children would be taught to read and
write both traditional and 'phonemic
spelling. Citron said he is aware of the
expense that this implies, but feels that
the returns - in terms of time, con-
fidence, careers, and perhaps even
money - outweigh that expense.
BUT PHONEMIC spelling is meeting
a good deal of resistance, primarily
from educators and linguists, Citron
says.
"We are a literate civilization, and
the hundreds of millions of books that
are printed cannot easily be changed,"
says Prof. Roderick Fraser, assistant
director of the University's English
Language Institute.
"Educational people don't want that.
They feel a great tradition behind
that," he adds.
ANOTHER problem with phonemic
spelling is that the relationship between
some words would no longer be ap-
parent, says English Prof. Richard
Bailey.
Bailey uses the word "sign" as an
example. The "g" in "sign" serves no
phonetic function, he says, but if "sign"
is spelled without a "g," its connection
with "signify" and "signature" would
vanish.
Bailey says choice of pronunciation is
the most obvious problem. It would be
very difficult to decide "whose pronun-
s 'chaynj'
ciation becomes standard," he says.
One word that would become even
more controversial if simplified is the
word "beer" Bailey says. The English
do not pronounce the "r" in "beer," and
if an Englishman were simplifying the
spelling of "beer," he would, according
to Bailey, reasonably spell it "beea."
SURPRISINGLY, BEtSS's board of
directors includes college professors,
as well as corporate executives, jour-
nalists, teachers, and librarians.
Spelling simplification, says EMU
President John Porter is "a project
worth intellectual pursuit."
Although he says not all words could
be accepted the way they are pronoun-
ced, there is a need for research to
determine which words might be adap-
ted.
Porter says he does not believe the
country is ready yet for simpler
spelling.
RollinMarquis, city librarian in
Dearborn, says he believes spelling
reform is needed because "nobody can
spell anymore." The only solution
Marquis says would work is "if some
more phonetic method" for spelling
were to be adopted.
Toe learning Marquis says, is the
principal difficulty with our current
spelling system, and a system based on
pronunciation would be much easier to
learn.
IN BRIEF
Complied from Associated Press and
United Press international reports
University of Connecticut head
named to MSU presidency
EAST LANSING - The Michigan State University Board of Trustees
Thursday named John DiBiaggio MSU's new chief executive and the
University of Connecticut president said he expects no sweeping ad- ;,
ministrative changes.
DiBiaggio was the only candidate proposed by the board's search commit
tee and the recommendation was unanimously accepted, as expected,
following less than an hour of discussion.*
DiBiaggio will takehover for departing MSU President Cecil Mackey on
July 1, 1985 at a salary of $99,800.
"I don't usually bring in large numbers of people," DiBiaggio said at a
news conference following his appointment. He said he expects to be able todya
work with the administration team already in place at the school.
Political leaders honor King
ATLANTA - The political elite joined civil rights leaders and thousands of
ordinary citizens yesterday to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., the
man who helped make freedom and justice a reality for black Americans.
For three hours they came forward to speak of King - Vice President
George Bush; former President Jimmy Carter; Georgia Gov. Joe Frank
Harris, and black leaders including Jesse Jackson and Andy Young.
In Washington, President Reagan released portions of a letter sent to
King's family.
"His sense of family and community, his spirit of charity and neigh-
borliness and, above all, his dedication to the ideals of justice and equality
leave a shining legacy for others to follow," said Reagan.
"The achievements of Dr. King and his family will live in the hearts not
only of the American people, but of all those who hunger for freedom and
equality anywhere in the world."
Lebanon requests reparations
NAQOURA, Lebanon - Lebanese negotiators yesterday demanded a
quick and complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from south Lebanon and
payment of $8 billion to $10 billion in war reparations by the Jewish state.
The Lebanese military delegation presented a long list of tough demands'
in the second round of negotiations with Israeli officers at the headquarters
of the United Nations peacekeeping force.
Israel is concerned with the security of its northern border if the troops are,
pulled back. Almost every point the Lebanese raised on the future of south
Lebanon conflicted with Israel's previously stated positions.
Conference sources said Israel rejected the Lebanese declaration and
asked instead for a detailed Lebanese plan on security arrangements'
following an Israeli withdrawal from the country it invaded two and a half
years ago.
The Lebanese agreed to continue discussions of the security issue when the
talks resume Monday in this border town, ,according to the sources who
spoke on condition they not be identified.
Chilean troops detain 1,000s
SANTIAGO, Chile - Heavily armed troops yesterday surround' . a San-
tiago slum, seized thousands of men and teenage boys and herded them into
a soccer stadium for questioning in a search for opponents of the military
regime.
Armored cars and army units equipped with combat gear lined the streets
of the shanty town of La Victoria and helicopters hovered overhead as police
launched a house-to-house roundup at dawn of most of the male population.
Catholic Church officials estimated at least 3,000 men over the age of 15
were placed on buses and trucks and taken to a nearby soccer stadium for
questioning.
It was thesecond mass detention of slum dwellers since President Augusto
Pinochet placed Chile under state of siege ten days ago to counter mounting
protests against his 11-year-old military government and a wave of terrorist
bombings.
U.S. production remains steady
WASHINGTON - The nation's industrial production remained unchanged
in October as a hoped for increase in automobiles failed to materialize, the
Federal Reserve reported yesterday.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department said business inventories
rose a moderate $3.3 billion, or 0.6 percent, in September.
The Fed also reported that during September, consumers increased their
outstanding installment credit by $4.28 billion, a smaller increase than the
$7.11 billion reported in July and $6 billion'in August.
The reports indicate a slowdown in the rapid economic recovery that was
going on during the first half of the year. The economy grew at an annual in-
Elation-adjusted rate of 10 percent in the first quarter, 7 percent in the second;
but only 2.7 percent in the third, according to preliminary figures.

that the two lone independents now on
LSA-SG can fit in with the rest of the
slate. She said she wants to see what the
independents have to say before she
takes command at tonight's regularly
scheduled LSA-SG council meeting.
"I know people don't like to vote
straight ticket, but all the people that I
got to run with me were all of top
quality," Tear said. "We handed out
6,000 fliers, and talked up the elections
at several of the dorm councils. You

them to vote."
