STATE UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO VOL 1 • NO. 18 MAY 21,1970

State Asks Bids on $3-Million Lake for Amherst The State University Con-

struction Fund (SUCF) is ask-ing bids on a contract estimated at $3 million covering Phase I of the development of a campus lake project at the U / B Am-herst campus, Governor Rocke-feller is scheduled to announce today. Completion of the Phase I contract is scheduled for No-vember, 1971; but work on fill piles, as specified, is to be com-pleted by December 1, 1970.

Sasaki, Dawson, DeMay As-sociates, Inc., are the landscape architects. This contract covers development of the North Lake and approximately half of the South Lake, lying in the north-e m portion of the Amherst campus. The location and al-location of land have been de-veloped as part of the Compre-hensive Site Plan for Amherst, in which the concept of lake development stemmed from the need for fill for facilities de-signed for future construction. The existence of an ample na-tural water supply made the olan feasible, the Construction Fund says.

The surface area of the lake, when completed, will be ap-proximately 60 acres with over 10,000 feet of shore line. Bound-ing it on the north will be the a n t i c i p a t e d Urban Develop-ment Corporation development and Loop Roadways; to the west will be collegiate com-plexes, while the Faculty of Arts aj«d Letters and the Cul-tural Center are to the south. The Loop Roadways will bound it on the east. Implementation of the project has required pre-liminary exploration programs regarding soil, water, and rock conditions.

Sealed bids will be received at the Albany offices of the SUCF until 2:00 p.m. EDST, June 2, 1970, at which time they will be publicly opened.

The capital construction pro-gram being carried out at the Amherst campus is part of the State University's multi-billion dollar p h y s i c a l development program. Directed by Dr. An-thony G. Adinolfi, general man-ager, the SUCF is a public benefit corporation established in 1962 by the Legislature upon the recommendation of Gov-ernor Rockefeller to expedite the construction of facilities to m e e t the S t a t e University's Master Plan requirements.

Frosh Makeup Is Changing Report Says

The first in the sixth series of census reports, collectively entitled Freshman Class Status Report, has been issued by the Office of University Research.

The current study on "The Composition of the Freshman Class, 1969-70" provides com-parisons with the two preceding classes and the first class studied (1964). . ,

Data are based on 2006 fresh-men in the 1969 class, 2624 in 1968, 2175 in 1967, and 2665 in 1964 who registered as full-time day students in the fall of their respective entering years.

Major findings include: 1. In 1969, <cr UVJ first time,

the percentage of females en-rolled in the freshman class (51 per cent) exceeded that of males. Last year only 45 per cent were female; and in 1964, 42 per cent The total number of freshmen registered in 1969 represented a new low for the five-year period.

2. In 1969, the trend toward an increasing proportion of freshmen residing in residence halls and a decreasing propor-tion living at home and classi-fied as commuters was reversed. This year 47 per cent of fresh-men lived in residence halls; the figure for 1968 was 51 per cent

OBLIGATIONS CITED Acting President Peter F. Regan received the following telegram from SUNY Chancellor Sainoal B. Gould, May 12, 19/0: "It is the policy of State University to re-main open. Faculty members are responsible for meeting their edu-cational obligations to the stu-dents. This statement should be communicated in an appropriate way to your faculty."

3. A noticeably greater per-centage of current freshmen (23 per cent) than previous freshmen (10-13 per cent) de-layed enrollment in SUNYAB a year or more after high school graduation.

4. Bennett and East high schools accounted for 45 per cent of the 1969 City graduates who entered SUNYAB as fresh-men, with the proportion of Buffalo enrollees from East in-creasing from 8 per cent in 1967 to 19 per cent.

5. In 1969 a trend toward a decreasing proportion of fresh-men from Erie County high schools was reversed while the trend for an increasing propor-tion from the New York Metro-politan Area high schools con-tinued. Six per cent more fresh-men (46 per cent) came from high schools in the Buffalo Area in 1969 than in 1968 and there were 2 per cent more en-rollees from the high schools in the New York Metropolitan Area (35 per cent).

6. There was a noticeable in-crease from 1967 to 1969 (30 per cent to 46 per cent) in the proportion of Erie County high school graduates who were from Buffalo public high schools. A compensatory de-crease (56 per cent to 33 per cent) was observed in the pro-portion from Erie County high schools outside Buffalo.

7. Almost 90 per cent of the 1969 freshmen, compared with 79 per cent in 1964, resided in either the Buffalo Area or the New York Metropolitan Area.

8. The proportion of 1969 freshmen who were residents of the Buffalo Area (51 per cent) far exceeded the percentage of the total N.Y. State population (9 per cent) which the area comprises. Although the New York Metropolitan Area com-prises almost 64 per cent of the State's population, only 38 per cent of the 1969 Class resided in that area.

Regan Asks Birdshot Probe, Officials Doubt It Happened

Acting President Peter F. Regan's request to the Buffalo Police Commissioner for a 'full and professional investigation" of the reported use of shotguns during disturbances on campus, Thursday night. May 7, has resulted in dismissal and/or discrediting of the reports by several spokesmen.

In a May 13 letter to Com-missioner Frank N. Felice tta, Regan said that after receiving initial reports on the subject on the night of May 7, he was in-formed by Deputy Commis-sioner Blair that shotguns were not being employed and that shotgun ammunition had not been issued to the City Police. However, Dr. Regan points out that the statements collected by University Advocate Robert B. Fleming "state almost without exception that either birdshot or buckshot was employed by the City of Buffalo Police that night" According to Advocate Fleming, 36 such signed state-ments have been collected thus far.

"In addition, Dr. LeRoy A. Pesch, dean of the School of Medicine and director of Uni-versity Hospitals, has been in-formed that patients were actu-ally treated at the University Health Service and at the Mey-er Memorial Hospital for in-juries resulting from shotgun pellets," Dr. Regan said.

He continued, "in view of the seriousness of this matter, the need for a full and professional investigation is clearly evident, and I would request that you examine these events as rapidly as possible. The University stands ready to assist you in this investigation in every way. If shotguns were employed, whether by private individuals, police of another jurisdiction, or by City Police, then these facts should be made known to the general public."

Felicetta responded by say-ing he would "review reports" of the incidents but that prior "thorough study" of Police ac-tivity did not even "suggest" that such a thing had occurred.

Another reaction to the Re-gan statement came from Com-mon Council Minority Leader William A. Buyers who sug-gested that the acting president and the University should spend more time finding which students threw bricks and rocks at "innocent" Police and civil-ians and which ones tore down the flag at S t Joseph's School.

Mr. Buyers who indicated he hadn't missed any of the dem-onstrations said "at no time did I see any Policeman with a shotgun loaded with buckshot"

He suggested that students might have had shotguns.

Meanwhile the Courier-Ex-press "cast doubt" on the shoot-ings, in its words. Dr. Paul F. Hoffman, director of the Uni-versity Health Service who "personally" treated two stu-dents of the nine who reported gunshot wounds, was quoted as

No More Incentive Awards For Teaching Assistants

Students appointed to teach-ing assistantships or Graduate School fellowships which pro-vide tuition waivers will be in-eligible for Scholar Incentive Awards, effective July 1.

According to Dr. Andrew W. Holt assistant d e a n of the Graduate School, the change in policy results from new "Guide-lines on Tuition Remission," issued by the State Education Department

Partial text of the new guide-lines follows:

"By law, scholar incentive assistance is limited by the ac-tual amount of tuition payable by the student. This program is designed solely to help stu-dents meet the tuition costs that might otherwise constitute a financial barrier to college study. If the tuition charge pay-

5. The plan is now out of date. No monies are guaran-teed to implement even the desirable aspects of the plan immediately. While it was in-tended to be retroactive, it will not be effective until 1971.

6. It ignores the crucial fact that the unclassified profession-al staff has not k e p t pace economically with either the faculty or the classified staff, especially during the past four years. (Some persons who pre-viously moved into the unclass-ified staff from the classified service have suffered economic reversals.)

law provides that the student shall receive no scholar incen-tive assistance. There is no provision for payment of schol-ar incentive assistance for main-tenance costs, for educational fees, or for any other purpose, no matter how defensible, if the student does not face a bona-fide tuition charge of at least $100 a semester.

Flowering Crab Apple Is Star of Springtime on Campus queness of bloom, and habit of growth were worked into the planting pro-gram.

Through the years, new buildings were landscaped when they were com-pleted and trees planted to replace dead ones, or in areas where neces-sary. In the selection of any tree, shrub or evergreen, there are many different factors one should consider before planting. Some of the main features would be hardiness, ultimate size, blossom, fruit, leaf size, shape and texture and winter appearance. All of the above have to be considered before the judicious planting of any material on campus.

While all plant materials are grow-ing they have to be cared for — trim-ming, feeding, fungus and insect spray-ing, and maintenance in general, all apply to good grooming and health.

Tbere are some trees and shrubs thai don't do well for us here on the campus because of winter conditions, winds and heavy alkaline soils. Con-sequently, we have incorporated those varieties that do well with the least amount of maintenance. We have, a t the present time, at least 48 species of trees on campus. A few of these would be: Japanese Maple, Hornbeam, Hop-hornbeam, Katsura, Redbud, Rivers Beech, Ginkgo, Butternut, Goldenrain, Goldenchain, Amurcork Tree, Tulip, Little-leaf Linden, European Larch, and Japanese Zelkova.

During the coming spring and sum-mer, take time for a closer look at the trees on our campus and enjoy the fruits of people who have labored for you in the past.

Miss Emily Webster, assistant vice president for business affairs, who was a student here when the only land-scaping was a cabbage patch and who remembers helping Mr. Crofts place his evergreens in the 1930's, offered this further historical information:

T 1r. Edward Michael was a member of the Council of The University of Buffalo from 1906-1947. In addition to being the moving force behind the acquisition of the University property from the County in 1909, he became in 1920 the first chairman of the Com-mittee on Buildings and Grounds, and was responsible for all construction and remodeling that took place on the campus from 1920 until his retirement in 1947. It was his imagination which foresaw the ornamental setting for the beautiful Albright balustrade which adorns the q u a d r a n g l e in front of Lockwood Memorial Library.

When the University took over the p r e m i s e s f r o m t h e C o u n t y , t h e grounds were largely farmland, potato and corn fields. A c a b b a g e p a t c h stretched across the Main Street front-age, a pig pen, livestock barns and other out-buildings were situated to the rear of the rambling almshouse and hospital.

M r . G e o r g e D . C r o f t s who w a s comptroller and treasurer of the Uni-versity from 1921 to 1951 was largely responsible for converting that rough farmland into a campus of beautifully landscaped l a w n s a n d walks. With limited funds at his disposal, he cre-ated with the help of a supervisor and day laborer, approximately 100 acres of lawn. He could afford to do only a piece at a time, 25-30 acres a year over a five-to-ten-year period. Many of the shade trees on the almshouse prop-erty were beautiful enough to be left untouched in their natural setting.

To these, he added other flowering plants and shrubs — a row of forsythia bordering the adjacent church prop-erty, lilacs, peonies and iris tieds to surround the newly constructed Foster Hall. The 8,000 evergreen seedlings which he contributed were acquired from the New York State Conserva-tion Commission. The eight elms (one of which has died) in front of Harri-man Library were also his personal g i f t

With the Flowering Crab Apples in bloom and the campus rapidly losing the final vestiges of its fall-winter Buf-falo grey, the Reporter asked Univer-sity horticulturist Richard A. Sebian to tell us something about the Univer-sity landscape, its history, and his role in maintaining and improving it.

This is his report: By RICHARD A. SEBIAN

Horticulturist Most people have to become home-

owners before they really appreciate the flora around them. Grass, shrubs, bushes and trees have always been a part of the scenery and are usually taken for granted. Their esthetic value

is easily accepted but if their condi-tion deteriorates, then many people become aware of the inconvenience they offer.

Paths or ruts across lawn areas turn to mud during time of rain; broken branches or off-colored shrubs are dis-pleasing to the eye and dead or broken branches on larger trees are consid-ered dangerous.

Shade trees are planted to b« en-joyed at their best by the following generations. We, here at the Univer-sity, can be appreciative because sec-tions of our campus were well planted by our predecessors.

Mr. E d w a r d M i c h a e l , long-time chairman of Buildings and Grounds, in the first decade of this century, was responsible for acquiring the cam-pus from Erie County.

Mr. George D. Crofts (comptroller) in 1936 donated 8,000 evergreens to the University. These were, for the most part, set out in a nursery behind the houses on Wins pear and the pres-ent Engineering Parking Lot. Many of these have been transplanted around the campus and some are still in evi-dence. Of course, expansion of our campus and tree diseases — mainly Dutch Elm—have cut deeply into our shade and evergreen tree population.

Dr. Claude Puffer, vice president for business affairs, and a committee of two others, (in the 1950's) felt a new position should be created and should carry a prerequisite of a B.S. in horticulture and two to three years practiced experience. H a v i n g b e e n graduated from Ohio State in 1950, and having worked several years in nursery-oriented positions, I was se-lected from a field of candidates. In the initiation of a new department, I had to start out slowly. But over the following 17 years, the department has been built into a 22-man crew. We maintain not only the 176 acres on this campus and the Ridge Lea cam-pus, but also 33 parcels of property the State either owns or rents.

I was very fortunate to have the ca-pable services of Mrs. Frances Kratz, a landscape architect, to help in all of our design problems the first eight years. One of the first programs ini-tiated on the campus was that fi-nanced by the 8th Federated District of Women's Garden Clubs. The plant-ing of three hundred (300) Flowering Crab Apples was started and contin-ued until 19 varieties were incorpo-rated up to that number. Many of these are developing into medium-sized plants and in May, each year, the color display of blossoms is en-joyed by thousands on our campus. The varieties Hopa and Red Crimson are two well-known and perhaps the most showy ones on campus. Some of the other varieties are: Arnold, Car-mine, Floribunda, Tea, Eleyi, Midget, Sargent, Cut-Leaf, Beauty, and Red Vein. Like roses, the varieties of Crab Apples are so numerous, it is difficult to keep track of all of them. Conse-quently, only the ones that offered the best in flower color, suitable size, uni-

Student Is Ashamed Of Serving on Ketter Group

Campus Offers Lesson for the Nation T By JAMES F. BYERS

MFC Mudanl maoibar ol the Temporary Heermf Commiieion

on Campua Dhrupthna As a member of a commis-

sion that has been replaced as the legal tribunal for the ad-ministration, I would like to tnlr« this opportunity to ex-press a few thoughts.

I would like to apologize to my fellow students for my pres-ence on such a commission. Although I had received a few requests to remove myself from the commission, I did not. Not because of an ego trip, nor be-cause as was stated earlier, I was one of "Regan's niggers" — but more because I felt that by serving on the commission I could offer a student's opin-ion. I felt that through a united effort (students, faculty and staff) we could deal with a rela-tively large problem. I felt that "sticking your h e a d into t h e sand" about the validity and/or right of the commission would not make it go away. I further felt that u n l e s s a student's opinion were represented, the commission would become the proverbial witchhunt that it was called. Much to my disappoint-m e n t , my goa l s were n o t reached.

Originally the commission, I believe, was instituted to fill a void. A void brought by the controversy over the existence of a student court. This is the focal point, I feel, of the con-troversy. For it is here that the faculty and staff enter as judi-cial members. But this is a matter better left to the mem-bers of the student court and the Ketter Commission to de-bate.

I wish to discuss some of the more immediate issues. Let me again state that I do believe that the commission originally tried to insure due process. But a number of problems arose.

The "Joint S t a t e m e n t on Rights and Freedoms of Stu-dents," as published in the Col lege Law Bulletin, Vol. 2, No. 6, February, 1970, and circu-lated by the Advocate's Office states:

. . each college and uni-versity has a duty to develop policies and procedures which provide and safeguard (this) freedom. Such policies and pro-cedures should be developed at each i n s t i t u t i o n within the framework of general standards and with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic community."

And further: "Disciplinary p r o c e e d i n g s

should be instituted only for violations of standards of con-duct formulated with significant student participation and pub-lished in advance through such means as a student handbook

I would like to point out that the only regulation that the stu-dents were aware of was "2.10 — picketing and demonstra-tion." Although the "Rules and Regulations" were handed out

at registration, there was no student participation in their f o r m u l a t i o n . Although this more basic point was over-looked, one might feel this justifiable for "law and order' — but I would ask my fellow students, hasn't this been the pattern?

Additional questionable items would include: How the non-adversary type of hearing com-mission, originally conceived, gave rise to an adversary type of court (The mere fact of its

adversary nature, points out its lack of objectivity.); how the legal officer, who originally was to be a parliamentarian, be-came a judge, passing on what was to be presented as evi-dence; how the Advocate's Of-fice was originally not to act as prosecutor, but later became a very viable force doing just that —prosecuting.

But rather than these items, it has been the anecdotal com-ments of the members of the commission that have forced me to reconsider my position. To the question of whether there was a way to decrease the con-frontations on c a m p u s , this reply was given: "No, Jim, there will be a showdown here on the grounds, if it has to come." The question of whether an individual was a revolution-ary lender or just a follower received this reply: "Well, hell, we know the e people are the same ones in every demonstra-tion, so why worry whether he's a leader or not."

As a result of these and many other incidents, I feel ashamed to have served on such a com-mission, and would recommend that no other student serve in a comparable position — for even in its creation, there is injustice: "The president shall appoint five faculty members to the c o m m i s s i o n , who, in turn, will appoint the student representation."

ZIMMERMAN ASKS ACTION The Buffalo community must as-sert itself against both "unfit in-tellectuals" who indoctr inate rather than teach and lawbreaking revolutionary students at U/B, Marvin Zimmerman, associate pro-fessor of philosophy, told an Alumni Women's Day gathering this week. A strong president is an urgent need. Zimmerman said, adding that "the greatest tragedy that hit the University was the president who joined us three years ago." He said it was police who had restored academic free-dom to the campus this spring.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Herbert S. Levine, visiting assistant professor of history, and one of the Hayes 45, writing in The Nation, May 4. 1970, under the title, "Dissent or Anarchy: Common Front at Buffalo," speaks of the campus situation earlier this spring as one "which must excite the im-agination of anyone concerned with preserving meaningful dis-sent in a period of increasing anarchy and repression." We pick up his article as he concludes a summary of events from the night of February 24 to Wednesday, March II, when the Faculty Sen-ate called for the immediate re-moval of police from campus.

By HERBERT S. LEVINE Vititini Atmilent Proltuor ol Hillary

With the police on campus, further violence was inevitable, and general rioting broke out on March 12. So long as stu-dent groups p e r s i s t e d in a policy of violent confrontation, and persisted as well in lump-ing faculty together with ad-ministration, there was no real chance for a common academic front. But on March 13, after the sobering lessons of the pre-ceding night's rioting had been absorbed, the word went out from the strike meeting to "cool it!" And they did. Rock throw-ing, police baiting and occa-sional bomb planting gave way to sound political planning and long-term strategy. The admin-istration's summary arrest on March 15 of 45 faculty mem-bers, who were holding a peace-ful and nondisruptive meeting in police-occupied Hayes Hall, completed the picture. The fac-ulty had been directly attacked, and all n o t i o n s of academic freedom had been violated. The Faculty Senate rejected a mo-tion of confidence in the ad-ministration, and met one of the original strike d e m a n d s halfway by voting an end to new admissions in the ROTC program. Mutual faculty-stu-dent mistrust did not disappear but, so far as was possible, the University community u n i t e d against the cries for retaliation coming from public authorities, civic groups and the local press. The administration, by press-ing for maximum legal prosecu-tion of the arrested faculty, while at the same time denying that it was doing so, completely discredited itself. Bail and de-fense money poured in for ar-rested f a c u l t y and students. The enemy was exposed, a line was drawn, and a front was formed. A Lesson for the Nation

Events in Buffalo were pure-ly local, and their effect was possibly temporary. The police were removed from campus on March 26, during the spring vacation, and the strike is vir-tually over. The University will perhaps return to its normal situation of fraternal warfare, which seems to be the very sub-stance of education today. But the court trials of students and faculty will drag on, and the citizens of Buffalo will demand vengeance. The administration and the public authorities may be counted on to provide new reasons for academic unity in the f a c e of repression. The strike committee continues to exist, and it and faculty groups are planning for a long political struggle. The moment of soli-darity will not be forgotten in Buffalo. For the nation as a whole, there is a lesson to be learned.

The history of radical dis-sent tends to be cyclical, and an analogy with the situation of the 1930s is relevant Faced with tiie threat of Fascism, the Left, particularly in Europe, split into two groups, corre-sponding roughly to Commu-n i s t s and non-Communists. These groups l a b e l e d each other "Fascists of the Left" and "Social Fascists." The la-

bels were crippling, for no fight against Fascism could be suc-cessful which failed to distin-guish between genuine Fas-cists and Fascists by discour-tesy. Only when it was too late the common danger was real-ized, and the bitter slogans of partisan w a r f a r e were ex-changed for "Popular Front! No Enemies on the Left!" The reconciliation was not only be-lated; it was insincere in both camps.

Liberals and r a d i c a l s in America today are still at the stage of mutual name calling. Liberals fail to distinguish be-t w e e n "extremists on both sides," and radicals lump all those who disagree with their methods into one "Fascist pig" Establishment. T h e moment for a Popular Front has not yet arrived, but such a front was formed on the Buffalo campus. The very conditions of struggle improved the c h a n c e s for a common front, as liberals were radicalized, and r a d i c a l s abandoned nihilistic confron-tation for political c o m m o n :«nse. The Enemy is Old and Familiar

Elsewhere, matteis are not so simple. Liberal inhabitants of Lindsay's New York are undeistandably more concerned with radical bombers than with the possibility of political re-pression. But the enemy has al-ready revealed himself nation-ally, at the trial in Chicago, and in the statements of high public figures. The enemy is an old and familiar one, in a slightly altered guise: the Fas-cist. There are those who reject the use of the term, which is so bound up with a specific de-funct historical situation. This rejection is mistaken. Fascism is as much alive today as social-ism. and this becomes clear if we take the trc ble to examine the thrust of both ideologies.

Socialism, in the broadest sense, is the direction of poli-tical anger created by economic tensions at economic enemies. Fascism is the direction of this anger at irrelevant enemies. Socialism tends to destroy or radically alter the economic system which produces it; fas-cism, by misdirecting the anger, preserves the economic system while failing to solve its gen-uine problems. Both Fascist and Socialist r e s p o n s e s to economic difficulties are pos-sible, and have occurred, on both sides of the iron curtain.

The rcots of modern Amer-ican Fascism lie in the failure of modem capitalism to pro-vide general economic satisfac-tion. It is no accident that two of today's key political issues, pollution and inflation, are at their heart anti-capitalist, since they attack the free exercise of the profit motive. Nor is it any accident that angry Buffalo has notably failed to get its share of American prosperity, while suffering all the disadvantages of the American economic sys-tem. This situation has created in Buffalo, and is creating in the nation as a whole, a mass of pro to-Fascist political en-ergy which only awaits effec-tive leadership. E m o t i o n a l l y tied to a system which is itself creating their distress, enraged citizens search for an irrelevant enemy — black, effete. Red or longhaired. It is unnecessary to list the attempts that are being made to establish a suitable fo-cus for public hatred. Militant Radicals Are One Solution

The m i l i t a n t radicals may have provided one solution to the search. Certainly liberals are loud in their c o m p l a i n t s that the present move toward repression is being caused by expressions of radical dissent This is plainly not true, what-

ever one may think of the radi- . cals' tactics or sanity. The Fas- W\ 4 cist, in the long run, will always < find an excuse for behaving like a Fascist. The radicals have done nothing more than take some of the pressure off the blacks.

Whether they like it or not, and many of them in Buffalo do not like it, liberals and radi-cals have become involved in the same war, and on the same side. Neither group has entered the struggle in the proper frame of mind. The r a d i c a l s , who seem to h a v e t a k e n nothing from Marxism except a cheer-ful assumption that history is on their side, apparently be-lieve that they cannot lose. The liberals, hamstrung by devotion to misunderstood p r i n c i p l e s , believe that they cannot fight A fight is inevitable, and defeat is possible, if not probable.

A large section of faculty and students in Buffalo have real-ized that the time for a fussy choice of a l l i e s i n t h e fight a g a i n s t r e p r e s s i o n is pas t There is a common and mis-taken assumption that, because persecution is evil, tli06e who suffer under it are good. The persecuted take comfort in their own moral superiority and may even claim that suffering and defeat are themselves good, or that decent men are inevitably defeated. It would be well to remember the words of Bertolt Brecht, written after the Nazi triumph in G e r m a n y : "The good were defeated, not because they were good but b e c a u s e they were weak."

Tensions CAMPUS CRISIS: After a long, hard look at the causes and ef-fects of c a m p u s disruption, a special committee on campus ten-sions has pointed to a "deeper crisis" in higher education—one of confusion and doubt "about where we go from here." The colleges' main constituent groups and the general public cannot agree on the "proper direction of change," the committee declared in a report tKjs spring. Nor can the academic community expect to "solve all the problems," many with Kioto in the larger society, that contribute to campus unrest

One thing higher education can do. the committee stressed, is pro-vide f o r better communication among students, faculty members, administrators, and trustees. The survival of our system of higher education and its long-term con-tribution to society depend upon rationality and civility, shared concern, and mutual r e s p e c t

Although your privilege of attending college represents a c o n s i d e r a b l e i n v e s t m e n t of hard-earned dollars and sacri-fice on the part of many of you, and your parents, and of all the taxpayers in the State, your "concern for the evils of the day" is manifesting itself in un-reasonable and senseless waste of your own mental, emotional and physical strength as well as financial resources. Further-more, your actions are causing hardships to your fellowmen, regardless of your intentions.

Certain departments on this campus and practically every campus in this g r e a t n a t i o n have been dedicating their ef-forts for many years to improve your physical comforts while attending college, as well as to provide the most modern and

s inevitable, and defeat is possible, if not probable"

You are forgetting the main purpose of your attendance at college, which is to learn from the lessons of the past and in the light of new scientific dis-coveries, to communicate with your fellowmen more effective-ly for the good of all mankind. So far as your actions show, many of you right now are defi-nitely "flunking" your courses in logic, applied psychology, philosophy, p o l i t i c a l sciences and history.

Many of you have been lied to, misled and misdirected by " f a l s e p r o p h e t s " — leaders whose motivation is to destroy our universities and our entire American way of life. Many of the words a n d t a c t i c s being used by these so-called leaders are the same I was exposed to as a college student more than 30 years ago, but learned to evaluate and set aside as un-true and untenable. Our nation has come a long way since then in improving the lot of all our citizens, and it is incredible to see how the seeds of Commu-nist propaganda have brought such violent and destructive re-sults as we have witnessed in 1969-1970.

This writer has recently re-turned from almost four months touring among the peoples of Asia, India and Europe. We saw many modern metropolitan areas with high-rise buildings, overcrowded u r b a n conditions with ever-increasing traffic and pollution. We also made the effort to search for evidences of older ways of life, dating back several centuries. Although fa-vorably impressed with some technological evidences of prog-ress made to improve the lot of "the common man," we were convinceu more than ever of how fortunate we are to have been born and raised in the U n i t e d S t a t e s of A m e r i c a . Truly, it is wonderful to be back home! Troubled Times

In troubled times like these, we were very fortunate escap-ing all the man-made and na-tural catastrophes that occur-red along our itinerary, either just before or shortly after our various stops. Student and la-bor strike violence, bombings, avalanches, even an earthquake caused concern to our family and friends for our p e r s o n a l safety.

We do not know why the Good Lord spared us from all these disasters, unless it was to tell everyone back home that the U.S.A. is still the best place in the world to live and work and enjoy the freedoms we are granted. All of you out there who are s t i l l r e a d i n g t h i s ,

Committee Asks "Where Do We Go From Here?' among the members of the aca-demic community," it said—add-ing that "all must recognize their necessary interdependence."

While acknowledging that im-proved communication w a s no cure-all, the committee observed that "it usually results in sounder educational decisions and fosters governance by consensus rather than by force." It noted, more-over, that all four campus groups had cited inadequate communi-cation as a "major cause" of ten-sion.

For students, the committee urged a "more responsible role in the educational decisions af-fecting them," along with recog-nition of the "greater adult com-petence" of faculty members and the administration. For faculty members, it recommended a pol-icy of "compensating influences" to correct an overemphasis on research "at the expense of un-dergraduate teaching."

Administrators a r e properly held accountable for their actions, the committee said, but "especial-ly at the presidential level, re-sponsibility must be accompanied by the necessary authority." The effectiveness of college trustees, meanwhile, is measured "by the extent to which they are well-informed on educational issues, judicious in the exercise of their powers, and protective of the pre-rogatives of all members of the academic community."

The special committee was ap-pointed about a year ago by the American Council on Education, in part to show that higher edu-cation could solve its own prob-lems without punitive legislation. But even as the panel's report was being distributed around the country, serious student disorders flared once more, prompted in many cases by the U.S. policy in Southeast Ana. At about the same time, Vice-President Agnew

offered his o w n proposals for dealing with disruDtive students. "First/' he said, "the era of ap-peasement must come to an end." He advised colleges to enforce clear .Tiles for campus conduct, "with immediate expulsion the penalty for serious violations."

NATIONAL REPORTS IN BRIEF: Private gifts to col-leges u d universities increased 15 per cent last year, reaching a record high of tl-8-billion, ac-cording to a survey of more than 1,000 institutions. However, if one omits a single $40-million gift to one institution, alumni support rose only 2.6 per cent, compared with an average annual gain of more than 9 per cent in the pre-

vious decade . . . The investments of leading col-

leges a n d universities had an average yield of just over 4 per cent in 1969, up from 3.7 per cent in 1968, another survey has shown. The total principal of 70 institutions' endowment funds was found to have dropped by some $31-million, to $7.16-billion . . .

The concept of faculty tenure has come under fresh scrutiny. Several speakers at a national meeting charged recently that en-trenched faculty privilege was hurting higher education. One suggestion: review tenure periodi-cally to insure against abuses. The American Council on Education's committee on campus tensions asked for a reappraisal of tenure, which it said had oome to serve the function of guaranteeing job security "in the spirit of trade union systems" . . .

Officially ^Neglected,' Journalism Is Taught Informally Mmr 21, 1970

By LOUIS VILLANO ChU/ Copy Editor, NUtmtm O a M »

At Alice's Restaurant you can get anything you want. And so can you a t the State University at Buffalo—even to a smattering of journalism.

L a r g e s t of t h e State University's centers, . . . the Buffalo campus offers no organized journalism program. This is an amazing anachronism in view of the crucial role of communications in a society growing increasingly com-plex.

Nevertheless, on their own initiative, students have produced some courses in journalism outside the established curriculum. These are known as "bul-letin board" courses, taking their name from the fact that students desiring a program not in the curriculum invite others to join them in a particular

, course of study by posting a public notice on the campus. If enough stu-dents subscribe to the course and a teacher is obtained, a syllabus is sub-mitted to the University's Curriculum Committee, which approves the offer-ing and grants credit for it, if it is desired.

This is the way the University's Division of Undergraduate Studies de-scribes it:

"This is a special student-initiated program designed to allow students to initiate and participate in courses they would like to see offered. Students and/or faculty will have an opportun-ity to find other persons who are inter-ested in learning and organizing se-mester courses in subjects which are not presently being taught." Flrat Course: D'Amico's

The first bulletin board course in journalism was taught by M i c h a e l D'Amico, editor of the campus news-paper, The Spectrum, in 1967-68. I t offered an introductory look at the principles of newspapering. D'Amico, a law senior at U/B, taught his fourth class this semester, " P r i n c i p l e s of Journalism 211." This course, with an enrollment of 26, deals with the basic concepts of newspaper production and

- includes e x e r c i s e s in writing news stories, features, criticism and head-lines, plus layout and design.

Apart from the pragmatic aspects of journalism, the students discuss edi-torial policy, the'rights and responsi-bilities of the press and — in an area where D'Amico as a law student is particularly knowledgeable—the laws of defamation, libel and slander. «tho« — Brookmire

Another bulletin board course was initiated in the fall semester of 1969 by Paula Brookmire, supervising edi-tor of ethos, a weekly campus news-paper, and was taught by this writer. This course had an enrollment of near-ly 50 and covered elementary princi-ples of newspaper writing, copy edit-ing, headline writing and design and layout, in addition to classroom dis-cussions on the social role of the press.

For the 1970 spring semester, a new course was offered, "Journalism Work-shop 311," combining both classroom discussions and actual newsroom in-struction, with the idea that a news-room setting would make the work of the class more tangible.

The facilities of the Niagara Falls Gazette were made available to this class by M a n a g i n g E d i t o r Donald Johnson. At its first session at the Gazette, Mr. Johnson led students on a tour of the Gazette newsroom, com-posing shop, stereotype department, pressroom, the new photo composition department and advertising and busi-ness offices. Johnson wound up the tour by describing the operations of the newsroom in producing a daily newspaper and the problems involved in news coverage. Mondays and Wednesdays

On Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m., the class, with an en-rollment of 37, met on the Buffalo campus for discussion of newspaper topics and to hear guest lecturers. Among the latter was Ben DeForest, in charge of the Buffalo bureau of The Associated Press, who described the manifold and far-ranging operations of the world's largest news-gathering organization.

On alternate Tuesdays, the students made the 20-Tiile trip from the Buffalo campus to the offices of the Gazette, where they held a three-hour session, writing news stories, e d i t i n g c o p y , writing headlines, familiarizing them-selves with AP copy as it comes off the teletype machines, and engaging in layout of pages and handling of Wirephotoe. Organization and Headlines

Two aspects deserve special men-tion: The organization of the day's news report, involving judgment in the selection and play of stories, and the stress laid upon writing heads. The latter is p a r t i c u l a r l y important be-cause it teaches students how to ana-lyze the elements and structure of a news story and pick out the salient features to compress into a head, so that it captures the basic meaning of a story.

Apart from the workshop sessions at the Gazette, students were required to submit papers on assigned topics or topics of their own choosing, pref-erably the latter, and were encouraged to engage in news projects involving a team approach. One of the assign-ments, for example, was to carry out a survey of student attitudes on the draft lottery. Another was to analyze the c o m p l e t e c o n t e n t s of selected newspapers in terms of hard news, soft news, features, editorial comment, pictures, advertising and so forth.

As an accompaniment of their news-room sessions, students got a practical look at newspaper photography from Joe Ognibene, a Gazette photographer,

who took them on a tour of the photo lab and discussed some of the prob-lems in handling photo assignments and his long experience on the Ga-zette.

Most of the students in the two bulletin board courses are drawn from the campus p u b l i c a t i o n s and from WBFO, the U n i v e r s i t y ' s FM radio station. Since the courses carry four credit hours, the work of the students is judged by the instructor, who hands out letter grades a t the end of the semester. Third Course

A third journalism course is offered a t U/B, but not for credit. This is taught by Lee Smith (an editorial writer for the Buffalo Evening News) in the evening school, the Millard Fill-more College - Division of Continuing Education.

A good many of the students in the bulletin board courses are interested in communications as a career. Others want to acquire f a c i l i t y in writing skills as an aid in pursuing varied pro-fessional objectives.

Undoubtedly, a n e w s r o o m atmo-sphere in which to work helps to make more concrete and s t i m u l a t i n g the processes i nvo lved in p r o d u c i n g a daily newspaper. For members of the class who are on the staffs of the stu-dent newspapers, this brings a new dimension to their experience.

The three student papers on the Buffalo campus are lively, rather well written and well edited, with striking innovative design in layout. Experi-mental techniques in news presenta-tion are widely used and compel read-er interest. During the student turbu-lence on the campus in late winter, the newspapers p r o v i d e d good, de-tailed coverage. . . . The campus me-dia performed another valuable service by bringing to the fore the many is-sues which precipitated the utbursts. Where Is Journalism Headed?

The bulletin board courses, neces-sarily temporary in nature, raise some questions. Where are they headed? Will they be integrated into the regu-lar curriculum on an organized basis?

In describing these courses, the Di-vision of Undergraduate Studies says:

"This project offers faculty and stu-dents a unique opportunity to initiate the courses they feel are important and relevant to their learning inter-ests. I t will also afford students and faculty the opportunity to pre-plan the s e m e s t e r ' s course and require-ments. Hopefully, this bulletin board and similar projects will become a permanent part of our academic in-struction for students and faculty to directly affect and influence their aca-demic experiences at the University."

What then are the prospects for the establishment of a department of jour-nalism a t U / B ?

This question, which has been raised

Dental School Pioneers Teaching Method U / B ' s School of Dentistry is

the first in the nation to teach without lectures the rubber dam technique basic to many dental procedures.

, Dr. George W. Ferguson, pro-fessor and chairman of opera-tive dentistry, said the "do-it-yourself" program was initiated last fall with 75 sophomore stu-dents. Each student receives a 170-page p r o g r a m m e d , illus-trated workbook d e s i g n e d to teach t e r m i n o l o g y and tech-hique needed for the clinic. A 14-minute color movie, slides and film strips supplement the workbook.

This new teaching technique — programmed learning — has several advantages and charac-'teristics, according to Dr. Peter R. Cunningham, clinical assist-

ant professor of operative den-tistry and endodontics:

Each student is on his own. He studies a t his own pace and tests himself. The instruction is faster and more enjoyable. It is directed toward a specific objective, is adaptable to in-dividual differences, a n d t h e knowledge is retained longer. There is also immediate stu-dent response and feedback.

The instruction has been de-signed so that more than 90 per cent of students will correctly answer at least 90 per cent of questions. I n c o n t r a s t , o n l y about 30 to 35 per cent of ques-tions asked following a good lecture will be c o r r e c t l y an-swered, Dr. Cunningham says.

The rubber dam, a thin sheet used to isolate teeth in the op-

erating field, p r o m o t e s excel-lency in o p e r a t i v e dentistry, according to D r . F e r g u s o n . "That is why we want to teach it? use to our dental students."

' 'Most dental schools teach the technique. But only a small percentage of dentists use it in their practice. We just haven't done e. good selling job within our own profession," Dr. Fer-guson said.

Also involved in the prepara-tions for this special teaching program are Dr. John W. Os-borne, assistant professor of op-erative d e n t i s t r y a n d dental materials; Dr. Taher A. Razik, associate professor and director of curriculum development and instructional media, and Miss L o r e t t a A. K a y e , technical writer.

over a number of years by students and professional newspapermen from the Niagara Frontier, was explored last fall with the University by a com-mittee from the Greater Buffalo Chap-ter of Sigma Delta Chi headed by Managing Editor Johnson. The com-mittee emerged from a session with U / B officials greatly h e a r t e n e d by promises of support for steps to estab-lish a journalism program.

As far back as 1966, Dr. A. Westley Rowland, vice president for university relations, had recognized the need by drawing up a proposed program in communication arts for the State Uni-versity. In a seven-page memo intro-duced by a quotation from Dr. Ashley Montagu, the famed anthropologist, "Communication is the essence of the human condition," Dr. Rowland set forth the imperatives for the creation of a School of Communication Arts, to be accomplished in phases over a period of years. Among its seven divi-sions would be a department of jour-nalism, covering newspaper writing, reporting and editing, magazine writ-ing and publishing, and photo-journal-ism. No Progressive Course

The b u l l e t i n b o a r d courses, con-strained to l i m i t t h e i r enrollment, have found a wide response and testify to the demands of many students to institute journalism on an organized basis. Since they are simply a stopgap, they suffer from inherent handicaps, such as the fact that they are designed on a one-semester basis and don't af-ford the student contemplating a ca-reer in journalism a progressive course of studies leading to his goal.

Because there are no requisites for the courses, varying levels of experi-ence or non-experience are represented in the classes, with some frustration for the instructor in trying to com-municate both with novices and those who have had some elemental famil-iarity with the gathering and writing of news.

The neglect of journalism within the State University system was under-scored by Dr. Rowland when he point-ed out that the University: " . . . is the public center of learning for the State with the greatest concentration of the nation's communications indus-try. . . . Yet, within State University there i s n o f o r m a l communications program. None is presently projected for any of its graduate centers, the most logical settings for a comprehen-sive in-depth study of a field of such wide and vital significance."

The era of upheaval we are living through calls for quick steps to de-velop widely the arts and skills of communications.
