The Academic Senate at its meeting on February 8, i960, adopted the following recommendations of the Academic Council: Compulsory ROTC training to "be continued a. Proposal on the Reserve Officers' Training Program. The present basic Reserve Officers' Training Program shall be made voluntary not later than September 1961 with the provision that a one-term university course designed to acquaint the student with current national and international aspects of political-military affairs be organized under the supervision of the Educational Policies Committee and be required of all entering freshman male students except those who have completed their military obligations or who are citizens of foreign countries. Michigan State University has had continuing contractual relationships for offering ROTC on a compulsory basis for all able-bodied freshman and sophomore male students who are citizens of the United States, and on a voluntary basis for juniors and seniors (since the separation of the Air Force into a separate service, similar arrangements have been in effect with the United States Air Force)• Since these original agreements were made with the United States Army upon the authority and with the approval of the Board of Trustees, action by the Boai-d is required to effectuate the change recommended by the faculty. Mr. Stevens moved to approve the above recommendation of the Academic Council that the ROTC program at M S.U. shall be made voluntary not later than September 1, 1961. Mr. Vanderploeg seconded the motion. i Each member of the Board spoke at length and in turn on his views and the reasons why he had arrived at his individual decision. When the question was asked for and the vote taken, it was recorded as follows: Yes - Messrs. Stevens, Vanderploeg No - Dr. Smith; Messr. Harlan, Huff and Merriman b. Provost Miller was requested to report on the progress being made in the direction of improving the quality and content of existing ROTC courses. He reported that very real progress is being made and that concessions have been made both by the Army and Air Force, authorizing the substitution of classroom instruction by regular members of the faculty for some of the course work previously given by military personnel. ; On motion by Mr. Vanderploeg, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was unamimously voted to express the appreciation of the Board for the progress being made in reviewing and re-examining the instruction in ROTC; and the Board expressed itself as urging that everything possible be done to improve the ROTC courses in order to bring them in line with sound academic and educational policies. The Board urged Michigan State University officials to use their best influence to expedite improvement in content in the ROTC programs and indicated an interest in a more detailed report of progress at the next Board meeting. 3* It is recommended that Gordon Sabine, Dean of Communication Arts, who for the last year has been in charge of student admissions and scholarships, be designated Vice President for Special Projects, effective May 1, i960.

April 21, i960 4297 _,. m 1^-3 r" *_- |P~ rTrr'; 6. The following communication has been received from Paul Bagwell: It has long been my contention that every citizen has a duty to participate in political affairs and to offer himself for public service. The strength of a democracy, I believe, lies in the willingness of people to assume responsibility for the functioning of the many processes of government. There is no greater exercise of this responsibility than to seek public office from which one may serve his fellow citizens in the conduct of public affairs. I Leave of absence with- out pay granted Paul \ Bagwell beginning May 1, i960 In the past, I have asked for and been granted two leaves of absence from my duties at Michigan State University in order to offer myself as a candidate for public office in Michigan. The fact that the University has authorized these leaves of absence is, I think, a reflection of an enlightened attitude toward participation in public life. I am again requesting a leave of absence, beginning May 1, i960, to seek public office in Michigan. ^ The work in my Department is up-to-date and the heavy load of processing scholarship applications for the academic year beginning next September has been completed. If there are any questions about this request for a leave of absence, I shall be glad to answer them. On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve a leave of absence without pay for Mr. Bagwell beginning May 1, i960, for an indefinite period. 7- The Committee on Student Affairs recommends that each undergraduate student be required to report his or her correct address at the time of registration each term. • This must be the actual place of residence. If any change in residence is made during the term, a report of the new address must be filed promptly on forms available in the Housing Office under the Office of the Dean of Students. Failure to report the actual residence address, or a change of address, or registering an address which is not the studentfs actual place of residence is cause for cancellation of registration. The Registrar will permit a student to complete registration only after he has furnished a local address. Undergraduate students requ±ed to report his or her correct address. On motion by Mr. Hairlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 8. The Eugene C* Eppley Foundation, Inc., of Omaha, Nebraska, has negotiated a contract offering to grant to Michigan State University $1,500,000 for the construction of a building to house the Graduate School of Business to be known as The Eugene C* Eppley Center for Graduate Studies in the Service Industries. This building is to be located adjacent to the Floyd W.. Owen Graduate Center and situated between the Center and Shaw Dormitory on the north side of Shaw Lane. It is understood that eventually additions to, or other buildings housing the College of Business and Public Service are to be located adjacent to this site between this building and the river. Acceptance of !$1,500,000 from Eppley Foundation £or construe « Grad. School of Business The University agrees to provide the furnishings for this building and the landscaping and site work about the building, and to acquire the furnishings and complete the landscaping in accordance with the general plan reviewed by the representatives of the Eppley Foundation to be completed at approximately the same time as the building is completed and ready for use. This is estimated to be in the fall of 1961. On motion by Mr* Huff, seconded by Mr. Stevens, it was voted to accept this grant from the Eugene C. Eppley Foundation, Inc., and to instruct the officers of the University on behalf of the Board to express appreciation to the Eppley Foundation for this grant. .33EW BUSINESS Resignations and Terminations Resignations •1.
