CORRECTION TO THE A E & E SPRING 2008 CALENDAR
FACILITIES OPERATIONS UPDATE
In a continued effort to provide the campus community with a better level of service, Facilities Operations is implementing a revised Work Order Priorities List. This list will be used to “classify” all work requests within an appropriate time frame allowing Facilities Operations to better schedule and plan work assignments as well as increase their level of customer service. Work requests will fall into 5 possible categories (Emergency, Urgent, Routine, Project & Preventative Maintenance) and will be reviewed daily by Facilities Operations personnel. Work requests will be evaluated, scheduled and executed based on priority, availability of materials and personnel. To review the Work Order Priorities List please go to the “Home Page” of the Campus, click on the drop down arrow next to “Quick Links” and choose “Maintenance requests”. Here you will find the Facilities Operations web page also known as “Facilities Operations iServiceDesk”. Once there select “Policies” to review this list as well as other Facilities related information. As a reminder Facilities Operations recently implemented an online work request program. To view this site follow the same directions as listed above. This site is used to submit maintenance work requests directly into the Facilities maintenance system. Once at this site select “Submit a Request” to process a work request. These requests are then reviewed and resulting work orders are created and prioritized. This system allows the customer to track and account for Work Requests\Work Orders and will help to facilitate better customer service. All service requests including maintenance, custodial, event support and building energy management requests should be processed through this website. Notification is sent back via e-mail to the requestor regarding the status of their request(s). To help ensure that this program works effectively we are asking for the support of our customer base, the faculty, staff and students of SUNY Oneonta. Our goal is to provide the best service possible to all users, meeting or exceeding their expectations. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us at 436-2254. Again your support is greatly appreciated.

UUP EVALUATION: ASSESSMENT OF ADMINISTRATION
All members of the UUP bargaining unit should have received the survey: Quality of Professional Life & Administrative Assessment, last week. The evaluative instrument, with minor modification, is the same as the ones employed in the past; this will allow for comparison with previous evaluations of the senior administration. As before, those evaluated include the president, vice presidents, and deans. To facilitate analysis of results, a random sampling process will be incorporated into this survey to enhance its validity. The confidentiality and anonymity of participants in the survey will be protected. Do not lose the survey forms as each individual will receive only one copy, thus ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of participants and their responses. The survey is not lengthy but consists of several pages to allow for electronic reading. Completion of the survey will take only a few minutes. If you cannot fairly answer an item, mark the “Don’t Know” choice. Use a #2 pencil to complete the statistically based portion of the survey as this will facilitate electronic tabulation of results. Do not remove the staples or otherwise damage the top edges of the sheet so as not to compromise machine reading of the completed survey. In addition to the statistically based questions, UUP encourages you to submit free response comments for those senior administrators that you evaluate. Please type these free response comments on separate sheets of paper. Do not include any remarks that might identify you in your free response comments. Keep in mind that UUP will tabulate and disseminate the statistical and free response results of this evaluation of the senior administration. After completing your evaluations, return them by intercampus mail to the UUP office, 206 Human Ecology by Wednesday, January 30.

CONCERT SERIES BEGINS - JANUARY 29 & FEBRUARY 4
The Hewitt Pantaleoni Memorial Concert Series will open the new semester with a pair of identical programs in Goodrich Theater on Tuesday, January 29 and Monday, February 4, both beginning at 7:30 p.m. Anthony Cicoria will be making his public debut as composer and pianist on these programs. A board-certified orthopedic surgeon, who lives in Oneonta, with his practice in Norwich, Dr. Cicoria is Chief of the Medical Staff at Chenango Memorial Hospital and Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopedics at Upstate Medical Center, in Syracuse. In 1994, while speaking on a public telephone during a family outing near Albany, he was struck by lightning and survived a near-death experience. Shortly thereafter, from 'out of the blue' he developed an insatiable desire to hear and to play the piano. Around the same time, music started coming to him in dreams, some of which ultimately formed the core of the compositions that he will perform on the programs. After attempting to teach himself to perform and compose piano music for three years, he came under the tutelage of pianist Sandy McKane, who is a music faculty member at Hartwick College, and she remains his teacher and mentor today. Tony's experience has been widely reported, largely because of the writings of Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and author of numerous books on the functioning of the human brain. Last July Dr. Sacks wrote an article, A Bolt from the Blue, for the New Yorker Magazine, in which he first reported the phenomenon, and that article became the basis for the first chapter of his current best-selling book Musicophilia. Utilizing a lecture-recital format, Tony will premier three original compositions, one of which is dedicated to the memory of his friend John Lusins, MD. Film crews from the BBC, Granada Television (also based in the UK) and German National Television (sharing footage with Austrian and Swiss National TV) will be in attendance at the January 29 performance, as all three networks are planning documentaries on Dr. Sacks, including his work with Tony Cicoria. A post-concert reception, sponsored by the President's Office, will also be held on January 29. Admission to both of the concerts is free, but seats must be reserved, on a first-call, first-served basis through the Goodrich Theater box office, at x3100. The Pantaleoni Series, now in its 11th year, is presented by the College and the Catskill Conservatory, with assistance from the New York State Council on the Arts. Additional information is available from Carleton Clay, Music Emeritus, at x3419.
YOGA AND MEDITATION CONTINUES - JANUARY 30
The Yoga and Meditation Society will start its Spring 2008 Semester with a public lecture by Ashok Kumar Malhotra, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor and Chairman of the Yoga Society. His lecture on Yoga as the Art of Sculpting the Body, Heart and the Mind will take place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 30, at the Multicultural Center, Lee Hall. The lecture will be followed by a demonstration of physical, breathing and meditation exercises. The public will be encouraged to participate. Dr. Malhotra, who has just published his new book on Instant Nirvana, Second Edition and the first issue of the Yoga and Meditation Now: An International Journal on Health and Wellness will summarize the most recent research on the effects of the regular practice of meditation on the health and well being of a person. Malhotra will speak on how the state of personal stress leads people to look for a quick fix. To reduce this imminent tension, they look towards yoga and meditation as their panacea. Their flocking to the yoga and meditation centers is understandable. The practice of yoga and meditation that used to be the playground for the rich and famous has simmered down to the level of ordinary people during the last 17 years. The results they found are of enormous importance for the stressed out members of the society. A plethora of research studies conducted by the researchers indicates that the regular practice of meditation results in the reshaping of the brain so that it could handle stress. Meditation on a regular basis helps slow down and eventually shuts down the influence of the conceptual part of the brain, which in turn offers the individual the freedom to pick and choose new responses to the existing situation. Moreover, meditation helps break the conditioning determinants of the society by relaxing their hold on the person. Regular practice of meditation assists the practitioner to concentrate on the present without worrying about the past. By minimizing the effects of the past conditioning of the society, the individual then is able to relax and enjoy the present moment with full intensity. Studies have also shown that when people meditate for ten to fifteen minutes on a mantra or concentrate on breathing or the diaphragm or silence, they experience relaxation and a sense of well being unparallel to any state of relaxation they felt before. The lecture, which is free to the students, faculty and the general public, is supported by a grant from SUNY-Oneonta. For more information, contact Ashok Malhotra, Chair of the Yoga Society (607-436-3220). Please mark your calendar for the upcoming events: Wednesday, February 6 - Satellite Conference on Contemplative Practice in Diverse Cultures and Traditions; Wednesday, March 12 - Douglas Shrader, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor speaks on Music, Mysticism, and Meditation.

UUP LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AND LUNCHEON/CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - FEBRUARY 12
On Tuesday, February 12, UUP will host a Legislative Luncheon with members of the New York State Assembly at the Legislative Office Building, Albany. The Luncheon will signal the start of UUP’s 2008 campaign for a strong SUNY budget. More Academic and Professional lines do not happen because of wishful thinking — nor do salary increases. UUP advocacy is essential for transforming aspiration into reality. Oneonta chapter members will join sisters and brothers from other UUP campuses throughout the state for the Legislative Luncheon. Beyond its importance in articulating SUNY funding needs, UUP’s Legislative Luncheon is an opportunity to learn about New York State government. Thus, in addition to chapter members, UUP Oneonta will invite a select group of student leaders to the Legislative Luncheon. UUP members are urged to volunteer to attend the Legislative Luncheon. The Oneonta delegation to the Legislative Luncheon will depart from the front entrance of Hunt Union at 7 a.m. sharp and return to campus in the late afternoon. Transportation and lunch will be provided. To facilitate planning, e-mail Bill Simons at simonswm@oneonta.edu if you will be attending the Legislative Luncheon. Advocacy for a strong SUNY is not spectator sport.
