THE COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE ALBANY, NEW YORK
Mr. Neil HeUman, area businessmaii, recently named to the.
C(dlege Board of Trustees.
NeU HeUman, a natWe of
Albany, now resident of Boca
Raton» Florida, is a successful
businrasman and philanthropist
of whomit has boensaid that
did It his way.** RIsl way of course
has reflected one of the most
fruitful and successfrl busbiess
cweera.
Mr. Hdlman who started his
theatre career when he went to
work for his father in Albany,
was quick to spot the trend
toward less formal, suburban
theatres, and he built a successful
chain of them. He further
recogi^ed the trend toward
m o l^ in the Capital District
area;iuid built the second one in
the area, the ik s t to be aircondi-tioned,
when he built the
Ihntway Motels whicfa he later

innovation of drive^ntfaeatKS-on
the way, aiid iotroduced thtm to
the Attxany area.
Bfr. Heilman then became interested
in horse racing as a
hoite owner, which led him to the
business of breeding race horses,
his most famous of which was
“Linda’s Chief,” a horse he later
Study: Grade Inflation is
Cooling... But Temporarily
EAST LANSING, MI
(CPS)-Despite indications from
individual campuses that adm
in is tra to r s and fa c u lty
mem b ers a re su c c e s s fu lly
fighting grade inflation, a national
study of college grades just
released here contends that
grade point averages are not
declining at a very rapid rate.
Arvo E. Juloa, who conducts
an annual survey of grading
trends for Michigan State University,
says that while averages
may have stopped rising, they
may start going up again soon.
Juola’s report shows that the
national grade point average
(GPA) for fall, 1978-79 was 2.720,
compared to 2.719 the year
before. In 1960, though, the national
average was 2.28. “The recent
fall in GPA is minute in comparison
to the 14 years of rising
GPA,” Juola wrote in his report.
Administrators and faculty
members have long fretted that
i^ing grade point averages and
th e in c re a s in g ly -freq u en t
bestowal of academic honors
were cheapening the value of college
educations. A number of
academic organizations began in
1974 - the fU^t Juola studied
grade levels - to impose stricter
grading standards.
A College Press Service
repoi't of September, 1979 found
that the most common weapon
against grade inflation was the
a dm in is tra tiv e ly -m a n d a te d
grade distribution. For instance,
only a certain percentage of
students in any one class could
receive the top grade.
The results so far have been
mixed. The composite GPA at the
University of Rochester, for example,
fell from an astounding
3.0 in 1974 to an improved but still
amazingly high 2.9 in 1978.
N a tio n a lly , fre shm e n ’s
grades are lower. A January,
1980 UCLA study discovered that
nearly a third of last year’s
freslmen had GPAs at 3.0 or
under. That’s a minor increase
from 1978.
Yet grade inflation has remained
stubbornly on the rise on
some campuses. The University
of Arizona, which somehow
resisted ea rlier inflationary
‘ in ju r e s , records a student GPA
rising of 2.32 last year, up from
2.19 in 1974.
At the University of New
Mexico, the 1978-79 GPA rose to
over 2.45 from 2.43, despite what
one dean saw as a lack of
“evidence that the students are
studying harder.”
The inability of some institutions
to roll back GPAs has turned
MicMgan State’s Juola into a
pessimist. He believes GPAs nationally
may start befck up again
soon because faculty members,
under unprecedented pressures
to capture or hold onto the declining
number of tenured positions,
may tend to grade more easily
to hold onto students.
Neil Heilman:
New Member
of
Board
of
Trustees
sold for two million dollars.
Mr. Heilman who has always
been vitally interested and
generous to all ch a ritab le
organizations, expanded his giving
by the donation of $1.5 million
to Albany Medical College,
$500,000 to Albany Medical
Center, and $25,000 to the
facility’s nursing school. The
Medical Research Building of
Albany Medical College has been
named in his honor. These
monies donated by Mr. Heilman
have been desig n ated for
research, as he feels helping to
further medical research may
bring closer the answers of many
ni^steries. He hq)es we are not
far fro ^ Ending a cure to cancer,
and wouU h o ^ it could be at
Albany Medical Center. He has
plans for more, charity work,
most of which wULbeii the field
of medicine. '
Mr. Heilman is also an ad*
Junct trustee a t Rensselaer
Potytecfaoic Institute where he
has been trying to create a stu-d
^ . art t ^ t r e on-damtNis, «nd
he"^ has recently been named to
the Board of Trustees of The College
of Saint Rose.
He furth e r handles The
Heilman Family Foundation, ji
family owned tru s t, which
donates to various type charities.
Operation
LD .
Comes To
CSR
Music Competitioii Sponsored
by Public events Committee
by Debbie Bartell
Operation LD. is one of a
series of programs coordinated
by the New York State Office of
Q*ime Prevention. This statewide
effort is designed to
discourage burglary and theft
from homes and businesses by
engraving property with an easily
traced identification number.
To protect your valuables
with Operation I.D. you obtain
your own special two-part
number. One part of the number
identifies your police department
while the other part identifies you
as the property owner.
Operation LD. works because
it takes the profit out of
crim e and in c re a se s the
criminal’s risk of being caught
vdth p rq ^ rty that has been
engraved with the Operation LD.
n u n ^ r .
Items which are frequently
stolen and which you may want to
have marked include: stereos,
stereo speakers, televisions,
ty p ew r ite rs , m u s ic a l instruments,
radios, watches,
cameras, bicycles and jewelry.

Operation I.D., see your RA.
By Jean Pelkonen
Next semester, the Public
Events Committee will deviate
from its traditional form of paying
a weU-known speaker to come
and talk at the college, according
to chairman of the committee,
Dr. Stephen Hirsch. The committee
will try an interesting
alternative— a piano competition.
The reason for the switch is
because the speakers were
costing too much money. For example:
two years ago, David
Frost was paid $4500 to come and
talk for 45 minutes. Other
speakers available to colleges include:
Barry Conmioner at $3000
and Hugh Downes at $5000 plus
expenses. Dr. Hirsch explained
that by having a piano competition
the committee feels that they
will be spending the money in a
more moral fai^on and still continue
to get good publicity f (xr the
college.
In order to qualify for the
' contest, the entrwt must be a
high school junior or senior and
live in the ftrikming counties:
Albany, Columbia, Fulton,
Greene, Montgomery,
Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schohacie,
Sdienecta^, liai^Ungton, War^
ren, Bomfaigton, Vermont and
Berki^dre, Massachusetts. The
student mu^ pay afive dollar entrance
fee and must be a high
caliber student with NYSMTA
(New York State Music Teachers
Association) rating.
The initial audition will take
place on February 21 and ^ in the
music department. For these
auditions, the student m>ist play
one piece from each of the four
major catergories: Baroque,
Classical, Romantic, and 20th
Century. The judges will be from
the music department faculty.
Out of this initial group, three
finalist will be chosen.
On April 10, the final competition
will take place in Saint
Joseph’s Hall and will be free for
the general public. The three
judges who will decide the winner
will be: Hadassas Sah, a piano
teacher at Columbia University
and a pianist, Michael Campbell,
pianist from Mary Baldwin College
in West Virgina, and Sr.
Dorothy Flood from St. Rose.
Of course, the three par-ticipwts
who make it this far will
receive prizes. The third place
winner will receive $200. the
second place winner will receive
$500 and the first place winner
will receive a $1,000 cash scholarship
and will play the piano solo
in Beethhoven’s Choral Fantasy
with the AlbaiQT Symphony Orchestra
on May 2,1961. Thus, the
money spent by the Public
Events Committee is going bade
to the cmmnunity at the
same time is encouraging young
artists.
The concert is also a speeial
occasion for the St. Rose community
baeause The Choral Fanr
tasy is johitly commemorattng
dGSR*s gPth jjffiiiiFetaary and the.
Albany Symphony Ordiestra’s
50th anniversary. An added at^
traction is that our owa Masto*-
works win. be sin^ng a solo v. ^
in the Choral Fantasy.
Tickets for the performance
will be $4.00. This musical event
is co^jponsered by the Development
Office, the 60th Year Committee
and the Albany Symphony
Orchestra.

h e a ^ g performers, will present
their annual Holiday Show on

National Autistic
Children’s Week
Dateline: Albany, N.Y.,
November 1980. The New York
State Society for Autistic
Children announced today that
December 1st - 7th has been
designated as National Autistic
Children’s Week. There are between
9,000 and 18,000 persons
with this disability in New York
State. Many have been misdiagnosed
and inappropriately
served, therefore, they may
never reach their full potential.
Persons with autistic conditions
display severe handicaps in
conununication skills, social
relationships and behavior. More
than 90% of people with autism
are institutionalized by early
adulthood due to the severity (rf
this lifelong disability. Their fate
can improve once the public is
fully aware of the situations cui^
rentiy facing the autistic child
and his/her family, and once a
full range of appropriate services
are developed.
A large poster, announcing
Autistic Children’s Week will be
displayed in front of the State
Capital Building to remind
citizens of the disability of autism
and how it effects the individual
and his/her family.
The New York State Society
for Autistic Children and its thirteen
regional chapters serves as
a consumer oriented group of
parents and professionals committed
to advocated, plan and
develop services for autistic
children and adults close to their
home.

DON'T MISS THIS
Dear Editor,
It has come to my attention
that there are two very serious
problems on this campus.
Mainly-attack squirrels and attack
pigeons.
Picture this situation: It is
early Monday morning and you
are trotting across campus to
your 8:10 am when-out from
under the benches, from behind
the trees, from on top of Uie Activities
Center, squirrels and
pigeons (by the dozens) assail
your personage! Please don’t
misunderstand, it is not that I do
not care for these cute little
animals, but must they be so aggressive?
I believe they add a
certain degree of charm and
warmth to our campus, but
really-enough is enough, this
problem must be rectified. First
the Pine Hill Toucher and now
this perplexing situation, will our
campus ever be safe again?
A Concerned Student
Dear Editor,
You’re damn right we’re aggressive!
How pleasant would
you be if you had to feed on leftovers
that had been thrown into a
trash can God knows how long
ago? Oh sure, we get our weekly
dose of popcorn and beer every
Friday morning, but squirrel
does not live on junk food alone!!
It is a known fact that eating
large amounts of junk food leads
to increased hyperactivity.
I apologize, and I’m sure that
I speak for the pigeons too, for the
recent vicious attacks on innocent
students. Perhaps writing
letters to the editor will release
some of my built up tensions and
aggressions. Then again, is
anyone out there willing to donate
ludes to a worthy cause?

A double
Christmas
Tree Lighting
This Y ear
The Capitol will have two
Christmas Trees this year instead
of one. OGS Commissioner
John C. Egan announced today
that two trees have been selected
from Capital Distrirrt donors; the
State’s offical tree to grace the
front of the Capitol, the other to
be placed at the Empire State
Plaza.
The decision to erect two
Christmas Trees this year stemmed
from a desire to return to an
older tradition but at the same
time continue a newer one. In the
past the State’s offical Christmas
Trees had been erected somewhere
at the East front of the
Capitol, but with the completion
of the Empire State P la za that
tradition was broken in 1976 when
the place of honor was moved to a
spot near the Plaza ice skating
rink. The Senate and Assembly
however, continued their time

Golden Knights Return
For New Season
The question is, “Can the
Golden Knights repeat last years
excellent 23-6 season?" On paper
at least it appears that they can.
Coach Mike Long, into his
seventh season at CSR, has four
of last years starting five returning.
Mike Carr, who averaged
14.6 points per game, was one of
ttie l ^ t defensive players or the
team and also the NAC Tournament
MVP, is gone as is Otto Van
Ort, a quiet leader off the bench
who provided much of the spark
needed in a few clutch wins last
year.R
eturning are Tony Franks,
the area’s leading scorer at 22.3
points per game and last year’s
co-MVP along with co-captain Eli
Armstrong. Eli, in his fourth year
(rf basketball at CSR, was fourth
in the small college scoring race.
Co-captain Brian Beaury, a
junior, and junior Dan Levy are
returnees at guard. Brian is the
team's playmaker and floor
leader while Dan provides a potent
outside scoring threat. Tim
Wright, Jim Marsh, and Skeeter
Green are all returning for their
second year and all should see
considerable action.
The new faces on the team
are the keys to this year’s fortuned.
There are five of them, and
while all are new to Coach Long’s
offensive and defensive systems,
their contributions will become
evident very quickly.
Heading up the list is a junior
transfer from ABC, 6’4” Rick
Bousa. Rick was the area’s 5th
leading scorer at 18.3 points per
game and along with Franks and
Armstrong, gives CSR three out
of last year’s tq[) five. Also adding
more size to a CSR team
which for years went without is
freshman Tim Byrnes. Also at
6’4” , Tim will be counted on to
really help “bang” ttie boards.
Adding much quickness and
potentially g re a t defensive
abilities is transfer student Gary
Woodside. At 6’0” , from ABC,
Gary will be look^ to play at
guard and forward. Rounding out
the newcomers are guards Bill
Bucci and Steve Lynch. Bill is
from CBA but never played
organized ball. At 5’8” , he is an
outstanding shooter and will be
counted on to play at the point
and swing position. Steve, a
freshman, is impressive with his
court sens.e, quickness, and
defense and will also be counted
on at the point position.
Overall, the potential is there
for a repeat of th NAC title but it
is certain that other schools such
as Columbia Greene, Skidmore,
and Stevens have certainly Improved
themselves. The nonleague
schedule is also tougher
with away games v e rsu s
Castieton (NCAA Div. IH), St.
Joseph’s the Provider (NAIC), a
big home game against Division ni Norwich University (in town
to play Uni(m the next night) and
games with various four year college
junior varsity teams, a J
making the road to improving on
23-6 much tougher. However, if
the student support is there as it
was last year, it will make it a lot
easier and a lot more enjoyable.
Hope to see you all at the q ^n e r
(XI the 25th.
CSR Hoop Season To Open* A t Home on

The
Changing
Seasons
by Carolyn Ose
As our first few flurries of
snow mark the slow transiticm
between fall and winter, so too do
the last few weeks of November
mark the transition between f ^
and winter q^orts at CSR.
The fall sports season has
ended thus f v with our volleyball
team finishing its season with a
10-4 league record and finishing
second p lac e in the NAC
Volleyball Tournament. The soccer
team has completed the year
with a 4-8-1 record. CSR students
participating in tennis have concluded
their half season with a
women’s record of 1-2 and a
men’s record of 0-1. Lastly, our
brand new CSR swim team is
winding down its first season with
a final match to be held on
November 17.
“Swinmiing is definitely better
as a fall sport because of time
and scheduling,” says Teresa
Horton, junior a t CSR and
member of the new swim team.
“The school showed a lot of support
for the swim team during
this fall season and for our first
season. I think we did pretty well.
We worked mainly on individual
achievements and improvements.
Everyone worked hard,
and I think everyone was pleased.
While the fall sports teams
have been ending their season
this November with play-offs,
tournaments, and final matches,
the winter sports teams have
been beginning their season this
November with practices, scrimmages
and pre-season games.
So far in the pre-season
games, the CSR men’s basketball
team won two of the three halves
they played against Hudson
Valley and the Women’s team
also won its first scrimmage.
This winter’s CSR Cheer-leading
squad consists of 10 girls
and 1 alternate. Co<»ptain Laura
Armstrong, elementrary educa-fastbreak,
has developed her
shot), Mary Ellen Mueller
(known for her *Murph-shot’
from 12-15 feet out and tough
defense), and co-captain Lynn
Gallagher (hits from top of the
key, aggressive on defense).
Freshman Deann Greco will
bring strong ball-handling skills,
quickness, and a good eye to the
guard spot. In the guard-forward
positions are co-captain Mary
Broderick (accurate shot, good
ball-handling, strength and versatility)
and junior Mary Ann
Grennon (played guard at HVCC,
strong b^-handUng skiUs and
feel for the basket). In the forward
spots are Mary Delanoy
(has improved her shot, strong
rebounding skills) and Karen
Manor (a strong offensive &
defensive player, good all-around
skills). Alternating in forward-center
positions are freshman
Pam Bolen (aggressive on offense
and defense) and returnee
Mary Anne Chylinski (strong rebounder,
determined player, ag-greiuive
on offense and defense).
In the center spot is senior Terri
Deubel (leads team in rebounds
and has been working on her shot
and speed).
The team has a 26 game
schedule, playing in both the Northeastern
Athletic Conference
(NAC) and their first season in
Division m AIAW, and aniyicipate
defending tlKir title at the NAC
Tournament in February.

Soccer Round-Up
by Jean Pelkonen
If you noticed a change in the
CSR soccer team this year,
you’re right. This semester, with
a new coach, Bilike Riley, the
team ended with a 4*5 season with
one tie. Though the team didn’t
come out on the wining side on
the scorebooks, it did come out on
top in team spirit and emerge
with a new .a^tttiMfe towards
themselves.
Since there w m many new
faces mi this year’s teaoi, it took
awhile for the (dftyers to get
together and play as a team and
not as separate players. The
motivation that got the players
going was probably Coach
Riley’s attitude. He wanted a
team that went out on the field to
win, not just to have a good time.
With numerous pre-season and
season practices and work-outs,
he had the team functioning in a
more professional atmosphere
than la k year.
The turn around for the soccer
team came at the mid-point of
the season when they beat Bard
College 1-0. Though the team,had
been scoring in other games, they
would usually lose their momentum
and let the opposing team
dominate the second half. After
the win against Bard, there was a
victory against Bennington, 3-2
and another win this time against
Berkshire, 1-0. Hie next game
was against Skidniore College,
who k»t to 13-0 Uutt year.
This time the score was 5-2 Skidmore
but it should be pointed o a t
that until this g a ^ against CSR,
Skidmore had b ^ u n s c o ^ on.
CSR scored twice in the first half
and seiit the Skidmore team into
a serious half-time session with
their ^ c h . The next game vs.
Stevens College aided in a 1-1 tie
in overtime and the final game of
the s e j^ n was a 4-3 victory over ~
Green Mountain College.
- Congratulations are in order
for the soccer team for turning
themselves around this year and
for showing other schools that
they should be taken seriously.

tion major at CSR says, “There
are a lot of people on the squad
who are very inventive and full of
new ideas.” She is optimistic
about this year’s winter sports
season saying, “Having been on
the squad last year. I’ve experienced
the excitement of having
the teams which we root for
being the NAC Champions
“they’ve been the NAC Champions
for three years!” She adds,
“We had an excellent crowd last
year and I hope they come out
again this year in full force -
everybody and anybody!”
And so, amidst the changing

and we look
ahead with optimism to things
yet to come.
