THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA STAFF BULLETIN
RADIO AND TELEVISION: AT YOUR SERVICE
An increasing number of people, educators included, are becoming aware of the informa- tion and education potential of visual
-communication. At The University of Alberta, the Department of Radio and Television » provides a free television production service to members of the University community who wish to exploit this developing field. Though lack of work is not a problem right now, the department is available and ready to help University staff with their television needs and ideas.
» The essential purpose of Radio and Television, according to Acting Director BILL JOPLING, is to assist in the teaching or learning sprocess at the University, as well as to produce programs as a public educational service. In this
. sense, there are two basic types of production: instructional and educational.
» Instructional television involves the use of a program to clarify or enhance an idea or concept. For example, a professor may have an idea he or she wishes to present in the classroom, but may not be sure of the most effective method of presentation. There is a good possibility that Radio and Television can
" help. The instructor will work with one or
more producers until a production has evolved. A program “package” is then put together, and it goes into the classroom. It may be only five minutes in length, but it might crystallize a difficult point or save hours of teaching in other forms. Last year, for example, an English
* professor, with her students as actors, used the
: facilities of Radio and Television to produce a visual dramatization of a portion of “The Rape of the Lock.” Not only did it dramatize, it clarified.
*+ Instructional television can help in other
_ Ways as well. A course offered by the Depart-
*ment of Microbiology, for example, includes
, 40 experiment which requires the sacrifice of two rats. There were a number of complaints about the killings, largely on moral grounds but also on economic ones. The problem was solved by videotaping the experiment, so that
; only two rats were killed.
Educational television, in the general sense,
, involves a wider “public” than instructional television. The Department of Radio and Television functions in this respect as a Production centre for information programs,

ranging from radio talks (produced for CKUA) to videotapes for varied distribution. Programs currently in production include a feature on hockey officiating, intended for hockey officials, coaches, and players (the expertise necessary to the production is here, in the Faculty of Physical Education); and a three-part series on the performing arts. More than one past production has gained recognition. “Parasites in Moose,” a videotape originated by w.M. SAMUEL of the Department of Zoology and designed to show the public that certain parasites which afflict the moose do not affect its edibiltty, has been requested by organizations across Canada and the United States.
Educational radio, if there is such a term, is designed for general public consumption. The principal purpose of Radio, says GUY VAUGHAN, Supervisor of Radio Production, is to communicate the expertise of the University in an effective way. The lack of visual impact must be overcome, he says, by an interesting topic presented in an interesting way. More than 140 “Radio Talks” and 40 “Discussion Panels” are produced annually; all of the music for CKUA’s “Music Hour” also comes from the department.
Funding for the many productions is derived from two sources. Radio and Television is funded as a University department, and most productions are financed from this budget. The other major source is the Public Service Grant, which comes from the provincial government and is administered by WILLARD ALLEN, Associate Vice-President (Academic) and Chairman of the General Faculties Council Radio and Television Committee. Most important overall, though, is that Radio and Television’s clients need not worry about paying for the productions they want; those costs are borne by Radio and Television.
As important as production, says Mr. Jopling, is the distributing role of the department. “A full range of television equipment is available, and much of it does not require the services of a producer.” Equipment of this nature includes portable videotape recorders, which are easy to understand and operate. If larger scale equip- ment is necessary, a three-camera mobile production unit (which does require producers) is available. As well, fully-equipped studios are available in the department’s

headquarters in the Biological Sciences Centre for recording both radio and television programs, with or without producers, depending on the complexity of the project. Radio and Television employs four producers: RAPHAEL BEAUSSART, JACK KEECH, DAVIS RAGOSIN, and DON SPENCE. When a decision is made to go ahead with a program one of the producers, depending on his interests and expertise, is assigned to work with the client. The producers also function as production-technical staff, handling and operating the equipment during production. BRIAN KIENAPPLE is Supervisor of Television Production, and is currently dividing his time between Radio and Television and “In Touch with U,” seen weekly on CITV. JOHN SLEIK is Radio and Television’s Technical Supervisor. One cannot help but notice the desire of the staff of Radio and Television to assist University personnel in their television needs. There is a real interest in presenting the University—to itself as well as to the public— in its best light. If any readers have an idea or concept they feel can be exploited, they are invited to call Brian Kienapple at 432-4962 or 432-1231, or Bill Jopling at 432-3302. They’d be glad to discuss it.
LEARNED SOCIETIES ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS
Task force and program chairmen, committee members, and local representatives for the 1975 Learned Societies conference are invited to organizational = meetings being held this afternoon and tomorrow in the banquet room at Lister Hall. The first meeting will convene today at 1:30 p.m. and those attending will be given tours of University buildings from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday’s meeting will convene at 9 a.m. and will be devoted to the scheduling of the meetings of each society. It is anticipated that the meeting will adjourn at 1 p.m.
UNIVERSITY AIDING TRAINING PROGRAM
A unique training program, established to help northern Canadians work within their own environment, is tapping the resources of The University of Alberta. The course, known as the Assistant Resource Management Officer program, has three general goals, according to ROB HORNSEY, Program Co-ordinator. Trainees receive a basic technical education, a good deal of field experience, and an introduction to “white” culture.
Designed primarily for Indian and Eskimo natives, the program embodies the philosophy that there is no need to eradicate indigenous cultures during the process of resource development. “There is no point in giving our trainees a solid technical background without also showing them how to communicate with ‘southern’ businessmen,” says Mr. Hornsey. “One of the great problems in the past has been the lack of understanding——on the part of the incoming, technically dominant culture —of native attitudes and values. There is no question that these cultures will change with the introduction of technology, but they don’t have to die out totally.”
The Boreal Institute for Northern Studies and the Department of Extension are the segments of the University tapped most directly by the program. The very nature of the Boreal Institute makes it valuable, notes Mr. Hornsey, in that it contains key resource personnel such as DON GILL, Director of the Institute, and ART MARTELL, a Research Associate in the Institute, who are able to relate culturally to the rationale of the program. The Department of Extension is preparing a course for the trainees, to be held in February and March 1975, which will teach them the potential of institutional resources.

It also will prepare them to cope with the complexities of a different culture without submerging themselves in it.
The program, which takes two years to complete, has eight trainees enrolled: six from the Northwest Territories and two from the Yukon. Their geographical area centres on the Mackenzie corridor, which contains the bulk of Canada’s northern population. Funded by the federal Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, it is a pilot project. Naturally, Mr. Hornsey hopes it will continue beyond its initial stages. “People who are native to the North have a natural, human investment in their land,” he says. “They know what it’s worth. That’s why they probably can do the best job.”
SENATE

LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS FUND
In March of this year the Senate received a submission from H.A. HARGREAVES, Associate Professor of English, deploring the state of
the Library Acquisitions Fund. Dr. Hargreaves said the reduction in buying power of the University’s book and periodicals budgets had seriously endangered the University Library. His submission resulted in the establishment of a Senate committee to study the Fund. Excerpts from the committee’s report follow:
Statistical Data
A number of factors have combined to effect a substantial reduction in the ability of the University to purchase Library materials:
1. The average price per book has risen from $8.43 in 1967-68 to an estimated $14.64 in 1974-75. In the present year alone, book prices are estimated to increase by 20 percent. Similar rates of inflation may be applied to periodicals.
2. In actual dollars the Acquisitions Fund has fallen from $1,874,250 in 1970-71 to $1,575,000 in 1974-75. The book budget alone has fallen from $1,605,000 to $1,000,000 during this same period.
3. Utilizing a combined price budget index (based on 1967-68) the University’s purchasing power for Library books has fallen from an index number of 100 in 1967-68 to 64 in 1974-75. This constitutes a loss in real purchasing power of 36 percent since 1967 and
is less than half of the purchasing power available in the 1969-70 budget year (effective index 147). The annual number of books purchased by the Library fell from 144,976 in 1970-71 to 128,244 in the 1972-73 academic year.
4. Changes in the international rates of monetary exchange, involving effective devaluations of the Canadian dollar, have increased costs of materials from abroad by more than 20 percent in some cases...
The total Library budget, as a proportion of the University-wide operating budget, has not significantly changed over the past several years. The declining growth of the Library budget reflects that of the University as a whole. An increasing proportion of the Library budget, however, has been devoted to staff salaries (about 60 percent in 1974 compared to about 50 percent in 1967). This is despite the fact that the number of full-time academic and non-academic staff in the Library system has declined from a high of 393 in 1971 to 354 in 1974. With University-wide staff salary settlements fixed in the Library budget, the proportion of money left for acquisitions has decreased. In times of financial stringency, this has been described as a “people first” budget orientation and appears to apply across the University ...
Coping with Financial Stringency
Much of the responsibility for allocating acquisition funds falls to the Library Committee of General Faculties Council. It is this Committee that has faced the brunt of problems created by financial stringency ...
In the Spring of 1972 it was decided that the Library would no longer be permitted to carry over unexpended funds from one fiscal year to the next. Therefore, although hundreds of thousands of dollars had been committed for purchases in one fiscal year, they had to be charged when the materials arrived—to the budget in the following year. This policy change evidently had the effect of exacerbating existing financial problems, at least in the short run. Another strain on this Committee is apparently created when new study programs are approved for the University without adequately considering the implications for the Library budget.
To meet what had become a serious situation in 1973-74, the General Faculties Council Library Committee took a number of steps:
1. The Developmental Fund (used to finance specific projects such as the establishment of new collections, the purchase of special collections, or the filling in of historical gaps in existing collections) was withdrawn and the monies transferred to the book acquisitions fund.
2. A temporary moratorium was placed on new periodical subscriptions.
3. An inventory was taken of all existing periodical subscriptions and duplicate, unused, and many lightly-used subscriptions were cancelled.
4. Marginally-used foreign newspapers were cancelled.
5. Some blanket book orders were cancelled. 6. A special “tax” was imposed on funds normally distributed to teaching departments for book purchases: 10 percent in 1973-74, 15 percent in 1974-75. Departmental book orders were reduced.
7. Monies available for retrospective buying (filling in historical gaps in collections) were reduced.
These economy measures were, in themselves, still not enough to overcome a serious financial crisis. In October 1973, the Library received a special $40,000 grant from the Board of Governors, followed by another $60,000 in January 1974.
Effects of Budget Stringencies
. .. This Committee surveyed the opinions
of all deans, directors, and department chair- men at The University of Alberta. We asked them to assess the effect of existing budgetary provisions in the Library on their individual research and teaching activities .. . They lead this Committee to conclude that, in the absence of budget increases and other measures, it appears likely that the University Library could experience damage in the years to come, with observable effects on the teaching and research capacity of this institution.
Conclusion
... The task of this Committee was to establish the adequacy of the Library’s Acquisitions Fund. The Fund appears to be increasingly inadequate to meet the stated need of the University community. As a short-term solution, greater finanical support alone would alleviate the most pressing problems indicated by the academic staff. But the need for long- range methods of meeting the University’s Library needs has been emphasized to us. Random suggestions have included, for instance:
1. far-reaching communications reorganization, involving the development of a provincial library network, interconnected by computers and printing systems;
2. alternative funding sources, such as the 3AU Fund or the establishing of a University Library foundation;
3. internal reorganization, such as the removal of the Library’s Acquisitions Fund from the University’s operating budget to its capital expenditures or otherwise granting it special status in budgeting procedures; and
PAGE THREE FOLIO, OCTOBER 10, 1974
Dr. Clandinin
4. re-assessment of charges to outside users (such as professional societies).
Whatever the means, if the Library collection at The University of Alberta is to maintain its standards, fiscal planning will be required, in addition to higher levels of financial support. Unless a concerted effort is made for appropriately funding the books and periodicals collections, this Committee can only restate
its concern for the future quality of this University.
Following receipt of the task force report, Senate members approved a motion by J.R. KANDLER: “Recognizing the importance of an adequate Library for the purpose of meeting the objectives of this University, the Senate shares the concerns expressed in the report of its committee on the status of the Acquisitions Fund of The University of Alberta Library. The Senate furthermore recommends that the University Administration give consideration to the isolation of the Acquisitions Fund for budgeting, funding, and control purposes and offers to make available the detailed impressions of the members of its committee in further meetings with the Administration, should this be desired.”
REPORT ON QUOTAS
The Senate Task Force on University Entrance Requirements presented a report on the problem of quotas. The report contained the following recommendations:
1. The University should take immediate steps to broaden its information program in order to provide the public at large with complete information on the policies of establishing quotas and the criteria used in selecting students to fill the quotas.
The information gap between the University and the public is a serious one and requires immediate action by University authorities.
2. The provincial government must clarify its position as to the ultimate maximum size of The University of Alberta as soon as possible.
POULTRY NUTRITIONIST HONORED
The Agricultural Institute of Canada has presented a Citation for Fellowship to DONALD CLANDININ, Professor of Animal Science, in recognition of outstanding work in the field of poultry nutrition, particularly in relation to the nutritive value of protein supplements in which he is acknowledged as a world authority. Dr. Clandinin’s work has led to improved procedures in the processing of oilseed protein crops and to the expanded use of rapeseed meal for livestock feed in Canada and other countries,
(HENRY KREISEL, Vice-President [Academic], pointed out to Senate members that this had in fact been done in May of this year, when the government told the University that its size should be somewhere between the maximum suggested in Academic Plan 8 [19,000] and the minimum in Academic Plan 9 [25,000]. Dr. Kreisel said the figure would be approximately 24,000.)
3. There must be closer co-ordination and consultation on the part of The University of Alberta and the provincial government in the formulation of the Academic Plan.
It is essential that the Academic Plan reflect the needs of society as seen by the provincial government as well as protecting the interest of the University as an academic community.
4. The Department of Advanced Education and The University of Alberta should jointly explore ways of improving relationships between the two groups.
The misunderstandings which exist between the University community and the Department of Advanced Education make the handling of the quota problem more difficult.
5. The procedures presently in use by the University to determine the imposition of quotas should be re-examined with a view to obtaining more public reaction before actual quotas are established.
6. The University of Alberta should explore the possibility of widening the participation of non-University personnel in the selection procedures for quota facultes. (It was pointed out that these personnel should not be members of professions related to the quota faculties. The purpose of the recommendation is to decrease the amount of public suspicion regarding selection procedures for quota faculties. )
7. The University of Alberta should study the possibility of setting up some type of random selection for qualified candidates where student places are limited.
8. Studies should be conducted to determine
whether the present University facilities and staff are being used to provide for the maximum number of student places, and the result of such studies should be widely publicized.
9, Certain programs at the University should be re-evaluated as to suitability of the length of the program and also whether these programs should be offered by the University or be available at some other post-secondary institution.
10. The practice of requiring graduates of certain professional faculties to render service in the local area for a set period of time should be explored.
The province heavily subsidizes certain professional faculties and many of the graduates leave the province and, in some cases, the country.
UNIVERSITIES ACT REVIEW The review of those portions of The Universities Act which pertain to the Senate is continuing. The committee will report at the November 22 meeting of the Senate. The deadline for submissions to the provincial government has been set back to January 1, 1975.
GENERAL FACULTIES COUNCIL
The regular meeting of General Faculties Council was heid September 30, 1974.
COMPUTERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION Members approved the following motions by HENRY KREISEL, Vice-President (Academic): 1. That this University support the major policy recommendations of “Computers in Higher Education,” that the University should accept responsibility for operation of a regional computing facility to provide service for both academic and administrative computer work and to be operated for the use of any post- secondary educational institution in the ~ province, subject to the following conditions: (a) that the Department of Advanced Education will provide special funding to implement the proposed facility; (b) that the facility would be operated in general accordance with the recommendations contained in the report “Computers in Higher Education;” (c) that the timetabie for implementation of the proposed facility can be satisfactorily negotiated with the Department of Advanced Education. 2. That the Board of Governors be requested to enter into negotiation with the Department of Advanced Education for funding, acquisition, and operation of the proposed regional computing facility.
In preparing its recommendations, the Computer Facilities and Policy Committee of
PAGE FOUR FOLIO, OCTOBER 10, 1974
General Faculties Council emphasized the fact that the University “is at present under- equipped with computing facilities for general purpose computing, particularly in view of the anticipated future demand for computer work.” The Committee also felt that the co-operative development proposed by the Department of Advanced Education is the most expeditious way of obtaining improved computing service.
INNOVATIVE PROJECTS POLICY
Members approved the following motion by
H. KREISEL, Vice-President (Academic), regarding procedural guidelines for the Department of Advanced Education’s Innovative Projects Policy. The guidelines were formulated by the Academic Development Committee.
1. That the Academic Development Committee receive and consider applications from Faculties and Schools, and that the co-ordination and submission thereof to the Department of Advanced Education be effected through the Office of the Vice-President (Academic);
2. That each Faculty or School establish internal procedures for the evaluation of projects—which should be in line with Faculty/School priorities and objectives;
3. That a letter of transmittal from Deans/ Directors accompany each proposal submitted to the Academic Development Committee which, in turn, will establish that such proposals are generally in line with University objectives;
4. The Committee does not recommend that it assign priorities to the proposals received; and 5. As the Department of Advanced Education has requested that proposals be submitted with institutional approval, the Committee recommends that all proposals from the University be sent to the Department under the signature of the Vice-President (Academic), who will act in concert with the Academic Development Committee. (Also see FOLIO September 26, 1974.)
TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDIT POLICY
The Faculty of Arts, in considering the Transferability of Credit Policy approved by General Faculties Council Executive Committee (acting for Council on June 3, 1974; see FOLIO June 13, 1974), made additional recommendations. They were moved by JACK GIRTON, Graduate Students’ Association, then debated and approved by Council in accordance with recommendations of the Executive Committee and the Colleges Committee of General Faculties Council. Of the three Faculty of Arts recommendations, the first and third were approved as submitted. The second was replaced with one formulated by the Executive Committee.The approved motions appear below.
1. That the University record as one of its
objectives in its relations with other post- secondary institutions the establishing of a means of accrediting Alberta colleges and institutes; that it seek to bring into being an independent accrediting body with established guidelines; and that it maintain that accreditation should be subject to continuing review.
2. That a representative be appointed by the President, pro tem, to serve on the Credit Arbitration Committee. (Note: the appointee is WILLARD F. ALLEN, Associate Vice-President [Academic]. )
3. That there ought not to be delegation of authority to Faculties and Schools to enter into private agreements with other post-secondary institutions; and that there ought in fact to be a representative and funded University committee charged with establishing University positions and that it ought to have attached to it, as resource people, the Admissions Officers of the participating Faculties/Schools.
COLLEGES COMMITTEE CHANGES
Members approved the following motions by MYER HOROWITZ, Dean, Faculty of Education. 1. That the Committee be renamed the Articulation Committee of General Faculties Council of The University of Alberta (ACUA). 2. That the composition of this Committee be changed as follows:
Old Composition
Six to eight members elected by General Faculties Council which will include members from the Registrar’s Office and other administrative positions.
Chairman to be elected from members.
New Composition
Six academic members elected by General Faculties Council of whom at least one will be a member of General Faculties Council. Chairman of the Admission Requirements Committee.
Chairman of the Summer Session and Evening Credit Program Committee.
Two members from the student community, at least one of whom has transferred from an Alberta college.
An Executive Secretary from the Registrar’s Office.
Ex Officio: The University of Alberta representative on the Provincial Credit Arbitration Committee.
Chairman to be elected from Committee members.
3. That the terms of reference of this Committee be changed as follows:
Old Terms
To consider the recommendations of the Evaluation Committee regarding: —application for affiliation;
4
—renewal of affiliation; —review of existing affiliations.
New Terms
To be developed from the principle that the primary task of the Committee is to formulate and recommend University policy re: transfer and credit arrangements with the colleges,
and thereafter to ensure smooth transfer and to assist colleges in meeting program requirements.
ACADEMIC APPEAL COMMITTEE
Members approved a motion by GRANT DAVY, Professor of Political Science, which extended the terms of reference of the General Faculties Council Academic Appeal Committee:
That subject to the prescribed limitations on the authority of the Academic Appeal Committee, its present scope of authority shall be broadened to include appeals concerning admission to a non-quota program from students of a public or private community college, institute of technology, or regional agricultural and vocational college, who fall within the purview of the Admission and Transferability of Credit Policies of The University of Alberta, approved on June 3, 1974.
The former scope of the Committee was to hear and determine the appeal of any student from decisions affecting his academic standing at the University which relate to: (a) transfer from one program to another; (b) admission from another faculty of the University; (c) continuation in a program; (d) graduation; (e) a request to withdraw.
UNIVERSITY COURSES: REPORT ON CRITERIA
The General Faculties Council ad hoc Committee to Establish Criteria for University Courses, established in March 1971, felt it was unable to comply with its terms of reference. Council members therefore accepted the motion of the Committee’s chairman, G. FORD, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, “That General Faculties Council receive the ad hoc Com- mittee’s report and discharge the Committee.” The Committee’s report states, in part, that the Committee met “at frequent intervals throughout 1971 and in the early part of 1972. Wide divergence of opinion was obvious from the start of the Committee’s deliberations. Informal discussions between members of the Committee continued through 1972 and 1973 but no agreement has been reached on the establishment of criteria for University courses, although agreement was reached on some general principles of University education.” The general principles included in the report are: 1. University study should emphasize principles and concepts more than memory of facts. It
PAGE FIVE FOLIO, OCTOBER 10, 1974
This rare set Of har
should examine the logical foundation of concept and theory, and encourage criticism of current views especially in the light of continuing research and developments in cognate areas of study.
2. University programs must, therefore, be incremental, building on previous knowledge and integrating new knowledge, so that further advances in learning can be made. The integration of new knowledge should create a requirement for further knowledge.
3. For these reasons teaching and research need to be carried on simultaneously by those who teach in universities.
4. Both in teaching and research wide variations occur between disciplines in methods of approach, techniques involved, and sophistication of technology used.
5. Since University programs should build on already existing knowledge and incorporate recent advances in knowledge the content of such programs should change through time.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE At the meeting of the Nominating Committee on September 11, 1974 R.J. BUCK, Professor of Classics, was re-elected Chairman.
Council members elected J.F. FORREST, Professor of English, and R.U. LEMIEUX,

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:
CHANGE IN COMPOSITION
Council approved the following motion made by CELINE BELANGER, Students’ Union:
“That the composition of the Executive Committee of General Faculties Council be altered to provide for an additional under- graduate student.”
BOARD OF GOVERNORS
The Board of Governors and its Executive Committee met October 4, 1974.
RENOVATIONS PROCEED IN NORTH GARNEAU
The North Garneau Management Committee has been authorized to proceed with the renovation of houses in the North Garneau community. Work will be initiated on four houses per Month until a total of 20 houses have been renovated.
In the first phase of the renovation project, $100,000 was allocated for work on 10 houses; now another $100,000 has been granted for the next 10 houses. Although some of the houses in the first group exceeded the estimated average cost of $9,000 the Management Committee anticipates that the renovation costs for some of the other houses will fall below the average.
Lease Control Policy
The Board also approved the principles of tenancy as drawn up by the Management Committee:
1. That all houses in the North Garneau community be leased to a basic group of full- time students (as defined by the Registrar and the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research), each of whom must be 18 years of age or more.
2. The basic group will equate in number with the number of bedrooms in the house, i.e. its minimum capacity.
3. Each house will be rated for a maximum capacity. Members of the basic group will be permitted to invite others to join in the lease to the limit to the maximum capacity. All occupants of the house, except dependent children of occupants, must become joint tenants on the lease and provide information as to their connection to the University.
4. All leases will terminate on the thirty-first of August of each year.
5. For a maximum period of five years, the incumbent basic group within a house may apply for a further term on or before the thirtieth day of June provided that 50 percent or more of the basic group join in the application and undertake that the full complement of the new basic group will be identified by July 31 and signed on the lease prior to August 31. Failure of the incumbent group to meet these requirements will require the tenants to quit and vacate the house on August 31.
6. If no application for a further term is received from the incumbent group on the thirtieth day of June, other applications on
file will be reviewed in the month of July on
a first come, first served basis to determine the priority of suitable applicants for the houses available for the ensuing term.
7. No specific qualifications are required from occupants other than the basic group, but it is expected that these other occupants will by natural selection have some direct tie with the University, either as part-time students or
staff members. However, all occupants of the house to its maximum capacity must join on the lease and provide information as to their status in their relationship to the University, and
this part of the policy will be reviewed again in July of 1975 for an analysis of the actual occupation of houses.
8. If the joint tenants permit occupants in the house without having them joined in the lease, their lease will be subject to termination on 30 days notice and all occupants of the houses will be barred from future tenancy in the community.
NON-ACADEMIC STAFF RECEIVE SALARY INCREASE
All members of the non-academic staff have been awarded an interim salary adjustment of $60 per month, effective October 1, 1974. F.T. JENNER, Chairman of the Board, says the increase was approved “in recognition of continuing inflationary pressures and the deteriorating position of The University of Alberta in the locai labor market. The matter has been under consideration by the Administration for several weeks, and strong representations have been received from the

The increase was agyanted, however, on the understanding that the government would be sympathetic to a ’ equest for additional financial support. STRACKER’ ORGAN FOR CONVOCATION HALL lhe Memorial Organ in Convocation Hall will be replaced by a tracker instrument rather }than an electropneumatic one, at an estimated “cost of $110,000. Although the electro- _bneumatic organ would cost only about $60,000 the tracker type was favored because Avis better suited for both teaching and Performance purposes, it has a life expectancy of 100 years as compared to 40 or 50 years for

the electropneumatic type, and it will likely require considerably less maintenance.
Board members agreed to apply to the provincial government for a special project grant to finance the new organ. If the application is rejected, 3AU funds may be used.
GERHARD KRAPF, Head of the Organ Department at the University of Iowa, will be hired as a special consultant to provide a study of the space and acoustics of Convocation Hall and to make recommendations with respect to the make of the new organ and the manner of its installation.
NEW STACK FOR POWER PLANT
The stub stacks on the South Power Plant will be replaced by a single 135-foot stack, at an estimated cost of $370,000. The Board’s approval of a recommendation to that effect
is conditional, however; further studies will be conducted to determine whether a 135-foot stack would meet only minimal requirements of the Department of the Environment and

whether future changes in the Department’s requirements could be accommodated once the stack was built.
D. Panar and Associates have been named as prime consultants to undertake the design and construction of the proposed stack.
REPORT ON COMPUTERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
The Board has approved General Faculties Council recommendations and has authorized HARRY GUNNING, President, to negotiate with the provincial government regarding the establishment at the University of a computing centre to serve post-secondary institutions in the northern half of the province.
