Wage Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, March 10, 197W Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY ELECTRONIC BATTLEFIELD DEVELOPED: 'U' researches war instruments (Continued from Page 1) been active in developing ad- vanced acoustic and seismic de- tection devices and especially in developing automatic means of identifying sounds and vibra- tions. Three weeks ago Willow Run sent in a proposal for. an "Air Droppable Seismometer" to the Army, requesting $24,640 for a ten month period. Other projects now in effect in- clude a long-range program on Acoustic Surveillance Systems for the Navy and Automatic Identification of Acoustic and Seismic sources for the Army. The University's R e s e a r c h Committee, which reviews all proposals for classified projects, has approved 21 proposals for acoustic and seismic sensing with a value of $1.3 million since it began operation in 1968. The guidelines used by the committee, as approved by the Regents, provide that the Uni- versity will not approve any pro- jects "the specific purpose of which is tokill or incapacitate human beings." Critics of the committee point to the fact that the committee has rejected only one project in almost three years, claiming that any project, except for perhaps guns or ammunition, would be approved under the broad guide- lines now in effect. Another field of war technology which University researchers are advancing is in the area of elec- tronic countermeasures. These techniques allow offen- sive and reconnaissance aircraft to complete their missions over enemy territory by preventing counterattack with electronic "black boxes." These black boxes confuse ra- dar and heat-seeking missiles, jam ground- and air-based ra- dars with false signals, and block communications. The work on electronic counter- measures, done both at Willow Run and the electrical engineer- ing department's Cooley Elec- tronics Laboratory, is among the most heavily classified 'esearch that the University participates in. Recent projects and proposals include Countermeasures Tech- nique Feasibility Evaluation, Air- craft Warning Flight Test Equip- ment, Investigation of Advanced Countermeasures Techniques and Infrared Warning System Stu- dies. The Classified Research Com- mittee has approved 15 proposals for classified projects in this area with a value of $8.4 million since 1968. There are a number of other areas in which University re- searchers work that are related to the electronic battlefield. Re- searchers at Willow Run have long been active in lasers and holography (three - dimensional lenseless photography using las- ers). "Applied (laser) research is be- ing supported (by the Defense Department) for a variety of pur- poses including . . . distance measuring, surveillance, target acquisition and detection, night vision devices and techniques, guidance systems and laser simi- ulators for training gunners," ac- cording to. comments prepared by Pentagon research director Foster. Another use of the laser is in an integrated observation sys- tem that allows soldiers in Inlo- china to fight at night. Prof. William Brown, director of Willow Run, says the lab now is concentrating on holography and non-destructive testing of materials rather than the more weapon - oriented uses of lasers, adding however that Willow Run work "on display techniques probably relates to the simula- tors" used for training gunners. The Cooley Electronics Lab is undertaking a long-term project aimed at using holography for detecting electronic bugs, bombs and other items planted' within solid objects. In the communications field, Cooley Lab is participating in a long-range Navy program to im- prove underwater communica- tions for military submarines. In a related effort, the elec- trical engineering department's Radiation Laboratorty has clas- sified projects to design antennas for the military. In summarizing the situation, research director Foster says, "A number of individual wea- ' pons are coming along. For in- stance there is a surveillance ra- dar and other sensors for the soldiers, better communications, grenade launchers and anti-tank weapons. Drawing on the results of re- search at the University and from industrial contractors the military is testing devices for the electronic battlefield. The tests are being performed by a special Army agency called MASSTER (Mobile Army Sensor System, Test Evaluation and Review). Realistic maneuvers test sen- sors and other elements of the electronic battlefield, evaluating their effectiveness under simu- lated combat conditions. "Gen. William Westmoreland, Army chief of staff, believes that the new electronics technology has brought the Army to the threshold of a new concept for the battlefield that may be as revolutionary in warfare as the introduction of the helicopter or the tank," the New York Times states. University researchers are aid- ing in this effort, selling their unique capabilities to the Defense Department through classified research., They note that their work is being used in Vietnam and point out that they are serving their country and . promoting national defense. As Willow Run Director Brown has said, "The Vietnam war may be a mistake, but you just com- pound the felony if you have troops in Vietnam and don't send them the best rifles you can de- velop." "If you want a free University, you need a country that's free;" he concludes. Profs to fast in protest of war researcb (Continued from Page 1) -Refuse research contracts re- quiring that security clearance by the federal government be condi- tional for faculty or student par- ticipation in the research. -Require any research facility at the University to be open to any qualified faculty member and stu- dent within the financial capacity of that facility to support research. Urging others to join the fast, history Prof. Sam Warner and Young said, "Outraged by the con- tinuing death and destruction in- flicted on Indo-China by American power, we find it unconszionable that our University is still nost to military-sponsored activities serv- ing the American war machine." Currently, the University con- ducts $5.6 million worth of classi- fied research, for the federal* gov- ernment. Commenting on the fast, dentist- ry Prof. Gerald Cfiarbeneau, chair- man of Assembly's classified Re- search Committee called it "an at- tempt to tie a set of emotions to an issue which should be looked at with clear thinking." His committee of nine faculty members and three graduate stu- dents reviews all classified pro- posals submitted by University re- searchers. The controversy over classified research was raised last month af- ter the publication of a letter by Michael Knox, a student member of the Classified Research Com- mittee, criticizing such research and asking for permission to speak at next week's Assembly meeting. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM: HEW receives 'U' plans for equal employment of women (Continued from Page 1) women to 7,962 and a drop from 7,820 men to 7,625. The goals and timetables were formulated, according to a Uni- versity statement, "with recogni- tion of the-facts that for most of the schools and colleges there will be no increase in instructional positions for the next three years and that open positions in such cases will be limited to turnover in current staff." The statement added that "the probable decline in the fiscal sup- port for higher education in the future, the necessary action in minority recruitment and place- ment, the speed with which these data were collected all indicate that these goals and timetables are subject to periodic revision." The statement added that the goals and timetables will be per- iodically reviewed by the Commis- sion on Women. According to the statement, the development of the goals and timetables considered the "current extent of female employment" within the organizational units of the University; the "qualified wo- men currently employed in the unit whose training, experience and capabilities merit advance- ment;" the availability of women qualified for the position, and the availability of qualified women "whom current recruitment pro- cedures may not normally ident- ify." Among the commitments stated in the nine-point affirmative. ac- tion program are: -"The University will achieve salary equity between male and female employes having equivalent qualifications, responsibilities, and performance in the same job clas- sification." -"Each administrative or op- erating unit, in cooperation with the personnel function, will con- tinue to review and evaluate the, status of staff members." -"The University will vigorous- ly recruit females, including wo- men for academic appointments, to assure equal treatment for men and women." -"The University will pay back wages to any female who has lost wages due to discrimination by the University because of her sex." -"Special attention will be given to the inclusion of females on University committees." Other points in the program in- volve the availability of informa- tion on employment, and the Uni- versity's commitment to informing various units of the "responsibility to assure compliance with the Uni- versity's Equal Employment Op- portunity Affirmative Action Pro- gram." Although the University specific- ally commits itself to achieving salary equity between male and fe- male employes in the same job classifications, the statement also says the University "will strive to achieve salary equity among all employes having equivalent re- sponsibilities, performance, and qualifications." The affirmative action program was begun after HEW withheld federal contracts from the Univer- sity last fall on the grounds that there was University discrimina- tion against women. After two months of negotiations, HEW provisionally accepted the University's program and allowed the federal contracts to go through. HEW then charged the University with formulating specific goals ande. time tables by March 8. Members of the Commission of Women will review the goals and time tables and then work on for- mulating a grievance procedure for women who feel they are being discriminated against, according to Newell.

Delhey denies any knowledge of an agreement cited by several city officials under which he would decide on a case by case basis whether to prosecute a defendant under state law or refer the case to the city attorney for city law prosecution. Police Chief Walter Krasny says that at least for the present noth- ing will be changed concerning prosecution for marijuana posses- sion in Ann Arbor. He says the police will continue to refer all cases to the county prosecutor's office for prosecution under state law until such time as_ a new referral policy is reached by the city. City Attorney Jerold Lax, author of the new ordinance, expresses dismay at the possibility of the law being obstructed by Delhey saying, "to preclude Prosecution under city law is an unacceptable approach" to marijuana law en- forcement. Krasny says a meeting between high officials of the city and county should be forthcoming in which the matter of who is re- sponsible for deciding which law to use will be decided. coming ..-. S.O.S. resentatives are tenured, and members of the University who philosophically o p p o s e classified research are not eligible for com- mittee membership . . . one (of the members) is currently involved in conducting classified research." While the committee's report states "numerous meetings" were held during the year with re- searchers involved in classified projects "regarding the appro- priateness of certain projects," the report makes no mention of com- munication "within the University community" called for in commit- tee guidelines. According to Knox, the result has been that proposals are con- sidered in a "vacuum. Because of its fetish about secrecy, decisions are based only on information sup- plied by the researchers them- selves," Knox charges. When contacted last night, dentistry Prof. Gerald Charbeneau. chairman of the Classified Re- search Committee, said that de- spite Knox's statement, he felt the committee is "widely representa- tive of the University community." Though declining to comment directly on Knox's charges, Char- beneau emphasized that the con- fidential nature of proposals for classified projects before the com- mittee must be retained pending their approval because they repre- sent "the original work of the re- searchers involved." Acting otherwise could jeopar- dize the original researchers' credit for his work, he said. The committee's report itself indicates the continued predom- inance of research into radar and infra-red sensing devices among the University's classified military work. Of $4,637,294 in new classified funds awarded to the Univer- sity in the past year, $1,573,000 was earmarked for development of the Air Force's radar techni- ques. Knox is expected to present a critical minority report on the committee's activities.
