Boger, Dean of the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, made opening remarks concerning the importance of the Agricultural Experiment Station to the University, the state of Michigan, the nation, and the world. jactivities of (Agricultural {Extension iStation j j Dr. Sylvan H. Wittwer, Director of the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station, began the presentation with an overview of the goals and accomplishments of the Experiment Station j as well as some of the challenges which it faces in agricultural research. He indicated I that the Experiment Station still has as its number-one research goal the efficient j production of food and fiber. Another important concern is the whole area of land use in Michigan and the entire nation. He pointed out that another research goal is greater \ utilization of agricultural byproducts, industrial bypc:ducts, municipal byproducts, and j food processing byproducts. He stated that the Experiment Station is also concerned with j integrated pest control and pest management in Michigan. He added that as we currently j hear of the energy crisis in America, the Experiment Station is concerned in terms of \ reducing the energy requirements of modern agriculture. Dr. Wittwer mentioned that the I Experiment Station is deeply concerned with finding ways that modern agriculture can live in harmony with the rest of society in terms of food production systems as well as environmental impact assessments. He concluded his overview by pointing out that the Experiment Station was deeply concerned with maintaining the integrity of the land-grant university system in America. j; He then began a brief slide presentation on some of the problems facing American agriculture and what the Agricultural Experiment Station is doing to help find answers. He stressed the use of space-age technology in assessing environmental impact and land use. He also paid tribute to the research work conducted in cooperation with MSU which has resulted- in a vaccine against Marek's disease in chickens. He indicated that this has been one of the most important agricultural developments in recent years. He added that the vaccine may well have application to.research in the treatment of cancer in humans. Dr. Wittwer discussed the production of corn in America, mentioning it as the number-one . | crop in the nation and a very important one in Michigan. The Agricultural Experiment Station has been concerned with the production of hybrid corn which can resist corn blight .j j MSU has also been involved in the development of corn high in protein which has an j important impact in feeding swine. Dr. Wittwer indicated that high protein corn has great implications for corn diets in parts of the world where protein deficiency is quite | j common. He added that work is currently under way to develop a corn plant which is j shorter, with vertical upright leaves, improved light receiving systems, and which can ] be planted in very high plant populations. •] He also indicated that the Experiment Station is involved in developments and improvements\ in the wheat industry in Michigan with a special interest in wheat processing problems. J j MSU is deeply committed, along with a cooperative effort of education, government, industry, and agriculture, to the control of the cereal leaf beetle. He added that work j is under way to develop a variety of Michigan winter wheat which is resistant to the j cereal leaf beetle. Research is also under way in the area of biological controls. Dr. Wittwer discussed MSU1s research in Michigan's large apple industry which resulted in an important development of apple; trees which produce fruit very early in life. He added that major research discoveries in Michigan and in the nation have occurred very rapidly; most of them during the current generation. He cited the important development of improved carrot production through the introduction of hybrid carrots developed at MSU. He added that the Agricultural Experiment Station has a long legacy in agricultural research and that this legacy has continued up to thecurrent time with the major work going on at MSU in' the area of pesticide research. He indicated that the pesticide research program is a good example of interdisciplinary support with three MSU colleges and some 25 academic departments working in the program. He also mentioned MSU's work in the development of polution-resistant trees for use along highways and streets. He briefly reviewed the assistance the Experiment Station has given Michigan's cherry, pickling cucumber, grape, potato, food processing, beef, dairy, and sheep industries. Following discussion by several members of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Wharton stated that within any kind of dynamic structural change in the American society, there has never been a fully successful effort in eliminating temporary human distortion and frictions that occur in adjustments to technological change. He indicated that this is particularly true in respect to outward migratory pressures placed on agriculture as a whole, whether farmers or workers. Minutes of the Informal Meeting, continued March 15, 1973 Activities of Agr. Exp.Sta., cont. | Dr. Wittwer concluded his presentation by noting that the salvation of the United States I is going to depend on food production in the future and that there is a need to identify I whatever might be considered prime agricultural. land. He added that the question of land I use in our society is really one of the most important issues facing us in the future. I Dean Boger added that he sees MSU becoming heavily involved in the issue of land use from j an educational role. He stated that the time is past due for Michigan to develop a | comprehensive land use policy. I The Board of Trustees thanked Dr. Wittwer and Dean Boger for the presentation and President | Wharton adjourned the Informal Meeting.

The depth of the study, time schedule, and cost are contained in Mr. Brakeley's letter to Mr. Scott under date of November 21, 1972, which is on file in the Secretary's Office. 1973 salary increases discussed RESOLVED that Brakeley, John Price Jones Inc. be employed as fund raising consultants for the University, as recommended. Trustee Thompson's motion, seconded by Trustee Radcliffe, to approve the above resolution was approved by a vote of 7 to 1, Trustee Huff voting nNo." President Wharton reviewed the University salary increase requests, the GovernorTs recommendations, the legislative appropriations, and the actual University allocations over the past several years and requested from the Trustees preliminary guidelines for arriving at salary allocations for 1973-74. This year the University has asked for 10% and the Governor has recommended 4.4%. With the exception of the Fraternal Order of Policecontract, which calls for a 6% increase in the second year of a two-year contract, all labor contracts will be up for negotiation this year. Based upon labor settlements elsewhere, it now appears that labor will demand a minimum increase of from 8.5% to 11%. The faculty are concerned about (1) the erosion in their purchasing power as the result of their low salary increase last-year, and (2) their relative position vis-a-vis State employees at the present time. If the legislative appropriations follow the Governor's recommendation and if salary increases higher than the recommended 4.4% are to be awarded by the University, the administration will have to determine where savings are to occur, what reallocations of resources are to be made, if programs are to be phased out, and whether or not student fees should be increased. Trustee Carrigan responded that at the January retreat a general Board consensus had been expressed as to the essential efforts that would be required to maintain and encourage the maintenance of a high quality faculty. She also remarked that MSU faculty salaries do not compare favorably x- Robert L. Carolus 2.

Other Items for Action D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION 1 Departments of Racial and Ethnic Studies and Urb an and Metropolitan Studies est. 1. The Board action of May 19, 1972 approved the plans for the establishment of a College of Urban Development. Since that date a great deal of effort has been devoted to getting ready to accept the first students fall quarter, 1973. Considerable progress has been made in formulating for these two departments the areas of responsibility, the relationships with existing units in other colleges, and in identifying potential faculties and acting department chairmen. Also, during this period the broad outlines of academic programs which articulate effectively with existing programs have been outlined. Recommendations concerning the actual courses, who will teach them, and other details will move through the normal channels of academic governance. The Administration recommends that the two departments identified In the Board's action of May 19, 1972 be officially created by the Board. At the April Board meeting there will be a series of "Change of Status11 actions which will request official transfer to these units of the faculty members identified at that time. An acting chairman for the Department of Urban and Metropolitan Studies, Professor Wilbur Brookover, is recommended elsewhere for approval. RESOLVED, that the Department of Urban and Metropolitan Studies be established in the College of Urban Development, and the Department of Racial and Ethnic Studies be created jointly in the College of Social Science and the College of Urban Development.
