Vol. 4, No. 22 

Michigan State University 

March 29, 1973 

Framework approved for  Urban  College 

"A unique  aspect  of the new College 
of  Urban  Development,"  according  to 
Robert  L.  Green,  acting  dean  of  the 
college,  "will  be  its  interdisciplinary 
approach."  -

"There  are  nine  other  colleges  that 
will interface  with urban development ," 
he said. 

The  framework  of  the  new  college 
was  officially  created  March  16  by the 
the 
MSU  Board  of  Trustees  with 
establishment  of 
academic 
depa'rtments  and 
the  naming  of  an 
acting department chairman. 

two 

The  Board  approved  the  creation  of 
the  Department  of  Urban  and 
Metropolitan  Studies  and 
the 
Department  of  Racial  and  Ethnic 
Studies,  retroactive  to  March  1.  The 
jointly 
latter  department  will  be 
administered  by  the  College  of  Social 
Science. 

In  addition, 

the  . trustees  named 
Wilbur  B.  Brookover  acting  chairman 
and  professor  of  the  Department  of 
Urban  and  Metropolitan  Studies,  also 
effective  March  1.  An  acting  chairman 
for  the Department of Racial and Ethnic 
Studies  is yet to be named. 

. 

The  new college was approved by the 
Board  last  May  and the first  courses in 
- the  college  are  expected  to  be  offered 

this fall. 

Green  said  that  three  college  - wide 
to  the 
courses  have  been  proposed 
University  Curriculum  Committee,  as 
have  15  departmental  courses. These  15 
include two in the Department of Racial 
and  Ethnic  Studies  and '  13 
in  the 
Department  of Urban and  Metropolitan 
. 
Studies. 

is  accepted, 

"Each student will be required, if the 
take  one 
proposal 
cognate  outside 
the  college.  These 
cognates  are  now  being  finalized  with 
the  various  departments  on  campus," 
Green said. 

to 

According  to  Green,  to  insure  that 
none  of  the  new  courses  overlap  or 
duplicate  any  existing  courses,  colleges 
with  similar  courses  must  "sign .off' -

affrrming  that  there  is  no  duplication. 
"This  is  taking  place  primarily  with 
lames Madison,  education,  and arts and 
letters." 

Because  the sign - offs are proceeding 
with no  delay,  Green said  this is a good 
indication  there  is  no  overlap  ~ 'to  any 
significant  degree  to other urban related 
courses." 

He  said  he  expects  between  200  and 
300  undergraduate  students 
to  be 
admitted  as  majors during the first year. 
CourSes  will  also  be  open  to  students 
in Qther colleges  at MSU.  At this time, the 
college  will offer only an undergraduate 
program. 

According 

to  Green, 

student 
applications  for  the  new  college  will be 
the  second 
formally  accepted  after 
acting  department  chairman is named at 
the  next  Board  meeting  and  the faculty 
is appointed. 

The  bulk  of  appointment,  Green 
said,  will  be  persons  already  with  the 
Center for Urban Affairs.  "A few will be 
from  other  colleges  on  campus  and 
there are a few new hires," he said. 

"For the first year of operation there 
will  be  12  or  13 faculty members in the 
Department  of Urban and  Metropolitan 
Studies  and  six  or  seven 
the 
Department  of  Racial  and  Ethnic 
Studies." He  added that the faculty may 
be expanded in the second year. 

in 

"By  the  end  of spring  term  all  the 
courses and the faculty  will  be ready to 
go," Green said. 

The  Department  of  Urban  and 
Metropolitan  Studies,  which  Brookover 
will  chair,  will  focus  on the factors that 
have  created  the  present  conditions  in 
urban areas. 

Brookover  has  been  the  associate 
director of the  Center for Urban Affairs 
since  1969.  He  will  continue  to  be 
professor of education and sociology.

Commission reaffirms  importance  of tenure 

to 

Tenure  is  indispensable  to  academic 
freedom  and  educational  excellence 
a  national  stud~ 
according 
the 
commission  sponsored  by 
Association  of  American  Colleges  and 
the  American  Association  of University 
Professors. 

long  project  was  supported  by ~ 

The  Commission  on  Academic 
Tenure in Higher Education, whose year 
-
$125,000  grant 
from  The  Ford 
Foundation,  said,  "The  commission 
affirms  its  conviction  that  academic 
tenure, rightly  understood  and properly 
administered,  provides  the  most reliable 
means  of  assuring  faculty  quality  and 
educational  excellence,  as  well  as  the 
best guarantee of academic freedom. 

"So  central  is  academic  freedom  to 
the 
integrity  of  our  educational 
institutions  - and  to their effectiveness 
in  the  discovery  of  new  knowledge,  in 
conservation  of  the  values  and  wisdom 
of  the  past,  and  in  the  promotion  of 
critical inquiry essential to self - renewal 
that  academic  tenure  should  be 
retained  as  our most  tested  and  reliable 
instrument  for  incorporating  academic 
the  heart  of  our 
freedom 
institutions. " 

into 

The  commission  reported  that  none 
of  the  alternatives  proposed  for  tenure 
can  be  relied  upon  to  protect  academic 
freedom  or  eliminate  the  deficiencies 
now  identified in the concept of tenure. 
It especially  singled  out the substituting 
of  term  contracts  for  tenure  as  not 
solving  current  deficiencies  and 
serious 
presenting  new  and  more 
problems. 

The  co  chairmen  of  the  eleven  -
member  commission  were  Professor 

William  R.  Keast,  formerly  president  of 
Wayne  State  University  and  currently 
chairman  of  the  department  of English 
and  director  of  the  Center  for  Higher 
Education  at  the  University  of Texas at 
Austin,  and John W.  Macy, Jr., formerly 
chairman  of  the  U.  S.  Civil  Service 
Commission and until recently president 
for  Public 
of 
Broadcasting. 

the  Corporation 

Commenting  on  the  Commission's 

findings, Professor Keast said: 

~ 

"In the judgment of this comlnission, 
that  have  brought 
the  weaknesses 
academic  tenure  under needed  scrutiny 
are  not  imperfections  in  the  concept 
itself  but  serious  deficiencies  in  its 
application  and  administration 
deficiencies  resulting  in  large' measure 
from  fundamental  changes  in  American 
education  during  the  last  two  decades. 
These  deficiencies,  we  are  convinced, 
in 
are 
institutional  policy  and  practice  and 
professional  standards  and  priorities." 

remediable,  by 

reform 

Referring  to  the  Commission's  47 
recommendations  for  the  reform  and 
improvement  of  tenure,  Keast  said: 
"The  fundamental  task  of  improving 
tenure'  must  be  carried  out  within 
individual institutions, and, basically, by 
faculties  themselves,  in  a  new  effort  to 
express  the  real  purpose  of  tenure:  to 
create  the  most  favorable  institutional 
setting  for  professional  teaching  and 
scholarship, 
freedom  and 
in 
responsibility." 

Walter  Adams,  MSU  distinguished 
professor of economics and president of 
the  national  AAUP,  said "The academic 
profession  owes  a  debt  of  gratitude  to 

its 

for 

the  Commission 
reasoned 
reaffIrmation  of the  principle  of tenure 
in  American  higher  education.  We 
welcome  the  Commission's independent 
finding  that  academic  tenure  provides 
the  most  reliable  means  of  assuring 
faculty  quality  and  educational 
excellence. " 

A 

survey  sponsored  by 
the 
Commission  revealed  that  tenure  plans 
are  in  effect  in  all  public  and  private 
universities  and  public 
in  94  percent  of  private 
colleges; 
colleges and in more than two - thirds of 
the  nation's  two  - year  colleges,  both 
public and private. 

four  - year_ 

The  Commission  found  also  that  the 
proportion  of  tenured  faculty  in  1972 
(almost  50  percent)  was  approximately 
equal to the proportion in the 1960's. It 
noted,  however,  that  prospects  for  the 
future are quite different. 

"The  relative  youth of most  present 
faculties  means  that  retirements  will 
occur at a  slower  rate  and  fewer  tenure 
positions  will  open  up.  Budgets  are 
expected 
tight;  and 
they  will 
enrollments 
continue  to  grow  -- will  grow  at  a 
sharply reduced rate." 

remain 
although 

to 

Among the recommendations offered 

by the Commission are these: 

*  Students and non - tenured faculty 
should  participate  in  a  serious  and 
significant  way 
in  developing  and 
reviewing  instututional  tenure  policies. 

* 

Institutions 

should  develop 
methods  of  evaluating 
teaching 
effectiveness of both their non - tenured 
and  tenured  faculty,  and proc:edures for 

reflecting  these  evaluations  in pertinent 
personnel actions. 

*Institutions  should  develop  better 
means  of  assisting  faculty  members, 
especially  younger  ones,  to  improve 
their 
scholarship,  and 
teaching, 
professional performance. 

*Seven  years  should  be retained  as, 
a  maximum  period  of  probationary 
service  for  nontenured  faculty.  The 
commission  also 
that 
institutions,  as  a  matter  of  policy,  not 
use  probationary  periods  of  less  than 
five years  before tenure  ~ons_~_made. 

recommended 

* 

Institutions  should  develop 
attractive  options  for  early  retirement 
or reduced  service that will enable those 
who  wish  to  do  so  to  leave  tenured 
positions before the mandatory age. 

*  Collective  bargaining  in  colleges 
and  universities  should  not  extend  to 
academic freedom and tenure.

Council agenda  set 

The  second  part  of  a  report  on  the  procedures 
for  selection of the University's principal academic 
officers  and  administrators  will  be  presented  to 
members  of  the  Academic  Council  at  3  p.m., 
Tuesday,  April  3,  in  the  Con  Con  Room  of  the 
International Center. 

John  F.  A.  Taylor,  professor  of philosophy  and 

chairman  of  the  ad  hoc  committee  charged  to 
recommend the procedures, will  present the report. The 
first  part,  dealing  with  the  selection  process  for 
president  of  the  University,  was  approved  by  the 
council in February,  1969. 

The  report  lists  the  principal  academic  officers 
those  whose  decisions 
and  administrators  as 
"significantly  affect  the  academic  program  of the 
University." 

Special  committees advisory  to the  president are 
recommended in the report with composition drawn 
from various segments of the University. 

FGO approved

Council.

Previously,  the  appeals  panel  consisted  of three 
tenured  faculty  selected  by  the  University  Tenure 
Committee  from  its  membership  and  two  non  -
tenured  members  selected  randomly  by  the  FGO 
from  the  eight  non  - tenured  members  of  the 
University Appeals Board. 

The  change  allows that three faculty members be 
selected  from  the tenure committee and two faculty 
members  selected  at  random  from  the  University 
Appeals Board, regardless of tenure status. However, 
the  resulting  appeals  board  shall  consist  of  three 
tenured and two non - tenured faculty  members. 

The  Senate  also  approved  changes in  the  Bylaws 
allowing  the  inclusion  of librarians in  the  academic 
governance  system,  creating  an  Elected  Student

Two  men  have  been  appointed  to  key  posts  in 
the  University's  Cooperative  Extension  Service  to 
direct  programs  aimed  at  Spanish  -

Americans and the Chicano community. 

Juan  Marinez has been named program leader for 
a  special programs division of the Extension Service, 
and  John  F.  Lopez  has been named  extension  4-H 
youth assistant. 

Marinez,  who  received  his  B.A.  in  social  work 
from  MSU  in  December,  1972, will  help  extension 
staff across the state to tailor education programs to 
the  needs  of  Chicanos  and  other  minority 
communities. 

Lopez, a graduate of MSU in criminal justice, will 
assist  the  state  4-H  program  staff  in  developing 
programs  for  Michigan's  20,000  volunteer  leaders 
and  118,000 4-H members. 

Grads hear Hanks 

Americans  have done well in pursuing their rights 
to  life  and  liberty,  but  "very  poorly"  in  their 
pursuit  of  happiness  - even  though  the latter was 
"given equal billing by our founding fathers." 

That  was 

the  contention  of  Nancy  Hanks, 
chairman  of the  National  Endowment for  the  Arts, 
who  addressed  winter  term  graduates  on March  11. 
" As  we  look  forward  to  an  era  of  peace,"  she 
said,  "let  us  also  look  forward  to  a  civilization  in 
which  the arts  contribute  full  measure  to  our lives. 
Perhaps  only  now  are  we  beginning  to  keep  faith 
with  the  promise  and  vision  our forefathers had for 
us. 
: .'·:'We  might  call  what  we  are  doing  a  step 
backward in the right  direction." 

. Miss  Hanks  said  that Americans  "seem to reflect 

a  long  - standing  inferiority  complex  about  our 
cultural heritage." 

"We  think  of  it  as  being  characterized  by  the 
rough  values  of  the  frontier,  where there  was  little 
time  or  interest  for  the  arts.  Or  else  we  recall  the 
dour  Puritan  heritage  of  New  England,  which 
looked  upon  most  forms  of  entertainment  as 
contrary 
as 
distractions from productive labor. .. "

such 

The  arts  are  central 

issues  as 
communication,  the  environment,  education  and 
constructive change, she said. 
Miss  Hanks also  stated : 
"There is  a  growing realization  that there will be 
no  end  to  material  poverty  until  there is  an  end  to 
spiritual  poverty; that we  will  not  clear and cleanse 
our congested  slums until we allIift up our eyes and 
consciousness  to  beauty  and  the necessity  for  it in 
our lives ; that  we  will  be  slow to root out prejudice 
and injustice  from  our society  until  our minds are 
opened  by  the  humanizing  power of literature and 
great drama and music and art." 

She noted that some Americans , especially young , 
people,  lost  faith  in the country  during  the  1960's. 
But  she  said  their  faith  "is  now being reborn out of 
the  knowledge  that  our  country  is  moving  toward 
an  era  of  lasting  peace  in  the  world,  toward  a 
healthier  environment,  and  toward  a  new  era  of 
progress  and  equality  of  opportunity  for  all  our 
people." 

A total of  1,677  students received degrees at the 

MSU commencement. 

Miss  Hanks  was  awarded  an  honorary  doctor's 
·degree  as  were  Peter  B.  Clark,  publisher  of  Hie

Museum  seeks craft~ 

Macrame,  decoupage,  poftery,  weaving, 
needlepoint  and  other  examples  of  contemporary 
arts  and  crafts  done  by  students,  faculty  and 
community  residents  are  wanted  by  the  MSU 
museum. 

The  handiworks  will  be  used  in  the  museum' s 
"Artisans  Old  World  and New" exhibit which traces 
arts and crafts from  colonial times to the present. 

"It is  interesting  to  note  that  many  of  the  old 
crafts  like  macrame  and  needlepoint  have  become 
extremely  popular  today,"  said  Dirk  Gringhuis, 
curator of the Museum. "We think that by including 
contemporary  works  in  our exhibit  it  will  be  ~nore 
appealing and complete," he added. 

According  to  Gringhuis,  each  of  the  works 
displayed  will  feature  the  artist's name and whether 
or not it is for sale.

Firm  retained 

The  firm  of  Brakeley,  John  Prince  Jones,  Inc., 
New · York  based  fund  raising  counsel,  has  been 
retained by  MSU  to evaluate the University's ability 
to  undertake  a  major,  long  - term  fund  raising 
program. 

According  to  Vice  President  for  Development 
Leslie  W.  Scott,  the  retention  of  the  firm  is  a  key 
step in the  University's  plans to build a wider, more 
flexible  development  program  to  raise  furtds  for 
such projects at the Performing Arts Center. 

The  firm  will  have  representatives on campus in 
April  to begin a six - month evaluation of such areas 
as  the  University's  existing  fund  raising  efforts, 
present  resources  that  might . contribute  to  an 
intensive  capital  campaign,  the  role  of  the  MSU 
Foundation,  and  the  feasible  financial  goals  the 
University might set. 

Scott  said  the  Brakeley  fum  was  selected  from 
among  eleven  such  firms  that  he has visited, four of 
whom  submitted  proposals.  Institutions  that  are 
current  or  recent  clients  of  the  company  include 
Yale  University,  Stanford  University, the University

Paul  L.  Dressel,  director  of insitutional  research,

American  methods  of  offering  university  degrees 
based on nontraditional systems of learning. 

Under  an  $8,000  grant  from 

the  Danforth 
Foundation,  Dressel  will  visit  a  number  of 
nonformal  educational institutions across the nation 
which  function  as  "universities  without  walls," 
"open universities," and "free universities," and give 
academic  credit  for  nonacademic  learning  and 
experience.

three  years  later,  the President proposes 
to  phase  out  much  of this  "dep~ndable

on  MSU's  extensive  medical  programs. 
A  further  difficulty,  of course, is the 
slim  prospect of replacing  federal  funds

operating  under  tight  fiscal  constraints 
for  several  years,  and  the flexibility and

next  year, in view  of commitments and 
priorities  already  set,  are  exceedingly

Specific Cutbacks 

A  review  of  the  effects  of proposed 
federal  cutbacks  reveals  a  number  of 

real  and  potentially  serious  situations. 
Several  of these  are  briefly  cited  below 
as  illustrative  of  the  problem,  but  the 
list  is  by  no  means  all  - inconclusive. 
*The  Cooperative  Extension  Service 
would  lose  about  $114,000 ,  of  which 
$33,000  is  in  the  Expanded  Nutrition 
Program.  This  cutback  would  mean  a 
reduction  of  five  or  six  professionals 
(probably  4-H  and  extension  home 
economists)  and 
loss  of  nutrition 
assistance  to  200 low  - income families. 
*The  College  of Veterinary Medicine 
is  receiving  $446,000  this  fiscal  year in 
the 
capita tion  grants  under 
Comprehensive  Health  Manpower 
Training  Program.  The  President's 
budget  calls 
this  amount 
for  half 
($233,000)  for  the  next  fical  year,  and 
nothing for  1974-75. On  the basis ofthe 
federal  commitment,

Unless  this  program  is  funded,  MSU 
will  have  approximately  $2.5  million 
less  next  year than was available for this 
year.  Currently,  we  are  lending  $3.5 
million  under 
this  program,  which 
would  thus  fall  to  an  anticipated  $1 
million  next  year.  Much  has  been  said 
about  the  delinquency  rate  for  NDSL 
loans  -
the  delinquency  rate  for  MSU 
students is less than 3  per cent. 

Fedeqlly Insured Loan Program 

Currently,  MSU 

students  are 
borrowing  between  $3.5  and  $4 million

Loan  Program.  The  director  of  the

operative,  and  the  prime  interest  rate is 
going  up ,  making  student  loans  less

NDSL  funds  thus  will  not  be  absorbed 
by the banks and other lending agencies. 
In  any  event,  students  using  this  loan 
source  must  face  paying  about  7  per

under NDSL. 

in 

It  is  anticipated 

that  MSU  will 
receive  less  Work  - Study  funds  next 
year  because  $20  million  less  would  be 
appropriated,  and  more  proprietary 
schools  will  be  eligible  to  participate  in 
the  program.  In  addition, more students 
will  be  eligible  to  partiCipate  in  the 
program  than  before (such as half - time 
anticipate 
students).  Because  we 
receiving  less  money  and  more  students 
will  be  eligible,  it  will  probably become 
necessary 
to  eliminate  or  drastically 
curtail  our  Summer  Work  - Study 
Program.  Last  summer,  600  students

who  were  unable

Ba~ic Educational OppoJ"tunity 
Grant Program 

On  the  basis  of  our  sampling,  it 
would  appear  that  more students would 
receive  a  grant  under  the  proposed 
BEOG  Program  than  under the  current 
Educational  Opportunity Grant  (EOG) 
Program.  However,  some  students  who 
are  currently 
receiving  EOG's  will 
receive  less  under  BEOG,  and  some will 
receive  no  grant at all.  This is due to the 
treatments  of  family  assets  and  the 
manner  in  which  social  security  and 
veterans benefits are handled. 

If it  becomes  necessary  to  place  the 
reduction 
effect, 
formulas 
practically  all  students  now  receiving

Conclusion 

From  the  above,  it  is  apparent  that 
Educational  Opportunity  Grant  funds 
are  urgently  needed  to  enable  us  to 
correct  inequities  and  to  guard  against 
inadequate 
the  adverse 
funding  of  BEOG  until  the  BEOG 
program  can  be  properly  funded  and 
phased - in.

It is  a  matter  of  grave  concern that 
Program  will  not  be 
the  BEOG 
completely  operative  in  time  for  the 
opening  of school in  the  fall.  This  fact, 
coupled  with the uncertainty of funding 
for  the  current  programs,  will  make  it 
impossible:  to  start  informing  students 
as  to  their  financial  aid  package  until 
late  in  the  summer  and  perhaps  not 
until after school starts in September. 

It is  our  hope  and  recommendation 
that  the  provisions  of the law be carried 
out  and  that  the  current  financial  aid 
programs  be  funded.  In  addition,  the 
appropriation  for  the  BEOG  Program 
should  be  such  as  to insure  full  funding 
of 
it  should  become 
operative  only  after  guidelines  have 
been  carefully  drawn  and  understood, 
.and it should be phased in at a later date 
when  it  can  be  certain  that  serious 
dislocation  to  students  can  be  avoided.

p'articular problem is that the school has

'Beggar's  Opera' presented tonight 

BY FRED BRUFLODT 
The  arts  scene  at  MSU  will  display 
unusual  diversity 
this  weekend  with 
local  and  visiting  groups  presenting  a 
mime  show,  an  opera  and two concerts. 
two  exhibits  will  open 
In  addition, 
Sunday  at 
the  Kresge  Art  Center 
Gallery. 

Tonight  in  the  Music  Auditorium, 
the  "Beggar's  Opera,"  performed  by 
MSU's  Opera  Workshop, opens its four -
day run at 8:15 p.m. 

'''The  Beggar's  Opera'  was  the  first 
'ballad  opera'  to achieve notable success 
in  England,"  explains  Gean  Greenwell, 
associate'  professor  of  music  and 
director  of MSU's  Opera  Workshop.  "It 
is  credited  with  knocking  the  props 
from  under  the  Italian  opera  rage  in 
England." 

When  the  "Beggar's  Opera"  came 
along  with  its  thieves,  beggars,  fences, 
madams  and  prostitutes  and  its  music 
adapted  from  folk  songs  and  popular 
pieces,  it  was  an  immediate  hit  with 
those who scorned Italian opera. 
in 
The  central  character 

"The 
Beggar's  Opera"  is  the  highwayman, 
Macheath,  who  hobnobs  with  royalty 
but  is  unwise  enough  to  marry  the 
daughters- of two  men  who  fence stolen 
goods. 

Although  the.  two  fathers  decide  to 
get  rid  of  Macheath,  he  is  saved  at  the 
last  minute "to provide  a  happy  ending 
to the opera" says Greenwell. 

The  "Beggar's  Opera"  was  the  basis 
for  Kurtweil's  famous  "Three  Penny 
Opera." 

Tomorrow, 

Mime Show 
the  Ann  Arbor  Mime 
Troupe  will  present" Alice's Adventures 
Under Ground."  Clive Sykes, director of 
the  troupe,  describes this new staging of 
the  Lewis  Carroll  classic  as  "the  dream 
of  a  small  girl  who  is  stretched  and 
squeezed  through  the  clutches  of  that 
lunatics  whom 
frigtening  swarm  of 

every  child  instinctively  mistrusts  -
grown - ups." 

Donna  Kost, ·  one  of 

the  cast 
members,  says, "we believe that mime is 
more  expressive  than  words  could  ever 
be.  Once  an  audience  can  be  educated 
to  forget  words,  their  iII1agination  can 
go anywhere." 

~ 

For  those  who  want  to  know  more 
about  mime  technique,  the  troupe  will 
offer  a  workshop  Sunday  at  2  p.m.  in 
the Women's 1M  Building.

Kerkam,  says  Paul  Love,  gallery 
director, is  one  of many artists who has 
been  relegated  to  a  secondary  position 
during  his  lifetime  because  he  has  not 
been  an  exponent  of  the  current  style. 
He  retained his own distinctive style and 
remained  untouched  by the art that was 
being created around him. 

Earl  Kerkam,  who  gave up his family 
and  a  highly  lucrative  commercial  art 
career to  devote  his  life  to  painting and 
drawing,  died  in  1965  at  the age  of 73. 
Earlier in his  career, he had painted and 
studied in Paris. 

Esteban  Vicente,  one  of  Kerkam's 
colleagues,  regarded  him  as  a significant 
artist.  "He's  a  minor  painter,"  said 
Vicente,  "but  that  doesn't  make  any 
difference.  One  can  be  minor  and  also 
significant,  and  he  certainly 
the 
latter."
