Many students remember the discontent of Spring 1970. Many wore
present when classes were suspended to allow time for dialogues and
workshops aimed at improving education and meeting the problems of
this University. 1970 students were enthusiastic and actively participated in University affairs and government.
Next Monday one of the dreams of those 1970 students will be
realized. The Council of the College of Arts and Sciences will
convene -a council which encourages student participation and may
have the power to effect great changes in University policy. The
Council will assist in making budget allocations, will make recommendations to the University Council on Promotions and Continuing
Appointments, and will take part in the formation of course
curriculum.
In li)7'2 the clenched fists have disappeared. Finding jobs, avoiding
the draft, and passing courses seem to be more important issues to
these 11)72 students. Unfortunately, due to this lack of interest in
University government, opportunities for change and revision within
the University may he lost.

POTENTIAL POWER
The potential powers of the Council are great. Dr. Kendall Birr,
Interim Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and
Acting Chairman of the Council, said, "powers are almost impossible
to write into by-laws with the hope of being effective...by-laws
establish the framework within which various kinds of action can be
taken."
Birr explained that traditions must build up as decisions are made.
"Through the years," he said, "the University Senate has developed
areas of responsibility; they now clearly have say on curriculum and
degree requirements...whereas the role of the Council on Promotions
and Continuing Appointments is still in the process of evolution."

Elections were held last December to elect the nine undergraduates

Birr commented on the lack of student support. "Many feel that the
University is over-organized; you reach a certain point where you feel
it is no longer worth your tine and energy."
Birr went on to say that "faculty, students, and other people always
want to be consulted and involved and always want to be part, of the
decision-making process, but in any complex institution, such as this
University, to do that requires substantial committment of time and
energy."

What Are We

NEW YORK (LNS) Thousands
of
hyperactive
children- kids who can't sit
still and "learn"- in elementary schools all over the
country are being doped up
to enable teachers and administrators to keep order in
their shools.
Scientists have discovered
that "Ritalyn", a stimulant
used in the 50's for depressed
old people, has the opposite
effect on children who have
not reached puberty.
Faced with the natural
bored
response to overcrowding, irrelevant school
work,
and poor
homes,
teachers and administrators
are prescribing Ritalyn. Pressure is then put on parents
who have no place to send
their kids other than public
school to let the kids "take
the pill or stay out of
school".
A dose of Ritalyn every
four hours blocks out real
feelings of fatigue, hunger,
nervousness, and discomfort
and enables the child to concentrate on schoolwork. Dr.
David Martin, a California
doctor who has prescribed
Ritalyn for over 2,000 students teas pretty straightforward.
"Now I ivant you to understand we aren't curing these
kids, we're just keeping them

There have been reports of

into shock or being seized by
dizziness on taking their first

out by Vice-President Sirotkin as a
reasonable goal in view of the
budget crisis that prevents creation of new job positions. However, additional minority m e m b e r s
and women will not be d i s t r i b u t e d
evenly across the a c a d e m i c divisions. The Humanities Division,
according to Ruth S c h m i d t , Associate Dean for Humanities, m u s t
account for four of the i n t e n d e d

women. Humanities must a c c o u n t

the division already has one of the

men's Caucus are both extremely
disappointed.
The Committee is an outgrowth
of the Affirmative Action Plan.
Chaired by Edy Cobane and responsible t o vice-president Hartley,
the committee was organized to
aid in the recruitment of women.
Their report to Hartley, after
meeting Monday, reflects their
displeasure with the Plan's operation. The committee is preparing o
letter requesting that Hartley explain why an earlier committee's
suggestions for Affirmative Action, submitted last June, were
never responded to (or included in
the Affirmative Action Plan the
university adopted.) That committee's suggestions were far more
specific than the broader Affirmative Action Plan that Cobane says
"sets no goals that are specific."
Cabana's committee also seeks to
have :i woman appointed, fulltime, to monitor the university's
efforts
to end
discrimination
against women.
The c o m m i t t e e is writing Hartley because the Affirmative action
Plan is his responsibility. Operatint! under Hartley, and actually
administering the Plan, is Leon
Calhoun, Director of the Office of
Equal Employment Opportunity.
Calhoun acts as a watchdog on the
university's efforts to und discrimination, and he is supposed to
report to Hartley nil problems
interfering with the Plan's effectiveness. Calhoun was present at
the c o m m i t t e e meeting and agreed
that a woman should be sought lo
work in the area of sex discrimination.

e n v i r o n m e n t a l studies courses, but then proceeded t o relv
nitirvly
on o u t s i d e grants t o hack up this pledge. These were
communications
to c o m e primarily from the National Science l u u i u l a t i o n . It
was q u i t e clear that o u r chances of receiving a grant were
m i n i m a l , particularly since o u r School of Criminal Justice
had j u s t received a sizable grant from the NSP.
A p p a r e n t l y , the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n has not learned that " t o get
things d o n e , you have t o d o it yourself." T h e University
should n o t pledge t o i n s t i t u t e a program if it knows full well
t h a t it has no funds of its own with which t o finance it.
We are n o t saying t h a t t h e Steering C o m m i t t e e should have
shown results i m m e d i a t e l y after its formation, There were
several
legitimate o b s t a c l e s which prevented cjinck action
from being t a k e n , including the many administrative changes
and the p r o b l e m s i n h e r e n t in mobilizing the entire university
for such an effort. F u r t h e r m o r e , we cannot expect that all of
the c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s should have or could have been in
perfect a g r e e m e n t o n h o w t h e program should be s t r u c t u r e d .
We
do
feel,
however,
that
t h e tactics ol certain kev
c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s adversely affected the prograins's prog
ress. Specifically, we cite what o n e student called " t h e
d i c t a t o r i a l m a n n e r " in w h i c h the chairman r.111 the meetings,
and
the allegations t h a t
" c e r t a i n issues were not to be
d i s c u s s e d " such as " w h o should d e t e r m i n e how the program
would be s t r u c t u r e d
faculty or s t u d e n t s . "
The tact that the true history ol tin environmental studies
program has been kept secret harms t lie credibility ol the
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and t h e leadership ol tile c o m m i t t e e . Kvei
since its inception ami until last m o n t h there was never aiiv
suspicion a n i o n g the university coiiitminin 1l1.1t the Steering
C o m m i t Co was beset with scrums internal problems. Keen the

T o T h e Editor:
In t h e report of the Governance
Commission it is proposed that
the t e r m s of s t u d e n t senators be
e x t e n d e d lo Iwo years I'rom the
one year presently served
T h e r e are many p r o b l e m s arising
from this change; also many reasons for opposing il:
1st, Freshmen would n o t be able
lo r u n , or vote, for certain seats
until the end of their s o p h o m o r e
year
half way through their
u n d e r g r a d u a t e careers. They lire
disenfranchised lor this period of
lime,
2nd, i w o year t e r m s potentially
m o n o p o l i z e the positions in ihe
h a n d s of a few. making it tlnrepresenlalive of lire annual turnover in
Ihe student body T w o years is a
long lime in relation lo an undergraduate college career. Should we
be forced In have a representative
lor so long'' S h o u l d n ' t we he
allowed l o change if we waul' 1
.(id. J u n i o r s ,
in the spring,
would be voting lor s o m e o n e w h o
will serve iwo years even though
thev themselves will be here only

III lining M.
•1th, a senator must live on the
quad he is representing. This
forces him either t o spend t w o
years on u quad he originally may
have wanted for only o n e or t o
spend a n o t h e r year o n a q u a d he
may have grown t o dislike - just so
he can retain his seat in the
Senate. S t u d e n t s switching q u a d s
would have no say in w h o Lheir
senators were for o n e full year il"
those senators were serving their
second year in office.
As we all can see, in the long
run, t h e t w o y e a r t e r m for s t u d e n t
senators takes away from s t u d e n t s
the right lo vote for, or he, a
candidate for certain seals under
many of these c i r c u m s t a n c e s , A
t w o year term diminishes s t u d e n t
representation on t h e g r o u n d s of
trying t o gain m o r e " e x p e r i e n c e "
in the Senate t o have an "effective" second year. But even the
Governance Commission concedes
[hat " T h e s t u d e n t ' s
affiliation
with the University is as brief us il
is crucial, mid that w o r k s against
their developing the same expert
ise as the f a c u l t y . "
We urge all s t u d e n t s l o o p p o s e
mandatory two year terms lor
their student senators
Sincerely,
Edward Allcgrclli

To the Editor:
I feel it necessary to comment
u p o n t w o articles in the ASP of
January 28.
First, Dr. H o o d and the in
firmary s h o u l d indeed he lauded
for their e n l i g h t e n e d t r e a t m e n t of
drug abusers. Their approach is
atypical
of m a n y universities
But the article m e n t i o n s the
infirmary having seen 15 students
this y e a r a d d i c t e d l o heroin or
cocaine. If they have seel
case of a d d i c t i o n to cocaine. lilts
is medical h i s t o r y ; cocaine is mil
an addictive drug. Highly habit
uating and dangerous
to lire
a b u s e r ' s n e r v o u s s y s t e m , bin uol
causing physical d e p e n d e n c e This
is p r o b a b l y just an oversight in
r e p o r t i n g , b u t a m y t h which needs
dispelling.
Finally, as lo John Fairhall's .111

Disagreement A m o n g M e m b e r s
T h e biggest p r o b l e m faced by t h e c o m m i t t e e was a
s t r o n g divergence of opinion b e t w e e n t h o s e w h o felt
t h a t t h e faculty and t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n s h o u l d be
r e s p o n s i b l e for setting u p a strictly s t r u c t u r e d
p r o g r a m in e n v i r o n m e n t a l s t u d i e s , and those w h o
felt t h a t it s h o u l d be t h e s t u d e n t s ' responsibility t o
set u p a s t r u c t u r e m o r e t o their o w n liking. With
few e x c e p t i o n s a conflict grew along f a c u l t y / s t u d e n t
lines, with t h e faulty a d h e r i n g to t h e p h i l o s o p h y of
Dean R o b e r t Morris w h o s e p h i l o s o p h y is best
s u m m a r i z e d by a r e c e n t q u o t e on S/U grading:
" R e s p o n s i b i l i t y s h o u l d be r e t u r n e d to those m o s t
qualified by ' h e virtue of e d u c a t i o n , e x p e r i e n c e , and
maturity • the faculty." i
This perspective was shared by t h e future Committee C h a i r m a n , Stanley B l o u n t , Chairman of the
G e o g r a p h y D e p a r t m e n t , and with m a n y of the
d e p a r t m e n t heads w h o were involved with tinprogram.
T h e s t u d e n t s on t h e Steering C o m m i t t e e were
clearly of t h e o p i n i o n that t h e y , themselves, should
have c o n t r o l over e n v i r o n m e n t a l studies here, determ i n i n g w h a t s h o u l d be t a u g h t and h o w this instruction w o r l d t a k e place. The s t u d e n t s wanted to
answer t h e q u e s t i o n s of c o u r s e r e q u i r e m e n t and
s t u d e n t e v a l u a t i o n , and they were s u p p o r t e d in this
desire by a r e p o r t to the President's E n v i r o n m e n t a l
Quality Council, which stressed t h a t s t u d e n t s should
have the strongest voice in a n y educational programs funded by the federal g o v e r n m e n t .
In a d d i t i o n to the internal struggles, there were
n u m e r o u s e x t e r n a l p r o b l e m s , chief a m o n g t h e m
being the r e c e n t a d m i n i s t r a t i v e changes- changes
m a d e for t h e most part after the c o m m i t t e e was
formed. Several Deans were n e w to the school, and
Vice—President for A c a d e m i c Affairs, Phillip Sirot
kin, had just t a k e n office. In a d d i t i o n , Ihe posl of
Dean of t h e College of Arts and Sciences remained
vacant for over a year.
Most i m p o r t a n t was t h e resignation of Earl Droessler, Vice-President for Research, in J u n e of 11)7 1
Research funds were i n t e n d e d to play a large role in
the e n v i r o n m e n t a l studies p r o g / a m , and the resignation of Droesler m e a n t that the funding nf Ihe
p r o g r a m would be set back c o n s i d e r a b l y . As a result
of all these personnel s w i t c h e s , n o o n e really knew
w h a t was going on with e n v i r o n m e n t a l studies al
a n y given time.
This p r o b l e m of funding was later to b e c o m e tin?

First Major Effort Failed
T h e c o m m i t t e e ' s first major effort was an a t t e m p t
to receive fundi ig for the Five Rivers Project. This
project involved the study of five local rivers, the
Mohawk, upper Hudson, Hoosik. Sacandaga, and
Ihe Schoharie, and it was expected that the funding
would come through a federal grant. T h e project

One s t u d e n t r e p o r t e d l y became so upset „ o n e „r

A t this t i m e , Dr. Schaefer was chairman of the

and c o n s e q u e n t l y never attended the meetings.

T h u s , the p r o b l e m confronting the administration
was t o find a n e w c h a i r m a n , someone who could
bridge the gap and begin to make some progress
toward the e s t a b l i s h m e n t of environmental studies.
Dr. Paul Bulger, Professor of Kdiie.iii.ni.il administration (Higher E d u c a t i o n } was appointed by
President Benezet on August "JTlli, and llto develop m e n t was greeted with optimism by inosl members
of t h e c o m m i t t e e . In a m e m o to one of the student
c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s Mike Lamperl. SA President,
commented
that
Bulger is "a responsive and
pleasant person t o work with. ' Bulger was also
k n o w n as a m a n " w h o can get his way " At one
time he was President of State University College at
Buffalo, and a c c o r d i n g to one source lie "ran that
school with an iron hand and a fell glove "
Bulger was faced with m o n u m e n t a l problems upon
his a p p o i n t m e n t its chairman The long battles of
the previous year had created much ill will and left
d e e p scars. It was u p lo Bulger lo assess the
situation and d e c i d e t h e proper course He first
talked with all t h e c o m m u t e members personally,
and then p r o c e e d e d lo organize a "working comm i t t e e " which consisted essentially of Huleer, Melvin Urol'sky, D i r e c t o r of the Office of Innovative
and E x p e r i m e n t a l E d u c a t i o n , Louis Isin.i, Professor of the p o p u l a r Environmental Forum, and

were willing to c o o p e r a t e and ihe group was small
enough and met frequently enough lo Ircgm making
substantial progress
To this date, it is an open secret that a great deal
of tine lias passed, considerable energies expended, and a great deal
withstanding the dedicated efforts of many individuals.
that your appointment as Coordinator of Environmental Studies signals
the arrival of a new phase in this hiPtory—one in which much substantive

p r o p o s a l , which

was developed and w r i t t e n by Vincent

Schaefer,
Professor of A t m o s p h e r i c Science here. This was " t h e starting p o i n t "
for the E n v i r o n m e n t a l S t u d i e s Steering C o m m i t t e e , representing their

An interesting sidelight t o t h e
story of the e n v i r o n m e n t a l s t u d i e s
is the case of Dr. Richard Brown
of the Physics D e p a r t m e n t . B r o w n
was very interested in environmental studies, a n d he organized a
new course, AS 3 0 0 , which dealt
with the " E n v i r o n m e n t and t h e
Disciplines." S t u d e n t s enrolled in
i h e course r e p o r t t h a t it was
"excellent."
When he came u p for t e n u r e
review in t h e Spring of 1 9 6 9 ,
however, the Physics D e p a r t m e n t
decided that they would not be
able to give Brown t e n u r e because
he was teaching a course t h a t he
was not originally i n t e n d e d t o
leach; he was s u p p o s e d t o be
coordinating Uiei Nuclear Aecelera
tor lalx>ratory. Brown's lack of
political s u p p o r t a m o n g fellow
faculty m e m b e r s did n o t aid hih
efforts to receive t e n u r e .
In Spring of 1971 B r o w n ' s ap
p o i n t m e n t in Physics e x p i r e d . S t u

serve both as c o o r d i n a t o r for en
vironmental s t u d i e s , and as t h e
person w h o would "deal with t h e
students."
Unfortunately,
no
m o n e y was available for this, so h e
was placed on t h e staff rather
than t h e faculty and was funded
with research funds rather than
regular academic funds.

Face Fredonia, Buff. Sf.
Danes SUNY Title Hopes on Line
tot
by Neal Weber
The south side of the Albany State campus will be where all the
action is this weekend as the Albany Great Danes take on Fredonia
and Buffalo State in what promises to be two exciting SUNY
Conference basketball contests.
artistry.
Intra-
ol
Both games are slated to begin at 8:30 P.M. in the University Gym,
with Fredonia leading off tonight, and Buffalo State tomorrow.
The Great Danes, victims of poor ball handling and weak foul
shooting in their loss at Potsdam last Saturday, must rebound against
two of the strongest teams in the SUNY Athletic Conference in order
to realistically stay in contention for the championship. A loss to
either team would all but eliminate them from any chance of the title
and the NCAA playoff bid that is awarded to the conference champ.

Albany is meeting Fredonia for the first lime nil a basketball court.
The Blue Knights have an overall d-5 won-losl record, hut are a pom
(l-.f in the SUNY Conference, This last statistic may be misleading in
terms of how slrong the Fredonia squad is. because these losses have
been lo the strongest teams in the conference, lirockport, Buffalo
State, and Potsdam. They play a sagging /one defense which docs not
like to come out and meet the opposition, so a deliberate, low scoring
game is expected. "We're using the Fredonia game for practice
purposes," explained Coach "Doc" Sauers. Bin il may be lime for Ihe
Blue Knights to break out of Iheir slump al the expense of Albany.
Buffalo State brings an incredible streak of 2X consecutive SUNY
Conference victories into Saturday's game. They've lost a grand total
of one league game in the lasl 51/; years, and this year arc undefeated
in league competition. The Bengals top scoring threats are 6'0" Dune

Burns, a ferocious rebounder, averaging 20.7 points per game, and
5'M" Ken Zak at 18 points even. "Buffalo State plays a fast break
game, so we must counter it with good defensive balance to slow them
down. I think that we've got a pretty good chance to win if we take
good shots and play consistent ball," Coach Sauers stated matter-offactly. Summing up Buffalo State in one word: awesome.
The Great Danes, matched up against taller competition as usual,
have to be up for these games. They're placing a 14 game home
winning streak on the line against the Blue Knights of Fredonia, who
are hungry for their first SUNY victory, and the Bengals of Buffalo
State, who have their own winning streak under their belts.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1972
The Music Department presented the firsl of the Free Music Store
series, titled "off garde" Friday evening in the Art Gallery. "Sound
Strictures" opened the evening with an audience participation
gimmick- the space of the gallery was electronically sensitive to the
audience's physical presence and movement. Movements in and by the
audience caused changes in the sounds produced by the synthesizer.
Wliilc the concept could be inlriguing. no attempt was made to take
advantage of it and only the few little kids present seemed to lake lull
advantage of and get some enjoyment from the format.
What followed proved indeed "oil garde". Technical difficulties.

In a recent article thai reviewed Emerson lake and Palmer's latest
album, Pictures at an Inhibition, the wrilci wondered as to the
reactions of a classical music Ian lo tins soil of work. As a
self-proclaimed member of tins select group I will attempt lo answer
his question along with bringing up some points of my own.
For those of you as yet unfamiliar with llus album, a very
unfortunate situation which should he recoiled assoonaspo.ssible.il
consists of "Pictures at an Exhibition," a woik by Mussorgsky
(IKJ0-I88I) for piano which had been previously adapted lot the
orchestra by Ravel earlier tins century. In addition, thrown in at the
end was an encore performance (the whole album is live from a single
concert) of "Nuliockct," Emerson, Lake and Palmer's rock-jazz
version of Tchaikovsky's March from the Nutcracker.
This piece is definitely the standout of the album. It is fresh and
vibrant owing much of its success to its staccato rhythm imposed
upon the melody and stiletto like hursts of guitar. This contrasts
superbly with the more flowing, subdued traditional version.
As for Mussorgsky's work, then rendition is extremely faithful to
the original except for then excellently done drum and guitar
improvisations The standout here has gol lo be the mellow, haunting
organ and tnoog used throughout the album
As il was pointed out in the article this is not (he fust attempt at
incorporating classical music into a rock medium or visa versa.
Emerson had long done il wilh the Nice and his influence has carried
over in all Emerson, Lake and Palmer ventures On then second
Other groups have also attempted lo set a classical piece into a rock
milieu. On a blatant level the Yes, on then newest album ,(Fragile),
play extracts from Brahms' Fourth Symphony. Ian Anderson (of
Jelhro lull) uses his superhuman prowess on lire flute lo do a superb
version of Bach's Douree, although one would nol be wrung in
pointing out that there are very few "rock" elements throughout a
good portion of the piece. One medium, il seems, can be perfectly
interchangeable wilh the other.
Another point of ihis article is lo try to gel any true qualily rock
lover to overcome any fears he has of classical music and convince him
to try il. Anyone who admires the complex themes and melodies of
the Beatles, Moody Blues, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake and Palmer,
Yes, etc. (I'm sorry if I've left your particular favorite out) should give
Bach's harpsichord pieces, or Haydn's symphonies or Bcetliovan's
works etc. (again, sorry if I left someone out) a chance. If the
transition is loo drastic may I suggest the two famous classical tnoog
albums: Switched on liach and The Well Tempered Synthesizer
(particularly the latter, offering Us well done Monteverdi and Handel
pieces). Wliilc introducing these classical works, it keeps the rock
listener in the more familial atmosphere of a tnoog as opposed lo
symphonic instruments.
porlion oi the audience was presumably composed ol refugees horn
paienls who might conceivably have bought such a disaster "for their
kids" lliey loved il.
In general, though, the program seemed deservedly hard-pressed to
hold lire attention and interest of lis audience. One musl trope thai
aiiangeinenis will be made so that future events will be free of the
technical problems which made a farce of llns one. One might also
hope, though experience in this reference leaves me somewhat
pessimistic, that future programs will include material with a more
diveise emotional content, Tlrete should be some sense of life

The State University Construction Fund, which is responsible for
all SUNY building programs, has not done its task as efficiently as it
could have according to an audit by State Comptroller Arthur Levitt's
office.
While the report notes that the fund accomplished its objective of
providing sufficient facilities to permit SUNY to double its enrollment
between 1961-1971, it charged that "...facility costs could have been
reduced...," and with better planning, "...a lesser number of facilities
would have been needed..."
The report cited a need for more effective planning and called for
an increase in the school week from 45 to 60 hours or more, weekend
programming, reduced vacation shutdowns by possibly switching to a
trimester system, and a reduction in costs by lowering space
standards.
The auditors took the fund to task for its construction of facilities
with limited use. They cited a $10 million complex at Predonia which
only serves about 20 students.
The trend towards living off campus was also noted by the auditors,
and it was recommended thai further dorm construction be carried
oul only after careful revaluation of space requirements,
Nine building projects were examined by Levitt's office and were
found to be running about 1.1 months behind schedule. Tin1 auditors
called for better liason between SUCF and SUNY to help alleviate this
problem.
A need for "greater cost consciousness on the part of the outside
architect and SUCK" was also called for. The report charged that
many architects "over-designed" facilities thus raising their cost. In
other instances the buildings required materials that were in short
supply or were subject to inflationary pressures. The auditors claimed
that more careful planning could have saved millions of dollars.
The report also charged that many facilities already in operation
suffered from structural defects. It also claimed that many purchases
were made prematurely, and that many construction delays-and thus
increased costs-were caused by academic program changes at the
schools and by a lack of communication between the fund and SUNY.
Albany's linear accelerator located near State Quad, was originally
slated to be a part of a planetarium building at a cost of $1.2 million.
SUNY deleted the planetarium from its building plans because this
campus did not submit a suitable academic program. SUNY then
transferred the accelerator to a separate building. As a result SUCF
lost $126,000 from its design budget because of fees paid the
architect for the design of the eombined planetarium and accelerator.
Further design changes and delays of the final project cost SUCF
some $195,600.
Further structural problems here included the excessively noisy
ventillation fans in some classrooms and lecture centers which "add to
the acoustical problems already existing...," according to the report
Some of the problems were traced to improperly wired fan motors.
Another structural deficiency listed was the leaky ceiling in the
campus center.
Albany's equipment purchasing was criliei/ed sharply by the audit
report "Our on-site visit to the Albany campus has disclosed.,, thai
some ol the equipment may not have been needed and that others
could not be used because of lark of space or of qualified personnel."
More than 1,00(1 lockers were purchased for use in the basemen! ui'
the Karlh Science building hut were displaced by a neetl for additional
faculty offices The lockers arc currently slacked in .i section of the
building where they cannot be used
Sonic purchased item.', required .specialized knowledge to maintain
iind operate, or temperature controlled rooms for storage and use;
"however, none of these requireHH'uLs were available at the Albany
campus. ," the report slated. In this category were I wo electron
microscopes, two spectrographs and x ray equipment. The cost of
Ihese items was $2 IH,001) This equipment may be damaged beyond
repair due to Hie lack of controls, qualified operators and proper
maintenance
A recent audit by State Comptroller Arthur Levitt criticized SUNYA's purchase of expensive technical
equipment. According to the audit, the X-ray defraction machine shown above may be receiving damage
because a special temperature controlled room was not provided for it.

According to Comptroller Levitt's audit, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectograph shown above may
be damaged beyond repair because a room with special temperature and humidity controls was not
included in the architect's plans for the chemistry building.

The nuditors also eritici/.ed a (it) bulb chandelier in one of the
theaters of the Performing Arts ('enter The report claimed, "this
fixture cannot he lowered, therefore, it is necessary to erect a scaffold
over the main auditorium whenever one ol the bulbs has to he replaced."

The lockers above are part of more than 1,000 lockers which were purchased fur use in the basement of
(he Earth Science Building but were displaced by a need for additional faculty offices. The lockers arc
presently in a section of the building where they cannot be used.
