On motion of Miss Jones, seconded by Mr. Armstrong? it v/as voted to approve the above item, 4* At the last meeting of the Board it v/as suggested that the President prepare a policy statement governing particixoation by employees in political activities* On notion of Mr. Brody, seconded ^oj Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve the following statement pre- pared l^j the President: The State Board of Agriculture recognises that political affairs and issues are of real import and concern to members of Michigan State College staff, as they are to other citizens in our democratic society. Because of their special background and qualifi- cations, Michigan State College faculty members have an important contribution to make in bringing their knowledge and abilities to bear on political problems of national and local significance. A member of the staff may become a candidate in a non-partisan election for an office of a temporary nature* such as membership on a municipal charter revision commission or as a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention, or as a member of a local school board? and such candidacy will not require a leave of absence from the State Board of Agriculture. Howeveri Michigan State College faculty members are requested to take cognizance of the fact that the public does not always dissociate the private views of faculty members from the official position of the College itself. It is considered inimical to the best interests of the institituion that Michigan State College be identified with partisan politics, in view of these considerations, it is requested that staff members who desire to take any active part in partisan political campaigns or to interfere directly in-parti- san issues obtain a leave of absence without payi or resign their positions. It is the intent of this policy to safeguard the freedom of speechi thought, and action of staff personnel and to avoid the impairment of the significant contributions they are capable of xoaking towards the definition of political issues and the solution of political problems in a democratic manner. 5* Report on the employment of the Commonwealth Associates of Jackson as Power Plant Consultant to make the study of our power plant needs and operations as authorized at the last Board meeting. Mr. E. ^. Parkinson was invited to meet with the Board at lunch time and presented a preliminary report. Commonwealth Associates recommend as a minimum program the construc- tion of an adequate smoke stack adjacent to the new power plant at an estimated cost of S86,OOO and the installation of new coal handling equipment at that plant at an estimated cost of $50»000. As an alternative the most desirable long-range program would include the relocation of the coal storage piles to a point several hundred feet south of Shaw Lane and the installation of an overhead continuous coal moving system. If it is desired to clean up the appearance about the old power plant* the installation of covered bunkers and a new coal handling system there could be installed at approximately $50*000. Mr. Parkinson pointed out that there was. certain delayed maintenance at both plants that should be taken care of at this time. iteport on employment of Common- wealth Asso- ciates and approval of certain of their recom- mendations • On motion of Mr. Mueller? seconded by Dr. Smith* it was voted to authorize the President * Secre- tary and Comptroller to proceed to make effective the minimum recommendations of Commonwealth Associates including the construction of the new smoke stack and of the coal handling equipment at the new power plant with the coal pile to remain at or near its present location and the neces- sary delayed maintenance items* - this work to be carried out under the supervision of Commonwealth Associates. The Commonwealth Associates are to be employed to supervise these installations and to advise with college employees in the development, operation and maintenance of the steam pro- duction and power generating facilities and in the distribution of stean and electricity. 6, Discussion of the developments in connection with the editorial in the Michigan State Hews with reference to the American Legion.
