- John Cantlon, former Michigan State University provost, talks about his career and the beginnings of the university's Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP). Cantlon, who came to MSU in 1954 and moved into administration in 1969, says that the FGP was created after a failed attempt by faculty to unionize and discusses how the procedure was created and what parts worked in the past and should now be improved. Cantlon also talks about the campus student protests, the founding of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at MSU, the search for a new university president, fighting the Michigan Legislature for funding and his relationship with the MSU Board of Trustees. Cantlon is interviewed by Robert Banks, former MSU associate provost and associate vice president for Academic Human Resources and John Revitte, MSU professor emeritus of Labor Studies.

- Description:
- In an installment of the radio program "Your governor," Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams discusses the results of the most recent legislative session. Williams strongly argues that the "economy budget" passed by the legislature masks an actual increase in spending because money is only appropriated for nine months worth of funding. He says that the budget as passed will lead to tax hikes and additional appropriations in order to overcome the hidden budget shortfalls. Williams also says that many of the construction projects he proposed, such as a new University of Michigan outpatient facility, were funded for only down payments and planning, in order to give the appearance of cost savings. He says that this maneuvering by the legislature commits the state to the project without providing money to carry out the actual work.

Fitzgerald discusses his family background, serving in the armed forces, attending law school at the University of Michigan, the early days of his legal career, and running for the the Michigan Senate in 1958 and the newly created Michigan Court of Appeals in 1964.

Fitzgerald further provides insight on the Supreme Court's decision making process, the composition of the Court during his tenure and the famous Scholle vs. Secretary of State case. Part 2: In an oral history interview, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice John W. Fitzgerald talks about his early days on the Michigan Supreme Court and difficult issues faced by the Court in the nineteen-seventies, including selecting a new Chief Justice in 1974, the death of Justice Thomas M. Kavanagh in 1975, and the investigation of Justice John Swainson later that same year. He says that some cases suffered during that period because the Court was "short-handed".
