Netherlands dance troupe to perform The Netherlands Dance Theater, a company ot 50, will present contemporary dance programs Monday and Tuesday (April 19 and 20) in the Auditorium. Monday's program, a Series "A" attraction in the Lecture-Concert Series will feature "Symphony in Three Movements," using the music of the late' Igor Stravinsky; "Situation;" "Yariation on a Landscape," and "Mter Eden." Tuesday's program, a Series "B" attraction, will include "Five Sketches" to the music of Paul Hindemith; "Imaginary Film" with music by Arnold Schoenberg," and "Grosse Fugue." All of the ballets in the company's repertOire have been created by con!emporary choreographers. The company regards the choreographer "as the focal point of its act~i~ies . and planning" and makes every effort to provide him "with the right artIstIc clnnate, collaborators and creative dancers for his work." Founded in 1959, the dance company functioned for two years without any private or government backing, but was soon rewarded by official recognition in the form of yearly subsidies from the Dutch government and the city of The Hague. The subsidy has enabled the company to increase the number of dancers from 16 to 27 and to acquire a large building in The Hague as its headquarters. Tickets are available at the Union Ticket Office.

SERVING MSU'S total maintenance needs is difficult in "normal" economic years; at a time when budgets are tight, it becomes next to impossible, point out those who direct the campus maintenance job. "We really have few rul!uraI landscape attractions on the campus," says Milton Baron, director of campus park and planning. "Ahnost all of our campus beauty is man - made, and if we let up on the maintenance, it's very hard to catch up." Even though the budget for grounds maintenance went up this year, the increase (to about $880,000) was barely adequate to meet rising salaries and labor costs. The total figure includes the academic student aplUtments and campus, athletic ~3s and the golf dormitories, course. The last three areas involved self - liquidating funding; as a result, all of grounds maintenance is facing budget problems. "WE'RE IN trouble," says Burt Ferris, superintendent of grounds maintenance. He points out that the funds shortage is hitting when his department needs to launch its annual push to "get the campus into shape in time for spring and for commencement." This includes general post - winter cleanup, fertilizing, reseeding, planting jobs that require a larger - than - - normal work force. The grounds department has about 60 full - time, permanent employes, a Crossroads open In response to faculty and student requests, the Crossroads Cafeteria will be open for coffee service, 7:45 to 9 p.m., each Monday through Thursday beginning this week,' according to Lyle A.

Ferris says the crew will be srmifer this year (which unfortunately means fewer jobs for students and other seasonal workers). Smaller budgets also mean less frequent mowing and tree -trimming in most areas, Baron says, and perhaps l~ street cleaning and sweeping. "Inflation and changes in the labor picture. tend to give us less productive time on campus," he says.

The East Lansing Drug Education Center, organized less than a year ago by MSU faculty and students and volunteers, has won a Freedoms Foundation award for 'fwork in community education." The center offers services in counseling, referral and drug education. Edward Lynn, assistant professor of psychiatry and president of the center, says it "is not in business to tell people to stop using drugs. We just try to provide legitimate information so kids can make mature decisions about what affects their lives." The Freedoms Foundation is a nonprofit organization designed to "award those people who speak up for the principles of America." THE 'GREEN' MEDWM. Television is entering its own phase of ''yellow journalism," says an assistant professor of journalism. Vtshwa Mishra says that TV is a "green" medium in the hands of "green" people, whose maturity leaves much to be desired. * * * He says that one sign of this immaturity is the networks' "inability to size up the intelligence of Americans. Their executives believe they should 'talk down' to people." He adds: "I don't think that TV has ever been serious about providing good documentaries. The networks give the American public more filmfare because it's less expensive. Television is becoming an escape medium. Even documentaries and newscasts are made to be entertaining." * * * COMMUNITY RESOURCES. A bank of knowledge about the agencies serving the Greater Lansing area is being gatltered and stored this tenn in a new course in the Department of Family Ecology. "The Community: Its Needs and Resources" explores how human needs are determined and fulfilled via community resources. According to the instructor, Pealr Aldrich, the course will build a pool of information about Lansing's social and service organizations - their work, their structure, purpose, staff, use ofvolunteers and number of people served. The data can then be used by students and researchers in the College of Human Ecology and the University at large. I CHINA COURSE The Chinese revolution is examined in a new course being taught by 10 cooperating faculty members and visiting scholars. The course, "Continuing Revolution in China: Problems and Approaches" is offered through the Asian Studies Center and administered by the history department in cooperation with political science, anthropology and geography. Coordinators are Walter Gourlay, assistant professor of history and Paul Hiniker, assistant professor of political science. * * * . ECONOMY UP. A much brighter Michigan economy is predicted by Leonard D. Bronder, chief of the research division at the Michigan State Department of Commerce. Writing in MSU's Economic Record, he notes that the state has an historical pattern of strong business growth every three years, and the current year, despite a national slowdown should usher in another period of growth for the state. Retail sales in Michigan are expected to rise by $1.76 billion or 10.1 percent. Nationally, consumer spending will be up approximately 4 percent. * * * THE LACK OF WATER Georg Borgstrom, professor of geography and food scientist, contends that lack of water will be the major limitation in trying to feed an expanding population. And there is very little man can do, Borgstrom adds, to stretch the water supply to meet the increasing demands. "Those of us living in climates with ample water supplies tend to overlook the importance of this resource," he says. ''We seldom realize that only 3 percent of the world's water is fresh, and that 97 percent of that fresh water is locked up in the polar ice caps." Borgstrom believes that since groundwater supplies all over the world have been taxed almost to their limits, man will have to rely on the hydrological cycle and get along on a fairly constant water supply. He is teaching a new course this tenn, "The Geography of Water." * * * :ON OTHER CAMPUSES. The University of Pennsylvania has disposed of 33,421 shares (almost all) of its General Motors stock.

For example, the number of man hours required to maintain every 1,000 square feet of floor space has decreased by 37 per cent in 20 years. MAINTENANCE IN THE dormitories residence halls the is handled by division. Although the halls have had to make cutbacks, their financial problems are the result of few occupancies. ''The 1,500 - student reduction in freshmen last year caught us," says Lyie Thorburn, manager of dormitories and food services. That reduction amounts to about $1.5 million in revenue lost, he adds. James Andrews, assistant manager for development and construction, says that some cutbacks have been made in repair work, and reduced amount is being spent in the cafeterias. Andrews adds that housekeeping service is normal in the halls and he says that students have helped to keep the maintenance job easier. In the halls with predominately upperclass students, he says, occupants have become quite conscientious about their surroundings. The Imancialloss from vandalism has increased, particularly among vending machines, according to Andrews, but fewer students engage in the kind of "horseplay" prevelant a few years ago. - GENE RIETFORS Military spending: growing concern among scientists By PHILLIP E. MILLER Science Editor, News. Bureau Things that people of the world are willing to tolerate in the name of defense stagger the imagination. the U.S.S.R. and The world's yearly bill for military expense is about $180 billion. For every the U.S.A. dollar spend on the military, they spend only 4 cents on underdeveloped areas of the world. More of the world's money is spent on the military than on education. As one than 10 tons is more result, equivalent of TNT in nuclear weapons for every human on earth - man, woman and child. there "In the face of all this absurdity, why can't we do better?" asked W.K.H. Panofsky in a recent talk in Washington to science writers. Panofsky is director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. In "Have the leaders of the \\Odd's powers lost sight of the enormity of the potential destruction? the shrill debate between the right and the left, the radicals and conservatives, in this country and abroad, the parties are trying to identify the 'villian' responsible for this madness - a madness which Herbert York, the former director of Defense Research and Engineering in the Pentagon, has aptly called 'the race to oblivion.' the "The American right puts the blame 'Communist aggressiveness.'

Panofsky said that contrary to some is technology military advisers, adjustable. IT technology "TO PUT in blunt terms: The military technicians maintain that is evolution of military inexorable, and that we must adjust our lives and political and strategic decisions to live with that evolution. I believe that such an attitude is dangerous to man's very existence, and that it is also insupportable on its own merit. "Our knowledge of science will indeed increase continuously - the facts of nature are there to be explored, and they will not, and should not, remain hidden. But the process of going from science to military technology involves a protracted series of planned steps, including development, test, production and deployment.

Page 4, MSU News - Bulletin, April 1 S, 1971 Geographical disorientation for ecology By BEVERLY TWITCHELL Associate Editor, News - Bulletin A six - mile walk through urban East Lansing, and a 16 - mile bike hike through MSU's rural East Lansing - a disorientation for the 55 to 60 students enrolled in Geography 415 (field research) and Justin Morrill College 254 (geography). "'The very frrst thing we have to do is lose you," Ronald J. Horvath, assistant professor of geography, told the students on the frrst day. of class. "Until we disorient you, you aren't going to be able to do what this class is all about - fmd yourself again, reorient yourself." His course is cultural geography, the study of man and his relationship to his environment, with the emphasis on ecology. And with a guiding philosophy that East Lansing is a "microcosm of the world." Edward J. VanderVelde, instructor for the lMC students, says it's rare for geographers to relate their field to their own environment - that is, studying the geography of East Lansing as opposed to India or Ethiopia, for example, which are VanderVelde's and Horvath's special areas. In this class, Horvath told the students, you must formulate a problem, then you will learn how to collect data. "Until you can formulate the problem, we have nothing to teach you." Some of the problems studied in past sections of the course: Pollution of the Red Cedar River; variation of rents in East Lansing; organic farming; the effect of the automobile on East Lansing; the circulation of paper through MSU. The bible for the class is an article by Michael Rossman entitled, "On Learning and Social Change." Rossman speaks of autonomous learning as opposed to the "Authority Complex," and oflearning as behaviorial change. It is a philosophy to which Horvath and VanderVelde and their three teaching assistants subscribe. Education is changing people, Horvath says, getting them to the point where they manipulate reality, not discover it. They have to confront their own institutions, he says, and they do it by studying whatever they want. But frrst they must be disoriented . ... A walk through East Lansing The 55 or 60 people make theirfrrst stop on a Grand River Avenue meridian. "This is a really interesting piece of territory," Horvath says. "It's a dangerous divide. It separates two different kinds of decision - making entities .... 'Who uses this piece of territory? The people who are passing through, out to the suburbs. It's automobile territory, machine space. Reclassify what it means to you." Words are lost in the noise of the traffic. "If you can't hear what I'm saying," Horvath says, "you're getting tlle message." Move on to a parking lot - more machine space. Eighty percent of downtown Detroit is laid out for auto use; 50 to 60 percent of East Lansing is for auto use, Horvath says. "All the problems are here. You don't have to go to downtown New York; all the problems are here, on a different scale. "East Lansing is a microcosm of America; the symptoms and sources of the survival crisis are here. " Walk into an alley. This, too, is automobile territory, the students are told, and "the critical thing about machine space," Horvath says, "is who gets to use it? This is one of the sources of alienation." Then walk on to the Bailey School. One of the characteristics of any inner city, Horvath says, is the lack of recreation area, the almost total absence of parks. VanderVelde says that in the area from Hagadorn to Abbott Roads and from Grand River Avenue to Burcham Drive, the only green space is the Bailey School playground '. He says a bond issue to build mOre parks had been approved a few years ago in the city, but all the parks were being built outside the "inner city," beyond Burcham and even beyond M - 78. He spoke of streets as barriers to children and said that ''where kids play is part of geography." As the group tours East ~slng's streets, rent is discussed. So are block busters, slumlords, the natives, the concept of the student as transient. Business executives move more often than students, Horvath says. The average American family moves every 3.S years. How do you view yourselfl He asks the group. When are you going to decide that this is home? And how are you going to treat that idea? A walk down Abbott Road, pointing out the increases in the amount of space devoted to asphalt (salt on the asphalt in winter pollutes the Red Cedar, VanderVelde tells the group). They point out a trend, a move away from the heterogeneity of the inner city East Umsing, to the homogeneity, the sameness of the area of White hills Estates. - A look at what is left of Burcham Woods, part of which was cut down to build tennis courts (more asphalt). Crossing M - 78, and winding along the streets of White hills 'Estates, to come to rest by what Horvath calls ''The Berlin Wall" of East Lansing, at ''Checkpoint Charlie." Here they talk about people who are "impoverished in their privilege," in their homogeneity, with no exposure to a different skin color or a different accent, or a different cUlture. . East Lansing's Great Wall divides two worlds, Horvath says, blocking the view of Whitehills from Tower Gardens, just across Lake Lansing Road. Then back toward inner city East Lansing and the campus, stopping to check out what is called the "institutional buffer zone,"or "the Poland of East Lansing." !tis an area of churches, schools, a park, the library, which separate inner East Lansing from the more affluent city fringes. A stop at VanderVelde's backyard, to see what can be done with ground up garbage and leaves (a compost pile), representing, VanderVelde says, "what we can do individually. " The purpose of this tour, according to Horvath: To view anti - ecological concepts and behavior in urban landscape. A bike hike through MSU land, Two days later the group takes to wheels, to view woods and fields and the poultry barns. stumps, leaves) to the other (sodded riverbanks, apartment buildings). Servicing several spe-cies on the former side, teaching assistant Tom Edison points out, and only one or two on the latter. Looking at the outfalls from whch pure garbage sometimes flows from the city to the river. Talking about how the death of the river could actually be mapped, geographically. And abQut death, as ecologists defme it: Homogeneity, the lack of diversity. To the fields and a look at the soil, which is also being killed, they say, by the use of chemical fertilizers. A contrast to the VanderVelde garden which was nch with worms (indicating nutrients) - here there are none. But this is the agriculture being taught here, VanderVelde says; this, too, is a microcosm. To the woods. The students are told: "You have 10 minutes, go and become part of the woods." So they wander, looking at varieti~s of fungus, trees, digging beneath • leaves to see the soil. No one seems to want to leave the woods, and that, VanderVelde says, is part of the message, too. And then a long bike ride to the poultry research farms, where the students may view through a glass door how chickens are raised in layered cages. One is reminded oftenements: Or dorms, Horvath says. The chickens are crowded wing - to - wing in an area the students can't enter because the conditions are ideal for the spread of disease. Ron Horvath and students in a parking lot: " ... machine space. Reclassify what - Photo by Bob Brown it means to you." ''Watch the kids," Edison says to Horvath, "it's like they're walking into a funeral parlor." Later, VanderVelde distributes a picture of a prison, leaving it to the students to note the sin)ilarity. "It's an urban environment," Horvath says, "that man is creating for animals. Think about the total artificiality these chickens are raised with - a shot for color, a shot for tenderness, and who knows what all - and then think about the way we treat ourselves. That's part of the message." A survival atlas Bringing it all together, then, is up to the students - in whatever projects they decide they'd like to pursue in small groups. Part of the idea is to make it an ongoing commitment - a behavioral change. The biggest success for the teaching group so far has been the organic farming group from fall term. Starting as eight people in this geography - JMC class, they taught a Free University Class winter term and expanded their number to 65. They formed an organization called AHMOAB (Albert Howard Memorial Organic Agriculture Brigade), and hope to obtain a piece of unwanted University land to, as VanderVelde said, "bring it back (to life)." And it's all to be put into a book, Horvath says, called a S~val Atlas. But the success of last fall's course may also be measured to some degree in the evaluations submitted by students that term: - The instructors as "remarkably enthusiastic." - A fruitful and enjoyable expetience." - "There just wasn't enough time in the quarter." - "A good experience for learning because every group did someting a little different and everyone could learn their own way." - ''The introductory outings rooted the class in the reality of our environment" - "I became more conscious of myself as a part of the system of nature and as a polluter. I see things in a different perspective - in terms of the geography of life - in seeing cycles rather than separate ends" - "I no longer can work effectively in the usual authoritarian lecture - patterned learning environment" . - "If we can understand and change our environment for the betterment of the whole ecology on a small local scale, then we can do it on a large scale" - "All ideas were entertained, all discussed, and all evaluated" And a little free style prose: - ''Walk around these city streets, take to your bicycle and see what surrounds them. Store the flashing images your minds view ... what was beautiful? good? what was ugly or unjust? what do you feel? anything? can you see problems? on what levels? are they biological- have the birds left us - are the trees dying?

April 15.1971 - . COGS establishes student loan fund M S U graduate students who fmd themselves in a fmancial strain after spring vacation may now seek assistance from a newly established fund, thanks to the Council of Graduate Students (COGS). COGS has successfully implemented a program which allocates 30 percent of each term's revenue for short - term loans to be administered through the Financial Aids Office. Graduate students may borrow up to $100 payable iJ? 60 days with no interest. Kim Wilson, vice president of internal affairs for COGS and initiator of the proposal, says the objective of the loan program is to make funds easily accessible to graduate students for meeting fmancial emergencies without them having to show an "overwhelming proof of need." To date, no graduate students have taken advantage of the fund. "We hope that we have made adequate provisions," said Wilson, "but if the loan fund is not exhausted, the ltDney will go for other pressing COGS needs." IN ADDITION to short - term loans, COGS began a life insurance program which until last quarter was the second of its kind in the country. COGS feels the program is beneficial to graduate students because underwriters do not recognize graduate students as a separate entity. "We hope to establish a medical program, something that can beat Blue Cross and Blue Shield - but that's speculative for right now," Wilson said. COGS has also allocated $600 per term for the support of speakers, and other programs especially geared to graduate students. Regarding the newly adopted constitution, Wilson explained that "It (the constitution) has been a real hassle. Some of the administrative personnel were complaining over technicalities and clouding the pertinent issues. The legitimacy of the organization (COGS) was questioned, and because there is no judiciary body to handle the problems of grad students, we have had to reaftmn our position as a duly elected body to represent them." IN A LETTER (April 1) to C.W. Minkel, associate dean of the graduate schools, Wilson noted that the constitution was approved by a 6 to 1 margin. "We interpret this vote," the letter continued, "as graduate students' recognition of the Council of Graduate Students as their governing organization." He said that this vote, plus approval from the Board of T~tees, "should hopefully be the tmal step in the question of (COGS) legitimacy at Michigan State University." "Now that we've crosSed that hurdle," says Wilson, "COGS can start treating some of the other problems facing, graduate students on this campus." William Greene, president of COGS, expressed concern' for implementing workable solutions to the problems of graduate students by "pressing for basic structural changes within the University to accommodate these students." "One of the major drawbacks with which we are faced," he said, "is the network of University policy" which requires that many programs for graduate students are not distinguished from undergraduate programs. "If we can expand the graduate programs and graduate governing bodies, then we can expand significant participation by the graduate students," Greene said. The graduate rights and responsibilities document was presented to the Board of Trustees. "If the document is passed," says Greene, "It will establish the graduate students as a viable entity within the MSU community." - REGINA SHERARD Jay Roberts Setting the Auditorium stage _ Photo by Dick Wesley Sets to move, lights to set up, sound system to operate - all get the close attention of Jay Roberts, stage manager for MSU's Auditorium and Fairchild Theatre. Roberts, who has been stage manager since 1967, the operation of the two auditoriums which share a common stage. is responsible for The Auditorium is almost in constant use for student and faculty program, Great Issues lectures, conferences such as Farmer's Week, and more than 60 Lecture - Concert Series events. The number of programs total more than 100 annually. Each day, he checks a three - foot wide rolling calendar listing events for both Fairchild and the Auditorium. "U's an interesting Job - you meet a lot of well- known people." Prominent national figures such as Mrs Cor etta Scott King, U.S. senators, noted performers including Walter Slezak, Ferrante and Teicher and Van Cliburn regularly appear on the MSU stage. ''Most people are fascinated when they come backstage. They are really glad when you take a few minutes to tell them about it," he observes. Just ask him and he'll show you how the light panel controls the stage lights and house lights for both the Fairchild and the Auditorium, or how' various combinations of lights can be connected to one dimmer. Although he admits there's a lot of excitement in the theater, he syas, "You get used to it." A less glamorous aspect is making certain all the bulbs in the ''border'' lights and spotlights are working. When not set up for a program, the stage must remain clean and uncluttered, ready for the next production. Working with Roberts regularly is Marshall Cleves, on call as house electrician. - , When a touring show is booked, which may require extra stage hands, he serves as time keeper for these men. "When the Stuttgart Ballet came in 1969, 37 extra stage hands were used," Robert recalled. Before his present job, Roberts worked at the auditorium stage on many occasions while he also was a projectionist at the Michigan Theater. - FRED BRUFWDT JMC: How to be a 'trying' college "Changing curriculum anywhere is like trying to change a graveyard," says the dean of Justin Morrill College. "People get very defensive." D. Gordon Rohman has headed MSU's first residential college since its beginning in 1965, and he is currently very involved with change, in the birth pangs of what is called "JMC 11." "At its inception," Rohman said, "Justin Morrill College reflected the best educational thinking of the fifties. It is time now that we try to implement the most significent.developments in education of the sixties, and we hope to do this in JMC II." ROHMAN HAS outlined nine themes in education that he feels are important in the creation of JMC II. *First, ''the ancient ideal that education should be the development of students as individuals and not merely the accumulation of knowlegde for vocational or profeSSional ends." *Second, that the college student "needs preparation for a world in which he must playa varity of roles," a world with "an awesome potential for either Utopia or disaster. " *Third, education for individual development to promote "an identity based on such qualities as flexibility, creativity, openness to experience, and responsibility," with intellect considered as only part of the total persoriality. *FOURTH, "THE creation of a total educational environment guided by a theory of total personality as well as social theory," in order to develop "a rich and varied impulse life as well as a -repertory of intellectual skills." *Fifth, new objectives, ' directed not toward the production of credits or test scores, but toward the developmmt of independent thinking, creativity, and social responsibility. *Sixth, "the standard model of undergraduate education has fostered uniformity in curriculum structure and depersonalization in relations b~tween faculty and students and between students and students." Rohman emphasized the need for small primary groups," and the need to "break down the classroom walls and combine books with direct experience." *Seventh, a move from the traditional "didactic model" of education (which is "authority centered" and "the student is treated as a kind of information storage and retrieval unit") to a "dialectic model," (in which "learning is a process of joint inquiry.") "CURRICULUM IS grounded in the concepts of numbers," said Rohman. "Everything is by count: So many credits for so many hours for so many weeks for so marty years, with a grade - point average not under such - and - such yields a degree. This labels as 'excellent' many students who turn out only to be the best gamesmen. Colleges are asked to redefme excellence, to tmd new ways of appraising it, and to invent new ways of keeping records of it." *Eighth, "a new understanding of the significance of student protest in the .>ixties, "with a feeling that "we, should move to use the adolescent's blunt and often honest perception as a source of social self - renewal and help him translate his idealism into reality." * Finally , Rohman seeks more "dynamic kind of analysis" of educational institutions, and turns to "systems thinking" as a strategy for analyzing organizations that "tries to take into account the complex and dynamic interplay of every part." THESE EDUATIONAL ideals are being implemented this term in a special student - faculty seminar to more clearly shape the concepts surrounding JMC II. The seminar itself is to be structured entirely by the participants who, Rohman hopes., "will step outside the stereotypes of an educational system and begin afres..lJ. with what a learning system should be." But Rohman does not see JMC II, no matter how well composed, as the fm o 1 answer. Rather he hopes for the establishment of an "opportunity structure," oc which remains open - ended, never solidified. "Our answers will at best be partial," said Rohman. "But the system that wiH survive is one that will examine itself and change itself. Stability ;<; rigor mortis." "Justin Morrill College is a scouting party for the University," he said. "Mv favorite phrase for new students is to tell them that we're a 'trying' college - ani! - PAT GRAUER mean 'trying' in every sense of the word." Page 6, MSU News - Bulletin, April 1 S, 1971 . . The search • lS still on for three deans Two months after its first meeting, the Conege of Communication Arts committee the "search and selection" of a new dean has sUb.mitted the names of three candidates to Provost John Cantlon. for The three candidates are all from MSU, and search committee chairman Robert H. Davis, associate director of the Educational Development Program, said he expects named soon. the new dean to be The new dean will replace Jack Bain, who has resigned to return to teaching duties. Meanwhile, human ecology, whose search committee had submitted three names to the provost in December, is still without a dean. One candidate was here for an interview with the provost in President Wharton responds to Gov. Milliken's proposal this week, Gov. William Earlier on released his proposal Milliken educational in Michigan. reform Following is a statement by President Wharton in response to that proposal. "Gov. Milliken's proposal to establish a Michigan Commission on Higher Education is a necessary step in the development of sound state policies in this vital area. It is appropriate that the governor listed as the commission's first responsibility the identification of goals and objectives for higher education in is most this state. This objective laudable because fundamental decisions must treat higher education as a wise social investment and not deal just with . the specific organizational aspects of the system. the ''The critical nature of the funding face our state problems which universities and colleges, whatever the commission's findings, certainly lends this proposal. We at urgency Michigan State will cooperate in any way possible. to "Meanwhile, the work of the MSU Commission on Admissions and Student Body Composition, which is attacking a number of problem areas in higher education which the governor highlights, is nearing completion. We ~ould anticipate that the detailed work already done by our group will be a valuable contribution to the governor's proposed Commission on Higher Education." eMU faculty set to vote on 3-year contract Negotiating teams representing the Central Michigan University faculty and the CMU Board of Trustees last week agreed on a three -year contract. The contract, which goes into effect with the beginning of the 1971 - 72 academic year if ratified, calls for direct salary increases ranging from 6.5 percent, plus $66, for the next year to 6.6 percent, plus $200, for 1973-74. Fringe benefit provisions range from a 1.2 percent increase for 1971-72 to 2 percent for 1973-74. Fringe benefits affected by the proposed contract are hospitalization insurance, life insurance, disability income benefits and travel accident insurance. A ratification vote by the CMU faculty is scheduled for sometime next week. The contract must also be ratified by the CMU Board of Trustees. Other major provisions of the new agreemmi: include procedures establishing faculty participation at the departmental level in such areas as selection of new faculty, retention and termination of nontenured faculty, tenure, promotions and other matters. .C ompensa tion increases for each of the three Years are: - *For the 1971-72 academic year, the total direct salary increase will be 6.5 percent, plus $66, while fringe benefit increases will total 1.2 percent. *For the 1972-73 academic year, the total direct salary increase will be 6.54 percent, plus $100, in addition to 1.5 percent for fringe benefits and about .5 percent for special achievement awards. *For 1973-74, the total direct salary increase will be 6.6 percent, plus $200, wh ole fringe benefits will increase 2 percent and achievement awards will increase .5 percent. The major fringe benefit provision for next year will be an increase in the CMU's contribution to faculty hospitalization insurance from $13 a month to $32 a month. That figure will go to $49 a month in 1972-73 and to $i5 a month in 1973-74. Also to be implemented in 1972-73 are improved disability income benefits for faculty members and an increase in the University travel accident policy from $25,000 to $50,000. In 1973-74, in addition to the term life hospitalization provision, insurance available to faculty members will be increased to a minimum of $15,000 with the CMU paying the entire cost of the first $5,000 and the balance being paid on a shared basis by CMU and each faculty member. Current policy provides for term life insurance equal to the faculty member's annual salary with the entire premium being paid on a shared basis.
