By AP andtPI Senate Foreign Relations Com-
WASHI'NGTON - Paul Warn- mittee, where Warnke testified
A r Tuesday, and where his nomin-
kP' fo rPr bossat'thA Penta- _

gon said yesterday the Senate
should not approve his nomina-
tion as chief U.S. negotiator in
arms limitation talks with the
Soviet Union.
Former Deputy Defense Sec-
retary: Paul Nitze said Warnke's
views on arms control have been,
inconsistent. He also said Warn-
ke made statements on Tuesday
that "were so different from the-
sense of. his remarks from 1969
to 1976 that I'm- disturbed."
NITZE appeared before the

ation as arms negotiator and
head of the U.S. Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency is ex-
pected to win approval.
Nitze served as deputy de-
fense secretary during the John-
son administration, while Warn-
ke was an assistant secretary.
He challenged Warnke's sug-
gestion, in an article in the mag-
azine Foreign -Policy last spring,.
that the United States declare a
six month moratorium on new
weapons development and called
on the Soviet Union for recip-
rocal restraint.
"IN 1963," the article said,
"President John F. Kennedy
broke the atmospheric testing
impasse by announcing a uni-
lateral moratorium and calling
for reciprocal action from the
other side. The present strate-
gic balance is sufficiently stable
to permit us to explore this prov-
en approach to arms control."

i

His position in the- article bore f
little resemblance to Warnke's
testimony before the committee
Tuesday.
"Any agreement which is not
verifiable," he explained Tues-
day, "is worse than no agree-
ment at all." And, "I reject any
concept of unilateral disarma-
ment on the part of the United
States."
THERE WERE other possible
breaks with the past in Warn-
ke's testimony Tuesday.
He onlynmentioned, for in-.
stance, that he was concerned
about the cost effectiveness of
the Bi strategic bomber and the
Trident submarine.
But , in 1974, an emphatic
Warnke told the Senate Appro-
priations Committee:
"I THINK the BI bomber is
another case of a program that
is before its time and its time
probably will never come."
Nitze also questioned Warnke's
credentials to speak on military
requirements, weapons capabili-
ties and strategy. He said as di-
rector of the arms control agen-
cy, Warnke would be caller) upon
for advice that might differ from
that,, of the military, but it
"ought to be responsible, not
screwball or arbitrary."
Warnke is expected to be ap-
proved overwhelmingly by the
Senate committee, but Senate
rhr
Classffed.

Republican Whip Ted Stevens of I
Alaska predicted that "he's go-
ing to come close to not being
confirmed" by the Senate.
STEVENS SAID the problem
is whether Warnke, after nego-
tiating a new arms agreement
with the Soviet Union, would be
able to sell it to the Senate.
Mark Lockman, spokesman
for the conservative Liberty Lob-
by, said confirmation of the 57-
year-old Warnke, "will seriously
undermine the miiltary strength
.and defense structure of our na-
tion."
"To nominate a man who op-
poses every weapons system
that we have would be like
choosing a boll weevil to head
the Department of Agriculture,"
Lockman testified.
He said Liberty Lobby agrees
with the summary of an un-
signed memo circulated among
senators in advance of the nom-
ination. The memo, later identi-
fied as having been prepared by
the Coalition for a Democratic
Majority, said:
"Simply stated, it is hard to
see how the American side in
SALT can be effectively upheld
by someone who advocates, as
Warnke does, the unilateral
abandonment by the United
States of every weapon system
which is subject to negotiation
at SALT . . ."
Warnke has testified that the
memo distorted his views, tak-
ing statements out of context.

financial collapse.
"Uranium prices will get
worse and the problems will be
doubled by the building for morel
reactors," he explained.
Lovejoy's one-man demolition1
of the Massachusetts tower has
gained him the labels "sabo-
teur," "terrorist," and "fanat-
ic." A Massachusetts newspaper;
compared his act to the tactics
of Sirhan Sirhan, Hitler, and,
John Wilkes Booth.
Not true, says Lovejoy: "Pd
rather think of myself as an
ecologically-conscious-organic-
farmer-citizen-anti-nuclear-ac-
tivist-organizer."
HE SAYS extremist tactics-
as long as they are non-violent
- are the best methods to spur
change.
"Direct action adds force,
will, and drive," he said. "So
if legal methods fail, the citi-
zen has a non-violent way to
combat nuclear power. All po-
litical issues have to be fought
at every level, at every are-
na."
Violent acts, he said, are not
the same as destruction of prop-
erty. "Violence applies to peo-
ple, and civil disobedience is
part of the American legal sys-
tem. It's a way to change the
law by breaking the law and
appealing to a higher court for
a decision."
LOVEJOY'S RISE to national
prominence has stolen him
away from his farm commune

in Montague's Chestnut Hill.
But although he'd "rather be
milking cows on the farm," as-
he told 40 students at Earth-I
works High School Tuesday,
"the work being accomplished
balances other concessions.-
"I think I'm filling a void in 1
the environmental movement;
which has little political con-;
sciousness. The point is to get
liberals not only to give mon-
ey but to put their bodies on+
the line."+
He said he sees "direct ac-+
tion" as a "brewing tactic of
the environmental movement.
When I tipped over the weather
tower, I was the lone advocate
of direct action. Now I know1
about five or six other areas
of the country where it will be
implemented." t
LOVEJOY SAID his hard-lineI
tactics haven't alienated peopleI
in the communities he proposesJ
to help.I
"In New England, the localt
people are very conservative in
the political sense but are very1
groovy on civil libertarian is-
sues. These older people have
been remarkably supportive.
They're into defending their own
community. The hardest nut to
crack is the conservative Demo-
crat. He'll just hang out in the

when filling vacancies. Union ne-
gotiators are trying to change
the priorities in the new con-
tract.
Usually, Neff said, "if people
from within the union are rot
qualified for a position, we go
outside to hire someone."
But, he said. outside hiring "is
not done to the extent that the
union says it is done."
OF YESTERDAY'S bargain-
ing session, Anderson said "the
University is working diligently
to come to terms with our of-
fer" on promotions and trans-
fers.

"If they come back with what
'we asked for," he said, "we will
definitely start on economics."
Negotiators would not be spe-
cific on wage and benefit pro-
posals, but AFSCME has de-
clared the University's initial
proposal "totally unacceptable."
Neff maintains the University
is not alarmed at the union's
call for a strike authorization
vote this weekend. Up until now,
AFSCME has not talked ! a
strike while negotiating, he said.
Anderson said that Sunday's
mass union meeting could very
well be used to take a contract
ratification vote instead of a
strike vote.

of the co-ed bathroom were var-
ied and anonymous. Several
East Quad students complained
.that conditions "are really nas-
ty - the bathrooms are con-
tinually filthy." Another resident
stated, "I try not to go near
it. I go out of my way to use
an all-girls bathroom."
Another student disagreed, "it
doesn't make any difference.
We're just in there washing our
hands together, the' showers
aren't used that way," he said.
One Alice Lloyd resident stat-
ed, "I very rarely use it. I
only use it when it's very late
and when no one would be in it."
Another student added that "it
was kind of uncomfortable at
first but as you get to know
people you don't feel as weird."
One freshwoman concluded,
"It doesn't matter to me at all
whether you see big feet or lit-
tle feet next to you. It's ot an
added attraction but a conveni-
ence."

Computer professionals are aware that
today's most advanced large-system
technology was developed by a com pa-
ny that, not too long ago, was virtually
unknown. It was during late 1975-
when Amdahl delivered its first multi-
million-dollar 470V/6 system follow-
ing a 5-year, $50,000,000 effort-that
the company first attracted widespread
industry attention. Now, Amdahl is
the most talked about company in the
industry: a compact group of high-
talent high technologists producing the
world's highest performing general
-purpose computers. By the end of 1976,
we installed 33 systems valued at
$140,000,000 worldwide.
The original design team is still
virtually intact and working on future
systems. Although we are growing at
an extremely rapid pace, we are

committed to retaining the same crea-
tive environment that yielded the
470V/6. We are still small by computer
industry comparisons: we ended
1976 with fewer than 800 people. We
are still friendly. We still enjoy
attacking tasks'because we think
it's fun. And we still reward personal
efforts with personal recognition.
We think Amdahl is a great
place to work. There's still room on the
ground floor for you if you are about
to receive a BS or advanced degree in
electrical engineering or computer
sciences, and consider yourself a cut
above your classmates in competence,
enthusiasm and potential.
