Under the new proposal, religious activities at Cornell will be divided into three sections, a Council of Federated Ministries, which would be made up of the various denominational clergy; an Office for the Co-ordination of White Home: Humanities Focal Point The former home of Cornell's first president. Andrew Dickson White, the University's art museum since 1953, will be preserved as a focal point for activities in the humanities at Cornell. President Dale R. Corson has announced.

The committee was appointed by Lisle C. Carter Jr.. vice president for social and environmental studies, who had been asked by University President Dale R. Corson to explore Cornell's role in major social and environmental issues. Chairman of the committee, called the Committee to Review Urban Studies, is Barclay C. Jones, acting director of Cornell's Center for Housing and Environmental Studies. Late last year, Carter sent a letter to faculty members who have been or are involved or have an interest in urban studies asking them to meet and express their views. At this meeting of more than 50 faculty members on December 11, 1969. it was agreed that Carter would name a small committee from among those attending with Jones as Continued on Page 7 Religious Affairs, replacing the present CURW staff and b e c o m i n g solely an administrative body concerned with the physical operations of Anabel Taylor Hall; and a Foundation for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy, a body that would take over many of the activities presently organized by the CURW staff. According to Tom E. Davis, professor of economics and CURW board chairman, the main difference between the present and proposed structures is that members of the Foundation staff would not be University officials and would be paid by CURW, not Cornell. Presently, CURW staff Continued on Page 7 has been under discussion since plans were announced to build a new art museum Construction of the new museum is scheduled to start this summer and . the building is not expected to be ready for occupancy until late fall, 1972. "However," Corson said, "the University wishes at this time to reveal its intention to preserve the historic residence of its first president, a leading humanist of his day. and to commit its future USB to the humanities at Cornell. Because of its location at the very heart of the campus, assigning it to the humanities symbolizes their central importance to the University.

He also stated that many of the changes called for by the Constituent Assembly require action by the New York State Legislature in Albany. "The trustees are not the ultimate authority in all matters," he said, "but we aren't squeamish about asking Albany for changes." Kiplinger noted that the structure of the Board has been changed a number of times since the founding of Cornell, especially when faculty and alumni representatives were added. "None of these problems foreclose support action on the part of the Board," he added. "The Senate will have Continued on Page 3 Chronicle Capsule CALENDAR report to the faculty.

These two points suggest variety of instructional practices. The specific issues are discussed in Section V. IV. The quarterly calendar we offer for consideration has three regarding it be left to each course. The resultant gain in flexibility is especially valuable under a quarter system with shorter terms and more frequent multi-term courses. Single-term* courses give up a greater proportion of their class time if independent study is scheduled and may find it less important to allow time for recalling the (less distant) beginning of the term. Multi-term courses, on the other hand, have the whole period between the end of classes and the start of instruction the following term during which students may pursue suitably low-pressure independent study. Where, on the other hand, a s u b s t a n t i a l p e r i o d of independent study is valuable, it can often be accomodated in the proposed quarter system by increasing the frequency of weekly meetings during the formal part of the course. quarter system with minimal change, as the amount of material covered and the frequency of meetings can stay the same. However, the elapsedtime question suggests that the change is more substantial than may at first seem. Beyond this, there is considerable diversity of opinion regarding the value of longer class sessions. Moreover, this is a case where flexibility is costly, as a 70minute period, for example, preempts two one-hour slots. Such sessions therefore appear to be feasible only in the evenings. We do definitely envisage the use of multiple periods, for example two fifty-minute sessions back-toback with a short break in d. Adjustment of semester between. Finally, the special courses.

The ballots and envelopes will be numbered so that if a member of the Cornell community reports his ballot stolen and questions whether somebody forged a ballot under his name, the envelope and ballot can be checked and matched. Van Riper said the numbering is ]ust a precautionary measure being taken to avoid fraudulent votes in the election. No ballots and envelopes will have to be compared unless a complaint is brought to the attention of the election staff. "Nobody can violate the secret ballot without the Ombudsman's permission," Van Riper said. He explained that as the ballots are opened and numbered, the ballots and envelopes will be immediately separated The envelopes will go to Mrs. Alice H. Cook, University Ombudsman, and will never be seen without her permission. " A membef of the Ombudsman's staff'will always be present during the counting operation and the tallying of the 'yes' and 'no' votes." Van Riper said. The counting is expected to begin February 25. Van Riper emphasized that the ballots must go through the United States mail and must be postmarked no later than midnight February 23. Also, the back of each envelope must contain the signature and printed name of the voter whose ballot is enclosed. "We hope to have a result by March 1," Van Riper said, "but the final result could be as late as March 5."

These details, he said, will be discussed with the various units within the University concerned with the humanistic disciplines such as the Society for the Humanities and the Humanities Council of the College of Arts and Sciences. The humanities departments at Cornell are English, the foreign literatures, the classics, philosophy, history, history of art, theater art. and music. It is expected the building could provide as many as ten rooms for both large and small seminar groups, offices for visiting humanist scholars, a residential suite for visiting lecturers, and a lounge for informal gatherings. After a semester of investigating grievances and inequities within the University, the Office of the University Ombudsman has issued a report to the community summarizing five months of operation. Since September, when Mrs. Alice H. Cook, professor of industrial and labor relations, was appointed the first University Ombudsman, her office has handled nearly 200 cases and inquiries. Complainants have come to the office, in 287 Ives Hall, from all sectors of the University community — alumni to undergraduates, professors to non-academic employes. According to the report. Mrs. Cook has interpreted her role as one of an investigator of complaints, within the concept of a court of last resort.' "A complainant will have done all he can for himself before the Ombudsman intervenes," the report states. The O f f i c e of the Ombudsman itself cannot set aside decisions of other offices of the University, but instead brings "to their attention the problems and the circumstances" of the issue, seeking "reconsideration or review." If this avenue fails. Mrs. Cook's office will, if the facts warrant it, call the case to the attention of the next highest administrator in the chain of University authority. Mrs. Cook reports that several cases have gone as far as the Provost, while many have been decided by a vice president or dean. The report states that "it is extremely doubtful that anyone seriously wants a single individual" to have the power to order changes across the University. In addition to investigating complaints, the Office of the Trustees On Senate: Continued from Page 1 enormous labors to perform." Kiplinger cautioned that much of the proposed Senates duties will be the "burdensome, exhausting work of management — setting priortties. dealing with the nitty-gritty'." As far as he is concerned, the Senate proposal is particularly valuable because it may "create a climate of community for Cornell." Kiplinger said that since the abolition of student government in 1968, there has been no "focus" for the various student, faculty, administration and trustee opinions. "It is important to have a forum which can lead to action. We've been without that and I think we've all missed it." he said. Kiplinger concluded that the mood of the Board is " c o n s t r u c t i v e . one of accommodation and serious consideration " Ombudsman has initiated several investigations on its own — most notably, a summary of University policy on the confidentiality of student records. The office also runs an "information center" to answer Office of University Ombudsman and sent to then Provost Dale R. Corson on August 26, 1969. In this respect the Cornell Ombudsman's jurisdiction is somewhat broader than that at a number of other universities OMBUDSMAN STAFF — The University Ombudsman, Mrs Alice H Cook, chats with-her assistants, Alan L. Sapakie, administrative assistant (left), and Steven W Telsey (center), assistant for information questions about various services available to Cornellians. The full text of the Ombudsman's report follows: Report of the Ombudsman The office was established on September 15, 1969 when the President (Dale R. Corson) asked Mrs. Alice H. Cook to serve as the U niversity' s first Ombudsman. She began operations on September 22 and was joined within a short period by two assistants. Alan L. Sapakie and Steven W. Telsey. Mrs. Danilee Spano who is the secretary in the office completes the staff. The office has been operating in temporary headquarters in Mrs. Cook's quarters in Room 287 of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) while Sapakie and Telsey are housed in the Publications Center of the ILR School. Volume of Work A total of 136 cases and 52 inquiries came into the office between September 22 and January 30 (These two categories are meant to distinguish between requests for help in problem-solving and requests for information.) The office was established to investigate "at the request of members of the community . . . any grievances that may arise against the University or against anyone in the University exercising authority." All quotations are from the report prepared by Alfred H. Kahn, Robert Julius Thome Professor of Economics and chairman of an ad hoc committee on Constituting an which have established such an office, where complaints come only from students. Complaints have come to the Ombudsman from every quarter of the university. Procedure The Ombudsman was directed "to investigate," "to raise questions." and "to make recommendations." On this latter point, he was given "wide latitude in making public his findings and recommendations" at the same time respecting "requests of complainants that their anonymity be preserved" He was to have "access to such official files and information as he feels is required to fulfill his function. Any requests for information from him must receive the highest priority from every member of the community." With one minor exception, the office has met no difficulty whatever in getting information it needed and indeed can report that officials of the University have been extremely cooperative and forthcoming. The Ombudsman has found on the whole that complainants want to know how they can handle their own problems and a good deal of time goes in a discussion of available channels and referral to them. In fact, the Ombudsman has come to apply what the lawyers and labor relations people call "exhaustion of remedies," namely the assumption that a complainant will have done all he can for himself before the Ombudsman intervenes. Thus, the Ombudsman usually Continued on Page 6 4 CORNELL CHRONICLE The Best In Indoor Track Wendell Mottley of Yale set the world indoor record of 1:09.2 in the 600-yard run at the 1964 Heptagonals in Barton Hall.

If, as in many cases, he has already undertaken a good deal without getting satisfaction either in information or in remedy. the Ombudsman accepts the complaint, checks the reported facts with the office or individual responsible for decisions, calls to their attention the problem and the circumstances surrounding it and asks for reconsideration or review. Where the responsible office replies that it has already considered all the facts and that its decision stands, the Ombudsman will, if the facts and equities seem to warrant it. call the case to the attention of the next highest administrator in the university's chain of command. A few cases have gone as far as the provost; a good many to one of the vice presidents or the controller or a dean. Types of Complaints The complaints which have been received run the scale from trivial to extremely serious; from simple and direct matters of information to complicated issues involving University policy and administration. Frequently, however, the relatively direct and simple matters which have discommoded an individual will have a general application. The Ombudsman has endeavored to call to the attention of the appropriate University official the substance of such individual complaints in order to forestall a repetition of an error. Particularly when the remedy for a complaint may affect a good many other people than the individual who came to the office, the Ombudsman has endeavored to consult with a spokesman or representative of the group which might be affected When a teaching assistant raised the question of load of work under the agreement negotiated last spring on wages and hours, the Ombudsman sought to consult with the organization of teaching assistants. Since that organization seemed to have disintegrated, the Ombudsman discussed the problems raised with the heads of the Graduate Student Coordinating Committee. When a single complaint brought out the information that the University's insurance does not ' cover personal losses. the Ombudsman asked both the dean of the faculty and the dean of students to convey this information to their constituencies. Most complaints come from individuals, but a certain number of groups have brought grievances to the attention of the Ombudsman The Cuban students was one such group who came for guidance and assistance in their endeavor to establish a new course in one of the departments Similarly, a group of teaching assistants raised a problem on withholding taxes. A fraternity brought up questions on maintenance and u p k e e p . A g r o u p of demonstrators consulted the office about their plans and strategies. Faculty as well as students have raised problems with the office. One faculty member raised questions about the procedures and jurisdiction of a faculty-student committee. Another asked for help in matters of scheduling Still another sought advice on the reception of students in a course with a limited enrollment. While many questions have to do with non-academic matters— such as housing and dining, athletic facilities, financial aid, and discrimination — academic matters of grading, admission to courses, programs and schools, transfers and class assignments make up an important part of the case load Again it should be emphasized that the Ombudsman's major concern jn these matters is whether the complainant has received fair treatment—have all the factors in the case been taken into consideration by the committee or professor or faculty making a decision; were fair rules applied and were they administered uniformly; and did students — or others concerned — have full and timely notice that the rules existed and would be applied. A number of University employes have come to the office In a number of instances they say. in effect. "Employes have no channels at the University for making their wishes or views known and we should like to use your office to do that ' Where they have grievances including the grievance of dismissal they are referred to the Personnel Department's grievance procedure. The Ombudsman is concerned that this procedure shall be used and that the employe shall understand how it operates and what his rights are within it. The Power and Powers Some students coming to the office have been disappointed that the Ombudsman does not have the power to order change — to convert the bus system from one set up mainly to transport university employes who must park off-campus to one designed to transport students around the campus; to change grades; to reinstate dismissed employes; to lower prices in the student dining halls; or to countermand the decision of an academic records committee to drop a student. However, it is extremely doubtful that anyone seriously wants a single individual to assume and exercise such powers The function of the Ombudsman is to make the University administration work and work fairly. Where procedures are faulty, the fault should be made evident and the persons responsible for correcting it reminded of their responsibilities. The Ombudsman rarely closes a case without notifying the administrators concerned of the shortcoming or injustice which the case exemplifies. Continued on Page 7 Cornell In the '70's Morison Continued from Page I available some excellent building sites provided we have something to put on them. We will be starting soon, I hope, planning for the first phase of a group of buildings for the biological sciences. The act of planning has not yet started. We have not gotten these financed, but the first phase has been programmed and we are now seeking financial support. Other construction in the same area, that is the area of programming but not yet financed, would include a teaching facility for the College of Veterinary Medicine (which is going to expand its enrollment), and some additional buildings replacing obsolete buildings for the New York State College of Agriculture. Again, these are not yet funded but they are in the works as far as our thinking program goes Q: You seem to have many of the sites on the lower campus pretty well used up The new social science building across the street from Day Hall is being erected on a . parking lot site. The Johnson Museum, about which you spoke, is also going to be erected on a parking lot site. Where are you going to park? A: We are not going to be parking as much as we have in the past in the center of the campus. This has been a conscious policy that we have been following and we are well aware of the fact that almost every building that we have built, on the lower campus at any rate, not only displaces existing parking but also creates an additional parking load that has to be taken care of someplace. We did start, just a few years ago. with the development of a scheme of peripheral parking lots. It was at that time that we purchased buses to provide a shuttle service in from the peripheral lots. The answer, certainly as far as I am concerned, and I think the answer that others thinking about the problem arrive at. is that parking must be on the edges of the campus and that we can no longer afford to turn over for dead storage of automobiles valuable space for academic operations in the middle of the campus. Incidentally. a professor's automobile is allotted more space than a professor is allotted for his office and this gives some indication of the problems that we are up against. We are going to further extend, I am sure, peripheral parking. There is a committee that is now working on investigating alternative solutions to what is admittedly a very serious problem. Q: Buildings are going up. so space is not going to be very readily available on campus Has parking is the cost It is by far the most expensive way to park vehicles. Structures above ground are also costly, much more costly that surface parking. We are investigating the possibility of some structures, but they would not be in the center of the campus either. They would be on the fringe of the campus and the only reason we would go into structures at all would be to conserve land and those parts of the campus where land is in really short supply. Q: Will those academic buildings you -mentioned be high rise buildings? Named Cornell University President Dale R. Corson has announced the establishment of a new endowed chair, the Richard J Schwartz Professorship, and the election of its first holder. Dr. Robert S. Morison. director of the Division of Biological Sciences. A: The multi-categorical research building for Veterinary Medicine is a high rise building. The Johnson Museum is a high rise building. The others are not in planning stage yet so I cannot say, but ir is certain that, in the future, we will be building more high rise buildings primarily in order to preserve the openess of the campus. It is a very simple kind of choice of alternatives. We can either spread out with three and four-story buildings and eat up open land or we can go high rise and try to preverve as much open space as possible. We will have a combination of both, but certainly there will be more high rise buildings in the future. Q You talked about the availability of space. Is there a possibility of the development of a new campus somewhere else in the state? A: This is a very interesting, question. I myself am certain that we must address ourselves to some general long-rang thinking about the future of a large university like Cornell and its relationship to other universities and to other liberal arts colleges within a sphere of influence. We must think hard about the next generation or two and how Cornell University might best serve not only its immediate constituency but perhaps a broader constituency than we now recognize. This may well mean some sort of arrangements with other univertisites. with other liberal arts colleges, where the University would provide some central service that can be used by all As far as developing a completely new campus that would be strictly at Cornell, this is a little difficult for me to say at the present time Straight Scoop The Department of University Unions announces the following event: DR. ROBERTS MORISON Named to New Chair Dr. Morison, who is leaving his post as director of the Division of Biological Sciences at the end of this academic year, will assume the professorship on July 1 as a member of the University's new Program on Science, Technology and Society. The Program focuses on the relationship between science, technology and public policy, including defense policy, world food supplies, ecology, population growth and increased urbanization. The Schwartz chair was established by the University's Board of Trustees with gifts from Richard J Schwartz, a member of the Cornell Class of 1960 and president of Jonathan Logan Inc.. one of the nation's largest apparel manufacturers. An active Cornell alumnus. Schwartz established the Jonathan Logan Scholarships at Cornell in 1965. has been a member of the Cornell Fund Policy Board of Metropolitan New York and is a member of the Cornell University Council The Council is an alumni group involved particularly in the fields of student recruiting, fund-raising and public relations. Dr Morison was appointed the first director of Cornells Division of Biological Sciences in 1964 He headed a committee named in the fall of 1963 to review teaching and research in biology at Cornell. The recommendations of the Morison Committee led to the reorganization of basic biology at Cornell. In 1968-69. he headed the University's President's Commission on Student Involvement in Decision-Making. this growth reached the point Genesis II. film, February where some daring innovation may be in prospect?

He does not have the power to hold adversary proceedings or to make judgments. If the parties wish him to. as they have in two or three cases, he can be a factfinder making recommendations. Thus the job is mainly one of factfinding, advocacy when the complainant needs an advocate, and negotiation with the authorities to work out an equitable adjustment of a complaint or dispute. In addition the Ombudsman has the power to undertake investigations at his own initiative. The office has from which such a person might be selected to handle a dispute, with the understanding that the parties would in advance agree as to the role the Ombudsman is to play and the powers he will exercise.

Sage Notes Some graduate students are registering for courses and taking the option of SU grades assuming that this means that they have to do less work in the course. A registration under an S-U option still means the course is for credit and not for audit, and consequently the work involved should be expected to be the same as for a letter grade registration. A student should also realize that in taking an SU option, he is reducing his chances of winning a fellowship. The amount your chances for a fellowship are reduced is hard to say. but a grade of S is seldom regarded as an A by a fellowship review board. Urban Body Continued from Page 1 chairman. The Committee to Review Urban Studies tentatively is scheduled to make preliminary recommendations next month and to come up with final recommendations for the fall of 1970 sometime in April. As a first step in reviewing urban studies at the University, a letter and questionnaire has been sent to more than 100 faculty identified by committee members as having concerns in urban studies The letter asked for detailed information on their interests in teaching, research, field work and service. Five sub-committees have been established to gather and review information on urban studies programs at other institutions and to develop recommendations for expanded and new efforts by Cornell in urban affairs programs The sub-committees and their chairmen are: Committee on Teaching Programs, Edward S. Flash Jr., associate professor of business and public administration; Committee on Field Work, Paul R Eberts. assistant professor of rural sociology: Committee on New York City Programs, Dalton C Jones, research associate and lecturer in black studies and psychology; Committee »n Service Programs, Christopher Lindley, senior industrial and labor relations extension associate; Committee on Research. George M von Furstenberg, assistant professor of economics. Committee staff members are Robert L. Mann. assistant director of the Office of Regional Resources and Development, and Miss Yvette Bradford, assistant to Carter. Carter said the committee openly seeks suggestions, information and other evidences of interest by the Cornell community in urban studies. Individuals should feel free to communicate directly with the chairmen of the sub-committees relevant to their interests. 8 CORNELL CHRONICLE Calendar February 19-25 Thursday, February 19 4 30 p.m. Lecture "The Relationship between Philosophy and Literature in 18th Century France."
