Bernhard WantsStudy of LiberalEducation Here

WMUPresident John T. Bernhardhas announced his intention to appointa "blue ribbon" ad hoc committee tostudy the role of liberal education atWestern "in the face of intensepressure nationally from advocates ofonly 'vocationally-oriented'education."He is asking for as many indications

of interest from faculty members andstudents to forward their nominationsto his office. Dr. Bernhard also hasaSked the executive board of theWMUFaculty Senate to provide himwith 10 nominations from which hewill draw five individuals to serve onthe All-Universitycommittee.In announcing his plans to the

Faculty Senate, Bernhard cited astatement made last summer byUniversity of California PresidentDavid Saxon; it is as follows: "Ithinkwe are more in need ofwisdom todaythan at most earlier stages of ourhistory. A broad liberal education isnot the only ingredient of wisdom,butit is an essential one. Weneed all theknowledgewe can muster tomeet ourtechnological and scientific problems.We need all the accumulated ex-perience and understanding ofhumanity we can absorb to meet oursocial problems. And I believe wecanill afford the risk of foreclosing themaximum cultivation of thatknowledge and understanding simplybecause it seems not to be requiredfor immediate vocational purposes."

April Fools

Scramble Meals, Not EggsPerhaps the largest April Fools'

joke ever on WMU's campus wasplayed on some 6,000 dormitorydwellers here last Friday (April 1)when the residence hall foodservicesscrambled the meal schedule insteadof the eggs.Students were offered chili, grilled

cheese sandwiches and hamburgersfor breakfast, and hot ralston, coldcereal, pancakes and sweet rolls fordinner, plus April Fool signs.James N. McKellin, manager of

Western's campus food services,explained that the menu committee,comprised of certain dormitory foodsupervisors, was "trying to break themonotony ofmealtime." And break itthey did, beginning with the "break-fast," and continuing with a heavydinner menu for lunch which includedbeef stew onbiscuits, fish, hash brownpotatoes and lima beans.He noted that each meal did have

available some "normal" choices,such as ham and egg casserole forbreakfast, beef stew for lunch andsliced ham for dinner, along with theusual array of beverages, juices andsome side dishes. McKellin said hereceived only 9-10complaints aboutthe switch, typified by Donald J.Rentz, a Grosse Pointe freshman,who said he didn't get to the morningmeal, which was a typical luncheonmenu, "and usually my favorite . .then we had fish for lunch and I hatefish!"Wendy L. Turney, a Belleville

sophomore, said "It was fun.. I'd liketo see it next April Fool"; BernardStafford, a Walled Lake junior, said,"It was a nice change, I guess ... theyshould keep on trying different thingsto add some variety to our meals";Randall K. Aardal, a Detroit fresh-man, said, "It caught me by surprise,but it was all right"; however, thethought of chili for breakfast causedEvie L. Kroll, an Edwardsburg fresh-man, to say "Ugh."

Report News Survey ResultsWMU employees look first to the

Western News, the University'sweekly internal newspaper, for mostof their information about the cam-pus, according to the results of asurvey conducted last spring.The 312 survey respondents, who

represented 49 percent of the WMUemployees questioned, ranked theWestern News first, compared toother Kalamazoo area newsmedia, astheir most frequent source of in-formation about the following sevencategories of campus news:faculty/staff accomplishments, 71.2percent; WMU job openings, 59.3percent; personnel departmentpolicies, 58.7 percent; calendar ofcampus events, 57.7 percent;governance actions, 52.3 percent;University finances, 50.3percent; andcollective bargaining, 34.3percent.The Western News was rated

second in providing news aboutstudent activities, and third for newsabout entertainment and Broncosports.The survey also revealed that the

level of readership of each issue of theWestern News is 78.5 percent, andover 62 percent of the respondentsread either the entire issue or most ofit.Not only is the Western News well

read on campus, but employees alsobelieve what they read. A total of56.1percent of the respondents said thatmost ofthe information in the paper iscredible, while an additional 30.1percent said they believe some of it.Still, the Western News' credibility ishigher than other newspapers. Only23.1 percent of the respondents saidthey believe most of the news ~ other

papers, and 60.6percent believe someofwhat they read elsewhere."The survey data, combined with

the written comments ofrespondents,appears to suggest that the prevailingperception of the Western News bymembers of the University com-munity is that it is a credible 'houseorgan' which provides good coverageof the types of information about theUniversity which are ofmost interest

to employees," said Patricia Coyle,associate director of informationservices, whoconducted the survey.Two of the items of top interest

among all employees inform readersabout what other employees are doing(campus briefs) and what activitiesthey themselves may participate inon campus (campus calendar), Coyleobserved. The other two subjects oftop interest pertain to decisions abouteconomic issues (University finan-ces) and working conditions(governance actions).On the other hand, news about

collective bargaining, a major topicof discussion on campus for the pasttwo years, received a low medianrank of interest. And, althoughfaculty ranked it as the secondhighest item of interest, the per-centage was only 22.2, the samepercentage of faculty which seeksinformation about collectivebargaining first in the Western News.Martin R. "Joe" Gagie, director of

information services and editor of theWestern News, said that the surveydoes not suggest that major policychanges should be made in thepublication of the newspaper."However, we are giving serious

consideration to the variances ofopinionamong employee groups, andweare continuing to strive to meet theinformation needs of the entireUniversity community," he stressed.The readership survey of a random

sample of 25percent of the Universityemployees was conducted last spring.The data was compiled with theassistance of Testing Services, theComputer Center and the InstitutionalResearch Office.
