Child sexual abuse is tonic 01 seminar

A presentation on child sexual abuse by Bennie Stovall. an expert on the subject and a lecturer in EM U's Social Work Program, will highlight Eastern's second faculty seminar scheduled Wednesday, March 25 at 4 p.m. in the Burson Room of Roosevelt Hall. Stovall, who will represent the College of Human Services in the new seminar series, will deliver a lecture titled "A Presentation of Child Sexual Abuse: Awareness and Resources." In her talk, Stovall will attempt to show how current research confirms child abuse and neglect as symptoms of dysfunctional families. Specifically, she will adress the following questions: What is child abuse and neglect? -What is sexual abuse of children? -Why should the University be involved? -What are the responsibilities of professional educators? Stovall, a member of the EMU faculty since 1977, explained that she first became interested in child abuse while working in an institution. "My first work experience was in a hospital setting working with children and adolescents. While working in the facility, I found it striking that someone would have to become involved with the children's families if they wanted to help. "I have a sense of commitment to children. While I am just as concernecl ll� the next person about all the atrocities and abuses that happen to children, just to be angry is not enough. I am trying to communicate some of their problems so that other people will become involved too." Stovall said. Stovall. who earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Wayne State University, is a national consultant to the National Center of Child Abuse and Neglect. Also, she is a member of the planning committee of the Child Welfare League of America, an expert witness for child abuse trials in the U.S. and Canada and served on the Governor's Conference on the Prevention of Child Abuse. Stovall. who C'1trrentlv serves·

Bennie Stovall as a caseworker, supervisor and training coordinator for the Children's Aid Society in Detroit, also worked as a groupworker at the Delta Home for Girls and as an attendant at Northville State Hospital. She has served on numerous professional committees and advisory boards and has been a guest speaker on radio and television programs focusing on child sexual abuse. Dr. Suzanne M. Fleming, assistant vice president for academic affairs at EMU, emphasized that Stovall's talk is part of a continuing series of seminars planned at EMU. "We hope to schedule four a year-two in the fall and two in the winter-and feature faculty members from each of the colleges on campus," Fleming said. Fleming said the purpose of the seminars is for the overall enrichment and intellectual stimulation of faculty and staff on campus in an informal setting. "We're inviting all of our emeritus faculty in the Ypsilanti­Ann Arbor area and trying to bring people out of the woodwork on campus. We're trying to pick general topics that will be interesting to everyone on campus," Fleming said. The EMU Faculty Seminar is free and open to everyne. Refreshments will be served.

March 17, 1981 In a whirlwind 01 tightening college budgets, oast cost-cutting exoerience bolsters EMU'S outlook Editor's Note: This is the first part of a two-part story, whjch will continue in the March 24 issue of Focus EMU. Officials at the University of Michigan arc talking about eliminating the Geography Depa1 lment and cutting funds for the Botannical Gardens and WUOM, the public radio station. At Michigan State. consideration is begin given to closing the planetarium, dissolving the biophysics department and the School of Nursing, eliminating graduate programs in elementary education and cutting back in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Wayne State University plans to not renew the contracts of 166 non-tenured faculty members next year and some 2,000 clerical, administrative and maintenance employees may be laid off for one week during semester break. EMU has been strangely silent amidst the- public furor over budget cuts to higher education. EMU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Anthony H. Evans says this silence is due to Eastern's "experience" at cutting budgets during the last five years. "This is experience that other institutions do not have," Evans says. "It was forced 011 us by the size of our College of Education activities and the change in demand in that area. "We are down about 30 percent in our faculty allocation from where we were five or six years ago. Other universities are facing today what we faced then." Another reason for Eastern's relative calm approach to the

financial crisis, Evans says, is the stabilization of enrollment during the last two years. "Last year was the first year student credit hour production increased in the entire decade. We are encouraged. Unless the enrollment situation worsens, 1 don't foresee further cuts, although there is always the possibility of consolidating departments to achieve savings. "I don't see us as on the verge of making decisions on the future of programs. I don't think the budget situation at this stage warrants that. It does require an intensive assessment of all of our programs," Evans explained. He said the Division of Academic Affairs would be taking two steps to achieve that assessment. First, it will develop a new policy to establish a process or procedure for evaluating programs, including criteria. a time frame and groups to be impacted. Evans said he hopes that policy would be implemented during the next six to 12 months. "Obviously, not all of our programs can be reviewed in that time period," he noted. "But we plan to put ourselves on a cycle to review six to eight under­graduate programs and five graduate programs each year." The second step the division will take, at President John W. Porter's request, will be to examine all the activities of the division. "This will require a great deal of participation by faculty, staff and students," he said. "We want to involve these groups in establishing policies and procedures. We expect to have a refinement of the process and procedures in about 45 days and

we will do an initial cntica! evaluation by the time we submit our budget, in about two months. "Some small selective activities may be reduced or eliminated after the various reviews are completed," Evans continued, "but I don't see any major impact to the integrity of our academic program as a whole. There are not great savings to be achieved by eliminating programs because we have gone through the retrenchment process for the last four or five years." Evans said he felt the two reviews being undertaken by his division would enable him to "get a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our program. "We looked at ourselves very critically for the North Central Association visit so we have a very complete record of ourselves. We will start there looking at our own comments about our strengths and weaknesses. Evans said that the University would be looking very carefully at the productivity of faculty and staff in his division. "We have one of the highest teaching loads in the state, 12 hours," he noted, "but we will have to look at the released time now given to coordinate programs. "I do anticipate our lifestyle will change dramatically over what it has been. We will no longer be able to afford many of the things we have had in the past, such as some types of administrative support for academic programs, the amount of time now devoted to student advising, and the funding for services, supplies and matrials to departments and offices." 11 the semester is .catching uo with uou, tru some 'Mad-Jazz'

A riddle: What do you get when you combine the Madrigal Singers and Jazz Ensemble in one concert? Answer: "Mad-Jazz." of course. And that's exactly what the audience will be treated to when the two ensembles perform a joint concert Tuesday, March I 7 at 8 p.m. in Pease Auditorium. The Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Emily Lowe, and the Jazz Ensemble, directed by J. R. Smith, will perform several selections together. Some of these include the "Fugue in C­Minor" by Bach in an arrangement originally written for the Swingle Singers and '"Round Midnight" by Thelonious Monk. The two groups also will perform a medley of American patriotic songs arranged for male singer, chorus, and jazz band by Dennis Winnie, a member of the Jazz Ensemble. In addition, Madrigal director Emily Lowe will sing a solo version of "Deep Purple" by Peter De Rose, an old standard from the 1940s, with the Jazz Ensemble. For their individual portion of the concert. the Madrigal Singers

Emily Lowe will perform �<.:\cral �..:lc..:t1,1n:.. from the standard madrigal repertoire, including songs from 16th century England and Europe and from the 20th century United States. The Jazz Ensemble also will perform several numbers, including "Shabadop" by bester Hooper, a newer blues-rock tune. "Shabadop" will be conducted by !'viax Morden. a member of the

J. R. Smith Jazz Ensemble. Other numbers to be performed by the Jazz Ensemble include "Malaga" by Bill Holman and "Country Road," which was arranged by Kenny Wheeler for the Maynard Ferguson band. Admission to the March 17 "Mad-Jazz" concert is free and the public is invited to attend.

Special session: budget priorities and problems.

Viet' President Collins reported that Pre,1den1 Porter is concerned with linking well-defined institutional and di, isional goals with budget requests. By March 1 1 all departments are expected to have comp eted their departmental budget packet and to have forwarded it to their respective deans. He encouraged faculty to acll\cly part1c1pa1e in comple11ng a full) documented. realistic oudget request packet. By �arch 25 the deans are to ha\c comp.etcd their college lc\el budget pad�ts. From March 25 to April 10 Collir.s. Ch1rio and Provost E\ans will re\lew the packets received from the deans. From April 10 to May 4 d1Visional dec1s1on-makmg will be taking place and they will be working directly with the deans. May 4 is the deadl.ne for the completed divisional budget. He stated that he has put the whole budget process together in what he terms a budget request packet, eliminating intermediate deadlines. Also, he has tried to be totally honest about the whole process. Planning for 1981-82 is being based on the current budget after reductions. The institutional budget for 1980-81 began with $53.5 million. After three reductions, the current budget is now $50.9 million. The budget for the Division of Academic Affairs began in 1980-8 1 with $33.2 million. After the reductions, the current budget is $32. 1 million. There will be no inflationary consideration made in the 1981-82 budget. He further reported that 48.04 percent of the total institutional budget is allocated for instruction. He believes that as the total budget decreases. the percentage allocated for instruction should get larger if the primary goal of the institution is to provide quality instruction. The top two goals of EM L as stated by President Porter are to provide quality academic programs and to intensify the admission effort. Following discussion on how the faculty might participate in the budget process. Shuter moved that the Executive Comminee of the Faculty Council meet with the Executive Commi1tee of the AAUP to discuss a special conference between the AAUP and the administration for the purpose of selling up a budget priorities committee. Motion was seconded and passed.

President's report. The Faculty Council Executive

Commi11cc continues to work with the AA UP Executive Commiuee on shared governance.

On March 9 at 4 p.m. there will be an on-site visit by the NCA team. They will meet with various faculty to discuss their impressions of the current status of EMU and its prospects for the future. Shuter and Work will represent the Faculty Council at this meeting.

Committee Reports Academic Policies. Work reported

that four nominees have been suggested to serve on the Sabbatical Leave Committee.

Institutional Policies. Goff reported that he is expecting reports from the Committee on Early Retirement and from the Writing Proficiency Task Force before the end or the semester.

Student Policies. Hutchings will report March 9 on the status of the Student Grade Gncvance. He will report March 25 on the Student Employment Gne,ance procedure and the General Grievance procedure.

Honorary Degrees. Dcl,enthal has spoken with Provost Evans concerning a change 1n deadlme date, for accepting nominees for honorary degrees.

Procedures and Elections. Daly reported that nomination announce­ments have been sent to all departments which "ill need to elect a representative for 198 1 -82. The deadline to receive the nomination petitions in the Faculty Council office is March 1 3. Department secretaries have the nominating petitions.

Old Business. HuszclO reported on the results of

the Faculty Development Survey. There were 17 responses to the 40 questionnaires. He stated that very little is done in-house, but almost all departments who responded to the survey send people to off-site conferences, workshops. etc. Development of teaching effectiveness is virtually ignored. A few departments bring in outside speakers and in-house colloquiums arc present but are not regular. Departmental meetings rarely focus on faculty development and departments encourage faculty research, special projects and the a11ainment of terminal degrees. It was suggested that he poll the MAC conference schools to see what they do in the area of faculty development. He will meet with the Academic Affairs Comminee to determine what to do next.

New business. Kurt Lauckner. representing the

Institutional Computer Service Commi11ee, asked for a link between that commi1tee and the Faculty Council. After discussion it was agreed that Lauckner. Goff and Huszczo will meet to make a specific proposal.

FicullU !1!!!!.!!rkland IS opera singer

"It was the only thing I was good at." That's the way Glenda Kirkland, assistant professor of music described her motivation for pursuing a singing career. Kirkland chose to specialize in opera because it was "very new for me" and because it was not a typical field for a black female singer. Kirkland began her interest in music in a traditional way-her mother encouraged her to take piano lessons. She also sang in choirs while growing up in Atlanta. But it wasn't until she was accepted at the Juilliard School in New York that she became "serious" about a career in voice, she remembered. "Juilliard was very �ompetitive. The people were distant. And there wasn't one student not good in their field," Kirkland said. But the experience was positive and she continued with an opera career. ppera, for most people, leaves rto middle ground- either a person loves it or hates it. Kirkland feels that many people don't like opera because "they don't know a lot about it. And they tend to shy away from something that they don't know about." Also, she added, it's not usually seen on television like other music performances. Previously many singers were dissuaded to pursue an opera c11ret>r hec11use thev were forct'd

to gain experience and training with European opera companies. Now, Kirkland said, there are several opera companies in the U.S. to gain experience with. After completmg her studies at Juilliard, Kirkland came to Michigan to get married and earn a master's degree in music. She received a ma5ter's degree from EMU in 1971 and studied under Oscar Henry. Thereafter, she joined the EMU Music Department faculty as a lecturer and has continued to teach applied voice, opera workshop, studies in performance literature-opera and music appreciation at EMU. For the past few years, Kirkland has directed the EMU Opera Workshop productions. Also, she is working on a doctorate in music at the University of Michigan. In addition, Kirkland also is a noted performer. As a soprano soloist, Kirkland has performed with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in Detroit, at the Kennedy Center and at Carnegie Hall. She has performed with other orchestras as well, including the Midland, the University of Michigan, the Pontiac-Oakland and, of course, the EMU Symphony orchestras. As a soprano, Kirkland has performed as the heroine in various operas, a role she enjoys. Her opera credits include lead roles in "Carmen," "The Pearl Fishers." "Porgy and Bess," Regents accent $1 5&.ooo

"Madame Butterfly," "Faust" and "Don Giovanni." Recently she appeared in the Calvin College Oratorio Society's performance of "Elijah" by Mendelssohn. Her favorite composers are Mozart and Puccini, who has works with "several roles I enjoy," Kirkland explained. l\.1rldand has won many

Shirley A. Green, director of academic services. contributed $ 1 0,000 to the Quirk Theater renovation project in memory of her late husband, James E. Green. Her husband was an EMU associate professor emeritus of history and former vice president for planning and development. In addition, the University

accepted an endowment gift by Jack Jyleen, an EMU alumnus, for $ 10,000 to be used towards the Jack Jyleen Scholarship fund. This scholarship, established in 1979 with a $ 10,000 gift from Jyleen, makes awards to undergraduate and graduate assistants on the varsity men's track team. Dr. Everett L. Marshall gave the University $1,000 for the Everett L. Marshall Scholarship fund. This fund provides scholarships to EMU Forensics Team members. Throughout 1980, Marshall gave a total of $6,000 toward this scholarship. Marshall was a University employee for 41 years. retiring in 1 979 as dean of Academic Records and Teacher Certification. EMU Regent Dolores K in1el and her husband, Dr. Raymond Kinzel, gave a $500 gift to the University to establish the Presidential Departmental Scholarship holding fund. The holding fund will be used until enough gifts have been received to establish additional Presidential Scholarship awards. These scholarship awards, originated by EMU President Porter, are given by University departments to first-time freshmen who have at least a 3.0 grade point average in high school. Beth Milford, vice chairwoman of the EMU Board of Regents, made a $2,000 gift to the Albert Milford Memorial Endowed Scholarship fund at the University. The fund was established in 1977 in memory of her late husband. an Ypsilanti physician. Milford's total gifts to the University surpass $5,000.

In November and December 1980, two bequests made to the University totaled $20,000. A bequest from the estate of Dr. Bradley M. Harris, a 1927 graduate, was made to the University. Also, a bequest of $ 10,000 from Fred and Marian Olmstead was received. Mrs. Olmstead graduated from EMU in 1910. Participants Robert P. Crowner, assistant professor and management consultant in Eastern's Department of Management conducted a workshop on "Developing Effective Manager­ial Skills" March 3-6 at the Holiday Inn in Hollywood, Calif.

by Bruce Maxwell Th.: Dt:troit Symphon} Orchestra wall perform worh b} Brahms. Wagner and Richard Strauss for the final concert in the 1980-8 1 EMU Guest Artist Series Wednesday. April I at 8 p.m. in Pease Auditorium. The Symphony will be conducted by Antal Dorati, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Works to be performed include the overture to "Tann­hauser" by Richard Wagner. "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks" by Richard Strauss, and the "Symphony :--lo. 4" by Johannes Brahms. The opera 'Tannhauser," which Wagner wrote in 1 845, brought the German romantic opera to its peak. Wagner always dreamed of achieving some of the grandeur of the ancient Greek tragedies for opera and used subjects for his operas denved from medieval German epics. The opt:ras abo .:mploy a respect for nature, elcm.:nt, of the supernatural in the dramas. and glorify the German land and people. Wagner became alienated from a public which considered opera to be only a frivolous amusement, and refused to make concessions to public taste. "Tannhauser" was not received well by the German public when it was first performed, but the opera is now con�idered to he one of Wagner's finest works, a v which r>an i:!1:y accouni, TUkOSkU oromoted · bu Regents Frank Tykosky, a computer operator in University Computing, was promoted to senior computer operator by the Board of Regents at its regular monthly meeting Feb. 25. Tykosky replaces James Graham who left the University to take another position. A native of Detroit, Tykosky resides in Ypsilanti and graduated from Ypsilanti High School in 1973. Tykosky, 25, is an EMU senior majoring in English and expects to graduate this April. He has been employed as a computer operator at Eastern since September 1980. As a senior computer operator, Tykosky will supervise and ensure the efficient production and operation of the computer operations area. Specifically, he will analyze and correct processing errors and coordinate the scheduled work flow and job runs for computer operators. Also, he will verify the thoroughness and accuracy of jobs before their release.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra with the wand of Antal Dorati revs up the end of the 1980-81 EMU Guest Artist Series with a concert April 1 at 8 p.m. in Pease Auditorium. for the hailing of Wagner as probably the single most important artist of any type in the latter half of the 19th centurv. The symphonic tone poem "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks" by Richard Strauss ( 1864-1949) is widely considered to be the most lasting of all orchestral works of the lae 19th century. The work is one of seven tone pot:ms Strauss wrote which established him as the most masterful composer in the form. It is thought that many of the protagonists in Strauss' tone poems were actually autobio­graphical creations by the composer, and the character of Till is no exception. The narrative background of the work is drawn from medieval German folklore. The character of Till is an outrageous prank­ster, who nonetheless also has lovable, fallible, and sometimes pathetic characteristics. The character epitomi1es the problems of a simple fellow who has to deal with his intellectual superiors and of a nonconformist who doesn't get along with the establishment. Musically, the tone poem transforms the post­romantic orchestra into a huge virtuoso ensemble, and carries to its fullest the 19th century desire for story-and-picture music. Johannes Brahms ( 1833-97) was a traditionalist who wrote in

a classical style more akin to that of Beethoven than his Romantic contemporaries. He wished to show that new and important things could still be said in the classical styh .ind his four S\ n:phonae� , . nd as perhaps the;; most :mportant testament ot has ability to create new statements in the tradition of the. classical masters. The "Symphony No. 4" was one of Brahms' last orchestral works. Brahms was reading the tragedies of Sophocles during the summers of 1884 and 1885 when he was composing the symphony and some critics feel this reading may have influenced the creation of the work. The Fourth Symphony is significantly different from Brahms' earlier three symphonies, employing harmonic language which is simpler and more subtle than his earlier symphonies. The serene progressions of the symphony echo from the classical past which Brahms so admired. Lnder the baton of Maestro Dorati. the Detroit Symphony Orchestra has regained its status as one of the top orchestras in the world. The 1980-R I season is the 67th in the Symphony's history. fht: Symphony has greatly expanded its activities in the past few years, returning to the recording field with an all­Tchaikovsky record in 1978 after an absence of nearly two 7 top music department

decades. Several albums have been released by the Symphony since that time. and all have met with high cntical acclaim. The Symphony's nine-program Beethoven Festival also was telecast nationally on public television in 1978. The Symphony's premiere tour of Europe occurred in October and November of 1979. and consisted of 24 concerts in eight countries. Each season the Detroit Symphony tours the eastern United States, and last spring the Symphony played its first three-concert series in New York's Carnegie Hall to rave reviews and enthusiastic audiences. Antal Dorati, music director of the Detroit Symphony, will celebrate his 75th birthday shortly after the concert at Eastern. He is recognized throughout the world as one of today's greatest conductors. Dorati has been awarded numerous conducting and composing honors and has also won virtuall� e,t:r) av\ard 111 the recording fidd for his more than 500 recordings. l1ckets for the Detroit Symphon� Orchestra are priced at $8 and $6.50 for the general public and $6 and $4.50 for students and senior citizens. Tickets arc a\ailablt.: at the EMU Campus Lafe box office in Goodison Hall and at Carty\ Music in downtown Ypsjlanti.

, FOCUS EMU March 17. 1981 5 Is the Berlin dancer who she saus she is? 'As You Desire me' exolores the question "l'\c alway·s liked Pirandello . . . He's ,er� modern in the sense that he"s concerned about what is real and \\hat is not real." That's how Bob :'vlcElya, director of the E :vt U Players' production of Luigi Pirandello's "As You Desire Me" explained his fascination with the Italian playwright. The play, a comedy-drama, will be performed at EMU March 24 through 28 at 8 p.m .. and Sunday, March 29, when the show begins at 7 p.m. The play is billed as "an exploration of that shadowland where what seems real may be and what surely is turns out to be an illusion." The play moves from a luxury penthouse in Berlin to a CQnservatory at an ornate country villa in northern Italy. The setting is 1930, just after the first World War. Director McElya explained that Pirandello. a famous Italian playwright who died in 1936, was pn::occuped with truth and illuswn. The theme permeated most of his 44 plays. "H<.: was interested in it from a narrower sense too." McElya said. "He liked to take the question even further by considering what is mad and what is not mad I think his interest stemmed from the fact that he was deeply in love with his beautiful wife who was insane." Essentially, McElya stated, Pirandello dabbled in communication. "Perception gives meaning. But, what is true depends partly on the objective evidence and partly on the subjective." the EMU director said. Throughout the play, McElya said, Pirandello questions all forms of scientific proof including psychology, psychiatry and medicine.

"But most of all. he questions people \\ ho say that they ha\ e seen s.omcthing," the director explained. I wo beautiful sets ha\ e bccn designed for the EMU production by P. George Bird, technical director of theater. Also, costumes are by Katie Holkeboer. Original incidental music for the production has been composed by Bradley Brookshire. an Ypsilanti native currently studying music at the University of Michigan. Basically. the plot of the play is based on the attempts of a group of wealthy Italian literati to unpuale the mystery surrounding a strange lady. "The woman is living in Berlin with a famous writer. She's a dancer. A stranger comes to her and says that she is the missing wife of his friend who he has been looking for. "The man claim\ that she is the wife of his friend who was carried off when the Germans overran northern Italy in the war. During the play she rcturns to Italy to senle the matter . . . Is she or isn't she the wife of the Italian'?," McElya queries. A cast of 17 attempts to find out. Lisa Angelocci plays the mysterious woman and Michael Bailey plays Carl Salter, the writer. Other cash members include Joey Golden as Bruno Pieri. David Taylor as Boffi, Cindy Meier as Lena Cucchi, Joe McNally as Salesio Nobile and Lori Johns as Mop. Tickets for "As You Desire Me" are $3.50; $2.25 for EMU students. They are available, in advance. from the Quirk Theater Box Office. Call 487-122 1 for ticket information or to make reservations. Photographed above during an EMU Players' rehearsal of "As You Desire Me" are Lisa Angelocci, who plays a mysterious Berlin dancer, Joey Golden, (left) who plays the Italian husband who claims the dancer is his long-lost wife, and Mike Bailey, the dancer's live-in lover. The play will be performed March 24-29. -·

Teaching and Learning center aids area schools Through a program in the EMU National Center on Teaching and Learning, local school districts and the University are working together to promote students' educational achievement. In the EMU School Based Assistance Program, two EMU facult1 members, Ors. Juanita Garfield and Kishor Wahi, are working as a team in two schools Ecorse School f°' o. 3 and McNair Elementary School in Inkster. The EMU team and teachers at each school are using workshops, meetings and classroom visits to find ways to help students improve their basic study skills in reading. writing, listening and math. Dr. Mary Green, acting assistant dean of the EMU College of Educauon and the program's administrator. cmphasized that the School Based Assistance Program 1s not a "hit and run" approach to education. Rather it's an on­going cooperative effort between teachers and EMU with emphasis on practical applications of educational theory. An important component of this program is that "we don't determine what teachers' needs arc. they tell us," Wahi explained. Ralph Block, building principal of Ecorse School No. 3, echoes that sentiment. "It's one of a few programs

working where I, as a school administrator, can go to a program such as EMU's and say that this is what I'd like done or this is what the teachers feel needs attention, can you do it? The answers have always been 'Yes!' That doesn't ordinarily happen (with such programs)." The program at Ecorse began last spring with a survey of teachers' wants and needs and a test score evaluation. That led to the formation of a tentative priority list, Block says. Teachers' major concerns at Ecorse included class management and organization and developing grade level objectives for math and reading. "We wanted to show some results right away, so we had about three in-service workshops on classroom management first because that's what the teachers wanted," Block notes. Consequently the School Based Assistance Program at Ecorse is tailor-made to fit the needs of that school. "What Ecorse needed is probably not what was needed by (schools) anywhere else. We asked EMU for help in areas we perceiYed that we needed help in," Block states. "bur teachers have been exposed to many in-service programs but with the EMU program, we work, we enjoy and we get something done." Recently, a new report card format for math was developed with input from the EMU team and teachers. It will show a

par�nt, Block explains, how their chikl is really doing m school by rep acing the standard grading system with an evaluation at four levels: above, at, or below grade level in a subject or an indication tha· the material has not yet been covered in class. "For too long we (educators) have given labels to students (based on their academic pcr:"ormance)," Garfield adds. She explains that instead of labeling students, the needs of tho,e students should be determined. Block says that "an off -shoot ot this EMU program is that our library re-opened, which had bee, closed for three years." The

,i Juanita Garfield

next stage of the program at Ecorse is to de"elop grade level objectives and a report card for reading. Mary Lloyd, McNair's building principal, is enthusiastic too about the program which began at McNair last spring. "The teachers feel that for once they're being listened to," Lloyd remarks. Like the program at Ecorse, the School Based Assistance Program at McNair began with determining needs through teacher evaluations of students and students' test scores on the Michigan Assessment Test. I n addition, the school's grade level objectives are being analyzed. Through this approach, future in-service workshops will stress developing reading skills. specifically in comprehension, Lloyd explains., The EMU faculty team of Garfield and Wahi is responsible for particular areas of expertise. Wahi, a professor of educational psychology, is primarily responsible for the assessment and evaluation of test data at the schools. Garfield, a professor of teacher education, handles goal setting, classroom management and instruction techniques. When needed, the EMU team calls on the expertise of various educational consultants. Dr. Mary Bigler and Dr. Donald Buckeye, for example, are two EMU faculty members who presented in-service workshops on reading and math,

respectively. The School Based Assistance Program benefits EMU by giving important feedback to the University about the emerging needs of public schools in basic skills instruction. Faculty involved in the program can pass their first-hand classroom experience along to their EMU students in education. The program will continue in Ecorse School No. 3 for three years while the program at McNair Elementary School will operate for a year. For further information about the School Based Assistance Program offered by EMU, call Dr. Mary Green, College of Education. at 487-31 34. Part1c1oants

GER CER survey The Center of Educational Resources (University Library, A-V, T-V Instructional Support Center) is attempting to study the Center's operations and the needs of the academic community in order to provide optimal service in light of the numerous changes taking place within the University. During the fall 1980 semester, in order to assess the current effectiveness of the CER and to develop long range plans to insure continued and increasing effectiveness, Dr. Morell D. Boone, CER d irector, and the CER staff developed a comprehensive planning process. The conceptual basis for this process is taken from a model plan prepared by the Office of Management Studies of the Association of Research Libraries and is called the Systematic Study Project. The principal products of the project will be reports that describe current CER practices and that prescribe certain actions to strengthen CER performance. The Systematic Study Project is being conducted in two analytical phases. Phase I, which is taking place during the winter 1981 semester, is an analytical overview of the CER within its institutional environment. It contains four elements: I ) an historical review of the CE R, including an analysis of the key historical events comprising the past of both the institution and the Library/CER; 2) an assessment of CER needs, including an analysis of the issues facing the CER in providing services to its users as seen by them and the CER staff; 3) an environmental analysis, including an examination of both institutional and other external factors that can inf1uence the CER operations and performance; and 4) an analysis

of CER goals and objectives, including a re\ iew and evaluation of both institutional and CER goals and objectives. Phase 11, which will take place during the fall 1981 semester, will be based on the data collected and analyzed in Phase I and will focus on the following four areas: I ) management systems; 2) human resources; 3) services and collections; and 4) technology and facilities. While Phase I is a general analysis, Phase II will be action­oriented research aimed toward producing eff1:ctive, workable recommendations. Four task forces have been formed to carry out the Systematic Study Project. While more than half of the CER personnel are task force members, the entire CER staff has a role in this project and will be contributing their concerns, views, insights and suggestions through questionnaires, discussions and consultations. Similar methods are being used to gather views, insights and suggestions from EMU faculty. administrators, students and other l ibrary users. A campus advisory group is being formed as one meaos of soliciting user impressions concerning the CER. Another method being used is the "CER Image Survey." Copies of this questionnaire are being distributed to administrators and faculty through the departmental offices and to students and other users when they come into the Library. You are urged to use this opportunity to contribute to our Systematic Study Project by returning the CER image survey to the Director's Office, University Library, as soon as po�sible. If you have any questions about this Survey or the Project in general, please call the Director's Office at 487-0020. NSF also has announced the availability of National Research Opportunity Grants for Women. In a special effort to increase participation of women investigators, the foundation will provide research initiation funds for women in any scientific and engineering discipline supported by NSF. Short-term grants to assist eligible women in planning and developing a research project also will be offered through this program.
