'Godfather,' 'Clockwork' enjoy brisk sal{}s 

Two  books  with  recent  sales  boosted 
by  their  movie  versioos  and  two  others 
that  continue  to enjoy  popularity head 
the list  of best - selling  titles in six  East 
Lansing book stores. 

A  News  - Bulletin  survey  taken  last 
week shows that "A Clockwork Orange" 
and  ''The  Godfather"  are  selling  well 
locally,  thanks  at  least  partially  to  the' 
popularity -of their  screen  counterparts. 
Both books are among the top 10 sellers 
in three of six stores surveyed. 

AlsO  in  the  top  10  in  three  stores are 
"BuryMy  Heart  at  Wounded  Knee:  An 

Indian History of the American West," a 
best  - seller  locally  for  several months, 
and  "I'm  OK,  You're  OK:  A  Practical 
Guide  to  Transactional  Analysis"  by 
Thomas Harris.  Reported among the 10 
best sellers in two stores each are: "Game 
of the  Foxes"  by Ladislas Farago,  "The 
Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, Irving Wallace's 
"The Word" and "The Boys of Summer," 
by Roger Kah. 

Both hard - cover  and paperback sales

Faculty awards:  Four wi~!ler~~ yiew~ 

M.  Lois  Calhoun,  professol\  of 
anatomy, says she thinks she received the 
Distinguished  Faculty  Award  in  1971 
because she's "an oddity." 

Walter  Adams,  Distinguished 
University  Professor of economics,  says 
~ 1:ece'Ned. ihe hono1: in. 1965 because he 
considers "teaching a calling, not a job." 
Kevin  D.  Kelly,  assistant  professor  of 
sociology,  and  Stephen  L.  Yelon, 

associate  professor  of  educational 
psychology  and  assistant  director  of 
Learning Services,  say  they believe they 
were  recipients of the Teacher - Scholar 
Awards  because  of  their  interest  in 
students.  Yelon  won the award in  1969; 
Kelly in 1970. 

These faculty  members and other past 
award  winners  will  share  their  honors 
with  17 colleagues  who  will  receive this 

year's DistinguislIed Faculty and Teacher 
Scholar  awards  at  the  1972  Awards 
Convocation at 8 p.m. Tuesday (May 23) 
in  Anthony  Hall  Auditorium.  (News  -
Bulletin, May 11). 

Also, six graduate assistants will receive 
Excellence - in - Teaching citations given 
to  graduate  assistants  exhibiting  "care 
and  skill  in  meeting  classroom 
responsibilities. " 

Miss  Calhoun,  who  has  traveled 
extensively, is the author of more than 30 
articles and coauthored two books in the 
veterinary medicine field. 

She says that she had enjoyed teaching 
and contact with students. "\ have alwaYll 
made myself available if students wished 
to see me." 

And  Miss  Calhoun  adds  that  although 
she appreciates the Distinguished Faculty 
Award, "it hasn't been the greatest thrill 
of my years of teaching. 

"My greatest  moment~ are  when  I see 
my  former  students  - becoming 
accomplished in the field," she says.  She 
COUI1,t,s  a  dean  in  a  college  in  India,  a 
dir~c~or of medical technology and many 
de p?-riment  chairmen  among  former 
students.

MISS  CALHOUN,  a  member  of  the 
faculty for 29 years, is retiring thisJ\,lDe. 
"I'm  an  oddity  because  I'm the-only 
woman in the United States who has been 
chairman  of an  anatomy  departnient," 
she  says.  She served  as  chairml!.ri  during 
1948-67.

The  DistingtiislIed  Faculty  Awiird  is 
given  for  "outstanding contributions to 
the  intellectual  development  of  the 
University." 

MSU faculty  ranked 
67th in average salary 

Michigan State faculty - on an average 
ftgure  withiq  all ranks - are among the 
nation's  best  - paid  in  salaries  and 
benefits,  according  to  a  survey  of the 
American  Association  of  University 
Professors  (AAUP)  reported  in  The 
Chronicle of Higher Education. 

In  a 

list  of  the  68  nonmedical 
institutions  paying 
average  faculty 
salaries  and  benefits  totaling  over 
$18,000  for  nine  months,  MSU  ranks 
67th with an  average  compensation last 
year of$18,177. 

Three Big Ten schools - Northwestern 
($20,804),  the  University  of Michigan 
($20 ,058)  and  indiana  Univeristy 
($28,304) - ranked ahead ofMSU. 

The  AAUP  material  includes  faculty 
whose  salaries are derived at least 50 per 
ceI}t from instructional funds. It excludes 

human  medicine  and  osteopathic 
medicine  (but . i'ncludes  veterinary 
medicine  and  nursing)  and  it  includes 
department chairmen. 

The AAUP scale slIows that the average 
salary for  MSU  instructors is  above  the 
national 95th  percentile  and  above  the 
80th percentile  for  assistant  professors. 
But  for  professors  here  it  is  below  the 
60th  percentile  (but  above  the  40th 
percentile), and for associate professors it 
is below  the  80th percentile  (but  above 
the 60th). 

FigUres in the AAUP report are for nine 

months or adjusted to nine months.

IN  A  BREAKDOWN  by  ranks, 
according  to  the  AAUP,  professors  at 
MSU  receive  an  average  of $22,500  in

Souvenir graduation  robes 

The Senior Council and the commencement committee have  approved a 
change  in  academic  apparel  for  bachelor's  candidates - a change that will 
allow graduates to buy black nylon "keepsake" caps and gowns. 

Beginning  with  next  month's  commencement  (June  11)  bachelor's 
candidates will no longer rent  apparel  but will buy nonreturnable cap and 
gown for $6. The  new system is designed to offer more presentable apparel 
and to give  students "more for their money." 

Jack  Ostrander,  assistant  manager  of the  Union  Building, reports'  that 
the  Union  Desk  will  rent  faculty  caps  and  gowns  at  $8  for  bachelor's 
degree  - holders,  $10  for master's holders and $12 for all doctoral holders. 
Further  information  is  available  at  the  Union  Desk  (355  - 3498)  or

from Ostrander (355 - 3463).

Sit-ins,  marches.· Antiwar protests flare 

It  has  had  some  of the  earmarks of 
May,  1970, when a concerted effort was 
made  to  stop  "business as usual" on the 
campus.  But 
the  most  recent  war 
protest  here  has  produced  its  own 

identity too:  Two  nights (May 9 and 10) 
of  a  vehicle-less  Grand  River  Avenue 
while  students  occupied  the  street,  a 
brief  attempted  takeover  of  the 
Administration  Building,  a  Sunday 

• 
Wharton  statement lists  actions 

(Note:  The following statement was issued May 14 by President  Wharton) 

"The  Michigan  State  University  administration  has'  sought  in  every  way 
possible  during  the  past  week  to  be  responsive  to  genuine  concerns  raised  by 
members  of the  University  community.  We  believe  we  have  made  good  - faith 
progress to meet these  concerns, and this will continue to be our posture. 

"Steps in  which the University has been engaged include: 
1.  Meetings  with  the  mayor,  city  council  members  of  East  Lansing  and 
representatives  of the  anti  - war  protesters  to  discuss  the  areas  of concern  and 
possible responses. 

2.  The  establishment on Friday (May  12) of a series of 'teach - irls' for students 

and faculty to explore and discuss the various issues related to the war. 

3.  Providing  two  hours  of  broadcast  time  over  the  University's  television 
station, WMSB,  on Sunday  afternoon  for  a special  program dealing with the war. 
4. Drafting  a proposal,  subject  to  Board  of Trustees  approval,  to  create  an  ad 
hoc fact - finding  committee  to  review  current University policies in a number of 
areas  and  to  make  recommendations  for possible  change.  Topics include  research 
and  defense  contract policies, overseas programs, status of ROTC, purchases from 
contractors and juve¥ments policy. 

"All  of  these  steps  were  taken  in  rilspoilse  to  :direcf .:requests  from,  and 
discussion  with,  repY€sentatiVes  of  the  anti  - War  groups. 'We  believe  that  the 
progress thus far demonstrates our willfugness kJ Jiste» ~d to act~~ 

'·At  the  same  tiltie,  hOWever,  it ' ,milst: be<undetstoM  that'there  are  other 
'demands'  or  requests  that  the  University  is  not  in ' a' 'position ,to  meet,  such  as 
closing the University. 

-, 

"Another  such  demand was  that  the trustees  adopt' an  'institutional' position 
against  the war,  rather than expressing their collective, but individual, positions as 
they did in two resolutions adopted at their April meeting. 

"I agreed to contact the trustees to determine their views on this issue. 
"The  trustees  have  concluded  that  they  cannot endorse  such  an  institutional 
position.  However, the  majority  of them  reaffirmed  their personal support of the 
two resolutions adopted on April 22, 1972, which stated in part: 

'As  individual  citizens speaking  together, we  urge  our national government to 
bring  military  involvement  in  this  conflict  to  a  speedy  end,  without  further 
expansion. We  urge  our students to  use,  to  the fullest, the new right of the ballot 
which is the most effective weapon we have.' 

"Further,  1 plan  this  week  to  submit  to  the  trustees  for  their  consideration  a 

proposal to establish the  special committee to reviewyniversity policies." 

Developlflent Fund gro:ws 

Nearly  15,000  contributors  donated 
almost  $1.7 million last year to the MSU 
Development Fund ( see charts). 

One  division  of the Development fund 
is  L'le  Presidents  Club,  which  includes 
persons  who  have  donated  or  have 
pledged to donate  $10,000 or more. The 
club  has  existed  less  than  10  years  and 
now includes 100 members. 

The Centurion Club includes those who 
have  contributed  $100  or  more.  That 
club  has  840  members,  309  of whom 
joined in 1971. 

The  fund  is  a  division  of the  Alumni 
Assoication  and  is  designated  as  the 
official  receiving  office  for  gifts  to  the 
University,  according  to  the  1971 
Development Fund Annual Report.

evening  (May 14)  candlelight  peace  vigil 
in  East  Lansing,  and  yesterday's march 
to the State Capitol. 

As  of Wednesday, President Wharton 
was  still  proceeding  with  plans  to  ask 
the  Board  of Trustees  to  create  an  ad 
hoc  committee  to  examine  and  suggest 
possible  changes  in  such policy  areas  as 
research  and  defense  contracts, 
purchases  and  investments,  and  ROTC 
(see statement below). 

The  Board  was  scheduled  to  meet 
today  at  3  p.m.  in  Kellogg  Center  to 
consider  the  proposal and  to  hear  from 
spokesmen for the demonstrators. 

During  the  past  week,  Wharton  has 
met  with  leaders  of  the 
antiwardemonstrators,  spoken  to  some 
demonstrators,  and  issued  statements 
sympathizing with student concern over 
the  recent developments in Vietnam but 
deploring  the  Grand  River  sit-ins  and 
campus disruptions. 

He  expressed  "great personal  sorrow 
and  regret"  over having  to use Michigan 
State Police  to  clear  the Administration 
Building  last  Thursday,  but  he  pointed 
out  that  demonstrators  "ripped  doors 
off  their  hinges,  broke  onto  the  roof, 
forced  their  way  into  the  cashier's and 
registrar's offices, sought to enter rooms 
occupied  by  a  $1  million  computer  and 
intimidated many employes." 

Wharton  emphasized  that  the  use  of 

State Police was a ~ast resort. 

"There  was  no  way  in  which 
respon'sible  administrators  of  this 
University  could, have  permitted  this 

&roup,  some  of  whom  had  aheady 
shown  that  they were  bent on physical 
destruction,  to  have  control  of  the 
building." 

To  help  prevent  a  repeat  of  the 
Thursday occurrence, tightened security 
measures  were  taken  at  the 
Administration  Building.  On Friday and 
into  the  early  part  of this  week,  only 
one  of  the  outer  front  doors  was  left 
unlocked.  Designated  persons  inside the. 
building  were  stationed,  each  in 
one-hour  shifts,  in  the  main  lobby  to 
lock the remaining door if necessary. 

Some  of the  demonstrators had called 
for a boycott of classes for Tuesday (May 
16), prompting a statement from Provost 
John  Cantlon  reiterating the  University 
policy  stating  that  although  class 
attendance  if not  required,  neither  the 
administration nor the Academic Council 
can  require  an  instructor  "to  excuse 
students  from  formally  stated 
requirements of his or her course." 

A random  check with several  college 
offices Tuesday morning  indicated little 
evidence  of a boycott.  Bruce  McCrone, 
assistant  to  the  dean  of  Univeristy 
College,  estimated  that  absenteeism  in 
most  UC  colleges  was  about  normal (5 
percent),  although  in  some  cases  it  was 
as high as 10  to IS  percent. 

-

And  unofficial  reports  from  the 
Colleges,  Qf  Education  and  Spcial 
Science  confirmed  that  cla~srpqm 
attendance  was  normal,  and  that,signs 
of disruption were  not apparent. 

History  in  sound 

Beware  of 'sham  Shaws' 

(Actual  recordings  that  detail  this and 
other  events  are  available  in the  National 
Voice  Library on the  fourth  floor  'of, the 
MSU  Library.  An  appointment  can  be 
made by calling 355 - 5122.) 

By G. ROBERT VINCENT 
Curator, NatiOli'al Voice Libmry 
After  10  years  with  the  Thomas 
A.  Edison  Recording  Division in  the 
1920s,  I  opened my own  sound and 
recording  studio  in  Radio  City, New 
York. 

One  of those  who  dropped  in  at 
the  studio  was  Max  Sherover, 
'president  of  the  Linguaphone 
Institute, with offices in the adjacent 
RCA  Building.  He  appointed  me 
sound  director  for  Linguaphone,  an 
international  phonograph  record 
enterprise  that  specialized  in 
language  and  speech  records,  and 
study discs. 

Phonographs  in those  days  nearly 
all  had  "governors,"  controls  by 
which  one  could  regulate  the  speed 
of  the  turntable.  Of  coUrse,  to  get 
the  right  speed  for  a  faithful 

reproduction,  one  had  to  play  back 
the  record  at  the  same  speed  it  was 
. 
recorded. 

One  ,of  the  study  disc  albums 
distributed  on  the  British 
that> 
Linguaphone  label  discussed 
very  subject,  and,  to  illustrate  it, the 
world  - famous  playwright,  George. 
Bernard  Shaw,  made  some  witty' 
remarks: 

''.  ' .. Let  me  introduce  myself:· ~ 
Bernard  Shaw.  I  am  asked  to  give~ 
you  a  specimen  of  spoken  English. 
But,  fIrst  let  me  give  you a warning. 
You  think  you  are  hearing my voice, 
but  unless  you  know  how  to  use 
your  gramophone  properly,  what 
you  are  hearing  may  be  something 
grotesquely  unlike  any  sound  that 
has  ever  come  from  my  lips.  What 
you  are  hearing  now is  not  my voice 
unless  your  gramophone is turning at 
exactly the right  speed. 

"  ... Now, the worst of it is that 1 
cannot  tell you how to find the right 
speed for me. Those of you who have 
heard Die  speak, either face  to face  or 
over  the  wireless,  will  have  no 
diffficulty.  You just  have  to  change 
the  speed  until  you  recognize  the 
voice  you  remember.  But  what  are 
you  to  do  if you  have  never  heard 
me?  Well,  1 can give  you  a hint  that 
will help you. 

"If  what  you  hear  is  very 
disappointing  and  you  feel 
instinctively,  'That  must  be  a horrid 
man,'  you  may be quite  sure that the 
speed  is  wrong.  Slow  it  down  until 
you  feel  that you  are  listening  to  an 
amiable  old gentleman of 71,  with a 
rather  pleasant  Irish voice; then that 
is  me  .  .  .  All  the  other people  you 
the  other  speeds  are 
hear  at 
imposters,  sham  Shaws,  phantoms 
who  never existed."

AA UP challenges definition . .. 

The  two  groups  seeking  to bargain  collectively  for the  faculty  were  unable  to 
agree  on  a  defmition  of  the  faculty  unit  in  a  hearing  before  the  fI~ichigan 
Employment Relations Commission (MERe) this week. 

Both the  University administration and the MSU Faculty Associates reaffIrmed 
their  March  1  agreement  on  composition  of a proposed  unit that would be  the 
basis fora possible bargaining election. 

But the  campus chapter of the  American  Association of University Professors 
challenged  the  proposed  defmition  and  sought  inclusion  of these  additional 
faculty:  Chairmen  and  assistant  and  associate  chairmen,  and  directors  and 
assistant  an,g  associate  directors;  athletic  coaches  who  do  not  have  supervisory 
authority over assistant coaches; and coaches without faculty  rank. 

"It is  our understanding  that the  MERC  will  now  check to determine  if each 
union  has  authorization  cards  signed  by  at  least  30  percent  of the  proposed 
bargaining unit," said Robert Perrin, vice  president for University relations. 

"If  so,  the  MERC  would  then  order  a  hearing  to  resolve  the  issue  over 

composition of a unit." 

. 

Both  the  MSU - FA and the MUP say they .have authorization cards  signedby 
more  than  30  percent  ~f the  unit  they  seek  -to  represent.  Sigmund  Nosow, 
professor oflabor and industrial  relations and AAUP president, said that his group 
favors' inclusion  of  department  chairmen  because  "anyone  with  faculty  duties 
shoUld be included." 

But the MSU " FA says it will oppose inclusion of chairmen because supervisors 
do  not belong in  a bargaining  unit.  A  spokesman  sai.dthat MSU- FA expects to 
have its defInition - to exclude 'Chairmen - upheld and that a fInal defInition may 
be settled this summer. 

Once  a  unit  is  defIned, MERC  will  schedule  an  election  in  which  faculty  can 

,vo~ from among the MSU - FA, AAUP  or no agent.

"  ~', ;  and says 'why 

. The MSU  chapter of the' American Association of University professors Tuesday 
·ilight heard the rationale for retaining department chairmen in the proposed faculty 
eollective bargaining unit (see story above). 

. 

Chapter  President  Sigmund  Nosow  said  that  the  AAUP  chaUenges  the  legal 
defInition of "supervisor" for department chairmen, maintaining that chairmen are 
faculty, not supervisors. 

"A supervisor is a 'pusher' who tells people what to do," he said. "In no way does a 

faculty chairman tell faculty what to do." 

About 25 persons attended the meeting. 

Thomas  Greer,  professor  of  humanities,  said  that ' the  AAUP  should  poll 
dellattment  chairmen to fmd out what they believe  their  roles  to be and if they 
would wish to become part of a bargaining unit. The suggestion was adopted. 

In  discussion  concerning  the  proposed  interim faculty  grievance  procedures  -
recently approved by the Academic Council and headed for the Board of Trustees -
Leon H. Weaver, professor of criminal justice, moved to include "just cause" in the 
defInition of a grievance. The motion was rejected. 

Weaver  had  previously  attempted to have  the motion  accepted by the  Faculty 

Steering Committee and the Acade!nic Council. Both attempts Jailed .. 

The  group  approved  a motion to. seek  trustee acceptance of the AAUP national 
sta!ements on academic freedom .and tenure (1940) and ongovernm~t of colleges 
and universities (1966). 

Walter Adams said that a letter should be sent to the Board asking for endorsement 
of :the two statements as part of University policy. Adams is newly elected national

MSU-FA  opposes procedures 

The MSU  Faculty Associates has announced that it will present an alternative to 
the proposed faculty grievance procedures that the Board of Trustees is to consider 
Friday. 

The  MSU-F A  said  it  opposes  the  procedures  as  they,:"oP.w:·i.~'d  because  it is 

concerned over the absence of "just cause"  in the definjt~gft." of ~~JU!ce. 

The group said in a statement that consideration has il~~·;V~H;P~it":!rt~e issue of 

the sort of. questions that can be raised for determinanpn'·i.tnd~~h~.pt~,~d~~ s. 

"In our Judgement," the statement says, "the Electea·F.aci1Jty CO!lIlcihnd,the .ad

Environment··course list grows 

_,,;_:;.

MSU  now  offers  Some  200  courses  on  various  aspects  of the  environment, 
James  W.  Butcher,  assistant  dean  of natural  science  reported  during  the  recent 
annual meeting of the Center for Environmental Quality (CEG). 

A  description  of these  courses  -

including  about  a  dozen  new  ones  - was 

recently published by Butcher's environmental education conunittee of CEQ. 

Betty  Balaske,  student  originator of the  all  - student project called  P AMRAI, 
(pollution  Abatment  Manpower  Requirements  in  the  Automotive  Industry), 
reported on impacts of the project 'sponsored by CEQ  and General Motors. 

Among  other  discoveries, 

the  students  verifIed  the  need  for  improved 

communication among the public, industry and higher education. 

Charles  L.  San  Clemente,  of microbiology,  a  member  of the  environmental 

education committee, warned of an environmental crisis: 

"Today's students will  be here  in,2020 to  see  the  world go to hell if we  don't 
modify  our ways,  according  to  recent  computerized  studies based  on  data from 
international specialists. 

"It's high  time  that  universities  consider their responsibilities to serve the total 
electorate,"  he  added.  "There  is  practically  no  coordination  of agencies  of the 
state,  and  most  education  on  environmental  problems  goes  to  the  already  -
educated, by means of continuing education or rural education systesm." 

Andrew  D.  Hunt  Jr.,  dean  of human  medicine,  pointed  out  that  since  the 
emphasis  of the  CEQ  is  on  the  quality  of life,  then  perhaps  the  center's name 
should be changed to reflect that concern, 

Leighton  Leighty,  associate  professor  of resources  development,  reported on 

possible roles of CEQ with the three medical colleges and law. 

Part  of the  effort,  he  said,  could  involve  faculty  education:  "How  do  you 

respond to a subpoena when asked to be a witness?" Leighty asked. 

His committee on environmental law was instrumental in gathering information 
on  noise  pollution  and  possible  environmental  impacts  of the  proposed  cross  -
campus highway.  On  June  1,  the  committee  will conduct a conference at Kellogg 
Center on urban legal problems. 

"Few people are not aware of environmental problems," said Ronald W. Wilson 
of University  College.  "Now we're  moving into phase two, the nitty - gritty phase 
of 'what p.re  the alternatives?' 

Wilson chairs CEQ's committee on faculty student public laison. 
The annual CEQ  report closed with a challenge from vice president for research 
development,  Milton  Muelder,  and  chairman  of the center's  policy  and  advisory 
board: 

"How  do  you  get  society  to  tilke  action?" he  asked.  "My hunch  is  that this 

aspect ofthe job is the most difficult of all."

Kellogg  has its millionth  conferee 

The  Continuing  Education  Service  reached  a  milestone  this  week  when  it 

registered its millionth conference participant at Kellogg Center. 

Conferee  No.  1,000,000  was  Karen  Willdn~on, one  of the  1,000 parents and 
teachers  attending  the  21 st . Annual  Conference  of  the  Michigan  Council  of 
Cooperative Nurseries. 

This group is very familiar with Kellogg Center, having met there annually since 
1952.  Others  among  the  300 meeting  there  ot~:elsewhere on the campus this year 
have  been  conferring  at  MSU annually for as long as 38 years, starting long before 
the  creation  of the  Continuing  Education  Service  in  1948  or  the  opening  of 
Kellogg Center in 1951. 

In  42  meetings Monday  and Tuesday,  the nurseries  council members, working 
with  the  College  of Human  Ecology,  did' as  a  million  Kellogg Center  conferees 
have done -learn from speakers, demonstrations, exhibits and informal talks with 
each other. 

Grants  from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek helped MSU develop 
the  residential educational facility  and expand it. in· 1954 and 1958. Eleven other 
"Kellogg Centers" across the nation have been ,m,Qdeled  after it.

Golf privileges for grad students 

The  Council  of Graduate  Students (COGS) will study the feasibility of granting 

graduate students the same privileges as faculty at the Forest Akers Golf Course. 

According  to Kim Wilson, gradu?te research assistant in dairy scienc e,  COGS has 
formed  an  ad  hoc  committee  to  report  on  the  reservations  and  season  pass 
procedures at the golf course. 

At  present,  only faculty  and  staff can make  advance  reservations. In addition, 

faculty and staff are eligible for season passes while students are not. 

The  COGS  committee  will  investigate  whether  graduate  students  can  become 

elJjg~bJe for these privileges. 

John Brotzmann, g01f course manager, says that reservations used to be available 

to students, "but we found that students didn't honor the reservations." 

He  says  that  season  passes are  limited  to faculty  and staff because of economjc 
Ieasons.  "The  course  would  lose  money  if season  passes  were  also  available  to 
students," Brotzmann says. 

Wilson says the ad hoc committee is planning to poll the membership to determine 
its interest in the golf matter, and work on proposals agreeable to COGS and the golf 
course management.

Former winners view faculty  awards  •  •  • 

(Concluded from page 1) 

Faculty  Award  winner.  Walter  Adams, 
who  was acting president and 
'MSU's 
13th  president  between  March,  1969, 
and  January,  1970,  says  he  enjoys 
teaching and "it's not important what the 
administration  thinks  of  my  teaching, 
but what my students get out ofit." 

Adams  says·his  teaching  and 
achievements  are  for  'himself  and  his 
students. "It's what lowe myself and my. 
students,  and  I  have  pride 
in  my 
workmanship," he says; 

A  nationally  know  ,economist  and 
consultant  to  the  fe'qeral  government, 
Adams joined the  MSU faculty in  1947. 
He  was appointed to a full  professorship 
in 1956. 

Adams  says  he  doesn't  endorse  the 
"don't  spindle,  mutilate  or  fold" 
philosophy  where  students  are 
concerned.  "I  like  to  get  to  know  my 
students by  name  and  believe  that  the. 
University  is  for  the  students," he  says. 

"The  greatest  award  in  teaching  is in 
occassion ally  learning  that  I  have 
contributed  to  the  development  of  a 
single individual," he adds. 

Adams says that his interest in students 
extends  outside  the  classroom.  During 
the  latest  students  demonstrations  on 
campus,  for  instance, Adams  stayed on 
the  scene  all  night  while  students 
occupied  Grand  River.  "I  wanted  to 
make  sure'  they ' didn't  do  anything 
foolish,  and get  their  heads  busted," he 
says. 

*  "*  * 
, KEVIN  KELLY  alsofsays that his role 
as a teacher is for the students. Unhappy 
with lruge cl~s he attempted  to develop a 
better  teacher  - student  relationship  in 
large class situations. 

. 

"I  think  I  received  the  Teacher  -
Scholar  Award  because  I  try  to  have 
options  for  all  students  and constantly 
work for  a better learning situation," he 
says.

The  leading  institution 

the 
graduate center of the City Univeristyof 
New  York  (CUNY),  with  an  average 
compensation  of  $28,492.  Of  the  10 
institutions  reporting  average 
compensation of more than $22,000, five 
. are  campuses  of CUNY.  Also  ranking 
high are Harvard, CalTech,  the  Claremont 
University Center, Stanford, Chicago and 
Yale. 

The  report  notes  that  in  1971  - 72, 
faculty salaries lost ground to the cost of 
living.  The  average  faculty  pay  rose  by 
3.6 percent last year, while the Consumer 
Price  Index  went  up  by  43  percent. 
When  fringe  benefits  are  added,  average 
faculty  compensation  increased  by  4.3 
percent. 

Peter Steiner of the U - M, chairman of 
the  AAUP's  reporting  committee,  said 
that the current reason for fund shortage 
for faculty raises is that "now, at the end 
of two decades of great growth, faculties 
are disproportionately young." 

He noted that contrasted with 20 years 
ago  - when  high  retirement  rates  and 
growing  enrollments  led to  com~tition 
for  young  faculty  - most  of  today's 
teachers are at a point where they expect 
rapid  salary  hikes,  but  proportionately 
few are at retirement age. 

*  *  * 
THE  SURVEY  INCLUDED  some 
290,000  full  - time  faculty  at  1,400 
institu tions. 

Steiner  said 

this  phenomenon  was 
somewhat  concealed  in  the  1950s  and 
1960s  by  the  growth  in  academic 
financing. 

Kelly  says that although he was happy 
in win  the award, he is more oleased that 
the  sociology  department  has  won  the 
honor three years in a row. 

"I  think  that  the  department's 
philosophy  of exchanging  ideas  among 
the  faculty  accounts  for  its  members 
continuously being honored," he says. 

*  *  * 
OPTIONS  FOR  students  is  also 
endorsed  by  Stephen  Yelon.  "In  my 
classes students sign a contract and know 
exactly  what is  expected  of them.  The 
contract  also  leaves the choice up to the 
.student  on  how  much  he  wants  to  put 
into the class," he says. 

He says that he feels he won  the award 
because he practices what he preaches., 

and  tries to be "an enthusiastic and good 
speaker, integrate  connected  humor into 
his  teaclung and always  be  interested  in 
what the student is domg." 

But  Yelon  says  that  the  Teacher  -
Scholar  Award,  given  for "devotion and 
is 
skill 
tokenism,for good teaching. 

is  undergraduate 

teaching," 

"The award  only  covers a few persons 
annually  and  there  are  many  more  fine 
teachers on campus. These faculty sho.uld 
be  awarded  through  promotions  and 
salary increases," he says. 

Yelon  added that because  he  has .won 
the award many ,students expect more.of 
him  as  a teacher.  "It also  has  made  me 
expect more of myself," he says.

Study shows similarities, 
dlfferences  of awardees 

A Learning  Services  study of the University's first  six recipients of the Teacher, 
Scholar Award in  1969  found  that  the  teacher - scholars have several  similarities: 
Respect  for  students  and  for  teaching;  enthusiasm  for  the  subject  matter;  and 
confidence in their knowledge of the subject. 

The  study  was  done  by  Stephen  L.  Yelon,  associate  professor  of educational 
psychology  and  assistant  director  of Learning  Services,  for  students in a graduate· 
. ' ." 
education course. Yelon isa 1969 recipient of the Teacher-Scholar Award. 
Teacher - scholar winners  are  reportedly  alike  in  their attempts to be frank and 
open with the class; to respect and give close attention to student feedback; to make 
frequent  attempts  to understand  the  course  from  the  students' viewpoint; and to 
make the course more meaningful and more relevant. 

They  were  found  dissimilar  in  their  views  of the  amount  of  preparation  time 
necessary;  well  - defined  course  objectives;  the  importance  of  the  textbook; 
encouragement of class interaction; use of instructional media; and encouragement 
of student visits during office hours. 

The study also found that a few  of the teacher - scholars believe that "teachers are 

born not made."

Tapping  a  Jountainhead' of prose and poetry 

Hugh  Fox  is the fountainhead of a wide, fast - running stream of prose, poetry, 

music and drama that pours from his Hubbard Hall office. 

Fox  holds  the  Ph.D.  in  English  and  is  an  associate  professor  of American 

thought and  languag.e . 

Before  coming  to MSU,  he  spent  10  years  as  an  associate  professor  at  Loyola 
University  in  Los  Angeles;  one  year  as  a visiting  professor  of American  studies, 
University  of Sonora, Mexico;  and two  years as  a visiting  professor  of American 
studies  at  Instituto Pedagogico, Caracas, Venezuela. 

cis office  is  a reservoir of his literary material, which, until now, has only been 

trickled out sporadically through an offset press in his garage. 

This  summer,  however,  five  of Fox's works  are  being commercially published. 
"Membrain"  (Harpers  Square  Press,  Chicago)  is  a  book of Fox's poetry that 
presents  a collection of descriptions  arid  impressions  of his  family  and childhood 
on the south side of Chicago  during the depression of the '30s. 

A  500  - page  volume,  "The  Living  Underground:  An  Anthology"  (Whitson 
Press,  Troy,  N.Y.),  is  the  second in a four - part series on underground poets. Fox 
says  it  takes  in the  works  of about  100 authors who  have been ignored by other 
collectors of underground literature since  1945. 

Whitson  Press  is  also  releasing  "An  Aesthetics  for  the  Year  10,000"  this 
summer.  It began as  a project  to bring  Fox  up  to  date  on  all  major avant - garde 
trends  in  art,  literature  and  music.  In  the  book, he  adds his  own  projections of 
where  avant - garde movements are headed. 

But  of all his  soon  - to - be  published material, Fox is most excited about two 

novels from Venice Publishing Corp.  in Van Nuys, Calif. 

"Letters of an Old Pro" was inspired by a review of the writings of Bette Davis, 
Mae  West,  Joan Crawford,  Helen  Hayes,  Lucille  Ball,  Loretta Young  and others," 
says Fox. 

He  calles  these  women  '<the  winners,"  and  defmes  them  as  female  actresses 
who  were  successful  as  artists and business women in long careers, made millions, 
grew  old gracefully, were  still going  strong  at  an advanced age,  and who were not 
hung up on drugs or alcohol.-

'~'Letters of an  Old  Pro,"  he  says,  is  a collection of letters fmm  one  of these 
grand  old  women,  Electra  Fox,  to  her  niece,  Connie.  Written  in the tradition  of 
"Sex  and  the  Single  Girl"  and  ''The  Female  Eunuch,"  says ' Fox,  they  advise 
Conilie about men. 

r 

He  says the book is written the way he thinks Bette Davis looks at life. 
The  second  novel from Venice Publishing is called "Just Empty," a story based 
on the  psychological conflict between the hero's wife and a Mexican girl who lives 
with  the  family.  Part  of  the  action  takes  place  at  Synanon,  the  drug  and 
psychological rehabilitation center in Los Angeles.

HUGH  FOX STRIKES one as bein~ almost frantic about his,work, racing to do 
all  he  can before  everything comes tQ  a screeching halt for seme unknown reason. 
As  an  educator, ' Fox  sees  himself  as  an  "integrator"  and  an  "activator." He 
encourages blacks  and whites in  his  classes  to  discuss  their  feelings and attitudes. 
For many, it's. ~he first  t~ they have written or talked that way, he  says. 

He  tries to teach his students to think. ~'I pretend they're 'iHI  geniuses," he  says, 

"and often they come up tQ  it ." 

"Actually, all we  can do' in four years is get them started," Fox adds. "If I see a 
student  10  years from  now,  and  I ask  him what he's reading and he says nothing, 
then  I've  failed.  If he  is  actively  exploring  literature  on  his  own,  then  I've 
succeeded." 

As a writer, Fox says he is what his mother made him. "I'm not Jewish, but she 

was a typicalJ ewish, non - Jewish, mother." 

"Mother  never  had  a  career  with  which  to  fulml  herself,"  he  says. "She's a 
member of the  older generation of pre  - liberated  women  who  live  through their 
children." 

*  *  * 
AFTER  A  BOUT  WITH  polio,  Fox  was  pushed by his  mother into  the  arts: 
Ballet, violin, opera, music composition, foreign languages, painting, sculpture and 
endless  reading.  He  was editor of his high school' newspaper. While other teenagers 
played  baseball,  Fox  hung  out  at  ballet  rehearsals  in  the  Chicago  Civic  Opera 
House. 

''Then  I got  into college, and I was suppose~ to be an M.D." in the tradition of 

his pediatrician father, he  recalls. 

: c  . 

. '  

The  results were  "tragic," and  Fox eventually  dropped  out  to  pursue a degree 

in English. 

After colle,ge he describes his life  as frustrating and dismal. 

He  talks  of a  marriage  which  ended  in  divorce,  the  inability  to be  published, 
psychological  problems  in  his  family  and  himself,  and  frustratiOli  because  he 
couldn't produce all he wanted to. 

He  says  he  spent  10  years while  teaching  at  Loyola  University  in  Los Angeles 

"sitting in a garage  writing novels." None was published then. 

He  has  written nearly  10  plays,  a musical  comedy, a ballet,  has had ideas for 

choral works, and has written and performed his own mUSic. 

*  *  * 
OF  HIS  NOVELS  he  says,  "The biggest  complaint  has been that (my work) is 
too  difficult.  I thought  I was  a popular  novelist, but  I had too  much education. 
When  I  began  to  write  I  set  out, to  write  best  - sellers,  but  after  two  years of 
reading  Henry James, you begin  to write  like  Henry James,  and he  wouldn't  get 
published today." 

Fox  says he  is  lucky  to  be  with  Venice  Publishing.  According  to  him,  Venice 
began  by  producing  "adult  fiction",  'but  now  is  interested  in  developing  new 
authors. 

"It's been  year  - after - year - after - year of people saying 'We  don't want your 
stuff,'  for one reason or another, but now I'm starting to get bites from New York 
publishers,"  he  says.  "If they think Venice  is  going  to  make  money  on me, then 
they say, 'Let's take him.' " 

Fox's  reaction  is  to  reject  New  York  and  stick with the west  coast  publisher 

who  showed faith in him first. 

He  doesn't  look upon his new publications as necessarily "the big break" in his 
life.  He  says  he  would  really  feel  good  if  he  could  interest  Hollywood  in 
screenplays of some of his novels, especially, "Letters of an Old Pro." 

*  *  * 
THINGS  ARE  GETTING  brighter  for  Fox  now.  Since  his  divorce  and  re  -
marriage  he  says  people  have  told him that his work has come alive  and expresses 
more  feeling. 

Psychotherapy and his new family have  helped him to feel  and expre.ss emotion 

for the frrst time in a long time, he says. 

He  observes  that  he  has  shifted  from  writing  about  abstract  concepts  to 

focusing on people, especially his parents and children. 

There's  a  flood  of literary  material  in Hugh  Fox  waiting  for  the  gates  of 

commercial publishers to open and let it out.  '. 

They may be opening now. Fox would like that.

Videotaping  teachers for . iOnstant  replay' 

How  can  teachers  become  more 

effective at their profession? 

Shlomo  Libeskind,  visiting  assistant 
professor  of  mathematics, 
found  one 
solution  in  an  orange  - and  - yellow 
de corated  classroom  with  television 
cameras, monitors and microphones. 

In  the  new  Experimental  Classrom 
Facility.  located  in  112  Morrill  Hall; 
graduate  teaching  assistants  in 
mathematics  are  attempting  to  learn 
how  to  improve  their  teaching 
techniques. 

In  addition  to  those  in mathematics, 
faculty  and  graduate  students  from 
several  other departments have used the 
experim~ntal classroom. 

Every  other  week  during  the  term, 
the  graduate  assistants  in  mathematics 
hold  one  of their  class  meetings in the 
facility.  A  technician  videotapes  the 
class  session. The graduate assistants can 
have 
the  cameras  follow  them,  the 
students, or both simultaneously. 

Then  they  can  watch  their tapes and 
their  strengths  and 

de te rmine 
weaknesses. 

To  aid  further  in  their  development 
as t~achers, the graduate  assistants meet 
weekly  to  review  each other's tapes and 
offer criticism .. They  are guided in these 
sessions  by  Libeskind  and  Lawrence 
Alexander, professor and director of the 
Learning Service.

"These  students  have  excellent 
training  in  the  subject  matter  but  most 
have  no  formal  education  in  teaching 
skills," he says. 

*  *  * 
TIllS  TERM  six  graduate  assistants 
in math are  participating in the  elective 
program.  Eighteen  were  involved during 
the fall and winter terms. 

"The  classroom  facility 

is  most 
useful  because  the  graduate  assistants 
themselves  their  actual 
can  see 

for 

teaching  presentations.  They  can  view 
their  responses  and  the  students' 
responses;" Libeskind says. 

"The  taped  sessions may often reveal 
why  students  are ex~eriencingproblems 
in understanding the instructor." 

Jan  Baker,  graduate  assistant,  says 
that she  has found  the  program  to be  a 
tremendous  aid.  "I didn't  realize  things 
that  I  do  while  teaching  until  I  saw 
them on tape," she  says. 

And  Miss  Baker says  she  appreciates 
viewing  other graduate  assistants'  tapes 
because  she  has  been  able  to  pick  up 
new techniques from them. 

Another  graduate  assistant,  Sanford 
Lefkowitz,  says  that  the  program  has 
given  him  confidence  in  his  teaching. 
''Normally  you  start  college  teaching 
without  any  practice.  It  can  be  very 
scarey." 

*  *  * 
PRIO R  TO  the  opening  of  the 
facility  this  fall,  Libeskind  had  used 
other methods, 
tapes,  class 
visitations  and  simulated  classroom 
situations  to  help  young  teachers.  But 
he  says  the  experimental  classroom has 
proved to be best.

"'A lexan'der  notes  that  the

resources provided by  Learning Services 
are  free  to faculty andgroouate  stuaents. 
The  experimental  classrom  consists 
of a  control  room,  a  classroom  for  60 
students,  and  a  seminar  room  that 
accommodates 30 persons. Each room is 
pleasantly  decorated,  air  conditioned, 
carpeted  and  equipped  with  two

A  director  and  two  technicians

equipment  capable of instant replay and

UCC:  At the heart 
of the University 

/Note:  This is another in 
the News·Bulletin 
series on  the University  standing committees.) 

There  are  more  than  6,000  course 
sections  at  this  University.  Each  year 
there are hundreds of additions, changes, 
deletions.  Evaluation  each  change  is the 
responsibility  of  the  University 
Curriculum Committee (UCe). 

Not  surprisingly,  it calls  for  a  lot  of 
paperwork.  A  typical  agenda  for  the 
committee is more than an inch thick. 

Robert  Banks,  dean of James Madison 
College  and former  UCC  chairman, says 
that  if  it  weren't  for  Kermit  Smith, 
assistant  to  the  provost  and  UCC 
secretary, "we would all collapse in a sea 
of papers." 

Smith has been secretary of UCC  since 
1949.  He  remembers  when 
the 
conunittee  consisted  of  three  persons 
appointed  by  the  president.  He  has 
watched  the  UCC  grow to its current 30 
members,  including  a  faculty  member 
from each college, one noncollege faculty 
member,  nine  students  and  various  ex 
officio members. 

The  charge  to  UCC,  specified  in  the 
Bylaws  for  Academic Governance, is  to 
review,  evaluate  and  approve  or 
in  courses, 
disapprove  all  changes 
curricula,  and degree  requirements,  and 
to  advise 
the  Academic  Council  and 
provost on appropriate action. 

UCC  is  also  charged with considering 
establishment  and  deletion  of  courses 
and curricula. 

THE  CURRICULUM  COMMITTEE. 
then,  deals  with  the  very  heart  of  a 
the  courses  which will  be 
University  -
taught. 

Time  can be  spent  on  any number  of 
things, - beyond review of the myriad of 
course change request forms presented to 
the  committee. Smith says UCC  has also 
worked on grading questions and on how 
to inform students and advisers of course 
changes. Einar Hardin, professor oflabor 

and industrial relations and current UCC 
chairman  lists  more:  The  continuing 
question  of curricular review  of ROTC 
(the review  was  initiated two  years ago), 
the  relationship  between  contact  and 
credit  hours,  interdisciplinary  courses, 
minimum enrollment for courses, general 
education criteria, etc. 

The UCC  does have certain regulations 
now  being  enforced  concerning 
minimum  enrollment.  Courses  without 
enrollment  face  deletion  unless  their 
need can be justified by a department or 
college.  Smith  said  as  many  as  430 
sections  have  been  dropped  in  a  term 
because oflowpre -enrollment., 

Courses which have not been taught in 
four years also face deletion, accordi~g to 
University  regulations.  Such a  com;~"i;s 
automatically  deleted  from " th~ 
University  catalog unless the college 'and 
departme'nt  specifically  request'its 
retention  and justify  it. More  than,-lOO 
courses have been dropped in the past six 
years.

into  four 
subcommittees.  Three  are  in  subject 
areas:  Arts  and  letters,  natural  science 
and social science. The fourth is a policy 
subcommittee  composed  of  the  other 
three  subconunittee  chairmen,  the  UCC 
chairman and three students. 

is  divided 

The  UCC 

In the past, Hardin says, the UCC had 
to  handle  such  a  heavy  flow  of course 
proposals  that  little  time  was  left  for 
policy  considerations.  The  flow  has 
dropped  somewhat,  he  said,  and  the 
policy subconunittee was set up last year. 
T-he  subconunittee  structure  allows 
much  of the  course  evaluation  to  take 
place  in .smaller  groups  which  usually 
contaiil  members  with  expertise  in  the 
area.  And,  Hardin  says,  the  committee 
always tries to be equitable and fair,  and 
when necessary it keeps in contact with a

Walter Verdehr to perform 
with Chamber Orchestra 

Walter  Verdehr  started  playing  the 
violin  when he received one  for his eighth 
birthday, and, he says,  "I've been playing 
ever since." 

"Ever  since"  includes  study  at  the 
Juilliard  School  of  Music  (where  he 
received  three  degrees),  at  the  Vienna 
Academy of Music (where he studied on a 
Fulbright grimt)' and  across  the  country 
with numerous orchestras. 

Verdehr,  assistant  professor  of music, 
will  appear  with  the  MSU  Chamber 
Orchestra Tuesday (May 23) at 8: 15 p.m. 
in the Music Auditorium. 

He  will  perform  Prokofieffs  second 
Violin  Concerto.  The  program  also 
includes Haydn's Symphony No. 104 and 
Ernest  Toch's "The Chinese Flute" with 
soprano  Suzanne  Wernette,  a  graduate 
student. 

Verdehr  says that MSU  attracted him 
because  "It  has  an  excellent  music 
department, and there is a cordial feeling 
among the faculty. 

"There  are  also  many  excellent 
performers  with  whom  one  can 

collaborate  in chamber musiC,"  he adds, 
"  such  as  pianists  Ralph Votapek  and 
David  Renner,  and my string colleagues 
in the Beaumont Quartet." 
,  Verdehr  performs  extensively  on and 
off the campus and throughout Michigan. 
Next month he will appear as soloist with 
the  Houston  Symphony.  He  has  also 
performed  with orchestras in  California 
and  New  York,  and  toured  under  the 
auspices of New  York's Lincoln Center. 
And  he  has  performed  in  Vienna  and 
other Austrian cities. 

As  a  teacher,  Verdehr  has  15  to  20 
students a term. "Each student," he says 
"presents a challenge. I have to discover a 
student's  musical  and  physical 
capabilities, and fIgure  out a way to help 
him." 

He tires to increase student exposure to 
classical  music.  This  term,  for example, 
he  has  played  several  concerts  with 
colleagues for humanities classes. 

"We  talk to the  students who haven't 
heard  much  classical  music  and  are 
delighted when they take to it." 

Seeding  the  Red Cedar 

-Photo by Bob Brown 

Students working in cooperation with the Waste  Control  Authority recently 
planted  trout in  the Red Cedar River to show that the river, while not pollution 
free, is at least in better condition than it once was. Tom Shubat and Jeff Adcock 
put  five  rainbow  trout  -
into  the  river  behind  the 
stili  in  special  cages  -
Administration  Building.  After three hours,  the  fish  were released, still in good 
condition..  Since  trout  are  very  sensitiVe  to pollutants,  their ability  to survive 
would  mean  that  such  fish  as smallmouth  bass  and  pike  could  live  in  the Red 
Cedar.
