, /J1.5 t1- ~-~ .... Board affirms urban affairs commitment The Board of Trustees has given its unanimous support to the University's commitment to focus primary attention on expansion of academic programs in urban affairs. By voice vote at its March 17 meeting, the trustees endorsed a resolution offered by Blanche Martin to: * Support President Wharton's position that urban affairs "shall be a priority area for expansion of academic programs." * Charge Wharton to develop - with the advice of appropriate MSU committees and others - "one or more feasible proposals" for consideration by the Board to provide "the necessary academic, research and service thrusts toward solution of the major problems of urban society." Recommendations will be reported to the Board no later than its May meeting. * Request Wharton "to explore informally with other interested Michigan universities the possibility of joint efforts in this area." * * * FOLLOWING THE MAR(H 17 meeting, Wharton said that a University - based urban affairs college could playa significant role in developing a statewide "urban extension system" - one of the concepts he is now exploting. And he reiterated his personal . support for a degree - granting college as "the best means of strengthening an academic and research response to urban problems, especially if we are to prepare the sorely needed, trained professionals who 'Yill' grapple 'with these problems as a permanent career." He said that the need in the past has not been fully met by "graduates trained solely in traditional disciplines. "Equally important, such a college could be the focal point of extension activities in the state's urban areas," Wharton added. "I would like to discuss this with other Michigan universities who may be interested in a cooperative approach to such an extensi<;m program." A proposal for a college of urban development, originating in the Center for Urban Affairs, has been in the educational policies' committee since December (News - Bulletin, March 9). The EPC's report is expected this week. But before it could be fully evaluated, the proposal drew criticism from four trustees who said in a letter to Wharton that it was unacceptable to meet what they saw to be the needs of the cities. Wharton emphasized that the action at this month's Board meeting "definitely did not preclude consideration of a college of urban development. " "Their resolution was neither a compromise nor a substitute. It represented authorization to me to explore any and all possibilities and to come back with a set of recommendations. " He said that the earlier letter from the four trustees was in response to the specific proposal, not necessarily at the (contip'y'e~ on page 2) "~ ..

The women, selected from a list of volunteers, represent faculty, staff and student constituencies. The group will select its own chairwoman and will decide if its meetings are to be open. The fIrst organizational meeting is to be held Friday (March 31), possibly with President Wharton to discuss the group's charge. The steering committee is to function over a three-month period to: *Determine the type of organizational structure most responsive to the needs and special interests of women. *Define the issues of concern regarding the status of women at MSU. * Assume the role of women's advocate. *Develop a proposal for future action. The steering committee was proposed during meetings last term by an informal group of women who originally met at the invitation of the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP). Steering committee members are: r,largaret Bubolz, professor and chairman of family and child sciences: Laurine Fitzgerald, associate dean of students; Ann Tukey Harrison, associate professor of romance languages; Joann Collins, a counselor in fInancial aids; Josephine F. Wharton, asssistant to the director of EOP. Also: Carol Naille, senior clerk in financial aids; Roberta Smith, editorial assistant in engineering; Verna Bradley, food service supervisor in McDonel Hall; Linda K. Hamilton, section head in the library; Laura Henderson, academic adviser in University College; Eunice Richardson, staff nurse at Olin Health Center; and Vicki Neiberg, coordinator of the Alliance to End Sex Discrimination. Also: Graduate students Marylee Davis, education, and Mary Kay Scullion, education; and undergraduates Bridget Denihan, president of the Associated Women Students, Lin Mracheck and Elva Revilla. Olga Dominquez of the EOP staff will -serve as staff assistant to the steering committee. ONE WEEK BEFORE naming the steering committee, Wharton announced six affirmative action steps toward assuring the equality of treatment of women on campus. He said the steps would complement the University's major objectives of securing more women 11) fa<;ulty and administrative positions, improving personnel practices and providing greater educational opportunities for women. The six steps outlined by Wharton are: *Elimination of salary inequities between equally - qualifIed men and women faculty by making individual salary adjustments within the next few weeks and assigning a share of anticipated increase fiscal year 1972-73 salary appropriations for additional improvements. *Development of a system to provide central posting of faculty vacancies which could induce the recruitment of more women and minority applicants for available positions. *Strengthening of the Personnel Office's responsibility as the focal point for nonacademic employment, referral of applicants for nonacademic vacancies, recruitment and testing of applicants. *Evalua tion of the existing child - care center and determination of feasibility of providing additional self - supporting facilities. *Completion of work by a task force assigned by Wharton to recommend the extent to which fringe benefIts should accrue to temporary and part - time staff employes in faculty and administrative positions. *Development of a University policy defining the role of women's intercollegiate athletics on campus and the support to which they are entitled.

White then released a statement of his own in which he said he will contact members of the governing bodies of MSU, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University to suggest that the three groups meet informaIly not later than May 15 "to discuss the feasibility of establishment of a consortium of the three universities to focus their combined resources on the State of Michigan's urban problems." And in a fmaI March action related to the urban affairs issue, the Board approved a Don Stevens motion to de signate Martin as a trsutee with "special expertise" to work directly with the administration in developing proposaIs to deaI with urban problems. • • A.mended grievance procedures passed (concluded from page 1) concept of a degree - granting college. And he noted that only one trustee (Warren Huff) has publicly opposed a degree-granting college; other trustees have reserved judgment until a proposal is put before them, and others have publicly supported a college. * * * AT THE BOARD'S March meeting, general support was voiced for the Martin motion, but two trustees - Huff and Clair White - raised issues related to the resolution. Huff produced a copy of a letter sent to the trustees by State Rep. James Del Rio of Detroit (in which Del Rio characterized the four trustees' statement of opposition to the urban development college proposal as an "Apprentice Bigot letter" and in which he stiggested that if the college is not established, "then I think your whole financial structure should be revoked "). Huff labeled the Del Rio letter an attempt by the legislator t6 "badger other elected state officials," and he An amended set of interim grievance procedures for nomeappointed faculty was passed quickly and unanimously by the Board of Trustees at its March meeting - a sharp contrast from the session of a month eariier when the Board generated a lot of motion but no action on the procedures. The approved procedures represent a compilation of already approved tenure procedures adapted ' for nontentured faculty (News - Bulletin, March 2). Amendments adopted at the latest meeting provide that: A transcription of appeal proceedings shall be made in the event of subsequent challenge, with Council will meet Tuesday; special session set on April 11 The Academic Council will meet next Tuesday (April 4) at 3: 15 p.m. in the Con Con Room of the Center for International Programs to consider: *A University Curriculum Committee report. * An Academic Council tape policy. *The proposed expansion of the Military Education Advisory Committee. *Proposed bylaw changes to allow for instructor participation and for filling student vacancies on standing committees. * A proposed policy on joint appointments of nontenured faculty in the tenure stream. A speciaI meeting of the Council is scheduled for April 11 to consider: The interim grievance procedures approved earlier this month by the Elected Faculty Council; a policy on future resolutions of reprimand; and to hear a report and recommendations on the development of procedures for faculty consultation in selection of principal academic officers. EFC okays interim procedures, agrees to recorded hearings The Elected Faculty Council has approved the proposed interim grievance procedures from the Ad Hoc Committee to Study Faculty Rights, Re sponsibilities, and Grievance Procedures. The procedures are to be interim until the "rights and responsibilities" portion of the committee's charge is completed. The procedures are expected to be considered at a speciaI meeting of the Academic Council April 11. The Elected Faculty Council (EFC) amended the proposed procedures by excluding all grievances concerning extensions of reappointment, dismissal, termination or nomeappointment of faculty in the tenure track. All such cases would follow procedures through the University Committee on Faculty Tenure.

EFC also approved provision for tape recordings to be kept for all hearings under the interim grievance procedure. In other action, the EFC approved a motion from the Steering Committee of the Faculty to distribute to all faculty members: (1) A statement of the nature, purposes and dues of the Association of Michigan Collegiate Faculties (AMCF), and (2) a payroll deduction authorization card for a $2 deduction from one month's salary to be used by the EFC for expenses of AM CF membership and other EFC activities. The EFC also voted to receive the report of the ad hoc committee to study collective bargaining, but aIso to request the committee to continue its work of gathering information until further notice.

It was produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. copies to be made available at cost to the grievant; and if a majority (rather than two - thirds) of the University Tenure Committee agrees that a nonreappointment is unjustified, the judgment is binding upon the provost, who forwards the decision' to the president. Provost John Cantlon noted that some questions had been raised regarding the openness ,of hearings. He said that hearings would be closed unless one party requests and the second party consents to opening it. The Board also adopted two suggestions from Patricia Carrigan: "That anyone wishing to appeaI under these procedures must file a written petition within 10 days of board action on the amended procedures;" and that, based on "reasonable assurance that the appeaI process can be completed within two months," the trustees will wait until May to consider any contract extensions. IN OTHER ACTIONS, the Board: * Approved 80 faculty appointments, 65 of them men, 15 women. Included are Gerhard H. Magnus, new chairman ofthe art department, effective July 1; Philip Greenman, professor in osteopathic medicine, as chairman of the new biomechanics department, effective July 1; James P. Howard as chairman of community medicine, effective July 1; and Marta Tienda, assistant the Cooperative Extension Service director, to develop programs for Chicano families. to * Accepted $1,787,018 in gifts and grants, inclilding $409,614 from the MSU Alumni Association. The alumni association funds brought its totaI 1971 contributions to $1,683,032. * Accepted some $16,000 from the State News, representing haIf of the paper's excess net profits from the past fiscal year. The money goes for student fmancial aids. History in sound 'Don't flinch-hit the line hard!' G. Robert Vincent is curator of the National Voice Library, perhaps the most inclusive archive of historically significant recorded sound. The collection is housed on the fourth floor, west wing of the MSU Library. It contains actual recordings of events and personalities dating back as far as 1888. This is the ('ITst in a series of features by Vincent that will relate stories behind some of these recordings. One of the first recordings I ever made was of Theodore Roosevelt. I was only 12 years old at the time. After school, I published an amateur magazine called "The Boys' Paper." I got ads from various companies to pay for the printing, an~ I called on famous editors and invited them to write stories for my magazine. One day an associate editor of The Outlook magazine said he would like to introduce me to The Outlook's contributing editor. That was just what I'd hoped for, because the contributing editor was Theodore Roosevelt. On the appointed day in the magazine's offices, I was there, and Roosevelt appeared, beaming, showing his teeth. It was an early thrill for me. Early in 1912, when Roosevelt's friends prevailed upon him to run for president, we formed a club during the campaign and called it "The Boys' Progressive League." It was at.a session of this club that some members had the bright ideas to invite Teddy Roosevelt to address . our next meeting. We drove out to Oyster Bay, Roosevelt's home. Of course, we had a hard time even getting an audience with our hero. "I'm sorry Robert," he said, "but three other speaking I have engagements for that evening." But I replied: "Colonel, we thoughtsomething like that would be the case, so we brought an Edison cylinder phonograph, and all you have to do is speak into it and then we'll reproduce your voice at the meeting." Teddy looked cornered. "I never talk into a phonograph," he said, "it's against my principles ... " But when he saw our disappointment, he did permit us to set up the machine, cleared his throat and spoke: "In this way, I desire to greet the Boys' Progressive League at their meeting at the Hotel Manhattan ... I feel that the Progressive Party should appeal peculiarly to the young men who are to be the next generation of voters ... I wish to see you boys act as good citizens, in the sarJ;le way I'd expect any· one of you to act in a footbaIl game. In other words, don't flinch, don't foul and hit the line hard." (Next: The birth of the phonograph the words of Thomas Alva through Edison.) Around the campus: A weekly review Page 3, MSU NeWs - Bulletin, March 30, 1972 Law school recommended joint committee of the A special Le gislature the recently called for establishment of Michigan's third state - supported law school at MSU. Releasing its fmdings at a news conference, the committee recommended that the Legislature appropriate $796,114 to start the law school here. The committee also urged that the new school open as soon as pOSSible, hopefully by fall, 1972. The University has indicated that due to the vast amount of _planning and recruiting still to be done, Japuary, 1973, would be the earliest date the school could start. The law school proposal is now under the appropriation consideration by committees of the House and Senate as part of the University's general fund request and is expected to be discussed at budget hearings in mid - April. President Wharton expressed approval of the report, and he said he hoped the Legi sla t u re "y.rill a do pt the recommendation of its committee and appropriate the necessary planning funds which would permit us to launch the college at the earliest practable time." Food -group is created A Consortium for the Development of Technology has been formed by five U.S. university food science departments, including MSU's Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. "We are identifying pressing food technology problems of underdeveloped nations," say s Walter M. Urbain, professor of food science and campus representative of the group. He recently returned from a meeting of the experts in Guatemala. The unique organization of food technology experts, which first met last October has received through the Central American Research Institute for Industry $69,000 from the U.S. Agency for International Development. First project of the consortium is to work with five Central American countries investigating vital food trouble spots in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. The consortium will train U.S. and Central American personnel in problem areas of food science under a contract with the Central American Research Institute for Industry. Econ journal moves here The Journal of Economic Issues, a quarterly affiliated with the Association for Evolutionary Economics, will be this published from MSU beginning month. The journal was first published at the University of Texas in 1966 and later moved to the Boston campus of the University of Massachusetts. On this campus, it will be a joint venture of the Department of Economics and the Bureau of Business and Economic Research. topic of concern Warren J. Samuels, editor, says several innovations are planned for the journal. "We will publish a special issue each year on a single to institutional economists," he says. "In December we'll devote a special issue to incomes policy and other macroeconomic questions, and next year we hope to concentrate on the topic of law and economics." 'An era-has ended' " ... What we are talking about'is an open university, as open to the diversity and aspirations of its students, faculty and administration members as it professes to be open about ideas and scholarly pursuits. We are talking about a setting-in which democratic values and ideals can flower; a model community that can become a microcosm of what the larger society should be. "I do not believe that this can be achieved without continued student activism. To the degree that universities have changed, it is due to the intensity of student concern. The widely publicized demonstrations and campus risings of the late 1960s seem to have come to an end and the media are full of stories about student withdrawal, student apathy and student silence. We are told that the nation has achieved its long-sought-forcooling of the campus. "There are some parallels between the student movement and the civil rights movement, and it is because of those parallels that I am convinced that so-called 'student apathy is a myth. Black people, too, are said to be content with their lot since there have been no major riots in recent years. "Why does this society need to use violence and audible protest as a measure of people's attitudes toward inequality and injustice? The absence of campus unrest is a reflection not only of repressive measures in some states and or progressive reforms in others; it also signifies a new stage in the development of the university's institutional response to the challenge of change .... ''The era of demonstrations and confrontations has ended - both on-campus and off. nut, the revolution for human dignity continues, and there must be no confusion of style with substance. The 1970s will be a time of new issues demanding new techniques. The problems of democratizing the university and making it more responsive to the needs of the society it must serve will continue to be the focus of concern by the community of scholars and students commited to change. And the problems of democratizing the total society to be fully responsive to the needs of the poor and the black will continue to be the focus of concern by a broad coalition of white and black citizens ....

Executive Director, National Urban League A t winter commenc::ement, March 12 Seminar . serles opens Enrollment for the spring Faculty Seminars has been extended until April 7. Faculty members interested in enrolling should contact the seminar leader directly or attend the first or second session of the seminar. Spring seminars are: "Southeast Asia and. the Great Powers" with Wesley Fishel, professor of political science and of James Madison, Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.; and "The Psychology of Modernization" with Stanley Stark, professor of management, Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Both seminars will meet in a seminar room on the ground floor of the University Club.

Former counselor dies Services were held this week in Amherst, Mass .• for Mrs. Isabelle Gonon, former counselor for women at MSU who died March 25 in Amherst. She was 68. Mrs. Gonon first joined the -staff in 1944 and was named counselor for women the following year. She served in that post until her resignation in September of 1953. As counselor for women' she was in charge of the entire guidance program for coeds living in the residence halls and was faculty adviser for the many womens' organizations on campus. A graduate of Mt. Holyoke Coll~e, Mass., Mrs. Gononreceived her master's degree from Smith College, Mass., and studied for a year at the University of Paris"France, and Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. IRS reminder is issued The Internal Revenue Service has issued it reminder to working students to flIe form W-4E if they want their wages to be exempt from federal tax withholding. To qualify, a student must not have owed any income tax last year and expect not to owe :any this . ~ye!l,.!: Previously flIed W-4E forms expire on April 30. Students paid under the graduat~ the- student payroll must have exemption certificate on flIe at the Payroll Division; Office of the Comptroller, 350 Administration Building, by May 5. Other students must have the exemption " certificate flIed before May 12 in order to have income tax deductions reflected in subsequent checks. EQUAL PENSIONS URGED. A proposal has been made in the New York Legislature to change teachers' pensions and end a $2,800 - a - year advantage that, retired men now have over retired women. That figure was the annual income' difference cited in the case of identical 35-year careers by a man and a woman under New York's state pension system. A bill proposed would provide equal pensions for retired men and women teachers and would compensate for the fact that actuarial tables show that women have a longer life expectancy. * * * 100 GET RAISES. One hundred women at the University of Michigan have been granted pay r~ises totaling $94,295 as the result of reviews of salary equity in academic and nonacademic jobs. The raises were ordered effective Feb. 1 as part of U-M's affirmative action program. The total includes 52 faculty women (37 of them with teaching duties) and 48 nonacademic emplo.yes. Raises for faculty women ranged from $300 a year to $4,000 a year. * * * STUDENTS AND TRUSTEES. The Board of Trustees at Indiana University has agreed to allow student government presidents at the branch campuses to sit in on the board's executive (closed) sessions. Student government officers npw attend regular sessions and contribute to discussions, but they have no vote ... Also at Indiana, the university has announced plans to start a living -learning center next fall at Bloomington where about 150 students, most of them freshmen, will be housed in a residential "school within a school." the late 1960s concludes LEGISLATURE NEGLECTED. A new book that analyzes the trials of the University of Wisconsin during that Wisconsin experienced failures because certain administrators lacked respect for the state legislature. The book, "Academic Supermarkets," is a collection of articles that points- out, among other things, that former Wisconsin Pres. Fred H. Harrington's effort ti> "build a national university resulted in his neglect of the legislature and important segments of Wisconsin public opinion." The book also says that Wisconsin was ineffective in responding to crisis because of a confused faculty unwilling to wield sufficient power, and militant students who saw themselves apart from the rest of Madison and questioning authority. * * * LIQUOR POPULAR. A study at the University of Minnesota has revealed that while the use of illegal drugs by Minnesota students has increased over the past four years, alcohol continues to be the overwhelming "drug of preference." A health service survey that began with entering freshmen in 1967 shows that student experience with marijuana, LSD, amphetamines and barbiturates increased from 8 per cent to 46 per cent, but their use of alcohol jumped from 58 to 88 per cent. f Page 4, MSU News - Bulletin, March 30, 1972 Proposed Rights and Respon The outline I.

The program, proposed, planned and conducted' by students, will mn from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students training for various health professions will be on hand to discuss veterinary medicine, human medicine, osteopathic medicine, dietetics, speech and hearing, medical technology, music therapy, psychology, nursing, and social work. Open house activities will include the popular Vetavisit, staged for the 10th consecutive year at the small animal veterinary clinic. Students of all ages and their families, school groups and other youth organizations will tour the University's new Life Sciences Building, the Audiology and Speech Sciences Building, the medical laboratories of Fee Hall, as well as the Veterinary Clinic. Shuttle buses will link the four me dical education areas conducting open house activities. Sponsors of He al th Careers Day are the MSU Organization of Health Profession Students (OOHPS) and the Michigan Health Council. Nobel Laureate visit slated A good living example of the influence one person may have upon relationships between nations is that of Nobel Laureate Chen Ning Yarrg. His influence in physics, for which he won the Nobel Prize, is sufficient proof. Yang will visit campus next week and give a talk titled "My Impressions of the People's Republic of China" (Monday, 8 p.m., 108B Wells Hall). Recently, before President Nixon's visit to the Far East, Yang met with Premier Chou en - Lai and members of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences. He may have witnessed an historic social and political turning point. Similarly, he was amidst history - making of his own and his colleagues in physics when he helped to turn around an established doctrine. Physicists believed there were no exceptions to the law of parity - that is, until the idea was overthrown by Yang and T. D,' Lee. In 1957 they received the Nobel Prize for their theory which, simply put, said that nature - at the level does of elemental particles - discriminate between left and right. Previously, scientists had assumed that the elementary particles of nature, which make up the stuff of atoms, do not "distinguish" between right and left. Weak interactions of elemental particles that make up the universe is what Yang has helped fellow physicists to better understand. The big picture relationship between the particles is still anybody's guess. Chinese education, science and society is what Yang may help the audience, next week, to better understand. Again, as in high - energy physics, the future of the relationship between the American and Chinese cultures is anybody's guess. Yang earned the Ph. D. under Emico Fermi and Edward Teller. In 1949 he left for the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton where he later became professor of physics. He is currently at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. -PHILLIP E.
