Criminal Treatment Sessions Planned
by Jane Rieker News Bureau
With the national attitude on corrections moving from warehousing prisoners toward rehabilitation through new treatment methods, the University’s program in Applied Social Sciences has begun a series of workshops on “Treating the Incarcerated Offender.”
UM has received a 15-month grant of $168,810 from the U.S. Department of Justice Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and the National Institute of Corrections, through the Florida Governors Council on Criminal Justice, for training in correctional treatment techniques.
Dr. Herbert C. Quay, director of the Applied Social Sciences program and workshop project director, explained: “Many correctional facilities at the state and local levels, although committed to establishing treatment programs, are unable to move forward because of the lack of adequately trained staff. Our workshops will give intensive training in treatment techniques which have been successfully applied by correctional staffs in institutions and community facilities.”*
The first workshop, on “Positive Reinforcement Programming,” brought 14 members of correctional staffs from the Dade County stockade, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, California and Virginia last month. That workshop will be repeated for other groups in April and May.
Other workshops are scheduled on “Positive Reinforcement Programming” and “Facilitative Counseling : Systematic Interpersonal Communication Skills.”
Personnel from adult correctional fields, preferably in teams, are being selected for the future workshops. Participants’ expenses are paid under the grant.
Dr. V. Scott Johnson is coordinator of the workshops and instructor for positive reinforcement programming. Dr. Susan

D. Scholz is co-instructor in positive reinforcement programming. Dr. Johnson received his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Iowa State University and came to UM from the Robert F.

Senate Takes Active Role With Budget
The Faculty Senate Budget Committee will be taking a more active role in deliberations toward the development of the University budget. At the December 9 meeting of the Faculty Senate, Dr. Bennett Sallman, chairman of the committee, brought the Senate up to date on the procedures the Budget Committee is following and the changes it is recommending.
To assist the Senate Committee in its function of adequately representing the faculty members in University budget matters, the administration has agreed to supply the Committee with the following information:
1.	The number of persons employed in each school, office and division of the University and the total disbursement for each of the salary classifications— AOl, A02 etcetera.
2.	The AOl payroll, broken down by salary levels, for 1969 through 1974.
3.	A detailed distribution of the unrestricted or U personnel budgets throughout the University. The Committee requested information for A, B and C budgets as well as for every unit within the University.
4.	Information on the executive payroll without identification of an individual’s salary.
The administration further agreed that a representative from the Senate Budget Committee—Dr. Sallman—pursuant to the Faculty Manual, p. 58, section 4.4, act as a liaison with the University Budget Committee, which consists of the president, the vice president for academic affairs and the vice president for financial affairs.
President Stanford has invited Dr. Sallman to confer with the University Budget Committee during its decision making meetings. This would be for deliberations and decision making steps throughout the year, and would include all meetings where income, expenditures and commitments are discussed.
