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.
