Doctoral program to get clinical director
by SHEILA GRUBER
LIFE Editor
Some of the recommendations
made by a visiting consultant
last spring are moving from
paper to practice in Central's
lone doctoral program.
As recommended by Peter
Nathan in April, the Doctorate
of Psychology degree program
has created a new director of
clinical psychology position'
The doctoral . unit, charged
with overseeing the 31-student
program, Friday approved a tentative job description for the
new faculty member, said Roger
Van Horn, coordinator of the
doctoral unit.
Nathan, of Rutgers University. New Brunswick. N.J.. recommended the position following
his   pre accreditation    visit   to
CMU April 19 and 20. According
to Michael Kent, chairman of the
Psychology Department.
Nathan was chosen by the
University from a list of possible
consultants supplied by the accreditation agency. the
American Psychological
Association.
"APA recommends you have
an experienced psychologist
come out and take a look at it...
to see where we line up. It is
preliminary to accreditation."
Kent said.
According to the tentative
charge approved Friday, the
new director will be responsible
for maintaining the program's
compliance with APA
guidelines; teaching, and serving as a professional role model
for clinical faculty members and
students.
The nine-member doctoral
unit will send its proposal to
members of the department,
who will discuss a job description for the new director Friday,
Van Horn said.
"APA will not accredit us
without  a  clinical  director ...
to apply." Van Horn said.
A national search for the new
director has begun and Van
Horn said they hope to have someone hired by Fall 1983. One
application already has been
received, and there is no
deadline for applying. Van Horn

Consultant report
well-kept secret

The Administration has refused to release an outside "consultant"
recommendations and evaluation of the University's only doctoral
program.
The   "consultant"
was   hired   by
Central   to   make   a   pre-

Hiring another faculty
member also- will help the
department meet what Van
Horn said was "Nathan's second
major area of
recommendation —for the program to be more diverse and
flexible.
"It is consistent with the
recommendation to find
somebody for the director position from the outside. We can
combine the two recommendations by bringing in somebody
from the outside."
In his report, which the Administration and department
refuse to disclose. Nathan said
CMU's program is "heavily
egoanalytic." Kent said.
"Egoanalytic" philosophy may
have originated from Sigmund
Freud teachings, but also includes  neo-Freudian and  other
traditional approaches to
therapy. Van Horn said.
The 5-year-old program was
created as an applied, service-
oriented program to provide
more clinically-oriented experience for students.
"Nathan feels it would improve the program by expanding the philosophy." said Kent,
explaining, "in developing a program you rely on and emphasize
the strengths of (of faculty
members), and build from
there."
Diversity of the program was
Nathan's biggest criticism. Van
Horn said. "He was only here
two days. In some ways I don't
think he got a valid feeling about
how much diversity there is."
In addition to hiring faculty
members      from      different

The Chippewa football team had a change in* its game plan on their flight home Sunday from Greenville. N.C. Heavy fog forced the plane to land in Detroit where the players
waited more than two hours for buses, originally waiting in Saginaw, to pick them up and

the volume of the music.
A number of partiers became
belligerent with the officers and

"The guys on patrol said they
went to the house earlier about
the noise and everyone
cooperated," said City Police

Budget belts

Busted
2 arrested for dealing 'homemade hash'
by SANDY McHUGH
LIFE News Editor
When     Gov.     William     G.
Milliken   puts   his   name   to   a
Legislature-approved budget, appropriations for higher education
will be signed and sealed — the question is. will they be delivered?
If last year is any indication, state-funded colleges and universities might count on tightening the budget belt a few notches,
especially since the Legislature, along with the executive branch,
have tampered with the 1981-82 fiscal year budget so much no one is
quite sure what goes where anymore.

Two men were arrested
Saturday evening by the
Department of Public Safety and
charged with attempted larceny
under false pretenses after they
tried to sell homemade
"hashish" to residents of Thorpe
and Carey halls.
Both men. whose names are
being withheld pending their appearance in court, are in their
late 20s and are believed to be
from Lansing and Mecosta, said
John McAuIiffe. director of
Public Safety.
"These two guys had a concoc
tion of corn syrup and another
substance and were trying to
sell it as hashish." he said.
Calls from hall residents who
had been offered the
substance alerted officers of the
situation. McAuIiffe said.
The two were arrested outside Thorpe Hall by DPS officers
who confiscated 15. one-ounce
pieces of the hardened mixture
wrapped in foil, along with a 16-
ounce bottle of corn syrup used
in the production of the bogus
. dr-g-
The men were requesting a
price of $95 per ounce, McAuIiffe
said.
"We're not sure exactly how
they made the stuff," he said.
"Ma'ybe they put it on a cookie
sheet."
DPS ran criminal records on
the men and found extensive
criminal histories, including involvement in armed robbery.-
unarmed robbery,
manslaughter,     burglary     and
drugs.
The men are lodged in
Isabella County Jail where bond
will be set for both today.
