EPC:  'No  consensus' 
on . proposed college 

The  A.cademic  Council  Tuesday 
voted  to  accept  the  conclusions  of the 
University  Educational  Policies 
Committee  (EPC} regarding  its study of 
the  proposed  College  of  Urban 
Development and Social Change. 

The  Council  further  asked  the  EPC 
to  recommend  the  "most  effective 
organizational  structure"  to  implement 
the  University's  strengthened  and 
broadened  commitment  to  solving' 
urban problems. 

Approval  came  after  long debate,  at 
which  ' time  the  Council  members 
e x: pre s sed  co n c ern,  0  v e r 
t he 
emotioiialism  of  the  issue  and  alleged 
lack; 'of impartiality.  But  a  motion  to 
establish  a separate group to take on the 
EPC's  imfmished  charge  was  defeated. 
"The  Council's  action  authorizes  the 

EPC'to  go  beyond its original charge  -
which , was  to  evaluate  the  college 

proposal  from  the  Center  for  Urban 
Affairs.  EPC  Chairman  Lester 
Manderscheid,  professor  of agricultural 
economics,  told  the  Council  that  in 
evaluating the  proposal,  ,the committee 
looked  at  broad  educational  policies 
involved:  The  proposed  college's 
mission,  validity, possible duplication of 
existing  programs,  and  financial 
implications. 

Manderscheid  said  that  because  of 
the  complex issues involved and because 
evidence  obtained  by  the  EPC  is  at 
times  either  "scanty or contraqictory," 
the  committee  needs  to look  at a range 
of alternatives  to  the  college,  as  well  as 
at  the  college, and to study implications 
of each. 

The  EPC  was 

then  directed  to 
present 
its  recommendation  to  the 
provost  and  to  the  Council  as  soon  as

Not only leashed, 
but someone  on 
the  other end 

It  is  now  illegal  to  bring  an  unleashed  pet  onto the MSu  campus,  or to 
bring  any  animal  into  any  University  building  or  onto  a  Uruversity  bus, 
according to the pet ordmance approved by the Board of Trustees Feb. 25. 

Not only  must the  animal  be leashed ,  but there  must  be a person  holding 

onto the other end of the leash, the ordinance states. 

Animals  are  also  not  to be brought into such  areas  as  the Beal Botanical 
Gardens  or  the Horticulture Gardens when such areas are  posted  to prohibit 
the presence of animals. 

Exceptions  to  the  ordinance  include  seeing  - eye  dogs  for  the  blind, 
animals  being  brought  to  the  veterinary  facilities fer  treatrnen t  or research, 
animals  bemg transported and remaining inside such vehicles as  cars, trucks or 
trailers,  and  animals  being  brought  to  events  sponsored  by  de partments  or 
iegist~red student org2Jli?lIUons. 

The ordinance, developed l>y  the  Oniversity Committee f}n  Building, Lands 
and .Planning and  approved 'by.  tbe Academic Counci11ast fall, is the result of 
complaints  from  faculty,  staff  and  students,  about  cJearung  problems  and 
injuries (ie. dog bites).

22 named to lifelong  education task force 

Twenty  - two  persons:  including  12 
faculty  ,members  and  administrators, 
have been named to the Presidential Task 
Force on Lifelong Education. 

The  task  force's  immediate  task  it to 
make  an  intensive  study  of  the 
University's long - standing commitment 
to continuing and adult education. I twill 
also  examine  the  possibility  of 
lifelong  education 
developing  a 
component  to respond more  effectively 
to  the  growing  needs  of  Michigan 
citizens. 

President Wharton has asked the group 
to aim for at least a preliminary report by 
Sept. 1, and a fmal proposal by the end of 
the year. 

Supported  by  an  $80,000 grant from 
the Kellogg Foundation, the task force is 
an  ou tgrowth  of  one  of  the 
recommendations  from  the Presidential 
Commission  on  Admissions and Student 
Body Composition. 

Wharton  said  that  universities  must 
"respond  to  the unanticipated nee9s  of 
the  educationally  neglected"  as  well  as 
widen  access  to 
traditional  higher 
education  for  young  people.  He 
described  the  task force  as  a major step 
here  "in providing educational service for 
our adult population." 

Wharton  will  be  chairman  of the  task 
force,  and Provost  John E.  Cantlon will 

be  vice  chairman.  William  R.  Wilkie, 
special  assistant  to Wharton,  will  direct 
the task force. 

Appointees  include:  Kullervo  Louhi, 
dean  of business; Lawrence Von Tersch, 
dean  of  engineering;  Clarence  Winder, 
dean  of social science; Richard Chapin, 
dire ctor  of  libraries;  Robert  Davis, 
assistant  provost;  Armand  Hunter, 
director  of  continuing  education;  and 
George McIntyre, director of co'operative 
extension. 

Faculty appointees are: Patricia Barnes 
McConnell,  Center for  Urban Affairs; 
Alex Cade, counseling, personnel services 
and  educational  psychology;  Mildred 
thought  and 
Erickson,  American 

I an guage;  Michael  Harrison,  physics; 
Russell  Kleis,  administration  and higher 
education;  Daniel  Kruger,  labor  and 
industrial  relations;  and  Joseph 
Spielberg, anthropology. 

Student members are:  DavidAnderson 
an d  J ames  Votruba,  both  graduate 
students,  and  Mark  Jaeger, 
undergraduate. 

Bruce  Osterink  of Grand  Rapids  and 
Edward Rothman of Bloomfield Hills are 
alumni  members. Members  at large  are: 
Tony  Benavides,  director  of the  Cristo 
Rey  Community Center, Lansing; Mary 
E.  Misslitz  of  Howell  and  Rev.  E.  C.

Continuing Education  Service: A  quick guide  4t • •  

With  the  naming of the  Presidential Task  Force  on  Lifelong Education,  there 

has come a variety of questions about the Continuing Education Service. 

Members  of  the  task  force  will  undoubtedly  spend  many  weeks  seeking 

ansswers  especially  those jnvolving tlte "why" and "how" aspects of CES. 

Here,  at  least  partially,  is  a  brief  introduction  to  the  Continuing  Education 

traffic  problems.  These  involve  teachiilg,  including  35  credit  courses,  research 
and planning, and  the dissemination  of safety information. 

Hunter directs  the University  Broadcasting Services,  radio  (WKAR  - FM  - AM 

under !Uchard D. Estell) and  television (WMSB  under Robert D. Page).

THE  CES  MIGHT. ··be  called  the  expression  of  MSU's '  commitment  to 
extending  educational  opportunities ,beyond  the  campus  pClpuJation  and  outside 
the  role  of  the  older / Cooperative  Extension  Service.  Every  college  shares  in 
developing ane!  using the CES through  assistant  deans or cOordinators.

regional  offices  .in  Marquette,  Traverse  City,  Grand  Rapids,  Benton  Harbor, 
Saginaw  - Flint, Rochester  and East Lansing. More  than 27,000 persons took part 
in  these  courses  last  year,  and  many  others  use  the  regional  offices  in  contacts 
with MSU.

1,500  insurance  professionals each  year  to develop  their expertise. Paul L. Moore 
directs  the  Nursing  Home  Administrators  Program,  which  armually  helps  some 
400  persons meet  their  state certification  educational requirements,  and  the Mill 
Work Home Study Program, the  service's  only correspondence course.

Many  colleges  have  faculty  on  joint  appointments  to  the  Institute  for 
Community Development  and  Services.  Directed by  Duane  L. Gibson, they work 
in  interdisciplinary  research  and  educational efforts  to  help  governmental  units 
of all sizes. 

The  Highway Traffic Safety Center, under Gordon H. Sheehe, also works with 
a  wide  range  of governmental units to help reduce motor vehicle deaths and other

Science  notes 
A  huge  accelerator ' is  fired  up 

For  a  time at least,  the United States 
leads  the  hardware  race  in  high-energy 
physics.  Last  week  the  National 
Accelerator  Laboratory  at  Batavia,  m., 
fIred  its beam of protons to 200 billion: 
' electron  volts, and  now MSU physicists 
are  readying  their  experiments with  the 
monstrous machine. 

Until  last  week  the  U.S.S.R.  had the 
biggest particle accelerator, a 76 - billion 
electron volt device. 

Why  all  the  acceleration  just  to  get 

particles of higher energy? 

Put  Simple,  the  accelerating machines 
are  built  to  help  scientists  learn  more 
about  different  kinds  of matter  of the 

universe.  The  idea  is  that the more  the 
energy  used,  the  more  the  knowledge 
gained.  And MSU physicists - including 
Maris Abolins, K. Wendell Chen, Z. Ming 
Ma,  Robert  1.  Sprafka  and  Gerald  A. 
Smith  - will  be  among  the  first  of the 
world's  physicists  to  use  the  unique 
machine. 
,  Costing  on the  order  of $300 million, 
the accelerator is expected to be adjusted 
accurately  enough  to  handle  its  first 
experiments sometime before this fall. It 
is  still  an  experimental instrument,  and 
no  one  knows  when  it will  be accurate 
enough  to  begin  its  fust  peek into the 
heart  of  an  atom.  In  a  few  years  the 

energy  of  the  proton  accelerator  is 
expected  to  be  raised  to  400  billion 
electron volts. 

As  a  result  of  the  "world  machines" 
(already  Soviet  scientists  are  preparing 
their  experiments  at  Batavia), 
high-energy  physics  has  uncovered 
hundreds  of  fundamental  particles  of 
matter. 

What  atomic  insights  will  come  from 
the  big  machines  is anybody's guess.  No 
one  knows  what  will  happen  at  200 
billion  electron  volts  -
yeL  MSU 
physicists will be there to see and to learn 
fIrst - hand.

AAUP raps ' 
trUstee  action 

The Council of the MSU Chapter of the 
American  Association  of  University 
Professors (AAUP) issued two statements 
last week criticizing both the procedures 
and  substance  of  a  Board  of Trustees' 
resolution,  adopted at the  Board's Feb. 
25 meeting. 

The Board resolution criticized Robert 
Green,  Thomas  Gunnings,  and  Joseph 
McMillan  for  procedures  the 
three 
followed  in  charging  racism  in  the  Big 
Ten. (News-Bulletin, March 2) 

The  AAUP  council  called  the  Board 
resolution  "an  open  attack  on  faculty 
members  who  express  their  opinions  to 
the community at large." 

Their statement referred to the AAUP's 
1940  Statement  on Academic  Freedom 
and Tenure, which states: "The college or 
university teacher is a citizen .. ; when he 
speaks or writes as a citizen, he should be 
free  from  institutional  censorShip  or 
di~cipline .. . "  The 1940 statement also 
says'that the teacher Should indicate that 
he. -~, ']lot  an  institutional  spokesman, 
which the AAUP council says that Green, 
M<;Millan  and  Gunnings  did  when they 
made their charges. 

The  AAUP  council also  criticized the 
languilge of the Board's resolution. Use of 
the  teim  "plaintiff,"  the  council  said, 
"has  the  effect  of placing  the$e  faculty 
members in an  adversary position to the 
broader  community." And references to 
the three as «Prof. Green and Associates" 
and "Prof. Green  et aI," the council said, 
"is demeaning to our three colleagues as 
well  as  depreciating  of  their  academic 
status." 

' 

to 

The  council  also  expressed  concern 
tnat  the  Board  resolution  "conveys  an 
un-willingness 
take  seriously  the 
charge.s  raised  by  Green,  Gunnings  and 
McMillan." The Board action, the council 
sa,i:d;,  might  be  interpreted - as 
endorsement of the status quo, and ~'sUch 
a position on the part of the Board again 
pre~pts the prerogatives of the faculty 
an~~f the  administrators who  have  the 
respqnsibility  for  dealing  with athletics 
within the conference." 

The council further stated that "even if 
no  conscious  discrimination  has  taken 
place" in  Big  Ten  athletics,  the  small 
number  of  officials  and  coaches  from 
minority  groups  Should  be  increased  if 
to  embody  the 
the  universities  are 
democratic spirit which we 
believe to be 
the very founwtion of university life."  , 

Green appears 

b'e/ore Big  Te'n 

Seven  recommendations,  including  a 
suggestion  to  establish  a Big  Ten  Equal 
Opportunity  Committee,  were 
presented  to  the  Big  Ten  this week  by 
Robert  L. Grem,  director of the Center 
.. 
fOLU.rban  Affairs.
TestifyiIlg before  the  JoffitGroqp of 
FacUlty  RepreSentatives  and  'Athletic 
Directors,  Green  offered  evidence 
concerning  his  claims  of Big  Ten racial 
in  a  press 
discrimination  made 
conference  feb.  10. 

,' 

"

,

Gre.en  said  that  Big  Ten  universities 
now employ 40 officials in  football and 
36  in  basketball,  yet  only  one  in  each 
sport, is  black.  And  he  noted that black 
athletes  constitute  from  30  to  '60 
percent of the players in these ' spQrts. 

He  added  that  the  lack  of  black 

officials is exceeded by the lack of black 
employe s  in  Big  ,Ten  athletic 
departments. 

Among  the  recommendations 
presented  by  Green  were:  Hire  blacks 
at  every  officiating  level  by  next  fall; 
create  a  Big  Ten  Equal  Opportunity 
Committee  with  two  representatives 
from  each  school;'  place  blacks  in  the 
role  to  select Big Ten officials for spring 
sports;  institute  a  fifth-year  plan  for 
financial support of athletes; post names 
of athletes holding  summer jobs at each 
school,  together  with  job  and  wage 
information;  hire  black  counselors  in 
athletic  departments;  hire  a  black 
associate  comritissioner  of the  Big  Ten 
to  be  responsible 
that  the 
recommendations are implemented.

CU elects. 
new directors 

The  MSU  Employes, Credit  Union 
held  its  annual  meeting  Monday  night, 
(March  6)  and  elected  three  to  the 
board of directors  and hvo  members  of 
the credit committee. 

Elected  to  the  board  of  directors 
were:  Elaine  Frank,  administrative 
assistant  to the  dean  of natural science; 
William  Kenney,  associate  director  of 
financial  aids;  and  Howard  Zindel, 
professor  and  chairman  of  poultry 
science. 

Elected  to  the  credit  committee 
were:  Gary  Cooper,  loan  supervisor  of 
the  credit  union;  and  Ted  L.  Smith, 
assistant manager in residence halls. 

Winner  of  the  door  prize  for  the 
evening  was  Charles E. Garrison, general 
supervisor  of the  physical  plant garage. 
He  may  choose  between  $2poO in cash 
or  a  car. 

Corrections 

The  News-Bulletin  was  guilty  last 
• week  (March  2)  of  two 
important 
typographical errors. In the story on the 
history  of general education, the date of 
the  Morrill  Act  should  have  read  1862 
(not  1962),  and  a reference  to  the  Act 
of 1861 (not 1961). 

The  story  on  the  hearing  on  the 
status  of  women  contained  remarks 
from  Gloria  Moron  which  should  have 
.  read:  "It  is  difficult  to  distinguish 
betwee'n  Chicano  and  Chicana 
in 
treatment. When  you slap  one, you slap 
all. " 

Censure 
motion  tabled 

To  censure  or  not  to  censure . .. who 
can  censure .. . how  to  censure . . . why 
censure . . ..  should  the  Academic . 
Council  have  censured  a professor and a 
trustee  last  fall?  The  questions are  still 
unresolved.  Two  related  motions  were 
brought  up  for  consideration  at 
Tuesday's  Council  meeting,  and  both 
were tabled. 

Gerald  Miller,  professor  of 
communication,  moved  to  rescind  the 
November  censure  of  Bob  Repas, 
professor  of  labor  and  industrial 
relations, and Trustee Clair White. Miller 
said  the  method used  in  November  was 
a  "parliamentary abomination,"and due 
process was violated. 

James McKee, profes~or of SOCiology, 
agreed  that there had been a lack of due 
process  regardless  of  the  view  on  the 
substantive  issue  of  the  censure.  (The 
issue  was  the involvement,of Repas and 
White  in  releasing  faculty  salary  data_) 
Frederick  Williams,  :professor  of 
history  and  chairman: oHhe University 
Faculty  Affairs ' and  Faculty 
Compensation  Committee,  said  his 
committee  unanimously  opposed 
another  move 
to  rescind.  (Such  a 
motion  was  defeated<at  the  same 
November  meeting.»Williams  had 
moved  the  censure  in  November  as  a 
point  of personal  privilege.  Tuesday  he 
threatened  to  "talk  at  length"  on  the 
issue  if  the  motion to  rescind was not 
tabled. 

The  motion  was  tabled  by  a  4941 

vote. 

A  motion  from  the  steering 
committee  to  govern  procedures  on' 
motions  of  censure  or  reprimand  was 
also 
tabled  (45-39)  because :  some 
Council  members  became  confused 
about what they were voting on. 

Tabling  I  will  allow 

the  steering 
committee  to  incorporate  two 
amendments - discussed  Tuesday:  One 
to  allow  the  person  involved  to  be 
invited  to  and ,be  heard  at  the  meeting 
at  which  ,censure  or  reprimand  is 
introduced,  and another  amendment  to 
state  that  such  a  motion would not be 
acted  on  until  a  succeeding  Council 
meeting. 

Discussion  on  the  motion  indicated 
contradictory  views  am(lng  Council 
members  on whether they had a right to 
censure,  whether  there  ought  to  be 
criteria for  censure,  or even a defInition 
of censure.  Nor was  there agreement on 
whether  there  ought  to  be  due  process 
in  censure  matters_  Anne  Garrison, 
professor  of  business  law  and  office 
administration,  stated  flatly  that 
"censure  actions  do  not  require  due 
process." 

In other action, the Council: 
* Approved  modification  of general 
education  requirements  (News-Bulletin, 
March  2),  including  an  implementation 
schedule  stating  that  new  options  will 
not  generally  be  available  for  students 
before  f a ll ,  1973.  A  phased 
implementation will be instituted by the 
provost's  office, which will also  conduct 
a  planning  effort  to  identify  resource 
needs  and  possible  resource 
reallocations.  After  the  Council 
approves  general  education  credit 
criteria,  colleges' will  be  encouraged  to 
identify  existing  or  new  general 
education  courses  for  the  University 
Curriculum Committee. 

*  Approved  a  resolution  endorsing 
active  participation by students in  "the 
democratic political process" and urging 

facility  to  encourage  student interest  in 
political  activities.  The  resolution  also 
suggests  that,  where  feasible,  faculty 
consider  student  interest  in  such 
participation  when  scheduling  tests, 
setting  attendance  requirements  and 
providing  alternative  learning 
experiences.  And  the  resolution  states 
that each  student is responsible to make 
arrangements  and  obtain  prior  approval 
for such participation. 

South ,Asia 
proposals sent 

Six  U_S.  - South  Asia  policy 
recommendations,  including  one  to 
establiSh  full  diplomatic  relations  with 
Bangladesh, have been formulated by 12 
South  Asia  scholars  meeting  on  this 
campus.  The  group  includes  nine  MSU 
faculty members. 

The recommendations are  being sent 
to  government  officials  and  legislators. 
U.S.  Senate hearings on the recognition 
of BangladeSh  were  scheduled  to begin 
Monday. 

The  South  Asia  scholars  concluded 
.  that  the  U.S.  national  interest  in  the 
world  "is  best-.. identified  with  those 
that  respect  the  democratic 
nations 
right  of  self  - determination  and  that 
foster  social  and  economic  justice. 
These  ' are  the,  values  with  which 
American  democracy  has  been 
histOrically associated. 

"U.S.  policy  in  South  Asia  over  the 
last  two  decades  has  been  seriously  in 
error  in  placing  undue  emphasis  on 
military  assistance.  The  situation  in 
South  Asia is now dramatically changed 
and the opportunity is  open  to set U.S. 
policy  on  a  course  that  is  consistent 
with  its  national  values.  This 
opportunity may not long exist." 

The  group  recommends,  in  addition 
to  recognition  of Bangladesh,  that  the 
U.S.: 

* Reiterate  that  its  own interests in 
South Asia  are  best served by social and 
economic  development  under 
democratic  government,  when  rights  of 
all  national  minorities  are  assured  in 
each  country:  Bangladesh,  India  and 
Pakistan. 

*  Should  soon 

try  to  improve 
relations  with , India  th.rough 
such 
means  as  exchange  visits by high  - level 
a~istrators and legislators. 

*  Should  provide  assurances  that 
normalized  relations with China will not  ' 
jeopardize  vital  interests  of  other 
friendly nations in the subcontinent. 

* Should resume providing social and 
economic  aid  to Bangladesh, India, and 
Pakistan - emphasizing such channels as 
the  World  Bank and the United Nations 
-
based  largely  on  relief  and 
developmental needs. 

*  Should  state  a  policy  that 
discourages  armaments  competition 
among  con tries  of  the  sub  -
continentwhile  recognizing  legitimate 
internal security and defense needs.

The  urban  college proposal 
Toward more  'human  problem  solutions' 

The  educational  policy  conuniUee·s (EPC)  report  on  the  proposed  Co Uege  of 
Urban  Developmen t  and  Social  Change  is  based  partiaU y  On  an  eight  - page 
proposal  completed on Dec.  7 ,  197 1. That document  is an  updated abstract of the 
initial  122-page  proposal  submi tted  last  September  by  the  Center  for  Urban 
Affairs to  the provost's office (news-Bullet in, Oct. 7, 1971). 
Following are excerpts from  the updated Dec. 7 pro posal. 

RATIONALE 

Present  colleges  within  this  University  do  not  facilitate  assembling  the 
necessary  subject  matter On urban and social  problems). F urther, the departments 
and  coUeges with  the  closest  interests have  evolved  as disci pline-orien ted  en t,jties 
which  tend  to  view social  phenomena  as  unidimensional  (as ejther sociological or 
psychological  o r  economic).  Current  opinion  suggests  tha t  tradi tional  academic 
preparat ion,  may  be 
inadequate  fo r  specialization  in  ex perimental  hwnan 
problem solut ion. 

It is  urged  that each  of the  social  and  naturiI sciences  continue  to  contribute 
and  improve  its  specialized  knowledge  about  each  human  problem. The  existing 
applied  colleges  need  to  continue  and  perfect  the ir  present  missions, it appears 
equally  clear t hat  a  new  integrated  lUultidisciplinary  body of knowledge  needs to 
be  generated  which  organizes  and  coordinates  the  approaches  of  the  various 
sciences into a body of theory about  human probJem solution ... 
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS 

It is  intended  that  the proposed college be problem oriented ... in the generic 
sense  including  such  major  and  persistent  problems  as  racism,  ethnocentrism, 
urban  health,  urban education, urban housing,  rehabilitation of those  in conflict 
with society, and so forth.. ..  _

CURRICULAR CHARACTERISTICS 

A general description of the proposed curriculum is: 
*General education component ... It is proposed that the college serve a major 

service function accessible to all students in the University. 

*The  core  program  .  .  .  is  intended  to  introduce  the  student  to  the  basic ' 
substantive  and  methodological orientations  of the  college.  The  methods (could) 
include  a  combination  of  field  projects,  research 
techniques  and  action 
experiences.  One  Of the goals  of the  college  will be to expose each student to the 
impact of racial discrimination on urban development. 

.  . 

* Area  of  con_centration 

*Joint programs  ... (could involve) the college providing students with majors 
in  other  units  the  equivalent of a substantive minor in race and urban  problem; ... 
.  may  encompass  a  major  or  a  particular 
interdisciplinary  focus  ... Some  (students) may  wish an "area of concentration" 
in  urban  problems -and  social  change,  and  may  also  be  expected  to  take  ~ 
extensive  minor  in  other  departments  or  schools  .. . (and)  a  small  group, of 
students may wish to seek their "area of concentration" in the college  . . . 

-
*Future  graduate  study  - Although  an  undergraduate  program  is  the  first 
priority, it should be stressed that the development of future graduate  program; ••• 
must be proposed if the college is to realize its full potential in teaching, rese;iTch 
and community development ... 
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER UNITS 

·  . .  Preliminary discussions  have  been  held  extensively  ... (and) interest  h.as 
been  exptessed  in  such diverse  areas  as  criminal justice,  nursing,  human  ecology"

·  .. A  unique  fea ture  of the  proposed  College  (of Urban  Development  and 
Social  Change)  is  a  broad  and. central  examination  of racism  -
the  forces  that 
brought  it  into  being,  a  comprehension  of  its  nat ure,  and  the  implications  for 
social change and development. 

While the most  develo~d studies and the largel't national problem concerns the 
condition  of black  people',  it  is recognized  that  raCe  conflict is not ' 
limited to 
the  proposed  program  will  also  place 
black  and  wh ite.  T his.  aspect  of 
developmental  emphasis  on  the  experiences  of other  (groups),  specifically  the 
North American Indians and the Spanish - speaking Americans . 

.  .  .  The  proposed  college  will  focus  on  urban'development as  a social process. 
Instruction,  service"  and  research  in  urban  development  will  approach  planning 
through transforrnin'g  and improving  present  social structures or discovering more 
effective alternatives to them ... 

The  proposed program would explore  problems of improving health,  housing, 
transportation  and  educational  inadequacies  which  are  exacerbated  for  highly 
identifiable racial minorities . . . 
ORGANIZATION OF THE COLLEGE 

It  is  proposed  that  this  college  avoid  the  typical  disciplinary  divisions  and 
departments  as  has  already  been  done  in  the  three  residential  colleges.  Instead, a 
system  of  "emphasis  groups"  should  be  permitted  to  evolve.  The  use  of the 
"emphasis  group"  format  in  a  small  college  will  permit  greater  flexibility,  the 
opportunity  for  faculty  to  be  associated  with  more  than  one  interest  area,  and 
more  freedom to evolve relationships with external departments, schools, colleges, 
foundations and federal agencies ... 

PROGRAM SIZE, PRODUCTIVITY AND COST 

·  .

.  The  courses  in  (the  three)  service  programs  will  ~rve large  numbers  of 
students  from, many  areas  in  the  University.  The  instructional  models  in  these 
courses  will  be  of  ~ch nature  that  the  student  credit  hour  production for  the 
college  will  average  in  the  University  target  area  of 900 student credit  hours 'per 
'  -. 
full- time equivalent faculty. 
·  . .  It is  recognized  that  the  instructional  model  (field  study" research:  3n'd 
action  programs) is  costly if full and  adequate  superVIsion  is  to be  maintain~~ .. ,. 
For this reason,  the number of students admitted to "areas of concentration" Will 
initially  be  small  .. :.  It may  be  speculated that the  number of students wi~ a~ 
"area of concentration" will be from 50 to  100 in the entering class. 

FINANCIAL AND  FACULTY RESOURCES 

According  to  the  Office  of  Institutional  Research,  the  present  full-time 
equivalent  faculty  of the  Center  for  Urban  Affairs  is  22.75  ... Ledgers  of the 
Academic  Budget  Office  indicate  available  funds  in  CUA  for  approximately an 
additional  7.25  FTEF,  bringing  the  faculty  total  to  30.0  (instructor  through 
professor  levels).  This  faculty  is  available  without withdrawing CUA  funds from 
ongoing projects ... 

The  30.0  FTE  faculty  would provide  the  new College  ... with a larger faculty 
than  that  of Lyman Briggs  and  James  Madison,  or  a  faculty  somewhat smaller 
than  that of Justin Morrill, or a faculty three-fIfths the size of human ecology and 
communication arts ...

possible.  A  special Council meeting  will 
be called when the report is ready. 

Although  the  proposal  for  an  urban 
development  college  has  been  under 
consideration  since  it  was  first  drafted 
the  plan  attracted  renewed 
last  fall, 
"  attention earlier this week when the 'State 
.  News  made  public  a letter to President 
" Wharton in  which four tmstees said they 
would  not  support  creation· of  'the 

"  college. 

The  four  - Warren  H~ff, Clair White, 
, 'Frank Merriman and Ktmneth Thbmpson 
:  ~ wrote  their  letter Feb.  25;  In it, they 
:: express  specific  opposition  to 'naming 
,  Robert Green (director of the Center for 
Urban Affairs) "the dean of any college." 
. ,  And  they  suggested  naming  a  new 
commission  composed  of persons  from 
" 
,  concerned  colleges  and  departments  to 
recommend  how  the  University  should

(While  the  proposal  does  suggest  that 

the  college  have  its  own  dean, it  does 
not recommend Green  or anyone else for 
the job, and it does not outline any search 
and selection procedures for a  dean.) 

There  has  been  speculation  that  the 
college  proposal  would  come  up  for 
Board  action 'atthe  trustees" 'march.  17

'  , 

When  asked by a  Council member if 
discussion  on EPC's  progress  report was 
"a moot point" after the trustees' letter, 
Provost  John  Cantlon  pointed out that 
there  were  similarities  or  agreement 
between  points  in  the letter and in  the 
EPC  report.  Wharton  said  the  trustees' 
comments  were  directed  at  the  college 
the  EPC' s 
proposal  and  not  at 
evaluation,  which  is  not  yet  complete 
and  in  the hands of the  administration. 

THE  PROPOSAL  for  the  new  urban 
college  has  been  in  the  educational 
policies  committee  since  January.  After 
intensive  work with  the proposal during 
winter term (including some  11  hours of 
discussions last Thursday and Saturday), 
the EPC  has ahnost completeda 13 - page 
report  on  the  proposal.  Manderscheid 
said  the  full  report, should  be  ready 
shortly  after  the  beginning  of  spring 
term. 

And  he  emphasized  that  the  EPC

reported to the Academic Council: 

"1.  Although the  commIttee is gratified 
to  learn  that  increased  concern  is  now 
being  given - by  various  units  of  the 
University  to  problems  of urbanization 
and race,  it is vital that'MSU increase its 

effoi:ts  at  urban  - human  problem 
solution. 

"2.  Strengthened'  and  broadened 
academic  programs providing a focus on 
urban  - human  problems 
through 
coordinated  courses,  instructional 
programs,  research  and  public  service 
should be implemented by MSU. 

"3., There  is  no  consensus  iIi' the 
committee  whether or not the proposed 
coUege  would  be  the  best  m~ans  of 
accomplishlng  the  objectives in  1  and 2 
above, and whether or not a new degree -
granting unit should be established. ' 

"4.  Because  of the complexity of the 
IssUes and limitations of time available to 
the educational policies committee"  our 
investigations  and  deliberations  are  not 
complete  or  sufficient.  More  time  and 
sustained ·  effort  should  be  given 
to 
investi,gate  the possibilities  of expanded 
progfams in urban development and their 
coordinated  execution  throughout  the 
University.'~

Banks: A  ne:w  dean  assumes 
the job  of juggling priorities 

: 

, 

I 

' 

Robert,  F,  Banks  has • eased  quite 
naturally  into  the  role  of. the, second 
dean of James Madison College .. 

As  acting  dean  since  Sept.  1 and  an 
associate  dean  under  Herbert Garfmkel 
since  the  college's  inception, Banks  has 
been  involved  with  the  whole  range  of 
decision  making  and  administrative 
function. 

He sees his new role as one of juggler. 
"In  an  institutional  setting  such  as

unit. 

'"  Hear  a  report  trom  an  ad  noc 
committee  to  study  the  possible 
affiliation  of MSU  with the  Association 
of Michigan CollegIate Faculties. 

Banks'  seeS  many  advantages  to 
assuming  the  leadership  of a  small unit 
such as James Madison. 

''The  dean  in  a  residential  college 
carries  the  combined  dutes  of  dean, 
department  chairman'  and  chairman  in 
the  curriculum  committee," he  said.  "I 
still.  am  able  to  teach,  for  which  I  am 
grateful. " 

"Because  I  must  be  open  to 
involvement  with  faculty  and  students 
on  a  variety  of  issues,"  he  said,  "I've 
had  the  opportunity  to know by_name 
most of the students I come across." 
What are his goaJs for the college? 
Banks  said  that  he  feels  "a 
commitment to  expand and-innovate in 
the  area  of  undergraduate  education, 
such  as  critical and analytical  skills  and 
writing ability." 

Based  on  the  generaJ  evaluation  of 
the  residential  colleges  now in  progress, 
Banks  said  that  he  hopes  to  "identify 
those  aress  of deficiency and  weakness, 
and try  to remedy them through reform 
at the margin.' 

He  also  said that he  wants to explore 
ways,in  which  the  college  might  better 
seH:e 
the  general 
in 
University as well. 

students 

Banks  emphasized  that  the  program 

is not "all soul  and no substance." 

"Our  students,  especially  last  year, 
were , particularly  interested  in  the 
practical  application  of their  skills  and 
what  they  might  do  when  they 
graduate," he said. 

Banks  noted  that  the  field  study 
program  at  Madison  College  has 
provided  a  good  context  for 
the 
students  to  gain  the  experience  they 
need.

was  judged  by  Time  magazine  as  "the 
greatest  living  writer  in  the  Spanish 
language." 

In  the  1962  year-end  listing  of "best 
books",  Time  included  Borges' 
"Labyrinths" and "Ficciones". 

These  two  collections  of  prose 
"fictions"  and  essays  were  the  first 
volumes of Borges' writings to appear in 
EwWsh.  With  their publication, Borges' 
fl!,lllj:,  aJready  firmly  established  in 
Europe,  quickly  began 
to  spread

PhilosophicaJ  and  metaphysical  ideas 
tend to replace people in Borges' stories, 
and speculation on concepts such as time, 
space and identity occupy the place that 
in other writers' wor.kwould be taken up 
by  sentimentalism  or  psychological 
probing. 

He  once  declared  modestly,  but 
significantly:  "I am  quite  simply  a  man 
literary 
who  ,uses  perplexities  for 
purposes." 

Borges,  retired  professor  of American 
and English literature at the University of 
Buenos Aires and, since, 1955, director of 
the  National Library in.that  city, made

A  'builder'  looks  to retirement 

"One  upon  a  time,  a young man  named 
Foster  traded  the family  cow for a handful 
of magic beans, which he cast into the fields 
of East  Lansing . .  ,  whereupon dormitories 
sprang  up  and  bore  many  students,  and  a 
great University grew . . . and grew . ... " 

*** 
Emery  Foster,  now  in  his 31st year as 
an  MSU  administrator, has undoubtedly 
been  one  of the  key  figures in the  rapid 
growth of this  University. After a year's 
consultantship beginning in June, Foster 
will  retire  from  his  life  work of housing 
and feeding students. 

"The entire uormitory and food service 
operation is a tribute to him," Executive 
Vice  President  Jack  Breslin  said.  "He 
built the  biggest,  and probably the best, 
system in the world." 

Foster's career  at MSU began when he 
came  back to his  alma  mater in  1941  as 
manager  of  the  Union  Building.  The 
of  3,000  students  he  had 
college 

known  as  an  undergraduate in 1929 had 
doubled  in  size.  Dormitory  room  and 
board  rates  then  were  only  about  $324 
per year,  but  then,  students received 40 
cents  an hour, and regular employes just 
60 cents. 

"HE  STARTED  BUILDING 
dormitories in  1960 and neveL stopped," 
Foster's  secretary  explained.  "Not 
quite,"  was his  quiet rejoinder. "1949 -
Shaw Hall was my first one." 

F oster  served  for  24  years  as manager 
of  dormitories  and  food  services 
(1946-1970)  before accepting a position 
as  assistant  vice  president  for  business 
operations. 

"I  think,  in  years  of  service,  I'm the 
oldest man  still  left  who  was  appointed 
by John A. Hannah," he said. 

OFTEN,  BY  THE  time  University 
administrators  reach  retirement, 
chan ging  times  have  put  their 
accomplishments in a new and sometimes 
unfavorable light. 

Faculty  works shown  at Kresge 

Two  one - man  faculty  shows  are  on 
display  at  the' Kresge  Art  Center 
Gallery. 

The  artists are  Anthony  DeBlasi  and 
Allen  Leepa,  whose  paintings  o.ccupy 
the  entire  North  Gallef)'.  In  addition, 
the  entrance  gallery  will  be  devoted to 
works  in  various  media by  membe.rs  of 
the Michigan Academib'f Science, 'Arts 
and Letters. 

The  exhibit,  open 

the  public 
without  charge,  continues  through 
March 26. 

to 

DeBlasi,  associate  professor  of  art, 
has  studied  at the Art Students League 
of  New  York  with  Sydney  Dickinson, 
Will  Barnet and Frank Mason. He  taught 
at  Washington  and  Jefferson  College 
before joining the MSU faculty in  1966. 

He  has  ~eceived,: a  number  of  prizes 
including  the  Founders  Purchase  Prize 
and  a  one  - ma~ show  at  the  Detroit 
Institute of Arts:

' 

Leepa,  profeSsor  of art, has  received 
Fulbright  and  Ford  Foundation  grants 
for his paintings, plus such awards as  the 
1968  first  prize, Pw;chase  Award  in  the 
National  Invitation  ,Exhibition  of  the 
American  Academy of Arts  and Letters 
in New York. 

His  works  have  been  seen  in  New 
York's  Museum  of  Modern  Art,  the 
'Musee  d'Art  Moderne  in  Paris,  the  Sao 
Paolo  VII  Biennale  in  Brazil, 
the 
Edinburgh  International  Festival  in 
Scotland  and  in  a  retrospective  exhibit 
at Hofstra University in  1965. 

"The  biggest  residence  hall  system in 
the  world"  no  longer .evokes  the  same 
pride  and  enthusiasm  among  students 
that it  once  did, and "overbuilding" has 
become a catch - phrase of critics. 

"One, thing  that  kind  of bugs  me  is 
statements  about  'the  mistake  of 
overbuilding'," Foster said. "From 1946 
on,  with  the  exception  of 1958-59,  we 
never  had  normal  occupancy  -
enrollments  always  exceeded  our 
capacity to house them." 

Even  as  new  dormitories  were  built, 
they  couldn't  quite  keep  pace  with 
increasing demands. 

What  about, bigness  itself?  Of course, 
Foster points out, he  did  not create the 
University's policy, but he did his job in 
accordance with it. 

"This  policy  meant  trying  to 
accommodate  any  qualified  applicant 
and provide housing for him. Mr. Hannah 
took  great  pride  in  the  fact  that  no 
qualified  veteran  was  turned  down  at 
MSU after the war." 

"Everybody  would  like  to  see  the 
campus about the size it was when he was 
a student," he added. 
*** 
"EMERY  FOSTER  IS  not  just  a 
manager in the strict sense of the word," 
Jack Breslin said.  "He has always had the 
interest of the  kids  at heart and doesn't 
just think in terms of money." 

Changing  times  may  never  catch  up 

with Foster. 

"I  think  everyone  expects  me  to  be 
more  conseJvative  than  I  really  am," he 
said. "I think we  are better off now with 
some  of  the  changes 
like  faculty 
governance,  the  Academic  Freedom 
Report,  and  the  demise  of  in  loco 
parentis." 

"There  used  to  be  a  feeling  among 
parents  that  we  should  do  things  that 
. they  weren't willing  to do  themselves."
