By GEORGE DALEK NEWS EDITOR Nine University faculty members were awarded endowed profes­ sorships in recognition of their scholarly achievements and teach­ ing abilities in the fields of accounting, history, music, gerontology, psychology, engineering, chemistry, and computer science. Univesity President Leland Miles introduced the new endowed chair holders to students assembled at Mertens Theatre for the Uni­ versity’s opening convocation last Thursday. The endowed chairs, named for special donors, provide the faculty members with a stipend (a fixed or regular payment), which depends on the size and terms of the original gifts. The nine faculty members were recommended by a faculty com­ mittee and the Deans’ Council. Awarded chairs were: Noble D. Cook, history; Andrew Demotses, accounting; Mark Edinberg, gerontol­ ogy; Alberta S. Gilinsky, psychology; Roger S. Pressman, computer engineering; Robert Preston, music; Dhwanwant S. Sethi, chemistry; Igal Staw, biomedical engineering; and Boris Verkhovsky, mathe­ matics. “Today the nine new chairs awards bring the total to 28, making UB one of the few universities in the country to have such an exten­ sive program in recognition of faculty achievement,” said Miles. Three University professors were awarded endowed chairs last May at the University’s commencement exercises. They were: Christopher Collier, history; Martin Margulies, law; and Richard Allen, literature. At a press conference held last Friday, Miles stated that before he reactivated the endowed chairs program in 1976,15 of the 28 chairs had lapsed. He said that it took most of 1977 to straighten out the accounting system and most of 1978 to draw up policy guidelines. This year a faculty recommendation committee was assembed and the first three new chairs were awarded at commencement, accord­ ing to Miles. He also announced that four more chairs would be awarded by September 1980. While some chair holders are senior scholars with established records of achievement, Miles has added a new concept of three- Nine faculty members honored at the Convocation ceremony last Thursday.

One of the matters discussed was the University’s collabora­ tion with Housatonic Com­ munity College and the possible state relationship forseen in the future Miles added that the Uni­ versity position paper on the collaboration has been released to the Connecticut Community College Board and will not be publically released until after the board has had a chance to respond. After the Community College Board has responded, Miles added, we will have to wait for the approval of the Board of Higher Education. Another matter Miles discus­ sed was the energy crisis. He said that last year the University was able to reduce fuel con­ sumption 18 percent. He added that the University will have the fuel conservation program this year. The special possible state relationship was another topic of conversation. Miles said that the University has “no desire to be part of the state system.” What the relationship would be is something similar to the colla­ boration between Penn State and Temple University. As a part of this, the Univer­ sity is trying to move toward a sense of community. He added he is hopeful that the recreation center will “pull the institution together.” As a part of this sense of com­ munity, Miles reminded those present that the New England Association of the National Edu­ cation Association will be com­ ing here in late October to deter­ mine whether the University as a whole will be accreditated.

Director Peter Yates and screenwriter Steve Tesich try to synthesize slick commercial entertainment with a deeply felt con­ sciousness. The attempt is gallant, if not altogether suc­ cessful. For the most part “Breaking Away” is a sincere, but uneven film about people and winning. Basically, the plot concerns a group of recent high school graduates coming to grips with adulthood. The four youths put their dreams to test in the "real world” of Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University. The viewer is immediately made aware of the overblown animosity between the college students and the townies. Dave (Dennis Christopher), the group’s featured character, dreams of racing with the Italian bicyclists. Mike (Dennis Quaid) yearns to maintain his high school quarterback status, but is jealous of the collegiates’ su­ periority. The follower of the group, Cyril (Daniel Stem), only wants to continue with life as it Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stem, Dennis Christopher and Jackie Earle Haley in “Breaking Away,’ currently at the Merritt Cinemas in Bridgeport and at the Fine Arts Two in Westport. comes. Finally there is Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley), a veritable doned quarry. Cyril is beat up mother’s seduction of the emptiness at its center.
