MSU News -Bulletin Vol. 4, No. 13 Michigan State University JANUARY 11, 1973 Peters'students wear blue collars last year, The Task Force on Lifelong Education, which is expected to submit its final report to President Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. later this term, has, during the focused considerable campus interest on the subject. In the coming weeks, the News - Bulletin will profile four faculty and staff members for whom lifelong education is not a new priority, but rather a continuing commitment. "I think the major reward of my job is the immediate satisfaction I get in dealing with people who are already involved in community, family and job roles," says Ron Peters. Unlike most teachers who stand before a class imparting information and insight, Peters seldom has to wait for several years to receive the feedback that tells him whether or not his efforts are bearing fruit. "The subject matter we deal with often has immediate application," Peters says. "Our students frequently pick up information in one class session, put it into practice during the following week, and report on the application at the next class." Peters is one of six circuit riders on the staff of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations' Labor Program Setvice. DUtin~ the yeat, while in other departments are colleagues teaching conventional classes on campus, Peters travels throughou t the state conducting classes labor unionists. for The courses, all of which are co - sponsored by the Labor Program Service and participating labor unions, are designed to make the unionists more effective participants in labor organizations and in other community organizations as well. their The courses offered are divided into intermediate and advanced basic, first group includes groupings. The background courses shop such as steward training, effective speaking and contract administration. Intermediate courses explore broader areas related to unionism such as labor law, unions and political action, and psychology for workers. The advanced courses offer a more comprehensive look at such areas as problems of urban society and the economics of income, employment and collective bargaining. A long - term Program in Labor Studies is operated in nine communities in cooperation with labor organizations. Completion of six courses entitles the student to a Certificate of Achievement in Labor Studies. local "Our classes are small and informal," says Peters. "We require at least 15 students to justify offering a course, and prefer to have not more than 30." Most of the classes are offered in the state's southern industrial corridor, exclusive of Detroit where Wayne State University and · the University of Michigan operate similar programs. Last year the Labor Program Service 1,661 courses co n d u cted 63 students In addition, 39 conferences and special projects were undertaken. in 20 communities. for "We offer courses both in union halls and at local community colleges," says Peters, "and each location has certain advantages. Conducting classes in the union hall provides a known environment where workers feel comfortable, and conducting them in the community colleges acquaints workers, often for the first time, with the local college." Few of the courses require extensive outside reading, but one continuing priority of the Labor Program Service is encouraging blue collar workers to widen their reading habits by selling books in class. "Most union members are not avid readers," Peters says. "They tend not to frequent book stores. We've found that recommending a certain book is not enough to encourage the union member to go out and buy it. But when we show up in class with a box of books, they sell like hot cakes." "Our principal objective is to give some order to the experiences the unionist has gotten on the job and in life." Peters finds his teaching assignment more challenging in some ways than instructing courses on campus. "The rewards to the student are intrinsic," 'he expfains. largely doesn't come away with a grade or a degree or some direct financial gain, so the the' course teacher must make satisfying to him in other ways." '"He ' "Our principal objective is to give the some order to unionist has gotten on the job and in the experiences -Photo by Dick Wesley Ron Peters (left) confers with Tom Chulak, an AFSCME representative. life. When we deal with some theoretical concept we seldom have to search for examples to illustrate it - the student has already lived them." The Labor Program Service staff is augmented by an ad hoc teaching staff composed of experienced unionists as well as instructors drawn from other MSU departments. "It's not easy to recruit instructors from the campus," Peters says, "because few faculty are able to shift the required ge';HstTOIrrleacrutig a 'captive campus audience to relating to a group of blue collar workers." that Peters points out teaching courses to unionists requires of the instructor a certain understanding of the goals of the union movement. His (Continued on page 2) Ruling awaited in C-T election The question of which organization the MSU Employees Association (MSUEA) or the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) - will represent the University's clerical-technical workers remains open, at least until the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) determines whether the University can drop its challenges to 95 of the ballots. Last week, Keith G roty, assistant for personnel and Vice-president employee relations, notified both parties and MERC that the University would drop its challenges to the votes to to certify a .winner allow MERC without a lengthy formal hearing. Groty said he believed there was enough case history in support of the University's move establish precedent, but it now appears the action may be construed as a "case of first impression." to the University Hyman Parker, director of MERC, said a decision on whether or not to allow its challenges will not be made until he received written opinions the contending unions. Spokesmen for both unions said remove from to opinions are being drafted. In the election held November 13 and 14, AFSCME polled 634 votes to for MSUEA. The University 617 that challenged 179 ballots, most on the basis the employee was a "supervisor" and thus ineligible to vote. At a subsequent informal hearing, the University dropped its challenge to the ballots after 84 of further investigation of status of the the these votes were employees. When counted, MSUEA had a total of 671 to 663 for AFSCME. Thus, if MERC does not allow the University to drop its challenges to the remaining 95 votes, and the challenges are upheld through a formal hearing, MSUEA would presumably be declared the winner. that However, the AFSCME unit co ntends the University has "hopelessly clouded" the election and, at a formal hearing before MERC scheduled for Jan. 22-23, will argue either for a new election or the removal of all 179 originally contested ballots. Haro Id Schmidt, president of AFSCME Council 7, said the election "has been a mess from day one," because of confusion about eligible voters and what he said were administration and MSUEA efforts to "ramrod" an early election. Schmidt also charged that Groty "sprinkled" enough supervisory votes in the 84 from which he initially removed University challenges the election to the MSUEA. to swing He said he agreed with the dropping of 31 of the 84 challenges, but that the remaining 53 "were clearly supervisory employees." Schmidt said AFSCME had obtained from 18 of depositions those 53 employees they were indicating supervisory personnel, and charged that Groty found out about this and decided to drop the remaining 95 challenges in order to "inundate" the election with supervisory votes. Groty said he would not comment on Schmidt's charges since the validity of the charges would be determined by MERC. The AFSCME unit could have it initial protected concurred in the challenge of an 179 (Continued on page 4) lead had its Agenda set for Board The MSU Board of Trustees will hold its public monthly meeting Friday at 10 a.m. in ' the Board Room of the Administrative Building.

BY PHILLIP MILLER Some people believe that the male gamete determines the sex of a baby. Some others believe that the egg has more influence upon what the baby will be, than does the sperm. Aristotle thought both egg and sperm were important to the development and growth of the embryo. Determination of what the baby will become "does not lie in the semen coming from all the parent or not," said Aristotle, "but in the mutual proportion or disproportion of that which comes from the woman and the man." In saying this, Aristotle was knocking a theory which 2,000 years later Darwin would defend as "pangenesis." It turned out that Aristotle was right. Aristotle also would have crushed the idea of "preformation" - the notion that a little person resided in the sperm or egg - but the idea ,,:as not yet in vogue. Alain F. Corcos of MSU's Department of Natural Science recently ,clarified a few preformation episodes from the history of biology in an article in the publication "The American Biology Teacher". , Corcos struck down exaggerated claims in some modern - day textbooks that microscopists of the preformists ":/-. ,,-i heydays reported spotting little men in sperm cells. "To enrich their discussion of preformation, American writers use as evidence the writings of two 17th century scientists, Nicolas Hartsoeker and 'Dalenpatius' (apseudonym) who reported having seen a little man, or 'homunculu,' said Corcos. inside a sperm," "We are apparently to conclude that these two researchers were victims of their imaginations or of primitive microscopes." . Although Hartsoeker - one of the pioneers of microscope research of gametes - claimed the sperm "of birds contains a male or female bird", he never claimed to have actually seen a little person in a human sperm cell, said Corcos. But the myth of a "little man" has through various biology spread textbooks, said Corcos. Even the early microscopists misunderstood: "Many preformationists attempted to find under the microscope the shape of an animal (br little man) in each sperm - but in vain," said Corcos. But the sperm researchers were to receive an unusual encouragement when, in 1699, "Dalenpatius" published an article' scattered with' - accurate microscopic obServations' alolig with a purposefully fraudulant drawing. Perhaps to the delight of today's feminists, this was surely an episode of sperm research which will come back to haunt male chauvinists. For, although Dalenpatius's drawing was a hoax, some of the gamete researchers took 'his joke seriously. As it turns out, Dalenpatius was really Francois de la Plantade, member and the Royal Academy of Montpellier, said Corcos. later secretary of His devious drawing was of a sperm shaped much like an upr!ght Buddah c-T coverage criticized To the editor: When Gene Rietfors was removed from his position as editor of the MSU News-Bulletin, there was some concern expressed as to whether this personnel shift indicated a change to come in the editorial policies of the newspaper.

The publication of Dalenpatius was translated from Latin by William M.

But we, to whom this reason has always been more important, leave thought that we should have nothing untried, so that, if some way were open to her, we would carefully investigate the approach and strive by all means to reach her inner recesses. n Corcos's article includes a related draWing. He concludes his article with the hope that it "raised enough doubts in the minds of biology teachers and textbook writers so that the drawings of Hartsoeker and Dal~npatius will no longer be presented as evidence in support of the 18th century belief in preformation.

Provost John Cantlon told the steering committee Monday that such a review would include a dollar amount with regards to faculty and student time being expended on committee meetings from departmental levels to all-University governance groups, such as the Academic Council. James T. Bonnen, professor of agriculture economics and chairman of the steering committee, said cost alone was not the reason for such a review. "There are concerns among faculty and students not only about the cost, particularly in time, but of making the governance process the most effective vehicle possible in academic decision-making," he said. student participation faculty and for The Council, which is composed of more than 100 faculty and students, meets at least monthly, and, depending on agenda business, bi-monthly or even weekly. The present structure of the Council, with its various committee systems, has been growing since the Council was formed in the mid-fifties. Bonnen added that his group will be discussing ways of reviewing the system within the next couple of months. In other Steering Committee action, the agenda was set for Tuesday's (Jan. 16) meeting of the Adademic Council. The group meets at 3: 15 p.m. in the Con Con Room of the International Center. The three items for business are a curriculum committee report, a report from the educational policies committee on undergraduate interdisciplinary courses, and a governance committee report on minor bylaw changes for the inclusion of librarians in the academic governance process.

Around the camp-us: A summarl Page 3, Jan. 11,1973 Council on career education named In a move to assure that students have salable skills when they leave school, a Council on Career Education has been appointed by the College of Education. Dean Keith Goldhammer, dean of MSU's College of Education, called it "a big step forward in career education" in announcing its formation. Goldhammer has charged the council and two staff members with devising a comprehensive program for the preparation of career education personnel. This will include a program to train teachers to conduct career education; instructional strategy, curricular designs and material on career education and service to public schools and other educational agencies. Goldhammer said he believes there is no reason why a child should not have a career goal before he gets to high school. "We can give them a fairly realistic picture of areas in which they can be successful," he said. "It is a project that helps every youngster discover how he can be a fulfilled, participating member of society." The dean said schools have failed to recognize that a person's occupation is the major role he plays in society, and that failure to have a career or occupation has been the cause of much of the alienation of youth. In addition to the council, Goldhammer said an advisory committee of persons from outside the University will be appointed as community representatives. Raymond N. Hatch, professor of education, will chair the council. Other faculty members on the council are Lawrence Borosage, Stanley P. Wronski, Louis Romano, Glen O. Cooper, Vernal D. Seefeldt, Howard W. Hickey and Russell J. Kleis, all professors in the College of Education. . In addition, the State Department of Education will be represented by Arnold l.oomis, who heads its career development program. Peggy L. Miller and Casmer F. Heilman, both associate professors of education, will work half - time for the council"to design the career education program. The council will serve as a policy and revie~ board. 20 years of·teaching English ·' "Every patient, resourceful teaCh~r fmds miracles only in his stijdents, never in himself," a professor of English concludes after 20 years of teaching University freshman. Edward Edelman, professor at The Brooklyn Center of Long Island University, New York, has a "Mr. Chips" pedagogical memoir in the current "University College Quarterly," in which he examines his professorial "losses and gains." He identifies what n-eshrnan English is and isn't, in the classroom and during office hours, and considers "grammar and niceties." For the student, he says, the course is attuned to personal internal growth. He notes that Freshman English is not a beginning of the student either as a the student has been writing for an exceedingly large person or as a writer, since part of his life, and "a major renovation would require another lifetime." "One day, probably," he e~visions, "all those from whatever background who wish to become wholly eduCated will write fluently., well .before the fresluruln year. In the meantime, we must cope." "Instructors must operateo·on the presumption; howeye~ vaguely, that once admissions declare a student college material, also the wilLOf-the student and that of society concur," he says'. ;, i He shies away from clever:and ambitious tests, and has aJongtime favorite in which the short excerpts are "lessons in ideas expressed" and words are exposed as instruments of choice and will. . Given the choice, Professor Edelman would free Freshmen English students from the course once they achieved a C grade, "as if it were a great watershed." "But that cannot be, not overtly," he writes, "since not society, not all colleagues are yet agreed that we should be released from the notions of performing miracles. So my office hours are the sanctuary of the possible. "Meanwhile, I must take a certain risk of failing, must indeed be wasteful of and sloppy with my time, on the not imaginary principle that some students thaw unevenly, or require more patience than I had timidly set as my all." Grammar and "like niceties," he regards as simultaneously the easiest and most difficult to achieve because they are by nature "superficial, mechanical, and boring." Votapek to play in Chicago symphony Ralph Votapek, concert pianist and MSU music faculty member, an active performing schedule can be combined with a demonstrates how teaching career. This weekend, Votapek will perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as part of its regular subscription series. Under the baton of guest conductor Erich Leinsdorf, former conductor of the Boston Symphony, he will perform Ravel's "Piano Concerto" and Schoenberg's "Ode to Napolean." While in Chicago, Votapek will also be heard in a recital at Northwestern University where he received the B.A degree in 1960. Since his student days at Northwestern, Votapek has appeared some 12 times with the Chicago Symphony in Saturday evening special concerts and at the orchestra's summer Ravinia Festival. His first two appearances resulted from winning piano competitions while a student. "Each time I have gotten to know the orchestra better," he said. The Chicago Symphony is his favorite orchestra, says Votapek who has performed with many of the nation's top orchestras. The Chicago Symphony is regarded as one of the world's great orchestras. With the young Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim on the podium, the Chicago Symphony will make its annual concert appearance at MSU at 8: 15 p.m. Monday, Jan. 22, as part of the International Orchestra Series. The orchestra has performed at MSU annually since 1967. Votapek's career was launched in 1962 when he won the first Van Cliburn Piano Competition. He also holds a master of music degree from Juilliard. He joined the MSU faculty in 1968. Printing exhibit at library Examples of the art of fine printing are on display at the Library this month in honor of National Printer's Week, Jan. 10 through Jan. 17. The exhibit features works from the 15th century up to the present and includes modern reproductions of ancient printing styles. Most of the works are the products of private, hand-operated presses and each has its own style of printing. Nicolaus Jensen's Scriptoris rei rusticae, which was printed in Venice in 1472, is the oldest work on display. Jensen's work served as the basis for all modern type according to Mrs. Caroline Blunt, a member of the Committee for l.ibrary Displays. Works from Ben Franklin's celebrated printing press can also be seen. Books on display are from the library's special collections department. The library is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 10:50 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. until 10:50 p.m; and Sunday from 1 p.m. until 10:50 p.m. MSU, LCC offer child development More than 40 people involved in local child care programs met Tuesda)' to begin the second term in a three - term sequence of child development courses offered jointly by MSU, Lansing Community College and the Lansing School District. Instructors for the unique class are Miss Betty Garlick, director of Head Start training at MSU, and Mrs. Jess Pinch, of LCC. "It isn't an easy class to teach," Miss Garlick observed. "But it's an exciting and very rewarding thing to be involved in. The wide range of ages and experience and educational background that makes things like grading papers so difficult is one of tl}e real strengths of the class. If we could fmd the same blending in other , classes here at experience." the University, we could provide students with a richer The class originated, Miss Garlick explained, out of the need for some sort of in - service training for Head Start staff. Planning sessions that began in May of 1972 and continued through July involved Dr. William Heater, chairman of the Department of Social Science at LCC; Dr. Margaret Bubolz, chairman of the Department of Family and Child Sciences at MSU; Read Stalt DiIectoI ChaI\es Haskell and representatives from the Lansing School District, MSU Continuing Education Service and the State Department of Mental Health. Head Start teachers indicated the subjects they felt the course work should include, and MSU and LCC classes were chosen accordingly. Though intended to train teachers in the Head Start program, the class also includes day care center personnel, a kindergarten teacher and a fIrst grade teacher. To be eligible to take the course, an MSU student must be a Head Start teacher. "~ New" natural resources major Undergraduate students can now choose to major in "Natural Resources and Environmental Education," a new option introduced this year by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The new major, approved by the MSU Academic Council in October, is administered by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in cooperation with the College of Education. The Agriculture and Natural Resources Education Institute, under the direction of Carroll H. Wamhoff, will serve as the coordinating unit. Faculty coordinator for the program is David I. Johnson of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. "One of the best things about the program is that it's very student centered," says Johnson. "For one thing, the new program is interdepartmental. A student can enroll in anyone of four departments - forestry, fisheries and wildlife, resource development or park and recreation resources - and still have the major. There is also more flexibility in required courses." Johnson explains that majors in natural resources and environmental education must take six core courses totaling 19 credit hours dealing primarily with resource ecology and environmental education. A minimum of 15 credits is also required in at least three o( the following areas: fisheries and wildlife, forestry and natural resources, horticulture and crop and soil sciences, park and recreation resources, and resource development and puhlic affairs mmagerrent. A minim.Jm of 12 credits is required from at least two of the following areas: natural science, social science, and interdisciplinary and other courses. A number of elective credits from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources are also required. One of the features of the new major is that it offers teacher certifIcation. "Majors can receive teacher certifIcation by completing 30 credits in teacher education courses," says Johnson. "Nonteaching majors, on the other hand, take courses in learning theory, human behavior and communications, in addition to the regular required courses." "Even though the program hasn't received much publicity as yet, we've already enrolled more than 30 students," says Johnson. "If the present rate of enrollment continues, we'll have about 100 majors before the year is out." An important benefit to graduates of the new program is a relatively high prospect for employment. Johnson foresees an ever - increasing need for qualified natural resources graduates in teaching, interpretive centers, federal and state agencies, municipal and regional planning agencies, and industry.

Today, it exists to provide an artistic outlet for Detroit area residents. The students, 54 each term, fill the studio areas, turn potters wheels, test glazes, and create pottery pieces for themselves and for the exhibit and sale areas of the pottery. The students are far from "normal." Roger AuIt, the director, talks about the challenge of operating .the Pottery. They do not fit into one age group, one economic class or have the same degree of proficiency in ceramics. In the two evening classes, which are approximately 25 per cent male, you will find an advertiSing executive, a house painter, a retired policeman, a retired hardward store owner, a stock broker, a salesman, a modelmaker, an educational executive and a psychiatrist. Roger Ault, an industrial designer with formal in ceramics at Cranbrook Institute, i~ the director of the pottery. training He joined the MSU staff in 1967, a year after the University accepted the responsibility for operating the pottery. The pottery was a gift to MSU from industrialist Henry L. Caulkins in memory of its founders Mrs. Stratton and his father, Horace J. Caulkins. Ault was joined the same year by an assistant, Jim Powell, who also serves as an instructor. Primo Valloni, a Pottery employee the clay for Operated by Education Service, for nine years, mixes students. , ( A dream becomes reality the Continuing is the pottery The 70 - year - old dream of an Upper Peninsula artist continues to grow thanks to the generosity of a Detroit industrialist and the efforts of MSU's continuing Education Service. Pewabic Pottery came into existence at the turn of the century when a young artist, Mary Chase Perry, moved from the Upper Peninsula to Detroit. She brought with her dreams of working with clay and creating ceramics. Her first studio was a carriage house in Detroit. Later she commissioned an architect to design a pottery for her at 10125 East Jefferson. The architect, William B. Stratton, later became her husband. So came into existence in 1908 the Queen Anne style building - part studio, part laboratory, part factory. It was named the Pewabic Pottery after a river in the Upper Peninsula's Copper Country. Mrs. Stratton soon began making a name for herself and the pottery. The , discovery that made her famous was an identical to that on iridescent glaze f ragmen ts of pottery excavated in Persia. Nothing like it had been made since the 14th Century in Spain. I t was this t;pe of glazing and the tiles commissions for the glazed produced in the pottery's factory that brought attention to the Detroit pottery. Some of Mrs. Stratton's projects include the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on which she worked from 1923 to 1931, and Detroit area buildings such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Public Library, the Guardian Building and the Stroh Brewery. Mrs. Stratton died in 1961 at the age of 94. The pottery was given to Henry L. Caulkins, son of the other co - founder, Horace J. Caulkins. In 1967 Caulkins gave to property to MSU's Continuing Educ;ation Service to revive as a crafts center. / important, according to AuIt, as a vehicle "to continue and expand one's knowledge as an adult." Presently, the pottery is offering avocational, retireree and professional level ceramic education; a permanent museum and contemporary exhibit gallery; and adult tours. Ault said it is hoped to expand the educational program increase facilities for 150 potters. "The interest indicates that expansion is necessary," he said. to Although nine new spaces were added fall term, three of these new openings and all the other openings were taken by past students who have a one - time privilege of getting back in, resulting in only six openings available to 37 applicants, Ault added. Other additions planned when finances permit include expansion of the tour program to include younger groups; a ceramic library for student use and storage of historic records; an advanced studio program for the best qualified students in the Midwest; and a training center for ceramic designers. Ault said that because of the special need in our times for lifelong education, the pottery is being maintained as both an educational and historic facility. "This is extremely important when you consider the scarcity of art facilities set aside for the segment of society we serve," he said, "particularly as you consider the increasing popularity of early retirement, the four - day work week, and ultimately a 30 - hour or less work week." In addition to offering a highly - professional adult ceramic educational program, the pottery provides appropriate college credit extension courses. The pottery, as a museum alone, has strong appeal. Entrance into the museum and with facilities on the first floor. the pottery begins showroom These rooms are followed by the laboratory area where glazes and their recipes are mixed and stored. The three - story kiln room is off the laboratory. It's here that students fire their ceramics at 2,400 degrees. A very noisy, machine - filled room forms the back of the building. This is the clay room. The clay is produced in machines more than a half century old. It is J;llixed in the blunger (a six - foot vat - with paddle), then pressed into large pancakes in the filter press to remove excess water. The filter cakes are fed into the pug mill (like a meat grinder) which removes air. The clay is now ready for use. For nine years Primo Valloni has kept the clay machines in working order. The basement of the building provides the workshop and studio areas for the pottery classes. The Michigan State Council for the Arts has been housed on the second floor of the pottery since 1968. The council, an agency of state government and associated with the National RlUndation for the Arts at the federal level, is responsible for initiating and supporting community art programs in Michigan. the There's a large room directly above the clay room, which presently is a catch - all for storage, including boxes of tiles remaining from the production days of the factory. Ault has visions for this room as an adult studio when funds are available. The side courtyard serves as a useful area during the summer. Here potters fire their pots for 15 minutes in outdoor kilns using the 16th century Japanese technique of Raku. The pots are then dipped into either sawdust or a tub of in glazes of an water. This results iridescent nature. The exhibit area of the Pottery offers the public a chance to view and purchase clay items. Page S, Jan. 11, 1973 £iiProfiles A 'secretary' retires :J:. .. '!'c ~ Although he lacks shorthand, Madison Kuhn has held one of the most prestigious secretarial positions on campus for the last five years_ Kuhn, graduate chainnan of the College of Arts and Letters and professor of history, retires this month as Secretary of the Faculties. "I've done my turn and it has been enjoyable. It's time for somebody else to take over," he said. Kuhn took the position in 1967 upon the urging of fonner President John A. Hannah. "President Hannah wanted somebody from the faculty to record minutes of the Administrative Group, the Academic Council and the Senate, and asked if I would take the responsibility," Kuhn said. Kuhn said that during his first year in the post he took voluminous notes and recorded just about everything that was said these academic governance in meetings. "The sessions were closed to the public then and it was iniportant to keep an accurate record of everything that transpired," he said. "Now that the meetings are open and the press covers them and all sessions are recorded on tape, the task is easier. Kuhn is assisted in his task by Bernice McQueary, administrative secretary to the Secretary of the Faculties and the University Archives' and Historical Collections. Mrs_ McQueary is responsible for the preparation and distribution of the minutes as dictated by Kuhn. "She has been a great asset to the position," he said. Kuhn, who has been a member of the MSU faculty for 35 years and is the University historian., said that he has seen major changes in academic governance during his term as Secretary of the Faculties. "My first year in the position the Academic Council was involved in revising the Bylaws for Academic Governance to reduce the power of the deans," he said. "Great debates took place and some members of the council wanted to remove the deans altogether. This the Elected Faculty is when Council was formed_" Kuhn said that there is no longer a disagreement between faculty and deans. "These groups have found they have much in corrunon and there has been a change of attitude. And with the the deans see change themselves as faculty. This harmony is a very fine thing." in personnel, Another change that Kuhn has witnessed is the inclusion of studen ts in academic governance. "This is a fine development and students have offered a great deal to the Academic Council as well as the standing corrunittees and departmental committees," he said_ "An added benefit is that the students are discovering some of the University's administrative problems which had not occurred to them before." Kuhn also noted another growth of the academic governance system includes the addition of such standing committees as the University Corrunittee on Building, Lands, and Planning and the University Committee on Business Affairs. "Now faculty and students have a voice in decisions in these areas of University operations which they could not register before. This is important to both groups." ..,. MADISON KUHN Kuhn, a South Dakota native, received his B.A_ from Park College in Missouri and his M.A. and Ph. D from the University of Chicago. During his 35 years at MSU, he has served on various departmental committees, the Athletic Council and the Centennial Committee. Kuhn, who wrote the history of MSU - "The First Hundred Years", for the centennial, is currently working on his second book about the 1932 Roosevelt and Hoover presidential election. ·His profession and hobbies are travels and visits combined as he libraries and talks to people along the way. "Being a historian, I travel to understand the human, economic and social sides of life," he said. His goals? Finish his book, write 011 other subjects and continue doing what he likes best - teaching. -BY SANDRA DALKA Kruger, Spaniolo named research in work organizations.

But the unit did not concur. Schmidt, who has been working in Michigan only since last May, admitted that he was operating under the assumption that when one party challenges, all parties are considered to have challenged. He said this was the rule in other states. "Besides," he said, "\ had no more the status of these information on employees than anyone else and it would have been unconscionable for me to challenge them without grounds." Rollin Dasen, MSUEA president, said he was optimistic that his unit would eventually be certified the winner. "The way it stands now, we are victorious," he said, " and if they count the rest of the ballots our margin will be even greater. We hope this will be settled quickly so we can get a contract signed." Daniel Kruger, professor of labor and industrial relations, and James Spaniolo, former assistant to President Clifton R Wharton, Jr., have been named by Governor William G.

Professors rush from their cars into the building's Can Con Room where they are joined by students. President Wharton presides over the group for from 30 minutes to three hours. Adjournment! ... And it's bac k to their cars. These Tuesday meetings form the basis of the University's academic governance system. For at least once a month the Academic Council meets to advise the president of all matters of educational policy. It meets for consideration of proposals of matters pertaining to the general welfare of the University. It meets to approve or reject major changes in courses and curricula. It meets to provide a voice for in University students and facuity policy. It meets in behalf of and for the Academic Senate. The Senate, composed of professors, associate professors and assistant professors of the regular facuity, as well the Provost and President, takes as formal action on to matters of educational policy. issues rela ting Matters brought before the Senate come as recommendations or reports of the Council. It meets at least once each term. The Academic Council, which is fed through a committee system, has been in existence since the mid - fifties. The monthly meetings of the Council provide a platform and an action ground for behind the scenes committee work. Recommendations and proposals get their acceptance or rejection via the Council and the Senate. The MSU Board of Trustees provides the final determination on issues of major University policy. Not all of the issues that reach the Council and Senate have to pass to the Board of Trustees, however. Current issues facing the Academic Council are the Faculty Grievance Procedure, a Rights and Responsibilities document, general education, and structure and curriculum for the College of Urban Affairs. The issues will have major billing on the coming the groups' agendas in months. These major issues will be mixed with such routine matters as curriculum approvals, academic calendar changes and other educational matters. Items reach the Council and Senate agendas through a steering committee. This committee is responsible for setting the agendas. Another powerful committee of the Academic Council is the Committee on Committees. This committee provides a check of the various activities of the various committees. in addition Faculty members, to serving on the Senate and the Council, the Council's 12 standing serve on committees and the various ad hoc committees. Listed below are the faculty members who serve in the University's academic governance structure. NAME AND RANK DEPARTMENT JAMES MADISON COLLEGE STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE FACULTY Clifton R.
