The actions of the 1967 Minnesota Legislature in support of education are a credit to its membership. Even though there were some things the University felt oould and should be done for the State which were not funded, the general level of appropriations reflects continued wisdom of Minnesotans in making an investment in their most valuable resource- people.

Compensations for University faculty and Civil Service staff members were substantially impr·oved by the actions of this year's Legislature and, as a result, the University has an enviable opportunity to maintain and strengthen its own human resources. At the same time, each member of the University community must exert increased effort to provide for the people of Minnesota the best teaching, research, and service that a university can offer.

Gaining widespread understanding of the University and its needs is a continuing responsibility for all of us. But, in legislative years, many individuals assume additional duties to help build this awareness of the University and its operations.

Principal leader in this effort is Vice-President Wenberg. An articulate and effective ambassador for the University at the Legislature and throughout the State, he has made invaluable contributions to the University cause.

Among those working with Vice-President Wenberg on the legislative team were Assistant Dean McFarland of the Institute of Agriculture and Associate Dean Gault of the College of Medical Sciences. To them and to the countless staff members who cooperated generously to make our efforts a success, I express deep appreciation on behalf of the University.

Appropriations totaling $153,872,451 were granted to the llniversity of Minnesota by an education-oriented 1967 State Legislature for a two-year period which started July 1, 1967. The total includes $131 million for the general opera­ tions and maintenance of the University and University Hospitals, support of the University Technical Institute at Crookston, and special state appropriations- chiefly for research and public service projects. I Rounding out the $153.8 million total appropriation is the $22.8 million allocated for new construction, remodel­ ing, and land purchase- one-third of the total State building program.

Reflecting the increasing needs of the University as de­ mands for its services in the areas of education, research, and public service continue to mount, the combined 1967- 69 appropriations exceed by more than $39 million the total given for the preceding two years. The increase in the building appropriation alone is $7 million.

Money provided by the Legislature for general opera­ tions and maintenance is the foundation on which the Uni­ versity's budget is built. The Legislature granted $51.8 million for the fiscal year 1967-68 and $59.1 million for the following year. These appropriations, along with other income such as tuition and fees, make it possible for the University to pay the costs of its fundamental work includ­ ing instructional costs at the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Duluth. and Morris campuses; the cost of operating and maintain­ ing buildings and grounds; general administrative costs; the cost of libraries; part of the cost of the Summer Ses­ sions and the General Extension Division; and the cost of operating the various experiment stations and schools.

University Hospitals, nucleus of one of the nation's out­ standing medical centers, will pay for its programs of patient care and medical research during the next two years chiefly from a Legislative appropriation of $9.4 mil­ lion. An additional $4.3 million was made available to reimburse the University for the counties' share of the cost of treating indigent patients.

In a special appropriation of $955,000- $455,000 for the first year and $500,000 for the second- the Legisla­ ture provided for the support of the new University of Min­ nesota Technical Institute at Crookston for the 1967-69 bi­ ennium. The Institute, which enrolled its first class last (continued on page 8) As President Wilson leaves to take his new position as Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences, the University extends a warm welcome to its new President, Dr. Malcolm Moos.

Both a strong salary program and a strong fringe benefit program are essential to the general health of the University.

"No University," he asserted, "can hope to maintain faculty eminence in all areas, but there are certain areas in which it is essential to maintain excellence. Without a generally high level of health, it is impossible to build peaks of excellence."

The funds earmarked by the Legislature and the Regents for faculty merit increase, the Vice-President predicted, will help the University achieve additional eminence in selected areas of great importance to Minnesota and the nation. In addition, he added, both the current salary im­ provement funding and the "catch-up" funding can be used to rectify inequities which have arisen for a variety of reasons in faculty salaries within the University.

"There has been an unevenness ·of salary progress," he explained, "from unit to unit and among faculty ranks within individual units. This gives us an opportunity to bring back into balance ranks within departments, depart· ments within colleges, and colleges within the University."

The 1967 Legislature approved a new pay plan for all State Civil Service employees. The 1967 appropriation act provides, as have such acts in previous sessions, that the University shall pay salaries comparable to those paid State Civil Service employees.

Under this act, all University Civil Service employees as well as State employees received at least an eight percent pay increase effective July 1, 1967. An appropriation of $2.6 million was made to the University to finance the new pay plan.

Merit increases for Civil Service employees for 1967-68 were authorized by the Legislature which provided $309,- 627 for this purpose- about half of the estimated cost.

Wenberg, Educational Relationships and Development. Mr. Wenberg is on a first-name basis with the majority of the legislators; he has been in their homes, on their farms, and in their places of business.

When the Legislature IS in session, his mornings, afternoons, and evenings are occu­ pied as he observes the legislative process, consults with legislative leaders, and answers questions regarding the University's budget and requests. The actual presentation of the University's request is made by the President of the Uni­ versity, assisted by administrative officials.

Also significant in helping legislators to understand the University is the annual Legis­ lators', Editors', and Broadcasters' Day. It is more than a chance to "show off" the Univer· sity; it is a way for the administration to say "thank you" for support given the University by the Legislature and people of the State.

Wives of legislators and other government officials are invited to spend a day on campus when the Legislature is in session.

"The 1967 Legislature once again reaffirmed its faith in higher edu­ cation and the University when it appropriated funds for the next bi­ ennium," according to Vice-President Laurence R. Lunden, Business Administration. "Of special significance," he said, "was the $22,739,346 appropriated for buildings, land, and remodeling projects. This was one of the largest appropriations for building purposes made in the Uni­ versity's history. These grants will make it possible to request Federal matching funds in excess of five million dollars.

"The overall improvement in pay and benefits for University Civil Service employees granted by the l 967 Legislature is the best we have ever received," according to Mr. Lunden. "The new Civil Service Salary Pla_n effective July l, the new health benefits and insurance program which had been made effective April l, and merit increase money for employees rendering outstanding service, all combine to make the Uni· versity Civil Service pay rates competitive again with those in industry and other governmental agencies in this area," he said. "They should again make it possible to recruit and to retain good people in the many types of Civil Service work that are so crucial to the effective function· ing of the University.

"Although many of our requests were not filled, we are grateful to the Legislature for its wisdom in taking steps to insure a return of the University of Minnesota to prominent position in the Big Ten. This was especially evident," he added "by its appropriation to increase faculty salaries. We are confident that we have made substantial gains in our salary ran kings with our largest competitors."

He joined the Ford Foundation in 1964 as Director of Policy and Planning and became Director of the Founda­ tion's Office of Government and Law last December. This new Office, which he set up, makes grants to institutions and organizations to help them carry out programs and studies involving many different levels of government and diverse activities. People, issues, decisions, events, appointments- all have helped to keep the first two months in office very busy for the new President. The following statements, which he made at his opening press conference or in pub-

President Moos confers with Regent Lester A. Malkerson at the first press conference. I The staggering feature of growth in the University is what is giving us the great problems, and we know that the problem of the future is really the impact of quantity upon quality. This has made the matter of the democratic process within the University difficult for both faculty and students.. In the case of the faculty it has become so large that the idea of direct participation of everybody- as if you had a New England town meeting where you were voting on the budget- has become very difficult to do. So what you have had to turn to is a kind of representa­ tive system of faculty bodies and representatives who will do this. But the building and the proliferation of this sys­ tem of representative bodies, I think, annoys the faculty in the sense that, simultaneously, they have to serve on more committees and take more time away fro'm teaching, advising students, and their research. This has been a problem; and inevitably the faculty members, I think, are going to have to take the initiative in strengthening their systems of representation if they are going to have the kind of voice that they ought to have in the intellectual leadership of the University.

The manner in which people work on the dense thicket of urban crises will be the key to tomorrow. The University can help only by cutting across from discipline to disci­ pline as well as within disciplines and from task force to task force . ... But even reforming the work habits of the University to focus on problem solving will be of little avail if the University fails in another area: the University must go to the community instead of insisting that the community come to it. We should make known its interests in the needs of the community and it should constantly reassess these needs, always searching for new ways to work with com­ munity institutions - schools, businesses, community groups, labor unions - and seeking new ways to respond to them. Generally this will probably mean providing something other than what universities are traditionally accustomed to providing. In education, storefront classrooms may be a way of getting to people in neglected parts of town that otherwise might not have had easy access to education. Elsewhere the University could make a major contribution to helping people get done, within the structure of the present system, the things they would like to do.

The true test of the maturity of students and their right to participate as full partners in the development of the University rests in their capacity to carry the value of the University into the community.

Too often today's students are indiscriminately identified in that ill-defined wraith called the public mind with the bizarre behavior or fractious conduct of tiny minorities. This is regrettable. Society has always had its bolters. Winston Churchill, a conspicuous bolter, once queried as to why he started his career as a Tory, then bolted to be­ come a Socialist, and finally went back to the Conservative party, came back with a prompt explanation: "To change," he said, "is to improve. To change twice is to be perfect."

My faith is a sort of belief as an activist in party poli­ tics. I have always believed in that. I have always believed that the best teachers in the social sciences have taken an active stand in the political life of the nation- whether it is John Kenneth Galbraith or Walter Heller. It seems to me this enriches the teaching. Students know where they stand, and this is better than if you try to be overly neutral in the classroom and convey the flabby idea you do not believe in anything.

November, 1967 The Moos Fe

6 ily Comes to EastcliR

Two days before Labor Day, Eastcliff, the stately old house at 176 North Mississippi River Boulevard, St. Paul, welcomed its new family: five children, two golden re­ trievers, and two parents- jvfalcolm Moos, new president of the University of Minnesota, and Tracy Moos, his wife. It was, in a sense, a homecoming for the President, who was born in St. Paul, graduated from the University High School, and earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the Uni­ versity. Mrs. Moos and the children were no strangers to Minnesota either; for the past several years, they have vacationed at their summer home on Ten Mile Lake near Hackensack, Minnesota. Nevertheless, the move was a big one for the Moos chil­ dren, and an even bigger one for Mrs. Moos, whose job it was to settle her sizable family into the more-than-sizable presidential home. "The first thing we did when we arrived," Mrs. Moos recalls, "was to walk across the street and discover the Mississippi River. Our home in Tarrytown, New York, overlooked a river, too, so it helped to make us feel at home." Although the Moos family has lived at Eastcliff only a short time, the house already reflects the characteristics and interests of its new inhabitants. An easy informality pervades; the family's books crowd the living room shelves, fav·orite paintings hang throughout the house, and an antique early American goose decoy graces the hearth. They made three notable additions to the home's furnish­ ings- a baby grand piano in the living room, a lovely early American secretary in the entrance hall, and a large dining table made of Cold Spring granite from the quarries near St. Cloud. "Mac loves rock and stone," Mrs. Moos explains. He had the large granite slab cut and polished, then had a stainless steel base custom-made to support the heavy weight of the granite. The family eats dinner at the table every night.

The easy-going, lively Moos family seems to have little trouble adjusting to the new environment. The three oldest children attend University High School. Maloolm, Jr., 15,

The Moos family poses for its portrait. Malcolm, Jr., President Moos, and Grant are in the back with Margie (left), Kathy, and Simmie seated around their mother. Upper left, the children romp with Topaz and Lord Boswell on the broad lawn behind Eastcliff. Lower left, President and Mrs. Moos find time to enjoy a quiet moment of relaxation amid a busy schedule.

7 Moos Family • • • (continued) is in the tenth grade; Kathryn, 13, in eighth; and Grant, 12, in seventh. The two youngest, Simmie (her real name is Ann), 9, and Margaret- or Margie- 7, attend Visita­ tion Convent School in Mendota Heights where they are studying under the Montessori system. "Malcolm -is the brain," his mother confides, "and Grant is the electronic wizard. He can repair anything." Kathy is the artistic member of the family; she plays the piano and draws unusually well. Simmie is proud that she has just learned to ride a bicycle, and Margie- a blond, blue-eyed charmer- has mastered jumping off the diving hoard. Her best talent. however, according to her family, is "go-go" dancing. Mrs. Moos' enthusiasm for historical objects and au­ thentic early American furnishings is apparent throughout the house. Right now, she is looking for a suitable place in the house to hang a large schoolroom-type map of the United States, printed in 1856. What does the family think of its new home? They're "delighted" with it- with one exception. Their two golden retrievers, Topaz and Lord Boswell, are no longer "indoor" members of the family. "Can you imagine what they'd do to this lovely white carpeting?" Mrs. Moos asks regretfully. Lower, the lively informality of the Moos youngsters posed against the graceful formality of the staircase at Eastcliff presents a study in contrasts. Upper, Kathy, the family pianist, accompanies her younger sisters as they sing favorites from "Sound of Music."

The appointment of Malcolm Moos as President of the University is great news- for the University, for the City and State and for the new President's many Minnesota friends. He is the right man for the right time, the right person for the right place. In the life of a great university there are periods of surge and thrust that require in the presidency a builder, a fashioner of bold new approaches. There are other periods of consolidation and catching up that require a leader who can moderate the forces of change and mediate the many contending claims upon the institution. In Mac Moos the University has both- the builder and the moderator­ and this is precisely what the times call for, a leader who can direct the explosive forces of growth and change and a moderator who can preserve the elements that give the University its strength, continuity and quality. Mac Moos' appointment is good news for the community because his experi­ ence is solidly based in contemporary affairs and in concern about the problems of a society in trouble and transition. As a distinguished political scientist and as a leading consultant and adviser to foundations and government he has been deeply involved in programs and activities that deal with real and immediate problems. Already in his few brief weeks in office we have seen the birth here of the concept of "communiversity," a term that describes the relationship between Commentary on President the University and its social and physical environment. This is a promising Moos by Mayor Arthur E. launching because certainly the future of the University and the community Naftalin, Minneapolis, who will be intertwined as the need for attention to urban problems grows and as was formerly an Associate the University inevitably becomes even more deeply involved in the life of the Professor in the Department city and the state. of Political Science at the Uni· My enthusiasm for Mac Moos as University President may be colored by our versity. Above, Mayor Naftalin long friendship, but I do not think so, because all who have known him appear makes an impromptu appear· to share the same high regard of his capability. In my case it is sharpened by a ance at the press conference series of parallel interests- in the study of the political process, in politics itself to greet his friend, President· (albeit of different parties), in foundation work and in higher education. elect Moos. To his many friends here and to his colleagues and associates over the coun­ try there is something natural and right about Mac Moos assuming the Presidency at Minnesota. To them it is more than the return of .a native to a place of high distinction; it is rather the recognition of a tradition and quality that are some­ how characteristic of the state and the University. In the years since his Minne­ sota days - while he never served on the faculty here- Mac has remained, within the fraternity of political scientists and top-level government advisers, one of the Minnesota crowd, a designation that we believe denotes a special type of academic exuberance and commi.tment, an irrepressible openness and vitality that bridges partisan, ethnic, social and ideological differences. Thus Mac's return is deeply reassuring to all who are concerned that the University maintain a level of excellence that banishes any hint of mediocrity. To all of what he brings to the Presidency by way of experience Mac Moos adds the personal qualities of wit and charm. They are certain to brighten many academic conferences and public gatherings in the future as Malcolm Moos goes about his tasks of serving the University. On behalf of the host city I bid him welcome and wish him many productive years as builder and moderator.

/ Few domestic subjects have been the object of more intense concern across the nation in recent years than the need for expanding facilities for training additional doctors, denti~ts, nurses, and the technicians to meet the demands of the exploding para-medical services. This concern is shared by the University and the State of Minnesota. Several years ago the Hill Family Foundation, at the request of the Board of Regents, established a study of Health Manpower needs in the upper Midwest. On the basis of this study and our own planning studies, the University presented a Health Science Development Program to the 1967 Legislature that called for increasing enrollment in health science programs from about 3000 students to 4800. Under this plan medical classes would be expanded from 160 to 200 and dental classes from llO to 150. With the Legislature's support as expressed in appropriations for land acquisition and general planning we are proceeding to develop preliminary architectural plans. Last month we reviewed our development program hefore two legislative committees studying the feasibility of establishing a second medical school in the state. We stressed the Regents' and administration's judgment that the interests of the state could be best served if priority is given to the fulfillment of our contemplated development program in order to: (1) meet the need for additional physicians as quickly as possible: (2) increase the number of practicing family physicians; and (3) maintain and improve the quality of performance of the University's programs in health sciences. We also expressed our belief that additional medical education facilities would be required. We took a position, since supported by formal action of the Board of Regents, that planning and implementing such programs and facilities could best be accomplished under the direction of the Regents. We now anticipate that we will be asked to appear before these legislative committees next year to explain in greater detail the kind of planning procedures we would employ and the kind of alternatives .likely to be discussed for the provision of additional facilities. One would be a second medical school under the Board but administered independently of the existing school. If our planning leads to a decision that a second medical school should be administered sepa­ rately from the present College of Medical Sciences, the Regents would be prepared to serve as a policy board for this new school. So doing we could assure coordination of the missions, standards, and programs of the two schools. Planning might also lead to a decision to restructure the entire design for medical education in the state by locating programs in the basic medical sciences at one or two sites, while establishing two, three, or four clinical colleges at distributed locations. Under such a plan a two-year program in the basic medical sciences could be concentrated, as it now is, on the Twin Cities campus of the University, or could be augmented by the development of a second such program at another location. Two-year clinical colleges could be placed at several locations with hospital settings. Each college could be prepared to emphasize a particular kind of clinical experience for prospective physicians. This hypothetical pattern of distribution is used to illustrate the nature of a "multi-centric" approach to expanding medical education facilities. Actual decision on the number, location, and missions of the distributed centers would need to follow thorough planning. Minnesota is known in the United States and throughout the world for the leadership it has shown in the Health Sciences. Given the uneasiness that exists regarding future patterns of health care and the programs for training health professionals, we have an unprecedented opportunity to provide further evidence of our leadership potential. ~611, ~

December, 1967 5 Interdisciplinary cooperation, particularly characteristic of the biochemical field, is prominent as Institute staff members frequently explore problems in zoology, microbiology, and botany and incorporate aspects outside the chemical field into their chemical research. Dr. Schlenk pointed out, "Although the soientist must be extremely specialized to do the analysis, he must then bring this specialized situation into other areas." There are no class bells, no commencements at the Hormel Institute. Educa· tiona! functions are not formally spelled out, but they are a definite part of its operations. There are no programs leading to advanced degrees, but a number of gradu­ ate students do thesis research here. The very individualized relationship existing between staff and students at the Institute presents great advantages. This arrangement is facilitated by the joint appointment Institute section leaders hold with departments in the Colleges of Biological and Medical Sciences and the Institute of Agriculture at the University. Staff members also give seminars from time to time on the Twin Cities Campus. Many postdoctoral research fellows and visiting scientists, often from foreign countries, come to acquaint themselves with specific techniques employed at the Institute or to utilize its facilities for experimental work which, for some reason, cannot be performed in their own laboratories. At the same time, they pool their information and resources with the permanent staff members at the Institute, promoting an active cooperative exchange of ideas. Dr. Schlenk acknowledged that people are sometimes apprehensive about coming to work at this research center, which appears to be swallowed up in the farmland of southeastern Minnesota. "But once they get here, they quickly lose any such prejudice." Pointing to the low turn-over rate in employees, Dr. Lundber~ commented. "Once people come to the Hormel Institute, they find it a good place to work and they stay here." Some of those working in the laboratories are outstanding science students from local high schools and Austin Junior College. Professor Holman observed that these students get an invaluable opportunity to learn research technique~ and get first-hand knowledge of the life of a scientist. At the same time, they alleviate the shortage of qualified laboratory technicians. Most of them work only in the summer, but some continue on a part-time basis during the school year as well. These experiences whet and develop their scientific appetites; as a result, a number have chosen science-related careers. These young scientists are part of the Ronnel Institute's hope for the future. Also part of this hope are plans for expanded research. Dr. Lundberg said, "We hope to broaden the area of research in lipids, especially working with the lipids of various tissues. We also anticipate more interest in cellular and molecular biology, particularly concerned with how lipids function in cells and cell membranes." And with the foresight so characteristic of this research center, the Institute is already implementing plans to provide new facilities for microbiology re­ search conducted by Professor Howard M. Jenkin. With twenty-five years of experience- and success- behind it. the Institute optimistically looks forward to more of the same.

Friends Endow FredericJ

A $500,000 endowed chair, the Frederick R. Kappel Professorship in Busi­ ness and Government Relations, has been given to the University by the Uni­ versity of Minnesota Foundation. Mr. Kappel, a native Minnesotan who was one of the founding trustees of the Foundation, recently retired as Chairman of the Board of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the world's largest corporation. A 1924 graduate of the University, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Engineering Degree from his alma mater in 1966. More than one hundred donors- friends and admirers of Kappel, corpora­ tions and foundations interested in further study in the area of business-govern­ ment relations- contributed funds to help endow the chair and further con­ tributions are still being received. Head of the 13-member fund-raising com­ mittee is Mr. Sidney J. Weinberg of Goldman, Sachs and Company of New York.

An understanding of the Professor Lyndell Scott said, "We can make do with limited personnel if we have good programs. Behind all our programs and methods is the concern that people have the opportunity to grow up with the capacity to satisfy social functioning." She continued, "We need to make better use of auxil­ iary personnel, case aides, limited training to limited technical personnel, to begin to develop various levels of personnel, to rethink education and the use of volunteers effectively under the supervision of trained people." Vigorous recruitment to alleviate the shortage of social workers has had encouraging results. The number of stu­ dents from Minnesota entering social work schools is higher on a percentage basis than that of any other state. Mr. Kidneigh credits part of this interest to the efforts of University faculty members in the guidance and test­ ing of high school students. Many high school seniors with high social work scores on the Strong Interest In­ ventory Test begin to consider a career in this field for the first time. However, Mr. Kidneigh said that it is unlikely that professional educational resources will fill all the posi­ tions. For one thing, "Foundation support doesn't tend to support the type of ongoing projects necessary in the social work profession." He praised the government for "doing more than its major knowledge areas. Students of social public policy

f~ I January, 1968 3 interaction of these helps to find problems and solutions to the problems." Like any other profession, social work has a number of different methods which aim to deal with problems ranging from the individual to the international level. "Casework individualizes problems in social function· ing, whether they arise from the social situation or are the impact of stresses and strains," said Professor Scott. "With the increasing dependence on the mass society, it has become very important to emphasize the individual in helping people. "Casework is both remedial and preventive- it helps to change conditions and helps individuals to overcome the handicaps they've known. It helps by establishing a relationship with the person, enabling him to maximize his own powers. It brings him to begin to furnish re­ sources and understanding he didn't have or know about so that he can move in and function effectively. "However," she said, "it is important that they not only recover from things in the past, but that they do things in the future. If we can help people cope with stress without breaking down, we can prevent serious dis­ orders later on." She observed that there is currently a new emphasis on aggressive casework, a special version of "don't call us, we'll call you." Rather than expecting the disadvantaged to come to the agency offices, workers go out into the heart of problem districts to find the people who need help. Response to these offers of assistance has been very encouraging. Through the methods of community organization, so­ cial work concerns itself with social structures, organiza­ tion, and planning processes related to general welfare. Professor Chester L. Bower observed, "The tremendous increase of social problems, coupled with inadequate remedial programs, has resulted in the consequent need to prevent a major buildup of these difficulties. Decisions can't always he made in the local community. It's impor­ tant to recognize what societal elements will help to solve the problems that can't be solved on an individual basis. "We are training people for social planning situations -asking 'what kind of social conditions affect people's lives to make these things happen.' We're also training people for the many new federal community action pro­ grams which deal with how to organize neighborhood people to improve their own traditions." He continued, "Social planning is becoming much more acceptable than it used to be. Fears of planning ABOVE, Professor Gisela Konopka leads a lively dis­ grew out of endangering free choice.

This is a book of honor, of memory, and of recognition by family and rela­ tives, colleagues, and friends- a tribute of respect, affection, and gratitude. Those whose names are inscribed in this book will live forever in the cher­ ished memory of the University of Minnesota and its ongoing life. Generations of teachers and students engaged in the endless quest for knowledge and understanding will be helped and encouraged by the char­ acter and example of those remembered here. From the Book of Honor of the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund Inscribed in this Book of Honor are the names of some very special people. They are former University staff members or their spouses who have been memorialized through contributions to the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund. Each year, more people are added to the pages of this handsome, leather­ bound volume. In addition to their names, the Book of Honor gives their birth and death dates and brief descriptions of their association with the University. Administering the Fund, which was initiated in 1955 by the Faculty Wo­ men's Club, is the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund Committee. This Committee has representatives from the Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and Morris campuses and from the four organizations of faculty women. These members are appointed by the President of the Cniversity to serve two-year terms. r The representative from the University Faculty Women's Club always serves as Chairman of the Memorial Fund Committee during the second year of her term as member. Mrs. J. Lewis Maynard currently holds this position. { Other representatives from faculty women's clubs are Mrs. Lucy lmholte, Morris; Mrs. Wendell P. Glick, Duluth; and Mrs. William H. Marshall, St. Paul. liniversity staff members serving on the Committee are Dean Thomas W. Chamberlain, Duluth; Dean Stephen Granger, Morris; Professor William P. Martin, St. Paul; Professor Roy A.

N unn, Director of University Relations, is an ex-officio member of the Committee. The donor may designate the gifts for a particular cause, and the wishes of the donor are always followed. Gifts might be directed toward finding a cure for the disease which caused the death of the person whose memory is being honored, or they might reflect special interests of the deceased by aiding a scholarship or research fund in the field of his vocation. If memorial gifts are undesignated, the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund Committee itself carefully considers where the gifts best can be used. In most cases, the undesignated funds go to support University of Minnesota Me­ morial Fund Scholarships. Sons and daughters of deceased staff members have first priority on these scholarships; however, any student who is academically qualified may apply. When undesignated gifts in memory of a person exceed $300, the Com­ t mittee consults with the next-of-kin in determining how the money is to be used. In addition to the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund, there is an­ other fund- the General Memorial Fund- at the University for contributions in memory of persons not diectly associated with the University. Gifts to the f General Memorial Fund also may be directed to any University cause. A donor to either fund receives a letter of thanks from the University, a memorial card, stamped and addressed to the next-of-kin, which the donor may mail if he wishes, and a receipt which denotes a tax-deductible gift. f Both the University of Minnesota Memorial Fund and the General Memorial Fund are projects of the Special Projects Program, Department of University { Relations. Anyone wishing to memorialize someone through either fund should direct contributions to the Special Projects Program, including the name of the t deceased, the name and address of the next-of-kin, and his own name and t1 address. l January, 1968 9 i!

I 1 At this time of year, shovelsful of snow tossed out of walks and drive­ t ways carry with them longing thoughts of summer days. Summer days have special signifi­ cance for some University staff mem­ bers. That is when they battle mos­ quitoes, light around-the-clock, and transportation irregularities in order to study plants, animals, rocks, and glaciers in the cold places of the world. Among this group is Dr. Walter J. Breckenridge, Director of the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History. His last trip to the Arctic was to develop a movie on the mi­ gration of birds, "Migration Mys­ l teries," which will be shown on March 31 as part of the Museum's I regular Sunday program series. "Bird migration is a world-wide phenomenon," said Dr. Brecken­ f ridge. "Birds here in Minnesota sometimes travel to the high Arctic, sometimes to South America. I "Bering Strait is a particularly interesting strategic point because " there is an exchange of bird life I between North America and Eurasia. "It's interesting to note how plants and animals adapt to polar regions," he continued. "The grad­ ual change of climate following gla­ cial recession may lead eventually to circumpolar species of birds." Associate Professor Dwain W. Warner, Curator .of Birds in the Bell Museum, has given a new twist to bird-tracking. Radios carried by Research Associate Thor Larson carries a cub to the ship for study. geese, for example, emit signals which can be picked up two hundred miles away. These signals give valu­ able information about the popula­ tion of breeding grounds. Dr. Warner hopes that approval will soon be given to mount appara­ tus on satellites which would bounce signals emitted from the birds to stations on earth. This would allow The Cold Story more accurate location of the birds. J Associate Professor Albert W.

February, 1968 5 \ Ceqar Creek Spy System Tracks Ar A gmceful deer bounds through a patch of clearing, capering freely and undisturbed 'in his natural home. Yet, not far away, his movements are carefully marked -not by a hunter or hungry animal, but by radio re· ceivers recording messages transmitted from electronic apparatus in a tiny collar on his neck. Radio telemetry is part of what's happening at the Cedar Creek Natural History Area, a tract of almost 5,000 acres in northern Anoka and southern Isanti counties, only a thirty-mile drive from the University and other colleges in the Twin Cities. This area is dedicated to the preservation of a unique series of habitats for scientific discovery, to the educa­ tion of students in the field of natural history, and to fundamental research. Its rare combination of types of vegetation and animal life, its wildness, and its accessi· bility give it unique value as a large and undisturbed outdoor laboratory in natural history. Here at Cedar Creek are found three great formations of plant life­ northern coniferous bogs and forest, deciduous forest, and prairie. The program developed for the use of Cedar Creek aims to encourage research leading to better understand­ ing of basic laws of natural history and to increase com· petence of natural scientists by enlarging their apprecia­ tion of the living, organic world. Careful planning and control of access insures that the environment is main· tained in unspoiled condition. "We had all thought of unpolluted habitats in terms of normal types of pollutants," said Professor William H. Marshall, Director of the Field Biology Program. This idea had to be expanded when Associate Profes­ sor Frank McKinney of the Museum of Natural History asked to use Cedar Creek facilities. The noise pollution of trucks on University Avenue disturbed his studies of waterfowl breeding behavior. Dr. Marshall continued, "Consider Professor Webber ABOVE, Associate Professor Dwain [Department of Physics] and Dr. Arnoldy [Hroneywell], LOW, Engineer Larry Kuechle test! who are working with magnetic phenomena. The elec­ hole. RIGHT, Laboratory Techniciar tronic pollution of neon lights on Cedar Avenue would do strange things to their determinations. "These are two aspects of pollution that Cooper and Wilcox (two men important in Cedar Creek history] never dreamed of," Dr. Marshall observed. In 1957, Sputnik dogs flashing radio messages back to earth gave Associate Professor Dwain W. Warner in the Museum of Natural History an idea. He called Dean Spilhaus of the Institute of Technology to help him de­ vise instruments that would measure the behavior of animals in their natural environment. With Professor Otto H. Schmitt of the Department of Zoology and Physiology and Professor Homer T. Mantis of the Department of Physics, they developed plans to adapt space-age electronics equipment to studies of ani· mals in the wild. However, getting the equipment was not a one-shot operation. Constant advances in instrumentation neces­ sitated the services of specialists like Engineer Larry B. Kuechle of the Museum's Bioelectronics Laboratory. Not only did these people lend their scientific knowledge, but they also freed the biologists for work in their own field. Radio telemetry is used successfully to study the be- havior of many animals. Animals must weigh enough to carry the transmitters-but the larger the animal, the more batteries and antennae he can carry, the longer this equipment lasts, and the greater the distance over which he can be tracked. The system continually surveys what the animals are doing. "There's no other system like this in the world, with animals observed in natural conditions around-the­ clock," sa·id Associate Professor John R. Tester of the Department of Ecology and Behavioral Biology. All data from the radio-tracking system is eventually transferred to computer cards by keypunch operators at the University Computer Center in Arden Hills. The com­ puter then draws maps and furnishes endless statistics from the information fed into it. Dr. Tester said that an effort is made to get long-term information on the animals they work with, so that each can contribute to many research studies. The massive amount of data compiled makes decisions on what kinds of biological problems to study very criti­ er studies a deer tracked by radio at Cedar Creek. BE­ cal.

However, responsibility for all the programming rests with Assistant Professor Donald B. Siniff. Radio telemetry isn't the only thing going on at Cedar Creek. Other University staff members involved in re­ search activities not previously mentioned include Pro­ fessor Merle P. Meyer of the School of Forestry, Profes­ sor Donald B. Lawrence of the Department of Botany, and Research Assistant Roberta K. Lammers of the De­ partment of Botany. The dreams and hard work of a lot of people from both the University and the Minnesota Academy of Sci­ .s 0 ence have been the foundation upon which current Cedar f Creek activity rests. Among early staunch supporters of the project at the University were the late A. N. Wilcox and T. H. Fenske, Professor Emeritus W. S. Cooper, and Dean Emeritus Theodore C. Blegen. Vice-President Stan­ ley J. Wenberg, Educational Relationships and Develop· ment, has always been a major contributor of time, thought, and effort. It wasn't easy to raise the necessary money for Cedar Creek. Not that people don't like to preserve a natural 7 Cedar Creek ...

of the Department of Environmental Health seek ways to keep devices sent to other planets free from earth viruses and bacteria which might reproduce at a rampant rate without control by their natural enemies. There will be no department of space sciences or spe· cial graduate programs in space sciences established. "The work of the Center cuts across department and college lines, permitting greater flexibility than would be possible otherwise," Dean Cheston observed. The up-to-date facilities will benefit greatly many experimental programs currently hampered by over­ crowded laboratory conditions. Dr. Cheston, who was Director of the Center until named to the deanship, has had major responsibility for planning the use of the facilities. Working with him to develop plans were Professor Robert J. Collins, who heads the Department of Electrical Engineering, and f Professor Richard A. Swalin, who heads the Department of Mines and Metallurgy. Each research group to occupy space in the new building had the opportunity to suggest what might be done to meet its special needs. Each laboratory has a special built-in safety factor, an escape panel for the scientist who accidentally gets trapped by a mistake in procedure. Dean Cheston commented on the excellent ventilation and air-conditioning system in the Center. "You could put in large amounts of heat-generating equipment and still be comfortable," he said. Obsolete methods of "flushing excess heat down the drain," which waste and pollute valuable water resources, are not found in the Center. Instead, a recirculating sys­ tem filters and deionizes water so it can be used over and over again. Plans are currently under review for an outdoor study area between the Architecture Building and Space Science Center. These plans, developed by Roger P. Martin and As­ sociates, include a courtyard with several sitting areas which could be used for outdoor classes and student study. It probably would contain a central water feature and would be separated by a screen wall from the Cen­ ter's truck and service area, according to Dr. Martin, who is an Associate Professor in the School of Archi­ tecture. However, though funds have been allocated generally for landscaping the area around the Space Science Center and the Architecture Building, funds have not yet been allocated specifically for the courtyard project. 1 l j ' Dean Warren B.

THE MINNESOTAN Second Class Postage Paid Department of University Relations at Minneapolis, Minnesota 220 Morrill Hall University of Minnesota Minn.,apolis, Minnesota 55455 RETURN REQUESTED

On the ll7th birthday of the University of Minnesota we can look backward with satisfaction, but more importantly we can look forward with optimism. The University's past is filled with the drama of great advancements as its grad· uates have ascended the upper slopes. Who among us did not experience a glow of excitement recently as two classmates, Drs. Shumway and Barnard, both students of Minnesota's Regents' Professor Dr. Owen Wangensteen, consulted each other about heart transplants by transatlantic telephone. And who could call the century's roster of Minnesotans who have led in the sociaL ·~ultural and scientific advances of our nation and fail to understand that America's history is also the history of this University. Pride in our past is no basis for contented conjecture about the future. Contentment does not hide the unrest of our campuses, our cities, and our whole society. A university, which must stand for both serenity and change and be able to weather any storm squalls, often finds itself at the center of strife. Some­ times as I have listened to people argue about university life today, I have believed that it would be easier to reason with a porcupine. Universities are under attack for being too other-worldly, too remote, and too theoretical; they are simultaneously accused of devoting all of their energy to serving society as it now exists. They are under the lash because too many staff members are thought to be members of the Establishment; or contrariwise for a "derring-do" in criticizing society in ways that unhinge tempers and timid minds. In such a riptide of unsettlement, check points on the compass are diffi­ cult to find, but find them we must. We must hold in mind that in university ·or urban conflict, disputatious dissidents can escalate debate into disorder; disorder into ruinous riots. The statecr~ft we apply in such a setting must meet these new tests; it must have flexibility to ride out the storm; be firm but never brittle. We can find assurance that such statecraft is possible from the healthy, widespread understanding .in all parts of the university community that our campus must nourish discussion, conflict of ideas, and criticism as a way of life leading us into the future with hope. It must equally resist the violent disarray which stifles application of reason to the problems of mankind. We must remember that hallucination is no substitute for education. And we need to say so as we go along our way. As we struggle for the middle and long-range solutions to our social problems, we seek a new perception of both our society and the university. Neither should be formed totally to control and store people in antiseptic concrete bins. Both should provide a living environ­ ment suitable for human purposes; an envimnment that allows people to experi­ ment even if their preferences lead to some reasonable measure of disorder. We must commit ourselves to change, knowing that remaking society .is not an easy task, but mindful also that there is no longer time to malinger. The commitment of a great university is always to the future; to knowledge that needs birth, and to people who can bring wisdom into the affairs of men. This has been the century old commitment of the University of Minnesota, and it remains the commitment that gives all of us hope for tomorrow.

March, 1968 Morris Welcomes President Moos

To staff members and students at the University of Minnesota, Morris, University President Malcolm Moos is now more than a name and face in the news. Over one hundred staff members met President and Mrs. Moos as they made their first official visit to the Morris Campus early in February. There were no official meetings or lectures. Rather. the President toured campus faeilities, meeting and talking with staff members and students in classrooms, in de­ partmental offices, and at coffee hours. Ylorris civie leaders also had an opportunity to meet President and Mrs. Moos-both at coffee hours and at a dinner hosted by UMM Dean Rodney A. Briggs.

8 It's official-the new three-classroom structure on Twin Cities Campus, St. Paul, now bears the name of Palmer Classroom Building. The Palmer Classroom Building includes an audi­ torium, which seats 22-l students, and two general-pur­ pose classrooms, each with a seating capacity of 50 students. The smaller classrooms are used for televised classes in such fields as psychology, biology, accounting, geography, sociology, and education. The auditorium is used for lectures in general chemistry and agricultural economics, courses which require a larger lecture room. At ceremonies in late January, University President Malcolm Moos named and dedicated the building in honor of the late Professor Leroy Sheldon Palmer, who served the University for almost twenty-five years as Associate Professor, Professor, and Chief of the Division of Agricultural Biochemistry. Professor Palmer came to the University in 1919 with teaching and research responsibilities in dairy chemistry. He later extended his interests to include several areas of animal nutrition. In 1939, he was se­ lected as the first recipient of the Borden Award for outstanding research in the chemistry of milk. Among those attending the dedication and the lunch­ eon preceding it were Mrs. Leroy Sheldon Palmer; the Palmer children and .their spouses: Mr. and Mrs. James Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew N. Justus, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Palmer, Jr.; and three Palmer grandchildren. Also present were several of Professor Palmer's col­ leagues, including Deans Emeritus Clyde H. Bailey and Harold Macy of the Institute of Agriculture and Pro­ fessors Emeritus Herbert K. Hayes (Agronomy and Plant Genetics), Howard C. H. Kernkamp (Veterinary Pathology and Parasitology), Walter Lauer (Organic Chemistry) , Alfred L. Harvey (Animal Husbandry) , President Malcolm Moos and Mrs. Leroy Sheldon Palmer view Clayton 0.

Linck, Assistant Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, observed that research is becoming more concentrated on such social science problems as resource development, human resources, and rural sociology. Another trend is putting more stress on fundamental research. "While in the past we were more concerned with 'here and now' problems," he said, "we are em· phasizing methodology and basic research much more now." He also noted a shift away from parochialism to interdisciplinary research efforts at the Agricultural Experiment Station. "The major research effort occurs at the St. Paul Campus of the University, and our headquarters is also there," said Professor Hueg. "But the Minnesota Ex· periment Station also has a group of outlying stations where specific regional and state problems can be studied." Problems of crops and farm animals receive special attention at the Rosemount Station headed by Super· in ten dent Clifford L. Wilcox, the Waseca Station headed by Superintendent Edward C. Frederick, the Morris Station headed by Superintendent Ralph E. Smith, the Crookston Station headed by Superintendent Bernard E. Youngquist, and the Grand Rapids Station headed by Superintendent William Matalamaki. Research at Lamberton, under the direction of Super­ intendent Wallace W. Nelson, emphasizes crops and soils. The problems of forests and wildlife are studied at the Cloquet Forestry Research Center under the guid­ ance of Superintendent Bruce A. Brown. An extensive forestry program also is conducted at the Grand Rapids Station. Horticulture research at the Agricultural Experiment Station is under the direction of Professor Leon C. Snyder, Head of the Department of Horticultural Science. At the University Horticulture Research Center-Excel­ sior, staff members develop new fruits suitable for growing in Minnesota and also assist in planning man­ agement practices for the small but growing Minnesota fruit industry.
