Wage-Price Council Agrees to 'Exception' The Council on Wage and Price Stability has agreed with a Januay finding by the University Board of Trustees that "an exception from the price deceleration standard...of President Carters anti-inflation program is needed to avoid undue hardship to the University." President Frank Rhodes was informed of the council's agreement with the board's "self-administration of an undue-hardship exception" in a letter from Barry Bosworth. director of the council. and the effects of these actions on Cornells tuition and on its financial position has led to our concurrence with the decision." Cornell's exception was the first one granted to any organization by the council, according to a council spokesman. Most requests have only come in since the filing date. Feb. 15, and many now are being processed, he said. A total of 28 employes and students are running for Campus Council and University Board of Trustee seats in campus-wide elections next week.

The construction will fulfill Cornell's commitment to provide an operating site for the facility, for which the National Science Foundation provided a $5 million grant in 1977. The SRRF will be the first facility of its kind in the nation. Phase I of the project, completed in December 1977, renovated several rooms in Phillips Hall to serve as offices and temporary analytical equipment space. The University is exploring several potential external sources of funding for construction of the facility. In order to proceed with construction, backup financing has been arranged, using College of Engineering reserves and a portion of the proceeds from sale of the University's holdings of Calspan stock to Arvin Industries, Inc. Messenger Lecture Series Is 'Construction of Mind' "The Construction of the Mind," is the subject of the Spring 1979 Messenger Lectures. They will be given April 10 through 19 by Marvin Minsky, the Donner Professor of Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All six lectures are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. in Uris Auditorium. Their titles and dates are: —Tuesday, April 10, "The Non-Logic of Common Sense"; —Wednesday, April 11, "The Mind as a Society of Smaller Agents"; —Thursday. April 13, "Learning and Metaphor"; —Tuesday, April 17, "Confusion and Control"; —Wednesday, April 18, "The Web of Thoughts and Feelings"; —Thursday, April 19, "Embodiments of Mind: The Construction of Intelligence." Minsky is a member of the Department of Computer Science and a former director of The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. He started working on theories on intelligence as am undergraduate student at Harvard University where he received a B.A. degree in mathematics in 1950. He earned a doctorate in mathematics from Princeton University in 1954. His dissertation concerned a theory of learning in neural networks. He joined the MIT faculty in 1958 after three years as a junior fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows.

'. Bosworth wrote/Because the University anticipates the possibility of securing a $5 million contract with the Federal Government, (for the National Submicron Research and Resource Facility) it is eligible to apply for an exception... For this reason, the Council has treated your letter in the same manner as an exception request." •* "Our examination of the Board of Trustees' decision, the rationale supporting the decision, the actions taken by the University, Campus Council Continued on Page 1 trative supervisor for Center for Radiophysics and Space Research.

As a mathematician, he has influenced the computer science community's move away from the limitations of finite-state and recursive-function formulations into the present era of algorithmic complexity and related theories. His work, with Papert, on the theory of computational geometry and "perception" machines, is considered a classic in this area, as is his earlier work on Turing machines and production systems.

"A leader also must be able to manage power, authority, resources and interact effectively with the organization members, as well as foster development for new leadership," he continued.

"My newish voice will not be an imitation of the contemporary young black voice, which I so admire, but an extended adaptation of today's Gwendolyn Brooks' voice."

"The emphasis this year is community involvement," said Aviv Goldsmith, a residemt adviser at the house. "One of the main reasons for the breakdown in relationships betweem people themselves, and between people and nature, is the disassociation of community and the lack of contact we have with the consequences of our actions," she said.

The first day of Earthrise will feature a lecture by David Brower, president of Friends of the Earth, at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 16, in Anabel Taylor Auditorium.

Art. The author of "Local Scripts of Archaic Greece," Jeffrey will give her view from the Greek side in her paper, "The Present Greek Evidence, Direct and Indirect: Some Facts and Speculations." The Departments of Classics and Near Eastern Studies and the Society for the Humanities at Cornell are sponsoring a symposium on "The Origin and Transmission of the Alphabet— New Discoveries" featuring Near Eastern scholars from Israel, England, Harvard University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington and Cornell. The first paper will be presented by Aaron Demsky of Barllan University at 8 p.m. Sunday (April 1) at the Big Red Barn. His publication of a new 12th-century abecedarium, or alphabet, in Phoenician script has stirred considerable excitement among classicists and linguists. If Demsky's conclusion, that the Greeks first borrowed the alphabet at the end of the second millenium, is upheld, the traditional view of Greek literacy around the time of Homer may have to be drastically revised. Remarks on Demsky's paper, "The Proto-Canaanite Alphabet in Historic Perspective," will be made by respondent Leslie L. Threatte Jr. of Berkeley. A classicist whose extensive work on the early Attic inscriptions will soon be available in his "Grammar of Attic Inscriptions," Threatte will offer a linguist's view. Remarks on Jeffrey's paper will be made by respondent Martin G. Bernal, associate professor of government at Cornell. Bernal was a fellow last year at the Society for the Humanities, where he gave a seminar on the influence of the Phoenician civilization on the Greek. The final paper of the symposium will be presented by P. Kyle McCarter Jr. of Harvard at 2 p.m. Monday at the Johnson Museum. He has recently proposed a new theory on the transmission of the alphabet in his book, "The Antiquity of the Greek Alphabet and the Early Phoenician Scripts." Remarks on his paper. "Greek Alphabetic Origins: Weighing the Evidence," will be offered by respondent Merle K. Langdon of Washington. Langdon, who will give a historian's view, has recently published a large number of 7th-century Attic graffiti in his monograph ,'A Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Hymettos." At 9 a.m. Tuesday (April 3). the concluding session will be held in 700 Clark Hall This meeting will provide an opportunity for the participants and audience to evaluate the various ideas and theories put forth in the preceding sessions. The second paper will be presented by Lilian H. Jeffrey of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, at 9:30 a.m. Monday (April 2) at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Anyone wishing to attend any or all of the sessions is asked to register in advance with the Department of Classics, 120-A Goldwin Smith Hall.

Cornell Chronicle 7 March 29, 1979 Chronicle Comment 'Incorporate Science, Society' Editor: I have no difficulty agreeing with Professor Simon H. Bauer when he argues for making the understanding of science a central part of a liberal education ( Chronicle, March 8). And I could add to his argument questioning the superiority of humanists as redeemers with some melancholy exampfes of my cwn. But I do have difficulty translating what he wishes into practice—at least here at Cornell—because he will have to convince his fellow scientists first that what he says is important and persuade them to demonstrate their agreement by the way they administer their courses. I am, I hasten to say, in no way accusing the chemists, biologists, and others of hypocrisy, dishonesty, or any other sin— unless undermining liberal education is one. They believe it is scientific or "objective" to grade on a curve. They believe they are applying standards of absolut -excellence when they instruct their TAs to evaluate the work of freshmen and sophomores as impersonally as possible. They believe it advances professionalism to exclude as many students as they can from major work, and very freely admit that many of the examination questions in those classmen serve simply to subsidize graduate students. There is surely a case to be made for the scientists' position. It cannot be made on the ground that their grading or weeding is scientific. There is nothing scientific about disregarding individual differences. And, one should note, it is wickedly wasteful of human resources. Nor can the case be made by invoking the weary pieties concerning the large numbers who have to be taught. There is no evidence that if you tripled the size of the chemistry department teaching and grading practices would change. If in those periodic faculty meetings that seem so full of distressing compromises Professor Bauer finds humanists and social scientists arrayed against their colleagues in the physical and biological sciences, it is very simply because the latter, as far as we can see, have given only sporadic evidence that they want elementary courses are designed solely to weed out. The belief among most of the humanists I know is somewhat different. We believe in taking account of individual differences. We believe that individuals should, if at all possible, be helped to explore what he or she believes to be of compelling No, the case has to be grounded on the belief that education here is, from the start, for specialists. It is what the scientists who talk with me say education is, and it is therefore they who make it impossible for humanists to see any connection between Professor Bauer's admirable principles and the de- Veterinary College's Big Event to make the understanding of interest—and we like to stimu- partments who must be the ones The annual College of Veterinary Medicine Open House will be held science accessible to a large late, not stifle, that interest that to give them curricular sub- from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

You can see both of these and more at the State College of Veterinary Medicine's Open House from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 7. As veterinary students welcome the public to their college to view exhibits, such as care of baby animals, dog obedience training, vaccinations, poisonous plants and comparative anatomy, they hope to afford an opportunity for the public to become aware of the training undertaken by future veterinarians, and of the many, varied services offered by the veterinary profession. Some other exhibits will explain growth deformities or degenerative diseases, such as hip ventive and Corrective Medicine. Some of the exhibits will focus on what owners can do to help keep their animals healthy. "The public's awareness and outcry against the mounting costs of health care have resulted in the demand by health specialists and governmental agencies for greater emphasis on the field of preventive medicine in the education and practice of veterinarians and physicians. In response to this demand, the college has made a major investment in the field of preventive medicine through the establishment of a department composed of faculty with specialized training in preventive medicine who are dedicated primarily to the development of this field within the college and university," according to Dr. Raymomd H.

And with the increasing trend towards early specialization, students seem unable to view their education within the broader context of social values — to what end are we being educated?

You could grow a variety of vegetables all winter with a new plant grower developed at Cornell. A planter consisting of a series of wooden containers stacked on top of one another has been designed by a vegetable crops specialist at the State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Designed primarily for growing vegetables in succession from fall through spring, it can be used in schools and in homes. Roger A. Kline, who developed the planter, sees it as an educational aid for school children. "It's ideal for classroom situations where children can start vegetables from seed and watch them grow to maturity during winter," he says. Kline is on the staff of the College's Department of Vegetable Crops as an extension associate responsible for vegetable gardening programs for 4-H youth and adults. Kline's model is made up of roughly W-shaped containers that are stacked vertically. These containers are not attached to each other so they can be separated and carried or stored easily. The model now being tested by Kline consists of five containers providing 6 5 square feet of planting surface The whole unit, 5 feet tall, is mounted on a wooden base with castors so it can be wheeled easily. The base takes up only 2 square feet of floor space. Designed to be placed close to a well-lit window, the planter is not equipped with artificial light to keep the design simple and to save energy. Instead, it relies on natural light from windows facing south or west. "Leafy and root crops will thrive if more than five hours of sunlight is given each day," Kline says. "Since light conditions in homes vary, success with the planter depends on the amount of available light." Emphasizing the need for a minimum of five hours of sunlight, Kline does not recommend the planter for use in a home where natural light is not adequate. Only those types of vegetables that tolerate low light intensity are recommended. They include kohlrabi, radishes, beets, Swiss chard, carrots, chives, parsley, leaf lettuce. Bibb lettuce, New Zealand spinach, and cherry-type tomatoes. The containers and other components of the planter can be built easily with half-inch exterior plywood, and could be a woodworking project in schools or as a 4-H project. Home gardeners without special skills also can build them. With the help of experimentalist Robert Sayles, Kline put together his 5-container model Women Workers' Status at a cost of less than $40.

In her new book, "Affirmative Action and the Woman Worker: Guidelines for Personnel Management," Farley explores the nature of the personnel manager's responsibilities toward women workers—implementing equal opportunity legislation and recognizing the more subtle factors, not easily changed by laws' that limit women's opportunities for success in the world of work The book, which sells for $14.95, was released on March 23 by AMACOM, a division of American Management Associations Farley begins with the rationale that prompted government to intervene in areas that once were the exclusive domain of the employer She emphasizes recruitment, selection and training of women, areas in which equal opportunity legislation has had a particularly strong impact. The book examines women at work in both the public and private sector and the kinds of jobs—blue collar, clerical, salesworker, professional and manager—that they hold. An entire chapter is devoted to the minority woman, who has the problems and advantages of being a member of two protected classes Despite equal opportunity laws to the contrary, "assumptions about the nature of masculinity and femininity apparently impede many managers their husbands' jobs come first and that housework and child care are the woman's responsibility," she writes. Women also are hampered because they age socially more quickly than men, must pay closer attention to their physical appearance and have few role models of successful women workers to emulate. Farley says important goals from the woman's point of view have not yet been reached— maternity benefits, equal pensions, equal benefits under Social Security, and benefits for part-time workers. Corporations, for the most part, have been unwilling to experiment with flextime jobs and jobs that can be shared by two people, she adds The major difficulty at present, however, is the nature of the work women do—low-paying, routine occupations that are the most dispensable in time of economic slowdown. The occupational outlook for many of the jobs currently done by women does not augur well for women workers, she writes. Yet Farley is optimistic about the future of working women— and men—as America moves into its third century. "Good women and good men will build a strong, well-founded center, respecting one another's rights and bearing mutual responsibility for children, whose welfare is never irrelevant to anything," she concludes. Raises More than $4 Million More than $4 million has been raised from alumni and friends of the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine in answer to the first call for private support in the college's history, according to Dean Edward C. Melby Jr. The campaign for Cornell Veterinary Medicine aims to raise $8,370,000 to meet "priority needs" of the college by 1981 and an additional $7 million for other uses as soon thereafter as possible. The alumni have set their goal at $1.5 million, and in the first two and one-half years some 900 alumni have responded with gifts, pledges and deferred gifts totaling more than $1 million. Eighty-five percent of the alumni on the faculty, 37 men and women, are supporting the campaign. Melby said, "The genuine enthusiasm and commitment to the campaign expressed by so many alumni is very heartwarming to me as the one responsible for the college's immediate and longrange operations and programs. The funds are extremely important, but I also value the drawing together of our alumni body in a common cause and the dialogue and better understandings that have developed. That, too, is helping the college immeasurably." During the alumni phase of the campaign, non-alumni also began to offer their funds to help meet the goals. To date they have contributed more than $3 In the campaign's first phase, some 350 alumni organized to approach fellow graduates, and an outstanding response was achieved, according to Edward J. Trethaway. assistant to the dean for public affairs. The campaign has now moved into a second phase in which alumni and other veterinarians who use the college's services enlist the support of their clients. As a result of this second phase a number of animal owners have made significant contributions to the college, Trethaway said. A Connecticut resident gave $75,000 to endow a scholarship fund in honor of her local veterinarian, a member of the Class of 1932. The scholarships will assist students from Connecticut, (or if there are none at Cornell, from one of the other New England states). Dr. Eugen Grabscheid of Tenafly, N.J., established a $200,000 trust to support canine research with special emphasis whenever possible in canine longevity and spondyloarthritis, two of many areas of canine research under investigation at the college's Department of Clinicial Sciences and the James A. Baker Institute for Animal Health. The trust was given because Dr. Grabscheid wanted to honor his two German shepherds. Several alumni have designated Cornell as owner and beneficiary of their life insurance policies so that those funds may eventually be available to the college. A number of other people have named Cornell and the college in their wills. Some veterinarians have selectively waived their euthanasia fees and suggested that the clients make a contribution to the college. Others have given portions of their fees to the college and encouraged their clients to help animal research and care by doing likewise. While much of the money and deferred gifts has been given for specific purposes, a large portion is unrestricted and may be used in areas where the college sees the greatest needs. These unrestricted funds are assigned to projects or programs based upon a review of a number of proposals submitted by faculty and staff by a joint faculty/alumni committee. The results produced by the alumni in their phase of the campaign were recognized by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and received an Exceptional Achievement Award in 1977 in the total financial support category. Alumna to Present Papermaking Workshop Milton, Melville Talk Set Mary Ann Radzinowicz. whose 1978 book on John Milton has been predicted to "become a classic in Milton studies." will speak on "Milton and Melville" at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 4, in the Hollis E.

Radzinowicz, a lecturer on the English faculty at Cambridge University and a fellow of Girton College there, wrote "Toward Samson Agonistes: The Growth of Milton's Mind." Critics and commentators called the book "deft," "perceptive," "brilliant" and "incomparable." A native of Illinois.

Her lecture is sponsored by the Committee on University Lectures. million in gifts and through provisions in their estate plans. People everywhere who are concerned about the welfare and care of animals will play an increasing role in providing private assistance to the college, Melby said. "Our alumni and the general public have come to realize that private support must supplement the funds we receive from New York State if we are to maintain the margin of excellence for which the College of Veterinary Medicine has become known," Melby said. Elaine Koretsky, a 1953 graduate of Cornell University, will present a two-day papermaking workshop at the North Campus Union at Cornell from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, Saturday and Sunday, April 7 and 8. On Saturday, Koretsky will teach the basics of papermaking —preparing pulp, couching, pressing and finishing the sheets of paper. The Sunday session will explore the art of papermaking in greater depth. Koretsky describes her involvement in papermaking "a natural coming-together of her previous professions in woodworking and design, as well as a life-long interest in crafts, horticulture, fibers and botany." The workshops are sponsored by the North Campus Union and the Hinckley Foundation Museum Classes are limited to 1 5 people each and early registration is recommended. Interested persons should call 256-6220 to register.

Colacurcio Helps Bring 'Scarlet Letter' Michael J. Colacurcio. professor of English in the College of Arts and Sciences, will see the results of three years of involvement with the dramatization of "The Scarlet Letter'when the four-part series is broadcast by Public Broadcasting Service the first week in April. Colacurcio was one of six chief consultants who have been working with the production staff since December 1975. The scholars provided expertise on Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author; American literature and the Puritan era. The dramatization of Hawthorne's novel of Puritan America will be broadcast by PBS beginning April 2 at 9 p.m. In a programming plan unprecedented at PBS. the series will be broadcast on four consecutive nights. April 2-5 at 9 p.m. on WCNY-TV (Channel 24 in Syracuse and WSKG-TV (Channel 46) in Binghamton. (WCNY will broadcast a captioned version for the hearingimpaired from 8 a.m. to noon on April 14.) Colacurcio said he and his colleagues from Harvard, Columbia and Boston University "came in and gave a private education in The Scarlet Letter' and Hawthorne and Hawthorne's 19th-century treatment of 17thcentury Puritans to television professionals. "Our role was to help in recasting the narrative material of the novel into dramatic form. I've seen the full series, and I personally don't know that anything better has ever been done on American television." Colacurcio. a member of the Cornell faculty for 14 years, is the author of a forthcoming twovolume study of the historical sources and achievement of Hawthorne/The Progress of Piety." He won a Clark Teaching Award at Cornell in 1974. "The Scarlet Letter" is a production of WGBH Boston and is made possible by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Exxon. The four 60-minute episodes represent the first serial presentation of a classic American novel produced by public television. The production stars Meg Foster as Hester Prynne, Kevin Conway as her husband Roger Chillingworth, and John Heard as minister Arthur Dimmesdale. Rick Hauser of WGBH is producer/director of "The Scarlet Letter," and Hollywood tele- vision veteran Herbert Hirschman (Playhouse 90, Things in Their Season) is executive producer. Describing the novel he selected for adaptation, Hauser said "The Scarlet Letter" is about passion. It's about real people who paid a high price for trying to be themselves In that way, it's about being American." The drama focuses on Hester Prynne, who—condemned for a sin of passion—must wear forever the scarlet letter "A" on her breast. Proud, independent, and courageous in her defiance of the social values of her time, Hester chooses to assert her self-sufficiency, her motherhood, and her love. Hester endures her public punishment with dignity, and grows stronger as the years of her isolation and ostracism pass. Her lover, however, lives undetected in the community, tormented and weakened by the burden of an unexposed sin. Hester's husband —deeply hurt and unable to forgive—coldly plots revenge. Four years went into the research, planning and production of "The Scarlet Letter." It was shot on location last summer in Newport, R.I.. where the town of Boston (circa 1642) was constructed to recreate the Puritan atmosphere Hawthorne described in his most famous work. to Television Michael J.
