Many of these cases never actually get to the board because they are resolved or dismissed following the preliminary investigation by the staff in the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. Persons who feel they have been discriminated against because of race, creed, ethnic origin or sex are invited to direct complaints to either the ADJB or to the Committee Against Discrimination. Both were established by the Board of Trustees in February, 1970. The judicial board handles primarily individual cases brought to it; the committee may investigate class cases and may initiate reviews of areas where discriminatory practices are s!lspected. Some recent cases - most Of theJl? reported cases anonymously to Mrs. Mary Sharp, assistant director of EOP and executive secretary of fhe judicial board - may have to be reviewed by the Committee Against the delineation between Discrimination. Thus jurisdictions of the two bodies may fluctuate at times. * * * THE RECENT UPSURGE of anonymously reported cases, Mrs. Sharp said, may be attributed to the recent activities of new women's groups particularly the . Alliance Against Sex Discrimination which have been investigating alleged discrimination and pushing for changes, especially in the area of salaries. Allegations of sex discrimination have been made to Mrs. Sharp against 14 units of the University. The alleged discrimination takes different forms, from difference in pay rates to lack of women in policy or service positions, such as in the Department of Public Safety.

Amending motions will be accepted at that time, President Wharton told the council. Debate at Tuesday's (Nov. 2) EFC meeting centered on whether decisions of the proposed appeals board should be binding on the president. C. Keith Groty, acting chairman of labor and industrial relations, began debate by questioning section 7.4 of the proposed document which gives the preSident the option to adopt and implement a decision or to overrrule it. Grievance procedures have two missions, Groty said: To bring to fore a problem and have communication on it, or to have resolution. The proposal as stated would not bring resolution, he said. E.

To assume otherwise, he said, is to assume that academic governance does not meet resolution and is not successful in working with the administration. The procedures, Carlisle again emphasized·, are consistent with the existing advisory function of academic governance. I Greer said Thomas Greer, professor of that the proposed humanities, said nonbinding procedures' were illogical and presented a "kind of conflict of interest" for the preSident, who would be "judging grievances against his own the administration." procedures should be modeled after those for the Anti-Discrimination Judicial Board, where the only reference report to the president is that he will actions of the appeals board to the Board of Trustees. Wharton questioned whether a president can delegate legal liability to other bodies. He said similar wording to that proposed by Carlisle's committee exists at other institutions.

Pewabic museum to open Sunday In • Detroit Opening of the Pewabic Museum and Ceramic Showroom at MSU's Pewabic Pottery at 10125 E. Jefferson Ave., Detroit, will be this Sunday (Nov. 7). in It is an important event for the pottery, which has been quietly making ceramic history since 1907, and the University's five-year program to restore the historic facility and develop it into an adult education center in inner Detroit. A highlight of the program will be a demonstration of Raku, a 16th-century Japanese technique for firing pottery. The staff wil1 also conduct some tours of the facility and discuss the education prognim being developed. In the Pewabic Museum will be examples of the pottery, ceramic tiles and murals of one of the pottery's founders, Mary Chase Stratton, whose works are in such diverse buildings as the Immaculate Conception Church in Washington, D.C., and the Science Hall of Rice University in Houston. Pottery with her famous irridescent glazes, the formulas for which she never revealed, is in the permanent collectiom of the Detroit Art Institute, the Smithsonian Institute and Freer Gallery in Washington and San DiegoArt Gallery. And it has been on display in the Louvn in Paris as well as in Germany and Japan IN ITS OPENING, the contemporary showroom will feature the works ono of Detroit's fmest potters. These works may be seen and purchased between 1 and 5 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays during November and December. Both the museum and the showroom figure in the pottery's educational role which Henry J. Caulkins, son of Mrs. Stratton's original partner; envisioned when he gave the facility to MSU in 1966. Donated assistance has made possible the restoration and development of the pottery so that the original offices can be used by the Michigan Council for the Arts and some of the rooms can house classes. Funds are being sought to increase the classroom capacity. The courtyard has been equipped for classes in the spectacular Raku technique in which potters take red-hot pottery from the kilns and bury it in containers of sawdust. Opening day visitors will be invited to view that process and then wait a few minutes to see the unpredictable results. After the soot has been scrubbed away, the Raku pottery 4as a beautiful black body aJ'd brilliantly contrasting glazes. -RICHARD HANSEN Page 2, MSU News-Bulletin, Nov. 4, 1971 Biochemist supports urban affairs proposal , To the Editor: Epistemology is the study of the origin, nature , limitations and methods of human: knowledge. Prof. Ralph W. Lewis' most recent diatribe (MSU News-Bulletin, Sept. 30) against the proposed College of Race and Urban Affairs would require an epistemological literacy test of anyone who wants to plan courses and curricula. Professor Lewis' literacy test suffers from some awkward liabilities. One relates to the particular area of knowledge he selects. It might be just as appropriate to sugeest that, starting next year, no courses be taught at MSU in natural science· until the dean, all the professors, instructors and graduate students have become familiar with the philosophies of Frederick Douglass, Crazy Horse, Geronimo, James Baldwin, Eldrige Cleaver, Huey P. Newton, Angela Davis and George Jackson. The structure of their knowledge may have at least as much import for the teaching of natural science at MSU as the seven philosophic treatises cited by Professor Lewis have for courses in race and urban affairs. A second liability of Professor Lewis' proposed literacy test is that it would make a mockery of serious epistemology .• . It implies that because the body of IglOwledge associated with r\lce and urban affairs requies organization and formal restatement, it is less deserving of recognition and support than a body of knowledge the proponents of which have long since embraced well-publicized postulates and "laws." One need search no further than natutal science for illustration of the mischief wrought by such parochialism. To establish the theory of relativity, for instance, Albert Einstein had not merely to construct a predse theoretical model which unified the classical theories of mechanics and electromagnetism: He also had to throw out the belief tenaCiously held by previous generations of physicists that space and time were distinct and unrelated concepts; the premise that the existence of an ether was essential as a medium in which electromagnetic waves could propogate; and a host of ad hoc assumptions which purported to account for experimental facts observed by pre~ous physicists. The history of iui~urarscl~ric'e is replete with examples in which belief in previous laws, theories and models of natural the processes stubbornly impeded introduction of newer , more adequate theories. Ina~ed, it is only in the 20th century, largely because of relativity theory, that scientists and philosophers alike have become accustomed to the idea that their most successful theories are just partially adequate generalizations a b ou t incompletely understood processes. One of the essential tenets of the working scientist today is that when theory and his observations do not coincide, he may have to throw out theory and start from scratch. In social science, the compulsory imposition of hierarchy of knowledge on is even more would-be investigators intolerable than in the physical sciences. In arguing for the delay, or for the dilution of the proposed College of Race and Urban Affairs, Professor Lewis would do well to heed the counsel of Herbert Feigl, in one of the treatises recommended by Lewis to quality us for. his literacy test: "In many of the urgent issues that confront us, we do not possess enough scientific knowledge to warrant a course of action. This means that we have to act, as so often in life, on the highest probabilities available even if these probabilities be low i,n themselves." (Fiegl, H. and Brodbeck, M., "Readings in the Philosphy of Scien<;e,") However astonishing it may be to Professor Lewis, the . 1~\Vs passed by governments, and ~he lllws devised by scientists and philosopher~ to organize their knowledge proceed from the very same kinds of attempts by imperfect people to invent rules based on their experiences. Both kinds of rules - those of legal justice, and those of scientific explanation and prediction - are subject to continual challer-ge and re-evaluation. To quote Albert Einstein: "It is the privilege of man's moral genius, expressed by inspired individuals, to advance ethical axioms which are so comprehensive and so well founded that men will accept them as grounded in the vast mass of their individual emotional experiences. Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science ... Truth is what stands t1l~ test of experierice~'" (From Ein~tein in "Relativity - A Richer Truth." Also, INTERNATIONAL MANUAL. "International Studies at Michigan State University: Information for Students and Advisors" has been published by the Center for International Studies and Programs. It contains information about the variety of international courses and programs available on th~ campus and is available from the dean's office, International Studies and' Programs, 211 International Center. LIBRARY HELPER. A new series of publications is being issued by the MSU Library to help students and others find materials on specific topics in the libraries. First in the "How to Find ~ries" is "Ffuding Chicano Materials in the MSU Libraries," written by Jacqueline Airall of the urbatraffairs library and Patricia White of the reference library. The information leaflet~ ·ah~ja"allable at the reference desk in the main library. ; i A new book "Routes to the Executive Suite," by Eugene ~~ Jennings , professor of management, was the basis of a series of front-pag~:(~~~W;rAm~es ill tp.e Wall Street Journal. The articles describe men who have taken differe.rit,p;lt hs to the top, how they operate along the way and ho,,~ they rule once they get there . ..

MSU's research and teaching facilities are depicted in the lead story of the October issue of Consumer Power News. . the last essay in Fiegl and Brodbeck, op. cit.) Today - in response to two centuries of brutality, hypocrisy and refusal on the . part of the white majority to extend the full privileges of the American Constitution to the Indian, the black, the Mexican-American and other ethnically different groups - large and militant assemblies from those groups have issued to the un mistaka ble challenges credibility of that document as an instrument for their government. In opposition, unmistakable challenges have been issued by large numbers of Americans who are dedicated to nothing more than the perpetuation of racism and its associated economic royalism as a way of life. The major flash points for the impending confrontation lie in the cities of America, and the inevitable primer for the explosion is racism. It appears to me that the fundamental issue in the debate over the proposed College of Race and Urban Affairs is whether a major American university is to make a bold and original contribution to the peaceful resolution of this long-brewing confrontation, or whether decisiveness will yield, as so often in the past, to further sophistries from the defenders of academic inertia. Certainly, .the same resources of energy, learning and self-examination which land-grant universities tapped to make America the world's largest producer of food are available for the assault on racism and poverty. Professor Lewis warns that not to use his kind of understanding would be an act of academic immorality. The matter of academic morality is not one to be taken lightly. It is one on which all of us, including the distinguished professor of natural science, should reflect deeply and atlength. David G. McConnell Professor of biochemistry and biophysics Ohio State University Bring back annual reports To the Editor: Though I'm not much concerned about information on faculty salaries or its disclosure, the eruption of this controversy reminds me of a related matter which I'd like to bring before the MSU community now. When I returned to this campus in September, 1962, following three years of representing MSU at Comilla, East Pakistan, I wanted to fmd out just how this University came to be so deeply involved internationally. Professor Emeritus Shao Chang Lee, director of the Institute of Foreign Studies from its wartime beginning in 1943, kindly helped inform me. President John A. Hannah believed that peace would not be permanent unless all people. wherever born, were assured "those reasonable opportuirities and freedoms to which all people are entitled." His sense of mission led to the world's becoming MSU's campus . . What facts I found on how Hannah's educational , phil~sopp.y was initiaJiy implemented came largely from the '.'Annualg~p'qrts .tq, the Secretary· of the State Board of Agriculture," beginning .:, A ! j ~) with the 83id (1944).

Hence, I Iecommend that the University administration or the Board of Trustees initiate action leading to a thorough study of the costs and the benefits likely to-- result if a modern version of the "Annual Reports" referrred to were to be prepared and made suitably available. The recently published ''ProfIle of a University" strikes me as an attractive, informative atld very well-done brochure. intended to be a But it is not comprehensive , detailed, factual document - and I think it cannot perform the function of that kind of report which is·essential if the public is to be adequateiy informed. Edgar A. Schuler ~rofessor of education and sociology Ch'est, SAM are criticized To the Editor: As I understand the matter, the National Council on Crime and Delinquincy (NCCD) would normally be expected to receive about $3 ,100 of the $2,180,000 total budget of the Lansing United Community Chest (LUCC). Of this $3,100, some $165 possibly could have been used by NCCD to promote more restrictive gun laws . . Amounts like these evidently constitute a sufficient threat to the dogmatic position of the Sportsmen's Alliance of Michigan (SAM) that these "sportsmen" have felt justified in forcing an end to the autonomy of NCCD , an agency supported under the LUCC. Armed with the cancellable pledge in place of the shotgun, and showing the same implacable fearlessness with which they face the ferocious rabbit and squirrel, our valiant hunters have stalked the redoubtable NCCD and Michigan the United Fund (MUF). Holding helpless young and poor as hostages, these cheap heroes have succeeded in turiling the LUCC into a weapon against an organization whose sin was to dare to dis'agree with their fundamentalist notions about how to control violence. Until the actions last week of the MUF, NCCD and SAM, I had decided to send my.l per cent to the NCCD instead of the LUCC, with the request that the excess of contributions like mine over the usual $3,100 be turned over to the Community Chest, in order not to reward zealotry on any side. Now my only recourse is to make my contributions to worthy agencies not so readily subject to blackmail. Perhaps the SAM, who is calling the tune, may wish to pay the piper by making up to the LUCC the defections like mine. And perhaps the Boy Scouts, the YMCA and all the other agencies of ·the Chest may start wondering if it will soon be their turn. Donald Montgomery Professor and Chairman Metallurgy, mechanics and materials science Anti-discrimination machinery . •• Page 3, MSU News-Bulletin, Nov. 4, 1971 (Concluded from pag~ 1) When Mrs. Sharp x:eceives a complaint - often by telephone - she may invite the caller to visit the office, unless the complaint can be handled by telephone. "We try to see if they have a case," she said, and see if the complaint can be resolved without filing a formal complaint wi th the ADJB. . In a preliminary investigation, the EOP st.aff will try to assess facts. In the case of alleged salary discrepancy, Mrs. Sharp said, an attempt is made to determine the situation of the complaint and with regard to comparable people: How do people meet the criteria for salaries? Are they being treated differently? If so, what is the reason or explanation? The staff conducting the investigation reports to the AJDB subcommittee which is assigned to study a given case. If there is no reason for dissimilar treatment of a complainant, or if there is a preponderance of evid~nce, the committee may decide the issue, and the case can be resolved without going to the judicial board. If the committee cannot resolve the issue, it will recommend action to the judicial board - whether there has or has not been discrimination. The bo~rd may then concur. The board has, Mrs. 91arp SaId, dismissed one case forlack ofinsufficient evidence. The board has also found some allegations to be without cause,and :has settled a few cases. But t~e board has not hadaJguilty case yet, Mrs. Sharp saId. And the provisions for appeal in the anti - discrimination policy and procedures have never yet been used. shp ~,,;rl THERE IS SOME CONCERN that a complainant some of which may be ,very from a department or ,U1Ilt may face retaliation - 'subtle, Mrs. Sharp said - ' head. But the judicial board · has authority in the preliminary investigation to review records - salary, personnel, etc. - without having to contact the department head directly. A unit head would be contacted, of course, before anything is settled; he may be called to seek adjustment of a complaint, or he may be requested to supply further information. A person need not repor~ his own complaint. Someone with knowledge of a situation he believes is ' discriminatory - whether or not it involves him - may contact the ADJB. Again, if the complaint involves an individual, it will likely be handled by the ADJB and its staff; if it involves a more general concern, pattern, or suspected trend of discrimination, it may be referred to the Committee Against Discrimination for study. But have the rules and procedures been successful; And how do you determine success? "I think we've been successful when both parties are just a little dissatisfied," Mrs. Sharp said, "because then both have had to make adjustments to and for each other." And she said there have been cases where someone gets a 'chance f~r a job, or has been returned to a job with an opportunity to demonstrate again his worth. Or transfers have been made to keep a person from being fired and giving him the opportunity to demonstrate his capabalities in a new environment. And many cases are reviewed or at least heard which never get into the records. They may be referred to the Ombudsman, or at least given advice as to how to proceed, as in cases of students with apartment security deposits. . -BEVERLY TWITCHELL The judicial ';board's compqsition The Anti-Discrimination JUdlCIal Board is composed of three undergraduate students and one graduate student; three faculty members, 'and one representative each from the Administrative-Professional Association, the Association of Clerical and Technical Workers, and the AFSCME Union Local 1585. Mrs. Mary Sharp, assistant director of Equal Opportunity Programs, serves as secretary to the judicial board, without vote. The board's jurisdiction, as approved by the Board Of Trustees Feb. 28, 1970, includes allegations of discrimination made by University faculty, student or employes who claim they have been victims of discrimination in regard to race, creed, ethnic origin or sex, by any other emplciy~, student or University organization. Claims must specify the time, place and nature of the alle ged discrimination and identify a respondent to the complaint. The 'ADJB also has jurisdiction over cases iinvolving alleged patterns of discrimination as determined by the Committee Against Discrimination, a separate body. Other policies and procedures governing the judicial board are listed in the pamphlet, "Anti-Discrimination, Policy and Procedures," available through tb.e Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. 7 p.m. - FRIDAY, NOV. 5 "The Great American Dream Machine" includes Amy Vanderbilt on American women growing old, roller derby queen Ann Cavello.

A five-page working outline ha.s been prepared, showing the scope of items the committee feels should be considered and included in any document on faculty rights and responsibilities. The committee's fmal report could become a constitution or an elaborate sort of "contract," said E. Fred Carlisle, associate chairman of English and committee chairman. To a considerable extent, Carlisle said, the report will be a codification of existing practices.

But while the committee may be writing down what is assumed, its report will not be a duplication bfthe statutes, Carlisle said. "We've begun talk about the to desirability of trying to define a position that is beyond the present advisory function of academic governance, but somewhere short of a collective bargaining situation or a situatIon where faculty recommendations are binding," Carlisle said. This point is touched upon in the document in references to shared re sponsibility and to bilaterial participation in decision-making. There are now three subcommittees operating within the committee: * On academic rights and responsibilities - Sandra Warden, associate professor in Justin Morrill College, chairman; Gerald Miller, professor of communication; and Vera Borosage, associate professor in human ecology. * Rights and responsibilities as University employes - - Carlisle, chairman; Assistant Provost Herman King, and Madison Kuhn, professor of history and secretary of the faculties. * Rights and responsibilities as officer.§ of the University - Rita Z ernach, assistant professor in engineering, chairman; Wilbur Brookover, professor of sociology, and Morel!u Maxwell, professor of anthropology. * * * THE WORKING OUTLINE is divided into six sections: I - The preamble creates a setting by defining faculty by function, role (as a citizen of the broader community, as a member of a learned profeSSion, an employe and an officer of the institution), and relationships (faculty - student, faculty - faculty, faculty - administration and faculty - community). 2 - Academic rights and responsibilities cover teaching: academic advising, evalua40n of teaching, and research, scholarship, pub1icat~on and service. 3 - Rights and responsibilities as University employes cover conditions of employment (right to knpw terms of appointment, not to have those terms changed without knowledge or consent, and right to be evaluated on those terms), reappointment, promotion, tenure, resignation, dismissal, retirement and distinctly professional rights of faculty; plus conditions during employment (teaching load, course and time assignments, c 'ommittee and administrative assignments, research and time support, allowances and benefits. consulting, overload pay, supplies and services support), records (type and access), and grievance and appeal procedures. 4 ~ Rights and responsibilities as officers 0 f the institu'tion include con~erns and involvement in the budget process (proposal and allocation of resources), academic governance (faculty organization and authority, student parti cip a ti on, ad min i str a tive par ticipation and support, and appointment of administrative officers). For purposes of this section, the committee considers all faculty in one way or another to be officers of the institution, not just those with administrative appointments (like department ~hairmen), Carlisle said. Asa category, faculty have rights of involvement in certain areas and a responSibility to assume those roles in decision - making, he said. 5 - Political and public rights and responsibilities (public relations) cover the faculty's role in shaping institutional policy on public questions, participation in partisan politics, political freedom as individual citizens and (maybe) the question of endorsement of commercial products. 6 - Grievance procedures are now being discussed by the Elected Faculty Council. * * * The ad hoc committee was established about a year ago but devoted most of its time since spring on the grievance procedures because of faculty interest in that part ofthe committee's charge. Page 4, MSUNews-Bulletin, Nov. 4, 1971 Moving through the committee maze The maze of the University structure and bureaucracy may sometimes seem incomprehensible. News stories, reports, speeches often make reference to several offices, committees and councils, and even the faculty bylaws may seem to complicate the matter. To help simplify things and to focus on the standing faculty committees which the have advisory functions News-Bulletin earlier this year began a series on the 12 standing committees. in major University policy. decision-making, Following is a summary of the five committees previously covered, based upon reading of the bylaws and interviews with the committee chairmen. The seven committees not yet covered are listed. The committee series will resume next week * * * *The University Educational Policies Committee (EPC) considers some of the most important academic changes made at the university, including law school proposals, college evaluations, the grading system revisions. EPC has also developed or studied proposals leading to the development ofthe three residential colleges, the Code of Teaching Responsibility, and the final examination policy. EPC advises both the provost and the Academic Council, but agenda items come from students and faculty as well. Chairman is W.D. Collings, professor of physiology. _ *The University Business Affairs Committee (BAC) is charged with reviewing and making recommendations on "policies withing the service functions and business office that bear directly on the academic and research aspects of the University." Items considered by the committee have included a proposal to change book pricing in the MSU Bookstore, review of the University's hold card policy, study of the growth of copy centers at the University and consideration of Campaign GM proposals. BAC is adviSOry to the Academic Council and to the vice president for business and finance. Chairman is Robert W. Little, professor of metallurgy, mechanics and materials science. *The University Faculty Tenure Committee (FTC) reviews tenure regulations, and advises the provost and Academic Council on appropriate changes. FTC also serves as a judicial and investigatory agency for all tenure actions. The past year was a particularly busy year for the tenure committee because of its role in the consideration and development of the proposal (now in effect) to give reasons for nonreappointment of nontenured faculty. FTC also reviewed bylaws of all departments on campus last year to see if tenure procedures were incorporated into the documents. The committee found that 90 percent of the departments had not written into their bylaws even half of the required procedures for handling non-tenured faculty decisions. This year the tenure committee will be discussing the question of joint appointments and will be handling tenure appeal cases. FTC handles appeals based on alleged procedural deviations from the rules. FTC chairman is Gabel Conner, professor oflarge animal surgery and medicine.- *The University Committee on Faculty Affairs and Faculty Compensation (formerly just the committee on faculty affairs) has the budget as its primary focus, and has worked closely with the provost in developing guidelines for salary increases. The committee (F AFCC) also makes recommendations on other economic benefits for faculty and on personnel policies such as promotion, leaves, health service, housing, etc. Another charge is to develop procedures for faculty grievances on salaries, benefits and personnel policies. F AFCC has endorsed such procedures, which were developed by an ad hoc committee which originally was established by the faculty affairs committee. A former charge to the faculty affairs committee - review of the bylaws - has been transferred to the new Committee on Academic Governance. F AFCC chairman is Frederick Williams, professor of history . *The University Student Affairs Committee (USAC) is undergoing the most radical change of any of the standing committees with implementation of increased student participation. USACwill change from' a predOminantly faculty body with three nonvoting student members to one composed of nearly twice as many students as faculty. Salary opinions are sought in F AFCC opinionnaire Faculty opinionnaires on handling of salary information are due into the Office of the Secretary of the Faculties (East Wing Library Basement) tomorrow, Nov. 5. The opinionnaires were distributed Oct. 25 by the University Faculty Affairs and Faculty Compensation Committee (F AFCC) following an October Board of Trustees meeting when· trustees expressed interest in faculty feeling on the issue of publication of salary data. Options listed for faculty are release of salary list with no restrictions; release without names; continuation of present practice (nonpublication); release of high, low, median and average salaries of each rank in each unit without identifying reCipients;' and no opinion. The committee has also asked faculty t6 indicate the intensity of their feeling on their response: Adamant, very strong, Frederick strong, moderately strong. D. Williams, FAFCC chairman, said that more than 1,100 opinionnaires have been returned so far. Quintet concert is Sunday The Richards Woodwind Quintet will present its first concert of the season at 4 in the Music p.m. Sunday (Nov. 7) Auditorium. The Richards Quintet will perform "Quintet No.2" by Alvin Etler, "Le Tombeau de Couperin" by Maurice RaveL and "Quintet inG Minor" by Franz Danzi. The concert will be open to the public without charge. Members of the group are flutist Alexander Murray, clarinetist Elsa Ludewig, oboist Daniel Stolper, hornist Douglas Campbell and bassoonist Edgar Kirk. Ii.. The change was endorsed by the current faculty members of the committee. USAC advises both the Council and· the vice president for student affairs and worked closely with the latter office. Issues with which the committee has been concerned include Academic Freedom Report amendments, student participation in academic governance, the University's housing policy and the hold card policy. Chairman is Frederick Horne, professor of chemistry. Other standing committees of the Council to be covered later include: * University Curriculum Committee, chaired by Robert F. Banks, acting dean of J ames Madison College. * University Committee on Honors Programs, chaired by Martin C. Hawley, associate professor of chemical engineering. * University International Projects Committee, chaired by Samuel A. Moore III, professor of administration and higher education. * University Library Committee, chaired by Charles Press, professor and chairman of political science. * University Committee on Academic Governance, a new committee whose members are to be appointed by Jan. 1, 1972. * University Committee on Public Safety, also anew committee. * UniverSity Committee on Building, Lands and Planning, Anne C.

D:'~:other: campuses Cornell proposals urge end to 'second-class' role A four-member committee at Cornell University has urged adoption of 11 proposals designed to deliminate the "second - class citizen" reputation held by persons who serve in professional, managerial and other"nonacademic" positions at the university. In a report on Cornell's professional and managerial staff, the committee said that such current terms as "nonprofessorial academic" and "professional nonacademic" have "explicitly negative connotations." Persons in these positions, the report added, "are generally not recognized in (Cornell) University affairs relating to either academic life, student life or ongoing university activities." And it contended that Cornell "has not in a positive manner sufficiently nurtured and utilized the professional and managerial skills of these employes," even though they "are likely to have an institutionalloyalty, while faculty, ,as a group, have come to have a more disciplinary loyalty." The committee urged creation of four categories of professional and managerial personnel: Administrative personnel, executive personnel, supervisory personnel and yrofessional personnel. The first four areas would include those who either "exercise discretion in various areas" or who have two or more persons to supervise. "Professionals" would include nonfaculty persons with expertise in such areas as medicine, law or administration, and creative persons such as poets and artists. Among the report's recommendations are: Creation of "professional freedom" principles similar to "academic freedom" for faculty; adoption of a system for study or research leaves of absence; development of a more systematic approach to evaluation of individual job performance; more effective remuneration and promotion poliCies; representation by profeSSional and managerial employes on the University Senate and standing committees. * * * CAL REGENTS CmTlCIZED.i. Both academic freedom and the right to due process were violated last year when the University of California regents voted not to renew the academic appointment" of Angela Davis at UCLA. That is the charge of a two-man investigating committee of the American Association of University Professors. The committee criticized regents for relieving the UCLA administration of the responsibility for renewing Miss Davis' appointment as acting assistant of philosophy. It said that "substantial efforts must be made to re-establish at the University of California the unquestioned sense of academic freedom that is essen tial to a great university." The team said that criminal charges now pending against Miss Davis were "beyond the purview" of its report. * * * WISCONSIN MER.GER. A bill to merge the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State University system into the University of Wisconsin System has passed that state's legislature. The new system will have one president and one board of regents to govern its 27 campuses. * * * QUOTAS OPPOSED. The Academic Senate at Illinois State University has voted to oppose quotas that would limit the number of students admitted to various areas of study because of restricted manpower needs. As part of its study of the priorities of the university, the senate urged Illinois State to be cognizant of manpower needs and to counsel students accordingly, but it objected to any quota systems that would force students into majors designed to meet current occupational needs. * * * MUSIC COLLECTION RECEIVED. One of the world's most important music collections, the Moldenhauer Archive, is being acquired by Northwestern University. Compiled by Hans Moldenhauer, the collection is in two main sections: Autograph music manuscripts, etters and documents of composers from the 17th to 19th centuries, and the 20th-century collection. Represented are manuscripts of Joseph Haydn, Christoph W. Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, and many others.

Designed largely for expansion of the College of Human Medicine and the School of Nursing, it is a major facility in a developing health which the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Veterinary Me~icine are equally involved. science complex in ' Convocation addresses will be delivered by high-ranking officials of the state and federal governments and the private foundation which helped fund the building. Speakers include Russell G. Mawby, president of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and Kenneth M. Endicott, director of the Bureau of Health Manpower Education, National Institutes of Health (NIH). The audience will also hear from the chairmen of three Michigan legislative committees: Sen. Charles O. Zollar.of the Senate Appropriations Committee; Rep. William R. Copeland of the House Appropriations Committee; and Sen. Garland Lane, chairman of the Joint Committee on Capital Outlay. Endicott, also an assistant surgeon general in the U.S. Public Health Service, has been associated with the NIH over the past 20 years. Before his present -appointment in 1969, he was director of the National Cancer Institute, and had served as scientific director for the NIH Divison of Research Grants. Mawby, an MSU alumnus and former member of the faculty, was named president of the Kellogg Foundation last year. He had been a vice president since 1966, and previously served as director of the division of agriculture. Presiding at the convocation will be President Wharton. The dedication information program includes an reception and tours of the building's varied facilities.

Council votes to eliminate 4.5 grade The Academic Council passed easily on the proposal to eliminate the 4.5 grade from the grading system Tuesday (Nov. 2), but hedged somewhat on a second proposal to eliminate the 0.5 grade. Both proposals came from the University Educational Policies Committee (News-Bulletin, Oct. 21,28, 1971), but while the 4.5 recommendation was unanimous, the 0.5 recommendation passed the committee by only one vote. Chitra Smith, associate professor in J ames Madison College and EPC member, the Council to table the 0.5 urged the Council recommendation until receives a detailed report on the extent, patterns and probable causes of grade-point inflation. Elimination of the 0.5 grade would contribute to that inflation, she said. And she cited..the rapid inflation of MSU's grade-point average at the same time that the overall quality of the student body has not improved in the past few years. Her motion to table was defeated. Willard Warrington, professor in evaluation services and chairman' of the EPC subcommittee which proposed elimination of the 0.5, spoke primarily of "a setting of standards," and not awarding honor points for failure. Others spoke of the "value of positive reinforcement" (this came from a new student member to the Council whose opinions were solicited by President Wharton), and of the lack of a chasm _ Grievance procedures debated. (Concluded from page 1) • • He also said that including part-time faculty into the procedures equally with full-time faculty could jeopardize hiring practices in the future. *** THE EFC HEARD a report from Herbert Jackson, professor of religion and chairman of an ad !lOC committee established by EFC last year to study collective bargaining. The committee's original charge was to gather data and arrange for forums. Tuesday he asked for direction on how to proceed, the EFC voted to allow the and committee to use its discretion in to the council. Alternatives include making a pro or con judgment on collective bargaining, and, if the recommendation is positive, providing further information (pro and con) about the various bodies which are making its report seeking to become the bargaining agent here. Jackson's committee will have a written report before the EFC by Jan. 11, 1972,he said. *** THE EFC ALSO voted to affiliate with the Association of Michigan Collegiate Faculties (News-Bulletin, May l3, 1971), becoming the 14thof15 institutions of Michigan higher education to do so. fow-year The move was accompanied by a motion to establish a committee to consider ways to obtain the $750 dues the EFC would owe with affIliation.

Both recommendations were approved by the Council, however, and will go into effect next term. Student representative Mark Bathrust spoke for graduating seniors in asking when the change would be indicated on transcripts. Ira Polley, assistant provost for admissions and records, indicated that a cover letter could accompany all sent to graduate, law and transcripts medical schools. the The Council also approved a motion from Hendrik Zwarensteyn, professor of business law and office administration, to have the appropriate official communicate the change in the grading system to the Princeton education service. Provost John Cantlon told the Council that a detailed written report on extent of the gradepoint inflation would be made available as soon a s an accompanying report on the situation at other institutions is available. That report is being studied by Assistant Provost John Dietrich. The Council also heard a report on the status of implementing student participation in the Council and the standing committees. Louis Hekhuis, associate dean of students and coordinator for student elections, said that student council members should be elected in two to three weeks and that standing committee representatives should be appOinted by the end of November. His committee is preparing a status report of implementation at the department level. One on the college level was distributed this week. Page 6, MSUNews-Bulletin,Nol. 4,1971 University College's 'enrichment device' A learning facility that opened without fanfare more than three years ago is now attracting more and more notice to its second-floor facilities in Bessey Hall. The University, College Learning Resources Center, which has grown steadily but quietly, now occupies three rooms in Bessey, two of which recently underwent remodeling to provide improved student learning and study areas. Students using one of the learning center's 53 learning carrels can choose from 24 direct lines that go to audio facilities in the MSU Library. They can also make use of audio feeds from the c.enter's main console. Or, as is increasingly the case, they can use the instructional programs facilities for developed by UC facu1ty through the learning center. Instructional programs are varied, notes Dan Preston, director of the UC learning center. In a humanities department effort, for example, faculty have developed slide-tape presentations that include five hours of art study that the regular u sed classroom. to be covered in For an American Thought and Language course, Preston worked with a faculty member to devise a, slide-tape program that helps undergraduates with some of the basics in English grammar. And Preston fondly recalls the case last year of the student user who appeared at the center nearly every morning at 8 a.m. The student set himself up in a ' carrel, plugged his headphone set into a mixture of classics and rock, and proceeded to study. THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Learning Resources Center began as a . "shoestring" operation, but its modest beginning was intended, said -Edward Carlin, dean of the college. "We wanted to avoid the danger of putting lots of dollars into hardware," he said, without having sufficient programs ( software) and users for the equipment. And he acknowledged the risk in proceeding without assurance of faculty acceptance. (Last year, Preston reported, more than 100 faculty members from across the campus used the center.) Designed as an "enrichment device;' for regular UC -courses, the center has recently grown as an aid in the college's remedial offerings. Since Preston became the center's fu11-time director, Carlin said, its use has grown dramatically. MATERIALS AVAILABLE in the cen ter include printed matter, phonograph records, tapes, slides, filmstrips and other aids. And when the center was remodeled this year, it acquired a videotape recoJ;!ier. Both students and faculty can check , out material for study. Last year, Preston said, an estimated 4,700 students used the center more than 21,000 times. Much of the equipment in the center already existed at various, spots in University College; Pres'ton just located it and put it into a central location.

The campus Chest drive, as part of this total effort, will also be extended to this date. As of Nov. 3, MSU pledges and contributions totaled $168,835.09 or 83.6 percent of the university goal of $202,000. John C. Howell, university campaign chairman explains, "We are indebted to the generosity of many faculty and staff and the commendable the efforts of many units within university for having already raised this substantial amount. "However, last year at this time contributions amounted to 94 percent of the university goal." The extension then takes on added importance, Howell adds, in that it provides time for the special effort required to meet thegoal. He notes that during the next week divisional leaders and unit solicitors will be asked to make this special effort.
