'h. .. ,<:a <: , 3 Stresses Research in News k., Officials View Policy IFor Extension Classes) DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN s Z a i 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. t"7 t c A *t 3 7 s r r t E 3' 7 i 1 ALAN T.

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 LYNN W. ELEY 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.
