The campus · mail load gets heavier A sharp increase in the volume of campus mail has prompted a reaffirmation of the University's long-standing policy governing the messenger service. Emery G. Foster, assistant vice president for business operations, cited the existing regulations in a memo sent last week to several campus groups: The Business Women's Club, the MSU chapter of AAUP, the MSU Employees Association, the Administrative Professional Association, the MSU Faculty Associates, the Employees Credit Union and the University Club. He said that increased use of campus mail has caused a need for more stringent enforcement of the Unviersity policy, which permits distribution of only "official University communications," such as: "Notices of faculty meetings or other University department-sponsored affairs or programs, communications from one department . . . to another, and from one individual to another when pertaining to University business." Regulations prohibit distribution of such items as: "Requests for contributions (except for United Fund), sales or coUectionsby campus organizations, notices of political meetings, organization meetmgs (except meetings of learned and professional societies), church announcements, etc." Foster said that "the situation is such that if we were to grant all the requests, it would require the addition of another route on the campus. With the existing budgetary limitations, this would be impossible at the present time." * * * CLARENCE G. HOFFMAN, supervisor of the messenger service, said that campus mail volume ~s grown from an average of some 56,000 pieces a week in 1966 to more than 100,000 a week now. Assistant supervisor Robert Lyon said that the current messenger service force of seven, including five carriers, is taxed to its limit. He said that adding a new route would cost $10,000 to $15,000 in personnel and equipment. Campus mail is now delivered am, pkke~,<,up twice daily at all departments. Lyon said that half-day service is the rule, particularly if campus mail is properly addressed: The recipient's name, department and building. * * * THE' EAST LANSING Post Office delivers first-class mail once daily to the campus buildings, but the messenger ~service has to distribute frrst-class mail that is insufficiently addressed.

The interviews are part of a study by the central administration into the feasibility and desirability of a prepaid health program for the University. These interviews will help provide the answer-options to be used in a second multiple choice questionnaire which will be distributed to a stratified sample of 1,200 persons, including students (single and married), faculty and employes. A prepaid health plan is one by which a person pays a certain amount of money to a group of doctors, nurses and other health professionals who will provide health care services as needed. The :preplidbealth program has been under study since last fall, when Avram Yedidia, an executive with the Kaiser plan (the largest prepaid health plan in the country) was invited by the College of Human Medicine to study the feasibility of such a program here. His report has been a basis for further study by the All-University Health Center Advisory Board. The medical school would not sponsor a prepaid health plan because, as Yedidia pointed out, "the objectives of the two organizations would conflict ... the medical school's primary responsibilities are teaching and research." With the prepaid program under independent sponsorship, Yedidia said, a cooperative relationship could be developed with the medical school to the41dvantage of both. * * * RESULTS OF THE two surveys will be evaluated by the All-University Health Center Advisory Board, according to Louie Bender, chairman of the board. Bender said the advisory board agreed to study and evaluate the prepaid plan with the understanding that it mayor may not make a recommendation pro or con on the program.

MSU is among nine universities helping to mcrease the number of Black geographers and to improve geography programs at several predominantly Black colleges. The University recently received $25,000 from the U.S. Office of Education to fmance its third year in a fellowship program sponsored by the Association of the Geography of Afro-America. American" Geographers' Commission on Lawrence M. Sommers, chairman of the geography department, said the funds are financing Black graduate students, workshops and summer institutes, and providing an exchange of ideas with certain predominantly Black colleges. * * * WAR-TIME INFLATION The U.S. almost pulled its forces out of China a year and a half before the end of World War II because of an enemy as stubborn as the Japanese - inflation. And the U.S. should ha~e learned a lesson from that experience, Paul A. Varg said in last week's Centennial Review Lecture. Varg is a professor of history and a China scholar. He said that early in 1944, runaway inflation sent China's wholesale price index to 44,789 from ~ base of 100 in 1937. Angry that Allies were concentrating on the. de~eat of Hitler. at ~he e.xp~nse of the war in the Far East, and eager to ma~tain C?nfidence m his regune s economy in the face of communist strength, Chiang K31-shek refused to scale down an artificially high exchange rate. Iristead ' Chiang requested a loan of $1 billion from the U.S. The request was .turned d~wn in Washington, Varg noted, and while considering the request, Amencan OffiCIalS looked at the mounting inflation and some even considered pulling out of China. Comp~omises th~t were expensive but mutually acceptable were finally worked ou~ d~mg the spnng of 1944. yarg said the fucident has implications today in AsIa.. A strong Far Ea~tern policy cannot be based on relations with regimes that lack mtegrated econonues and that are also incapable of attracting broadly based support." * * * MINORITY. ~O~SEWRS- '. Minority and disadvantaged students seeking counselo.r pOSItIOns m co~uruty colleges are eligible for special guidance study fellowships at .MSU, acc~rding to Bob B. Winborn, professor of counseling and personnel sefV1ces. He. s31d that seven fellowships are being provided through the U.S. Office Of. EducatIOn under the Educational Professional Development Act. They are available to. students pursuing the master's degree in counseling ' personnel services and educational psychology. . Stipends, beginning in September, will provide $2,400 for the first 12 months and about $860 for the part of the second ye~ needed to complete the M.S., plus $500 for each dependent. More information is available from Winborn 436 Erickson Hall. ' * * * IMPROVING DA Y CA~. Day care centers for everyone who wants one may not be all th~t g?od, accor~g to Vera Borosage, professor of family ecology. She urged the MicP.lgan Council of Cooperative Nurseries last week to "prod the community into action for the benefit of all children." She also asked the group to assure that day care centers are not a return to institutionalization and that they are'educational rather than custodial. And she warned that day care centers can isolate children into their own age groups and can weaken child-parent relationships. Mrs. Borosage said that mothers should be encouraged to limit their out-of-home work to half days while their children are small, and that both parents and grandparents should be encouraged to participate in the centers. MSUEA launches a study of membership distribution The MSU Employees' Association (MSUEA) has begun a study of its membership to determine if it should decrease its size to increase its chances for recognition by the University. Members attending the association's meeting last week voted to authorize the study., The group now seeks to represent the some 1,700 clerical-technical employes on the campus. Rollen Dasen, MSUEA president and recording supervisor for WKAR, said that if the study reveals that the association's present makeup is limited only a few clerical-technical classifications, then the MSUEA will try to redefme its membership criteria. MSUEA has about 400 members. Dasen said the group has been seekirig to get the some 850 members (50 percent plus one) it needs to ask the University for voluntary recognition as-a bargaining agent. He said that results of the Aesthetics leadership needed Leadership is needed to advance one the most neglected aspects of of community life - its aesthetic heritage - Mrs. Dolores Wharton said in an address last night. "You have a choice," the wife of the MSU president told members of the East Lansing Aesthetics Committee. "If society creates a physical environment dominated by disorder, sterility and similar values will inhumane ness, permeate your life and the future life of the community. "If society wishes to create an aesthetically stimulating environment," she continued, "then you will have built a very different community and communicated quite a different cultural message about who you are and what you are." membership study should be available in about a week. * * * IN OTHER ACTION at its meeting, the MSUEA elected the following officers: President - Dasen; vice president - Virginia Ross, executive secretary in poultry science; recording secretary - Beth Gustafson, senior departmental secretary, Union Building; corresponding secretary - Edna Buchanan, office assistant, College of Natural Science. Elected directors - at - large were: Donald Cross, engineering designer, physical plant; Ann Rebec, office assistant, Personnel Center; Richard Ingersoll, engineering technician, maintenance service. Their terms begin July 1. Incumbent directors are: Donna Irish, office assistant, engineering services; Ora Jones, office assistant, campus park and planning; Katherine Murphy, executive secretary, Center for Laboratory Animal Research. Alumni Weekend is scheduled to campus for Friday will be a time of reminiscing for the class of '21 when the veteran the students return annual Alumni Weekend.

(Editor's Note: The following point of view is that of Kenneth E. Eble direct?r. of the Proj.ect to Improve College Teaching, cosponsored by th; ASSOCiation of .Amertcan Colleges and the American Association of University Profes~rs. He IS o~ leave f~om the University of Utah. It originally appeared in the April 26 Chromcle of Higher Education.) It is no accident that a wave of concern for tenure's adverse effects upon teaching comes hard upon a time of student protest, professional bumptiousness, and general questioning of such public policies as Vietnamization and the building of the SST. The suspicion grows that tenure is being attacked, as always, because it protects the voicing of unpopular opinions. For in all attacks on tenure, none that I have encountered offers actual evidence that teaching suffers because of tenure. To. be sure, hard evidence is difficult to fmd, and from documentable examples of wretched teaching, inferences can be drawn to damn the system. But inferences also point the other way. We have, for example, a handful of institutions that operate without tenure, and these are not conspicuous for excellence either in teaching or in the general academic program. Similarly, among the weakest institutions in the country are ~ho~e ~ which the protection afforded by tenure is weak. Conversely, those mstitutions that set the standilrds for academic excellence are also those in which tenure principles are firmly maintained. None of this proves that tenure is beneficial to teaching or that all the varieties of tenure systems could not benefit from thoughtful examination. * * * SOME SOFT FACTS are obtainable from a recent survey of faculty opinion as to what academic policies and practices most affect a faculty's member's performance. A small number of the fa~ulty members surveyed felt that tenure had an adverse effect upon teaching. A similarly small number felt it was beneficial. A larger number felt tenure was a mixed blessing. The largest number of all felt tenure had no direct effect on teaching, either good or bad. I suspect that this is about as far as even this kind of evidence can take us. Thoughts of protected professors and aging incompetence may incline one to see tenure .as ~e enemy .. : But there is a case to be made that tenure is as necessary for achievmg excellence m teaching as for maintaining freedom of inquiry. First, teaching that would add anything either to knowledge or wisdom must be free to explore, invent and imagine. Second, excellence in teaching grows out of trial and error, a pushing against both institutional and self limitations. 'Third, an institution's excellence in teaching as in scholarship is related to its ability to hold it~ best people as well as to weed out its poor ones. Fourth, teaching profits from both flexibility and security. The one helps teachers break out of deadening routines; the other makes it possible for them to return with imagination and energies renewed. Fifth, excellent teaching cannot operate in a climate of fear nor be brought into being by coercion. All of the above are likely to be enhanced by the minimum security tenure provides. * * * THERE IS A simplistic attitude in the common impatience with tenure that is not likely to work good either in institutions or individuals. For following upon the easy identification of poor teaching with tenure is the demand to abolish tenure and to ftre the incompetents. Who does the ftring? Those who know, in the ftrst place, who the incompetents are and who would have flIed them long ago if it hadn't been for tenure; How do they go about it? By bold assertion and forthright action. No need either to weigh evidence or to exercise judgment. Since most have tenure, most must go. And that, it seems to me, is just what many of these improvers - of - teaching - by - getting - rid - of - tenure may have in mind. Letters • .• - KENNETH E.

Anil Guha: Teaching, learning at MSU __ Page 3, MSti N~ '~ Bulletin, May 20, t97i Americans might take some cues from India for a frank approach to family planning. That's the feeling you get when you talk ~ith Ani! Guha, head of the Publications Unit of the Mass Education and Media Division in India's Ministry of Health and Family Planning. Guha is visiting MSU to study publication production and distribution. But the publications editors who have talked with Guha feel that they have learned more than they have taught. India's campaign on family planning is immense. The central government gives it top priority, a110cating more than 3 billion rupees ($400 million) for this program for the next five years. Guha and his staff produce basic information folders on family planning methods to the tune of 10 million copies at a time. They're printed in 12 regional languages, plus English. . Guha's task seems impOSSible. There are 554 million people in India, with abol,lt 82 per cent of them living in rural areas. Literary levels runs only a,bout 30 per cent. Yet, more than 80 per cent of the population is now aware of some family planning method. About 9 million Indians have volunteered for sterilization. About 4 million women are using the IUD loop (intrauterine device). Another 3 million people are regular users of conventional contraceptives. * * * THE MAIN GOAL of the family planning program is to reduce the birth rate, which now stands at 39 per 1,000, says Guha. This has dropped 10 per 1,000 Science notes u.s. science policy undergoing change By PHILLIP E. MILLER Science Editor, News Bureau An official science policy statement is under consideration by the Nixon administration. Stimulus for a declaration of science policy 'has cbme from many groups, not the least vocal of which are some students and faculty against Department of Defense funding for university research. Military influence is only one hot issue affecting national science policy; health care is another. Shoddy health care dotted throughout the nation, plus increasing medical costs,have some taxpayers in a fury. Many people hav~ difficulty fmding a good doctor ;qr: adequate hospital facilities. One result, as recently pointed out by Robert Q. Marston, director of the National Institutes of Health, has been a shift in NIH funding priorities. Earlier, in an attack on research and institutional grants, the then Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Robert H. Finch (Faculty News, Feb. 3; 1970) said, "So long as our support programs take the form, largely, of research grants and institutional grants, we practically force a bias toward the lab rather than the G.P.'s consulting room. . . toward the clean test-tube rather than the dirty work of treating sick bodies." Such remarks infuriated some scientists. At a Philadelphia meeting of the American Medical Writers Association, Marston was asked to comment on . Finch's "dirty test-tube" remark. Marston hedged, but constructively emphasized the interdependence of biomedical research and health care. But recently, in a Washington address to science communicators, Marston openly reflected upon the shift in science policy. He said that the biomedical vs. health priorities peaked 2* years ago in Congress in favor -of biomedical research. For about the last year and a half, the swing has been back to health. * * * INCREASINGLY, GRAS~ROOTS level choices are being made not only between the wishes of such blood relatives as health care and biomedical research, but also between increasing demands for research money vs. money for services or research applications. Many decisions will be painful. The Mansfield Amendment was also a symptom of this trend toward "accountability." The "technology assessment" of Rep. Emilo Q. Daddario was another symptom. Research funding agencies such as the defense department have felt such trends most severely. "Some important areas of scientific research will fall in the gaps between the identifiable interests of the various mission agencies the and will not be sponsored," secretary of the air force said last summer in Congressional hearings. "This situation involves risks," he added. ''There is danger that we will innovate modest improvements, but fail to achieve major breakthroughs. History is filled with instances where apparently irrelevant-'scientific inquiry completely eclipsed carefully directed development programs." * * * SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY is nowhere more vulnerable than at the gut-level training of scientists. Cutbacks in graduate student support have been inflicted under the banner-cry of "too many Ph.D.'s." It is now unofficial science policy to Slow down on various specialties of training. , Public attitude towards science also greatly affects science policy. This, too, is under change. " . . . We had science and a science policy which were admired throughout the world," E. R. Piore of IBM told the House Subcommittee on Science, Research and Development. "This has eroded during the last few years." One of the most concise descriptions of science policy given at the subcommittee hearings was that of Lee A. DuBridge, former Presidential Science adviser: "A science and technology policy, if we develop one, must be formulated on an evolutionary basis, continuously under review and subject to change with changing conditions. It must be a policy that can be implemented both by the administration and by Congress, and one which will be supported by the public. Anil Guha: Frankness in family planning. - Photo by Robert B. Brown since the 1920s, but the death vs. birth rate is more out of balance now than it was then. (In the 1920s, birth rate was 49 per 1,000, but death rate was 48.) So today, India's population is growing at a rate of 2.5 per cent - about 13 million people per year. At this rate, that nation's population would stand at one billion by the year 2000. The next goal, says Guha, is to reduce the birth rate to 25 per 1,000 by 1980. The most difficult problem for Guha and his colleagues is fmding a way to reach all' Indians with the family planning message. The idea is to deliver the message so forcefully that Indians are convinced that family planning is the accepted - in fact, the preferred - way of life. "We must 'enter the bedrooms of our people' to give them this information and encourage them to change their most intimate and personal human behavior," says Guha. "This hasn't been easy. While 80 per cent of our people are aware of some family planning method; only 15 per cent o_f _our eligible couples actually practice family planning, and two - thirds of these ~a!JJrom rural India." * * * WITH THE high illiteracy rate, many forms of mass media campaigns are not practical. That's why Guha is aiming his efforts at opinion le~ders, and taking advantage of India's postal service which has some contact With most of that nation's people. . Guha's division is a1so experimenting with the use of postmen to prOVIde information on family planning and to distribute contraceptives. These postmen are sometimes the only "outside world" contact in many remote villages, running relays of 25 miles to bring mail to some areas. In one experiment, postmen in 20,000 rural post offices are distributing (selling) contraceptives. - JOSEPH J.

"This is the latest date we've opened the pool," he said, also noting that the cost of conditioning the pool had risen to an all- time high of $8,000.

A maximum of $2 will be charged for the family swims every Friday evening beginning June 18. For safety reasons, children will not be allowed in the pool unless they are 53 inches tall or can swim 50 feet.

The change was approved by the Academic Council two weeks ago and was on the Academic Senate agenda yesterday. But, follOwing a presentation by Walter Adams, distinguished University professor of economics and member of the national AAUP council, the chapter also urged that "steps be taken to move toward the national AAUP recommendations," which include a grievance procedure at all levels in cases of (department, college) nonreappointment. * * * SIGMUND NOSOW, president of the local AAUP chapter and professor of labor and industrial relations, reported that 288 authorization cards have been obtained supporting the AAUP chapter as an exclusive bargaining agent for the faculty. The number, which remains good for lone year, is enough to place the AAUP on a ballot, if any organization obtains signatures from 30 percent of the faculty and if a collective bargaining election is held. Collective bargaining "is the wind," Nosow said. "It's just a matter . of time." in But, he said, "we don't think the second stage is here yet." BALLOTS ARE EXPECTED to go out to chapter members next week to elect four new members to the local council. The constitution provides for a nine-member council, three nontenured, three tenured and three at large. Nominees fot the four positions are: Pauline Adams, instructor in American Thought and Language; W.D. Collings, professor of physiology'; Edward A.

New organization coordinates minority student placement Minority students seeking a higher education need no longer go shopping the school that best suits their for needs. is specifically designed Michigan's new Association of for College Admissions Chicanos to (ACCA) coordinate minority student placement. Co-founded by a Chicano admissions counselor at MSU, Jose Gamez, ACCA is composed of admissions personnel from eight state institutions in Michigan Michigan State, University of Michigan, Wayne State, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan,. Delta College and Oakland University. Gamez emphasized is important to reach minority students and not allow recruitment to become a competitive race or merely tokenism. that it The ACCA, while working to effectively place students recruited, is also working on fJltering information about programs in higher education down to Chicano students in' the early grades. Graduate students are also being actively sought, Gamez explained, to for provide gUidance incoming undergraduates and to encourage advanced study.

He noted that despite efforts to offer financial aid according to need, there are very few Chicanos and American Indians applying for admission. This problem stems, Gamez says, from the fact that the vast majority of these students in their early school are directed into vocational tracts. in "Also, Chicano students are generally not college oriented due, large measure, to their realization that the costs of attending college would be prohibitively high for their families income. As a result the ninth - through lIth - grade Chicano dropout rate in Michigan is 67 per cent." Page S, MSU News - Bulletin.

Hoar tal!ght, in a high school in Connecticut, in a small private girls' (No.9 in a continuing series) college in upstate New York, and at the University of Western Ontario before coming to MSU in 1969. He has published articles, reviews, monographs and books every now and then "for the usual professional development hokey-pokey '," and he has written some intriguing these<:, For his master of arts degree from the University of Connecticut, Hoar wrote on ''WillianiFaulkner and the American Civil War." And for his doctorate from the University of Illinois he wrote,' on "The Cofifidence Man in American Literature." 'Hoar Sees the confidence man as the foil fQ,r the Americati Adam ' - both of which are mythical figures who run through American literature, Hoar says; from Herman Melville to Saul Bellow. He teaches three courses,in American 'literatule-" 'arid- ' two::' American Studies Seminars: LAST YEAR, Hoar "diScovered" Norman Mailer by teaching a course about him. He explains why Mailer is his favorite author: "Hehasehutzpah. He is a comic nebish. He puts' himself in the awkward position of observer and leader, which he knows won't happen. There is something very' appealing about him." Like Mailer, Hoar is interested in modern American history. He recorded conversations With several students who attended the' fall, 1969, march in Washingto~, D.C.; iil-order to preserve a little piece of history- in - the - miling. Hoar is: now working' on two books: One about the American homefront in World ,War II, ' the other concerning social and protest lnovemen ts in Canada i 930s . . His study, "TIie in ' the MacKenzie-Papineau Batallion: CanaruanPartiCipation in the Spanish Civil -War," ··was published by ' the University of-Toronto Press in 1969. * * "* . HOAR'S'TEACIDNG and writing careers have focused on the literature and' history of the U.S. 'and Canada in the 1930s. He has encountered members of the Communist Party while studying and teaching, and he professes a liking for some of the things they did in the 1930s. "I am mainly interested in the role of the Comniunists in the 1930s - how useful were they in bringing about change? They had excellent organizational skills and talent, and an ability to generate a common. cause a sense of among the people - community and brotherhood. "Their social visions had potential, but their political narrow-mindedness was a corrupting force. For instance, the Communist Parties of the U.S. and Canada were never independent of the party in the Soviet Union. "Also, if there were many strong and good men at the grass roots level, there were also many functionaries at higher levels who demeaned the grandeur and ambitions of the movement. Today the Communist Party is obsolet~,and impotent, and has been for the last quarter century. It is incapa1>le of posing a grave threat to our security." * * * MOMENTARILY ABANDON~G the concept of communism for that of capitalism, Hoar tells what he would do if he were given $1 million: "First I would count it. Then I would figure out how much I had to pay in taxes. I think I would go to Europe. I've never been there." "Arid I would remain teaching at the University and work out a half-time arrangement so I could be more free, more mobile." - NElLA POMERANIZ Prepaid health plan • • • (Concluded from page 1) The board advises the Health C.are Administrative Committee, consisting of Milton B. Dickerson, vice president for student affairs; Andrew D. Hunt, dean of human medicine; Provost John C. Cantlon, and James S. Feurig, director Qf Olin Health Center. That committee will make a recommendation to the president, who Will then make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees, which has the ultimate authority, Bender said, in approving or rejecting each phase of the program. The prepaid program would be designed to include all members of the University community who would choose to participate. The exact coverage included and the costs would depend on what persons would like to have included. The two surveys being conducted by the Urban Survey Research Unit would help answer that question. The prepaid plan is being approachled in six phases, with each phase dependent upon the outcome of the previous phase. The plan is now in phase one, which is primarily informational and educational and involves the surveys. Subsequent phases Will include organizational work, establishment of a pilot program (perhaps next year), facilities development, and fmally a campus-wide plan (which is probably at least two years oft). Charles Downs, biology and medicine editor for the Department of Information Services, has prepared a pamphlet with questions and answers about the proposed prepaid health program. That informatIon Will be made available to all persons involved in the two surveys. Some extra copies are available; interested persons can contact Downs. * * * SOME OF THE questions and answers in the Downs pamphlet are: , How is a prepaid group plan different from Blue Cross • Blue Shield and other health insurance? Conventional health insurance helps a person when he becomes sick but does not give health professionals a him healthy. In addition, financial incentive for health insurance does little to organize health care services to serve the patient more effectively. In a prepaid plan there is a financial incentiv~ to keep subscribers healthy. The group has a specified amount of money to provide specified health care services to a specified population. Can I have my own doctor in a prepaid group plan? A patient chooses the member of the group he wants as his doctor and make&:,appointrnents to see that particular individual. However, in emergencies or when the re~ar doctor is on vacation,-the sUbscriber may see other doctors. This arrangement provides additional protection for the patient because it means that the handling of his case will probably be reviewed by more than one doctor. Will persons on the full - time MSU payroll be required to join? Employes are to be given an option. They will be allowed to continue their present plan or join the new plan. In any case, the University intends to subsidize the monthly premiums as it now does. What will be the rates and services for the' MSU program? . ' Rates cannot be set until more information is available on what members of the MSU community want and are willing to pay for. The answers won't be known until a pilot program can be conducted. It is quite likely that rates may vary according to. age, marital status and other factors, just as there are different rates for insurance. Would dental care, prescriptions and psychiatric care be covered in the prepaid plan? , They may be. It would depend ,upon what subscribers are willin,g to pay for in their prepayment. Who will be in charge of the prepaid program? A consultant has recommended that the plan be sponsored by one of the folloWing: (a) the University,(b) a board representing the administration, subscribers and the Lansing community or (c) any combiantion of (a) and (b). What will be the role of the medical schools? The College of Human Medicine views the proposal as an opportunity to expose medical students to health care at its very best. It is willing to commit substantial expertise, time and resources to e3tablishing a high quality program. to determine what The College of Osteopathic Medicine has not yet had an its opportunity involvement should be. It is assumed that it will be substantial and that appointments to the prepaid staff will include D.O.s as well as M.D.s. the extent of - BEVERLY TWITCHELL Achievements I is ROBERT E.

That's the advice of Walter "Red" Bilinbridge, manager of the MSU Ice Arena arid a former Olympic skater. "Ice skating is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed together by the whole family," he says. "We have kids as young as 2 years old learning to skate, and there's one gentleman who is over 85. is a beautiful and "Ice skating it's athletic, artistic, graceful sport - requires a knowledge of music (for more serious competitors) and it can be very rewarding because there are so many facets, such as figure skating, hockey, and speed skating." The arena offers adults eight classes for $12, each of which gives a student one- half hour of group instruction and one hour of individual practice - "a reasonable way started" Bainbridge says. to get *** BAINBRIDGE HIMSELF started ice skating at the age of 6. After competing the 1948 U.S. as an amateur on OlympiC team and winning the National North American Dance Championship for four years, he decided to teach. ' "By the time you hit college it's . rather hard to keep up an amateur sport unless you can be sponsored," he says. "This is where we are behind many countries .. But, I had an opportunity to teach in order to work my way through college. My' major was business administration and I had no intention of continuing in the (skating) profession after college, but I started teaching and began enjoying it so much that I thought maybe this is my vocation, so I stayed with it." The arena employs a professional staff of four seasoned instructors and has hired expert teachers since Norris Wold first managed the arena in 1948. Wold served until 1961. The winter staff includes Myrna Bodek, a former national competitor; Eugene Heffron, at one time a member of an international team and hi~ wife, 'Sandy; and Beryl Williamson, a teacher for over 12 the years. During summer session internationally Guiliano Grossi, an known Italian competitor joins the teaching staff. During. the summer, open skating is available for recreational skating and to amateurs interested in figure skating. The summer session also includes an amateur hockey program sponsored by the Greater Lansing Amateur Hockey Association. *** THE ICE ARENA Is supported through a revolving budget and is run by Its main the athletic department. purpose is as the ice surface for MSU's hockey team.

The facility was built not as an ice arena, but was an army riding ring before it was Bainbridge: Keeping the ice busy. turned over to the University by the government. The present structure is very poorly designed for handling crowds and spectators, he says. "We supposedly have a seating capacity of 4,000, but anyone who has attended a hockey game knows that most of the seats give a poor view of the ice surface. We had several games last season with about 4,000 people, and it was terribly uncomfortable. Considering the growing popularity of hockey, we can easily' accommodate 6,000 people per game. "My hat is off to the MSU fans because they put up with an awfully lot to see a hockey game. I admire them for continuously coming back." Bainbridge believes television has played a tremendous role in the growth of ice skating and hockey over the past fwe years, but he says that the MSU facility cannot meet the demand. "We just don't have enough ice time. We could be renting to hockey and figure skating groups 24 hours a day if we had another rink." The arena is closed now but will reopen in ~une with skating every night and Sunday afternoons for the fust two weeks. It will be open Friday and Saturday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons for the remainder of the summer program. - REGINA SHERARD Theatre fest "Theatre Festival," three plays in repertory by the Performirig Arts Company, begins tonight at 8 in the first Arena Theatre with performance of "The Rope Dancers." the The festival continues through June 5 with the opening of "The Tempest" on May 25 and "The Country Wife" on May 26.
