Veritas, Vol. 15, No. 07, October 7, 1974

              Faculty Senate Passes Legislation
Three items of class B legislation were passed by the Faculty Senate during the September 23 meeting.
•	School of Continuing Studies—Bylaw IX (74001). The bylaw enumerated the powers and duties of the School, subject to the corresponding authority of the Senate and the authority of the President, and the composition of the School of Continuing Studies Council.
•	Establishment of a Department of Oncology (74011). Adopted was the School of Medicine’s proposal for the establishment of a Department of Oncology. The faculty members of the School of Medicine had already voted in favor of the proposal.
•	Interdepartmental Graduate Studies (74006). There is an increased tendency for faculty and students from different disciplines to work together in a variety of laboratories, departments and centers which cut across disciplinary lines. In order to facilitate such interaction, highly qualified students may pursue a privileged course of graduate studies designed to develop a researcher who is neither over-specialized nor under-educated. There is a Fh.D. and a master’s program planned in Interdepartmental Graduate Studies, coordinated by the Dean of the Graduate School.
For further information on any of the above items, contact Faculty Senate Secretary Susan Merriman at 284-3721.
Also approved by the Senate was the President’s recommendation that representation from the A03-A05 classifications of employees be included in the membership of the University Retirement Committee. The President has appointed Betty F. Snidow to the committee.

Portrait Exhibit Opens at Lowe
by Sharon Clark News Bureau
An exhibition of “Contemporary Portraits by American Painters” is being shown at the Lowe Art Museum through November 10.
Thirty-seven selected artists have submitted two works each—one commissioned and one non-commissioned portrait—most of which were executed in the 1960s and 1970s.
Local artists represented are Ronni Bogaev, Jill Cannady, Louis Ulman and UM art department studio faculty Eugene Massin and Shirley Thiele. Works by such noted artists as Phillip Pearlstein, Alice Neel, Elaine de Kooning, Abe Rattner and Will Barnet, as well as others, are also included.
John Gruen, New York art and music critic, notes in his introduction to the fully illustrated catalog that, “The works in this exhibition boast a wide variety of styles: subjects are represented in icy realism, cool outline, soft delineation, hot immediacy, or, in some instances, brutal detail. There are portraits of enormous wit, subtle ambiguity, of mystery and drama. Whatever the style and whatever the approach, each subject is seen with a true artist’s comprehension and knowledge of what people are all about.”
Included in the exhibit is a portrait of President Henry King Stanford by New York artist Paul Georges whose works are in the Museum of Modern Art, the Chicago Art Institute and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. Georges was selected to do the portrait last fall by a campus committee. Members of the committee included Charles Cotterman, University architect; Eugene Massin, art department faculty; Paul E. Thompson, assistant director of the Lowe, and Dr. Andrew Morgan, chairman of the art department. Funds for the commission were donated by members of the Alumni Association, staff and friends. An uncommissioned work by Georges will also be exhibited.

George Smith Registrar
The University reports an increase of three percent in its full-time enrollment, with 10,786 full-time students as compared to last fall’s 10,480, which had reflected a decrease of five percent from the fall of 1972.
Figures released by Registrar George W. Smith show 8,295 students enrolled fulltime in the undergraduate college and schools, an increase of 260, and 2,491 fulltime students in the graduate and professional schools, an increase of 46 students.
Total enrollment this fall, including 3,203 part-time degree students, 54 audit students and 3,786 enrolled in non-credit special interest and professional development programs, is 17,829.
For those seeking degrees in the undergraduate divisions, including 1,688 part-time students, enrollment is as follows:
College of Arts and Sciences, 4,376, a decrease of 293 students over last fall;
School of Business Administration, 1,873, an increase of 154 students;
School of Continuing Studies, 22, a decrease of nine students:
School of Education, 1,084, an increase of five students;
School of Engineering and Environmental Design—921, up by 174 students;
School of Music—488 students, an increase of 55;
School of Nursing—352 students, up 94.
At the undergraduate level, there are also 616 unclassified students and 251 who have not declared a major.
Enrollment in the graduate and professional divisions, including 1,515 part-time students is as follows:
Graduate School—2,311, of whom 865
are full-time and 1,446 part-time;
School of Law—1,144, with 1,075 fulltime and 69 part-time;
School of Medicine—551, all full-time.
While the number of new transfer students is up by 120 for a total of 1,380, new freshmen enrollment totalled an even 2,000, as compared with last fall’s 2,008.
There are 28 more international students this year, with 306 from 61 foreign comitries.
One unexpected increase in enrollment was the 60 percent rise by 1,424 students for a total of 3,786 enrolled in non-credit courses offered by the School of Continuing Studies. Of the total 5,298 enrolled in evening classes, 1,488 are part-time students seeking degrees and 24 are auditors of credit courses.
NLRB Rules On Voting Unit
University officials have been advised by the National Labor Relations Board, Washington, D.C., that only a portion of the UM faculty will be permitted to vote in the election on the question of faculty unionization as petitioned by the UM chapter of the American Association of University Professors last December.
Tbe NLRB denied the administration’s request to include the faculties of its schools of Law, Marine and Atmospheric Science, and Medicine as part of a comprehensive voting unit.
As defined by the NLRB, the voting unit includes full-time faculty, including librarians, department chairmen, assistant and associate deans who also teach, Guidance Center faculty, and research associates.
Not included in the voting unit are deans and part-time faculty.
University spokesman Edward G. Coll, vice president for development affairs, said the election will be held within 30 days, in accordance with the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act.
