Four to become Honorary Alumni Fuzak Feurig Adams Daugherty ~our familiar Michigan State fi~res will be named Honorary Alwnni during this weekend's Homecoming activities. They are Acting President Walter Adams professor of economics; Coach Hugh Duffy Daugherty, professor of health: physical education and recreation; Dr. James Feurig, director of Olin Health ~enter; and John A. Fuzak, professor and director, School of Advanced Studies m the College of Education. Adams, holder of a Distinguished Faculty Award and faculty member since 1947, steps down as acting president next Jan. 2. Daugherty also came to MSU in 1947, was named head football coach in 1954, and a year later was cited by his colleagues as "Football Coach of the Year." Dr. Feuri& became a staff physician in 1953, took over as health center director in 1961 and since 1968 has also been a professor of medicine. Fuzak, MSU's representative to the Big Ten, is also associate dean of education. He was vi~ president for student affairs for three years until 1967. The new Honorary Alumni will receive their awards at Friday's Homecoming reception and dinner. Ex-teacher Mrs. Case will be 100 Monday By JAMES H. DENISON Consultant to the President Sixty-nine years ago this fall, the new "Woman's Hall" opened at Michigan Agricultural College. At the same time" a new faculty member began teaching phySical training to women in the tw(H;tory gymnasium which was an outstanding feature of that building, now Morrill Hall. Next Monday (Nov. 3) that new teacher, then Miss Sarah B.S. Avery, will mark her lOOth birthday at her home in Charlottesville, Va. She served on the faculty for six years, .and is MSU probably the oldest surviving former teacher. But she has an even greater claim on the memory and affection of University people, for she and her long-time husban~ have been benefactors of the University. One of MSU's newest residence halls bears their names-Albert H. and Sarah Avery Case. Their gifts over the years now amount to more than $1 million in three funds. One, the Albert Vaughn Case Scholarship Fund, was estal>lished Columbia University in 1905, and he the and Mrs. Case were married following year. MSU granted the honorary Doctor of Engineering degree to him in 1945, and Columbia conferred its Medal of Achievement on him in 1947. He was a mining engineer, and his from his mining wealth came explorations and investments, principally in Central America. Mrs. Case prepared for teaching fust at Oberlin College, and later as a student of the famous Dr. D.A. Sargent, then at Harvard. His school, the -Sargent ,College of Allied Health Professions, is now a part of Boston University. than interest Her course at MSU encompassed far more formal physical training-although by her deSCription of . it in the student paper of 1900, she proposed to form basketball teams and encourage young women to take an active tennis, walking, in bicycling, skating, etc. It included lectures on physiology and hygiene, physical and occupational therapy, and "therapeutic recreation." The course was required, and coeds were given credit. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Case lived abroad much of their lives, and spent their later years in Tampa, Fla., before purchasing an estate, "Four Acres," in Charlottesville. She was an ardent collector of antiques, their home was crowded with and countless articles of value. She once commented the Thomas that when Jefferson home in Charlottesville was restored, she had supplied many of the pieces of period furniture. Soon after the death of Mr. Case in 1962-she was 93 at the time-Mrs. Case was persuaded to move into a private nursing home. On her 95th birthday, students living in Case Halls sent her flowers and hundreds of birthday greetings. This year, the University will send flowers, and the felicitations of Acting President Adams. She is in good health and spirits, and continues to read extensively. Anyone wishing to send greetings on this occasion can address her as follows: Mrs. Albert H.

DOWNS Biology and Medicine Editor Before the week is out, Michigan State may be told that it is to be the site for a state- supported Coll~ge of Osteopathy. So might Wayne State University or the University of Michigan, but experienced observers are saying that MSU will get the nod. Enrolled House Bill 2196 requires that the State Board of Education establish such a college "at an existing campus of a state university with an existing school or college of medicine." The location is to be determined by the State Board within 90 days of enactment, or by next Monday, Nov. 3 Even after the State Board acts, however, several weeks if not months probably will be needed to try to work out details to the mutual satisfaction of the chosen university, the. 'osteopathic profession, the legislature and the governor. the State Board, MSU's position was spelled out in a paper adopted by the Board of Trustees at its September meeting, in response to a request from the State Board. * * * Seven conditions, the paper states, should be clearly understood: -Full cooperation of the osteopathic including cancellation pr:ofession o~ assignment to MSU of the private college charter of the Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicme and assignment of its assets and liabilities to MSU. -A timetable for development and commitment by all the osteopathic profession and state officials to provide adeauate fmancial support. -At least 45 additional faculty would be needed and construction would have to be started on Life Sciences III and IV as soon as possible. (Life Sciences I is under construction. Life Sciences IT and a teaching hospital are being planned for MSU's fow-;;:ear medical program.) -The advisory boar esta . ed by the legislation would not "compromise the prerogatives of the Board of Trustees." It is recommended that the governor appoint consumers of health services, as well as health profes'sionals, to the advisory group. transfer -The position of the college, its students and its faculty would be the same as those of other colleges within the University. Students would be able to other colleges. to Nonosteopathic students would be allowed to enrol in osteopathic courses. * * * -Adequate funding of the existing College of Hwnan Medicine would be a first priority in medical education. -The Michigan Osteopathic College Foundation, a fund-raising organization, is to remain, but focus its efforts on the development of the new college. Presumably, Wayne State- and Michigan have not informed the State Board of their positions, but not in public announcements. The MSU positions paper states that the osteopathic college would have "the same privileges and restrictions accorded other colleges within the university." It goes on to anticipate maximum sharing of courses, faculty and facilities as has been the case in the development of the College of Human Medicine. In the meantime, the privately chartered Michigan College of Osteopathy has enrolled a first class of 20 students in Pontaic and, judging from its public statements, hopes to remain there. While the only buildings to date are an office building and a basic sciences building, the college has been actively developing plans for additional facilities.

A total of $58, 049.32 was pledged at the first report session last Tuesday. The second report meeting is slated for this afternoon at 4. Ombudsman James Rust: a lot of listening. Ombudsman after two years provides more student help By GAIL MORRIS Assistant News Bureau Editor sometimes he can't, and occasionaIlly he's been taken in. J ames Rust the nation's is longest-serving'ombudsman at a major university. He's beginning his third year on the job, and in commercial parlance, "business is booming." Twice as many students have come to him with problems so far this term than during the same period last year . Obviously students are becoming . more aware that the 'office exists; ,The increased traffic does not necessarily indicate that they are having more problems. Though the ombudsman position is now fairly well established at some 20 universities, including UCLA, Berkeley, Columbia and San Jose State, its role is still an issue, still being questioned and defined. "Is he a man who perfonns service or is he an agent of change," asks Rust. "Some of my counterparts think their mission is to refonn the university. In that respect, I guess I'd be classified as an arch-conservative." He views his job as perfonning a service to students. At the same time, however, he is collecting infonnation on trends of grievances and complaints as supporting evidence for changes he will recommend. For' example, the change in the fee structure at Michigan State from "ability to pay" to a fixed fee per credit was largely the result of a report from Rust on student complaints. * * * In submitting the report, Rust noted that "putting in a new system is going to produce problems we have not had before." True to prophecy, he is now hearing some complaints about inequities in the new system. Both he the registrar's office are now and collecting information to support any changes they recommend. calls He is also busy defending a proposed "Faculty Code of Teaching Responsibilities." He it a much-needed document, and says_he has listened to reports of professors who cut classes, don't keep office hours, use 'profanity in class, or don't explain their intended grading systems, or course objectives. Money and academics are the two big "beefs" students bring to Rust. Usually he can help solve their problems. But * * * A 1969 doctoral student surveyed 218 of the 305 students who visited Rust during fall term of 1968 and found that two-thirds said the ombudsman helped relieve student frustration and hostility. reports Howard R. Rowland, considered the problems they took to the ombudsman "completely solved," while a ' thlrd replied, ''Not solved at all." Nearly half, . : Typical of the favorable responses was this comment from a student whose fmancial burdens made it essential that she be released from her food contract in a donn: "If I had no recourse beyond the administration stumbling block, I would not be in school now. I am gratified to know that in an enonnous university like this there is at least one person who cares." Less favorable ractions included: "The office as I see it is just a fIgUrehead." And: "The way the office seems to work now is not really to cut through the bureaucracy but 'to point the student back into it." I n his study Rowland cautions is a university administrators, "It mistake for an institution to appoint an ombudsman to solve political problems. Even when performing effectively, the ombudsman cannot prevent student confrontations of a political nature," he writes. To his knowledge, Rust has never been involved in helping an "activist" student solve a problem which, if left unsolved, might have led to such a confrontation. He seems to agree with Rowland that student the ombudsman "relieves improves pressures and frustrations, administration and corrects small injustices, but he does not put down mass student rebellions." Rust say:. lIe welcomes creation of the "Listening Ear," the crisis intervention center established late last spring to counsel seriously troubled members of the community. In fact, Rust would like to see his own position "wither on the vine and fade away." He believes that if every office on campus were operating at full efficiency "we wouldn't need an ombudsman." Alfred D. Hershey Nobel Wlnner was a 'loner' • Ms{fF~culty News, ucf 1fr9~~ By PHILLIP E. MILLER Associate Editor for Science .Alfred Day Hershey, on" A the newest Nobel prizewinners, fIrst came to the Michigan State campus as a loner, and' a loner he remained. Like many freshmen he was not sure what major he should declare. A graduate in bacteriology (B.S., 1930) and chemistry (Ph.D., 1934), Hershey is now director of the Genetics Research Unit of the Carnegie Institution. In a Faculty News interview a few days ago, Hershey reminisced: "I remember before registration that I had already signed up for engfueering. I don't know why (to bacteriology)." I changed Several teachers at MSU influenced his career. The frrst he recalled was W. S. Kimball. "He was , my mathematics teacher," Hershey said. "He had a stimulating mind." Hershey then hesitated and added, "But I had to learn calculus after I got out of college." In the early 1930s bacteriology was powing in strength at MSU.Its challenge captured young Hershey. interests extended "My frrst real entrance into science was in (Ward) Giltner's department," he said. Hershey also recalled Walter L. Mallmann and late Henrik J. the Stafseth in bacteriology, and the late R. C. Huston and C. D. Ball in chemistry. Although engrossed in bacteriology, Hershey's into chemistry, and his graduate work was in both fIelds. The a che~strY-bacte~.oiow ,inixmay be illuminated' by Arthur 'Koestler;s remarks in "The Act of Creation." He said that creative acts of great men are two "the P!eviously unrelated skills, or matrices of thought." impact of such interlocking of sudden Hershey's entrance into chemistry was not sudden, of course. But his frrst step , toward the blend of chemistry and microbiology (and later genetics) was necessary to lay the groundwork for his role in molecular biology. And it was needed for his relentless pursuit ~f the elusive mechanism of ' replication of genetic material--a mechanism fundamental to man and creature, and perhaps to the very essence of biological life. Reflecting on his transition toward chemistry, Hershey said, "My Ph.D. in chemistry was pure accident. "I had a fellowship under (I. F.) Huddleson. It was'hi~ idea to go into the chemistry of Brucella (the kind of bacteria a fever-causing disea~e). chronic Huddleson asked me to work a deal with chemistry for a joint degree." that causes brucellosis To this day, Hershey is not sure who decided on the Ph.D. in chemistry. the chemical The Nobel laureate described his entry investigation, of into Brucella as the key to his future work which led to the Nobel prize. In the early 1940s, Hershey plunged into another great dimension of science, genetics. He became interested in the phages of bacteria, whose viru'ses that attack and devour bacteria. The flames of this new interest were fanned by Max Delbruck (Cal Tech) and S. E. Luria (MIT) who now share the 1969 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine with Hershey. "I go interested in bacteriophages because of my chief in St. Louis. Then, a few years later, around 1941 maybe, I met Delbruck and Luria who interested me (in bacteriophages). That was when, in I interested recall, I got bacteriophages and problems genetics. - in "From then on, bacteriophages and genetics ruled my life." Luria, Delbruck and Hershey make up one of frrst "invisible colleges" of molecular biologists. "We all decided to concentrate on the biology of bacteriophages. Actually, I was the most biochemical of tRe three. The other two were more genetical, I guess, in approach. Initially, the thre~ Nobel Laureates evidently did not even dream that DNA was a key to explaining how things reproduce themselves. Hershey is the brother of the late Prof. Robert Hershey, of MSU's foods and nutrition and an extension agent. Of the important teachers that the Nobel laureate recalls, only Mallmann is still active at MSU. Ball now resides in Austin, Texas. Hershey is remembered on campus as the "bright nonconformist who often worked all night and slept all day." The late Huddleson remarked that Hershey would not have fmished his research without the opportunity to pace himself-a faculty obseIVation that may have application for bright students today. Asked if he had any work for MSU students of science, Hershey said', ''There is lots to do." Part II: Law school here would help meet state needs The second portion of the University's proposal for a College of Law refers to the present supply of in Michigan and outlines the need for more attorneys. lawyers Further sections of the proposal, submitted by a committee of faculty and local attorneys, will be printed in future issues of the Faculty News. II. Rationale for 'the Proposal Michigan State Uf!lversity makes this proposal after a careful study of ( 1) the supply and demand of lawyers to seIVe not only an increasing population, but the growing needs of an increasingly complex society for legal services, (2) the opportunities now available for young persons in Michigan to enter public seIVice through law, and (3) a strategic location for the establishment of an additional college of law in the siate. industrial A. The Need for Lawyers: The need for legal services in our increasingly complex urban, society continues to grow at a faster rate than the growth of the population for a number of reasons among which are -lli~se: 1 Society is beginning to recognize that ali persons, in order to be equal under the law need regardless of the~ econ,omic means. Somehow, legal services , must be made available to the poor and others who have not had these vital benefits. services legal 2. Legal services must also be supplied in greater amounts to others who have long benefited from such services but who now find more needs because of the complexity of social, business and governmental processes. 3. As the numbel' of laws increases and legal problems become mO.Ie complex, legal service to a given individual or group consumes more man hours than ever before. 4. Persons educated in law schools are in demand for a wide variety of careers in government, business and other social institutions. Law schools .report that the num~r o~ in~duals, fttms, 01 agencies seekmg to mtemew graduating law students has at least doubJed in recent years. in found law schools To supply the needs of the nation for lawyers, the Association of American Law Schools estimates that places must for an be additional 25,000 students by 1975. At a maximum, existing schools across the nat jon might accommodate 10,000 additional students. At 500 students per school, the remaining 15,000 must be accommodated in 30 new law schools. As the seventh most populous state, Michigan should surely provide at least one of these. law degrees . The professional inadequacy of is this number demonstrated by the decision of both the University of Detroit and Wayne their State University facilities. As a consequence of this expansion and a decrease in the dropouT rate of law students from 4045% in the early years of the decade to 25-30% in recent years, the number of degrees in Michigan reached 807 in 1967-1968. to expand The increase in less than a decade from 368 to over 800 fIrst professional law degrees is encouraging and might be taken as an indication of a continuing trend were it not also true that the number.of frrst year students admitted to Michigan law schools each year has leveled off at just slightly over 1,100 students, indicating that the growth potential of the existing colleges of law is limited, if not exhausted. C. The Implications of the Present Level of Law Enrollments in the State. In view of the above analysis showing a leveling off of enrollments in Michigan in recent years and the increasing need for lawyers, it must be concluded that Michigan will soon confront a crisis in the supply of lawyers. Beyond this, however, the University and the State have further concerns: 1 . In di vidual Opportunity: One fundamental responsibility of the educational system is to provide opportunity for young people to develop their particular talents and eventually make their maximum contnbution to society. The fact is that the opportunity to study law has decreased shaIply during the 1960's. While the number of earned bachelor's degrees increased by 66% in this decade, the enrollment in the law schools - presumed now to ' be near capacity - increased only 28%. In order for students who were graduated from Michigan colleges in, 1967-68 to have had the same opportunity for admission to study law in the state as those who were graduated in 1960-61, 340 more places would have been needed. involvement of students 2. Opportunity for Trained Leadership in Public SeIVice: Students today are showing a new interest in careers in public service as evidence by the increased interest of students in the social problems in today's society, the increased in voluntary social service, and the increasing proportion of majors in social sciences and related areas. Opportunities for professional training for such public service should reflect these interests. Such opportunities include adequate places in College of Law for qualified students. .

Alfred Hershey Anderson urges Council coverage To the Editor: Three issues of the MSU Faculty News do not form a set pattern, but I am already concerned over some signifIcant omissions in news coverage to date. I had hoped this publication would give a kind and depth of coverage of the proceedings of faculty government-such as Academic Council and Academic Senate-that the State News carmot (and probably need not) undertake . Already, extremely lively and significant debates have taken place · in the Academic council, and the Faculty News has ignored them. It is my earnest hope that the Faculty News will at all times seek thorough coverage of important debates and decisions carried oot by the faculty. Otherwise I fear that this newspaper will swiftly lose the interest of many faculty members. James R. Anderson Instructor, humanities, and assistant director, Honors College.
