MSU scientists  elected to posts 

MSU  scientists  were  elected  to  two 
out  of  six  presidential  offices  at  the 
recent  annual meeting of the Federation 
of American  Societies  for  Experimental 
Biology. 

The  federation  meeting  was

we  deal with different kinds of groups," 
he  said,  but  the  obligation 
toward 
properly  defined  excellence  "must  not 
waver." 

He  said  that  those  traits  making  up 
excellence  -
achievement,  growth  and 
wisdom  - I are  more  likely  to  enhance 
human equality than to erode it.

MSU  is  the  winner  of  an  "academy 

award" of sorts. 

It's not an "Oscar" but an "Ivy" and, 
it  holds  as  much  esteem  as  the  movie 
award to its winners. 

The  Ivy  has  been  bestowed  on  the 
Department  of  Dormitories  and  Food 
Services  by the pUblication  "Institutions

magazme of the profession. 

According  to the  magazine,  an  Ivy is 
awarded  for  efficient  operation,  staff 
attitude,  quality, 
service, 
cleanliness, dollar volume, design, decor, 
and  creativity.  "But  the  Ivy  winner  is

Thorburn said he is  pleased that MSU 
was  selected  as one of the ten 1973 Ivy 
Winners.  "This is  an  award  that reflects 
the  excellent

member  of  the  department,  but  for

"Other institutions  have  told  us  for 
years  that  we  are  a  leader  in  food  and 

dormitory  services,  and  now  we  have 
been  finally  recognized  as  a  leader," 
Thorburn said . 

Thorburn  has  been  with 

the 
University  for  18  years.  He  began  as  a 
4-H  agent  in the  Cooperative  Extension 
Service  and  served  for  16  years  as 
manager  of  food  services.  He  has  held 
his  present  position  for  the  past  three

Underwood  said  that  one  of  the 
reasons  MSU  can  provide  excellent 
service  is  the  auxiliary  services  offered 
within  the  department.  This  includes 
the  laundry,  the  food  stores  (where 
meat  cutting  is  done)  and  the  food 
preparation  center  (where  salad  and 
vegetable items are prepared). 

Thorburn  said  that MSU has a highly 

decentralized management system. 

"Each unit manager is responsible for 
every aspect  of food service and lodging 
in  his  hall.  They  are,  in  general,  ,very 
creative  and  enterprising.  Each O1.le  has 
his  own  ideas  and  implements  his  own 
innovations,  particularly

Checking teaching 

The  teacher  opens  his  biology book 
and  the students all follow suit. Then for 
the  next  hour  he reads, almost word for 
word,  from  the book,  his  droning  voice 
lulling  the  students  into a trance. "This 
just  isn't  good  enough.  This  isn't  what 
science  is  about,"  says  David  Cohen 
somewhat 
"We  act 
impatiently. 
completely contrarily  to developing  the 
utmost  capability  of  children,"  he  says 
in his Australian accent. 

Cohen is a professor of  education. at 
MacQuarie  University  in  North  Ryde, 
Australia,  and  he  lives  in  Turramurra. 

Both  are  just  outside  Sydney,  and  he 
can't  understand  why  the  room  clerk 
here can't spell Turramurra. 

He's not new  in  the United States 
- he  was  here  at  MSU  from  1962 
through  1964  working  on  his  doctoral 
degrees- and  many  memories come back 
as  he  revisits  the  campus.  But he can't 
help  talking about Australia and Sydney 
which has "the most beautiful harbor in 
the  world."  He  has  been  away  only 
three weeks. 

He's  excited  about  his  work  at 
MacQuarie,  but  he  wishes  some  other 
educators and  scientists  would  join him 
in  finding  ways  to  measure  if  teaching 
objectives are being met. 

"It's  been  in  our  'too  hard  basket' 

for too long," he says.

To the editor: 

After a decade of struggling to obtain 
an  art  library  for  MSU  - one of the very 
few  major  universities  which  has  been 
without  one  - art historians  on campus 
are  delighted  to  learn  from  the  MSU 
News  - Bulletin  (April  26)  that  these 
efforts now .make  more easily accessible 
the  academic  community 
to 
"information  on  the  lives  and  loves  of 
artists  like  Pablo  Picasso,  Vincent  Van 
Gogh,  and  Leonardo da Vinci." We look 
forward  to  a  similar  article  on  the 
science  library  and  its  collection  of 
books on the lives and loves of Johannes 
Kepler,  Gregor.  Mendel,  and  EririCo., 
Fermi. 

In the meantime, prospective users of 
the  art  library  shOUld  be  informed, that 

the  25,000  volumes  on  the  history  of 

art  and  a.r~hite cture  are  being 
temporarily  stored  on  shelves  in  the 
ordinary  way,  as  the  giant  coffee table

Environment  effects  of  re~ycling ',~age . plant 
waste  water will  be intensively researched through a 
$326,000  grant 
to  MSU  from  the  Rockefp.ller 
Foundation. 

The  grant,  announced  Monday  by  Milton  E. 
Muelder ·  vice  president  for  research  development, 
will  fu~d  the  research  for  which  a  $2.2  million 
facility  that  includes  lakes,  wells  and  inigation 
equipment is being built at MSU. 

"We  will  have  the  world' s  finest  facility  for  the 
study  of  waste  water  reclamation  and  nutrient 
recycling,"  said Muelder. 

"With 

the  support  of 

the  Rockefeller 
Foundation, we expect to  mount  a research project 
that will match the quality of the facility." 

When  the  project  is  completed  in  August,  about 
two  million  gallons  of  waste  water  from  the  East 
Lansing  sewage  plant will  be  piped daily to the site. 
As  water  flows  through the  lakes, impurities will 
be  removed  so  that  water  in  the  fourth  and  fmal 
lake  will  be  pure  enough  for  fishing  and  other 
recreational purposes. 

The facilities  have  been designed  to allow MSU' s 
Institute  of  Water  Research  (IWR)  to  monitor  the 
effects of the project on the environment of the 500 
- acre area. 

Specifically,  researchers  will  use  the  Rockefeller 
grant, which is expected to be approved by the MSU 
Board  of Trustees  at  its  May  25  meeting.,  to  study: 
*Whether  the  water in the final lake is really free 
of disease - causing germs, including the most elusive 
viruses. 

*Chemistry  of 

the  water,  particularly 

the 
amounts  of nitrates  that  it contains as it leaves each 
lake  and  the cycling of nitrates from water to plants 
to soil. 

*Hydrology,  what  happens  to  the  water  table 
when  the  amount  of water  in  the  area  is  doubled 
(perhaps even tripled). 

" Similar  types  of  facilities  for  recycling  waste 
water  are  being  tried  or  proposed  by a  number  of 
cities," said  Robert C.  Ball, director of IWR. 

"The important point about  this project is that it 
is  so  designed  t o gain the data we need t o determine 
whether or not it  is  really  a  good system and under 
what circumstances it should be used." 

The  waste  water  to  be  piped  to  the  lakes will be 
taken  from  the  approximately  10  million  gallons 
that  flow  daily  into  the  Red  Cedar  River  from  t.he 
East Lansing sewage plant. 

This  waste  water  would  normally  be considered 
"safe" in  terms  of disease - causing germs. However, 
it  contains  m:my  nutrients,  such  as  nitrates  and 
phosphorus,  which  stim.ulate growth of water weeds 
t hat,  in  tum,  choke out other  forms of aquatic life. 
In  the  MSU  series  of  lakes,  however,  the waste 
water  chemicals  will  be  taken  up  by aquatic  plants 
which  will  be  harvested  and fed to livestock or used 
to  fertilize  farm  fields.  Water  from  the  lakes  will 
also be used in spray irrigation projects. 

Water  and  nitrates that trickle down to the water 
table  underlying  the  area  then will be  monitored by 
mans  of a series of 50 wells drilled  to varying depths 
and  strategically  located  around  the 500 - acre  plot. 
Construction  is  being  paid  for  with  the  aid  of 
funds  from  the  state,  the  federal  government  and 
t he  Ford,  Kresge  and  Rockefeller Foundations. The 
project  isheaded  by Howard  A.  Tanner,  director of 
natural resources  and  assistant director of IWR with 
the  support  of  Robert  C.  Ball,  director,  and  other 
IWR, staff.

IMicroclimate' 

Some  of  the  unusual  beauty  of  MSU's  campus 
derives  from  the  fact  that  its  microclimate  is  an 
entire zone warmer than the surrounding area. 

This  microclimate,  due in part to  heat  radiation 
and  windbreak  provided  by  campus  buildings, 
makes  it  possible  to  cultivate  trees  and  plants 
impossible  in  the  area,  according  to 
normally 
George  Parmalee,  curator  of .MSU's  Beal  Gardens 
and campus woody plants. 

Shelter,  plus  radiation  from  masonry  buildings, 
streets  and  walkways  makes  the CIIIq)\E five to  ten 
degrees  warmer  than  nearby  territory,  he  told  the 
campus planners meeting recently in Kellogg Center. 
Parmalee said that MSU  campus planners, in their 
interest  in  multipurpose  planting  -

well  as  providing  setting  for  teaching,  research,  and 
some

Arthur  F.  Brandstatter,  school  director,  said 
increasing  awareness  of  the  crime  problem  and 
gro wing  fmancial  support  from  Washington  for

for the continuing heavy demand for enrollment . 

"We will not have  room  for  more ,than  88  or 89

maintain  a  high quality  of education and  training." 
Some  200  applications  have  been  received,  he 
said.  Selection  of  those  accepted  was  based  on 
grades  and  answers  provided  to '  questionnaires 
dealing  with  career  goals,  attitudes  and  other 
factors . Notices have been sent to all applicants. 

Graduates  or" the  school in  1972 - 73, including

Pygmy skunks 

Pygmy  skunks  are  not  only  small,  striped  and 

odiferous if angered, they are kind of cute. 

Rollin  Baker,  director  of  the  Museum,  and  his 
staff members  captured  four  of them last  summer 
during a  zoological expedition  on the western coast 
of Mexico. 

According  to  Baker, a  professor  of zoology,  the 
skunks  are  the  first  of their kind  held  in  captivity. 
He  and  his  staff are  studying 'their eating,  breeding 
and general  living  habits. 

"We've  been  trying  to  get  them  to  reprodUGe 
since  we  captured  them  last  year,"  said  Baker. 
"Now  that  one  of  them  is  pregnant,  we  are  all 
sitting  around  like  expectant  fathers waiting for the 
big moment,"  he added. 

Meanwhile  Baker  and  his staff are also  trying  to 
determine  whether  these  skunks  undergo  delayed 
implantation like skunks found  in. the U.S. 

"Delayed 

implantation,"  Baker  explained, 
"involves  a  fertilized  egg  which  remains  queiscent 
unt il  later  h.ormonaf  activity  triggers  embryonic 
development.  This  hormonal  acitivity  may  take 
weeks or months and  results  in  the female  carrying 
her young a long time. 

"Because  of this delay,  skunks  in the U.S. breed 

once a year," according to Baker. 

Because  they  are  small  and  have  more  enemies . 
than the larger  U.S.  skunks,  Baker belie.ves  that the 
pygmy skunks breed more than once a year. 

One 

fact  became

The  remaining  dilemma  for  women

Faulkner  criticisms  collected in  new book 

"Wi1liam  Faulkner:  Four  Decades  of 
Criticism,"  ed.  by  Linda  Welshimer  Wagller.

Ernest  Hemingway  and  William 
Faulkner,  America's 
foremost 
writers  of  recent  times,  reacted  very 
literary  criticism. 
differently 
Hemingway  despised  critics; they  were, 
he  fumed,  "the  lice  that  crawl  on 
literature."  Faulkner,  on 
the  other 
hand,  dabbled  in  criticism  himself.  For 
his  own work,  he asked only that critics 
"Live and let live; criticise with taste for 
a criterion." 

Linda Wagner's anthology does a fine 
fenerally 

job  of  documenting 

the 

laudatory  critical response  to  Faulkner. 
(Hemingway,  o'f  course,  fared  less  well, 
though  such  might  not  have  been  the 
case  had  he  been  less  vocal  in  his 
distaste  for  the  critical  temper.)  This 
collection,  the latest in a series, contains 
new  essays,  an  additional  section  on 
Faulkner's  early  work,  and  an 
introduction by the author. 

-

Professor  Wagner's  approach  to  the 
anthologization  of criticism is  historical. 
The  essays 
included  here  appeared 
between  1939  and  1971,  and  represent 
the evolution  of reviewers perhaps more 
reliably than  the evolution of Faulkner. 
The  critics  themselves  are  for  the most

to  convince  his 
Joseph  Gold 
readers  that  the  Snopes  symbolize  not 
evil  forces  in  the  universe  but,  in  fact, 
are  merely 
typical  of  denizens  of 
Yoknapatawpha  County.  He goes about 
intellectual  backflip  not  by 
this 
ascribing  positive  traits  to  the  Snopes, 
but  by  derogating 
the  collective 
character  of 
their  neighbors.  The 
villagers  are  no  better than  the  Snopes, 
according  to Gold, because they "fail to 
act  in  opposition"  to  the  Snopes,  and 
worse  yet  "passively  cooperate"  with 
them.  And  he  cites,  among  others,  the 
scene  in  "The  Hamlet"  where FIem and 
the  Armisteds, 
the  Texan  swindle 
quietly watched by neighbors who knew 
what was going on. 

jealously  guard 

Only  a  Southerner  can 

fully 
appreciate  the  absolute  silliness  of  this 
argument.  (I  speak  from  a  Mississippi 
boyhood.)  In  the  South,  as  nowhere

else,  people 
inalienable right  to  make bitter fools of 
themselves; and would rather do so thaD 
be  interfered with even by their  closest 
friends,much  less  mere  acquaintances. 
Right  or  wrong  (  and  I  suspect  it is 
right),  Faulkner  elevates  minding  one's 
own  business  to  the  plane  of  a  moral 
imperative - and  it is  significant that so 
many  of  his  sympathetic  protagonists 
are  passive characters.  Faulkner himself 
owed  allegiance 
this  ethic  of 
to 
noninterference. 

Eudora  Welty  tells  the  story  of  the 
aspiring  lady novelist who sent Faulkner 
her  manuscript.  After  some  weeks  she 
"Mr. 
telephoned 
Faulkner,"  she  said,  "did  you  ever  get 
that love  scene I sent you?" Yes,  he had 
got  it.  And  she  said,  "Well,  what  did 
you  think  of  it?"  And  Faulkner  said, 

in  Oxford. 

him 

"Well,  honey,  it's not  the way  I'd  do  it 
:....  but you go  right ahead." 

At  any  rate,  balanced  against  Gold's 
artifices  are  real  eloquence  ("William 
Faulkner,"  by Robert Penn Warren) and 
rare  insight  ("The  Reivers:  Faulkner.'s 
Tempest,"  by  William  Rosky).  The 
latter,  incidentally,  is  the  only article  I 
have  run  across which ascribes  to  "The 
Reivers"  what is probably its true depth 
and importance. 

in 

I  suppose  writers  will  continue  to 
their  acceptance  of 
equivocate 
literary  criticism,  but  "William 
Faulkner:  Four Decades of Criticism" is 
the  sort  of  collection  that  Faulkner 
himself, at least, might have enjoyed.
