Criminal prosecution is not necessary computer for most of the computer abuse on campuses, said Parker. He said univer- sity disciplinary procedures "may be P o c the best way to handle it (campus problems)." The lag in legislation has slowed the prolem on formulation of policy on campuses, which, according to Parker, is desperately needed. He lectures ¢at universities across the country, em- cam pus es phasizing that student misuse of com- puters should not be treated lightly because it may lead to computer abuse in a society which is increasingly "com- puter"-oriented. Job counselors indicate a knowledge of computers is definitely the "in" thing on the job market - employers this year are expected to hire 30 per cent more computer graduates than last year. Schools are reflecting this trend and training more people with knowledge of computer technology. Next year's first year students at Harvard University will have to demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers before they can graduate. While computer program. ming courses aren't required here, a University computer counselor estimated that about half of un- dergraduates take a computer-related course. Future-implications of this expected influx of citizens knowledgeable in the workings of computers have led University administrators to recognize an urgent need for written policy on computer ethics. "We need a statement to let people know we take it seriously," said Bernard Galler, LSA associate dean for long range planning. "(There is) at least a potential problem." 'U' media director says Chinese TV on upswing By BETH PERSKY Although Chinese television lags a decade behind its American counter- part, the quality should reach the level of U.S. television within the next decade, said Frederic Remley, Univer- sity Television Center director and vice-president of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). "The (Chinese) engineers are of a very high quality," said Remley, who recently returned from the Peoples' Republic of Chins. Part of a three-man delegation invited by the Chinese Ministry of Culture, Remley said the Chinese engineers "are doing well with what they have," even though they lack the right equipment and have a limited budget. FOR THE ten-year period from 1966 to 1976, while China was in the midst of a social revolution, technology stood still, said Remley. "They have been somewhat isolated, especially from the, U.S. TV people" According to Remley, China has only one television station, the "National Network," which is controlled by the government. No advertising is allowed in current Chinese programming, which consists of a few hours of educational programming used in the cities to teach students, and several hours of variety programming each evening, he said. "They're very limited in their programs,' he said. "They rely on historical dramas and musicals." REMLEY SAID the Chinese network is "crying for new scripts" and is "trying to encourage people to write for movies and TV." The Chinese are "aware of what's going on," said Remley. News originates in Peking and Shanghai, he said, as well as smaller cities throughout China. "Almost everything is broadcast in color," Remley said. "But there are very few color receivers. The whole development of color viewing has a long way to go." REMLEY SAID most of the people in China do not have television sets. The average citizen--must wait three years if he wants to-buy a 15-inch black and white set, which costs as much as the average Chinese family can save in the period of one year - $400 in American money, he said. Television in China is currently only VHF, said Remley, but he said he believes China will carry UHF channels, within a year. The language presents additional problems for Chinese directors. "(There are) so many dialects in China they have to make a couple of dozen sound tracks for every movie," Remley said. 'U' chemistry employee tries unsuccessful suicide By TIM YAGLE A University employee was reported to be in critical condition yesterday following an apparent suicide attempt Wednesday, a University Hospital spokesperson said. Leona Tucker, who has been a ser- vice worker in a laboratory in the Chemistry building for 20 years, ap- parently tried to kill herself with cyanide, according to Associate Chemistry Department Chairman RobertTaylor. PROF. THOMAS DUNN, who curren- tly is on leave but in residence as the Chemistry Department Chairman, said the incident apparently took place 'near Huron High School, but I don't know." "She admittedly took the cyanide," Dunn said. "It's a very delicate situation. It has nothing to do with the (Chemistry) department. There are very few people who know what's going on." Dunn declined to comment further on the incident. Robert Kuczkowski, acting Chemistry department chairman, agreed with Dunn, and said it's a "sen- sitive issue." However, he said "the lab does contain all sorts of chemicals. Any member of the staff has access to them." Officials from the Ann Arbor Police Department said they were informed that a female had been admitted to University Hospital Wednesday, but provided no further details on the in- cident. Local woman fills life with activism and (Continued from Page 3) thopedic Clinic "as a qualified trained social worker for the first time in my life," she said. Within four months, however, she went back to visiting teaching at Flint, where she met her husband. POOLE RECALLED on'e incident when her group, which often went to Washington for seminars, met with President Harry Truman to discuss the draft. "We knew he was for it (the draft) ... Some people were afraid that if we went against the president, and social work told him we were against the draft, he just might (stop) the seminars. They voted to express our convictions and let the chips fall where they may." When they talked with the president, Poole said, "Truman said 'Thank you' and that was it." Poole is involved in lobbying against the draft amendment currently before Congress. "I've circulated a petition (among other Hillside residents) regarding the draft. When they find out what the issue is, they (become) im- mediately involved."
