HOWARD SAMUELS DR. MAYNARD KRUEGER the Civil Rights Struggle and its significance for students. The war in Viet Nam and United States military power were discussed by Hanson Baldwin, military editor of the New York Times, in a convo- cation before the student body. mR OH The political scene in New York State was brought to the attention of students when Howard J. Samuels, ° a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, appeared before the newly organized Political Discussion Group and answered questions about his campaign. On the local level, William Burns, former mayor of Binghamton; Louis J. Casella, Public Defender for Broome County; and Henry Baldwin, Chairman of the Broome County Board of Supervisors, discussed their professions with students. ee The significance of the improved quality of speakers lay not only in the information they had to offer, but also in their ability to stimulate thought and discussion in those students who heard them. Whether or not students agreed with the opinions expressed by speakers and whether or not they lived up to expectations, they were important be- cause they offered students an opportunity to ana- lyze critically the presentations by these men and to JAMES FARMER DR. SAMUEL B. GOULD judge them according to their performances rather than their reputations. Student interest in local, state and world problems was not confined to the classroom or the visits of professionals. A feeling of responsibility in con- troversial issues was manifested in student interest in the practical and moral aspects of the United States position in Viet Nam. The establishment on campus of a branch of the World University Service (WUS) indicated student concern and $700 was raised for a mimeograph center for students in Huy, South Viet Nam. eo Socially, too, Broome Tech took a large step for- ward with the institution of the Artist Series which sponsored the appearance of Buffy Sainte-Marie. The New Christy Minstrels performed during Spring Weekend, and Si Zentner’s Orchestra played for the dance the night before. The advances of the past year are not ends in themselves. Nothing is perfect which is static. This book is meant as a record of the things which have taken place during the past year. It records the changes that have occurred, with the hope that these changes will not be the last. With progress comes the responsibility to continue the trend pointing toward more and better changes in the future.

THIS WAS BROOME TECH IN 1965-66 HANSON BALDWIN , 7 = A Year of Progress — — Academically, Physically, Socially JUDGE WHITING WORKING ON EXPANSION Progress has been the hallmark of the past year at Broome Tech. Advances were made in almost every aspect of campus life—physical growth, academic and social improvements coupled with a broader awareness of world con- flicts which will have so much significance for this generation of college students. Perhaps the most apparent change on campus was the beginning of construction on a new library, parking lot and temporary building. The temporary building will include two new classrooms, a typing laboratory and faculty offices. These projects will enable Broome Tech to admit more students. Progress, then, has been made in the quantity of facilities available to students. eR Another change took place on campus—less definitive, perhaps, because its effects were not as immediately apparent—but at least as important as the growth in size Broome Tech experienced. This was a qualitative advance. Students were offered an opportunity to extend and improve their range of values and experiences. Dr. Samuel Gould, President of the State Univer- sity of New York, visited the campus for the first time. James Farmer, head of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), delivered an address on
