The founder of Computer
Professionals Against the ABM, Daniel
D. McCracken, will speak here Tuesday at
8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall.
McCracken will speak on "Why the
ABM Computer System Won't Work."
He is the author of ten textbooks on
computer programming and is a student
of the social problems caused by misuse
of computer technology.
McCracken founded Computer
Professionals Against the ABM in 1969,
an ad hoc organization presently
numbering about 500.
In describing his group's technical case
against the ABM, McCracken said, "As
professionals with a wide range of

'This guy I arrested once, some time
ago, invited me to one of his lectures.
There was no animosity between us. He
had said that I was a policeman and all
the others were just pigs."
Arthur Beaumont is chief of campus
security but he's more than just a campus
cop.
"I never went to a university myself.
As a matter of fact I couldn't even apply
for my own job now. You need a degree.
But I can go anywhere in the United

deadline to clear out.
As the riot police, carrying billy clubs,
gas masks and tear gas cannisters, swept
across the park, Wilson said, 'They (the
protesters) have been here unlawfully for
five-and-a-half hours and we figure that
gave them time enough to move out if
they wanted to."
When Wilson and 750 riot police
arrived shortly after 6 a.m. EDT, he
announced the camp's permit was being
revoked because of flagrant narcotics use
and other violations of the permit's
conditions.
experience with large scale computer
systems, we are convinced that the
pattern of development that must, of
necessity, be followed with Safeguard is
highly unlikely to lead to a successful
computer system."
He explained why the system wouldn't
work by pointing out three factors: .
The precise nature of the computing
task for the system cannot be defined. It
cannot be known, for example, what
kinds of electronic and other
countermeasures would be used by an
enemy, or what evasive maneuvers the
attackers might employ.
Realistic testing is impossible since it
would require nuclear explosions in the
atmosphere. Since no project of precisely
this nature has been undertaken before,
only artificial test data could be used.

"I feel secure with students,"
Beaumont said, 'They're sympathetic
and kind. I've often told the policemen
that they've got a chance to work with
the world's future leaders.
"We're in the midst of a social
revolution and there must be change. It's
frustrating to the people trying to keep
the old order but it will never be the
same.
"I have faith in the students to make
this a greater country. There are always
five per cent that always want change and
there is the five per cent that are
drop-outs but I have faith that 90 per
cent of the students are good.

. Evolutionary development, critical
to the development of every known
successful computer system, is out of the
question. The Safeguard computer would
never be given a second chance.
The organization believes the
computer would have virtually total
decision-making power, because the
warning time in a nuclear attack would be
so short minutes at most that
presidential or military review would be
almost impossible.
"Our experience with the failures of
large computer systems, not to mention
the relatively simple systems that -send
out department store bills, makes us
extremely reluctant to place so much
life-and-death power in the control of a
complex and untested machine,"
McCracken added.
McCracken has received degrees in
mathematics and chemistry from Central
Washington State College and is a
graduate of the Union Theological
Seminary in New York where he received
the Bachelor of Divinity degree'.
His talk is sponsored by the Central
Carolina Chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) and the
UNC Student Chapter of the ACM.

Beaumont added.

leader of the Peoples Coalition for Peace
and Justice which is sponsoring the final
demonstrations in three weeks of war
protests this spring, delcared, "We still
intend, Monday, May 3, to close down
the U.S. government" by blocking traffic
on highways and bridges leading to the
city.
He said the government moved on the
encampment because 'Too many people
are here. Too many came to shut down
the government. Now we have to think in .
a clear-headed way to see that Nixon's,
objectives to clear us out are not met."
The President was spending the
weedend in California. But the decision
to revoke the camping permit was made
jointly by the Justice and Interior
Deaprtments and the police late Saturday
after Nixon told a news conference there
that he would not allow those,
demonstrating for peace abroad to violate
the laws at home.
At the campsite, empty beer, wine and :
soft drink bottles littered the grass after;
the police swept through and then,
doubled back to make sure they had
missed no one.
The grass had been completely
trampled away in some spots where the
crowd was heaviest Saturday during a
day-long rock festival that attracted an
estimated 50,000 persons.
Those arrested at the encampment
were charged with unlawful entry and
held under $500 bond, meaning they
would have to post at least $50 to be
released.

that will help the University run better.
"No one will give information around
here, this is wrong. I want to help people
if I can."
The chief said he is unpopular with
some of the other policemen because of
his statements about drugs. "I won't lie
to get a point across. I don't like drugs
but we are a drug culture."
Students have really changed,
according to Chief Beaumont. "It used to
be that the students had their major all
picked out in their freshman year and
that was that. Now students sign up for
all these courses and then in their last
year they decide to change their major."
