President Dale R. Corson announced the resignation of David Kaser as director of University Libraries and then fielded questions on a number of topics from kiosks to operating deficits. (For Kaser story, see Page 3). In response to questions. Corson announced the University's receipt of some $20 million in gifts thus far this year, up $7 million from last year for the same period. Income from these gifts and from the sale of the Cornell However, he added, a hypothetical gift equalling the current $300,000 anticipated deficit would not necessarily put Cornell in the black. He explained the deficit figure is an estimate based on other factors besides income, including savings on Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) contributed to reducing the University's anticipated operating deficit to $300,000 from $1.1 million. University Dining Services anticipates a deficit of between $150,000 and $200,000 for the current year despite attempts to achieve a balanced budget, according to William D. Gurowitz, vice president for campus affairs Gurowitz blamed rising food costs. Gurowitz also endorsed the construction of additional kiosks and bulletin boards on campus The recommendation was made to Corson by an ad hoc study' committee chaired by Gurowitz. Representatives of the Teamsters Union, Cornell and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) met Tuesday to schedule a union election for Cornell's dining workers, according to Vice Provost Robert F. Risley. Several hundred thousand dollars in increased income from gifts and the sale of CAL helped reduce Cornells 1972-73 projected operating deficit, Corson said. expenditures He also said unanticipated income is not necessarily used to reduce the deficit, but might be applied toward a number of projects held in abeyance pending funding. He cited, as examples of the backlog, neglect of building maintenance for Myron Taylor. Sibley and Rockefeller Halls, among others. Commenting later. Richard M. Ramin. vice president for public affairs, said gifts and other sources figuring into the reduced deficit included income from the receipt of the $7 million Anthony 0. Baldridge estate, from a $2 7 million anonymous gift and from cash proceeds from the initial sale of Calspan stock, including the special distribution from CAL totaling about $5 million. Cornell will receive investment income of about $400,000 from these sources by the end of the fiscal year. Ramin said Corson expected this year would be "an all time high as far as gifts are concerned." Robert J. Haley, director of development, said Continued on Page 17 At Meeting of Trustees, Cites Cut in Deficit A reduction in the anticipated deficit for Cornell's endowed colleges at Ithaca for the current fiscal year was reported by President Dale R. Corson at a meeting of the University Board of Trustees March 1 7 in Ithaca. The deficit for the 1972-73 fiscal year for the endowed colleges at Ithaca has been reduced to $316,000 from the $402,000 estimated in January. The overall University deficit is now estimated at $303,000. down from the $601.000 deficit reported in January. The total University budget for 1972-73 is $190.8 million. The budget for the endowed colleges at Ithaca is $105 2 million. Corson cited "increased overhead recoveries on sponsored research at both the Medical College (at New York City) and the Endowed Colleges at Ithaca" as the reason for the improved budget report. He said "if alumni giving, tuitions and investment income each reach their budget goals." the entire deficit, "could perhaps .be overcome" by the end of the fiscal year on June 30 "However, at this time there still are too many uncertainties to permit such a favorable prediction." he warned The 1972-73 fiscal year is the second in a three-year deficit elimination program begun in 1971-72 following a 1970-71 deficit of more than $ 1 8 million The program involves academic program cutbacks totaling 10 per cent from 1971-72 through 1973-74 and reductions in administration and other supporting Continued on Page 11 Trustees Explain To Bridge the Gap Recent Decisions University Board of Trustees Chairman Robert W Purcell announced at a news conference held on campus Saturday. March 17, that the Board had tabled the University Senate's recommendations regarding a change in the Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order (RMPO) because of certain ambiguities in the language. Purcell also said, "Nonsense." to charges of collusion between Ivy League institutions in setting tuition and fees. Thenews conference followed a three-day meeting of the Board held March 15-17 in Ithaca. Trustees Constance E. Cook, Morton Adams, Charles T. Stewart, Austin H. Kiplinger. Jane P. Danowitz, '75. Robert Plan. '73 and Harold 0. Levy, '74. were present and helped to field questions regarding the report of the State Relationships Committee, funding for the planned Biological Sciences complex and increases in University dining prices Purcell said the Trustees found some difficulty with the type of punishment the judicial administrator or the hearing boards could meter out to students found guilty of infractions under the terms of the Student Conduct Code. At present, a guilty party can either pay a fine or "work it off," Purcell said. "The language, as submitted, was susceptible, at least, to the interpretation that the judicial administrator could impose a penalty requiring a certain number of hours of work to be done." Purcell explained, "or else the student not complying with the decision of the judicial authorities would presumably be suspended "It was felt that having a rule that was subject to the interpretation was getting close to what you might call involuntary servitude.' which we didn't think the Senate intended," he said Purcell went on to say that the rules had to be filed with the New York State Education Department in Albany He indicated that the board was hesitant to send on any rule which was subject to that possible interpretation before the Senate had a chance to clarify the language. "I want to make it very clear that we just put that off for a month," Purcell said "We didn't overrule the Senate." Questioned as to whether Cornell was guilty of collusion with other universities in setting tuition fees. Purcell called the accusation "nonsense." He said that every institution selected its own 'particular Gerard M.

In breaking my own silence on the subject. I would like to address my remarks particularly to the antiabortion letter (Chronicle. March 8) by Robert Natelson I was born a cynic and no doubt shall die one. which probably explains the skepticism I feel whenever I encounter pious defend. As for Natelson's "most critical point of all" -that almost no child in America today need remain unwanted for long because of the demand for adoptive children, his naivete is glaringly evident. It was not necessary for him to confess that he is not a woman. It is obvious enough. It is also obvious that he is not even married, much less the father of a family.

Edelman said. He said some $200,000, or about 20 per cent of the purchasing budget, is from special endowments and gifts and is earmarked for specific purch.t "We have now reached the point," Edelman said, "where the combination of budget cutbacks, inflation and increased academic demands for publications will begin to create serious gaps in Cornell's research library collections." He pointed out that the current purchasing budget is equal in dollars to the libraries' 1968-69 budget but in real purchasing power, when inflation and devaluation are taken into consideration, it is about a 25 per cent cut from five years ago. For example. 195,000 books and periodicals were added in 1968-69. This year it is estimated that 140,000 volumes will be added. These economic facts alone, however, Edelman said, do not reflect the true impact of the situation on the quality of the University's collections. In addition to the decrease in purchasing power there has been a steady increase in the need for total numbers of publications, he said. To date the collection has not suffered irreparably in quality, he said, because a number of steps including cutting down on unessential duplication of purchases and purchases of old books have been taken. "These options are no longer open to us," he said, adding that "we've cut all the corners we can BRRRRRf — No. this isn't what's meant by a "freeze " Since the budget for the fiscal year has already been committed, no additional books can be ordered without affecting the overall quality of the collection." "Thanks to a three-year grant from the Mellon Foundation last fall, which pumped about $66,000 extra into the current budget, we were able to keep our heads above water this year." For 1973-74, he said, the libraries face an additional $ 15,000 cut in purchasing appropriation from the University on top of the inevitable increase in demand and need for more purchases Committee Appointed To Seek Ombudsman University President Dale R. Corson has appointed Walter F LaFeber, the Marie Underhill Noll Professor of American History at Cornell, as chairman of the Ombudsman Search Committee. Byron Yaffe, present University Ombudsman and assistant professor of industrial and labor relations, recently announced that he will be turning his full attention to his academic responsibilities after completion of a two-year term as ombudsman this June. The search committee will recommend a list of candidates to Corson for nomination of an ombudsman; the University Senate will then vote on Corson's nominee for approval, according to LaFeber. Other search committee members appointed by Corson are Ruth W. Darling, associate dean of students; Donald Barr, chairman of academic services, and Laverne A. Rolle, a junior at Cornell from New York City. The University Senate Committee on Committees has nominated three prospective representatives to the search committee to be voted on for approval at the next meeting of the Senate. "The Search Committee will be particularly interested in considering candidates who are members of the University faculty, preferably tenured, and who have at least a familiarity with the concepts of due process, established grievance procedures and the civil liberties law," LaFeber said. Persons interested in the position of University ombudsman should • send a letter outlining their credentials to LaFeber, Department of History, McGraw Hall no later than Thursday, April 5.

March 29, 1973 CORNELL CHRONICLE 9 gical Sciences AOJtlCUlTUftAl MSIARCH buses now used to get to classes at remote locations and the use of buses or private cars between the Campus and the airport area. It is not contemplated that there will be an increase in the number of students, faculty, or non-academic staff, simply as a result of the proposed facilities. If the number of students, undergraduate or graduate, in the biological sciences increases, or if the size of the faculty and support staff increases, it will be because of societal demands rather than because an efficient and conveniently located facility has been provided. The problems of automobile parking are always with us. The University is committed to continuing implementation of the policies expressed by the Trustees in the statement "Comprehensive Policies for the Physical Planning and Design of the Ithaca Campus of Cornell University" (Board of Trustees. May 25. 1972. p. 8102). Those policies state, in part: "Despite the centrifugal forces generated by a growing institution, Cornell clings to the concept of the campus as a pedestrian enclave This looks toward the reduction of vehicular traffic in the central part of the campus and the further development of pedestrian walks and malls. Compatible with the requirements of safety and of servicing buildings, the planned system of circumferential roads and peripheral parking facilities should be extended " While the site seems to be, and is. close to the physical center of the Campus, it is accessible from a proposed major link in the peripheral road system — a link that will continue Campus Rqad to the east past Teagle and Lynah, over Kite Hill to connect' eventually to the new entrance to the University from Rte 366 near the Multicategorical Research Building of the Veterinary College Vehicular access to the Biological Sciences area will be from this road, between Teagle and Lynah. It is proposed to develop automobile parking on the unbuilt upon portion of the site The initial parking capacity, after the erection of the first phase building or buildings, will probably be about 180 cars. Through the years, as additional buildings are built in accordance with the master plan, the on-site parking capacity will undoubtedly be reduced As this happens it is expected that losses will be off-set by new peripheral parking lots or structures. It should be recognized that any parking provided on Lower Alumni Field can have a dual purpose In the evening, it "can serve functions in Barton Hall. Lynah Rink and Bailey Hall. In general, the site is bounded by the necessary utilities. An exception is chilled water for air conditioning. Chilled water wiH be provided from a new plant now in design near the Heating Plant. A major new line will be located adjacent to the site. The sanitary sewer main adjacent to the site will have to be increased in capacity. It is planned to do this at the same time as the chilled water line is put down in order to minimize inconveniences due to necessary trenching. Some other present utility installations will have to, be increased in capacity and some lines running across the site will have to be relocated. There is nothing serious or unusual in this situation, however. There will be some solid non-sewage wastes created that must be disposed of. A small amount of such wastes will be pathogenic and must be incinerated either on site or elsewhere The best way to solve the disposal problem is now under study One major utilities problem must be mentioned, although it is not a problem created by the proposed Biological Sciences group alone The electric power for most of the endowed part of the Campus comes through the sub-station on Kite Hill. The installation of the lighting on Schoellkopf Field during the summer of 1973 will bring the power demand to the capacity of that sub-station The next building project of any size, whether the first phase of Biological Sciences or another project will make it necessary to expand the capacity of the Kite Hill sub-station. When this is necessary, it would be wise to double the number of circuits so as to provide for future capacity. The cost of this is roughly estimated at between $300,000 and $500,000. Architectural studies looking toward the replacement of the oldest buildings on the Agriculture campus (Roberts, Stone, Comstock. Caldwell) are just getting underway by architects commissioned by the New York State Construction Fund, acting for the State University of New York. It is fortunate that the planning for this area, directly across Tower Road from the Biological Sciences site, will be going on at the same time as the master planning for Biological Sciences. The architects for both projects have been instructed to cooperate with the view of developing designs that are compatible and complementary. Operating Costs For a building devoted largely to biological research, as the first component of the complex will be, it is necessary to allow about $2 per GSF for utilities and other costs of operation and maintenance. This would be an annual cost of $280,000. It is 'e CORNELL UNIVERSITY : LAND USE PLAN Present Space Use - Division of Biological Sciences Net Assignable Sq.ft. ' BUILDING I) Langmuir Complex 2 .

The committee also pointed out that the statutory colleges have a relationship and responsibility to the State University as well as to Cornell and, as state financed institutions, special relationships with state agencies, including the Division of Budget and the Department of Audit and Control. The report discussed the problems which arise in administering the statutory colleges as a result of the need to meet special state reporting and policy requirements The report further dealt with the need to seek, in cooperation with the State University, ways of developing more common administrative personnel policy and procedures for all colleges within Cornell The report stated that the committee saw a basic similarity in the legislated missions of Cornell, as the landgrant institution, and the State University: the responsibility to serve the educational, research and public service needs of the people of the state. The committee concluded that the state's needs in higher education were great enough to demand cooperation, not competition, between the two institutions The committee specifically recommended: 1. Reexamination of Cornell's role as the land-grant institution of New York State 2. Reassessment of the missions of the statutory colleges as special but integral parts of both Cornell and the State University 3. Meetings between the President of Cornell and the Chancellor of the State University, as well as between other officials of both institutions. 4 Public assertion of Cornell's modern land grant mission, once it is determined 5 Use of the concepts behind the statement of mission to guide future operational decisions. 6 Increased involvement of the Board and the central administration in policy determinations for the statutory colleges. 7. Development of a University-wide system of administrative operating policies and procedures. In addition to the above recommendations regarding Board policy, the committee offered several advisory recommendations to the administration as means for implementing the policies. These included informational meetings on broad policy questions between the committee and representatives of the State University Board, drafting of a unified long-range master plan for the statutory colleges to be included in the master plans of both Cornell and the State University, formation of a faculty committee to study the land grant role and the establishment of an internal University rewards structure to recognize noteworthy accomplishments in support of Cornell's land grant role. The committee chairman. Trustee Morton Adams of Rochester, president of the State Agricultural Society, expressed to the Board the committee's appreciation of the interest and support it has had from President Dale R Corson. He cited Corson's "considerable involvement ... in state relations matters and the personnel assignments he has made in this area." including the designation of Vice Provost Robert F. Risley and Thomas L. Tobin. director of University relations, to serve as liasons between Cornell and the State University. Adams further reported that Corson has already had initial discussions with State University Chancellor Ernest L Boyer concerning some of the committee's recommendations Corson and Boyer have agreed to take steps to provide methods of improved communications and consultations between the two University administrative staffs regarding problems of mutual concern. Members of the State Relationships Committee with Adams are: Urie Bronfenbrenner of Ithaca, professor of human development and family studies at Cornell: Richard I Fncke. chairman of the board of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York: H Victor Grohmann. president of Needham and Grohmann. Inc of New York City: Joseph P. King, administrator of the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority in Rochester: E Howard Molisani of New York City, manager-secretary of Local 48. International Ladies Garment Workers Union: Samuel R Pierce Jr of Washington. DC.. general counsel of the U.S. Treasury Department: Jacob Scheinkman of New York City, vice president and general counsel of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America: Bruce W Widger of Marcellus. representative of the New York State Grange, and, ex officio. Corson and Robert W Purcell, chairman of the Board of Trustees (The complete text of the committee's report follows.) Text of the Report Our committee asked for the opportunity to make this report because we became convinced of the seriousness of the uneasy relationships between (1) Cornell and the State University of New York (SUNY). (2) between Cornell and the Division of the New York State Budget, and of equal importance, (3) the difficulties being generated by administering the endowed colleges and the statutory colleges under present rules, regulations, and policies. We believe that the basic question underlying these concerns centers on whether Cornell University, as the land grant institution of New York State, or the State University, should administer the statutory colleges at Cornell. I can understand why you might well react to this statement by thinking our committee's study of state related problems over the past six months had excited us beyond the point which facts would support Originally we had that same reservation. Therefore, we decided to ask a knowledgeable group of University administrators three questions. 1. What are the most critical problems faced by the statutory colleges in terms of their relationships with SUNY and other state agencies? 2. What are the critical problems for the statutory colleges in their relationships with the rest of Cornell University? 3. What is needed to solve these problems? The men who responded are the individual administrators most concerned with the statutory colleges and with Cornell's relationships with the state They were: Controller Peterson, faculty Trustee Bronfenbrenner, Deans McKersie, Poppensiek, Kennedy, Cooke and Knapp, Counsel Stamp. Vice Provost Risley. Provost Plane. Professor Palm, and Director of Finance Comber At this point I wish to acknowledge the aid which President Corson gave to our committee activities by his personal interest and his delegation of Tom Tobin to assist with the work, interviewing and writing Tom's interest, willingness to study, and enthusiasm, have been our greatest assets The results of these interviews substantiate our committee's conclusions. We have, as a result, developed this report and a series of recommendations which, if accepted by the Board and administration, could be the foundation for a plan leading to eventual correction of the majority of Cornell's state relations problems A SUMMARY OF STATE RELATIONS PROBLEMS In discussing the relationships between the statutory colleges, the University and SUNY with the College deans and involved administrators, one would expect a degree of variance in opinions This was not the case There was a marked consensus on a number of major points: (1) Unless Cornell reasserts its administrative control of the statutory colleges, they could become integral parts of SUNY. Opinions varied on how long it would take before a split-off of the Colleges might occur but most agreed that Cornell-SUNY relationships are now at a critical stage (2) Separation of the Colleges from Cornell would drastically alter the institutional character and programs of Cornell and seriously weaken both the statutory and endowed units. (3) Through joint control of budgets SUNY, the Division of the Budget, and the State Department of Audit and Control at present in effect exercise administrative control of the statutory colleges. This is done in spite of the fact that the legislative statutes which established the Colleges stipulate that their administration resides with Cornell. (4) On budgetary matters, neither SUNY nor the other state agencies have been willing to provide adequate support for the organized research and extension activities of the statutory colleges. Yet these functions, mandated by the state, distinguish them from other SUNY units Through formula budgeting and other administrative procedures, developed for SUNY, the Division of the Budget is forcing the statutory colleges more and more into a pattern of all other SUNY units. Of particular recent significance is the failure to include the statutory colleges in a meaningful way in the SUNY fiveyear master plan (The Cornell master plan and the Cranch report similarly avoided mention of the statutory parts of the University.) (5) Because of their relationship with SUNY, administrative procedures developed for the statutory colleges differ in many ways from those used by the endowed units and the central administration of Cornell. As a result, two nearly distinct operational systems are in effect. Lack of compatibility between the systems introduces many obstacles to effective intercollege cooperation In this area there is considerable dissatisfaction on all sides with the current accessory instruction payment system There are many differences in personnel policy and procedures between the statutory and endowed units Concern was expressed by several that the procedures followed in granting salary increases for the statutory academic and professional employees is a threat to their status as Cornell employees. Bedause of these problems, it is our conclusion that serious consideration and attention should be given to several aspects of the relationships between Cornell and the State University of New York. The first relationship is that between Cornell, as the land grant institution of New York State, and SUNY. as the State University. The legislated mission of the two institutions give each the responsibility to serve the educational, research and public service needs of the people of the state. We do not believe that this basic similarity of mission must lead to competition between Cornell and SUNY. In fact, we hold the opposite opinion. The needs of the state in higher education are so great that we believe cooperation between the two is essential and therefore we urge careful examination of the relationship between Cornell and the State University to insure maximum coordination between the two For this reason, several of our recommendations are directed toward promoting' understanding and cooperation between Cornell and SUNY Our second basic concern is with the relationships which center on Cornell's administration of the statutory colleges The colleges are units of both Cornell and SUNY The mandated mission of the colleges make them distinct from other SUNY units and, to a degree, from the endowed units at Cornell. Because of their distinct and dual roles, the colleges at present do not seem to fit comfortably into either Cornell or SUNY And yet. to achieve maximum effectiveness, they must work well within both systems For this reason, we have developed a number of recommendations intended to clarify the interconnected relationships between the statutory colleges. Cornell and SUNY The first group of recommendations are those which involve establishment of University policy by the Board of Trustees The remaining recommendations are offered to the administration as suggested means for implementing the policies. Our recommendations regarding Board policy are as follows: 1 We recommend that the University reexamine its fundamental role as the land grant institution of New York State with particular emphasis being given to the benefits and responsibilities derived to Cornell as the land grant institution. This reexamination should articulate the distinct character of Cornell as a single institution of higher education that is both private and public in character and mission. It should include an accounting of the stewardship of the University and the statutory colleges in terms of their contributions to the people of New York State. 2. We recommend that the missions of the statutory colleges at Cornell, as special but integral parts of the University and the State University of New York, be included in this reassessment. Thursday, March 29, 1973 CORNELL CHRONICLE 11 of Cornell's Land Grant Status 3. Because the reexamination of Cornell's land grant role and the missions of the statutory colleges should be developed with the full understanding of SUNY, we recommend that the President of Cornell and the Chancellor of SU NY discuss the broad implications of this reexamination and then initiate a series of meetings at the earliest possible time between key operating officials of both institutions.

The State Univers.tfy of New York (SUNY) cut $20,000 in extension and research budgets affecting the New York State College of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR). Corson noted, however, that the State University had made substantial cuts in all the budgets proposed to them by Cornell. The State University cuts were made in extension and research, Corson said, rather than in instruction. Because Cornell is mandated by law to provide these functions in its charter as a land-grant institution, the cuts affect Cornell in particular. "The charter of the University specifies that our colleges have these responsibilities and this is the part of our mandate that is apparently not being taken account of." Corson said Corson stated Cornell's statutory college budget "has to be exactly equal to what is provided by the Legislature, with the exception of 'college funds'" from research or other income "There is nobody to pass it (the cuts) Cut in Deficit Cited Continued from Page 7 programs totaling 1 5 per cent, also over that three-year period. At this January meeting the Cornell Board adopted a balanced 1973-74 budget totaling $198 5 million for all units of the University. did not believe Cornell's static ;nnent danger" of coming under direct State : sity administration. "The fundamental trouble is built right into the laws and has to do with the way these colleges are operated," he said, citing the charter of the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences as an example "We have two bodies (the University's Board of Trustees and the State University trustees) that are charged with more or less the same responsibilities." Budget troubles prevailed in dining services as well. Rising food costs will force a dining deficit again this year, Corson said. The anticipated $150,000 to $200,000 deficit is comparable with last year's loss of $ 190,000, Gurowitz stated. No plans exist at present, Corson said, to bring in outside dining contractors, although he recalled that contractors were brought in twice in the past 10 years, both times making bids in excess of then existing University food prices. Concerning the kiosk controversy on campus, which began before spring vacation with damage to a bulletin board near Risley Residential College. Gurowitz read four recommendations developed by an ad hoc committee to study the problem at Corson's request. The committee recommended an already-fabricated kiosk be installed in the plaza between Lincoln and Goldwin Smith halls and that plantings be placed in the area It also recommended additional bulletin boards and kiosks be placed around the entire campus in suitable areas with heavy pedestrian traffic, but that they not create any new paved areas. g of ed a 'good' thi a 'bad' thii Asked al sition on the upcoming election to unionize its dining workers. Corson read a 1970 Board of Trustees policy statement, which said, in part, "the University will promote and protect the right of its employes to exercise their freedom of choice between joining or not joining an organized bargaining group." Risley said the University's approach to the upcoming dining election would be consistent with the Trustee statement "and would seek to be sure the employes understand the issues and to hope there is maximum participation in the election and that the decision that is arrived is fairly representative of what the employes want." A meeting to schedule the dining election occurred Tuesday with representatives of the union. Cornell and the NLRB. Risley said. A reporter asked whether Corson felt the problems of higher education were more "spiritual" or "moral" as opposed to financial The President disclaimed any expertise on spiritual matters. "I think." he said, "that we have weathered the immediate financial storm in better shape than we might have had any right to hope for three years ago. On the other hand, we've done it with some harsh measures. We've cut programs ... we have to stop that. On the other hand, inflation is still with us. costs are going up. We're a long way from being out of the woods and it will take cooperation, forebearance, faith, confidence, hope and hard work more than anything else over the next half dozen years. I'm sure." 12 CORNELLCHRONICLE Thursday, March29,1973 By Nat'l Book Committee Kammen Book Chosen Ammons Nominated for Award For 33 Translations For the second straight year a book by poet A.R. Ammons. professor of English at Cornell, has been nominated for a National Book Award, the book world's equivalent of the movie Oscar The National Book committee nominated his book, "Collected Poems: 1951-1971." published last year by Norton as an entrant in the poetry category. In all. 109 books were nominated in 10 categories. The winners will be named April 10 and their authors will receive $1.000 cash awards. Last year, Ammons' book "Briefings: Poems Small and Easy." was nominated in the poetry category. A member of the Cornell faculty since 1964, Ammons has earned an international reputation since the publication of his first book of poems in 1955. His more recent books, "Uplands" and "Briefings." have received wide critical acclaim. His other books include '' 0 m m ate u m ,'' 1955. "Expressions of Sea Level," 1964. "Corson's Inlet." 1965, "Tape for the Turn of the Year," 1965. "Northfield Poems," 1966. and "Selected Poems." 1968 Ammons was born near Whiteville, N.C., in 1926 and was graduated from Wake Forest College with a bachelor's degree in 1949. He served with the navy in the South Pacific during World War II. Before joining Cornell's faculty, he had a varied career as a real estate salesman. magazine editor, business executive and elementary school principal. He was executive vice president of Friedrich & Dimmock. Inc.. a glass manufacturing firm, from 1952 through 1962 Ammons is married to the former Phyllis Plumbo of Atlantic City, N.J. They have a son, John Randolph. 6. and live at 606 Hanshaw Rd. A book by Cornell University historian Michael Kammen has been selected by the U.S. Information Agency (USIA) for adaptation and translation into 33 languages. The book. "People of Paradox." published last year by With NASA Scientist Sagan Co-edits Book on UFO's There has been wonder, hope. fear, even hysteria about them. Now. a new book presents a cogent debate about UFO's. a subject that only a few years ago was a scorned embarrassment to most of the scientific community. "UFO's — A Scientific Debate." released by the Cornell University Press, is a collection of 15 papers prepared for a general symposium on unidentified flying objects (UFO's) which was held at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston on December 26 and 27. 1969. Editors Carl Sagan and Thornton Page, who organized the AAAS symposium, offer readers the views of astronomers, physicists, meteorologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists and the science editor of The New York Times. There are 15 conclusions about UFO's drawn in the text — one for each contributor. Despite the debate, the editors prove conclusively that the application of scientific thinking to problems of general interest not only enhances public knowledge, but opens valuable lines of communication between scientists and the rest of society. Sagan. professor of astronomy and director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell, has served on more than a dozen government scientific advisory groups dealing with space biology. He was a member of the US. Air Force Committee to Review Project Blue Book, the voluminous military record of reported UFO sightings. Page is an astrophysicist with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston and the Naval Research Laboratory. He was previously the Fisk Professor of Astronomy at Wesleyan University. The book is at once painstakingly technical — giving precise radar data for reported UFO sightings by air force pilots — and, by the nature of its subject matter, highly sensational. Among the facts to surface in the 300-page book is Page's Law, which states that the wave of UFO concern moves eastward around the world, completing one full circuit in about 17 years Several contributions offered lengthy lists of items which were first called UFO's,'but later identified While these cases of mistaken identity sully the evidence for extraterrestrial visitations, the record is replete with well-documented UFO sightings made by reliable witnesses. The alphabet soup of interstellar travel vocubulary — UFO, ETI, IFO. EFO. AFO, UBO — still holds many mysteries Alfred A. Knopf, has received wide critical acclaim and was selected by The New York Times. The Boston Globe and The National Observer as one of the most distinguished books of 1972. According to a statement by the USIA. "The Agency has felt for some time that there are certain very important books to which foreign audiences significant to us do not have access because of the high professional level at which they are written People of Paradox. An Inquiry Concerning the Origins of American Civilization', by Michael Kammen. is one such book. We feel that the information contained in this book is of great value to our overseas program, and we would like to see the audiences for it expanded in the newly developing areas of the world " The proposed adaptation is intended for professional, academic and middle level government personnel and community leaders "who, although intelligent and concerned, lack the specialized knowledge or vocabulary to appreciate the original version ' Kammen is an authority on American history and the history of European colonization in the New World. He joined the Cornell faculty in 1965. Konvitz Directs Liberian Codification Project The first volume of a revised code of laws for Liberia, the only African nation to pattern its legal system after the United States, was published in February by the Cornell University Press. The complete, revised code will be published in six volumes within the next three years. The new code is the culmination of the Liberian Codification Project started at Cornell in 1952 as part of the U.S. Point Four Program The project is believed the oldest American technical assistance program in existence. Milton R. Konvitz, professor of law and industrial and labor relations at Cornell, has directed the project since its inception Funded initially by the U.S. government, the project has been financed entirely by the Liberian government since 1955. The six-volume set. titled "Liberian Code of Laws Revised." will be the second code prepared by the project. The first was the "Liberian Code of Laws of 1956." That four-volume set was a codification of all the statutes of the Republic of Liberia enacted from its founding in 1847 as the first free black republic in Africa. A fifth volume was published as "Cumulative Supplement" in 1960 by the Cornell University Press. In addition to the two codes of law. the project's staff also has compiled 19 volumes of "Liberian Law Reports." which consist of cases adjudged in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia. Volume 20. now being edited, will see the publication of Liberian Supreme Court opinions through October, 1971. All volumes of laws and decisions compiled Milton R. Konvitz by the project to date have been published by the Cornell University Press. Work on the project is done on the Ithaca campus of Cornell and also in quarters at 7 East 43rd St. in New York City, the Metropolitan Office of the New York State-School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) at Cornell. Konvitz is on the faculties of both Cornell's ILR School and Law School Working on the codification in the New York City office are three attorneys: Mrs. Margaret Rosenweig. director of research, and Milton Koss and Robert Chasen, research associates. Stenographer and secretary for the project is Mrs. Maxine Henry who works for Konvitz in Ithaca The need for a revised code of laws was understood by the Liberian government from the start of the project, according to Konvitz He points out in his introduction to volume one of the revised cpde that "Liberia, under the leadership of President William VS. Tubman. had committed itself to a program of economic and social development, and so we knew that the legal order of the country would need to be radically and rapidly changed if the law was not to retard and distort Liberia's development... "The established order reflected a simpler social order when there were practically no automobiles or trucks, no roads through the hinterland, no industries, few schools, no university, no Liberian born doctors or pharmacists, no seaport and no airport." Konvitz consulted on the project with President Tubman and President Tolbert, who was vice president at the time of Konvitz's visits to Liberia in 1952. 1959 and 1962. Liberian government leaders and legal representatives have met with Konvitz and his staff on a number of occasions in Ithaca and in New York City. These include conferences with James A.A. Pierre, former Liberian attorney general and Supreme Court Justice and now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia and Clarence L. Simpson. Minister of Justice. The government of Liberia on three occasions has honored Konvitz for his work. In 1957 he was made Commander of the Order of the Star of Africa: in 1960 he was awarded The Grand Band, the highest award given a non-Liberian. and in 1962 he was awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Civil Law by the University of Liberia. An important aspect of the project has been the training of personnel for all phases of the judicial and legislative system of Liberia. In attempting to fill this need, a legislative drafting bureau has been attached to the Liberian Legislature, with its personnel trained at Cornell. The project has also worked to improve the administration of the courts by training court administrators. Bulletin of the Faculty Deadline Extended The deaoline for sugestions for candidates (non-FCR members) for membership on standing Faculty committees has been extended from Wednesday.
