The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, May 5, 1982-Page 13 EMU leaders study hi-tech impact By SCOTT STUCKAL Eastern Michigan University's College of Technology will examine high technology's impact on society with a new lecture series that starts tonight. The series, co-sponsored by EMU and the Michigan Technology Council, will look at how the state's em- phasis on expanding its high technology resources may affect labor. The series' first lecture, by Univer- sity Philosophy Prof. Frithjof Bergmann, will con- cern high technology's effect on the state's job market. THE LECTURE series is part of EMU's unique ap- proach to teaching technology, which combines business and a social perspective. While the Univer- sity of Michigan gives students specialized technological training within a specific department, EMU's technology college stresses an inter- disciplinary approach which looks at the social role of high technology, according to Al Rudisill, dean of the college. "The knowledge explosion has moved so fast (in high technology) that it's difficult to get the breadth and depth of learning desired," Rudisill said when discussing EMU's emphasis on social questions. Rudisill said the College of Technology was created in the fall of 1980 in response to a survey of southeastern Michigan businesses. The survey showed that businesses were looking for students trained to work at middle-management positions in high technology, Rudisill added. EMU's College of Technology produces middle- level managers who can serve as "a bridge" between the highly specialized technologists from large universities such as Michigan and lower-level technicians from two-year community colleges, said EMU's Associate Prof. Alexandra Aldridge. The lecture series, which ends June 16, will spotlight several social issues that are part of EMU's technology curriculum. Other speakers will include United Auto Workers economist Dan Luria, who will discuss technology's impact on factory workers; and Lt. Gov. James Brickley, who will address high technology's role in government. f you think a "one-piece shell"is an oyster over's nightmare, you're not ready for Memorex.
