It combines the Faculty News and the MSU Bulletin, otherwise known as the "Blue Sheet." improve and expand In introducing theweekly News-Bulletin, we have a single objective in mind: To the opportunities for communication among administrators, facu1ty and staff at MSU. Despite diversity in our assignments, all of us who are employed by the University share a common bond of interest in the institution and the quality of its service tQ students and the state of Michigan. We hope to bridge the "knowledge gap" within this important segment of the MSU community about what the University stands for and what its people are thinking and doing. In carrying out this purpose, we will not be an administration paper., but rather a UniversIty paper. We wiU seek to be a "newspaper of record" in reflecting major poliCies, but not to the exclusion of providing true and balanced reporting on controversial issues. Our columns will try to represent accurately, informatively and objectively the events and policies which interest or affect the permanent members of the MSU community. We undoubtedly will make mistakes from time to time, but they will be honest errors rather than from malice or guile. Credibility will be jealously protected. A word about fmances: How, you may query, can the University afford to expand its weekly newspiper in times of economic stringency? We are glad you asked th.at question. The answer is that it is cheaper. By merging the Facu1ty News and the Blue Sheet, we are able to achieve significant dollar savings even while doubling the number of pages. This is a rare case of getting more for less. There was much sou1- searching before the decision was made to incorporate the Blue Sheet into the new News - Bulletin. The weekly events schedule has had wide acceptance and use in its previous form, and there was reluctance to jeopardize a good thing. However, two factors were persuasive: The economics of the Situation, and the desirability of providing our readership with a single news publication rather than two separate ones. You will note that the bulletin information will be presented in an easily accessible and identifiable format on the last two pages of the paper. Finally, to our friends at the State News, we would like to say that it is not our intention to compete with them in the traditional sense of newspaper rivalries. After all, they publish five days a week and have a circulation of 40,000; we publish only once a week, with a circulation of less than 10,000. The State News serves a major information role on campus which we do not and cannot seek to fill, and the News - Bulletin will not be favored over the State News when there is important news to announce. Inevitably, however" there will be occasions when we have something they wish they had printed, and vice versa. This may be good for the sou1 as well as journalistic alertness. We hope you will enjoy and use th.e MSU News - Bu11etin. Its staff will depend upon you for much of its news and ideas. Its letter columns, puticularly, are open to the barbed as well as the benign comment. In short, we hope to promote understanding and unity within the University community and not divisiveness. Robert Perrin Vice president for university relations Page 2, MSV News'- Bulletin; Aprill~ f971 ' Nellor proposes environment plan John E. Nellor, assistant vice president of research development and chairman of a new national committee on the environment, has outlined a plan for better from universities to industry, government and the public. transfer of resources Nellor is chairman of the environment committee of the Council for Research Policy and Administration of the National Association of State Universities and Land - Grant Colleges. It is time the universities had their appropriate share of involvement in planning national priorities, he said. "So far it has been mainly government panels and the like which influence national policy decisions by speaking on what universities are and should be doing." He urged higher education to mobilize its interdisciplinary efforts to be more useful to society. "Everyone is trying to get something done on environmental quality, but no one is biased," he said. "Our concept is to attempt to provide proper representation and to build a sort of catalog of available experts. These experts would be available to public interests." OUT OF 'THE BAG' That March 12 issue of Medical World News' contains a feature on MSU;s Arnold Werner and his "Doctor's Bag." the popular State News It reports column is now syndicated and reaches 200,000 - plus students through some 50 campus newspapers.

The Faculty "ask similar sorts of things, though less about sexual physiology and more about sexual activity." I Council -_ .. (Concluded from page 1) petitions supporting the moratorium. Of 56 Elected Faculty Council members approached with the petition, 48 (or 86 refused to percent) have signed and 8 sign. Two members" are on leave overseas, and two are in administrative positions and were not approached. (One is a department chairman and one is the executive vice president of the University.) Of 393 other faculty contacted in 25 departments, 350 had signed the petition by early this week, and 43 had refused. The petitions are still being circulated in other departments, Bonnen said. Persons who have already sign'ed cards supporting collective bargaining have also signed the petition because they are concerned, Bonnen said, "about the legitimacy of the process." An important part of the resolution, which may be offered as a separate motion, Bonnen said, is the idea of having the faculty affairs committee study and report to the Elected Faculty Council and disadvantages of the options now before the faculty. advantages the on REDUCING UNEMPLOYMENT Adoption of a public service employment program is the best way to reduce current unemployment, Charles C. Killingsworth recently told the House Select Subcommittee on Labor. The University Professor of Labor and Industrial Relations said the Nixon Administration has been unable to cope with the jobless problem because it is "the unwitting victim of a powerful bias and illusion." The illusion, he said, is the mistaken belief that jobs in the private sector are more productive than jobs in the public sector." PESTICIDES WRONGED? of pesticides Criticisms have emphasized their drawbacks and often overlooked their advantages, says James W. Butcher, entomologist and assistant dean of natural science. He recently told a Partners of the Americas conference in Costa Rica that public uneasiness about pesticides has been caused by "uneven documentation" the negative aspects of the' chemicals. Butcher reminded the conferees that DDT alone has been credited with saving five million lives and preventing 100 million illnesses between 1939 and 1953. emphasizing KARABATSOSHONORED This week in Los Angeles, the American Chemical Society presented its award in petroleum chemistry to Gerasimos J. Karabatsos, professor of chemistry. This is the second time that a chemist at MSU has received the prestigious award. The only other university with this distinction is the University of California at Berkeley. Harold Hart of MSU received the award in 1962. 'CMLIANIZATIONS' Policemen of the future will shed many of their military trappings and look more like the peacemakers and community service officers they are, predicts Arthur Brandstatter, director of the School of Criminal Justice. He said few police duties actually require the wearing of a uniform and that as a symbol of force, the uniform may sometimes tend to escalate force. ,He also foresees new rank titles, changes in organizational structure and greater involvement in community crime prevention activities.

That recommendation would representation and hav,e umestricted voting rights for students on the Academic Council and all its committees, including the faculty affairs and faculty compensation committee.

When USAC has revised the student participation report according to these recommendations,' the document will once again require the approval of the Academic Council and Senate, and then will be returned to the Trustees.

GMSTOCK At an informal session the night before its March meeting, the Board heard a report on the question of the voting MSU's shares of General Motors stock. The business affairs committee met last month to hear presentations from both GM management and the Committee on Corporate Responsibility (an outgrowth of the Ralph Nader -led "Campaign GM" which has offered proposals for vote at the GM annual meeting). Both Thompson and Merriman voiced concern over the campaign of the Committee on Corporate Responsibility. Merriman noted that in viewof MSU's pressing fmancial problems, it may be inappropriate to become involved in the issues of companies on management whom the University might rely for support. Stevens said that "it is a sad day for this Board" if it has to base its decisions on whether they might offend "General Motors or Ford or the AFL - CIO." Thompson said the campaign is "a move to embarrass GM," and he added: "As long as I have anything to say, I'm going to support the employers who have helped make this country what it is."

He will return to teaching and r~h interests. The report, written by news following editor Barbara bureau assistant Mcintosh, summarizes Ivey's projections of some of the changes facing his college. For years Michigan State has graduated more teachers than any other school in the nation. But that is about to change. in further Overcrowded, understaffed, and threatened the current fmancial squeeze, MSU's College of Education made the critical decision nearly two years ago to search for fit means available resources, according to Dean John E. Ivey Jr. limit enrollment to to Ivey noted that in the last 10 years, enrollment in the College of Education has swelled from 3,354 in 1960-61 to 11,216 in 1970-71. In the last six years, the enrollment figure doubled with little or no additional financial support to accompany it. At the same time the demand for teachers is changing. In well - paying, efficient school districts, applications number in the hundreds for only a few positions. In educationally deprived urban areas, the public school system continues to deteriorate. * * * IVEY FORESEES increasing College of Education effort to change this pictWe.. little to - attempt various oppo'rtunity innovations. essential for effective and" . MSU has had too efficient ways to improve the quality of education, he pointed out. "Moreover, limitations of the enrollment will allow the selection of the higher quality undergraduate, as well as the graduate enrollments. students for "With fewer numbers, the college will also be in a position to expose students to teaching before the last part of their formal education. Early in their studies they need the opportunity to determine the answer to the question, 'Do I really want to do this?' " rather than allowing And Ivey underscores the need to plan relevant educational 'activities for the 1980s large numbers of students restrict pioneering. Ivey says that MSU will continue to develop its unique cluster approach to student teaching. Currently about half of the college's undergraduates do student teaching under this program. In the cluster approach, a student is assigned to a building rather than an individual supervising teacher. Thus under the direction of area consultants, students are exposed to a variety of teaching methods and are encouraged to participate in general community programs connected with the school. * * * MOST IMPORTANT, Ivey sees the College of Education moving forward as community action agency. "The schools of this state," he explained, "have the opportunity and the responsibility to play a more direct role in community development. Our students need to spend more time away froni campus. We cannot be a cultural island Jnthe community." John Ivey: Changes coming to the College of Education.

Commencement review: President Wharton on University pride • • • Here are excerpts from President Clifton Wharton's remarks during the commencement March exercises: 14 winter . . . Taking pride in one's university does not require blind acceptance of things as they are, nor does it imply agreement with the administration or Board of Trustees on all issues. It is not merely a cheap form of patriotism - "my university right or wrong . . ." Quite the contrary is true. about In fact, those who raise serious questions the policies and direction of the University are often among those with the greatest pride and fondness for Michigan State. They care so much that they are unwilling to remain silent or allow events to pass them by. They see problems, inequities, and the need for change and reform. Or · .. McCree asks for patience FoUowing are excerpts from the winter term commencement address by u.s. Court of Appeals Judge Wade H. McCree of Detroit: . . . We, as educated people, have a special obligation to our nation at a time like this. We must not be tempted to resort to extra - legal means however frustrating our efforts might be to change policies. I acknowledge that, to date, efforts to change our military action have not bome fruit, but I counsel patience and point to the change in expressed policy as grounds for hope. I also counsel forebearance from violence despite frustration over substantial compliance with court decisions and legislative edicts against racial discrimination. I remind you that there is movement and that violence invites resistance and counter force. I remind you that as educated men and women, your example will be followed by other elements of our society, and that if you resort to extra - legal measures because of policy or practice you dislike, you must be prepared to accept violent resistance by others to laws or practices which you may favor. to answer consequences of Education extends privileges but imposes obligations. Educated people the can be held foreseeable their behavior. Let us not win a victory be by extra - legal means and destroy our society by subverting the genius of our government. for I refuse to despair over the apparent inability of the individual citizen to be in accomplishing change. I effective invite in my jOin me commitment to realistic optimism in which we will measure our success by progress even if we never usher in the perfect society. you to they may see what they consider to be unneeded change which in their view violates or is contrary to an important principal or goal. The point is - whether he be student or faculty member or. administrator serving on an important committee, as a member of the Academic Council, an active participant in student government or the student newspaper - he cares enough to sacrifice his time and energy in an attempt to improve some aspect of the academic or social life On this campus.

There are also these individuals, regardless of role, who speak from a platform of vested interest, whose motivations are partisan or personal, and whose questioning takes the form of self - the service institution.

IN ADULT EDUCATION, Ivey toward the "open predicts a move university." As envisioned by the Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foundation, students will be able to register, read and watch television at home and return to campus to take final exams . While limiting enrollment will provide the flexibility to offer students better training and for free reallocation in community development directions, the ceiling will not be without problems. resources Every department with prospective secondary teachers (students majoring in a subject area other than education) will be effected. Aheady the number of new students enrolling in elementary education has been limited to 900. This number has been as high as 1,200 to 1,500 in the past. The major impact of this limitation has yet to be felt, however, Ivey points out. He explains that there has been little effect on enrollment from last fall's moratorium. Enrollment in the college increased by three, from 6,594 to 6,597. The number of dual enrollments dropped from 4,723 to 4,652, bringing the total number of students pursuing education this number totaled 11,317. to 11,249. In 1969 Specific recommendations on in individual curriculum secondary education teacher training will be released shortly through the Provost's Office. limits Chemistry seminars Three distinguished scientists will visit the chemistry department during April and May in a series conducted through the department's Center of Excellence grant the National Science from Foundation. Visiting April 12 - 15 will be G. Wilkinson, professor of chemistry at Imperial College in London. Other lecturers are John A. Pople of Carnegie Mellon University (May 10 - 12) and Paul Delahay, New York University (May 17 - 20). Page 4, MSU News - Bulletin, April 1, 1971 Ombudsman report says business is up "the eternal and everlasting problem of grades." Other categories of problems and their percentage frequency are: *Problems of housing - 12 per cent. The majority are cases of students inquiring about how to get out of residence hall contracts. * Admission and registration - 11.2 per cent. The most common complaint concerns getting into needed or wanted courses, especially in the art department and sociology, Rust said, and problems regarding student teaching assignments. *University facilities and services - 6.5 per cent - covering the bus service, the library (usually book fines), and a few on Olin Health Center. * Auto use and police - 4.9 per cent. Rust said he hears complaints regarding traffice tickets and requests for student parking permits. Usmilly, he said; he advises the students of their rights and the appeal procedures. He explains cannot overrule decisions of the University Traffic Committee. *Student employment - 4.9 per cent including students who want jobs or regarding - who have complaints conditions of employment. *Student records - 4.4 per cent - including drops and adds, problems regarding transcripts or alleged errors in student records. * Academic requirements - 3.4 per cent. *Problems oLa personal nature ~ 3.1 per cent. These may include emotional problems (which Rust said he refers to the Counseling Center), legal problems (usually concerning apartment leases), and draft and "general bewilderment." *Academic advice - 2.9 per cent. *Academic status - 1.4 per cent. Rust said not as many complaints are received the Minimum Academic Progress Scale has been in effect. this category since in *Miscellaneous - 1 p~r cent. * * * ABOUT 57 PER CENT of the fall term complaints were problems of a non - academic nature, and about 43 per cent were of a academic nature. This is the reverse of what is usually the case in his yelr - end reports, Rust said, and he attributes it to the tight ecomonic situation. More than half of the students seen last fall were upperclassmen: Juniors, 31 per cent; _seniors, 25.6 per cent; sophomores, 16 per cent; graduate students, 12 per cent; freshmen, 7.5 per cent. Others were; Persons not a student at the time, 4.4 per cent; alumni, 2 per cent; special program students, 1.3 per cent; one group of students and one parent. Distribution by sex roughly equals the total University the distribution student population, Rust said, with a 3:2 ration of men to women. in All colleges were represented among complainants, though high on the list were: Social science, 21.2 per cent of the total student complaints heard by the ombudsmen; University College, 20.3 per cent; arts and letters, 12.2 per cent, and education, 9.4 per cent. There are no significant changes in the, order of frequency of complaint categories, Rust said. to Some faculty have been in violation of University regulations regarding final examinations, according to Ombudsman James D. Rust, and "if they do not want the University follow final regulations concerning examinations, they should change or abolish them." Rust has from that faculty students who complain change dates of final examinations and - home finals, which are assign against UniverSity regulations. He has also received complaints of hourly examinations given during the last week of classes, though this is not against University regulations. received reports take Complaints on examinations are among one of the largest categories of complaints the ombudsman's office hears, according to an interim report from Rust to President Wharton. Science notes The report covers fall term 1970, when Ted Brooks and Don Ensley were appointed, respectively, associate and assist an t ombudsman. The addition of the two men was followed by a 16 per cent increase in business for the ombudsman's office, compared to fall term of 1969. Because students often bring in more than one problem, the increase in the number of problems heard was 17 per cent. * * * THE LARGEST single category of complaints were problems of fees and tuition (25.7 per cent of-the total). Rust said includes problems of refunds, scholarships and loans and unpaid bills. that this The next largest category of complain ts is "prob~ems of instruction" (18.3 per cent), including complaints regarding examinations and, Rust said, Science may be emerging from its long doldrums adviser cited was the RANN program (Research Applied to National Needs). "Through this program," said David, "the university research community will have an opportunity to engage in work which is 'relevant' in the best sense of that over - used term. 'Secondly, we have authorized the start on the high energy atmospheric observatory. This project by NASA will enable us to investigate x-ray and cosmic ray sources in the universe." And planetary exploration efforts by NASA will be increased, he said. * * * ANOTHER CONCERN David cited was research that aimed at irnproveing energy sources. "The AEC's liquid metal fast breeder reactor, which promises to be a major course Of clean energy in the 1980s, will be accelerated, and of course there is the President's cancer initiative. These and other creative efforts on a smaller scale indicate to me that the'value of breaking new. ground are clearly reflected in the '72 budget. ". . . Other nations will push us in the 1970s," he said, "and we must meet that challenge." * * * YET IN ALMOST the same breath David mentioned the problem of 30,000 to 40,000 unemployed scientists and engineers, an unemployment rate of about 3 to 4 per cent. Phycists are most effected. Placement and retraining is being planned for these unemployed. Second, the goverment is trying to cutback on the rate of increase of the pool of scientists and engineers. This means graduate programs will get the brunt of the cutback that will continue to hit universities. Thirdly, he said, the administration is trying to increase the rate at which activity is shifted from defense and aerospace to civilian problems. Grounding of the supersonic transport this development no d,oubt planned increase. jolted Where is science is the U.S. going? At a recent conference in Washington, D.C., scientists, federal officials and newsmen discussed science and public policy. Here is a report on that session from Phillip E. Miller, MSU's science news editor. This also marks the first in a continuing series of science reports by Miner. According to President Nixon's science adviser, Edward E. David" the outlook for science in 1972 is bright compared with the last several years of doldrums. David said: "The overall research and development budget figures represent, I believe, a turn- around of the trends of the last three years. Overall, research and development spending is up by 7.6 per cent but more significantly, research funding will increase by 13.8 per cent." He reported that funds going to the universities and colleges, including both institutional support and basic research, will increase 14.7 per cent. . While room for .disagreement as to how the total funds will be allocated," said David, "the overall funding level is adequate to undertake many new initiatives." there ". is . One example the President's science Three new Fellows begin The second set of Presidential Fellows, who began their six - months' tenure this week, are: * Robert Brooks, director of medical technology and assistant professor of pathology. * Neil Cullen, doctoral candidate in higher education administration. * Mrs. Linda Terry, a junior in English education. Patterned after the White House Fellows program and funded by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, the fellowships are designed to provide each participant with first - hand experience in univerSity administration. The new fellows will be assigned to the president's office for the first two to four weeks of theirserviceandthen be assigned to an administrator for the duration of the six months. But as David said, science will continue to be where the action is.

"It was more of a family affair," recalls Twichell, "if you wanted something ftxed, you didn't have to ftll out a work order." Education was also more of a family affltir; he says. " I used to know most of the chemistry students by name." Twichell began working as the stockroom man on the second floor of Kedzie Hall in March of 1946. Now he is in charge of all stockrooms and equipment in the chemistry department and is called the "curator." In 25 years Twichell has watched the University grow from an institution with 11,000 students to its present 40,000. He is one of 30 employes cited at the Retirement and Service Award Dinner. As stockroom man, Twichell has mixed chemicals and set up equipment students. The of for thousands chemistry instruments have grown in both quantity and complexity. "We-buy more in one year now than we did in 15 years when I started," he says. Some things haven't changed, he notes. The University and the legislature still disagree over money, he says. "But before it was four, five, or six thousand dollars - now it's millions." Twichell finds the students basically the same now as they were in 1946. "They were a little older then, and of course, they didn't have the long hair," he says, "but I don't think they were much different than students today." It is changed. the University which has "You can't get on a personal basis with them," says Twichell, "when someone out to equipment, you never remember their names .. . there are so many of them. comes check - ROBERT CAL VERLY HARLEY TWICHELL • Retirees honored at annual service dinner Forty - seven retirees, including three with more than 40 years of service each, were honored at the ninth annual R-etirement and Service Award Dinner last week.

Phase I of the plan, implemented this month, calls for an intensive effort to inform faculty, staff and students about the prepaid health care concept. the All Advisory responsibility for this phase - has been accepted by University Health Center Advisory Board. The board, chaired by graduate student Louie Bender, was established by President Wharton last year to give various elements of the university a voice in the policies of the University (Olin) Health Center. Members of the board include Olaf the faculty ; representing Mickelsen, Robert J. L'Huillier, administrative - professional employes; Harry Scoonover, classifted hourly employes; and Mrs. Katherine Murphy, clerical - technical employes. Other members are representatives of graduate, married, foreign, minority group, off - campus and residence hall students. The fust phase will conclude in June campus survey the of a with community. If the survey's response is favorable and if details are resolved, the second phase will begin July 1, pending trustees' authorization. It will include setting of tentative fees and, in January of 1972, selection of 2,000 families to make up a pilot model of the plan. The fourth phase, when the pilot model would begin, is set for July, 1972. This phase and the fIfth would also include development of facilities. for call plans Current actual implementation of a campus - wide health care plan by July of 1973, although each phase is dependent upon the preceding phase.

P~!/6;MStJit~·t!~- BWIetiD: A~ii1i: 1971 ·- The standing committees Tenure committee studies notice policy The University Faculty' Tenure Committee to hear a is expected subcommittee report today dealing with the question of whether reasons should be given tenured faculty members who are not rehired. to non - chairman committee The question is one that the Board of Trustees asked the tenure committee to discuss, upon the recommendation of University Attorney Leland W. Carr Jr. But it is also a question the tenure committee has been discussing for a number of years, according to Gabel H. and Connor, professor of large animal surgery and medicine. Of current use deliberations "discussion papers," one presented by former tenure committee chairman Bradley Greenberg, professor of communication, and one written by former tenure committee chairman Charles C. Cumberland, late professor of history. during are associate two the The Cumberland paper was a result of discussions on the status and rights of non - tenured faculty which resulted in the statement now found in the facuity handbook. It was approved by the Academic Council and Acadeinic Senate in May, 1969, and by the Board of Trustees in April, 1970. * * * THE TENURE Committee, when Cumberland was chairman, decided against a "bill of particulars" for non - reappointed faculty members because: tenured faculty would the "non - suffer;" reasons might be generally stated in terms of departmental plans, or shortcomings of the non - tenured faculty might be exaggerated and departmental strengths autonomy might be adversely affected by public discussions over substantive issues. ommitted; the "entire tenure system The Cumberland document stated that is predicated on the assumption that the non - tenured status gives the University even the absolute the opportunity - responsibility - for experimenting with personnel. for eliminating from Ule faculty those who in the judgment of their colleagues do not offer the total contribution;ought. to prove "The system puts the burden on the faculty member the department that he will be an asset; the requirement for a bill of particulars. the would department to prove that the faculty member would be a liability." burden -on put the to The Greenberg discussion paper states that non - reappointment is generally assumed to be the result of inadequate performance by a faculty member when that may not actually be the case; instead, change departments may curricular thrusts, for example. The Greenberg paper also states that '1ust as a faculty member is obligated to detail to a student the reasons for a grade, and to justify that if necessary, so I would wish that a faculty member be obligated to specify to his colleague the reasons for him." the evaluation regarwng The possibility of repercussions in giving reasons for non - retention should be examined, the Greenberg paper states, but "our responsibility to deal with Our colleagues in as professional manner as we can remains." Greenberg did not specify in the discussion paper whether the reasons given should be oral or written. for the basis * * * _ THESE TWO PAPERS, however, are continued merely discussion within the tenure committee. If the subcommittee's proposals are approved by the parent committee today, they will proceed through the channels of the Academic Council and Senate for presentation to the trustees. Connor expects the issue to be "highly controversial. " "It's like an abortion law," Connor said, "no one wants to face it." charge * * * ALSO AS PART of the committee's bylaw tenure (to regulations and advise the provost and Academic Council on appropriate changes) the committee plans to study the question of non - tenured faculty members with joint appointments. review A second discussion paper from Greenberg raised such questions, as: How does each department share in the decision to reappoint or to grant or not to grant tenure? What is the status of a faculty member if one department says to reappoint and the other does not? reappoint or not to A second part of the bylaw charge which states that the faculty tenure judicial and committee shall be a tenure investigatory agency actions is frequently used. for all Connor called the conunittee a "grievance committee." Cases will be heard if a faculty member believes his department or college bylaws have been abrogated in a decision not to reappoirlt or to promote him; if the bylaws aTe not in compliance with the tenure rules of the University; or if he has attempted to seek redress at the department or college level and is not satisfied. Because of the right of appeal for cases in which a department's or college's bylaws are not in compliance with the tenure rules of the UniverSity, the tenure committee has been urging the various University departments to update their bylaws to incorporate the procedures for valuation of non - tenured faculty. . These procedures were approved by _ the trustees last April, but only three departments (Humanities, American Thought and Language and Social Science) have incorporated all five criteria needed, according to a tenure subcommittee report. * * * THOSE FIVE CRITERIA are: * Do the bylaws the departmental committee dealing with tenure decisions? specify they contain criteria for * Do judgment? CONFERENCES April 3 Michigan Artrain Workshop April 4-9 Training Media Workshop April 5-7 Fire Blight Workshop April 5-8 Highlights in Food Science April 7 Conference on Needs & Resources in Early Childhood Education and Child Care All conferences are held at Kellogg Center unless otherwise noted. Students and faculty members are welcome to attend these continuing education programs. Those who are interested should make arrangements in advance with the Office of University Conferences, 54590. * Do they specify procedures to be used? * Do they provide for annual review of non - tenured faculty? * Do they provide· means of appeal before a final decision? Twenty - five departments have none of the above provisions within their bylaws, or did not report to the tenure subcommittee; 28 departments have one provision; 10 have two; nine have three; six have four. In other words, nearly 90 percent of the departments have not written into their bylaws even half the required procedures for handling non - tenured faculty decisions. to deal with Fifty - seven departments do specify a committee tenure decisions. Only seven list criteria by which a candidate is to be judged. Eleven specify procedures to be used. Nineteen provide for annual review of non - tenured faculty. And 18 provide a means of appeal before final decision. -BEVERLY TWITCHELL The Student Housing Policy Printed for your reference is the University housing policy approved by the Board of Trustees irl March. According to Dean of Students Eldon Nonnamakeritis "amuch better policy than what we had before," because it is more clearly stated and more easily enforced. The Off - Campus Housing Office believes the new policy is more understandable than the old policy and will lead to less misinformation. For the first time, housing will be a condition of enrollment and a student living illegally off campus may be suspended from school. The Off - Campus Housing Office at 101 Student Services may be contacted for copies of the policy or for more information. Effective Fall Term, 1971 A. Housing Requirement: The University in its residence halls seeks to provide an educational environment which is maximally conducive to the leaming process of students. A wide ~y of measures .are involved IlIJlging from strict enforcement of quiet hours to the establishment of counseling. advising and course components within many residence halls. The requirements for on-cam~us residence are thus a part of the University's efforts to insure an optimum learnmg environment. This housing requirement is a condition of enrollment which must be met throughout the time specif"Jed. Students will be asked to produce evidence of compliance with this requirement.

Failure to maintain the required residency will result-in tennination of enrollment by the Dean of Students. Enforcement of the housing regulations is the responsibility of the Dean of Students.

Specific criteria are available from the Of[ - Campus Housing OfiJce. The burden of proof rests with the student; the responsibility of decision rests with the committee_ The committee shall take into account any professional recommendations of the University off1ce qualified to judge the category of exception.
