Keep the Wheels Turning
Listen. You can almost hear the wheels turning around this campus. The improvements we've all been waiting for are on their way, or already taken care of. At last the physical appearance of our campus is starting to show a little common sense as a pedestrian area. Sidewalks are cropping up where mudslides once defined more natural walkways, sections of roads have been given over to grass lawns, and on Pine Hill one can see the beginnings of stairways to the higher dorms. Parking lots have been enlarged and/or paved, new benches, picnic tables, and grills have been added, and as a most pleasing touch, there's a basketball court on Saxon Drive.
For those of us here this past summer, many changes come to us as no great surprise. In fact,
Alfred Loves You Anyway
Last Saturday's football game was a tremendous disappointment to all of us, but I'm sure that no one felt the defeat more than the Saxon team themselves. They did such a fine job, that in spite of how they felt about the loss, they put such newspapers as the New York Times, which wouldn't even project the number of points they would lose by, to shame. Our defensive team deserves special recognition for their tremend- ously effective stifling of the Bridgeport attack.
We may have lost the game last week and we all may be really downed over the loss, but our football team showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that it could hold up beyond any sports writer's expectations against a team with the reputation of Bridgeport's. Regardless of the outcome, last Saturday's game is only a credit to the Saxon Warriors' potential as a football team.
I'm sure that I can truly say, on the behalf of the entire Alfred community, that we all love you, coaches and team, for the spectacular exhibition you put on last Saturday, and look forward to another season of consistently game winning calibre.

Historic Building Possible?
Q: Does the fact that the Steinheim is listed in the National Register as a national historic building make it impossible to covert the Steinheim to offices as per the Campus Plan requirements?
A: No. According to Bob Heywood, Vice President for Business and Finance, inclusion in the National Register does not effect the University's plans to convert the Steinheim, once a museum, to offices for University Relations.
Plans for rennovation of the building call for work to begin in the late seventies.

the ripping up of roads caused some inconveniences with the resulting mud and muck we tramped through. Power lines were set underground, creating a few blackouts during Intersession. The noise level of contruction woke us up bright and early most of the time.
Nevertheless, the wheels were turning and we were for the most part taken aback by it.
There is an age-old phrase that crops up now and then: "Nothing happens overnight; change takes time." There is a great deal of surprise in Alfred at just how little time all this has taken, when we had been so used to practicing the art of patience. It's enough to restore our faith in graduating after the fact rather than before that which we have fought for is actually done. We're finding it pleasantly difficult to get used to all this, (so pardon our stubborness in using the old Campus Center sidewalk).
One huge amount of thanks is due to the forces behind all this campus common sense and beautification. Only we can keep the wheels turning at Alfred by using the new facilities, rediscovering the joy of sidewalks, and taking care of our "new" campus, (unlike a certain individual who chose to carve his name into one of the new tables in the Campus Center Cafeteria.).
The Great Campus Planner In The Sky is getting down to some serious business. We can start believing in Him now, and all we have to do to keep the wheels turning is show a little appreciation and responsibility.

Inexcusable Mistake Occurs
I arrived at Harder Hall a little before 8:00PM the night of the Plimpton talk. The unfinished auditorium was already filling up. The first thing I noticed, though, was that the center area was cordoned off. It did not take long to find out the the area was reserved for the prestigious trustees, alumni, and parents attending a special orientation session here. I didn't resent the seats being reserved for them, considering that they, as a group, raise a staggering amount of money for the University each year. It's logical that they receive little treats in return. So much for them for the moment. Soon it became apparent that there was going to be an overflow crowd, which was entirely predictable considering that Harder Hall can accomodate 500 people at best.
So, the auditorium rapidly began to bulge at the seams with people and those ominous empty reserved seats almost snickered at the poor unseated slobs. It became intolerably hot and certainly obvious that it would be difficult to sit through a speech under such conditions. The time to begin finally rolled around and still those reserved seats were unfilled. Five minutes passed, ten, fifteen, still no special guests.
Twenty minutes after we were supposed to hear from Mr. Plimpton, President Miles trapsed in, signaling the arrival of the occupants of those empty seats. Soon after, Plimpton began.
I hope that the inexcusable mistakes which occurred two Thursdays ago will not be repeated.
I hope that it has been learned that Harder Hall is too small to accomodate the more crowd-pleasing programs on the C.P.C. series. I also hope that those in charge of the Truste-Alumni-Pa rent orientation feel guilty enough about the inexcusable delay that the group caused,to make sure that the Alfred Community not again be caused such inconsiderate inconvenience as was accorded at the Plimpton lecture.

Letters to the Editors
Lecture Hall Jammed
I
Dear Editor:
On September 13th Mr. George Plimpton was scheduled to appear in the Harder Hall auditorium.
It was estimated that at least 525 people were jammed into an auditorium which lacked proper ventilation, and could properly seat only 425. As a result of this situation students were turned away at the door.
Mr. Plimpton is a popular personality, why was the auditorium selected over the McLane Center which could comfortably accomodate the large audience. If ninety seats were reserved it would seem logical to use the larger facility. What was the purpose of the evening, to have Mr. Plimpton speak, or to put the new building (which is unfinished) on display?

Student Action Is Requested
To the editor:
At the last meeting of the Alfred Town Board I asked the Board to write a letter to the New York State Department of Transportation requesting the installation of sidewalks and/or bike paths on Rt. 244 between Alfred and Alfred Station. The ' Town Board refused for reasons that are unclear,
to say the least. I have since talked to Mr.
Rawady, the Town Supervisor, and his refusal is still adamant.
The dangerous mix of automobile traffic, bicycle traffic, and pedestrians must be separated or someone is going to be killed. Since the Town Board is unwilling to speak for its citizens on this matter-citizens, take the matter into your own hands. Write or call:

Re: Route 21, Andover to Alfred Station Gentlemen:
I write concerning that part of the referenced highway, which, coming from Andover, is just before one enters the curve and goes under the railroad overpass, going toward Alfred Station.
At this point there is almost constantly gravel on the highway.
As a taxpayer in the Town of Alfred and the State and as a person interested in the welfare of young people, I am concerned at the number of accidents which have occurred at that spot. To date 2 of them have been fatal to college students.
Recently there was a substantial award against the State in a death claim. But I am not as interested in the money more accidents will cost the State as I am interested in your taking some remedial action.
It appeared in the case referred to above that your personnel were aware of a "problem" but had not corrected it. There was a finding of negligence on the part of the State. Claimant's expert testified that another beamed guard-rail nearer the abutment would help. Also removal of gravel and installation of a speed zone were said to be likely to help.
I strongly urge that you take such action.as is necessary to minimize if not avert the possibility of someone* else being killed on that highway.
Sincerely, Richard B. Tolins
Dear Editor;
It seemed to be the end of a very peaceful summer in Alfred, as I walked to a friend's house that evening. The date was September 2nd, it had been another warm day in the village. As I approached the Grange, I noticed a police car (non-village) outside my friend's apartment.
Another friend was in the back seat of the police car looking hopeless. Tony was pacing up and down the driveway looking very confused.
What was happening or had happened? I didn't comprehend and was suddenly concerned, not knowing what to do or how to help. Richard, my friend in the police car, was exchanged for Tony and asked to follow the police car to Wellsville. I hopped in Richard's car and went along for the ride asking questions all the way.
Logically my first question was,"What did you two do?"
I listened while Richard drove .following the police car, to Wellsville to be fingerprinted and photographed. What had occured and the reality of the situation reminded me of Alice running into the Mad Hatter, it seemed like a fantasy.
Tony and Richard had been arrested for standing on village property, specifically the new
fire station, while holding a 2" by 8" split piece of lumber. They needed a board for a bookcase and were waiting for an approaching patrolman to ask if they could have what they thought was discarded lumber. When the policeman came down the street towards them he didn't allow any room for questions but escorted Tony and Richard to his car and announced that they were under arrest for petty larceny.

Respect Expressed for Team
To Editor:
I was one of the first to arrive at Merrill Field. I claimed by seat on the 50 yard line at about 10:30.
I watched the stands fill up as gametime drew near. I was impressed by the tremendous battle that surged back and forth during the first half.
A sense of confidence and belief gripped me as I saw the Saxons rise to the occasion once again against a highly rated opponent. When Bridgeport scored I felt bad, but confident that we could get it back. We did score and we took the lead on a phenomenal two point conversion play. I was already celebrating Alfred's victory when the thunderbolt struck and I sat in silence for about ten minutes.
I came away profoundly sad but with great respect for our team. As just one student and as an avid fan I would like to say I am proud of the Saxon Warriors.

Open 6 Days Noi Saturday
actions were all very real but so disturbing.
Events of the evening included engaging legal council at a minimal cost of two hundred dollars and announcement that court would be held in two days. An ordeal like this wasn't pleasant for my friends and I'm sure no one else would find it exciting. Rather, un-nervingly shocking.
Imagine being arrested for something you are innocent of, being photographed, fingerprinted, and then having to face false accusations at a great cost. This event, which took place on what I was hoping would be a mild Sunday evening really happened. It's no joke. My friends are still boggled by what occurred and are waiting more court sessions.
Patrolman Butts, the arresting policeman, had explained that the more arrests he made the better chance of a promotion. Anthony Russo and Richard Matros were, I am sure, not as interested in promotions at the time but were instead worried over a police record for something that never occured. Whether patrolman Butt's statement was true or false is unknown to me. I can only hope and have faith that he is misinformed. Meanwhile there are a few people, students, and faculty members of this campus who are very sickened over the absurdity that took place.

Concern Expressed Over Religious Propaganda
Dear Editor:
It was entitled "Thief in the Night"...It's not just another science fiction flick! This poster was hung in the Campus Center sometime Saturday the 15th of September. Quite a crowd had gathered in the Parent's Lounge at the posted hour, 9:00 P.M. I don't know why the others were present, mostly parents and town children, but I was prepared for some good science fiction.
Much to my suprise, the film turned out to exemplify the advantages of being a true Christian in a time of extreme strife. The world was fast losing its human population to those who gave themselves to Christ. The remaining population suffered extreme panic, formed a "Big Brother"-like government and life on earth became unbearable.
This was not the first time I had walked into such a situation. Twice before I have been conned into Billy Graham movies, advertised as a motorcycling spectacle. I have of course, no one but myself to blame for these mistakes, but I do think it is a sad commentary on religion if it must resort to these methods.
But this is not my only complaint. Though I have seen two similar films, I am appalled at the cunning and calculation of this film. I'm sure the adults in the room could handle these effects efficiently. But what of the children? In one scene a child came home from school and found her mother and sister missing. Having seen and heard the news of the Christian evacuation of the world, she suddenly believes her family has gone to heaven while she is left on earth. Panicking, she screams, and her family comes to her, for fortunately they haven't left. But the event is too much for her and she immediately prays to become a follower of the Lord. Surely, this is the most propogandistic religious media I have ever seen. I am deeply concerned as to the use of this
media let alone its advertising. Ask yourself: Can you, let alone your children, afford such anxiety?
I realize that each individual must answer these questions himself and I am not criticizing the University on its positions in these' matters.
All groups should be honestly and fairly represented. However, in the future. I believe it should he policy to post and advertise more accurately

Peace Corps Comes to A.U.
A Peace Corps and Vista Recruiter, Howard Conley, will be on the Alfred University campus Sept. 24 and 25 to offer program information to prospective candidates from the University and the surrounding area.
Conley joined the Peace Corps as a volunteer in 1970 and was stationed in India. He felt that it was an intense emotional experience as well as an eye opener as far as how conditions are in other countries as compared to the United States.
A Peace Corps worker works where there are fewer comforts: you lose weight, you may get dysentary once or twice in adjusting to the new environment, there's a problem in adjusting to the hot climate (since most countries involved in the Peace Corps program are located in the tropics), the gross lack of transportation. In short, the Peace Corps volunteer is made profoundly aware of his own physical being and rapidly realizes what unusual comforts exist in America.
There is a trend now toward recruiting the B.A.
generalist as well as the skilled worker because there is an intensive training program through which one learns what he needs to know for the work he'll be doing. Foreign language proficiency is a plus. If you are a teacher in the Peace Corps, that will count as your internship, so when you come back, you will have no trouble getting a teacher's certification in New York State. Also, Peace Corps work serves as a good background for a person interested in pursuing International Affairs as a career.
The tour of duty is two years, plus three months training. All living expenses are paid for, plus a subsistence allowance is given. Additionally, the volunteer is entitled to 48 days vacation (plus extra subsistence allowance) during the two year tour.
The Vista volunteer works within the U.S. in deprived areas. There is an air of the unknown around the newly recruited Vista worker because he Won't know where he's going (Vista has programs in 49 out of the 50 states) or what he'll be doing during his one year tour. The Vista recruit will be working in the field of community action with a fairly undefined role. The parts of the U.S. serviced by Vista have a different culture than that which the middle-class college student is used to, so it takes a flexible person to work in this program since you will live where you work.
Along with the one year tour of duty, the Vista worker gets free housing, and medical care plus a subsistence allowence (for food, entertainment, and miscellaneous expenses.) Previous to being stationed, the Vista recruit undergoes a three week training program, but, most of the training received for this program will be on-the-job training. Upon completion of the year's duty, the Vista worker will find it easy to become involved in poverty programs on a larger scale.
If Peace Corps or Vista work sounds interesting to you, Mr. Conley will be available from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on both next Monday and Tuesday in the Allen Hall Placement Office to answer any questions you might have and to accept applications.
Library Receives G r a n t
Herrick Memorial Library has received a grant of $25,000 from the Gleason Works of Rochester, N.Y. This generous gift, effective Oct. 1, is the second installment on a pledge made three years ago in response to a $75,000 proposal submitted to the company by President Miles.
The money received by the library thus far,
$25,000 during the 1971-72 school year, and this year's grant, has been earmarked for the purchase of special book collections and reference works not normally included in the annual departmental budget allocations for Herrick Library.
Alfred University and the State University Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred announced today a cooperative series of 1973-74 cultural programs that will bring nationally known speakers and stage productions to the two campuses.
The initial offering in the series was a lecture by author George Plimpton Sept. 13 at Alfred University and is followed by the musical
"Godspell" Sept. 21 at Alfred State College.
Former Astronaut Scott Carpenter will speak Oct. 1 at Alfred University. On Oct. 11 the theater group known as the Otrabanda Players will appear on the same campus.
Novella Nelson, a singer, will appear Oct. 24 at Alfred State College. Alfred University will be the site of concerts by the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra and pianist Gary Graffman Oct. 29 and Nov. 2 respectively.

The first Student Assembly meeting of the 1973-74 academic year was September 13. It was presided over by co-chairmen George Karras and Paul Cahn. The attendence was less than had been anticipated by the officers. Student Assembly meetings are open to all interested students; each student has an equal voice and vote in what transpires.
The first order of business was to list the committees with position vacancies, describe the responsibilities of each committee and explain the number of openings and to whom they are open.
The nominations for these positions will take place during this week and next, and will be voted upon at the Student Assembly election on Sept 27.
The committees with vacancies include: the Student Advisory Committe, New Performing Arts Center Committee, Computer Committtee, Library Committee, Student Grievance Committee, the University Council and the Student Activities Committee.
The Student Activities Committee is a very important committee and the two opentings on it are for Freshman only; there will be a meeting on Sept. 18 to discuss the requirements and responsibilities of the members.
There was a lengthy discussion about the financial status of the Student Assembly. The Student Assembly is in debt, some $7,767.91
Women's Lib activist, will appear Dec. 4 at Alfred University.
In 1974, folk singer Burl Ives is scheduled to appear Feb. 13 at Alfred State College. Alfred University will be series host for the next four presentations: the Tokyo String Quartet, March 8; the National Players, March 13; a Detroit courtroom judge, Justin Ravitz, April 5; and Newsweek columnist Shana Alexander, April 16.
Oboist Burt Lucarelli will appear in concert April 24 at Alfred State College. The season will close May 8 with lectures by representatives of Daughters of Bilitis and the Gay Alliance, at Alfred University.
Offerings on both campuses will commence at 8:15 p.m., locations to be announced at a later date. Students will be admitted to the events with AU or Alfred Tech I.D. Season tickets for the general public are available at Greene Hall on Main Street in Alfred, as well as at Jacobs Bros.

worth. Eight thousand dollars was taken as an advance payment of the 1973-74 Student Assembly allocations from the University. This * money was used to pay outstanding bills ($7,000)
and to repair and improve the Student Store (almost $800). The co-chairmen were asked about the ethics of making such a major decision without consulting the Student Assembly as a whole. The reasons given were: (1) There were no students available this summer for consultation when the decision had to be made;
(2) Students had expressed an interest in continuing the store in the coming year; and (3) by October it is projected that the store will have returned all of the funds put into it.
The financial discussion also covered the tight budget under which all campus organizations will have to be run. They discussed different fund raising ideas and a Road Rally is planned for
Tomorrow, Sept. 22, for this purpose. ^ It was announced that some of the meetings in
the future will be forums with town officials, \ President Miles and other important people in
Alfred. The first forum with the President is scheduled for the end of September or beginning of October.
The co-chairmen adjourned the meeting by asking for the cooperation and involvement of the students.

P.I.R.G. Still Lives
(Remember P.I.R.G.? The group with the funny name that everyone was signing petitions for last spring? Many wanted to add a refundable
$2.00 onto tuition for the purpose of expanding and enriching the Human Experience. Well, P.I.R.G. never quite made it.)
P.I.R.G. stands for Public Interest Research Groups. It is a consumer interest group in which students investigate consumer problems, includ- ing false advertising, environmental pollution, illegal practices, and a multitude of other injustices, using the resources and facilities of a university to collect concrete evidence supporting their contentions. A professional staff of lawyers, engineers, and scientists give backing to the students if and when the situation becomes a
* legal pursuit. It is for this staff that member universities contribute an average of $2.00 per student. (This contribution is strictly voluntary.) Last spring, advocates of PIRG circulated petitions asking for student approval of the formation of an Alfred chapter of PIRG, as well as adding the $2.00 with tuition, with the understanding that any student could get his
$2.00 refunded if he so desired. The group obtained over 800 signatures. However, the administration was unwilling to incorporate the addition into tuition, feeling that they would be, in ' effect, fund-raising for an independent, extra- curricular "club". Despite the fact that as student advocates pointed out, PIRG projects would be eligible for academic credit and the overall program would be an academic addition to the University rather than an extra-curricular activity, the administration remainded adamant in their stand. Their only offer was that PIRG could enclose a letter with each student bill asking for donations. It was the feeling of the students involved that this would not be effective in raising sufficient funds for membership in central PIRG. Rather than making a half-way attempt at the program which was unlikely to be successful, PIRG was set aside for the time being.
PIRG - dead at Alfred, or just sleeping? If you
• are interested in seeing it started again, contact Tony Russo at Student Assembly or leave a message at the Campus Center desk.
Parking Fees Rise 200%
Student parking fees at Alfred University were raised this month from $10 to $20 for the 1973-74 academic year.
Income from this source will be used to partially offset the $32,000 cost of grading and paving parking lots with a capacity for 145 cars at two campus locations, Ade Hall and behind Alumni Hall.
* The work, completed last month, is part of a continuing plan aimed at reducing internal traffic flow and developing perimeter parking and a pedestrian campus at Alfred.
According to William A. Allen, campus director of safety, some 850 student automobiles are registered with the University.
Job Picture Brightens
A brighter job picture was forecast last week for engineering graduates of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
"We're out of the doldrums," said James R.
Tinklepaugh, associate professor of ceramic engineering and ceramics placement counselor.
Tinklepaugh said that during the past academic year, more than 200 industrial openings for ceramic engineers came to the attention of the Alfred placement office and that 15 companies ' visited the Southern Tier campus to recruit
engineers at salaries ranging from $9,300 to
$13,000. Tinklepaugh said the U.S. Department of Labor, in its current Occupational Outlook Handbook, foresaw a rapid increase in the need for ceramic engineers due to growing use of ceramic materials in nuclear energy programs and electronics as well as consumer fields.

Volunteers Offer Chance to Help Others
"ACTION!" Did you notice students wandering around campus the first week of school wearing subversive-looking red T-shirts emblazened with this slogan in bold letters? No, it is not a 1973 version of the SDS or the SMC-but it is a student activist group. Student activists are not dead, just undergoing a metamorphosis. For these activists are not sign-bearing, slogan chanting political reformists. They are Student Volunteers for Community Action (SVCA) and their "action"
is helping other people. * * *
Begun last year under the guidance of Molly Congelli, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, the group has expanded at an explosive rate. They closed out last year with more volunteers than they had positions for, and last week's registration indicates that the upward trend is continuing.
Leadership from the group comes from the Advisory Board, an elected body of six students, assisted by Molly Congelli. Several of the individual program co-ordinators have sub-com- mittees working with them on the specific programs. There are three major divisions in the SVCA: the tutorial program, the Adopt-A-Grand-
Trustees Attend Orientation
Meeting the athletic coaches, a student presentation entitled "The Modern Student", and a CPC lecture by George Plimpton were among the activities enjoyed by a group of 36 guests, including Trustees, parents, and alumni, who visited the Alfred campus last week.
The orientation program, which lasted from Thursday, September 13th through Saturday, September 15th, was mandatory for new Trustees; in addition, under the Master Plan, continuing Trustees are required to attend one orientation session out of every three. Also invited were members of the Parents Council, selected alumni, and new faculty members. The goal of the three-day session was to familiarize off-campus affiliates of the University with various aspects of campus life and administrative organization.
Among those addressing the guests were President Miles, Vice President Barton, Mayor Horowitz, and Marlin Miller, Jr., a Trustee. The Advisory Board of Student Volunteers for Community Action also participated in the program, speaking to the Trustee Executive Committee.
parent Program, and Special Projects.
The tutorial program involves tutoring on a one-to-one basis, as well as acting as a teacher's aide in classroom situations. The tutoring takes place at Alfred-Almond Central School, where children range in age from elementary to high school level. Extra-curricular programs, such as sports are also included in the volunteers' outreach.
The Adopt-A-Grandparent Program, a local senior citizens program, involves students
"adopting" Alfred senior citizens and visiting them on a one-to-one basis. The emphasis this year, however, will be group activities for the older Alfredians. This program faces a real challenge this year; local senior citizens groups have been tried and abandoned several times over the years in Alfred.
The third division of Student Volunteers,
"Special Projects", is a sort of catch-all. It involves both projects such as Head Start in Hornell and one-shot projects; projected activities in the latter category include a faculty talent show for charity, campus beautification, and countless other possibilities. "Special Projects" seems to be the growth and development branch of the Student Volunteers.
CMI Struggles for Best
Although at present not directly affected by the shortage, student dining in Ade Hall and the Brick has by no means been left untouched by the current food situation. CMI director John Hansel has expressed some concern over his company's ability to obtain their standard high-quality food in the future.
Alfred has not yet felt the shortage due to the fact that CMI officials foresaw the present problem as long as six months ago, and were able to stockpile in preparation for it. When those supplies dwindle, however, shortages, lower quality products, and higher prices will pose a challenge to CMI officials.
On the present market, fruit, vegetables, cheese and meat are all short in supply and high in price, therefore lower in quality. In addition, oils, margarine, mayonnaise, and other indis- pensible fat products have become both expensive and scarce.
According to many official predictions, food prices may fall somewhat in the near future.
Until then, however, there promises to be a tough struggle for CMI to provide students with the best food their money can huy.
OZ Is Looking for Volunteers
In the fall of '68 three interested students started an informal service with the purpose of talking people down from bad trips. Later on, they named themselves "The Alfred University Student Drug Communications Committee." Since that time, the name has been shortened to OZ (that is not an abbreviation) but the purpose of the organization has widened. OZ is now a crisis-intervention service concerned with problems dealing with everything from sex to drugs. If faced with a problem that they cannot handle, OZ more than often can refer you to somebody who can.
The
'71-72
school year marked the formaliza- tion of OZ as a hotline and drop-in center. At that time Alfred University granted them permission to use their present house at 6 Sayles Street, and the hotline service which then consisted of a telephone in the middle of a busy living room was begun. The hotline training program was also being formed and they began receiving state funds and more help from Alfred University and Alfred Tech. Their plans this year involve going county wide and more than doubling their present staff of 15-20 people.An important question to ask is who does and who can work for OZ.

New Nursing Degree Planned
In 1971 the Regents of the State of New York announced plans for the development of an external Associate in Applied Science in Nursing degree. Since that time, outstanding nurse educators from New York State have been involved in the development of this program.
Degree requirements have now been established, and over 700 individuals are already enrolled.
Many of these candidates have either partially or fully met the general education requirements anticipation of the completion of the Nursing examination. Four of the eight Nursing examinations will be offered in November of this year. The first graduation will be in late 1974.
Nursing educators and all others in the academic community are invited to attend
"Regional Meetings" across the State to become acquainted with the Regents External Associate in Applied Science in Nursing Degree.
Nurse faculty responsible for the development of the degree and Regents External Degree staff will be on hand to provide background and to answer questions at each meeting.
All meetings will be held from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the designated locations.

patience to OZ's cause.
OZ conducts a fairly extensive training program for its new members. The program begins with 8 hours of training in counseling techniques and in how to be a good listener. This is followed by a 4 hour session concerned with drugs, laws effecting students, and information about sex, birth control, V.D., and abortions.
On-the-job training is the next phase of the training program. Its purpose is to aquaint the trainee with the information in the hotline office such as equipment and reading material. The trainee then answers simulated phone calls with his trainer, and when it is felt that he is ready he is allowed to answer the hotline under supervision.
Dave Gruder, the director of OZ, says that OZ needs more people. If you are interested in having an interview call 871-2112 or drop in to 6 Sayles before Thursday, Sept. 22. Or if you just want to call or come over to talk, that's O.K. too, because that's what they're there for.

l)r. Douglas F. Johnson, assistant professor of psychology at Alfred University, was the author of an article on racial 10 characteristics in the August issue of the American Psychologist, published by the American Psychological Association.
The title of Johnson's article was the
"Performance of Blacks and Whites in Computerized Versus M a n u a l Testing En\ : iinments." It discussed research he had condui ted suggesting that blacks, as a group, perform as well as whites on intelligence and achievement tests.
The consensus of experimental data gathered over the past few decades has indicated that blacks, as a group, score lower on IQ tests than do whites.
Johnson offered evidence that computerization of the test procedures - presenting instructions and questions, and demanding responses, by means of remote terminals - raised the test scores of inner-city blacks to an equivalent level with whites.

We invited a few friends for dinner
and they helped clean up the Genesee River.
With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorga- nisms, we're helping to solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others.
What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying sys- tems private industry has ever developed.
One process is called "activated sludge," developed by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption.
What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it.
The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combination.
We tested our system in a pilot plant for five vea"S.
(At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day.
Governor Rockefeller called this "the biggest volun- tary project undertaken by private industry in support of New York State's pure-water program."
Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to make a profit and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's.
And our business depends on society.
We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together.
