Committee selection); Faculty in Affirmative action steps outlined A report on the progress of the University's affirmative action program and efforts underway the Department of Human Relations were detailed to the Board of Trustees at its monthly meeting May 25. through reviewed relations, Robert Perrin, vice president for University steps taken since 1970 when the -University's illst written Afillmative· Action Plan was - Discrimination Policies and Procedures were approved. implemented and the Anti included Tho s e steps a reorganization of the personnel office, the adoption of a new nepotism policy, the approval of sick leave for pregnancy - related purposes, the establishment of training programs for an - office of women and minorities, the development of a posting system for job vacancies, and time the eligibility of part - employees for fringe benefits. In the academic area, Perrin pointed out, faculty vacancies are now posted, an administrative intership program for women has been established, recruiting assistance has been provided to colleges, salaries have been women reviewed in upward resulting adjustments for 138 women last year, and hiring goals have been established for women and minorities. faculty Also, the status of women's athletics has been improved, the marching band has been opened to women, and a limited day care center has been established. Perrin pointed to statistics that help measure the progress of women and minorities, but cautioned that such a yardstick was "rather impersonal and subject to misinterpretation." The figures compiled by the Office of Institutional Research showed that there are 123 more women in the tenure stream today than in 1962 (a percentage increase of 80.4), and in the rank of pr<.>fessor alone, there are now 45 more I women (an increase of 225 per cent). , The percentage of women in the tenure stream remained about constant at 10:2 between 1962 and 1970, Perrin pointed out, but has risen to about 12.2 percent in the three - years since the affirmative action program has beenin existence. Other figures indicated that, with the exception of the instructor rank, the percentage of women in faculty ranks is significantly higher than the national average. The percentage of 10 - month women professors at MSU is 11.9 compared with 6.7 nationally, Perrin said, and 17.8 percent of MSU's associate .. professors are women compared 'With 12.3 percent nationally. Perrin said it was doubtful that the goals established in 1971 calling for 14.6 percent of the faculty to be women and 6.4 percent minorities by 1974 would be met because of availability problems and a slowdown in the "record turnover, but demonstrates a genuine good faith effort to do so." that He pointed out that of the 62 faculty members in the tenure system hired since December of 1971,42 were men, 20 were women, and 15 were minorities. Perrin recruitment of remains a key said the minority women problem area. in "The reason is primarily one of availability, but I am hopeful that we can devise new methods of establishing a pool of potential applicants," he said. "The distribution of women and minorities - academic the non employemnt classifications also requires continued attention,'; he continued. "Promotion opportunities are slowed by the relatively few positions in the higher ranks turnover of incumbents, but the development of promotion ladders and the increasing numbers of women and minorities among employees should do much to resolve this problem over time." low and the Members of the Department of Human Relations reported on their activities. Chairman Joseph McMillan told the Board the department has been principally involved in organizing and building a staff since its creation last fall, and that as of next month a full staff will be on board.

Mrs. Tien, associate professor of American Thought and Language, and her husband, H. T. Tien, professor· of biophysics, are planning to spend more than two months traveling and doing research in China. They will be accompanied by the youngest of their four children. According to Mrs. Tien, she plans to investigate the role of women in' higher education in China. "I want to find out - the status of women in education, and if there is discrimination in positions and the number of positions women hold in higher education," she said. Two positions filled The appointments of a new director of the Cooperative Extension Service and a new chairman of the Department ' of Political Science were approved by the Board of Trustees at its monthly meeting last Friday. Gordon E. Guyer, professor and chairman of the Department of Entomology since 1962 will head the Co 0 perative Extension Service beginning July 1. He succeeds George S. McIntyre who will retire on that date. President of the Entomological Society of America, Guyer is currently on sabbatical leave. He has also been director of the Pesticide Research Center since its establishment in 1964. In recommending the appointment, Dean L. L. Boger of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources pointed out that Guyer is committed to MSU and the educational philosophy of the Cooperative Extension Service. "He is a proven administrator with the capacity to provide the leadership required for the service at this particular stage in its history," said Dean Boger. Guyer recently completed a term as chairman of the MSU Academic Governance Steering Committee. He has just returned from his fourth tour of A frica under United Nations' sponsorship to develop education and research in plant protection in eight countries. interdisciplinary Known approach to the scientific study of the MSU insects, Guyer Distinguished Faculty Award in 1965. He played a leading role in establishing the Pesticide Research Center involving 17 separate departments. for his received Guyer is a specialist in aquatic insects and their significance in water pollution. He has conducted extensive research in insect control and the environmental effects of pesticides. Much of his published information in more than 60 scientific papers has become basic reference material in his field. Born in Kalamazoo in 1926, Guyer received the B. S., M. S. and 'Ph. D. degrees from MSU. He began his MSU career as an instructor in entomology in 1953. As director of the Cooperative Extension Service, Guyer will also serve as assistant dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. .

Mrs. Tien also said the professors are encouraged to work with the people and are sent out to d·o such things as work in the fields or clean the streets, "so that they don't lose contact with the people. "Everybody is encouraged to join in and build the country," she said. According to Mrs. Tien, she and her husband plan to visit China with the philosophy of "trying to be one of them" not as foreign tourists. She said they have just learned that there the is a serious drought northwest region of China, and that she and her husband are going to volunteer to assist in that region.

Gumecindo Salas, director of minority programs who has been on campus only a month, said three areas would receive priority attention by his office: identifying career areas in which minorities have not traditionally participated; attracting more minority students school; and bringing more minorities into non academic areas. to graduate Josephine Wharton, coordinator of women and minority training programs, reported that 2211 questionnaires returned by clerical employees have helped identify training needs, some of which are already being implemented. One example she gave was speed writing classes offered through Lansing Business University that were made available for the first time winter term. She outlined a point, recommended career advancement: and educational enrichment program that includes the creation of job mobility through well defmed "career ladders" for each employee to progress . according to individual ability. five Trustee Patricia Carrigan asked that time be allotted at next month's meeting further discussion of affirmative action efforts since she had a for number of questions about progress made so far. Trustee Don Stevens also voiced some reservations, saying he suspected that "walls have been created to keep some departments as lily white and male as possible," and that a "club in the closet" might be necessary to enforce the Umversity's goals. Grapevine Journal In other action, the Board heard a presentation by editor George White on behalf of the Grapevine Journal. White said the newspaper would "cease to exist within days" unless its fmancial problems were solved, and asked the Board to help assure that it would continue publishing. He said the University should "stop discrimina ting" against alternative publications by collecting student taxes only on behalf of the State News, and give students the option as to which publication their $1 would go. At its finance meeting before the regular meeting, the Board appointed an ad hoc committee to explore alternative solutions to the Grapevine Journal's problems and to report at the June meeting. The committee is composed of Trustees Aubrey Radcliffe and Warren Huff, University Attorney Leland Carr, Vice - President for Student Affairs Eldon Nonomaker, Assistant Vice two President Stephen Terry, the Grapevine ~ p~ tatives of Journal, and the chairman of the State News Committee Alter~a~ive Publications. for . .. , Gif!!

"However, many of the students in higher education still came from the upper class because they had the academic know - how.

The final meeting of the council for this year will be held at 3: 15 p.m. in the Con Con Room, Center for International Programs. The announcemnt of the review committee by President Wharton will enable the committee to begin its review of the system with the purpose of strengthening academic governance and improving the student, faculty and the effectiveness of administrative participation in academic governance.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Revilla will speak at 10:20 a.m. and at 1; 50 p.m. in Room 114 of Bessey Hall. His topic will be "u .S. Colonialism in Panama." The issue of U.S. presence in Panama through its governance of the 40 - mile long Panama Canal was most recently raised in the United Nations Security Council with a resolution calling for the U.S. to relinquish all control of the Canal Zone. The resulting vote was 13 to 1 against the U.S. But the resolution failed since the U.S. exercised its veto power - althougl). only the third time it has done so in UN history . Gonzalez Revilla has been Panamanian ambassador to the U.S. for about six months. At 27, he is the second - youngest foreign ambassador in Washington. is He expected to discuss the historical background of U.S. - Panama relationships and the current Panamanian position on n~gotiations for a new canal agreement. One argument by Panama is that the U.S. is using the Canal Zone as a major American Inilitary installation. His MSU lectures will be part of the University's Great Issues Course in the University College. The morning talk will be from 10: 20 to 11: 10, and the afternoon lecture will be from 1:50 to 2:40. Although the sessions are part of regular classes, visitors are welcome to attend. Cosponsors of the Gonzalez - Revilla visit are the Latin American Studies Center and the Department of Economics. ' His appearance is being coordinated by Milton Taylor, MSU professor of economics who has done extensive fiscal research and consulting work in Panama over the past 10 years.

Ruth Useem, professor of sociology, will also the the council on meeting with report University's Tenure Committee. to The council is also scheduled for reports on State News advertising and the Women's Center proposal. Future meetings of the group are scheduled for June 18, July 2, July 16, and July 30. Future include a resolution agenda regarding professorial discriminatory remarks, job security for part - time employees, training programs for women and television programming. items Three Michigan residents were honored by the Board of Trustees Friday as "Dist~hed Citizens" at a Kellogg Center luncheon. They are, left to right, former State Senator Frank Beadle; the Rev. Mother Charleszetta Waddles, founder of the Perpetual Mission for Saving Souls of All Nations, in Detroit; and Gladys. Olds Anderson, Inc., chairman of the board of R. E. Olds Company · known for her many civic and charitable interests. Governor William G. MiJ1iken, letter cOngratulating the Board on its selection, called Senator Beadle "a man who has won the title of 'statesman' in the fullest sense for his years of in a thoughtful, active work within Michigan government." throughout Michigan The governor described Mother Waddles as a person "known for her COW, passion for others, particularly those life seems to have passed by;" and said Mrs. Anderson "has contributed greatly to a better life for countless people" through her charitable and civic endeavors. In accepting his award, Senator Beadle said, "I Tecognize in choosing me for this distinguished award, that you're honoring the legislature, which is the medium through which I was able to do some of the things for which you ate paying me tribute today." Bernitt explains informer policy Richard o. Bernitt, director of public safety, released a statement Wednesday outlining ' the department's policy with regard to obtaining and using information of possible criminal activity. _ The policy, he said, "has been subject to unfortunate misunderstandings and distortion. It is therefore important that a clear statement of this policy be issued." He made the following points: *The Department of Public Safety is responsible, to the maximuJIl extent possible, for the prevention of crime on the campus, and the detection and apprehension of those engaging in criminal acts. *The department is legally required to accept, investigate and act upon information volunteered by a citizen which would indicate that a crime may have occurred or is about to occur. *The department encourages svy responsible citizen to report information of a fIOssible crime, but it does not recruit persons to serve as informers. Information received from such persons, however, will be evaluated as part of the department's crime prevention responsibilities. *The department does not employ paid informers in carrying out its duties. *The Department does not engage in "political" surveillance of individuals or organizations, nor does it keep a'ny "political dossiers." "It is the question of how information is received the greatest results which undoubtedly the said. misunderstanding," he department does not employ paid informers; however, we would be derelict in our duties if we did not accept any information w~ch indicated the possibility of a crime. in "As noted, "With respect to the infrequent presence of plainclothes officers at some public meetings, it should be under!\tood that his has had no political connotation. Rather, it began several years ago when there was undeniable evidence that some individuals were using such meetings as a cover for carrying out criminal acts. The presence of professional police officers was deemed a necessary deterrent to crime under the conditions which then prevailed. "To the extent that such public meetings are now carried out in a reasonable and responsible manner, the department does not believe that a police presence should be necessary. However, should there be a demonstrable change in that climate, the department must take such actions as its crime prevention necessary responsibilities. to meet "The Department of Public Safety believes it has an important part to play in the maintenance of a peaceful and safe campus so that the rights of every its citizen may be protected. To meet it requires the cooperation and responsibilities, respect of all those in the University community. We hope that the policy stated here will continue to earn us that cooperation and respect." Outlook good College of Agriculture and Natural Resources graduates in 1973 can expect slightly higher starting salaries and better job opportunities than those of a year ago. This guarded optimism comes from a survey of 14 midwestern colleges of agriculture reported by David L. Armstrong, director of resident instruction for the college. "A year ago, MSU agriculture graduates received an average starting monthly salary of $717," Armstrong said. "This year they can expect $735." Strongest demands for 1973 graduates are in sales and management, food science, high school vo - ag teaching, agricultural journalism and plant science, the survey indicates. Page 4, May 31,1973 From errant beds to potatoes requests Campus telephone operators frequently go "beyond the call of dUty". in handling for the information that reach theirc onsoles, as the following article points out. It was written by Marilyn Liebrenz, a graduate student is reprinted from the current issue of the MSU Alumni Magazine. in communications, and "How do I get my hide - a - bed down?" "How long do you bake a potato?" "Could I speak to Mary? She drives a red Chevy." If you are a campus telephone operator you learn to expect almost anything. Questions have been asked on how tc. get bees out of the attic, bats out of the garage, moles out of the back yard. One request came in for an opthamologist - for a dog. Another caller wanted to know how to get rid of his girlfriend's worms. When he was given the number for the MSU Health Center he added, "No, not in her, these worms are in her trees." Eight operators are on duty to answer the assortment of requests - or transfer the calls to people who can. General information questions are given over to the Reference Desk in the Main Library. encouraged (Callers are to call 353-8700 for such information. The job of "trying to find events that no one tells us about," according to Florence Hickok, head of the Reference Desk, also includes locating places and times of final examinations which have been the printed schedule, changed from determining what books are not in the librury, estimating what time a movie will be over, and running through an entire . list of weekend campus activities). But when the Library closes, University telephone operators are again the focal point for information about MSU. A total of 34 operators keep the lines open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The size of the campus (it's a small city of more than 50,(00) seems beyond the comprehension of many callers. "I had a lady call and ask for the dean," operator Julia Gill recalls. "When I asked her which one, she became very flustered, and said, 'Oh, I didn't know you had two!'" OPerators are often asked for "Mr. Smith." Their directories contain 10 pages of listings for Smiths. Or, the caller will say, "I want to speak to Jane, she in Brody Hall." Given additional information, the operators lives can attempt to locate the person, but sometimes it's impossible. Eva Beckley, chief operator, and a 20 - year veteran on MSU phones, says once, years ago, she received a long - distance call for a man working at a fair on campus - a fair that sprawled over 500 acres. Ms. Beckley explained that individual booths did not have telephone connections. "Well," the LD operator, "you resporided certainly can page him then." says "Is that 'P' like in Paul?" "No, that's 'P' like in Pennsylvania." Srelling is a common request, presumably by students who do not have dictionaries. But June Schalow, one of the all - night operators, the operators often check Cleir dictionaries. and look up the words. Another common evening call is from students wagering on subjects such as the age of Governor Milliken (he's 51), or the name of the fifth president of the United States (James Monroe). the they call operators When answers, "We get together," says June, "and usually can come up with the answer." for the shoes? Sounds Many a frantic parent has called the operators, attempting to locate a son or daughter. Operator Maxine Barnhart remembers the time, years ago, when a mother called to say that her daughter had left her white shoes in the back of a foreign student's car, and could they like an locate impossible task, · but Maxine says they found the student lived at Owen Hall and got the shoes back. ' Other parents report having called their son or daughter's room for three days without a response. In such cases, the resident hall advisors or the campus police are notified. - Foreign students have a reputation for being among exceedingly polite even when confronted with a system that often confuses them, One operator, when giving an address, said, "that's 1623 B, like in Boy, in Spartan Village." The response came back, "I understand the 1634, but, please, what is Bee Likenboy?" the operators six, says years ago, no one would think of calling a friend after midnight except in dire emergency. Now students think nothing of dialing each other at three or four in the morning. Professors also receive an assortment of calls from stUdents about this time, and some have unlisted numbers for this reason. Obscene phone calls are extremely rare, says Eva Hartzell, a senior operator who has been in her position for more than IS years. "Sometimes a few off - color words slip out," she says, "and we just put the caller on hold for a bit." Many operators feel like mothers to the students, and they've discovered that some callers have no questions, they just feel lonesome. Cooking poses another problem for stUdents away from home. Florence · Hickok says the Library Reference Desk has had calls on everything from artichokes to turkeys. Did she answer them? "I'm sentimental about artichokes, and told the fellow what to do with them. But I don't know what happened to the turkey." Then there was the long - distance call from Ann Arbor on how to make gumdrops, recalls Operator Dorothy Blodgett. Another call came in from a lady who had a piece of meat covered with mold, but who did not want to throw it away. The call was referred to the College of Human Ecology. Maxine Barnhart had a call this fall, from a fellow who wanted to know how to cook corn. She assumed it was on the cob, and told him to boil it in water for about 20 minutes. It turned out he had a can of corn instead. innovations The operators man eight consoles they each have directories and and including resource aids handy, electronic an overhead computerized viewing screen which allows the operators to merely type the name of the person whose phone number the number flashes across the screen. is desired and such as Another student, confused by the reply of thank you, operator's usual asked, "Why do you thank me? r have done nothing for you." Operator Kathy Badgers tells the story of a fellow who called and asked about a tonky honk. "You mean a honky she offered, "a nightclub. " tonk?" Students have not changed much in the last IS years, it seems, they just call later. Operator Schalow, a mother of Although the old switchboard was replaced by a modern Centrex system more than 10 years ago, the personal touch has not been shortcircuited. Chief Operator Beckley remembers the time a man called to say he was having car trouble and would not be able to pick up his wife on time. She would be standing outside Agriculture Hall, and could the operator get the message to her? Eva got the lady's LEASE available for businessmen 'I WANT TO SPEAK TO JANE, SHE LIVES IN BRODY HALL II " --Drawing by Doug Daniels description and personally delivered the message. Term break for the students gives the operators a break, too, During busy times they must handle more than 200 calls an hour. Springtime brings more calls, since the directory listings are more out of date. Most callers do not seem to realize the equipment is modern,. because requests are often prefaced with "plug me into ... " or "do you have a directory there?" or, "while you've got the book open." Maxine Barnhart, after helping one caller, was told, "You're not a recording, you're a real live operator." The College of Business is giving assistance to small businesses through a program called LEASE in cooperation with the Center for Urban Affairs, the Lansing Model Cities Program and the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Lansing Entrepreneurial Assistance Service (LEASE) is a small student entrepreneurship business program with a dual purpose, according to David Hill, coordinator of LEASE. - classroom techniques Senior business students get a chance into to put practice fall term. They are given a set of tools to analyze a small business in a pragmatic situation, tear it apart and then put it back together again, he said. Then disadvantaged businessmen who feel that some aspect of their business is not up to par can work with a team of LEASE students winter and spring the terms difficulty, he explained. track down to Now completing its second year, Hill the program has been that feels successful. So does Robert Rosenthal, LEASE participant, who found that LEASE reinforces classroom knowledge in a real - life situation. Andrew Krutsinger, who started working with the Waste Disposal Plant in connection with LEASE, now works there full time. to LEASE provides assistance disadvantaged or minority businesses in the areas of accounting, finances, sales and marketing and management.

The geriatric jogger: a study Page s, Mar 31. J973 By W. Fred Graham Associate Pr()fessor Justin Morrill College If we cut quickly through irrelevant statistics we arrive quickly at what every geriatric jogger knows - that more men and women in the middle years are running and jogging than were two, four, or half - a - dozen years ago. _ At noon indoor track at Jenison Field'hOuse, I was intimidated a little by two small knots of aging jocks who stormed past me several times during my two - mile run. The furlong track was choked by nearly three dozen runners that particular hour, whereas half a decade ago I might well have had the surface to myself. recently on the What follows 'is not the result of a questionnaire, but distills literally scores of conversations that I 'have had with other slightly senescent runners over the past seven years. Some of these people have been steadfast, others fickle, but all of them have been motivated in self - imposed pain; but not all for the same reasons. the There For aging trackmen fall naturally into three groups, with some overlapping and changing of motivation, as will be noted in transit. are "Aerobicites," for different reasons want a who healthy cardio - vascular system, the "old jocks," who want to beat others ' and themselves in time and distance, and "quiet - time" runners (or addicts), who order their lives and regulate their days by this daily discipline. three, have discovered, can understand what motivates the others, yet all will be found on the same track at the same time. None the of I Kenneth Cooper's justly popular handbook, "Aerobics," is the Bible for that first bunch, who want to stay alive and believe running will help them. The their faith are clearly reasons exposed in that book. Suffice it here to say that Cooper believes a racing heart and laboring lungs and improved ability to use oxygen are the keys to good health and longevity. for I began as an Aerobicite before my conversion. I was thirty - five and got started after a clumsy leftfielder kicked an ordinary single I had hit in a softball game, and my dash around the bases for a cheap home run left me crippled for two weeks. Terrified that I was already headed downhill to the cemetery, I began to jog and I have never stopped. are Aerobicites like Some myself - they just don't want to be so old so fast. Like many Americans they are loathe to quit the Pepsi generation, but unlike most, they know it takes hurt and time to keep fit. that ilk take Cooper Others of they want not only to more seriously - stay healthy, but to stay alive. Running w. Fred Graham In which the author eschews purely temporal concerns about a prolonged life and a lost youth in his search for nirvana with sweat socks. N or do I anxiously peruse "Aerobics" any longer. Physical conditioning is important - I need to be able to finish my daily course - but improvement, cardia - vascular points earned, and all the gradations which ' Cooper records are irrelevant now. The day has been seized (Carpe diem, "seize the day," said St. Augustine, who must have jogged to escape the pressure of his episcopal and theological duties). The hour has renewed my world; I am saved! For the hour itself is redemptive, like time spent in your closet, or floating on your back on Walden Pond.

I am a "quiet - time runner," for whom running, like a daily period of devotions, provides an ordering point for the day. foot, It took this amateur ,investigator a long time to realize that ,this is my own motivation. I had known for a long time that I was not a competitor. When Tough John (who recently showed me each three blisters on his superimposed on the one below it - he had trotted eleven miles in 77:40 that day!), when Tough John says he'll lead me to a 20: 30 three mile, I am not even mildly tempted. ' For if I did that, then next week I'd have to run it in 19:58 - and so on, always faster or longer, "ad mortuum." But when non - runners challenge me with the possibility that running may cause arthritis of the knees or some other physical ill, I am not bothered because I run, not so much for health, as spiritual or psychological wholeness. for Your average runner needs a time to himself to order his day, to orient the minutes in a disorienting daily schedule. To the non - believer this may appear to be a mad way to stay sane. But it works. Take myself, for I am typical, not unique. I teach classes, advise students, serve on committees, try sometimes desperatel¥ to find time for reading, reflection ,~ and writing. I have a lovely wife and four delightful children who have rightful and cheerfully given claims to my time. I work with civic, church, and community groups. Like many I am tossed and bossed. people, But that hour when I take my tote bag to the locker room, change into ritual clothing, and do my two miles in sunshine or rain, over track or grass - ah, that is a healing hour, a rebaptism into newness of life, the quiet center of my day. the reason I never run on weekends, and I am life's convinced disorder is not so great when classes, committees are not students, and prowling about seeKlng to eat my life away in tiny pieces. that is is their "memento mori" (reminder of death), and they stick to it with grim determination. A friend of mine says he takes comfort in a push broom that stands in a comer of Jenison Fieldhouse. "When four," he smiles, "I'll I'm eighty - collapse over near that comer on the last tum, and you can take that broom and push me off the track. I'll be finished." Perhaps I shall someday embrace that philosophy - maybe when I'm eighly~ three _~ ~ut not just yet. The second group, the "old jocks," nave never forgotten the joy of winning. One of the more aggressive I know claims to be bewildered by a fifty - five year old veteran who runs exactly two miles in IS: 5 5 three days a week. "How can he do the same old thing over and over without boring himself into a quilted bin?" he asks. I, however, have my own problems with that jock's own regimen. Each February he recommences to drag his thirty pounds two hundred - and - laboriously around the oval. In March he allows me to pace him to a IS: 30 two mile. In April he smashes fourteen minutes, dashes a mile in 5: 35, and has his weight down to two hundred (he stands 6'5"). In May he joins a Saturday club of similar creed to his own, and by June he is running in meets. However, his vacation arrives in July, he quits running, and picks it up again next February. that Of course not every old jock is so that one. Still I have sporadic as the agony of making observed archaic muscles go faster, lungs and heart work better, is very difficult to handle psychologically, and most of the fierce competitors are not as regular over long stretches of time as their duller and slower colleagues. than the rest of us, they seem to suffer from blisters, shIDsplints, and pulled calf muscles. They are, however, real Americans. They form clubs, hold rallies (yes, they often use that stock - car designation), keep records, encourage each other to try harder and longer. "Excelsior!" is their motto. - More r am occasionally propositioned by old jocks to run in a "moonlight rally" Page 6, May 31,1973 The arts PAC entertains servicemen in Azores; BY FRED BRUFLODT ME A exhibit in Kresge Art Center While most MSU students are preparing for finals, 14 members of the MSU's Performing Arts Company (PAC) are entertaining American servicemen in the Azores with the musical, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."
