Lectures highlight
200th anniversary

I

By RACHEL STOCK
The University U.S. Constitution
Bicentennial Committee is spon-
soring a series of lectures, exhibits,
and forums to celebrate the 200th
anniversary of the constitution.
, The committee will sponsor be-
tvleen 10 and 15 speakers through
November at the brown bags, which
wilt-take place once a week from
noon to 1 p.m.in the LSA Building.
Last week, Philosophy Prof. Carl
Cohten spoke as part of a series of
brown bag lectures about the 1973
Supreme Court ruling that legalized
abortion. Other lectures cover such
topics as "Origins of the Presidency,"
"Women and the 14th Amendment,"
and "The Constitution as a Scrip-
tue,,
LSA junior David Katz, a member
of the bicentennial committee, said
he formed the idea of the brown bag
series because "it was my respon-
sibility to come up with something
directed toward students."
Katz is one of many members of
the committee, formed last Nov-
ember at the request of University
President Harold Shapiro in order to
facilitate celebration of the consti-
tutional bicentennial. The committee
is also made up of other students,
faculty members, administrators,
alumni, judges, and members of the
Ann-Arbor community.
the campus community is one of
miny local communities established
to celebrate the Bicentennial of the
Constitution. There is also a Nat-
ionil Commission and a committee
in each state. While the national cel-
ebration is scheduled from 1987-

1991, with each year representing a
different part of the Constitution, the
University Committee is hoping to
have enough funding to extend its
celebration through winter term,
1988.
The other three subcommittees for
Celebration '87 -set up to celebrate
the Sesquecentennial of Michigan,
the Sesquecentennial of the Uni-
versity in Ann Arbor, and the
Bicentennial of the Northwest Ord-
inance - disbanded after completing
their celebrations.
In addition to the brown bag
series, the committee will open an
exhibition of documents and art
from the constitutional period on
Nov. 6 at the Clements Library. The
committee is also planning two one-
day, Law School-sponsored sympos-
iums on "The Constitution as Law"
for Winter term.
Though the committee has some
money from Celebration '87, most
of it will be used for the law
symposium. Virginia Nordby, chair
of the University committee, said,
"We have ideas (for projects), but we
don't have any money. We're having
to (work on) shoestring operations."
The committee is co-sponsored by
the Undergraduate Political Science
Association, Michigan Journal of
Political Science,aPi Sigma Alpha,
Undergraduate Law Club, and the
Alumni Association. These groups
helped sponsor a PBS forum on
constitutional issues last. year in
which Attorney General Edwin
Meese and ex-President Gerald Ford
attended

schools and colleges. It's not out of balance," Roach
said.
The faculty committee felt that the appointment of a
president with a record of teaching and scholarly
achievement would help minimize increasing tensions
between faculty and administration.
As a result of administrative reshaping of academic
programs, there is a growing feeling of "top heaviness"
and separation of the faculty and the administration into
an "us" and "them," the faculty report said.
Because the central administration is involving itself
more in the formulation of academic policies, the
faculty is afraid it may lose its direct voice in the
University.
The question of the balance between research and
teaching has also been a continuing problem.
"It is likely that our president, like many of our past
presidents, will have had a history of teaching. Our
statement of criteria indicates that we see the value in
enhancement of undergraduate teaching. But this, too,
is not a new issue on this campus," Roach said.
Brown said the faculty's concern for the
improvement of undergraduate teaching and the
decentralization of administration translated directly
into the regents' criteria.
The regents will look for a president who will
emphasize undergraduate education and who is familiar

with a decentralized administration, Brown said.
Faculty speak of teaching "loads" and research
"opportunities" and undergraduate teaching has tended
to suffer in the light of emphasis on research, the
group reported. They were concerned with what they
saw as the deterioration in the quality of teaching by
tenure-track faculty.
"While many of our best researchers are excellent
teachers as well, we cannot simply assume that those
who excel in research are necessarily even adequate, let
alone outstanding, teachers... if faculty generally
thinks teaching is unimportant and unrewarded, as
many now do, their energies will be directed
elsewhere," the committee said in its report.
The faculty report also examined the relationship of
academic units to each other. Because some programs
have been strenghened and others slashed, the report
said, competition between units as they fight for their
share of budget dollars has intensified.
Diversity of students is another issue that the new
president will have to struggle with. The report calls
for the University to make efforts to maintain a
supportive environment for minorities on campus.
The committee also pointed its finger at the
decreasing number of women on the faculty and said
the University must combat sexual harrassment and
develop flexible employment policies and child care
programs in order to help fully integrate women.

Campus
serves as
pulpit for
preachers
(Continued from Page 1)
With his church in town, Caulk
is the only regular Diag preacher.
The other preachers, including
Brother Jim and Brother Jed, are
traveling preachers who tour college
campuses and were thus unavailable
for comment, Caulk said.
English Prof. H.D. Cameron said
the preachers' techniques are ironic
in that "they (Ding Preachers) make
Christianity seem like a religion of
hatred, yet they profess to be
teaching love."
Astrid Beck, program associate of
the University's Religion Studies
Program, doesn't see any harm in
Diag preaching. "The University is
not a thoelogical institution and
these preachers cater to that need. As
for what they say, I don't know if it
makes sense, but if they open up
questions that's fine."
Some feel there are distinct
differences between Caulk and the
other Diag preachers who tend to
draw bigger crowds -by being more
controversial. "Mike is really down
to earth. He relates to people better.
I thought the other guys I have seen
out here were offensive," said first-
year engineering student Andy
Isztwan.
Caulk says the Diag is a
competitive atmosphere for
preaching, but that he tries not to be
offensive in his effort to get people
to listen. "I try to say, 'I love you,
it is your behavior that is at issue."'
In relating to his student
audience, the 38 year-old Caulk often
refers to his past by discussing his
former problems, including drug
abuse. "I think you communicate
better with people when you have
some degree of identification. While
not all students use drugs and drink
- some do. It helps them
understand that I'm just a human
being too," Caulk said.
Caulk says that a book about the
life of Johnny Carson was the
catalyst in his decision to review his
life and become a preacher."I wanted
to become a comedian so I was
reading an exerpt from one of
Carson's monologues when he made
a joke about a Bible passage from
Mathew. "
"I had made up my mind to make
every effort to become rich and
famous. I began to recognize my
need for an internal prospective. I
reviewed my life and decided that I
was going to give my life to Jesus."
Caulk said.
"I decided to use my
communication skills for Him
(Jesus Christ) and not for my own
wealth and ego," he said.
