MSU News -Bulletin Vol. 4, No. 10 Michigan State University NOVEMBER 22, 1972 Final TIAA-CREF clinics set Nov. 29-30 Fillal TIAA/CREF enrollment clinics will be held for clerical - technical and hourly employees in the Con - Con Room of the International Center Nov. 29 and 30. Employees who have been unable to attend the "Group B" clinics and who are between the ages of 35 and 55 (as of Jan. 1, 1973) with three years of service should make arrangements to attend a special set of clinics Wednesday morning, Nov. 29. Participation in TIAA/CREF for these employees is required. Clinics have also been planned for employees for whom participation ,in TIAA/CREF is optional. These include full - time employees who will have three years of service and are under 35 years of age as of Jan. 1, 1973, and part - time employees (50 per cent or more) who have five continuous years of service as of ~ Jan. 1,1973. Employees wishing to enroll must bring a birth certificate or other proof of age. Due to the large number of employees who wish to enroll in TIAA/CREF, the Personnel Office requests that employees attend clinics other than the one for which they are scheduled only if it is impossible to attend the assigned clinic. All employees should check with their supervisors before attending a clinic. MSU Foundation approved GROUP B MAKE-UP CLINICS (TIAA/CREF llarticipation required) Last name begins with ...

Articles of incorporation will be filed with appropriate state agencies in the is near future and expected to begin accepting gifts on behalf of the UOiversity within a year. foundation the "The MSU Foundation will provide our overall development effort with says significantly more Leslie W. Scott, vice president for development. flexibility," "It will allow us to accept and manage assets that are not generally available to the UOiversity itself." The private foundation would serve the University as its sole beneficiary, though legally it will be a separate entity. Such foundations are features of most other major state universities in the country. The foundation will be able to accept such assets as land and trust funds, manage them, and turn them over to the University for research and academic programs. Vice President Scott said a managing director and a 16-member board of directors for the new foundation would be selected in the near future. A to the friendly amendment interim grievance procedure will be on the agenda for both the Elected Faculty Council and the Academic Council when the groups meet Tuesday, Nov. 28. The Elected Faculty will meet at 3 p.m. and the Council at 3: 1 5 p.m. in the Con Con Room of the International Center. T he amendment, to clarifY the composition of the Appeals Panel, was proposed by Trustee Patricia Carrigan at the September meeting of the MSU Board of Trustees. It modifies Section 3.8.7.4. and sta.te.S. that "three faculty members shall be selected by the Faculty Tenure / Committee from its membership followed by the selection of two faculty members selected at random from the University Appeals Board so that the resulting Appeals Panel shall consist of three tenured and two non-tenured faculty members." The amendment has been approved by the University Tenure Committee. The Council will vote on the amendment if it is approved by the Elected Faculty Council. The remainder of the Council's agenda is light with a curriculum committee report and a report by President Wharton on the organization of the Elected Student Council. -Page 2, Nov. 22, 1972 { Science notes J Prof's work in two worlds is rewarded . , He makes the best of two worlds - received an award of $25,000 for the effort. ' teaching and research - and has just MSU chemise James F. Harrison recently received the prestigious Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar; Grant for his outstanding work in chemistry research and teaching. The MSU Chemistry Department gets a supplementary $3,000. Comparable to the Sloan Foundation awards, but with more emphasis on teaching.quality, the Dreyfus awards (only 16 granted this year) originated with an Advisory Committee in 1969 at the suggestion of Mrs. Jean Dreyfus Boissevain, fOundation president. . Nominators attested to Harrison's teaching competence, \\hich borders on the legendary for a teacher only 31 years old. ' "Professor Harrison has got to be one of the best teachers in the world," said one student who nominated Harrison for the award. "It is obvious that his motives are not just to teach courses, but to teach students." Also nominating Harrison was the Graduate Student Teaching Committee of the College of Natural Science: "He is not afraid to innovate; he is one of the few professors who has made valuable use of typing and distribution of notes for students' use during a lecture." As any teacher knows, the preparation for class is time-demanding: "Seventy percent of my teaching is outside of the classroom, doing what one has to do to present a good course," says Harrison. .BY PHILLIP MILLER He conducts evening sessions every other week for students who gather to discuss with him their problems in chemistry. In addition, there are the other visits with students that make up is actual teaching. And then there classtime, the top of the teaching iceberg. Why conduct research if teaching is so demanding? "It's almost necessary to do research to be !Hgood teacher if you teach at the college level," says Harrison. "The informatiAAcWe have is expanding so rapidly that I believe only the people who are in ~he.,process of contributing to that development can sort out what is significant ,and what is not, and convey this significance to their students in the most effective way." What has Harrison contributed? Retirements approved for 15 The Board approved 15 retirements at its Nov. 17 meeting. These include: LOUIS A.

One story about Harrison, distilled and heady, is that the results of many years of experiments on the part of one Nobel Prize winner didn't agree with Harrison's computerized predictions of what the Nobel laureate should have observed. The story goes that he sent a letter to the eminent chemist and suggested that he recheck his laboratory results. Harrison rebuts that version of what happened: You don't just ask a Nobel laureate to check his data, says Harrison. Here is how it happened: Around 1960, Gerhard Herzberg published his version of the structure of one of the basic units of organic cheJ!!istry; a two-carbon, two-hydrogen short -lived entity called methylene. Herzberg, who is with the National Research Council of Canada and won the Nobel Prize in 1971, said the atoms were lined up pretty much in a straight line. "Calculations by myself and other people," says Harrison, "indicated that the molecule was bent such that the angle between the two CH bonds was 1360'" rather than 1800 ." The calculations were discounted by most chemists. They preferred to believe the experiment. But two years ago, simultaneously at Penn State, Bell Telephone Laboratories, and Rutgers, people ran electron spin resonance experiments which showed that the molecule was indeed bent 137 0, within one degree of Harrison's prediction. Herzberg reexamined his data and now agrees with the newer calculations. "It's an instance where we had a very difficult experiment to do and the calculation was ahead of the game," says Harrison. "The calculation was correct for many years but was not so regarded until recently." Harrison did his calculations and communicated with Herzberg through a published letter. "I simply suggested that the experiments needed to be re-examined," says Harrison. "We are at the point now where in some areas the theoretical calculation is competitive with the experiment," says the teacher - researcher with the Dreyfus feather in his cap. History in sound "Their finest hour" By G. Robert Vincent Curator, National Voice Library (Actual recordings that detail this and other events are available in the National Voice Library on the fourth floor of the Library. An appointment can be made by calling 355-5122.) This is a short story about a inspHIllg personality, really Wiston Churchill. England and Germany were at war again in the fall of '39. Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler had failed and the British public demanded new strong leadership in 1940. As the Nazis overran the European continent and were poised for an invasion of England, Mr. Churchill became the prime minister. last CHURCHILL: " ... The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. . .. Let us, therefore, brace ourselves to our duty and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth for a thousand years, men will still say 'This was their fmest hour' . . . " Britain courageously fought on alone. France capitulated. For many weary months the lone warriors suffered great defeats. Then came Pearl Harbor and a new ally. With Americans and Britons battling on the western front and Russians on the east, Germany finally was forced to surrender. Winston Churchill had a ,delightful sense of humor. Talking to some American GIs during a 4th of July celebration, after the war, he said: " . . . I'm directly descended, through my mother, from an 0 , f fi c e r - who s e r v e din Washington's Army (LAUGHTER & CHEERING) and, as such, I have been made a member, of your strictly select Society of the Cincinnati (LAUGHTER). I have my pedigree, supported by affidavits at every stage, if it is challenged (LAUGHTER) So . . . " (LAUGHTER & what! APPLAUSE) What I've always believed to be one of Churchill's most moving remarks was made on his 80th birthday, surrounded by hundreds of his admirers: '~; ;.e- ~ ~ -~ .~ ! .. . . . I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely, that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless and, as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it and, if I found the right words, you must remember that I've always earned my living by tongue. my pen and by my (LAUGHTER) It was the nation and the race all round the globe that had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar! ... " Around the · camp-us: A summary_ ~ Page 3, Nov .. 22, 1972 The State ranks 5th in funding Michigan ranks fifth in the country in total state appropriations and 15th in per capita funds allotted to higher education, according to a nationwide survey of state higher education appropriations prepared by M. M. Chambers of Illinois State University for the Chronicle of Higher Education. Like the country as a whole, the growth rate in state spending on high~r education has dropped considerably in Michigan during the last two years, but not as dramatically as it has in most other states. Michigan's total higher education appropriation for 1972-73 of $417,815,000 placed the state behind only California (with a budget of slightly over $1 billion), New York, Illinois and Texas. On a per capita basis, Michigan taxpayers contribute $46.08 to higher education compared to a national average of $41.46. Hawaii and Alaska have the highest per capita appropriations with $84.95 and $73.75 respectively, and New Hampshire than $10 below 49th ranked Massachusetts with $26.79. last with $16.79, more ranks The most significant fact to emerge from Chambers' analysis is the decline in the growth rate of state appropriations. Between 1968-69 and 1970-71, expenditures for higher education throughout the country expanded by 39 per cent. During the last two fiscal years, it grew by only 23 per cent, a 16 per cent drop. Michigan's appropriations growth rate for the same two periods declined 9 per cent, from 31 per cent to 22 per cent. Among Michigan's 13 state - supported colleges and universities, MSU experienced the third -lowest appropriations growth rate during the last two years - 17 per cent. Only Eastern Michigan University and Ferris State College with a 14 per cent change were lower. Grand Valley State College with a 78 per cent increase in appropriations over the last two years and Oakland University with a 45 per cent increase experienced the highest appropriations growth rates in the state. New text lists deficiencies Professionals in agriculture throughout the world are usually well - outfitted with an "urban and academic background," and as a result they have a hard time constructing extension education programs that serve the needs of rural people. This is the contention that two agricultural specialists - one of them from MSU - make in a new book that examines agricultural extension education in 12 nations, including the United States, Great Britain, Japan, India, Pakistan and Ni~eIia. The authors are George H. Axinn, MSU professor of agricultural economics, and Sudhakar Thorat, who earned the Ph.D. at MSU and now is professor at Mahatma Phule Agricultural University in Poona, India. Their book is called "Modernizing World Agriculture: A Comparative Study of Agricultural Education Systems" (praeger Publications, New York). They say that agricultural professionals are versed in technology, and so they tend to work for "governments, schools, banks, and agricultural industry." "Throughout the world," Dr. Axinn and Dr. Thorat add, "they tend to despise the farmer - the cultivator. This makes it very difficult for them to design and implement extension education programs that fit the needs and interests of rural people." The two authors say that their focus is on "the hundreds of millions of people who till the soil and manage the livestock, and who literally feed and clothe us all. "Most of the people on this earth live on the land and struggle to survive," they add. "Life is tough, work is hard, and amenities are few . But life has its quality too. The sun is warming, the air is clean, and the Gods seem near .... " Axinn is also president and executive director of the Midwest Universities Consortium for International Activities, Inc., housed at MSU. It includes MSU, Indiana University, and the Universities of Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Doctors support MSU study The Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) is supporting efforts by MSU's College of Human Medicine to determine the feasibility of setting up community - based medical training programs in the Upper Peninsula. At a recent meeting of the MSMS House of Delegates, the organization went on record to endorse and offer assistance to the feasibility study. The delegates also voted to encourage MSU to recruit qualified students from rural Michigan for the proposed programs. MSU recently received a federal grant to study the feasibility of using tTpper Peninsula colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics and physicians to teach medical students and other health professionals to help alleviate a shortage of physicians. . The resolution endorsing the MSU study was mtroduced by Escanaba physician Donald Fitch, who told the delegates that "there are many trained, experienced doctors of medicine who are qualified to establish medical training programs in the Upper Peninsula." He also pointed out that, with only one physician for every 1,284 residents the Upper Peninsula is well below the national average of one doctor for every 761 persons. Driving and drinking don't mix We must, educate today's driver on how to drink and drive more safely. That's the paradoxical contention of Dr. J. Robert Howenstine, assistant chief of the Crime Prevention Laboratory, Michigan Department of Public Health. AlcOhOl warps the judgment of even tlie experienced driver, and it poses great danger for the 488,000 Michigan 18 - to 20 - year - olds who are able to drink -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- legally for the lust time, Howenstine told Michigan women highway safety leaders meeting last week in Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. "Safety experts are pretty much agreed that it is pointless to tell the public not to drink and drive, because people do it anyway; a more practical approach is to educate the public on how to drink and drive more safely," he declared. He explained that a federally supported study shows that two - thirds of American adults drink; that 41 percent of them are light to moderate drinkers; 12 percent, heavy drinkers, and 15 percent, infrequent drinkers. And most adults drive, he said. "The inexperienced driver needs to know what effect a given amount of alcohol will have on him and on his driving, before he drinks and becomes involved in a tragedy, Howenstine told the safety leaders. "Unfortunately, one of the fust effects of alcohol is to impair their judgment, including the ability to evaluate one's own actions or to make decisions on how much more to drink." Howenstine underscored the danger to the young driver who "attempts to handle alcohol" at the same time he is "learning to determine braking distances, proper acceleration, how to judge distances and passing speeds and how to react to complex traffic situations in split seconds. • Chorale to give concert The Christmas season will be ushered in musically in mid-Michigan when the MSU Chorale performs Handel's "Messiah" at 8: 15 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, in the Music Auditorium. Under the direction of Robert Harris, the University Chorale will perform part one of the "Messiah"- the first 21 movements. This section, which 'runs about an hour, is complete in itself and deals with the prophecy and birth of the Christ child. "The Messiah' is probably Handel's most inspired and definitely his most popular work," said Harris. "However, it is seldom performed in the way Handel conceived it. It was not written for a large chorus and symphony orchestra, but rather for a smaller performing f01OO." The 'performance will involv6'rihe 25-voice University Chorale and a 14-piece chamber orchestra which will mCIude oboes, bassoons, strings and harpsichord. It will also employ some of the vocal techniques of the Baroque period. . "In the Baroque period," said Harris, "individual singers would ornament the arias written by Handel and other composers. This added a certain flair and individuality to the performance and demonstrated the skill and vocal technique of the singer." The ornamentation, Harris explained, is not a continuous improvisation as in jazz, but rather an occasional embellishment of the melodic lme. This is the University Chorale's third season and Harris says he has seen growth and improvement each year. "Standards are higher, and 1 am more selective in choosing voices. I try to take a professional approach in training this ensemble." The group includes mostly graduate students. Several off-campus appearances are scheduled for the group this season, including concerts at Oakland University, the University of Western Ontario and a performance of the "Symphony of Psalms" with MSV's State Singers and the Battle Creek Symphony. --- The performance is open to the public without charge. Subantarctic grant renewed \ MSU botanist Henry A. Imshaug has received a $31,200 renewal grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his research in the subantartic, a region just north of the Antarctic Circle; The MSU botanist begins his next trek to the i suhamrctic' next to trips The continuing NSF grant has supported his the subanarctic where he explores islands off New Zealand. He searches for and collects lichens, moss-like plants which are fungi mixed with microscopic algae. The MSU scie-ntis! is seeking a relationship between the remote islands and continental drift by using the plants as evideace for the link "We're trying to visit as many of these remote islands as possible," says Dr. Imshaug. "The islands probably have been closely linked with South America and its islands. We have found that the plants of the areas of New Zealand and Chili are quite similar." The N'ational Science sponsoring is also Foundation drilling expeditions in the same region for supporting clues to the continental drift.

The reason, he says, is because he doesn't have a "jOb." Although University records have ltim labelled as a professor of humanities, Crane says the title doesn't indicate work, lJut a hobby. "Teaching, music and writing poetry are my hobbies," he says. And by all indications, especially from students, he is successful in all of his hobbies. Crane joined the University faculty in 1953 after receiving his M.A. in 1950 from the University of Chicago and his Ph.!irr..in English in 1953 from the University of Dlinois. He was a teaching assis~tl in English at lllinois from 1950- 53 . "But I am not a college graduate," he says. ~'fw.dn't get a bachelor's degree." During the time others from his h.igh school tla~s y.rere attending college, Crane was traveling with "no name" bands and sporting a clarinet. He was also serving in the Navy. maw ) But the G.!. Bill and a persuasive woman (his wife Elayne) motivated him to complete his PhD. and go into teaching. He says he feels especially lucky that his scholarly travels have brought ltim to MSU and humanities. "Where else could a guy teach Japanese humanities, the Greco and Roman period, the Bible, and jazz history all in one term," he says. Sitting in one of his classes reveals his enthusiasm for students and teaching. He gets excited about Biblical characters and updates them for the students into popular television and political figures. His gestures, his pacing and his voice levels turn his lectures into plays and ltimself into one of the actors. "I like the students to get the feeling that they are having a one - to - one relationship with me, even though there may be more than 100 students in the room," he says. "To me teaching should be a conversation." Additionally, according to Crane, he d.oesn't belieYe in talking down or up to any of his students. "But 'each student should get some,thilJ.g~t : of my lectures whether he has an I.Q. of 84 or 184," he adds. ,'Iv:, "Each student comes to the University with a vessel to be filled. And no matter if it is a shot glass or a 12 - gallon jug, the student should leave the University with it full." Crane says that not only does he like students, but he believes them to be human beings.

Crane is also a "greeter." He is the professor who meets with parents of incoming freshmen. And he is the professor who welcomes the National Merit scholars to campus each year. He attributes these honors to the fact that he's" a talker." Talking well has given him an opportunity for another "hobby" - serving as an occasional interviewer on local television stations. And television work has given ltim the opportunity to talk with such people as film critic Judith Crist and Madame Nhu's father. Another "marvelous" thing in his life, according to Crane, is his band. The "Geriatrics - 6, plus 1" is composed of faculty members who specialize in Dixieland. "It's a great opportunity for all of us to get together," he says. Crane says there are many outstanding things in his life, and being a proud father, he lists his four children among the "most outstanding." His goal, according to Crane, is just what he's doing now. "After all, these are the good'ole days." "' " '(, -SANDRA DALKA . Tell Personnel .

Page S, Nov. 22, 1972 Investor, consumer policy outlined At its Nov. 17 meeting, the MSU Board of Trustees approved a policy spelling out the University's role as an investor and consumer. The full text of that policy is printed below. The University as Investor and Consumer: Social ~sponsibility in Business Affairs The University as a corporate entity carries on business affairs including investing, purchasing, employing people, acting as a landlord for University housing, and deciding (University) land use policy. These and other necessary business activities affect the neighboring community, the state, and the nation. It is essential that the University consider these effects on the community as it manages its affairs. Elements of a General Philosophy on University Business Affairs. The major purposes of Michigan State University are education, research, and plblic service. ' The University has an obligation to seek and disseminate knowledge and understanding. In carrying out these primary functions, the University will inevitably have an impact on the social,'economic, and political institutions within the society of which it is a part, but the University's functioning can be neither motivated nor directed by political ends. The major aim of the University in its business affairs is to support the academic role of th~ University. The University must seek to maximize cost effectiveness relationships to best support these primary functions. To do otherwise is to negate the role that society at large has prescribed. As a publicly chartered institution, Michigan State University should exhibit social conscience and shOUld act accordingly in the conduct of its own business affairs. Individuals or groups within the University community who wish to question University business actions or influence its business policies should have an opportunity to do so. Most decisions, of course, are routine in nature and should be expedited to serve the University community. Yet, provision needs to be made for careful consideration of special cases and circumstances whenever they arise. Public interest questions are typically complex and often impossible for obtaining consensus. Information required for treating such questions is difficult and costly to obtain, and, often, is highly subjective. The University is a very large and complexcommun,ity-its constitueow)s even more so, as many competing interests' are" represented. For Michigan , State University to become an advocate of a particular group opinion carries risk of loss of effectiveness in its research, teaching, and service functions. fec:ommendations on University Investments.A. Guidelines. 1. The University cannot and should not be expected to police a large number of public corporations in which it has ~vestments. It can and should seek to avoid socially negative investments; and it can and should re-evaluate holdings in rare cases when evidence is presented that re-evaluation is appropriate. 2. The performance of investment counselors who advise the University on the investment of its funds should be reviewed periodically. Performance should be assessed primarily upon optimal investment criteria such as returns and risks. The investment counselors shall be informed of these guidelines. However, the University may choose not to follow the advice of investment counselors for reason of social responsibility, among others. of questions that are likely to arise prohibit establishing 3.The complexity specific criteria for judging social responsibility. Questions arising will have to be examined individually. 4. The responsible officials of the University, or their designees, shall vote all proxy statements and cast a vote on all issues presented, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees. B. Implementation. 1. The University Business Affairs Committee shall have the responsibility for reviewing the social performance of any company included in the investment portfolio and which is brought to the attention of the University as not performing in a socially responsible way. Upon completIon of the review, the committee shall have the responsibility of making recommendations regarding the status of the company's continuance in the University's portfolio to the appropriate University official. 2. The committee may initiate a review when some individual or group 'within the University requests it and is ready to support its claims with information and research regarding the firm in question. , 3. Representatives of any company being reviewed will be informed of any complaint against the company and will be invited to defend its social performance before the colnrnittee. 4. Voting of proxies will normally support management on routine matters. When SEC approved proxy solicitation does arise concerning aspects of social responsibility with support frw.nr.an individual or group within : the University, the solicitation shall be referriil ,£0 the University Business Mfairs Committee for review and recommendations to the responsible University officials. v fl <3 I> Futuristic center services MS'U The year isn't "2001." There's no "Space Odyssey." And there isn't an electronic "Hal." But like the fantasy movie tale of computer control, the MSU data processing center seems like something out of the future. Located in the basement of the Administration Building, the center is a maze of machines, offices and people - all in constant activity. this activity that produced approximately 299,304 paychecks for the University last fiscal year. It's this activity that ,processes approximately 640,000 grade Cards fOF students each It's year. It's this activity that makes the campus telephone directories possible. Frank Martin, who has been with the University for 34 years, heads the center. He saw the department become updated from tabuhiting machines in 1938 to computers in 1963. Three generations of computers have serviced the University in the last nine years. The newest generation of equipment, the IBM 370/155 line, will be installed in the center next week. I 0 "This generation of equipment is more advanced and has more capacity and storage terminals than the equipment we're now using," Martin says. In expectation of the new equipment, 42 of the center's 70 staff members have been receiving upgraded training. The department into a is basically organized systems and programming division and an ::ss: operations division. Each division serves the three major "user" areas. These are university business, student records and the university ,general. During 1971-72, more than 24,000 time were hours of production produced by programming group. the systems and The center is supported equally by the offices of the vice president for fInance and the provost under which the three main user areas 'corne. Other departments or colleges who might have a "special project request" are serviced on a charge basis. The facility operates 24 hours a day five days a week. Additionally, one computer operates on weekends. Ronald Soltis, documents and research supervisor, explains that over the weekends, the computer basically serves such areas as the University's telephone offIce. I "' / " "The campus operators can, by using a program code, instantly fmd a person's listing in the directories. The listing is transmitted on a tube similar to a television screen," he says. to Soltis, these te~eprocessing tube screens are located in various other University offices, such as accounting. According Program codes can be changed hourly, daily or as often as required to provide security. :> Security is important to tOO data processing center because of the vast University records contained in the facility. Martin explained that as a security measure, records are also stored in other locations in a two - county area surrounding the University. "That's in case a tornado or fIre damaged the files in the center," he says. "However, the in a , tapes are contained master fireproof vault that will protect them up to 4,000 degrees." Information in the center is stored on cards, tapes or disks. The disks" resemble long playing records and are ' stored in packs in a disk storage facility. Each pack has 20 recording sides information. The packS v revolve at a speed of 2,400 revolutions. ' per minute. "They revolve at such a speed they aren't that it appears moving at all," Soltis says. for To retrieve information, in addition , to tOO teleprocessing, a printer is used: , Siinilar to a typewriter, a printer can produce 20 lines per minute. The center also is equiped with (non computer) machines.

It was the last meeting of the year. ROLE AS AN INVESTOR The policy statement on MSU as investor and consumer, including \ its social responsibility, was approved by the Board by a 7-1 vote. Trustee Warren Huff opposed the motion. The policy provides that individuals or groups from within the University may ask for a review of any company in the MSU portfolio or may raise a question on a proxy vote, when social responsibility is involved. Such matters would be referred to the University Business Affairs Committee for review and recommendations. Huff said that he is opposed to a committee being involved in the procedure because the University "has a monstrous committee system" and because of the dollars spent for faculty time on committees. The business affairs committee is a standing committee of the Academic Council which includes 14 faculty members and 7 students. "We have highly paid administrators the perfectly capable of making decisions," he said, "and there is, no need for a committee." Roger Wilkinson, vice president for business and finance, said that the committee only serves in an advisory capacity and the administration makes the decisions. PERSONNEL ACTIONS The Board accepted the resignation of Hugh Duffy Daugherty as MSU head football coach after 19 seasons and appointed him special assistant to the vice president for development. (See related story) The Board passed a resolution introduced by Trustee Blanche Martin lauding Daugherty for his long and distinguished service to the University. Trustees Patricia Carrigan and Frank Hartman also praised the MSU coach. Trustee - elect Jack Stack, however, requested permission to address the Board and expressed his displeasure that Daugherty spoke against Proposal B on local television the day before the Nov. 7 general election. (The proposal, which was defeated, would have legalized abo_rtion in the state.) _ Stack, invited to participate unofficially in the meeting, said that he was personally displeased that such a "great man" with so much fame should speak publicly on the issue. "It was detrimental to the Proposal and especially to the welfare of the women of the state," he said. Duffy to fill new post public relations, and of course handles himself extremely well before large groups. "He has a warm, personal type of appeal, and has built up a large number of friends and acquaintances throughout the country." Scott said Daugherty would be in attracting particularly effective contributions intercollegiate to the athletic program, but would also be invaluable in the capital gift campaign that MSU is likely to undertake in the' future. Nineteen years of patrolling the Spartan Stadium sidelines have given Daugherty a solid identity with the institution. "When Duffy phones an alumnus in California," Scott said with a grin, "he won't have to waste a lot of time identifying himself." Daugherty's appointment is effective on January 1, but he was also granted a three month leave of absence before starting the new job. "I plan to relax and unwind a bit after the football season and possibly travel some with my family," he said of his leave plans. . Books NORMAN O. PENLINGTON, professor of humanities, is author of a book entitled ''The Alaska Boundary Dispute: A Critical Reappraisal," which was published recently as part of the Frontenac Library by McGraw - Hill Ryerson, Ltd. ' CHARLES S. ST. CLAIR, professor of natural science, is the editor of a paperback, "Development of Geological Knowledge," published by the MSU Press. DUFFY DAUGHERlY Duffy Daugherty's resignation as MSU football coach has stirred mixed feelings among many on campus, but Leslie W. Scott, soon to be Daugherty's new boss, is in a particular quandary in thinking about the Irislunan's decision to leave coaching. On the one hand, as a long - time friend of Daugherty, loyal Spartan fan, and former faculty representative to the Big Ten from MSU, Scott shares the nostalgic sense of loss at seeing the Daugherty era come to an end. On the other, as vice president for development, Scott the tremendous asset Daugherty will be in strengthening and expanding the University's development programs. recognizes He does not hide his delight in havin~ Daugherty aboard. Following Friday's Board meeting, at which Daugherty was appo'inted special assistant to Scott, the vice president talked about a new role for the man who has coached Spartan grid teams for the last 19 years. "Duffy has alJ the attributes to help us huild a strong development team," Scott said. "He has an innate talent for _Trustee CarTIgan said that if Daugherty affected the defeat of the Proposal, "we can't afford to lose a man with that much prestige." The meeting was also attended by the Board's other new member, Aubrey Radcliffe, a social, vocational and academic counselor for the Lansing Public School System. Stack and Radcliffe, both RepUblicans, will occupy Board seats now held by Trustees Clair A. White and Frank Hartman. '13 appointments, In other personnel actions, the Board approved four academic promotions, 19 leaves, 15 transfers and change in assignment, 24 resignations and 15 retirements. Judith Ann Turk, currently extension family living editor in the Department of Information Services, was appointed an assistant to the president. ' Trustee Carrigan remarked that it was good to see that the position was filled by a woman and that there would now be a woman in the Administrative Group. MSU FOUNDATION The Board also approved the creation of the MSU Foundation. (See related story). The move was made in an effort to attract more private financial support for the Un~ersity. OTHER ITEMS The Board approved changes in the Student Motor Vehicle Regulations allOwing students to drive or park on campus after University work hours and on weekends without registe~g their vehicles. These privileges are currently extended to the public. Gifts grants and scholarship funds totaling approximately $2.5 million were accepted by the Board. Major grants are supportive of academic programs, and research and development in audiology and speech science, agricultural education at the international level, human medicine, remote sensing in relation to botany and plant pathology, public health, and the MSU Institute of Water Research. Alterations of space under the south balcony of the University Auditorium were approved by the Board. The alterations, costing $10,700, will provide suitable space to accommodate the WKAR - AM/FM electronics repair shop when its present quarters in Quonset No. 59 are razed later this fall.

University is short of goal Pledges and contributions by faculty and staff to the United Community Chest as of Nov. 16, the fmal day of the formal campus drive, amounted to $173,282 or 87% of the · University's goal of $200,000. Campus campaign chairman, John C. Howell, said: "Without minimizing this achievement, to acknowledge a certain disappointment that stems from an optimism shared by many during the first weeks of the 9' campus campaign. is necessary it "Pledges and contributions reported during that period ran appreciably ahead of last year's and the hope was that our goal would be met. "Unfortunately contributions in the fourth and fmal week of the formal campaign fell appreciably below what last year. Apparently was achieved earlier the diligence of many volunteer workers in distributing pledge cards and not an the number of persons increase to support Community Chest willing through the campus drive," Howell said. reflected more reports in to be reported, he There are outstanding contributions further still is a In addition, explained. post-campaign effort in some units to contact persons who have yet to return their pledge cards. However, it is not expected that these will be sufficient to reach the goal. there Among the University divisions that exceeded 100% of their goal were: -University Relations, 162.3%; Lyman Briggs College, 145.8%; College of Human Ecology, 131.6%; College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, 115.7%; College of Education, 113.7%; Executive Vice President's Office, 104.4%; and Dormitories and Food Services, 103.7%. There were also over 220 units within other divisions meeting or exceeding the 100% mark. "To these divisions and units and to all contributors should come a sense of satisfaction in knowing that because of them important social services which otherwise would not have been available will be provided to citizens of our community," Howell said.
