Public Knowledge
By ROBERT JOHNSTON
"The ultimate decision as to
the magnitude of our national re-
search and development effort
must depend fundamentally upon
tho degree of understanding and
support which the voters of the
country choose to give it," Alan
T. Waterman, former director of
the National Science Foundation
said Tuesday.
Waterman, who is also chair-
man of the board of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance-
ment of Science, spoke at the
Conference on Science in the
Press sponsored by the NSF at
the University.
He discussed the urgent neces-
sity of communicating an under-
standing to non-scientists. "We
have reached a situation where
the spectacular rise of the na-
tional effort in science and tech.
nology has brought about a period
of stock-taking." he said.
This stock-taking must deal
with questions regarding the "de-
gree of responsibility and partici-
pation on the part of the federal
government and the optimum dis-
tribution of the effort among tl-e
three sectors; government, indus-
try and academic and other non-
profit estabishments," Wtermkan
pointed out.
Scientific Communication
In explaining the importance of
good scientific communication
with the public, he said, "It seems
a pity that the outstanding dis-
coveries in basic research have
such difficulty in conveying to
the general public the thrill which
they produce in the scientific
community."
In order to present "basic sci-
ence to the public we should use
every possible device to portray
science as pioneering exploration
important primarily for the in-
crease in knowledge and under-
standing which it provides. The
danger is that we will stress its
immediate practicality too much."
Waterman assessed the long
run value of basic research as be-
ing of great value in our society.
"One of the greatest assets we
can have In a free society is to
realize the importance of culti-
vating free research and to un-
derstand and appreciate the prac-
tical importance of so doing, both
in a broad and a narrow sense."
Research, then, is made "a prop-
er avenue for support by public
as well as private funds."
Accurate Picture
The problem for those who
must present an accurate picture
of scientile endeavor is to "re-
concile in a given presentation the
desire of the scientist for accur-
acy, objectivity and 'soundness'
of presentation with the aim c f
the reporter for the reler's at-
tentfon, interest and comprehen-
sion. £i:is is a real' stumbling
b %c &A olemma," he said.
Waterman emphasized the
heavy responsibilities of the mass
media in communicating with the
public and the need to devote time
and attention to the problems in-
volved.
Explaining this responsibility,
he said, "This is a large order to
fill-to keep conversant with na-
tional and world needs, to sense
promptly the directions in which
science and technology are ad-
vancing, to report these with the
degree of accuracy that scientists
desire and above all to present the
issues and their substantive treat-
ment in a manner wvhich will be
comprehended and appreciated
by. the general reader."
Helium Problems
The history of tie research
with helium and 'the subsequent
difficulty of scientsts in havig
the rare deposits of it conserved
fIri research rather than indus-'
trial use was cited as an instance
where better communication is

needed
"The fact that without helium
much of the most remarkable and1
fimidamental researcn in physics
would be drastically curtailed
seemed not to have the slightest
appeal" to Congressmen faced
with industrial lobbies intenton
preserving their own use of he-
lium even though'argon, a more
plentiful gas, was available.
The difficulties of clear pre-
sentation of the issues to the pub-
lic are many. "These include the
diffidence on the part of many
scientists toward discussing their'
research with laymen, their tech-
nical vocabulary and their inex-
perience in public relations,"
Wai ex man said
Apparently all historical ten-
dencies seem to suggest that such
a communication barrier will
grow stronger as it is prolonged.
Waterman noted that if our so-
ciety is to progress, modern bar-
riers to scientist-layman com-
munication must be broken down.

Overall Goals
"Congress doesn't understand?
basic research, by sand large,"
Alan T. Waterman, chairman of
the board of the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Science, said Tuesday.
"Congressmen want to know
what the federal government is
doing with its money." They are
interested in the specific uses and
want to know the good each spe-
cific project is going to accom-
plish," he said.
"We have a hard time justifying
individual projects on this basis
because our grants should go to
a wide range of fields with an eye
to overall gain. Specific gains in
any one area are hard to predict,"
This is why basic research funds'
are the first to feel the effect of,
economy moves," he added.
Waterman pointed also to the
important advances research is
making and cites four of the areas'
where he expects the most activ-
ity in the future--"the study of
the earth's environment; the bio-
chemical study of genetics and the
process of growth; information
and communication theory and
experiment; and the ultimate
constitution and properties of
matter."
He also pointed out that "oth-
tr promising areas of development
are still mainly in the research
stage." He included here the study
of natural resources, the atmos-
phere, the ocean, the earth, the
sun and outer space, living or-
ganisms and "the elusive subjects
of social and political science and
the behavioral sciences."
Waterman explained that basic
research in these fields is vitally
important- and that "advanced
training in the universities should
not assume a strongly vocational
slant at the expense of the tradi-
tional role in the pursuit of schol-
arship and culture."
The nation's research effort is
also important from a national
standpoint of world competition
or cooperation, "realizing that the
accomplishments of science and
technology will bring about social
and global developments of un-
precedented magnitude," Wtaer-
man said._
He also cited the steady propor-
tion of research support among
government, business and private
sources, in spite of the rapid rise
of overall spending. "We have
here a dynamic growth pattern
with support not becoming un-
balanced in any one field."
The public must be made to re-
alize the importance of such re-
search spending to their own fu-
ture, Waterman noted: Without
this, science and our society may
be endangered.
ORGANIZATION
NOTICES

(Continued from Page 1)
But Niehuss questions the po-
litical influence that such an ar-
rangement may have in Lansing,
considering the natural competi-
tion for state funds between pri-
mary and higher education lobby-
ists.
And educational school officials
denounce the educational sound-
ness of using prestigious although
allegedly un-qualified adjunct
personnel.
Although the University em-
ploys adjunct or non-resident
staff members to teach a portion
of its extension courses, the ma-
jority of teachers remains the
resident staff members from the
Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint
campuses.
This preference is a major hitch
to competing with MSU, educa-j
tion officials assert. Dean Leh-
mann points out that there is no
premium placed on state-wide
teachirg services rendered." The
University promotion seales are
charted on a teacher's publica-
tions, his research and o -campus
teaching, not his exten5ion record.
Li short, the educator's reward
for extramural teaching can only
be monetary. While the Extonsion
Service is now recommending
higher teaching pay sca'es for ex-
tramura; courses taught, it, bud-
getary limitations preclude the
successfui materialization of this

prospect, high sources estimate.
The education school has cre-
ated some speculative plans for
expanding their course offerings
program, but they can only be
activated with much more luxur-
iots budgeting, Olson says.
In view of the faculty "stay-on-
campus" attitude and the limited
funds available, the education
school is conceding to MSU the
numerical course offering suprem-
acy, officials intimate.

Private Student Living Units

By BARBARA SEYFRIED
and JOHN WEILER
Off-campus living facilities are
playing an increasing role in stu-
dent housing.
At present nearly two-thirds of
the students at the University live
in non-University housing. This
number is expected to increase
because:
-New regulations, if passed,
will allow more undergraduates
to live outside University housing;
Crowded Halls
-Crowded residence hall con-
ditions force the University to
turn down graduate student ap-
plications for University housing.
In response to these conditions,
the Student. Governors Confer-
ence, an organization attached to
the Alumni Association, held a
panel discussion recently to dis-
cuss the 12-month lease policy
held by most landlords.
The panel discussion was held
among two landlords, H. Byer and
Carl Malcolm, two representatives
from the Office of Student Affairs,
Mrs. Elizabeth Leslie and Mrs.
Norma Kraker and moderator
Peter Ostafin, assistant to the
vice-president of student affairs.
Advantages
The landlords pointed out an
advantage of the 12-month lease:
a student can get an apartment
for a lower per-month rate.
Landlords hike rents by about 10
per cent when giving only a nine-
month lease, they said. With a
12-month lease students have the
opportunity to reclaim rent
money by subletting their apart-
ments.
Most landlords do all they can
to help students find people to

sublet their places, the landlords
on the panel asserted.
The off-campus housing dept.
has recognized the need to aid
students in sub-letting their
rooms. In a few days it will issue
a booklet to all University stu-
dents explaining what the de-
partment is, detailing the require-
ments for off-campus living and
mentioning things to consider be-
fore signing a lelse.
Women'Demands
Mrs. Leslie pressed the point of
the increasing demands from jun-
ior women for apartment permis-
sion. Junior women on campus
are asserting the same pressure
now that senior women did five
years ago, just before they ac-
quired apartment permission.
Mrs. Leslie also has agreed to
support proposals for changes in
the listing of off-campus housing
at an open hearing to be held by
Student Government Council
Committee on Student Activities
Monday night.
OSA Lists
The OSA lists approved off-
campus housing to aid students
shopping for a good apartment.
The motion made proposes
changes in the Regents by-laws
to modify the present listing pro-
cedure.
Specifically the changes are
geared to encourage people to
comply with the present listing of
off campus housing.
Other intentions are to make
such housing lists public so all
students may have knowledge of
them, and to provide a higher
quality of off-campus student
housing.
