Hughes, professor of anthropology and director of the Cen.ter since 1965, indicated that he is leaving because of a growing gulf between himself and some of the core faculty members over the issue of black control of the Center. ''I'll wait to see how my own interests evolve and where they take me in terms of teaching and research, to see whether it would be appropriate for me to stay with the Center as a member of the is faculty," Hughes said.

For that reason and because the Center is not now set up for or funded for the same things that black students have recently demanded, Hooker said the Center is in danger of folding. Hughes agreed. Part of the Center's funding, he said, comes from the U.S. Office of Education. Each' year a proposal is submitted to that office.

Jan. 13, 1970 Grad teachers in new program By ELIZABETH HARRISON Educational Development Program A program that could be used by to train any academic department graduate teaching assistants is being developed by the University's Learning Service. Worked out last year with graduate students from a variety of disciplines, formal the- program evaluation this year. It should be ready for adoption by next fall. is undergoing The la-week program seeks to increase each trainee's effectiveness in teaching style;, no single his own "educational method" is propounded. It takes a "problem-solving" approach to the instructional p.(ocess. Participating graduate students are their own to develop encouraged methods around an understanding of how human beings learn. They are given feedback on instructional the difficulties and successes they encounter as they teach a regularly scheduled class. Recognizing the heavy demands on faculty time, the program is designed to be operated as far as possible by the trainees themselves. Graduate students help each other ide~tify and analyze instructional problems, and a resource library and training guide for discussion leaders are being prepared. * * * IS, HOW HERE the program opera tes: each graduate student 'participant teaches one regular class a in an in his own discipline week experimental classroom maintained by the Learning Service. The sessions are videotaped, and the teaching assistant reviews his own videotapes and selects ones.to show to his colleagues at weekly disclission sessions. In the discussion sessions, each teaching assistant learns which of his instructional problems his colleagues observe via videotape. And he helps the others (a method that has been found superior to critical individual viewing, where behavior tends to be overlooked). their problems identify The graduate students discover that many of their own teaching problems are experienced by their colleagues and that, for each problem, there are many alternative solp.tions. They collaborate to modify ex:isting teaching aids and procedures, and to design new on~. in Initial response to the program has been favorable. An excerpt from the first report on the project says: "In general, graduate teaching assistants the program were participating enthusiastic about it and thought it was a valuable experience .... Most graduate teaching assistants felt that the program provided a necessary framework for understanding the instructional process and helped some important teaching skills." them develop Additional information on the project may be obtained from Lawrence T. Alexander, acting director, Learning Service, 353-8940. Graduate teaching assistants critique their classroom performances through videotape. Any instructional problems? , 'LSD' may be what's needed Do students ever complain that your course isn't relevant? Do you never seem to have enough time. in your classes to cover desired coursework? The answer may be LSD - Learning Systems Design as developed by the Learning Service, a division of the University's Instructional Development Services. "What we try to do," explains Lawrence Alexander, acting director of the Learning Service, "is not only help faculty solve the particular instructional problems bothering them but also teach them how to solve problems in the future through the systems approach to problem solving." Alexander says that many problems that instructors bring to the Learning Service stem from the fact that they are not familiar with modern techniques of instructional design. * * * "ONE OF THE FIRST things we do is help an instructor specify objectives for his course," he explains. "Then he must define what is required of the student as he enters the course. "Next we apply learning principles to select the instructional media and procedures needed to solve the problem. Theil we evaluate to see if we have accomplished our objectives:" that a l,arning system may consist of any combmation Alexander notes these components: lab assistants, of students, assistants, curriculum, media, physical equipment. teachers, teaching instructional lab facilities and "A learning system may be as simple as a student and a book," Alexander points out, "or as complicated as a university. " MSU's Learning Service, he adds, is a service to faculty members and academic departments to help improve undergraduate instruction. It has not sought business but rather has allowed instructors to contact the service with their instructional problems. individual faculty members have been helped," Alexander said, their "they have departments and found difficulty in system explaining approach. We soon had requests to conduct department workshops in Learning Systems Design." returned learning "As the to So far the Learning Service has conducted workshops for the nursing and biochemistry departments, involving both graduate students and faculty in the latter. LSD can also help faculty answer: Do we in the department know where we are going?

As a result, his voice was absent during last fall's Academic Council deliberations of the Massey Report. Following are excerpts from a the statement he prepared Faculty News. for Critics often overlook the transparent fact that neither the chairman nor any committee member can dictate the contents of a committee report. What emerges from a committee is usually something which no member considers perfect bu t which most or all find acceptable. less First, So it was with the Massey Report. I think that its provisions were, on the whole, reasonable, realistic and forward looking. Had I been a dictator rather than a mere committee chairman, there would have been two minor changes. favored student I re p re se n tat ion on the University Educational Policies Committee. Second, although I thought it important that students have an effective voice in shaping POLICY relating to promotion and for promotion and tenure, the procedures for ascertaining satisfaction of those that only criteria, etc.), persons sen ior the person being considered should ADJUDICATE individual cases ... I believed to criteria tenure (e.g. the * * * I want now to reply to some of the criticisms voiced the Academic in Council. Some of them were apparen tly "tongue-in-cheek. " that For example, the charge the report is "inconsistent" and "illogical" must have been advanced facetiously. As a professional logician, I can offer expert testimony that in none of the many senses of those terms known to logicians is the report either inconsistent or illogical. But most of the criticisms are serious, were seriously offered, and deserve serious reply. The report was censured for not giving sundry rationales s pc cific for its I see this as an recommendations. inevitable feature of such a report. For each recommendation adopted by the committee, there were probably 13 distinct rationales, one for each member of the committee ... shaping * * * There was, of course, consensus on the general objective underlying all the recommendations, namely that as young adults students should have an effective, systematic voice the in the University academic policies of community academic the and of subcommunities to which they belong ... Some have criticized the report for using vague "significant representation" and "appropriate numbers." The vagueness was deliberate. The vague language of the report was intended to give the several faculties, acting in good faith, maximum in applying the scope and flexibiHty to report's general recommendations their particular contexts. te rms like Some critics have hinted at a diminution of "faculty power." concur with Acting President Walter Adams, one of the defenders of the report (so far as I can discern from this distance), who openly acknowledged that sharing of power is the basic issue. Adams has himself long preached that sharing of power often leads to an increase rather than to a diminution (of faculty power). right a plain There are even times when power can be lost by a refusal to share it with to those who have participate. The present, I think, is one of those times. Students do have a right to help shape academic policy, and that right will be exercised (e.g. students will be heard by the Board of Trustees) whether or not we , the facuity, decide to transform facuIty government into academic government. By opening them to students, we can enhance the power of our councils which will there after speak, with an authority that must be heeded, for the total academic community.
