Kauffman Gets $32,400
Science Foundation Grant
Dr. George B. Kauffman, pro¬
fessor of chemistry at Fresno
State College, has been awarded
a $32,400 grant to write a 'His¬
tory of Coordination Chemistry.*
«• This is the 11th grant he has
received since Joining the FSC
faculty in 1956. The National
Science Foundation gave him the
grant under the History and Phil¬
osophy of Science Program of thu
Social Science Division.
Dr. Kauffman's investigation of
Coordination Chemistry began
when he wrote a biography of
Alfred Werner who won the Nobel
Prize in 1913 for his work In the
field.
In s review of the biography
Dr. Kauffman's work was des¬
cribed as being of One ability and
DR. GEORGE B. KAUFFMAN
C. Bailer, Jr.
Bailer Is considered to be the
dean of Coordinating Chemistry
in the United States.
As explained by Dr. Kauffman,
coordinating compounds and the
results of their chemical action
are found regularly in every day
life.
•They're related to all life pro¬
cesses," he said. "Hemoglobin In
blood is s coordinating compound
of Iron. The compounds are also
used In dyes, water softners and
electroplating."
He said research is going on
continually but "since the com¬
pletion of my Werner biography
we are in need of a text on their
history and experiments, (co¬
ordinating compounds)
At least two years will be
needed to complete the book and
possibly more. It will deal
primarily with the history of re¬
search in the field.
Speaking from an author's
standpoint, Dr. Kauffman feels
that  he  'might  have bitten off
Journalism Deportment
Is Fifth In The Notion
A bronze medallion was

Journalism Department for fifth

scholarships and grants through
this program presented the
over-all first-place gold medal¬
lion to Kansas State University
for scoring the highest number of
points contributed, by partici¬
pating students during the six-
month writing competition.
Contributing to FSC's success
was   Gary  Brown,  who placed
10th In feature writing In Novem¬
ber, and also placed 18th In Jan-
Wayne SUva tied for third place
In Investigative and interpretive
writing and Ryan Marty and Carol
Brugman placed third and fifth
respectively for general news
writing In March.
The fifth place finish repre¬
sents the highest the department
has placed since the contests

San JOSE State College, the only
other California school In the top
ten, was awarded as liber medal¬
lion tor Its second-place finish.
Other universities and colleges

But, authorship Is nothing new
to him. To his credit U especial

42 papers presented at the
Werner Centennial Symposium.
It was held last September by the
American Chemical Society In
New York City.
He has also written over 70
technical papers and 25 book re¬
views oh chemistry, history and
education.

Each year the host school of
the MUN rotates among the three
divisions In a repetitive three
year cycle. With Lewis and Clark
College from the northern di¬
vision this year, FSC's chance to
bid for the session two years
hence hinged on the by-laws
change. FSC was backed for the
change by the University of Cal¬
ifornia at Santa Cruz and Pacific
College. Both Institutions were
also affected by the change.
Ironically, the University of
Utah and BYU neglected to voice
opposition to the by-laws change
and missed their chance to block
passage of the measure.
The executive Committee
composed of the head delegates
of the 110 member schools, heard
Walke present the FSC bid

FSC Faculty
Recruiting Dips
tty MARK DALLAL
Although Fresno state College
has not been affected as dras¬
tically as some of the other state
colleges In recruiting faculties
for the 1967-68 academic year,
only 69 per cent of hiring needs
at FSC have been met as of April
Dr. Dallas A. Tueller, aca¬
demic vice president, reports
that 10 fulltime positions have
been filled in the last two weeks.
"This is more heartening than we
anticipated," he said, "butfinding
qualified people will be extremely
difficult now. Most candidates
have   accepted   positions   else-
At the beginning of the winter
hiring period there were 110 po¬
sitions to be filled at FSC. These
Included turnover, sabbatical
leave replacements, additional
workload positions, and conver¬
sion of several positions from
parttlme to fulltime.
State College Chancellor Glenn
S. Dumke said Thursday at a
meeting of the Board of Trustees
that student applications had in¬
creased 28 per cent while only
450 of 2,135 faculty vacancies
have been filled.
According to Chancellor Dum¬
ke, student applications have in¬
creased more than 28 per cent
over last year. Statewide the col¬
leges have received 74,464 new
applications for all admission,
which is an increase of 16,078
compared to the same time In
1966.
As a result some colleges have
curtailed enrollment and others
wUl probably do so this summer.
A disturbing factor for the
California State Colleges Is the
Increase in staff turnover. The
rate at FSC this year Is seven
per cent, which is slightly higher
than recent years, according to
Harold Greene, director of com¬
munity relations at FSC. For the
system It was 11.4 per cent as of
mid-March.
Unless better salary struc¬
tures and other working con¬
ditions are provided, Dr. Tueller
points out that It will be difficult
for the Board of Trustees and *
the state colleges to maintain the
quality of education for which
California Is noted.
Many reasons are given for the
current recruiting problems:
1. The faculty shortage Is
blamed In part on Governor Ron¬
ald Reagan's budget trimmings
which caused a three-month
freeze on faculty hiring.
2. Severe competition nation¬
wide for professors who have
doctorates or are In the process
of completing them.
3. Better salaries elsewhere,
with the differentials ranging
from |1,000 to $25,000 and more.
This is particularly true for po¬
sitions at the assistant and as¬
sociate professor levels.
4. Lesser teaching loads else¬
where, including fewer prepara¬
tions for classes and subjects.
5. Inability to provide single
offices and research time, as Is
done at most leading colleges
and universities.
The Chancellor's Office points
out that these unfavorable com¬
petitive conditions have resulted
In a variety of unfortunate hiring
