WINTER
WEEKEND Lwssst
Tim OUT mn When the six buses left SDATI,
Friday, January 12, 1962, for a-
Winter Weekend in the Pocono
Mountains, they contained approx-imately
300 students, all out for a
good time, and tiiat's exactly what
they had.
The enjoyment started as soon
as the buses departed. There was
a Jovial spirit with everyong sing-ing,
talking, catching some shut
eye, and - and. The trip took ap-proximately
five hours riding time
with one necessary stop.
SUATI's arrival at the beautiful
Mt, Airy Lodge was an exhuberant
one. Everyone received his room
assignment and deposited his lug-gage
and went directly to the dining
room for a late dinner. Through-out
our stay, the food and service
were excellent. That evening our
students went ice skating, night
dubing at the Club Suzanne or
New Faculty Chosen
the ^ p r e s s Room, and wait
numerous parlies. The activities Technology
began to slack off when the 3
a«m. hour rolled around and every-one
made his way to his respec-tive
room.
Saturday morning a delicious
breakfast was served for the early
risers, and for those sleepy heads
a Continental Breakfast was pro-vided
until 11:30 a.m. Now every-one
got down to tile business at
hand — having a fabulous tlmel
Though there was no snow, this
did not hinder the enjoyment of the
group. There was swimming in the
beauti^l indoor pool with Aemany
facilities that went along wltfi it.
Also, ice skating, horse-back
riding, bicycle riding (even a bi-cycle
for two), and a fully equip-ped
game room with various rec-reational
facilities were available
to all.
Saturday afternoon meant lunch
and than more fiin. A dance con-test
was held in the Club Suzan-ne
and the judges were Mr.
Adamo, Sukl Pombo, and Tom
Jackson. There was a slop and
twist contest. The winners were
each given a bottle of champagne.
After Saturday's dinner, Aere
was entertainment and dancing in
the Qub Suzanne and the Empress
Room, Parties were also held un-tU
3 a.m.
Sunday morning found many peo-ple
feeling differently; some were
sleepy, some were full of pep,
and some had upset stomachs and
headaches. After breakfast, tfie
facilities of Mt. Airy were again
available to SUATI's students.
Sunday afternoon the King and
Queen Contest was held. Miss
EUeen Durkln, TSA Senior, and
Mr. Bob Trojan, MT Senior, were
the winners for the 1962 Winter
Weekoid. At 3:30 p.m„ quite sad-
< ly, we started packing and by 4:15
the buses left for Aggleland.
This year's trip was a very
enjoyable one, and I'm sure that
all who wentwiU undoubtedly agree
Two Long Island residents have
been appointed to tiie faculty of
our State University at Farming-dale.
They were recently chosen
by the President of our college.
Dr. Laffln.
Robert Charles Boch of Little
Neck has been appointed Assis- '
in the Mechanl-
Department. He
succeeds Professor Charles Dia-mond
who retired last December.
Mr. Boch comes to SUATI's cam-pus
fron Sperry Gyroscope where
he was assistant metallui^sL A
graduate of Newtown H i ^ School,
he received his Bachelor's de-gree
in metallurgical engineering
at Brooklyn Polytechnic Instilute
where he is completing his re-quirements
for his Master's de-gree.
Tuition i m Of current interest to t h e faculty and students at State University,
is the tuition proposal which is now under consideration. The proposal
which has been constructed involves the following: -
I. Suggested tuition of $150 per semester, $300 per year.
The elimination of laboratory fees.
A reduction in the c o l l i e fee.
A uniformity of activity fees. A maximum of fifty, dollars was
cited. This point has received great consideratioi^ by the student
representatives. They feel that a maximum should not be exacted
in this propos^. . JH ^ ^ !
A tuition charge of $300 should reduce the activity fees. This was
justified by thbffact that Sute University4ntends to subsidize svth
areas as'Health Services, S^ieak^s Bureaus, and other cultural
programs, ' ,
A specjialtclause withregardtowaiving tuttlwi "for certain students
is exp^ted to be incorporated.
The maximum charges for the student would be approximately:
$300 tuition, $kD activity fee, and $25 college fee.
An autqmatip, reduction will be affected under the Scholarsh^)
Incentive Program. Each student will receive a minimum of one
hundred dollars, depending on family income. This; will apply, only *
to residents New York State. The Scholarsh^) Incentive Pro-gram
was Justified by two points: (1) provides more working
captial for State University, (2) and provides an equal level for
imblic and private college stud^ts.
This plan will nbt idter Sute ai^oprlations.
Each c ^ e g e will reUin at least ninety per .cent of the fees
V collect^T^So^ monies wlU be directed towards the support of '
state-wide lactl^ties.
II. The siq;)port oi d "sensible Intercoll^late Athletic I^ngram" was
cited as being beneficial^
12. The tuiticm fees ^ e expected to inq>rove the educational program
at the colleges,
13. Non-residents of New York Sute will pay the tuition fee in addition
to the fees they are now paying.
14. This proposid will apply to Liberal Arts students, which means
a reduction at Harpur and Long Island Center.

D.H. Seniors
Practice Teocliiiig
On December 14 and 19 some of
tiie dental hygiene seniors panici-pated
in a practice teaching pro-gram
which was conducted in the
Wyandanch school district. This
program was arranged by the De-partment
of Dental Hy^ene and
Mrs. Ellison, Ae dental hygienist
in the Wyandanch schools.
During the first quarter of this
year the senior dental hygiene sen-iors
took a course in Methods &
Materials. The main purpose of
this course was to teach die pro-spective
dental hyglenlsts the ways
in which to teach dental health ed-ucation
both in the schools and in
private practice. As part of this
course each student was required
to prepare a lesion plan wb^h
was geared to a (mrtlcular gride
level. The teachl^ of the lesson
plans was optional. However, many
of Ae students, who plan on work-ing
in a school system vpoa grad-uation.
took advantage of this op-portunity.
Half of the giris partic^tlng
in this program tau^t while the
other half observed their class-mates.
evaluation sheet was
filled out on each girl who tau^t
both by die teacher and die class-mate
who was observing her. It was
hoped that the students would leam
from this constructive criticism.
A*follow-up program is planned
for the early part of February,
at which time dioee students who
observed will teach. The purpose
of this follow-up program is to
determine whether or not the stu-dents
rettined the material
discussed in die previous lesson.
NO tuition diis September, the reason being that they do not want to
impose tuition on students who are presently enrolled or affect the {dans
of students who already have been acc^ptkl for September. There is,
dierefore, no definite date when this jflan will come into effect. At
present, however, die consensus seems to be diat September 1963 will
bring the Initiatlcm of the new system.
The Sute U. Board of Trustees has determined that diere will be no
diange in the policy aa tuitioD for the academic year beginning in Sept.
"TUs determination In no s ^ s e represents a deviation from the views
and principles on tuition policy in public h l ^ e r eAicatlon institutions
as set forth in the Addendum to the revised Sute U. Master Plan,"
according to the sutement Issued by the trustees. "Adequate advance
notice will be ^ven later this year as to the effective date of a new
policy on tuitlcm and fees."

Committee News
Dining Hall
Recendy, the Dining Hall Com-mittee
has handed out Dining Hall
reguladons. This has been done
as a reminder of the rules, since
student condiK:t has necessitated
the strict enforcement of rules
such as cutting in line and pro-per
dress.
The next International J4ight be-ing
sponsored by Dining Hall Com-mlttee
is to follow the German
theme. It Is hoped that the date
will be set for the last of Jan-uary.
The only threat to a suc-cessful
evening is the lack of stu-dent
backing.
The lack of members has be-come
a great problem to Dining
Hall Comm. and it Is hoped that
some Freshman and Seniors will
answer this plea. For all those
interested, meetings are held ev-ery
Monday night at 6:00 p.m. in
Nassau Hall Lounge. We hope to
see YOU there.
