Vol. 3, No. 15 Michigan State University Jan. 27, 1972 STATE UNIVERSITY l.IBRARIEs Faculty raises: Senior ranks favored Faculty salary increases for 1971 - 72 are generally higher for those at the senior ranks and for those on 12 - month appointments, according to a report from the provost's office. The report - including 2,418 faculty both on the campus and in off-campus extension - shows that the average raise for all faculty was $1 ,192, or 7.4 percent. The average raise for professors, however, was $1,322 (7.2 percent) for 10 - month appointees, and $1,753 (7.9 percent) for 12-month appointees. Among all ranks, the average increase for 12-month appointees was $1,343 (7.7 percent) and $1,023 for 10 - month faculty (7 percent): . l And inside ... · . An environmental crisis? page 2 · .

That retroactive implementation followed a ruling from . the Cost of Living Council. The accompanying tables detail salary increases by rank and by appointment. It is pointed out in the provost's report that in the second table, compiled under guidelines from the American Association of University Professors, some percentages differ from those in the University's own report. But in the AAUP report, for example, persons who were promoted are shown at their former rather than their new and higher level, and it attempts to include only involved mainly in teaching. those faculty The provost's report also notes that both tables show that guidelines recommended by the faculty affairs and faculty compensation committee - higher increases for faculty at the senior those on 12 - month ranks, for appointments and for those promoted - were followed in distributing raises .

J Keith Groty nallled to new assistant VP position A long recognized need for coordination in personnel policies was fIlled by the Board of Trustees last Friday. By unanimous vote, the Board created a new position - assistant vice president for personnel and employe relations in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Secretary to the Board of Trustees. The the appointment of C. Keith Groty to fill the new position, effective Jan. 1. trustees also approved Changes in the University's personnel poliCies and practices are to be expected, but fIrst there will be a thorough study of the problems, priorities and possible consequences of reorganization, according to Groty. He explains that historically, there have been two channels for handling personnel on campus. Board appointees and graduate assistants are handled through the. provost's office, while classified employes such as administrative professional, clerical - technical, and operational employes are handled through the personnel office. Added to this, student personnel are individual handled through the departments, except in the summer when student employes are handled through the personnel office. Bridging these systems, Groty said, is the Staff Benefits Divisiorl which serves both Board - appointed employes and employes hired under the classified system. A s a result of this diversity, he the emphasized , relations between policies in one division and those in another are not always compatible. "It has resulted in entirely different policies being developed for one group than another ," he said. Groty sees his task as "bringing together and making compatible the different personnel policies for the different catagories of personnel, and, where poliCies are purposely different, to formalize the rationale for such differences. " Since he is filling a new position in the University, however, he does not anticipate making immediate changes. "I t is important," he noted, "that the scope of the responsibilities and the impact of the position be studied and that possible changes be well planned in advance of implementation." * * * ACTING DIRE( TOR of the School of Labor and Industrial Relations prior to his appointment, Groty has been a member of the MSU faculty since 1969. He said that to the extent his new duties permit, he intends to remain active teaching and conducting research in public personnel and employee relations. in He will continue as assistant professor of labor and industrial relations, and of administration and higher education. that he probably will not continue to work as a (Continued on page 4) Groty noted, however, Page 2, MSU News-Bulletin, Jan. 27, 1972 'Practicing what it preaches' Recycle! urges the book. And it practices what it preaches. "Environmental Quality: Now or Never" is the first text in the nation to be published fro m 100 percent recycled paper, says its editor, Charles L. San Clemente, professor of microbiology and public health. The newly published work is itself an ecosystem of ideas. It is a species of conglomerate prose that says that tokenism is the enemy. The American malady of excessive body fat, for example, is often a shortener of lives. "If all of the people in the United States were returned to their ideal weight, the average life - expectancy ... would increase by about seven years," contends W. N. Hubbard of UpJohn, one of the some 40 authors of the book. But, "if all forms of cancer were to be eliminated," he adds, "the average life expectancy would increase for a maximum of three years." And it is such misplaced emphasis that has put this nation into an environmental crisis, say some of the book's other contributors. "We compare our production ot specific material goods ... with that of other countries, and we think our' country is not doing so well if we aren't out - producing almost every country in _the world in most categories." writes Richard J. Hall, an MSU psychologist. . "But do we compare our 'prod.uction' of paintings, novels, philosophies, and scientific theories with that of other countries? ... Do we compare the amount of unspoiled and unpolluted land, air and water that we have with other countries? . IDEAS ON HUMAN V ALUES are recurrent in the book,<-which is an outcome .. ,'. . of a 1970 summer institute held at Kellogg center. , And some flaws in the American system are scored, Robert R. Rice, MSU's acting dean of human ecology, raps a system that "has perpetuated hate among urban people - forcing the have to hate the have - nots and vice versa, while the haves get richer and the have - nots get poorer. Ghetto minorities are being pushed further and further apart from the rest of society. Rice adds:"This system tosses a bone among the Chicanos, Indians, blacks and poor whites and then says 'Go get it!' While these minorities are fighting each other, the system goes on about its business of maintaining the status quo. But these minorities are wiser now. They are beginning to stop fighting each other and are attempting to find a means to an end instead of an end to a means. Black peopie are tired. A change of emphasis is a definite necessity. Equality must come before ecology." THE BOOK BREATHES with conflicting views. One author sees food as a seriously limiting factor; another says agriculture can produce whatever amount of food is necessary for survival. "Although food is the major critical issue of the day, this is not even mentioned, far less analyzed as to our future," writes MSU rood scientist George A. Borgstrom. "This is what is so immensely frightening: To have a whole large disclpline supported by a great section of the intellectual community being. that completely removed from the realities of the day . . . The vital relationship between food and ecology is so badly blurred and befuddled by pollution matters that little time and thinking are devoted to a critical analysis of man's actual survival basis." But S. H. Wittwer, director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, writes: "Contrary to many c0mrnunications of noted authorities, and some respected scientists, the people of ·the earth have more food per capita today than ever before. Recent achieve~entsin agricultural technology have for the first time in history made it possible to feed all the people of the earth." The people need to hear more from university experts, argues Ralph A. MacMullan, director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources: "Many times, as a state administrator, I've wondered why the dickens the people of the University sitting out here in their ivory tower could fail so badly jn relations with the Legislature, or in their ability to influence public policy in reasonable directions. 'Why the devil haven't we heard from the unjversities?' 1 think. 'TIley should stand up and speak out for what's right'." SEVERAL AUTHORS URGE greater cooperation among segments of society. And some are specific in their suggestions. "We should conclude," writes Howard Tanner, natural resources professor, "that the solution to our problesrn of organic wastes ~nd nutrients is not to discharge them into the water where unscheduled, haphazard and detrimental recycling will occur, but cather to retain them in carefully designed biological systems. These systems can be designed to produce valuable plant and anima! growths made up of preferred species, produced on schedule, and yielding substantial dollar values." Just published by the Continuing Education Service, the 320 - page paperback is the brainchild of San Clemente, who edited the text and directed the summer institute. The institute was sponsored by Society for Industrial Microbiology, Michigan State AF;L - CIO, Micltigan Agricultural Experiment Station, and MSU's College of Natural Science, Department of Microbiology and Public Health, Continuing Education Service, and Center for Environmental Quality. - PHILLIP E. MILLER Council to discuss transcripts, general ed Because of the controversial Academic Council censure motion - and Prof. Bob Repas' attempts to get a transcript of the November meeting when the motion was passed - the Academic Council will receive next week a proposed policy on access to transcriptions of the Council meetings. The proposal states that tape recordings of the meetings are to be kept in the exclusive custody of the Secretary of the Faculties and that any member of the academic community desiring access to the tapes may petition the Steering Committee for authorization, which would normally be given only when the petitioner is personally involved in an issue discussed by the Council. , The proposal was developed by Steenng Committee member Thomas Greer, professor of humani ties. Also on the agenda for Tuesday's Academic Council meeting (3: IS p.m. ,in the Con Con Room of the Center for International Programs), are: * Continued discussion of the proposed rules for joint appointments of nontenured faculty (News-Bulletin, Jan. 6). The item, introduced at the January Council meeting, will be further discussed Tuesday, but will not be acted upon until the March meeting. * Election of Academic Council representatives (two faculty and one student) to the special committee on selection of a vice president for student affairs. * DIscussion (for action) on the proposed modifications for general education (News-Bulletin, Oct. 7) * Introduction (for action in March) of the proposed expansion of the Military Education AdVIsory Committee (MEAC). The MEAC now consists of six faculty members outside the departme_nts of military science and aerospace studies; two students appointed by ASMSU; plus the two department chairmen and ~sistant Provost Herman King as ex officio members. In May 1970, when the campus was involved in the controversy of what should happen to ROTC, the Academic Council reaffIrmed that the programs should be continued with academic State of U speech to be Feb. 14 _ President Wharton's State of the University address will be delivered Feb. .14 at a special meeting of the Academic Council, to which the public will be invited. The annual convocation of faculty is usually held as a special Academic Senate 'meeting, but because of the past !:xperience and recent changes in the governance structure, Wharton said he would like to change the' format. Location has not yet been determined, but, Wharton said, "in keeping with the spirit of the new age of majority and the expanded role which the students now play in academic governance, the meeting win be held in one of the residence hall dming rooms." The 30 to 45 - minute speech WIll be fol10wea by an informal reception, to which Academic Council, University community and Board of Trustee members and University officers will be invited. credit. At that time the Council also requested a review by the Educational Policies Committee (EOC) and the University Curriculum Committee (uCC) of the poliCies and curricula covering military education. On the basis of that review, the two committees jomtly nicommend addition of the two department chairmen as voting members of MEAC; addition of one student from each of {he departments as voting members; adaition of one !taison member from EPC and UCC as ex officio members; and selection of a chairman from among the voting members. The chairman has been Herman King.

Wharton said that the "longer-range effects of the reduction will have a far greater impact if such mid-year budget reductions are repeated. ·'This is the second consecutive year in which University funds have been reduced after appropriations had been made. The consequences are particularly acu te in the noninstructional areas which absorb'ed the bulk of the reduction again this year in the form of deferring expenditures for updating and maintaining the University's physical plant. There is a limit on how long this can be done without the eventual cost being far greater t,han what is 'saved.'"

In this case, Willow Run Laboratories are providing speciaIiy equipped aircraft loaded with sophisticated infrared, radar and optical imaging systems. In flights over Michigan, these remote sensing systems will collect data for the faculty and research staff of the two schools. Women set meet today An organizational meeting for women and women's , groups concerned about their status at the University will be held at 3 p.m. today (Jan, 27) in Room 34 of the Union. The meeting has bee.n called by a group of about 50 women who have been meeting for the last two weeks with representatives from the qffice of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP), at EOP's invitation. The original intent was to form an advisory commission to EOP, but the women said they preferred to report directly to the president. At last week's meeting, the women briefly discussed formation of a coalition of wornen's groups and interested individuals. They also discussed conflicting correspondence to and from President Wharton. An ad hoc group of women had met and sent a letter to the President informing him of their preference of working with him rather than EOP. But a letter sent to the Board of Trustees - and read by Trustee Warren Huff at the meeting - did not refer to this preference of the women. Last Friday, the ad hoc group of women received a response from Wharton explaining the discrepancy as a problem in timing of receipt of their letter. According to a spokesman in the president's office, his letter also gave as to why rationale it may be to establish the advisory preferable group with EOP rather than with the presiqent's office~, While Wayne State University and the University of Michigan do have women's commissions advisory to the president, Wharton pointed out that neither institution has an office as functional as our EOP office to handle discrimination. . Wharton said he hoped the issue would not be permitted to "obscure or distort the major goal which I believe we· share : Hnding the best means for to articulate their special women concerns and to offer advisory assistance to the University." About 12 women attended the Thursday night trustee meeting and briefly addressed the Board. A "working paper" from the Alliance to End Sex Discrimination at MSU was distributed to all board members. The women were told that a special hearing will be held in February - probably at a Thursday evening meeting - with a mechanism to be set up so that all women desiring to address the Board may do so. President Wharton said that attempts would be made to allow sufficient time for all to speak, though the women were to asked by Trustee Pat Carrigan coordinate their presentations to avoid duplicating remarks. Series looks at Asia When the war between India and Pakistan was raging several weeks ago, both Subbiah Hannappan and Baljit Singh noticed that more and more of their friends and colleagues were pumping them for information on the conflict. So Kannappan, an economist, and Singh, a political scientist, decided to capitalize on the swell of interest and launch a seminar series to focus on "South Asia and U.S. Foreign Policy. Now, with three weekly seminars two Indian-born completed, the professors have seen attendance grow from an initial turnout of just more than 20 to about 85 last week. The growing interes,t forced them to the seminars from a small move classroom in the International Center to the Con-Con Room, where, at 7:30 tonight; the fourth seminar will be conducted. - Tonight's topic is "The U.S. and India and ,Pakistan," with Singh and Ralph Smuckler, dean of international programs, scheduled to present papers. Both Kannappan and Singh emphasize that faculty time and effort in the series is voluntary. Other program participants so far include William T. Ross, director of the Asian Studies Center (which sponsors the series) anO Albert Levak, professor of social science. At least two students plan to use the symposium as the occasion to develop papers fot course credit, and the final seminar in the series will be devoted to drafting a seminar position paper than can be sen t to Congress and policymakers in Washington, D.C. The India-Pakistan war aroused new U.S. public interest in Southern Asia, Kannappan says, and disclosure of confidential documents by Columnist Jack Anderson has spurred that interest. Kannappan and Singh report that most of those attending the seminars are not faculty, but interesteo townspeople from 'throughout the area. Ana the weekly sessions are not simply exchanges of charges from supporters of each nation in the conflict, but, says Kannappan, "truly intellectual exchanges." Seminars are scheduled for each Thursday through March 2. They being at 7:30 p.m. in the Con Con Room and run for about two hours. Budget cuts are made President Wharton said The University will meet a state-imposed 2 percent reduction in its current appropriations without sacrificing essential educational services. that the the Board of administration told Trustees of contingency plans in September and simultaneously began instituting internal savings to offset the probable reductions. "Accordingly, the University set aside a portion of each original allocation to its academic units and 'froze' expenditures in selected nonacademic the areas pending notification from state of the extent to which reductions would be required. When the reduction was announced by Gov. Milliken, it therefore came as unwelcome but not unexpected news. He added: "We feel that we have managed to absorb the reduction with a minimum of disruption in our instructional, research and service programs because of this contingency planning process. The most obvious short-range curtailments have been the cancellation of many low~nrollment course sections. This will work some hardships on individual students whose academic plans may have been dependent upon taking a specific course a certain term, but it has permitted the Another top safety prize MSU is one of omy four universities in the country to recently receive the highest award given by the National Safety Council for campus safety programs. It marks the fourth time since 1965 that MSU has received the council's Award of Honor. The council operates the annual awards program to give colleges and universities throughout the country the opportunity to evaluate and upgrade theit"safety programs. Richard O. Bernitt, director of public that establishment of a safety, said written safety policy by the .'Board of Ttustees, and the emploYment of several safety specialists have helped make the campus a safer place to work and study. Carl J. Eigenauer, safety engineer, added that there has been a steady increase in participation in safety programs by faculty, staff and students, and that efforts at disseminating safety information have increased in recent years. The three universities honored along the University of with MSU were Kentucky, the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, and the University of California's Davis campus. Minority enrollment up Nearly 1,000 more minority students were enrolled at MSU this fall than were a year ago, according to data collected during fall term registration , The data show that about 3,024 minority students are enrolled, or about 7.2 percent of the total student body. These include approximately 41 A merican Indians, 237 Spanish American, 237 Oriental Americans, and 2,509 blacks. The data is based on voluntary identifcation by students at registration so the figures are approximate and not accurate counts. But considerable effort - including telephone and registration information checks - was made to validate response. Of the 41,649 student enrollment, omy about 500 persons are not accounted for. The data on minority students is collected to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and is sent to the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Information gathered by the Willow Run planes will be augmented by high altitude aerial photography taken by NASA. Researchers expect that the NASA Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS), scheduled for launch later this year, will provide further valuable assistance to their regional projects. William M. Brown, director of the U-M's Willow Run Labs, said that remote sensing will be used for mapping and evaluating 0011, "legetatic.n, gec.\~c features,urban growth, current land use and other factors vital in determining the best use of land. ' At MSU, the effort is coordinated through the Agricultural Experiment Station and involves researchers from fi ve departments and two colleges. Principal investigators are Raymond Vlasin, chairman of the Department of Resource Development, and Myles Boylan, director of the School of Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture. The d r i v e t ,0 est a b lis h the inter-univeristy, inter-agency project was led by Axel L. Andersen, MSU coordinator for remote sensing programs and professor of botany and plant pathology. By applying recently developed technology to the collection and analysis of data on resource 'problems, U-M and MSU scientists hope to help various governmental units curb practices that result in indiscriminate urban sprawl, disappearance of good agricultural and recreational land, water and air pollution, and traffic congestion. Worker dies in accident Byron G. Robson , a farm maintenance worker, died last week (Jan. 19) in a tractor accident at the beef cattle research center. He was 62. Campus police said Mr. Robson's clothing caught in the tractor's control lever, pulling the machine into reverse as he was dismounting. He fell under the tractor. A member of the staff for 15 years, Mr. Robson is survived by his wife; Arlene, three daughters, two sons and nine grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted Saturday. 1 j j j j 1 :J Page 4, MSU News-Bull~t.in, Jan. 27,1972 [The Board recap I Faculty salaries will be 'de-classified' departmental office, with additional copies available for purchase as public documents; It shouldn't be too long before faculty including names - salary information - is as accessible as the Library or the nearest departmental office, or for a small charge.

But it did raise a new concern for him. At least three trustees had expressed support for public access to faculty salaries in October. After that meeting the F AFCC was asked to poll the faculty. Faculty wishes expressed in that poll were not followed, Williams said, but "as far as I'm concerned, the Board had the authority to act. The committee did what it was asked to do." But he is concerned that: "As a result of the Board action, a legitimate question which .ought to be considered by the academic community is this: 'Can we maintain a system of academic governance when a small faction of the faculty operates outside the system and receives the same opportunity to influence final decisions that is accorded to duly established bodies?' " Williams refers to the fact that the salary release policy approved by the trustees is essentially the same as that proposed by the Committee for a Rational Pay Policy, headed by Bob Repas, professor of labor and industrial relations. Repas read a prepared statement to the trustees Friday, as did Williams and Provost John Cantlon. there was no substantive amendment he would have added to Trustee Patricia Carrigan's proposal (\\hich was adopted by the Board). Mrs. Carrigan said her main concern was the public responsibility of the Board and legal implications, the same concerns expressed by Repas. The administratlOn had! proposed a more general release of information, which, Cantlon said, would still afford some privacy individual faculty members. to * * * AFTER READING his statement to the Board, Repas discussed the action of the Academic Council ill which he and Trustee Clair White were censured for their activity in releasing salary information last fall. Repas said he had been unsuccessful in obtaining a transcript of the tape-recorded Council meeting so that he could vindicate his reputation. ., President Wharton explained that the Council's policy was the meetings only to facilitate the work of the· Secretary of the Faculties, who prepares the minutes. tape to A motion from Don Stevens stating that all necessary information be made available to Repas was withdrawn after Cantlon and Milton Muelder, vice president for research development, (both council members) said they thought the Council would vote to do that if requested. And Repas told the Board that if he Repas said after the meeting that had no success, he would be back. Gifts and grants: The thought counts Each month the Board of Trustees accepts several million dollars in gifts, grants and scholarship funds, and the large ones - like last fall's $420,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to support the installation of UHF channel 23 command most of the public attention. But the University needs the smaller contributions too, ones that won't make headlines but nonetheless keep research projects alive. - the monetary contributions that might not make the news. The smallest gift or grant received during the past five months was one for $5 given to the Department of Small Animal Surgery and Medicine by William B. Stores to support research. The same department received separate gifts of $10 and $15 from Robert L. Mahr, one for use in radiology and the other for the purchase of orthopedic instruments. Who, for instance, read about the $10 grant given to the Department of Large Animal Surgery and Medicine by Mrs. Boots Lowther and daughters to support equine research? Probably nobody. What follows then is a populist look at some of the gifts and grants received during the past few months, some of The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, Co. gave the packaging school $266.26 to conduct research in control of damage in distribution. Packaging also received $160.96 from Colonial Products Co. for reSearch on the same problem. Many of the gifts and grants are designated to help cover expenses of various activities and projects. For example, Botany and Plant Pathology received $200 from E.!. du Pont de Nemours & Co . .to help cover the cost for color prints in a bulletin on fruit tree diseases. And the American Oil Co. gave the 4-H Youth Programs $100 to help defray expenses of the 4-H Tractor Operator Contest winner's trip. The gifts and grants - large and small - cover a variety of subject areas. Some include: * A $750 grant from the Michigan Bean Commission to the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition for the testing of colored bean recipes in Midland schools. * A $500 grant from the Modern Language Association of American to Herb ert Bergman, professor of American thought and language, for his work on Walt Whitman. * Forty-four medical textbooks valued at $500 given to the staff physicians at Olin Health Center by Mrs. Lawrence A. Drolett of Lansing. * A $33.75 gift from the J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. to the Department of Campus Park and Planning to increase MSU's collection or rare landscape woody plant materials. * Two separate $500 grants given to the Horticulture Department by the Pickle Packers Internatinal, Inc., to support on-going research on cucumber breeding. Although this list does not begin to exhaust the number and variety of gifts and grants under $1,000, it emphasizes the fact that · without these smaller co n t ributions, many University in research, functions, particularly would be reduced or curtailed. -MIKE MANLEY Finding better opportunities for women \ ,~,,! '~,~, :If~~ Page S, MSU News-Bulletin, Jan. 27, 1912 ''The biggest problem I have with this job is that when I say what I feel should be said, I come out sounding like a hard-line feminist." Gail Morris takes her work seriously. After three weeks in her new position as an assistant director in the Placement Bureau, she is a walking array of programs, projections, problems and probabilities of employment for women. She believes that employment discrimination against women is real. She said a Placement Bureau survey has shown, for example, that females holding bachelor's degrees fromMSU in business and the social sciences earn respectively $1,927 and $1,110 less than the average graduates from those MSU colleges. . "On the national level," Mrs. Morris said, "98 percent of the persons earning $15,000 or more are male." But Mrs. Morris is not one to shout "male chauvinist" at the first provocation. "Many women discriminate against themselves," she said. ''They place more restrictions on location and travel than men do. They're not training for the professions that are in high demand.' And they are not aspiring to the job level that their male counterparts do. "We have found that women · are, for the most part, majoring in the over-supplied, low-demand field s - especially liberal arts, education, and social science," she said. "Many of the recruiters who . come to the campus are in business, industry and government. And I would say that 80 to 90 percent of the students who have scheduled interviews this term have been male." Citing a projection for 1980 given to a U.S. House committee by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Mrs. Morris urged \Vomen to '''train for the fields where the most progress can be made - in demand, in salaries, and in upward mobility. "This report shows that the greatest demand in 1980 is going to be for chemists, counselors. dieticians, dentists, physicians, and physicists," she said. "Women who want jobs need to consider these fields." What recommendations would Mrs. Morris give a job-seeking female college graduate? "First, and most importantly," she said, "she must know herself. She has to formulate a well-defined employment objective and strive to reach it. Employers are not hiring students who .come in and say they'll take anything the company has to offer. "Secondly, she must stop t hinking only in the narrow categories of teaching, social work, and nursing," Mrs. Morris said, "and be willing to consider using these same ~kill s in positions in business, industry, an d government. "There are opportunities there, waiting fOI the tight woman." - PATRICIA GRAUER 'Not a hard -line feminist' The State News: They too practice what they preach While grievance procedures are at an impasse in the Elected Faculty Council, the State News has forged ahead and the developed its own set, using proposed faculty document as a basis. But the State News policy doesn 't stop with grievance procedures. It also incorporates two other issues recently at the forefront of campus debate: Written reasons for dismissal and publishing staff salaries . Since the State News has editorially supported these issues, it's a matter of the proverbial "practice what you preach." The student paper's · grievance document grew out of an incident last fall when a staff member ran for an Academic Council seat and editors thought it would be a conflict of interest. The State News Staff Association, in existence for some time, loosely protested that action, then went on to develop formal bylaws for itself, and the grievance procedure . Led by its representative, Sylvia Smith, who covers the faculty beat and thus followed development and debate of the proposed faculty grievance procedures - the State News document was prepared, hammered out with the . editorial board, and agreed upon - even welcomed - by' both the staff and the board. AMONG PROVISIONS of the is requirement of written procedure Press Club lectures set "Tensions Between the United States and India" is the topic of a key address by India's Ambassador Jha to be heard this week on WKAR - AM. Jha will address Washington's National Press Club in a presentation heard live today at 1 p.m; reasons from the editor - in - chief in cases when staff members are rued, suspended or reduced in pay. A decision to fire, suspend or reduce pay may be appealed by the staff member to a grievance committee of two members from two the editorial board and members from the staff. The grievance committee has final jurisdiction over the matter within the editorial department - thus not precluding appeal to such outside bodies as the Student - Faculty Judiciary or the Anti - Discrimination Judicial Board. Another provision of the State News document is availability of salary ranges, and of salaries by name and job title if staff members agree to such availability. The managing editor polled staff members and so far none has requested that the information be withheld. Availability means just that - and not necessarily mass publication of the information. Another provision states that editors shall inform each new staff member, in writing, of policies concerning conflicts of interest, working conditions, staff responsibilities and job descriptions. THE STAFF TRIED to keep the document as unrestrictive on the editor - in - chief as pOSSible, Miss Smith said, they tried to avoid adversarial as relationships between the editor and staff. A restrictive or overly specific procedure is inappropriate for the State News, she said, since new editors are appOinted each year and the staff has a high turnover rate. A n adversary relationship is the undesirable, she said, because publication of a student newspaper is "a community effort," with students who are classmates and friends on both sides, staff and editorial board. Editor - in - chief John Juel agreed. He said there was a "fine line" between editor and staff status since editors are drav,n from staff members. He also agre".j on the nonadversary aspect ·of the procedures, citing the importance of having a close working relationship. He said he thought the document was "fair in every way ," and "a very good thing." The State News staff is composed completely of students. Six editors are on the editorial board: The editor - in - chief, managing editor, and campus, editorial, city and sports editors. Editors' salaries range from $80 to $90 weekly, and they work from 30 to 50 hours a week. There are about SO "full- time" staff members, working from 15 to 25 hours weekly (and probably more , in some cases), with salaries ranging from $10 weekly for interns to $40 weekly. -BEVERLY TWITCHELL :;\Achi eve ments '~~. ~::. . . .

Page 6, MSU News-Bulletin, Jan. 27, 1972 Sterilization· surgery a new benefit Faculty and staff members who plan to practice population control through surgery will receive an economic incentive from one o( the University's group hospitalization insurers. Effective immediately, the American Plan will expand its benefits to include a surgery schedule for both male and female sterilization. For men, the new benefit means that up to $75 will be paid on a vasectomy; for women , the benefit for 'surgical sterilization will pay up to $240. Before the benefit was added, sterilization operations were covered only if they were medically necessary. ' Announcement of this benefif and a summary of American Plan ~ changes made during the past year were mailed this week to faculty and staff by, the Staff Benefits Division. The new schedule for sterilization surgery could decrease total d:lims paid' by the American Plan. The insurance company would realize a saving, for example, by paying as many as eight or nine separate vasectomies daims, provided the result is the prevention of at least one maternity claim. life insurance is doubled in ' the event of accidental death. Increased American Plan benefits are also based on the company's good claims record with MSU, said Gary Posner, director of staff benefits. Ii! that all policyholders pointed out benefit by trying to keep medical costs down. Further information is available from staff benefits, 353 - 4434. ST AFF BEBEFITS has also announced that physicians' statements will no longer be required for persons who sign up for the American Plan after they have been employed by MSU for 60 days. Previously, a physician's statement of insurability was waived only for those who either enrolled within 60 days of their beginning employment date, or who signed up during an open enrollment period. Also sent out this week were copies of the amendment for all persons in the group life insurance plan. The amendment states that an individual's IN A PAIR of benefit items at last week's Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved a change for Administrative - Professional employes and heard a report on alleged discrimination existing in annuities paid under the TIAA - CREF program. The A - P benefit change provides that an employe with at least five years' continuous full - time service will be eligible for sick leave in case of total disability, as defined in the long - term disability plan. This means that a disabled employe could receive full salary for up to six months. The plan's ' coverage takes effect after six months' disability. Trustee Pat Carrigan at Friday's meeting said that annuities paid to TIAA - <;REF policyholders discriminate against women, because they are based on longer life expectancy for women. She noted that a study of TIAA - CREF is underway at Wayne State University. It was pointed out that for all life insurance, actuarial data is based on women living ,longer than men. President Wharton indicated that the matter would be examined and that officials at Wayne State would be contacted. Check exemptions Faculty and staff who have not yet checked - and adj usted if necessary - their withholding exemptions are urged to do so at the PayroU DiviSion , Room 350 Administration Building. Effective Jan. 16, new Withholding tables will mean a small take - home check for some employes, particularly those who are single (News-Bulletin, Jan. 6). Taxpayers can adjust their withholding by filing anew income tax exemption certificate (W-4 form). Information and the forms are available in the Payroll Division.
