored by Buffalo's
Interagency Committee for fiomen's
Issues.
Observing the decr~sing birthrate
following the post-war baby boom,
Jacobs maintained that "with people living longer and fewer entering the job.
market because of zero populatton
grpWth, l'l!\lth will not be able to carry
the· butcR!Ii'·'Or increasing numbers of
old.?f' ~ple." •
She and her i:olleagues are working to
break down myths associated with aging
and to develop new methods to increase
' the options of the elderly and improve

their quality of life.
One such myth, that the brain does
not repair itself, is being challenged by
new research which shows that the brain
can indeed regenerate itself. "Although
the regenerative ·ability is greater in the
young," said Jacobs, "if we know the
right chemicals to introduce into older
people's brains, we can get growth ."
Depressloa Is • culprit

Other research is showing that the
effects of depression cause beltaviors
which look the same as senility. For example, depression can bring about a
memory loss that may be \liagnosed as
senility. Another stressful situation for
older people is lack of stimulation which
has now been shown to cause psychotic
behavior.
:
"It was found that patients having
open heart surgery ended up · with
psychotic behaviors. Nurses solved this
problem," said Jacobs, "by looking at

the recovery room and seeing that its
uniformity resulted in patients not
having reference points. There was no
loud talking, only a constant whir of
machines and perpetual isolation . The
minute the nurses put a calendar on the
ceiling, the number of psychot ic
episodes went down to zilch," she said.
Dillcnosis would llelp
If there were adequate diagnosis, many
of the problems of the aged could be improved by a cbange in lifestyle, Jacobs
suggested . She also sees the need to
change requirements when testing the
elderly. " It is merely a question of the
elderly needing' more time."
"What to do about tbese problems?"
asked the members of the seminar.
Jacobs suggested increasea information
on aging, individual exercise and nutritional prpgrams, and better planning.
"The younger person should realize he
or she will lead a longer life."

Exhausting session
opens eyes of Senators
to just what GE entails
Before a two and one-half hour SPecial
meeting of the Executive Committee
came to an exhausting close last week.
Faculty Senalors, perhaps for the first
time. realized what it would take to implement the current 11-course General
Education plan.
Even GE's strongest proponents admitted that an interpretation of the new
available implementation data was an
eye opener.
During and after 1he Committee heard
whal's popularly referred 10 as 1he
Cerveny Report - that is, the report of
the Task Force on Implementation
chaired by Management Professor
Roben Cerveny - questions quickly
surfaced about nuts and bolts effects or
the plan on current programs, departments and faculties.
The data seemed to indicate that in
order foi the current GE scheme to
work , a massive amount of resource
reallocation would be necessary, 'along
wilh faculty teaching courses outside
lheir own departmenls and GE
knowledge a reas.
Regarding the latter, Senator Barbara
Howell commented that many courses
are already being taught in I hat fashion.
For insta nce, Senate Chair Norman
Solkoff, a psychologisl, teaches elhics 10
medical st ud ents.
In cenain cases, Howell noted .
courses have been placed with particular
dcparunem s or faculties in a more or
less arb itrary way, so a realig nment
could be construclivc.
President Ketter, who stayed for the
entire meeting, ques ti o ned whether the
Universit y was "prepared" for such a
change. and even whe th er o utside inslituti ons would accept credit s for
co urse work ta ught in dcpartmenl s
whose faculty do not normall y leach
tha i subject. Ketter indi ca ted that a pronounced sense of " Jcr ril oriali ty" co uld
make a restru cturing of fac ullies a difricult tas k, particularl y wh en it means
reso urce reallocatio n.
· Other Comminee members wondered
aloud if more joinr appointments could
be used, and if so, which units would get
1he FTE credit. S1ill others questioned
whether a cross-over of facuhy was
pedagogically so und since students
would be taughl by those who aren't experts in a field.

"In 1he best or worlds, " conceded
Metzger, "we should have had this
feasibili1y study long ago."
.
'Gel on wllh II'
Wha1ever plan is accepted, Ketter lold
the group that the University must "get
on with it." It won't be the Administration which stymies the program, Ketler asserted, but ralher "guided selfinterest.''
Rising then argued lhat instead of
delaying implementation, some Gen Ed
courses should be on lhe books nexl
year. If implemenlation is pushed back,·
Rising predicted, faculty won't feel sufficient " press ure" to develop appropriate courses. As it is, he noted,
some now feel GE will never get off the
ground and refuse to bother with course
proposals until they are sure of implementation.
Other Senators disagreed . Solkoff offered that ·some faculty didn't bother
with proposals because they are concerned primarly with graduate education,
feel overloaded already, or "don't
respect " the GE Comminee or the program.
Geology professor Parker Calkin
commemed that hi s colleagues were
''turned orr• by the Co urse proposals
because they felt the inlroductory
courses available represe nted the best
I he departmem could offer. Some or I he
introductory courses have taken years to
refine, he noted. Addin g: "You can' t
make a good GE co urse in o ne yea r ... t j

GE 'numbers'
called 'scary'
by Senators

Seeing Ihe figures in the Cerveny Report
is one 1hing, knowing how to interpret
them is something else.
Faculty Seriate Executi ve Committee
member Neil Murray suggested a simple
mathematical procedure to gauge GE's
impacl on units.
According to the report (Table 9), the
Knowledge Area which contains Social
and Behavioral Sciences currently has
30,556 more student credit hours per
year than il will afler full implementaCan't rorce it
tion of lhe original GE plan . .
Senator Gerry Rising Said he was skepUsing that figure as an example, Mur·
tical about a glan that would force a
ray divided the number by 500 10 gel I he

New England, home of the Connecticut
Yankee. puritanism .and fiery bishops, is
also home to five million Americans Of
French-Canadian descent .
This surprisi ng fact was one of many
brought out during the Conference on

Contemporary French Civilization held
here last weekend.
The conference, coordinated by
U/B's Pierre Aubery and funded by
variou s organizations including the
Quebec government, covered a number
of iss ues: everything from the anguished
history of Franco-Ameri~ to the
aftermath of last spring's~~at of the
Quebec referendum on sovereignt y
association.
What of these Francophones in New
England? Claire Quintal, head of the
French program at Assumption College
and a second generation FrenchAmerican, said hers is an .. Unrecogni ze1 minority." Some of these Francophones (who came to the U.S. for
largely economic rea sons) settled in the
midwest and in Northern New York
State. Most came to New England.

Indeed , all the Franco-Americans
were regarded as " poor Canadian
fa rmers who had come to New England
to eke out a marginal li ving in the indust rial centers." Their stat us was hardly improved, when , if they were identified at all with the ••glorious" French
civilization - it was with a "decadent,

The unity was ev tdcm in the large '
number of French-language newspaper\
which once existed. "'Up until the
1950's, most of the major FrancoAmerican centers had their own Frenl"h

Women
They'v~

made gains
but equality lies
ahead, Brown says

By ANN WHITCHER
Women may have c. crossed the river,"
said Dr. Quincalee Brown, executive
director of the American Association of
University Women (AAUW), " but the
ocean lies ahead."
Brown, here to address last week ' s
U/ B Community Recognition Luncheon
honoring seven area women.• used this
lyrical quote - along with a shower of
statistics - to emphasize that, while
progress has been made, much remains
to be done if women are to achieve true
equality.
'
The AAUW official, who directs the
190,000-member organization from
offices in Washington, D.C., gave a
short and spirited speech to an overflow
audience of nearly SOO at the new waterfront Hilton. While short on astoundingly new information, the presentation was long on data on women s
changing roles. Apologizing for her
somewhat brisk detivery (she cited her
years as a debate coach), Brown was
very clear on one point: Things are
changing. Moreover, these changes in
family life appear inexorable.
The AAUW executive director noted
ihat today "(women) are more likely to
work ... and to have a college degree,
than Ihey were ten years ago."
A ~•olatio••ry c:Uaae
Brown cited a number of reasons for the

development, which some observers
have tenned a ''revolutionary social
change." She noted the increased
number of women in the U.S. labor
force (including those in their childbearing years); the rise of s&lt;&gt;-called
"non-family households" (i.e., persons
living alone or with friends); a spiraling
divorce rate, and increased life
expectancy.
On this last P!liftt, Brown recalled that
jn 1900, womefl "spent nearly 100 per
cent of their adult lives in the bearing
and raising of children." This, she went
on, was not only due to tjle mores of the
tome, but also to low tife expectancy about 48 years for women in 1900.
"Today, the life expectancy for
women is 78 and rising," said Brown.
She added that "a woman can now expect to spend only nine per cent of her
ad~lt life ill the bearing and raising of
children." Women bave their last child
. t the average age of 26. Also, the
average woman has aU her children in
school by age 33. Posed Brown wryly:
"Now she only has 4S more years to
worry about. 11
Wbere 40 per cent of the work force is
'female today. Brown said, "my guess is
that by the eod of the century, women
will ~ke up luz/fthe U.S. labor force."
She added another interesting statistic:
The U.S. Labor Department has proJected that "by 1999, 9S per cent of
.women between ages 1~ will be in the
work force. 11
• As it stands, noted the luncheon
speaker, .50 per cent o f married women
~~ working. And, an "astounding" 42
per cent of married women with preschool age child~n are in the labor
force.

A wards

Jessie Bernard , writing in The Future of
American Marriage. indicates bluntly
that "marriage makes women sick."
A somewhat different matrimonial
picture has been painted for men, she
said . "A male-dominated organization
like the American Council of Life Insurance,'' in studies it has conducted,
concludes that married men are happier,
healthier and more industrious than
single men, said Brown.
While contending that grim divorce
statistics and the increasing number of
"non-family" households augur poorly
for "what we think of as family life,"
she said the situation is not hopeless.
Brown stated that if men can learn to accommodate themselves to these changes
- by helping around the house and providing emotional support for their work ing wives - things might not be so bad
after all.
Citing a study out of SUNY at
Albany, Brown added with a grin: "If a
husband is willing to help out around the
hoose, his wife is 3 !1.1: times less likely 10
divorce him. "

of
employment ," Brown said, citing such
factors as the sharp rise in the number of
female engineering graduates. She added
that there has been a .. 460 per cent increase in the number of female truck
drivers and a 520 per cen t increase in the
number of female con struction
workers.'• The figures are for the years
1972-78 and are, of course, based on
very small numbers.
In business generally. however, the
picture remains bleak . Business women,
she said, having completed all the requisite training and J aving followed the
same career path .a's male co-workers,
still earn a salary vastly inferior to that
earned by men. The earnings gap between men and women, she said , has remained unchanged since 1967 . Brown
also used a frequently qumed statislic
that a woman in this country with a
four-year college degree earns the same,
on the average, as a man wilh an eighlh
grade education .
The situation of women throughout
the wor ld is far from breathtakingly
upbeat : women .. earn ten per cent of rhe
world's income and own one per cen t of
the world's property ."

Inequities persist
In addition to merely noting changes in
male-female roles, Brown argued that

Art can come ·
from everyday life,
feminist avows

_,

By STEPHANIE WEISMAN
Germaine Greer wa lked to the center of
the Katherine Cornell Theatre last
Wednesday and anno unced that a "portrait of a mind in actiOn" was coming.
Indeed, the Australian-born femi nist
spoke for an hour a nd a ha lf without a
note in front of her:
First to appear in this year's Fenton
Lecture series, Greer focused on women
in the arts. She pleaded for women to
mainrain and preserve their own a n,
which may not be considered great, but
which "creates environments tha t arc
free of the uniformit y of everyday life."
Greer, author of The Female Eunuch
and The Obstacle Race, holds a Ph .D. in
English Literature from Cambridge and
direct s the Ce nt er fo r Women' s
Literature at the University of Tulsa.
Her reputation preceded her; the hou se
was full.
Art says it is art
"Things that are (great} an ,'' sa1tf
Greer, "call themselves art." Thai's
Ttow we know they're art. They arc
defined by placing a barrier a ro und
themselves, separa ting them from their
surroundings. A painting is framed , and
a sculplure sirs alOp a plinlh .
She ex plained thai "women have
never really dislinguished lhcmsclves in
I his kind of arl which insisls on ils existe nce as monumenl s to hum an
end eavo r, furniture for crerni ty." No,
she said, "women are not auracred 10
this. If they are, 1hey arc not usuall y
very good or it' s at tremendous cost to
them selves.''
·There are, howeve r, art fo rms tha t
women parli cipa le in \\'hit.:h arc contiguous wil.h everyday life. G reer
acknowledged that we lend 1101 10
recognize 1hem as "arr' ' because th ey
arc not detached from exislencc.

('
Weavings on the wall
An example is what happened to the
work of Nava jo weavers. "Sudd enly,"
said G reer, " the world' di scove red it and
hung I he garment s up on the walls of a
mu seum. The clothes were stretched taut
a nd looked mummified .
" We aren't supposed to sec these
garment s on the wall ," said Gtccr.
.. Thcy'rt: supposed to be worn , get dirty." On the wall, they bear no
......, rcsemblan ~e to th e art of the Navajo,
but are now considered "art. ••
Greer feels that poerry is another example of how a rt has been separated
from life. "G reat poelry" is sci apart
''by surrounding it with a large area of
while paper," just as a framed painting
is di stinct from the rest of the world.
Women h3ve stayed away from poetry
because of their lack of education. If
they didn ' t know Greek or Latin, for example, they couldn't understand very
many poems unless I here wer-e 75 foo tnotes. "As long as the poetry was
beyond the period they li ved in, they had
no way or understanding it ," said Greer.
The exception would be informal poetry
I hat deals with everyday life.
"Suppose there was a time in history
when poetry was a bit like knining or
cOoking," she said. There was such a
time in rhe 18th century when women
wrote "occasional" poems full . of
'"charm, elegance easiness 3J1d clarity.
This was- a time when ladies wrOte
epistles asking people to tea. "

into survey courses. And if one did, it
was proba bly distorted. Ann Finch 's
"Noct urnal Reverie," for example, was
edited by Wordsworth , who turned it into a n Adam and Eve a llegory. Which i1
was nol.
" I'm beginning to think ·lhcsc women
were illiterate in man y ways,' ' Greer
reported. "I've fo und that one poet
could n't punclu atc at a ll. She was never
raughr to write gra mmatica l scntcm·cs.
Th is made it n e~.:cs s ar y for men t o edit
lhc poems.''
Because of problems like th ese G reer
has found it a "tall ord er 10 ge l a clear
view of what 18th century women
writers were up to."
What she is finding, however, is a way
to be proud of fema le heritage ... The
fun damental difference between then

Big foot
You really can't call him " Thunderfoot." Rich Phillips (52), a junior center
from Williamsville East, has made just
two of seven field goal attempts during
his football career here. But both have
been game winners (providing the 3-2
margi n over Grove City and the 9-7 victory over Rochester) . It was also Phillips
who si nglefootedly gave U/ B the 14·13
edge over Brockpon . Three o ut of five
ain' t bad.
Not that P_hillips hasn't mi ssed some
cru cial anempts a long the way. When he
misses, he report s, it' s because he 's been
guilt y of the kicker's cardinal sin : tak in g
his eye off the ball .
_ Does he get nervous when th ~re's six
seconds to go, the Bulls are trailing 6-7,
the distance is 41 yards, and it's all
riding on his foot? Yes, grins Phillips.
But on hi s two successful field goals, the
Bulls were able to call time out -prior to
the kick so he could talk th ings over with
Coach Dando (left) who helped calm
him -down . Phillips had a sore thigh
muscle hindering him during last week 's
excitement with SUNY / Albany. But he
should be ready to kick Ca'nisius around
on Saturday.

No apologies
Greer told her audience not to apo logize
fo r what is conside red to be the a rt of
women, but rather to celeb rate · those
values wh ich are continuous with eve ryday life. Pull the Navajo work orr the
walls , she urged. Don' t allow women 's

she begged. Home-made is a virtue, she

"If we do nothing else at the Tulsa

Carl Kowalkowski (above} becomes the " Rhi noceros" in the U/B product io n of the lonesco c lassic, opening t onight at the Center Theatre.

Rhinoceros
"Rhinoceros" Is one of French
playwright Eugene lonesco's most
brilliant
play&amp;.
American
audiences had an opportunity to
see It 1!81forrned in New York a few
years ago, with the late Zero
Most!ll In qne of the principal
roles. On October 16 It will open
the 19116-81 drama season of the
. Center Theatre, with the gifted
Buffalo actor Carl Kowalkowski
taking the Mostel role. Former U/B
graduate student Jerry Finnegan is
back in town to star as Berenger,
and the company will be rounded
out by present and former U/B
theatre students. "A strong and interesting cast," says director Saul
Elkin.
The action of the play takes
place around the sudden appearance In small town in France
of a rhinoceros. Soon there are two
rhinoceroses, then three a
"movement "
Is ,underway .
Gradually, the townsfolk decide
that they too will become
rhinoceroses, except for one man,
the anti-hero or Everyman,
Berenger. He's a weak and or&lt;ilnary fellow, neurotic in his personal habits, but with a core of
stubborn deceqcy and courage:
the only one to withstand the
temptation to conform. The play is
prqbabty e metaphor forlhe rise of
fascism (or any ideology that
sweeps a nation), but in an absurdist pla)'like this the audience can
draw Its own conclusions.
Elkin has decided to mount the
play in a rather unrealistic setting.
" I'm hoping that the opening
moment will look like a Magritte

a

painting," he says, ·and describes
the set design by Den Kopani as
"painterly and sculptural." The
music will be a collage of sounds
and electronic music.
. This will be another kind of
opening as well. It's the first
Theatre Department production in
the refurbished Center Theatre.
There's a brand.new facade at 681
Main Street, and the Off-Center
Cabaret has been redecorated. To
celebrate these improvements, a
reception will follow the opening
ni!Jht performance, with Rhine (for
rhmoceros) wine and other appropriate refreshments.

A Piece of
Monologue
Mabou Mines is an avant-garde
theatre company in New York that
has made a name for itself with its
striking productions of piJ YS by
the great Irish playwright,samuel
Beckett. One of the works was
"The Lost Ones," a solo piece performed by David Warrilow, who is
an English-born actor and one of
the founders of Mabou Mines. It
won an Obie Award in 1975 and
brought Mabou Mines and David
Warrllow Into national pro-

mlnence.
Next month David Warrilow will
perform another solo work, this
one written especially for him last
December by Beckett Called "A
Piece &lt;&gt;f Monologue," It was
described by Mel Gussow in the
New York Times this way: it is a
" dead-of-night soliloquy, an elegy
to the brevity of life and the proximity of death... On paper the work
is a poem. Performed, It breathes;
the actor gives it dramatic texture.
With his bony, Glacomettl-like
form and his eloquent voice, Mr.
Warrllow .. .is a quintessential
Beckett actor. 'A Piece of
Monologue' is a spellbinding
visitation from an artist's subconscious.,.
Warrllow's one Buffalo performance of "A Piece of Monologue"
will be at Harriman Theatre Studio
on November 5 at 8 P.M. It is being
presented by the Theatre Department and UUAB as part of an NEAsponsored fall tour.

Perspectives
"Perspectives" is the title of the
first Zodiaque Dance Co. performance this season. Presumably,
the name refers to the variety of
perspectives on dance that one
will get to see in a program shared
by classical ballet, modem ballet,
flamenco and jazz, not to mention
dancers representing several companies and even several countries.
Specifically, here's what will be
presented and by whom: Three
members of the Royal Academy
Dancers, directed by U/B faculty
members Ginger Burke and Olga

�many, and her 1 o.concert ·" Eric
Salle Series" In Tokyo were
described in the terms of critical
praise she had previously received
for her virtuoso performances of
new music by Messlanen, Boulez,
Xenakls, Takemltsu and Yuji
Takahashi (Miss Takahashi's
brother and, like herself, a former
Creative Associat&amp; at UIB).
.
· Her reviews from all over the
world - Japan, Germany, Poland ,
France, the U.S. - rave about her
technique, her musicianship, her
e.nergy and imagination. Miss
Takahash i is still in her twenties;
one surmises that her career will
be extraordinary.
She will make her debut as a
198()..81 artist-in-residence in Black
Mountain College II (formerly Col·
lege B) in two programs next
month: Saturday, November 8 at
the Katharine Cornell Theatre and

November 10 at Baird
more concerts will be

later. All are made
possible through an NEA grant ad·
ministered by Professor Morton
Feldman, with matching funds
from Black Mountain College II

The Media and
The Election
"American politics does noi
include any history of or tolerance
for sabotage, espionage, perjury,
forgery or burglary. " This is quoted
from
Frank
Manklewlcz's
testimony to the Senate Watergate
Committee In 1973. The rise Slid
fall of the president who Inspired
that sense of outrage was
chronicled in Manklewlcz's beSt·
selling book of that year, Perfectly
Clear: Nixon from Whittier to
Watergate and its sequel, US vs.
Nixon (1975).
. Mankiewicz is the thlld and final
Fenton Lecturer In the 11180 aeries

arranged by the Office of Cultural
Affairs. His talk is called " The
Media and the Election" and it will
examine the media's Incalculable
impact on the candidates and
issues. Mankiewicz is an old hand
at both .politics and media. Since
1977 he has been president of
National Public Radio. Before that
he was a frequent television commentator, and in 1974, together
with Dan Rather, he secured an ex·
elusive interview with Fidel Castro
which was broadcast nationwide
by CBS. A UCLA graduate with a
journalism degree from Columbia
and a law degree from Berkeley,
Mankiewicz was press secretary to
Senator Bobby Kennedy until
Kennedy's death, and subsequent·
ly a syndicated national columnist.
In 1972 he served as national
political director for George
McGovern's presidential campaign
against Nixon.
Mankiewicz' s look at the
media's role in politics is schedul·
ed for Tuesday, October 28 - ex·
actly one week before the election
- on the Woldman Theatre at 8
P.M. Free.

North Carolina and at Breadloaf in
Vermon t,- where she conducted
writing worlishops . Perhaps
because of those experiences
Miss Swenson maintains that "I
don't believe that how-to-make a
poem can be taught."
She now lives at Sea Cliff on the
north shore of Long Island, " at the
top of 41 wooden steps overlook·
ing the harbor with its sailboats,
.sw immers, fi shing, gulls and
ducks." This environment is the
subject matter of many of her
poems.
May Swenson will give a poetry
reading in the Katharine Cornell
Theatre on Thursday, November 6,
alB P.M. under the auspices of the
Oscar Silverman Memorial Fund.
The reading is free and open to all.

Aki Takahashi
in Residence
The Japanese pianist Aki
Takahashi is dlffic;;i/ to

many music critics to be one of the

music In the world. But she has an

The photographic poster has
become a rare... statement of
organiz'ational
expression .
Published in quantity by galleries
and museums for exhibition
publicity, the photographic poster
has allowed the fine photography
of the individual artist to combine
with the graphic design identifying
the arts Institution. The result is
fine art In a format affordable by
the public. For example, In 1976
the International Center of
·Photography in New York City held
a retrospective exhibition of the
work of Andreas Feininger. To
publicize the event the ICP designed a poster incorporating one of •
Feininger's images in a crisp,
clean poster. Now, long after the
end of the exhibit, the poster
stands on its own as a work of art.
This poster, along with 47 other
photographic posters, will be the
second show in Capen Gallery
(fifth floor of Capen Hall) this fall.
Some of the other photographic
posters are by such internationally
known masters ·as Edward Weston,
Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind;
there will be samples from the
Visual Studies Workshop in
Rochester; and even one from a
show called " Fourteen Words
Beginning with the Letters 'Pel'."
The show, presented by the Office
of Cultural Affairs, will run from
November 10 to December 9.
{Throughout October, the gallery is
exhi biting a Canadian photo·
graphy group show.)

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

                    <text>Honors program WOZ!ld be geared
to 200 of the State's best students
President Robert L. Ketter wants U/8 to
put tosether an honors prosram capable
or attracting the best students in the
nation, and particularly from
throughout New York State.
To look into the possibility, ICCIIer
this week appointed a 13-member commiuec or faculty and administrators, to .
be chaired by Dr. Barbara HoweU, professor or physioiOSY and vice chairpcrson/chairpcrson-&lt;:lect of the Faculty
Senate.
Higher Education has been obsessed
in recent years with the notion of
egalitarianism, . noted the President, in
sketching out preliminary ideas for the
offering for the RqKJrtn-. But we have
not had a counterbalance. He feels time
has come to offer special auention to the
brightest students. .
Ketter said he had no rigid preconceptions about bow such a prosram might
operate, o!J!er than to note that jt would
be inilcpendent or the General Education progtam proposed by the .Faculty
Senate, although obviously stimulated
by that program .

..,...
• lnldltloul lateral
Buffalo's educational tradition, the
quality or its faculty and the wide range
of its academic int&lt;;rests seem to Ketter
to make an honors prosram a natural
here. In the 1920s and 1930s, a strong
honors tutorial thrust was championed
by then CbanceUor Samud P. Capen.
The modem homors program, Ketter
noted, might be aimed at talented young
~who wish to ddve deeply into one
limited IUbject area. Or it might be
clirem!d toward those with interests and
apdtudcs in two or three areas who candecide on a single concentration.
There is now no program which caters to
the spccif"~e needs or the Iauer aroup,
Ketter said.

It might be possible, too, he went on,
to develop an honors situation in which
students would be offered early acceptance into a professional school after

successful

one

Towers illustrate maintenance woes
Those maiC:e-shift wooden tunnels now
surrounding entrances to the CookeHochsteuer towers are not designed to
protect you againSt winter winds when
trying to open the building doors, as you
may have thought . They are there to
keep bricks from falling on your head.
Burr Folts, assistant vice president for
physical facilities, used the CookeHochstetter example to explain to the
U/8 Council Friday the sometimes af&gt;.
surd l'fOblems his department runs into
In trymg to maintain 'and repair campus

,_lot

.....,..Ions.

Foly&gt; said. construction of tunnels at
the .entrances was the only thing that
could.)&lt; done-' locally to deal with the
constt\iction flaw at the towers. Bricks
are falling from the upper level window
ledges, he said. The long-term solution is
a major repair f':'nlract accompanied by
lepl action against the contractor. So
far, though, Folts indicated, the State
has refused to take lepl steps. A contract to repair the brick work wiD have
to be let sooner or later, President
Robert L. Kelter said, but the SUf.'IY
Coastruction Fund has done notliing
about that, either.
Folts,
&amp; Management Vice
President E. W. Doty and Facilities
PlaJuaiD&amp; Vice President John Neal Y',Cre
Ill the Council session to answer inquiries about maintenance procedures
on campus. Council concern developed
late lui winter following the dcatb$ of
two lhJdcnts in a plunge from an eighih
Door ElllcoU tower. Speculation 111 that
time- that a proteclive bar 111 the Window ~ have been llliuiq. That acc:uwion resulted in a series of concenis
about keeping campus facilities in prime
condition, particularly in residence
baUs.

Red tape and roastruction naws
Folts noted he is hamstrung by personnel shonages and bureaucratic red tape
in the race of both ~ construction flaws
and an increasing amount of vandalism.
When something needs repair, he
said, action can be taken immediately by
fiis staff, if necesSary supplies and manpower arc available. Outside union labor
can be used for repair jobs up to a dollar
limit of $15,000, including materials.
Beyond that. a request for the wor~ has
10 be developed for inc1usion in the SJate
budget for the following year.
To illustrate the point, Ketter noted
: that the porch on the University-owned
Frank Lloyd Wright House on Jewett
Parkway caved in two years ago, but
that the State bas yet to authorize its beiitg Tepilired;. • .
.. If we cannot repair it, we don't use ·
it," Doty explained. Or, said Folts, in· '

~1~c':~=: ~~e~~-e case
Chris Jasen, the student member of
the Cotmcil and also an RA in the
Ellicott Complex, raised several questions about what he considers slow service on work orders. He often "has to
call up 2S people" to see that something
is done, he said.
Folts retorted that every Monday
mornin&amp; Maintenance receives 300
repair orders from Ellicott, a workload
that strains the performance capabilities
of five carpenters and five carpenter's
assistants. "We have a seven-figure
repair budget," he noted.
In response to a panicular question
about venetian blinds, Folts said the

ones wbidt were original equipment in
the Ellicott Complex are not s,uitable.

They are too delicate and people have a
habit of taking them. He said he recommends some other type of window
covering. budget permitting.
Safety items are lligbest priority
Botti Folts and· Doty emphasized that
safety items receive the highest priority
among repair orders and that the
Physical Plant has carefully reviewed its
proced¥res for handling repair requests
and found them to be workable.
" It's a battle," Folts lamented. Vandalism alone runs to an average of
$16,000 a month during the regular
academic year. uwe cannot fix
everything; we're understaffed . .,
Folts pointed out that there is a
custodial service offiCe just for the
Ellicou Complex and that a plumber,
steamfitter and carpenter are at work
there all the time. He suggested RAs deal
directly with that office.
The smoke barrier doors in Ellicott
hallways are a prime ClUIIIIple of what
Maintenance is up agaiast, Folts said.
These doors are safety features, designed to contain smoke in the event of a
fire. Yet, he reponed, students repeatedly kick ou~tbe glass panels on the doors,
renderi~bem useless. Maintenance has
tried replacing the glass panels with
metal ones. But they, too, are kicked
out. Obviously, said Folts, trying to
keep abreast of this · problem takes
priority over replacing blinds.
Doty noted, too, that students resent
the administration's attempting to put a
stop to cooking in individual rooms. The
illegal cooking poses serious fire
hazards, Doty said, but students
consider the moves to stop it to be
snooping.

Students said not interested
in truth in testing materials

consider is development- of a tuttton
waiver or scholarship prosram for top
students, drawing on priYIIIe gifts and
endowment monies as possible funding
sources.
Ketter emphasized that these ideas are
preliminary at best. He hopes th.e faculty
committee will address these and other
considerations with the ultimate goal of
getting back to the idea of the liniversity
as a place for the intellectually elite, as
well as for large numbers of average to
good students . •
Someone has estimated that the top
300 or so freshmen admitted to U/8 annually are equal in academic ability and
background to any freshman class or
si milar size aa:epted by the most
prestigious liberal arts college. The new
program would be aimed at providing
enriched education for these and f9r
other talented students not now altracted to U/8.
In a formal charge to the committee
issued Tuesday, Ketter pledged its work
would have his "personal interest and
involvement." He urged that the commiuee's proposal he designed to em·
phasize a cOmmitment to academic excellence, and that it involve .. the most
outstanding faculty" representing the
full range of the University's academic
resources. The President called for a
program which rests on individual in·
teres! and ability but also provides for
faculty supervision. Faculty, the Presi·
dent said, "will be expected to participate as a result of their-commitment
to their profession and to U/8."

200 sttodeets wOIIId be l••ol•ed
Ketter said he expects perhaps 200
students at all levels to be involved.
He also informed the committee that
State University is attempting to develop
a system-wide honors program which
the local panel may wish to investigate
with an eye toward possible interaction.

The Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week received a preview or the
long-awaited report from the Task Fo~ce
on Implementation for General
Education.
Dubbed the Cerveny Report after
Task Force chair Robert Cerveny, from
the School of. Management, the 60-page
document details what is needed in terms
of staff and course sections to implement "the General Ed program, longdebated by the Faculty Senate.
With eraser and chalk in hand, Executive Committee member Michael
Metzger went to the blackboard to point
out some of the more salient parts of the
report.
The report, with its pages of figures
and chans that chaUenge interpretation,
will be printed in full in the Reporter,
October 23. The Executive Committee
met in special session yesterday to further examine the document before its
formal presentation to the Senate. A full
report of that roeeting will appear in
next week's Reporter.
Metzger began the preview by telling
the group that the Task Force worked in
what seemed like "concerted neutrality
towards General Education." The
report, therefore, contains no recommendations as such but rather presents
••scenarios based on findings."
The first set of data which Metzaer
discussed concerned the overail number
of course sections needed for GE Implementation- · But before citing any
fogures, he pointed to two related problems. The flrsl was that the Task Fon:e
made compqtations based Oil a
..O:.student per
mOclwe, wbich~
can be coosiderably more or less thlul
the act..al number·. Secondly, Meuaer
relayed that, under the curreut GE
suiddines, faculty who tead&gt; I!PPil)Ved
coursa are required to review samples
of their stucleuu' writins or math skills.
Giveo.the actual size of some classes, the
task WQUkl be nearly impossible, he
concluded.

seCtion

Up to l,.s6 ledlolos onay lie .eeoied
According to Met1.1er, the repon 'indicates that when GE is fully implemented, a minimum of 728 sections
will be needed. lf (as is the case now)
sections fill to about 65 per cent of
capacity, 1,119 will be needed. At SO per
cent capacity, the number jumps to
1,456.
After the first two years of implementation, the report indica~es. 70 per ceDI
of the sections needed for GE must be
operating. In ter¥Js of credit hours,
Metzaer noted lol[at given the curreot
11-course requirement, GE is expected
to consume about 25 per cent of the
4110,000 credit hours now offered on
campus. "That means 25 per cent of our

low numbers or majors stand to benefit
from implementation because they have
fewer people who can get exempted
from requirements in their area, Metzaer
relayed.
·
To get estimates on the supply side,
Metzger noted, the Task Force worked
with ''nominal capacities'' instead of actual enrollments. Departments geoerally
have to indicate such capacities for each
class.
The group then doubled the capacity
figures to get an annualized rate. The
trouble here, Metzger pointed out, is
that in spring semester the number or offerings usually drops, so here, too,
figures are subject to "distortion. u

Metzaer submitted.

figures for his finale.

This model, Peradouo said: falls within
the range of feasibiU ty; provides a
sinsJe, uniform GE program for all
undergraduates; opens up electives, and
phases in the program in such a way as
to encourage development and submission of General Ed courses "looking
toward the time, in Yeat Ill and
thereafter, when GE requirements may

0

be fulfilled only from the list of approved GE courses."
Further. said Peradotto, this
..minimal" alternative would enCourage
1~. OE panel 10 insist upon high stand;uds for coun;es, rather than to sli&amp;ht
those standards out of fear of insufficient supply.
Peradotto sees "a small chance" of
his alternati ve being ready by September
1981 - a chance that could be realized
only with "a measure of cooperation,
agreement, and timing that is rare in
such matters." But, if his plan were
found acceptable, he said, " there would

be absolutdy no ucw:e for delaying
implementation past "September, 1982."
Peradouo noted funher that the
utheme" requirement or the original

~...,!:.':.1' ·~~ed ~ya:.=
reconoiitered. .. But, lie - · ''the rat
of the program should not be deferred"
until -that is done. When fmaUy thrashed
out, themes could be added, if not in
their original form.
General Education also needs a rmn
commitment of resources from administration, Peradouo susgested.
The debate goes on.

Doyno proposes merit ,money
aUQcation be substantially changed
A proposal by English Professor Vic
Ooyno which would substantially alter
the -y merit money is currently
allocated was aired before the Faculty
Senate Executive Committee last week .
Doyno told the Committee, and they
generally concurred, that most merit
money is presently doled out to faculty
who are productive researchers rather
than quality teachers. To correct this
perceived inequity and recognize other
contn"butions of faculty, Ooyno sugaested that ror the next four years, the
funds be divided more or-less equally into four segments: "research or creative

acbievement;" ''departmental or
Univenity administration;'' ''effective
tc:ac:biD&amp;;" and "outstandiq service to

students and the University."
Under his proposal, depanment
chairs could alter the allocation by five
per cent either -y. with 110 category
receivina more than 30 per cent or less
than 20 "except under extraotdinary
circumstanceS.''
Doyno said President Ketter has
forwarded a copy or the proposal to·
both the VPAA and the VPHS for
consideration.

Ill 1'GotWollllel f«
Acconlin&amp; to Ooyno, the proposal, for
the forst time, provides t~uiddines for the
-y merit funds lhould be allocated, as
well as a vehlde for omciall)' recosnizilltl important contributions which normally 110 UDDOtic:ed •
HopdUIIJ, taculty could compete in

at leas_0wo out of fQUr categories,
though they only need to quaUfy in one
to be nominated, be explained.
Because more people will be competing in the research category, Doyno
predicted that competition there will get
tighter. The plan would also provide an
incentiye for faculty to begin documentina their extra-&lt;:Urricular services to the
depanment, university and students, he
addecl It would also help eUminate
"aonyism" in discharging merit funds.
Prof. Michad Metzger susgested that
Doyno consider addina a fifth category
that would address wage inequities
within depanments. EOP Director Ed
Jenkins and Librarian Dorothy
Woodson then pointed out that the proposal also fails to include a provision for
rewardina non-teacbina faculty.
John Boot, from the School - of
Manqement, praised the -y the proposal would recopize faculty for
generally "owrlooked services," such as
advisement, which bear directly on the
quality or student Ufe; and by extension,
on retention.

and that the whole issue rightfully
should fall under the purview of administration rather than faculty.
In counterpoint, another Senator insisted that in order for the proposal to
work effectivdy, merit allocations have
to be "taken out of the hands of depanmeru chairs'' wbo are saddk:d with other
inequities they must ameliorate and
given to those: in a better position to
judge teachina quaUty and student service, such as students themselves, or the
Ofrtce of the VP for Student Affairs.
Doyno doesn' t think it imponant who
decides about allocations so long as
departments set their own goals and
priorities which faculty can work
toward.
The proposal will be refined by Doyno
and resubmitted to the Executi~ Committee. Several members indicated -they
would suppon it if certain modifications
weremade.

The Undergraduate Library has extended its loan period from two to four
weelcs effective this semester for all circulatiJia Ubrary materials.
Accordina to Libraries Director
Salttidas Roy, the UGL "hopes students
will rmc1 this new loan period advantaaeous. This c:banae will make the
Undergraduate Library's loan period
comparable with those of the otber
Ubraries in the system."

l'sycbolosy Professor Neil Murray, on
the other band, obja:ted because he felt
the proposal worts counter to the prime
research mission or the University.
Other members of the committ.. expressed equally diveraent points or view.
One representative complained that the
plan seemed to undermine the authority
or the~ chair in such decisions

A conference designed to spur studies of
contemporary French culture and
language as an aid to international
understanding will be conducted here
October 9 to 12.
The conference is supported by the
State University Research Foundation,
the Graduate School and the Jones
Chair in the Department of Modern
Languages and Literature.
The Cultural Services division of the
French Embassy and the Quebec government also are contributors.
Dr. Pierre L. Aubery, director of the
French Program in the Modern
Languages Department, said the fourday conference is expected to auract
about 100 scholars, researchers and
teachers as well as qualified experts in a
multitude of subjects relating to French
culture from throughout North America
and France. The program is titled "Contemporary French Civilization and Its
Impact on North American Politics and
Society."
·
Aubery said the.public is invited to attend any of the sessions.

French culture .not elitist
Too many people think of French
culture as elitist, Aubery feels . "When
one thinks of France," he laments, "it's
usually Versailles, Louis the XIV,
elaborate chateaus, the Sorbonne and
haute coutre." The truth of the matter,
however, is that the culture of France,
particularly in recent times, is a culture
of working people having tittle connection with such grandiose notions.
Aubery disclosed that the conferees
will form a Council for French Social
and Cultural Studies to " promote the
study of contemporary French civilization as a distinct (educational)
discipline."
The conference will focus on
similarities and differences in French ~
speaking cultures throughout the world,
with special emphasis on New England,
Quel&gt;ec and France itself.
Quebec: a cue Ia point
The emphasis the conference will place
on Quebec is a special indication of its
thrust toward encouraging a more 'accurate and realistic image of the French.
Quebec, Aubery notes, was, until very
recently, looked down ilpon by French
scholars. The language wasn't considered uure enough and the accents
were ba6, these scholars complained.
When U/8, for example, was advertising for professors of French in the early
1960s, Aubery recalls, it was made clear
that "No Quebecers Need Apply."
Aubery says that part of the put-&lt;lown
of Quebec stemmed from the fact that
its culture is de/tnite/y a popular rather
than elitist one. He finds Quebec a
perfect "laboratory for" contemporary
French studies.
Aubery observed that the program is
in keeping with the fmdings of a
25-member federal commission which
reponed to the President last November.
The commission, headed by James A.
Perkins, chairman of the International
Council for Educational Development
and former Cornell University president, recommended greater emphasis on
the teaching of foreiJn l,anguages within
a cultural framework to keep pace with
growing interdependence among nations
and as an aid to U.S. national security.
Referring to what he caDed a "crisis"
in language studies stemming from weak
language requirements at both the hi&amp;h
scho61 and college levels, Aubery commented that this has resulted in faculty
attritibn in language depanments at a
time "when U.S. relations with other

UllluAI

from lbe CCIIIIIIIIJIIity attcDded the
CommunityUIIhaslty DqCJPI!II bcue, SaadaJ, aD over the Amhenl Campus.

whi ch Aubery describes as the only
paper in France currently doing
in vestigati ve reporting. Fressoz is
especially well-known for his scathing
columns during the DeGauUe era in
which he reported on the formidable
·General in the same terms used by the
chroniclers of the Court of Louis XIV.
The French talk a lot about revolution, Aubery noted, but many members
of the French establishment still have a
monarchial mentality. For example, he
la ughed, after the French Revolution
they turned to Napoleon; after the
Revolution of 1848, they got Napoleon
Ill, and after the liberation from the
Nazis, came DeGaulle.
.
Fressoz lampooned DeGaulle's londly
pretensions every week for 12 years in
the pages of his journal, much to the
delight of the French public. These columns have been collected in three
volumes published as The Court, The
King and The Reign.
Fressoz will be featured in a program
on "Freedom of the Press,'' Saturday
afternoon at 4 p.m. in 339 Squire.
Keynote speakers for the conference
are scheduled as follows:
Nicholas Wahl, professor of political
sociology and director of the Institute of
French Studies, New York University,
9:30a.m. Friday, October 10.
Edouard Morot-Sir of the University
of North Carolina, director of the
French Institute, Washington, D.C., 9
a.m . Saturday, October II.
Bernard-Henri LeVy, author of The
Testament of God, 9:30 a.m. Sunday,
October 12.
Participants also will attend panel sessions of their choice from among 17
being offered.
Panel topics · include: the French
minority in New England, French
cinema, women in France today, the
French political scene, and Quebec after
the defeat of the separatist n:ferendum.
A lecture at 6 p.m. Saturday, October
II, will feature Jacques Attali, an
economist from Paris. He will speak on
"The Role of France in the New International Economic Order.''
A banquet session on Saturday,
October II, will hear Germaine Brce,
Kenan Professor at Wake Forest University.
Most sessions will be held in Scfuire
Hall at Main Street.
Solzloealllyll's CloiNftll
Of special significance to those interested in French civilizatioD, Aubery
said, will be the public showing of the
film, "Solzhenitsyn's Children Are
Making a Lot of Noise in Pari.," produced by the National Film Board of
Canada.
The showing of Micluld Rubbo's ftlm
journey into the byways of the French
left is scheduled fo.r 9 p.m. Thursday
(October 9) in the Squire Hall Conference Theatre.
Further information may be obtained
by contacting Aubery, conference i:oordinator, at 636-2191.

Staff

When Judith Ronald teaches, it's impo_rtant for her to present information in an
organiud fashion, and for her students
to see its place as pan of a "coherent

whole."
"That's ihe math side of me," explains Ronald who worked for IBM as a
systems engineer before going back to
school for a degree In nursing.
Her position with IBM was interesting
enough, but Ron\lld craved morein the
way of human interaction. What she
wanted was a profession that left an impact on people. Nursing filled t he bilL
After working as a nurse fi t several
years, helping student nurses deliver patient care, Ronald thinks of her faculty

role as a --natural progression" - one
which allows her to experience the
rewards of two distinct, yet complementary professions.
Before this math-major-turned-nurse
sets foot in the c:laosroom, she knows exactly wllat ber teaching objectives '"'!
for the day. While she works from an
outline, she c:...-rqes questions at any
time ud will "reconstruct" a lecture if
explorfna d~s makes KIO&lt;e' sense
or oeans imponam to her studet!ts.
"I try to be-.litive to that," she offers.

Sellsllift •• Ronald is also sensitive to yawns or
looks of boredom. For that reason, this
wactitioner-teacher tries to make the
didal;lic material she presents more
relative- by drawin&amp; on her clinical experiences.

If she still senses that the class is having difficult y understanding or seems
listless, she tries to find out if it's just a
bad day, or her, or both .
"Classes have t_heir own personalities
so you can reall y sense when something
is wrong. You can see it in individuals as
well , by the way they respond when
you're talking.
"Student s alwa ys think they ' re
anon ymou s, but they're not, " she add s.
Ronald says she' s been ·• very for·
tunate" in that when she' s had to put it
on the line about a possible pro blem ,
students have responded candidl y.

II took work
For Ronald , knowi ng how to teach effectively isn't so mething that just happened with the wave of a good fairy 's
wand. It involved a long trial, error a nd
weeding process.
She utili zes student evaluations, which
some faculty view as pain, to facilita te
the sifting process.
At semester's end, she collects them
from each class, then examines the
forms for commonalities both
positive and negative.
When she feels alterations are in
order, she makes them . But she doesn' t
do it "willy-nilly," just for the sake of
change.
Ronald has round that occasionally
enlisting the help of outside speakers is
good ror classroom dynamics. So is using audio-visual material. She also finds
students appreciate her policy or returning papers as quickly as possible with
comments about both their finer and less
well put-tosether aspects.
Respect for students, sensitivity to
their needs and fair treatment rank high
on · Ronald's list of good teaching
characteristics. So do being genuinely
knowledgeable about the area one
teaches and having the ability to "put it
across," two di stinct talents, she notes.
Speaking personally, Ronald hopes
her st udent s view her a s possessing all
the aboVe, but also, and perhaps most
importantly, a s a person who "helps

a

them learn how to learn."
Not~likesller

Ronald knows enough human
psychology to realize that even though
she wants students to like her and her
style, some won't. When she sees this
type of conflict brewing, she says she
"acknowledges the problem ," and
"tries to work around it" with a focu s
on meeting common goals.
Over 12 years of teaching here,
Ronald has had many rewarding experiences, but on a day-to-day level she

feels that helping lwr Sludents cope with
major issues in nursint i'5 t-bt: 111ost
fulfilling.
"We deal with life and death matters
which other Sllllicnts generally · don't
have to think about, " sbc says.
"It's very rewarding 10 hdp Rodents
deal with their own feelings on these
issues, and in turn. to see them help pa.
tient s or thei r families deal with theirs.
For me, that's sdfiih, because it's what
gives me a lift; to feel that what I've
done is somehow meaningful . . and
worthwhile."

Teaching Quality report
sparks lively discussion
The first reading of the Faculty Senate
Repon on Teaching Quality ignited
sparks of criticism and praise Tuesday.
It was the most lively debate among
Senators so far this semester.
Minutes earlier, the topic had been ex·
plored by President Keller in a formal
address, met by a solid round of applause from Senators. (See story above.)
The repon, which focuses on the in·
terpersonal communication aspects of
quality teaching, recommends that the
Senate endorse "general principles of ef·
fective interpersonal communication"
as guidelines or ideals, with the hope
that they would eventually become
"Uni_versity standards" for qualitx
teachmg.
The three principles in essence are that
teachers should "treat students as in·
dividuals, not as stereotypes;•• that
teachers should tell students ''what is ex~
pected of them and how they will be
evaluated,'' and !hat faculty should be
mindful !hey are teaching "persons
primarily and a subject secondarily."
AdditionaUy, !he repqn notes that
teachers sboukl strive to " maintain and
communicate superior standards of perfonnance." encourage students to work
to their "highest levels," and " express
enthusiasm" for their subject and
students. This can be accomplished by
aslrin&amp; students to contribute to a class
and by &amp;iving "trenchant, tactful and
timdy critiques" of !heir contributions.

o.
....... - .......
Because of different teaching styles and
practioes, the commillee felt it inappropriate to offer one model for effec·
live teaching. It did recommend,
however, that effectiveness be defined
by the department and that criteria
"adhere to the gener1l) principles of ef.
fective communication."
The report also offers guidelines on
what materials should be included in
dossiers for promOtion and tenure as a
means of documenting teaching quality.
FinaUy, recognizing !hat !he Universi·
ty offers li!tle in the way of classroom
~ for TAs and faculty, the Com·
nuttee recommeDds !hat a " mandatory
Univcnity-wide" training program for
T As be established and !hat an Jnstructiooal Devdopmeot Center be created to
"provide confidential consultation" to
f~ty and teaching assistants who want
to tmprove leal:hing techniques.
One of the ftrSt to question !he pro·
posa1 was a representative from the Law
School who recalled !hat her colleagues
once pappled with a definition of
teacbi111 quality but found it difficult at
best to arrive at any consensus. She
warned fiiCUity that their depanments
'!ould probably have an equally arduous
lime dealing with it.
Fonner Senate Chair Newton Garver
rose to say he was "outraged" by the in·
elusion of such interpersonal considera·
lions -in judgments on ltaching quality.
He cautioned that the proposal would
put pressure on faculty to become involved in areas !hat are none of their
concan. In essence, be felt the proposal
stood as an uinvitation to corruption."

a.... ,• .,._
Janice Trioe from !he Sehool of
Management pointed out !here is no

definitive set of st udies sayi ng that at-

titudinal aspects affect teaching qualit y.
Since this is th e case, she suggested that
the Senate not .. tie promotion to
somet hin g that isn ' t defined or
measured ."
Physical Education Professor Carolyn
Thomas urged Garver to look at the
mauer from a broadef perspective.
Communication is important, s he
assened, especially when st udents are
leaving the University in numbers
because they don't feel faculty "give a
damn." Thomas said she personally
feels the quality of teaching is worse
with tenured senior faculty who are not
panicularly receptive to change.
Senator Ed Dudley from Languages
told the group that while he rejects a
" prescription" approach to interpersonal communication and relationships,
they do take place in class for bener or
worse, and should be discussed by the
Senate.
. One Senator countered that fostering
tnterpersonal relations with students was
difficult given large classes and " mass
education" at the University. Another
assened that qual ity teaching has
"nothing to do"' with interpersonal relations, but is rather related to the degree
to which learning takes place.
Tried In 1974

Vic Doyno from English recalled that in
1974 the Senate tried to improve
teaching qualit y on campus by recom·
mending a Center for Teaching Development .
Doyno charged that Administration
never acted on the recommendation so it
is time to .. put u4:&gt; or shut up."
President K«!fier reminded !he group
that in '74 the Senate had endorsed
several ideas - all of which involved
spending money - without prioritizing
their recommendations. Ketter indicated
he had no objections to establishing a
Center but wanted faculty to realize that
it it gets funded, other items "get less."
'nie Senate also heard status repons
from VPHS F. Carter Pannill, Bill
Allen, president of the local UUP
Chapter, and Bernard Greenblau, chair·
man of the Faculty Tenure and
Privileges Committee.
On the positive side, Pannill expressed
conftdence that the Liaison Commiuee
for Medical Education, which is visiti ng
the Med School this week will find defi·
ciencies only in ph ysical facilities and
not programs.
UUP Chapter President Bill Allen
gave a rundown of curTent union activities, statewide and locally.
Beside gearing up for contract
negotiations, Allen said UUP is keeping
informed of SUNY ·wide academic plan·
ning and r~n!ly sent observers to
Albany, to a meeting concerning it,
On a state:level, the union is also
planning a fundraiser whose proceeds
will go to supply office equipment for
independent Polish unions. In addition ,
UUP is working to enact a type of GI
Bill for workers who have been displac·
ed by industrialization.
Locally, Allen noted that the chapter
is continuing !heir liaison effons with

Nonetheless. as a 1973 research study

Faculty, Ketter no ted , "arc able to in n uence attitudes which deal with the
value placed upon truth and the co ntinu ing pursuit of it ; they are instruments
which contribute to the refioement of indiv~du.al sensitivity and awareness; they
assast tn the creation of a humane stance
to.ward life" - not "that every .. st udent
wtll have the inclination o r even the
ability to pursue thi s type of personal

th~

In and out of class
Available research confi rm s, he said,
that the greatest impact a faculty
member may have on the ed ucational
and personal development o( a student
takes place when there is in teraction between the two both inside and outside a
classroom seuing. ''The question is what
type of inst ructor will most lik ely engage
in thi s interaction, and in what type of

Affirmative Ac.ti6n
To: Members of the University Community
From: Roben L. Keller
Since the publication on May II , 1973, of !he University's ftnt Affmnative
Actton Plan, !here have been many changes in Federal and State Laws. Afftr·
mattve acuon has been made applicable to more groups, and the requirements
pl.aoed upon the Uruventty have been defined more clearly and forcibly. In !his
cltma!e, the. State University of New York at Buffalo reaffirms its long·
standmg policy of eq~al access to all persons seeldng admission to its programs
and employment. on tl~ staff. Affirmative action is seen as essential to the full
re&amp;!tza!Ion of !hts pobey and remains one of !he highest commiunents of !he
l!m~ersuy ..1 hope, however, that our determination to ensure that the Universuy s P'!rsull of exoellenoe is enhanced by increased racial and sexual diversity
among tis staff and students goes beyond !he requirements pa.c.d upon us.
As Prestdent, I ~ deeply committed to the compatible goals of academic
excellence and a raaally and sexually diverse campus community. I shall contmue to stnve to correct any identified underutilization of minorities women ,
and other ap~ropriate !fro~ pings, and to provide !hem equal com~tion in
accordance wtth the pnnaple of equal employment opponunities, applicable
government dtrecuves and laws, and State University guidelines. I shall con·
unuall~ seek .to assist in the creation of a working environment conducive to
professtonal growth and free from racial or sexnal bias or harassment
·
As a U!liversity, however, we operat~ in a highly decentralized wa·y. lmplementauon cannot be left only to adm UiiStrative officers, deans, and direct?rs . The effon to make Affirmative Action a pan of every management deci·
ston must depend for tiS success on the active cooperation and suppon of all
members of the campus community. All of us are responsible for building a
sup.portove and open. community in which all persons, regardless of raoe, sex,
nauonal ongm, religton, age or handicap, can pursue their professional
careers.
•
I recognize that many of you have worked hard and long to this end .
Although much ~as been accomplished·, I share your hope and determination
that even more wtll yet be ac;lueved: lf.lhe ienewal of our commitment to help
solve on_e o~ t he m&lt;?st pressl!'g soc1al 1ssues of our time is to yield increasing
results, It w1~ requtre m a l!~e.. of fi.scal stri.ngency the mustering of unused
energy, fore5!ghl, ahd creabVt!y. It ts espectally important that members of
searc:tt committees_ for .f~culty and senior administrative positions seek out and
encourage able mmo~ues an~ w~men to app.ly f?r these positioll$. Together
we can help create an mstttuuon m wbtch the JUS!Ice of affirmative action and
equal employment opponunity is a reality.

Lucey labels
Carter and Reagan
'garbage' candidates
They loved Lucey.
Former Wisconsin Governor Patrick
Lucey, John Anderson 's running mate
and the only national candidate to appear on campus this year. received a
standing ovation Monday in Squire
Conference Theatre following a blistering attack on the "garbage" candidates
of the IWO major parties.
The dapper, greying Lucey, a Kennedy Democrat who was there in Los
Angeles when Bobby was shot and who
backed Teddy in this year's Democratic
donnybrook , rejected the idea that he
and Anderson are the ••spoilers" in this
year's race. The one candidate who
won't appear in free and open debate
and the other with the simplistic ideas
are the ones who are spoiling things, he
snorted.
Either Carter will come out of the
Rose Garden and defend his policies, or
the American people will drag him out
on ~lecrion day, he vice presidential
hopeful predicted .
.
Americans are being offered a chance
to decide whether they want to vote for
the past, the present or the future , Lucey
asserted . In his view, a vote for Reagan
is a vote for 19th Century solutions to
late 20th Century problems; a vote for
Caner is an endorsement of the present ,
with its high unemployment , runaway
innation , astronomical interest rates,
energy crises, and foreign policy disarray. Anderson, th ough, "is identiried
with the future, with a new and independent course. That 's why he's po pular
with young people."

/

r

Who's ror whal
Caner and Reagan both back the MX
missile, Lucey said. Anderson thinks it's
a S65 billion boondoggle.
Carter champions draft registration,
but Anderson supports a voluntary army, opposes the draft and registration ,
Lucey intoned, emphasizing what the
crowd wanted to hear.
Carter and Reagan want to escalate
milit3:ry spending in preparation for
nuclear war. Anderso n supports Salt II .
Carter is wed to synthetic fuel production, something which, Lucey said,
poses environmental hazards. Reagan
wants to unleash big oil from all controls
as a means of increasing production.
Anderson, Lucey contrasted, backs conservation and solar energy, I he development of renewable energy sources.
"Caner doesn't deserve a second term

and Reagan doesn ' t deserve a first one,''
the candidate summarized .
Lucey auached the " myth" that Jimmy Carter is " nice and decent. " That's
fal se, he said: Carter's attitude abou t
debates has been "peuy and political,"
first with Kennedy and now with Anderson. Carter has directed the Democratic
National Commiuee 10 spend $250,000
in unsuccessful attempts to keep
Anderson-Lucey off the ballot in
va riou s states. Now, charged Lucey, the
Carter people are warning banks not to
lend money to the Anderson campaign
under threat of regulatory retribution .
Grants are a girt's best friend
Caner has used the Wh ile House and
federal funds for his own political ends
as no president ever has, Lucey accused.
He ofrered this laundry list of alleged
abuses: An airbase in Maine was resc ued
from the scrap heap just before the
primary there. Interstate highwa ys were
funded in Co nnecticut, suspiciously
close to the elections. Jane Byrne and
C hicago got SIOO million after Her
Honor decided to back Caner after all.
("Diamonds are a gi rl 's best friend, but
federal gram s are a close second ,"
Lucey reported the mayor as saying. )
Canal residents had to wait until the
height of the campaign to receive fede ral
relief funds. And Cuban refu gees are
now being spirited o ut of Arkansas and
Wisconsin into Puerto Rico, because
'' Puert o Ri ca ns can't vote for
Presiden t."
Ri chard Nixon , said Lucey, was so
moved by the chicanery that he praised
Carter for being " tough, subtle and
ruthless," and for .. using the presidency
10 the hilt. "
Who lert whom
Lucey, who has been fa ult ed for leaving
the Democrats, argued that it's Caner
who has forsaken the "part y of Franklin
Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and J ohn
Kennedy ." He did so, when he
•'deliberately planned a recession in a
futile effort to halt in nation ." No true
Democrat, said Lucey, would sacrifice
jobs to an economic game plan .
Where Caner is wrong, Lucey assessed, Reagan is merely irrelevant.
The majority of people feel neither
Carter nor Reagan should win, but
voters also think Anderson " does.n't
have a chance." And because they thmk
so, he really doesn't. Those large /

Th omas Buchanan

numbers who told pollsters they'd vote
for Anderson if they thought he had a
chance, have to stand up and be
counted, Lucey urged.
Opening the floor to questions, the
p ndidate fumbled inquiries on Anderson 's stands on food stamps for college

students, and Basic Educational Opportunity Grants.
He also couldn' t answer what had to
be the query or the day:

Task Force at work on Math Skills pr«ject
A special Task Force was established last
week by Natural Sciences and Math
Dean Duwayne Anderson to insure that
the Math Skills Pilot Program debuts
this spring with a minimum of snags.
The undergraduate directors in math,
computer science and statistics are on
the task force along with Sean Sullivan,

As part of the skills program passed
by the Senate, students who rail to "testout" of its computational component
can elect to take either a matb, computer

selected for the pilot program are Math

students a "fair shot at success."
Since most students in the program

To ensure that his program will be one

recitations. He realizes this means additional starr, and not solely individuals
hired on TA or GA lines.
Given his needs arnf considering the
likelihood of rurther institutional budget
cuts, the dean says he favors a "phasingin" process as tile "most practical approach" to Gen Ed implementation.

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

U/B singing
'0 Canada!'
If the University could sing, its song
these days would be " 0 Canada!" Not

since the "invention., of the Buffalo
Sabres in the late 1960s has there been
such a spurt of sustained CanadianAmerican interaction along the Niagara
Frontier.
Last week, as a show of Canadian
photography was being hung in the fifth
floor Capen Hall Gallery, fmal touches
were being put together on a festival of
Canadian Poetry which will convene
October 15-21. Dr. Pierre Aubery of
Modem Languages was caught-up in
details for a major conference on contemporary French civilization [which, of

with this University Center. Ketter went
to Laval University and the central oft"K:e of the University of Quebec in
Quebec City. ln Montreal, he met with

McGill University, Concordia University, and the University of Quebec in
Montreal. Finally, he toured a relatively

Ketter in the spring of 1980, outlining
the rationale and prospects for

neither satisfy their needs ror academic
interaction with American universities
nor exhaust the range or possibilities.
Spokespersons for each institution
agreed that most or these coe&gt;perative
relationships are limited, as is the
Canadian-American program which
SUNY operates through the State College at Plausburgb. The SUNY program
is limited only to uodergraduate student
exchange. Quebec institutions would
prefer an interaction with an American
university across the ent.irC breadth or

U/8 needs
new model,
VPAA says
By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
R.,ort&lt;r SNiff

In his first dialogue with the Faculty
Senate Executive Committer, Vice President for Academic Affairs Roben
Rossbers announced tbat d~, direc.
tors, and student and faculty represen.

tatives will gather ror a "retreat" October 10 to begin redefining tbe Univer.. sity ' s goals and priorities and
establishing a procedure through which
he can start planning U/B's academic
future.
The VPAA, looking comfortable as
he spoke before familiar races, said the
University must change its "dysfunctional" expectations and attitudes and
create a "model" which is "pos~i&amp;le and
realistic."
As Rossberg noted in an interview
earlier this semester with the Reporter,
the Berkeley model to which U/ 8
aspired in the "heady Camelot" era of
the 1960s was inappropriate and caused
an "expectations discrepancy" when visions couldn't be met.
On the other band, he quipped,
"We're not the 'Brockport of the West'
either."
The VPAA said what U/B needs is a
model "with some dqrer of idealism"
but one "still congruent" with its mission.
Attempting to outline why lbe University bas developed as it bas, the VP AA
characterized srowtb in the 60s and early
70s as "willy-pilly." Theo, when

questions: How is medical lrearment innuenced by the patient-doctor relation~

use to represent and imagine disease affect the actions of doctors and patients?
The tw()l.semester interdisciplinary
course is being team~taugllt by a group
of faculty each of whom has a longstanding interest in just such a venture.
Members of the group are: Murray
Schwartz, professor of English and dean
of the CoUeges, who is also associated
with the Center .for the Psychological
Study of the Arts, one of the prime
movers in putting the course together;
Steven Wear, Philosophy; Ronald E.

Initial course meetings are drawing on
William Carlos Wil.tiams ("The Use of
Force"), Franz Kafka ("The .Country
Doctor") and George Etiot (a selection
from Middkmtzrr:h), juxtaposed with
pieces on the history of the stethoscope
and different conceptions of masturba-

tion that have arisen over the past two
centuries. The theme is the interpersonal
dimension of medicine.
.. Out of such d iverse materials," the
course prospectus projects, will come a
variety of themes for further discussion .
A look at extreme disease conditions
will follow in a few weeks, spurred by
readings in Albert Camus' The Plague.
Thomas Mann 's Death In Venice. and
selections from Shakespeare as well as
historical accounts of epidemics and
responses 10 them .
The language of disease and its
ramifications w.ill be viewed in terms of
Michel Foucault 's The Birth of the
Clinic and Susan Sontag's Disease as
Metaphor.
Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, 'l"olstoy' s
The Death of Ivan 1/ych and actual case
material will provide the focus for a look
at how disease has been interpreted.
The major question posed by the farnung materials. the course plannen suggest, is how the psychological, social and
historical dimensions of medicine relate
to the scientific techniques and
knowledge of physical processes that
medical doctors must master in their
training. There wiU be eight sessions in
which to come to grips with the issu~.
At the end of the semeSter. each student has to submit an essay. The work
can be: a critical discussion or one or
more of the readings; a general reneelion or one or more or the issues raised;
or a c.rcative response-a poem. an experiment, or a ~tory.

Quite obviously, says Murray Schwartz,
this is .. ,.ot an attempt lo •humanize'
doctors. We assume tbaLmediciae...G a
human endeavor motivated by a desire

to under5rand and aUeviale human suffering. The course is intended to help
students gain access to ways or imagining their task through understanding or
historical and literary material."
Schwartz looks at the course as an experiment in education which is as vital
and exploratory for the teachers involved as it is for future doctors u;n a world
where the humanity of medicine will be
profoundly important for us all."

Book on Colleges has one. slight problem
WHY INNOVATION FAILS.
By Artluu Levine. State University of
New YOI'k Pras. 1U pp. $9.95 (paperIHJclc).

Lt is rare that -a major institution in one's
own backyard is perceptively analyzed.
Arthur Levine, a senior researcher for
the prestigious Carnegie Foundation,
has written a study of the rise and fall of
the innovative Colleges, a part of the
State University · of New York at Buffalo.
His book, which stems from a doctoral thesis done here, analyzes in detail
the growth of the University of Buffalo
during the 1960s and places the Colleges
within the context of the development of
U/B from a goa&lt;! local university to a
large nationally..oriented institution with
pretentions of greatness.
This volume combines a case study of
U/B with a broader consideration of the
process of innovation and change in
higher education. Both discussions are
interesting and Levine has ni
embeded his case study in a broader
framework.

and even library space. The idea was
taken from Oxford University's .
venerable collegiate system. The 1960s at
U/ B were a period of growth and of
dreams.
It also was a time when an immense
amount of money was available for

higher education, and particularly for
the most prestigious institution in ' the
growing SUNY System .
Anything seemed possible in what
many hoped would be the "Berkeley of
the East." But in pursuit of its goals.
U/ B created the classic revolutionary
situation: "promise a lot , deliver little. "
Student unrest, facult y confusion and
major connicts between "town and
gown" ensued.

Exagge... ted bopes
In this atmosphere of exaggerated
hopes, substantial confusion and con·
tinuing conflict, visionary young
academics tried to create the Colleges.
Out of the ferment of the 1960s came
colleges based on such themes as radical
social action, ecology, alternative educa·
tion, and women's studies. Some work·

The saga of the Colleges is typical of
American higher education in the 1960s.
Impelled by the promise of almost
unlimited funds and by the promise of
educational innovation, idealistic
students and facult y tried to quickly
build an alternative institution. Levine
argues that the failure to anchor the
alternative colleges deeply in the structure of a traditional University cost them
the support of the faculty in the long
run.
The political premtre that radical
students were able to apply during the
I 960s was no longer available in the
1970s, and the Colleges were reduced to
a small but still controversial appendage
in a traditional uriiversity.
When the money ran out, administrators and the faculty were willing to
sacrifice parts of the university that were
not directly tied in to traditional functions. While the Buffalo example is an
extreme one because U/ B grew so quickly and so much was expected of it during
the 1960s, the story was repeated at
many universities throughout the coun-

try during those years.
U/ B survived
There is one problem with Arthur
Levine's analysis. He argues that the
failure to institutionalize the Colleges
resulted in the failure of the effort and
the even tual termination of the experiment. Many on campus would argue
that while the Colleges did not develop
as the visionaries of the 1960s would
have liked , they have evolved into an active part of the academic landscape at
U/ B.
They do not dominate undergraduate
education, but they do provide a limited
number of still innovative programs.
The Women'sStudies College, for example, remains one of the largest and
most successful such programs in the
United States. It might be more correct
to say that the Colleges have evolved,
have become more conservative in some
)Vays, and have 'lost much !lf their
autonomy. But they have survived.
In much the same way, U/B did not
become the Berkeley of tbe East, and the
past few years have been 'quite difficult.
But it, too, survived an&lt;Lrernains a
university of considerable stature.

College A, whieh was the first college
to offer courses, became the most visible, and as a result appeared the prOtotype of the new innovation to most in
the university and local community ...
Fred Snell based College A on a
radically progressive _philosophy of
education. Its focus was the Jiber~tion of,
people in the local community and at the
university . . .
AU of this and orie additional ingredient were contained in a course CAx02,
entitled, "Conflict and Cbanae in the
Local Community." The additional inlfedieot was activism in and around
Buffalo. In January 1969the course was
approved by the UniYersitTCoJiele curriculum committee-" for die spriq and

summer of that year. Five hundred
students enrolled during the very first
term. The format was group and in' dividual independent study. Studentswere to ehoose what they wanted to
Jearn and grade themselves on how well
they did it.

HeldtaSneU hit a nerve. The activities at College A attacked the authority system, the
~er structure, the day-to-day operatiOns, and the basic rationale for
S.U.N.Y.A.B. and other universities.
l_'he funetion of the university has traditlonaUy been the creation, transmission
and application of· expert knowledge:
With regard to power, this meant that
the faculty senate or a body like it determined educational policy because it best
represented the col,lective wisdom of the
faculty. Similarly, a physics department
determiDed the physics curriculum
because of its eoJJective expertise in that

students were uirresponsive", "ir·

Students given the freedom Snell prOposed would simply goof off. Snell said
fewer than 10 percent were doing so, and
opponents at the university cited examples to the contrary. In September
1969 Dean [Claude] Welch tried to limit
enroUments to 2SO in CAx02. The
university forced College A to evaluate
the course twice in its ftrstthree months
of operation. For the second evaluation
College A students brought into his office what Claude Welch described as a

Astess-•t of Ladenblp
Levine offers thb ~JSSUS~Mnt of leadership at tlw University In /970:
Goals were offered by Martin Meyerson, the city of Buffalo, Aetiq P~i-

dent Regan, Robert Ketter, Warren Bennis, the executive committee, the state
legislature, the liberal faculty caucus,
the conservative faculty caucus, the college students, Fred Snell, the rioters, the
student strikers. Whieh set of norms,
values, and goals represented the university? Certainly not Meyerson's or Ketter's. Ketter was not yet president and
Meyerson was gone and, for many,
hopefuUy forgotten . In the city of Buffalo, Meyerson's name was an anathema
associated with rioting and acacjemic
chicanery. Both conservative and liberal
faculty at S.U.N.Y.A.B. fought valiantly to turn. him into a nonperson in the
.finest Soviet tradition of deStalinizalioo. For conservatives, who
were aWIIo see Meyenon-go, be had to
be dissociated from the university to prevent intervmtlon by the outside aroups

Why busy prnfesiiODals take time and
effort to teach wUh DO pay may puzzle
those whose motivation for workin&amp; is
solely monetary.
"Some of us clinicians feel we have a
lot to offer from our personal experience
- giving those in the process of learning
to be physicians the opportunity to sec
bow medicine is rcally practiced in the
private office, ~ospital, the clinic,"
says Dr. Eisenberg. A clinical faculty
member in eediatrics for 2S years, be
also feels volunteer clinicians expose
students to a wider variety of experiencd than would be available otherwise.
"We arc also 'learners'," · Eisenberg
says of the volunteers. A clinical faculty
appointment and involvement in the
School of Mql.icinc's teaching program
is ·a two-way street. Most participating
pilysicians can cite instuces where
they've learned from Sludalts and
residents, Dr. Ei1cDbcq reports. "Tbcrc
arc definite Mlvantaaa for me, as a
)&gt;raCticina pbysiciu.
"If I have a~ about one of my
patients, I too. lbere me r..:ulty at the
Scboo1 wbo can me in the riaht
direction. lf a cue prae111a illdf wbkh
is IUply an-' 111111 1 need more
specialiad inf~ often someone
on the faculty is doina raearch into tJic
problem."
. Continuina educatioD propams also
glVC Dr. Eisenbcq the opportunity tO
keep up. "Physicians who serve as
clinical \IOiunteen must keep their skills
and knowlcdae current; to ~cb
students and residents, we ounclves
must be on 'our toes! And because we
arc involved in teaching, we arc probably able to provide our patients better
care.
"Eyen though we're not paid, we arc
rewarded in other ways," Dr. Eisenberg
emphasizes.
Typically, Dr: Eisenberg teaches three
hospital rounds sessions week ly for one
month to six weeks each year. Durin&amp;
the one-to-two-hour sessions, students
learn from actual cases. In addition,
Eisenberg is a precejnor to resident
bouse offacers who may treat patients
with him in his Harlem Rd. office.

"Often students .need to learn what

Perhaps one of the local dentiSts most
experienced in management and care of
hemophiliac dental problems, be notes
that in the Clinic, students learn that
sometimes the "ideal" treatment is not
always in a patient's best interest. .

students learn to take medical histories

ln ~"dental school grads in the
one-year resiac:Dcy prosram at the
Caltcr arc supervised by the Clinic staff.
"Ycan aftcr1 have taught a student,
be or she wiD see me somewhere and
comment that a procedure I
demonstrated is still the way they're doing· it, " Dr. Viscardo says. Other
former students will call for advice when
faced with a patient with an unusual
medical problem.
"Just knowing I was able 10 contribute something to that dentist's
education somewhere along the way
makes it worthwhile," he says.
Physical tbcnpy clinics
U/ B alum Barbara Stevenson, who's
been on the clinical volunteer facuhy for
IS years, agrees that a " lor of learning
takes place in the clinics" such as the
one at ECMC where she's bead of
physical therapy.
" Students can learn and practice just
so long on fcliow students who arc
basically healthy. When they start dealing with patients who arc old, sick or in
pain, it becomes an entirdy different
sitUation, .. abe points out. .. Ideal" text·
book cases arc seldom replicated.
"EYeD patients with idmtiazl spinal
cord injuries may have different functional levels, attitudes and motivations
wblcb can be learned only by observation and supervised participation in
planning and implementing treatment,''
she says. Third and fourth year physical
therapy students come to cl!nics like the_•
one· at ECMC, and also rotate throuih
other types of health care settings for_a
well-rounded education.
Ms. Stevenson says her involvement in
the clinical teaching program is bound
up with her desire to advance her profession and 10 recruit good. students for
full-time employment at ECMC later.
Pbamulcy vot. .teers
Both Don Pritchard and his wife,
Wendy, arc members of the School of
Pharmacy's clinical volunteer faculty.
Mr. Pritchard's commitment to the
School bas a lengthy history. His father,
the late Mcarl D. Pritchard, graduated
!rom U/ B in 1922, was a membQr of the
Council for several years, and an active
supporter of the University. The late
pharmacist first owned a pharmacy on
North Street and later moved 10 SO High
Street, its current location. For his contributions to lhe Unhrersity, Pritchard
Hall at Main Street was named for him.
" My father was involved in pharmacy
as a profession me&gt;re so than as a

business," says the son. Viewing his own
clinicaJ volunteer service as an extension
of his father's commitment, Mr.
Pritchard says he feels a conti nuing
obligation 10 the5cbool.
" Gaining experience in a communitybased pharmacy is important for fifthyear studen ts because most of them will
eventually be practicing in this lype of
setting," says Mr. Pritchard.
"For instance, of the last seven
students who did externships with me,
only two bad ever before worked al or
been involved in a community pharmacy. If pharmacists slacb as myself did
not get involved, wll&amp;e would most of
these students get this kind of 1carning
c'xpericncc7"
Since Pritchard Pharmacy limits its
inventory to over-the-counter and
prcsaiptiDn drup and medicallbealth "
care supplies, students also have an opportunity to learn to counsel patients on )
the benefits and side effects of medications.
.
Besinning this year, Pharmacy requires fifth-year students to spend 675
hours in extcmships, double that ·
previously required. Half must be done
in a community pharmacy and half in a
hospital-based one. The volunteers have
become even more important.
''Dealing with real situations in a
pharmacy is an important aspect of
education and hopefully influences
students positivdy as to bow they will
practice their profession later," says Mr.
Pritchard.

••rsl•&amp;

At the
ceeter
Elfrieda Pankow, a clinical faculty
member in the Sclmol of Nursing for
four years, says she and her staff enjoy
••picking students' brains'' wben they' re
assigncil to the Counlj's Service and
Referral Center.
" We try to create a positive atmosphere so students f eel free to ask
questions and volunteer ideas and
material they've learned in class. We
don't always have time to review all lhe
c:unent articles ud journals on the

market today and the: students teach us,
too," she says.
Ms. Pa nkow enjoys reaching but
would nol choose to do il full -time.
She feels part of her motivation for
being a volunteer "'clinical'' is her desire
to influence health care in the future
through the students she teaches.
Usually, ten students come to the
Center two days a week for a ten-week
period. If they do a preceplorship, they
arc given more responsibility and workup and visit cases for an extended
period. "I thoroughly enjoy the
students. It's great to have the opportunity to have an 'audience' ud
hopefully influeuce some of them to 10
into public health," Ms. Pankow adds.
Dr. F. Carter PanniU, U/8 Health
Sciences vice prcsidcAt, says dinical
volunteers briDa "an added c1immsi0D
or experience to our students which cannot be duplic::aled in our full-time faculty.
•
"They provide r9le models and form
a union with the larser community
without which wc·could DO( conduct our
programs effectively." ·
They arc "an asset which could not be
acq¥-ired even witb unlimited

resources."

The Personnel Department tW announced that N. Y_ Stale has once spin
designated October as lbe heallb insurance transfer period. l&gt;uiing !his month,
approximately 3,700 SUNY/ Buffalo stale employees may change lbeir heallh
plan to any other available plan (Statewide, GHI, Health Care Plan, or Independent Health Association). AU transfers become effective 111181.
'
Mr. Joseph E. Lippert, employee benefits ~~U~Dager, emphasized thai the
decision to remain wilh one's present health plan or to transfer 10 anolber, is
entirely up lo the employee. Those satisfied wilb their presenl coverage need
take no action. Those wishing lo change musl submil an application (FOrm
PS--404) lo lbe Personnel Depanment not later than October 31, 1980.
Lippen said lhal this year's transfer period is particularly signifiCanl 10 all
state employees because il offers them an added choice - lbe newly fonned
lndependenl Health Association. He added, "our employees may now selec1
one of the two traditional heallb insurance companies or choose one of lbe two
Heallh Mainlenance Orpniz.ations." To assisl employees in making a decision

Libraries explore
possibility of joining
new research group

Intercampus path
for cyclists
nearing reality
Now thai the Town of Ambers! has
agreed to pay up 10 $1,~ a Y'7'r for i_ts
maintenance, construction wdl begin
this spring on an intercampus bikeway.
The Federal government is paying for
so per cenl of lhe $300,000 projecl with
the remaining moneY. coming from the
Stale.
.
According to George Kohlbacher, an
associate design engineer for the job, the
three-mile bikeway will begin at Main
and Bailey and travel generally north
over Crosby, Hendricks, Maynard,
Stevenson, Rosedale and Sweel Home.
Initially, il will terminate al Maple
Road. Nexl summer, however, officials
plan to lei a contract to reconnecl Sweet
Home Road underneath the Youngman.
Kohlbacher said the proposed Sweet
Home conneclor would have a bikeway
incorporated in it.
When the connector is buill, the: intercampus bikeway will continue on Sweel
Home lo Rensch Road.
A Class Ill bikeway route, which
basically involves only the posting of
signs that designate it as one-will run
for about a mile and one-half along
Crosby,- Hendricks, Maynard, Stevenson and Rosedal.e .
A Class II lane - which involves
Slreel striping for the bike lane and
widening and repairing of shoulder areas
- will run for approximately another
mile and one-half on Sweet Home.
A Class I facility, a separate bike path
10 the side of the road, is the most expensive and will be constructed only for
a short section around Crosby Circle,
Kohlbacher noted.
Though there was talk of narrowing
streels for the bikeway, Koblbacher indicated tbat this will not be done. Instead, )llbre money will be spent on
shouldi!r improvements.
An intercanipus bikeway was initially
proposed in 1973 when the Niagara
Frontier TranSit- Commission created a
subeommittee to investigate the feasibility of constructing one.
U/B Industrial Engineering Professor
Colin Drury, who served on the subcommittee, said Amherst was considered an
excellent location since it has flat lan11
goOd enough weather to make a bikeway
worthwhile, and is conducive to Lbe
kinds of short trips (one to five miles)
oflen favored by-bikers.
For those wl)'o have questioned why a
bikeway wasn't included in lhe recent
widening and repair of Millersport,
Kohlbacher claims it wasn'tthrough any
oversight or faux· pas on the part of the
Department of Transportation . ll
Professor Claude E-. Welch, a bicycle
wasn't built, he said, primarily because
il wasn't safe. Traffic volume, especiaJ!t .. erilhusiasl who -has peddled 10 campus

The University Libraries are exploring
lhe possibility of joining Research
Libraries Group, Inc. (RLG), a consortium of research libraries the objective
of which is to develop cooperative programs to improve library services.
Owned and -operated by ils members,
RLG offers programs which have been
described as critical to research institutions. particularly at a time when
numbers of necessary acq uisitions are
mounting as resources dwindle.
RLG 'S &lt; principal programs incl ude
shared access to collections: cooperative
collection management and developmen t; preservatio n of research
materials, and operation of an in formalion network called RLIN, a computerized bibliographic 1ool lhal feeds
the other programs.
Currently, the RLIN d~la base has 2.5
million entries, but RLG esti mates the
number will more than double in two
years.
Like mosl SUNY units, U/ B presently
belongs 10 OCLC, a rival group which
operates a computerized catalogue
system containing some six million entries. OCLC, howe\-er, does nol caler 10
special needs of research institutions,
though its new competition is forcing it
to find ways to beuer serve its research
contingent .
To date, RLG has about 20 members,
high ranking research institutions such
as Columbia, Yale, Stanford, University
of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Dartmouth,
Brown, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Tulane
and New York University, among
otbers.
Harvard, one of its founding
members, tCP.Ortedly dropped out, and
resumed mem~ip in OCLC ~~se
il fell itS collectiOn and aCQUISitiOn
budgets were being taken advantage of
by feUow members.
As far as Libraries Director Saklidas
Roy is concerned, u it's not a matter of if
U/B should join RLG but MIIN!n."
Roy explained Li!aL il mighl be beller
for U/ B 10 wait a while before joining
RLG since il has only its cooperative
cataloging system on line. Additional
capabilities are still being developed, he
noted.
A switch al this Lime, Roy said, would
mean new hardware and retraining of
cataloguing staff - and new hardware
means additional expenditures.
10 to IS per &lt;eat ""'"'
Roy estimates thai joining RLG would
cost belwein 15 to 2S per cent more per
year thalf'O CLC membership. Some of
the added expense would be due to
telephone communication between Stanford and Yale, which manage the operation, and inereased travd money _for
meetings. Unlike OCLC, RLG rcqutres
members to attend organization
meetings, Roy noted.
On the other hand, the Libraries
Director..pointed-OUt that up .to SlS,OOO
in grant money is now available on a
"first come, first serve basis" from
- foundations willing to belp research
.libraries defray the cost of switching tp
RLG. Also, RLG, seeking to increase its
data base, wants written commitments
as 5oon as possible from research
{ibraries which have been invited LO joi'!.
With these lett~ of intent, RLG also
will be able to cash in on available folll!dation support.

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

Fall enrollment
may set record:
27,000 or more
After several years of failing to meet
budgeted targets, U/B's enrollment for
Fall 1980 appears to be headed toward a
new record, University officials said early this week.
Unofficial preliminary figures for the
semester point to a tolll headrount
registration of 27,081, rompared to the
fmal headcount figure of 24,683 in the
fall of 1979.
The figures are tentati~ and are being
reported in terms of maybes because the
official "frozen file" on criroUment
(that is, the me as it stood at the close of
registration on September 19) has been
forwarded to Albany for examination,
as is the uswil SUNY custom. It will be
late this week or early next before
analyses based on ·the file can be made
by the Offtce of Institutional Studies.
Once that's done, Robert J . w..,...,
!leputy vice president, said;- official
detailed figures will be available - including student FTE numbers.
Preliminary figures are subject to revision after these analyses, but it appears
certain that the budget target headcount
figure of 24,966 has been topped by af
least 2,(0) or more. An "in-bouseu goal
of 25,465 has also been surpassed.
Within the overall figure, Admissions
and Records Director Richard Dremuk
said he is sure two individual areas have
their higbest registrations ever: the Divi-

.trelids. They note, too, that the healthy
increase in Millard Fillmore College
represents a turnaround in the fortunes
or a division which has been experiencing sianiflcant enroUment diffiCIIities in
recent yean.
The U/B records come at a time when
a decliile in numbers or college age individuals was expected to begin showiq
up in University enrollment totals. Some
observers suggest that the unexpected increase here and dsewbere is a function
of the recession. YOUIII people can't
fmd jobs so they go to school. Other
analysts attribute the increases to what
they call a numbers game in higher
education. "No one in the whole country is goiq to be guilty of not trying to
get as many students as they can in order
to survive,' ' Dr. Richard A. Siggelkow,
vice president for student affairs, told
the Briffa/o News Sunday.
In enrolling the largest freshman class
of any institution in New York State,
public or private, U/ B ac::cepted approximately 80 per cent of those individuals
who applied, according to a recent
Faculty Senate report. That figure caused concern among some faculty about
quality, a concern which A &amp; R Director
Dremuk feels is misplaced.

Ketters' farm
is quiet haven
lly LINDA GRACE-KOBAS

--SU&lt;ff

"I hope we run into the black bear,"
was one of LoUy Ketter's frrst comments
as lite recently grmed three visitors_to
her family's weekend retreat, a sizable,
larsely uncultivated farm outside
Nunda, N.Y.
Nervous glances were exchanged,
while the three tried to remember if they
had ever learned just how fast a bear can

run.

The Ketters spend most of their vacations and many weekends at the farm,
which they purchased almost 20 years
ago when Robert L. Ketter was still
chairman of the Department of Civil
Engineering. With the help of their four
cbildren, they do all the farmwork
themselves without hired help,
everything from cultivating smaU sarden
paldtes to raising and barvesuqg more
than 78 different types of apples to
ptbering many quarts of raspberries
and blueberries, which Mrs. Ketter
preserves.
Bob Ketter bas even gathered enough
material to begin a book about applesrowin&amp; and has identified more than
6,000 different kinds of apples. Because
of his many other commitments, he has
set that project aside.
"Someday I'D get back to it and finish
it," he promises himself.
Despite the skepticism of their
neishbors, who are mostly longtime
country people, the Ketters a few years
ago dug near their house two large
poads, fed by underaround springs that
weren't supposc:&lt;ho be-there. 'lbe ponds
.,... with Jarse and small mouth
bass and provide plentiful fishing.

Onr
aroudlllllludtowu
The route to the farm is mostly along
two-lane roads that wind over and
8rouDd biDs, ~¥,ough numerous tiny
unms whose few buildings are snuggled
apinst one main thoroughfare. The
Ketters usually stop at a store run by a
fvmer who sells his own maple syrup
IIDII cider. The man knows the Ketters by
lllllllt, and they often discuss the state of
, the year's crops and weather.
Allotber of their usual stops is at a
small diner where regulars have their
own coffee mugs waiting for them on a
..n shelf. In the parking lot, pickup
tructs, Slalion wqoos and other working YCbic:les are the norm.
The trees were already bqinning to
tum when the Ketters made their most
reccm visit to the farm; the sreen hiD
slopes were tinsed with oranse and
yellow. It's the kind o~ land that is
heaven in the Atrtumo.

A rocky dirt lane turns off the road
and leads into a dip in the land where the
Ketters' unpretentious yeUow farmhouse, sheltered by huge pines, stands.
The name of the farm is "Giengariff.''
which is Gaelic for "rocky aJen."
The farmhouse stands high on the side
of a hill, in the midst of real farm country where rows of com run for acres and
where the nearest neighbor is well out of
shouting r&amp;Qge.
"When people around here ask what
happened during the week, it's noteworthy to mention if a car went down
the road at night," ·Mrs. Ketter said.
The weather Is dlff&lt;ftllt
Because of the elevation, the weather at
the farm is different from Buffalo' s, its
changes even more drastic.
"We bad a killing frost in June this
year, " Mrs. Ketter remarked.
Bob Ketter likes to teD of the lightning
that roUed down the hiU once during a
thunderstorm, and bow thunder will surround the bill until uit's all around

you."

.

Herbs srow next to the back doorstep
of the farmhouse and a luscious homey
smell of herbs greets one as the door is
opened.
"This is my 19th-&lt;:entury kitchen,"
Mrs. Ketter announced, as she led the
way into a room that seemed like it bad
been frozen in time. A massive, working wood stove dominated the room; bunches of dried herbs bung from the ceiling, calico curtains framed the windows,
old-time kitchen utensils bung from
hooks. A loomed braid rug lay on the
noor, and several old crocks lined the
walls .
This room leads into Mrs. Ketter' s
"1930s kitchen," an obviously livedand-worked-in room with linoleum
counters and painted wood cupboards.
Empty jars and bottles were stacked in
several places, waiting for her next canning session.

their waists: Turning back, they could
see Bob Ketter checking his blueberry
bushes.
"Where do you usually see the bear'/"
Mrs. Ketter was asked. She laughed and
added that a lot of wildlife inhabited the
area, "everything from mink to porcupines.' '
After a good hike upward, the party
of four left the field and entered woods,
where the sround was springy with pine
needle$. Through the ages, water cut
deep ditches into the biD; these
'Siialda&amp; water'

They took a different route down,
aloils a dirt path that led to a paved
road. The city folks stopped at the edge
of the road and looked both ways, while
Mrs. Ketter stood in the middle and
laughed. "We don't get much traffic up

bere."

Back at the house Bob Ketter was digging up potatoes. Mrs. Ketter picked
lunch out of a small garden: cabbage,
carrot, onion, parsley. She quickly
whipped together delicious cole slaw and
Spanish rice with fresh peppers arid
tomatoes.

Ai lunch, the non-encounter with the
black bear was discussed. The bear is a
frequent visitor to the Ketters' farm, and
Mrs. Ketter really wanted her auests to
see him. She planned another bike for

"But what would you do if you saw

"My favorite thiDas are things to do

Mrs. Ketter is a settler. She knows the

Leoaid Dich 8Jezhncv, hero of the

If be could limply brinf in those who

you · with Sir Harold Wilson, former
prime minister of Great Britian; Gilda
Redner, former prima banana or Saturday Nishi Uve; and Leonard Nimoy,
former tint offiCer of the Starship
Enterprise.
Sir Harold, alas, is confmed to an

says Hitesh; IUICI neaotiations are proceeding with writer-critic Jeff Greenfldd
(whom be's tryina to wheedle down
from a $2500 asking price).
KoeniJ, a UIB product, was sianed
with the undcntandina that he was due
for national CltJI05Ure on a new Sally

reports are, was so t.d that CBS ele!:ted

Abbie Hoffman could be, had for a

On that basis, the cost would be about

Concerning the principals in this fall's

Carter and Mondale are just too busy.
Lacking a political debate, Hitesb
tried arranaing an ERA shoot-out bet111ten Germaine Greer and Phyllis
Schlafly. Surprisinaly, the women often
appear as a pair at a rate somewhat
below their usual combined fees . Greer
is coming here as a Fenton Uc:turer

Former student files-c«fmplaint vs. SUNY;
-Governor's office plans faculty audit
A former sraduate student iii _U/B's
Faculty of Educational Studies has ftled
a formal complaint with the Office, of
Civil Rights in Washinaton, chargina
that SUNY is discriminatina qainst
women in hirina practices and student
recruitment in tht "more lucrative"
University areas of medicine, dentistrY,
enaineerin8 and manqement.
The basis for the complaint was data
reportedly unearthed during a study
conducted by the student while working
toward her master's degree. Other units
besides U/8 were named in the complaint.
That was the first bit of bad news
President Ketter relayed to the.Faculty
Senate ~ec:utive Committee last week.
The second, was that the Governor's offtce recenUy asked the State Comptroller

Meanwhile, the four schools at U/B
cited in the complaint have been asked
to gather information on the credentials
of all those who have applied for faculty
positions over the last three years. The
Civil Riah!S Office also wants a
breakdown in these areas on incoming,
transfer, farst-year graduate and professional students, Ketter relayed.
Ketter said the Affirmative Action Office here bas already contacted each of
the four schools to fmd if it could
retrieve such information and how long
it would tate to do so.
Search procedure reports fail to give
the requested information since they are

CASA is "not indicative of the true

to consider such variables as research
and commiuee and community work.
Though Ketter isn't sure U/B will be
picked for the audit, he is certain that at
least one University center and one four- •
year college will be selected.
To help counter false impressions
generated by CASA data, Ketter said the
Office of Institutional Studies is now

year), Solkoff said be bas been 11ettina
"not so subtle a messqe" from administrators, deans aod colleques who
complain that tbe current GE requirements "are impossible to implement or would cause considerable chaos
or dislocation on campus."
A few Senators, including Dennis
Malone of Engineering aod Micbad
Metzaer of Languages, expressed hope
that the concept of the program - long
debated in the Senate - would not be
tarnished by further cfialoJUe, and that
only necessary modifications would be
made.
Metzaer said be is "worried" that the
Implementation Report soon to be aired
in the Senate concerns itself only with
the "demaoi' side" of the program but
does not aenerate data from tbe departments in terms of what can actually be
s upplied by them.
President Ketter then took the opportunity to underscore what be bad told
Senators at their last monthly meetina:
the Senate must begin to include "those
who control resources" in their delibera·
lions, or the program is doomed to
failure.

w!.eu:otc~~tinma:~:~
deliberations and debate. He strongly
suggested that the Task Force on Implementation consuh with cleans aod
VPs and get support commitments from
them. As it is, after lbe Task Force
makes its report, lbe President JUCSied
tbe Senate will have to decide what part
of lbe program can be feuibly implemented and on what timetable.

Arua-ua.....U
Given lbe "marvelous, exdtiJII" lhin8S
envisiooed by the GE Committee aod,
lbe fact that they may only be able "to
do ~uarter of it," Solkoff quipPed:
"If this is true, the Senate bas enppd
in intel1ectua1 masturbation for a JWt
aod a half with tbe GeDeral Ed Commit- ·
tee."
LauJbinl, but mostly lerious (as~
otben in lbe room at this point), lbe
Praldent raponded tbat "JOU can
lll8ltUrbMe to your beart'a content"
about what lbe Unl\lcnity should do,
but unlea lbere'l baddna (finaocial aod
otbenrise) It won't happen.

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

'Ellicotteers'
love it there
When word flashed across the campus
early last TuCSjlay that another student
bad tumbled through or out of a window
at Ellicott, a gasped "not again!" was
almost universally the shocked initial
reaction.
Providentially, the young man who
fell onto a grassy area two stones below
his room lived to tell TV cameras that he
didn't know what happened.
Speculation is he may have had too
much to drink and had ducked his head
out the window to throw up when waves
of nausea ovenook him in his sleep. The
bed had been built up to window level
and the screens removed as is the custom
in many of the rooms at EUicott. It's the )
next besl thing to sleeping outdoors. Unfortunately, it's dangerous.
James R. Gallagher underwent
surgery for a ruptured bladder the day
after his fall and is dropping out of
school for the rest of the semester. He is
the founb individual to have fallen from
one of the Ellicott towers. Michael A.
McClendon and Marcy B. Ford died in a
tragic plunge through an 8th floor
hallway window last February (who
coul~er forget the raw horror of that
news). A founb man reponedly suffered
broken bones ·a few years ago when he
feU from a window ledge on which he
was perched ,during a conversation.
Another version of this incident-which
was not widely reponed at the time it occurred-is that the individual, having
also bad too much to drink, was crawling Spide?"an-like from window to win-

dow on the outside of the building when
he fell . ·
The University has had high rise dormitories (admittedly with less spacious
windows) for over two decades, but the
only known falls have come at Ellicott.
Most of the repons on residence hall
vandalism seem to have to do with
Ellicott. And there was a fatal stabbing
there.

Why Ellicott?
Why Ellicott? Is it bad Karma? Is th e
complex unsafe? Is there something in
the social situation which leads to
frustration, anger, excessive drinking,
and consequent .. incidents"? Is it its
sheer size, larger than man y small liberal
ans colleges?
These are questions for experts, obviously-for architects, environmental
safety experts, sociologists, planners,
student personnel authorities, study
commissions. And all of tb.ese are looking into various aspects of life in the
sprawling complex-along with the campus' Alcohol Review Board which is
reponedly investigating " problems" of
excessive drinking at Wilkeson Pub.
Yet, the real expens on Ellicott are the
students who live there. The Reporter
decided to ask a handful of them: is
there something wrong with Ellicott? A
fatal flaw?

U/BF will build 'Center fdr Tomorrow'
The University at Buffalo Foundation,
Inc., today announced plans for the construction of a $1,000,000 multi-purpose
center to be located at the Amherst
Campus.
·
Named the "Center for Tomorrow,"
the facility will be used exclusively for
continuing education and conference
programs sponsored by the University.
Located near the Flint Entrance, the
Center wiU be available to local industry, government, business and the
professions seeking to make use of
University resources in their own programs.

Sevea confereace and meeting
combiullo•
Features include a major conference
area designed to accommodate up to 350
people, and capable of being convened
to two smaller conference rooms.
The 14,IJOO'square foot facility will
also include five separate meeting rooms
accommodating 35 to 40 people each, a
reception and display area, a food
preparation and serving facility and adjacent parking for 350 cars.
A 7,500-square foot structured counyard will complement the Center's food
service and entenainment capability, accommodating up to SOO people.
In addition, the Center will be the permanent beadquaners of the U/B Alumni Association and the U/B Foundation,

Inc., now at 250 Winspear.
John M. Carter, president of the
Foundation, in announcing the Center,
said ''The University, as ·a national
educational and research institution, has
long needed a center to bring togethet
the vast resources ofU/B so they may be

utilized for the benefit of Western New
York. We hope the Center for Tomorrow becomes the focal point for progress, now and tomorrow.''
Construction of the facility will be
financed entirely by contributions from
area individuals, corporations, founda·

tions and financial institutions. Carter
explained that more than 90 per cent o f
the needed capital has been pledged. He
is confident the balance will be raised
prior to completion of Jhe Center next
spring.

Grad education, research
will be the subject of
1982 accreditation review
"Graduate Study and Research at
SUNY / Buffalo" is being proposed as
the focus of a University self-study to be
developed in advance of a 1982 ac·
creditation review.
Heading development of the study
and serving as coordinator of the 1982
review by the Commission on Higher
Education of the Middle States Associa·
Lion of Colleges and Schools is veteran
faculty member Dr. Gordon M . Harris,
Larkin Professor of chemistry.
The late Dr. Claude E. Puffer served a
similar role in preparation for the 1972
accreditation review. Universities are ac·
credited at 10-year intervals by the Middle States Association .
In the past, Dr . Harris explained in an
interview th is wee k, acc red ita tion
reviews consisted o f surveys of all the
operati ons on a camp us. ln 197 2.
however, the Middle States Association
adopted new forms of self-study, all owing ' 'well-established instituti ons t.o
foc us on one or more special topics, the
idea being, Harris said, ' ' tllat the institu tion would profit more from such a
foc used approach." Visiting accreditors
will still he able to make judgments
about overall operations, as determined
through this more precise frame of
reference, Harris suggested.
Moetlaa oa September 29
· The,roposed U/ B topic will he up for
approval during a meeting here with Dr.
Robert Kirkwood , the executive director
of the Middle States' Commission on
Higher Education, September 29 .
Representing U/ B along with Harris will
be what he describes as "the group on
campus that will initially he most involved in the self-study: the president, vice
presidents, deans and members of a still·
to-he-selected steering committee of
" not more than a dozen people." The
latter group, Harris said, will incJ ude
r.-,fesentatives at faculty and professional staff levels of the various University constituericie:s.
The focus on "Graduate Education
and R~h , " Harris indicated, "will
clearly get us into many aspects of
graduate student activities," including
such topics as: enrollment trends,
recruitment and admissions policies, and
graduate student support policies . On
the research front, the study will look at:
"planned research activities, external
research relationships, the problems of
attracting sponsored research fu nding,
facilities for research. etc.,.
Included within the scope of the self·
study will he all the academic-research
areas offering degrees for which the
Graduate School is responsible (in·
9luding Roswell Park). The Libraries
and computing facilities, both i~tegral
parts of graduate education and
research, will he emphasized also. Professional degree programs [which are
subject to separate accreditations] will
not be a principal part of the project, ex·
cept for the Sc)10ol of Arcbitectilre.
Selection of "graduate study" as the
accreditation tOpic is meant as no affront to undergraduate concerns, Harris
said. The University has recently been
going though a comprehensive look at
undergraduate offerings in terms of
general education and has already arrived at certain conclusions involving
drastic changes, he noted. That study is
in its final stages;so a new examination
of undergraduate education wouldn' t
. "serve University purposes as well."

It's al'llllutt study that dlstlagulsbts as
Moreover, Harris emphasized, it is
U/ B's mission as agrQC/uatecenterwhi~h
both distinguishes it [and the other
SUNY university centers] from the fouF·
year college flock and mandates certain
necessary differences in operational
funding formulas which State budget officials often downplay or overlook completely. " We must maintain a focus on
graduate education in order to fulfill our
principal function' ' in the SUNY
system, he continued. That graduate
thrust, he said·, is the " only thing that

will enable us to he classed with the Big
10" and similar major uni versities.
As important as this is, though,
"there has never been an overall study"
of graduate and research activities here,
Harris said- "' only depanment-bydepartment reviews conducted by the
State Education Department .''
We' ve never asked , for example, are
we as an institut ion ''doing all we should
in order to be able to call ourselves a
major graduate center?' '
Implicit in the questi oning, Ha rri s
noted, will be a more fundament al
questi on o f wheth er th e State of New
York is doi ng what it should to nurture
publ ic cen ters .of graduate education on
a pa r wi th th ose in California a nd the
midwestern states- "'thc places we ha ve
to co mpete agai nst fo r fac ult y" and th e
best grad uate stude nts.
It has no t esca ped a tt enti on, Harris
ackn owledged , that result s of an assess·
ment of graduate· researc h opera tions by
knowledgeable outsiders co uld be used
as a basis for calling Sta te atten tio n to

public graduate center s hould be
funded :
Some 20-30 individuals representing
all the graduate disciplines involved will
make up the accrediting team, Harris
said. But they won't he named and
won't come here for on-site inspections
until almost two years' worth of groundwork has been completed. FuU-tlmt for a year
Beginning next semester, Harris (who
has served on six Middle States
accreditation teams himself, the most
recent being Rutgers-Newark in 1978)
will devote full-time to the project for a
calendar year. He will he working out of
an office in Capen Hall during that
period, and proposes to make himself
available to anyone who may want to
·
di scuss aspects of the self-study.
By the spring of 1982, he projects,
"we should be putting the finishing
touches" on a basic document which he
plans to keep to less than 200 pages. This
should be transmiued to members of the
visiting team a good two or three months
prior to their scheduled on-site deliberations in October, 1982.
Development of the self-study, Harris
said, will require a great deal of cooperation from all sectors of the campus
whose missions encompass aspects of
the proposed topic. He and the steering
committee will he calling on many to
assist, he pointed out, uand look forward to cooperation."
The visiti ng accreditors, having
digested the self-study, will he in Buffalo
for three days, talking to individuals of
their choosing and offering preliminary
observations to their chairperson. That
chairperson will then draft a report for
committee approval, to he forwarded to
the Middle States Association for
.sharing with the University.
Not aa lavtsli&amp;adoa·
An accreditation visit is not an investigation, the chairman of the team which
visited U/ B in 1972 emphasized to the
Reporter at that time.
Rather, it is an evaluation by peers of
a university's assessment of how well it
is meeting its stated objectives, .with the
option, of course, for both suggestions
for improvement and the spelling out of
conclusions .
The system has shortcomings of its
own, Dr. R. Lee Hombake, then VP for
academic affairs at the University of
Maryland, said. " But no one bas yet
come up with t. a better way of doing
k.''

SUNY to White House bid
Public higher education in New York
State has been mortgaged to Hu gh
Carey's 1984 Presidential ambitioOs,
new Graduate Student Association
President Howard Bennett, a Ph.D.
candidate in English, saYs with some
vehemence as he airs his perceptions o f
the state of graduate education at U/ B
today.
Carey, suggests Bennett heatedly, is
J.rying to pave his way to the White
House with budget cuts, something
"we' ll he paying the price for wi th a
disastrous situation in SUNY, "
regardless of what befalls the governor.
Albany' s attitude of de-emphasizing
public education in favor of private
colleges a nd universities has zapped
faculty morale here, in Bennett's view.
Many good faculty and the University as
a wh9le have been unable to reali ze their
po ~ tial. The malaise filters down to
graduate students. "It' s a pity," he
muses, recalling the "glory days" just
ending when he arrived here.
Bennett , from Birmingham, England,
began his U/ B graduate education in
1973, at which time he received a
teaching assistantship worth $3000 a
year. Seven years later [he took time off
to work in filmmaking with the Catholic
Diocese], he's on an assistantship which
pays S3SOO a year. That says something,
Bennen suggests. Other schools can
offer much better stipends.
True, the maximum stipend level has
been upped somewhat in recent years, to
a top of $5500, but Bennett detects "a
sort of reverse discrimination" at play.
Older students (too far along to chuck it
and go elsewhere) are awarded near
minimums, he observes, while new
students are lured to come here with the
maximums.
'Spttd-up'
Bennett, who teaches a freshman
composition class in English and two
conrses on his own in Tolstoy College,
notes, too, that graduate students are
being called on to bear the brunt of
instruction for the significantly higher
fall enrollment. In labor relations
parlance, they're caught in a "speed-up
situation," doing more work for the
same money. The size of most T A
sections in English has increased
markedly, says Bennett, and one TA in
economics he knows of has ISO
students!

A veteran of the old Graduate Student
Employees Union (GESU) [an attempt
to organize U/ B TAs and GAs that fizzl.
ed a few years back] . Bennett himself
has been ··uninvolved " recently. Last
spring, though , when a group of his
fellow· students asked if he'd consider
taking over the GSA leadership, he
agreed. [GSA leaders are elected by the
organization's Senate, not by grad
st udents at large.]
At this time, he feel s, .. it's imponant
that GSA be strong." It's also time for
the association to function less as a
banker for activit y fee d isbursements
and more as an advocacy group for grad
students. GSA has a role to play in
lobbying for increased stipends and
improved graduate working conditions.
he emphasizes.
Statements like that seem at once to
imply criticism of GSA's recent past and
to threaten confrontation. Wrong on
both counts, Bennett assures.

Coopentioa aol coafroatalioa
He has nothing but praise fo r Joyce
Pion's two-year tenure at the helm of
GSA. "Behind the scenes. Joyce was
doing a hell of a lot of lobbying and
work.'' And recently-named Grad
School Dean Donald Rennie , in
Bennett's view, is both .. approachable
and sympathetic" to grad students'
needs. Cooperation, not confrontation,
is the watchword here.
Bennett wants GSA to work closely
with the new dean on graduate student
recruitment and in setting up Grad
School-wide events in order to broaden
the insular departmental emphasis that
has been the norm. A Graduate Studeni
Picnic the first weekend of the semester
was one such activity. A planned Halloween party is a second.
Oa tbt qtada
Among other specific items on the GSA
agenda for the year, Bennett lists:
• Investigation of the possibility of
establishing a State-wide organiz.arion ro
address grad ..student i.sswes across
SUNY. A State-wide organization,
possibly a union. could possibly become
a powerful lobby such ~s UUP proved to
he this past spring, Bennett believes.
• Working with the evening students
organization· and the Student Bar
Association toward establishment of a
Day Care facility for all students,

Dean sour on
Reporter headline

Editor:
Not often, but now and again, quite
without warning, my body will release
an optimistic hormone that muffles the
howtina demons who tempt me to
despair. So it happened, when, on
reading your . front-page· 9111 / 80
headline ("CAMPUS SOURING ON
GEN ED PLAN?"), that instead of giving my knuckles a hard Italian bite, I
heeded quieter promptings. Surely, J
reasoned, there is sqmething positive
lurking beneath this forbidding notice.
Perhaps it means that, as with fine
Tennessee: whiskey, so with General

Education, the most highly prized and
longest savored distillate requires a little
souring. But the text of the anicle would
not support so charitable an interpretation, even less when compared with the
printed version of the President's
remarks, and with vanous sanguine
repons from witnesses at lhe Senate
meeting. The demons are back at my
ear.
Some will be mlsblformed
Your headline and article wiiJ not misinform the Senate, or the General Education Committee, or the Task Force on
Implementation, or those people w~o
have foiJowed with genuine interest and
concern the perils of General Education
on this campus.
But what about all those faculty and
studen.ts who will know no more about it
than what they read in the Reporter,
where, but for an occasional lapse such

.

as here, they have grown accustomed to
expect the highest standards of accuracy
in reporting campus news? ~ey w1ll not
be in a position to complam that you
have disproponionately favored the
President's misgivings about unspecified
complaints by critics of the Gen. Ed.
program over his long-standing and
unambiguous support for the concept,
and his concern that it be implemented
in a feasible format.
Opponenti aren't 'tbe campus'
I know of a few opponents of the
General Education plan approved by the
Senate. There may be others of whom I
am ignorant. In nCither case are the
complaints specific, public, or
accompanied by alternative proposals.
We must take the criticism of these as of
any group seriously, but to equate these
groups with the "Campus" is simply
misleading.
There is much that is problematical
about the General Educaton proposal as
it stands. The Task Force on Implementation will shortly issue a report on its
feasibility . Until then, I would urge you
to
maintain
your

Many readers, 1 fear, were misled by

headlined "Campus Souring on Gen.
Ed. Plan?" and accompanied by a
photograph of a stern-looking P~esident
Keller.
Contrary to the impression given by
the article, the President's recent

be did not sugest that those complaints

The President was simply giving a
realistic assessment of the difficulties we
face in implementing the program.
Recognition of such difficulties does not
entail any lessening of commitment.
Inevitably, major changes in an institution of this size present frustrating
problems. However, I believe that both
the President and an overwhelming rnajority of faculty and students· remain
determined to fmd ways to solv~ any
problems that may anse. The will to

Plan needs rethinking, says Banks
Ytor:
May I make a comment or two on our
pro~ General Education Program?
As I have looked over the new proposed
prQinllll and the composition of the
commiuee recommending· it I have had
the impression that such an illustrious
panel somehow makes such forthright
&lt;Tilicism u:1likely. Certainly our cursory
senate debate, in light of the gravity of
the issues addrissed, suggests that my
reluctance was ... to some extent shared.
Fin!, I would recommend that We
a~&gt;ndon the notiod of themes. It seems
to me unwise to base a new program of
such great imponance on a notion that is
Clear to some, unclear to others and certainly not a shared concept of our faculty or even implied in our educational ex·
pcriences, diverse as these no doubt are.
We should try to find common ground
rather ihan cwp-te a new center and drive
others away ([Om it.
Second, we should avoid creating new
structures whenever possible. The concept of knowledge area appears closer to
my view of what a common ground position would be, but what are these if not
similar to traditional divisions already
present within the University? Is a com-

miuee whose memben consist of one or
two loosely related professionals in the
social sciences and humanities capable
of debating and coming to any sensible
conclusions · about a course on the
cultural features of Asian societies? Can
such a commiuee honestly pretend that
they draw upon some fund of insights
concerning courses as courses that
would preempt such qualifications? It
seems to me that within our own
faculties we know what academic
freedom and quality, are and what
abridgements of these constitute. How is
one to address these issues with a committee so far away whose members appear only vaguely responsible to the
highest administrative levels?
I think that a valid program in general
education can come forward that
preserves the ideals that all of us seem to
share without sacrificina undue amounts
of scarce resOurces or sacrificing the
freedom that we formerly had in our
undergraduate teaching. The proposals ·
before us need serious rethinking.

WHEN DREAMS AND HEROES DIED: A
PORI.flA/T OF TOOA Y'S COLLEGE
STUDENT
By Arthur Levine. JOSSt"y- Bas.s. l SI pp. no price
listed .

With the beginning of the school year,
our thoughts turn to the college campus.
But the campus of the I 980s is far different from the volatile 60s. These two
informative books help to explain the
contemporary lack of activism and also
highlight the massive student
movements of the 1960s, which now
seem so far away.
Todd Gillin, himself an alumnus of
the SDS and now a sociologist at the
University of California, has focused on
the way that the mass media dealt with
the New Left of the 1960s. His argument
is that the media (particularly CBS and
the New York Times) did not provide
" objective" coverage of the New Left
and that the nature of the media attention helped to shape the movement as
well as public perception of it.
Anhur Levine, who holds his doctorate from U/ B, brings the story up to
date b¥ describing and analyzing the
contempory campus scene. Carefully
picking apart the " me-generation,"
Levine provides much food for thought.
If these books teach us anything, it is
that a complex societal movement like
the student protests of the I 960s must be
seen in a multifaceted way and that
social and political currents, on campus
and off, change rapidly. They also teach
us that there are often differences behyeen perception and reality, and that
our perception is often distorted by
many things, including the .very instruments of enlightenment we count on
for information - television news and
newspapers.
When Dreams and Heoes DiM is a
careful discussion of the contemporary
student generation. Levine contrasts the
attitudes and goals of today's students
with Close of the aeneralioo of the
19611(' and the results are sometimes
startJioa. Some of the media ateRIOiypes
are conft.rmed. Students are more concerned with private affain and with
careers than with the problems of
society. They have less trust in social institutions. Tbey are more interested in
individual gratif~c:af;ion than with social
cawes. There has been a rue in religious
participation on catnP\15, particularly
the "new" religious sects such as the
Moonies and the "born again" Christians. And the contemporary generation
is somewhat more conservative than its
forebears in the 1960s. Campus political
activism has declined, .and it has also
changed its shape. Gone, in general, are
disruptive demonstrations. Instead, activists are more concerned with ecological issues, and with gaining ·some
influence over the affairs of university
systems that affect them directly.

significantly to the left of the population
in general. While suppon for far-left
(and far-right) ideologies has declined,
the large majority of the student community remains solidly liberal. Funher,
student attitudes on life-style issues (sup.
port for marijuana use and the like) has
remained markedly permissive. There
has been little conservative push in this
area.
Perhaps the major lasting contributions of the student protests of the 1960s
are in the areas of culture and social
norms. Avant·garde popular music
seems here to stay, and the women's
liberation movement, amona others, has
profoundly affected student attitudes.
Politics has not disappeared from the
campus - but it has changed direction,
lost its militancy, and affects a much
smaller proportion of the student
population. Instead of the radical SDS,
ecological and consumer organizations
have become imponant. Students have
hired lobbyists and lawyers to look after
the i r interests in . Albany and
Washington. Levine devotes some interesting discussion to the pace-setting
SASU (Student Association of the State
University of New York), one of the
most effective of the new student lobbies . While attitudes have not
dramatically changed, activism has. The
generally quiet campus is sliU the home
of some political consciousness.
Tbe way it was
Todd Gitlin is not concerned with
describing what is, but rather with explaining why the New Left of the I 960s
developed as it did. Gitlin does not Ig·
nore the internal development of the
movement, nor the crucial impact of the
escalating war in Vietnam and a growing
consciousness of racial inequality in the
United States. He recognizes the growing political consciousness on campus.
But his concern is with the mass media,
and with the interaction between the
media and the New Left activist.. Gitlin

carefully tlelcriba how stories were

distorted imqe wu presc11ted to the
public. One of the most interesting parts
of the book is bow the media and the
student leadership interacted, and how
the media insisted on "creating" leaders
- even when they did not exist.
.
The American student community,
now 12,000,000 strona, represents an
important element in society. These two
books help to explain the realities and
perceptions of coUege students at two
very different periods. The activist
generation of the turbulent 60s stands 1n
sharp contrast to the much calmer atmosphere of the 1970s. It is, in historical
context, true that the Seventies are more
typical than the Sixties. It is also cl~

Teaching was natural
choice for Prof. Ludwig;
she was 'bossy,' she says
Editor's Nou: This is the first of five interviews with the 1978-79 recipients of
the.£hancellor's Award for Excellence
in Teaching. U/ B nominees are screened

nominations (from throughout SUNY)

By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI
Rtportn' Stll[f

Teaching was a "natural" choice of
vocations for Jeannette Ludwig .
Natural, because she hails from two
generations of educators, and being the
oldest of five children, she was accustomed to "assuming power, being
bossy and teUing people what_ they
wanted to know."
The youngest of five ChanceUors'
Awards recipients interviewed by the
Reporter, Ludwig speaks with refreshing
candor accompanied by a drizzle of wry
humor. The humor. however, fails to
camouflage her intense feeling about
education, as it affects her life and that
of her students.
From Ludwig's perspective, her role
as an educator, particularly as a
language teacher, is to °CXpand the
universe" of her students, especially
those tender minds who, she reveals.
don' t seem to know "doodlie squat" in
introductory courses except , ' ' Voulezvous coucher avec moi?,.
Perhaps that's the reason she's so
fond of SUNY 's old motto, "Let each
become all he is capable of being." ludwig ho pes th at so mehow she is
facilitating this process.
" In essence, what I'd like to say to my
students is 'Yo u are capable of seeing
the world in anothe r way, and this is the
way you can do it.' "
But getting the message across is n't
always easy . Of all courses taught at the
University, Ludwig thinks tanguages can
be the " most threatening. " When
students are .._stripped," of their mode
of ~xpression, she explains, they often
feel their reality is under heavy attack.
Tbe audience is apt to tune-&lt;&gt;ut
Quality teaching, in this applied
linguist's opinion, involves two fundamentals: being audience-sensitive and
"committed to the discipline."
By audience-sensitive, Ludwig means
paying attention to particulars, such as
voice modulation and clarity, which can
help register communicated information. The problem, she laments, is that
many faculty are oblivious to aspects of
t)leir delivery. Consequently, their audience tunes out.
"Why should people have to put up
with that on a day-to-day ciicumstance?" Ludwig asks rhetorically. "I fit
was television, you'd tum it off."
If being audience-sensitive is important to educators in general, it is critical
to language teachers in particular, Ludwig assens. The very frequency and in(imate size of the classes spur more twoway communication and also make it
that much more difficult for students to
"get lost in the crowd."
As far as her style of teaching is concerned, Ludwig, a midwestern export,
admits that at times, she may appear
· ~gOOfy . " That is, she has no compunction abour trying to enliven a class by
teUing a joke that may bomb ("Students
bomb· all the tune, )Vhy can't I?" ) or
wearing green overalls on St. Patrick's
Day. As serious a business as education
is, DUdwig thinks it's necessary for a
good teacher to know how to step back
and " laugh at one's foibles ."
Ludwig ' s style also reflect s a

characteristic directness and enthusiasm,
which, she says. filter their way into srudent evaluations of h~r. _
That directness enables classes to
know up-front that she expects them to:
Produce "good, solid work ," think
critically about issues that affect their
present and future, "j ustify" their comments, and last, but not least, refrain
from " boring" her with indifference.
Because of the academic trials and
tribulations her younger siblings faced ,
Ludwig says she can "relate to the struggling student." But she has little patience with those who ••just don 't try."
In fact, she contends, she'd rather teach
a C student who shows "ini tiative" and
"some ·life" than an A student who
merely occupies space.
While Ludwig wants students to gro\i
intellectually and gain deeper insights
abou t themselves and the world around
them, she's not about to do it by "stepping on their se lf- image " or
''streamrolling a class into behavior patterns that fit an ideal." It's j ust not her
modus operandi.
"I care about students as individuals,
both in the abstract and the specific."
It's a life-saver
She must. Even in the face of " wretched

March weather, when the car won't
start, retrenchment is threatening" and
she or her students (or both) are
" testy, tt it;.s st ill a .. 'life-saver" for her
to "go into the classroom."
" It 's an oppo rtunity to interact and
do what I do best. It 's also a way of exerting a bit of control over m y existence
in a human way."
Of the three primary responsibilities
of faculty (teaching, research and committee and communit y workJ, Ludwig
thinks her forte is teaching. She is ''most
emOLionally au ached to it.'· ·
Although she believes that scholarship·

other," at least in terms of lecture content , she doesn't agree the.two necessarily go hand-in-hand . "Unless you study
teaching styles, observe other people, let
them observe you and permit criticism,

Given all the pressures and aggravation

maintains that if she had to do it over
again, she would still choose teachi ng.
The reason is that her sat isfaction comes
not so much from externaJ rewards (the

U/B-Roswell scientist looking at
why some ge~ cancer and some don't
Why does one person develop cancer
while other people - in the same
environment and under the same conditions - do not?
The answer to that could possibly save
thousands of lives each year in the
United States.
It is estimated that roughly 80 per cent
of all human cancer. are environmental
in origin . That means that what we eat,
what we breathe, where we live and
work, how we spend our vacations, all
make up our environment and,
therefore, may affect chances of
developing cancer.
At Roswell Park Memorial Institute,
the New York State Health
Department's comprehensive cancer
center in Buffalo, researchers are exploring the effects of carcinogens (chemical
and biological agents that cause cancer)
in the environment .
According to Dr. Hira l. Gurtoo, an
associate research professor in pharmacology at U/ B in addition to his
Roswell position, the fact that only a
few of ,.the people who are exposed to
various carcinogens in the environment
develop cancer, implies that both genetic
and environmental factors are involved
in the determination of an individual 's
susceptibility to chemical carcinogens.
Dr. Gunoo is investigating what role
the genetic system may play in a person's
susceptibility to developing cancer. In
particular, he is examining the genetic
role of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH•)· metabolism-in- human - lung

cancer. One of the PAHs he~ interested
in is henzo a pyrene (BP), a common
product o f combustion. BP is found in
varying amounts in car exhaust fumes,
cigarette smoke, even in the romantic,
crackling wood flre. BP has been found
to cause cancer in animals.
Extensive studies have been carried
out on the metabolism, metabolic
activation. mutagenesis , and carcinogenesis of P AHs, expecially BP,
With various animal tissue and cell
culture systems . However, Gurtoo
pointed out, similar studies with human
cells are very few .
Dr. Gurtoo has now developed a cell
system which can be used as a model for

detailed study of the metabolism o f
PAHs and human cells . This may enable
researchers to study how PAHs, such as
BP, act upon cells and affect an individ~al 's susceptibility to them .
If it is established that a genetic trait
predisposes an individual to cancer, that
wiU provide a powerful tool for cancer

control. According to Dr. Gunoo, an
individual informed of his genetic
susceptibility would be more likely to
change his life sytle or to seek regular
medical check-ups. Also, occupational
cancer could he sharply reduced if
workers were screened fo r genetic
susceptibility before exposure to a
known carcinogen, he added .

1980

90 per cent of '79 grads
are employed or in school;
average salary is $14,958
More than 90 per cent of 1979 U/B
sraduaiCS arc either employed or continuing their educations, according to
results of a survey recently conducted by
the Career Planning Office. Those who
arc employed cam an average of Sl4,9Sg
or more.
Figures in the survey report arc based
on returns from 1,302 of 4,413
graduates who were sent questionoaircs-a return rate of almost 30 per

cent.

.

73.9 per cent of the respondents in~ted they were employed, 34.9 per
cent are continuing their educations, 7
per cent arc unemployed but seeking
employment, and a miniscule 1.3 per
cent arc not employed and not looking
for jobs.
According to Tom Hurley of the
Career Planning Office, who was
Eesponsiblc for the project, the totals
add up to more than I00 per cent
because some individuals were both
employed and continuing their educations.
Among the employed, almost gJ OJo
reported finding jobs in their major area
or in a related field. Some 131Jo found
jobs in fields unrelated to their academic
concentrations. Among the employed
group (a total of 962), 844 reported being employed full-time and liS, parttime.
Arts and sociaJ sciences on low side
Individuals with bachelor's degrees who
are employed full-time (305 of them)
reported beginning salaries averaging
SI4,9Sg a year. The individual ligu res
ranged from as low as $8,700 for a
bachelor's degree holder in American
Studies tQ $21,333 for industrial
engineers. -Graduates in all engineering
fiel.ds reported average salaries of at
least $17,000 or more. Also reporting
bigh beginnin_a. wage levels were
computer scienf e majors, who averaged
Sig,787, and individuals with bachelors
in economics where lhe average reponed
salary was $18,500. Arts and Letters and
Social Sciences majors t~nded to be at
the lower end of the scale.
Individuals graduating with master's
degrees (104) had beginning salaries
averaging $16,018, according to the
survey. Again , scientific and
professional-technical field grads
reported higher incomes. Holders of the
MBA (35) reported starting salaries
averaging $19,667, while three with
masters ia computer science reported an
average of $21,750. Twelve engineers
with masters had average pay of
$22,000.
Sl!l,486 for Pia-D.'s
Among doctoral degree rectptcnts
responding (S I), the bcginoing salaries
avcrqed Sl9,406. AU but one of these
illaividuals were employed in their
tlllljor flelds or related arcils. Only g.6"11
(9 individuals) of doctoral graduates
said they were unemployed and looking
lor wO&lt;k.
·
Six individuals with Ph.D's in English
£CP.Orted salaries averaging $14,300.
Nineteen with doctorates in education
avcraccd $22,363. Among Ph.D .
averages in other fields arc: psychology,
$17,750; communications, $19,000;
ma.naa•mcnt, S2l,SOO; biology, $20,350;
ar.~ chemical engineering, $27,000. The
average beginning salary for 25 law
grads was $17,053.
Almost 40% of employed graduates
reported working for medium or large
businesses. The second largest category
of employers was health-medicine,
where IS.4'1t of employed respondents
arc work:ing. Other employer category
slft.fes were: small businesses 10.20Jo;
uni,..rsities 9.31Jo; secondary schools
7.I OJo; social service agencies 4. S OJo;
federal government 4. 1'It; local government 2.2'lo; colleges 2.1 'lo; state government 20Jo; self-employed 1.3'1t; elementary schools .8'1t; junior colleges .30Jo;
a~d others .giJo.

S6 'io are here
Fifty-six per cent of all employed
respondents are living and working in
Western New York, the survey indicates.
Strangely enough, when contrasted to
the large percentage of U/ B enrollment
from New York City, only 9% of
employed graduates arc work:ing there.
14.g1Jt arc employed elsewhere in New
York State, bringing the total for all of
New York to almost 801Jo.
The other 200Jo who arc employed arc
scattered around the nation as follows:
Northeast 9.30Jo; southeast 1.90Jo; north
central 3.90Jo; south central .SOJo ;
northwest .80Ja, and southwest 3.60Jo .
Only one respondent was employed outside the U.S.
Among the more lhan 400 individuals
who reported being enrolled·in graduate
schools, 41.40Jo were pursuing the same
major field as they had in their previous
educational work. 38. 90Jo were studyi ng
a related major, and 19.g0Jo had taken
up a totally different, non-related
major.
or those in graduate schools, 73.40Jo
were enrolled full-time. 6S0Jo were
attending public graduate schools and
3SCI'Ja, private institutions.
Career planning spokesperson Hurley
cautions that the survey results could be
skewed somewhat by the tendency of the
most satisfied and least satisfied among
graduates to respond to such inquiries.
Nonetheless, he notes, the figures are the
best gtlides available by which to judge
the employment rate success and funher ....
educational aspirations of U/ B grads.
The figures don't vary much from year
to year over a ten-year span, said
Hurley. Comparative longitudinal
figures are not available, though, he
said. because questions on the survey
tend to differ from year to year.

Rules now
cover computers
The age of computers has come to U/ B
Student Rules and Regulations.
At its meeting of September 4, the
U/ B Council amended thcl9gO-gl Rules
concerning "Misuse of University
Supplies or Documents" (Section 3.00),
"Academic Dishonesty" (Section 4.00),
and "Unlawful Sale of Dissertations,
Theses, and Term Papers" (Section
S.OS) to make these rules "explicitly
applicable to misuse or plagiarism involving computer data or assignments."
According to Ronald K . Dollman,
associate director, Office of Student
Affairs, the revisions are consistent with
recommendations made last spring by
the Academic Computing Advisory
Committee-with one exception . That
exception is that selling computer
assignments or assistance in such
assignments has become a violation of
University rules only. Violations involving sale of or help with written
ass;gnmcnts constitute a breach of U/B
rules, but arc also Class B misdcrneapors
under the State Education Law. Obviously, the Council lacked the authority
to include computer cheating under the
State statute.
Their primary reason for requesting
the changes, the Academic Computing
Committee said, "is to dispell any confusion or uncenainty as to the applicability of the Rules and Regulations" to computer assignments.
Although a variety of other academic
materials had traditionally been listed in
the affected sections, computer data and
assignments had not been.

40 and floun
g,
she got help from U/B
BY MARC LEEDS
"Everyone was leaving home. ll sounds
ridiculous to say but I was 40 and had to
ask myself the question: What am I going to do when 1 grow up? ..
Maureen Doeblih now laughs at th is
episode in her life, but back in 197g she
took her dilemma seriously. That's when
she turned to the University of Buffalo
for some answers.
Having graduated with a nursing
degree from a small Catholic sc hool in
Rochester in 19Sg, Mrs. Doeblin was
married two weeks after graduation (her
husband is a physician), and four
months later became pregnant. She
never had any-doubt that she would stay
horne and care for her growing family
(which came to include four children),
but she also didn't realize how much
time she would have once they had
grown up.
Looking back on 20 years of
motherhood and volunteer work for
various medical causes, Mrs. Docblin
decided to look for new avenues of
achievement. " In ll7g I registered for a
credit-free courscirt the Millard Fillmore
College entitled 'Mid-Career Decisions
for Women.' I thought of continuing my
education by pursuing a graduate nursing degree, but I soon realized that my
skills hadn't become as outmoded as I
had thought. My deficiencies could have
been remedied by reading the operating
manuals for some of the new equipment.
I was still capable - but I decided that I
didn't want to repeat the regimen of
another nursing program.''
This decision came after six months at
Children's Hospital as a recreational
therapist, a position she sought after her
mid-career course as a way of determining if her interests still lay in her original
discipline.
UIB started ber
Although Mrs. Docblin became discochanted with nursing as such, she found
that many parents w.ho had children in
the ambulatory care unit would seck her
out for counseling. This came about
because she was so well received by her
adolescent paticnl,S, a feat Mrs. Docblin
credits to her understanding the cultural
differences of those in her ward. With
the good responseS she received from her
experience at Children's, she felt that
perhaps a degree in the social sciences
coupled with her nursing degree and experience as a volunteer fund-raiser
would aid in her search for meaningful
employment. "U/B started me off. It
gave me the chance to buy back part of

fear of failure
.
Last academic year, Mrs. Doeblin held a
graduate assistantship in the Interdisci plinary Degree Program for the
Social Sciences. She se rveO. as an
academic adYiso r in the M.F.C. Adult
Advisement Center where she is sympathetic to the fears and insecuritjes of
returning students, having faced the
si tuation herself.
The most prevalent symptom among
those contemplating a return to school is
fear of failure in a formal program, she
notes. "Many middle-aged people want
to come back and recognition is a very
big part of it; yet, their approach in class
is 'please don't notice me until I catch
on.' At first they don't want all the
demands of a formal program until they
prove to themselves they are worthy but you should sec how quickly they
want recognition once they see they can
do it!"
Mrs. Docblin feels she is an astute
observer of the returning student's
dilemma since she is in the typing stage
of her master's thesis. entitled " Dual
Career Families and Social Change."
Tltls Is It!
Despite the wealth of educational institutions in the Western New York area,
Mrs. Docblin says she never had any
doubt about which one she would attend. She candidly states her reasoning
as follows: "This is it! In 19S8 I was the
outstanding little Catholic girl coming
out of a small, well-equipped institution.
But this is where the big kids arc. This is
a major university and in order to make
a major change in your life - as I
wanted - you need the strength, depth,
and diversity of an eminent university.
P19fcssionally, this is where the
cllallcngc would be. If you ' re going to
do anything requiring any sort of professionalism then you should come and
have the experience of competing in a
major university.
" Then, too, U/8 is a microcosm of
what society is composed of."
Maureen Docblin feels she has at least
25 years of meaningful, challenging
work ahead of her- with the possibility
of some time out for a Ph.D. She encourages others to re-assess their present
directions and invites one and all to
register for her M.F.C. class this winter
entitled, "Adult Students In Higher
Education" (M.F.C. 199). She says ,it
w1U be a self-assessment and orientation
class. It will include academic skills
testing, library orientation, and discussions about the expectations of students
entering the University, as· well as the
- Univ.or-iit.y's-expectatio ns.

Orientation sessions set
for new department heads
An orientation program for departmen~
tal chairs, deans and directors appointed
on or after September I, 1979, will begin
on September 29, Roben Pearson, assistant vice president and personnel
director, has announced .
According to Pearson, the program
will involve several sessions, and evolved
from a request earlier this year by
former Executive Vice President Alben
Somit. Several faculty members and administrators also made suggestions.

The sessions will attempt to cover as
simply as possible basic administrative
guidelines, operating procedures and
contractual obligations for whkh
· depanment heads are responsible and
within which they are authorized to conduct University business. While presentations will be geared to needs of recent
appointees, Pearson said those less
recently appointed are also invited to attend and share their insights.
The firSt session on September 29 will
be an introduction to the University.
The President, E. W. Doty, vice presi•

de~t for finance and management, and
Roben Wagner, deputy vice president,
will outline how the University is
organized and the relationship of the
President to various overseeing boards
W constituency groups. Research ,
t.J\18-SUNY -State personnel relation ships and classification a nd salary ad ministration systems will also be
coveted.
On October 6, · facult y/ professional
employee relations will be the topic.
Subtopics will include the Board of
Trustees' Policies and State-UUP
Agreements; Campus Policies on Affir·
mative Action and Equal Employment
Opportunity; and a discussion of
budget/ payroll matters.
Classified service employee relations
and the faculty/ benefit programs will be
taken up on October 20.
All sessions· are slated from 1-5 p.m .
in the Jeannette Martin Room. Capen
Hall.
Those wishing to attend a re asked to
reserve a seat by calling Rosalyn Wilkinson, Ext. 2754, Amherst.

�Vol•- 12, No. 3, September II, 1910

Why was

•·roea

registration
so painless?
Everyone agrees the fall registnition process was probably the best in the recent

Twobrtalr.lllroups
Among the series of refmements introduced this year, Wasner credits two
with being major breakthroughs. The
ftrst was development by the Computing

Center of a concurrent, three semester
registration capability. With this improvement, Computin&amp; could handle
spring, summer and fall semester
registrations at once. This made it
possible to offer early on-line registratidn for the fall semester last spring, arid
to continue that process throughout the
summer. The new capability enabled
freshmen attending orientation sessions
in July and August to leave with fmal
fall class schedules in hand. In previous
years, freshmen were able only to file
schedule requests during orientation.
They often bad to redo the entire
schedule by dropping and adding
courses after the semester began. This
summer, they could do. that rearranging;
where necessary, at orientation, with the
assistance of advisers.
The second · major improvement,
according to Wagner, resulted from
efforts taken· l)y academic units to ensure stability in their class schedules.
Many registration problems in the past
were caused by the fact that classes listed
on the original schedule were simply not
taught at all, or were changed to other
times and/or locations. The result was a
great deal of confusion for students.
One such last-minute change could
easily disrupt an entire schedule. Under
the old system, shifts of ·this nature
could be negotiated directly between an
instructor and the Scheduling • Office.
Now, any change request has to be
countersigned by a departmental chairman and .. dean.
Otber factors which made things
smoother

Among still other factors contributing to
smoother registration, Wagner cited:
• The introduction of on-line
"exception registration" [this used to
take up to two weeks by means of
"batch" handling);
• The introduction of an automatic
computer determination of a student's
class level (based on the number of
semester hours completed), rather than
leaving this up to students themselves
[this information is important in
registration for classes restricted to a
certain student level);
• The maintenance of uvery- good

faculty and staff [the first step, Bennett
explains, is to fmd ways to fund a
feasibility study, something Sub-Board
has declined to do.) Day Care miaht cost
up to $30,000 a year, but Bennett feels it
would be an important incentive in attracting grad students.
• Encouraging grad studen1S to Tf!QI/
and use to their advantag~ tM GAITA
guidelines issued by the Grtldl«lk
School. if anyone feels he or she is involved in a situation which diverges
from those guidelines, that individual
should contact GSA at once.
• Alerting grad students that the
Counseling Center is setting up rap
groups for those suffering from ..classic
post-orals writing block. " Those in sutl!
difficulty should contact Dr. Dorothy
Adema at the Counseling Center. [Beonett, incidentally, is writing his own
dissenation on "Fef! inist Utopian
Writing" of the past decade.)
·
Much as he might prefer otherwise,
GSA will also continue disbursing
money to various depanmcntal clubs
and activity groups which elect representatives to its membership, drawing on
the "bargain" $9 mandatory fee that
grad students pay each semester. Tbal
fee is stretched tautly to cover a spectrum of extracurricular opportuDities,
Bennett explains. It entitles feepayers to
most SA-sponsored events, funds GSA
operations, and is " retumc:d" to
feepayers through their clubs. Without
the fee, there'd be no GSA, no central
advocacy group for students.

Effort paiq off,
Wagner recounts
history of the University. The question is
why.
The answer, according to ·Robert
Wagner, depury vice president for
budget· and chairman of a Registration
Task Group which was established last
fall, is that individuals and offices involved in the process have been talking
together and working to enhance the
system. The goal is to remove as much
pain as possible from students' lives.
Improvements noted this semester,
Wagner said, are the first in a phased
series of innovations to be introduced
through the fall of 1982.
The attention to registration will not
end there, either. The Registration Task
Group will be a continuing University
Committee. Otbenvise "the system that
we will have spent over two years refming could fall apan again within a
semester," Wagner said.
At the heart of the improvements,
Wagner emphasized, is a clarification of
responsibilities and areas of
accountability of the various University
offices concerned with registration particularly the academic VPs, and the
offices of Admissions and Records,
Computin&amp;, Scheduling, and Academic
Advisement. Other sources have talked
about a new cooperation among these
several units.

p•~

Bennett reviews
GSA agenda

stability in coniinunication" between
registration terminals and the central
computer, enabling students to receive a
response on schedule requests within a
short period of time;
• The development by Admissions
and Records of a trained staff of
tempontry registration workers (these
individuals have been through several
registrations now and have become well
acquainted with the process);
elmproved planning for staffing of
registration sites durin8 peak demand
periods;
• The elimination of several irrelevant or outdated "check stops" from
the computer program (one of these was
a "provost check stop" which had
remained in the program long after provosts bad ceased to exist);
eElimination of many other ''detail' '
problems through a concerted effort to
upd&amp;ie student data fLies prior to
registration;
• Using mail registration for continuing MFC and graduate students;
.J
• Having the registration syst&amp;l
operatin&amp; at full peak over the Labor
Day weekend, including the holiday
itself;
• Setting up a registration command
post in the Scheduling Office at Crofts
Hall where deans' offices could get daily
repons on how class sections were filling
up; and
e Having all offices related to
registration, including Student Accounts. obsetve the same extra office
hours.
Another pius, Wagner suggested, was
the preparation of a booklet outlining
registration procedures for the entire
year, which is available from the Office
of Admissions and Records . The
booklet contains pertinent dates and
information concerning fall registration,
pre-spring re8iStration (which begins
November 18), regular spring registration, pre-fall '81 registration, and
summer '81 registration. It also provides
students with information about wj.lo
handlp materials related to all phases of
registration. Setting up this year-lopg
registration schedule alerts departments
to the various deadlines they will be
required to meet in determining class
offerings, another major step in
" regularizing" the entire process.
More iaaovatioas
Even more innovations will be noted
next spring. Wagner identified three:
1. M'ore comPreliebsive information

on the availability of classes will be
available at computer terminals to help
students in schedule planning;
2. The MFC class schedule will be
available when day students are registering. This means that for the first time a
day student who wishes to take an evening class can register for it while signing
up for his/her daytime schedule.
3. Computer terminals will be able to '
handle changes and discrepancies in student Social Security numbers, problems
that used to drive students out of the
registration lines and into other offices ·
for resolution.
Evaluation of registration changes is
not being left simply to those who planned them, Wagner said. The Student
Testing Office has taken readings of
students' assessments and will be
reporting the data latenhis fall .

Group are: Carlota Baca, President's

Home violence
worse than streets?
There's more violence in the home than
in the street, according to a professor of
psychology at the SUNY College of
Human Ecology. Testifying in Congress, Harold Feldman stated that
domestic violence is very much underreported and may be reaching
"epidemic" proportions . Statistics
which are available, he noted, "give the
impression that being a member of a
family is dangerous."

He's optilllistic

and works from local artists decorating
its walls, the "neW" Center Theatre is
ready to welcome its audience .

Neil Radice, who spearheaded the
spruce-up efforts and also handles the
theater's bookings among a myriad of

Cabaret Theatre, which Radice hopes to
complete next month in time for " Jazz
at the Center. "

The Cabaret , a converted cocktail
lounge, will seat about 50. Radice wants
bookings li mited to theatrical entertainment , such as mime or comedy sketches.
For now, he's nixing musicians or standup comedians.
Eric Bentley,. who is running a

Cabaret workshop this semester, is putting together a piece for the Cabaret.
Saul Elkin is doing the same.
Admission to the Cabaret will depend
on the show, noted Radice. Mixed
drinks and a small menu will also be provided at extra cost .

Although to date it hasn' t happened,
Radice is hopeful this season's offerings
will entice more of the University community to attend the Theatre's productions.

Technical work for Center Theatre
pr~uctions will be directed this year by
.MI(e English, who once was on faculty

tions presented by the U/ B Opera
Workshop.
.
Besides English, other staff at Center
Theatre include 5 . CETA workers, a
. secretary, and two students hired on one
Maintenance line to do light cleaning.

Plans for blgh 'schools
Some of the CETA employees with
theatre backgrounds will visit local high
schools to present acting workshops.
Radice views this program as good for
the depanment, the theatre and the
University in general.
He has also o rganized an apprentice

program which uses city high school
students to man the box office and work
as ushers, etc., during performances, in

exchange for acting and dance classes
and an opportunity to work backstage.
Fina1ty, workshop demonstrations in

conjunction with Theatre and Dance
performances will be held for interested
members of area high school English
classes.
For $2, students will be exposed to all
phases of play production, from conception to performance. Directors, actors,
set designers, etc., will participate. The

price also includes admission to a performance of the play.

Task Force is studying
needs of special admissions
Dr. Murray Schwartz, dean of the
Colleges, is chairing a special Presidential Task Force to identify and address
the needs of undergraduate students
admitted through non-traditional admission programs.

The charge to tl)e group is as follows:
I . Explore ways by which the Univer-

01her responsibilities he seems to enjoy,

sity can identify the academic and nonacademic needs of our undergraduate

confidently expects the season 10 be "so

no option but to continue its rental contract for another three years. The contract expires at the end of this season.

traditional admission programs.

2. Develop a strategy to meet those
needs. This would include developing a
vehicle by which these services would be
delivered. (For example, President
Ketter noted, uyou might wish to con-

sider the possibility of bringing together

academic and administrative departments which, in turn, would serve as a

resource for each student.)
3. The group should develop an
instrument to meisure, on at least an

annual basis, how well the needs of these
students are being met.
The following individuals are serving
on the panel:
Ms. Muriel Atkinson- Moore,

assistant director of undergraduate

educational studies for the University
Learning Center; Mr. Wallace Farrell,
president of the Black Student Union
and representing the Undergraduate Student Association; Mrs. Allie Freeman,
assistant professor/ Psychiatry; Ms. Kay

Richardson, Public Affairs; Ms. Massie
Wright, counseling psychologist/Student Counseling; Ms. Helen Wyant,
director/Student Testing.
The task force should submit a report
of its activities and recommendations by
the end of the Fall semester 1980, Ketter
said.
Non-traditional admission programs
include minority programs and also programs for special admissions students in
various disciplines-natural sciences and

and soft drinks. At noon there
team sports (volleyball, tug
o'war) for the active, and a " tree
walk" for the contemplative. The
"tree walk," which will be led by
Mary Mllida of Rachel Carson College, combines a leisurely hike
with identifying the many species
of flora around Baird Point and the
Ellicott Complex. Under the direction of Professor Peter Gold,
Rachel Carson College has designed_ and printed a handsome map to
accompany this exploration. Noon

One of the big shows slated to
open at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York this fall is called
" The Vikings." It may come as
news that these legendarily barbarous seamen, whose reputations are 11enerally associated with
such actovities as rape, pillage,
and plunder, have left a legacy of
memorable art. There are wrought
works of gold, silver, wood and
bone; and, of course, excellent
loot.
The British Museum in London
organized . this show (the ir
catalogue describes the Viking art
of war as " consisting largely of
bashing hell out of the opposing
side" ), and the director of that
museum, David Wilson, will travel
to Buffalo, together with Rosemary
Cramp, professor of Archeology,
Durham University, England , and
Peter Sawyer, professor o f
Medieval History at Leeds University, England. The visit was coordinated by Robert T. Farrell, professor of English , Medieval
Studies, and Archeology at Cornell , with the English Departments
of U/B, State University College
and Canisius serving as local
sponsors for the lectures by these
very distinguished guests.
Professor Cramp will introduce
the Vikings in the context of
medieval Europe in her lecture on
Monday, September 22, "The Vik·
ing Image." Dr. Wilson, who,
before becoming director of the
British Museum in 1977, was a professor and dean at University College, London, and author of Viking
Art and Viking Civil and Military
Engineering, will give a September
29 talkl entitled "The Vikings and
their
oot." Finally, Professor
SawY.er will discuss " The Causes
of Voking Activity" on October 13.
All lectures are at 8 p.m. in the
Albright -Knox
Art Gallery
auditorium. For additional information, call Professor Anne Payne in
the U/B English Department

Virgil Thomson
Virgil Thomson was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1896, and is
still going strong. The American
composer, who is perhaps best
known for his two operas with
librettos by Gertrude Stein, " Four
Saints in Three Acts" and "The
Mother of Us All," was a member
of the circle of American expatriates of the twenties and early
thirties who gathered around Miss
Stein, which Included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and
Janet Flanner (the "Genet" of the
New Yorker's "Letter from Paris.")
· Thomson also spent considerable
time with the group of French composer known as Les Six, and his
music was greatly influenced by

that of Erik Satie.
In 1940 Tholl)son became head
of the music department of the
New York Herald Tribune, where
his witty and penetrating reviews
secured him an International
reputation as a man of letters as
well as of music.
Thomson will be the guest of the
University from September 26-28
during which time he'll participate
in two concerts. The first of these,
"Virgil Thomson and Friends," will
take place on Friday, September
26, in Baird Hall at 8 p.m. The program will consist of Thomson's
" Acadian Dances " " Portraits "
and Cello Concerto; plano works of
Leo Smit; music by John Cage; and
"Sports and Diversions" by Erik
Salle, with Thomson as narrator.
The University Phllharmonla, conducted by James Kasprowicz, will
perform, as will Yvar Mlkhashoff
and Leo Smlt, pianists, Thomas
Hal11in, violinist, Joanne Lowe,
violist, and Jeffrey Krieger, prin·
cipal cell ist of the Hartford Symphony.
~
On September 28, Mr. Thomson
will be present at the performance
of more of his music and will again
play the role of narrator, this time
at Baird Point. See the magnet
Highlight, "Celebration '80" for
details of that program.

Photography/
La Photographie
"I do not believe that the
photograph, a split second in the
flow of life, can be obj,ctlve," says
Quebec photographer, Serge Clement, whose "Split Seconds" will
be part of a show of Canadian
photography to be exhibited In the
Capen Gallery (fifth floor of Capen
Hall) next month. Clement focuses
on "the arrangement of people's
lives " and his primary tool is
detail - In streets, rooms, faces.
His work has been exhibited
throughout Quebec and Ontario,
and was selected for "Exposure, "
the Art Gallery of Ontario's

�photography exhibition in 1975.
Three
other
Canad i an
photographers will be represented ·
in the group show, " Barbour/
Blahut/Legr«dy. " David Barbour, a
graduate of the University of
Saskatchewan and the Ban ff
School of Fine Arts, is a staff
photographer at the Win nipeg Art
Gallery. His work has been shown
there, as well as in the Art Gallery
of Ontario (" Exposure" 1975) and
at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Barbour photographs groups of
people, who seem remarkably
unrelated and aloof: a photography
of alienation.
Born in Toronto, John Blahut
completed his studies at Ryerson
Polytechnical Institute with the
presentation of a thesis on the
relationship between photography
and poetry. He has exhibited at the
M.F.A. Gallery in Rochester, at 567
Gallery and Deja Vue Gallery in
Toronto, and at the National Film
Board Photo Gallery in Ottawa. He
melds people , mannequins ,
statuary, and stiff social scenes into quasi-surrealistic images.
Miklos Legrady was born in
Budapest, but came to Canada
from Hungary at an early age. His
first exhibition of photographic
work was in the " Photography 25"
show presented by the National
Film Board some y ears ago. Since
then his urban landscapes have
been exhibitect widely, and are
included in a number of private
collections.
The photography of these four
Canadians,
arranged
and
presented by the Office of Cu ltural
Affairs, will be shown throughout
the month of October, one week of
which there will also be a chance
to look at another form o( artistic
expression from Canada: see
" Watch For... " about the Canadian
poetry festival.

Watch For ...
... a festival of C.nadian poetry,
with 14 poets convening in Buffalo
from October 15 to21. The opening
of the festival will feature a

the well-known Canadian poet and
nCIVelist, Margaret Atwood, and by
Michael Ondaatje, a poet and professor at York University in Toronto. See magnet directory for

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

Campus souring
on Gen Ed plan?
Campus reaction to the proposed
General Education Program-uniformly enthusiastic at frrst-may be souring.
Both the 'program and the process by
which it is being implemented .. have
been called into question by large
numbers of people," P resident Robert
L. Ketter told the Faculty Senate Tuesday.
What the Senate should do to calm increasingly negative reaction, Ketter advised, is to .. clearly reaffirm" the
substance of the proposed program.
The best time for such a reaffirmat.ion. he counseled, will be after the
report of a task force which is st udying
implememation. That report is due th is
month .

Ketter urged the Senate to hold hearings "so that any person may speak in
favor or in oppo ~: i ti o n to the program
and its implementation." Then, based
on these hearings, he suggested, .. you
should collectively ex press you rself on
what should be done."
The Preside nt's charge to the Senate
was based on "an increasi ng number of
complaints,. he has heard recently about

Frank Lloyd Wright:
he thought he should
design the whole world
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
N~ws

Burmu Staff

" I think Mr. Wright believed he should
design everything in the whole world .' '
So commented Edgar Tafel, former
apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and
now a prominent New York City architect, during a lecture and slide show
about his late teacher held in August in
U/ B's own Wright-designed building,
the Darwin D. Martin House at 125
Jewett Parkway.
.
Tafel was describing Wright 's arrogance, which he believes was born of
the man 's genius and vision. Wright's
scandalous personal ~fe, his uncom promising attitudes, his disregard for
c~ents' budget ceilings, his unheard-of
original designs - all these made him a
famoUs (perhaps "notorious" is the better word) figure in his own time. But the
theme underlying Tafel's remarks and
anecdotes was that the products of the
man's talents - buildings like Fallingwater, the Johnson W8]( Building,
the Prairie Houses - will keep his name
alive as th~ foremost American
architect.
The•lecture, titled "The Frank L:loyd

Wright I Knew, · was sponsored by the
Friends of the Darwin D. Martin House,

Lorelei z. Ketter whose purpose is to
raise funds for the renovation of the

Preliminary figures
show 5 per cent hike
in students, Senate hears
ByJOY~UCHNOWS~
R~port~r

Sttiff

Although final figures are not yet
available, as of last Monday, the University's projected enrollment was up 5 per
cent with Millard Fillmore College
leading the way in percentage increases.
Giving a run-down on projected
enrollments and application rates lo the
Faculty Senate Tuesday, President
Robert L. Ketter happily relayed that
MFC, which has consistently failed to
meet its enrollment targets over the past
few years, has 4,100 students enrolled
this year, up almost a thousand from
last year.
The President reported that the core
campus, budgeted for 22,061 students
will probably have just under 23,000;
Health Sciences, budgeted for 2,905 will
likely g~t a final headcount of about
2,950. T he Graduate Division is also expected 10 meet its target of 6,140 and the
professional schools will likely exceed
their 1,850 target by 80.
The University received a total of
21,179 undergraduate applic;&gt;tions, with
the number of freshmen and transfers
up from last year. Also up were
freshmen applications to the schools of
Architecture, Engineering, and Management. On the graduate level, the Law
School experienoed a 29 per cent hike in
1
applications.
U/ 8 also received a higher P.,rcentage
of applicants from outside the 8th
Judicial District, up from 52 to 58 per
cent.
Ketter said a survey of enrolled
students indicated that at the
undergraduate level, the average student
is taking one-half more credit hours this
year than last. Professional School
students (Medicine, Dentistry and Law)
are also about one-half credit hour
ahead while graduate and MFC students
remain stable.
Despite the " profound drop" in
enroUments forecast by the State Education Department, Ketter said that almost
every SUNY unit experienced an increase this semester. This is also the ~
for private schools. At least part of ihe
reason, Ketter noted, may be the
unemployment situation.
Robert Cerveny, chairman of the
Task Force on Implementation for
general education, briefly reviewed what
can be expected in his committee's
forthcoming report.
Aocording to Cerveny, the report will
explain what is necessary (in terms of
resources, number of courses, etc.) to
start the GE program next year. He said
the Committee wiD also note the effects
of the program on the University as a
whole, such as students shifts.
In addition, the report will give a
course implementation timetable over a
four year period for aU the knowledge
areas. Any problem areas the Committee discovered will be cited in the report. Brian Ratchford, who chairs the Ad-

that because of the Administrative decision to admit more freshmen this year
(the largest class ever) 90 per cent of
those who applied were accepted. This
refleclS an II per cent increase over lasr
year but only two per cent over 1978.
Ratchford indicated the Committee
believes the strategy of enrolling an exceptionally large freshman class was
adopted because it seemed like the
•• most viable means· of meeting enrollment targets. ' '
The report also concluded that the increase in the percentage of admits making deposits can be a ttribu ted to " increased dorm space" or to "SUNY A8 's
becoming the best alternative fo r weaker
applicants near the bottom of the pool.''
Ratchford suggested that the increased freshman class admissions "which
next Fall will be roughly 60 per cent
larger than that of 5 years ago" may be
an issue the Senate will want to investigate. Some governing recommendation may be in order, he said, such as
establishing quotas for each area and
differential admi ssion standards.

Council
okays top
level revamp
The U/ B Council kicked off th; 1980-81
year by: welcoming three new members
(U/B alumnus and surgeon Dr. Philip
Wels; Buffalo businessman John Walsh,
and student Chris Jasen); endorsing a
proposal for an organizational revamp
for the top administration; refusing to
"lease" space in a proposed privatelyfunded campus activities center; and
nominating three of its members for
State honors.
Reorpllizatloa 01111lae

President Robert L. Keuer outlined the
proposal for a new "functional"
organization for the University.
One of the things the change does is
reduce the numbers of those reporting to
the President. "It became clear that thiS
had to be done for the sanity of the
President," said Ketter. The new structure will allow him to "involve himself
more in planning and less in day-to-day
concerns," he explained.
Elimillation of the office of executive
vice president is the major realignment,
the President went on. Confusion existed in people's minds, said Ketter, as to
' whether they reported through the executive VP to him, or whether they
reponed to the executive VP.
Adding an academic services vice
president to whom units supporting the
academic enterprise will report should
both clear up the&lt;:onfusion and lead to
better coordination of support services
relating to students, Ketter suggested.
Reporting to the new VP under the
plan would be Admissions and Records,
Scheduling, Computing, financial Aid,
the Educational Communications
Center, and the University Libraries.
The Libraries oppose the alignment,
though, Ketter indicated, because in
their
view
they
are
being
"downgraded." That is not the case,
however, argued the President. For the
last year and a half, the Libraries have
been reporting to the executive vice
president, with Keller being consulted
only when problems arose.
_
Reponing directly to the President
under the new proposal will be aU vice

The naming of Dr. Robert Rossberg,

Chairman Millonzi informed the Council that be had "personaUy" selected
Pulitzer Prize·winning composer David

the fall of 1981. Del Tredici, . Millonzi
assured, composes music ''people want
to hear." It will be an "exciting event,"
he promised .
No space wanted
In response to an inquiry from Graduate
Student Association President Howard
Benneu, the Council decided it has no
need of space in an Activities Center
which students are proposing be built at
Amherst using private funds. A letter
from Bennett asked both. for an indication of interest in reserving space and for

On November 21, the Council will

prior to a 2 p.m. meeting. The reason is
to provide an opponunity for the Coun·
cil to "show itself" to students. New
student member Jasen expressed the
concern of st udents that the Council is
too "isolated ."

A proposal f6r a sewer line resulted in an

Dr. Stuart Scott, with more than 20 stu dent helpers and volunteers, spent most
of the summer at Old Fort Niagara,
which is sit uated at the mouth of the
Niagara River. Because the fon is a na·

assessment must be carried out before a

Two U/ 8 representatives expressed concern over the tenative Regents Statewide
Plan for Higher Educalion in hearings
held at the State Office Building
downtown on Tuesday.
University President RobeJ;t L. Ketter
questioned the Rege~ts proposals on five
counts while Student Association President Timothy Sheehan took exception to
what he viewed as the private school bias
of the document.
Opening his testimony, Presidenl Ketter found himself in "rare agreement"
with many parts of the plan. He particularly lauded the plan's call for supplemental state aid for buying library
books, and hoped that this proposal includes increased funding for pubtic institutions as well as private.
Nevertheless, Ketler rerriained ''deeply troubled" by a number of the proposals.
For ~ openers, he said , enrollment
assumptions are inordinately negative,
unrealistic, and "do not present an accurate reflection of social and economic
conditiOns that now exist or will
develop.'' ._ For example, Ketter noted,
the plan fails to recognize that in times
of significant unemployment, college
enrollments tend to increase-and vice
·versa.
Ketter disagreed, too, with the plan's
assumptions that currerft levels of funding for higher education in New York
are adequate, and that future savings
can be realized because of projected
enrollment declines. The reality of the
sit uation, he said, is that higher education has been severely hurt by inflation
and is today "dangerou~ly underfunded." Future savings, he urged,
should properly be used to raise funding
to more realistic levels. The Regents do
not acknowledge, he said, that excellence costs money.

'Overly-simplistic'
The Regents' use of a single space quantity per full-time st udent to project needed facilities is "overly simplistic," Ketter charged. This is especially true, he
Said, tn the case of university centers
where the nature and character of
various pro_grams involve widely diff~r~nt requ1remeqts. Imposition of a
rtgid s'!~ce allotment per student, he
noted, shows a lotal lack -of understanding about how a research institution functions," and could cause
"serious and permanent harm."
he plan also leans heavily toward
dardization of programs and institus, Ketter said, labelling this "a
tendency that ultimately will move all
~~~t~:~~~~ons toward mediocrity-not

A private slant

Both the language of the Regents' document and its subtleties provide a slant
toward private education, S.A. President Sheehan told the hearing. For example, Sheehan said, the Regents' proJCCI that more students will opt for
private education by 1990 than will be
enrolled in State University. This is an
artificial assumption, he contended
"let the sludents decide where they
would tike to go," Sheehan advised
Such decisions, he said, should be baSed
on the quality of and cost of attending
the institUtions concerned and not be influenced by the Regents' plan.
Sheehan feels many of the criteria for
quahty also work againsl public higher
education . Manr of the small colleges
and community collegei within
SUNY ,he noted, are not geared to deal
with large numbers of out-of·state or
foreign students, for example. And
SUNY as a whole is dedicated to serving
New York State students. Sheehan feels
these enrollment considerations have little to do with institutional quality.

debuts in
Capen H~ll
Just like passengers checking on flight
mformation at airline terminals,
members of the campus community can
now check TV. monitors in two locations
in Capen Hall to find out wh~t's going
on on campus.
The experimental comp uteri zed
system began this week using monitors
located just above the candy counter in
the Capen lobby and in the second floor
lounge opposi te the entrance to the
Science and Engineering Library.
The system is operated from a minicomputer located in the Office of Public
Affairs on lhe fifth floor of Capen. In
charge of feeding informatian into the
system is Ms. Sally Maxfield. She advises that she will be sending departments and agencies special forms on
which to submit information to be flashed on the screens.
Basically, the syslem operates in the
same manner as the infonnation notices
channel on a cable television system. It
has the capability of providing up to 20
''pages'' of information on any one day.
These pages will flash on the screen in
continuous rotation.
The system, which makes use of a
hobby computer bolstered by a
sophisticated software set-up, Wa5 devised by Cliarles (Corky) Brunsltill of
Public Safety wilh lhe collaboration of
Dr. Richard Campbell of Speech Comm_unication. Campbdl is the software
wizard, according to Brunsltill.
Brunsltill advises that the system will
be ••up and down'' ror about a week until all the ugliches" have been
eliminated. Then it's hoped it will
become a regular campus information

desires rather than the need for individuals to accommodate themselves 1'1

identified and presented by the Universi·
ty as being of common-or general-importance in the life of any educated per-

As if there were any doubt, Morton
Feldman, U/B's Edgar Varese Professor
of Music9 is in the top ten. Not on any
pop music hit parade, mind you, but in a
list of the ten most '"significant" serious
music compositions o f the 1970's as
compiled recently by New York Times
critic John Rockwell.
Along with works by such luminaries
as Dmitri Shostakovich, Philip Glass
and Elliott Carter, Rockwell cites
Fddman's .. Rothko Cha pel" as a work
.. that might one day claim the status of
•masterpiece.' ••
Rockwell concedes that his list ,
published in the July 21 issue of the
Times~ is a .. subjective" one. And he
admits that the very term "masterpiece"
has been rejected as outdated by some
modern composers and theoreticians.
Rockwell adds that for another segment
of the classical music audienco;, "new
music is dismissed as ugly or henrtetic or
a tired repetition of gimmicky ideas that
weren't very interesting when they were
new." For the latter group, he indicates,
the word masterpiece - as applied to
modem music - is a contradiction in
Says Rockwell o f the Feldman work:
.. If John Cage is the most innuential
theoretician for experi mental music, Mr.
Feldman has been his most musicaJiy
persuasive disciple. surpassing even his
master on musical grounds alone.
' Rothko Chapel' is for chorus, viola and
percussion, and attempts with considerable success to capture in music the
quiet impact o f Mark Rothko' s
brooding, mysticaJ paintings."
s,lrlaat n..u--t
Tbe work sets its title from the
'"spiritual environment" as Feldman
puts il,- which the "late Russian-born
paintc:f (be committed suicide i n 1970)
created in Houston "as a place for contemplation where men and women of all
faiths, or of none, may meditate in

merging sections. I envisioned an immobile procession not unlike the friezes

Clear..,yed coaslstency
Feldman, whose music has been performed widely in Europe as well as in the
United States, is famous for his
breathlessly quiet and at ti mes, nea)-ly
inaudible, creations. Critics also point
out that his music is frequently very differen t from that written by most other
contemporary composers. Chicago
Tribun~ music writer John Von Rhein
says that Feldman " has managed to
maintain a certain clear..eyed consistency
in how he chooses to project sounds into
time. That consistency gives his music its
recognizability and at the same time its
spare, quiet objectivity." Feldman's
works, he adds, .. actually have more in
common with some of the New York circle of abstract expressionist painters in
which he traveled in the 19SO's."
He is also known for his use of " indeterminancy" in music, althoush.tbis is
not always the case. Feldman and other
composers like Christian Wolff, ex-.
plains Los Anseles writer Peter Yates,
often " proyide merely a .rousb chan of

their intentions, leavi ng it to the performer to decide the specific interpretation, or the assembly of pans or the
order and grouping o f the notes, or the
types and ki nds o f sou nds."
The 54-year-old composer/pian ist was
educ;u ed in th e New York public school
system and began composing at age
nine. At 12, he started piano lessons
with Mme. Maurina-Press, a woman
who had grown up in Russia with
Aleksandr Scriabin and who had been a
pupil of Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924),
the famous Italian pianist and composer. Feldman later sludie4 musicaJ
composition with Wallingford Riegger
and Stef"J Wolpe.
The E«gar Varese Professor of Music
has lectured at universities all over the
United Stales -a.nd in England and has
recorded for Columbill, Timr, Drutsche
Grammophonr and Elrctro/4. Feldman
has long been an associate of fellow in·
determinist John Cage, whom he met in
19SO at Carnegie Hall when both were
attending a New York Philharmonic
performance of Anton We~rn's Sym·
phony for Small Orchestra.

General education or core programs
came to be defined only in terms of
credit hours.
Some undergraduate~ may be able to
define for themsel ves a coherent pattern
of general studi es. Ketter said , but
"others may have neither t he competence , the j ud gme nt . nor th e
demonstrated achievement .''
He called on the Universit y in that
1975 statement to "begin to insist upon
some minimum exposure to. and / or
demonstrated possession of, a commt m
core of knowledge among it s gradu·
ates.''
The identification of what such a program should contain was made by a
University Committee on General
Education in a report in April 1979.
That report, general in nature, v.as
translated into specifics through later
commiuee work. Required "knowledge
areas" were defined . Mechanisms were
worked out for evaluating new and ex·
isting courses for inclusion . A "themes"
requirement was described more precisely, and criteria and models developed
for alternative core programs.
A revised and enlarged version of the
original plan was then approved by th e
Faculty Senate last November, together
with a definition o( adjustments for
students in specialized areas. The implementation timetable approved then
was September 1980 fo r the College
Skills component of the program (basic
skills requirements in math and English)
and September 1981 for the knowledge
area and theme course: requirements (13
courses spread over six knowledge
areas). "In each case," Ketter recalled,
.. the requirement was to apply to
freshmen entering in that panicular year
and to all subseq uent classes."
Oaty tbe writiac compo~~eal is ia effect
Only the writing component of the College Skills requi rement was introd uced
this semester- "'and this was with great
difficulty," the President reponed.
'"The number o f students and amount of
resources requ ired far exceeded our expectations, which were based on a 1979
pilot study of 500 freshmen . Plans for
the mathematics requ irement were
found to be pedagogically una= ptable
by both the dean of Natural Sciences
and Mathematics and the undersraduate
dean... This component was deferred
one year, during which time tbe Department or Mathematics and/or other
mathematics-related disciptines are to
carry out pilot instructional programs.
Tbe initial phase of implementation
has dramatized a critical point, Ketter
emphasized to tbe Senate: " resources whether financial, human , or
facilities- must ~and an an overriding
concern in the implementation of any
program of General Education. Enrollment and mjuired resource shifts could
well be a consequence. "
Because last year's efforts to obtain
reliable information in these areas "were
less then productive," Ketter recounted,
the undergraduate dean last June
reconstituted a Task Force, one of
whose purposes is to develop j ust such
information. The basic charge was to
determine if knowledge area requirements can ~ implemented in their
present form by September 1981 or
whether deferral or a phasing operation
is necessary.
Task force - ' Is

me key

" One juc!sment toward this end," Ketter said, " would ~ to ~ermine tbe
number of counes necessary in each of
the mjuired areas ~fore this particular
segment is implemented."
Tbe Task Force report should ~ used
to determine future action, be SUSI!ested
to the Senators.

Frank Lloyd Wright:
~he wanted the world
Niae yean with FLW
The Martin House is described in much
detail in Tafel's recent book, Apprentice
to Genius, upon which his lecture was
largely based. The book describes
Tafel's nine years with Wright, who liv·
ed from 1867 to 1959.
''ln Mr. Wright, I found my own
great man,'' afel wrote in Apprentice.
At 19, he left his architectural studies at
New York University to join Wright's
unonhodox "fellowship" at Taliesin,
his school in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
It was the middle of the Depression, not
a time when architecture seemed a pro·
mising career.
Tafel was awestruck when meeting
,. Wright for the flfSt time: uWhat a
presence he had! He shot out electricity
in every direction.''
The former apprentice ehjoys telling
of his teacher's eccentricities. When
riding in the car, one of Wright's
favorite pastimes, his command of
"Let's tap the cesspool!" meant, "Tum
on the radio." He loved moving furniture around, especially in other
peoples' homes. Often upon entering a
house the first thing he did was move
something, or even rearrange flowers in
a vase. He was late in paying biDs and
salaries. His hair was long and he often
wore dramatic capes.
He....,_
·~He rarely talked-in a whisper," Tafel
wrote. ''How could be? He loved to
bellow out a tired phrase: •America is
the only country to have gone from a
state of barbarism to· a state of
decadeoce with no intervening culture.'
The simplest statement, from his
tongue, became a graven, immutable
truth for all ages, even if it was just
about the weather," Tafd sighed.
Tafd told in bis lecture of bis recent
discovery that Wright, who had had a
quote from "Leaves of Grass" engraved
on a wall at Taliesin, had even had the
, temerity to change a few of Whitman's
words!
Wright's personality did overwhelm
many of bis appreoti=, but Frederick
Gutbeim of George Washington University bas written of Tafel, "He is one of
the few an:hitects we can recognize who
grew ratber than were crushed tjy thieir
experiax:es at Taliesin."
Wriabt's most famous existing
buildiup are FaJiinlwater, a home in
Mill Run. Pennsylvania; the Jolmson
Wax Ada)inistratioo builclina in Racine,
Wiscoalin , and his Prairie bowcs, -ttercd in oeveral stateS, some demolished,

The Martin House is CODiidered one

contrast , many people, upon entering
the Martin House for the first time,
comment on the atmosphere of se~nity
produced by the now of the main rooms
and the careful and consistent selection
of building materials.
The house was commissioned by Dar·
win D. Martin, secretary of the Larkin
Company of Buffalo, originally a soap
manufacturing business and later a mail·
orde ~ and wholesale firm .

book) a trip to Buffalo he made with
Wright and a few other apprentices in
1936. Wright had decided to visit
Pittsburgh from Taliesin.
"With him, the shortest road between
two points was by way of a Wright
building, " Tafel said, laughing. He added that Wright considered his works to
be his real "children. " The group went
first to Indiana, then Detroit, through
Canada. to Niagara Falls, then to Buf·
falo, where they made an unannounced
visit to the Larkin Building, which
Wright had designed.
That structure, torn down in 1950,
was another unique Wright building
whose innovations are remembered and
demolition is lamented. It was
" monumental and imposing," Tafel
remembered, "a total integration of
form and function, of location,
materials and furnishings. "
In its design, Wright had departed
from the traditional and moved the
stairs and other service areas from the
core of the structure to its four comers,
freeing the center for a large open court
rising five stories, surrounded by open
galleries on each of the main floors. A
skylight lit the central space.
Technically, it was the ftrSt air·
conditioned and one of the ftrSt fireproofed buildings, Tafel noted. Wright
also designed for it the very first steel
office furniture.
Tafel describes in his book Wright's
real pride and joy on that particular visit
in !936:

More than the main bouse
The original complex, constructed in
1904-1906, included not only the main
house but also a 180-foot-!ong pergola
leading from the front entrance hall to a
separate greenhouse, a garage, gard~]-er's
cottage and the adjoining George F.
Barton House at 118 Summit Avenue,
built for Manin's sister and her family .
The cost for the whole project was
$300,000, a monumental sum in those
days.
During his lecture, Tafel enjoyedbuilding up to the showings of various
Wright houses by depicting slides of
other houses which existed at the times
of their construction in their particular
neighborhoods. Wright's distinctive
designs always stood apart from the
nineteenth..century Victorian, colonial,
English half-timber and gothic styles.
Today, a walk down Jewett can still
bring home the point.
Wright's "Prairie style" captured the
qualities of his "organic alchitecture:"

from concerned people.
Martin Meyerson persuaded SUNY to
buy the house as a home for the U/B
president in 1966 and it was bought for
$60,000. At that time, the State Univer·
sity Construction Fund contacted Tafel
and requested him to renovate and update it. He installed a modern kitchen
and made a few other changes.
Too importaat to live ia
When Robert Ketter· took over as U/ B
President in !970, the Ketters looked at
the house, Mrs. Ketter remembers.
"I'm from Illinois, and so I had beard
about Frank Lloyd Wright, the great
Midwest architect, since the time I was a
small child," she related. "My family
had traveled quite a bit in tbe Chicago
area, and 1 saw his Dana House when I
was small."
She added, "He was accepted by my
family without comment. 1 was never
told he did things that were considered
bad at the time. "
Asked if Wright' s architectural style
spoke to her "roou," Mrs. Ketter
replied, "1 came from the prairie, and
while this house doesn't remind me of
the 'wide..open spaces' that some people say bis Prairie Houses do, it does say
something special to me. I think a
Prairie House can be anywhere. But I
always fdt this house is too important to
have a family living in it. It is important
to have it available for public use."
So the Ketters moved dsewbere and
the bouse was used for University offices
and functions.
The bope. now is to establisb a
CanAdian-AmeriCan Center there, using
tl)e bouse for small classes, lectures,
special coll&lt;!'lions~ living quarters for a .
visitina professo( and a meeting place.
Tbe first event, a CaDadian poetry
festival, is scheduled for October.
_
Tafd, too, feels it is importaDt that
the house be associated with a public institution that wiU can: for it and make it
available to the public. "Tbis boule is

GE committee is
reworking theme idea
__/'

The General Education (GE) Committee
is exploring a reworking of the .. theme"
requirement for the GE Program .
According to Chairman Peter Hare,
faculty are having difficulty understanding the general concept of the theme
component and, perhaps because of it,
have offered a disappointingly small
number of theme course proposals to the
committee.
Instead of adding to the current tist of
themes or asking faculty to propose
more theme courses, Hare said it was
sugsested that the Committee "set up
criteria" and then examine current and
new courses to determine if they meet
the criteria.
Some criteria for theme courses have
already been spelled out by the Committee in past repons. For instance, onere-·
quirement is that courses must .. address
an issue or problem of pressing concern,
which by its character, has had and will
have continuing significance.' '
Working with criteria will preserve the
integrity and educational rat ionale of
the theme component, explained Hare,
while allowing the Committee to abandon a set list of topics.
Currently approved themes are:
Ethics; Order and Disorder; Stigma;
Human Nature and the Transcendent;
How Living Systems Develop, and the
Evolution and Current and Future Impact of Scientific Thought , Method and
Technology.
Ethics was the mosl popular theme
area with II course proposals, but

Human Nature and the Transcendem ,
and Scientific Thought, etc. didn ' t draw
any. The other three received a total of
nine course proposals.
· Under Senate approved GE re quirements, students completing the
standard GE program mu st take three
theme related courses contained within
the distribution of Knowledge Area
courses.
Committee members Michael Metzger
and Duwayne Anderson are preparing a
draft proposal on the change for Tuesday's GE Committee meeting.
If the proposal is approved , it mu st
then go to I he Facuhy Senate fo r a fi nal

Tuition·Free Courses
Full or part- tim e facult y and pro fessional staff int erested in taking tuition-free
courses mu st go through exceptional registration September 15 or 16.
Appl icat io ns for the Experimental Employee Course Registration Program
(Tuition Free) o ffered under the State/ UUP cont ract, can be picked up at the
Beane Center, Amh erst Campus.
Those applyi ng sho uld first make sure their app li catio n is verified (for
eligibilit y) by Personnel. The appl icant mu st then ha nd-ca rry the application
to the academ ic department offering the course. The department should sign
_
the form and mail it to Student Acco unts.
When force-regi stering facult y or staff, academ ic depa rtment s must use the
old exceptional registration form s. The newer form s don't register as well in
·
·
the computer.
If the applicant is not a continuing student, admission into th e SUN Y
system must be secured . This can be done by filling out a da1a form ava ilable
at several campus locations. Call A&amp;R for the information zb t the
locations.
PerSonnel also warns that applicants who have already regi ster
for th e
course through A&amp;R must drop it before the exceptional registrati on process is
started . The reason is that tuition-free program participants can not be
counted as FTE's.
Deadline for tuition waiver applications for full·time facult y and professional staff is September 30. Unlike tuition-free courses, panial payment is
necessary but registration is guaranteed and not subject to available space
·
limitations.
Employees represented by CSEA and security personnel have until October
1 to apply for tuition support for fall courses. CSEA and securn y personnel
are given up to a total of 5300 a year in tuition money.
Personnel has received no information as yet on educational benefits of

C:rystallization, involved in such diverse

&gt;rocesses as kidney stone and tooth fornation and the build-up of scale in inlustrial pipes, is the focus of several
'undamental studies directed by Dr.
Jeorge Nancollas of the U/ B faculty.
The National Science Foundation
ecently awarded Dr. Nancollas a three'eal', $332,000 grant to co-nduct a

While the research group is investigating the application_ of the ne~­
tecti.nique for possible use m large-scal_e

industrial crystallization processes, H
has already proved helpful in determining the composition of the phases_ in-

volved in bone and tooth formauo.n,
another major area of his research, Dr.
Nancollas said.
' ' We have two grants from the
National Institutes of Health to do fundamental research into the formation of
teeth and kidney stones," he noted .
Crystallization is related to the search
for energy sources, also. The Depart·
ment of Energy is sponsoring research at
U/ B that looks at the mechanism of
mineral scale formation at very high
temperatures.
"One of the big problems in utilizing
geothermal energy is that the liquid in
the well is extemely concentrated," Dr.
Nancollas explained. " When the
minerals in the heated water precipitate,
tremendous problems can occur with
build-up of minerals in the pipes."
The Petroleum Research Fund is
sponsoring related research which is in·
vestigating mineral scale problems in the
production of oil.

"OOperative research project on the
rystaUization and dissolution &lt;1f
1louride and phosphate salts in conjunc-

ion with the Manin Marrietta

"This project will investigate fundmental aspects of the crystal growth of
;'lese two very important classes of com' ounds," Nancollas explained.
"They are of interest because they are
....oth widely used,,. he continued.
•Fiourides are utilized in the flourida' on of water, and phosphates - which
ve been banned in many communities
. - find an important place in fertilizers
od detergents.
.. One of the ways

of removing

··bosphates in water is to precipitate
, &gt;em out as crystals," he added.

, secondary aim of this study, Dr.
:-fancoUas stated, is to investigate the
, otential application of a new technique
i e developed for measuring ra1es of

rystal growth.
" Our Constant Compositi!'n Method,
· ;hich we developed here about 18
· tanths ago, is aimed at automaticall y
. #plenishing ions as crystallization takes
-lace so we can measure the rates of
~.-ystallization with great precision," he
, &lt;R!ained·. "It has been extremely
\. aluable in furthering our understanding

NATO

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
( NATO) is sponsoring cooperative
rdearch efforts in fundamental crystal
growth st udies between Nancollas and
the University of Copenhagen .
On the U/ B facult y since 1965,
Nancollas has published more than 190
papers. In 1977, he was award ed the
Jacob F. Schoellkopf Medal for his
research and for applying thi s

FM 88's jazz shows
U I B program
bring up-tempo ratings find$
a fulfilling challenge
The most recent Arbitron ratings reveai
that WBFO's afternoon jazz program
has more than twice as many listeners as
any other jazz show in Buffalo.
John Hunt, host of the 2·5 p.m. jazz
offering and director of WBFO's jazz
programming, comments, "The ratings
show very clearly that our jau audience
is" the station's largest audience for any
program.

Arbitron's April/ May survey, the
most recent to be released, also revealed
that the audience for the three-hour
afternoon jazz show grows hourly.
"We have a large jump in Listeners at
2, when the audience is about one-and -ahalf times as large as that of the other
jazz programs," Hunt said . "By 3, th e
audience is twice as large as that for an y
jazz program in any time slot. "
.
Hunt added that WBFO's " FM 88
Jau Concert" of live music o n Saturday
nights scored 10 to IS points higher in
ratings than anj}Lher jazz program in the
same time slot .
Hunt said that, while he had expected
the r. ings to show that the audience for
jazz had increased. "I had no idea they

would be that good. "
He added that he feels the increase in
listeners is attributable to WBFO's re·
cCnt power increase, which widened its
listening area; its awareness cam"p:iign,
which involved an intensive ad vertisi ng
effort , and the shifting of th e jazz program to earlier hours in the day.
"I was waiting for jazz to do it ,"
Hunt added .
Hunt, who started at WBFO in 1975,
has been doing his jazz program since
1978. He is in charge of the stati on' s
Jazz Archives, an effort wh ich includes
nm onl y collecting jazz recordings and
taping well·known artists bu t also ac·
Li vely going out int o the co mmun ity to
seck and record little· known musicians.
He points out that his group was the
first to ta pe a then little·known local
ba nd named Spyro Gyra about four
years ago , and th at WBFO is the onl y
local station to reall y "take a chan ce a nd
believe in local musicians."
Commercial stations are a closed
mar ket fo r most jazz art ists, Hunt said,
a nd so it is "incum bent fo r public sta·
tions to provide an outlet fo r them. " C

With less than two years to go before his
retirement from the ew York State
Police, 42-year-old Sergea nt .Robert J .
Szymanski is abo ut to receive his
masters degree in socia l scie nces from
U/ B.
Enrolled officially as a pa rH ime stu dent in the Interd isciplinary Masters

Sergeant Szymanski completed his pro·
gram in only three years.
P rior to his graduate work he studied
as a pa rt- ti me student in Milla rd
Fillmore where he received his B.A . in
sociology in 1977 .
A self·confessed over·achiever, Mr .
Szymanski doubled up on his course
work and someti mes took as man y as 25
credits per semester on top of working
full·time. This enabled this parHimer to
complete his undergraduate work in
only fo ur years.

challenging, self-fulfilling endeavor, he
acknowledges that his interest in school
began with some rather straightforward
police courses as pan of the Traffic
Science Program at SUNY I Albany. The
program netted him college credit for
four courses, and when he found that
the State Police was trying to arrange an
additional 28 ·credits for on-the-job ex·
perience, he decided to make his record
complete by enrolling in MFC in 1974.
The force continued to " dangle the car·
rot" of those hoped·for credits, but
their plan for accreditation with the
State eventually fell through. In the
meantime, Sergeant Szymanski was pro·
gressing at such a rapid rate he didn ' t
need those life experience credits.
He enrolled in the Graduate School
here immediately after the compler:ion of
his B.A. "I didn ' t stop. I figured I had a
working relationship with my professors
and decided to continue." The sergeant
found graduate work easier than
undergraduate study. Instead of taking
surface level courses aboul everything
under the sun, he enjoyed the deeper
learning involved in concentrated
graduate study. His masters thesis, en·
titled "Alcoholism As A Problem In
Our Society," includes a study of the
phannacological effects of alcohol con·
sumption; a comparative study of
alcohol use in Europe and America; the
problems of alcohol use and abuse in
American society; and the law enforcement agency's response to the alcoholaffected offender as mandated by cur·
rent law in New York State.

SUNY's Blinken underwrites
fellowships for academic managers
Chancellor Ctifton R. Wharton has
announced a new program of academic
administrative fellowships for State
University faculty made possible by a
personal gift from Mr. Donald M.
Btinken, chairman of the SUNY Board.
The experimenl61 fellowships will sup·
port faculty members who exhibit exceptional promise as future campus or
system-wide administrators.
The feUows wiU be given release time
from their duties at their home campuses, in the same manner as sabbatical
leaves, and wiU undertake a period of
full-time involvement within the SUNY
Central Administration.
The award wiU be considered " a high
University honor," Wharton said, and
wiU not count against eligibility for sab·
baticals. The fellows' salaries are to be
maintained by their home campuses,
and in addition, they will receive funds

from non-campus sources, according to
the following schedules:
A . Semester awards: fu~l salary plus
$4,000 for personal expen
for reloca·
tion and travel; and s· ,()(X) for ad·
ministrative costs.
B. Academic year awards: half salary
plus $8,000 for personal expenses; and
S2,()(X) for administrative costs.
During 1980-81 two semester :towards
will be made for the six months beginning January 1981. Applications deadline
is October 30.
Each application should be accom·
panied by a proposal for a study of a
particular problem in the administrati&lt;?n
• of the State University system. Wh1le
applications are to be forwarded to the
Office of the Chancellor, none will be
considered unless accompanied by the

left behind so she went to school. " Indeed, Mrs. Szymanski is a Dean's List
student in the School of Managemen t
here and is less than 12 credits away
from her B.A.
H• pushed tbem toward tbe big guy
His academic acti vities have sparked the
interest of at least three other officers
and he proudly admits that he " pushed
them toward the big guy, U/ B." His
pride and confidenCe in his program
here prompted him to post brochures
about the program at his station house.
He feels it is important for officers to
break away from the insulated clique of
the police world and that the academic
atmosphere of the University provides
the necessary outlet. Equally important,
the sergeant points out, is to .provide the
community a chance to acquaint
themselves with the officers, to see them
as real people.
Sergeant Szymanski admits that after
a point the job of an offieer becomes
tedious, boring. "I'm still looking for
something - a challenge." Although
hesitant to say if he will go on for
another degree, he does sense a surge of
self-fulfillment when he realizes his accomplishments, and then adds, "I'll
probably take some more classes so I
won ' t go stale - prevent brain rot.' '
More than anything else, Robert
·Szymanski buoyantly proclaims tbat he
.. wanted to show my mother I could do
it. She wanted me to go to school in
1962, but I just wasn ' tready then." 0

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