On the Executive Committee agenda is a discussion on developing a U mission state­ ment. The idea was suggested to the board in a letter from the faculty chairmen of four U Senate committees. Other agenda items include reports by VP Cashman on the alcohol policy and child care proposal, survey results and recommendations regarding civil service representation in governance, and a discussion on whether the U should hire architectural firms whose members include faculty from the U's School of Architecture. VP Kegler will present the 1974-75 budget plan and guidelines for the 1975 legislative request. Certificates of appreciation will be awarded by the Regents at their Friday meeting to students who have served as representatives on Regents' committees. Next Senate meeting is Jan. 17 at 3:15 in Nicholson Hall Auditorium. On the agenda for action: approval of 1974-75 U calendar, constitutional amendment on how alternate Senate representatives are selected, proposal to cut the size of the Senate in half. Two reports will also be presented to the Senate: one by the Consultative Committee on progress toward selecting a U president, and one by the U Appeals Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility on policies, practices, and recommended changes relating to •1 appeals procedures. I 1 UMD has voted for an earlier start fall quarter 1975. One reason for the change: students 1 wanted to finish spring classes earlier to compete better for summer jobs with students 1 who attend nearby U of Wisconsin, Superior. UWS students usually finish by May 20. TC campus members of U Schedule Committee will survey TC students, faculty, and staff to determine calendar preferences. UMC already has an early start schedule and began classes Sept. 10 this year, two weeks ahead of rest of U.

In addition to reports sent to Insurance and Retirement, a copy of the employee's "First Report of Injury" must be sent directly to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety, University Health Service (TC campus), within 48 hours of the time the injury was reported.

The report answers questions raised by legislators last session. Other report items: the impact of the 1973 appropriation on the 1974-75 budget and reports on Crookston and Waseca campuses and their missions. Regents and administrators are beginning work now on the 1975 legislative request to develop long-term goals and determine what steps will have to be taken in 1975 to meet them. The process "reflects a belief that a realistic, phased, well-described series of decision packages will be evaluated responsibly by appropriate review bodies and the Legislature," VP Kegler said. Budget cutting plan for 1974-75 was shown to Regents, who will review and act on total funding proposal during next two months. Budget base will be reduced by $1.4 million, including $686,388 from academic units and $749,812 from administrative and service units. !Funds for salary and price level increases will be added. l lu's reserve fund, usually kept to pay for emergency and unforeseen situations throughout lthe year, has been budgeted in advance for 1974-75 to aid some programs temporarily. VP 'Kegler said this means the U will be less flexible during the year and more dependent on a good 1975 legislative appropriation. The Minnesota Legislature opened its 1974 session yesterday (Jan. 15). The Regents' Student Concerns Committee heard progress reports on a proposed day-care center (TC campus) and a comprehensive U alcohol policy. The Child-Care Task Force pro­ posed a facility for children of students, faculty, and staff at a cost to U of $65,000- $78,800 a year. The recommendation was countered by an administrative proposal to fund a pilot facility for the children of students at a cost to U of about $5,000. VP Cashman reported several changes have been made in the alcohol policy passed by U Senate, requiring further consultation with the outstate campuses. A committee will be appointed to study the question of sale of alcohol on campus. Cashman suggested a target date of spring quarter for putting any comprehensive policy into effect. The Regents went on record against a proposed consolidation of the Board of Regents, State College Board, State Community College Board, State Board of Education, and HECC. State Advisory Council on Vocational Education proposed that the educational boards be replaced by a single 17-member board.

  • Michel Tremblay Writer
    MICHEL TREMBLAY WRITER BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Michel Tremblay emerged as a dominant figure of Quebec’s theatre world in the late 1960s. Since then, his considerable impact on French Canada’s thriving culture has broadened to include successful novels, translations, adaptations and screenplays. Born into an East Montreal working class neighbourhood, it soon became clear that Michel was also born to write. As a schoolboy, he was already composing poems, plays, and novels. The adolescent Michel wrote a series of fantasy stories that he later brought together in a collection entitled Contes pour buveurs attardés (Stories for Late Night Drinkers). At the age of 18, he enrolled at the Institut des Arts graphiques from which he qualified as a linotypist, a career that he pursued from 1963 to 1966. In 1964, Michel submitted a play, Le train, to a competition for young writers, Jeunes auteurs de Radio-Canada. He walked away with the First Prize. In that same year, he met André Brassard who would direct all Michel’s plays for the next 39 years. In 1965, André Brassard used some of the Contes pour buveurs attardés in a show, Messe noire, which drew on the fantasy genre for inspiration. It was also in 1965 that Michel wrote Les belles-sœurs. After a public reading of Les belles-sœurs, on March 4, 1968, at a venue for young playwrights, the Centre d’essai des auteurs dramatiques, Michel’s play was produced at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert on August 28, 1968. It was an instant and stunning success: so much so that there has been more than 600 productions both in Quebec since, and abroad.

  • Michel Tremblay Writer
    MICHEL TREMBLAY WRITER BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES The monumental work of Michel Tremblay—playwright, novelist, screenwriter, lyricist, translator—has its roots in Montreal’s Plateau Royal, but its reach has been truly international. In 1968, Michel Tremblay was 26 years old and still living with his parents. A nightshift linotype operator in a print shop and then a TV costume warehouseman, he had only one dream: to see one of his plays performed. His first work, Le train, won first prize in the 1964 CBC Young Writers’ competition, but was not staged. The following year, he wrote another play, Les Belles-Sœurs. Presented at a public reading in March 1968, this dramatic comedy based on a “stamp-pasting party” was chosen to open the 1968-1969 season of the Théâtre du Rideau-Vert, an institutional playhouse. And it sent shock waves through the theatre world. On stage: a kitchen and 15 women, directed by a very young André Brassard, an essential accomplice of the budding playwright in this mad adventure, and in many others to come. These women from a working-class neighbourhood take turns emptying their hearts and wringing their hands in joual, the popular spoken language that is spurned by conventional society. These women, whose voices have rarely been heard, are well-known to Michel Tremblay. He has long observed them, and has nothing but affection for them. They represent his mother, his aunts, his neighbours, who knew him as an infant and watched him grow up. They are his muses. In reaction to these “sisters-in-law,” some spectators spoke of genius, while others cried scandal and walked out before the play ended.
