Ten percent sought 

F A FCC,  U look  back and ahead 

Ten  percent - that's what the faculty 
is  seeking  via  the  University  Faculty 
Affairs  and  Faculty  Compensation 
Committee  (F AFCC)  in  salary  ihcreases 
in the 1913-14 budget. 

It  is  also  the  amount  the  University 
its 

administration  has  included 
in 
budget request  to Governor Milliken. 

Frederick  Williams,  F AFCC  chairman 
and  professor  of  histqry,  said 
that 
although  the  recommended  10  percent 
increase  is  less  than  what  is  needed  by 
the  faculty,  it  reflects  a  realistic  and 
reasonable hike. 

Provost John Cantlon  said  it  is  much 
too  early  to  predict  what  level  salary 
increase  the  Governor  would 
recommend  for  fiscal  1973-74,  or  what 
amount  the  legislature  would  finally 
appropriate. 

"We  have  asked  for  10  percent,  a 
level  we  believe is  thoroughly justified," 
he  said.  "However,  the  wage  and  price 
legislative  action 
guidelines  and 
that  the  decision  will  be 
detennine 
made elsewhere." 

Cantlon  noted  that  in  the  past  the 
administration  had been  able to provide 
increases  in  excess  of  the 
salary 

resources  allocated  by  the  legislature, 
that  is 
our  ability  to  do 
"b u t 
diminishing  as  a  result  of  continued 
belt-tightening in  all  operational  areas." 
The  FAFCC'  is  currently  studying 
compensation  and  fringe  benefits  for 
faculty.  "We  are 
interested  in 
establishing  a  compensation  system  for 
faculty that doesn't just satisfy demands 
this  year  or  next,  but  a  defendable 
system  that  looks  ahead  to  five  years 
from now," Williams said. 

"We  could  work  each  year  on  these 
goals  with  the  moriey  available,  "  he 
said.  "And  establishing  this  system 
could  have  already  begun  if  the 
,ignored  our 
administration hadn't 
recommendations last  spring." 

TIle FAFCCs recommendations for  the 
1972-73  budget  included  a  system  of 
distributing  a  proposed  7  percent 
increase  to  cover  merit,  "maintenance 
of  competitive  pOSitions,"  and 
elimination of salary inequities. 

Addi tionally, 

the  reconunendations 
provided  equity  adjustments for  female 
faculty  and  the  establishing·  of  base 
salaries  for  each  academic  rank 
(lO-month  equivalents)  over  a  five-year 

Search  begins for dean 

period.  Williams  said  the  base  salary 
system  was  one  of the  more  important 
of the recommendations. 

He  added  that  the  only  FAFCC 
re.c<Ymmendation  adopted  by 
the 
University  from  the  1972-73  study  was 
upgrading female faculty. 

Cantlon  said  the  administation  had 
not  "ignored"  the  FAFCC 
recommendations.  He  said  the  extent of 
the  administration  efforts  to  follow  the 
recommendations  have  not  been  fully 
understood by most faculty. 

"The  FAFCC  recommended  a  7 
percent  increase.  Funds,  however,  were 
available  for  only a 4 percent increase," 
he  said. 

"The  F AFCC  recommended  equity 
adj ustments  totalling  $100,000  for 
female  faculty  and  $50,000  for 
12-month  professors.  Approximately 
$125,000  was  used  for 
two 
purposes," according to Cantlon.

Last  year  the  FAFCC  had 

re commended  $80,000  for 
the 
establishment  of base  salaries  of $8,000 
for 
instructors,  $11 ,000  for  assistant

Proposal passed 

The  Elected  Faculty Council  and  the 
Acadeinic  Council  Tuesday approved an 
amendment  to  the  interim  grievance 
procedure  which  sets  the  composition 
of the Appeals Panel. 

T he  amendment  modifies  Section 
3.8.7.4.  and  states  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." 

An  eight  member  search  committee 
began  the  process  of selecting nominees 
for 
the  deanship  of  Lyman  Briggs 
College  earlier  this week. 

The  committee,  made  up  of  four 
faculty  members  of  the  college,  two 
students,  one  faculty  member  from 
outside  the  college  and  a  representative 
from  the  Provost's  Office,  is  seeking  a 
replacement  for  Dean  F. B.  Dutton who 
plans  to  relinquish  the  deanship  June 
30. 

The  student  members  were  elected 
by  the  Lyman  Briggs  student  body  in  a 
balloting  supervised  by  the  college's 
Student  Advisory  Committee.  The  four 

Lyman  Briggs  faculty  members  were 
nominated  by 
the  College  Advisory 
Committee  and  elected  by  the  faculty 
as  a  whole.  The  other  two  committee 
members were  named by the provost.

( Science notes J 
BANG !-- then  there s a 

• universe 

"In  the  beginning  there  was  darkness  upon 
the  deep.  There  was  light,  and  out  of that 
light came everything we now observe. " 

Dr.  Allan  Sandage  - noted  astronomer  from Mt.  Wilson  and Mount Palomar 
' Observatories  - used  the  Biblical  quote  above  to  end  his  Henry Norris  Russell 
Lecture  at  MSU  last  August.  His  comments  here  at  the  138th  meeting  of the 
American  Astronomical  SoCiety  were  the  basis  for  a November article in Science, 
the prestigious American journal of science. 

Author  of the  article,  Dr.  William  D.  Metz  of the  Science  staff,  said  after  the 
lecture  that he  had heard  similar  references  to  the  creation  of the  universe  from 
other astronomers. 

They  talk  of  an  initial  unleashing  of  tremendous  energy  in  an  expanding 

universe.

"scientists  educated  within  the  western 
Judeo  - Christian  tradition  continue  to

Follow-up  follows  first  appeal 

A  follow-up 

to  the  All-University 
Developmen t  Fund Campaign will begin 
next  week  with  mail  solicitations 
directed  to  facuIty  and  staff,  according 
to  John  D.  Shingleton,  Placement 
Bureau· director  and  chairman  of  the 
campaign committee. 

The  first  phase  of  the  annual  appeal 
began  in  May,  with  approximately  400 
donors  on  campus  providing  $25,500. 
Shingleton  said  the  follow-up  appeal 
to  those  who  have  not  contributed  is 
stressing  three  points;  tax  advantages 
which  greatly  reduce  the  cost  of giving, 
the  ability  of the  donor to deSignate his 
gift  to  the  college  of his choice, and the 
importance  of  faculty  and  staff gifts  in 
generating  donations from  other sources 

such  as  alumni,  corporations  and 
foundations. 

"It  is  important  to  the  over-all 
Develo.p.IJlent  Fund  program  to  be  able 
to  shqW: potential  donors  that  faculty 
and  staff are  willing  to  support  their 
own  university,"  Shingleton 
emphasized. 

Tax  advantages  to  year-end  giving 
include  a  50  per cent Michigan  income 
tax  credit  up  to  a  maximum  of  $100, 
and  federal  income  tax  deductions.  For 
a  donor  with a joint  taxable  income  of 
$13,000,  for  example,  a  $100  gift 
would  actually  cost  about  $40  and  a 
$25  gift would cost only about $9. 

Shingleton  also  noted  that  the  use  of 
payroll  deducation  is available  to spread 
the cost of giving over the year. 

Suburb  is  book's ,subject 

The  residents  of  white,  affluent 
Grosse  Pointe  talk  about  blacks.  The 
few  blacks  who  have  permanently 
crossed  its  boundaries  also  talk  about 
Grosse Pointe. 

Kathy Cosseboom has sought out and 
recorded  their  opinions  in  a  new  167 -
page  book  released  by  the  Michigan 
State University Press - "Grosse Pointe, 
Michigan:  Race Against  Race." 

Mrs.  Cosseboom  was  born  and  grew 
up  in  Grosse  Pointe.  As  a Grosse Pointe 
News  reporter  during  the  summer  of 
1966,  she  followed  police  reporting  of 
the  first  black  family's  move  into  the 
community. 

She  went  back  two  years  ago,  after 
the  initial  furor  had died  down,  to  fmd 
out  what  the  attitudes  were  of  the 
residents  of  the  five  communities  -
Grosse  Pointe  Farms,  Grosse  Pointe 
Woods,  Grosse  Pointe  City,  Grosse

community.  The  first  black  family 
moved  out after several months and few 
others have moved in, she says. 

Mrs.  Cosseboom  examines  housing, 
education, and religion in Grosse Pointe. 
The  book 
is  divided  into  short 
conversations  with  more  than 35  of  the 
people  who  have  been  involved  in  race 
relations  in  the  community,  and 
includes  the  frank  assessment  of  the 
attitudes of her own family. 

The  author spoke with such people as 
a member of the Grosse Pointe Property 
Owners  Association  who said,  "Realtors 
are  showing  property  to  Negroes.  .  . 
they have  to." 

<;;:. 

She  also  includes  conversations  with 
one  of  the  first  blacks  to  enter Grosse 
Pointe  University  School  who  said, 
"Sometimes I'm not  sure  it's worth it," 
and  with  a minister  who  said, "Some of 
our  people  will  have  to  express  their 
true  feelings  if  we  are  going  to  do 
anything  about  redirecting  them  and. 
ourselves." 

Mrs.  Cosseboom  comments,  "Grosse 
Pointe  runs  a  two  - legged  race,  with 
those  seeking  more  racial  contacts  and 
those  who  fear  more  racial  contacts  in 
the same  pant leg. Meanwhile, rumblings 
in  the  nearby  black  ghettos  of Detroit 
nearly  scare  the  pants  off them  both." 
There  is  no  conclusion  to be  drawn, 
she  says,  "Grosse  Pointe  waits,  like 
many  other  similar  communities  and 
often  doesn't know it is waiting. It tires, 
and  drags  its  feet,  fearful  of taking  the 
first step."

close  together  the  ylem had a density  one  million  billion  times  that of ordinary 
water. 

A cube  of ylem,  200 yards  on a side, would be enough matter to duplicate the 

earth. 

What happened when the ylem exploded? 
"Well, in the beginning there was light," commented one astronomer. 
A panel of astronomers  was  asked  by  Jean Pearson  of the Detroit News, what 

happened before the big - bang? 

''That's not a  question for astronomy," replied one panel member. Perhaps the 
astronomer  meant  that  answers  to  such  questions  are  too  speculative  and 
untestable for science. 

Some  astronomers  say  that  the  universe  is  not  expanding  without  limit,  but 
instead  oscillates  with  expansion  and  contraction.  A  similar  idea  of  matter 
"coming - to - be and passing - away" predates Aristotle's works. 

But  as  Sandage  illustrated  with  his talk, ideas of the history of the universe are 

becoming more and more scientific. 

He  talked  about  radiation  from  objects  which  shone  at  about  the  time  that 
only  10  percent  of the  age  of our universe  - an estimated 18 billion years - had 
elapsed. The radiations have been detected by telescope. 

The  primordial objects are  called QSO's, or quasi - stellar objects. They seem to 

have been something related to stars. 

. 

The  200  inch Mount Palomar telescope pulls in light from QSO's which existed 

more than 12 billion years ago: 

QSO  light  is  shifted to a reddish hue, light lowered from it's normal frequency, 
because  of  the  relatively  rapid  increase  of the  distance  between  earth  and  the 
original QSO. 

Similarly,  the  train  sound· at a railway; crossing goes lower than normal in  pitch 
(and  frequency)  as  the  train  travels  away  and  the  distance  between  train  and 
observer'ihcreases.

Sanda:g~ told  AAS  that the  outstanding problem for astronomers was not only 
to  determine  what  the  universe  has  been,  but  to  predict  what  the  universe  will

He  said  the  past  may  become  more  clear  since  the 200 - inch telescope cannot 

fmd a QSO with a red shift of more than 3. 

QSO's appear to hang near the  edge of time. 
"If one  could  substantiate  that  a red  shift  limit  of 3  is  real,"  asked  Sandage, 
"have  we  actually observed the edge  of the universe or the horizon of the universe 
in  time?  If so, this would be a fairly  decent proof that the universe has not always 
been the way it is now, that it has evolved."

;  for less' litter 

Pitch - in! This is clean up week. 
City,  University  and  state  officials 
have  pitched  in,  together,  to  keep  the 
area clean. 

At  a  Monday  morning  kickoff, 
officials  including  Robert  Perrin,  vice 
)resident  of  university  relations;  H. 
':"ynn  Jondahl,  state  representative  -
elect  from  the  59th  District;  George 
Colburn,  East  Lansing  city  councilman 
and  Mark  Rosenhaft,  director  of  the 
MSU  Waste  Control  Authority,  all 
proclaimed the  need for  everyone's help 
to maintain environmental hygiene. 

"We  believe  litter is  a  serious  people 
problem,"  said  Rosenhaft.  "Whether  it 
is  Joe  College  discarding  a beer  can,  or 
Sally  High  School  throwing  away  a 
lunch  sack, or  Fred  Faculty grinding out 
a  cigarette  butt,  or  Football  Fan Harry 
dumping  his  ticket  stub,  program,  or 
popcorn  box  on  the  ground  - someone 
has to pick it up  after them. 

"Our  the~e is  simple  - bend  over, 
pick  up  litter  and  discard  it  in  a  trash 
can.  Believe  me, 
if  every  student, 
faculty  and  staff member, alumnus, and 
guest  of MSU  picked  up  three  pieces of 
litter  per  day  we  would  not  have  a 
problem." 

In  a  written  statement,  President 
Clifton  R.  Wharton,  Jr.  appealed  to 
University  people  to join  with state and 
prevention 
community 
litter 
' 
campaigns, and to pitch - in. 

"The  campus  of  Michigan  State 
University  is  renowned  as  one  of  the 
nation's  most  beautiful.  Yet,  it  cannot 
live  up  to  this  deserved  reputation  or 
remain  a  pleasant  place  to  study,  to 
work  and  to live  if we  permit  ourselves 
to be innundated by litter," he  said. 

"I  urge  everyone  in  the  University 
community  to  support  the  work  of the 
the 
MSU  Waste  Control  Authority, 
'Keep Michigan  Beautiful' campaign  and 
the  efforts  of  the  City  of East  Lansing 
to  improve  our  physical  environment."

University standards are  unchanged 

Although  a  new  agreement  assures  future  community  college  graduates  an 
easier  time in  transferring to  the  state's four  - year colleges and universities, MSU 
still  retains  responsibility  for  determining  the  admissibility  of  any student i  or 
credits taken by that student. 

In a voluntary  agreement led by the Michigan Association of College Registrars 
and Admissions  Officers (MACRAO),  18  four  - year  institutions, including MSU, 
pledged to accept the general education requirements of 16 community colleges as 
equal to their standards. 

Provost  John  Cantlon  stressed this agreement  does  not change  MSU's  current 
practices  concerning  transfer  of  general  education  credits  taken  at  'other 
institutions. 

The  MACRAO  document requires nine  credits in  English  composition  and  12 
credits each of humanities,  social science and natural science.  "The transferability 
of  courses  proposed  to  meet  these  credit  blocks  will  be  determined  by  MSU 
according to current procedures," Cantlon said. 

If a  student  is  admissible  to  MSU,  and  the  appropriate  number  of credits in 
approved courses  have  been earned, then the student would be considered to have 
met MSU's general  education  requirements.  "The MACRAO  proposal is therefore 
consistent with existing MSU policy," he said. 

The  proposal  was  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  University  College,  the 
Admission  Office,  the  Educational  Policies  Committee,  the  Provost's  Office  and 
the President's Office. 

Ecosystems research  cooperation  needed 

Engineers,  biologists and  social  scientists must achieve a working relationship if 
solutions  are  to be  found  to the  problems of technological  planning and regional 
economic development. 

The  need  for  a  coordinated  assault  on  the  problems  involved  i~ control  by 
society  of the  short-term  and  long-term- .dynamicsof  the  physical  wor;ld,  as  an 
ecological  life-support  system,  are  underlined in an article in the Novel1l\ber issue 
of  "Wavelengths,"  a  publication  of, tl,1e  Institute  of  Electrical  and  Electronic 
Engineers, Inc. 

Author  of the article  is Herman E. Koenig, professor and chairman of electrical 
engineering  and  systems  science,  and  one  of  three  codirectors  of  the  MSU 
Ecosystem Disign and Management Program now in its third year on campus, with 
major funding by the National Science  Foundation . 

The  life  suppor!  sy stem, Koenig said,  js a set of interconnected transformations 
of  the  structural  S\ate  of  rna tena\s,  such  as  the  finite  petroleum  and  fossil  fuel 
supplies  that  exist,  their  spatial  transportation  and  their  physical  and  biological 
storage. 

The  ~conomic system is  a computing  mechanism  for  selecting  alternatives and 
allocating  resources  through  the  regulatory processes of taxes, subsidies and other 
pricing mechanisms. 

He  identified  the  social  problems at  issue  as  the  stresses  on  society  implicit  in 
the  excessive  concentration  of~ people,  specialization,  accumulated  control  of 
product.ion  capacity, job speciaflzation, and centralized decisiqn-making. 

association  is  important to the College of Education because it is concerned about 
bringing about an integration of research and continuing education with respect to 
these school districts." 

Dr.  Muth  says.he believes the affiliation between MSU  and the Michigan Middle 

Cities Education Association is the only one of its kind in  the couotry. 

Dr.  Muth,  52,  is  currently  deputy  school  superintendent in  Grand  Rapids. He 
joined the  school  system  in  1953  as assistant  superintendent for  business affairs. 
He begins his new duties at MSU after Jan.  1. 

Christmas concert to  be presented 

It wouldn't  be  Christmas at MSU without the traditional Christmas concert by 

the University Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Gomer Jones. 

For  the  past  23  Christmas  seasons,  Jones has  presented  a  major  choral  work 
appropriate for the season and he  has led the- audience and chorus in the singing of 
traditional carols. 

Sunday (Dec.  2)  at  4  p.m.  in  the  University  Auditorium, Jones will again lead 
the  nearly  400  - member  chorus  and  orchestra in  the  "Gloria in  Excelsis"  from 
Bach's  "B Minor  Mass."  This "work within a work" contains four choral and four 
solo  movements.  Each  solo  movement  features  an  instrumental as  well  as  vocal 
solo. 

The  MSU  undergraduate  and  graduate  music  students  who  will  be  heard  as 
soloists  include  soprano  Deborah Bussineau, m~zzo soprano Cora Enman, contralto 
Linda Griswold, tenor Carl Saloga and bass Edwin Challacombe. 

The  instrumental  soloists  will  be Michael Giacobassi, violin; Leslie  Frink, flute; 
Greg  Steinke,  oboe  d'amore, and Barbara Mette,  French horn. Harpsichord soloist 
will  be David  Renner, assistant professor of music. 

The  oboe  d'amore  which Steinke  will  play is  a very special instrument, since it 
was  used  extensively  for  only  75  years  during  the  18th  century.  It is  pitched 
between the normal oboe and the modern English horn. 

In  addition  to  the  "Gloria,"  the  Chorus  will  also  present  four  traditional 

French carols. 

Over  the  years,  Jones  has  left-his imprint  on the concerts. He  chats informally 
with  his  audience,  commenting  not  only  about  the  carols  but  about  how 
commercial Christmas has become. 

, 

"I  take  Christmas  as  a  Christian  feast  and I  endeavor  to  conduct  concerts  so 

that people will feel  that," he says. 

He  adds  that  the  season  should  not be  the  "merchants jamboree"  that it has 

become. But, he says, that is "just a reflection of our materialistic age." 

Past  concerts have  featured  works  composed by  Jones such as "The Divine 

Mystery," a Christmas Cantata and his arrangements of Welsh carols. 

A  native  of  Cardiff,  Wales,  he  holds  the  doctor  of  music  degree  from  th.e 

University of Wales.

Sunday's concert is open to the public without charge. 

"The social  stresses  are  poorly  understood  from  a -scientific  point of view, but 

they are increasingly evident in  the day-to-day events of modem life," he said. 

''It  is  the responsibility of the engineering and scientific community to identify 
the answer,  where  possible,  the  purely  scientific  system - theory ··questiQns raised. 
"Engineers and scientists also have  responsibility,  .in those situations intrinSically 
involving  collective  societal  judgments,  to  provide  a  sound  characterization  of 
those  alternatives or  options open  to  society,  so  that an  infonnedjudgmentmay 
be made in  terms of ecosystem management." 

Koenig  defined  ecosystem  as  the  whole  relationship  of man  with  his  natural 

environmen t. 

MSU and school distnOcts  combine efforts 
MSU  and  10 school districts will begin a unique cooperative effort next term to 

help solve the problems of "middle city" schools in Michigan. 

The  MSU  Board  of  Trustees  recently  approved  the  appointment  of Dr.  C. 
Robert  Muth  as  professor  and  assistant  to  the  dean  of  education  for  special 
programs.  At  the  same  time,  the  Michigan  Middle  Cities  Education  Association 
appointed  him  its  executive  director.  He  will  work half - time for MSU and half 
time at the University for the association. 

Under  the  cooperative  agreement,  the  middle  cities 'school  districts  will  be 
available  to  the  University  as  laboratories  for  research  and  development  of 
programs. 

According  to  Dr.  Muth,  he  formed  the  association  six  years  ago  to  gain  the 
Michigan  Legislature's  awareness  of  the  educational  problems  which  core  cities 
other  than 
Detroit  are  facing.  The  school  districts  in  these  cities  serve  a 
substantial percentage of the children of low - income families, particularly blacks, 
he says. 

Two  months ago  the  association  became  a  nonprofit corporation. Its members 
are  the  school  districts  of Ann  Arbor,  Battle  Creek,  Bay  City,  Benton Harbor, 
Grand Rapids, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Muskegon and Saginaw. 

Six  other districts  have  been  invited  to join:  Flint, Inkster, Muskegon Heights, 

Oak Park, Pontiac and Ypsilanti. 

"",'.:;  feel  there  is  an  increasing  need  for  more  cooperative  effort," Dr.  Muth 
says.  "We're  all  runni,ng  on  the  same  track  separately,  but together we  probably 
would garner one of the most effective research staffs." 

Dr.  Muth  foresees  the  association's  staff  working  in  such areas  as  developing 

accountability models for  each school district which are  required by the state. 

Dr.  T.  C11nton  Cobb,  assistant  to  the  dean  of education  at MSU,  says,  "The

administration,  but  was  not  approved 
by . tht Board  of Trustees.  These  figures

The  FAFCC  recommended  a  $350

the  minimum

merit  mcreases  be  used  by  the Provost 
to  fund  promotions  and  for  selective

the 
distribu tion  of 60 percent merit increase 
funds  to colleges  and departments. "We 
did not accept  this fonnula since we  saw 
as  many  problems  with it  as  with  the 
pro  rata  formula  we  have  used  in  the 
past;  e.g., 
it  did  not mike  adequate 
provision  for  the  use  of grant  funds  in 
the  salary  increase  operation," Cantlon 
said. 

"We  are  not opposed  to  seeking new 
approaches  in  the  distribution  of salary 
increase  funds,  he  added,"  and we hope 
we  can  continue  to  work  with  the 
FAFCC  in  the  development  of a  plan 
which  is  workable  and  mutually 
satisfactory." 

Williams  said  that jf the  administratieD 
overlooks  the  recommendations  again 
this year,  the  faculty  will  seek a change 
in  the  present governance structure." 

"The  committee's  efforts  are 
meaningless  if  they  are  ignored,"  he 
added. 

" A !though  the  F AFCC  serves  as 
advisory  to the administration," he said, 
"the  committee  is  responsible  in  the 
decision-making  process  as  charged  by 
the  Bylaws  for  Academic  Governance." 
Williams  .said  the  faculty  supported 
the  present academic governance system 
when  cellective  bargaining  was  voted 
down  in October. 

The  collective  bargaining election had 
some  impact  on  the  F AFCC. According 
to Williams, the committee bas met with 
representatives  of  the  American 
Association  of  University  Professors 
(AAUP) ,  tl1e  MSU  Faculty  Associates 
(MSUFA)  and 
the  Committee  af 
Concerned  Faculty  to  provide  input 

. 

into  the  FAFCC.  The  AAOP  and  tIle 
MSUF A  challenged  each  other  in  the 
election  to  become  the  facultis 
bargaining  agent.  The  Committee  of 
Concerned  Faculty  opposed  collective 
bargaining.  The  faculty  approved  "n6 
agent." 

''We welcome  these groups to express 
in  our 

interests 

their  concerns  and 
studies." 

Williams  said  that the groups and  the 
F AFCC  are  mutually  agreed  upon  such 
items  as  seeking  a  system  of base salary 
levels,  cost  of  living  adjustments, 
marketplace  pricing  and  merit rewards. 
In  addition  to  the  Big Ten  data,  the 
FAFCC 
faculty 
is  using  University 
salary  data  in  its  current  studies.  This 
data  shows  the  high,  low  and  median 
salaries  and  ranks  for  each  unit  and 
department  of  each  college.

Although  Williams  said  it 
is 
premature  to  suggest  what  the 
committee's  recommendations  win  be 
this  year ,  the  FAFCC 
is  working 
towards  closing  the  gaps  between  the 
high  and  low  base  salaries,  realizing  the 
changes  in  the  marketplace  and,  most 
importantly,  "establishing  a  defendable 
basic  compensation  system  program  for 
the campus community." 

the  committee 

Anothe r  area 

is 
investigating,  according  to  Williams,  is 
salary  and  rank.  At times  when  money 
was scarce, the administratian permitted 
departments  to  promote  professors  in 
rank without salary increases., 

<elf  a  professor  is  not  worthy  of  a 
salary  increase,  he  is  not  worthy  of an 
increase in rank,"  Williams  said.

Health  sciences must account for most 

Page S, Nov. 30, 1972 

Those who receive the most must also 

acount for  the most. 

While  accountability  is  becoming  an 
increasingly 
important  theme  at  all 
levels  of education,  the  emphasis  seems 
to  be  strongest  in  the  health  sciences, 
one  of the few areas of higher education 
to  receive  expansion  funding  in  recent 
years. 

The  message  came  through clearly  at 
the  recent  83rd  annual  meeting  of  the 
Association  of  American  Medical 
Colleges in  Miami. 

Speaker  after  speaker  -

including 
Sen.  Edward M.  Kennedy and Rep. Paul 
said  the 
Rogers  of Florirul  as  well  as  Clark  Kerr  and  medical  school  leaders  -
public  is insisting that its dollars be spent for  what it wants and  not necessarily for 
what educators want to keep on doing. 

They  left  little  doubt  that  federal  and  state  governments  will  be  developing 
more  "carrot"  - and  possibly  some  "stick" - programs to direct medical schools 
toward  increasingly  specific  kinds  of  goals  calculated  to  be  in  the  public's  best 
interests. 

Michigan  and  Michigan  State  University  were  mentioned  by  at  least  two 
speakers  and  in  numerous informal  discussions.  Most  comments  stemmed  from a 
recent  series  of four  articles  in  Science magazine  describing  the  influence  of the 
Michigan  Legislature  on  the  growth  of  the  College  of Human  Medicine  and  the 
College of Osteopathic Medicine. 

In  general,  the  comments  were  favorable.  Many  participants  noted  that  the 
events  described  in  the  Science  series  are  about  to  be  experienced by universities 
in  other states, thus putting MSU  in  a pioneer position. 

The  theme  of the  meeting "From Medical School to Academic Health Center," 
set  the  stage  for  the comments. The  theme,  said  Russell A.  Nelson, Johns Hopkins 
Hospital  President  and AAMC  chairman,  "recognizes  the  rapid  revolution  taking 
place  in  medica l  education's  relationship  to  the  education  of  other  health 
professionals,  to  the  delivery  of  healtfgare,  and , t-o  the  entire  American  health 
system." 
'J:  ~~ 
Nelson  noted  that federally  sponsor~  J,;csearoh has revolutlonLZed  the  control 

' "  

' .. 

of disease  over the past generation. 

.  .  . 

' 

"Now  we  are  in  a  new period,"  he added, "one' which  promises  to  be  jJlst  as 

revolutionary as  the last and out of which a:new health system will emerge." 

In  this  new  period,  according  to  Clark  Kerr,  chairman  of  the  Carnegie 
Commission  on  Higher  Education,  the  health  sciences  are  "the most important 
single  part of all  higher education in  the United States." 

"No  longer,"  he explained,  "is the  medical  school  a place  set  apart,  tied more 
to  its  profession  than  to  its university - with the president seldom needing to see 
the medical  dean  and delighted over that small indulgence." 

The  former  University  of California  president  included  the' follOWing  reasons 

for his thesis;

university  teachers,  academic  librarians 
and counselors. 

* A larger  proportion of the  national  income  is going for  education and health. 
*Health care is the only major area with a deficit in skilled personnel. 
*"The  health  sciences  draw  together  more  strands  of scientific  endeavor  than 

any other segment of higher education." 

*Health  science  services  can  reach most  - even  all  - of the people and can be 

higher education's best ambassador to the public. 

Kerr's  thoughts  about  the  status  of health  sciences  education  within  higher 

education seemed to be taken for granted by other speakers. 

Senator  Kennedy  called  for  continued federal  support of biomedical research 
and  "a continuing,  stable level  of fmancial  support"  for  academic  health  centers 
"so  that  they can  devote  their full  energies  to  training  physicians and developing 
needed reforms of medical education." 

Senator  Kennedy  also  said  that  a  severe  shortage  of  doctors  exists  and  is 
exacerbated by  overemphasis  on  specialty  training  in  medical  centers as  opposed 
to family practice training in community settings. 

He  predicted passage of a comprehensive national health insurance program and 

said it would be more  than a financing mechanism. 

"It  is  a  lever  with  which  to  reform  all  aspects  of  the  health  care  industry, 

including medical education. And it is a lever which will be used." 

Representative  Rogers,  Senator Kennedy's  rival  for  Congressional leadership in 
the area  of health sciences,  also  called attention to shortages of health manpower 
and the need for continuing change to meet societal demands. 

"Discoveries  that  scientists  make  in  their  laboratories,"  he  said,  "must  be 

converted more  quickly into treatment for  the suffering. 

" ... I  think the message  of the  new  education  is  that  the  Congress  is looking 
more  and  more  to  medical  schools  to  make  contributions  far  beyond  simply 
raising the numbers of M.D. graduates." 

Among  those  reacting  to  the  Science  series  about MSU was Philip R.  Lee, who 
was  formeriy  assistant -secretary  for  health in  President Johnson's administration. 
Lee later became chancellor of the University of California San Francisco Campus, 
but recently resigned to become a professor of social medicine there.  Lee  said: 

"Federal  programs  often  establish  policies  and  provide  incentives  that  the 

health professional school finds difficult or impossible to decline. 

"Seldom,  however,  has  the  Congress  or  the  executive  branch  of the  federal 
government  attempted  to  exercise  internal  control  over  the  institution  and  its 
operations. 

. ::c. 

"A  different  pattern  may  be ! emerging  at  the  state  level.  The  most  recent 
experiences  in  Michigan,  where'. the  Legislature  has  speCified  the  number  of 
student  contact  hours  required of the  university  faculty  and  appropriated funds  -' 
on a line - item basis, is a cause for  grave concern. 

"Several  issues  of autonomy,  independence  and governance  are raised by these 
kinds  of actions.  The  Legislature's  interest appears to be  in accountability for  the 
use  of  public  funds.  These  demands  will  increase,  and  if we  do  not  provide 
adequate  evidence  of  stewardship,  legislatures  will  develop  the  measures  to  be 
applied." 

. 

Similar  concern,  but  from  a  different  viewpoint  ~a~ expressed  by  Merlin K. 
DuVal,  present assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs and former dean 
of the medical school at the University of Arizona. 

DuVal  said  the  public  has  invested  large  sums  of money  in  medical  education 

and is now beginnjng to ask questions such as; 
*Why does it take so long to train a doctor? 
*How much do¢~ it cost exclusive of research costs? 
*Must  medical  SChools  build  such  big  research  empires in  order  to  train good 

. 

doctors? 

*Why do  we  train so many specialists? 
"What  we  ask from  within  government  is  that  you  display  your  leadership  -

not just superb administration," DuVal declared. 

"We  ask  for  reasonable consistency between  the goals you select for  yourselves, 

and those  that are  being selected by the society that pays. your bills. 

"And  if change  is  upon  us,  we  ask  that you  accommodate  - appropriately  -
but  without  sacrificing  the  institutional  integrity  and  stability  that  are  the 
hallmarks of a free  and productive society."

Families needed for Yule hosts 

Add a bit of joy to your Christmas ... and to somebody else's! 
University  area  families  who  would  like  to host  a student from  a foreign 
land  in their home  on Christmas Eve  and Christmas Day are being sought by 
the  Host  Family  Committee  of  MSU's  20th  annual  Adventure  in  World 
Understanding. 

More  than  60 students from  lands as  distant  and  as  different  as Malaysia, 
Kenya  and Thailand who  attend universities  all  across  America  will come  to 
Michigan  State  University  Dec.  22  to  participate in  the  100day "Adventure." 
The  future  leaders  of developing  nations  will  live  and  study  together in 
Kellog  Center.  They will  tour American  industry and institutions and discuss 
together how what they see  could be adapted to  their  nations. 

They  will  hear  American  profesSors  and  leaders  discuss  the volunteerism, 
citizen  participation  and  organizations  which  make  things  happen  in  -a 
democracy. 

University families who wish to share their Christmas and their homes with 
a visiting  youth can  help  him to  get  an  even better understanding of his host 
land, its ideals and its institutions. 

Farm and nonfarm rural families are  sought as well as city families. 
Nothing  special  in  the  way  of  entertainment  or  accommodations  is 
expected ... just the  willingness  to invite  a  youth from far away to join in the 
family observance. 

Contact  Mrs.  Arlyn  Donovan,  telephone  332~57; Mrs. Theodore  Ryan, 
telephone  485-2125,  or  Larry  Ewing,  Michigan  Farm  Bureau,  telephone

Computer use 
wears  stairs 

The  marbled  stairs  at  the  MSU 
Computer  Center  are  wearing  out  at  a 
faster  rate  than the centuries-old steps of 
Rome and other cities of antiquity. 

Besides  the  concave  lines  showing 
up  in  the  stairs,  the  steel  edgings  are 
worn  in  places  to  a  width  of about  a 
half  - inch  from  the  wear  and  tear of 
student feet. 

Almost  10  per  cent  of  the  total 
41,000  students  enrolled  on  campus 
this  fall  are  in  courses  requiring  some 
use  of the computer. 

A  headcount  conducted  by  Donald 
F.  Spyke,  business  manager  of  the 
center, showed that professors reported 
a  total  of  3,956  students  attending 
computer-use classes in 52 courses. 

The  count  can  be  eJ><tended  in  up -
trips and down - trips about three tinies 
a week per  student,  to  about  a quarter 
million  traverses  of  the  stairways  for 
class purposes only in the fall. 

The  figures  exclude  the  faculty  and 
students  who  are  engaged  in  such 
research  proje'?ts  as  are  aided  by 
computer  use,  or  any  visitors,  or 
custodial  personnel,  or  anybody  who 
forgot  something and had to go back in 
and then out again. 

Besides 

training 
- use, 

in 
receiving 
the 
fundamental  computer 
involve 
students'  class  curricula 
reaction  engineering, 
chemical 
geotechnical  engineering,  numerical 
solving  of  mathematical 
analysis, 
problems  in  civil  engineering,  highway 
planning,  hydraulics,  and  geometry 
problems in elementary surveying. 

More  classes  involve  other  kinds  of 
engineering  courses,  which 
is 
appropriate  since  the  computer center 
is  administered  by  the  College  of 
Engineering. 

Other  class  uses  of  the  computer 
involve  macroeconomics,  accounting 
and  financing,  analysis  of  reasearch 
data  in  human  ecology  and  in  social 
science, a  political  science examination 
of  voter  distribution  and  party 
ideology,  packaging  problems,  separate 
problems  in  geography  and  physics, 
and  organization  of class  programm:ing 
assignments. 

The  headcount,  of  course, 

isn't 
accurate  because,  as 
the  computer 
professors keep  saying,  MSU  has  a lot 
of  computer  buffs  who  spend  their 
noncIass  time  there  just  because  they 
like  computers. 

Projects 

focused 

"Outposts  of  Assistance,"  a  new 
motion  picture  that  describes 
the 
activities  of  three  MSU  overseas 
projects,  is  now  available  for  loan  to 
campus groups. 

The  29-minute,  color  film  focuses on 
international  projects  in  Turkey, 
Indonesia  (Java)  and  Korea.  It  was 
produced,  written and narrated by Craig 
Halverson,  public  affairs  director  for 
WKAR-TV.  It  was  filmed  by 
cinematographer  Jerry  Carr.  Both  men 
visited  the  MSU  projects  with  support 
from  the  Ford  Foundation,  and  the 
Talbert  and  Leota Abrams  Foundation. 
Persons  interested  in  borrowing  the 
film  can contact Miller Perry, Center for 
International Programs, 355-2351. 

Geraldine Laetz (left) and Joy Adcock:  University's interior designers. 

Decorative  touches  added':by twosome 

After visiting the University Club, the 
Gold  Room  in  the Union, or a lounge in 
one  of the  residence  halls,  did  you  ever 
wonder  who  is  responsible  for 
the 
interior design? 

There  are  two  interior  designers  on 
campus who handle a variety of requests 
from  decorating  a  new  building  to 
helping redesign  a milk cooler in a dorm 
cafeteria. 

Joy  Adcock,  head  interior  designer, 
and  Geraldine  Laetz,  assistant  interior 
designer,  believe  that  a  different 
approach  must  be 
take'n  with 
institutional  design  than with residential 
design. 

Resources  for  non  -

residential 
furniture,  called  "contract,"  are 
different  from  those  used  in  the  home. 
Manufacturers  of  contract  furnishings 
offer  a  sturdier,  heavier  construction 
with emphasis  on  designs  that are  more 
compatible  with  institutional  and 
business settings. 

Mrs.  Adcock  explained  that  the 
interior  design  department  works 
closely  with  other  residence  hall 
operations  such  as  the  upholstery  and 
drapery  shops,  who  do  all  of  the 
reupholstery  and  drapery fabrication on 
campus. 

With  the  rash  of dormitory  building 
15  years  ago,  the  residence  halls 
organized an  interior  design  department 
to  specify  furnishings  for 
the  new 
bUildings.  Since  then  the  design 
department  has  grown  to  extend  its 
services  to  include  all  University 
buildings, Mrs. Adcock said. 

"We  work  on  all  new  buildings  and 
renovate  older  buildings  -
sometimes 
working with the University architect or 
the  engineering  and  physical  plant 
departments," she continued. 

"It  is  an  overwhelming  challenge  to 
work  on  the  University's  20 
dormitories,  redesigning  main  dining 
rooms,  smaller  special  dining  rooms, 
managers'  and  administrative  personnel 
offices,  recreation  rooms  and  snack 
shops.  Working  with  the  architects  an~ 
the  House  Committee  on 
the  new 
University  Club  was  one  of  our  most 
interesting  assignments,"  Mrs.  Adcock 
said. 

Mrs.  Laetz  explained 

that  they 

worked  on  the  new  Life  Sciences 
building  from  beginning  to  end.  They 
have  also  worked on many rooms in the 
Union  including  the  renovation  of  the 
grill  and  the  cafeteria.  Mrs.  Laetz  also 
mentioned  that  the  personnel  offices, 
Natural  Resources Building,  new library 
additions,  Eustace  Hall,  and  all  of  the 
new  medical  offices  in  Fee  Hall,  are 
some  of  the  other  areas  that have  been 
designed by the department. 

"Because  we  are 

institutional  as 
opposed  to  residential,  our  guidelines 
are  set  differently,"  she  said.  We  must 
choose  fabric  and  furnishings  that meet 
the  fire  codes,  also  keeping  in  mind 
selections  that  will  offer  maximum 
wearability and easy maintenance. 

"We  work  : closely  with 
representatives  from  all  outside 
companies,  keeping  up  on all  the  latest 
designs;  our  catalogues  and samples  are 
constantly changing." 

Once  a  design  has  been  specified  and 
approved,  it  is  sent  to  purchasing  and 

the  purchasing  department  sends  it out 
for bid, Mrs.  Laetz said. 

The  deSigners  further  explained  that 
because  of  vandalism  and  destruction, 
they  must  look  at  deSigning  from  a 
different view.  A question  to be kept in 
is:  "How  easily  can  it  be 
mind 
destroyed?"  Ceiling  lights  replace  table 
lamps.  Less  art  work  is  used.  Heavy, 
hard - to -"lift furniture  replaces  lighter 
models. 

Mrs.  Adcock  concluded  with,  "It's 
good  that  people  know  where  to  go for 
coordination.  The  interior  design  office 
handles  requests  from  major  to  minor 
things." 

So  if you're  wondering  what color to 
paint  your  loading  dock  to  match  the 
table  cloth  will 
building, . or  what 
accentuate  your  cafeteria,  or  what 
carpeting would look best  and also help 
sound  - proof  a  conference  room,  the 
people  to  see  are  located in  250 Akers 
Hall.

CORNELCARD.  Carnell  students  may  now  participate  in  a  charge  card 
program,  similar  to national  bank credit cards, for  the purchase of books, athletic 
tickets,  meals  and  other  items.  The cards,  caned "Cornellcard,"  may  be  used at 
participating sales units on the Cornell campus.

CHALLENGE  TO  RESTORE  TRUST: Indiana  University  has  accepted  the 
challenge  of an  alumnus,  Nelson  P.  Poynter,  chairman  of the  board of The St. 
Petersburg (Fla.)  Times  and  the  president of the Congressional Quarterly, to help 
restore  the  nation's  trust  in  its  institutions,  public  and  private.  Through  the 
Poynter  Fund,  the  publisher  has awarded $500,000 to I.U. over a lIVe-year period 
for  a  pilot project  aimed  at bridging the credibility gap between the citizenry and 
the institutions  of American democracy. If successful, it is hoped the process  can 
be applied on other campuses and eventually reach down to the ~ade school leveL
