FORUM DEBATE FOCUSES ON TUITION

Tuition took center stage at the Budget Reduction Advisory Committee forum June 3 at Michigan Tech.

The committee has put forward a fifth budget scenario that calls for an across-the-board 19.5 percent tuition hike. Its previous four scenarios changed Tech's tuition structure from a flat rate to a per credit hour charge of $241 or $230, with an additional fee for students in engineering and computer science programs of $400 a semester. For some students, tuition could actually fall slightly in certain scenarios. For engineering students taking a heavy load of classes, however, tuition could rise over 40 percent.

Robert Johnson, chair of the humanities department, defended the per credit hour tuition strategy. Students taking more credits would pay more, but they would also complete their degrees sooner, he said.

Students who take fewer credits would also benefit, said Dean of Engineering Robert Warrington. In particular, students who work while going to school and take longer to graduate wouldn't be penalized.

A member of the audience asked if the engineering and computer science areas would benefit from the proposed surcharge on their students' tuition. Not directly, said Pam Eveland, director of planning and budgeting. What it will mean is that other students won't be subsidizing those programs as heavily.

However, with the additional tuition revenues, the College of Engineering could be more able to hire new faculty in high-demand programs, Warrington said.

Dean of Business and Economics Keith Lantz said that charging more for an engineering program makes sense from a business perspective. If you have a lead product, you can charge more for it.

A member of the audience said that assessing tuition by the credit hour could discourage students from taking dual majors. Warrington said that students who take on a second major are adding value to their education, making them more marketable and yielding a higher salary. There's no reason they shouldn't pay for that enhancement, he said.

Business professor Jim Gale asked how the proposed tuition increases would affect enrollment. "We really don't know," Provost Kent Wray said. Preliminary data suggests that it won't be a big problem--applications and acceptances are up about 5 percent this year. Plus, other universities are contemplating tuition hikes as well, though perhaps not as high.

Nevertheless, the University is budgeting for a 5 percent enrollment decrease. "If we can hold our own, we'll be better off than our estimate," Wray said.

So why the new proposal for an across-the-board 19.5 percent tuition increase? "We'd like to move toward a differential tuition," Eveland said. However, without further study, the Board of Control may not be willing to take that risk.

Also at the forum, a mining engineering student asked why more wasn't being done to save his program, which is slated for elimination. Gary Neumann, executive director of enrollment management, reported that only three high school students in the state and 40 in the entire U.S. are interested in majoring in mining engineering. With that number of students, Warrington said, industry has suggested that the country can only support two mining engineering programs.

And president Curt Tompkins reported that, in his talks with alumni, no one has come forward to lead a campaign to endow the program.

The Board of Control is expected to act on the budget, including tuition, on June 25.

TECHNOLOGY GETS A REPRIEVE

The School of Technology will remain intact next year.

At Tuesday's open forum with the Budget Reduction Advisory Committee, Provost Kent Wray announced that President Curt Tompkins had decided not to eliminate the School of Technology, at least for another year.

MICHIGAN TECH FUND TO RELOCATE

The Michigan Tech Fund will have a new home by the end of the year. The Fund's offices will move to the top three floors of the Republic Bank building in Hancock.

The move will save $300,000 over the next five years, according to Gail Mroz, chief financial officer at the Fund. Over 10 years, the Fund expects to save more than $700,000.

"Our current lease was structured several years ago," Mroz said, "and a group of Michigan Tech Fund trustees stepped forward to see if we could get a better deal."

Led by Ed Fisher, a trustee of the fund and just-retired chemical engineering professor, the group negotiated a more favorable lease with Republic Bank.

"I appreciate the efforts of trustees and staff to examine all suitable options for housing the Tech Fund offices," said Fred Hensley, senior vice president for advancement and marketing. "This move will allow us to redirect precious resources to efforts that will contribute to the continued growth of the Michigan Tech endowment and other university needs."

Mroz said the Fund will complete the move by the first of November. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses will remain the same.

"One thing we were very concerned about was the network," Mroz said. "We need the same performance that we enjoy now. We looked at vendors, but Michigan Tech's Telcom came back with the most competitive price and a better solution.

"The facility will be comparable to what we have now, including access to a community/training room in Republic. With the kind of savings we are looking at, we really couldn't turn this down."

She pointed out that, while not as convenient to the campus, the Republic Bank building is still only about two miles away.

Other university offices at UPPCO, such as Internal Audit and Institutional Analysis, have separate leases with the power company and are not affected by the move.

BECKWITH AND TUORINIEMI NAMED DISTINGUISHED TEACHERS

by Laura Walikainen, student writer

Professor Mary Ann Beckwith (Fine Arts) is this year's Distinguished Teaching Award winner in the associate professor/professor category. Joel Tuoriniemi, lecturer in the School of Business and Economics, is the recipient of the 2003 award in the assistant professor/lecturer category.

"She is a truly marvelous teacher and believes that there is always something new to learn or someplace to improve," said one of Beckwith's students.

"I believe that the students have a lot to teach me," said Beckwith, who has been teaching painting, drawing and design at the University for 30 years. "Every day in the classroom is a challenge to figure out a new way to make students express themselves and let go and be creative. My courses are always evolving with the new things I learn and the things the students share with me."

Beckwith previously won this award as an assistant professor and has been nominated numerous times since then.

"This award recognizes that she's an absolutely committed teacher," said Milton Olsson, chair of the fine arts department. "She takes a great degree of personal interest in her students beyond the classroom, and this is what makes her such a great teacher."

"I love people," Beckwith said. "So many things occur between the students and myself that help me to learn about life and about the arts, that I guess I can't help myself but really care. The reward of teaching is knowing you've touched someone's mind, heart and soul."

Another of Beckwith's students said that she "has a passion for teaching, for people and for life that is shown by her everyday."

"I'm teaching a subject that I absolutely love," said Beckwith. "Teaching people to draw and paint and express themselves creatively is something that I enjoy so much. And watching people grow and find out they can do these things is so rewarding that I guess I still carry that enthusiasm with me after all these years."

One of Joel Tuoriniemi's students commented that "because of his genuine concern and enthusiasm about teaching and engaging students, he deserves an A++++!"

"I try to put myself in the position of the student. I ask myself, if I was a student in the classroom, what would be the most enjoyable and effective way to understand a certain topic," said Tuoriniemi, who has been teaching at MTU for three years.

Tuoriniemi received his bachelor's degree from Michigan Tech in business administration before going on to earn his law degree. He teaches courses on business law, accounting and tax.

Keith Lantz, dean of the School of Business and Economics, is "delighted about his performance," when asked about Tuoriniemi's award. "He has a great blend of professional and academic experience, and he brings such a positive aspect to the classroom on some tough subjects."

Tuoriniemi can "honestly relate to his students, treating them as intellectual equals. He is committed and willing to go above and beyond his job description to help a student," said one of his students.

"I try to incorporate as many real-world examples or situations as I can in my teaching," said Tuoriniemi. "I think that we are better able to get course objectives across to students when we give them something they can buy into. It helps to show them that they have a vested interest in the material, whether they're a business, computer or engineering major."

Another of his students said that Tuoriniemi is "hard-working, teaches the material well and has fun doing it. He makes coming to class a rewarding and enjoyable experience."

"I genuinely enjoy what I do; that's the key to it," Tuoriniemi said. "I genuinely have a passion for coming to class everyday, and I'm excited about being there. I think that my students notice that, and they in turn make an effort to show enthusiasm for the course as well."

The Distinguished Teaching Awards, each of which includes a $2,500 cash award, will be presented at President's Convocation on Sept. 17.

In addition to Beckwith and Tuoriniemi, other finalists for the Distinguished Teaching Award were assistant professors Heidi Bostic (Humanities), Paul Buda (Technology), Will Cantrell (Physics) and Brian Davis (Electrical and Computer Engineering) in the assistant professor/lecturer category; and associate professors Gregg Bluth (GMES), Gordon Parker (MEEM), John Sandell (Technology) and Douglas Swenson (Materials Science and Engineering) in the professor/associate professor category.

The Distinguished Teaching Award Committee included representatives from the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Governments, Omicron Delta Kappa and Blue Key as well as Stephan Olsson, executive director of Alumni Relations; Martha Janners, vice provost and dean of student affairs; Bill Kennedy, director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development; William Predebon, chair of the MEEM department, and Nancy Seely, assistant director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development.

TONCHEV TO RECEIVE RESEARCH AWARD

Vladimir Tonchev, one of Michigan Tech's most prolific and respected researchers, has been selected to receive the University's 2003 Research Award.

Tonchev is the first mathematician to receive the Research Award since Thomas E. Vichich in 1959. The honor marks Tonchev's achievements as an international leader in the fields of coding and design theory, as well as his department's growing prestige among researchers in the field of combinatorics.

"This award is an important recognition for the Department of Mathematical Sciences as a unit that not only provides quality teaching and education at all levels (undergraduate and graduate), but is also actively involved in fundamental and applied research," Tonchev said.

The common view of coding is encryption: using codes to hide information. Tonchev uses codes for their other property: to make sure information is correct.

Alphonse Baartmans, chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, explains. "For example, the data sent from satellites is a series of ones and zeros." If, across miles of space, a one turns into a zero, then the data are corrupted.

How can you know if your information is right? "You could send it again," Baartmans says. Or, you could add some data to the original message that allows you to determine the correct version, even though errors have occurred during transmission.

"Say you are talking in a noisy room," he says. "To make sure you are understood, you can repeat yourself. Or, you can add some clarifying language." Tonchev's codes effectively add that clarifying language.

Error-correcting codes are used to compensate for errors in any machine that works with digitally represented data, such as CD players, computer hard drives and fax machines.

Tonchev also works in design theory, a field that has its origins in statistics and is related to geometry in that it involves the arrangement of points in space. A relatively new field with numerous applications, design theory can be used to create an efficient manufacturing plant or find out the fewest number of twists to solve a Rubik's Cube puzzle.

Tonchev's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Security Agency and the National Research Council. In his 12 years at Michigan Tech, he has published more than 60 papers and two chapters in handbooks, and has had over 350 citations. In addition, he has given more than 50 invited talks at conferences and universities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Japan, China, Russia, Germany, Italy, Korea, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium.

He serves on the editorial boards of three major journals and is a founding member of the Institute of Combinatorics and Its Applications.

"He is a wonderful ambassador for Michigan Tech and for the department," Baartmans said. "Plus, he is a world-renowned mathematician whose research is held in the highest regard by scholars in his field throughout the world."

Others agree. Dieter Jungnickel of the University of Augsburg, in Germany, calls Tonchev "one of the leading researchers in the study of the interaction of codes and designs."

Clement Lam of Concordia University cites Tonchev's unquenchable curiosity as well as his encyclopedic knowledge. "He has an unending list of interesting problems, and he often spots new possibilities." And Spryos Magliveras of Florida Atlantic University calls him "one of the top 1 percent of all researchers" in his field.

Tonchev received a PhD in Mathematics and Doctor of Mathematical Sciences degree from the University of Sofia, in Bulgaria. Before coming to MTU in 1991, he held several visiting research positions in Europe and Canada. He has held the rank of professor since 1998.

"I believe you have a star in your University," Lam said. "Dr. Tonchev will be a deserving recipient of the Michigan Technological University Research Award."

Tonchev will be honored at President's Convocation, on Sept. 17. The award carries a prize of $2,500.

MARCOTTE, MYLLYOJA, BINGHAM TO RECEIVE EMPLOYEE EXCELLENCE AWARDS

By Jana Jones, student writer

Staff Council has announced the recipients of this year's Employee Excellence Awards. Building Attendant Michael Marcotte was honored in the crafts/maintenance/food service/technical category.  Staff Assistant Patti Myllyoja was the chosen recipient in the office professional category, and Julie Bingham was selected for the award in the administrative/professional category. All three will be honored at Convocation and recognized at a luncheon in the fall.

Marcotte is responsible for the maintenance and operations of the R. L. Smith Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Building. "My job is pretty much taking care of the interior of the whole building," Marcotte explained. "I was quite surprised to find out I'd won [the Employee Excellence Award]."

He was nominated by Sherry Saarinen, who remembers him from when her department was still located in the ME-EM building.

"It has been almost four years since our department has moved from the R. L. Smith building, and yet I still recall how well Michael took care of the building," Saarinen wrote. "When an employee makes an impression on someone, and it stays with them long after they have had any contact with that employee, then it's time to do something about it."

Marcotte has worked at Michigan Tech for almost 29 years. He began in Wadsworth Hall, and has since worked in almost every other University building.

"He does a pretty good job," a coworker grinned. "He's very efficient--sometimes almost too efficient."

"[Michael] made certain that there were no unnecessary delays in repairs," Saarinen wrote. "Although he is a man of few words, he was pleasant and took the time to inform us as to what the problems were and how they should be fixed."

If you ask Stephan Olsson, the director of Alumni Relations, he will tell you, "Ask anyone that works with and knows Patti [Myllyoja], and they will say she is an absolute jewel, a wonderful and important resource for Michigan Tech and a powerhouse of an employee."

Myllyoja works for Alumni Relations, located in the Meese Center. She assists alumni and friends with questions about the office or University, works with the Alumni Association Board of Directors and manages daily operations of the office.

"I truly enjoy my job and have been fortunate to work with great people," Myllyoja said. "I have met so many wonderful people working for the Office of Alumni Relations. We come in contact with alums and friends from all over the world, and it is always interesting to hear stories that they have to share."

Among her other responsibilities, Myllyoja assists with special events that the Alumni Office holds, oversees bulk mailings, prepares financial statements and helps design, edit and produce promotional material. Myllyoja has been at the University since 1994 and with the Alumni Association since 1995.

Fred Koerschner, a past president of the Alumni Board of Directors, praised Patti, saying, "[She is a] person of high integrity. When she makes a commitment to do something you can count on it being done the way she promised. She has a strong work ethic and is focused on delivering results and continually improving the organization and herself."

"Everything Patti touches is done well. She has accomplished more for Michigan Tech and for Alumni Relations than any Alumni Relations staff person in history," Olsson said.

Bingham, who works in the College of Engineering, was nominated for the Employee Excellence Award by 11 different people, including former supervisors, coworkers and current supervisors.

"I have yet to meet another person who cares about the particulars of their job in the same manner as Julie does," said coworker Sherry Saarinen of Bingham.

"I was very surprised to hear that I was selected to receive this award," Bingham said. "I feel honored to be put in the same category as people like Bill Matkin, Jerry Dion and Mark Mylloyoja, who are all past recipients of the Employee Excellence Award."

Bingham has worked at the University for 14 years as a full-time employee.

"Julie is the person that everyone [in the College] contacts when they have questions regarding budgets or University paperwork," said Dean of Engineering Robert Warrington when nominating Bingham. "Her advice and guidance is continually sought after, and she gives it professionally and with a smile. She is a major reason for the effectiveness of the College of Engineering at Michigan Tech."

Other nominees for the award were Mike Abbott, John Gagnon, Dale Kero, Peter Larsen, Jeff Lewin, Scott Pollins, Pat Asselin Rastello, Charles Schaefer, Dean Seppala, Dave Strong, Ramona Backman, Maggie Riley, Sherry Saarinen and Carol Wiitanen.

GROUNDBREAKING FOR ADVANCED TECH COMPLEX JUNE 10

A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Advanced Technology Development Complex will be held Tuesday, June 10, at 1:30 p.m. on Sharon Avenue near Garnet Street.

The 27,500-square-foot ATDC is being built by Michigan Tech as a cooperating site of the Michigan Tech Enterprise SmartZone (MTEPS) and is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and a $1.1 million Ford Motor Company gift. The complex will house the Ford Student Design Center, a Keweenaw Research Center testing facility, lease spaces for high-tech business start-ups and MTU Corporate Services office.

MTEPS, a partnership of the cities of Houghton and Hancock in cooperation with Michigan Tech, supports technology transfer and high-tech economic development in the region.

The new complex will play a key role in that growth, said Peter Radecki, executive director of corporate services at Michigan Tech.

"The ATDC is situated at the boundary between Michigan Tech and the community, both literally and strategically," he said. "We hope that it will act as a portal between the two through which high-tech innovation can flow and new businesses and technology partnerships can emerge."

The complex also includes space specifically for the benefit of MTU students. In the Ford Student Design Center, students in the Enterprise, senior design and research programs will be able to put their ideas into practice and build prototypes. Such shop space has been in short supply.

The Keweenaw Research Center will house its four-wheel chassis dynamometer at the complex, which will be used in vehicle-testing research. The ATDC will also be the site of Corporate Services, allowing close cooperation between corporate partners, researchers, students and entrepreneurs.

Lease space in the complex will be available for MTEPS business start-ups, research and student design teams.

U.P. Engineers and Architects is designing the ATDC, with Gundlach Champion of Houghton serving as general contractor. Site preparation has begun, and the building is scheduled for completion by spring 2004.

The public is invited to the groundbreaking, and refreshments will be served.

FOURTH THURSDAY IN HISTORY SERIES SUMMER/FALL SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

submitted by Erik Nordberg

Keweenaw National Historical Park and the MTU Archives and Copper Country Historical Collections have announced the next five events scheduled in 2003 as part of their popular "Fourth Thursday in History" series.

The summer and fall series will begin on the southern shore of Keweenaw Bay on Thursday, June 26. Elizabeth Delene, archivist for the Upper Peninsula Catholic Diocese, will review the life of the "snowshoe priest," Bishop Frederic Baraga. He devoted his life to the Indians of the Upper Great Lakes and was the first Catholic priest to serve the developing Keweenaw copper mining district. The event will take place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in L'Anse, near the site of the Catholic mission Baraga founded in 1843.

The July event will explore the ways that immigrants from Finland affected the architecture, farms, gardens and general visual landscape of the Upper Lakes region. Arne Alanen, professor of landscape architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present an illustrated talk about the impact of Finnish immigrants on the landscapes of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The event is scheduled for July 24 in Wargelin Hall on the Finlandia University campus in Hancock.

August 28 will take an interesting diversion into historic clothing. The Friends of Fashion, an educational arm of the Chassell Historical Organization, will provide an overview of clothing styles during the last century, describing elements that differentiate clothing from one decade to the next. Members of the group will also model pieces of historic clothing from their collection during the event, which will take place at the Chassell Historical Museum.

The Keweenaw Peninsula's shipwreck coast will be featured during the September 25 event in Eagle Harbor. Brendon Baillod, maritime historian and director of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research Foundation, will examine local shipwrecks and will report on an ongoing project involving local divers to inventory the submerged cultural resources in the region. The venue for the talk will be the Eagle Harbor Community Center.

The fall series will finish in Houghton on Thursday, October 23. Joseph Wilson, a graduate student in the industrial archeology program at Michigan Tech, will report on fieldwork to document, preserve and interpret historical sites related to the Huron Mining Company in Houghton. The site once boasted mine shafts, a tram road, worker housing, a stamp mill, dam and a reservoir. The event will take place in the Houghton City Council Chambers.

Presentations begin at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public. For further information, contact Keweenaw National Historical Park at 337-3168 or the MTU Archives at 487-2505.
