Recommendations on the regulation of students at Michigan State will be submitted jointly by the University Student Affairs Committee and ASMSU. Their report is based on a study of policies and year-long procedures involving student disturbances on campus. A set of "General Student Regulations" that would be internally adjudicated and a complete review of MSU Ordinances are to be proposed.

MSU Faculty News, Nov. 4,1969 Robert Wei!: Reclaiming human resources By GAIL MORRIS Assistant News Bureau Editor About 30 years ago, someone put a drawing pencil in a young boy's hand and the unknowingly frontiers of equal opportunity. advanced Like many other city kids, the boy spent a lot of time in the steets. As a student, he led a bohemian existence. A young man by 1957, he had given up drawing and painting for sculpture. And by 1960 he was "hooked" on teaching as a career. Today, assistant professor of art Robert L. Weil, age 37. is pioneering a program designed to give outstanding young artists with academic deficiencies ·an opportunity in higher education. A 1958 graduate of Wayne State University, he taught in the Detroit Public Schools, then with a John Hay fellowship, Whitney Foundation returned to Wayne and the world of sculpture to pursue a master's degree. He added the Albert Kahn Prize for architectural SCUlpture to his laurels and came to MSU in 1962 as an instructor of direct metal sculpture. Art is now more than just "his thing." Weft's recent teaching experiences in Detroit inner city schools pointed to the possibility of rescuing some young people. "Art," he believes, "can reclaim human resources. From being able to that they are create students learn pretty good people, that they have some power. They also learn through creating that they have some non-destructive options in this world."

Continued from page 1 The grant also aids other programs in the department: experimental nuclear physics, nuclear theory research efforts, and solid state and molecular structure' research programs. "New positions have been created in the department and are being filled by very bright, young physicists attracted from government and other academic institutions," Harrison reported. IN CHEMISTRY The NSF funds are being used in a veriety of ways in chemistry: to acquire new equipment; partially renovate existing space in the chemistry building; create a number of new research associate positions to assist in graduate research and training programs; increase support and library personnel; and extablish several new faculty positons which have been fIlled by extremely Well:.qualified professors. the most significant One of developments in chemistry, Harrison noted, is that the department has been abl~ to mount an intensjve recruiting campaign that is atracting outstanding graduate students. Council :action not unexpected The Academic Council's decision to postpone discussion of the Report on Student Participation in Academic Governmen t wasn't completely unexpected, according to Gerald J. Massey. Massey, professor of philosophy now on sabbatical leave at the University of Pittsburgh, chaired ad hoc committee which drafted the report last spring. the After several lengthy sessions in wihich action was taken on only the preamble and three of the report's 15 the Council voted recommendations, last Tuesday to refer the question of student participation back to committee. A new report-by a committee to be named by Acting President Adams-is . due within two' months. The three recommendations earlier passed now become guidelines the new committee's work. for Massey, contacted in Pittsburgh by the Faculty News, said he was "not altogether surprised" by the Council's action. last week like He predicted that "something very much the original report may ultimately be adopted by the Council." Massey pointed out that the report's recommendations are neither "radical nor unusual" They are similar to measures already adopted or under consideration on other campuses, he added. The motion to place the matter back into committee for further consultation was offered by Gina Schack, an undergraduate student representative.

To him, term has little to do with poverty. to anyone from the "Disadvantaged means being out of touch with your full creative potential," he explains. "I see these so-called 'disadvantaged' students as advantaged. Like most people, they have a lot of skills that are related to art. Take the way they dress, or talk or dance- that's their way of expressing individuality. But these skills, which are all related to the body, are related to art.

"I start them where they are letting a lltudent see and realize his vision as quickly as possible, in the easiest medium.

Weil's concern people realize their potential is matched by an intense desire to improve his own environment by getting the community in the quality of its surroudings. "It's time for East Lansing to get esthetically involved," he contends. "Right now it's just a great big bedroom and It's wide open for community development. that's all. "The annual sidewalk art show is a step in the right direction, but the town should be like that all the time in terms of novelty, variety and involvement." Weil would see more like environmental sculpture on campus. It might solve the problem of property defacement and vandalism, he says. to "People tend to grow to like things involved with," he the new movable they can get explains, citing playground equipment. Given free rein to redesign the whole campus Weil says he would first conduct an international SCUlpture contest here. "I'd like to see some sculpture at MSU other than that done by the WPA.

Those years have reinforced an intuitive ability to see the world through faculty eyes, an ability he calls on every time he considers a problem, makes a decision , ponders the future. His challenge, as he explains it, is to retain this sensitivity to the faculty viewpoint and at the same time remind himself that what's best for a university professor may not always be best for society. Says Cantlon: "I think the practicing teacher or researcher is nearer where the ac t ion therefore has up-to-dateness about the way he faces decisions. is and "But having said that, ' 1 would concede that the bench scientist, the the classroom crea tive scholar, teacher -necessarily cut off from the tough kinds of political many considerations- need their decision-making supplemented by people who are aware of political forces and who are looking at all departments simul taneously ." to have He adds: "It would be easy to make a series of decisions that would be excellent from the professor's viewpoint but which wouldn't have any long-term Viability taxpayers are as concerned." far as * * * Cantlon, a faculty member since 1948, took over as provost on Sept. 1.

"In this job," he says, "you don't have the same command of your time that a professor does. You're an activator for other people's ideas, and you're trying to get support for those ideas. It's a very different role with a different set of satisfactions." * * * The new provost supports the idea that 'a certain amount of isolation is essential for some university scholars, provided that isolation is voluntary.

"The provost also tries to see areas appropriate for curriculum change and respond to the ideas that emerge from departments-things that bright young assistant professors want to change things, for example. to do * * * "You have to mediate between the desires of a department that wants to grow and the always limited pool of funds and space." * * * Concern for society's problems has been a tradition at Michigan State, says Cantlon. "It's the guts of this place." In the University's future he foresees increased emphasis on service, plus a shift in service priorities. Areas for more attention will include urban problems, the environment, the behavioral sciences. It is not yet clear when this shift will occur, because , Cantlon says, "problem-solving machines very often continue solving problems that no longer have the same priority.

"If we were to look for tomorrow'S big wave , we'd probably find it clanking around in some congested office here, and we're probably underfunding it by at least 100 percent," observes Cantlon. "But it would be a mistake ," he warns, "to assume that problein-solving is restricted to the social and natural sciences or to the professional schools.

Part III: Why a law school belongs at MSU Part III of the proposal for a College of Law at Michigan State explores the advantages oflocating a college here and the student interest in a law school. Subsequent parts of the report will be printed in future issues of the Faculty News. D. The Desirability of Locating a New Law CoUeg~ at Michigan State. Michigan State believes that a new college of law should be located on its campus for the following reasons: its for recognized t . Thc outstanding law schools of the nation are part of major universities, almost without exception. MSU is a major institution widely innovative, service-oriented approach and for its programs of high quality . It has been elected to membership in the American Association of Universities; it enroUs a student body which ranks among the largest in the nation ; it has a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and an Honors College which has attracted and served highly capable students, many of whom in the past have gone on to the study oflaw; and it views a College of Law as an extension of its basic commitment to service of the people of Michigan. 2. Colleges of law benefit from strong supporting departments. Michigan State University has outstanding faculty members and strong departments in a large number of areas which a College of Law would look to for support and contribution , as for example , Departments of Accounting, Communication, Computer Science, Economics, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and many others. 3. A College of Law lends strength to a wide range of programs found at a university. It is expected that a College of Law would stimulate and add strength to such existing programs as business administration, police administration, education, medicine, agriculture, the social sciences, and the humanities. A College of Law would, in other words, contribute the further development of excellence in a large number of programs, just as the College of Human Medicine has already strengthened related departments. social work to 4. Colleges of law benefit from local resources and opportunities for observation and experiential learning. The metropolitan Lansing area has many fine legal resources now available. Located in the immediate area is the State Law Library , containing one of the most complete sources of legal reference in the state, thc State Supreme Court, a Court of Claims, a Circuit Court, a Probate Court, as well as Municipal Courts and a District Court. The U.S. District Court now sits in Lansing using other available court facilities and efforts are underway to have it located here permanently. In addition, Lansing is the headquarters for the State Bar Association and for such state agencies as the Workmen's Compensation Department, the Attorney General's office, the the Liq uor Control Commission , Corporation and Securities Commission, the State Insurance Commission, to name only a few. Lansing has the capability of becoming one of the nation's legal centers. 5. Michigan has no College of Law outside the Greater Detroit Area. Michigan now has four law schools. Two are attached to state universities in Detroit and Ann Arbor ; one is attached to a private university in Detroit, and one is an independent school in Detroit. factors of geography and distance The involved in attracting and serving students are borne out by the relatively heavy attendance at law schools by residents of their environs. The distribution of population in the state suggests that any new law school should be located outside the Greater Detroit Area where it could serve a relatively large segment of the population. The popUlation of the seven counties surrounding Lansing has now risen to a million or more, and the population of the other 23 counties in southern Lower Michigan, outside the Greater Detroit Area, has risen to an additional two million or more. These more than 3 million persons should be served by a College of Law . E. Student Interest in a CoUege of the academic year Law During 1967-68 , the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) was administered to 393 persons on tlus campus. Most of these were MSU students. Sixty percent of these scored at or above the national median. from These data suggest that a well-qualified entering class could be recruited the undergraduate student body of the University alone. Furthermore, the approval of a College of Law for the University would no in law the doubt education and indeed aUract undergraduates to existing pr~~s, as the College of Human Medicine has done for related programs in recent years. increase interest The Educational Testing Service (Princeton, N.J.) which administers the LSAT reports that 3,225 permanent Michigan residents took the test at the various centers around the country in 1966-68. It also reports that in 1960-69 large numbers of students from Michigan and elsewhere had their LSAT scores sent to Michigan institutions: The University of Michigan, 5,687; Wayne State University, 3,291; Detroit College of the University of Law, 2,323; and Detroit, 940. A considerable number of these presumably did not qualify for admission , but from those who did and from those from Michigan , considerable selection had surely to be made and qualified students rejected.
