According  to the Chronicle of Higher

Vandel  C.  Johnson,  chairman  of

expect  significant  financial  implications 
for  his  department since  the curriculum

Council 
j approves 
new group 

An  advisory  Group 

for  General 
Education  was approved Monday by the 
Academic Council. 

The  advisory  group  was  proposed by 
the  Educational  Policies  Committee 
(EPC)  and  the  University  Curriculum 
Committee (UCC). 

The proposal is the result of action in 
March  1972  by '  the  council  for  the 
establishment  of a "council to monitor" 
general  education  by  the  EPC  and  the 
Office  of  the  Assistant  Provost  for 
Undergraduate Education. 

The approved  proposal establishes an 
advisory  group  of  nine  members  with 
the  chairman  and  one  other  member 
being  voting  members  of  EPC  and  two 
being voting members of UCC. 

According  to  the  recommendation, 
members  of 
the  group  would  be 
appointed  by  the  chairman  of  EPC  in 
cooperation  with  the  provost  except 
that the members  from  the  UCC  would 
be  appointed  by  the  chairman  of UCC. 
The  external  members  should  be 
knowledgeable and interested in the non 
- In:ofessional  aspects  of  undergraduate 
education.  The  advisory  group  will 
include  at 
two  students.  The 
least 
recommendation also inc;ludes: 

*  The  advisory  group  could  be 
.  dissolved  by  joint  agreement  of  the 
: chairman  of  EPC  and  the  provost.  The 
reason  for  such  dissolution  shall  be 
reported to the Academic Council. 

-

* An evaluation  of the group's  work 
will  be  conducted  by EPC  at the end of 
each three year period .. 

*  The  assistant  provost 

for 
undergraduate 
education  should  be 
assigned  to  sit  (ex officio  without vote) 
~ith the advisory group. 

*  The  advisory  group  should  report 
directly  to  the  EPC  so  that  a  regular 
representative  elected  committee  with 
the powers of review and approval could 
place  proposals  in  the  mainstream  of 
academic governance. 

*  The  advisory  group 

should 
establish  a  liaison  relationship  with the 
UCC  and- should  be  available  to  the 
committee 
in  an  advisory  role  on 
questions of general education. 

The  proposal  maintains  the  control 
of  the  EPC  over  University  educational 
policy.  Additionally,  it  eliminates  the 
need  for  another  standing  council  to 
deal  exclusively  with  an  educational 
po~cies issue  such  as  general e,ducation. 
* * * 
In  other  council  action, 
a 
recom~endation was  passed  approving 
the faculty grievance  officer  (FGO) as a 
non - voting member of the council. The 
approval gives  the  FGO  the same  status 
in the council as the ombudsman.

animals. 

Tolbert  hopes  to  prove  or  disprove 

the existence of the similarity. 

Overall,  the plan on board the Alpha 
- Helix  will  be  to  measure  levels  of 
various  substances  of  photosynthesis, 
respiration  and  photorespiration.  From 
they  hope, 
this  will  come, 
understandings  of  the  relationships  of 
the processes. 

The  role  of  peroxisomes  in  animals 
may  be  as  important  as  the  role  in 
plants.  For  example,  if  peroxisomes  in 
an  animal  were  "turned up"  more  than 
usual,  then the animal  would burn food 
more  readily  and  gain  little,  if  any 
weight.  Control  of 
this  kind  of 
respiration  could  put  Weight  Watchers 
out of business. 

Besides  contributing 

limestone, 
islands  and  reefs,  besides giving  clues to 
food  productivity  and  plant  - animal 
relationships,  the  coral  also  seem  to be 
the calendars of the sea: 

J.W.  Wens  of  Cornell  University  has 
discovered  that some  corals  show bands 
which  correspond  to  periods  of growth, 
somewhat  as  trees  have  rings.  Ancient 
corals  have  shown  400  bands  per  year. 
corresponding to shorter  days and more 
days  per  year  during  the  Devoniam 
period  of  the  Paleozoic  era,  when  the 
first fishes swam. 

But  it's  the  biochemistry  of  what's 
happening on the 1,200 mile -long coral 
reef  which  Tolbert  and  his  colleagues 
now hope to  document.  They plan to

fiscal  year  would  reduce  funds  for 
university  language  training  and  areas

Courses  extended 

Pre  - registration  response  of  students  now  on 
campus  to the  University  College  announcement  of 
additional  evening  courses, for  credit  in  spring  has 
resulted in plans to further extend the offerings. 

Dean  Edward  A.  CArlin  said  more  classroom 
spaee  will  be  acquired  and  possibly  new  sections 
opened  up, 'to  allow  all applicants  to take  the  two 
courses  which  will  be  "available  over  a  four  hour 
stretch every Tuesday and Thursday night. 

Pre  - registration  interest  already  has  exceeded 
the  anticipated  enrollment  in  Social  Science  212, 
from  6  to  8  p.m:,- and Humanities 203  from  8 to 10 
p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday nights. 

"We  know  that  at  the  regular  enrollment  for 
sprjng  term  we  will  have  many  more  applicants," 
Carlin  said.  "The  lifelong  education  interests  of 
commuters in  a  75  - mile  radius of the campus, and 
of  persons  with  daytime  jobs  in  the  Lansing  area, 
wilL ,continue,  besides  the  demands  of on - campus 
' students  for  more  evening  study  opportunities.  We 
will 'make room for  as  many as  want to  come." 

The  switch  from  a  single  evening  course  from  7 
to  9  p.m.',  to  two  courses  from  6  to  10  p.m.,  is 
expected  to  extend  to  more  University  College 
courses in coming terms. 

Link found  to  cancer 

The  Herpes  family of viruses; a member of which 
causes  cold  sores  (Herpes  simplex)  and  another, 
shingles  (Herpes  zoster),  will be shown to  play some 
role  in  human cancer,  a  noted  researcher  predicted 
last week on campus. 

Fred  Rapp,  chairman  of  microbiology  at  the 
Hershey  Medical  Center  of  Pennsylvania  State 
University, spoke as part of the "Visiting Scholars in 
Medicine"  series  sponsored  by 
the  College  of 
Osteopathic Medicine. 

Rapp  pointed  out  that  viruses  are  definitely 
known  to  cause  various  forms  of  cancer in several 
animal  species,  but there is  not yet any  fmal  proof 
that they cause human forms of cancer. 

He  pointed  out  that  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Agriculture  researchers at MSU have shown that one 
king  of  Herpes  virus  causes  Marek's  disease  (a 
leukemia  - like  disease  of  turkeys)  and  have  used 
another  kind  of  Herpes  virus 
a 
to  make 
commercially successful vaccine for that disease. 

Still  another  form  of  Herpes  virus,  he  added,  is 
associated with cervical cancer in women. This virus, 
Herpes  simples  virus  type  II,  is  transmitted  by 
sexual  intercourse  and  may  be  the  most  common 
venereal disease virus. 

Star to  give lecture 

Television  personality  Flip  Wilson  will deliver 
the fourth armual Martin Luther King Jr.  LectUre on 
Social  Change  on  March  30,  according to Robert L. 
Green,  director of the Center for Urban Affairs. 

Sharing  the  speaker's  platform  with  Wilson  will 
be  Coretta  King,  Dr.  King's  widow;  and  The  Rev. 
Andrew  J.  Yo_ung,  Democratic  U.S.  representative 
from  Georgia  and  former  executive 'directoT of the 
Southern Christian"Lead~rship Conference. 

The  lecture  commemorates  the  death  of  King 
who  was  killed by a sniper in Memphis, Tenn., April 
4,  1968. 

The lecture is jointly sponsored by the Center for 
Urban  Affairs, 
the  new  College  of  Urban 
Development  and  other  University  departments.  In 
addition  to  being  director  of the  center and acting 
dean  of the  new  college, Green is a member of both 
the  board  of directors  and  the  board of trustees  of 
the  Martin  Luther  King;  Jr.,  Center  for  Social 
Change in Atlanta, Ga. 

The  program  will  begin  at  1: 30  p.m.  in  the 
University  Auditorium.  If is open to the public, free 
of charge. 

Challenges  cited 

Two  challenges 

face  private  foundations  in 
Michigan  and " the  U.S.,  according  to  President 
Clifton  R.  Wharton,  JI.  They  are  pressures  caused 
by  the  reduction in  federal  funds  and  the  view  the 
public holds of foundations.

Foundations  Tuesday in  Arm  Arbor, Wharton said,

aid,  and  welfare  are  being  drastically  cut,  as  are 
experimental  programs  for  the  poor,  grants  to 
colleges  and  universities  and  support  for  cultural 
institutions. " 

As  federal  funds  disappear, the search for money 
will  turn  to  private philanthropic organizations,  he 
predicted. 

The  survival  of private foundations  also  depends 

on how they are viewed by the public. 

"Unless  foundations  are  successful in  countering 
and  reversing  the  erosion of public  confidence,  the 
future  may  witness  the  ultimate  demise  of  these 
great and useful social institutions," he added. 

issues 

Wharton  said  he spoke  for the  consumer, listing 
three 
foundations:  visibility  and 
accessibility;  flexibility,  continuity  and  selectivity; 
and professionalism and grantsmanship.

foundations,  particularly  medium  and small groups, 
to  remedy  their  philanthropic  "isolationism,"  and 
provide  potential  customers  with  information  on 
their terms of reference.

Wharton  noted that foundation funds are usually 

more flexible than traditional sources of funding. 

"A professor  may  find that the critical margin of 
success  in  scholarly  or creative venture is  a  modest 
grant  of private  funds  for  a  purpose not recognized 
or included in his department's budget," he said. 

Wharton  noted  the  importance of continuity of 
funds,  particularly  where  innovation  is  important. 
He  explained,  ~'Most  true  irmovation  entails 
risk  and  uncertainty,  and  private 
considerable 
fUnding  is  uniquely  equipped  to  provide continuing 
support  while  an  idea  is  being  t horoughly  tested." 
Wharton  pointed  out  that  most  philanthropic 
institutions  have  areas  of  primary  or  specialized 
interest,  and  selective focus  allows  a  foundation  to 
choose  a  target  program  and  achieve  a  greater 
competency in  that chosen  area.  More importantly, 
this  approach  allows  focus  on  an  area  neglected  by 
other  foundations,  where  a  high  quality  program 
can have tremendous impact.

in providing answers.

said. 
"C/AHED  is  looking  for  'meaningful' 
options  outside  the  University.  The 
program's  purpose  is 
to  add  to  the 
student's lifelong opportunities." 

According to Ward,  the opportunities 
are  in  the  areas  ' of  voluntary  social 
services,.  educational  alternatives  and 
travel and part-time employment. 

"This  could  include  options  ranging 
from  working  on  a  farm  in  Norway to 
the  American 
volunteer  work  with 
Indians  to  working  on  a  scientific  team 
searching for  the sunken 'Santa Maria'," 
he  said.  "And  it  is  possible  for  many 
students to receive  University  credit for 
their experiences." 

Ward  said  a  need  for  an  alternatives 
program  was  established  on  campus 
during 
the  past  year  by  assessing 
qU,estionnaires of McDonel Hall students 
and  polling  the  counseling  center staff. 
Once  the  need  'was  established  for 
such  a  center,  more  than  1,000  letters 
were  sent  to organizations  world  - wide 
to  determine  what  options these groups 
have available to students. These groups, 
according  to  Ward,  included  the  Peace 
Corps and VISTA, church organizations, 
free  schools  and  work/ travel  programs. 
With  the  needs  established  and  the 
alternatives  available,  the next  task  was 
to  bring  students  and  pos~bilities 
together. 

The  Center  was  established  in  the 
facilities  of  the  United  Ministries  in 
Higher  Education  at  1118  S.  Harrison, 
just  west  of  campus.  Additionally, 
satellite  centers  were  established 
in 
Justin  Morrill  College,  University 
College,  the Counseling Center, Fee Hall 

Counseling  and  Gluwth '  Center  and 
McDonel Hall. 

In  addition  to  a  staff  of  trained 
counselors,  the  center  and  its  satellites

contain 
brochures  on  world-wide  alternatives  to 
being a student. 

Ward  said  that  the center subscribes 
to more than SO  publications and has on 
file  approximately  40,000  different 
opportunities. 

"The  counselors  are  volunteers,  and 
University  work/  study  personnel  have 
attended  intensive  training  workshops 
dealing

in

"This  type  of  counseling  helps  a 
person  determine  anSwers

questions  as  'who  am  I and  where  am  I 
going'." 

the  counselors  and 

According to Ward,  students are sent 
to 
the  center 
through various referral methods such as 
the  Counseling  Center,  and 
departmental and academic advisors. 

"The students are  asked  to complete 
an  information  file  in  the  Counseling 
Center.  This  helps  us  establish  a  basis 
for human contact," he said. 

In addition  to providing assistance to 
students  seeking  alternatives  to  higher 
education, 
the  center  helps  plan 
in  Such  areas  as  overseas

communication. 

"We also  are  working  on  a  file  on all 
students  who  go  into  world  - wide 
programs  to  serve  as a personal resource

Ward  said  that  the  center,  which  is

"No  student  takes  Jack  Allen.  He 
takes  no  isolated  personalities.  Each

Letters to the Editor 

Orchestra  deserves praise 

To the Editor: 

I  appreciate  the  fact  that  the  MSU  News  - Bulletin  does  help  to inform the 
faculty  and  staff  about  various  concerts  and  other  cultural  activities  on  the 
campus.  Surely  the  concert  this  past  Sunday  by  the  Michigan  State  University 
Symphony Orchestra,  with its distingUished gUest conductor from  Czechoslovakia, 
Bystrik  Rezucha,  and  its  fine  young violin  soloist  from  Germany,  Rolf  Schulte, 
was  a  great  credit  to this institution.  In my  twenty years  as  a  faculty member at 
Michigan  State,  and as  one  who  attends  many,  many  University musical events, I 
must rate  this as one of the finest student orchestra concerts I have attended here. 
In fact, I find it difficult to remember a better one. (As a musician by training and 
profession, I  am not an easy person to please.) 

It is  the  orchestra,  the  conductor,  the  soloist,  and  certainly  the  instrumental 
staff  of  the  Department  of  Music  who  should  be  congratulated . . Unfortunately, 
too  often the teaching staff does not receive proper recognition for the excellence 
of various musical activities on this campus. 

As  always,  the  orchestra was playing on a crowded stage in Fairchild Theater. I 
was  reminded  once  again  of  the  real  need  in  this  institution  for  first  - class 
performing  arts  facilities.  The  University  concerts,  theater  events,  etc,  are  all 
deserving  of  better auditoriums,  as  are  the special  presentations  of the  Lecture -
Concert  Series.  And,  when  one hears that "concerts are dead," the near - capacity 
crowd in  the Auditorium  this  past  Friday evening for an all- Mozart program, by 
the Mozarteum  Orchestra  of Salzburg,  should  put  such nonsensical beliefs to rest 
for  a  while.  In addition,  the  several  sold - out houses for the University Chamber 
Music  Series  should provide further proof that this campus wants and will support 
the  best,  It is gratifying  to  note that students make up a large and significant part 
of these audiences for the various musical events. 

The MSU News - Bulletin has played an important part in bringing such musical 
performances and other cultural offerings to the attention of the faculty and staff. 
I hope that it will continue to do so.

'Who s been snubbed ?' 

To the Editor: 

HaVing  read Alison  McMau.gh's letter to the editor in your paper for March I, it 
amused me  to  open  the Kresge  Art Center Bulletin  for  March  and cpunt,  among 
the artists invited fOI  the "Eight ,Michigan Artists Exhibition" two blacks and four  . 
women artists.  This  exhibition,  which opened in the gallery March 4, was actually 
selected in May  1972. So much for discriminatiQn. 

As  for Mrs.  Adley's specific compla.ints,  here are the facts. An inquiry is sent to 
the staff as  to  whether  they  will or  will not be represented in the faculty exhibit. 
Mr.  Weil  did  not respond and  Mr.  Adley  did  not inform  me  that  his wife,  Alison 
McMaugh,  wished  to  exhib,it.  For those  who  had responded affirmatively, a  date 
was  set  for a  photographer  to  be in  the building in order  to obtain  photographs 
for  the  Bunetin.  One  woman  artist  withdrew  from  the  exhibition  for  personal 
reasons ; the second  woman artist  did not  appear  for  the  photographer;  the  third 
woman  artist,  Mrs.  Adley,  had  given  no  notice  of  her  intention.  Obviously  the 
black  artist  and  women  artists  did  not appear in the Bulletin  which Mrs:  Adley 
referred to as " the brochure." 

Publicity is  released  by  Information  Services.  It  was  during  the  week  of the 
hanging of the  show  that I  was informed  that Mrs.  Adley  would enter a painting 
and  that  Mr.  Weil  would  have  a  separate  exhibition  in  the  sculpture  studio. 
Publicity had already gone out. 

There  is  no  critic  who  attends  the  opening.  What  a  young  " critic" from  the 
State  News may do later is  beyond my control It is not my habit to inform critics 
as to whom they should review and what they should say. 

Sorry about  all  this,  but the presses will not stop while a woman makes up her 
mind,  no matter how advanced,  nor  will  they roll  faster after she has made it up.

Gallery Director 

AAUP to  remain  active 

To the Editor: 

We  note  the  recent  decision  of  the  Committee  ·of  Concerned  Faculty  to 
disband,  and  their  hopeful  view'  of  faculty  involvement  in  governance  and 
budgetary  decisions.  The  American  Association  of  University  Professors  shares 
these  concerns,  but  we  are  convinced that further improvement in  the faculty's 
position  remains  to  be  won.  Iildeed,  there is  a risk that  mounting inflation and 
legislative pressures can undo the limited gains already made. 

Concerted  faculty  action  over  a  sustained  period is essential  for defending 
and  improving  the  faculty's  position  in  the  face  of circumstances  such  as  the 
following: 

"'The  growth in size  and cost of bureaucratic structures  within  the  University 
which  have little or no relevance  to the essential  teaching and research functionS 
of the University. 

·The national erosion in the teal incomes of faculty members. 
"'The  trend  toward centralization  of resource  allocation and decision - making ·. 

with little meaningful participation by the faculty. 

"'Lingering  and  significant  imbalances  in  salary  levels  between  and  among 

individuals of comparable experience, departments, and colleges. 

The  Committee  of Concerned  Faculty may  feel that its job is finished, but the 
AAUP  intends  to  remain  alert and active  in  the  drive  for  solutions  to these  and 
other problems.  A  strong and united faculty  organization is  the  only  way out of 
the hat - in - hand situation in which we  so often find ourselves. 

Sincerely, 
James R.  Anderson

G: ROBERT VINCENT 

The  faces of history  are 
put  awa'y, voices  refllain 

A  lot  of  nostalgia  came  down  from 
the  walls  of G.  Robert  Vincent's  office 
in the Library Monday. 

Aut ographed  photos 

'of  Bishop 
Sheen,  Duke  Ellington,  Admiral  Byrd 
and:iW.  Somerset  Maugham were  packed 
away. 

Photographer  DickWesley \Vas  trying 

to get Vincent, to smile. "." 

" You're ,staring;  sir.'  Look  over  my 

shoulder and say '\Wiskey'." ,  , 

" I'm staring  at a gUy  named Franklin 
Roosevelt, "  Vince,ilt  said . • " That's  his 
girl  friend  Eleanor  right above  him 
one of them anyway. You know, I was a 
at 
weekend  gUest 
in 
. 
Washington once." 
Throughout  the  afternoon,  Madame 
Chaing  Kai  - Shek,  Otis  Skinner,  Alger 
Hiss  ("He's  the  gUy  who  made  Dick 
Nixon  President,  you  know"),  Arturo 
Toscanini,  and 
Irving  Berlin  were 
packed away. 

their  place 

Vincent  is  "retiring"  as  curator  of 
the  National  Voice  librarY  next week. 
Actually,  retirement officially came two 
years  ago,  but  he's  stayed  on  for  two 
consecutive one - year appointments. 

The  collection  of  more  than 30,000 
voices  and 
recordings  of  historical 
events have  taken  a  lifetime to compile. 
The  earliest  important  recording  of his 
own  was  of  Theodore  Roosevelt  in 
1912. 

The  pictures  on  the  wall  represent 
some  of  the  people  he's  known  and 
recorded  over  the  years  - Henry  A. 
Wallace,  Robert  Taft,  Fredric  March 
(" Freddie  gets  ma:1der ' than  hell  if you 
put that second 'e' in his name" ); 

The  National  Voice  Library  was 
created  eleven  years  ago  when  Vincent 
offered  his  Unique 
collection  of 
recordings to the University. 

He  was  living  in  California  at  the 
time,  doing motion picture sound work. 
Richard  Chapin,  Director  of  Libraries, 
invited  him  to , campus  to  discuss  the 
possibility  of  creating 
the  National 
Voice  Library,  but  he  wasn't  specific 
about the travel arrangements. 

Not  sure  whether the  trip  was  going 
to  be  at  his  own  expense,  Vincent  put 
on  the  Army  uniform  he  wore  !luring 
World  War  II when he  headed  the  "V -
Disc"  program  that  sent  millions  of 
records  to servicemen overseas.  He went 
to  Los  Alamedas  Naval  Air  Station and 
wrangled  a  hop  to  Grosse  fie .  In  East 
Lansing,  his  meeting  with  Chapin led to 
the  establishment  of  the  only  sound 
library  ,of  its  kind  in  the  country,  the 
travel  arrangements  were  cleared  up, 
and  he 
to  California 
commercial, " like a gentleman. " 

flew  back 

As  the  pictures  were  about  to  come 
off  the  wall  Monday,  Vincent  pointed 

to  eight  stern  looking,  uniformed  men 
~wearing earphones  and sitting around a 
large  table,  and  recalled  that  he  had 
been  the  chief  sound  engineer  for  the 
Nurenberg War Crimes Trials. 

Carlos  Romulo  came  down, 

the 
~ppine hero  who  spoke  the  fll'st 
official  words  at  the  San  Francisco 
Conference  in  1945  that  marked  the 
beginning  of 
the  United  Nations. 
Vincent  was  also  in charge  of the sound 
and recording equipment at that historic 
event. 

Deems  Taylor,  Trygve  Lie  and 
Andrei  Gromyko  came  down  from  the 
wall.  So  did  Charles  Edison.  Vincent 
worked  for Edison's father,  the inventor 
of  sound  reproduction  equipment;  in 
the  early  1920's,  and  much  of  his 
collection  was  acquired  when  the  elder 
Edison  disestablished  his  sound studios 
because  he  believed radio had  made the 
recording industry obsolete. 

Some  of  the  pictures  were  taken  in 
his  penthouse  studio  in  Radio  City  in 
New  York,  where  he  spent  48  hours 
recording  radio  reports  of Pearl  Harbor 
and  the  U.S.  entry  into  World  War  II, 
and  where  a  band leader named  Benny 
Goodman  used  to  practice  his  clarinet. 
Jan  Christian  Smutz  came  down.  He 
was  the  South African general who gave 
the  British  such  a  bad  time in the 'Boer 
War. 

There  were  photographs  of  press 
clippings  -
a  New  Yorker  profile,  a 
Time  magazine  piece,  a  "My  Day" 
column  by  Mrs.  Roosevelt - attesting to 
Vincent's  own  place  in  history.  He 
recalled a  visit by Charles Kuralt of CBS 
and  his  ' ~ On the  Road"  crew  about  a 
year ago. 

Vincent  isn't  happy  about  leaving. 
He  says  the  National  Voice  Library  has 
not  become  the  "Mecca  for  the spoken 
word"  he  dreamed it would.  Things got 
in  the  way.  Perhaps  more  time,  more 
money... 

. 

Richard Chapin  says the voice library 
will  remain  an  active,  growing concern, 
however.  He  is  high  on it  as  a  research 
tool,  particularly  in  the  area  of  oral 
history. 

" In  future  years  when  people  are 
doing  research  on  someone  like  Martin 
Luther  King,"  Chapin said, "listening to 
him  say  'I  have  a  dream'  will  mean 
much more than reading the speech." 

Because of the collection Vincent has 
,put  together,  the  researcher  will  also 
hear  President  Roosevelt  talking  about 
"fear 
itself,"  Winston  Churchill 
describing  "Their  finest  hour,"  and 
Harry  Lander  singing  " Wee  Deoch  an' 
Doris"  on  one  of  his  many  farewell 
tours of the U.S.
