Professionals Against ABM7Z
McCracken spoke to. a! small group in
Gerrard Hall Tuesday night 'is the first of '
a, two-part lecture series on the"pros and
cons of the Safeguard Afitibaliishs Missile
Computer System.
His main contention .was the inability ,
to properly test the sy ste m short of
nuclear explosions. '
"If we could have a war every six
months for 10 years, the system might be ,
running by 1 980," he charged; : ;
McCracken pointed to-' the failure of
other large computer systems to be
error-free, even after extensive testing and
simulation. . '
-As a case in point; McCracken referred
to the Operating System for the IBM 360
family of computers. The system, . which .
. contains some 1 .6 million." instructions,"
tookt more . than. 3,000 man-years - of .
programming. - v; " ' ' "..;' .'.-.
Even with ' extensive testing and
simulation, he explained, the -system still '
contained more than 5,000 errors", when
released. . . - . :
The SABRE American Airlines
Passenger Reservation . System, represents
a case in which testing was performed in a
real but restricted market. , It failed
shortly after the New York regiofr was
included in the system. - ; ' -
"It was a near fiasco for a; while ie
!said. "Two hundred seats were sold on
90-seat airplanes all over the country.'
- The success of the Apollo computer
system is often presented in support of
. the ABM system, McCracken explained.
"But actually it is proof of the tenets of
the Computer Professionals Against
ABM.
. The Apollo system was a 10-year
development process with thousands of
' hours of manned space flight experience.
The computers had been tested
exhaustively.
"And nobody would jerk the moon
out of orbit 10 seconds before the
astronauts landed. The opponent was not
i hostile and capricious."
'McCracken also pointed out that no
computer professionals have come out in
favor of the AB M system.
' The system is not designed to protect
American cities, he explained, but to
protect just enough . Minutem en to
retaliate.
McCracken noted the Russians
implemented their own version of the
ABM computer with the deployment of
64 missile silos around Moscow, but their
computer professionals and generals have
not realized that such a system cannot be
made to work. They have discontinued
the development of the system.
; "Our system is designed to convince
the. Russians they shouldn't attack,"
McCracken . said, "But we can't believe
they are that dumb."
McCracken's talk was sponsored by
the UNC Student Chapter and the Central
Carolina Chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery. .
He will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday in 21 5
Phillips.
These awards were presented by
Sitterson and IFC presTflent Tom Nash.
The IFC awards went to Eric Carson
Fast, Charles Andrew Hunter, Frederick
D. Hutchinson, Michael T. Marshall,
Kenneth W. McAllister, Alfred Emory
Smith Jr. and George Curtis Weaver.
The John Johnson Parker Jr. Medal for
Unique Leadership in Student
Government was awarded to Jerry Richie
Leonard for his work with the Carolina
Union.
The medal recognizes the "member of
the graduating class who has
demonstrated most clearly the highest
qualities of leadership in perpetuating the
spirit and honor of student
. self-goverment." ,
Seven departmental awards were also
presented to the Chancellor in the
ceremony.
Judith Blanche Marshall was given the
Eben Alexander Prize in Greek, a $100
award for the best original rendering in
English of a Greek work.
Jane Garvey Tubbs and Stephen Mark
Keating were presented with the French
Government Awards. These two $100
prizes are given for outstanding work in
French. .
James Patrick Jarvis was recognized
for his achievements and originality in the
study of mathematics. He received the
Archibald Henderson Prize in
mathematics. -v
Three sociology students were given
recognition for their undergraduate
achievements in that field.
Jerry Richie Leonard, Donald Alan
Worth and Miss Toby Lee Parcel were
presented with the Howard W. Odurn
Undergraduate Sociology Awards"" by'
Sitterson.

excellence to Alison Jane Smith. The

UNC News Bureau
;; The United States is on the edge of a
"crisis of conscience" about the war in
Southeast Asia, UNC historian Samuel F.
Wells told 164 new members of UNC Phi
Beta Kappa Tuesday.
Wells asked for the students' help in
determining the direction and tone of
U.S. foreign relations in the Far East and
around the world. He spoke at a banquet
following Phi Beta Kappa initiation
ceremonies in Carroll Hall.

An undetermined number of keys to
campus buildings and dormitories were
stoken in a burglary on the UNC campus
Monday night. )
The headquarters of the campus
janitorial supervisor located in the Avery
dormitory basement was broken into.
The keys were apparently scooped out
of the desks in the office, according to
Dr. Claiborne Jones, assistant 0
cnanceiior J . uariyie sitterson.
Jones said none of the keys stolen had
any type of identification on them, thus
preventing the thief or thieves from
determining whichlocks the keys fit.
The exact number and identity of the
keys have not yet been completely
determined. An inventory is in progress
to determine exactly which keys were
taken, according to Jones.

buildings which the identified keys fit are
now being changed by the staff of the
physical plant, Jones said.
Apparently no keys to women's
dormitories were taken although several
keys to men's dormitories were taken in
the burglary.
Some keys to North Campus
classroom buildings were also taken. No

to two things, Wells predicted. It could
result in a "hysterical search for
scapegoats" as in the days of McCarthy,
or it could lead to a national examination
of what Senator Fulbright has called
'The Arrogance of Power" in U.S.
diplomatic relations.
Through such an examination, "we
might draw some worthwhile lessons
about the dangers of moral diplomacy
and the need for humility in human
affairs," Wells said.
U.S. involvement in the "quagmire of
Vietnam" began with a "limited practical
effort to assist the South Vietnamese,"
said Weels. "But this was presented in
bold moral terms, and first the Kennedy
and then the Johnson administrations
became committed to 'success in its
efforts."
'The web of deception grew in all
directions as the politicians bought time
from the public, as the military sought
expanded firepower to do the job, and as
