Currently the bylaws (5.4.9.2) state that the committee "shall examine and evaluate policies within the service functions and business office, exclusive of allocation of fmancial resources, that bear directly on the academic and research aspects of the University." The amendment would eliminate the financial clause, "exclusive of resources." Committee chairman Robert W. Little, associate professor of metallurgy, mechanics and materials science, said the exclusion as now written in the bylaws "places a major constraint on the committee." 1M C mobilizes latest techniques to help solve teaching. problems By MIKE BORN Associate Editor, News Bureau In recent years, there has been growing discussion about the ".knowledge industry." In the wake of important strides in educational technology, educators have become more and more interested in developing programs which utilize the best techniques available to achieve a single goal - helping students to learn. At MSU, this effort is enhanced by the Instructional Media Center (IMC), a part of ' Instructional Development Services which report to the provost. "PrOViding expertise and backup for solving instructional problems is why we're here," explains IMC Director Charles F. Schuller. "Our activities have taken media out of the 'Band Aid' era a~d placed them where they belong - at the center of the instructional process." All key IMC personnel teach and hold faculty rank in the College of Education and/or the College of Communication Arts. Last year, fMC provided instructional staff for 40 courses enrolling 1,211 students, four federally funded institutes enrolling 90 students. There are now 133 graduate majors enrolled instructional development and technology. including in * * * The use of instructional media at MSU plays an important role in educational innovations.

The scientists use two old tests of matter.

Rainey, associate professor of business law. Rainey, also assistant dean in the College of Business, is one of seven faculty serving on the JUdiciary. He said the statement is aimed at faculty as wen as at students. because "many faculty don't realize that there is a specific process available other than a failing grade in cases of academic dishonesty." that Rainey expressed hope the sent to all deans and statement - department heads, and to administratiye officers - will increase awareness of the problem and lead to solution of it. In the statement, the Judiciary reports increasing number of receiving "an referrals for academic dishonesty." "We are both alarmed and concerned with the apparent widespread nature of the problem," the statement says. * * * Several examples of violations are listed: "falsification of such records as applications admission and identification cards, one student taking for an examination for another, one student copying work from another, the use of signal systems by two or more students during an examination, and the use of 'crib' sheets during an examil).ation." The that following statement also says, "It is apparent that many students have the false the impression implementation of the Academic Freedom Report, whereby students are involved in the resolution Of disciplinary cases, suspension from the UniverSity can no longer result. "This is not the case." Rainey said that it would be difficult to compare present and past incidences of reported academic dishonesty, since the current machinery for dealing with the problem is only two years old. Other faculty members of the Judiciary are Vera Borosage, assistant professor of family and child sciences; Marjorie Gesner, associate professor of history; Lawrence Sarbaugh, associate professor 'of communication; Stuart D. Sleight, professor of pathology; Harry K. Stevens, assistant professor, natural science ; and Lewis K. Zerby, professor of philosophy. The chairman is a student, Betty Julian.

Campus chairman Armand L. Hunter admitted that late returns probably will bring in some additional funds, but he was concerned that they may not be enough to put MSU over the top. "If we -don 't reach our quota, this will mark the first time in many years that the University did not meet its commitment to the Community Chest," he stated. Hunter congratulated the division leaders and solicitors who worked on the campaign, and asked that they "leave the door open" fo r additional contributions. The final tally showed that 11 divisions had reached their quotas: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Business, Communication Arts, Home Economics, Lyman Briggs, Continuing Education, Dormitories and Food Services, Secretary's Office, University Business Office, University Relations , and Vice President for Special Projects.

Physics team at Argonne . .. (continued from page 1) high-energy physicists must travel to Argonne or other national laboratories. At Argonne they use two approaches. One is to smash atomic particles - a proton and an antiproton (antimatter) together and then study for instance - the fragments that scatter at impact. That method. is the non-elastic scattering Ordinarily, a target of matter is blasted with a beam of matter from the ZGS. Next, the physicists measure the angles of collision, determine the momentum and identify- the fragments that fly from the impact. Elastic scattering , on the other hand, occurs when atomic particles simply bounce off one another with apparently perfect elasticity. The trick is to jolt them together as mightily as is possible without breaking them_ Unlike billiard balls, penetrate one another before bounce apart. Thus, the particles they the particles resulting from elastic-scattering act somewhat as rubber balls at impact, yet have near-perfect elasticity. The group headed by Smith gathers information about non-elastic collisions by use of a bubble chamber at Argonne. They process their information on the campus. The spark chamber group headed by Abotins has begun a spark-gap experiment to detect and analyze elastic collisions. Similar research is done by other the MSU cyclotron" physicists on although involve their experiments firing much lower energy beams of protons at nuclei. The intent at the cyclotron is to determine properties of atomic nuclei. The MSU experiments at Argonne constitute just one example of many studies underway by scientists from some 30 midwestern universities in cooperation with the national laboratory. The group is known as the Argonne Universities Association. Providing audio and visual services: Vern Canedy inspects an IMC film . Use of media helps Johnston develop physiology 'prep lab' It used to be that if a physiology student wanted to see how to operate on a dog's throat, he had to peek through a crowd and watch a professor demonstrate the desired technique. Now students in advanced mammalian physiology at MSU are ready to do their they get to the experiments before laboratory, thanks to help from the Instructional Media Center (lMC). The " prep lab" saves laboratory time once taken up with 30 to 90 minutes of to conduct an explaining how experiment. Students now learn at their own pace, before a lab experiment, through the use of media techniques. Director of Laboratories Raymond F. Johnston recalls that a few years ago "there was discussion of dropping the labs from physiology." to the improve "I asked to let me see what could be done says Johnston, an associate professor of physiology . "I believe labs are still the best way of teaching students in the sciences. " labs," In 1965, Johnston worked with Nicholas J. Fiel, then assistant director of the prep labs and now director of MSU's Medical Media Center. They decided to use filmed experiments. This to MSU's led interest finally Educational Development Program (EDP) and IMC. them The "prep labs" became one of EDP's early experiences in innovations at the University. The project involved Johnston, Fiel, Robert Davis of the Raymond Johnston: "I love to teach." MSU Learning Service and Horace Hartsell, formerly with IMC.

MSU Faculty News, Nov. 18,1969 Proposed law college would require more facilities Today's fifth and final portion of the Proposal for the Establishment of a College of Law at MSU deals with three major needs of such a college: the library, space and facilities, and the students. New construction is proposed to house the college. The complete proposal, printed by sections in the Faculty News, suggests a 1972 opening for a law school here * * * B. THE LIBRARY. To establish a College of Law at Michigan State, it would be necessary to build collections the in all accrediting agencies. the categories listed by the category of The University Library presently holds about 25,000 volumes which fall into library resources. These have been developed for general reference, Ilolitical science, business law, and other social science programs. law Th'e minimum for required the American Bar accreditation by Association is 20,000 volumes "carefully selected to assure adequate coverage of materials essential to its teaching and research programs." The Association of American Law Schools recommends a collection of 60,000 volumes before accreditation. The law libraries of institutions included in the Big Ten range from 100,000 to 340,000 volumes, and average 169,000 volumes. * * * It is estimated that to build up the present collection to serve the purposes of a law school, the University would need $250,000 first year and the $125,000 the next year. From then on, the expenditures for materials could level off at $75 ,000 per year based on 1969 costs. In order to acquire and process the materials during the first two years, the library would need to assign one head librarian, six assistant (professional) librarians and nine clerical-technical persons that, approximately the same number would to supply the services be necessary needed to maintain the library and serve the students and faculty. In addition, task. After the to Japanese group to perform Japan's leading orchestra, the NHK. Symphony, will be presented under Series "B" of MSU's Lecture-Concert Series at 8:15 p.m. next Monday. This is the first extensive U.S. concert tour of the group which has won ' acclaim in England, France, Switzerland and the U.S.S.R. Under the baton of Hiroyuki Iwaki, music director and conductor, the NHK. Symphony will perform "Bugaku" by Toshiro Mayuzumi, "Concerto No. I for Piano and Orchestra in E Minor" by Chapin, and Brahms' "Symphony No. I in C Minor, Opus 68."

Two fdms on Borges will be sltown today - at 3 p.m. in 104 B Wells and at 7:30 p.m. in the Con-Con Room. about 2 per cent of the cost of library resources would be needed for supplies 'and services. The library staff should be recruited immediateiy upon approval of this proposal in order for the University to be able to acquire, process, and organize the basic collection by the time the first class is enrolled. * * * C. SPACE AND FACILITiES. It is estimated that a law school, by the time it has admitted three classes, will need a minimum of 60,000 square feet of space, about half of which should be devoted to the library. The University has no academic space presently available and has already committed any space available in the near future to other purposes. Two alternative plans for housing the College of Law, both involving new construction, are the'refore proposed. Plan I is the construction and furnishing of an all-new facility designed especially for the needs of a College of Law at the cost of approximately $2,625,000. Plari II is the new construction of space for a library only, attached to or in the proximity of residence hall space which would be renovated for use as classrooms and offices. The cost of new construction would be $1,260,000, the cost Of renovation, $120,000, and the rental costs (for retiring indebtedness) approximately $54,000 per year. No convertible space now available in residence halls meets ' the construction requirements to bear the weight of library stacks. These plans compare favorably with other building programs iri progress. The University of Notre Dame rece.ntly announced plans for a $3.5 million building to house the law school which is envisioned to be "a center for legal education and a hub for expanded research in the critical legal problems of the time." * * * D. STUDENTS. 1. SIZE OF THE STUDENT BODY. The budget for faculty and other personnel is based on a flIst year class of at least 7S students and on a minimum TOTAL enrollment of about 220 when the flIst three classes have been admitted. (See Table 9) With accreditation the College would likely grow to about 400 by 1980. To accommodate the additional students faculty would need to be added at the ratio of about 1:20; the library could serve this number with the expenditures for growth and improvement continuing at about the rate indicated in these space, if provided by all·new plans; construction would be adequate, but if provided by rental of dormitory space would have to be increased to provide additional classrooms and offices. 2. ADMISSIONS. Standards for admission would be determined by the core of staff members responsible for planning the College. The commitments of the University (listed on page 2) require admissions the for accreditation and required standards direct the efforts of the admissions counselor towaJ;d both the screening of candidates qualified for immediate admission and the seeking out for counseling others who might later be candidates for admission. to meet 3. FEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS. Fees would confonn to those set for the University, but if the 'commitments of the University to this program are to be met, scholarship or fellowship money must be made available. It is estimated,on the basis of experience in other graduate programs, that up to one·third of the students need some Imancial aid. In the IlIst years of operation" scholarship money would need to be provided from the General Fund; hopefully, some private scholarship money would become available in later years. 4. STUDENT LOAD. It is expected that most of the students would be full·time students expecting the degree to complete three years. Part-time requirements students would be expected to carry a load required by accreditation standards, which do not preclude a combination of work and study. in Faculty honors, projects Lazer, William of marketing, is the author of an article in ' the Journal of Marketing. professor Albert P.
