Searching goes  on for  three  deans 

Searches are still on in three colleges for new deans, but 
the  hunt  has  not  begun  for  a  new  vice  president  for 
student affairs. 

The  James  Madison  College  search  committee, 
established  earlier  this term,  is  in beginning  stages  but 
still hopes to submit a list of candidates to the provost by 
January, 1972. 

Chaired  by  Chitra  Smith,  associate  professor  in 
Madison College, the search committee isnow soliciting 
nominations from all students and faculty in the college. 
The committee is in no way abdicating its responsibility 
for  judgment,  Mrs.  Smith  said,  but  wishes  to  insure 
broad participation. 

The  committee  also  plans  to  hold  an  open  "town 
meeting,"  in "Madisonian" fashion, Mrs.  Smith said, to 

include  faculty and students in a disCussion on what an 
ideal dean would be like. 

Once  nominations  are  solicited,  the  committee  will 
narrow the list,  gather data on their  remaining  names, 
conduct interviews and submit from three to five names 
to the provost.

EDUCATION IS NEARING the end of its search. Lee 
Shulmlln,  professor,  an(j  chairman  of  that  search 
committee, said the group is still interviewing candidates 
. and hopes to make a recommendation to the provost by 
the end ofthis term. 

Six candidates have so far been interviewed, Shulman 
said,  and  at  least  one  more  interview  is  scheduled, 
though there may be more. 

The  education  search  committee  was  established in 

April. 

*  *  * 
THE HUMAN  ECOLOGY search committee has been 
working for about  18 months. An original slate ofthree 
names  was  submitted to  the provost a year ago, but he 
has  asked  the committee to submit two more names to 
him,  according  to  Assistant  Provost  Dorothy  Arata, 
chairman ofthe human ecology search committee. 

Miss  Arata said the committee is reconsidering names 
from the list of nominations previously gathered but will 
also accept new nominations. No deadline has been set. 
The  rating  committee  for  the  vice  preSident  for 
student  affairs  has  not  yet  been  named,  though 
nominations have been submitted to President Wharton. 

EFC OKs five  grievance  amendments, 
will  resume  deliberations  N bv.  23 

The  Elected  Faculty  Council  (EFC) 
will  continue  consideration  of  the 
proposed  faculty  grievance  procedures 
Tuesday,  Nov.  23,  at  3  p.m.  in  the Con 
Con  Room  of  the  Center  for 
International Programs. 

The  EFC  met  Tuesday  (Nov.9)  and 
approved  five  amendments  to  the 
document  but  did  not  conclude  its 
consideration. 

The five amendments were: 
*To delete all of Section 3.3.3. and the 
reference  to  3.3.3.  in  Section  3.3.2. 
Section  3.3.3.  states  that  "Judicial 
Boards shall not hear appeals concerning 
substantive  decisions  made  by  or 

according  to  the  recommendations of a 
body of democraticaUy elected peers or a 
body appointed  or procedures approved 
according  to  cemocratically  established 
department or college bylaws." 

The deletion was proposed by C. Keith 
Groty,  acting  director  of  labor  and 
industrial relations. The section implied, 
Groty  said, 
that  "a  democratically 
elected body is never wrong and is above 
review."  All decisions deserve review, he 
said. 

*Section  2.5.1.  of the  document  was 
amended to  allow  an  unlimited number 
of challenges for cause in addition to two 

V otapeks to perform 

Duo  pianists  Ralph  and  Albertine  Votapek  will  be  featured  during  the 
performances next wee}{ (Nov. IS and 16) of the MSU Symphony Orcbestxa. Both 
c.oncerts will be at 8:15 p.m. in Fairchild Theatre. Donations are $2.50 per ticket, 
and proceeds will go to 1he Symphony Orcbestra Scholarship Fund ..

peremptory challenges in the selection of 
the  seven-member  Judicial  Board.  This 
amendment  was  proposed  by Hendrik 
Zwarensteyn,  professor  of business  law 
and office administration. 

"'Section  l.3.  of  the  document  was 
amended to conform with the dermition 
of faculty  in  the  Bylaws  for  Academic 
Governance,  Section 1.1.,  which includes 
all  persons  appointed under  the rules of 
tenure  with  the  rank  of  professor, 
associate  and  assistant  professor,  and 
instructor;  temporary  faculty  (not 
appointed  under  the  rules  of  tenure); 
honorary  faculty;  and  deans  and  other 
administrators who have been apPOinted 
from academic ranks. 

While 

the  bylaws  do  not 
include 
part-time  faculty  in  their  defmition, 
Zwarensteyn  said he  thought  they were 
included  in  the  spirit  of the document, 
and Provost  John Cantlon,  who  chaired 
the  meeting,  accepted  that 
interpretation. 

*References  in  Sections  3.2.,  2.4.6., 
and  6.2.  to  existing  practices  of  the 
'University  were  amended  to  read 
"existing practices  ...  in  the appropriate 
units of the University." 

:« And  Sections  8.3.  and  8.4.  were 
to  provide  for  proposed 
amended 
amendments  to  the  procedur~s  to  be 
considered  by  the  University  Faculty 
Affairs  and  Faculty  Compensation 
Committee, an.d to be iONlat:ded, Vo!l.tb. ot. 
without  their  recommendation,  to  the 
EFC,  and  then  on  to  the  Academic 
Council.  The original version of 8.3. and 
8.4. required approval of the F AFCC by a 
majority  vote,  with  the  proposal  going 
directly to the Academic Council. 

*** 
A  MOTION  BY  GROTY  to  delete 
Section  7.4.  of  the  document,  which 
gives  the  president  the  option  of 
accepting  or  overruling decisions of the 
Appeals Board, was defeated by the EFC. 
Groty's  motion  included  provision  to 
make  decisions  of  the  Appeals  Board 
final and binding upon the University. 

There  was  little  discussion  on  the 
motion,  but  E.  Fred  Carlisle,  associate 
chairman of English and chairman of the 
ad  hoc  committee  which  drafted  the 
grievance  procedures,  argued  that  the 
president's options were consistent with 
the  advisory  nature  of  academic 
governance.  -BEVERLY TWITCHELL

Changing educational life  styles 

"New Life Styles for Continuing Education" was the topic for the 13th seminar 
for  College  and  University  Leaders  in  Continuing  Education  held  last  week  at 
Kellogg Center. Following are excerpts from speechesdeliveredbyflVepersonswho 
addressed thefour~y session. 

The  Continuing Education  University 

"  ... the land-grant institutions were successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams! 
But over the years many of these colleges and universities have changed a great deal. 
They have become so theoretical that they lost touch with the real needs of society. 
We  must now provide  new programs and new directions by giving a rebirth to the 
land-grant tradition in order to serve urban America ... 

"A renewed COIl"mitment  by American higher  education to community service 
would, in  my opinion,  restore a great deal of faith in our colleges and universities. 
lbis renewal of confidence would also turn American higher education away from 
the  headlong  path it has  taken over the last  quarter-century toward research for 
research's  sake." 
.CHARLE~ E. PERRY,.  president,  Florida  International 
University. 

Lifelong Education in  the Pluralistic  U.niversity 

"Although  there was  a  time  when budgeting allotments were  made  to selected 
departments  for  regular  continuing  education  responsibility,  this  pattern  has 
disappeared.  Thus,  today when faculty from within the institution are involved in 
teaching courses, they can only be attracted by payment ot1~an overload basis rath,er 
than as part of their nonnal academic responsibilities. 

:' " 

! ,~ 

"The University fmds 'itself in the inconsistent positional tin the oM hand hiring a 
full-time employe to work within the department, and on the other hand sanctioning 
the practice of a separate unit within the institution whioh :hires these people on an 
overload basis. 

~ : , ; 

"Therefore,  MSU  share$  with virtually  all  other  univ;ersities :the anomaly  of a 
continuing  and  adult  education  program  which  serves"only  a  limited  clientele. 
Furthermore,  it  is  unable  to  draw  effectively  upon  the  full  array  of University 
resources in order to respond vigorously to the most critical educational demands of 
our society •.. ' 

"At the institutional level, the basic goal must be a restruct,uring and a redefmition 
of  the  entire  adult  and  continuing  education,  cooperatiVe  extension  and  other 
off-campus  activities  in  such  a  fashion  that manpower, knowledge  and financial 
resources of a university are consciously and selectively focused as an integral part of 
the other primary functions of the university. 

. 

"This view is  substantiated by the  soon-to-be-rnade  public recommendations of 
MSU's  Presidential  Commission  on  Admissions  and Student Body Composition. 
From its extensive investigations and deliberations, this group ... concluded that we 
must conduct a careful study of how to meet our obligations of providing lifelong 
education. 

"  ... once a program model and clientele have been identified, the University must 
respond internally by refocusing and marshalling present institutional resources to 
facilitate  lifelong  education.  Complementing  this  must be the development of a 
faculty-staff reward  system  which  puts lifelong education in a perspective vis-a-vis 
the  other primary functions  of a university.  But without a commitment from the 
trustees and top administrative officers, these realignments will never take place ... " 
- PRESIDENT CLIFTON R. WHARTON JR. 

Talking 'among ourselves' 
in the campus community 

The following viewpoint is reprinted from the Newsletter, a monthly faculty - staff 

newspapefJ.~ublished by the University of Bristol in England. 

The  main  work  of a  university  is,  of 
course, 
teaching  and  research,  but 
universities  have  other  important 
functions.  It is  said,  for  example, that a 
university  should  be 
the  cultural 
custodian of the wider community of the 
city or place which surrounds it. 

One wonders at times whether Bristol is 
in  any  real  sense  a  community  of 
scholars.  Certainly  there  are  scholars 
here,  and  they live  in communities. But 
the communities are small and the feeling 
of  oneness· with  colleagues  is 
departmental or sectional. 

That  this  should  be  so  is  hardly 
surprising.  The university rarely requires 
its members to think in larger terms. The 
geography  and  size  of  the  university 
make  it  difficult 
to  establish  and 
maintain contact.  Even when  contact is 
established,  maintaining  it  can  be 
difficult.  We  are  all  laymen  in  each 
other's  departments.  We  are  divided  by 
our misuse of our common language. 

Informal discussions take place in a sort 
of departmental verbal shorthand, almost 

to  the  outsider.  Initials 
meaningless 
(UGM),  j argon  (software)  and 
unnecessary  new  works  (envirotecture) 
creep in. 

It  may  not  seem  to  matter  that 
,  informal discussions should take place in 
a  sort  of departmental  shorthand,  but, 
out of these discussions, formal proposals 
in time do arise. These are sometimes of 
significance  to  us  all.  They  are  always 
regarded as important by their proposers. 
Unless  we  understand what is important 
to our colleagues, we can have no sense of 
community with them. Until we can use 
language  in a way tliat enables us to talk 
among  ourselves  in  the  university 
community,  we  will  not  be  able  to 
discharge  our  duty  to  the  wider 
community around us. 

So  perhaps  our  duties  as  cultural 
custodians  and  our  duties  as  a 
community  of scholars are the same. We 
must begin with a clear and more precise 
use of language.

Toward 1985 
"Everthing  I  see  indicates we  are  going into  1985  in  a country that is basically 
people  oriented, with strong  individualism,l a free  market and a democratic society 
beset  by  many  problems,  but  working  them out in terms of human liberty and 
dignity ... 

"Even with a low fertitlity rate, the population growth rate will rise for the next 
decade because the proportion of women in childbearing ages will increase. On the 
basis of present information, however, the populati~  growth rate could well return 
to its present level in the eighties or, perhaps, even slip below it ... 

"The number of elementary school pupils will probably drop slightly in the next 
few years - return to its present level by 1980 - and then rais~ somewhat by 1985. 
High  school enrollment is expected to change relatively little in  the next 14 years. 
However, the number of college students is expected to rise by more than 50 percent 
from its present level of 7.5 million to about 11.5 million in 1985. Abo\lt one-third 
of the expected rise in college enrollment is due to population increase; two-thirds is 
due to the expected increase in  . the prOJ:!<?rtion  of young people attending college. 

"It is obvious that, if our sOcietyisTo ... handle the number of young people who 
expect to  attend college, we not only need more facilites and faculties and college 
presidents, but far-sighted vision and understanding on the part of the public ... " -
GEORGE H. BROWN, director, U.S. Bureau ofthe Census. 

Problems of the  University: Internal and External 

"A  series .of court  cases  growing  out of faculty  committee and administrative 
decisions  not  to  reappoint  a  particular  faculty  member  in  the  tenure  stream 
demonstrates  a  problem  of concern.  In  my  personal" judgment,  it  is  absolutely 
essential  that  university  departments  retain  their f1bAity  to release  new  faculty 
members, not only based upon their competence"outp~t'j~d personal integrity, but 
in relation to the individual's scholarly or research or .in$tructional contribution to 
the department. 

"Since  nnre and more instruction  and  research requil;e  ~teraction between several 
individuals, the loos  of the department's ability to  develop a critical mass of faculty 
talent  around  a  few  broad  themes would, in my judgment, be a major setback for 
future academic departments ... 

"There has been a strong press by minority groups and more recently by women 
for  fair em£loymentand  enrollment  practices  by universities  ... In many fields, 
however, real scarcities of trained ~rsonnel, except, (Qr, white males, raises a serious 
problem.

"Faculties tend to he highly unsympathetic with any  procedures that  abandon 
proven merit as a basis for hiring, promotion and retention. On the other hand, the 
special groups are understandably unhappy with the slow pace of increasing numbers 
of the  group  in  the  various  categories  ... There  is  scant  hope  that  university 
administrators  can  be  perceived  simultaneously  to  be  maintaining  quality  and 
moving aggressively in meeting hiring goals ... 

"We  must avoid  the  harm that will come to  universities if we are so naive  as to 
confuse  student-faculty-university  relationships  with  the labor.management 
relationships  that  have  emerged  in  the  private  industry  sector.  Students are  not 
simply  products,  faculty  are  not  simply  employes without voice  in  how  the 
institution. should run, and administrators will never have wisdom enough to run the 
creative drive of the university without the faculty." - JOHN E. CANTLON,  MSU 
provost. 

Continuing Education: New Needs and People 

"We must change our system of rewards and honor - creating new honorifics - in 
order to offer real education and not merely a succession of credit hours. We have 
been  offering  an  excuse  for  education  - an  elective,  if you will  - and not the 
opportuni ty to live a life oflearning. 

"In  order  to  change,  we  must fIrst  encourage  access  to education under more 
. convenient conditions. Present learning situations involve a deadening procession of 
classrooms  frrmly  situated in established institutions - a  stereotypic educational 
environment.  Classes  are  not  held  in  places  of  convenience  or  at  hours  of 
convenience. 

"We  should  run  adult  education  on  Saturdays  and  Sundays,  so that  it  may 
transcend the restrictions of a work week schedule, and in the middle ofthe night, so 
that workers may leave their shifts and report for class. We must conduct  education 
by  radio  and television,  off campus in  shopping centers  and movie  theatres,  and 
through the mail. 

"Further,  we  must  strive  to  reach  constituencies  we  do  not  now  serve,  in 
continuing educ~tion - we  must run programs for the aged, for young housewives 
with small children, for persons desiring embarkation on second careers or even third 
careers  ... "-\ GERALD A. FA YERMAN, assistant to dean, College of Osteopathic 
Medicine, and former chief educational analyst, Michigan Legislative Fiscal Agency.

Returning veterans: 
Unique · problems 

The  MSU  Faculty  Associates  group 
hopes  to  file  for  a  unionization 
certification  election  before  the  end  of 
this term. 

The  MSU  FA,  an  affiliate  of  the 
Michigan Education Association, r~ports 
it  has  obtained  signatures  of more  than 
20  percent  of  the  faculty  ~d more 
authorization  cards  are  coming into the 
group daily. 

. When authorization cards from 30 percentl 
of the  faculty  are  obtained, they will be 
sUbnitted to  the  Michigan  Employment 
Relations Commission, which would call 
for the election. 

The  MSUF A  has  not  yet  de,iermined 
the bargaining unit (who would or would 
not be  included), but is  working with a 
total  figure  of about  2,400  Board  of 
Trustees - appointed faculty on 10 - and 
12-month appointments. 

The MSU Chapter of the Association of 
American  University Professors (AAUP) 
has  collected  at  least  13  percent  of 
authorization  cards,  not including those 
collected  since  the  group  decided  to 
intensify its drive early this term, reports 
Sigmund  No sow ,  professor  of  labor 
andindustrial  relations,  and  president  of 
the local AAUP chapter. 

The  MSUF A  has  also  prepared  a 
comparative  study  of  facUlty  salaries, 
based partly upon salary data teleased by 
Trustee Clair White. The :M:SiJ F A study 
will not include names, but Will compare 
the salaries offaculty by rank, by 10'- and 
12-month appointments, by department, 
total  U~iVersity,  with 
college  and 

t4e !rean, median,  and  maximum  salary 
for each level. 

Listed separately  will be a comparison 
of the  salaries  of department chairmen 
within  each  college,  and  salaries  of 
positions within the deans' offices. 

The  study  will  also 

include  a 
comparison  of  salary  increases  from 
1970-71 
to  1971-72  by  rank, 
department,  college,  University,  and  10 
and 12-month appointments. 

The report is expected to be mailed this 
. 

mon th  to  all  Board  of  Trustees 
appointed faculty. 

*  *  * 
AT AN OPEN meeting of the MSU  FA 
Steering  Committee  last  Wednesday 
(N ov.  3),  the  group  discussed 
the 
desirability  of  obtaining  a  large I 
percentage  of  signatures  before  filin~ 
wi th  the  employment  relations 
commission.  But  members  decided  at 
their  regular  (closed)  meeting 
the 
following day to file when they obtain 30 
percent. 

One  member  said  the  report from the 
ad  hoc  committee  to  study  collective 
bargaining,  established  by  the  Elected 
Faculty  Council,  is  an  excuse  for  som~ 
faculty not to make up their minds on th{ 
issue. That report is due in January. 

Also  discussed  was  the  problem  tha1 
authorization  cards  may  be misleading. 
Cards state that the signer authorizes th{ 
MSUFA  (on  the  AAUP)  to serve  ashi~ 
exclusive  representative  for  ,collectivf 
bargaini!lg purposes with the  University 

Grade-point inflation  is 
national trend,  study shows 

A  general  view of reports from  15  of 
the  largest  universities  in  the  country 
suggests  that  inflation  of grade  - point 
averages is a national trend, according to 
Assistant Provost John Dietrich. 

Dietrich is conducting a study of the 30 
largest  universities  and  so  far  has  a  50 
percent return. He  said he would declare 
a  cut  - off  point  this  week  so  he  can 
compile  a report which  the provost said 
would be available to faculty. 

Even  though  the  data  are  not 
completely  comparable,  because  of 
different  grading  systems,  patterns,and 
ways  of reporting  grades,  Dietrich  said 
the indication is that the inflation Of the 
grade  _/ point  average is a national trend, 

or a "social phenomenon." 

This  is  accompanied  by  the  fact  that 
students  are  not  getting  any  better; 
rather,  there  is  a  wider  spectrum  of 
aptitudes,  partially  caused  by  the 
admission  of  more  marginal  students, 
Dietrich said. 

He  also  said  that  MSU's  inflationary 
grade  - point  problem is probably worse 
than  at  other institutions because MSU 
has  both  the social phenomenon factor 
and a scalar factor. 

. 
The scalar factor relates to a study here 
which  showed that the steps in the MSU 
revised' grading  system  have  tended  to 
shift  grades  upward.  (News  - Bulletin, 
Oct. 21,1971). 

He  is  generally  older,  more  mature, 
thant  the  average  college  freshman.  He 
may have  a  wife  and family  to support. 
He may be disabled. 

Returning  veterans  have  some  unique 
needs  and problems, and MSU is seeking 
to  improve its  service  to  them with the 
recent  establishment  of the position  of 
veterans' coordinator. 

Faculty are, 
reminded: It's 
II-week term 

Faculty  are  reminded  ,that  academic 
terms  are  11  ,weeks  :lopg,  not  the 
traditionally asslJ1!led 10 weeks. 

The  11 th  week  of  the  term  is 
commonly  known . as  f11lijl  exam  week. 
According to a n~w policy approved last 
spring and effective fot the ,first time this 
term,  all  courses  shall  meet  for a  two -
hour  period  during  that  ftnal  week, 
according  to  the  schedule  listed  in  the 
"Schedule  of  Courses  and  Academic 
Handbook." 

The  period  should be  used, the policy 
states,  for  examin[l.tion,; discussion, class 
summarization ,student  evaluation, 
instruction  or  «any  other  appropriate 
activity designed to advance the student's 
education." 

Any deviation from the schedule would 
require  approval  of the  registration  and 
scheduling  committee  of  the  Assistant· 
Deans Group. 

The  policy  also  stipulates  that  no 
student  should be required to take more 
than-two final  examinations in one day; 
that the schedule for the final week shall 
be rotated systematically so  that the two 
- hour  period  for  each  course  will  be 
scheduled  at  a different time each term; 
and  that  faculty  'shall  schedule  office 
hours during the fmal  week (or in some 
other way make themselves accessible to 
their students). 

Donald  Svoren,  who  has  served as  an 
enlisted  man  in  the  Navy  and  separated 
from the Army with the rank of captain, 
sees  his function in this new post as that 
of the "veterans' advocate" - identifying 
the  needs  of  the  veterans  and  then 
making  them aware  of the beneftts  and 
services available to them. 

" A t  present,  we  have  very  little 
information  about  who  our  veteran 
population  is,"  said  Svoren,  "but  one 
thing we  do know is that it is increasing." 
Svoren said that student figures, which 
include  veterans,  children  of  veterans, 
and widows  of veterans, have risen from 
1,791  in  the  fall  of 1969,  to  2,084  in 
.1970, and 2,627 this fall. 

Svoren  said 

that  his  position  also : 
includes  acting  as  a  liaison  for  veterans 
with  campus,  local,  county,  state,  and 
national bureaus. 

"We  needed  to  coordinate,"  Svoren 
said, "to have a central point so a veteran 
coming  to  MSU  could  get  exposure  to 
those  University  and  agency  services 
available to him. " 

~ 

Svoren  said  that  some  of  the  needs 
campus veterans' groups had expressed to 
the  Board  of Trustees  at  their  October 
meeting  included a tutorial program and 
referral service, expediting of application 
forms fat  admission, .he1ll  in obtaining 
part-time employment, and Imancial aid. 
One ofthe biggest problems of veterans 
on  the  national  level,  according  to 
Svoren, is severe unemployment. 

"The  Department  of Labor  statistics 
for  August  show  that  8.2  percent  or 
322,000  veterans  between  20  and  29. 
years  of age  are  unemployed,"  he said. 
"We  need  to find jobs for  veterans  and 
encourage  them  to  take  advantage  of 
educational  assistance  in  order  to  gain 
marketable skills." 

Other  duties  of  the  veterans' 
coordinator  will  include  compiling. 
reference materials on programs, policies 
and  laws  affecting  the  veteran, 
establishing  contact  with  the  veteran 
before  he  leaves  the  service;  and  an 
immediate  assessment  of  the  needs  of 
veterans. 

Tukey dies 
in Florida 

Harold  B.  Tukey, 

internationally 
known horticulturist and retired head of 
the  Department  of  Horticulture,  died 
Monday (Nov. 8) in Boca Raton, Fla. He

Tukey's research career began in 1920 
when  he  was  an  assistant horticulturist 
for the New York Experiment Stationin 
Geneva.  He  had  received  international 
recognition  for  a  career  that  included 
development  of herbicides,  such  as  the 
initial publication on 2, 4-D as a selective 
weed killer,  and discovery of the uptake 
of nutrients through plant leaves as well 
as through their roots. 
;,::A'graduate of the University of Illinois 
'and  holder  of  the  Ph.  D.  from  the 
University  of Chicago, Tukey joined the

Space utilization:  Finding enough 
places  for-people  and activities 

With more than 42,000 students enrolled, a great deal of space on campus is used 
for classrooms - right? Wrong. At MSU, less than 5 percent of the available space is 
used for classroom purposes, and that per.centageis about the same at other Big Ten 
universities. 

To  be exact, there are 9,200,291  assignable square feet. (The figure includes 3,8 
million square feet in the dormitories, but excludes storage, halls, closets, etc.) Only 
377,773 square feet are used for classrooms, according to Terry Armstrong, assistant 
registrar  in  charge  of  classroom  scheduling.  (This  does  not  include  classroom 
laboratories). 

The  Office  of Space  Utilization  is  responsible  for  scheduling  all  the  remaining 

space. 

The most popular class times seem to be between 9: 10 and 11 am. when about 95 
percent  of the  available  classrooms are  in use.  Faculty seem  to avoid the Friday 
afternoon class times. Mter 4 pm. only 14 percent are used. 

Last week the Assistant Deans' Group sent a memo to department chairmen urging 
them to make better use of classroom facilities during these early morning and late 
afternoon hours for coming terms. 

''We have  26,450  seats  available  for  classroom purposes  at  anyone time," says 
Armstrong.  "Most are  used during the late morning hours, but better use could be 
made of these facilities at other times." 

Jim  Peters,  assistant  director  of  space  utilization,  says  the  day-to-day  or 
hour-to-hour scheduling problems involve a movement of people in space and time, 
but scheduling is tempered by facul ty and student preferences. 

Davies  urges  household 
revolution  against packaging 

A  household  revolution 

is  being 
advocated by George A. Davies, who says 
that  "the  time  is  right  for  an  absolute 
all-out  packaging  revolt  by Mr.  and Mrs. 
Consumer." 

Davies, MSU's associate registrar, is also 
a  consultant  to  industry  in  education, 
management,  packaging  and  materials 
handling.  He  notes:  "Householders ' 
throwaway more than 40 per cent of the 
household  items  and  foodstuffs  they 
bring home from the supermarket, while 
only  1  per  cent  of  their  carry-home 
purchases from the farmer's market. 

"Consider,  for  example,"  he  adds, 
"that the product cost in ajar of mustard 
or ketchup is less than 1 0 per cent of your 
purchase  cost.  The  jar,  label, 
lid, 
merchandising,  delivery  and  retailer's 
profit account for the rest. 

"The box of cereal  that will  retail for 

36 cents will have  a product value  ofless 
than six  cents,  and an  aero sal  container 
always  costs  more  than  the  product  it 
holds." 

Davies believes that the place to get the 
strongest foothold,on _product disposal is 
in  the high volume, high tonnage area of 
"indestructables,"  such  as  automobiles, 
appliances, trucks and machine tools. 

He  proposes  a  national depository of 
revenue  at  the 
time  of  consumer 
possession that would guarantee ultimate 
disposal,  and,  where  practicable, 
recycling. 

"The housewife can wield the strongest 
influence  here,"  Davies says, "especially 
considering  that  an  average  family  will 
generate  3,000 empty  containers, 1,600 
pounds  of  newsprint  publications  and 
1,500 pounds of obsolete or unrepairable 
steel products each year." 

The standing committees 

ALTERATIONS  OF  SPACE  are  also  a responsibility  of the  space  utilization 
office.  The  largest  alteratio)1  project  is  still  underway  in Fee Hall.  Some of the 
residence  hall  rooms  have  been renovated into classroom  use  and were opened in 
September. Phase II of the  Fee  Hall project,  says Peters,  should be completed in 
February, and Phase ill by the end of next summer. 

Whenever  classroom  space  is  taken  "off-line"  (not  in use)  for  renovation,  it 
involves  locating space somewhere else. The first floor  of Baker Hall and the south 
end  of Fairchild  Theatre are  now  out of use,  says  Armstrong.  And the language 
laboratory in Morrill Hall is "off-line." An experiemntal classroom for filmmaking is 
bemg moved  this week  from  the Instructional Media  Center into  the Morrill  lab. 
Classes normally held in these rooms had to be moved to other buildings. 

"There's no slack time for us," says Peters. "Of course, the week before fall term is 
the most hectic, but 'we  are  constantly trying to find  space for those who need it. 
And we get all kinds of requests for space." 

Someone  wants  a place  to  play his electric guitar  and  drums because  his  dorm 
roommates can't stand the noise ... Someone wants a place to raise a colony of rats. 
. . Religious groups want a place for prayer sessions ... Someone wants to store his 
$700drums ... 

The  Railroad  Club  needs  a  place  to  store  its  new  railroad  car  .  .  .  The  Free 
University needs space to teach an auto mechanics course ... Physics needs space to 
assemble sophisticated, bulky equipment for the National Atomic Laboratory ... Or 
a faculty member gets a grant and hires five  or six  students to conduct research for 
him. Where do you put them? 

. 

*  *  * 
"THE ONLY TIME we really run into trouble is when people think they own the 
space,"  says  Peters.  "We have 992,000 square feet allotted to offices and that's all 
the space we can use for that purpose." 

In  Julie  President  Wharton  sent  a  memorandum  to  all  deans,  directors  and 
department  chairmen reiterating  the  policy  of John Hannah that "classrooms and 
other space used for  educational purposes is  assigned  by the University; and that 
even  though it is located in specialized buildings controlled by the departments or 
colleges,  long-range  space  assignment  does  not  rest  with  the  department  or  the 
college." 

The space utilization office assigns evening classes in as few buildings as possible 
mainly  Bessey, Wells,  Berkey and Erickson. One reason for  the  concentration  of 
scheduling is the problem of getting buildings cleaned after 10:30 p.m; But whether 
the space is scheduled or not, says Peters, all of it has to be heated and lighted.

Helping  the  library extend its 

• 
serVlces 

The  University  Library  Committee 
(ULC) is a "sounding board" for Richard 
Chapin, director oflibraries, according to 
Charles  Press,  chairman  of  political 
science  and  chairman  of the committee. 
Charged  in  the  Bylaws  for  Academic 
Governance to study and evaluate library 
services,  facilities  and  poliCies  -
including  current  and  projected  library 
the committee has been involved 
needs -
in  several  library  policy  decisions, 
including 
the  experiment  to  extend 
library hours until 2 a.m. during the fmal 
examination period. 

A  continuing  concern  of the  ULC  has 
been faculty  check-out privileges, which 
were  recently  cut back to one term, but 
with no penalties. Penalties are, however,  ' 
being considered, Press said. 

The  committee  would  like  first  to 
determine  if  the  length  of time  fll:culty 
keep  books from  the  library  is  indeed a 
problem.  A  study  is  underway  on  how 
many books are checked out by faculty. 
A  warning 
to  faculty 
is  now  sent 
members  when  the  books  are  "due" at 
the end of each term. 
If  it  is  found 

that  faculty  book 
retention  is  a  problem,  the  committee 
will  discuss  how  to  get 
the  books 
returned,  whether there should be a fine 
system, or other alternatives. 

It.. 

A  number  of  alternatives  has  been 
suggested  to ULC,  from  placing  calls  to 
the  faculty  member's  department 
chairman, to making the library a reading 
library where no books would be checked 
out. 

Other concerns of the committee have 

implementation  of  increased  student 
involvement,  the committee will include 
three  undergraduates, 
two  graduate 
students  and  two student members - at -
large. 

Press  does  not  expect  any  significant 

the 

change  in  the  committee's  attitude  or 
work  with 
increased  student 
particiation, since, he said, students have 
been  "helpful,  fairly  reasonable"  and 
committee votes have never divided along 
student - faculty lines. 

been: 

* The  question  of a  "book-rlrop"  so 
persons  returning books would not have 
to enter the library. (The book drop was 
set up earlier this fall). 

* A science library and where it should 

be located. 

* The budget, which was cut back with 
all  department  and  unit  budgets  last 
spring.  Press  suggested  that  perhaps  the 
library  budget should  not have been cut 
since  it  must operate with  fixed  prices. 
The  committee  is  looking  into ways  to 
save  money,  based  on choices presented 
by Chapin. 

* There is a perennial suggestion, Press 
said,  that  the library have  some  sort of 
eating facility. With budgeting problems, 
this cannot now be considered. 

The  ULe  is  comprised  of one  faculty 
three 
member  per  college,  plus 
professional  librarians  (ex  officiO-),  two 
graduate and two undergraduate student 
members (nonvoting),  plus Chapin as an 
ex  officio  member.  By  January,  with  ~

TaIAL  STUDENTS 1 
East  Lansing  Campus 

Significant  increases  in  the  total  of 
ftrst-time  and  transfer  undergraduate 
students offset declines  in transfers and 
readmissions  among 'graduate  students, 
according  to  figures  from  the  Office  of 
the Registrar 

MSU's  fall  "nrollment on  the  campus 
totals  41,649,  compared with 40,511  a 
year  ago.  (See  charts  at left and below.) 
While  the  total  graduate  enrollment 
decreased from 8,335 a year ago to 8,033 
this fall, the undergraduate total went up, 
from  32,176  to  33,616.  The  major 
sources of the undergraduate increase are 
ftrst-time enrollees (from 5,924 to 7,251) 
and transfers (from 1,833 to 2,938-a60 
percent jump). 

Graduate  transfer  students  decreased 
by  23  per  cent  from  last  year  (165  to 
127)  and  graduate  readmissions  went 
down  by 31  per  cent (729 to 500). The 
number  of first-time  graduate  students 
increased, from 1,604 to 1,771. 

Other data reveal:  The  total number of 
women  enrolled increased (4.2 per cent) 
by  more  than the  total number of men 
(up  1.8  per  cent),  although  men  still 
outnumber  women,  23,838  to  17,811; 
the  number  of married  undergraduates 
increased by 11.4per cent (from 3,576 to 
3,982);  social  science  (with  6,721 
students)  has replaced education (where 
enrollment  ceilings  have  beep imposed) 
as  the  largest  degree-granting) college  on 
the campus.

How  to  calculate  'person-stoned-hours per dollar' 

A discussion on "person -stoned hours 
per  dollar"  seems  unlikely  fare  for  an 
economics  term  paper.  But  in  a  paper 
entitled "An Analysis of the Demand for 
Illicit  Marijuana  in  a  University 
Conununity  and  Projections  for  the 
Results  of  a  Tax  on  Legalized 
Marijuana,"  former  student Christopher 
Mallin  takes the social problem and puts 
it in an economic context. 

Written  for  Economics  407,  "Public 
Revenues,"  it  is  one  of  fIve  student  -
written papers for undergraduate courses 
now  published  in  the  fust  economics 
journal  of undergraduate  papers,  called 
"MSU Economist." 

Mallin,  a June graduate  now  at Case  -
Western Reserve Law School, studied the 
illicit  marijuana  in  a 
demand  for 
university  community  (with  the 
consumer's  interest  in  maximizing  his 
person - stoned - hours per dollar, and the 
seller or dealer's risk/beneftt indiffe-rence 
curve). 

He  also  looked  at  profits  earned 

through  liquor  and  tobacco  taxes,  and 
suggested 
that  legalization  and  then 
taxation  of  marijuana  "could  cut  into 
revenues  from  the  liquor  tax,  or 'to  a 
much  lesser  extent,  even  the  tobacco 
tax."  But  the  loss,  he  said,  would  be 
offset by  the revenue gained by the new 
tax. 

''The  people  demand  dope  and  the 
people will be served, so the government 
might  as  well  cash  in  on  it,"  Mallin 
concluded. 

THE  TOP  GRADUATE  from 

the 
College of Business last spring applied his 
original  research  to  a  study  of  ''The 
Economics  of  Heroin  Addiction  in 
Detroit  and  its  Consequences  for  the 
Poor," 
(written  for  Econ.  390:  The 
Economics of Poverty). 

Joseph  Connors  contended  that  a 
heroin  addict's  neighbors  (usually  in  a 
ghetto)  bear  higher  explicit  costs 
associated  with  addiction  because  they 
are  the  victims  of  more  drug-related 
crime  than 'Other residents of Detroit. 

Connors viewed those costs as  a tax or 
involuntary  expenditure  imposed  upon 
them  "simply  by  the  fact  that  heroin 
addiction  exists in  the  community,  and 
that it is largely fl11anced through crime." 

Cpnnors concluded that adverse effects 
of  heroin  addiction  constitute  a  major 
factor  in  "the  continuing 
impoverishment of the urban poor." 

Other articles in the economics journal 
include  "A  Survey  of  Price 
Discrimination Among  Lansing  Area 
Food  Prices," by James M.  Simmons,  a 
June  graduate  in  economics  (Simmons 
found  some  price  discrepancies,  with 
higher  prices  in  downtown  Lansing, 
lower  income  areas  than  in  suburban 
areas  like  Frandor); ''Trade Preferences 
and Developing Countries," by Elizabeth 
Cunningham,  who  was  then a junior in 
Ja:tpes  Madison  College  studying 
international  relations;  and  "Economic , 
Analysis  of  Six  Proposals  to  Improve 
Health  Care  Distribution"  by  Bryan  J. 

Dunlop, an MSU graduate in psychology 
how  in medical  school  at the University 
. 
of Micliigan. 
THE  ECONOMICS  JOURNAL  was 
born  with  the  idea  that  undergraduate 
papers  can  be  creative,  analytical  and 
interesting,  and  that  good  models  of 
writing  could  be selected as an incentive 
for  undergraduates  in  the  department, 
said Daniel Saks, instructor in economics 
and "father" of the journal. 

' 

The  only  criteria  for  papers  in  the 
journal,  Saks  said,  was 
the  use  of 
economic analysis. It just turned out that 
severa~ of the students applied economic, 
analysis  to  contemporary  problems. 
They  also  showed,  he  added,  that  an 
economics  tenn  paper  could  be  an 
interesting kind  of experience,  could be 
"relevant." 

The  papers were  submitted by facuIty 
and selected by a panel offour: Saks, Jan 
Kmenta  and  Lawrence  Officer,  both 
professors, and Mitchell Stengel, assistant 
-BEVERLY 1WITCHELL

Seven  hundred  cream  puffs,  225 
pounds of ham, 1200 -iolls, 60 pounds of 
beef-Beverly Holman  is making out her 
shopping list for dinner. 

Mrs.  Holman  is  among  the  16  food 
service  managers  (five  of  whom  are 
women)  for  MSU's  residence  halls  that 
are home for more than 17,500 students. 
As  food  service  manager  at  WOHders 
Hall,  Mrs.  Holman  is  responsible  for 
having  a possible  22,600 meals available 
each week for some 1,130 students. 

"Of course  every  student  doesn't  eat 
every meal," she says "but we can usually 
expect 1,050 to 1,100 for dinner." 

Mrs.  Holman  oversees 

the  entire 
operation of the Wonders Hall cafeteria, 
in-cl mling  directing  personnel,  menu 
planning and supervising the preparation 
offood. 

Photo  lab 
has supplies 

University departments can now obtain 
photographic  supplies  at  the  Photo 
Laboratory, room 11 in Agriculture Hall. 
Supplies  include  fIlm,  paper  and 
prepared -chemicals.  Purchases  must  be 
made through interdepartmental transfer 
of funds. If a department wishes supplies 
not  ordinarily stocked in the lab, special 
orders  can  be  placed,  said  William  V. 
Mitcham, photo lab manager. 

Purchases  may  be  made  Monday 
through  Friday from.8 a.m. to 12 noon, 
and r p.m. to 5 p.rn. 
Slide  show

"This is Michigan  State University," a 
nine-minute slide-tape overview of MSU, 
is  available  from  the  Department  of 
Information Services. 

The  80  slides  are  synchronized  to 
narration by WKAR's Dick  Estell  and a 
musical  background  provided  by  the 
MSU'Symphonic Band. 

Departments  having  regular  use  for

Her  staff includes  four  cooks,  a stock 
room handler, three food service helpers, 
and a nuniber of students who bus tables 
and wash dishes. 

Mrs. Holman, who  says  she  works  for 
"variety,  color  and  texture 
in  her  menu  planning, 
coordination" 
described a typical dinner menu as having 
two  main  entrees  and  an  "extender" 
item.  Students  are  allowed  seconds  on 
the extender item. 

"Tonight we'll expect 800 to eat ham, 
200 on  the  beef stroganoff, and 200 for 
omelet," she  said. "In addition we'll have 
potatoes, two vegetables, rice and gravies, 
three salads,_ rolls,  bread,  three  desserts, 
and ice cream." 

IS THERE A pattern to student eating 

habits? 

Mrs.  Holman  says,  "Yes,  depending a 

lot on their moo<.:.,. 

"Generally we  must go  through a trial 
and error period, but breakfast counts are 
usually  low.  However,  students 
predictably eat more during examination 
periods than any other time." 
What about complaints? 
"There  are  those  who  eat  and  don't 
grumble,  there  are  those  who  eat  and 
grumble, <ind  there  are  those  who don't 
eat and still grumble," Mrs. Holman said. 
"HamburgerS-in fact  almost anything 
on  a  bun-continue  to  be  student 
favorites," Mrs. Holman said. "Generally 
they  don't  like  mixture  foods,  like 
casseroles, especially if they have little or 
no meat. 

"I'll never serve eggs a la king again."

She  is  working on a master's degree in 

educational psychology at MSU. 

"The  food  service  field  has  been 
male-dominated  for  a  long  time,"  Mrs. 
Holman  says.  "Any  woman  in  this 
position is  a rarity.  But I'd like to feel I 
got _ this  position  not  because  I'm  a 
woman 'or ·a  black  woman,  but  only

Study shows  unrest 
was  played  down 

Two  educational  researchers  have 
reported  that campuses  weren't as quiet 
last year as most people believe, and they 
blame  the  mass  media  for  helping  to 
create the false 'sense of calmness. 

In a study for the American Council on 
Education, Alexander W. Astin and Alan 
E. Bayer reported that "an estimated 462 
higher  educational  institutions  (almost 
20  percent)  experienced  at  least  one 
severe  protest  in  1970-71,  a  figure  that 
represents  a  sizable  portion  of  the 
nation's  colleges  and  universities,  and 
that  is  only  slightly  lower  than  the 
estimate of 1968-69." 

They added that overall, "an estimated 
1,019 institutions ( 43 percent) witnessed 
some  kind  of protest activity during the 
past academic year." 

The Astin-Bayer study was reported in 

-the Chronicle of Higher Education. 

nm  TWO  RESEARCHERS  said that 
although college  students last  year were 
"commonly  characterized -as  being  in  a 
state  of suspended animation, of apathy 
based  on  discouragement. and  cynicism, 
and  of  overriding  calm,"  the  "popular 
view  is  something  of a caricature  of the 
real situation." 

They added:  "The mass media tended 
to ignore  what was, as recently as a year 
ago, big news; Part of this tendency is no 
doubt  attributable  to  the  well-known ' 
fickleness  of the  popular  press, which is 
always  on  the  lookout  for  the  newest 
news  and,  consequently, quick to shelve 
any issue that may seem stale." 

Another  reason  for  the  "distorted 
picture  of campus  unrest,"  the  report 
said,  is  that protests declined  at "larger 
and  more  prestigious  institutions,  even 
though they have become more common 
at  the  smaller  and less  selective  colleges 
and universities." 

*  *  * 
ASTIN  AND  BAYER  acknowledged 
that  1970-71  was  calm compared to the 
preceding  year  with  Earth  Day,  the 
Vietnam  moratorium,  Kent  State  and 
Jackson  State,  which  was,  "from  a 
newsman's point of view, "outstanding." 
"But  compared  with  the  1968-69 
academic year, generally regarded as one 
in  which  campuses  were  in  a  state  of 
extreme  disruption,  the  1970-71 
academic  year  was  only  slightly  more 
quiet." 

It is  ironic,  they  noted,  that  a  year 
earlier  the mass  media had "overstated" 
the severity of campus unrest. 

On other campuses 

THE D. A. AT U-M.  Twenty - one  students are  enrolled in a new doctor of arts 
program initiated  this fall in the English department at the University of Michigan. 
It is  U-M's  fIrst  attempt  at  a  doctoral  degree  that stresses  teaching rather than 
research. It is designed chiefly to prepare English teachers for community colleges, 
particularly those in urban  areas.

Ten colleges will select 
faculty  award recipients 

The Steering Committee of the Faculty 
drew  lots  early  this  week  to  determine 
which  colleges  shall  select  recipients for 
Distinguished Faculty Awards. 

Procedures  for  selection of the awards 
were  recently  changed  from  a  central 
committee  to  selection by  the  colleges. 
For purposes of the  award, Cooperative 
Extension Service  and  the MSU Library 
are to be considered "colleges." 

Because  of  the  new  procedures,  10 
awards  will  be  presented  each  year 
instead of the former six. 

Colleges with 200 or more facuIty are 
to  select  a winner  each year. Those are: 
Agriculture  and  natural  resources;  arts 
and  letters  with  Justin  Morrill;  natural 
science  with  Lyman  Briggs;  social 
science  with James Madison; University 
College;  and the Cooperative Extension 
Service. 

Colleges  with  100 to  199  facuIty  will 
select a winner every two years. Those are, 
beginning  in  1972:  Business  and 
education. Noncollege  faculty, including 
the Counseling Center and the facuIty in 
the library, will select their award winner 
in 1973. 

Colleges  with  30  to  99  faculty  will 
select  a  winner  every  third  year.  The 
library  and  human  medicine  will  select 
winners  in  1972;  engineering, 
communication  arts  and  veterinary 
medicine will  select winners in 1973; and 
human ecology and osteopathic medicine 
will select winners in 1974. 

The  a wards  will  continue  to  be 
presented at the spring convocation with 
Teacher-Scholar (for junior faculty) and 
Excellence-in-Teaching  (graduate 
assistants)  awards.  Those  award winners 
will  be  selected by a central committee .
