Around the  campus:  A  weekly review 

Job  outlook  brightens 
Things  are  looking  up  for  job  - hunting  college  graduates  says  John  D. 

Shingleton, MSU placement director. 

"This  coming  year,"  he  predicts,  "will  be  the  best  in  the  last  three  years  for 

college graduates." 

His confidence, he says, is based on a number of factors: 
*Employers are  coming out from under the budget crunch. 
*The profit picture will promote expansion. 
*Mobility of employes  will reintroduce itself into the market. 
* Optimism will  prevail. 
Shingleton adds  that although  the business cycle is rebounding, there has been 

a lag in employment activity. 

"The economic  slip  bottomed out around  Mayor June,"  he  says,  "and it will 

take three to six months before employment activity catches up." 

"When  a  business  cycle  starts to turn upward,"  he  says,  "employment activity 
for  college  graduates lags  because  among  other  things,  employers  have  been used 
to getting by on a lean diet and this time around, unlike the short -lived upturn of 
the  late  60s, employers won't fully  commit themselves until they are  sure  this one 
is for  real." 

. Shingleton  reports  that  the  recent  crop  of MSU  graduates  is  faring  reasonably 

well in  the job market. 

A  preliminary  survey  indicates that  this  year's unemployment  figures for MSU 
graduates  are  running  slightly  higher  than  last  year's "but," he notes, "figures for 
1971  - 72  graduates  should  drop  as  the  economy  moves  through its  recovery 
phase." 

He  said  although  things  are  looking _ better,  "we  won't  approximate  the 

employment peak reached in  1969." 

'Ecology paper' available 

The University letterhead is now available on recycled paper. 
A limited  amount  of stock made  from  recycled  post - consumer waste  paper is 
now  available  for  departments  wishing  to  try  the  product.  Stationery  with  the 
UniverSity  and individual  departmental letterhead  is  provided  through  University 
Printing. 

Mark Rosenhaft,  director of MSU's Waste Control Authority, has urged campus 
offices  to  try  "ecology paper" as  a means of helping to stimulate paper recycling. 
(News· Bulletin, July  13). 

Grant supports urban  counselors 

Minority individuals from  disadvantaged  urban  background will  be  selected for 
advanced  training  as  urban  counselors  at  MSU  under  a  new  grant  from  the 
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). 

The  program  will  be  supported by NIMH  grants  totaling $414,152  over  three 
years.  The  intial  grant  of $284,552 was  accepted by the  Board of Trustees  at its 
last meeting. 

Thirty  fellows  wID  be  selected  during  the  first  year  to work toward an M.A. 
degree,  and five  of these  students will later  be  selected to work toward the Ph.D. 
degree in counseling during the last two years of the grant. 

The  program  will  include  counselor  training  courses  designed  to  prepare 
students to assist  people  of urban  areas  with their  unique problems, according to 
Bob  B.  Winborn,  professor  of  counseling,  personnel  services  and  educational 
psychology. 

He  notes  that  a  special  feature  of  the  training  program  is  instruction  in 
"systematic  counseling"  developed  by Tom S.  Gunnings,  professor and  assistant 
dean  of  student  affairs  in  the  College  of Human  Medicine.  This  approach  was 
developed to help people resolve problems created for them by "the system." 

Fellows  will  also  emoll in courses  that focus  on  the  psychology of urban  and 
minority  peoples;  on  conflict,  intervention,  and  social  change;  and  on  social 
development and inter - ethnic relations. 

Students in the  program  will spend approximately one - fourth of their time in 

practicum and internship. 

The  training  program is a cooperative endeavor of the Center for Urban Mfairs, 
Counseling Center, and College  of Education.  Faculty from  these three areas Will 
teach and supervise trainees.

Angus herd is a  winner 

Three  heifers  a!ld  three  bulls  in  the  UniverSity's  purebred  Angus  herd 
dominated  the  recent' annual  All  - American  Angus  Futurity  at  the  Keeneland 
Race Track, Lexington, Ky. 

MSU's  January heifer  was  Grand  Champion in her  class  and bested the Grand 
Champion bull to be named Supr~me Champion of the show. According to Harlan 
Ritchie, professor  of animal husbandry,  this is  only the fourth time in the show's 
history that a heifer won the Supreme Championship. 

Competing  with  200  head  from  25  states  and  Canada,  the MSU  entries won 
three  individual  classes  and  were  ranked  the  best  six  head.  Lowest  rank in  the 
team was fourth. One MSU bull was named Summer Champion. 

Managing  ground  water by computer 

Management  and  control  of both  present  and future  ground water  supplies is 

the goal of a ciVil engineering research project begun here. 

Davjd C. Wiggert, assistant  professor  of civil  engineering and researcher in fluid 
mechanics, has  received  a grant from  the U.S.  Department of Interior's Office of 

Water  Resources  Research to make a computer model of the ground water flow in 
the MSU area. 

Many  Michigan  communities  like  Lansing  and  the  University  are  dependent 
wholly  or  in  part  upon  underground  water  obtained  from  wells,  Wiggert  said. 
Regional  planning is  necessary  so  that  the  water - bearing level, or aquifer,will be 
conserved as a water resource . . 

Data  will  be  fed into  the computer  on  water table  levels,  pumping flow  rates, 
and  possible  recharge  conditions  including  natural  recharge  from  rainfall  and 
rivers, to determine the overall changes in the supplies at the water - bearing levels. 
The  Lansing  area has a surface  cover  of from 60 to 70 feet of glacial till, under 
which  lies  some  275  to  300  feet  of Saginaw  sandstone  which  is  the  source  of 
ground water for the primary wells of the city and the University. 

Below  the  Saginaw  sandstone  is  the  Michigan  limestone  which  has  water  of 

inferior quality and higher chemical content. 

Wiggert  expects to complete the study in about a year. His project is part of the 

overall work of the MSU Insititute of Water Research. 

Grdup  monitors health .at  the zoo 
An elephant's injured trunk ... malnutrition among turtles and hoofed animals .. 
. animal  diseases that infect zoo employes. These  are just a few of the Detroit Zoo 
problems tackled by a medical team from MSU and the Detroit area. 

The Detroit Zoo Medical Advisory Council is possibly the only one of its kind in 
the  nation,  says  Charles  F.  Reed,  associate  dean  of veterinary  medicine  and 
council chairman. 

In  1967, the  33-man  advisory council was formed to help the Detroit Zoo with 
its  preventive  medical  programs,  disease  and  injury  treatment,  autopsies  and 
nutrition programs, Reed explains. 

The  council  of veterinarians,  physicians  and  nutritionists  meets  four  times  a 
year,  but  has  continuous. special  projects  and  individual  research.  In  a  typical 
effort,  the  council  developed  a  nutrition  program that revitalized  the  coats, life 
expectancy and reproduction of the zoo's bison, wapita and  reindeer. 

Surgery  by  veterinarians  Hyram  Kitchen  and  D.  J.  Krahwinkel  saved  an 
elephant's trunk that  had been  bitten  by  another elephant.  Alld nutri tion  findings 
by  poultry  specialist  Cal  J.  Flegal  curbed  the  high  infant  mortality  rate  of  the 
rhea,  a relative of the ostrich. Other council members are  developing artificial feed 
for turtles and tranquilizers for lions and elephants. 

The  council  also  makes  recommendations  for vaccinating zoo employes against 
transferrable  animal  diseases  and  advises  quarantine  of animals  at  U.  S.  ports of 
entry. 

Autopsies,  lab  diagnoses  and  surgery  on  zoo  animals  help  train  veterinary 
medicine  students,  Reed  says.  In  addition,  the  council  provides  short  courses  on 
campus  for  zoo  veterinarians  and  has  consulted  in  renovating  the  zoo  animal 
hospital. 

Ex-coach  Ben  VanAlstyne  dies 
Ben  VanAlstyne,  a  Michigan  State  athletic  staff member  for  35  years  during 
whlch  he was  head  coach of basketball for 22 years and of golf for 30 years, died 
Aug.  4  after  a  short  illness.  VanAlstyne,  79,  had  lived  in  Southfield  since  hls 
retirement from MSU in 1961. 

He  is  survived  by a  daughter, Jayne  VanAlstyne, a faculty member at Montana 
State  University,  and a  brother, Guy VanAlstyne, of Honey Falls, N.Y. His wife, 
Madelon, diedin 1970. 

VanAlstyne's  basketball teams here  won 232 games and lost 163, and the sport 
reached  one  of its all  • time  peaks  in  the  1930s.  A  16· 1 record in  1930 - 31  is 
MSU's best ever. 

'Classical' autobiography declining? 
Autobiographies  being  written  today  signal  a  decline  from the "classic line of 
autobiographical  literature"  characterized  by  Benjamin  Franklin,  Henry  Adams 
and Malcolm  X,  says an English professor in the latest issue ofCentennia1 Review. 
that  "a  serious 
metaphysical  or  self - reflective  quality  is  simply  missing in  recent works."  The 
Works  of Franklin, Adams  and Malcolm X "are records of their lives and accounts 
of American history they .affected as well as experienced." 

Ross  Miller  of  the  University  of  Connecticut  asserts 

"The  sensuous  aspect  of the autobiography,"  Miller  writes,  "is really the link 
between  the  peculiarities  of  the  autobiographer's  life  and  broader  historical 
currents. It affords the  writer  a chance  to  talk about  the  world as he talks about 
himself." 

The  Centennial  Review,  a  quarterly  publication  of the  College  of Arts  and 
Letters,  also includes in its summer edition essays and poetry by 11  other authors. 
Among  the  essays  are  "Sin  and  the  City:  The  Uses  of Disorder in  the Urban 
Novel"  by  Alan  Henry  Rose,  assistant  professor  of English  at the  University  o( 
New  Hampshire;  "Echoes  and  Refrains  in  the  Canadian  Novels  of Margaret 
Laurence"  by Denyse  Forman, a graduate  student at the University of Winnipeg, 
and  Uma  Parameswaran,  assistant  professor  of  English  at  the  University  of 
Winnipeg; "Is the  Renaissance  Over?"  by  Herbert Weisinger,  dean  ofthe graduate 
school at State University of New York at Stony Brook, and "Manhattan Transfer 
as  Gateway  to  the  1920's"  by  James  B.  Lane,  assistant  professor  of history  at

T AC 

Called 

the  University's  most 
successful  tutorial  programs  will  enter 
its  fourth  year  this fall  with a financial 
boost  and,  its  planners  believe,  bright 
promise  of more help for  under prepared 
chemistry students. 
Project 

(Tutorial 
Assistance  in  Chemsitry),  the  program 
was  launched  three  years  ago  to  help 
"marginal"  students 
the 
introductory  chemistry  sequence,  a 
major  hurdle  for  some  who plan careers 
in  science  or  engineering.  Most  of  the 
students  are  black,  and  most  have 
chemistry placement  scores that classify 
them  as  "high - risk."  But  results  so far 
indicate  general improvement - in some 
for  those  who 
cases,  striking  success  -
participate in TAC. 

over 

Students are  not given  watered down 
versions  of 
introductory  chemistry 
courses,  emphasizes  Jack  B.  Kinsinger, 
professor  and  chairman  of  chemistry. 
They  are  offered  recitation  sessions  in 
addition  to  their  courses  to  help  them 
with  such  skills  as  studying,  note  -
taking  and  organizing,  and  exam  -
taking.  Selected  graduate 
teaching 
assistants  conduct  the  recitations.  And 
the  tutors benefit,  too, from  the chance 
to  get  teaching  experience  and  to  work 
with  young  people  whose  backgrounds 
may be far removed from their own. 

James  Hamilton,  assistant  professor 
of  chemistry,  conceived  and  directed 
the  program  until  he  became  an 
assistant  provost  last  year.  Now  it  is 
directed  by  Kinsinger.  But  chemistry 
faculty  members  are  assigned  to  the 
project  on  a  term  - by  - term  rotating 

basis,  and  work  with  TAC  receives  the 
same  priority  as  teaching  any  regular 
course. 

DURING  ITS  FIRST two years, TAC 
received  financial  support  from 
the 
Center  for  Urban  Affairs  and from  the 
chemistry 
department.  Last  year, 
however,  the  outside  money  was  cut 
drastically,  . and  it  was  underwritten 
almost totally by department funds. 

T AC 

last  year  used  only 

three 
teaching  assistants  (it  had  had  six  for 
each  of the  first  two  years) ,  Kinsinger 
notes,  and  as  a  consequence,  some 
winter  term  sections  in  introductory 
chemistry had to turn away students. 
(T AC  couldn't  accommodate 

the 
heavy  demand,  either,  and  Kinsinger's 
file  contains  some  letters  of  extreme 
disappointment  from students unable to 
find  places  in  the  program last  winter.)

some 
undergraduate  teaching assistants  to the 
TAC  staff. They would be  selected from 
among  students  who  have  participated 
in  TAC,  and  he  says  they  would  be 
especially  valuable  at  providing  new 
students  with  advice  and  counsel  on 
where to go  with specific problems. And 
the  undergraduate  advisors  would  be 
able  to  follow  through  and  make  sure 
that those who  need help get it.

'One  of the  best free  services' 

Of  the  several  letters  he  has  received  in  praise  of  T AC,  chemistry's 
Department  Chairman  Jack B.  Kinsinger values  most  highly  this one from  a 
young  woman  student: 

"Offering  the T AC  program  to  undereducated  students is  one  of the best 

free  services available at Michigan State. 

"In  high  school  I  had  a' grade  pOint  average  of 1.67. I came to MSU, after 
taking noncredit college  courses to get my grade  point  up, with no  knowledge 
of chemistry.  I received a 3.0 and 3.5 in inorganic and now have a 4.0 average 
in  organic,  all  because  of the  help  I  received  in TAC  sessions  and  from  Mr . 
tvlike  May  (a  f¥adu3te  teaching  aSSistant).  I  also  just recejved  my  tentative 
acceptance  to  nursing, which  would not have  been possible without this. 

" . .. One  can't  pass  chemistry  with  a decent  grade  by  just going  to  TAC 
aod  not  reading  the  book or not  studying  on  their own, but if one combines 
them all,  they should  receive a very good grade. 

''TAC  explains  and points out al l the information  that one  should  know. 
However,  it  requires  good  attendance,  for  missing a TAC  class (mea,ns)  one 
suffers just as much as if he missed a chemistry lecture - if not more. 

"]  am  not  rich enough  to  donate  money  to  the TAC program ; however, J 
wanted  to  let you  know how much  this program helped me and to thank. you 
for  giving me an  oppor tunity to  receive such  assistance  . .  , (1) hope  that in 
future  years,  more students will  be  able  to  benefit  as much from  this service 
as I did." 

Finding  blacksmiths  and  barns 

If there  are  any  doubts  that  the  MSU  campus  is  a little  city,  then  one 

look at the Faculty and Staff Telephone Directory should dispel  them. 

Listings  in  the  book compare  with any  public  telephone directory, and 

they'aren't even on yellow pages. 

There's a barbershop,  bowling  alley and billiard room (all located in the 

Union). 

There's a laundry ... a carpenter shop ... a key shop, .. a garage  repair 

service ... and a paint shop. There's even a tourist and resort service. 

There's  air  conditioning  maintenance  (for  those  buildings  fortunate  to 

have man - made cooling). And there's a canoe shelter. 

But  unlike  many  other  public  directories,  the  campus book has  some 
unique  listings.  Many  arise  from  the  fact  that  MSU  started  as  an 
agricultural  college  and  beginnings  in  this  area  continue  as  seen  by a look 
through the directory. 

. 

There's  the  "loose  housing  barn"  which  should  not be  confused  witn 
the  "swine  barn"  and  the  "nutrition  barn,"  each  of which  has  its  own 
listing. (One wonders who  answers the phone!) 

Then there's the "blacksmith shop." 
"Sugarbeet investigations"  and "bean investigations" have listings under 

plant science. 

"Pest  control"  is  also  listed,  but  not  under  any  of the  agricultural  or 

related listings. It just says  "see Public Safety." 

Then  there's  the  "Turkey  Business  Administration  Project."  If this 
conjures  up  visions  of turkeys getting  degrees  in business  administration, 
you're wrong. It's the country. 

The  telephone  listings also  show there's a "WEAK  radio"  on  campus.  It . 

comes  on  strongly  in  North  Wonders  Hall  as  part  of the  student  radio 
network. 

Sometimes it's  necessary  to  take  a  second look while your fingers walk 
through  the  campus  listings.  How  about  "Cooperation  Conflict  Research 
Group"  (a  project  in the psychology department) ... or "Pewabic Pottery 
Company (an  MSU  - owned facility in DetrOit)? They're listed in the MSU 
directory.

Training to become change  agents 

Page S, MSU News" Bulletin, Aug.  24~ 1972 

A  group  of  graduate  students  who 

see 
themselves as change agents in society are trying to 
. solve  problems  that  affect  the  everyday  lives  of 

Americans. 

Each is  doing graduate  work in the new field  of 
ecological  psychology.  Each  is  evaluating  a social 
program in his  or  her area of special interest. Each 
is  developing  instruments  to  measure  -
in  both 
quality  and  quantity  -
comparable  -programs 
planned or operating elsewhere. 

The  overall  project, with umbrella funding from 
the  National  Institute  of  Mental  Health  and 
guidance  provided  by 
the  Department  of 
Psychology,  is  now  completing  its  second  year. 
the 
George  M.  Fairweather,  who 
program  in  1970,  and  Louis  T.  Tornatzky  are 
providing major direction. 

instigated 

Eight  problem  areas  are  being 

studied: 
Nutrition;  drug  addiction; 
teacher  classroom 
behavior  as  it  affects  pupil  learning;  linkage 
between  attitudes and  action  of private citizens in 
relation  to  environmental  quality;  response  to 
innovatiop  in  mental health  systems; institutional 
in  homes  for  elderly  persons;  family 
change 
planning;  and  cqnsumer  participation  in  planning 
health services.  . 

The  students are mostly in their middle and late 
20s.  They  intend  now  and  in  later  professional 
careers  to  maintain  ties  between  research  and 
service  at  conununity,  regional,  state  or  national 
levels.  Many  have  returned  to  graduate  studies 
from  work  already  done  in  related  professional 
fields. 

NUTRITION STUDY 
The  nutrition  study  is  designed  to  evaluate 
to  women  by 
community  health 

results  of  counseling  given 
nutritionists  working 
agencies in four Michigan counties. 

in 

Undertaking  this  project  is  Kent  S.  Jamison, 
who -came  to  MSl}  after  three  years  of consumer 
and advertising research in Chicago. 

Women  who  come to those agencies having staff 
the  primary  health 
nutritionists  are  given 
assistance  they  seek,  but  those  with  problems  of 
overweight,  underweight,  anemia  or  high  blood 
pressure  also are  counseled about eating habits and 
diets. 

Jamison  expects  followups  in  his  year  - long 
study  to  show  that  women  who  received  and 
followed  the  counseling  attained  greater  health 
improvement  than  those  visiting  clinics  where 
staffs do not include nutritionists. 

DRUG ADDICTION 

The  drug  addiction  study,  undertaken  by 
William  R.  Ives,  focuses  on former  junkies in  the 
LanSing  area  who  are  rehabilitating  themselves  in 

one  of 
three  ways:  Getting  counseling  as 
outpatients  at  area  institutions,  sharing  life  in 
supervised  Lansing half way  houses,  or being  part 
of  a 
residential  program  at  a  completely 
autonomous lodge. 

Ives'  background  includes  music  studies,  two 
in

Participants in  the  study are  either  off 'drugs or 
willing 
to  get 
detoxified.  Some  have  criminal  records  for  thefts 
made to support addiction.

to  go 

The  followup  is  designed  to  determine  if the 
former  addicts have  jobs~ have  been arrested; have 
gone  back to  drugs, and how much time if any has 
been spent in hospitals and jails. 

Initial  interviews  note  family,  job,  health,  and 
military  service  histories,  and  any  drug  treatment 
and attitudes toward drugs. 

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR 

The  study  of  classroom  behavior  of  teachers, 
and  the  responses  between  them  and  children  in 
through  grade  6,  is  designed  to 
kindergarten 
improve  the  learning  environment, conununicative 
behavior  and  cognitive  skills  of  teachers  and 
learners. 

Lynn  T.  Keith,  who  is  near  completion  of the 
study, made  audio  - visual records to analyze what 
teachers  and  pupils  say  and  do  to  each  other. 
Nonverbal  conununication 
included 
gestures,  posture,  smiles  and  frowns,  and  some 
physical contact. 

recorded 

"Many  disadvantaged  children,"  Keith  said, 
"have  good  skills  and  competencies  that  remain 
hidden.  Teachers  may  not  be  adequately  engaged 
in recognizing or nurturing these talents." 

ATTITUDES TO ENVIRONMENT 

Links between attitudes and behavior in relation 
to  environmental  quality  are  being  studied  by 
John  Lounsbury,  who  wants  to  find  out  what 
private  citizens  think  about  pollution  and  what 
they actually do about it. 

He hopes to find relationships between attitudes 
and behaviors  based on reaction to specific actions 
suggested,  such  as  taking  glass  to  be  recycled, 
writing  to  congressmen  about  pending  bills,  and 
other action available to individuals. 

MENTAL HEALTH INNOVATIONS  -
Innovation  in  structure  and -authority  within 
existing mental health institutes is  under study by 
Robert  N.  Harris,  a  master's  degree  holder  in 
clinical  psychology  and  a  doctoral  candidate  in 
-
ecological psychology. 

Harris  is  analyzing  responses  in  institutions  to 
sugge~tions and  demonstration  of the  conununity 
formerly 
in  which 
lodge 

design 

some 

institutionalized persons live  together  and work in 
peer  groups  or  on  their  own.  The  study  covers 
more than 250 state and national institutions. 

His  study  will  produce  a  model  to  evaluate 
diffusion  of  an  innovation  in  such institutions in 
terms of goals, leadership, handling of crises, forms 
of administrative  structures  and  decision  making. 
THE ELDERLY 
The  kinds  of  institutional  changes  that  can 
occur  in  institutions  for  the  elderly  are  being 
studied by Esther  Fergus, who is completing work 
in  educational psychology  before starting doctoral 
studies in ecological psychology. 

She  is  examining  responses  to  proposals  for 
milieu  therapy,  a  program  currently  used  in  two 
wards  of  one  Michigan  hospital  for  the  aged.  It 
features  homelike  living  space  where  elderly  men 
and  women  care  for  themselves,  use  kitchen and 
laundry facilities,  and  select  their own clothes and 
recreation. 

At issue  are  the  initial and considered responses 
of  the  institutions  and  individual  staff members, 
and  the  effectiveness  of  existing  communication 
networks and channels of authority. 

FAMILY PLANNING 
A  family  planning  study  is  nearing  completion 
under  direction  of two  graduate  students,  Jeff~ey 
R.  Taylor  and  Susan  C.  Hedrick.  Both  are  also 
employed  by  governmental  health  agencies  in 
Michigan. 

They have  surveyed  a group  of Ingham  County 
women  - all  under  26  and married less  than  two 
to  compare  the  attitudes  toward  family 
years  -
planning  of  those  who  received  family  planning 
information  assistance  with  those  who  did  not 
receive such assistance. 

CO~SUMER PARTICIPATION 
Effectiveness  and  motivation  of  consumer 
participation  in  ongoing  health  planning  at  the 
regional  level  is  under  study  by  Amanda  Beck,  a

graduate studies.

She  expects  to  prepare  an  evaluation model for 
use  in  consumer  participation  in  other  planning 
projects.  Assisting  her  in  the  project  is  Peter

C-T  group to file  for  bargaining election 

r 

The  president  of the MSU Employees 
Association (MSUEA)  has reported that 
his  organization  will  file  a petition  this 
week  asking  for  a  collective  bargaining 
election among the University's  clerical 
technical employes. 

Rollin V. Dasen,  head of the MSUEA 
and  recording  supervisor  for  WKAR, 
said  the  petition,  to  be  filed  with  the 
Michigan 
Relations 
Employment 
Commission,  will  include  more than the

He  said  that  there  are  more  than 

2,2QO C - T employes on the campus. 

Meanwhile, 

representatives  of  the 
American  Federation  of State,  County 
and  Municipal  Employes  are  also 
conducting  a  membership  drive  in  an 
attempt 
the 
bargaining agent for C - Ts. 

to  have  AFSCME  as 

At an organizational meeting Monday 
(Aug.  21) night, it was reported that the 
AFSCME  group  had  collected  about 
130  authorization  cards,  or  almost  6 
percent  of the  University's  C - T work 
force.  When  a bargaining unit definition 
is  certified by the employment relations 
COmmission,  and  if the MSUEA  petition 
has  authorization  cards  from  at least 30 

of that unit,  the AFSCME  group would 
need  cards  from  at  least  10  percent  of 
the  C - Ts in  order to be  on an election 
ballot. 

Dasen  said  that  his  group  hopes  for 

an election among C - Ts t~s fall. 

*  *  * 
REPRESENTATNES  OF  BOTH 
groups  seeking  to  represent MSU's C - T 
employes  agree  on  one  thing:  C  - Ts 
the 
should  organize  -
better. 

the  sooner, 

But  the  two  groups  disagree  on  the 
form  that  such  :m  organization  should 
take. 

Dasen  contends  that  the  MSUEA  -
campus  - based  and  not  afnIiated  with 
any  outside  organization  - Hcan  do  a 
better job for  less  money."  Its dues  are 
currently $2 a month per member. 

But  Cheryl Hart,  coordinator  for  the 
AFSCME  group,  points  out  that  the 
union,  through  its  affiliation  with  the 
AFL  - CIO,  can  provide  the  resources 
and  expertise  needed 
to  effectively 
represent  C  - T  employes.  AFSCME's 
basic  individual  dues  - which  go  to 
local,  state  and  national  offices  - are 
$4.25  a  month.  Any  dues  for  the 

campus  unit  would  be  added  to  this 
amount, with membership consent. 

AFSCME now rept:esents about  1,500 

campus employes in two locals. 

The  MSUEA  was  formed  about three 
years  ago,  and,  Dasen  said,  its  original 
goal  was  to  secure  authoriZation  cards 
from  50  percent  of the  C - Ts  and  ask 
for  voluntary  recognition  from 
the 
University. 

The  membership  became  bogged 
down,  however,  and  only a  few months 
ago  the group was  still  well  short of its 
50  percent  goal.  But  the  flow  of 
authorization  cards  picked  up,  Dasen 
said,  with  the  announcement  in  June 
that

There  aren't  ariy big, colorful signs to 
draw  customers,  or  apy  promotional 
gimmicks  ("Free  dishes  with  a  fill  -

Surprising!  For  this  service  station

gallon  -

clientele  is  very  select,  because  MSU's

Max  Neils,  manager  of auto  services, 
says  those  services  include  the  service 
garage,  which  has  automotive  supplies, 
fuel  and  repair  services; the motor pool, 
providing  rental  of  vehicles;  and  the 
campus bus system. 

"The  University  owns  628  vehicles, 
including  30  buses,  which  are  eligible 
for  servicing  in  the  department,"  he 
says. 

And  servicing  the  department  does.

says.

THE  DEPARTMENT  employs  48 
persons,  including  11  mechanics  and 
two  apprentice mechanics. 

There  are  11  stalls or "bays" beneath 
the  northeast  corner  of  the  stadium 
where automotive servicing is done .. 

"The  department  was  established  to 
offer  automotive  services, and car rental 
and  bus  service  at  a  rate  considerably 
less  than  that available  from  local  retail 
agencies,"  Neils  says.  "And  we  remain 
competitive.'? 

The  motor  pool  has  more  than  100 
vehicles available for  daily or long - term 
lease. 

"We  only  buy  basic  colors,  such  as 
blue,  green  white  and  tan,"  Neils  says. 
"You  won't  find  a  red  car  purchased. 
It's not conservative  enough." 

The  University  replaces  automobiles 
after  two  years  of  50,000  miles.  "We 
have  all  different  brands. We  buy from 
lowest  bidder  who  meets  our 
the 
specifications," he says. 

The  University  fleet  sports. 44  new 
vehicles  this  year,  including  12  new 
station wagons. 

The  bus  fleet  also  includes  two  new 
additions.  "We  are  replacing older buses 
as  the  need  arises  with  buses  equipped 
with 
the 
environmental  improvement package  to 
cut  down  on  pollution and  emissions."

Five  campus  vehicles  are  equipped 
with  liquid  propane  fuel  which  emits 
less  pollutants  than  regular  gasoline. 
"These vehicles include lift trucks which 
are used inside of buildings," he says.

The 

campus 

system  was 
established  in  1967  and,  Neils  says, 
"although  ridership  on  the  buses  is 
declining  every  year,  we  carry  as  many 
as  40,000  passengers  a  day  during  the 
winter months." 

The  bus  drivers  are  absorbed  into 
Physical  Plant  positions  summer  term 
and  between  terms,  when  fewer  buses 
are running. 

Neils  explains 

that  there  are  no 
women  bus drivers on campus, "but this 
is  because no woman has applied for the 
job." 

Neils  also  says  with  pride  that  MSU 
runs  one  of  the  cleanest  bus  systems 
around.  "The  buses  are  cleaned  every 
day during the winter months."

Water  m.ay  be discolored 
as  hydrants  'flush  deeply' 

The  campus  water  supply  may  be 
discolored  next week, but it won't offer 
any hazard for human consumption. 

Cause  of the  off - color water is  the 
physical  plant's  annpal  flushing  and 
testing  of  fire  hydrants.  The  work 
begins  Aug.  30  and  continues  through 
Sept. 8. 

Jim  Sneathen, maintenance  engineer, 
explains  that  the  discoloration is caused 
by  iron  particles  from  the  deep  rock

wells 
Tniversity's  distribution  system  during 
e flushing.

that 

in 

The  annual  hydrant  flushing prevents 
a build - up of the particles, he adds, and 
insures  that  the  hydrants  are  in  proper 
operating condition. 

MSU's  water 

is  safe  for  human 
consumption  in  its  natural  condition, 
Sneathen  explains, but to guard against 
contamination  from  outside  sources, 
chemicals  are  added  daily  to  the  water 
at  the  reservoir.  In  addition,  samples 
from  various  locations  are  taken  each 
week  and  checked  by  the  Department 
of Microbiology and Public Health.
