HUGH MINES shares a light mo- with friends prior to delivering his inaugural address at Siena College Thur- sday. Father Hines is Siena's seventh president.

Siena's new president stresses dual identity LOUDONVILLE Siena College's dual identity as a liberal arts and a Franciscan college was emphasized by Rev. Hugh Hines Thursday in his inuagural address. The 44-year-old Schenectady native, who took office July 1, was inaugurated as Siena's seventh president in a ceremony a by representatives of more than 100 colleges and universities throughout the Northeast. Father Hines' inauguration was the highlight of the activities of Franciscan Week, which commemorates the 750th anniversary of the death of Francis of Assisi. He said one of his basic objectives is "a dedication at Siena to the liberal arts and Franciscan character." Siena is a i a educational and cultural, force "especially because of her stance of total commitment to the themes of human freedom, human responsibility and human dignity," Father Hines said.

"Siena has assumed and maintained this stance because of her deep roots in the liberal arts tradition roots going back over a thousand years," he said. Father Hines disagreed with those who doubt that liberal arts will help people get jobs. "A person, young or old, who can analyze problems, jwho a rhetorical irrelevancies, a person who can evaluate the worth of an argument, a person who can recognize confusion in others and who can evaluate the ethical implications of a course of action, a person who under- Water low in minerals best for plants LOMBARD, 111. (AP) Rainwater, or water low in minerals, is best for house plants, according to the Water Quality Assn.

"Of such persons, Siena College has been and continues to be justly proud, and even in 1976, especially in 1976, such persons are eminently worthy of the best employment," he said. Father Hines said there is both physical and spiritual hunger in the world, and "It is up to us to alleviate both hungers. Board of trustees chairman Peter Kiernan, who invested the new president, called Father Hines a Franciscan who is dedicated to the liberal arts tradition of Siena. "That dual dedication to spiritual and academic direction was viewed by the board of trustees as the fundamental requisite for all candidates for this position," he said.

"In Father Hugh's case, the fit was as natural as a glove." State spuds Europe bound ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) State officials say the U. S. potato market will be helped by New York Stale's exporting of a substantial part of its spud crop to Europe. "Our farmers are in a position to meet a demand in Europe at a time when they have a high quality, abundant crop, and I don't see it adversely affecting the consumer," Less Driggs of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets said.

He said that without the heavy demand from drought-stricken Europe, there would be a surplus in the U. S. and prices would plummet. Carey claims budget deficit ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) With state tax cuts an issue in some legislative election campaigns, the administration of Gov.

African Falcon stops in Waterford yard activist. The jury of six men and six women met for less than three hours Thursday before announcing at 4:30 p.m. they were retiring for the night. After meeting for little more than an hour Thursday they informed Superior Court i i a McLaughlin that they had questions concerning the testimony of two key prosecution witnesses, Robert Valeri and Michael Fleisher. Both men linked Susan Saxe by name to the 1970 State Street Bank holdup in which Boston Patrolman Walter Schroeder was shot to death.

The jury asked to hear the transcripts of testimony describing Fleisher's actions on the morning of the Brighton holdup. The questions indicated a concern by the jury with the credibility of the two witnesses, both of whom were indicted in connection with the same case. The Times Record plans advertising seminar WATERFORD A Waterford couple noticed an unusually large bird in their yard Thursday morning and ultimately helped return an African falcon to its owner in Massachusetts. Mrs. Caroline Luczkowec of 6 Craig Waterford, said, "I saw it outside my bedroom window.

It was making a louder noise than most birds usually make." As the bird perched calmly on a stump, she called her husband, Walter, and they summoned neighbors. One neighbor brought a book on birds and determined the falcon resembled a duck hawk. "We figured it must be owned by someone," said Mrs. Luczkowec, so the neighbors netted it without a struggle and placed it in a box with some meat. A conservation officer from the state, summoned to the home, returned the falcon to its owner, a Massachusetts conservation officer.

"It was kind of big for around here," said Mrs. Luczkowec, adding the bird displayed a three foot wingspan when held by the local conservation officer. "The best advertising i a ever attended."
