Fine Arts Gallery. Pevnick's '"Rainfall Project" is both a

sculpture and a fountain. Within an enclC'sed shell, twinkling drops of water fall from the fountain head and appear to be suspended in space as they are fit from below by strobe lights in the base. A computer controls release of the water droplets and the fighting system.

Brainstorming sessions strive for excellence

Symposiums and conferences are tricky things. They take time and energy to organize and present. But even more difficult is providing the participants with some lasting value once they leave the programs.

A symposium entitled "Incentives for Excellence" may have been completed Sept. 9, but its sponsor, the Faculty Development Committee, doesn't want people to forget what was said there. Dr. Dick Horton, technology and a moderator at one of the panel discuSSions at the symposium, said the committee wants to continue stimulating further discussion of some of the ideas presented at the gathering.

At the symposium, Dr. Joseph Lowman of the psychology department at the University of North Carolina. presented a seminar on assessing teaching effectiveness, emulating expert teachers. improving college instruction and promoting excellence among faculty and staff. The session was followed by panel and group discussions involving audience interaction to identify suggestions of actions that the University community could take in encouraging. developing and recognizing the quality of teaching.

"The groups came i.:p with a lot of good ideas," Horton said. "The Facuity Welfare Committee will be looking at the

Uu given celebrity status during visit

Taiwan welcomes back one of its achievers During a visit to her homeland of

Taiwan this summer, Dr. Nora Liu. HPER, was surprised by the warm welcome she received. In fact, she was treated fike a celebrity.

What prompted the celebrity status? She has the distinction of being the first person from the Repubric of China (Taiwan) to earn a doctoral degree in physical education since the Communist take-over of the Chinese mainland in 1948. During her 75-day visit to her homeland she taught two seminars at the country's new National CoDege of Physical Education and Sports.

··Tuey alt know me by now.·· she commented. Although she is a U.S. citizen and has resided in the U.S. for nearly 30 years. she has returned to Taiwan a number of times--as a guest instructor for physical education seminars. and as a presentor at the International Congress of Physical Education. held in 1984 in Taipei.

The seminars she conducted this summer were at the special request of the president of the National College of Physical Education and Sports. one of only two instit<.1tions in Taiwan that offer a master's degree program in physical education. The college was created in 1987.

Academic Honesty Policy clarifications accepted A more clearly defined version of the

University's Academic Honesty Policy was approved by Faculty Senate at its Nov. 1 meeting.

The policy sets forth the procedures to be taken by the University and faculty in cases of cheating and plagiarism.

Dr. Ann Marie Lancaster, vice chair, explained that the previous policy was vague in some areas and difficult to interpret. A committee attempted to organize the policy. not change it, she said.

"Some of the procedures in the (previous) policy did not always work well in the way they were set up," Lancaster said. "The procedures have been more elaborated to make them more clear."

There was some discussion on whether the policy should be printed in full in the Academic Charter, or whether an abbreviated version would be more useful. The senate decided to publish a full version of the policy.

Also, Lancaster agreed to five friendly

amendments proposed by the senate that further clarified the policy.

In other business. senate members also discussed a proposed resolution on faculty workload. The resolution called for instructional units to be aware of factors that might contribute to potential inequities in workload identified by the Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Workload. such as alternative class organization. required travel and ratio of contact hours to credit hours.

It also proposed that college and University administrators continue to be "sensitive" to the diversity that exists within and between instructional units.

Dr. Karl Schurr. a member of the ad hoc committee, reported that the committee had worked for almost two years on a study of faculty workload. However. he said he was not happy with the final version of the proposal after it had been approved and changed by the Faculty Welfare Committee.

··we need something more to address

the issue than sensitivity," Schurr said. A motion to pass the proposal failed.

However. Dr. Bartley Brennan. chair, said the proposal can be revised and broughl baci< to the assembly for further consideration.

The senate also debated a resolution proposed by Dr. Elliot Blinn against the $600,000 being spent on the new University information center. Blinn said he felt there were many other more important needs on campus on which the money could be spent, such as scholarships.

Dr. Ron Lancaster said he saw a need for an attractive information center at the University, and said the administration originally had proposed the project at $300,000. but the Board of Trustees increased the amount to$600,000.

The proposal was tabled until Dr. J. Christopher Dalton, vice president for planning and budgeting, could attend a meeting to explain the projec!"s costs.

UGC discusses alternative track for music degree

At its Oct. 19 meeting Undergraduate Council discussed a proposal for an alternative track for a bachelor of arts degree in music.

In introducing the proposal, Dr. Robert Thayer, dean of the College of Musical Arts, and Dr. Michael Marsden, associate dean of arts and sciences. said it would provide a broader opportunity for students to pursue a music program without taking the professional bachelor of music degree.

The current arts and sciences degree emphasizes the history and theory of music with little experience in performance. The proposed althernative would provide students with experience in performance and applied skills but would not require the extensive performance demands of a bachelor's in music degree. A minor will be required because the purpose of the alternative is to give a broader educational experience.

During discussion it was agreed that the catalog description might be less ambiguous if it were called a B.A. major in music performance and "area studies" rather than B.A. major in music performance and "allied professions."

In other business. Dr. Eloise Clark, council chair, distributed a list of the 300 and 400 level courses that have been approved by the University General Education Committee for inclusion in the Integrative General Education Core. Students may select from a'llong these courses to fulfill their general education requirement; however. students are not presently required to use upper level courses in meeting their general education obfigation.

In response to a question, Clark said she has already inquired about the special designation for philosophy 319, 327 and 342. Dr. Andrew Kerek, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, also suggested that the category designations on the rist should correspond both in name and in order to the titles of the functional understandings listed in the catalog.

On May 4, 1970 at Kent State University 13 seconds of gunfire changed the life of Alan Canfora.

Wounded when Ohio National Guardsmen fired 67 times into a crowd of unarmed students demonstrating against the war in Vietnam, Canfora has dedicated his rite to revealing what he believes to be the stiD-untold facts surrounding that incident in which four students died and Canfora and eight others were wounded.

At 8:30 p.m. Wednesday (Nov. 9), Canfora will bring his story to 121 West Hall. He wiD discuss the events surrounding the Kent shootings and the issue of student activism--then and now. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Canfora is the founder and director of the Kent May 4 Foundation, which was founded to investigate the shootings and present any new-found information to the

public. He has become recognized as the

leading advocate for justice in the Kent State shootings. In his speeches, he also has encouraged students to maintain the tradition of political activism on college campuses.

The classes took place approximately 20 miles south of Taipei at the country's new Sports Arena. which serves as the temporary campus of the National College of Physical Education and Sports. Residence halls, various gymnasiums, and administration buildings still are under construction. so Liu resided Taipei. 'I'eacb.in.g,~_f_ro_m~_t_he~f-ro_n_t_p_ag_e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Transportation to her classes was provided by the college school bus. Due to heavy traffic, the 20-mile trip took approximately 45-60 minutes each way.

Liu was personally introduced to her class by the president of the college. and was the guest of honor at a dinner near the end of her stay.

··Tue students there are really motivated," she said. "Some of them are interested in coming to the U.S. to study for their Ph.D .• since doctoral programs in physical education are not currently available in the Republic of China."

Liu is highly regarded not only for the achievement of her doctoral degree, bu1 also because she passed through the very competitive education program in Taiwan.

"In Taiwan, students attend a three-year junior high school and have to lake an exam in variOus subject areas to qualify for senior high school," she said. "Admission to a senior colege is very, very competitive. Each year, about 50,000 students lake the entrance-exam, but less than 12,000 are admitted. Junior colleges and other technical schools are the second choices of these high school graduates.''

Applications for admission to the new National College of Physical Education and Sports were received from 300 students seeking to enter the undergraduate program and 150 who wanted to begin graduate work. Only 50 were admitted during the initial year of operation, and enroilment was slightly more than 1 00 at the beginning of the 1988-89 academic year.

Liu graduated from Taiwan National Normal University in 1956, and taught physical education at the high school level in Taiwan until 1959. She earned her master's and doctoral degrees in physical education at the University of Illinois in 1961 and 1970. She joined the Bowling Green faculty in 1976 and, in adcfrtion to teaching classes. conducts research and service projects at the University's Fitness and Sport Physiology Laboratory.

suggestions to use as direction for next year's symposium. We're also hoping the ideas may be used by appropriate departments or that deans might use them for a theme for a college session or retreat.··

This year's conference was the second one held on campus and Horton said the committee is planning to make it an annual September event. A report is compiled at the conclusion of each symposium listing the suggestions made for teaching excellence.

"We conducted the discussions in the spirit of brainstonr.ing," he said. "In making the report, we didn't prioritize any of the suggestions or conduct a feasibility study. We just wanted to provide a forum for the ideas and get the ball romng."

Listed below are the ideas suggested by the symposium's audience. They are categorized by actions the administration and faculty could lake to help insure teaching excellence.

Actions administrators could take: -Organize fairs and shows for

innovative new instructional technologies. lncflvidual units could sponsor shows dealing with their particular technology.

-Solicit opportunities for business firms to present new teaching technology demonstrations to faculty.

-Improve the physical environment in which teaching occurs. Make sure rooms are clean, painted, have working audio visual equipment and good seating arrangements.

-Provide adequate financial resources in operating budgets for instructional materials (e.g. films, slides, classroom equipment).

-Provide financial resources for major instructions! problems (e.g. special aids for large classes, broken audio visual equipment. graduate assistants to aid in grading papers).

·Insist that everyone should be required to give student evaluations. These evaluations do not need to be submitted for evaluation/promotion, but faculty members should be confronted with the reality of their students· perceptions.

-separate the performance evaluations from pay scale.

·Provide one day per semester designated as ''Teacher Improvement

Day" where there are no classes. but hold workshops that focus on teaching.

-Appoint an "Instruction Advocate" who would be given release time to learn about effective teachers and share this with colleagues.

-Establish a master teacher program; provide release time for designated master teachers who would serve as resource people, mentors. discussion leaders, etc. for improvement of teaching.

-Identify, recognize and use faculty expertise on campus to share resources (e.g. College of Education expertise about effective teaching).

-Provide technologies available on campus and actively promote their use.

-Appoint an instructional advocate to learn about effective teaching.

-P~ovide departmental level as well as a formal structure for mentoring to improve teaching. Encourage intercflSCipllnary team teaching.

-EstabflSh a mentor system by redistributing/trickling down resources to non-tenured faculty.

-Divide committee activities fairly and evenly (i.e. service activity).

-Establish University-wide mechanism such as forums to share research ideas. results, critique, exchange "Researchers Without Partners.''

-Create a University-wide mechanism to eliminate the isolation associated with research and encourage interdisciplinary interaction.

-Become aware of what is going on in each classroom in each department.

-Provide a lot of positive recognition of incfrvidual accompflShments in teaching and communicate this recognition to the teachers involved.

Actions the faculty could take: -Provide more opportunities to share

and learn about one another and each other's interests (e.g. Faculty Development Committee-sponsored brown bags focusing on teaching).

·Informal, non-evaluation chances for peer sharing (e.g. class visits, Faculty Club, retreats, "Mentor System, etc.).

-Dialogue about teaching by visiting other classrooms, informal cflSCUSSions. workshops (within frame of existing structure).

-Promote collegiality (i.e. personal and collective theme of "fraternity").

-Make teaching and research more

equivalent as recognized in merit and other reward systems. Institute University-wide departmental merit systems equivocating teaching and research.

-Keep up-to-date in one·:; field. -Promote more sharing, more

faculty-generated activities (e.g. class visits. workshops informal settings in which to share teaching tips, etc.). Personal encouragement would increase participation in workshops more than publicity.

-Form a creative network of peer observation and consultation of classroom teaching both within and across disciplines. Share information on ideas. methods and fauclty member expertise.

-Find more ways for public recognition of excellent teaching. Identify opportunities for more public exposure of fauclty with a focus on teaching.

-Realize and understand that there is a lot to learn about teaching students. not just subject matter_

-Push students while being supportive. Make "C" the average again--truly like your students.

-Promote the ''Transactional Approach" to the classroom by professor-student interaction.

-Create more opportunities for personal and social contacts with students.

-Provide improved help for teaching assistants in each department.

Suggested workshops that would help faculty:

-A course on ··how we learn." ·A course on the idea of ··lifelong

learning" for everyone. -A workshop on the subject of student

evaluation: discussion, designing evaluation instruments and testing the validity of these instruments to be used by individuals, departments and colleges.

-Workshops by coHeagues and/or local businesses on what technology is available in a department's field. computer software, faculty expertise and invited professionals.

-Workshops on individual awareness, the teaching process and subject matter content that needs to be developed.

-Dialogues about teaching: disc1 JSsions of visits to other faculty or college classrooms.

Vol. XII., No. 20 Bowling Green State University November 14, 1988

A new view for Firelands College: Arboretum project starts Ground has been broken for Phase I

of the McBride Arboretum at Firelands CoUege.

The arboretum is named in honor of Dr. James H. McBride, who was the director of Firelands College when it opened in 1968 and named dean in 1971. He retired in 1973 but continued to work part-time on the campus until 1983, serving as coordinator of the Office for Community Services. McBride continues to reside in Huron.

The arboretum will be located on the west side of the college grounds and will cover approximately 20 acres. It is designed as an educational and recreational facility that will serve the area community and be an environmental classroom opportunity for elementary and secondary schools.

The location also wiU provide a place for the arts, with a variety of settings for performances. exhibits and outdoor classes for landscape design and

'nature's art. The structured design features

include a remodeled entry court and Rrelands Plaza; an arboretum entry alley and signage; an orientation pavilion with educational exhibits and information about the arboretum; and demonstration gardens with test plots for student and faculty studies and display.

Vegetation around the lake wilt reflect the primary groups in the Firelands region and will include a beech forest, and elm-ash swamp forest. a mixed oak forest and freshwater marshes.

The arboretum plan, designed by Behnke Associates Inc., a Cleveland landscape firm, calls for a central lake surrounded by contoured mounds, trees. shrubs and prairie.

Phase I involves the excavation of the lake and contoured mounds. as well as the grading. The construction is being made possible by donations of labor and equipment by the S.E. Johnson Company of Maumee and Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. of Fredericktown. Completion of the first phase is expected in spring 1989.

During the next 20 years, Fire/ands College's backyard wiD be transformed into a unique natural edcuational site featuring a series of gardens, lakes and earth mounds covering approximately 20 acres. The James H. McBride Arboretum is named in honor of the first dean of the coDege and wiH be developed through donors gifts.

The entrance will be at the west end of the college's north parking lot which is accessible from Boos or Rye Beach Roads.

Pk.nning for the arboretum has been

in the process for eight years and has been directed by the James H. McBride Arboretum Board which is compcsed of Huron-area citizens

Funding ior the arncretum will come

from community donations. It is expected that the construction will continue in phases as funds become available during the next 15 to 20 years.

The Social Philosophy and Policy Center receives $3 million donation

The Social Philosophy and Policy Center has been awarded the largest grant in the hi::.tory of the University, a S3 million endowment grant from the Stranahan Foundation of Toledo. President Olscamp announced last week.

Dr. Fred MiUer. executive director of the center, said the primary purpose of the grant will be to expand the center's resident scholars program, which will be named the Stranahan Institution on Politics ana Philosophy. A second purpose is to create the Stranahan Chair in Social Philosophy and Policy.

The center. formed in 1981, is an interdisciplinary research group that stimulates thinking and study on issues in which ethical and philosophical considerations play a role in the determination of public poficy.

"We are thrilled to receive such a generous gift from the Stranahan Foundation," Olscamp said. "Clearly, it speaks very highly of our Social Philosophy and Policy Center to be able to attract such tremendous support for its academic endeavors. Such a gift wiD help to continue developing programs which have become intemationaDy recognized."

The grant is the sixth the center has received from the Stranahan Foundation. totaling $4.4 million.

A.A. Stranahan Jr.. chairman of the board of Champion Spark Plug Company and a trustee of the Stranahan Foundation, said, "We are delighted to support the center which is the largest and most distinguished organization of its kind in the United States. Its contributions to the philosophical analysis of public policy questions have been internationally recognized."

Dr. Jeffrey Paul, associate director, supervises the center's highly successful fund-raising efforts. In the past seven years the center has receiveel 1 05 grants amounting to approximately $7. 75 million from 37 different sources. The most recent grant from the Stranahan Foundation will bring the center's total endowment to approximately $6 million.

MiDer said the new endowment grant wiD enable the center to enhance and expand its programs, particularty the resident scholars program. "The center already has brought to Bowling Green highly esteemed scholars from England
