PAGs ZSIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 20, 1953 NEW PROGRAM LAUNCHED: Hayes Leads Human Behavior Studies * * * *. By BECKY CONRAD j Heading so young an organiza.. tion that "I dbn't even have a secretary yet," Samuel P. Hayes recently took on the job as Direc- tor of the Foundation. for Re- search on Human *Behavior. Formerly chief of the Foreign Operations Administration's Far East Program, Hayes will head the non-profit corporation which pools contributions from business and other organizations. * * * NEWLY ESTABLISHED in Ann Arbor, the Foundation aims to in- creasenthe scientific knowledge of human behavior and to promote the use of this knowledge by in- dustrial, government and social welfare agencies. The K e lo g g Foindation launched the group's activities with funds enabling it to un- .dertake a three-year nation- wide program of seminars for organization officials and re- search personnel, publication re- ports, experiments in applying new research operations and in other ways to translate behav- ioral research into action. Named special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State in January, 1948, Hayes was respon- sible in the next two years for coordinating the planning of the' Point Four program. Early in"1950, he went to Squth- east Asia as Deputy Chief of the United States Economic Survey Mission initiating American eco- nomic aid for activities in that area. * * * LATER APPOINTED Chief of the Economic Cooperation Admin- istration's Mission to Indonesia, Hayes explained, "These jobs were along the same line as my present one. In the ECA administrative position, I helped promote utiliza- ting new techniques of agricul- Opera Named "U n' Atom" has been se- lected as the name for the 1953 Union Opera, general chairman Mike Scherer, '54, said yester- day. The all-male musical comedy will be presented locally from Dee. 9 to 11, and an extensive road trip during the Christmas vacation has been planned for the show. It will deal with atomic en- ergy, home brew, bureaucracy and the simple hill folk of Ten- nessee. Sterling Talks To Journalists "The newspaper must hold a mirror before society so that so- ciety can see what it looks like," Donald J. Sterlin, retired manag- ing editor of the "Oregon Jour- nal" said at a journalism lecture yesterday. Sterling, who enrolled in' the University 49 years ago, said "Freedom is a two-way street, and we must allow freedom even for thoughts we hate." In the Soviet Union, he commented, they are free to publish what the govern- ment permits. Chest Passes Half-way Mark Ann Arbor's Community Chest, drive passed the half-way mark in solicitations yesterday, main- taining the pace necessary to reach the campaign goal of $168,000 by Friday, the last day of the drive. Including only about half of the contributions made in a house- ta-house solicitation last Thurs- day evening, the total collections stood yesterday at $85,385. Returns so far indicate increas- es over last year in one-third of the districts reporting.

Through case studies and seminars, the group will "pro- vide the channel through which research results are communi- cated to people who can use thein," he noted. } First seminar will be a two-day session in December or January when businessmen and research scientists discuss "Using Econo- mic Expectations and Purchase Intentions in Forecasting Business Conditions." 3-D TOPOLOGY: 'U' Professor studies Knots Research agencies from univer- sity campuses all over the nation, including the University's Insti- tute for Social Research, will par- ticipate in the proposed six semi- nar meetings this year. THE FOUNDATION'S first Di- rector is also widely known as a teacher, writer and research di- rector in the field of social sci- ence and its utilization in business and government. After war-time service on Lend-Lease supply and rehabil- itation problems in Washington, North Africa and liberated Eur- ope, Hayes served as Associate Marketing and Research Direc- tor for Dun and Bradstreet in New York. Foundation-sponsored research will focus on the effectiveness of organizations and methods of su- pervision and administration, eco- nomic motivation, communica- tions, attitudes toward national and international issues and im- provement in research methods.

Our women's management training BY JANET FORD When is a knot not a knot? The study of knot theory with- in the mathematical field of to- pology is devoted entirely to un- tangling knotty problems like this. AT A RECENT meeting of the Mathematics Club, Prof. E. E. Moise cif the mathematics depart- ment, gave a talk entitled, "How To Tell That a Simple Overhand Knot Is Really Knotted." He defined the knot as a "simple closed polygon in Eu- clidian three space" that starts and ends at a common point and has a certain minimal num- ber (k) of crossing points. Prof. Moise showed that the overhand knot is really knotted by proving that it cannot be deformed into a triangle. Such a knot is useful only to the mathematician and exists only in theory, THE OVERHAND knot most frequently used by mathematicians in diagrams resembles a pretzel but is not anchored at a fixed point. This flexibility is one of the crucial factors in proving a knot to be a knot. If its shape can be deformed into a 'triangle so that there are no points of crossing on the dia- gram, then it is not a knot at all. The anchor bend and double clove hitches that sailors and boy scouts are famous for are not therefore kfiots at all in the math- Senior Pictures Seniors may make 'Ensian pic- ture appointments from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and tomorrow on the Diag, according to Fritz Cornwall, '55, 'Ensian promotions manager.

Young of the mathematics department conducted. They started out knowing very little about the subject and first studied available literature on the knot theory. The seminar was composed of a dozen faculty members and students and met weekly during the summer.
