University, osteopathic college say they agree in principle Though "many important points" are still unresolved, officials of Michigan State and the privately chartered Michigan College of Osteopathy (MCOM) at Pontiac have announced agreement in principle on establishing a college of osteopathic medicine here. Creation of a state-supported osteopathy college was provided by legislative act, and its location at MSU was recommended by the State Board of Education. Jack Breslin, executive vice president and secretary, and official spokesman discussants, statement: for MSU and MCOM following the issued "Michigan State and the Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine agree that the position paper adopted by the MSU Board of Trustees in September provides an appropriate basis for establishing an osteopathic college at Michigan State.

But it reflects many similar student-faculty "meetings" that will take place Photo by Bill Mitcham before the process concludes this afternoon. Board reaffirms 'channels'; OKs facult.y' salary increases Official communications between faculty and officers of the University to shall be the Board of Trustees transmitted the president's office, according to an opinion by Michigan State's attorney. through A legal interpretation of a section of the trustees bylaws relating to such coinmunications was presented at the December board meeting by Leland W. Carr Jr., University attorney. Carr distributed copies of a letter dated Dec. 8, 1969, in which he interpreted that part of Article VII of the bylaws entitled "Communications." The portion reads: "All communications to the Board from the officers and faculty of the University and the officers of any affiliated organizations of the Board of Trustees shall be transmitted through the president of the University. This provision does not preclude the right of approach on the part of members of the its duly constituted Board or committees. "All communications from the Board or any of its committees addressed to any officer, professor or instructor, or other employee of the University shall be transmitted through the office of the president of the University." * * * CARR'S INTERPRETATION said that "the evident purpose of the language is to establish the president as the official conduit for communications from the officers and faculty to the Board and from the Board back to the officers and faculty." He added: "Re<;ognition is given to the probability that on occasion the through Board may operate subcommittees, but the method of contact remains the same as with the full Board. "The single exception permitted by the framers is authority on the part of individual Trustees to explore a question preliminarily by direct contact with officers and/or faculty. However, the communication of official actions to or from the Board must be through the principal executive officer." The interpretation was requested by trustees Don Stevens and Frank Merriman. Merriman said it was an to provide "reassurance to attempt President Wharton" that established communications channels will be used. * * * IN ANOTHER ACTION, the Board approved about $190,000 in mid-year salary faculty members who were recommended by department chairmen and deans as excellent teachers. for 325 increases Provost John Cantlon said the raises conform to provisions in the Conunittee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) for Clearer report that call (continued on page 4) Alumni giving stays up despite disorders By BARBARA MC INTOSH Assistant Editor, News Bureau five years ago. MSU Contributions by Michigan State alumni are proportionately the same as they were is receiving more alumni money, but it also has more graduates, according to John Kinney, executive director of the MSU Alumni Association. Giving is up this year over last, however, Kinney says. "Like many other universities, MSU giving was down last year because of campus disorders," he says. tuition plan, Since spring, 1968, the ability-to -pay the presidential election, the black athlete boycott and the Holden Hall demonstration have all affected alumni contributions, Kinney says. But at the recent convention of the American Alumni Council District 5 it was indicated that funds will b'e back on the upswing, he says. * * * ONE OF the association's problems - that private schools don't face - is educating alumni to the fact that public institutions need support beyond what is provided by the state. "State-assisted does not mean state-supported. The University receives 'hard-line dollars' from the state for salaries, equipment and on-going programs. Gift dollars, however, are needed the refinements. Loans, the planetarium, and scholarships, projects in Kresge Art Center and the for museum were all made possible through the Alumni Association," Kinney explains. "Public colleges and universities that ' rely solely on state appropriations are doomed to mediocrity," he says. Currently MSU ranks 13th nationally and third in the Big Ten in terms of the number of contributors. Dollarwise, the University ranks 24th nationally, Kinney says. Alumni feedback indicates that they "are pleased with the progress the UniverSity has made," Kinney says. "It has grown in stature and we are providing national leadership in many areas, such as the international center. Physically, the alumni know we have grown tremendously. They are pleased about the plans for a medical school and many hope this will be followed by a law school." * * * BUT KINNEY EXPLAINS are happy with that the are by no means "while we donations, we satisfied." He forecasts decentralization giving. specialization and to encourage alumni "Because of size we want to decentralize . alumni-giving by colleges and departments.

" If we do not succeed in achieving a campus which is more voluntary than most 'of ours now are ; if we do not the restore a widespread openness of society, then I think our present troubles will seem as nothing compared with what lies ahead. ' .. faith in "My elders and betters, my peers and contemporaries are backed to the wall, then driven up the wall, eventually driven up and over it, by students who are often fundamentally anti-intellectual; who are impatient with learning and research; who think there ar~ social ends other the advancement of learning which a university should serve; and who see no reason why the majority vote of students should not dictate what those ends are and how they should be pursued ... than * * * "I AM NOT at all sure I .favor the all-volunteer army, but I am very sure I do favor the all-volunteer campus. It is not primarily because I'm sorry for the undisciplined student who finds himself unable to buckle down and make the most of his good fortune. It is, rather, because a university, too many of whose is corrupted, members feel captive, its all for fouled distracted and members. "Higher learning cannot work if it is involuntary. And the judgments which their faculties must universities and make about degrees and about appointments cannot be made by a process which allows the judged to outvote their judges ... "But most of it (the pressure driving young people to universities involuntarily) is pure conformity to the pace of the conventional escalators of success. Parental concern is whetted, of course, by the fear that once off the escalator the son or daughter might never get back on. "The dreadful word 'drop-out' - quite appropriately pejorative at the elementary and high school level - has been allowed to frustrate sensible plans for splicing academic and nonacademic experience. It makes it harder to think of taking a year off for work or social action involvement between school and college, or in the middle of college. is "It lock-step, the excessive continuity oflearning, from age 5 to 25, which stultifies the motivation of some of the most gifted students. Easier escape and easier re-entry would do much to make the campus a voluntary community once again . .. * * * "A PERSON SHOULD NOT be made to feel that he must get all his formal education in the fIrst 20 odd years of his life. Nor should he be made to feel that once he picks a line of work he has forever forfeited a chance to change his mind and tool up for some other career. "There must be more chance to recycle back through the university if we are to retain the sense of continuous freedom of career choice. If everyone must choose his rut and feel that by graduation he is beyond the point of no return, then we will have lost much of that sense of freedom which is essential to the voluntary society ... " KINGMAN BREWSTER .. .. Adams predicts 'floodtide of change' Here are portions of the message delivered by Acting President Walter Adams to graduates at the Dec. 5 fall term commencement ceremony. in government, "Organizational change is even more difficult and painful (than individual change) in corporations, in labor unions, or in universities. As the organization matures, John Gardner says, 'it develops settled ways of doing things and becomes more orderly, more efficient, more systematic. But it also -becomes less flexible, less innovative, less willing to look freshly at each day's experience. Its routines are in an elaborate body of congealed written rules. In the final state of organizational senility there is a rule or precedent for everything.' ... increasingly fixed "The problem, of course, is bureaucracy - a form of organizational a species of institutional rigidity - resistance to change and innovation. The bureaucratic mentality, particularly in giant organizations, is essentially conservative, negative , backward-looking and nonexperimental. It glorifies forms and formalities, the superficial and external. It is more concerned with detail than vision, its standpat insistence on the status quo rather to changing conditions. relevant response than a "It is forever 'building the church and killing the creed,' so that eventually wooden chalices and golden priests are replaced by golden chalices and wooden is priests. The bureaucratic mind reminiscent of those Bourbon kings of France, walking backward through history learning nothing and forgetting nothing. "Ladies and gentlemen, I submit that the flood tide of change in our modern, post-industrial society cannot and will not be stopped. "If we as individuals are to survive, and if our institutions are to survive, we must confront change with a posture of constructive adaptation. We must recognize with John Gardner that 'apathetic men accomplish nothing,' that 'men who believe in nothing change nothing for the better,' and that fearful men, inaction, are a catatonic burden themselves and society." frozen into to After 4 years, JMC changes while keeping original intent As the first of Michigan State's three small residential colleges, Justin Morrill College has been subjected to much from both approving closer scrutiny - and critical sources - its two than younger counterparts. Justin Morrill was designed to exemplify the attributes of the small college setting while drawing from the resources of a major university. Its initial emphasis was on international studies, and its students were subjected to rigorous language requirements. As JMC moves into its fifth year, Dean D. Gordon Rohman recently reported on the status of the college in an address at a Kellogg Center conference on cluster colleges. JMC , according to Rohman, has both changed and remained the same ; it has attracted supporters and provoked critics; and it remains flexible. students now can substitute two years' study of any language offered at MSU. The move provides greater choice and accommodates students with no interest or competence in intensive language study, Rohman noted. * * * Rohman also made these observations on JMC's development : F ACUL TY - "Although we usually think of the advantages that innovative colleges have for students, they are just real - . and perhaps even more as influential - for faculty. "I know that I have had an absolutely priceless liberal education these four years, partly by having to become an 'educator' rather than a diSCiplinarian , partly by teaching at shorter range with students, and partly by working all the time with other faculty who share the same mission ... " A major departure from its established objectives is a shift in emphasis on language skills, he said. Originally required to take one of three languages the college taught JMC (Spanish, French, Russian) , intensively in JMC STUDENTS - "Out of 157 graduates (in the first class), we had 33 Phi Beta Kappas, 4 of the 11 Woodrow Wilson awards in the entire state, 41 in Honors College, a Marshall Fellow, a the highest Danforth winner, and all-college GPA in the University ... "Our glittering statistics in these areas may actually mask a kind of failure . I to know how much our would like students have become more human beings, not just blue ribboneers in the academic foot race . . . our actions will have impact. This power is the single most important fact of our existence within the University. "Innovation - which means challenge of the status quo - needs all the power it can command in order to do its thing." " Over the past three years, JMC has attracted almost as many transfers as it has lost. The average net loss is about 4 per cent per term. "We attract - and hold - a larger than University average numbt:r of students from homes where one or more parent has gone to college. Andmy impression is that amQng this number is a large percentage of students whose parents are liberal and politically active , and who are not rebels but , in Kenneth Keniston's phrase, 'chips off the old block' ... " * * * THE SETTING "We form (with James Madison and Lyman Briggs Colleges) a community of interest, a 'power base' if you will, that will guarantee that our views will be heard, COSTS - "They are now about equivalent to the upper range of costs in the College of Arts and Letters. More important, though, is that for the past two years, per unit costs have been the projected that decreasing, and budgets plan even more significant and substantial decreases. "In other words, residential -style undergraduate liberal education is not a lUXury but an economical possibility within average university." Rohman observed that the greatest peril "to our kind of education" is chiefly internal - fighting the notion that "over time, the energy of the new educational system seems to run down." "So I preach self-renewal constantly," he said. Sullivan's aim: 'Greater role for humanities' By GENE RIETFORS Editor, Faculty News Richard E. Sullivan, the new dean of the College of Arts and Letters, belongs to Michigan State's growing list of faculty-turned -administrators. And the ' fact that more and more into key faculty have including the roles - administrative acting presidency - is "a reflection of the talent here," Sullivan says. stepped "I 'sometimes get disturbed when aspersions are cast at faculty members who take administrative assignments," he adds. "This kind of involvement should be seen as part of the faculty responsibili ty. " Sullivan was elevated Jan. 1 from his post as professor and chairman of history to succeed Paul A. Varg, who relinquished the arts. and letters dean's chair to devote full time to teaching and research. A member of the facuIty since 1954, Sullivan is a specialist in medieval history and a 1964 winner of the Distinguished Faculty Award. The wide-ranging duties of a dean usually leave little room for teaching and scholarly pursuits, so Sullivan takes on his new role with some reservations. "The department is perhaps the most meaningful community in the University," he observes, "and as dean to detach yourself from you have departmental interests." But he says he welcomes the challenge of the "larger enterprise" of the arts and letters college. * * * ADMINISTERING IN THE academic setting requires special kinds of skills, and Sullivan contends that these skills can't be taught. "Faculty are a unique group, because they have such strength of their convictions," he notes. "They don't adapt very well to systems. I have the feeling that in corporations, people tend to adapt to the system, partly to draw strength from it. "Faculty draw their strength from within themselves. One has to respect their convictions, even though from an it can administrative sometimes be chaotic." standpoint Sullivan sees his task as "consensus formulating," taking into account the diversity of faculty opinion as well as Richar4 Sullivan: Leaving the "community." Photo by Bob Smith the strong individuality that pervades any academic community. He also predicts fewer that university administrators today are going to be willing "to make a career of it." He endorses the notion of establishing terms of office for SOIlle administrative jobs - "a good idea on humane grounds alone." * * * SULLIVAN SAYS he hopes to help faculty in the humanities "have an even greater the campus." impact on intellectual "The heart of the University has to be the humanities and the basic social and physical sciences." "I don't think the humanities have yet reached their proper place here," he says. "The key to strengthening their role is getting and keeping facuIty who to make a · humanistic feel an urge approach felt throughout the University community. "This takes more than money; it requires an appreciation on the part of the central administration the humanistic disciplines have a vital contribution to make to the quality of life in the entire University." that Sullivan contends today's students are concerned with forming values, rather than just with learning professions. that "They want to make sense of the world, and this may be fundamental to the role of arts and letters," he says. "College professors are going to have to start professing something - a posture of life, ideas with meaning." * * * niE ARTIST, the historian, the poet and musician have often been considered as "a kind of cosmetic" in the world, Sullivan observes. "Now is the time for us to have more impact. We have tended to assume that all our problems were physical and material, technological solutions. But we're getting back to the basics, such as human values." requlflllg "The University has to speak to these issues," Sullivan says. "We need'to hold intellectual and emotional attention of the next generation. the "If we can't keep the university community civilized and humane, then there's no hope that we can do it elsewhere.
