MEA  group files  a  new bargaining petition 

Representatives  of  the  MSU  Faculty 
Associates  (MSUF A)  have  reported that 
the group is filing a new petition with the 
Michigan  Employment  Relations 
Commission (MERC) to ask for a campus 
election  to  determine a bargaining agent 
for faculty. 

William  Owen  of 

the  Michigan 
Education  Association  (with  which 
the

He  reported  that the petition contains 
authorization  cards signed by more  than 
30 percent of the defined bargaining unit 
tentatively  agreed  upon  in  March  by 

representatives of the Faculty Associates, 
the  American  Association  of University 
Professors, the University administration 
and MERC (News - Bulletin, March 9). 

Owen  said  "there  was  no  question" 
that MSU - FA has mOre  than 30 percent 
of  the  some  2,460  faculty  wheT  would 
constitute that unit. 

He added that while an election date is 
subject  to negotiation,  he  assumed  that 
one could be set for next fall.

The campus begins to bloom 

It's finally here - spring, that is. Ample evidence is offered on the campus itself, 

where a variety of flowers and other plants are just starting to bloom. 

A story summarizoig some of those flowers  and plants  - and  where  they  can

Tenure:  Taking an irreverent look 

The  following  views  are  those  of  Florence  Moog,  professor  of  biology  at 
Washington  University,  St.  Louis. They  are from  a paper presented at the recent 
conference of the  American  Association  for Higher  Education. The article here, 
adapted from that paper, is excerpted from the April  10 issue of The Chronicle of 
Higher Education. 
*  *  * 
Tenure in a sense merely wraps up academic freedom  andjob security in one neat 
package; but it does  so  in  a way  that provides little  chance  for  redress  when  the 
tenured individual fails to live up to his academic responsibilities ... 

. . . as a veteran of 40 years in the academic ranks, I subscribe to Nat Hentofrs view 
that  tenure  protects against everything but "death, retirement,  or  assassinating  a 
member of the board of trustees." 

In practice, routine incompetence and neglect are no threat to the security of the 
tenured. The  system  lacks  accountability,  and hence  it is  left  free  to damage  the 
interests of students, hamper the careers of scholars beyond the pale, and tarnish the 
image of the university. 

According  to  the  present  rules,  a  decision  on  tenure must be made  before an 
assistant professor reaches the end of his sixth year of teaching. Ifhis colleagues have 
considered his record conscientiously and fairly, there is a good expectation that the 
man they have recommended will continue to carryon significant scholarly work in 
his own special area, that he will teach effectively and not evade his responsibilities as 
a  teacher,  and  that  he  will  assume  his  share  of the jobs that are  summed up  as 
"community service." 

In  return,  the  young  professor expects  that he  will  be  immune  from  arbitrary 
dismissal, even  though he may pursue  inquiries  and advocate  views  not generally 
approved  or  accepted. The  modal  age  at  which  tenure  is  granted being  about 32 
years, the period of immunity is likely to be ... about 35 years. 

At  this  point  we  have  to  confront  the  discrepancies  between  the  theory and 
practice  of  tenure.  The  theory,  as  promulgated by  the  American  Association  of 
University Professors, says that a person may lose tenure for "gross incompetence, 
gross  neglect,  moral  turpitude,  or  conviction  for  treason."  (It is  interesting that 
simple unqualified incompetence and neglect are not reason for interrupting a 35 -
year guarantee of employment,) 

Let us take the hypothetical case of a man who manages to clear the tenure hur-dIe 
at 33. Fifteen years later, his scholarly work has dwindled into trivia or nothingness, 
his  teaching has become  dull  and stereotyped, his "community service" has faded 
away because he fails to take any interest in it. What are  the chances that this man 
will lose  his tenure'?  The records indicate that the chances are all but nonexistent. 
Merely failing to measure up to any or all  of the responsibilities that tenure should 
carry with it is no cause for losing tenure. Our hypothetical sluggard will continue to 
be employed; and if he does nothing else, he will continue to teach. The students will 
have to bear it somehow .... 

* *  * 
IF THE V ALUES  of the past are  to be  conserved, we  will have  to get rid of the 
obsession  that  the tenured professoriate must be a law unto itself ... The possible 
alternatives seem to be to replace tenure with renewable contracts, or to acquiesce in 
a system of collective bargaining. 

The  latter,  though  it  is  already  serving  the interests of unteoured majorities in  a 
number of large  universities, is  now  well  - suited to an enterprise in which people 
need to function  as individuals.)  feel  that contracts offer the more feaSible, as well 
as the more desirable, solution. 

The distinct ion  between tenured and nontenured faculty should be abolished. The 
present  probationary  p~riod might  be  replaced  by  a se'rie's 'oH1I.orf.'dontfdcts,  of 
perhaps three years, followed by longer contracts, possibly of seven years. Each seven 
- year con tract would include a sabbatical year, which  in case of nonrenewal might 
facilitate  the  search  or  preparation  for  new employment. Since faculty people are 
not always equally strong in  teaching and research, I like Paul Woodring's suggestion 
that each faculty member 'should have the option, at tbe end of each contract period, 
of having his performance evalua ted as  a whole, or primarily in terms of his teaching 
or ltis research. 

When a young man is granted tenure, it is because, among other reasons, his area of 
expertise  fills  a need of his department. Obviously the scholar must himself be the 
.judge  of the direction in which his work will go; but tenure can be interpreted as a

license to abandon the area of specialty for something more attractive, whether the 
change  is  in  the  general  interest  or  not.  Thus  we  have  such  extravagances  as  a 
department recommending for tenure a third specialist in a minor though important 
field - because the flISt two had lost interest in the field .... 

Replacing tenure by renewable contracts would admittedly lessen the security of 
many faculty appointments. If a system such as I have outlined were to be put into 
effective operation, some people would be cut off short of retirement age. 

It is  my own  feeling  that the magnitude of this problem is often exaggerated by 
people who  seem  to assume  that under a  system of contracts dismissals would be 
commonplace.  On  the  contrary,  it  is  likely  that  the  knowledge  that  one's 
performance would be  reviewed  at  intervals would in  itself take  care  of much 'of 
slackness that must now be tolerated. 

* * * 
BUT WHAT OF ACADEMIC freedom? Though tenure may be challenged on other 
grounds, it is widely regarded as iildispensable because it guards the freedom of each 
scholar to think independently and to express his opinions without fear of reprisal. 
In today's climate,  the end of a contract period would no doubt be seized on in 
some  cases  as  a means of ridding  the campus  of an  able  teacher  and scholar who 
advocated  views unpopular with higher authorities on and off the campus. 

The  renewal  procedllIes  would  have  to  be  hedged  about  with  guarantees  of 
academic  due  process  similar  to those  that  now exist. It would be important to 
establish that the renewal of a seven - year contract would be earned by satisfactory 
service, not merely given, as is true of the granting of tenure today, for reasons that 
are neither defmednor defmable. 

Amid the clamor that we must retain tenure  to protect academic freedom, a rude 
question  goes  almost  unasked:  Academic  freedom  for  whom?  Not  for  blacks, 
certainly. Not for women. I assert that tenure has been<asignificant item among the 
procedures  that have  kept the  faculties  of colleges and universities in tlUs country 
overwhelmingly white and male - and altogether complacent about the situation. 

I am not contradicting my assertion that academic freedom is not obsolete. What is 
worn out is the view that the protection of tenure assures society that the faculties of 
its educational  institutions will be made up of free  minds, independent in  thought 
and courageous in advocacy. 

On the contrary, the system has produced a squirearchy unquestioningly content 
to perpetuate  its  own limitations. Abolishing tenure isn't going to cure everything 
that's wrong on our campuses, much less elsewhere. But I think it is it step toward a

more open and a more  altruistic' society. 

History in  sound 
FDR calls  a  holiday 

(Actual  recordings  that  detail  this  and

Voice  Library on the  fourth  floor  of the

By G.  ROBERT VINCENT 
Curator, Nationa' Voice Libnuy 
When one looks back over the years, 
certain  occasions  are 
indelibly 
engraved in the mind. One such date is 
Saturday, March 4, 1933. 

The  whole  country  was  suffering 
from the most severe depression in its 
history.  Hard times  had been with us 
for several years, and no relief seemed 
in  sight.  The  American  people 
demar.ded  change,  and 
they  had 
elected  a  new  President,  Franklin D. 
Roosevelt. Here is part of his inaugural 
address: 

" ... This is pre -eminently the time 
to  speak  the  truth,  the  whole  truth; 
frankly  and boldly  .  .  . Nor need we 
shrink  from  honestly  facing 
conditions in  our country today  ... 
This great nation will endure, as it has 
endured, will revive and will prosper .. 

. So, first of all, let me assert my firm 
belief that the  only thing we have to 
fear  is  fear  itself,  nameless, 
unreasoning, unjustified terror, which 
paralyzes  needed  effort  to  convert 
retreat in'to' a<lvahce ... " 

That  was  Saturday.  On 

the 
foHowing  Monday  morning,  we 
discovered  that  the  new 
administration had closed every  bank 
in  the  country. It was a bank holiday 
to stabilize the fmancial structure. All 
the  money you could lay your hands 
on  was  what  was  in  your  pocket. 
to 
People  somehow  found  ways 
weather the situation. 

FDRmade this explanation: 
" ... I want to tell you what has been 
done  in  the  last few days, why it was 
done and what the next steps are going 
to  be.  The  bank  holiday,  while 
resulting  in  many  cases  of  great 
inconvenience,  is  affording  us  the 
opportunity  to  supply  the  currency 
necessary to meet the situation. _ . Let 
me  make  it  clear  that the  banks  will 
take  care  of all  needs  - and it is my 
belief 
that  hoarding during  the  past 
week  has  become  an  exceedingly 
unfashionable pastime ... I can assure 
you  that  it  is  safer  for  you to keep 
your money in a reopened bank than 
to keep it under the mattress ... " 
The  courage,  the  vigor 

the 
confidence  in  the  voice  of Roosevelt 
prevented hysteria. I had less thailfive 
dollars  but, like  so many others, was 
struck by the novelty of the move. We 
were  all 
the  same  boat.  The 
declarations  during the first  100 days 
of the New Deal are an important part 
of our social history and are preserved 
in the National Voice Library.

Council defers grievance action 

Discussion  on  possible  amendments 

to  the  proposed  interim  grievance 
procedures  will  continue  at  an  Elected  Faculty  Council meeting  scheduled for  2 
p.m. May 9 in the Con Con  Room of the International Center. 

-

E.  Fred  Carlisle,  associate  professor  of English  and  chairman  of the  ad  hoc 
committee  which  originally  drafted  the  procedures,  offered  several  amendments 
which  he  said  would  guarantee  representation  of  nontenured  faculty  on  the 
proposed  University  hearing  panels  (to  hear  nonreappointment  appeals);  would 
establish  a  long-term  Appeals  Board;  «move  the  faculty  closer  to  a  unified 
grjevance  'procedure~'  and  would  not  replace  orpreempt  the  traditional  role  of 
the  University Corrunjttee on -Faculty Tenure (FfC). 

FTC  Chairman  Wilbur  Brookover,  professor  of  sociology  and  education, 
disagreed,  citing  the  FTC  charge  in  the  Bylaws of Academic  Governance  as  the 
"judicial and investigatory agency for all tenure actions." 

EFC  member  Chitra  Smith,  associate  professor  in  James Madison,  suggested 

amendments to  support Brookover's stance. 

-

The  proposed  grievance  procedures were  returned  to  the EFC  by the Board of 
Trustees  who  questioned  a  provisjon  which  excluded  matters  of  tenure, 
reappointment, etc.,from  the  purview  of the  procedures.  That provision had been 
inserted by the EFC  upon the recommendation of the FTC. 

* * * 
The  Academic  Council met  after the  EFC  meeting  Tuesday and heard a status 
report  from  the  educational  poliCies  committee  regarding  a proposed  college  of 
urban development (see related story, page 4). 

And  the  Council,  after  lengthy  debate, voted to  amend  the bylaws to  clarify 
regulations  on  Council  student  members-at-Iarge  elections.  The  section  had been 
deemed  by the  StUdent-Faculty J\ldiciary to be  in conflict with other sections of 
the bylaws. 

-
So  th~  section  (4.4.3.8.)  was  changed  from 

''To  ensure  a  systematic 
representation of the views  of nonwhites and  women ... "  to:  "To ensure  that the 
student  representation  shall  include  women  and  members of nonwhite minority 
groups ... " 

--

-

This  was  a  substitute  action  for  amendments  proposed by the Committee on 
Academic  Governance  (CAG)  which  would  have  removed  specific  minority 
provisions  and  placed  student  membership  on  college  bases;  similar  to  that  of 
faculty. 

Steering  committee  ballots out 
Ballots were sent out Monday to all Academic Senate members for the election of 

two persons to the Steering Corrunjttee of the Faculty. 

Two  vacancies  are  being  left  by  Gordon Guyer,professor  of entolomogy  and 
current steering conunittee chairman, and Thomas Greer, professor of humanities. 
Nominated  to  ml  the  two  vacancies  are:  William  D. -Collings,  professor  of 
physiology; Daniel F. Cowan, associate professor of pathology; Eli P. Cox, professor 
of  marketing  and  transportation  administration;  Martin  C.  Hawley,  associate 
professor  of chemical engineering; Chitra M.  Smith, associate  professor in James 
A.L. 
Madison College; Dozier W. Thornton, associate professor of pyschology; 
Thurman, professor of American  thought and language;  and 
Duane L. Gibson, 
noncollege faculty. 

The two winners will bl) announced at the May 30 Academic Council meeting. 

Alumnus wins Pulitzer Prize 
A 1969 graduate of MSU's School of Journalism has just received a Pulitzer Prize 

for his coverage of the prisoner revolt at Attica State Prison in New York. 

Richard Cooper won the award as  a reporter with the Rochester,  N.Y.,  Times 

Union. 

Frank B. Senger, chairman of joumaIism, expressed pleasure  for Cooper and said it 

was unusual for such a prize to be won by so recent a graduate. 
This is the second Pulitzer Prize for MSU alumni. Howard James, a radio- television 
graduate, won the prize in 1969 for his reporting in the Christian Science Monitor. 

Cooper's advisor, Mary Gardner, associate  professor  of journalism, said she was 

"bowled over" when he called her wi th the news Monday night. 
-Cooper transferred to MSU in  1967 from Grand Rapids 'Junior-College .. 

Hexachlorophene:  Use  discreetly 
Microbiologists Thomas R. Comer and Philipp Gerhardt, reporting on a decade of 
research on effects of hexachlorophene, say that concentration of the chemical in a 
consumer product "has much to do with its effects on bacteria." 

Comer told the American Society for Microbiology last week that relatively large 

amounts of the chemical are used where small amounts are all that are needed. 

"Hexachlorophene 

is  more  disruptive  to  cells  at  high  and  medium 
concentrations,"  Corner  said,  "but  it  acts  in  a  more  subtle  fashion  at  lower 
concentrations which are still lethal to the bacteria." 

The  cell  wall  of a bacterium, crudely  similar  to  the  shell  around  an  egg,  seems 
unaffected by hexachlorophene,  the MSU  researchers  found.  But not so with the 
membrane beneath the cell wall. 

"There is a dramatic pathological effect produced in the membrane," said Comer. 
First the respiration by the bacteria is inhibjted. This is the primary action which 
kills  the germs  the  scientists found.  At high  concentrations  the  hexachlorophene 
disrupts  the membrane and then small, vital, molecules leak from the baeterial cen 
membrane. 

Finally, at even higher concentrations, the hexachlorophene coagulates contents 
ofthe bacterium, much as heat coagulates the-white of aD egg. 
Is hexachlorophene safe for the_~'educate.d" consumer? 

In an  interview, Gerhardt, chairman of microbiology, said that daily bathing and 
other prolonged exposures  to  mucous membranes or very absorptive skin, such as 
with infants, should be avoided. But he praised hexachlorophene for its effectiveness 
against germs carried on the skin and superficial skin infections. 

"Ordinary use with rinsing is safe," he said. 
"Misuse  of hexachlorophene began when the patent which allowed ~ation of 

its use by itsmanufacturer became expired," said Gerhardt. 

Often advertised  as  a germ inhibitor, hexachlorophene is really a killing agent of 

bacteria, the researchers found. 

"Unfortuantely,  hexachlorophene  has  often  been  used  in  much  greater 
concentrations  than  are  necessary  to  kill  germs,"  Gerhardt  said.  "Problems  of 
toxicity result." 

Withholding  deadline  near 

PreViOusly  filed  W4E withholding forms have expire'd;and students need to me 
new foons if they want their wages to be exempt from federal tax withholding. To 
qualify,  a  student must not have owed any income tax la~tyear and expect not to 
owe any t his year. 

Fiiday (May 5) is the deadline  for students on  the gr-aduate student payroll to file 
exemption certificates at the Payroll Division (350 Adrruiristtation Building) in time 
for the next pay period. May 12 is the deadline for other 'studeJits. 

Clyde  Dow dies April 25 

Clyde W.  Dow, professor of teacher education at Michigan State University, died 

last week (April 25) in Prescott, Ariz. He was 64. 

Mr. Dow, was coordinator of MSU's student teaching acitvities in the Lansing area 

for 12 years until last fall, and was to retire in September. 

Born  in  Wakefield,  Mass.,  he  held  a  bachelor's  degree  from. Emerson College, 
Boston, a master's from the University of Massachusetts, and tlle Ed.D. from MSU. 
He taught English at the University of Massachusetts and the University of Denver 
before  joining  the  MSU  English  facuIty  in  1945.  He  was  acting  head  of the 
Department of Written and Spoken English in 1948 - 49, and associate professor in 
that department through 1955 when he became a professor of teacher education. 

Mr. now is survived by his widow, Wilma, and  two daughters, Mrs. Ruth ThurJby 
of  Lansing  and  Mrs.  Judith  Clinton  of  Mulliken.  His  ashes  were  taken  to 
Massachusetts for burial. 

Despite  thefts,  the sho w goes on 

',., 

Seven inmates of Southern Michigan Prison got an unhappy object lesson about 
crime  last  week.  Eight  of their  paintings  - on  display  for  an  art  show  - were 
stolen. 

The  thefts  temporarily  jeopardized  the  future  of the  inmate  art  program_ 
sponsored  by a host of MSU  academic  departments  and  the State Department of 
Corrections.  Security  of the  art works was never  a problem in the program's first 
nine years. 

But this year's  show will go  on, said  William  S. Gamble, associate professor of 
art  who discovered the overnight  thefts from  his arrangements in the corridors of 
Kellogg Center. 

Thirty-- one  works by  16 inmate artists had been selected to be shown at MSU 

starting Monday and conWiuing through June 17. 

-

A value of $491 was placed on the stolen pieces by Gamble, a consultant to tl.e 
program  since  its  start  at  the Jackson prison in  1962. Sale  of the  art works has 
been  encouraged each year  as having  a  "rehabilitative value" for the inmates. 

Two  of the  inmate  artists are  instructors for the art program sponsored by the 
Center  for  Urban  Affairs,  Departments  of  Art  and  Psychology,  Schools  of 
Criminal Justice  and  Social  Work, Volunteer Programs and Continuing Education 
Service.

allowances beginmng July  1.  A new policy eliminates per diem rates for  hotel 
and food reimbursement, raises both in - state and out- of - state meal 
allowances, 
and raises the mileage allowance for private cars from 10 to 11 cents a mile. The new 
meal allowances are  $9.25 a day for in -state and $10 a day for out-of -state travel,

the  College  of Arts  and Sciences. The  legal  opinion, by the  CU  resident  counsel, 
reaffirmed the university's contracts with the ROTC units and ruled that the faculty 
motion of May, 1970, was "advisory only." Since that motion was passed, students 
in the college had not been receiving credit for ROTC courses.

Wharton:  Build black intellectual power 

Entry of more  blacks  into  university graduate  programs is the key to wider 
use  and influence  of black intellectual power, President Wharton said last week 
(April  28) in an address at  the  second  annual symposium on the "State of the 
Black  Economy" in Chicago. 

Wharton  called for  a new federal  fmancial  aid  program to encourage blacks 
and  other  minorities  to  enter  graduate  study  in  science,  business  and-other 
areas where they are  underrepresented. 

Here  are  excerpts  from  that  address,  "Reflections  on  Black  Intellectual 

Power." 

*** 

. It is often  said  that the 

problems  of the  black  community  have  been 
.studied  to  death  and  that  nothing ever  results.  My  answer  is  that  the  problems 
will not be fully solved until we  have  a critical mass of black intellectual 'power. 

While  there  is  a  deplorable  continuation  of  income  differen!ials  between 
blacks  and  whites  with  comparable  levels  of  education,  the  fact  remains  that 
education,  and  especially  higher  education, continues to  be  a major  factor in the 
progress of black society. 

Recent  years have  witnessed  a  dramatic  increase  in  the total number of blacks 
attending  colleges and  universities  . .. even  more  significant  has been the shift in 
attendance patterns toward predominantly white institutions. 

The  predominantly black  institutions must  continue  to  provide  education for 
large  numbers :>f  our youth for whom this is the only access to higher education 
. ..  These  institutions  must  be  strengthened  if  another  doubling  of  black 
enrollments  is  to  be  achieved by  1980. The  strengthening  of the predominantly 
black  institutions must  be placed  high on the  agenda of any program aimed at an 
increase in black intellectual power.

THE  RAPIDITY  WITH  which  the  predominantly  white , institutions  have 
responded  with escalating  enrollments of black students has brought in its wake a 
host  of  problems.  Most  difficulties  have  stemmed  from  the  lack  of  prior 
preparation  or  planning  for  such  students  and  the  absence  of prior  experience 
with students from such backgrounds. 

Despite  the  reality  of these  frictions,  I  would  maintain  that  the  long  - run 
challenges  to  the  predominantly  white  colleges  and  universities  of  increased 
numbers of black  students do not lie in the personal and social areas. The greatest 
challenges posed are academic. 

. 

First  there  is  the  challenge  of moving  black  students  away  from  traditional 
fields  such as education and  into. neglected  fields  such as  science  ... They must 
acquire marketable skills which will lead to positions of influence and power. 

The  second  major challenge  to  such institutions is internal- how to provide a 

meaningful and relevant education. 

The  long  - standing  elitist  patterns of  higher  education  whether  based upon 
socia  - economic  factors  of  birth  or  intellectual  attainment  is  crumbling. 
Admitting  only  the  brightest  10  percent  of  high  school  graduates  and  then 
spewing  them forth four years later  is  no  longer  accepted  as a valid  discharge  of 
our educational obligation. 

Educating the talented  and gifted youth, while  important and rewarding, does 
not  challenge  the  intellectual  skills  of our  colleges  and  universities.  The  greater 

Two  urban  affairs models 
offered in  report from  EPC 

Two  alternative  models  - one  for  a 
degree-granting,  college,  and the other for 
a  less  fonnal  program  to  offer  only 
courses  certification  -
have  been 
presented by the University ~ucational 
Policies Committee. 

' 

The  EPC  released  the two  proposals 
to  the  Academic  Council  Tuesday  and 
reported  that 
it  "expresses  no 
preference  for  one  over' the  other." 
They  will  be  discussed  by  the  Council 
onMay9. 

The  proposals  are  the  result  of  a 
March  resolution  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  affinning  MSU's  commitment 
to  solving  urban  problems  and  asking 
that President Wharton {Iesent a proposal 
at the Board's May meeting. 

One  of  the  EPC  proposals  would 
create  a  College  of  Urban  and 
Metropolitan  Development  to  provide 
degree  programs within  a "formal set of 
relationships with existing units." 

The  other  proposal  -

for  an  Office 
of  Urban  and  Metropolitan  Programs 
and Studies,  and  for  a  School of Racial 
and  Ethnic  Studies  - would  be 
"horizontal  in  thrust  and  emphasize 
informal, voluntary relationships." 

In  its  report,  EPC 

listed  several 
similarities including:  Either  unit would 
be  headed  by  a  dean and charged  with 
deve 10 ping  urban-metropolitan 
programs;  each  would  relate  ongoing 
urban-metropolitan  programs  to 
its 
problem-oriented  activities;  creation  of 
a  racial  and  ethnic  studies  unit; 

emphasis  on  re~earch . to  develop  a 
knowledge  base;  and  an  extension 
service  to  cooperate  and  coordinate 
with  existing  MSU  public  service 
activities. 

EPC  urged  that  a  dean  of  either  a 
college  or  another  unit,  once  selected, 
"work with selected  faculty or a regular 
faculty  group  t o  develop  detailed  plans 
for  the  proposed  academic  unit  SO  that 
the  program ... will  have  maximum 
acceptance  in  the  University 
community."

*** 
EVEN GREATER disagreerrent has taken  place  over  the  relevance  for  blacks  of 
current  course  offerings and  curricula.  Recall  the early  push for  "Black  Studies" 
programs.  It is  no  accident  that this early  push has waned  as many graduates fail 
to  meet  the  test  of  marketability.  Some  fields  of study  such  as  urban  affairs  and 
local  public  administration  do  require  alteration  either  to  include  neglected 
dimensions  t o  infuse  new competencies, Othe rs such as brain surgery or computer 
science have  no  special ethnic or racial b ias,., 

The  third  challenge  which  is  faced  in  the  development  of black  intellectual 

manpower is financiaL 

I  am  disturbed  by  the  growing  movement  toward  loans,  especially  income 
contingency  loan  plans where  students borrow  for  their education  and  repay  on 
the  basis  of  a  flxed  percentage  of  their  future  income.  While  superfiCially 
attractive,  most .plans  which I  have  examined  have  a number of serious flaws, not 
the  least  of which  is  a  high  degree  of selectivity  such that participation will be 
concentrated among those  students with lower incomes ... 

There  is  an even more serious financial threat that the current levels of funding 
for  many  student  federal financial  aid programs will be drastically reduced by the 
present  Congress.  Each  of  you  .  ,  .  who  cares  about  quality  higher  education 
opportunity  for  black  youth  needs  to  be  aware  that  the  efforts in  Congress to 
attach  an  antibusing  amendment  to  the  higher  education  bill  has  deflected 
attention away  from  the far  more  dangerous  possibility of a reduction in funding 
for  Equal  Opportunity  Grants,  Work  - Study  Pl9grams  and  National  Student 
Defense Loans.

I  BELIEVE  THAT  it  is  time  that  the  federalgqvernment,  both the  Nixon 
Administration  and the Congress, bring  about  a  reversal  in our current priorities. 
But  while  we  work  toward  that  wider  goal,  I  would  like  to  suggest  an area 
where  we  should apply  a more immediate and narrower focus.  This is on the need 
to finance more black entrants into graduate studies. 

Black  men  and  women  in  increasing  numbers  are  recognizing  the  need  for 
advanced  studies ... But the  road  is  a  difficult  one. Many black students have  a 
difficult  enough  financial  struggle  to  obtain even  their bachelor's degree  without 
faCing the formidab Ie  task of paying for additional years of graduate study ... 

I  would like  to  propose  special recognition of this need  in our national higher 
education  legislation.  This  should take the form of direct grants - not loans -
for 
students who  have  finished  their bachelor's degrees and who  are qualified to enter 
specific graduate diSCiplines where minorities are  in Short  supply . .. 

The  goal is  clear.  If the  black economy  is  to  prosper,  if the black society is to 
forge  ahead,  if our black people  are  to  flourish,  we  must  strengthen  and  expand 

our base of intellectual power.  ...  • 

Presidents endorse proposal 

At  a  meeting  this  week.  in  Chicago,  the  Big  Ten Presidents  adopted  a 

resolution incorporating a proposal by President Whar~Qo . 

ReCOgnizing  the  problems of "serious cootjJ:l.Uing  fi$cal  problems"  and 
"persona1  financial  difficulties"  often  faee~  by  undergraduate  minority 
and  women  students  who  are  potential graduate  students, the  presidents 
strongly  urged  the  federal  government  and  private  agenCies  to  consider 
"development  of  major  funding  for  graduate  studies  for  minorities  and 
women." 

The  resolution  also  urges  use  of "the forgiveness  feature of NDEA and 
of fellowships or grants,  rather than loans, in key priority areas of study." 
The  resolution  has  gone  to  the  U.S.  Commissioner of Education ,  the 
president  of the  American  Council on Education  and  presidents of major 
foundations. 

Need a  mathematician's help? 
Math faculty  offers its services 

The  mathematics  ,de-partment 
doesn't want  the  campus community to, 
think  that  mathematicians  are 
necessarily  introspective  or  indifferent, 
according  to  Marvin  Tomber, professor 
of  mathematics.  So 
the  Mathematics 
Consulting  Service  (MaCS)  was  set  up 
last term. 

And  now mathematicians are helping 
a  music instructor figure a mathematical 
theory  for  the  best placing of holes in a 
flute for the best tone. 

Another  mathematician  is  working 
on  baby  pigs'  with  the  College  of 
Human  Medicine in trying to figure  out 
how infants absorb glucose. 

And  another  is  working  with 
physiologists  on  building  a 
mathematical  model  to  determine  the 
movement  of  cerebral  spinal  fluid 
through the body. 

The  MaCS 

includes  a  listing  of 
mathematics  faculty and specialty areas. 
The  idea  is  for  faculty  or  graduate 
students  in  other  departments,  with  a 
mathematical  problem  or  "a  problem 
which  appears  to  be  amenable  to  a 
mathematical  treatment,"  to  feel  free 
to consult with  one of the listed faculty 
members,  according  to  the  MaCS 
pamphlet. 

It  is  a  voluntary  effort  from 
mathematics  faculty,  and  is  further 
explained  as  a  rejuvenation of the  field 
through  reaching  outside  for  new  areas 
of research. 

In  its  short  lifespan,  MaCS  has 
received  several  responses,  Tomber said, 
from  such  varied  departments as  dairy, 
philosophy,  economics  and 
management,  besides  human  medicine, 
physiology and music.

Cantlon outlines 'potent mix'  of problems

MSU  - decreases  in  [mahcial  support 
and  in  public  confitiem:e,  potential 
unionization  of  faculty :  student

according  to  Provost  John  E.  Cantlon. 

Environmental 
law  is  topic 

Joseph  L.  Sax,  a  noted 
environmental law professor  and author 
will  present  the  Distinguished  Lectures 
in  Agriculture  and  Natural  Resources 
today and Friday. 

Sax, University of Michigan professor 
of law,  has  written  several  books  and 
articles  and  is  the  author  of  the 
Michigan  Environmental Protection Act 
(EPA),  passed  by  the  State  LegiSlature 
in 1970. 

Sax  will  present  a  seminar  on  the 
"Cost  of  Environmental  Litigation," 
today  at  2  p.m.  in  Room  158  of the 
Natural  Resources  Building.  At  8 
tonight,  he  will  give  a  lecture  on 
"Michigan's  Environmental  Protection 
Act:  A  Progress Report." This lecture is' 
open  to the public and will be held in the 
Fairchild Theatre. 

The  final  presentation  in  the  series 
will  be  a  seminar  on  "Environmental 
Regulation:  Private Property  and Public ' 
Rights,"  at  10 a.m. Friday in Room  132 
of Hubbard Hall. 

In  a  speech  last  week  (April  27)  to 
the  Faculty  Women's  Association, 
Cantlon  cited - the  fact  that  state  and 
federal  appropriations  to  higher 
education  are  decreasing  in  budget 
percentages.  In  Michigan,  four  - year 
institutions received  20.2 percent of the 
general fund  in  1967 - 68,  and  that has 
dropped  to  17.3  percent  in  1970 - 71, 
Cantlon said. 

''This  clear  expression  of  priority 
change 
is  accompanied  by  multiple 
expressions  from  public  and  private 
figures  of  a  lessening  in  oonfidenoo  in 
universities  as  problem  solvers  and  as 
producers  of problem  solvers,"  he  said. 

la c k  0  f  understanding 

He  spoke  of  the  problem  of 
legislative  riders on appropriations bills, 
and 
a 
appreciation  of  the 
total  mix  of 
university  -
related  activities, . 
particularly  "research  and  scholarly 
activity."  And,  he  said,  as  students 
complain  that  such  activities  are  not 
relevant  to  their  undergraduate 
instruction, legiSlators take note.  -

"Re st 0  ration  of  real  public 
confidence  will  be ·a  long,  slow  task," 
Cantlon  said.  "It  hardly  helps  when 
political figures,  student leaders, faculty 
and,  on  occasion  even  individual 
trustees,  publicly  join  in  attacking  a, 
university administration." 

But  the  provost  said  his  complaint 
was  not  with  criticism  per  se  - "if one 
runs any organization primarily to avoid 
criticism  that  organization  will  go 
but  rather  with  "the 
' nowhere"  -
nonconstructive,  frequently  malicious 

criticism  mostly  devoid  of specifics  and 
often  heavily  laced  with  inaccuracies." 
Cantlon  also  spoke  at  some  length 
about  the  trehd  6f  facliltycollective 
bargaining. 

"Some  kind  of convention  seems  to 
exist  that  university  administrators 
should  make  no  statements  concerning 
unionization  of  university  faculty," 
Cantlon  said.  "I've  never  been much for 
convention but believe in candor." 

He  said  it  was  his  "personal  bias" 
that  "from  the  administrator's  narrow 
perspective,"  a  university  with  a 
unionized faculty would be easier to  run 
than  the  "present  messy  coalition 
indeed,  much 
wherein  faculty  are, 
involved  and  consulted  in  decisior. 
making." 

He  said  he  thought  unionization 
would  tend  to  downgrade  merit  in 
reward  systems,  causing  "the  scholarly 
dimensions of the institution" to suffer; 
that competent  scholars would  be more 
easily  lured  away  "to  institutions  left 
free to bargain for talent." 

And  Cantlon  said  he  thought  no 
really  frrst  - rate  university  will  be 
unionized,  including  the  MSU  faculty. 
is 
The  University  administration 
interested  in "fostering the best possible 
relationships with its faculty  and staff," 
he  said,  and 
it  will  continue  to 
that  by  trying  to  stay 
demonstrate 
competitive  in  salary,  fringe  benefits 
and  maintenance  of  a  healthy 
intellectual environment.

"We  must  avoid  the  harm  that  will 
come  to  universities  if we  are  so  naive 
a s  to  co nfuse  student  ~  faculty  -

university  relationships with the  labor -
management  relationships  that  have 
emerged  in  the  private industry sector," 
Cantlon said. 

He  spoke  of  many  other 
administrative  problems  -
for example: 
Large  student residence hall investments 
coupled with a  legiSlative  press to enroll 
more  upper  level  students  when  only 
freshmen  are  required  to 
live  on 
campus;  the  problems  of 
nonreappointment  of  nontenured 
faculty;  admissions  and  enrollment 
shifts, etc. 

He 

listed  several  things  public 

universities need to do: 

*"Reconvince  the general public and 
their  representatives  in  the  various 
legislatures that there is societal as well as 
individual gain in widely available higher 
education,  and  that the  recent trend of 
declining  public  support  must  be 
arrested and soon reversed." 

*"Improve  productivity  within  the 
university  while  maintaining  or 
enhancing the quality of services. 

*"We  must  be  exceedingly cweful to 
protect  the  major  universityt,ask  of 
generating  new  knowledge  and  '~sight. 
No  period  of stress  should be permitted 
to  dry  up  research  and  scholarly 
endeavor  in  any  institution  worthy  of 
the name  'university.' 

*"We  need  to  focus  on  the  core  of 
each  of the  UnIversity's  main  missions 
and  design  our  programs  and prooodures 
to  optimize  progress toward these goals.

A-Ps get 
mixed news 

There  was  good  news  and bad news 
at Tuesday night's spring meeting of the 
Administrative-Profe ssional Asso ciation. 
The  good  news,  reported  J.  Henry 
Backus  of  the  A-P  Classification 
Committee,  is  that the  University  plans 
to  hire  a  consultant  to  do  an 
independent  study  of the  classification 
system  for  A-P  employes  and  some  of 
the clerical-technical levels. 

Re co mme nd at ions  from  the 
consultant  are  expected this fall, Backus 
~id. 

And  now,  the  bad  news:  A-P 
Association  President  William  Kenney 
offered  little  hope  -
in view  of federal 
wage  guidelines  and  another  expected 
that  a 
MSU  budget  squeeze  -
meaningful  merit  salary  system  will  be 
instituted for A-Ps in 1972-73. 

Kenney,  associate  director  of 
financial  aids,  told  the  group  that  the 
University  has  been  informed  that  the 
federal  guideline  calls for  a  5.5  percent 
wage  hike, plus seven-tenths of I percent 
in  fringe  benefits,  over  the  total 
compensation  package  at  the  time  of 
the price-wage freeze  last August. 

Even  if  MSU  is  able  to  grant  the 
maximum  increase  allowable,  he  noted, 
the  dollar  amount  would  be  so  small 
that  "it  would  probably  be  to  the 
greatest  advantage  of most A-Ps to have 
across-the-board raises this year."

Crilllinal  justice popularity soars; 
enrolllllent lilllits  are  illlposed 

More  and  more  college  students  are 
turning  to  criminal  justice  as  a  field  of 
study - so  many,  in  fact , that MSU has 
had to limit its enrollments. 

Increasing  awareness  of  the  crime 
problem and increasing fmancial support 
from· Washington  have  helped to nearly 
double  enrollment  in  MSU's  School  of 
Criminal Justice in the last 18 months. 

In the fall  of 1970, 620 undergraduate 
and graduate students were enrolled. This 
spring  1,086  of  them  are  overflowing 
classrooms  and  putting  a  strain  on  the 
faculty  which  has  not  expanded 
proportionally. 

The problem is so acute, explains A.F. 
Brandstatter, school director, that by the 
fall  of 1975, enrollments will be limited 
to between 500 and 600. 

The School of Criminal Justice is not a 
"police  academy"  in  the  sense  that  it 
graduates  ticket  - writing,  criminal  -
chasing police officers. 

Instead, it trains students for academic 
and  professional  careers  in  areas  of 
private  and  public  criminal  justice 
adminsitration and public safety. 

As  enrollment  has  increased  the 
criminal  justice  curriculum has changed 
to meet the challenges of modem society. 
The  original  academic  program  was 
highly  structured  and  rigid.  It  now 
includes  course  requirements  giving 
students a fundamental liberal education 
along with a background in the social and 
behavioral sciences. 

Criminal justice graduates are prepared 
for  leadership  roles  in  parole, probation 
an d  corrections  departments,  police 
service  and  court  administration.  The 
present  warden  of  Jackson  (Michigan) 
State  Prison  is  an  MSU  criminal justice 
graduate. 

Brandstatter  attributed  the  recent 
jump  in  student  numbers  to  several 
factors. 

First,  he  said,  "There  has  <  been 
increasing  attention,  nationally,  to  the 
problems  of  crime,  courts,  law 
enforcement  and  corrections.  This  has 
created  more  student  interest  in  our 
program. 

"In addition, the number of two - year 
colleges  offering criminal justice courses 
has  increased  dramatically  since  federal 
through  the 
funds  became  available 
Office  of Law  Enforcement  Assistance 
Administration," Brandstatter says. 

There are presently 22 such colleges in 
Michigan.  Their  graduates  are  now 
seeking  further  training  in  four  - year 
institutions such as MSU. 

Brandstatter  points  out  that  direct 
student  fmancial  aid  from  the  federal 
Law  Enforcement  Education  Program 
further  encourages  increased 
enrollments. 

A glance at the Criminal Justice School 
bulletin  board  indicates  that  job 
opportunities  for  graduates  in  the field 
are currently very good. This is attractive 

to students who find jobs scarce in other 
professions. 

. 

Applications to the School of Criminal 
Justice for the fall,  1972, term have been 
cut  off,  says  Brandstatter,  as  plans  to 
reduce enrollment begin. 

"Even  so,"  he  adds,  "the  school  is 
expected to have  more  than  a thousand 
students  for  the  second  year  in  a  row, 
beginning this fall."
