FAFCC report"page 9 ' MSU News -Bulletin Vol. 4, No. 32 Michigan State University J~e7, 1973 Advising system report spurs Council debate The creation of a new position in the Provost's Office to monitor the. advising of undergraduates was rejected by' the Academic Council May 31 by a 33~22 vote after considerable debate over how much bureaucratic machinery is necessary to insure that students are properly advised. The position, which would have been located in the Office of the Assistant Provost for Undergraduate Education, was one of the recommendations made to the council by a subcommittee of the University Educational Policies Commitee (EPC) that has been studying academic advisement of undergraduate students since October, 1971. The subcommittee reported to the council to get "the sense of the Academic Council" and its feelings on the recommendations. Final action isn't expected on all of the recommendations until next year after the report returns from committee following revisions. "Because advising is multi - faceted, involving personal as well as curricular concerns, career as well as life - style concerns, academic as well as vocational copcerns, ,there is a clear need for coordination of the system and for adequate information flows within the system and from the system to the students," the subcommittee said in recommending the new position. "Thus the committee fully endorses the concept of designating a position with responsibility for coordination and information development. This same Governance cO'nlmittee appointed The Ad Hoc Committee to Review Academic Governance was named May 31 by President Wharton. Members of the committee are C. L. Winder, dean of the College of Social Science; Donald A. Taylor, chairman of the Department of Marketing and Transportation; Lester Manderscheid professor of agricultural economics: Gerald Miller, professor communicatio~ arts; Bruce L. Miller, assistant professor of philosophy; Glen Hatcher, a graduate student in the College of Osteopathic Medicine; and Cassandra Simmons an undergraduate student majoring' in social science. The committee was selected by President Wharton from nominations from the Elected Student Council the Committee on Committees and' the Administrative Group. task force T he committee, designed as a summer to "define the purpose of academic governance" has a mid - November deadline for completing its report. The announcement of the seven - to member committee was made members of the Academic Council at its final meeting of the yea.r. person would be in a position to identify developing failures in the system and, to hopefully, could suggest action prevent the failure." for eliminating Herbert Rudman, professor of administration and higher education, called the position, asking "how much do we need this position?" Citing the growth of "bureaucracy," he added "we don't need the position." According to Rudman, "17 years ago we didn't need a provost, now we have a provost. Then the provost needed help, so we got him an assistant provost. Then we got him another, and another." He said that an office is already established to oversee undergraduate academic' advising, referring to Dorothy for Arata, assistant provost undergraduate education. "There are other ways of improving academic advising than creating a new position," Rudman said. Edward Carlin, dean of University College, said that academic advising is the responsibility of the dean's office and there is no need for another layer. "If academic advising is not being done, then tell us (the deans)," he said. Lester Manderscheid, professor of agricultural economics and chairman of the EPC, supported the position stating that is was a "staff not a line position to facilitate the role of the faculty." Following the vote, Dorothy Arata, asked that "if academic advising is in need of repair as indicated by the report, and smooth clear if a information flow is necessary; and if accountability is necessary - how's it to be done?" - Rudman said, "You do it!"

"If faculty members do not accept their advising there is no way to responsibilities, compel them," he said. In addition to creating a new position, Rudman opposed another set of recommendations concerning the establishment of full tithe advisement centers, responsible for Ptoviding direct the advisement in areas beyond specialization of units within the college. Rudman said he opposed making advisement centers mandatory.· The Council approved a "friendly admendment" calling for implementing these centers only "where appropriate." Rudman accepted this wording. the ~eport , In the almost two hours of discussion of council members reinforced the need for better personal and academic advising, and supported that tltis advising should come from the faculty. Johnson, told the council that the subcommittee's recommendations were not intended to replace the work of the faculty, but tQ ,supplel!1ent the work of the faculty. "The report enforces the concept that there must be a one - to - ~>ne relationship between faculty : and students," he said_ He added that the reasons behind the recommendations are that some faculty members fail in their responsibilities of advising the students. And that the recommendations were designed to help eliminate this problem. "There is a confusion of just what advising is," Johnson said. "It is not just the routine and mechanical aspects of course scheduling and enrolling. It is alSo answering questions for students such as 'why are you here' and 'how does it relate to the future'." He added that the recommendations particularly with concern to advisement centers are not meant as a "wedge between students and faculty" but "as a facilitator." In its report, the subcommittee defined the necessities of a desireable advising system and the responsibilites of the student, the department and faculty , the colleges and the University's administrative and supportive staffs. to the committee defines advising to enco mpass the areas of "general academic, professional/career and interpersonal/self - awareness.

Page 3, June-7, 1973 Womens Advisory Council studying tenure, other areas The 10 - week old Women's Advisory Council wrapped up its iIfth and fmal meeting of spring term on Monday with a record that shows it is still primarily identifying issues to investigate in depth. To date, the tenure system has come under 'the most scrutiny. However, the council has taken formal stands on three issues: it has urged President Wharton and the Board of Trustees to make abortions available at Olin Health Center, it has recommended that the Office of Womens' Programs publish a brochure of the women's studies courses available at MSU and it has asked the Committee Against Discrimination to sexually discriminatory investigate possible advertising in the State News. The council has focused a large part of its attention this term on the tenure system, seeking ways to ensure that women have equal access to tenure, and enjoy the academic freedom and job security it provides. Herman L. King, assistant provost, and Walter Adams, professor of economics and nahonal president of the American Association of University Professors, both addressed the council at length on the philosophy and provisions of tenure. The council is also concerned that part - time and/or non - tenured employees, many of whom are women, do not have the job security, benefits or as high salaries as tenured faculty have. Council member Ruth Useem, who represents tenured faculty, will prepare a position statement for discussion and possible action at the June 18 council meeting. Several other issues have been discussed briefly by the council - day care facilities, academic honoraries which are limited to either just men or just women, and mduate ~s:istantships for women. , The council bis drafted a statement' on discriminatory remarks which may be made by professors in, class OJ, when advising students. A proposal for the Office of Women's Programs to receive and review informal complaints is being reviewed by Mary P. Sharp, associate director of the Department of Human Relations. The proposal is seen as a step that could be taken before filing a formal complaint. ., Facing the council during summer term is a list of priorities which include consideration of a newsletter from the Office of Women's Programs, a the response Women's Center for funds and a response to the lifelong education report. forthcoming request to a from The Women's Advisory Council was created as one of 21 actions and recommendations made by the University administration last July to improve the status of women at MSU. Included in those recommendations was the creation, of a Department of Human Relations, including Offices of Women's and Minority Programs. Christine Wilson jOined the staff on Monday as assistant director of women's programs, completing the staff of the department. N'me members of the advisory council were appointed in February by President Wharton. A tenth member, Amy Mitts representing the Married Students Union, was appointed last month. Still to be named to the council is a representative of the clerical - technical, pending determination of the . collective bargaining election. Dorm increase of $25 recommended by Thorburn Lyle Thorburn, manager of the dormitories and food services has recommended that the dormitory rate for double - room 'occupancy for the i973 -74 school year be established at $4Q5 a term. This is an increase of $25 a term over the present rate, and would be effective beginning with the fall term. Thorburn said the recommended increase would help cover wage adjustments and increased costs due to improvements in the Social Security program. Also, it is anticipated that food costs over the present fIscal year will increase by approximately 21 percent. Thorburn pointed out that the rates were last increased in the 1971 - 72 school year, so that the recommended increase of 6.5 percent covers the increased costs in operations over a two - year period. In making his recommendation, Thorburn said that the fall term housing count is expected to be approximately 17,100 students, or slightly less than the opening count for the past fall term. He also recommended .that the married housing rates be increased $2 a month effective Oct. 1,1973, to a rate of $117 per month for a one- bedroom apartment and $125 per month for a two - bedroom apartment.The increase, representing less than two percent, would cover increased cost of personal services and utility expense. Roger E. Wilkinson, vice president for business and fmance, said that he will analyze Thorburn's recommendations and consult with President Wharton before making a imal recommendation to the Board of Trustees. It is expected that this recommendation will be made to the board at its June 15 meeting. Recycled, paper' Recycled paper has become a popular item with departments on campus, according to Mark Rosenhaft, director of the Waste Control Authority. Fe said a survey taken last summer indicated that 95 percent of the departments o~ campus would make use of recycled paper if it were available through General Stores. As a result, General Stores stocked 1,000 reams of white reclaimed waste paper and 400 reams of green paper with envelopes to match. As of last month, 850 reams of white paper and 185 reams of green paper had been issued. . the paper was purchased "The cost per ream is a little higher at this time limited because "Should more quantities," Rosenhaft departments request this paper, we anticipate purchasing it in larger volumes and at prices equivalent to non-recycled paper." said. in The white paper can be ordered Under stores catalog number 7P 206 and the green paper under humber 7P 207. . Neighborhood rejuvenation studied by class MSU juniors majoring in landscape architecture combined class assignments with concerns of a Lansing Model Cities agency to devise unified plans for regenerating one of the 15 Model Cities Neighborhoods in Lansing. While a particular neighborhood was studied for possible change in those sections where blight had begun, the intent of the class project was to demonstrate land planning and design problem - solving methods which could be adapted to any neighborhood where change seemed appropriate. in The enrolled st,udents were landscape architecture courses covering community design and site design for housing. Assistant Professor J. Burroughs directed their work. Working with him and the students were Pat Smith, director, and Robert Smith, assistant director of Community Design Center, an agency of Lansing Model Cities. "These studies, tied to actual community service, 'introduce the student to large scale environmental problem - solving," Burroughs said. 'They offer students real projects not Unl:ik:e what they will be doing in their professional careers, and demonstrate theory and the application of principles." 'and using The class assignme~ts dealt, with reco~tion of sound buildings, identifica~on of structurally historic sites worth preserving for community purposes; identification, of the presence and extent of blight; for facelifting of structures which required only minor improvement, great regeneration ,as needed' in other structures, and alternative housing proposals for sections where serious' deterioration already had occurered. recomrlendations Other improvements proposed were in open space recreation facilities including boat docks on the Grand River for public use, and rerouting of traffic in high accident zones. "Students and faculty can extend the resources of a university in this way," Burroughs said, "to reinforce the traditonal town - gown relat~onship. "Class and independent projects dealing with Michigan communities and urban neighborhoods are invaluable. Requests for repeat presentations of studies continue long after the particular class is limits on class projects must be over.

Weak housing laws blamed Pittsburgh, Pa., a city not unlike many other large American cities, is just as segregated today as it was 40 years ago. , In 1930, 71.6 per cent of either the whites or blacks would have had to move within the city for the hQusing to be completely integrated. By 1970, that i:tgure had dropped to only 70.5 per cent, antidiscrimination and open housing laws not withstanding. Joe T. Darden, assistant professor of geography and urban development blames weak housing laws which do little more than slap people's wrists for discriminating. He believes stronger laws and ordinances must be passed which would revoke the liceljlSes of real estate brokers and financial institutions 'found guilty of discrimination. He also believes that more black mortgage lending institutions must be established, with the ability to grant loans to any imd all black home seekers. Those recommendations and the results of his . segregation survey were recently published by D.C. Heath and Company in Darden's new ' book "Afro-Americans in Pittsburgh: The Residential Segregation of a People." Darden, who is on the Center for Urban Affairs staff, discounts the theory that blacks are free to move into better housing in white neighborhoods, but they can't afford it. "The primary cause of Afro segregation - American residential racial discrimination, not racial econoinic inequality," he says, citing what in effect is a' "color tax." Blacks .:.. must pay more than whites for the same quality of housing, he says. racism or is . . . 4, June 7,1973 MSU's , official spokesman ' retires By Ron Karle Editor, MSU Alwnni Magazine After nearly three decades, W. Lowell Treaster is retiring from the business of 'selling" Michigan State University. Treaster has been with the Department of Information Services since 1944 (heading it for the last 27 years) and llas chronicled the growth of a 3,800 - student agricultural college into largest campus. the nation's second - War II, this was an agrlculture - oriented state and we had Cooperative Extension offices in every county where we could transmit the resources of this institution to the people. By and large, we had a head start on U-M in this area. "When I came here in the forties, people would say, 'Yes, The University of Micbigan is a great institution, but Michigan State College is our school.' in "Then we were the weekly newspapers, but it was difficult for Michigan State the major dailies. We're pretty much on an even par now. to crack \ Treaster recalls how his counterparts at U-M for years delighted in referring to MS.U as the "cow college." But even then, there was always one compliment from Michigan people: " 'You sure have a beautiful campus.' As if that was the only thing we had," he says. "Now they accept us as equals." MSU's rise football power helped, too. to prominence as a "In the early days we'd go down there, get beat and swallow it, that's all. Biggie Munn changed that ." Treaster recalls a gathering in Ann Arbor with the U-M public information people after a particularly satisfying Michigan State'victory. "The host had a parakeet and 1 stuck my finger in the cage. Then he said, 'bite Him!' And it did. That hurt! You expect them to sic their dogs on you - but not their lov~birds." Over the years, the business of selling Michigan State sometimes worked too well Retirement (it's July 1, officially): a time for gQld watches 30 years of "hellos" squeezed Into 30 days of "goodbyes," speculation on what life will be like in S~a City, Arizona. Properly, it's also a time for reflection. The biggest story? co~cerned that negative publicity may ad versely affe ct the University's relationship with the Legislature. fails "It never to happen that something untoward occurs when the Legislature is dealing with our budget," says Treaster, recalling particularly the student demonstrations of the sixties. In the early sixties there was considerable concern on the part of legislators over whether some communist sympathizers should be allowed to speak on campus. "The purse strings were in the hands that year," recalls "We might have suffered of conservatives Treaster. somewhat then." But, he adds, the effects of negative publicity are "much less than some of our University people think." He contends that the goodwill of people such as Executive Vice President Jack Breslin "Is far more important than some incident on campus, because Jack shoots square with them. the - incidents don't make much difference," he concludes. it all shakes down, -"When Looking to the future, Treaster says "one of the greatest challenges for the new head of this department will be lifelong education. "Mass media will play an important part in letting the people know this is available - a service to help people in their daily lives. We must help stimulate the people." This, of course, is in keeping with the land - grant tradition which continues to guide the University in new directions. "President Wharton is the first to say lifelong involved we've been education for years," says Treaster. in stories - "I would say it was a number of the 1955 Centennial," he says. "We didn't have much prestige, nationally or internationally to that point. We were known primarily as an agricultural school and we knew we had to knock on a lot of doors to sell Michigan State." in The doors were in New York City. those doors were The men behind editors the offices of Time, Newsweek, Saturday Evening Post, Life. "We had contacts with education writers," says Treaster. "You would ask' for an hour of their time to explain and follow it up if they were interested. "When dealing with magazines with' national circulation, you must find an angle of national significance. We focused on a new system of education - service to the people of the state and education aimed at the sons and daughters of merchants and farmers, not just the elite. "The Centennial was a wonderful peg ' to hang it all on," he says. The strategy got results. The Saturday Evening Post published an editorial calling it "the centennial of an event that had consequences far beyond the vision of even the most foresighted men of that time." Commented Newsweek: "At 100, Michigan State College (originally, the Agricultural College of Michigan) is observing more than a birthday. It is celebrating triumph of an the educational ideal" "The Centennial per se, that was nothing," says Treaster. "But we had something unique at Michigan State. And it wasn't just because of our ability to sell it. "After the Centennial, MSU really took off in national prominence," he recalls, As Michigan State continued to make strides in this direction, competition with the University of Michigan for vidbility became more intense. "We've always had a feeling of says competition with Michigan," " Treaster. "It's a' healthy thing. "Over the years they've had the advantage of their health services - a common denominator as far as people are concerned. They could always get good play with the great health story. "We had the advantage of grass roots closeness to the peoe!e. Up to World Treaster was no stranger to the land - grant philosphy when he came to MSU from Kansas State University where he was assistant extension editor. He waS invited to interview for a similar position at MSU in 1944. "I stayed overnight at the Student Union Building, they had some rooms then. The Union had colored slate floors. In the room was a publication 'View book of Michigan State' called with four - color pictures. It was class as I was concerned. The next far-" as morning I woke up and heard the carillon in Beaumont Tower. "Those were the three things that really impressed me and 1 thought, 1 sure would like to work here." including himself , In 1946, Treaster took over as head a staff of 5~ of the department - pe ople, an agricultural extension editor, publications editor, news bureau editor, one full - time secretary and one half - time secretary. - "We latched on to anything here in the days when Michigan State didn't have much prestige," says Treaster. "I remember we did a picture story on a course in horse shoeing. We got inquiries on that for several years. There were jokes about special horseshoe editions. We COUldn't turn that thing off for five or six years. We didn't want Michigan to be known as a State University mrseshle college." There always exists the problem of 'the serious negative publicity University. for "When that happens," says Treaster, ",You get the facts out quick - don't try to hide them - and get it over with. "Some administrators think nothing should be said about MSU unless it's good. That's unrealistic. There will be negative things." Perhaps the most serious controversy confronting the University over the last 30 years was a charge by Ramparts magazine that MSU was involved with the CIA 'in Vi~tnam. "We called a press conference and tried to explain the facts and set the article right," says Treaster. "But you never undo that sort of thing and some people try to take advantage of a situation like that. 1 believe that the into (the Vietnam University went it was project) performing a service." really believing Many administrators, of ~~urse are Today, he overseys a department of approximately 70 employees ("This sounds bad to the legislators because they sometimes think we've got all these people just grinding out publicity") which includes writers and editors in the information, news bureau, continuing education, the photo lab, the University Editor's Office and the News - Bulletin.

CUD curriculum approved The Academic Council gave its approval May 31 for the establishment of the undergraduate program leading to a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Urban Development with two major programs ~ racial and ethnic studies and urban and metropolitan studies. The University Curriculum Committee's recommendations, which establish three core courses, one course in racial and ethnic studies, and eight in urban and metropolitan courses studies, were approved by the council. Two courses, Organization of Health Services and Critical Problems in Urban Health, both to be 'offered in urban and metropolitan studies, were questioned as a duplication of courses currently offered under health, physical eduCation and recreation. La wrence Lezotte, associate professor of educational psychology, who was involved in the curriculum report, a,dmitted that the committee had not looked at these courses for duplication in the health and physical education areas. The courses were approved by the council contingent upon resolving a possible conflict. The three college core courses approved by the council are Human Perspectives on Urbanization, Racism and Ethnocentrism and Minorities in in the American Cities. All majors college the required 12-credit core sequence. take are to The Department of Urban and three Metropolitan Studies offers program emphases for its majors: urban community development, urban education systems and urban health science.

Health care extended to students' families Page 5, June 7,J2ij -. '0'';' ...... A pilot program to provide high quality health and medical services to married students and their families will be inaugurated in September, President Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., announced last week. Wharton said the demonstration, which would be modeled after family group practice, would be limited initially to 500 student families for a one-year period. The feasibility of extending the health care plan. to other student families would then be determined after studying cost, program content and operational factors, he said. The total married student popUlation is about 9,000. in "The pilot program can represent a the tremendous breakthrough provision of health services ' to MSU students and their dependents," Wharton said. "It will provide a real to students who have been service unable to obtain adeouate health care locally for their families. At the same time, it , will maximize use of _1~ medical talent available at MSU, as well as contain an educational component for medical students." The proposal approved by Wharton was developed by the Married Students] Family· Health Care Demonstration Program Committee, and endorsed by the MSU Health Care Authority. Among those participating in the development were the College of Human Medicine, the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the School of Nursing and the Married Students Union. ,Wharton praised the students and professionals who devoted long hours to the development of the plan. First MSU DQ's graduate Sunday The nation's first D.O.s to graduate from a university - based osteopathic medical college will receive their degrees at Sunday's commencement. the first The new MSU ~ trained doctors are to graduate from an also osteopathic medical school which is part of a public institution receiving state ' support. Last year MSU graduated its flIst clasS of M.D.s from the College of Human Medicine. A total of 42 doctors of osteopathic medicine degrees will be conferred by -President Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., at 'ceremonies for advanced and professional degree recipients at 10 a.IIi. in the Auditorium. Myron Magen A profile of the MSU osteopathic medical graduates shows that 28 of the (67 percent) will be new doctors interning at Michigan osteopathic hospitals, including several affiliated with MSU, located in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Highland Park, Lansing, Madison - Heights, Mt. Clemens, and Pontiac. Others will serve their one - year internship with the U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Navy, and at six out - of state universities and hospitals. reality MSU's dean of osteopathic medicine, Myron S_ Magen, D.O., emphasizes, ~ 'Great appreciation is due hundreds of persons who worked so diligently to make state - supported osteopathic medical education a in Michigan." - , The MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine became the 16th component college of the University in 1970, following implementation of an act passed in 1969 by the state legislature. The college had been founded in Pontiac by charter as the private Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Magen cites his profession's dedication to community service, which formed the foundation for the MSU osteopathic program "to train . family physicians who can provide comprehensive health care all members of the family." to This year's graduates include two classes which enrolled on the Pontiac campus in 1969 and 1970. The earlier class followed a four - year curriculum which summer vacations_ Students entering in the 1970 class included trained on a 36 - month schedule, with no time off for vacations, and will be completing their undergraduate work at the end of this summer. However, the University does not hold summer graduation exercises, and they are participating in Sunday's commencement. An important part of the approaching we.ekend graduation activities will be the hooding ceremony on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Kellogg Center Auditorium.- The osteopathic medical oath will be administered and doctoral hoods wiQ be presented to the new doctors. Speaking for the graduates will be Ralph A. Olechowski, Rochester, president- of the class entering in 1969, and Ira L. Snider, Royal Oak, president of the class entering in 1970. Joining Dr. Magen in conducting the hooding ceremony will be: John Barson, Ed . D. , associate dean; Lawrence Jacobson, D.O. , assistant dean for clinical affairs; Samuel H. Black, Ph.D ., acting assistant dean of students: J . Langdon Taylor, Ph.D., associate the Office of Medical professor Education Research and Development. In addition to the families of the graduates, invited guests will include medical facUlty members and Michigan citizens who were instrumental in establishing the College of Osteopathic Medicine at MSU. in This year's enrollment of MSU osteopathic totals 149, students including 107 undergraduates. The size of the entering class increased to 69 last fall, and next fa:ll will include 70 students selected from a field of 1,300 applicants. School mergers urged to achieve integration strategy The consolidation of city and suburban school districts is the only' effective for desegregating schools if existing buildings are to be used, according to Robert L. Green, acting dean of the College of Urban Development. At the same time, adds Green, community control can and must be an integral part of any metropolitan system. His "Community control under a metropolitan structure will encourage suburban citizens who have fled from the cities to re - examine the urban crisis and hopefully realize that the future of urban areas must be the concern of all citizens, not only those who remain contained in central cities," he says. comments, published by the University of Chicago in a special issue of "School Review," come at a time when ' the Supreme Court has just affirmed a decision by a lower court that a plan to consolidate Richmond , Virginia's city and suburban school districts is unconstitutional. The 4-4 split decision by · the justices dCle~ not set a legal precedent for similar school integration plans for other cities. to achieve integration Green's comments also come at a time when the Detroit cross - district busing case is begin deliberated by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. Last year U. S. District judge Stephen J. ' Roth ordered Detroit and 52 suburban school districts to begin cross busing to desegregate Detroit's schools, but did not order that 53 districts be consolidated into one. "The support of both the black and white communities of metropolitan America must be ra:nied around judicial rulings (ordering metropolitan consolidation) if we are to overcome the groups and individuals which seek to divide this country along racial lines," Green says. ideas The MSU professor of education that refutes any psychology community control and desegregation . are mutually exclusive. The failure of the white community to to black demands for multiracial schools, he says, led to the devtl.lopment of the decentralization and community control movement of the late 1960s. respond meaningfully He answers claims that consolidation will destroy a sense of community by citing studies that show that both suburban and urban parents have very little involvement in their schools, with the suburban parents having slightly less. "Under the current 'neighborhood school' system, the amount of parent involvement seems to be so slight that any change from the status quo is likely to be an improvement," Green contends. "Just as the city resident employed in a suburban auto factory is able to commute to union meetings near his place of employiment, so, too, will he be able to attend school board meetings and par~nt - teacher conferences in his child's e school. Similarly, as · the suburban resident is able to ccime downtown to do his shopping and attend theatre and other entertainment, so he will be able to participate in activities at his child's sChool." the Green, who is also director of the ' Center for Urban Affairs, cites the cluster plan of school desegretation recommended for Detroit by the State Department of Education as an example of how community control can be accomplished. That plan would create 16 clusters, combining suburban districts with portions of the Detroit district. An area - wide board plus important individual cluster school boards would provide community control. "The close cooperation of the Married Students Union and members of our medical and nursing faculties has resulted in a workable demonstration which can serve as the basis for further progress in this important area," he'Said. He noted that this was the first time that the University had been in a 'position to offer health services to dependents of students. Overall administration of the demonstration program will be under ,the jurisdiction of the Health Care Authority, assisted by a special advisory committee. Operating on a "fee - for - service" basis, the program will be generally self supporting and will emphasize siCkness prevention and health promotion, as well as offer diagnostic and therapeutic , services to member families. Under The program will use a team concept of group practice which will utilize health personnel more efficiently as well as help establish a more personal relationship with the student families. the concept,each family would be assigned to a Small group of health professionals, including a nurse, a family practitioner, a ped4ttrician, a health care assistant and a counselor. The family would contin)le to be served by the same group, and 24-hour emergency service would be provid~d. include pediatrics, pre-natal care, health maintenance and prevention checks, routine sick care and. emergency assistance. In addition; the health team will be able to call on back-up services for non-routine he'aUh problems, gynecological serVices> nutrition advice, and speech and hearing problems. Services would According to the proposal, the health assistant members' of the teams will be important to establishihg 'continuity hf, care. It states that they "will assume a patient advocacy role and serve as a link between other team members and the family." Services for the program will be provided in Olin Health Center to the maximum extent possible in order to fully utilize existing resources and to avoid duplication. Under rules established by the Health Care Authority, medical, osteopathic and nursing students will work with the teams in order for them to obtain educational experience. The total number of families assigned to each team will be limited to a number which will allow both teaching ' and service to be provided simultaneously. To insure that those affected by the program are involved in its conduct, an advisory committee will be formed. It will advise the Health Care Authority on such matters as eligibility, grievances, program modification and monitoring. The committee will consist of one' representative each from the Colleges of Human and Osteopathic Medicine and the School of Nursing, two from the All-University Health Care Advisory the Married Board and three from including an Students Union, off-campus representative. . - siudehts He said married Joseph Patterson, acting executive director of the Health Care Authority, said detailed plans Will~,e formulated dUJ:'ing the summer. . living off-campus as well as those living in on-campus married housing will be eligible the pilot · program.

This is the view of the school's instructors and graduating seniors, who the continuing concepts and listed qualifications of nursing as "concern for the patient and family, commitment to the profession, and flexibility." Isabelle P~yne, professor and director of nursing, said that today's nursing requires students to go beyond the basics. "Increasing social awareness and increased demands on the nursing profession make for students to have not only the required nursing courses, but a broad general education such areas as economics and social science," she said. it necessary including She explained that nurses must' accept such responsibilities as showing a patient and family how to spend his food . dollar. "It would be useless to nuise a patient if he weren't eating correctly," she said. "That is why it is necessary in educating nurses today to plug into other-areas of medicine. This interaction helps create an understanding of th~ roles of others concerned with the patient." Barbara Given, assistant professor of nursing, added 'tlili toi these reasons nuises must be fle·xible.' «There is no future in nursing unless individuals have the ability to work in a team," she said. She explamed that today 80 percent of all health care is administe;:ed outside the hospital in such areas as community nursing and health maintenance, and "nurses must be able to work with other health care practitioners in a team concept. in "Although it is hard to believe, the ... is unemployment the nursing profession, because of nurses' inability to be flexible," she said.

"Today's nursing requires going beyond an eight - hour day / 40-hour week.

The nurse is· completely responsible for the needs of his or her patients and will be called at home if problems arise concerning the patient;" she said. "This eliminates problems created with shift changes and anSwers of 'I don't know I wasn't here is this morning' when required about the patient." information I I I I ~ . Mrs. Givens added that this type of nursing, in addition to adding more responsibility requires independent decision making. "It changes the nursing role to that of independent practitioner," she said. for nurses, ,George Smith, Jr., another graduating senior, said that with the current trends reflecting a shortage of physicians, there is a need for nurse practitioners. "There would be no need for physician assistants as suggested by many persons today, if nurses were doing what they should be doing," he said. Smith, who will be delivering the class valedictory at the School of Nursing's Convocation Su~ay (June 10); is another sign of a change in the nursing profession - the audition of men in a profession normally sought by women. He is the only male in the class of 70 graduates.

Nwankwo has been writer - in - residence at MSU this year and taught courses in contemporary black literature. He says that major changes in Africa over the past two decades - particularly from a long era of colonial rule to emerging is reflected in the writings of African novelists and poets. government self "Most modern literature in Africa began as an attempt to counteract the notion that Africa had no culture before the' whiteman arrived to colonize the continent," he says. Literature before the 1960s was often militantly antiwhite, satirizing colonialism and the white man's power, Nwankwo says. But the early sixties represented a cultural and political watershed. he adds, with more a nd more black African nations gaining i.Tldependence. "African literature today is no longer antiwhite, but is increasingly critical of African leaders themselves," Nwankwo says, who in many cases are simply "perpetuating the errors of the white colonials. " "People have high hopes for social justice and _~ government arrives," he says, "but they feel let down and disillusioned when ali they mid hoped for is not attained." reform when self "Often we simply have had an exchange of white arrogance for black arrogance. Since 1958, Nwankwo notes, there , has been a "literature explosion" in Africa. A classic work, "'J'hiv.gs Fall Apart," by Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe, set the tone for writers to ' "recreate the African past, to give it dignity as a society before the white man came." A dilemma facing today's African is dealing with the writers, he says, "love - hate relationship" with the language they have "inherited," such as English or French. "They resent it as a symbol of colonial subjugation, but they recognize that for practical purposes it represents the best way of communicating with the world," Writing in a language indigenous to a particular African nation would severely, limit readership, he points out. Nwankwo has written a number of novels, and is currently working on "Broken Images," which deals with the problems facing people torn from their cultural roots and faced with changing value systems. The problem of separatism versus assimilation is a major one for many Africans, Nwankwo says, and' he expresses the view that "while we can't turn our backs on the past, we can't afford to totally reject the technological advances taking place today."

In fact, said Mordechai Kreinin, professor of economics, the dollar "may now very well be undervalued." specialist But Kreinin, a in international monetary matters, said that the recent dollar devaluations, "coupled with the impending tightening of the domestic money markets, will undoubtedly improve the U. S. balance of payments." The balance of payments is likely "to move into the black in a year or 18 months," Kreinin said. . Such a state of equilibrium will not the necessarily dollar, however, since hundreds of billions of dollars are held by foreigners. relieve pressure on "What triggered the recent flurrieS of activity," Kreinin said, "was a large order for gold placed by certain Middle Eastern sheiks," that raised the price of gold. an action If these nations or other holders of their U. S. confidence in the dollar, he said, they · dollars should lose can "d\4mp their holdings on the markets and depress the dollar." Kreinin said that an improvement in U. S. balance of payments will help ease pressure on the dollar, but he added that factors as foreign reactions to the Watergate affair could further throw the dollar situation into imbalance. such psychological one possible source of pressure on the dollar, Kreinin said, is further . accumulation of dollars by the Middle Eastern oil - producing countries, "far beyond their need for imports." In these countries, he added, the rulers' js not ability to dispose of dollars limited by domestic demand for imports, since the ruling elements are not yet as respqnsive to the needs of the citizenry as are the governments of most Western nations. Kreinfu also urges that President Nixon reject any demands by French President Georges Pompidou that the U. S. "repeg the dollar to the European currencies." Kreinin said that if the dollar had been on a "fixed exchan~e rate"the _recent selling fl~rries 'would have developed into "a full - fledged crisis."

"University educators should be making their students aware of this international dimension of environmental issues." -Nellor, who has participated ~ international environmental programs ill C e n t r al America, Poland and Yugoslavia, points out that the United States has 6 percent .of the world's population but used 35 percent of the world energy output and accounts for 30 percent of world material consumption. He suggests that the United States is extremely vulnerable to the countries that supply it. "The sobering fact," said Nellor, "is that 75 percent of the world's petroleum is in the Mideast and the Orient in that are . not particularly countries the welfare of - the to sensitive Americans. interestingly enough "The developing natio.ns have served notice on us that the energy and material resources upon which ow affluence - and our pollution ....: depend on tto not all belong to us.

"It has been pointed out," !1e said, "that if we became really efficient, the energy savings in industry alone would be enough to compensate for present shortages. " Nellor views nuclear energy as probably the best immediate source of additional energy with geothermal and solar energy holding promise for the future. He also holds that it is going to be necessary to design more r~clable materials, to develop new and better' , materials to make products last lo,nger. "Do we keep pumping in greater amounts of raw materials from the rest of the world, even if necessary by force of war? Or do we start now looking at recycled materials and efficiently use our own materials and energy sources and those that we import? It is not so much what we use but how we use it. "Unless we find alternative sources of energy and alternative materiais; I do not believe our standard of living can survive," he said. He said eliucators owe it to young people to not limit the dimensions of enviromental concern to the immediate community, to the state or even to the nation. "We have to become sensitive to the demands and the value systems of that larger part of the world frQm which our raw materials emanate. "We should not talk about the energy crisis only in terms of running our cars or industry. We have to be constantly aware of the political and economical realities of the sources of our affluence.

The 18 member advisory committee, chaired by Secretary of State Richard H. Austin, is composed of representatives of public agencies and priva'te organizations with responsibilities and in promoting highway safety. Members of the appointed by President Oifton R. Wharton, Jr. to react to center programs and activities and provide counsel and guidance to the center. committee are interest Of major importance to the committee was the report of continued increases in the numbers of alcohol - involved traffic accidents which, when coupled with the continuing decline in conviction related offenses, adds up to a grim traffic picture. for alcohol rate Reports at the end of the first quarter of 1973 show alcohol offenses are up at least 7% and traffic fatalities up 10% over the same period in 1972. On a hopeful note, the problem of the young drinking driver appears to be leveling off after an initial quick rise when the legal drinking age was lowered to 18. In the face of this bleak picture, Sheehe reported to the committee on the Center's new and continuing programs. Of major importance in the center's attack on the alcohol related accident problem is the Police Alcohol Training (P AT) program, developed with the help of a grant from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning. PAT trains techniques of police officers in apprehending and ptosecuting alcoh~' offenders before they become involved in an accident. A fedeial grant for further development aimed toward is expected national shortly. implementation is enforcement agencies the center administers Another tool of major importance to the law Breathalyzer Operator Training Program which in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Public Health and the Michigan Department of State Police. In Michigan, a Breathalyzer test of .10% blood alcohol concentration in a driver is presumptive evidence of driving under the influence of alcohol. rec£:ltly completed by In a more general field of traffic safety, Theodore Forbes, reported on the Driver Performance Measurement project the center and the MSU Department of Psychology with the aid of a federal grant. The project developed a research method of measuring the performance of small groups of drivers in real - life situations. . According to McKee, there are three main purposes for the Evening College, two of which are often overlooked. The purposes are: * to offer interesting, innovative, non-credit courses to adults in the Central Michigan area, timely, * to serve as an area for curriculum testing for faculty prior to formalizing courses entering actual college programs. * to serve as a recompression chamber for adults who wish to re-enter . the University. McKee found the recent report of the task Force on Lifelong Education a new support and encouragement for the existing Evening College efforts. "The Evening College has set a precedent in the University for lifelong learning," he said. "We are encouraged by the report on lifelong education and see even more potential for the Evening College. "The Evening College is trying to id'entify its educational responsibility to all people. Then we will be able to take a specific lifelong education approach. "We've got to relate to older people if we're lifelong talking about education. We have to talk to those who have 'been there.' We have to tap the source and incorporate it. At this point in their lives, they want to give to educators rather than take," he said. a course entitled "Information I Idea Exchange for Older People" is being led by Leo A. Haak. is an McKee said example of the direction that the Evening College would like to take. Currently, this course that Two-thirds of the 4,000 adults attending Evening College courses over the three - term period surveyed were women. McKee said that the Evening College is actually one of the largest women's programs in the United States. One . hundred and fifteen women are currently enrolled in a course entitled "Women: Potentials and Perspectives." "This course for women has been offered all three terms. Fall term we plan to put all the ideas together and offer a capsule course. What we have learned through this course can also be related for women on campus," he explained. to courses McKee said innovations and that changes are always being incorporated into the progpml. This term, a trial program began which combined the Evening College non-credit students with regular MSU students from Justin Morrill College and the Department of Psychology. The courses, "Contemporary World Philosophy," "Relevance of Reason," and "Consumer Cooperatives," helped to bridge the communication gap between the two groups.
