COUNCIL ENDORSES POLICIES ON FACILITIES USE, EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION
At its January meeting, the College Council gave official approval to a new College policy
governing use of Plattsburgh State facilities by outside organizations, and endorsed in principle a
College policy to guarantee equal access to higher education for minority students.
The new College policy governing the use of facilities for activities other than regular instructional programs was formulated by a committee chaired by Facilities Planning Coordinator
J. Derek Allan. The purpose of the policy is to encourage rather than to limit or preclude the use
of University facilities for educational, non-profit activities within the scope of University
functions, including broad public service.
The policy sets down specific guidelines, including contract stipulations, that must be followed
by organizations requesting the use of College facilities. According to the policy, requests for
the use of facilities should be directed through Allan's office.
The Plattsburgh program for equal access to higher education, prepared by the College's student
affairs staff and presented to the College Council by Vice President Willard C. Flynt, reaffirms
Plattsburgh State's commitment to recruit, admit and retain students from minority groups, and
recommends specific assignments to campus offices to insure that that commitment is met.

STATUS OF NEW LIBRARY EXAMINED
Plattsburgh State administrators have been assured by North Country Senator Ronald B. Stafford

The new Plattsburgh State library facility (the need for which was stressed by the 1971 Middle
States Association accreditation tears) is characterized as "one of the top priorities of the State

"DISGUSTING"? -- AN EDITORIAL
With specific references to a St. Patrick's Day incident in downtown Plattsburgh, an editorial in
yesterday's edition of the Press-Republican expressed that newspaper's disappointment with
"the young people at Plattsburgh State University College." Said the newspaper editorial, "welre
rather disappointed in the many young people at Plattsburgh State who became part of a drunken,
glass-throwing crowd that disrupted order in our community."
In short, in the opinion of Weekly, the Press-Republican editorial laid the blame for Saturday's
incident in downtown Plattsburgh squarely and solely on "several hundred" Plattsburgh State
students. According to our sources -- which include police, students and unbiased observers
from the community -- there were numerous individuals who are not Plattsburgh State students
who were involved in the propagation of Saturday's incident:
On the basis of that information, we conclude that yesterday's Press-Republican editorial reflects
an unjustifiable bias:
If, as the Press-Republican reports, Plattsburgh students Saturday "fed the flames of misunderstanding and mistrust by the Over-Thirty generations," then we ask whether editorials such as the
one which appeared yesterday are designed to fan those flames into an unfair public prejudice:
Saturdayls incident was "disgusting" indeed: Disgusting in a much different and far more lasting
and damning sense is the careless attack which the Press-Republican yesterday launched against
the students of Plattsburgh State:

SARANAC DINING HALL TO CLOSE WEEKENDS
To offset spiraling increases in food prices, the executive committee of the Plattsburgh
Faculty-Student Association voted Tuesday to close Saranac Dining Hall on weekends (from
2:30 p:m. Friday through Sunday evening) beginning March 30 and continuing through the remainder of the spring semester. The committee expressed the belief that students will recognize the fact that escalating food prices nationally forced the dining hall closing. Full dining
hall service will continue through the weekends at Clinton Dining Hall and the Stage XIV
Dining Hall.
Before acting to close Saranac Dining Hall, the executive committee carefully considered what
it felt to be the only other three alternatives which would have alleviated the problem, and
they were:
1) serving meat as a main dish for substantially fewer meals;
2) abolishing all "seconds" for all meals;
3) raising the price of meals for the last quarter of the semester.
HEARING SCHEDULED MONDAY FOR MRS. GISKIN
A "Step II" grievance hearing in the case of Mrs. Sharon Giskin has been scheduled for Monday
(March 26) at 9:30 a.m. in the Albany office of Caesar J: Naples, the assistant vice chancellor
for employee relations.
Background Information
Mrs: Giskin is grieving an English Department evaluating committee decision not to recommend
her for reappointment, and her grievance is based on claims that (1) she was discriminated
against on the basis of sex and that (2) she was not given enough time to respond to the draft
recommendation of the evaluating committee.
(over)
The decision at Step I found no basis for her charge of discrimination. The decision, however,
recommended that Mrs. Giskin be given an additional two weeks to review her personnel file and
add materials to it, and that she then be given an additional evaluation in accordance with the
regular English Department procedures. President Angell accepted that recommendation and
directed the English Department to inform Mrs. Giskin of the additional time.
On February 27, the English Department met at the request of its evaluating committee and
rejected the President's directive calling for another evaluation. Also on February 27, at the
request of Mrs. Giskin, the Senate Professional Association Grievance Committee appealed
Mrs. Giskin's grievance to Step II (Albany) on the basis that her grievance claims (discrimination,
not enough time to file a response) and redress (essentially, reappointment) had been denied
at Step I.
Since a Step II finding would in essence override any action at Step I, President Angell temporarily withdrew his directive to the English Department.
THREE SIOUX CHIEFS HERE TOMORROW
Three Oglala Sioux Chiefs -- Chief Fools Crow, Chief Kills Enemy and Chief White Hawk -- will

the Large Auditorium of Hawkins Hall.

BLACK ONYX WITHDRAWS REPRESENTATIVES FROM ADVISORY COMMITTEES
The Black Onyx Third World Front has announced that its members will not attend any more
meetings of the committees which President Angell established to prepare recommendations
relative to suggestions made in the Report of the Summer Task Force on Black Studies. In
memoranda to the chairmen of those advisory committees, the Black Onyx Third World Front cited
what it "consider(s) to be the victimization of Black Students on this campus regarding the recent
event of February 13," and said that it "cannot and will not support the administration in its
dealings with Black People" until the President rejects the recent recommendations of the
College Hearing Board in a case involving the alleged disruption of a February 13 meeting of
the Student Senate. (Trustees regulations do not permit a campus president to reject the recommendations of a hearing committee unless he has "new findings based on substantial evidence
in the record''.)
Last fall (see INSIGHT, Vol. 5 No. 3) President Angell appointed his top administrative officers
to the task of forming advisory committees to study and make recommendations pertinent to the
Report of a Summer Task Force on Black Studies. Since that time those committees (whose
memberships included, among others, representatives of the Black Onyx Third World Front) have
met regularly and reported the following accomplishments:
•
•
•
•
approving four Black Studies courses for the current semester;
scheduling several Black Studies courses for 1973-74;
exploring various proposed means for financing the Black Studies program;
selecting 052, Hawkins Hall, as the most suitable available location for establishment this
semester of a Center for Afro-American Studies. (That facility was renovated for use as a
Center for Afro-American Studies, but Black Onyx Third World Front said in an April 4
memorandum to Vice President Willard Flynt that it was not acceptable as a cultural center);
• seeking and reviewing applications for the position of Coordinator of Afro-American Studies;
• essentially re-establishing the Plattsburgh Commission on Human Rights and recommending
to Mayor Roland St. Pierre nine members for that commission.

SENATE CONCLUDES BYLAWS DISCUSSIONS; AIMS FOR SPRING TERM VOTE
Although lacking a quorum by one representative, the Faculty Senate Tuesday concluded discussion of the draft revision of the Faculty Bylaws. Acting as a Committee of the Whole, the
Senate moved to expedite a spring term vote on the Bylaws by the faculty at-large. However, before
the Bylaws can be presented in referendum before the total faculty, they must receive formal
Faculty Senate approval. Therefore, a telephone poll of absent Senators was agreed upon.
In other business, the Senate (as a Committee of the Whole) voted to ask its chairman to appoint
a special ad hoc investigative committee to review the case of an alleged violation of approved
Faculty Senate policy.
MISS SAMMIE IVES DIES IN ALBANY HOSPITAL
Miss Sammie Ives, assistant professor of education, died Tuesday at St. Peter's hospital in Albany.
She resided in Albany:
Miss Ives, 57, joined the College faculty in September of 1970. She was a supervisor of student
teachers in the Albany area, and she was affiliated with the Heldeberg Institute for Lighthearted
Learning in Voorheesville. She was especially noted for her creative approach to teaching, and
taught many workshops in creative teaching throughout New York State.
Upon learning of Miss Ives' death, College President Dr. George W. Angell said:
"Sammie Ives was a member of the academic community for a relatively short time and, for the most
part, her responsibilities kept her in the field as supervisor of some of this institution's most
promising aspirants to the teaching profession: However brief her tenure, Miss Ives established a
reputation as one of the most creative, energetic and responsive educators on the College faculty.
Her enthusiasm for innovation, for making learning fun for children, will be sorely missed by the
students she supervised, the youth who will benefit from her techniques in the long run, and by
her colleagues, particularly those in the Faculty of Professional Studies."
FACILITIES PLANNER RESPONDS TO CHARGES OF POLLUTION BY COLLEGE
A Cardinal Points article (May 1, 1973, p. 7) charging that ":.. Plattsburgh State's pollution of
the Saranac River goes relatively unnoticed and uncontrolled," does not represent all the facts in
the case, according to Facilities Planning Coordinator J: Derek Allan. Allan explained (in a
statement issued too late for submission for the May 8, final edition of Cardinal Points) that the
College connects all of its waste lines into City owned sewer lines. Because the City system
presently combines storm water waste and sanitary waste in single lines, sanitary waste from
the College (and the other residents of Rugar Street) may enter the Saranac River via overflow
storm lines during periods of high run-off:
To say that a solution to the problem is "not at hand" is incorrect, says Allan. He explains that
two years ago a trunk sewer line was installed beneath Rugar Street to carry wastes from the
Imperial Paper Comapny and the College directly to the new sewage treatment plant which is now
under construction by the City. When that treatment plant becomes operational (within a few weeks),
the new Rugar Street trunk sewer line should effectively eliminate the Saranac River pollution
described in Cardinal Points.
Insights of October 30 and November 25, 1970, give further descriptions of the Saranac River
pollution problem and of the College's contribution of more than $300,000 toward a remedy to that
problem.

MEETING OF VOTING FACULTY SET FOR MONDAY
WEEKLY reminds its voting faculty readership that President Angell has called a meeting of the
faculty for Monday (the 21st) at 4:15 in room 200 of the Yokum Building. The purpose of the
meeting is to provide an opportunity for discussion of comments and suggestions relative to the
proposed revisions of the Bylaws as presented by the Faculty Senate's ad hoc committee on the
revision of the Bylaws.
FOUR 'NEW BUSINESS' ITEMS HIGHLIGHT TODAY'S FACULTY SENATE AGENDA
The Faculty Senate, whose time has been spent in recent months on the necessary review of
proposed revisions to the Bylaws, meets this afternoon to attempt to resolve four important
items of new business. The first item up for consideration recommends alteration of the existing
"W" policy and urges that the proposed change become effective immediately; the second
recommends establishment of a new grade, "IP," signifying "in progress." Other agenda
matters concern a proposed admissions/matriculation policy for graduate studies, and a recommendation regarding the summary report of the President's Commission on Educational Priorities.
The four resolutions on today's agenda appear, in detail, in the Senate agenda for May 8. The
Senate meets at 4:10 in room 116 of the Myers Fine Arts Building.
FEDERAL FINANCIAL AIDS DOWN APPROXIMATELY 38% FOR ACADEMIC '73-'74
According to a memo to President Angell from Financial Aids Director Jane Minnier, the total
dollar value of federal financial aid to student programs will decrease by approximately 38 per
cent next academic year: Federal financial aid programs on campus (including the National
Direct Student Loan, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the College Work
Study Program) totaled $483,074 during the 1972-73 academic year. Mrs. Minnier's memorandum
reports that predicted allocations to those three programs during 1973-74 total only $300,000.
Because of an anticipated 28 per cent reduction in Work Study funds available next year, the
Work Study program will be suspended for the summer months to allow for the most efficient use
of available funds during the regular school year.

FOUR FSA MEAL PLANS FOR 1973-74 UNVEILED
The Faculty Student Association has selected the four most popular meal plans from five voted

will offer students residing on campus a choice among those four plans next academic year.
Approximately 800 students voted in the May 14 poll, according to FSA Executive Director John
Harrison, and their four most popular choices (the choices to be offered next year) were:
Meal Plan I, which provides 20 meals per week including breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday
through Saturday, and brunch and dinner Sunday. Tickets in this plan are not transferable, and
are valid only in campus dining halls. The plan will cost $682:00 per year or $341:00 per
semester, which is an average of $3:04 per day, and is recommended by FSA as the best
nutritional and dollar value.
Meal Plan II, which provides the same meals (20 per week) as Plan I. Meal tickets in Plan II
are transferable, and the ticket value may be used to purchase food in the snack bar or in the
college center cafeteria: Plan II will cost $818:00 per year or $409:00 per semester, which
is an average of $3:65 per day.
Meal Plan III, which provides 14 meals per week including lunch and dinner Monday through
Saturday and brunch and dinner Sunday. As with Plan II, meal tickets in Plan III are transferable
and ticket value may be used to purchase food in the snack bar or college center cafeteria.
Plan III will cost $646:00 per year or $323:00 per semester, which is an average of $2:88 per
day.
Meal Plan IV, which provides 70 per cent of the breakfasts, 70 per cent of the lunches and 70
per cent of the dinners offered in the campus dining halls. This plan is recommended by FSA
for students who feel they may be away from the dining halls 30 per cent of the time during
which each meal is served. Meal Plan IV was the most popular among May 14 voters, and
received 43:3 per cent of the total vote cast. The meal tickets in the plan are transferable and
may be used to purchase equivalent value foods in the snack bar or college center cafeteria.
Meal Plan IV will cost $573:00 per year or $286.50 per semester.
All four of the meal plans to be offered next year provide for limited second helpings on all
items served, and none of the plans provides refunds on unused coupons.
