The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 11, 1983-Page 5 Burfor From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - A somber Anne Burford said yesterday she resigned as ead of the Environmental Protection Agency because "I became the issue" and it was impossible for her to do her job. Asked whether she was a scapegoat, Burford said: "I've never claimed vic- timization and I'm not going to claim it now. THE WHITE House moved swiftly to put the controversy that forced Burford out of offibe to rest, giving a House sub- committee boxes of confidential EPA Rdocuments that Reagan previously had d replacement ordered withheld.

Hair said replacing Burford would affect Reagan environmental policy "about the same way that replacing a water boy affects a lousy football team." While environmentalists urged an appointee free of industry ties, the names mentioned most frequently as theWhite House began its search all had ties to business. John Quarles, deputy administrator at the agency during the 1970s, has spent the past two years as a chief in- dustry lobbyist urging Congress to loosen the Clean Air Act. Also being mentioned are Washington attorney Stanley Legro and James Mahoney, the founder of a Massachusetts environ- mental research company with a long list of industry clients.

The conference will run through noon tomorrow. MCCARTHY SAID that political ads are a step toward the 1984 described by author George Orwell because "they are a conditioning effort and they ought tobe abolished." He voiced similar sen- tiients about TV news. '(Newscasters) don't give you time to.think," he said. "You can't get the whole story in 45 seconds." McCarthy said that government rhetoric has become more "Or- wellian," citing examples from the Vietnam war and the debate surroun- ding nuclear weapons. In Orwell's wprld, the government freely used language to distort people's perceptions of reality. DURING THE Vietnam war, he said, "pacification" meant "driving villagers into the roads, shooting cattle, and bombing villages." "McCarthy said television news turned the Vietnam war into a "simpleissue Because they could take pictures of it. 'I would aboli'sh all TV news if I could," he said. 'McCarthy said the possibility of a sbciety similar to the one described in Orwell's book is not as remote as some people think. y"IF YOU WERE alert in the fifties, you could watch our basic liberties being eroded," through such methods as loyalty oaths, he said. All following schools will elect one candidate Architecture & Urban Planning, Art, Dentistry, Education, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Music, Natural Resources, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Social Work Prospective candidates must submit applications to the MSA office no later than 5:00 p.m., March 15, 1983.

GAC Professors debate '1984': is novel fact or fiction? (Continued from Page 1) Allen singled out China as an exam- ple of a totalitarian state. "There is striking corroboration in some of the ideological writings and policies of the People's Republic of China in the recent past." He described Chinese literature as being obsessed with the problem of per- sonal relationships in totalitarian states: he compared the mass adulation of Mao with the "prescribed sessions of group adulation for Big Brother and hate for his enemies" which were required of Orwell's fictitious charac- ters. Allen said the Supreme Court has been an intruder into peoples' privacy. "In the famous 'pen register' case, a prevailing majority of the present Supreme Court held that government, without a warrant, may acquire the phone numbers dialed by a suspected person, apparently on the grounds that because the caller necessarily discloses this information to the telephone com- pany, it cannot be deemed private." Allen did voice some optimism. "Human nature does overthrow totalitarian regimes." But he was less optimistic about the possibility of over- throwing a totalitarian regime in today' s high-tech world" The resources ' 764-0558 764-0558 4 of the modern state might prohibit its destruction," he said. 1984 is undoubtedly one of the most popular books in our culture, Allen said. "This definitely says something abut our society." Allen summed up his remarks saying, "It is modern culture that sub- verts the private world." Read and Use Daily Classifieds MICHIGRAS 1983 ...
