LAZERWITZ SPEAKS:
SBases Judaism on Science
By HENRY LEE
The Bureau of Appointments
and the Student Government
Council jointly sponsored a panel
discussion on opportunities in the
field of technical writing yester-
day.
Prof. W. Earl Britton of the En-
gineering English department,
moderated the group of four ex-
perts.
"There are many opportunities
for women in publication work
u n d e r government contracts,"
F'rances Schutzberg of Bendix
Aviation said. "We print several
books each year for the govern-
mnent showing what our company
has accomplished and can do
"A background in technology is
not necessary," Walter G. Patton,
a former editor of "Iron Age"
magazine and the present engi-
neering editor of the Society of
American Engineers' "Journal"
asserted. He claimed the "Jour-
nal" could be considered a trade
publication - half news and half
scientific matter. "There are a
thousand of these magazines
which serve both industry and
business."
Dr. A. Jarrard MacLeod, head
of =scientific projects department
for Upjohn Pharmaceuticals said
medical writing is not the type of
employment for a person who is
interested in routine work.

The Graduate Student Council is sponsoring
a coffee hour Thursday, December 10 to4:30
P.M. in Room 3-B of the Union. Dr. Findlay
Carpenter of the School of Education will
speak on the future of automated teaching.
Most doctors are constantly
busy and have very little time to
keep up with the latest medical
developments-"Our publications
serve as a post-graduate educa-
tion," he claimed.
Dr. MacLeod emphasized that
there is a great need for writers
on the nation's 21,000 medical
publications. "It is necessary for
someone to bring the information
into useful form for the busy
practitioner; otherwise he will not
be able to use drugs that he does
not understand."
Defines Journal's Purpose
John Bryant, editor of a Gen-
eral Motors engineering journal
proceeded to define its purposes:
"It is a house organ which tries
to influence our readers favorably
toward the company and its serv-
ices. It interprets company policy
for the employee's benefit as well
as providing engineering educa-
tors with information about the
use and applications of products."
Bryant then cited one of the
biggest problems in the field of
technical writing today: "The
question arises as to whether cer-
tain companies want technicians
that can write or writers that un-
derstand technology. We have one
department where there are 33
openings. We are looking for nu-
clear physicists who can write,
but we have been unsuccessful."
Expresses Present Feelings
Bryant expressed his feelings
over this controversy. "A normal
liberal arts education is a fine
background. You can get techni-
cal knowledge on the job."
Dr. MacLeod also expressed the
opinion that jargon reduces the
level and purpose of such writ-
ings. The effort should be gram-
matically correct, simple, and
terse. He then read a medical di-
agnosis, written in 1885, which
was evidently clearer than anoth-
er one written a few years ago
on the same topic. "Medical writ-
ing certainly has not improved
much!" he remarked.
By CAROLE REGAN
"A man's faith must rest on
truth as it is proved by verifiable
scientific investigation," Bernard
Lazerwitz told an audience at
Lane Hall on Wednesday.
Speaking on "The Meaning of
Faith to aJew," Lazerwitz, a mem-
ber of the Survey Research Cen-
ter, asserted that his ideas of
faith are widely held among the
majority of the Israeli-American
Jews of European background.
Faith is the "emotional force that
makes the beliefs that a man holds
stick" regarding his relationship
Letween nature, man, and God.
Science Replaces Ritual
There has been continuous de-
velopment away from a blind ad-
herence to rituals to a faith based
on science. A form of Judaism
utilizing scientific evidence is Re-
constructionism, a "left, wing re-
form Judaism," Lazerwitz noted.
With no dependency upon mir-
aculous or divine revelation, Re-
constructionism contains no belief
in personal immortality.
For the Reconstructionist, as
for Lazerwitz, God is not omnipo-
tent; He is limited by the forces
of the universe, he indicated, so
religion cannot be 'great man'
centered.
Sees Capricious God
The God of Reconstructionism
is different than the God of the
Orthodox Jew, he continued. Or-
thodoxy arose from the helpless-
ness of man, Lazerwitz explained,
which led to a "capricious God-
figure--one who would do things
for men."
"The modern world ushered in
Judaism," the speaker added. Or-
iginating in Germany, it expanded
greatly in the United States,
helped by the separation of church
and state.
The early Reform Jew felt he
was a member of a religious group,
not a culture, he said. The move-
ment abandoned food taboos, de-
emphasized Hebrew, and in some
cities began to hold services on
Sunday.
Adapts Scientific Proof
Influenced by liberal Protes-
tantism, the Reform Jew adopted
science as the basis of proving
what is truth, the speaker said.
Appearing next, the Conserva-
tive movement put back the origi-
nal emphasis on dietary laws and
placed more attention on Hebrew.
n I
"Food taboos" in Recbnstruc-
tionism which is based on science,
"are not means in themselves,"
he emphasized. They are institu-
tionalized means to help man to
become more moral.
Lazerwitz feels there is now un-
dergoing a re-interpretation of
traditional American-Jewish insti-
tutions and an influencing of Is-
raeli religious thinking -by the
ideas held by Americans.

About 35 University interna-
tional students will visit New York
and Washington D.C. through the
International Center's fourth hol-
iday tour, Arthur Milne, Inter-
national Center assistant coun-
selor, said.
Mi.e and Patricia A. Delena,
Grad., will accompany the group
which will leave for New York by
train the morning of Dec. 27 and
will arrive there that evening.
The group will live at the New
Yorker Hotel during their three-
day stay and will go on sightsee-
ing tours arranged by the Mid-
town International Center.
They will visit the United Na-
tions, Guggenheim Galleries,
Statue of Liberty and take a Man-
hattan bus tour. Some of the stu-
dents will see performances of the
Metropolitan Opera and the New
York City Ballet. Milne said the
hotel might also arrange for a
block of tickets to a television
show.
On Dec. 30 the group will leave
for Washington, with reservations
at the Raleigh Hotel. They will
be greeted at a welcoming break-
fast by a Washington family.
Washington sightseeing will in-
clude the White House, Supreme
Court, Smithsonian Institute, na-
tional monuments and possibly
Mt. Vernon, Milne reported.
On the second night in Wash-
ington, individual students will be
guests at Washington homes.
They will leave the evening of Jan.
2 and arrive in Ann Arbor the fol-
lowing morning.
The cost for each student, ex-
cluding meals, will be $70, for the
six-day trip.
