AEC To Select
Accelerator Site
By BARBARA SEYFRIED
The Atomic Energy Commission should recommend the qualified
sites for a several hundred million dollar atomic accelerator within
two weeks, Michael Berla, administrative assistant to Rep. Weston
Vivian (D-Ann Arbor) said last week.
The recommendations, consisting of approximately one third
of the proposals, will be sent to a Natjonal Academy of Science)
Committee along with the other proposals and all will undergo further

SRea' Attacks
Installment
Tuition Plan
By RUTH FEUERSTEIN
Walter B. Rea, Assistant to the
Vice-President for Student Affairs
and Director of Financial Aids, re-
cently denounced the installment
tuition plan as "making good1
copy, but not good sense."
The plan, originally set up in
1938, was designed to aid students
who could not afford to pay their
entire tuition in one sum. Under
this system, a college education is
financed through monthly pay-
ments and hundreds of schools
are presently using the arrange-
ment..
Rea pointed out that the plan
has detrimental aspects because
it is a plan where a bank acts as
the intermediary between student
and university. As a result, the
student pays an interest rate
which Rea estimated to be 7 per
cent.
"I do not think that this in-
stallment plan would help or en-.
tice students," Rea said. He also
mentioned that the University has
equivalent plans which are better
because they do not involve banks.
According to one plan which is
in operation at the University, 50
per cent of tuition is paid by
September 30th, and the balance
does not have to be paid until
October 29th.
Residence hall payments can
also be met through eight install-1
ments.
things as geologic characteristics
site in relation to air terminals,
and several other characteristics
will be investigated. This phase of
study may even include on-site
visits by members of the com-
iiittee.
Science Academy
The recommendations from the
National Science Academy Com-
mittee will be made to the AEC
and finally sent to the President
for selection.
The final decision is expected
next spring.
Originally the AEC had hoped
to make its recommendations
public sometime in the month of
August. However, because of an
overwhelming number of prop-
osals, the AEC has not had a
chance to study them all and
consequently has not been able
to meet its deadline. Science mag-
azine reported recently that there
were 117 formal proposals from
46 states.
Propose Northville
Among the site proposals is one
in Northville Township.
According to Robert Burroughs,'
director of Research Administra-
tion, "We feel Northville should
survive the first screening. Not
many location have the combina-
tion of qualifications that it does."
Burroughs said the site was 'in
the vicinity of two institutions
which maintain major research
programs in atomic physics and
related areas. A second factor
Burroughs mentioned, were the
cultural advantages of the Detroit
and Ann Arbor areas which would
intice employes to live in the
area.
Burroughs explained earlier
that there were a number of rea-
sons why the accelerator would be
desirable for the area.
The accelerator would bring
money into the state simply be-
cause of -huge operating costs.
By CAROLE KAPLAN
Professor Frithjof Bergmann of
the philosophy department spoke
to an overflowing classroom on
the subject of existentialism last
week as a part of the orientation
lecture program, which give in-
coming freshmen the opportunity
to sample some course material
offered at the University.
Bergmann, after explaining that
the existentialist philosophers
have "as little in common as dif-
ferent vegetables" approached the
problem through Jean-Paul Sar-
tre's explanation of self-deception.
This explanation, he said, is cen-
tral to Sartre's major philosophi-
cal work, "Being and Nothing-
ness," because it tests the validity
of Satre's theory of the mind.
Bergmann went on to explain
that Sartre views the mind as two-
demensional, with no subconscious
or unconscious dimensions.
Self-Deception
He said, if Sartre can explain
so complicated a phenomenon as
self-deception in terms of his!
theory of the mind, this explana-
tion strengthens his theory.
Sartre, said Bergmann, begins
his discussion of self-deception by
criticizing Freud's treatment of
the same phenomenon. He shows
that Freud, by separating the hu-
man mind into the ego, the id, andj
the censor, deal not with the1
actual process of self-deception,
but with the deception of one part
of the mind by another, Bergmann
said. This is, in essence, no, dif-{
ferent than a lie told to oneI
person by another.j
Paradox
Bergmann explained that Sar-
tre, in the context of his theory
of the undivided mind, sets forth
the "paradox of self-deception,"I
the condition of knowing a truth,
and at the same time not knowingI
it. This, says Sartre, is the only
true form of self-deception.
Bergmann then showed how;
Sartre explains the paradox of
self-deception. Sartre divides the
mind into two different but not;
separate sections: the factual part,
which deals with objective facts.
things that have already hap-
pened, and the transcendent part,
stealing for years, yet denies that
he is a thief, then he is denying
the factual part of his mind. If
he says "I am a thief. I will always
be a thief,"he is denying the
possibility of change in the future.
Refusal
Therefore, the paradox of self
deception is not so complex after
all, Bergmann noted. It does not
consist in the hiding of facts, but,
in the refusal to draw a conclu-
sion from the facts, he said.
According to Sartre, Bergmann
concluded, the best condition is aj
balance between the two portions
of the mind: the ability and will-
ingness to draw the right con-
clusions about whathhas happened
in the past, and the recognition
of the possibility of change in the
future.

which deals with the possibilities
of the future. Sartre says that
self deception is the act of deny-
ing either of these portions of
the mind the importance it de-
serves, Bergmann explained.
