The Academic Council at its meeting today (Oct. 7) will consider: .-A motion to suspend classes on Oct. 15, the day proposed for nationwide debate and discussion of the Vietnam war. ASMSU President Tom Samet has for:milly propose'd the suspension to Acting President Adams. -A new curriculum in military science (Anny ROTC). -A long list of course additions and changes, including major revisions in the University College. -A report from the Ad Hoc Committee for Student Participatiol,l in Academic Goverrunent. The meeting begins at 3:15 p.m. in the Con Con Room of the International Center. Also scheduled are remarks by Acting President Adams. Military Science University College. The proposed military science curriculum is to be introduced in two parts. The ~reshman-sophomore basic program is now in operation, and an advanced program juniors and seniors will begin fall term, 1970. for Changes in the curriculum are based on recommendations made jointly by the Educational Policies Committee and the Curriculum Committee last spring. Last April., Acting President Adams asked both committees to study the role of ROTC at the University. The committees recommended that both Army and Air Force ROTC be continued with academic credit, but that the military science (Army ROTC) program be modified. ••• The recommendations also called for in military adjunct appointments science in for departments offering courses required for military science. faculty members in changes The committees further recommended the a year's delay aerospace (Air Force ROTC) program, pending results of experimental programs now under way on other campuses. in Under the revised basic program being proposed, fre~ Army ROTC students will enroll in three new courses during the year. They'll begin with an international relations course taught by the Department of Political Science and a marksmanship and hunter safety course taught jointly by military science and the health, physical education and recreation_ department. ••• Sophomore ROTC students-will take a military history course f~om the history department and "Terrain Analysis and Land Navigation." The new courses outside the military science department would be available to any student. "One of the major changes," says Col. Jean Burner, professor of military science, "is the elimination of 'leadership laboratory.' Because of this, wearing the uniform is to be optional during the basic course." ."'. The new advanced program, to begin next fall term, will include two regular university courses, "Organization and in· the College of Administration," Business, and "The United States in World Affairs," offered by political science. Greater flexibility and wider selection new the University the look proposed in characterize curriculum College. Students in American Thought all;d Language, humanities, natural science and social science will be able for the ftrst time to choose from variations of the same course through a system of op~on~"or tnicks~ In the ATL sequence, for example a student may select from a track that emphasizes·. "his ability. to read and write" and his acquaintance with his American heritage, or from one that features the "whole books" approach to the regular prograrrl. Each course includes a track for honors·students. There are four tracks for each of the , three courses in humanities and social science. Natural science offers six tracks in its ftrst-term course and ftve in thto other two courses. • •• Edward A. Carlin, dean of the University College, said the proposed course changes are a "reaction to an extremely student heterogeneous population."

Carlin said he looks forward to the time "when we have perhaps seven or eight alternatives in ATL from which students can choose." He also noted that faculty members have been closely involved in developing the courses, materials and outlines. "A professor with this involvement has enthl1siasm for the course, and he's going to be a better teacher for it," Carlin added. Leadership principles and problem solving will be integrated into new military science courses, "Military Teaching," and "Military Management."

'You lose most of your faculty identity' tea9her-sch oiar By GENE RIETFORS In 1962 Paul A. Varg changed worlds: fr.om to university administrator. Now he's preparing to return to his role as professor of history after seven and a half "exciting" years as dean of the College of Arts and Letters. . The transfer at his request is effective Jan. 1, 1970. "I've felt all along that I wanted to return to teaching and writing," he says. "A man can be away from his own field only so long!' ' Varg's field is diplomatic history; his specialization is, U.s.~ese relations. On Jan~ 1 he begiDs a sabbatical leave - the frrst of his academic career - to continue r~search and writing in his specialty. His ''The include several books Foreign Policy of the Founding Fathers" (1963) and "The Making of a Myth: United States and China, 1897-1912" (1968). He is a former Fulbright Lecturer and served on the U.S. Department of State's advisory panel on China in 1966. Varg taught for 12 years at Ohio State University, joined the , faculty here in 1958 and became dean of arts and letters in 1962. . The transition from faculty member Paul Varg: "A man can be away from his own field only so long." (Photo by Bob Smith) to administrator is never an easy one, he says. "Within a year, you've lost most of your identity with faculty, and you have to live with it, ev~n if you don't believe it." " The teacher-turned-administrator also risks losing' status among the scholars whom he ~olds in high esteem, Varg says. "Faculty are generally distrustful of administrators, although this is more apparent than real." An to challenge the added administrator is meeting budgetary demands, a "This says. never-ending task. It becomes so much a part of the job that it occupies much of one's thinking. he is "You often have visions of declaring bankruptcy. " Varg points out that "it's tembly important for a dean to be familiar with the frustrations and difficulties of the can classroom understand and translate these concerns to the top administration." professor he so He says that faculty tend to have their , own values which are not readily comprehended by those who hav~ not experienced them.

" Kresge permanent collection on view By PAUL LOVE Professor of art For the first time in almost a decade, a large portion of the art works owned by the University is on view in the Kresge Art Center Gallery. The exhibit continues through. Oct. 26. Ideally the enti(e gallery, including· that part which displays words from the collection, would have been redesigned in order to give the present exhibition complete coherence. But there is too short a time between the October and November exhibitions to hang a new show and restore order to the main the works in the main . gallery. So, gallery will remain, and additional· works ranging from the 15th through the JOth century will be distnbuted in the entrance and north galleries. A small collection haS decided advantages over ~ a large one because media can be mixed and periods and nationalities can be overlapped or interlocked. You may have an early 19th century American portrait in the comer of your eye while you are contemplating a reee.nt painting by the .!~stra~tionist, Morris Louis. In the large museum, Greek ceramics are in an area separate from Greek sculpture, and prints "and drawings are tucked in an obscure room far removed from the paintings to which they relate. In short, the small museum can make a virtue of a necessity. The erratic, unpredictable and never lavish purchasing budget forces us to make a Luca Cambiaso drawing of the 16th eentluy can suggest the Renaissance style where compromises, but a genuine Titian is impossible to obtain. An excellent Cezanne color lithograph can substitute for a painting. The necessity of maintaining a large flexible center area which can be quickly converted into a lecture hall permits the sudde~ juxtaposition of a 17th century Zurbafan pamting with contemporary work by a staff artist. This does not mean that we are resting in euphoria. The present exhibition was .arranged to indicate that we are not. But it does suggest relation~p~ ' ~d that should not be confrontations forgotten.

The statement went on to point out that the faculty salary adjustment "is much less than the increases ... granted to almost ~very other occupational group in the economy, blue collar, white collar or profeSSional." We urged the administration and the Board of Trustees in developing its fmal budget "to give top priority to raising faculty salaries and expanding fringe benefits level already over and above authorized.

Such participation could . take forms. Discussion of the precise mechanism to give the faculty an effective voice in decisions on compensation and other economic benefits is a proper subject for discussion and debate within the Academic Council and the university community. The MSU Chapter of the AAUP intends. to give this subject the highest priority during the coming year. We invite the views of all faculty members which can best be expressed by joining the AAUP and participating actively in the forthcoming discussions.
