Aganst advice,'K l o n o will be brought back to city _court today By GREG BRUSSTAR Against the advice of the county sheriff, convicted murderer Kyle Johnson, who escaped from police for a day three weeks ago, will be brought back to down- town Ann Arbor today for a court hearing. After Johnson escaped Oct. 22 while being brought to a downtown court for another hearing, city police and sheriff's officials agreed to hold future hearings for escape-prone convicts at area prisons to reduce the risk of escape. BUT, IN a change of policy, Johnson's hearing on his escape charge was scheduled for a courtroom in City ' Hall today. County Sheriff Tom Minick, however, said late yesterday he will still seek to have officials relocate Johnson's hearing to the Washtenaw County Jail, where Johnson has been held since his escape. Minick met yesterday afternoon with officials from the county prosecutor's office in an effort to persuade them to cancel Johnson's scheduled Ann Arbor court appearance today. And Minick said he will urge them again today to move the hearing to the County Jail, located near the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti border. Fifteenth District Court Judge Pieter Thomassen, who will preside over Johnson's pre-trial hearing at 3 p.m. today, said yesterday, however, that Johnson will be brought back to Ann Arbor. He said city police would take adequate steps to ensure that Johnson does not escape a second time. ANN ARBOR police Capt. Calvin Hicks said last night that security at City Hall will be beefed up for Johnson's trip to court. Almost three weeks ago, Johnson escaped from a police van in a downtown parking lot as he was being taken to a court hearing. -"Knowing his past record, I don't think (bringing him to the court) is a safe procedure," Hicks said. "But I can assure you that we'll do everything humanly possibly to keep him from escaping." Hicks added that there are greater security See JOHNSON, Page 5 The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, November 10, 1982-Page 3 R ickover:Technology mush be 'umanistic' -HAPPENINGS MSA endorses city Highlight Billy Joel will be performing at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 and $15.

OPEN AAUP CHAPTER MEETNO Friday, Nov.12 at Noon Michigan Room in Michigan League Speaker: PROFESSOR VICTOR STONE (Law, University of Illinois) National President of AAUP ON "Pros and Cons of Collective Bargaining at Universities" proposal on insulation By PHILLIP LAWES "Much harm has been done to man and nature because technologies have been used with no thought for the possible consequences of their interac- tion with nature," said Retired Admiral I;yman Rickover last night to an audience of over a thousand in Rackham Auditorium. .In an address which was sur- prisingly scarce in references to American naval power, his field of ex- pertise, Rickover called for what he termed "a humanistic atitude toward technology," stating that "since it is a product of human effort, technology can haveno legitimate purpose but to serve 'man." "HUMANISTICALLY viewed," he said, "technology is not an end in itself, but a means to an end." He also added, surprisingly for the man generally con- sidered the father of the nuclear navy, "that technology can have no legitimacy unless it inflicts no harm." He illustrated his points by citing the examples of detrimental applications of technology - the excesses of commer- cial deep-sea fishing, the overuse of modern pesticides, and the harm done' by the then untested drug thalidomide - and contrasting these with the medical profession, which he considered to be the model which technologieally oriented professions should follow. "Of all technologies, that of the physician has benefitted man most and harmed him least." he said, adding, "the stringent standards set by the profession and by society for the education and professional conduct of physicians account for this happy cir- cumstances," IN ORDER to make technology safe, Rickover proposed the "professionalizing of the decision- making process in technology. I have long believed that we should come ap- preciably closer to a human humanistic technology if engineering were prac- ticed as a humanistic profesison, and if engineers were accorded the professional independence granted the members of liberal professions." Rickover was removed in January by the Reagan administration in a storm of c9ntroversy after serving 60 years in the United States Navy. In the short question and answer period which followed his thirty-minute speech, the 81-year-old retired admiral, a recipient fo some of this nation's highest honors, including the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, showed the irascibility for which he has become famous. He repeatedly responded in a brusque and impatient manner to questions posed by the audience. When asked by an engineering student of the necessity of a code of ethics for engineers, Rickover said "Why don't you go to church for that." After the speech, audience members responded ambivalently to the ad- miral's presentation. "The lecture was very good. The question and answer period typifies his style, but I don't know how helpful it was," said Susan Kling, a graduate student -in public policy, adding, "He could have been more forthright." By GEORGE ADAMS The Michigan Student Assembly last night endorsed petitions to put a "weatherization" proposal on next April's city ballot and to protest the removal of vending machines from University libraries. The "weatherization" proposal, ac- cording to its author Paul Teich, would set minimum standards for insulation of rented housing. IF ENACTED, landlords would be required to caulk and weatherstrip their buildings, install storm windows or similar insulation, tape furnace duc- ts, and install automatic setback ther- mostats-which keep an apartment at its most efficient level of heating by varying the temperature throughout the day. Teich, an attorney for Student Legal Services, said the most expensive of these requirements, the automatic thermostats, would cost approximately $30 to $50 per house or apartment. Teich said that 3,750 signatures on the petition are necessary before January 3 for the proposal to be put on the ballot in April. He also said the proposal had distinct benefits for all renters, especially students. "There are about 20,000 student ren- ters in Ann Arbor, and if these measures save each one only $5, that's $100,000 saved by the student com- munity," he said. "There are 50,000 renters in total, and we expect these improvements to save between $50 and $100 per renter, so the savings are in the millions." THE ASSEMBLY also approved a petition campaign to prevent the removal Hof-vending machines in the Graduate and Undergraduate Libraries. The petition states that removing the machines will be counter-productive because it will encourage people to bring food into the libraries from out- side and to socialize in the study areas instead of the lounge. The libraries are considering taking the vending machines out of the buildings completely and, in the Grad, convert the lounge to a study area. MSA'S PETITION also defends the present uses of the lounges, saying they offer advantages to small study groups and provide a place for students to relax for a snack or coffee break. "There are only two reasons for taking out the machines: to protect library materials and to increase study space" said MSA member Mark Kleinman. "The UGLI's policy (of restricting food to the lounge) is so strictly enforced that there really isn't a problem, and the amount of stufy space created would be minimal."
