Deliveries  with  showmanship 

Carl Vieth makes his deliveries from the Universities Stores with showmanship. 
Vieth, of Stores - Receiving, is also Carl Karl, the only magician listed in Lansing's 
Yellow Pages. 

Many  an MSU  secretary has  watched  things  disappear  in  Veith's hands. And 

many a secretary has asked him, "How do you do it?" His reply: "Very well." 

Veith is a self - taught magician, dating back to teenage  days when he visited a 

small southern Michigan town billed as the magic capital of the world. 

Since  then he has appeared  in  cafeterias, classrooms, meeting halls, on stages 
and  on  television  throughout  the  area,  with  tricks  from  sleight  of hand  to 
levitation. 

He lists four codes of a magician: 
*Never  tell  how  a trick is done; 90 percent of the time it's so  simple it would 

insult  the  viewer's  intelligence,  it  would no  longer be  spectacular. 
- *Practice ad inftnitum. 

*Never do the same trick in the same way for the same audience. 
*Anyone  could  perform  magic;  the  idea is  to entertain; most magicians  are 

actors. 

Why  does  one  get into the magic  business?  Veith says it's like anything else, 
from  sports to ham  radio  operation.  He  himself enjoys it. But it's more than a 
hobby: he calls himself a semi - professional. 

Magic serves as an ice breaker, Veith says. He doesn't need specific tricks, he can 
pick up any  object - a pen and paper,  for  example  - and perform before the 
unbelieving eyes. 
' 
Magic is, he says, psychological, mathematical or mechanical ... but still magic.

Even with new fee  increase, it will  be 
another fiscal year of budget squeezing 

_ .. 

... 

Even  with  estimated  revenue  from 
in  1972-73 
the  announced  increase 
student  fees, 
the  University  faces  a 
serious ftnancial strain for the third time 
in as many years. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  last  Friday 
(May  19)  approved a  $1  - per - credit -
hour increase  for  all  students,  the  [lIst 
fee  hike here in two years. 

Roger  E.  Wilkinson,  vice  president 
for  business  and  [mance,  said  that  the 
fee  increase  is  necessary  because  funds 
available  for  next  year  would not have 
been  adequate  to  meet  expenses;  even 
with  cuts in  present budget allocations. 
Wilkinson  said  that  the 
administration  reviewed' estimated 
revenues  from  state  appropriations, 
student  fees  and  other  sources,  and 
examined  projected  expenditures, 
taking into account the rising ftxed cost 
expenditures. 

If next  year's  revenues  meet current 
estimates  - and  they include  about $1.5 
million  more expected from the new fee 
schedule  -
those  revenues may  still fall 
from  $500,000  to  $1  million  short  of 
projected expenditures.  This means that

A ward  winners 
are  honored 

Seventeen  faculty  members  and 
six  graduate  assistants  received 
awards  for  their  teaching,  research 
and  scholarship  Tuesday  at  the 
annual Awards Convocation. 

Eleven  received  the  $1,000 
Distinguished Faculty Awards, six on 
the  $1,000 Teacher Scholar Awards, 
and six  received  $500 Excellence - in 
- Teaching  Citations.  Photos  of the 
\.winners are on pages 4·and 5. 

reductions from current year allocations 
will  be  needed, Wilkinson  said,  and  the 
cuts  will  corne  largely  from  the  two 
areas  that have  been  reduced  in  each of 
two  years:  Academic  and 
the  past 
nonacademic  operating  expenses,  and 
major alterations and improvements. 

He  noted  that the  Univ-ersity  is thus 
faced  with  moving  into  another  ftscal 
year  in  moo  major  physical  plant 
maintenance projects  will  have  to  be 
deferred. 

And  he  added  that  consideration of 
as  yet 

1972-73  wage  adjustments  -

undetermined '-will  have  to  take  into 
account 
the  existing  Federal  wage 
guidelines. 

Under  the  revised  student  fees, 
resident  undergraduates  will  pay  $15 
instead  of  $14  per  credit  hour,  and 
resident  graduate  students will pay  $16 
instead  of  $15.  Nonresident 
undergraduates  will  pay  $34 instead of 
$33  per  credit  hour,  and  nonresident 
graduate  students  $35  instead  of $34. 
Off-campus  courses will  increase  by  $1 
to $23 per credit. 

The' Board  voted  6-2  to  approve  the 
new  fees,  with Claire  White  and Warren 
Huff opposing. 

White  said  he  objected  to  the 
in cre ase  as  "a  convenient  way  to 
b alan ce 
in sufficient  legislativ-e 
appropriations  by  taxing the  students." 
But  Don  Stevens  pointed  out  that 
with  student  aid  grants  now  available 
here,  more  than  8,000  Michigan 
residents  last  year  received  the 
maximum  award  (half  tuition),  thus 
placing  their  fees  at  a  level  lower  than 
that of 10 years ago. 

Board okays urban proposal, 
University adds its  17th  college 

The  University  will  soon  have  its 
17th college - the College of Urban and 
Metropolitan  Development.  The  Board 
of Trustees voted  6 - 2 Friday (May  19) 
to approve President Wharton's proposal 
for establishing the College. 

Trustees  Patricia  Carrigan,  Frank 
Hartman, Blanche  Martin, Don  Stevens, 
Kenneth  Thompson  and  Clair  White 
supported the proposal. 

Martin,  in endorsing  the  college, said 

that it"is long  overdue." 

Stevens  spoke  in  support  of  the 
urban  college and read a letter signed by 
14  senior  faculty  members  giving  their 
support to the college. 

The  proposals  approved  by  the 
Board,  together  with  a  story  outlining 
President  Wharton's  rationale  for  the 
college  concept,  are  on  page  6  of 
today's paper. 

Although  the  proposal  passed  by  a 
wide  vote, most of the  discussion  came 
from  trustee  Warren M. Huff, who, with 

Frank  Merriman,  opposed  the  motion. 
Huff said  that  although he  advocates 
University  involvement  in urban  affairs, 
he  opposed  the  recommendations 
"because  1  think  the  proposal  is  too 
narrow  to  meet  the  real  challenge  of 
urban  affairs,  and  1  think  we  need  a 
definition of 'urban problems'." 

Merriman  said  he  voted  against  the 
proposal  because  he  did  not  favor  one 
college.  "I favor the educational poliCies 
committee's (EPC)  offtce  model.  Either 
model can accomplish the mission, and 1 
think  it  could  be  better handled  by  an 
Office  of  Urban  Affairs.  A  cross  -
section of the University is needed." 

Wharton's  proposal  grew  out  of 
recommendations  made  by  the  EPC. 
The  EPC  suggested  both  an  offtce  and 
college  model  for  urban  affairs.  The 
committee  stated  that  it  "expresses no 
preference  for  one  over  the  other." 
(News - Bulletin, May  4). 

Huff and Merriman  also  said that the 

president's  proposal  was  the  result  of 
political  and  other  pressures.  But 
Wharton  said  later that in the  past  two 
months he  had not discussed the matter 
_with any  state legislator. 

Huff  also  said  that  "some  see  the 
urban  college  as  a  device  for  giving 
degrees  to  students  not  academically 
qualilled  otherwise." And he added that 
the  proposed  college  lacked  structure 
and  curriculum requirements. 

Wharton  acknowledged  that  there 
were  some  deftciencies  due  to  time 
constraints but these  problems could be 
handled  through  the  committees 
established  in  his  proposal.  And  he 
emphasized 
that  he  had  met  the 
deadline  by  having  his recommendation 
. 
to the board last week. 
Approval  of  the  proposal  inclu'ded 
naming  Robert L.  Green, director of the 
Center  for  Urban  Mfairs  (CUA),  as 
acting dean of the college.

Stevens lauds  Wharton's  handling  of detnonstrations 

To the editor: 

The  past  two weeks have  been  trying 
for  the  University.  An  institution  of 
higher  education  is  particularly 
vulnerable  to  disruption  in  times  of 
emotional  crisis.  Now  that greater  calm 
has  returned,  the  predictable  Monday 
morning  quarterbacks  are  with  us.  In 
such  cases,  the  air  is  always  filled  with 
"what ifs." 

"What if the 400 who ftrst sat down on 
Grand  River  had  been left alone  as  the 
mayor  and  president  had  decided?" 
"What  if the State Police  had not been 
called  in?"  "What  if the  order had not 
been given to use tear gas?" "What if the 
president had tried to soothe the anger of 
4,000  persons?"  "What  if  the  Tuesday 
evening negotiations had granted all  the 
demonstrators'  demands?"  "What if the 
demonstrators  had  been  permitted  to 
retain  control  of  the  Administration 
Building?" 

Speculation may  be  goo'd dinner table 

conversation, but  it is  no way  to run  a 
University or a city. And few would now 
contend that alternative responses to any 
of these  matters would have  moved  the 
United  States  one  inch  closer  to 
disengagement from the Vietnam War. 

During  President  Wharton's 
administration,  the  University  has 
successfully  weathered  three  separate 
instances  of  major  unrest.  Among  the 
major  lessons  which  emerged  from  his 
wise  handling  of the  situation  was  the 
need  for  a  cool  head.  Negotiating with 
a'IDwling  crowd  is  not  like  running  for 
public  offtce.  This 
time  for 
grandstand  plays.  One  is  dealing with a 
high level of emotion in which each step 
must  be  carefully  and  objectively 
assessed. The decisions which a president 
or leader makes have to be lived with for ~ 
long  time.  The  unwise  or  impractical 
concessions  given  in  the  heat  of  the 
moment may often come back to haunt 
not only  the  institution itself but those

"Women  aTe  not  altogether  wrong 
when  they  refuse  the  rules  of  life 
prescribed in  the world, forsomuch  as only 
men  have  established  them  without  their 
consent. " 

-Montaigne,  "Essays" 

Women  at  Michigan  State  are 
working  very  hard  to  change  the  rules. 
Meeting  every  night  and  ·on 
weekends,  members  of  the  Women's 
Ste~ng Committee have been grappling 
witH.  some 
of the  toughest problems 
facing  university  administfators  Mday . 
Three  months  ago  the  16  women 
were  appointed  to  the  committee  by 
President  Wharton  and  charged  with 
designing  and  recommending  a 
permanent  structure  to  advise  on  the 
status of women at MSU. 

Next  week 

at  a  special  press 
conference  the  Women's  Steering 
Committee  will  present  its 
recommendations. Much  to  their  credit, 
the  report  will  go  far  beyond  the 
structural recommendations. 

Committee  members  also  accepted 
the  president's  charge 
to  identify 
emerging  issues  to  serve  as  women's 
advocate  and to proposed future  action. 
They  zeroed  in  on  student  concerns, 
and  such  as  age  of majority,  fmancial 
aids and equality in admissions.

Leadership  is  not  just  being  seen  in 
front  of  the  TV cameras  doing  "one's 
thing,"  but being certain  of one's  facts 
before one acts. What is the real mood of 
the crowd? What is their intent? Who are 
their real leaders? Are they real leaders or 
are  they  self  - proclaimed?  Do  they 
exercise  any  real control or leadership? . 
Can they deliver on their commitments? 
And  most  important,  is  there  any  real 
possibility that the means they advocate 
will  contnbute  to  the  objectives  they 
seek? 

These  are  never  easy  questions  to 
answer and rushing' pell-mell into the fray 
may  be  good  press  but  often  bad 
leadership.  Visibility  is  sorretiJres 
important;  sound judgment based upon 
maximum  information  is  always 
important. 

, 

As one friend recently observed, playing 
to  the  crowd  may  be  good  for  a  fast 
sprint,  but  impractical  and 
counterproductive if you, are  in  a long -
distance ruO!

i~; 1  _  ,:.::. 
During  the  tense ' moments  of  May 
1970, when virtually evewone was urging 
President Wharton ,tq c<!11 \lP the National 
Guard , his j udgment was to the contrary, 
and  he  w a s  r ight .  The  multiple 
information  provided  him  from  various 
sources  gave  him  the  conftdence  that 
such  a  decision  was  premature.  Had he 
been  seeking  visibility  around  that 
marching crowd of 5,000, would he have 
had  the  correct  perspective  and 
objectivity? I don't believe so. 

Similarly  in  the  present  case,  strong 
pressures were reported urging President 
Wharton to ask the governor to declare a 

state  of emergency.  Again,  he declined. 
But for  those  who like  to speculate, let 
them  consider  the  question:  "What 
would have been the reaction of the tens 
of thousands  of students who were  not 
demonstrating  to  an  enforced  curfew 
with  State  Police  continually  on  the 
campus?" 

The  initial  judgment  which  Mayor 
Brookover  made  early Tqesday evening 
not  to  move  on the demonstrators was 
correct,  and  President  Wharton 
concurred.  He  visited  the  crowd  and 
concluded that it would not run rampant. 
Mrs. Wharton visited  the crowd and gave 
the same report, as did other sources. 

One final point. Each decision which a 
president makes must be taken from the 
standpoint  of  the  well-being  of every 
man, woman, and child on this 5,000 acre 
campus.  Not  merely 
that  of  the 
demonstrators but the nondemonstrators 
as  well.  He must make  any decisions on 
the  basis  of  their  total  welfare  and 
physical  well  - being.  Those  deciSion,S 
must  be  based  on  cool  judgment  and 
ca frie d  our- t.Wi'th  fir mn ess  and 
understanding: '  believe  that  they werd. 
leadership  requires  m uc'li 
more than visibility; the true leaders must 
make  the hiud  decisions  which will  not 
always  be  popular  with  everyone  but 
which display a full understanding of the 
issues. Most important, he must have the 
good judgment and courage to transcend 
short  - term  difftculties and maintain a 
positive course  toward a long - run goal. 
I for one commend the president on his 
commitment to maintain the integrity of 
the  institution and his wise  handling of 
the situation.

History  in  sound 
From  far~boy to  ~,~to giant 

By G.  ROBERT VINCENT 
Curator, National Voice Library 
(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.) 

Henry Ford, the Michigan farm boy 
who loved  to tinker with mechanical 
devices, a self - made engi.neer with an 
uncanny nose for market trends, was a 
leading  name  in America's social and 
industrial history. Model T's and later 
Model  A's  swarmed  the land, making 
Ford a  billionaire. 

In  1938, Ford invited  me  to  come 
from New  York,  as  his  guest, to visit 
the  Edison  Institue  in Dearborn. The 
citizens of Detroit were holding a huge 
outdoor  celebration  in  honor  of 

Henry Ford's 75th birthday. 

At the ceremony, with hundreds of 
children  singing  "Happy  Birthday," 
his  wife,  Mrs.  Clara  Ford, was  asked 
what  she  thought of the occasion. It 
was  her  flISt  appearance  before  a 
microphone: 

"I  think  it's  a  thrilling  sight  .  .  . 
perfectly beautiful!  ... I'm so happy 
to think that the people of Detroit and 
surroundings  appreciate  what  Mr. 
Ford has  tried to do for them ... He 
worked so hard and tried so hard to do 
what he can for people ... And I'm so 
happy to think tha.t they appreciate it 

" 

At the dedication  of Ford  Field in 
the  automotive  titan 
Dearborn, 
himself spoke to his fellow townsfolk: 
"Friends  and  neighbors. Thanks for 
your greeting tonight. It's good to see 
so  large  a  gathering in such a  happy 
mood.  This  is  probably  because  we 
Dearbornites  know  how  to  play  as 
well  as  work.  This fteld  is  really  the 
village green of our toV'.'Il and for many 
years it has been the place of outdoor 
recreation for both old and young ... 
Mrs.  Ford and I take great pleasure in 
presenting it to Dearborn. Thank you 
all and good night ... " 

When  Henry Ford died on April 7, 
1947,  one  of every  seven persons in 
the U.S.  was employed in the motor 
car  or allied industries -
thanks to a 
Michigan  farm boy who had a dream 
and followed it through.

Citizen  awards presented 

Osborn  Elliott,  chainnan  of  the  board  and  chief  executive  officer  of 
Newsweek, Inc. will deliver the spring tenn commencement address at 4 p.m, June 
11, in Spartan Stadium. 

Undergraduate  degreees  will  be  awarded  at  the  afternoon  ceremony,  and 

graduate degrees will be given at 10 a.m. in the Auditorium. 

Honorary degrees will  be  awarded  to Russell  G. Mawby, president of the W.K. 
Kellogg  Foundation  of Battle  Creek; Henry L.  Caulkins,  president  of Waterways 
Navigation  Co.  of Detroit;  and  Percy  L.  Julian,  director of the  Julian  Research 
Institute of Chicago. 

Elliott, a  Harvard alumnus,  held editorial positions on Time  Magazine and the 
New  York  Journal  of  Commerce  before  joining  Newsweek  as  senior  editor  in 
charge  of business news in  1955. He  was named managing editor of the magazine 
in  1959,  editor in  1961  apd editor - in  - chief in  1969. He  was promoted to his 
present position in March. 

Under  Elliott's  nine  - year  leadership  as  editor,  Newsweek's  circulation 
increased more  than 75 percent and the  magazine  became  the third largest in the 
nation in advertising pages. It is now second. 

Elliott is  the  author of the book "Men at the Top" (1959) and served as editor 

of "The Negro  Revolution" (1964). 

Grant to  help  veterans 

Veterans  who  are  MSU  students  will  be  used  to  assist  other veterans under  a 

program to be launched with a $15,000 federal grant.

Nonnamaker said tl).e ,a~istants woqld conduct "out - reac::A'" programs to contact 
veterans returning to the area, couns~1 them on educational benet1ts to. which they 
are entitled and enrollment requirements at MSU and other schools, and worle with 
enrolled veterans on their benefit rights or readjustment problems. 

They  also  will coordinate with the Lansing Area Veterans Task Force on general 

problems affecting veterans. 

''More  than  40,000  discharged  veterans  are  returning to Michigan  each  year," 
Nonnamaker noted. ''MSU presently has more than  2,500 enrolled, and we expect 
this number to inciease rapidly. 

"Many  returning  veterans,  however,  are  not  fully  aware  of their  educational 
benefits under the Gl Bill or how to go about taking advantage of them. Still others, 
once they are on campus, have problems with which they needllelp." 

The program, under the direction of Veterans Coordinator Don Svoren is expected 

to last at least through Marc1l, 1973.

Selectibn~ committee to  report 

Recommendations  from  the  ad  hoc  committee  studying  the  procedure  for 
selecting  the  chief  academic  officers  of the  University  will  occupy  part  of  the 
Academic Countil's agenda for its meeting at 3: 15 p.m. next Thursday (June  1) in 
the Con Con Room.. 

. 

The Council was originally scheduled to meet May 30. 
The Council is  also  expected to hear a report by student member Alan Will, and 
Robert Perrin, vice president for University relations, on the mechanisms available 
for campus - wide polls. 

Will  sought  the  Faculty  Steering  Committee's  approval  for  placement  on  the 

agenda to see if a community poll could be taken on the war issue. 

; 

"Since the University can't take an institutional stand, this would be a way to fmd 
out  and  make  public  the  current  feelings  of  the  issue  from  the  University 
connnunity," he said. 

Will added that the mechanisms for polling would probably not be operational  this 

tenn. 

In  other  action,  the  steering  committee  referred  a  motion  on  censure  policy, 
approved  by  the  Academic  Senate  on  May  17,  to  the  academic  governance 
committee for review. 

Council to  examine censure role 
The  Academic  Council  has  been  asked  to  detennine  its  authority  to  censure 

members ofthe faculty. 

The request came at the spring meeting of the Academic Senate on May 17 when a 
motion was approved asking that the detennination be made and, if the Council does 
have the authority, that a censure policy be developed no later than the end of the 
fall tenn, 1972. 

The meeting was attended by 107 faculty members. 
The motion came from Bob Repas, professor oflabor and industrial relations. 
Repas and Clair White, of the Board of Trustees, were censured by the Council in 
November  for  their  actions  in  releasing  and  publicizing  faculty  salary lists with 
names. (News - Bulletin, Dec. 2, 1971). 

In other action, the Senate passed proposed changes in the Bylaws for Academic 

Governance. 

The proposed amendments call for mcluding instructors within the tenure track in 
University - wide matters and admitting them to membership in the Senate; allowing 

noncollege  faculty  to  participate  in academic governance; shifting  the  academic 
governance  process  to coincide  with the  academic calendar;  allowing mid - year 
student  vacancies on Council  standing  committees  to-oe  filled  by  the  original 
appointing  body;  arid  rewording  the  section  on  studentrepresentatives at - large 
membership on the Council.

(Concluded from page 1) 

Huff emphasized that his objection to 
the  proposal  was  not  an  opposition  to 
Green as acting dean. 

Green  had  given  his  full  support  to 
the  proposal  at  one  informal  session  of 
the Board Thursday night. 

Green stressed he hoped that the new 
college  wouldn't place  a fmancial  strain 
on  CUA,  and  that  "a  financial  ceiling 
isn't placed on the new college." 

Lester  Manderscheie,  professor  of

chairman,  alSo  endorsed the  president's 
proposal at the informal session. 

"The  EPC 

is  pleased  that  the 
president's  proposal  is  consistent  with 
EPC's  proposal,  but  the  committee  is 
concerned  with  a  delay 
in  the

said.  "This  is  a  ve .. ~y  important 
mechanism  for  achieving  research  and

Wharton  called  for  a  delay

establishing  a  Center  for  Research  and 
an  Urban  Extension  Service  because 
additional  funding ' is  needed  in  these 
areas. 

Manderscheid  said he  thought  it was 
premature  to  appoint  an  acting  dean 
and  that  such  action  would  prejudice 
the  search  and  selection  committee  in 
its choice of a permanent dean. 

Trustee  Carrigan  said  the  director of 
CUA  was  the most logical  individual to 
step into the positiori Of acting dean and 
"we  need  to  be  able  to  call '  on  that 
individual's  expertise.  I  would  hate  to 
have to turn elsewhere." 

In  a  news  conference  follOwing  the 
Friday  Board  meeting,  Wharton  said 
that  although  organization  of  the

Urban  development proposal

!.ollo~ is the proposal for a  College of Urban  Development presented to the 
Board by President  Wharton. 

1. That establishment of the College of Urban Development be approved based 

upon the broad outlines prapred by the educational policies committee. 

a. That steps be taken to organize two new departments - the Department of 
Urban  and Metropolitan Development and the Department of Race and Ethnic 
Studies Gointly  administered with the College of Social Science) and that plans 
two  department~ be  part ~f the charge to the group chaired by the 
for  these 
provost (see recommendation No. 2). J 

'I  • 

) '

. 

f 

. 

b.  That  the  separate  organizations  of a  Center  for  Research  and  iD1  Urban 
Extension Service be delayed. As indicated, additional funds are necessary if any 
separate research entity is  to  prove viable. For the urban extension service, the 
cooperation  with other universities, and internal evaluation and coordination of 
activities plus the recommendations  of the Lifelong  Education  Task Froce are 
needed. 

c.  That  the  president  be  authon,zed  to  continue  his  discussions with other 
Michigan  universities  on  the  possibility  of coordinated  or joint off - campus 
activites 
in  this  area  and  to  explore  with appropriate  university  officers and 
government officials the implications of these developments as they relate to the 
Cooperative Extension Service and the Continuing  Education Service. 

2. That the provost chair a committee composed of the dean of social science, 
the  dean of human ecology, the dean of James Madison College, the director of 
continuing education, the director of the Center for Urban Mfairs, the assistant 
provost  for  academic  planning,  the  chairman  of  the  educational  policies 
committee, and the chairman of the University Curriculum Committee to prepare 
recommendations  on  the  structural  questions feia te d to  the  new  college  for 
submission to the president and the Board of Trusrees. 

3. That the University Curriculum Committee be charged with the initial task of 
reviewing the already existing course offerings related to urban and metropolitan 
affairs  to  prepare  recommendations  for  the  college  on  possible  inclusions. 
SubsequentlY,  the  departmental  and  college  curriculum  committee  would 
develop course offerings by the college or with other academic units for review by 
the  University  Curriculum Committee before submitting them to the Academic 
Council for approval., 

4.  That  a  search  and  selection  committee  for  the  dean  of the  college  be 
established as specified above to submit three to five  names to the provost for 
consideration  and  recommendation to the president and the Board of Trustees. 
The  following  choices represent  those units which are currently involved most 
heavily  in  urban  activiites.  I  recommend  that  a  (15  - member) search  and 
advisory committee be chosen as follows: 

Elected FaCulty: Center for Urban Mfairs, 6 persons; and one person each from 
the College  of Social Science, College of Human Ecology, College of Education 
and JamesMadison College (a total of 10). 

Elected  students:  One  graduate student,  two undergraduates (one  of whom 

must be at -large) elected .,y student members of the Academic Council. 

. Appointed by Provost: Two faculty. 
5.  That,  upon  completion  of recommendations  la,  2,  3  and  4,  a  dean  be 
appointed; and that in the ~terim, the  director of the Center for Urban Affairs 
serve as acting dean of the college, and that thecenter continue to function with its 
existing officers, staff and programs. 

. 

demands of several  students and faculty 
urging  an  institutional stand against  the 
war in Vietnam, and the other to discuss 
the  proposal  for  a  College  of  Urban 
Ddevelopment. 

As  approved  by  the  Board, 

the 
grievance  procedures "shall not preempt 
or  replace  the  functions  of  the  Anti  -
Discrimination Policy and Procedures or 
of  the  University  Tenure  Committee 
except  to  provide  procedures  for  the 
appeal of administrative decisions not to 
reappoint  nontenured  faculty  in  the 
tenure stream" 

The  procedures  are  effective  for  one 
year or until they are incorporated in the 
faculty  rfghts  and  responsibilities 
document, whichever is sooner. 

Only  two  concerns  were  raised  this 

time by Board members: 

Trustee  Patricia  Carrigan  asked  that 
faculty  reconsider the  requirement  that 
the  three  tenured members  of the  five 
member  appeal  panels  (  in  cases  of 
nonreappointment  of  nontenured 
faculty)  will  come  from  the  University 
Tenure  Committee.  She  said  such  a 
system  makes  for  a  possible  adversary 
relationship  between  tenured  and 
nontenured faculty. 

And  Trustee  Warren  Huff  expressed 
concern  that  Board  members  have  the 
option  to  initiate  amendments  to  the 
grievance  procedures.  The  document 
now states that any faculty member may 
propose an amendment to the procedures 
and that such ptoPoSi\1s will go first to the 
faculty affairs and fauclty compensation 
committee (F AFCC). 

A  major provision ·of the  document is 
creation  of  the  position  of  faculty 
grievan ce  official  to  operate 
independently  of  the  "existing 
administrative  structures  of  the 
University"  and  who  shall  "receive  and 
make every effort to resolve grievances." 
The  Board  also  approved  a resolution 
extending  the  appointment  of  "any 
person  whose  appeal  of 
nonreappointment is formally underway 
within  the  University  governance 
(beyond  the  department  level  but  not 
beyond  the  Universi~y  level)." · The 
extension,  which  now  applies  to Eileen 
Van  Tassell,  is  for  one  year  beyond 
termination date. 

Miss Van Tassell, assistant professor of 
natural science, is scheduled for a hearing 
before  the  University  College  Faculty 
Affairs Committee next week.

College  model advantages cited 

President  Wharton  listed  several 
reasons  for  choice  of  a  college  model 
rather  ,than  an  office model in  meeting 
MSU's  commitment  to  solving  urban 
affairs. 

"The  college  model  is  clearly  more 
effective  than  the  office  model  if the 
Univeristy  intends  to  make  a  serious 
rather  than  token  effort  in  the  area  of 
urban  - metropolitan  problems,," 
Wharton said. 

He cited these advantages: 

*The  college  model  permits  a  small 
cohesive  group 
to  maintain  focus, 
emphasis,  priority,  evaluation,  and 
continuous  review  to  the  programs  in 
instruction, research and service. 

*The  college  model  gives  an 
academically  recognizable  contact point 
for approaching sources of support. 

*The  college  model  insures  that  the 
interests and insights of the urban thrust 
will  be  represented  on 
the  various 
academic  governing  bodies,  major 
advisory  committees  and  in  the 
Administrative Group. 

*The  true  line  structure  has  its  own 
budget,  and  must  be  responsible  and 
accountable  in terms of productivity for 
resources assigned to it. 
* A  problem  -

focused  academic 
programis  strengthened and enhanced in 
a  college  model  by  providing  better 
control  of the  faculty  reward  structure 
and  greater  degrees  of  freedom  for 
innovation.
