Due to our relative youth as a comprehensive Liberal Arts and Sciences College and our geography, I think Plattsburgh State is a well kept secret, much more than it ought to be. This is a first rate college. - Dr. Charles Warren n October 19th, the Cardinal Yearbook focused on Dr. Charles Warren, the new President of our college. His accessibility and straight forward an- swers made our staff happy with our choice. Dr. Warren ' s background amply qualifies him for the position. He was born and raised in Blue- field West Virginia, located near the Southern Appalachian Mountains on the border of Virginia and West Virginia. In 1957 Dr. Warren enrolled in Virginia Tech. as a freshman majoring in Biology and minoring in Math. He stayed at Virginia Tech. for his masters. In 1963 he moved to Gains- ville Florida where he studied for three years at the Universi- ty of Florida and received his PHD from the Botany Depart- ment, majoring specifically in Microbial Physiology and Bio Chemistry. After spending thirteen years at a Liberal Arts College in Memphis Tennessee, Dr. Warren, in 1979, came to Platts- burgh State as the Dean of Arts and Sciences. He spent three years here at P.S.U.C. and went on to become the Vice-President of SUNY-Cortland. When the Presidency was vacated here at Plattsburgh this past year he was defi- nitely interested. His high regard for our faculty, staff, stu- dents and overall community made coming back an easy choice. I asked Dr. Warren his opinion of upstate New York and he replied, If you had asked me ten years ago what I thought of upstate New York, I would have replied like a typical provincial southerner and said, ' Upstate New York, is that just outside of New York City? ' . Now I ' m a fan of New York State. It offers a great deal in terms of natural beauty and cultural opportunities. Plattsburgh is a special place and I am very glad to be here. Dr. Warren has been a full-time administrator for 10 years. Up until this year he ' s made it a point of engaging in some kind of teaching, Because it ' s important to know why we are shuffling all that paper. In his last year here he taught a 4 hour laboratory in Plant Biochemistry and Physiology. Dr. Warren also had some words of wisdom for our students. Overall, I feel that our students are fairly serious about their undergraduate endeavers. I think that we still have some who might not be as focused academically as they should be. I am very interested in conveying to them the notion that we are going to have high academic expec- tations. Our programs are going to be increasingly academi- cally rigorous, but, within the context of a supporting, car- ing environment. He added, Our students are here as consumers and they want the very best that our faculty can offer them. With great re- spect for our students, I want more of them to be- come academically fo- cused early on. That doesn ' t mean ' Don ' t have fun ' , because many of the most valuable learning ex- periences will occur out- side of the classroom. During Dr. Warren ' s first year as President he has had to deal with a recurring problem, more specifically, the parking problem. He fefl This is a problem faced by every University President in iff country. I am very pleased with the systematic way it ' s bef approached here at P.S.U.C. We are probably 250 to 4 spaces short, but steps are already being taken to resoi this problem. As a long-term plan, the most optimal solulii would be to construct a parking building over an alrea: existing parking lot. All possibilities are being explored Dr. Warren has also had to face some new controversy like the condoms on campus for communicable disectf prevention. He reflected, In a position like mine I think y have to step back. You ' re certainly concerned about yo individual moral outlooks, but you should be very ctf cerned about the reality of public health. A student fac ty staff committee has been organized to assist me on t issue. He added, This will bring an opportunity for strong educational program about AIDS, what it is and wlr can happen if we are not thoughtful of its existence. ! Outside of academics, Dr. Warren is busy circulatl around the school and community, getting to know eveii one. Some of Dr. Warren ' s hobbies are watching sporg i cycling, jogging, reading, and gardening all year round, and his wife Nancy have been married for over 27 yeajj They have two children, Greg and Andrew, both enrolled Plattsburgh High School. Dedication and hard work are vital for a successful Pre! dency, says Dr. Warren. At the closing of the interview, I Warren added that, The odd idea of having summers oil exactly that, an old idea. This is a full-time job for Charles Warren, twelve months a year. Denis DufresJ 18 Prologue
