Schrank, assistant professor of human environment and design, has first been Academic Administrative Internship for Women. fill MSU's selected to Created as part of the University's affirmative action program for women, internship was one of 21 the recommendations made by the administration last July to improve the status of women on campus. Miss Schrank will serve as an administrative intern working with Dean Lois A. Lund of the College of Human Ecology during the coming academic year. A member of the faculty since 1970, she holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Stout State College, Menomonie, Wisconsin, and a doctorate from The Ohio State University. She was a high school teacher in instructor at Joliet , Illinois and an Heidelberg College, Tiffin, Ohio, before coming to MSU. The College of Human Ecology was selected for the first internship because it has more women in the tenure stream than any other campus unit - 84.2 percent. The internship program is designed to give women an upportunity to participate in administration and help them determine if they want to pursue an administrative career. In announcing the program earlier this year, Dorothy Arata, assistant provost, said the purpose was not to train administrators, but to "provide a situation where a woman can identify with top level administrators and have the opportunity to demonstrate to herself that she can carry this type of responsibility.

We take stock, count our gains, measure our losses. We of look back and say, "Where have we been?" . During 1972 - 73, Michigan State University has witnessed important developments and innovations. Let me mention just a few. * The Academic Council has voted to begin a review and evaluation of the academic governance system. I think we Public health prograflls aided by Kellogg grant A grant of $535,526 has been awarded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to assist the College of Human Medicine and College of Osteopathic Medicine in developing a cooperative program to improve the delivery of public health services in three of Michigan's local health departments. Formal accept-ance of the Kellogg today's funds is anticipated at the meeting of the Board of Trustees. Administrator of the four - year grant will be the college's Office of Health Services , Education and Research. Expected to eventually outline new dimensions for the state's public health system, the health department - MSU partnership also will provide expanded training for students in the College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Human Medicine. The new program brings together cooperative effort from the Michigan Department of Public Health, the two MSU medical colleges, and three local multi-· county health departments: * Barry - Eaton and Ionia Associated . Health Departments, * Thumb District Health Department (Tuscola and Lapeer counties), * Branch - Hillsdale - St. Joseph District Health Department The Kellogg grant , which contributes about half the total cost of the project, the received by funds will match University through contractual relationships with local and state health departments. A . regional team - a public health administrator and a public health physician - will be appointed to work with the present staff members in each local health depart:nent. Each team will have medical - administrative functions that for include education and evaluation. responsibilities Objectives of the program are to : strengthen state and local relationships; study alternative models for public health administration; improve retention of public health administrative personnel, and expand education of MSU medical students. Gose collaboration between the regional public health teams and the MSU medical faculties will enable broad use of University resources in solving local health related problems. Physician team members will hold joint appointments as members ()f the MSU faculty and as employees of the local health departments . The Bureau of Community Health, Michigan Department of Public Health, will participate in the continuing education, and professional development (Continued on page 2) Trustees agenda set The tentative agenda for the today's Board of Trustees meeting has been set to include: 1.

By evaluating their educational objectives and the degree to which those objectives have been met, we hope to contribute to the continuing improvement of the residential learning experiment. * The College of Urban Development instructional has moved closer operations, with formal trustee approval of two departments, their faculties, an acting dean, and two acting department chairmen. A Search and Selection Committee to recommend a permanent dean has gotten underway and first classes will begin this fall. to * The Academic Council, through several of its standing committees, has set in motion a major revision process relating to Michigan State University's general education component. The process, in all likelihood will evolve over strengthening and several years, institution's this renovating commitments to the arts, humanities, and social sciences. * Governor Milliken has included in his 1973 budget message a recommendation for $688,000 for a College of Law at Michigan State University. Pending favorable action by the legislature, a freshman class could enter as early as January 1974. * The Center for Environmental Quality has moved further toward the integration of its commitments into the courses and activities -of academic units throughout the University:' Additional dimensions of environmental instruction and research are currently emerging from such projects as biological control and pesticide programs; ecosystems mana~ement programs; and investigations into urban and agri - industrial product recycling. for * Planning the proposed Performing Arts Center has gathered momentum.

The MSU data processliig centers on three areas: student records, University Business Office, and the catchall University General. Student records are handled for admissions and the registrar, with every student's records kept up to date. The business office data related to some 50,000 checks a month, 18,000 statements a month, 16,000 student scholarships a tenn, 18,000 accounts receivable a month, 44,000 students term, and other business fees processes. a University General includes alumni records, about a million item analyses a month, weekly data on 2,500 apartments in married housing, and weekly reports on 19,000 residencies of students in halls, and the total library circulation control system. Data Processing also serves 104 departments as billing points with a combined work load of about dne - fifth of the data processing capacity. Martin says that, from the start, the MSU data process computer system has honored privacy. A "hard - wired" system is used with the 25 terminals located on campus; such a system allows operators at terminals to get only the D uri n g the past year, Athletic Council gave attention intercollegiate programs for women. the development to the continued of Charles S carb orough, associate professor of natural science and vice chairman of the Council, reported the group's activities at the May 16 Academic Senate meeting. the According report, to recommendations by the council for administrative and financial support for women's programs were made to the administration.

The review for the three residential colleges has been completed, according to Cantlon. "This review was mandated to take place after each of the colleges (Justin Morrill, James Madison and Lyman Briggs) graduated their first classes. Although"Justin Morrill is seven years old, we decided to wait and do the review both as a composite of the three together , and individually," he said. He stated that the results of the review indicate that all three residential colleges have a very high quality of instruction. "The colleges attract classes of above - average students, and the students seem well pleased with the curriculum," he said. One of the main problems, according to Cantlon, is the high cost of these low production courses~ "We have to find a means for rectifying this situation," he said. On other information, Cantlon reported on the day - long workshop held March 24 for departmental chairmen and outlined the plans for a fall workshop. According to Cantlon, the workshops Frank B.

But nationally, he adds, the gap is even wider, or about $2,200 per family. Verway's report is contained in the latest issue of the Economic Record. Using figures from the 1970 national census, the latest available, Verway notes in 1969, Michigan Spanish - speaking families had a median family income of $9 ,800, compared with $11 ,300 for the total white population. that But he points out that those Spanish - speaking families are also larger than average - 4.27 per household compared with 3.26 for the state as a whole: ' "Consequently, the gap in income per family . m~mber is Ielat ively larger," he adds.

Jesse Jackson, director of Chicago - based Operation Push, addressed several hundred students and faculty and staff members Friday in the Auditorium in a program sponsored by Project Grapevine. The former associate of the late Rev. Martin Luther King focused on morality in government and decried the lack of moral leadership indicated by such events as the Watergate scandal. "At the highest levels of political authority in the country, the'iights have gone·out," he told reporters in a press conference preceding his speech . During the speech , he said tliat society was in what he called a "civilizational crisis" and that blacks in America could not afford to remain in the "trunk" of the "car'" that is society while present leadership in America drives it over a metaphoric cliff. "Even though we are a numerical minority," he said, "we do not have to represent a minority in morality. " He told black students to leave the University not merely with a degree , but with the information needed to become a stronger factor in the political and economic systems of society. Accompanying Jackson was the 100 - member Push Gospel Choir that brought the audience to its feet several times in its 45 - minute prologue to Jackson' s talk.

' Alan Fri~~~ says " winners are usually able to tak~ res~onslbility for their own actions very well while lOSIng athletes tend to blame factors they have no control over." This concept and others surrounding sports are being discussed as part of Frie-dman's "The Psychology of Sports" class currently being offered in Justin Morrill College. Continuing on the subject of winning athletes, Friedman said an athlete becomes"centered in himself" as a result of early positive experiences. "When parents allow a child to experience success and encourage ·him to master certain skills a positive sense of self develops," said Friedman. "Children should be taught early that striving for a goal is to be valued," said Friedman. According to him not all athletes are motivated by a positive sense of seu:. alone. "Many black athletes are geared toward the economic rewards of professional sports" said Fri~man, "while others are interested in or~ black athletes and raising their consciousness in sports," he added. Friedman and his students are developing a questionnaire for athletes and others involved in sports to examine motivation, ego development, self concept , and personality. Certain sports myths, like professional sports being the haven of equality, are also being studied by the class. . ' " The sociological implications of economics in sports is another important aspect of the study because economics is more important thim the athlete most of the time in professional sports," said Friedman. He believes sports is implicit in government becl!-use both are run by dollars and politics.

(Concluded from page 1) "Where have we been?" but "Where are we going?" For decades, teachers and the public at large have thought of education as a process tilking place with formal K - 12 school systems and campus - based colleges and universities. Yet today massive societal forces compel us to revise our concept of education. We must face, among others: * An exponential increase in new techniques, and a virtual information, reVlSlon informational explosion of knowledge; * Technological advances which are reshaping daily existence; * Rising personal expectations and greatly increased individual leisure time; * A growing awareness 0 f economically and educationally disadvantaged groups; * The mergence of new individual lifestyles. For three decades and longer, these forces gradually have gathered. Now they present us with a demand we cannot ignore; a demand for education increased that extends over greatly periods of time - for lifelong education. For Michigan State University, of course, lifelong education is no new thrust. Indeed, the very heart of the its land requirement that new knowledge and insight be made available to the widest public as soon as possible. The founders of this institution dedicated their lives to principles that are, in fact, identical to the assumptions which underlie lifelong education. concept grant lies in - This was seldom the case, however, for other colleges and universities until recently. Now, a growing national awareness of the critical importance of lifelong education has led to major the United planning projects across States. Recent efforts the include - Traditional Commission on Non Study, chaired by Samuel Gould, and the Notre Dame Study on Continuing Education and the Future. Task Foree In late 1-971, the Michigan State University Commission on Admissions and Student Body Composition, building on 115 years of demonstrated capacities, recognized this institution's significant potential as an expanding lifelong educational resource for the citizens of the state. In response to one of recommendations, the commission's I charged an All - University Task Force on Lifelong Education to investigate national and statewide issues in lifelong education, and then to suggest an effective and appropriate role for our own University. Funded by a grant from W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Task Force deliberated for an entire year before recently releasing its final report, entitled The Lifelong University. The report of the Task Force is advisory to me. During the last two weeks, my office has distributed copies to every faculty member, as well as other selected internal and external audiences. Copies have also been made available to all interested students and to the general public. ' I have directed this broad distribrtion in order to gather reactions, comments, opinions, and additional data from the widest possible variety of Michigan State University's constitutents. Once having gathered an initial reaction, I will determine whether to recommend to the Board of Trustees that it elevate the institution's priority in lifelong education .. Report Now let us turn to'the report itself. What does the Task Force on Lifelong tlie University Education suggest community? to The report's first important point is that Michigan State University already is actively engaged in lifelong education. As I stressed earlier, Michigan State U~ersity is the pioneer land - grant state. The institution, so it should come as no surprise that many of its activities have been aimed at adult citizens throughout report emphasizes, the however, that even beyond the familiar land - grant heritage, which for many years focused on agriculture, home - economics, and engineering, lifelong educational activities constitute a prime source of present institutional strength the across University. To the inner - cit)£ social worker, businessman, the K - 12 teacher, the the Detroit county commISSIoner, industrialist, or the Grand Rapids consumer group, lifelong educational activities are not merely a part of the University - the entire breadth of they are the University. Ironwood agri the The report proposes two avenues for expanding the University's involvement in lifelong education. One avenue is greater access for adult audiences to existing academic programs. To increase the Task Force provides access, recommendations for modifying admissions procedures, credit transfer, s ched uling academic and residence administrative requirements, and other policies and procedures. services, 0 f A second avenue toward expanded involvement is through the creation of programs of special new programs - relevance to the adult audiences who seek ongoing learning at Michigan State University. One recommended new program is the Bachelor of General Studies, created to meet the needs of persons who desire a flexible curriculum co m b ining humanistic studies and studies which may develop career skills. Another suggested new program is the Community Lifelong Education Project which proposes a community - based University installation designed to cooperate with public as well as proprietary institutions in identifying and addressing educational issues in 10 calities the East Lansing campus. removed from Full integration is I have the few departments three comments on The Lifelong University. First, full integration of lifelong education into the existing spectrum of college and the most departmental activities report. theme of important receive Currently, substantial budget for providing lifelong educational services. Most faculty who undertake lifelong education assignments: do so in addition to their standard duties, and usually receive compensation according to an overlOlld payment schedule. The Task Force recommends that Michigan State University tap the creative core of the University in its new role in society. allocations This does not imply, of course, that all faculty must then conduct lifelong educational instruction or research. On the other hand, faculty who choose to do so may pursue appropriate activities as a part of their regularly compensated responsibilities. The Task Force also that criteria for salary recommends adjustments, promotions in academic tenure should reflect the rank, and heightened priority of lifelong education. Cooperative arrangements Second, the Task Force recognized that the lifelong educational needs of the citizens of the State of Michigan are far too great to be undertaken by a single institution. Within the context of legal and other practical realities, therefore, the report suggests guidelines for cooperative arrangements among a . variety of public and private institutions - not only community colleges and other universities, but secondary school systems, government, and private enterprise. The is monumental long as institutions and other ed ucational communicate and cooperate, we need not worry about harmful competition. task before us so but Strategy for change than attempting My last comment is directed to the Task Force's strategy for innov~tion and change. Rather to design a complete lifelong educational thoroughly articulated with system, detailed program content, specified g e 0 graphic service areas, and enumerated audiences, the Task Force sought to initiate a "process." in constant The societal circumstances under which any educational effort takes place flux. Learning are experiences appropriate in one year may be disadvantageous for the next. In searching for a process, organizational structure, and evaluatory mechanisms changing respond that could conditions and decentralized responsibility, the Task Force displayed so phistica ted understanding of a educational change unexcelled by any regional or national planning group. to Let us look, now, beyond the Task Force on Lifelong Education, beyond its report. What are the long - range implications of lifelong education - for this University, and for others? My own experience and observations societal developments on current persuade me that higher education must, in the next twenty years, undergo alterations and major in content, approach, and structure: reVISIons * Regular learning sabbaticals for scientists, scholars, and executives; * Catch up and updating opportunities for professionals; * Training or retraining experiences for homemakers and others who want to enter or re - enter the job market; * Enrichment opportunities for the disadvantaged who are seeking a fuller participation in the entire range of American culture. Our historic vehicles such as continuing education, extension, and adult education have done yeoman's work with the resources that have been provided them. But now we must realize that the scope of educational needs to be met demand that we offer access to the entire range of University programs and capacities. Lifelong education, if it is to be an effective answer to the problems we hope to address, must be interwoven into the fabric of the total institution. To the extent that we accomplish this interweaving, lifelong education will offer us a wellspring for personal and institutional renewal. By rededicating itself to traditional lif elong educational commitments, Michigan State University will be able to resolve some of the thorny problems of the present. "Either - or" tended For example, until recently most think of career people to education and general education in "either - or" terms. Traditionally, the span of years given to formal higher learning was simply too short to provide adequate ,opportunity to acquire a broad liberal arts background and specialized career skills. The student took his choice: a course of study grounded in the humanities and social sciences, or a course of study that would prepare him for a specific occupation. Few people could combine the two, and after graduation everyone assumed that the time for education was done. Now lifelong the concept of education offers myriad avenues by which graduates can pursue both general education and career education. Lifelong education offers new vistas of learning to all, for whatever purpose. We that career no educatior education and general conflict, tho for we appropriate times in our lives for ead Implications longbr need choose think can education activities will enrich and expand the other components of the University academic program. Many lifelong educational programs will differ significantly from present instructional and research activities. It would be surprising indeed if the new programs did not begin to re - affirm traditional offerings. * In a period of declining public in higher education, of confidence lowered enrollments, and of fiscal scarcity, lifelong education may provide new vitality to the Univeristy through implementation of educational the activities perceived as relevant and useful by a much larger segment of society. Demand for and utilization of educational services will grow as public familiarity with University capacities increases. Paradoxically, in an era of declining enrollment and scarce economic resources, lifelong education may contribute to the maturation of the institution. * The University will no longer remain a "City of Youth." Diverse audiences and their philosophies and to the backgrounds will contribute growth of multi dimensional excellence - individual excellence, and institutiqnal excellence. Ultimately, this heterogeneity within the University may that overflow into the have effects wider society, fostering greater communication and understanding among peoples. Conclusion Tonight, have voiced my ,unswerving commitment lifelong to education. Tomorrow, I hope to hear your confirmation - your assertion that you, the_ faculty, students, and staff of Michigan State University have glimpsed the lifelong educational future that lies before us. to celebrate come In conclusion, we have gathered the academic tonight enterprise. We recognize to colleagues for excellence in academic accomplishment and contribution to this University. We come to assess and is reflect on Michigan State University. institution that the Michigan State University is- an ourstanding institution - far greater in its academic _ distinction and capacity, more profound in its potential, than even its own faculty, staff, and students sometimes realize. Michigan State University's academic excellence and capacity for innovation international are of national and renown. This stature is the work of many hands, long dedication and leadership in response to challenge. We should be quietly proud, remembering that we "stand on the shoulders of giants" in a long tradition. In a sense, we here are all trustees - trustees for citizens of Michigan and the nation of a proud tradition of academic distinction and of educational service. We must no only conserve but add to this inheritance. Herein lies the significance of the partnership which each of us must sustain, for without it, even the best articulated goals and priorities will not be met. No autocratic administration can achieve them. No faculty practicing intellectual isolationism can achieve them. No student body content to be the passive recipient of knowledge can achieve them. this University - But in concert, we have immense power to shape to harness and apply its full potential for greatness. This is our challenge - to match our abilities not only to the realities of today, but to the visions of tomorrow. Let me speCUlate on a few other implications of lifelong education: * New knowledge, methods, and perspectives developed through lifelong I am confident that the faculty, administration of students, and Michigan State University will meet and exceed - these expectations. Page 5, May 25, 1973 University Catnpalgn • next week The annual All University Development Fund Campaign will be held beginning next week through the end of May for faculty and staff members. In the past three years, nearly 1,000 staff members have faculty contributed more than $56,000 through the program. and allows faculty and Jack Shingleton, placement director and chairman of the campaign, says the caIJ1paign staff members financial to make • contributions to their departments at a minimum cost to themselves, and also gives a significant boost to off - campus fund raising efforts. federal tax credits Contributions can be designated to a specific department or aCCount, and state . and that accompany the gift allow the faculty or staff member to make the 'contribution at a personal cost of between one - quarter and one - third of the actual amount depending on his or her taxable income and the size of the gift. Off campus, the All - University Campaign has an impact also. "When funds are solicited off - campus among alumni and other friends of the University," Shingleton said , "one of the questions frequently asked is how well the faculty and staff support the University financially. Being able to point to this success in attracting gifts from our own people becomes a tremendous asset." Anyone wishing to contribute or ask questions may contact Shingleton at 355-9510, or the staff of the MSU Development Fund at 355-8257. A follow - up campaign will be held in the fall. Photo by Dick Weslev Beal Garden was one stop on a tour of University facilities Friday for members of the Presidents Club that emphasized the theme "'Spartan Science Spanning a Century." The Presidents Club is made up of alumni and friends of the University who have donated or pledged at least $10,000 to the MSU Development Fund. President and Mrs. Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., acted as hosts for a day - long recognition of the support given the University by club members. In addition to Beal Gardens, club members toured Horticultural Gardens, the Pesticide Research Center, crop and soil sciences exhibits, the Beef Cattle Research Center, dairy science facilities, and the Department of Food.s Science and HUman Nutrition. Members were also honored at a buffet luncheon, a reception at Cowles House, and a dinner at Kellogg Center. Formed in 1963, the Presidents Club now IlUIliJeIs 170 members. The active members have contributed or pledged a tobl of more than $4.7 million to the University during that time. In addition, 66 "In Memorium" members of the in Presidents Club have accounted for $19.9 milliott to the University. The idea of bringing club members to tampus once each year for a program highlighting different areas of the University originated with President Wharton in 1971. In a welcoming message to club members, President Wharton .said: "As Michigan State University enters a new era of activity, we hope that the Presidents Club will reflect this vitality. Hopefully, the common bond of interest in the University will provide the basis for a growing number of congenial gatherings of the membership." the MSU Development Council and Presidents Club Chairman Glenn . B. Moore, Detroit manager for Aetna Life and Casualty, said: "An avowed the objective of Presidents Club is to encqurage an ever - widening investment in gualiD'. The Presidents Club enhances the University by broadening its financial base, extending its prestige as an educational and research institution, 8I!d influencing public service resources." .Friday·s program was planned by a committee chaired by Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Moyer.

Watergate saddens veteran UPI reporter One of the few woman journalists on President Nixon'~ historic visit to China says she is saddened by events at the White House, the so - 1!alled Watergate scandal. Helen Thomas, a 30 - year veteran reporter fot United Press International, has a ringside seat to history. And from this unique perspective in the White House, she spoke recently at the annual dinner of the MSU chapter of Women in Communications about the Presidency. "Power and the exercise of it is what the Presidency is all about. But it should be above all a ~ource of moral leadership and inspiratidn. When it is less the nation suffers." She said, "for Nixon's competent, if arrogant, top aides, the landslide election - which may tum out to be the biggest steal in history - was a mandate to grab more power and to set the White House apart from the rest of the nation." Miss Thomas believes that if Nixon had held more press conferences (there have only been three in the four months following the election), he might have saved himself the dilemma of now having to present himself to the world as a man who was duped, betrayed. "For, if he had been subjected to more questioning these past many months then he would have had to determine the facts." Miss Thomas believes that the White credits House chose to assume Watergate was one newspaper's vendetta against a the di~g president. She reporters who refused to give up or be intimidated with unravelling the story. But although these days have tragic overtones, she said, "it is a joy for me to go to the White House each day. Each day is an education. It could be a trip to Peking or a telephone call from Martha Mitchell." Miss Thomas said that covering Nixon's trip to China was "the greatest story I ever covered." She feels the fact that it was all in living color on our TV sets, proves that it wa~'t "8 secret cell m~eting." "The trip was a cultural shock for all of us. Never were we so ill - prepared to cover a story. We had landed on the moon . . . sights and sounds . . . the oneness of looks. Unisex in drab blue or gray. 1 never saw a skirt or makeup on a_ woman. And you've hear d, no crime, no muggers, no beggars." "I thought Mrs. Nixon did a superb job in proving as she always does that people are the same the whole world over - only systems are different," Miss Thomas said. Her speech also inside comments on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, the Presidential tour of Russia - and Henry Kissinger's love life included Page 6, May 25, 1973 MFA exhibit begins at Kresge; International Festival ends .
