THE MICHIGAN 'DAILY SATURDAY. OCTOBER 26, 1963 Hatcher Asks New Partnership Sawyer Cites Shortage Of Science Personnel SOUTHEAST ASIA: I Watt Views New Position of Australia In return, President Hatcher believes industry should "invest in research-oriented staffs of their own, bring its technology up to date and be eager to learn and explore new ways of doing things." Trained Workers Cooperation with educational institutions can enable industry to easily do so, he claimed, because universities provide new graduates every year who are already re- search-minded because of their training. President Hatcher commented that "their training is indirectly a part of what you pay for when you sponsor research on a univer- sity campus." He also described some of the efforts of the University to com- bat the problem on intellectual obsolescence caused by the rapid change occuring in all industrial and professional fields. 'U' Efforts "Subscribers to the industry program of the engineering col- lege receive abstracts of scientiilf papers, invitations to campus con- ferences and special lectures ar- ranged at company locations and conducted by faculty," President Hatcher said. In an agreement with one Mich- igan company, the University pro- vides six weeks of concentrated instruction on campus and six months of one-a-week seminars at the company location to en- gineers who have not been able to keep up with progress in their fields. "To contribute toward an ef- fective partnership with industry at the University, the Institute of Science and Technology sends bul- letins to companies and helps to find the right man or organization for an inquiring industry," Presi- dent Hatcher commented. There have been many examples of the inter-relationship of uni- versity research and the develop- ment of new industrial products. "A new product or process may be the result, or the necessary means' toward the universities' goal of gaining new knowledge," he ex- plained. Special To The Daily CHICAGO - "Even though the number of youths going to college will increase sharply in the years just ahead, the scientific person- nel problem will become more ag- gravated," Vice-President for Re- search Ralph A. Sawyer said yes- terday. Speaking before the American Optical Society meeting here, he accepted the society's Ives Medal for his work in spectroscopy. "The problem of scientific man- power will be aggravated for two reasons," he indicated. "One is the simple and direct fact that the large increase in college enrollment calls for cor- responding increases in college faculties. "The other reason is the rapid growth of research and develop- ment expenditures, both by the government and by private indus- try," he added. He pointed out that the rate of increase in research spending has been about 15 per cent per year since World War II, doubling every five years under the stimu- lation of needed new developments in space and defense areas. Quoting the President's Scien- tific Advisory Committee to show the need for increased scientific and technical manpower he said: "The output of doctorates in these fields should be increased by 150 per cent in the decade of the sixties in comparison with a 50 per cent increase in the fifties." He noted that the problem is basically financial and that more funds will be required to support graduate students, to pay for addi- tional educational costs and for construction and renovation of laboratory and teaching facilities and research equipments 'UT' To Install Centrex Phones Work will begin Monday on consolidation of the 10,400 tele- phones of the University into a single system, called Centrex. Various sidewalks around cam- pus will be torn up.

"Exploitation of the resources of state and local bar associations as well as the use of strategically located alumni may be helpful in enlarging the (placement) pro- gram," the committee report stat- ed. Although no formal expansion of the placement bureau hastaken place, there was an increase in placements made last year. Concerning committee - recom- mendations, Dean Proffitt com- mented, "Some of their ideas may be good, but if we don't have the money we obviously can't put them into effect." Today's committee schedule in- cludes meetings with law students, further attendance of classes and conferences with faculty. In ad- dition, committee members will have free hours to investigate areas of particular concern to them. They will have an opportun- ity to contact persons with which they may have wished to discuss the Law School, but whom they have not met in the formal pro- gram, Dean Proffitt said. By JOHN WEILER Australia's position toward the Southeast Asian area has changed considerably since World War II, Sir Alan Watt of the Australian National University said yester- day. Watt, who was formerly with the Australian government but is now a visiting fellow at the Depart- ment of International Relations at the University, said that the change has been one from com- parative isolation to "identifiable presence of Australia in the South- east Asian area." He said that although Australia has inherited European cultures and British parliamentary tradi- tions by nature of its location on the "southeast rim of Asia," Aus- tralia has a more important geo- graphic stake -in the actions of Asian countries. Watt said the prime minister once summed it up as "what Great Britain calls Far East, we call Near North." World War II While before World War II the Australians had no diplomatic of- fices in foreign countries they es,- tablished three soon after war broke out. The aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the fear of invasion and the fall of Singapore caused drastic changes in Australian attitudes, Watt add- ed. "As the invasion fears died down Federalists To Convene Mrs. Marion McVitty will speak on "Can the United Nations Weather the Winds of Change?' at the Friends Meeting House, 1420 Hill Street at 10 tonight, at at the regional fall conference of the United World Federalists. Others speaking at the con- ference are Mr. William Bathea National Director of the United World Federalists; Mrs. Judy Rey- nolds, member of the Executive Council of the United World Fed- eralists; and Walter H. Grossfeld, Chairman of the Detroit chapter. Mrs. McVitty is editor of "The Independent Observer," and an observerat the United Nations for the World Association of Fed- eralists. Admission to the conference will be one dollar for adults, students free. after Midway, Australians wanted a larger part in the post-war settlement." he said. The dilemma that has faced Australia since the war has been one of the difficulties in reconcil- ing military security and peaceful relations, Watt said. One possibility for establishing good relations has been the Aus- tralian universities and other edu- cational institutions who have al- Students Protest Poor Facilities CALCUTTA - Post-graduate students at the University of Cal- cutta have submitted a petition to the vice-chancellor calling for reforms of the overcrowded eat- ing facilities, absence of open ref- erence shelves in the library and infrequent tutorial classes. lowed Asian students to attend. This has helped to break down a portion of the isolation formerly held. Problem Areas Watt cited Indonesia as one ex- ample of a problem area to the Australians. Australia has contin- ually supported the new state of Malaysia while Indonesia has op- posed it. Watt said that serious consider- ation should be given to the speech given by President Sukarno of In- donesia on August 17. He char- acterized the address under four headings: national revolution, per- manent revolution, aid to the "newly emergent" forces outside Indonesia and a continuous con- frontation. "I take these statements seri- ously," Watt said. ''It is reasonable to regard the process of de-coloni- zation in establishing Malaysia as a good one but not a perfect one."
