Trustees endorse plan

for underground library

Construction of an underground specialcollections library in the central campus won preliminary endorsement from Cornell's Board of Trustees on May 27.
The board approved the site, between Stimson and Goldwin Smith halls on the southeast edge of the Arts Quadrangle, and gave the go-ahead for development of plans for a 120,000-gross-square-foot building that would be entirely underground.
Construction would begin in the summer of 1990, with some preliminary site work and relocation of utility lines possibly being done this summer.
In other action, the board: • Approved, as expected, 1989-90 financial plans that will raise tuition 6.9 percent at the privately supported colleges and 7.1 percent (for New York residents) at the state-supported colleges.
• Elected Patricia Carry Stewart and Paul R. Tregurtha to a one-year term, from July 1. as co-vice chairpersons. They will succeed Stephen H. Weiss, who is becoming board chairman with Austin H. Kiplinger's retirement after 29 years on the board, five of them as chairman.
• Reelected Alison P. Casarett to a third five-year term as dean of the Graduate School, after she was cited by President Frank H.T. Rhodes as "a dedicated and highly effective advocate for students and a careful and concerned administrator."
• Heard the Annual Report on the Status of Women and Minorities, presented by Joycelyn R. Hart, associate vice president for human relations. It reported a 1988-89 increase in women students and faculty, a

slight overall increase in minority-group undergraduates (but with a small decline for blacks), a larger increase in minority-group graduate and professional students, and increases in minority faculty numbers for all racial categories and all ranks.

President, provost
to focus on Cornell's
long-term needs
Cornell's Board of Trustees on May 27 approved assigning Provost Robert Barker wider responsibilities to allow him and President Frank H.T. Rhodes more time for strategic planning, including the university's long-range capital needs.
As of Sept. 1, Barker will assume the new titles of senior provost and chief operating officer. The university's executive staff will report to him, while he will continue to report to Rhodes.
In a letter to Board Chairman Austin H. Kiplinger, Rhodes listed these strategic issues demanding attention "as Cornell approaches its 125th anniversary": completion of the long-range capital planning process; enrollment and financial aid; an extended curriculum review; the relation of specialized centers to the overall academic program; closer coordination of academic programs and support services; faculty and

Chinese students rally on campus and in New York City

China's military attacks against pro-democracy demonstrators sent hundreds of Cornell's Chinese students to protest at their government's consulate in New York City and to a rally on the campus.
The attacks also prevented some students from returning home.
Telephoning his family in Beijing, one Cornell student heard gunfire in the background. His second call was disconnected after less than a minute.
On the campus, a mute memorial to the dead in Beijing — a wreath of white flowers — was placed anonymously at the entrance to Day Hall on Monday, June 5, after the weekend of bloodshed.
Jerry D. Wilcox, Cornell's director of international students and scholars, said he advised several Chinese students who had completed their studies to remain in the United States until the situation in China clarifies.
"We have students who are packed and ready to go home, and they don't know what to do," Wilcox said. "I told them to stay put and wait."
Wilcox said that the U.S. government may authorize Extended Voluntary Departure rights for Chinese students, enabling them to remain in this country after their visas expire and obtain work permits.
Wilcox had just returned from the annual meeting of the National Association for Foreign Students Affairs in Minneapolis, where university delegates adopted a resolution to "support the special efforts required to keep open the educational, cultural and scientific dialogue fostered by international exchange."
The resolution stated: "In Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, the Soviet Union and dramatically in China in recent days extraordinary movements among students and scholars are changing the expectation of those who may soon lead their nations."

A scholarship fund has been established for Jason Thomas, the 7-year-old son of Daniel E. Thomas, a Cornell Public Safety officer killed in a firearm accident on May 25.
Contributions may be sent to the Daniel E. Thomas Memorial Scholarship Fund, C/O Lt. Randall H. Hausner, Cornell Department of Public Safety, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853. Hausner said the fund will be for the future needs of Jason Thomas.
Thomas, 35, a member of the Cornell Public Safety Department of nine years, died on May 25 when his .38-caliber service revolver fired after his son, who was sitting in the back seat of his van, apparently dropped the firearm, according to a Public Safety investigation. The officer was driving along Pine Tree Road when the accident occurred. He had picked up his son from school and was on his way to Public Safety headquarters following mandatory firearms training.
More than 160 law enforcement and military personnel and also university officials took part in funeral services for Thomas on May 30 at Immaculate Conception Church in downtown Ithaca.
Thomas lived at 337 Ferguson Road, Freeville. He was a 1973 graduate of Candor High School and a 1981 graduate of Tompkins Cortland Community College where he received an associate degree in criminal justice. He served three years in the U.S. Army and joined the Cornell Department of Public Safety in 1980.
In addition to his son, Thomas's survivors include his wife, Monica Cyganovich Thomas of Brooktondale; his parents, George R. and Barabara Slate Thomas of Candor, and three brothers and a sister.

Deep-rooted Cornell family

joins three class reunions

The Way and Greenwalt lines trace their Cornell roots to the family and home of university founder Ezra Cornell. They've provided an unbroken stream of Cornell students for more than a century. Yet, even for them, this year's reunions are something special, as members from three generations will return on Friday, June 9, to attend their 70th, 40th and 10th class reunions.
Hilda Greenwalt Way, Class of 1919, will be here with her daughter Barbara Way Hunter, '49, and grandson James Schoonover, '79, whose mother, Jean Way Schoonover, '41, also will be at reunions.
Although Hunter's daughters — Kimberry, '75, and Victoria, '83 — won't be able to make it, her brother, Walter Way, '48, will, along with his wife, Lee Lynch Way '49.
For the occasion, Hilda Greenwalt Way has assembled an album that includes photos of the 17 Comellians from her family — minus her late husband's uncle, race-horse veterinarian Cassius Way, '09. Included are photos of her late husband, Walter D. Way, '17 (veterinary), and of her father, William E. Greenwalt, 1887 (engineering), leading his 70th reunion parade in 1957.
The album also includes photos of Hilda Greenwalt Way's maternal grandfather, Benjamin Cornell, who, after being orphaned, was raised in the Ithaca home of his uncle, Ezra Cornell. Benjamin was a local physician — living on land later to be known as Sapsucker Woods — and the father of Cora Cornell, who was to many

William E. Greenwalt Noting that the line included her late
sister, Irma, '21, and brother Ken, '20 (and law '27) — both winners of the Woodford Prize for oratory — Hilda Greenwalt Way, who is 92 years old, said:
"I cannot remember a time when Cornell was not in the family. We all knew we were going there."
The choice was easy as well for her children — Jean, Walter and Barbara — who applied to no other college. But as Hilda Greenwalt Way recalls family lore, it was not so easy for her father.
William E. Greenwalt, who grew up in Columbia, Pa., was one of 12 children whose father was a coal mine foreman. The children had little schooling because they had to go to work. But the future Comellian used to steal spare moments to read in a local library, and there he met a Cornell graduate who lent him books, saw his intellectual promise and encouraged him to go to the young university, which Ezra Cornell deliberately held open to the children of poor working people.
William E. Greenwalt wrote to Cornell President Andrew D. White, who responded that he could enter, despite little schooling, if he could pass math and English entrance tests.
He arrived in Ithaca with $8 in his pocket, his daughter relates, got tutoring from some Cornell professors, passed the tests, earned degrees in architecture and engineering, married the daughter of a local physician....
And the rest is (Cornell) history. — Sam Segal

Committee to study alumni communications;

will consider starting universitywide magazine

Alumni Association President Mort Lowenthal and President Frank H.T. Rhodes have established a 10-member committee "to investigate ways in which the University and the Cornell Alumni Association can communicate more effectively and efficiently with our 140,000 alumni around the world," according to a letter sent to committee members.
The group has been asked to make its recommendations by Dec. 31, according to its chairman, Vice President for University Relations John F. Burness.
Committee members have been asked to consider, among other things, the possibility of starting a universitywide magazine for all alumni.
This was the recommendation of an ad hoc committee of the Alumni Association appointed by its governing board in 1988 and chaired by C. Richard Jahn, chairman of the association's Publications Committee.
In describing the need to re-examine publications sent to alumni, Lowenthal and Rhodes wrote, "Although we have many programs and publications to communicate with alumni, there is little coordination and

some alumni may hear from the university only when we seek financial support...
"As the university approaches the 125th anniversary of its founding, we depend more than ever on the active involvement and interest of our alumni."
Currently, the Cornell Alumni News, owned and operated by the Alumni Association, reaches some 35,000 alumni upon payment of class dues. The magazine publishes 10 times a year.
Cornell '89, a tabloid started three years ago by the Office of Alumni Affairs and University Relations, reaches 140,000 alumni and is published twice a year.
In addition to these universitywide publications, each of the colleges and schools produces an alumni publication, principally for its own graduates.
According to Rhodes/Lowenthal letter, none of these publications fulfills all of the goals outlined by the ad hoc committee in its report to the Alumni Association Coordinating Board: to give all alumni an accurate picture of Cornell as it is today; to create awareness of the vitality of Cornell and accomplishments of students, faculty and staff; to create awareness of alumni achieve-

ments and interest in alumni activities; to prompt alumni to support the university and its goals; and to make alumni proud to be Comellians and aware of their voice in university affairs.
Members of the committee are Lynne S. Abel, Class of 1962, associate dean for undergraduate education for the College of Arts and Sciences and editor of the Arts & Sciences Alumni Newsletter, David L. Call, '54, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; Richard Jahn, '53, chair of the Cornell Alumni Association Publications Committee; John A. Kreiger '49, exofficio member of the Cornell Council and past chair of the Cornell Alumni Association Committees on Publications and Alumni Trustee Nominations; Mort Lowenthal, '53, president of the Cornell Alumni Association; Dennis Meredith, senior science editor of the Cornell News Service; Grace Richardson, '62, chair of the Cornell Council Public Relations Committee; Curtis Tarr, dean of the Johnson Graduate School of Management; Dennis Williams, '71, acting associate dean of admissions and financial aid and a former education editor at Newsweek.

Faculty lounge
to be named for
Robert Doherty
The faculty lounge in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations will be named the Robert E. Doherty Lounge in honor of his teaching, scholarship and administration during 28 years on the school's faculty and as dean.
Doherty, who will retire from the faculty on Friday, June 30, joined the JJLR faculty as an associate professor in 1961 and served as acting dean from 1979 to 1980 and as dean from 1985 to 1988.
With gifts from faculty, staff and alumni, the lounge has been refurbished in Room 280 of Ives Hall and will be dedicated during a reception on Friday, June 9, from 5 to 7 p.ra
David Lipsky, who succeeded Doherty as dean, said that friends from the community are invited to the reception and should notify Donna Levengood at 255-6512 if they plan to attend.

Agricultural scholars to discuss China-related research

A new organization designed to develop the exchange of agricultural research information between China and Western nations will hold its first conference here on Friday, June 23, and Saturday, June 24.
About 200 agricultural scholars, including 130 Chinese graduate students studying in the United States, are expected to attend the Chinese Association of Agricultural Students and Scholars conference.
Before pro-democracy demonstrations started in China, several university scholars from that nation made reservations to participate in the conference. But after China's military intervention in Beijing's on June 3, a conference spokesman said that participation from China was uncertain.
The association was founded 18 months ago, with about 400 members in China, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Weeks before demonstrations broke out in China, the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., agreed to be one of the sponsors of the conference, and two of its officials said they would attend: Ni Mengxiong, minister counselor of education, and Yu Zhaoji, first secretary for education.
"China requires close collaboration with American and other Western researchers in order to develop its own agriculture," said Yang Xiangzhong, a Ph.D. candidate in Cornell's Department of Animal Science who earned his bachelor's degree at Beijing Agricultural University.
"We are planning to set up a committee

for research exchange," added Yang, who is the conference chairman. "We want to establish a network of American and Chinese students of my generation to facilitate the flow of research work and information between the United States and China. But now we do not know what will be possible. We will discuss the situation in our homeland at the conference."
Yang said Chinese agricultural scientists now have limited opportunities to keep abreast of research in other countries. "We hope to establish scientific journals in China that will publish research conducted by Chinese students in the United States and other nations," he said.
The conference proceedings, including five full papers and more than 200 abstracts, will be published in English at Cornell and in Chinese in China. Some of the Chinese scholars attending the conference are expected to remain on campus for the second symposium on Genetic Engineering of Animals, sponsored by Cornell's Biotechnology Program, from Sunday, June 25, through Wednesday, June 28, according to Robert H. Foote, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Animal Science.
Foote, who has lectured in China, is a faculty sponsor and an advisor to the conference.
Conference speakers and their topics include:
• C.H. Liu, professor in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing: "Learn to Feed a Billion People."

• Frederick W. Crook, senior economist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture: "Current Problems and Future Development of Chinese Agriculture."
• Maureen R. Hanson, associate professor of plant molecular biology and genetic development at Cornell and director of the university's Plant Science Center: "Biotechnology in Plant Sciences."
• Robert H. Foote, professor of animal physiology at Cornell: "Biotechnology in Animal Science."
• John J. Kopchick, professor of molecular biology at the Edison Biotechnology Center, Ohio University: "Current Status of Genetic Engineering in Biomedical Research."
• Francis C. Tuan, head of the China section, economic research section, U.S. Department of Agriculture: "Government Intervention in China's Agriculture."
• Dudley Poston, a professor of rural sociology at Cornell, on a topic related to his research into population problems in China.
• Dajun Liu, president of Nanjing Agricultural University: "New Challenges Facing Chinese Agriculture and Agricultural Sciences."
• Jilun Li, director of the open laboratory at Beijing Agricultural University: "National Open Laboratory System."
• Xianian Cheng, vice president of Nanjing Agricultural University: "Research and Extension in Plant Protection in China."
• Changxin Wu, chairman of the animal science department at Beijing Agricultural

University: "Resources and Potential of Animal Agriculture in China."
• Di Sun, director of extension and development center at Beijing Agricultural University, "Structure and Function of Agriculture Extension Programs in China."
Also scheduled are five meetings during which Chinese students will discuss animal science, plant science, agricultural engineering and ecology, agricultural economics and social sciences, molecular biology, and biotechnology.
A panel discussion was scheduled with speakers from Nanjing Agricultural University and Beijing Agricultural University and two officials from China's Ministry of Agriculture if they attend.
Funding for the conference has been provided by several Cornell units and the China Education Fund, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Rockefeller Foundation, Agricultural Cooperative Development International, Pioneer Hi-bred International Inc., Smithkline Beckman Corp., the Agricultural Biotechnology Center of the University of Maryland and several individuals.
Cornell's International Agriculture Program and the university's Department of Animal Science provided services in organizing the conference.
Cornell graduate and post-doctoral students who helped organize the conference include Chen Guangjiong, Chen Shulin, John Hu Jinsheng, Lu Junxuan and Zhang Li.

China continuedfrompage 1
On Saturday night, June 3, a few hours after the Chinese People's Liberation Army opened fire on student demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, about 250 Chinese students met on the campus to exchange information from home and plan their reaction.
"On Saturday afternoon, I telephoned my family who live only two intersections from the square, and I could hear shots over the phone," said Sun Jian-long, a Ph.D. candidate in government, specializing in American politics.
"My family seemed to be okay, with no fear in their hearts, but how could the troops fire on our own people?" Sun said. "I called them again on Monday. The situation had turned worse. They seemed not willing to talk, and the call lasted less than a minute."
About 200 Cornell students drove to New York City early on June 4, and joined thousands of other university students who demonstrated in front of the Chinese Consulate and marched across East 42nd street to the United Nations in an effort to deliver a letter to the secretary-general.
"We gave speeches in front of the consulate condemning the present government in China, and we had hoped that someone would come to the door and receive our letter, but the door never opened," said Li Ming-chen, one of the few students in this country from China's remote northwest province of Xinjiang. He earned his master's degree in nutrition at Cornell and now works as a technician in the Division of Nutritional Sciences.
Yang Xiangzhong, a Ph.D. candidate in animal science from Beijing, said the students agreed in New York City to increase their efforts to telephone and write home with reports from U.S. media on what is happening inside China.
"At the beginning of the demonstrations, many of us thought we should return home immediately and join the fight for basic human rights," Yang said. "But now, we can not guarantee our lives if we return."
Several hundred Chinese students rallied in front of Willard Straight Hall at noon on June 6 to denounce the violence in China. Wearing black armbands and carrying placards, they heard a series of speeches from non-Chinese faculty and Chinese students.
Two of the students were in tears as they spoke. One could not finish his prepared remarks. In front of the rostrum was a funeral wreath with the Chinese character for "memorial to the dead." In the rally was a group of American Indians with placards pledging Indian support.
Teresa Mei, a cataloger in Olin Library, said in an interview that her husband tried to reassure her that he was safe when he telephoned from Beijing a few days before the army started gunfire. Her husband, Mei Tsu-lin, a professor of Chinese literature and philosophy, apparently left Beijing for Southwest China before the killings in Tian-

that a 70-year-old Beijing professor who had just undergone a serious colon operation went to the square to support the students," she said. "But when my husband lectured at Beijing University, only about 20 or 30 students attended, because most of their friends were demonstrating in Tian-

Ten students at the Johnson Graduate School of Management are working this summer for Japanese and American companies in Japan in a program designed to improve commercial relations between the two nations.
The students are studying for M.B.A. degrees and speak Japanese. They are combining studies of the Japanese language and East Asian history and culture with their business courses. In Japan, they will work in Japanese-speaking environments.
"In these days of heightened rhetoric about unfair trade practices and cultural stereotyping, we at Cornell are quietly working to educate American managers who will understand how to function effectively in business on both sides of the Pacific," said James Schmotter, associate dean of the Johnson School.
Schmotter, who directs the international program, said that 26 students have graduated from the Japan business intern program since it started in 1984, and that most of them have accepted jobs related to U.S.-Japan business.
Students who are working in Japan this summer and the companies in which they are interns are: James Barton, Bedford Hills, N.Y., at Sony Corp.; Gregory Burr, Westlake Village, Calif., at Chase Manhattan Bank; Paul Daniel, Soquel, Calif., at DSFJapan; William Heishman, Petersburg, Va., at Obayashi Corp.; Robert Iida, Sylmar, Calif., at Chase Manhattan Bank; Alexander Kami, San Francisco, at Citicorp; Joyce Lu, New York City, at Dentsu Advertising; Aric Rindfliesch, Farmington, Conn., at J. Walter Thompson; Ted Uchida, Los Angeles, at Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals Corp.; Bryan Ward, Kaysville, Utah, at Mobil Sekiyu Corp.
During the past academic year, a Japanese business executive lectured on Japan's integrated trading companies in the Japanese language without translation to a class that included 30 American and European students who are studying for a joint M.B.A.-East Asian degree and 30 Japanese students. The school has designed a bilingual business course to be taught in English and Japanese and is seeking funds to star? •*.
Some M.B.A. students participate *n Cornell's FALCON Program, a full year of studying only the Japanese language. The intensive language study was designed by Eleanor Jorden, the Mary Donlon Alger Professor of Linquistics who was decorated by the Showa Emperor for her work.
In Tokyo's Imperial Hotel in October, the Johnson School will conduct its first seminar for graduates working in Asia with a theme dedicated to business in the Pacific Rim.

Rhodes, presidents
of other colleges
appeal to Chinese
President Frank H.T. Rhodes and the presidents of more than a dozen other major universities have sent a letter appealing to China's authorities to stop the violence that has resulted in the deaths of Chinese students.
The letter was sent on June 7 to the chairman of the State Council's State Education Commission in Beijing, and copies were sent to China's ambassador to the United States, to President Bush, to Secretary of State James Baker, to the U.S. ambassador to China and to the presidents of all Chinese universities.
The text of the letter: "As university presidents, we are horrified at the wholesale killing of peacefully demonstrating Chinese students by Chinese soldiers. None of the students' words or actions during the past weeks provided justification for the massacre in Tiananmen Square. The students' appeal for more democratization is surely an aim broadly shared by the Chinese people, and indeed has been echoed by Chinese officials.
"At this time of tragedy for China's community of scholars and for the Chinese people, we express our support with and sympathy for the students, academics, and citizens of Beijing, and for their grieving families.
"We appeal to the authorities in Beijing to cease this violence and to refrain from sending troops into centers of learning which could only result in more bloodshed.
"Our institutions have tried to help in training a new generation of Chinese students and professionals to make up for the terrible losses of the cultural revolution. We have been impressed by their intelligence and dedication, their diligence and patriotism. It would be a new loss to China if they were deterred from returning home to make their contribution to a brighter future for their country."

Chris Hildrtth President Frank H.T. Rhodes speaks to the 5,684 students who graduated from Cornell on May 28. More pictures from commencement on pages 6-7.

Rhodes urges seniors
at commencement to
live with commitment
Ithaca provided a picture-perfect day for commencement on May 28 as President Frank H.T. Rhodes advised some 5,000 degree recipients to vow the equivalent of a Hippocratic oath if they hoped to find happiness in life.
"For unless you also pledge to use what you have learned for fair, just and purposeful living, you will live dispirited and die despondent," Rhodes told the undergraduate and graduate students and their 30,000 fans who packed Schoellkopf Field at Cornell's 121st commencement
From a canopied platform looking across the field toward students and the spectators filling the Crescent behind them, Rhodes also took note of 31 retiring professors who had collectively given 936 years to Cornell and thanked retiring deans, executive officers and trustees, including Austin H. Kiplinger, who, on the eve of his 50th class reunion, was stepping down after five years as Board of Trustees chairman and 29 years as a trustee.
In titling his commencement remarks "Is That All There Is?" Rhodes asked the graduates to think about the value and use of the knowledge they had acquired. While physicians still must take the Hippocratic oath "to lead their lives and practice their art with uprightness and honor," other graduates face no suchrequirement,Rhodes said.
But without such a pledge, he added, "you will always be asking, whether you are back here for your fifth or your 50th reunion, 'Is that all there is?' And you will never find the fulfillment you seek."
Asserting that one's happiness has nothing to do with success, wealth or knowledge, he added:
"Happiness is striving and enduring. It is identifying and defending. It is believing and promoting. It is loving and serving things that are good and lovely and causes that are noble and worthwhile."

Paying the true cost of research and education

Cornell's rise over the last two decades to become one of the nation's great centers of advanced research and education has certainly been a boon for the university, for its students, and for the society it serves. However, this expansion has brought a new set of problems to be solved.
Perhaps the most critical of these is how to ensure that new programs funded by "restricted" gifts, grants, and contracts pay a fair share of institutional costs. Restricted awards are those that require a specific program of research or education to be carried out and usually carry specific requirements for accounting and reporting.
This article will outline how the university hopes to remedy the current situation, in which many projects are not paying a fair share of what are classified as indirect costs. But first some background:
Between 1973-74 and 1987-88, the growth in restricted revenues at Cornell far outpaced unrestricted revenues. Restricted revenues have increased 324 percent, while unrestricted revenues have risen only 215 percent. And unrestricted revenues have been used in part to pay unrecovered indirect costs associated with some restricted expenditures. At present, more than 15 percent of restricted expenditures for research derive from gifts or grant that pay partial or no indirect costs.
Indirect costs are those such as departmental administration, sponsored programs administration, maintenance, utilities, libraries, security, and animal care, which are necessary to support the activities of each department and college. University administration and general service costs constitute 8.7 percent of indirect costs charged to grants.
Federal auditing practices require that all direct expenditures for research be matched at the same rate by indirect cost payments. Gifts and grants that carry no indirect costs must have those paid from unrestricted sources.
The principal sources of unrestricted funds are endowment income, tuition and fees and gifts to the university. To the extent that unrestricted revenues must pay a portion of the indirect costs associated with research, those revenues are unavailable to meet other needs such as library support, operating and maintenance costs, salaries and stipends andrenovationcosts.
Organized research represents the largest segment of sponsored activity generating indirect costs. By our calculations, the shortfall in supporting indirect costs of organized research came to about $9.3 mil-

lion in 1987-88. The university must somehow meet
these obligations, but the question has been how. Unfortunately, there are some serious misconceptions about the nature of indirect costs that add to the heat but shed no light on the debate.
First of all, some believe that "indirect" costs are somehow less concrete or less applicable to their particular research or education efforts. Nothing could be further from the truth.
When any member of the Cornell community drives to his or her lab or office, parks, enters the room, switches on the lights, uses the computer and refers to a library book, he or she is using services and facilities as real as if each had a meter
A message from
Cornell Provost
Robert Barker
attached to it. Simply because such costs cannot be pegged to individual programs does not make them any less real.
Let's take the extreme case, in which a faculty member who needs only a pencil and paper uses few of these services. Even then, the considerable intellectual benefits offered by the university in the form of expert colleagues and their research and education efforts are still not free, but require support and services.
Another misconception is that a particular grant or contract is a windfall that is merely an addition at the margin of an existing enterprise. It is not. The university is required to take those "windfalls" into account in producing the annual budget — estimating how much money the institution can expect as a whole during that year as awards and, thus, how much money will have to be paid for the myriad of services needed to support the research and educational programs that the awards fund. The university has also calculated the indirect costs associated with these activities and estimated the payments that will be made by sponsors. To the extent that payments of average indirect costs is avoided, those costs must be made up from unrestricted revenues.
Therefore, money allocated for indirect costs during a given year pays heating and lighting bills, security costs, administration costs and all other support services as

they are incurred. Also, each year represents a fresh start, in the sense that all activities are considered as equal participants in the accounting system. None of the activities are marginal.
Unfortunately, many awards do not allow for these very real costs. While the federal government pays on average an additional 50 percent of direct costs for indirect costs, and the state an additional 33 percent, many awards pay nothing.
To help alleviate the burden of indirect costs, the university's plan is to begin on July 1, 1990 to assess individual units charges on expenditures from restricted awards that don't include indirect costs. Depending on the circumstances of the award, this charge could represent the full indirect cost normally assessed on federal grants or contracts. Or, it may be a discounted rate, which for general educational programs could be as low as 10 percent
This charge will not be assessed on "unrestricted" awards, those that are general contributions to the university, or on "designated" awards, those meant for the general benefit of a given department.
Importantly, the funds from this charge will be used to pay indirect costs in those units that contributed them. Thus, donors or contractors can be assured that all of the funds they give will, indeed, support the research or education program for which they are intended.
There will be a dry run of the system for the year beginning July 1, 1989, so that we can test the plan and so that faculty, department chairs and deans can preview the impact of the charge and plan for fiscal 1990-91 when the charges will begin. In this dry run, the charges will be shown on the appropriate accounts but not actually deducted.
When this assessment system is in place, an estimated $3.7 million will become available to the units in 1990-91 to pay indirect costs of restricted programs. The budget relief that these revenues will, we hope, help enhance programs, salaries and other core costs.
Assessing costs in this manner is already common at Cornell in distributing the costs of employee benefits. The university averages the cost of employee benefits throughout the university, charging individual departments a standard rate, regardless of their employees' use of benefits. This averaging prevents the drastic swings in departmental costs that might otherwise occur as different employees use such benefits as health insurance and tuition assistance at different

rates. But why not attempt to recover the full
indirect costs of research or educational programs in every case?
First of all, even though the true costs of such activities are much higher, we recognize their value to the vitality of the university and to the excellence of the education it offers. From chemists to historians, the quality of our faculty is clearly enhanced by their research activities. And the quality of education at Cornell is certainly enhanced by the innovative educational programs supported by such awards.
Secondly, some foundations, corporations and individuals have already recognized the importance of indirect costs by allowing some level of standard indirectcost rate. The administration believes that it is only reasonable to encourage others to also recognize the importance of such support
Ironically, although Cornell enjoys a leadership role among the great universities in its research and teaching, it has lagged behind its peers in facing up to this problem. Although their organization and accounting methods are different, many other universities have already begun designating a portion of restricted awards for indirect costs.
They have already recognized that each segment of the university must take fair responsibility for the true cost of its own activities. We must now mount our own efforts to make that concept a reality.

Changes in parking plans under review

In response to suggestions raised on campus about the proposed transportation plan, the initial plan has been revised, according to William D. Gurowitz, vice president for campus affairs.
Comments about the revised plan are still being entertained, and a final decision on a transportation plan for next year has not yet been made, Gurowitz added.
"We received few objections to the structure of the initial plan," he said. "The two main areas of concern were funding and the new parking lot in East Hill Plaza area."
The revised plan still will increase the number of short-term and visitor parking spaces on the central campus, raise the fees charged for parking permits, convert the B Lot from a free to a paid lot and construct a free parking lot in the East Hill Plaza area. (Details were included in the Chronicles of April 6 and 27.)
Under the revised plan being considered now, however, perimeter fees would not increase as much as first proposed and the university will be asked to pay a

greater share of the total transportation costs.
Details of the revised plan: • The B Lot will be maintained as a free lot through December and will become a paid lot in January rather than in September. The new free lot in the East Hill Plaza area will open in September, giving officials four months to prove the new lot's effectiveness before a fee is charged for parking in B Lot Any traffic congestion or other problems connected with the new parking lot will be resolved during those four months, Gurowitz said.
• The fee for a central campus parking permit next year still will be $244, but the fee for perimeter lots will be $150 rather than the previously proposed $164. For lots that are free this year but will become paid lots next year, the annual permit fee will be only $52, rather than the previously suggested $164. The $52 rate will start in January and will therefore mean an outlay of only $26 for the January-to-July period.
• By the 1993-94 academic year, all paid perimeter lots will cost $200 annu-

ally and the central campus fee will be $408. Between 1989-90 and then, the permit fee for perimeter lots will increase 7.5 percent a year. The fee for central campus will increase 15 percent a year through 1992-93 and then by 10 percent for 1993-94.
• The university will add another $100,000 to its subsidy for transportation beginning in 1990-91, and the 2 percent surcharge on construction will provide $1.6 million through 1992-93, some $1 million more than previously estimated.
• Any new roads that may result from the development of a campus master plan will not be the responsibility of the Office of Transportation Services but will be funded from other sources.
In response to a concern that parking fees should be tied to the salary pool increase, Gurowitz pointed out that the first central campus parking fee, levied in 1968-69, was $108. If that fee had increased only 5 percent a year, it would be $287 now, more than the proposed $244 for next year.
Parking fines may go up.

Cinema begins

summer of

classic films

Cornell Cinema has begun its summer schedule of classic films, this year ranging from Katharine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story" to Wim Wenders' recent "Wings of Desire."
Every summer, Cornell Cinema looks back on great works of international cinema. For people who have regretted missing important films by Tarkovsky, Cocteau, Cukor, Fellini and others, this schedule offers opportunities to see them.
Among the highlights of the summer are: • Howard Hawks' "The Big Sleep," with Humphrey Bogart, playing Alumni Weekend, Friday and Saturday, June 9-10. (Hawks was a Cornell student in the '30s.)
• Two films by performer Josephine Baker, "Princess Tam Tarn" and "Zouzou," on Friday and Saturday, July 28 and 29, fresh from an engagement at the Film Forum in New York City.
• John Huston's last film, "The Dead," on Thursday, July 20, preceded by a documentary on its making, "John Huston and the Dubliners."
• A rarely seen but much-heralded "film noir" with Joan Crawford, "Sudden Fear," on Sunday, Jury 9.
• Composer and electronic keyboardist ' David Borden accompanying two classic si! lent films, Buster Keaton's "The Naviga-
tor," on Sunday, July 23, and Ernst Lubitsch's "Lady Windermere's Fan," on Sunday, July 30.
Many of the films on the Cornell Cinema

"The Legend of Suram Fortress," made by Sergei Paradjanov and Dodo .Abachidze in1985in the Soviet Repuiblic of Georgia, will be shown on July 25.

schedule, including Tarkovsky's "Nostalgia" on Tuesday, June 27; Paradjanov's "The Legend of Suram Fortress" on Tuesday, July 25; and "The Festival of Animation" on Friday and Saturday, July 21 and 22, are not available on video.
Even those that are on video deserve to

be seen in the high-quality, 35mm, widescreen and surround-sound facilities that Cornell Cinema has developed in Uris Auditorium, said Richard Herskowitz, Cornell Cinema director. He added that with the parking garage on Campus Road, access to the summer films is easier than before.

Undergraduates
learning to use
supercomputers
Studies of the heat produced during metal-cutting, of the design of low-speedairplane wings or of techniques for threedimensional computer animation are not especially unusual at Cornell's National Supercomputing Facility.
What is, is that these sophisticated efforts are being launched this week, not by faculty or graduate students, but by talented undergraduates in a unique national program to teach them to use supercomputers.
Cornell's Research Experience for Undergraduates program entered its second year on June 5, as 20 young scientists and engineers from 17 universities nationwide began a three-week training session on campus. Participants will learn to use the IBM 3090-600E supercomputers here during the course, which extends through June 30.
In a companion Undergraduate Faculty! Enhancement program June 19 to 30, their faculty advisers will attend sessions on using supercomputing in undergraduate education. The Cornell program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
"We are encouraging the students to take full advantage of the problem-solving capabilities of the supercomputer," said Helen Doerr, the supercomputing facility's manager of education and training. "We've drawn students from around the country and from many science and engineering disciplines this year."
Each faculty adviser and one or two undergraduates worked together to formulate a project proposal. Those chosen are attending the training program, consisting of lectures and demonstrations by staff, guest lecturers and experienced users of the supercomputing facility. Students receive a $2,000 stipend, room and board and a travel allowance.
After they return to their home schools in the fall, the teams will begin to use the supercomputer over national high-speed computer networks to carry out their research. The science and engineering students receive academic credit for the project and prepare final reports on their work.
The program's first year resulted in many successful student research projects, Doerr said.
For example, Steven Wright, a Syracuse University student who participated in the innovative program last year, will present the results of his supercomputer project at the student paper competition during a American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conference in Montreal in April.
Wright's project focused on "The Unsteady Inviscid Row Field Near a Plane Surface due to a Freestream Vortex."
Wright's sponsor, engineering Professor Edward Bogucz of Syracuse University, said that he has expanded his teaching curriculum in response to his participation in the Cornell program.
This spring, Bogucz is sponsoring two independent-study projects and is conducting a special graduate seminar on the uses of supercomputing in research.

Museum displays work by Alison Mason Kingsbury Bishop

An exhibition of work by Alison Mason Kingsbury Bishop, featuring more than 30 paintings, watercolors and drawings, will open today at the Johnson Museum of Art
Alison Mason Kingsbury, as she was known professionally, was an assistant to I successful mural painter Ezra Winter when she came to Ithaca in 1926 to help paint the murals in Willard Straight Hall. The assignment changed her life: She met and married Professor Morris Bishop and adopted Ithaca as her home.
Ithaca and its landscape became her subject matter, and she became a member of the local community of artists. She died last year at the age of 90.
Many of the works are on loan from private collections in the Ithaca area as well as from her daughter, Alison Bishop Jolly. The exhibition has been funded in pan by Mary Lee and William Herbster.
A graduate of Wellesley College, Kingsbury studied with George Bridgman at the An Students League in New York City and taught painting for a winter at Wellesley College while studying architectural and mural design under Howard Walker in Boston. She later studied painting in France

and sculpture and mural design in Rome with Alfred Janneau. By 1924 she was working in New York City on such projects as the murals for Radio City Music Hall.
With few opportunities to paint murals in Ithaca — she had some commissions, including murals for the chapel in Lyons Hall and Gannett Health Clinic — she worked more and more in oils and watercolors. "These works, painted in a style that contrasted crisp lines with gentle panoramic views, are those for which she is most well known," Nancy Allyn, assistant curator of the Johnson Museum, wrote in the brochure accompanying the show.
The artist made fewer oil paintings and more watercolors and drawings later in life, and her views of Ithaca gave way to more spatially complex images of buildings and interiors. By the late 1970s she was making compositions with paper cutouts that, for the first time, revealed a sense of humor in her work.
"The idea behind art can be anything from profound religious emotion to just something funny," Kingsbury once wrote. "For the real thing, dig deep into your own convictions and stick to them."

Works by Alison Mason Kingsbury Bishop, including this 1929 watercoior, will be on view at the Johnson Museum of Art from June 8 through Aug. 14.

Cornell's Board of Trustees has approved a 10.3 percent increase in the basic stipend paid to graduate students who are teaching and research assistants.
Preliminary planning had set the increase at 5.9 percent, to rise from $6,800 to $7,200 for a nine-month beginning assistantship. The change put that amount at $7,500.
Alison P. Casarett, dean of the Graduate School, said the trustees approved the revision May 27 for two principal reasons: a cost-of-living survey Casarett initiated in November and reported on last month "provided useful documentation" of graduate students' stringent budgets; and belief that the increased stipend level would help compensate for the fact that many graduate students must now pay income taxes on their stipends.
"We made the recommendation to the Board of Trustees to increase the basic graduate stipend on the basis of recommendations from Dean Casarett to the college deans and to me," Provost Robert Barter stressed. He noted that Casarett's recommendation derived not only "from a careful study of the cost of living for graduate students" but from "her discussion of needs with the leadership of the Graduate Student Council."
"I am really excited about the speed with which the trustees and the Deans Council have acted upon Dean Casarett's survey.

which confirmed the Graduate Advocacy Organization's survey," said student-elected trustee Xenia Young. "Both surveys clearly show that the cost of living of graduate students at Cornell had fallen short of the base stipend levels."
Glen Crawford, president of the Graduate Student Council, said he was "certainly pleased with any increase, though they need to keep happening," and he praised Casarett for "trying hard to gain improvements in our stipends."
For the state-supported Cornell units, whose fiscal year began April 1, the increase takes effect immediately.
For graduate assistants whose fields are in the privately supported schools and colleges, the new base takes effect July 1.
In both cases, only the basic stipend is affected. Individual departments and colleges exercise wide discretion in supplementing the university's basic level.
In approving Cornell's budget, the trustees made one other revision of previous plans: They added $50 to next year's anticipated tuition increase at the Law School, which will now rise from $13,800 to $14,850.
In other board action, at the last meeting of the academic year, the trustees:
• Received their Executive Committee's unanimous recommendation, reported by Chairman Nelson Schaenen Jr., that the

question of South African investment policy not be reopened "at this time." A May 10 resolution of the Faculty Council of Representatives had asked trustees to reopen the question, contending that Cornell's selective-divestment policy concerning companies operating in South Africa was "undermining the possibility of improving race relations on campus and is exacerbating relations between the administration and concerned campus constituencies."
The board has reviewed the question twice in the past four years and voted on Jan. 27 to continue its policy, which permits investment only in companies whose South African operations carry out verified programs aimed at ending apartheid and at improving the social, economic and political conditions of the nonwhite majority.
At its January meeting, the board discussed likely campus reaction to continuing the present selective-divestment policy, Schaenen said, adding that "it was one of the principle subjects addressed in the report of the Investment Committee as well.
"In the final analysis, the majority of the board felt that campus harmony should not govern university investment policies," he explained.
Schaenen said the Executive Committee "shares the desire of the FCR to improve racial relations on campus" and said both the Proxy Review Committee and Invest-

ment Committee of the board, which continually monitor the South African situation, could recommend to the Executive Committee that the board reopen the matter "at any time they think it appropriate."
• Heard that total gifts to the university for the 10 months ended April 30 were $120.3 million, up 3 percent from the same 10- month period a year earlier.
• Gave a long, loud standing ovation to retiring board Chairman Austin H. Kiplinger, who served 29 years as a trustee, the last five as chairman.
A tribute presented by Kiplinger's successor, Stephen H. Weiss, noted that Kiplinger, a member of the class of 1939, had known six of Cornell's nine presidents and had the third-longest trustee tenure in Cornell's history.
Among contributions Weiss listed were Kiplinger's chairing the search committee that selected Frank H.T. Rhodes to be Cornell's ninth president and his key role in planning the Center for Theatre Arts that opened in April.
"Few men or women, past or present have played so prominent and so enduring a part in the long Cornell Story," Weiss said, adding: "Surely, no one has given more time, talent and material support to the university over a longer span of continuous service and leadership."

Group of donors commits $25 million gift to Libraries

A gift of $25 million has been committed to the university's library system, President Frank H.T. Rhodes has announced.
Rhodes called the gift "one of the most important in Cornell's history," adding that it would "help us to address the library's most pressing needs — a special-collections library, which also will free space for other urgent library needs, and funds for acquisitions and for positions.
"No other single program so defines the quality of a university — and is so critical to attracting the best scholars — as its library system," Rhodes told some 1,200 people on May 30, at the annual dinner of the Tower Club, a group of Cornell's leading supporters. "The donors' extraordinary generosity will provide one-third of the $75 million we need to keep our library among the world's very best"
Rhodes said the donors had agreed that

their gift could be used to encourage other donors to complete significant library gifts toward the goal of meeting the full $75 million need.
The $25 million gift was initially pledged by a small group of donors if the Tower Club could raise its membership from 1,300 to 2,500 by its 25th anniversary a year ago. The club, whose members give at least $2,500 a year to Cornell but actually average about $25,000, last year contributed more than $60 million of the university's $142 million gift total, which was the third highest among U.S. colleges and universities.
The membership challenge was far surpassed — with a total of 3,600 enrolled by year's end — and the $25 million gift was announced at last year's dinner. Its designation, however, was deferred pending the university's review of its priorities.

While there is a pressing need for more space in the library system, endowment funds also are needed for staff and acquisitions, Seznec said, explaining:
"For years now, to meet the research needs of our faculty and students, we have had to increase annual acquisition costs twice as fast as inflation, partly because of the long-term weakness of the dollar and partly because all materials — especially scientific materials — have risen in cost by from 30 to 400 percent in just the past three years."
He said that in no field are "books and periodicals bought as liberally as in the past, citing particular scrutiny that is given to foreign materials.
"Cornell has by any measure one of the world's great libraries," Seznec added. "And, although budget pressures and the worldwide publishing explosion force us to

be selective, we cannot continue to be great unless we allow our faculty and students access to the best of current scholarship as well as to the riches of the past
"We already share holdings with other leading research libraries — avoiding duplication when possible — and we are using video, compact discs and electronic journals. But, at this point, these technologies are quite expensive and are in fact increasing the financial pressure."
Seznec said that, because technological breakthroughs that could revolutionize the space needs of libraries- are considered far off, maintaining excellence still requires more shelves for books and periodicals in the short and medium term, and more en• dowment to support sound library management and future acquisitions — in every format, traditional and electronic.

compensation and affirmative-action efforts; the future of Cornell's role as New York State's land grant university; and resolving financial and facilities problems of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.
'1 shall be working actively on all of these strategic issues, as will my administrative colleagues, during the coming months," Rhodes said in his letter, adding: "I have already asked Bob Barker to increase the attention he gives to these strategic issues as he and I develop long-term plans to address them."
Rhodes said that he himself would have to give special attention to whether "a major universitywide fund-raising effort" should be undertaken to help build Cornell's endowment, which he noted was 75th nation-' ally on a per-student basis.
"By transferring the day-to-day responsibility for the Ithaca campus to Bob Barker," Rhodes would have more time to work on all these strategic issues, he said. He emphasized, however, that he would still play an active role in campus life during the temporary change, which he said might be in effect "over the next few years."
As Barker assumes added responsibility, the vice president for planning and budgeting, Maiden C. Nesheim, will become provost Nesheim's present duties are expected to be handled by him and existing senior staff.
Nesheim has held his present post since June 1987. Before that, he had been director of the Division of Nutritional Sciences, a position he was named to in 1974, the same year he became a professor of nutrition.
He received a bachelor of science degree in agricultural science in 1953 and master of

science degree in animal nutrition in 1954 from the University of Illinois. Nesheim served in the U.S. Air Force as a first lieutenant from 1954 to 1956. After he received a Ph.D. in nutrition in 1959 from Cornell, he joined the faculty as an assistant professor of animal nutrition.
Nesheim's research has concentrated on the relationship between nutrition and parasitic infections and tumor development He has held fellowships at two Cambridge University colleges and has served on numerous nutrition governing boards and advisory panels for the National Academy of Sciences, the National Institutes of Health and the American Institute of Nutrition. He was president of the nutrition institute in 1985 and 1986.
The required trustee action was a bylaws change providing for the new titles of senior provost and chief operating officer.
In a letter expressing board support, Kiplinger said to Rhodes:
"Your continued leadership will be most important as we address these [strategic] issues.
"The completion of the university's long-range capital plan and securing the financial resources necessary to undergird the strength of our existing people and programs will require a major commitment of your time. The other strategic issues you identified will require equally serious attention.
"I am pleased that, by the creation of the senior provost position, Bob Barker will be able to devote his considerable talent and energy to working with you to ensure that they receive appropriate executive attention. . . . We pledge you our full support"

Barton Blotter:
$2,000 in computer equipment stolen

Some $2,000 in computer equipment was stolen from Chi Phi fraternity at 107 Edgemoor Lane, according to the morning reports of the Department of Public Safety for May 22 through June 4.
The theft was among 17 reported with losses in cash and valuables set at $5,485.
Grand larceny charges were filed against former Cornell student Tony Lamonte Greene, of 20C Hasbrouck Apartments, for allegedly falsely obtaining $1,043 in Cornell housing.
Other stolen items induced a $260 cassette player and accessories taken from the

office of North Campus No. 9, a $75 radar detector removed from a car in Parking Lot B, a class ring and gold bracelet worth $610 stolen from the Helen Newman Hall's locker room and a $794 camera and related equipment taken from Wilson Laboratory.
Computerized copies of the most current daily report may be called up on CU1NFO under the title SAFETY. CUINFO terminals are located in the main lobbies of Day Hall, Gannett Clinic, Willard Straight Hall main desk, Sage Hall and the Uris, Olin, Mann, ILR, law, engineering, physical sciences and JGSM libraries.

The new special-collections library, with a tentative budget of $25 million, would house existing collections as well as archives and rare materials now in Olin Library, freeing space at Olin to accommodate other pressing library needs.
According to Alain Seznec, the Carl A. Kroch University Librarian, several of Cornell's 16 libraries are overburdened; but pressure on Olin, which houses the humanities and social sciences collections, is most urgent
Olin, which is adjacent to the site for the new building, is packed with 25 percent more than the 2 million volumes it was designed for when it opened in 1961. Although three miles of shelves have been added since 1985 alone, it will be impossible to add even one more volume at Olin Library after 1992, Seznec said.

While Cornell libraries have begun using video, compact discs and electronic journals, breakthroughs that might significantly reduce libraries' space needs are still far off, Seznec has explained in recent discussions with the board.
If utility lines must be relocated for the underground construction, that could begin as early as the end of this summer, said David I. Stewart, director of community relations. The excavation work would significantly increase truck traffic to the construction zone along East Avenue between Tower Road and University Avenue, and on Tower Road. Stewart said that, during construction staging work, East Avenue will be closed from Tower Road to the traffic booth near Rand Hall for one season — probably next winter.

Paper recycling program cuts "waste stream" in half

Hundreds of thousands of pounds of waste paper that otherwise would occupy
ivaluable space in landfills are finding new
uses through Cornell's campuswide recycling program.
Nine months after it began, the program, Cornell Recycles is recovering more than half the "waste stream" from academic and administrative buildings on the university's Ithaca campus, where there are 27,000 students and employees. Cornell Recycles is believed to be the first formal, universityoperated paper-recycling program to achieve total involvement of an American college campus.
"This wouldn't have worked without the faU cooperation of our custodial staff, the supervisors in 122 different buildings, the university administration and, of course, the staff and students of Cornell who are enthusiastically supporting the program," said Teresa Hargett, the materials manager for Cornell's maintenance and service operations.
Hargett and Robert Osbom, assistant superintendent of buildings' care, were put in charge of Cornell Recycles in October 1988 by the university's associate vice President for facilities, Harold D. Craft Jr. The co-directors had served on a 14-member Recycling Task Force established earlier in the year with the encouragement of Senior Vice President Jay E. Morley. Craft and Morley were concerned that the university demonstrate ecologically responsible behavior in the face of rising landfill disposal costs.
The task force, made up of representatives of university facilities, looked at the feasibility of inaugurating recycling at Cor°cU. They considered whichrecyclablematerials should be targeted - and recom°>ended paper for the initial thrust - as well as well as how materials could be collected and handled and how they could be marketed.
"Originally, we hoped to recover as touch as half the available, recyclable paPer," said Osborn as he surveyed a mountain of paper-filled transparent bags ready for processing in a downtown Ithaca warehouse. "
We figured that about half the waste from academic and administrative buildings was recyclable paper, and we would have been happy to recover a quarter of the total waste stream. Instead, our custodians and building managers are reporting that at least half - and, in some buildings, 70 percent — of all the waste is being recycled. That means we're saving the majority of the recyclable paper."
Now, the Cornell Recycles co-directors are getting inquiries from other universities around the country. They will report on the success of the program in an upcoming issue of Facilities Manager, the journal of the Association of Physical Plant Administrators.
Here's how Cornell Recycles works:
• New waste-basket-sized receptacles

were placed at each of 12,000 desks in every laboratory, office and classroom building on campus.
Red labels reading "Non-recyclable" were applied to the new baskets. Non-recyclable material includes magazines and other glossy paper, books, envelopes with cellophane windows, food containers and other soiled paper. White labels with the words "Recyclable Paper" and a list of acceptable types of paper and cardboard were applied to the larger baskets already in place at 12,000 desks. Cornell Recycles accepts everything from white and colored paper to newsprint and computer paper.
Orientation sessions were conducted for custodians and building coordinators to describe the purpose and procedures of Cornell Recycles. Occupants of buildings received letters from department heads or other administrators advising them of the start of the program in their building and

asking their cooperation. Articles in the campus newspaper and "Think Recycling" posters featuring Cornell's Big Red Bear further advertised the program.
• Cornell's 275 custodians empty the receptacles at desks into separate barrels. Recyclable paper is transferred into transparent plastic bags and placed in specially labeled carts at the loading areas of each building. Non-recyclable material goes into dumpsters and is hauled to landfills.
• A private company (Ithaca Scrap Processors) picks up bags of recyclable paper from campus buildings and either sorts the paper in Ithaca or resells unsorted paper to another vendor, depending on market conditions. Paper is manually sorted into as many as 17 categories — by color, weight, composition and other factors. Recyclable paper is convened into a variety of products, including cellulose insulation, flower pots, newsprint, cardboard, greeting cards

and paper of all kinds. "We found in our pilot programs that so-
called source separation — that is, asking people to separate recyclable paper by color and type — was asking too much," Hargett said. "Recycling mixed paper and sorting it off campus turned out to be much more workable."
Craft, the associate vice president, noted that the university receives a nominal payment for recyclable paper, but added that "much more important is the cost-avoidance factor in waste disposal. Every ton of paper we save is a ton of trash we don't pay to have hauled away and dumped in a landfill, where the 'tipping fees' can range from $40 to $110 a ton. If we're cutting the academic and administrative waste stream by half, that's a lot of money that can go for the university's real business — education and research."

Science policy benefits state, Rhodes asserts

President Frank H.T. Rhodes told an Albany conference last week that the state could build a vital science and technology base by setting merit-based funding priorities, enhancing the appeal and the quality of science education, and promoting partnerships with business, labor and education.
Rhodes spoke on the state's role in scientific research at the conference, "Science and Engineering in New York: An Assessment" Sponsors were the Association of Colleges and Universities of New York State, the New York State Science and Technology Foundation, and the Rockefeller Institute, where the conference was held. Rhodes said the stakes for New York state were high:
"The quality of jobs it can offer its citizens, the quality of social services it can Provide, the standard of living enjoyed by its people, and their ability to contribute to state and national life — all these and more depend on the quality of New York's science and technology base, and that includes both its facilities and its people."
Noting that science and technology provide the impetus for productivity growth, Rhodes said New York already had done well through such efforts as its centers for advanced technology, which had generated 700 technical papers and 45 conferences, seminars and lectures, as well as training 750 students, leveraging more than $50 mil-

lion in federal research grants and spawning 26 patents and seven spin-off companies.
But Rhodes, who is a member of the board that sets National Science Foundation policy, cautioned that, if New York is to remain a leader in this area, it must meet three looming challenges:
• It must assign priorities, on a rational basis, for funding many worthy but competing proposed projects.
Rhodes endorsed the approach recommended by Lieutenant Governor Stan Lundine's Task Force on State Support for High-Technology Research, a group appointed last year by Governor Cuomo. Lundine's group recommended that outside experts review proposals for scientific and technical promise and that a committee of the State's Science and Technology Foundation Board examine potential for costsharing by industry, technology transfer and regional economic needs. The committee also would follow up on the results of approved projects.
That approach "could go a long way toward assuring maximum return on the state's investment in science and technology" Rhodes suggested.
• It must make science education more interesting and effective.
He said there is particular need to interest and prepare more minority students, who will be called on increasingly to fill future

jobs that will require more technical training.
Besides noting the need for more inspired and inspiring teaching, he praised such creative responses as General Electric Co.'s support to a New York City school where fewer than half the students attended in 1981 and only 7 percent graduated. As a magnet school specializing in science and math, with GE funding and active support, "virtually 100 percent of the students graduate, and virtually 100 percent go on to college each year," Rhodes said.
• It must forge active partnerships — beyond joint funding — with government, industry, labor and higher education. As an example, he cited Cornell's own Center for Advanced Technology in Biotechnology, where "state support has helped us attract substantial additional funding from the U.S. Army, the National Science Foundation and industry," including special laboratories where corporate scientists and university researchers work side by side.
Asserting the need for all state constituencies to agree on the importance of continuing to build the science and technology base, Rhodes cited Alexis deTocqueville's admiration for an American quality of " 'proposing a common object for the exertions of a great many men and inducing them voluntarily to pursue it' "

Peter Plaza
dedicated to
trustee, wife
The pedestrian plaza between the new Statler Hotel and Uris Hall was dedicated on May 27 to George and Gloria Peter for their lifelong involvement with Cornell, as a gift from their four children.
At the dedication ceremony, Austin Kiplinger, chairman of Cornell's Board of Trustees, said that the plaza commemorates Peter's "tremendous contributions to research, education and this university."
Peter, the first university employee elected to the Board of Trustees, worked at Cornell for 41 years in the School of Electrical Engineering and in space sciences. He also was director of laboratory operations at the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center. His wife worked in the Johnson Graduate School of Management from 1976 to 1987.
Kiplinger said that Peter "not only has given great wisdom and stability to the board but also leadership. Long may he serve."
The dedication was a surprise to Peter and his wife. The agenda item announcing the dedication was deleted from his copy of the proceedings at the morning trustee meeting that was held before the ceremony.
The Peters' oldest child, Michael J. Peter, 41, of Orlando, Fla., and a 1973 graduate of the School of Hotel Administration, spoke after Kiplinger, paying tribute to his parents.
"My father came from a poor immigrant family," the son said. "He left a job paying $4,400 a year to work at Cornell for $2,200 because, he said, 'I never was able to go to college, and the university environment will enable me to learn and to grow.' "
With the son on the platform were his three sisters: Patrice Peter DiLorenzo and Denice Peter Karamardian De Souza, both of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Paula Peter Sidle, development officer for Cornell Plantations. The steel statue "Herakles in Ithaka 1," made by the late

professor of art, Jason Seley, from automobile fenders, was moved from the Johnson Museum of Art to stand at the entrance to the George and Gloria Peter Plaza.

President Frank H.T. Rhodes, members of the Board of Trustees, other university officials, and friends and relatives of the Peters attended the dedication.

3 students win
fellowships in
SE Asia studies
Graduate students in the Southeast As» Program have won three of the seven doctoral research fellowships for 1989-90 awarded by the Social Science Research Council.
Over the past five years, 57 percent of the awards for studies on Southeast Asia have been earned by Cornell students, said Benedict Anderson, director of the Southeast Asia Program.
"It is a singular tribute to Cornell that the faculty of its Southeast Asia Program and the resources of the John M. Echols Collection [of Southeast Asia books and documents] attract such outstanding graduate students from American universities and institutions in Asia," Anderson said.
"These students come here to do advanced research on their own and neighboring societies. They will form part of the ever growing body of leading indigenous scholars with worldwide reputation."
This year's Cornell winners come frofl1 the United States, Thailand and China. The fellowships were awarded by the Join' Committee on Southeast Asia of the Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies, both based in New York City.
The Cornell winners will leave later this year to conduct their doctoral research abroad. They are:
• Patricia Pelley, Seattle, Wash., a history major who is specializing in contemporary Vietnamese history with a background in French history and literature. She visited Hanoi in 1987 to establish contacts with local scholars and will study problems in Vietnam's socialist historiography.
• Jiraporn Witayasakpan, theater arts major who came to Cornell from Chiang Mai University in Thailand, will conduct research on national cultural policy and theater arts in that nation in the 1930s.
• Liren Zheng, a Southeast Asian history major who came to Cornell from Xiamen University (Fujian. China), the major center for. Southeast Asian studies in China. He plans to study overseas Chinese nationalism in Malaya and Singapore during the period of 1898 to 1941.

Anatomy course seeks live models

Live models are needed a new course to be offered this summer, Biological Sciences 208, "Anatomy through Drawing."
The class will meet five days a week for an hour a day during the six-week summer session that begins on June 26.
Karen Kucharski, an area artist who will teach the course through the Department of Physiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine, is looking for at least one man or woman, and perhaps more, to pose without clothing for the course for $7 an hour.
Anyone interested in modeling, preferably those with well-defined physiques, may call Kucharski at 1-6253276.
For those interested in enrolling, there is no pre-requisite, either in terms of biology or art. The purpose of the course, Kucharski said, is that "most anatomy students learn through books.

cadavers and bones, and this is a chance to deal with live human models and to remember through drawing."
The course is not listed in the Summer Session catalogue because it was approved too late to be included.
Other courses missing from the catalogue are: Economics 565, the Japanese Economy; Education 247, Instructional Applications of Microcomputers and Related Technologies; Hotel 174, Microcomputing; and Industrial and Labor Relations Collective Bargaining 608, Special Topics: Sports Arbitration.

Disability Notebook: With Epilepsy at Work

by loan B. Fisher, coordinator of Disability Services
Today's column entitled "With Epilepsy at Work," was written by Eugenia (Genie) Hurme. Ms. Hurme has worked at the Law School and currently works at the A.D. White House. She holds a master's degree in anthropology from Cornell.

I had my first daytime seizure at work at Cornell ten years ago. I was taking a coffee break (strong coffee!) 1 discussed my epilepsy with very few people, fearing the stigma associated with it. But I learned about seizures, adapted to life with epilepsy, and, with good medical care, gained control of my seizures. Generally seizures are well controlled medically and are a hidden disability. Ignorance and fear surrounding seizures present a greater handicap than the seizures themselves.
What Are Seizures and Who Has Them A seizure results from disorganized discharges between brain cells. Once balanced activity is restored, the seizure stops. One seizure does not signify epilepsy; recurrent ones do. There are different kinds of seizures, broadly classifiable as convulsive, nonconvulsive, and partial. ' Seizure disorders (or epilepsy) occur worldwide and we can all have seizures. Problems before birth, head injuries, infectious diseases after birth, toxic factors, strokes, brain tumors, and inherited and degenerative disorders are allpotential causes of epilepsy. Over one percent of the U.S. population or 2.2 million people are estimated to have epilepsy.
Hidden Disabilities and Epilepsy At Cornell that "one percent" means about 260 people. (Based on a student population of approximately 17,TX)0 and an employee population of approximately 9,000.) Where are they? Seizures are so well-controlled by medication that the vast majority of people with epilepsy lead virtually normal lives. The invisible nature of epilepsy can lull us into thinking that people with seizures are never discriminated against. Surveys of public attitudes suggest, however, that "of people who have epilepsy who nave problems securing a job, more than 40 percent are turned away simply because they admit to having epilepsy, even though 79 percent of Americans say they believe people witn epilepsy should be hired for jobs that do not present special risk for them." (R. Lechtenberg, Epilepsy and the Family). How can a job applicant or employee deal with this? People should not take clearly risky jobs, but there are few of these if seizures are well-controlled. People with disabilities are not required to reveal their disability in writing or in an interview, unless it refers to

specific job duties. Statistics demonstrate that employing a person with epilepsy does not increase accident rates, absenteeism, insurance or workers'compensation. People with epilepsy sometimes have slightly better safety and job performance records than coworkers.
People with epilepsy need to develop individual medical regimes and maintain a strong sense of self-esteem. Living with seizures may require lifestyle adjustments, but so do other health disorders. One frequent loss is a driver's license until seizures are well-controlled. I relied on my bicycle. Imagine how I felt when someone looked at my helmet and jeered: "What are you, an epileptic?" That was a stigma! Understanding friends, employers, relatives, and support groups can nelp the person with epilepsy maintain self-esteem and productivity.
First Aid for Seizures
If you see someone having a seizure, do the following:
1. KEEP CALM; 2. Clear the area around the person; 3. Do not restrain the person; 4. Do not force anything between the per-
son's teeth; 5. Turn the person's head to one side and
place something soft under it; 6. Let the person irest after the seizure
passes.
Do not call a doctor or ambulance, which will cause a large, needless expense, unless the seizure lasts more than five minutes or is closely followed by another seizure. Stay with such persons until they are reoriented and capable of going about their business or going home.
Conclusion
You will probably never see anyone have a seizure. If you do, carry out the steps listed above. The stigma associated with epilepsy can be lifted with persistent educational efforts.

What is the Supervisor's Responsibility to the New
Employee?
What is your responsibility as a supervisor to a new employee?
The first few days on the job are critical to the success of the new employment relationship — both for a new employee and the niring department. These are the days when you first find out what someone's work habits are and they find out what kind of supervisor you are.
It is the supervisor's responsibility to effectively introduce new employees to their new jobs, to the department, and to acquaint them with university and department policies and procedures.
An effective orientation of your new employee will: - foster a sense of belonging for the new employee, - outline the mission of the department, - minimize the anxiety associated with starting a new job.

Where do you start?

The best time to start introducing an employee to a new job is before the hiring decision is made. You should be certain that the successful candidate is aware of the responsibilities of the job and what your expectations are for the person holding the position. Explain any unusual working conditions such as required overtime, Saturday or evening hours. These should not come as a surprise to new employees.

The following checklist may be helpful for the new employee's first day on the job.

- Explain the purpose and organization of the department.

- Describe the image you would like the department to project

in dealing with your clients — whether they are students,

faculty, sfeff or visitors.

Employers Prepare: The Gray Wave Is Coming!t

Acknowledging that rising life expectancies, sinking birth rates, and maturing baby boomers are ushering in a graying of the labor force in industrialized countries, the International Labor Office in Geneva launched a research program which focused on biased perceptions of workers aged 55 or older. The program also highlighted training measures to help older workers hold jobs, start new careers, or become self-employed.

such programs, many employers ha ve been led to change former negative attitudes toward older workers.
• Age is no barrier to learning. The belief that people lose some intellectual capacity as they age can be attributed to "lifestyles and not to potential. In many cases older people get 'rusty' because they are no longer forced or motivated to use their brain power," ILO says.

In related reports by the Conference Board and the Department of LLaabor, American employers admit to wooing retirees as the growing labor shortage increases the competition for goocTworkers. Also cited in the reports is a need for new public and private policies to improve employment incentives for older employees and end to discrimination against them. •

• Training and retraining are scarce. On-the-job training for older workers is "largely invisible or unknown," ILO finds. Retraining is also rare. ILO notes that national attitudes toward retraining differ. In the U.S. it is generally considered useful only if it is linked to specific prospective employment, while in Europe, retraining is usually considered valuable in itself.

Older Workers Have a Good Track Record

Employers Under Pressure to Find Employees

Despite the fact that the pool of younger workers is shrinking and labor shortages loom ahead, ILO says public policy discourages the continued employment of older workers. The organization has begun a research project to identify and challenge age-biasedperceptions and policies. Among preliminary findings, the ILO reports:

Focusing on the U.S. labor supply, the Conference Board reports that there will be 44 percent fewer 18-25 year olds entering the job market in 1990 than there were in 1979. As a result, employers are "under pressure" to find employees and are searching among the 3.3 million Americans who have taken early retirement.

• Older workers have a good track record. A survey of more than 300 U.S. firms shows that, in comparison with younger workers, older employees have lower turnover, show greater loyalty, are more conscientious, exercise better judgment, have fewer accidents, and maintain better morale.
• Older workers are a good investment. The benetr special training to use the skills of older employees far outweigh their costs, according to the ILO. As a result of

Inaccurate perceptions of,the elderly have helped to prevent spending on job training and placement programs to increase older workers' opportunities, the report says. It suggests strengthening the Age Discrimination in Employment Act to eliminate the effects of age bias. However, employers are voluntarily making positive efforts to overcome biased perceptions and attract more older workers as the labor force continues to shrink. To make the prospect of returning to work more palatable for retirees, for example,

• Outline the new employee's role in the department and how his or her performance contributes to the success of the department in meeting its goals and objectives.
• Explainand, when appropriate, hand out guidelines on safety regulations and emergency procedures, parking, departmental absence and call-in policies, handling of confidential information, and smoking policy.
• Give details on hours of work, lunch and coffee breaks, flextime, and policies on use of overtime, the reason for timecards and instructions on how to complete them.
• Take the employee on a tour of the department and any other areas with which he or she will need to become familiar.
Talk about Performance Expectations The most important thing that you need to explain on a new employee's first day is exactly what your performance expectations are. You should encourage questions from the employee concerning both the nature of the job and the level of performance you will require. Be certain th.it there is mutual understanding of responsibility expectations.
Explain the Probationary Period If the new employee is nonexempt, you will need
plain the 90-day probationary period. The purpose of this probationary period is to pi the employee and the department the opportunity to evaluate the work situation. It is your responsi bility to make certain that the new emphn i ceives the training necessary for success in th sition. During this period you should evaluate the em ployee's performance, attitude and potential tor success on the job. Because this is a trial period, vou should not expect 100 percent efficiency in the job, but rather the demonstrated potential to perform the job.

Encourage Attendance at New Employee Orientation (NEO)
The Office of Human Resources conducts an orientation session for new employees which is designed to tell them more about the Cornell community at large. President Rhodes, Provost Barker, Senior Vice President Morley and other administrators take turns visiting each session to extend a brief, personal welcome. A slide show is presented which shows a view of the campus and describes the facilities and programs open to employees and their families some of which include athletic events and facilities, dining units, and the campus store. Specialists from various areas of the Office of Human Resources are available to a nswer employees' questions concerning educational programs, compensation, etc. It is important for you to encourage your new employees to attend New Employee Orientation because it introduces them to some of the positive aspects of working lite at Cornell and supplements the information and orientation you will give them.
Questions? The combination of these efforts — departmental orientation, CER and New Employee Orientation (NEO) — will help make a new employee's introduction to working life at Cornell both pleasant and helpful. If you have questions concerning a new employee, the probationary process or C KK and orientation, contact Lauren [acoby in the Of-

Incentives Needed A report by DOL's Older Worker Task Force emphasizes the need for new policies as incentives to attract and retain older employees. The report notes that Social Security represents an economic disincentive to work past age 65. The earnings test under Social Security is "a significant tax on work," the report says and estimates that the test has influenced the employment decisions of between 350,000 and 2 million individuals. The Task Force suggests the following alternatives:
• Eliminate the test; • Raise the income threshold to which it
-applies; or • Accelerate the phase-in of the delayed
retirement tax credit.
Eliminating the disincentive for older employees to work by any of the suggested means could prove to be expensive, the Task Force warns. It advised policymakers to balance the cost of such changes against the economic costs of reduced labor force participation due to the current law.
The report points out that employers as well as government should be pursuing "positive person-

nel policies" to attract older employees and retain those already on the payroll. Discriminatory pension arrangements in particular are examined by the report, which insists that "30 and out" retirement plans and other pension policies that discourage older workers from staying on the job should be abandoned. Instead, the report suggests pension subsidies under defined-benefit pension plans for employees who delay retirement and bonuses under defined-contribution plans for employees who keep working longer.

ILR Makes a Commitment to Accessibility

by foan B. Fisher, coordinator of Disability Services Before

After

According to Eastman, these projects have made a good start in providing accessibility but there are still major projects which need to be completed as capital budget funds become available.

These include new elevator control panels which will meet

recommended codes for accessibility. At the present time,

controls are too high for a person in a wheelchair to operate

without great difficulty. In addition, there are plans for

additional accessible restrooms and improved ramps or

grading changes to provide better accessibility to the upper

levels of Ives and the Conference Center. A ramped en-

trance to the Conference Center from Garden Avenue would

provide an add itional accessible route from the upper to the

lower campus.

Continued on page 4

flu' stairs made the main entrance to foes Hall inaccessible.

With a ramp replacing the stairs and changes in grading, the main entrance to Ives Hall is now accessible.

"It sometimes takes a mishap to make one sensitive to the plight of others. For me it was an injury to my leg that made me aware ofjust how difficult it must be for people in wheelchairs to get around in the ILR School and use its facilities... I note with great satisfaction that the ramp affording easy and attractive entry into Ives is near completion." Robert E. Doherty, former dean, ILR.
"As the premier school tha t dea Is with problems in the ivorkplace, it is important for ILR to serve as a model for other colleges and as a model employer. We have, therefore, given top priority to making the ILR School easily accessible to handicapped people. Significant progress has been made to date but additional work needs to be done to guarantee ease of access to our facilities." David Lipsky, dean, ILR.
Within the past month four ramps have disappeared from Ives Hall but no one is mourning their loss. In fact, their removal is another step in helping crea te a college accessible to all persons—including those with visual, hearing or mobility impairments.
According to David Eastman, director of facilities and services, the new ramp replacing the stairway at the main entrance to Ives Hall has made it possible to replace the steep temporary ramps which provided entrance to the faculty and administration wing and the classroom and library wing of Ives Hall. As an added bonus, changes in the grading have eliminated the need for the wooden ramp at

the entrance by the Statler circle drive and also have provided for an easy access to the courtyard area where in the past a temporary ramp was necessary.
Other changes have been prompted by specific concerns. In February of 1988 a major conference, Women in Science, was held in Ives Hall. One participant, a woman who uses a wheelchair, had a most frustrating experience searching the entire Ives' complex for an accessible women's restroom. At that point there was no such room in the building; the closest accessible women's restroom was in Uris Hall. Since there was no signage in the building, there was no way to know that.
As a result of this situation, Jane Vanderzee, graphic designer from Facilities Engineering, was asked to design a complete signage system. This included 34 signs which give directions to accessible restrooms and other information necessary to persons with disabilities. Eastman does have advice for other persons contemplating signage projects. The Ives' sign's are self-sticking with press-on information. For some reason, people have not been able to resist the urge to decapitate the figures on the restroom signs and, in some cases, have pulled signs off the doors and walls. Eastman advises that laminated signs which are screwed or nailed to the wall might last longer.
Since the signs have been put up, ILR has also upgraded three of the restrooms— two in Ives Hall and one at the ILR Conference Center—to make them accessible.
