(Continued on page 2) Page 2, Feb. 22, 1973 I The Board recap I Trustees approve Board meetings rules l A "Rules of Procedure and Meetings Policies" was approved by the Board of Trustees at its February meeting Friday. According to President Wharton, the rules serve to clarify existing practices concerning public attendance of board meetings and outlines the four types of meetings held by the Board of Trustees - retreats, ,executive sessions, public briefing sessions, and public action sessions. Retreats and executive ~ons, including the .financial committee meetings, are outlined as "closed meetings. " Trustees Warren Huff and Frank Merriman opposed the policies. Huff said that those persons wishing to be heard by the Board should be able to come before the Board at the public action'sessions. Additionally, he said the items on the Board's agenda shOUld have more visibility so that those interested in specific matters are made aware that the Board will be discussing the matters. that Merriman opposed the policy because it was "restrictive. Other universities do not operate on tliis restrictive basis." The policies include: *While retreat discussions obviously may influence subsequent board trustees are aware of their actions, responsibility to conduct decision - making activity in, the full public spotlight of open meetings. *N 0 formal actions will be taken by the board at the public briefing sessions. It should be further understood that the willingness of the board to hear a discussion of a particular issue does not commit the board to subsequent formal action on that issue. *Public brief"mg sessions are intended the primary vehicle for regular a s interaction between the board and the University constituencies. Therefore, discussion at the public a<>tion sessions generally will be restri~ted to the trustees, officers of the University and such others as may be specifically invited by the president, as presiding , and administrative officer under the Bylaws, to present information. The approved policy sets executive sessions as meetings held for the purpose of discussing ;certain categories of business for which discussion in public session is incompatible with the best interests of the public and/or the University. "Any Board action required on such matters would by policy, continue to be taken in public session." *** In other board action, the trustees approved the visiting professorship, effective April I, of Akhter Hameed Khan, director of the Rural Economics Research Project at the Univeristy of Karachi in Pakistan.

Land use conflicts to be alred Michigan land use conflicts will be aired Wednesday morning, March 21, durmg the Farmers' Week (March 19 - 23) on campus. Launching the special session will be L.L. Roger, dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and a member of the Governor's Commission on Land Use. "Land use" was the matter of concern most often heard by Boger and his assistant . deans when they toured the state in a series of "Listening Post" meetings in Decem,ber. . Following Boger will be Senator William Ballenger, sponsor of Michigan Senate Bill 130 on Land Use, and Representative Phillip Mastin, sponsor of House Bill 9'256 on Land Use. After their presentations, they will field questions from the "audience .. . The land - use issue became particularly hot in late fall when open meetings Were held to discuss the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' recommendation that Detroit wastes could be handled by spraying them over large tracts of fann land in ~chigans-'s Thumb. Other city - rural conflicts have arisen with increased demand for recreation - snowmobilirig, hunting, etc. - in some of the less populated areas . of the state.' . Profs humanizing computers Computers often evoke the image of cold, impersonal machines which , . stUbbornly refJlse to record that you paid your bill and cont.inue to send overdue notices, but they don't have to' have that reputation on campus according to three facuIty memberS. J: Bruce Burke; director of the Humanties Teaching Institute, and Julia O'Neill and Kay Welsch, both i,nstroctors of education, have devised a model to humanize the computer when it is .used as a teaching tool. In a recent issue of Educational Technology, they say, "The most crucial element of computerizin~ individual instruction is the effort to prevent students from feeling machine - directed." . The key to the model is decision loops - options students have in choosing the direction of their studies •. '. .'. . . For example, if' a course is comp.osed of several or many small units or modules, the computer would ''know'' all the modules, the prerequisites, the., activities they includ.e, and. the test to determine if the module has been lear:Qed. . The computer also would have the records of each student. The student identifies his area of interest and the computer replies with a list Df the specific topics for which ,the student has completed the prerequisites. The student selects a module topic . and tells the computer of his choice. The computer resPonds by listing the objectives and conditions of achievement. . . . . . ' . ' . . ' . Now the student has three options: he may decide he is not interested or ready to pursue the module, he may decide to pursue some of the objectives or he may decide to pursue all the objectives. . The computer is only a portion of the model developed by the MSU educators. "It is do btful that many students will learn the connotative meaning of much of the material without extensive interaction with peers and instructors as well as practice," they say. . . Therefore, th'e plan includes a counselor - instructor who spends the majority of his time working with the students. On the other hand, a course instructor spends most of his time designing the programs to be used. Burke emphasizes that this model is not restricted to colleges and universities. Elementary and secondary schools often have access t-o computers which are being used by industry in the area. "We're. urging people to begin to use computers not omy for the dull, monotonous jobs, but as a manipUlative tool for getting human decision points into the system," Burke says.

Page'S; Feb. :22~ 1973 It is often hard to picture MSU's pedagogicaL wizards who hide behind desks and secretaries as anything but professors. But many have colorful alter egos, like the jazz musicians - turned - professors who call themselves "The Geriatric Six + One." (Two of the bandsmen, in their sixties, insist the group should be the "Geriatric Two + Five" since they are the only ones on Gentol.) The group includes some of the most popular and respected orofessors on campus: Owen Brainard, professor of art, on the drums; ·Maurice Crane, professor of humanities, clarinet; Bill Baunce, chairman of the sociology department, trumpet and piano; Wen Reed, professor of music; piano, trumpet and flugelhorn; Bennett T. "Sangy" Sandefur, professor of geology and assistant. dean of the Colle;;e of Natural Science, banjo and guitar; Bob Sidnell, associate professor of music, piano, trombone and bass; and Don Thornburg, Oldsmobile executive and graduate student in ecology, trombone and bass. from The group was born last year when someone the University' Club called Crane about entertainment for a Roaring '20s party. Crane said he would play if Reed would, Reed said he would play if Sandefur would, and the idea snowballed, so that now the Geriatrics play fairly regularly at the Club just because they're having too much fun to quit. "The University Club is like a USO for said. colonels on up," Crane "Anyone who can afford to belong to the Club grew up dancing to the tunes we play. These are the people who remember Louie Armstrong and Jack Teagarden. " tries The band to break down formality at the Club. "There's nobody in the Club who isn't a good friend to somebody in the band," one member observed. "When they see Owen Reed and Sandy Sandefur out there fooling around why should they be stuffed shirts?" The Geriatric Six + One always find receptive, crowds at its gigs. "It is very easy to play at a winetasting party because the critical aesthetic senses tend to be dimmed by the evening's activities," Crane explained. "That we play at all would be sufficient, that we play well is a bonus." Then, in a rare moment of modesty, he added "We play acceptable jazz." The fact is that the group is damn individual is an excellent good. Each musician who started playing as a child and had a dance band in the '30s and '40s. They played with bands for two main reasons: it was a lot of fun, even though it was hard work, and it was a good way to work your way through school: "Back in those days kids didn't have any money and they soon found out if they could play an instrument they could work their way through college," Sandefur said. "There was a formal dance every Saturday n.!ght, and there was quite a bit of competition between the bands ,-- it was a dog - eat - dog affair." "Most of us would have starved if we didn't play," Reed added. The more venerable members of the group remember the "meal jobs" which helped keep many bands together in the '30s and '40s. "An hour a day, playing for dinner in the student union, and: you'd get all you could eat. That was' our practice session; if you could get a meal job you could keep your band together. " Their hard work paid off in many . ·African scholar studies U programs One of Melak H. Mengesha's fondest is for a graduate program in wishes agriculture at his home university in Ethiopia. And he hopes that his year's stay at MSU will enable him to play a role in developing graduate offerings in agi-iCulture and other fields at Haile Selassie I University. He is at MSU until this summer to acquaint himself with some current findings in his academic speciality of genetics and plant breeding, but he is also taking a first-hand look at the organization of, graduate education at MSU and other universities. Mengesha was dean of agriculture at Haile Selassie I University before he left last ' fall on a year's sabbatical and research leave as a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow. The College of Agriculture of Haile Selassie I is located in Alernaya, some 350 miles away from the University's main campus in Addis Abba. Mengesha says that creation of a graduate agricultural program at Haile Selassie I would provide the university with the means to make a greater impact than it now does on Ethiopia's development. Much of the African nation's economy is agricultural, and its varied clima t e and topography support a number ·of animals and crops. Ethiopian students who remain in their homeland to do graduate work would be more likely to undertake research projects that have direct application to Ethiopian development, he says. But Mengesha adds: "Graduate scholars should be encouraged to travel the world and gain broad all over personal expereince in their choice of fields. One personal look at any development center is much more enriching than just reading a bout it." Mengesha is examing MSU's graduate program in general and the relationship of its agricultural graduate program with other campus units. He is particularly interested in the practice of joint faculty appointments at MSU. He says it "has much to be desired, especially in developing countries where shortages of qualified staff is constantly faced." He emphasizes that he is not interested simply in copying things he sees at MSU. "I want to be able to make recommendations based on my own study and reflections." He also points out that he is at MSU for his own research, not at the behest of any Ethiopian institution. He says that his activities, interests, professional observations and recommendations are to be unlimited. Mengesha's scientific interest centers on the study of teff, a small cereal grain that is a major crop of Ethiopia. It is remotely similar to wheat, but much smaller .. He is doing research with the help of Fred C. Elliott, professor of crop and soil sciences. He is also working with Irving Wyeth, director of the Institute of International Agriculture, and Ralph Smuckler, dean of International Programs and Studies. e ' r Mengesha's wife Astair G., is also at MSU, doing graduate work in rural sociology. She teaches soCiology at Haile Selassie I in Alernaya. Haile Selassie I University enrolls some 5,000 students on its five campuses, not including regular extension students. Its multicampus system is patterned somewhat after the University of California system. Mengesha's own campus of about 400 students operates much in the land grand tradition of MSU, he says, but its environment is much different. For one thing, the climate in Alernaya is almost spring-like the year around. Farmers' Week Farmers~ Week, largest agricultural - educational event in the nation, will. be held March 19-23 on campus. the Byron Good, MSU professor of animal husbandry and event chariman, says departmental programs will feature over 100 experts from universities, business and government, who will address today's problems and explore tomorrow's opportunities for farmers, agri-businessmen and rural people. Research projects and new methods will be discussed and displayed at the University Farms. Exhibits throughout the campus will span the interests of the entire farm family and city folks, too. - Drawing by Bob Brent .ways. "I think I knew most of the kids on campus," Sandefur said. "It was kind of the like being quarterback on football team." And ,during vacations, a few of the future Geriatrics and their bands would play on liners crossing the ocean, get a job in Europe or even in the Orient for the summer, and then play back in the fall. At a time when few students had been to Europe and most had scarcely heard of China, the successful jazz musician was definitely a B.M.O.C. The Geriatric Six are still big men on campus, but in a different way. They've diverted the energy and enthusiasm they used to pour into music to the world of ' 'academia. "We came back to the university not to make money but as a way of life," Sandefur explained. "It was a very difficult choice to say, 'Well, fellows, I'm going to put the instrument aside - I'm going to be a college professor.' "All the guys had made more money with their bands and could have had a . great life of it, but they thought the University life was more fulfilling, and one that their wives and families could enjoy more too." Hearing members of the group reminisce about taking the electric inter - urban car to see the big name bands play at the Lake Lansing dance pavilion, ' or about the men they played with and grew up listening to, seems esoteric to the uninitiated. Names like Hal McIntyre, Manny Klein, Woody Herman, Joe Venuti, Reds Rodney, Slad Trandell, Artie Shaw, Bill Harris, and Joey Bushkin evoke only occasional flashes of recognition now .. together But the Geriatric Six are anything but relics. When they play Dixieland jazz it's not so much to recapture the past as to spread some fun around} now. Far from being only exciting memories,' their musical backgrounds provide an extra dimension to their professional roles. . Besides it makes you wonder how many other Walter Mittys wandering around campus actually were hydroplane pilots, eminent surgeons, or crack shots at 300 yards with a Wembley - Vickers 50. 80. -JOHN McKAY EDITOR'S NOTE: The writer is an MSU alumnus now attending law school at the University of Michigan.
