MSU budget 

While 

When  Michigan  lawmakers  returned 
to  Lansing  this  week  they  found  the 
Governor's  budget request,  the  size of a 
New  York  City  telephone  directory, 
waiting  for 
them.  The  budget 
recommendations  to  the  legislature  by 
Gov.  William  G.  Milliken  is  the  first 
major  step  of  the  sometimes  lengthy 
appropriations journey for MSU. 
important, 

the  governor's 
recommendations  must  still  stand  the 
the 
test  of  political  battles  within 
legislature.  A  house  of  representatives 
strongly  controlled  by  the  Democrats 
must  be  convinced  that  the  governor 
can  in  fact  make his  promised tax - cuts 
and  still  provide  for  the  needs  of  the 
citizens.  In  recommending  over  $ 511 
million  for  Michigan  public  higher 
education,  the  Governor  observed  that 
enrollments  continue  to  stabilize,  with 
state  four - year colleges and universities 
currently  enrolling  about  280,'000 fiscal 
year  equated  students.  He  called  for 
increased  financing  of  colleges  and 
universities  due  to  the  rising  costs  of 
doing business. 

Under  the  governor's 
recommendations,  if  followed  by  the 
legislature,  MSU  would  receive 
$78,132,000.,  an 
increase  of  $7.3 
million  dollars  over  last  year's 
appropriation. 

The  next  step  in  the  appropriations 
process  will'  be  careful  study  of  the 
governor's  budget  request  by 
the 
appropriations  committees  of the house 
and  senate  through 
their  higher 
education sub - committees. 

The  future  of  MSU's  pr~posed 
College  of  Law  will  have  to  stand  the 
same  political  test  of the appropriations 
process  as  the  total  University's  budget 
request.  The  governor's  request calls for 
$688,000.  for  the  creation  of  a  law 
school  at  MSU  opening  January,  1974, 
with an enrollment of 75  students. 

The  governor's  recommendations  in 
the  area  of  capital  outlay  includes 
several  important  University  projects. 
The  continued  construction  of  Power 
the  installation  of  air 
Plant  3  and 
conditioning in Erickson Hall are two of 
the  continuing  projects  recommended.

is  to  be  recruited  for  the  projected 
starting  date  of  January,  1974, 
according to Provost John Cantlon. 

Ideally,  the  University  would  like  a 
firm  reading  on  the 
legislature's 
intentions with  regard  to the law school 
by  the  end  o(  March,  he  said,  but  he 
could  not  speculate  on  whether  or  not 
that date was realistic. 

If the  approval  of the  legislature  was 
delayed through the spring, Cantlon said

region, within the decade, he said. 

Already  migrating  hungry  masses 
were  being  settled  in  camps outside  the 
city,  because  the  government  feared 
riots if they reached Bombay. 

Throughout  the rest of the world 750 
million  people  will  be  added,  said 
Borgstrom, and he  warned: 

"This  decade  of the  70~s is  the most 

ominous in all world history." 

Last  March,  Borgstrom  was  reported 
in  England's  "Observer Review" to have 
predicted  mass  starVation  in  pockets of 
the  world  by  1974.  The  news story was 
based  on  an  interview  with  Borgstrom

"He  did  not  hesitate  to  carry  food

Consider  also  the  energy  dynamics 
involving  an  acre  of  modern  farmland, 
he  said.  Energy input  - such  as  tractor 
fuel  and coal burnen for energy  to make 
fertilizer - exceeds the energy output in 
terms of foodstuffs from crops.

A  woman  faculty  member  will  be 
selected  this  spring  as 
the  frrst 
administrative  intern in  a  new program 
for women at MSU. 

She  will  work  side  - by  - side  with 
Lois  A.  Lund,  dean  of  the  College  of 
Human  Ecology,  during  the  1973-74 
academic  year.  The  University  will  pay 
both  her  salary  and  the  salary  of  a 
temporary faculty replacement. 

The  academic  administrative 
internships  is  part  of  the  University's 
affirmative  action  program  for  women. 
It  is  one  of  21  actions  and

to 
administration  in  July,  1972, 
improve 
the  status  of  women  on 
campus. 

The  College  of  Human  Ecology  was 
chosen  for  the  first  internship  because 
84.2  per cent of its faculty  in the tenure 
stream are women. This is higher than in 
any other college. 

Two similar  internships  to  be  funded 
by  grants  from  outside  the  University 
have  been  approved.  One  will  be  in  the 
Provost's  Office,  and 
the  second 
department  will  be  selected  jointly  by 
the  intern  and  the  appropriate  dean  or 
director.  The  Provost's Office is  hopeful 
that  funds  for  these  two internships can 
time  for  the  coming

in 
academic year. 
According 

to  Dorothy  A.  Arata, 
assistant  provost  and  designer  of  the 
proposal,  this  may  be  the  only program 
of  its  kind  in  the  country  for  women, 
and  could  be  a  model  for other colleges 
and universities.

Kreinin  says dollar devaluation  welcome 
The  u.s.  decision  to  devalue  the  dollar  on world  money  markets is  a  "highly 
welcome  response  to  market forces,"  says  MSU  economist  Mordechai Kreinin,  a 
specialist  in  world  monetary  systems.  He  said  that  the  10  per  cent  dollar 
should  help  the  U.S.  balance  of payments  position  by encouraging 
devaluation 
both  the  flow  of  American  goods  to  other  nations and  the  return  of American 
dollars back to the U.S. 

An immediate effect, he noted, is that "American tourists will find their foreign 
vacations  more  costly  since  the  dollar  now  buys less  in foreign  currencies,  while 
foreigners can see America cheaper in terms of their own currencies." 

Kreinin  said  that  the  new  10  per  cent  dollar  devaluation  -

following  by just 
is  not necessarily  evidence  that  the 

about  one  year  an  8  per  cent  devaluation  -
earlier devaluation was a failure. 

Part  of  the  effect  of  the  earlier  devaluation  was  negated  by  other  factors 
including  the  upswing  of  the  American  economy,  he  said,  and  not  enough  time 
has  elapsed  for the first  devaluing of the dollar to have full impact. 

It  may  take  two  to  three  years  for  the  current  devaluation  to  work,  Kreinin 

added. 

. 

He  said  that an  "almost imperceptible  change"  seems to be occurring now;:  "It 

is becoming increasingly possible to devalue the dollar. 

"For almost  30 years,"  he added, "the. exchange system was built on the dollar 

as the standard of value, with all  currencies pegged to it." 

While  Kreinin  expects  this  system  to  continue,  he  said  it  is  "significant  and 
welcome"  that  "foreign countries appear now more willing to permit the dollar to 
come down in value without their currencies following suit." 

Kreinin  says  that the renewed lack of confidence in the dollar may stem from a 
recent report  that  the  U.S.  showed  a  balance  of trade deficit (ilnports  exceeding 
exports)  during  1972.  This  could  suggest  to  speculators,  Kreinin  adds,  that the 
international agreements reached in December  of  1971,  including revaluations of 
the yen and  European currencies, either are not working or have been inadequate. 
Kreinin  also  notes  that  the  U.S.  balance  of trade  deficit  can  be  attributed  at 
least  in  part  to  the  high  growth  rate  in  output  iin  America,  which  encourages 
imports and widens the trade deficit. 

What  could  eventually  help  offset  the  balance  of trade  deficit,  he  says,  is  the 
fact  that  the  U.S.  inflation  rate  has  been  about  half  that  in  Europe,  and  the 
possibility of higher interest rates in the U.S .. 

Kreinin  adds:  "The  current  international  financial  negotiations  designed  to 
reform  the international currency system should be intensified. The United States 
should  press  for  a  system  in  which  the  exchange  value  of  the  dollar  ~an be 
changed just as the values of other currencies can be changed." 

He  notes  that under  present  conditions  the  dollar serves  as  a standard of value 
"to  which  all  currencies  are  pegged."  This  limits  the  fluctuation  range  of  the 
dollar and relegates the U.S.  to a "passive role on the exchange markets." 

But Kreinin  sees  a  bright  side  to  the  current  currency  confusion:  It may  press 
policy  makers  "to  move  faster"  toward  achieving  a  truly  international currency 
standard. 

Air pollution  damages plants 
When  air  pollution  is  mentioned,  the emphasis is usually on how dirty it makes 
buildings  and  statues  and  what  it  does  to  people's  respiratory  systems,  but 
continuing research shows that it damages plants as well. 

Axel  Andersen,  professor  of  botany  and  plant  pathology,  said 'recently  that 

Michigan is lucky when it comes to pollution, since its air is fairly  pure. 

Andersen  spoke  at  the 47th Michigan  Forestry  and Park Annual Conference in 

the Kellogg Center. 

He  said  that  most  o'f  Michigan's  problems  come  from  at~ospheric inversions 
which  concentrate  the  pollutants:  When  the inversions  are  broken  up  by  winds, 
the  concentrated  pollutants  sweep  down  and  adversely  affect  plants  and  trees, 
burning their leaves and stunting their growth. 

These  acute  problems  are  easier to measure than the chronic harm done by low 
- level  pollution,  Andersen  noted.  He  showed  slides  of  pines  stunted  by  smoke 
from  a  Pennsylvania  power  plant,  even  though  the  plant  was  from  three to seven 
miles from  the trees. 

The  main  air  pollutants  -

sulphur  dioxide,  fluorides  and  photo  - chemical 
compounds (produced  by  the  reaction  of sunlight with exhaust fumes)  - are also 
a  problem  in  agricultural  areas,  he  said.  Some  varieties  of beans and potatoes can 
be defoliated by pollution. 

Andersen  also  described  his  work  with  14  gardens  set up  around  the  state  to 
the  effects  of  air  pollution  on  plants.  One  of them,  he  said,  had  good 

observe 
press coverage. It was in  the  backyard of a newspaper'.s garden editor! 

New  course for  union  members 
A  new  course  that offers Michigan  labor union  officers  and  members a chance 
to  learn  first  - hand  how  the  Stat e  Legislature  works  has  been  developed  by  the 
Labor Program Service of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations. 

"The  Michigan  Legislature  in  Action"  runs  six  weeks  and  covers  a  range  of 
topics  including:  facts  on  Michigan  government,  structure  and  operation  of the 
.State  House  and  Senate,  how  an  idea  becomes  law,  services  and  information 
available from  the State Legislature, and the role of pressure groups. 

Operation  Update  sessions set 

Three  major  figures  in  the  field  of  management  motivation  - Frederick 
Herzberg, George S.  Odiorne  and  Eugene  E.  Jennjngs - will  address Detroit - a:rea 
businessmen  March  13  and  29  as  part  of "Operation  Update" sponsored  by  the 
Graduate  School  of  Business  Administration  and  the  Advanced  Management 
Program Club of Detroit. 

The  two  sessions,  ma:rking the  third and fourth in a series of executive seminars 

held at Detroit's Mercy College, are open to the Detroit business community. 

Herzberg,  cited  by  the  National  Industrial  Conference  Board  as one of the five 
top  behavioral scientistS  who  have  most  influenced  the  thinking' of management, 
will  be  the  fea tured  speaker  March  13.  The t i tle  of his  talk  is  also  that of one of 
three books he has written:  "The Motivation  to Work." 

Odiorne,  dean  of  the  College  of Business  at  the  University  of Utah  and  one  -

time  consultant  to  Ford  Motor Company,  General Motors,  Honeywell, and other 
major  American  corporations,  will  discuss  "Management  by  Objectives"  at  the 
March 29 seminar. 

Jennings,  nationally'  known  consultant,  lecturer,  behavioral  scientist  and 

professor of management at MSU, will moderate both sessions. 

The  Advanced  Management  Program  Club  which  cosponsors  the  seminars  is 
comprised  of  MBA  graduates  of  MSU's  Detroit  - based  Advanced  Management 
Program.  The  vast  majority  of these  men  and  women  either  operate  their  own 
businesses or are top -level management people with firms in the Detroit area. 

Program  chairman  for  the  two  motivation  seminars  is  Andre Blay,  president, 

Magnetic Video Corp., Farmington. 

Tickets  for  both  sessions  are  $35,  or  $20  for  either  seminar.  Dinner  and 
cocktails  beginning  at  6  p.m.  are  included.  Reservations  may  be  made  with the 
MSU Advanced Management Program Club, 404 Eppley Center. 

IDe courses explore India,  Bangladesh 

A  new  courSy  that  involves  an  intensive  and  up - to - date look  at India  and 

Bangladesh will be offered this spring. 

"Recent Developments in South Asia:  India and  Bangladesh"  (IDC 400V) will 

be taught daily April 9 through April 20 for two  credits. 

Instructor  for  the  course  will  be  Marcus  Franda,  a  visiting  specialist  of  tht! 
American  Universities  Field  Staff  who  is  currently  based  in  New  Delhi.  His 
academic  interests  are  comparative  politics  and  international  relations,  and  his 
specialties are India and Bengal. 

Franda  is  an  assistant  professor  of  political  science  at Colgate  University  and 
has  been  assigned  to  the  American Universities  Field  Staff since December 1971. 
He  served  from  1968  to  1970  as  director  of  the  American  Institute  of Indian 
Studies in Calcutta and New Delhi. 

The two - week  course is administered by  the  Department  of Political Science 
in  cooperation  with the Asian Studies Center. Students completing the course will 
earn 'two credits in anthropology, geography or political science. 

Glass  display  in  Museum 

A  sparkling  display  of more than  50 glass  pitchers featuring  both pressed  and 

blown glass is currently on display at the Museum. 

The  exhibit  is  part of a collection of more than 300 pitchers which belonged to 
the late  Mrs.  Gladys  Ferden of Chesaning, Mich., and was donated to the museum 
by her husband, Lee Ferden. 

Many  of the  pitchers  date  back to the late  l800s and are excellent examples of 

glassware designs popular then. 

Each  design  has  its  own  descriptive  example  to  aid  museum  visitors.  For 
instance,  the  "peacock  design"  has  real  peacock  feathers  next  to  it  and  the 
"washboard pattern" is accented by a miniature washboard. 

Val  Berryman,  curator  of  historical  artifacts  at  the  Museum,  explained  the 

different processes involved in making glassware. 

"Blown  glass  is  actually  blown  and  molded  by  a  skilled  glassblower,  while 
pressed  glass  is  poured into a  mold  and  pressed  into  shape  with  a  plunger,"  said 
Berryman.  "Pressed  glass  evolved  as  an  inexpensive  imitation  of  cut  glass,"  he 
added. 

Accordirig  to  Be:rryman,  fiti~ cut gIass  is  blown into  a patterned mold, and the 
quality  of  glass  is  much  higher  than  that  used  in  pressed  glass  pieces.  "When 
sunlight  shines  through  cut glass,  the  colors of the rainbow are visible.  This is one 
way  of distinguishing pressed glass from  cut glass," he explained. 

"Pressed  glass  pieces  usually  have  visible  seams,  places  where  the  glass  was 
pressed  together in  the  mold  and  the glass  may  not  be  clear,"  he said.  Other tips 
on glassware  are  also  included in the exhibit .. 

Marketing  course set in  London 

Marketing students are being offered a chance to learn British retailing from the 

best possible vantage point  - a summer's stay jn  L<?ndon. 

MSU's  second  com parative retail  distribution  COUl"Se  will  be  conducted Tuly  9 -
Aug.  2S  through  the  University"s  Office  of  Overseas  Study .  It is  designed  for 
students  who have  completed  the  sophomore  year  and  who have had at least one 
marketing course. 

The  course  instructor,  Stanley  C.  Hollander,  professor  of  marketing,  lists  a 
number of distinctly  British  business  characteristics that students will learn about 
first - hand. 

*Each  outlet in  one  chain  of stores  employs  a "manageress"  to help  meet the 
employment 'needs  o f the  firm's  predominantly female  sales  force.  Salaries at t he 
stores  are  not  great,  Hollander- says,  but  "fringe  benefits are lavish"  and  include 
such  features  as  low  - cost,  for  employees - only  cafeterias and  beauty salons  at 
each store. 

~ 

*One  major  deparbnent  store  conducts  itself  as  a  participatory  democracy, 
with  ~ment  consulting  with  employees before  implementing  new  policies, 
and  :responding  t o  their  questions  an.d  concerns  through a  twice - weekly  house 
organ. 

*Unlike  the  U.S.,  British  policy  favors  developmeht  of  downtown  shopping 
rather than  suburban shopping centers. The result, says Hollander, is  city shopping 
districts  that  have  not  deteriorated  and  are  more  logical  than  their  U.S. 
counterparts, but which are  experiencing growth, crowding and congestion. 

Hollander  accompanied ' 19  stUdents  to  London  for  the  first  MSU  retailing 
program  last  summer.  Encouraged  by  the  success  of  the  program  and  the 
reception  the  students received from  British  businesses,  he is  now  organizing  this 
summer's program. 

"London has one  of the  most fascinating  collection  of stores and  retail outlets 
in  the world," he says.  Its retail scene ranges from  department stores and specialty 
shops to boutiques and "mod shops." 

When  they're  not  in  the  stores,  the  students will  hold  classes  on the  Bedford 
College  campus  of the  University  of London,  which  is  within walking distance of 
the  dormitory in which the students will be housed.

Key issues reviewed at board  retreat 

outlines 
The  following  report,  made  available  through  the President's Office 
the  major areas  discussed  by the Board of Trustees and University officials during 
their annual "retreat" last month. 

A  firmer  understanding  of  the  current  position  of  Michigan  State  University 
and  its future  role  as a leading institution of higher education in Michigan and the 
nation  were  the underlying  goals  of a  two - day  " retreat"  held recently with the 
MSU Board of Trustees. 

Continuing  a  practice  initiated  by  President  Clifton  R.  Wharton,  Jr.,  the 
trustees  met  with  top  University  officers  and  administrators in the annual session 
Jan.  9 - 10, at Kellogg Center. 

As described by President Wharton: 
"The  primary  purpose  of  the  retreat is to  provide  an  opportunity  for  greater 
indepth  presentation  and  discussion  of  the  basic  issues  and  problems  which 
confront  the  University  than is  possible  in regular  meetings.  The  occasion  is  not 
intended  t o  be one where decisions are made but rather a time when activtties and 
issues may be explored away from the pressures of immediacy and action." 

While  following  an  agenda  and  supported  by  prepared  briefing  papers,  the 
retreat descussions  were  informal  and  wide - ranging. In addition to obtaining the 
views  and  objectives  of  the  trustees  on  a  wide  variety  of issues,  the retreat also 
served  as  a  means  to  introduce  two  newly  - elected  trustees  to the  operations, 
problems and goals of the University. 

No  decisions  were  made; indeed,  the  many variables and unknowns inherent in 
the academic  world,  the  economy,  technological advances, professional demands, 
population  dynamics,  etc.,  make  it  extremely  difficult  to  come  to many tangible 
conclusions for very far into the future. 

Wharton  asked the trustees to keep two central issues in mind as they began the 

two days of discussions: 

"First,  the central purpose and function of Michigan State is academic - we are 
an  educational  institution  from  which  the  taxpayers  expect  a  contribution  in 
teaching,  research,  and  public  service.  Therefore,  the  issue  of  our  academic 
excellence,  or  the  assessment  of  how  well  we  are  meeting  this  obligation  is 
paramount.  How  well  are we  equipped to undertake these functions and how  well 
are we carrying them out? 

Second,  the  University  must  be  seen  as- a  total  system  whose  parts  are 
interdependent.  Decisions  on  pro~ams and  on  the  allocation  of  resour(;es are 
interlocked.  One cannot view  a  particular  department or college in isolation from 
the rest  of the  University  community.  A  budgetary  increase  is  the  policy  role  of 
the  Board  of Trustees  more  critical and necessary than in achieving the necessary, 
delicate balance among these parts and their individual academic goals." 

This report  does not attempt to relate in  detail all the areas discussed,  not does 
it seek  to  provide  a  definitive  presentation  of the views of the individual  trustees. 
Rather,  jt  is  an  effort  to  describe  some  of  the  highlights  of  the  agenda,  be 
illustrative  of  the  types  of considerations  which  the Trustees  and  administrators 
must  keep  in  mind  in  planning  for  the  future,  and  to  reflect  the  views  of  the 
trustees on a number of the issues. 

ADMISSIONS AND ENROLLMENTS 

The  crucial  element  of  population and  enrollment  projections in charting  the 
future  of  MSU  was  presented  and  discussed  in  some  detail.  Factors  requirin~ 
consideration in planning included the following: 

* Tlie  population of  18  - 24 - year - olds will  begin  to  decline significantly by 

the late 1970s. 

time in many years. 

* The  college  - going  rate  of Michigan young people is  dropping for  the  first 

'*  MSU's  on - campus enrollment has represented a slightly declining percentage 
of the  to taiMichigan college enrollments. This percentage has been  10 per cent of 
all  public  and  private  enrollments  in  the  state and  about  19  per  cent of  the  4  -
year  public  university  enrollments  for  the  past  two  years.  The  growth of tw~)-
year community colleges is a significant factor in the slight decline. 

* The class mix which has been undergoing substantial change during the 1960s 
may  be  stabilizing.  Freshmen  - sophomores have  dropped from 50 per cent to 38 
per  cent,  juniors - seniors  have  increased  from  33  per  cent  to  43  per  cent and 
graduate enrollments have increased from  18  per cent to  19 per cent. 

* Since  1960, freshmen increased  from  4.583  t o  a maximum of 7,853 in  1965 
and  have  dropped to 6,530 in  1972; tranSfers have climbed  from  1,469 in  1960 to 
a  maximum  of 2,938  in  1971; returning .students increased  from  10,297 in  1960 
to ~ maximum  of 23,169 in  1970 and were 22, 153 in 1972. 

_ 

Taking  these Q/ld other factors into  collsideratio'n.  it was the general feeling of the trustees 
that  the  period of rupid enrollment gro wth at MSU is  essentiaO.y  over.  While  the advent of a 
new College of Law and the  continued strengthellifl$ of the  medical colleges  will aeount for 
some  speciDlized  increases,  total  enrolle11ml  probably  will  decline  somewhat  in accordance 
wilh  state and ll/ltional population trends. 

Trustees indicated  that on  end to big enrollment -expansion would provide the opportunity 
for  the  University  to  stabilize  its  educatioll/ll  programs,  pion  better  for  future  shifts  ltl 
education  emphasis  and cOl/centrate  more  on  the  provision  of  qUlllity  instruction,  research 
and service. 

ACADEMIC ISSUES 

A  review  of past  and  present  academic  developments reflected  MS U's  growing 
strength  in  many  undergraduate  and  graduate  programs.  Indicators  of  these 
strengths included: 

*  Recognition  of  MSU  faculty  through  holding  of  office  in  professional 
receipt  of  awards,  scholarly  works  published  and  research 

organizations, 
achievements. 

*  Cognizance  of  the  University's  academic  excellence  (ACE 

ratings of 
prograllls, Centers of Excellence Awards, second ranking nationally in 

graduate 
total production of science graduates, etc.) 
*  Achievements  of  MSU  students 

(National  Science  Foundation  Awards, 
Woodrow  Wilson  Awards, Fulbright Scholarships, excellent job placement results, 
awards  in  disciplinary  contests,  National  Merit  Finalists  enrolled ,  etc.) 

The  Trustees  were  particularly  proud  of MSU's  academic  stonding  and  urged  that  it 
cOlltinue  to  be  protected and  strengthened.  The sTrenglh  of the  Unil1ersity's  wldergraduofe 
programs alld the -need for emph.asis 011  quality teaching were specially  mentioned .. 

In  the  graduate  area..  the  Utliversity's  traditiol/al  areas  of strellgth  were  clled;  01/  the 
immediate  horizon,  particular  mention  was  made  of  fhe  work  of  th~  Cell fer  for 
Environmental  Quality,  the  Detroit  MSA  progran!  of  the  College  of Busmess  and  the 
itlnovativeness of the medical colleges. 

Concern  was  voiced  that  in  building  new  areas  of emphasis,  the  University's  long· 

recogni2ed areas of strength not be weakened or neglected. 

. . 

Tn/stees  cautioned  the  administration  to  be  specially  alert and responsIVe  to  the  area  of 

faculty  morale and to the continuing need for competitive salaries. 

AREAS OF GROWTH 

While  total  enrollments  were  not  expected  to  increase,  the  University  will 
continue  to  grow  in  significant  areas.  Trustees  were  given  a  general  picture  of 

growth  points  in  the established  colleges,  as  well  as  progress  reports  on  the new 
College of Urban Development, and the proposed College of Law. 

Also  discussed  were the University's capital outlay requests to the governor and 
legislature,  which  include  a  Communication  Arts  Building,  a  Performing  Arts 
Center  and  a  Plant  and  Soil  Sciences  Building,  among  others.  The  legislature 
already  has  approved  construction  of  a  Clinical  Sciences  Building  which  will 
become an integral part of the new complex on campus. 

President  Wharton  also  called  attention  to  the  important  need  to  improve 
facilities  for  the  provision  of  student  health  care,  now  centered  in  outgrown 
quarters  at Olin  Health  Center.  He  also  discussed  the  work  of the Task Force on 
Lifelong Education. 

A  number of trustees  pointed to  the  University's  traditional service  role  and commitment 
to  the  Land·  Grant  philosophy,  which  can  be  strengthened  by  the  new College  of Urban 
Development.  Application  of expertise  gained  in  the  Cooperative  Extension  Service  to 
problems of urban·  metropolitan  areas  was  suggested,  and  strong support for the concept of 
lifelong education was expressed. 

ACADEMIC GOVERNANCE 
The  proliferation  of academic g overnance  machinery  and  the need  for  greater 

effieicncy were reviewed with .the trustees. 

In  the last  few  years  three main trends have emerged that introduce substantial 
stress  into  the  academic  governance  processes.  First  is  the  past  growth  in  the 
number of colleges and departments, making for a very large governance structure. 

recent  opening  up  of  academic  governance 

to  substantial  student 
The 
participatiOn  has  produced  a  substantial  increase  in  the  size  of  the  governance 
bodies  and  standing  committees,  in  the  frequency  and  duration  of the  meetings, 
the  difficulty  of  assembling  the  group,  and  has  slowed  the movement of issues 
through the system. 

Thirdly,  a series of precedent setting judicial decisions against various university 
practices  affecting  personnel  and  students,  followed  by the adoption of grievance 
procedures,  equal  opportunity  procedures;  together  with  the  impacts  of  recent 
student unrest  and  attempts to introduce  collective  bargaining into  the academic 
system,  all  converge  to  seriously  strain  the  academic governance system itself.  Of 
additional  potential  consequence,  they  place  the system  in jeopardy  of external 
criticism  because  of the growing  cost ;pf the  process in  faculty  and  student time. 
Provost  John Cantlon said  the administration  planned to scrutinize the present 
machinery  and  ultimately  offer  suggestions  for  making  it  more  effective  and 
efficien t. 

. ; > 

FINANCIAL'CONSIDERA TIONS 
Trends in University finances over, the past few years were discussed extensively 
with  the  Trustees.  It  was  pointed  out  that  while  therr  had  been  significant 
increases in  total dollars,  this  did  not  necessarily  reflect  a  corresponding increase 
in  the  University's  ability  to allocate  its funds.  Inflation, increased compensation 
and  major growth  in  student  fmancial  aid accounted for the bulk of the increased 
dollars. 

. 

Examples of the financial factors considered included the following: 
* There has  been  little  change in the proportion of the total  budget devoted to 
instructional units since  1962 - 63. Currently> 53.1  per cent is so allocated vs.  53.6 
per cent in 1962 - 63. 

. 

*  The  two  medical  schools  are  the  most  predominant  single  new  item in the 
entire  budget,  now representing  6  per cent  of the  total.  This  does not mean that 
other  colleges  or  other  functions  are  necessarily  more  impoverished  than  they 
would  be  in  the absence  of the  medical  schools because  there is no question that 
the  state  appropriation  and,  hence, 
the  total  budget,  would  be  reduced 
proportionately if the medical schools did not exist. 

* The  most 'significant rise iIi priorities l!mong the functions whlch have existed 
continuously  since  1962  - 63  is  in  student aid.  This is, directl.y  reflective  of the 
trustees  basic  policy-decision  to  implement  the  Student  Aid  Grant  Program. The 
University's  stUdent"aid  budget  has  increased  approximately  twice  as  fast  as  its 
student  fee  re~enue 'since  1962  - 63,  (43.7  per  cent  increase  in  student aid  vs. 
222.8 per cent increase for fee revenue). 

.'. 
,.  Despite  the  absolute  increase  in  student  fee  revenues  attributable  to  Larger 
enrollments  and  higher  fee  rates;  there  has  been little relative change since  1962 -
63  in the  portion of  the  budget  supported  from  fees. Presently  28.4 per cent of 
the budget is supplied  by fee revenues vs.  26.6 per cent in  1962 - 63. 

*  Compensation  has  increased  206  per  cent  in  the  10  - year  period,  while 
supplies  and  services  have  gone up 205  per cent (mainly attributable to inflation). 

Trustees  recognized  the  tight  financial  constraints  within  which  the  University  must 
operate,  with  no major improvements in  funding anticipated in  the picture in  the foreseeable 
future. 

. 

They  also  acknowledged the internal struggle with priorities,  such as the need to strengthen 
educational  activities  while  continuing  to  improve  facilIty  and  staff compensation.  The 
administration  was  urged  to continue efforts to analyze  internal needs so  that emphases and 
funds can  be shifted to maximize effectiveness. 

TEN YEARS HENCE 
A t  the  conclusion  of the  retreat,  President  Wharton  invited  the  trustees to give 
their views  on  how they  perceived  the  University  at  the end of the next decade. 
Following are examples of their comments: 

* The  next decade  will be essen tiDily a period of stabilization and consolidation; but this in 

no way suggests a static situation. 

* Michigan  State  University  should  coniv/ue  and  strengthen  its  tradition  of service  and 

commitment (0 the Land - Grant philosophy. 

*  Graduate  professional  programs should be able  to expand the  provision  of trained  man 

and woman power to meet society's needs. 

* Significant  impact should be  made  in  contributing to  the resolution  of urban  problems 
through  the  emerging College  of Urban  Development,  and  through  a growing urban focus of 
other MSU col/eges. 

. 
*  The  University  must  research,  develop  and exploit instructional  technology  systems zn 
order  to achieve  productivity improvements and  thus make more  effective use  of its limited 
resources. 

* The  University  should develop  a strong life  long education  component,  correspondingly 

making more effective use of University facilities and manpower to this end. 

* r.< q  University must focus its energies to prevent dehumal/ization ill its relationships with 

faculty,  staff,  students and the general public who support the institution. 

CONCLUSION 
Following  the  two  - day session:,  President Wharton said he was very pleased  by 
the  dedicated  interest  of  the  trustees  in  the  welfare  of  the  University  and  the 
people  who  make  up  the  MSU  community.  He  promised  continued  equal 
dedication  by  the  facuIty,  administrators  and  staff  in  strengthening  MSU's 
position  as  one  of the  nation's leading  universiti~s.

the  best  fuel  and  is  much  in  demand 
because  of  its  efficiency  and,  unlike 
most  coal,  there  is  very  little  sulfur 
dioxide produced. 

The  EPA  has  placed  allowable  sulfur 
dioxide  limits  on  all  new  power  plant 
facilities.  This makes the natural gas and 
oil  fuels  more  desirable  and  in  more 
demand  on  the  market,  according  to 
Nilsson. 

The  University's  power  facilities  are 
equipped  with  electrostatic  precipators 
which  retrieve  dust  particles  to  reduce 
air pollution to the allowable levels. 

The  shortage  of  natural  gas  has  hit 
the  University,  although it  was  not felt 
by the MSU community.

explained 

fIrst 
interruption  of  service  came  in  1971 
when  Consumers  Powers  cut  off  the 
supply  of gas  as a precaution. "This was 
done  to insure  that the  company didn't 
run short of gas," he "Said. 

The  latest  interruption  lasted  from 

last Oct.  2  to Dec.  30. 

"Consumers Power ran out of gas and 
it  had legal problems transporting its gas 
from  reserves  in  Louisiana,"  he  said. 
Coal  was  burned  on  campus  during 
these periods. 

He  added  that,  in  addition  to  the 
sulfur  dioxide  problem,  coal  can  be  a 
real  problem because  of the uncertainty 
of this fuel. 

"In Power Plant 65  the  coal  must  be 
pulverized  to  the  consistency  of  face 
powder  and  if the  coal  is  wet or frozen 
this can be difficult," he said.

is 
looking towards  the future  - with hope 
and apprehension; 

"NUQlear  energy  is  a  big  hope,  but 
that's  still  far  down  the  road,"  he  said. 
He  added  that  nuclear  power  plants 
are  currently  using  uranium,  "but  if 
they  continue  to  use  uranium  as  it  is 
presently  being  used,  the  fuel  reserves 
will be depleted in 25  years." 

The  breeder  reactor  is  another  hope 
in  the  realm  of possibility.  Nilsson  said 
that although in  the experimental stage, 
the  breeder  could  more  efficien'tly 
convert  nuclear 
to  electrical 
energy.

"The  ultimate  is  a  fussion  process. 
This  would  solve  the  world's  energy 
problem," he said. 

Nilsson  said,  however,  this  fusion 
process  involves  the use of temperatures 
of  1 00  million  degrees  or  hotter  than 
the  sun.  "It's  not  something  that  is

extracting  the  oil  yields  approximately 
40  gallons  of oil  per  ton  of shale.  "This

said,  "and the  consumer is  the one who

'CLARK FILM SERIES 

Those  familiar  with  Lord  Kenneth 
Clark's "Civilization" fIlm  series  will no 
doubt  be  interested  in  "Pioneers  of 
Modern Painting,"  written  and narrated 
as only Clark can. 

Tlie  pioneers  examined  in  the  six  -
part  series  are  Edouard  Manet,  Paul 
Cezanne, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, 
Henri  Rousseau  and  Edvard  Munch. 
Two  films  will  be  presented at each  of 
three  free  showings  sponsored  by  the 
MSU Friends of the Library. 

Detroit  Free  Press  Film  Critic  Susan 
Stark  said:  "To  judge  by  the  first 
program  on  Manet  and  Cezanne,  the 
series  is  every  bit  as  engaging,  not  to 
mention  instructive,  as  its  predecessor 
("Civilization").
