FIE RACE FOR SHERIFF:
Democratic Hopefuls
Cite Need for Change

(Continued from Page 1)
"overlapping of authority between
local, township, state and the
sheriff's departments" as reasons
for "reverting" back to that func-
tion.
"Increasing emphasis should be
placed on patrolling fringe areas
where temporary and crowded
housing has resulted," he said.
Asks Custody Change
Willoughby also urged that cus-
tody of "lesser offenders" be
moved from the department to
the various cities or townships,
to be cared for them "at their
own expense and furnishing their
own facilities."
This, he said, "would offer tem-
porary relief from the terrific
overcrowding of our county jail."
Williams declared that it is the
duty of the sheriff "to see that all
individual problems are handled
with accuracy and fairness," and
outlined what he considered the
major responsibilities of the de-
partment:
Patrol Only County Roads
1) The Sheriff's Department
should patrol only county roads,
villages and towns. The State Po-
lice should patrol state highways,
and cities should be patrolled by
city police only.
2) No one in the department
should hold down more than one
job.
3) The department should be
run by the staff and not just one
man.
4) Politics should be removed
from the department.
Agree on Substation
Commenting on the substation
issue, Williams and Oltersdorf

both agreed that the station
should be in Ypsilanti township.
Numbering this among the func-
tions of the department, Williams
added to it the need for "two pa-
trol cars for the populous area."
Oltersdorf said he is "firmly
convinced that a sheriff's depart-
ment substation would have to be
in the Ypsilanti township area
where the population is heaviest."
To Restudy Question
Fitzgerald said that one of his
intentions is "to restudy and re-
consider the entire question of de-
centralized law enforcement to the
end of providing objective answers
in the matter of substations."
Oltersdorf also declared he fa-
vors "an eight-week training
course for all new deputies," along
with "refresher courses scheduled
periodically for senior officers."
TV Program
On Machine
T-hought Set
The question of whether or not
machines are capable of concep-
tual thought will be discussed by
three top computer designers and
theorists in a new University tele-
vision production entitled, "Can
Machines Think?"
The program, which will feature
Prof. John W. Carr III of the
mathematics department, Prof.
Marvin Minsky of MIT, and Ed-
ward Moore of Bell Telephone
Laboratories, is scheduled to be
seen on WXYZ-TV (Channel 7)
Detroit, at 9:30 a.m. August 31.

uniformly high standard of police
protection for the entire county."
He advocated changes in the
command structure of the depart-
ment, particularly in the detective
bureau, and said that "some re-
distribution of the duties of the
various divisions is also desirable."
His "major innovation," Hogan
said, is "the establishment of a
trial board to act on major disci-
plinary problems involving allega-
tions against members of the de-
partment.
Training Important
Both Lillie and Hogan said they
felt one of the department's main
concerns is the training of officers.
Hogan noted "the generally low
level of training within the de-
partment," and also pointed to
the "low morale" and "apparent
lack of public confidence in the
department as another of its prob-
lems.
Noting a "rising tide of national
and world lawlessness," Lillie said
a program for the "selection and
training of intelligent, high-mind-
ed and public-spirited officers" is
already under way in the depart-
ment.
Proposes Program
Petersen's proposed training pro-
gram includes police courses at
various universities and a system
of on-the-job training "with ex-
perienced officers. Perhaps the
most important of all," he de-
clared, "the members of the Sher-
iff's Department should always be
aware that they are the servants
of the citizens of Washtenaw
County."
Petersen also advocated a second
circuit court judge for the county
to alleviate present overcrowded
court conditions.

TO GATHER DATA ON ATMOSPHERE:
'U' Research Team Aids in Rocket Experiments

TO PROBE SPACE-Rockets about 21 feet long and 15 inches in diameter, like the Aerobee pictured
above, will be launched at Guam in an attempt to probe into the secrets of the upper atmosphere.
This particular rocket was among those fired by 'U' scientists at Fort Churchill, Manitoba last year.
The DOVAP antennae may be seen banded to the rocket tankage at about the halfway mark.*

INSIDE THE AEROBEE--This picture shows a section of the
instrumentation extension containing, from left to right, timer
which sets up the explosions, a radar beacon, its power supply.
Below the beacon is located a fuel cutoff receiver (not shown).

radar.
An array of microphones on the
ground picks up the sound signals
set up by the explosion. Knowing
the time required for the sound
waves to travel a given distance,
the scientists can determine the
average temperature of a given
layer of atmosphere.
Wind velocity and direction is
determined from knowledge or or-
ientation of the wavefront during
its descent.
Explosions Inaudible
The explosions, however, are in-
audible to human ears. This is be-
cause the higher frequency sound
waves which lie in the audible
range get attenuated during sound
propagation.

Allen said that no effort will
be made to recover whatever re-
mains of the rockets (each cost-
ing about $30,000), since they do
not carry any instruments to re-
cord and transmit data, and be-
cause it is unnecessary to study
the effects of atmosphere and
speed on the rocket body.
Frederick Bartman, a research
engineer at the Institute who
worked on the Fort. Churchill pro-
ject, said that these experiments
will help promote better under-
standing of weather, communica-
tion and related phenomena. The
information gained will be stored
for study and pursual by present
and future scientists.
Data Tube Processed
The ultimate value of the rocket
experiments and of the many oth-
er programs that constitute the

Y

overall efforts of IGY will be de-
termined largely by how effective-
ly the acquired data are used, Al-
len commented.
First, he added, must come the
task of reducing, analyzing, dis-
tributing and publishing the data
-a task which is very large in
comparison with the extent of the
experimental program.
Allen called the program one of
the United States' many efforts to
improve the international rela-
tions and broaden understanding
between nations. The information
obtained is shared by all coun-
tries and its fruits available to all
mankind - the fruits of what has
been called by scientists "the
greatest assault in history on the
secrets of the earth and its at-
mosphere."

715 N. University

The nation's first institute on
veterinary public health practice
will be held at the University
School of Public Health October
6-9.
The pioneer institute will bring
together a vast amount of knowl-
edge in this new field. In prepara-
tion for the meeting 95 research-
ers, in five study committees, have
been gathering information for
two years.
An expected 200 persons in all
professional fields of public health
and veterinary medicine from the
United States and Canada will at-
tend to join in the search for an
answer to the question: what is
the most effective use to be made
of veterinary medicine in public
health?
The advance study committees
have been working on 13 major
items: food hygiene (including

production of food animals and
human nutrition); experimental
medicine, surgery, an dthe care
of laboratory animals; adminis-
tration; geriatrics; chronic dis-
eases; and occupational health.
Also under study are: newer
needs in professional education;
military veterinary medicine; bio-
logical and pharmaceutical pro-
duction and control; dental dis-
eases; radiation; disease geog-
raphp; and laboratory administra-
tion and services, including re-
search.
Another purpose of the institute
will be "to compile a publication
on veterinary public health prac-
tice which reflects the thinking of
the institue, stimulated by formal
presentations and committee stu-
dies."
