Approved general education criteria provides more flexibility in course offerings More flexible general education courses may soon be a reality for MSU students. The Academic Council Tuesday approved a set of criteria lor the development of general education courses in the areas of communication, the arts and humanities, biological, physical and mathematical sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences. The adoption of the criteria is one part of a general education plan approved by the council last year which allow will students to make substitutions for the 45-credit general education requirement. Presently, this requirement is met through University College. Dorothy Arata, assistant provost for undergraduate education, said the new plan provides the machinery for offering a range of courses acceptable for general education from every academic unit on campus, including, but from University not College. requirements excluSively, and said action, Dean Edward Carlin of UniverSity College voiced his approval of the council's that University College will still provide the main thrust of undergraduate education with educational broadened opportunities from other colleges. professor . of communication, chaired the ad hoc conunittee which developed the criteria. criteria calls Miller "interdisciplinary" "broadly based."

The word for faculty and staff who've been complaining recently about slow U.S. ma~l service is that in spite of a number of measures taken by the UniverSity and the U.S. Postal Service, things are not going to get much better in the near future. A crowded and out of date postal facility in Lansing and the reduction of transportation modes available to the postal service in the area are blamed for the problems, most of which are confined to second and third class mail.

The messenger service handles about 20,000 pieces of campus mail each day and processes about 4.6 million pieces of outgoing U.S. mail each year. Barring exceptional circumstances, all campus mail continues to be delivered within 24 hours, he says. Incoming mail, particularly that other than first class, is another matter.

Abolins, associate professor of physics, who is helping to put a few nuclear theories out to pasture. Abolins is a member of a research team using the neutron beam of the Argonne National Laboratory to analyze the interactions of some of the tiniest particles of matter the neutrons and protons that form the stuff of the cores of atoms. - Scientists have long been intrigued with protons and neutrons - nuclear particles with no charge. Now it seems . that the way a high - energy neutron interacts with a proton depends on the spin of the proton. Earlier, some scientists tossed aside this explanation. To fmd out what happens when a neutron bumps into a spinning proton, team used a method the Abolins pioneered at Berkeley and at Saclay, France. They arranged protons to see if the arrangement of spins affected their incoming neutron interactions with bullets. For a target they used protons of ordinary antifreeze. But first they added chromium to the antifreeze, bagged it and jammed and folded the bag into a copper box. After freezing the antifreeze the scientists used a powerful microwave device - similar to a mi!i"0wave oven - to help align the protons. Energy fed into the protons made some of them go to a different energy level and a different spin direction, until most of them were facing the same direction. A powerful magnet helped in reaching and maintaining the order of spin. What the scientist had was something akin to a box of spinning tops. They shot neutron bullets from the Argonne particle accelerator into the box and checked for patterns of ricocheting bits of matter. "Our work confirms results of recent experiments by others," said Abolins. "It turns out that the interaction depends quite strongly on the spin direction of the proton." As the neutron grazes~ the spinning proton it picks up a charge, along with spin information, said Abolins, and becomes a high - energy proton. such interactions Earlier, some physicists had guessed the that during neutron bullet must change into a proton by picking up tiny particles of "nuclear glue," called pions, from the target proton. "But it can't be pions alone," said Abolins, "because pions can't transfer information about spin." The outgoing protons receive the spin the information, he pattern of is dependent upon the spin of the target protons. ricocheting particles said, because in "Our current data are not agreement with anyone theory," said Abolins. "Pions may be involved, but so also are rho mesons and A. - sub - two mesons." " ' Pions are one of rmny types 'of rresons. The pion, or pi - meson is a meson that has no spin. A rho meson has a spin of one. An A - (sub two) meson has a spin 'of two. Mesons evidently hold the nucleus of an atom together. "It may be that we will have to come up with a new nuclear theory to explain our experimental results," said Abolins. But as with other high energy research, much remains to be done before is understood. the structure of matter Abolins, primarily an experimental s.cientist, said the team's research must meet the test of time: ',. "Theories come said Abolins, "but the experiment stands, if 'done well." and go," • • • Why the mail is slow (Concluded from page 1) to make it run as efficiently as it will in the future." that added Sanders tentative plans are underway to eliminate the second delivery each day to campus departments, largely because studies have shown that about 90 per cent of all first class mail reaches the campus in the second morning deJivery delivery consists of about 87 per cent other than first class mail. and the is Another major problem for the Postal transportation. Since no Service passenger trains serve Lansing anymore, and since the elimination of bus-like Highway Post Offices, the postal service has lost the ability to process mail in transit to and from the area. In spite of the problems, Sanders says the first class mail between the Lower most campus and most of Peninsula getnecond day delivery. Claude Courey, supcrintendent of mail at the East Lansing Post Office says experiencing no that particular problems in processing mail coming to campus. facility is The University Services and Materials Management Division, of which the messenger service is a department, has taken a number of steps to help speed the handling of both campus mail and incoming U.S. mail. said Director an John Lewis arrangement has been made to deliver all outgoing mail directly to the Lansing Post Office, thus bypassing the East Lansing facility and saving 10 to 12 hours. In addition, the campus phone directory was changed last year so the department name appears next to the individual's name. This was done because the department, not the office number, in delivery of all mail on campus. the critical element is to change For the same reason, plans are being letterheads on made University stationary to give more emphasis to the department. Incoming ,letters addressed without department name are often deiayed in delivery. University and postal officials have met during the last week to discuss alternatives to the present arrangements, for delivering mail on campus but nothing final has been decided. -MIKE MORRISON High - energy physicist Maris A.

New Vet Med curriculum set Reflecting the growing flexibility in veterinary medical education and changes in the practice of veterinary medicine, a new curriculum will be launched next June by the College of Veterinary Medicine, oldest of MSU's three medical schools. The new professional program is based on an entering class of 115 students admitted once a year, in contrast to the current two entering classes per year, each containing 50 students. . Flexibility of the new curriculum allows students in their last year of work to pursue electives tailored for such specialized fields as public health, laboratory animals, zoo and exotic animals, and the more classical small animal medicine and surgery and large animal medicine and surgery. W. W. Armistead, dean of the college, cited the need to educate new kinds of highly specialized veterinarians to keep pace with the changing pattern of veterinary practice. "The new MSU curriculum is a forerunner among the nation's 18 veterinary medical colleges," he said. "A similar program is underway at the University of Missouri and several other schools are considering curriculum changes." Armistead anticipates increased utilization of diversified methods and techniques of teaching, and foresees programs for continuing education through video tapes, films, cassettes and other media to be used by the practicing veterinarian without leaving his practice area. The new curriculum also enables the practicing veterinarian to participate in on - campus veterinary medical specialties. The undergraduate program will continue to operate on a year around basis, with a five - week vacation during the second summer added upon student request. Two veterinary medical students served on the 12 - member curriculum committee chaired by Hyram Kitchen, associate professor of biochemistry and assistant director of the center for laboratory arumal resources. Course content for the undergraduate curriculum now is divided into three segments. The first provides instruction in bas]c· sciences fundamental to the understanding of medicine, such as'biochemistry, microbiology, physiology, and pharmacology. Introductory classes' in clinical science provide the beginnirtg students with experience in patient care earlier in his profeSSional education. The second segment, or the core of medicine, utilizes the organ systems approach, such as cardiovascular, muscular, renal, and respiratory. Teaching comes from departments of small animal medicine, large animal medicine, and pathology, with additional instruction from basic science departments. . The final or clinical segment provides special electives dictated by career plans. Also available will be a five - week preceptorship conducted in an off - campus setting by a practicing veterinarian who will teach as an unpaid member of the voluntary faculty.

Included in . Feb. is Public Broadcasting Month February is "Public Broadcasting Month," and MSU's public radio and television stations are out to "show and tell" the public about their kind of broadcasting. The February recognition of Michigan's stations was proclaimed by Gov. William G. Milliken, who said public broadcasting "is a mechanism for bridging gaps during a time when personal communications ~em harder and harder to achieve." Eleven public radio and six public television stations, including WKAR-AM and WKAR-TV, are being honored this month for their service to the people of Michigan. Part of WKAR radio's celebration of Public Broadcasting Month will be two special programs. One, a four-hour jazz program live from Ann Arbor, will feature three of Michigan's top jazz experts, including WKAR's Gary Laehn. The three hosts will talk with the studio audience, discuss the various forms of jazz, take telephone requests and play their favorite jazz recordings - from the earliest to the most modern. The program will be heard on WKAR-FM at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10. . Another special program similar in format to National Pub-lic Radio's "All Things Considered" (which is heard each weekday on WKAR), will offer listeners an hour of news and features about Michigan on WKAR-FM at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21. Michigan's public radio stations cover almost every county in the state with music, news, public affairs and informational and educational programing - all public-service broadcasting without commercial messages. "As public radio stations, we are not responsible to sponsors, who may have their own point of view," said Richard Estell, general manager ofWKAR-A\f and FM and chairman of the board of National Public Radio, "but we are responsible to the public, which has many points of view. The responsibility is awesome, but Tags to identify hazardous chemicals have been distributed to all departments on campus as part of the month-old chemical waste disposal program.

The first time they hear it, Mark Rosenhaft admits, people usually scoff at the proposition that MSU should collect all the papers and solid waste it accumulates and start piling the stuff into man - made ski slopes. But once the snickers subside, the idea becomes appealing: And now Rosenhaft's proposal, while still far from becoming a reality, is at least into serious discussion. MSU planners and faculty researchers are now holding meetings to study the feasibility of a "trash mountain" as an alternative method of disposing of the University's trash accumulation thai reaches 250 tons a week. MSU trash haulers now make eight to 10 trips a day to a commercial landfill. It costs the University about $30,000 a year just to use the landfill. Starting a campus landfill and turning it into a ski slope is perhaps Rosenhaft's most dramatic proposal to date, but it is only one of the many he has promoted since he became director of the Waste Control Authority two years ago; The authority was created in 1971 on the recommendation of a consulting engineering firm. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that it is the first office of its kind on a U.S. campus. Since its inception, the authority has developed and promoted a variety of projects, including: - The State News recently experimented with the use of recycled newsprint. Eventually the paper plans to be printed wholly on recycled paper. And a student - directed program encourages collection and recycling of the newspaper. - Nearly 30 per cent of the paper used for MSU's official brochures, catalogs and other publications during 1972 came from recycled stock. - Under a new program, all hazardous chemicals wastes ready to be discarded are collected and turned over to a Detroit firm for disposal. No longer are such wastes dumped into underground sites. - The authority sponsored a Red Cedar River cleanup day last fall, and another such event is planned for this spring. The office also promotes -Drawing by Bob Brent campus litter control through increased placement of waste recepticles decorated with "Pitch In" decals. Thirty - year - old Mark Rosenhaft is trained as a microbiologist, but he is a self - acknowledged missionary when he sets out to promote a new way of controlling campus waste. Rosenhaft's enthusiasm oozes, for example, when he talks abou l ~the plan for building a ski slope on a foundation of trash. And his goals aren't modest: He would like to have a small liill ready by next winter, and, in two or three years, a longer run for advanced skiiers. Rosenhaft thinks the operation would require about 50 acres, probably (Profiles J Mary Rothman faces 'nitty-gritty' With "an approach of reasonableness," Mary K. Rothman, the new director of women's affairs said she plans to get down to the "nitty - gritty" of her job. Mrs. Rothman, 29, has been on the Department of Human Relation's staff less than two weeks. She said she has been using the time University's affirmative action policy and to find out "where the University is at" in the area of women's interests. to assess the "Before you can plan and i:nplement any new program, you have to see what has been done and what the interests and problems are," she said. Some According to Mrs. Rothman, much of the groundwork has been accomplished by various groups at the University, and she has been meeting with these groups. interests that she will be investigating in behalf of women are educational benefits, faculty salaries, communication vehicles, day - care centers, career counseling, life - long educational opportunities and graduate school admissions. Mrs. Rothman said she has never been an activist in women's organizations, but has had an interest and a commitment to change for women. "I believe that the best way to affect change the is by working within established channels and making those channels work for you," she said. She added, however, that both the activist and passivist are necessary in bringing changes. "The activist has forced the problems to center stage, which has been needed," she said. According to her, the problems have been brought to the surface, and now it is necessary to work within the system to resolve them. Mrs: Rothman will be assisted in her task by a professional assistant and a clerical - _ technical staff member. Additionally, she said that she will be assisted by other offices, such as minority affairs and minority training programs, and the Women's Advisory Council, which she chairs. Mrs. Rothman came to the position after six years with the Michigan Department of Civil Service as a personnel management specialist. She also worked for one year as women's editor of the Ford Motor Company's newspaper. She received a bachelor's degree in English from MSU in 1965, and an MBA in personnel management in 1971. She said she is aware that her new position has a very high - risk, "but I am looking forward to the challenge and providing input into an area that affects a major segment of the University." "It is a way that I can make a meaningful contribution that can lead to effective solutions to the problems of women," she said. "I don't see the position as a crusade, but as an organized effort to enhance the status of women." Mrs. Rothman added that she hopes her office can initiate preventative, long - range programs' to aide the interests of women, rather than just dealing with immediate problems; Her responsibilities will include MARY K. ROTHMAN development of the University's affinnative action program for women, investigation and mediation of complaints of discrimination against women, assistance in the recruiting of women for faculty and staff positions, and liaison with academic and other departments on matters affecting women. - SANDRA DALKA somewhere south of the main campus. But others point out that a lot of planning and study will have to be done before the idea can even be proposed to the central administration. The director of the campus planning division, Milton Baron, emphasizes that a number of questions need answers before students can start waxing their skis. Baron is concerned about the possibility that residues from the trash might seep into underground water supplies, about the stability of trash and soil formed into a hill, and about the cost of building and maintaining a ski facility. And he says that attention should be directed toward eventual recycling of trash, not just finding new methods of throwing it away. Louis F. Twardzik, professor and chainnan of the park and recreation resources department, thinks the plan is feasible. "It's a matter of putting all the things together," he says. Twardzik also sees an above - ground landfill as a "very important research an.d demonstration exercise." A whole range of topological alterations could be tried and studied, he says, with man - made hills and valleys fashioned to bring the predominately flat vlidety to landscape. Orlando Andersland, professor of civil engineering, is also interested in the plan, but he reserves his judgement until more study has been done. Andersland is currently involved in a project funded by the Environmental the Protection Agency effects and properties of an experimental landfill for papermill sludge. to examine These men and others will be involved in discussions to decide if a trash mountain should become a reality. But Rosenhaft maintains an unswerving optimism. "We lue ideally suited for a ski slope," he says. "We now prOVide no outdoor winter activities for our studerits. Since I first mentioned the idea, I've had literally hundreds of calls, mostly from students, wanting to know when the slope would be ready." Rosenhaft says that the university increasing will be producing ever - amounts of trash - especially when its remaining incinerators are replaced by compactors - and he adds that landfills still represent the cheapest form of disposal. By piling trash above the ground - and covering it daily with dirt - "you increase the longevity of a landfill," Rosenhaft says. "Space for landfills is being rapidly depleted," he adds. "If we can help develop the concept of building them above ground, it could help cities and towns everywhere." Rosenhaft reports that similar projects are being built or planned elsewhere, including one in Wyandotte and another near Chicago. Viewing MSU's total waste control program, Rosenhaft expresses concern about the need to update technology and to regard wastes more "as a resource." Beyone his vision for a "trash mountain" loom more ideas for waste re - use: shredded newspapers as animal bedding, for one, and "glassphalt" to surface more campus bicycle paths, for another. -GENE RIETFORS Page 5, Feb. 8, 1973 It takes two to schedule Terry Armstrong and Margaret Brodbeck have talked to each other every day for about five - and - a - half years. They just met last Friday. Their curiosity got the best of them. Armstrong is assistant registrar in charge of classroom scheduling. Mrs. Brodbeck is in charge of traffic and scheduling for Instructional Television Services (lTV). BY JANICE HAYES And when they met the conversation soon turned to scheduling. Armstrong explained that his job entails scheduling MSU's 40,000 students in their regular classes, plus the Evening College, free University classes, and many student organizations. The Office of the Registrar publishes the Schedule of Courses and Academic Handbook. each term. Mrs. Brodbeck- said that lTV scheduling: includes studio times, tape machines, tape numbers, permanent and special classroom assignments. A stenciled program schedule of all courses using lTV is distributed to 200 people on campus each term. The Scheduling office is also responsible for a daily log which updates this schedule with special requests and additions. Both Armstrong and Mrs. Brodbeck work at least a term in advance, sending letters to department heads requesting their needs for facilities. The biggest problem is getting professors to utilize the unpopular hours. Classroom assignments must be scheduled for lTV courses and special playbacks by Mrs. Brodbeck through Armstrong. This necessitates daily contact. Armstrong said that there are special considerations for scheduling lTV courses. He cited two examples. Psychology 290, Human Sexuality, must be scheduled in classrooms where the television sets are equipped with special adapters enabling only certain rooms to receive the program. Accounting and Financial Administration courses are scheduled in classrooms with talkback facilities so students can communicate with the professor. They agreed that an unusual aspect of their jobs is getting to know people around campus by their voices. Mrs. Brodbeck said, "You hear a voice day after day and you finally get together out of curiosity." Retried from the Navy after 24 years, Armstrong said that people are always dropping into his office out of curiosity. "A lady that I've been working with for six or seven years stopped in one day to see what I look like. She laughed when she ~aw me and said she had pictured me as short and fat." Armstrong, who has a reputation for holding information in h~'s head about every classroom on campus, told how his job has changed since he started in October of 1963. ','Before we computerized, we had to hand post all information after registration. We wouldn't know until we had compiled all the information if we had scheduled 90 people in a room that would only hold 80. Then room changes were made. "Now all that is taken care of before registration begins - with the help of early enrollment. We work during in registration the class card arena, approving adds and making decisions with departments on any last minute changes," he said. started Mrs. Brodbeck talked about how things have changed for her. She first at lTV (then Closed Circuit Television) in 1963. She worked for two - and - a - half years and then left until 1970, when she returned as the director of traffic and scheduling. "When I first started we only had four tape machines and we took role in every television course. Now we are working with over 2,000 videotapes and implementing a new system to enable quicker' access to our library material," she said. The scheduling jargon continued to flow. Armstrong and Mrs. Brodbeck laughed about some unusual requests. In the summertime, there are always calls for a room on the west side of the building for morning classes, because of the sun. Sometimes a student calls to request a playback he has missed, and can't understand why a playback can't be scheduled for one individual. And the favorite is, "I want to schedule a class seven minutes walking distance from Wells Hall. .. " JMC e valuation extended Are grades a true evaluation of a student's abilities and aptitudes? The staff and students at Justin Morrill College, don't think so. The Justin Morrill Pass - No Grade (PN) evafuation system experiment, which is now third year of in its operation, has been extended to 1975. JMC instructor, the system attempts to give the student more information about himself, by using written evaluations instead of grades. to Neil Cullen, According The system has brought with it a variety of questions and criticisms. For example, what happens to a student under the PN grading system when graduation roles around and he wants a job? According to Cullen, each graduating student has a profile which is a combination of all of his written to evaluations. This profile is sent ~ n terested employers and graduate schools and serves as the student's transcript. Since this year's class will have the largest proportion of PN evaluations, an extensive follow - up program is planned in order to fmd out exactly how these students are received in the job market and graduate school. Employers who have tended to rely heavily on grades in the past, are not enthused about toward eliminating grades. They feel that grades are a convenient and fairly reliable indicator of a student's future job success. trend the Cullen disagrees with this viewpoint. He says that the written evaluation system gives employers a more complete picture of the student as an individual. Since JMC students take about half of their courses outside the college, employers can utilize both SYSlcUIS . Margaret Brodb~ck and Terry Annstrong Children's textbooks may be d~scriminating education Three MSU faculty members and an instructor in the Center for Urban Affairs are among a larger number of educators who feel that textbooks for children have not gone far enough to remove old stereotypes about minorities and ethnic groups. All four were among 46 reviewers who participated ina Michigan Department of Education study of 25 social science textbooks last year. a the reflect textbooks That study concluded that although some progress, teachers must be extremely wary of using single textbook as instructional tool in the classroom. Only 31 per cent of the ratings of the textbooks studied were favorable while 69 per cent were negative. All four MSU faculty members that should be supplementary material introduced to portray more effectively America's pluralistic society and overcome the inherent limitations of textbooks. the classroom agreed into Daniel Jacobson, director of the Social Science Teaching Institute, places little criticism on the publishers. Instead he sees the textbooks as a reflection of the larger society. "Writing American history is a great problem," he says. "It's still pretty- clear that we have a mainstream America that can't is WASPish. You disregard the mainstream. The problem is, how much do you devote to the racial and ethnic groups?" certainly Speaking of the book he reviewed for the state study, Jacobson said, "The Indian is treated basically as a challenge to the Puritan enterprise, although the author does better in the chapter on the Indian's westward frontier and movement. Nowhere, however are the problems of the present-day Indians considered. Chicano and/or Spanish American travails and contributions are not touched upon, and the Irish, Poles, the Italians, Jews, etc. arc given, perhaps, short shrift." He said the text was, in many ways, first rate, but "a book cannot be all things to all people." William W. Joyce, professor of elementary and special education and editor of a supplement to the official journal of the National Council for the Social Studies, says "social studies textbooks for the early elementary grades may well be among the most influential books that children read in school." He believes that merely painting the faces black or brown, or "wnting in" the black American are insufficient. In most cases, he says, the publisher must have an entirely new book written - a time consuming undertaking. critical is more Janet Alleman, associate professor of education, than Jacobson of the publishers. She feels their representatives are not attuned to the issues of today and that many are not ready to risk changing their textbooks. field She puts the responsibility for a balanced education squarely on the shoulders of the teachers, and urges them to provide supplementary material to make up for the shortcomings of some of their textbooks. Richard Thomas, researcher in black history in the Center for Urban Affairs, agrees with for outside the need material, such as paperbacks, but still believes teachers will continue to teach what they want to believe. "Textbooks are only one part of the cycle," he says. "Teachers . are not familiar historical discrepancies. " with the better produce Thomas says colleges and universities should informed teachers, and black historians should be encouraged so children can be exposed to different interpretations of history. -JANET MARSH Page 6, Feb. 8, 1973 Ham let, concerts highlight cultural activities FRED BRUFLODT A new interpretation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," a folk - dance group from Yugoslavia, concerts by the MSU Symphony Orchestra, the State Singers and a renowned cellist top the entertainment list on campus this week. And if that isn't enough, you might want to visit the Faculty Art Exhibition in the Kresge Art Center Gallery through Feb. 25. Twenty faculty artists are represented. Tonight at 8: 15 p.m. the Lecture - Concert Series (Series "A") presents the Singers and Dancers of Luubljana in the University Auditorium. The performers are really members of two groups, the France Marolt Dancers and the Tone Tomsic Choir, both of which were founded by France Marolt, an ethnomusicologist. The Choir presents songs drawn from its rich repertoire of more than 300 folk melodies. The dancers authentically present the little - known dances of Yugoslavia. HAMLET Fred Piegonski, a Ph.D. candidate in theatre at MSU, promises that his interpretation of "Hamlet" will not be "an historical reproduction of what the Elizabethans did with the play." Now the characters have become circus performers and will use dance - like movements and gymnastics to physicalize the emotions presented in Shake speare's drama. According to Piegonski, the basis for the circus idea innovator, came from the Russian Meyerhold, who in the early 1920s produced various plays using movement to express the words with emphasis on theatricalism. Set designer Michael Hans translated the circus theme into a set which includes several circular platforms, a large structure for climbing, and a tent - like effect from large triangular shapes of orange and yellow canvas. • The play has been staged largely for the benefit of MSU humanities students reading "Hamlet," but is open to the public as well. "Hamlet" will be offered at 8: 15 p.m. tonight through Sunday in the Union Ballroom except for Friday's production which will be in Wonders Kiva. There will be a small admission charge.
