WEEKLY SPinAL Ford Men Botch Up Economy

by Jack Aaderson WASHINGTON - Our Whate House sources tell us regretfully that President Ford is mismanaging the economy worse than former President Naxon did dur1ng the Watergate crisis. There is confusion in the White House, they say. over how to cope with econom1c problems.

The Presadent is still ans1st· ing that inflation is the na· taon's number one problem.

The measures he has adopted to fight inflation. meanwhile. are pu!.h1ng the nation into a recessaon. and this, many eco nomi s t s believe, ha s b eco me the number -one problem.

There rs now ev1dence that the Prcsrd~nt got his eco· n omic wm•s crossed. White House in.1dcrs sav his economiC advaser:o delive red a conf1de nt1al forecast to h1m severa I wt!cks ago that un<'mployment would hat 7 per Cl•nt n c\t year. Th1s would bc a ~urt• sign of a recessron.

But thl•ir cnnf1dcntial pre· dtctton nevca' reached the Economtc Pol1cy Board whtlc it was workan~ot out tht• President's t.>conom1c pro· gram Th1s board as the nallon's top economic pohcymakang group. Yet 1ts members went ahead wtlh a plan to fight ao· nation unaware that the Prestdcnt's economic ad · visers. in effect, expected a recessaon Thus. an 1ncreasmg num· ber of economists believe the Presid ent is fighting th e wrong econom1c war with the wrong weapons at tht> wrong lime.

Ford to QuU! : Sources close to Gerald Ford now believe he will not try to stay in the Whate House after 1976.

The reasons are both per· sonal and pohtacal. The pr1· mary reason, of course. as h1s w1fe's poor health. Betty Ford, even before her breast surgery, had been urg1ng h er husband to retire from pohtacs.

There lS even taUt of estab· lishing a ceremonial pres1· dent who would attend to the formalities or the office, while a constitutional president will concentrate on governing the nahon.

Some of the lessons of Watergate, it appears. may finally be adopted by the new Congress.

Jo' r1enas say that Ford depends heav1ly on his wife for political advice. He has sorely missed her views dur· ing her allness. If she now asks him to step down. he probably would do so.

The man himself may also be t1rang of the fray. In the past, he has enjoyed political barnstormmg. But his perfor· man cc this fall was lacklu ter Pn,•ately, GOP leaders fear his bland style wall also hurt Republican c hances in 1976 lrhey know him well enough .c lc&i ham about thear apprehensiOns. It is JUSt po ss 1bl e, therefore. that Gerald Ford may be content to settle for his as~ured place in history: a caretaker pres1dent who saw the nation through a crisis.

Hill Reform: The new Con· gress wall be dominated by junior members who have been e lected wathin the last six y~ars . Even before the election. 61 senior members ret1red. rather than face the electorate agam . Most of them were obstructaon1sts who have helped to block reform Now a majority appears to favor reform. The first test w11l come an December when tht> Hous~ Democrats hold thear organ1zing caucus. The newcomers will set up a howl for congressional r eforms .

They are also talk1ng about ch ecking the power of the presadt>nt There will be rcnewl'd support for a con stltutlona l amendment that would permit Congress to remove a president 1n a thrcc·luurths ,·otc of each House. ( ' on't. pg. J. Col. -1

What constitutes acceptable <AC> work in a course has recently become a problem for students . I specifically refer to the infamous ES 3004; better known as that dirty word FLUIDS. Complaints about this course are not a new thing. This is the fourth year I've heard students screaming for at least SI fighting chance in that course.

To get to the crux of the matter, I point out for all to observe, the particular sections of ES 3004 which were taught ( ? > term A. "Rwnor" <meaning knowledge gained by hearsay> has it that those students whose final average in the course was BELOW THE MEAN DID NOT PASS THE COURSE. I think this is grossly unfair not only in itself, but also in taking into consideration the number of students who elected to grind out the course in an attempt to pass, while several others chose to drop out.

Obviously the class was polarized by the bright students who remained in the course. As a result the below average and even the average students were doomed from the start.

Time has come to expose the people responsible for such atrocities . Yes, that's you Professor Meader. It seems apparent that when approximately half of a class flunks a course there must be something wrong with the instructor. Indeed there are some professors on this campus who are very intelligent (as in the above>, but who are very poor teachers Cas in the above) . Such teachers Jack the ability to communicate with students on the STUDENTS' level. I find it a tremendous injustice that such a professor should penalize the students in his course because of HIS (ailures.

In order to correct the above situation, the professor should make a strong effort to reform his teaching methods (don't forget to think about the students' point of view. Prof.

Meader) or else step down so that someone else may make an attempt.

from WPI There 's only one thtrtg I lik e mo re than being a s tudent at WPI . That 's bc>i ng a stude nt away f r om WPI . Th ere is a rea l wor ld out the r e desp1te the illusion s you •mffer f ro m continual residence hc>r e.

During t~e summer and fall I had the opportunity to participate in a political campaign.

Although th is is an enterprise regard ed by many a s one step below loansharking , it is a stimulating and r ewarding undertaking (espe c ially if your candidate wins ).

It is heartening to know that conditions in Washington are almost guaranteed to improve.

With the many new faces in Congress we will see new dedication and honesty in our govern· ment. One of the new fac es is Da vid Em ery EE '70 of Maine - see this week 's Alumni Profile.

Congressman Emery is proof that you don't ha ve to be a lawyer to ser ve y our country.

My ad vice to WPI students is to get in· volved, or at least acquainted. with government in Washington or at ho me. The problems of the nation can no longer be solve d by a group of old windbags. The need is gre at f or young, talented people to take up the reins. I urge you to take part in the Washington Project and see what I ' m talking about. Wa shi ngton need s a few more new faces, and you need the c hange of scener y!!!

On ThursdaY. ~ovember 7 the Committee on Academic Policy held an open meeting on the Competency Exam . ')isagreements and Confusion highlighted the frustrating discussion . The major observation was that no two people in the WPl Community agree on what a Competency exam should be Students who attended the meeting must have left with a reeling of fear , still not knowing what is in store for them when that trying moment of the exam arrives. Some students gave suggestions towards improving the exam but were quickly shut down as most faculty took a defensive position for their departments What all this means is that the WPI Plan is currently in the midst of a CRISIS, a crisis which should be resolved now '!

The principle behind demonstrating comptenc1 is excellent, but the implementation of the principle has left much to be desired.

Let's correct the problem and let's do it now. It's about time that the departments of this school got together with the administration to work out this whole mess. Without departmental c ooperation the problem is headed for disaster.

In the midst of it all our students pay the toll.

With my deadline approachtnH quickly, I barely have time to count my words, no Jess produce a worthwhile piece on a controversial subject. I am sure there 1s no lack of such topics. Strife is the result of ignorance, ignorance is the result of strife. But ignorance IS not the word because knowledge d~ not prevent or solve strife. it produces it. What? Yes, most certainly! Mountains of knowledge are worthless, of course. Shoveling krowledge like coaJ into a pilt! is not wise, for the thirst for knowledge only leads one to the brackish pool, or to an institute such as ours. Students, was it the bright renection of the pedant's pyr1le that brought you here?

e xerc1se of wit that mathematics affords? Yes, for if II was mirth and mire, a conspiracy with love a nd faith , or a grasp of the dire s tale entire, upon the tavern's door you would have knocked. Your call would be for wine ! wine ! wine !

And any rimp who complains later that he couldn't say tender words to his girlfriend cuz the music was too loud doesn't understand what's going on. Rock 'n' Roll concerts a re not meant to be romantic. They are meant to make you SWEAT! !

Social Science

lntroducion Th1s new department1s concerned w1th the substance and process or soc1al problem-1>0I\'Ing, especially as related to technological development. Most perceiVed problems - e .g., urban deterioration. enVIronmental pollution. or public weHare - go beyond the boundarieS Of traditional soc1al sc1en(•e disclp1ines. Hence, the courses offered provide knowledge and research techmques coming from several disciplines : economics, sociology . psychology , political science, and law Students have the opportunity to view social problems and the relation or technology to society from several perspectives and to become acquainted with differing m ethods or social dat.a-gathen ng and analysis.

This will provide a background for designing interactive qualifying projects . As interactive projects gener ate new data and experiences. these will be incor porated into the content of the courses.

The courses are grouped into two broad sections. The fi rst consists o r core courses that help students understand the scope and limits of social sc1ence a pproaches and how they might be related to the design or in· teractive qualirying projects. IThe numbers given these courses have a 1 or.a 2 in the fi rst digit. l The second more advanced set of courses looks in depth at particular issues and problems, providing students with more detailed understanding of social sc1ence disciplines and their use in social problem-solving and interachve projects. CTbe numbers given these courses have a 3 or 4 in the rirst digit.> Students at the present time may major in economics As starr a re added to this new department, an additional major wJII be developed . The core courses curr ently offered include : to:conomlcs SS 1101 American Enterprise, Profits, and the Price System SS 1102 Stability and Growth in the American Economy SS 1103 Issues in Political Econom y Social P sythology SS 2201 A Sociai·Psychological Perspective on National Problem· Solving SS 2202 Socia l Research and Social Problem -Solving Govern a ncf' a nd Law SS 2310 Dynamics and Limits or Law SS 2311 Legal Regulation of the Environment Other courses are bemg planned in the problems of democratic governance and the operation or bur eaucratic ogranizations.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute has received a gift of $150.000 from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation which will be used to integrate more effeclively va rious humanities disciplines with undergraduate studies in engineering President George W. Hazzard announced today.

President Hazzard said the Mellon gift would provide a vital ingredient to the successful im-

plementat10n of the WPI Plan. The grant was made to enable WPl to provide released time durtng the next three years for key faculty to encourage them to forge s tronger links between lhe humanihes and engineering, and between these d1sciplines a nd the natural and social sciences. The award was recommended in view of WPI's str ong commitment to make humamstic disciplines a part of the

SPORTS .HIGHLIGHTS Engineers Lose Finale, 42 - 3

\\

Olll Bl.f: \0\t 'Tl Rt

h~ ( \ The WPI football team ended 1ts season on a losmg note droppmg a 42·3 dec1sion to Norwich Uni\ers1ty The Cadets used a pott>nt ground attack and a devastat1ng defense to completely throttle the Engineer'l>. ll was WPI who scort.'<l first. on a 23 yard field goal by freshman Brad l\111ls, but after that it was all Norw1ch as WPI never again dented the Cadets' 35-yard line.

After the Engmcer field goal, Norwich scored its first touchdown .,.. hrn linebacker Bob Sylva broke through and blocked a Mike Irwin punt then picked up the ball and ran In Cor a U>uchdown The Cadets drove 60 yards for their second touchdown wtth Sam P1zzimenti bulhng over from two yards out Cor the ~ore · Just before halflime, Norw1ch managed to score agam. Thts time defensn·e back Pat Murray p1cked off a John Pappas aerial and raced -17 yaro fo1 the score. This made it 21·3 at halftime The second hair was more of the same as the Engineer defense was unable to stop the big plays Norwich needed to sustam a drive. The Cadets scored the first two limes they had the ball in the second half. The first hme on a two yard run by J1m Kelly and the second on a 16 yard pass from quarterback Walt Houghtaling to end Bob Morris .

The final score of the day came orr a briiJiant run by halfback Joe 1\larlJn as he went right up the middle on a draw play, broke numerous tackles and went 62 yards Cor the TO. WPI's downfaJI was really caused by its inability to move the ball on offense. Thts gave Norwich good field position the whole game and prov1ded no rest for the overworked defense. WPI wanted to pass a lot but could only manage four completions in 18 attempts all day. That just about tells the story in itself ! !
