Board  of Trustees  asked  to  meet  Friday 
to  consider  retroactive  salary  raises 

The  Board  of  Trustees  will  meet 
Friaay  at  6  p.m.  in  Kellogg  Center  to 
consider  an  administration 
recommendation 
that  the  University 
grant  a 7 percent pay increase to faculty 
and  staff "as originally planned, with no 
strings,  making  up  any  later  internal 
deficit 
forced  savings  and 
perhaps  painful program  reallocations." 
President Wharton said in a statement 
Wednesday 
recommended 
the 
couse  of  action  was  "in  the  best 
interests  of  the  University  and  its 
personnel. " 

through 

that 

amount  MSU  could lose  from the  state 
(thUS  making  a  3.5  to  4  percent  wage 
.  hike);  to  provide  the  7  percent  raise 
now  with  the  understanding  that  it 
could  be  reduced later in the fiscal year; 
to provide  the  7  percent raise and make 
up  any  deficit 
through  saving  and 
reallocation. 

In  making  up  any  deficits,  Wharton 
said,  the  University  will  give  priority to 
making  severe  economy  measures  in 

the  area  of  personnel; 

operations  and  to  cutting  programs. 
"While  there  will  be  some  economizing 
in 
through 
restrictions  on short-term or temporary 
employment  and  the  replacement  of 
turnovers,"  he  said,  "no  layoffs  are 
contemplated. " 

The  7  percent  wage 

increase  for 
faculty would be an average figure, since 
deans  a.l1J  department  heads have  been 
urged  to  provide higher  raises for senior 

faculty  affairs  and 

faculty.  The  suggestion  odginated with 
the 
faculty 
compensation  committee,  which  urged 
that  pr.ofessors  and  associate  professor 
be  brought to a higher comparative_rank 
among Big Ten schools. 

If  the  Board  approves 

the 
recommendations,  attempts  will  be 
made-
to  provide  payment  of  the 
retroactive  raise  amount  in  separate 
;hecks, as soon as posSible. 

The  Board  had  been  scheduled  to 
meet last  week:  to  consider granting  the 
7  percent  retroactive  Increase,  but  the 
meeting  was  postponed  in  the  wake  of 
Gov.  Milliken's  announcement  that  he 
was  authorizing cuts of up to  3 percent 
in  state  appropriations  for  a  state 
"contingency fund." 

Faced with this uncertainty, Wharton 
said,  the  administration was  faced with 
three .  basic  choices:  To  reduce 
the 
proposed  pay  raise  by  the  maximum 

C.B.  materials 

available 
Five  sets  of  materials  on  collective 
bargaining in higher education, including 
a  complete  bibliography  of  all  known 
publications  on  the  subject,  are  being 
made available for faculty use by the Ad 
Hoc University Committee on Collective 
Bargaining. 

One set will be at the reference desk in 
the  main  library,  one  in the Chemistry 
sub-library,  and  one  in  the Wilson  Hall 
sub-library. Two sets will be "roving", to 
be  checked  out  for  longer  periods  by 
departments  or other groups.  Thesemay 
be  secured from  the  Receptionist in the 
faculty  wing  of  East  Akers  Hall. 
Information on the roving sets is available 
from Mrs. Perry, 353-2930.

The  highway: An 

The proposal for a highway across the Michigan State 
campus dates back 22 years, to October of 1949 when 
the  State Highway Department requested a right - of -
way t'o extend Main Street eastward to then - U.S. 16 
(Grand River Avenue). 

Here,  based  on  excerpts  from  Board  of Trustees 
is  a  chronology  of  the  Board  actions 

meetings, 
concerning the highway~ 

OCT. 20, 1949 

The  State  Highway  Department  asked  for  some 
assurance  that  the  Board  of  Trustees  would  make 
available  a  right - of - way  for  the extension  of Main 
Street to U.S.  16, involving a right - of - way north of 
the  Grand  Trunk  Railroad  from  Harrison  Road  to 
Hagadorn Road. 

The  Board voted  to instruct  the secretary to notify 
State  Highway  Department  officials  that  when  they 
were ready, the right - of - way will be made available to 
them. 

OCT. 19, 1956 

Highway  Department  met  with  the  Board  and 
proposed  a preferred route for the new limited access 
U.S.  16  highway  through  the campus north  of  the 
Grand  Trunk  Railroad.  Other  possibilities  were 
discussed, including a route parallel to Cavanaugh Road 
and  then  turning  north  between  Lansing  and  East 
Lansing. 

. 

The Board voted unanimously to adVise the highway 
commissioner  that  it  had no  enthusiasm  for  U.S.  16 
across  University  property;! that it would cooperate if 
the route  were· parallel to  and  near  Cavanaugh Road. 
The Board recorded its  unanimous opposition to the 
more  northerly  route  preferred  by  Foster  and 
Bellenbaum. 

SEPT. I7.1964 
Director  Harold  Lautner  (of  campus  park  and 
planning)  appeared before  the Board with charts and 
maps  showing  the  probable  effect  on  MSU's  future 
develQpment if the proposed throughway on the north 
side  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Railroad  were  eventually

Indications  of  extensive  participation  in  next 
week's  hearing  on  the  proposed  cross  - campus 
highway has  caused a  shift  in the hearing location to 
the Big Ten Room of Kellogg Center. The hearing had 
originally  been set for the Lincoln Room. 

The  public  hearing  will  begin  at  1 :30  p.m.  next 
Thursday (Oct.  14). It is  expected to last until about 
6  p.m.,  but  if all  witnesses  have  not been heard, an 
additional hearing date will be set. 

This Sunday  (Oct.  10), a group of 10 faculty and 
student  naturalists  will  lead  a  walking  tour  of the 
route  for  the proposed cross  - campus highway.  The 
tour  will  begin  at  9  a.m.  from  the  Grand  Trunk 
Railroad  crossing  at Hagadorn  Road and will go west 
to the  Harrison - Trowbridge intersection. The tour is 
not  a  protest  against  the  proposed  route,  explained 
Paul  Risk  of fisheries  and  wildlife.

F acuIty  'sold  down  the  river'? 

Note:  Assistant  Provost  Herman  King  attended  the September conference  on 
collective bargaining for  faculty  ("Faculty Power") at the University of Michigan 
(News  - Bulletin,  Sept.  30).  In  the  following  point  of view,  he  examines  the 
suitability of collective bargaining for faculty. 

I have an  uneasy  feeling  that Michigan  State is about to be sold down the river 
with  the  best  of  intentions  on  the  part  of  all  concerned.  Attendance  at  ~he 
"Faculty  Power"  seminar  did  not  qualify  me  as  an  instant  ~xpert on collectIVe 
bargaining,  but  it  did  provide  some  basic  concepts around which my concern can 
be organized and expressed. 

. 

' 

The  traditional and  perhaps mythical model  of a university is the "corrnnunity 
of scholars"  model in  which it is assumed that the interests of the faculty and the 
interests of the administration are identical or nearly so. "Community of interest" 
is the key characteristic of this utopian institution. 

" 

. 

' 

If "community  of interest"  represents one  end  of the  scale,  perhaps  ,conflict 
of  interest"  represents  tile  other.  It appears  that  there  are  many  organizations, 
mostly  industrial  in  nature, where  conflict  of interest .b~tween ?'lan.agement  and 
labor  is  indeed  a  pervasive  and  continuing  characteristic.  Leg1slatlOn  h~s. been 
enacted,  conflicts have  been  adjudicated,  precedents have  been  set,  practitioners 
have  been  trained,  and collective bargaininghas become  the  order of the day - all 
to resolve the inherent conficts of interest between labor and management. 

In the  past few years  several universities .  ~eem to have decided that since they 
fall  short  of  the  "corrnnunity  of  interest"  ideal,  they  must  be  at  the  other 
extreme.  At  any rate,  they  have  adopted,  for better or for  worse, all  the complex 
and  expensive  legalistic  machinery  that has been developed to deal  with industrial 
conflict  of interest.  Maybe  they were  right. Maybe  conflict  of interest was  their 
prevailing characteristic. 1 have no way of kn?win.g. 

. 

But  I  do  kI10w  something about  tllis  UJUVeruty.  It would be  n31ve  to  assume 
that  there  is  a  perfect  community  of  interest  between  the  faculty  and  the 
administration at MSU,  but it is  equally  naive  to assume  that  there  is' a pervasive 
and continuing conflict of interest. 

After  serving  this  institution  'for  26  years  as  extension  specialist,  classroom 
teacher  researcher  and  administrator,  I  atn  firmly  convinced  that  at  least  75 
percent  of  our  so-called  conflicts  are  not  reall~  conflicts  at. all.'  but.  ~e 
misunderstandings  based  on  inadequate  or  poorly  tuned  corrnnUnICatlOn  WIthin 
our own system. 

Must  we  pay  an  outside  organization  to  convert  our  misunderstandings  into 
conflicts  just  because  we  don't  take  time  to  listen  to  each  other?  Is  there  no 
procedure which will  improve  communication rather than stifle it, and which "ill 
at the  same  time  provide  for  the  resolution  of those few conflicts which prove to 
be real rather than apparent?

CHAIRMEN IN  FACULTY UNIT.  The  National Labor Relations Board has held 
for  the  fIrst  time  -
that  department 
chairmen may be included in a faculty bargaining unit. The  NLRB  also ruled that 
facu1ty  members  at  a  private  university (also  Fordhatn)  are  "entitled to  all  the 
benefits  of collective  bargaining  if they  so  desire."  And  the board said  that the 
Fordham  law  faculty  cou1d  have  its  own  bargaining  unit  because  it  had  an 
"identifiable  group  of employes"  with a "separate corrnnunity of interests." The 
NLRB  in  a  ruling  last  spring  said  that  facu1ty  members  at C.W.  Post Center  of 
Long  Island  University  had  bargaining  rights  but  that chairmen  were  supervisors 
and thus not eligible to join the facu1ty  unit.

suggests  a  possible  alternative  to  collective  bargaining  as  it  is  customarily 
practiced  in  the  industrial  sector.  His  suggestion  is  of particular interest to this 
institution  because  it  represents  a variation (a  critical variation,  to be  sure)  of a 
system already established on this campus. 

Rehmus  describes a hypothetical committee, elected by the faculty •. re~onsible 
to the  faculty,  and  supported by very nominal dues paid by the faculty. The dues 
provide  released time  for one or more members of the committee who, with some 
secretarial  and  technical  help,  constitute  the  "staff'  of  the  committee.  The 
"administration" provides only office space and access to all necessary data. 

WOtking  with data assembled  by its staff, the committee prepares proposals for 
discussion  with  the  administration.  To  the  extent  that committee  proposals and 
adminstrative  proposals are  in  agreement,  or can be brought into agreement, they 
are  forwarded  to  the  governing board as joint proposals of the administration and 
the  faculty.  If the  committee  and  the  administration  carmot  agree,  options are 
available,  either  mediation  or  arbitration,  before referral  to  the  governing  board 
for  a decision  on the  administrative  recorrnnendation.  Mediators or arbitrators, if 
needed, are invited from other academic institutions. 

The  establishment  of  such  a  committee  system  presupposes  an  institutional 
grievance  procedure  and  the willingness of the faculty to exhaust the institutional 
procedures before  resorting  to  the  courts. It presupposes also a genuine desire for 
more  communication rather than less, and a desire on the part of all to resolve the 
problems of the university rather than to formalize  t~lem. 

Attendance  at  the  "Faculty  Power"  seminar  increased  my  respect  for  the 
expert  practitioners  in  the  field  of industrial  relations,  but  it  strengthened  my 
conviction  that industrial relations are not the same as academic relations and that  " 
the bargaining table is not a substitute for academic communication.

Urban  affairs 
college proposed 

The  long-awaited  proposal  for  the 
College  of Race  and  Urban  Affairs  has 
been  submitted  to  Provost  John  E. 
Cantlon. If approved, it would be the first 
multidisciplinary  urban-oriented, 
degree-granting  program  at  a  major 
university, according to Robert L. Green, 
director of the Center for Urban Affairs. 
It  would  offer  both  bachelor's  and 

advanced degrees. 

Green  said  that  the  CUA-prepared 
proposal  is  now  being  studied  in  the 
provost's office, after which he expects it 
to  go  to  the  University  Educational 
Policies Committee. 

"I hope  the proposal will be approved 
no  later  than  the  beginning  of winter 
q u ar t e r ,"  he  said.  "This  projected 
timetable  is  based  on optimism  and  the 
fact  that  the  planning  leading  to  the 
document  has  already  been  shared with 
key academic officers in the University." 
* * * 
THREE SPECIAL features are cited in 

the 1 22-page proposal: 

*  The" 

report  says, 

"The college 
will  concert),  itself with particular racial 
and urban problems central to the quality 
oflife in Michigan  and the nation."

Ag  college sets  open house 

The College of Agriculture and Natural 
Resources  will  hold  an  open  house 
Monday  afternoon,  Oct.,  18,  to  show 
faculty  and  administrators  outside  the 
college  some  of  its  new  research  and 
teaching techniques. 

The  program  starts  at  1:15  p.m.  in 
Anthony Hall with comments from Dean 
L.  L.  Boger  and  S.  H.  Wittwer, 
experiment station directoI'."  j  " 

Stllrtmg at '2:\5, visitors can take one of 
six tours:  Natural resources, engineering, 

pesticides,  biological  science,  plant and 
soil science, and food science. 

Teaching  features  will  include  a 
self-teaching,  self-testing learning  center 
and a "teaching greenhouse." 

Research  techni,ques  to  be 
demons,trated 
include  an  erectron 
microprobe,  controlled  atmosphere 
storage,  microwave  cooking, 
photochemistry,  gas  chromatography, 
mass spectrometry., and an "unpolluter" 
for recycling animal wastes. 

To  accomplish  this,  Green  says,  "the 
college  will  be  divided  into  two  units: 
One concerned with problems of race and 
ethnocentrism,  the  other  wi$  the 
substantive problems of urban areas such 
as health, education and housing." 

*  A  second  feature  of the  proposed 
college 
is  its  multidisciplinary 
coursework.  "Since attention is focused 
upon  problems  rather  than disciplines," 
. the  report  says,  "it is  essential that the 
views  of  any  discipline 
that  can 
contribute to the solution of the problem 

be brought to bear upon that problem." 
* The third characteristic, Green says, 
is the key to the proposal. He emphasizes 
that  the  college  is  designed  to combine 
c ou rsework  in  the  community, 
traditional  academic  coursework  and 
problem-oriented research, often carried 
out  in  the  community.  "Thus,"  the 
report  says,  "research,  community  and 
coursework  are  perceived  as  a  whole by 
the  new  college,  each  having  an  equal 
place in the training procedures. 

"It is  the purpose of the college to train 
people  who  are  service  oriented, 
knowledgable  about  problems,  and 
interested in bringing this knowledge and 
scientific  expertise  to  urban-cehtered 
problems." 

* *  * 
THE DOCUMENT ALSO lists possible 
courses  in  the problem areas  of racism, 
urban health science and urban resource 
development. 

Suggested  courses  in  urban  health 
science  include:  The cultural impact of 
heaith  issues;  the  prevention  and 
management  of  health  problems; 
innovative  and  comparative  health care 
systems;  current  organization  of health 
services  -
local  state  and  national; 
processes  of  project  funding;  systems 
affecting urban populations. 

- " 

Urban  resource  development  focuses 
on  'housing,  transportation  and 
education,  with  such  suggested  course 
offerings as:  Human aspects of housing; 
new development and trends in housing,; 
social welfare policy - housing and urban 
development;  and  urban  housing  and 
residential neighborhoods. 

Campus  highway issue  •  •  • 

(Concluded from page 1) 

completed  as  planned  by  the  State  Highway 
Department. 

After considerable discussion, on motion by Warren 
Huff, seconded by Stephen Nisbet, it was unanimOUsly 
voted to authorize officers of the University to advise 
the  State  Highway  Department  and  others  that  the 
University  would  insist  on  the  constmction  of the 
highway  in  such a way  as  to provide  a  separation  of 
grades with complete accessibility for University traffic 
at  all  times  across  the new highway  at Bogue  Street, 
Farm  Lane  and Power Plant Road.  The  trustees also 
suggested that those planning the highway consider the 
possibility  of  separated  highways  crossing  the  new' 
highway  at  Harrison  and  Hagadorn  Roads.  It was 
understood  that  if  this  University  requiremen,t 
increased  the  amount  of  monetary  contribution 
required for  the City  of East Lansing,  the  University 
would  stand  prepared  to  negotiate  an  appropriate 
6ettlement with East Lansing  for any additional costs 
required to solve the University'S problems. 

APRIL 20, 1967 
A  communication from  Howard E. Hill, director of 
the State Highway Department, was distributed to the 
trustees. It was increasingly clear that extension ofM-
43  across  University  property  without  a  grade 
separation at Harrison Road will create insurmountable 
problems for the University and the community. 

SEPT. 19,1969 

Secretary  Jack  Breslin  recommended  that  the 
trustees approve  the followingplflns for construction 
of M  - 43 (knoWn  as  "cross  - campus route"):  Red 
Cedar  Road  would  interse,ct  the  highway  at  grade, 
projecting  to  the  north  only.  Farm  Lane  would  be 
separated from M - 43 by a structure and Bogue Street 
would interchange with M - 43. M - 43 would go under 
Farm Lane, the latter remaining at about existing grade 
and  not  separated  from  the  Grand  Trunk  Railroad. 
Bogue Street would be depressed, going under both M-
43 and the railroad. It was not clear if East Lansing was 
Willing to participate imanciaUy in the additional cost 
of Bogue Street treatment. 

Kenneth  Thompson  moved;  seconded  by  Don 
,Stevens"  and it was unanimously voted to approve the 

recommended  plan  for constuction  of  M-43.  Huff 
suggested  that  the  highway  department  be  asked  to 
permit  University  grounds  people  to  assist 
in 
landscaping the banks and grades on the highway. 

JUNE 18, 1971 
Henrik  Stafseth,  director  of  state  highways,  and 
other  members  of  his  staff met  with  the  Board  to 
discuss  previous  planning on the M-43  cross - campus 
highway. Stafseth pointed out that following the Board 
action of October, 1949, providing aright-of -way for 
extension of Main Street to U.S. 16, planning began for 
a whole network of roads for the Lansing - East Lansing 
area. He said that the highway department had tried in 
planning  M-43 
to  accommodate  the  University's 
request for  design  of the  road within available funds. 
He  said  that  the  highway  department  was  not 
absolutely  pleased  with  the  Harrison  Road crossing. 
but was  convinced it would work.  He also  said that a 
grade  separation  at  Harrison  and  Trowbridge  Roads 
would  be  fmanciaUy  impossible  for  the City  of East 
Lansing. 

Some  trustees questioned the necessity and value of 
any  cross  - campus  road.  Others  questioned  the 
location,  suggesting  that  Mt.  Hope  would be better. 
The  problem of exhaust fumes and their effect on the 
experimental  greenhouses  at  Farm  Lane  was  also 
raised. The real value of the road to the University was 
questioned. 

' 

In rebuttal, Stafseth said that because the University 
was the largest single Ilenerator of tr~s in the area, the 
highway department felt the loCation of the road greatly 
benefited  those  coming  to  the  campus.  He  also 
indicated  that  with  improved  standards  for  auto 
exhausts  by  the  middle  '70s  and  modern  airflow 
filtering  systems,  the  highway  would  not  prove 
damaging to the experimental greenhouses. 

Jack Patriarche, East Lansing city manager, reviewed 
briefly  the serious problems that would be created on 
Grand  River  Avenue  in East Lansing should the M-43 
not  be  approved  by the Board. He  also  outlined the 
investment  East  Lansing  already  has  in  Trowbridge 
Road  which  was  based  prilriarily  on the assumption 
that M-43 would continue  east of Harrison across the 
campus.  Both PatriaI"cb~ an~LStafseth indicated that 

the  very  expensive  deSIgn  of  the  Trowbridge 
interchange was based on M-43  crossing the campus. 

After the presentations, the Board discussed at great 
length what action it should take. There seemed to be 
some trustees who would agree to the location if there 
were  a  change  in  the  highway design,  particularly  at 
Harrison  and  Hagadorn  Roads.  Some  felt  a  new 
location was absolutely necessary. Others felt that they 
did  not  under  any  circumstances want  the proposed 
highway to cut across MSU property. 

Pat  Carrigan  movec,l,  seconded  by  Thompson,  to 
advise  the highway department to seek alternate routes 
for  the  proposed  highway  which  did  not cross MSU 
property.  Voting  "yes"  were  Stevens,  Carrigan, 
Thompson,  and  Hartman;  voting  "no"  were  Huff, 
Blanche  Martin,  Frank  Merriman,  and  Clair  White. 
Motion failed. 

Huff moved,  seconded by Merriman, to instruct the 
highway department that the highway {M-43}would be 
approved  only  if  there  were  grade  separations  at 
Harrison  and  Hagadorn  Roads.  Voting  "yes"  were 
Huff, White,  Martin, and Merriman; voting "no" were 
Carrigan,  Hartman,  Stevens,  and  Thomspon. Motion 
failed. 

Thompson moved, seconded by Merriman, to advise 
the  highway  department  that  the  board  rescinds  its 
previous  action  1)f  September,  1969,  approving  the 
proposed highway design and location. Motion passed 
unanimously. 

It was understood that, on the basis  of this action, 
further  discussions  would  be  conducted  with  the 
highway  department  on  the  issues  and  objections 
raised. 

SEPT. 10, 1971 
Wharton distributed a  tentative outline of the plans 
for  the  public hearing on the proposed cross - campus 
highway, scheduled for 1 :30 p.m., Oct. 14, 1971, with 
additional  hearings  to  be  scheduled  if  necessary. 
Wharton suggested that  1hetrustees should delay action 
on  its proposal until the Nov.  19 Board meeting, after 
they  have  had  an  opportunity  to  consider  the 
information presented in the public hearing.

Campus Community  Chest 
opens  campaign thIS  week 

Last year more  than 114,000 persons 
in  the  Lansing area used health, w~lfaie, 
and  youth  services  provided  by  54 
United  Community  Chest-supported 
agencies.  Some  of  those  people  and 
others  like  them  still  need the  services. 
This  week  MSU  kicks  off its  annual 
Community  Chest  Campaign 
its 
effort  to  help  meet  those  needs.  Tlle 
campaign runs through Nov. 3. 

in 

MSU,  a  unit  of the  government  and 
education  division  of 
the  United 
Community  Chest,  has  its  goal  set at 
$202,000  olit  of the total Lansing  area 
quota of $2,180;000. 

this  year  as  University 
Serving 
chairman  for 
the  Community  Chest 
Campaign  is  John  C.  Howell,  associate 
dean  of hu'man  medicine  and  of social 
science.  Vice  chairmen  are:  Thomas  A. 
Dutch,  manager,  Brody  Complex; 
Russell  G.  Hill,  professor  of  resource 
development;  Louis  Ross,  stockman,

leaders  and  approximately  275  unit 
solicitors  are giving their time and effort 
to the campaign. 

The  services  that the  chest-supported 
agencies  render  complement  those  of 
they  meet  "needs 
government  and 
expressed  by  a  wide  range  of persons," 
Howell  said. "Moreover, these voluntary 
agencies  provide  one  significant  avenue 

by  which  the  concerned'· citizen  can 
become  more  personally irtvolved - as a 
volunteer  worker,  as  a  participant  in 
policy  making,  and  as  a  donor  -
in 
improving  the  quality  of  life  in  our 
community." 

Howell  explained 

that  about 
one-third  of chest  contributions  go  for 
fanIily  services,  including  parental  and 
unwed  mother  counseling,  adoption 
service,  mother  and  child care,  legal  aid 
for  low-income  and  minority  groups, 
and blood  collection. 

Another  third  is  spent  to  promote 
health,  social,  educational and character 
development  of  boys  and  girls,  with 
special attention t<Yinner-city youth. 

The  balance  of the  campaign funds is 
devoted  to  health  research,  including 
the  cause  and prevention  of cancer  and 
other  diseases.  About  9  cen~s of each 
contributed  dollar  goes 
for 
administrative  activities  of  the  chest 
itself. 

Community  Chest  agencies  at  one 
time  or  another  serve  nearly  every 
family in the community. 

Contributions  may  be  made  by 
check,  cash  or  payroll  deduction. 
Persons  willing  may  designate  anyone 
or  combination  of  Chest  agencies  to 
receive 
their  donations.  Contributors 
may  also join  the  1 percent club. Those 
contributing  by  payroll deduction may 
do  so  by  lump  sum in  February,  or  12 
equal payments beginning in January. 

Wharton  urges  support 
for  Campus  Chest  drive 

TO MSU FACULTY AND STAFF : 

The  annual University  Community Chest Campaign at MSU is ready to begin. 
The  success  of this  drive  will  help  deterririne  whether  more  than  50 different 
agencies  will  be  able  to continue their record ,of service  to the  Greater  Lansing 
area. 

Our  contributions  to  the  Community  Chest  Campaign  are  a measure  of our 
willingness  to  participate in  service  to  the community. We  at MSU can be proud 
of the  support which we  have  given  in  the past. This year, however, the state of 
the economy, the wage freeze  and related factors may cause you to place a lower 
priority  on your participation in the campaign than in previous years. I urge you 
not  to  allow  this  to  happen.  Most  of those  served  by  the  Community  Chest 
agencies  are  affected  even  more  by  adverse  economic  conditions than  are  we, 
and they must depend even more than usual on a successful drive. 

Therefore,  our  obligation  to  participate  this  year  is  even  greater.  I  know  we 

will meet the test.

. Recommend,ations would offer options 

Page S, MSU News - Bulletin, Oct. 7,1971 

The  University  Educational  Policies  Committee  (EPC)  proposal  to  modify 
general  education  requirements  is  des~ed  to  ~ak?  ~;Xlole  '~the  general 
education  options  that  students  have  m  the  Uruverslty,  according  to  W D. 
Collings  EPC chainnan -and professor of physiology ..

The  proposal was  submitted  to the provost's office.in June,. in .accord with· the 
, 
But  because  some  problems  must  be  resolved  before. the  recol1l11\endations 
could be implemented,  it  may  be  some  time before they will go to the Academic 
€ounciL 

. 

. 

OneEPC  recommendation  is  toretaiti the current minimum  o( 4S  credits in 
general education, but no longer  require  that the minimum  be met solely  within 
the University College. 

. 

But  before  the  University  College  requirement  can  be  dropped,  other course 
options  must  be  developed,  and  this  could  require  budgetary  rearrangements 
among colleges and departments. 

. The  frrst  step,  however,  is  to  develop criteria and  acceptability forgeneral 

education credit for the alternative courses. 

Dorothy  Arata,  assistant  provost  for  undergraduate  education,  has  been 
working since  spring  term  with  an. ad hoc committee to develop those criteria for 
existing  as  well  as  new  courses.  Chairman  of the  ad  hoc  committee  is Douglas 
Dunham,  chairman  of  social  science  and  president  - elect  of  the  National 
Association of General and Liberal Studies. 

The  ad  hoc  committe~, ·Ar!lta  said,  will  develop  a  position  paper based on a 
philosophy  of  general  education  prepared  by  Dunham.  The  position  will  be 
discussed by the provost's staff and  then "launched" for campus-wide discussion. 
Ultimately,  it will  be  forw~ded to  the University Curriculum Committee (UCC) 
for ap p r o v a l . ·  

. 

Interested  persons  will  be  able  to  respond  to  that  paper,  Aratal  said.  She 

expressed hope that it would be ready early this month. 

The  EPC  also recommended  that  the 4S-credit general  education requirement 
be  "reasonably  equally  divided"  into  three general :areas  - arts and humanities; 
biological,  physical  or mathematical sciences; and  social  and behavioral  sciences. 
Interdisciplinary  courses may  serve  as  two  or more areas. The requirement would 
also

to  demonstrate  proficiency 
communication. 

include  courses 

And  EPC  suggested  continuing  to  permit  colleges  to  substitute  in  the  area 
closest  to  the  student's  major,  and  continuing  the  provision for  waiving  general 
education requirements upon demonstration of competence. 

*  *  * 
THE  EPC  FURTHER  recommended  that,  to  give  more  student  choices,  the 
University College  faculty  be  authorized to  develop upper level general education 
courses, and additional fr~sbman andsophomor~ general education courses. 

But  it  also  urged  that  all  colleges  be  encouraged to provide  access  to general 
education  courses  now offered,  and  to  develop  new general education courses at 
both lower and upper division levels. 

Some  of these  courses,  EPC  suggested,  "should be  developed jointly by te.ams 
of faculty  members from  two  or  more  colleges  or departments in the pattern of 
the present University interdisciplinary courses." 

Again,  critieria  for  any  new  courses  or  options  will  be  developed  through 
Arata's office  and through UCC.  And  a major  factor  will  be  financial constraints 
on courses qualifying for general education credit. 

Assistant  Provost  John  Dietrich  is  working  with  an  EPC  subcommittee 
concerned  with  implementing  and  coordinating  the  recommendations.  Data are 

AA UP  council calls meeting 
to  organize bargaining  drive 

being  gathered  "on  the  problems  in  resource  allocation  related  to  the  broa~ 
change  in  the present system."  Dietrich  sai<l  that  the  problem  now  is  that  if 
students  begin  to  take  alternative courses, such  courses must be  staffed  and  the 
departInentsfunded. 
_  At ~ same  time,  a plan for "phased implementation" of the proposal is being 
developed.  It is  C9nceivable  that all  the requirements will not be  dropped at  the 
same  time,  or  that  a  control group  of freshmen  will  be allowed  into the  option 
program.  This  would  give  the  University  an  opportunity  to  study  enrollment 
trends so that funding of programs can be  adequate. 

Full  implementation  of the EPC  recommendations might be  a few years away, 
Dietrich  said.  But  a problem  exists today, he  added,  because more than 10,000 
students  already  seem  to assume  that  the  changes  are  going  to occur during their 
tenure at the University. 

*  *  * 
A  SECOND  PART  of the  EPC  recommendation  dealt with development of a 
baccalaureate degree program in general studies. All colleges - not just University 
College  - who Wish  to offer the bachelor's  degree  in general  studies may draft a 
"precise  proposal  detailing  the  nature  of  the  program  to  be  offered,"  EPC 
recommended.  Those  proposals  would  then  go  through - normal  University 
curricular charmels. 

~hould  the  University  College  proposal  be  accepted,  a  recommendation  to 
modify its organizational charge  would need to be developed for action according 
to the Bylaws  of the Board of Trustees.  This action  is needed,  because University 
College is the only college not currently organized for a four-year program. 

It is not true, as  reported  last week in  the  State  News,  that the  EPC  proposal 
would  allow  University  College  to  initiate  a degree  program.  University College, 
like  other interested colleges - such  as social SCience, arts and letters, and natural 
science - m~y develop a specific proposal for regular evaluation and debate within 
the UniverSIty. 

*  *  * 
THE  EPC  RECOMMENDATIONS  date  back  to  October,  1969,  when  the 
provost asked the  committee  to  advise  him  on the organization of undergraduate 
education ..

In June,  1970,  EPC  made  several  recommepdations to  the provost, including 
four  which  have  been  implemented  or  are  in  the  process:  AppOintment  of an 
assistant  provost  for  undergraduate  education,  evaluation  of  the  residential 
colleges; changes in language  requirements,  and  development  of alternative living 
patterns. 

EPC  at  "that  time  also  made  several  recommendations  concerning  general 
education, 
the.  45-credit  requirement,  shared 
responsibility  among  the  several  colleges,  availability  of a distribution  of courses 
at all levels. 

reaffirmation  of 

including 

And  EPC  proposed  that  University  College  be  encouraged  to  develop  a 
general-liberal  degree  program.  In  November,  1970,  the  University  College 
proposed  a  program,  as  did  other  sources.  All  proposals  were  referred  by the 
provost to the EPC. 

J'he  new  EPC  recommendations  remained basically  the same  with two major 
exceptions:  All  colleges  may  develop  proposals  for  the  degree  program,  and 
criteria should be developed for acceptability of general education credit. 

As  it now  stands,  the  EPC  recommendations will  not be  sent  to the Academic 
Council  until  three  things  are  done;.  Data  are  collected  on  the  problems  of 
resource  allocation;  a  plan  is  developed  for  phased  implementation  of  the 
proposal; and criteria for course acceptability are  developed.

Faculty  interested in  an  organization 
drive  for  faculty  bargaining  will  meet 
Saturday (Oct. 9) at a meeting called by 
the  council  of the MSU  Chapter  of the 
American  Association  of  University 
Professors (AAUP). 

The  meeting  follows  a  resolution 
approved  this  week  by  the  council 
which  states  its  intention  to  increase 
efforts  to  unionize  the  faculty  and  to 
become the bargaining agent at MSU. 

Authorization cards will be sent to all 
faculty  and  librarians  on  the 

MSU 
tenure track. 

resolution,  adopted  Oct.  2, 
The 
"The  inability  of  Michigan 
states" 
universities  to  match  education  needs 
with  financial  resources  represents  a 
serious  breakdown  in  the  traditional 
manner  in  which universities have  been 
fmanced. 

"The  AAUP  is  concerned  with  the 
deteriorating  academic  situation  at  the 
Yniversity.  Tfie 
admission  of  large 
numbers  of  students  this  fall  withdut 
providing  the  necessary  educational  or 
housing  facilities  for  them  can  only 
harm  the  University  and  all  that it  has 
built. 

"The  inability  of  MSU  to  meet  the 
economic  needs of students, faculty  and 
staff  has  seriously  compounded  the 

problems facing the University. 

in 

"The  AAUP  feels  that  the  faculty 
the 
voice  must  be  heard 
decision-making  process.  The  only  way 
open 
faculty 
for  meaningful 
participation  is  through  unionization." 
Sigmund  Nosow,  professor  of  labor 
and industrial relations  and president of 
the  AAUP  chapter,  said  the  problem is 
the  whole  state  of education, and if any 
organization 
it 
should be state government. 
there 

is  an  inability  for 
leadership to emerge there," he said, "or 
there  is  an  inability for concensus to be 
reached on  education  or fmancing  state 
services. " 

should  be  blamed, 

"Either 

The  problem is compounded at MSU, 
he  said"  by  the  "absolute  irresponsible 
admission of students." 

.Faculty  would  like  to  have  options 
available  when  distribution  of resources 
is  involved,  Nosow,  said,  and if faculty 
had  a  voice  in  these  options  "they 
wouldn't  have  undermined  the  quality 
of education." 

The  AAUP  sent  out  authorization 
cards last  spring  and  received  signatures 
amounting  to 10  percent  of the  defined 
bargaining  unit.  They  will  now  try  to 
obtain  the  30  percent  required  to  call 
for a certification election.

to 

Learning about investments, antiquing, 
creative writing or SwedishgytmaStics .. ; 
a chance  to go backstage after a play to 
see the settings and meet the actors. Such 
are  the  kinds  of interests  served  by  the 
Faculty Folk Club. 

The  group  will  hold  its  annual  fall 
luncheon  to  welcome  newcomers  to 
campus and  the club at 12:30 p.m. next 
Tuesday, (Oct.  12), in the Kellogg Center 
Big  Ten  Room.  Models from Jacobson's 
will  feature  the  latest fall  fashions,  and 
campus newcomers will receive welcome 
kits. 

. There  are  now  667  members  of the 
club,  according  to  Mrs.  William 
Armistead,  president  of  Faculty  Folk. 
And the club  is  always looking  for new 
members. 

Organized  in  1923, ,Faculty  Folk  is 
designed  to  welcome  new  faculty  and. 
provide  interest groups for its members. 
Membership  is  open  to  new  women 
faculty,  and  wives  of  faculty  and 
adminstrative  - professional  personnel, 
says,Mrs: Armistead. 
The  Newcomers, 

Faculty  Folk's 
welcoming committee, is open to persons 
who have  been on campus for two years 

or  less.  One  of their  activities  this  year 
will be visiting the cast of a Performing 
Arts Company winter production. 

Although  the  Newcomers  meet 
separately  from  the  Faculty Folk,  they 
are welcomed into any of the 17 interest 
groups. The  14 gourmet groups boast the 
largest  enrollment  - 175.  Most  of the 
groups  are  composed  of  couples  who 
meet in the evening for dinner. They also 
offer  wives'  groups  for  luncheons  or 
samplings  of  international  foods  or 
demonstrations. 

There  are  painting  groups,  with 
instruction in  oils,  acrylics, water colors 
and  other  art  {orms.  In  June  these 
painting  ,enthusiasts  exhibited  their 
works  of aft  at the East Lansing Public 
Library. The antique group meets five Qr 
six times a year in activities ranging from 
furniture  refmisliing  to  a  guided  tour 
through the Toledo Museum. 

For  those  interested in reading, there 
are  the  book  exchange  group  and  the 
book reviewers. 

Members  of the creative writers group 
meet once a month. The group offers ab 
outlet  for  creative  works  which  are 
evaluated by its members.  For language 

buffs,  there  are  groups  in  Spanish, 
intermediate  French  and  German 
conversation. 

The  international interest group, with 
29  members,  discusses  topics  of 
worldwide  interest,. such  as  problems in 
Nigeria  and  development  in  India  and 
Ceylon. 

Looking to the future, members of the 
investment  group  contribute  $10  a 
month  to the  fund and meet frequently 
with  a  stock  broker  and  counselor. 
Instruction in macrame is included in the 
while  the  stitchery 
knitting  group 
group  members  teach  themselves  the 
latest stitches. 

Swimming,  bowling  and  golf  are 
available  for  sports  - minded members. 
And  there  is  bridge.  A  Swedish 
gymnastics  group  is  in  the' offmg, Mrs. 
Armistead  says.  Or,  if the  club  doesn't 
offer what you want, new groups can be 
formed. 

Registration  for  any  or  all  of  these 
groups  will  be  held  at  the  Tuesday 
luncheon.  Annual dues for  Faculty Folk 
are  $2.50.  Reservations  for  the  style 
show  luncheon may  be  made  with Mrs. 
Frank  MoSsnian,  337~2317.
