I "",,NT MlCl'UGN'l STAlE u \~.\I£'H5'T'· The IM "game: Finding facilities to meet demands In the past few years, the competition to reserve a basketball or paddleball court in the Men's Intramural building has become as fierce as the action on the courts themselves. Increasing numbers of students, faculty, administrators, and employes are bidding daily for use of the limited facilities, and the predictable result is conflict. The man whose job it is to things running as smoothly as keep possible is Harris F. Beeman, director of intramural athletics at MSU since 1948. Beeman's philosophy in resolving conflicts that do arise over the limited facilities is fairly simple - at least in theory. "Since we are funded by student money and are under the student affairs is to office, our first responsibility students," he said. - "But our job is to serve the faculty and staff the same as students in terms of meeting recreational needs. We conceive of them as equal. A member of th grounds crew snould have the same access to a handball c_ourt as a professor. "But where there is a conflict, we go with the student," he added. Most conflicts occur during Vlinter term when the weather forces most inside. As a result of the people increasing demand, Beeman set up a reservation system several years ago. It allowed prospective players to phone the 1M office at 8 a.m. and reserve a court for basketball, padd)eball, tennis or whatever for the same day. This was fine in theory, but it caused problems. "We found that faculty and staff would assign the job of reserving a court to their secretarial staff. Since students don't have secretaries, it made it almost impossible for to get on the them courts." As a result, the Men's 1M now requires Alan VerPlanck: A change in grade averages. - Photo by Dick Wesley' Preparing not to be a Rhodes Scholar (Note: The news of Alan VerPlanck's selection as a Rhodes Scholar came several weeks ago. This report on his reactions and views is' by VerPlanck's fellow Honors CoHege student and editor, John McKay.) Alan VerPlanck didn't like high school and graduated from Lansing Eastern with a 2.1 grade average . "MSU and Oklahoma State were the only places that would take me," he recalls. " Quite honestly, I came to school because 1 didn't want to be drafted." VerPlanck will leave MSU this spring as a Rhodes Scholar, with a 3.99 average and Phi Beta Kappa honors. He is the fou rth Rhodes Scholar from this institution - the first since it became MSU. "I was really surprised (to get the Rhodes award)," he said. "It's not the kind of thing 1 even thought about as I grew up. Quite a few of these guys grow up preparing to be Rhodes Scholars." VerPlanck thinks that it is harder for someone from a state institution to receive the prestigious scholarship. ''Most recipients come from schools which, if not better in kind are at least (Continued on page 2) a 6 p.m. reservation for using facilities the follOwing day, which Beeman feels is more equitable to all groups. * * * IN AN ATTEMPT to serve more people, a number of internal additions has been made over the past few months. (Continued on page 4) Dean searches still underway Three colleges which now have acting deans may at least have nominations for permanent deans - into the provost by next month. ' The College of Education search and selection committee has aheady submitted a list -of candidates for dean to the provost last November, according to Lee S. Shulman, professor of counseling, personnel services and educational psychology, and chairman of the education search committee. Human Ecology continues to interview candidates and hopes to submit a list to the provost by tb-~ end of January, according to Dorothy Arata, assistant provost for undergraduate education and chairman of that search committee. Nominees for dean of James Madison College are being invited to meet with the students and faculty of that college. Chitra Smith, associate professor in Madison College and chairman of the search committee, said that "if all goes according to plan," those interviews should be completed in one month, and recommendations to the provost "almost should go immediately thereafter." Skinner book joins 'Catalog' on top-sellers' list "The Last Whole Earth Catalog" continues to enjoy brisk sales at local book stores, and B.F. Skinner's controversial "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" is becoJlling more popular with MSU faculty , staff and students. A survey of six local book stores-based mainly on holiday sales-shows both of these books are among the top 10 sellers in three stores. "Whole Earth Catalog" was a top seller in the first News-Bulletin survey (Nov. 4,1971). Six other books are top' sellers at two stores each. Two of them improved their rank over the last survey: "The Exorcist" by William P. Blatty and "Tracy and Hepburn" by Garson Kanin. The other four were also top sellers in the November report: "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" "Future Shock;' "Jonathan livingston Seagull" and "Wheels." "The Test;' written by Walter Adams, was reported as the top seller in one store, but did not make the top 10 in any other store's report. * * * TWO BOOKS which were reported among the top sellers in the local November list didn't make this report: "The Summer of '42" and "Slaughterhouse Five:' Other books moving well in individual store s included: "The 'Greening of America;' "Rabbit Redux ," "Without Marx or Jesus," "Eleanor and "Honor Thy Father," Franklin:' (Continued on page 5) What MSU is reading The Last Whole Earth Catalog, edited by Stewart Brand (3) Beyond Freedom and Dignity, By B.F.

The numbers in parentheses refer to the number of local stores in which each book is among the top 10 sellers. The above survey was made following the Christmas holidays. Stores in the survey include: The MSU Bookstore, the Campus Book Stores, Student Book Store, Paramount News Center (East Lansing), Torn Sawyer's Book Raft. ~~~,'MSO News-Blill~tiii, i~: 13, 1972 On other campuses UW RAISES STIPENDS. Graduate assistant stipends at the University of Wisconsin have been increased $18 for the second semester to compensate for raises in graduate fees. At the new rate, half-time, beginning teaching assistants will receive $444 a month, and experienced TAs will get $461. Research assistants on academic year appointments will be at $349 a month for half-time, and research assistants on an annual basis will receive $319.60. . * * * A SEX COUNSELOR. A full-time sex counselor has been appointed at the Cornell University Health Services. She is Rosalind Kenworthy, a former teacher who has worked with the National Organization for Women. Her duties include counseling students and her job, sh,e says, is "primarily educational about birth control - what's good for the individual, how she can get it, what it costs." * * * STUDENT REGENTS. ' The University of Minnesota Board of Regents has approved the seating of 16 nonvoting students on eight of its committees, excluding the executive committee. The plan will be on a trial basis until the end of the school year. Student body presidents from four of Minnesota's campuses expressed displeasure With the action because it denies student regents the right to vote and because the selection process is with the University Senate committee on committees~ a primarily faculty group. * * * DEFICIT AT OHIO STATE A projected 1971-72 deficit of $1.4 million in its residence hall system has caused Ohio State University to seek ways of cutting costs in housing operations. The deficit is caused by rising costs and lower the latter a result of a decrease in freshman enrollment and the occupancy - granting of waivers to some 1,200 under-21 sophomores who normally would have been required to live on campus. Total occupancy in Ohio State's residence hall system is 10,863 out of a capacity of 11,970. * * * THE 'ENGINEERING ARTS' The College of Engineering at Tufts University has created a curriculum that combines traditional engineering courses and liberal arts disciplines in up to equal proportions. The course will result in an "undesignated" B.S. degree and will, according to Dean Ernest D. Klema, "bring the humanist and the scientists together." He said the curriculum should be "particularly attractive to women." * * * OREGON'S HIRING GOAL. During the 1972-73 academic year, the University of Oregon will try to fill 50 per cent of its faculty and administrative vacancies with women and members of minority groups. MS,U's Rhodes Scholar • • • (Concluded from page 1) better in name - it was not so long ago that this was MAC. But in my opinion undergraduate education is the same everywhere - except in the institutional attitude toward the undergraduate curriculum." "At Michigan the institutional attitude is very bad," he says, "and at Harvard it is archaic. Michigan State is a large University that is still geared toward undergraduates." VerPlanck said this is partly because MSU has the "Avis (we try harder) mind-set." , "It's humbler and more willing to change," he said. "It also _ wants to do something with the old land grant philosophy. This sounds sort of corny - but it's getting to be one of the hottest ideas in education again." , * * * VERPLANCK SAYS mE reason he didn't do well in high school is that he doesn't like compulsive education - "the compulsion should come from inside." Reflecting on the quality of education at MSU, VerPlanck says that "the people are most important." "AI Drake in English, for example, is a good writer and teacher, and he works hard for students. I always thought it was impossible to teach writing, but Drake does an excellent job of it. And (William) Brazill's Intellectual Historyof Europe is the best non-English course I've taken," he added. VerPlanck feels that the term system, combined with the variety of courses offered, makes education at MSU a much more pleasant experience than can be found in smaller colleges or high schools. * * * BUT SIZE has its disadvantages, 'of course. "Even with improvements in student participation," he says "it is hard to know how to effect policy changes on the college level, for example." VerPlanck has been chairman of the undergraduate advisory committee to the Department of English for three years and has held other academic governance positions. '7he Honors College and the ombudsman are two of the best features of this institution, because they're highly visIble reci-tape cutters for undergraduates. "The Honors College is not really an institution - it's just an opportunity. It helped me because I did not have to take the second year of University College courses." * * * LONG AN enthusiastic student of English, VerPlanck is also interested in many other areas, but he nurses a pet prejudice about the social sciences. "I 'don't believe in social science," he said. "It's a fiction created by academicians in order to tell us the obvious in an eloquent way. There are very few instances where psychology can say something that Dostoevski doesn't seem to have said already." Alan VerPlanck, writer, edito.r and short order cook, is probably not a typical Rhodes Scholar. But like tOllQ.er .Mnn~IS - from Su~e _ CourtluStice Byron White to folk singer Kris Kristoferson - he isn't too worrie,d ab10:ut t)¢lgtypical. -JOHN MC KAY Financial Report • 1970~71 lS called a year of austerity In a year marked by economic austerity, MSU managed to: Enhance its reputation for graduate education, according to a national survey; hold its place as the No. 1 choice of Merit Scholars; add its 16th college (osteopathic medicine); conclude the work of a presidential commission on admissions; upgrade opportunities for both minority students and employes. The cost for these and many other activities came to nearly $175 million during 1970-71, according to the University's annual Financial Report. The report shows tMt the general University operating budget came to $92.8 million, of which some $55.8 went for instruction and educational services. Sponsored research, the experiment station and the extension service helped spend $43.2 million. A uxiliary activities, including residence halls, apartments, the Union, the bookstore and athletics required expenditures of $34.8 million. MSU in 1969-70 spent some $168 million. * * * AMONG OTHER ITEMS lOS-page report of 197~71 are: in the * The University's endowment fund balance grew by about $1 million during the past fiscal year, to $10.8 million. * The value of MSU's land, buildings and equipment is $366.5 rnillion, about $10 million higher than a year ago. * It cost $11.6 rnillion to operate and maintain that plant, including $2.7 for coal and $1.8 million for custodial services. * MSU contributed more than $4 million to the TIAA retirement plan, and $1.7 million to the University controlled noncontributory plan. (And the University paid out nearly $100 million in total salaries and wages.) * Of 13 colleges (excluding the three residential colleges), the highest expenditures were-for natural science ($7.66 million), arts and letters ($5.2 million) . and social science ($4.8 million). At the low end were osteopathic medicine ($789,000), WKAR sets new serles • An infornulJ. outlet for local issues and events, :;).usic, and news of current attraction::; is the primary aim of a new daily radio program which began this week on WKAR-AM. WKAR's Steve Jensen hosts the 60-minute program of informal discussions and human interest feature reports, Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. "We are planning to have guests stop in the studios and talk about area issues and ideas," Jensen said "We'd also like to talk about cultural attractions and other news of interesting events in and around Lansing. We want to focus on people talking with people." The program also touches on fi1rn and theatre reviews, consumer information, conversations about new musical releases, and any other topics of local interest. A wide range of music from classical to "pop" rounds out the program. The new music and featUre program is part of WKAR's focus on the community, and the station is interested in suggestions; human ecology ($1.04 :million) and communication arts ($1.3 inillion). * By comparison. expenditures for the Center for Urban Mfairs came to $1.3 million, and general administration expenditures (including the president's office, provost, secretary, University attorney, University relations) totaled $1.2 inillion. * Total horary expenditures came to $2.8 million. * Supplies and services for members of the Board of Trustees totaled $45,557. * The athletic department had revenues of $2 million ($1 million from football), but finished the fiscal year with a $15,000 deficit. '* The State News ended the fiscal year with a balance of $305,000. * The Union Building operated at a loss ($75,000), as did the MSU Bookstore ($26,500) and Kellogg Center ($193,800). Operating surpluses were reported by the Crossroads Cafeteria ($3,000), parking and transportatiori ($234,800), and both the large and small animal cliniCs. - * MSU received nearly $6,000 royalties during the fISCal year, ranging from $65 for business services to $1,700 for a cucumber picker developed by agricultural engineers and horticultural scientists. * * * THE REPORT cites the past year as one in which changes brought more student participation to academic governance, more classroom emphasis on social problems, some major research developments (including demonstration of the anticancer effects of platinum), and more service through cooperative extension and continuing education. And it outlines a future in which austerity will remain a fact of life. "Too often," the report states, "educators seem to view this as an unfairly penurious trend after a long period of relative affiuence. They fail to appreciate the severity of the general economic situation or, even more ~riously , the growing cracks in education's edifice of respectability. "Therefore, rather than bemoan what might be perceived as the shortsightedness of legislators and taxpayers, our job in education is to provide more quality for each dollar that we receive." - -GENE RIETFORS Communication talks to begin "Human Communication: International and Cross-Cultural Implications" is the theme of a new lecture series sponsored jointly by the College of Communications Arts and its Alumni Association. All lectures are open to the public and will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Room 116 of the Natural Science Building. On Monday, (han. 17), Joseph L.

"Instead, the educated person is held • t , About 50 women met last week and rejected the idea of an advisory commission to Equal Opportunity Programs on the status of women. They instead want an advisory council to the president - where the power lies, they said. They also decided that they did not want a presidentially - appointed commission. And those were the only two major agreed-upon matters at the meeting. The meeting was called by the EOP office and the women included faculty, students (both graduate and undergraduate) administrative - professionals and clerical - technical personnel, but no one from the labor payroll The Alliance to End Sex Discrimination was there, as were representatives from other women's groups and individuals. Also attending were Trustee Patricia Carrigan; ,Mary Sharp, assistant EOP director; Rita Zemach, assistant professor in engineering arid chairman of the Committee Against Discrimination; and Olga Dominguez, EOP staff member assigned to the area of sex discrimination. Carrigan suggested early that the women needed to decide what role a committee or council or commission would play and how effective that role could be. But from that pOint, discussion - or debate - showed little agreement on what should come fust: The committee, the committee's objectives, or a proposal for both. And concern was expressed on the concept of representation - by level within the University community, women outside the UniverSity community (who might like to be inside, one woman suggested), and by race. And whenever representation is confumed, there is the problem of selection. One A-P said she did not want to be chosen to an advisory council by the A-P Association which is, she said, made up primarily of men who have higher salaries than she. The group did vote to establish a smaller group of women to investigate the means of effecting a presidential adviSOry council on the status of women here . That group of volunteers - representing student, faculty and employe levels - met Tuesday and drafted a letter to President Wharton. A meeting of the larger group - again, all interested women - has been called for Wednesday (Jan. 19) at 3 p.m. in 401 Administration Building. Copies of the women's alliance proposal on "an advisory group are to be distributed to all women who attended last week's meeting.' Any other interested persons can obtain copies from the EOP office. New teaching is criticized Robert Ebel, professor of education, and president of the American Educational Research Association, says that the public is being misled into thinking that radical revision will bring radical improvements in education. ''We are .told," Ebel says, " that it is no longer reasonable to expect an educa~~~ . has developed the skills necessary to handle information productively in order to solve problems, to adapt to changing circumstances and to meet unexpected challenges." E~el emphasizes, however, that knowledge - of things and concepts, of facts and generalizations · and of relations and processes - is the basis of human intelligence. A student cannot use an intellectual skill on something he knows nothing about. The teacher's role is to guide and assist students in their efforts to tum information into knowledge, and the teacher must also try to make these efforts seem worthwhile to the students. In this kind of teaching, Ebel explains, there is little rote learning. Instead, there is concern for factual knowledge, for accurate specific facts - and a concern for understanding. Ebel condemns the new teaching methods, explaining that "there is a self-serving reason why some educators disparage the teaching of kn(!wledge. It relieves them of responsibility for providing concrete evidence that their pupils are learning anything of value. Thomas King dies Thomas H. King, 76, former MSU dean of students, died Jan. 4 in Louisville, Ky. He had been hospitalized since suffering a heart attack eight weeks ago. A member of the faculty since 1933, King was dean of students from 1950 to 1961. He first joined the University as a football end coach. In 1941 he was named head of the school of police admiitistration and professor of law, and in 1945 was appointed counselor for men. He also served as director of placement, 1942-50; director of the personnel office, 1944-48, and director of alumni relations, 1948-50. Following his retirement in 1961, King returned to serve the UniverSity as head of the Ryukyus Project, 1963-64, and then as a' consultant and associate director for special projects in the alumni office, 1964-66. Prior to joining MSU, King served as coach and athletic director at the University of Louisville, and was also assistant manager of the Traveler's Insurance Co. He is survived by his wife and a son. Memorial contributions may be made to the scholarship fund atthe University of Louisville. Pond series nearly ready Construction of a $220,000 Experimental Pond Facility at the Kellogg Biolo~cal Station is nearing completion. Made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation, it holds promise of being the site of one of the most intensive ecological studies of aqautic life ever undertaken. Eighteen ponds on 40 acres of land will be the "test tubes" of the ecologists. Each pond is 100 feet in . diameter and 7 feet deep. A well, capable of delivering 500 gallons per minute, will supply water to a reservoir. A network of concrete pipes and valves will fill and empty individual ponds. The facility could become a national research site where aquatic scientists from other laboratories can work together on problems of the freshwater environment. One of the fust experiments at , the facility will be an investigation of the influence of aquatic plants on how fish feed. The ponds also have capabilities for watershed management studies by diverting agricultural run-off into the ponds to study the impact of the run-off upon freshwater systems. Finding trees for highways Urban and suburban Detroit areas ' have been chosen as initial sites for research in improving the environment along Michigan highways. The project on highway tree ecology was proposed by MSU scientists and f u n ded through a grant from the Legislature to the Agricultural Experiment Station. Little action in the Council The Academic Council Tuesday: *Heard a progress report on the faculty affairs and faculty compensation committee's work on salary schedules. Committee Chairman Frederick Williams, professor of history, ~i~~d questions the committee is considering, and asked for reactions from all members of the University community either in writing or at a hearings planned for the near future. Williams called for the "cooperation and best thinking of everybody. " *Heard a report on affumative action goals and implementation procedures from Vice President for University Relations Robert Perrin. Perrin discussed the purpose and background to MSU's Mfumative Action Plan, explaining that the total number of faculty is expected to remain stable, so the economic brunt of hiring women and minorities should fall on the projected vacancies. * .

Beaumont's medical classic "Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion" published in 1833 was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William D. Cheney of the class of 1941. While serving as a post surgeon on Mackinac Island in 1822, Beaumont was called to treat a 19-year-old youth, Alexis S1. Martin, for a gunshot wound which had torn open his stomach. Although St. Martin recovered his health and strength, all efforts to close the wound failed. The observations and experiments which Beaumont performed with St. Martin brought 11 years of research which completely revolutionized what was known about the digestive system. The second book, a first edition of Louis Pasteur's "Etudes sur Ie vin" ("Studies on Wine") published in 1866, was a gift of Walter L. Mallmann, professor emeritus of microbiology and public health. The book relates Pasteur's study of the diseases of wine and their causes, and new procedures to preserve and age wine. Pasteur was the fust to recognize that bad fermentations are the result of contaminating microorganisms or improper ' environment for the right organisms. the University Curriculum Committee which included changes in the baccalaureate program in American Studies, new courses in seven colleges; and modifications in courses in 10 colleges. *Were told that residential colleges will be grouped together as one small college for purpo"Ses of selecting winners of the Distinguished faculty Award.

Page 4, MSU News-Bulletin, Jan. 13, 1972 Discrimination charges are under review The Anti-Discrimination Judicial Board (ADJB) will meet Monday (Jan. 17) to set a hearing date for the case of an art professor (Margaret Yuill) who charges salary discrimination on the basis of her sex. The Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) has investigated the case for nine months and mediation and conciliation have failed. This will be the first case to reach the hearing stage before the ADJB since it was set up in February 1970. Other cases brought to EOP are in various stages of review. The Lansing branch of the American Civil Liberties Union has requested an investigation into hiring, and other practices and programs of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Cooperative Extension Service. The request follows complaints by SQI de Aztlan, Inc., a Chicano organization. EOP director, Joseph McMillan, said this case Will be discussed by the Committee Against Discrimination (CAD) at its January meeting, at which time EOP preliminary investigation fmdings will be reported. Several complaints in five general areas were presented to EOP by the Alliance to End Sex Discrimination. The status of these, according to McMillan and EOP Assistant Director Mary Sharp, are: COMPLAINT STATUS - President's Office: No women True; a question of job vacancy. administrators. 2 - Provost's Office A - No women at level of Student Admissions Office and Counselor. - B Pay differential between women home economists and men who are county extension agents C - Several academic departments allegedly discrimina'te in promotions, appointments or in salaries; these include the departments of psychology, labor and industrial relations, education, journalism, sta tis tic sand probablity, social science and the University College. Again a question of job vacancy; investigation continues. Awaiting investigation. EOP is making a salary study and will contact this month those departments where discrepancies are apparent. Family planning clinic to open at health center The Tri-County Family Planning Project (TCFPP) will open a satellite clinic on the campus Wednesday (Jan. 19) to aid married student families and other low - income persons in the East Lansing area. The clinic will be open Wednesday evenings on an appointment - only basis. Located in Olin Health Center, it will be staffed by private practitioners and health center doctors during their off - duty hours. Services of the new clinic are financed by county and federal funds through the Tri-County Family Planning Project. "The University is making its facilities available as a public service," said James S. Feurig, director of the health center. "However, the clinic itself is administra tively and financially a function of Tri-County Family Planning Project." Appointments at any of the project's five clinics may be made by calling the TCFPP office (372-9212). In addition to providing birth control information and devices, the clinic will be involved in cancer screening, veneral disease detection, nutrition counseling, and social services. Planning and organizing the clinic was done by Thomas H. Kirschbaum, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, in collaboration with Charles H. Wolfert, director of the TCFPP; Gordon D. Daugharty, a Lansing private practitioner and medical director for the clinics; and Feurig. COMPLAINT STATUS 3 - Executive vice president's office A - No women interviewers in personnel office; women who apply are allegedly offered only secretarial insufficient positions; there advertising for openings on campus; and leave of absence return form requires a physical following maternity leave while maternity leave is not covered by payment of sickness benefits. is B - Alumni office and the alumni magazine are too highly male-oriented. The personnel department denies that only secretarial positions are offered to women. So, Sharp says, "it is a question of where we go from here;" there is again the question of job vacancies; advertising is minimal because of the job freeze; and EOP is drawing up a new maternity leave proposal which is now being discussed by the Executive Group (University administrators). The alumni office has been appraised of the complaint, Sharp said. McMillan said the allegation has been investigated and is true, but "what will be done is another thing." C - No women officers in the public safety department, and crass remarks made ' to coeds who complain of assaults. Officers say crass remarks are not made to coeds; again a question of job vacancy and action the unit decides to take. 4- Vice president for business and finance office: No women head janitors; maids and janitors perform similar work but have different pay rates. 5 - Vice president for University relations The ADJB has an individual case which is, Sharp said, being "pursued with vigor". Earlier investigations leading to a "visit" with the unit were followed by the appointment of three women to higher custodial classifications than had been held by women here before. A - EOP telephone number should be listed under "discrimination." This will be done published directory. in the next B - CAD and ADJB should disseminate more information about their work. C - An EOP representativl;) should attend the meetings of the Alliance to End Sex Discrimination D W o rn e n administrative - professionals in Information Services are discriminated against in salary and rank. News (published) about the two bodies has increased as the news value has increased, Sharp said, and a number of stories has appeared in both the News-Bulletin and the State News. EOP instead attempted to form an advisory council to EOP on the status of women (see related story, page 3). Vice Pre sident Robert Perrin is examining this, Sharp said. Family swim offered Family swim at the Women's 1M pool is held on Sundays from 5 to 7:50 p.m. :hildren must be at least 53 inches tall Jr able to swim two widths of the pool, and children must be accompanied in the water by at least one parent. Matching 1M facilities to demands • • • (Concluded from page 1) The dirt 1M arena is now the turf 1M arena following installation of artificial surface. It now contains five new basketball hoops and two tennis courts. It cost an estimated $40,000 to install the new surface and accessories, but Beeman feels that in terms of increased usage, it has almost_ paid for itself. In addition, 13 new baskets have been set up in Jenison Fieldhouse, also recently surfaced with artificial turf. Those new baskets should decrease some of the demand from the courts in the three gyms at the Men's 1M. But problems concerning the paddleball and handball courts are still present. Beeman estimates that it will take at least 24 new courts to meet the increasing demand, according to current reservation requests. * * * THE ONLY WAY to relieve pressure, according to Beeman, is to construct a new intramural building. Although tentative plans for the building are sitting on Beeman's desk and land is being held in east complex, funds are not available. Until they are, Beeman must continue his role as an administrative juggler between mass needs (basketball) and individual needs (tennis), between students and faculty, students and staff, and so on. In 1971, an estimated 750,000 people used the facilities at the Men's Intramural BUilding. Although complaints are inevitable when that many people are competing for limited facilities, oeeman indicates most faculty and staff members say the $20 a year for locker and towel is a good deal. Those compliments, plus the vision of 24 new paddleball courts, make the complaints easier to take. - Photo by !lIo.b !BIOwn thi5 - MIKE MANLEY The 1M facility: Sometimes the competition is in getting to use it. '~5, . MSU NeWSo;Bulletm, Jan. tJ;,ll'Jn2 BULLETIN BOAROS Things to buy, sell, see, hear or learn From bagels to Berkeley to boa constrictors - MSU's bulletin boards offer all. A random stroll through 10 north campus academic buildings shows a the we alth of variety t1i~re for peeking, although more than anything else our University's bulletin boards advertise the graduate programs of other universities. And less than anything are safety notices, like the emergency police telephone number and tornado disaster procedures. But for the shopper, seeker or browser, whether academic, social, athletic or hungry, almost anything can be found on bulletin boards to buy, exchange, sell, recruit, give, compete, join. Tutoring, travel and an introduction to the Toast master's Club are there. One can, according to the notices, fmd a roommate, sell skis, seek a scholarship, discover Europe. Or take a new course, join a movement, find a party or a summer job, read poetry, get a paper typed. Read meeting mimites, find a conference or seminar, subscribe to magazines, buy a poster. Find a candidate, buy a guitar, waterbed, car, mobile home, or a chinchilla (completely odorless, according to _ the notice). Find out what's happening at Sparrow Hospital or where to reach one's lawmakers, find a babysitter Qr the next concert, be informed of new books out in one's field, buy a quarterhorse, have a horoscope done, get a free cream hamster. Spend a year in France, buy camping equipment, see historic newspapers, give money to a cause. View art prints, chuckl~ over a cartoon. Read the Declaration of Independence, give blood, find a church, get pregnancy counseling ... 'but not for profit Note: Two University ordinances pertain to bulletin boards. Ordinance 31.00 - Signs - states that advertising is not allowed except on bulletin boards; and Ordinance 30.0 - Selling and Advertising - states that no person or firm may sell or advertise goods within MSU's boundaries, and that no person may display, except on his personal property, signs or posters which advertise a commercial product, service or activity . -BEVERLY TWITCHELL The standing committees listed Following is a list of the faculty members of seven University standing committees, as of Jan. 1.

The 177 photographs were assembled exclusively for MSU by Roger Funk, acting chairman of art, and represent the work of nine photographers from eight midwestern universities. that "all Funk sees the significance of the exhibit in the fact the photographers are educators from midwestern universities." The exlu"bit has a special importance for MSU, he said, because of the recently initiated degree program that allows art students to take a major area emphasis in photography. The photographs cover a wide range of subjects and moods. They range from the richly detailed black and white scenes of Middle America of Phil Davis from the University of Michigan, and the unmistakably 'midwestern rural and industrial scenes of Art Sinsabaugh, University of lllinois, to the intricate curved lines of color of Henry H. Smith, Indiana University, and the silkscreens of Doug Stewart, Northern lllinois University. The other photographers focus on the human IJgUres in everything from the simple nudes to body landscapes, to super-imposed images in bizarre setting and surrealistic effects. The exhibit reflects a variety of individual approaches to photography. Some photos express intensely personal views of the world. Others are eloquent yet understated. Still others aim at making a commentary or expressing a social statement. The exhibit will run until Jan. 30. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m., Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9, and 2 to 5 p.m. oil Saturdays and Sundays. - DARIA SCHLEGA Looking for a hotel room?
