Re: New York Power Authority Energy Savings Programs
The City University of New York Central Office has requested that Baruch College
participate in New York Power Authority (NYPA) energy savings programs during
the summer months of 2003.
The Emergency Demand Response and Peak Load Programs, which are part of the
NYPA energy saving initiatives, facilitate the management of the aggregate electrical
demand of its customers at times of system-wide peak loads. This is accomplished
by volunteer discretionary load shedding, which is the practice of turning off and/or
shutting down unnecessary equipment. Nonessential equipment are categorized as
lights, computers, printers, copying machines, escalators, elevator banks, and air
conditioning.
There will be 15 days of load shedding during the months of June, July, August and
September 2003. Advance notification from NYPA will be given one (1) business
day prior to the scheduled event day and an alert will be issued two (2) hours before
the actual process begins on the scheduled event day. On the event day, the load
shedding period will range from a minimum of two (2) hours to a maximum of six (6)
hours (e.g., 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. or 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) During the load
shedding period, all nonessential electrical consumption equipment must be turned
off or shut down.
Please note that escalator service in the Vertical Campus will be turned off and
elevator service will be limited to one (1) car at each elevator bank during the load
reduction period.
If you have any questions or require further information, inquiries may be directed to
the Office of Campus Facilities and Operations at (212) 802-2770.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.
Remember, the energy you save today is the energy you use tomorrow.

Greetings! The first summer term is underway: classes have met in the
Subotnick Center, Reuters Workshops and Federal Reserve Board Special Live
Events are available for your students to attend.
The next Reuters I workshops are on Monday, June 16th at 1 P.M. to 2:15
P.M., 4:25 P.M. to 5:40 P.M. Reuters II workshops are scheduled on June
18th at 1 P.M. to 2:15 P.M., 4:25 P.M. to 5:40 P.M.
Also on June 18th, two workshops requiring Reuters I and II as prerequisites
are scheduled: Technical Analysis from 2:25 P.M. to 3:40 P.M., Futures &
Options from 5:50 P.M. to 7:05 P.M.
As always, we are happy to host your classes here and teach your students
how to use the software, enabling them to do homework assignments that you
create (with/without our assistance), or use existing accounting, economics,
or finance homework assignments we have loaded on all the Trading Floor
machines here.
Custom classes tailored to your specific requirements are our specialty;
examine our web page: www.zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/sfsc
As many of you know, the Subotnick Center is the best educational trading
floor on the planet. We have worked hard to make it so, yet many graduating
students wonder why they did not have more classes here; schedule your class
sessions and correct this issue.
No other college has student and faculty access to Reuters, Bloomberg,
TradeStation, First Call, Rina Systems, TradersGame and a host of other
professional software on so many computers. There are 38 Terminals on the
Trading Floor that can accommodate 80 students, a seminar room with all the
software loaded on the lectern/projector at the front of the room, and a 22
machine Development Classroom with live prices available on TradeStation
software. Simulated trading is a snap.
I teach Macroeconomics and my students have every class on the Trading Floor
using live prices, live economic data, live news, as well as historical
prices and economic data. If you see my class, or any other regularly
scheduled on the Trading Floor, we will move. Simply contact us to schedule
one or two class sessions on the Trading Floor.
Talk to you soon!

Christopher Ruemke

College Now hosts scholarship event at Baruch
On Tuesday, June 17th at 7:00, College Now will be holding its third annual Myself
Third Scholarship Award Ceremony. The Myself Third Scholarship was established
by CUNY in tribute to the altruism of those who participated in the rescue effort
following the World Trade Center tragedy. The purpose of the program is to
encourage and reward the civic involvement of high school students.
The scholarship program will award $2,500 each to 14 high school students. Of the
14 students receiving scholarships, five of these students will be attending Baruch
College and one of these students will be attending Baruch Honors College in Fall
2003.
Baruch College Now invites you to join in honoring these students on June 17, 7:00
- 9:00 in the Vertical Campus, Room 14-220. If you are interested in attending,
please RSVP to Jennifer Lee, Coordinator of College Now at 646.312.4295 or
[log in to unmask] by June 16.

Online courses in CUNY central listing (DLN)
As most of you know by now, CUNY has a centralized web-based catalog of all
online courses offered throughout the University called the CUNY Online Distributed
Learning Network (DLN). Developed at the urging of the Sloan Foundation (which
supports CUNY Online), it's designed to give students (as well as faculty) interested
in online instruction a one-stop spot for online offerings in CUNY. You can view it at
http://www.dln.cuny.edu/.
The information in the DLN comes from the faculty themselves who enter their
course information. If you will be teaching an online course in the Fall of 2003 we
would like you enter the information in the CUNY DLN. You can enter your course
information at http://www.dln.cuny.edu/courseform.html. An online course is defined
as one where at least one third of the course takes place online. Please fill out the
form as fully as possible. Because we rely on faculty to take a self-reporting
approach, some inevitably give more and some give less. A little clicking around in
the DLN should suggest that this is one proposition where less is not more. The
more information you can provide, the better.
If you have any questions, please contact Marios Koufaris, the Baruch CUNY Online
liaison at [log in to unmask] or 646-312-3373.
