REGIONAL CHANGE CONFERENCE PLANS ANNOUNCED

 

The issues behind a potential economic and political confrontation will be examined at a symposium to be held here September 23‑27. The Conference, entitled "Alternatives to Confrontation: A National Policy Toward Regional Change," is being sponsored jointly by the LBJ School, the LBJ Library, and the University of Texas at Austin.

 

Participants will explore such topics as population shifts, economic growth and decline, energy policy, urban and rural problems, welfare reform, and unemployment in an effort to gain a broader perspective on the conflicts between the older industrialized regions of the Middle West, North and Northeast and the developing South and West.

 

The first two days of the conference will be a working session for a small group of academic and technical economic experts, who will define the issues and outline alternative solutions.

 

Presiding over this technical portion of the conference will be Dr. Alan K. Campbell, former LBJ School Dean and currently chairman of the U.S. Civil Service Commission. Participants from UT will include Professors John Gronouski, Kenneth Tolo, Victor Bach, and Jared Hazleton, LBJ School; Walt W. Rostow, Economics and History; David Kendrick, Economics; Niles Hansen, Economics; David Huff, Geography and Business Administration; George Kozmetski, Business Administration; and David Perry, Government.

 

The second half of "Alternatives to Confrontation" will be open to the public. These sessions will include open discussion of regional change by regional representatives, who will air their opinions on its implications for their particular areas, and by national figures and technical experts, who will offer national perspectives on the issues and set forth national policy alternatives.

 

Some of the Regional Representatives who will participate in this portion of the conference include: Governors Dolph Briscoe of Texas, Hugh L. Carey of New York, James Thompson of Illinois, David L. Boren of Oklahoma, and Richard B. Lamm of Colorado; Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall; Mayors Fred Hofheinz of Houston and Richard Hatcher of Gary, Indiana; Congressmen Charles Rose of North Carolina, Michael Harrington of Massachusetts, and Robert Krueger of Texas; and others. President Jimmy Carter was invited to attend and has indicated that if his schedule permits he would like to be in attendance.

 

Two publications will emerge from the conference proceedings. One will be a textbook on regional change consisting of the 10 papers presented at the Experts Conference. The other will be drawn from the public conference proceedings, including papers by Ray Marshall and others. Both publications will be edited by Victor Arnold, coordinator of the conference.

 

 

HAZLETON APPOINTED ASSOCIATE DEAN

 

Professor Jared E. Hazleton, an economist with broad experience in political economy and natural resource economics, has been named associate dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.

 

President Lorene L. Rogers approved his appointment upon recommendation of Dean Elspeth Rostow of the LBJ School.

 

A former president of the Southwestern Economics Association, Dr. Hazleton joined the Economics Department faculty in 1968 and taught there until 1972 when he moved to the LBJ School.

 

For almost two years during 1973‑75 he was on leave in the Middle East, serving under auspices of the Ford Foundation as an adviser on economic research to the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan. There, he assisted in developing a department of economic research and advised the Jordanian government in matters pertaining to economic development.

 

His background also includes four years (1964‑68) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, where he was successively a resource economist, research department manager and banking services officer. He also has been a part‑time consultant on sulphur economics to the Continental Oil Company.

 

Dr. Hazleton's expertise has been tapped frequently by the state government. He has been a consultant on land resource management to the Governor's Division of Planning Coordination. As a consultant to the Texas Finance Commission, he developed a feasibility study of state‑authorized insurance on deposits of banks and savings and loan associations. While a consultant to the Texas State Parks and Wildlife Department, he assisted in preparing the State Outdoor Recreation Plan.

 

He has held research grants for projects ranging from environmental planning on the Texas coast to the dissemination of fertilizer technology in underdeveloped countries. At the LBJ School, he is graduate adviser and has participated in policy research projects which have studied topics as diverse as the colonias of the Lower Rio Grande Valley and state transportation policies.

 

Dr. Hazleton is the author of five books and monographs, and about 40 articles, papers and research reports.

 

He earned the B.B.A. degree from the University of Oklahoma and the Ph.D. degree from Rice University. (UT News and Information)

 

 

"On the Record"

 

. The Office of Student Affairs acquired a new name this summer, and memorizing it will be each student's first major assignment. It will now be known as the Office of Admissions, Counseling, Internship and Placement—or, more simply, the OACIP.

 

. Orientation Week at the LBJ School is August 22‑26. The schedule begins at 9:00 a.m. Monday in the East Campus Lecture Hall with a welcoming address by Dean Elspeth Rostow. The sessions which follow will introduce first‑year students to the faculty, the academic program, the facilities, the campus, and the city (through optional tours). First-year students who wish to may register during the regularly scheduled UT registration period, August 22‑24. Those who need to wait for fellowship checks may register during the late registration period, August 29‑September 1.

 

. This summer Jared Hazleton, Associate Dean of the School and Professor of Public Affairs, was elected to UT's Graduate Assembly and to the Steering Committee of the World Order Program.

 

. Professor David Warner was appointed by President Lorene Rogers to serve on the new University Publications Committee, formed to establish University‑wide policies for publications programs and facilities.

 

. In August there will be a gathering of the LBJ alumni, interns, staff and faculty in the DC area. We look forward to a good gathering at the no host/hostess cocktail party at the Dubliner Pub, 4 F Street, NW on August 11th from 5:30 to 8:00 P.M.

 

. Several new staff members joined the LBJ School in June and July. Corkie Hilliard, training specialist in the Office of Conferences and Training, came in June from a position in a private consulting firm. Jean Land, senior secretary in the Office of Conferences and Training, came to the School in June from the Legislative office of Representative Leonard Briscoe. In mid‑June the Public Affairs Library acquired three new full‑time staffers and a page: Pat Ramage, cataloguer, was formerly a library assistant in the UT School of Social Work Library; Kathy Herzick, library assistant, came to LBJ from St. Edwards University Library; Margaret Flores moved from the School Business Office to work with the Library's circulation system; and Gary Hough, page (appointed on a half‑time basis), is a graduate student in Library Science. Marilyn Duncan, formerly editor in UT's Center for Middle Eastern Studies, became editor of the LBJ School Office of Publications in late July.

 

 

ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF LBJ BEGUN

 

The first stages of a proposed 5‑year project to compile an administrative history of the Presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson got underway this summer under the directorship of Emmette S. Redford, Ashbel Smith Professor of Public Affairs. The National Endowment for the Humanities provided $100,000 to inaugurate the project, which will consist of eight to ten volumes of case studies and special studies related to the Johnson Administration. The studies will be authored by scholars from the LBJ School as well as from other institutions in the U.S. The focus will be on the processes of active administration operating during Johnson's Presidency, including the implementation of Congressional legislation, policies initiated by the Chief Executive, staff appointments, and judicial decisions that affect executive responsibilities.

 

According to Dr. Redford, the series will represent the first comprehensive administrative history of a 20th century President. It is hoped that in adding this much‑needed perspective to the literature on one Presidency, a precedent will be set for similar studies of other administrations.

 

The first volume, to be authored by LBJ School Professors Dagmar Hamilton and Richard Schott, will concentrate on President Johnson's staff. The book, tentatively titled "The Policies of Presidential Appointments: Executive Staffing in the Johnson Administration," will expand on material gathered in the past year for a School Policy Research Project. The anticipated release date for the volume is Summer 1978. Other volumes in the comprehensive history will follow at regular intervals as studies are completed over the next five years.

 

 

WEINTRAUB CONDUCTING STUDY IN WASHINGTON

 

Dr. Sidney Weintraub, Dean Rusk Professor of Public Affairs, is one of four economics scholars in the U.S. selected to conduct a study for the State Department concerning development assistance programs for developing countries. The panel, working under the auspices of the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., is working on the assignment this summer and will release a report in early fall. Its aims are to assess the effectiveness of individual and multilateral assistance programs currently in operation, and to make recommendations for the future.

 

Dr. Weintraub has wide experience in the field of international economic policy, including service as assistant administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Finance and Development, and chief of the general commercial policy division of the State Department's Bureau of Economic Affairs.

WARNER PARTICIPATES IN CONFERENCE

 

David Warner participated in a small working conference in Boston on May 25‑26 on the future of the urban public hospital. This conference was convened by the National Commission on Public General Hospitals, which will make recommendations and present findings by the end of 1977. Warner directed a Program Analysis at the New York public hospital system in 1971‑72 and is currently on the board of Brackenridge Hospital in Austin. A case study he recently authored entitled "The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation" (LBJ School Working Paper #2) is being published as a chapter in a book entitled Innovation and Implementation in the Modern Public Sector, edited by Richard Nelson and Douglas Yates of Yale University and published by D C Heath.

 

 

SCHOTT WRITES ON JURY SYSTEM

 

A first‑hand observation of trial by jury in action was provided by Professor Richard Schott in the May issue of Trial Magazine. Schott's article was based on his recent experience as a juror in a civil case, an experience which left him with mixed feelings about the judicial process and the jurors' own rights. In reporting the details of the case, the trial proceedings, and the jury's deliberations, he shows how the human element enters the scene both to thwart and to aid his own attempts to judge the issues objectively. At the same time, he illustrates how the protocol restricted the decision‑making abilities of the jurors. He charges that they were kept ignorant of the law by being removed from the courtroom when points of law were discussed by the attorneys, and that this ignorance was supplemented by a lack of information about what would be permissible in deliberating the case. But despite the restrictions and inconveniences, he felt "there was substantial sentiment at the end of our forced association that we had rendered a public service and decided questions that might have far‑reaching implications for the equity of numerous local tax assessment authorities." He concludes with the observation "that jurors are legally controlled to an extent that violates many of the average citizen's constitutional rights to free speech and association. In many respects, the physical restrictions placed on a juror are coercive —similar to incarceration or military service. But perhaps the maintenance of the freedoms assured by our legal system requires that its citizens, as jurors, be temporarily deprived of some of theirs."

 

 

UIL COMMITTEE REPORT ISSUED

 

Dr. Emmette S. Redford, Ashbel Smith Professor of Public Affairs, recently served on a special advisory committee appointed by UT President Lorene Rogers to study the relationship between the University of Texas and the University Interscholastic League. The committee, after examining the broad range of UIL programs in Texas secondary schools, concluded that the relationship has been mutually beneficial to the University, the public schools, and the students. League programs, which involve interactions between UT professors and high school participants on the UT campus, were found to "exert measurable influence on the quality of education and the level of student achievement in the secondary schools of Texas," and to soften the transition between high school and college by familiarizing students with the campus and its activities.

 

 

ROSTOW ON ENERGY COMMITTEE

 

Dean Elspeth Rostow will serve on the six‑member executive committee appointed by Dr. Eldon Sutton, Vice‑President for Research, to govern UT's new Council on Energy Resources. The new council, was formed "to promote and coordinate research on energy resources and issues that are critical to the State of Texas and to the nation." Other committee members include Professors William Fisher (director, Bureau of Economic Geology), George Kozmetsky (dean, College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Business), James McKie (Department of Economics), Ernest Smith (dean, School of Law), and Herbert H. Woodson (chairman, Department of Electrical Engineering, and director, Center for Energy Studies).

 

 

NEW FACULTY FOR FALL

 

Two new assistant professors, both economists, will join the LBJ faculty in the Fall. Leigh B. Boske, Ph.D in Economics, University of Pittsburgh, comes to the School from the Division of Planning, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, where he has been Chief of Social, Economic and Environmental Analysis. His primary policy interests are in the areas of regulation and transportation.

 

This Fall, Professor Boske will be teaching two sections of the Political Economy microeconomics module, and one section of the Research & Management module in statistics.

 

Matthew D. Berman, Ph.D in Economics, Yale University, comes to UT from the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale. His fields of concentration are market organization and public policy, management of natural resources and resources policy, and comparative economic systems.

 

Professor Berman's fall course load will include four sections of the Political Economy macroeconomics module.

CAMPBELL PRAISED BY PRESIDENT CARTER

 

The following is an excerpt from President Jimmy Carter's remarks at the swearing‑in ceremony of four officials, including Alan K. Campbell, former LBJ School dean, as Civil Service Commissioner. The remarks were recorded in the May 16, 1977 issue of the "Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents."

 

"The U.S. Civil Service Commission is an area where policies are established protecting the basic rights of employees of our Government, and also where opportunities exist, I think, for better service of the professionals who have one life to live, who have decided to devote it on a full‑time basis—not just a part‑time basis, for elected officials—to service their fellow human beings. And quite often, there's a breakdown in that relationship between hard work in a bureaucracy, the protection of the employees' own rights, orderly promotion, adequate salary, and effectiveness of service.

 

"Alan Campbell had just agreed to go to the University of Texas. The Texans were very proud of him. And it was a notable achievement for the University to have acquired his services.

 

"When I asked him to come and take on this important job, he was in a quandry. And I can tell you that typical of Texans, they yielded to the greater interest of our country.

 

"And I'm very grateful that Alan Campbell has come. This is a thankless job, but it's one I believe that will tap his tremendous capabilities, background, and experience. He's come here at a sacrifice as well, because that's a very fine position that he had agreed to take originally, and I know he would have been proud to serve in that capacity.

 

"So these four people, different in their background, different in their future responsibilities, but having a common purpose to serve our country to the best of their own ability, is what brings us together this morning.

 

"Judge Griffin Bell will administer the oath of office to these people who make me proud to be President.

 

"Thank you very much."

 

 

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

 

The LBJ School Alumni Association has elected a new slate of officers to serve as the Association's Board of Directors for the next year.

 

The new Association President will be Dave West. He won this office by collecting 28 votes in the July election.

Dave is a 1975 graduate of the LBJ School and is currently employed by the Texas Supreme Court.

 

Jan Hart, a 1975 graduate, will be the new Vice‑President. Jan was unopposed in her bid for office and collected 48 of the 54 votes cast.

 

1974 Alumnus Lydia Gardner won an uncontested race for Secretary. She received 41 votes while four persons each received one write‑in vote.

 

Deborah Cartwright won a write‑in campaign to become the new Treasurer‑Fundraiser. Deborah is a 1976 graduate and received 6 votes to 4 for Bill Hamilton (1973). Eighteen other alumni received write‑in votes.

The new officers will serve from August 1, 1977 to July 31, 1978.

 

 

MEALS SYSTEM CONFERENCE HELD IN D.C.

 

A major conference on the NASA shelf‑stable meal system was held June 6‑7 in Washington, D.C. under the cosponsorship of the NASA LBJ Space Center and the LBJ School. The expressed purposes of the conference were to present results of the first demonstration of shelf‑stable meals for the elderly conducted in 1976 in Texas; to explore potential uses of the meal system for various public sector needs; to discuss a proposed national demonstration of the meal system for the elderly; and to provide an opportunity for an exchange of ideas among public sector and private industry representatives.

 

Participating in the conference from the LBJ School were Jurgen Schmandt, Lodis Rhodes, Peggy Wilson, and Ruth Roth, who, along with representatives from NASA and the UT Galveston Medical Branch, reported on the design, production, delivery, costs, and results of the 1976 demonstration of the system in Texas. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey gave the Keynote Address, entitled "Nutrition, Aging, and Public Policy," emphasizing the need for governmental programs for the elderly aimed at disease prevention. Representatives from a wide range of public and private organizations then met in plenary sessions and workshops to identify and address the issues, summarize background research, and make concrete plans of action.

 

The participants concluded that although the meal system could be adapted to other uses, its primary value is in providing hot meals for elderly who are unable to participate in other service programs or whose programs are conducted on a five‑day basis and leave a gap on weekends. Others identified as potential users were the handicapped of all ages, those in home health settings, and disaster and emergency victims.

 

Industry defined the system's major drawbacks as the high cost of producing single‑serving products and the problem of reaching the market. A task force was formed, composed of food industry representatives, social service representatives, nutritionists, and public officials from around the U.S., to formulate strategies for future action. One project to be undertaken will be the compilation of a directory of organizations interested in purchasing the shelf‑stable meals, along with a companion directory of food products currently available in single‑serving units. It is hoped that wider applications of the system, both geographically and market‑wise, will be forthcoming.
