Area Students to be Featured on Local Television By AARON KREIN Arts Editor The Saint Rose campus will serve as the host for Channel Albany’s “A Light Jazz Christmas Yuletide Celebration” special airing in December. Donald Hyman, American Studies professor and adjunct, is the head of the show “Albany Tempo Spectrum,” which has put this special together for the past six years. After years of shooting the special in a studio, he decided to move the taping of the set to the Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary on campus. He was looking for a place filled with the communityfeel to enhance the program. With the help of Joan Horgan, Director of Campus Ministry, this special is being brought to fruition. “The campus itself represents a diversity of beliefs. People cel-

We wanted to get those perspectives too.” The special is formed around the idea of “home for the holidays,” and Hyman is dedicated this year to getting the student’s perspective. Students from local middle schools, high schools and colleges will be involved. Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza are among the multiple holidays that will be showcased in the special to show the diversity of the Albany community. Students from SUNY Albany will also be involved and Congressman Paul Tonko will close out the program Continued on A3

While 13 RNs, LPNs and other medical personnel staff the five-
bed medical clinic on a full-time basis, medical professionals from the community, along with their assistants, make regular—sometimes weekly—visits to the Institute to provide services, exams and treatment. “We have a dentist who comes in on Fridays, a primary care physician every Thursday, a gynecologist every other Tuesday, a psychologist every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and an optometrist once a month on Wednesday morning,” said the clinic’s medical secretary, Su-
zanne Casazza, ticking off the list of professionals who visit the Institute. Clinic services are available for the residents, day service participants, preschool students, and staff at the Institute, she said. The Institute provides a variety of educational, vocational and community-based outreach programs for troubled teenaged girls. “Many of these kids have behavioral problems,” said Casazza. Residents come to the Institute through court placement or as a Continued on A3
