The metal polish in the little striped can that used to sit next to the 19 cent ballpoints by the cash re.gister in the bookstore? As recently as 11 years ago, when every freshman and able bodied male sophomore was required to belong either to ROTC or the band, and there were a lot of buttons and buckles to shine, it was a hot item. BY MIKE MORRISON The 'bookstore doesn't it anymore. The Army and Air Force ROTC united on campus this spring have a combined enrollment of 218 cadets. The band is almost that big. stock But raw numbers and Brasso sales are misleading if they are used to gauge the health of ROTC at MSU. The leaner cadet corps is the result of the abolition of mandatory military training at the University a decade ago ~ -and, more recently, the end of the draft and general drawdown of military forces since the disengagement of the United States from the Vietnam War . . Spokesmen for both the Air Force and Army units are encouraged by the fact that the programs are composed of young men and women with the "right" motivations - a desire for service to the country, professional advancement, and a steady and well paying job upon graduation, among others. There is little chance of ROTC at MSU going belly - up because of lack of interest, they say. The Army unit is still the largest among the 11 units in the state and was one of 20 out of the 102 units under 5th Army that showed an increase in enrollment last fall. The Air Force program is also larger than the other three in Michigan. active affairs Faculty and staff members who have in in ROTC been instructional or advisory capacities say the relationship between the military and the University embodied in ROTC from what was is moving away considered by a parasitic some arrangement and approaching a more beneficial state of symbiosis.

He's a West Point in grad ua te who doesn't believe "Knocking his ring" (a bit of military esoterica referring to the tendency of some service academy graduates to remind other officers of their prestigious beginnings by rapping their class rings on desks, bars, etc.). Burner believes the military needs the input from ROTC to complement that from the service academies and other sources and "to permeate the officer corps with a broader point of view." "Duty, Honor, Country," the motto of the Long Grey Line, is just as applicable to his students, he says, though graduates are motivated toward military careers. few of his "The product we aim to turn out is the citizen - soldier," he says. "Most of our people are not military career oriented and it is not our goal to make them so." In 1969, the last year ROTC was mandatory, the Army program enrolled more than 3,000 students. This spring the enrollment is 106. In spite of a slight increase in enrollment last fall, two very different factors have occurred since that have affected retention. The first was the announcment in January that no more men would be drafted. Twenty - four cadets left the program shortly thereafter. "These were mostly first and second year students, many of whom were draft motivated," Burner said. He said that draft avoidance has frequently been a motivation for ROTC membership, adding "and this has provided us with some very good products." (Continued on page 4) . - Photo by Dick Wesley . . Survey raps pass-fail grades An informal survey of member the Committee on institutions by Institutional (CIC) has 'Cooperation shown that nontraditional grading can work to a student's disadvantage when he or she applies for admission to graduate or professional schools.

They say little harm, but that a few pass - fail courses, particularly in non - required large subjects, do numbers of such courses in prerequisite areas can produce "distinct disadvantage" for the applicant. Several respondents said such grading was "grossly unfair" to good students. a see Business and law school admissions officers fewer problems with nontraditional grading so long as those courses comprise a minimum of the student's transcript, although they agree with law school officers that it forces too much standard admissions tests. reliance on Several · CIC Business schools expressed concern over the growth of non trad itional grading, and one admissions officer said that any grading pattern that could not be adjusted to the 4.0 scale would eliminate the applicant from admission. Admission to CIC apparently not hampered law schools is if nontraditional grading accounts for less than 25 per cent of the student's undergraduate grades, but can be a detriment if the proportion is higher. Several law deans, however, expressed strong disapproval of the pass - fail grading, one terming it "unfair to the good student," and another calling it a "euphemistic absurdity." Graduate school deans also said a few fail courses might not be an pass - impediment, but in general that nontraditional grading has a "negative influence" on admissions. One dean said pass - fail grading "unquestionably does harm," and another said a complete such courses would transcript of eliminate from consideration, and another described it as "bordering on the fraudulent." the candidate so Financial aid in CIC law, medicine and business schools is based on need exclusively, the undergraduate transcript is not a factor once the admissiops hurdle is passed.

Dean Gordon Rohman said he was discouraged by the report, but added, "this is part of the information we need to complete our evaluation." Neil Cullen, JMC instructor who is conducting the evaluation said he was "definitely concerned," and added that it was unfortunate if JMC's PN system was lumped into all other pass - fail courses by graduate and professional schools. He explained that the PN system used by JMC provides written evaluations of the students, not just a pass or fail notation. At the end of a student's undergraduate career he can ask for a profile encompassing all his written evaluations. "We provide more evaluation of the student through our system," he said, "not less." The CIC survey indicated that 25 per cent of a student's transcript composed of pass - fail evaluations was about the maximum acceptable without hurting the student's chances for admission to graduate or professional school. JMC students graduating this year and next will have about 50 per cent of their undergraduate work in PN courses. All of the work in their majors, however, will be graded traditionally because it is taken outside the college. Cullen said the experiences of this graduating class and the next one will be closely watched to see if the PN grading is detrimental. find that graduate and professional schools react -negatively to our system, then we won't keep it ,and jeopardize our students." Cullen said. "If we Both Rohman and Cullen expressed disappointment that admissions officers seem reluctant to take the time and go to the expense to give nontraditional grading a chance. "Some of them just don't know how to cope without the convenience of numbers," Rohman said. ,~ Page 2, April 19, 1973 Geographer redraws United States map Stanley D. Brunn, associate professor of geography, has devised a new map of the nation's states, reducing them in number from 50 to 16 on the basis of similar economic orientations, social and cultural heritage, and political ideology. Brunn, who is acting director of the MSU Computer Institute for Social Science Research, said his new map is an attempt to identify a reasonable number of states or city states that could justifiably handle existing and eventual societal pro blems. Brunn has done extensive research in political geography, social geography and urban geography, using the computer and various quantitative methods. He feels that the 50 - state political divisions of today, devised in the colonial and agrarian regimes of the 18th and 19th centuries, are invalid. On the other hand, he doubts that his new map of 16 states will receive instant acceptance as Americans are accustomed the boundaries and to names of existing political units. The average American, Brunn said, often knows his police, property, and school district boundaries and may fight to retain each of them, if asked to shift loyalties, even though there may be considerable personal and societal gain in such an enterprise. "..,...~,.......,,......,---. STANLEY BRUNN revise Brunn would the present structure of electing national, state and 10 cal officials. He would redraw legislative areas at local and national levels. He would acknowledge shifts in political parties and cultures. He would give recognition to American migration, mobility, urbanization, concern for the environment, and the newer needs in governmental decision - making. 16 New States In the west, Brunn's new states would be "Pacifica," running from the Canadian border to midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and including Hawaii and Alaska; "Angelina," which would run east from the Southern end of "Pacifica" to include the western third of Texas; and "Rocky," which would include all or part of eight western states starting in the north with Montana. San Francisco would be the capital of "Pacifica," Los Angeles the capital of Angelina," and Denver the Capital of "Rocky." In the ceI;lter of the nation, the new states would be "North Plains;' . 'Central Plains," "South Plains," "N orth Heartland," and "South Heartland." In the south, a major new state would be "New South," including parts of nine existing states, with Atlanta the capital.

His "Angelina," is dominated by the Spanish - American influence, the influx of old and young migrants, and the spread of defense and space industries. Los Angeles is selected as capital because it is the dominant city in the southwest.

En·ergy policy urged A coherent national energy policy - one which will enable the nation and its energy suppliers to work toward common goals - is long overdue, a vice president of Consumers Power Co. charged on campus last week. Decisions of many federal departments and agencies which rule on energy matters have been "piecemeal and inconsistent, based on narrow and short - run interpretations of conditions affecting particular fuels, at a particular said Romney Wheeler. time,' Wheeler emphasized that Michigan, which has changed from an agricultural state to a great industrial complex, depends on energy, as he addressed Michigan District 636 Rotarians meeting in Kellogg Center. He said it is "alarming" that most Americans do not yet realize there is a problem and that even some of those who are aware of the problem are unaware of impact of inadequate energy supplies on their own day - by - day ·activities and life styles. the "Organized labor, for example," he said, "has itself, at all, with the energy not concerned problem." Wheeler said the U.S. Department of Interior the national demand estimates industrial, commerical, governmental and private residential -will triple by the year 2,000. He said Michigan's demand may increase by even more than the national average. for energy - To restrict the growth rate of energy use is not practical, he told the Rotarians. "We would fail to achieve our most pressing national goals, including full employment, alleviation of poverty, and protection of our national security. We also would the to curtail our efforts to clean up have environment ... " Wheeler pointed out that while it is highly desirably to use available energy more efficiently, this alone will not solve the problem. Neither will imports, he underscored. He cited lack of ocean terminals, shortage of refineries and the "cold hard facts of balance of payments" to the Middle East. "Energy is going to cost more in the future," he asserted. But he added that higher rates will not solve the problem. Wheeler emphasized that the United States, its itself, ' "has sufficient foreseeable needs" in the energy field. to meet resources "The various elements of energy industries must be allowed to get on with the job of providing increased supplies," he declared. "This means allowing wells to be drilled, pipelines to be built, transmission lines to be extended, nuclear plants to be constructed and brought into service." 'Stay off bandwagon' America's educational leaders should not "jump the bandwagon" of on education, according to one of this country's leading educators. for changing fads Ralph W. Tyler told the faculty of the College of Education that educational leaders should examine both the changes in the whole society and pressures for change from within the discipline, and then make creative, constructive responses, Tyler, a spry 71 - year - old who began teaching 51 years ago, was the guest speaker at a President's Luncheon last week honoring four MSU education faculty members who are presidents of professional organizations. He is the founding director and director emeritus of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Palo Alto, Calif., and was formerly dean of the School of Education at the University of Chicago. Tyler has been responsible for many developments in curriculum, evaluation and testing. The educator said he sees two separate kinds of changes in education - those which are a response to changes in society and those which originate with educators from their changing 'concepts of what education is. Schools irl the United States are more responsive to changes in society than are the schools of most other nations, he said. He several from outside education which have influences molded it in recent history: reviewed in the *The Shift labor force away from agricultural to industrial and service occupations has increased the number of children who stay in school longer. *The rise in international tensions during World War II and the cold war has put increasing attention on science and mathematics. *The increasing ease with which people can advance their social class as America becomes more of an open society has increased the need for education. * Efforts connected with rights movement to increase opportunities for minorities. the civil *The smaller role the family plays in its children's education. *Pressure from the public for the government to provide more services, and in turn, the pressure from the government .to justify how schools spend their money. On the other hand, there have been changes in education that have come from within, Tyler said. "We don't realize how humane the treatment of children is and how recent a change that is," he said, relating the experiences of his grandfather who as a teacher had to prove to the older boys that he was stronger than they. He also cited the tailoring of instruction to each child, the involvement of children in the planning and evaluating of activities, and the increasing clarity of objectives and relevance of what is taught. The MSU luncheon at which he spoke honored Cole S. Brembeck, president of the Comparative and Interna tional Education Society; William K. Durr, president 'Of the International Reading Association; Robert L. Ebel, president of the American Education Research Association; and Floyd G. Parker, president of the Council of Education Facility Planners, International. They' were praised for the significant contributions they have made to their professions and to MSU. Abernathy here The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, will address a Michigan Convocation for Racial Justice Tuesday (April 24) at Kellogg Center. The convocation is sponsored by a coalition of 30 organizations representing business, industry, labor, CIVIC groups, religious educational, governmental and voluntary organizations. Ten· panels will examine matters including the role of the mass media, cultural preservation versus assimilation, social institutional racism, forces, political empowerment, economic empowerment, health, housing, quality education and equal justice under law. Stated purpose of the convocation (Advance fee, $8.25, including luncheon) is "To promote greater understanding and cooperation, to effect sustained action, to eliminate racism in community and state life, to provide a rallying point for everyone to participate in the statewide effort, and to build coalitions for education and action designed to bring racial justice for all." Enrollments soanOng Human ecology enrollment is increasing more than ten times as fast as overall enrollment at MSU, the new dean of the College of Human Ecology told alumni, meeting Saturday (April 14). "Very rapid growth has occurred in the past two years," said Lois A. Lund. "Enrollment in the College of Human Ecology has increased by more than 29 per cent while overall University enrollment has increased by only a little over 2 per cent." Dean Lund said undergraduate enrollment in human ecology has increased from 1,350 majors to more than 1,750 majors in just three years. She said most of this has been at the junior - senior level, as well. She added that graduate enrollment in human ecology fields has tripled within the decade. indicated Dean Lund that burgeoning enrollment, especially field, in manifests irlcreased interest in professional studies related to families and family problems. the graduate But she pointed out that pride in increased interest and enrollment in home and family studies is "mixed with frustrations."

Douglas Aho, but graduates who wish to enter a reserve unit instead have that option. He said the effect of the draft stoppage could not be evaluated until next fall. Like the Army cadets, few Air Force students anticipate a military career. Aho estimates only about 10 - 1 S per cent plan on a career in uniform. Both officers say the atmosphere on campus for ROTC has shifted back to the demonstrations normalcy after directed toward it two and three years ago. The Army unit was the target for most of those demonstrations : but the the A ir Force did not escape repercussions. Both units have been commissioning about 3S officers a year. Next year the Air Force will commission only 19, and Aho feels this is a result of the peer pressure on freshmen in 1970 that made many of them reluctant to wear the uniform. Reassessment One result of the Vietnam War, and the anti - military reactions it spawned on this and other campuses, has been a reassessment of the place of ROTC in the University. Out of this reassessment has come curricular changes that, in the opinion of military and civilian faculty members, have stronger relationship. created a In 1960 the Mershon National Security Program sponsored a two - day program at Ohio State University to assess the role of ROTC programs in light of the "current uneasiness" being expressed regarding the relationship of officer education to college curricula. William Combs, dean emeritus of the University Services and presently director of MSU's Archives and Historical Collections, was one of the five men who planned that conference. recommendations stemming from that conference were: regular academic courses should be substituted for some military courses; faculty committees with policy responsibilities should be appointed; military programs should become more Among the flexibile to reflect the varied academic character of the institution; universities should be reimbursed by the military for the use of their facilities; and better communication should be established between the armed services and the academic institutions. V er y little came of those recommendations. Sufficient pressure for implementation did not appear. But by the end of the decade, with the country involved in perhaps its most the pressure was controversial war, there. the In 1969, the Department of Defense released its Special report of Committee on ROTC, a group composed of nine high ranking university and military officials. Twenty - one recommendations were included in that report - called the Benson Report after committee chairman George C.S. Benson - which largely a reiteration of those were suggested at the Mershon Conference. The Benson Report did, however, go further in recommending an integration of ROTC regular academic offerings of the host institutions and in giving institutions greater input and control over courses required of ROTC students. into Two years later, in 1971, six major education associations, including the American Council on Education and the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, issued a joint statement with a series of proposals again designed to establish a clearly mutual responsibility of the participating " academic institutions and the military in the operation of ROTC programs. Implementation Most of the major recommendations of the Mershon Conference, the Benson Report and the joint statement by the education associations have been implemented at MSU. Since 1969, curriculum revisions have been underway that now 'require all ROTC students to take a series of political science, management, and other courses for military and aerospace science credit. Military history has long been course being for aerospace students is developed "The Military in American Society," which will explore the role of the military officer in a democratic society and the political, economic and social constraints upon the military. required.

About 90 per cent of the articles submitted in The for pUblication Centennial Review are rejected, most of them because they are too specialized for a broad audience. Manuscripts come from all over the world, principally from scholars but also from professional people. Authors have included social scientist Talcott Parsons and philosopher Erwin Panofsky, as well as Adlai Stevenson and Lyndon Johnson. interest. All of the material is original. As an indication of the journal's reputation, more than 60 per cent of the material is reprinted in anthologies or other works. Mead welcomes articles from people branching out from their specific fields of the current spring number, there is an article on the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald co - authored by a UCLA law professor and the director of legal psychiatry at UCLA, and another on the political theories of novelist Ken Kesey written by a University of Texas political scientist. In "If the journal seems weighted toward literature," Mead says, it is only because of the number of manuscripts from that field that we receive, not because it is designed that way." The Centennial Review operates within a "small but adequate bUdget." At a time when many intellectual journals are in financial trouble, it is healthy if not affluent. Circulation varies between 1,500 and 2,000, not enough for subsidization through the College of Arts and Letters. to eliminate the need The private subscription list is small, Mead theorizes, because the publication covers so many fields. Rates are $3 per year or $5 for two years. Mead works gratis. Managing Margaret Blackman works half - time and is the only paid staff member. Honorariums of $50 used to be paid to authors, then it was $25, now nothing. The only advertising is in the New York Review of Books. Reprints are no longer to authors. Long distance provided phone calls are made only in emergencies. But no compromise has been made effecting the quality of the publication. Printing is done by the William Byrd Press in Virginia. There are cheaper alternatives, Mead says, but the product would show it. The Centennial Review was designed by Charles C. Pollock, now retired from the Art Department. Its size, slightly smaller than similar publications, is comfortable. Its typographical personality is one of no - nonsense efficiency without · affected starchiness. In addition to Mrs. Blackman, Mead is assisted by poetry editor Linda Wagner and a 15 - member editorial board composed of faculty members from 14 different disciplines. Mead has been editor for six years. He was preceded by Herbert Weisinger, now dean of graduate studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Branford Millar, who left MSU in 1959 to assume the presidency of Portland State College in Oregon. Mead's editing experience goes back the Depression when he worked for the Federal Writers Project in Ohio editing state and regional guides. In the intervening years, he augmented his undergraduate degree from Washington and Jefferson College with a B. A. and M. A. from Ohio State University, and taught at Ohio Wesleyan, Denison and Ohio State before coming to MSU in 1948. He currently serves as an advisory editor to Dodd, Mead (no relation), Inc. on literary manuscripts. He was chairman ' of the English Department from 1959 - 66, served as chief of MSU's Okinawa Project between 1955 and 1957, and in 1964 was the a Fulbright Scholar at University of the Philippines. He says he doesn't believe in remaining in one professional position forever, but that he'll continue editing The Centennial Review "as long as it's exciting.

More than 6,500 scholarships covering tuition, books and fees are in effect by both the Army and Air Force each year. For next fall, more than seniors are 30,000 high competing the Air Force for scholarships alone. school In addition, ROTC students during their last two years draw $100 a month, tax free. Herman King, assistant provost and the man to whom the two ROTC units report, agrees with Williams on the importance of civilian input into the officer corps, and prefers to refer to ROTC the University in the military, rather than vice versa." as "the presence of With a peacetime atmosphere pervading, King says there may be a tendency to let ROTC matters slide and that this should be guarded against. It was . this kind of atmosphere and the ambivalence the Mershon recommendations of Conference rest on dead center until the Vietnam War brought new pressures on ROTC, he said. that saw "We ought to behave toward ROTC as though the pressure was still on," he says. "If people had taken the Mershon Conference more seriously, we wouldn't have had the problems we did later on." King has a number of specific ideas on how ROTC could become an even more integral and productive part of the academic institution. "Local ROTC units should act as a channel of communication prime bet ween the the University Department of Defense much like the Cooperative Extension Service does to the Department of Agriculture," he says. and King strongly recommends that ROTC adopt a research function to complement its teaching responsibilities, giving officers an opportunity to use "peace resources University researc h." for greater use made of various types of expertise on campus. As a result, he said, MSU graduates are "standing head and shoulders above other ROTC graduates" in the six - month branch schools they attend upon ' being commissioned. Future What about the future? "There have always been many young men and women interested in military service and I think this interest will continue," says Frederick Williams, professor of history and a member of the national Army Advisory Panel on ROTC Affairs. COL. JEAN BURNER He points out that interest on the part of academic institutions remains high, with more than 40 schools now on a waiting list to be granted Army ROTC units. One of the recommendations of both the Mershon Conference and the Benson Report was that the military reimburse the universities institutional expenses in supporting ROTC units. Williams says this is nearing fruition, although a final formula has not yet been worked out. for The institutional contribution is more than financial, he adds, because the graduates fed into the military are influential in the officer corps, and this civilian a democratic influence society is essential. in ago and will Bert Shaber, associate director of admissions and scholarships, who served as chairman of Aerospace Studies before retiring from the Air Force, be'tieves interest in ROTC bottomed out about a soon begin a year resurgence. On visits to high schools, he finds that interest is already increasing, and "a surprising number of the national merit finalists who came to campus contending for the Alumni Distinguished Scholarships expressed an interest in ROTC." Richard Coelho says one of the for ROTC incentives biggest membership will be money. "One big attraction will be ROTC "We ought to be doing peace research on every campus," he says. "We sometimes think of peace as only a vacuum between wars. We ought to encourage a more positive approach and ask 'what causes peace,' and 'how do we accomplish peace'." Finally, he wa nts to see even more and coo peration between military civilian faculty through team teaching and team research efforts. "The With the changes that have been made in the last several years, he is satisfied. But he looks forward to more. the academic community and ROTC has been in need of modernization," he says.
