The meeting was called to order, with quorum, at 1:00 p.m. by Faculty Senate President Muhammad.  2. Faculty Senate President Muhammad called for additions to the agenda. Two additions (academic calendar; division criteria) were offered by Faculty Senate Vice President Cortese.  Muhammad made the motion to approve the agenda with additions; Kasik seconded the motion. The agenda, with additions, was approved by unanimous voice vote.  3. Human Resources: Joyce Coleman, Associate Vice-President for Human Resources and Diversity, introduced herself. She has had 38 years of experience in HR, including work in a number of institutions of higher education. Ms. Coleman stated that she will later will share information about new initiatives. She invites input from faculty members, including members of the Faculty Senate.  2  4. Student Life: Sheree Sanderson, Assistant Dean of Students, provided preliminary information about Family and Friends Weekend, which will include homecoming events for alumni. Ms. Sanderson stated that there are representatives from all colleges, including 3 or 4 faculty members, on the organizing committee. She invites faculty input and participation. Ms. Sanderson also reported that an interim athletic director for the university has been hired.  5. Administration Updates:   Associate Provost Latham reported on applications for freshmen admssion. There have been 325 applications and 152 admissions granted. Of the 152, 62 were direct admissions, 58 requiring early start program in both math and English, 27 requiring early start program in math, and 5 requiring early start program in English. There are 16 confirmed admissions. In response to a question, Assoc. Provost Latham said that admissions does not yet have information about the high schools from which the admitted freshmen graduated/will graduate. Assoc. Provost Latham reported that there has been a substantial increase in requests for transfer admissions; there were 217 last year and 270 this year.  Associate Provost Mayfield reported on request for changing the process for approving off-campus delivery of existing programs. The request had asked for elimination of approval by UCC and APRC. She noted that the Faculty Senate Executive Committee expressed concerns about resources, especially faculty resources, and that Executive Committee recommends that APRC, but not UCC, continue to review these proposals. Amy Barsha expressed the administration’s desire for more efficient processing of proposals so student recruitment can proceed. Senator Hechenberger noted that there should be a way to find out where proposals are at each step in the process.  Assoc. Provost Mayfield stated that someone is looking at this tracking issue for his MA thesis, and that Provost Bordelon is also interested in making work flow more transparent.  Currently, the proposals go to the Provost's Office and requests for revisions, etc., are sent back to the department/division chairs.   Regarding the academic calendar, Faculty Senate President Muhammad stated that the Faculty Senate Executive Committee needs to discuss the impact of new scheduling on availability of faculty for Faculty Senate and other committees. Assoc. Provosts Latham and Mayfield expressed willingness to bring this information/concern to Provost Bordelon.  (Assoc. Provosts Mayfield and Latham and A. Barsha left the meeting at 1:34 p.m.)  6. Review  of February 2014 Senate Minutes: Faculty Senate Secretary noted that Senator Gandy had already provided some edits. Kasik made the motion to approve the minutes with any edits; Tymkow seconded. There was a brief discussion about Policy 56. The minutes were approved with one abstention and all others voting yes.    3 7. Faculty  Reports:   IBHE Faculty Advisory Committee: Faculty Senate Representative Cortese reported on three issues discussed at the IBHE FAC meeting held on Feb. 20. First, Senator Durbin has requested a bill on faculty/publisher relationship; IBHE FAC clarified this for Senator Durbin. The second issue was that of  not-for-profit oganizations’ alternative teacher licensure processes that do not include reviews or standards from IBHE. Third, Cortese noted that community colleges in other states have been authorized to grant baccalaureate degrees; currently, Illinois allows 3 + 1 programs. (See attached report.)  University Curriculum Committee: UCC Chair Parin provided guidelines for finding UCC forms online. There was a brief discussion about the university catalog and what materials are included in catalog addenda. There are concerns that changes will be made in the online catalog without DCC and UCC review.  Academic Program Review Committee: The new APRC Chair Rob Sinclair introduced himself. He noted that APRC had met this morning (March 6) to review the cyclical reports, and that APRC will meet physically only once per month on the first Thursday of the month.  Much of the committee’s work will be done online, but voting will be done during meetings. Dr. Sinclair noted that APRC is still waiting for two of the cyclical review reports; others being edited; one was sent back for clarification; one sent back for substantial revision. Dr. Sinclair will notify Assoc. Provost Mayfield about lack of reports from two programs.   Graduate Studies Council: Senate Representatie Tymkow reported on three items:  1. Guidelines for Graduate Capstones has been drafted by the Graduate Studies Council and has been sent out for comment to administrators and faculty members; April 3 is the deadline for providing feedback to Beth Cada; 2. Graduate Student Boot Camp will be held March 10-12; 3. Graduate Studies Council suggests that it be consulted during the development of proposals for new programs (degree/certificate).   Educational Policy Committee: EPC Chair Tamulis stated that the committee is continuing to review Policy 4 Student Conduct. He noted that this policy is very complicated and also very important, so the review is taking time. The Dean of Students has provided extensive input on this policy revision. For example, there has been discussion of the difficulty of dealing with academic dishonesty. Students’ agreement with faculty decisions in these matters should not be required. It is important to keep a  paper  trail, but at the same time retain faculty members’ ability to resolve issues at the course level and not encumber faculty members with responsibility for recording keeping and other administrative tasks.  Board of Trustees: There were subcommittee and full Board meetings on Feb. 28. Faculty Senate President Muhammad reported  that there was a two hour executive session from which faculty members were barred.  She noted that Provost Bordelon had reported to the Board on issues brought to her by the Faculty Senate, including emergency closings. Faculty Senate Vice President Cortese stated that Provost Bordelon has sent a response to concerns about the timing of system maintenance down times and about kick-out from  4 the portal. IT will not change the kick-out timing; they say it is within the typical 10 to 20 minutes. Senators reiterated their concerns about this. See attached report from Senator Ji, representative to the Budget and Finance Subcommittee. Faculty Senate President Muhammad asked that senators review the documents.  Bargaining Unit:   Senator Kasik, who is a member of the House of Delegates, reported that UPI local president Ruiz would like suggestions for resolutions for the House of Delegates.    Adjournment at 3:00 p.m.    Next Meeting:  April  17, 2014, 1:00-3:00 p.m.   Respectfully submitted,  Barbara Winicki Faculty Senate Secretary   Attached:  o IBHE FAC report o Board of Trustees Budget and Finance Subcommittee report   5 I B H E  F A C U L T Y  A D V I S O R Y  C O U N C I L  R E P O R T  T O  T H E  F A C U L T Y  ILLINOIS BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION FEBRUARY 20 2014 MEETING http://www.ibhe-fac.org/  Meeting began at 9:10am with an announcement that that Dr. Applegate has begun his term as Executive Director of the IBHE and has a standing invitation to attend FAC meetings.   Your IBHE Faculty Advisory Council representative (Dr. Daniel Cortese and Dr. Larry Levinson) request your consideration and recommendations on any or all of the following ACTION ITEMS:  Faculty Advisory Council has been contacted by Senator Durbin regarding the Affordable College Textbook Act (http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-bill/1704) that raises potential concerns about the relationship between faculty and publishers.  The bill is currently in committee. (ACTION REQUESTED) At the last IBHE meeting, one item on the agenda was “alternative educator licensure program for teachers by not-for-profit organizations.”  The concern of one FAC member was that IBHE has no criteria by statute that would allow them to evaluate a program such as this.  Therefore, these programs are de facto approved when they arrive. A moratorium on these programs, or establishing criteria outside of a statute would open IBHE up to lawsuits, which they are avoiding.  Should FAC respond to this issue and urge that criteria be developed?  (ACTION REQUESTED)  Dr. Robert Breuder, President of the College of DuPage (COD, host institution), indicated that half the States have authorized community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees in applied fields, where needs are not being met by four year institutions.  This model doesn’t currently exist in Illinois. COD, in moving in that direction, is pushing 3+1 programs; taking three years of courses at COD with a partner four year institution providing the final year of instruction at COD.  GSU was signaled out as an excellent example of how this works for students, institutions, and employers with their Nursing Program.  Is this relationship something that is of interest to other programs at GSU?  (FYI ONLY) In caucus meetings, Private institutions at FAC discussed the 3+1 model and the dynamic in the classroom.  What are the implications for four-year faculty?  The issue of teacher preparation programs and licensure issues were discussed; Privates will develop a position statement.  The Public institutions considered the federal textbook bill (above), 3+1 programs, PARCC and Common Core issues flagged in earlier meetings and detailed in previous reports, and preparing for our April meeting with the IBHE.  The Community College institutions focused on perceptions of their sector and implications of 3+1. (FYI ONLY) In the interest of health of students, faculty, and staff, UIUC has gone smoke-free, including e—cigarettes, following a number of top Medical Universities that encourage quitting.

Franczek, Radelet PC, at an amount not to exceed $75,000 to be used for legal services as needed. This contract was amended in December, 2012 to an amount not to exceed $125,000.  The increase was used to provide additional work for the University on ongoing litigation.  Recommended Contract Amendments: At this time the General Counsel recommends the University amend the contract term of its existing legal contracts to July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2016, thereby exercising the option to extend the legal services contracts for an additional two years as follows:  Laner, Muchin, Dombrow, Becker, Levin and Tominberg Ltd, a $200,000 increase in the total contract amount, to $600,000.

December 23, 1974 VaL A,, No. 17 !' ' ' .. : A most critical element of product evaluation at GSU is the faculty's work in evaluating students' achievement on competencies and thus on degree requirements. Enormous effort is devoted to defining module objectives, making them explicit in advance, and making known the means of assessment in advance. The development of a university­wide competence-based educational program at GSU has been a difficult, time-consuming task, best characterized as herculean. It is the evaluators' judgement that this work is competently done and sound standards are maintained. Our appraisal included examination of portfolio assess­ment for the Board of Governors B. A. degree as well as discussion with faculty of all the colleges as to the nature and difficulties of a competency-based assessment system. --Dr. Donald J. McCarty, Team Chairman Exit interview of the North Central Association Site Visit Team ' The strength of any university is its faculty. This faculty was attracted to GSU for what GSU stands for, stood for and what it will be. It is a deeply committed faculty, deeply committed to the life of this instit­ution. It is very dedicated to teaching. It ought to be nurtured and carefully supported so that it may continue to remain the strong­est part of this University.

A year ago we were begbming our DJOVe to tlte pel'Dlanent campus. Now a year later, and in just our fourth year of classes, we have completed an accreditation site visit by a team comprise-d of exceptionally talented individuals. The team was impressed by the dedication of our staff and students, moving one member to say, "f wish you could package your recipe for energy." Elsewhere in this issue of FAZE 1 are the team's specifically noted strengths and areas of concern as discussed briefly at the exit interview Wednesday. Most assuredly, the prospects for full accreditation this Spring are promising. For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the product of the enormous energies and committment required to build a new and hopefully better kind of university, we can take pride. We have been complimented on our efforts by a distinguished visiting team from the North Central Association. For me personally, it is indeed an honor to be associated and to work with the talented and dedicated individuals who make up the GSU community. I hope to see many of you at the GSU "Year End Blast" on Saturday night. But may I also take this opportunity to wish all of our faculty, staff and students and their families a very happy holiday season and best wishes in the year ahead. --William E. Engbretson, President STRENGTH AND DEDICATION . . •  repeatedly, the members of the accreditation site visit team from the North Central A ssociation cited the University's faculty for their deep committment, energy and talents. Such commendation does not come lightly from such a distinguished team. And the team also noted the enormous strength provided by our students who were described as a basic strength of the University . We would like to add our deep and abiding support for and faith in the GSU faculty and students. Particularly, we would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation and efforts of all those in the academic wing, not only for the three days of the accreditation site visit, but from the earliest days of our University. --Mary P. Endres Al Martin Doug Davis SYSTEMS CUT OFF • . .  by the Computing Center at 4 p.m. on Dec. 24 may require your rearranging your work schedule in the Terminal Room.

GREETINGS LRC STYLE . • •  This year, instead of sending individual Xmas card greetings to their GSU staff friends and coll�agues, a number of LRC staff nembers have decided to contribute the cost of �he cards and postage to the GSU Emergency Fund for students.Their wish is for happy holidays to lll. GSU HOLIDAYS AND ENERGY ... During the period Dec. 21 to Jan. 2, GSU will partly curtail operations to conserve energy. Basically the new hours will keep GSU closed during evenings and weekends as well as the Xmas holiday Dec. 25 & 26 and New Years, Dec. 31 & Jan 1. It is estimated these energy saving measures will also save the University appro� $10,000. GSU will be open as follows: Dec. 21 8:30 a.m. - Noon Dec. 23 8:30 a . m . - 5 p.m . Dec. 24 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Dec. 27 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Dec. 30 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. The "Year End Blast" will take place as scheduled Saturday evening, Dec. 21. But onl) the EAS area will be open and entry to the building will be via the east entrance. At all other times, GSU will be closed excep· to essential operating personnel, and heat, light and power will be reduced to minimum levels. Normal operations resume Jan. 2. -3-EXIT' INTERVIEW • . .  on Wednesday, Dec._ 18, 1974 by the site visit team from the North Cen�ral Association of Colleges and Secondarv Schools is summarized below. This is not the official Team report which the University wili ·receive within six weeks. tt is, however, an indication of the Team observations and the results of the three day visit which will be elaborated upon in the written �eport: STRENGTHS CITED: 1. CLEAR GOALS. GSU has clear, well articulated goals, well understood hy it:,; various constituencies. 2. STAFF. The GSU staff is of high quality, creative, flexible and highly committed. Morale is generally good though flawed by some who object to a perceived heavy workload. 3. INSTRUCTION.Good instruction is going on, competency based and interdisciplinary. (see statement on p. 1 concerning competency-based effort) 4. STUDENTS. GSU students are a real asset to the University. Serving students as they are. Impressed with the maturity, self-directedness & willingness to assist development of the University. Minority, working, commuting students were indeed being served. 5. FISCAL SUPPORT. Good from the State. Salaries good. Civil Service Support good. Enrollment base seems secure. Twelve mo. contract real asset to faculty. 6. COMMUNITY SERVICE. Impressed with efforts including community professors, community councils, new community service wing, and staff willingness to contribute. 7. LRC & ICC. Positive support for the instructional program, well financed & accessible. 8. R & I . Institutional data studies extremely valuable. 9. FACILITY. Exciting facility with great deal of potential. Clearly, great deal of plannin 10. AUTOMATIC CHANGE MECHANISMS. Personnel systems, five year review of organization, Assembl 11. ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP. Impressed by many including BOG and its Exec. Officer. AREAS OF CONCERN: 1. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. Suggested study the centralized v. decentralized notion again. Also suggestion that the University might be overcommitteed. 2. A & R. Records called honendous problem. Only 90% accuracy noted plus 7 mo. backlog. 3. DEADLINES. Lack of adherence to deadline dates in reporting records by some colleges. 4. PHASE II MONEY . Dissappointed as a Team that Phase II money not there. Urged BOG and BHE to act favorably on next phase of GSU. 5. ADVISING . Students need orientation in this environment. Noted no foreign student advisor despite having foreign students. Need to increase services to students. 6. COMPUTER. Making some headway, but clearly a serious problem at this time. 7. COMMUNICATIONS. increase in size and physical seperation has contributed to communications problems. People need to know what's going on. 8. FACILITIES. Noise and lack of confidentiality. Size & ,wnditlon of classrooms rather s tand:IT (hcati�� contributes to flawed morale) 9. COOPERATIVE EDUCATION. Cuurently far less than stated goals. Perhaps teaching faculty not committed to it. 10. SIM's. Not sure that people understand that the cost of producing SIM's is high in staff tirn Behind stated goal. .--------------�E:\JE:NT��---------...., MONDAY,December 23 8:30 a.m. 9:00 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 3:00p.m. TUESDAY,December 24 8:30 a . .  - 12 noon 1:30 p.m. WEDNESDAY,December 25 THURSDAY,December 26 FRI DAY,December 27 10:00 a .m.-1! noon 12:00 noon - 1:00 p.m. 12:00 noon - 1:30 p.m. 3:00 p.m. SATURDAY,December 28 TUESDAY,December 31 WEDNESDAY,Januarr 1 THURSDAY,January 2 Academic Affa irs Staff R & I Staff R & I Coordinators Meeting CHLD Faculty Rep Assembly VPs' Meet with President (PCA) LRC Staff MERRY CHRISTMAS MERRY CHRISTMAS Computer Meeting(PCA) AFSCME, Local 2770 Union Meeting(CCC) Exec utive Committee (A & R Conference Area) Community Staff(PCA) SSAC Ski Trip HAPPY NEW YEAR HAPPY NEW YEAR F irst Day J/F 175 Session

No. 8 HIGHER EDUCATION PRIORITIES ... The final report of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education titled "Priorities for Action" is published in toto minus a few tables and footnotes in the Oct. 9 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. Among its observations, "There has been a basic erosion of affection for and interest in education, including higher education. A sense of confidence once lost is not easily restored." and "The benefits of higher education, actual and potential, dwarf the costs, whether viewed in monetary or human terns." and a more upbeat note "Higher Education is more and more potentially capable of exercising leadership within all of education and society." What does it all mean? You'll have to read the report to find out. MINI-GRANT IN ��I-HURRY ... Deadline for fa­culty, staff, and student mini-grant propo­sals is Oct. 15.

This decision is based on the fact that the computer shares many attributes with the female sex. The GSU computer is admired for its configuration. It has the ability of total recall and cor­rects all our mistakes. It also predicts our future foolishness. And, of course, it's always right."

While GSU still struggles with the remnants of the current fis­cal year's operating budget, the 10 public uni­versities in Ill. have asked for a 15.9% FY 7 5  increase, or $7 0 million more than the total current operating budget. The SHE is no� re­viewing the request (which includes $ 1 .5 mil­lion for GSU approved by the BOG up from the current $7.7 level). Also being reviewed is the tuition policy and a possible recommenda­tion for increased tuitions at public univer­sities. SURPRISE OF THE WEEK ... Real food arrived in the commons prompted by Rick Morris, Food Service Director for Automatique, the vendor of the Phase I facilities cafeteria. Even the food machines blushed at the cold cuts and fresh fruit display that seemed to at­tract a sizeable group of eaters ( or is that a group of sizeable eaters?) In any event, look for more buffets in the Commons. NEWSPRINT SHORTAGE ... GSU news is being affect­ed by the newsprint problem. Though we seem to get our fair share of media coverage, the newspapers are limiting the number and length of stories, using less pictures and concentra­ting on priority stories. Understanding and cooperation with the media by the Office of � nicat�ns has been an appreciated neces-The Campus Report o£ the University of Illinois at Urbana­Champaign recently carried the following letter with an intro­ductory note from the Chancellor: To :Memben of the Faculty and Other Readers of Campus Report I thought rou might find the followiag letter from Presideat Edmund J.

The position i� one full of re­spomibiliry, ha manr annoyance\ con:tected with it anti i� strr-nuous to a degree. While there is some prospect that we m:t; ha\·e some bettu housing and better equipment for our music school than we have at present, this is still only a prospect and ought not to be looked upon at all as an inducement to any one to come. If the enlarged facilitie.i and opportunitic:5 are n:alli:ed so much the better; if they are not, the Director is not expected to grumble and find fanlt. We wish any man who comes to throw himself into the work with a large degree of energy and with a determination to mal:e the utmost of such opportunities u the Uni­versity accords. The appointment is from year to year. If the Director should not make good be would he t.'lpected of course to step aside and make way for some one who can make good or who is more promising. No one ought to take the position who does not fed that he c.·m s;;,fdy with due n:gard to his health put forth his utmost effort all the time while he holds the posi­tion. Wrule he should hope that in the c0\11"Se of time the salary might be advanced, then: is at present no definite prospect of such an advantt nor any promise whotever that such an :Jd\·ance will he made or as to the time when it may be made.

The BHE proposed 6% tuition increase is in for some legislative wars. A press release by the Republican Majority of the Illinois House of Representatives quotes Rep. James Washburn [R-Morris], Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, as saying he will vigorously oppose any tuition increases at State universities. Washburn has asked the BHE to reconsider saying that "The recommendation, in its current fonn, is totally unacceptable." Washburn indicates that he will do whatever he can " ... to see that such an ill-timed recom­mendation does not get out of the appropriations committee." GSU went on record last year in opposition to a tuition·hike and President Engbretson has reaffirmed that same posjtion for the University this year. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION ... meeting in Chicago March 10-13 includes GSU participation on several occasions.

The !louse speaker's remarks will be addressed to higher education, energy and other concerns affecting the citizens of Illinois. WHY DO STUDENTS COME TO GSU? According to R & I data of the last year, minority stu­dents come to GSU because of the low cost followed in order by 8 week calendar, curric­ulum, innovative environment, and location. Non-minority students rank location first, followed by curriculum, cost, innovative environment and 8 week calendar. As to whether students would go to college at all if GSU were not in existence, fully a quar­ter of the students surveyed said they would not. GSUings . • .

Schedule Two,giving complete registration information, has now been mailed to all students in anticipation of August 20, 21 and 22 when centralized registration for September/October and November/December sessions will take place. The Hall of Governors will be the location for the actual registration and fee paying. Students need to receive registration forms from their colleges before taking part in the procedures in the Hall of Governors. A bumper crop of students is expected to participate in GSU's first try at cen­tralized registration. It might be wise to keep an eye on the (sand)pitfalls. The S/0 session begins September 3 and ends October 25. The N/D session begins October 29 and ends December 21. Class contact hours for S/0 have been increased to 15 per unit of credit. Every module descrip­tion will present a schedule of contact time between students and coordinators in such forms as student designed seminar presentations, lab experiments, observation of media materials, to men­tion just a few available delivery systems of instruction. BOOKSTORE COMPLETION ... is going on now. Perman­ent shelving is being put in and the process is expected to take approximately two weeks. For this reason, textbooks for the September/October session will not be available for sale until the first day of classes. PRAIRIE STATE AND GSU ... have done some innovative combining of forces to give students a 4 year path to the bachelor degree without leaving the immediate geographical area. The mechanics in­clude a 2-step cooperative so that students ad­mitted to Prairie State receive a conditional admission to Governors State. Programs are matched at both places. Additional information on this program may be secured from either the Prairie State admissions office or AL MARTIN, or HARVEY GRIMSLEY of GSU's Community College Relations unit. UNION NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED ... as FAZE I went to press, word was received that the BOG and administration negotiators had requested a negotiation session on Thursday, August 15 instead of waiting for the one scheduled for August 20 and 21. The strike vote meeting scheduled for Friday, August 16 at noon in the Com­munity Conference Center, will take place as planned. At that time, there should be some word as to how the nego­tiations are progressing so that action can be determined on the basis of most recent information possible. FACULTY CAUCUS VOTES TO SUPPORT ... a resolu­tion stating that Civil Service personnel have the right to organize, call upon the ad­ministration to bargain in good faith, and to strike. Faculty members were encouraged to support the strike in whatever way they felt was personally appropriate. GSUings ... JlM GALLAGHER (CEAS) writ�ng on "Secondary Science Teacher_Education : Where are w.e Going?" for a recent issue of Science Education . . •  TINA McBRIDE (CBPS) being quoted in a lengthy local artic_le about the "Panel of American Women" and their fight against bigotry ... Returning vacationers include RUSS HOLLISTER (CEAS) from the Northwest where he visited the Spokane Fair, ESTHEL ALLEN (PO) from Hawaii and BETTY ELLIOTT (E & I) from Spain ... GSU students appearing in the news of late include ROLAND M. BIGSON (former CHLD student) being appointed vice president of Charles A. Davis & Associates, public relations and minority affairs consultants--PATRICIA HAHTO (former CCS student and member of the GSU-USO Overseas Tour) becoming an English teacher at Thornridge H.S.--LARRY A. SHAPIRO (former CBPS student) joining the Alsip Bank in its manage­ment training program • . •  and then there's CATHY SMITH (former CHLD student and currently a reporte for the Star-Tribune) writing about ANKE CULVER (wife of LOWELL CULVER, CBPS) and a new approach to teaching German and utilizing the language skill in the business world. It's a small world for GSUers. DEPOSITS ARE BEING MADE . . •  in the Federal Deposi­tory Library Selections. LRC is requesting in­put regarding specific categories of docwnents and subject areas to be selected. Please con­tact your liaison librarian or BETTY ROIZMAN, Government Documents Librarian at ext. 2337. LOCKJAW CURED ... and the HLD/LRC Tattler tells all. All about Government Documents and the "Feds·." and the differences between state and federal publications and what the general rules are. The two-sided Tattler is chock full of tasty information presented in a factual manner sprinkled with tongue-in-cheek observations. Well worth reading for both knowledge about what's new in LRC and for a chuckle or two when the weather gets you down. HOT, HOTTER, HOTTEST ... is the forecast for all of Building "C" while some needed re-wiring goes on. It's a shame it can't be done when the per­sonnel is out of the building or during the win­ter when a bit of "hot air" might be well re­ceived. If you would like an accurate tempera­ture reading (at least in the administrative area on the third floor) check with BETTY ELLIOTT (R & I) whose Sp::mish thermometer gives the t�­erature in both fahrenheit and centigrade. Ole! COOL OFF AT A PICNIC . . •  the first Labor Day com­munity picnic of Park Forest will be held Sat­urday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1.
