The council approved both proposals at its Tuesday meeting. James Bonnen, professor of agricultural economics and chairman of the Steering Comittee said that what is needed for the review "is a small intense committee to get the job done." The committee is to be composed of two students, one graduate and one by undergraduate, nominated the Elected Student Council ; four faculty , recent including one current or chairman or director, nominated by the Committee on Committees; and one line administrator, from the level of by dean or higher, to be nominated the Administrative Group .

Wharton, Jr., said Monday in San Francisco that university trustees and presidents must take the initiative to restore public esteem and confidence to education. He said current attacks against higher education stem from a number of including unmet public sources expectations, campus disorders and governmental intrusions. He added that the problems are often aggravated by an adversary stance between the trustees and presidents of the institutions. inflation, Addressing the annual meeting of the Association of G9verning Boards of Universities and Colleges, President Wharton said that under the impact of these and other "higher education has drifted away from its central purposes and 'its most effective service to society. forces, " If we are to break this siege and to reverse this drift, trustees and presidents must take the initiative," he said. "If higher education is to put its house in order and restore esteem among the various publics, trustees and presidents must develop a joint counterattack." Stating that the first step was for the trustees and presidents to clarify and understand roles, Wharton traced the change in trustee attitudes their position mainly was one of defending their institutions to the public. time when respective from a their in the "By reorient themselves," he late 1 960s, reacting to apparent institutional inability to cope with disturbances, many trustees began said. to "Reversing their accustomt'd role as interpreters to society, they increasingly functioned the university as representatives and spokesmen for the wider society. "Echoing their constituents over campus unrest and supposed academic intransigence, trustees who once had been advocates and defenders now became interrogators and enforcers, seeking to impose a public co nception of order, responsibility and relevance upon the colleges and universities under their guidance." concern of the At the sallie time , Wharton said presidents were finding difficulty in coping with new problems of confrontation, negotiation and the new forms of labor and human relations brought on by increased unionization and affirmative action activities. "For the most part, presidents were powerless to prevent the erosion and fragmentation of their executivE. aut hority," he said. "Several court traditional judgments had diluted decjsion- making procedures, while newly emerging academic governance faculty and students patterns gave ever-greater the influence over administrative process." Wharton said presidents and trustees must recognize that they share one major characteristic: they are the only individuals with a total institutional perspective - the trustees in terms of policy determination, and the president in terms of policy formula tion and execution. "Such perspectives are indispensible in assigning priorities to goals and groups competing for limited resources, and in dealing with the constituencies which have a vested interest in these priorities," he said. "These shared perspectives lie at the heart of our joint leadership. We can no longer rely on a dominant board of trustees or a dominant preSident." Wharton called on trustees to serve as a bridge between campus and society, acting as interpreters of the complex educational structure while also being the channel for external voices which have a stake in how the university functions. For their part, he said , presidents must lead, master the new and necessary skills of administration and develop a true partnership with trustees in the identification and solution of policy issues. The president also must seek to use special competencies of individual trustees which may benefit the institution, he added. the "Despite current public disenchantment, our colleges and universities continue to be critically important social institutions," Wharton concluded. "Although we have in recent years allowed some of them to lose their vitality, their potential exceeds present realities. Indeed, our overarching concentration upon , immediate issues and problems too often has blinded us to inherent opportunities for creativity and progress. "But we can, through the partnership approach I have outlined, restore higher in education society." rightful place its to AP board to form position The executive board of the Administrative-Professional Association meets at noon today to determine the group's official reaction to the recently completed evaluation of A-P employee classifications and salary ranges. The association has been asked to its recommendations to the submit Board of Trustees at its May 25 meeting. The recommendations of the administration will be presented at the same time. At a meeting of the association TJesday night, a straw vote of the membership indicated a desire to delay recommendations on the proposed plan until further study of it could be undertaken. However , a motion to direct the executive board to reject the plan at this time was soundly defeated, leaving the deCision in the board's hands. William Kenney, president of the association, said the board has had a "love-hate" relationship to the study conducted by the firm of Robert H. Hayes and Associates. "We've wanted a study like this for a long time," he said, "but now that we have it, we're not so sure." It has many good features, he emphasized, and seems to be built on sound management principles. But he pointed to many areas of weakness.

MSU is not getting its share of one of the largest businesses in the country - philanthropy, according to the chairman of the firm retained by the University to evaluate its fund raising potential. George A. Brakeley, Jr., met with the Alumni Association's Development Council Friday (April 27) in Kellogg Center. He pointed out that " philanthropy is a big business in this country. The year before last Americans gave $21.5 billion.'" them to In for competing that money, however, MSU is "somewhat behind comparable institutions in the nation and the state," he said. "It's high time that Michigan State got into the marketplace and got its share of that money." That lag is the reason the position of vice-president for development was created a year ago. It is the reason Leslie W. Scott left a successful business career to return to his alma mater to fill that position. It is the reason the Board of Trustees created . the MSU Foundation earlier this year ....

Among those current clients are UCLA, the University of Michigan, Stanford Univ~ity, t~e lJ!live~sity of Oregon , and Yale University. Brakeley told Development Council members that one of MSU's objectives will have to be destroying the notion among some potential donors that a state-supported university doesn't need private funds. In' fact, he told them, donations to public universities are the fastest ' rising aspect of philanthropy in the country. Art loub, managing director of the MSU Development Fund, told the group that in order to conduct the type of campaign likely to be recommended by the Brakeley firm, the Development Fund and the Alumni Association will concentrate in the months ahead on identifying, cultivating and reaching gift sources large and small. Toward this end, he said, the Alumni Association is improving its basic record keeping and system, and retrieval implementing a number of new efforts through its directors of annual giving, special projects and the Ralph Young Fund.

John - He and colleagues in English and history devised a macro course in the history, literature and philosophy of the 18th century. They arranged a four - hour blo ck of time, three days a week, with a break for lunch; Non - class activities included field trips arid play reading. R esource people from campus and outside spoke on the art , music, and science and economics of the period. The student s became so involved that they organized an 18thCentury dinner for themselves and t heir professors. The ways in which the innovative program solved student problems included the replacement, by the single course, of a large numb er of unrelated courses competing for student time and energy, he said. In addition, the course eliminated or reduced the vacuum that can occur in academic areas by abolishment of course requirements. courses, Students inclined to give less attention to pass - fail Immerwahr suggested, should be allowed to make prior agreement with instructors on the number of variable credits and quantity of work to do dome in such courses.

"The cutbacks in federal fwuEnghave begun to impinge seriously on certain parts of academic budgets ,and their impact will surely be greater in the years ahead," the report poillts out. Last year's AAUP report on the Economic Status of the Academic Profession described the academic year 1971 - 72 as "the worst year so far," in the IS-year history of the survey. That report said that the downward trend in salary and compensation increased in the face of sharp rises in livingcosts had led to a significant erosion of the real income of the average faculty member. This year's statistics indicate that the year 1972 represented some improvement in faculty compensations but that these modest improvements may be eroded in the immediate future by the high rate of inflation. The 5.0 percent compensation, however, is, with the exception of last year, the smallest increase in all other recent years. increase - 73 in "The real (constant dollar) value of the average faculty salary remains below what it was three years ago and the prospect of greater reduction in the years ahead is unmistakable," the AAUP said. stringency "This prospect is the joint product of too few funds available and too high a rate of inftation. There is nothing in the factors surrounding the academic market place that promises a reversal of the conditions of and exigency that face both public and private institutions of higher education and thus also their faculties. If we are to be spared a resumption of the process of salary erosion, we must rely on the success of the efforts to control and reduce inflation," the report points out. The report also observes that the highest salary increases this year were won by those faculty members who were lured to new positions rather than those who stayed their present faculty positions. in Watergate The American Association of the University Professors adopted following its ann ual resolution at meeting in St. :i.ouis, Saturday, April 28 . .

It is this expertise that Miss Edwards hopes to use in a public schools speech and hearing she "svmeday"plans to Write. "I.want to get down to the real nitty-gritty of the field in a book," she said. textbook that According to her, this writing task will have to be postponed for a while. "I am currently involved in writing a history of the growth and development of MSU's Speech and Hearing Clinic," she said. Miss Edwards said that her lifetime hobby has been working with young children with language disorders. "I have learned that the needs of the child are more important than the needs of a textbook," she said. "Often schools schedule speech correction when a child is doing interesting or entertaining. This makes the speech correction unlikeable to the child. You should always place the child's needs first." something Miss Edwards said that she has watched the growth of the University and the growth of her field. When she first came to MSU in 1945, there were 12 students in a methods class for speech and hearing. "This year we have approximately 275 students in speech and hearing," she said. During her years in the department, Miss Edwards has placed and supervised students in every section of the state. She has also given clinics in speech teachers correction classroom through the Continuing Education Service. for (Baker's labs include mink ranchl Page 5, May 3, 1973 thinks Rollin Baker the general citizenry ought to know that milk doesn't come in bottles. And that mink coats are made from 55 pelts - 55 furry, unfriendly animals are raised and skinned soley to coat one woman. that Tapping on the paneled wall of his office, Baker explained the urban-bound people of today are not aware of the processes a product goes through before it reaches the consumer. For this reason Baker, director of the museum, accepted an offer to teach Zoology 301 about five years ago. With the help of. graduate assistants, the course was changed from a birds and nature course to one that stresses nature and man. There is no textbook for Zoology 301. Baker said that in the old zoology textbooks, the last chapter is devoted to man. "We make man out to be a complete spoiler, but man is just one of the inhabitants of the earth. The w.eak fall where they may and some of the species of animals and plants had to go. With land-use practices, something will be destroyed . "But there should be a place for everything ... even the wolves and the grizzly bears," he continued. to Baker refers the ecology movement of the age and the number of courses available on campus connected with environment and man. He labels the lecture part of Zoology 301 as "just another mickey mouse ecology course." the once-a-week (attended faithfully even during the Spring 1969 strike) which provide students with the ~'earthy" aspect of · our environment. Nature is the textbook. it out are singles What trips field In high school, Baker had a course that took him on field trips to an insane asylum and a water plant. They had a tremendous impact on his understanding. He felt that a course of this nature was needed for the general student who rarely gets out in the field. And at MSU, a class can actually walk away from the classroom to look at various aspects of nature in a two-hour lab period. So at the mink farm, his students watched the skinning of a mink. They learned that mink farming and breeding takes pressure off of the wild miok - therefore providing an example of h~w A barn toms classroom for Rollin Baker's (left) zoOlogy course. man can work with nature to fulfill his needs and desires without harming his environment. The Animal Breeders Cooperative, Inc. provided students with a second interaction with example of man 's nature. A tour of the bull pens, slides and discussion on artificial insemination showed students the first step to our improved meat and dairy products~ The term schedule also includes trips to the Lansing Sewage Disposal Plant, the ' Carl G. Fenner Arboretum, the diagnostic laboratory at the College of Veterinary Medicine, the Pesticide the Muck Research Center, Experimental Farm, and Rose' Lake Wildlife Research Station. Baker holds membership in over 35 societies (from the Wildlife Society to the Animal Behavior Society and the Human Ecology Society), has traveled and done field research since 1936 (in North Africa, the Carribean, Wyomiog, Colorado, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica ... ), and has over 114 pUblications to his credit (from "Are hunting laws fair to squirrels?" to a recib~;;f9;~~~ 'Sausage in "The Explorer's Cookbook"). Because " a professor doem't know every~g," Baker feels ~~ the labs give studen.ts an oppo~ty to be expo~ed . to experts io all fields of en viro nmental education.

He often comes to class with boxes of stuffed mammals. Besides their use as an illustration, they create a diversion and the students interested. Baker keep the students imagines wondering, "What's that crazy guy goiog to have today?" Baker informs his 120 students the first class period that they will gain a different viewpoint and appreciation for the more earthy aspects of man and nature involvement, that as citizens the course will introduce some things that will be of assistance in voting with today's environmental platforms. He keeps his word. -JANICE HAYES .' LWYDCOFER Cofer' is . elected ...... t Uoyd M. Cofer, consultant to the I ; provost at MSV and a trustee of Central . Michigan University since 1963, has been named chairman-elect of the Washington~based Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB). His election was announced Monday at the National Conference on Trusteeship in San Francisco attended by some 600 trustees and regents. The election places Cofer in line to become chairman of the AGB Board of Qiiectors in 1974. ' " Cofer is a native of New York City and a gradua~ ,of Tufts University in .Massachusetts and . Wayne State lJnlve~~ity in Detroit. An educator since 1930, he has also been active in church and youth activities for many years. , The AGB is a nOnp'rofit, higher education association founded in 1964 to 'provide infonnation and services to trustees of all types of institutions of higher education. Cofer, active in the association for a number of years, is a member of the board of directors and the program committee. {eclions: repository for University's records initially passed in 1858 but who were absent due to the Civil War when it actually became law in 1862." (The bill was passed by both houses in 1858 and 1859, but was vetoed by the President James Buchanan. It was passed again in 1862 and signed by Abraham Lincoln.) It was also whikCombs was working in Hannah's offic.e that he recognized that the University's own records, many ,of which were of historical significance themselves, were not organized in such a way to insure against some valuable documents, being discarded once there was no mo{~' use- for them. "It was.:ail too common, and still is, that when fIle space was needed the oldest papers were thrown out to make room for current needs," Combs says. "In the process, many significant documents were being lost." Since taking over the responsibility of preserving the University's records, Combs has served as a funnel for old documents, collecting from departments and other units, sorting out the valuable papers and destroying the useless ones. them "Few people realize the expense involved in storing old records in office files," he says. "By one estimate, it costs about $5 per year per cubic foot to store recor51s in prime office space. We can store the same material for between 40 and 60 cents per year." He points out that with the vast number of documents generated by a from University the size of MSU, it becomes necessary purely financial standpoint to weed out those records that have no current use, long range administrative value, or historical significance. a But the transfer of records to the center does not make them inaccessible to the original holder. Arrangements can be made to have them retrieved as needed. Although the Historical Collections and Archives ate housed in the Library, they are jointly administered by the Offices of the Provost and the Executive Vice President and Secretary to the Board of Trustees. This is because research value, the most visible purpose of the collections, is only one reason for . their existence. The archives also contain records that are required by law to be preserved, and these materials are sometimes used for administrative purposes. The materials do not circulate. Access to them is limited due to the fragile condition of many of the documents and, frequently , by confidential restrictions placed on them. University officers, staff, faculty, alumni and other donors may specify the restriction placed on their personal "sealed" papers. They may be (completdy unavailable for processing, usually specified number of years), "closed" (processing permitted but use only through written for a even the discretion of permission of the donor), "restricted" (access at the archivist), or "open" (access controlled only by the physical condition of the record). The Archives contains collections ranging from individual letters to the massive compilation of former President Hannah's papers that involves between 150,000 and 180,000 pages: detrimental Precautions are taken to see that the documents placed in the archives are not needlessly to individuals. Administrative records of the Health Center, for example, are records are included, ~ but patient destroyed &,v-hen they serve no further purpose. Similar care is taken with records of the Department of Public Safety. to insure Combs has two ongoing concerns: he wants that all significant University documents are collected and preserved, and he wants to expand the size the Historical Collections. scope of and Through memorandums to department chairmen , deans, administrators and office managers, he has emphasized importance of the contacting his office before old documents are away or destroyed. He also encourages anyone associated with the University to donate their papers to the archives. thrown Combs says that part of the work of the archivist today involves a records management and control function. To assist offices on campus in the handling of records, he and his assistants have prepared a "Records Control Manual," that will be distributed to University offices within the next few weeks. that One of the objectives of collecting is to fill in the chinks in recorded history. The processing of the Hannah papers there were gaps, not revealed chinks; in recent University history. In an effort to fill in some of those gaps, Combs sent letters to all retired faculty members and officers, asking that they write reIDlDlscences of MSU, not confming themselves to the Hannah era alone. Supplementing this effort, James H. Denison, retired assistant to the president for university relations, is enlisting many retirees in making tape recordings of their reminiscences to establish an oral history collection. In expanding the Historical Collections, Combs is hampered by lack of funds and competition from other universities in the state. "We are losing out in the collection of documents off campus," he explained. "The University of Michigan and Wayne State University have full - time collectors in the field and Western Michigan and Central Michigan have part time people. We have none," Hopefully, this situation will be corrected within the year, he said. -MIKE MORRISON Page 6, May 3, 1973 C.
