S i -i % VOLUME X III NUMBER 1 THE STATE UNIVERSITY MARITIME COLLEGE NEWSPAPER n OCTOBER 1960 NUCIEAR CURRICUIUM Ililsfall, a new course of stucfy in Nuclear Science has been started for the cadets of the Maritlnae College, This course is the culmination of several years of stucfy by menabers of the fecuUy both in dividually and in committees. MARITIMI COLLEGE SCIENCE BUILDING PLANS BUILDING Construction is expected to begin this winter on two new dormitories and a mess hall on the site of Newport Field at Fort Schuyler, The State Darmltory Authority has approved preliminary plans for the three million dollar project which will Include three hunched two-man rooms, adequate recep tion, lounge and recreation facili ties in two dormitories. The mess hall will contain ship’s store, snack bar, barber shop, and mail center and include space for foul weather musters. The accompanying (diotogra{A was made from an artists concep tion of the drawings of the archi tects, BaUard, Todd and Salbbe. Buildings will be oi red brick. Limestone columns will be used on the mess hall and limestone trim on the dormitory windows. Target date for completion is September 1961. In the Meanwhile, the Cadet Corps of six hundred is quartered aboard the EMPIRE CTATE rV at the College Pier. Future plans aim for the con struction of a technical building for labs and workshops and a physical education building includ ing swimming pool to be erected on the site of the old dormitory buildings. The College is now formulating plans far a new three-story science building, according to Dr. M.ti. Degani, head of the Science De partment. If all goes as planned, architects will be commissioned to start the intial drawings in April, 1961. The present area now available for science has long been inade quate. With the acquisition of new equipment it is expected that at least 22,000 net square feet of space will be needed in the future., TTiis need for room will be amply provided in the newbuildng, wdiich is to be combined with a modern gymnasium. The area on the roof will be utilized fc»- meteorology, ocean ography, and astronomy labora tories. In the new buildng, it is planned to include Freshmen and Sopho more Physics and Chemistry lab oratories which can handle a full •ectioi at onetime and make teach ing more efficinet. SUB-CRITICAL REACTOR The program was put into Rnal form in Spring of .1960 and was unanimously approved by the facul ty. portant, for it gives the student a practical as well as a theoretical knowledge of the subject. The nuclear program will place iHS: s,» *» »♦ -A 'A NUCLEAR REAC Nuclear courses as electives have been part of the Maritime •curriculum since 1951. The re cent addition of a sub-critical reactor, a simulator and other re lated equipment to the advanced idtysics laboratory has made it possible for the college to offer a program in Nuclear Science. The nuclear laba:at<H-y is im- OR SIMULATOR special emiAasls on training men for the operation, design and con struction of Marine nuclear power plants. The nuclear program will be Identical for students during the third and fourth class years. At the end of the third class year, a student will have an option at switching to the nuclear program or remaining with Marine Engineering. ARCHiTEaS SKETCH OF NEW DORMS \ STATE INSTRUCTOR TRAININGPROGRAM' State University has instituted at the M aritime Col lege a pilot p rogram to give future college instructors an opportunity to begin their teaching careers under the guidance of faculty m em b ers. Three interne-instructors in English and histoiy- economics who have completed at least one year of graduate stuffy have been appointed for tw o -year term s . They will teach a reduced load and will m eet frequently with senior m em b ers of the Department of Humanities for sem inars on classrqom and profes sional subjects. A senior m em ber of the Department will assist each interne in the preparation and con duct of his courses, and a record of h is teaching ex perience will be prepared for inclusion in his p e r sonal file at the end of h is appointment. The interne- instructors are Joseph R. De Sousa, A. B. Hofstra, M.A. Rutgers; Stephen S. W eidenbomer, A.B. P rince ton and a candidate for the Ph.D. at New York Uni versity; and Henry M. Rouse, A.B. and M .A , Duke. S k t t c h t on now tooefcors on page 4 DR, MEIR H . DEGANI A large lecture room with a capacity of approximately 200 will also increase efficiency. This lec ture room will be used by all de partments. The building will also house ad vanced laboratoreis in: Physics, nuclear science, metallurgy and Power Plant with adjoining rooms for polishing specimens and pho tography. It i further hoped that a digi tal computer will soon be acquired by the College and there will be special rooms in the new build ing for housing the computer t be used by students of mathe matics. Several research and project rooms will be available for staff and students in which to pursue projects. ■J 4
