Page 2-ri'day, June 19, 1981-The Michigar iDaily 'U' researcher Katona dead at 79 4 George Katona, a pioneer in the field of research at the University's Institute of Social Research and widely con- sidered the "dean of American behavioral economists," died yester- day in Germany at the age of 79. A member of the faculty since 1946, Katona was the originator of the regular Surveys of Consumer Attitudes. He was also founder and long-time director of the Economic Behavior Program in theSurvey Research Cen- ter, a division of ISR. Although Katona officially retired in 1972, "the only thing that retired was his salary," said James Morgan, program director in the Survey Research Center and a colleague of Katona for many years. "He was here all the time," said Morgan, adding "he would come in every morning." Katona recently wrote a book entitled "A New Economic Era," said Morgan. It forecasts the un- stable times we live in and followed the philosophy he had developed during most of his life, he said. "Katona had a long and interesting career," said Morgan. Born in Hungary, Katona went to Germany to study. He started as a psychologist and became interested in economics during Germany's post-war depression and hyperinflation, Morgan said. He came to the United States in 1933. Katona spent his life trying to get the economists and psychologists to listen to each other, said Morgan.

For two summers, the bird has lived in a row of crepe myrtle trees lining a parking lot used by police officers and city employees. "I've seen grown men out here just panic when he comes," said Police Cpl. Bob Haynes as he watched the bird twitching his tail on a telephone wire. There are stories about an officer who tried to capture the bird in a blanket and jokes about motorcycle cops who put on their helmets just to walk out of the parking lot. But no one wants the pesky fowl removed. "This bird is like our Loch Ness monster," said Traffic Division Officer J. C. Thomas. "You think we want to do away with out landmark?" The bird swoops down on un- suspecting pedestrians. Sometimes he merely flaps his wings around their heads. Occasionally he grabs a clump of hair with his feet. He pecked one detective's elbow. "I think he's claimed about an acre of land around here," Haynes said. No one knows for sure why the bird is so irritable. Some believe the bird is protecting a nest. Others think he has a grudge against police of- ficers. "We theorize that he has got a ticket somewhere in the past," burglary squad Sgt. R. F. Miller said. i .
