SUNY-ONEONTA LAUNCHES PUBLIC RADIO STATION FOR ONEONTA
The College has launched WUOW-FM 104.7, a public-radio
affiliate, non-profit, commercial-free radio station to serve the
College, City and Town of Oneonta. Developed by the College in
collaboration with the City of Oneonta and the leadership of Mayor John Nader, the Town of Oneonta and the leadership of Supervisor
Duncan
Davie, The Daily Star, and WKTV television, WUOW will be a designated
Emergency Broadcast System station with independent power to provide
vital information in times of crisis. WUOW will also offer regular
programming of local news, information, and national public radio
programming. The station, which will broadcast 24 hours per day and
seven days per week, will be dedicated to local coverage. As a local
Emergency Broadcast System outlet with emergency back-up power from the
College's generators, WUOW will provide reliable communications to the
area in times of crisis, a critical need that was evidenced during the
devastating floods of the summer of 2006. The participation of the civic
leaders of the City and Town of Oneonta will ensure that the station can
be relied upon for accurate information. The station's affiliation with
The Daily Star will ensure that residents have round-the-clock access to
the broadcast of local news, weather, and information. As a National
Public Radio affiliate, WUOW will expand and enhance access to
top-quality national and international news, opinion, music, and
educational programming. As a local station, it will expand access to
information about community, educational, and cultural events. Because
the station will be broadcast from SUNY-Oneonta, it will also offer
students practical, hands-on educational experience in mass
communications. The College will use its facilities, expertise, and
personnel to support the station as a service to the Oneonta community.

COMMITTEE ON RESEARCH SEEKING APPLICATIONS FOR
GRANTS
The Committee on Research is soliciting applications for the Student
Research Grant Program for Research and Creative Activity. Individual
awards will be limited to a maximum of $1,500. Allowable budget items
might include art supplies or film, computer tapes or disks, minor
pieces of laboratory equipment, chemicals, specimens, expenses for
reproducing materials, and travel expenses to museums, libraries,
research sites, or professional conferences, as they are necessary to
the student's participation in the project. Awards will not be given for
equipment that can be met by other campus resources. Proposals, which
bring students together with new faculty members, are especially
encouraged. Projects which are novel, unique, and initiated primarily by
students have priority over those which are largely continuations of
ongoing work previously funded by the committee, although the latter is
recognized to have significant value and will be considered. The
deadline for proposals is Monday, March 12, at noon (27 Bacon Hall). For
further information, contact any member of the Committee: Daniel Payne ( paynedg@oneonta.edu)

WOMEN’S AND GENDER STUDIES BROWN BAG LUNCH - FEBRUARY 19
Bring your lunch and join Women’s and Gender Studies on Monday, February
19, at 12:00 noon in 318 Milne Library. Stephanie Bennett,
Sociology,
will present: Have we really come a long way? Looking at the difference
in gender expectations in the Future Kids of America Study 1976, 1996,
and 2004. This presentation looks at what changes have occurred over the
generation within High School seniors perceptions about family gender
roles. The study uses data from the Monitoring the Future surveys from
1976, 1996, and 2004 in order to see if there has been a change over the
generation in perceived gender roles within the family. The year 1976
was chosen as it was the year of the women. The years 1996 and 2004 were
chosen as two time-periods that look at children that may be children of
those who graduated in 1976. The expectation is that there should be
generational changes in gender role expectations from the students of
1976, as the students of 1996 and 2004 were children who were brought up
during a time were exposed to widespread media coverage of the women’s
issues.

family leave for SUNY employees and of sensitivity to family issues by
employers. Questions and discussion will follow. Although Food for
Thought has important content, it is also an occasion for respite from
the workweek, relaxed collegiality, and fine food. Renew old ties and
forge new ones by joining your colleagues in convivial gathering and
expression of solidarity. For additional information or questions,

CONCERT SERIES CONTINUES - FEBRUARY 20
The Hewitt Pantaleoni Memorial Concert Series will continue on Tuesday,
February 20, with a performance of the "musical entertainment"
Facade,
by William Walton, composed on poems of Edith Sitwell. The program,
which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Sanford Auditorium (IRC, LH#3), will feature
world-renowned soprano Mary Burgess, with a group of artist-faculty
colleagues from SUNY-Binghamton. Among that 6-member group will be
SUNY-Oneonta's own Ben Aldridge, who is a longtime Instructor of Trumpet
at Binghamton, and it will also include former SUNY-Oneonta faculty
member Timothy Perry, who is now Chairman of the Binghamton Music
Department, on clarinet. Ms Burgess will actually be appearing as a
"reader," or "reciter," following Sitwell and Walton's conception of and
directions for the piece. Composed in 1922, long before Sitwell became
"Dame Edith" and Walton became "Sir William,"
Facade is built around a
group of primarily abstract poems, which Sitwell has described as
"studies in word-rhythms and onomatopoeia. Walton, who was only 19, and
a recently "failed-out" student from Oxford at the time, composed a
group of pieces heavily influenced by jazz and other "popular" musical
types, set to Sitwell's often-incomprehensible spoken words. At the
premiere, which took place in London before about 20 people, Sitwell,
who was acting as the reader, and who was notoriously shy, declaimed the
words from behind a painted curtain, through a Sanger phone (a type of
megaphone) projected through the curtain. From those humble beginnings,
the piece has become one of the most beloved curiosities in the musical
world. It was especially popularized in the United States by the late
conductor Arthur Fiedler, through his many performances of the work with
the Boston Pops, and probably the best of the many recordings of the
piece feature the late actor (and serious amateur musician) Tony
Randall, with that orchestra. The Oneonta performance of the work will
be immediately preceded by a brief introduction by Binghamton faculty
member William James Lawson. As with all programs on the Pantaleoni
Series, it is free and open to everyone on campus and in the community,
with neither reservations nor tickets required. For further information,
please phone Carleton Clay, Producer of the series, at x3419.

REMINDER ON POSTING GRADES
Federal law (FERPA) prohibits posting grades using student names and/or
identification numbers. However, it is permissible to post by code name
or number (not the Oneonta I.D. number, social security number, or any
part thereof) agreed to by the student and the faculty member. Wherever
you post grades, please scramble the names on the roster before
assigning codes so that the list does not reflect an alphabetical
listing of your roster. It is also against FERPA regulations to leave
students’ graded work in a general pick up area. Graded course work must
be returned individually to students. Please be aware that under no
circumstances may a listing of student names and ID numbers, or any part
thereof, be posted for any reason. Violations of this law can result in
termination of Federal funding to the college. Questions regarding the
privacy of student records should be directed to Michael Pastore,
College Registrar at x3216 or pastorma@oneonta.edu.

CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the College on surpassing its goal of raising $10 million by its conclusion on June 30. As of February 1, Changing Lives Since 1889--the five-year campaign for the SUNY College at Oneonta--has received gifts, grants, and commitments totaling over $10.5 million in support of the College. Since the campaign's launch in 2002, donors have established 50 new private scholarships for deserving students at the College. The College now has 154 named scholarship funds. This year, the College will make 800 scholarship awards with a total value of $1.25 million. Ten new scholarships have been created since October. Just over 18% of College at Oneonta alumni made gifts to the College in the past fiscal year. The College has the highest percentage of alumni participating in giving of any SUNY college and ranks fifth nationally among all four-year public colleges participating in the 2005-06 Voluntary Support of Education survey, according to the national report compiled by the Council for Aid to Education. The national average for four-year public colleges is 6.7%. The College has set a goal of reaching 20% alumni participation by the end of the campaign. Through gifts and grants already raised during the campaign, the College's total endowment has topped $30 million. Endowment earnings support scholarships, student-faculty research, lectureships, academic facilities and programs, and other initiatives at the College. Led by alumni co-chairs Robert and Sheila Sheridan Striffler of New Canaan, Connecticut, the campaign focuses on four areas: scholarships for deserving students; unrestricted endowment to provide the College the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities and direct funds where the need is greatest; a science initiative to support equipment, training, and facilities in the sciences; and the Milne Library to support instructional and research resources. The campaign is coordinated through the College at Oneonta Foundation, a non-profit organization that facilitates charitable giving to the College and manages the College's endowment. Dr. Kenneth Kellerhouse '57, '60G, an alumnus and emeritus faculty member at the College, serves as President of the Foundation Board of Directors. Established in 1982, the Foundation uses sound fiscal policies to invest and allocate assets. More information about the Changing Lives Since 1889 campaign and the College at Oneonta Foundation is available from Paul J. Adamo at x2535.
Congratulations to Ashok K. Malhotra, Philosophy on recently completing his ninth book, "Wisdom of the Tao Te Ching: The Code of a Spiritual Warrior." Published by Oneonta Philosophy Studies, the 81-page book is a transcreation of the Chinese text of the Tao Te Ching composed in 400 BC by the sage/scholar Lao Tzu. As a doctoral student at the University of Hawaii, Dr. Malhotra studied the ancient text under the tutelage of Professor Chung-ying Cheng. Dr. Malhotra has taught the book to undergraduate students in his philosophy classes at SUNY-Oneonta for 35 years. His transcreation uses easy-to understand language that is accessible to a general audience. "Wisdom of the Tao Te Ching" offers guidelines for living a simple, contented life in tune with nature, covering themes such as simplicity, forgetfulness, the inner force, balance, beauty, human foibles, helpfulness, and service. The original Chinese text is the third most translated work after the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. In 1992, Dr. Malhotra served as a scholar-consultant for Warner Brothers and transcreated several passages from the book for the television series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues."
FACULTY/STAFF ACTIVITIES
Izabella Lokshina, Management, Marketing and Information Systems, published a refereed paper titled "Performance analysis of mobile communication networks with clustering and neural modelling" in International Journal of Mobile Network Design and Innovation, Volume 1 - Issue 3/4 - 2006, by Inderscience Publishers. International Journal of Mobile Network Design and Innovation is a professional journal affiliated with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). The design of a wireless network, be it a MANET or a cellular mobile system, plays a role beyond just the transfer of voice and data traffic from point A to point B. There is a societal implication for a given network's design that impacts the users, the network providers and the governmental planners. Izabella Lokshina's paper examines the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) core network model and evaluates performance of priority-based dynamic capacity allocation, suitable for the wireless ATM systems. The clustering procedure for the performance analysis of the mobile communication networks and the blocking probability and throughput measurements are introduced as Markov reward models enhanced with vector quantification and neural modeling. The optimal link occupancy probability distribution is determined using neural network that was trained on the base of Kohonen rules.
