MSU News -Bulletin VOL. 4, NO.7 Michigan State University NOVEMBER 2,1972 Benefits open enrollment to begin Monday Briefly, the program provides: * Disabled persons would receive a monthly income, including Social Security benefits, equalling 60 percent of the fust $1,000 of monthly income, plus 40 percent of the excess over $1,000. This monthly rate would continue until age 65. * It will pay both the individual's and the University's contribution to TIAA- CREF until the insured reaches age 65, at which time the insured starts drawing retirement annuity. * It includes a cost - of - living rider and a guaranteed $50 a month income benefit. All regular full - time employees on the payroll and at work as of Dec. 31 will be covered automatically by this plan as of Jan. 1, 1973. No enrollment is required. i. Part~- time employees (50 percent or more) who have five years' continuous service will be eligible for up to $12.50 a month in University contribution toward hospitalization insurance. They will also be eligible (effective Jan. 1) to participate optionally in TIAA - CREF. _ Gary J. Posner, director of employee compensation and benefits, has urged all employees to examine their benefits programs. Changes may be advisable, he said, especially for those who have changed their number of dependents. Employees can enroll or adjust their benefits programs any time between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Nov. 6 - Nov. 17 at the Staff Benefits Division, 344 Administration Building. In addition, enrollment centers will be set up at the following locations from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on the dates indicated: Thursday, Nov. 9, Room 102, Kellogg Center; Friday, Nov. 10, Physical Plant Lunchroom; Monday, Nov. 13, Captain's Room, Union Building; Tuesday, Nov. 14, Room W - 46, McDonel Hall. The annual faculty and staff open enrollment for insurance benefits will be conducted by the Staff Benefits Division beginning next Monday (Nov. 6) and continuing through Nov. 17. Brochures detailing the benefits went out this week to all employees. Two major benefits are featured: 1. For the fIrst time, effective Jan. 1, 1973, the University will provide all regular full - time employees (both salaried and hourly) with a fully paid Long - Term Disability program. Previously, salaried staff could enroll and pay for this coverage on an optional basis. All other employees were eligible for a disability pension only after they had been here for 15 or more years. The new program provides continued monthly earnings in case of disability, and it insures that no eligible- employee will be without a retirement income should a disabling injury occur. Fewer A-P titles likely as result of Hayes study job content; and the impact of the job on the University's areas of research, education or services. This point - count system will be used by the fIve University committees to their classify positions under jurisdiction. Salaries for administrative - professional employees won't be much different when the campus A - P study is completed in January. Additionally, a reduction of A - P classifIcation titles can be expected. According to Timothy Reilley, these will be some of the recommendations following the six - month - study by the consulting fIrm of Robert H. Hayes and Associates, Inc., of Chicago_ Reilley is the firm's on - site director. "There will be no salary cuts," he says, "but some positions will be classifIed higher and some will be classified lower _" Reilley explains that when a position "This means is classified lower it is "red circled." that although the salaries aren't cut, salary" increases for the position won't be made until similar positions in the classifIcation move up to the same level as the red - circled position," he says. In the area of classifIcation titles, the study team is ranking like positions with similar responsibilities under one to 600 title. classifIcation titles have been condensed to approximately 350," Reilley says. "The current 560 Tr.e study team is classifying the University's 643 A - P personnel. team the study Additionally, is currently reviewing approximately 300 clerical - technical positions 9 through 12 and approximately 120 labor payroll positions under federal guidelines for executive, professional and administrative classifications. "We plan to complete this review by Nov. 10," he says, "and determine if staff in these two areas should be moved over to A - P classifIcations." The study team also has completed a salary point - count system. This system, which will be used in ranking positions in classifIcati()ns, is currently awaiting approval from the classifIcation coordinating committee. The basic factors used to establish the point count system are qualifIcations necessary for the position; Inside . .. · .. Derming death, page 2 · .. Demobilizing an army, page 5 · .. Defeating pests, page 6 The Farm Lane Bridge Photo by Dick Wesley_ Page 2, Nov. 2, 1972 (Science notes) The crucial problem of defining death Death can be made, at least for some, more comfortable and useful, , says a Harvard University physician. Do people have the right to a comfortable death'? Henry Beecher, described as "one of the great medical ethicists," answered: "The prolonged death watch is too often unnecessary, costly and wasteful." Beecher, at a recent MSU conference on "Forensic Medicine and the Quality of Life," called for more leadership from physicians at the scenes of death. Beecher began with the assumption that "there may be a time when it is appropriate to die. "When is that moment'?" he asked. "What are its criteria,?" As the end approaches there is less and less life in the individual, Beecher said, and there is eventually a quantitative factor - "a sort of death by inches." Consciousness of the brain may be destroyed months before the rest of the body succumbs Beecher said. The moment of death can only be approximated. Meanwhile, besides the misery of the death watch, $30,000 to $40,000 per year may be required to maintain a living body, though the brain may be virtually dead, said Beecher. For every two weeks a patient is kept alive by "' ~ Wharton applauds vote; vows further 'good faith' The following statement was issued by President Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. following the faculty collective bargaining election Oct. 23 and 24 in which the faculty voted decisively for "no agent." Michigan State University faculty members have decisively rejected collective bargaining as a means of regulating their professional lives. I see in the vote an expression of confidence in the efforts of many individuals to build a workable system of academic governance at this University. The vote demonstrates an appreciation that a well-developed faculty role in managing Significant aspects of the University's operations is essential to maintaining the institution's vitality, sense of direction and high intellectual caliber. However, I do not view the results as a vote for complacency or the status quo. Rather, it is a message to the administration and concerned faculty members to continue to work in good faith to strengthen and improve our governance system. And the fact that some 718 faculty members voted for unionization carries a message as well. It emphasizes that we do have unresolved problems. . . One of these - faculty salaries - will continue to receive close attention in the months ahead. This remains a high priority on my agenda, as it has since I came to MSU. For the first time; we are exchanging salary information at the department level with our sister institutions in the Big Ten. With comparative information such as this, we hope that the Michigan Legislature will show its willingness to help alleviate inequities and to Significantly improve salary levels in keeping with the high quality of our faculty. We are !>leased that the outcome of the election was so clear cut. As we remain mindful of our responsibilities to faculty, staff and students, we believe that results will produce a stronger and more effective Michigan State University. \. ~ Others have bargaining votes; three still face run-off elections MSU is one of six institutions in the coun try whose faculties 'held collective bargaining elections in the last several weeks. Three of those institutions face run-off elections in the future, one voted to be represented by the American Association of University Professors, and one besides MSU rejected unionization. * University of Hawaii faculty MSU News -Bulletin Editor: Mike Morrison Aswi:iJzte editor: Sandra Dalka Assodote editor: Patricia Grauer Editorial offices: Rooms 323 and 324, Linton Hall, Michigan State University, East Lansing 48823.

The AAUP led in the first round, 560 votes to 552 for the AFT. Two other bargaining agents and a "no agent" option were eliminated in that round. * Temple University will also have a run-off, but 74 challenged ballots will determine which units will vie in that election. The contending units are the AAUP, AFT, and NEA. * Eleven challenged ballots at Ferris State College will determine whether the AAUP or NEA vie with "no agent" in an upcoming run-off. * The AAUP won the right to represent the faculty at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. The vote was 78 for the AAUP and six for "no agent." * Baldwin-Wallace College, like MSU, voted not to be represented. • extraordinary means, 26 other patients could be using the hospital bed. Even treatment for cancer patients may be delayed. Lives may be needlessly lost. * * * What it boils down to is that "money is human life," said Beecher, "and so is the hospital bed." - These situations of slow and certain death pose a serious problem for hospitals, he said. "Inevitably with more and more bold, adventuresome and commendable attempts to rescue the dying, more and more individuals have accumulated in the hospitals of the land, individuals who can be maintained 'alive' only by extraordinary means. Individuals for whom there is no hope of recovery, let alone recovery to a comfortable, pleasure able existence, and all this at a cost of not les~ than $30,000 a year." What are the doctor's privileges and responsibilities'? "With the developments in recent years," said Beecher, "'therehas been an extraordinary increase in the power of the doctor, and with this increase new and unexpected dilemmas in moral choice emerge. They require decision and action." While medical-technical decisions become easier, moral problems become increasingly more difficult, Beecher told lawyers and physicians at the Kellogg Center conference. Is it morally right to use the tissues and organs of hopelessly unconscious patients? "A strong case can be made that society can ill afford to discard the organs of hopelessly unconscious individuals," said Beecher. "The old definition of heart death is simply no longer adequate for all cases. ''There is indeed a life saving potential to the new definition. For when accepted, it will lead to greater availability than formerly of essential organs in viable condition for transplantation. And thus, countless lives now inevitably lost will be saved." He added: "With the new definition of death, death of the brain is very easy to diagnose: "First, there must be deep unconsciousness with no response to external stimuli or internal need. "Second, there must be no muscular movement or breathing, except artifiCially maintained. "Third, there must be no reflexes except occasional spinal reflexes (which, of course, do not pass through the brain)." Some doctors say that a flat electroencephalogram (a flat brain wave) is an indication of death. "We don't think it's enough by itself," said Beecher. "It is recommeded that when the brain is demonstrably dead," said Beecher "and there is no hope of recovery of consciousness, two physicians - one of inform the family that death has whom is a neurosurgeon or a neurologist - occurred and that the respirator is to be turned off. "I think it's pointless and needlessly cold to ask the family to make this decision. The family should be informed of what you propose to do and having told them, then they can object if they care to do so. "Only then, after these things have been done, should the transplant team enter the situation . Artificial respiration can be continued almost indefmitely in many cases, thus the body can be oxygenated and carbon dioxide removed so that the other organs remain in good condition, as long as the heart continues to beat." The freedom to choose brain death is a very great gain, while it makes no difference to the dead man, said Beecher. "The new defmition of death has been widely accepted by physicians, so far as I can determine, but often not by philosophers or theologians. These gentlemen are wary of the presumed. consequences of the new definition. They state their opinion. Lawyers sometime seem to hold that nothing shall ever be done for the first time." PHILLIP E. MILLER ( Letters ) MSU-FA: The 'loyal opposition' To the Editor: The MSU-Faculty Associates are disappointed, but not completely surprised, by the results of the faculty bargaining election. We have been aware that numbers of the faculty and academic staff have serious concerns about University policies affecting them, and that they desire to move toward needed corrections in those policies. At the same time, they are wary of collective bargaining as an instrument. We regret that we were unable sufficiently to dispel those fears, and we continue to believe that collective bargaining represents a sound, reasonable and professional approach toward strengthening the University as a whole, not merely the faculty. . We will support, during the coming year, efforts to strengthen the present academic governance structure. At the same time we intend to remain vocal advocates of the interests of the considerable minority of faculty members who voted in favor of collective bargaining - almost 40 per cent of the electorate. We intend to act, in the meantime, in the role of constructive commentators and critics of policies and proposals affecting the welfare of the faculty bargaining unit. We sincerely hope that the administra tion and the Academic Council will be successful in redeeming their promises to the faculty members who by their votes, placed their trust in them. Those of us who voted for collective bargaining will continue, as the loyal opposition, to monitor their performance. Mary E. Tomkins Assistant professor, ATL President-elect, MSU-F A Around the camp-us: A summarl ' Page j; No~. 2; 1972 Overseas teaching a success The international reputation of MSU and its student teaching coordinators have been credited with the success of the University's overseas student teaching program. Now in its fourth year, the program places student teachers in American schools in England, Rome and the Netherlands. W. Henry Kennedy, director of student teaching, stresses that each group of 20 to 25 students is accompanied by a faculty coordinator from one of MSU's student teaching offices around the state. ' The faculty member serves as coordinator of the program, and works with the school administration and teaching staff in planning and prOviding an individualized program of experiences for each student teacher, Kennedy explains. In addition, the coordinator often conducts inservice training for the teachers in the overseas schools. MSU started its program, Kennedy says, "because we felt we owed something to the schools and their students in the overseas schools. They don't have an institution over there like MSU for resources." Kennedy also attributed success of the program to the commitment which the University has made in many areas of international programs. Because of its good reputation, it has attracted some of the top people in the country to its staff, he says. Each term a group of MSU students and a coordinator attend one of three schools: The American School of the International Schools of The Hague, the Overseas School of Rome or the American Overseas Department of Defense Schools in Lakenheath, England. MSU carefully screens the 70 to 120 students who apply each term for the program. The project coordinator is interested in their academic and cultural backgrounds, their interest in gaining living experiences in a second culture, and personality traits such as flexibility and stabulity. "We need people who can adjust," says Bradley B. West, assistant director of student teaching, "because you're pretty far from campus." Prior to tl:.eir overseas experience, all MSU student teachers are required to spend approximately two weeks at the begining of the term in a Michigan public school. "One thing we're kind of proud of is that the program is self - supporting," West says. The students pay their own air fare and housing expenses, and the supervising professor works just as if he were at his Michigan coordinating center. Studies at MSU show that students who have taught overseas have a broader outlook about different cultures, and that they are more flexible and open minded. Photos, watercolors on display 'Two exhibits - watercolors from a Detroit collection and color photographs by MSU's Robert Alexander - are on display at the Kresge Art Center Gallery. The exhibit continues until Nov. 12. The 26 watercolors have been selected from the collection of LIe Detroit Institute of Arts in order to demonstrate some of the possibilities of the water color medium, according to Paul Love, gallery director. The works represent the experimentalist and the traditionalist from the late 19th century to the present. Alexander, professor of art, will show a group of 50 photographs, most of which were taken as part of an all - university research grant on "Environmental Format." As a designer, he has worked in many areas of industrial, graphic and environmental design. He is an active member of the Industrial Designers Society of America and the Society of Architectural Historians. His drawings, paintings and photographs have been exhibited nationally. Love, said that he organized the watercolor show because of requests from art students who wanted to see works by some of the important watercolor artists. He selected most of tr.e works from the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. "It's cheaper - especially for students - to work with watercolors," which, Love says, explains the popularity of the medium. ,"You can also do a lot of quick sketches this way. ''The students," he says, "are encouraged that a lot of great artists work with watercolors. " New hours for the gallery are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, Tuesday 7 to 9 p.m., and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Previously, the gallery closed at noon. Coher:z to speak at convocation Former secretary of health, education and welfare Dr. Wilbur J. Cohen, will be the featured speaker at the second annual convocation of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. - The convocation, welcoming an entering class of 64 students, will be held at 2 p.m. Friday (Nov. 3) iT' the Erickson Hall Kiva. The class is the second to be admitted on the MSU campus and the fourth since the college opened its doors in 1969 as a privately chartered college in Pontiac. Cohen, who is now dean of education at the University of Michigan, was a major figure in the Kennedy and Johnson_ administrations and is identified with Medicare and a number of federal programs in support of education. feature Another of the convocation will be the presentation of the second annual Walter F. Patenge Medals of Public Service. The awards are sponsored by the Michigan Osteopathic Medicine Advisory Board and named for its chairman. Recipients will be Cohen ; Raymond D. Dzendzel, former minority and majority leader in the State Senate and a sponsor of the bill that established the college; Edwin L. Novak, Flint optometrist and chairman of the State Board of Education ; Hobert C. Moore, Bay City osteopathic physician and a former president of the American Osteopathic Association; and Morris M. Thompson, president of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine for the past 25 years. EPC recommendation al!Proved The Academic Council approved the educational policies committee's (EPC) recommendation to modify the credit by examination policy. The modification eliminates the present policy of not charging fees for failing grades or reporting failing grades under credit by examination. Lester V. Manderscheid, professor of agricultural economics and chairman of the EPC, defended the recommendation and said the committee's intent was to keep credit by examination parallel with regular courses. The approved policy states: * The credit by examination option should be made widely available in the manner set forth in the Academic Handbook. The option should be offered at least as often as the corresponding course or once a year, whichever is more frequent. * Unit,s should except from this option only those courses in which class attendance and participation are an integral part of the instructional method. * At the beginning of the term, departments and/or designated instructors will provide students who elect this option with a written statement of the materials and skills the student must master, and the manner is which the student will demonstrate proficiency. * Implementation of this policy in the responsibility of department chairmen, deans, and the administrative provost for undergraduate education. The Council approved another EPC report on its review of the credit-no credit (CR - NC) grade option for general education courses. Formal action on the grade option will await a report on criteria for general education courses by an ad hoc committee and an EPC report on the current grading system. Both reports are expected to be completed by the end of fall term. Artists' work reflects the times Creative work of American writers and painters active in 1920s into the 1960s show that the artists were affected by technology, and that more often than not the influence resulted in violence in the arts. Jeremy Mattson, assistant professor of American thought and language, underscored the ties between technology and the arts in a paper presented at the recent annual meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies. Mattson discussed the writing of Ernest Hemingway, Nathaniel West, and Joseph Heller; and the art of Charles Dumuth, Stuart Davis, and Jackson Pollack. Demuth was an exception, Mattson said, for a while his paintings showed products of technology like buildings, a serene order is predominant. The painters Davis and Pollack reflect a violence in their abstractions which is nondestructive but still potentially explosive. "Hemingway, West and Heller are all writers that deal directly with violence as subject matter," he said. "Hemingway seems at fIrst to have an answer in the devotion to the simple, creative act, but this may not be sufficient in the end. The hero of West's 'Miss Lonely'hearts' calls himself a humanity lover, but is frustrated and dies a violent death. TIle hero of Heller's 'Catch 22' is repeatedly blocked in his attempts to impose reason and humaneness upon a mad and violent world." Discussing the creations and personal lives of the artists and writings, Mattson said Dumuth's life was possibly a reflection of the violence that characterized so much of the art of the century. ROBERT ALEXANDER A "Contained potential explosion is the theme of Davis' paintings, and ,Pollock's paintings are violent in their very execution." - 'FRAN MURRAY "Hemingway portrays the voilence of war, and the violence of human relationships," he said. "For West, violence is a refrain that keeps returning because no other action is effective, no other action communicates. Heller's 'Catchc22' portrays the meaningless violence of war. . , Page 4, Nov. 2, 1972 - Peace Corps, Vista Week proclaimed The week of Oct. 30 through Nov. 5 has been declared Peace Corps and Vista Week in a joint proclamation issued Tuesday, Oct. 31 by Governor William G. Milliken and MSU President Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. Wharton, who is hospitalized with a leg injury, was represented at the ceremonies by Robert Perrni, vice president for university relations. The proclamation urged "all citizens to give appropriate recognition and tribute to those Michigan citizens from our state's communities and universities who have served so actively and well in Peace Corps and Vista programs." Among the country's universities, MSU had the largest number of Peace Corps applicants during the past year, and has supplied 710 volunteers since the agency's inception. One hundred former MSU students are currently active volunteers abroad. MSU has also played an important part in Peace Corps programs by developing a special agricultural internship helping to train students for projects in the Philippines. MSU was third in Vista applications among the nation's colleges and universities this year, supplying 369 volunteers since 1964. Statewide, 1,841 Hichigan residents have served in the Peace Corps in 57 overseas countries, with 51 active volunteers from the state using their skills in agriculture, business, education, the skilled trades and health fields. Since Vista ' s inception, 1,806 Michigan residents have spent one year working with urban and rural poor, on Indian reservations, and with migrant workers in the program. Currently 38 Vista volunteers are working within Michigan. 1971-72 is another year marked by financial austerity In another year marked by economic austerity, Michigan State managed to: Lay the groundwork for a new College of Urban Development; hold its place as the No. 1 choice of Merit Scholars; and help some 90 per cent of its graduates find immediate employment in an economy suddenly gone sour for college graduates. These are among accomplishments cited in the University's 1971-72 Financial Report issued this week. The report shows that MSU spent Some $182.4 million in operating funds last year, more than half of it ($98.5 million) in the general University operation budget. Total revenues came to $184.6 million. More that $59 million of the general University operating funds went for general instruction and educational services. In 1970-71, MSU spent almost $175 million, $92.8 million of it in general University expenses. AMONG OTHER ITEMS in the 11 O-page report are: *The University's endowment fund balance grew to $11.3 million, about $440,000 over the balance at the end of the previous fiscal year. * The value of MSU's land, buildings and equipment is more than $372 million, some $6. 5million higher than a year ago. * The University contributed $4.5 million to the TIAA-CREF retirement plan, and about $2.2 million to the MSU noncontributory plan. * Of 13 colleges (excluding the three residential colleges), the highest expenditures went for natu-rar ·Science ($8 million), arts and letters ($5.4 million), and social science ($5 million). * The athletic department had revenues of just over $2 million (including $1.1 million from football) but finished the fiscal year with a slight deficit ($16,000). * The cost of operation and maintenance of the campus lands and buildings came to $11.9 million. *Faculty and staff parking fees brought in $153,787; the campus bus service received $47'2,606. THE REPORT CITES last year as one in which the University had to anticipate financial crisis and learn to live with it. But it adds that "the spectre of continuing austerity did not deter MSU from seeking ways to broaden its base as an educational resource for the people of Michigan." And it points to some issues that remained unresolved as the year ended: The full implication of the "age of majority law" has not yet become clear (and which could affect sqme $4.5 million a year in out-of-state tuition receipts); the difficulty of playing the "guessing game" of anticipating state appropriations ; and the cost of maintaining and improving the physical plant. "By anticipating cnSlS, MSU has survived it," the report concludes. "but there remains a serious question of how long the University can juggle priorities, put offneeded improvements, and delay the implementation of certain academic and service programs without seeing its basic mission impeded; there is only so long that the University can vigorously pursue excellence without the confidence that its programs will not stagnate for lack of support." Senate meeting cancelled The Academic Senate meeting scheduled for Nov. 8 has been postponed until winter term. The steering committee made the decision Monday because of the lack of urgent business requiring Senate action. James Bonnen, professor of agricultural economics and chairman of the committee, said the postponement would be most advantageous and_ desirable "because it is very probable that several matters requiring expeditious Senate action will be coming through the Academic Council during winter term." Among the possible action items is the proposed bylaw change to create an Peace Corps, state and University officials present at the signing of the Peace Corps and Vista Week proclamation included (from lleft)Gw. WiIliamGIMI1iken; Tom Bigelow, regional Peace Corps. Vista director; and Robert Perrin, MSU vice president for university relations.

Somehow, he'd managed to shuffle some of his other commitments, which included serving as Governor Milliken's special adviser on manpower matters, a member of President Wharton's Task Force on Lifelong Education, a trustee of the National Urban League, consultant to the Regional Manpower Administration in Chicago, and associate director of MSU's School of Labor and Industrial Relations Manpower Programs Service, in order to fly off to Africa to help demobilize the Nigerian Army. For 12 days he toured military camps and hospitals, inspected vocational rehabilitation centers, visited a number of factories and mills, and consulted with AID and Nigerian officials. Then he returned home to outline a plan designed to reduce the size of Nigeria' s army, which remains swollen with veterans of that country's recent civil war. The program he devised is currently being implemented. It involves 18 recommendations to transform soldiers into civilians and at the same time contribute to the economic and social development of the country. As a condition of release from the army, every veteran must be able to read, write, do arithmetic and drive a car or truck, according to Kruger's scheme. In addition, a number of vocational opportunities ranging from farming to paramedical training are being made available. In his South Kedzie Hall office, he explains some of the unique features of the Nigerian Army that make demobilization an intricate and potentially thorny undertaking. "For one thing, military pay is quite a bit higher than for most civilian jobs," he says, "and throwing thousands of men into an economy that can't absorb them, particularly after you've taught them how to fight, can be a dangerous move." He said the Nigerian experience is just the reverse of that in the United States; you have to provide some substantial incentives to encourage veterans to leave the army. He recommends the use of a bonus and government subsidization of some civilian occupations to ease this transition. A large number of the veterans are disabled and would be a continual drain on a developing economy if rehabilitation programs are not successful. He points to one center where veterans are being trained to make artificial limbs, serving to teach them a trade and simultaneously provide the prosthetic devices required by their maimed comrads. The whole project has been tremendously eXCiting," he says, "but it has been depressing at times also." He recalls visiting a hospital for blind veterans. "Most of them were hurt because they were not -familiar with rifles, grenades, land mines and other modern weapons," he says. ''They weren't well trained to handle them and the result was a large number of accidents. "At least a kid growing up in the United States can learn something about such things just from watching television or the movies. It seemed so tragic to me that these 18 and 19 - year - old kids wer~ taken out of their villages, put in the army, and this was their first introduction to modern ; technology." His Nigerian trip was not Kruger's first experience in applying human resource development practices abroad. He was a Fulbright scholar in Israel and a consultant to the Organization of American States in Honduras. It was in Israel that he frrst saw the use of an army, with its educational and vocational training resources, as a constructive social force. He believes the experiences of Israel and now of Nigeria may serve as prototypes for other developing countries. .:...

Local 999, bargaining unit for skilled trades workers, accepted a 26 cent per hour pay increase, and agreed to participate in the TIAA - CREF retirement program and the University's long - term disability program.

Cristo Rey has special tneaning for faculty Cristo Rey Community Center, the newest area agency to affiliate with the United Community Chest of Greater Lansing, has special meaning for many MSU faculty 2.Ild students. Faculty members in the College of Human Medicine conduct a child health clinic at the center in conjunction with the Ingham County Health Department, and University students volunteer their services at the Northside Athletic and Recreation Club (NARC) based at the facility. A meeting place for Spanish - speaking families in the Greater Lansing area, Cristo Rey began its association with the United Community Chest in March of this year. It is one of 45 local, state and national agencies supported by the Community Chest, whose current annual drive continues through Nov. 16. The University goal of $200,000 is part of an area goal of $2,173,500. The community center for residents on the northside of Lansing offers English language classes, legal advice, housing and employment assistance, and social and recreational opportunities. F our members of the faculty of the College of Human Medicine who are active in the child-health clinic are Saroj Kapur, Thomas B. Scullion, and Margaret and John W. Jones. A number of human medicine, osteopathic medicine and nursing students also get valuable clinical experience at Cristo Rey. "Sometimes we fwd small or more significant illnesses which we can treat at our regular clinics or which may require emergency care or even hospitalization," says Kapur. "Most of the families have no regular family doctor." She adds that the medical faculty and students obtain experience comparable to that in private practice. Amy Rohman, a junior majoring in Latin American Studies, is the student coordinator of the NARC program. She explains that the program is involved in a number of activities including field trips to places like Washington, Chicago and Cedar Point in addition to many recreation activities such as team sports, swimming, horseback riding, and trips to area football games. " I n many of the families, both parents have to work, and we can provide opportunities the kids would miss otherwise," she says. • lJive 111e Unl.tedway UNITED COMMUNITY CHEST Chest drive at 36 percent Contributions made to the United Community Chest by the MSU faculty and staff totaled $76,742.12, or 38.4 per cent of the campus goal of $200,000, Tuesday, "Returns to date have been encouraging," John C. Howell, MSU campaign chairman, said. "However, we still have a considerable distance to go in the remaining two weeks of the campaign. "The need for the services of Community Chest agencies are con tinuous throughout the year, and doing our share to provide these services through contributions is of vital importance."

Six campus police officers, fue department personnel, and William most unusual adventures he has had during the last 16 years in his position as pest control officer. Hodge, age 67, retires in January. In addition to his years on the MSU staff, he served the University for 12 years as a private extenninator. for keeping pests under control. In addition to flies and cockroaches, the office handles bats, raccoons, squirrels and pigeons. Hodge recalls some unusual problems he has handled. "Once we had to get a boa constrictor out of a wall in a campus building," he says. " It got there because of a student prank." According to Hodge, boa constrictors will come out of hiding with a bowl of milk as bait. He told of another time when a rooster, "probably from the poultry farm," took his stand on top of a former University building and began to crow. "It was 4 a.m. and it was up to me to get the thing down," he says. He accomplished his mission. Working early hours have been a part of Hodge's job. "We usually do our extenninating during hours when there aren't that many people around," he says. "But the chemicals we use aren't harmful to people, only pests." * * * AMONG THE chemicals the department uses is a mixture invented by Hodge. It's a fog spray used against flies, mosquitoes and roaches. "We use about 1,000 gallons a year of this chemical," he says. Bats are one of the main pest problems on campus, Hodge says. "The bats have perfect hiding places in older buildings, such as Morrill Hall, where the fireplaces have been boarded up and covered to update the building." Hodge, a native of Dover, England, entered pest work after 23 years in the printing business. "I decided to join the MSU staff so that my children would have better educational opportunities than 1 had," he says. "All of my children have three at MSU." received their degrees - Hodge and his wife, Gladys, who also retires in January after 16 years as Wilson Hall's secretary, have eight grandchildren. The Hodges, who are active in area church work, plan to travel to England after their retirements. Additionally, Hodge plans to do exploratory work for area chemical companies. "I only hope 1 don't begin to deteriorate with retirement," Hodge says.

I've read about the changes in the sick leave policy. But what if I'm disabled or need time off for personal reasons? A. Concerning disability leave, an A-P employee with at least five years' continuous full-time employment is eligible ' for extended disability leave. In cases where total disabilitYjis expected to result, an eligible A-P employee will be granted extended paid disability leave for up to six months. This leave includes the aggregate (not to exceed six months) of accumulated sick leave, vacation and personal time due an employee. Extended sick leave benefits will terminate when the employee becomes eligible for long-term disability. Personal leave without pay may be granted for up to one month for such reasons as: Settlement of an estate, serious illness of one of the employee's family, child care, extended trip, and temporary termination of the employee's work, but not for the purpose of obtaining employment elsewhere. An extension for periods of up to five additional months may be granted. Employees on personal leave for periods of one month or less will be returned to the position held when the leave began. Employees on personal leave exceeding one month must have prior ,agreement with the University for their return to work. Employees may return early from a personal leave upon agreement of the University.
