t 16, 961 THE MICHIGAN DAILY L 16, 1981 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'Shoebox' Translates Talk 4) By ALTON BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Writer NEW YORK-Using a mirco- phone, a young engineer yester- day spoke to a machine. He gave it a series of num- bers, and asked the machine to add them up. Clicking along mer- rily with flashing lights, it came up with the correct answer. Size of Shoebox The machine, called "shoebox" because it's only about that size, can recognize 16 separate English words -- the 10 digits from 0 through 9, and six verbal com- mands such as "plus," "minus,"7 or "total." Connected with an adding machine, it can carry out arithmetical problems. The device was demonstrated yesterday by the Advanced Sys- tems Development Division of In- ternational Business Machines Corp., with William C. Dersch, a principal engineer in its construc- tion, giving it the verbal com- mands. Different System "Shoebox" uses a different sys- tem of recognizing spoken words than do other machines which have been designed to recognize words, IBM officials said. This principle is khown technically as phase information, derived from physical and mathematical analy- sis of sounds. Plans for Future All such possibilities are still far in the future. Unlike other experimental ma- chines designed to recognize spoken words, Dersch explained, "shoebox" uses only 31 transistors or other elements to do its work. Williams Voices Views On State's Future Plans Former Governor G. Mennen Williams Tuesday told a Constitu- tional Convention his thoughts on the office of governor and other problems facing Michigan. He urged that the governor's term be extended to four years and asked that the present system of individual constitutional boards for the three major institutions of higher learning, the University, Michigan State University and Wayne State University, be continued. Co-ordinating Board However, he also added that a co-ordinating board be worked out. "I would suggest consideration of a constitutional provision re- quiring submission of a budget mutually agreed upon by the various boards," he said. Williams also advocates semi-annual meetings of tall the boards with the governor.

Moreover, the sharpness of speeches by United States Am- bassador Adlai E. Stevenson and Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin, opening dis- armament debate in the Assem- bly's main political committee cast doubt on chances for agreement in the near future. ' Zorin wound up his opening speech by handing Stevenson a draft resolution that he said both countries should sponsor. Negotiating Body It would create a negotiating body divided equally among West- ern, Communist and neutral na- itons, and fix June, 1962, as a deadline for reaching agreement on a draft treaty for general and complete disarmament. At that time the United Na- tions General Assembly would be called into special session to take action on the treaty. Stevenson 'departed from his prepared text to denounce Zor- in's speech as "misleading and frequently abusive." He said he wished the speech had produced "something new and some encour- agement for real disarmament." Gives 'Hope "I earnestly hope that on exam- ination the draft resolution which he has presented to me just now will give us some greater hope than his speech portends," he add- ed. Later Zorin accused Stevenson of trying to exploit the Soviet po- sition on resuming nuclear weap- ons tests.

His support- ers claimed victory was already as- sured. "We made it," declared Mac- apagal as late returns failed to give the expected boost to his opponent, President Carlos P. Garcia of the ruling Nacionalista party. Inmates. OXFORD (W) - The Oxford University student magazine Is- is yesterday denounced as "spinsterly and prudish" the ex- pulsion of a girl undergraduate found in bed with a man in her dormitory. "In or out of Oxford, girls will be girls," it said. The magazine asserted in an editorial that the expulsion ap- peared to be part of "a seem- ingly deliberate campaign by the women's colleges to tight- en their hold on their inmates." Said Isis: "Is it possible that the colleges feel they are acting in place of their charges' par- ents, but was home life ever like that?" amounted to "one of the crudest lessons in hypocrisy I have ever listened to." He said to Zorin: "Let's cut out this rhetoric and let's get down to the business of our meeting here." Details on Plan Zorin devoted the bulk of his speech to a detailed exposition of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev's plan for general and com- plete disarmament. He said the Soviet Union fav- ored control over disarmament and not "control over arma- ments." He accused the Western powers of coming up with "mealy- mouthed proposals" aimed at blocking Khrushchev's plan. They would have mutual power of recommendation but not decision. Legislative Selection He urged that the auditor gen- eral be selected by the Legisla- ture, and that the Senate's right to-approve the governor's appoint- ments be retained. Williams also asked for a fairly apportioned Legislature. "If it is fairly and equally apportioned, the people will have confidence in it and expect from it the same strength and help they now ex- pect from a state-wide elected governor." Ultimate Element This is indeed the ultimate ele- ment of balance-equal respect and confidence from the source of all authority in a democracy- the people, Williams said. Williams said the, number of state agencies should be reduced from the present 120 to a consti- tutional limit of 20. He also de- nounced spring elections as being detrimental to good government.

The only path for a Commu- nist triumph over the free world, he said, is that of sowing "seeds of discord . . . arraying brother against brother, class against class, race against race so as to transform America from a fortress of freedom to a house divided against itself." Long-Cherished Referring to the John Birch So- ciety, Johnson said: "We have throughout the land today Ameri- cans who, in the very name of freedom, are arguing the people to distrust their own selected lead. ers, their long-cherished institu- tions.
