The Michigan Daily-Thursday, March 26, 1981-Page 3 Former defense head: Military not a business By LINDA RUECKERT The American military cannot be managed like an ordinary business because conflicting pressures will always limit its peacetime efficiency, former Secretary of Defense Harold Brown told a business school audience yesterday. Speaking to about 500 listeners in Hale Auditorium, Brown said the department must always be prepared for armed conflict and that need ham- pers its peacetime organizing ability. "INDIVIDUAL corporate mistakes can have catastrophic financial effects for many people, wrong domestic policies can damage the country, but mistaken defense policies can kill us all," Brown said. "In that sense," he continued, "the Defense Department cannot be managed like a business." Brown, a physicist and former president of the California Institute of Technology, said the complexity of the Defense Department prevents it from being measured like a business. THE ARMED forces, unlike a business, must be prepared to deter armed conflict and fight if necessary, he said. The Defense Department must also maintain and repair a much wider variety of equipment than any private business, ranging from aircraft carriers to light bulbs. Brown advocated more authority for military departments in the management of national security in- terests, but stopped short of endorsing a resumption of the draft. "Compulsive military service would create a much closer identity" between the civilian and military populations, Brown said, but "whether that identity would be positive or negative is another question." Commenting on his experience as secretary, Brown said, "It's no surprise that every defense secretary comes in- to office declaring that he will cut back, save on waste, and organize and manage better. But each-including myself-has left office at least as frustrated at what he has failed to get done as pleased with what he has ac- complished improving management and efficiency." IN A BRIEF question and answer session following his speech, Brown said he did not foresee a war between the United States and the Soviet Union as long as both sides maintain updated military capabilities. "We must have sufficient military capability such that the Soviets will not expect to win a war," Brown said. When asked about U.S. foreign policy toward South Africa, Brown said, "The Soviets may be able to rally the black majority (in South Africa) against the U.S. if the U.S. is seen as upholding the status quo. The U.S. must continue to put pressure on South Africa for further liberalization." LSAT GRE GM AT Test Preparation How do you prepare for these important tests?

'U' orchestra tour will lack viola player By CAROL CHALTRON The University Symphony Or- chestra will tour Europe this summer without a twelfth viola player following conflicts over audition procedures bet- ween the orchestra's director and some violists. The violists complained last week when Conductor Gustav Meier auditioned a non-University violist to fill a vacant chair for the orchestra's two-week European trip. The student musicians maintain that Meier should have held open auditions for University students in the less-experienced Philharmonic Orchestra. MEIER COUNTERED that he is familiar enough with the Philharmonic musicians to know that none of them are capable of learning the necessary new material before April 28, when the orchestra leaves for France. He auditioned a friend of an orchestra violinist Iast Wednesday, but decided not to hire her. As a result, the twelfth viola chair, left vacant after a violist decided not to go on the tour, will remain unfilled. A twelfth violist is not considered essen- tial for the trip. CLAIMING THAT Meier's action was "incredibly unprofessional," according to violist Nancy Nehring, the violists presented the conductor with a petition last Wednesday asking that he hold ripen auditions and give preference to University students. Meier "is very unfair when it comes to audition procedures," said another violist, Charlet Ness. According to the violists, Meier told them that they were reacting prematurely to the special audition. The conductor said that if the non- University musician had turned out to be a fine player, he would have then held competitive auditions. Meier only auditioned the violist because he though she might be able to learn the material for the four different programs that will be given on the tour, according to the violists.

Noting a court order requires the state to avoid overcrowding, he said "It's not a question of whether we're going to release people. It's a question of how we're going to do it." THE EMERGENCY law was passed last fall after voters rejected a proposed .1 percentage point income tax increase to fund new prison con- struction. When the prison system exceeds its capacity for 30 days, the law requires the Corrections Commission and the governor to declare a state of emergen- cy and reduce minimum prison terms by 90 days. Backers stress prisoners still must face parole hearings before winning release. If the prison population is not within legal limits within 90 days, another sen- tence reductionmust be made. JOHNSON SAID the state system has been over capacity for 22 consecutive days. He said the addition of a new 440-bed facility and two 80-bed camps within a year should ease the situation, but noted there has been "a significant in- crease in crime right now in the state, particularly serious violent crime." Johnson called the crowding law "an excellent short-term solution as the prison population begins to burgeon but not along-term solution." "There is a limit to how many times officials can reduce sentences and still retain a responsible public policy," he said. Johnson stressed the law only moves up prisoner's release dates by three months - a fraction of most sentences - and does not affect those with man- datory minimum sentences.
