Volume 8, Number.1 College At Lincoln Center. Fordham University, New York August 25-September 9,1986 NYU Administrator Named Associate Dean By Mary Kay Linge ~1 A year after it was vacated,the post of associate dean at the College at Lincoln Center has been filled. Dr. Edward Bristow, one of 200 applicants, was chosen to replace Dr. Robert Turley, accord- ing to a July memorandum from CLC Dean William Tanksley. Bristow received a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1970, after earning a B.A. in economics from Franklin and Marshall College and an M.A. and M.Phil, in history at Yale. He has taught history at Trinity College, New England College, and New York University as an Instruc- tor and an Assistant and Associate Professor. Bristow has also served as Program Officer for the New York Council for the Humanities. His most recent position was at NYU as Aca- demic Affeirs Associate, where he spent two years. "I was part of the general administration of the school, working in faculty development and grant management," Bristow said. "Of course, I'm ex- pecting things to be different here-NYU has 45,000 students, while CLC has about 3,000-but I tended to work with the same group of people DR. EDWARD BRISTOW there, so it might not be as big a change as I'd ex- pect." In addition, Bristow has published two books on sparked his, interest in his new position. social history: Prostitution and Prejudice: The Turley, who died last summer, was one of the Jewish Fight Against White Slavery, 1875-1939 and main developers and administrators of the Mellon Vice and Vigilance: Purity Movements in Britain Project.

They also got academic counseling, ad- vice from upperclassmen, a chance to pre-register and the opportunity to meet each other in an unusual way, according to Assistant Dean of Stu- Supreme-ly Upset dent Affairs Normand Parenteau. The Student Affairs Office ran the orientation program for the first time this year, after the death of Associate Dean Robert Turley, who was once responsible for it, allowed the program to "fall by the wayside," Parenteau said. With the held often student volunteers, whose recollections of their own freshmen orientations helped to shape the agenda, about 150 traditional day students were in- vited to attend three sessions at the end of July. "When you're doing an orientation, you have to remember that these people can still change their minds. We still have to sell the school to them," Parenteau said. A primary goal was to encourage the new students to feel comfortable with the school and each other. To do that, each session began with an ice- breaker, a game in which a list of one-line descrip- tions is completed with names of people in the group. "After that, everyone was much more re- laxed," said student worker Robin Maston, "It really helps if you know a little about everyone, even if it's just their name and where, they're from or whether they watch David Leltenmm" Tiira late, another worker, agreed, "Without (the iccbreakcr|, everyone would just sit around and stare. ..but after Ihey knew cuch other, Ihcy weren't so embarrassed and that encouraged them to ask questions." "We wanted to cinphasi/c nil the services that arc available to students," Parenteau said. "Some people can go here for four years and never realize what kind of tutoring or counseling is here for them." Representatives from Student Affairs, Just nnother Lincoln Center Out-Of-Doors event?
