![As the semester comes to a close, Prof. Charles McClintock, policy analysis and management, and the College of Human Ecology's associate dean for state relations, will join students in their exodus from Ithaca Sunnier skies are ahead for McClintock, as he will leave Cornell to become the Dean of Human and Organization Development at the Fielding Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, Calif. "McClintock was instrumental in the formation of the Department of Policy Analysis and Management," said Francille Firebaugh, dean emerita of the human ecology college, in a press release. McClintock was involved with undergraduate and administrative services, graduate studies and research, she said. "He assumed responsibilities at critical times in the college and contributed greatly to the college's initiatives," she added. The Fielding Graduate Institute is a professional graduate school that offers programs in educational leadership, psychology and organizational studies. "I'm excited about Fielding's educational philosophy that recognizes the distinctive needs of adult learners," McClintock said. "Their approach is based on a scholar-practitioner model that emphasizes the linkage between learning and research, a community of students and faculty and flexibility of study within defined knowledge areas." In addition to McClintock's departure, the human ecology college will bid farewell to Profs. Donald Barr, policy analysis and management, Carol Anderson, human development, Lee Lee, human development, and Colin Campbell, nutritional sciences. Despite these departures, human ecology Dean Patsy Brannon remains optimistic about next semester. "We are very excited about the outstanding new faculty coming," Brannon said. "Our faculty recruitments will enable us to build in three strategic initiatives- health, life course and genomics- and to enhance our existing strengths in design and technology, nutrition, human development and social and economic well-being." In addition, the college will dedicate its new courtyard during graduation weekend. And, although behind schedule, the addition to Martha Van Rensselaer Hall will soon be completed. For the human ecology college's fellow statutory schools, the College of Agriculture and Life Science (CALS) and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), changes are on the horizon. Prof. William E. Fry Ph.D. '70, plant pathology, will become the senior associate dean of CALS in June. Fry will succeed Prof. Brian L. Chabot, ecology and evolutionary biology, who plans to continue his research in ecology. "Fry really understands the mission of our college in the fields of research, teaching, as well as extension. He has been at Cornell for his entire career and he was really recommended by everyone," said CALS Dean Susan Henry, who was a new addition herself this year. Henry also welcomes the formation of the environmental sciences major, which awaits approval for next year. "We expect that it will be approved by SUNY and the state within the next 6 to 9 months," said Prof. Susan Riha, earth and atmospheric sciences. The major's curriculum will integrate preexisting, cross-disciplinary courses, with a focus on biotic systems, earth systems, economic systems and social systems. CALS students will also benefit from the completion of the Mann Library addition while frolicking in its newly planted garden. "Not only will [the garden] look nice, but it can be used as an outdoor classroom for future classes to see how the site matures," said Peter Schrempf, administrative manager of Mann Library. The winds of change are blowing through ILR as well. The school will continue its expansion of the Catherwood Library in Ives Hall. The finished library will retain its original 43,000 square feet, but will hold many new and technologically advanced facilities. "The project is moving along as expected," said Allan Lentini, director of administrative operations in ILR. "We are [soon] hoping to provide more service to Cornell students with the latest in access to library information." The library will have larger reading rooms and a new reference and reserve area. New classrooms with distance learning facilities will be installed, though the University has yet to purchase the technology.

![After a stellar campaign that saw records fall and standards rise, the track and field teams look to conclude their season in optimum form at Heptagonals in Princeton, NJ. tomorrow and Sunday. The women's squad placed fourth at the indoor get together and is looking to continue the success outdoors. The Red is expected to finish somewhere in the top four, an elite group rounded out by Brown, Yale and Harvard. "It should be a real dogfight," head coach Lou Duessing observed. Cornell enters the get-together having enjoyed victory in all its outdoor meets this season. "Our performances outdoors are almost better across the board than indoors," Duessing noted. One of the highlights of the campaign was the Red's dismantling of Ivy foe Pennsylvania on East Hill, a performance that proceeded what Duessing calls the best team effort he has seen at the Penn Relays in his eleven year tenure. "I've never been more excited about a Heps than now," an exuberant Duessing proclaimed. The squad is expected to perform particularly well in the middle distance races, the relays, throws and long sprints. "We are going to be competitive in almost every single event," affirmed the head coach. Cornell's men's team enters the venerable engagement with similar fanfare. "With a good performance, we have a chance of finishing third," head coach Nathan Taylor remarked. For a team that has failed to finish to fail above 5th in nearly 15 years, this is a major accomplishment. As in years past, studs Princeton and Pennsylvania are heavy favorites. For the last twelve years the title has gone to one of the two schools. "This is a very competitive field," Taylor, the former headman at Pennsylvania offered, adding that the difference between Princeton, Pennsylvania and Cornell is minuscule. Taylor lauded several individual efforts. Sophomore Brett Coffing garnered praise for his runner up showing in the discus at the indoor Heps while junior Jeremy Blanchet was mentioned for his runner up performance in the hammer. Sophomore Scott Benowicz, who made his presence felt on the soccer field in the fall, enters the outdoor Heps third all time at Cornell in the javelin. "[Scott's] improved a lot this year," Taylor said. Senior Pete Ippel holds the school record in the high jump and is one of the favorites in the event. Ippel's teammate in the long jump, senior Nick Senter, is also expected to compete for a first place finish. The Red is expected to be solid in the pole vault where junior Scott Lundy will compete with freshman phenom Travis Offner. Offner holds the all time Cornell record in the event. Senior Matt Murman and rookie Rahim Wooley were also lauded by Taylor.Archived article by Gary Schueller](https://snworksceo.imgix.net/cds/aba6504c-f962-4656-8bd3-74e7f580fb6e.sized-1000x1000.?w=1500&ar=4%3A3&fit=crop&crop=faces&facepad=3&auto=format)
