PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, 5 FEBRUARY 1965 PAGE TWO TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY. 5 FEBRUARY 1965 3U CAUSE OF JOBLESSNESS: Analyzes Cybern ation Effects Editor Accused of Leftist Ties By MARK KILLINGSWORTH "Cybernation has hardly begun to. affect this country-but may take a major revolution in our knowledge of it or a major social disaster before we do something about it," Donald Michael of the Institute for Policy Studies told a Public Administration Seminar yesterday in Rackham. Cybernation-derived from the Greek word for "helmsman" and often used interchangeably with "automation"-Michael defined as "thee increasingly variable uses of controlled symbols to result in automatic fabrication." He said it had created, or helped to create, numerous economic and social problems. Michael declared that tech- nological unemployment has been creeping up from unskilled groups and is now significantly affect- ing semi-skilled and technical workers. By 1970, over 4000 pro- duction systems including over 50 per -cent of machine tools will be automated or computerized, he noted. Low Education Although workers with low edu- cation make up about one-third of the labor force, they are over half of the unemployed. Citing Columbia University's dean of engineering as saying, "There is no future for the B- grade engineer or the middle level Plan Negro Week Event Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Al- pha Psi fraternities and Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta sororities will sponsor the University's observance of Nation- al Negro History Week, February 7-13. William T. Patrick, Jr., a for- mer city councilman from Detroit and presently an assistant attor- ney for Michigan Bell Telephone Company, will discuss "The Negro and Politics" February 9, in the Michigan Union, Rm. 3R at 8 Feb. 11, at 8 p.m. in the third floor conference room of the Mich- igan Union, the Rev. James E. Wadsworth, president of the De- troit chapter of the NAACP, will speak on "The Future of the Civil Rights Movement." Although this is the 40th an- nual observance of National Ne- gro History Week, next week will mark the second observance at the University. .The idea for such an observ- ance was initiated by the Asso- ciation for the Study of Negro Life and History, which was founded in 1915 under the leader- ship of the distinguished Negro historian, Carter G. Woodson, who later became dean of Howard Uni- versity. DIAL 662-6264 EN DING TODAY ROBERT TAYLOR "THE NIGHT WALKER" DONALD MICHAEL manager in industry," Michael' also rejected the notion that the service industries, such as bank- ing; trade and government, will "be the saviour of society" and solve the unemployment problem. He added that leisure time would also become an increasing prob- lem. Since the unskilled are in- creasingly out of work and the high-skilled workers, who are in very short supply, will increas- ingly be working overtime, Mich- ael declared, "The masses are 'loafing' while the elites work. But we have no past precedents to get an idea of how to deal with this problem." Education "The ironic thing is that we're talking about education for worli when we should be concerned about education for leisure as well. The world children are studying for it will be considerably dif- ferent from the world of today in both ways," he 'added. Michael also said the revolution of rising expectations, the econom- Ic - competition of more developed countries and the U.S.' own pop- ulation increase add "an order of social complexity which has never existed before" to the problem of cybernation. Significant Value He suggested that computers and cybernation in general could prove of significant value in solv- ing these problems. "Cybernation may increase our problems, but, working with behavioral science and statistical data, it can also simulate reality so we can try to improve it." He cautioned, however, against "the tendency to value most the processes a computer can simu- late," suggesting there are limits to such analysis. He added that such "esoteric and complex means," even if valid, meant a "professionalism of gov- ernment" which, while necessary, might mean it would be "virtually impossible even for an educated citizen to judge policy alterna- tives," Few Solutions Michaelalso admitted he had few solutions to offer, noting that while many programs are set up to change the system, they "often give the impression of change rather than its substance." He said the Poverty Program and similar measures might involve a lot of turmoil and very little ac- tivity. It is known that the Labor De- partment, for example, has been divided into two camps, one group alarmed about the impact of technological factors and anoth- er group which feels the situation is not essentially different from earlier periods. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, who in a December, 1963, speech in Ann Arbor strongly stressed technological change and the importance of education, is believed to favor the first group. Michael also appeared to favor the writings of the "Ad-Hoc Com- mittee on the Triple Revolution," which has been influenced by Robert Theobald, the economist, and others such as Michael Har- rington, author of "The Other America." This group has favored a guaranteed annual income as a solution for unemployment. Social Disasters Michael also maintained "we may be in for a group of signifi- cant social disasters before some- thing is finally done." "It may come, for exam- ple, when unemployed Negroes get out of retraining courses and find the jobs for which they are train- ed no longer exist or have been taken over by higher-skill whites who have themselves been dis- placed," he declared. Fraternity Reveals Building Plans Sigma Phi Epsilon yesterday announced the plans for their new fraternity house to be built at the corner of State and Hill Streets. Architect Byron West, a University graduate and an SPE alumnus said the $310,000 building will have the conveniences found normally in apartments, the major competitors to fra- ternity house living. The accent is on a minimum of foot traffic and three distinct types of sleep areas that are away from the most-used parts of the building. Target date for occupancy is late this year. Governor Rornney's Budget Puts Flint Addition in Doubtr By MICHAEL BADAMO A charge of Communist affilia- tions has been hurled by Wiscon-: sin state Senator Jerris Leonard at John Gruber, managing editor of the University of Wisconsin's student newspaper, The Daily Cardinal. Leonard asked the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents for a full investigation of Gruber's al- leged Communist activities. If the University does not take appro- priate action, Leonard warned, he will call for the establishment of a special legislative committee to' study the matter. In a letter to University of Wisconsin Board of Regents Pres- ident Arthur DeBardeleben, Leon- ard stated, "I was very much dis- turbed to read recently in the Bob Siegrist Wisconsin Newsletter' Siegrist is an ultra-conservative radio commentator in Madison) that John Gruber . . . resides at a Madi'son residence with known political leftists such as Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Dennis, Jr., and Michael Eisenscher." W.E.B. DuBois Club Mrs. Dennis is head of the cam- pus chapter of the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs of America, an organiza- tion described by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as a "Communist- oriented youth organization." Gruber, who was in New York at a student press convention when the controversy broke, said, "I am frankly shocked that the house I live in should be the basis of an allegation as to my 'associa- tions'." "There is one issue involved here, and that concerns the rights of k l LAST CHANCE w t freedom of speech and freedom of advocacy. Leonard and others who have supported histposition are us- ing this tactic to smokescreen the real question-suppression of the right to articulate any politi- cal point of view," he said. Goes to Regents In response to Leonard's letter, DeBardeleben told the press that the Regents would consider the matter at their Friday meeting in Milwaukee. While he said he could not speak for the rest of the Regents, DeBardeleben did mention "that the Board of Regents of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin has re- TONIGHT AND TOMORROW TO SEE NIGHT of the IGUANA 8:00 P.M. 4 peatedly and consistently declar- ed itself as supporting freedom' of the press and as encouraging and permitting the exposure of various ideologies and viewpoints however unpopular; a position which has been the official policy of the board since 1894." Both Madison daily newspapers offered editorial support for the Cardinal on Monday. The Capi- tol Times stated in a front page editorial "Leonard proves that Mc- Carthyism is still alive." The Wisconsin State Journal said that it had many disagreements with Cardinal policy but defended the Cardinal's right to express its I Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre $1.75 (Continued from Page 1) Many small colleges, having votes equal to the larger univer- sities in the coordinating council, have opposed branches fearing the spread of the influence of a larger college. The University lost its struggle to establish a college in Saginaw County, the Delta Col- lege, in this manner. . i E DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of The Univer- sity of Michigan, for which The Michigan Daily Assumes no editor- ial responsibifty.

For information write: Academic Aids P. O. Box 969 Berkeley 1, Calif. At the December meeting of the Regents, a report from the Mich- igan Coordinating Council for Public Higher Education was read which attacked the Flint expan- sion. University officials disre- garded the report, having already begun hiring faculty and enrolling, students for the fall. Romney's recommendation-the third major objection to the Uni- versity's Flint plans so far-is al- most sure to come up at today's meeting between Romney and the Board of State College Presidents, a voluntary group consisting of the presidents of the 10 state- supported colleges. The University's involvement in Flint education goes back to 1954 when the Flint Board of Educa- tion invited the University to es- tablish a junior-senior branch there to complement the Flint Junior College. Yet the growth of the Flint area has made this addition inadequate, and so Flint's Board of Education again invited the University into Flint, this time to add the fresh- man and sophomore years to its curriculum. D e s p i t e opposition from state college presidents and from faculty at Flint Junior Col- lege, the University agreed and has since planned on enrolling some 200 freshmen at Flint this fall. r r i ;i 3 I { i I I i C t INTERESTED IN BEING A COUNSELOR AT FRESHMAN RENDEZVOUS???
