Honors speaker urges broad education

By KYSA CONNETT
"Jobs are tight in the nation's
economy today but we cannot allow
that to permeate our institutions to the
S extent that it discourages the develop-
ment of the whole person."
This was the message U.S. Circuit
Judge Damon Keith brought to a
packed house at the 62nd Annual
Honors Convocation last Saturday af-
ternoon in Hill Auditorium.
Over 3,000 undergraduate students
were honored for their academic
achievement.
KEITH SAID that college students

EAST LANSING (UPI) - The
Michigan State University Board of
Trustees will receive Thursday a
proposed $38.5 million funding package
for new sports facilities which features
two student fee hikes.
U nder plan, student fees will be in-
creased by $1 per credit hour for. the
fall, 1985 term and by an additional $1
for the following fall.
The MSU athletic department will
contribute 10 percent of the project
cost, or $3.8 million, with the money
coming from a $2 increase in football
ticket prices and proceeds from the
recent Cherry Bowl football game.
All facilities are supposed to be com-
S pleted by 1988.

today have a strongly materialistic at-
titude, but he does not view the attitude
as totally bad.
"The fact that. our 17- and 18-year-
olds now place economics and upward
mobility at the head of the list as
reasons for attending college perhaps
only shows a healthy maturity not
present in earlier generations."
Yet he said he does object to "letting
this mood of practicality run wild."
Keith stressed studying to learn -
something he termed scholarship - as
opposed to using college merely as a
vocational school.
KEITH POINTED to William Du

Bois, a prominent black protest leader
in the first half of the 20th century who
helped to create the NAACP to em-
phasize the value of scholarship.
DuBois studied philosophy, ethics,
Greek, and German to satisfy his "bur-
ning desire for scholarship, not prac-
ticality," Keith said.
Because Du Bois lived in a time
period filled with dramatic change -
World War II and the rise of America as
a powerful nation - Keith said: "I do
not believe that Du Bois would have
been well served by this day's version
of practical baccalaurate education-
change became exceedingly too fast."

Keith warned: "We are simply not
smart enough to predict what changes
are not in store for us in the future, and
because of that the most fruitful course
for us to take is to elect broad and ever-
expanding scholarship."
During the ceremonies, 543 Angell
scholars - students receiving straight
A's for at least two consecutive terms
- were recognized. Ann Heil was the
only student to receive the award for
eight terms. Michigan alumnus George
Skurla, president of Grumman
Aerospace Corporation, was presented
with the Outstanding Achievement
Award.

The Office of Housing was unable to
estimate the amount of money that
vandalism costs the University every
year.
MEMBERS OF the RHA fire com-
mittee expressed support for Mar-
chant's proposals, but emphasized that
they remain in draft form.
"It's just a petition, a suggestion of
action to the housing office," said
William Halverton, the committee's
chairman.
I just view this as a petition of
residents expressing their concern over
these issues to housing," Halverton
said.
Marvin Parnes, the housing division
assistant director of resident education,
said that he couldn't comment on the
specific RHA proposal because he
hasn't seen it.
HE DID SAY, however, that we look
seriously at any proposal from the
RHA, but this University is generally
more concerned with educative ap-
proaches than judicial ones."
The housing division's 1985 guidelines
entitled "Living at Michigan," state
that "tampering with fire equipment or
Correction
LSA faculty last year approved a set

correctly reported Sunday that the
guidelines had been rejected.

ringing false fire alarms are violations
of state law which may result in
criminal prosecution and lease ter-
mination."
Housing Program Director of
Residence Operations Ed Salowitz said
that this constitutes an official housing
policy, and he questions the potential
success of a system of rewards.
"REWARDS GENERALLY haven't
worked on our society. Whether studen-
ts here are going to be any different I
tend to doubt."
RHA President Hegedus said
the committee exceeded its authority in
proposing a list of mandatory fines.
"My reaction to the fines is
negative," he said. "Who's going to
determine guilt? That's getting into a
much broader area than we wanted to."
"The committee was only supposed
to investigate the possibility of setting
up an RHA or Housing reward system. I
was surprised to see the systems of
fines."
