Lect~lle-Concert, page 4 Council endorses tenure rule change; Senate to consider action . on May 19 ' The Academic Senate will meet May 19 to consider the proposed change in tenure rules that would allow giving written reasons for nonrenewal of nontenured facuIty members. The University Faculty Tenure Committee proposal was unanimously endorsed by the Academic Council at its meeting Tuesday. Little discussion took place on the Natural scie.nce approves new appeal proce-dure The faculty of the Department of Natural Science provisionally approved Monday a procedure by which nonreappointed faculty members may appeal this fall to an ad hoc committee of tenured department faculty for University to honor retirees The year was 1927: The name was Michigan State College of Agriculture ~d Applied Science .: . the president was Kenyon L. Butterfield ... enrollment was below 3,000 ... the Ph.D. program was in its infancy. And in 1927 Elwood P. Lawrence joined the faculty. This year, after 44 years at MSU, Lawrence is retiring as a professor of English. He and 40 other faculty who have retired in the past year will be honored Friday (May 7) at a luncheon in Kellogg Center. A list of the retirees, whose collective service to the University totals more than 1,100 years, is on page 5. reconsideration of their nonreappointment. The procedures would allow the four facuIty members whose appointment would have terminated this August to appeal to the committee, if they are still here in September. But only two of the four will still be here. Eileen Van Tassell, assistant professor of natural SCience, has requested a one-year extension of her appointment under a provision approved by the Board of Trustees last month. One of the four, an instructor in natural science, had earlier been granted a one-year extension by the department. A . third has said he will leave in August, and Bertram G. Murray has accepted a position with Rutgers University .. *** THERE HAS BEEN some question about the range of the Trustee action regarding the extension for nonreappointed faculty members. The original motion from Trustee Clair .white expressed concern about "those few faculty members whose contracts were not renewed in December 1971, and who requested but were denied reasons why they were not reappointed." (Continued on page 6) issue, except fora suggestion, frQm president emeritus Walter P. Adams; a member of the executive council of the national AAUP, that appeal procedures, as outlined in national AAUP law be included in the provision. , ' The AAUP policy, approved by the national AAUP membership last month, provides for giving reasons and for review of nonrenewal decisions as a "safeguard against arbitrary, capricious and indiscriminate actions" by both faculty and administrators, Adams said. Speaking in support of the tenure committee proposal, Adams referred to a 1966 statement from the MSU chapter of the AAUP concerning the "Orange Horse Three," three instructors in University College who were not reappointed. At that time, the AAUP council recommended that an annual - review of facuIty members be conducted with the outcome communicated to individuals in writing; that nonreappointed faculty members be notified in writing in time to allow for appeals within the department before _,the decision is relayed to the dean, and within the college before the decision is relayed to the provost. The notification should, the AAUP said, include some explanation of the basis for the nonreappointment, which should be considered privileged information. Five years later, Adams noted, the UItiversity is acknowledging these recommendations and formalizing them into University policy. A motion to have review and appeal procedures available at each administrative level within the University, with hearings to consider both substantive and procedural matters, was referred to the tenure committee for further consideration. In other action, the Council: * Approved the deletion of the health, physical e duca tion and recreation requirements, but referred back to the (Continued on page 6) Employees' group to meet'; election of officers slated Election of officers is the highlight planned for the annual meeting of the MSU Employee's Association next Wednesday (May 12) at 7:30 p.m. in Room 102B ofWeQs'Hall.

Universities are experiencing rapid social change, but it's only preparation for what will come, says the chairman of MSU's . Dep¥iment of Medicine. Writing in the spring issue of the MSU Centennial Review, Scott N. Swisher says: "At present, only the vaguest outlines of what universities must become in order to fulfill a socially viable role can be gleaned from the rhetorical babel which arises from he contending groups." He maintains that to restore the uni"'!y they once had, universities must deal with human values as well as the acquisition of knowledge and skills. "We need a larger sense of common purpose, an overriding academic principle which will provide a major orgartizer for most of our activities. A coming together within the university to deal with problems and values can provide such a force." * * * MOBILE POLLUTION LAB. Thanks in part to a mobile laboratory, MSU scientists are developing an early warning system for water pollution. ·'Man1 of the things which indicate pollution in a stream are so gross that it's ahnost too late to do anything about it," says Niles Kevem, chairman of fisheries and wildlife. He and scientists from the Institute of Water Research are comparing data from three Mi~!tigan streams in varying degrees of ponution to fmd factors which are early pollution indicators. The· mobile lab is a trailer that automatically and continuously measures the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, the water temperature, the acidity of water and the presence of salts. . A new handbook detailing the University's anti - discrimination policy and procedures has been issued by the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. It outlines the purpose of the policy, the kinds of discrimination defines prohibited, describes the Committee Ap.iost Discrimination and the Anti - Discrimination Judicial Board, and lists the appeals procedures. In a foreword to the publication, President Wharton says the document .... epresents a significant ·fmt' for a major university.

The concert is at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Auditorium. The wolk, "About," is dedicated to Hutcheson's daughter; Arnie, and was written especially for the New Musical Art Ensemble. The ensemble is conducted by Larry Nelson, a doctoral candidate in music composition. Science notes M oral issues face scientists By PHILLIP E. MILLER News Bureau ,.·We must all get used to the idea tliat biomedical technology makes ·possible many things we should never do." , Scare statement? Perhaps, but such statements are on the increase. This one was recently made in Washington by Leon R. Kass, Executive Secretary of the Committee on Life Sciences and Social Policy of the National Academy of Sciences. '·Recent advances in biology and medicine," he said, "suggest that we may be rapidly acquiring the power to modify and control the capacities and activities of men by direct intervention and manipulation of their bodies and minds." What he went on to say -drew to SUNday will return Dialogue between students and community residents is the aim of SUNdayII, planned for May 16 by two MSU students. SUNday II, similar· to SUNday held last June, is planned as a day of dialogue in a congenial picnic setting, say Belinda Novik and Doug Solomon. It already has support from the East Lansing - Meridian Chamber of Commerce ; Mayor Gordon Thomas of East Lansing and Jim Brown, Republican state representative for the East Lansing· Okemos communities. SUNday will be May 16 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. in East Lansing's Valley Court Park adjacent to the bus depot and People's Church. Kass was mind images of humans being raised - much as mushrooms in a cellar. talking about cloning, which has been used on plants and animals to make duplicates of the plants and animals. " .. .Its extension to man merely requires the solution of certain technical problems," he said. What he didn't · guess at was the extent of expense, work or time required to solve the certain technical problems. If you were the scientist who f"IISt discovered how to clone man, what would you do with this knowledge? If you don't like the cloning example, then think back to the scientists who foresaw the atomic bomb. Usually, in the scientist's eyes, if information does not scientific somehow get presented to others, then the scientist is negligent who withholds information for very long. is GEORGE FAIRWEATHER, MSU psychologist, goes further beyond what he believes is the typical scientisfs ideals. ·'It the responsibility of the experimental innovator to see to it that his inventions are used in the best interests of mankind," said Fairweather in a recent discussion of a book he is completing. "Once a new scientifIC discovery has been made, the ethical scien tist cannot leave ih implementation to others unless he has strong assurance of that successful implementation. If the scientist is to act humanely, his scientific job is not done until implementation has been accomplished." Likewise, the scientist must try to prevent implementation of what he believes is harmful, said Fairweather. "For humanitarian reasons, therefore, the scientist must now turn his attention to changing his society in beneficial directions through the use of scientific means to create an acceptance and appropriate use of his innovations." Fairweather agrees that this thinking often puts scientists in an impossible dilemma. Often a discoverer cannot accurately predict the most important of future applications of the discovery, DUch less the better of all possible applications. And neither could all the technologists, world's computers, politicians and dreamers. On the other hand, possible applications and relatively rapid payoffs are sometimes quickly seen by many. BARNE'IT ROSENBERG, an MSU biophysicist, believes that society carries the moral burden to decide which discoveries, applications and basic research to support. the "Scientists provide tools," Rosenberg said at a recent MSU seminar on the future of science. ·We provide the means to move in the directions chosen. I am not a technocrat Our job is not to make social decisions, but to provide means." In living testimony to these words, Rosenberg and his team have pursued implementations of their remarkable discovery - that platinum chemicals inhibit cancer. Both public and private agencies made that support for this pursuit was worthwhile. Without the funds the work could not be done at MSU. the decisions T'his example would pass muster in Fairweather's eyes since the R~senberg group saw to it that their discovery was the best of their implemented abilities. to But too few scientists have been· morally responsible for what they have created, Fairweather believes. Yet, he adds, if science cannot get us out of the social and environmental messes we are in. then we will never get out. fonns on which cases of discriminati()n may be reported, are available from the OffICe of Equal Opportunity Programs. 312 Administration Building, phone 353-3922.

The profeSSor of botany and plant pathology has just returned after 40 days on Kerguelen Island, located in the southern Indian Ocean about 2,500 miles from either Mrica or Australia. It was called ··Desolation Island" by its French discoverer, Yves Joseph de Kerguelen - Tremarec, who sought a wealthy civilization. But to Imshaug, the island is a rich botanical resource with a colorful history that can be traced from its present inhabitants: A strange collection of cats, rabbits, birds, sheep, reindeer, seals and about 100 Frenchmen who man a weather station. The National Science Foundation supported Imshaug's small group and handled the diplomatic complexities involved when foreigners want to work on a French island. With Imshaug were two graduate two professors, one an American, the other Australian. students and Imshaug will spend the next year analyzing some 3,500 plant specimens scheduled to arrive here soon, attached to a ton of rocks. * * * KERGUELEN IS ACTIJALLY an archipelago made up on one large island and several smaller ones, with a total size ab~~t the same as Rhode Island.

It is getting harder to hitch rides to isolated places, Imshaug notes. Air cargo planes are . replacing ice breakers as carriers of provisions in Antarctica, and satellites are replacing some of the remote ground weather stations.

But man has profoundly altered life on the remote island. In the 19th century it was a major fur seal hunting ground and a port for whaling vessels, many of them from New England. The seals were neady killed off, but rabbits arid sheep, introduced by sailors as a meat source, have thrived. "Anywhere you look, you can see dozens of rabbits at a time," Imshaug says. The rabbits have nearly destroyed rarest plants, one of island's the Kerguelen cabbage. first It was discovered by Capt. James Cook and was commonly eaten by sailors to help prevent scurvy. Few rabbits have been killed for their meat, Imshaug says, because they taste too gamey. The French inhabitants raise sheep as well as reindeer, which they introduced in 1954. they ' upset reports, and Thousands of cats roam Kerguelen, the he population of birds who nest on the ground of the treeless island. Their ancestors apparently escaped from ships. Imshaug says that the rare game hunter on Kerguelen receives a bottle of Henry Imshaug and a royal albatross: Highlight from an earlier expedition to Campbell Island. Rejecting students not the answer This is the second in a two - part series dealing with the report issued last fall by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education. The analysis of the rq»orl is by Robert H. Davis, assistant provost and director of the Educational Developmm.t Program. T11e questions were asked by Barbara Mcintosh, assistant editor in the news bm-eac. The Carnegie report says that 47 of every 100 students who enter college nefti' graduate. What is the ratio at MSU? Would it be fair to say that these 47 should never bave entered college? About 50 percent of the students entering Michigan State graduate after four years.. Perhaps 70 to 75 percent of students who enroll here eventually earn a degree, either at MSU or elsewhere; It would not be fair to say that 47 out of 100 reported by the commission should never have entered college. Several years ago the MSU li!8ming Service conducted a study of dropouts (Self - Reported Problems and Adjustments to College, June, 1969, by Benjamin Beit Hanabmi). Financial worries and family problems were especially prominent in :relation to dropping out. Obviously, students leave college for many reasons totally unrelated to academic performance .... The commission seemsto imply that many problems (including the rmancial problems of higher education) can be solved by having colleges and universities reject laIger numbers of students who in their confusion about goals and opportunities today opt for higher educatio~ and by shoving those college students who have difficulty deciding who they are or wha t they want to be out the back door - into a society, I might add, which may not have prepared a place for them. The commissio~ suggests several new options which shouJd'be available to high school graduates, J.e., persons who learn outside til e nonnal academic cllanneJs should receive higber education credit. What is your reaction to this? . . . It is my impression that some officials in Washington have been too busy beating on colleges and universities to examine objectively the scope of the p.roblem. After all, there are over 5 million students enrolled full time in higher education. However one calculates it, state - supported institutions are a bargain for the individual and particularly for the society. At Michigan S1ate we are helping 40,000 people to become useful citizens ... We are feeding and housing half of them. We are prOviding meaningful work for many of them and the opportunity for educatjonal and psychological growth for all of them. We are helping to prepare them to operate the most complex tec~ological socjety the world has ever known. Assuming the total cost to SOCiety and the individual is about $4,000 to $5,000 a year, including board and room, is that really too high? It costs about $10,000 a year to maintain an infantryman! The commission feels that if its proposals are adopted, the result will be savings of many billions of dollars over the next decade by cutting university operating expenditures and construcJion. I'm not so sure. I do not believe we can build and operate the social mechanisms needed to deal with the problems I've mentioned without spending large sums of money, perhaps more than would be saved by revising the way we operate our universities. 1b.e Carnegie Commission says, '·We need more paths and more rates of progress to individual self - fulfillment and service to society." How do you see new paths developing at MSU'! And what do you predict will be the most significant changes in the next decade, in general and specif .... cally at MSU'! There is no way to' predict precisely what the future will bring, but I hope it will be in the direction of building a University without walls. Of course, we do not actually have walls surrounding Michigan State, but there are subtle and invisible barriers that restrict the free flow of people and ideas. In the past, it was most emdent and economical to bring students to the University because there was no practical way of bringing the University to them. But the emergence of modem methods of telecommunication is changing this. . .. I would like to see us develop a plan that explores the possibilities for exploiting cable networks, the computer, television and other technological means to move the University as a process out to the people. But beyond this, I hope that we could, develop closer relationships with community colleges and high schools, utilizing their facilities and perhaps even their faculties to integrate programs and serve the people. I hope that in the future we will focus more on the University as a process rather than on its bricks, mortar and land, that we will begin to specify our goals as dearly as we have specified means in the past, and that we will certify student competencies regardless of how they are acquired or where or at what age . Finally, I hope that we will be using a much wider range of teaching methods a decade hence. In particular, I would like to see us require students to assume . greater responsibility for their ownleaming. We have become far too dependent on the lecture method. The other day I participated in a discussion in which it was suggested that some of our difficult instructional and curricular problems might be partially solved if more large lecture halls were available to departments. PrOviding more large lecture halls to meet our curricular needs is analogous to building more super highways to solve mass transit problems; there are better answers available in both cases, but they cannot be implemented without stressing the present system. Stress and change go hand in hand, and this University is under great stress.

The woodsmen with foresight to leave trees standing in those clearings formed the precedent which has helped develop th~MSU campus into the arhSJretupt yark it is today. Beginning with the fust tree and shrub planting i n 1857, the number of varieties on campus has increased to 5,500 in a deliberate attempt to try to grow every plant that could survive in Michigan. Thousands of representative trees and shrubs are labeled, says Milton Baron, director of campus p'ark and planning "so the plants may be for education as well as a joy to the eye." * * .. WHAT IS THE procedure for campus plantings? According . to Baron, plantings are decided at the same time that plans are made for ne~ buildings or complexes by the Site Planning Unit. The aim, in a site analysis, is to maintain the same density and space throughout campus. In the nurseries, new plants are being developed and tested for their hardiness in Michigan weather. Seed exchanges are made with other countries in order th test as many plants possible that are foreign to Michigan soil. Plants that succeed in the nurseries are tried on campus. Each plant location is recorded, and according to Baron, the records are now partially computerized. The actual planting of most trees and shrubs is done by 80 to 100 members of the grounds maintenance crews. The horticulture department plants and 'maintans the flower beds. * * * THE PLANTINGS on campus are divided for educational purposes in four Bins ready for old glass ;If you don't know what to do with that glass you've been saving for recycling, you can dispose of it now in bins on the campus. The unsupervised bins, open around the clock, are located on parking lot "L," one-half block west of Harrison and Kalamazoo streets in East Lansing. The program will operate on an experimental basis to determine whether Lansing area residents will voluntarily grade and dispose of glass properly. More than 150,Qoo pounds of glass have been collected daily and transported to Owens-Illinois, a bottle producing companY'in Charlotte. Glass must be clean, sorted by color, and free of metal labels and rings from twist-off caps. It is not necessary that paper labels be removed because they are easily destroyed in the melting process. major groups, and are labeled by group in the central campus: * Systematic, or family groups that illustrate botanical relationships. * Economic, or selected groupings have direct use to man. * Ecological, or components of plant communities representative to Michigan. * Landscape, or plants valued for their ornamental qualities.

Curriculum changes approved for Justin Morrill College- The Academic Council has approved a reduction in credit requirements for four areas in Justin Morrill College; effective beginning this fall. Credits required in · arts and humanities, social science, and natura1 science will be reduced from 20" to 15; in inquiry and expression, the credit number will be reduced from 12 to eight on a prOVisional basis for students entering JMC before fall term of 1973. The number of disciplines required in arts and humanities and in social science will be three out of the respective fIve and six which are available. Other changes in the JMC curriculum include removal of the senior seminar requirement on a trial basis for students graduating before or during the summer of 1973, and the specification that 20 credits of JMC courses be included in the student's electives. Barbara Ward, assistant professor of fine arts in JMC, said that the changes are "really not that extensive. They are primarily a redistribution of requirements rather than a complete change in curriculum requirements." There is a possibility, however, that Justin Morrill will undergo a complete overhauling in the future by remaking the whole concept of the college. in But those future plans are "a different level of change in the college not to be compared to the routine is curriculum changes something t otally separate," said D.

The Council also approved establishment of 60 new courses in 11 colleges. this - - REGINA SHERARD Faculty Club changes name; now it's the University Club Members of the MSU Faculty Club decided in a meeting last week to rename themselves the "University Club." "We feel the new name more adequately reflects the true nature of the organization," said Gale E. Mikles, president of the club and professor of health, physical -education and recreation. The membership also ratified a change that will extend voting privileges to all me-mbers - active, emeritus and associate. Associate membership is limited to 100 ~rsons, and is for those not officially employed by the University. Most members are faculty and administrative-professional _ employes. Mikles also said that there has been discussion of a possible second membership class that would make financial allowances for graduate assistants and 10weHanking A-Ps who would like to join the club. The club requires a $225 deposit, and the average member spends about $30 each month: For dues - $17.50 - and for $12.50 minimum of food and beverage charges. * * * THE CLUB'S GRILL has a new name - The Shibui Room. The new name was judged the best submitted in a recent contest that attracted about 60 entries. According to club officials who conducted the contest, shibui is a Japanese word meaning "a blending of colors, texture an!! fabrics to create something beautiful." To help decorate the room, Hideya Kumata, professor of communication, donated some Japanese wood block prints and the person who -submitted the winning name - and who asked to remain anonymous - won two free dinners in the room. Other entries intcuded ''The Snack Pit," "The FacuI tea Room" and "The Spartan Room." Officers of the club have also announced that dining facilities are now open for Monday luncheon, from II :30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The club had previously not served lunch on Monday.

Registration is limited, and persons interested should contact Mrs. Vogel, 455 Erickson, at 355-9568. About 40 faculty members met Tuesday night in the Union lounge to discuss actions to be taken to protest the no work~o pay directive issued by Provost John Cantlon last week. The no wor~~o pay resolution had been approved by the Academic Council last fall and by the Board of Trustees. Most of the faculty members at the Tuesday meeting said they would write individual letters to the provost reporting their own violation of the either by participating in policy - moratorium, reporting yesterday's previous consultirig trips, or giving notice of future absences from class. Several also signed a letter composed by Norman Pollack, professor of history, which said, in part: "We, the undersigned, the provost's reject directive on maintaining business as usual, as discriminatory, intended to intimidate dissenting faculty, and perversive of a free intellectual climate on which learning thrives. "By serves the directive's underlying assumptions, one best the University by meeting classes at a stipulated time and place, in a rigid contractual framework, where moral sensibilities have no place, evidences of intellectual growth are immaterial, and deviations that imply criticism of such standardized procedures are regarded as a the threat University. the society and to ''Timidity, fear and vindictiveness are not the signs of intelligent leadership. The Uniyersity is not a factory to be in subservience of the administered State, nor is the faculty the transmission belt of authority, abdicating its traditional role of encouraging critical awareness. New appeal procedure • • • (Concluded from page 1) He then moved that "each shall be given, upon request, a one-year extension of his contract" to permit a reconsideration of reappointment under new procedures. The new procedures, which would allow giving reasons, have been approved by the Trustees and by the Academic Council. In later discussion at the Trustee meeting, the names of Murray and Miss Van Tassell were specifically mentioned. Richard Seltin, acting chairman of natural science, said that these two are the only two nonreappointed faculty who requested reasons in writing. A third nonreappointed member of the department said he requested reasons verbally from department chairman Emanuel Hackel, but was told that deliberations were confidential. He did not appeal the decision, he said, "because I saw no hope of getting through." . Reconsideration of renewal for those natural science faculty who are still here in the fall will be "from scratch," Seltin said, including a review of the faculty, and a new vote, which would require a 60 percent majority for reappointment. If the decision is still not to reappoint, reasons will be given, he said, and the faculty members can immediately appeal. Although the ad hoc committee which will reconsider is the same group which originally considered the four cases, the composition of the group has changed, Seltin said, by the addition of 10 or 11 tenured faculty members in the last two years, and the departure of three members of the original group. The department facuIty's action in a pproving these procedures are provisional, he said, because there is still some question as to what the Trustees want the department to do. A letter is being directed to the Trustees, Seltin said; regarding this question. The department faculty was to have met yesterday afternoon to further discuss the issue. There is still some qu~stion SeItin said, about what kinds of reasons are legitimate and how much documentation is needed. He said he suspected that a subcommittee Qf the faculty will meet with the University attorney to discuss these questions. *** UISS V AN TASSELL has been requesting a reconsideration for more than a year. She said the department faculty never saw her records, which are normally used in consideration of reappointment, because a student had accidentally taken the fIle before the deliberations. She also questioned the original consideration , calling it a "hasty decision," because it took place orily about one year after she and Murray had begun teaching here. The consideration took place one year earlier than nOTI!lal because department chairman Hackel was to be away on sabbatical thi~ year. And Miss Van Tassell questioned the appeal procedures. The department bylaws allow an appeal to the department faculty affairs committee, but that committee consists of three tenured faculty members who, because . they are tenured, are also members of the ad hoc committee which made the original decision not to reappoint. Proxy appeals were made to the department and to the dean, Miss Van Tassell said, by' some of her colleagues. She said she did not appeal to Dean Edward Carlin because he had told her in private conversation that there was nothing he could do. The bylaws also provide for an appeal to the entire department faculty, but Miss Van Tassell said the body declined to hear the appeal. She appealed to the University FacuIty Tenure Committee on procedural grounds, but that committee saw no procedural violations. Miss Van Tassell, however, questibned the provision, as stated in the faculty handbook that "procedures shall also exist by which the faculty member may confer with this sub-group before a decision is made in his case." Both she and Murray said they were asked if they would like to confer with the the ad hoc committee before committee had met and before their cases were actually being considered. Both said they declined becaUse they thought reappointment was automatic and because they thought their records were sufficient. James Butcher, assistant dean of natural science, who was chairman of the tenure subcommittee which originally drew up the statement on nontenured faculty (now 'in the faculty handbook); said the original intent of that provision was to allow faculty members to know what the decision was before it would be announced or before it would go on to the next level. An appeal could then be made before the decision went on to the next level, he said. - BEVERLY 1WJTCHELL "Om purpose is to demand that the conditions of academic freedom be esta~lished on substantive and the procedural application of unversalistic principles .. insure lines that "While the directive stands, claims both of University neutrality and academic freedom itself are misleading. "We think it (the directive) should rescinded or enforced. either be OtherWise, it becomes merely an instrument of selective terror, giving credence to the view that the University hides behind the fabric of law to pursue a lawless course .... "The provost must face the dilemma of his own creation: Either convert threats into concrete action, and risk the prospect of a reversal in the courts' or else convene the appropriate bodie~ to have the directive nullified. "We shall not be intimidated; failure on the provost's part to pursue one or the other of these courses encourages administrative irresponsibility, promotes disrespect for the law , and furnishes grounds concerned to initiate such legal actions as will compel a determination of the issue." faculty for The group discussed the provost's directive and the protest against it on three levels: An immediate protest ' against it; long-range implications of the directive; and the issues in terms of the moratorium and anti-war feelings. On the immediate level, the directive was viewed by spme as capricious and discriminatory, and as Pollack said, "We can't let any group of dissenting faculty be picked off by capricious whim. An injury to one is an injury to all." On the long-range, Pollack said that "the directive presents for us one of the first cracks in an authoritarian facade, a vulnerable spot in what appears to be an . oppressive apparatus." Pollack, who chaired the meeting, said the group's numbers were not that important, as long as it was cohesive and kept track of actions taken against individual faculty members. He said that nothing could be expected from the faculty as a whole and that the issue should be taken to the courts. "I'd rather take on the faculty," he said, "than expect some widespread conversion." As a group of about 20 faculty gathered in front of the Administration Building Wednesday the statement to the provost, the building was evacuated by a bomb threat. to present The group then presented the statement to the provost on the steps of the building, with a copy to President faculty members Wharton. Other presented their own letters. Neither Cantlon nor Wharton had any comment.
