'unishment
Having a death penalty decreas-
the certainty of punishment
r priminals and weakens the
amn deterrent to crime, accord-
g to criminology expert, Prof.
dwell J. Carr of the sociology de-
rtment.
"Since we don't have a foolproof
stem of linking the criminal with
a crime, and because the tender-
ss of juries usually makes it
ard to get the death penalty any-
ay, we're better off without one,"
of. Carr commented.
Comparing the 42 states which
wve the death penalty with the
x which don't-Michigan among
em-Prof. Carr pointed out that
ere is no significant difference
. either the rate or severity of
ime hinging on this factor.
Opposed to Penalty
The question of crime doesn't
nge on the death penalty, even
ough a rash of lurid crimes well-
iblicized always results in a call
r it. "I'm opposed to the death
malty in any case where the cri-
inal is convicted by what he's
~ne, rather than by what he is,"
'of. Carr explained
"I'd be in favor of it, if you're
re you've got your man, for pro-
ssional and pathological crim-
als when there's no hope for
1e." But, he added, the death
nalty should never be evoked
aen the evidence is only circum-
antial.
There's nothing as unreliable as
cumstantial evidence or an eye-
tness, and there are hundreds of
,ses of mistaken identity," ac-
rding to Prof. Carr. "Eleven per
nf of the lifers convicted in Mi-
igan are convicted by mistake."
Inefficient Business
Although Michigan rates in the
,per dozen of states on the basis
penal systems, there are five
ings the matter with the pre-
nt correction system in the U.S.
1. "The whole business is in-
ficient."
2. "It's unscientific; we don't
e the behavioral sciences enough.
here's only one psychiatrist and
half for the Michigan state pri-
n system."
3. "The whole thing is ridden
th politics. The Southern Michi-
.n prison riot wouldn't have oc-
irred if officials had paid atten-
n to 10 earlier reports of over-
owding in the 'prison."
Purposes Sabotaged
4. "The. processes of law are
botaged by the best people -
.e underworld doesn't live by tak-
g in its own washing-it's a
re person who doesn't try to
t even a traffic ticket fixed."
5. "It's budget, starved because
e public is ignorant of what the
stem isn't getting! There are
s of nice blue-prints around for
wer, better prisons, but as far
I know nobody's ever been
eked up in a blueprint."
'rench Film~

'assion for Life" will be present-

Band Heart-Beat

BAND REHEARSES IN HARRIS HALL

<.4-,-

The small red brick building on
the corner of State and Huron
Sts. has for years been the heart-
beat for many a musician inter-
ested in band music.
Harris Hall is once again play-
ing host to those students eager
to participate in a band for the
Summer Session.
This "year the band is compris-
Management
Courses Given
For Summer
Two special programs for ex-
ecutives in the upper levels of
management are being offered
this summer by the School of
Business Administration.
Now in its fifth year, the Pub-
lic Executive Program has en-
rolled in it 69 men from 'power
and light, gas and telephone
companies from 29 states and
three territories.
The executives, who range from
presidents to auditors are housed
in Helen Newberry: a women's
dormitory the rest of the year.
Dixon To Speak
The program is under the di-
rection of Prof. Robert L. Dixon
and William C. Tuthill of the ac-
counting department. Among the
eight visiting lecturers are Ed-
gar H. Dixon of Dixon and Yates
and -Dean Arthur R. Upgren of
Dartmouth College.
The basic purpose of the pro-
grain is to create an expanded
point of view and an interest in
the broader problems of business
and economics. It is designed for
men in high administrative posi-
tions with prospects for advance-
ment to top managerial posts.
Executive Program
Similar in purpose, the Execu-
tive Development Programs does
not emphasize problems peculiar
to any particular industry. It is
based on the need for men with
specialized backgrounds to un-
derstand the range of operations
of their companies and industries.
The 40 men enrolled in the pro-
gram are quartered in Gomberg
House of South Quad. The pro-
gram is under the direction of
Prof. Charles N. Davisson of the
marketing department.
Both programs are four week
courses with 24 and 26 hours of
classes respectively, guest lec-
turers and discussion sessions. Ex-
penses are generally paid by the
companies employing the men.

WASHINGTON WP) - Dr.
bert B. Sabin, a critic of the
polio vaccine, recommended

Al-
Salk
yes-

terday that its manufacture be
halted and a new vaccine devel-
oped with a "less virulent" strain
of the disease.
Sabin, a University of Cincin-
nati researcher, made his recom-
mendations in testifying at a
symposium on the vaccine con-
ducted by a House Commerce
subcommittee. Chairman James P.
Priest (D-Tenn) had called in 15
medical experts with the hope of
creating "renewed confidence" in
the mass vaccination program now
under way.
Two other doctors present took
issue with Sabin, who is working
on his own formula for an anti-
polio vaccine. They were Dr.
Thomas M. Rivers of the Rocke-
feller Institute for Medical Re-
search, New York, and Dr. Joseph
E. Smadel of the Army's Walter
Reed General Hospital here.
Rivers said that what Sabin
was suggesting was "That we stop
making a safe vaccine and make
a safer one."
Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele told another congression-
al group last week that the. Salk
vaccine is "a potent material as
safe as we know how to make it."
But Sabin, who is working with
the Children's Hospital Research
Foundation in Cincinnati, con-
tended there is no way to be sure
the vaccine now used can be
made "regularly safe."
