faculty's  international role 

The  Ford  Foundation  has  awarded 
MSU a $200,000 grant to help develop a 
stronger  international  research  base  for 
faculty and students. 

"The  grant  will  support  faculty  and 
research,  symposia  and 
graduate 
workshops, 
resources  and 
library 
publications,"  says  Ralph H.  Smuckler, 
dean of international programs. 

Since  1960, the  Ford  Foundation  has 
awarded  MSU  $2.7  million  to  develop 
international studies. In  1958 and  1959, 

University-wide  faculty  seminars  were 
held  to  develop  a  blueprint  and  set 
objectives 
for  MSU's 
international 
dimension. 

Smuckler  said  that  results  of  these 
meetings  demonstrated  to  the  Ford 
Foundation  MSU's  serious  interest  in 
international  activities.  An  important 
part  of  this  interest,  he  noted, was  the 
University's  involvement  of  faculty  in 
the  planning  stages  of  international

programs.

Athletic Council keeps faculty 
voice in  intercollegiate sports 

By GENE :RIElFORS 
Editor:. F~ulty News 

The  win-or-Iose  destinies  of Michigan 
teams  rest  ~ith  the 
State's  athletic 
collective  talents  of  the  coaches  and 
players,  but the  policies  that govern the 
University's  total  athletic  program  are 
the  domain  of the  13-member Athletic 
Council. 

' 

Arid  majority  representation  on  the 

Council belongs t6  the faculty. 

. 

Fli'cuhy  control  is  intended  to "Keep 
athletics  in  some  sort  of  educational 
perspective,"  says  John  A- Fuzak, 
professor  and  director  of  advanced 
studies  in  the  College  of Education  and 
chairman of the Athletic Council. 

Fuzak  contends  that  faculty  here  do 
have  an '  impact  on  athietic  policy: 
directly, 
role  of .  the 
Council,  and  indirectly,  via  individual 
faculty 
student 
relationships  with 
athletes and coaches. 

through 

the 

"Our  main  concern  is  .to  recognize 

continually  that  athletics  is  part of the 
educational pro~ess /' he says. 

Fuzak  has  been  chairman  since  a day 
some  10 years ago when he accepted the 
~ssignment  "reluctantly,  but  with  the 
assurance  that  I  would  be  relieved  of 
some  other committee jobs." 

He  was  allowed  to  shed  the  other 
responsibHities,  and  he  has 
the 
distinction  of  the  longest  tenure  as 
council  chairman since MSU en tered the 
Big Ten in  1953. 

When  he  accepted  the  chairmanship, 
Fuzak  recalls, "it was not uncommon to 
hear 
particularly 
-
football 
- was  overemphasized  at 
Michigan State." 

that  athletics 

He  says  this  complaint is less frequent 
n,Ow  partly  because  there  are  greater 
restrictions  on  financial  aid  to athletes. 
At  the  same  time,  he  adds,  aid  to other 
students  with 
financial  need  has 
increased dramatically. 

In  fact,  Fuzak  has  heard  in  recent 

(continue~ on page 4) 

Direct  faculty  participation  may  soon 
become  more  prominent  in  the  area  of 
campus planning and design. 

An  assistant  professor  of humanities, 
Donald  S.  Gochberg,  is  spearheading  a 
movement  to  ask  the Academic Council 
to  create  a  new  alHJniversity  faculty 
standmg cominittee  that would Qffer its 
recommendations  "on  the location  and 
design  of major campus structures." 

Gochbe[g  says that  so  far  his plan has 
been  endorsed  by  about 25  faculty, and 
he  hopes to get "hundreds more." 

Iri . .a  "statement  of  faculty  interest" 
originated  by  Gochberg,  it  is  suggested 
that  a  committee  within  the  Council 
structure  "would  result  ultimately  in  a 
more  stimulating  and satisfying physical 
environment." 

It  adds:  "The  total  quality  of life  -
intellectual, social, professional - for all 
is  profoundly affected  by the  design  of 
our surroundings." 

The  statement  also  says that an early 
concern  of  the  proposed  committee 
"might  be  an  exploration  of  such 
concepts  as  architectural  competitions 
for  particularly  significant  structures, 
for example, a concert hall-auditorium." 
*  *  * 
ACCORDING  TO  GOCHBERG, there 
is  increasing  concern  among  faculty  to 
have  their  interests  in  environmental 
aesthetics  on 
the  campus  expressed 
through regular procedures. 

He  said  the  attempt  to  create  a  new 
standing  committee  involves  a  "basic

"But  I  think  we  could  have  done 

better," Boylan said.

New group  to .study  osteopathy 

An  ad  hoc  committee  of faculty  and

Provost  John  E.  Cantlon  to  review  the 
matter  of  establishing  a  College  of 
Osteopathic Medicine at MSU.

CIC: How  cooperation  builds 

By EDWARD ZABRUSKY 
Editor, News Bureau 

more  and  more  characterize 

The  consortium  arrangement  will 
the 
_ relationships  among  universities  in  the 
·future. 

This  approach  may  help  to  avoid 
costly  duplication  of certain  specialized 
programs  and  facilities,  reports  Milton 
E.  Muelder.  vice  president  for  research 
'development  and dean of the School for 
Advanced Graduate Studies. 

Voluntary  cooperati~n'  among 
institutions  of higher  learning  is already 
blossoming 
through  an  organization 
called  the  Committee  on  Institutional 
Cooperation (CIC). 

'and

Its  members 

the  Big  Ten 
univefsities 
the  University  of 
Chicago,  which,  Muelder  points  out, 
probably  have  more  in  common  than 
any  corresponding  group  of universities 
in the nation. 

The  CIC  was  established  in  1958  by 
.the  presidents,'  of 
the  participating 
'universities.  It· 'is  ·housed  at  Purdue 
for  administrative 
University 
convenience  where  a  professional  staff 
assists  groups  interested  in  developing 
cooperative projects. 

But  in  operative  terms,  the  CIC  is 
faculty-oriented,  since  faculty  of  the 
participating  institutions  conceive  and 
initiate  many  proposals  for  cooperative 
action. 

*  * * 
FACULTY  SUGGESTIONS 

for 
possible  cooperafion  can be given to the 
institutionalCIC  member (Provost John 
Cantlon  at  MSU).  In  some  instances 
. "seed  grants"  are  available  to  facult; 
groups  that  are  exploring  cooperative 
programs. 

All  projects  are  developed  and 
conducted  voluntarily,  with  no 
that  all  II  institutions 
requirements 
agree  on  a  program  before 
is 
launched.

The  CIC  operates 

three  major 
categories:  panels,  conference  groups 
and subcommittees.

.... 

The  panel  is  a work group  of facuIty 
or  administrative 
representatives 
established  by  official  CIC  action  to 
conduct  specific  studies,  projects  or 
programs. 

One  of  the  most significant  examples 
is  the  Traveling Scholar Program  which 
allows  doctoral  students  to  spend  two 
quarters  or  one  semester  at  a  CIC 
institution  offering  a

exploratory  meetings  to initiate  project

Subcommittees,  which  constitute  the 
CIC's 
initiate  and 
oversee studies that involve broad policy 
considerations 
in  major  areas.  As 
examples,  there  were  subcommittees on 
the  disadvantaged, 
international 
programs,  regional  higher  education, 
television and computers. 

"It  is  impossible,"  Muelder  explains, 
"for one  university  to provide resources 
and  expertise  in  all  the  fields  of human 
knowledge  which  are  required  today." 
*  *  * 
THROUGH  THE  CIC,  and 
particularly 
its  Traveling 
through 
Scholar  Program,  each  institution  can 
capitalize  on the strengths of the others. 
And  a  student  can  fill  in  the  gaps  that 
otherwise  might  have  forced  him  to 
transfer 
to 
to  another 
complete his doctorate. 

institution 

"We  recognize  that  certain  disciplines 
must  be  duplicated  at each institution," 
Muelder  says.  "These  would  include 
strong  departments 
the 
French-German languages. 

in 

"But it is  not necessary for all  of them 
to have  the  same expertise in  African  or 
Asia tic 
languages  or  classical 
archaeology,  or  for  all  schools to have  a 
such  as  we 
sophisticated  cyclotron 
have." 

The  Traveling  Scholar  liaison  officer 
here  is  Clarence  W.  Minkel,  associate 
dean  in  advanced  graduate  studies.  He 
notes  that  the  program  is  not  large in 
numbers  and  is  not  likely  to  ever  be, 
due  to  the  very  specialized  needs  of 
specific students. 

Since  it was  established  six  years  ago, 

the  Traveling  Scholar  Program  has 
enabled  725  graduate  students  to cross 
institutional  lines  with  a  minimum  of 
"red tape." 

They  might  use  such  resources  as  a 
specialized  course  offering,  an  eminent 
faculty member, a rare library collection 
or  an outstanding laboratory or research 
facility.

APPLICATION  FOR  ADMITTANCE 
to  the  program  must  be  approved  first 
by  the  student's  graduate  adviser  and 
respective  department

the 
chairmen  and 
the  deans  of  both 
institutions involved. 
indicates 

that  MSU  has 
the 
from 
profited  more,  perhaps, 
Traveling  Scholar  Program  than  have 
some  other CIC  institutions. Last year it 
sent 17 students and received nine. 

Muelder 

The  University  of Chicago,  according 
to last year's report received 40 students 
from  other  institutions  and  sent  13. 
Wisconsin,  for  example,  sent  19  and 
received  8.  Michigan  sent  15  and 
received  13. 

Muelder  points  out  that  the CIC  also 
provides  a  meeting ground for a number 
of groups  from  the  11  institutions. One 
of  the  most  fruitful  conferences,  he 
notes,  is  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
gradua te  deans  concerned  with 
programs 
from 
disadvantaged backgrounds.
